Le Terrible  ("The terrible one") was one of six  large destroyers (, "Torpedo-boat destroyer") built for the  (French Navy) during the 1930s. The ship entered service in 1936 and participated in the Second World War. When war was declared in September 1939, all of the Le Fantasques were assigned to the  which was tasked to hunt down German commerce raiders and blockade runners. Le Terrible and two of her sister ships were based in Dakar, French West Africa, to patrol the Central Atlantic for several months in late 1939. They returned to Metropolitan France before the end of the year and were transferred to French Algeria in late April 1940 in case Italy decided to enter the war. She screened French cruisers once as they unsuccessfully hunted for Italian ships after Italy declared war in June.

Le Terrible was present when the British attacked French ships in July, but was not damaged. She was sent to Dakar at the beginning of 1941 and was there when French West Africa joined the Allies in late 1942. The ship was sent to the United States for repairs and to be modernized in early 1943. Le Terrible was sent to the Mediterranean at the beginning of 1944 where she spent the rest of the year searching for Axis shipping with two of her sisters. In between raids, the ship provided naval gunfire support during Operation Dragoon, the invasion of Southern France, in mid-1944. She was badly damaged in a collision in December and spent the next year under repair.

The ship was only intermittently active for the rest of the 1940s, but was modernized to serve as an escort for French aircraft carriers in 1952–1953. She was decommissioned in mid-1955 after which she briefly became a training ship and was reduced to reserve at the end of 1956. Le Terrible was stricken in 1962 and scrapped the following year.

Design and description
The Le Fantasque-class ships were designed to counter the fast Italian  light cruisers and Le Terrible set a world record for a ship with a conventional hull of . They had an overall length of , a beam of , and a draft of . The ships displaced  at standard and  at deep load. Le Terrible was powered by two Rateau-Bretagne geared steam turbines, each driving one propeller shaft, using steam provided by four water-tube boilers. The turbines were designed to produce , which would propel the ship at . During her sea trials on 22 January 1935, her turbines provided  and she reached  for a single hour. The Parsons turbines were more economical than the Rateau-Bretagne turbines which gave those ships equipped with them a range of  versus  at . The crew of the Le Fantasque class consisted of 11 officers and 221 crewmen in peacetime and the number of the latter increased to 254 in wartime.

The main armament of the Le Fantasques consisted of five Canon de  Modèle 1929 guns in single mounts, one superfiring pair fore and aft of the superstructure and the fifth gun abaft the aft funnel. Their anti-aircraft armament consisted of two Canon de  Modèle 1925 guns in single mounts positioned amidships and four Hotchkiss Mitrailleuse de  CA Modèle 1929 in two twin-gun mounts aft of the 37 mm mounts. The ships carried three above-water triple sets of  torpedo tubes; the aft mount could traverse to both sides, but the forward mounts were positioned one on each broadside. A pair of depth charge chutes were built into their stern; these housed a total of sixteen  depth charges with another dozen available in the torpedo magazine. They could also be fitted with rails capable of handling 40 naval mines.

Modifications 1938–1942
In December 1938 – January 1939, the bridge wings were enlarged to accommodate the Hotchkiss machine guns on Le Terrible,  and . After the war began, depth-charge stowage increased to 48 and a pair of rails were installed on the stern for  depth charges. Each rail could accommodate 3 depth charges and 15 more were stored in the magazine. In early 1940 twin-gun 37 mm mounts replaced the single-gun mounts and four Browning 13.2-millimeter AA machineguns on single mounts replaced the Hotchkiss machine guns in October–November. One pair was positioned on the bridge wings and the other pair was installed on the quarterdeck. In 1941–1942 the quarterdeck guns were transferred to new platforms on the center superstructure. Le Terrible had the aft superstructure remodeled in early 1942 to create a platform atop the aft ammunition hoists and platforms on each side for 37 mm guns. The twin-gun mounts were repositioned on the upper platform and one of the lower platforms while the other one was occupied by a single mount as there was a shortage of twin-gun mounts. In May the ship was provided with an Alpha-2 sonar system in cases pending the modification of the hull to accommodate the required flexible underwater dome.

Construction and career
Ordered on 20 June 1931 as part of the 1930 Naval Program, Le Terribles hull was laid down on 8 December 1931 by Chantiers Navals Français at their shipyard in Blainville-sur-Orne and it was then towed to Ateliers et Chantiers de la Loire's Nantes shipyard for completion to help keep the former company in business. She was launched on 30 November 1933, commissioned on 15 April 1935, completed on 1 October, and entered into service on 5 February 1936. Completion was delayed when her turbines stripped some of their blades and required lengthy repairs. When the Le Fantasques entered service they were assigned to the newly formed 8th and 10th Light Divisions () which were later redesignated as scout divisions (); both divisions were assigned to the 2nd Light Squadron () in Brest. As of 1 October 1936 ,  and  were assigned to the 8th Light Division while Le Terrible, Le Fantasque and L'Audacieux belonged to the 10th.

Albert Lebrun, President of France, inaugurated the new building of the Naval Academy () in Brest and reviewed the 2nd Squadron on 30 May 1936, including L'Indomptable, L'Audacieux, Le Fantasque, and Le Terrible. Between 15 January and 26 February 1937, the 2nd Light Squadron cruised as far south as Conakry, French West Africa. On 27 May, Alphonse Gasnier-Duparc, Minister of the Navy, reviewed the fleet, including all of the Le Fantasques.

World War II
Both the 8th and 10th Scout Divisions were assigned to the  at Brest when war was declared in September 1939; it made only a single sortie as a complete unit on 2–6 September when it responded to an erroneous report that German ships had left port. Afterwards it was dispersed into smaller groups to search for German commerce raiders and blockade runners. During 21–30 October, the , including all of the Le Fantasques, screened Convoy KJ 4 against a possible attack by the heavy cruiser . On 25 November, together with Le Fantasque and the heavy cruiser , Le Terrible captured the  German merchantman . The ships of the 10th Scout Division escorted the  and the British aircraft carrier  as they searched for German ships in the Central Atlantic 7–13 November. The division escorted Strasbourg and the heavy cruiser  back to France on 18 November. The battleship  sailed for Canada on 11 December with a cargo of gold and she was escorted for the next two days by Le Terrible, Le Triomphant, ,  and .

In anticipation of an Italian declaration of war, the , including Le Terrible, assembled in Mers-el-Kébir, French Algeria, on 5–9 April, only to return to Brest when the Germans invaded Norway on the 10th. The ship returned to Mers-el-Kébir together with the bulk of the  on 27 April. She took part in a sortie by the  into the Western Mediterranean on 12–13 June, after Italy declared war on the Allies on the 10th. Le Terrible was in Mers-el-Kébir when the British attacked the ships there, hoping to deny them to the Germans, on 3 July. She exited the harbor and engaged British destroyers as she escorted Strasbourg back to Toulon.

The Vichy French government established the High Sea Forces ( (FHM)) on 25 September after it negotiated rules limiting the force's activities and numbers with the Italian and German Armistice Commissions. Le Terrible completed a refit in late 1940 and was assigned to the FHM on 25 December before sailing to Dakar on 11 February 1941 as a replacement for L'Audacieux, which had been crippled by the British during the Battle of Dakar the previous September. Le Terrible returned to Toulon for a refit that lasted from 31 December 1941 to 14 June 1942.

Free French operations

After the Allies invaded French North Africa on 8 November, French West Africa and its fleet, including Le Terrible and her sister Le Fantasque, joined the Allies on 24 November. The sisters steamed to Casablanca, French Morocco, where their light anti-aircraft guns were removed, on 21 January 1943 and then to the Charlestown Navy Yard in Boston to be modernized. Arriving on 21 February, Le Terribles refit lasted until 22 May and included the addition of a license-built Alpha 128 ASDIC system, installation of SA early-warning and SF surface search radars, the removal of her aft torpedo tubes and the conversion of some boiler feedwater tanks to fuel oil to improve her range. Her AA armament now consisted of eight  Bofors guns in a quadruple mount superfiring over the aft 138.6 mm guns, and two twin mounts forward of the aft funnel; eight  Oerlikon guns were also added in single mounts, four on the sides of the bridge and the remaining guns on platforms on the aft superstructure. These changes added about  to the ship's displacement. After the refit, she was reclassified as a light cruiser and the 10th Scout Division was redesignated as the 10th Light Cruiser Division (). Despite the modernization work in Boston, the ships' turbines were prone to frequent breakdowns during heavy use and required a lot of maintenance. To compensate, the French adopted a policy of keeping two of the three ships in the 10th Light Cruiser Division (LCD) operational at any one time while the third ship was repaired.

Le Terrible visited the islands of the French West Indies just after they joined the Free French in July 1943. She departed Martinique on 30 July and arrived in Dakar on 5 August before sailing to Algiers, French Algeria, where she arrived on 15 August. Together with Le Fantasque, she sortied in search of Axis shipping off Scalea, Italy, on 20–21 August, where the ships engaged Italian motor torpedo boats and then in the Bay of Naples on 21–22 August. The sisters were among the escorts for the British Force H during the Salerno landings (Operation Avalanche) on 9 September. As the Germans began evacuating Corsica on 10 September, the Allies began landing troops. On the night of 13/14 September, Le Terrible helped to landed 500 troops at Ajaccio, along with  of supplies, after which the ship was immobilized with turbine problems. She was reclassified as a light cruiser on 28 September. On 17 October Le Fantasque and Le Terrible departed Oran, French Algeria, on 17 October to rendezvous with the battleship  at the Azores, Portugal, and escorted her to Mers-el-Kébir. The following month, the sisters conducted two unsuccessful raids searching for German shipping in the Aegean Sea on 19–20 and 22–24 November in conjunction with the British light cruiser .

In late February the 10th LCD was tasked to conduct deep raids in the Adriatic in search of German shipping. The raid on 27–28 was unsuccessful, but on the night of 18/19 March, Le Terrible and Le Fantasque encountered a German convoy and sank two Siebel ferries and damaged two other ferries. Both cruisers were struck by return fire that wounded eight men aboard Le Fantasque and one crewman on Le Terrible. The ships were refitted and then transferred to Alexandria, Egypt, to conduct patrols south of Crete and in the Aegean in April where they had no engagements. Transferred back to the Adriatic in June, Le Terrible and Le Fantasque sank the small oil tanker  on the 17th. On 15 August, the 10th LCD provided naval gunfire support during Operation Dragoon, the Allied landing in Provence, Le Terrible firing 158 shells from her main guns and then provided gunfire support for the troops advancing on Cannes. Together with Le Fantasque, Le Terrible escorted Richelieu to Toulon on 1 October. During night exercises in December, Le Terrible collided with Le Malin, severing the latter's bow and killed a total of 70 men between them. Le Terribles hull was damaged for a length of  with four major holes that flooded the aft engine and boiler rooms.

Postwar activities
The ship was under repair at Bizerte, French Tunisia, until 1 January 1946. One of her 40 mm twin-gun mounts had been damaged beyond repair by the collision and both mounts were replaced by single guns protected by gun shields. She returned to Toulon on 26 April and then, together with Le Malin, Le Terrible made a show the flag cruise to northern Europe in May. On 1 January 1947, the 10th LCD was combined with the 4th Division of Cruisers into the Cruiser Group; during this time, only two of the four surviving ships of the class were active at any one time because of a shortage of trained personnel. Le Terrible was active in 1947 and 1948 before being decommissioned on 12 July. She was transferred to Bizerte on 27 April 1949 and placed in reserve there on 15 March 1950. All of the Le Fantasque-class ships were reclassified as escort destroyers, 1st class () on 1 July 1951 and then as fast escorts () in 1953.

In 1964, Clay defeated the then heavyweight champion Sonny Liston.

Depending upon how long you will be visiting, you will have some difficult choices on choosing where to go and what to do, especially between the primary theme parks. Families on vacation with young children should definitely visit the Magic Kingdom at the Walt Disney World Resort. It is the most visited theme park in Orlando. That's saying a lot because it's also the original theme park in Central Florida. Younger children will love this park while your teenagers may not appreciate it as much.
Teenagers with the love of wild rides will probably prefer Universal or Islands of Adventure with it's myriad of roller coasters. If you love roller coasters these parks are definitely for you. While Sea World has a few roller coasters it's certainly not the main attraction. The sea life is amazing and the tricks they can get the animals to do is by far the best part of Sea World. It's great for seniors with an abundance of shows that encompass the animal life at Sea World.
EPCOT Center is also typically more of an adult park than one for kids. With it's many events throughout the year it is a great choice for adults or families with older children. That leaves two major parks to consider Disney Studio's and Animal Kingdom both are fun parks with a little bit of something for everyone including roller coasters, tame rides and an abundance of shows especially at the Disney Studios. To be completely honest if I were to choose between these two parks I'd visit Animal Kingdom for the variety of offerings.

Microsoft SharePoint As A Managed Service?
Each time I chat with a VAR or solutions provider, the topic of Microsoft SharePoint seems to pop into the conversation. Channel players are having great success deploying SharePoint for their customers. It begs the question: Will SharePoint emerge as a managed service as well? I believe so, but what's your take?
In case you haven't worked with SharePoint, the software allows users to collaborate on content, easily find documents, etc.
Companies like SharePointHosting.com, Own Web Now Corp. and AIS Network Corp. have been quick to offer SharePoint as a hosted service — but I don't have a feel yet for the potential profit margins SharePoint can generate.
Still, it's a safe bet that more MSPs will pile into the SharePoint market as Microsoft polishes its own Online Services strategy, which the company announced on March 3.
We have been wrestling with this question internally as well. It appears some in the market are adding this as a component of hosted Exchange offerings. We are still not sure what the revenue potential truly is for this as a service vs. the cost of support. The jury is still out.
Brian: The jury may still be out in terms of ROI, but the overall vote from the channel seems to be "go with SharePoint." I know quite a few managed service providers and VARs that speak highly of their SharePoint businesses.
While I have a healthy skepticism about other MSFT channel pushes (Vista, etc.), SharePoint seems to be a winner for partners.
Please let us know what you ultimately decide. I'm sure our readers would like to hear about your experiences, both pro and con. Thanks.
Why does Sharepoint not get the traction in the MSP offering it deserves. Our company mission is to use technology to improve our clients business processes and ultimately their bottom line. What better tool to do this for the general processes that are common to all businessess than with than Sharepoint…and to top it off WSS 3.0 is FREE!
Tony: I'm hearing from more and more MSPs that (A) leverage SharePoint internally and (B) promote SharePoint to customers. I don't want to put words in anyone's month but I believe a few of the key MSP/VAR peer group organizations use SharePoint to help coordinate group activities.
I agree with Tony- there's definitely an opportunity for a managed services offering built around the front side of SharePoint. My company, Azaleos, offers managed services for the back-end of SharePoint. Our service is built around best practices for deployment and governance at the server level- basically, we build the baseball field and the umpires and then let the customers play ball. While our services keep the lights on the the grass trimmed, we've found that customers need someone to make sure they're still touching all of the bases as their company's reliance on SharePoint grows. I could see a managed service built around front-end development and remediation, semi-regular healthchecks and internal "how-to-use" training.
Rick: I must concede. I'm not sure how MSPs and VARs can continually "profit" from SharePoint. But there's no doubt SharePoint remains a massive (growing) market opportunity. Keep us posted as Azaleos makes more SharePoint moves.
We're also watching a range of companies (Box.net, Alfresco, etc.) that strive to offer SharePoint alternatives.

Lieberman Praises Obama, But Says Too Early to Endorse for 2012
By Jim Meyers and Ken Chandler | Wednesday, 19 January 2011 07:53 PM EST
In his first national video interview since announcing his plans to retire from the U.S. Senate, Sen. Joe Lieberman tells Newsmax.TV that he won't officially endorse President Barack Obama's re-election and that it's "conceivable" he could support a Republican presidential candidate in 2012.
But he quickly adds that Obama "has heard the voice of the American people" and praises him for accomplishments in foreign affairs. Lieberman says Obama has been moving toward the center following the big GOP gains in the November elections, which the Connecticut senator sees as a positive development.
The veteran Connecticut legislator, an independent Democrat, surprised many Wednesday by announcing he won't seek re-election in 2012. He asserts that he has no regrets over bolting from his own party to back Republican John McCain for president against Obama in 2008, saying he was the candidate "best prepared" for the job.
Story continues below video.
Lieberman also says the atmosphere in Washington is "far too partisan," and concedes that his "independent-mindedness" has hurt him politically.
He also suggests that the House's plan to repeal Obamacare will fail, but that it will lead to an open discussion about the law passed by Congress last year, which Lieberman said could be improved.
Lieberman voted for the Obama-backed national healthcare plan. But in exchange for his crucial swing vote, Democrats dropped the plan's inclusion of a "public option" that critics said would have led to the end of private health care in the U.S.
Lieberman was first elected to the Senate in 1988, re-elected as a Democrat in 1994 and 2000, and became a lion in the august body championing national security issues and an aggressive U.S. foreign policy.
In 2000, he ran unsuccessfully for vice president on former Vice President Al Gore's ticket. The ticket lost narrowly.
Despite the defeat, Lieberman strongly backed President Bush's war on terror, and become one of the administration's strongest Democratic allies in Congress for such issues.
For supporting Bush's anti-terror policies, in 2006 Lieberman faced a stiff challenge in the Democratic primary in Connecticut. He lost the primary but won re-election to the Senate as an independent, with overwhelming support of Republican and independent voters.
He continued to caucus with the Democrats, but he upset many in the party when he backed McCain in 2008 and even spoke in his support at the Republican National Convention.
In the sit-down interview conducted shortly after his Wednesday press conference in Stamford, Conn., Newsmax magazine Editor in Chief Ken Chandler asked Lieberman about his official announcement on Wednesday that he will not seek re-election.
"Today I feel very good about the decision I've made, about what I've been able to accomplish," he says.
"I'm looking forward to the next two years, devoting myself fully to the business of the Senate without having to worry about a campaign.
"Why did I decide not to run? I've quoted Ecclesiastes: For every thing there is a season and a time for every purpose under Heaven. Bottom line, at the end of this term I will have been in the Senate for 24 years. I will have been in elective office for 40 years. I will have run 15 campaigns in Connecticut. For me I think it's time for another season and another purpose under Heaven."
Asked if the atmosphere in Washington has become too toxic, Lieberman responds: "The atmosphere in Washington is much too partisan, and yet I have really focused on trying to build bridges between the parties to get things done.
"As I look back at the work I did across party lines, on foreign policy, for instance ending the genocide against Muslims in the Balkans, the work I did across party lines to create the Office of Homeland Security, and just recently the bipartisan work to repeal the 'don't ask, don't tell' policy — those are things that you can still do in a partisan atmosphere.
"But it is too partisan for someone like me who doesn't fit into the political boxes, because I always felt that my greatest loyalty was not to the party but to my constituents, to my state, to my country."
Lieberman says his independence both hurt and helped him as a senator.
"I think it helped me to be a good senator, a productive senator, to get things done, because I've had credibility. It probably didn't help me politically, because there are people in both parties who want people in their party to be 100 percent ideologically pure, and that's unnatural for Americans. We're independent-minded.
"My independent-mindedness probably hurt me politically, but I did what I thought was right, and I think it made me a better senator."
Lieberman acknowledges that his support for McCain in 2008 upset many Democrats in Connecticut.
"But I did what I thought was right," he adds.
"I was an independent. I was re-elected as an independent. So I could make an independent judgment. John McCain and I are very close friends, and he's a national hero. But beyond that, he and I agree almost totally cross the board on foreign policy and defense policy," Lieberman says.
"He asked me if I'd help him across party lines and I said I would because I think you're best prepared to be the president we need now.
"But when the economy collapsed in September of 2008, I think any chance Senator McCain had of getting elected was gone. But I don't regret having supported him."
Lieberman says he has enjoyed working with Obama since he entered the White House and is "pretty pleased" with his foreign policy overall.
"He's stuck with the Iraq war," the senator says. "He hasn't precipitously pulled out as a lot of people hoped he would the day after he got elected. And in Afghanistan he's increased our troop presence by over 30,000. He's committed to winning the war there. He's been very tough on Iran. So overall I'm very pleased and happy to work with him."
Lieberman says it's "too early to say" if he thinks Obama deserves to be re-elected and if he would support Obama in 2012.
"But as I've said, President Obama has done some things, particularly in foreign policy, that I think have been very solid and really in the bipartisan mainstream of American foreign policy tradition. That's all to the good.
"I haven't agreed with everything he's done, but I think he's building a decent record. The reason I said it's too early is because we're only halfway through the Obama administration and we don't know who the Republicans will put up, so I'll watch it with real interest."
Asked point-blank if it is conceivable Lieberman might support a Republican presidential candidate in 2012, he responds: "It's conceivable, but I wouldn't want to overstate that because I think in many ways President Obama, particularly in the past several months, has heard the voice of the American people in the election last November, and I think he's followed that course.
"The agreement on extending the Bush tax cuts, which was the right agreement for our country and our economy, the repeal of don't ask, don't tell, these are steps in the right direction. But we'll see. It's still early."
Lieberman agrees that the second half of Obama's term could be a replay of Bill Clinton's move toward the center following big GOP gains in Congress in 1996.
"This happens to a lot of presidents. President Clinton went through this. He made some changes. It's not bad.
Elections matter in our country. People speak as loudly and freely as they did last November. President Obama listened and I think he's moving in a direction that's good for the country. I think that's the best thing that can happen for him politically as well."
Lieberman offers this advice for Obama: "What I'd like to see is for him to continue to build on some of those foreign and defense policies to show how much he understands, and I know he does, that we continue to succeed in Iraq, that the Iraqis develop a self-governing, self-defending country, and we continue to make progress in Afghanistan — and on the probably most threatening international issue of the day, we don't let the Iranians ever get nuclear weapons capabilities.
"At home I'd really like to see him take the lead trying to negotiate a bipartisan, longer-term program to get federal spending under control and reduce our debt. I think he can do that."
Lieberman also tells Newsmax it would be a mistake to repeal Obamacare rather than try to improve it.
"This isn't a perfect law, to put it mildly. But this is so big that I think it would be a mistake to just repeal it. I think it can be fixed. I think it can be improved.
"I think the House repeal of healthcare reform is a first step. It is the Republicans in the House keeping their word to the voters. I don't think any of them think it's going to become law. It's the beginning of a conversation to see if we can make this better."
Lieberman says it's also too early to point to a favored choice among potential Republican presidential candidate.
"I know almost all of them personally. Governor Romney, Governor Palin, Governor Pawlenty, Governor Huckabee. So I'm watching. But it's early. We'll see who emerges from the Republican primaries."
Lieberman also says in his Newsmax interview:
If the American economy is not producing wealth and jobs and the government not paying its bills, we're ultimately not going to be "a strong government in the world."
Lieberman believes the way to reduce unemployment is to reduce the national debt, which will elicit a positive reaction from the financial markets, produce increased investment in the United States, and ultimately produce jobs.
He says the claim that Democrats were not liberal enough over the past two years is "the wrong position."
He states that "both parties would be smart to come back to the independent center of American politics, where most of the American people are."
Regarding his plans for his post-Senate years, Lieberman says: "I'll always want to be involved in public service in some way. But I haven't even begun to think about that. But it's exciting just to have the opportunity to think about it."
In his first national video interview since announcing his plans to retire from the U.S. Senate, Sen. Joe Lieberman tells Newsmax.TV that he won't officially endorse President Barack Obama's re-election and that it s conceivable he could support a Republican presidential...

Reviewed by Vincent Dublado for Readers' Favorite
The Maltese Attack is a political thriller with a unique and interesting twist. Jay Perin employs all the necessary elements that make up a good page-turner and on top of it is characterization. The novel opens with U.S. Senator Temple aboard a search-and-rescue helicopter that is careful not to violate Libyan airspace as they try to retrieve two abducted teenagers. Why a senator like Temple is risking his life in such an operation is that he is partly responsible for playing a role in the tragedy. Temple is a friend to three wealthy oil families who were instrumental in helping him get to where he is now. But his past grave error comes back to haunt him, and it will take more than political will to thwart the threat of a powerful, corrupt businessman who is taking over the energy sector. Problems coming from all fronts will thwart Temple. So much is going on in Libya under Gaddafi's tyrannical rule, and back home, he must deal with a political rival who has a possible hand in everything that is happening.
Jay Perin gives a rousing narrative from start to finish. He descriptively shows how Temple winds up in such a predicament, which is something that can truly happen in real life as the echelons of politics have always been marred by bribery and corruption. We see tensions between the Libyan and U.S. governments, which were prevalent back in the seventies when Gaddafi was in power. There is a sense of urgency as Temple races against time to rectify matters. The strength of The Maltese Attack hinges on its intensity as it stirs your curiosity to find out if powerful individuals ever get to do time for their crimes. You might find it easy to categorize this novel as a political thriller, but it is more than that. It crosses other genres easily and without the excessive complexity that you find in many of today's thrillers. This novel is smart and engaging, and the events it presents may well play on your fear that history might repeat itself.
Pikasho Deka
The Maltese Attack is an epic tale of star-crossed lovers set against the backdrop of political ambitions, corporate rivalries, and warring nations. Written by Jay Perin and set in the 1970s, the book follows childhood friends turned lovers Lilah and Harry as they maneuver their way across a volatile Libya to reach a haven in Egypt and escape their captors. After the untimely death of her parents, Lilah and her twin Daniel find themselves pressured into being adopted into the home of billionaire Andrew Barrons. Additionally, Lilah's trip to Libya to visit Harry ends up in disaster, as the duo is captured by kidnappers, whose affiliations seem unpredictable. Lilah and Harry must now use their wits and resilience to survive and seek a safe haven.
A gripping tale filled with twists and turns, The Maltese Attack feels like an entertaining rollercoaster all the way through. Jay Perin's intricately woven political thriller instantly grabs your attention with an engaging plot, sympathetic characters, and an absorbing narrative. The plot moves quickly, and the author uses multiple POV switches to showcase the different factions involved within the story. Jay Perin doesn't shy away from showcasing violence in vivid detail, and the action sequences feel gritty and realistic. I enjoyed the political intrigue in the story where the motives of the politicians felt always hidden. The likes of Sanders and even Temple, to some extent, seemed to cleverly maneuver their pawns into doing their bidding, not unlike the politicians of the real world. I enjoyed The Maltese Attack and would readily recommend it.
Foluso Falaye
Set in 1973, The Maltese Attack by Jay Perin depicts three families subjected to oil wars, terrorism, and political games. Gaddafi, the Libyan dictator, denies the kidnapping of the sixteen-year-old daughter (Lilah) of the former US Special Envoy to the Middle East and her friend, Harry. However, his government refuses to let American personnel conduct a search within the country's borders. As a US senator, Temple had known the political situation of the country was unstable and warned the families of the victims to find safety, but they had refused to sacrifice profit to battle evil. Though Lilah and Harry had grown up together, something romantic brews between them. However, their newfound feelings are tested as they face kidnapping, starvation, and many life-threatening and violent situations. Will Lilah and Harry get through their nightmare in one piece?
The fast-paced narrative takes you through hair-raising scenes and plots about escaping captivity in a foreign country, with explosives and armed forces waiting at every turn. Jay Perin's characters are quite unique and memorable. Lilah's determination to stick to her desires and goals and not compromise her dignity was greatly inspiring. The secrets and political games between governments and oil companies are neatly and expertly embedded in the plot for readers to unravel throughout the course of the story. There are simply no boring moments! A few scenes depict sexual abuse—not in detail—and killing. Readers who love international, political thrillers loaded with dangerous scenarios, and unforeseeable twists would enjoy The Maltese Attack.
The Maltese Attack is a work of fiction in the political thriller subgenre. It is suitable for all ages and was penned by author Jay Perin. The book follows Senator Temple, a man with his hands full of political intrigue both at home and abroad. As he realizes that an error in his past has left the door open for corruption to seep into the world's energy sector, he must rely on a shifting landscape of loyalties and power as three dynasties offer aid but at a cost. The book follows these families as their fragile alliance attempts to hold up world peace.
Author Jay Perin has delivered an intense and arresting political thriller, filled with action and suspense from start to finish. One of my favorite things about this novel was the rich and diverse cast of characters. I particularly enjoyed the budding romance that developed between Harry and Lilah, which added a refreshing break from the grittier and more intense scenes within the book. The varied cast of characters, all with a broad range of pasts and backgrounds, really highlighted the class differences and tension and added to the realism in this book. The Maltese Attack is laced with romance, intrigue, and division but shows, despite the things that divide us, there are plenty of things that unite us too. I would not hesitate to recommend this book to fans of political thrillers, and fans of strong, character-driven stories that will keep you engaged from the very first page.

With just under 40% of French speakers living in Europe and enrollment in French in Europe down by 2% during the 2010–2014 period, the inevitable conclusion is that the future of French is increasingly global, less dependent on Europe than ever before, but—at the same time—all the more impactful, precisely because of the interconnectedness of the globalized world.It has even been predicted that, by 2050, French will become the most widely spoken language in the world.As important as the current situation may be, it is also important to remember that there was another period in history—the 18th century—when French was the global language, as chronicled in Fumaroli's When the World Spoke French—"when the French were at home wherever they went, when Paris was every foreigner's second homeland, and when France became the object of Europe's collective curiosity."In conclusion, more people are speaking and learning French today than ever before, and promotion of the French language is a priority for the French government.
The Promotion of FrenchThe promotion of French "is a priority for French diplomacy." In addition to the appeal of France, Paris, and the French language, culture, and lifestyle, the French government actively promotes French, with more than 700 professionals and a budget of €600 million (USD 750 million) a year. Priority areas include Africa and the Middle East, Europe, the G20 countries, international organizations, economic life, and the media and online.Efforts include the teaching of French through the Alliance Française (445), French Institutes (132), and French Cultural Services, as well as through French international schools (486), teacher training programs, and the promotion of French within specific professional areas.
The Organisation internationale de la Francophonie (OIF), with its 80 members and overall population of one billion, is an example of the global reach of French, and the French government actively supports the French language through a wide range of programs around the world, including the Forum mondial de la langue française and TV5Monde.La Fédération internationale des professeurs de français (FIPF) supports the professional development of French teachers around the world.In addition to its efforts to promote French, the French government has embraced the rise of bilingualism and heritage languages, with its "révolution bilingue," the French Heritage Language Program, the importance of multilingualism and linguistic diversity through its ELAN (Ecole et langues nationales en Afrique) multilingual education program in a dozen African nations, and many more.
The Future of FrenchThere are more people who speak French now than at any other time in history. French is predicted to become the most widely spoken mother tongue in Europe by 2025 and the most widely spoken mother tongue in the world by 2050. In addition, there are approximately 125 million French language learners around the world, and French is actively promoted by the French government and the OIF. The future of French around the world seems assured, and in a globalized and interconnected world, the global resurgence of French is likely to be felt within Europe and the European Union. For those convinced that English is the global lingua franca, it is necessary to remember that English is only spoken by 25% of the world population (British Council).
Concluding ThoughtAs the UK and the EU move toward Brexit, it is important to note current reports of increased interest in foreign language within the UK. Are these merely a coincidence, or a belated response to numerous reports linking foreign language skills to business and professional success, or are they a signal that French is on the rise? Either way, the importance of the French language and francophone culture can no longer be ignored.

Un éloge de la langue française, bien mérité, mais …. l'article est écrit en anglais pour que plus de gens puissent le lire. J'ai remarqué que même Google propose toujours d'abord des sites en anglais même s'il s'agit des réalités françaises.
The whole argumentation is disputable and, to my humble quadrilingual European (and btw French) mind, the real complexity of the languages and countries influences within Europe not captured properly. The most widely spoken native language in the EU is still German and the global influence of Spanish cannot be neglected either.
La plus grande menace pour le français se trouve malheureusement en France.
IL y a 30 ans seulement, le Français de la rue s'exprimait admirablement bien, en utilisant toute les possibilités, les nuances de cette langue merveilleusement évoluée, qui permet de concevoir puis d'exprimer si clairement, si précisément une idée.
Aujourd'hui, il faut absolument bien connaître à la fois l'Anglais et le Français pour arriver à comprendre (approximativement) beaucoup de Français qui vivent en France, qui s'expriment même à la télé.
Bientôt, le dictionnaire français contiendra moins de mots français que le dictionnaire anglais. Et ce n'est pas dû au réchauffement de la planète.
Well, if you would like to see more countries leaving the EU, please continue making the worst languages the official ones. The development has been, and will contune to be, that English is the world language. Like it or not France and Germany!
Europe has been ridden three times with the megalomania of France and Germany – Napoleon, Wilhelm and Hitler. And we do not need neither French or German – English is doing the job nicely.
Tout ce qui est écrit ici n'est pas totalement juste! C'est le français qui perd son influence en vitesse en Europe même en France où la plupparts des jeunes français préfèrent a parler anglais, même les rechercheurs font leurs recherches en utilisant la langue anglaise! Quel malheur pour le français! Même les pays Francophones Africains révoltent contre le français, voir le Rwanda qui vient de s'anglophoniser! L'avenir du français sur la scène globale n'est pas tout à fait certain!

The importance of English as a language for the EU lies not in the number of native speakers but in the number who speak English as a second language. It is widely taught in every member state, and in many having a C1-C2 level is the exception rather than the norm for the younger generation. French simply does not have the same reach, especially in the newer, former communist member states where it often ranks below not only English but Russian, German and the languages of neighbouring countries.
As for there being no countries which have English as an official language left, the only reason Ireland chose Irish as opposed to English as our EU recognised language was that the UK had chosen English already. At the time it was a simple way of giving the language a boost, but thanks to Brexit it's come back to bite us. Given most of us barely speak any Irish I've no doubt a suitable fudge will be found.

GRID Legends Review
Codemasters improves on the latest GRID with a ton of content that also puts gamers in the spotlight.
Almost everything is invented in driving games, but GRID Legends indeed brings something that we don't usually see in simulators, arcades, or hybrids somewhere between the focus on the human part. Yes, some Need For Speed has sought a more cinematic style, the Driver series combined open-world missions well with speed, but they are exceptions. GRID Legends has made it its star mode, seeking to equate the role of the vehicles with that of the drivers and teams that make up the team. It is not a revolution, but Codemasters achieves an approach that can attract players who are not used to playing the genre.
Rivalries that make sparks fly
GRID Legends is a fairly addictive arcade game that generally rewards aggressive driving. You can take risks in curves, almost without stepping on the brake except in the most closed angles, and in extreme cases, you can use the skids. Behaviour must be nuanced according to the class of vehicle we control –although in general, the cars are more stable than in GRIDof 2019-, a pointer racing car is not the same as electric cars, different models and physics have been created, and for example, going down a ramp with a truck is always spectacular -and rewards with points-, but care must be taken not to do it halfway because it's easy to lose control; with a few laps we will learn the weight of the different disciplines and the limits of the machines. But be careful, with several competitors that rise to 22 cars on the track, on circuits that are normally somewhat narrow, any accident will involve several cars – and therefore multiply the number of enemies.
GRID Legends offers the usual speed game modes, which we'll talk about later, but it's definitely worth starting with its campaign, To Glory, which we saw not long ago. It is inspired by the documentary series Formula 1: Drive to Survive and deals with the problems or rivalries of the drivers in this competition, among which is obviously the player, a promising young driver, Driver 22. It has been shot on a documentary basis –with the screen technology of The Mandalorian -simulating interviews with the actors, scenes in the paddock, the training sessions, the offices… In short, all that tension is normally sensed in competitions such as Formula 1, but the public does not see it. Codemasters had already done something like this with F1 2021 's Breaking Point, and it becomes an interesting way to start rolling in the game.
It's not that the level of interpretation is for a prize. Still, in practice, this supposes a succession of missions interspersed by real image videos where our driver and the rest of the grid show their friction inside and outside the race. Connected to this is the Nemesis system because the rivals have their personalities, and driving recklessly or colliding with them on the track creates enmities that are then reflected in the level of aggressiveness – for example, that car tries to block our path more often-. In short, Codemasters wants to overtake a car in the race to be more than advancing a position: it is to beat a driver with a name, surname and face that we know from the story mode. The only catch is that the story doesn't adapt to different outcomes; if you are asked to finish in 10th place, and you are first, your team members may continue to doubt your skills because that is the filmed story.
We liked this mode -more than the story itself- for its function as an introduction to the world of GRID. Throughout their missions, we will be asked for an objective, for example, to stay ahead of such a position or pilot, participating in races of all kinds: the classics, elimination -every few seconds the last players are disqualified-, end to end – instead of closed circuits-, etc., and we will also be testing some of the more than 100 vehicles in his garage, ranging from sports cars to trucks, single-seaters, electric models or hypercars, on the more than 130 tracks, with and without modifications -ramps, turbos-. Once the story is completed, there is not much interest in replayability, as can happen in the story mode of a fighting game or FIFA, but that does not mean that it will entertain us for eight or ten hours.
But there is more. The race creator makes it easy for us to edit the competition with the circuit settings we want, the type of discipline – drifts, by teams, different combined classes, Electric, time trial or Time Trial, the weather conditions -day, sunset, night and the variants sunny, rainy and snowy-, number of vehicles, type of damage, activate or deactivate Flashback -go back a few seconds- and other settings, to play individually or publish it online. And once we look for a more serious challenge, we have a professional career, with a series of events to unlock, in different categories of increasing difficulty where to start the trajectory of our team. A vehicle store accompanies this to buy with the credits – first, you have to unlock the possibility – and a modest adjustment system to adapt the car to our liking; Nobody expects the options of a true simulator, change in the gear ratio, dampers, brake force distribution, springs and stabilizer bars, or the improvement of power, acceleration, braking and handling in a series of levels.
The virtual currency can also be invested in improvements for our mechanic –cheaper repair costs, savings on car purchases, more points for victories…- and the teammate –racing strategies, improvement in efficiency, reduction of errors -, a somewhat basic personalization of our cars -predefined vinyl galleries- and sponsorship with a series of objectives to be met.
The online mode, with cross-play, includes quick match, session search, session creation, or weekly and monthly events to keep the community hooked for a while. There is even an exciting option that we already told you about, the hop-in to enter the races of other players that are already underway, replacing one of the artificial intelligence pilots. We did not see any major problems beyond a vehicle that abruptly changed position in our games, but it was peculiar.
Speaking of the circuits, Codemasters brings us a wide catalogue of real tracks –Brands Hatch, Mount Panorama, Red Bull Ring, Sepang, Suzuka…- and others inspired by the street layout of various cities around the world, including Barcelona, London, Moscow, Dubai, Paris, Chicago, San Francisco, the port of Yokohama… We have a weakness for racing in urban locations, so we really enjoyed the GRID Legends setting, which expands on what was seen in the previous GRID. Although the lighting – slightly revised from GRIDof 2019- or the climatic effects are not the most powerful that we have seen in the genre, the developer's work acquired in 2021 by Electronic Arts is remarkably high. Similar to the last game, yes, but this time with versions for more powerful consoles that will at least look a little better.
It is not a game that tends to pure realism, it is more gimmicky than anything else, and it works thanks to the hustle and bustle of the competition, the fireworks, and the life that an audience so close to the race exudes, at least on the urban tracks. We have played the new generation version. There are not many buts in technical matters; it even has a 120 fps mode on compatible televisions and almost non-existent loading times. In the specific case of PlayStation 5, it makes good use of the adaptive triggers of the DualSense to simulate the touch of the pedals and locks, although the haptic vibration is more discreet.
The music of the races wants to be epic, but we will not find licensed themes or memorable music; It helps add to the drama of the story mode races as long as you have a tolerance for these tunes that get a bit tiresome at times. To complete the immersion, we have the radio comments about the course of the race, the rivals that we are pissing off or the objective of the mission, so GRID Legends constantly reminds us that motor competition is not only about choosing the most powerful car, there is also a human factor.
GRID Legends is promoted as the biggest of the saga -in terms of content- and although to say that it is the best since the days of TOCA Touring Car Championship may be too much, at least it is a very entertaining arcade game with more variety than any other GRID, a leap in quality and quantity compared to what we saw in 2019; uses the base of its predecessor to polish various aspects, add more circuits and modes.
The sensation of speed, the good handling of the vehicles, the cross-play or the intention to erase the border between the creator of races and the multiplayer are enough reasons for arcade fans to celebrate their return. In the end, issues as promoted as the story mode or the return of the Nemesis system are important, but they could not sustain the rest of the sections if the gameplay or number of tracks did not measure up. And luckily, GRID Legends breathes new life into the license and finds its personality.
We prepared this review with a digital review copy of the title provided by Electronic Arts.

As far as I can remember, I've been surrounded by technology. My father bought us a Commodore 64 so I started playing games as a baby, following my passion with Amiga 500, then PC and so on. I love game related collectibles, and when I'm not collecting I review games, watch movies and TV Shows or you may catch me keeping a low profile at Game Events.

Modern Warfare Remaster to get all original maps
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare fans, rejoice; the Modern Warfare Remaster will contain all 16 maps from the original release. …Sort of.
Previously, it was said that only 10 of the original 16 maps would come with the Remaster, and this is true: At launch, the game will come with 10 of Modern Warfare's most popular maps. However, it has just been announced that by December, the remaining 6 maps will be released for free.
All 16 Modern Warfare MP maps are coming to all #MWRemastered owners. That's 10 #MWRemastered maps at launch and 6 maps coming in December.
— Call of Duty (@CallofDuty) September 2, 2016
The Remaster is still only available to those who purchase Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, and even then, only those who buy the Legacy, Digital Deluxe, or Legacy Pro bundles. The most inexpensive option for getting the Remaster is $80, and fans should keep in mind that the game isn't on disc, it's a full game download, so make sure you have the room on your system (and internet connection) before committing.
If this all still sounds good to you, also keep in mind that those who preorder on the PS4 will be able to play the Remaster's campaign a full 30 days before the PC or Xbox One.
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered will release in full November 4th.
