The Hotchkiss M1922 was a light machine gun manufactured by Hotchkiss.

It was never adopted in large numbers by the French Army; nevertheless, it was exported to many European and Latin American countries under the names Hotchkiss M1926 or Hotchkiss M1934.

Description
The Fusil-Mitrailleur (FM) Model 1922 is a classic weapon with a fixed stock, pistol grip and wooden handguard. It has a non-telescopic folding bipod. The cocking handle is on the right side, just like the ejection port. The FM's caliber varied with the user, being chambered in a wide range of calibres and fed from either 20-round overhead magazines or an extended feed strip (Greek model). Its maximum range is 2000m, and it had a regulator that could adjust the rate of fire.

Use
The Hotchkiss M1922 was used with great success by the Greek Army during Greco-Italian War. It was also used by the Chinese Nationalist Army during the Second Sino-Japanese War to fight against the Japanese Imperial Army and was frequently used in the Spanish Civil War by the Nationalist and in small numbers, the Republicans.

Versions
There were several versions with different feed systems, calibers and improvements, among which were the Hotchkiss M1924 and M1926, the last of which spawned the Greek modified Hotchkiss machine gun.

Users

  - M1922 in 7×57mm Mauser
  - received 1000 M1924 (vz. 24) in 7.92×57mm Mauser
  - Mitrailleuse légère Hotchkiss type 1934, used in French colonies : Liban and French Indochina
  - 6.5×54mm Mannlicher–Schönauer and 7.92×57mm Mauser, 6000 used
  - ~3,500 in 7.92×57mm Mauser between 1931-1939
  - 3,000 Hotchkiss Model 1922 O.C. (Oviedo and A Coruña), in 7×57mm Mauser
  - from Spanish Army and Czechoslovakia
  - .303 British, only for evaluation
  - 7.92×57mm Mauser
  Viet Minh - used during First Indochina War

Pakamisa is set in the pristine wilderness of northern Zululand. The lodge offers exceptional comfort. Accommodation is in 8 luxurious safari suites complete with lounge and veranda – each with sweeping views over the beautiful surround countryside. The large pool is beautifully positioned overlooking the distant mountains beyond which is the Kingdom of Swaziland. Accommodation is provided on an all inclusive basis. As well as a sumptuous breakfast, dinner is served in the opulent restaurant and most of the vegetables and salads are grown organically on the reserve. The reserve's resident owners are an Austrian / South African couple and there is an Austrian theme in the buildings. The attention to detail by the owners is exceptional. We recommend asking for a tour of the stables – they are immaculate! Just take a look at the lodge's Trip Advisor reviews to see that this will be a well rewarded experience.
The property is close to the Jozini Lake, which offers good fishing including the tiger fish. Pakamisa is also an Arabian Stud and horseback safaris are offered to provide you with true feeling of wilderness among mostly plains game. The Wellness Centre can also provide you with massages and a health and beauty service. Durban is a 3 1/2 hour drive and Johannesburg is 5 hours away. The Hluhluwe National Park with its wonderful array of animals is an hour's drive. We do, however, expect your main interest will be enjoying the excellent riding through gthe African bush.

With No Trump To Kick Around, What Will Unite The Democrats?
After years of a singular focus on destroying one man and his followers, are Democrats actually prepared to govern?
by Guest Sources
in Opinion, Political
Charlotte, NC — Article originally appeared on Liberty Nation. You can access the original article here.
In a nation defined by its heterogeneous and politically diverse population, there have been times when we put our differences aside to defeat an enemy committed to our destruction. It should have happened during the pandemic, but shamefully did not. It did materialize for a short time after the attacks of 9/11, and for years during World War II and the "greatest generation," when Republicans and Democrats alike recognized the existential threat posed by Germany and Japan and united under the banner of saving the world.
An Alliance Built On Hate
A most unfortunate manifestation of that type of alliance has been on display over the last four years. Democrats, defeated, divided, and adrift at sea following a shocking renunciation by voters in 2016, found a common lifeboat to which they could all cling. It was a mutual hatred of Donald Trump which knitted together a tired, discredited party establishment with fired-up progressives on a joint mission to take down the evil orange man.
Whether legitimately or not, this alliance between the left and the Swamp succeeded. The relic Joe Biden is set to assume the presidency. But much like the classic movie The Candidate, in which Robert Redford comes out of nowhere to win a Senate seat and then looks at his campaign manager, deer in the headlights, and asks, "what do we do now?" Democrats no longer united by a revulsion to Trump will soon be reduced to arguing among themselves. Joe Biden was all they could offer for the highest office in the land. The first-ever negative coattails of this declining figure named our next president obliterated the party's substantial majority in the House. The best they could do in the Senate they expected to control was a messy last-minute tie.
With Trump out of the picture, what exactly will unite a party so fractured that everyone openly suspects its leader won't even last one term in the White House, and the woman who would take his place is widely distrusted and unpopular? Its leading light, AOC, openly admits to wanting Nancy Pelosi removed as speaker of the House. Its remaining so-called moderates (read traditional liberals) begged the party's progressive bigwigs (read Bernie Sanders) never to use the word socialist again, while those very socialists form the base of the party.
Rebels Without A Cause
Neither dual victories in Georgia nor the attack on the Capitol nor the present talk of a second impeachment changes the fact that a party given over to the singular mission of destroying one man and his followers for the entirety of his administration is hardly prepared to govern. We can already see the cabinet named by the prospective new president as little more than a balancing act designed to mollify a party with no clear vision. After defining themselves as the resistance for lo these many years, and their presidential candidate solely as not Trump, is their core hollowed out? Can they even credibly present a positive vision when their unrelentingly negative actions have infuriated half the nation? Will they actually be able to govern when tens of millions of voters are convinced the election that put them into power was illegitimate?
Any coalition cobbled together for the sole purpose of destroying a common enemy is inherently fractured at best, disastrous at worst. American history is replete with worst-case scenarios that backfired in the worst possible way: Our common cause made with Josef Stalin in defeating Hitler. Our temporary alliance with Osama bin Laden to run the Soviets out of Afghanistan. Our takedown of Saddam Hussein with the aid of rebels who later threw the middle east into violent chaos.
This is not to say that progressives and liberals are enemies, but they are competitors, adversaries even, for the soul of a party which has so tarnished its honor and integrity – collusion hoaxes, impeachment over a phone call, name-calling and scurrilous accusations to make a schoolyard blush, pure derangement – that it will take far more than carefully crafted slogans about building back better to convince the American people that the Democratic Party is now prepared to lead.

Q: How do I set variables in latex template used for pandoc markdown to pdf conversion I'm sorry if this is a bit of a pandoc question, but I'm hoping you tex users have some familiarity with latex templates within pandoc. I'm very new at this, but am excited to get a good work flow going.
I'm trying to figure out how to use latex templates with pandoc when creating a pdf from a markdown file using
pandoc file.md -o file.pdf --template=default.latex

In the command line. I got the default latex template from
pandoc -D latex > default.latex

The pandoc documentation says a bit about using templates and from what I understood, suggested to modify the default (I may very well have understood completely wrong). pandoc template documentation
My main problem is that I can't figure out how to set variables such as title, author, etc... do I do that in the default.latex file? or in the markdown file?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or directions to some good guides.
EDIT/UPDATE:
Okay, so looks like pandoc template variables are not controlled in the LaTex template code. For reference, however, I'll mention the following:

*

*Variables are set automatically by Pandoc and can be used within the template. You cannot set variables in the template. However, you can set them in the original MD source file by means of a YAML metadata block.

*Also, "Variables may be set at the command line using the -V/--variable option".

see http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/README.html#templates for more info
I guess this question can be closed as off topic.

Under certain market conditions, you may find it difficult or impossible to liquidate a position (for instance, sell gold that you own through the TWM Program for United States Dollars or other legal tender).
Although there are industrial applications for gold in electronics, dentistry, medicine and aerospace, among others, the vast majority of gold production is used for investment and jewelry. As a result, the price of gold, unlike some other commodities, tends not to be very responsive to changes to the supply of gold being produced or the demand for industrial uses for gold.
Funds deposited by customers with a Custodial Participant in the TWM Program may not be held in a separate account for your individual benefit. A Custodial Participant may commingle the funds received from customers in one or more accounts which may expose you to losses incurred by other customers if the Custodial Participant does not have sufficient capital to cover such other customers' trading losses.
The funds you deposit with a Custodial Participant are not generally guaranteed or insured by a clearinghouse in the event of a bankruptcy or insolvency of the Custodial Participant. The funds you deposit with a Custodial Participant for trading gold in the TWM Program are not protected by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation even if the Custodial Participant is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a broker or dealer.
The funds that you deposit with a Custodial Participant may be invested in one or more financial instruments. The Custodial Participant may retain the interest and other earnings realized from its investment of customer funds depending in its agreements with its customers. You should be familiar with the types of financial instruments that a Custodial Participant my invest customer funds in.
A Custodial Participant may deposit customer funds with affiliated entities, such as affiliated banks, securities brokers or dealers, futures commission merchants, or foreign brokers. You should inquire as to whether your Custodial Participant deposits customer funds with affiliates and assess whether such deposits by the Custodial Participant with its affiliates increases the risks to your funds.
You should consult your Custodial Participant concerning the nature of protections available to safeguard funds or property deposited in your account.
If your Custodial Participant or another person provides margin for you to trade gold in the TWM Program, you should be aware that margin can work against you as well as for you. Margin can lead to large losses as well as gains. If you trade on margin, it is possible for you to sustain a total loss of the funds that you deposit with your Custodial Participant, and you may incur losses beyond these amounts. If the market moves against your position, you may be called upon by your Custodial Participant (or other margin provider) to deposit substantial amounts of additional margin funds, on short notice, in order for you to maintain your position. If you do not provide the required funds within the time required by your Custodial Participant (or other margin provider), your position may be liquidated at a loss, and you will be liable for any resulting deficit in your account.
The TWM Program operates an "over-the-counter" trading platform. Transactions executed on the TWM Trading Platform must be bilaterally settled between the Custodial Participants representing the buyer and seller in each transaction. There is no clearing agency or clearinghouse guaranteeing the settlement of each trade. If a Custodial Participant fails to perform in settling a transaction you have engaged in, you may be exposed to replacement and credit risk causing a loss to you.
Depositories storing gold traded in the TWM Program have placed certain limitations on their liability for the loss of gold held by them for the TWM Program. Please see the depository limitations of liability set forth in the applicable Product Specification. Certain depositories may be located outside of the United States. As such, the rights and responsibilities of such depositories as bailees of gold held on your behalf may be governed by the law of the country in which they are located. Any such laws may provide for different rights and responsibilities of these depositories as bailees in their safekeeping of the gold that you own and that they hold on your behalf than the laws of the United States.

Limitation period for claims or actions for compensation.
In case of occupational exposure to radiation, as defined in this article, or of injury or disability resulting therefrom, all claims for compensation shall be forever barred, unless within one year after the employee first suffered disability therefrom and either knew or in the exercise of reasonable diligence should have known that the disability was caused therefrom, but in no event more than three years after date of the injury as hereinafter defined, the parties shall have agreed upon the compensation payable under this article, or unless within such period of time one of the parties shall have filed a verified complaint as provided in Section 25-5-88. In case of death, all claims for compensation shall be forever barred, unless the death results proximately from occupational exposure to radiation, as defined in this article, and occurs within three years of the date of the injury, as hereinafter defined, and unless within one year after such death the parties shall have agreed upon the compensation under this article, or unless within one year after such death one of the parties shall have filed a verified complaint as provided in Section 25-5-88; provided, however, that if upon the date of the death of the employee the employee's claim is barred, any claim by or for his dependents shall likewise be barred.

While I haven't had as much exposure to Japanese whisky as I'd like, the expressions I've tried have all left me with the desire to explore more. So when I recently heard that Suntory Australia would be increasing the range of whiskies they import, I was pretty excited.
Previously, the Suntory range in Australia was pretty much limited to Yamazaki 12 year old. If you looked hard enough, you could probably track down an entry level Hakushu or Hibiki, but you'd pay a pretty penny for them.
While the 12 year old expressions and Hibiki 17 have been around for a while in many overseas markets, apparently this is the first time the Distiller's Reserve offerings have been made available outside the Japanese market.
They were recently launched in the UK as well (and received some fairly high praise), so I'm really looking forward to seeing what they're like when they land here.
Smaller quantities of the above will start finding their way behind the counter of your favourite bar around April. We should also start to see these expressions in select independent retailers from May onwards.
As for the price? Expect to pay around the AU$80 mark for the Distiller's Reserve expressions, AU$110 for the 12 year olds and around the AU$160 mark for Hibiki 17 year old.

Justice Centre
Our design for the Neighbourhood Justice Centre (NJC) supports a restorative approach to justice and enables support services to work alongside the community. The project marks the first community justice centre in Australia, based upon global best-practice, and acts as a blueprint for a more holistic approach to justice. Through consultation and research we interrogated previous approaches to the design of justice spaces and developed an approach that responds to its local community, reduces stress for staff and visitors, and fosters collaboration between legal, policing and support services. An unassuming building from the street, the progressive thinking behind the NJC quietly and confidently works to build a stronger, safer community.

Located on the traditional lands of the Wurundjeri and Boon Wurrung people
2850 square metres
Complete, 2007
Located on Wellington Street in Collingwood, the site was selected based on feasibility studies, its ability to be identified in the local community, and its flexibility for reuse and rework. The landmark site was a bootmaker in 1911 and required expertise to be adapted and upgraded. Described as modest in budget and street impact, the project is ambitious in its ability to redefine justice in the inner city, including for the Koori community. The project successfully achieves these outcomes thanks to its early intervention, alternative dispute resolution, therapeutic justice, a Koori court, and integrated service delivery model.
Designing for a therapeutic justice model
The objective of the Neighbourhood Justice Centre (NJC) is to bring smaller cases out of the city and into a familiar setting in the context of support services. As a pilot project, many of the established principles of court and tribunal design were critically reviewed through a series of inclusive workshops with community, government agencies, researchers, policy-makers and courts staff. The outcome is a multi-jurisdictional court and tribunal that offers flexible spaces for service delivery to assist victims, defendants, civil litigants and the local community. Rather than being greeted by an x-ray scanner, trained security staff move about the foyer and waiting spaces, greeting visitors and offering assistance.
The design makes the process of justice transparent and less intimidating, with views into hearing spaces and meeting rooms. The layout adapts and expands the heritage building to improve connections between floors and add secure outdoor spaces. Natural materials such as the recycled ironbark seating in the foyer create the sense of a community centre, rather than a court building. To further its community identity the building is designed for community uses, with spaces able to be booked for meetings and art exhibitions hosted in the public spaces.

Frozen vegetables are just as nutritious as fresh vegetables—they're usually frozen at the peak of freshness. The key to not losing nutrients when cooking frozen veggies is to cook them quickly. If you roast them correctly, you'd never be able to tell they didn't come straight from the farmers market. Here's the best technique.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly coat a roasting pan with cooking spray.
Thaw frozen vegetables halfway so you can separate and spread them out on the pan.
Put the vegetables on the greased roasting pan, and sprinkle them lightly with salt, pepper, rosemary and garlic.
Cover the roasting pan loosely with aluminum foil and put it in the oven.
Let the vegetables cook for 20 minutes.
Remove the roasting pan from the oven, peel back the aluminum foil and turn over the vegetables with a spatula.
Loosely cover the pan again with the aluminum foil and place it back in the oven for 15 minutes.
Remove the the aluminum foil and continue to cook uncovered in the oven for an additional 10 minutes.
Remove the vegetables from the oven. They're ready if you can easily pierce them with a fork. If not, continue to cook them, checking every 2 to 3 minutes until done.


"Aldous in Istanbul" at Marlusse et Lapin, 14 Rue Germain Pilon, Paris, 18eme (from 13 November to 10 December 2008) is an exhibition of 29 of the 36 paintings on photographs I have made so far for a film in collaboration with two young, French film-maker friends of mine, Gilles Blaize and Julien Tréfouël. The film is called "Dreaming Istanbul" and is to be shown in Istanbul, Turkey in 2010 when Istanbul has been nominated as European City of Culture.
Gilles and Julien have almost finished the editing of the film and are waiting for me to paint the last 15 images before handing the film over to the fourth member of our team, the composer Dryden Hawkins, for the soundtrack.

Made with upcycled denim, this scarf has a fun and unique character. It measures roughly 20 inches by 9 inches and features a lightweight, wide crochet gauge.
The scarf will likely stretch with wear. We recommend spot cleaning as necessary. The darker blue section may transfer color from it, but it washes off with ease.
