August 20, 1944, 05h00

Wehrmacht, Waffen-SS
"Taking the Mace was one thing. Now... now, we have to hold it!"
— Stan Jackowicz
The Mace is the thirteenth and second to last mission in Call of Duty 3 and last Polish campaign level in the game.
Characters Edit
Bohater (playable)
Papa Jack
Kolwalski (K.I.A.)
Rudinski (K.I.A.)
Olszewski (K.I.A./alive player-determined)
Nowak
Wisniewski (K.I.A./alive player-determined)
Walczak (K.I.A./alive player-determined)
Leslie Baron (K.I.A.)
Erek Slauchik
Zielinski (K.I.A)
As Corporal Bohater, the player must defend Hill 262 until Canadian reinforcements come to relieve the stranded Polish. The Polish once thought that approaching tanks were the Canadian reinforcements, but when one noticed that there wasn't any green flares, they knew that they were another wave of Germans.
First wave Edit
The first wave of German attack begins when the player enters his emplaced Sherman Firefly. The player is tasked to hold off German Panzer tanks until the players tank itself is destroyed. The player is rescued by Cpl. Rudinski. The player must fold into the trench. He fights with Ulan and Rudinski and meeting the private Olszewski whose tank is destroyed. He climbs the hill and enters the trench where he finds Papa Jack, Kolwalski and Nowak. Kolwalski was killed in an explosion.
Papa Jack gave the order to withdraw. Walczak organize the folding of the soldier. Papa Jack, Ulan, Bohater, Nowak, Wisniewski, Rudinski and Walczak meet to give the order : Ulan and Wisniewaki will go through the trenches to fight to Germans, Rudinski and Walczak cover them, Nowak and Papa Jack pass through the sides. For the player, there are two ways to go: To snipe the Germans or directly hit the trenches. The player will then be offered to take the Scoped FG-42 to take down the Germans on the hill. In Veteran, the player may want to snipe the Germans to avoid being shot. However, the player will take a lot of gunfire running down from the hill. In the trenches, take out the Germans and avoid being shot by the tank. Continue pushing forward and eventually reach the hillside bunker.
Second wave Edit
The player must advance to a small hillside with small wooden bunkers. There, Pte. Baron, the Canadian radio operator will be waiting. The player must use the artillery to hold off a barrage of tanks from taking the hill. The player is then ordered to escape to the top of the hill. Soon, Baron is killed and the player must cover Marek Ulan as he attempts to salvage the radio from Baron's jacket. Then retreat up hill to a manor house where team believes that the Canadians have broken through. However, they are mistaken, and a tank shot from below kills Rudinski, Krol, and Gorski, much to the despair of the other tank crew members. Enter the house and come out to another bunker and call in the artillery strikes. Then when the post is no longer safe, retreat up hill again. In Veteran the player will need to use a smoke grenade on the hill, because the bunker will be attacked by Germans and flanking on the left when going up hill.
Third wave and finale Edit
Take cover and hold off the Germans. After killing a set of amount of Germans, they will push forward. Fall back with Ulan. Go up and take the turn. Go prone. The barricade will be blown up and smoke grenades will be popped everywhere. Shoot them until the smoke is out. Take cover and kill them all. Before taking the Panzerschreck, pop smoke. Destroy the tank and keep shooting enemies. Soon the player will see a green smoke is popped in the middle of the Mace. Canadian fighter planes will be here.
Weapons Edit
Starting Loadout
Found in Level
Panzerschreck. Used by German Army
MP40. Used by German Army
Scoped FG42. Used by German Army
MG34. Used by German Army
Lee-Enfield. Used by Polish soldiers and Leslie Baron
Sten. Used by Polish soldiers
Browning M1919. Used by Polish soldiers
Binoculars. Used to call Artillery Strike.
Sherman Firefly's cannon. Used by Polish troops
Vehicles Edit
Sherman Firefly
The player should make note; that in this level it is the only time in the game when getting an MG34. The player should go prone or behind cover to use it. Aiming will automatically go prone and deploy it. It works like a mounted machine gun, except it must be reloaded.
A climatic theme will play automatically when the German pop smoke, and an uplifting tune will play after the Canadians arrive.
An interesting fact is that when the player points at Kowalski's dead body with the cross-hair, his name appears as if he was alive, but wounded. If laying down and looking at his face he is still blinking. Even if the player throws grenades at him, his name will go red as if on the brink of death, but go no further.
Before entering the bunker where previously meeting Pvt. Baron, the player should see two allied soldiers running to the bunker. It's possible to shoot them down without getting a "Friendly fire will not be tolerated!" message.
Private Olszewski, the character that helps the player, Rudinski, and Ulan get to Papa Jack, will always have the same name but his face always changes. If the player keeps him alive to Papa Jack, he will take cover behind some crates and the player will be able to shoot him without failing the mission.
After Rudinski is killed, the two other surviving soldiers will come with the squad into the manor house and stay there for the rest of the level, as evidenced by the mini-map.
A similar tactic is planned in the mission "Heat", where the squad holds back enemy troops and eventually waits for support.
When calling the first artillery strike in, destroy a tank on the road and leave the next tank that comes. It will drive through the destroyed tank.
During the cutscene when the player meets up with Pvt. Baron, it is possible to shoot the player's weapon. (Confirmed on the Xbox 360, Wii, PS2 and PS3).
There is a glitch on the Wii where when the first tank is destroyed, the machine gun will still shoot at the player. The gun can sometimes shoot through the mountain, causing it to sometimes continue until the finale of the level. Also, it is possible to die from wounds sustained by this. It is nearly impossible and rare to be able to hide from this.
When the player is told to defend the trenches, instead of going left, one can go right and find an FG-42 leaning against a crate.
This is the level where the most allied major characters die, being Rudinski, Kolwalski, and Baron.
When Baron dies, it is impossible to pick up his Lee Enfield.
At the field hospital, it is impossible to see most of the randomly-generated soldiers' tags.
The Battle of Hill 262 is inspired on a real event in World War II.
During the level, it is impossible to pick up the Kar98Ks Wehrmacht troops have, as the rifles disappear when they die.
This is the only Polish mission that the player fight on foot.

Apple's big services push is starting to pay off
May 1, 2019 - 8:34 am
Ravie Lakshmanan
Gone are the days when iPhones used to be the center stage of Apple's quarterly results.
Make no mistake, it is still the biggest money maker for the company, but the word "iPhone" appears just once in the Q2 earnings press release, as if it's a mere afterthought.
The reason? Smartphone revenues are no longer exciting as they used to be. iPhone sales slumped to $31.05 billion, but it was still big enough to account for over 53 percent of Apple's total revenue, down from 61.4 percent YoY.
Instead Apple chose to highlight its services division, which brought in revenues of $11.5 billion, an all-time high for the company.
Mac sales, on the other hand, were lackluster, but the iPad, and wearables, home and accessories segments reported considerable gains over the year-ago quarter.
While unfortunately the company no longer provides unit sales for its product lines, numbers provided by IDC have revealed that Apple shipped an estimated 36.4 million iPhones, a 30 percent decline from last year, causing it to lose its spot as the world's second largest smartphone vendor to Huawei.
Services has been a focus area for Apple for a while. With the smartphone market maturing and successive product upgrades becoming progressively less-than-revolutionary, Apple has been steadily looking to offset shrinking revenues with a pivot to software-oriented services like the App Store, iCloud, Apple Pay, and Apple Music.
Needless to say, the vertical is on track to become the next big money spinner for Apple, and it shows no signs of slowing down.
Earlier this March, the company took to the stage at Cupertino to unveil a trio of subscription bundles for news, games and video, inserting itself as a middleman in an ever-growing number of transactions that it hopes will lock loyal users into its walled garden, at the same time turning them into a recurring, steady source of revenue.
While the new initiatives are yet to pay off and see major returns, that Apple is taking a more open, strategic approach to bringing its content to other platforms is a sign that the tech giant is willing to be where its customers are and not just where it wants them to be, allowing it to potentially make more money in the process.

DSNE: Data Science of the Natural Environment
In DSNE, we will develop a data science of the natural environment, deploying modern machine learning and statistical techniques to enable better informed decision-making as our climate changes. While an explosion in data science research has fuelled enormous advances in areas as diverse as eCommerce and marketing, smart cities, logistics and transport, health and wellbeing, these tools have yet to be fully deployed in one of the most pressing problems facing humanity, that of mitigating and adapting to climate change. This project brings together world-leading statisticians, computer scientists and environmental scientists alongside an extensive array of key public and private stakeholder organisations to effect a step change in data culture in the environmental sciences.

Japan from Top to Turmoil and Determination to Improve
For decades Japan's economy remained at the top but during 2010 it has deteriorated so much that it came to 3rd position, behind USA and China. Newly elected PM of DPJ (Democratic Party of Japan) showed determination to change drastically or making epic changes in Agriculture and Industry as well as in business so that once again Japan's Sun rises not only in east but throughout the world. During 19th century and upto Second World War.Japan was the strongest Asian Country when China was just struggling. Japan had conquered Korea towards the close of 19th Century and ruled over it without any threat from China or even European countries like UK, Portugal and France who had conquered and dominated most of Asia including India. Indonesia and South East Asia, like Hitler's Germany in Europe, Japan in Asia, was too ambitious, Germany tried to conquer whole of Europe including the then USSR but ultimately got defeated by Allies. In their over ambitious and fascist attempt both Germany and Japan faced humiliation. To finally crush Japan, USA dropped atom bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Germany was divided. Japan lost Korea and was banned from manufacturing and keeping equipped Army. After the war Japan concentrated all its energies and initiative on economic development. This is in brief modern history of Japan upto 2000 when Japan triumphed and got top most economic status.
From 2005 to 2009 Japan helplessly faced worst political crises and stagnation in economy because there were four weak Prime ministers belonging to LDP (Liberal Democratic Party) one after the other, each remaining PM just for one year and paving the ground for another weak and inefficient PM. Four PM's in four years had never happened before. Thus it is said by Yurika Kolke of defeated LDP that Japanese PM's are like tissue papers, accordingly they were thrown into the dustbin of history for which no one in Japan was angry or felt sorry. As a consequence, it was natural in a democratic country, opposition Party DPJ, won the elections in 2009 and Naoto Kan was elected PM. It was thought, particularly by the opposition that he, too, will be meeting the same fate as 4 PM's of LDP. Even the ruling party's some leaders felt so and did not give him the support unconditionally to strengthen his position and his own party. Opposition had planned to block the budget session in spring of 2011. But new PM of Japan proved to be bold and determined and went ahead with epic making reforms in economy in all the important fields like agriculture, industry, foreign trade.
Mr. Kan's package of reforms is more radical than any during last two to three decades. His predecessors in DJP Mr. Koizum who ruled Japan for 5 years from 2001 to 2006 did not think or dared not to attempt any of such drastic reforms though he was an excellent speaker. In contrast the present PM Kan is almost a clumsy speaker and not impressive at all. But has unmatched determination to go ahead with reforms whether the opposition or even his own party stalwarts opposite it. His package of reforms to end the economic malice of more than two decades, includes social security, raise the consumption, sales tax, trade and measures to stabilize finances, more government bonds to be issued than tax revenues to emancipate the worlds one of the most indebted economy. He does not want to step down before completing all reforms in his mind. For free trade he is imitating USA and Western Countries. So he plans to join, radical free Trade countries organization known as Trans Pacific Partnership whose members are USA, Australia, Brunei, Chile, Malaysia, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore. Dr. Kan is determined to join despite all hurdles at home and abroad. His determination is his main character which his predecessors in his own party and even in opposition did not have so they not only failed and were considered like tissue papers but ruined the economy of Japan.
Latest effort by Japan to improve its economy is a bilateral agreement with India to double the trade by 2005. The bilateral agreement was signed in Tokyo by Japanese Government and India's Commerce Minister recently in Feb 2010 itself. This infact the first bilateral agreement of liberalization of economy between 9 countries which Japan under new PM Kan has decided to join but is yet to be admitted. The India-Japan bilateral agreement has come into operation which will benefit both Japan and India Japan needs precious minerals which were hitherto being imported from China which now Japan would be importing from India which is rich in precious minerals and India by importing from Japan best type of agricultural produce particularly high quality of rice will also benefit besides other imports and exports.

Somali Pirates and Unsuccessful Efforts to stop Piracy by European and UN and India's concern
In March 2010 an Indian merchant ship was high jacked by Somali pirates and all the crew members and helpers of various categories were taken hostages. They have been suffering for the last one year. Some have died, some are struggling as they are kept like prisoners and are denied even normal treatment of a prisoner. This problem of the Indian suffering in Somalia was brought to light on 16th February 2011 in a discussion on T.V. wherein parents of a couple of hostages were present and were virtually and naturally often crying, saying that they have met secretaries of defense, home and foreign affairs but there has been little response but no action all these months. They were questioning: Are they not Indians? If they are why no action has been taken to get their release. If the pirates, as from all countries whose ships have been pirated, demand ransom why it has not been negotiated and decided over a year. It is authoritatively learnt that since 2005, in particular, there has been much increase in pirate activities. During 2010 alone there have been more than 200 attacks by pirates compared to only 35 during 2005.Ransom paid during 2010 touched 238 million US Dollars, approximately 5 million dollar per ship. Why did India not negotiate and pay 4 to 5 million dollars and got the ship and hostages back to India within a month of capture of Indian ship, though a merchant ship. Total ransom would not have been more than 16 to 20 crores of Rupees. When upto 2010 because of dozen or so scams lakhs of crores have cost the country?
For instance if a son of minister, MP, MLA or close relation of civil servant had been one of the hostage of these pirates would the government have waited for a year to even negotiate his release? Certainly not. It is even now incumbent on the central government to take urgent steps, negotiate with Somali Pirates and pay the ransom decided to get the release of Indian hostages suffering for more than a year. As under our democratic constitution all Indians are equal whether they are high officials, politicians of States, whether they are rich or poor, it is hoped that Government of India will take urgent steps to bring back the Indians suffering as hostages for year and also wipe the tears from the eyes of their parents.
A fortnight back India captured about 30 Somali Pirates near Kerala and Sri Lanka Coast and they are kept as prisoners and are treated well like other prisoners, and even better, because Indian government is hopeful of getting Indian hostages from Somali Pirates in exchange to those captured and held by India. But Somali pirates have little respect or even concern for human life that is why there has been no progress in this respect. Somali pirates main concern in getting ransom in million of dollars or equivalent for each ship captured. So government of India may think seriously on this aspect and go ahead to pay ransom like other countries of 200 ships captured by these pirates, and get the Indian hostages released and back home in India and to their families.
Now about some facts about Somali pirates, their land, their culture, source of livelihood and of East African Countries which are their neighbors. International and UN effort and also effort by European Union have not been so far successful except in getting European and some other countries hostages released after payment of ransom without much delay. Somalia and adjacent Pirate region of Puntland wherefrom the pirates come are located in the Gulf of Aden, north east coast of Africa. Close to Somalia is Kenya, and Ethiopia. Of the east African countries adjoining Somalia and coast controlled by pirates from where they operate only Kenya has coast. The other two countries viz Somaliland and Ethiopia are landlocked and are helpless. As pirates don't touch Kenyan boats or ships and also as Kenyan Navy is not strong enough to intervene stop the piracy adjoining their coast and sea extending to hundreds of nautical miles. During and up to 2008 their area of piracy was quite small but it has from 2008 to 2010 extended many time more. In spite of all the efforts made by European and other powerful countries, instead of stopping piracy from year 2000, piracy by Somali pirates has become much greater threat as pirates have from 2008 onward better equipped bigger ships.
So far there has been absolute failure in controlling Somalia pirates and their piracy. Why? How the piracy started and got impetus? A decade or so back, foreign travelers, mostly unlicensed, were dumping toxic waste close to Somali coast as the weak Somali State could not protect its coast and in response to fishermen whose livelihood depended on fisheries, in response they started high-jacking foreign trawlers and even ships and got into the habit of getting ransom. Dumping of toxic waste stopped but piracy got momentum. Centre of pirates and piracy became adjoining to Somalia in the semi autonomous region of Punta-land. According to UN estimates annual ransom due to piracy was between 5 to 7 billion US dollars in 2010. i.e. between 20,000 and 30,000 crores in a year. Adjoining state of Somalia itself gets lot of foreign exchange to improve their economy and mode of living. Of course the pirates and the great beneficiaries of piracy and are enjoying the most without loss of their lives and boats and ships. Countries like India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Arab countries up to Yemen are unable to end the piracy where UN and European countries and even USA, which have greater resources like naval ships equipped best in the world ships and resources to decide firmly to end piracy by whatever means including negotiations at highest UN level and promise to give financial help to compensate fully the loss due to end of piracy and loss of ransom money in billion of dollars.

Following the New York Times' bombshell report that Donald Trump Jr. knowingly agreed to a meeting with a Russian attorney after being promised damaging information about his father's then-political opponent Hillary Clinton, and that he had been told in an email that the information came from the Russian government's efforts to elect his father, President Trump's eldest son on released the full text of the emails on Tuesday, just before the Times published another story about them. The emails show Trump Jr. enthusiastically agreeing to hear whatever dirt his Russian quarry has.
"To everyone, in order to be totally transparent, I am releasing the entire email chain," Trump wrote in a message posted to his Twitter account.
What followed were four pages of emails—slightly edited to obscure personal details—that seemingly corroborate the Times' reporting.
The emails are hardly difficult to decode.
President Donald Trump, whose White House has operated under a cloud of suspicion regarding alleged Russian influence, has yet to respond to his eldest son's latest disclosure.
