Discussion in 'UK7 Ye Olde Tavern' started by tomas torquemada, Jun 4, 2011.
Just thought I would trial an idea on Famous Military commanders, what we thought of them; what they were good at and what in the way let them down. There are a lot to pick from both from ancient history to modern times.
Leader from ancient history (aka Cartha) who made a blood oath to his farther to take out the Romans (when the roman empire was in its infancy). As a commander on the battlefield he was a great military strategist (some consider one of the greatest) and to some degree knew how to defeat armies my deviding them and using their weaknesses against them, however, as an overall leader, he lacked vision and any real in-depth grasp of strategy when it comes to conquest and associated diplomacy. As an individual he was also a barbaric sadist who cared nothing for his troops, only in his own glory; this was bore out when he drove his troops and elephants across the alps (in winter !!!) costing him half his army before he had his first real fight. In the end he lost because he failed to realise that even though he destroyed a roman army in Cannae (some consider his greatest victory) the romans had enough man power to lose these many troops many times and strill field an anrmy against him. Many still see him as one of the greatest strategists since his tactics in battlefiedl warfare were adopted by the Romans to defeat him.
Some problems with this summary, firstly Hannibal was never in command of Carthage at this time rather he was the military commander, it is well known that he never received the reinforcements which he requested, in fact many rate him far higher for the fact that he used the same army over his many years campaigning in enemy territory with very little help from his government at home whilst the Romans were able to field many fresh armies against him, and Hannibal defeated them every time. The only time he was sent reinforcements the Carthaginian army sent to reinforce was defeated whilst attemting to cross from Spain. Shortly after Scipio crossed over to Africa with an army forcing Carthage to recall their only capable general to defend the homeland. Due to Roman naval superiority by this point however Hannibal was forced to leave his army in Italy. The force that Scipio defeated was largely unblooded and not the troops Hannibal had commanded for so many years.
Furthermore on the diplomacy point Hannibal was very successful in turning Rome's client cities to the Carthaginian banner, this was the only way he could keep his army suppied reinforced and paid whilst in Italy, unfortunately for Hannibal he never had the strength to besiege Rome and could not have his army everywhere in Italy at once so the Romans were able to presserize those cities which had switched allegiance back into the Roman fold.
Though you also label him a sadist it was this very maneuver crossing the Alps at that time when no one could ever believe it was possible which allowed him to catch the Romans completely unaware at Ticinus and deprived them of their Gallic client tribes on the Po - troops which Hannibla later used to great effect at Trebia and Cannae - a battle which is still taught today at West Point as an example of a perfect envelopment of an enemy army leading to their complete destruction as a fighting force.
Mark Anthony (aka Markus Anthonius) - most will know this from the poor depiction in the Cleopatra movie. Again much like Hannibal he was great on the battlefield, but again was a very poor strategist / diplomat overall. When the empire was broken up he took the largest area of land and let Octavian take the area that included Rome. Octavian being a much better diplomat / strategist knew the key to ruling the empire was Rome. In the great battle that took place on the sea at Actium and then on land at Alexandria Mark Anthony went against Octavian with troops that were inexperienced part time soldiers with little discipline, they also had language and command difficulties and Octavian had an experienced roman army behind him defeated him easily.
Sun Tzu - another ancient military commander and I picked this one because here is one of the few who possessed both battlefield skills and exceptional military strategy and diplomacy in knowing how to lead a campaign and win wars with minimal effort. Little is really known about him but most agree he was a genius in military strategy.
Sun Tzu is generally believed by scholars to be a fictional character his works being more a reprisotary of military and strategic knowledge complied from a variety of sources - there is no evidence supoporting the existence of a military commander of this in name in China at that time. Though the text cleary contributed to contemporary Chinese military tactics for some time and later informed generals like Napoleon.
Some may see my depiction of some of these leaders Harsh but I am comparing them against their peers.
Don't know if this thread will work but worth a shot.
I think you are all missing one very important person..
In my opinion, the best there ever was, and ever will be.
mondaeo just needed a hug.
Alexander the Great - my all time favourite, I could tell stories about him an entire day long. Very interesting is his his campaign against king Porus in India.
Most of you will know Leonidas, the brave king of Sparta who defeated the Persian army among king Xerxes I. at the battle of Thermophylae 480 BC. But most of you might not know Themistocles, the Athenian citizen from humble homes. Thanks to the ancient Greek gods Athens established democracy by that time so this man was able to reach political power to be able to plan and execute the defence plan against the Persian Invasion in 480 BC. Without Themistocles, Thermophylae would never have been fought out. And without Themistocles, the brave leader of the naval forces of the Greeks at the naval battle at Artemision 480 BC, the Persians would have attacked Leonidas from the seaside as well which would have led into total defeat of the Greeks.
Besides them, Pericles and Miltiades deserve being mentioned with them in one breath as well. Pericles's been the supreme politician of Athens, war leader during the first stage of the Peloponnesian War and diplomatic agent at a time, pushing forward Athens' hegemony inside the Delian League. Miltiades managed to defeat the Persians at Marathon in 490 BC as they tried to vanquish and completely destroy Athens the first time.
Gaius Iulius Caesar - shame you forgot that remarkable roman war general in your initial post.
Carolingian dynasty brought up a couple of great commanders, too. Starting up with Charles Martel who chased away the The Arabians/Moors in the battle between the french villages Tours and Poiters in 732. Second one we must not forget of is Charles the Great, of course. Timeless is his glory, priceless the success he achieved and incontrovertible is his influence on the creation of Europe.
Not that successfull in battle, though a remarkable charakter to me is Marcus Licinius Crassus, one member of the first triumvirate besides Gaius Julius Caesar and Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus (as well known as Pompey the Great- another awesome war general with success in Iberia (Spain), then vanished to Greece in fear of his own life before he has been killed by Julius Caesar at ).
Marcus Crassus stopped the mutiny of Spartacus 71 BC and was known to be the richest man in Rome (which can be seen as the richest man of the world by that time, Caesar has been plunged in debt due to his political engagement, despite the haul he gained from exploiting Gaul). Crassus set up an army by himself to politically catch up with Caesar and started a campaign against Parthia in Mideast (formerly Persian Empire) and has been totally reamed by their mounted archers and heavy cavalry (which are called 'Cataphracts') at the Battle of Carrhae 53 BC.
Besides Gaius Marius (inventor of the most effective Roman War Technique on the base of cohort system, vanquisher over the Gauls at the Battle of Aquae Sextiae 102 BC), Flavius Aetius, the man who succeeded in appeasing Attila the Hun politically, then attempted to banish Attila militarily off Gaul for a while until Flavius has been stabbed due to his own emperor's command in 455 AD. I'm sure I forgot the one or the other roman war commander, these are just the ones who came up to my mind right now. Oh, and Constantin I., the Great, who initialized Christianity starting its successful way in Europe, as well as his tremendous victory in Battle of the Milvian Bridge 312 in which 'sign he conquered' (in hoc signo vinces).
William I. The Normans often tried to conquer England completely, but never succeeded everlasting. William the Conqueror finally did. His opponent Harold Godwinson, who allegedly has stolen the throne of England off William, has been debilitated in a battle against at Stamford Bridge in September 1066. This was Williams chance to head for the throne. While Harald Hardrada (Harald Sigurdsson), king of Norway, attacked Harold in the north of at Stamford Bridge, William shipped his army through the channel to Pevensey, East Sussex. Both emperors met at Hastings on 14th October 1066, the following horrific, for this period quite long lasting, battle finally ended the war between William and Harold, last one has been killed on the battle field by a bow arrow that has hit his eye. William has been crowned to the king of England that same year.
Richard I., The Lionheart- Check out the battle at Arsuf- keen strategy by an even keener general who always kept his patience in that desperate situation. His main target in this campaign, the capture of Jerusalem, has never been achieved, though.
Ṣalāḥ ad-Dīn Yūsuf ibn Ayyūb - we Europeans know that genious general under the name of Saladin- another war lord who deserves being mentioned in a range with Alexander, Caesar and Napoleon I.
He fixed political instability, survived plenty of assassination attempts and took Jerusalem off the hands of the Europeans during the 2nd crusade among dozens of other military successes. Bloody calculation at the Battle of Hattin in 1187 - a master piece of medieval warfare, the Christs have reached their peak of influence in the Holy Land and went down from then on.
Let's catch up with Henry V. and his remarkable victory at Agincourt in 1415. Studied that battle plenty of times, this one is worth spending your time on. Besides Henry V., medieval England brought up dozens of great warlords.
Thirty-Years War (1618-1648) brought up lots of brilliant military leaders as well, such as Johann Tserclaes, Count of Tilly, Gustav II Adolf, king of Sweden and Albrecht Wenzel Eusebius von Wallenstein just to mention a few out of a huge range of leaders. A though time for the farmers. 1/3 of the population of Europe has been extermined in about 55 years of environmental catastrophes and 30 years of warfare.
Ever heard of Frederick II., King of the enlighted Prussia? You'll definitely know him as Frederick the Great, member of the House of the Hohenzollern, opponent of Maria Theresa, female ruler of Habsburg dominions. As I'm Austrian, I could tell stories and anecdotes about this noble dynasty which led big areas in Europe and America for more than 600 years an entire night long. Frederick's been a genius on the battle field. Look up the battles at Hohenfriedberg, Rossbach, and Leuthen. His father initiated the building of the most powerful army by that period, his son Frederick finished the job and managed to capture huge areas during his tough military reign.
Field Marshal Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington - the man who defeated Napoleon Bonaparte in the Battle of Waterloo in 1815 which led into banishment of Napoleon to St. Helena, the place he died due to cancer in 1821. The Prussian war general Blucher helped out Sir Arthur Wellesley to defeat the French army at Waterloo, he nearly arrived at the 'hot zone' too late, though.
Robert Edward Lee (Confederacy), Hiram Ulysses (S.) Grant (United States (Union), George B. McClellan (United States (Union) and George G. Meade (United States (Union)the most successful war generals during the War of Secession in America. Gettysburg in 1863 determined the winner of the war, as Edward E. Lee was no longer following the rules of The Art of War by Sun Tzu (in the first place he has success fighting on Union's floor, but at Gettysburg he gave command to attack from the bottom fighting up to the top of Cemetery Ridge instead of forcing the Union army to leave their impregnable position to safe their capital Washington D.C.).
Manfred Albrecht Freiherr von Richthofen - no comment, everybody shall know the Red Baron. His top maxim was 'Never attack an enemy if you can't win'. He died at the age of 25, few months before the end of the war, though achieved being the most successful fighter pilot in WW I, leader of JaSta 11 (JaSta, short for 'Jagdstaffel', which means fighter squadron).
As we all should agree in Hitler can not be seriously called a military general at all, some of his generals truly deserve at least a bit of tribute. SS- army corps, which were under Heinrich Himmler's command, can be accounted to the brutal genocide, though they haven't done these indictable offences by their own. The German's main army, the 'Wehrmacht', had done their part to these crimes as well. Nevertheless, the Wehrmacht has fought brilliant battles, mostly the Germans have been outnumbered, especially at the Eastern Front and during the campaign in Africa.
In my opinion, the most brilliant German war generals have been Erwin J. Eugen Rommel, Erich von Manstein, Heinz Wilhelm Guderian (read his book, very interesting!) and Walther Model (known for his talent for defensive battles). Although they still are known as brave and keen commanders, always using their brain first instead of willingly executing the (often senseless) commands by Hitler, they still were involved in the genocide and crime the Germans had done during WW II.
Gregory Zhukov of the Red Army also led the campaign against the invading Japanese in Mongolia in 1930, thereby showing such skill and genius that the Japanese generals were genuinely convinced that all the Russian commanders must have been this great. probably one of the reasons they decided against an invasion of the USSR in 1942, which allowed Stalin to throw the 40-odd batallions he kept in reserve into the warzones at the western front.
While Adolph Hitler did service during the Great War (aka WW1) he never rose above the rank of corporal, and hence never gained any experience with military command. In fact, as the war went into its later staged he became more and more delusional, overestimating his own capabilities and the military strenght and position of the Axis forces. He was also unpredictable, which helped at first, but later only hastened his demise.
Personally, his greatest strategic mistakes/most insane actions were these: Dunkirk 1940, where about 300.000 British and French soldiers were in a total rout and waiting for evacuation to England. the Germans were initially slowed down at Lille by the French, but broke through and encircled Dunkirk, and as most of the ships hadn't arrived yet the British and French were practically at their mercy. Then for some reason High Command gave a total halt order approved by Hitler. This lasted for three days, allowing the British and French to evacuate their entire force. They rightfully considered it a miracle from the heavens.
This can be excused: first of all, the Germans overran France so fast it even took themselves by suprise; supply chains and supporting forces simply had to catch up first with the frontline units. High Command also thought (mistakenly) that the terrain was swampy and generally very bad for an direct assault: an overhasty attack could be disastrous. Hitler himself had seen entire armored divisions get stuck around that area 25 years before, and probably didnt want to risk that. Lastly, it is speculated that Hitler wanted them to escape, since he had no interest in their destruction: he wanted France out of the way to (ironically) prevent a two-front war after their declaration of war, and England could keep their islands; he was content to rule the mainland, with an alliance with the British empire (which was quite large at the time). also, they were sort of family, also of the Arian race. In short: they were not his enemies, the Russians were, so letting them get away and then signing peace was actually the preferred option for him, and most of High Command as well.
However, the British ended up rejecting peace, in large part due to Churchill, as most of their government wanted peace, not war. Despite Dunkirks evacuation, they had lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers and all their equipment on the continent (and that was a lot), and the mighty France had just been casually overrun by an enemy they outnumbered 2 to 1. Churchill pressured them until they (barely) rejected Germanies peace offer. However, had their forces been destroyed they would have instantly surrendered, Germany would have been able to focus on the eastern front entirely.
the second mistake was the grand invasion of Russia.
just to accept that the Germans had betrayed him, and many troops were stuck in the east, safeguarding russia against a potential invasion from Japan (see above, they tried it before). this, and the general shoddiness of the Red Army, allowed the germans to push all the way to Moscow, conquering an area the size of eastern europe from one of the worlds superpowers. after they were halted, the Russians had gotten their war machine up to speed and got reinforced by the eastern forces, and started to slowly drive the Germans back, littering the way with their bodies, and eventually destroyed the entire Sixth army.
Now, the mistake, aside from attacking a nation twenty times your size, is that Hitler failed to realize how stubborn the Russians would fight, and how many sacrifices they were willing to make (20 million Russians, 15% of their population died in that war). he also send his army out with hardly any preparation for the Russian landscape: they were completely unprepared for the Russian winter, whereas the Russians themselves had entire battalions specializing in fighting in heavy snowstorms. as a result, the Germans froze to death as often as that they were killed in battle.
his third and most incomprehensible mistake was the declaration of war against the USA. that was also all it was: a declaration of war.
first of all, from a strategic point of view the USA was somewhat like the UK tenfold. The Germans did not have any specialized landing ships or gear, they didnt have a fleet of heavy bombers, or any long-range aircraft for that matter, and both their navy, the Kriegsmarine, and their airforce, the Luftwaffe, had been beaten by the British. so while they were still at war with the British, whom they could not defeat, and had just launched a massive invasion of the largest country in the whole world, Hitler declared war on another powerful nation, which, even if he got past the Royal navy and Airforce, Germany could'nt even reach, let alone force them into surrendering. The USA could simply ignore Germany altogether and wouldn't be off any worse. But the USA president now had an excuse in the congress, which had been mostly passive towards Europe, to start an active war against Germany, leading to their invasions in France and Italy, which diverted hard-needed troops from the giant Russian army that was steamrolling towards the German homelands. it also ensured a US/UK presence after the war. if they hadn't invaded, the Russian would have simply kept on going until they hit the Atlantic and Mediterranian sea, and all of Europa would likely have come under Russia's influence. just try imagining how the past 70 years would be like then.
All because Hitler had a bout of madness and declared a war he could not even win.
Khalid Ibn Walid was a companion of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. He is noted for his military tactics and prowess, commanding the forces of Medina under Muhammad and the forces of his immediate successors of the Rashidun Caliphate; Abu Bakr and Umar ibn Khattab. It was under his military leadership that Arabia, for the first time in history, was united under a single political entity, the Caliphate. He was victorious in over a hundred battles, against the forces of the Byzantine-Roman Empire, Sassanid-Persian Empire, and their allies, in addition to other Arab tribes. His strategic achievements include the conquest of Arabia, Persian Mesopotamia and Roman Syria within several years from 632 to 636. He is also remembered for his decisive victories at Yamamah, Ullais, and Firaz, and his tactical successes at Walaja and Yarmouk.
He is regarded as one of the finest military commanders in history.
Much of Khalid's strategical and tactical genius lies in his use of extreme methods. He apparently put more emphasis on annihilating enemy troops, rather then achieving victory by simply defeating them. For instance his employment of the double envelopment maneuver against the numerically superior Persian army at the Battle of Walaja, and his brilliant maneuver at the Battle of Yarmouk where he virtually trapped the Byzantine army between three steep ravines by stealthily capturing their only escape route, a bridge, at their rear.
Khalid utilized his better understanding of terrain in every possible way to gain strategic superiority over his enemies. During his Persian campaigns, he initially never entered deep into Persian territory and always kept the Arabian desert at his rear, allowing his forces to retreat there in case of a defeat. It was only after all the strong Persian and their allied forces were routed, that he penetrated deep into Euphrates region and captured the regional capital of Iraq, Al-Hira. Again, at Yarmouk, the terrain would help him in executing his grand strategy of annihilating the Byzantines.
Khalid's elite light cavalry, the Mobile guard, acted as the core of the Muslim cavalry during the invasion of Syria. It was composed of highly trained and seasoned soldiers, the majority of whom had been under Khalid's standard during his Arabian and Persian campaigns. Muslim cavalry was a light cavalry force armed with 5 meter long lances. They could charge at an incredible speed and would usually employ a common tactic of Kar wa far literary meaning "engage-disengage". They would charge on enemy flanks and rear, their maneuverability making them very effective against heavily armored Byzantine and Sassanid cataphracts. Khalid's famous flanking charge on the final day of the Battle of Yarmouk stands as testimony to just how well he understood the potentials and strengths of his mounted troops.
"The earth destroys its fools, but the intelligent destroy the earth."
"When I am in the battlefield, I love it more then when I am in my house."
" am the noble warrior, I aDo you see a space of the span of a hand on my leg, chest, arm which is not covered by some scar of the wound of a sword or an arrow or a lance ?m the Sword of Allah, I am Khalid bin Al Waleed."
Wait a while; there will come to you mounts, carrying lions in shining armor, battalions followed by battalions."
"And here I am, dying in my bed, like cattle die. May the eyes of cowards never sleep."

ON THE GROUND IN ALASKA
Photo credit: USFS
Whether it's exploring the wildest places left in North America or safeguarding the time-honored tradition of gathering food from the land, we advocate for the Alaskan traditions and cultures that are today sustained by public lands and waters in the state. Understanding this tie between people and Alaska's public lands helps us protect both for present and future generations.
Alaska Wilderness League's staff in Anchorage, Alaska bridges the gap between Alaskans and elected officials making decisions about our state in Washington D.C. We do this by keeping state residents up to date about threats and opportunities to engage in critical decisions about Alaska's lands and waters that will affect them personally.
Across Alaska's Arctic, we seek long lasting protections for land, air, and water that can sustain the region's wildlife and subsistence way of life. In the Chugach National Forest, we seek protections that provide for the continued enjoyment of one of Alaska's most accessible wild places, while also sustaining the economy and cultures in the region. And in the Tongass National Forest, we support protections for the best wild salmon and wildlife habitat and sustainable economic opportunities, while seeking an end to the destructive, industrial scale old-growth logging that threatens the ecological integrity of the region and opportunities for its people.
Read more about our efforts and explorations below, and for more information, email State Director Andy Moderow at andy@alaskawild.org.

Sri Lanka challenges world denunciation of Holocaust: Kofi Annan
[TamilNet, Friday, 18 June 2010, 15:13 GMT]
The cry of "never again," raised by so many in the years after the end of the Holocaust 1945, has rung increasingly hollow with the passing decades, Kofi Annan, former secretary general of the United Nations, protested in an op-ed Friday in the International Herald Tribune. "The Holocaust remains unique … but instances of genocide and large-scale brutality have continued to multiply — from Cambodia to the Congo, from Bosnia to Rwanda, from Sri Lanka to Sudan," he said. "It is surprisingly hard to find education programs that have clearly succeeded in linking the history of the Holocaust with the prevention of ethnic conflict and genocide in today's world."
Mr. Annan is honorary president of the advisory board for the Holocaust Education and Genocide Prevention Program at the Salzburg Global Seminar
The full text of his op-ed, titled "Myth of 'never again'", follows:
Many countries in Europe and North America now require all high-school pupils to learn about the Holocaust. Why? Because of its historical importance, of course, but also because, in our increasingly diverse and globalized world, educators and policy-makers believe Holocaust education is a vital mechanism for teaching students to value democracy and human rights, and encouraging them to oppose racism and promote tolerance in their own societies.
That was certainly my assumption in 2005 when, as U.N. secretary general, I urged the General Assembly to pass a resolution on Holocaust Remembrance, which included a call for "measures to mobilize civil society for Holocaust remembrance and education, in order to help to prevent future acts of genocide."
Indeed it might seem almost self-evident that Holocaust education would have that purpose, and that effect. Yet it is surprisingly hard to find education programs that have clearly succeeded in linking the history of the Holocaust with the prevention of ethnic conflict and genocide in today's world.
Of course, prevention is always difficult to prove. But the least one can say is that the cry of "never again," raised by so many in the years after 1945, has rung increasingly hollow with the passing decades. The Holocaust remains unique in its combination of sophisticated technical and organizational means with the most ruthlessly vicious of ends, but instances of genocide and large-scale brutality have continued to multiply — from Cambodia to the Congo, from Bosnia to Rwanda, from Sri Lanka to Sudan.
Few countries at present, even among those that require their teachers to teach the Holocaust, give them any specific training or guidance on how to do so. And few teachers in any country have the knowledge or skills to teach the Holocaust in a way that would enable today's adolescents, who often represent within a single classroom a wide variety of ethnic and cultural backgrounds, to relate it to the tensions they encounter in their own lives. More and better teacher training is surely needed.
But do we know what the content of that training should be?
If our goal in teaching students about the Holocaust is to make them think harder about civic responsibility, human rights and the dangers of racism, then presumably we need to connect the Holocaust with other instances of genocide, and with ethnic conflicts or tensions in our own time and place. That would enable students not only to learn about the Holocaust, but also to learn important lessons from it.
The time has surely come to ask some hard questions about "traditional" Holocaust education, and perhaps to rethink some of the assumptions on which it has been based. Are programs focusing on the Nazi system and ideology, and particularly on the horrendous experience of their millions of victims, an effective response to, or prophylactic against, the challenges we face today?
It is easy to identify with the victims. But if we want to prevent future genocides, is it not equally important to understand the psychology of the perpetrators and bystanders — to comprehend what it is that leads large numbers of people, often "normal" and decent in the company of their own family and friends, to suppress their natural human empathy with people belonging to other groups and to join in, or stand by and witness, their systematic extermination? Do we not need to focus more on the social and psychological factors that lead to these acts of brutality and indifference, so that we know the warning signs to look out for in ourselves and our societies?
Do current education programs do enough to reveal the dangers inherent in racial or religious stereotypes and prejudices, and to inoculate students against them? Does the teaching of the history of the Holocaust at classroom level sufficiently link it to the root causes of contemporary racism or ethnic conflict? And shouldn't the Holocaust be studied not only in Europe, North America and Israel but throughout the world, alongside other tragic instances of human barbarism?
Such questions will be at the heart of a conference this month at the Salzburg Global Seminar, in Austria, on "The Global Prevention of Genocide: Learning from the Holocaust," held in cooperation with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. Organizers hope this will lead to an annual program for teachers from around the world.
This is certainly not a problem with a "one size fits all" solution. Teaching the Holocaust to a class in Ukraine is obviously different from teaching it in Israel, and indeed is likely to vary widely even between different districts of a European city. But insights and examples can surely be shared with advantage, and it seems fitting that Austria — which provided both victims and perpetrators of Nazi atrocities in abundance — should be hosting such a program.

What do you do if you receive a request for information from a congressional committee?
Andrew Olmem
Quick Insights on Congressional Investigations is a video interview series hosted by Mayer Brown partners Michael Levy and Andrew Olmem, who on a weekly basis unpack the nuanced complexities underlying congressional investigations and provide guidance on how companies can manage and minimize the impacts. Each episode is short and tackles one question relating to congressional investigations.
In this episode, Michael and Andrew outline next steps for a company or individual that has received a request for information from a congressional committee, emphasizing important strategic considerations and common pitfalls in early-stage interactions with committee staff members. Whenever a congressional request is received, a fundamental first question to weigh is whether it is an investigation or a typical legislative interaction. If you missed our episode exploring this question in further detail, you can view it here: How do you know if you are the subject of a congressional investigation?

Dead Man Out
Dead Man Out – directed by Richard Pearce. HBO Drama. 87 minutes Black And White 1988.
The Story: A psychiatrist, tasked with restoring a death-row inmate to legal sanity, finds himself entangled with the soul of the man he treats.
Where has Rubèn Blades been all my life?
I assumed an actor this dangerously brilliant must be dead, but I see he has a going career in television series, and I am glad for him and all his kin. I had read his name but assumed it was Spanish and pronounced Bladès. He is Panamanian by extraction, but his last name is English, Blades. As you already probably know.
This praise for him must be couched in another praise, which is that his performance takes place in a very great TV play. Great in the sense that The Ajax is great, or that Coriolanus is great or The Outcast Of The Islands. Which is to say that it deals with a human dilemma so massive it steals the power of conception from the viewer. No solution can be imagined for it for either protagonist.
Blades is a crazy-behaving prisoner, and he must be treated back to normalcy. Danny Glover is his treater. Glover is a lovely actor all his life and perfectly suited to the part because of his big open features behind which anything might be felt. Glover is 42 when he does this, which is just at that perfect age before middle-age, when the inner life is only partly settled. As he persists with the treatment, it is borne in on him that the man he is treating is far more intelligent than he is, far more daring, more eloquent, with far more at stake.
As that man, Blades is 41, and so he must be, for the character is ripe in the ways of the world and of prison. Blades plays him full out. Nothing is omitted and because nothing is omitted we credit him with full humanity, full intelligence, full ability to perceive and know and speak. You root for Blades' character at his worst and best. He is humanity as seldom revealed, so you have no option but to invest. Blades gives him all you ever knew about life.
The film exists on VHS, where I saw it, but also on DVD, neither expensive. Every collection of great film acting must contain it.
You deserve the best
Find it.
See it.

The Devil's Own
The Devil's Own — Directed by Alan J. Pakula. Thriller. A young man on a revenge mission boards with the family of a cop, who has to choose between his friendship with the lad and his hatred of what the lad stands for. 111 minutes Color 1997.
I don't know if Harrison Ford ever knew how to act, but he certainly has forgotten how by the time he plays this character. He "acts" by "playing stern". He does this by scowling and drawing down the sides of his lips and staring. That is to say, he makes faces. Too bad, because the result is that his vis à vis, given nothing to play with, takes every trick. The vis à vis in this case is the brilliant Brad Pitt, an actor whose every response seems right. As opposed to Ford whose every response seems righteous. We are presented thereby not with Ford's character being tortured by his own perfection and the lack of it in others, but by an actor who never questions the foundation of and impossibility of such a rock-faced contrast. Harrison Ford has no way through his own fixed method, and no suggestion of one. We are faced with thickness. Brad Pitt, however, is all wit, susceptibility, openness, and so he makes the most unlikely situations plausible, although in this he is certainly helped by the editor. After all, it is a story with guns going off and no one getting hit. So with no one for Pitt to play against the film lies flat, save when we see him. We side with him wholly and throughout, which is not what we are supposed to do. At first it seemed that the film was set in Ireland, since the opening has everyone speaking the tongue; it was only with forced effort that I understood it to be taking place in Brooklyn. Pitt is running guns to Ireland and is lodged in Harrison Ford's home. When Ford finds out what he is up to, oh dear! Because of Ford's acting choice, the wrap-up goes for naught. The supporting people, particularly Treat Williams as the gun middleman, are excellent, and, this being Pakula, the production values are first rate. See it for Pitt – always worth our appreciation in lower-class roles.

Slack messaging service suffers global outage
Slack, the messaging service used by millions of people for work and school, has suffered a global outage on Monday.
The service disruption occurred on the first day back to work for many people returning from the New Year's holiday, underscoring just how intensely millions have come to rely on such online services to work and go to school from home during the global coronavirus pandemic.
"Our team is currently investigating and we're sorry for any troubles this may be causing," Slack said in a statement.
Salesforce to buy Slack in $27.7bn deal aimed at competing with Microsoft Read more
The outage began around 10am eastern time and disrupted service in the US, Germany, India, the UK, Japan and elsewhere. Slack said that people should check its status site for updates. As of 1pm eastern time many users on Twitter had reported the service was back, though Slack's website said customers may still be experiencing disruptions.
"Some customers may be able to connect, but may also experience degraded performance," Slack said in a tweet. "We're continuing to work to resolve the issue."
The chat service, which allows for the creation of public and private breakout rooms as well as one-on-one chats, was launched in 2013 and quickly became an omnipresent tool for workplaces. It went public in 2019, opening nearly 50% above its expected price at $38.50, putting its initial market cap at $19.5bn. The platform had more than 12m users as of 2020, the last time the company publicized its daily user count. Its market cap is now more than $24bn.
Monday's outage came as Slack is in the process of being acquired by cloud-based software company Salesforce.com for $27.7bn. The deal is aimed at giving the two companies a better shot at competing against longtime industry powerhouse Microsoft. Slack shares were down about 1% late Monday morning.
Slack previously grappled with outages in 2019. The company revealed in its September earnings report it lost $8.2m in revenue after issuing credits to customers whose services were disrupted. Its stock to tumbled 14% in the aftermath.
Internet service outages are not uncommon, and are usually resolved relatively swiftly. They are only rarely the result of hacking or other intentional mischief.
Google went down briefly in December, with people in several countries unable to access their Gmail accounts, watch YouTube videos or get to their online documents during an outage. In August, Zoom went down just as many students were beginning the school year at home. And in September, Microsoft services had an outage that lasted for five hours.

Micmacs à tire-larigot, 2009
by Nate on August 13, 2013
Micmacs à tire-larigot , or Micmacs as it's known in the English-speaking world, is a whimsical movie centering on the story of a man named Bazil (Dany Boon) whose father is killed in Africa and who is later accidentally shot in the head. Now stricken with a disability, Bazil finds he has lost his job, his apartment and his possessions, all of which were taken while he was in the hospital.
Bazil eventually finds and joins up with a group of odd characters who live as a family in a house built within a junkyard. They are all unusual people with peculiar talents, like Calculator (Marie-Julie Baup) a mathematical savant, Buster (Dominique Pinon) a world record holding human cannonball, Tiny Pete (Michel Crémadès) who creates artistic, moving sculptures, and Elastic Girl (Julie Ferrier) an extremely flexible contortionist, as well as a few others with similar remarkable, if odd, talents.
They welcome Bazil, who finds evidence that a giant French arms company supplied the device that killed his father, and that another enormous French arms company manufactured the bullet lodged in his head. It is decided that the group will exact revenge on the two CEOs of these companies on Bazil's behalf. It is then the shenanigans begin with a complicated plot of revenge designed to annoy, economically damage, and otherwise cause trouble for the two CEOs and their respective companies.
Jean-Pierre Jeunet returns to the film world several years after his last offering, creating a delightful film, Micmacs, which is full of whimsy, imagination, and love. Like all of his other works, immense effort is put into the color and styling of the production lending it a delicate beauty; it's almost as though he transforms his films from motion pictures into motion paintings. Superb acting and a witty, original storyline, allow Jeunet to direct this cinematic gem with what has become his trademark level of quality. While it is an admitted bias on my part as a devoted fan of Jeunet's work, Micmacs is still a movie that can come with the strongest recommendations to viewers who like a bit of whimsy, accompanied by surreal and intense visual effects. The film is a delight and filled with the shenanigans to which the title refers.

Rachel is a respected doctor who lives in a picturesque and affluent English village where her husband Nathan teaches at an elite private school. Competent, unflappable, and nearing 50, Rachel has everything in her life firmly in her control, even if some of its early luster has worn off. But one day a new patient arrives at her practice for emergency treatment. Luc is a French painter married to a wealthy American woman who's just bought and restored a historic home on the edge of Rachel's posh neighborhood. The couple has only recently arrived, but Luc is struggling with a mental disorder, and so he goes to the nearest clinic…to Rachel.
Their attraction is instant, and as Rachel's sense of ethics wars with newly awakened passion, the affair blinds her to everything else happening around her. A longtime patient appears to be following her every movement, turning up unexpectedly wherever she goes. Her somewhat estranged adult daughter Lizzie is hiding a secret—or at least, hiding it from Rachel. Nathan has grown sour and cold as well—or is that merely Rachel's guilty conscience weighing on her? But when one of her colleagues winds up murdered and Luc is arrested for the crime, everything Rachel didn't know about her life explodes into the open—along with her affair with her patient—a disgrace and scandal that will have consequences no one could have predicted.

As Australia records its highest number of daily coronavirus cases since the onset of pandemic, PM warns there is 'no golden ticket' fix
Scott Morrison and Daniel Andrews will discuss whether further restrictions are necessary to contain the escalating outbreak in Victoria, after Australia recorded the highest number of daily Covid-19 infections since the onset of the pandemic.
Ahead of Thursday night's discussion, Morrison warned aged care facilities – one of the significant sources of the current outbreak – to use personal protective equipment or risk being marked down on their accreditation.
Morrison's directive was issued after Victoria confirmed 13 deaths and 723 new cases, and Andrews imposed restrictions on more local government areas, ordering face coverings to be worn across the state. New South Wales also recorded 18 new infections, including six cases from unknown sources, and Queensland a further three.
Speaking to reporters in Canberra, the prime minister declared there were "no golden tickets" out of the pandemic. Morrison said "some days, the virus wins. On other days, we beat it".
He noted many countries were now battling a second wave, and said the race for a vaccine was critically important. He told reporters he had made the point in recent conversations with other world leaders that there needed to be a global commitment to share a vaccine once it was developed. "Whoever finds it, wherever they are, I think there is a global responsibility to share that far and wide," the prime minister said.
With new infections persisting, and Australians becoming more anxious about the trajectory of the virus, tensions flared between Morrison and Andrews earlier in the week.
While the leaders are now projecting a more united front, Andrews noted on Thursday the accelerating trend of new infections was being fuelled in part by clusters in aged care – which is a commonwealth responsibility – and by people continuing to work while symptomatic. But Morrison countered that the main concern in the state was growth in untraced community transmission.
Of aged care facilities, Morrison said: "It is only a small number of facilities that I would still say are in the acute stage of the critical list that we have of just over a dozen centres, and stabilisation in many of those other centres has been established – but we are keeping them on a close watching brief."
The acting chief medical officer, Paul Kelly, told reporters of the 723 new cases in Victoria, 15 were aged care residents and a further 58 were staff members. He said of 5,000 active cases in Victoria, 456 were residents of aged care facilities.
After initially rejecting the need to create a national pandemic leave entitlement to stop workers in precarious employment continuing to work while infectious, on the grounds that people had access to state-based hardship payments, the Morrison government is now mulling the issue because of the outbreak in Victoria.
Acknowledging the grim milestone on Thursday, Labor intensified pressure on the government to deliver a leave entitlement urgently. "Scott Morrison needs to understand the urgency of the introduction of paid pandemic leave – frankly, there is no excuse to delay any longer," the federal Labor leader, Anthony Albanese, said.
"What we know is that an outbreak, an infection in one place can very easily lead to more infections and we have to, as a nation, be prepared to do whatever is necessary to minimise the risk of infections," Albanese said.
"What is clear, and has been clear for some time, is that if people have to choose between putting food on the table for their family and having the risk of going to work in order to earn income and being able to stay at home, then that puts them in a very difficult situation."
Morrison acknowledged the sustained outbreak in Victoria would delay economic recovery from the health crisis.
Earlier in the day, the Treasury secretary, Steven Kennedy, told a Senate committee he expected three-quarters of Victorian firms would still need the jobseeker wage subsidy after September, and he said economic forecasts released last week were already being overrun by events.
"This shock is far from over," Kennedy told the committee. "This is obvious to Australians living in Victoria."
The secretary signalled fiscal policy would be important to managing the economy towards recovery. He said further stimulus would be required to help bring down the high unemployment rate but "the extent of this support is hard to predict".

I know they are capable – they have it in them. They might not have the skills yet, but that's why they are at our middle school, to prepare them for our rigorous High School.
College is an option for all of our students here, not just a few, because everyone deserves to go to college. These students are our future and I truly believe that all of our students will become important members of society.
What makes ACE different from other schools?
We are a Familia – when staff and parents come to our school, they are joining a family.
We truly get to know our students and families – we know what they like and what they don't like, we know what time Mom gets home. We know that if we knock on their door that we will be welcomed with open arms.
ACE is Familia and the community we serve is our Familia.
Our families learn that they finally have a team that takes in their worries and fears. We empathize with them, extend our hand and give resources they need. We connect with them – we celebrate when they celebrate, we are sad when they're sad. We are a school that won't let them and their child down.
How is your journey similar to an ACE student?
I grew up in a 2 bedroom apartment with a total of 4 adults and 5 kids. It was tough – we were all crammed in there.
My parents worked everyday, so when I went to school, I attended the after school program until 6pm. Sometimes my Mom and Dad wouldn't have time to pick me up because they were working late and made other arrangements to have a family member pick me up. I was hoping and expecting to see my parents pick me up, and at times they couldn't.
I see that hurt in some of our students. Sometimes we have an open house and they expect their parents to come and they can't because of work. Our students hurt because they want their parents to be proud and present, but this is the reality our students face.
I had no siblings at 8 years old, so I would walk myself to school and walk myself home. Many ACE kids bring themselves to school, and at the same time, they have to also get siblings ready because their parents are working.
When I was in high school, my cousin Ana planted the seed that I needed to go to college. I just didn't know how. Then, my sister in-law Veronica brought it up to my parents, but they said that they didn't have that kind of money. I had to figure it out because they had no clue where to start. I was very connected to my softball coach Kelly – she was my role model. She guided me through high school and pushed me to apply to college.
Thanks to my cousin for planting the college seed, and my sister in-law and coach for helping me through my college career at San Jose State University.

The slate on a roof can outlast the materials fastening it to the roof. That's why we recommend the use of copper nails, flashing and valleys. However, the life of the roof is extended even further and a more unique style is created valleys are made with slate. This is a fine example of that technique.
This roof consists of a blend of Greenstone's Vermont slates: Vermont Clear Black, Vermont Gray / Black and Semi-weathering Gray / Green.
The Metro New York residence features an intricate all-stone closed valley created by the expert craftsmanship of L&M Roofing Contractors. The closed valley is not only beautiful, but with the slate covering the copper flashing, it is sure to be maintenance free for over a century.
Thanks to L&M Roofing Contractors for providing the photo.

Penugonda is the birth place of Goddess Sri Vasavi Kannika Parameshwari. Sri Vasavi Kannika Parameshwari Temple is situated in Penugonda, a town in West Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh. This Penugonda Kshetram is considered as a holy place for Arya Vysya Community.
Sri Vasavi Kannika Parameshwari temple finds mention in various ancient religious texts. According to a legend, Vasavi Kannika Parameshwari was famous for her beauty.
The temple is built in strict accordance with Vastu Sastra and so possessing Sturdy Prakaras, tall Gopuras, spacious courtyards, several mini-shrines, vast garba-grihas, grand mukhamandapas etc., It faces east and a tall tower surmounting over the broad Mahadwara beckons the visitors with its beautiful sculptural pieces adoring it from top to bottom and on all four sides too. There is a vast courtyard with several buildings housing the office room, choultry and quarters for the staff. In the second Prakara, there are many mandamus installed with adorable deities, like Vinayaka, Bali, Navagrahas, besides the exquisitely made colorful statues of Sri Vasavi Kannika Parameshwari standing in fire -pit with parents by her side.
The garbha griha of Nagareswaraswamy is quite spacious, and its spick and span together with the elevated vedh for the lingam in the center is masterly planned and tastefully executed. The imposing ling installed on a broad, high pedestal adorned with colorful garlands and the triple lines studded with diamonds is so captivating that the devotees raise their hands in veneration the moment it gleams into their sight. And feel transported to Kailas for a while. Its size and sheen are its plus points. The other two garbha grihas frankling this housing Mahishasuramardhini and Vasavamba are grand, and the icons beautified with dazzling jewels and colorful outfit mesmerises the adorers. A single darshan leaves unforgettable impression on the minds of the devotees and beckons repeated visits on and on.

World's smallest computer device created
Scientists have developed the smallest computer, a device that measures just 0.3 millimetres and could help find new ways to monitor and treat cancer.
Previous systems, including the 2x2x4 millimetre Michigan Micro Mote, retain their programming and data even when they are not externally powered. Unplug a desktop computer, and its program and data are still there when it boots itself up once the power is back. However, these new microdevices lose all prior programming and data as soon as they lose power.
We are not sure if they should be called computers or not. It's more of a matter of opinion whether they have the minimum functionality required, said David Blaauw, a professor at the University of Michigan in the US, who led the development of the new system.
In addition to the RAM and photovoltaics, the new computing devices have processors and wireless transmitters and receivers. Since they are too small to have conventional radio antennae, they receive and transmit data with visible light. A base station provides light for power and programming, and it receives the data.
One of the big challenges in building the device called Michigan Micro Mote was how to run at very low power when the system packaging had to be transparent. The light from the base station and from the device's own transmission LED that can induce currents in its tiny circuits.
We basically had to invent new ways of approaching circuit design that would be equally low power but could also tolerate light, Blaauw said. For example, that meant exchanging diodes, which can act like tiny solar cells, for switched capacitors.
Another challenge was achieving high accuracy while running on low power, which makes many of the usual electrical signals (like charge, current and voltage) noisier.
Designed as a precision temperature sensor, the new device converts temperatures into time intervals, defined with electronic pulses. The intervals are measured on-chip against a steady time interval sent by the base station and then converted into a temperature. As a result, the computer can report temperatures in minuscule regions - such as a cluster of cells - with an error of about 0.1 degrees Celsius.
The system is very flexible and could be reimagined for a variety of purposes, but the team chose precision temperature measurement, as some studies suggest that tumors run hotter than normal tissue, but the data isn't solid enough for confidence on the issue. Temperature may also help in evaluating cancer treatments.
Since the temperature sensor is small and biocompatible, we can implant it into a mouse and cancer cells grow around it, said Gary Luker, a professor at University of Michigan. We are using this temperature sensor to investigate variations in temperature within a tumor versus normal tissue and if we can use changes in temperature to determine success or failure of therapy, Luker said. Researchers look forward to what purposes others will find for their latest microcomputing device.
