This week we've had the pleasure of interviewing Keith Crispin after he signed up to be notified when CommissionCrowd launches. With over 30 years of sales experience under his belt, we wanted to find out more about him and his career as a professional self-employed sales agent.
Keith is currently seeking exciting new opportunities so if you would like to drop him a line we have included his contact details at the end of his interview.
Hi Keith, it is a pleasure to meet you and thanks for taking the time to share your story with the many companies that have signed up to hear about the launch of the 'CommissionCrowd' sales platform.
With a long and successful career in the sales industry to date, can you tell us where it all began?
I learnt my craft in FMCG (fast moving consumer goods), with the Nestle Company. However, my desire for a higher income and an interest in all things high-tech tempted me towards capital goods – initially telecoms and then onto the Computer Industry, where I have specialised in Software Sales.
What was the reason you decided to become a self-employed/freelance sales agent?
A good question! Several reasons really – certainly the desire to use my professional contacts to earn more but also I like the freedom to be in charge of my own destiny. Despite being freelance, my mindset is to work closely with the management of the companies I work with and to be part of the decision making process. My attitude is if I am successful for the company I work with, I will be successful for myself.
What would you say is your proudest achievement in sales to date?
Landing my first $1M (U.S.) project was pretty cool and so was leading the bid team to sell a £1M computer to one of the top banking groups in the UK. Being thanked by the customer for a job well done works for me every time.
In your opinion what sets a self-employed sales agent apart from an employee?
I think there should be no difference in attitude or relevance. Using freelance sales people is a lower cost/risk strategy for the 'employer' and a tax-efficient vehicle for the agent. Otherwise, personally, I like to be a part of the fabric of the company – ideally getting some of the advantages of employment, such as paid expenses.
As you know, we are launching the CommissionCrowd sales platform later this year. In your experience what would you say makes a commission-only opportunity attractive to a self employed sales agent?
As an entrepreneur I realise you have to take risks to succeed. Relying on commission only has its challenges, particularly in a downturned economy however, the financial prize of success can be high and very satisfying.
If you are employed, your commission structure/pay plan is likely to be burdened with a portion of the company overhead (pension plan, private medical cover, directors remunerations etc), whereas if you are off the payroll, you have no cost to the company other than a slice of the sales you generate.
Apart from new business, what most of us strive for is a residual income, based on the renewal of a service contract or recurring sale. Often this can be financially very attractive, especially where the agent has brought in the customer relationship.
Obviously we are very excited to be developing a platform that will potentially change the world of freelance sales forever. Which aspects of 'CommissionCrowd' are you looking forward to?
I am really excited about the launch of CommissionCrowd! The way you plan on bringing both companies and freelance sales people together in such a united and structured way is visionary.
I also really like the idea of an integrated CRM, the ability to build my own sales teams and and also the Commission payment environment as this should make life so much less stressful for both agent and 'employer'. Also the ability to record, monitor and track sales opportunities in such a transparent way will help both the company and myself as the agent.
I would like to find an opportunity to become a key member of a bid team in the computer industry or managing channel/customer relationships. I am good at conceptual selling and focussing in on customer pain and providing solutions through leading-edge technology/software applications.
Thank you very much for your time Keith. It's been a pleasure finding out more about you and we look forward to working with you when we launch.
Thanks it's been a pleasure. I'm looking forward to using CommissionCrowd when you launch.


1-Sentence-Summary: Hardwiring Happiness tells you what you can do to overcome your negativity bias of focusing on and exaggerating negative events by relishing, extending and prioritizing the good things in your life to become happier.
Rick Hanson is impressive. I don't know why, but that word comes to mind, in spite of his very modest, calm and rather introverted nature. He's not a showman, but there's something profound about the things he talks about and how he talks about them, which I can't help but to admit has left a bigger impact on me than I thought it would.
The second darts idea from one of his earlier books, Buddha's Brain is one of the best practices to control your reactions to bad events I know of. That book was about accepting the things you can't change. This one, Hardwiring Happiness, is about how to proactively battle negativity and overcome your tendency to exaggerate the negative.
It explains why we obsess about the bad stuff and what we can do to change that.
Start a "Good Year Box" to remind yourself of positive events all the time.
Create an infinite stream of positivity from your memories, small details and being generous.
Ready to hardwire happiness into your brain? Let's do it!
Lesson 1: If you have a "sad amygdala" you react stronger to negative events.
His world is shattered, the day ruined. For the remainder of the episode, he ends up chasing better reviews, trying way too hard, until he eventually realizes it's stupid to obsess over one bad review in 50 great ones.
I'm sure you know the feeling. Think of the moments in school you remember the most. Are they happy ones? Or the times when you got bullied, when you were hurt, when you got your first F?
The tendency to disproportionately focus on the negative is built into us. It's a remnant from times when most negative things could kill you. Today most "threats" won't, but your brain doesn't know that.
However, there are still differences among us. The fear center of your brain, the amygdala comes in two variants.
A "happy amygdala" will stimulate your nucleus accumbens the goal-fulfilling part of your brain that sparks motivation, ambition and optimism.
A "sad amygdala" will instead base your actions more on fear by releasing cortisol, adrenaline, and other stress-inducing hormones, making you feel rather anxious and worried.
Most of us have a "sad amygdala," but luckily, it's not set in stone.
Your brain never stops growing, which means it's never too late to change its structure. By exposing it to more positive experiences and making a conscious effort to do so on a regular basis, you can tone down your sad amygdala and even turn it into a happy one.
Here's how it works: Keep a shoe box or other storage container in your bedroom. At the end of each day, before you go to bed, go through everything you've done and experienced again, and pull out at least one positive thing that happened. Write it down on a piece of paper and put it in the box.
This way, you'll acknowledge good things in your life as they happen, while simultaneously training your brain to recognize those things more.
Lesson 3: Create an infinite stream of positivity from your memories, small details and being generous.
Spend some time in a happy memory.
Notice a small, positive detail right in front of you.
Be generous in helping others.
Even if you're just 15 years old, you already have a lifetime worth of happy memories. Rewiring your brain can be as simple as digging out one of them – a fun afternoon playing in the sand, a beautiful movie, a tasty pizza, a great date or awesome fireworks – and taking a few minutes to dwell in it in your mind.
The laptop I'm typing these words on is nothing short of a miracle. It's the equivalent of an entire company 50 years ago. How can I not be grateful for it? The beautiful quality of images on the screen. The soft touch of the keys. The magnetic charger that safely unplugs, even if I stumble over the cable. What breathtaking mini miracle can you be grateful for that's right in front of you this very second?
Lastly, your brain's reward centers will fire more often if you're generous. Don't be cheap. Give awesome gifts. Not just when they're "required" like on Christmas, but any time of the year. Donate every once in a while. Offer to help your neighbor in the garden. Being generous always leads to a shared moment of happiness. And there's no limit to how generous you can be.
Just reading about this stuff makes me happier already. That's what I meant by saying Rick Hanson is impressive. He creates an impression that lasts. Hardwiring Happiness reinforced that. I highly recommend his work.
Who would I recommend the Hardwiring Happiness summary to?
The 52 year old miser, who always bickers with everyone in her community, the 72 year old, who thinks there's no chance his brain is still evolving, and anyone who doesn't keep track of their happy memories at all.

This talk will provide a personal perspective on the state of art regarding the automated testing of software systems enabled by machine learning. Such systems typically contain components relying on machine learning, whose behavior is not specified or coded but driven by training data, but which interact with other components in the system and play a critical role. Typical examples include cyber-physical systems that rely on machine learning in their perception (e.g., analyzing camera images) and control (e.g., sending commands to actuators) layers. In my reflections, I will rely both on my analysis of the state of the art and personal experience in research projects carried out with industrial partners in the automotive domain.

Trader ordered to pay £85,726 for selling illicit tobacco
Published: Tuesday, 3rd October 2017
A Birmingham trader, who was found to have illicit tobacco in his shop, has been ordered to pay £85,726 at Birmingham Crown Court today (3 October 2017).
Some of the cigarettes found hidden in the shop ceiling
Reza Nozmiyeh, 49, of Paganel Road, Weoley Castle, who ran Venus International off licence at 247 Dudley Road, Winson Green, pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing (21 November 2016) to four offences under the Consumer Protection Act 1987, Tobacco Products (Manufacture, Presentation and Sale (Safety) (Amendment) Regulations 2007, Licensing Act 2003 and Trade Marks Act 1994.
A confiscation order of £85,726 was made, which Nozmiyeh must pay within three months, along with a default prison sentence of 18 months if he fails to do so. He must also complete 120 hours unpaid work within 12 months and a forfeit all cigarettes and tobacco seized by officers on 7 October 2015. At an earlier hearing (7 October 2016) Birmingham Magistrates Court had ordered forfeiture of £1,953.50 seized cash under the Proceeds of Crime Act.
Birmingham City Council brought the case against Nozmiyeh after Trading Standards officers, working with West Midlands Police, raided the premises on 7 October 2015 and found 579 packs of illegal cigarettes with an estimated street value of approximately £3,000.
More than 500 packs of cigarettes were hidden behind ceiling tiles and sniffer dogs also found packs of cigarettes stashed in a hidden compartment behind the counter. Officers also seized 32 packets of illegal hand rolling tobacco, with an estimated street value of £200.
The haul included counterfeit Mayfair cigarettes, along with cheap foreign labelled products that breached consumer protection legislation and were non-duty paid - which cannot be legally sold in the UK.
There are strict labelling requirements in the UK, including statutory health warnings and photographic images, but on the packs seized these warnings did not include photos.
Supplying such goods is considered serious under the Licensing Act 2003 and consequently a review of Venus International's premises licence was heard by the city council's Licensing Sub-Committee on 15 December 2015, who decided to revoke it.
Cllr Barbara Dring, Chair of the city council's Licensing and Public Protection Committee, said: "This was a significant seizure, given the amount of illicit tobacco found in this relatively small shop. The business went to great lengths to conceal these illicit tobacco products, which cannot legally be sold in the UK.
"It doesn't matter how well hidden products may be, detection dogs can find tobacco and cigarettes hidden in the most unlikely places. Offenders need to know that they will face consequences if they choose to deal in these illegal products.
"Those involved in dealing in illegal tobacco may be encouraging people, including children to smoke by providing a cheap source. This activity also brings crime into our neighbourhoods, which is why it is important to clamp down on it, as this also impacts on those businesses that are trading legally."
Since Birmingham City Council took action against Nozmiyeh, he sold the shop to a third party and the business is no longer trading.

A look back at past bear markets offers clues to what might happen when stocks crash 20% or more again.
With the stock market in the red for the year, this is a good time to explore what to expect in a bear market—and to take steps to prepare.
Corrections can often be a pause that refreshes. By bringing down stock prices, they make price-earnings ratios and other measures of value more reasonable. They also stir worries among investors, which tends to help stocks vault higher. After all, unless there's some fear that stocks will fall, everyone would be 100% in stocks and there would be no one left to buy more and push prices higher.
But seven times since World War II, corrections have heralded bear markets—defined as losses of 20% or more in the S&P. That means, based on history, that there's a bit better than a one in three chance that the current correction will evolve into a bear market.
Bear markets test investors. Bear markets last for slightly more than 11 months, on average. If you had the misfortune to invest at a market top, just before the onset of a bear market, it would have taken you an average of 3½ years just to break even.
But patience helps you avoid catastrophe. On average, five years after the onset of a bear market, the S&P 500 has returned a cumulative 25.1%.
Not all bear markets are alike, however. Some are so mild that analysts disagree whether they should even be classified as bear markets. Ned Davis, for instance, counts a 20.5% loss in the S&P in 1966 as a bear market. Morningstar's Ibbotson Associates unit does not. Similarly, some analysts count the S&P 500's 19.4% drop in 2011 as a bear market; most consider it a mere correction.
One bear market, the one that began with the 1929 stock market crash, was so brutal that analysts disagree on whether there was one bear market that ended in 1932 or a series of bears. By the time what I'm calling a series of bear markets ended, the market had lost a catastrophic 83.5%. Stocks then began to recover, but they were hammered again in 1937-38, this time for a 51.5% loss. Stocks didn't climb back to their September 6, 1929, peak until December 1944.
Fortunately, no bear market since has inflicted anywhere close to the pain of the Great Depression. Unfortunately, investors have experienced three terrible bear markets since World War II.
The S&P plunged 45.0% in 1973-74, a period marked by both recession and high inflation (commonly called stagflation), the Vietnam War and Richard Nixon's resignation as president because of the Watergate scandal.
The popping of the technology bubble precipitated a 47.4% collapse in the S&P 500 from March 2000 through October 2002. The tech-laden Nasdaq Composite index suffered a much heavier blow, losing 78% over the same period. But the selloff was concentrated in tech and the shares of large growing companies. Undervalued stocks, as well as small-company and foreign stocks, fared much better.
Then, of course, the 2007-09 financial crisis triggered a 55.3% meltdown in the S&P 500, making it, by far, the worst bear market since the 1930s.
I am more optimistic. The last two bear markets were the worst since the Great Depression. I think that we're due for a garden-variety bear market—if indeed we fall into a bear market. Stock valuations are only a bit above average today, and there's no sign of a recession on the horizon. Bear markets usually accompany recessions, with the downturn in share prices typically beginning several months before the downturn in the economy.
How should you prepare for the next bear market? If you're going to need the money you have invested in stocks within the next five years, you should move some or all of that money to lower-risk bonds or bond funds. Don't sell all your stocks; most investors, even in retirement, should have at least 50% or 60% of their retirement assets in stocks.
It's also still not too late to weed out some of your more speculative holdings—and move the money into safer blue-chip stocks. Funds worth considering: Parnassus Core Equity (symbol PRBLX), Primecap Odyssey Stock (POSKX) and Vanguard Dividend Growth (VDIGX). An even tamer pick is FPA Crescent (FPACX), and a good foreign choice is Oakmark International (OAKIX). All were featured in my story 6 Great Stock Funds for 2015, and the Vanguard and FPA funds are members of the Kiplinger 25.


Due to the bouts of severe weather that our region is known for, not knowing how to drive safely during a storm can increase your chances of being involved in a car accident and possibly needing a Tampa personal injury lawyer. The seven driving techniques provided below are designed to help local drivers drive responsibly in the rain and get home safe.
Give yourself more time. Rushing through inclement weather is dangerous. Allow for more time and a plan on driving a little slower when the roads are wet.
Turn on your headlights. Even during a light shower, your headlights help you see the road and ensure that other drivers can see you.
Defog your front and rear windows. Switch on the front and rear defrosters as well as the AC to maintain a clear line of sight.
Do not use cruise control. Not only do drivers tend to be less vigilant when they're using cruise control, this feature can actually cause your vehicle to speed up if you happen to hydroplane.
Brake carefully if you hydroplane. Slamming on the brakes or abruptly swerving your steering wheel while hydroplaning may cause your vehicle to spin out of control. Safety experts recommend slowly releasing the gas pedal, steering straight and lightly tapping the brakes until you regain traction.
Brake earlier. This increases the stopping distance between you and the vehicle in front of you while informing the car behind you that you are slowing down.
Exercise caution after a dry spell. As Edmonds.com points out, grease and engine oil tends to build up on our roadways during bouts of dry weather. This can cause roads to become particularly slick during the first hours of a new rainfall.
If you've been seriously injured in a car accident due to another person's negligence, it's important to find a legal team who will fight for your rights. Contact the experience Tampa personal injury lawyers of Abrahamson & Uiterwyk today at 1-800-753-5203 for a free initial consultation.

Edward Hopper and Tim Eitel Comparison
✅ Paper Type: Free Essay ✅ Subject: Arts
✅ Wordcount: 3445 words ✅ Published: 3rd May 2018
The following pages will analyse and compare American realist Edward Hopper (1882-1967) and German contemporary realist Tim Eitel (b. 1971). The works selected are Office in a Small City, painted by Hopper in 1953 with oils on canvas, and Ohne Titel (Ausblick)/ Without Title (View) by Tim Eitel in 2002 with acrylic paints on canvas. Both artists portray loneliness, and share a common theme of isolation. This was conveyed in my fifth studio work, which is a semi-realist painting of a childhood photograph of me after my family and I moved to the United States from Germany. The event influenced my identity to a large extent, and I wanted to convey the isolation I felt. Therefore, I used similar techniques as Hopper and Eitel, mainly in terms of composition, tone, and shading.
Analysis of formal qualities
Stated to be one of the most prominent American artists, Hopper depicted realist urban and rural scenes of post-war American life, and rendered his personal vision of it. Born in 1882 in New York, Hopper studied illustration at university, though shifted to fine arts and was drawn to oil painting. He was heavily influenced by Edgar Degas and Èduard Manet, particularly their use of compositional devices and their depictions of modern urban life, which is apparent in his works. The height of Hopper's fame was achieved through his oil painting Nighthawks (1942) which renders weariness, concern, and tension of customers and a waiter in an urban, anonymous diner in the depths of the night. Like many of Hopper's works, it is believed to echo wartime anxiety and uncertainty through the sense of isolation produced through Hopper's use of composition.
This theme of isolation is apparent in Hopper's later works as well, such as Office in a Small City (1952, oil on canvas, 71.1 cm * 101.6 cm). Arranged in a minimalist composition, the work depicts a man looking out at urban architecture and cityscapes. He seems isolated both physically and emotionally. Through the two large and open windows which almost seem to have no glass, the viewer can see in and out of the office. The figure is staring out of the window, and does not seem to be actively working, and instead perhaps waiting for something or daydreaming.
He is the only figure in the piece and is detached from unseen possible co-workers. This triggers the sense of physical isolation. In the cold environment of a corner office which contrasts open windows and a blue sky, the man seems trapped, which furthers his physical isolation. Furthermore, he is framed by the office windows, and his head is profiled towards the windows and the wall of buildings beyond, which suggests containment within his environment. The figure is staring detachedly outside towards the nearby buildings and brilliant blue sky, perhaps with something akin to yearning of breaking free of the physical boundaries set which trigger his isolation.
There is no indication of any particular profession, and the viewer cannot see any details of his face. The office features bland, mass-produced office furniture and the white walls indicate a similarly bland building. The anonymity, facelessness, and sombre solitude of the figure could be representative of Hopper's criticism towards post-war American business culture, as the man seems to be trapped by the boundaries set by his workplace. Therefore, Hopper could be criticising the surge in post-war American capitalism and perhaps the isolating effect this had on ordinary workers such as the figure portrayed.
Furthermore, there is a strong contrast between the stark, utilitarian appearance of office building and the decorative, false front of the building opposite. This could indicate Hopper's ambivalence towards modern urban life which is demonstrated in his other works which also portray modern and urban American society.
The subject matter of the piece is the common features of post-war American life and of its inhabitants, which was commonly portrayed by Hopper.
In terms of visual properties, Hopper uses light, shadows, and cold colours to increase sense of loneliness, as well as an ambience of a mass produced and industrialised environment.
The building itself is of bland design with large windows, which seem to trap the figure and is also an almost surrealist element, seeing as it is possible that the room has no windows at all, as there is so visible indication of glass.
The stark, pronounced and parallel composition furthers the clean lines of the work.
A sense of unity is produced through the solid grey colour of the wall, and the strong shade of blue of the sky.
The overall technique and style of the piece is simplified realism, demonstrated through the clear and pronounced shadows and strong tones that have little variation.
"In general it can be said that a nation's art is greatest when it reflects the character of its people." – Hopper (via edwardhopper.net)
Interpretation of function and purpose
Hopper himself states that his "aim was to try and give the sense of an isolated and lonely office interior rather high in the air, with the office furniture which has a very definite meaning to me." (metmuseum.org) He did not further state what "definite meaning" this was, yet as the office furniture is bland, plain, and mass-produced, one can assume that Hopper wished to further the idea of an isolated, melancholic and lonely worker confined both literally and physically by his environment, be it his work specifically or the larger society of post-war America. Produced in 1953, the society Hopper lived in during the time the piece was made experienced great change. The post-war economic boom caused the United States to become increasingly materialistic and capitalist, which triggered a large expansion of the middle-class and people who worked in large organisation, such as offices as portrayed in the piece. This shift of working in a more familiar, smaller environment to working in a large business as a mere employee, similarly to a cog in a machine. Furthermore, previously small industrial cities grew massively during this time. Therefore, one would have often felt isolated, which could be a possible reason why Hopper chose to portray the worker as physically and mentally isolated and distant. Hopper used emblematic and anti-narrative symbolism to convey this.
Evaluation of cultural significance
The work depicts isolation and loneliness of man in a uniquely stark fashion, which could be representative of post-war American consumerist and capitalist society through depicting an anonymous working man trapped in a confining and isolating environment.
In another sense, it is important to note the context of the work. Painted in the 1950s, the piece features a reductive style, which is defined by clear lines, reduced formed, streamlined composition, and a clear composition. This style opposed abstract expressionism. Also a post- war movement, abstract expressionism sought to create works fuelled by the subconscious. Painting was seen as an automatic and spontaneous action. Hopper's realist style is in direct opposition to the works of Pollack and Rothko. Unlike prominent artists of the time, Hopper did not paint freely. Due to this, Hopper was often labelled as passé old fashioned. Post-war, Hopper's success gradually declined, yet, he continued to work. His paintings remained carefully planned with an eye for composition. He continued to interpret American life with very little dramatics. His staged scenes seem ordinary, with isolated, frozen figures in almost awkward poses. Whilst other works at the time were lively and abstract, his pieces remained monotone, yet authentic. Hopper removes any superfluous details, and indeed, this authentic and uneasy realist style captivates and resonates with the viewer, even decades later.
Eitel
Born in 1971, German contemporary artist Tim Eitel is one of the most prominent realist painters of the twenty-first century in the European art scene. Eitel studied German language, literature, and philosophy before studying painting at university, resulting in his solo-debut in 2006. Eitel's primary medium is oil on canvas, with which he creates minimalistic scenes in a realist style with a sense of abstract composition. Eitel is best known for depictions of a somewhat altered and staged reality, and especially his choice of background and composition are often abstract and, in a sense, surreal. This can be seen in his work Ohne Titel (Ausblick)/ Without Title (View) (acrylic on canvas, 2002, 30 cm * 30c cm).
The piece shows a man staring out into a forest, perhaps standing before a window or door of some kind. It is not en-face. Dark blue borders surround a landscape of a forest. The interior has a Mondrian-like aspect through solid blocks of colour; mint and dark blue. It is unsure whether these are windows or doors, or a surrealist element of the piece.
The man is alone, and gives a sense of solitude. The composition of the work- with the reflection of the figure on the floor and the man gazing out into the distance- reiterates the reflective nature of the work, as well as the loneliness portrayed. The thick, dark blue borders around the man create emphasis on the figure and isolate him physically. Mentally, the figure seems isolated in that we cannot see his face, and he is simply staring out into the distance. He is not interacting with the viewer, which creates a cold detachment. The dark borders seem to trap and constrain the figure, giving the work a somewhat surreal and ominous aura. The man, however, does not seem to acknowledge the borders, and instead stares longingly outside towards the forest, perhaps in an effort to escape this isolation.
The environment is cold, an effect created through the cold colours used of white, light green, dark green and dark blue, which furthers the sense of isolation and creates unity through tone. It also highlights omnipresent solitude, and creates an ambiguous environment. The figure could be anywhere; inside or outside.
Eitel's technique of realism is very minimal and taken-aback. It seems to be 'boiled-down' to clean lines and shading. He chooses to paint some features in greater detail, such as the man's head, in which he has striking variations of tone to create a lifelike quality. In his technique, he creates a contrast between the soft, light and varied tones of mint green of the forest and the harsh, manufactured, artificial dark blue border with no variation in tone.
In the work, the man is in the focal point, and is accentuated through the contrast of light and shadows, as well as composition. He is placed in the centre of the square work, and surrounded by the dark blue borders. This theatrical and staged composition, with elements of surrealism and the unreal, are typical to Eitel. Through his realistic technique, the contrast between the real and staged is particularly effective. He seems to question how much of our true reality is staged through his inconspicuous depictions of ordinary and everyday scenes, which could have been imagined or real.
The subject matter portrayed is a single man staring out into a forest.
Eitel uses minimalist and cold tones to further a sense of isolation.
The stark and thick borders of solid colours physically isolate the figure.
"I do not want to tell stories." – Eitel (via youtube.com)
"It is painting and transposes our world into another world. In this way, painting is more like theatre. It is abstract. (…) Just imagine a stage all in black, no light and just one spotlight on the protagonist. It is a lot like that. It creates this artificiality." – Eitel (via freudevonfreunden.com/workplaces/tim-eitel)
"It's a weird kind of ambiguity I'm looking for. It has this sense of space and depth, but it's also in a way abstract, like this big void." – Eitel (via artnews.com/2006/11/01/optical-delusions)
Eitel has explained that he does not "want to tell stories". There is little narrative element to the piece, yet it is powerful nonetheless. The solitude and isolation portrayed is chilling, which is furthered through the figure's detachment and lack of interaction with the viewer. Whilst there is no direct criticism to a larger idea or a clear narrative, the work depicts the solitude, loneliness, and isolation of man.
Whilst Eitel is a famous, up-and-coming contemporary painter- particularly in Europe- the work Ohne Titel (Ausblick)/ Without Title (View) is not his most famous work, yet it accurately portrays Eitel's signature features. Realism traditionally portrays scenes truthfully and without artificiality, yet Eitel's pieces have an ominous aura of mystery. They question the viewer's idea of what is real and what is not through combining stylised and abstract environments and compositions with realist figures. A contrast between reality and staged theatrics can be seen in most of Eitel's work.
In another sense, Eitel's work contrasts other German contemporary art pieces. As a realist, Eitel stands in opposition with surrealist realists such as Neo Rauch or the abstract works of Arno Rink. Specifically, Eitel distances himself from the prominent Neue Leipziger Schule, established in the 1970s. Students of the school were predominantly working with figurative and abstract elements. Eitel, however, is distinctly realist, and his paintings are more reminiscent of photographs in their clean composition, tones, and composition. Hence, Eitel's pieces differ greatly from those of other key contemporary German painters.
Hopper & Eitel
Making comparisons and connections
The two works share most similarities in terms of formal qualities. The artists are both realists, yet the pieces have a surreal and unreal element. Both works have a minimalist composition, and depict a single, anonymous man who does not interact with the viewer and is faceless. The men are similar in appearance; both bald and middle aged. They are also both in isolation, an effect achieved through using cold colours and a constricting composition of borders. The key similarity of the pieces is the common theme of isolation
In another sense, both works are connected in that they feature different contrasts. Eitel contrasts the light tones of the forest with the harsh borders, whereas Hopper contrasts the modern and bland architecture of the office building with the decorative façade of the older buildings and the bright blue sky. Hence, both works could be said to contrast man with nature, or man-made buildings with nature, setting up the dichotomy of contextually modern inventions with nature.
Furthermore, both pieces depict a man's loneliness, yet Hopper comments on post-war American society, whereas Eitel does not critique a larger idea. Hopper's piece has great contextual importance as it explores the loneliness of post-war American society and of an ordinary, working man. Therefore, one could say that Hopper's work has a greater cultural significance, and it is also far more famous. However, the striking mysterious solitude portrayed in Eitel's work could be seen by some to have a similar critique on today's society; questioning the isolation of man in the twenty-first century, perhaps through modern technology which is often described to isolate.
Critically, both artists stage situations and events. Their compositions are both rather similar, and feature repetitive elements in terms of perspectives and lines. Both Hopper and Eitel show figures in almost awkward poses in eerie compositions, free of any superfluous detail. In a way, both works are reminiscent of observing specimens in a jar, particularly the isolated, lonely man, thus making the two pieces powerful and resonating with the viewer.
Making connections to own art making practice
The outcomes of the comparative study were:
My own studio work is connected to Eitel in terms of technique, method, and his concept. In my work, I wanted to convey isolation, as I painted a childhood photograph of me, taken a few days after my family and I moved to the United States from Germany. Similarly to Eitel, I examined the relationship between the figure and surrounding space, and created a cold and empty atmosphere and environment, symbolising the loneliness and isolation I felt. The ambivalence and artificiality of the space reiterates the personal emotions I felt at the time, which had a strong influence on my personal identity.
Eitel's technique influenced me in that I, too, used borders to reiterate the physical and mental constrictions and isolation I felt. The borders added depth to the work in terms of perspective. Through replicating Eitel's minimalist style- almost like a field painting- and heavily reducing the colours, I further the isolation and loneliness and due to the col environment, the disunion between my childhood self and the empty space is deepened. Lastly, similarly to Eitel, the figure is staring into the distance and surrounded by a desolate environment, seemingly staring into infinity. This creates an uneasy feeling with the viewer, and thus echoes the emotions I felt at the time.
Similarly, Hopper influenced my studio work in that Hopper's imagery, too, is very restrained, and shows disconnected and isolated figures. Through Hopper's use of light and composition, an almost awkward tension is created, which I replicated through the solitary figure in my work looking to the right, with a stiff posture and serious expression. The dramatic lighting highlights the isolation I experienced, and especially reflects the emotions I felt.
Thus, both Hopper and Eitel work hand in hand to reiterate the message of my piece.

Danny Elfman — Hollywood composer, Oingo…
Danny Elfman — Hollywood composer, Oingo Boingo mastermind — crosses over to classical
STANFORD LIVE
Composer Danny Elfman, left, will have his new violin concerto featured in a U.S. performance by Sandy Cameron conducted by John Mauceri on the Stanford University campus.
By Georgia Rowe | Correspondent, Bay Area News Group
PUBLISHED: March 7, 2018 at 8:30 am | UPDATED: March 7, 2018 at 9:15 am
Danny Elfman is talking about composers. Not just the ones you might expect from his knowledge of film scores — John Williams, Max Steiner and Elfman's all-time hero, Bernard Herrmann — but names from the world of classical music: Stravinsky, Prokofiev, Shostakovich.
That's because Elfman is crossing over. After composing hundreds of scores for film and television — "Batman" and "Beetlejuice," "Pee-wee's Playhouse" and "The Simpsons" theme song among them — the award-winning composer has written a violin concerto.
Danny Elfman, citing his own impulsiveness, has broken into the world of classical music by writing his first violin concerto. His work in Hollywood will continue. PHOTO BY MAY ZIRCUS
"Eleven Eleven" for Violin and Orchestra, co-commissioned by the Czech National Symphony Orchestra, Royal Scottish National Orchestra and Stanford Live, makes its U.S. premiere March 10-11 in Stanford's Bing Hall. John Mauceri conducts, and violinist Sandy Cameron, for whom the concerto was written, is the soloist. The program also includes works by Leonard Bernstein and William Walton.
Elfman's move from Hollywood to "serious" music might seem unexpected. Yet, in a wide-ranging phone call from his home in Los Angeles, which he shares with his wife, actress Bridget Fonda, and their son, the composer said it was characteristic of his approach.
"I have an impulsive way of getting into things without thinking it through," said Elfman. "It's kind of normal for me to get a challenge — a throw-down — and go 'Sure!' And then later go 'Who said that? Was it my doppelganger or me?'"
In this instance, the throw-down came from Prague. A few years back, Elfman was there for a performance of a concert of music he wrote for director Tim Burton's movies — Cameron was the soloist for the work's "Edward Scissorhands" cadenza — and one of the orchestra's reps asked him to write a concerto for the violinist. "I said 'OK, a violin concerto — it can't be that difficult,'" he recalls.
Actually writing it, he admits, was harder than he'd imagined. "It was a process of education and assimilation," he says, one in which he listened to dozens of scores (Shostakovich's Violin Concerto No. 1 was a favorite) and then started composing, bringing to bear everything he's learned about writing for orchestra in his work for Hollywood.
"I just started it like I start everything," he says. "I wrote lots of ideas. I probably started with an hour and 20 minutes of music and kind of whittled it down."
Central to his approach was the idea that 20th-century concert music has become too rarefied. "So much of it is music that I could never play for my family — they'd just be mystified by it," he said. "I started wondering: 'Why is it necessarily that way?' In the past, classical music was written so anybody could hear it and appreciate it. I was trying to find a way of bridging that weird gap."
Composed in four movements and running about 40 minutes, "Eleven Eleven" is perfectly serious. But it's still Elfman. The composer, who worked in theater for nearly a decade and was the frontman of the legendary alt-rock band Oingo Boingo before embarking on a Hollywood career, says he tried hard to make the concerto rhythmically intense – and fun. "There are definitely some frisky moments in it," he says. "I always want to end things with a bit of a bang."
"Eleven Eleven" premiered at the Prague Proms last June and repeated in Hamburg in September. The Scottish Symphony will record and perform the work later this year.
In the meantime, Elfman has already written and premiered another concert work, a piano quartet which was commissioned by the Berlin Philharmonic Piano Quartet.
And he intends to keep writing for the concert hall; in fact, his goal is one new piece each year. There could be blowback, he says, but that's fine.
"I know I'm stepping into this other world. But that's what I'm used to. The thing that fueled me for my first 15 years as a composer was the hostility I got from my own peers. I understood — I came from nowhere and I was upsetting the apple cart. What I realized was that that negative energy was great fuel.
"Now as I enter concert music, I feel that I'll be up against some of that same energy, and I kind of welcome it. I can't let it hold me back. I'm getting ready to do three films in a row, and when I'm done with that, I plan to write something really insane. This is like Part Four of my career, and I'm excited about the possibilities."

Q: Bootstrap navbar fixed right I am trying to create a navigation bar menu, with dropdowns etc, using the excellent bootstrap 3 navbar system.  I want the window glued to the right hand side of the screen, so that blank space appears to the left when the screen is expanded.  When the screen contracts, I want it to have the standard collapse behaviour, so that the menu items are replaced by a toggle icon.  Here's a jsfiddle for it.

      <button type="button" class="navbar-toggle collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#bs-example-navbar-collapse-1" aria-expanded="false">
        Toggle navigation

      </button>

Now, this is almost ok. If you expand the window, then indeed white space appears to the left and the menubar is glued to the right edge.  But, a problem:

*

*If you contract the window, the menu items disappear, fine, but you do NOT see the nice icon on the right indicating that you can toggle the menu so it reappears on the left, stacked vertically.

It seems the problem is that the width setting on the surrounding div (necessary so that margin-left:auto will push the div to the right) conflicts with the bootstrap behaviour. So you don't get to see the toggle menu icon. If you remove the style="width:850px; margin-left:auto" from the surrounding div, you will see that the nice toggle icon comes and goes as you contract and expand the window.  But then, you lose the stuck-to-the-right behaviour.
So here's the question.  It seems the villain is the width setting on the surrounding div.  But I don't see how to get margin-auto (or anything else) to work without setting a width on the element. Any ideas? I've tried out various things, floats, etc, but nothing seems to work.
Update A few more experiments, and I can see that the width setting is pushing the toggle icon off the screen. How do I stop this...? using position maybe?

A: As a quick way to address this without touching much of the code you can add right: 550px; to the .navbar-toggle class which will move the button over closer to your main title text. You can see your updated Fiddle here.
UPDATE
Ok similar to the other answer try adding your media query like this instead:
@media only screen and (max-width:767px){
    .header {
        width:auto !important;
    }
    .navbar-header{
        background: red;
}

The background color is just there for a visual reference and can be removed. Updated Fiddle here.

A: Try setting below css. If you wish to use header with width:850px property for desktop, so rewrite it for devices. http://jsfiddle.net/n3ocdm7w/11/
@media only screen and (max-width:760px){
    .header{
        width:100%!important;
     }
}

And remove aria-expanded="false" from toggle button, then it will work.

While medieval couters began as simple curved bits of metal, they were eventually developed into articulated joints. The Elbow Cops with Rondels display a design that goes well with armour styles ranging from 1250 to 1350. The steel couters possess a gleaming, rounded look with a rondel extension on the sides for additional coverage. The elbow armour looks great paired with gauntlets, bracers, and other pieces of historical armour. The steel elbow cops have leather straps with buckles to help them stay securely in place. The medieval couters work well for LARP events and historical re-enactments!

On my way from Tokyo to Kyoto, I had the privilege of riding the Shinkansen, the pinnacle of efficient Japanese transportation. This sleek, high-speed vehicle allows for passengers to travel across the country within hours. This particular train provides comfort and convenience that surpass those of trains around the world.
The quality of the Shinkansen is obvious upon first entering it. The interior closely resembles an airplane with overhead space to store luggage, bathrooms for each cart, tables attached to the back of seats, and moveable armrests. However, unlike most planes, the Shinkansen provides plenty of leg room and spacious seats, providing maximal comfort. Even the aisles are wider, allowing staff members to easily move down the train with carts of food for sale. There are also additional amnesties such as outlets for charging phones and laptops. The train itself it extremely fast, moving smoothly at around 250 miles per hour.
The patrons on the vehicle were polite, and volume levels remained low, adhering to the quiet nature of Japanese culture. The timeliness of the Shinkansen was up to par with the rest of trains in Japan. My ticket specified that the train would depart at 5:33 PM, and the train did indeed leave precisely at 5:33. Finding the Shinkansen and accessing the station was not a problem. The Shinkansen was located in the same station as local trains, allowing for convenient transfers. Information was also easily accessible with a screen in the front of the cart with real-time information of upcoming stops. There was also an overhead speaker announcing updates in both Japanese and English.
I have ridden trains in several other countries, but none of them compare to the speed and quality of the Shinkansen. The MARTA train in Atlanta is notorious for being dangerous with its often rowdy passengers. I and the majority of my friends would never take MARTA alone, but in Japan, even elementary school children ride the transit by themselves. It is also extremely difficult to find information on MARTA's schedule, and more often than not, it is more convenient to opt for other modes of transportation. When I visited Europe, I was impressed with its extensive train system that could take me just about anywhere, yet the trains did not maintain the cleanliness that characterizes Japanese trains, and whenever I would travel, I was constantly on alert for pickpocketers. I, however, would have none of those concerns when riding the Shinkansen. In Korea, while it is easy to navigate the transit system, the trains tend to have a noisier atmosphere, and they lack the speed and comfort of the Shinkansen.
While I love traveling, often times traveling long distances can be an excruciating experience. It is insane that Japan is able to provide a train that is able to take you across the country within a couple of hours with comfort levels that far surpass those of an airplane. Technology and innovation have transformed the traveling experience and most definitely have "shrunk" distances. Japan's Shinkansen lies at the top of these cutting edge technologies, and I'm so glad I was able to experience it first-hand!

What Every Parent Should Know About Screen Time: Expert Advice
Submitted by Matthew Johnson on 15 Dec 2016.
Originally published on CBC Parents.
Editor's note: There is so much conflicting information about screen time, and a lot of it serves to make us feel guilty, worried or both. We asked the Director of Education at Media Smarts (Canada's Centre for Digital and Media Literacy), Matthew Johnson, to give us the straight goods on the latest info. What is the big deal with screen time? Here's his response.

Spies in Your Stocking: Privacy, Smart Toys and the Internet of Things
This year, it may not just be Santa Claus who sees your kids when they're sleeping and knows when they're awake: one of the hottest trends this season is so-called "smart toys", which use the Internet to hold artificially intelligent conversations with kids while they play. Last year's Hello Barbie, one of the first to use this technology, was found to have a number of major security flaws – including automatically connecting the mobile device to which it was tethered to any Wi-Fi network with "Barbie" in its name. Now two more toys, a doll called My Friend Cayla and the i-Que Intelligent Robot, have been found to collect data in ways that are far more worrying.

Helping Kids Make an Impact When They Witness Cyberbullying
Submitted by Matthew Johnson on 17 Nov 2016.
In 2015, MediaSmarts and PREVNet conducted a study of Canadian students – funded by TELUS – to find out how to give youth better advice and support when they witness cyberbullying. That research, Young Canadians' Experiences with Online Bullying, aimed to discover three things: what are the barriers to witness intervention in cyberbullying? What incentives can increase the likelihood of witness intervention? And which interventions are more or less likely to have a positive outcome?

How Social Media Helps Teens Cope With Anxiety, Depression, and Self-Harm
Submitted by Guest Blogger on 04 Oct 2016.

Content reposted with permission – original article from Cyberbullying.org
It is easy for many adults – whether educators or parents – to focus on the negatives of social media in the lives of teens today. This is understandable, because they are the ones who have to deal with the fallout when adolescents make mistakes online (cyberbullying incidents, sexting cases, electronic dating violence, digital reputation drama, and similar forms of wrongdoing).

September 22 is Character Day, an international day that fosters a conversation around developing character strengths (resilience, grit, empathy, courage, kindness) – all rooted in evidence-based research. We'd like to share some resources that can help youth think about, and develop, their character.

The Dark Side of Coca-Cola's Healthy Brands
12/05/2013 11:37 am ET Updated Feb 04, 2014
On November 22, Coca-Cola completed its acquisition of Zico Coconut Water. The company now owns a string of beverage brands marketed to people who like natural foods, including not just Zico but also Honest Tea, Odwalla, Simply Orange, and Vitamin Water.
In the last few years, sales of natural and organic foods have become big business. Annual revenues have nearly tripled since 2001, and they now exceed $91 billion. Healthy food isn't just for hippies any more, and corporate America wants in on the action.
While sales of Coca-Cola's soft drinks have been slumping, company profits were up in the third quarter of 2013, thanks to strong and growing sales from Coca-Cola's non-soda and healthier beverage offerings.
But not everything is cheery in organic-land. Some natural food lovers are uncomfortable with the fact that most of their treasured brands have been bought by corporate behemoths. Clorox bought Burt's Bees. General Mills claimed Cascadian Farms and Muir Glenn. Even Kellogg's got into the natural foods buy-up bonanza by purchasing popular brands like Kashi and Gardenburger. In fact, 80 percent of organic brands are now reportedly owned by mega corporations.
This means that natural foods consumers might be unknowingly contributing to the profits of, and supporting the policies and practices of, parent companies like Coca-Cola with whom they have profound disagreement.
For example, the vast majority of natural foods consumers want Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) to be labeled. GMO labeling is already mandatory in 64 nations including the entire European Union, and recent polls find it supported by 93 percent of the American public. But profits from the sale of Coca-Cola's healthier brands have been used by Coca-Cola to fight labeling efforts. It stands to reason that the company doesn't want the public to know that its soda pop is sweetened with high fructose corn syrup made from genetically engineered corn.
Monsanto and Coca-Cola might like to dismiss GMO labeling advocates as a bunch of uninformed Luddites who are afraid of science and don't care about the world's hungry. But many scientists and informed humanitarians have real and significant concerns about GMOs.
In the 20 years since genetically modified crops first came on the market, studies have found that they have led to higher pesticide use, and no meaningful improvement in flavor, nutrition, yield or water requirements. And many independent scientists are deeply concerned that they have not been adequately tested and may even present health risks, and that their use has led not only to vastly increased use of pesticides but to a host of other environmental problems.
But companies like Coca-Cola, Pepsi, and Kellogg have joined forces with Monsanto to bankroll efforts aimed at keeping Americans from knowing which foods contain GMOs. And they've used money from sales of their natural brands to help finance the effort.
In November, Washington State voters narrowly rejected ballot initiative 522, which would have mandated the labeling of GMOs. The "no on 522" campaign broke state initiative fundraising efforts by pulling in more than $22 million, all but $550 of which came from out of state. They spent much of their record-setting haul on a barrage of ads deemed "mostly false" by the Seattle Times.
More than half of the "no" campaign funding came in the form of allegedly illegally laundered money. Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, and Nestle were the leaders in a group of companies that tried to finance the campaign through secret contributions to the Grocery Manufacturers Association. It took a lawsuit from the state attorney general to bring the truth to light.
It turns out that sales of Honest Tea, one of the world's fastest growing organic and non-GMO brands, were joined by sales of Zico, Simply Orange, Odwalla, and Powerade, along with Coke itself, in helping to bankroll a secret scheme to keep GMOs from being labeled.
Fortunately for fans of the right to know what's in our food, there's a petition and boycott campaign underway, launched by the Food Revolution Network (for which I serve as CEO), and the Center for Food Safety. We are pushing Coca-Cola to be accountable to the natural foods consumers from whom it profits, by ceasing to fund efforts aimed at derailing GMO labeling. More than 135,000 people signed on in the first two weeks.

Model Legislation Aims To Help Cities Bring People Of Color Into Marijuana Industry
In the continuing work to diversify the legal cannabis space and include communities that have been hurt the most by the war on drugs, advocates have unveiled a model local ordinance that would help more people of color enter the industry.The Model Municipal Social Equity Ordinance, released Monday by the Minority Cannabis Business Association (MCBA), "creates a baseline framework for adopting and advancing social equity in the cannabis industry as official public policy."The document was drafted with assistance from the National Cannabis Industry Associationand the Drug Policy Alliance.

(Reuters) - Consumer research services provider Nielsen Holdings Plc said on Wednesday it had teamed up with cannabis analytics company Headset, to help packaged goods companies understand the U.S. cannabis market.The U.S.-specific strategic alliance builds on Nielsen's recent acquisition of Cannabiz Consumer Group, a firm which focuses on studying the impact of marijuana legalization on consumer spending and shopping trends.
House Bill Introduced to Remove Marijuana from List of Controlled Substances
Even before it began, 2019 has been hailed as the year of marijuana, with good reason: the number of Americans who support legalization has reached record highs, and an increasing number of Democratic presidential candidates are advocating for drug reform and an end to our draconian, racist drug laws.On Thursday morning, Reps. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) and Don Young (R-AK) introduced what they called a "landmark" piece of legislation, the Ending Federal Marijuana Prohibition Act of 2019, which is "the only bipartisan piece of legislation that would allow states to make independent choices about their marijuana programs," according to Young.
Beto O'Rourke calls for nationwide legalization of marijuana
Former Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-Texas) on Monday expressed support for the federal legalization of marijuana as he mulls a potential presidential bid in 2020.CNN reported that O'Rourke sent an email to supporters in which he backed the repeal of the federal criminalization of marijuana and called for the records of those jailed over marijuana possession to be expunged.O'Rourke pitched the overhaul of federal marijuana laws as part of a broader array of criminal justice reform proposals, CNN reported. Others included allowing convicted criminals to apply for loans, and banning the box on job application forms that requires job applicants to disclose their criminal history.
Barbara Lee Files Three Pieces Of Social Justice Marijuana Legislation In One Day

Barbara Lee (D-CA) introduced three wide-ranging marijuana bills in Congress on Thursday.The congresswoman, who was named as a co-chair of the Congressional Cannabis Caucus last month, re-filed legislation to end federal cannabis prohibition, bar the federal government from using funds to interfere in state-legal marijuana programs and encourage reform policies to help communities of color participate in the legal market.
Brooklyn DA: Prosecution of low-level marijuana cases down 98 percent
Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said last week that his office is no longer prosecuting low-level marijuana possession cases and is vacating more than 1,400 related warrants.Over the past year, the number of simple marijuana possession cases prosecuted in Brooklyn was down by 98 percent, Gonzalez told attendees at a Community Board 2 meeting last Wednesday night."It costs my office about $2,000 a pop to process a marijuana arrest. That's your tax dollars and it's not keeping us safer," he said. "I'd rather spend that $2,000 working on a sex crime or domestic violence case."Gonzalez said that looking over the statistics made it glaringly obvious that something was wrong with marijuana arrests in Brooklyn.
FDA on CBD Edible Crackdown: We Will Continue to "Closely Scrutinize"
This week, state and local authorities cracked down on foods containing the increasingly popular cannabis extract cannabidiol, better known as CBD. Public health officials in Maine, New York City, and Ohio have banned sales of foods containing CBD, citing US Food and Drug Administration guidelines. On Wednesday, North Carolina appeared ready to follow suit. As the dominoes fall, however, the FDA is remaining mostly silent on the multi-state crackdown.
Freshman representative Ocasio-Cortez shows cannabis industry not immune to the ills of corporate lobbying
On Wednesday, Democratic rising-star and New York representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took the occasion of the House Financial Services subcommittee hearing on issues of cannabis banking to bring to light a well-known but little-discussed congressional practice.Lobbyists, looking for guaranteed seats in a hearing will often pay homeless people to hold their spot in line. Speaking truth-to-power, she noted that not only is it a shameful act that takes advantage of those less fortunate, but it disenfranchises the voices of everyday American people in favor of rich and powerful corporate lobbyists.
Clearing an Old Marijuana Conviction Record Just Got a Lot Easier
When cannabis became legal for adult recreational use at the start of 2018, a provision in the new law opened the door for individuals who were convicted of certain kinds of marijuana-related crimes in the past to petition to have their criminal records cleared. Actually taking the state up on that offer, however, remained expensive and complicated. Now, as of January 1, 2019, a follow-up law has gone into effect, aiming to make the process more accessible to Californians—and advocates say it will go a long way toward helping those individuals live free from the stigma of a drug arrest.
Congressional Democrats Release Report On Marijuana Legalization's Economic Benefits
Democrats on the congressional Joint Economic Committee published a report on Tuesday highlighting the "economic benefits of legalized cannabis at the state and national levels."Titled, "The National Cannabis Economy," the report finds that the marijuana industry brought in more than $8 billion in sales in 2017, with sales estimated to reach $11 billion this year and expected to soar to $23 billion by 2022."The growth of the cannabis economy presents opportunities for greater job creation, more tax revenue, and better patient care," the report concludes after summarizing the banking and tax fairness issues that current federal policy causes for state-legal marijuana businesses.

Vojni sud sud je koji vodi postupke za vojna kaznena djela unutar oružanih snaga. Pored vojnih sudova postoje i vojno tužiteljstvo, istražna tijela i branitelji. Vojni sudovi obično osiguravaju vojne stege, osobito u ratu. Prvi vojni sudovi postojali su već u starom Rimu. Tijekom 17. i 18. st. i nakon Francuske revolucije a osobito tijekom I. i II. svjetskog rata proširili su se u Europi.
