Topic: Operation Demetrius


In the News (Thu 31 Dec 09)

  
  Plutarch: Life of Demetrius (1) - translation
Demetrius was exceedingly concerned at the affair; but though his friend waited on him as usual, that they might pursue their diversions together, he dared not speak to him on the subject, because of his oath.
Demetrius of Phalerum and his partisans thought it necessary to receive a man who came with such a superior force, though he should perform none of his promises, and accordingly sent deputies to make their submission.
Demetrius was very young when his father persuaded him to marry her, though she was advanced in life, and on that account unfit for him.

Demetrius sent a fleet with reinforcements for the beleaguered city and Lysimachus could only helplessly watch as supplies and men were disembarked at the quays of Abydos' port.
The whole operation shows a remarkable degree of co-ordinated planning between the two armies and presumably Lysimachus was able to communicate with Pleistarchus with the help of the Heraclean navy.
But Demetrius failed to keep his troopers in hand as they swept away in pursuit, an occurrence that was far from unusual in cavalry actions from ancient through to modern times.

Demetrius Perricos of the IAEA as Chief Inspector.
This operation, which was organized and executed by the Iraqi side, was necessary in order to limit problems due to further corrosion of the fuel cladding.
However, during this operation it was observed that the extent of corrosion in the fuel cladding was greater than expected and that a more stable storage environment was needed quickly.

Operation Goodnight is the collective effort of the school district's two big unions -- Dyk's group which is the CSEA, and the Manteca Educators Association currently headed by Stephanie Cretser, the president.
Operation Goodnight organizers also made it clear that this is not a school-district project but an independent project of the district's more than 700 classified employees and 1,200 certificated teachers.
What Operation Goodnight really needs at this time, in addition to the donations, is a storage facility where the items can be stored and where the volunteers can sort and package the items.

 The Colossus of Rhodes, Wonder of the World
Demetrius was skilled in directing catapults and battering rams to crush city walls, and upon landing on the island he immediately began his efforts to break down its fortifications and defenses.
When several of Demetrius 's siege towers were destroyed—mired down in mud created by the Rhodians, who flooded the enemy encampment—Antigonus realized that his son's forces could no longer prevail, and ordered Demetrius to make terms and abandon the island.
Demetrius reluctantly moved on to other conquests, but he left behind many of his expensive siege engines as a gift, reputedly because he was impressed with the spirit of the Rhodian's resistance (even their slaves had manned the city walls).

 THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- DEMETRIUS AND THE GLADIATORS
In DEMETRIUS AND THE GLADIATORS, Victor Mature reprises his role of Demetrius, an early Christian, who witnessed Christ's crucifixion and carried away the robe from the foot of the cross.
After Demetrius tries to stop Roman soldiers from finding the robe, he is sentenced to fight in the arena as a gladiator as punishment.

Constructed by identifying links and focal ideas in transcribed oral or written data, flow maps are useful in identifying the underlying neurocognitive networks that form the framework for and ultimately control the rate, linearity, and complexity of recalled scientific information stored in memory.
Demetrius (1998) reported that flow map interconnectedness was related to the quality of recalled biological information among middle school students, and Tsai (1998) correlated flow map linkage with eighth-grade students' science achievement and precision of knowledge recall.
To provide a concise yet detailed description of the results of this study, the data from two students are provided in depth and compared to the mean performance of the class.

By 1986 Holloway and Carter were running a multi-million dollar drug operation which allowed Demetrius to open 3 sporting goods stores, in addition to purchasing several acres of land in Alabama while setting up Renters Paradise to oversee several Detroit Apartment buildings which allowed him to claim a legal $17,000 in monthly income.
Holloway also claimed to be a professional gambler a habit or business which he claimed to the tune of $288,000 to $780,000 on federal tax returns filed in the late '80s.
Demetrius who was felled by two shots to the back of the head, had a pistol in his possession as well as $17,000 in cash but did not have the chance to defend himself.

 This week in Jewish history
In 165 BCE, the same year that the Maccabees recaptured the Temple, Demetrius I succeeded Antiochus IV as ruler of Syria.
Both the capital and the Temple were lost, and Demetrius appointed Bacchides, a particularly cruel Selucid officer, as governor over Judea.
Preoccupied with his own fight for survival, Demetrius posed no threat at all as Jonathan advanced to seize Jerusalem and began refortifying the city's defenses.

 The Origin of the Cult of St. Demetrius
Emeterius and Demetrius, and the fact that both were military martyrs, all combine to raise the question whether the cult of St. Demetrius has its origin in some misunderstanding concerning the presence of some alleged relics of St. Emeterius at Thessalonica.
Demetrii and the eventual extinction of the cult of St. Demetrius the Deacon which is itself the reason that the author of the Passio Altera, or of its original source rather, assumed that Leontius had built the Church of St. Demetrius at Sirmium as well as that at Thessalonica.
So there is a strong case for detecting the origin of the cult of St. Demetrius of Thessalonica in the translation there not of the relics of the deacon Demetrius of Sirmium, but of the relics of the military martyrs Emeterius and Chelidonius of Calagurris in Spain, probably in 379.

Details of their design and operation were thus relatively unknown to the IAEA at the time the comprehensive safeguards agreement was concluded.
The operating records of the Z-plant were subject to detailed scrutiny which enabled the plant operation to be modelled, on a daily basis, from its very beginning to the day of the initial inventory.
A comparison of records showed, for a certain period of plant operation, that the amount of U-235 transferred to depleted uranium waste storage as indicated in the operating records was substantially more than that recorded in the accounting records.

Demetrius Thomas wanted to go to Germany to trade his Mustang in for a BMW and to work on cars.
Instead, Thomas was deployed near the conclusion of Operation Just Cause, a military invasion that began on Dec. 20, 1989, to remove dictator Manuel Noriega from presidency of Panama.
Then President George H. Bush justified the invasion to safeguard lives of American civilians in Panama, combat drug trafficking, protect the Panama Canal and defend democracy and human rights that Noriega had violated by nullifying election victories for opposition parties.

 Pinochet extradition verdict expected October 8   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Throughout the year-long case, Pinochet has based his defence upon a warning that a similar fate could fall upon other heads of state, and that, in their own interests, if not his, Pinochet's claim to immunity as a head of state should be upheld.
Taking this implicit threat to a new stage, Pinochet's lawyers claimed that the charges he faced could be compared to the European Court of Human Rights' condemnation of methods used in Britain's 1971 “Operation Demetrius” in Ulster.
Operation Demetrius was one of the most noted instances of Britain's oppression of Ireland.

 The Republic of Ireland v
The two operations of interrogation in depth by means of the five techniques led to the obtaining of a considerable quantity of intelligence information, including the identification of 700 members of both IRA factions and the discovery of individual responsibility for about 85 previously unexplained criminal incidents.
With regard to the practice followed during Operation Demetrius, the Compton Committee noted that a photograph was taken of each person admitted to a regional holding centre and that on entry to Ballykinler and Magilligan, though not to Girdwood Park, a medical examination was carried out and its result recorded.
It would appear that, at the beginning of the internment operation, reliance was simply placed on the normal regulations requiring humane treatment and forbidding the use of violence.

Demetrius Zaarin was an ambitious Imperial officer who reached the rank of Grand Admiral.
However, the kidnap attempt failed, as Vader crushed Zaarin's fighter support much as was done in the Second Battle of Coruscant over twenty years prior, and Imperial forces managed to save the Emperor before he reached Glory.
Vice Admiral Thrawn's Star Destroyer arrived in time to drive Zaarin off, but he and his forces escaped unscathed, and thus began a lengthy and costly operation under Thrawn's command to stop him.

For Operation Demetrius, as the internment drive was termed, was botched in practically every respect one can think of.
The crucial intelligence on which the success of the operation depended was flawed and many of those arrested had to be subsequently released because they were not involved in any paramilitary activity.
In response to internment the Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association began a campaign of civil disobedience which culminated in a 'rent and rates strike' by those in public sector houses.

Not only is it a space where Terry can retreat from the noise of his three, soon to be four, rambunctious young boys, but it’s also where he spends time in prayer and strategizing his run for the Senate in Florida’s Eighth District.
Following a prayer meeting where a woman brought up the issue of abortion and through the example of others engaged in peaceful protest, Terry founded Operation Rescue — a group that nonviolently blocked abortion clinic entrances until police physically removed them.
Most of the suits were based upon the concept that Operation Rescue had hurt the abortionist’s business.

Instead of allowing the street’s subculture to dictate their paths in life, they got their lives in order, by becoming responsible citizens with a little street hustle left in them to survive.
For seven years, DEA agents, Sean Vetter and Demetrius Hicks, patiently waited for Memo to slip up and their surveillance pays off big time.
There are some hits and misses with the storyline (especially the ending), as well as a sting operation gone bad, which is reminiscent of the bank robbery where the bad guys shoot their way out of the bank onto the streets Los Angeles.
