Some of the main issues of interest to utilities were the launch of Smart Grids networks, LNG electricity, and new energy storage technologies, as well as the presentation of technological leaders who affect the global elec- tricity production and distribution market with their technological breakthroughs in the field of renewable energy, battery optimization, and electrification. In line with the theme of the conference, Aegean was part of the "Utility in a Disruptive Age" program, presenting an innovative business model that showcases the advantage of collabo- rating with Aegean as the main supplier of lubricants, thus improving the services and value of the lubricants it offers in the area. Aegean's main customer for over a year, Barbados Light and Power Company, who had a presence at the event, spoke favorably of the cooperation with Aegean as a major lubricant supplier. With its participation in this conference, Aegean gained a strong presence in the Caribbean electricity production community and strengthened its ties with key electricity customers, with the direct result of participating in new lubricant supply competitions. These are impor- tant steps in the introduction of Aegean lubricants in the Caribbean region. Colonel Juan B. Crisostomo Martinez, Head of Mission Major manufacturers such as Wärtsilä and MAN, who have certified Aegean's lubricants, with the Dominican Republic Naval Ship; were also present at CARILEC 2017.

  • The War Hitler Won: the Battle for Europe, 1939-1941
    Journal of Military and Strategic VOLUME 14, ISSUE 1, FALL 2011 Studies The War Hitler Won: The Battle for Europe, 1939-1941 Robert Citino "A Distinctive Language": The German Operational Pattern In the fall of 1939, the German army (Wehrmacht) began a run of decisive victories that was quite unlike anything in living military memory. With their fearsome tank (Panzer) formations operating as an apparently irresistible spearhead, and with a powerful air force (Luftwaffe) circling overhead, the Wehrmacht ran through or around every defensive position thrown in its path. The opening campaign in Poland (Case White) smashed the Polish army in 18 days, although a bit more fighting was necessary to reduce the capital, Warsaw.1 Equally 1 For Case White, begin with the belated "official history" commissioned by the Militärgeschichtliches Forschungsamt, Das Deutsche Reich und Der Zweite Weltkrieg, volume 2, Die Errichtung der hegemonie auf dem Europäischen Kontinent (Stuttgart: Deutsche Verlags-Anstalt, 1979), especially "Hitler's Erster 'Blitzkrieg' und seine Auswirkungen auf Nordosteuropa," pp. 79-156. Labeling this "official history" is misleading--it is far more a meticulously researched critical history by a team of crack scholars. Robert M. Kennedy, The German Campaign in Poland, 1939, Department of the Army Pamphlet no. 20-255 (Washington, DC: Department of the Army, 1956) continues to dominate the field, and Matthew Cooper, The German Army, 1933-1945 (Chelsea, MI: Scarborough House, 1978), pp. 169-176, is still useful. Both Pat McTaggart, "Poland '39," Command 17 (July-August 1992), p. 57, and David T. Zabecki, "Invasion of Poland: Campaign that Launched a War," World War II 14, no.
