Hitler was known to have particular animosity for Allied commandos and paratroopers due to their unpredictability, their effect on German morale, their successes in Europe, Norway and North Africa, and his inability to devise any worthwhile counter. Raiding escalated in 1942 and included the large scale Combined Operations' raids at St. Nazaire and Dieppe. Though the main assault on Dieppe failed, the Army commando attacks on the flank batteries were, on the whole, succe ...

The judgement of the court was given by Lord Brightman. The other four judges (Lord Fraser of Tullybelton, Lord Scarman, Lord Roskill and Lord Bridge of Harwich) gave shorter judgements agreeing with Lord Brightman's more detailed judgement. The court decided in favour of the Inland Revenue (as it then was: it is now HM Revenue and Customs). The judgement can be viewed as a battle between: extending the principle in the Duke of Westminster's Case (Inland Revenue Commissioners v. Duke of Westminster [1936] A.C. 1); a ...

Ultimately, it is not the format that is important, but what lies behind it - the content. Several key requirements need to be met before an outlet can be regarded as forming a part of the literature. The format should be archival, in the sense that libraries should be able to store and catalogue the documents and scientists years later should be able to recover any document in order to study and assess it, and there should be an established way of citing the document so that formal reference can be made to them in future scient ...

A link has two ends, called anchors, and a direction. The link starts at the source anchor and points to the destination anchor. However, the term link is often used for the source anchor, while the destination anchor is called the link target. The most common link target is a URL used in the World Wide Web. This can refer to a document, e.g. a webpage, or other resource, or to a position in a webpage. The latter is achieved by means of a HTML element with a "name" or "id" attribute at that position of the HTML document. The URL of the position is the U ...

Also like the state it serves, the Court has a reputation for being unique in various odd ways. Both the California Supreme Court and all lower California state courts use a different writing style and citation system from the federal courts and many other state courts. The most obvious difference is that California citations always have the year between the names of the parties and the reference to the case reporter, as opposed to the national standard (the Bluebook) of putting the year at the end. For example, the famous case Marvin v. ...

The Daubert ruling identified factors of reliability for scientific evidence that were in line with the Federal Rules of Evidence, which had superseded the Frye Standard. That citation is Frye v. United States 293 F. 1013 (DC Cir. 1923). Frye was the dominant approach to determining the admissibility of expert testimony in federal courts prior to the Daubert decision. Under Frye, when novel scientific evidence is at issue, the Frye inquiry allows the judiciary to defer to scientific expertise ...
