After about 8 months since I started using the service I would like to share my experiences with TigerVPN.
TigerVPN provides VPN connections the customers can use to protect their privacy and surf more anonymously in the internet. Before getting that TigerVPN account I used Hide.me for about 2 years. But the offer for a lifetime account I found convinced me to try something new. And I couldn't be happier. What exactly a lifetime account is will be explained later.
Unlike Hide.me which also offers HTTP proxies, TigerVPN only provides VPN connections to their customers. There are no HTTP proxies or other services. But first let me introduce the VPN connections offered so you have an idea on what to expect.
There are four different plans available where one is a limited test account you can use for free and three paid plans. The testing plan called "Test Tiger" comes with 500 MB traffic, a limited speed and you only can connect to some of the servers. The paid plans reach from $6.67 per month for the 12-months plan up to $9.99 per month for the 1-month plan. The run time of each plan is nearly the only difference between the plans because all of them come with an unlimited bandwidth and speed, all server locations are available and you can use all available connection protocols. But the Hero Tiger plan comes with additional software licenses but more later.
Please notice that the unlimited bandwidth and speed are tied to a fair-use clause in the terms. If you exceed certain limits TigerVPN may limit your account or cancel it. Just to be warned.
A complete overview of all server locations can be found on the TigerVPN website.
These are just some points that may be important if you are currently searching for a new VPN provider.
As stated by TigerVPN itself they do not keep any logs of your connection except for the date (not time), server location and bandwidth used while being connected to their service. You are still pretty anonymous as you share an IP address with several other users (source). The small logs mentioned are only used to optimize their service.
Filesharing and torrents are not blocked by TigerVPN in any way. However the download and sharing of illegal contents is still prohibited and not tolerated in any way.
If you pick the Hero Tiger 12-months plan for $6.67 per month you will get two software licenses for free that are valid for the duration of your plan. One for Shimo VPN Manager and one for the StickyPassword Passwort Manager.
It may be a little bit tricky to either choose TigerVPN or another provider but if you are not Snowden and just want to be a little bit more private or access locked regions, TigerVPN may be the more reasonable choice for you. Just my two cents.
Disclaimer for newbies: even TigerVPN is not able to provide you 100% anonymity while surfing trough the web. Instead of relying on the VPN provider itself you should search the web for more information about how to stay anonymous in the internet. It is way more important which browser you do choose and how you interact with the internet itself.
The most important part of this article: my experiences with TigerVPN. I'm a customer for about 8 months now and I'm using a so-called lifetime account. This is a special plan that is only available for certain resellers like Stacksocial. These plans are paid once and grant you limited access to the TigerVPN services. I only have about 10 server locations available but you might be able to upgrade the plan later.
I do use OpenVPN clients only so I can only speak about the setup for these connections and not for the native TigerVPN apps themselves. You can download configuration files for your OpenVPN clients from your dashboard. Most of the clients offer an import of configuration files so it's more like a two-click way to set up your VPN connection. I assume that the native apps are also two-click solutions where you select your server location and click connect.
Speed. Speed is very important for most users so I ran some tests on Speedtest.net. Please notice that all connections were tested with a 400MBit connection from Berlin, Germany. Connections from New York to Los Angeles should be much faster.
As you can see the connection speed reduces based on the chosen server location. If you set a common speed of 50 – 100 Mbit for a German connection as your standard the speed reduction is not very dramatic. Even if I connect to the Los Angeles-based TigerVPN servers, which is about 9000 km away, I still have enough speed to watch Netflix, Hulu or other streaming services in FullHD.
I wasn't able to test the connections to exotic locations like Hong Kong or even Australia as they are not available with the lifetime account. You may expect further speed reductions. But I doubt that anyone needs a ultra-highspeed VPN connection to Australia so this is no problem at all.
To sum up: the test results are totally okay and there's no reason to criticize TigerVPN in terms of their connection speed.
I only had one problem where I had to contact the TigerVPN customer support. And I got an helpful and straight answer within one hour. The support was very polite and at the moment there is nothing that speaks against the provider. The customer support is available from their website. They also offer a FAQ page and like a small wiki where most of the questions are answered.
I can totally recommend TigerVPN for everyone who's searching for a new VPN provider. If you are interested you should try the TigerVPN service with the Test tiger plan.

As reported on eTN a year ago, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, and Egypt had cut diplomatic ties and all land sea and air contacts with Qatar, accusing the Persian Gulf country of supporting terrorism and interfering in their internal affairs.
A year Qatar Airways experienced a "substantial" loss in its last financial year, after access to 18 cities was eliminated in the four blockading nations. At the same time almost daily Qatar Airways reports about new routes, new service enhancement and just today the International Air Transport Association (IATA) announced that Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, His Excellency Akbar Al Baker, has assumed his duties as Chairman of the IATA Board of Governors (BoG) for a one-year term effective from the conclusion of the 74th IATA Annual General Meeting in Sydney, Australia.
With new stopover programs, Qatar Airways is promoting tourism to Qatar. Egypt was an important source market besides UAE and Saudi Arabia, but it is expected overall Qatar will be able to report surprising tourism arrivals despite the blockade.
Two years ago Qatar Airways was one of the main sponsor for the Arabian Travel Market in Dubai. This year no exhibitor from Qatar was allowed to participate at ATM.
In the days and weeks following the dispute, cargo ships and hundreds of planes loaded with food from Turkey, Iran, Oman, Morocco, and India entered Qatar to ensure there were no immediate shortages of supplies.
According to an International Monetary Fund report from March, Qatar's banking system has recovered from initial outflows and the economy is expected to grow 2.6 percent this year – compared to 2.1 percent in 2017. Even the country's fiscal deficit is estimated to have narrowed to about 6 percent of gross domestic product in 2017 from 9.2 percent in 2016 , the IMF said.
Saudi Arabia's King Salman has threatened to take military action if Qatar installs a Russian air defense system, France's Le Monde newspaper reported. A year on, however, Qatar has not only weathered the storm — it also appears to have emerged as the main winner of the conflict.
A global aviation safety watchdog's message to Qatar about its violation of international aviation norms in intercepting UAE civilian aircraft with military jets is a clear vindication of the UAE's concerns about Qatar's intentions, a top UAE civil aviation executive told Gulf News.
"During a special session, the International Civil Aviation Organisation [ICAO] reaffirmed that it was not the forum for arbitrating any political dispute but its mandate was to ensure the safety of civilian aircraft and their passengers – which Qatar is severely endangering through its actions." Therefore, the message from ICAO to Qatar was very clear: to coordinate effectively and in advance for any such military activities. The ICAO also made it clear that it will be monitoring Qatar closely and ensure that they do not try to commit similar violations in future, otherwise, they will be in a very bad situation.
Montréal, Canada, has been recognized as the permanent seat of ICAO since 1946. Canada and ICAO are currently discussing an arrangement covering the lease of the ICAO Headquarters premises, which would be effective from 1 December 2016 through 30 November 2036.
The State of Qatar had presented ICAO with an offer to serve as the new permanent seat of the Organization, also beginning in 2016. ICAO's consideration of the Qatar proposal stems from our official obligations under Article 45 of the Convention on International Civil Aviation (Chicago, 1944) and an ICAO Assembly Resolution (A8-5) regarding Consideration of proposals to move the permanent seat. These provisions stipulate that the Qatar offer must be considered by all of ICAO's 191 Member States at the next convening of the triennial ICAO Assembly, which will take place from 24 September through 4 October of this year.
Former Qatari prime minister Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani stated on Twitter in April that Israelis had the right to live in their own land, as do the Palestinians. These statements came days after similar remarks by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. News reports have surfaced indicating extensive behind-the-scenes diplomatic and intelligence cooperation between Saudi Arabia and Israel, in pursuit of mutual goals against regional enemy Iran.
Qatar relies on Iran after the blockade. Overflying Iranian territory by Qatar Airways is a top priority. Therefore Iran officially said it would not participate in any military activities that could upset Teheran.
A secret Israel trade office was in Israel for years and was one of the reasons for the current blockade.

Baseball falls to Newman, splits games against Winona State
Lilliana Black February 25, 2019	News Leave a comment 0 Views
The Pitt State baseball team had games against Newman on Thursday, Feb. 14 and Winona State on Sunday, Feb. 17. In the game against Newman, the team lost (3-7). They battled back on Sunday in a doubleheader against Winona State with a win in the first game (6-4) but lost the second and final game of the weekend (2-11).
Head coach Bob Fornelli believes the team learned from these games.
"We did not have a very good week," Fornelli said. "For some reason, we were a little off (and) definitely did not play our best baseball but I think we learned from it (and) hopefully we will grow from it and be better this week."
Despite battling back, the team was not able to secure a win during the second game on Sunday against Winona State.
"…I can't really tell you that we did anything great," Fornelli said. "I think Connor Lungwitz threw the ball well on Thursday, gave us a chance to win (but) we just could not get over the hump to win. On Sunday, Kinsey threw really well. We had a couple guys come up with some big hits in the fifth and sixth innings. They gave us an opportunity to win the first game and then in the second game (we) just did not play very good baseball."
The team will be working on improving during practice the week before the next games, which are the first games of the MIAA conference for baseball.
"(We are going to be working on) just trying to do the little things better," Fornelli said. "We did not do the little things very good this week. We got to get better. When we do fail, (we need to) get right back up on it and get after it and I think we have had a good week of practice so far and hopefully, that will show this weekend when we start conference."
According to Fornelli, the team needs to work on their offense before starting the conference this weekend.
"We have not been very good offensively," Fornelli said. "So, we hit a lot this week and hitting is contagious, so we just need a couple guys to get hot and everybody will follow."
Fornelli hopes for the team to improve during practice before facing their next opponent.
"It is conference time," Fornelli said. "We need to play well together, battle through any adversity that we might have this weekend and if we do that I think we will come out and play well."
The next games are against the Southwest Baptist University Bearcats at the Al Ortolani Field in Pittsburg. The first game is set to start at 3 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 22. Game two will begin on Saturday, Feb. 23 at 1 p.m. and game three is set to start at 12 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 24.

São Paulo, April 17, 2019 - GOL Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes S.A. (NYSE: GOL and B3: GOLL4) ("GLAI"), Brazil's #1 airline, in furtherance of its announcement on March 22, 2019, hereby announces to the market, in compliance with Article 156, paragraph 4, of Law No. 6.404/76 and CVM Rule No. 358, of January 3, 2002, that the initial purchasers of US$300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2024 (the "initial notes") issued on March 26, 2019 by GOL Equity Finance, an orphan special purpose vehicle organized under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (the "Issuer"), have exercised in full their option to purchase an additional US$45,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2024 (the "additional notes" and, together with the initial notes, the "notes"). The additional notes, guaranteed by GLAI and GOL Linhas Aéreas S.A., were issued pursuant to exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), in minimum denominations of US$100,000 and integral multiples of US$1,000 in excess thereof.
In connection with the initial purchasers' exercise of their option to purchase additional notes, the Issuer entered into certain privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain of the initial purchasers of the additional notes and/or other financial institutions (the "Counterparties"), which are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to GLAI's preferred shares and the ADSs upon any exchange of notes and/or offset any cash payments the Issuer is required to make in excess of the principal amount of exchanged notes, as the case may be, with such reduction or offset, subject to a cap based on the cap price. The cap price of the additional capped call transactions will initially be approximately US$27.75 per ADS (which represents a premium of approximately 85% above the public offering price of the initial ADSs sold in the concurrent offering of ADSs), and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the additional capped call transactions.
The Issuer will use the proceeds to purchase certain warrants of GLAI and to pay the cost of the additional capped call transactions described above, and will lend the remainder of the funds to GLAI and its affiliates.
The additional notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act, and they will only be offered or sold (1) in the United States to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act that are not affiliates of GLAI and that are also qualified purchasers (as defined in Section 2(a)(51) of the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940) and (2) outside the United States to certain non-U.S. persons that are not affiliates of GLAI in offshore transactions in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The ADSs deliverable upon exchange of the notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and, unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The resale of any ADSs deliverable upon exchange of the notes is expected to be registered on a shelf registration statement on or prior to the 180th day after March 26, 2019.


Theme parks are made for children. With the rides, midway games, entertainment shows, and lovable characters running around, children feed off of this mystical energy. But that doesn't mean that adults can't have just as much, if not more, fun than their younger counterparts.
On our recent trip to Orlando for a best friend's wedding, we decided to hit up not only one major theme park, but two – Walt Disney World Resorts and Universal Orlando Resort. Not only did we want to prove that adults can have fun at these parks too, but we wanted to see what the 'adult only' experiences were like for couples.
Giddy with excitement, we decided to spend one day in each theme park. Disney and Universal both have the equivalent of a park hopper pass, so we decided that this was the best way to optimize your time. Once we landed in Orlando the children in us became ecstatic, we couldn't contain it any longer, we were going to Disney World!
Keep reading for our tips, tricks and recommendations when visiting Disney World and Universal Theme Parks as adults!
If visiting for a limited time, park-hopper or park-to-park passes are the way to go. They give you access to multiple parks in one day and even allow re-entry! You get the most bang for your buck.
Be sure to plan your free fast passes for Disney World. You get three passes at any of the parks per day. So be sure to get on the rides you want by booking it a month before you go.
If possible, visit during offseason, which is usually any time but Summer and school vacation weeks in February/March/April. Think shorter lines, less crowds, and cooler weather.
Be sure to pack comfy walking shoes (we both hit 20,000 steps each day we went to the parks), shorts, tees, and a light sweatshirt or zip up. If visiting in seasons besides Summer, the mornings and evenings can get a little cool – you'll want an extra layer. You may also want a change of clothes if you are planning on going on some water rides.
Animal Kingdom: This park is dedicated to all things nature. From the animals roaming around the Tree of Life, to the new Pandora park inspired by the Avatar movies, this park is sure to please even the most animal averse partner.
Attractions: Head to Pandora first to see the floating rocks complete with water features. If you are willing to wait in lines, be sure to ride the Avatar Flight of Passage. If not, the Na'vi River Journey will blow your mind just as much. From there, head to any of the other countries. Africa has an amazing Safari complete with real Sahari inhabitants while Asia is for the thrill seekers. Escape from Mount Everest was by far our favorite ride at this Park.
Magic Kingdom: This park is for the dreamer, young or old. As they say discover 'endless enchantment where your fantasy becomes a reality.' From flying with Dumbo, to cruising the Atlantic with Captain Jack Sparrow, this is the park where your favorite movie characters come to life.
Attractions: The classic mountains are here – Space Mountain, Thunder Mountain, Splash Mountain! We also had to ride the carousel, the Pirates of the Caribbean, and Space Mountain. Oh and don't forget 'it's a small world.' Talk about a classic!
Eats: We decided to order pizzas at Pinocchio's Village Haus. They have daily specials which are worth it! Quick and easy bite to keep on moving.
Epcot: Appealing to the traveler in all of us, Epcot takes you under the sea, speeding around a race track, into outer space, and even around the world. Be sure to end up here at the end of your day for some amazing fireworks.
Attractions: The only ride we went on was Test Track, and it was more than worth it. This amazing ride simulates the testing that a new model car goes through, with an epic ending. As far at the other rides, Soarin' and Spaceship Earth are also great rides, we skipped these to drink 'round the world.
Eats: One of the best kept secret (or not) is how adult-centric the World Showcase is. Not only does each country have stands with food native to each region, but they have an open container policy, meaning you can literally drink around the world. If you aren't committed to hitting all 11 countries, then be sure to hit Mexico and Germany for the best margaritas and beer.. For dinner, we ate at Morocco's restaurant Spice Road Table, with a waterfront view across the lake to Epcot. The establishment was amazingly beautiful with tapestries and bright colors incorporated throughout the interior. The food was spiced to perfection and had succulent lamb and delicious veggie options. The staff was also extremely helpful and polite – perfect for an adult only evening!
Universal Studios: This park brings you on the set at some of your favorite movies, including Harry Potter's Diagon Alley, The Mummy, The Simpsons, and Men In Black. You feel like the most valued extra on set!
Attractions: If you're a Harry Potter fan, head straight to Diagon Alley first to ride Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts. This is the better of the two Harry Potter rides and one of the most authentic, exciting rides in the whole park. Other amazing rides include Revenge of the Mummy, Transformers: The Ride-3D, Shrek 4-D, and Men In Black Alien Attack for the competitor in all of us.
Islands of Adventure: The name of this park doesn't lie, this is the land for adventure! From your favorite Marvel characters to King Kong and Jurassic Park, you will set off on some of the most audacious thrill rides there are.
Attractions: Our biggest tip is to enter this park through the Hogwarts Express. Once at Hogsmeade, you can ride Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey to complete your Wizarding experience. After that, make your way to Jurassic Park, stopping at the River Adventure Ride on your way to Skull Island: Reign of Kong. Head to Popeye's Barges and Dudley Do Right's Falls once you say hello to the big gorilla. Keep in mind, you will need to dry off a bit before ending your day throwing webs with Spiderman.

New Mayor's vision + Poly's estate + Boutique City development
Penrith is New West
penrithNewWest.com.au
New Mayor's vision
Penrith's new Mayor John Thain (pictured right with new Deputy Mayor Tricia Hitchen) says bipartisan solidarity is the key to ensuring Penrith grows in a sustainable and positive manner. "It is more important than ever that Council works strongly together to mark and enhance our destiny as the New West – a strong regional city servicing greater Western Sydney." Cr Thain was elected on 26 September, for a two-year term.
Rail changes everything
Take 3 minutes to tell the Australian and State Government the only option for rail in Western Sydney is a north/south line.
Sydney can no longer be viewed as one city. Sydney is the global city, Parramatta is the central city and the 3rd city is the corridor between the North West and South West Growth Centres. Penrith sits at the heart of that growth belt. We're building a capital city and a capital city needs passenger rail. Only one option will truly unlock the potential of our region and deliver jobs for the future.

The latest report card for the Western Sydney Infrastructure Plan has been released, providing a comprehensive overview on the progress of the $3.6 billion package. The report shows that the 10-year plan to improve roads and rail links across the West is way ahead of schedule and 11km of the 61km in new roads being built to cater for the Western Sydney Airport are already underway.

Q: Why does this variable have a value before I do "function MyVar() {}"? I'm trying to understand why this code behaves the way it does:
test.js
var User;

console.dir(User);

function User(name) { // User = function(name) { ... seems not to be the same?
    this.name = name;
}

node test.js
[Function: User]

Why does User have a value before the function() statement?

A: Hoisting! http://www.adequatelygood.com/JavaScript-Scoping-and-Hoisting.html
var and function statements are automatically hoisted to the top of the script!
This allows functions to be used before they are defined, like this:
dothis();
function dothis() { alert('wow'); }

edit function statements like this are not affected:
myfunc(); // won't work
var myfunc = function() { alert('nope'); }

A: That function is defined at parse time.
Please refer to: var functionName = function() {} vs function functionName() {}

Villeneuve: Qualifying for Daytona 500 only topped by F1 and Indy victories
By Staff Report February 17, 2022 No Comments3 Mins Read
Villeneuve, who was F1 champion in 1997 and Indy 500 winner in '95, qualified his No. 27 Hezeberg Engineering Systems Ford Mustang on speed on Wednesday night for NASCAR's biggest race of the season on Sunday.
He takes one of the four non-charter spots on the grid, with Beard Motorsports' Noah Gragson also locking himself in via time trials.
When asked how his achievement ranked in his career, Villeneuve replied: "Super high. Obviously, it's not a win.
"It's not like winning the Indy 500 or the F1 championship, but at this point in my career the last time I tried to qualify here was 14 years ago, just to make the show is incredible because it's a small team.
"We didn't link up with a big team to get the car ready and it's highly unexpected to be able to make it on time, so it ranks right after these big wins.
"To be able to make such a big race at such a high level is amazing and when I'm in the race car I don't realize that I'm 50, which is good. As long as it carries on like this, I can't imagine myself stopping racing."

Villeneuve said that some people had written him off as a professional driver, but victory in the European NASCAR series at Vallelunga last year had proved he still had what it takes.
"It's satisfying and amazing because there's quite a few times where I've been hearing, 'OK, come on. You're past it. Just give it up,'" he said.
"The hunger has never stopped and experience is only a big help until the day where I guess you start getting your foot off the throttle because you get a little bit scared or you don't get that adrenaline rush anymore as a positive thing, but start getting it as a negative that's when you should stop, but until that moment experience is only a benefit."
Villeneuve, who is driving the car part-time until Team Hezeberg's primary driver Loris Hezemans gains enough experience to race at the bigger NASCAR tracks, didn't expect to qualify on speed and was concerned that he might not be able to race his way in via today's Duel race.
His last attempt to qualify via the Duels with Bill Davis Racing in 2008 ended in a multi-car crash (below) involving four-time IndyCar champion Dario Franchitti, 2010 Daytona 500 winner Jamie McMurray and Hollywood stuntman Stanton Barrett.

"I was convinced we didn't have the speed to get in on time, and I thought we would then have to fight it through the Duels," he admitted." Somehow the car was a lot easier to drive. It was easy to be smooth because we got in by not a lot.
"It was very, very close. It was all a matter of getting right up to speed coming out of turn two, going through the gears, getting away from the wall to not block the air, just getting these extra few revs and that made the difference."
The team is run by Toine Hezemans and businessman Ernst Berg, with technical support from Reaume Bros Racing. If the team gets a strong result on Sunday, it could mean an increased program in the Cup Series as it is not expected to appear at every round.

Eggistu, a house boy usually sneaks into his master's room to drink his wine. After drinking his master's wine, he adds water to top it up. One day his master bought a new wine called pasties; a french wine that changes colour if water is added to it.
Eggistu unaware of this, sneaks into his master's room, drank the new wine and added water on it. The wine immediately started changing colour.
Eggistu: Oh My God, I am in big trouble.
He ran to the kitchen. Meanwhile, his master and madam were sited in the parlour. While Eggistu was in the kitchen, his master sends for his wine. Eggistu runs in to get the wine, hands it to his master and returns to the kitchen. The following conversation ensued after his master noticed the change that happened to his wine.
Master: who drank my pasties?.
Master: Eggistu, I said who drank my pasties?.
His master walked to the kitchen and gave Eggistu a dirty slap.
Master: Are you insane or what?. Why is it that you responded when I called you but didn't when I asked you a question.
Eggistu: Master, I heard no question. I only heard my name.
Master: Liar!!! Can you prove it ?
Master: Is that so? Okay go to the parlour, stand beside madam and ask me a question while I stand here.
Eggistu: Who goes into the maid's bedroom when madam is not at home?.
room when madam isn't at home.
His master runs out of the kitchen.
Master: Wonders shall never end. Eggistu, it is really true, when one is in the kitchen, one can't hear any questions. All I just heard was my name.
MADAM: That's not true. It's a lie. I never believed you'll cheat on me. Oh My God.
Eggistu: Madam, do you want to be tested?.
MADAM: This kitchen needs to be fumigated o, I can't hear anything at all except my name.

If you find a marriage, you can ask the enterprise that sold you the product to replace it with a similar product of the same model, brand or article. Alternatively, you are entitled to a commensurate reduction in the purchase price of the purchased goods. To do this, you need to reach an oral agreement with the seller and confirm it with a written document that both parties sign.
The seller can offer you free of chargeeliminate all the shortcomings of the goods you found, or pay you the costs of their correction by third-party organizations. Your right is to agree to such a solution or to insist on replacing the goods with a new one. Most consumers prefer to replace the low-quality products, since they are distrustful of things in which defects have already been found.
In the event that none of the above optionsthe buyer is not satisfied with the solution of the problem, he has a legitimate reason to refuse the contract entered into upon the purchase of the goods and return the money for a defective product in full. Therefore, do not worry about how to return the goods to the store, since you have absolutely legal rights to do this.
The buyer, upon the request of the seller, must returnto him the goods in which he found faults. If you were not warned at the time of purchase that there are any defects in the product you buy, by default it is understood that you bought a quality product. Therefore, when you return the goods with the shortcomings that you found, you will not be liable for them: they are regarded as a factory marriage. Any statement by the seller that you have spoiled the thing is illegal. Before such a statement, the seller must conduct an expert examination of the goods in your presence and at your own expense. Before this happened, you have no right to be accused of the fact that a specific breakdown occurred solely through your fault. If you correctly treated the thing and are sure that you are not the cause of its breakdown, insist on an independent examination.
If you are not sure that you know how to returnthe goods to the store by all the rules, re-read all the listed items once again. And also pay attention to the following fact. In case you bring goods to the store for a refund, the seller does not have the right to redirect you to all sorts of services where you can be helped with "your" problem. By law, this is not your problem at all, but the seller's problem. You do not have to spend time troubleshooting. The seller must, at your first request, replace the goods or return the money paid for it.
How to return goods to the store in case you do notHave you kept a receipt that confirms your purchase? Under the law, to realize the consumer's right to return or replace the defective goods, the cash receipt is not a mandatory document for presentation. The seller is obliged to take back the goods without a check, but he is entitled in this case to carry out an expert examination of the quality of the goods you return on their own initiative.

Abstract: In this study, a nanofiber mesh made by co-electrospinning medical grade poly(ε-caprolactone) and collagen (mPCL/Col) was fabricated and studied. Its mechanical properties and characteristics were analyzed and compared to mPCL meshes. mPCL/Col meshes showed a reduction in strength but an increase in ductility when compared to PCL meshes. In vitro assays revealed that mPCL/Col supported the attachment and proliferation of smooth muscle cells on both sides of the mesh. In vivo studies in the corpus cavernosa of rabbits revealed that the mPCL/Col scaffold used in conjunction with autologous smooth muscle cells resulted in better integration with host tissue when compared to cell free scaffolds. On a cellular level preseeded scaffolds showed a minimized foreign body reaction. © 2008 VSP.

Allergies do not only affect people, your dog can also suffer from wide array of allergies. Allergens include everyday substances, even food, so you must be careful when you notice some of the symptoms.
Skin conditions can be often be helped with the right nutrition even if the cause is not dietary. Here is the list of food that can reduce severe dermatitis reaction.
Arthritis is the term used for abnormal changes in a joint that occur when cartilage is worn away faster than it can be replaced. Cartilage is a cushion that acts as a cushion to protect the bones. Joints become swollen and painful when it wears away.
Some symptoms of arthritis are similar to those of other serious conditions. Make sure you consult your veterinarian.
The brain is affected by the aging process just like the rest of the body. Damage to the brain's cells can lead to changes in your dog's behavior and alertness.
Half of all dogs over 8 years old will have some signs of brain aging. Your dog may begin to act differently as he ages.
Many experts agree that brain aging in dogs is primarily caused by free radicals. Some free radicals may be caused by the environmental conditions, but many are produced by the body's own metabolism.
Changes in brain function occur very slowly. You may notice small differences in behavior, or you may not notice them until they start to interfere with your dog's everyday life.
You can't stop free radicals from being produced in your dog's body. Antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins may counteract the damage they cause.
As your dog ages, continue to feed him foods rich in essential nutrients antioxidants to keep him active and alert. Older dogs can continue to have a high quality of life if they receive the nutrition they need.
Dogs can develop cancer, just like people. One of the most common cancers in dogs is osteosarcoma or bone cancer. Also common are lymphoma, a tumor of the lymph nodes, skin cancers, breast cancer, soft tissue sarcomas, oral cancers.
Breed - Certain cancers are more common in certain breeds.
Unfortunately as it turns out there is no universal cure for human cancer yet, same can apply to our pets. Surgery, radiation and chemotherapy can ease up or in some cases eradicate cancer.
Nutrition can help extending life for dogs undergoing cancer treatment and improve their quality of life. Increasing fatty acids, protein, and fat helps meet a dog's additional energy requirements during recovery from treatment.
Bad breath in your dog is not just annoying. It could be a sign of trouble such as gingivitis or periodontal disease. Plaque, a colorless film on your dog's teeth (and yours), causes gum disease and halitosis.
Your dog's vet will give her an oral checkup on each visit. You can schedule regular dental cleanings with your dog's vet. You can buy special treats to help clean her teeth.
The best solution is to prevent dental problems by learning to brush her teeth weekly when she is a puppy.
These disorders can be a result of genetic, environmental, or nutritional factors. You can greatly reduce your puppy's chances of developing a growth disorder if you start him out with good nutrition and give him veterinary care from the beginning.
If your puppy grows too fast, he may develop some of those symptoms. Some are more common with certain breeds.
Feeding him the right food in the right way is essential to your puppy's healthy development.
Growth disorders are easier to prevent than to treat. For large and giant breeds, veterinarians often recommend food with lower calcium and energy. Small and medium breeds do well with a properly balanced growth formula.
Just like in humans, diabetes in dogs is serious, but manageable.
Diabetes is usually caused by damage to the pancreas whereby it does not produce the proper amount of insulin to control your dog's sugar levels.
There is no cure for diabetes mellitus, but it can be managed with insulin, exercise, and proper nutrition. Fiber is important. Moderate to high levels of fiber lower blood glucose levels and insulin requirements, and fiber makes the body more responsive to insulin.
Consistency with feeding and food is essential.
Fleas are not a disease but they are a common problem for dogs and disease carrier.
They can cause anemia in puppies, which can be life-threatening. Dogs can become allergic to the saliva of fleas and then just one bite can cause a reaction. The sores from scratching can lead to skin infections.
Fleas also spread parasites such as tapeworms that can easily cause mess in your dog stomach and colons.
There are many very easy to use flea treatments now and your vet can recommend the best one for your dog.
Another way of protecting your dog is to prevent fleas and ticks by treating common grounds. For example you can treat your backyard and living room with one of remedies.
Food reactions are usually associated with protein sources – probably the meat in your dog's food. As we said earlier dog can be allergic to some foods.
It may take months or years for your dog to develop an allergic response to a particular food. Once he's allergic, though, he will almost always have a bad reaction to that food.
The most common allergens are beef, dairy, wheat, egg, chicken, lamb, soy, pork, rabbit, and fish. And, most dogs are usually allergic to more than one thing.
Try a food with a different protein source.
Gastrointestinal (GI) diseases and disorders affect your dog's intestines and stomach causing pain and other problems.
Colitis - An acute or chronic inflammation of the membrane that lines the colon. Most frequently caused by a change in food, allergies including food allergies, tumors or polyps, whipworms (a parasite), swallowed foreign objects, and some other diseases.
Constipation - Usually caused by aging; eating hair, bones or other foreign objects; insufficient fiber and water intake; trauma or fractures, tumors; prostate disease; large bowel nervous disorders; spinal cord disease; metabolic or endocrine disorders; and debilitation.
Diarrhea - Caused by stress, eating food from the garbage, infections, internal parasites, a food change, table scraps or bad snacks, or body organ dysfunction.
Gastroenteritis – Infection or inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, primarily the intestines and stomach. Causes may include stress, swallowing foreign objects, eating toxic plants, eating rancid or spoiled food, internal parasites, food allergies, and disease.
Pancreatitis - An inflammation or infection of the pancreas. Cause is frequently unknown. Potential causes are foods high in fat, people food scraps, infections, disease, or trauma.
Your dog's food can have a major impact on her GI tract health. Highly digestible food can prevent irritation to sensitive intestines and stomachs.
Lots of fiber combined with moderate fat levels in your dog's food helps to support proper intestinal function for your dog. Long-term nutritional management of the disorder may be required.
As last resort antibiotics may help if the cause is an infection.
Heart disease is a manageable condition. Treatment can't reverse heart disease but your dog can live a relatively normal life.
Aging is the primary cause of heart conditions in dogs. Other factors such as heartworm can also lead to heart disease.
If your dog has any of the following symptoms, take him to his vet for an accurate diagnosis. These symptoms are common in other diseases so you need an expert to pinpoint exact one.
As with people, a low-sodium food that will help reduce fluid build-up and make it easier for the heart to work effectively is recommended.
Dogs can contract many infections from viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa, internal and external parasites. A few of them are listed below.
Heartworm, or dog heartworm (dirofilaria immitis) is a parasitic roundworm that is spread from host to host through mosquito bites. It is a small thread-like worm that travels through the dog's bloodstream and lives in the heart and the lung arteries as an adult.
Heartworm infection may result in serious disease, and death is typically a result of congestive heart failure.
Symptoms rarely appear until six months after infection. Some dogs will never show signs of infection. Those that do may cough, especially during exercise, and tire easily during exercise.
Treatment is complex and your dog's condition needs to be stabilized before that can begin.
In cases where adult worms have built up in the heart without treatment, there will be severe weight loss, fainting, coughing up blood and, finally, death.
Kennel cough is an infectious respiratory disease caused by the bacteria bordetella bronchiseptica or by one of several viruses.
It most commonly occurs in dogs in close confinement and is spread by sneezing or coughing. It can lead to more serious conditions such as pneumonia.
Symptoms include sneezing, a harsh dry cough, snorting, retching, gagging, vomiting, fever. Treatment includes antibiotics as well as medicines to treat the symptoms. Any dog going to a high-risk environment should be vaccinated.
Lyme disease is caused by a bacteria that is transmitted by the bite of ticks and only causes symptoms in a small percentage of affected dogs.
When infection leads to disease in dogs, the dominant symptom is recurrent joint warmness and pain, lameness due to inflammation of the joints, possibly "shifting-leg lameness." The dog may also be depressed and have a poor appetite.
Other symptoms are a stiff walk with an arched back, sensitivity to touch, difficulty breathing, fever.
Diagnosis is difficult because many of the symptoms are common with other problems.
Treatment for less severe cases includes antibiotics and anti-inflammatories.
Serious complications include kidney damage and (rarely) heart or nervous system disease.
Instances of Lyme-related kidney disease appears to be more prevalent in Golden retrievers, Labrador retrievers, Bernese Mountain dogs, and Shetland sheepdogs.
There are two types of mange in dogs. Demodectic mange is caused by a parasitic mite called demodex that lives in a dog's hair follicles. Symptoms of this mange include redness, hair loss, and scaling. It is not contagious to humans.
Sarcoptic mange is caused by sarcoptes scabiei canis, a parasitic mite that burrows into the skins and causes scabies. Symptoms include intense itching and scaling, and is contagious to humans.
Treatment includes scabicidal shampoos and dips. The dog should be quarantined from humans and other pets for the duration.
Parvo, or canine parvovirus, is a gastrointestinal infection caused by a virus and mainly affects puppies. If untreated, fatality can be as high as 91%.
Parvo is highly contagious and is spread from dog to dog by contact with feces.
Vaccines can prevent this infection. Dogs should be vaccinated at early age, it can be costly but your dog will be safe from parvovirus for rest of his life.
Signs of the disease may include lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea (usually bloody), and fever. Diarrhea and vomiting result in dehydration, and secondary infections can occur as a result of the weakened immune system. The intestinal lining is compromised, leading to anemia endotoxemia. Any or all of these factors can lead to shock and death.
Treatment usually involves extensive hospitalization, due to severe dehydration and damage to the intestines and bone marrow.
Rabies (hydrophobia) is a viral disease that causes acute inflammation of the brain and can affect any mammal. It is fatal and can spread from dogs to humans. It is transmitted primarily through bites.
Symptoms include confusion, violent movements, uncontrolled excitement, fear of water, an inability to move parts of the body, and loss of consciousness. It usually takes one to three months for symptoms to show up.
Humans can survive the disease if treated with a vaccination before the symptoms appear.
Vaccination of dogs for rabies is commonly required by law.
The kidneys remove waste from the bloodstream and regulate fluids in the body. If the kidneys can't do their job, your dog could die. If your dog is diagnosed with kidney disease, your veterinarian may describe it as either acute or chronic.
Unfortunately, the symptoms of kidney disease usually do not appear until more than two-thirds of kidney function has been lost. Kidney failure can't be reversed.
The liver filters toxins from the bloodstream, among other important functions. Because it works to rid the body of so many substances, damage could come from many different sources.
Buildup of fluid in the abdomen that could be mistaken for sudden weight gain.
Early diagnosis can allow for treatment through diet.
More than 50% of the pets in the U.S. are overweight. Obesity in dogs can cause many health problems that can limit your dog's play time and lead to depression.
Your dog's doctor will weigh him at every checkup. You can do a quick check yourself by placing your hands on his side. Are his ribs difficult to feel?
Your dog will need more exercise to lose weight. More important, your veterinarian can suggest or prescribe a weight loss dog food – low fat and low calorie - to help your dog stay fit. Fiber is an important ingredient, as it will help your dog feel full while eating less.
Your dog may now be prone to weight gain will need an ongoing weight-management plan and regular weigh-ins.
Feeding your dog a poor diet can cause urolithiasis, a urinary tract disease in which crystals or stones form the urinary tract and cause pain, irritation, and possibly blockage. This is similar to kidney stones in people.
There is no single cause of urinary tract disease.
Foods high in calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and protein have been linked to stone formation.
Feeding your dog a food with restricted amounts of those minerals may assist in dissolving some types of formations in the urinary tract.
Any dog that has been treated for urinary tract disease may develop it again. Continue to management the disease through nutrition and watch closely for recurring symptoms.

The Battle of Ragogna and the Breakthrough of Cornino (October 30th  November 3rd, 1917)
The Austrian-Hungarian Defensive Project (1917 - 1918)
In the years before the Great War, the whole basin of the Tagliamento River was powerfully fortified by the Italian Army. This stronghold, counting some 40 armored sites across a wide area, centered on the main Friulan waterway, was the crowning of the State Defense Project, intended to offer a stable defensive "buffer" along the Italian borders. The Forts of Friuli were built over the first fifteen years of the Twentieth Century, belatedly if compared both to the Austrian-Hungarian infrastructures in Carinthia and to other theaters in Italy. Nevertheless, they had to carry out the critical strategic task of locking the "Friulan Gate", historically the point of contact between the Latin nation and the continental ones but, above all, the forced axis of attack for penetrating either side's defenses.
The installations in hand were of several types (from true and proper heavy forts, to less durable permanent gun emplacements), which had been devised by the military decision-makers of the Kingdom of Italy to counter the expected Austrian-Hungarian threat. This possibility was never really dismissed, notwithstanding the formal "Triple Alliance" signed in 1882 by Italy and the Central Powers, because of the never-subsiding rivalries between Italy and the Habsburg, and the strong irredentist claims left by the Risorgimento that characterized the political and social discourse at the time.
The territory included among Forgaria, Ragogna, San Daniele and Pinzano was immediately identified as a key node for the purposes of permanent fortification. Mt. Ragogna, an isolated high ground with its 512 meters of height on the left of the Tagliamento, had by itself a relevant tactical value. Additionally, at a time when the only possibilities of massively crossing wide waterways were entrusted to the few bridges then existing and the land communication lines had a vital strategic role, the area featured the Spilimbergo - Gemona railway, and the bridges of Pinzano (road), Cornino (railroad) and later Pontaiba (military use). Thus, this area became the keystone of the "Medio Tagliamento" system.
Following this reasoning, in 1908 the High Commission for State Defense, headed by the Chief of Staff, General Saletta, provided for the construction of a suitable fortified complex in the area of Pinzano and on Mt. Ragogna.
During 1909 the core of the wall was armed; that is, the permanent barbette batteries, each having four 149mm guns, named "Ragogna Bassa" (lower) and "Ragogna Alta" (higher) or "del Cavallino". These strongpoints, positioned at the Western and Eastern ends of Mt. Ragogna respectively, thus hosted a total of eight ordnance pieces, but they were potentially organized to line up twice as much.
For the purpose of supplying the fortified system, bold war mule-trails were opened across the broken hillsides facing the Tagliamento. Several deep communication trenches, machine-gun nests, foxholes, redoubts and shelters completed the strongpoint.
In the vicinity of Pinzano, on Col Colàt (height: 280 mt.), an important fortification was built in 1909 for four 149mm guns, with powder magazines, barbettes and an access road. On the other hand, work on several roads was begun (such as the widening of the "Regina Margherita" road in Val d'Arzino or the bold mule-trail of Mt. Cuar); these were of great benefit to the local population, but they were mainly intended to guarantee good communications in a militarily decisive sector.
The role that the Ragogna bridgehead played in the pre-war years has also been disclosed by the attitude of the Austrian-Hungarians before the conflict. They organized an elaborate espionage service aimed at gathering as much intelligence as possible with regard to the Italian defensive laboratory. Two cases of intelligence operations by the Habsburg were documented in detail between 1913 and 1914, the latter of which ended with the conviction of an agent, Vittorio M. of Venice, who was arrested by the Reali Carabinieri, the Italian military police, in suspicious circumstances on Mt. Ragogna.
Back to the Headlines
The Friulan territory became a "war zone" with the declaration of war against the Austrian-Hungarian Empire by the Kingdom of Italy (May 24th, 1915). Since the very first shots, the front stabilized along a virtual line that started with the Carnic and Julian Alps, followed the Isonzo River, surrounded the Karst heights and reached the Adriatic Sea at Monfalcone. Therefore, the Friulan permanent fortifications were left out of the operations, which were taking place beyond the range of their artillery.
This situation suggested the High Command to disarm almost entirely the Tagliamento Line, in order to send garrisons and weaponry to the front, where both men and equipment were urgently needed. The forts of Ragogna and Pinzano were not spared this demobilization order, and they were turned into logistical bases.
However, the first years of war saw the blossoming of several communication lines, which were also intended to boost the potential of the permanent fortifications: between 1915 and the summer of 1917, for instance, the Italians built the Pontaiba footbridge, the road along the namesake valley, the Cornino - Trasaghis road, and a remarkable network of mule-trails among the ridges of the Carnic Alps foothills. In 1916, the entrenchment system came to light, on three lines that as of today still mark the slopes of the mountain, from the Colle del Castello at San Pietro to Cimano: at the time, it was visited even by the King of Italy, Vittorio Emanuele III. Besides, the town of San Daniele became an important node in the rear areas, with barracks, the "Casa del Soldato" (Soldiers' House) and several typically military structures.
In August, 1917, the Italian Chief of Staff, General Cadorna, prophesized what was going to happen two months later and thought about forming an impressive tactical reserve group at the Ragogna bridgehead. But the tail end of the 11th Battle of the Isonzo distracted him, and the project was abandoned.
It was by the time of the breakthrough at Caporetto (October 24th, 1917) and the consequent unstoppable Austrian and German advance, that the Tagliamento front was hurriedly bolstered. On October 30th, 1917, the vanguards of the 14th Imperial Army already overcame the defenses of San Daniele, and came into contact with the outer perimeter of the garrisons of Ragogna and Cornino, threatening to outflank the 3rd Italian Army to the South and the 4th to the North-West. The outcome of the war would be played out among the Pinzano bridge, Mt. Ragogna and the Cornino bridge.
The Battle of Ragogna and the Breakthrough of Cornino (October 30th - November 3rd, 1917)
From October 30th and November 3rd, 1917, one of the most important engagements of the withdrawal was fought among Pinzano, Ragogna and Forgaria: the Battle of Ragogna and the Breakthrough of Cornino.
Having conquered the town of San Daniele, on October 30th no less than four imperial divisions converged towards the Pinzano and Cornino bridges, whose defenses were centered around Mt. Ragogna and the "Clapàt".
The Mt. Ragogna ridgeline was manned by the "Bologna" Brigade, a battalion of the "Barletta" Brigade and by four MG companies. The Cornino bridge, the Mt. Prat heights, the Peonis road and the Flagogna plains were defended by 1,000 men of the "Genova" and "Siracusa" Brigades, by the "Lombardia" Brigade and by two battalions of the "Lario" Brigade.
These units had been mobilized in the controversial Special Army Corps, which had been established under General Di Giorgio on October 26th-27th, in order to maintain the strategic link between the XII Corps of Carnia and the 2nd Army, therefore ensuring the withdrawal of the "bulk" of the army. Actually, this "emergency" unit, stretched out across the Middle Tagliamento between Spilimbergo and Trasaghis, found itself in the burdensome necessity of wholly replacing the defensive role of the 2nd Army's left wing, by now completely routed.
Notwithstanding the evident inferiority in men and equipment (in some points the Austrians and Germans enjoyed a 12:1 ratio advantage over the enemy forces) and the unfavorable situation for the defenders, who were fighting with a crumbling morale and from poorly built trenches, the order by the Italian commands was clear: "Resist at all costs!".
The troops of the Austrian divisions of the "Krauss" group and the 12th "Silesian", after having uselessly attacked (with the 50th and 55th Austrian-Hungarian units) the Cornino bridge, which was effectively defended by machine guns on the Clapàt islet and by the few Italian artillery pieces deployed on the right of the river, attacked Mt. Ragogna on October 31st. They bypassed San Giacomo (with the 12th "Silesian") and Muris (with the 50th Austrian-Hungarian). At the same time, the 13th German Division unleashed a furious counter-battery fire against the enemy artillery, deployed on the heights of Pinzano, and outflanked the defensive bridgehead to the South-West. The German Alpenkorps, which Lieutenant E. Rommel was serving in, crossing Pontaiba on November 3rd, 1917 just behind the first vanguard units, was committed towards the Bonzicco bridge and in the Aonedis area.
The attackers climbed more than once the slopes over the village of Muris and the Rio del Ponte, but they were forced to withdraw by furious and unexpected counterattacks by the Italians.
At 03:00 a.m. on November 1st, the machine gunners deployed on the Clapàt disengaged across the swollen Tagliamento towards its right shore, damaging the Western span of the Cornino bridge. However, the explosive available was insufficient in quantity and poor in quality, thus the bridge was not entirely demolished.
At the same time, the footbridge of Pontaiba, too, a narrow passageway over the Tagliamento completed by the Engineers in 1916, had been seriously compromised: the one way out for the heroic infantrymen of the "Bologna" Brigade remained the Pinzano bridge.
On the morning of November 1st, the 12th Division (General Von Lequis), "the one of Tolmino", supported by tens of batteries and a regiment of the 13th Schützen, launched the attack that was meant to be decisive. But, even if they came within some 300 meters of the Pinzano bridge, the Silesians' drive was pushed back by the survivors of the "Bologna" Brigade.
However, given the severity of the situation, General Sanna, commander of the 33rd Division and therefore of the whole front interested, ordered the Pinzano bridge to be blown up. Since the engineers could hear the fighting raging among the houses of San Pietro, they were more than relieved to light up the fuses. Some sources report that the deafening explosion involved some German vanguards that were already crossing over the bridge.
The destruction of the Pinzano bridge, carried out at 11:45 a.m., closed any possibility of retreat for those who were defending the Mt. Ragogna trenches on the left of the Tagliamento: nevertheless, the infantrymen opposed a hopeless resistance until sunset, when it was unavoidably overcome.
Hundreds of Austrian and German soldiers met with death, no less than four hundred bodies of Italian servicemen were later collected by the inhabitants and buried, in part, in the no longer existing war cemetery of Ragogna (at the memorial monument of Ragogna, there still is a plaque installed by the German Cemetery Department, remembering 37 Italians who were hit by "friendly fire" by tragic mistake). Some three thousand survivors were captured by the enemy. The overall commander of the Imperial 14th Army, General Otto von Below, conceded the honors of war on the Vittorio Emanuele II Square of San Daniele to the warriors of the "Bologna" and to their valiant commander, Colonel Carlo Rocca. Also, the official Austrian report, just like every Italian source, praises the "heroic defense" of the Savoy infantry on October 30th and November 1st, 1917.
Having unhinged the Mt. Ragogna position, Prince Schwarzenberg and his Jaegers headed for breaking the front at Cornino. With regard to the Austrian nobleman, a great historical and military figure, it is worth recalling his adventurous slipping and consequent "swimming" in the ice-cold water of the Tagliamento in full spate; a banal accident that, in time of war, could have cost him his life.
Between November 1st and 2nd, with support by the daring action of the artillery deployed right in the first line, and exploiting the uncertain attitude of the Italian commanders, the Bosnian soldiers of Major Redl (K.u.K. I.R. IV/4º) firstly occupied the islet of Clapàt, and then they assaulted the thinly stretched companies of the "Lombardia" Brigade, entrenched on the right shore of the Tagliamento. Notwithstanding their combative resistance, the infantrymen were overcome, and in the night of November 3rd the Austrians of the "Krauss" Group overwhelmed the Italian defense line, encircling and destroying most of the "Lombardia" Brigade (Col. Puglioli), which bravely fought in the vicinity of San Rocco and on the highland of Mt. Prat. The surge by the few units belonging to the "Lario" and "Barletta" Brigades was likewise defeated in the partial entrenchments they had dug among Pontaiba, Flagogna and Forgaria.
The defensive action of Mt. Ragogna allowed the Royal Army's columns to gain the time needed to organize an effective withdrawal, and to complete the defense line on the new front (Piave - Grappa - Altipiani). A doubt was cast on the invincibility of the attackers, who had to commit significant efforts for the above-mentioned repeated attacks. However, the success was scaled down by the decision of the higher HQs, which was explicitly meant to sacrifice an effective, useful brigade like the "Bologna" on the altar of a moral redemption after Caporetto, while a disengagement of that unit was still possible.
The imperial breakthrough at Cornino, named the "Second Caporetto", doomed the 36th and 63rd Divisions to encirclement, being still trapped among the Carnic Alps foothills, and provided the events with such a maneuver momentum that could have turned out to be very dangerous for the Italian redeployment. In the end, the Italian soldiers fighting between Ragogna and Forgaria, (some 7,500 men), by withstanding the impact by enormously stronger in numbers and equipment (at least 25,000 men), offered to the bulk of the Royal Army that time delay that in the final analysis was shown to be indispensable for the purposes of the recovery from the Piave.
During the year of Imperial occupation (Nov. 1917 - Nov. 1918), the Austrian-Hungarian army also organized an entrenched compound for the defense of the Middle Tagliamento, a sector that would have become decisive should the Italian break through the Piave frontline.
The keystone of the system was a complex of fortifications on the higher shores of the Tagliamento, South of Villuzza (Ragogna), built in 1918 by the cadets of an Engineer Corps Technical School. The Corps HQ was in Pignano, in Villa Locatelli, not far from the local military infrastructures of the time.
In the event, when the Royal Army overcame the Austrian-Hungarian armies following the Battle of Vittorio Veneto (Oct. - Nov. 1918), the K.u.K. permanent defense of Ragogna opposed no resistance at all against the advancing Italian units.

Hong Kong, as an international center for trade, finance and shipping, could help enterprises in the Pan-Pearl River Delta Region expand their presence in the international market and help Chinese mainland cities attract foreign investment, Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor said on Friday.
She said Hong Kong's finance industry could help mainland enterprises be listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
Lam made the remarks in Nanning, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, where she was attending the 2019 Pan-Pearl River Delta Regional Cooperation Executive Chiefs Joint Meeting.
On people-to-people exchanges, Lam said Hong Kong's Vocational Training Council plans to set up a center in Guangxi to strengthen exchanges between young people in the mainland and Hong Kong.
Participants of the meeting identified six key tasks for the coming year, which include promoting the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, connecting infrastructure and deepening industry, tourism and ecology cooperation, the Xinhua News Agency reported on Friday.
Lam visited the Guangxi-Hong Kong Standards and Testing Centre (STC) on Friday.
The Administration for Market Regulation of Guangxi signed a cooperation agreement with the STC in June to offer international quality certification to Guangxi enterprises and promote more Guangxi products and brands in the international market.
The Pan-Pearl River Delta Region, which covers an area that produces one-third of China's GDP, includes Hainan, Yunnan, Hunan, Guangdong, Jiangxi, Fujian, Sichuan and Guizhou provinces and the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, as well as the Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions.
Lam's Guangxi visit comes amid Hong Kong's ongoing turmoil that has seriously affected its economy.
On Friday, global credit rating agency Fitch Ratings downgraded Hong Kong's long-term foreign currency issuer default rating to "AA" from "AA+" and said Hong Kong's ratings outlook is negative.
But Lam said she did not agree with the ratings, as what happened in the past two months did not weaken the "one country, two systems" and the rule of law.
Lam said the continued violence affected business confidence in Hong Kong, and some people may be anxious and have a negative view of Hong Kong. But the Hong Kong government will be more determined to uphold the "one country, two systems," and she called on residents who care about Hong Kong to stop violence as soon as possible.
