As this is no longer in use, staff are planning to install a generator which would allow the turbine to be connected to the national grid. There is no evidence that windmills will be installed over the Palace or that the Mall will be ploughed up to make way for an organic vegetable plot, but onlookers are pleased that an environmental lead is being taken by Her Majesty the Green. www.edie.net /news/news_story.asp?id=10313&channel=6   (467 words)

[WFRP] Power behind the Throne (spoilers)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) The idea is to change the way information is given to the players and also to change the structure in such a way that they will quickly understand that the only way of revealing the identity of the power behind the throne is making the council repel the tax laws. In this way the research into *all* the members of the Graf's council will become a useful part of the adventure and it will hopefully keep my players from complaining that all the hard work of breaking the cult's control over the council was more or less useless (apart from Law Lord Ehrlich of course). There is of course still the problem why "Kastor" and his friends should risk the danger of walking around close to the centre of the cult's power asking questions about everybody and drawing attention that should get them killed within a day or two... www.employees.org /pipermail/wfrp/2004-September/000423.html   (429 words)

[WFRP] Power behind the Throne (spoilers)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) Before I start let me say that I do not fear the complexity of PbtT: I have been GM for the last 16 years of my life and I have improvised adventures with over 10 different groups of NPCs involved in the same plot. PbtT assumes that the players realize that there is a plan and that they want to stop it. Do not misunderstand me: PbtT has great potential, but at the moment I see no way of unlocking it unless I would do a complete re-writing (which I have done already for Something rotten in Kislev and will do for The Empire in Flames). www.employees.org /pipermail/wfrp/2004-September/000393.html   (1379 words)

ZWNEWS.com - linking the world to Zimbabwe He understands power, and can be intimidating intellectually and with his physical presence." Bvute's cricket credentials appear almost non-existent, and his appointment in 2001 to the ZCU was as head of the Integration Implementation Committee, putting him in charge of the union's integration policy relating to the advancement of fl players. As his power grows, so does his own perception of his influence, and journalists who have dared to oppose the board have been intimidated by him. The latest indication of his status came when a source close to the ZCU revealed that Bvute had called in the Zimbabwe squad shortly before they left to take part in the Champions Trophy and told them that he was in charge and, as such, they should all call him "Sir". www.zwnews.com /issuefull.cfm?ArticleID=10265   (1395 words)

Scotsman.com Living - The power behind the throne   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) While creativity is most certainly the lifeblood of fashion, it takes more than an astute judgment about hem-lengths or a deft handling of chiffon to build a billion-euro fashion business. Behind every fashion superstar there’s invariably a business brain shrewd enough and sufficiently determined to have turned that designer’s signature into a globally recognised brand name. And so it is at Prada, where the efforts of chief executive Patrizio Bertelli have been instrumental in transforming a little-known family leathergoods business into the most influential and successful fashion force of the past decade. news.scotsman.com /features.cfm?id=569312005   (2082 words)

THE POWER BEHIND THE NOMINEE: MARVIN OLASKY, FAITH-BASED "PARTNERSHIPS," AND THE THREAT TO STATE-CHURCH SEPARATION The inspiration for this comes from a man Time Magazine recently described as "an unlikely guru." He is Marvin Olasky, a professor of Journalism at the University of Texas, and the person considered to be the architect of Bush's effort to increase the role of religion in the public sphere. Behind the talk about "compassionate conservatism," though, is a man who would seriously alter the relationship between church and state, and use religious belief as a tool in reconstructing civil society. Behind the scenes was Olasky, providing a bold -- some say dangerous and unconstitutional -- vision on everything from poverty to abortion. www.atheists.org /flash.line/elec10.htm   (3101 words)

Books | Sea power behind the throne Rodger comes very close to claiming later that the American colonies were lost because the navy was not used more sensibly by the politicians in the events leading up to 1776. Anyone with a military background or sympathies viewed the navy with suspicion, and it was eventually true that in popular esteem the sailors became "an expression of the liberty of the people, where the army was an expression of the power of the crown". Jeremy Black has also approached his subject with wide terms of reference, his basic premise being that "Sea power made the empire what it was: without sea power there would have been no empire... books.guardian.co.uk /print/0,3858,5044699-99937,00.html   (961 words)

The Jamestown Foundation The influential Yamadaev family is clearly not ready simply to fall into line behind Ramzan; in fact, Ruslan Yamadaev himself is seen by some as a possible candidate. Magomed Khambiev, former defense minister for the underground separatist government, also expressed his public support for the young Kadyrov; whatever his true feelings might be about this young man who ordered the kidnapping and torture of his relatives, he was prudent enough not to express them. Targeting a key element in Ramzan's power structure, Rogozin told a May 14 talk show on the NTV television network that the amnesty which has helped fill the ranks of the Kadyrov clan's private army should be halted. www.jamestown.org /publications_details.php?volume_id=396&issue_id=2958&article_id=236731   (1257 words)

BBC News | Europe | Oskar Lafontaine: Power behind the throne? Thomas Hanker, of the influential German newspaper Die Zeit, fears an ongoing power struggle between the chancellor and the party leader. Certainly, there were moments before and after the election when the two men appeared literally to be shouldering each other aside, and many in Germany see Mr Lafontaine as the power behind the German throne. But it could be precisely the presence of "Red Oskar" in the Finance Ministry that exacerbates the tensions between himself and the more economically conservative chancellor, especially since Germany faces key decisions on financial policy as the European Central Bank and the Euro establish themselves. news.bbc.co.uk /hi/english/world/europe/newsid_201000/201843.stm   (669 words)

Will Sonia wield power behind throne? -DAWN - International; 24 May, 2004 NEW DELHI: Manmohan Singh had barely opened the first file as India's prime minister when the carping started - he was a puppet, the real power was with Congress party leader Sonia Gandhi and she would wield it ceaselessly. Singh, the father of India's economic reforms, an Oxford-educated economist and a former central bank chief, took over as India's 13th prime minister on Saturday after Ms Gandhi decided she did not want the job and named him instead. That sentiment was underlined when the council of ministers sworn in along with Singh on Saturday contained around a dozen people identified closely with Ms Gandhi, who is Congress party president and its parliamentary leader. www.dawn.com /2004/05/24/int6.htm   (594 words)
