Attack Drones Dominating Tanks as Armenia-Azerbaijan Conflict Showcases the Future of War

As I have stated multiple times..in the future it will be far far too dangerous to stand outside in the open with killer drones flying around. Militaries really need to rethink their equipment strategies. A howitzer team can't function if they have to always be under cover.
Azerbaijan's Turkish and Israeli drones are wiping out tanks, artillery, and soldiers as the Armenians lose ground in the disputed territory of Nagorno-Karabakh.
www.thedailybeast.com
STEPANAKERT, Nagorno-Karabakh—Stretched on a gurney, a soldier lies wrapped in gauze. Fifty percent of his body is burned, even inside his throat and lungs, says one of the paramedics in the back of the ambulance, which is making a seven-hour drive from Nagorno-Karabakh to Armenia's capital Yerevan. War broke out almost one month ago between Azerbaijan and Armenia over a disputed border territory.
The ambulance snuck out of Stepanakert in between air raid sirens, as Azerbaijani shelling of the city picked up again after a six-day break. Only the soldier's burned lips, a small part of the nose and his burnt eyelashes are showing. His hopes of survival are tied to a beeping respirator and the two paramedics constantly injecting him with morphine and saline solutions.
Reporters have been kept away from soldiers and the direct impact of the war in recent days, but plans scrambled by the reinvigorated shelling of Stepanakert lead to The Daily Beast suddenly finding ourselves in the back of this ambulance, being given an accidental glimpse at the human consequences of the war.
Kamikaze drones purchased from Israel have been used to devastating effect by Azerbaijan. These small craft also known as loitering munitions are able to surveil targets including tanks, artillery installations or troops before blowing themselves up. Larger Turkish drones are also flying high above the disputed region and launching missile strikes.
While the soldier in the ambulance has been unable to tell medics how he was so badly wounded, his head injuries and extensive burns are consistent with what they have seen with drone strikes, one doctor at the hospital in Stepanakert told The Daily Beast.
"He was damaged on the front line," says one of the paramedics in the ambulance, "We see many of these injuries. We need help here. We need to stop the war. It is terrible what is happening."
Before leaving the war zone and entering the relative safety of Armenia, there is a problem with the respirator. A female paramedic starts pumping air into the wounded soldiers' lungs manually. As they are about to lose the soldier, the ambulance comes to a full stop, while the driver is trying to get the motorized system running again. Shelling can be heard in the distance.
The mountains cause the sound to echo, making it hard to tell whether the shelling is close or far, but that does not hide the discomfort of the crew forced to pull over in the midst of another bombing.
A Bloody War In the Making
The war in Nagorno-Karabakh, which was almost entirely controlled by the self-proclaimed Republic of Artsakh, broke out on Sept. 27. Artsakh is a small mountainous pocket in the Caucasus which is internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan but has been claiming independence for almost 30 years. The population is almost entirely ethnic Armenian and the breakaway state is supported by Armenia. The republic declared independence after the war between Armenia and Azerbaijan, which lasted from the late 1980s to 1994, claiming 30,000 lives.
Since then, the dispute over the region has continued. The two sides fought a four-day war in 2016, but the current battles are the worst fighting the region has seen since the devastating war in the '90s. Armenia says it has lost around 900 servicemen, while Azerbaijan does not declare its death toll. However, according to Russian President Vladimir Putin, nearly 5,000 people have already died, and there are several reports about the huge loss of military hardware such as tanks on both sides despite two ceasefires negotiated in Moscow with Russia as the main mediator.
The ceasefires have already been broken and the crisis is of global significance. Nagorno-Karabakh is located next to regional superpowers such as Turkey, which support Azerbaijan militarily and politically in the conflict. At the same time, Russia has a defensive pact with Armenia, making the situation tense. The Republic of Artsakh is also located next to Iran, a major player in the region.
"We must be attentive that the war between Armenia and Azerbaijan does not become a regional war," Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said, according to BBC.
We have for a long time declared tanks to be dead without it happening... but tanks have not done well in the current crisis
— Ian Williams, missile defense expert
The war is also attracting increased attention in Washington, D.C. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo had leaders from both Azerbaijan and Armenia over for seemingly fruitless talks, while Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA), among others, has called for an immediate ceasefire.
"Azerbaijan's aggressive actions, fully supported by Turkey in Nagorno-Karabakh and against Armenia, must stop," said Markey. "Since Azerbaijan continues its attempts to resolve this conflict through the illegal use of military force, the international community will be left with no choice but to move to recognize the independence of the Republic of Artsakh."
He Is About to Die
Back in the ambulance, the soldier is fighting for his life. Occasionally he seems to regain consciousness for just long enough to gasp with pain. Before the ambulance took off towards the Armenian capital Yerevan, the stream of ambulances carrying wounded soldiers with empty stares and missing limbs from Stepanakert had been temporarily forced to stop. The air raid sirens started screaming over Stepanakert for the first time in several days, as Azerbaijani forces struck the city with what was reportedly both airplanes and artillery. Doctors, nurses and patients ran to the basement in one of the city's hospitals while explosions were heard nearby, shaking the bunker.
We can see them on our radar, but [the Turkish drones] fly too high for us to shoot them down
— Vladimir Vartanyan, military analyst for the Republic of Artsakh
One doctor in the bunker, who did not want to give his name due to restrictions on speaking to the media, told The Daily Beast that around 1,000 soldiers and 300 to 400 civilians had been declared dead at three hospitals in Artsakh, to his knowledge. These numbers point to far more casualties than the 900 officially reported by the Ministry of Defense in Artsakh, especially as some soldiers' bodies are never retrieved from the front line.
"We see many soldiers with burn and head injuries," says the doctor pointing to a room in the bunker where a soldier with severe brain injury is undergoing surgery. "The Turkish drones used by Azerbaijan are often giving the soldiers brain damage."
He is referring to the Azerbaijani use of Turkish-made Bayraktar TB2 drones, which are penetrating the Artsakh defenses, despite assistance from Armenia.
"We Cannot Shoot it Down"
Open source analysis gathered by Forbes magazine has tracked the destruction by drones of around 200 tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, and armored personnel carriers, plus 300 soft-skinned military vehicles as well as radars, short-range air defense systems, and missile launch vehicles.
The Armenians have no such drone army with which to strike back at Azerbaijaini targets.
In an interview with The Daily Beast, Suren Sarumyan, a spokesman for the Artsakh Defense Ministry, claimed that the Republic of Artsakh has been able to shoot down several drones but he accepted that the unmanned aerial assault vehicles were taking a toll.
"Drones do make an impact on the front line, but our soldiers are among the strongest in the world because they stand firm and fight hard," said Sarumyan, "The secret to that is that our soldiers defend their home, and it is very difficult to defeat them, even with all the world's drones."
While the military claims they can shoot down drones such as the Bayraktar TB2, Vladimir Vartanyan, a military analyst who is part of the press department of the Republic of Artsakh, disagrees.
"We can see them on our radar, but [the Turkish drones] fly too high for us to shoot them down," he said. He explained that much of the Artsakh defenses are remnants from 1991 to 1994 and badly in need of an upgrade "We use everything that we have now because this is total war," he said. "In my opinion, we need to buy some Russian systems, which have experience in shooting down these drones in Syria."
With Azerbaijan reported to be making large territorial gains in the southern part of Nagorno-Karabakh, Vartanyan said: "It is essential that we start to shoot them down very quickly."
Azerbaijan has previously confirmed that it is using Turkish drones in the war, according to Middle East Eye.
Ian Williams, an expert in missile defense and missile proliferation at the International Security Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, told The Daily Beast that what we see right now in Nagorno-Karabakh is the evolution of warfare.
"We have for a long time declared tanks to be dead without it happening. However, the Armenian tanks have not done well in the current crisis," said Williams. "Drones are relatively cheap for countries that would not normally be able to afford air support. The current crisis shows us what kind of damage they can do to an opponent without drones."
He Might Not Make it
A paramedic holds the soldier's head as the ambulance makes its way up and down through the mountains. The respirator is working again, and the sound of it pumping air into the soldier's lungs resumes. On the way to Yerevan, one of the paramedics gets the news that a friend has died near the front line. An atmosphere of grief descends on the ambulance as reports continue to come in of air attacks in several cities in the Republic of Artsakh.
As Yerevan approaches, the soldier starts to move his arms involuntarily while his chest spasms. The situation is eased by another morphine shot, but the paramedic shakes his head when asked whether the soldier will be safe once he reaches the hospital in Armenia's capital.
"The injuries might just be too much," he says.
Stryker1982
Perhaps it is not wise to jump to the conclusion that tanks are dead, but instead think about Armenia's small military budget in relation to protecting its airspace, in addition to future tank designs that may come with anti suicide-drone guns installed with thermal/optical cameras.
Stryker1982 said:
That ain't going to help much when a swarm of little cheap sacrificial cannonfodder drones appears and starts to circle your tank fast to get you to drain your ammo...while the real killer ones lurk nearby ready to pounce.
Look how small an A10 gun round is..and it can destroy a tank. We should expect small drones with lethal capabilities.

Not to mention kamizke-type drones like the ones that took out S-300. Unless tanks get some AI defence that can accurately destroy multiple hostiles in an instant (which no one has technology for as of yet) its not looking too hot for tanks in the future.

Drones would not be moving at the speed of that ammunition

Good luck trying to hit 20 small drones circling you. Hope the gun swivel has precision and you have unlimited ammo.

Dragon disagrees.
That's not the point I was trying to make. That small round can kill tanks because of the velocity it is launched at. A slow moving drone has to carry a higher amount of explosives to kill a tank, which may require it to be a bigger drone or at that point mind as well be an ATGM

Drones are a proven way to cheaply attack an opponent. However, drones alone will not win a war. Ground component is also required. The Azeri ground forces are much better this time then in the 90's. Battles in other parts of ME; Libya, Syria, and Yemen show the AC/drones alone are not enough. Even the Taliban were largely unfazed by robust CIA/USA drone strikes and control a large part of Afghanistan today.
For being victim of drone war we learned nothing, BC when world will stop using this shit we will start developing this shit..
CatSultan
Drones are powerful and cheap. But I wonder if this tactic would work if Armenia also had good drones and a modern ADS to counter the Turkish and Israeli drones used by Azerbaijan? So far this drone-blitz tactic used by Turkey has worked in Syria and Libya. But in Syria the took down the SAA's ADS first and when they were able to get it replaced they shot down a lot of the Turkish drones. I also wonder how AI technology might play into creating an effective counter measure against drone attacks.
Drones are expensive and easy to jam radio link. It only works on weak opponents, not powerful countries.

We are celebrating the UK's top gaming show with the creation of a dedicated news feed.
We will be bringing you all the news and views before during and after the show, as well as some community based frolics that will be announced soon. So keep your eyes locked on Backwards Compatible your friendly neighbourhood news feed.
The strength of the UK gaming scene has been demonstrated by Eurogamer selling out its 70,000 tickets for this years show.
It may be the next gen console that are drawing crowds but one thing is for sure this years show is looking to be Epic.
The Backwards compatible will be present in some capacity all through the show so look out for early impressions and articles straight from the show floor.
Eurogamer's Rezzed area is back to highlight the best in the independent Spirit of PC development.
One of the highlights of the 2012 Expo (At least for me) was the showcasing of smaller developers and publishers work. The Rezzed area is worth checking out because there is a lot more to gaming then just AAA. The list of confirmed titles is below on the read more tab.
In that spirit SEGA will again be sponsoring the Indie Games Arcade again this year, allowing even more exposure for Independent games.


I started out as an emergency physician and worked in a busy ER for upwards of 25 years. During that time, I was slapped, punched and kicked — several times — and had to wrestle with many out-of-control patients.
A patient peed on my leg.
I was pooped on — don't ask.
One patient pulled a knife on a colleague in a small exam room.
A good number of guns were found by me and my colleagues while cutting clothes off trauma victims. And guns were found hidden in the waiting room!
Though I myself witnessed no shootings during my ER years (thank goodness), gunfire in emergency departments across the country has not been uncommon, and staff members have been among the victims of these shootings.
But interestingly, no one ever said to me during my ER days "Wow! Aren't you nervous about working in that dangerous ER?" That is because most people have been in an ER and so know from experience that overall these are not really dangerous places. On the other hand, most people have not been in a correctional facility. All they know about jails and prisons is gleaned from movies and books. And in movie-land, danger sells.
So how dangerous are my jail medical clinics? Well, during the 15 years that I have been working in correctional medicine, nothing has happened like my ER experiences. Not once! The worst that has ever happened to me in my jail clinics is that my patients have occasionally yelled at me.
1. Weapons are forbidden in correctional facilities. The jail deputies do not carry guns while on duty in the jail. This is not because they don't carry firearms. Just like patrol officers, detention deputies are issued a service weapon — and they are expected to carry it when not in the jail, even when not on duty. But when detention deputies come to work at the jail, they secure their weapons in lockers at the jail entrance. No guns are allowed in the facility — at all! Most jails and prisons require all employees and visitors to go through an airport-like metal detector to make sure that no weapons end up in the jail.
2. Inmates in jail and prison are, for the most part, sober when I see them. It is hard to stress how important this is! The worst patients in the ER were those who were drunk, belligerent and wanting to fight. Inmates in the jail medical clinic have sobered up and so are that much less belligerent.
3. Even if a jail inmate wants to fight, I don't have to be involved. Burly detention deputies are always nearby. Though we try to safeguard patient privacy as much as possible, in a jail, safety and security take precedence over privacy. This means that security staff are always close, so they can respond immediately if need be. During most clinical encounters in my jails, the detention deputy is situated just outside the room to allow some privacy, but still be able to respond immediately if something happens. if an inmate has a high enough security level, one deputy (or even two) may literally stand right next to me.
4. Inmates are punished for acting out in clinic. This rarely happens in an ER. But in a jail, the punishment is no joke. Ill-behaving inmates can lose privileges (like not being able to buy from the jail commissary or the loss of visitation rights), be transferred to maximum security status or even face additional criminal charges. Nothing dissuades bad behavior more than swift and sure consequences!
5. Lastly, I can terminate a clinic appointment, knowing that I can see the inmate patient again in a day, or even in a couple of hours. He is just in his cell down the hall. This is my "go to" response to someone swearing at me: "We're done now, but I'll see you again in a little while after you have calmed down." In the ER, I had to put up with bad language, because if I kicked a patient out of the ER, I might never see them again. That was likely my one and only chance to make the diagnosis.
Of course, I am not saying that inmate-on-staff violence never occurs in jails, because it does. By far and away, however, most of this involves the security officers, not the medical staff. Thank goodness for them!
At least in the yard clinic, there seems to be 2 competing forces that are starting to collide. Patient privacy vs provider safety. While I do believe that patient privacy is important, at what extent do we compromise when it comes to provider safety. While there is always an officer in my clinic within 10 ft of my office door, I am expected to see the inmates with the door closed. Some officers have insisted that the door has to be locked (it is a double lock door) to keep the inmate being seen safe from other inmate that may be walking the hall in transit. I am ok with the concept of a closed door but a locked closed door seems to be disregarding the provider safety. While doing my residency, I seem to recall that the ER had a room for seeing mental health patients and there were 2 doors. One close to the patient to leave if they felt unsafe and another door close to the provider in case the provider needed to leave quickly. I think the 2 door model in correctional clinics is prudent. However, I do not believe there are any studies that have looked into this. Overall, I do agree that correctional medicine tends to be safer than the average medical clinic.

Braun & Hogenberg: Colonia Agrippina
Cartographer: Braun & Hogenberg
Title: Colonia Agrippina
Published: Cologne
Map ref: GER1901
Cologne. Detailed plan of the city from the first atlas dedicated solely to city maps, Braun & Hogenberg's 'Civitates Orbis Terrarum'. Costumed figures in the foreground depict local dress. In the cartouches, Cologne is described as the "God of the Rhine" with its "church of unsurpassable size". This beautiful map was published in the first atlas dedicated solely to city views, Georg Braun & Frans Hogenberg's Civitates Orbis Terrarum. The city of Cologne was home to both Braun & Hogenberg and was known to them both intimately; as such the city is repesented by a particularly fine map, one of the most accurate and detailed depictions of 16th-century Cologne available.
Between 1572 and 1618, Georg Braun (1541-1622) and Frans Hogenberg (1535-1590) produced six volumes of the Civitates Orbis Terrarum, comprising over five hundred city views and plans. Though city plans had been included in earlier atlases, no previous work had been devoted solely to the depiction of the known cities of the world. Nor was the Civitates entirely Eurocentric: it also included famous plans of Mexico City, Cuzco, Goa, Calicut, and many other African and Asian cities. Each volume was originally published with Latin text. Volumes 1 and 2 were the most popular and were reissued several times to meet growing demand. Editions were also published with German and French text rather than Latin. Many of the maps feature costumed figures in the foreground of the scene, making this an important record of contemporary dress and behaviour as well as geography.
The atlas was published in Cologne by Georg Braun with assistance from the engraver Frans Hogenberg and the artist Georg Hoefnagel. It was issued at a time when Europe was in the midst of religious and political turmoil during the Protestant Reformation and the subsequent Counter-Reformation. This, in part, explains the haphazard organisation of the work, as maps of cities in troubled regions might not have been available to Braun & Hogenberg during the publication of one volume, but might have become available later and were therefore shoehorned into a later edition. It also speaks to the skill and political will required to amass such an enormous collection of city maps, as well as to the strength of the scientific networks across Europe at the time that mayors, clergymen, and nobles, sometimes representing very small towns or villages, could send a map to Cologne and have it included in the next volume of the Civitates.
Hogenberg, who engraved many of the plates, was also the engraver for Abraham Ortelius's Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, the first modern world atlas. Georg Hoefnagel (1542-1600) is seldom credited with the part he played in the project, but he was, in fact, its biggest contributor, supplying 63 drawings, gleaned from travels in Germany, France and England in the 1560s. His landscape style is a distinguishing feature of his work. Hoefnagel himself is often depicted in the foreground of the views, sometimes accompanied by his travelling companion, Abraham Ortelius.
After 1618, control of the work passed to Abraham Hogenberg, who supervised further editions. Jan Jansson acquired the plates and reissued the volumes in Amsterdam in 1657 often without the costumed figures in the foreground as these would make the maps, some of which were now over 80 years old, look quite dated. The copperplates later went through the hands of two other Amsterdam-based publishers, Frederick de Wit and Pieter van der Aa, a testament to their continuing commercial popularity.

Gujarat: Amit Jethva murder convict Shiva Solanki's son 'dies by suicide'
10/27/2020 mediabest india
Police said that 24-year-old Meet Solanki shot himself through the right temple inside his room at his family home in Devli village and died on the spot around 1.30 pm.
Amit Jethva murder convict Pratap alias Shiva Solanki's 24-year-old son Meet, who was a student of Oxford University, allegedly died by suicide at his residence in Devli village of Kodinar taluka in Gir Somnath district on Monday.
Police said that 24-year-old Meet shot himself through the right temple inside his room at his family home in Devli village and died on the spot around 1.30 pm. "He was rushed to Ambuja Hospital and then to the community health centre in Kodinar, but was declared brought dead. Doctors said prima facie, it is a case of suicide," Kodinar police inspector Gambhirsinh Chudasama said.
"He had borrowed the revolver from his friend in Kodinar town and was alone in the room when the incident took place. After hearing the gunshot, his family members rushed him to hospital. While no suicide note has been recovered yet, we are shifting his body to a hospital for conducting a post-mortem," he added.
Chudasama added that Meet was studying at Oxford University but had returned to his native place around eight months with the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Shiva Solanki is the nephew of Dinu Solanki, former BJP MP from Junagadh. Dinu Solanki, Shiva and five others were sentenced to life imprisonment in July by a CBI court which held them guilty of murdering ATI activist Amit Jethva. The RTI activist was shot dead near Gujarat High Court in Ahmedabad in 2010.

Inasmuch as the global financial system is dependent upon the universal acceptance of the concept of money and the rules by which it is utilized to control the real economy, it is more than passing strange that the preeminent global financial newspaper, the Financial Times, would run a series of articles under the title CAPITALISM IN CRISIS. Note the missing question mark. In other words, the series will not be about whether capitalism is in crisis: CAPITALISM IN CRISIS? No, it will be about the fact of capitalism's crisis.
The practice of capitalism — or more properly, moneyism — requires that the practitioners have confidence that they understand how capitalism works and that it will keep functioning reliably and predictably. Therefore, if the FT was willing to acknowledge that capitalism is in a crisis, despite the danger that doing so could erode that confidence, one must assume that the objective of the series was to examine the crisis, explain it, and offer a cure, thereby bolstering confidence.
The series of 15 articles that the FT ran recently over a two-week period examined the crisis, tried to explain it, but remarkably, failed to offer anything close to a cure that matched the magnitude of the crisis.
The first article, by John Plender, announced that the series would be focused on "rethinking capitalism" because it was losing its popular acceptance as a result of "widening inequality." The only suggestion Plender had to offer was to tackle the special-interest groups and their lobbyists. Not a new idea. The question remains: How?
Lawrence Summers followed by offering the automobile as a metaphor. Nothing wrong with the car, just the alternator. The car doesn't need to be replaced or even overhauled. Just a minor repalir. He even suggested that "efforts to reform capitalism are more likely to divert from the steps needed to promote demand than to contribute to putting people back to work." Joining in the effort to rethink capitalism, Summers rejects reforming capitalism but chooses to reinvent it instead. He ends with: "It is not so much the most capitalist parts of the contemporary economy but the least — those concerned with health education and social protection that are in most need of reinvention." The question nags: How?
Next, John Gapper takes the banks to task for their sins, which are well enumerated, but suggests they are the consequence of shareholder demands for short-term earnings. He then concludes with the opinion: "If shareholders are willing to accept lower returns, banks may be able to regain some social legitimacy." Fat chance.
Then John Kay and Vikram Pandit, CEO of Citigroup, chime in with their articles under the title "Capitalism is the wrong target — but we can refine it." Rethink, reinvent, refine, reform, whatever. Kay argues that it is not capitalism itself but the marketplace that should be under consideration, and that if we thought more clearly about the distinction between the two we would better understand the strength of the market and the role of capital. Pandit calls for more transparency in the banking industry, concluding that "we could go a long way … by making the system more transparent, by clearing some of the obscurity that causes people to believe the system is a game rigged against their interests." In other words, if people could only see how the system works they would realize that it is not a rigged game. Sure.

The Faerie Path is the first novel in a six-book series by the British author Frewin Jones.  The story follows Anita Palmer, a teenager from two different parallel universes, and her struggle to maintain both lives.

Plot
On the eve of her sixteenth birthday, Anita has an accident and ends up in hospital with her boyfriend Evan. To brighten her mood, at midnight her parents give her one of her presents, one sent to her by mail with no return address: it is a beautiful book, but the pages are blank.

Anita explores the book, which suddenly has a story written inside. It tells about a lost princess, the seventh of seven daughters, who has become trapped in the Mortal World on her sixteenth birthday, the night before she was to marry Lord Gabriel Drake. Suddenly Anita grows wings and she flies out of the window, above London. Suddenly, her wings wither away and she falls.  Found in the hospital bathroom by a nurse, she is returned to her bed, still worried about Evan not waking. The nurse brings Anita a gift addressed to her, from Evan's belongings.  The gift is a necklace that she quickly puts around her neck. She fell asleep, and when she woke up, Evan is gone. A ghostly image appears to Anita, the image of Gabriel Drake, calling her to follow him. Anita followed Lord Drake out onto a balcony where he urges her to focus strongly on him so that she can reach him. Anita tries her hardest to focus on him and suddenly their hands meet in the air. Lord Drake pulls Anita from the Mortal realm presents her to her father: as it turns out, Anita is also Tania, the seventh child of Oberon and Titania, king and queen of fairyland.

Children of Oberon and Titania
Eden - Eden is the eldest child. Like her father, she is able to wield the power of the Mystic Arts. She is married to Lord Valentine, prior to the first book. Her favorite color was never revealed, nor what her bedroom was adorned with. She once had black hair but during her 500 year solitude, it turned white as snow. Her eyes are blue.

Hopie - Hope is the second eldest child. Her power is the ability to heal. She is married to Lord Brython prior to the first book. Her favorite color is brown, as is the color of her hair and eyes, and her bedroom is adorned with dark woodland plants and trees.

Sancha - Sancha is the 3rd born. Her power is the ability to move objects without touching them and the ability to read anything instantly with a simple touch. She is unmarried. Her favorite color is black. Her bedroom is adorned with unending words and stories. Her hair is dark brown and her eyes are a deep blue

Cordelia - Cordelia is the 4th born and middle child. Her power is the ability to communicate with all animals. In book 4, she married Lord Bryn. Her favorite color is green and her bedroom is adorned with various wildlife. Her eyes are green and her hair is a light ginger-gold.

Zara - Zara was the 5th born and third youngest child. Her power was the ability to weave enchantments into her music. She was killed in book 3 by Lord Gabriel Drake and would later become the Dream Weaver posthumously. She did not have a love interest. Her favorite color was blue. Her bedroom was adorned with crashing waves. Her hair was blonde and her eyes were a bright blue.

Rathina - Rathina is the 6th born and second youngest child. Her ability is the ability to wield Isenmort (metal) with no ill effects. She was the secondary antagonist if books 1-3 due to her love for the main antagonist, Lord, Gabriel Drake. Her favorite color is red. Her bedroom is adorned with tireless dancers. Her hair is deep black and eyes that are deep blue.

Tania - Tania is the 7th born and youngest child. Her power is the ability to walk between the realms of Faerie and the Mortal world. She is the main protagonist of the book. Her favorite color is purple. Her romantic interest is Edric Chanticlear. Her bedroom is adorned with mountain scenes and wildlife. She looks exactly like her mother; red hair and green eyes.

Reception
The Faerie Path was viewed as a "floral Faerie tale may unspool at a measured pace, but girls will likely take to Anita. ... A well-executed reference to Romeo and Juliet gives the finale a bit more punch than most fantasy romances" and a "well-paced style that will communicate with today's readers."  It was rated as a book with good Christian values by Squeaky Clean Reviews who also found the "revelation of the villains horribly predictable."  It was recommended for readers who enjoy romance and adventure.

Farmers in northern Thailand cut small patches of forest, grow crops, then let the trees regrow. The result: good harvests and happy woods.
Story and Photographs by Gleb Raygorodetsky
In the dark, unfurnished room where Chaiprasert Phokha sits, in a house on stilts, a sunbeam falls through the pane-less window and fills a glass jar with amber light. Phokha leans his wiry body into the light and pops the vacuum-sealed lid off the jar. With an encouraging nod, he passes it to me. The sweet aroma of rainforest blossoms fills my nostrils.
"We've harvested 3,000 jars (1,500 lbs) of wild honey this year," Phokha says. "All of it came from wild bees living in the forest around our village."
In Hin Lad Nai, burned fields are restored for agriculture. This is sometimes confused for a more harmful practice in which forests are burned to make way for pastures. The Thai energy company PTT gave its Green Globe Award to Hin Lad Nai to recognize the village's ecological stability.
The village is Hin Lad Nai, an indigenous Karen settlement in the Chiang Rai province of northern Thailand, and Phokha is the head of it. The wooded hills around it look like a wilderness, as lush as the national park we drove through on the way north.
Yet this forest has been slashed and burned for centuries.
The villagers here practice "shifting cultivation," an age-old and worldwide practice of clearing patches of forest to plant crops for a few seasons, then letting the woods return. It's also called "swidden agriculture." But "slash-and-burn" is the pejorative term that captures how many foresters and development experts, both in Thailand and around the world, perceive this tradition.
The honey in my hand, though, tells a different story. It's evidence of a forest with rich soils and abundant wildlife—including that key indicator of a healthy ecosystem, bees.
"Hin Lad Nai forest has remained remarkably healthy, despite centuries of shifting cultivation," says Prasert Trakansuphakon, a Thai social scientist and Karen himself who has worked with the village for years. "And, at a time when numbers of honeybees are declining worldwide, local wild bees are thriving."

A Misunderstood Tradition
In a 1957 report, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) declared shifting cultivation a "backward type of agricultural practice" and "a backward stage of culture in general." Ever since, the predominant view among experts has been that the practice devastates forests and biodiversity. More recently it has been charged with contributing to climate change.
The criticism is to some extent based on confusion with an entirely different kind of slashing-and-burning, says Thailand-based agricultural anthropologist Malcolm Cairns. When farmers, ranchers, or corporations destroy intact forests and permanently transform them into pastures or plantations, it's clearly not good for the forests or the environment in general. But "that's very different," Cairns says, "from the sustainable, rotational shifting cultivation practices of indigenous peoples."
Those practices, which are found on every continent, are extremely varied. But they follow a common pattern. First, most of the trees and shrubs are cut down in a relatively small patch of forest, typically around one hectare, where they are left to dry. In a few days, the withered vegetation is burned to put nutrients into to the soil in preparation for planting crops.
This practice makes the use of artificial fertilizers unnecessary. What's more, weeds and pests are destroyed by the fire, eliminating the need for herbicides and pesticides during the short period of crop cultivation.
After one or two growing seasons, the field is fallowed, or set aside to rest. Eventually the forest returns, and the cycle is repeated.
Hin Lad Nai's fields have been part of such a cycle for at least 400 years, sustaining both the villagers and the forest with its diverse wildlife. Even endangered tigers are seen there, Phoka says.
In November, the extended families of Hin Lad Nai villagers harvest dry upland rice.
Bad for Climate or Good?
The controversy around shifting cultivation has recently been heating up because of a global campaign aimed at slowing climate change by keeping carbon locked up in forests. Advocates of Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation, or REDD, as the United Nations campaign is called, tend to see all kinds of slash-and-burn agriculture as a major contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
When it comes to permanent land conversion programs for industrial agriculture, they're surely right. Last year in Indonesia, for instance, fires set to clear the land for oil palm and pulp and paper plantations produced an acrid haze that enveloped Southeast Asia, and a surge in greenhouse gas emissions.
But a multi-year study of Hin Lad Nai and neighboring Karen villages in northern Thailand found that the area where shifting cultivation is practiced absorbs significantly more carbon than it releases each year. Burning trees do add carbon to the atmosphere, of course—but in a given year only around 10 percent of the land around Hin Lad Nai is burned and planted. The rest lies fallow for six to 10 years, soaking up carbon in growing trees and soil.
"Soils formed under shifting cultivation have more organic matter, and therefore more carbon, than most permanent agricultural fields or tree plantations," Cairns says. "Consequently, carbon storage under swidden-fallow systems is greater both above and below the ground."
"Over millennia, forests like Hin Lad Nai have been influenced, and likely formed, by shifting cultivation. The REDD program is now trying to 'protect' the forests from the very thing that has made them what they are."
According to Chaiprasert Phokha, to have food security, Hin Lad Nai villagers must grow 1.2 tons of rice per person annually in their swidden fields and paddies.
It's Resilient and Adaptive, Too
Far from aggravating climate change, shifting cultivation could help indigenous peoples and the rest of humankind adapt to it. "The shift to a Green Economy must include shifting cultivation," says Miguel Pinedo-Vasquez of Columbia University's Earth Institute Center for Environmental Sustainability.
Swidden-fallow systems, he argues, maintain a mosaic of fields, fallows, and forests, that is heterogeneous and therefore resilient to climate change. When managed properly—it's essential, for instance, to resist the pressure to farm the fallows too soon—such systems preserve local biodiversity, even as they enable villagers to harvest a broad range of vegetables, herbs, and fruits from the fields and wild medicines and edible plants from the forests.
And also wild honey. Before leaving Hin Lad Nai, I buy a few jars of amber rainforest goodness to share with family and friends, imagining a day when "Swidden Honey," with its rich floral flavor, becomes as coveted in certain circles as shade-grown coffee.
Maybe the Karen could get a marketing boost from a seal of approval bestowed by some enlightened international organization—maybe it could even be the FAO. According to the FAO's Yon Fernandez de Larrinoa, the organization is now reconsidering whether shifting cultivation is really as backward as it used to think.

Oneplus wants to offer a personalised shopping experience to its fan community by launching an exclusive online brand store for its Indian users.
Other competing international brand have already taken this route – For example Xiaomi, who opened their online store more than a year back, and they have been successful in garnering decent product sales from their online store.
Oneplus already had a global store, however, the new store is focussed on Indians users only.
India is an important country for OnePlus – Not only their phones are popular in India, but they also have a big chunk of their users here. is one of the most popular brand. The store will not only sell their own smartphones and accessories, but is aimed at building a bigger and better Oneplus community of users.
Interestingly, if you want to purchase OnePlus smartphone, the store directs users to Amazon, however, in case of accessories, the purchase happens on OnePlus store itself. Also, currently the prices of products on the store and on Amazon are nearly the same.
The company hopes that the new online store will improve the availability as well as make it easier for its fans to purchase genuine OnePlus products.
To make it more rewarding for early supporters, OnePlus is also bringing its latest range of exclusive merchandise and is offering limited-time offers for existing users. To avail these offers, users just have to register the IMEI details of their smartphones on the portal and get shopping.
Overall, this is a good move by OnePlus – going forward for future launches they will be able to take advantage of their own store and may not need to rely on 3rd party marketplaces for their sales.

total $150B over next f...
SMT & Inspection | January 11, 2007
Wafer equipment investments to<br>total $150B over next four years
Over the next four years $150 billion will be invested globally in wafer fab equipment, according to a keynote speaker at the SEMI Industry Strategy Symposium (ISS) conference.
Steve Newberry, president of Lam Research, noted that memory makers will account for 54 percent of the spending and pure-play foundries for 21 percent. "Those two segments will continue to dominate what determines success for wafer fab equipment companies," he said. Equipment buying patterns will also change in the future, with larger volume purchases being made by "gigafabs" that produce more than 100K wafer-starts per month, according to Newberry. Further, the customer base for equipment and materials suppliers will decline due to consolidation, joint ventures and manufacturing alliances, requiring closer collaboration among all parties. A proliferation of new materials will add complexity to the development of new tools and processes, according to Newberry. During the 1980s a dozen materials were used in semiconductor manufacturing and only four new materials were adopted during the decade of the 1990s. However, since 2000 more than 40 new materials have been added to the mix. "Making smart choices about which materials and which devices are likely to win is going to be critical for the success of companies," said Newberry. The volatility of the silicon cycles will be reduced going forward, according to Newberry. He pointed out that the industry's capex-to-revenue ratio declined from 26 percent in the 1999-2002 cycle to 20 percent in the current cycle, which started in 2003. During the past three years the capex ratio peaked at 22 percent, whereas in previous cycles it peaked above 30 percent, triggering a significant downturn in orders the following year. These trends will result in cycles with lower amplitudes but more frequency, said Newberry. .Jackson Hu, CEO of Taiwan foundry UMC, noted that in the past innovation in chip design was typically driven by new fabless start up companies. However, there were fewer fabless start ups in 2005 than in 1999. One factor contributing to the decline is the increasing complexity of system-on-a-chip (SOC) designs. "If you talk to the venture capital companies, [they say] it takes $30 million to successfully develop one new product in a startup [chip] company," said Hu. U.S. companies dominate the fabless market, accounting for 74 percent of total market revenues in 2005, followed by Taiwan companies with 17 percent, according to Hu, citing data from the Fabless Semiconductor Association (FSA). China and Europe were in equal third place, each with 3 percent of the market. Hu believes India will be the region to watch in future for fabless company growth. "China is not the largest threat to Taiwanese fabless companies. India is the largest threat due to large numbers of engineers in design and software," he said. The high cost of engineering talent in the U.S. has accelerated the outsourcing trend. Hu noted that for the price of one design engineer in the U.S., a company can hire five or six engineers in India. In fact, nine out of the top 10 fabless companies have now established design centers in India, according to Hu.

Metasploit team released Metasploit Vulnerable Services Emulator
March 5, 2017 By Pierluigi Paganini
Rapid7 released the Metasploit Vulnerable Services Emulator, a new tool that can be used by IT experts to emulate vulnerable services.
Which is the best way to protect a system? You need to think of the system in the attacker's perspective, for this reason, Metasploit has now a new tool that can be used to emulate vulnerable service, the Metasploit Vulnerable Services Emulator. The tool is open source, it was designed to give users a vulnerable OS platform that could allow security experts to test the thousands of Metasploit modules available for its community.
"There's one problem: it's hard to use Metasploit without vulnerable services to play against." wrote Jin Qian in a blog post. "We developed the Vulnerable Services Emulator to fill this gap. It is a framework that makes it easy to emulate the vulnerable services for penetration testing purposes"
In the past, Metasploit released two vulnerable OS images, Metasploitable2 and Metasploitable3, with this purpose. but their use was limited due to the small subset of the thousands of Metasploit modules available for users.
The Metasploit Vulnerable Services Emulator is available on GitHub, it already emulates more than 100 vulnerable services as explained by Qian.
"Right now, it emulates over 100 vulnerable services, covering things like compromising credentials, getting a shell from the victim, and more. After going through module exercises, users can learn details about security vulnerabilities and how to test them, and are encouraged to continue to learn and play with Metasploit's capabilities," said Qian.
The Metasploit Vulnerable Services Emulator works on Windows, Mac or Linux. It is very easy to install and use, as a prerequisite it requires the installation of a working Perl installation.
The developers who designed the tool used JSON to describe vulnerable services, a choice to make independent the platform from the specific programming language.
"We know developers have very different preferences on programming languages, so instead of implementing the vulnerable services using a particular language, the framework describes vulnerable service interactions in JSON." continues the post. "It's not a programming language per se but it has enough logic for service emulation. The following is the description for the vulnerable printer service."
Security experts can use the Metasploit Vulnerable Services Emulator to test their Metasploit modules or to get training on Metasploit.

Reflections on the Life and Death of an Iraqi Militant
Charles Glass
Portraits of Iraqi militia leader Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis line a street in Beirut on Jan. 11, 2020. As much as the death of Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani in a U.S. missile strike inflamed passions in Iran, the killing of al-Muhandis in the same operation had similar effects in Iraq, where he was a widely known and respected militia leader.
(JOSEPH EID/AFP via Getty Images)
Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis fought Saddam Hussein, engineered attacks on Western embassies and took on the Islamic State. His death in the same strike that killed Iran's Qassem Soleimani increased local hostility to the U.S. presence in Iraq....


On Coaching + Masterminds: What Support Does a Mompreneur Need?
Business coaching, life coaching, masterminds, oh my! What type of support system works best for creative mompreneurs — and what makes an impact on business or personal success? We asked our MotherHustle panelists.
It wasn't until I began connecting with (ok, following) other female entrepreneurs online that I realized not only how important it was to have connections with other like-minded ladies, but also how much I was missing it from my agency days.
Still, I stayed a quiet online lurker, watching as others connected and shared. Which suited me for a long time. But then I got to a point where I felt stuck and alone in my business. I knew I needed someone with an outside perspective. Someone who could help me strategically work ON my business rather than just IN it.
Working with a business coach one-on-one helped hold me accountable to my dreams. It helped me stop saying "one day" and start saying "next step". It made me analyze where I was and define where I wanted to be.
Through my coach, I also had the opportunity to take part in two mastermind experiences. What is a mastermind, you ask? It's when a group of business owners comes together to offer each other regular support, business advice, brainstorming, strategy and all-around awesome sisterhood.
One of my mastermind groups was held entirely online, and the other involved an in-person retreat. Both experiences helped shape my business and my goals in different ways.
So I was curious: what experiences did the other MotherHustle panelists have with coaching and masterminds — and did they impact their business growth and life fulfillment?
"I spent about six months working with an amazing life coach in a program that was all about finding clarity and purpose. Along the way I unraveled a lot of personal stuff that was holding me back. It made me realize that we don't need to have major 'issues' or traumatic events in our lives to feel stuck, confused and discontent—especially when we're dealing with the huge impact of entrepreneurship and motherhood.
"I recently finished up a 4 month 1:1 coaching program. My focus was more on personal growth and working through some mindset shifts. We really dove in deep about why I don't feel successful as well as some major money mindset shifts. It was invaluable for me to be able to share my thoughts and feelings without having to be filtered.
So mamas, we want to know: what type of support do you rely on in your life + business? Coaching? Masterminds? Something else? Or are you still trying to find the right support for you? Let us know in the comments, or join the conversation on Facebook or Instagram.
I own XOXO Invites with my sister and I love the idea of mastermind groups. Where do I go to find one? I follow Heart Centered Buisness group and have had lots of coffee chats with ladies everywhere. Some where really eye opening but never really had a group to be a part of. I would love to learn more. Thank you!!

Simlångsdalen is a locality situated in Halmstad Municipality, Halland County, Sweden, with 696 inhabitants as of 2020.

History
The locality was named Breared until 1912 when the name was changed to Simlångsdalen based on the book published in 1903 by Fredrik Ström titled The people of Simlångsdalen. The name Breared lives on as the name of the nearby lake, the parish and ward and in the name Breareds church.

Simlångsdalen neighboring lakes are named Simlången and Breared Lake. About 2 km south of Simlångsdalen lies "Danska Fallet", a waterfall in the river  Assman.
Simlångsdalen was previously one of the stations along Halmstad Bolmen Railway, which was in operation from 1889 to 1966. The railway has since been converted into a pedestrian walkway and bicycle path.
