Shield (shield)

Transparent hut model of 1429

Pavilion or transom, with pavese - a kind of quadrilateral, high (even to the height of an adult's shoulders), with a vertical bump in the center. Heavy, made of wood covered with top sheet or leather, decorated with murals. On the inside, most of them had belts similar to the harness for transport, and in the middle of the handle was a handle large enough to hold it with both hands. Often, the lower edge of the disc was provided with a spur or spur, allowing the disc to be immobilized by pushing it into the ground; In addition, a wooden stand was sometimes used on the substrate. At times, it also had a cutout (viewfinder) at the top, which facilitated the use of crossbows or firearms. In the variant used for the driving formation, it had a cut to facilitate the use of the copy.

She appeared in the 13th century in the Mazovia, Prussia and Lithuania as a shield of riding, but later she was used more often by infantry; It was particularly useful in the siege, as a cover for the temples, and later, the army using primitive firearms and tibia and hooks. The name of the shield comes from the Italian city of Pavia, where it was brought by hired knights fighting in the ranks of the Teutonic Order.

Shields used by the police to disperse crowds are similar to the transom.

indexation

-
Indexing (Latin) - a system of linking wages, prices or interest rates to a specific economic indicator (usually the base inflation rate), a change in the value of this indicator results in a proportional change in wages, prices or interest rates. The indexation can also be described as a conversion of a parameter value (eg pay) based on an indicator showing the change in a factor affecting the value of the parameter (eg inflation). Application The indexation is applied by the state - eg when paying pensions - with the increase in inflation the nominal value of the service increases. The state should also index the boundaries of the tax brackets. When it does not, citizens nominally earn more, but they also "fall into" higher and higher tax brackets, for which they have to pay higher taxes. In addition, when the state does not ideate a tax-free amount, citizens actually pay more and more taxes because the tax base increases. Indexes are used by banks - with the increas...
