( August 2017 ) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) The International Recommended Transit Corridor ( IRTC ) is a navy-patrolled route through the Gulf of Aden, measuring 490 nautical miles (910 km) long and 20 nautical miles (37 km) wide. According to the fourth volume of the handbook Best Management Practices to Deter Piracy off the Coast of Somalia and in the Arabian Sea Area (known as BMP4), the current authoritative guide for merchant ships on self-defense against pirates issued and updated by Oil Companies International Marine Forum (OCIMF), it is encouraged that vessels register their voyages through the region with the Maritime Security Centre – Horn of Africa (MSCHOA) as this registration is a key component of the operation of the International Recom

元帥杖

本条目 需要擴充。 (2010年1月2日) 请協助改善这篇條目,更進一步的信息可能會在討論頁或扩充请求中找到。请在擴充條目後將此模板移除。 元帥杖 是元帥階級的軍人所專有,表現其地位與榮譽的道具。元帥杖有分兩種,一種是在正式場合所帶的正式權杖( Marschallstab ),另一種則是較為輕便的臨時權杖( Interimstab )。世界上以納粹德國的元帥杖較有名,而大日本帝國則以元帥刀代替元帥杖。 目录 1 概要 2 國家 2.1 納粹德國 2.2 大日本帝國 3 参见 4 資料來源 5 外部連結 概要 元帥杖的來源是來自古羅馬帝國時期,將帥用來收藏命令書的傳令筒,後來因為羅馬官員之間奢華風氣所影響,將帥們在傳令筒上鑲上黃金和寶石以及藝術雕刻,把筒子變得華麗以顯示自己的尊貴的身份。直到近現代時期,軍隊不再使用傳令筒,卻演變成歐洲國家軍隊的元帥用來顯示身份象徵的儀仗用品。 國家 納粹德國 二戰結束後,德軍將領的元帥杖紛紛落入不同人手中,大部分都被收於國家博物館中,也有私人收藏者。已知下落的有:戈林、魏克斯、里希特霍芬存於美國、邓尼茨存於英國什羅普軍團博物館、莫德尔、舍纳尔收於巴伐利亚军队博物馆、克莱斯特收藏於柏林德国历史博物馆、克魯格的元帥杖則是收於默斯特的裝甲坦克博物館。费多尔·冯·博克的元帥杖則屬私人擁有,賴歇瑙的元帥杖則是在坐飛機失事時摔碎了。 另外,英國准將德瑞克·米爾希·羅伯特(Derek Mills-Roberts)看到伯根-貝爾森集中營的慘狀相當生氣,拿德國空軍元帥艾爾哈德·米爾希的元帥杖毆打米爾希,打到頭部骨折,並將其身上的財物奪走,元帥杖也被打斷。 [1] [2] 戈林的帝國元帥杖,是德軍唯一一支有鑲嵌鑽石的元帥杖,現存於美國國家步兵博物館(National Infantry Museum)。 空軍元帥沃爾弗拉姆·馮·里希特霍芬的元帥杖。 海軍元帥埃里希·雷德爾的元帥正照, 大日本帝國 参见 轻便手杖 資料來源 ^ THE BATON THAT

Prior to 1 January 2005 it was known as Standing Naval Force Atlantic ( STANAVFORLANT ). The group was also briefly called the Standing NATO Response Force Maritime Group One. SNMG1 consists of four to six destroyers and frigates. The force operates, trains and exercises as a group, providing day-to-day verification of current NATO maritime procedures, tactics and effectiveness. Ships are usually attached to the force for up to six months, on a rotating basis. Units of one nation do not necessarily relieve ships of the same nation. The force commander and the staff are appointed for one year, with the force commander rotating among the

Tactile paving

A set of yellow truncated domes can be seen on the down-ramp in a parking lot. Tactile paving (also called truncated domes , detectable warnings , Tactile Ground Surface Indicators , Tactile Walking Surface Indicators , detectable warning surfaces ) is a system of textured ground surface indicator found on footpaths, stairs and train station platforms to assist pedestrians who are visually impaired. Tactile warnings provide a distinctive surface pattern of truncated domes, cones or bars detectable by long cane or underfoot which are used to alert the visually impaired of approaching streets and hazardous surface or grade changes. There is a disagreement in the design and user community as to whether installing this aid inside buildings may cause a tripping hazard. A system of tactile paving was first instituted at pedestrian crossings and other hazardous road situations by Japan; the United Kingdom, Australia and the United States picked up the standard in the early 1990s,
