I Low Intensity Conflict: Contemporary Approaches and Strategic Thinking A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy at the University of Waikato by Deane Searle University of Waikato 2006 II Abstract Low Intensity Conflict (LIC) is a significant feature of the contemporary world and it is a particular challenge to the armed forces of many states which are involved is such conflict, or are likely to become so. This thesis is not concerned with how such difficult conflict situations arise. Rather it is concerned with how, from the point of view of the state, they may be contained and ultimately brought to a satisfactory resolution. The work is thus concerned with the practicalities of ending LIC. More specifically, the purpose of this research is to establish a framework of doctrinal and military principles applicable to the prevention and resolution of LIC.

  • JB's Extensive Listing of Pulp-Related Gaming Resources
    - LASTJB UPDATED:’s Extensive 6/8/2012 8:09:07 PM Listing of Pulp Related Gaming Resources I was one of the original co-authors for what would eventually become The Ravaged Earth Society (a Savage Worlds sourcebook). Although I had nothing to do with the final version Pulpof the product Gaming I did do a huge Resources amount of research on the genre while working on the original draft -- my original list of resources is 12 typewritten pages long). Whether you’re looking for adventure seeds, information to use in expanding your campaign or simply inspiration while creating your next intrepid hero, the information that follows will prove both useful and insightful. In compiling this resource, I have deviated from the standard definition of “Classic Pulp”, instead adopting a much broader interpretation in which camp and over-the-top actions are the defining factors. Ultimately, the deciding factor as to whether to include a reference or not was the answer to the following question: “Does this reference contain information that could easily be used in a pulp adventure or campaign?” If the answer was yes, it was included; otherwise, it got the boot! ROLEPLAYING GAMES Some of these games are out of print, while others are available only as electronic files, so getting your hands on them may require a trip to an online vendor such as RPGNow or perhaps even eBay.

  • THE COLLECTED POEMS of HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam
    1 THE COLLECTED POEMS OF HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam 2 PREFACE With the exception of a relatively small number of pieces, Ibsen’s copious output as a poet has been little regarded, even in Norway. The English-reading public has been denied access to the whole corpus. That is regrettable, because in it can be traced interesting developments, in style, material and ideas related to the later prose works, and there are several poems, witty, moving, thought provoking, that are attractive in their own right. The earliest poems, written in Grimstad, where Ibsen worked as an assistant to the local apothecary, are what one would expect of a novice. Resignation, Doubt and Hope, Moonlight Voyage on the Sea are, as their titles suggest, exercises in the conventional, introverted melancholy of the unrecognised young poet. Moonlight Mood, To the Star express a yearning for the typically ethereal, unattainable beloved. In The Giant Oak and To Hungary Ibsen exhorts Norway and Hungary to resist the actual and immediate threat of Prussian aggression, but does so in the entirely conventional imagery of the heroic Viking past. From early on, however, signs begin to appear of a more personal and immediate engagement with real life. There is, for instance, a telling juxtaposition of two poems, each of them inspired by a female visitation. It is Over is undeviatingly an exercise in romantic glamour: the poet, wandering by moonlight mid the ruins of a great palace, is visited by the wraith of the noble lady once its occupant; whereupon the ruins are restored to their old splendour.
