The People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) of China follows a specific convention for naming its ships, which is largely based on geographical features such as cities, mountains, rivers, and provinces. For instance, aircraft carriers are named after provinces, and destroyers and frigates are named after cities. However, there are rare exceptions to this rule where ships are named after individuals. These exceptions include training vessels like the "Deng Shichang" and "Zheng He," as well as research ships such as the "Li Siguang." It is not common practice for the PLAN to name larger, combat-operations-focused vessels after individuals. This approach to naming is in contrast to some Western navies, where it's more common to find ships named after notable figures, both historical and living. The naming conventions of naval ships can reflect the cultural and historical values of a nation, and in the case of the PLAN, it underscores the emphasis on collective representation over individual recognition.

 The Samnites were a confederation of tribes who lived in the mountainous region of central and southern Italy, known as Samnium. They spoke an Oscan language and were closely related to the Campanians, who had migrated from Samnium to the fertile plains of Campania. The Samnites were fierce warriors who often clashed with their neighbours, especially the Romans, who sought to expand their territory and influence in Italy. The Samnites and the Romans fought three wars between 343 and 290 BC, which are known as the Samnite Wars. The first war started when the Campanians asked Rome for protection against a Samnite attack. The Romans agreed and sent an embassy to the Samnites, demanding that they leave Campania alone. The Samnites refused and the war began. The war ended in 341 BC with a peace treaty that restored the status quo, but gave Rome control of Campania. The second war, also called the Great Samnite War, broke out in 326 BC when Rome tried to colonize Fregellae, a town on th...

 One of the key factors that influenced the outcome of the American Revolutionary War was the British strategy of dividing and conquering the colonies. The main architects of this strategy were General John Burgoyne and General Henry Clinton, who had different views on how to achieve this goal. Burgoyne favored a direct and aggressive approach, while Clinton preferred a more cautious and flexible one. In this essay, I will examine how the war might have turned out differently if either Burgoyne or Clinton had had control of British strategy during the conflict. Burgoyne's plan was to lead an army from Canada southward along the Hudson River, cutting off New England from the rest of the colonies. He hoped to meet up with another army under Clinton, who was supposed to advance northward from New York City. However, Clinton was reluctant to abandon his base and expose himself to a possible attack from Washington's army. He also had orders from London to send troops to the south, w...

 Good evening. Please write an essay with full citations on one of the following topics: a) Are Norton extensions safe? Can you get spyware from Norton extensions? Are you at risk from spyware from extensions in general? Norton extensions are browser add-ons that provide security and privacy features, such as blocking malicious websites, phishing, and tracking. They are designed to protect users from spyware, which is a type of malware that can monitor and steal personal information, such as passwords, credit card numbers, and browsing habits. However, Norton extensions are not immune to vulnerabilities and flaws that could compromise their functionality and expose users to spyware. For example, in 2019, researchers found that some Norton extensions had a critical flaw that allowed attackers to execute arbitrary code on the user's browser and access sensitive data (Zhang et al., 2019). Therefore, users should always keep their Norton extensions updated and review their permissions ...
