![]() Mahan prepared a secret contingency plan of 1890 in case war should break out between Britain and the United States. Fourth, his recognition of the influence of geography on strategy was tempered by a strong appreciation of the power of contingency to affect outcomes. #Alfred thayer mahan freeThird, his economic ideal was free trade rather than autarchy. Second, his unit of political analysis insofar as sea power was concerned was a transnational consortium rather than the single nation-state. Sumida (2000) argues Mahan believed that good political and naval leadership was no less important than geography when it came to the development of sea power. Mahan argued that radical technological change does not eliminate uncertainty from the conduct of war, and therefore a rigorous study of history should be the basis of naval officer education. Navy was building long-range submarines to raid Japanese shipping, but the Japanese, still tied to Mahan, designed their submarines as ancillaries to the fleet and failed to attack American supply lines in the Pacific in World War II. His theories-written before the submarine became a factor in warfare against shipping-delayed the introduction of convoys as a defense against German U-Boats in World War I. Mahan contended that with command of the sea, even if local and temporary, naval operations in support of land forces can be of decisive importance and that naval supremacy can be exercised by a transnational consortium acting in defense of a multinational system of free trade. This called for concentration of naval forces composed of capital ships, not unduly large but numerous, well manned with crews thoroughly trained, and operating under the principle that the best defense is an aggressive offense. This control of the sea could not be achieved by destruction of commerce but only by destroying or neutralizing the enemy fleet. This not only permitted the maintenance of sea communications for one's own ships while denying their use to the enemy but also, if necessary, provided the means for close supervision of neutral trade. The primary mission of a navy was to secure the command of the sea. His theoretical framework came from Jomini, with an emphasis on strategic locations (such as chokepoints, canals, and coaling stations), as well as quantifiable levels of fighting power in a fleet. His goal was to discover the laws of history that determined who controlled the seas. Mahan believed that national greatness was inextricably associated with the sea, with its commercial usage in peace and its control in war. Mahan used history as a stock of lessons to be learned-or more exactly, as a pool of examples that exemplified his theories. ![]()

The flight over the Atlantic Ocean will take just more than six hours. And if one does start to fret, "we'll have a groom stand with them and talk," Dutta says. His staff will use what Dutta calls "mood lighting" - dimming the lights to keep the horses serene. They'll also get Gatorade, to help them stay hydrated, Dutta says, "and of course, carrots." As for an inflight beverage and snack service, the horses will get hay, along with apple juice mixed with water. That gives them more space, he says - the pallets can accommodate as many as three horses. "All of the horses that will be going to the Games will be flying two in a pallet, meaning they'll be sharing the container with another horse." "The horses are flown in jet stalls, which are proprietary stalls," Dutta says. And the equine athletes will be in custom-built stalls. #ANIMAL PLANET HORSE DOCUMENTARY FULL#And it's a volume weight charge," Dutta says.īut if a cargo hold full of horses sounds a little harsh, consider that they'll also have a veterinarian, a groom, and others with them.

We'll be flying on an MD-11, and the carrier, we expect, is going to be Federal Express." "Most horses, I anticipate, will be going from Newark airport in New Jersey to Stanstead, in England. Dutta, who has been moving horses around the world for some 25 years now, says his company will be flying from 50-60 horses to England.

On interlocutory appeal, the Ninth Circuit reversed the district court’s denial of summary judgment on those claims, holding the law was not clearly established as to whether the conditions of the contraband watch to which Chappell was subjected in 2002 violated the Eighth Amendment, or whether those conditions constituted an “atypical and significant hardship” sufficient to trigger due process protections. The district court granted summary judgment to the defendant prison officials on all but two of Chappell’s claims – that the contraband watch constituted cruel and unusual punishment and that his due process rights were violated when he had neither received notice of nor an opportunity to rebut the charges against him before he was placed on contraband watch. § 1983 alleging various constitutional violations.

She will outright refuse to consume any other Food type, stating it is not food befitting a warrior. Wigfrid's strict diet forces her to eat only Food of the Meat or Goodies type. However the amount stored slowly decays over time.įor example: If Wigfrid would be healing for the minimum of 0.33 each hit, it would take 4 hits to reach 1.32, which would then restore 1.32 Health and 1.32 Sanity.Īdditionally, the following entities won't heal Wigfrid at all when attacked:Įyeplant, Meat Bulb, Pumpkin Lantern, Extra-Adorable Lavae, Smallbird (if it belongs to a player), Chester, Glommer, Hutch, Houndius Shootius, Bernie, saddled Beefalo, Beehive, Killer Beehive, Hound Mound, Spider Den and any type of Wall. If the player would heal for less than 1, the amount is instead stored until it's higher than 1, which is then given to the player.

On the other side of the ledger, LastPass’ Security Challenge app is an excellent and easy-to-use actionable password strength reporting tool that helps educate users about what weak and strong passwords look like and that makes quick work of correcting vulnerabilities. #BITWARDEN VS LASTPASS SOFTWARE#LastPass has also been the subject of four limited data breaches between 20 although this may simply reflect the fact that the extensive popularity of the software makes it a likelier target for hacking attempts, and although the problems were quickly fixed and no vault data was compromised, users will have to weigh for themselves the implications of these events for their overall feeling of safety. This is a minor drawback, however, compared to the fact that LastPass’ last third-party security audit was in 2018 and, while it reported positively on LastPass’ ability to keep your vault data secure, was still not nearly as in-depth as the more recent audit of Bitwarden’s open-source software. It stores secure vaults both on your devices and on the company server and provides robust multifactor authentication options, allowing users to define hardware keys or biometric options for secondary authentication, although it doesn’t support the most modern U2F FIDO 2 standard for authenticator key generation, instead using a TOTP method. LastPass also enjoys a solid reputation for security. It provides two-factor authentication - though only via the web app - and is an all-round solid choice from a security standpoint. It provides the option to host all your passwords on your own server if you prefer, and the open-source nature of the software means it has received considerably more scrutiny from security experts than closed-source password managers. Employing a “zero-knowledge” model that ensures only you have access to your password, it uses the AES-256 and SHA-256 ciphers in combination to provide extensive encryption through password hashing. #BITWARDEN VS LASTPASS FREE#We looked carefully at what each password manager provides for password storage and other key resources at paid tiers of service, whether they provide a functional free version (and if so, how functional that free version is) and overall value-for-money.īitwarden is one of the most highly secure password managers on the market and has been through third-party security audits by the Cure53 firm. We looked at the tools each application provides for doing this as securely as possible, the features they provide for controlling this kind of access, the tiers of service at which each of them allows sharing with multiple or unlimited users and any particularly useful aspects of each solution’s approach to password sharing. There are times when it’s necessary to share passwords between certain users. An up-to-date password manager should also offer the convenience of biometric logins for your smartphone. The less time you have to spend working out how the software accomplishes certain tasks, the more time you can spend actively securing your passwords, and time is money for businesses and families alike. The best password managers should run as seamlessly as possible on any device, should be able to synchronize data between unlimited numbers of devices and should work with the broadest possible range of mobile, desktop and laptop operating systems as well as the most popular web browsers.Ī high-quality password manager should be painless to set up and intuitive to use. We looked for whether each app provides broad-based compatibility with multiple devices, browsers, and operating systems. Modern security practices should also, ideally, include third-party security audits. It’s critical for a password manager to store and transmit information securely, to provide multifactor authentication - or at the very least the option for two-factor authentication - to further impede hacking attempts and to encrypt data in ways that can’t be decrypted even with brute-force cryptanalytic attacks. ![]() ![]() Now that you know what work-life balance is, and why it matters. When workers are happy and balanced, they are more productive, take fewer sick days, and are more likely to stay in their jobs.Ĭheck out AppInstitute’s 111 Home Business Ideas for more ideas to help achieve the perfect work-life balance. Attaining a good work-life balance is very important. Although most people will say employers aren’t responsible for employees’ work-life balance, the truth is that employers that neglect their employees’ work-life balance may encounter higher rates of turnover and absenteeism as well as diminished productivity over time.īoth the employees and employers need flexible approaches to work-life balance. People need time outside of work to participate in family life, community activities and to develop and nurture friendships. One of the reasons to focus on work-life balance is happiness, productivity, and engagement. However, if you’re interested in a work-life balance that can help you live a happier, and more meaningful life then continue reading this post. Work-life conflict is a difficult problem that impacts both employee, and their employers and it seems that this problem is increasing. Other reasons include job security, work-role ambiguity, work-role conflict, job dissatisfaction, work demands or overload, and many more. The time spent at work is one of the major factors that influence this work-life conflict. According to a major Canadian study, 1 in 4 employees experiences high levels of work-life conflict between their work and family. clearly defined boundaries between their personal and work lives and not blurring the line.Work-life balance is described as a self-determined state of well-being that allows an individual to effectively manage different responsibilities at work, as well as outside work. At one level, 60% of Indian respondents feel that they balance their work and life while on the other hand, as high as about 78% respondents would like to be ‘segmentors’ and not ‘blenders’ i.e. In organisations where there is a work-life balance policy, the top three provisions offered were flexible work hours (62%), holiday (46%), and pursuing hobby/passion (25%).Ībhijeet Mukherjee, CEO,, APAC & Gulf said in a release: “If, there’s one thing that comes out distinct in this survey is dichotomy. These findings indicate that employers either need to establish such policies soon or need to find more effective ways of communicating them if they already have one. The other significant response that came from close to 40% respondents was to get time to pursue their hobbies and passion.Ģ2% feel that taking time off regularly is how they define work-life balance.Ħ0% of respondents spend one to two hours to travel to work about 70% respondents would like to work from home to avoid the daily commute.ħ5% respondents have said that their workplace doesn’t have a separate work-life balance policy and 25% are not even aware of such a policy. This was followed by leaving work on time and not bringing work home at 39%. When asked, what work-life means, ‘flexible work hours’ came as the number one response at 41%. Other two hindrances that emerged were meetings, calls and trainings after office hours (18%) and negative attitude of supervisors towards work-life balance despite the policy (11%). ![]() |
