Regionalliga West/Südwest

The Regionalliga West/Südwest was the third tier of the German football league system in the states of Saarland, Rheinland-Pfalz and Nordrhein-Westfalen from 1994 to 2000.

Overview

The Regionalliga West/Südwest was formed in 1994 to form a regional third level of play between the 2. Bundesliga and the Oberligas Westfalen, Nordrhein and Südwest. The league was made up of 18 clubs, with six each from the three regions it covered. It was formed alongside three other Regionalligas, the Regionalliga Nord, Nordost and Süd.

The founding members were:

From the 2. Bundesliga:

  * Rot-Weiß Essen (Oberliga Nordrhein region)

From the Oberliga Westfalen:

  * Arminia Bielefeld
  * SC Verl
  * TuS Paderborn-Neuhaus
  * SpVgg Erkenschwick
  * SG Wattenscheid 09 II
  * Preußen Münster

From the Oberliga Nordrhein:

  * Wuppertaler SV
  * Alemannia Aachen
  * Bonner SC
  * Preußen Köln
  * 1. FC Bocholt

From the Oberliga Südwest:

  * FSV Salmrohr
  * SV Eintracht Trier 05
  * Borussia Neunkirchen
  * SC Hauenstein
  * SV Edenkoben
  * VfB Wissen

The number of teams in the league varied, starting its first season (1995) with 18, then 19 (1996), 18 (1997, 1998), 17 (1999), and 20 (2000).

The league winner was always promoted to the 2. Bundesliga; the runners up were also promoted in two of the seasons. The regulation on which of the runners-up of the four Regionalligas went up meant that promotion was allocated in an alternating way. After 1995, it gave the runners-up a chance to gain promotion too via a play-off.


Regionalliga West/Südwest

In its final season (2000), Regionalliagas were reduced from four to two. With the exception of the Sportfreunde Siegen, clubs from Nordrhein-Westfalen went to the Regionalliga Nord. The clubs from Rheinland-Pfalz and Saarland went to the Regionalliga Süd.

In 2008, the number of Regionalligas will be expanded from two to three and there will be a new Regionalliga West which will cover exactly the area the old Regionalliga West/Südwest did, but will then be the fourth tier of German football.

Disbanding of the Regionalliga West/Südwest

When the league was discontinued in 2000, the first two clubs in the league went to the 2. Bundesliga, clubs placed third to twelfth moved to the two remaining Regionalligas, seven to the north and three to the south. The other eight league teams were relegated down to the Oberligas.

To the Regionalliga Nord:

  * SG Wattenscheid 09
  * Fortuna Düsseldorf
  * Rot-Weiß Essen
  * SC Preußen Münster
  * SC Verl
  * Borussia Dortmund II
  * KFC Uerdingen 05

To the Regionalliga Süd:

  * Sportfreunde Siegen
  * SV Eintracht Trier 05
  * SV Elversberg

The Sportfreunde Siegen were the oddity in this distribution, being from the state of Nordrhein-Westfalen which had all its clubs in the northern group except the Sportfreunde. The reason for this was that Siegen is in the far south of the state.

Winners and runners-up of the Regionalliga West/Südwest

Season     Winner               Runner-Up
1994–95    Arminia Bielefeld    SC Verl
1995–96    FC Gütersloh         Rot-Weiß Essen

Phragmatopoma californica

Phragmatopoma californica, commonly known as the sandcastle worm, the honeycomb wormhoneycomb tube worm,polychaete worm belonging to the family Sabellarididae. It is dark brown in color with a crown of lavender tentacles and has a length of up to about 7.5 centimeters (3.0 in).Californian coast, from Sonoma County to northern Baja California.

Sandcastle worms live in colonies, building tube reefs somewhat similar to sandcastles (hence the name), which are often seen on rocky beaches at medium and low tide. The sandcastles, which have a honeycomb-like outward appearance, can cover an area of up to 2 meters (6.6 ft) on a side.mussel beds and are found in any place that provides some shelter, such as rock faces, overhanging ledges and concave shorelines.

The worms remain in their tubes and are almost never seen. At low tide, when above the water, they close the entrance to their tubes with a shield-like operculum made of dark setae. When submerged, they extend their tentacles out of the tube to catch food particles and sand grains. The grains are sorted, with the best ones used to keep the tube in repair,gregarious settlement of larvae, which require contact with an existing colony to metamorphose into adult worms.

Sandcastle worms should not be confused with the similar, but more northern Sabellaria cementarium which are found from Alaska to southern California and have an amber-colored operculum.P. californica, S. cementarium rarely forms colonies, does not settle gregariously, and its larvae do not respond to free fatty acids.

Underwater glue

In 2004, researchers from the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) discovered that the glue used by the Phragmatopoma worm to build its protecting tube was made of specific proteins with opposite charges.polyphenolic proteinsbioadhesives.University of Utah researchers reported in 2009 that they succeeded in duplicating the glue that the worms secrete and use to stick sand grains together underwater.picoliters, requiring 50 million to fill a teaspoon.

They believe the glue to have applications as a biocompatible medical adhesive, for instance to repair shattered bones.coacervates,corneal incisions.

Obstacles include ensuring that the bond is to the substrate rather than the surface layer of the water. Another is that in order to cure, glues need to dry out. Most either do not cure underwater or set too quickly.

The proteins that are the basis of its adhesive contain side chains of phosphate and amine groups, which are well-known adhesion promoters which probably helps wet the surface. The glue has two parts, with different proteins and side groups in each. The two are made separately in a gland, like an epoxy, and mix as they are secreted.shoe leather.

Existing medical superglues are highly immunogenic. Initial experiments with the new synthetic on animals show no immune response. But inside the body, the glue needs to eventually degrade, ideally at roughly the same rate as the bone or tissue regrows. Degradable versions therefore include proteins that are broken down by specialized cells.

Other species that produce underwater glues include certain species of mussels, oysters, barnacles and caddisfly larvae.

Theatre Arlington is a live theatre in Arlington, Texas. It was established in 1973. The once small theatre has since become a large 199 seat building.

Theatre Arlington then moved on from its old establishment to its new beginning on Main Street in the center of downtown in 1991. On New Year's Eve 1991, the new theater which had 199-seats opened with a successful play named "Pump Boys and Dinettes". The theater operated for the next three years.

Two Renovations

A second phase of renovation, then added:

1. A better lobby.

2. 199-seat theater.

3. A Box office,

4. Dressing rooms and prop rooms. And even more

In August 2000, Theatre Arlington was donated a 7,500-square-foot (700 m2) building, across the street from it, to use for the expansion of their educational programs. The Theatre Arlington Education Center houses the theatre's administrative offices, rehearsal hall and downstairs box office.

A third renovation installment was completed in 2004.

True Norwegian Black Metal (film series)

True Norwegian Black Metal is a 2007 5-part documentary film produced by VBS/Vice Magazine. The documentary mainly covers some aspects of the life of black metal vocalist Gaahl, renowned for his work with Gorgoroth.

Synopsis

The film featured metal vocalist Gaahl (seen in 2009)

The documentary mainly covers some aspects of the life of black metal vocalist Gaahl, renowned for his work with Gorgoroth and Trelldom.

Production

It was produced by Peter Beste for Vice. Principal photography took place in January 2007 over a ten-day period in various parts of Norway including Bergen, Oslo, Espedal, and Dale. The documentary is hosted by Vice-Scandinavia correspondent Ivar Berglin who also served as translator.

During production in January 2007, it was reported that Gaahl was under investigation by Norwegian Police for his comments in Metal: A Headbanger's Journey (2005), which had been broadcast on Norway's Lydverket NRK 1 on January 24, 2007, where he said 'church burnings are things that I support one-hundred percent, and they should have been done much more and will be done much more in the future'.

Reception

In April 2007, the five-part series entitled True Norwegian Black Metal aired on VBS.tv.

Accuracy

The documentary was criticized by Rock'nBalls for misreporting information, as well as introducing the misconception that Gaahl spends most of his time in seclusion, when in actuality he lived in a flat in Bergen, often socializing in bars.

Prioria balsamifera

Prioria balsamifera, the agba or tola, is a tall forest tree in the family Fabaceae. It is native to lowland tropical rainforest in west Africa, from Nigeria southwards to the Congo basin in Angola, Cameroon, Republic of the Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, scattered or in local pockets, favouring deep soil and plenty of moisture. It is threatened by habitat loss and over-cutting for timber.

It is a large to very large tree growing to 60 m tall, with a trunk 70–180 cm diameter with resinous bark. The leaves are pinnate, with 6–10 alternately-arranged leaflets 4–9 cm long and 2–4 cm broad. The flowers are small, with four (rarely five) white sepals 2 mm long and no petals; they are produced in panicles. The pod is 10–14 cm long and 3.5–4.5 cm broad, superficially resembling a maple samara with a single 2–3 cm seed at one end, with the rest of the pod modified into a wing. It has a high spruce gum content.

Other names for this tree are achi, egba, emongi (Nigeria), tola blanc (Congo-Brazzaville), tola branca (Angola), N'Tola (Zaire).

The United International Bureaux for the Protection of Intellectual Property (BIRPI) was an international organization. It was set up in 1893 to administer the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works and the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property. The BIRPI is the predecessor of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).

BIRPI is an acronym for Bureaux Internationaux Réunis pour la Protection de la Propriété Intellectuelle (French for "United International Bureaux for the Protection of Intellectual Property").

History

1883 - Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property

In 1873, a pressing issue became evident for creators, in that they feared that others would steal their ideas since there was no way to regulate such things. Many exhibitors chose not to attend the International Exhibition of Inventions in Vienna, Austria that year. In 1883, the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property came about to address this issue, and became the first step in intellectual property protection.

1886 - Berne Convention

There were still some gaps in protection after the Paris Convention, so in 1886, there was the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works. This meant that creative works, such as music, books, and paintings, were also given protections.

1893 - BIRPI established

In 1893, the International Bureau established by the Paris Convention and the International Bureau established by Berne Convention, both to carry out administrative tasks, merged to form the BIRPI.

1960 - Move

Originally based in Bern, Switzerland, the BIRPI moved to Geneva in 1960.

1970 - Name Change Convention

The BIRPI changed to the WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization). The Convention changed the name, while also making it an intergovernmental organization which is led by member-states.

Beyond

The last director of the BIRPI was Georg Bodenhausen.


Specht module

In mathematics, a Specht module is one of the representations of symmetric groups studied by Wilhelm Specht (1935). They are indexed by partitions, and in characteristic 0 the Specht modules of partitions of n form a complete set of irreducible representations of the symmetric group on n points.

Definition

Fix a partition λ of n and a commutative ring k. The partition determines a Young diagram with n boxes. A Young tableau of shape λ is a way of labelling the boxes of this Young diagram by distinct numbers [1,\dots ,n].

A tabloid is an equivalence class of Young tableaux where two labellings are equivalent if one is obtained from the other by permuting the entries of each row. For each Young tableau T of shape λ let [\{T\}] be the corresponding tabloid. The symmetric group on n points acts on the set of Young tableaux of shape λ. Consequently, it acts on tabloids, and on the free k-module V with the tabloids as basis.

Given a Young tableau T of shape λ, let

[E_{T}=\sum _{\sigma \in Q_{T}}\epsilon (\sigma )\{\sigma (T)\}\in V]

where QT is the subgroup of permutations, preserving (as sets) all columns of T and [\epsilon (\sigma )] is the sign of the permutation σ. The Specht module of the partition λ is the module generated by the elements ET as T runs through all tableaux of shape λ.

The Specht module has a basis of elements ET for T a standard Young tableau.

A gentle introduction to the construction of the Specht module may be found in Section 1 of "Specht Polytopes and Specht Matroids".

Structure

The dimension of the Specht module [V_{\lambda }] is the number of standard Young tableaux of shape [\lambda ]. It is given by the hook length formula.

Over fields of characteristic 0 the Specht modules are irreducible, and form a complete set of irreducible representations of the symmetric group.


Specht module

A partition is called p-regular (for a prime number p) if it does not have p parts of the same (positive) size. Over fields of characteristic p>0 the Specht modules can be reducible. For p-regular partitions they have a unique irreducible quotient, and these irreducible quotients form a complete set of irreducible representations.

Trupanea okinawaensis

Trupanea okinawaensis is a species of tephritid or fruit flies in the genus Trupanea of the family Tephritidae.

Distribution

Japan.


Tirana–Elbasan Highway

The Tirana–Elbasan Highway is a four-lane highway in central Albania and part of the A3 motorway opened to traffic on 16 June 2013, and completed in the summer of 2019. It covers the distance between the cities of Tirana and Elbasan in the shortest way possible and its total length is 16 kilometres (9.9 mi).

Financing

Krraba Tunnel

$223M from the Islamic Bank for Reconstruction has partly financed the road construction.

Characteristics and Krrabë tunnel

The most important section consists of the Krrabe Tunnel, whose length is about 4.9 km.Sali Berisha on Sunday June 16, 2013. The highway was built without proper geological study resulting in the collapse of a hill section near Ibe. As a result, the completion of the highway was only finalized in the summer of 2019.

As of August 2016, the Tirane - TEG and Krrabe Tunnel - Elbasan segments were fully functional. The Mullet - Ibe segment was only functional on one side of the highway while the TEG - Mullet and Ibe - Krrabe Tunnel segments were until summer 2019 under construction. Also, due to safety concerns, the Krrabe Tunnel was only opened to traffic to flow on one lane per direction.


Many Peaks, Queensland

This article is about the town in Queensland, Australia. For the town in Western Australia, see Manypeaks, Western Australia.

Many Peaks is a town in Gladstone Region in Queensland, Australia. It is one of four small townships within the locality of Boyne Valley along with Nagoorin, Builyan and Ubobo.

History

Gureng Gureng (also known as Gooreng Gooreng, Goreng Goreng, Goeng, Gurang, Goorang Goorang, Korenggoreng) is an Australian Aboriginal language spoken by the Gureng Gureng people. The Gooreng Gooreng language region includes the towns of Bundaberg, Gin Gin and Miriam Vale extending south towards Childers, inland to Monto and Mt Perry.

The township was briefly called Nanandu, but the name was changed back to Many Peaks in July 1909 to avoid being confused with the town of Nanango.

Nanandu Post Office opened by August 1907, was renamed Many Peaks in July 1909 and closed in 1977.

Students and teacher, Many Peaks State School, around the time of its opening

Nanandu Provisional School opened in March 1909. On 1 April 1909, it was renamed Many Peaks State School. It closed in 1973. 24°32′41″S 151°22′22″E / 24.5446°S 151.3727°E).

Three shops were destroyed by fire in Many Peaks in January 1916 with the Theatre Grand, a large building, also damaged due to a lack of an available fire brigade or sufficient water to fight the blaze.

Nicholas Gianis Veneris (Nicholas Hellen) purchased a property with an established café and fruit orchard in Many Peaks in 1915-1916 and in time he was to become one of the first Greek immigrants to serve as a Councillor for the Calliope Shire Council.


Many Peaks, Queensland

Many Peaks Railway Camp Provisional School opened on 23 Oct 1922 as part of the railway construction camp (57 Mile Camp) for the Gladstone to Monto railway line. In 1923, it was relocated south to the 63 Mile Camp. In 1926, it moved south to 67 Mile Camp and was renamed Barrimoon Provisional School (Barrimoon being the name of the railway station there). In 1927, it moved again to 74 Mile Camp and its name was changed in 1928 to Kalpowar Provisional School. In 1929, it moved to 82 Mile Camp and in September 1930 it was renamed Bancroft Provisional School. On 1 August 1931, it became Bancroft State School and remained there permanently until its closure on 31 December 1998.

Heritage listings

Many Peaks has a number of heritage-listed sites, including:

  * off Many Peaks Road: Glassford Creek Smelter Sites
  * The Builyan Cemetery (formerly the Many Peaks Cemetery) is on the Gladstone Regional Council's Local Heritage Register.4 acres (1.6 ha) at Many Peaks was proclaimed a cemetery reserve in 1910.
  * The Grand Hotel was opened in 1909 and was one of five hotels in the town. The hotel was originally the Railway Hotel, which was located close to the Gladstone railway station. It was dismantled in 1907 and every item was carefully numbered and then transported to Many Peaks, where it was rebuilt. . The Many Peaks Roll of Honour, honouring town residents who died fighting in World War I, was also located in the dining room.
  * The Many Peaks Railway Complex.
  * Many Peaks Railway Dam.
  * Many Peaks Road Bridge.

Education

There are no schools in Many Peaks. However, there are three primary schools at the other Boyne Valley township with the nearest being Builyan.

There are no secondary schools in Boyne Valley. The nearest is Miriam Vale State School in Miriam Vale which offers secondary schooling to Year 10. For Years 11 and 12, the nearest schools are Gladstone State High School in West Gladstone, Rosedale State School in Rosedale and Monto State High School in Monto.

Attractions

The Dawes Range Tunnel section of the Boyne Burnett Inland Rail Trail was opened on 11th September 2021. The 26.28-kilometre (16.33 mi) section starts at Barrimoon Siding, Kalpowar and finishes at Builyan, Boyne Valley.


Many Peaks, Queensland

While not on the rail trail, the Heritage listed Many Peaks Railway Dam is accessed by getting on to the (very low traffic) bitumen road at Many Peaks and riding back less than a kilometre. There is a new shelter shed, history information signage, toilet block and elevated lookout over the old weir. There is no drinking water available.

The Serpentine Offering

"The Serpentine Offering" is a single by Dimmu Borgir from their 2007 album In Sorte Diaboli. The European version of the single features an instrumental version of "The Serpentine Offering" and the North American version, instead, features an instrumental version of "The Heretic Hammer".

Music video

The video for "The Serpentine Offering" was directed by Patric Ullaeus.

On beginning of the music video, the following lines appear:

What you believe to be true is false What you thought right, wrong

The music video begins with Christian crusaders (Teutonic Knights) raiding a Lithuanian village and slaughtering innocent people. Here, a priest's assistant is shown to dislike killing people just because of faith. When crusaders find a woman, who had just given birth, hiding in the barn and set it afire to incinerate her, the priest's assistant leaves to the forest where he pulls off and throws to the ground the Christian cross he was wearing, symbolizing his rejection of Christianity. Later a group of Lithuanians are shown in a cave in the forest, and later around a fire. In the end of the video they attack and win the battle against the Christian crusaders.

In the end of the music video following lines appear:

The battle will never end In Sorte Diaboli - Antichristus Spiritualis

List of Saskatchewan provincial forests

In Saskatchewan, Provincial Forests are designated as such by the Lieutenant Governor in Council, as per The Forest Resources Management Act.

In 1930, the Saskatchewan Natural Resources Act gave the province control over forest resources within its boundaries. Before 1930, forests in Saskatchewan were under federal control, and many of the Provincial Forests listed below were classified as National Forests under the Dominion Forest Reserves Act.

Official List

The official list of Saskatchewan Provincial Forests can be found in The Forest Resources Management Regulations:

  * Canwood Provincial Forest
  * Fort à la Corne Provincial Forest
  * Nisbet Provincial Forest
  * Northern Provincial Forest
  * Porcupine Provincial Forest
  * Torch River Provincial Forest

Northern Provincial Forest

From a legal perspective, all of the contiguous forestland in Northern Saskatchewan is one forest. In other contexts, several distinct forests are identified.

  * Pasquia Provincial Forest
  * Suggi Lowlands Provincial Forest

Other Forests with Provincial Protection

The two laws in Saskatchewan that protect forestland are the Forest Resources Management Act and the Parks Act. The Forest Resources Management Act and Regulations are written so that the Parks Act is applicable whenever land area is defined in both laws. The Parks Act provides stronger protections for forests than the Forest Resources Management Act. For example, in provincial parks, no trees can be cut without a permit, whereas in provincial forests, individuals can harvest Christmas trees and collect dead and fallen trees for fuelwood.

The forests of the Cypress Hills and Moose Mountain are protected by the Parks Act, and are therefore provincially-protected, but the forests are not officially provincial forests.

Duck Mountain Provincial Forest is also protected in Saskatchewan by the Parks Act, and the Manitoba portion is classified as a provincial forest in that province.

Bronson Forest, located between Paradise Hill and Pierceland, is not protected under the Forest Resources Management Act or the Parks Act, but the Protection of the Wild Ponies of the Bronson Forest Act prohibits any activities in the Bronson Forest that could negatively impact the wild horses.

Verville-Sperry R-3

The Verville-Sperry R-3 was a cantilever wing racing monoplane with a streamlined fuselage and the second aircraft with fully retractable landing gear, the first being the Dayton-Wright RB-1.Popular Mechanics magazine.Pulitzer Trophy in Dayton, OH.

Design and development

The R-3 was designed by Alfred Verville. Its first production was in 1922. The R-3 was developed by the McCook Field Engineering Division and manufactured by the Lawrence Sperry Aircraft Company of Farmingdale, New York. Three aircraft were purchased. The airplanes used cylindrical, finned Lamblin radiators and a 300 hp (224 kW) Wright H-3 engine. The R-3s bore Air Service serial numbers 22-326 to 22-328.

Operational history

At the 1922 Pulitzer Trophy race, all three R-3's started in the race, but only two finished. Lieutenant Eugene Barksdale finished fifth at around 181 mph (291 km/h). Lieutenant Fonda B. Johnson finished seventh, his engine freezing after landing. And Lieutenant St. Clair Streett broke an oil line and had a forced landing, damaging his airplane.

For the 1923 Pulitzer, a Curtiss D-12 engine was installed in the plane which eliminated some vibration problems that the H-3 engine had. With the new engine the top speed now was approaching 233 mph (375 km/h). That year a Curtiss biplane was the winner. With Orville Wright officially observing from the ground, Lieutenant Alexander Pearson, Jr. flying an R-3 set a 500 km World Speed Record of 167.74 mph (269.95 km/h) over a 10-lap course on March 31, 1923 at Wilbur Wright Field.

For the 1924 Pulitzer, the R-3, piloted by Lieutenant Harry H. Mills, won the race at a slow 215 mph (346 km/h). The ranked entry–a Curtiss biplane–crashed along the course.

After this race, the R-3 racers were sent to the McCook Field Museum.

Tirano–Lecco railway

The Tirano–Lecco railway is an electrified railway line in Lombardy, Italy.

The first section of the line, between Sondrio and Colico, was opened in 1885. It was completed in 1892–1894 with the section from Colico to Lecco, where it was connected with the rest of the Italian network.

It is single track other than at main stations which have passing loops.

The section from Tirano to Sondrio had a different origin, being opened in 1902 as a private railway by the Società Anonima per le Ferrovie dell'Alta Valtellina (FAV). It was integrated in the state network in 1970.

The Service of the Sword

The Service of the Sword, published in 2003, was the fourth anthology of stories set in the Honor Harrington universe or Honorverse. The stories in the anthologies serve to introduce characters, provide deeper more complete backstory and flesh out the universe, so claim the same canonical relevance as exposition in the main series. David Weber, author of the mainline Honor Harrington series, serves as editor for the anthologies, maintaining fidelity to the series canons.

The book contains the following stories:


The Service of the Sword

"Promised Land" by Jane Lindskold Michael Winton, brother of Queen Elizabeth III and Crown Prince of Manticore, embarks on his "snotty" cruise following his studies at Saganami Naval Academy. Determined to prove that he can be more than the Heir to the Throne, Michael requests to be assigned to a ship on patrol deployment instead of a "safe" posting in the Manticoran home system. He is assigned to the light cruiser Intransigent, which is sent to the planet Masada on a diplomatic mission. Meanwhile, Judith, a young Grayson girl captured by Masadan privateers and forced to


The Service of the Sword

and forced to marry their leader, becomes the greatest hope of a secret sisterhood of Masadan women who are plotting their escape from the religious fanatics of their world. With One Stone by Timothy Zahn The People's Republic of Haven tests a secret weapon. Bad news for them: their intended victim turns out to be Honor Harrington. Good news for Manticore: Honor's solution to the problem gives them a secret weapon of their own. "A Ship Named Francis" by John Ringo and Victor Mitchell Sean Tyler, a corpsman in the Royal Manticoran Navy, thought that a stint as


The Service of the Sword

a stint as a loaner in the explosively-growing Grayson Space Navy would boost his career. So, when there was a slot vacant on board the cruiser Francis Mueller, his wish was granted. Unfortunately for Corpsman Tyler, no one told him that almost everybody on board the Francis—from the clueless captain to the psychotic XO and the panicky chaplain—had been sent there because no one else in the entire Grayson Space Navy wants them. "Let's Go to Prague" by John Ringo A pair of Manticoran special forces operatives discover that a holiday can be even more fun if it


The Service of the Sword

fun if it involves spoiling StateSec's day. Fanatic by Eric Flint When the senior People's Commissioner assigned to a backwater sector of the People's Republic of Haven is found murdered, Oscar Saint-Just, now the dictator of Haven, sends a young and idealistic StateSec officer by the name of Victor Cachat to investigate. Confronting and terrorizing both Navy and StateSec personnel with his ruthlessness, Cachat orders broad reorganizations in the sector's military and security forces which may have more than "cleaning the house" in mind. But Cachat may be the right man in the right place


The Service of the Sword

the right place at the right time when news of Saint-Just's overthrow reach his sector. Background for Crown of Slaves. The Service of the Sword by David Weber Abigail Hearns, the daughter of a prominent Grayson Steadholder, has grown up idolizing Honor Harrington ever since she witnessed her defense of Abigail's homeworld from the Masadans. Out of sheer determination, she attended Saganami Naval Academy to become the first Grayson midshipwoman. She is sent for her "snotty" cruise on board the heavy cruiser HMS Gauntlet, commanded by an irritating Manticoran nobleman who may be more than what


The Service of the Sword

more than what he seems. But when Gauntlet is sent to investigate the disappearance of several ships in a backwater region of space, Abigail discovers that the Peeps are definitely not the only bad guys out there: background for The Shadow of Saganami.
