These are parts of the guidelines for all schools throughout the U.S.

Eric Hufschmid
Eric Hufschmid is a researcher of the September 11th terrorist attacks and now works as an anti-Zionist / anti-Semitic newshound and social philosopher. He and his readers regard him as independent; his detractors as utterly paranoid.

Hufschmid was among the first out of the gate to expose what is contended to be a criminal conspiracy behind the 9/11 attacks with his book and video "Painful Questions." He contended, among other things common to the 9/11 Truth Movement, that there was a major cover-up, and that it can be proven through the physical evidence alone. The book was full of many high-quality photographs and he was invited to Connie Bryan and Alex Jones' TV and radio shows.

Since that time he has worked with fellow researchers Daryl Bradford Smith and Christopher Bollyn. There has been some kind of falling out among them, and now they have all gone their separate ways; or, as Eric would have it, Bollyn was possibly kidnapped by enemies from the Israeli government. He contends this is so because of Bollyn's strange behavior and his inability to establish proper contact with him.

Nowadays Hufschmid updates his website with his take on the news as it relates to Jews and Israel (he is against both) and his once-a-month audio files which contain ideas about how to improve the world and how to get rid of the alleged "Jewish crime network."

Ariel (obernewtyn chronicle)
A character from Isobelle Carmody's series, "Obernewtyn Chronicles", Ariel is considered to be the principal antagonist of the series despite only appearing prominently in the first book. In all other books he appears only in flashbacks, dream sequences, hallucinations and once (though briefly) in person.

Character development
When Ariel was introduced he was described as being around 11-13 years of age which belied his sadistic qualities. Over the course of the books he has matured to manhood. While the timeline of the books has never been specific it's impossible to calculate his current age but he's probably between 18 and 21. While he's glimpsed only fleetingly after the first book many things about his nature appear to have progressed, namely his lust for power and desire for vengeance. While he's been attached to Madam Vega, Alexi Seraphim, Henry Druid, Salamander, the Council and the Herder Faction it's doubtful he's ever felt any true loyalty to any of them and merely use them to exploit his own rise in power. This is exemplified by him betraying Henry Druid to the Council, shortly before helping to evacuate Henry Druid's encampment in order to sell them as slaves to Salamander.

Appearance
As Ariel has aged through puberty throughout the book series, he has obviously changed in appearance (in fact when Elspeth first saw him in "Ashling", several years after the last time she'd seen him in "Obernewtyn" she didn't immediately recognise him) but some things about his appearance have remained constant. He's described as being impossibly pale with shoulder length white blond hair, grey eyes and transparent eyelashes. He likes to accentuate this paleness by dressing only in white and furnishing his living quarters in white. He is however described as sometimes wearing a black cape. From "Ashling" onwards (after he's grown to manhood) he's said to be quite tall (probably roughly 6') and possessing an unearthly, angelic beauty.

Powers
Ariel is described by Domick as an Empath turned inside out. He also has weak coercive abilities. While most Empaths tend to be of mild personality, Ariel's defective mind makes him revel in others pain. Using a combination of coercion and empathy he can control people to suit his own ends and even unhinge minds as shown by his torture of Domick. He coerced Domick to imagine he was torturing Kella, his bondmate, to death and used his empathy to make Domick think he was enjoying it. The combination of these two powers would explain why he has such a strangle hold over the council, the herder faction and Henry Druid.

Relationships with other characters
While he can, when he chooses, be very charismatic Ariel feels no true affection for anyone but himself and those he surrounds himself with are disposable once they've exhausted their use to him. He does however have a particular hatred of Elspeth and Rushton as they were responsible for his initial fall from power. Of all the protagonists, Matthew holds the deepest hatred of Ariel after Ariel killed his love interest Cameo in the first book. Dameon, having probed Ariel with his empathy talent, says Ariel reminds him of something sweet smelling which you only realise once you've gotten closer to it is the smell of something rotten.

Theories
It's believed by Elspeth and some readers that Ariel is the legendary "Destroyer", the antithesis of Elspeth's "Seeker" persona. This was reinforced by Gahltha in "the Keeping Place". When Elspeth asked him if Ariel is the destroyer, Gahltha replied "Ariel is H'Rayka", H'Rayka being beastspeak for "One Who Brings Destruction". Elspeth believed that Gahltha was confirming her belief however since Isobelle Carmody has explicitly said that Ariel is not necessarily the Destroyer and later said that the Destroyer is someone completely unexpected this throws doubt on Elspeth's supposition. A possible explanation would be that the meaning of H'Rayka should be taken literally and that Ariel is not the Destroyer but the one who will bring them to their eventual fate. He is certainly fully aware of Elspeth's quest and intends to thwart it though for what reason we don't yet know.

Hezekiah Frith
Hezekiah Frith, Sr. (1763-1848) was an 18th century British ship owner who, known as a "gentleman privateer", engaged in piracy during the 1790s. One of the richest men in Bermuda during the late 18th and early 19th century, he built the Spithead House in Warwick, Bermuda.

He was married three times, his daughters all marrying Presbyterian ministers, and his son Hezekiah Frith, Jr. became a prominent religious figure. Heather Nova, a popular Jamaican singer and songwriter with Lillith Fair, is a decendent of Frith.

Biography
Born in Bermuda, he was one seven children born to Captain William Frith and Sarah Lee. As a successful shipowner during the 1780s and 90s, he became engaged in privateering and smuggling from which he reportedly made his fortune. He often used mixed slaves and free men for his crews and, in August 1796, he slipped into the French port of Cap Français at San Domingo during the night and stole away a captured British transport ship.

His piratical career is, at times, colorful although may very likely be exaggertated. Participating on a number of privateering expeditions with the Royal Navy, he is supposed to have horded treasure from at least two captured ships in his store he operated next to the Spithead House; he supposedly used the water tank at Spithead to smuggle captured goods and other valuble items before filing claim at the Customs House. Frith is also claimed to have rescued (or kidnapped) a Frenchwoman whom he kept there as a mistress, both are said to haunt the home according to local lore. The home would later be owned by dramatist Eugene O'Neill, Sir Noel Coward and Charlie Chaplin.

The Granaway home on Harbor Road, for whom he had built for his daughter, was later bought by a family of free blacks decended from a slave known as Caprice who had originally been brought to Bermuda on a ship captured by Hezekiah Frith on one of his voyages. Adele Tucker, a well-known Jamaican educator and co-founder of Bermuda Union of Teachers, grew up in the home.

Black Caesar (pirate)
Black Caesar (d. 1718) was an 18th century African pirate. For nearly a decade, he raided shipping from the Florida Keys and later served as one of Captain Blackbeard's chief lieutenants aboard the Queen Anne's Revenge. He was one of the surviving members of Blackbeard's crew following his death at the hands of Lieutenant Robert Maynard in 1718. Caesar's Rock, one of three islands located north of Key Largo, is the present-day site of his original headquarters and named in his honor.

Biography
Henri Caesar, according to traditional accounts, was a prominent African tribal war chieftain. Widely known for his "huge size, immense strength, and keen intelligence", he evaded capture from many different slave traders. Caesar was finally captured when he and twenty of his warriors were lured onto a ship by a slave trader. Showing him a watch, the trader promised to show him and his warriors more objects which were "too heavy and too numerous to bring on shore" if they came aboard his ship. He enticed them to stay with food, musical instruments, silk scarves and jewels, however he had his men raise anchor and slowly sail away. When Caesar discovered what was happening, he and his men attempted to charge their captors but were driven back by the well-armed sailors using swords and pistols. Although it took a considerable length of time for he and his warriors to accept their captivity, he was eventually befriended by a sailor and was the only man he would accept food and water from.

As they neared the coast of Florida, the sudden appearance of a hurricane threatened to wreck the ship on the Florida Reefs. Recognizing the ship's imminent destruction, the sailor snuck below decks and freed Caesar. The two then forced the captain and crew into a corner, most likely at gunpoint, and boarded one of the longboats with ammunition and other supplies. The wind and waves pushed them to shore where they waited out the storm, apparently the only survivors of the doomed ship.

The soon began using the lifeboat to lure passing ships which stopped to give assistance. While posing as shipwrecked sailors, they would sail out to a vessel offering to take them aboard. Once they were close enough however, they brought out their guns demanding supplies and ammunition threatening to sink the ship if they were refused. He and the sailor continued this ploy for a number of years and amassed a sizable amount of treasure which was buried on Elliot Key. However, he and the sailor had a falling out over a young woman the mate had brought back from one of the ships they had looted. Fighting over her, Caesar killed his longtime friend in a duel and took the woman for his own.

He began taking on more pirates over time and soon was able to attack ships on the open sea. He and his crew were often able to avoid capture by running into Caesar's Creek and other inlets between Elliot and Old Rhodes Key and onto the mangrove islands. Using a metal ring embedded in a rock, they ran a strong rope through the ring, heel the boat over, and hide their boat in the water until the patrol ship or some other danger went away. They might also lower the mast and sink the ship in shallow water, later cutting the rope or pumping out the water to raise the boat and continue raiding. It is thought that he and his men buried 26 bars of silver on the island, although no treasure has ever been recovered from the island.

He apparently had a harem on his island, having at least 100 women seized from passing ships, as well as a prison camp which he kept prisoners in stone huts hoping to ransom them. When leaving the island to go on raids, he left no provisions for these prisoners and many eventually starved to death. A few children reportedly escaped captivity, subsisting on berries and shellfish, and formed their own language and customs. This society of lost children give rise to native superstition that the island is haunted.

During the early 1700s, Caesar left Biscayne Bay to join Blackbeard in raiding American shipping in the Mid-Atlantic serving as a lieutenant on his flagship Queen Anne's Revenge. In 1718, after Blackbeard's death battling with Lieutenant Robert Maynard at Ocracoke Island, he attempted to set off the powder magazine as per Blackbeard's instructions. However, Caesar was stopped by one of the their captives who tackled him as prepared to light a trail of gunpowder leading to the magazine. He struggled with the man below decks until several of Maynard's sailors were able to restrain him. Taken prisoner by Virginian colonial authorities, he was convicted of piracy and hanged in Williamsburg, Virginia.

In popular culture

 * The descendants of Caesar and his crew are depicted in Albert Payson Terhune's 1922 novel Black Caesar's Clan which describes people living near Caesar's Creek who chase off treasure hunters looking for Caesar's lost treasure.

Henri Caesar
Henri Caesar, also known as Black Caesar, (fl. 1791-1830) was an 19th century Haitian revolutionary and pirate. He was a participant in the Haitian Revolution under Dutty Boukman and Toussaint Louverture as well as active in piracy for nearly a 30-year period during the early 19th century.

Biography
Henri Caesar was born to a slave family kept by a French plantation owner known as Arnaut. He worked as a houseboy on the estate and, as a young man, worked in the lumberyard. He was apparently mistreated by the supervisor and later killed the man during the slave insurrection, torturing him with a saw. Joining the rebel forces led by Dutty Boukman and Toussaint Louverture, he remained with the revolution until its independence from France in 1804, when he left to try his luck at sea. Based in Port-de-Paix, he captured a Spanish ship in 1805 and soon began attacking small villages and lone vessels near Cuba and the Bahamas. Adopting the name Black Caesar, he was very successful during his piratical career before his disappearance in 1830. Although his fate is unrecorded, he most likely fled the area after President Andrew Jackson ordered an expedition against pirates active on the Florida coast after its purchase by the United States in 1828. There is one story of his capture in west Florida and, taken to Key West, was tied to a tree and burned to death. The widow of a preacher, whose eyes had been burned out under torture from Black Caesar, had been used to light the fire.

He is supposed to have buried between $2 and $6 million at several locations throughout the Caribbean including Pine Island, White Horse Key, Marco Island, Elliot Key and Sanibel Island, although none has ever been recovered. He is said to have been associated with another pirate, Jose Gaspar or Gasparilla, however his existence is doubted among historians.

In popular culture

 * The 1980 book Black Caesar, Pirate by Cliff Gardner, which gives a fictionalized account of his life, is the first biography of his to be published.

Diabolito
Diabolito or Little Devil (d. April 1823) was a 19th century Cuban pirate. One of the more violent pirates of the era, he actively engaged the United States navy and was one of the main fugitives pursued during later American naval expeditions in the Carribean during the 1820s.

Biography
The Cuban-born Diabolito became known as a particularly dangerous pirate operating from his home island during the early 1800s. He among others were identified as when President James Monroe authorized the formation of of an anti-piracy squadron to combat attacks on American shipping and naval forces occuring off the Florida coast. Based in Key West, the Mosquito Fleet under Commodore David Porter, a veteran of the Barbary expedition and the War of 1812, the fleet began patrolling the Gulf of Mexico and the Carribean. Diabolito and other Cuban-based pirates were easily able to escape from American vessels, either escaping into the back country of the Florida Keys or retreating to Cuba where Porter's forces were unable to pursue. As the years past however, Cuban ship owners and other businessmen petitioned for authorities to cooperate with The United States. Spanish officials were unable to continue turning a blind eye to piracy, which often often amounted to attacks on lone merchant vessals and fishing boats, and agreed to assist in hunting down Diabolito and others.

In April 1823, Diabolito encountered Porter and were cornered off the northern coast of cuba. After a brief fight, he and his crew abandoned their ships and flee inland.

Isaac Rochussen
Isaac Rochussen (1631-1710) was a 17th century Dutch corsair and privateer. His capture of the The Falcon, a merchantman belonging to the East India Company, was one of the most valued ships captured during the late 1600s.

Biography
Isaac Rochussen was born in the city of Vlissingen, although little of his life is recorded. An active corsair sometime during the First and Second Anglo-Dutch War, he captured the English East India merchantman The Falcon near the Scilly Isles on July 7, 1672. The prize was sold at as 350,000 gilders, the highest paid for the time when an average ship and cargo went for only a few thousand or, at best, tens of thousands of gilders. The Falcon was thereafter referred to by the Dutch as De Gouden Valk (or The Golden Falcon). Rochussen himself received a gold medal from the ships´ owner for this capture. He later became a successful privateer in his later years, a trade followed by his son Isaac Rochussen, Jr., before his death in 1710.

Qualified Internet Communications Provider (QICP)
The Qualified Internet Communication Provider (QICP) certification process was established by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to allow weather vendors the ability to provide meteorological data via the public Internet. Established standards must be met in order for a weather vendor to receive QICP approval.

Advisory Circular 00-62, Internet Communications of Aviation Weather and NOTAMs, provides guidance on the certification process as well as outlines the expected standards that need to be maintained. A three step process is required: application submission; capability demonstration, and then final approval with the requirement to submit semi-annual system performance statistics.

Three standards must be met in order to receive QICP approval and status: network infrastructure reliability, accessissibility, and security. The FAA grants QICP approval based on system integrity and transmission of data (e.g. accuracy, timeliness) only, not the quality of a vendor's weather content and/or data.
