I think it was a tactic of survival.

Without the political will to find common ground, the continual friction of tactic and counter tactic only creates suspicion and hatred and vengeance, and perpetuates the cycle of violence.

Year two learned a few things had to change my tactic.

And this data gets sent to a machine that slices the data into two dimensional representations of that product all the way through almost like slicing it like salami.

In addition to more conventional methods of raising money, hostage taking is an established terrorist tactic.

Now this is a tactic that patent trolls are supposed to use on people to get their way.

Recent violence has hampered assistance efforts, and we have seen a shocking new tactic the deliberate targeting of humanitarian personnel.

Domestic and international conflicts have taken advantage of women's unequal position and use violence and exploitation as common forms of military tactic and strategy.

A standard attack tactic involves profiling a system by feeding it improper data, and checking for the kinds, and contexts, of the errors which are returned.

In exchange, the Belgrade authorities need to put an end to their tactic of obstruction, which prevents Kosovo Serbs from participating in the public institutions of Kosovo.

It's a standard Putin tactic he wants to try to go there from a position of strength, Mr. Galeotti said of the next peace talks, planned for early September.

Make believe democracy and elections were part of a diversionary tactic that perpetuated Puerto Rico's colonial status, served the interests of the colonial power and destroyed Puerto Rican society.

Yet an alliance with the nationalists against Putin currently tempts many Russian liberals. Indeed, the most popular tactic among liberals nowadays is to unite with all opponents of the regime.

But sport was somehow different. There, it was just letting off steam, no different from cheering or booing or it was a legitimate tactic, no different from needling an opponent by challenging his manhood.

But scattered moves in the right direction will not suffice. What is really needed is a change in vision and mentality a shift from viewing multilateralism as a tactic to embracing it as a strategic imperative.

It had originally been intended that the Doha Round would address investment, but the developing countries chose to downgrade the issue and concentrate on agriculture instead. This tactic has proven to be a two edged sword.

Creating a climate of fear and insecurity had become a tactic of parties in conflict and, as a result, it was becoming increasingly difficult for humanitarian personnel to protect and assist refugees and internally displaced persons.

A tactic favored by Chinese anti corruption investigators is to detain junior officials who have worked closely with their primary target. Typically, these minions are threatened with long prison sentences, or even the death penalty, unless they cooperate.

He could liberalize the exchange rate and let it float upwards, but he is not even doing that. Instead, using an old Soviet tactic, Putin has imposed informal price controls, which cannot hold for long in a privatized economy.

In fairness, given Krugman s strong and public positions, he has been subject to immense personal criticism by many on the right. Perhaps the paranoid style in public debate, focusing on motives rather than substance, is a useful defensive tactic against rabid critics.

While populists might be particularly prone to advocating facile solutions, they hardly have a monopoly on that tactic. Moreover, impugning populists intelligence and seriousness only plays into their hands See how the arrogant, entrenched elites, they will counter, dismiss the common sense of the people.

These purchases would need Treasury support, since this tactic is in effect a fiscal policy, not a monetary policy. And, by involving the Treasury, the purchase of risky assets could be financed by issuing debt, rather than by printing more money, thereby attenuating inflationary fears.

The current government s tactic of muddling through without changing the political system or the structure of the economy is fraught with the risk of gradual decline. To the Kremlin s rulers, this may seem an acceptable cost for retaining power, but postponing reform will only aggravate Russia s countless problems.

It shattered the Georgian military, grievously damaged Georgia s economy, and stirred up discord within the Western alliance. For three years, it has tried every conceivable tactic to bring Saakashvili down fomenting a domestic uprising, imposing an economic blockade, beefing up its forces in the enclaves, and finally a war.

On occasion, he has berated the Europeans for insufficient support not a good tactic for someone trying to join the EU and has used rhetoric about Russia that, while understandable, only increases the danger to himself. Saakashvili cannot pick up his tiny country and move it to Mexico.

The author claims that he did not pay child support for three years, which forced her to claim the support by going to the court and to the police, and that he has used this form of financial abuse as a violent tactic in addition to continuing to threaten her physically.

They're talking about the decision of why they don't go shoot one thing that turns out to be a great business tactic in the gang, if you go and just shoot in the air just shoot guns in the other gang's territory all the people are afraid to go buy their drugs there.

In the case of Brazil, state and local officials had other things on their mind in 2014 hosting the World Cup soccer tournament in June and July and winning elections later in the year. So they relied on a time tested political tactic hide the bad news behind a feel good message.

In other words, Gazprom (and the Russian government) are less capable of withstanding the loss of the European market than vice versa. Indeed, given the hard bargains that China has been driving during Putin s desperate search for alternative buyers, threatening to cut exports to Europe has proven to be an exceedingly unwise tactic.

For example, China provided cheap airplane tickets to roughly 400,000 of the one million Taiwanese living on the mainland to enable them to return home to vote. Given that Ma won by 800,000 votes, this tactic may not have been decisive, but it most likely played a considerable part in determining the outcome.

As its economic and geopolitical influence has waned, so has its willingness to consider renouncing its nuclear status. Indeed, not only has it revived the Cold War era tactic of sending military aircraft unannounced into airspace over the Baltic countries and the North Sea it has also made veiled nuclear threats against countries like Denmark.

Shocked by the attacks of September 11, the US forced a new framework onto its still unquestioned belief in the inexorable movement of history toward freedom. Unfortunately, what emerged was a deeply flawed approach, not least because in declaring a war on terror, America positioned itself against a tactic, not an entity or an ideology.

Using legislative language apparently drafted by Citi s own lobbyists, the firm successfully pressed for the repeal of some of the 2010 Dodd Frank financial reforms. The provision was then passed after it was attached to a last minute spending bill a tactic that ensured very little debate in the House of Representatives and none at all in the Senate.

But, instead of sticking to this position and turning a debate over debt forgiveness into a Draghi style diversionary tactic, Greece abandoned this demand within days. Then came the pointless provocation of refusing talks with the troika, despite the fact that the three institutions are all much more sympathetic to Greek demands than the German government.

In the depraved minds of terrorists, each attack has its own simple logic the latest shootings, for example, are revenge by Al Shabab for Kenya s intervention in Somalia s civil war. But all of the recent attacks share a new tactic to create shock by exceeding what even many of the most hardened terrorists had previously considered beyond the pale.

Maybe it is using smaller dinner plates or keeping temptation out of the house, store, or workplace or following the increasingly modish (but actually ancient) creed of eating breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper. Then there is the simple tactic of restricting your options in advance, when you have the strength.

Cameron s supporters cite the precedent set by Labour Prime Minister Harold Wilson, who in 1975 renegotiated the terms of Britain s membership in the European Economic Community terms that his conservative predecessor, Edward Heath, had accepted a few years earlier and then held a referendum on continued EEC membership. This tactic worked once, they argue, and it will work again.

Cameron s supporters cite the precedent set by Labour Prime Minister Harold Wilson, who in 1975 renegotiated the terms of Britain s 160 membership in the European Economic Community terms that his conservative predecessor, Edward Heath, had accepted a few years earlier and then held a referendum on continued EEC membership. This tactic worked once, they argue, and it will work again.

But the Cameron government s approach is more sinister than the old right wing tactic of taking aim at disciplines that can be derided as effete. The British cuts reveal a push in developed countries one that also started in the US to target the kinds of education that lead to an open, vigorous civil society and a population that is hard to suppress.

But it now challenges the principles on which America s successful policy of a democratic and prosperous peace was based, and it has no alternative model to put in its place. Attempting to retain advantages for your exporters and to buy up commodities regardless of the political and economic price is a tactic for China, not a strategy for the world.

This is the only prudent stance for South Korea to adopt when face to face negotiations with the North begin on February 8. For what Kim is now offering is not peace, but a peace offensive a tactic used by the North repeatedly since the armistice of 1953 in order to sow division whenever the regime s adversaries have demonstrated unity and resolve.

An occasional dusting of window frames and doorframes is extremely effective. Bill Gates s experts seem not to know that the foundation s annual letter contains the following single mention of DDT The world hoped in the 1950s and 1960s that malaria could be eliminated by killing mosquitoes with DDT, but that tactic failed when the mosquitoes evolved to be resistant to the chemical.

Across the West, many people are questioning whether Russia will continue using natural gas as a means of putting economic and political pressure on Ukraine, Georgia, and other countries in what the Kremlin regards as its near abroad. Using the energy weapon, however, is not just a tactic it is at the heart of the prevailing doctrine guiding Russian foreign policy.
