...The Axis powers did certainly encounter supply problems with their campaign in North Africa. Especially towards the end of the campaign, they were experiencing serious difficulties in this sphere. Fuel, troops and ammunition were running out at such a rate that it was becoming increasingly difficult to replace it and Rommel’s pleas to Germany were being ignored. However there were certainly two more important factors that contributed to the Axis power’s defeat. These were Hitler’s, and to a lesser extent Rommel’s, poor grasp of strategical and logistical warfare in the North African area as well as the superiority of Allied naval and air power with the welcome introduction of American forces after 1941. After an unsuccessful Italian campaign in Egypt, Mussolini requested help from their German ally, and the Italian Commando Supremo sent motorized and armoured forces to protect their colonies in North Africa. The Germans hastily put together a motorized force, whose lead elements arrived in Tripoli in February 1941. Thus the rush to support the ailing Italian forces also played a part in the defeat of the Axis powers in North Africa as Germany certainly viewed North Africa as a peripheral area. The force, termed the Afrika Korps by Hitler, was placed under the command of Erwin Rommel. In April of the same year Rommel launched a series of attacks on Tobruk, the heavily garrisoned port fortress manned by an Australian infantry division. However when he failed in his attempts...

...Reflection Paper: Importance of 180o Rule or Action Axis in TV and Film Production 180o Rule or Action Axis is a basic guideline in film making that states that two characters (or other elements) in the same scene should always have the same left/right relationship to each other. If the camera passes over the imaginary axis connecting the subjects, it is called crossing the line. The new shot from the opposite side is known as reverse angle.1 Below is diagram how the 180o Rule or Action Axis looks like: [pic] The said principle is also based on the exchange of looks between the actors, either from left to right (of camera) or right to left (of camera). Also, the 180 degree rule enables the audience to visually connect with unseen movement happening around and behind the immediate subject and is important in the narration of battle scenes.2 In my opinion, the principle of Action Axis is helpful in TV and film production when determining the camera positions for photographing two or more people. Also, it helps the cameras and people in front of the camera adjust their blockings for a better shot. Action Axis is I think, the most basic, effective, and must-learn principle that a media arts student must understand before doing a film. Without understanding this concept, one would find difficulty in shooting his film. For aesthetic purposes, I do think that the180o rule will help emphasize the facial expressions of the actors or talents and make the...

...Unsafe Pesticide Applications More Dangerous Than Bed Bugs Lancaster County 444 Cherrycreek Road, Suite A / Lincoln, NE 68528 (402) 441-7180 / http://lancaster.unl.edu [346] Reprinted from The Nebline, Nov./Dec. 2011 Bed bugs are here. In the U.S., first reports of increased bed bug infestations began in 1999, primarily in hotels in larger cities in the eastern U.S. In just a few years, bed bugs traveled across the U.S. and found their way into the heartland. By 2003, clients were bringing me bed bugs for identification. The speed of bed bug movement across the U.S. was quite amazing and almost certainly related to human travel. There’s no evidence bed bugs transmit any disease, but bed bugs are important public health pests. Bites can produce serious allergic reactions, including hives and anaphylaxis. Scratching can result in secondary infections. The psychological consequences of infestations include insomnia, anxiety, and stress, and social isolation. The high cost of control presents a financial burden, especially to low-income families. In the U.S., most over-the-counter (OTC) products available for use in homes contain pyrethrins and/or pyrethroids. Studies have shown that nearly 90 percent of bed bug infestations are resistant to pyrethrin and pyrethroid products. This means these OTC products do not kill bed bugs very well, even if they are used the way the label says. Bed bugs are unlikely to die even after they sit on a surface after Photo by Barb Ogg, UNL Extension...

...Name Class Date Professor A History of World War 2 World War 2 was a very interest time period, and there were a lot of different factors that helped to contribute to the war. Many different nations got involved in this war, with each of them choosing a different side, this led to many rivalries. It also caused hard feelings between many nations, because before the war they may have had a close friendship between the countries, but after the war started that friendship ceased to exist because of the strain of war. There were many important details in World War 2, that helped to create what it became, and I’m going to discuss some of those details. Within World War 2, many different things occurred, such as concentration camps, and those issues are very important to many today, even though this event happened so many years ago. That is why I’m going to discuss the historical key points during World War 2, and explain why they were important. The beginning of World War 2 did not happen immediately as some might think, but it took time to develop. It all began when Hitler withdrew himself from the League of Nations in the year 1933, he did not believe the League would come after him because of their previous actions with Japan. That is why he left them and began to arm his country heavily with weapons and other things; in the meanwhile he was forming deals with many different nations for various things. The power of the League took another hit when Mussolini was able to...

...of businesses and partners. You are operating across international lines and frequently dealing with other cultures, currencies, and legal situations. This is true no matter if you are selling goods and services or working in bringing people from the other country into your country as tourists. Thus it becomes advantageous to for strategic alliances with people and businesses in all the countries in which you hope to operate. What is a strategic alliance? A strategic alliance is a merging or working together of businesses for mutual gain. It goes all the way back in history to when government started signing treaties to protect their borders and interests, a good example is during World War 2 when there were the Allied powers and the Axis Powers. Those were military strategic alliances for getting rid of the opposition and strengthening your borders while decreasing your expenses. When conducting business across borders a strategic alliance can help open international markets. How? One way is that the businesses with which you ally yourself should better understand the people in the country, and that will make it easier to sell your product and protect your interests. For instance names and words have power, especially in marketing. A lawyer advertising in England would never say something like "Let us help you get out of that bum rap" as bum there means Ass" Selling products can mean you need to shift names and phrases, a strategic alliance will help with this.

...How far would you agree that allied support was the main reason for the Russian victory in the Second World War? PLAN (POINT EXPLANATION EVIDENCE) 1.INTRO(WHO ARE WESTERN ALLIES) 2.ALLIES CREATING WAR ON TWO FRONTS 3.THE U.S, SUPPLY FOR THE USSR 4.THE USSR ITSELF 5.THE AXIS MISTAKES 6. CONCLUSION Allied forces consistent from countries which opposed the Axis powers. The main policy makers of Allies were the U.S.A., USSR and British Empire. These coalition and its cooperation helped the USSR, but importance of allied support for the USSR victory is arguable as there are several factors which oppose that statement. Allied forces were crucial for the USSR victory in the 2 World War as they created war on two fronts, which did not allow German to use all its power against the USSR. After defeat of Germans in Moscow, the USSR army advanced on the east, defatting Germans in Stalingrad, Leningrad and Kursk. However, even when Eastern was the biggest front in the 2 World War, and the USSR was fighting against bigger proportion of German soldiers, allies created pressure on Nazi army from the West and in North Africa. If the USSR would have fought against the hole Reich Army, the war for it would be lost. Also the allies were highly advanced in technology, what resulted in a lot of bombing operation from the USA and Britain. This allowed the USSR to meet less german tanks and avoid German airfares in their full presence, as the USSR was not able to produce aircrafts...

...The invasion of D-Day The invasion of D-Day was a very important battle during World War II. It was the battle in which the Allies landed on German-controlled beaches in an attempt to gain the upper hand on Hitler and the Axis powers. For me, I learned about the Axis and Allies through playing old WWII video games a s a kid, but not many people actually know what these two words mean or consist of. The Axis powers were the bad guys and consisted of Germany, Italy, and Japan. Oddly enough, Italy switched over to the Allied powers later in the war. The Allies were the supporters of the U.S., the good guys. They consisted of Poland, Britain, and Russia, formerly known as the USSR. The United States was also a part of the Allies but they didn’t join into the fighting until later in the war. A big portion of the credit of the victory on D-Day has to go to the 101st airborne division. They parachuted in and fought from behind enemy lines to flank the Germans from the rear. They had a huge impact on this very crucial battle. D-Day was the beginning of many Allied victories that led to the end of Hitler’s reign. The 101st airborne were a very big asset to the Allies. They were an elite force of skilled paratroopers that were the best of their kind. These highly trained killers were dropped in during the invasion. They actually had a lot of miscommunications on the landing zones and drop sites for these men because of the poor weather conditions. They had planned the invasion to...

...What do you think the enduring strategic and tactical level lessons of OP HUSKY are for the British Army? 'Every soldier must know, before he goes into battle, how the little battle he is to fight fits into the larger picture, and how the success of his fighting will influence the battle as a whole.' Field Marshal Sir Bernard Law Montgomery, 1st Viscount Montgomery of Alamein, KG, GCB, DSO, PC, nicknamed "Monty" and the "Spartan General". This essay will examine a number of lessons learnt from OP HUSKY July 9th 1943 during World War II. Both strategic and tactical examples will be drawn upon in order to relate to current day/ future operations. Prior to the lessons the question requires further explanation to provide greater accuracy within the analysis. The two main areas for development within the question are the terms strategic and tactical. Strategic can be defined as 'relating to the gaining of overall or long-term military advantage'1 Tactical on the other hand can be defined as 'relating to or constituting actions carefully planned to gain a specific military end.'2 The Allied invasion of Sicily, codenamed OP HUSKY, was one of the major campaigns and naval landings of World War II. It began on the night of 9th - 10th July 1943 and was a combination of a large scale amphibious and fairborne operation proceeded by a six weeks of inland combat. The first strategic lesson that can be learnt is the need for co-ordination and integration of all arms and...

...Substance Use, Abuse, and the Adolescent January 9, 2014 Walden University Axis I Axis I holds descriptions of clinical symptoms. These symptoms can lead to significant impairment. Adjustment impairment is one of these disorders. Hopelessness, feeling sad and stress are among the symptoms of impaired adjustment. The patient is clearly suffering from impaired judgement. This is evident where he says that he is stupid. For him to think he is stupid, he must be feeling hopeless. Otherwise he would not conclude on being stupid and instead would hold a belief of self improvement. The patient’s sadness is also depicted when he comments that his mother hates his friends. He clearly suffers from social problems. That is probably why he would rather spend most of his time playing video games and listening to music. It is probably the only way he can momentary escape his loneliness. Axis II Mental and personality retardation in Axis II describes situations that are applicable to the subject’s situation. In this description, some issues which are overlooked in the Axis I develop into more serious conditions which are long term. One symptom from this axis that is evident in the patient is the tendency to be antisocial. This disorder is illuminated when the mother points out that he spends m much time playing his video games. This game ensures that the better time of his day is spent indoors and in the loneliness. When playing these games, he does not involve himself in social talks...
