I recently replaced my WiFi access point, an ancient Linksys WRT54G v3.1. I was looking for something that supported simultaneous dualband, multiple SSIDs, and VLANs. I also wanted something that could run OpenWRT.
I ended up buying the TP-Link TL-WDR3600 because it met all these criteria and was available for less than 50 €. After using it for a few months, I can definitely recommend it: The wireless coverage is good, it supports Multi-SSID just fine, and the internal switch is fully VLAN-capable (and easy to configure using the OpenWRT LuCI web interface).
My only complaint is that in the 5 GHz band (5150 MHz – 5250 MHz), OpenWRT limits me to 50 mW of output power (the Linux kernel has a limit of 100 mW), even though I could legally run up to 200 mW. These lowest four channels of the 5 GHz Wifi band don't even require TPC (transmission power control) or DFS (radar detection) in Germany, making the limitation completely unnecessary.
The TL-WDR3500, TL-WDR4300 and TL-WDR4310 are identical to the TL-WDR3600 save the radio module, so the instructions here should apply to them as well.
Hook up your computer to an Ethernet port on the WDR3600.
Download openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-wdr3600-v1-squashfs-factory.bin and upload it using the factory web interface at http://192.168.0.1 (do not rename the file or it might not update).
After it reboots, renew your DHCP lease (OpenWRT uses a different subnet by default) and telnet 192.168.1.1. There, run passwd to set a password, then hit Ctrl-D to disconnect. Now you can ssh root@192.168.1.1.
Now you can scp root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/*.backup ~/Desktop to get them off the device.
Now you can easily configure everything the way you want it (but please don't ask questions in the comments about the specific configuration: the OpenWRT forums are a much better place for that).
The device will eventually reboot and come up with the new firmware. Your configuration should still be present.
If you've locked yourself out, it's easy to get back in: unplug the device, plug it back in and as soon as one of the LEDs on the front starts flashing, push and hold the WDS button. Release it when that LED starts flashing a lot faster.
Now, set your computer to a static IP of 192.168.1.x with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and telnet 192.168.1.1. Now you can reset your password (passwd), change configuration variables (uci), or do a factory reset (firstboot). When you're done, reboot -f to return to the normal operation mode.
It is possible to brick your device with OpenWRT. All the commands above are provided without warranty, so use at your own risk; if you don't know what your doing, don't do it.
Also, it's not that easy to get back to the original TP-Link firmware (which you would definitely need to to if you wanted to return the device to TP-Link for warranty repair.

We're running a 2006 Xserve RAID at the university. Our old server was a 2006 Xserve with an Apple 2 Gbit Fibre Channel card. When we recently got a new Mac mini server to replace, we ordered an Atto Thunderlink FC 1082 to interface with the RAID. The Promise SANLink would have been a possible alternative, but the Thunderlink is capable of 8 Gbit/s, thus future-proofing our investment.
Unfortunately, when I hooked up the Thunderlink straight to the Xserve RAID using an Apple Fibre Channel Copper Cable, neither the Xserve RAID Admin utility nor the Mac mini showed a connection. After some googling around, it appears as if the Xserve RAID is not capable of negotiating links with HBAs that are capable of more than 2 Gbit/s. Turns out also says that you shouldn't use their 4 Gbit card with the Xserve RAID: HT1769.
Since the RAID has been working fine for quite a while with two HP servers running VMWare ESXi with Qlogic QLE2460 controllers connected through a Qlogic SANbox 5200 2 Gbit FC switch, and I knew the Thunderlink worked with that switch, I simply used an FC Copper Cable between the Thunderlink and the switch and one between the switch and the RAID, configured the zoning, et voilà, the array mounted on the Mac mini.

Salem Mayor on Trump Comparing Impeachment to Witch Trials: 'Learn Some History'
'AMPLE EVIDENCE'

The mayor of Salem, Massachusetts, blasted President Trump's comparison of the Salem witch trials to the impeachment process against him on Tuesday, writing that the president needed to "learn some history." Mayor Kim Driscoll tweeted that the witch trials in 1662 featured an "absence of evidence" along with "powerless, innocent victims" who were "hanged or pressed to death" with large rocks. By comparison, Driscoll said "Ukrainegate 2019" had "ample evidence, admissions of wrongdoing" and the "perpetrators are among the most powerful [and] privileged." "This situation is much different than the plight of the witch trial victims, who were convicted using spectral evidence [and] then brutally hanged or pressed to death," Driscoll wrote in another tweet. "A dubious legal process that bears no relation to televised impeachment."
In a Tuesday letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Trump wrote that more "due process was afforded to those accused in the Salem Witch Trials" than what was given to him during the impeachment inquiry against him. The House is expected to vote on impeachment Wednesday, which will lead to a Senate trial in coming weeks. As CNN notes, the punishment for impeachment does not include death, which was the fate of 19 men and women who were accused of witchcraft in the Massachusetts town.

Дифама́ція ( — обмова, ганьблення від  = поширювати плітки) — поширення про особу неправдивої інформації, яка принижує її честь та гідність, завдає шкоди діловій репутації. Дифамація є синонімом до терміну «приниження честі, гідності та ділової репутації». Загалом, українське законодавство не вживає термін дифамація, однак як лаконічне змістовне слово іншомовного походження він активно використовується на практиці та в законодавствах деяких інших країн.

Ознаки дифамації
Твердження про який-небудь факт є дифамацією лише за умови, якщо воно:
 недостовірне;
 принижує честь та гідність, або завдає збитків репутації конкретної особи;
 поширене — тобто донесене принаймні до однієї людини, окрім тієї, про яку поширюється інформація.

Дифамація стосується конкретних фактів, які слід відрізняти від оціночних суджень.

Види дифамації
Дифамація може здійснюватися у письмовій (пасквіль, наклеп) або усній (лихослів'я, обмовляння) формах.

Притягнення до відповідальності
Для того щоб людину притягнули до відповідальності, потрібно встановити наявність таких елементів (відсутність принаймні одного з них звільняє від відповідальності):
 факт поширення інформації — інформація мала бути повідомлена принаймні одній людині за винятком тієї, про яку йдеться. Тобто у випадку, коли недостовірна інформація була повідомлена лише тій особі, якої вона безпосередньо стосується, не може бути підстав для позову, оскільки приниження честі і гідності має бути в очах інших осіб, які дізналися про цю інформацію.
 інформація має бути про особу, яка ініціює позов;
 інформація має бути недостовірною;
 інформація має принижувати честь і гідність.

Звільнення від відповідальності
Якщо журналіст не є безпосереднім автором інформації, а лише доносить до читача чи глядача позицію іншої людини, то його не можна притягнути до відповідальності — претензії висуваються до джерела інформації.

Оціночні судження
Оціночне судження — це суб'єктивна особиста оцінка певної події чи явища (певного факту), зроблена конкретною особою.

Not too long ago, the cPanel Control Panel appeared to be an unquestionable front runner on the website hosting market. Its global recognition grew so big that these days cPanel is a synonym of Control Panel. Nonetheless, the cPanel Control Panel has been created on outdated ideas and what worked well a few years ago is just not of importance presently.
This is exactly why, we came up with the EsxDomains Control Panel, built around the concepts of these days and ready for the trials of the future. It is created to function in the cloud, to be intuitive and to allow you to control every aspect of your online presence: website, domain and billing, all from a single place.
With the EsxDomains Control Panel you will be able to look after all of your websites, domain names and e–mail addresses within the very same place. You don't need to make use of any additional payments or domain interfaces.
The cPanel Control Panel does not offer concurrent control over domains and web sites. You will receive one payments panel for your domain names and bills, and yet another Control Panel for your websites.
Using the EsxDomains Control Panel, each web address and subdomain will have its folder inside the main website hosting account directory. That way, all sites are going to be fully insulated from one another.
If you try to manage a lot of web sites from a single cPanel website hosting account, it might be quite a bit perplexing. You'll have one main web site and all of the extra web sites and subdomains will be incorporated into its folder as subdirectories. If you wish to have an individual folder for every single website, you will need to utilize different Control Panel interfaces for each of them.
Using the File Manager in the EsxDomains Control Panel, you will get 100% control over the contents of your web sites. It will be easy for you to immediately upload new files with a drag & drop feature, efficiently edit several files at the same time via the multi–selection functionality, unarchive archives in a click, edit files using the builtin plain and WYSWYG managers and more.
The File Manager of cPanel is sluggish and limited in functions. Adding a lot of data files demands a considerable amount of time and doesn't offer drag–n–drop support. The integrated unarchiver is difficult to rely on and the file editing tools will offer you only general controls. There is no quick access to the available file managing features.
The EsxDomains Control Panel is operated by our company and contains a large assortment of no–charge bonus features that might usually cost about $1000 bucks with some other companies. You'll have access to countless no cost web templates, the Easy Website Installer, Application Installer, a PHP 1 Click Framework Installer, a selection of Advanced Applications, etc.
The free–of–cost bonus features bundled in the cPanel Control Panel may vary from N/A to several. All freely available gifts within the cPanel Control Panel are commercial software and will be at hand only when your hosting provider has bought a certification to supply them. So, if your supplier free–of–charge bonus features together with your package, they will in fact raise the cost of the service.
The EsxDomains Control Panel has been created utilizing the most up–to–date web technologies. In this way, it utilizes in full the potential of your web browser and web connection to help you handle your websites extremely fast. In our evaluation tests, when doing equivalent tasks, EsxDomains's Control Panel achieved three times better speeds when compared to the competition.
cPane is made to be set up on a wide selection of web servers employing many different equipment set–ups. This means that, it is not completely designed to work with a certain system, which may have poor influence over performance rates and security. Moreover, It may be even slower at times of higher hosting server overload.
The EsxDomains Control Panel helps you to flawlessly handle an array of sites in addition to their domain names from a single place. Each site will have its very own unique directory in the root directory of your account and will be completely independent from the rest. That way, you can utilize only one web hosting account to handle as many domains and web sites as you have.
With cPanel, it is not possible to handle your domains and your sites from a single place, since the two interfaces are divided. You need to sign into two different places every time you decide to edit your domain name settings and website file contents simultaneously.
With the EsxDomains Control Panel, you will be able to quickly move from one area to another by making use of our handy top navigation bar. It provides links to each section of the Control Panel as well as a brief description of what exactly you can do there. In this way, even if you don't understand what the particular section means, you'll have the capacity to quickly get acquainted with its features.
On the cPanel main page, you will notice icons to all sections of the Control Panel. Therefore, even though you may never click on an area, you'll still see it on the index page. Furthermore, to move between sections, you always have to get back to the home page and afterwards head to an internal section.
The EsxDomains Control Panel includes a fully featured demo website hosting account. All menus are active for you and you can actually work with them to make new mail accounts and databases, handle your files, and so forth. If you enjoy exactly how things look, you can easily enroll directly from the demo account.
From the demo hosting account of the cPanel Control Panel, you'll be able to solely become familiar with look and feel of its interface. Almost all characteristics are inaccessible and you also cannot in reality navigate away the homepage. With a lot of website hosting vendors, you will be granted access to a plain cPanel demo version, and will never be able to look at the Control Panel you'll in fact be using to manage your sites in case you sign up.
Rather than reading about the EsxDomains Web Hosting Control Panel, you can simply check out our Live Demo and find out yourself how simple web site management may be.

A great way to learn leadership is by observing other leaders with a special focus on the three basal elements of every leadership interaction: the leader, the followers, and the situation. The research behind The Top 10 Leadership Conversations in the Bible is available in our searchable database. You can learn more about the macro context/situation by exploring the four Leadership Eras below.
Want to go deeper with a leadership conversation? Download our 6 question study guide as a Word Document or PDF.
The Patriarchal Leadership Era is characterized by family leadership, often with multigenerational families or clans. Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are the primary patriarchs of Israel, but this era stretches back to include other leaders in the book of Genesis.
The National Leadership Era includes pre-kingdom and kingdom components, from the time of the exodus through the time of the judges and into the establishment of Israel's monarchy.
The Transitional Leadership Era stretches from the exile of Judah in Babylon through its return to Jerusalem. This era is characterized by strong leadership operating within or in subordination to pagan structures, both Babylonian and Persian.
The Spiritual Leadership Era encompasses pre-church and church components. The ministry of Jesus and the selection and development of the disciples dominate the pre-church component. The church component traces the expansion of the gospel beyond a Jewish context, characterized by new and loose structures that bypass the Jewish establishment.


The Special Committee on Emerging Technologies (SCET) is a key advisory body established by the HEI Board of Directors to aid HEI in identifying emerging fuels and technologies with a high likelihood of coming to market, so that HEI can effectively evaluate, plan, and initiate timely research and assessment of their likely health implications and potential unintended consequences. SCET is composed of experts from industry, government, academia, sponsors, and environmental organizations knowledgeable about fuels, technologies, health, and future trends.
During 2010-2011, SCET deliberated on the state of fuels and automotive technologies and published a comprehensive report (Communication 16). In response to SCET's advice, HEI issued to a call to action on several specific topics (see Communication 16). In 2013, SCET reconvened to discuss changes that had occurred since the report was published. HEI anticipates that it will reconvene SCET again in 2017.

Crowley Provides Scholarships to Two University of North Florida Students
(JACKSONVILLE, Fla.; November 18, 2014) – Crowley Maritime Corporation recently awarded Thomas B. Crowley Sr. Memorial Scholarships to two University of North Florida (UNF) students who are also currently part-time employees with the company. UNF seniors Olivia Musselwhite and Matthew Petrone each received $2,500 towards their continued education.
Leonora Bojko-Sosa and Kathy Lonetto, human resources representatives for Crowley, recognized the two at an annual reception on Nov. 7 at the University Center on the UNF campus in Jacksonville. Musselwhite, who will graduate in December, currently works in Crowley's logistics group, specifically with government services, while Petrone, who graduates in spring 2015, works in the liner services equipment group.
Crowley has provided scholarship aid to UNF students since 1998. To qualify, students must major in transportation or logistics, obtain a predetermined grade point average (GPA) and possesses leadership skills identified by the college and by Crowley.
The recipients are chosen each year by UNF in June but aren't formally recognized until November. Crowley also extends formal internships when possible as an additional benefit to the scholarship recipients.
Since 1984, Crowley has provided more than $3 million dollars in scholarship funding for more than 1,000 students at select institutions of higher learning from Alaska to Central America. The company has also donated more than $2 million over the years to support other educational programs.
In 1994, Chairman and CEO Tom Crowley Jr., formally established the Thomas B. Crowley Sr. Memorial Scholarship Program in honor of his father who led the company to extraordinary heights before passing away in 1994. To learn more about the scholarship program, visit www.crowley.com/scholarships.
Jacksonville-based Crowley Holdings Inc., a holding company of the 122-year-old Crowley Maritime Corporation, is a privately held family and employee-owned company.

Question: I work in sales and it can be challenging sometimes with other coworkers competing all the time. The other night a man approached me with a large order, so I asked my coworker / friend to help me out gathering all of the products. At the end of gathering everything, she asked me how I wanted to split it up. The first mistake I made was saying "I don't care" and she said the same. She then suggested that she wanted to put all of the products from a certain brand on one ticket, so I told her she could take those. Meanwhile, her transaction came up to $700 and mine only came to $400. So I was a little upset. I felt like I was doing the "right thing" by giving her the bigger sale, but afterward I felt a little cheated. I'm just not sure how to deal with these situations a little more gracefully. Any advice?
Real Life LoA Answer: I'm so sorry you got the short end of the stick (sale) at work when dividing up that order!
However, from a Law of Attraction perspective, every manifestation is our own creation. In other words, everything that we experience, everything that happens to us, is happening in order for us to have more clarity about what we would RATHER have in the future. Keeping a positive attitude in the workplace is a by-product of being happily focused on your own best vision for your life.
Life is a work in progress, and when something happens that is not to your preference, it is because what you REALLY want to be experiencing is not as clear and vibrant as it needs to be yet. There is something more that you want for yourself at work, in your relationships, or in your life in general that is calling to you, and it becomes more clear by your awareness of all the things that are NOT it.
The opportunity is to take a conscious moment and set an intention for yourself about how you would like to handle that kind of situation if anything like that ever happens again, and to set an intention for yourself about what kind of experiences you would like to be having in your life overall.

Q: Get grouped items by "Group by" and applied pagination I use "Group by" CAML element to group items and also want to applied pagination(10 first grouped items) to SPQuery.
But SPList.GetItems(spquery) returned 10 items without grouping them.
My code is as follow :
        SPQuery spquery = new SPQuery();

        SPList spList = ListDAL.GetListByName("PlanIdeas", Constants.EideUrl);

        string query = @"<GroupBy Collapse='TRUE'  ><FieldRef Name='Plan2PlanIdea' /></GroupBy>";

        spquery.Query = query;

        if (rowLimit != 0)
        {
            spquery.RowLimit = rowLimit;
        }

        if (pageInfo != null && !pageInfo.Equals(""))
        {
            SPListItemCollectionPosition pos = new SPListItemCollectionPosition(pageInfo);
            spquery.ListItemCollectionPosition = pos;
        }

        SPListItemCollection items = spList.GetItems(spquery);

        foreach (SPListItem item in items)
        {
            var d = new SPFieldLookupValue(item["Plan2PlanIdea"].ToString()).LookupId;
        }

How to achieve this by SPQuery and CAML?

A: When you say you want it grouped, I suspect you mean you want something like IEnumerable<IGrouping<something, SPListItem>>? I don't think that SPQuery can do this by itself (CAML support this because of visual aspects I think), but what benefit do you get from using CAML for this?
Wouldn't ordering/sorting them in the CAML query result in the same as grouping, if the layout is flat anyway? So just add something like:
<OrderBy><FieldRef Name='Plan2PlanIdea' Ascending='FALSE' /></OrderBy>

I imagine that doing the grouping after the query wouldn't be that much slower, you can do something like this:
var grouped = items.OfType<SPListItem>().GroupBy(item => item["Plan2PlanIdea"]);

If you want to group by the LookupId you could do something like this:
var grouped = items.OfType<SPListItem>()
  .GroupBy(item => new SPFieldLookupValue("" + item["Plan2PlanIdea"]).LookupId);

Bruce McLaren, né le  à Auckland, en Nouvelle-Zélande et mort le  à Goodwood, en Angleterre, est un pilote automobile néo-zélandais, qui courut en championnat du monde de Formule 1, disputant 98 Grands Prix de 1958 à 1970. Brillant pilote, il a également fondé l'écurie McLaren, devenue l'une des plus prestigieuses de l'histoire du sport automobile.

Biographie
Bruce McLaren débute en Formule 1 à l'occasion du GP d'Allemagne 1958. Au volant d'une Cooper F2, McLaren impressionne en se hissant en cinquième position à l'arrivée. Cela lui vaut d'être désigné pilote officiel de la marque pour la saison suivante.  À la fin de l'année 1959, en s'imposant au GP des États-Unis disputé à Sebring, il devient à 22 ans le plus jeune vainqueur d'un Grand Prix de Formule 1. Ce record ne sera battu qu'en 2003 par le futur champion du monde espagnol Fernando Alonso, puis en 2008 par Sebastian Vettel, et enfin en 2016 par Max Verstappen. L'année suivante, toujours sur une Cooper-Climax, il termine deuxième du championnat derrière son équipier Jack Brabham.

En 1963, s'inspirant de l'exemple de son ami Jack Brabham, Bruce McLaren monte sa structure Bruce McLaren Motor Racing Ltd, destinée notamment à engager des voitures en Formule Tasmane (championnat d'Océanie de monoplaces) ainsi qu'en CanAm (épreuves de sport-prototypes en Amérique du Nord). Il devient champion des premières Tasman Series en 1964, avec une Cooper T70 (3 succès). Cependant lassé des résultats en chute libre de l'écurie Cooper, Bruce franchit le pas et engage également ses propres voitures dans le championnat du monde de Formule 1 à partir de 1966. Après des débuts laborieux, Bruce McLaren touche au but en remportant hors-championnat du monde la Race of Champions, puis le GP de Belgique en 1968, tandis que son coéquiper et compatriote Denny Hulme remporte deux victoires et parvient à se glisser dans la lutte pour le titre mondial.

À ces résultats prometteurs en Formule 1, s'ajoute la nette domination de l'écurie McLaren dans le championnat CanAm que Bruce remporte en 1967 et en 1969. Il gagne le Trophée Segrave, décerné par le .

Accident

En essayant l'un de ses prototypes CanAm-Chevrolet, Bruce McLaren se tue sur le circuit de Goodwood le . Déséquilibrée par la perte de son capot moteur, la McLaren M8D s'écrase contre un poste de commissaire, tuant instantanément son pilote.

In this section, I will give an overview of the lecture. I will show a brief historical view, followed by the perspective for the future. I emphasize empathy as a keyword for future research. Finally, I will give an agenda for the forthcoming lectures.
In its history over fifty years, AI has achieved numerous significant contributions to computer science, including heuristic search, knowledge-based systems, natural language processing and pattern processing, planning, machine learning, and data mining. Heuristic search has allowed us to efficiently use partial knowledge to heuristically solve large-scale ill-formed problems, such as Chess, for which the action sequence to the solution cannot be uniquely determined in the course of problem solving due to the incompleteness of knowledge. Knowledge-based systems have enabled us to solve problems by explicitly coding program experts' practice. Natural language processing and pattern processing have made computers understand what we speak, see, and percept in general. Planning enables to implement autonomous artifacts that pursue their mission based on a set of given strategies and tactics. Machine learning permits computers to improve their behavior based on experiences. Data mining enables computers to discover patterns from a large collection of data.
Web intelligence by connecting a huge amount of knowledge and information made available on the net to solve challenging problems. It rang-es from scientific computing to security informatics.
Autonomous intelligent artifacts such as Mars Exploration Rovers that can explore unknown environment of the red planet in pursuit of data collection and scientific discovery.
Intelligent prostheses for supplementing or enhancing human capability in physical, cognitive or social dimensions. This category includes technologies such as advanced safety vehicles that can locate pedestrian in the dark or brain-machine interfaces that can change thought into physical actions.
Artist computers that can draw painting or play music by themselves, by simulating the artistic process. Interactive synthetic characters or artificial pets with emotion / personality models fall in this category.
I have been working on natural language dialogue system, natural language understanding system, qualitative reasoning, cooperative knowledge base, conversational informatics and social intelligence design.
3. What is Coming Next?
Technology explosion induced by information explosion will eventually change artifacts into intelligent autonomous agents from which humans can receive services without special training. Although the introduction of the intelligent autonomous agent paradigm may potentially increase the risk of the technology abuse and responsibility flaw problems, they might be almost resolved by the introduction of the public mediation mechanism.
Unfortunately, the mediated surrogates framework will deteriorate the moral in crisis and overdependence on artifacts problems. The moral in crisis problem will be escalated, as the surrogates will do anything on behalf of the user and as a result people will lose opportunities to think about morals and practice in the society. The overdependence on artifact problem will become desperately serious to the degree unrecoverable. It appears that we have to live with being assisted with artifacts. Occasionally, the mankind might encounter unprecedented disasters and the computational framework might cease to function as an infrastructure. That is the time for the mankind to depend on itself. Substantial portion of technology should be devoted to help the mankind foster the sociality and moral for that time.
Empathy is a key concept. Information and communication technology can contribute to enhance empathy among people. Potential contributions from AI may contribute to creating empathy between humans and machines.
The agenda of this lecture is shown on the last page on the PPT (also in the home page for this lecture).

Ten days in which the policy of #Washington VS #Cuba was left without arguments (+ Photos and Videos)
From an acclaimed pop-rock group, Hollywood stars, to members of the British royal family, in less than 10 days Havana has made headlines several times for the presence of celebrities from a range of sectors of social, cultural and cultural life. global economy, despite the winds of threats coming from the north.
The capital of all Cubans seduces personalities from around the world in the year of its 500th anniversary and cruise ships continue to enter its bay and new airlines, such as the Russian IrAero, are rushing to open new routes to the destination, behind their backs of the uncertainty that is intended to be created with the activation of Title III of the Helms-Burton Act, which seeks to submit demands to Cuban entities that supposedly traffic with nationalized US properties.
Since last March 19, US courts can open lawsuits against a list of more than 200 Cuban companies published unilaterally and in violation of sovereignty by the Donald Trump administration, and it is speculated that the application of this law will be extended to certain countries. and entities in accordance with arbitrary criteria and in clear violation of international law.

A distressing policy reversal on #Cuba Via The Washington Post / #HelmsBurtonAct
By Letters to the Editor / March 10 at 5:22 PM
As faith leaders with deep ties to Cuban religious communities, we find the Trump administration's reversal of more than two decades of U.S. policy, highlighted in the March 5 news article "U.S. tightens Cuban embargo, allowing legal claims for confiscated property," distressing because it will harm the Cuban people.

#Cuba cable ski park #LetsGoTravel2Cuba
With five towers, seven hook up points, capacity for up to 110 skiers per day (12 simultaneously), and an area of more than 7,000 square meters, the water skiing cable-way, located in the northern Jardines del Rey resort, will contribute to the diversification of Cuban tourism products.
A cable skiing system makes it possible to learn and practice water skiing and wake-boarding at a constant speed, over a course that covers a distance of up to 530 meters. The skier's rope and handle are pulled by a horizontal electrically-driven cable, up to ten meters above sea level.
According to Lilliam Rangel, sales specialist of the CON-IMPEX HGmbH & Co. KG Group, responsible for the construction of this new attraction, along with the Cuban extra-hotel enterprise Palmares S.A, located southeast of Cayo Guillermo, the contract for the project was signed at the end of 2014. The first materials arrived in March 2015 and construction and assembly works began last September.

Cuba may be one of the best diving destinations in the world. For decades, Cuba has been a favorite dive destination for Canadian divers. The combination of great dive sites, year-round diving and an interesting culture is the perfect draw. Cuba has over 500 dive sites which outnumbers Cayman's 365 dive site program.
Destinations such as Jardines de la Reina (Gardens of the Queen), Canarreos Archipelago, Jardines del Rey (Garden of the Kings), Varadero and the Hicacos Peninsula, are well-known to Canadian divers but not as well-known to the rest of us. The primary reason is that Cuba is not widely marketed as a scuba diving destination.
Tourists from the United States form the largest number of tourist in the Caribbean. Also, The majority of scuba divers are from the United States. We, therefore, find that most of the marketing is targetted to that market. However, The US does not allow its citizens to visit Cuba for tourism. So marketing from Cuba is lacking.

Sample MMI Article - Manufacturing Market Insider.
Outsourcing of electronic assemblies by Japanese companies has always been considered one of the "final frontiers" for EMS suppliers. Japanese OEMs have always considered manufacturing one of their core competencies, and for a long time resisted engaging EMS companies. Additionally, the supply chain was well established for the parts and mechanical assemblies that are essential to mechanical products like copiers, fax machines, and other office automation equipment. But a number of factors conspired to bring the Japanese to the outsourcing table. First, there were the rising costs of labor, land, and taxes that made manufacturing in Japan unaffordable. Electronic products coming out of Japan had always been expensive, but starting in the 1990s, they were becoming even more costly. Japanese OEMs watched as their Western competitors gained competitive advantage in price, supply chain, delivery, and repair as a result of their relationship with EMS subcontractors. Even worse, asset utilization was abominable—sometimes as low as 10–15%—as expensive manufacturing equipment sat idle and facility space was left empty, making for a very poor return on invested capital. The old business model of vertical integration was not holding up to a new world of the extended enterprise that hedged against changing technology and provided better expertise, thereby offering a solution to managing in-house capacity loads. More important, it made economic sense though it went against the grain of quality. Japanese OEMs were known for their intense dedication to 100% total quality and didn't trust any third-party suppliers to live up to their standards. And there were cultural issues that involved language and behaviors that were unique to the Japanese, resulting in these OEMs simply being more comfortable working with Japan-based companies. Breaking into the Japanese EMS market was like trying to break into Fort Knox for many Western EMS firms.
Yet today, EMS in Japan is quite pervasive, though it did not happen overnight. The large Japanese OEM firms like Sony, Toshiba, NEC, Fujitsu, Hitachi, and others experimented with outsourcing end-of-life products such as office automation and consumer electronics products. These commodity products never made much money for the EMS companies and were often engaged to open the door to more lucrative opportunities. Yet by 2015, the EMS market in Japan was estimated to have grown to $6.3 billion in revenue, according to a New Venture Research report, The Worldwide Contract Manufacturing Services Market – 2016 Edition, indicating that a fair amount of outsourcing was taking place (see Table 1). Foxconn is the largest supplier (see Table 2), with an estimated 2.5 million square feet of manufacturing capacity, followed by other Tier 1 EMS suppliers such as Delta, Flex, Jabil, Pegatron, and Sanmina. But it is the domestic suppliers that are of interest; these include Di-Nikko Engineering, SIIX, UMC, and a recently discovered EMS company named Kaga Electronics.
Kaga Electronics is a sizable $3 billion conglomerate consisting of the EMS division ($700 million); a parts, components, and power supply business named Taxan; and various other enterprises in the electronics sector. MMI hadn't even heard of the company until the Director of Sales, Terry Kearney, and the General Manager/Sales, Virgil Chen, called us up to tell us about Kaga and how the EMS business in Japan works. Kaga maintains low-cost manufacturing facilities all over the globe, including in China, Thailand, Malaysia, and the Czech Republic, in addition to two facilities in Japan.
The company was founded in 1992 when EMS was just starting to take off. The people at Kaga found it very difficult to get OEMs to agree to outsource, yet the company was able to convince firms like Oki, Sharp, Sony, and Olympus to subcontract office automation PCB assemblies. However, Kaga had a secret advantage via its parts, components, and power supply business, which had sold products to these companies for many years.
"We're in it for the long run," states Kearney, who says that longevity and trust were the most important factors in getting Kaga's customers to embrace outsourcing. In fact, treating the customer first is a philosophy preached widely by the company. And Kaga being a Japanese company was critical, in that the culture and language were the same, and once it was established that it could achieve 100% quality on a reliable basis, the doors began to open. "Once one cow crosses the river, the rest will follow," declared Kearney. Trust made it easy to transition other programs into the pipeline.
Kaga has grown into a Tier 2 supplier in Japan, focusing on low-volume, high-mix assemblies in the industrial (HVAC), automotive, and medical industries. The company is seeing strong growth in the electronics assemblies in these industries as OEMs embed sensors, intelligence, and Internet of Things devices into transportation and other industry products.
The old captive subcontracting partnership system, commonly known as keiretsu, has been falling into obsolescence over the last 20 years. This has proved difficult for certain sectors where costs are forcing OEMs to look abroad for further reductions. In traditional consumer electronics, leading Japanese OEMs like Sony, NEC, and Mitsubishi are increasingly engaging EMS providers and ODMs as primary subcontractors to manufacture their products.
Outsourcing has come to be an accepted practice in Japan today, but the domestic EMS companies definitely have the edge, as it is not uncommon for heterogeneous cultures to prefer to work together (e.g., Europeans, Asians, and Americans). Therefore, penetrating EMS in Japan will require an indigenous operation. There appears to be significant potential for this, as the world continues to embrace the benefits of outsourcing.
Despite this, the APAC region experienced a decrease in revenue growth compared with the other regions in 2015–2016. While it dominated the world in terms of total production (accounting for almost 70 percent of all assembly), the downturn in demand for digital TVs, desktop computers, and, to a certain extent, notebooks contributed to this decline. The region continues to attract high-volume electronics assembly, mostly for the IT and consumer electronics industries. Of greatest concern, however, is the steady rise in base wage rates—all across the board—particularly for the common assembly worker.

The Big Tax Lie - The Wealthy Do Not Pay a Majority of the Taxes
Within every debate about fair tax policy there is a discussion about who currently pays the most tax. The constant claim you hear is the wealthy already pay the majority of 'income taxes' and therefore any benefit from a tax cut should go to them. The idea that the wealthy (the top 1%) of Americans pay the majority, or even an unfair share, of the total tax burden is 100% false.
That doesn't stop Republicans from making these claims. Who could forget when Mitt Romney was secretly recorded telling his rich donors that 47% of Americans do not pay tax. Yes it is true that close to 47 million Americans pay zero 'federal income tax'. But what does that mean.
Let's break down that 47%:
22% are retired seniors.
16% are from the working poor who are not paid enough to owe federal income tax.
9% owe no federal income tax due to various tax expenditures such as education credits, itemized deductions or reduced rates on capital gains and dividends. Furthermore, most of this group is in the middle to upper income brackets. There are about 7,000 families and individuals who earn $1 million a year or more and still pay no Federal Income tax.
It is true that the wealthiest Americans pay the greatest share of 'federal income taxes', but that point alone is a purposeful and nefarious framing of the overall issue of who pays the most tax. When Republicans talk about taxes, they deliberately only talk about 'federal income tax' and never talk about other taxes such as state tax, local tax, Social Security tax, Medicare tax, property tax, sales tax and other excise taxes such as gas tax ("total tax"). Republicans never talk about "total tax" because, once you do, the argument that the wealthy pay an unfair share of 'total tax' falls apart. The reason it falls apart is because all of the other taxes we pay are regressive, which means they take a larger share of income from the poor and middle class.
When you look at who is paying the 'total tax' you will find that the wealthiest Americans are not paying too much, but in fact they are paying too little. The following chart is from the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy (ITEP). It presents the "total tax" burden by income percentile.
There are bunch of ways to look at this, but here are the key numbers:
The bottom 99% takes home 78.3% of income while paying 76.1% of total tax. The top 1% takes home 21.7% of total income while paying 23.8% of total tax. This shows the wealthy DO NOT pay a disproportionate share of tax.
The average income of a taxpayer in the top 1% is $1,827,000. Their total tax burden is 34.1%. A taxpayer earning $129,000 a year has a tax burden of 32.3%, a nearly identical burden to someone earning $1,827,000. A taxpayer earning $31,900 has total tax burden of 23.1%, just 11 points lower than someone earning $1,827,000.
The average income and tax burden for a taxpayer is $89,700 and 31.1%. The average income and tax burden for a taxpayer in the top 1% is $1,827,000 and 34.1%. The top 1% of Americans pay nearly the same tax burden as the average. To put it another way, while making 2000% more income than average (yes two thousand percent), a taxpayer in the top 1% pays the average tax burden.
This all about to get a lot worse with the new GOP tax bill headed to Trump's desk.
Anyone who tells you that the wealthy are paying an unfair share of 'tax' or 'total tax' is either lying, or doesn't know any better. Secondly, anyone who only wants to talk about 'federal income tax' is engaging in a nefarious framing of the argument with intention to deceive. The only fair conversation to have on taxation is one that includes all taxes paid.


NES are excited to be part of this innovative new scheme. The energy centre recovers heat created by the London underground network and uses it to heat over 500 local authority homes in the local area. This provides the residents with over 10% reduction in their heating bills while simultaneously reducing heat build-up within the tube network. This is the second scheme in Islington following the success of the first project off Clerkenwell Road.
The site is adjacent to a cluster of residential sky scrapers on City Road. These keynote schemes represent the joined up thinking of Islington Council planners, institutional investors and development companies. These developments aim to service the highly skilled affluent City of London workers who can commute the short walk to Old Street or Moorgate to the south.
The development is in a central position with 5 road elevations. It was essential that the development enhanced the local environment and did not represent an eye sore. In order to provide this patina copper was initially mooted as a material. Through the development process it became apparent the heat extraction machinery and flues would be emitting steam. The moisture from this would attached the copper making discolouration in the form for verdigris a significant concern. The expense of copper made wider panels, especially with the perforations prohibitively expensive.
The perforations have been punched with a cluster tool allowing for 10,000 holes / sq. m.
The Pattern is v-cut routed allowing for a subtle block out zone on the lower facade.
The solution finally developed with Islington Council Planning Department was to go for the Anodised Aluminium AnoCopper04. The anodic coating offers a 25 year guaranty on the finish and a 50 year expected lifetime. This thickness of the anodising layer is 25 micron, full BS standard. In addition to this the brushed effect was chosen.
The brushing is a form of polishing. It increases the light refraction and the visual interest of the facade. There is the concern that with the darker 'Copper Effect' colours some of the contrast would be lost in the dark shades. The brushed makes the whole facade that bit more vibrant.
Expanded mesh was also used on some elements of the face. Normal anodising grade aluminium is not ductile (flexible) enough to be slitted and expanded. A special anodising grade of 1050 aluminium was used. Because of the angles of the expanded mesh it did not cause an aesthetic problem to have this different metal adjacent to the brushed copper anodised aluminium.

Earthlink has been very helpful throughout the process of the admission and the visa processing. They have been very co-operative and have given utmost help and the right guidance. They have provided excellent help and guidance from the admission right up to getting adjusted in the very new atmosphere of a foreign land. Its been a great pleasure to have come in contact with a really genuine company.
I thank Earthlink for helping me in getting admission and visa even though I had not done IELTS. I also thank Mr. Hardik Shah for arranging my airport pick and accommodation as well helping in getting part time job here in UK. I am very grateful to all of you. Once again thank you very much.
Earthlink is a unique institute, which is really genuine and has been helpful in the real sense. Not only during the admission and visa procedure, they have provided the best kind of guidance and assistance even here in London. Settling in a very new and foreign atmosphere and that too away from the family is not an easy task, but a helping hand like Earthlink has been really a great support.
I was highly satisfied by the service provided by Earthlink. The staff moved so friendly with me to clear my doubts regarding the selection of University, Courses, financial support, visa documentation etc.. The information provided by them regarding this UK trip was highly sufficient for me to step to a new alien nation.
I came to Earthlink when I was in total darkness. They showed me the right path of success right from selecting college to visa process and they are the experts. In spite of lot of complication in my case they sorted out everything with their outstanding experience and expertise. I have no word left out more to explain my gratitude for Earthlink.
I can t pen down the good effort taken by Earthlink in bringing my British education to reality. The mental support that was given after an initial rejection is worth praising a lot. The Earthlink staff were treating me as someone who they knew me for a very long time. I thank each and every one for helping me through.
When my dad saw an advertisement in a newspaper about admission in UK. I came to know about Earthlink. From the time I first met the staff in Earthlink, they took care of my admission in the college and Visa procedures. They explained what it would take to live in the UK, which means Earthlink is not only concerned about getting an admission in any college but also about how a student can live in the UK. They are always helpful with all doubts and advised us what to do whenever my dad or me called them for help.
Earthlink has been providing great guidance to all who wish to pursue their studies abroad. They have guided me through all the Visa formalities and trained me in various aspects in order to face all the situations while getting myself enrolled in the college. I am deeply thankful to Earthlink for guiding me throughout for successfully landing in one of the reputed institution in UK. I owe my sincere thanks to the Counsellors who have been a great moral support all through. I also thank all the staff members at Earthlink for their continued help. Thank You EARTHLINK ! ! !
The entire credit of my admission to visa approval goes to Earthlink team. I really thank the patience and co-operation of the staff in answering my questions regarding visa documents. It is only the sheer hard work of the entire Earthlink team that lead my way to foreign education.
I thank Earthlink for their expert counselling and helping me choose one of the best institutes in New Zealand. The staff was very friendly and the attention was personalised right from preparing statement of purpose to processing the visa, they were very helpful. Thank you Earth link!!!
I feel very happy about services of Earthlink. Words are not sufficient to express my happiness. In short I feel they have made the impossible to possible. Many thanks.
It is with great pleasure to appreciate the guidance & services rendered by you in sending my daughter to UK. Both my daughter & myself were unaware of the rules, regulation & process to be followed for obtaining passport & Visa. We inquired with quite a few consultants but ultimately we found that we were quite right in approaching you. The guidance given by you was quite appropriate and exact so that, there was no difficulty in obtaining counter-visa, visa could be obtained without personal visit of UK consulate in Mumbai.

The Bison get set to take on Dallas Gateway.
The Gateway Gators provided a new opponent for the Bison football team, hitting the field with aggressive moves and plenty of name calling; there was conflict throughout the game between the two teams, but the Bison came out on top, trampling the Gateway Gators 48-8 and adding yet another win to their undefeated season.
The game started off well for the Bison while the Gators had a hard time catching up. Quarterback Colton Green was an obvious stand-out with, along with junior Jamaul Randel providing Buffalo with two more touchdowns.
The stadium settled down once halftime rolled around. The Bison Belles danced a pom routine to Hey, Baby played by the Bison Bridage Band, followed by their marching show Fueled by Ramen with a music selection of Some Nights, Victorious, and Irresistible.
Shortly after the halftime performances, the football players returned to the field, eager to wrap up the night with another victory. Buffalo stepped up their game in the third quarter with 14 points from the offense and zero points allowed from the defense.
This victory bumped their record 4-0 while Gateway Charter Academy´s record moved to 0-3.

Q: Using the Facebook Graph API Explorer I want to experiment with the Facebook Graph API, using the Graph API Explorer. Specifically, I have a Facebook event (which is "Open Invite"), and I'd like to see what information I can pull regarding this event. For instance, attendees, RSVP-status, etc.
When I use the explorer, I first need to get an access token. The amount of information I can pull from Facebook depends on what permissions I "give myself" in this token. However, I'm a little uncomfortable as to what this actually implies:

*

*By generating a token, do I somehow "leave some doors open into my
Facebook event/account"? Are there any security concerns here? Do
these permissions expire automatically along with the token, after
some time?

*If I go to "Extended Permissions", and check the "rsvp_event" box,
the token dialog tells me the "Graph API Explorer would like to
manage your events". I guess this is fine, in fact that this is
specifically what I'm asking for, but is this "safe" to do?

Since this is an upcoming event, I have to be 100% certain I won't somehow end up messing up the actual event, like removing people or even deleting the event. Perhaps the Graph API Explorer can only pull information about the event, or can I accidentally edit/delete the event through the same tool?
Sorry for the vague question, but perhaps someone can shed some light on these things?

A: The GraphExplorer can also post/edit and delete data. On the left hand site you have a drop down menu with GET/POST/DELETE if you stay with get u can't modify any data.
As to the security concerns if the Token expires the permission expire and you can also remove the permissions manually by clicking on Get Acces Token and then Clear.


Volkswagen has terminated Audi CEO Rupert Stadler`s contract against the backdrop of a criminal investigation into whether he was involved in emissions cheating by the German group.
Munich prosecutors are investigating Stadler and another member of Audi`s senior management for suspected fraud and false advertising related to illegal emmissions by its cars and manipulation of vehicle tests.
The departure of Stadler came as the German government presented a plan to cut pollution from diesel vehicles in the country`s continuing efforts to negotiate the aftermath of the VW emissions scandal that surfaced three years ago.
Before becoming Audi CEO in 2007, Stadler was a confidant of, and former assistant to, then-Volkswagen chairman Ferdinand Piech, the scion of the group`s controlling Piech clan.
Peter Mosch, works council chief and deputy head of Audi`s supervisory board, said the move gave the company more clarity for the future.
In July Volkswagen recruited BMW engine development and purchasing expert Markus Duesmann, who has been touted as a potential successor to Stadler as VW looks for clean-engine expertise to help it to shake off the scandal.
A source familiar with the matter said that severance payment terms for Stadler would depend on the investigators` findings. Stadler`s VW contract was due to run to the end of next year and his Audo CEO contract to the end of 2023.


Dubai is an attractive relocation spot for British citizens. Every year, hundreds of British expats move to Dubai from UK for better prospects and financial gains.
With over 200,000 new resident arrivals each year, Dubai continues to attract more expatriates. Affordable accommodations, high salaries, employee-friendly taxes are only some of the reasons why more people are looking into starting a new life in Dubai.
Whether you are moving to Dubai for business, work, retirement or just for an extended stay, consider the following tips – especially if you are moving to Dubai from UK.
Most people who relocate to Dubai do so because they have found a suitable job there. It is advised that you find work before moving. Finding work is not that difficult in Dubai, especially in the areas of information and technology and hospitality. The city and its economy is growing and there's a lot of work in other sectors too.
Residency Visa and Work Permits. In order to live and work in Dubai, you need an approved Work Permit and Residency Visa. Your employer will usually facilitate the submission of the necessary documents for the government's approval. Income is tax-free, but the job market is very competitive. So you must prepare yourself for a challenging job hunt, making sure that your relevant skills are highlighted when you apply for a job.
Compensation. As an expatriate, what compensation and benefits are you going to receive? Some companies pay for expenses of removals, accommodation rentals, and flights to and from UK, children's school tuition fees and personal vehicles. You are very fortunate if all these are to be paid for by the company. Work on your numbers to see whether your finances can support your lifestyle in Dubai. Major consideration is your family, if you are bringing them with you.
Dubai is often called an "expat's paradise". More than half of people living here are foreign born. As an expat, you will enjoy amenities which you may not have in your home countries. For instance, telecommunication system is excellent; most of the modern buildings are equipped with hi-tech air-conditioning and safety systems. Media, such as newspapers, TV, radio stations, are available in Arabic, English, Urdu and several other languages.
Dress and etiquette in Dubai: Most Emirati males wear a kandura. It is an ankle-length tunic woven from wool or cotton. Women wear an abaya, a black over-garment covering most parts of the body. Because of the large expatriate population, Western and modern clothing is popular, and is also beginning to grow among the Emiratis.
Accommodation in UAE: The cost of living in the UAE depends on the location and size of the accommodation. Expats moving to Dubai from UK usually prefer to live in Marina, Jumeirah Beach Road, Safa Park, Umm Suqeim, JBR, as well as the freehold areas like Ranches, Meadows, Springs, Greens, DIFC, and Palm.
Finding an apartment in UAE is easy with the help of online portals like www.justproperty.com.
Insurance. Talk to your insurance adviser in UK and ask how your current insurance policies will be affected when you move to UK. Concurrently, talk to a trusted insurance adviser about your insurance options in Dubai. The biggest foreign players in the insurance industry in Dubai are Metlife ALICO, Zurich International Life and AXA for life and medical insurance. Some of the more reputable local players are Oman Insurance, Arab Orient Insurance and Daman.
Healthcare. In Dubai, healthcare is generally satisfactory. If you have any special medical requirements, make sure you ask your employer or any trusted sources about this. Determine the medical and dental package that your employer is offering you. Remember that you are in a foreign land, and you should be prepared for any health needs that you will be encountering.
Weather and landscape. Avoid staying outdoors during summer as it can get very hot. Throughout the rest of the year, it is quite pleasant and the winter isn't too cold. A lot has been achieved in terms of landscaping, irrigation and beautification, to think that all these was barren desert a decade or two ago.
Over 80% of people living in Dubai are from other countries. You are bound to run into someone from your home country. Things are generally cheaper, but it depends on your lifestyle and which country you come from. There are traffic cameras everywhere, given the tendency to enjoy speeding because of the roads, cheap fuel and sporty cars. Be sensitive to their culture and remember that you are in a different country.
There are certain hidden costs of living in Dubai. Do factor in for them when planning your monthly budget.
When moving to Dubai from UK, do not expect the two places to be similar, even with Dubai's modernization.

Tank desant
Soviet tank desant drill, on a BT-7 Model 1935
Tank desant (Russian: танковый десант, tankovyy desant) is a military combined arms tactic, where infantry soldiers, called tankodesantniki, ride into an attack on tanks, then dismount to fight on foot in the final phase of the assault. Desant (from the French language: descendre, "to disembark") is a Russian general term for airborne or parachute drops and naval infantry amphibious landings operations.
The tactic was used as an expedient by the Soviet Red Army during World War II. Tank desant troops (tankodesantniki) were infantry trained in the tactic in order to offer small-arms support in suppression of enemy anti-tank weapons or enemy infantry using anti-tank grenades. After the war, T-55 and T-62 tanks were built with hand-holds for this purpose. In northern areas during winter, similar tactics were used by Soviet infantry riding the skids of aerosani or towed behind them on skis. Nowadays, this tactic is very rare in well-equipped armed forces, with troops riding in armored personnel carriers or infantry fighting vehicles.
2.1 Modern usage
Usage[edit | edit source]
Churchill tank carrying infantry in Saint-Pierre-Tarentaine (Normandy), August 3, 1944
The tank desant tactic, like more conventional airborne and amphibious operations, was used to achieve fundamental goals of maneuver theory - "surprise, leverage, simultaneity and interchangeability."[1]
The use of tank desant was only prescribed within the first kilometer of the forward edge of the combat area for only the simplest of tactical mission objectives, since the circumstances would be difficult for the troops engaged.[2]
Riding on tanks during actual combat is very dangerous. Tank riders are very vulnerable to machine gun and high explosive fire, and the high silhouette of most tanks would draw enemy fire. Smoke and covering fire may be used to reduce the hazards. Tank riding is mostly used when troops need to move faster than is possible on foot and there is a shortage of motor transport or armoured personnel carriers.
Usually, the infantry and their heavy weapons were assigned to specific tanks well before the execution of the mission. This allowed the infantry to become familiar with the tanks and train with the tank crews. Support platforms for the heavy weapons were sometimes attached to the tanks to allow firing on the move. Ropes were attached to provide hand-holds for the infantry. The number of infantry assigned to a tank depended on the class of the tank; the usual numbers were:[2]
Heavy tank, 10-12 soldiers
Medium tank, 8-10 soldiers
Light tank, 5-6 soldiers
Tank desant would be used in such a way as to ensure surprise, approaching during a snow storm or mist or employing either smoke grenades or a smoke screen prepared by sappers or laid down by artillery.
A German Panzer III carries infantry through the Russian SFSR in 1942.
Today, tank desant is considered a wasteful and human-costly improvisation, which, in the opinion of some writers, was adopted by the Red Army because they failed to appreciate the problem of tank–infantry co-operation.[3] However, this is not supported by historical analysis, and there is evidence that tank desant was used as early as 1937 during the Spanish Civil War. On 13 October, during the Aragon Front advance in the area of the Fuentes de Ebro, the 1st Independent Tank Regiment (Republican Army), using BT-5 tanks, attached to the 15th International Brigade, conducted a tank-desant mission with the attached 24th Infantry Battalion of the Spanish army (24ta de Voluntarios, commanded by Captain Aquilla). But lack of coordination and communication between the Soviet crews (which had just completed a 630 km march) and the Spanish infantry resulted in sixteen tanks being either destroyed or disabled (some salvaged) and 37 tank crewmen becoming casualties.[4]
Analysis of the Red Army's doctrine developed during the 1930s and documented in the 1936 Field Manual[5] shows that the cavalry arm was expected to perform in the role of the supporting dismounted infantry, and this was repeatedly displayed during the operations on the Eastern Front through use of the cavalry mechanized groups. The idea of using infantry tank desant was, however, retained in the 1942 Field Instructions for the infantry (battalion)[6]
Almost universal mechanization has rendered this tactic mostly obsolete among the more advanced armed forces, with infantry riding special-purpose armoured personnel carriers or infantry fighting vehicles into battle. The uses of explosive reactive armor, which creates a danger zone around an armoured vehicle by detonating an explosive charge when the tank suffers a serious hit, and gas turbine engines, with extremely hot exhaust, makes tank desant a dangerous and undesirable alternative.

Other military forces, including the United States Army in the Vietnam War, the Soviet Army in the War in Afghanistan, and the Russian Ground Forces in the First Chechen War, have chosen to ride atop their carriers while on patrol or routine movement, rather than inside them.
In contrast to the offensive Soviet tank desant tactics of World War II, these were soldiers who wanted to be able to move from their vehicles quickly in case of ambush (which often turned their transports into death traps). Fearing land mines and rocket-propelled grenades widely used by guerrillas, these soldiers refused to stay inside the personnel carriers—contravening normal standing orders for several reasons:
The infantrymen on the outside represented more eyes and rifles at the ready to locate and fire upon a small force or single ambusher.
Explosive concussion inside the personnel compartment, caused by a rocket-propelled grenade or land mine hitting the armour, was said to be more dangerous than enemy fire on the personnel mounted outside. Many of these soldiers wore body armor, which reduced their fear of small-arms fire. Spall liners have only recently become common.
Wounded soldiers trapped inside were very unlikely to be extracted safely until after the battle, especially if the vehicle was on fire.
Soviet soldiers also adopted the tactic of riding the roofs of their BTRs (armoured personnel carriers), BMPs, BMDs and, rarely, tanks. During the Second Chechen War and other local conflicts of the post-Soviet era, the units of the Russian military and law enforcement acquired the tactic, making it a routine. However, riding outside the vehicles is still prohibited by Russian military doctrine, so it is not used during training and maneuvers.

A Taxa de Sacrifício é a perda de produto decorrente do combate à inflação, e pode ser expressa como o quanto se perde de produto para reduzir a inflação em 1 ponto percentual.

A Taxa de Sacrifício é uma proposição do economista Robert Lucas Jr, que observou que a desaceleração da inflação no longo prazo está associada a uma redução da produção de bens e serviços por um certo período, até que os agentes econômicos adaptem-se à nova realidade de formação de preços e reestruturem suas expectativas quanto à Economia. Portanto, o custo social do combate à inflação é a redução do PIB e a elevação da taxa de desemprego.
