For the Win
by Cory DoctorowA provocative and exhilarating tale of teen rebellion against global corporations from the New York Times bestselling author of Little Brother, a a call to arms for a new generation. Not far in the future, in the twenty-first century, it's not just capital that's globalized: labour is too. Workers in special economic zones are trapped in lives of poverty with no trade unions to represent their rights. But a group of teenagers from across the world are set to fight this injustice using the most surprising of tools - their online video games. In Industrial South China Matthew and his friends labour day and night as gold-farmers, amassing virtual wealth that's sold on to rich Western players, while in the slums of Mumbai 'General Robotwallah Mala Marshalls and her team of online thugs on behalf of the local gang-boss, who in turn works for the game-owners. They're all being exploited, as their friend Wei-Dong, all the way over in LA, knows, but can do little about. Until they begin to realize that their similarities outweigh their differences, and agree to work together to claim their rights to fair working conditions. Under the noses of the ruling elites in China and the rest of Asia, they fight their bosses, the owners of the games and rich speculators, outsmarting them all with their unbeatable gaming skills. But soon the battle will spill over from the virtual world to the real one, leaving Mala, Matthew and even Wei-Dong fighting not just for their rights, but for their lives.

Yoga, Forward Bend Standing Posture (large print)
by RnibThis image can only give an insight into what yoga is. It cannot be used alone as a training / user guide. The posture is only one from hundreds of possibilities and cannot be used in isolation. Yoga must be taught with breathing exercises and sequencing of postures. Each posture involves a timed procedure of movement, breathing and focused thought, not a static exercise position.

Sports Car 2 (UEB uncontracted)
by RnibThis page shows an image of a side view of a red sports car with the front on the right and the rear of the car on the left of the page. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. On the left of the page one of the two rear vertical spoilers can be found sticking up. The other rear vertical spoiler is on the other side of the car and cannot be found. They are joined together by a flat horizontal spoiler which also cannot be found. Down from the spoiler are three vents. Just down from the vents is a decorative line which runs along the side of the whole car. To the right is the rear wheel with five wide spokes. Up the page from the wheel is the rear window which slopes up very gently away from the rear of the car. It is nearly horizontal. To the right is the car's low roof. Down from the roof is the driver's side window with a smaller triangular window to the left and right. In the bottom right of the windows is a wing mirror sticking out towards you. To the right is the side of the sloping front windscreen. In the centre of the car is a rectangular driver's door with rounded corners. A long shape which narrows to the right runs along the top left of the door. It overlaps onto the body of the car on the left. This is a curved indent in the car so the top of the door curves in. It has a door handle in it. The door gets deeper to the left where there is an opening (not shown) into the rear positioned engine. This provides air to the engine for combustion. There is a similar but smaller indent to the right of the rear wheel. To the right is the front wheel. To the right of the wheel some of the headlight on the front of the car is shown. The car is extremely streamlined and very low to the ground.

Rugby (UEB uncontracted)
by RnibThis page has three images on it: a player tackling an opponent, a player making a touchdown and scoring a try, and a diagram showing the layout of a rugby pitch. Each image has a dashed line image border. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. A player tackling an opponent: The image on the top left of the page shows two players and a ball. The player in the centre of the image is seen from the side and facing left, so only one eye can be found. He has his arms stretched out to the left and down holding a rugby ball. An opponent is attempting to get hold of this leg to make him fall to the ground and release the ball. The player on the left wears a white shirt and blue shorts. The player on the right wears a green shirt and shorts (large print copy). A player making a touchdown and scoring a try: The image on the bottom left of the page shows two players and a ball. The player on the left of the image is seen from the side and facing left and down, so only one eye can be found. He has passed the try line and is bending down as he runs. The arm and hand to the left is holding the ball which is about to be smacked down onto the ground. The player on the right is also running and trying to catch his opponent on the left to stop a try being scored. His arms are held out to the left. Diagram of a rugby pitch: This diagram on the right of the page shows the rugby pitch and fifteen members of each team. The players are represented here by large dots and crosses. At the top of the image there is a solid line which is the dead ball line which marks the start of the pitch. Down the page from this is the goal area where touchdowns are made to score tries. Down again is a second solid horizontal line, the try line. There are two small circles representing the goal posts in the middle of this line. The next line down is the 22 metre line and the next line is dashed which is the 10 metre line. In the middle of the image is the halfway line going across the image horizontally. Down from the centre line is the opposing team's goal and pitch area. This is a mirrored copy of the top half of the image. The vertical line on the left is one of the sidelines or touchline. Just to the right is a vertical dashed line. This marks the front of a lineout. Right again is a second dashed line which is the maximum lineout. Right of the centre of the image is a third dashed line, the other maximum lineout. Right of this is the other front of a lineout dashed line. The last vertical line on the right is solid which is the other sideline marking the edge of the pitch. Only the side lines run the entire length of the pitch. The dashed lines stop at the try lines. The players in the bottom half of the pitch represented by circles all have a name which relates to their role within the team. Just down from the halfway line are the forwards who are in the scrum when there is one. In the first row of three, the one to the left and right are props and the one in the middle is the hooker. The next row of two are simply called the second row. In the next row of three, the one to the left and right are flankers and the one in the middle is the Number 8. In the middle of this team's half of the pitch is a row of four players going to the left and down the page slightly. From the right they are the scrum-half, fly-half, inside centre and outside centre. At the bottom of the page is the left wing and right wing at the edge of the page. In the bottom centre, just up from the goal posts is the full back. The opposition team have the same formation but in a mirrored pattern. Pitch sizes vary slightly across the country. On average they are 100 metres long and 70 metres wide.

Racing Horse and Jockey (UEB uncontracted)
by RnibThis page shows an image of a galloping horse and its rider. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left when the image is the correct way up. The horse is shown from the side with its head on the left and its tail on the right. On the left of its head is a large flaring nostril allowing the horse to suck in lots of air. Down from this is its closed mouth. To the right is the bit which is in the horse's mouth as well. There is a ring attached to the bit. Bridle straps go from the ring around various parts of the horse's head. Up from the ring is one of the horse's two eyes. Up and right from here a backward pointing ear sticks up. Right from the ear is the hairy mane sticking up from the horse's neck. The rein goes from the ring to the right and disappears into the mane. It is being held by the jockey on the other side of the horse's neck. Right from the neck is the horse's body. Down from the body are four legs, some are bent sharply as the horse gallops. On the right of the page the horse's tail flies out to the right. Up from the body of the horse is the jockey in a crouched position. He is seen from the side so only one leg, one arm and hand, and part of one arm is shown. He is bending forward so that his face is just up from the horse's mane. He wears a large pair of goggles so his eye cannot be found. He has a green jockey's cap on his head. Down and right from his cap you will find his bent arm with his hand holding a riding crop (whip). His leg is sharply bent and he wears a riding boot on his lower leg. The boot is held in the stirrup and this takes his full weight as he is not actually sitting on the horse. Down from the jockey's bottom is the saddle on the horse's back. This is held in place with a broad strap that goes around the horse's belly.

Down from this is its closed mouth. To the right is the bit which is in the horse's mouth as well. There is a ring attached to the bit. Bridle straps go from the ring around various parts of the horse's head. Up from the ring is one of the horse's two eyes. Up and right from here a backward pointing ear sticks up. Right from the ear is the hairy mane sticking up from the horse's neck. The rein goes from the ring to the right and disappears into the mane. It is being held by the jockey on the other side of the horse's neck. Right from the neck is the horse's body. Down from the body are four legs, some are bent sharply as the horse gallops. On the right of the page the horse's tail flies out to the right. Up from the body of the horse is the jockey in a crouched position. He is seen from the side so only one leg, one arm and hand, and part of one arm is shown. He is bending forward so that his face is just up from the horse's mane. He wears a large pair of goggles so his eye cannot be found. He has a green jockey's cap on his head. Down and right from his cap you will find his bent arm with his hand holding a riding crop (whip). His leg is sharply bent and he wears a riding boot on his lower leg. The boot is held in the stirrup and this takes his full weight as he is not actually sitting on the horse. Down from the jockey's bottom is the saddle on the horse's back. This is held in place with a broad strap that goes around the horse's belly.

Paralympic Sailing with Sonar and 2.4mR Sail Boats (UEB contracted)
by RnibThis page shows two images: A Sonar class boat with a crew of three on the left of the page, and a 2.4mR boat on the right with its single sailor. The crew of the Sonar boat are of mixed levels of disability. A person racing in a 2.4mR may have a disability ranging from minimal to very severe. Each image has a dashed line image border. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. Sonar with a crew of three (left). The top of the mast (the upright pole that supports the sails) is in the top centre of the image. It has the curved, triangular mainsail attached to it at the top left. Further down the mast, the foresail (jib) is attached on the right. All the sails continue down the page. The foresail and the mainsail have horizontal lines going across them. These represent battens: thin strips of stiff material to reinforce the sails and stop them fluttering. The mainsail to the left is attached to a horizontal pole called a boom. There are three crew members. At the far left is a person sitting in the stern (back) of the boat, facing to the left with only the top half her body visible. To the right of her is a sailor standing with his back facing you. His lower legs are hidden by the side of the boat. He has one arm raised to the left; the other arm is amputated below the elbow. Right from him there is a sailor sitting facing right with her arms stretched out to the right. Down from the sailors is the hull (body) of the boat. At the bottom of the hull is the keel in the middle and the rudder to the left. 2.4mR with a single sailor (right). This image shows the 2.4mR and its sailor from the side, facing left. Part of the hull is in cut-away view to show the sailor inside the boat. The top of the mast is in the centre of the image. It has the curved, triangular mainsail attached to it at the top right. Further down the mast, the foresail is attached on the left. All the sails continue down the page. They have horizontal lines going across them representing battens.
