How to cite a research paper in a paper
All sorts of academic papers need to be cited using citation styles like MLA, APA, Chicago, and others. Citation/reference styles such as those mentioned above can be used as rules for writing various academic papers and other literary pieces. Therefore, it is very necessary to understand the citation/reference style needed for each essay or any other academic writing before you start crafting. Such an understanding will help you avoid things like wrong formatting, plagiarism and low grades, or even outright failure.
This article discusses how to cite a research paper in a paper as well as other style formatting tips. Note that this is not a comprehensive presentation. More details can be obtained by consulting each of the mentioned style guides.
APA research paper format
The American Psychological Association (APA) research format is commonly used in papers related to social sciences and psychology. There is a general pattern in referencing through footnotes or endnotes, reference pages, and in-text citations in this style. There are also general writing guidelines when citing academic papers in APA format.
Papers should be typed, double-spaced on a standard-sized paper, 8.5 by 11 inches with a margin of 1 inch on either side.
Use a vibrant font that is highly readable. In APA, format font size 12 and Times New Roman font type are mainly used.
You can also include a page header at the top of every page.
On the page header, insert the page numbers on the top right.
Write the title of your paper in the header level left using UPPER CASE.
The page header is a condensed version of a paper's title and should not exceed 50 characters, including punctuation and spacing.
The cover page may include the paper's title, the author's name, and institutional affiliation. Additional information may be of need, like the instructor name, course title, and date.
APA format research paper has four major parts, namely:
Main body.

There are particular guidelines to follow when citing a paper in APA format. The following are a selection of some specific formats to follow:
When citing a book in print format: Author, (Publication Year). Work title. Publisher City, State: Publisher.
Example: Jerry A. (1970). Science and technology. New York, NY: John and Stresser.
Magazine (print): Author, A.A… (Year, Publication Month). Article Title. Magazine Title, Volume (Issue), pp.-pp.
Example: Kimani, A. (2006, April). To vote, or not to vote? Time 121(9), 7-16.
Website: Author, A.A. (Year, Month, Publication Date). Article title. Retrieved from URL.
Example: Peter, B. (2011, March 9). The city of God. Retrieved from (link).
MLA research paper format
The Modern Language Association (MLA) format was originally designed for researchers, students, and other academics in disciplines like literature and languages. Since then, its usage has expanded significantly in scope to include the entire Humanities, Liberal arts, and beyond. The 8th edition of the style guide (the most current) was published in 2016.
Some MLA formatting guidelines
8.5 × 11 inches standard white paper
1inch margins on all sides
Times New Roman 12-point font
Double spacing.

One hundred and fifty years later, the Dred Scott decision still steams Alveda King.
Slaves, according to the 1857 Supreme Court ruling, weren't citizens. Instead, according to the court, they were property.
But a second Supreme Court decision - the 1973 Roe v. Wade case that legalized abortion - riles her just as much. Talking at a Juneteenth celebration on Sunday in Fountain's John Metcalfe Park, King said the ruling paved the way for a different form of slavery - one that has endured long past the Emancipation Proclamation.
"Civil rights begins with human rights," said King, the niece of Martin Luther King Jr. "From conception until natural death, for everybody.
Breaking into a cappella gospel, King led an impromptu worship service Sunday at the Juneteenth Caribbean Heritage Festival, where King implored people to remember the holiday's meaning of freedom, amid songs and sermons.
"If your light won't shine, please don't put out mine," sang King, beginning her 50-minute speech.
"Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine," replied the audience, their voices resounding from the pavilion.
Juneteenth marks the June 19, 1865 landing of Union soldiers in Galveston, Texas to free the slaves, who had been held nearly 2 1/2 years past the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation, which is widely regarded as the end of slavery in the United States.
Sunday's Juneteenth celebration stood out from the 19 previous celebrations organized by James Tucker, a local civil rights activist, as it was meant to also honor National Caribbean Heritage Month.
While many slaves in the 16th and 17th centuries were shipped from Africa to the southern colonies in America, many more were brought to South America and the Caribbean.
"We're all connected, and most people don't know their history," Tucker said.
And in channeling that same message of unity, King preached a sermon focused on abortion that drew largely from her experience.
King had two abortions and a miscarriage roughly 30 years ago. But she has since dedicated much of her public life to anti-abortion causes.
There are parallels, King said, between those decisions by her children, and slavery.


(Sky News)- Four-time Olympic champion Mo Farah has received his knighthood from the Queen at Buckingham Palace.
Britain's most decorated athlete arrived at the palace with wife Tania on Tuesday having been knighted during the New Year Honours in January for services to athletics.
Since then Sir Mo has achieved more success, winning gold in the 10,000m at the World Championships in London in August.
He also secured a silver medal in the 5,000m, which ended an unbroken streak of 10 global final wins stretching back to 2011.
On receiving his knighthood, Sir Mo said: "I'm so happy to be awarded this incredible honour from the country that has been my home since I moved here at the age of eight."
The Somali-born runner, who has clinched 10 international titles, is now moving back to London from the United States to concentrate on running road marathons, having retired from the track after the championships in the capital.
He split from controversial coach Alberto Salazar, who has been accused of breaking anti-doping rules while training athletes at the Nike Oregon Project, where Sir Mo had been coached since 2011.
Mr Salazar is being investigated by the US Anti-Doping Agency and has denied any wrongdoing.
Sir Mo has not been accused of any wrongdoing and is now working with Gary Lough, who previously coached women's marathon world record holder Paula Radcliffe.
Also due to receive an honour at the palace was Delia Smith, as a member of the Order of the Companions of Honour for services to cookery, and Rosa Monckton, a friend of Princess Diana, receiving an MBE for voluntary and charitable services to people with learning difficulties and their families in the UK and abroad.
Model Erin O'Connor was awarded an MBE for services to fashion and charity, and actress Patricia Hodge an OBE for services to drama.

So the new SS16 collection from The WhitePepper is pretty dreamy. I took some snaps styling some pieces from the collection for their upcoming lookbook which is super exciting! I picked out my favourites (which was so hard as it's all so amaze) including this amazing denim dress. I'm obsessed with frayed denim at the moment so it was perfect, I decided to style it as a jacket for a more 'me' look.
Culottes are a summer staple of mine, I pretty much live in them during the summer months so I can definitely see myself getting a lot of wear out of these. You can also buy them in red, for those who prefer a splash of colour.
I think the gingham top is the cutest item in my wardrobe right now. I just love the sleeve detail and I can't wait to take this on holiday with me to wear out for dinner in the evenings! Is it bad I'm already mentally planning my holiday wardrobe? I think I'm just desperate for some sunshine. Counting down the days!

Anita Pallenberg (6 April 1942 – 13 June 2017) was a German-Italian actress, artist, and model. A style icon and "It Girl" of the 1960s and 1970s, Pallenberg was credited as the muse of the Rolling Stones: she was the romantic partner of the Rolling Stones founder, multi-instrumentalist Brian Jones, and later, from 1967 to 1980, the partner of Stones guitarist Keith Richards, with whom she had three children.

Early life
Pallenberg was born on  6 April 1942 in Rome, the daughter of Arnold "Arnaldo" Pallenberg, a German-Italian sales agent, amateur singer, and hobbyist painter, and Paula Wiederhold, a German embassy secretary. The family was separated because of World War II, and she did not see her father until she was three years old. Her father later sent her to a boarding school in Germany so that she would learn the language. She became fluent in four languages at an early age.

Pallenberg was expelled from school when she was 16, after which she spent time in Rome with the Dolce Vita crowd, and then went to New York City to hang out with Andy Warhol's Factory. She then began her career as a fashion model in Paris. She studied medicine, picture restoration and graphic design without ever completing a degree. Before settling in London, she had lived in Germany and her native Rome, as well as in New York City, where she was active in the Living Theatre, starring in the play Paradise Now, which featured onstage nudity, and Andy Warhol's Factory.

Film and fashion
Pallenberg appeared in over a dozen films over a 40-year span. One of her first appearances was as the Great Tyrant in Roger Vadim's science fiction film Barbarella (1968); however, the character's actual voice was dubbed by Joan Greenwood. She played the sleeper wife of Michel Piccoli in Dillinger Is Dead (1969), directed by Marco Ferreri. Pallenberg also had roles in the German crime thriller A Degree of Murder (1967), which featured music composed by Brian Jones; the cult film Candy (1968) as James Coburn's possessive nurse; Volker Schlöndorff's Michael Kohlhaas – Der Rebell (1969), which was filmed in Slovakia; and the avant-garde Performance (1970), in which she played the role of Pherber. Performance was shot in 1968, but a nervous studio delayed its release.

Pallenberg appeared in a documentary about the Rolling Stones, Sympathy for the Devil (1968), directed by French filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard. In an interview she gave The Independent, which published it on 16 March 2007, she related her encounters in Rome while La Dolce Vita (1960) was being filmed, with its director Federico Fellini, other filmmakers such as Luchino Visconti and Pier Paolo Pasolini, and with the novelist Alberto Moravia.

In 1985, for the video of "Wild Boys," Duran Duran used a clip of Pallenberg from
Barbarella. She portrayed "The Queen" in the comedy-drama Mister Lonely by Harmony Korine, and played a character named Sin in Go Go Tales (both 2007).

In the 1990s, Pallenberg returned to education to study fashion. She graduated from Central Saint Martins in London in 1994 with a fashion and textile degree. However, she decided not to forge ahead with a career in fashion, finding it too cut-throat and cruel.

Pallenberg has been portrayed several times by other performers. Monet Mazur played a young Pallenberg in the film Stoned (2005), a biographical film about the last year of Brian Jones's life, while the NBC television show Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip (2006) included a story arc in which the character Harriet Hayes was hired to play Pallenberg in a film.

The Rolling Stones

Romantic relationships
Pallenberg is known for her romantic involvement with Rolling Stones band members Brian Jones and later Keith Richards. Pallenberg first met the band in 1965 in Munich, where she was working on a modelling assignment. Jones spoke German and they began a friendship that turned into a two-year relationship. She later recalled that they took a lot of acid during this time, but it caused Jones to have nightmares. She ended her relationship with Jones in 1967 after he became violent toward her during a vacation in Morocco, where he was then hospitalised. He died in 1969.

In Morocco, Keith Richards saw Jones assaulting Pallenberg, and pulled her away and then took her back to England, where she moved in with him. She and Richards began a relationship that lasted until 1980, although they never married. Richards' lifestyle was not conducive to fatherhood, Pallenberg later explained. She was trying to raise their two young children but Richards was up all night and slept all day. Richards eventually was able to detox himself from drugs and stay clean, but Pallenberg continued to use them. This was what ended their relationship, according to Richards' 2010 autobiography. In 1981, after Richards and Pallenberg had split up, Richards stated that he still loved Pallenberg and saw her as much as he ever did, although he had already met his future wife, Patti Hansen.

There were rumours that Pallenberg also had a brief affair with Mick Jagger during the filming of Performance and Keith Richards states in his autobiography Life that it happened. However, Pallenberg denied the affair, both in March 2007 when Performance was released on DVD and again during an interview in 2008.

Influence on the Rolling Stones
Pallenberg's burgeoning relationship with Jones helped renew his confidence and encourage him to experiment musically as the band were recording their 1966 album Aftermath, while her intelligence and sophistication both intimidated and elicited envy from the other Stones. Pallenberg played an unusual role in the male-dominated world of rock music in the late 1960s, with Jagger respecting her opinion enough for tracks on Beggars Banquet to be remixed after she criticised them. In the 2002 compilation release of Forty Licks, Pallenberg is credited as singing background vocals on "Sympathy for the Devil".

Tony Sanchez's account of his time as Richards's bodyguard and drug dealer mentions Pallenberg's strange spiritual practices: "She was obsessed with black magic and began to carry a string of garlic with her everywhere — even to bed — to ward off vampires. She also had a strange mysterious old shaker for holy water which she used for some of her rituals. Her ceremonies became increasingly secret, and she warned me never to interrupt her when she was working on a spell." Sanchez goes on to describe Anita as having been "like a life-force, a woman so powerful, so full of strength and determination that men came to lean on her". Jo Bergman, who was the band's personal assistant from 1967 to 1973, said of Pallenberg: "Anita is a Rolling Stone. She, Mick, Keith and Brian were the Rolling Stones. Her influence has been profound. She keeps things crazy."

Richards says she shared his addiction to heroin; she was charged first in the 1977 Toronto heroin arrest that led to Richards being arrested on charges that could have led to a lengthy prison sentence. A warrant for Pallenberg's arrest was the reason police came to search the pair's hotel rooms; she pleaded guilty to marijuana possession and was convicted and fined several weeks after Richards's arrest.

Pallenberg spent a lot of time with singer Marianne Faithfull, Jagger's girlfriend in the late 1960s, who remained a friend of Pallenberg. They appeared together in the fourth series (2001) of the BBC sitcom Absolutely Fabulous in episode four, "Donkey", with Faithfull playing God and Pallenberg the Devil.

Death of Scott Cantrell
On 20 July 1979, a 17-year-old boy, Scott Cantrell, shot himself in the head in Pallenberg's bed with a gun owned by Keith Richards, while at the South Salem, New York, house shared by Richards and Pallenberg. The youth had been employed as a part-time groundsman at the estate and was involved in a sexual relationship with Pallenberg. Richards was in Paris recording with the Rolling Stones, but his son was at the house when the teen killed himself. Pallenberg was arrested; however, the death was ruled a suicide in 1980, despite rumours that she and Cantrell had been playing a game of Russian roulette. The police investigation stated that Pallenberg was not on the same floor of the house at the time the fatal shot was fired.

Personal life
Pallenberg and Richards together had three children: son Marlon Leon Sundeep (born 10 August 1969), daughter Dandelion Angela (who goes by her middle name; born 17 April 1972), and a son Tara Jo Jo Gunne (26 March – 6 June 1976). Tara Jo Jo died in his cot ten weeks after birth; the cause of death has been stated as SIDS or pneumonia.

Pallenberg later stated that she first became pregnant in 1968, but that she was pressured to have an abortion so she could take part in the film Performance, which caused her to feel extremely resentful. She became pregnant again with Marlon during the filming.

After Tara Jo Jo's death, Keith's mother blamed Pallenberg and said she was an unfit mother, and took Angela to live with her. Pallenberg raised Marlon mostly on the road with the band, teaching him to read and write. When Marlon was eight, she moved into a house on Long Island, New York, so he could have a more routine life and go to school. In later years, she lived in Chelsea, London, but spent the winters in Jamaica.

At one point she expressed interest in writing a memoir but decided to not go ahead with it. "The publishers want to hear only about the Stones and more dirt on Mick Jagger and I'm just not interested", she said in 2008. "I had several publishers and they were all the same. They all wanted salacious. And everybody is writing autobiographies and that's one reason why I'm not going to do it. If young Posh Spice can write her autobiography, then I don't want to write one!"

Health problems
Pallenberg suffered from hepatitis C, and had two hip surgeries, including a hip replacement, which caused her to walk with a limp. After detoxing in the early 1980s, Pallenberg abstained from drug use but later had a relapse. In 2014, she said she had been 14 years sober from drugs. She stopped drinking in 1987, but had a relapse with alcohol in 2004 after her second hip surgery. She regularly attended AA meetings. In August 2016, she told Alain Elkann in an interview when asked about growing old, "I am ready to die. I have done so much here. My Mum died at 94. I don't want to lose my independence. Now I am over 70 and to be honest I did not think I would live over 40".

Death
Pallenberg died on 13 June 2017, aged 75, due to complications from hepatitis C. She is survived by her two children and five grandchildren.

Development of more efficient feeding techniques and formulation of feeds that include less fishmeal is expected to lower the amount of fish meal protein needed to produce a given amount of high-valued carnivorous species like shrimps and salmon.
The major aquatic animal protein meals and lipids are, in terms of global production and market availability, for fish and shellfish meals and oils. They can be produced from whole fish, fish remains or other fish by-products. Around 25 percent of fishmeal and fish oil was produced from by-products in 2009, and this amount has been increasing around 1–2 percent per year (FAO, 2012). About 35 percent of world fishmeal production was obtained from fish excesses in 2012 (FAO 2014). Two of the main stocks of anchoveta in the Southeast Pacific, Alaska pollock (Theragrachalcogramma) in the North Pacific and Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) stocks in both the Northeast and Northwest Atlantic are fully fished. Chub mackerel (Scomberjaponicus) stocks are fully fished in both the Eastern Pacific and the Northwest Pacific; most of the pelagic stocks are considered either fully fished or overfished (FAO, 2014). Overfishing leads to negative ecological consequences and reduces fish production, which further causes negative social and economic consequences.
To reduce the pressure on wild fish stocks, different alternatives are and have been studied for marine raw materials and many of these alternatives have shown to be promising.
Insects tend to have high protein and fiber content, as well as excellent amino acid compositions. Studies have shown insects nurtured on waste can be transformed into protein feed material and used as substitute for fishmeal. Moreover, this does not affect growth rates or palatity, although performance depends on the specific fish and insect species used. Insect meal is presently ten times more expensive than other protein feeds. However, insect meals could become price competitive in the future as there is considerable potential for reducing the price by increasing the scale and efficiency of production.
Microalgae have shown to be promising alternative to the conventional marine originated ingredients in fish feeds; these have though been limited to DHA-producing species. Production of n-3 LC-PUFA by microalgae has mainly focused on species like Schizochytrium, Crypthecodinium and Ulkena that are cultured by fermentation under controlled environment. This production is still in development stage, and production volumes are low and cost is high, far more expensive than for fish oil and meal.
Microalgae will likely become available as a feed ingredient in the future, but for now, they are unlikely to fulfill aquaculture demands for n-3 LC-PUFA, as will alternative marine sources of n-3 LC-PUFA, such as krill and calanoid copepods. Production volumes are expected to be low, and there is a concern over sustainability and that harvesting down the trophic chain may have negative effect on higher trophic species reliant on these zooplanktons.
Schizochytrium limacinum meal can be used as the central lipid source in diets for giant grouper (Epinephelus lanceolatus), containing 40% soy and algal ingredients; it returned similar growth as feed based on fish ingredients. Higher DHA:EPA ratios in fish fillet are found with increased use of S. limacinum meal in the feed. It is suggested that a blend of soybean meal, soy protein concentrate, and S. limacinum can substitute at least 40% of marine protein sources, without significantly affecting fish performance or condition, and it is possible to use it as the main lipid source in feed for E. lanceolatus (García-Ortega et al., 2016).
Norwegian seaweed like P. palmata can be used for production of feed. The combination of beneficial compounds and compounds possessing potential health risks are evident in several of the analyzed species. Both the red alga V. lanosa and the brown alga (A. esculenta) could serve as a good protein sources, but the level of iodine (V. lanosa) and arsenic (A. esculenta) complicate the utilization of the whole plant as algae meal. That will cost extraction of single compounds, such as proteins, minerals and/or fatty acids, for use as ingredients in feed production (Mæhre et al., 2014).
It has been found that an addition of 4 and 8% of brown seaweed meal (from a cultivated system) and green seaweed meal (from natural stocks) in commercial shrimp feed sustained sufficient growth, and survival of juvenile L. vannamei reared in intensive RAS (Cárdenas et al., 2015). Amaya et al. (2007) showed that fishmeal can be completely replaced using vegetable protein sources in practical shrimp feeds without negotiating production and economic outcome of pond reared L. vannamei.
It also has been proved that genetically engineered Camelina (C. sativa) can be a realistic source of n-3 LC-PUFA and could substitute fish oil (FO) in feed and provide sufficient levels of important fatty acids in farmed fish that could sustain their nutritional quality for the human consumers. Betancor et al. (2015), found that, Camelina oil, containing 20% EPA was suitable for feeding Atlantic salmon and sustained the same nutritional quality of the fillet, as fed with high levels of EPA and DPA. Lazzarotto et al. (2015) found that trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) fed a 100% plant-based diet over a 3-year breeding cycle can produce ova and viable alevins.
Two different commercial types of seaweed meal have been tested for Arctic charr and Tilapia. No negative effects were found on growth and feed utilization. Moreover, Rainbow trout, fed with Blue Mussel meal did not show negative effect in terms of growth, feed utilization or physical parameters and found to be comparable to fishmeal as protein source in feed (Arnason et al., 2015). Blue mussel meal and seaweed meal are interesting and sustainable ingredients in fish feed in the Nordic countries, as these raw materials are locally present and therefore can lower the carbon footprint of fish feed in the area.
The availability of micro algae for use as feed ingredients still needs a way to go before it will be a real alternative as raw material in fish feed production, but the outlook is promising. Development of more efficient feeding techniques and formulation of feeds that include less fishmeal is expected to lower the amount of fish meal protein needed to produce a given amount of high-valued carnivorous species like shrimps and salmon. For more sustainable production, the effort should also be on other species such as carps, tilapia and catfish.

Home › Uncategorized › RSAT Tools on an App Volume?
App Volumes is probably one of the coolest technologies out right now. When VMware bought them, the first thing I thought is that we now finally have the means to control the virtual desktop, soup to nuts. We can make minute changes, have versioning, and quickly react to new challenges presented to us in various use cases.
Administrators for a long time have wanted the granularity of complete control of applications on a desktop, but that control leads to issues when managing at scale with traditional architecture. App Volumes gives us the ability to get down and dirty. To try various setups and ultimately allow for the flexibility of layering applications. But what happens if what we want to put in an App Volume isn't an application at all? What if you want to enable operating system features like Microsoft Remote Server Administration Tools?
To enable RSAT Tools in an App Stack, install the above Windows Update on both the provisioning PC and the Gold Image that is used as the parent machine for your vdi pool. Create a new App Stack or update an existing Stack and attach it to the provisioning machine. Head over to the Control Panel, open Programs and Features, and click on Turn Windows features on or off. Under Windows Features, choose Remote Server Administration Tools, and then enable the features you want users that will subscribe to the App Stack to have. At this point, you can finish the provisioning, and reboot the provisioning machine. The only thing left to do is attach the App Stack to a user desktop and test the functionality.
Loving all this App Volume testing and postings. Great to see how people are leveraging it, working through it and validating it. Would love to see reference architecture from VMware on it and multi-site configuration settings now that Cloud-Pod is in the world. Very curious how writeable volumes will be approached and embraced with persona management for user data, and writeable volumes for that app data (app local). That way we could leverage DFS/DFS-R for desktop, documents and bulkier data on CIFS storage and App specific data/user installed applications on Faster disk to provide that instant gratification for end users.
In our installation, we utilize the gold image for the pool for the capture machines. If the gold image gets updated, then the capture machines do too. For RSAT, we mounted the AppStack (an IT department appstack) installed the RSAT tools (Windows patch) and then enabled the tools with the dism commands.
two ways to skin a cat, both get the job done!
Just installed this yesterday, but in a bit different fashion. We utilize the base or Golden Image for the pool as the capture machine. If the base gets changed, the capture machine does too. For RSAT, we updated out IT department AppStack, and provisioned it to our capture machines. We then installed the RSAT Windows Update mentioned, and enabled the toos using the dism commands on the command line.
Two ways to skin a cat, both get the same thing done!
It appears that in AppVolumes v2.11 installing RSAT into an appstack only works partially. AD features seemed to work fine, but the MMC failed to show settings for GPOs in the settings tab. As a solution, we implemented the OP suggested and installed RSAT in the base and enabled the features in the IT Dept AppStack.

Q: Adding zeros after the decimal on a form I'm hoping to solve this in pure html. I suspect a solution may not exist, and I'm willing to learn a PHP solution. If that doesn't exist either, I'll learn whatever language I must.
Take the following form for example
<form>
    Price $<input type="number" name="price">

</form>

It may not immediately be obvious to the user that this field accepts cents as well as dollars. (By, for example, typing 1.1 for $1.10.)
The same issue will come up when I ask a customer how many kilograms they wish to order, it won't immediately be obvious to them that they can order 100 grams by typing "0.1"
What I would like is for the field to start as ".00" with the curser appearing on the left when clicked, but as soon as the user types "." it will overwrite the existing ".". When the user types further numbers, the first two digits should overwrite the existing 0s, and further digits will be disabled.
This way, the user will be prompted to consider if they want to specify a certain number of cents (for a price) or grams (for a weight) without a condescending text field explaining what a decimal point is.
Does a html solution exist? If not, what other solutions exist? (I don't know ANY solutions.)
Example
There seems to be some confusion among my answers as to what I'm asking for, so I created a quick and dirty example:
<!DOCTYPE html>

    <form>

        Price $<input style="text-align:right" type="number" name="price" value=".00">
    </form>

(I know, style attribute inside a tag, I'm going to hell to burn for eternity.)
Using this, and photoshop, I created a simulation of the functionality I wanted, comic book style.
As shown, I already know how to get the initial state. I thought this might be possible with one quick piece of code, but if it can't, I have broken the question down into its core components below:

*

*How do I move the cursor to a in front of the decimal point when the user clicks to the right of the decimal point?

*How do I make the text overwrite the initial decimal point with a new decimal point, and have it continue to overwrite?

*How do I disallow extra decimal points?

*How do I disallow the user from writing more than a predetermined number of digits? (two, in the example shown above)

*How do I automatically replace characters deleted (by backspace for example) with a 0?

Up-votes to anyone who can answer at least one of the questions above, or at least reveals a valuable insight towards answering one of the questions above.
Sorry, this question is getting more complex than I initially thought it was.
Update
I'm beginning to expect a PHP solution doesn't exist either. I'm still quite new to coding, so I could be completely wrong, but this is why:
PHP is a server side language, and this task requires live instantaneous functionality on the client's end without waiting for a server to validate their request to delete a decimal point.
This functionality is too specific and advanced for html and CSS. Therefore, it must be achieved through something else. I'll still leave this question up here, in case anyone wants to have a stab at the answer, but my knowledge of other languages (like JavaScript) isn't quite advanced enough to compile individual core component answers into one final functional answer... yet.
So I'm going to busy myself updating my website using the skills I have for the tasks that require doing. Even when I'm ready to learn a new language, this is too advanced a problem to tackle straight away. But, when I'm learning new functions, if I discover something that will solve this problem, I'll post the full code back here for the community to reference in future.


How do I create a Facebook Audience?

GILPIN COUNTY—From 5 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, July 31, CDOT will host a public meeting about permanent flood repairs on Colorado Highway 72 (Coal Creek Canyon). CDOT will discuss the project's scope and potential travel impacts, and will provide the public the opportunity to ask questions, discuss concerns, and provide feedback.
This section of CO 72 provides access from the west side of the Denver metro area through Coal Creek Canyon to Nederland. There are a number of private residences and businesses throughout the canyon, directly off the highway.
Intense rain in the mountain terrain of the Coal Creek watershed in 2013 carried large amounts of debris and sediment, which inundated the creek, the highway's roadside ditches and drainage structures. The creek's high flows eroded the highway embankments in several places, undermining and washing out the roadway itself.
Additionally, the large amount of debris blocked drainage structures, which caused overtopping floodwaters to damage pavement, ditches and embankments.
Emergency repairs were widespread along the corridor and consisted of large-scale debris removal, repairing and/or replacing damaged drainage structures, excavation and filing of damaged embankments, and removing and replacing asphalt sections.
Now, crews on this project will repair this section of CO 72 and incorporate improvements to make the roadway more resilient.
re-establishing native grass seed and erosion control to slopes that were disturbed during emergency work.
After analyzing the damage caused during the flood, the project team will incorporate certain design elements to prevent or reduce the magnitude of damage that significant floods can cause. Work could begin in winter 2018 and would be complete by fall 2020.

Steyn Wins ...Again
https://www.steynonline.com/9513/steyn-wins-again
Those following the multiple suits by Blaze/CRTV and Cary Katz vs Mark Steyn and Mark Steyn Enterprises may have spotted this headline from the New York Law Journal:
NY Appellate Court Reverses Denial of Attorney Fees to Conservative Commentator
In its decision, the Appellate Division reinstated over one million dollars in legal fees originally awarded to Mark Steyn Enterprises by Judge Elaine Gordon in the first arbitration Cary Katz's CRTV/Blaze brought against Steyn in 2017. They were then vacated by (now retired) Judge Eileen Bransten of the New York Supreme Court citing the "American Rule" of not awarding legal fees to the prevailing party (as opposed to the "English Rule" in the rest of the Common Law world, in which loser pays). Yesterday's decision reverses the previous reversal:
The New York Supreme Court Appellate Division, First Department reversed a ruling from Manhattan Supreme Court that had previously quashed an arbitrator's decision to award Steyn's lawyers more than $1 million in attorney fees.
Steyn was represented in the arbitration and resulting litigation by Michael Murphy, a partner at Ervin Cohen & Jessup in Beverly Hills, California, and Erin O'Leary, an associate at Fishkin Lucks in Manhattan.
'We are thrilled,' Murphy said. 'We are hopeful that CRTV will be mature and follow through with that as it promotes itself as being a champion of liberty and freedom of contract, and that they will satisfy their contractual obligations and pay this award...'
Melissa Howes, a spokeswoman for Steyn and president of Mark Steyn Enterprises (U.S.) Inc., celebrated Tuesday's decision in a statement, calling it a step toward recouping what they've had to spend on legal representation in recent years.
'The legal fees we have incurred from this continued malicious prosecution and abuse of process is in the millions and growing every day,' Howes said. 'We are gratified that the [Appellate Division] has upheld an award to recoup at least a portion of that.'
Steyn's victory in the original trial was upheld by the New York court in April 2018, but Blaze/CRTV's owner Cary Katz told Steyn he would never pay Judge Gordon's "absurd" award, and re-sued eight days after the court's confirmation. Law Journal's Dan Clark again:
The decision is the latest in what's turned out to be a legal saga between Steyn and CRTV. After Steyn's show was canceled, he posted comments on social media criticizing the network. CRTV then accused Steyn of defamation, which led to a second arbitration.
The arbitrator in that case recently concluded that Steyn's comments, which included calling a founder of CRTV a 'sleazy bum,' didn't amount to defamation and dismissed the network's claims for damages.
The second arbitration decision was issued just last month - again in Steyn's favor, with costs being awarded, and with Blaze/CRTV losing on every single one of almost a hundred claims. As the Arbitrator noted in conclusion (page 45):
The bedrock guarantee of our society is that people should be able to speak and write freely in public. US Const Amend I; NY Const, art I, § 8. CRTV purports to stand for that principle as its 'primary value'. See Tr. at p.1202 II. 9-15 (Alena Charles, Senior VP MP Marketing Blaze Media, Tr. p.1160 11020-23.) Yet, when push came to shove, CRTV sought to constrain that guarantee in a dispute with one of Its former talents.
We have thus far been sued by Blaze/ CRTV and its owner Cary Katz for a combined thirty-five million dollars. Twenty of that has been thrown out in two separate arbitrations - because it was Blaze/CRTV that breached our contract. Fifteen million remains pending in Katz's suit in Nevada.
The so-called "American Rule'" incentivizes the kind of legal terrorism that Blaze/CRTV and Cary Katz continue to engage in - where the guy with the deeper pockets can pursue untold frivolous, baseless, harassing, abusive claims for years on end and not pay a price. The American Rule is at odds with America's founding principles of liberty - a point worth considering on the eve of Independence Day. It should be eliminated in all courtrooms, not just in arbitrations.
For their part, the losers of CRTV/Blaze appear minded to continue fighting, indicating to the New York Law Journal they may appeal, again;
'We continue to believe both awards appealed from were improperly made,' [Blaze/CRTV counsel Jeffrey] Mitchell said. 'This decision speaks to the risks parties take by agreeing to arbitration, and how there is little anyone can do after the fact when an arbitrator makes an erroneous award. This may be an issue for the Court of Appeals to address given the importance of it.'
It was plaintiff CRTV that chose to go to arbitration - both times.
Mark Steyn Enterprises (US) Inc. wishes to thank its legal team: Michael Murphy of Ervin, Cohen & Jessup (California), Erin O'Leary of Fishkin Lucks (New York), Melanie Hill of Melanie Hill Law (Nevada) and corporate counsel/Mark Steyn Cruise host Catherine Clark of Clark, Werner, & Flynn (Vermont). Mark will have more to say on this in the near future.
Bob Belvedere • Jul 5, 2019 at 15:26
As you have said many — justifiably so many — times: The process is the punishment.
And, while the denarii spent by you has been high, I worry that the black cloud Mendacity that has been hanging over your Soul may harm you — if it already hasn't.
Take care of yourself, Mark.
Rich Klein • Jul 5, 2019 at 13:10
Mark, a belated congrats on another win! It's another victory for little guy David vs the bully billionaire Goliath. I hope others who favor David will join the Mark Steyn Club to help keep Goliath on the ground.
Mark replies:
Thank you, Rich. At this stage, the bully billionaire is really just wasting his money. Odd that his lawyers don't seem to tell him that...
Sam Williamson • Jul 4, 2019 at 11:47
Best news of the year!
As Cary & Co. seem disinclined to respect the judgement, you have my undying support until the end of this miserable war. Pity this story is not all over MSM as an example of "The bedrock guarantee of our society is that people should be able to speak and write freely in public." Alas, they are too preoccupied with Trump bashing on Independence Day.
Thomas Gaydos • Jul 4, 2019 at 09:53
I had a dream. Walking out of the the courthouse the opposing attorney shoved a crumpled note in my hand with a scraw "everybody hates him, nobody likes him, he has got to stop eating worms"
Melissa McClure • Jul 4, 2019 at 08:10
Mark:
I AM a lawyer, but please don't tell anyone (it's not something I brag about!) but I only practice in the Child Protective Courts, and I REALLY hope you never find yourself there!
In Spanish, "huevos" means "eggs", but here in Texas (Thank you God for making me a TEXAN) we use that word as slang for "balls". You Mark, have HUEVOS! I stand amazed at your tenacity in your demand for justice. God created a unique man when He created you. There's another saying I like which is "Never wrestle with a greased pig, you'll just get dirty and the pig likes it." I'm the type that doesn't want to get very dirty, but you are the type (along with Trump) who doesn't mind getting dirty, and y'all actually like it BETTER than the pig!
I pray every day that God places a hedge of protection around you and your family and supporters. We need you to inspire us to maybe be willing to get a little dirty or a little dirtier, because the time is coming when we will have to fight for our rights every day. Keep on praying, keep on fighting, keep on winning, keep on inspiring us all!
Your biggest fan in Texas, Melissa McClure

It's so ridiculously complicated and unbalanced the court system over there...
Why aren't you appearing on tucker lately Mark ?
Thanks for your comments Melissa , so looking forward to seeing you all again on the Alaska jaunt !
Thanks, Greg. Re Tucker and telly: I'm some ways distant from a studio at the moment, for one reason and another, but I'll be back in extra-high definition very soon.

Even with the English Rule, I think it is still possible to game the system. When the Blair government woke up one morning and decided to confiscate Railtrack, the share-holders, not entirely surprisingly, objected and decided collectively to sue. The Department of Transport selected Jonathan (now Lord) Sumption to act in its defence. That was a perfectly rational thing to do; Sumption, omnium consensu, possesses one of the best legal brains in the business (the sort of bloke who can hammer out the best modern history of the Hundred Years War, in four volumes, in his spare time). All the same, the government's gambit was cynical, because getting represented by Lord Sumption did not come remotely cheap, and the Railtrack plaintiffs were ordered to prove up front that they would be able to stump up the readies, in the event that their case proved unsuccessful, as it duly did.
Going to law is an expensive business in the UK, if not quite as much so as in the United States. Mohamed al-Fayed, the mysterious former owner of Harrods, and Robert Maxwell, late owner of the Mirror group of unreadable news rags, both had plenty of practice in suing their numerous critics. Quite often, querulous editors and proprietors would refuse to take them on, taking at face value their claims of virtually limitless wealth and hence their ability to inflict serious financial grief on an opponent who lost. Nobody has ever satisfactorily explained where Fayed's wealth came from, while Maxwell's supposedly bottomless money pit proved illusory, although the extent of his fraud could not be comprehensively exposed until after his death, possibly by suicide. Each, nevertheless, was able to intimidate potential critics (or their employers) into silence, just by raising the possibility of legal action.
There are other ways to exploit the system, too. Legal aid is supposed to level the playing field, by enabling the poor to pursue legal remedies, with the costs paid for by the tax-payer. A legally aided plaintiff is not liable for any cost incurred, even if the case is thrown out. There is fairly obvious scope for abuse there. Although legal aid awards are supposed to be time-limited, extensions have been known, and an unscrupulous lawyer can get paid for doing little or no work on a clearly hopeless case.
Perry Pattetic Owen Morgan • Jul 4, 2019 at 17:51
As I recall, Gordon Brown had a dreadful, arrogant (natch) woman aide at the Treasury who dismissed the Railtrack shareholders as old men and women pensioners of no account. The "white" was silent.
Owen Morgan Perry Pattetic • Jul 6, 2019 at 09:42
I think you may be referring to Shriti Vadera, long since elevated to the peerage, because what demands respect, more than displaying contempt for almost every voter in the land?
David O'Neil (Australia) • Jul 3, 2019 at 22:01
That's a well spread legal team you have there Mark. California, Manhattan, Nevada, Vermont, and I'm sure there's more.

The BEST news, hurrah for Mark! Timing is also remarkable - on the eve of Independence Day. I hope your family and employees enjoy a very special 4th of July. The American legal system is truly a living nightmare. Mark's torment by Katz & Mann reminds me of the never-ending supply of judges who stymie every single one of President Trump's efforts to strengthen the Border of this nation we will celebrate tomorrow.

It's comforting to note that the arbitrator in the previous case concurred that, ". . calling a founder of CRTV a 'sleazy bum,' didn't amount to defamation." Nice to have that legal point settled, at least.

Congratulations to Mark and his team! I wonder if there are any lawyers in the Steyn Club who could do some pro-bono work for you, Mark, if these suits continue. (I'm a nurse. I hope you never have need of my services in the near future.)
ed Elizabeth Lorenz • Jul 3, 2019 at 16:29
I don't think they should be pro bono... Katz should pay their fees!
Elizabeth Lorenz ed • Jul 3, 2019 at 17:23
Do you think Mark will ever really get that money?
Well... I'm not a lawyer but I do sort of assume that eventually he will... I've not heard of people not paying their money when ordered to by a court in this type of decision but maybe they don't ... maybe a lawyer could tell us... maybe you're a lawyer?? Unless there's a bankruptcy...
James P ed • Jul 4, 2019 at 12:25
As I understand it Katz is already working the bankruptcy angle through corporate intermediaries. The bottom line though is if Katz has sufficient money or assets Mark should ultimately be able to collect his judgments but Katz can string the process out for a long time with appeals and additional suits as he's doing, then even after that is exhausted (presumably in Mark's favor) the collection process can involve another long series of long legal fights if Katz continues to refuse to pay.
P. Gao • Jul 3, 2019 at 14:51
Very, very good news! How much is this battle worth to a restoring a truly free society? It's priceless. So much tremendous respect for M. Mark and all the people and family who've been engaged in fighting this battle against - what -whom? Entities that pose as 'free speech' and 'science' but are wolves in sheep's clothing? We continually notice the absence of interest from the media, which exposes what it is, not a synonym for free press, but a massive monopoly with the illusion of choice. It thus is deliberately denying access to a greater audience, and thus the power of public support, while craftily discouraging the pysche and spirit - the one who protests is an outlier to be discounted, marginalized, destroyed.
There's plainly more to be done, the fighting troops move forward. Courage!
"Instead of simply being satisfied to making friends and drawing a salary, it is worth doing your duty to the best of your ability, for duty's sake; and in doing this while the indolent sleep, you may accomplish something that will be of real benefit to humanity and worth all the high places that could be bestowed by shrew politicians. Nor you nor I have reason to be ashamed of our work the past two years nor would we think to exchange places with any of the luckier members of the Corps. Verbum sap."
(1903 - Dr. Walter Reed to Dr. WIlliam Gorgas, the conquerers of yellow fever. No thanks to influential members of 'medical' profession who loudly dismissed their work, appealing to political appointees and bureaucrats who tried to belittle, disrupt their efforts and wreck their careers, which would have wrecked the ultimately successful campaign to free the all Americas from Memphis to Rio de Janiero from yellow fever.)
It should always be easy to do the right thing, but in a fallen world, it's not. A person who endured an over-five year battle and social ostracising to bring a serial abuser to justice said, "Never assume to be able to stay comfortable when righting a wrong."
This quote seems wonderfully fitting today: "God doesn't pick perfect men, He picks the perfect man for the job."
Verbum sap!

The experiences of both Mark and Conrad Black in America's courts make me shiver. On the list of Things To Do to recover our American liberty, we will need to include a reawakening of our Courts, both criminal and civil, to return to presumptions of innocence of the accused, swift justice, and justice itself. One of the great inhibitors in America today is the litigious atmosphere, which the Courts encourage, but the People are the true agents, unfortunately, and the Courts echo the message. The recent RoundUp award comes to mind.

Hooray for you and your team Mark. Every time you win, we win too. I think many Americans are finally waking up to the nightmare our justice system has become. You and the Trump administration have been victimized by the left's latest tactic of "lawfare". Shadowy money and shadowy people just keep suing their political opponents until they have nothing left to fight. I don't think they knew much about your character when they decided to try and take you down.
Thank you, Melanie. They should have known: As I always say, I don't settle - I like win or lose. So, if you sue me, you better be prepared to take it all the way.

Doesn't Cary Katz have anyone who can speak in his ear and get him to stop stepping on his own feet (or tail)?

Congratulations on a well-deserved victory. I make no secret or bones about the fact that I love America, but I do find it heartbreaking and frankly anti-American that litigation jihad and medical treatment can bankrupt individual Americans and American families so easily and ruthlessly-and on the legal side so frivolously and capriciously. I find both of these situations quite repugnant. Not sure if that's a Canadian thing, or just a human thing but I wish both would undergo serious reform.
Wm. P. Laura Rosen Cohen • Jul 3, 2019 at 11:46
I would note that the incidence of medical bankruptcy is much less than reported - it's been demonstrated that Elizabeth Warren's (yes, that Elizabeth Warren) study suffered numerous, debilitating flaws.
The abuses of the legal profession are, if anything, understated. Allowing lawyers to make the laws doesn't work well at all.
Perry Pattetic Wm. P. • Jul 3, 2019 at 12:03
Furthermore, the lawyers are responsible for driving up the costs of liability insurance for medical malpractice, which make healthcare expensive.
Our Nation of Laws is a jungle full of lawyers and other predators.
Laura Rosen Cohen Wm. P. • Jul 3, 2019 at 14:23
I wasn't referring to Elizabeth Warren's study but I'm sure it is as you describe. I suspect that medical bankruptcy is actually not that not uncommon because not everyone goes running to the media regarding their most personal health problems and financial ruin.

$15 million still outstanding. Dang! I guess Sleazy Bum figures he just needs to win on $5 million or so to negate what he's been ordered to pay. Sadly, it sort of looks like the end of the tunnel may be located somewhere over the rainbow.
Fantasy scenario: Gambler Sleazy Bum rakes in a monster pot, and while the chips are still stacked in front of him, a sheriff with a court order steps in to confiscate the winnings. Sure would enjoy watching that action on YouTube!

Ross Spence • Jul 3, 2019 at 09:59
As an original Steyn Club member, I am so happy to hear this. While it is only a fraction of your legal fees that have now been reaffirmed, it does make a point that a party contracting for prevailing party to be awarded attorneys' fees or contracting for and seeking arbitration is a party who contracts for the judgment of the arbitrator. In this case the arbitrator found Katz was wrong and caused you damages. Katz has extremely narrow grounds on which to challenge that arbitrator's decision. It sounds like you will be in judgment enforcement mode while he tries to continue his suit against his own company and his newer suits against you. I hope the rate of interest on your judgment against Katz is equal to or higher than he charges on his student loans. I am sorry you are having to go on this very unpleasant detour, but I am glad you are winning.
Margaret Ross Spence • Jul 3, 2019 at 12:14
I'm an original club member too, and I am totally thrilled Mark continues to win in court. But I must confess I can't help but be just a bit glad the whole thing started because we wouldn't have the Mark Steyn Club if it hadn't. I just wish the Mr. Katz had gone away after he lost the first case.
Melissa Howes Ross Spence • Jul 4, 2019 at 08:25
Hi Ross, funny you should ask about interest...it's 9% by statute in New York. Sadly, that's 1% shy of what Cary Katz is earning on his self-suing stunt in Nevada: https://www.steynonline.com/documents/8926.pdf (finding of fact #3)

Allow me to both congratulate you and apologize on behalf of my country for putting you through this, Mark. It is hard to feel anything other than shame for what our legal system has become. And you still have plenty more to look forward to in our halls of justice, don't you?
Well, I can't offer much help, but if you ever need someone to burst out with "I'm out of order?! You're out of order! This whole court is out of order!" or "You want the truth? You can't handle the truth!!!", I'm your guy.

Jerome Skelly • Jul 3, 2019 at 09:14
Would someone explain why "loser pays" prevailed this time?
Because Judge Gordon had a greater latitude in arbitration than she would in court. My own view is that she awarded us the fees because of CRTV's especially egregious conduct. Judge Bransten reversed that because of her "reverence" (rolls eyes) for "the American rule". The appellate judges have now restored it.
Judith Kempen • Jul 3, 2019 at 09:02
Mark-
You are so right. The process is the punishment,thereby creating justice only for the wealthy. If the people want "social justice", this ain't it.
I find it abhorrent that a citizen's life can be ruined simply by taking them to court. We have already seen way too much of that with these uncontrollable special prosecutors.
Brian W. • Jul 3, 2019 at 07:59
I especially enjoyed this nugget from Page 44: "That reduces the final defamation claim to "cockwombles" - which suggests foolishness on the part of the believers as the article itself makes clear with its express etymological analysis. Perhaps the operative foolishness here is in CRTV believing that provides an actionable basis for a defamation claim under New York law."
That last sentence could have been written by you, Mark, and attests the plaintiff is indeed a cockwomble. It's as if the arbitrator finally let loose his own inner Steyn in finale before signing off.
I enjoyed that paragraph, too, Brian. One senses by that point that the Arbitrator is wearying of the sheer stupidity of Blaze TV's case.
Josh Passell Brian W. • Jul 3, 2019 at 10:14
Yes, the best parts of the document are re-reading Steyn's "true facts" and "figurative" and "hyperbolic" opinions as they are given due consideration. Sleazy bum, scofflaw, deadbeat, criminal, pussy hat—all the greatest hits are covered. Perhaps not with the elan of the original artist, but recognizably brilliant nevertheless.
Fran Lavery Josh Passell • Jul 3, 2019 at 12:03

Agreed, particularly as I believe this word was first used by Katie Hopkins. Even Twitter couldn't stop her using it or close her account because of it.
Cockwomble is a wonderfully descriptive word for certain types of people and it's delightful that an arbitrator would use it to declare such utter contempt for CRTV. Marvellous!
Sol • Jul 3, 2019 at 07:47
Congratulations on another win on the free-speech front, Mark, and thank you for steadfastly defending what affects us all.
It would be interesting to discern the true intentions behind this increasingly irrational pursuit. From afar, it looks like the motivation could be irrational hatred. Hatred is something that deserves to be understood. It's a diversion meant to distract, and effectively done so. Hatred doesn't have to have any basis in fact or reality. It often is a cover of some other issue to share moral culpability.
If you hate, you're hoping the perception of that makes you noble.
There needs to be legal protection from an irrational person making the courtroom a field of valor of imaginary heroism to satisfy a personal vendetta.

To steal Trump's phrase, I wonder if Mark ever gets tired of all this winning?
In all seriousness, Mark is correct - the process is the punishment, and our legal system favors the party with deeper pockets. I work at a small business, and in the past five years we've run into one or two situations where a larger company would not honor a contract with us. I like to think of myself as a bulldog who will chase down money, do things by the book, but these vendors or contractors are big enough to justify their own in-house legal teams, and they will dare you to take them to arbitration or court. You don't need to be in my line of work to know that signing on a $5,000 retainer to chase down $2,500 doesn't make much business sense, and that doesn't include the opportunity cost, the time wasted, and the mental anguish
Very true, Richard. Until I came to America, I had never heard of "in-house counsel".
Josh Passell Richard Malaby • Jul 3, 2019 at 06:52

Troops find bringing together various Afghan forces a tough task
Dianna Cahn
KHOST, Afghanistan — If the only task that troops had here was to fight an escalating insurgency, life would be much easier.
Instead, U.S. forces are trying to build a cohesive community out of an array of disparate security and political forces that have differing needs and varying skill levels, so that one day they can stand on their own.
It's proving to be quite a challenge.
Under U.S. guidance, the Afghan National Army has grown to more than 180,000, making it the strongest and best trained of the country's security forces. But even here in the east, where the Afghan army's 203rd Corps is considered among the nation's best-functioning units, there are lapses in discipline and reliability.
Fledgling police forces are rising, but they are still plagued with corruption and a lack of discipline, and are widely unable to secure the inner cities, towns and villages where the Taliban operate. The job is dangerous, and not well paid. And in a conflict that is as much about public trust as military prowess, recruiting new police officers is proving difficult.
The Afghan Border Patrol, a force desperately needed to curb insurgent activity along the extensive frontier with Pakistan, is in its infancy. Launched less than two years ago, some units are operating and more are being trained.
And while the NDS, the Afghan intelligence service, gathers a regular stream of information, reports aren't always acted on.
"We hear a lot of reports," the agency's regional leader, who keeps his identity hidden, said during a recent meeting set up to foster cooperation among forces. "We need to take decisions to act against those things. Every month the enemy changes its tactics. We need checkpoints and ambushes."
Meanwhile, officials say that Khost Gov. Hameedullah Qalandar Zai has mostly been holed up in his compound since the Taliban attacked three municipal buildings in downtown Khost on May 12. The attackers wore explosive vests and held the governor and others hostage for hours as the army, police, U.S. and NATO forces fought pitched battles that left 11 Taliban, three Afghan security personnel and four civilians dead and more than two dozen people wounded, among them 15 civilians and three U.S. soldiers.
Bringing these fractured groups together is an uphill battle.
"I have no doubt whatsoever ... of their dedication to help each other out when it gets really, really bad," said Lt. Col. Pete Molin, Brigade Team Chief at Camp Clark, which from its position in the heart of Khost province oversees the training and mentoring of the 1st Brigade of the Afghan army's 203rd Corps
"The question is, how do you see really, really bad? The ANA might see it one way and the ANP might see it another way. The coalition might see it one way and the [Afghans] might see it another."
Efforts to come together have yielded some successes, but distrust and clashes of leadership abound. For the past year, all parties have been meeting weekly under the umbrella of a coordination office known as the Operational Coordination Center, Provincial — OCCP — in downtown Khost. The meetings are an attempt to bring the parties together to share information and build strategies. But they frequently are derailed by disputes or personality conflicts.
At one recent meeting, the governor launched into a tirade against the police for not supplying adequate security, and for not keeping his office informed. And in a heated exchange, border police chief Shir Ahmad Kochi berated the governor for removing a proactive Khost TV director at a critical time in this information war and for blocking the paved road when he expanded the security perimeter around the governor's compound after the May 12 attack. Now, to get to the OCCP each week, security vehicles must detour onto a dirt route to circumvent the governor's compound, exposing them to the risk of buried bombs.
Enraged, Qalandar Zai cut the meeting short and dismissed everyone before any strategic planning could be addressed.
"I hate to say it, but I think we need to get the security guys together for another meeting," said Lt. Col. Stephen Smith of the 4th Brigade, 25th Infantry Division out of Alaska, who commands coalition forces in the eastern provinces of Khost, Paktia and Paktika. "We need to talk about the elections. We need to talk about Mangal and Makhbal (tribal fighting) and joint operations. There's all kinds of stuff we need to talk about."
Last week, Gen. Mohammad Israr, commander of the 1st Brigade of the 203rd Corps, told Molin that he'd received information about a new batch of armed men roaming the Qalandar area, beyond the mountain ridge to the north of Clark. It might be tribal fighting, Israr said, before concluding that the group was a new enemy.
Israr said he asked the coalition for helicopter transport and supply, but they declined. "We can't do it alone," he said.
Molin suggested sending the police to the hilltop to see if the armed men shot at them. He was greeted by laughter among the military folk, not at the prospect of ANP being shot at, but at the suggestion they actually have the manpower to actually send anyone out there.
"The problem right now is that the ANP is weak," Israr said. "If the ANP and the ABP (border patrol) are strengthened, they can be out in the field."
In this war of information, assessing reality can be like walking through a hall of mirrors. It all depends on vantage point. Israr saw his forces overextended. The coalition saw the dangers of acting too quickly. Others saw the request as a measuring stick on how far the Afghan army still needs to go to stand on its own.
"They really don't need air support," said Capt. James Azzinnari, a member of Molin's Embedded Training Team. "They are better equipped and have better weapons and body armor than the Taliban, but they would rather ask the coalition for help.
"We are making slow progress. But it will be a generational change."
Molin put it another way.
"It's a constant negotiation," said the former West Point instructor. "It's a subtle game almost. The Americans certainly have ideas about what they would like to see happen. But it's a process of letting the Afghans come to what they see as an available solution."
In fact, Molin noted that after the contentious coordination meeting on Saturday, the men all stood outside talking and the very next day, border police chief Kochi and Gov. Qalandar Zai, who had gone head to head in the meeting, went out on a day trip to a particularly troubled border post in the province.
They fought, they got over it and they got to work. It was indicative, Molin said, of the way things often unfold here.
Trainers and mentors in Clark get attached to their Afghan units, and will sometimes overlook flaws to appreciate larger achievements. Border patrol trainer Capt. Philip Poag, 31, acknowledged the daunting task of standing up a new force. But he said they fight well.
"I'd rather have American soldiers guarding my right and my left, but they are doing their jobs out there," said Poag, a team chief for the trainers. "They don't want to die, either. I felt secure with them."
"These guys are going to be the reason we go home one day."
Israr is quick to note that his forces operating at Command Outpost Spera, along the southern provincial border with Pakistan, were recently joined by a new unit of the border patrol. And police and army are working together to hold meetings with village elders all along the area to prepare for the elections in August.
When the governor dismissed the OCCP meeting, Lt. Col Matthew Smith of the 1st Battalion, 121st Infantry Regiment watched the events unfold with the eyes of a newcomer. Smith is taking over command of training and mentoring teams in the Khost, Paktia and Paktika provinces this month.
"It's just so frustrating to watch it all unfold," Smith said. "This place could be so much more."
Later, though, after some reflection, Smith's perspective softened.
"We are talking about something that has taken years and will continue to take years," he said. "The ABP came into existence in the last two years. ANP is three years behind the army. And that meeting we sat in yesterday didn't exist a year ago. I think it's fair to say progress is occurring."
