# Magic in Ithkar 3

Magic in Ithkar 3 is a shared world anthology of fantasy stories edited by Andre Norton and Robert Adams. It was first published as a trade paperback by Tor Books in October 1986 and later reprinted as a standard paperback in September 1989.

## Summary

The book collects fourteen fifteen short stories by various fantasy authors which share the setting of an annual fair in the city of Ithkar, together with an introduction by Adams and notes on the authors by Norton.

## Setting

As described in the introduction by co-editor Robert Adams (identical to that in the previous volumes), the world of which Ithkar is a part has suffered from some past holocaust which wiped out an earlier, higher civilization. Subsequently, the area which became Ithkar became a base for the explorations of three godlike visitors, who came to be worshiped as actual deities after their departure. A temple and priesthood dedicated to them developed over succeeding generations, which held a yearly fair on the anniversary of the visitors' first arrival. The city of Ithkar grew up about the temple on the strength of the commerce the fair attracted.
The historical background provided appears science fictional in nature; the war that destroyed the previous culture is related in terms which suggest a nuclear war, complete with radiation-derived mutations of life-forms in the vicinities of the nuclear strikes, while the story of the visitors resembles an expedition of interstellar explorers. Present-day Ithkar is, however, a fantasy setting, in which wizards and sorcerers are rife, and magic works.

# California Debris Commission

The California Debris Commission was a federal commission created in 1893 by an act of Congress to regulate California streams that had been devastated by the sediment washed into them from gold mining operations upstream in the Sierra Nevada. It was created to mitigate the damage to natural seasonal river flow and navigation, which had been caused by the extensive use of hydraulic mining. The act was codified under Navigation in 33 U.S.C. Chapter 14 (§§ 661-683). Given substantial power by Congress, the commission significantly reduced the stream damage caused.
The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) had conducted similar works for the government since the beginning of the internal improvements program and it was considered the most knowledgeable organization. However, work involving California streams was outside its assigned responsibilities under the Rivers and Harbors Act. A commission was established to support the stream protection work instead of the normal Congressional House Committee on Rivers and Harbors. The commission consisted of three officers of the Corps of Engineers, appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. As with the other works, they operated under the supervision of the Chief of Engineers and under the direction of the Secretary of War, who was later replaced by the Secretary of the Army.
Hydraulic mining causes large-scale erosion where employed to move unconsolidated sediments for mineral processing; it also causes similar large-scale sedimentation in downstream areas with a decreased stream gradient. The tons of sediment moved in this man-made and natural process resulted in raising the riverbeds along the Yuba, Sacramento, and some other rivers. This in turn increased the threat of floods in areas along the rivers, including such towns as Marysville on the Yuba. Over time this sediment would eventually move downstream to other river confluences and San Francisco Bay, disrupting navigation in those channels.
Congress created the California Debris Commission to address the man-made damage and mitigate its effects. Several methods were used to solve the adverse effects. The commission dredged the sediment from the rivers and deposited it on available land nearby; in some areas they constructed larger basins to contain the debris, along the Yuba River and other rivers, the mountains of sediment were piled along its banks, effectively making levees from the debris to protect against future flooding.
Among the members of the commission were Douglas MacArthur in the early 1900s and Ulysses S. Grant III in the early 1920s.
The Water Resources Development Act of 1986 eliminated the commission, with its work now the responsibility of the Corps' South Pacific Division.

# Argimund

Argimund was a Visigothic usurper who briefly claimed the kingship in 589–590 before being put down by the legitimate sovereign, Reccared I.
Following Reccared's conversion from Arianism to Catholicism, a conspiracy, led by Sunna, the Arian bishop of Mérida, arose to at first place the Arian Segga on the throne but failed due to the plot being betrayed by one of its own named Witteric. But more uprisings followed & this one was no different as Argimund revolted in 589, somewhere in the Kingdom. In response, Reccared like with the rebellion of Segga a few years back, sent his General Claudius to put it down. The Revolt probably only lasted a short few months if not weeks, and Argimund was captured. Argimund probably had his hands cut off (like his predecessor) and was banished into Exile, his further fate afterwards are unknown.

# Arkendale

Arkendale is a village and civil parish in the Harrogate district of North Yorkshire, England. It is 6 miles (10 km) north-east of Harrogate town, and a had a population of 278 according to the 2001 census, increasing to 394 at the 2011 census. It has a pub, a village hall and a church and is close to Staveley village.
The first part of the toponym originates from Old English eorcnan, meaning probably "precious, noble, true", as in the name Archibald.
St Bartholomew's Church, Arkendale was built in 1836-7 (making it Victorian, but only just) and consecrated in 1837. It is in the 'lancet style' of the Gothic revival, in white brick with limestone ashlar, in contrast to the traditional brown local brick of the village. The architect was John Freeman. The church replaced a mediaeval building on the same site, according to information displayed in the church. The vestry on the north side was added in 1888, at which time the church was refitted 'by the munificence of Samuel James Brown' of Loftuss Hill, an act commemorated by the stained glass window at the east end.
# Ariégeois

The Ariégeois is a French breed of medium-sized scent hound from the département of Ariège in the Midi-Pyrenées region of southern France. It may have derived from cross-breeding of pack-hunting hounds such as the Grand Bleu de Gascogne or Grand Gascon-Saintongeois with local Briquet dogs. It hunts either alone or in a pack, and is used both as a courser and for driving game to waiting guns. While most successful with hares, it is also used for hunting deer and boar. It does not adapt well to urban life, and is not usually kept as a companion dog.$^{:46}$

## History

The Ariégeois is a traditional breed of the Midi-Pyrenées, and particularly of the Ariège. It may have derived from cross-breeding of pack-hunting hounds such as the Grand Bleu de Gascogne or Grand Gascon-Saintongeois with local Briquet dogs. It was officially recognised in France in 1912,$^{:164}$ and was definitively accepted by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale in 1954.

## Characteristics

The Ariégeois is similar in appearance to the Grand Bleu de Gascogne and Grand Gascon-Saintongeois, but is lighter in build and not as tall. The usual weight is approximately 25–27 kg.$^{:164}$ Dogs stand some 52–58 cm, bitches about two centimetres less. The skin is close-fitting and without wrinkles; the mucosa are black. The coat is dense, smooth and short, white or mottled white with clearly-defined black markings; there are tan markings to the face, and tan points over the eyes.$^{:164}$ The ears are soft and just long enough to reach the nose. The neck is slender and arched slightly. The feet are of long oval shape, like those of a hare, with black pads and claws; there are no dewclaws. The tail is slightly curved.

## Use

The Ariégeois is a scent hound. It may hunt either alone or in a pack, and is used both as a courser and for driving game to waiting guns. While most successful with hares, it is also used to track deer and wild boar. It is light and tough, and can work on difficult terrain and in even the thickest brush, but is not particularly fast.$^{:67}$$^{:31}$ It bays while tracking.$^{:67}$

# Arroz junto

Arroz junto (rice together) is a Puerto Rican rice dish cooked with beans and meat in one pot.

## Method

Rice, beans, and usually some kind of meat, are combined in the same pot. Sofrito, meat, olives, capers and spices are cooked in annatto oil. Annatto adds flavor and tints the rice a bright orange color. Once sofrito is cooked, rice and beans are added with liquid.

# Arogenate dehydrogenase (NAD(P)+)

In enzymology, an arogenate dehydrogenase [NAD(P)+] (EC 1.3.1.79) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
    L-arogenate + NAD(P)+ $\rightleftharpoons$ L-tyrosine + NAD(P)H + CO$_2$
The 3 substrates of this enzyme are L-arogenate, NAD$^+$, and NADP$^+$, whereas its 4 products are L-tyrosine, NADH, NADPH, and CO$_2$.
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-CH group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is L-arogenate:NAD(P)+ oxidoreductase (decarboxylating). Other names in common use include arogenic dehydrogenase (ambiguous), cyclohexadienyl dehydrogenase, and pretyrosine dehydrogenase (ambiguous).
# Art Rock Circus

Art Rock Circus is an American progressive rock band.

## Background

Art Rock Circus was founded in Las Vegas in 1995 first commissioned to perform the Rock Opera Heavens Cafe for Las Vegas-based Tributary Productions. Promoter Mike Lewis then financed and founded Tributary Records with John Miner for the purpose of creating an independent record label to support the growing resurgence of contemporary progressive rock in the 1990s.
Miner's previous work with art rock band Mantra Sunrise provided John Miner with left over material that was instrumental in the development of Heavens Cafe as a theatrical piece. The new band was formed with musicians from the Las Vegas area who were capable of executing the complexities of the material that included many odd time signatures and melodic counterpoint.
Heavens Cafe was first staged at the Flamingo Theater in Las Vegas in July 1996 with an all original cast of talent that was heavily auditioned from the extensive performing community of musicians dancers and actors. Some of the performers were auditioned from the Las Vegas Academy of Performing Arts.
The success of the theatrical stage production promoted a second run at the Charleston Performing Arts Center in 1998 then later in 2003 at the Insurgo Theater of the Arts in Los Angeles. The Art Rock Circus band performed at both of those venues with the addition of bassist Ken Jaquess and violinist Yvette Devereaux. A recording of the Las Vegas performance was released through the Tributary Music Label to the progressive rock community with strong critical acclaim and band leader John Miner was featured in issue 43 of Progression Magazine to discuss the success of Art Rock Circus and the music of Heavens Cafe.
Art Rock Circus released a follow-up album A Passage to Clear in 2001 which was also conceptual in nature. The album was again well received to the progressive rock and art rock communities, but not as well received as Heavens Cafe Live. A Passage to Clear was a story album that followed the difficulties of a female independent artist navigating the corruption of the professional art world of agents and gallery owners.
In 2005, Art Rock Circus released a double album Tell a Vision which became the band's most critically acclaimed work worldwide. The band featured musicians from both Heavens Cafe Live and A Passage to Clear sessions. The album was centered conceptually around the problematic issues of the digital age, particularly social media platforms, targeted conglomerate media corporations and the numbing effect of digital hand held devices.
In late 2005, Miner took time away from Art Rock Circus to work with K2 project with musicians Allan Holdsworth, Ken Jaquess, Ryo Okumoto and Yvette Devereaux. 2013 saw the release of Variations on a Dream which was the band's first instrumental album. The album featured keyboardist Milo Keysington who brought a more symphonic feel to the record.
