 Runequest Review
If the character lands a blow with their weapon in combat, after the battle is over, they may roll the difference between their weapon skill and 100 on percentile dice.
Battle magic spells can therefore be considered unlearned (a character must be trained to use it), learned, and in memory (ready for use), or learned, but not in memory (requiring a period of time before the spell is available for use).
Most battle magic is direct: increase your chance to hit with a weapon, increase your speed, heal damage, etc. The availability of healing magic to all characters should enhance character survival considerably.

Tim Sapienza, chief of the fire department, told Harmony council and about 100 customers of the Harmony Water Authority on Tuesday that perilously low water pressure is just one of the problems that makes him believe the borough should sell its water system.
Sapienza was one of the authority customers who attended the meeting to urge council to reconsider its November vote not to sell its system to Pennsylvania-American Water Co. for $1.5 million.
Sapienza said his department has used Pennsylvania-American water lines to fight fires, and the higher pressure is noticeable.

 Ramses II: The Battle of Kadesh
The battle of Kadesh resulted from the defection of Amurru to Egypt.
The battle of Kadesh should perhaps not be called a battle in the strictest sense of the word, but rather a large-scale skirmish preceding the decisive encounter which in the end never took place.
Similarly, the advancing of Hittite forces (chariots and infantry) from their encampment to cross the Orontes, in correspondence with the line of march of Ra, would have been visible from the Egyptian camp.

Frank Sapienza, Deputy Chief of the Drug and Chemical Evaluation Section in the Office of Diversion Control, DEA, gave a presentation on trafficker reactions to chemical control.
He discussed attempts by cocaine traffickers to circumvent laws and regulations, including methods being employed to recycle and synthesize essential chemicals, and alternate substances being used to produce illicit drugs.
Sapienza concluded that although traffickers have attempted to use technical expertise to develop methods to circumvent international and national chemical control provisions, the most successful clandestine laboratories maintain simple, standard operation processes in order to provide a consistent, dependable quality product.

 Can We Learn to Live Without Nuclear Weapons? Admiral Noel Gayler Interview Transcript
SAPIENZA: If you had to give two or three immediate concrete steps of how the U.S. could lead the rest of the world toward the abolition of nuclear weapons, what would they be?
SAPIENZA: Um, let's see -- in 1996, the Canberra Commission stated that the proposition that nuclear weapons can be retained in perpetuity and never used defies credibility.
SAPIENZA: -- what your rank was at the time, what you were doing when -- when you had this -- when you questioned the utility, the military utility of nuclear weapons.

 JUST Response | Italian doctoral torture: interview with David Aliaga
For much of the guidance and training in my field work I was forced to turn to visiting foreign scholars who were carrying out their own research in the region.
I later learned that Satriani had gained a chair in ethnology at Rome’s La Sapienza university, after which it was virtually impossible to gain access to him again.
Meanwhile, some of the Italian academics who initially supported you appear to have withdrawn their support, offended by the implication that they could not have obtained their present academic posts without “raccomandazioni”.

His battle for justice has now also become a symbolic one for radical reform of a university system that punishes truth, merit and honesty and rewards conformity to a system based on a mafia mentality.
David's battle has now also become a symbolic one for pressures to brought on the Italian university system more generally in order to encourage a radical move away from an anachronistic feudal system that continues to betray all of the fundamental values normally associated with bona fide universities.
As I write, Europe's largest university, La Sapienza in Rome, is once again in the news over police investigations into the buying and selling of examinations.

 Chapter V - The Doges' Palace. I: The Interior Photo Gallery by David Chin at pbase.com
Paul Veronese depicts an allegory of the battle of Lepanto in 1571, at which Venice temporarily overcame the Turks.
Meanwhile the Greeks, hating alike Venetians, French, and the Pope, proclaimed a new king, who at once killed Alexius; and the allies prepared for battle by signing a treaty, drawn up by the wily nonagenarian, in which in the event of victory Venice took literally the lion's share of the spoils.
The great sea-fight picture on the right wall represents another battle of Lepanto, a later engagement than Venier's; the painter is Andrea Vicentino, who has depicted himself as the figure in the water; while in another naval battle scene, in the Dardanelles, the painter, Pietro Liberi, is the fat naked slave with a poniard.

 Emblems of Empire
For the Roman army, signa functioned as something akin to regimental colors, and it is impossible to overstate both their actual and symbolic importance.
On the field they were used as a rallying point, to distinguish battle positions, for signaling, to boost a legion's spirit, as a reference point for troop positions, and for soldiers to recognize each other.
The signa also played an important part in the military's religious festivals, and had their own shrines called sacella, where they were anointed in oil, draped in garlands, and accorded honors.
