Regulations for the Order and Discipline of the Troops of the United States
The Regulations for the Order and Discipline of the Troops of the United States or Blue Book is an American army book from the Revolutionary War. It is about how to teach soldiers to be good soldiers. Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben wrote the first version in 1777 and 1778 at Valley Forge. George Washington, Alexander Hamilton and other officers in the Continental Army helped. Von Steuben rewrote the book a year later.
At Valley Forge in the winter of 1777-1778, Acting Inspector General von Steuben saw that many Continental officers gave their men different drills. Drills are practice exercises. Using different drills meant the men might become confused in a real battle. Von Steuben wrote new drills for the whole army. He wrote them French. His aide-de-camp, Pierre Ettienne Duponceau, and George Washington's aides-de-camp, Alexander Hamilton and John Laurens rewrote them in English. General George Washington would read the drills and make changes. They gave each lesson to the officers one at a time. Then the officers or their helpers made their own copies. Then van Steuben and the officers would use the drills with the men.
The next year, in Philadelphia, von Steuben wrote down his Valley Forge drills in one book. He wrote it in French. Lieutenant Colonel Francois de Fleury helped. Then Captain Benjamin Walker and Duponceu rewrote the book in English. Captain Pierre Charles L'Enfant drew the pictures.
Congress decided to use the book starting in 1779. The American military used the Blue Book until 1814.

Base and superstructure
According to Marxism, society is made up of the base (substructure) and the superstructure. These two parts influence each other.
The base (economy) is made up of the means of production (such as land, factories, raw materials) and the relations of production, or the social relations people enter in order to survive (such as being an employer or an employee or what social class someone is part of).
The superstructure (ideology) is made up of the non-material things (such as institutions, laws, religion, culture) that make up society and shape how people think about themselves and their place in the world. The superstructure shows the interests of the ruling class.
The base shapes the superstructure. The superstructure defends how the base operates. For example, in capitalism, schools teach students why capitalism is good and how to participate in a capitalist economy.
The base and the superstructure need each other to exist. They also change over time.

Papurana
Papurana is a genus of frogs in the family Ranidae, "true frogs." They live in New Guinea, some islands near New Guinea, and in northern Australia. "Papurana daemeli" is the only frog in Ranidae that lives in Australia.
Scientists first named "Papurana" as a subgenus of "Rana". At times, they have said it was a subgenus of "Hylarana". In 2015, Oliver and colleagues looked at "Hylarana" closely and said it should have only a few species in it. They said "Papurana" should be its own genus.
"Papurana" frogs have a mask mark behind their eyes, their body shape, strong wavy stripes on the backs of their thighs, and either no dorsolateral folds or very thin folds, with rough spots. The back is evenly roughened to warty and sometimes has small spikes. The frogs are medium to very large in size. Male frogs have paired, external organs for making sounds.
There are 18 species:
"Papurana elberti", "Papurana florensis", and "Papurana moluccana" are only provisionally allocated to "Papurana", meaning scientists want to collect more data on their bodies and genes before deciding.

Isolation for the purpose of abuse
Isolation is often used to get more power over a person. This power is then used for abuse. Isolating the victim from the outside world is important to get psychological control over the victim. Isolation reduces the opportunity of the victim to be rescued. It will also make the victim more dependent on the abuser.
This includes controlling a persons social activity: the people they see, the people they talk to, and the places they visit. Sometimes it also includes controlling the material they read. It can also include wanting to know where the victim is. Very often, a victim has to get permission to get medical treatment.
Isolation is often combined with other forms of abuse:
Cults often use these techniques.
Divide and conquer, also called divide and rule, is a strategy to gain and maintain power. This is done by breaking up bigger groups into smaller ones, The smaller groups are easier to control. The original Latin phrase is divide et impera (which translates as 'divide and command'),

Class consciousness
In Marxism, class consciousness is one's awareness (consciousness) of where one belongs in a system of social classes.
According to Marx, there are two classes in capitalism. They are the bourgeoisie and the proletariat. The bourgeoisie take advantage of the proletariat and control the means of production. The proletariat class has more people than the bourgeoisie but do not own the means of production. The proletariat are usually workers.
According to Marxism, many members of the proletariat class have false consciousness. That means they usually think about themselves and are not aware of the class struggle going on in society or how the proletariat is being hurt by the bourgeoisie. An example of false consciousness would be the idea of the American Dream.
When enough members of the proletariat have class consciousness, they will be able to unite and overthrow the capitalist system.
