		The Balkan League plan of attack was to divide the Turkish forces and to defeat them in detail, to divide and “defeat in detail” as Edward Erickson noted.
		The Balkan League resulted because of the failure of the Treaty of San Stefano and the Treaty of Berlin to resolve the issue of Macedonia.
		The Balkan League emerged because: 1) the Young Turks wanted to enforce a centralized authority and to retain Turkish control in Macedonia; and, 2) was a reaction to the annexation of Bosnia-Hercegovina by Austria-Hungary in 1908 in violation of the Treaty of Berlin.

	Countermeasures
		To determine whether technically simple countermeasures would be effective against the planned NMD system, we examined three potential countermeasures in detail: submunitions with biological or chemical weapons, nuclear warheads with anti-simulation balloon decoys, and nuclear warheads with cooled shrouds.
		A judgement that the planned NMD system can work against realistic countermeasures must be based on sound analysis of the performance of the planned system against feasible countermeasures designed to defeat it.
		While the number of attacking missiles would have a significant impact on the operational effectiveness of the NMD system, of greater importance would be the "countermeasures" an attacker took to confuse, overwhelm, or otherwise defeat the defense.

		Prior to Kontakt-5, Russian ERA was effectively useless against KE long rods; Kontakt-5 was an attempt to balance the effects to defeat both threats.

	Alexander Weber, Dismemberment
		Here, the reality effect seems to defeat itself, often leading to an accumulation of unsubordinated surface phenomena.Yet, in contrast to various postmodern neorealists who use the glitterworld of consumer society in order to thematize its possiblities and impossibilities to generate meaning, representation and language are never called into question.
		Together, this may lead to a "reality effect" in a broader sense of the word, although the incorporation of the (unnecessary) detail is only one of the means to achieve it.
		The unmotivated detail, which features so prominently in Barthes´ reality effect, is employed so excessively as to turn description into an inventory of household appliances or a shopping list which reads like a film script financed mainly by product placement since most food and drink comes with their correct brand names attached to it.

		But if the 55-page confidential "early warning" intelligence assessment is impressive in the sheer mass of detail on the names and locations of suspect players in the global WMD game, the information may be seen as deeply troubling.
		PV Narasimha Rao and Mr Atal Bihari Vajpayee displayed statesmanship, transcending political differences, to defeat a Pakistani move to get India condemned for alleged human rights violations in J&K at the United Nations Human Rights Commission, in 1994.
		An earlier edition of the book, published in Britain in February, included details from other prewar British government documents, but it did not include the detail from the Jan. 30 conversation.

	PointBlank: Anime Reviews - .hack//Legend of the Twilight Bracelet
		Unfortunately, at only 13 episodes, I´m afraid that Hack Dusk is going to be rushed towards the end, since the subject of Twilight has barely been touched upon in detail.
		There´s a lot of detail and shading, especially in the characters, and the scenes are beautiful to look at.
		Also unlike Hack Sign is an exciting plot structure which shows that Hack Sign was a fluke, and it wouldn´t curse the entire.hack project.

		He fled to Athelney in January of 878 to recover from a defeat at the hands of the Vikings.
		In the darkest hour of his reign, the young king hid on the island in the marshes and gathered the forces that enabled him to go on to defeat the Danes a few months later at Edington.
		Missing since the 1700s, the ancient charters, known collectively as a cartulary, detail the king's establishment of a religious community on the small island on the Somerset levels where he famously took refuge and where, popular nursery legend has it, he burned cakes that had been left in the hearth.
