She’s an old jester-bard so I’d probably run with it. Maybe I’d even treasure hunter who got to the island by redesign dungeon level 4 to feature some magical means. This is simply because old gnome vaults and some deep gnome she’s so far from land and trade routes that lore too. I might even tie the whole it’s hard to justify any other reason for her situation to the gnome caves of C. S. Lewis, to be marooned here. She was captured by or the Nome King from L.

She’s delirious, trying to keep herself fed while she struggles to remember the command Example #13: word for her magical carpet.

Patala-Nammal Composite Total Petroleum System, Kohat-Potwar Geologic Province, Pakistan
Patala-Nammal Composite Total Petroleum System, Kohat-Potwar Geologic Province, Pakistan By C.J. Wandrey, B.E. Law, and Haider Ali Shah Petroleum Systems and Related Geologic Studies in Region 8, South Asia Edited by Craig J. Wandrey U.S. Geological Survey Bulletin 2208-B U.S. Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey U.S. Department of the Interior Gale A. Norton, Secretary U.S. Geological Survey Charles G. Groat, Director Posted online February 2004, version 1.0 This publication is only available online at: http://pubs.usgs.gov/bul/b2208-b/ Foreword This report describing the petroleum resources within a total petroleum system in Pakistan was prepared as part of the World Energy Assessment Project of the U.S. Geological Survey. For this project, the world was divided into 8 regions and 937 geologic provinces, which were then ranked according to the discovered oil and gas volumes within each (Klett and others, 1997). Of these, 76 “priority” provinces (exclusive of the United States and chosen for their high ranking) and 26 “boutique” provinces (exclusive of the United States and chosen for their anticipated petroleum richness or special regional economic importance) were selected for appraisal of oil and gas resources. The petroleum geology of these priority and boutique provinces is described in this series of reports. The purpose of the World Energy Project is to assess the quantities of oil, gas, and natural gas liquids that have the potential to be added to reserves within the next 30 years. These volumes either reside in undiscovered fi elds whose sizes exceed the stated minimum-fi eld-size cutoff value for the assessment unit (variable, but must be at least 1 million barrels of oil equivalent) or occur as reserve growth of fi elds already discovered. -
The Life of William Carey, Shoemaker & Missionary
The Life of William Carey by George Smith PREFACE On the death of William Carey In 1834 Dr. Joshua Marshman promised to write the Life of his great colleague, with whom he had held almost daily converse since the beginning of the century, but he survived too short a time to begin the work. In 1836 the Rev. Eustace Carey anticipated him by issuing what is little better than a selection of mutilated letters and journals made at the request of the Committee of the Baptist Missionary Society. It contains one passage of value, however. Dr. Carey once said to his nephew, whose design he seems to have suspected, “Eustace, if after my removal any one should think it worth his while to write my Life, I will give you a criterion by which you may judge of its correctness. If he give me credit for being a plodder he will describe me justly. Anything beyond this will be too much. I can plod. I can persevere in any definite pursuit. To this I owe everything.” In 1859 Mr. John Marshman, after his final return to England, published The Life and Times of Carey, Marshman, and Ward, a valuable history and defence of the Serampore Mission, but rather a biography of his father than of Carey. When I first went to Serampore the great missionary had not been twenty years dead. During my long residence there as Editor of the Friend of India, I came to know, in most of its details, the nature of the work done by Carey for India and for Christendom in the first third of the century. -
Dragons and Dragon Lore
DRAGONS AND DRAGON LORE BY ERNEST INGERSOLL With an Introduction by HENRY FAIRFIELD OSBORN President of the American Museum of Natural History "There’s no such thing in nature, and you’ll draw A faultless monster which the world ne’er saw." 1928 Payson & Clarke Ltd. New York Introduction I became intensely interested in Dragon Worship and the Dragon Myth during my recent journey in China and Mongolia in support of the Central Asiatic Expeditions of Roy Chapman Andrews. Especially, in the royal city of Peking appears the apotheosis of the Dragon in every conceivable form of symbolism and architecture. The Dragons leading up to the steps of the temples and palaces of the Manchu emperors, and the superb dragon-screen guarding the approach to one of the royal palaces, are but two of the innumerable examples of the universal former belief in these mythical animals, and of the still prevailing beliefs among the common people of China. For example, one night in a far distant telegraph station in the heart of the desert of Gobi, I overheard two men pointing out Leader Andrews and myself as 'men of the Dragon bones.' On inquiry, I learned that our great Central Asiatic Expedition was universally regarded by the natives as engaged in the quest of remains of extinct Dragons, and that this superstition is connected with the still universal belief among the natives that fossil bones, and especially fossil teeth have a high medicinal value. Not long after my return from Central Asia, I suggested to my friend, Ernest Ingersoll, that he write the present volume, preparing a fresh study of the history of the Dragon Myth which, now largely confined to China, once spread all over Asia and Europe, as dominant not only in mythology but entering even into the early teachings of Christianity, as so many other pagan myths have done. -

This man went into hiding at Gilan following the death of his father at the hands of the Shirvanshahs, and he published poetry under the pen name Khata’i. At Qunduz, this man reunited Khanzada Begum with her younger brother. This leader ordered the destruction of the tomb of Abu Hanifa during his conquest of Iraq, and Div Soltan served as regent for this man’s son following his death. This son of Sheikh Haydar led a group of seven tribes, the most powerful of which was the Shamlu, to victory over the Aq Qoyunlu Confederacy. This ruler’s successor signed the Treaty of (*) Amasya, and this ruler lost his capital of Tabriz to the forces of Selim the Grim following the Battle of Chaldiran, the first defeat for his red-turban wearing Shi’a warriors, known as the Qizilbash. For 10 points, name this founder of the Safavid dynasty. ANSWER: Shah Isma’il I [or Esma’il I Safavi; or Abū l-Muzaffar bin Haydar as-Safavī] 2. An equimolar mixture of this molecule and borane in THF can reduce ketones to secondary alcohols by forming oxazaborolidine in situ. In DMF, this molecule reacts with an enolate to form an intermediate that attacks only the re-face of an electrophilic aldehyde, while in a selectively-syn reaction, a PMP-protected imine reacts with an enamine formed from this molecule to create a beta- amino-carbonyl. -
Maps, Myths, and Monsters
Maps, Myths, and Monsters Completed By: 1 Introduction When Sebastian Munster was making maps in the early 1500s, he wanted to include pictures of people and animals from far away. But Munster didn’t have photographs or the internet to help him-- instead he had to rely on stories from explorers and very old books for his information. Munster lived during a time period we call the Renaissance, which lasted from about 1450 to 1600. Europe was discovering a lot about the world during the Renaissance, but there was still a lot that they misunderstood. Directions: Find the following images of mythical characters and creatures on the Renaissance maps and illustrations provided. Make sure to note the item numbers when you find the images. Part One: Myths Myths are stories that include supernatural beings or events in order to explain how nature, ideas, or practices came into existence. Medieval Myths In the Middle Ages, people were taught to believe that the only source of truth was the Catholic Church. Even though map people during the Renaissance began to believe that science and logic were the keys to knowledge, many medieval myths were still widely accepted. 1. If you asked most Europeans during the Middle Ages how human beings came to exist, they would likely tell you the story of Adam and Eve, found in the Book of Genesis, which is included in the Bible. According to Genesis, the first man, Adam was created from dust by god. The first woman, Eve, was created from a rib of Adams. In the Medieval worldview, all human beings are descendants of Adam. -
