The 2017 ICC Rules enter into force on 1 March 2017
The International Chamber of Commerce ("ICC") has revised its arbitration rules with the aim to further increase the efficiency and transparency of ICC arbitrations. The revised rules will enter into force on 1 March 2017. The key changes are described herein.

ICC is the world's leading arbitration institute, illustrated by its 966 new cases in 2016 involving parties from 137 states. Last autumn ICC approved a revision of its 2012 arbitration rules, which will enter into force on 1 March 2017. The revised rules will apply to arbitration proceedings that commence after 1 March 2017, irrespective of the date of the arbitration agreement or when the contract containing the arbitration clause in question was concluded, ref. art. 6 (1) of the revised rules.
As further described below, the key changes are as follows:
New provisions for expedited proceedings,
Reduction of the time limit for issuing the Terms of Reference,
Allowing ICC to disclose to parties its reasons for decisions on appointment, confirmation, challenge or replacement of arbitrators,
The procedural timetable and the Terms of Reference no longer need to be finalised before the tribunal can proceed to address the claims and counterclaims for which costs have been advanced
In addition to a detailed presentation of the new provisions for expedited proceedings and a presentation of these other key changes, the amended cost scales that became effective on 1 January 2017 will be presented.
As several leading arbitration institutions have revised its rules since last summer, this might be a good opportunity to revisit your default company's arbitration clauses. We would be more than happy to assist and discuss this with you. Contact person is Mikal Brøndmo.
New provisions for expedited proceedings
The most pivotal change in the revised ICC rules is the new provisions for expedited proceedings in a new art. 30 and a new appendix VI with its Expedited Procedure Rules. By introducing expedited procedure, the ICC has followed a number of other leading institutions that have introduced expedited procedures. Pursuant to art. 30 (2) a) and appendix VI art. 1 (2), the Expedited Procedure Rules shall apply if the amount in dispute does not exceed USD 2 million. According to ICC art. 30 (2) b), the parties may also agree that the Expedited Procedure Rules shall apply if the amount in dispute exceeds USD 2 million.
However, the Expedited Procedure Rules shall not apply if the arbitration agreement was concluded before 1 March 2017, ref. art. 30 (3) a), or if the parties have agreed to opt out of the Expedited Procedure Rules, ref. art. 30 (3) b), or if the Court so determines, ref. art. 30 (3) c). Consequently, the parties should give particular attention to the drafting of ICC clauses in agreements concluded after 1 March 2017, and consider whether or not to expressly opt out of the Expedited Procedure Rules.
Pursuant to appendix VI art. 2 (1), the Court may appoint a sole arbitrator even if the parties have agreed otherwise in their arbitration agreement. Based on information given from the ICC, we have reason to believe that the Court will normally do so when the Expedited Procedure Rules apply. Outside the scope of the Expedited Procedure Rules, the parties' agreement prevails, ref. art. 11 (6). Thus, this constitutes an important change.
The Terms of Reference is a distinctive feature of ICC arbitration. However, pursuant to appendix VI art. 3 (1), art. 23 regarding the Terms of Reference, shall not apply for expedited proceedings.
In order to ensure efficiency, the tribunal has broad discretion to adopt procedural measures it considers appropriate, ref. appendix VI art. 3 (4). It explicitly mentions that the tribunal may, after consultation with the parties, decide to limit the number, length and scope of written submissions or witness evidence. Furthermore, new claims cannot be made after the arbitral tribunal has been constituted, unless it has been authorized to do so by the arbitral tribunal, ref. art. 3 (2). And the case management conference shall normally take place within 15 days after the date on which the file was transmitted to the arbitral tribunal, ref. art. 3 (3). Finally, the tribunal may decide the dispute solely on the basis of documents, ref. art. 3 (5).
The time limit for rendering the final award is within six months from the date of the case management conference, ref. art. 4 (1), which allows for extension of time from the Court. In accordance with art. 4 (2), the fees of the arbitral tribunal shall be fixed according to a separate scale for the expedite procedure set out in appendix III, where ICC's administrative expenses are maintained while the arbitrators' fee range is reduced by 20 %.
Reduction of the time limit for issuing the Terms of Reference
The time limit for issuing the Terms of Reference is reduced from two months to 30 days from when the file was transmitted to the tribunal, ref. art. 23 (2). The Terms of Reference provides a framework for the arbitration by summarizing the merits of the dispute and setting out the arbitration's procedural parameters in one document.
Allowing ICC to disclose to parties its reasons for decisions on appointment, confirmation, challenge or replacement of arbitrators
In order to increase transparency, the revised art. 11 (4) does no longer prevent the Court from communicating the reasons for its decisions as to appointment, confirmation, challenge or replacement of an arbitrator. According to ICC's press release regarding the changes, it was underlined that any party will now be in a position to ask the ICC Court to provide reasons for its decisions.
The Terms of Reference and the procedural timetable no longer need to be finalised before the tribunal can proceed to address the claims and counterclaims for which costs have been advanced
Furthermore, appendix III art. 1 (3) has been revised to enhance efficiency. In the revised 2017-rules, the Terms of Reference no longer need to be signed and approved by the Court and the procedural timetable no longer need to be established, before the tribunal can proceed to address the claims and counterclaims for which costs have been advanced.
The amended cost scales became effective on 1 January 2017
In addition to the above described changes to the ICC rules, we would like to call your attention to certain amendments to the cost scales which came into effect on 1 January 2017. Pursuant to appendix III art. 4 (1), the amended cost scales will be applicable to arbitration proceedings commenced on or after 1 January 2017, irrespective of the version of the Rules applying to such arbitrations.
The key amendments to the cost scale relates to filing fees and administration expenses. With regard to the filing fee, this has been increased from USD 3,000 to USD 5,000. As for the administrative expenses, changes have been made to the percentages applicable to the lower and the top tranches of the amount in dispute. For disputes with a disputed amount below USD 200,000, the percentages have been reduced, while the percentages have increased for disputes in the range of USD 200,000 and USD 2,000,000, and for disputes with a disputed amount above of USD 500 million. The maximum amount for administrative expenses has been raised to USD 150,000.
No changes have been made to the scale of arbitrator's fees.
As mentioned above, proceedings conducted under ICC's new Expedited Procedure Rules will be subject to separate cost scales set forth in Appendix III of the ICC Arbitration Rules which will enter into force on 1 March 2017.

The latest Partypoker Powerfest Championship has wrapped up with Finnish high stakes pro Sami Kelopuro taking down the $5,200 main event.
Following 15 days of online action that saw almost $70 million in prize money paid out, the 2018 Powerfest came to a dramatic conclusion in the early hours of September 24. With 327 players joining the mix, the $1 million guarantee was surpassed by a healthy $635,000, the eventual winner was set to take home more than $300,000.
As the chips started to fly, Kelopuro was by far the most recognizable player and he used his reputation to good effect. By the time only A3PTEH stood in the Finn's way, many expected a deal to take place.
With almost $100,000 between first and second, even the best players like to cut a deal in the final throes of an MTT. However, with $3.8 million in online tournament winnings and just as much in cash game takings, Kelopuro was content to play for all the marbles.
That confidence paid off as the veteran pro managed to make light work of A3PTEH to take down his 15th MTT title and earn his second biggest online payday.
Beyond the main event, the 2018 Partypoker Powerfest saw thousands of players take part in 670 tournaments with buy-ins ranging from $1.10 to $25,500. Although the $69 million prizepool couldn't quite match the recent PokerStars Spring Championship of Online Poker's (SCOOP) $110 million+ giveaway, it's a marked improvement on recent years.
In fact, since launching Powerfest in February 2016, Partypoker has upped its guarantees by more than $50 million. This added value has helped make the online series a credible challenge to the 16-year-old SCOOP.
For players, the recent rise of Partypoker's Powerfest is another example of how competition is good for the community. Partypoker has worked to revamp its online package over the last two years through a combination of tournaments, new signings and site improvements.
The latest Powerfest is a testament to this and example of how players can now have more viable options outside of PokerStars.


Ty Mawr is one of six treehouses available to our guests on this site. Please be aware that pressing "Book" reserves one of these six properties, and means that you will be allocated one of these equally beautiful treehouses based on availability and suitability. This is so that we can make sure that your family has a stay that's out of this world!
Ty Mawr is a uniquely crafted, rustic treehouse escape in North Wales for a couple, or two adults and up to three children. The relaxing atmosphere can be fully appreciated from this natural structure, as the sights, sounds and smells of this woodland setting can be soaked up from your very own 'living' room. Watch buzzards overhead and squirrels leaping from branch to branch from the rounded windows of your holiday nest. Watch the dappled sunlight twinkle through the swaying leaves as you relax in a tree hammock. Revel in the intoxicating smell of wildflowers and the sound of the nearby rippling stream dancing its way through the valley. This treehouse experience in the heart of rural Mid Wales is a real break from the hustle of modern living, allowing for a mindful break for couples and families.
Situated at the base of some of Wales' most popular hiking and climbing mountains at nearby Snowdonia National Park, you don't have to bring your hiking boots to have fun here. Around a half hour drive west is the Red Ridge Centre, where you and your group can try your hand at archery, abseiling, kayaking, paddle boarding and zip wiring, to name but a few of the outdoor pursuits on offer. For a less physically taxing day, why not head over to Corris Craft centre to visit award-winning Dyfi Distillery, or to Y Tabernacle in Machynlleth, to Wales' Museum of Modern Art to experience a different kind of beauty, before heading back to the artistry of the treehouse and its stunning surrounding.

Here's a few helpful reminders and information about the property (and general location) that should help you decide whether Ty Mawr is right for you.
Fully equipped kitchen with gas hob and woodburning stove.
Swedish composting toilet next to treehouse. Spring water shower.
This property is off-grid. Heating is by wood-burning stove, and lighting is lanterns and candles. The treehouses are insulated and cosy all year round.
Parking is across the field, there will be someone there to meet you when you arrive to help with bags and to show you the way.
Bryn Meurig Bach is one of six treehouses available to our guests on this site.
Nestled on the slopes of the gorgeous Dyfi Valley, with panoramic views across flourishing woodland and the river estuary, sits the stylish and elegant wood-cabin; Little Kestrel.


Lenders understand the woes of the mortgage industry? Yeah right, say brokers.
Australia's largest customer-owned financial institution has increased its total value of new loans settled to over $1bn, show its latest half year results.
An independent reviewer has found the Financial Ombudsman Service is inefficient and causes undue delays when resolving disputes.
A recruiter specialising in placing brokers has noticed a significant amount of 'new blood' coming into the mortgage industry – and it'll likely keep the industry on its toes.
One non-bank lender is staying competitive by offering brokers a choice in income options. Does a higher upfront, lower trail suit you best or the other way round?

Q: python3 3d array class as list I'm taking a class through OReilly Technical School, and the assignment is to adapt a 2-d array class with a list implementation into a 3-d array class.
Here's my adaptation:

import array as sys_array

class array:

def __init__(self, M, N, O):
    "Create 3-D array of lists stuffed with zeroes"
    self._data = sys_array.array("i", [0] * M * N * O)
    self._rows = M
    self._cols = N
    self._depth = O

def __getitem__(self, key):
    "returns the appropriate element for a three-element tuple subscript tuple."
    row, col, depth = self._validate_key(key)
    return self._data[row*self._cols+col*self._depth+depth]

def __setitem__(self, key, value):
    "sets the appropriate element for a three-element subscript tuple."
    row, col, depth = self._validate_key(key)
    self._data[row*self._cols+col*self._depth+depth] = value

def _validate_key(self, key):
    """Validates a key against the array's shape, returning good tuples.
    Raises KeyError on problems."""
    row, col, depth = key
    if (0 <= row < self._rows and 0 <= col < self._cols and 0 <= depth < self._depth):
        return key
    raise KeyError("subscript out of range")

When I test it with the following code, I have a problem, and I suspect the getitem and setitem statements, in particular the
self._data[row*self._cols+col*self._depth+depth] indexing phrase, but I am not seeing the problem here if there is one.  Here's the test code and the problem:

if name == "main":
    for N in range(6):
        a = array(N,N,N)
        for i in range(N):
            a[i,i,i] = 1
        for i in range(N):
            for j in range(N):
                for k in range(N):
                    if i==j==k and a[i,j,k] == 1:
                        print(" \nYay! *a[{},{},{}] = 1 * ".format(i,j,k))
                    if a[i,j,k] == 1 and not i==j==k:
                        print(" \n+++ Crap!!! a[{},{},{}] = 1  +++ ".format(i,j,k))

I should not get any "Craps!" but I do.  Could anyone help me see what I'm missing?
Thanks!
Dave

A: you need to account for the _depth when caltulating the array index.
def __getitem__(self, key):
    "returns the appropriate element for a three-element tuple subscript tuple."
    row, col, depth = self._validate_key(key)
    return self._data[row*self._cols*self._depth + col*self._depth + depth]

def __setitem__(self, key, value):
    "sets the appropriate element for a three-element subscript tuple."
    print(key)
    row, col, depth = self._validate_key(key)
    self._data[row*self._cols*self._depth + col*self._depth + depth] = value

just in case: a print statement for debugging:
def __str__(self):
    '''
    '''
    ret = ''
    for row in range(self._rows):
        for col in range(self._cols):
            for depth in range(self._depth):
                print(row, col, depth)
                ret += '{} '.format(self[row, col, depth])
            ret += '\n'
        ret += '\n'
    return  ret

Bruxelles, 13/07/2018 - 10:53, UNIQUE ID: 180713_7
The Israeli decision to close the Kerem Shalom crossing point, except for humanitarian supplies, and to restrict the fishing zone for Palestinians risks further aggravating the already dire economic situation in Gaza.
The EU expects Israel to reverse these decisions.
At the same time, Hamas and other actors in Gaza must cease and refrain from violent actions and provocations against Israel, including the launching of incendiary kites and balloons with the aim to damage Israeli property and assets.
The European Union fully joins and supports current efforts by the UN and other partners to reduce tensions, upkeep intra-Palestinian reconciliation and improve the humanitarian and economic situation in Gaza. This must be the focus of all sides now.

Garden Girl has never been a fan of lettuce. When it is offered and we suggest she at least try it, we are always met with the comment that 'It's just a leaf!' and 'The stalk is too hard'. Last year not a single one of our lettuce seeds germinated, so we were unable to persuade her to try some she had grown herself. This year however, to make up for last years lack of success, I might well have got carried away and have already sown five different varieties with even more seed packets sitting in our seed box waiting to be sown.
All five of the varieties we have sown so far have germinated and the two we were growing in pots in the greenhouse were looking luscious and ready to eat as baby leaf today, so when Garden Girl asked me if anything was ready to eat yet I pointed to the lettuce and said, 'Try that'. And to my surprise she stood inside the greenhouse, happily picking and munching on baby lettuce leaves until I feared there would be none left for the rest of us. Garden Boy soon joined in, never wanting to miss out on something Garden Girl descibes as 'yummy' and 'delicious'.
Pleased with Garden Girl's new found love of lettuce we cut and washed some for dinner and started a second sowing, at Garden Girl's request. So why is that when we sat down to dinner and she was offered the salad bowl all she wanted were the tomatoes because the lettuce was 'just leaves' and the 'stalks aren't nice'?!
I think perhaps we will have to start eating dinner in the greenhouse straight from the plant pots.
Hi I'm just catching up on everyone's blogs that I follow.
LOL that sounds about right, greenhouse dinners should be fun or at the very least interesting.
My youngest is a picky eater if you give her her own way but she started eating lettuce really well last year but all other green leafy vegetables are green stuff which takes a lot of persuading to eat.
Strangely though she'll eat squash, mushrooms, avacado & tofu all without a bat of an eye and will ask for yours off of your plate, most kids won't touch these foods.

WiFi transfer plugin and standalone app (does not require TotalCommander) A pre-release version of this plugin is available now inthe store. Details here:http://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=43760 Important note: Thisapp does NOT contain any ads. However, it contains a link to TotalCommander in the upper right corner if you use a Web Browser toaccess the files, and this plugin as the server. This is treated asan ad by the Play Store. This plugin/tool supports directconnections via HTTP over WiFi/WLAN between two Android devices, orbetween Android (Server) and any device or computer with a Webbrowser or WebDAV client. It creates a local Web+WebDAV server. Theserver URL can either be scanned as a QR-Code, or entered manually.Although this is mainly a plugin for Total Commander, it can alsobe used standalone: Simply select some files in any file manager,or text, or an URL, and then use the "share" function to send it tothe WiFi plugin. This will start a server and show the URL andQR-Code for the server. Great to transfer data locally between twoAndroid devices without going through the cloud! Your data willnever leave your own wireless LAN network. Note: Both devices needto be in the same WiFi network. If the sender isn't part of a WiFinetwork, this tool will offer to create its own access point, orstart a WiFi direct connection. Other devices can then connect tothis network to transfer data. If you scan the QR-Code from a copyof the WiFi plugin, the connection will be establishedautomatically, and closed automatically when disconnecting.

I'm having some difficulty with a task I am trying to perform and I wonder if anybody can help.
I have a large number of glacier polygons and I am trying to segregate the lower portions of each glacier all at once. Approximately I want to split the bottom 30% of each glacier away from their bodies. In addition to the glacier polygons I also have a DEM of the area of interest.
I have had a chat with one of my colleagues and he thinks it may be possible by utilising a conditional statement in the raster calculator and maybe some zonal statistics. Roughly something like DEM > Min and < Min + range x 0.3. The DEM file would be a mask of the glacier polygons.
I am still a bit of a novice when it comes to constructing these statements and I wonder if anybody could help. Alternatively if you could think of any other options it would be much appreciated.

The Belfer Center, Harvard University has published a lengthy report 'Al Qaeda Weapons of Mass Destruction Threat: Hype or Reality? By Rolf Mowatt-Larssen and a Foreword by Graham Allison.
Thinking about risks we face today, we should reflect on the major conclusion of the bipartisan 9/11 Commission established to investigate that catastrophe. The U.S. national security establishment's principal failure prior to Sept. 11, 2001, was, the commission found, a "failure of imagination." Summarized in a single sentence, the question now is: Are we at risk of an equivalent failure to imagine a nuclear 9/11? After the recent attempted terrorist attack on Northwest Airlines Flight 253, this question is more urgent than ever.
The thought that terrorists could successfully explode a nuclear bomb in an American city killing hundreds of thousands of people seems incomprehensible. This essential incredulity is rooted in three deeply ingrained presumptions. First, no one could seriously intend to kill hundreds of thousands of people in a single attack. Second, only states are capable of mass destruction; nonstate actors would be unable to build or use nuclear weapons. Third, terrorists would not be able to deliver a nuclear bomb to an American city. In a nutshell, these presumptions lead to the conclusion: inconceivable.
Rolf Mowatt-Larssen is an ex-intelligence insider and combines his experience in an open source analysis.
Clearly written and takes time to absorb.

The Beatles 50 Years Ago Today: October 9, 1968
The session began with a stereo and mono mixing of"The Contin uing Story Of Bungalow Bill" and "Long, Long, Long".
Why Don't We Do It In The Road was completed the next day, when Ringo Starr recorded a drum part, and McCartney added more vocals, bass guitar and handclaps.
Studio Two, EMI Studios, London
A very productive session, with two John Lennon songs, "I'm so Tired" and "The Continuing Story Of Bungalow Bill" were started and completed. George's "Long, Long, Long" also received overdubs.
Bungalow Bill was a free-for-all with everyone in the studio shouting out the choruses. Yoko sang one line solo, the first and only female lead vocal on a Beatles recording. Maureen Starkey, Ringo's wife, was also one of the assembled chorale.
Today's session was spent recording the basic track of another new song by George, "Long, Long, Long". In what was becoming a familiar pattern with George's songs, John was not present for the session.
The earlier part of the session was spent making tape to tape copies of the Trident mono and stereo mixes for "Honey Pie" and "Marsha My Dear" and preparing mono/stereo mixes for "While My Guitar Gently Weeps".

Tony Bennett Tickets | See the Legend Live in 2019!
Go From Rags to Riches with 2019 Tony Bennett Tickets from BigStub!
With 19 Grammy Awards and more than fifty million albums sold worldwide, it's fair to call Tony Bennett a living legend — especially since he recently celebrated his 90th birthday! The musical icon is still going strong after 70 years in the entertainment business, and he'll be performing some of his favorite entries in the Great American Songbook, live at concert venues across the country. Want to experience his incredible show, live at a venue near you? Then it's a good thing you've come to BigStub, where the best Tony Bennett tickets are just a click away.
"Rags to Riches," "Stranger in Paradise," "I Left My Heart in San Francisco" — you know the timeless hits, and now you can hear them performed in concert by the living legend himself. Check the schedule below to learn more about available seating options at upcoming concerts, and get your Tony Bennett Tickets from BigStub today!
Though he left his heart in San Francisco, Tony Bennett was born and raised in New York as Anthony Benedetto. He first sang on the radio as part of the Triborough Bridge's grand opening ceremony when he was ten years old, and earned a pat on the head from Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia for his efforts. After serving in World War II, he began performing under the name Joe Bari, before a chance meeting with Pearl Bailey led to a gig opening for Bob Hope on tour; it was Hope who rechristened him Tony Bennett, a name which has since become synonymous with the Great American Songbook.
Bennett spent much of the 1950s and early '60s as one of America's top traditional pop stars, topping the charts with his debut single "Because of You" and notching additional #1 hits with "Rags to Riches" and "Cold, Cold Heart," the latter a cover of the Hank Williams tune and an early instance of the Queens native's omniverous musical taste. Ironically, by the time Bennett released "I Left My Heart in San Francisco," the Gold-certified 1961 single that would go on to become his signature song, his star was on the decline, and by the end of the decade, he'd been thoroughly supplanted on the charts by a younger generation of rock and rollers and soul stars.
But Tony never stopped working, or growing as an artist; in fact, it was during the wilderness years of the '60s and '70s that he grew from a traditional pop singer into the jazz artist he's recognized as today.
Whether you're looking to catch a legend like Tony Bennett in concert, the year's hottest musical, or the most exciting sporting event, there's only one name you have to remember: BigStub! With access to more than 10 million tickets for over 100,000 unique live entertainment events, we can help you make some unforgettable memories in 2019. Check out the information above to learn more about the 2019 Tony Bennett tour, but don't wait. If you want to snag the best Tony Bennett Tickets around, then grab yours today!

Embroidery on jackets has never been unpopular, but this season, the fabrics are suitably thicker and the patterns have become broader, with everything from tigers and dragons to cherry blossoms and other eastern-inspired visuals.
The so-called ugly sneakers trend—sometimes even referred as "dad sneakers" simply refuses to die. At the core of their popularity is a simple philosophy: channeling old vibes in a new light.

The aim of this study is introduction on microbials as an effective agent in the human body. Microbial (symbiotic microorganisms) means the general and universal ecosystem of riches, all genes and masses of micronutrients, regardless of their genera and species, are referred to in a particular section. The symbiotic microbials have a symbiotic relationship with host creatures. This means that these microbes can also be partners, both pathogens. For example, all bacteria, fungi and other types of germs that live natively in the human skin are called microbiotics. The largest microbial of the human body is the microbioum of the digestive tract and, in particular, the large intestine. This term, although used more in medicine, is also valid in other branches of microbiology. They play an important role in health and disease. And trillions of bacteria, called microbials, that make up our bodies in our societies, involve the release of chemicals in the method of digestion, the delivery of medication, and the development and development of diseases such as heart disease, metabolic disorders (metabolism), or even cancer progression.

Exclusive interview with the Product Manager of Jagged Alliance Online, Alexander Padberg
February 17, 2012 8:51 ( Interviews ) 0
Today we present this exclusive interview about the turn-based tactical action MMORPG Jagged Alliance Online with its product manager, Alexander Padberg.
Thanks for giving us the opportunity to interview you about Jagged Alliance Online.
First of all, could you introduce yourself to our readers?
Hi there, my name is Alexander Padberg. I am the product manager for Jagged Alliance Online at gamigo.
How would you describe Jagged Alliance Online to someone who has never heard about it before?
Jagged Alliance Online is a new and exciting addition to the well-known Jagged Alliance series; it's an MMOG that lets you create and manage your own company of mercenaries and send them on various missions all over the world. It brings the quality of a highly tactical turn-based boxed game to the browser by using the Unity engine.
Could you give us a sneak peek of the backstory?
The story of Jagged Alliance Online unfolds directly after the events in Jagged Alliance 2. The tutorial of the game starts with A.I.M. being attacked and you having to defeat the unknown attackers.
Could you tell us what are the main features of Jagged Alliance Online?
Jagged Alliance Online features top-notch 3D graphics based on the Unity 3D engine. There are more than 100 missions in all corners of the world and more than 40 different mercenaries with individual attributes, plus a custom merc representing the player. You can customize your mercs with hundreds of different weapons and countless equipment items and upgrade your headquarters. Jagged Alliance Online offers deep tactical gameplay with a variety of mission objectives and a sophisticated AI with different behaviors for different types of enemies. And, last but not least, you will be able to challenge other players in special PvP missions with a variety of goals using a matchmaking system and leaderboards.
Could you give us some information about the gameplay, more specifically on the tactical, the management and the social levels?
Tactical: On the tactical level, JAO provides players with the good old Jagged Alliance gameplay with a few modern tweaks. That means you get a certain amount of action points each turn to work with. The challenge is to use them as effectively as possible to achieve the objectives of the mission.
On the management level, you build up your base by upgrading different buildings, which have certain functions (workshop, hospital etc.). You hire and dismiss mercenaries, train and equip them to improve your company.
There are currently two different PvP modes for interacting with others. You can fight other players for the top spot in the rankings using a matchmaking system that pits players of equal skill level against each other.
Jagged Alliance previous versions gameplay used to be turn based. Is this going to change with the online version?
No, as I mentioned earlier, we are going to stay true to the well-proven system of the franchise.
Between how many characters or classes are we going to be able to choose? What kind of character progression will Jagged Alliance Online offer?
We've got more than 40 different mercenaries, which can be split roughly into five different archetypes like "sniper" or "heavy gunner". Each of those mercenaries has their own set of skills, though, which the player can adjust to their own liking.
Which of the mercenaries featured in previous games of Jagged Alliance will be playable?
Most of the fan favorites will be there. You will be able to hire Ivan, Shadow, Raven, Fidel, Buzz, Lynx, Steroid, to name just a few.
How many mercenaries a player will be able to control?
We currently have missions that allow up to eight mercenaries, but you will be able to hire more than that and select the exact team of professionals you need to achieve the mission's objectives. But hiring and paying for that many mercs will be a challenge.
What about character customization? Are there many ways to equip and make each player's mercenaries unique?
With the enormous amount of items in the game, you will be able to equip the mercenaries any way you want to. In addition to the items that will be available at launch, we will support the game with continual content updates, which will increase the amount of items even more.
What can you tell us about PVE and PVP? How is it going to work in Jagged Alliance Online?
The PvE in JAO is contract-based: Each contract consists of several missions that are connected by a storyline. After finishing a mission, you have the option of revisiting it at any time to try to fulfill specific achievements like finishing the mission in less than 30 turns or using only shotguns.
PvP will have two different game modes: Search + Destroy and Bounty Hunter. Those modes will present the players with different goals they have to complete in order to win the match. In Search + Destroy you will have to defend certain objects while trying to destroy the enemy's objects at the same time. In Bounty Hunter mode the goal is to get to a target person in order to take them out faster than the other player while also avoiding the target's guards.
What about the item shop? Will it be necessary to purchase items to level up in a convenient way in the game?
It won't be necessary. Most of the items in the game can be found or acquired without paying anything. Although things do get a little more convenient when you shell out a couple of bucks.
From your point of view, what makes this game more fun than others?
As a long-time fan of the franchise, you feel right at home in Jagged Alliance Online. The game captures all the things that made the franchise such a hit with the fans, like the tactically challenging turn-based combat or the tongue-in-cheek humor, and combines them with great graphics, improved accessibility and a modern interface. You get to take all of your favorite mercenaries back to the combat and pit them against a sophisticated AI that is powered by special AI servers to provide you with a worthy opponent instead of just cannon fodder. And let's not forget the environments in the game, which are totally amazing. The maps for the missions have been created with an absolutely stunning attention to detail.
In what languages are you planning to launch Jagged Alliance Online and do you already have an approximative date to communicate for the open beta or the official release?
Open beta will start really soon, even sooner than some of you might think. Official release is currently planned for the first quarter of 2012. We will launch the game in English and German, other languages are going to follow in the future. Of course we invite players from all over the world into the German and English versions.
Would you like to add something?
It's a great pleasure to work with our extremely talented developers at Cliffhanger Productions, who are doing great things with the Jagged Alliance IP. I would also like to thank all our beta testers for their great feedback and their enthusiasm. Thanks to you. Without your help, we wouldn't be able to do the things we do and we hope you like the game when it is released.

News & Videos New law gives GA reason to be thankful
New law gives GA reason to be thankfulNew law gives GA reason to be thankful
November 27, 2013 By Elizabeth A Tennyson
Just as many were headed out of Washington, D.C., to begin the Thanksgiving holiday, the general aviation community found one more reason to be thankful as the long-awaited Small Airplane Revitalization Act (SARA) was signed into law Nov. 27.
The measure sets a Dec. 31, 2015, deadline for the FAA to reform and streamline Part 23 of the federal aviation regulations, which governs the certification of many new general aviation aircraft as well as affecting how modifications are made to older airplanes. The planned changes to Part 23 were designed to create "twice the safety at half the cost," making it more affordable to make safety improvements to the existing fleet while reducing the cost of bringing innovative new designs to market.
"The passage of the Small Airplane Revitalization Act is great news for the general aviation community," said AOPA President Mark Baker. "Reforming the way FAA certifies aircraft can help more pilots fly more safely while lowering their costs—and that's exactly the kind of support general aviation needs to thrive. We're appreciative of efforts of the House and Senate GA Caucus members who developed this bill and came together to see it through at a time when very few bills have had the bipartisan support needed to become law."
SARA was introduced in the House of Representatives in May and passed in July by a 410-0 vote. It was introduced by House GA Caucus member Rep. Mike Pompeo (R-Kan.). Original co-sponsors included House GA Caucus co-chair Sam Graves (R-Mo.) and Reps. Dan Lipinski (D-Ill.), Rick Nolan (D-Minn.), and Todd Rokita (R-Ind.), all members of the House General Aviation Caucus. In the Senate, a similar bill was also introduced in May by Sens. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), both Senate GA Caucus members. AOPA worked with members of Congress to garner support for the legislation, which led to swift passage in both chambers. The two measures were reconciled, with final passage in Congress on Nov. 14, and subsequently sent to President Barack Obama for his signature.
AOPA continues to be engaged in identifying ways to streamline the certification process, serving on the FAA's Certification Process Study, the Part 23 Reorganization Aviation Rulemaking Committee (which developed the recommendations for reforms), and the ASTM F44 Committee, which is developing the industry consensus standards that will be leveraged by the Part 23 rulemaking effort.
"This new law is vitally important because it moves us one step closer to implementing changes that can make a real difference in what and how we fly. The cost of certifying new safety equipment and new airframes has prevented many owners from upgrading their existing aircraft or from being able to even consider the purchase of a new aircraft," said Rob Hackman, AOPA vice president of regulatory affairs. "The changes won't happen right away, but this law emphasizes how important it is to keep reforms moving forward. We'll keep working with Congress, the FAA, and the GA industry to make sure general aviation sees the benefits of reform."

High Helbeck is a mixed sporting estate set in the North Pennines.
The Helbeck estate has been in the Blackett-Ord family since my late father inherited it in 1952.
The shooting at High Helbeck includes some of the most challenging shooting in the country. Our fast grouse and high pheasants and partridges have challenged even the best shots.
The land over which we shoot includes some 4500 acres of stunning country in the North Pennines in Cumbria. The lower ground comprises areas of ancient woodland which are scientifically important in their own right due to the rare plants, birds and red squirrels that make it their home.
Focussed around the steep sided Swindale Beck our partridge drives are well known for being both very lively and extremely challenging. Higher still we have a small moor which is ideal for small driven and walked up days.
None of the above would be possible without that fantastic team that we have on the ground. We are dedicated to ensuring that a day at High Helbeck is a truly memorable experience.
At High Helbeck we strive to bring together exceptional shooting, glorious country and seamless hospitality. Whilst many of our teams come back year after year we are always pleased to see new faces. Any suggestions as to what we can do better are always welcome.


Mark your calendars for the Methuen Scholarship Foundation Telethon on Tuesday, March 8, and Wednesday, March 9. The event will be held in the MHS Performing Arts Center from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m. and can be viewed on the Verizon channel 31 and Comcast channel 99. All funds raised go directly to MHS graduating students.

Research and Development and Training are integral parts of ERNET activities. The activities at ERNET India are organised around five technology focus areas:

National Academic and Research Network
Research and Development in the area of Data Communication and its Application
Human Resource Development in the area of High-end Networking
Educational Content
Campus-wide High Speed Local Area Network

Beginning
ERNET was initiated in 1986 by the Department of Electronics (DoE), with funding support from the Government of India and United Nations Development Program (UNDP), involving eight premier institutions as participating agencies— NCST (National Centre for Software Technology) [Now CDAC] Bombay, IISc (Indian Institute of Science) Bangalore, five IITs (Indian Institutes of Technology) at Delhi, Bombay, Kanpur, Kharagpur and Madras, and the DoE, New Delhi. ERNET began as a multi protocol network with both the TCP/IP and the OSI-IP protocol stacks running over the leased-line portion of the backbone. Since 1995, however, almost all traffic is carried over TCP/IP.

History of ERNET
 ERNET started with Dial-up network in 1986–87.
 Initially UUCP mail was only service started by ERNET.
 First leased line of 9.6 kbit/s was installed in Jan'1991 between Delhi and Mumbai.
 ERNET was allotted Class B IP address 144.16.0.0 by InterNIC in 1990. Subsequently, Class C addresses were allotted to ERNET by APNIC.
 All IITs, IISc Bangalore, DOE Delhi and NCST Mumbai were connected by 9.6 kbit/s leased line by 1992.
 In 1992, 64 kbit/s Internet gateway link was commissioned from NCST Mumbai to UUNet in Virginia near Washington DC.
 In 1998 ERNET India was registered as Autonomous Society.
 In 1999-2000 new terrestrial high speed backbone was set up.
 In 2000 POP infrastructure was upgraded.
 Satellite WAN was set up in 1993.
 Today, 1100 institutes are ERNET users under different schemes.

ERNET backbone
ERNET backbone is a sophisticated link of terrestrial and satellite-based wide area networks. The satellite WAN, using VSAT technology. The VSAT network acts as an overlay for the terrestrial WAN by providing backup links between the backbone sites. International connectivity is achieved through gateways at New Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore and Kolkata, with a total capacity of 6.64 Mb. Daily traffic over ERNET exceeds 200 GB. ERNET architecture is based on industry standard TCP/IP protocol. This network had undergone a major upgrade during year 2000–2001 in association with CMC Ltd. (A Govt. of India Undertaking, then).

ERNET backbone is being enabled to support IPv6.

Notes from the Field: Estimating Biomass in Australian Tidal Saltmarshes
The Mapping Ocean Wealth (MOW) Australia team (OzMOW) are currently working hard to understand the distribution and value of carbon stored in ecosystems such as mangroves, seagrass beds and saltmarshes, otherwise known as blue carbon. Methods for quantifying carbon in soils are already well established and the OzMOW team have recently updated blue carbon stock maps for MOW geographies in Southeastern Australia (Port Phillip Bay and Western Port, and Richmond River).
A major limitation in the sampling of blue carbon is the lack of non-destructive ways in which to measure the carbon stored in leaves, roots and shoots of saltmarsh plants in Australia. Yet excitingly, the team are working on new methods that will enable the rapid, non-destructive measurement of the weight of living tissue in a saltmarsh shrub, otherwise known as the plants biomass. The new methods will enable an accurate estimate of stored carbon through the use of simple mathematical equations. Once developed, these equations can then be applied to every individual within a given area to provide valuable information about how much carbon can be stored in saltmarsh ecosystems as a whole.
How do we measure saltmarsh biomass?
Recently, the Oz MOW team have been surveying the coastal saltmarshes of western PPB taking measurements such as plant height, stem diameter and canopy area of our chosen saltmarsh shrubs. After collecting the measurements, the team then remove the saltmarsh shrubs and dry them back in the laboratory to remove all water molecules. The remaining dried shrub is composed of carbon and nitrogen compounds, or biomass. These biomass values can then be plotted against the shrub's field-measurements and mathematical relationships can be identified. These relationships form the equations that can then be used to predict biomass in any shrub of that species without destructive harvesting techniques.
Why is this work important?
This summer, the Oz MOW team are assessing the blue carbon potential of tidal saltmarshes within the western area of Port Phillip Bay, Victoria. This area has a complex land use history involving large areas devoted to the production of salt, which, over many years, has resulted in the loss of large areas of saltmarsh. Since the closure of the saltworks, saltmarsh appears to be successfully re-establishing creating a haven for many birds and other wildlife. By applying the newly developed equations we can rapidly assess saltmarsh biomass (and also carbon sequestration) without disturbing this delicate rehabilitating ecosystem, this makes it easier to monitor the recent natural regeneration. These restored saltmarshes are valuable sites for studying the biodiversity benefits of saltmarsh ecosystems and their blue carbon potential. They also provide important locations for demonstrating the potential for future rehabilitation as part of conversation efforts.

R&D (rhythm & darkness)
A quotation from Amos Childs of Bristol's Young Echo crew that I read at the end of the day yesterday in this great feature on them nicely clarified some thoughts that had been oozing around the edges of my mind earlier in the day:
"I think what people miss about the essence of dance music is that it wasn't originally a safe, boring thing," says Amos, getting back to the purpose behind Young Echo. "All of these styles that people are doing quite boringly, house music, dubstep, techno, whatever, they all started out very fringe, almost punk things, and I think sometimes people forget that. It can become all about keeping a crowd happy."
With Death Grips having released their album The Money Store recently and thus being on my mind, I was finally moved to buy their album from last year, Exmilitary (that's the Bandcamp-based link; I couldn't find a digital version on Amazon, Boomkat, Juno, or iTunes; had I known at the start of the search that it was on Bandcamp, I would have gone there straight away). It had been on my radar for quite a while, and I wanted to get fully acquainted with it before progressing to The Money Store. The synthesis of hip-hop/nuum/juke electronics with an industrial/noise rock/hardcore punk sensibility (and samples, which were a great callback to my 2008 hardcore immersion) is just a total sweet spot for my musical taste and arrives at brutal sonic destinations that I'd been away from for too long.
As I went to bed last night with Death Grips' hooks burrowed into my brain and Amos' spot-on words freshly received, I thought about the frequently posited linear spectrum of electronic music's functions: at one end, simply being intended to get you jiggy and/or euphoric on the dance floor; at the other end, being a vehicle, via headphones, for solitary inner-space journeys. A piece of music that nails both of these can then be regarded as an ultimate dance music achievement. But with a little thought it becomes obvious that there can be far more dimensions to (electronic and other) music's function than just those two poles, noble though they both are. I think another important purpose of music — not ALL music, of course, just some, as with danceability and spirit-transportability — is to rattle your bones, to get you spooked, to bag you up and roll you into a dark forest at night and leave you there with only the creatures with glinting eyes to keep you company. When electronic/dance music accomplishes this while remaining danceable, something truly special is going on; the rhythms and the darkness slip right over into the realm of ritual and the occult. I think that could be part of the reason why old-school jungle is such a hallowed realm for so many producers and listeners in the dubstep diaspora, myself included, via the darkness and weirdness of the bass combined with the still mind-blowing percussion science, ominous and transportive and funky at its best. This is what Death Grips, Lightning Bolt, 36 Chambers, deep industrial techno, Burial, Shackleton, crazy dark interbass tunes like Objekt's "Cactus," and certain strains of post-punk do for me as well; it seems to be part of the stirring-up that Young Echo are doing, and it's what I am striving toward in my own productions.

Have you made the decision that you want to embark on a fresh career as an ultrasound technician in St. Augustine South FL? If so, you're going to join one of the more satisfying careers in the health care field. However, you're going to want the appropriate training and you will find a few good ultrasound technician schools near St. Augustine South FL. This training and education will undoubtedly be the cornerstone to your ability to succeed as a diagnostic medical sonographer.You can find hundreds of different schools and training programs available for ultrasound techs. But then how do you know which one is going to be the right one for you? Just like any other occupation, there are some really important things you should consider prior to enrolling in any nursing training and sonography training is not any different.
Listed below are five details you really need to think about before choosing any ultrasound technician training program.
The primary factor you should consider is the institution's accreditation. This is significant as you want to make sure that you are receiving the best possible education . Every single ultrasound technician training school should be accredited by the CAAHEP or a similar accrediting organization in your area.
The next item to consider about your ultrasound technician training program is the focus. A number of schools put more focus on the best way to be employed in a medical-related environment, yet others focus more on mastering the actual technology of sonography.
Another essential thing you will have to consider is your clinical training experience. This is your hands-on training , and this is where you should actually be instructed how to use current ultrasound machinery. Some colleges devote a great deal more time on the clinical training than others. If it turns out your training program is not spending a considerable amount of time with hands on training, make sure to inquire why. In the majority of States you will need to possess a minimum quantity of clinical hours documented prior to being eligible to test for licensing.
Something else you should consider is your class size. The enrollment in your classes will differ from school to school . It is advisable to ask how small the classes are at the facility you may be going to because this will give you a clearer idea of how much one-on-one learning you can expect.
The final factor you need to carefully consider before choosing an ultrasound technician program is the success rate of the school you're considering. Be sure to ask the number of people that graduate from the course, what their comments were, and the number of them have actually gone on to become ultrasound techs.
Looking at these important steps before choosing an ultrasound technician school will make your final decision much easier and make it easier to become the best sonographer you can be. Once your decision is made its now time to plan for the adventure that lies ahead, what should you expect to accomplish during your sonography training?
Ultrasound technician training consists of educating future technicians the way to find and understand a variety of health issues by employing sound wave technology to capture images of internal organs and human tissue. There are plenty of accredited institutions that offer this type of instruction, which involves clinical, laboratory and class instruction.
Technicians devote the majority of their time in training formulating the skills needed to operate and maintain ultrasound machines . This enables them to create medical images with the use of ultrasound methods. Usually, medical facilities require techs to have been given schooling from accredited training programs in addition to having taken and passed the examination set by the ARDMS (American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers).
Those employed in this vocation should be competent in human anatomy, medical terms and also patient examination. Good communication skills will also be essential so that you can reduce any fears or nerves a patient may have as they go through technical procedures. An eye for high quality images as well as skills in choosing and examining images are likewise normally expected.
Formal instruction is usually acquired by registering for a training program offered by ultrasound technician schools, universities and colleges. The majority of future ultrasound technicians opt to sign up for 2-year associate's programs, though bachelor programs are also available. Applicants have got to possess a high school diploma with coursework having been completed in mathematics, standard sciences as well as health.
An Associate of Science in Ultrasound Technology study course concentrates on educating students how to use medical imaging devices, so that they can recognize different medical problems as well as the treatment methods which should be implemented . This ultrasound technician training degree involves a lot of hours spent in local health care facilities, hands-on training in practice labs and in-class lectures . Typically , the topics of patient care procedures, medical ethics, anatomy and physiology, simple physics and acoustic physics, are taught. Supplementary classes in abdominal scanning, vascular technology and obstetrics , may also be offered.
Traditionally, this program requires 4 years to complete, and provides an in-depth study of an assortment of ultrasound specialties that are needed for graduates to work as researchers, administrators or shift supervisors. Experience in gynecological, obstetrics and abdominal ultrasound procedures is provided through clinical internships and classroom instruction. With a B.S. degree you will be in the upper half of all sonographers in terms of education and according to the United States Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median salary for Diagnostic Medical Sonographers is over $65,000.
While the completion of an ultrasound technician training program is sufficient to find entry-level opportunities in the field, five years of ultrasound practical experience is necessary for higher paying positions that come with more responsibility, such as administration and management careers.
Sonographers are not required be certified ; however, the vast majority of employers would rather hire individuals who possess credentials from a certifying board, like the ARMDS. This is because certification provides evidence that an individual has the abilities and know-how needed to work effectively and efficiently.
Individuals hoping to attain a RDMS degree will need to pass the certifying exam set by the ARDMS . Once the examination is successfully completed, a specific amount of credits in continuing education has to be completed, so that you can maintain your certification. This form of ultrasound technician training might include a number of different specialties, like abdominal, nervous system or breast imaging.

The 2/21 st Foot in Zululand.
Subject: The 2/21 st Foot in Zululand. Tue Jan 17, 2012 2:45 pm
On the llth of February news was received in England of the great disaster in Zululand at Isandlhwana, where the camp of part of the troops under command of Lord Chelmsford was surprised by the Zulus, and the force nearly annihilated.
This intelligence caused the Gorvernment to decide on sending out reinforcements at once, and among the battalions of infantry selected was the 2/21 st Foot, and shortly afterwards received orders to hold itself in readiness for embarkation.
During the short time which intervened before embarkation the battalion was augmented to its full strength for foreign service by the addition of a large draft of well trained soldiers, under the command of Major Hazlerigg,from the Sixty-first brigade depot at Ayr.
On the 2Oth of February the second battalion Royal North British Fusiliers left the Curragh for Cork for foreign service under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel W. P. Collingwood,and embarked at Queenstown for South Africa.
As the ship steamed into Simon's Bay, she struck upon the Roman Rocks.
Such an incident was well calculated to cause alarm and confusion on board.
The good discipline of the Fusiliers was shown on this occasion by the steadiness and ready obedience to orders, which called forth the praise of their commanding-officer, Lieutenant-Colonel Collingwood, and Captain Fulton, commanding the ship.
Consequent upon this accident, the battalion was transhipped to another vessel, and proceeded to Durban, whereit disembarked on the 3ist March.
In anticipation of active operations, the band exchanged their instruments for rifles, the only musicians left being the pipers.
On the 3d of April the Fusiliers left Durban for "up country," arriving at Pietermaritzburg on the 5th, where two companies, under the command of Captain F. Willoughby,were left for the defence of the town.
Resuming their march on the 8th of April, they arrived at Dundee on the 23d.On the 2d of May they left Dundee, and on the 3Oth joined the division under the command of Major-General Newdigate at Koppie-allein.
On the ist of June the division crossed the Blood River into Zululand.On the 3d the battalion resumed its march to Ityotyozi River, close to the place where " the Prince Imperial of France " was killed.
On the 4th, on arrival in camp, the division constructed a fort, which was named " Fort Newdigate," in honour of the general.
During the night an attempt to surprise the position was made by the Zulus ; but the enemy being discovered, after a few rounds, they disappeared.
Here (Fort Newdigate) two companies of the Fusiliers,with two guns, and one troop of dragoons, were left as a garrison, the remainder of the battalion proceeding on the 6th to the Upoko River, where, after shelling the bush,the division formed "laager."
On the morning of the 7th of June the first brigade,consisting of the second battalion of the Royal North British Fusiliers, Fifty-eighth regiment, with cavalry and artillery, went out and cleared the bush, destroying the native "kraals," and carried off a large quantity of "mealies."
Here the battalion remained until the i6th, awaiting the arrival of General Wood's column from ConferenceHill with stores.
After this party had joined, the march was resumed along the banks of the Upoko.On the 17th the Fusiliers were again employed constructing another fort, afterwards named Fort Marshall ; two companies of the battalion with two guns, and a squadron of the Seventeenth Lancers, being detailed to remain behind to garrison it, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Collingwood.
On the 18th the remainder of the battalion, commanded by Major Hazlerigg, resumed its march towards Ulnndi,arriving on the 3th of June.
On the 4th of July, early in the morning, the troops crossed the Umvolosi river, and continued their march towards Ulundi.
The enemy were not visible until the scouts had ascended the opposite heights ; immediately afterwards, they were seen swarming upon the hills all around.
The division advanced in"square," the Seventeenth Lancers in rear of the rear face ; the enemy descended from the hills and surrounded the square, making their fiercest attack upon the rear face where the Fusiliers were posted, with the evident intention of getting between the troops and their camp, and so cutting off retreat.
It's on the two companies of the 2/21 st that the Zulus made their most determined assault,they are 6000 strong and 30 deep.Lord Chelmsford was also drawn to the danger and implored the fusiliers" Men;fire faster,cant's you fire faster ? "
Reserves rushed forward but the steady fire from the rear face ,supported by two artillery pieces firing case shot ,made the zulus stagger,halt and fall back...leaving a heap of dead and dying on the ground,the nearest Zulu lay only nine paces from the square...
The enemy was ultimately repulsed ; the number of their dead found lying in front of the position defended by the Fusiliers, bore evidence to the coolness and accuracy of aim of the latter.
In this engagement none of the Fusiliers were killed,but Major Winsloe and 10 men were wounded.
On the 5th July, Lieutenant-Colonel Collingwood having completed the regulated period of five years in command of the battalion, was succeeded by Lieutenant-Colonel Gildea, who, being in England, the command was temporarily held by Major Hazlerigg.
Lieutenant-Colonel Collingwood, in giving up the command,expressed in orders the great regret he had in severing his connection with the regiment in which he had served for a period of twenty-nine years.
On the 26th of August the battalion marched for Pretoria.On the 7th of September, the two companies under Captain Willoughby, which had been left at Pietermaritzburg, rejoined headquarters.
On the 8th of September the following general order was published :
" The General commanding desires it to be notified to all wounded in hospital, that the Queen has most graciously commanded, through Lady Frere, her Majesty's particular inquiries respecting them."
The battalion halted at Wakkerstroom until the 16th of September, owing to the deficiency of baggage animals ;when the right half battalion under Major Hazlerigg,marched for Heidelberg, the remaining half battalion under Major Bainbridge, being unable to proceed for want of transport. In a few days mules were procured, and it resumed the march.
On the 25th of September, when at Standerton, orderswere received for the formation of a body of mounted infantry, to consist of two officers, two sergeants, two corporals, and forty-six privates.
The officers selected were Lieutenants Collings and Lindsell, and twenty-five non-commissioned officers and men from each half battalion.
These men did excellent service throughout the whole campaign, not only when engaged with the enemy, but also as scouts and on outpost duty, performing the duties of cavalry in a most efficient manner...

You will find further information in MacKinnon & Shadbolt's 'The South Africa Campaign of 1879', first published in 1880.
There's a variation on the piece you have posted in the 'History of the 21st Royal Scots Fusiliers, 1678-1895' by Lt.-Col. Percy Groves.
The piece you have posted appears to have been taken from James Clark's 'Historical Record & Regimental Memoir of the Royal Scots Fusiliers' published in 1885.

After the book of Rothwell, p. 164,the number of men of the two companies of the 2/21 st at Ulundi, it's 11 officers + 205 ORs.
And all these men were not in these companies ...
After the book of JY, p. 188, the number of men of the two companies of the 2/21 st at Ulundi, it's 11 officers + 203 ORs. (Small difference)

See my opening comment re-the 94th.
This one is simply my handwritten 5 has been misconstrued as a 3.
Again what do you mean by And all these men were not in these companies ...? How many men do you think are in a company?
Subject: Re: The 2/21 st Foot in Zululand. Tue Oct 29, 2013 7:12 am
The theoretical strength of a company is 110 Officers, NCo's and soldiers, but it never reaches, in no battles...
By" And all these men were not in these companies ..."
I mean ,That in a battalion, all the officers, NCO's and soldiers are not all incorporated in the companies ...
I say this, because the goal for me was to find the real effective, in combat, of one of a company of this battalion at Ulundi
Do you have the 2nd Edition of ...Awful Row...? If not get hold of a copy David Langley's article The Organisation of the British Army will go someway to answer your question.
In theory there should have been 30 officers and 866 men comprising a battalion. Each company should have had 3 officers and 107 men, but you only have to look at a certain well-known company at Rorke's Drift to see that reality does not reflect theory.
The same goes for the 2nd/21st their battalion strength was whittled down as they provided the forces to defend the chain of forts on the line of advance to Ulundi. Add to this men taken ill or fallen out for some other reason to reach Ulundi with the number they actually did is not bad going.
Completely agree John, that I please research the exact numbers of fighters in combat of the companies, theoretical numbers are known and I think there was an special theoretical numbers for battalions in South Africa ...
Apart from B Company, 2/24th I do not currently know a exact numbers of fighters in combat of a compagny in battle , alas...
Yet to calculate and the number of men in a battalion, it was necessary that they know, the number of men in each companies !
