Men of War


Men of War | 6.2 Gb
Developer: Best Way | Release date: February 20, 2009 | Genre: Real-time Tactical-Strategy
Men of War delivers a highly detailed World War II theatre of action, with amazing new features making this game completely unique and a must have for every RTS gamer! Men of War takes place in Europe and North Africa during the height of World War II, the story unfolding across three different campaigns played out through the eyes of Soviet, Allied and German soldiers. Each campaign has its own scenario and structured timeline bringing a different story of the war to life.
The main Soviet campaign sees two student comrades, Smirnov and Kuznetzov, join the army and quickly become brothers in arms as they rise through the ranks and experience the rigours of war. The whole story unfolds across three campaigns, with five German and five Allied misssions completing the trilogy, each telling a different story of WWII spanning across Russia, North Africa, Ukraine, Greece, Germany, Italy and the Pacific.
Men of War will feature no less than twenty new units to play with, including new designs on tanks, APCs and heavy guns. Dynamic in-game video enhances the single player missions, while the sounds of war have been given new range with over one hundred new sound effects of weapons and combat gear, recorded under real operating conditions. The single player campaign will also feature a fully customisable user interface, so players are able to have their command layout just as they please.
In addition to the in-depth single player experience, Men of War also unleashes all new multiplayer maps along with new ‘capture the flag’ and ‘high-value cargo’ modes, all faithfully recreated with stunning graphics and refined AI. A new rating system has also been introduced to ensure a fair fight in online multiplayer battles.
Men of War is the follow up of the highly successful Soldiers: Heroes of World War II, developed by Best Way . The unique gameplay and design made the predecessor standing out from the RTS genre and found very soon a large fanbase, which is still active due to the impressive mod support.
Men of War starts were Soldiers ended, it delivers improved physics which allows you to destroy whole maps on a level of detail you never saw before, the newly developed armor penetration physics calculate the impact angle of every single projectile in accordance to the historic armor value of each vehicle.
Every tank has the sound of its original, dropping you in a fully cinematic and authentic sound experience, which hardly can be described. As this wouldn’t be enough, you will enjoy a really useful and unique feature: Direct control! Take over the control of every single soldier you have, or drive tanks and other vehicles, set up ambushes with antitank guns and blow your enemies up with precise and deadly aimed shots at their weak spots!
Feel the adrenaline when an enemy Tiger crosses the roads, or feel the enemies fear when he hears the sound of a deadly German Panther tank, which is driven by you!
Features:
* Fully destructable environment. Get your men into cover of newly formed tank shell craters!
* Very authentic sound experience with historical accuracy!
* Unseen physics and armor penetration system.
* Each mission and battle plays out differently based on your tactical choices!
* Unseen battle scenarios to keep the WW2 setting fresh.
* Over 100 highly accurate tanks and vehicles ready to be under your command!
* Realistic fog of war
* Smart AI is searching for your men covered in bushes and calls for reinforcements, including a morale system.
* Excellent modding support and official SDK (Mapeditor, 3dsMax Plugins)!
* 6 different playable nations!
* Direct Control! Want it done right? Do it yourself!
Multiplayer:
* Up to 16 players via LAN or Network
* Ingame browser including ranked statistics
* A good bunch of well tested and intense gamemodes
* Cooperative gamemode allows you to play through the campaigns with your friends!
* NAT support, allows you to host games through routers

Steve Kenson, Stephanie Pui-Man Law. "The Witch's Handbook"


Steve Kenson, Stephanie Pui-Man Law. "The Witch's Handbook"
Green Ronin Publishing | 2002 | ISBN: 0972359907 | 66 pages | PDF | 16 Mb
The witch is a "naturalist" spellcaster who casts arcane spells using time-honored hearth wisdom rather than the arcane formulae and elaborate theories of wizardry.
The Witch's Handbook, like other books in the Master Class series, presents a brand-new core class and an array of associated prestige class. In addition to the new feats, spells, and magic items that you'd expect, The Witch's Handbook explores the deeper secrets of the The Craft. Learn of covens and their ritual magic, charms and their making, and herbs and their magical applications.
"Reminds readers of the extent to which science, reason, and skepticism failed to destroy the realm of arcane arts and nightmares."

Eye of the Beholder 1 (1991)


Eye of the Beholder 1 (1991)
PC Game | Windows | Westwood Studios | 1.60 MB

Eye of the Beholder is an all-time favourite. It's a real-time 3D dungeon romp at its best. You control a party of four adventurers that has to explore the sewers of your city and eradicate the evil that has infested them.
The graphics in this game are superb, from the faces of your party members and NPC's to swords, potions and magical items. The monsters are also really well done and there are loads of them! There are heaps of items too, just waiting to be picked up. Westwood was known for making visually stunning introductions and they don't disappoint. The intro explains the story so far and then you're off...
Creating a character is simple and straightforward. You can choose from a list of races and classes and then re-roll the statistics until you're happy.
The combat in the game is also easy; you just have to right-click on the weapon and it is used. However, only your front characters can fight with swords; the back ones must use ranged weapons or magic. Magic is used by memorizing spells while resting and then choosing a spell from a list.
The sound is haunting and very fitting to the environment. You can hear skeletons jingle their chains as they move, and believe me, it's unnerving.
All in all, this game is worth any RPG-er's time. There is fun to be had, nerves to be shot and maps to be drawn.

Guy Cook, "Applied Linguistics (Oxford Introductions to Language Study)"
Oxford University Press, USA | 2003-04-10 | ISBN: 0194375986 | 144 pages | PDF | 7 MB
Applied Linguistics investigates real-world problems involving language. As such it has the difficult task of mediating between academic expertise and lived experience, attempting to reconcile opposed interests and perspectives. This clearly written introduction provides a concise but comprehensive overview of the most pressing and controversial issues surrounding contemporary language use today, including intercultural communication, political persuasion, new technologies, the growth of English, language in education, and foreign language teaching and learning.

Scientific American - February 2009
PDF | English | 18.5 MB | 88 pages
Scientific American is a popular-science magazine, published (first weekly and later monthly) since August 28, 1845, making it the oldest continuously published magazine in the United States. It brings articles about new and innovative research to the amateur and lay audience.
Scientific American (informally abbreviated to "SciAm") had a monthly circulation of roughly 555,000 US and 90,000 international as of December 2005. It is a well-respected publication despite not being a peer-reviewed scientific journal, such as Nature; rather, it is a forum where scientific theories and discoveries are explained to a wider audience. In the past scientists interested in fields outside their own areas of expertise made up the magazine's target audience. Now, however, the publication is aimed at educated general readers who are interested in scientific issues. The magazine American Scientist covers similar ground but at a level more suitable for the professional science audience, similar to the older style of Scientific American.

Gregorian - The Masterpieces (DVD) Live in Prague

Gregorian - The Masterpieces (DVD) Live in Prague
New Age, Electronic, Pop | 1 DVD | Dolby Digital 5.1 | 4.4 Gb
Publisher: Edel Records GmbH | Language: English, Deutsch

With Gregorian's remarkable success in this last decade it was inevitable that a greatest hits collection would finally be released. But collecting their most famous renditions on one CD will not necessarily entice long-time fans to purchase the new release if they already own all the previous albums. So Frank Peterson and Edel Records approached this in a similar way to their recent greatest hits release for Sarah Brightman: besides the single-CD edition, they've simultaneously made available a new DVD of one of the group's live shows. This, of course, is the truly exciting feature and makes the purchase essential for any fan of the group. To date, all the previous Gregorian DVDs have consisted of carefully constructed performances in exotic locations, so this is the first time we witness one of their renowned live shows in official recorded format. And, true to Edel's high-quality standards, the concert is brilliantly filmed for DVD in widescreen with a host of audio channels including a wonderful Dolby Digital 5.1 to the inspiring DTS surround mix. The lengthy 17-track, 80-minute show will please old and new fans alike, shot on the moody stage of one of the Prague concerts. The CD release contains two live-tracks, which are not featured on the DVD. Perhaps the only disappointment is that Losing My Religion and Still I'm Sad were not performed in this concert, however with the wealth of tracks that Gregorian now have in their repetoire this is understandable. The cover of the new album lists this as "Decade 1" for the group - so we can only look forward to even more beautiful music ahead.

FPS CREATOR v1.0-1.09 MEGA-DVD + Addons

Create your game instantly with the intuitive 3D editor.
Drag and drop walls, lights, doors, enemies, ammo, weapons and more - with pixel perfect precision, and watch as they intelligently link together.
Then with one click of the mouse, play your game! We’re quite rightly very proud of the game building environment we have created for you.
Gone is the tedious task of hollowing out cubes just to make a room, or having to know a programming language inside out. Our fully graphical Windows based editor allows you to literally paint your maps with pixel perfect 3D precision and create great looking scenes like these in a matter of minutes: And when you’ve got things placed where you want them you can drop in weapons, enemies, objectives, trigger zones, customise the loading screens, create your own AI scripts, draw some waypoint paths, set-up some gorgeous lighting effects and then a single click of the mouse will turn it all into an EXE file you can pass to your friends. No programming? FPS Creator uses custom scripts for every element of the game. From the enemy AI behaviours, to the ways a key might open a door.
We tried our best to ensure that nearly everything was controlled via a script rather than hard coded into the program. This means for those that wish to get their hands dirty then can open up the script files into any text editor and re-code them.
Although it’s perfectly possible to create a large and complex game without entering a single line of code, the option is there if you want that extra level of control. The scripting language is a simple state based system, no C++ required.

CyberMotion 3D Designer FULL

Wherever we look, we encounter virtual worlds. Whether in Hollywood or daily advertisements, the world that is presented to the viewer will be a mainly artificial creation. At last, you too can create these surreal worlds at home, practice inside or outside architecture, design products or promotional logos and films or build your own virtual worlds using the build in landscape designer and atmospheric background models.

All the modules required to generate, model and manipulate, animate and represent the three-dimensional world are integrated into one program: i.e. all actions are controlled directly by CyberMotion. There is a choice of several rendering algorithms, from normal raytracing to up-to-date global illumination rendering methods like ambient occlusion, photon mapping or HDRI-rendering.

The possibilities to define object surfaces, light conditions and backgrounds are almost inexhaustible - visual libraries and fast preview windows in the main dialogs invite to experiment and play around with this vast functionality. Complex 3D animations can be set up very easily - you can animate all objects, camera and light settings, backgrounds, fire, water and even clouds and fog in the atmosphere. You can arrange objects in hierarchies to animate jointed models or robots and easily position joints with the help of Inverse Kinematics.

And with the up to date Skin and Bones technology even character animation is available with CyberMotion. Call your own heroes and monsters into being, CyberMotion gives you all the tools you need to do it. New features in version 13.0: Displacement Mapping, expanded modeling tools and new primitives, measurement conversion, volumetric clouds, camera-automovement and much more.

The Norwegian Invasion of England in 1066 (Warfare in History) By Kelly DeVries

The Norwegian Invasion of England in 1066 (Warfare in History) By Kelly DeVries

This very accessible narrative...tells the story of 'the first two important battles of 1066', Fulford Gate and Stamford Bridge, and of the leaders of the opposing English and Norwegian factions. CHOICE The evidence of later 12th- and 13th-century Norse sagas, Snorri Sturlusson's Heimskringla, and the less well known Norwegian Kings Sagas...present far more detail about the invasion and its battles than the more widely accepted sources could possibly allow... He places the invasion in a broad context. He outlines the Anglo-Scandinavian nature of the English kingdom in the eleventh century, traces the careers of the major leaders, and devotes a chapter each to the English and Norwegian military systems. JOURNAL OF MILITARY HISTORY (US) William the Conqueror's invasion in 1066 was not the only attack on England that year. On September 25, 1066, less than three weeks before William defeated King Harold II Godwinson at the battle of Hastings, that same Harold had been victorious over his other opponent of 1066, King Haraldr Hardrádi of Norway at the battle of Stamford Bridge. It was an impressive victory, driving an invading army of Norwegians from the earldom of Northumbria; but it was to cost Harold dear. In telling the story of this neglected battle, Kelly DeVries traces the rise and fall of a family of English warlords, the Godwins, as well as that of the equally impressive Norwegian warlord Hardrádi.KELLY DEVRIES is Associate Professor, Department of History, Loyola College in Maryland.

The Real History Behind the Da Vinci Code By Sharan Newman

The Real History Behind the Da Vinci Code By Sharan Newman
Publisher: Berkley Trade 2005 | 352 Pages | ISBN: 0425200124 | PDF | 14 MB
Dan Brown's novel The Da Vinci Code caused a huge sensation when it came out in 2003. The book, a modern twist on the Holy Grail quest, has sold over 20 million copies in 42 languages. It claimed to reveal an extraordinary alternate history of the Western world, including the existence of Jesus Christ's surviving bloodline, which was protected for 2,000 years by a secret society called the Priory of Sion. The question is: How much of the novel is true? Not a lot, according to Sharan Newman, a medieval novelist and scholar. Her book, The Real History Behind the Da Vinci Code, investigates the historical figures, places, and events behind Brown's thriller. While The Da Vinci Code is a great yarn, she writes, it makes numerous factual distortions and was largely inspired by another book, Holy Blood, Holy Grail, that is far from credible.
The real Priory of Sion, Newman writes, was founded in the 1950s by a French far-right extremist named Pierre Plantard, who tried to pass himself off as a descendant of Dagobert II and, therefore, as the rightful king of France. Newman writes that French historians have discredited Plantard's claims as a hoax. In The Da Vinci Code, the Priory is said to have been led by an illustrious line of grand masters, including Leonardo Da Vinci. Newman writes that Leonardo, while certainly a genius, was famously erratic, undependable, and easily distracted--far too flaky, she suggests, to be chosen to lead any group, let alone one supposedly as secret and important as the Priory. Newman says The Da Vinci Code also makes basic mistakes about Parisian geography, the layout of the Louvre museum, and important facts of French and biblical history. So did Jesus have children? Newman says there is no evidence for that either. Overall, her book is a salient reminder that fiction is sometimes just that. --Alex Roslin
Millions have been enthralled by The Da Vinci Code's fascinating historical speculations-and the blockbuster novel's audience has also made bestsellers of several books offering to separate the facts from the fiction. This comprehensive, encyclopedic volume is written by an acclaimed medievalist-and takes an objective, history-based approach to the phenomenon and the questions it has raised.
The Real History Behind the Da Vinci Code gives easy-to-find, clear answers about the people, places, and events that play roles in Dan Brown's tantalizing thriller in a lively, encyclopedic format-shedding new light on some of the deepest mysteries of the Dark Ages.
Further, the author has visited all of the sites in France and England which are settings in The Da Vinci Code, offering unprecedented insight into these locations--for armchair travellers, or for fans who wish to go and visit these sites themselves.

Todd Thornton Lewis, "Popular Buddhist Texts from Nepal: Narratives and Rituals of Newar Buddhism"


Todd Thornton Lewis, "Popular Buddhist Texts from Nepal: Narratives and Rituals of Newar Buddhism"
State University of New York Press | 2000-10 | ISBN: 0791446123 | 236 pages | PDF | 3,4 MB
Summary: Excellent Material and Analysis
Rating: 5
Although the book is geared toward scholarly readers, it uses a limitted amount of jargon and carefully explains the background of all of the texts provided, making it accessible ot any reader with an interest in this subject. Despite the popularity of Nepal as a destination for tourists, the religions of Nepal are very poorly understood by most Westerners. This book, by presenting texts which are actually popular among modern Newar Buddhists gives an excellent feeling for how the religion is understod by the people who live and practice it. On the more scholarly side, his discussion of the "domestication" of texts and the role of stories and ritual in culture is insightful, though there is clearly room for his argument to be taken further.

Rome and Persia in Late Antiquity: Neighbours and Rivals


Rome and Persia in Late Antiquity: Neighbours and Rivals
Publisher: Cambridge University Press | ISBN: 052184925X | edition 2007 | PDF | 364 pages | 3,9 mb
The foundation of the Sasanian Empire in Persia in AD 224 established a formidable new power on the Roman Empire's eastern frontier, and relations over the next four centuries proved turbulent. This book provides a chronological narrative of their relationship, supported by a substantial collection of translated sources illustrating structural patterns. The political goals of the two sides, their military confrontations and their diplomatic solutions are discussed, as well as the common interests between the two powers. Special attention is given to the situation of Arabia and Armenia, to economic aspects, the protection of the frontiers, the religious life in both empires and the channels of communication between East and West. Considerable attention is also paid to exploring the role played by the Sasanians in the history of the ancient Near East. The book will prove invaluable for students and non-specialists interested in late antiquity and early Byzantium.

William H. Overholt "Asia, America, and the Transformation of Geopolitics"


William H. Overholt "Asia, America, and the Transformation of Geopolitics"
Publisher Cambridge University Press | ISBN: 0521895871 | edition 2007 | PDF | 366 pages | 2,53 Mb
American security and prosperity now depend on Asia. William H. Overholt offers an iconoclastic analysis of developments in each major Asian country, Asian international relations, and U.S. foreign policy. Drawing on decades of political and business experience, he argues that obsolete Cold War attitudes tie the U.S. increasingly to an otherwise isolated Japan and obscure the reality that a U.S.-Chinese bicondominium now manages most Asian issues. Military priorities risk polarizing the region unnecessarily, weaken the economic relationships that engendered American preeminence, and ironically enhance Chinese influence. As a result, despite its Cold War victory, U.S. influence in Asia is declining. Overholt disputes the argument that democracy promotion will lead to superior development and peace, and forecasts a new era in which Asian geopolitics could take a drastically different shape. Covering Japan, China, Russia, Central Asia, India, Pakistan, Korea, and South-East Asia, Overholt offers invaluable insights for scholars, policymakers, business people, and general readers.

    Publisher: Sega | Genre: Strategy | 1734+534+504 MB

    Rome: Total War (often abbreviated to RTW or Rome) is a critically acclaimed strategy game composed of both turn-based strategy and real-time tactics, in which the player fights historical and fictitious battles set during late Roman Republic and early Roman Empire (270 BC–AD 14). The game was developed by Creative Assembly and released on September 22, 2004. It is the third game of Creative Assembly's Total War series.


    Rome: Total War has been critically acclaimed by many reviewers and is generally regarded as one of the best strategy games of 2004, winning numerous awards and high scores from gaming websites and magazines alike. The review aggregator Game Rankings shows an average of 91.7% from 65 major critic reviews, with 48 reviews in the 90%s.

    Barbarian Invasion is the first expansion for the personal computer game Rome: Total War which takes the action forward to the period of the decline of the Western Roman Empire. The campaign begins in 363 A.D. and ends in 476 A.D. If the player has not achieved the campaign goals in 476, an option to quit or to continue the game is presented. The expansion includes simulation of the religious tension of the period, as three major religions (Christianity, Zoroastrianism and Paganism) fought for dominance. Also depicted are the great migrations of the Germanic and steppe peoples (notably the Huns) throughout Europe.


    Rome Total War: Alexander is the second expansion for the personal computer game Rome: Total War. It is set in an earlier time period, putting the player in the role of Alexander the Great. It begins with Alexander's ascension to the Macedonian throne in 336 B.C. and lasts for 100 turns, each of which, unlike the original game and the first expansion, Barbarian Invasion, do not represent six months (assuming that it follows Alexander's actual reign of thirteen years, each turn would represent nearly seven weeks). The game is much the same as the original Rome: Total War, but with fewer factions, different units, and a different map. The player's goal is to conquer 30 provinces, including key cities such as Tyre, Halicarnassus and Babylon, within the 100 turn limit.
