Vous trouverez ici tout un ensemble de petites règles optionnelles, notamment un système de compétences progressif, qui feront le bonheur de tous les joueurs d'AD&D en général et ceux du Monde d'Extrêmia en particulier.

  • Dictionary of Building and Civil Engineering Dictionnaire Du Bâtiment Et Du Génie Civil About the Author
    DICTIONARY OF BUILDING AND CIVIL ENGINEERING DICTIONNAIRE DU BÂTIMENT ET DU GÉNIE CIVIL ABOUT THE AUTHOR Don Montague is a Chartered Engineer (MICE, MIMechE) with experience in many fields of engineering, building and construction. He read Engineering Science at Oxford (MA) and then did pioneering work on machine design using the early DEUCE digital computer in the 1960s. Subsequently he worked in the public service in timber research (AJWSc), became deeply involved in environmental conservation and began a love affair with the practice of building. In 1971 he joined Ove Arup & Partners and spent his first five years with them co-ordinating multi- disciplinary building design teams. After a period running his own structural component firm he rejoined Arups and became responsible for their engineering specifications, design guides and feedback notes. He has published articles on a wide range of topics, from environmental conservation to structural components, and integrated design to maintenance of building services. He retired as Technical Director of Arups in 1991. A life-long interest in the French language and life led him and his wife to move to France, where he is now as busy as ever working for himself with local French building professionals. L’AUTEUR Don Montague est un ingénieur (MICE, MIMechE) dont l’expérience couvre de nombreux domaines du génie, du bâtiment et de la construction. Après avoir fait ses études d’ingénieur à Oxford (MA), il entreprit des travaux innovateurs sur la conception des machines en faisant appel à l’ordinateur numérique DEUCE dans les années 1960. Par la suite, il travailla dans le secteur public dans la recherche sur le bois (AJWSc).

  • The Halberd and Other Polearms of the Late Medieval Period
    The Halberd and Other Polearms of the Late Medieval Period George A. Snook, MD Starting at sometime in the 13th century and slowly evolving over 200 years was a weapon that in conjunction with the missile types of armaments resulted in the decline of dominance of the armored horseman. This weapon was the halberd, and I believe that this weapon and the other polearms are one of the more neglected subjects in the study of weapons. There have been a few attempts to remedy this situation, but the field is still mostly ignored. In a sense this is a paradox, because some of them are still used as the symbol of protection, as in the case of the Swiss Guards of the Papacy. In books about medieval weapons, they are usually relegated to a short chapter or sometimes simply a captioned photograph (usually incorrectly identified). The field is still waiting for a complete and definitive study. by the facts that the axe was already in use and the sword was Why is this weapon so neglected? There are several too valuable to be used in this manner. reasons. There is an aura about the sword in Europe, where it The primitive axe consisted of a stone head placed in a I is symbolic of the military, of Justice, and of the romance of cleft pole and secured with sinews or rawhide thongs.

  • Poet-Translators in Nineteenth Century French Literature: Nerval, Baudelaire, Mallarmé” Dir
    POET-TRANSLATORS IN NINETEENTH CENTURY FRENCH LITERATURE: NERVAL, BAUDELAIRE, MALLARMÉ by Jena Whitaker A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland April 2018 Ó 2018 Jena Whitaker All rights reserved ABSTRACT The ‘poet-translator is a listener whose ears are transformed through translation. The ear not only relates to the sensorial, but also to the cultural and historical. This dissertation argues that the ‘poet-translator,’ whose ears encounter a foreign tongue discovers three new rhythms: a new linguistic rhythm, a new cultural rhythm, and a new experiential rhythm. The discovery of these different rhythms has a pronounced impact on the poet-translator’s poetics. In this case, poetics does not refer to the work of art, but instead to an activity. It therefore concerns the reader’s will to listen to what a text does and to understand how it works. Although the notion of the ‘poet-translator’ pertains to a wide number of writers, time periods, and fields of study, this dissertation focuses on three nineteenth-century ‘poet-translators’ who each partly as a result of their contact with German romanticism formed an innovative and fresh account of linguistic, cultural, and poetic rhythm: Gérard de Nerval (1808-1855), Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867), and Stéphane Mallarmé (1842-1898). Each of these ‘poet-translators acted as cultural mediators, contributing to the development of new literary genres and new forms of critique that came to have significant effects on Western Literature. A study of Nerval, Baudelaire and Mallarmé as ‘poet-translators’ is historically pertinent for at least four reasons.

  • Guida Al Coltello Moderno Tutto Quello Che Vorreste Sapere Subito…
    Dario “Darrex” Giacalone Guida al Coltello Moderno Tutto quello che vorreste sapere subito….. Guida per l’introduzione al mondo delle lame. 1 By Dario “Darrex” Giacalone Presentazione. Salve, Credo di potermi presentare come un piccolo collezionista, ed appassionato dei coltelli e delle lame in genere. Spero di non essere confuso con coloro che vedono il coltello “solo” come un oggetto atto ad offendere, e spero che, proprio questa guida che ho compilato, potrà far luce sulle differenze che ci sono tra noi appassionati, e coloro che invece usano questo “attrezzo”, in maniera deprecabile. Inoltre voglio far notare, a coloro che non sono appassionati del settore, che i modelli che descrivo e di cui parlo, a volte, costano svariate centinaia, se non migliaia, di euro, e quindi non sono degli oggetti che si possono trovare nelle bancarelle dei mercatini, ma delle vere opere d’arte, che hanno alle spalle uno studio ed una progettazione che richiede anche molti mesi di lavoro. Questa guida, vuole essere, appunto, un orientamento per coloro che si stanno avvicinando al mondo del coltello e delle lame in genere. E che hanno un certo livello di educazione, culturale e responsabilità che gli permetterà, dopo un eventuale lettura o consulto, di apprezzarle ancora di più. Ho cercato di inserire quanto più materiale possibile per diminuire l’impatto che si ha quando si cominciano a frequentare i forum sull’argomento. Desidero ringraziare tutti gli amici dei forum che frequento, per i loro consigli e il loro sapere, senza i quali non avrei potuto scrivere questa semplice guida;inoltre ringrazio anche coloro che hanno messo a disposizione, descrizioni, tabelle, disegni ed immagini (molti trovati in rete), in quanto una parte del mio lavoro è stato proprio la ricerca, per la creazione di questa guida, dei tanti elementi che la compongono, sommati al mio mediocre sapere sulle lame in genere.

These suggestions and proposals are preliminary and are not intended to imply official Kingdom of Artemisia or Society for Creative Anachronism policy or guidelines. Some of the weapons described in this report may be restricted or illegal to possess or to use in some states. Their use might not be proscribed if used at SCA-sanctioned events, but it is the responsibility of the user to verify this.

  • Material World: an Archaeology-Adjacent Packet by Nick Jensen
    Material World: An archaeology-adjacent packet By Nick Jensen 46 power-marked tossups, plus an appendix of rejected clues 1. A site named for this type of place preserved gracile fossils that Alan Thorpe claimed evolved continuously from the robust ones at Kow (“cow”) Swamp to defend the “multiregional” model of hominin evolution. Andrzej (“AHND-jay”) W Weber directs an “Archaeology Project” named for one of these places that was inhabited by the Serovo and Glazkov cultures. One of these places names the Pleistocene “Man” and “Lady” discovered by Jim Bowler, Rhys Jones and John Mulvaney on Muthi Muthi land. The earliest known cremation occurred in a region named for these places in (*) New South Wales, where their remnants formed clay lunettes. One of these places names a site where the Fort Walton culture built seven mounds north of Tallahassee. Millennia ago, these places formed in the Willandra region. The Sagan-Zaba II site at the largest of these places provides evidence of ancient seal hunting. For 10 points, what natural features include Florida’s Jackson, Australia’s Mungo and Siberia’s Baikal? ANSWER: relict lakes [or ozero; or nuur; accept lakebeds or lake basins or lake bottoms or dry lakes; accept Willandra Lakes Region or Lake Mungo or Lake Baikal or Ozero Baykal or Baigal nuur or Lake Jackson Mounds Archaeological State Park; prompt on Mungo Lady or Mungo Man by asking, “Mungo was originally what kind of natural feature?”; prompt on Baikal Archaeology Project by asking, “Baikal is what kind of natural feature?”] <Any/miscellaneous> 2. A “Broken” example of these objects names a cave where Earl H Morris found two of them made by the Basketmaker Anasazi.
