CIVILIAN POSTS
1. Personal Attributes
The post requires considerable initiative and judgement and a high degree of flexibility in order to be able to respond to the tremendously varied requests for information from the SHAPE staff as well as from NATO HQ, other ACO HQs, outside organisations, the media and the general public. Flexibility and analytical ability are required for developing and carrying out research strategies to find needed information using resources both inside and outside of SHAPE, as well as for preparing historical reports that summarize and evaluate the wide range of issues being worked by the SHAPE staff. There is often a need to master complex new subject areas in a very short time. Preparing for and conducting interviews of senior officers and officials requires a high degree of thought and judgement in selecting the questions to be asked, gaining the interviewee's trust and confidence, and developing follow-on questions in the course of the interview. Judgement and a keen awareness of the political sensitivities of historical issues are also necessary in providing advice to senior officers and in reviewing their speeches and publications prior to delivery. Evaluation of material for potential downgrading or declassification requires extensive judgement.
2. Managerial Responsibilities
Supervise the work of the Historical Assistant in the SHAPE Historical Office and also provide guidance to additional duty Historical Officers in subordinate headquarters in ACO and to field historians deployed on NATO operations.
3. Professional Contacts
In addition to extensive contacts with staff officers from all of the SHAPE divisions, the Assistant Historian conducts interviews with very senior officers and officials. He must therefore be able to inspire their trust and confidence in his ability to maintain confidentiality and must exercise a high degree of tact, coupled with polite perseverance, in conducting such historical interviews. The Assistant Historian also has considerable professional contacts outside SHAPE, responding to historical queries from the official history offices of the member nations, from university professors and students interested in the history of NATO, from the media (in coordination with the Public Information Office) and the general public. Coordinates with National Military Representatives on declassification issues and their requests for historical information, and maintains ties with official historians from the member nations.
4. Contribution to the Objectives
The Assistant Historian ensures that SHAPE/ACO maintains an effective institutional memory by gathering and preserving records, conducting interviews to obtain essential (and often sensitive) information from senior officers and key staff officers, and preparing written histories summarizing the activities of SHAPE and ACO. The historical chronologies and reports prepared by the Assistant Historian save considerable staff effort and prevent duplication of work done in the past. The advice provided by the Assistant Historian to the Command Group on sensitive historical issues can prevent controversial situations from arising. The Assistant Historian also assists the SHAPE staff, NATO Headquarters, and subordinate headquarters in ACO by providing needed information that would otherwise not be available.
5. Work Environment
The work is normally performed in a typical Office environment. Normal Working Conditions apply. The risk of injury is categorised as: No risk / risk might increase when deployed.

After the reconstruction the seating capacity of Dinamo Stadium has increased to more than 22,200. The canopy covers the stands by 70-80%. The press box will be able to accommodate more than 800 media representatives. There are 150 commentary booths for radio and television.


Most control valves and faucets have internal mechanisms that substantially reduce water flow, even when they are completely open. They are also commonly difficult to operate.
These shut-off valves overcome both problems. The internal mechanism is a cross-drilled ball that can be fully opened or fully closed in a quarter turn.
The polished stainless-steel ball in an all-brass body operates with a 3-1/2" long handle that is a breeze to turn. The oversized internal openings dramatically increase water flow compared with other in-line valves. They make wonderful in-line shut-off valves to let you control sprinklers without having to run back to the hose bib every time.
For cantankerous faucets, you can attach one directly, turn the faucet on full and then use the smoothly functioning ball valve for shut-off or general control the rest of the summer. The valves have standard male and female fittings.
Available in two styles, straight or Y-valve. Both are excellent valves at remarkable prices.


In an endeavor to safeguard standardization of solar components across India's solar power ecosystem, Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has announced that it has released a draft quality control order for Solar Thermal Systems, in accord with the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) guidelines.
The ministry has by now declared the quality control order for Solar Photo Voltaic (SPV) Systems.
As per the draft order, a manufacturer or seller of solar thermal systems will now have to list with BIS to attain a Standard Mark. The order has also forbidden storage, sale, import or distribution of solar thermal systems by manufacturers or by any person on behalf of a manufacturer which does not bear the Standard Mark.
Though, the manufacturers of solar thermal systems meant for exports are relieved from the requirement of applying for a Standard Mark from BIS.
Solar thermal systems which do not imitate to the specified standard will have to be distorted beyond use and disposed of as scrap by the domestic manufacturer or by the representative of an overseas manufacturer.
In order to warrant compliance of the guidelines, MNRE can seek information along with sample of goods from the manufacturers on the systems any time. The ministry can also inspect the systems at any point in time. In cases of contravention, the ministry can also search and seize goods. In cases where the solar thermal systems are of varying size and rating, the goods will be grouped and granted series approval.
A sample of solar thermal systems of a registered user will be drawn from his manufacturing unit or from the market for ascertaining their conformity to the standards. The samples will be drawn at least once in two years for a product or series of products covered under the scope of registration granted.
The ministry has requested comments from the general public and the germane stakeholders by 8 April 2019.

Q: jQuery event when particular option is selected I want to add code into a div when a particular option from a select is selected.
This is the code, and I don't know why is not working.
<select id="selectbasic ref" name="selectbasic ix-select-how" class="input-xlarge">
    <option value="" label=""></option>
    <option value="SearchEngine" label="Suchmaschine">Suchmaschine</option>
    <option value="Webhostlist" label="Webhostlist">Webhostlist</option>
    <option value="Press" label="Presse">Presse</option>
    <option value="Friend" label="Bekannte">Bekannte</option>
    <option value="ByChance" label="Zufällig">Zufällig</option>
    <option value="Others" label="Sonstige">Sonstige</option>
</select>

And the jQuery:
$('#ref').change(function () {
    if ($(this).val() === 'Others') {
        $("div.control-group.ix-hidden").append("Wie?

<input type='text' class='input-xlarge' id='email' name='email' placeholder='Wie?'>

");
    }
});

A: Giving two IDs for a single element is not valid HTML and will lead to undefined behavior in any javascript that attempts to interact with the DOM. Remove the second ID from the select and it works fine:
<select id="ref" name="selectbasic ix-select-how" class="input-xlarge">

http://jsfiddle.net/ueEEW/
Why can't you have two IDs?

A: <select id="selectbasic ref" ...>

Attribute ID must be single:
<select id="ref" ...>

A: Please check your jQuery selector. I think your id should be without spaces (try id = 'selectbasicRef') and while referencing it in your jQuery code it should be $("#selectbasicRef").change(function(){ //code });
Hope it helps!

A: First thing is that attribute ID of any filed should be single, and no space between ID attribute name. For example
<select id="ref" name="selectbasic ix-select-how" class="input-xlarge">

Hope it help you.

A: assigning multiple ids to the same id attribute using a space-separated list is not possible

Noninvasive Hemodynamic Monitoring Devices: New Tools or Just Another Toy?
From the Department of Anesthesiology, Ghent University Hospital, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Ghent University, Ghent, Belgium.
Corresponding article on page 1080.
IN this month's issue of Anesthesiology, Kim et al.1 report on a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies assessing the accuracy and precision of continuous noninvasive arterial pressure monitoring devices. The question is of interest and has clinical relevance in view of the growing trend in the area of hemodynamic monitoring to obtain a maximum of information using minimally invasive devices.
This trend has first appeared in the noninvasive (or minimally invasive) assessment of cardiac output and its derived variables. Such new devices have been developed to replace direct measurements obtained via cannulation of arterial and/or central venous vessels. Basically, these devices rely on computer software and algorithms developed by industry to provide an estimation of the different variables. Although successive software versions progressively yielded more reliable data, there are still clinical situations in which data obtained with noninvasive cardiac output measurements not truly reflect the patient's hemodynamic condition.2 In the last few years, this trend of noninvasively estimating hemodynamic variables has extended to the assessment of arterial pressures.3 The reasons for such development are straightforward. On the one hand, patients undergoing high-risk surgery and/or presenting with multiple comorbidities may require close hemodynamic monitoring with beat-to-beat arterial pressure analysis. On the other hand, potential occurrence of mechanical, thrombotic, and infectious complications described with invasive cannulation of an artery may warrant the search for a less invasive approach.
Currently, the continuous noninvasive arterial pressure monitoring systems that are commercially available are Nexfin (BMEYE B.V., Amsterdam, The Netherlands), CNAP (CNSystems, Graz, Austria), and T-line (Tensys Medical Inc., San Diego, CA). The first two are based on the principle of volume clamp already developed in 1973 by Penaz,4 whereas the latter is based on the principle of arterial tonometry.5 From the analysis by Kim et al. it seems that the studies published on the commercially available technologies (n = 14) show an overall pooled bias of −1.8 ± 12.4 mmHg for systolic arterial pressure, 6.0 ± 8.6 mmHg for diastolic arterial pressure, and 3.9 ± 8.7 mmHg for mean arterial pressure. These limits do not satisfy the standards that have been established for the validation of automatic arterial pressure monitoring by the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation.6 It is therefore concluded that both accuracy (closeness of a measurement value to its actual true value) and precision (the degree to which repeated measurements under unchanged conditions show the same results, i.e., reproducibility) may—for the moment—not be sufficient to allow for reliable clinical decision making.
It is to be expected that in the future further development of software and refining of the algorithms used will enhance reliability of the different noninvasive systems for continuous arterial blood pressure measurements. Nevertheless, a number of considerations need to be taken into account when deciding to implement such devices in daily clinical practice.
First, the type of patients who need continuous blood pressure measurements also frequently necessitates regular blood sampling for the assessment of various biochemical variables. The presence of an arterial line greatly facilitates such sampling, and the use of a noninvasive system for continuous blood pressure monitoring will not avoid the necessity for arterial blood sampling in a majority of cases.
Second, the analysis of signals processed by the noninvasive continuous arterial pressure measurement systems is based on algorithms and software programs which are developed by the technical staffs of the different manufacturers involved. The clinical anesthesiologist is—at the best—aware of a number of variables that are included in the design of the software but has no knowledge on the exact algorithms used in the different devices. Hence, it is virtually impossible for the random anesthesiologist to have an insight in how the incoming signals are processed and finally result in the number displayed on the screen. This is in sharp contrast to the signals obtained by regular invasive blood pressure analysis, where every anesthesiologist is capable of assessing and appreciating technical pitfalls such as damping and/or oscillations of the signal.7,8 Although it is probably a normal evolution that the design of monitoring tools moves away from the basic understanding of the clinical anesthesiologist, we should realize that we are increasingly using tools that are designed for us and not anymore by us.
Third, despite the general feeling that especially the very sick patient may benefit from continuous extensive hemodynamic monitoring, there are little data showing that such monitoring substantially improves patient outcome.2 Nevertheless, integrating information of several monitoring tools may help in better guiding therapeutic interventions. Recently, Wax et al. demonstrated that invasive and noninvasive (cuff) blood pressure measurements may yield differential results, especially during periods of hypotension and hypertension. Noninvasively measured blood pressure tended to be higher than radial artery blood pressure during periods of hypotension and lower during periods of hypertension. Interestingly, the use of noninvasive blood pressure measurement to supplement arterial blood pressure measurements was associated with a decreased use of blood transfusions, vasopressor or inotrope infusions, and antihypertensive medications compared with the use of arterial blood pressure measurement alone.9 It remains to be established whether data from continuous noninvasive blood pressure monitoring are indeed capable of replacing direct arterial blood pressure measurement or whether they simply will provide additional information that may help in tailoring therapeutic interventions.
It is therefore essential that parallel to the further design of noninvasive monitoring tools, the impact of data from such systems on clinical decision making and ultimately the impact on patients' outcome are evaluated. In the end, it is not the availability of a multitude of numbers, coming from different monitoring tools that will improve clinical management and outcome of the patient, but the correct interpretation of these data integrated in the entire clinical picture of the particular patient.

Construction of what was intended to be the first installation on Frigg, the DP1 drilling platform, began in the summer of 1973. The steel jacket was due to be positioned on the field the following summer.

McDermott was responsible for design and management, and the structure was to be fabricated at Union Industrielle et d'Enterprises at Cherbourg in France. Certification responsibility rested with classification society Det Norske Veritas and Oceanic was in charge of transport and installation on the field. Work was completed on schedule in 1974, and the jacket was towed to Stavanger in late June 1974.

But the difficulties began when the jacket was to be taken out to the field. The first problem arose with the DB 22 Oceanic crane vessel, which was due to lift the structure into position on Frigg. This ship suffered a failure during an assignment on Ekofisk a couple of weeks earlier. A replacement accordingly had to be found.
The market was reasonably tight, but Total had a vessel – the ETPM 1601 – which was to be used for pipelines. This was straightforwardly transferred to Elf for use as a crane ship. The barge to carry the jacket from Stavanger to the field was due to be ready and leave the yard in Hamburg at the end of June 1974, but did not actually set out until early September. Poor weather meant that the jacket was not towed out to the By Fjord off Stavanger until 9 October.

The launch of the 6 700-tonne jacket was initiated on the morning of 14 October on the NCS, 1 500 metres from the boundary and 1 600 metres from the site originally planned on the UKCS. Plans called for the structure to be raised first into a vertical position and then sunk until its feet were five-six metres above the seabed, before being manoeuvred into its exact location.
After the jacket had entered the water, however, one of its buoyancy tanks collapsed and the structure began to sink. The rising water pressure also ruptured the remaining buoyancy tanks and the jacket hit the seabed.
Two of its legs were bent by the force of the collision, and the whole structure sank in 107 metres of water. Errors had been made in calculating the strength of the buoyancy elements intended to ensure that the jacket could be elevated from horizontal to vertical in a controlled way. As a result, the steel in the tank walls was too thin.
First recovery operation to try and save the DP1 steel jacket. Photo: Total E&P Norway A/S/Norwegian Petroleum Museum
A extensive rescue operation was initiated, with a series of attempts to salvage the wrecked structure. Two days after the accident, the ETPM 1601 crane ship lifted the jacket a couple of metres off the seabed, but bad weather put a halt to the operation.
Steadily worsening conditions meant that all further work had to be postponed until the spring of 1975. The next lifting attempt involved attaching 30 large plastic spheres to the wreck so that their buoyancy would provide the necessary lift while ETPM 1601 moved the structure to the right position. Testing of the spheres revealed material weaknesses, however, and the project was abandoned.
The jacket was again raised a little from the seabed in July 1975 and moved closer to its original site, but it eventually became clear that the structure had suffered additional damage from the winter storms and could not be rescued. It was abandoned in a depth of 107 metres, with only a metre showing above the surface.
Elf now needed a new platform support. Total had a concrete gravity base structure (GBS) under construction at Åndalsnes, which was intended for manifold platform 1 (MP1). This unit was converted for drilling and replaced the lost DP1 jacket. It was renamed the concrete drilling platform 1 (CDP1). Total had to build a replacement GBS.
No space was available in the dry docks in Stavanger, Åndalsnes, Stord or Scotland. However, Sweden's Skånska Cementgjuteriet (later Skanska) had space in a new dock outside Strömstad. So the GBS for the manifold compression platform (MCP-01), intended to maintain transport pressure in the Frigg gas on its way to St Fergus, was built there.

The loss of the DP1 jacket hit the financial estimates for the Frigg development, with both budget and timetable overruns. The price tag for the project rose from NOK 1.3 billion to about NOK 5 billion from the spring of 1972 to the summer of 1974.
This accident also resulted in heavy pressure from the owners, financial institutions, the BGC and the insurance companies. Elf had to take action, and a restructuring of the development organisation for the field was instituted. The operator wanted better control of the project, and not least of the contractors. Jean Curutchet was put in charge.

16. јануара 2008. године, -{MySQL AB}- је објавио да је -{Sun Microsystems}- откупио -{MySQL}- за око милијарду америчких долара.
Очекује се крај откупа у трећој или четвртој четвртини фискалне године, која завршава 30. јуна 2008.

Историја
Слиједи кратак преглед развоја пројекта:
 -{MySQL}- је први пут објављен 23. маја, 1995
 Верзија за Windows је објављена 8. јануара, 1998. за Windows 95 и Windows NT
 Верзија 3.23: бета верзија у јуну 2000, завршна верзија у јануару 2001
 Верзија 4.0: бета верзија у августу 2002, завршна верзија у марту 2003 (додате уније)
 Верзија 4.1: бета верзија у јуну 2004, завршна верзија у октобру 2004 (додата р-дрвета, под-упити и припрема упита унапријед)
 Верзија 5.0: бета верзија у марту 2005, завршна верзија у октобру 2005 (додати курсори, процедуре, тригери, прегледи, XA трансакције)
 Верзија 5.1: тренутно у припреми завршне верзије (од новембра 2005) (додају се партиције, интерфејс за плаг-ине, репликације на нивоу појединачних записа, табеле са логовима сервера и извршавање унапријед заказаних догађаја)
 -{Sun Microsystems}- откупљује -{MySQL}- 16. јануара 2008.

Програмски језици
Библиотеке за приступ бази података -{MySQL}- постоје за већину програмских језика, чији облик зависи од датог програмског језика. Додатно, постоји -{ODBC}- интерфејс по називу -{MyODBC}- који дозвољава приступ бази података за оне програмске језике који подржавају -{ODBC}- интерфејс, као што су -{ASP}- и -{ColdFusion}-. -{MySQL}- сервер и званично подржане библиотеке су углавном писани у програмским језицима C и C++.

Употреба
Процјењује се да постоји око десет милиона инсталација -{MySQL-а}-.

-{MySQL}- је популаран у развоју веб апликација, нарочито у комбинацији "ЛАМП" (Линукс-Апач-MySQL-PHP/Перл/Питон. Његова популарност се веже за популарност -{PHP-а}-, који се обично комбинује са -{MySQL}--ом. Википедија користи -{MediaWiki}- софтвер, који такође користи -{PHP}- и -{MySQL}-.

Лиценца
Фирма -{MySQL AB}-, смјештена у Шведској, је јединствени власник и спонзор пројекта, и држи највећу већину права над кодом. -{MySQL}- AB пружа -{MySQL}- као софтвер отвореног кода / слободан софтвер под ГНУ-овом Општом јавном лиценцом (ГНУ-ова ОЈЛ), али га пружа и под традиционалним комерцијалним условима лиценцирања за случајеве где је употреба из неког разлога неспојива са ГНУ-овом -{ОЈЛ}-.

Фирма такође развија и одржава систем, а зарађује преко наплаћивања техничке подршке, сервиса, као и продаје лиценци за комерцијалну употребу програма. Фирма запошљава бројне раднике широм свијета са којима комуницира путем Интернета. Фирму -{MySQL AB}- су основали Дејвид Аксмарк, Алан Ларсон и Мајкл (Монти) Вајдениус. Извршни директор је Мартен Микос.

Проблеми
Један од проблема који се десио је проблем лиценце -{MySQL-а}- која је била некомпатибилна са лиценцом -{PHP-а}-. Проблем је касније разријешен тако што је фирма -{MySQL AB}- додала изузетак у своју лиценцну документацију, експлицитно допуштајући укључивање -{MySQL-а}- у пројекте који су објављени под лиценцама отвореног кода које су компатибилне са OSI стандардом.

Администрација
За администрацију базе података -{MySQL}-, администратори користе или интерфејс у облику командне линије, или графички интерфејс "-{MySQL}- администратор" и друге.

Поред алата које производи фирма -{MySQL AB}-, постоји и неколико комерцијалних и некомерцијалних алата приступачних на тржишту. Алат -{PhpMyAdmin}- је слободан софтвер чији је интерфејс у облику веб странице а који је написан у програмском језику -{PHP}-.

Критике
Раним верзијама -{MySQL}--а су недостајале многе особине које су прописане стандардом за релационе базе података, обично због жеље да систем буде брз и ефикасан. Многе, али не и све, такве особине су касније додате, укључујући трансакције и затезнике за релациони интегритет, што је неопходно да база остане у правилном облику и спријечи клијенте базе да тај облик покваре.

У документацијама неких ранијих верзија су чак постојале тврдње да такве особине нису ни потребне, него чак штетне. Једна таква тврдња се појављивала у секцији под насловом "разлози зашто НЕ користити удаљене кључеве", и објашњавала је да је релациони интегритет компликован за имплементацију и да му је једина сврха за скицирање архитектуре базе података.

Још неке критике обухватају начин на који -{MySQL}- третира поља вриједности -{NULL}- и поља подразумијеваних вриједности, који се одваја од стандарда -{SQL-а}-. Начин на који рукује датумима дозвољава уписивање датума са бројем дана који превазилази број дана у датом мјесецу, а аритметичке операције су рањиве на превелике цјелобројне вриједности и реални бројеви имају проблема са одсијецањем децималног дијела. Од верзије 5, начин на који сервер третира неисправне вриједности зависи од режима рада сервера, који је подразумијевано подешен тако да необично много толерише исте, што критичари жестоко замјерају

Када је објављена верзија 5.0 -{MySQL}--а, Дејвид Аксмарк, кооснивач -{MySQL AB-а}-, је рекао да је "-{MySQL}- од првог дана критикован што нема процедуре, тригере и прегледе" и да "сада поправљају све те проблеме у једној верзији" MySQL 5.0 је објављен 24. октобра 2005, након неколико милиона скинутих примјерака са Интернета у фази бета верзије 5.0.

Подржане платформе
-{MySQL}- ради на многим оперативним системима, укључујући оперативни систем -{AIX, BSD, FreeBSD, HP-UX, Линукс, Mac OS X, NetBSD, Novell NetWare, OpenBSD, OS/2, QNX, IRIX}-, Соларис,-{SunOS, SCO OpenServer, SCO UnixWare, Tru64}-, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows МЕ, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP и Windows Vista. Могуће је пренијети верзију -{MySQL-а}- и на OpenVMS

Занимљивости
 Симбол делфина у логоу MySQL-а је добио име "Сакила", у октобру 2002. године, након тендера за име
 MySQL је у почетку развијан на оперативном систему Соларис
 Комплетна листа аутора пројекта се може добити куцајући команду SHOW AUTHORS на командној линији. Ова могућност је додата у верзији 5.1.

Изговор
"-{MySQL}-" се званично изговара као "мај-ес-кју-ел", а не "мај сиквл".

Дио назива "My" долази од имена кћерке кооснивача Вајдениуса, који се на шведском језику изговара mü (латично 'м' након којег слиједи самоглавник који звучи као прелаз између 'у' и 'и'). Међутим, програмери фирме ни сами нису сигурни да ли је ово тачно или "My" једноставно значи "Мој".

Risk of Injury in Moral Dilemmas With Autonomous Vehicles (bibtex)
by de Melo, Celso M., Marsella, Stacy and Gratch, Jonathan
As autonomous machines, such as automated vehicles (AVs) and robots, become pervasive in society, they will inevitably face moral dilemmas where they must make decisions that risk injuring humans. However, prior research has framed these dilemmas in starkly simple terms, i.e., framing decisions as life and death and neglecting the influence of risk of injury to the involved parties on the outcome. Here, we focus on this gap and present experimental work that systematically studies the effect of risk of injury on the decisions people make in these dilemmas. In four experiments, participants were asked to program their AVs to either save five pedestrians, which we refer to as the utilitarian choice, or save the driver, which we refer to as the nonutilitarian choice. The results indicate that most participants made the utilitarian choice but that this choice was moderated in important ways by perceived risk to the driver and risk to the pedestrians. As a second contribution, we demonstrate the value of formulating AV moral dilemmas in a game-theoretic framework that considers the possible influence of others' behavior. In the fourth experiment, we show that participants were more (less) likely to make the utilitarian choice, the more utilitarian (nonutilitarian) other drivers behaved; furthermore, unlike the game-theoretic prediction that decision-makers inevitably converge to nonutilitarianism, we found significant evidence of utilitarianism. We discuss theoretical implications for our understanding of human decision-making in moral dilemmas and practical guidelines for the design of autonomous machines that solve these dilemmas while, at the same time, being likely to be adopted in practice.

India-China joint exercise on counter-terrorism from Dec 7
Article Posted on : - Dec 03, 2019
KOLKATA (PTI): The eighth India-China joint training exercise - 'Hand-in-Hand 2019' - would commence from December 7 at Umroi in Meghalaya, a defence official said.
The two-week-long exercise is scheduled to focus on joint planning and counter-terrorist operations on semi-urban terrain, the official said here on Monday.
A Chinese contingent from the Tibet Military command, comprising 130 personnel, and a Indian contingent of similar strength will participate in the exercise, which has counter- terrorism as theme as per the United Nations mandate.
The exercise is planned at the company level with respective battalion headquarters controlling the training.
Two tactical exercises scheduled during the training are - counter-terrorism scenario and humanitarian and disaster relief operations - the defence official said.
The mandate of the Counter-Terrorism Implementation Task Force (CTITF), established by the UN Secretary-General in 2005, was to strengthen coordination and coherence of counter-terrorism efforts of the United Nations system, according to the UN Office of counter-terrorism's website.
"The exercise is scheduled to focus on training through lectures and drills associated with counter-terrorist handling and firing with each other's weapons, battle obstacles course and special heliborne operations carried out in counter-terrorist environment," the official added.
