In 1869, Maupassant moved to Paris to study law, but by the age of twenty he volunteered to serve in the army during the Franco–Prussian War. After the war he joined the literary circle headed by Gustave Flaubert. The famous writer was a friend of Maupassant's mother. Flaubert introduced his new protégé to other writers, including Émile Zola, Ivan Turgenev

Sud vietnamiens perdirent près de 250000 hommes durant la guerre, soit cinq fois plus que leurs alliés américains. Les armes de l’armée du Nord Vietnam firent un nombre bien plus important de victimes parmi les rangs de l’arvn que dans ceux de l’us army: pour les vietnamiens la guerre du Vietnam a donc bien été aussi une guerre civile. La romancière et soldate dans l’Armée Populaire du Vietnam, Duong thu huong fut confrontée à cette réalité du conflit lorsqu’elle croisa au front une colonne de prisonniers

Alejandro experiences, first hand, the reality that Oaxaca has emerged as one of Mexico's leading exporters of human labor to the United States. Inspired by this, he decides to create a monumental installation art piece: 2,501 life-size sculptures, a homage to each individual migrant who left his village. Filmmaker and native Oaxacan, Yolanda Cruz, explores the questions of art and an

of this approach brings many metaphors to light (Whittington, 2002). The idea of The General being the ultimate power over an army, perhaps gives an extremely authoritarian view over the approach, giving connotations of immensely rigid rules, a clear chain of command within an organisation and little scope for democracy. The perception of a firm taking the form of an army-like organisation, also gives rise to the suggestion of conflict and disaccord within the enterprise. In the current modern era

But it is also, sometimes, the work of Special Forces who stand somewhere between the police and the army. The rules of engagement for police and Special Forces derive from the same moral principles that govern jus in bello, but the rules for the police are not the same as the rules for soldiers, and I am not sure that anyone knows what the rules are or

hailstorm? The Western Highlands of Kenya, in Africa. In terms of annual average, Kericho, Kenya, has more hail than anywhere else on earth, with hail falling on 132 days each year. By comparison, the United Kingdom averages only 15 hail days in a year and the worst affected area in the United States, the eastern Rockies, experiences an average of 45 hail days a year. What causes the abundance of hail is not fully understood. Kericho is the home of Kenya’s tea plantations, and a 1978 study showed

this time. The world was split into two blocks with different ideologies: one was led by the Soviets, anchored in communism, and the other promoted a capitalist ideology with the Americans as leaders. Truman was the first president to involve the United States in this awkward conflict, proposing to Congress the Marshall Plan in 1947. This was part of the Containment policy, which was, as its name suggests, a way to contain the propagation of communist ideology. Each block was trying to expand. NATO was

Although there is not an international consensus behind this definition yet, France accepted it from the start. It describes
