RAA Liaison Letter 2015 - Autumn Edition 1 RAA Liaison Letter 2015 - Autumn Edition 2 RAA Liaison Letter 2015 - Autumn Edition Army Blog Encourages Debate ARMY has launched its first public blog focusing on ideas about land power, security challenges, modernisation and the future of land forces beyond 2020. Director Future Land Warfare Col Andrew Hocking and his team are responsible for the day-to-day running of the blog, which is hosted on the Army website. "The blog presents an excellent opportunity for Army personnel, academics and broader society to connect and engage online," Col Hocking said. "It's a great way for soldiers and officers to contribute their opinions and hard-earned expertise to the land power and modernisation discussion. "Blog pieces and the associated discussion will directly inform the modernisation of Army." The blog is designed to provide a discussion space for informed analysis, commentary, thoughts and ideas among military practitioners, interested stakeholders and subject matter experts. Army welcomes submissions of around 300-800 words on future land warfare issues. Submissions should make an insightful and original contribution in the form of observation, experience, fact or opinion, with enough context to make it relevant and thought-provoking for a wider audience.

It was classified as a weapon of mass destruction[6] in UN Resolution 687. Production and stockpiling of sarin was outlawed as of April 1997 by the Chemical Weapons Convention of 1993, and it is classified as a Schedule 1 substance.

By exploring the narratives dominant in the paratexts, and more specifically in the prefaces and footnotes of Persian translations, this paper examines how these have played a crucial role in reframing the narratives of Publisher(s) Western authors through paratextual material. To this end, the narratives in the paratexts have been analyzed using four framing techniques elaborated by Les Presses de l’Université de Montréal Somers and Gibson (1994) and Baker (2006), which are framing by temporality/spatiality, selective appropriation, labeling and participant ISSN positioning. The analysis of paratextual material shows that, apart from their introductory and explanatory functions, paratexts can be viewed as a kind of 0026-0452 (print) metadiscourse on the actual translations. The paper concludes that paratexts in 1492-1421 (digital) the Persian translations are used in political and ideological ways to guide target language readers and to express the appropriate interpretations, or Explore this journal deemed appropriate, by the various institutional participants involved in the translation process in Iran.
