A small group of American soldiers in WWII, lead by General Patton must stop the Nazis from weaponizing supernatural creatures of myth.
Operation Penumbra: Vol. 1 takes place in North Africa in March of 1943. The U.S. Army has just suffered an embarrassing defeat at the hands of the Desert Fox, Erwin Rommel and the German Afrika Korps during the Battle Of Kasserine Pass. Following the defeat, General George S. Patton ("Ol' Blood and Guts") was brought in to turn the Army around and make it the world class fighting force it once was.
The book begins when our main characters are sent out on patrol to recon a suspected German radio position that was attacked by an American P-40 Warhawk earlier that day. When they locate the still smoking mud brick building, they come across a horrific sight inside: damaged and destroyed radio equipment amongst carnage and viscera scattered around the room. Their shock is interrupted by the screams of their comrade and machine gun fire coming from outside. They rush to his aid and find a Sand Walker -- a scorpion the size of a Sherman tank-- attacking their friend. This isn't the war they'd seen in film reels, and it was just the beginning.
In Operation Penumbra the Axis powers have discovered how to weaponize creatures of folklore and mythology against the Allies. Soldiers have been found massacred in their foxholes and whole Commando units have disappeared never to be heard from again. Not only does this give the German army an advantage in combat, but also the crushing blow to Allied morale would be devastating.It has fallen on the shoulders of General Patton and his secret unit, the First U.S. Army Group, to deal with the growing threat.

View Full Version : Which wheels??
Haha, ya I do too but those are going to have winter tires mounted on them.
Not a Fan of TSW.
Ha! I used to have the Sting powdercoated black a while back. But very true TSW=teh soft. Those things got so out of round it wasn't even funny.
Those wheels are nice and all but not my taste at all. I like simple stuff. Can't beat those prices though.
As much as I wouldl like to drop 2k on wheels, I don't have that.
And if I did, I'd be doing something else with it. I'd have a BT turbo or something.

text:
Als Kommandos (kurz Kdo; von , beruhend auf , Nebenform von ) bezeichnet man im Allgemeinen bewaffnete Einheiten in geringer Stärke, die aufgabenspezifisch für einen Sonderauftrag zusammengefasst werden.

Kommandotrupps zeichneten sich durch Schnelligkeit, Mobilität und gute Tarnung aus. Ihre Taktiken wurden im Laufe der Zeit immer weiter entwickelt und angepasst; sie lassen sich auf die Guerilla-Kriegsführung des 20. Jahrhunderts zurückführen.

Wortherkunft
Im Deutschen ist der Begriff Kommando als Entlehnung aus dem Italienischen bereits um 1600 bezeugt, damals noch mit der alleinigen Bedeutung 'Befehl, Befehlsgewalt' bzw. ab dem 17. Jahrhundert auch 'Befehlswort', bevor diese im 18. Jahrhundert zu 'mit bestimmten Aufgaben betrauter Truppenteil' erweitert wurde.

Kommandounternehmen
Als sogenanntes Kommandounternehmen wird ein Vorgehen im Einsatz bezeichnet. Ein Kommando wird permanent oder nur für eine Aufgabe (aus-)gebildet. Aktionen erfolgen in der Regel als handstreichartiger Zugriff oder Hinterhalt. Kommandokampf bezeichnet in der Literatur kleinkriegsartige Gefechtsführung mit dem operativen Ziel, dem Gegner Schaden zuzufügen. Im Gegensatz zum Jagdkampf konzentriert sich der Einsatz im Kommandokampf auf Ziele von operativer Bedeutung, also das gezielte Einnehmen, Unbrauchbarmachen oder Zerstören von feindlichen Schlüsselstellungen wie Flugplätze, Kommunikations- und Führungszentren, weitreichende, schwere Artillerie- und Raketenstellungen, Brücken, Häfen, Versorgungspunkte, Bunker für Führungsstellen oder sonstigen für die Gefechtsführung wesentliche Einrichtungen, oder dem Festsetzen von Personal. Diese Angriffsoperationen () werden im Handstreich entweder an der Front oder aber, nach erfolgreicher Infiltration, im feindlichen Hinterland durchgeführt.

Im Tschetschenienkrieg wurde im Jahr 2002 der Begriff Militärische Spezialoperation für Truppen verwendet, die ad-hoc dem Auftrag entsprechend zusammengestellt wurden und dementsprechende Einsatzmittel erhielten. Die zeitlich und umfangmäßig beschränkten Aktionen waren nicht gegen die Truppenstandorte des Widerstandes, sondern gegen Führer und Kommandanten gerichtet.

Auswahlverfahren
Aufgrund der besonderen körperlichen und psychischen Anforderungen an die Bewerber hat nicht jeder Zugang zu Spezialeinheiten. An die Bewerber werden häufig spezielle Anforderungen gestellt. Zur Selektion derer mit der höchsten Motivation finden in modernen Spezialeinheiten Auswahlverfahren statt.

Historisch lässt sich dies bei den Otdelnly Gwardieskij Batalion Minerow, Vorgänger der russischen Speznas nachweisen. Die Soldaten durften nicht älter als 30 Jahre alt sein, waren meist Jäger und Sportler und nichts durfte sie von der Ausführung ihres Auftrages abhalten. Viele Erschöpfte und Verwundete wurden, auch während Übungen, sich selbst überlassen.

Das deutsche KSK erwartet von seinen Bewerbern körperliche Leistungsfähigkeit, Teamfähigkeit, Lernwilligkeit, psychische Belastbarkeit und Willensstärke, Stressstabilität, Verantwortungsbewusstsein und Verschwiegenheit, Anpassungsfähigkeit und Flexibilität, sowie Reisebereitschaft. Diese Fähigkeiten werden im Rahmen eines Einstellungstests geprüft.

Der Fitnesstest der US-Navy Seals prüft Schwimmgeschwindigkeit über 500 Yards, Anzahl der Liegestütze und Sit-ups binnen 2 Minuten, Klimmzüge, sowie Laufen über 1,5 Meilen ab.

Die Eignungsprüfung zur Schweizer AAD10 verlangt von den Bewerbern nächtliche Einsatzbereitschaft binnen 15 Minuten. Die Kandidaten bekommen kein direktes Feedback, sondern sollen Selbstdisziplin zeigen. Unter anderem wird im Rahmen der Selektion das Verhalten der Kandidaten bei Schlafentzug getestet.

Die Long Range Desert Group stellte Mitglieder nach längeren Auswahlgesprächen ein, erste SAS-Bewerber hatten einen 50-km-Marsch zu bestehen und die Royal Marine Commandos testeten die Motivation ihrer Bewerber auf einer Hindernisbahn mit scharfem MG-Feuer und Sprengkörpern nahe Achnacary in Schottland. Noch heute wird in der französischen Fremdenlegion etappenweise, bereits während der Bewerbung, ausgesiebt. Befragungen, medizinische, Intelligenz-, Logik- sowie Fitnesstests und leichter Drill und erste Aufgaben eröffnen der Legion eine Einschätzung der Bewerber. Zugleich kann jeder in den ersten 6 Monaten nach Vertragsabschluss aussteigen. Dies verlangt von den Bewerbern ein gewisses Commitment.

Ein Kommandosoldat sollte selbständig denken können. Dies steht im Gegensatz zur militärischen Tradition, sich auf seine Offiziere und Unteroffiziere zu verlassen. Einzel- oder Kleinstgruppenaktionen sind schwer zu entdecken. Folglich soll der Kommando auch ohne Befehle von Vorgesetzten in der Lage sein, adäquat zu handeln.

Geschichte

Die Burenkriege
Erste Einheiten, die sich als Kommandos bezeichneten, wurden im Jahre 1900 in Südafrika von den Buren im Kampf gegen die britische Kolonialmacht aufgestellt. Der Begriff stammt ursprünglich aus dem Portugiesischen (comando) und ging später in die von den Buren gebrauchte Sprache Afrikaans über.

Der Grund für die Bildung von berittenen Kommandoeinheiten in Stärke eines Zuges bis zu einer Kompanie lag in der Übermacht der britischen Streitkräfte, die nach anfänglichen Misserfolgen im Burenkrieg einen Großteil der regulären einheimischen Truppen geschlagen hatten. Die Buren zogen sich daraufhin in den afrikanischen Busch zurück und begannen einen Kleinkrieg, in dem sie u. a. britische Versorgungslinien, insbesondere Eisenbahnlinien, angriffen und gegnerische Soldaten aus dem Hinterhalt überfielen. Der Kampf der Buren entsprach damit eher dem Jagdkampf. Die Briten reagierten auf diese Art der Kriegführung mit ungewöhnlicher Härte: Neben dem Bau von Konzentrationslagern setzten sie die Taktik der verbrannten Erde ein, um den Buren-Kommandos ihre Lebensgrundlage zu entziehen. Der sich daraus ergebende Versorgungsmangel verschlechterte die Situation der Buren, die sich schließlich im Jahre 1902 ergeben mussten.

Kommandos im Ersten Weltkrieg
Rudolf Windisch führte als Vizefeldwebel mit Oberleutnant Maximilian von Cossel 1916 das erste bekannte Luftlande-Kommando-Unternehmen der Militärgeschichte durch. In der Nacht vom 2. zum 3. Oktober 1916 sprengte Cossel, der von Windisch mit dem Flugzeug abgesetzt und wieder abgeholt wurde, die Bahnlinie Rowno-Brody 85 km hinter der Ostfront. Dies wurde anerkennend im Heeresbericht vom 4. Oktober 1916 erwähnt: Östlicher Kriegsschauplatz: ...Oberleutnant v. Cossel, von Vizefeldwebel Windisch südwestlich von Rowno vom Flugzeug abgesetzt und nach 24 Stunden wieder abgeholt, hat an mehreren Stellen die Bahnstrecke Rowno-Brody durch Sprengung unterbrochen…….Der Erste Generalquartiermeister Erich Ludendorff

Kommandos im Zweiten Weltkrieg
Die Kommandotrupps des Zweiten Weltkrieges wurden für Kampfhandlungen zu Land, zu Wasser und in der Luft ausgebildet. Soldaten dieser Einheiten mussten den unbewaffneten Kampf, Infiltrations- sowie Aufklärungstaktiken beherrschen und fähig sein, unter verschiedenen klimatischen Bedingungen zu operieren. Einige Soldaten wurden auf besondere Fähigkeiten geschult, wie beispielsweise den Umgang mit Sprengstoff.

Schon vor Beginn des Krieges stellte die Wehrmacht mit dem vormaligen Regiment Brandenburg einen Spezialverband für operative und strategische Einsätze auf. Erst mit deren ersten Einsätzen erkannte als erstes die British Army deren Bedeutung in der modernen weiträumigen Gefechtsführung und stellte eigene alliierte Commandos für Operationen auf dem von den Achsenmächten besetzten europäischen Festland auf. Sie gelten als Vorgänger der modernen Spezialeinheiten.

Zur Bekämpfung von alliierten Kommandos wurde völkerrechtswidrig von Hitler der Kommandobefehl erlassen.

Deutschland

 Die erfolglose Besetzung des Jablunkapasses war ein Kommandounternehmen vom 25. bis zum 26. August 1939. Ziel war es, den strategisch wichtigen Jablunkapass für den geplanten Überfall auf Polen zu sichern, der schließlich auf den 1. September 1939 verlegt wurde.
 Im Morgengrauen des 10. Mai 1940 – an diesem Tag begann der Westfeldzug – landeten neun deutsche Lastensegler (also unmotorisierte Flugzeuge, die von Schleppflugzeugen auf Höhe geschleppt worden waren) auf dem begrünten Plateau über dem unterirdischen Fort Eben-Emael (Belgien) südlich von Maastricht. Binnen zehn Minuten nach der Landung sprengten die sieben Sturmtrupps – jeweils mit einer aufgesetzten Hohlladung – fast alle Artilleriewerke des Forts. Das Fort kapitulierte am nächsten Tag um 11:30 Uhr.
 Das Unternehmen Dora war ein deutsches Kommandounternehmen in Afrika. Es startete im Juni 1942 in der libyschen Hauptstadt Tripolis und stieß rund 4000 km quer durch die Sahara bis zum zentralafrikanischen Tschadsee vor.
 Beim Unternehmen Eiche am Gran Sasso d'Italia im September 1943 wurde der abgesetzte Diktator Benito Mussolini aus der Gefangenschaft der italienischen Regierung Badoglio befreit.
 Beim Unternehmen Bruno gelang es im September 1944 deutschen Kampfschwimmern, die Kreuzschanzschleuse von Antwerpen zu sprengen.
 Der Panzerraid nach Hammelburg war ein Kommandounternehmen der US-Armee zur Befreiung alliierter Soldaten aus dem Gefangenenlager des Truppenübungsplatzes Hammelburg am Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs.

Viele deutsche Kommandounternehmen wurden durch die Brandenburger ausgeführt (siehe auch: Decknamen deutscher Militäroperationen im Zweiten Weltkrieg).

Die britischen und US-amerikanischen Kommandos

Nachdem die Wehrmacht im Juni 1940 den Nordteil Frankreichs besetzt hatte, konnten die Briten auf dem Festland mit regulären Truppen keine militärischen Aktionen mehr durchführen. Infolgedessen und auf Grund eines Vorschlags von Brigadegeneral Dudley Clarke bildete man ab 1940 Commando-Truppen aus, die im europäischen Kernland und Norwegen operieren sollten. Clarke empfahl die Bezeichnung Commando in Anlehnung an die Buren-Einheiten. Auch Winston Churchill favorisierte diesen Namen; einige hochrangige Offiziere hätten die Bezeichnung Special Service bevorzugt. Beide Begriffe existierten später nebeneinander. Special Service meint eher die ganze Organisation (z. B. New Zealand Special Air Service, Australian Special Air Service Regiment); 'Commando' oder 'Kommando' mehr die einzelne Aktion bzw. den einzelnen Trupp.

Verdeckte Operationen von Saboteuren, Spionen und Kräften für die irreguläre Kriegsführung und Unterstützung von Guerilla und Partisanen wurden von Angehörigen des britischen Special Operations Executive SOE und dem amerikanischen Office of Strategic Services OSS durchgeführt.

Die Commandos wurden aus britischen Freiwilligen gebildet. Die Ausbildung schnitt man im weiteren Verlauf des Krieges auf die jeweiligen Einsatzorte zu. Operationen sollten schnell und präzise durchgeführt werden und nicht länger als 36 Stunden andauern.

Die erste Aktion fand am 23. Juni 1940 statt. 120 Mann führten eine Aufklärungsoperation an der französischen Küste durch, die nur Propagandawert und keinen besonderen militärischen Nutzen hatte. Die erfolgreiche Operation Claymore  folgte am 4. März 1941 in Norwegen.

Eines der bekanntesten Unternehmen war Operation Biting. In dessen Verlauf erbeuteten 1942 britische Fallschirmjäger der 1st Parachute Brigade bei Bruneval nördlich von Le Havre ein Funkmessgerät vom Typ Würzburg.

Der Erfolg dieser und ähnlicher britischer Unternehmen veranlasste Hitler zum sogenannten Kommandobefehl (Oktober 1942). Dieser sah vor, gefangengenommene Kommandosoldaten hinzurichten oder an die SS zu übergeben.

Trotz dieses rücksichtslosen Vorgehens gegenüber den Commandos fanden sich genug Freiwillige; Commandos gelangen im Kriegsverlauf weitere spektakuläre und erfolgreiche Unternehmen u. a. im Nahen Osten und in Italien. Die Commandos der Royal Marines setzen seit 1946 die Tradition der ursprünglichen Truppen fort.

1942 stellte William O. Darby in Nordirland US-amerikanische Ranger-Verbände auf. Sie erhielten ihre Feuertaufe am 19. August 1942 in der Nähe von Dieppe im Rahmen von Operation Jubilee. Der Einsatz scheiterte unter hohen alliierten Verlusten, da der deutsche Widerstand unerwartet stark war. Ihre erste eigenständige Aktion erfolgte im November 1942 in Nordafrika im Rahmen der Operation Torch.

Im Pazifikkrieg erlangte die Sparrow Force große Berühmtheit. Den 1000 bis 2000 Australiern und Niederländern gelang es zusammen mit einheimischen Helfern 1942/43 in der Schlacht um Timor, eine komplette japanische Division (etwa 12.000 Mann) auf der Insel zu binden.

Am 15. August 1944, gegen Mitternacht, neutralisierte die "First Special Service Force" (Colonel Walker) die Batterien der Inseln von Hyères im Rahmen der Landung in der Provence.

Nach dem Krieg versuchten Briten und Amerikaner, das Schicksal vermisster Kommando-Kämpfer (und Kämpferinnen – es sprangen auch einige Frauen mit dem Fallschirm über Frankreich ab) aufzuklären und ihre Mörder zu fassen. Z. B. wurden 1944 bei der Operation Loyton 31 Männer von der Wehrmacht nach Gefangennahme exekutiert.

Deutsche Kommandoeinheiten
Bereits im Ersten Weltkrieg wurden Kommandounternehmen auch von deutscher Seite durchgeführt. Der Hauptmann Fritz Klein führte im Herbst 1914 eine militärische Expedition zu den Ölfeldern in Persien gegen die dortige Ölpipeline durch, die unterbrochen wurde.

Das Regiment Brandenburg wurde als deutsche Kommandoeinheit der militärischen Abwehr aufgestellt, die von Wilhelm Canaris als Chef geführt wurde. Das Regiment führte sowohl verdeckte Operationen als auch offene Kampfhandlungen durch. Soldaten des Regiments, später Division Brandenburg, kämpften in sämtlichen Feldzügen des Deutschen Reiches. Kurz vor Beginn des Überfalls auf Polen versuchten sie, den wichtigen Jablunkapass in Südpolen einzunehmen, und mit Beginn des Russlandfeldzuges die Dünabrücken, die für den Angriff der Heeresgruppe Nord unerlässlich waren. An der Ostfront stießen sie im Rahmen des Unternehmens Schamil bis in den Kaukasus vor. Die Operation Pastorius sollte Sabotageaktionen in den USA ausführen. Verschiedene Unternehmen führten sie in den Nahen Osten, auf den Balkan und in die Nähe der russischen Hafenstadt Murmansk.

Mit Umgliederung der "Brandenburger" zur Panzerdivision Brandenburg, stellte die Waffen-SS Spezialeinheiten unter dem Amt VI-S auf. Im April 1943 wurde dem Österreicher Otto Skorzeny die Befehlsgewalt über die SS-Sonderverbände übertragen. Um an einem ersten Einsatz teilzunehmen, setzte er bei der Befreiung Mussolinis am 12. September 1943 im "Unternehmen Eiche" durch, dass er und ein SS-Kommando auch an der Operation des Fallschirmjäger-Lehrbataillons teilnehmen konnte. Ein weiteres Unternehmen war die Festsetzung des ungarischen Reichsverwesers Miklós Horthy am 15. Oktober 1944, der beabsichtigte, sein Bündnis mit Deutschland zu beenden.

Weitere Unternehmungen fanden u. a. in der Ardennen-Offensive (ab 16. Dezember 1944) statt, bei der Skorzeny eine Einheit aufstellte, die als Amerikaner getarnt hinter den gegnerischen Linien operierte ("Unternehmen Greif"). Dies zwang die alliierten Soldaten zu erhöhter Wachsamkeit, war aber im Gesamten wenig erfolgreich. Diejenigen Kommandos, die von den Amerikanern gefangen genommen wurden, erschoss man, da sie wegen des Tragens alliierter Uniformen gegen die Haager Landkriegsordnung verstießen. Skorzeny selbst wurde nach dem Krieg dafür angeklagt, jedoch nicht verurteilt, da sich herausstellte, dass auch alliierte Kommandoeinheiten in feindlichen Uniformen gekämpft hatten. (Siehe auch Kriegslist.)

Russische Otdelnly Gwardieskij Batalion Minerow
Jede Front/Armee hatte im "Großen Vaterländischen Krieg" ein selbständiges Gardebattalion (Otdelnly Gwardieskij Batalion Minerow), OGBM, oder auch Mineure genannt, für Fernspäh- und Kommandoaufgaben zur Verfügung. Die Soldaten durften nicht älter als 30 sein, waren meist Jäger und Sportler und nichts durfte sie von der Ausführung ihres Auftrages abhalten. Viele erschöpfte und Verwundete wurden, auch während Übungen, sich selbst überlassen. Diese Selektion qualifizierte die Truppen als Elite, führte aber auch zu hohen Verlusten. Sie sickerten in feindlich kontrolliertes Gebiet ein oder sprangen mit dem Fallschirm ab. Bei bedarf kooperierten mit Partisanen und schulten diese auch.

So wurden vor der russischen Großoffensive in Smolensk 1943 316 OGBM, in neun Gruppen, mit dem Fallschirm hinter den feindlichen Linien abgesetzt. Bis zu 300 km hinter den feindlichen Linien sprengten sie im Verbund mit Partisanen auf 700 km Bahngleise mit bis zu 3500 Sprengladungen.

Sie gelten als Vorläufer moderner Speznas.

Israelische Kommandooperationen

 Die Operation Entebbe fand 1976 auf dem Flughafen von Entebbe in Mogadischu statt. Im Verlauf der Operation befreiten Israelische Spezialkräfte eine von deutschen und palästinensischen Terroristen entführte Air France Maschine.
 Die Operation Rooster erbeutete 1969 eine sowjetische Radarstation. Vier ägyptische Techniker wurden nach Israel entführt.
 Die Operation Frühling der Jugend tötete 1973 Muhammad Youssef al-Najjar und Kamal Adwan in Beirut.

US Kommandos

 Operation Neptune Spear führte im Mai 2011 zur Tötung Osama bin Ladens
 Operation Irene, sollte im Oktober 1993 Schlüsselpersonen des somalischen Bürgerkriegs festsetzen und scheiterte

Terrorkommandos
Auch terroristische Gruppen bedienten sich Kommandostrategien.

 1977: Kommando Martyr Halimeh – Lufthansaflug nach Mallorca gekapert, um Terroristen freizupressen.
 1972: Kommando 2. Juni – Bombenanschlag der RAF auf das Springer Verlagsgebäude in Hamburg
 1986: Kommando Mara Cagol – Bombenanschlag der RAF auf den Siemens-Manager Karl Heinz Beckurt
 2002: Im November dieses Jahres entführte ein Kommando der kolumbianischen FARC den Erzbischof Jorge Enrique Jiménez Carvajal

Q: Simple blackjack javascript code I wish to make a simple blackjack game with JavaScript. I started where it prints out { rank: '7', suit: '♥' } (in a JSON format), but I would want it to print 7♥ into a string.
Any ideas how to get that to work? I also wish to get the game to work so that I can play it actively and it responds. Can anyone give me some advice on how to get it to do this?
function Card (rank, suit) {
    this.rank = rank;
    this.suit = suit;
}

function Deck () {
    this.deck = new Array();
    this.makeDeck = makeDeck;
    this.shuffle = shuffle;
    this.deal = deal;
}

function makeDeck() {
    var ranks = new Array("A","2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10"),
        suits = new Array("♥", "♦", "♣", "♠"),
        deck = new Array(52);

    var i, j;

    for (i = 0; i < 4; i += 1) {
        for (j = 0; j < 13; k += 1) {
            this.deck[i * ranks.length + j] = new Card(ranks[j], suits[i]);
        }
    }
}

function shuffle() {
    var i, j, temp, n = 10;

    for (i = 0; i < n; i += 1) {
        for (j = 0; j < this.deck.length; j += 1) {
            k = Math.floor(Math.random() * this.deck.length);
            temp = this.deck[j];
            this.deck[j] = this.deck[k];
            this.deck[k] = temp;
        }
    }
}

function deal() {
    if (this.deck.length > 0) {
        return this.deck.shift();
    } else {
        return null;
    }

    var deck = new Deck();
    deck.makeDeck();
    deck.shuffle();

    var i, j;

    for (i = 0; i < 2; i += 1) {
        for (j = 0; j < 4; j += 1) {
            var Card = deck.deal();
        }
    }
}

A: well You need to parse the JSON { rank: '7', suit: '♥' } to get the required output 7♥
just write like this
var jsonOutput =  { rank: '7', suit: '♥' }
var obj = JSON.parse(jsonOutput)
now print obj.rank+ obj.suit,answer will be 7♥.

King Dollar And Deflation Slay Gold And Silver
Nigam Arora Contributor
Great Speculations Contributor Group
I seek change that creates investment opportunities for my readers
(Image credit: AFP/Getty Images via @daylife)
The set-up for gold and silver to be slaughtered was perfect yesterday. There have been considerable outflows from popular ETFs like SPDR Gold Shares (GLD), iShares Silver Trust (SLV), Market Vectors Gold Miners (GDX), and Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners GDXJ.
The selling today was quite different from the typical patterns over the last two years. A vast majority of the time over the last two years, aggressive selling did not original from Asia or Europe but from North America. Today has been very different in that the selling originated early on in Europe. This selling may have something to do with Cyprus' decision to sell its gold reserves. As part of its bailout package, Cyprus is required to sell gold that is estimated to be worth around 400 million euros. The selling in Europe may have also been due to whiffs of deflation in new economic data.
At 8:30 a.m., the U.S. Producer Price Index (PPI) was released. PPI is considered a leading indicator because the theory is that producer prices eventually see their way to consumer prices. March PPI month over month declined 0.6% vs. 0.1%. It appears that less informed market players who trade on headlines without fully understanding the data in the U.S. added to the selling pressure in precious metals; this is evident from the trading data. A deeper look shows that March Core PPI month over month came at 0.2% vs. 0.1% consensus.
This number was hotter than expected and should have been supportive of gold prices but selling from Europe continued unabated. Core PPI excluded food and energy. Yes, we all eat, drive and even heat our homes and businesses. Therefore the use of core PPI comes under criticism. However such criticism comes from talking heads who have not attempted to use PPI data in models and algorithms useful for real life trading. In my algorithms and models, I use core PPI because regular PPI is simply too volatile and distorts trading signals to such a large extent that it makes otherwise very profitable algorithms unprofitable.
Major mining stocks such as Barrick Gold, Goldcorp and Newmont Mining have not been spared. These stocks made new 52-week and multiyear lows.
Different types of participants leave different types of footprints when they trade. Gold bugs tend to be intelligent and well-steeped in economics, especially monetary policy. They understand the arguments against gold and silver. Gold bugs tend to be long-term oriented and disciplined investors.
The gold momentum crowd is another story, buying old and silver simply because everyone else is buying gold and silver. They think it is going up, and they are scared of monetary policy pursued by the Federal Reserve. The danger here is that the momentum crowd will panic and start selling. If such selling were to occur, gold will quickly fall to $1250 to $1425 range.

Pentagon documents reveal 'deeply flawed' U.S. air war: report
Aimal Ahmadi, a Kabul resident, who lost his daughter, his brother and eight other relatives in a August 29, 2021 U.S. drone strike on his home, stands by the wreckage of a car destroyed in the strike in the courtyard of his house in Kabul, Afghanistan, December 14, 2021. /AFP
Newly obtained Pentagon documents show that the U.S. air wars in the Middle East have been marked by "deeply flawed intelligence" and resulted in thousands of civilian deaths, including many children, the New York Times reported Saturday.
It said a trove of confidential documents covering more than 1,300 reports of civilian casualties undercuts the government's portrayal of a war fought with precision bombs.
Pledges of transparency and accountability, it said, had regularly fallen short.
"Not a single record provided includes a finding of wrongdoing or disciplinary action," the paper reported in what it said was the first of a two-part series.
While several of the cases mentioned by the Times have been previously reported, it said its investigation showed that the number of civilian deaths had been "drastically undercounted," by at least several hundred.
Among three cases cited was a July 19, 2016, bombing by U.S. special forces of what were believed to be three ISIS staging areas in northern Syria. Initial reports indicated that 85 ISIS fighters were killed. Instead, the dead were 120 farmers and other villagers.
Sandals and other personal items collected after Kabul resident Aimal Ahmadi's 10 family members and other relatives are killed in a U.S. drone strike on his house on August 29, 2021. /AFP
Poor or inadequate surveillance footage often contributed to deadly targeting failures, the report said.
More recently, the United States had to retract its claim that a vehicle destroyed by a drone on a Kabul street in August had contained bombs. Victims of the strike, it turned out, were 10 members of a family, including children.
Asked for comment, Captain Bill Urban, spokesman for the U.S. Central Command, told the NYT that "even with the best technology in the world, mistakes do happen, whether based on incomplete information or misinterpretation of the information available. And we try to learn from those mistakes.
"We work diligently to avoid such harm. We investigate each credible instance. And we regret each loss of innocent life."
In compiling its report, the NYT said its reporters had "visited more than 100 casualty sites and interviewed scores of surviving residents and current and former American officials."
The paper obtained the Pentagon documents through Freedom of Information requests beginning in March 2017 and lawsuits filed against the Defense Department and the Central Command. A new suit seeks records from Afghanistan.

It's no surprise that the quantity of mobile searches has eclipsed desktop searches in the past 2-3 years. The rate of mobile/tablet searches compared to desktop will continue to rise in the future as well. According to Brightedge, it's reported now that "57% of all search traffic is coming through smartphones and tablets. Compared to 43% from desktop searches." Listed below are some factors as to why mobile search traffic will continue to surpass desktop.
One of the reasons this remains the case is simplicity and convenience. Smartphones are typically on us at all times and that allows for convenient search engine access at the "tip of our fingers." Literally in the click of 2-3 buttons, a Google search can be conducted on any smartphone or tablet. This trend isn't going anywhere in the near future as well. According to the Pew Research Center "Approximately three quarters (77%) of all adults in America today own a smartphone."

The "always on the go" mentality of society today is another reason for increased mobile search traffic. Everyone's got something going on and people are always on the move. Moreover, the direct result of this mindset is a large volume of search traffic coming from mobile devices. Lets say you're out and about trying to find a place to eat for instance. What's the first instinct that comes to mind – mobile searching on Google. "Best restaurant in the area" or "best places to eat in the city" are common searches that would be used in these scenarios. In the end, mobile search traffic will continue to flourish and it's up to advertisers to know how to adapt to this trend.

Art Gallery offers Littlest Show
May 9, 2018 · by The Diamond Editor	· in Art, Entertainment, Spring 2018.	·
Allison Wordes—Staff Writer
Senior Lydia Van Wingerden's art gallery show takes a second glance—it doesn't get smaller than this. Her collection on display includes over 250 tiny watercolor paintings done over the course of one year. The idea originated with a theme she followed for last year's spring painting class and grew to become an even bigger project.
Each painting is paired with a unique and somewhat obnoxious word, combining the elements of Art and English to intrigue viewers. The goal is to get people to come up close—seeing them both as individuals and as a larger picture.
"There is a tranquil quality about the work," said graphic design professor David Versluis. He said the black matte border around each one emphasizes how small they are and brings out the nuances. "She has created a detailed universe with her work."
Van Wingerden hopes to sell her artwork to raise money to travel to South Sudan after she graduates. In January 2019 she will go to teach school with a local missionary for two years, possibly more. In the same way that she is uprooting and leaving Dordt, she wants her artwork to scatter and essentially "start a life of their own." So far, there is no set price "beyond whatever freewill donation people are willing to contribute to [her] mission."

"It was more satisfying than I thought," said Van Wingerden. While at first she thought it cliché that the art "took on a life of its own," she has seen the transformation from a stack of tiny watercolors piled on her desk to a full gallery. To her, they are like people with individual personalities.
Teaching 3rd grade at Sioux Center Christian has given Van Wingerden experience to go out and use her skills. A lot of her job is seeing the world from their eyes. She hopes to invite her students to the gallery so they can see what she has been working on. One of her goals with this project is to make it accessible to everyone of all ages.
"I want people to think 'I can do that!'" said Van Wingerden.
Watercolor is Van Wingerden's preferred medium of choice because most everyone has painted with watercolor at some time since kindergarten and would find it easy to use. The beauty for her is in the simplicity. Also, she can keep working until she gets what she wants. Watercolor often turns out better when it has dried.
"I think she is the queen of tiny trees," said sophomore Retasya Badudu, who enjoyed the small details and spent time looking at an entire wall.
Another aspect of this show are the titles of the works. Only once you get up close do you become aware of how odd and scrumptious they are in their relation to each piece—for example, "Coddiwomple for a small caricature of a gnome. Upon reading the curious word "vermiculation" in a book, Van Wingerden hit upon the idea of collecting a variety of great words to name her art. These words were then matched carefully to each painting—a lengthy process.
Van Wingerden's inspiration came from a variety of places. The bell pepper painting highlighted on the Dordt webpage came from a sketch she had made while cleaning out her parent's greenhouse. Looking back at her sketchbooks sparked many ideas, as well as looking back at little paintings she had already done. Even familiar things, she said, can seem new and exciting.
"I love methodical, repetitive things," said Van Wingerden. Ceramics were another aspect she built into her show, with the idea of still being small and yet functional. That part of the show she called "Absence of Memory," with the idea that viewers could trade each cup out for one of their own, creating a new dynamic.
"I'm leaving Dordt… it's like leaving behind a memory and forging new memories," said Van Wingerden. She has family in all parts of the world, including a brother in Japan. In going to South Sudan, she knows she will need to adapt to a new way of life and learn how to be creative with the materials she has available.
"I was blown away by how much paper we use as teachers," said Van Wingerden. However, the absence of art supplies does not phase her—she is looking forward to the challenge.
As good as she agrees it is to be creative and innovative, she finds the beauty in repetition, when we can "just be." She emphasized how knowing what we are going to do next and having a routine creates balance.
"I watch people going by that space, and I can see that they're drawn in," said Versluis. He noted the spectrum of styles she included, from representational landscape to complete abstract.
Bring in the Littles! Van Wingerden's art gallery show reception was held Friday, April 27 at 7:00 in the Campus Center gallery.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has praised the welcome the South gave his sister and said it was important to build on the Olympics-driven momentum for dialogue on the divided peninsula.
Kim's younger sister Kim Yo Jong - one of his closest confidantes - was part of the nuclear-armed North's diplomatic delegation to the Games that made worldwide headlines.
She delivered his invitation for the South's President Moon Jae-in to come to a summit in Pyongyang - which he did not immediately accept, saying the "right conditions" were needed.
But the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang have triggered extraordinary scenes, with Moon and Kim cheering a unified Korean women's ice hockey team together - along with the North's ceremonial head of state Kim Yong-nam - and attending a concert by Pyongyang's artistes.
Kim Jong-un met the delegation on Monday after it returned to Pyongyang, the official KCNA news agency reported.
It indirectly cited Kim as saying it was important to enhance "the warm climate of reconciliation and dialogue" created by the Winter Olympics - which for months the North refused to say whether it would attend.
He gave instructions for "practical measures" to do so, it added, without giving details.
The South's appreciation of the North's presence and the welcome it gave its representatives were "impressive", he said, thanking Seoul for its "sincere efforts".
The KCNA report is the first official reaction from Kim - the third generation of the dynasty to rule the isolated and impoverished North - since his sister's charm offensive in the South.
Kim Yo-jong's visit made her the first member of the family to set foot in the country since the end of the Korean War.
Pyongyang's Olympic diplomacy has also highlighted differences between Seoul and its key protector the United States over how to handle the reclusive regime and its nuclear weapons programme.
Washington insists that Pyongyang must take concrete steps towards denuclearisation before any talks can begin, while Moon - whose parents escaped from the North in a US evacuation during the war - has long argued for closer involvement to bring it to the negotiating table.

[ January 28, 2020 ] Actress Doris Ogala shares screenshots of messages revealing Oge Okoye has allegedly been secretly sleeping with ex-husband of Uche Elendu	Nollywood News

Nollywood Travel Festival to hold during TIFF 2017
June 30, 2017 watchman Nollywood Events, Nollywood News 0
As part of the build-up to the TIFF sub-festival this September, organisers of Nollywood Travel Festival held a Meet & Greet event on June 23, 2017 at The Waterside, Ikoyi, Lagos, where nominees where officially unveiled and celebrated with pomp.
The maiden edition of Nollywood Travel Festival is scheduled to take place from September 12 to 16, 2017 in Toronto, during the annual Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) holding in Canada from September 7 to 17, 2017.
The need to situate works of Nigerian motion picture practitioners within the prestigious TIFF was conceived last year, when eight Nollywood films were showcased in the city-to-city focus section of the North American film festival.
Founder of Nollywood Travel Film Festival, Mykel Parish said the unprecedented acceptance of Nigerian films by non-Africans at the 2016 edition of TIFF, was an evidence of breath of fresh air for the movie lovers, hence the need to feed the thirst of other continents with Nollywood contents.
According to Parish who is also President of African Film Consortium (AFC), since TIFF's city-to-city programme has been rested after Nollywood's outing in Toronto last year, the initiative paves the way for a suitable alternative.
As part of the build-up to the TIFF sub-festival this September, organisers of 'Nollywood Travel Festival' held a Meet & Greet event on June 23, 2017 at The Waterside, Ikoyi, Lagos, where nominees where officially unveiled and celebrated with pomp.
Hosted by veteran Nollywood actor Richard Mofe-Damijo, celebrities at the event include Osas Ighodaro Ajibade, IK Ogbonna, Alexx Ekubo, Tope Oshin, Mykel Parish, Zakky Adze, Pretty Okafor, Andy Boyo, Sound Sultan, Oghenekaro Itene and Kingsley Omoefe among others.
Nominated short films to be screened at the film festival include The Encounter by Tolulope Ajayi; Ireti by Tope Oshin;Meet My Parents by Lonzo Nzekwe; Silence by Tolulope Ajayi and No Good Turn by Udoka Oyeka.
The feature length films are Kada River, 10 Days in Sun City, Catch.er, Lotanna, Lost in London, Excess Luggage,Esohe, Mansoor, Oloibi ri, Unveil, Slow Country, and Alter Ego.
Unveiling the nominees at the glamorous event, Parish said he and his team are excited and proud to showcase Nollywood films to the world.
He said although the festival is making debut in Toronto, other host cities include New York, London, Helsinki, Dubai, Tokyo, and Dublin.
"The Nollywood Travel Film Festival celebrates the best of Nigerian cinema and will be hosted in major cities around the world. It will be a weekend of special indoor and outdoor screenings, inspiring discussions, meeting, parties and awards," said Parish, adding that "the initiative seeks to promote films by Nigerians living all over the world to new and existing global audiences with the aim of creating new market places for Nigerian cinema."

When dry, this wood glue is unaffected by finishes and sands easily. Also ideal for craft projects, Titebond Translucent is easy to use, non-toxic and cleans up with water. It is specifically designed for wood, particleboard, hardboard, leather, cloth and most other porous materials.... 17/02/2008�� Best Answer: You don't have to add water, but it's often good to thin down "white glues" (PVA's) to make them as clear *as possible* since white glues come in various thicknesses.
After the marbles dry, the glue will be clear. Decide at that point if you want to add another layer of glitter. If so, repeat steps 3-5. Decide at that point if you want to add another layer of glitter.
It goes on white, but dries clear so you know when it's completely cured. White glue dries as water evaporates , and the process is accelerated with oxygen and heat , so using fans or a hairdryer is the best way to speed up your project.

At process by which the zygote rapidly
At this stage in life, you likely know where babies come from. However, did you know that some animals can make clones of themselves and reproduce sexually too? In this lesson, you'll learn more about sexual reproduction and early vertebrate development.
As you might recall, there are two different fundamental methods that organisms use to reproduce: asexual reproduction, which is a form of reproduction from a single parent that makes a clone of itself through mitosis, and sexual reproduction, which is when two parents produce offspring with unique combinations of genes from both parents. Some multicellular animals, like corals, use both asexual and sexual reproduction, while others, like mammals, only reproduce sexually.The sequence of events in sexual reproduction starts the same way in all sexually reproducing animals – with gametogenesis, which is the formation of gametes.
You may remember that gametes are specialized sex cells produced by each parent for sexual reproduction. There are two types of gametes: sperm and ova.
Definition of gametes
Sperm, which are the male gametes, are created during the process of spermatogenesis. Ova are the female gametes and are created during the process of oogenesis.After gametogenesis, the process of sexual reproduction takes many forms. Somehow, the male and female gametes need to combine to form a zygote, which is basically a fertilized ovum.
In some animals, like many fish species, fertilization occurs externally outside the bodies of both parents, while in others, like mammals, fertilization occurs internally inside the female.Likewise, the early development of the offspring can also occur either internally or externally. Some animals, like common garden snails, are hermaphrodites, or organisms that have both male and female sexual organs.
Definition of hermaphrodite
Illustration of early vertebrate development highlighting the dorsoventral axis
Next, the zygote must undergo cleavage, which is the process by which the zygote rapidly divides without growing to become multicellular. This is an obvious step in the development of a multicellular organism.
Definition of cleavage
However, it's important that cleavage occurs early in development because a single cell is very limited in the shapes it can form, and a single-celled zygote also cannot begin the process of differentiating into different tissue types.
Primary Germ Layers
This brings us to the third fundamental task that must be completed during early development, the formation of the three primary germ layers.
These three layers are called the ectoderm, the mesoderm and the endoderm.
The three primary germ layers
The ectoderm is the outermost layer of cells in the early embryo. The mesoderm is the middle layer of cells in the early embryo. Finally, the endoderm is the innermost layer of cells in the early embryo.
Each primary germ layer will eventually become a specific set of tissue and cell types of the organism, so the formation of the different layers is one of the critical early events in animal development. After the three primary germ layers are formed, organogenesis, or the formation of organs, can begin in the embryo, and the different body structures can begin to take form.
Sexual reproduction in multicellular animals is a complicated process with a lot of steps. It begins with gametogenesis, which is the formation of gametes.
Gametes are specialized sex cells produced by each parent for sexual reproduction, and there are two types of gametes: sperm and ova. Sperm, which are the male gametes, are created during the process of spermatogenesis. Ova are the female gametes and are created during the process of oogenesis.
During fertilization, the male and female gametes combine to form a zygote, which is basically a fertilized ovum.After fertilization, the zygote must establish the three major body axes. The anteroposterior axis organizes the body from head to tail.
The dorsoventral axis organizes the body from back to belly. The left-right axis organizes the body from left to right. Next, the zygote undergoes cleavage, which is the process by which the zygote rapidly divides without growing to become multicellular.
This brings us to the third fundamental task that must be completed during early development, the formation of the three primary germ layers. These three layers are the ectoderm, which is the outermost layer of cells in the early embryo, the mesoderm, which is the middle layer of cells in the early embryo, and the endoderm, which is the innermost layer of cells in the early embryo. After the three primary germ layers are formed, organogenesis, or the formation of organs, can begin in the embryo and the different body structures can begin to take shape.
