Artificial Intelligence Research Overview Platform
SWITCH is a partner of the SATW initiative Swiss Artificial Intelligence Research Overview Platform (SAIROP). The data for the platform is linked via the Connectome Knowledge Graph.
Published on 20.05.2021
As an enabling technology that is finding its way into all areas of daily life, AI is of outstanding importance for Switzerland as a research location and for future value creation. The planned platform - the Swiss Artificial Intelligence Research Overview Platform (SAIROP) - will provide an overview of current research projects and the competencies of Swiss research institutions in the field of AI. The projects thus receive better visibility, the expertise of research groups in the field of AI is presented more clearly and it creates new access for the initiation of future projects.
The partners from research funding, academia and industry will compile information from existing databases, process it and make it more accessible by means of the new platform, which is likely to be unique in Europe in terms of the planned level of detail. This is where the Connectome Knowledge Graph comes into play: the data from different sources are linked in the background and thus enable the competences of Swiss research groups to be shown on the basis of current projects via SAIROP as a central access point. SAIROP is scheduled to be launched in fall 2021 and will be publicly accessible.

The Research Data Connectome
Scientists across disciplines generate increasing amounts of valuable data as part of their daily research activities. Being able to reuse or even combine such scientific data opens the door to many exciting possibilities. Until now, research data has been collected in domain or institutional silos and could not be easily connected.
The Research Data Connectome connects and organises (open) scientific (meta)data sustainably across disciplines to make it widely accessible, interoperable and valuable. Building a Connectome prototype is a joint effort by DaSCH, FORS, EPFL Blue Brain, eXascale Infolab, SATW,
SAGW, BCUL and SWITCH.

The Ensemble: Playing with "…consummate style, grace, and unity of spirit" (The New York Times), eleven-musician baroque string ensemble ACRONYM has been dedicated to giving modern premieres of the wild instrumental music of the seventeenth century since 2012. This is a not-to-be-missed first appearance on the Renaissance & Baroque Concert Series.
ACRONYM's musicians can also be heard in Apollo's Fire, Tafelmusik, Handel and Haydn Society, Boston Early Music Festival, the English Concert, International Contemporary Ensemble and Chicago Lyric Opera.
The Program: From Venice to Vienna explores the cross-fertilization of 17th-century musical styles between the masters of Venice and Vienna and the subsequent transmission of these ideas by German and Austrian composers throughout Europe. The performance will include favorites from ACRONYM's first five recordings, with works by Pruili, Valentini, Bertali, Capricornus, Pezel, and Rosenmuller. This will be the fourth of five concerts in the 2018/2019 Renaissance & Baroque Concert Series.

We've had some activity in the woods... Our newest neighbor, woodlot owner decided to cut logs off his land but in order to do this, he needed access to the lot. Our land borders his and the road is on our property. Permission was granted for him to have access last year but since that winter was milder with an earlier spring thaw, not all the logs were cut. They returned this winter to finish the job.
In dry summer, it would be advisable to travel this road on a tractor... even then it could be tricky since the land is so boggy. We've done it a few times by tractor and wagon without problem but if the summer is rainy, one would not want to get stuck in the mud. In winter, with the ground frozen, there's little chance of that so it's much safer. Having seen the men go in and out in their trucks we decided to trek out there in our SUV to see the excitement in the woods.
This monster machine picks up the cut and stripped logs and brings them close to the house.
before they get loaded on a logging truck.
We also ventured down our new driveway... this road is south of the main route and leads to the water and to the location of our future cottage. We built the road several years ago so that it would be well "seasoned" before we build. We also transplanted over 300 spruce trees we'd tagged from our own wood lot. This was done with a shovel and a lot of hard work digging up each sapling from the back hill and transplanting in a newly dug hole.
Deer tracks are everywhere... we did spot the mother and her fawn later that afternoon.
It amazes me that this logging truck can come and go in and out of the yard but our moving truck couldn't navigate the curve into the driveway!!! Our contractor did mention that the day before the movers arrived, this logging truck actually ditched the back end of his trailer. He figured he'd be stuck here for quite awhile (it was quitting time!) but the driver of the logging truck used his claw (sorry... I don't know what else to call it!) to pick himself out of the ditch and put the back end back on the road. How clever!!
We've witnessed quite a few of these loads leave the yard and today it's been quite busy! And the last of the monster machines has left the lot. All that remains is for the logging trucks to return to pick up the last logs. We hear rumors that the owner of the lot next door will develop a blueberry field. Wild blueberries are big business in these parts. There's also an apple orchard with many varieties of apples on that lot. We have our own apples that need special attention. Maybe with the chainsaw!!!

I don't know if you could say that I actually made this recipe, because I didn't measure anything and skipped a lot of stuff.
This is pretty good; since I used frozen cauliflower, it was hard to tell how much to use, so I used a pound (the whole bag).
I'm not much of a salad eater, but this was really good! I didn't have radishes or avocado at the time, so I added red chard in replacement. I always liked the crunch that raw corn has.
I didn't like this all that much, too much effort for something this bland. Just tasted like pumpkin and mushrooms, tried to make it better with nutritional yeast, but it was still boring.

Why Coaches and Parents will want to bring their players to otterbasketball.
Hello Coaches and Parents and welcome to OtterBasketball as a former Varsity Coach and teacher I understand how important it is we get our players in the right situations to develop as young men and women. As a parent I realize that we want our children presented with every opportunity possible to accomplish their dream and eventual goal. If this is the case then Otter basketball camps are for you I am not here to tell your children or players how good they are but rather show them how great they could become if they are willing to put the work in.
Having developed over a thousand division I players in the past 10 years OtterBasketball has become the leading force for the player that has a true passion for the game. I have come to realize you can want something for someone more than anything in the world but if they are not willing to put the work in we are just spinning our wheels literally. The parent can and should be a guide but it ultimately has to be the child who is holding him or herself accountable for their development. This is where the word passion definitely comes into play. In order for us (the parents and Otterbasketball) to help our children experience success our children have to hold themselves accountable for their development learning the system and progressing through checkpoint after checkpoint in their development. I truly believe that this is the only way to truly help our children attain their goal and continue to apply these lessons throughout their life. By taking their passion and using it as a learning tool to develop their baskeball skills, leadership skills, work ethic, integrity, and ability to make everyone around them better.
As a former Coach I understand that we are constantly working to develop leaders inside our program that represent us in a positive manner on and off the floor. As a former coach I also remember how hard I had to work and study the game to put my players in a positions to maximize their skill sets. At OtterBasketball we specialize in not only maximizing your players skill set but also helping them to understand that he or she does not always have to be the best player on the floor to get the best out of his or her teammates. We will work hard to get your players to buy into your system so they can do just that helping them to understand how they have to be an extension of you on and off the floor learning the system and being a consistent presence in the off season, in practice, and on the floor. Players are taught the keys to positive communication with authority figure as well as their peers. They re expected to be positive role models for the program and to use basketball as a platform to achieve their goals within the framework of the team.
For coaches and parents to realize these major traits in their sons, daughters, and players it first starts with players understanding what hard work is. To often players think they are doing what is necessary but have no idea what it takes from a standpoint of hard work (physically or mentally). Inside our system whether it will be the camps or the online training you will find that our attention to detail and and our delivery of content is second to none from a intensity and educational point of view. The skill set portion was designed by myself through exercise science principles and extensive video analysis that focuses on getting players to maximize their ability. Players will learn the keys to rerouting movement mechanics defensively and offensively to maximize their development. The system is based on two foundational concepts efficiency of movement and familiarity of movement tracts presented through Otterbasketball's idea of continuity of principle application and reinforced through deliberate practice techniques.
I am sure you may have heard of the notion of deliberate practice but it is rarely used in the basketball world. Most drills are holistic working on several things at once rather than having a specific focus. We have developed many of the most skilled players in the country over this program is designed to give players success against players that are more physically gifted at the elite level. We first will teach players how to eliminate all unnecessaries in their game while demoing and explaining to them how to put themselves in positions that make the game easy. Players will not play any games but will be put in game simulations where they are expected to demonstrate the skills being taught at the camp. Players should first attend a efficiency of movement camp before attending a PGE. Efficiency of movement camps can be brought to your school and are appropriate for most ages of serious players. This alone begins to help players understand how they can play in a way that is not only beneficial to themselves but their teammates as well. Helping them to understand what is expected from a leader on and off the floor. I will guarantee if you have a old school coach mentality and you like hard work you will love what this program can do for your players.
At the Point Guard Elite Basketball Camp Players will be worn down mentally and physically spending 8 to 9 hours a day on the court with intense detailed instruction. Players will also receive a leadership lecture with its foundational premise being service.
Players will understand the sacrifice necessary to perform these tasks on and off the floor as well. Understanding that they may lose a drill here or there but they can never be outworked anywhere. We find to often that players want to work on the floor but struggle to do it because they are just not disciplined enough. Students will understand that in order to be a disciplined athlete they must lead a disciplined life. We want to help Coaches develop the player that you talk about for the next 30 years not just because of his or her skill set but also because they possess all of the intangibles. We want to help parents see their children's dreams become a reality while also helping them take these valuable lessons with them off the court and into the work world. I want to remind you that I am personally at all OtterBasketball events and lead all instruction. Upon completion of the basketball camp players will have a opportunity to take our online courses which we encourage them to share with their temates aiding in their programs overall development.
Our basketball camps are not only for point guards but are only for the serious basketball player or coach that is willing to work harder and smarter than the competition to be the best that they can be while always making practice hard so the game is easy.

Characters of the Mexican Revolution: Leon Trotsky - Mexico, His Refuge and His Grave
Lev Davidovich Bronstein, better known worldwide as Leon Trotsky, died on August 21, 1941, in Mexico City, where he lived as a refugee for the last years of his life, after a long diaspora until the government of Lazaro Cardenas offered him political asylum. His arrival in Mexico caused international controversy among antagonists and admirers. When the news came out, the first to be surprised were the Soviets, led by Joseph Stalin, their fiercest enemy. Who was Trotsky that as soon as his name was mentioned provoked the most inflammatory comments or the noblest displays of support?
Leon Trotsky at his desk. Wikimedia
Leon Trotsky was born in Ukraine, Russia, in 1879. From a very young age, he was a Marxist revolutionary affiliated to organizations linked to the workers' struggle, such as the Nicolaiev Workers League, a participant in congresses, and a representative of the workers. Between 1904 and 1905 he developed the theory of permanent revolution. His ideology and political activism led him on more than one occasion to be a prisoner in Siberia. He actively participated in the October Revolution of 1917, as he had already joined the Bolshevik Party, of which he was a member of the Central Committee and president of the Petrograd Soviet. After the victory of the Bolsheviks, he was assigned the post of Commissioner for Foreign Affairs; he also served as War Commissioner, whose duties were to organize and command the Red Army.
In 1919, the Politburo of the Central Committee of the Russian Bolshevik Party (which in 1925 became the Bolshevik Communist Party of the Union and in 1952 the Communist Party of the Soviet Union) was established as the highest political body, composed of five members: Vladimir Lenin, Leon Trotsky, Lev Kamenev, Joseph Stalin, and Nicholas Krestnky.
But the problems in that structure came in 1924, after Lenin's death and his controversial Testament, which in the additional notes to the Letter to the 13th Congress of the Russian Communist Party, written on December 22, 1922, pointed out.
Comrade Stalin, who became General Secretary, has concentrated unlimited power in his hands, and I'm not sure he always knows how to use it wisely enough. On the other hand, comrade Trotsky, as his struggle against the Central Committee in the problem of the People's Commissariat for the Roads of Communication has already shown, is not only notable for his eminent abilities. Personally, he is perhaps the most capable man in the present CC, but he is also too presumptuous and too passionate about the purely administrative aspects of the work.
The Soviet leadership was taken over by Joseph Stalin, who immediately made a spectacular purge that resulted in Trotsky's dismissal and expulsion from the leadership of the Party and the Third Communist International (Komintern).
The definitive break between Trotsky-Stalin occurred in 1927; it was not only a personal matter, but a struggle for power, and from then on the harassment against the former did not cease; he raised his voice to oppose Stalin; no one else in the whole immense Soviet territory dared to do so, only Trotsky. His audacity became the cause of the hostile and incessant persecution on any ground he stepped on; everywhere he went there were informants, agents, harassers.
But how did Mexico get involved in this international communist conflict, with the Soviet Union and Mexico being such distant countries? As Marx wrote, "the ghost of communism haunts the world," and as in countless other countries, in Mexico, the Mexican Communist Party (PCM) had been founded in 1919 and immediately joined the Third International, through its General Secretary José Allen. This adherence also meant strict adherence to Russian Bolshevik-Communist policies, which in the future would translate into Stalin's obsession with exterminating all dissidents "enemies of the people".
Expelled from his party and his country, the former Russian leader went into exile in Turkey in 1929; he then went to France and then to Norway, but in Moscow and elsewhere around the world, the thought of Trotsky, Stalin's great antagonist, was still present, and it then became an ideological current as well: Trotskyism.
When he was living in Norway, Soviet pressure was felt against the government of that country, which, in seeking to establish trade agreements in August 1936, made the signing of the agreement conditional on two specific actions against Trotsky and his wife: house arrest and a ban on any kind of communication with the world. They had no choice but to leave.
The Trotskyists from various countries sought asylum for their ideological leader, but the only forceful answer they could find was ''no''! Only one government dared to open the doors to Stalinism's number one enemy, President Lazaro Cardenas. In November 1936, efforts began to seek an entry permit for the former revolutionary, who was 57 years old at the time. The main promoter was the painter Diego Rivera, who received a telegram asking if Mexico would accept Trotsky, and the same artist, together with Octavio Fernández, both members of the Internationalist Communist League - the Mexican Trotskyist group - was commissioned to make the request to the president of the Republic. Fortunately for them, they had the mediation of General Francisco J. Múgica, Secretary of Communications and Public Works, and a man close to the president, so he had the opportunity to make the case for political asylum known to him.
General Cárdenas received the commissioners and the response to their request was immediate: Yes, "Mr. Trotsky can come to Mexico. The government I represent will grant him asylum as a political refugee". When the presidential decision was announced, there were reactions within the presidential cabinet itself, in right-wing organizations, in the PCM, in the unions, in various sectors of society... and in the world. The issue made the front pages of the press announcing that the expelled Stalinist would come to live in Mexico. Some applauded the decision and others repudiated it. But no matter how much the subject was discussed in the newspapers, at political meetings or in public places, the order was given: General Cárdenas gave instructions to the reluctant Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Eduardo Hay, to process the formal request for asylum.
When Cárdenas gave his approval, he made it clear that this was only an act of humanity in the face of the refusal of the European countries which, despite the danger to Trotsky's life, prevented him from living in their territory. And responding to the alarming national and international reactions that warned of the risk, the disorders and the alterations that could arise, the ruler replied that he found no reason to fear, since if the asylee dedicated himself exclusively "to his intellectual work", there would be nothing to worry about. The only thing demanded was that the Mexican Trotskyists should refrain from "organizing demonstrations that could provoke clashes with elements hostile to Mr. Trotsky". The news spread like wildfire. The Mexican president's name rang out all over the world.
And Trotsky received a warning that he was welcome in Mexico, a country he knew little, if anything, about. He took advantage of the long trip aboard a Norwegian ship to read as much as he could about the distant country to which he owed his life. The revolutionary and his wife, Natalia, arrived in Tampico on January 9th, 1937; from there they moved to Mexico City, to be lodged in the house of Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo, located in Coyoacán.
The "blue house", the home of the two famous Mexican painters, was the place where Trotsky began to get to know Mexico, its food, its history, its customs; there he learned to understand the politics of the country that was receiving him and from there he observed and reflected on what was happening in his new place of residence; he also dedicated his days of exile to writing about his country, its revolution and other themes of a global nature, such as Nazism and Fascism, which had Europe in check.
He lived in Frida and Diego's house for two years, until the break-up between the revolutionary and the artist occurred. Trotsky and his wife moved just a few blocks away, to Vienna Street, in the same neighborhood of Coyoacán. But nothing would save the communist ideologist from the plans the enemies had for him, since, although far from the USSR, the idea of eliminating him was still in force, that is, there was an order from Joseph Stalin himself to assassinate the man he called a traitor. To carry out these plans, the leader of the Soviet government had many people willing to cooperate, and nothing would succeed in saving Lev Davidovich's life, not even the permanent surveillance that existed in that house.
A first attack occurred on May 24, 1940, when under the cover of darkness, a group of men commanded by the painter David Alfaro Siqueiros unloaded their weapons in the house in Vienna. Incredibly, in spite of the hundreds of bullets fired, the Trotsky couple saved their lives. But the house had already been damaged and the peace that the couple had found in that quiet and rural Coyoacán, whose lands were watered by the Churubusco River, which ran exactly beside the shot house.
They failed, but did not give up their plans to execute Moscow's orders. Another strategy was devised. In the house inhabited by the two emigrants, besides the couple, there were guards, workers, visitors, and a secretary, Silvia Ageloff. This was the thinnest thread that the enemies found to carry out Stalin's orders. A young man began to court her; they became sweethearts, he entered the house... he gained her confidence; under the pretext of giving the revolutionary a text to read, he managed to get close to him and, without wasting time, he delivered a terrible blow to his head; the weapon was an ice axe, or pick-axe for mountaineering, which he plunged into his skull.
Thirteen years had passed since the break with Stalin, but finally, he could sing victory; his enemy, his antipode had died. The Catalan communist Ramon Mercader had achieved the longed-for desire to wipe Leon Trotsky off the face of the earth. The wound was serious, but he did not die immediately; he was taken to a hospital and treated, but nothing could be done. Finally, after so much persecution, harassment, and attacks by the Soviet regime, Trotsky died on August 21, 1940, in Mexico City.
He is still in Mexico. The ashes of the revolutionary, writer, and ideologist Leon Trotsky remain in the house in Coyoacán, where he lived his last days and where he was found dead.

This is frustrating as iframe is the most common use-case and salesforce should allow iframe to third-party sites if the customer has to invoke their own websites in salesforce.

The Complete Guide to Combat Mission
By Leon Georgiou 08 Sep 2020 11
The Combat Mission (CM) series stretches back some twenty years. On the surface it's an unlikely success story. A deep tactical battlefield simulator with average graphics, a hefty price tag, convoluted patching system and availability through a niche storefront. And yet, like all great games, it is carried by its gameplay.
For all its faults, and there are a few, it is still one of the deepest tactical battlefield simulations available. Consequently, CM has seen eleven separate releases, multiple expansions, and has kept its fans coming back to the battlefield for some two decades.
When Slitherine/Matrix announced they would be bringing Combat Mission: Shock Force 2 (CMSF2), onto Steam, it seemed like the perfect time to go back and take a look at the long running series. After all, there's bound to be a few fresh faces discovering CM for the first time. If you are on the fence about trying out a CM game, hopefully this guide can help you. Older players should find the guide useful in identifying what upgrades are available and what paid upgrades are needed to play specific DLC (more on that below).
Combat Mission Series
There are eleven games in the CM series, many of which have additional DLC:
Combat Mission: Beyond Overlord (CMBO)
Combat Mission II: Barbarossa to Berlin (CMBB)
Combat Mission III: Afrika Korps (CMAK)
Combat Mission: Shock Force (CMSF)
Combat Mission: Afghanistan (CMA)
Combat Mission: Battle for Normandy (CMBFN)
Combat Mission: Fortress Italy (CMFI)
Combat Mission: Red Thunder (CMRT)
Combat Mission: Black Sea (CMBS)
Combat Mission: Final Blitzkrieg (CMFB)
Combat Mission: Shock Force 2 (CMSF2)
It is also important to note that there are two proprietary engines upon which CM games have been built (CMx1 and CMx2). CMSF, and all subsequent games, use CMx2. This is important because games built on the CMx2 engine are essentially the same game set in different eras or theatres of war. As new games were released and new features added to the CMx2 engine, Battlefront opted to retroactively upgrade the older CM games (bringing them in line with the latest engine standards), via paid upgrades. Consequently…
Patches are free but engine upgrades cost money
Like most developers, Battlefront release patches with balance adjustments and bug fixes—these can be downloaded for free (sort of). Unlike most developers, Battlefront retroactively upgrades older games in the CM series. Rather than abandon the old titles, or re-release them, Battlefront offers paid upgrades which bring the older games in-line with the latest engine enhancements.
As of writing the latest engine upgrade is engine 4.0. Upgrade costs vary depending on the engine version you upgrade from (CMBFN and CMFI need you to upgrade to engine 3.0 and then 4.0). As a rule of thumb, upgrades cost between $10-$15 USD. There are currently five titles that can be upgraded. There is also an option to purchase the upgrade for all five titles (as a $25 USD bundle). Sounds confusing? It is. But this page will help.
Taken together, patches and engine upgrades blur the line between free and paid updates. Battlefront does offer free bug fixes and balance changes but once an engine upgrade occurs, support for the old version stops. If you have engine 3.0 for CMBN and you wanted to install the latest patch for the game (4.03), you would first need to purchase engine upgrade 4.0, then download the free 4.03 patch. Consequently, if a bug is fixed in a patch that falls under a newer engine, you essentially have to pay for a bug fix.
To make matters even more convoluted nearly all the DLC/expansion modules have different prerequisites (these have all been listed below). Some DLC requires you to also purchase the engine upgrades in order to function. Others require that you own other DLC modules. Consequently, not only are things confusing but things now cost more than you may have initially thought.
In theory, paying for a significant engine upgrade, instead of re-releasing an older title, is not a bad idea. However, the patch notes for the 4.0 upgrade look anaemic. To be fair, there may be a lot of 'under the hood' changes, but they are not listed in the patch notes. Either way, Battlefront's patching policy ruffles a lot of feathers (including some of us here at Wargamer) and it's something to be aware of when buying into the series.
Note: At the time of writing, this patching policy is not an issue for new players. If you purchase any CM game now, you will receive the latest version and therefore are not required to pay for the previous engine upgrades. However, should there be further development of the CMx2 game engine, users will almost certainly be required to pay an upgrade fee—this is a separate purchase for each of the games you own.
Buy Combat Mission for the gameplay not the graphics
Graphics in Combat Mission are not going to win any awards, they are adequate at best—with the original three games feeling extremely dated. The models themselves look reasonably detailed, especially vehicles. However, unit animations are clunky throughout. Here's the thing though: the gameplay is so solid that the graphics fade into the background. The tactical engagements are so intense that not even the clumsy soldier animations can break the game's immersion. What the game aims to do it does well.
Try the WEGO mechanics before utilising the real-time option
The original trilogy of CM games used a turn-based hybrid system, dubbed WEGO. Each turn, orders were issued to units by both players. Those orders were then executed simultaneously during a sixty second real-time window, at the end of each turn. With the release of CMSF, and the upgraded CMx2 engine, Battlefront added the option of playing CM as a pausable real-time experience. Personally, I enjoy both options. However, this game was designed to be played using the WEGO system. That's because, WEGO partially simulates the command and control challenges faced by commanders.
Under the WEGO system you are forced to cede control of your units to virtual commanders (dubbed TacAI), as they attempt to carry out your orders. You cannot react to the battlefield situation in real-time, depriving players of their 'gods-eye' view of the battlefield. It forces the player to make decisions based on incomplete information as you cannot instantly react to your opponent's movements. In this way, WEGO merges the tactical depth and planning of turn-based gameplay with the intensity of real-time systems. Whilst it might not be for everyone, it does add an extra layer of realism to the overall experience and is worth trying out.
Don't be put off by early failures and the steep learning curve
Combat Mission is a difficult series to master and you are going to fail… a lot. What works in other games is unlikely to work here. That's because CM positions itself as a tactical simulation of the battlefield. There's an emphasis on using basic military principles, such as laying down suppressive fire when assaulting positions.
Understanding the game's mechanical nuances is another problem to overcome. For example, there are multiple types of movement commands that can be given to units: move, quick, fast, slow, hunt, assault, blast and reverse. Each of these does something slightly different. You can think of this as something similar to what the Close Combat series does.
A good way to start unpacking the engine is to check out the Wargamer's Essential Tactics Guide for CMSF2. The YouTube series, Combat Mission: Tactics, Techniques, and Proceduresis another good place to start. And whilst the videos in this YouTube series use Battle for Normandy, most of the tips and tactics are applicable to all CM games.
Combat Mission Mods
Battlefront has always had a very active modding community, although you're not going to find complete overhauls or new theatres of operations. But you will find new sound effects, scenarios and campaigns to extend gameplay. In terms of graphics, you will find re-skinned infantry, vehicles, tanks, foliage and trees. Shaders can also be manipulated to increase the graphical fidelity of the game. The results can be pretty significant. Check out YouTuber SmartWargames, to see just how game changing these mods can be—along with instructions on the shader settings he uses.
Finding mods for the original trilogy of CM games can be a little difficult. Luckily, GreenAsJade has pretty much everything you could want with over 5200 mods available on the one website. AlternateWars has a few thousand scenarios that can be downloaded in three handy downloads (one for each game).
Similarly, The CM Mod Warehouse has mods for all of the CM games built on the CMx2 engine and The Scenario Depot has scenarios covered.
Combat Mission Games - Which one to get?
As mentioned above games in the CMx2 engine are nearly identical in terms of features. The divergence in gameplay comes down to the differences in units, terrain and weapons. Ultimately, your choice of which game to buy should be guided by the period and theatre you are most interested in.
Combat Mission: Beyond Overlord
The original game that kicked off the series, CMBO was released in 2000. It recreates battles throughout north-western Europe—from the D-Day invasion through to the end of the war. Critically, the game was well received and broke the mould of the turn-based-hex wargames that preceded it. The chit or miniature representations on grid-based battlefields, that dominated the genre, were replaced with 3D graphics and a hybrid turn-based/real-time (WEGO) system—used to propel the action.
Graphically, this game has not aged well and with newer versions based within the same theatre, there really is no reason to pick this one up. But if you really wanted to, GOG has a digital version available.
Combat Mission II: Barbarossa to Berlin
The second instalment in the CM series and the title that started my love affair. Barbarossa to Berlin was released in 2002, again to positive reviews (89 on Metacritic). The action was moved to the Eastern Front and covered theatre operations from 1941-1945. Minor nations were also represented with Italian, Hungarian, Romanian and Finnish forces filling out the OOB.
Graphically the game received a hefty upgrade, sound was improved, and a host of new features added. Given the theatre of operations, armour also received a lot of work.
By the time you add mods and player-made scenarios, it offered wargamers huge amounts of gameplay in one deep and engaging package—that looked pretty good for its time. Also available via GOG.
Combat Mission III: Afrika Korps
The final game developed on the CMx1 engine. CMAK was released in 2004 and moved the action to the Mediterranean. Battles take place across Crete, Italy and North Africa from 1940-1945. Essentially the same game as CMBB, critics were a little disappointed that the weaknesses of the previous game had not received any attention. This would be a common gripe with players across the entire CM series.
At $5 USD a piece, picking up CMBB or CMAK is a cheap way of seeing whether you like the style of gameplay on offer by the series. Later titles add more features, increase graphical fidelity and add a playable real-time option to the landscape, but the underlying gameplay loop remains the same. Essentially, if you don't like these games the CMx2 engine is not going to change your mind. As mentioned above the CMx2 game engine represents an evolution in gameplay rather than a revolution. Available from GOG.
Combat Mission: Shock Force (Unavailable)
CMSF changed things up when it was released in 2007. It utilised a new game engine (CMx2), moved combat from World War II to the modern era and made some graphical upgrades. It also modelled infantry on a 1:1 scale whereas CMx1 based games modelled infantry on a 1:3 ratio. Based on a hypothetical US invasion of Syria, CMSF is generally praised for its new setting. However, that's where the praise tended to end. The AI was weak, there were path-finding issues, balance issues and bugs—which led to multiple patches.
Three 'modules' (Battlefront's version of DLC), were released, adding British, NATO and Marine forces. A direct sequel was released in 2018 with significant improvements. Consequently, the original is currently unavailable for purchase.
Note: Owners of CMSF get a heavy discount if they upgrade to CMSF2.
Combat Mission: Afghanistan
CMA is something of an anomaly. It was developed under license by Russian developer Snowball. It covers the Soviet-Afghan War, focusing on two distinct periods: 1980-1982 and 1985-1987. There are two campaigns and fifteen scenarios. Outside of the unique era and setting there really isn't much in the way of new features. Whereas Battlefront has continued to upgrade CMx2 based games over the years, all active development of CMA has ceased—there are no engine upgrades available. Available directly from Battlefront.
Combat Mission: Battle for Normandy
CMBFN returns to the series' roots. Released in 2011, it takes players back to the bocage of north-western France: from the Allied D-Day landings in June through to Operation Cobra in August. It's the usual fare of scenarios and campaigns. The Wargamer review did note a beefed up AI, though other reviewers seem to disagree—noting that the various issues that plagued CMSF were still present in CMBFN. Available from Battlefront and has the following expansions:
The Commonwealth Forces DLC adds British, Canadian and Polish forces for the Allies. The Waffen SS are added to the Axis OOB. The new forces require new tactics and playstyles, highlighting one of the strengths of the CMx2 engine and the series as a whole. Two new campaigns and around twenty scenarios round out the package.
The Market Garden DLC is fairly self-explanatory. Two campaigns, fourteen scenarios and a huge number of new units to better represent the forces deployed during the campaign.
Note: Market Garden requires game engine 2.0 or above to function.
The Vehicle Pack DLC is a smaller module bringing some odd vehicle configurations to the game.
Note: For full functionality, the Vehicle Pack requires both the Commonwealth Forces and Market Garden DLC. Game engine 3.0 or above is also required to function.
Finally, Battle Pack 1 covers combat between the Normandy campaign and Operation Market Garden.
Note: For full functionality, Battle Pack 1 requires the Commonwealth Forces, Market Garden and Vehicle Pack DLC. Game engine 3.0 or above is also required to function.
Combat Mission: Fortress Italy
CMFI was released in 2012. Based on the CMx2 engine it received further development in what would be the first of the paid engine upgrades—under the 2.0 moniker. The updated engine added bump mapping, new shaders, improved framerates, and a pausable real-time TCP/IP mode—along with other small upgrades. These features could all be added to CMBFN for a nominal fee. As for CMFI, the base game depicted Operation Husky—covered through four campaigns and seventeen scenarios. Forces were limited to American, German and Italian formations. Expansions would continue the Italian campaigns all the way up the boot of Italy (Wargamer review here). Available from Battlefront with the following expansions:
The Gustav Line DLC added Commonwealth forces (United Kingdom, Canada, Poland, and New Zealand), to the base game's Sicily campaign. It also added units, across all factions, to cover battles such as Salerno, Anzio and Monte Cassino—ending with the capture of Rome in June 1944. Four more campaigns, eighteen scenarios and various additional maps to use in the Quick Battle mode, round out the addon.
Note: The Gustav Line requires game engine 3.0 or above to function.
Rome to Victory continued the march from Rome into the Alps. Two more campaigns and eight scenarios were added, along with Indian, Brazilian, South African and Free French forces to pad out the Allied OOB. The Axis received some Waffen SS and Luftwaffe formations.
Note: Rome to Victory requires game engine 4.0 and patch v2.10 to function. The Gustav Line Module is also recommended for full functionality.
Combat Mission: Red Thunder
CMRT was released in 2014. The game engine received another paid upgrade, taking it to version 3.0. TCP/IP connections could now play out battles using the WEGO system. Hit decals were added to vehicles, ground to air combat was added, load times improved, and there were some graphical upgrades—in the form of new shaders.
The game itself represents combat on the Eastern Front from the start of Operation Bagration in June '44 to the fall of Berlin in 1945—the Wargamer review can be found here. I originally thought it unlikely (at this point in the game's life-cycle), that it would receive an expansion. However, Fire and Rubble, which has been in development for a very long time, seems to still be in development—though no release date has been set as at time of writing. You can follow the expansion's progress here. Available from Battlefront.
Combat Mission: Black Sea
Another 2014 release, CMBS returned to the modern day with a fictional conflict set in 2017. Somewhat of a coincidence, the game portrays a conflict between NATO and Russian Federation forces over Ukraine (the story for CMBS was developed in 2009 before the very real conflict that took place in Ukraine in 2014). New features such as electronic warfare, UAVs and night vision, were added to better represent modern warfare. But as the Wargamer review shows, it doesn't stray far from the series' successful formula. Available from Battlefront.
Battle Pack 1 for CMBS adds two new campaigns, six scenarios and some new maps that can be used in the Quick Battle game mode. Note: Battle Pack 1 requires game engine 4.0 to function.
Combat Mission: Final Blitzkrieg
CMFB was the last game to use the 3.0 version of the CMx2 engine. It focuses on the American sector of the Battle of the Bulge from October '44 through January 1945 (Wargamer review here). Like CMRT, Battlefront implied that there would be some expansions but that has not panned out. Available from Battlefront.
Combat Mission: Shock Force 2
The latest CM game, Shock Force 2 was released in December 2019. Once again the series returned to modern warfare, modelling a hypothetical war between a Western coalition and Syrian forces. CMSF2 serves as an upgrade to the original CMSF—bringing the original title into game engine 4.0. The original three expansions were also remade. Available from Battlefront and Steam.
Marines adds formations from the US Marine Corps along with Syrian Airborne forces which are armed with Russian equipment. A new hypothetical campaign is added—a Marine led invasion from the Mediterranean into the Syrian interior. Sixteen scenarios round out the offerings.
British Forces includes a range of heavy and light forces from… Britain. The US also gets some more weapons and equipment to round out their forces.
NATO Countries adds Germany, Canada and the Netherlands to the game. Each of the combatants utilise different tactics, in line with the significantly different weapons and equipment available to each countries' forces.
Note: People who previously bought CMSF2 through Battlefront, can claim a free Steam key—we explain the process in detail here.
And there you have it - a complete guide to the Combat Mission series. Love it or hate it, it's an important touchstone of digital wargames and we hope the company's move to Steam opens up some new options for them and their games.

Q: local storage cookies fall back I have created a local storage function to save and then load the shopping cart from the cookies but when I try to access this page on another machine, it gives me error. how do I add a fall back to these functions so that if the code is viewed on a server or another machine locally it will work on there too and store new cookies basically.
ShoppingBasket.saveCart = function() {
    localStorage.setItem("shoppingCartCookie", JSON.stringify(this.cart));
};

// function to load cart
ShoppingBasket.loadCart = function() {
    this.cart = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("shoppingCartCookie"));
};

This is the code that causes the problem...
ShoppingBasket.addItemToCart = function(name, price, count) {
    for (var i in this.cart) {
        if (this.cart[i].name === name) {
            this.cart[i].count += count;
            this.saveCart();
            return;
        }
    }
    var item = new this.Item(name, price, count);
    this.cart.push(item);
    this.saveCart();
};

It causes the error message, Cannot read property 'push' of null

A: probebly your cart is null in localstorage
check if cart is null then sett to new array
ShoppingBasket.loadCart = function() {
    this.cart = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("shoppingCartCookie")) || [];
};

A: You first need to check that the key is existing in local storage -
if ("shoppingCartCookie" in localStorage) {
//Your logic
}else{
//Your logic to create cookie
}

Local storage is machine specific, so for each macjine you first need to store  the shoppingCartCookie, then only you will be able to access that.
Hope this will help you.

← How does a school system improve?


What is a free school or a democratic school?
What is unschooling? Do any of these terms describe The Real School?
Unschooling is fundamentally about process not about content. It is about learning through self discovery, about being open and confident, about thinking critically and independently, and about making your own choices and taking responsibility for those choices. The process requires community; it is about connection, not isolation. Many unschoolers are also home-schoolers, but the unschooling process is never insular. Unschooling is also referred to as community based learning, natural learning and self-directed learning.
A democratic school functions as a participatory democracy with equal participation from both students and staff. These learning environments invite students to participate in every facet of school operations, including learning, teaching, and leadership. Students in these schools create their own learning path.
A free school is a decentralized network in which skills, information, and knowledge are shared without hierarchy or a formal institutional framework. The open structure of a free school is intended to encourage self-reliance, critical consciousness, and personal development. Here too, students are self-directed.
None of these philosophies is new. For decades, all have been effectively utilized, to varying degrees, by schools like Summerhill, Albany Free School and The Sudbury Valley School. Likewise, The Real School employs pieces of each of these philosophies. Our decision making process is one of consensus, not democracy, but both approaches intend to empower young people. We are committed to a learning process that is student centered and non-coercive. And we are a cooperative because we value the role of the larger community in education.

Adverts in dreams can have many meanings - just like the word advert. But always remember the negative and positive sides of a symbols. An advert dream may occur when you are trying to promote your own ideas or job skills. Yet an advert dream may at the opposite - that you need or wish to promote yourself much more. All the advert means is that your mind is focusing on the theme of promoting yourself.
ADVERTS IN DREAMS:Understanding dreams is not so difficult. In practice dream symbols translate into certain words within the English language. For instance an "advertising billboard" dream may simply translate into an everyday word such as "boasting". In that way the advert was a symbol for him boasting (adverts make exaggerated claims). The dream maybe about his need to rely less on his image and have greater substance as a person.
In practice adverts have several symbolic meaning. Here is the full list. Your advert dream will probably capture one of these specific feelings.
Its a fallacy that dreams capture unconscious thoughts - dreams represent thoughts that we are all too aware of. A typical dream would translate into the types of thoughts that we might write down in a diary or tell a best friend. Dreams represent your key thoughts which pinpoint the problems right now. Try to write down some quotes which capture your feelings right now and try to include the words and phrases above. For instance a dreamer who was looking for a job had a billboard dream. He knew he needed to advertise his own skills more - he had to be more forceful and show himself in the best light. His advertising billboard dream simply translated into his need to stand out from the rest. Dreams are written in the strange language of symbolism but their meanings are often very straightforward. This dreamer did not need to hear someone translate this dream or him. Its message had already been translated to his conscious mind - he did not need some psychoanalyst to decipher its meaning for him. Indeed what would be the point of an unconscious mind if its meaning had to be translated by a psychoanalyst.
Dreams can represent very sophisticated thoughts. For instance one dream in our database featured a Harry Potter advert. In real life the dreamer had just found out a friend who she knew from back home in Australia was soon to be in the UK. She was excited at this and was wanting to meet up with her. In this case the advert shows the excitement of the dreamer. We often associate adverts with some exciting up coming event - in this case the advert caught this exact feeling - "I am excited that she will soon be here". When you start to combine symbolic meanings it shows the true accuracy of dream symbolism. Harry Potter can symbolise moments of make believe fantasy. In this case the dreamer had an almost magical feeling - it captures this type of feeling - "I cannot believe it! My friend who lives so far away will soon be here and I can see here". You will find that dreams capture exact thought processes and linking together two dream symbols can reveal a dreams true meaning. In this case the Harry Potter and Advert symbols join together to capture this exact thought - "I am so excited at her visit. I cannot believe it - its almost make believe that a friend who lives so far away will be soon coming to live so close to me".


When there is a natural extreme weather condition, like a snowstorm or flooding, often businesses come to a standstill. In 2017 alone, the US was impacted by 16 separate billion-dollar disaster events, says the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). All of that added up and crossed $300 billion in damages in 2017, a new annual record.
Small businesses in particular find this challenging – a whopping 90% of them end up failing if they are unable to get back on their feet within five days of a disaster. Even if businesses do manage to resume operations quickly, their reputation is at stake. According to a study by CA Technologies, half of the small businesses involved in the study said that unplanned outages affected their reputation.
Despite the compelling statistics, many businesses either have an insufficient DR plan in place or they don't have one at all, thinking "it won't happen to me." But it's during those good periods, when business is ticking along as usual, that a company should be doing their DR planning.
Think about the day that Hurricane Florence made landfall in North Carolina last year, and over 890,000 customers had to go without electricity. And last November, snow and ice storm across Eastern US led to over 400,000 customers to be without power. The storm led to school closures and major travel disruptions including traffic buildups and accidents.
Can your business afford the losses that such disasters bring?
Can your business afford to go without power for a few hours, or a couple of days, maybe a week?
If your business does lose revenue (and profitability) because of such disasters, how long will it take for you to recover from those losses? 52% of SMBs say it would take at least three months to recover from a disaster.
*Source: Nationwide Survey of 500 small business owners.
Does one have a choice, many business owners ask? What if you live in a geographic region that is not prone to winter storms or other adverse weather conditions? Even if your business is physically located in a geographic area that is typically unaffected by natural disasters, your supply-chain partners whom you depend on most may be affected. Are you prepared for that?
Do you have an IT application that serves as the backbone for the revenue generating activities? If yes, how long can you afford it to be down? A couple of hours? A couple of days?
What if you lost the data you have on your servers and backup systems in your business premises? Would you be able to recover? How long would it take?
Do you have a supplier who is based in a location that often sees snow storms or is susceptible to fires or floods? What if they are unable to serve you?
Given the high stakes, business owners can no longer operate under the illusion that they are immune to disasters like fires, snow and ice storms, tornadoes, hurricanes and floods. It is best to prepare for disasters, whether natural or man-made. Having a good disaster recovery plan, systems and processes in place ensure business continuity, the value of which far, far exceeds the cost you incur in creating and maintaining a sufficient DR plan. The peace of mind knowing that revenues won't come to a standstill, and your reputation will remain unharmed, is invaluable.

The intense yellow sun was high in the sky. The fields were hot and the earth burned the feet of the men running in front of him – they wore no shoes and no one knew why.
There were fifteen of them, running since dawn. Joshua and his son had risen just after daybreak. They had tidied away the sheets from the sofa, opened a can of beans, shared the fork, been to the bathroom. He had stood outside, facing the window of their bedroom-kitchen-bathroom-toilet. A radio was playing loudly somewhere in the building.
Joshua was swaying slowly backwards and forwards. He was turning the pages of a newspaper. On the other side of the glass was Gordon, who was washing the bean can. Gordon was his son.
"Found something? Any work for us?" he asked his father.
Joshua continued swaying, and whistling. The day was hot and humid, already large drops of sweat were running down his back.
Joshua shut the paper with a great clicking of his tongue.
Gordon picked up the rifle and the last two cartridges they had left, closed the door, and together they set out along the county road. Ahead of them, there were other men, dressed in patched pants and stained shirts. Joshua put his hand on his son's shoulder.
Joshua stroked the barrel of his rifle.
"Dead or alive," as they always say.
They walked as far as the wood, then took a long dirt road, through the middle of the wheat fields. Rabbits scattered in front of them.
They walked for another hour, the day was set solid, nothing was moving, neither the earth, nor the sun, nor the trees.
When the heat seemed too strong to him, Joshua began to speak. He explained that this rifle was a gift from his father, well, an involuntary gift, an inheritance. It was the only thing he owned of value and this rifle might prove its worth to them. "A weapon, son, is all you need here, it's a tool for work, for self-defense, for persuasion. You'll see, it will serve us very well yet", he said. The sweat ran down his eyelids but he made no move to wipe them. He was still standing. He was walking. With his son.
Far off they saw people running through the wheat fields. They could hear them shouting. Joshua slapped his son's shoulder and they began to run. Faster. A band of pain appeared inside Joshua's skull, it grew rapidly, just over his eyebrows, it took up a lot of room, he tried to concentrate on those wheat fields, over there, on the reward after he fired, on the arguments he would have to present to prove it was really his shot, he had everything ready in his head: he used caliber .243 Winchester cartridges. But soon there was nothing but the huge band of pain, bigger and heavier than his own head. Each step made the weight of his body more awkward. Then he looked at Gordon and told him they would do it, together. The sun was getting to him and the metallic heat was restricting his every gesture. His knees were growing weak, he didn't know how he could go on.
Gordon set off, he quickly reached the path all the men had taken, and forked left. The fields were hot and the earth burned the feet of the men running in front of him – they wore no shoes and no one knew why.
When he had overtaken them all, he thought of his father and of the man he was pursuing. He did not know him but remembered the description on the radio: the fugitive was black and stocky. Ahead of him, there was only one man left, he looked rather squat but it was impossible to tell if he was black. It had to be him, the man who was going round a hillock, the one who could no longer be seen. The men behind were yelling. It couldn't be anyone else. Then a shot rang out across the plain and Gordon collapsed. Joshua lowered his rifle, he was panting, sweat was running down between his eyes, he wiped it with his cuff and his vision misted over again. The men had stopped running, they had formed a group around the body. Joshua went up to them and all the tears in his body exploded. It was his son. It was Gordon. His son.
The men left and Joshua crouched down over the body. Then he stood up, he lit a fire. And another shot rang out.
In the evening, Joshua presented himself at the sheriff's office, his back bent double. Behind him he was dragging a body. The sheriff leant over the body: the black face had been pierced right through by a missile and his finger ends were burned. He was unrecognizable.

A P Bhimji Ltd v Michael Opkwo (MISC APPLICATION NO. 423 OF 2011) [2012] UGHC 64 (13 April 2012);
MISC APPLICATION NO. 423 OF 2011
A P BHIMJI LIMITED :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: APPLICANT
MICHAEL OPKWO :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: RESPONDENT
BEFORE: HON JUSTICE ELDAD MWANGUSYA
A suit between A. P Bhimji Ltd, now applicant in this application and Michael Opkwo, now respondent in this application was filed on April 13, 2006. The hearing of the case did not start until 12th May 2008 when the plaintiff testified in court. The plaintiff's testimony was not completed because he was not cross examined. The matter was then adjourned to the 7th July, 2008 at 9.00am for further hearing. There is nothing on the court record as to what transpired on 7th July 2008. The case was next cause listed for hearing on 15th April 2011 when only Mr. Ali Kankaka holding a brief for Mr. Andrew Kibaya counsel for the plaintiff appeared in court. He informed court that his instructions were to seek for a hearing date. He also informed court that the plaintiff's counsel undertook to effect service of the hearing notice on the defendant. Hearing of the suit was fixed for 20.09.2011 at 9.00 am.
The case was called at 9.20 am and neither the counsel nor the parties were in court. There was no evidence that the plaintiff's counsel had taken out any hearing notice to be served on the defendant's counsel as per the undertaking given on the 15th April 2011. Under Order 9 rule 17 Court could have proceeded to dismiss the suit. Instead court evoked the provision of Order 17 rule 4 which is set out hereunder:-
"Court may proceed notwithstanding either party fails to produce evidence.
Where any party to a suit to whom time has been granted fails to produce his or her evidence, or to cause the attendance of his or her witnesses, or to perform any other act necessary to the further progress of the suit for which time has been allowed, the court may, notwithstanding that default, proceed to decide the suit immediately"
The decision of the court was to dismiss the suit. The application before court is to set aside the order dismissing the suit and a direction that it be reinstated for its hearing and determination on merits.
The application was by a Notice of Motion made under Section 98 of the Civil Procedure Act (Cap 71) and Article 126(2)(e) of the constitution.
The application is supported by the affidavit of ANDREW KIBAYA and based on the following grounds:-
That the applicant sued the respondent vide Civil Suit No. 217 of 2006.
That the suit had proceeded and the plaintiffs had led evidence by calling one of his witnesses, Mr. Sameer Bhimji.
That the matter was heard by Justice Arach, who was first transferred to the Commercial Court and later to Court of Appeal and the matter was unheard for over two years.
That the suit was called for mention on 15th April 2011 and adjourned to 20th September, 2011.
That counsel for the applicant who had personal conduct of the matter, Mr. Andrew Kibaya was attending to his wedding which was on the 16th September 2011 and was out of office on the 20th September, 2011 and as such there was no attendance.
That the dismissal of the suit did not conclusively determine the rights of the parties regarding the matter in controversy.
That it would be just and fair that the order dismissing the suit be set aside and the case proceeds on its merits.
I wish to comment on two grounds before determining the merits of the application. The first is ground 3 which refers to the transfer of Hon. Justice Arach to the Commercial Court and the Court of Appeal. I do not understand the relevance of this ground because the concern of this court was the period between the 15th April 2011 and the 20th September 2011 when the plaintiff's counsel had undertaken to serve the defendant with a hearing notice and he did not. On 20.09.2011 the plaintiff was required to adduce evidence or cause the attendance of his or her witness and he did not. It was on that basis that the suit was dismissed. It had nothing to do with the delay caused by other factors.
The other ground is ground 5 where it is stated that counsel who had personal conduct of the matter was involved in his wedding. This same counsel was not present on 15th April 2011 because he was reportedly indisposed. Mr. Ali Kankaka held a brief for him and court proceeded on the basis of the information given by Mr. Ali Kankaka. Counsel should have done the same on 20.09.2011 but even then there was no evidence that the defendant had been notified of this date. There was nobody to inform court as to the position of the case and the way forward. Hence the decision of the court to dismiss the suit under Order 17 Rule 4 which brings me to what I consider to be the main issue in this application and that is whether the suit dismissed under this Rule can be reinstated or the decision finally disposes of the matter.
In my view this court has to draw a distinction between a dismissal made under Order 9 rule 17 and a dismissal made under Order 17 rule 4. Order 17 rule 4 has already been set down. Order 9 rule 17 provides that were neither party appears when the suit is called for hearing, this court may make an order that the suit be dismissed. Order 9 rule 18 provides as follows:-
"Plaintiff may bring fresh suit or court may restore suit to file. Where a suit is dismissed under rules 16 or 17 of this order, the plaintiff may, subject to the law of limitation, bring a fresh suit or he or she may apply for an order to set the dismissal aside; and if he or she satisfies the court that there was sufficient cause for his or her not paying the court fee charges if any, required within the time fixed before the issue of the summons or for his or non appearance, as the case may be, the court shall make an order setting aside the dismissal and shall appoint a day for proceeding with the suit. (underlining provided).
There is no similar provision for reinstatement of a suit dismissed under Order 17 Rule 4. This court was provided with a Ruling of the Hon. Justice Yorokamu Bamwine for the proposition that since the order did not conclusively determine the rights of the parties with regard to the matters in the suit, the suit could be reinstated. This was in the case of AKAMBA PUBLIC ROAD SERVICES LTD VS DAVIS MUCHUNGUZI MUTABIIRWA High Court Misc Application No. 155 of 2010 arising from HCCS No. 616 of 2006 (unreported) where the Hon. Justice Bamwine sated as follows:-
"I have of course addressed my mind to the effect of a decision made under Order 17 Rule 4 in A.H. ZAIDI VS F.H HUMEIDAN [1960] EA 92 and TARIOL SINGH SACTGU VS ROADMASTER CYCLES (U) LTD CACA NO. 46 OF 2000. It was held that a decision made under this rule was a decision on the merit which gave rise to decree. The two decisions are of course still good law. However their facts are distinguishable from the ones herein, I realize in this case that the suit had been given two hearing dates. Having failed to appear on 18.03.2010, the defendant would have appeared on 30.03.2010. The later fixture was not drawn to my attention by learned counsel for the plaintiff.
Even then the Order I made did not conclusively determine the rights of the parties with regard to the matters in controversy in the suit. The plaintiff had not even been cross examined to test the veracity of his testimony against the defendant. Judgment has not been delivered, the same having been reserved for delivery on a later date. There is therefore no appealable decree on the matter, preliminary or otherwise, as defined in Section 2 of the Civil Procedure Act. I would have come to a different conclusion if judgment or any appealable order had been entered against or in favour of any party under this Rule".
First of all since as Justice Bamwine rightly states SALEM A. H ZAIDI VS F.H HUMEIDAN [1960] EA 92 is still good law. The position is that a judgment pronounced against a party under this rule "must be deemed to be a decision on the merits and have the same effect as a dismissal upon evidence and accordingly the matters in issue in the first action must be deemed to have been heard and determined; the dismissal of the earlier action therefore operated as res judicata." The dismissal of the suit in this case is a final disposal of the suit as envisaged by Order 17 Rule 4. Secondly unlike in the case of Akamba where court found that the applicant took all reasonable steps to be present in court I find that no reasonable steps were taken by the applicant to appear in court. In the Akamba case the applicant had appeared in court but had only arrived late. In this case nobody appeared. The other factor taken into account in the Akamba case was that the case had been fixed for two days. In the case of Akamba the judgment had been reserved while this case no judgment had been reserved. The suit was dismissed without any reservation.
The respondent did not raise any objection to the application to reinstate the suit but on the authority of SALEM AHMED HASSAN ZAIDI VS FAUD HUSSEIN HUMEIDAN (supra) the matter was finally determined by the dismissal of the suit and for that reason a reinstatement is not tenable.
Therefore I decline to grant the order to set aside the dismissal order and reinstate the suit.
This application is dismissed with costs to the respondent.

Persuasion Success: How to Appeal to Different Age Groups
April 29, 2018 /0 Comments/in Latest Updates /by Mark Rodgers
"What's Omaha Beach?"
The twentysomething looked at me expectantly. I frequently tell people that not every persuasion priority should be as difficult as taking Omaha Beach. I've said it thousands of times. But this was a first. I realized I had crossed into The Twilight Zone. (Wait, this guy wouldn't know that reference, either!)
Yes, it seems that a mention of World War II's D-Day no longer resonates with my audiences. I've adjusted my presentations accordingly, which is what you'll need to do in your persuasion efforts. Whether you are in the cohort known as "Mature" or the one called "Millennial," it doesn't matter what your frame of reference is. You need to know your target's frame of reference.
Although the names and date ranges fluctuate among experts, here are some common generation parameters:
Matures were born between 1909 and 1945.
Boomers were born between 1946 and 1964.
Xers were born between 1965 and 1981.
Millennials were born between 1982 and 1996 (and later, according to some observers).
Rocking the Ages: The Yankelovich Report on Generational Marketing summarizes some of the key differences among age groups exceptionally well.
• Matures often are described as both the Silent Generation and the Greatest Generation, as they are defined by the idea of answering a call to duty. They celebrated victory after hard-fought battles (like the one waged on Omaha Beach) and needed to be team players. Education to Matures was a privilege. Living example: Betty White
• For Boomers, individuality reigned supreme. Youth was valued and self-absorption rampant. They were rewarded because they deserved it, and leisure was the primary reason for living. Education was an entitlement, "now" is more important than "later" and money is meant to be spent. Living examples: Bill Gates, Demi Moore, and Jerry Seinfeld.
• For Xers, success usually means two jobs. And if you really want to get ahead in the world, you must be an entrepreneur. After all, "the man" exists to bring you down. Mention a "program" to Xers, and they'll wonder if you're referring to Microsoft Word or Outlook Express. Living examples: Jennifer Aniston and David Beckham.
• Millennials grew up in what some call the "era of the child." Where in previous generations children were seen and not heard, this generation of kids was put on a pedestal. They typically work well with friends and on teams because they grew up with play dates and other organized social outings. They believe everyone should be rewarded for their efforts and do something not because the boss said so but because it makes sense. Millennials often are called "digital natives" because they are members of the first generation to not know what it's like to live without the Internet. Living examples: Mark Zuckerberg, LeBron James and Kate Upton.
One generation always seems to like to mock the others. Matures pick on Boomers. Boomers make fun of Xers, and everyone snipes at Millennials. It's like living in Wisconsin and making fun of people from Illinois. Easy.
Here are the decision-making triggers that drive each generation to act:
Matures: It's the right thing to do.
Boomers: It feels good.
Xers: You'll get ahead if you do it.
Millennials: It's just smart to do.
You can learn the age of your targets by asking where and when they went to high school. (I can work that into just about any conversation.) After you receive the answers, tuck that info away for a future generationally appropriate reference. Here are some examples:
Class of 1970s: "Man, that idea is going to be the Sony Walkman of your industry."
Class of 1980s: "This project is going to make you look like Tom Cruise in Top Gun."
Class of 1990s: "This idea could be bigger than Nirvana."
Class of 2000s: "It's important we keep the new product under wraps until the introduction. We don't want to be accused of spreading fake news."
Of course, these examples won't always resonate, but when they do, you'll see a spark in your target's eye. Besides, you don't have to be a 1994 grad to understand the Nirvana reference.
Generational differences matter. One Harley-Davidson dealer I know casually asks customers during their purchase experience for the name of their favorite song in high school. Then when the customer takes delivery of the motorcycle, guess what song is booming through the store's sound system? The music creates strong, positive feelings about the experience and improves the dealership's customer satisfaction scores.
Just remember: Every generation has a different frame of reference. For example, to Millennials, a "45" has always been a gun and never a record, and Elton John was never a rock star.

Sienna says: "Our style reflects not only our personality, but how we view the world as a whole. Just as these elements aren't static, nor is our style because as we evolve as individuals, so does our own personal style.
Some days might find me in a soft floral dress with a straw hat, while others I wake up and nothing will do except a simple form fitting dress, boots and statement jewelry. Other days are jeans days with boots, a tank, jacket and put together by accessories. Then there are the days I can barely get out of my kitty cat trapdoor jammies.
There are elements that tend to flow from style to style, well except for maybe the pjs. I like to add a twist, a bit of fierceness to whatever I wear. It might be the hair and/or jewelry, but there will be something such as out there hair and piercings with a gown.
Lately, I've been experimenting with retro Hollywood glam, and finding my own twist to it. After all, who is to say Audrey Hepburn didn't ever sport a mohawk!
