In October I started a series of posts on agile. For me there were three reasons to start writing those posts. First, I worked in an agile environment, second, I felt there had to be more to agile than its most commonly mentioned method SCRUM and third it was a way of preparing myself to go to the Agile Testing Days. Now that I have returned from the conference I would like to share my experiences with you in several posts. I am going to use the discussion with Huib Schoots about going to conferences as a starting point to describe the social aspect of going to a conference. Other posts will go deeper into the content when I have digested the information bombardment.
Why should testers attend conferences?
My argument at the time was: "Conferences typically are the place where you can learn the latest developments and opinions, submerge yourself into the testing mindset, confer with your peers, refresh your ideas and expand your network".
Well at the Agile Testing Days this was absolutely true. But, and this is something I will have to be adamant about, this does not happen automatically. There are a few conditions to consider. Preparation You need to prepare yourself; for instance by knowing who the speakers are and what their subjects are. And not only to determine to which talks you want to go but also to ask yourself if it would be interesting to talk and discuss with them about it. Being Approachable Most of the speakers and delegates, as I have experienced, are very approachable and like to talk to you about almost anything. A conference can be so much better if you are open to this yourself and are courageous enough to step up to others and start a conversation. Look beyond the program Conferences, typically those that host different nationalities of speakers and delegates, do not stop when the talks are finished. Get together with the people you meet. Go out and have dinner with them, or get a drink at the bar. Why would you lock yourself up in your hotel room. A conference is not like a class room where you enter at a scheduled time and leave once class is over. Enjoy Go and talk about what you have on your mind. It does not even have to be about anything from the conference or testing even. There is great stuff to learn, great people to meet and lots of fun to have. And even if you think you have nothing to talk about there is a lot to gain by listening and watching the interaction. But I am pretty sure once you are there conversations will happen.
Having said all of the above you might question how I fared myself. Well I started with inquiring who else, other than my colleagues (Frank Pellens, Huib Schoots, George Stevens and Robert Copoolse), was going to go the Agile Testing Days by sending out a few tweets on this matter. As it turned out there was a division between either the Agile Testing Days and with EuroSTAR within my followers. After some conversation Lisa Crispin and I agreed to meet on the Sunday evening before the conference. Now having set a date others would be able to join in. We ended up having a very enjoyable and entertaining dinner at Petite Pauline with Tamara Taxis, Liz Keogh (Picture: Liz folding origami animals from Euro bills), David Evans, Stephan Kämper, Huib Schoots, Bob and Lisa Crispin and myself. Back at the hotel we went for another drink at the bar and found that several people that we as a group knew, like Michael Bolton, were to be found there also. So even before the conference had started I was meeting new people, talking to them and started a rolling snowball that would keep on growing during the rest of the conference.
Now that I had made contact and kept an open spirit I found myself getting to know lots of new and interesting people during the conference. Additionally I reconnected with people who I had met before and all of them added to my story of these Agile Testing Days. A story that enriched me and let me have much more content, context, depth and interactivity during the conference than when I had only gone there to listen.
One of the other highlights was something Huib Schoots and I organized. Having heard about lightning talks and rebel alliances at other conferences we kind of felt the Agile Testing Days should have something similar. And if it were to happen we wanted to be part of it. So what better way to ensure that than to organise one ourselves. We contacted the guys from Diaz-Hilterscheid and after some explanation we were allowed to rent a room at the venue. Shortly after we made an initial selection of people we would like to meet and that we knew were coming to the Agile Testing Days. In that mail we called our gathering the Potsdam agile Testers Session or PaTS. We planned to start with the people who reacted positively on our mail and would see who else would like to join us whilst in Potsdam. On the third day of the conference we (Rob Lambert; Rob van Steenbergen; Daniel Lang; Janet Gregory; Simon Morley; Brett L. Schuchert; James Lyndsay; Stevan Zivanovic; Jim Holmes; Bart Knaack; Lisa Crispin; Olaf Lewitz; Mike Scot; Jurgen Appelo; Thomas Ponnet; Cecile Davis; Michael Bolton; Huib Schoots and myself) got together in the TestLab, ordered some beer and pizza and started talking.
While getting in the mood for the Agile Testing Days 2011 in Potsdam I remembered seeing a XP exercise sometime before. Essence of the exercise was to use the agile manifesto, its principles and to link them to development practices. This really felt as a great practical extension to my previous two posts on agile. Only trouble was that it had forgotten who wrote it so the exact steps were unknown to me. Also I remembered that it originally targeted an XP development audience and that I felt that it needed some adjustment to be useful for (non-coding) testers.
At the same time I was getting ready to participate in the TestNet workgroup theme night with the Agile Testing workgroup. While e-mailing with the workgroup chair, Cecile Davis, I offered to use a recreation of the exercise suitable for testers and to translate the manifesto and principles into Dutch along the way.
At the following meet the other workgroup members liked my idea and draft version of the exercise. So at the TestNet workgroup night on November 8 I have presented and executed the exercise in front of some 30 people.
All in all the execution of the exercise was a success and I received positive feedback. Several participants were interested in doing the exercise with their team. But personally to be honest I quickly saw after the introduction that in spite of the good idea the six exercise steps I had written were not going to work with such a large group. So the exercise was saved by improvising, getting some goodwill and by offering additional explanation during and after the execution. Also I discovered that trying to keep it inside the period of an hour was a real challenge.
In good agile tradition I concluded the evening with a retrospective. Combining feedback from the participants with my own feedback I put new items on the (virtual) backlog. First one was to write this post, second to do a re-write of the exercise in general and thirdly to make an adaptation of the exercise steps in order to make them suitable both for smaller and larger groups. Both the content and the 'new' exercise steps of the exercise will be part of the following sections. The Dutch version, containing I believe the first complete translation of both the agile manifesto and the principles, will be placed on the TestNet 'Agile Testen' workgroup page [TBD].
A room with possibility to form groups, walk around, and hang the print outs on to the wall.
Give a (short) presentation on the Agile Manifesto and its principles.
Depending on the agile experience of your audience this can be shorter or longer. Check my previous two posts for to get additional information or inspiration.
Group members discuss what the principles mean to them and how they map to the Agile Manifesto.
Depending on the time you have and on the familiarity of your audience with the Agile Manifesto you can spent longer or shorter amounts of time on this. In larger groups this tends to take a lot of time and is probably best added into the step 1 presentation or left out all together.
Present the practices and handout a hardcopy version of them to all participants.
Depending on the experience of your audience (and the time you have) you can provide information about all of the practices (takes a lot of time), or let the audience indicate which ones need to be elaborated or skip explanation al together.
Have the group go up to all of the principles and have them discuss and map the practices that they think fitting to the principle. Mapping should be visualised by writing the practice on to a post-it and sticking it to the top of the sheet if it is a good fit, to the bottom of the sheet if it only fits partially.
The group should form a consensus on the which practices fit and to what extend. The aim here is to learn by actively linking practices to agile principles by discussion and argumentation. When necessary the facilitator should provide additional information and elaboration about the practices.
Divide the audience into smaller groups of no more than 6-8 people. Then execute step 3 by letting them go by all principles from a different starting point.
To aid the visual result you can hang multiple versions of each principle (as many as you create groups) next to each other and differentiate the groups choices in this way.
Have each group pick one or two of the principles and let them explain why they chose those practices and why they placed them higher of lower on the sheet. The other groups should be able to ask questions.
This step is more about sharing information and reasoning then that it is about argumentation and justification. A single group will have done this automatically during the exercise.
Have all members evaluate what they have learned and taken away from this exercise. One of the take aways should be to pick one or more practices that they are going to actively work on during the next period. Then execute a (quick) retrospective on the execution of the exercise.
Depending on the group size and time you have left this can be down by letting each member express this to the group or to let them do this individually later.
A practice is something that has proven to be valuable in a certain context and offer insight into solutions that may or may not work in your situation.
You can do this with the list below for a start. But preferably create you own shorter, longer or more suitable list. Basically you can do this with any kind of practices not just test related practices.

Q: A number theoretic unlikely intersection phenomenon Let $h_1, \cdots, h_k$ be co-prime integers, $k \geq 3$. Let $n$ be a square-free positive integer, understood to be extremely large compared to the $h_i$'s, and such that $\omega(n)$, the number of prime divisors of $n$, is much larger than $k$.
Let $T_k(n)$ be the set of pairs of integers $(u,v)$ such that $\max\{|u|, |v|\} \leq n^{1/k}$ and $\gcd(u,n) = \gcd(v,n) = 1$. For each $(u,v) \in T_k(n)$ let $x(u,v)$ be the unique integer in $[1,n)$ such that $x(u,v) \equiv uv^{-1} \pmod{n}$.
How many pairs $(u,v) \in T_k(n)$ are there with the property that there exists a tuple $(n_1, \cdots, n_k) \in \mathbb{N}^k$ such that $n = n_1 \cdots n_k$ for which $x(u,v) \equiv h_j \pmod{n_j}$ for $1 \leq j \leq k$?
I suspect that there should be a uniform bound to the above question, namely a bound which is independent of $n$ and the $h_j$'s (but possibly dependent on $k$).
To justify the title of the question, one can think of this as two conditions both giving rare lattices colliding. There are exactly $k^{\omega(n)}$ tuples $(n_1, \cdots, n_k)$ such that $n = n_1 \cdots n_k$, and for each such tuple one can produce an integer $s$ with the property that $s \equiv h_j \pmod{n_j}$ for $1 \leq j \leq k$. Each such $s$ gives rise to a lattice of determinant $n$, via $\Lambda(s) = \{(x,y) \in \mathbb{Z}^2 : x \equiv sy \pmod{n}\}$. Now for each $(u,v) \in T_k(n)$ we see that $x(u,v)$ defines a lattice $\Lambda_{x(u,v)} = \{(a,b) \in \mathbb{Z}^2 : a \equiv x(u,v) b \pmod{n}\}$, and there are $O(n^{2/k})$ such lattices. Both types of lattices are rare, since there are $\gg n$ distinct lattices of determinant $n$. It stands to reason that lattices satisfying both conditions should be exceptionally rare.

Cavalry General. Pavel Adamovich Pleve
"Undoubtedly, Plehve is considered the best of all army commanders."
M.K. Lemke, Military Censor Headquarters Supreme Commander in 1915-1916
Pavel Adamovich was born 30 May 1850, in the Petersburg province in a noble family. Unfortunately, very little is known about his childhood and youth. Studied Pleve at the Warsaw Classical Gymnasium, and at 1868 was assigned to the privileged Nicholas Cavalry School. He graduated from it two years later, and not just graduated, but according to the first category with entry to the honorary marble board of the institution. The young man who promoted great hopes was fired into cornets and sent to the Life Guards Ulansky regiment. In 1874, Mr. Pavel Adamovich was promoted to lieutenant, and at the same time he decided to enter the Nikolaev Academy of the General Staff. Three years later he graduated from it and again on the first category. Given the difficulty of these results, it was already then possible to conclude about the exceptional talents of the young officer.
Plehve received a baptism of fire in the Russian-Turkish war 1877-1878. He fought as chief officer at the headquarters of the army corps. The young man took part in the battle at the height of Sahar-Tepe, in the battle of the Bulgarian village of Ayaslar, as well as in the general offensive of the Northern detachment and the pursuit of the enemy to Shumla. For distinctions during the war years, Pavel Adamovich was awarded St. Anna of the third degree. When the war ended, Plehve remained to serve in Bulgaria as a staff officer for missions. In November, 1879 was honored with the Order of St. Stanislav of the second degree for "excellent courage and bravery rendered in multi-temporal affairs." In the same year, twenty-nine Pavel Adamovich became a lieutenant colonel. From 1880 to 1889, this talented officer served in various staff and command positions. Among other things, he worked in the examination commission of the Officer Cavalry School, heading the officers studying at the Nikolaev Academy of the General Staff, and temporarily commanded the Cuirassier Regiment. In 1882, he was promoted to colonel.
In 1889, Plehve presented his first military-scientific work to the public - his "Essays from stories cavalry ". The work intended for the cadets of the Nikolaev Cavalry School, considered the development of cavalry from ancient times and was a very good study on this topic. It should be noted that the active by nature Pavel Adamovich was always attracted by the operational mobility of cavalry - the only mobile branch of the military at that time. He, for example, owns the following lines: "The cavalry should not be worried by the rapid improvements in weapons - it must resist the power of fire by the development of maneuverability and speed of action, and in particular by raising the spirits until the readiness of the minute to decide on desperate enterprises ... ".
At the end of 1890, Pavel Adamovich already commanded the 12th Mariupol Dragoon Regiment, and from the beginning of 1893 he held the position of quartermaster-general of the headquarters of the Vilno military district. This appointment allowed him to familiarize himself with the future theater of military operations in detail - he regularly visited Riga, Suwalki, Grodno, Osovetsk and Kovno fortresses with inspection trips. Years of impeccable service did not go unnoticed - in January 1901 Plehve became lieutenant-general and chief of staff of the Don Cossacks. He stayed at this place until March 1905, and then, due to unrest in the Kingdom of Poland, he was appointed to the post of commandant of the Warsaw Fortress. It should be noted that the general didn't like this turn of events, and he did his best to get back into service. At last he was transferred to the post of commander of the thirteenth army corps in July of the same year. Unfortunately, Plehve never had a chance to make war with the Japanese during the 1904-1905 war, although he was considered to be its participant. By that time, in addition to the above awards, he had the Order of St. Anne, St. Stanislav and St. Vladimir of various degrees, the French Order of the Legion of Honor, the Romanian Order of the Crown, and many medals. He was characterized in the top leadership always positively, or, as they said, "immaculately."
Career Pavel Adamovich continued to go uphill - in 1906 he became the assistant commander of the forces already familiar to him Vilna military district, and a year later he was promoted to generals from cavalry. Since spring, 1909 Plehve occupied the most responsible post of commander of the Moscow Military District. In 1912, Yevgeny Miller was appointed chief district officer - the same as Plehve, military man to the bone. Since then, these two generals have been a constant and productive duet, excellently working together with each other. Pavel Adamovich at the post of district commander was engaged in charitable and social activities, was a member of the Imperial aeronautics society and an assistant trustee of the hospital of military doctors. In addition, according to the memoirs, Plehve was an exemplary family man — he had three children (two daughters, Olga and Catherine, and a son, Nikolai).
The outbreak of the First World War was a new type of war, which immediately put extremely strict demands on the command staff of the Russian army. By the beginning of the hostilities behind Pavel Adamovich (a man of quite a solid age), there was a five-year experience in leading troops of the district entrusted to him - the time during which Plehve managed to prepare his units and units for the upcoming battles. During the mobilization announced in July, a fifth army was formed under the command of Pavel Adamovich on the basis of the Moscow Military District. She was to join the South-Western Front, located in the area of Brest-Litovsk - Kholm - Kovel. The means and forces entrusted to the general included 1914 battalions, 176 hundreds and squadrons, nearly four dozen engineering companies, about 158 machine guns and 380 guns, as well as six aircraft. In total, the Fifth Army initially numbered 670 thousand people. With regard to the supply of food and ammunition, the forces of Plehwe were in a worse position compared to other parts of the South-Western Front. The main "opponent" of the forces of the commander in this direction was the fourth army of Austro-Hungarians, led by infantry general Moritz Auffenberg, to whom in the first half of August came parts of Archduke Joseph-Ferdinand. The enemy group, which opposed Plehve, numbered over two hundred thousand soldiers, that is, it was significantly superior to the fifth army in manpower, and besides it had a significant advantage in artillery.
In connection with the defeat of the neighboring fourth army under Krasnik, Pavel Adamovich received an order from the commander of the forces of the South-Western Front "... to render help to the left flank of the fourth army to deploy his forces to the west (the former course was to the south)". This maneuver put the Fifth Army in an extremely unfavorable position - Plehve had to split his corps into two parts, which approached the battlefield separately from each other, stretching for a hundred hundred kilometers. In mid-August, the right wing of the Fifth Russian Army met the advancing Austrians. The battle that was fought subsequently received the name Tomashevskaya. The outset of the battle took place (not the fault of the commander) in very adverse conditions. The front of the fifth army was about 120 kilometers (while, for example, for the eighth army - 70 kilometers). The enemy command put its first and fourth armies in a favorable initial position, analyzing in detail the theater of operations and using local topographical and geographical features. Moreover, the enemy in advance created the appropriate grouping and led his corps intently, and the fifth army of Plehve moved on a stretched front and was forced to maneuver in direct contact with the Austrians. As a result, the Russian units entered the battle separately and were attacked from the flanks. Despite this, Pavel Adamovich reported to Commander-in-Chief Nikolai Ivanov: "We will fight to the last extreme."
In the practical hopeless situation of the battle, in conditions of superiority of the enemy in quantitative and positional terms, leading the battle in a semi-circle, Plehve's troops managed to inflict significant damage to the enemy and, dexterously maneuvering, jump out from under the blow. In the course of the encirclement of the fifth army that had begun, the commander, who did not remove his hand from the "pulse" of the battle, found a remarkable use for his cavalry. Having formed a consolidated cavalry corps (by the way, one of the first in the Russian army), he struck them in the rear of the Austrians. The Don Cossack division, Plehwe, was used by the general to ensure the withdrawal of his forces after the Tomaszewski battle. In addition, the Fifth Army's equestrian reconnaissance promptly detected changes in the concentration of Austrian troops, and Pavel Adamovich made all the most important decisions, building on this data. One military historian described Plehwe's cavalry as follows: "In difficult moments of fighting, cavalry divisions quickly concentrated in the breakthrough between the corps or on the flanks of the corps and the battles provided the flanks of the troops, fully contributing to the latter." Loss of the army of Plehve in the Tomashevsk battle amounted to less than thirty thousand people, and the "victorious" Austrian troops - forty thousand. The operation on the environment, conceived by the enemy command, turned into a trivial repulsion, and the results did not justify the losses incurred. The famous military historian, Lieutenant-General Nikolai Golovin called the march-maneuver of the Fifth Army after the Tomaszewski battle one of the most skillful in the history of the World War: "This withdrawal was not a retreat at all - it was detachment from the enemy, returning the freedom of maneuver of the army, which retained full combat capability" .
In the second stage of the Battle of Galicia, the Fifth Army divided into two parts performed different tasks - Lieutenant-General Yanuariy Tsikhovich, who participated in the Battle of Galicia, wrote that "the fifth army helped the fourth and ninth and half of the third and eighth armies with one half of its forces, applying a deep movement maneuver with their parts in eccentric directions. " A few days later, the fifth army, uniting its groups, continued the offensive and, after fierce bloody battles with the rearguards of the enemy 8, September reached the San River and occupied Yaroslav, marking the end of its participation in the battle. The outcome of the Galician operation, which ended by mid-September, was the defeat of the first Austro-Hungarian army and the forces of the Archduke Ferdinand, as well as the retreat of the second, third and fourth Austro-Hungarian armies. The total losses of the Russians were 190 thousands of dead and wounded, 40 thousands were captured, about a hundred guns were lost. The Austrians lost 300 thousands of soldiers and officers, about 100 thousands were taken prisoner, four hundred guns were lost by them. In this victory, Pavel Adamovich's considerable merit was - his maneuver by two groups to the rear of the Austrians, who became a classic of Russian military-historical science, severed the cohesion of the enemy formation and destroyed the plans of the enemy. For successful actions of the troops entrusted to him in the middle of September, 1914 Plehve was awarded the highest military award of Russia - the Order of Saint George of the fourth degree.
It should be noted that Pavel Adamovich assigned a huge role during this battle (as well as all subsequent ones) to having connections with his commanders. To his chagrin, the connection was often interrupted, and important reports were late. As a result, Plehve decided to send proxies to the most responsible sites. Their task was, without preventing the commanders from controlling units, to inform Pavel Adamovich about all the details of his interest.
It is important to note that Plehve was one of the few commanders who thought about the success of a common front-line operation, and not about personal laurels. Neighbors, by the way, did not always pay him the same coin. For example, commander Evert refused to help the fifth army of August 13. Similarly, Ruzsky, the commander of the army, behaved himself for a long time, ignoring the orders of the front command to assist the left flank of the Fifth Army. In the latter case, only the resistance of the Plehve buildings prevented the rout.
After the Battle of Galicia, the Austro-Hungarian troops began a hasty retreat along the whole front. The threat of Russian seizure of Upper Silesia, Krakow and Western Galicia caused the German forces to castling to support an ally. In this regard, the struggle for ferries and bridgeheads has become paramount for both sides. One of them - the Kozenitsky bridgehead - remained forever in the history of the war as an example of the courage of the Russian soldiers of the fourth and fifth armies. Despite the desperate attempts of the enemy to overturn the Russian troops in the Vistula, Plehve kept a bridgehead behind him, and also threw two army corps to the left bank, which bound the enemy forces and prepared a base for the offensive.
The next stage in Pleve's brilliant career was the Lodz operation — one of the most difficult in that war against military art. Not being frightened by the threat of encircling his forces, Pavel Adamovich promptly responded with the threat of encircling the enemy's left flank. The German Gen. Max Hoffman described the situation as follows: "There was a sudden disconnection between the troops that had penetrated the rear of the enemy and the left wing of parts of the artillery general Scholz. In the resulting gap, Russian forces have moved ... ". This maneuver broke the whole course of the battle. Military historians have noted: "The Fifth Army, like an iron wedge, crashed between the enemy's flanks, preventing them from closing ... The resilience of the Russians and the energy that commanded the army, Plehve, took the catastrophe, but the Germans turned out to be bypassed." Pavel Adamovich's courage was highly appreciated not only by Russian commanders, the major general of the British army, who was under the Russian command, wrote: surrender! In the course of a couple of seconds, Plehve silently studied the young officer from under his thick eyebrows, and then said: "My dear, did you arrive at a tragedy to play or with a report? If you have a report, report it to the chief of staff. And there is no need to play tragedies here, otherwise I will send you under arrest. "
By November 9, the shock group of Schaeffer-Boyadel, which had previously taken the second army of Russians into the semi-rings, was surrounded by the forces of Plehve. In the German documents there is the following entry: "... In the circumstances, do not hope to release the cut off forces of General Schaeffer." However, the "help" to the remnants of the four enemy divisions suddenly came from the command of the North-Western Front - the front commander Nikolai Ruzsky, who did not understand the situation, ordered the first, second and fifth armies to begin withdrawal. Despite the protests of Pavel Adamovich, this order was carried out. Subsequently, the Stavka recognized the fallacy of such an order, but the time was gone, the blocking troops were not strengthened, and on November 11 in a night battle, the Scheffer-Boyadel group, breaking through the positions of the Russians, united with the main forces. The belated pursuit of the retreating German armies was also not organized, despite the Plehwe telegrams to the front commander, in which he pointed out that "the enemy forces were exhausted with transitions, hunger strikes and frost strikes ..."
And nevertheless, the Lodz operation ended with the victory of the Russians - all the Germans' attempts to repeat Samsonovsky Tannenberg failed, and Pavel Adamovich again confirmed the reputation of the commander fighting with skill rather than number - his forces at the beginning of the operation were in the front line the smallest that did not prevent them from playing a key role in the battle. Erich Ludendorff, Chief of Staff of the German Eastern Front, wrote: "The important operational goal of destroying Russians in the bend of the Vistula River was not fulfilled ... Instead of encircling the enemy troops near Lodz, we had to save our own corps." In a tactical sense, Plehve himself again proved to be a supporter of active actions, including on the flanks. Here is one of his appeals to the troops: "To beat the enemy, to pursue him in the most merciless and persistent way, not to release him, but to destroy or take, in general, to show extreme energy." Parts of the general successfully retorted all German attacks, forcing the enemy to go on the defensive and retreat. It was after the Battle of Lodz that Pavel Adamovich earned in the army the fame of a crisis specialist, a master of flank strike and maneuver, the "wand" of the Russian Front, which was recalled in the most difficult operational situation.
Plehve acted most effectively in the battles of 1915 of the year, particularly in the Winter Prasnyshsky. This defensive-offensive operation of the first and twelfth (under the command of Plehve) armies of the North-Western Front unfolded in the area of the Polish town of the same name. At the beginning of the operation, the enemy had superiority in the infantry, the Russian armies, in addition to incomplete personnel, possessed small artillery, experienced "shell hunger", and, nevertheless, won a convincing victory. The significance of this success was extremely important - the consequences of the ill-fated August Battle in East Prussia were largely eliminated. All the successes of the Germans, earned in the August operation of the tenth army, were lost in the course of their defeat of the twelfth army of Paul Adamovich. The French subsequently called the Polish city of Prasnysh "Russian Marna" for a reason. Plehve himself once again confirmed the reputation of a decisive commander. In the tactical aspect, the general sought to organize flank attacks and capture enemy communications. The success of the Russians in this operation together with other factors upset the German plans for the spring campaign of the 1915 of the year. The command of the Germans in the person of Ludendorff, emphasizing the "significant losses" and "energetic counterattacks of the Russians", summed up: "Our troops got a good lesson." The victory of Pavel Adamovich gave the Russian army a significant tactical gain, allowing, in general, in the unfortunate 1915 year for Russia in the north-western direction, to maintain a strong and stable position.
In April, the 1915 Germans launched a powerful offensive in the Baltic States. By 25, the enemy took possession of South Kurland, thereby creating a threat to the Russian Navy in the Baltic. Also in danger turned Riga direction. In order to stabilize the situation in the Baltics, the management of the Twelfth Army (soon renamed the Fifth Army), led by Plehve, was transferred. His forces suspended the advance of the Germans, which in the current conditions was already a considerable matter. It should be noted that a significant imprint on the military force of the forces of Pavel Adamovich was imposed by the fact that many units were not armed, and the reinforcements had not yet completed training. Every fourth battalion of the regiment did not have rifles - thus, the nominal numerical superiority of the forces of Plehve in the infantry turned into the actual superiority of the Germans. The terrible Russian cavalry under the conditions of the north-west proved to be ineffective, on the side of the enemy also had almost double superiority in the number of guns and the absence of problems in the supply of ammunition. To all of the above, add a significant length of the front - about 250 kilometers.
Due to the lack of funds and forces, Plehve abandoned the offensive action plan and limited himself to active defense. In the course of the Mitavo-Shavel operation that began shortly after the Germans, all the actions of the commander were distinguished by timely orderliness and calmness with a correct understanding of the situation. With regard to this operation, military historians noted: "Pavel Adamovich very sensibly assessed the situation and divined all German maneuvers in terms of double coverage. A timely order to withdraw allowed the troops to be removed from the blow ... " The forces of Plehve, retreating from one line to another, carried out short, but very energetic counterattacks in certain sectors, designed not so much to counteract the enemy as to break his will. By the end of July, the Germans occupied Mitawa, occupying almost all of Courland. The forces of Plehve, hiding behind cavalry, retreated to Jacobstadt, Dvinsk and Riga, as well as to the Western Dvina. The territorial successes of the enemy did not hide his main loss - all attempts to circumvent and destroy the army that he hated Plehve did not succeed.
In late August, the German troops again launched an offensive. This time the main blow was struck at the junction between the tenth army of the Western front and the fifth army of Plehve of the northern front. It was only with vigorous actions that the breakthrough was managed to be localized, in which Pavel Adamovich's efforts to close the left flank of his army with the right flank of the tenth played a huge role. However, the offensive continued, and in the situation of the enemy entering the communications of the Fifth Army, the commander took her left wing to the Northern Dvina. It was Dvinsk that later became the key center of Russian defense on the northern flank of the front.
The artillery of the enemy continuously worked through the city and its outskirts; it was bombarded from airplanes. All institutions and enterprises were evacuated, Dvinsk left the majority of residents. The fate of the settlement was also predetermined by the authorities - evidence of this is the construction of a bypass railway line. Those who were close to Plehve, remembered his phrase: "While I am in the city, not one step back." Gradually, a deep-echeloned defense was organized near Dvinsk - one of the most powerful on the whole front. The city remained in the hands of Pavel Adamovich, and all the attacks of the enemy were repelled with great losses for him. And in October, the Russians launched a counter-offensive. In general, the Dvina front in the configuration created by Plehve lasted for two and a half years (before the start of 1918).
People who knew Pavel Adamovich closely characterized him as a real soldier and an outstanding commander. Although human qualities are not important for a military leader, it is worth noting that Plehve was unusually modest - he was embarrassed by public speeches, did not like being photographed, and avoided external effect and brilliance. Among his subordinates he had the reputation of being a pedant, a man too immersed in details and details. A curious fact - with the exception of the closest employees - precisely because of his love for accuracy and accuracy, Pavel Adamovich was not popular among the officers. By the way, he himself was not looking for popularity. The Minister of War and the General of Infantry, Alexei Polivanov, wrote: "... Who perfectly knows the situation is Pavel Adamovich, but now it's hard to serve with him."
The peculiarity of the work of Pavel Adamovich was that he preferred to hold in his hands all the strings of tactical control of troops, limiting the operational freedom of his commanders and personally delving into all the problems of tactical leadership. This, on the one hand, stemmed from distrust of a number of superiors (often, it is worth noting, very reasonable), and on the other, from the desire not to let the control of the situation take place for a moment. It is also important to note here the speed with which Pavel Adamovich evaluated the situation and made decisions. For example, on the first day of the Battle of Shavli, in order to make out all reports, to come to the correct conclusion about the direction of the main attack of the enemy and take appropriate measures, it took no more than three hours.
Not only the victories of Russian weapons, but also a number of innovations in the field of military art were associated with the name of Plehve. In particular, he used the cavalry incredibly effectively, finding it, in contrast to most military leaders (and not only the Russian army), to use it in new conditions. For example, in the course of the Mitavo-Shavel operation, he organized a successful raid to the rear of the enemy, the results of which the German command reported: "The telephone network was destroyed in depth and over a large distance along the front, and the supply of food to the second and sixth cavalry divisions turned out to be interrupted for a day. " Along with energetic actions and wide maneuvers, the commander tried (as far as possible) to keep his troops and not put them on the brink of destruction. All this was combined with his incredible stubbornness in the right cases, for example during the Tomashevsky battle or in the defense of Dvinsk.
Having served in the ranks for a long time, knowing perfectly well the soldiers' mass, Plehve did his best to raise morale among the troops. To this end, he spoke to his soldiers, used military music. There is evidence of a parade held in Dvinsk, which was received by the general himself. Being a supporter of modern war, he welcomed Plehve and technical innovations. At the end of the Prasnysh operation, an antiaircraft battery, headed by Captain Tarnovsky, was transferred to the headquarters of the Twelfth Army. Pavel Adamovich, together with the chief of staff, visited the battery, familiarizing himself with both the new anti-aircraft tool and the methods of shooting. He highly appreciated the success of the first Russian anti-aircraft gunners, awarding them all orders. In the course of the organization of the air defense of the city of Dvinsk, Plehve again drew on a well-proven battery. Also, the general was the ancestor of the assault units of the national army. His order for the Fifth Army in October 1915 stated: "I order in each company to form special bomber detachments ... People in them choose energetic and courageous, each armed with ten grenades, hung from a belt conveniently, and an arbitrary pattern with axes. In addition, each provide a shovel and hand scissors to overcome the wire. " The general established the procedure for training new divisions, having seconded sappers as instructors. Already at the end of the year, this experience spread to the entire Russian army, and similar assault platoons appeared in all infantry regiments, which were called "bombing" or "Grenadier". There is information about the use of the commander of the armor. For example, in the course of the Lodz operation, five regiments of the enemy's infantry were scattered by five armored vehicles that broke into the coverage of the left flank of the enemy corps.
In early December, 1915, sixty-five-year-old Pavel Adamovich, was appointed commander-in-chief of all the armies of the Northern Front. In the new position, Plehve began to prepare troops for the upcoming 1916 campaign of the year, and also began to restore order in the frontline rear. This event, by the way, given the proximity of the front to the capital, was a matter of great relevance. Already 8 numbers Pavel Adamovich sent a note to the chief of staff, indicating that the "dual role of enterprises founded in Russia by the Germans under the guise of joint-stock companies". In the same message, the general drew the attention of his superiors to the fight against economic sabotage and espionage, which was a completely new phenomenon for the Russian counterintelligence. Among other cases of Plehve, it is worth noting that he, seeing the situation that had arisen in the staffing of front-line officers, decided to send "recovering officers to the headquarters for the replacement of healthy ones, whose place is in the ranks". In the same period of time, largely thanks to Pavel Adamovich, guerrilla groups began to organize on the Northern Front, including both regular units and volunteers from among the local residents who had the main task of sabotage and search operations in the near rear of the enemy.
At the responsible post of commander of the armies of the Northern Front, Plehve, unfortunately, worked for a short time - health problems increased. At the very end of January, 1916 arrived on the Northern Front with an inspection visit by the Supreme Commander himself, Tsar Nikolay. The emperor was met by two legendary front-line generals — the commander of the front, Plehwe, and the commander of the fifth army, Gurko. After accepting the report, accompanied by the generals, the Supreme Commander conducted a review of the front cavalry forces. The head of the emperor's guard, Major General Alexander Spiridovich, recalled: "The night before the Emperor's arrival, Pavel Adamovich had a hemorrhage, and in the morning, like a pale canvas, he could hardly stand upright ... He was twisted, small, extremely painful, he had an iron will, unusual energy and hardness. Everywhere, where in the years of the Great War the general was not, he covered himself with deserved glory. " Shortly after the review, Nicholas II wrote to the Empress: "My God, what poor Plehwe looks like! As a corpse is green, more than ever crooked and blind, it barely moves its legs ... He thinks quite normally and sensibly, his thoughts are clear and his head is fresh - and when he sits, everything is nothing, but when he gets up, he shows up sad spectacle.
For health reasons, in early February, Pavel Adamovich was released from command. He was appointed a member of the State Council, and Plehve left the army. The general arrived in Moscow and settled in an old apartment at the headquarters of the Moscow Military District. He died at the University Hospital of Nervous Diseases 28 March 1916 from hemorrhage in the brain. On the eve of his death, Pavel Plehve accepted Orthodoxy.

A. Knox, Major General of the British Army: "Plehve belonged ... to the Moltke school and possessed a logical mind and an iron will." The Brit is mistaken, Plehve belonged to our, Suvorov school ...

Glory to the Russian commanders!
yuriy55 7 November 2015 03: 59
The author is an undoubted plus for the noble idea of "pulling out" historical facts about Russian commanders for public viewing. To our deep regret, we know about those times, as about the lost war with Japan in 1904-1905 and participation in the WWII 1914-1918 due to the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand on June 28, 1914. And the names of the military commanders are associated with the number of killed Red Army soldiers.
Undoubtedly, the great Russian commanders are students of the Suvorov school, who have mastered the science of winning for five.

Yes, unfortunately, we know very little about the First World War.

The Prudential Eye Awards, which showcases the work of emerging contemporary artists in Asia, is back for its third year. The exhibition at the ArtScience Museum includes 39 works from 15 shortlisted artists in a range of media, from videos to installations, all imbued with varied perspectives and ruminations on everyday life and socio-political issues in the region.
This photo from the Singapore 1925-2025 series is prompted by the artist's interest in the initial stages of land reclamation, during which surreal landscapes emerge. While Singapore has been reclaiming land for decades now, people here seem to have no memories or connection to this transitional state, he notes.
This piece by the Indonesian husband-and-wife artist collective looks at the communal ritual of eating and how it has evolved, with diners more involved in their own "small screens" than in conversations over food.
The artist from Bangladesh was drawn to the catastrophe of battered big ships, his work capturing the melancholy of these vessels rusting and falling apart. "Ships became a metaphor of the idea of my own life going through time, which will eventually be dismantled with death," he says.
The Chiang Mai-based visual artist's piece examines large-scale electricity production and its environmental impact at two fragile sites in Thailand, located in an area of active seismic faults. Construction, she says, can lead to man-made earthquakes. Her video impresses on viewers the need to consider less hazardous construction practices and more efficient ways of producing energy.
The Taiwanese-born artist explores the culture of production and consumption in an installation using multiple forms, such as words and images, as well as an outfit he designed with his mother to question the role individuals play in the larger machinery of trade.
The Cambodian-born artist's work is triggered by his past, living through war and as a refugee, and represents a shelter that shares the likeness of his family home, where he lived from 1979 to 1992." It becomes a refuge for the audience, even if for a moment," he says.
In his Artificial Theater series, Zhang re-envisions the faces of famous people using composites of his portraits of regular folk to "probe into the significance of truth and invention, reality and fiction".
The artist creates his characters with bold strokes, lines and dots that capture the physicality of the human body, along with a certain primal instinct.


weird maybe you don't have that function available???
, What version is the rom on the sim you are using?
I'm not aware of using any Lua ROM. I'm just selecting your .lua file.
On ZEN simulator, that fixes it. First run fades to zero. Second fades to set volume.
I did once hear the fade down start with a jump for the set volume of about -20 to a louder volume, before starting the the fade.
Here's the export from the ZEN device (custom build from pamaury, 3cda546d5-170111) on which this .lua doesn't gives an error, showing the function present: http://i.imgur.com/5r4wqxl.png.
I'd guess this function is a recent addition.

I've lived with chronic illness for over half of my life, and there's a gnawing feeling that there is always something wrong, that this pain is a new normal and that you believe what the doctors feed you—medicated forever, suppressing your immune system, putting healthy parts of your body at risk for the sake of making another part better. That new normal—drugged up, more exhausted, needing more meds, needing more rest, body shutting down is what we believe is the only way, because that's what we've been told. We tend to believe what we've been told as a collective.
There was a part of me that had a feeling that way was wrong, but how do you vocalize that to a doctor, the person in charge, the person who is supposed to care for you?
And, parts of me vocalized it and refused meds, but I got that, "You're crazy" stare and / or scolding. I got the fear mongering that is so rampant in our culture. Just about everything we see constantly is wrapped in the guise of fear. We fight war by fighting. We fight cancer by fighting. We fight poverty by fighting. You get the idea.
The way doctors treat chronic illness is not effective in the long term. I actually felt worse when I was on methotrexate and Humira. I had to get injections of steroids in my knees every time I took the Humira. Why? Low energy—meds that kept me tired and in a cycle of need. But, it wasn't the meds. It was me. I never felt good about taking them, and when you don't feel good about something, it won't work as well. I had total resistance to taking meds. And, in total resistance, nothing works as it should.
I discovered the power of this body and the power of knowing that when I'm stressed and holding onto that stress, I am creating more fuel for illness to perpetuate. It's extreme and chronic misalignment that causes these physical symptoms. These physical symptoms are not separate from any part of your entire being. If you don't face the feelings you're having and if you don't accept them and let them go, those feelings build up and voila! Illness. I am not minimizing anything that anyone is going through or has experienced. It's all very real, but the power to heal is within us, not on the outside. There are people who've cured themselves of seemingly death sentence diseases without medication. We each have the power to do recover and heal completely.
I know, finally, when I need to take it easy, when I need to speak up, when I need to meditate until I let it go (which, by the way, is all the time). Actually, I don't always know, but I'm getting better at knowing and this has been the biggest improvement of this body, and it feels good and empowering to know I can heal my body. I am not cured by any means, but I take less ibuprofen than I ever have, and I feel really good 90% of the time.

Harris County Attorney Christian D. Menefee discusses policy to remove barriers for job candidates with criminal histories
Published: January 4, 2022, 8:54 AM Updated: January 4, 2022, 11:52 AM
Harris County Attorney Christian D. Menefee hosted a news conference Tuesday morning announcing the upcoming Harris County Fair Chance Policy.
HOUSTON – Harris County Attorney Christian D. Menefee hosted a news conference Tuesday morning announcing the upcoming Harris County Fair Chance Policy.
The policy aims to remove barriers for job candidates with criminal histories when applying for positions with Harris County.
Under this policy, federal employers and private employers that contract with the government would be prevented from inquiring about a candidate's conviction history for most positions in the county.
Watch the full press conference below:
If a conditional offer of employment is extended to the applicant, a department can screen the applicant's criminal history.
"When you do the check earlier in the process and there hasn't been a meaningful opportunity to engage the applicant, employers are more likely to screen that potential employee out of the process," Menefee said.
According to Judge Lina Hidalgo, 70 million people in the United States have arrest or conviction records. Furthermore, over one million people in Harris County have an arrest or conviction record, Hidalgo said.
"Those positions should be open to residents from all walks of life," Hidalgo said.
Hidalgo said the policy would also help the economy, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic as several people are struggling to find work.

Top 10 players with most singles titles: Where do Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal rank?
As Roger Federer goes in search of his 100th ATP Tour singles title during the Dubai Duty Free Championships this week, we take a quick look at the top 10 all-time record in the Open Era.
*Correct as of February 27, 2019.
10. Guillermo Vilas (Argentina) – 62 singles titles
The Argentine giant dominated tennis in the 70s and it is no surprise that his first-ever singles title came at home when he won the South American Open in Buenos Aires in February 1973.
He won four Grand Slams in the late 70s and by the time he hung up his racket in 1992 he had 62 titles to his name with 48 of them coming on clay.
= 8. Pete Sampras (United States) – 64 singles titles
Pistol Pete started wowing fans in 1988 at the age of 16, but it took him until 1990 to win his first title as he beat Andres Gomez in three sets in the US Pro Indoor final.
Later that year he would win his first Grand Slam when he lifted the US Open and he ultimately ended up with 14 majors, which was the all-time Open Era record until Roger Federer broke it in 2009.
Besides the 14 Grand Slams, his haul of 64 also included five end-of-year trophies, two Grand Slam Cups and 11 Masters titles.
= 8. Bjorn Borg (Sweden) – 64 singles titles
Tied with Sampras for eighth, the Swede won his 64 singles titles between 1974 and 1981 with the first coming in Auckland, New Zealand, and the last one in Geneva, Switzerland.
The Ice Man led the way in terms of Roland Garros trophies with six until a certain Rafael Nadal came along while he also won five Wimbledon titles. He also won 15 Grand Prix Super Series (high category) titles.
7. Novak Djokovic (Serbia) – 73 singles titles
One of three active players in the top 10, Djokovic is quickly closing in on those ahead of him and at the rate he is going, you wouldn't be surprised if he ends up in first place or second place by the time he calls it a day.
The 15-time Grand Slam winner won the first-ever singles trophy at the Dutch Open in 2006 and nearly 13 years later he has 73 to his name and counting with 32 of those coming at ATP Masters 1000 events.
6. Rod Laver (Australia) – 74 singles titles
You suspect Laver won't be staying in sixth place for too much longer with Djokovic only one title behind him, but for a man who finished his playing career in 1976, it's impressive that he is still ranked so highly.
The first of his titles during the Open Era came at the National Tennis League Professional Championships in London in April 1968 and he picked up his final trophy in Detroit in January 1976.
His Open Era haul also includes only five of his 11 Grand Slam titles.
In total, Laver won 200 singles titles (54 during his amateur career, 72 during the professional era and 74 in the Open Era).
5. John McEnroe (United States) – 77 singles titles
The man with the most combined (singles and doubles) titles in the history of the sport with 156, but we are only looking at singles.
The left-hander turned pro in 1978 and by the end of the season he already had five titles to his name. In 1979 in he won his first two Grand Slams (Wimbledon and the US Open).
By the time he called it a day 1994, he had 77 singles title – including seven Grand Slams and 19 super high category Grand Prix Championship Series titles – to his name.
4. Rafael Nadal (Spain) – 80 singles titles
One of the current Big Three on the ATP Tour, Nadal won his first singles title at the age of 18 back in August 2004 when he lifted the Orange Prokom Open trophy in Poland. The following year he won the French Open and nearly 15 years later he is still going strong.
His 80 titles include 17 Grand Slams, 33 ATP Masters 1000 trophies and an Olympic gold medal. Surprisingly, though, Nadal hasn't won the ATP World Tour Finals.
Of course the 11 Roland Garros, 11 Monte Carlo Masters and 11 Barcelona Open trophies were a big help.
3. Ivan Lendl (Czechoslovakia/United States) – 94 singles titles
The eight-time Grand Slam winner has a nice buffer between himself and Nadal. He won his first title in 1980, two years after turning pro, and when he retired in 1984 he was just six shy of the magical 100.
Outside of the majors, he also won seven year-end trophies and 22 Grand Prix Super Series ATP Championship Series single week titles.
2. Roger Federer (Switzerland) – 99 singles titles
The 20-time Grand Slam winner has been stuck on 99 trophies for more than a year now and all eyes are on him in Dubai to see if he can get to three figures.
He won his first ATP Tour singles title in 2001 at the Milan Indoor and added another 98 during the next 18 years.
His collection includes six year-end finals trophies and 27 ATP Masters 1000 titles. Nine Halle Open and Swiss Indoor titles, eight Wimbledon trophies and seven Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships contributed big time.
1. Jimmy Connors (United States) – 109 singles titles
It is difficult to see anyone surpassing Connors, who competed on the Tour from 1972 until 1996, especially with Federer closing in on retirement.
The eight-time Grand Slam winner, who spent a total 268 weeks at the top of the world rankings, won his maiden singles title in Jacksonville in 1972.
During his two decades on the tour, he also won three year-end titles and 17 super high category Championship Series trophies, but only nine of his 109 titles came on grass.

This is a yoke-shaped dilly bag from Boulia in south-western Queensland. It is made from woollen blanket thread and banded in green, orange and yellow with a navy and white polka-dotted cloth handle knotted onto the bag at diagonally opposite ends of the top opening. It is covered with the remnants of a red-brown ochre coating. It was collected in 1905 and feathers, plant matter and human hair were found inside it. It is 57 cm in width by 22 cm in length.
This type of bag was designed to safely hold and transport plant material, including the chopped leaves and stems of pitjuri, a chewing narcotic. The small top opening and the close weave of the bag were intended to contain fine plant material. The handle was slung over a person's shoulder and supported by the same arm. The yoke shape allows the bag to be stored flat when empty.
The bag was made with two strands of woollen thread; one strand was the foundation element around the opening of the bag and the other was the continuous working strand. A bone or stick needle, using loop and twist stitches, made one large circular shape which was folded over and stitched along the bottom edge. The bag was then covered with a layer of dark red-brown ochre.
This bag has been made from introduced materials, but before foreign fibres were used dilly bags were made from bark, leaves, stems, roots, human hair, animal fur and animal sinew. The bag maker either created a pattern using the neutral shades (white, cream or shades of brown) of the natural fibres, or dyed the fibres before constructing the bag. The fibres would have been dyed by boiling them with different coloured plant roots and wood ash.
The plant matter found inside the bag, 'Duboisia hopwoodii' (pitjuri bush), grows in the arid interior of Australia but because of its economic and social value it was transported long distances along trade routes. The plant has a high nicotine content and was used as an anaesthetic, a stimulant and an appetite suppressant and was smoked during ceremonies.
The pitjuri within the dilly bag would have been prepared by male Elders using a high level of technical knowledge. The leaves and stems were dried, chopped and ground to a fine powder. The powder was mixed to a paste with ash, which freed the nicotine from the acids in the plant making it quickly absorbed into the bloodstream. The paste was rolled into quids (balls) for chewing.
This bag was collected by Dr Walter Edmund Roth, who collected more than 2,000 cultural objects and in 1905 the Australian Museum purchased the objects, now known as the 'Roth Collection'.

NEW YORK (AP) — Prominent Wall Street executive Lynn Tilton cheated investors in failing companies of more than $200 million and should be banned from the industry, a government lawyer told a judge on Monday before her attorney belittled the Securities and Exchange Commission's claims.
SEC senior trial counsel Dugan Bliss said Tilton and her New York-based Patriarch Partners group of investment firms wrongly collected the money in fees and other payments since 2003 without notifying investors that companies were defaulting on loans the investors had made to failing companies attempting turnarounds.
Bliss said Tilton engaged in a "classic breach of fiduciary duty" when she let companies pay less interest than they owed on their loans without disclosing to investors that the companies were not current with their payments. He said investors would testify that they were misled.
"Had they known what she was actually doing, they would not have invested," Bliss said they would say on the witness stand in Manhattan federal court, where the civil proceeding is expected to last several weeks.
Bliss said the SEC is seeking to ban Tilton from the securities industry, force her to give up more than $200 million she and her companies received in fees and other payments and face other financial penalties.
In opening statements, Tilton attorney Randy Mastro mocked the SEC's position, saying the case against her would be laughable were the agency not seeking to ruin her career.
He said the fraud case was built on revisionist history as the SEC ignored that she lacked motivation to cheat investors since she was already worth $1 billion or close to it when the regulatory agency claims she began the fraud.
He said she followed rules and put $440 million of her own money into companies and investment funds, giving up all fees and dividends for two years during the financial crisis.
"She is larger than life," Mastro said of the graduate of Yale University and the Columbia Business School whose resume includes stints at Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch and Kidder, Peabody & Co.
Mastro said the terms of the contracts gave Tilton wide discretion "to bring these distressed companies back from the dead" and everyone involved, including the investors, knew it.
"How could anybody have been deceived by this?" he asked. "They weren't. It's a lie."
In a statement Monday, Tilton said she was looking forward to proving the SEC's claims are "utterly meritless."
"I've never fit the mold of Wall Street and the private equity industry, and it appears that this has made me a target," she said. "But I believe that ultimately the truth will prevail."

please see the example:
http://jsfiddle.net/HpC9p/5/
I wan't the blue date to follow right after the text, regardless of number of lines

A: Why don't you move your "date" div  inside your "text" class and remove it's floating and set it to "display: inline"? It's so much easier!
This is what you'll have:

    asfd asdf sa f dsafas asfd gfds gds g fdsgfds gdsf fds  s gfds fds g fds ggsfd dsfgfds fds fds fds ds  ds dgsd fgfs g a sf faa a DATE right after this -->

12/12/12

And for the CSS:
.date {
   background: blue;
   display: inline;
}

A: You are setting the float: left; on the wrong element, as the .date should appear right of the .text, not right of the .header.
So the .text need a float: left; and also a specified width to leave some room for the date.
