Wargame: European Escalation snuck up on me like a Delta Squad stealthing around the side of the map in a pair of Chinooks. The dull, heavy register of the rotors sounded a rhythmic beat that went utterly unnoticed by the net of Luchs Recon Vehicles that I'd spread like an ill-repaired net across my game-spotting flanks. Which is to say that I didn't hear about it until a good month after it was released, both because my friends who play strategy games are useless, and no one seemed to have covered it. But once it landed that surgical strike on my wide-open brain, it was difficult to understand why there weren't people on nearby hilltops, shouting about how great it was. It looks beautiful, has unique, interesting battle mechanics, and a meta-game of deck building that makes each encounter different, thanks to the units that people bring to the game.
It's time to talk about those encounters, and you shake you by the lapels. This is why Wargame is worthy of your attention.
Now that the game has been updated with Comp Stomp, Siege mode, and seven new maps to expand the already reasonable roster of lovely terrain to blow up and litter with tank carcasses. So I decided to pull a few friends together, put them on either side of a bitter feud, and see if I can't show you, through the medium of violence and war, exactly why Wargame is such a joy to play.
Reds are dirty communist PACT, and Blue are lovely, capitalist NATO forces. That's the kind of ideology at play here, for all you exposition fans. Anyway, the map is littered with control zones, which would be the odd grey shapes with silly military names like 'Echo' and 'Delta'. The numbers are how much they're worth to you, in deployment points. Those let you bring in more troops faster, but don't actually get you any closer to victory. And those reinforcement arrows, thrusting deep into the control zones, let you bring in troops to those zones directly. I have lovely dreams about those long, thrusting arrows, framed by the beautiful curves of rolling hills, and lewd swell of turgid rivers… Ahem.
Victory is achieved by blowing up and generally killing the enemy. We went to 4000 points, although the upper limit of Wargame is 6000. Each team starts with that many points on the battlefield, divvied up between the players. We did a 2v2, so that's 2000 points each. To win, we have to destroy 4000 points worth of the opponents stuff. It's pretty simple, really. But what it means for the game is that you begin to worry more about staying alive than simply killing stuff. You can't just throw in resources and hope for the best, because if you lose them, you are going down. What's even more important to the mindset of playing this game is that valuable units – such as good command units – must be kept alive at all costs, because their points value is huge. It's something that bypasses some beginners, but is critical to making sensible tactical decisions as you play.
The generals in this bitter conflict are as follows: On the PACT side we have myself and Stalin's Ghost (perhaps appropriately), otherwise known as Greg, a founding member of Hero Squad and jaded Planetside vet. And on the NATO side we have Alethron, or Ben, one time Blood Bowl Divisions of Death Grand Champion, and his stalwart companion Heliosicle, or Louis, who's played some Men of War and thinks it's actually jolly good.
That is a TDS-1 Buritano, and it's hell's wrath strapped to the back of a truck. A truly ridiculous salvo of rockets that can destroy even the most powerful of tanks if they're bunched in the firing solution.
The idea is that we place those horrible trucks into the trees near where we think the fight is going to go down, and once the enemy is in place, we unleash that horrendous firey death on the unsuspecting NATO battle tanks.
And that fight is probably going to take place on Echo. So I'm sending my main force there, while I send a few helicopters full of Vysadkari and Spetznaz infantry down the right flank to hide in the trees at Delta, in the hope that, when they inevitably take it, they can intercept and generally annoy and frustrate any troops they bring in to reinforce there.
So while I'm doing that, Greg shores up the right flank at Golf and Hotel and we just hope that they don't have a similar idea.
Turns out they had a similar idea.
The first problem is that Heliosicle sends a full fleet of gunships and troop helicopters of his own down to Delta, and my guys get completely decimated, with chopper crashes and desperate flight into the trees only to get cut down by Delta Force making the whole thing a sorry show. A brave six Vysadkari survive, though, so at least there's that. Not that six guys is ever going to do much.
The second problem, you see, is on the left flank, where things aren't holding up as intended. I've made it to Echo at a good speed, with my tanks thundering down the roads, churning up tarmac, but just as I arrive I realise that, well, Echo has bugger all for cover. I need trees and hills to hide my tanks in, and all I've got are wide-open fields. It could be fatal to be out in the open like this.
And then Alethron's tanks show up, and his tanks are better than my tanks.
I've got a force full of T-55s (15 points), T-64s (30 points) and a few T-72s (45 points), whereas he's full of MBT-70s (75 points), Abrams (110 points) and more than a little artillery support. While I can get a ratio where I kill one of his tanks for every three he kills of mine and still get more points than him, I just don't have the numbers or the support to do that kind of damage.
So we unleash the Buritano from some nearby trees, in a hope that it might turn the course of the fight. It doesn't quite manage it, but it does make Alethron withdraw, and I'm able to pull my forces back to the safety of a nearby wood, to regroup and resupply – rushing in trucks to get the tanks back online. It's at this point I do a tally and realise that one of the NATO artillery shells managed to blow up my Command Unit, ruining my chances of controlling Delta (you need one to hold a point) and netting them 200 points.
Command Units are Expensive. Losing them is a major problem.
With the failure of my little foray into Delta, NATO forces secure it without any opposition, while I'm forced to retreat further back from Echo once they figure out which wood I'm hiding in and start shelling it with artillery. I'm on the other side of the river now, with just a single bridge to make it across.
At this point they have 2179 points, to our 1088. Which, as you might assume, isn't exactly promising.
With Echo temporarily theirs, and a proper forward operating base in Delta, they start to gather their forces to mount an assault on Hotel. Luckily Greg has a bunch of recon units littering the countryside, and – thanks to their huge spotting range – they give my Malka artillery something to shoot at. It's pretty hilarious watching tanks start to falter and try to run away once a few hundred pounds of explosives fall on their heads. It's working as I'd hoped!
This is one of my favourite things that Wargame does, and it does it so well. It's not out and out action all the time, but instead a series of skirmishes that have very valid options presented that preserve troops and don't lead to the complete destruction of one side or the other. Retreating is always an option, because these control points aren't the be all and end all, as they are in so many other RTS games. It's better to sacrifice a position than a bunch of troops. Not to mention the sheer size of the maps means that there's a lot of room to maneuver in. Making a huge detour to attack from a flank is almost always a possibility, especially when you know that enemy spotters and recon are generally only going to be able to see you in the places where they'll expect you to be. This is an RTS with tanks in, that also has stealth going on.
And yes, we're in a lull, here, where both sides have been bloodied and forced to regroup. The next moves will be crucial. While they have got an offensive to press, they also haven't encountered the body of Greg's forces, and I get the impression they know that. That's why they won't make any sudden moves, for fear of being caught out. But with the gathering front headed to Hotel, that presents Greg with the opportunity to move in on Delta.
While I lick my wounds on the left, Greg makes plays his hand, pushing forward with a mix of troop transports, tanks and the odd Havoc helicopter, just as my artillery finishes laying down some explosive psychological warfare on the NATO tanks. They're retreating, and their retreat is met with the full force of our attacking units.
Retreat is a disaster for the NATO forces, with almost all of that force destroyed. It's a gaping hole in their lines, leaving Greg the opening to push on an almost undefended Delta. Unfortunately they manage to sneak their Saracen Command Unit out and across to Echo, depriving us of a vital 200 points. A critical 200 points. It could be the move that decides the game.
Scores: They have 3475, we have 3028.
With the game this close, losing even a few helicopters and a tank could throw the game for us. Likewise, if we can grab a Command unit we'll close the gap between us, and it'll be everything to play for. This means that everyone starts acting as if they're leading troops while babysitting a six week old, all orders hushed, and every action riddled with anxiety.
So we do the only logical thing: we fire the Buritano in the vague direction of where we think the Command Unit at Delta is. Brilliant Tactical Minds of the 21st Century.
It doesn't work. We don't hit anything at all. But they probably know where our artillery is.
With things as they stand, we've got rivers on every line. That means that land assaults are pretty much out, if only because bottle necking your troops like that is going to lead to a slaughter, and a free victory for the other side. Similarly, it's at that stage of the game where everyone has more than enough AA to deal with any helicopter assaults. Which doesn't necessarily stop the NATO guys trying.
They send around a pair of Chinooks, presumably laden with Delta Force commandos, but Greg has a pair of Havoc helicopters in the region, forcing them to retreat back the way they came. It's a constant game of chicken, trying to get one side or the other to commit to an assault, and allow the defenders to cut them down. That seems to be the only way this was going to end.
At this point we've almost closed the gap on the victory, getting within only 200 points of the final goal, with them at less than 50. That means that if we can somehow get a Command Unit, we win. But if they get almost any unit, they win.
Greg gathers some troop transports, sends them down the right flank in the hope that they haven't defended their home base, because that's sure to have a bunch of juicy artillery and more than enough Command Units (1) to win us the game.
Turns out, however, they just called in a bunch of Leopard Tanks as reinforcements. They're rolling through the fields, guns hot. Caught out in the open, Gregs troops are cut down before they can even hit anything with their rocket launchers. The point ticker ticks over 4000 points, and NATO wins the game.
Wargame: European Escalation is out now.


The meeting of the commission of the feminist movement that called the strike of March 8, 2018 has agreed on a new call for a Womens' Strike for March 8th 2019.
Only Madrid and Extremadura assemblies remain to pronounce pending what their bases decide. At the moment, in what there is consensus is that the next appointment must "overflow the margins of the strike", reaching more women and more spaces. Migrants remember in the debates that new spaces of struggle must be created because in the street they are vulnerable.
Now it is the territorial assemblies that have to work and land the convocation to their places.
Among the proposals, extend the day of struggle to eight days of actions that make visible, inform and train in the work spaces, in schools and on the street.
After the debates, the women gathered in Gijón, Asturias, in this 4th Meeting of the 8M Commission, took to the streets of the city under the slogan 'They hurt us one, they hurt us all'. The meeting continued on Sunday with spaces for debate and thematic analysis.
Todavía restan flecos por acordar, como por ejemplo si será una convocatoria general o solamente para las mujeres. Entre algunas de las propuestas destacadas en este encuentro al que acudieron en torno a 600 participantes, destaca la de ampliar la jornada de huelga a ocho días, generando acciones que visibilicen el movimiento, informa el periódico El Salto.
El próximo encuentro estatal será el 26 y 27 de enero en Valencia. Será un espacio de debate y de construcción de la huelga feminista del 8M.
La huelga descansará sobre cuatro pilares principales, muy similares a los del año pasado. Los ámbitos laboral, estudiantil, de consumo y cuidados serán los ejes clave, que trabajarán con la intención de aumentar en número y en fuerza lo vivido el pasado 8 de marzo, según informa la Cadena Ser.

The Annual Rigmarole. Epw article
The budget has become a meaningless exercise with dicey figures and unkept promises.
Within a week of the presentation of the Union Budget for 2015–16, the fizz that we saw around it, in a gushing media, has gone flat. When the layers of packaging are removed, there is little in the core. There are only incentives and promises to powerful interests, and mirages for the rest. That is how it has been in the age of media hype and Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley's second budget is not very different from the smoke and mirrors that have come over the years to mark the central government's annual financial statement.
An intriguing question is the shape Budget 2015 may have taken if the Bharatiya Janata Party had not been brought to earth when it was routed in the Delhi assembly polls. Would there have been "big bang reforms," whatever that may mean other than a large-scale withdrawal of the state from the public sphere and freedom to employers to hire and dismiss workers as they wish? If, perhaps, there is one philosophy underlying this budget, it is a reaffirmation of the Narendra Modi government's belief that the best driver of growth is the private corporate sector (PCS), with the foreign investor having pride of place; the government and public sector have a role only in the short term. The PCS — both Indian and foreign — had demanded much more from the budget, but enough has been given. If we ignore the irritants of minor increases in indirect taxes and the new 2% surcharge on incomes higher than Rs 1 crore, what we have is the promise to reduce the corporate tax rate from 30% to 25% over four years and a simultaneous reduction in exemptions. This will be implemented from 2016–17 onwards, but is enough to whet appetites because experience shows that exemptions never end. Like with many aspects of the now-abandoned Direct Tax Code, the PCS will be successful in having the rates reduced with a minimal removal of exemptions, and the effective rate may then rest below 25%.
For the foreign investor, there is more. The General Anti-Avoidance Rule (GAAR), meant to prevent tax avoidance, especially in the form of transfers to tax havens, announced in the 2012–13 Budget, stands further postponed. These were pushed forward to 2015 following a huge outcry by foreign companies in 2012, and intensive lobbying has pushed them further ahead to 2017. Other measures for foreign investors include changes in processes and rules which reduce the tax burden and offer more incentives. The Modi government has never made a secret of its desire to woo and please the foreign investor; Budget 2015 goes further in that direction.
If there is one positive feature of Budget 2015, it is the decision to relax the self-imposed constraint on the fiscal deficit and aim for a target of 3.9% of gross domestic product (GDP) in 2015–16 (as against the earlier target of 3.6% of GDP). The finance minister has accepted that corporate India, overleveraged as it is, will not be able to drive investment right now. To make up for the slack, the central plan for 2015–16 is budgeted for a massive 34% jump in outlay (mainly in railways, roads and power). As in the past, the larger contribution (53%) will come from public sector undertakings (PSU) which will draw on their internal resources, and not from the central government. Can the PSUs — targeted for a disinvestment programme in 2015–16 and often operating without chairpersons — oversee such a large investment programme?
A related question: why did the central government take so long to discover the virtue of providing a stimulus? Indeed, in 2014–15 it has done exactly the opposite. Plan expenditure in the current fiscal is expected to end up 18.6% less than budgeted, as sector after sector has been put under the axe. Why? All tax revenues — corporate, personal income, excise, customs and service — have been less than expected. So with the fiscal deficit target of 4.1% of GDP in 2014–15 sacrosanct, the centre has

ATLANTA, June 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Georgia Power, the U.S. Army, the Army Office of Energy Initiatives (OEI), the General Services Administration and the Georgia Public Service Commission (PSC) today marked the start of operations of a new 30 megawatt (MW) solar project at Fort Benning, near Columbus, Georgia. The facility is the first of five on-base military solar projects currently being developed by Georgia Power in coordination with the Army and the Department of the Navy (DON).
Norrie McKenzie, vice president of renewable development for Georgia Power discussing the importance of the solar project to Georgia Power customers at the event.
The 200-plus acre Fort Benning solar site uses nearly 134,000 photovoltaic panels to produce energy for Georgia homes and businesses.
Officials from Georgia Power, the U.S. Army, the Army Office of Energy Initiatives (OEI), the General Services Administration and the Georgia Public Service Commission (PSC) mark the start of operations of the 30 megawatt solar project at Fort Benning.
"Since we first broke ground a year ago, this site has been transformed into a state-of-the-art solar facility that will deliver clean, reliable and affordable energy to our customers for years to come," said Norrie McKenzie, vice president of renewable development for Georgia Power at the event. "We look forward to seeing the rest of our military solar projects come online within the next year, and the positive benefits they will bring not only for our customers, but for the bases and local communities."
Other speakers at the event included Congressman Sanford D. Bishop, Jr.; the Honorable Katherine G. Hammack (Assistant Secretary of the Army for Installations, Energy & Environment); Michael F. McGhee, (Executive Director, Army OEI); Brigadier General Eric J. Wesley, (Army Maneuver Center of Excellence); and Commissioner Stan Wise (Georgia PSC).
Speaking on behalf of the elected members of the Georgia PSC, Commissioner Wise noted the Commission's efforts to bring viable solar projects to Georgia and to encourage solar development while keeping electric rates low for customers. Speakers also noted the importance of the project to Georgia, as well as the extensive collaboration needed between the utility, the Georgia PSC and the Army to complete the project.
Georgia Power built, owns and operates the facility with power delivered to the state's electric grid at or below the company's avoided cost, the amount projected it would cost the company to generate comparable energy from other sources. The solar project at Fort Benning is estimated to represent a $75 million investment at the installation and will enable the Army to meet critical energy and security goals. The 200-plus acre Fort Benning solar site uses nearly 134,000 photovoltaic panels to produce energy for Georgia homes and businesses.
In addition to this project, Georgia Power continues to add solar to its generation portfolio through programs designed to prevent upward pressure on customer rates. In coordination with the Georgia PSC, thousands of new solar panels are being installed across Georgia as part of the Marine Corps Logistics Base Albany and Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay projects with the DON; at Forts Benning, Gordon and Stewart with the Army; and through the competitive Advanced Solar Initiative (ASI). Most recently, Georgia Power proposed 525 MW of new renewable generation by 2019 and new demonstration projects to study wind and solar generation opportunities as part of its 2016 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP), currently under review by the Georgia PSC.
A leader in renewable development, Georgia Power was recently named to the Smart Electric Power Alliance's (SEPA) annual Top 10 Utility Solar list in recognition of solar connections to the state's electric grid in 2015 and was previously named the 2014 Investor-Owned Utility of the Year by the organization.

$15 minimum wage: Calls mount to make Amazon's move the industry standard
By Kate Gibson
Updated on: October 4, 2018 / 1:56 PM / MoneyWatch
Amazon hikes minimum wage to $15 for U.S. workers
Amazon hikes minimum wage to $15 for U.S. workers 01:13
When Walmart said it was raising wages in early 2015, the retailing behemoth may have unwittingly started a trend.
Since then, other big employers have followed suit, and Amazon's decision to hike its minimum pay to $15 an hour starting Nov. 1 may be the tipping point that sets the industry standard going forward, especially if Walmart opts to match Amazon's move.
"We're getting to the place where it becomes a labor-market wide bargaining point," Marshall Steinbaum, research director and fellow at the liberal-leaning Roosevelt Institute, said of the $15 minimum for hourly labor. That notion should also extend beyond the retail or logistics industries involved with Walmart and Amazon, he added.
"Amazon's move is a very big deal," offered Robert Anthony Bruno, a professor at the University of Illinois' school of labor and employment relations. "Labor markets are influenced by the biggest players," added Bruno, who cited General Motors, General Electric and U.S. Steel as companies that moved the wage needle in prior periods.
"Amazon lifts the wage floor -- others will follow," the professor predicted.
Wall Street analysts who follow the retail industry concur with that view.
"Amazon could trigger a round of higher wages across a wide spectrum of retail firms," economists at UBS wrote in a client note.
Deutsche Bank analysts said in a report on Amazon's move: "The implications for the traditional retail industry could be significant, especially given the low unemployment rates as we head into the labor-intensive holiday season, and could force other retailers to potentially pay higher wages."
Less noted in Amazon's wage hike announcement is that the company will no longer give Amazon shares or bonuses to existing warehouse workers. But the fact that Amazon chose $15 an hour reveals it's responding to the political climate more so than economics, said Ben Zipperer, an economist at the liberal Economic Policy Institute.
"We have a tightening labor market, but there really is a resurgence of a workers-rights movement. That's what's driving Amazon to raise to $15 specifically," he told CBS MoneyWatch.
With size allowing them to dominate in the labor markets, employees at corporations like McDonald's, Walmart and Amazon don't always have other options, offered the Roosevelt Institute's Steinbaum. "Workers exerting pressure through activism campaigns can be the sole -- and effective -- source of worker power, since they can't leave for other options that no longer exist," he said.
"We're seeing retail workers, fast-food workers engaged in strikes this week," Zipperer said of ongoing demonstrations by Fight for $15, a coalition of low-income workers that sprung up in 2012 and has since grown into a nationwide organization. It has in part focused on improved pay and working conditions at McDonald's.
Fast-food workers demand $15 minimum wage 01:20
Roughly 20 workers were arrested outside a McDonald's in Detroit on Tuesday, followed by another 23 arrests Wednesday in Milwaukee, where about 100 demonstrators massed in front of a McDonald's, which closed its doors and eventually its drive-through service, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
One vocal proponent of that movement is Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont, who applauded Amazon's wage hike but also called out other "profitable corporations" in the fast-food and retail industries for paying poverty-level wages. He specifically named Walmart.
"It's Walmart's turn to lead," Arianna Smith, a Walmart associate in Barstow, California, said in a statement emailed by the Organization United for Respect, or OUR, a nonprofit alliance of low-income workers. "$15 an hour is the new industry standard -- $11 an hour won't cut it."
Walmart, which hiked its hourly pay and benefits in the face of protests more than three years ago, isn't ready to match Amazon and other employers, including Walt Disney and Target, that have targeted $15 as a minimum hourly rate.
"With more than a million associates in the U.S., we continue to make significant investments in the wages, benefits and training we offer. We also offer competitive wages in the markets that we operate in," Walmart said in an emailed statement. "We consistently review where we stand, taking into account many factors, and we will continue to do so."
Target announced its own plan to get to $15, but it phased in the increases through 2020, the Deutsche Bank analysts noted. They added that Amazon's move could make it harder for Target to hire the 120,000 seasonal workers it had planned on this holiday season.
The National Retail Federation's senior vice president of government relations, David French, responded to Amazon's move by saying in an email that the NRF supports "the individual efforts of companies as they compete for talent in a tight labor market, and we hope a misguided trade war doesn't hinder those efforts."

With the conclusion of the majors for another year, a six week stretch of golf begins in Europe that could prove pivotal for players looking to make the Ryder Cup team next month in Paris.
This week, we head to Sweden for the Nordea Masters at the Hills Golf Club, just south of Gothenburg.
Playing as a par 71 at just over 7,100 yards, the Hills Golf Club is a modern course that incorporates all aspects of golf design. Parkland, marshland and even a little bit of links – this layout seemingly has it all and it will no doubt provide an extremely interesting test for some of the European Tour's finest.
Fresh off a fine stretch of form, Thorbjorn Olesen is on the cusp of automatic Ryder Cup qualification and, as a result, he headlines the field. A win here would surely lock up his spot for Le Golf National.
Perhaps the only other player in this field with the potential of getting a captain's pick is Martin Kaymer, although it would probably take multiple wins for Bjorn to even consider the German who's been really struggling for form.
Marcus Kinhult (40/1, 6 places) has impressed at European Tour level on a number of occasions in recent years, most notably at Le Golf National a few months ago, and he looks a solid bet at the prices.
The young Swede burst onto the scene when still a Challenge Tour player at this tournament three years ago when leading after the halfway stage only to falter over the weekend.
More recently, Kinhult finished fifth at the Open de France and registered another top-five finish at the Qatar Masters earlier in the season. He also flew under the radar when finishing 12th at the BMW PGA Championship in May.
Kinhult has said that he lives very close to Hills Golf Club and, as a result, he probably knows this layout like the back of his hand.

Although wind turbines may seem like the epitome of "green" energy, scientists from Vanderbilt University are working on making them even greener. More specifically, they're looking at a resin that could save energy when turbine blades are being created, and that might make those blades more recyclable.
Currently, the resin that's used in the production of fiberglass turbine blades has to be heated in order to cure, and that requires energy that doesn't necessarily come from green sources. Additionally, once those blades finally wear out, very little of the material that they're made out of can be recycled.
Now, however, a Vanderbilt team led by Prof. Doug Adams is experimenting with a new type of thermoplastic resin known as Elium. Made by industry partner Arkema, it creates its own heat through a chemical reaction, and proceeds to cure without creating flaws in the fiberglass. It's also possible to melt down the resin long after it's cured, allowing the glass fibers to be reclaimed for reuse.
The researchers are now planning on scaling up the process, moving from relatively small samples to full-size blades.

Tee-hee and O Pshaw!
These ladies are guests of Lowell Thomas, who understandably is hiding elsewhere. Once a year Mr. Thomas opens his private golf course in Pawling, N.Y. to a group of golfing clubwomen at a time when "I usually have to be in Africa." The festivities this year were much as usual—the usual number of balls deep in the pond, the usual number of ladies deep in the rough and the usual number of divot holes deep in the greens. But a good time was had by all, including Mr. Thomas, who was not in Africa but playing golf himself—three miles away.
The "Prettiest woman in Pawling," Margaret Johnson, prettily regrets a divot, while Mrs. Clifford Smith (right) seeks a ball in the rough.

Energy companies ask for "clear rules" for VAT reduction
Home » News » Energy companies ask for "clear rules" for VAT reduction
theme image — © BELGA
Febeg, the Federation of Belgian Electricity and Gas Companies, asks that clear rules will be in place in the event of a possible VAT reduction. The demarcation must be clear for the sector of electricity producers and traders and suppliers of electricity and gas. There were uncertainties about the previous VAT reductions at the time.
jvhSource: BELGIAN
The Di Rupo government had already lowered the VAT on energy to 6 percent in 2013, but the Michel government later reversed that. With Van Peteghem's proposal, the measure is once again more explicit through the Wetstraat.
"There must be very clear rules", says Marc Van den Bosch, director-general of Febeg, so that the sector can apply them correctly. "During the previous VAT reduction just under 10 years ago, there were uncertainties about the definition. It was then only for private individuals, but then you get discussions." For example, there was the question of whether the reduction applies to a shopkeeper who lives above his shop, and what about retirement homes where people are domiciled. It must also be clear when a reduction applies. This can be for the consumption in a certain period, or for the invoice that is sent at a given time.
Febeg also charges the same rate for gas and electricity, which can be 6 or 21 percent, but nothing in between because the sector's systems are not equipped for it. For the energy sector, the measure is essentially cost neutral in itself, because the companies pass on the VAT to the state, says Van den Bosch. On the other hand, members indicate that it is already busy because the energy companies are implementing all kinds of changes to the rules, or the reform of the federal contributions to excise taxes.

Deepika Padukone on #MeToo: It is not happening only in the film industry
Deepika Padukone says that #MeToo related questions should also be asked to others apart from actors.
Oct 10, 2019, 12:00 AM (IST)
After Chhapaak, Deepika Padukone will star in Luv Ranjan's next untitled film with Ranbir Kapoor. She recently made news as Luv is accused of sexual misconduct charges in the #MeToo movement.
Speaking about the same Deepika in an interview said "You should ask some cricketers about the #MeToo movement. I don't see that happening. But every actor is asked about the #MeToo movement. It's not something that's happening only in the film industry."
"So, sure, I don't think I'm in any kind of place to say if I would expose myself to a forum. You can ask me whatever question you want, but why subject it only to a film star? As responsible people, should we not have an opinion? All our opinions should matter then, right?" she said further.
While Deepika's casting in Luv Ranjan's film remains unconfirmed, it will be interesting to see who stars opposite Ranbir in the film.
Deepika will also, be seen in Ranveer Singh's 83 based on India's World Cup win of 1983 where she will essay the character of Romi Dev.

Q: How can I store a text file in a stack using fstream #include <iostream>
#include <stack>
#include <fstream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
   stack <fstream> webpages;
   fstream web1;
   fstream web2;
   fstream web3;

   web1.open("web1.txt",fstream::out);
   web2.open("web2.txt",fstream::out);
   web3.open("web3.txt",fstream::out);

   web1.close();

   webpages.push(web1);
   cout << webpages.size() << endl;

   system("pause");
}

When I compile the program I get the following error:

std::basic_fstream>::basic_fstream(const
  std::basic_fstream> &): attempting to
  reference a deleted function

so I assume the way I am doing this is wrong. Is there a way I can store fstream files in a stack?

A: I'm assuming you want to store the text in the files on your stack and not the actual fstream objects? If so, it will be easier to store the content of the files as strings.
#include <iostream>
#include <stack>
#include <fstream>
#include <sstream>

int main()
{
    std::stack <std::string> webpages;
    for(const auto& file : {"web1.txt", "web2.txt", "web3.txt"}) {
        std::fstream page(file);
        std::stringstream ss;
        ss << page.rdbuf();
        webpages.emplace(ss.str());
    }
    std::cout << webpages.size() << "\n"; // will print "3"

    std::cout << "-- pages read --\n";
    for(;!webpages.empty(); webpages.pop()) {
        std::cout << webpages.top() << "\n";
    }
}

Edit: As pointed out, it really looks like you want to open some files for writing, so here's a version for that.
#include <stack>
#include <fstream>

int main()
{
    std::stack<std::fstream> webpages;

    for(const auto& file : {"web1.txt", "web2.txt", "web3.txt"}) {
        webpages.emplace(file, std::fstream::out);
    }

    for(;!webpages.empty(); webpages.pop()) {
        webpages.top() << "some text\n";
    }

    return 0;
}

Kegiatan Agama Baha'i di Indonesia
Bahá'í Faith is banned in most of the countries.
"IT APPEARS THAT AS HARD AS THE BAHA'IS MIGHT HAVE TRIED OVER THE YEARS TO DISMISS WHAT THEY LABEL "CONSPIRACY THEORIES" REGARDING THEIR CONNECTIONS TO THE BRITISH ESTABLISHMENT, MORE AND MORE SUCH THEORIES CONTINUE TO PERSIST- WHILE WITH EACH DAY MORE EVIDENCE EMERGES PROVING THESE THEORIES AS FACT RATHER THAN THEORY".
During the 19th century, Britain had firm control over India; at the same time Russia had been expanding south and east into Central Asia toward India, and a rivalry started between Britain and Russia over territorial and political control in Central Asia. The piece of land that was located between India and Russian holdings, included Persia, was a highly coveted region, where both Russia and Britain worked to gain influence.
Briefly, the situation was –
Support of the United Kingdom during the Constitutional Revolution,
Anglo-Russian convention which solidified boundaries that identified control between Britain and Russia in Persia, Afghanistan, and Tibet,
The occupation of Iranian territory during the First World War by the UK, Russia and the Ottoman Empire, as well as the coup d'état of 1921 which was backed by the British.
In such circumstances the Russian Government, to gain control over central Asia - especially Iran created a false Religion called as Bahaism.
The Bahá'í Faith and the Bahá'ís have had ties to foreign powers, and were agents of Russian imperialism, British colonialism, American expansionism and International Zionism.

Bahá'í teachings promote to be loyal to one's government and not be involved in politics but the fact is exactly contrary to what is preached. Baha'is are always involved in politics and seen with political leaders. They are known to have been involved in espionage activities in each and every country. This is the reason why they are banned in most of the countries. These countries found the followers of Bahá'í Faith, having dual loyalty and of being involved with foreign or hostile powers.
Some of these countries are:
The late PRESIDENT JAMAL ABDUL NASSER BANNED THE BAHA'I FAITH IN EGYPT IN 1960. His government found clear relationship between Baha'i Faith and Zionism. The President decree was as under:
Clause l: All Bahá'í Assemblies and Centers existing in the two regions of the Republic are hereby dissolved, and their activities suspended. Individuals, bodies and institutions are forbidden to engage in any activity, as was conducted by these Assemblies and Centers. The Minister of the Interior will issue the necessary instructions to bring to an end the activities of these Assemblies and Centers.
Clause 2: The properties of the Bahá'í Assemblies and Centers shall be taken over by officials appointed by the Minister of the interior. The Minister shall designate a guardian to be in custody of the funds, documents and papers owned by the said Assemblies
Clause 3: Any infringement of this law is an offence deserving imprisonment of a minimum of Six months, and/or a fine from 100 to 1000 Egyptian pounds.
Clause 4: This Decree shall be published in the Official Gazette, and will be enforced from the Date of publication.
The President of Indonesia in 1960 dissolved Bahai Adminstration and made every Baha'i activity illegal Recently in 2009 Bahá'ís were arrested in Indonesia on Criminal Charges of violating "The Law of Child Protection". The Bahá'ís were prosecuted under the Law of Child Protection 23-2002 trying to convert children of other faith as young as 9 to 10 years.
President Saddam Hussain not only dissolved Baha'i organization in Iraq but issued an order that any Baha'i activity will be met with death sentence. Following the Baathist coup in 1963, the then leaders drastically limited the freedoms previously guaranteed to the Iraqi citizens. The new regime began with attempts to prevent Baha'i activity in Iraq in 1967. This culminated in the decision of the Directorate of Civil Status No. 358 24 / 7 / 1975 that stopped registration of Baha'is in the records of civil status.
In May 1970, the Iraqi Government banned all Baha'i Institutions and Baha'i activities. In mid December 1973, an incident created a stir which engulfed the life of many Baha'is. In a government owned school, many Baha'i girls were secretly propagating the Baha'i Faith to other classmates. The girls reported the matter to the authorities that propagation of an Israeli based Faith is going on in the campus. The matter was reported to the Ministry of education. He ordered the investigation on the following day. The investigation revealed a network of Israeli based organization is behind it. The head Master was dismissed and the girl was arrested together with her three Baha'i classmates Almost fifty people were arrested in the course of next few months. A military court sentenced fourteen of them to life imprisonment, three to fifteen years and nine to ten years in jail. Further severe action was taken against suspected members of this organization involved in conversion and espionage.
The former USSR called Baha'is as Enemy of State. Surprising indeed from a country which nurtured the Faith initially.
In 1937, "NKVD" (People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs) outlawed about 40 Bahá'í communities existing at that time in USSR. From the 13th of October, all the members of the Bahá'í Spiritual Assembly of Baku and dozens of community members were arrested. All of them were punished for their illegal and anti State activities
The chairman of the Spiritual Assembly, Faraj Jaffargulu Gasimov (the nephew of the first Bahá'í from Salyan, Hadim Javad) and his wife, Fizza Muradova were imprisoned. The "NKVD" people called him "national enemy". Many were imprisoned and a few Baha'is were exiled to Siberia.
In October 1938 the building of the Bahá'í center was confiscated in Baku. Now there is a kindergarten in this building.
In November 1982, KGB started arresting the Bahá'ís. S.D. Asadova, I.F. Gasimov and I.G. Ayyubov were arrested. All their meetings were declared illegal and every Baha'i activity forbidden. Even the greetings on the phone "Allah'u'Abha" were forbidden.
The UAR Government called Baha'is as "state within the state".
In 1937 Heinrich Himmler signed an order disbanding the Bahá'í institutions in Germany. In 1939 and in 1942 there were sweeping arrests of former members of the National Spiritual Assembly of Baha'is of Germany. In May 1944 there was a public trial in Darmstadt. The Bahá'ís were heavily fined and it's institutions continued to be disbanded.
Following the fall of Nazi Germany, and with American and British control of Germany, an American Bahá'í, John C. Eichenauer (a medic of the 100th Infantry division then at Geislingen) started searching for the Bahá'í community in Stuttgart. He drove through Stuttgart looking and asking for Bahá'ís and was able to find an individual. The next day saw the first meeting of Bahá'ís since their disbandment in 1937.
Two other American Bahá'ís, Bruce Davison and Henry Jarvis, in Frankfurt and Heidelberg respectively, also connected with the Bahá'í community in Germany. At the beginning of the partition of Germany there were about 150 German Bahá'ís in the American section and they became registered with the American authorities. The National Spiritual Assembly was re-elected in 1946. Needless to say, US was involved in establishment of Bahaism in post-war Germany. John C. Eichenauer, Bruce Davison and Henry Jarvis were established US secret agents.
The Iranian Authorities always believed that Baha'is are the face of Israel in Iran. It is a well known fact that the Bahai Administration has issued statements for the Baha'is of Iran to go and teach the Iranians and face whatsoever consequences came. One should ask the Baha'is "where is the obedience to government" principle of the religion in this case?
Bahá'ís held many prominent positions in Iran during the Shah regime. In the government of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, half of the Shah's cabinet were Bahá'ís.
Shah's personal physician, Abd al-Karim Ayadi was a Baha'i. Amongst other Bahá'í who held position in the Shah regime was Asadullah Sanii. The then Minister of Defence, Parviz Sabeti, was raised in a Bahá'í family. The Prime Minister Amir-Abbas Hoveida was a Bahá'í. The Baha'is agree that Hoveida's father was a Baha'i but say that Hoveida himself was not religious. Other Bahá'ís included Mahnaz Afkhami, who was the Minister for Women's Affairs and the daughter of a Bahá'í mother and Farrokhroo Parsa, another cabinet member .
More recently the Baha'is are being under strict surveillance in CIS countries like AZERBAIJAN, UZBEKISTAN, TAJAKISTAN etc. In fact Baha'is are being deported from Uzbekistan for secretly converting children under 15 years.
(Refer http://uzbekbahai.blogspot.com)
The 2009 Religion Law, passed under former President Kurmanbek Bakiev was aimed at curtailing the Baha'i Activities. It stated "If a community has "administrative centres located beyond Kyrgyzstan or having foreign citizens in its administrative body" it is classified as a "mission". This community must re-register every year and does not have legal status. It's registration can be refused if it posses "a threat to the state and social security, the inter-ethnic and ecumenical concord, health and morality of the population, or in other cases anticipated by legislation."
The Baha'i Faith is banned in Yemen since 2008. Many Baha'is were deported because of their conversion activities. Last year in Yemen four Baha'is were arrested by the Interior ministry for secretly propagating their religion. The three Baha'is of Iranian origin, Zia'u'llah Pourahmari, Keyvan Qadari, and Behrooz Rohani, were arrested in Sana'a, on the night of June 20, 2008. A fourth Baha'i, Sayfi Ibrahim Sayfi, was also arrested around the same time and was deported to Iraq.
According to the source close to the group, the men were arrested and taken to the national security headquarters' prison where they spent 40 days – most of the time in isolated cells – before being sent to Sana'a General Investigation Department.
Countries like SAUDI ARABIA, OMAN, JORDAN, MOROCCO also see Baha'is as hands of Zionists.
The Bahá'í Faith was banned in the 1970s in several countries like:
BURUND in 1974;
MALI in 1976;
UGANDA in 1977;
CONGO in 1978;
NIGER in 1978.
The world's largest democracy India with all its secular credentials has come out with "Anti conversion law" in its 11 states so as to prevent this very secret sect from deceptive propagation. The law states:
Prohibition of forcible or deceptive conversion
No person shall convert or attempt to convert, either directly or otherwise, any person from one religious faith to any other religious faith by the use of force or by inducement or by any FRAUDULENT means nor shall any person abet any such conversion.
Converting Hindus in India just outside a Hindu Temple
Punishment for contravention of the provisions of Section 3
Any person contravening the provisions contained in section 3 shall, without prejudice to any civil liability, be punishable with Imprisonment to the extent of two years and fine up to ten thousand rupees.
According to a report published in India's leading Newspaper, The Hindustan Times in July 2006, as per a complaint filed in city court - the members of National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of India were accused by their colleagues of using impersonations and forgery to clandestinely penetrate into prohibited defense establishment of the country and get hold of classified documents and supplied them to Israeli and Iranian spying agencies.
PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA AND NORTH KOREA
The Bahá'í Faith is not recognized in the People's Republic of China and North Korea and so there is no organized Bahá'í activity.
Even in countries such as Japan and South Korea, where there is religious freedom, the position of the Bahá'í Faith resembles that of Western Europe where Baha'is are only on paper.
In Morocco in 1962-1963, 15 Bahá'ís were arrested for their religious convictions; three were given death sentences and several others years of prison term at hard labor. There were months of diplomatic efforts which bore no results.
On March 31, 1963 during a visit to the United States and the United Nations, King Hasan of Morocco was interviewed on television. He addressed the audience saying that "Though the Bahá'í Faith was against good order and morals" that he would still pardon the death sentences. It is evident that he succumbed to the US pressure.
Arrest of Baha'is occurred again in 1984, due to their secret teaching activities and sending confidential reports to Israel. Bahá'ís have more recently been denied passports and can practice their religion only in private.
Last but not the least... strange indeed - Baha'is are not supposed to teach in Israel. There is a total ban. The matter is very mysterious that although Israel supports Baha'is in all aspects, yet why the State of Israel does not permit the Baha'is to propagate the Bahai Faith.
Baha'is are not allowed to teach in Israel for "unknown reasons"
Quote : Whenever an Israeli citizen living in the West, irrespective of his background and religious affiliation, declares his belief and interest in becoming a member of the Bahá'í community ,he should be informed that the Faith is not taught in Israel and that there is no Bahá'í community there apart from those who are associated with the Bahá'í World Center. He cannot be accepted into the Bahá'í community if he is planning to return to Israel to reside there. If he plans to continue to reside outside Israel, his enrollment can be accepted, but he will then be subject to the same restrictions about travel to Israel as any other Bahá'í, in that he could do so only with the express permission of the Universal House of Justice.In any event, the Universal House of Justice should be informed of any such declaration.
(Letter from the Universal House of Justice, dated October 20, 1994, to several National Spiritual Assemblies)
This is why, should Jews wish to become Bahá'í even now, they need to leave Israel first.
WITH SUCH SUSPECT BACKGROUND, IS THERE A DOUBT ABOUT THE INTENT OF THIS FAITH???
