	Darkover Chronology -- Darkover (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		An age of war and strife retaining many of the decimating and disastrous effects of the Ages of Chaos.
		The lands which are later to become the Seven Domains are divided by continuous border conflicts into a multitude of small, belligerent kingdoms, named for convenience "The Hundred Kingdoms." The close of this era is heralded by the adoption of the Compact, instituted by Varzil the Good.
		During the Ages of Chaos and the time of Hundred Kingdoms, there where two orders of women who set themselves apart from the patriarchal nature of Darkovan feudal society: the priestesses of Avarra, and the warriors of the Sisterhood of the Sword.

	Encyclopedia of Arda: Second Age
		Beginning in about the 584th year since the Return of the Noldor to Middle-earth, the Second Age is the longest of the chronicled Ages.
		The Second Age was the Age of Númenor; the great island kingdom was created and peopled by the descendants of the Edain in the first years of the Age, and as the years passed, their power grew until it surpassed that of any nation of Men, before or since.
		The end of Númenor was not the end of the Second Age, though; a remnant of the Númenoreans led by Elendil escaped its wreck and founded kingdoms in Middle-earth: Arnor in the north and Gondor in the south.

	Age Differences in Second Language Acquisition
		This article supports two notions regarding second language learning: 1) older learners may have as much learning success as younger learners, and in a shorter time period; 2)integration of content teaching and language teaching is paramount in effective second language instruction.
		Research on second language learning suggests that age or age-related factors are a major variable in the acquisition of a second language for school.
		Results from studies of age differences in second language learning ability suggest that older learners progress faster through the early stages of second language learning, but that those who receive natural exposure to the second language during childhood ultimately achieve higher levels of proficiency.

		The second age was the Age of Growth, and the rise of the New Gods.
		But this age, too, ended in war: a war between the gods of the new faiths and their peoples; and the New Gods, too, left the world, though their Temples remained.
		The crowd--men and women of all ages, children and a few dogs--began to fall silent, their attention subtly shifting towards him, but for now, he ignored them, basking in the glow and warmth of the fire.

	Bible Mathematics
		A modern mother, when asked the age of her child, would count the first year of that child's life as year 0.
		This is why ages of new-borns are given in months and weeks and never in years because the modern child is not even 1 year old until the end of the first year of life.
		Some cultures in the world today still count years of life where the first year of life is "age 1" the second "age 2" and so on.

		The Nuclear Age Peace Foundation has set forth a series of needed steps that have been widely endorsed by prominent leaders, including 38 Nobel Laureates, in its Appeal to End the Nuclear Weapons Threat to Humanity and All Life.

	AVault \| PC \| Ultima Online: The Second Age Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The Second Age is a different kind of update, however: it is Ultima Online's first retail expansion, and marks the first time the actual gameworld has been expanded beyond the main continent and sub-islands.
		The Second Age marks just that -- a new age in the realm of Britannia, thanks to the discovery of a new land known only as the "Lost World." Geographically, much of the new continent is unassuming, even boring, marked by a maze of craggy hills and "broken earth"-type terrain.
		Of course, just because you have The Second Age installed doesn't mean you have to limit your adventuring to the Lost World; Britannia and its environs are fully open, and you never even have to set foot on the new continent if you so choose.

	Foreign Affairs - The Second Nuclear Age - Paul Bracken
		He is the author of Fire in the East: The Rise of Asian Military Power and the Second Nuclear Age, from which this essay is adapted.
		The rise of Asian military power heralds the beginning of a second nuclear age as different from the first, that of the Cold War, as that contest was from World War II.
		The dawning of a second nuclear age overturns fundamental strategic assumptions about both the techno-military balance and preserving Western dominance in other areas.

		And so began the dawn of the Third Age of Areth, a time characterized by furtherment of the Foundations' studies and the benevolent rule of the Elder Council.

	The Second Age of Nuclear Danger
		Therefore, defenses are deeply destabilizing--especially of the supposed keystone of the approaching age, nuclear deterrence.
		The lesson of history in the nuclear age is that nuclear weapons beget nuclear weapons.
		In short, in the new post-cold-war period, we are witnessing, in the absence of an effective movement to proceed toward the elimination of nuclear weapons, the emergence of an extremely volatile and dangerous second age of nuclear danger.

	Facing a Second Nuclear Age
		While initiatives like pre-emptive war have gotten most of the headlines (understandably, given the invasion of Iraq and its shaky aftermath), the administration is hard at work on other ways to counteract the spread of weapons like nuclear arms.
		Paul Bracken, a Yale political scientist who described the second nuclear age in "Fire in the East" (HarperCollins, 1999), argued that the danger lies not just in the spread of nuclear arms but in the culture of the second age.
		Pakistan, he said, "will be forced to use them earlier." Perhaps least-known of the administration's responses to the second age is its effort to fight arms of mass destruction with arms of mass destruction.

		One of the best things about The Second Age is the new interface screen; no more messing around in a text file or stumbling blindly through poorly arranged option screens.
		As a whole, however, the game does seem much more balanced in favor of newbies now; because many of the experienced players have moved on to the Lost World, new characters have much more room to move and grow, and there definitely seems to be decreased danger of player killer attack.
		If you've never tried UO and have been dying to, this is your opportunity; if you purchase the retail version of The Second Age, you'll get the manual, a cool double-sided map, a month of free play, and a really cool online universe to explore.

		First, on Jan. 14, President George W. Bush ordered a fundamental redirection of U.S. space policy, requiring NASA to phase out the space shuttle program and the bulk of its involvement in the International Space Station.
		Second, on March 23, the Opportunity rover, which as of that day had spent exactly two Earth months exploring the Martian surface, transmitted data back to mission controllers indicating the planet once held a large body of liquid water -- perhaps an ocean.
