Our Nuremberg library is open on weekdays apart from Monday. Simply contact us to arrange your visit. Attention: The library will be closed from March 29 until April 20, 2018.
Open to the public, the DB Museum's library has the most important collection of rail-related publications in Germany. For over a century, we have been acquiring books and magazines connected to every aspect of the world of rail and related topics.
One of these publications is Eisenbahnzeitung ("Railway newspaper"), first published in the early 1840s! From 1847 to 1860, this publication carried the sub-header "Voice of Germany's railway management associations" and served as the specialist newspaper of the body coordinating the nation's rail services.
Another important publication is senior engineer Edmund Heusinger von Waldegg's magazine for "technological progress in the railways". First published in 1845, Organ für die Fortschritte des Eisenbahnwesens in technischer Beziehung carried stories about every important invention and technological innovation, together with numerous illustrations and tables.
These publications are available for use in the library of the DB Museum.
If you would like to use any material in our library, simply contact us in writing (post or e-mail) if possible. Our details are located to the right. Please indicate your postal address even when contacting us by e-mail.

The Jewelry Trends to Seek Out During Vegas Market Week
Ashley.Davis@nationaljeweler.com
This Anthony Lent ring appeals to both women and men. Unisex styles are a trend to spot at the upcoming Las Vegas jewelry market week. Lent is exhibiting at Couture, booth 137.
Our jewelry reflects the world we live in.
So, during Las Vegas market week 2019, expect to encounter jewels that are both bold and colorful or pared down and classic, but know that each style says something about where we are now, culturally.
From the micro-trends (legalized marijuana-inspired pieces) to overarching movements (sustainability) to trends that are purely aesthetic (color via inlay and ombré shades), here's what we think retailers and other jewelry buyers will see more of in Sin City.
Brent Neale Medium Cannabis earrings in 18-karat yellow gold with malachite and diamonds ($3,450). The brand will exhibit at Couture with For Future Reference, booth 601.
1. Cannabis Culture
In 2019, jewelry is about so much more than aesthetics.
Flora and fauna have long been designers' muses, but a cannabis motif is particularly timely, as recreational marijuana continues to be legalized around the United States and the world.
With the news that New York might be the next state in line to decriminalize the substance, trappings of cannabis culture, both political and whimsical, are hitting the retail market, from cannabidiol (CBD)-infused lattes to Barneys New York's new luxury cannabis accessory shop-in-shop at its Beverly Hills store.
For once, the typically insular jewelry world is in on the trend early, with designers like Brent Neale and Established Jewelry creating campy marijuana-inspired styles. Even Bulgari has gotten in on the action with its high-jewelry take (no pun intended) on marijuana leaves from the "Wild Pop" collection.
Brent Neale Winston, designer of her eponymous collection, began incorporating a marijuana motif into her work after designing a custom pair of earrings for a client.
"I loved the way they came out," Winston explains, "so I made myself a pair. Weed has become such a part of our society that it's just not taboo or even noticeable anymore. I get a kick out of wearing them with a formal dress to a wedding or black-tie event."
For Dallas- and Fort Worth-based retailer Ylang 23, it's evolving its product offerings as its customers become more daring and willing to experiment.
"Our customers are taking a lot more fashion risks when it comes to their jewelry," says Vice President of Business Development Alysa Teichman.
"For us, it started with our piercing parties and the emergence of multiple holes throughout various parts of the ear. With some of our designers, including Established, we have decided to carry the edgier side of their collection, which includes cannabis jewelry, because if our customers want it, why not offer it?"
Rona Fisher oxidized silver and 18-karat yellow gold bracelet ($895). The brand will exhibit at the Premier show, booth 2512.
2. Unisex Styles
Unisex jewelry is another trend that points to a societal shift. Like gender-neutral clothing, it is indicative of the growing cultural acceptance of gender fluidity and a disregard for conforming to traditional roles.
The style for women is most commonly expressed through bold signet rings or pendant necklaces with a slight industrial feel, often in mixed metals, that lend a "borrowed-from-the-boys" energy to an outfit.
Lines also blur the opposite way, with men adopting more traditionally feminine styles, says Paola De Luca, CEO of trend forecasting company The Futurist.
"Men are actually using feminine elements in their wardrobe," she says. "Men are wearing diamonds. Let's not forget that, historically, men wore precious stones like rubies, emeralds and diamonds. Today, you see someone like Stephen Webster wearing a pearl necklace. Of course, he wears it in a very cool, rockstar way but it's interesting and new and innovative."
Men, treading on what was typically considered to be "female" turf, have been visible on recent red carpets, with actors and musicians getting more experimental with shapes, colors, textures and patterns, and wearing more elaborate jewelry. Conversely, some women, especially in light of the gender equality movement, are wearing pants instead of dresses, along with sleek, unfussy jewelry.
Think Billy Porter, of "Pose" fame, donning a tuxedo dress and pairing it with a 20-carat yellow diamond ring at the 2019 Oscars or Amy Poehler of "Parks and Recreation" in a simple all-black pantsuit and a handsome diamond brooch.
Kim Mee Hye's 18-karat pink gold earring with white diamonds ($5,543). The brand will exhibit at Couture in the Design Atelier, booth DA12.
3. Upping Your Ear Game
The popularity of studs to be worn in multiple piercings made the earring the essential piece of jewelry in recent years. The last few seasons saw the return of larger earring looks, like the chandelier and shoulder dusters.
"Alternative earrings" merge the best of both styles, combining an edgy, often-asymmetric look with size for an innovative, statement-making piece in the vein of Ana Khouri.
Likewise, Kat Kim's ear pin has graced dozens of red carpets, and Kim Mee Hye is constantly imagining new and unusual ways women can adorn their ears.
De Luca points to the volume of single earring sales as a testament to the trend's strength and says as eclectic style soars, shoppers are taking control of their own look.
"Many collections are now sold not matching, especially earrings. You have an ear cuff and you wear it stacked. You wear five different earrings, three in one ear and two in the other ear, and you have different piercings, and you do your own mixing and matching.
"The attitude is: 'You're not going to tell me what to wear––I'm going to do it on my own,'" De Luca explains.
Graziela Gems titanium earrings with diamonds ($3,000). Graziela will exhibit at Couture, booth 508.
4. Street Style-Inspired
While some trends trickle down from fashion runways and luxury brands, others trickle up from the street.
Urban staples like script rings, gold chains and hoop earrings have worked their way into the mainstream, becoming a mainstay for the stylistically savvy far outside the realm of their original cultures.
De Luca says many a trend starts in the subways of cities like New York, London and Hong Kong, and thanks to social media, spreads faster than ever before.
"Streets are dictating, especially now in the digital era and because of social media. Consumers are dictating more and more the rules of fashion and style."
The new versions of jewelry inspired by early-1990s street style are a little different though.
"Hoops are very much back, but modern hoops, not necessarily the old style," says De Luca. "They're thinner, larger and sometimes sprinkled with diamonds."
Retrouvaí Yin Yang ring in 14-karat yellow gold with rhodochrosite and diamond ($3,430). The brand will exhibit at Couture with For Future Reference, booth 601.
5. Inlay All Day
The ubiquity of enamel—a trend that is still going strong—has paved the way for inlay, another way to create large swaths of dynamic color through relatively inexpensive stones like lapis lazuli, turquoise, mother-of-pearl, malachite and pink opal.
While many gemstone-favoring designers have long incorporated inlay and the aforementioned stones into their work, it's exciting to watch a newer crop of brands, like Retrouvaí, explore the possibilities the technique has to offer.
Ylang 23's Teichman says Jennifer Meyer's heart and eye pendants, set with turquoise, lapis and opal, ignited the inlay trend in her stores.
"The way that designers use inlay has continued to evolve, most notably with Retrouvai's Compass collection—we especially love the 'Grandfather' compass, which rotates; Jacquie Aiche's exquisite inlay eye and galaxy pieces; and Marla Aaron's inlay lock series," says Teichman. "We expect to see a lot more inlay in the future."
Lauren K Fine Jewelry 18-karat yellow gold aquamarine, tsavorite and diamond earrings ($4,450). The brand will exhibit at JCK Luxury, booth LUXP28067.
6. Color Waves
An emphasis on color in recent years has resulted in a slew of rainbow, pastel and ombré styles landing in retailers' showcases.
But some of the most inspiring designs are coming from designers who have a gift for color, carefully combining just a few shades of the same color family, rather than throwing every hue of the rainbow together.
"We love that more and more designers are taking risks with new stones and putting them together in different ways," Teichman says.
Vram, Arman Sarkisyan and Nam Cho are just a few designers who make an art out of stone selection, crafting tonal stories that are undeniably appealing to the eye.
Noor Fares' 18-karat yellow gold pendant with ruby, mother-of-pearl and rock crystal base, rhodolite garnet and diamonds ($5,779). The brand will exhibit at Couture in the Design Atelier, booth DA15.
7. Spiritual Symbols
Symbols derived from Eastern spiritual practices are only growing in their appeal. Designers' best versions, like the ones pictured, work on both a spiritual and intellectual level.
Noor Fares' Chakra collection is based on the premise of energy centers in the body, touted in Hinduism as well as many New Age spiritual practices.
Ancient tantric symbols adorn many of the pieces ARK designer Ann Korman creates.
"I am not religious," she says, "but I believe anything and everything is possible. I reached a point where I only wanted to wear jewelry with meaning and intention. I also wanted to uplift and inspire other people because I feel we are at a place in time when people need to feel empowered.
"I think many people are like me and want to wear things that are meaningful and can inspire them every day," says Korman.
The Futurist trend forecaster De Luca agrees, attributing a rise in spirituality to the prevalence of motifs relating to the galaxy and the cosmos in jewelry design, which often allude to astrology.
"Modern society is more attracted to spiritualism than religion," she says, citing the popularity of astrology, yoga, gemstones, crystals and all manner of energy healing. "Spirituality kind of embraces every culture, and that's very appealing to people."
As concepts like mindfulness and practices like meditation become once again popular in Western cultures, so do works inspired by them. It's just one more way that fine jewelry can feel meaningful and sentimental to its owners.
Dana Bronfman Moving Drop Pendant in 18-karat recycled yellow gold with responsibly sourced malachite, emerald and diamonds ($5,530). Bronfman will exhibit at Couture, booth 137.
8. Sustainable Materials
Aligning with other sectors in the jewelry supply chain, such as the mining, refining, manufacturing, and gem cutting industries, for which traceability and sustainability are becoming increasingly more important, designers also continue to experiment with alternative, sustainable materials.
Vogue Italia's American jewelry design showcase has transformed into a call to contemporary designers to broaden their sourcing materials and use non-traditional items, like tagua nut as an ivory substitute.
A number of brands like Dana Bronfman, AnaKatarina Fine Jewelry and Yael Sonia aren't sacrificing style for eco-responsibility; instead they're letting their imaginations run wild by searching for unexpected resources.
"Jewelry clients are becoming more and more informed about the ethical and sustainable origins of the materials used in jewelry," says Ana-Katarina Vinkler-Petrovic.
"They are conscious of the impact of their purchasing and want to be part of the solution, not the problem. Today, the design and process of sourcing are intertwined in the story of the piece."
De Luca is quick to note that designers have been exploring what are considered non-precious materials for more than 100 years, citing René Lalique, the Art Nouveau-era artist who would incorporate elements like wood into his work at the turn of the 20th century, as a reaction to the first mass-produced jewelry.
There was also Italian jeweler Fulco di Verdura, who emigrated to America at the beginning of World War II when precious materials grew scarce, and began to use shells or vintage jewelry, essentially recycling the jewelry's original materials.
Today, more brands than ever are looking for alternative materials with less of an environmental impact than traditional ones.
"Rough diamonds with lots of inclusions and many stones, like malachite, were not appreciated in the past," says De Luca. "It was only flawless gemstones and diamonds; everything should be the same. Now, designers are using these materials for a more sustainable and ethical approach to the environment and life."
The trend forecaster says this reflects a cultural embrace of imperfection and uniqueness, too.
"It's like imperfection becomes perfection and flaws become uniqueness and beauty. Even models now, they're not so perfect. They're a little off. A little off makes it interesting. That's a big revolution in society that translates, inevitably, to jewelry."
Dudley Van Dyke 14-karat yellow gold and jade fob ($7,200). The brand is exhibiting at Premier, booth 2515.
9. What's Old Is New
The line that divides the sale of antique and vintage jewelry from new designs is blurring. Many more retailers are selling both, due to consumer demand and a large supply.
Barney's New York now stocks works from Stephanie Windsor Antiques while Fred Leighton sells on Net-a-Porter. As a result, the interest in antique jewelry shows is exploding among jewelers.
Other designers are also repurposing vintage pieces, just as Verdura sometimes re-worked them into something new. There's a growing movement, typified by brands such as Toni + Chloë Goutal and Mindi Mond, of sourcing antique pieces, refurbishing them, and reworking them to create new jewelry art, breathing modernity into old items from the jewelry box.
As sustainability rises, so will this trend.

Optimal power-to-mass ratios when predicting flat and hill-climbing time-trial cycling
AM Nevill
SA Jobson
RCR Davison
Asker Jeukendrup
Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation Sciences
The purpose of this article was to establish whether previously reported oxygen-to-mass ratios, used to predict flat and hill-climbing cycling performance, extend to similar power-to-mass ratios incorporating other, often quick and convenient measures of power output recorded in the laboratory [maximum aerobic power (W (MAP)), power output at ventilatory threshold (W (VT)) and average power output (W (AVG)) maintained during a 1 h performance test]. A proportional allometric model was used to predict the optimal power-to-mass ratios associated with cycling speeds during flat and hill-climbing cycling. The optimal models predicting flat time-trial cycling speeds were found to be (W (MAP) m(-0.48))(0.54), (W (VT) m(-0.48))(0.46) and (W (AVG) m(-0.34))(0.58) that explained 69.3, 59.1 and 96.3% of the variance in cycling speeds, respectively. Cross-validation results suggest that, in conjunction with body mass, W (MAP) can provide an accurate and independent prediction of time-trial cycling, explaining 94.6% of the variance in cycling speeds with the standard deviation about the regression line, s=0.686 km h(-1). Based on these models, there is evidence to support that previously reported VO2-to-mass ratios associated with flat cycling speed extend to other laboratory-recorded measures of power output (i.e. Wm(-0.32)). However, the power-function exponents (0.54, 0.46 and 0.58) would appear to conflict with the assumption that the cyclists' speeds should be proportional to the cube root (0.33) of power demand/expended, a finding that could be explained by other confounding variables such as bicycle geometry, tractional resistance and/or the presence of a tailwind. The models predicting 6 and 12% hill-climbing cycling speeds were found to be proportional to (W (MAP) m(-0.91))(0.66) revealing a mass exponent, 0.91, that also supports previous research.

China recognises rival 3G technologies
17 May 2007 @ 18:11
It comes as no great surprise but China's Ministry of Information Industry has finally named WCDMA and cdma2000 as the other two official 3G standards to join the homegrown TD-SCDMA platform.
China ratified its own 3G standard, TD-SCDMA (time division synchronous code division multiple access), in January last year. Despite not yet announcing a timetable for licensing 3G, the country's authorities maintain 3G networks will be fully operational in time for the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
Despite the latest developments, China is no closer to revealing its plans to distribute licences. However, some believe that the official recognition of WCDMA and cdma200 as 3G technologies means TD-SCDMA has finally reached commercial maturity.
It is now expected that WCDMA and CDMA200 will be tested on a wider scale.
Leading mobile operator, China Mobile, is preparing to spend around $3bn on its 3G upgrade and is reported to have already invited bids for contracts to build a TD-SCDMA network from equipment manufacturers. The network will span eight major cities and commercial trials of the 3G service will begin in October. Cities covered by the network will include Beijing and Shanghai.

Q: Where can we find a config data in Windows In Windows, what are the built-in options to store config data (any data) locally?
I see three categories at least:

*

*Files (such as .txt, .ini, .xml etc)

*ODBC

*Registry

Anything else?
I want to know if there are any other options.
Let's say you installed a software and you want to know where it is referencing for its own config data, where can we look for?
FYI:
OS: Windows 7 64 bit English version.

A: Am not sure that, this is what you need.

*

*Click Start, point to All Programs, and then click Accessories.

*Right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run As Administrator or Start-> Run-> cmd.

*Type bcdedit at the command prompt

please refer this link for more info: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ff404185.aspx

A: That's pretty much your options, but I have to pull you up on number 2.  ODBC is not a location in which you can store data; it's a technology by which you can access data.  An application interacts with an ODBC driver and then that driver interacts with a data source.  That data source will most often be a database of some sort but certainly not always.  I think what you actually meant to say was "database", which may or may not be accessed via ODBC from an application.

Home » revelation » Seraph Hunter » Seraph Hunter 2 Chapter 28: The Evening Revelation
by Michael King on February 19, 2021 at 8:00 am
At that, Libby stepped back as the whole stage slowly faded to dark. Indeed, everything around Brenzel went to pitch black, except that she could clearly see the people around her and feel the grass underneath her feet.
In the darkness a small wind instrument, like a piccolo, played softly from the right, answered by a chorus of french horns sounding to her left. Everything and everyone stood perfectly still as six faint lights, like stars, began to appear in the darkness. As stately, long notes of the horns rose, the firmament became alive with stars. String instruments swelled as Dove came forward. Behind her, raising their arms in worship and fanning their wings, her five sisters began singing softly, almost a collective sigh, which rose and fell on the sea of melody under them. Intertwined, the sisters' voices harmonized together perfectly.
Hands and arms beginning to move by themselves, Bren's feminine form swayed. Trusting and releasing herself to God's Spirit, she felt as if she was being lifted up, like a ship on the sea, caressed by an invisible breeze.
The evening revelation
Dove, in a contralto voice, sang,
In ancient times, eons past, YHWH walked in his garden. In beauty's rest, first love's embrace, God laid down in His Garden.
The other seraphim chimed in, supporting Dove, providing background and context to her voice with beautiful, subtle harmonies.
As the music quieted then swelled again, Dove continued,
Now comes the time when all things are restored. YHWH speaks again. A new day dawns, the curse is passed, He welcomes us back to His garden.
Something akin to a harp flourished among all the strings, woodwinds, and brass. Bren not only heard the music, but felt it deep in her being in three-four time, almost a waltz. Tones resonated with her in a profound way she couldn't pinpoint or explain. It was more than music; it felt like and act of creation.
Now the day has come, it was foretold, that we will walk in the cool of the Garden. For all those who hear, for all who obey, God restores His loved ones to His Garden.
Seven sisters will be, in the firmament of God, walking among His loved ones. United again, YHWH says, "All things are made new." in His Garden.
Blessings and light, love and grace, is our portion in His Garden of Delights. For though love was lost, it is regained, behold beauty walks again in His garden. When hearts are one, all are healed, peace will come to all who love Him.
From there, Dove and the others joined in one voice, as angels singing among the stars. Everyone who surrounded Bren in the vast crowd swayed, hands up, faces enraptured. Time stood still, everything and everyone seemed to mesh together in a profound sea of oneness.
Weeping for joy, touched so deeply by the revelation from Dove, Bren's heart ached for the completion of God's work. There was no conscious thinking, just a knowing as she felt God's sorrow and longing to be whole. Instinctively, Bren yearned to help in some way, though she did not know how.
As everything faded back to the stage, Bren opened her eyes, and there was Desere, in a light chiffon dress, smiling from ear to ear.
Moved beyond emotion, Bren exclaimed, "You came!" Bren moved closer, taking her friend's hands as they both began swaying to the music. Releasing her last bit of self control, Brenzel's eyes locked deeply into Des' spirit as they began to whirl, moved by an invisible, gentle hand that guided both their bodies. Twirling together, arms raised, they bent down then up, side to side, briefly pirouetting, then back, eyes meeting again.
Divine movement
Those next to them fell in sync too, entering into the same cadence and movements. The effect slowly spread throughout the assembly of thousands of thousands, all choreographed by YHWH's Spirit. Head lifted and back, the green fire of Des' Spirit shot out, then fell back into her, expanding with every flare.
Bren, totally lost in the moment, began to manifest a soft, violet light, which shimmered and spun about her. Desere's spirit fire touched her face, as Brenzel sighed, cheeks tingling, mouth open, eyes fluttering, continuing to spin about, moved by His Spirit. Her ethereal light, like a fountain, sprang up out of her, spreading over both her and Des as they danced.
The Seraphim on stage began to fall into the same swaying motion, wings outstretched, shimmering brilliant colors illuminating the night. Their spirits lifted up, ascending into the sky, higher and higher, until they became as the stars of heaven.
Feeling herself lift up too, Bren saw the dance of the Last Great Day from above. Everyone whirled and twirled about in union with God and each other, pivoting around Bren and her friend. Slowly, the whole mass broke into couples, moving around each other as if in a heavenly ball, as the violet fire poured out of Bren's heart, expanding up and and over, covering the entire assembly.
Dancing as one
Tens of thousands of people, like a great mass of spiritual whirling dervishes, danced as one, rotating slowly around the center.
From above, Bren marveled, That's the same pattern as the flowers in Fabulous' garden!
Rising higher and higher into the night, until the whole festival looked like a jewel in the darkness, Brenzel felt truly free. Neither afraid nor surprised, everything about her felt perfectly right. She sensed Dove and her sisters meshing with her in an overwhelming completeness, welcoming her into their embrace.
Above the dancing crowd, lights shimmered in the night sky, blue, orange, yellow, green, indigo, violet, and a new, unique seventh color: A bright, softer violet that spilled over far into the invisible spectrum; an ultraviolet. Together they all played and danced in the sky above the Last Great Day, seven sisters, the jewels of heaven.
Whaitiri said, "She's lovely, isn't she."
Cooing, Dove replied, "She's… magnificent."

Q: laurent series expansion problem 1 I am trying to find the laurent series for the function $\frac{1}{z+z^2}$ for domain $0<|z+1|<1$.
I separated the function into:
$f(z)=\frac{1}{z}\frac{1}{z+1}$
I am having trouble with the second term. What I tried to do was $\frac{1}{z+1}=\frac{1}{z+1}*\frac{1}{1+\frac{2}{z+1}}$ but obviously they not equal any hinto as to how to start will be appreciated and thanks!

A: $$f(z) = \frac1{z+1} \frac1{z+1-1} = -\frac1{z+1} \frac1{1-(z+1) }=-\frac1{z+1} \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} (z+1)^k$$

Canadian Politics: Mind the Middle
The decimation of the federal Liberals provides new hope for Canadian moderates
Canada is becoming a very strange place. Historically, our political landscape was shaped by the apathetic, sprinkled with some conservatives, liberals and socialists. Policies were drafted and negotiated based on the reality that ideologues did not yield power in this nation. Pierre Trudeau, Brian Mulroney, Jean Chretien – all of the most significant leaders this country has seen over the past 40 years have governed from the center, their base providing a lift and moderates providing their political survival. The apathetic played their role too – they stayed out of it. Canada had a brilliant international reputation as being fiscally prudent peacekeepers who brokered free trade agreements, hosted Olympic Games, milked internet bandwidth for all it was worth and extremely potent marijuana. It is cynical, but today we have a growing portion of our electorate who know how to say words like 'socialist' or 'fascist' but clearly have trouble defining either term. Ignorance may be bliss, but it is running rampant in the great white north.
How did we get here? When did we go from affable to laughable, and who is to blame for our new trot towards the mindless recitation of talking points from talking heads? The Reform Party may have been the first domino – a stringent, ideological crew from western Canada made from a mix of Libertarian and Evangelical roots. They successfully dismantled the federal Progressive Conservatives, turning a reasonable right-leaning party into an ideological posse ripe with partisan beliefs and an unwavering philosophy. Former prime minister Joe Clark, once seen by his political rivals as a conservative stalwart, seemed not only tame but reasonable by his former opponents on the Hill. Alberta, disgruntled by Trudeau's energy policies which cemented an air of resentment within the province, yearned for a voice better suited to the narrative being recited for decades. That narrative was stark, a sort of provincialism reminiscent of Quebec separatists only without tales of an unfair confederacy nestled inside the rhetoric. Of course, Albertan conservatives would disagree, claiming decades of injustice had passionate reactions among regular folks, but in Canada this was brand new: a dismantling of a Canadian political institution and the beginning of the new conservative indoctrination project.
The new Canadian conservative movement has been fueled by two incontrovertible facts. The first is an easy pick: Liberal Party incompetence. While Liberals tend to blame member infighting for their woes, the Chretien vs Paul Martin beef is propped up by residue from the sponsorship scandal and most recently exacerbated by two leadership conferences that produced two lackluster leaders. Meanwhile, the NDP has collected the scraps from the Liberal table and now sits at the head, creating a polarized Canada and the perfect storm for the Conservative Party.
But the most troubling recruiting tool currently being sharpened by the conservative right is the encouragement of demonizing political rivals by right wing strategists, pundits and politicians. Regular right-leaning Canadians are answering the call with American-inspired attacks on all who lean left. Evidence of this deliberate tactic is everywhere. The caricature is hockey grump Don Cherry who mused at Toronto Mayor Rob Ford's inauguration about 'left wing pinkos' and 'bike riding communists'. Message boards and comment sections on newspaper sites contain a treasure trove of vitriolic statements and ideological rants that not just disagree with non-conservative views but vilify and marginalize those who think differently.
Hardcore leftists are equally repugnant in their brief and rather unlettered manifestos, often describing Stephen Harper as a fascist while creating conspiracy theories about his ties to corporations and the state of Israel. Talk of Canada's national identity being reshaped by fundamental Christians is complimented by maniacal claims of hidden political agendas and treasonous takeovers by oil companies.
And the Liberals, a party who had tried to brand itself as Canada's only band of moderates, suddenly find themselves pushed aside. They deserve their political demotion, but the need for political moderation has never been more dire. Canadians are being driven towards polarization through the politics of fear, a dangerous yet potent ingredient in mobilizing party support in any country. But this task of extracting reason from panic is an uphill battle for the Liberals who have spent the bulk of the last 7 years focusing on their rivals rather than their constituents. Pundits who muse about a possible merger between the Liberals and NDP are dreaming out loud. Jack Layton is finally reaching his potential and would never relinquish his new found role as leader of the opposition. Nor should he. Nor could he. Ideologically, the NDP and Liberals are worlds apart, mostly because the Liberals do not have a well defined ideology.
Perhaps the old adage of finding opportunity nestled inside crisis is too idealistic for Canadian moderates, but the prospect of throwing in the towel would spell disaster for the nation. The Liberals are a blank slate – bruised, beaten and bloodied – but they have wiggle room. Without any real influence over their conservative and socialist counterparts they have no choice but to redirect their gaze towards the very people who voted them out, while simultaneously engaging the only constituency who continue to be unrepresented – the youth. Incorrigible as they seem, not since the 60s have we seen a climate where young people are finding their voice. Their sloth-like pace is a frustrating testament to the outdated method of engagement undertaken by politicians stuck in an ancient ritual of long expired recruitment methods. It may be a colossal challenge, but without young people there can be no base, and without that youthful base there can be no party.
It has been the better part of a decade since Liberals engaged honestly with Canadians, and the better part of two decades since they last showed an alliance with them. Canada is not the United States…yet. But the symptoms of drifting towards a two party system are ripe, and without the emergence of a new centrist manifesto we could be in for a dark age in federal politics.

If your company or organisation is liable for Corporation Tax and makes a loss from trading, the sale or disposal of a capital asset, or on property income, then you may be able to claim relief from Corporation Tax.
You get tax relief by offsetting the loss against your other gains or profits of your business in the same accounting period. You can also choose to carry the loss back. If you do not, it will be forward carried to another accounting period.
The trading profit or loss for Corporation Tax purposes is worked out by making the usual tax adjustments to the figure of profit or loss shown in your company or organisation's financial accounts.
If you make a trading loss and it cannot be used in the same year, you may be able to choose to carry it back to earlier accounting periods, or it will be carried forward to be set off against the profit for future periods.
A claim for trading losses forms part of your Company Tax Return.
If your claim covers the company's latest accounting period, then enter "0" in box 155 on form CT600 and put the full amount of the loss in box 780.
You should also enter the whole loss, or as much of the loss as you can claim, in box 275 against your total profits.
If your company or organisation has a qualifying group relationship with another company, then you can choose to offset certain losses, including trading losses, against profits of other members of the group, instead of carrying it forwards or back.
Trading losses that you have not used in any other way can be offset against profits in future accounting periods, so long as the trade continues.
Trading losses are carried forward and set against profits of the same trade of the next accounting period for losses made in accounting periods ending before 1st April 2017.
You do not have to make any claim for this to happen as it is done automatically if you fill in your Company Tax Return.
For accounting periods from 1st April 2017, the way trading losses are set off will depend on when they arise.
These losses are carried forward and set against profits of the same trade of the next accounting period. A claim is not needed and the set off is done automatically.
If you do not want the losses set off, you can make a claim for these to be carried forward and set against trading profits of the following period instead.
The claims must be made within 2 years of the end of the accounting period for which no relief is to be given. The claim should normally be made by amending your tax return.
These losses are carried forward. In most cases they can be set against total profits of the company, or in certain circumstances, against total profits of a group company.
You need to make a claim for the relief within 2 years of the end of the accounting period in which the losses are to be set off. The claim should normally be made by amending your tax return.
The profits and losses of the periods are apportioned.
Instead of carrying a loss forward, you can claim for the loss to be offset against profits for the earlier 12 month period (not accounting period).
You can only do this if your company or organisation was carrying on the same trade at some point in the accounting period or periods that fall in the earlier 12 month period.
For example, if your company or organisation has a loss of £8,000 in the accounting period 1st January 2016 to 31st December 2016 and profits of £20,000 in the earlier 12 months, you can carry back the £8,000 loss to be set off against the profits for the previous accounting year, this will reduce them from £20,000 to £12,000.
If an accounting period straddles that 12 month period, the profit for that period is apportioned and the loss can only be offset against that portion of the profit that falls within the 12 month period.
You can carry back £2,000 of the loss to cover the whole of the profit in the period ended 31st December 2015.
The balance of the loss of £6,000 cannot be entirely carried back as only 6 months of the profits of £10,000 fall into the earlier 12 months of the loss making period.
Only a loss of £5,000 (6/12 x £10,000) can be used, and the balance of £1,000 is available to be carried forward to the year ended 31st December 2017.
You can make a claim to carry back a trading loss when you submit your Company Tax Return for the period when you made the loss.
You can make your claim in your return or in an amendment to the return, as long as you are within the time limit to amend it. The claim can also be made in a letter.
If you are making a claim in your return that reduces your Corporation Tax liability for an earlier period, you must make sure you have put an "X" in the appropriate box on the CT600 form.
If you are offsetting a loss against an accounting period where you have already paid the tax due, HMRC will send you a repayment, unless you owe any Corporation Tax, when it will be deducted from the payment first.
If you require further information on corporation tax trading losses, please contact Stallion Accountancy Services.

What to know about Lake Worth, Texas and the Flathead Lake area
Lake Worth has been one of the most popular lakes in the world since the 1950s, with more than 50 million visitors annually.
The lake is so popular that it's been called "Lake Worthland."
But Lake Worth was not the only one that has had a major decline in water levels over the years.
Over the past three decades, many smaller lakes have also suffered major declines.
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's (TPWD) Lake Worth Water Management District says that over the past 20 years, the lake has experienced the most severe decline in the state.
That includes the decline of the Lake Worth River, which in 2011 drained over 1.5 million acre-feet of water.
TPWD says that in 2012, the Lake St. Lucie River and its tributaries lost over 2.3 million acre feet of water due to flooding, as well as the Lake San Jacinto River, with an estimated loss of 2.4 million acre farts of water in 2016.
TPWD says that as of January 1, 2019, there are fewer than 300,000 acre fart streams in Lake Worth.
Lake Worth also has a water quality problem.
Lake St Lucie Lake, located at the mouth of the Trinity River, is a small lake with a low-volume lake.
That means that there are many smaller bodies of water that form a lake basin that contain more water.
Lake San Lucie is another small lake that is much larger.
According to TPWD, the San Jacintas are among the largest lakes in Texas and that they also are experiencing water loss.
The San Jacints are a large lake located about 60 miles southeast of San Antonio.
There are approximately 1,600 feet of volume of water inside the San Juan de Fuego, which is a large salt lake that forms a saltwater channel in Lake San Juan.
The saltwater flows over the lakebed.
The current is very low in Lake St Lucia.
The river flows over Lake San Jose and Lake San Marcos.
Lake Victoria, located along the Rio Grande in North Texas, has a population of over 6,000.
Its water level has decreased by nearly 50 percent over the last 25 years.
The reason for the drop is because of a combination of high-flow irrigation and an influx of low-flow runoff.
Lake Austin is a relatively small lake located just north of Austin, and it's a very popular lake.
The water level of Lake Austin has dropped by more than 60 percent over its past 25 years and has decreased the most in the last four years.
TPWR says that Lake Austin had an average flow of 4.5 feet per second from 2000-2014, and that it lost 2.6 feet per hour during that time.
Lake Travis, which sits on the Texas Gulf Coast, also has an area of more than 12 million acrefarts of surface water.
During the period 2002-2014 the average flow rate of the lake was 3.8 feet per minute.
However, as of April 2018, the average rate of flow was 7.5 inches per minute, and the rate has decreased to 7.2 inches per second since that time, according to TPWWD.
TPWA says that the amount of surface runoff in Lake Travis is increasing and has been for several years.
Some of the runoff has been collected in the Travis County Wildlife Refuge, which has about 4,000 acres of water, according the agency.
TPWF says that during the past five years, there have been more than 40 reported surface and deep-water rescues in the area.
TPWS says that a large part of the reason for these rescues is because the water levels of the wetlands have been dropping.
The TPWWR says the average surface runoff from the wetlands in the springtime is between 2 and 5 feet per day, and in the fall the amount is closer to 1 foot per day.
Lake El Dorado is located in southern Texas and has a small population of about 3,000 people.
The average surface water flow rate in Lake El Corazon is about 4 feet per mile, and a large portion of that is in the dry season, which ends in April.
TPWC says that water levels in the Lake El Morro and Lake El Marro wetlands are the lowest they have been in the past two decades.
In 2010, the total amount of water flowing into Lake El Mirador in the same period was 1.8 million acrefeet.
TPWTW says that due to drought conditions in southern areas of Texas, the river in Lake Texas has been declining in size.
TPWs river is about three-quarters of an acre in size, and TPWC has recorded the water level at the river to be less than half that in recent years.

Sheltered by the slopes of the Twelve Bens, this lakeside castle is a romantic, battlemented Gothic Revival fantasy. It was built as a present for his wife by Mitchell Henry (1826-1911), who was a Manchester tycoon and later Galway MP. The Henrys also purchased a huge area of moorland, drained the boggy hillside and planted thousands of trees as a windbreak for their new orchards and exotic walled gardens. After the sudden deaths of his wife and daughter, Henry left Kylemore and the castle was sold.
It became an abbey when Benedictine nuns fleeing from Ypres in Belgium during World War I, sought refuge here. The nuns now run the abbey as a select girls' boarding school. Visitors are restricted to the grounds, restaurant and craft shop where they can watch the abbey pottery being hand-decorated and fired. The cream earthenware pottery is painted with a fuchsia motif.
In 1999 a 2.5 ha (6-acre) restored Victorian walled garden opened in the grounds of the abbey, featuring the longest double herbaceous borders in Ireland, a nuttery and a meandering stream-side walk.
Kylemore Abbey is a must see attraction on your tours of Ireland.

A dear friend forwarded me this link last summer with the message, "You could totally do this!" Oh how I loved the idea, but completely doubted my ability. So I bookmarked it and forgot about it...until I started searching for Christmas gift ideas and came across my bookmark.
I have a lot of littles in my life right now (including my own Miss Olivia) and I knew this would make the perfect gift for each of them. As you can see, my book is very different from Cat's, but my design was very inspired by her beautiful book and how much her son loved it!
I chose the felt colors (all bright and bold against the "eco" brown) and Jack helped me choose the shapes for each number.
I tried to secure each piece of felt but also leave pieces free for little fingers to explore (especially the diamonds above and triangles below). I varied the stitches to give different textures (#5 is squares done in cross-stitch) to touch too.
I personalized each cover with nicknames and coordinated the edge stitching color to the cover.
My favorite part was the year that I back-stitched on the bottom of the back cover. I have one more to do for a birthday this month (I did 3 for Christmas) and I can't wait to stitch to 2011.
I don't know about the other kids, but my one-year-old is certainly a fan!
i don't even have a little anymore but this just melts my insides!!!
Seriously Heather, you are a absolute crafting queen! Love it!!
SO cute! Those turned out great!
seriously girlfriend, get yourself a sewing machine...the possibilities are endless... You are so so good with this stuff and I love that you take the time to do it (whether you lose sleep or not :) simply adorable!

Karl-Axel "Kalle" Sundqvist (* 29. November 1962 in Karlskrona) ist ein ehemaliger schwedischer Kanute.

Erfolge
Karl Sundqvist gab 1984 in Los Angeles sein Olympiadebüt, das er in zwei Wettbewerben bestritt. Im Einer-Kajak über 1000 Meter zog er nach zweiten Plätze im Vor- und im Halbfinallauf ins Finale ein, in dem er jedoch als Vierter hinter Gregory Barton knapp einen Medaillengewinn verpasste. Auch im Zweier-Kajak mit Bengt Andersson zog er auf der 1000-Meter-Strecke in den Endlauf ein. Diesen schlossen die beiden als Achte ab. Bei den Olympischen Spielen 1988 in Seoul wurden Sundqvist und Per-Inge Bengtsson im Zweier-Kajak auf der 500-Meter-Distanz im Vorlauf disqualifiziert. Mit dem Vierer-Kajak gelang ihm dagegen über 1000 Meter die Finalqualifikation. Die schwedische Mannschaft blieb allerdings weit hinter den Medaillenplätzen zurück, als sie die Ziellinie als Achte überquerte. Noch besser verlief der Wettbewerb im Einer-Kajak über 500 Meter, den Sundqvist im Finale auf dem fünften Platz beendete.

Vier Jahre darauf ging Sundqvist in Barcelona mit Gunnar Olsson im Zweier-Kajak in zwei Wettbewerben an den Start. Über 500 Meter gelang ihnen über den Hoffnungslauf und einen dritten Platz im Halbfinale die Finalqualifikation. Den Endlauf beendeten sie anschließend auf dem fünften Platz, etwa 1,5 Sekunden hinter den drittplatzierten Italienern. Erfolgreicher verlief für die beiden der Wettkampf auf der 1000-Meter-Strecke. Sie gewannen ihren Vor- und ihren Halbfinallauf und mussten sich im Finale lediglich den Deutschen Kay Bluhm und Torsten Gutsche um 1,6 Sekunden geschlagen geben. Mit einer Rennzeit von 3:17,70 Minuten verwiesen sie die Polen Grzegorz Kotowicz und Dariusz Białkowski auf den dritten Platz und sicherten sich so den Gewinn der Silbermedaille. Im Einer-Kajak über 500 Meter misslang ihm im Gegensatz zu 1984 und 1988 der Finaleinzug, er schied im Halbfinale aus.

1983 gewann Sundqvist in Tampere im Zweier-Kajak über 10.000 Meter mit Bengt Andersson als Dritter seine erste Medaille bei Weltmeisterschaften. 1985 belegte er in Mechelen mit dem Vierer-Kajak über 500 Meter den dritten Platz und sicherte sich mit ihm über 1000 Meter den Titelgewinn. Darüber hinaus schloss er im Einer-Kajak über 1000 Meter das Finalrennen auf dem dritten Platz ab. Bei den Weltmeisterschaften 1987 in Duisburg belegte er im Zweier-Kajak über 500 Meter mit Per-Inge Bengtsson den dritten und mit dem Vierer-Kajak über 1000 Meter den zweiten Platz. Weitere Bronzemedaillen folgten 1989 in Plowdiw auf der 1000-Meter-Strecke im Einer-Kajak sowie 1990 in Posen mit dem Vierer-Kajak über 10.000 Meter. In Kopenhagen wurde er drei Jahre darauf mit Gunnar Olsson im Zweier-Kajak über 1000 Meter Vizeweltmeister und gewann über 10.000 Meter seine siebte WM-Bronzemedaille.

New Book Chronicles Inspiring Tales From the Ironman Triathlon

For several years now, I have been regaling you with tales from the worlds of computing and science. It appears that there has been some merit to this endeavor, as the good people at Newsmax.com have not (thus far) seen fit to yank my credentials and send me packing.
Even better: As somewhat of a reward for not having bored their readers to tears, they have kindly consented to turning their backs momentarily while I slip in a crassly commercial plug for a new book. Before they catch on, let me explain.
For over twenty-five years, I have been a writer and photographer for the World Triathlon Corporation, the company that owns IRONMAN. For those of you not familiar with it, IRONMAN is considered the premier endurance athletic event in the world. It's a 140.6-mile race consisting of three disciplines, done consecutively, with no breaks: a 2.4-mile swim in open water, a bike ride of 112 miles, followed up by a full marathon of 26.2 miles.
What started out as a private challenge for 15 individuals in 1978 has since grown into the largest series of endurance racing events in the world, and one man has been witness to it all. His name is Mike Reilly, a.k.a. "the Voice of IRONMAN," and in addition to presiding over about a dozen IRONMAN races each year, for the past thirty years he's been the official announcer of the IRONMAN World Championship that takes place in Kailua-Kona, Hawai'i, every October.
More than 400,000 athletes have heard his iconic pronouncement, "You are an IRONMAN!" as they crossed the finish line having accomplished something most of us can hardly imagine.
Every one of those athletes has a story, and Reilly has heard hundreds of them. Ever passionate about the sport and its participants, he listened closely as they poured out remarkable tales that illuminate the human capacity for triumphing over seemingly insurmountable obstacles.
A firefighter nearly given up for dead after a horrific accident fights his way back to an IRONMAN start line. A former U.S. Marine, battling PTSD after losing many of his comrades in a deadly battle, finds healing in IRONMAN. Two professional triathletes battle each other in what was arguably the greatest head-to-head athletic competition of any kind, ever.
At long last, at the urging of many friends and athletes, Reilly decided to write a book about what he's seen and what he's learned. Wisely, he asked me to help, and here's the result:
Profoundly moving and inspirational, the stories range from the incredible to the hilarious and the book has already received raves from such luminaries (and IRONMAN finishers) as actor-producer-director Sean Astin, Super Bowl MVP Hines Ward, and Boston Marathon race director Dave McGillivray.
We aimed "MIKE REILLY: Finding My Voice" squarely at the general reader. Even those who have never heard of IRONMAN will be amazed, delighted, and inspired by these riveting tales.
You can learn more about this book and find out how to purchase a copy (it's in hardcover, softcover, eBook and audio editions) by visiting www.mikereilly.net/findingmyvoice/.
I think you're going to like it.
Thanks for listening, and I'll be back soon with a new installment of "A Walk on the Tech Side."

"Walt Whitman wrote 'Leaves of Grass,' which was…"
I think this is going to be another one of those sentences that begin all right, go on all right, and then go on a little too far and become ridiculous. And I know it's coming because although it does begin all right, it doesn't begin with much elegance or focus. "Walt Whitman wrote 'Leaves of Grass'" is a fairly flat beginning. "Yeah, so?" asks the reader. The opening has no promise: my student was merely pushing a pawn, so to speak, as a rather unimaginative rhetorical gambit. Statement of fact.
And the adjective clause that follows offers merely to define the noun just introduced. So, fact followed by definition. (Oh, I know you're thinking that "which was" could launch an observation rather than a definition: "which was revolutionary in form as well as content"; "which was the first truly American poem"; "which was arguably the most influential poetic work of the American nineteenth century"; and so on. But that's not what my student had in mind; she wanted a definition, and definition she gave.)
"Walt Whitman wrote 'Leaves of Grass,' which was a collection of poems that…" she goes on. The "that" may be launching a definition of the collection or the poems—in other words, a definition of something in the current definition. Or of course she may NOW be about to make an observation or judgment ("that shook the literary establishment," "that together defined Whitman and his world," "that he sent to Ralph Waldo Emerson in response to Emerson's call for a truly American voice"…).
But, at least up to the "that," she is on solid ground, if not very interesting ground. Put a period in there, my dear, and move quickly to engage your reader with the next sentence!
Here's what she did:
"Walt Whitman wrote 'Leaves of Grass,' which was a collection of poems that he wrote in his lifetime."
You see? She really didn't have anything in mind when she began the sentence, but she kept going in hopes that light would dawn. For that, I guess she didn't go on long enough. But evidently to her the sentence had acquired some necessary gravitas, or sonority, or importance, and was enough. Where the essay went from there I do not recall. Where could it go from there?
This student is not the only one fascinated by the fact that poets tend to write while they are alive. Or perhaps I should say Whitman was not the only poet who wrote while alive: Dante did too, for example.
I honestly don't know of any poet who wrote before birth, or after death. I once wrote something I had dreamed (Ah, Coleridge, you too?), but I don't think any dead poets were dictating.
But certainly there are many poets whose work lives on.
Mourning the loss today of Seamus Heaney, whose lyric poems are breathtaking, alive, moving—and whose translation of Beowulf reveals all the vigor of its Old English original as well as the story and its characters. Most distinct in his work is its life. You can't achieve that if you're not alive yourself.

Agreed, Indirect fire was almost always useless without timely remote communications to Direct fire, with the caveat - Unless the target was significantly deep, broad, and dense. This, when such conditions applied, there isn't much need to adjust fire between shots. Not as efficient as Direct fire to be sure, but I think the casualty returns demonstrate that Indirect fire in a target-rich environment can be pretty effective.

Other commentary suggests that the events you are referring to were more nuanced than merely 'scaring the crap out of the PA and US':
... By January 7, 2002, while the IA had no options to launch offensive operations across the LoC in the snow-bound areas of Jammu & Kashmir, in the plains of Punjab and Rajasthan the climatic conditions were ideal for surgical operations backed up by punitive air-strikes (i.e. high-intensity conventional war with tactically limited objectives). Despite all this being communicated by Gen Padmanabhan (who by then was also the Chairman of the Chiefs of Staff Committee, or COSC) to the CCNS, the Govt of India (GoI), through the CCNS, never spelt out any war-waging directives and related ROEs to either Gen Padmanabhan, or to Admiral Madhvendra Singh or to Air Chief Marshal Srinivasapuram Krishnaswamy. This in turn resulted in the armed services chiefs being subjected to severe psychological stress, since their respective theatre and fleet commanders were constantly badgering them for seeking approvals for activating their OP-PLANs. The IA's Western Command (HQed in Chandimandir, Punjab) was then the most important theatre command as far as Pakistan went and held extensive strike power. II 'Kharga' Corps was then the most important offensive formation (possessing 50% of the IA's offensive capabilities) and was tasked to tear through the Thar/Cholistan Desert at/near Rahimyar Khan and race towards Jacobabad, thereby cutting Pakistan into two.
Lt Gen Kapil Vij, the then GOC of II 'Kharga' Corps, was unaware of all that was happening back at Army HQ and the shenanigans within the civilian corridors of power in Delhi, and therefore proceeded to unveill the operational art dictating his OP-PLAN on the premise that the "law of the initial advantage of the aggressor" assumes critical importance, as it is the aggressor who generally sets the pattern which operations will take. Since no further operational instructions were emanating from either HQ Western Command (since IA HQ had not been issued any directives regarding the higher directions of war and related ROEs from the GoI), Lt Gen Vij decided to take the initiative with perfectly honourable intentions and by mid-January 2002 ordered a third of his warfighting armoured and mechanised infantry formations along with supporting field artillery assets—all located about 150km away from the international boundary (IB)—to be forward-deployed just 40km away from the IB, ready for the initial contact battles. The rest of his warfighting strength (follow-on forces for waging the breakthrough battles), including operational reserves, were positioned in a three-arrowhead formation along three probable routes-of-advance (a deployment done just prior to initiating the offensive). This was immediately picked up by US overhead recce satellites and was viewed by the US as an escalation, since it violated the India-Pakistan confidence-building measures (CBM)—formalised in the late 1980s after EX BRASS TACKS—that called for all land-based warfighting assets (men and material) of both countries to be kept 10km [NOTE: I am uncertain if this should in fact be 100KM], away from the IB and working boundary (WB), while the airspace of both countries would be no-fly-zones for combat aircraft and military helicopters 10km on either side of the IB and WB during peacetime. Therefore, it was not Pakistan that alerted the US about this, but the US itself saw all this through its overhead recce satellites and then reportedly confronted Brajesh Mishra with the evidence and bluntly asked him whether the GoI really wanted a full-scale war, or did it sincerely want the US to lean over Pakistan and prevent it from taking the Indian military's bait, which in turn would serve to subdue the 'war-mongerers' within the GoI and the three armed services. Consequently, a highly embarrassed Brajesh Mishra, in order to save his face and credibility in front of the US, allegedly directed the MoD under the then Defence Minister George Fernandes to force Army HQ to relieve Lt Gen Kapil Vij of his command of II 'Kharga' Corps (he was replaced by his junior Maj Gen Bhupinder Singh Thakur by January 21, 2002) as proof of Mishra's 'sincere' intentions about averting a full-scale war ...
TRISHUL: Travesties Of National Security
I would see the dismissal of Gen. Vij as being a requirement (under the circumstances at the time) given his decision to unilaterally escalate and potentially spark a war despite the lack of any direction/orders/instructions to do so from either the Army or political leadership.

Has PA ever practiced defense or warfare against a mobile force with the capability of bridge fording and mine breaching capabilities? I sure would be interested in reading about it because I have not seen any evidence of that.
I suggest you research Azm-e-Nau exercises.
Join Date: 04 Oct 04
I have to check off with Captain Lemontree and LCol Delta, but the IA exercises were intended to breach the three canals. They have to otherwise IA would be sitting ducks.
I would'nt waste good troops on those canal based defences. That is a meat grinder.
I would rather just pound the hell out of them, launch fients and tie their holding formations and reserves in that area and continue pounding them from the air and ground.
The actual thrust lines should be else where.

The Cold start battle groups were not addressed in those exercises. Do correct me if i'm wrong.

Fox Land and and Blue Land literally treat each other as enemies and both sides are equipped with Mechanized/Armoured Assets. There were many objectives behind these War Games but the main primarily being mobilizing at the required set of time set by PA commanders and making the concept of 'Joint Warfare' fully operational with PA and PAF working closely under the new C4I system.

Jordan Bromley leads Manatt Entertainment and the firm's entertainment transactions and finance practice. Jordan is highly sought after as an entertainment advisor who is consistently on the pulse of the latest market trends, and he is driving impactful advocacy efforts for industry creators. Jordan has been recognized by Billboard as one of "Music's Most Powerful Attorneys" and by Chambers USA as one of the country's foremost transactional lawyers in the entertainment industry. In feedback to Chambers, clients have lauded him as "the best there is. Period."
Recognizing that creators are no longer limited to the studio but instead are often CEOs of a global licensing regime, brand ambassadors and global strategists, Jordan emphasizes that his responsibility is to support and protect their activities in all countries and mediums, including on various tech-enabled platforms and metaverses proliferating in the Web3 era. This includes structuring global distribution networks and tours, ensuring trademark enforcement, and securing opportunities in developing markets. His extensive experience representing creators and owners of intellectual property makes him a strong strategic advisor to companies that use IP in their consumer-facing products or services.
A staunch advocate of creators' rights, Jordan devises and implements strategies to influence legislation and policy affecting IP in the music industry. He sits on the Board of Directors of the Music Artists Coalition. In this role, Jordan is active in the implementation of the Music Modernization Act, the ongoing reform discussions regarding the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, and various state and local measures that affect music creators, including bringing awareness to their rights to economic relief during the COVID-19 pandemic. Notably, he was the lead negotiator for the music business exemption in California's employment law AB 5.
Jordan is an authority on the streaming economy. In his 2016 royalty infographic, "U.S. Music Streaming Royalties Explained," he provided the first complete picture of how money flows to every participant in the value chain. With over a dozen separate data points, the infographic remains the most comprehensive and accurate existing view of U.S. streaming royalties.
Jordan is also known for his thought leadership. He is frequently published in and quoted by publications covering music issues, such as Billboard, The Hollywood Reporter, Rolling Stone, The Wall Street Journal, Entrepreneur, Newsweek, The Guardian, The Hill and Financial Times.
Prior to becoming an attorney, Jordan cofounded and developed Golden Mean Management, a Bay Area rap label and management, marketing, and distribution company. He also cofounded and developed Hip Hop Congress, an international nonprofit organization that uses hip hop music and culture to inspire social and civic action among young people.
