JAN-DEC 1999 Number 27 Editorial JAN-DEC 1999 Number 27 Editorial This issue of Pachyderm is a year’s issue, covering IUCN January to December 1999. We have been lagging The World Conservation Union behind our publication schedule for some time and need to adjust to the calendar. You will discover a new section: Review and Opinion, which is distinctly different from the Research and Methodology sec- tion, in that the presentation of original research re- sults is not the main focus. S P E C I E S S U R V I V A L We are trying to streamline the typography and C O M M I S S I O N lay-out of incoming contributions and would like to appeal to future contributors to follow more closely the guidelines to ease the editing of manuscripts meant Pachyderm for publication in Pachyderm.

On behalf of Greg Overton (editor of issue no. 26), the current editor apologizes for this unfortunate error. III. On page 123, paragraph 2, line 1 should have read: During the year April 1997 to March 1998, a total of 28 known rhinos were recorded within MMNR.

The design incorporates high operating efficiency, low maintenance costs and resistance to damage in service. The patented rotor design gives overlapping coverage of the full shredder width with reversible swing hammers. The shredders have been installed worldwide for the last 25 years and are reliable and proven. The rupturing of the cane cells by the shredder leads to high extractions being obtained in both milling trains and diffusers. Cane & Bagasse Diffusers The Tongaat Hulett Diffuser is a variant of the moving bed diffuser. The basic design is a counter current contactor where juice is pumped (with a high percentage of recycle) onto a moving bed of prepared cane between 1.5 and 1.8 meters deep contained in a vessel approximately 60 meters long and divided into 10 to 14 stages. Typically the diffuser would have a working width between 6 and 12 meters.

  • Rules and Options
    Rules and Options The author has attempted to draw as much as possible from the guidelines provided in the 5th edition Players Handbooks and Dungeon Master's Guide. Statistics for weapons listed in the Dungeon Master's Guide were used to develop the damage scales used in this book. Interestingly, these scales correspond fairly well with the values listed in the d20 Modern books. Game masters should feel free to modify any of the statistics or optional rules in this book as necessary. It is important to remember that Dungeons and Dragons abstracts combat to a degree, and does so more than many other game systems, in the name of playability. For this reason, the subtle differences that exist between many firearms will often drop below what might be called a "horizon of granularity." In D&D, for example, two pistols that real world shooters could spend hours discussing, debating how a few extra ounces of weight or different barrel lengths might affect accuracy, or how different kinds of ammunition (soft-nosed, armor-piercing, etc.) might affect damage, may be, in game terms, almost identical. This is neither good nor bad; it is just the way Dungeons and Dragons handles such things. Who can use firearms? Firearms are assumed to be martial ranged weapons. Characters from worlds where firearms are common and who can use martial ranged weapons will be proficient in them. Anyone else will have to train to gain proficiency— the specifics are left to individual game masters. Optionally, the game master may also allow characters with individual weapon proficiencies to trade one proficiency for an equivalent one at the time of character creation (e.g., monks can trade shortswords for one specific martial melee weapon like a war scythe, rogues can trade hand crossbows for one kind of firearm like a Glock 17 pistol, etc.).
