I’m doing an essay on why the Dieppe raid was a success for my history class. And, I need some help with WHY exactly it was. I understand that we learned lessons, but i only have the supporting ideas of new tactics/strategies and new fortifications were made. I need help on specific details on why it was a success and another supporting idea. Please and thank you! 
It was a dismal failure.
The commando raid portion of the operation, to destroy gun emplacements on the cliffs overlooking the landing site, was a complete success.So, you could use that.
Can Someone help me i cant find answer in my textbook
i couldnt find it anywhere mate
Does anyone use any interesting homemade investing strategies with success?
I’m always thinking of interesting things to do – like placing money in a company every time you have a good experience with their service or product (as long as there is room for growth), investing in the companies with the best consumer ratings, buying a variety of products and investing in the company that makes the best one (such as shavers, for example), etc.
Does anyone exercise any of their own simple homemade ideas like this?
Someone suggested once writing down all of the products you use on a daily basis. For example, "I woke up and took a shower. I used Suave shampoo and Axe bodywash" etc. See how many products you use that are actually made by the same company (Unilever in the above example). Sometimes you don’t realize how often you’re buying products from the same company until you actually write it down on paper. And if you carry it through to the workplace it may result in even more surprises. But, if you work for a large company and they consistenly use products from a specific manufacturer, that can be enlightening also. Kind of an extension of what you’re already doing. Other than that I like using stock screeners and primarily try to find value stocks. Reading 10-K’s is tedious but it’s probably the most objective way to find out what a company’s financials, risk factors, etc really are. I find the risk factors most interesting. One of the keys is to find a company whose products/services/image cannot be easily replicated. Reading about a what a company sees as threats to its future may alert you to a huge pitfall that you hadn’t thought of yourself. I also like to listen to conference calls. Again, boring but revealing. Also not exactly a homemade strategy.
Take time to plan. Invest time in working out a long term and short term financial plan. The worst thing one can do is start trying to accumulate wealth without a real idea of what they are going to do tomorrow.
Invest wisely. Research stocks and know the amount of money you are willing to lose. High return equals high risk. Stay diversified and you should not be disappointed.
Pay yourself first. One simple word, save. Before you pay rent, bills and the like, pay yourself that is why you work. Take it out of the money been before it gets passed around.
Use cash. Using cash not only gives you bargaining power, but it also brings spending to a more tactile experience. It is much easier to impulse buy with a card, but counting out the cash is a bit harder to do.
Do not depend on a credit card. Credit cards are not bad in and of themselves, but if you are relying on a credit card to pay your rent or bills, then you have a serious problem. Get on your feet first.
Pay off debt. Get the monkey off of your back and pay off those outstanding credit card bills or your student loans. Your personal net worth will never increase until debt is g-o-n-e.
Pay cash for big ticket items. This makes you save and think about whether or not you really need that 80 inch plasma TV. It also gives you bargaining power at the check out stand. Try it, it works.
Shop around. Prices on big ticket items and even cars and comparable houses vary from street to street. Know what is the going rate in a given area for a given item.
Give to charities. Read any book about people who were able to amass a ton of wealth and they will say that they gave to charities on a consistent basis. Karma, anyone?
Budget. Take control of your money, do not let it control you. Budgeting allows you to tell your money where to go and what to do. It is the single most helpful practice to get into on one’s way to becoming wealthy.
Tags: If not, what would be different in the ideal test? Are there any ways the government’s actions aren’t Keynesian in strategy?
This stimulus is Keynesian at its finest. More government spending on things like education, infrastructure, and other projects. I won’t necessarily say that this will test the theory as much as it will the American consumer.
Do you mind sharing some Success Strategies here?
Gosh, there are so many scenarios…but for general survival:
1) Decide on a rendezvous points ahead of time if family is separated. That means everyone must know the surrounding area. And how to communicate when phones are down.
2) Educate yourself on basic survival techniques for your area. You’ve got to know the basics of making a shelter, fire, water procurement/filtration, food procurement/preparation, communication, and first aid. Carry a personal survival kit EVERYWHERE you go.
3) Modularize your kits from basic to home base kits. For example, have a personal survival pocket kit, a car sized kit for up to 4 people based on season/area, and a family kit based on season/area. These things need to include your basic survival, then progress to comfort items and clothing. Preposition supplies at your rendezvous points if possible. Otherwise, keep supplies mobile and easily carried. I love rubbermaid tubs 
4) Manage supplies that can sustain each person in your household for at least a year. That means food inventory/preparation/storage; water filtration/storage off grid; heating/cooling off grid and fuel to go with it; sanitation; and basic tools and supplies for protecting and fixing things around the house and for your vehicles.
5) Maintain physical and emotional well being. Do what is necessary to stay healthy. Toughen your feet and wear proper footwear!
Having knowledge is the greatest resource. Learning and doing it–gardening, canning, education in survival and first aid, weapons proficiency, knowing what supplies your family needs vs what is nice to have.

Folks, you can’t eat and drink bullets. And if you think you’re going to take from someone else what you should have put away for yourself, I’ll be part of the posse to blow your a$$ away. You can’t eat roadkill when TSHTF because there won’t be any cars rolling or antibiotics/dewormers to kill the crap you put in your bodies.
I wish someone knew. But no one does.
We all have our on view on what is really a successful love.
But to me a successful love is being with someone that you feel COMPLETELY comfortable with, that you trust fully, and that you can tell everything too. You just feel it in your heart.
A website is just like any other advertising medium. It wouldn’t hurt to check out some of your competitors websites to see what their layout is like. You may not need one, but it’s inexpensive to build and host a website, compared to other types of advertising. Are you looking to build a website for a pastry shop? an online consumer shop for pastry/baking supplies? Do you plan to sell pastries online?
You could check out PastryNet which an online community for pastry professionals.
http://www.pastrynet.com/
There’s also the Association of Pastry Chefs
http://www.associationofpastrychefs.org/
You could also look at any website designed for the hospitality industry in general.
