An invasion is a military action consisting of armed forces of one geopolitical entity entering territory controlled by another such entity, generally with the objective of conquering territory or altering the established government. An invasion can be the cause of a war, it can be used as a part of a larger strategy to end a war, or it can constitute an entire war in and of itself. The term usually connotes a strategic endeavor of substantial magnitude; because the goals of an invasion are usually large-scale and long-term, large forces are needed to hold territory and protect the interests of the invading entity. Smaller and lighter tactical infiltrations are not generally considered invasions, being more often classified as skirmishes, sorties, targeted killings, assassinations or reconnaissance in force. By definition, an invasion is an attack from outside forces. As such, rebellions, civil wars, coups d'etat, and internal acts of democide or other acts of oppression are generally not considered invasions. (more...)

A series of images demonstrating a focus bracket, a technique useful in situations with limited depth of field, such as macro photography, where one combines the in-focus portions of multiple exposures digitally. The image on the left shows a single shot taken at f/11 with the features of the Wolf spider closest to the camera. The center image shows the features farthest from the camera. The image on the right shows a sequence of 8 incrementally focused images of the spider assembled to make a composite image in Adobe Photoshop.

Featured list: List of New Jersey Devils head coaches

This is a list of New Jersey Devils head coaches. There have been 14 head coaches of the New Jersey Devils since the team moved to New Jersey for the 1982-83 NHL season. Tom McVie, Larry Robinson and Lou Lamoriello have each had two tenures as coach. Three different coaches have led the team to victory in the Stanley Cup Finals: Jacques Lemaire in 1995, Robinson in 2000, and Pat Burns in 2003. Lemaire is the all-time leader in games coached and wins; Burns leads all coaches in winning percentage (with at least one full season coached). In addition, several former players have worked for the Devils as assistant coaches, including John MacLean and Bobby Carpenter, the only men whose names are inscribed on the Stanley Cup as both a player and a coach with New Jersey. The current coach is Brent Sutter, who was hired on July 12, 2007.
