# The Palladium RPG Book 4: Adventures in the Northern Wilderness

The Palladium RPG Book 4: Adventures in the Northern Wilderness is a supplement published by Palladium Books in 1989 for the Palladium Fantasy Role-Playing Game.

## Contents

The Palladium RPG Book 4: Adventures in the Northern Wilderness is a campaign setting supplement and adventure scenario book which details the forested and mountainous regions of the northern wilderness and its empire of 12 barbarian wolfen tribes. The module had 96 pages and included information about the setting as well as six complete adventures.

## Publication history

Palladium Books published the Palladium Fantasy Role-Playing Game in 1983. The following year, they began to release regional adventure guides that contained information about specific regions of the continent on which the original game was set. As the title suggests, The Palladium RPG Book 4: Adventures in the Northern Wilderness was the fourth book in this series, released in 1989 as a 96-page book written by Thomas Bartold, Grant Boucher, Kevin Davies, Jeffrey Gomez, Kevin Long, Alex Marciniszyn, Kevin Siembieda, and Erick Wujcik, with a cover by Keith Parkinson.
This was followed in 1990 by Book V: "Further" Adventures in the Northern Wilderness.
In 1996, when Palladium published a second edition of Palladium Fantasy Role-Playing Game, the two "Northern Wilderness" regional guides were replaced by a new regional guide, Wolfen Empire, published in 2003.

## Reception

Stewart Wieck reviewed the product in the February–March 1990 issue of White Wolf. He called it an "excellent game supplement", rating it overall at a 4 out of 5 possible points.

# Batha, Lebanon

Batha (Arabic: بطحا) is a village in the Keserwan District of the Keserwan-Jbeil Governorate of Lebanon. It is located 28 kilometers northern the Lebanese capital Beirut, and to the east of Jounieh Bay, with a view of the Mediterranean sea, with average elevation of 580 meters above sea level and total land area approximately 63 hectares. A water spring flows through the pine and oak tree forests to the north of Batha, watering gardens and orchards before emptying in the Mediterranean sea. Ottoman tax records indicate that Batha had 3 Christian households and 2 bachelors living there in 1543.
The inhabitants of the town are predominantly Maronite Catholics. Batha is the hometown of Lebanese painter Michel Elmir (1930–1973) and the hometown of the professor Nidal Elmir
There are many family in Batha that are widely known: Elmir-Oueiny-Soukayem-Chayeb-Mansour family.

# Reservoir war

The Reservoir war was a minor insurrection in Paulding County, Ohio, United States in 1887.

## Background

Just east of Antwerp, Ohio, was the Six Mile Reservoir of the Wabash and Erie Canal. The reservoir, about 2000 acres (8 km$^2$) in size, had been built in 1840 by damming and diking a creek. It was used to provide water for the canal.
The Wabash Canal was completed in 1843 and the Miami and Erie Canal in 1845, but they only operated for about ten years before they started shutting down. The last canalboat on the Wabash canal made its last docking in 1874 in Huntington, Indiana, but other sections shut down years earlier. For instance, the section through Fort Wayne, Indiana had been sold in 1870, and filled in so the Pennsylvania Railroad could lay tracks.
For twenty years, the reservoir provided little for area residents but a mosquito-breeding ground for the spread of "ague", an archaic term for what was later recognized as malaria. The decaying reservoir also created issues for nearby agriculture and produced a noxious smell. An effort had been made to have the State of Ohio abandon the reservoir, but the bill failed to pass.

## Conflict

Local residents attempted to cut the dike and drain the reservoir one night in March 1887, but wet work in cold weather being treacherous, they did an incomplete job. Governor Joseph B. Foraker issued a proclamation requiring the rioters to disperse, and ordered General Axline with several companies of militia to the site to protect the state's property and preserve the peace. When the militia arrived, however, there was nobody there. Residents of the county were in favor of draining the reservoir, and investigators were unable to discover who had damaged the reservoir.
On the night of April 25, 1887, a band of between 200 and 400 men, residents of the county, proceeded to the lower end of the reservoir. They captured the guard and tended to his minor self-inflicted gunshot wounds; nobody else fired a shot. The band dynamited two locks, and spent the entire night cutting the dikes with pick and spade. Although this still did not entirely drain the reservoir, it was mortally wounded. The reservoir and canal were later abandoned by the state.
The only victim of the war was Fred Reeves, aged nineteen, private in Company II. He accidentally shot himself through the head while on guard duty at Cecil an hour or two after the first arrival of the troops at that place. He was killed instantly and his remains were taken to Toledo the following day tor burial, escorted by a corporal and two of his comrades. The citizens and soldiers alike mourned the sad and untimely fate of young Reeves. Fred is buried in Section OC of Forest Cemetery in Toledo, OH; see Find A-Grave Memorial #208663218.

## Aftermath

The band attacking the reservoir wall carried a flag bearing the slogan, "No Compromise!". Paulding County, Ohio still uses this motto as of 2021.
A historical marker for the site was dedicated in 2021.

# Upstream contamination

Upstream contamination by floating particles is a counterintuitive phenomenon in fluid dynamics. When pouring water from a higher container to a lower one, particles floating in the latter can climb upstream into the upper container. A definitive explanation is still lacking: experimental and computational evidence indicates that the contamination is chiefly driven by surface tension gradients, however the phenomenon is also affected by the dynamics of swirling flows that remain to be fully investigated.

## Origins

The phenomenon was observed in 2008 by the Argentine Sebastian Bianchini during mate tea preparation, while studying physics at the University of Havana.
It rapidly attracted the interest of professor Alejandro Lage-Castellanos, who performed, with Bianchini, a series of controlled experiments. Later on professor Ernesto Altshuler completed the trio in Havana, which resulted in the Diploma thesis of Bianchini and a short original paper posted in the web arXiv and mentioned as a surprising fact in some online journals.
Bianchini's Diploma thesis showed that the phenomenon could be reproduced in a controlled laboratory setting using mate leaves or chalk powder as contaminants, and that temperature gradients (hot in the top, cold in the bottom) were not necessary to generate the effect. The research also showed that surface tension was key to the explanation through the Marangoni effect. This was suggested by two facts: (a) both mate and chalk lowered the surface tension of water, and (b) if an industrial surfactant was added on the upper reservoir, the upstream motion of particles would stop.

## Confirmation

After a talk by Lage-Castellanos at the First Workshop on Complex Matter Physics in Havana (MarchCOMeeting'2012), professor Troy Shinbrot of Rutgers University became interested in the subject. Together with student Theo Siu, Cuban results were confirmed and expanded with new experiments and numerical simulations at Rutgers, which resulted in a joint peer-reviewed paper.

# The Fifth Plague of Egypt

The Fifth Plague of Egypt is an 1800 oil painting by Romantic English artist Joseph Mallord William Turner currently in the permanent collection at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. Despite its title, it depicts Moses cursing the Egyptians with a plague of hail and fire, known as the seventh plague. It is one of the first works in which Turner uses an extreme representation of landscape and nature to explore the sublime.

## Description

In the foreground, two dead horses and a dead man are piled together, casualties of the earlier plague of pestilence in livestock. To the right, Moses stands with his arms outstretched, cursing the Egyptians with a plague of hail and fire, far away from the engulfed city. In the background, tumultuous clouds swirl above the Egyptian city, which is denoted by the gleaming, white pyramid in the centre of the canvas. Thin, horizontal lines fall from the clouds, showing streaks of hail falling from the sky. The painting is dominated with dark, neutral tones, creating the feeling of gloom.
Although the painting would be categorised as a history painting for its display of a biblical scene, the painting comes across as a landscape painting, clearly demonstrating Turner's training in landscapes. The sky and the scenery take precedence over the figure of Moses and his actions, instead turning him into part of the landscape. The painting shows the force of nature as a more important factor than the force of man, which is minuscule.

## Historical information

Turner describes the seventh plague of Egypt that God cursed upon the Egyptians for punishment of not releasing the Israelites from slavery, as described in the Old Testament Book of Exodus, 9:13–35. Turner possibly mislabelled this painting as the wrong plague when he submitted it, but the title has not changed.
Turner submitted this large-scale painting to the annual Royal Academy exhibition in London in 1800. The twenty-four-year-old Turner was eager to impress the London art critics, with the largest canvas submitted by a young artist. He attempted to show his virtuosity as a history painter, even when his landscape painting background is entirely evident. Turner had only been accepted into the Royal Academy as an Associate Member in 1799, and was eager to show his place.

### Acquisition

The painting was purchased from Turner by William Beckford in April 1800. Henry Jeffrey purchased the painting in 1807, before selling it to Thomas Tutor. George Young acquired the painting by 1853, and it was at sale at Christie's in London in 1866. The painting was purchased by Earl Grosvenor in 1866 and stayed in his possession until at least 1871. In 1876, the painting was bought by Sir Francis Cook, where the painting stayed until 1951. It was sold to Sir Alexander Corda by the Cook family. John Mitchell bought the painting in 1955; the IMA purchased the painting in the same year from Mitchell with funds from the Lilly family.
# Hem Chieu

Hem Chieu (Khmer: ហែម ចៀវ; 1898 - 1943) was a Cambodian Buddhist monk and a prominent figure in the development of Khmer nationalism.
Chieu was a professor at the Higher School of Pali in Phnom Penh, and strongly objected to attempts by the French colonial authorities, beginning in the late 1930s, to romanize the Khmer writing system. Although the reforms were not intended to be applied to religious texts, he began to make vocal criticisms of the French administration. He became associated with two nationalist activists, Son Ngoc Thanh and Pach Chheoun, editor and founder of a pro-independence Khmer-language newspaper, Nagaravatta. The French authorities believed that Thanh, Chieu and Chheoun, with Japanese backing, were attempting to recruit followers for a bid for independence from the French.

## Arrest

On July 18, 1942, the French authorities moved to arrest Chieu and an associate, Nuon Dong. Chieu was alleged to have preached anti-French sermons to Khmer troops in the colonial militia in preparation of the revolt; the manner of his arrest deeply offended many other members of the sangha.

## Reaction to Arrest

A large demonstration against the arrests, in which many monks took part, was organised two days later in Phnom Penh by Thanh and Chhoeun. Chhoeun marched at the head of the demonstrators, and several monks who would later take an active role in Cambodian politics, such as later Communist activists Achar Mean (Son Ngoc Minh) and Achar Sok (Tou Samouth) were present. The demonstration was broken up violently by the French, and Chhoeun was arrested and sentenced to death (later commuted to life imprisonment).

## Death

Hem Chieu, "still preaching" according to an observer, was also sentenced to death by a military tribunal, later commuted to life imprisonment with hard labour. He died in the notorious Côn Sơn Island prison in October 1943. While there he met several leaders of the Viet Minh, such as Phạm Văn Đồng and Tôn Đức Thắng, who afterwards related that Hem Chieu's heroic conduct in the prison led to sanctions which directly contributed to his illness and death.
Chieu soon came to be regarded as a martyr by leftist Cambodian nationalists and insurgents of the United Issarak Front. In 1950, a political school named after Hem Chieu was established in the southwest of the county and an armed guerrilla unit named itself after him. He was also, however, honoured as a national hero by the anticommunist Khmer Republic.

# Renzo Picasso

Renzo Picasso (1880–1975) was an Italian architect, engineer, and urban planner and designer.
He was the author of the early twentieth century utopian projects for the city of Genoa, such as that for the Piazza de Ferrari, which suggested a development in height for those urban and metropolitan cities with a population of three million inhabitants or more.
His numerous projects for skyscrapers (or rather the "cloudscratchers" as he used to call the high rising towers he dreamt to build, "grattanuvole") are set in a context of wide open spaces to ease human socialization.
He was also the inventor of machines and devices characterized by the use of advanced technologies, such as the Motovol and the auto-scafopattino.

# Bachi

Bachi (桴, 枹; also batchi) are straight wooden sticks used on Japanese taiko drums, and also the plectrum (written 撥) for stringed instruments of Japanese origin such as the shamisen and biwa.

## For percussion

Drum bachi (桴, 枹) are made in a wide variety of sizes and materials, as appropriate to the drum it will be used to play. A typical bachi is about 22 mm (7/8 inches) in diameter, 400 mm (16 inches) long and made out of a hardwood such as oak. These would be suitable for a wide variety of playing styles.
A bachi for playing a larger drum like the O-daiko would be bigger both in circumference and length. Similarly, smaller bachi are used for smaller drums.
Distinctions between the characters 桴 and 枹 are not always made in technical terms, but 枹 can also literally refer to the white oak tree, or Quercus. Some other woods commonly used to make bachi are (Japanese names in parentheses): maple (楓, kaede), pine (松, matsu), cypress (檜, hinoki), magnolia (朴, hō), beech (椈, buna) and bamboo (竹, take). Magnolia is one of the lightest and softest woods, most suitable for playing smaller drums with a sharp attack and less decay. On a larger drum, however, a magnolia bachi usually sounds "slappy" and flat, because it is too light to strike the thicker head of the drum with enough power to generate the lower tones of the drum. It is also too soft to strike the rim of the drum (in kuchi shoka, it is called a ka) without denting the wood. Cypress is slightly harder than magnolia, and is usually cheaper as well. On the opposite extreme, an evergreen oak (樫, kashi) bachi is heavy and hard. It brings out a better, fuller sound when playing larger taiko, but it muffles the higher harmonics of smaller taiko, sounding "thunky" and dead.
Taiko drumming is a highly visual art form, and so bachi are sometimes decorated with bells or tassels for use during performance.

## For stringed instruments

Bachi used for stringed instruments (撥) are actually picks. They are very distinct in form and use from Western-style picks, which are usually smaller in order to be held between or mounted to fingers. In shape, bachi are similar to an ice scraper or a putty knife.
Bachi can be made of various materials and with varying levels of strength. Similarly to guitar picks, bachi were traditionally made of tortoise shell (鼈甲, bekkō) or ivory (象牙, zōge), but these materials are rare and expensive (and illegal to trade in some territories, due to protection of endangered species), therefore making bachi in these materials highly expensive and impractical. Modern and more affordable variants are often made of acrylic, plastic or wood.
Generally, bachi made of softer, more flexible materials are easier to play with for beginners, but harder materials produce a stronger sound and last longer.
