Syria has sent thousands of troops to the border with Lebanon, including rocket units. This was reported to Reuters news agency by five Syrian army officers, a Syrian security official and two Lebanese security officials.

The Syrian officers said the reinforcement operation began in February but accelerated in recent days, amid escalation surrounding the war and the resumption of fighting between Israel and Hezbollah.

The Syrian officers, including a senior military official, said the move is intended to prevent weapons and drug smuggling and to block Hezbollah from infiltrating into Syria.

Writing a paper for class, in IEEE format. In-text citations use [x] where x is the number of the reference. Professor is strict about references being numbered based on order of appearance (first reference is [1], second reference is [2], etc). This makes it really hard to input newly found references in previously written sections, since then I have to go through and change all the previous ones to [x+1]. Is there a program or feature that helps with this?

Edit: Hey everyone thanks for the recommendations! I really do appreciate it.

Folks, CALM DOWN, this is still in the workshopping phase ok? First we bomb them, then we workshop WHY we bombed them, do you not understand the plan!?

Democrats, predictably, were apoplectic. “There was no imminent threat to the United States of America by the Iranians,” said Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate intelligence committee, who had received classified briefings from Rubio. “There was a threat to Israel. If we equate a threat to Israel as the equivalent of an imminent threat to the United States, then we are in uncharted territory.”

Well, if we were to equate the threat of icebergs to an imminent threat to our ship, then we would be in uncharted territory! - a well dressed crew member with an officer's hat calmly explains to a passenger.

I know the demographics around here, so I know everyone's just going to put "nothing lol", but please understand what I'm asking first.

I'm physically incapable of driving a car. I stand to gain immeasurably from a world that didn't assume everyone owned one. Having loved-ones with respiratory issues aggravated by car exhaust has made me very aware of the health issues surrounding the burning of fossil fuels, and having to navigate sidewalkless suburban stroads on a regular basis and juggle poorly funded public transit has made it very clear to me that pedestrians are second class citizens. I could go on and on about the mess cars have made of urban planning, and the number of jobs I couldn't take because they required driving, but I digress.

In short, I hate cars just as much as the rest of you. But I'm also conscious that a lot of other people feel differently. What does widespread car ownership enable that would be difficult or impossible otherwise?

As an American I'm familiar with the cultural aura that surrounds the automobile. One of the early episodes of Mythbusters explained this pretty well while digging into the folklore surrounding a particular car-related urban legend. Cars represent freedom and self determination, two qualities highly prized in American society. You can go where you want when you want, without relying on schedules and routes mandated by public transit[^1].

Looking at more tangible things, I suppose hauling a bunch of stuff from point A to point B would be hard without a car.

But what else am I missing?

[^1]: Ignoring the fact you can only go where there are roads, and someone has to build and maintain those roads.

Foley said: "Microsoft officials have said to expect agents, as they proliferate in the enterprise, to need to be licensed in ways similar to human employees."

While agents might not need the same salaries or benefits as human workers, they certainly need licenses.

It'd be like silk road but for cranking your sore meat to videos of milfs pretending to fuck their step sons. Imagine how many red faced gammon men in the UK would clamor for this??
