Breverton's Nautical Curiosities is arranged into thematic chapters: 1) 1) The ocean environment – animals, geography, geology, weather, coasts, islands 2) 2) Ship types and parts – from the first boat to the latest cutting-edge technology 1) 3) People – heroes, heroines, pirates, sailors, captains 2) 4) Disasters, battles, wars 3) 5) Literature – stories, myths, legends, proclamations, acts, orders 4) 6) Nautical sayings and slang Breverton's Nautical Curiosities is about ships, people and the sea. However, unlike many other nautical compendiums, the focus of this book is on the unusual, the overlooked or the downright extraordinary. Thus, someone most of us do not know, Admiral William Brown, is given equal coverage to Admiral Nelson. Without Admiral Brown releasing Garibaldi, modern Italy might not exist. And without the barely known genius John Ericsson designing the Monitor, the Confederacy might have won the American Civil War. Readers will be stimulated to read more about the remarkable men – explorers, admirals and trawlermen – who have shaped our world. The sea has had a remarkable effect upon our language. We hear the terms ‘steer clear of', ‘hit the deck', ‘don't rock the boat', ‘to harbour a grudge' and the like, and give little thought to them. In the pages of this book, the reader will find the origin of 'bumpkin', a 'brace of shakes', 'born with a silver spoon', 'booby prize', 'to take on board', 'above board', 'bombed' (in the sense of being drunk), the 'blues', 'blind-side', 'blind drunk', 'the pot calling the kettle black', 'reach the bitter end', 'wasters', 'ahoy', 'all at sea', 'to keep aloof', 'piss-artist','taken aback', 'barbecue'' and 'bamboozle'. Other colourful terms, which have passed out of common usage, such as 'bring one's arse to anchor' (sit down), 'belly timber' (food) and 'bog orange' (potato) are also included, as well as important pirate haunts, technical terms, famous battles, maritime inventors and ship speed records.

The world was shocked by the Russian re-invasion of Ukraine on 24th February 2022. However, given the history of Russo-Soviet aggression against Ukraine and other neighbouring states, the war was predictable. The Red Army has always aimed to impose their Communist ideology on the world, and Soviet leaders have heavily relied on their military, actively encouraging displays of unprecedented levels of violence as a means of striking fear into the populations they have attacked and occupied. From October 1920 during the Civil War, when the Red Army's elite Cavalry units rampaged through the Ukrainian village of Prelacy, to the famine in Ukraine in 1946-1947, in which thousands starved to death as the Soviets forcibly exported grain and foodstuffs, to the 2014 Russian invasion and annexation of Crimea which precursor the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, this new study reveals how this invasion was a repetition of history rather than a recent, singular aberration of the Putin regime. This book shows how the current danger posed by Vladimir Putin's Russia is a continuation of the threats from the Communist administrations that preceded the break-up of the Soviet Union in 1991. In a wider context, rather than being threatened by Russian Communism, which lacked an economic base on which to leverage the West, western nations are now threatened by Russian Nationalism, underpinned by considerable economic power stemming from Russia's vast reserves of oil, gas, timber, gold, coal and other minerals. The book argues that Putin's long-term objective is the restoration of the boundaries of Imperial (Czarist) Russia, and that he sees himself as the Czar of a resurgent Russia, with absolute powers, rather than the leader of a government accountable to an electorate. The book also considers the role of NATO, and the greater consequences of a Russian attack on a NATO state, as well as the threats of nuclear weapons and cyber technology in modern warfare.

Cayin N3 Ultra Hi Res Digital Audio Player mit Röhrenausgangsstufe Cayin N3-Ultra HR-Player mit Röhren-Technik Der August 2020 markierte einen Wendepunkt in der Geschichte der tragbaren Audioplayer- als Cayin den bahnbrechenden N3-Pro DAP vorstellte. Mit seiner innovativen Nutzung der JAN 6418 Vakuumröhren von Raytheon- einer Komponente militärischer Spezifikation- definierte der N3-Pro den Begriff des ultimativen Digital-Klangs mit analogem Flair neu. Durch die einzigartige Kombination von Röhren- und Solid-State-Timbres bei gleichzeitig hoher Portabilität- langer Akkulaufzeit und moderatem Preis avancierte der N3-Pro rasch zum Bestseller. Jetzt- dreieinhalb Jahre später- ist Cayin stolz darauf- den N3-Ultra zu präsentieren- den neuesten Sproß seiner High-Resolution Digital Audio Player-Reihe. Offiziell auf der Canjam New York 2024 vorgestellt und im HeadFI-Forum angekündigt- baut der N3-Ultra auf den Errungenschaften seines Vorgängers auf- indem er die bewährten JAN 6418-Röhren nutzt und gleichzeitig von einem optimierten Schaltungs- und Strukturkonzept profitiert. Dieses Konzept verbessert die Nutzung der Röhren in tragbaren Geräten signifikant- indem es die Herausforderungen bezüglich Mikrofonie-Effekten und Interferenz-Anfälligkeit meistert. Innovative Klanganpassung und technologischer Fortschritt Der N3-Ultra ermöglicht es den Nutzern- zwischen zwei Röhrentimbres – Classic und Modern – zu wechseln- die sowohl am Kopfhörer- als auch am Line-Level-Ausgang verfügbar sind- ein deutlicher Vorteil gegenüber dem N3-Pro. Jetzt gibt es die Möglichkeit- den symmetrischen 4-4 Ausgang und auch aus den 3-5-mm-Line-Ausgang im Röhrenmodus anzusteuern- eine Funktion- die beim Vorgängermodell nicht gegeben war. Darüber hinaus erreicht der N3-Ultra die gleiche Ausgangsleistung mit den Röhren- und Transistortimbres- ein Meilenstein- der das Ergebnis jahrelanger Forschung und Entwicklung darstellt. Ausgestattet mit zwei AKM 4493S DAC-Chips im MONO-Modus für einen vollständig differentiellen Ausgang und einem NJW1195A Analog-Volumenregler von JRC- stellt der N3-Ultra eine maximale Ausgangsleistung von 600 mW am symmetrischen 4-4-mm-Kopfhörerausgang zur Verfügung. Optimierte Benutzererfahrung und längere Akkulaufzeit Der N3-Ultra- basierend auf Android- bietet eine verbesserte Benutzererfahrung durch einen 4-1-Zoll HD-TFT-LCD-Touchscreen und ein neues- reines Audio-UI-System. Mit einer 4500-mAh-Batterie- die eine QC3.0-Schnellladefunktion unterstützt- verspricht der Player bis zu 12 Stunden Akkulaufzeit über den 3.5mm Kopfhörerausgang im Transistormodus und über 8 Stunden über den 4.4mm Ausgang im Röhren-Classic-Modus. Mit nur 200 Gramm Gewicht und kompakten Abmessungen ist der N3-Ultra ideal für den mobilen Einsatz geeignet. Mit der Vorstellung des N3-Ultra führt Cayin seine Tradition der Innovation im Bereich der Röhrentechnologie fort und bietet Nutzern eine unvergleichliche audiovisuelle Erfahrung. Die Kombination aus fortschrittlicher Technologie- benutzerfreundlicher Bedienung und der einzigartigen Klangqualität- die nur Röhren bieten können- positioniert den N3-Ultra als herausragendes Produkt in Cayins Portfolio und untermauert das Engagement des Unternehmens für kontinuierliche Verbesserung und audiophile Exzellenz.
