Having made its debut in the Franco-Prussian War in 1870, anti-aircraft artillery was used extensively in the First World War. It was, however, not until the Second World War that anti-aircraft artillery truly came into prominence, shooting down more aircraft than any other weapon and seriously affecting the conduct of air operations. The development of anti-aircraft artillery continued into the Cold War, resulting in the extensive introduction of surface-to-air missiles, or SAMs. Such weapons are cheaper to manufacture, simpler to maintain, and easier to operate than the vast fleet of aircraft required to defend an airspace. Though the first combat success of such weapons was during the Vietnam War, when a Soviet-designed S-75 Dvina missile shot down a USAF F-4C Phantom on 24 July 1965, it was the Yom Kippur War of 1973 which brought surface-to-air missiles to the centre stage. During this short but bitter conflict, Egyptian and Syrian air defences shot down nearly fifty Israeli aircraft in the first three days alone - almost a fourth of Israel's entire combat aircraft fleet. In all, Israel lost 104 aircraft during the war and, for the first time, more aircraft were lost to SAMs than any other cause. The age of surface-to-air missiles had dawned. In this unique examination, the author details the development of not just surface-to-air missiles, but all anti-aircraft artillery, since 1972\. The part that such equipment played in all of the major conflicts since then is explored, including the Soviet Afghan War, the Falklands War, in which Rapier was deployed, the conflict in Lebanon, Kosovo and Bosnia, the Gulf War, Operation _Desert Storm_ in 1991, and Operation _Iraqi Freedom_ in 1993\. The investigation is brought right up to date by a study of the weapons, tactics and engagements seen in the conflicts in Syria and Yemen.

Whether you accept it or not - 'Dowry' has become a curse in our country and the time has come to fight it, using the very same 'mentality' of dowry seekers. The worst part about dowry is that it has been strategically linked to 'Pride'. On one hand you have the groom's father boasting about the dowry amount received, (basking in the pride of his son's ability of attracting such an amount) and on the other hand, you have the girl's father, who pays that 'Dowry' with pride, believing it is his way of expressing his love for his daughter. Dowry today, has moved to a fairly advanced stage and is being conducted in many different & creative ways. The groom is treated like a 'Product', with the attributes and features that satisfies the needs and wants of the 'Consumer" - namely the bride's family. Both parties decide to form a relation, either as a 'Merger' or an 'Acquisition' - based on their abilities to do either. All parents are (unknowingly) following typical market strategies that a Product company uses to promote their wares in the market - which includes amongst other things, listing its attributes and features in a bid to attract prospective buyers - who conduct an "Evaluation" before finally making a 'Purchase'.

India has a vast reservoir of livestock of considerable genetic diversities. The productivity of the livestock is greatly dependent on their health status and it is indeed a challenging task to provide health care to such a gigantic population of our livestock. In order to increase the milk production from cattle a large scale cross breeding programmes with exotic germplasm has been started which has led to higher milk production along with the emergence of various diseases in our livestock, since the crossbred populations are more susceptible to various diseases in tropical climate of our country. There are various types of diseases which cause huge economic losses in dairy sector. Among them one of the important diseases is repeat breeding. Repeat breeding may occur due to number of cause such as hormonal deficiency, nutrient deficiency, microbial infection etc.
