Term 1 is a portmanteau of 2 distinct terms and characterizes the style of
sophisticated close-quarters action seen in ‘Heroic Bloodshed’ Hong Kong
cinema. The focus here is both style and the usage of firearms in ways that
they were not designed to be used. Firing from each hand, shots from behind
the back, as well as the use of firearms as melee weapons are all common.

Printed 17/09/2011 18:19:54
Term 2 is similar to Term 1 (one word in common) and is differentiated by a
focus on rote memorization, instead of feats of pure reflex. Through repeated
simulations and practice, practitioners are able to fire at their attacker's
position, while moving out of their attacker's most likely return fire trajectory –
this is most clearly seen in director Kurt Wimmer’s ‘Equilibrium’ and
‘Ultraviolet’

demoralized, slouching figure; fans saw it as a personification of the artist
and what he was trying to convey with the album. Soon it also became the
official brand logo on clothes sold in the artist’s online store.

Album 2: Entering the university on the front cover, it wanders its

hallways, sits in empty lecture halls, and reads multiple library books
before departing from the institution the same way it came in on the back
cover.

Album 3: The story begins on a rainy day with it running out of its
apartment to the car, modeled after a DeLorean. When the car's engine

dies, it attempts to hail a cab but it speeds right past him, soaking him
with puddle water; it then tries to get onto a metro rail but just misses it as
it pulls away. With no other options, it races down sidewalks populated
with multi-eyed, living mushrooms and is pursued by a monstrous rain
cloud that attempts to swallow it whole. Eventually, it arrives at the
university and stands before his colleagues. The story concludes with it
being catapulted from the university into the sky on the back cover.

Stretching from the Baltic to the North Sea and inland during the Late Middle Ages and early modern
period (ca 13th–17th centuries), this was created to protect commercial interests and privileges
granted by foreign rulers in cities and countries visited by merchants. Cities within its ambit had their
own legal system and furnished their own protection and mutual aid. Despite this, it was not a city-
state, nor can it be called a confederation of city-states.

Its legacy is remembered today in the form of names of a large company, in flags and even in names
of football clubs. 3 large German cities continue to style themselves officially as "Free ________

This was a term used most often in the murder of a commanding officer
(C.O.) or a senior noncommissioned officer perceived as unpopular, harsh,
inept or overzealous. As wars dragged on, soldiers became less keen to go
into harm's way and preferred leaders with a similar sense of self-

preservation. This was also common if a commander freely took on
dangerous or suicidal missions, especially if he was seeking glory for
himself. Sometimes warnings would be given to the target by placing a
grenade pin on his bed.

Underground GI newspapers sometimes listed bounties offered by units
against unpopular commanding officers. Throughout Vietnam, there were

Evolving out of the norteño folk tradition, this can be heard on both sides of
the US–Mexican border, using a danceable, accordion-based polka as a
rhythmic base. Known as the Hispanic equivalent of Gangster Rap, this
tradition is said to date back to the 1930s when the underlying events first
began.

Like rap/hip-hop and other genres, they describe the lives of the poor,
destitute and helpless, particularly those who seek power in a violent manner.
However, what is amusing about them is that lyrics mostly refer to specific
events and people and include real dates and places, often at the express
request of customers who commission them to commemorate their acts.

The more urbanized younger citizens of this country (half the population is
under 20, by the way) refer to their nation as “______” or “____”, slang terms
that imply a love of “the food, the flamboyant dressing, the mannerisms, the
boisterous—some say loud—interaction among complete strangers”. While

youngsters sprinkle their conversation with this phrase and bandy it about as a
symbol of their passionate patriotism, elders have tried to ban these terms,
citing them as plain embarrassing.

The terms themselves are derived from the pidginized version of their nation’s
name in English, the language that holds disparate parts of the country
together.

Ruler of most of India between 1719 and 1748, history’s judgment of this
man is bipolar. While some say he was a gifted administrator who promoted
the arts, detractors say he spent most of his reign in a drug-induced haze. In
any case, he was a wily survivor whose reign witnessed among other things:
Institution of Urdu as a court language & the abandonment of traditional

Timurid dress in court
The popularization of the Khayal as a musical form
Significant losses of territory and authority to the Marathas, who at one
point occupied Delhi and let him continue ruling as a puppet
The worst sack of Delhi in history, with the invaders departing after
puzzlingly leaving him alive and in fact, re-crowning him Emperor

originated from pre-Islamic history, derived from the name of a local satrap.
However, Soviet expansionists brutally annexed it barely two years later.

Although the proclamation restricted its claim to historically undisputed

Since 1936, this event has been held annually in the first week of July between the
two teams. The tournament is held in a spectacular venue at an elevation of
3,700 meters. The event also includes Folk music, dancing and a camping village is
set up.

The 2 teams have always played the sport closest to its original form. What is
interesting is that there are no umpires and there are no holds barred, i.e. there are
no rules. In order to decide the final teams, preliminary matches are played in both
local leagues to select the best players. The final game itself is divided into two
halves, with a 10 minute interval.

Originally developed in 1950 by Laboratoire Dauphinois d'Hydraulique in
Grenoble, France, this was a patented product purchased by several cities
and governments. It is no longer protected by a patent, and is widely used
all over the world and produced by many contractors.

This product has inspired several variants, including the Modified Cube
(U.S., 1959), the Stabit (U.K., 1961), the Akmon (Netherlands, 1962), the
Dolos (South Africa, 1963), the Seabee (Australia, 1978), the Accropode

Several possible origins of this name:

Association with the City of ________, and the supposed endorsement of
the fourth Earl of __________ (1730–1803), who spent much of his life
traveling Europe, demanding high standards of hospitality.

Another suggestion is that the city of _________ was "where the concept of
modern hotels was born when, for the first time, an inn separated customers
from their horses and created rooms for customers and special spaces for
horses".

The name may have become popular in part because ‘________' is easy to

Printed 17/09/2011 18:19:54

It is, however, hard to discover this name before 1870. About 150 by this name
remain today, mostly in France, Italy, Switzerland and Germany and one in

For a product to be labeled ____A____ , it must be aged in oak barrels for at least
three years. Historically, casks previously used for ___B____ were used (because
casks were expensive, and second-hand ____B____ casks were readily available
due to exports from Jerez in Spain. In fact, ___B___ is an anglicization of Jerez).

Today, ___C____ production is a nearly inexhaustible generator of second-hand
barrels for the ___A___ trade, due to a regulation requiring the use of only new,

freshly charred oak barrels in the maturation of __C__.

Historically, the production of ___A___ was restricted to only 4 recognized regions:

•___D___ and ___E___ (where ___D___ and ___E___ are geographical
opposites)

•___G___ (named after a clan, this region temporarily lost its status as a
recognized region because all but 3 local production centres shut down due to US
prohibition and the Great Depression, but has since regained recognized status)

Recently, another region has emerged with recognized status:
• ___H___, named after a river, this area has the maximum concentration of
distilleries in the whole country

The reason ____A___ became popular was quite peculiar: it was the event known
as The Great French Wine ___I___, (I being the generic term for rapid and
complete chlorosis of plants under attack from pathogenic organisms).

This event devastated the French economy for 15 years, with the French
government offering 320,000 francs as a prize for anyone who could fix the issue –

Leo Laliman solved the problem by _________J_________, which permanently
changed the taste of French (or even European) wine forever. However, the
French refused to give him the prize, insinuating he could have been the cause for
the problem in the first place.

The earliest form of this was between Paderborn and Le Mans in 836 AD.
The first recorded modern one was between Keighley and Poix-du-Nord in
1920 following the end of World War I.

The practice was continued after the WW2 as a way to push through cross-

border projects of mutual benefit. For example, Coventry did this with
Volgograd and with Dresden, all three cities having been heavily bombed
during the war. This practice implies representation in a specific ward of the
city and a garden dedicated to the arrangement in each ward.

Within Europe, this program has an annual budget of about 12 million euros,
allocated to about 1,300 projects.

Around 1830, a London merchant received a letter talking about some fabric;
the London merchant misinterpreted the handwriting, understanding it to be a
trade-name taken from a river that flows in that area. Subsequently the product
was advertised as such and the name remained ever since.

During the economic difficulties of the potato famine of 1846-7, the Countess of

Dunmore recognized its sales potential, localized production to one
geographical area (which was prefixed to the fabric’s name) and sought to
widen the market by removing irregularities caused by dyeing, spinning and
weaving (all done by hand) in order to bring it in line with machine-made cloth,
which resulted in increased sales and a cult following.

In 2004 the American company Nike used the fabric to produce limited edition

logo. The product pursued a long-running legal case to stop her using the trade
mark but Westwood won by being able to point to three minor differences
between her logo and the product’s.

Dilmun was a trade distribution center for goods originating that might be in
