In the military sciences, the term military campaign applies to large scale, long duration, significant military strategy plan incorporating a series of inter-related military operations or battles forming a distinct part of a larger conflict often called a war. The term derives from the plain of Campania, a place of annual wartime operations by the armies of the Roman Republic.
1.A military campaign denotes the time during which a given military force conducts combat operations in a given area (often referred to as AO, area of operation). A military campaign may be executed by either a single Armed Service, or as a combined services campaign conducted by land, naval, air, cyber and space forces.
2.The purpose of a military campaign is to achieve a particular desired resolution of a military conflict as its strategic goal. This is constrained by resources, geography and/or season. A campaign is measured relative to the technology used by the belligerents to achieve goals, and while in the pre-industrial Europe was understood to be that between the planting (late spring) and harvest times (late autumn), it has been shortened during the post-industrial period to a few weeks. However, due to the nature of campaign goals, usually campaigns last several months, or even a year as defined by Trevor N. Dupuy.

Campaign is a strategy war game developed and pusblished by Empire Interactive. It was released in 1992 for DOS and in 1993 for the Amiga and Atari ST.
The game is set in World War II. The player may play out scenarios like the Battle of the Bulge and D-Day. Apart from the strategic map, a battle mode will be opened if two hostile forces venture too near each other.
The military units are rendered well in this game, and it includes a 170-page-long equipment manual which also serves as the Game's copy protection. It also includes a map editor to create scenarios or modify parts of the game.
It was followed by a sequel, Campaign II.
Computer Gaming World said of Campaign, "the finished product leaves much to be desired". Criticisms included the difficulty of organizing concentrated attacks, the unrealistically high frequency of night combat, the inability to retreat, and the absence of a way to exit the game or even use Ctrl-Alt-Delete. A 1993 survey in the magazine of wargames gave the game two-plus stars out of five, stating that "it is adequate on the [strategic] level and almost an arcade rendition of the [tactical]".

The fishing has been great! An the weather can't get better today. The water has been going off atleast every other day, so there are plenty of chances for good wading. The average fish right now is been very respectable in size…most fish have been right at 17″. Although there haven't been very many browns this time of year. We have had the chance to catch quite a few fish on cracklebacks, soft hackles, and sculpins to switch up the pace a little bit. Otherwise the tried an true egg pattern, san juan worm, scuds, and wd-40s have definately getting great reports from a lot of people, and the recommended way to fish them is tying them with a scud/wd-40 dropper. If you get the chance stop by the shop before you next fishing trip an we can show you the up to date report….Good luck everyone, and have a happy new year!

Searching for your very first home can be incredibly daunting, especially if you don't know what to look for or whom to talk to. Worse yet, failing to learn about the basics of buying a home could leave you with a regretful purchase that requires ample work in the form of costly renovations. If you are like many first-time homebuyers, then you are probably overwhelmed by the thought of searching for your first home on your own. That's why, in today's article, we will be outlining some of the many different things worth considering when purchasing your first home so that you can be confident in your decision when it comes time to sign your real estate contract.
Homes & Loans is California's top real estate agency with more than 30 years of continued success in buying and selling homes in Los Angeles, as well as the surrounding areas of the San Fernando Valley. With a number of properties to choose from on our online property database, we offer the most to our clients in terms of location, amenities, and value. From first-time buyers programs and FHA loans to reverse mortgages and jumbo loans, we continue to remain as one of the top resources for buying and selling a home in Los Angeles. Consider learning more about some of the best tips for first-time homebuyers below!
Before searching for houses for sale in the San Fernando Valley, first consider whether the housing market currently favors buyers or sellers. In a buyer's market, you will have more room to negotiate on a home's asking price, due to the fact that there are not as many people that are looking to buy a home as there are people that are selling their homes. Alternatively, in a seller's market, you may not have as much room to negotiate on the final asking price, as there are more buyers that are competing against each other for the same property. This is simple economics, as the housing market tends to follow the rise and fall of the United States' current economy. For this reason, it is always a good idea to evaluate what kind of market you are searching in, so that you don't start your home-buying search with unrealistic expectations.
Your credit score is essential to being approved for a home loan, which will ultimately determine whether you are able to purchase a home or not. This is one of the reasons why it is imperative that you keep a close eye on your credit score when you are considering buying a home, so that you know exactly what kind of interest rate you can secure. Fortunately, if you have a credit score of 670 or higher, there is a good chance that you will be approved for a home loan. Like we mentioned above, however, the better your credit score, the better the likelihood of securing an interest rate in your favor. Failing to apply while maintaining a decent credit score will most likely lead to you having to make costly monthly payments.
An endless list of amenities can be truly intriguing for first-time homebuyers, especially if you aren't taking the home's price tag into consideration. However, it is important to keep in mind that one of the biggest mistakes that first-time homebuyers make is purchasing a home that they simply can't afford. While it may be nice to live in a lavish home, unrealistic monthly payments on your home often mean that you don't have the finances to afford other things in life. Worse yet, if something needed to be repaired or replaced in your home, you may find it incredibly difficult to do so if you don't plan financially for the future. Instead of maxing out your budget on your first home, consider setting reasonable expectations that will leave you with an ample degree of flexibility if something were to happen.
If you have found your first dream home and you are ready to purchase a home in Los Angeles, then you will need to make a sufficient down payment in order to secure a reasonable loan. In current times, it is not unreasonable for individuals to make a down payment that is equivalent to 20 percent of the total cost of the home in question. In fact, many banks require that you make a 20-percent down payment in order for them to provide you with a home loan. Those that make a 20-percent down payment will tend to receive the lowest interest rate possible, while those that don't will be required to pay higher interest rates. For this reason, it makes even more sense to live within your means when it comes time to purchase your first home.
If you are thinking about buying a house in Los Angeles or the surrounding areas of the San Fernando Valley, then consider getting in touch with the real estate experts today at Homes & Loans. With more than 30 years of collective experience, we know that you will be pleased with all of the experience and knowledge that we have to offer you.

Say hello to your new favorite holiday cookie: chocolate peppermint crinkle cookies! So rich, so decadent, and so dreamy, these snowy cookies remind me of a winter wonderland.
Crackled tops give way to soft and fudgy centers, flecked with crushed peppermint candy canes that melt ever so slightly into the dough while baking. Finished with a generous roll in powdered sugar (because the more, the merrier!), these crinkle cookies are Christmas bliss!
Rolling the cookie dough in granulated sugar before coating in powdered sugar helps the cookies crackle as they bake, and keeps the powdered sugar coating in place, for perfect crinkles with every batch!
Preheat oven to 325°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Place chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 30 seconds. Remove and stir. Continue microwaving and stirring in 15 second intervals until melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and peppermint extract in a large bowl until combined; add cooled chocolate mixture and whisk until smooth. Fold in flour mixture just until incorporated, then fold in crushed candy canes. Let dough stand at room temperature for 10 minutes.
Place granulated sugar and powdered sugar in separate shallow bowls. Scoop 1 1/2-inch balls of dough and roll in granulated sugar to coat, then coat generously in powdered sugar. Place two inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
Bake, rotating pans halfway through, for 14 minutes, until puffed and cracked, with edges set. Let cookies cool for 15 minutes on baking sheets, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
Well, aren't these just putting me in the Christmas spirit Laura!! They are absolutely gorgeous! And I can bet they taste just as delicious! And WOW, your photos are just spectacular!
These are some scrumptious, beautiful cookies! I love your photography too – these are styled so beautifully. I wish I could grab one off the screen!
crinkles are the best! These look delish!
Whoa, you've just pushed chocolate crinkles up a notch or two! So festive and delicious!!!
I am such a sucker for the chocolate/peppermint combo – it's one of my favs! And I'm always looking for new festive Christmas cookie inspriation!
Christmas bliss, indeed, Laura! Such exquisite styling and photography as always. We have been on the same page with what we are baking in cookies this holiday season, LOL! I, too, have a chocolate cookie post coming up soon as well as a few others. Cannot wait to try this scrumptious recipe!
Ahhh the fudgy-ness of these, Laura! I'm in LOVE.
These sound like Christmas heaven to me! There's nothing like the combination of chocolate and peppermint. Your description has me wanting to run to the kitchen and preheat the oven!
These are so perfect for Christmas Laura! I bought some candy canes today too so I may need to make a batch.
Needless to say, I think I'll be making these for him and I to share.
These are SO stunning and festive! I would not be able to resist these!

Q: how to handle fileupload into a table in play framework? i have a table called system it has some columns mainly number / char types but there is one binary type for holding a document (word or excel etc)
ignore for now if we should hold the file inline or external i.e. bfile or blob... the question is more about how to handle it in the play framework
I have got the form working with the model view and controller... but i set it up without the file-field just to get it working:
I have a case class in the model
case class System(sys_id: Pk[Long] = NotAssigned
  , sys_name: String
  , sys_desc: String
  , sys_owner1: Long
  , sys_owner2: Long)

a form in the controller
val systemForm = Form(
    mapping(
      "sys_id" -> ignored(NotAssigned:Pk[Long]),
      "sys_name" -> nonEmptyText,
      "sys_desc" -> nonEmptyText,
      "sys_owner1" -> longNumber,
      "sys_owner2" -> longNumber
    )(System.apply)(System.unapply)
  )

and a form in the view
@form(routes.Systems.save(), 'class -> "form-horizontal") {
            @inputText(systemForm("sys_name"), '_label -> "System Name")
            @inputText(systemForm("sys_desc"), '_label -> "Description")
            @select(
                systemForm("sys_owner1"),
                persons,
                '_label -> "Primary Owner", '_default -> "-- Choose a person --",
                '_showConstraints -> false
            )
            @select(
                systemForm("sys_owner2"),
                persons,
                '_label -> "Secondary Owner", '_default -> "-- Choose a person --",
                '_showConstraints -> false
            )

                 <input type="submit" value="Create System" class="btn btn-success"> or
                 Cancel

    }

This all works well... but now i want to add the file in, what should i do?
I have seen this http://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.1.2/ScalaFileUpload
but it confuses me it makes no mention of if or how i should change the case class - and what variable is the file stored in (if it is) so that I can access it in my code?
should I modify my case class (if so what type should i add)?
should I modify the Form in the controller (again if so what type should I add?)
im not bothered whether I store it inline or as a bfile - but how can I handle it as asked above?
Thank you

A: There are some items to consider:

*

*In your .scala.html file, you'll need a file upload field <input type="file" name="someName">.

*You'll need to set the encoding type of the form as stated in the documentation: 'enctype -> "multipart/form-data".

*You can then change your controller to to handle multipart form-data, so it looks like the one in the example. Use Action(parse.multipartFormData) to parse the form. I think you should then also be able to use your form with systemForm.bindFromRequest (from Form API), although I haven't tried that before.
Edit:
What I meant was to treat the uploaded file and the rest of the form data as separate items.
Try changing the example form the documentation to look like this:
def upload = Action(parse.multipartFormData) { request =>
  request.body.file("picture").map { picture =>
    import java.io.File
    val filename = picture.filename
    val contentType = picture.contentType
    picture.ref.moveTo(new File("/tmp/picture"))

    // this is the new part
    val formContents = systemForm.bindFromRequest.value
    // now you can do stuff with `formContents` and `picture`

    Ok("File uploaded")
  }.getOrElse {
    Redirect(routes.Application.index).flashing(
      "error" -> "Missing file"
    )
  }

}

(Bloomberg) -- The yen is rebounding rapidly after tumbling last month to its weakest level in four decades and there could be more turbulence ahead if the currency echoes its behavior from previous tumultuous episodes.
"The potential for a whipsaw correction similar in magnitude to what we saw in 1998/1999, 2002/2004, 2007/2011 or 2016, is clear," wrote Kit Juckes, Societe Generale SA's chief foreign-exchange strategist.
The Japanese currency has taken another leg higher in recent days, fueled in part by the potential fallout from China's deteriorating Covid situation, which is hurting riskier assets. It's reclaimed, to a certain extent, the mantle of go-to haven that had appeared to fade in recent months as investors focused more intently on interest-rate differentials. With Bank of Japan rates firmly anchored near zero and other central banks raising borrowing costs, that dynamic had weighed against the yen. Now there is more talk of where the Federal Reserve -- and others -- might halt rate hikes, which has helped alleviate some of the pressure from dollar strength.
The yen has climbed more than 7% against the greenback in November, outstripping gains for all of its Group-of-10 peers, and is more than 10% above the multi-decade nadir it reached on Oct. 21. It was an outperformer again on Monday, fueled in part by increased social unrest in China in response to the President Xi Jinping's Covid Zero policy. At one point it appreciated 1.2% to 137.50 per dollar, its strongest level in three months, before paring its gain to trade around 138.88 per dollar. It was the only G-10 currency to gain ground againsst the greenback, which surged Monday against the rest of its most traded peers.
The dollar is also historically a major haven currency for investors and has acted that way for much of this year, but it appears to be acting less in that role amid the moves of recent weeks. A large part of that is the softening of inflation concerns and the pullback in market expectations for how high Fed might take the US central bank's benchmark rate, which reduces the yield advantage the greenback offers. Still, apart from the yen, it remained the standout destination for FX traders in Monday trading, with the Australian and Norwegian currencies among the biggest laggards.
Writing in a note to clients on Monday, Societe Generale's Juckes points in particular to the situation from 1998/1999 as being potentially instructive. Back then the dollar-yen pair fell from more than 147 to less than 102 -- a lot further than it has moved so far in this episode -- before it bottomed out and eventually recovered to around 135 in 2002. He also notes that investors from Japan have been "significant sellers" of foreign bonds this quarter, which he describes as "hardly surprising but a positive for the yen on days when geopolitics, energy prices and the BOJ's current policy stance aren't dominating the market."

The Anvar are religious fanatics, which is beyond doubt or contention. They are ferocious in defence of their beliefs and their way of life, and maniacal in their desire to spread the Word of Solar to the other races. Whilst not a warrior race in its strictest sense, their natural physical design and capabilities make them extremely effective shock troops and defenders, their immense strength and resistance allowing them to shrug off wounds that would fell a human or even cause a DragonLord some worry.
Physical Description: Anvar bodies are formed of platinum or other precious metal, with nothing beneath, their limbs seeming to melt and reform as they move, yet they are cold to the touch. Though they can speak and they appear to breathe, Anvar actually have no internal organs that have ever been found. Their eyes glow from within, as if a fire has been lit within their skull, the colours differing with the individual Anvar. They have no use for human food, simply desiring metals for sustenance. Massive beyond even the tallest DragonLord, the Anvar are the tallest of Tal'Vorn's many races, with some of them even topping twelve feet. The average, however, is a somewhat less impressive eight or nine feet in height.
Personality: Anvar live in tribal groups, banding together for protection and to help in gathering the metals that all Anvar need to grow and to survive. They follow a single leader, a chief with the greatest knowledge of the Word of Solar, their religion central to their everyday life. Each Anvar can spend up to fourteen hours a day in prayer, eight in sleep and up to eight of the hours remaining in the long Tal'Vorn day searching for metal. As a Tal'Vorn day is only 34 hours long this is a substantial level of dedication to their God. Whilst fiery and devoted, Anvar can also make for steadfast friends and allies, typically being unafraid of hardship or strife, viewing it all as just another way of proving their worth in the eyes of Solar.
Religion: Solar is known to be a benevolent God, His light allowing life to flourish upon Tal'Vorn, yet His Anvar have often committed atrocities in the name of their faith. How can a truly good God permit this to occur? The answer lies with Solar Himself, the God's own personality, if such a term can be used to describe how a living God thinks and acts. Solar does not involve Himself in the petty squabbles of the other Races, simply seeking out the destruction of the creatures of the Dark One. Solar has been aligned against the Corrupter since before Tal'Vorn was found, the two Gods warring between the stars for generations. It is this opposition, the Light against the Dark that drives the Anvar, the Eaters of Metal simply desiring their deities' victory over the darkness, which will then usher in a time of eternal light and peace for all. If some non-believers have to fall along the road then so be it, the Anvar will accept it as required casualties, deaths for the sake of Solar Himself.
Relations: Anvar often have difficulty getting along well with many of the other Races. However, sometimes their very natures can help them in discovering common ground. DragonLords, Elves and Soulless especially respect the Anvar for their religious devotion. Conflaris, however, in spite of being deeply religious, are in perpetual competition with the Anvar for Tal'Vorn's scarce ferrous metals. As is typical of them, the Fae and Mermen tend to get on well with the Anvar, just like they do everyone. Humans are, as usual, something of a rogue element, with some getting on well with the Anvars outlook, and some steadfastly refusing to accept the religious mania of the Eaters of Metal.
Territory: The Anvar have no real territory of their own, living as they do in tribes. They do, however, have general areas that they roam. Anvar favour wide, open spaces which can accommodate their large frames. Whilst seemingly ponderous, Anvar will travel tirelessly for many leagues in a day, so Anvar Tribes, carrying all of their belongings upon their back, will travel quickly across most terrain. They typically seek out isolated areas of bare stone and rock where they will surface mine for minerals. As such, they are most often found in the great plains of the Eastern Land, to the north and east of Grath City.
Language: Anvar speak a simple language named after themselves, Anvar. The language itself is supposed to have been taught to them by the God Solar Himself, though given the Sun Gods lack of interest in the mortals of Tal'Vorn, this seems unlikely. What is true, however, is that many of the greater fire creatures, such as Elementals, speak the language as well. The Anvar themselves view the language as holy, making all of their prayers in it. Most of them typically know Common as well, in order to facilitate converting others.
Names: Anvar favour simple and straightforward names, typically consisting of one syllable or so. However, because Anvar lack an distinction between the two sexes the names have no gender basis. For example: Al, Cay, En, Ki, Nev, Mer, Sen, Zi.
Blessed be Solar's true light.


In the A.I. Gigapixel V1.1 update (released September 5, 2018), Our research scientist Dr. Acharjee has made substantial improvements on the deep learning models behind the scenes. Those enhancements are reflected as replacing the "Enhancement" checkbox with a multi-level "Reduce Noise and Blur" options.
The difference is very subtle for most photos, for which the default setting ("Moderate") will work well. For the highest quality result, you may want to try different "Reduction Noise and Blur" settings.
"None": This neural network was trained with clean images. If your original photo is a well exposed RAW or is otherwise free of visible artifacts, this option will best preserve and create fine detail. Here is an example of what the input image (top-left corner, 96×96 cropped from a large input image) should look and the enhanced result. Notice the input impage is pretty much free from high iso or other noise.
"Moderate": This default option will suppress a moderate amount of image noise and JPEG compression artifacts and apply some sharpening. This setting is good for most consumer-level standard cameras and phone photos. In the example, you can see the noise in the input image, A.I. Gigapixel does a decent job resizing it to 400% while cleaning up the noise.
"Strong": This option is for noisy, highly compressed, or otherwise artifacted images. This neural network applies the heaviest level of sharpening and noise reduction. Unfortunately, if too much information is missing or obscured by noise, A.I. cannot synthesize details properly (as in the example), and sometimes produce strange structures on details like faces. Alas, A.I. is not quite that magical when it comes to recreating faces yet. Therefore, do not use this setting on clean photos, that don't have much noise.
Since Gigapixel will not overwrite the original images, you can experiment with each setting to your heart's content.
On a separate note, observant users may have noticed that the new update is slower when the image scale is less than 220%. This is true. Dr. Acharjee has made substantial progress on the neural network archtecture for a considerable increase in image quality. According to feedback from the general community, speed takes a backseat to quality results. For scales greater than 220%, different optimizations were implemented that will not result in longer processing times.
Hi, I am a intense user of LR Classic, but A.I. Gigapixel can't use as an external editor, please for un nexte update ad this featcher.
Great idea. We will investigate the feasibility to do it.
Can Topaz AI Gigapixel incorporate Deep Image Prior to reconstruct faces?? also to fix old photos?
Unfortunately no. The training dataset does contain many faces, but not enough to produce good face result if they are small in the original pictures. Also, it does not do a good job on upsizing small text.
(Clean up the typos in the press materials… not professional). Did you fix the bug that produced the wrong size output?
Sorry for the typo! Will have a native English speaker proofread next time. I believe the resize bug is fixed. Please try the latest update.
I've come to understand that some variation of the Lanczos algorithm is the best for upsizing. Does AI Gig incorporate this into it's processing?
Yes. In upsampling, the neural network can only do 200%, 400% etc, Lanczos is then used to resize the output into the designed size. In downsampling, it is progressive Lanczos only. No A.I. is involved.
Would love to use the standalone version at work to enhance older images, but i ran into a big problem: I have two video cards installed: an older GTX 770 for driving the monitors and handling the VRAM needs of the GUI effects (the OS eats up all the VRAM of the card in PCIE slot 1 [GTX 770: ~1 up to 1.5 of the max 2 GB!] – BUT the second, more important one, is a GTX 1080 Ti which is reserved for machine learning purposes. Since the first card handles the UI, the 2nd one has all the 11 GB VRAM as well as an idle GPU core available for testing projects.
But unfortunately i can't choose which video card AI Gigapixel uses! It always selects the one on the first PCIE slot, of course the slower one :-).
Wish you a lot of luck in the future development of AI Gigapixel and congratulate you for being the first company to incorporate an upscaling method that actually produces realistic high frequency details in the the enlarged images! PS, Blowup and other plugins clearly can't compete!
Hope you can give me a heads up if it's possible to implement a GPU selector!
PS: Is there a settings file where you can change the GPU number? Or maybe a terminal cmd argument for the "/Topaz A.I. Gigapixel.app/Contents/MacOS/Topaz A.I. Gigapixel" executable?
Thanks for your suggestion on GPU selector! I have added it into the todo list and we will investigate if it is doable. I will email you directly to follow up.
Is in trial possible to check to reduce noise and blur?
Thanks for your interest in the software. All functions in trail mode are available and free to use.
I'm a sports shooter. Football mainly. I need tack sharp low noise photos. I shoot a lot at 2.8 1/1250 at 12800 iso. What will this product do for those type of photos? Will it fix motion blur and oof shots? I use Lightroom now. And will it batch process. Thanks.
A.I. Clear might be more suitable for your purpose. It will reduce noise and sharpen details. We are releasing an update this week. Please try it when the new update release, I am pretty sure you will find it helpful.

Your initial entries with hits have traveled a total of 5,054,793 miles.
They have averaged 470.9 miles per hit and 194.74 days between each hit.
I got a hit in Gulf County, which brings the number of Florida counties I have up to 60. I'm now missing only seven counties in Florida.
This bill Was waiting two years to be entered. I don't know which is more frustrating: The fact that the guy held on to it for so long or the fact that it was at a local airport, potentially waiting to go out of state.
This one, I can't say I understand. I just thought I'd share.

US tech giant Apple has hired Jonathan Zdziarski, an expert on Apple and iOS security and forensics, for Security Engineering and Architecture.
"I am pleased to announce that I have accepted a position with Apple's Security+ Engineering and Architecture team, and am very excited to be working with a group of like minded individuals so passionate about protecting the security and privacy of others," Zdziarski said in a blog post.
Zdziarski provided technical expertise during Apple's conflict with FBI last year following the San Bernardino shooting when the agency wanted help breaking into a suspect's iPhone.
Zdziarski also made headlines with claims that Apple had a backdoor into iOS, offering commentary and perspective with prominent security stories, and discovering security flaws+ in popular apps, tech website 9to5mac.com reported on Wednesday.
"This decision marks the conclusion of what I feel has been a matter of conscience for me over time. Privacy is sacred; our digital lives can reveal so much about us -- our interests, our deepest thoughts, and even who we love," Zdziarski added.


Following several highly challenging years due to repeated terrorist attacks coupled with a weak economy, the French travel market began mounting a recovery in 2017. Since the election of reformist President Emmanuel Macron, the country has reduced its budget deficit to within European Union (EU) guidelines, while at the same time curtailing unemployment and restoring consumer confidence. Stronger security measures have also allayed concerns about terrorism, and the overall outlook for the travel sector is favorable.
Leisure travel – including inbound, domestic and outbound – is on the rise. International visitors have returned, while French consumers have resumed their traditional pattern of taking a long summer vacation along with multiple shorter trips throughout the year. Business travel, particularly that associated with meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions (MICE) has also recovered, thanks in part to the renewed economic stability. In addition, the government has intensified its efforts to support the tourism sector, announcing ambitious plans to grow international arrivals to over 100 million by 2020. While continued growth remains dependent on the terrorism situation in the country, events such as the 2023 Rugby World Cup and the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris should help cement growth in the medium term.
Still, the outlook is not entirely positive. A series of rolling strikes by France's strong public and private sector unions as well as the recent "Yellow Vest" protests are adversely affecting the attractiveness of France as a destination. And given the importance of the U.K. as a major inbound market, continuing uncertainty over Brexit remains a worry. As a result, the French travel market is projected to grow modestly for the next several years, climbing from €47.9 billion in 2018 to €53.7 billion by 2022.

Q: Comment XML - make it more readable I have an XML file about 1000 lines long that has a lot of internal dependencies. Does anyone know of any tools that would possibly work with comments to help explain what this XML does?

A: Found something utilizing an XML reader and schema provider.


The Little Theatre of Tuscarawas County is holding auditions for the Tony Award winning musical "Company" at 7 p.m. Feb. 17 and 18.
All auditions will be held at the Little Theatre in New Philadelphia. Online registration is available at www.thelittletheatreonline.org. Call backs will be scheduled for Feb. 19 and 20. "Company" will run from May 3 through May 19 for nine performances.
Irven most recently directed "Love, Loss, and What I Wore," and "It's a Wonderful Life" for Black Box Ensemble Theatre at the Tuscarawas County Center for the Arts. He has also directed "The Man Who Came to Dinner" and "The Crucible" at the Little Theatre.
Written by Stephen Sondheim and winner of seven Tony Awards, "Company" is a witty, sophisticated and deeply honest look at contemporary relationships. Considered by many to have inaugurated the modern era of musical theatre in the 1970s, "Company" is considered a true masterpiece by one of the finest composers of our time.

The Correlated Color Temperature CCT (Measured in Kelvin degrees) or color temperature is a scientific scale that describes how "warm" or "cold" a light source is. The scale is based on the color of light emitted by conventional incandescent light bulbs.
When we heat a piece of metal (theoretically a black body which completely absorbs the light) it changes its color from red to orange then yellow, white, to blue and white. The color of light emitted by the incandescent object depends only on temperature. This dependence was used in determining the color of light as the light color temperature.
When we say that the lamp has a color temperature of 3000K, this means that a glowing metal at 3000 K would produce light of the same color as the lamp. If the metal was heated to a temperature of 4100 K, it would generate much brighter white color of light. Direct sunlight corresponds to about 5300K. On a clear day it is mixed with the color blue from the color of the sky and corresponds to 6000K or above.
In a typical incandescent light bulb, the filament during lighting has a temperature of 2700 K and therefore color temperature of 2700K.

Mitchell International
Careers at Mitchell International
Mitchell International's mission is to simplify and accelerate the claims management and collision repair processes.
Founding story
Glenn Mitchell was the Parts Manager of a car dealership in post-World War II San Diego. He loved to make lists, and he created comprehensive lists of auto parts numbers, descriptions, and prices to assist his parts counterman in researching parts for body shops. The reports became known for their specificity and he became known for the extensiveness of his documentation.
As word of his efforts spread, he began getting contacted by other car dealers, body shop workers, and insurance adjusters seeking his resource. Because of this interest, he realized he had a valuable asset in hand. So in 1946 he founded Mitchell International out of his garage. Its purpose would be to make his lists available on a commercial basis.
Specifically, Mitchell created a parts catalog for collision repair estimating. It could be used by accident victims to inform their insurance companies on how much a substitute part would cost and how long the repair would take. Over time, the firm expanded information provided to include auto physical damage claims, workers' compensation, auto casualty, and pharmacy claims handling.
Mitchell International was a great success, making it attractive to buyers. In 2000 it was acquired by private equity company Hellman & Friedman. In 2007 it was purchased by Aurora Capital Group for $500 million. In 2013 it was bought again by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts for $1 billion. It is now the largest provider of collision repair information in North America.
Business model of Mitchell International
Mitchell International has a niche market business model, with a specialized customer segment. The company targets its offerings at firms in the auto physical damage and casualty claims markets.
Mitchell International offers five primary value propositions: accessibility, convenience, innovation, performance, and brand/status.
The company creates accessibility by providing a wide variety of options. It has acquired several firms since its founding, including Cogent Works (a provider of pharmacy network management services), FAIRPAY Solutions (a provider of workers' compensation, liability, and billing review services), and, National Health Quest (a provider of out-of-network medical payment negotiations and services). This strategy has enabled it to significantly expand its capabilities and diversify its portfolio.
The company offers convenience by making life simpler for customers. Its solutions automate each step of the collision repair and claims handling process, resulting in less work for clients.
The company places a strong emphasis on innovation. It operates Mitchell Innovation & Design (also known as Mitchell Labs), an initiative focused on driving innovation throughout the firm. The program utilizes the Mitchell Innovation Framework, a process that enables its team of data scientists, designers, developers, and product managers to examine problems in a structured manner. Mitchell also with customers to identify cutting-edge solutions through on-site observation, onside/field customer observations, iterative/prototype testing, and Customer Advisory Councils.
The company demonstrates strong performance through tangible results. Specific positive outcomes for clients include the following:
Precision Body Shop & Detail used Mitchell International's solutions to increase its efficiency, shorten cycle times, and improve productivity by 25%
Watsonville Auto Body used Mitchell International's solutions to reduce its labor force while still repairing the same number of vehicles, resulting in the saving of 160 hours per month
Fix Auto used Mitchell International's solutions to eliminate almost 90% of its paperwork, enabling it to consolidate its operations into a single centralized platform
A North American insurer used Mitchell International's solutions to ensure the correct parts were used in each estimate, resulting in a 22% reduction in gross estimate dollars
The company has established a strong brand due to its success. It bills itself as the leading provider of property & casualty claims technology solutions in North America, with the broadest range of solutions. Each year it processes more than 50 million transactions and its technology team completes over 100 integrations with client systems.
It serves over 300 claims payers and over 30,000 repair centers, with clients including Enterprise, EMC Insurance Companies, and American Insurance Company. Its customers include most of the top 25 insurance payers. Lastly, it has over 2,000 employees operating out of offices in the Americas, Europe, and Asia.
Mitchell International's main channel is its direct sales team. The company promotes its offerings through its website, social media pages, seminars, workshops, forums, trade shows, and conferences.
Mitchell International's customer relationship is primarily of a self-service, automated nature. Customers utilize its products while having limited interaction with employees. The company's website features a "Media Center" with useful resources such as white papers, case studies, webinars, and videos. The site also features a "Thought leadership" section that includes industry trend reports and expert blogs.
Despite this orientation, there is a personal assistance component. The company provides customer service through phone/e-mail/online support, remote support, and field services. It also provides training on the use of its software through a program called MitchellU. Mitchell International also has a co-creation component in that it works closely with clients to discover new innovations.
Mitchell International's business model entails designing and developing its products for customers.
Mitchell International's key partnerships are with the technology firms it works with to provide infrastructure for its software products and solutions. These partners include Oracle, Microsoft, Tableau, and Red Hat.
It also maintains strategic partnerships with various insurance, technology, and auto companies and organizations such as Procura, Harley-Davidson, Tractable, and Guidewire.

It maintains important physical resources in the form of data centers it operates in the United States, Canada, and Europe.
Cost Structure
Mitchell International has a cost-driven structure, aiming to minimize expenses through significant automation. Its biggest cost driver is likely sales/marketing, a fixed cost.
Other major drivers are in the areas of customer support/operations and administration, both fixed costs.
Revenue Streams
Mitchell International has one revenue stream: revenues it generates from the sale of its software products to customers.

Granite and Marble Slabs When it comes to using granite or marble slabs in the home, there are endless possibilities. Granite, including marble, has more range of colors and patterns than any other slab product making it easy to find the perfect fit for any style. Natural stone has the uncanny ability to span different styles effortlessly with the variety of color combinations and vein movement. Different granite colors have the ability to strengthen the design of the space, for instance a small speckled pattern in earth tones like Santa Cecilia has a western flare, whereas a large vein striations in green and gray like Amazonia has a hint of tropical or coastal feel. Regardless of the color, granite has proven to be such a durable and long lasting material that it has become increasingly popular to use the stone in unconventional ways. However, there are five main uses that far exceed any out-of-the-box applications when it comes to practicality and reliability.
One. Kitchen Countertop Still at number one, granite kitchen countertops still top the charts in popularity. Granite slab countertops not only look great in the kitchen, but their ability to wear well, clean easily, and maintain their value surpasses other countertop options on the market today.
Two. Bathroom Vanity Either in small bathrooms with a single cabinet or large master with double vanities and dressing areas, granite and marble countertops are the most popular choices, and with good reason. The wide variety of pattern makes it possible to choose a stone for the bathrooms that feel more intimate and personal. Marble is the most popular choice in bathrooms for this reason. With a thinner thickness, simple edge profile, and smooth vein pattern the bathroom takes on a whole new sophistication with this natural stone element.
Three. Shower Surround Shower surrounds are a constant challenge with the large amounts of water that can lead to potential leaks or mold and mildew problems. The smart solution for shower walls is solid stone slabs since they are naturally water resistant and simple to clean. This not only eliminates grout joints, which pose the major weakness in a shower, but keeps the shower easier to protect against soap scum and residue. Granite and marble slabs, with the stunning colors and movement, also add great interest to an otherwise boring bathroom. In master bathrooms where the tub is separate from the shower, the granite or marble can be easily extended around the tub and on the tub deck. Coordinating the surfaces with complimentary or matching colors is simple with such a wide variety of color options.
Four. Table Top For a truly custom and valuable piece of furniture, granite or marble table tops add interest and practicality. The top can be replaced on nearly any type of table, desk, buffet, or console. An expected piece of furniture to have a granite or marble top is a dining table, but using an unexpected color or choosing an unexpected base it a savvy way to achieve a fresh look. It is common to find marble tops on buffets and other serving pieces, but for the same reasons, a stone surface for a desk wears far better than wood and is more durable than glass.
Five. Outdoor Kitchen Granite countertops are so durable and easy to clean that they make the perfect solution for outdoor kitchens. Both covered and uncovered granite countertops wear well outdoors since the material is a natural stone that resists the natural elements. Even if granite countertops are left unattended for long periods of time outdoors, they can be easily restored to original condition. A little deep cleaning and periodic sealing protects the stone against water spots and dirt. If metal is left on the granite and rusts the surface, there are special natural stone products designed to remove stains. Outdoor granite countertops makes having an outdoor living space and kitchen area carefree and much more enjoyable.

AT&T officials outline current IoT capabilities over FirstNet, future considerations for LTE-M
Written by Donny Jackson
FirstNet currently does not support the use of low-power, wide-area (LPWA) protocols like LTE-M, but the nationwide public-safety broadband network can be leveraged for low-bandwidth Internet of Things (IoT) use cases with quality of service, priority and preemption (QPP) on LTE, according to AT&T officials.
David Allen, director of IoT advanced product development for AT&T—the nationwide contractor charged with building and maintaining FirstNet—said that devices using LPWA technologies like LTE-M and NB-IoT can have very long battery life by transmitting small amounts of data and then entering extended "sleep" cycles. In addition, these devices can transmit data repeatedly until the message is received, which effectively result in extended coverage.
FirstNet currently does not support LTE-M—a technology that also has been referenced as CAT-M, CAT-M1—but AT&T is in the process of evaluating the LPWA technology to determine if they would be suitable for use over the FirstNet system, Allen said.
"The FirstNet network does not support LTE-M today," Allen said during an interview with IWCE's Urgent Communications. "I tend to agree … that it probably would be helpful to have support for LTE-M, … [but] we don't like to make any types of assumptions that it would be supported.
"We are currently testing and evaluating the unique capabilities of LTE-M. We want to make sure that these unique capabilities of these LPWA technologies … are interoperable with the unique capabilities of FirstNet, like uplift, priority and preemption."
FirstNet initially was proposed as a network that would support operations only on the 20 MHz of 700 MHz Band 14 spectrum that is licensed to the FirstNet Authority, but AT&T decided to provide FirstNet subscribers with (QPP) across all of its existing LTE spectrum bands. LPWA technologies operate within these LTE bands.
"They operate within a mobile operator's existing wireless spectrum, but they are a separate and unique channel within our spectrum," Allen said. "So, we will have a separate LTE-M carrier channel that's out there, and we'll have a separate carrier channel for narrowband IoT, as well."
NB-IoT requires a channel size of 200 kHz—"very, very tiny by LTE standards; it's about the size of an existing GSM channel," Allen said. Still, the NB-IoT channel size is much larger than the 12.5 kHz or 25 kHz channel sizes utilized in land-mobile-radio (LMR) technologies that also bear the "narrowband" moniker.
In contrast, LTE-M operates on a channel width of 1.4 MHz, which is much smaller than the typical 5 MHz to 10 MHz of contiguous spectrum used by a typical LTE system, Allen said. LTE-M also can support some voice communications, according to industry sources.
A potential key advantage of LTE-M technology is cost. Based on publicly released figures, the lowest price for an LTE module is about $15, while the LTE-M modules offered by AT&T were almost 50% less—and the prices could drop rapidly as the IoT sector gains traction in the marketplace, Allen said.
Matt Walsh, AT&T's director of IoT business development for smart cities/FirstNet/drones/utilities, acknowledged the potential for LTE-M technology operating with FirstNet QPP but noted that public-safety IoT use cases are already are being developed over traditional LTE connections.
"We see a great opportunity, even with LTE, in the lower-bandwidth use cases, for FirstNet use cases," Walsh said during an interview with IWCE's Urgent Communications. "The inability to deploy on LTE-M today does not mean that those low-bandwidth use cases aren't available to FirstNet customers, because we're finding ways to do that today with LTE."
Even though these IoT use cases involve using a full-fledged LTE connection, the cost to link to a low-bandwidth IoT device is markedly different than the costs associated with smartphone or video-camera use, Walsh said.
"We're pricing things specific to the amount of data they would consume," he said. "So, they're not signing up for what you see as a consumer rate plan. We have services and the flexibility in our billing to size rate plans specific to their use case."
Both LTE-M and NB-IoT are designed for use on licensed broadband spectrum, which typically is controlled by a carrier like AT&T. Other technologies like LoRa and SigFox also serve the IoT space, but they are designed to operate on unlicensed spectrum.
Allen said that some enterprises may consider IoT solutions on unlicensed spectrum. However, unlicensed spectrum typically is subject to greater security risks and uncontrolled RF noise, making it impossible to offer service-level commitments, he said.
Walsh said that private unlicensed networks also can create an operational burden on the enterprise that does not exist with a carrier solution, particularly one involving FirstNet.
"Cities that have those networks deployed, in a sense, become a carrier themselves, so they then have that [responsibility for] management of the network," Walsh said. "When that's really important is when that network goes down. Think about a natural disaster and all of the speed and timeliness that AT&T and FirstNet have demonstrated as we go to get our networks back up, so they can operate.
"They [cities with private unlicensed networks] would then have that responsibility to re-establish those networks, and they probably won't have anywhere near the resources that we apply to this space to get these folks back up and running."
