As it has been in the past, technological and operational innovation will be the key to it.There's been a lot of talk about a Third Offset Strategy at the Defense Department lately. It's part of Defense Secretary Ash Carter's plan to make sure the U.S. military remains the world's finest fighting force.The Third Offset Strategy has a number of parts to it, so at first glance, it may appear complicated. Lucky for you, my job was to break down some of the more technical aspects into layman's terms.Basically, anoffset strategyis part of a long-term competitive strategy; a peacetime competition between rival defense establishments that aims to generate and sustain strategic advantage. Offset strategies are not about formulating a general unified theory for armed conflict. They instead aim to bolster and extend U.S. conventional deterrence against great powers able to produce or acquire technologically advanced weapons systems.It's how we strengthen our military's competitive edge. Offset strategies are not solely about technological approaches, although all offset strategies have a powerful technological component. They are about finding the right combination of technologies and operational and organizational constructs to achieve decisive operational advantage and thus bolster conventional deterrence.It's something we've done successfully twice before.

Q: OWL : Does disjoint "general class axiom" via a property only works if classes themselves are disjointed? For example 1 :

*

*Classes : A and B.

*Property : hasValue.

*Axiom : hasValue some A disjointWith hasValue some B.

*Individual : user1.

*user1 hasValue A.

*user1 hasValue B.

Protege reasoner (HermiT) throws no error.
For example 2 :

*

*Classes : A and B.

*A disjoint with B.

*Property : hasValue.

*Axiom : hasValue some A disjointWith hasValue some B.

*Individual : user1.

*user1 hasValue A.

*user1 hasValue B.

Protege reasoner (HermiT) throws error.
Shouldn't "hasValue some A disjointWith hasValue some B" alone be sufficient to throw error in eg 1's case?
EDIT : example 1's reasoner result is wrong. As @Henriette Harmse showed below reasoner will throw error.
I was doing declaring Axiom a little differently than what I wrote above. I declared axiom as "hasValue some B DisjointWith hasValue some
(P and (not (B)))", where P is parent class of both A and B. (Full sample ontology below.) If you import it in protege and run, you'll not get error.
It seems :

*

*"hasValue some B DisjointWith hasValue some A"

*"hasValue some B DisjointWith hasValue some (P and (not (B)))"

are not equivalent statements.

Update after reviewing ACTUAL ontology
The main problem is that you stated the GCI you used incorrectly. What you said you used are substantially different from what you actually used.
What you said used: hasValue some A disjointWith hasValue some B
What you actually used:
hasValue some A DisjointWith hasValue some (P and (not (A)))

hasValue some B DisjointWith hasValue some (P and (not (B)))

To understand why your GCIs do not have the desired effect, I have drawn an example Venn diagram:

Note that hasValue some A DisjointWith hasValue some (P and (not (A))) states that there is no individual x that belongs to both the set hasValue some A and the set hasValue some (P and (not (A))). It does however allow for the possibility that you have an individual user1 that is related via hasValue to an individual in set A and that is related via hasValue to an individual in set B. This is because nothing prohibits the sets hasValue some A (to which user1 hasValue A belongs) and hasValue some B (to which user1 hasValue B belongs)` to overlap. To prohibit this, you have to add the following GCI:
hasValue some A DisjointWith hasValue some B
How to get a inconsistency using you GCIs
To get an inconsistency using your GCIs, you have to have an individual that  actually belong to the disjoint sets you defined. I.e.,
Define individual x as follows:
:x rdf:type owl:NamedIndividual ,
        [ owl:intersectionOf ( :P
                               [ rdf:type owl:Class ;
                                 owl:complementOf :A
                               ]
                             ) ;
          rdf:type owl:Class
        ] .

and then define user2:
:user2 rdf:type owl:NamedIndividual ;
   :hasValue :A ,
             :x .

You will get an inconsistency with the following explanation:

After her mother died, Pauline was just 13 and charged with caring for her three younger siblings. She became a prostitute, because she didn't know how else to put food on the Canada Goose Coats On Sale table or provide other basics for her family.
While Pauline's story is a common one in certain parts of the world, there isn't much data about this vulnerable demographic. There are statistics that demonstrate how many girls are in school, for example. But there's a glaring lack of information on how many of them have dropped out and why concluded a new study, "Counting buy canada goose jacket cheap the Invisible Girls," published this month by Plan International.
Without accurate information about the struggles girls face, such as abuse, child marriage, and dropout rates, governments and nonprofit Canada Goose Online groups can't develop programs that cater to the specific needs of underserved girls. As a result, struggling girls across the globe, have little chance of escaping the cheap canada goose uk problems that prevent them from pursuing an education and becoming economically independent.
Plan International took an in depth look at the issues 240 girls from Zimbabwe and Nicaragua face. cheap Canada Goose The group interviewed young mothers, married girls, school dropouts, and girls from ethnic minorities, Sethna said. The canada goose uk black friday goal was to demonstrate the pressing need for better figures and for detailed information about how these issues play out.
Most official sources, for example, only collect data about girls and women between the ages of 15 and 49. Yet 2 million children are born to girls younger than 15 every year, and little is known about their lives and experiences, according to Plan International.
More than half of all countries report data on intimate partner violence. But variations in quality and definitions make it challenging to compare these results from country to country, according to Plan International.
"While data alone can't change the world, good gender data and analysis are critical to reaching global goals," Sethna said. canada goose outlet "It's easier to ignore a problem when there is little evidence of how deeply it affects people, and much harder to ignore when the facts are right in front of you.".

OKOMUKARU, 31 MAY (NAMPA) - Chief Berthold Tjiundje of the Ovaherero Traditional Authority in Aminuis has called on Government to consider extending the communal lands here through the acquisition of commercial farms bordering the area.
Tjiundje said the Aminuis Constituency has become too small for the growing number of livestock in the area and as such, remedial action to avoid the overpopulation of livestock in the constituency is needed.
The chief made this call during a briefing session on drought with Prime Minister, Dr Hage Geingob on the latter?s whirlwind visit to the constituency on Thursday.
Tjiundje said despite the increase in the number of livestock in the area, the surface area of the constituency has remained constant, which has led to a squeeze for grazing.
?Many people have come to settle in Aminuis, while young people are now constantly building their own homesteads, and therefore acquiring their own livestock.
We just cannot cope with the current size of the constituency, and request that Government looks into it,? he said.
Tjiundje said the proclamation of adjacent commercial farms as an extension to the communal land will go far in Government?s efforts to contain the prevailing drought conditions.
Nearby commercial farms have adequate grazing, which would assist communal farmers during droughts.
?We see this happening in other areas, and it could also help us a lot in the Aminuis Constituency. Despite our vast underground water resources, our constituency faces huge grazing challenges, which need urgent address,? he continued.
The Aminuis Constituency is home to about 12 000 residents, most of whom are farmers, whose sole form of livelihood is subsistence farming.
This form of farming is, however, made difficult by the ever-persistent drought conditions, which often result in the death of livestock and a lack of food supply for the farmers.

I love the way you THINK about things, letting them marinate and brew before maturing into something beautiful. If only the world had a million more Dorcases, we wouldn't be arguing so much.
I find liturgy worshipful as well. I'm not sure I'd like it all the time...I think it could soon become rote to me. (And I really appreciate the spirit of brotherhood we have in our real life, and our testimony meeting in church which gives us a sense of family and intimacy.) But when I stick to the occasional Ash Wednesday or Christmas eve service, it really means a lot to me.
-one whose anabaptist service is properly stripped of as many externals as we can!
I love the cathedral too. I've never been there for a service, though I've always wanted to. But I do treasure the time some friends and I sat in one of those basement chapels and sang songs in four part harmony.
I loved your thoughts on liturgy, and beauty with worship.
It is a valuable lesson for humanity, that there is no one "true" way to worship. God is the ultimate creative force, and as such, shouldn't there be infinite ways in which to express awe and appreciation for God? We do ourselves, and God, a terrible disservice when we disrespect others' ways of worship. Thank you for this post, Dorcas. You are a solid voice for not only tolerance, but appreciation of others' ways.
As a "cradle Episcopalian," I'm so glad you enjoyed the service at the Cathedral! It can be a blessing to experience how other denominations conduct worship services, if one approaches it the way you do.
Thanks, Dorcas, for your thoughtful perspective on worship - a great reminder that each of our personality types are moved in various ways. I don't know how a formal liturgical setting might stir me but I do know how, when I'm alone in the confines of my van, I belt out a worship song along with the radio while drumming vigorously on the steering wheel in a most unanabaptist manner! Worshiping in spirit and in truth engages our God-given personalities rather than denying them. As always, a great blog, Dorcas!

Fake Russian scandal drowning the finances of Trump's advisors
Marija Nikolovska
Many key figures in Donald Trump's presidential campaign have incurred sizeable legal fees as a result of ongoing investigations into allegations of Russian meddling in the 2016 US election. Adviser Roger Stone has gone so far as to email supporters asking for financial assistance.
Roger Stone, longtime adviser to US President Donald Trump, is allegedly facing almost US$460,000 in legal fees incurred, since landing in the cross hairs of federal and congressional investigations into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 US election.
In a 1,600 word statement emailed to press and supporters, Stone called special counsel Robert Mueller a "deep state vigilante" and "executioner" who was "busy casting about for anything he can latch onto."
He is "certain" Mueller intends to "remove" the president from office, in collusion with Democrats, "many of whom are openly plotting a literal coup d'etat against the President of the United States."
"I am not a wealthy man, by any means. Such crushing expense, with nothing to show for it except my vindication against a juggernaut of political dirty tricks and lies, threatens to destroy me and my family financially — all because I fought to elect Donald Trump. All because the deep state partisans know I will continue fighting for his agenda," Stone wrote.
Stone, whose contact with hacker Guccifer 2.0 and WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange before the election has come under scrutiny in the investigations, said it cost him U$400,000 in legal fees to prepare for his September testimony before the House Intelligence Committee — a probe he called at the time a "political exercise."
Stone admitted to speaking to both, but argued his communications were entirely properly and legal, and not part of any effort to collude with a foreign power. While he refused to name the person who connected him with Assange, he said it was a journalist, who he couldn't name a their conversation was "off record."
Stone is also a "person of interest" to Senate Intelligence Committee investigators, but they are yet to formally invite Stone to testify.
"I've yet to testify before the US Senate Intelligence Committee and anticipate the legal representation I require for that exchange will easily put my legal bills even closer to the million dollar mark. I hope you will consider contributing anything you can. You can do so your contribution of $25, $50, $100, $250, $500, $1000 or more would be a Godsend," Stone added.
Wide Net
Stone is not the only individual in the president's circle of trustees facing sky-high legal fees as a result of the investigation.
JD Gordon, national security official on the Trump campaign, told Business Insider while Trump's reelection campaign and the Republican National Committee were "taking care" of the president and his son Donald Trump Jr., "the rest of us who aren't billionaires must fend for ourselves." Federal Election Commission filings showed the Trump campaign spent over US$1.1 million on legal fees July — October.
"In my case, representing the campaign to speak to a group of over 50 foreign ambassadors during the RNC in Cleveland, combined with ensuring our campaign's national security policies were reflected in the GOP platform the week prior, have led to nearly five-figure personal legal bills," he said.
Gordon in particular has been quizzed about the watering down of an amendment to Republican policy on Ukraine in July 2016 — originally, it proposed the GOP commit to sending "lethal weapons" to the Ukrainian army, but the wording was altered to "appropriate assistance" in the party's official platform.
Another Trump campaign adviser, Michael Caputo, has been forced to take US$30,000 out of his children's college fund to pay for lawyers — he is a person of interest apparently due to his Ukrainian wife, and previous work as a media consultant in Russia during the 1990s.
The family of former national security adviser Michael Flynn has also set up a defense fund in September, to pay legal fees that may exceed US$1 million.
Coup D'etat
Republican Matt Gaetz of Florida has introduced legislation pressuring Mueller to resign — and in a speech on the House floor November 8, he suggested the US was "at risk of a coup d'etat."
"We are at risk of a coup d'etat in this country if we allow an unaccountable person [Mueller] with no oversight to undermine the duly-elected president of the United States. That is precisely what is happening right now with the indisputable conflicts of interest that are present with Mueller and others at the Department of Justice," he said.
Gaetz has also called for a special prosecutor to investigate the Uranium One scandal, the Clinton Foundation, and research firm Fusion GPS, which produced the "dodgy dossier" alleging Trump-Russia collusion, which was paid for by Obama for America's law firm, the Democratic National Committee (DNC), and the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign.

Column: China rises as Trump cedes leadership in coronavirus crisis
In the best of all pandemic-ridden worlds, the coronavirus would spur powerful countries to cooperate with one another since everyone is facing the same danger.
Not this time. The United States and China have turned the pandemic into a battle zone in their struggle for global influence.
And so far, the United States is losing ground.
After bungling its initial response to the infections that first appeared in Wuhan, China appears to have largely contained the contagion and is delivering medical supplies to Italy, Spain and other hard-hit countries. Chinese President Xi Jinping spent last week on the phone offering well-publicized help to leaders around the world.
The White House bungled the U.S. response by failing to stockpile test kits and medical supplies, insisting that a travel ban with China would protect Americans. It didn't. After initially sending aid to Italy, federal officials are now frantically trying to buy masks and other critically needed gear from other countries to cover shortages at home.
Meanwhile, Beijing and Washington squabbled over which country was to blame.
In China, officials initially tried to cover up the Wuhan outbreak and rebuffed U.S. and United Nations offers to send scientists to help study the virus. The Chinese Foreign Ministry spread a conspiracy theory, unsupported by evidence, that visiting U.S. soldiers had introduced it.
Secretary of State Michael R. Pompeo called his counterpart in Beijing to complain, and launched a broad attack on Xi's government.
"The Chinese Communist Party poses a substantial threat to our health and way of life, as the Wuhan virus clearly has demonstrated," Pompeo told reporters, blasting Beijing for providing assistance to other countries and then "claiming that they are now the white hat."
Pompeo also created a needless diplomatic flap last week by demanding that the Group of 7 democracies blame the pandemic on the "Wuhan virus" in a joint communique intended to show global powers standing shoulder to shoulder during a global crisis.
The other G-7 countries refused and the joint statement was shelved. As a result, a once-powerful coalition led by the United States was visibly disunited.
Trump chairs the G-7 this year, but diplomats said he didn't convene a videoconference of its leaders until France's Emmanuel Macron repeatedly nudged him to.
That's not leadership.
Pompeo is right about the facts. China did try to cover up the initial outbreak. Its Communist Party does lead a brutally authoritarian regime.
But he is ignoring our allies' needs. European countries in the grips of the deadly pandemic want China's help. They don't want to score rhetorical points against Beijing; they need to stay on Xi's good side.
China's apparent recovery, coupled with the White House disarray, has given Xi an opportunity to win hearts and minds around the world. When people are sick, they don't care where the medicine comes from. Xi is simply doing what any normal big-power leader would do: working to expand his country's influence.
The problem isn't that China is acting more like a global leader. It's that the United States is acting less like one.
The State Department offered aid to more than two dozen countries, but it's been virtually invisible, both because he's preoccupied with the pandemic at home and because he shows such disdain for alliances and international organizations.
China's still recovering from its outbreak. Although its economy is the world's second-largest, its military is far smaller than America's. It has fewer allies. It limits access to the internet, jails dissidents and recently expelled journalists from major U.S. news organizations.
And Beijing's aid offensive hasn't been error-free. There has been a backlash in parts of Europe against clumsy Chinese efforts to mix humanitarian aid with commercial deals, like the electronic giant Huawei's shipments of surgical masks to countries where it's seeking big contracts.
"I'd say both the U.S. and China are playing the soft-power game very poorly," Susan A. Thornton, a former State Department China expert, told me.
"Trying to use a disaster response to score political points is tricky," she said. "When thousands of people are dying, you'd better be seen to be doing everything you can to save lives and cooperate, or you're not going to win any hearts and minds."
If the question is which political or economic model has been most effective in fighting the pandemic, the answer is neither China nor the United States. The places that have fared best so far are well-run democracies with sophisticated healthcare networks that did lots of early testing: South Korea, Taiwan, possibly Germany.
Like any other global cataclysm, the pandemic appears likely to change the balance of power — depending partly on which countries recover quickly.
So far, China appears to have increased its influence; how much isn't clear. It has made the United States look ineffective; how durably isn't clear.
It has made traditional institutions of international cooperation, like the U.N. and the G-7, look irrelevant as a medical catastrophe and economic carnage pose dangers to global stability.
That makes the most likely outcome a world in which nobody's a winner.

Challenge OFAC's SDN Listing
OFAC: "Treasury Sanctions Members of a Chinese Synthetic Drug Trafficking Organization"
The U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control on July 29, 2014 released the following:
"Sanctions Target Manufacturer, Owner, and Associates Responsible for Shipping Thousands of Kilograms of Synthetic Drugs and Controlled Substances Worldwide
WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of the Treasury today designated members of a synthetic drug trafficking organization led by Chinese national Zhang Lei (a.k.a. Eric Chang) under the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act (Kingpin Act). Through his company, CEC Limited, Zhang manufactures and sells substances over the internet to consumers internationally, including bath salts (mephedrone), other synthetic psychoactive substances, and chemicals that can be combined with other substances to create synthetic psychoactive substances (precursors). In addition to designating Zhang, the Treasury Department also designated today CEC Limited and three other individuals who work for the company and Zhang. As a result of today's action, all assets of those designated today that are based in the United States or are in control of U.S. persons are frozen, and U.S. persons are generally prohibited from engaging in transactions with them.
"Global synthetic drug suppliers like Zhang Lei have fueled an epidemic of hospitalizations, paralysis, and deaths, especially among young adults," said Adam J. Szubin, Director of the Office of Foreign Assets Control. "We intend to disrupt these networks' operations and deny them the ability to conduct international trade."
For over a decade, Zhang has shipped thousands of kilograms of synthetic drugs and controlled substances, including mephedrone, into the United States and other countries – including Australia, Austria, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and Italy. According to its website, Zhang's company, CEC Limited, is a manufacturer of various chemical compounds. The company has been the source of supply for synthetic drugs sent throughout the United States and Europe. Shipments to the United States earned Zhang roughly $30 million. As the United States and other countries banned new psychoactive substances, Zhang and his associates developed replacement chemicals or used fraudulent shipping labels to continue to traffic illicit narcotics. Chinese authorities arrested Zhang on November 7, 2013 under charges of teaching criminal methods to others.
Other individuals designated today include Chinese nationals Wang Guoying, Zhang Jicheng, and Hu Yongan. Wang Guoyang is Zhang Lei's mother and part owner of CEC Limited. She received of hundreds of thousands of dollars in payments for illicit synthetic substances. The other two individuals, Zhang Jicheng and Hu Yongan, are employees of CEC Limited and had previously been incarcerated in the United Kingdom for their role in establishing a clandestine laboratory in the United Kingdom for the industrial-scale production of synthetic drugs.
Today's action is the result of a joint investigation by OFAC and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). These designations complement law enforcement actions through the DEA's Project Synergy, an ongoing investigation of worldwide synthetic drug manufacturers and distributors.
Since June 2000 more than 1,600 individuals and entities have been named pursuant to the Kingpin Act for their role in international narcotics trafficking. Penalties for violations of the Kingpin Act range from civil penalties of up to $1.075 million per violation to more severe criminal penalties. Criminal penalties for corporate officers may include up to 30 years in prison and fines up to $5 million. Criminal fines for corporations may reach $10 million. Other individuals face up to 10 years in prison and fines pursuant to Title 18 of the United States Code for criminal violations of the Kingpin Act.

"Great place to shop - Noisy to live"
East Hallandale Beach Blvd consists of the street between US1 and Collins Ave. It is an excellent place for shopping as it includes tons of shops and grocery stores.
On the eastern part of the street, you have the bridge to get onto Collins Ave. Just west of the bridge you have Walmart, subway, a burger king, dollar store, and many more shops. The street just next to it is Three Islands Blvd, which is a beautifully landscaped area to live if you're looking to live closeby.
As you continue going west, you have a local Winn Dixie and Publix, Panera Bread, Quiznos, Hometown Buffet, and a few local owned restaurants, which concludes that it is a wonderful place to eat out.
There are 2 newly built condominiums just North of E Hallandale Beach Blvd. They make a wonderful accent to this street. The transit system is the most easily accessible on this road, with a straight shot to downtown Miami.
Also conveniently located is Bank of America, Wachovia, Flanagans, and many more shops which makes this a great place when you need to shop for just about anything.

Changes in the distribution of mangroves in the Port Jackson-Parramatta River Estuary from 1930 to 1985.
C A Thorogood
About C
Fisheries Research Institute NSW Department of Agriculture PO Box 21 Cronulla NSW 2230.
The Division of Fisheries is mapping the historical distribution of estuarine vegetation in a number of estuaries as part of an Estuarine Inventory of New South Wales. This preliminary report outlines the changes in distribution of mangroves in the Port Jackson-Parramatta River Estuary from 1930 to 1985. The Port Jackson-Parramatta River estuary is a ria (drowned river valley) on the coast of NSW, surrounded by the cities of Sydney and Parramatta. It is composed of three arms – Middle Harbour, the Lane Cove River, and Parramatta River/Duck Creek, and a deep harbour in which they converge (see fig. 1). Two species of mangrove grow in this estuary, Avicennia marina, the grey mangrove, and Aegiceras corniculatum, the river mangrove.

George Jenkins is the founder of Publix grocery stores in the time of 1930 in his home town that is in Florida when he was only of 22 years of age.Here you will learn about Publixsurvey. It was so successful that he actually opened many other branches in another 5 years later on the other side of the town. No doubt that his dream was to have a large, amazing and beautiful supermarket store that he fulfilled by an opening an air-conditioned, a firm and superb glass and stucco super market that was introduced in 1940, he had to close both of his other stores to do at the time.
By the time of 1945 he was able keep on expanding his tribe by the purchase of small stores, replacing all of them with his grand Publix vision and expanding his dream.
In the present day publixsurvey and Publix has grown and is still rapidly growing over in almost 1000 stores that are opened by George when he was 22 in his small Florida hometown.
