# Lancaster pistol

The Lancaster pistol was a multi-barrelled (2 or 4 barrels) handgun produced in England in the mid to late 19th century, chambered in a variety of centrefire pistol calibres—chiefly .38 S&W, .450 Adams, .455 Webley, and .577 inch. The designer, London gunsmith Charles Lancaster, began his career in 1847 as an apprentice to his father, Charles Sr. During the 1850s he invented oval bore rifling and the gas check bullet.

## Description

It was a modernised version of the pepper-box pistol popular in the early-mid 19th century. Unlike these earlier guns which had percussion cap ignition, the Lancaster was chambered for the more modern brass cartridges. The unique oval rifling also enabled it to fire .410 shotgun shells. It had a faster rate of fire than the standard-issue Adams revolver and was often fitted with a Tranter-type trigger to overcome the heavy pull of the revolving striker.
Sometimes classified as a howdah pistol, the Lancaster pistol enjoyed popularity with British officers in India and Africa during the British Raj owing to its faster rate of fire and increased reliability over contemporary revolvers. It was highly prized by hunters and explorers for close range defense against big game such as tigers or cape buffalo. Unlike revolvers, it does not leak gas when fired since there is no gap between the chamber and the barrel. One rare variant, made for the Maharajah of Rewa as a hunting weapon, took the form of a four barreled rifle.

### Use in Sudan

Its ammunition had greater stopping power than the contemporary Beaumont–Adams and Colt Navy revolvers, making it ideal for colonial warfare. When facing charging tribesmen like the Zulus or Ansar (the so-called Sudanese Dervishes), more modern ammunition tended to go straight through the enemy who would keep going. What was needed was a heavy lead bullet that would lodge in their body and bring them down. One famous user was the photographer and film maker Lieutenant Colonel John M. B. Stanford, who killed a fanatical assegai-wielding Sudanese Ansar with a Lancaster pistol while working as a war correspondent at the Battle of Omdurman.
It was eventually displaced by the various Webley revolvers in the late 19th century as revolvers became more reliable and faster to reload, thus removing many of the advantages of the multi-barrel design.

## In popular culture

A double-barreled Lancaster howdah pistol with a unique spring-loaded blade is the weapon of the big-game hunter Remington in The Ghost and the Darkness.
The Lancaster pistol exists as the Howdah Pistol in the 2016 video game Battlefield 1.
The Lancaster pistol appears in the 2024 video game Nightingale by Inflexion Games.
# 2015 Park Palace guesthouse attack

vteWar in Afghanistan (2001–2021) :
On 13 May 2015, three gunmen stormed the Park Palace guesthouse in Kabul, Afghanistan. The attack is believed to be part of the Taliban's annual spring offensive against NATO's presence in the country.

## Background

Shortly before a concert was due to begin, three gunmen stormed the Park Palace Guest House in Kabul. The event was being attended primarily by foreign nationals from Turkey and India but with some US and European nationals in attendance as well. The guesthouse was likely targeted as part of the Taliban's common modus operandi to attack compounds hosting foreigners, which would not mark the first such attack by the Taliban in Afghanistan.
Recent attacks targeting foreigners as well as the March 2015 arrest of a commander of what US and other officials formerly called the "Kabul Attack Network" had previously highlighted a potential for future targeting of foreign, particularly NATO-based nationals in the anticipated spring offensive launched annually by the Taliban. The Indian ambassador to Afghanistan, Amar Sinha, was also believed to be inside the hotel at the particular time, which may have made the location more high-profile.

## Victims

Deaths by nationality :
| Country | Number |
| Afghanistan | 4 |
| India | 4 |
| Pakistan | 2 |
| Italy | 1 |
| Kazakhstan | 1 |
| United States | 1 |
| United Kingdom | 1 |
| Total | 14 |

## Siege

Three gunmen entered as a party was being hosted in honour of a Canadian during a performance by an Indian national. A survivor of the attack who fled the premises initially gave media reports of up to forty foreigners possibly trapped inside, with Indian officials confirming at least six of their nationals at the guesthouse. Police officers had initially freed twenty individuals from inside the guesthouse, according to Afghan officials.
Norwegian special forces from Marinejegerkommandoen and Afghan security forces ended the operation shortly after midnight, killing the three assailants while rescuing over fifty people, including trapped guests and employees. Five deaths had initially been confirmed by Afghan security agencies, with the death toll rising to fourteen the next day as the hotel was searched for more persons. The highly respected American aid expert Paula Kantor lost her life shortly after the attack, due to her injuries.

## International reactions

* India - After receiving news of the attack while on a three-day visit to China, Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted that he was "concerned about the situation" and offered his condolences via Twitter to Afghan President Mohammad Ashraf Ghani.
* United Kingdom - After announcing a British casualty, Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond was quoted as saying that "these callous acts of terrorism against innocent civilians must not be allowed to threaten the future of a more peaceful Afghanistan."

# Nopcsaspondylus

Nopcsaspondylus (meaning "Nopcsa's vertebra", in reference to the original describer) is a genus of rebbachisaurid sauropod dinosaur (a type of large, long-necked quadrupedal herbivorous dinosaur) from the Cenomanian-age (Upper Cretaceous) Candeleros Formation of Neuquén, Argentina. It is based on a now-lost back vertebra described by Nopcsa in 1902 but not named at the time. The specimen had a small vertebral body and large hollows, now known to be typical of rebbachisaurids.

## History of research

The only known specimen of Nopcsaspondylus is a fossilized dorsal vertebra collected in 1889 by Slovenian researcher Hugo Zapałowicz and transferred to the geological collection of the University of Vienna. The first person known to study the specimen, Hungarian paleontologist Franz Nopcsa von Felső-Szilvás, described it in a 1902 publication and recognized it as belonging to a sauropod dinosaur, assigning it to the genus Bothriospondylus. According to Nopcsa, the label on the fossil stated that it was collected on the left bank of the Limay River in Argentina, about 80 kilometers south of the confluence of the Limay and Neuquén rivers. A year later, American paleontologist John Bell Hatcher claimed that this vertebra was indistinguishable from those of Haplocanthosaurus, a sauropod known from Colorado, and that while the Argentine vertebra does not undoubtedly represent the same genus as the Colorado material, the two are very similar in structure. The vertebra would next be studied by German paleontologist Friedrich von Huene, who wrote a monograph published in 1929 in which he reassigns the material to the species Titanosaurus australis, and the locality from which it originates is named as Alarcón for the first time.
The Nopcsaspondylus specimen would not be published on again until the release of The Dinosauria in 1990, in which the vertebra was deemed similar to those found in northern Africa of Rebbachisaurus garasbae, supposedly extending the range of the Rebbachisaurus genus into South America as well. Five years afterwards, Argentine paleontologists Jorge O. Calvo and Leonardo Salgado described a new species which they named Rebbachisaurus tessonei (currently moved to the genus Limaysaurus), the specimens of which originate from the same locality (now named as Barda Alarcón) as the vertebra first described by Nopcsa 93 years prior. They therefore claimed that Nopcsa's specimen, at this point already considered lost, was a vertebra of R. tessonei.
In 2007, Argentine paleontologist Sebastián Apesteguía became the first author to recognize that the vertebra described by Nopcsa represents a new genus and species, and thus named this species as Nopcsaspondylus alarconensis. The generic name combines the surname of the first researcher to study it with the Greek word σπονδυλος (spondylus, meaning "vertebra"), while the specific name refers to Barda Alarcón, the locality where the fossil was discovered.
# Randy Gingera

Randal ("Randy") John Gingera (born April 25, 1968, in Calgary, Alberta) is a former long-time member of the Canada men's national volleyball team and University of Calgary Dinos star volleyball player.

A 6'2 right-handed outside hitter, Gingera was a member of the Canadian team that finished tenth at the 1992 Summer Olympics. The team however lost a very close 5-set match to the United States as well as two other 5-set matches and narrowly missed on advancing to the tournament's quarterfinals. He was a member of the national team for eight years and also played professionally for six, two years each in Belgium, Japan, and France. In France he played for Tourcoing in 1996-7 and the following season, Stade Poitevin.

# Brüno Gehard

Brüno Gehard (German pronunciation:; (“Gay-hard”) sometimes spelled Bruno or Brueno) is a satirical fictional character portrayed by English comedian Sacha Baron Cohen. A flamboyantly gay fashion reporter from Austria, Brüno first appeared during short sketches on Paramount Comedy 1 in 1998, before reappearing on a 2003 episode of Da Ali G Show. Following the success of Ali G Indahouse and Borat, Universal Studios gained the rights to produce and release a 2009 feature film about the character, also called Brüno. The character has since been retired.

## Eminem incident

In May 2009, Brüno appeared at the MTV Movie Awards, dressed as an angel with wings strapped to his buttocks as he descended on wires from the ceiling. As part of a prank, after an alleged equipment malfunction, he was lowered onto rapper Eminem who was seated directly beneath him. Brüno landed in Eminem's lap in a 69-esque position, with his exposed buttocks in Eminem's face. Members of D12 helped to remove Brüno. Eminem and D12 then stormed out of the ceremony. Eminem appeared surprised and angry about the prank, but both he and Baron Cohen later claimed that the incident had been staged and rehearsed by the two. Eminem told reporters that he laughed uncontrollably for three hours in his hotel room afterward.

## Reaction

The 2009 feature film Brüno was well received by The Guardian, who described him as "howlingly funny, staggeringly rude, brutally incorrect and very often just brilliant".

### LGBT response

Some LGBT groups have criticized the character as perpetuating LGBT stereotypes. "Sacha Baron Cohen's well-meaning attempt at satire is problematic in many places and outright offensive in others," Rashad Robinson, senior director of media programmes for the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) told The New York Times.

### Ayman Abu Aita lawsuit

Baron Cohen appeared as Brüno on Late Show with David Letterman in July 2009, where he made reference to Ayman Abu Aita (whom Brüno interviewed in the film) as a terrorist. Abu Aita was identified in the film as a member of al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, a Palestinian terrorist organization responsible for numerous suicide bombings. Abu Aita claimed that he was never a member of the group, though he had identified as such in a 2002 Boston Globe article. He had also served two years in an Israeli prison for his role in the Second Intifada. Abu Aita made plans to sue, saying that he was misled and that he did not sign release forms for the footage of him that appeared in the film. Baron Cohen increased his security detail after WorldNetDaily claimed to receive a statement from al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades threatening his life following the premiere of the film. In December 2009, Abu Aita sued Baron Cohen and Letterman at a federal court in Washington, D.C. In November 2010, the lawsuit was dismissed in D.C. so it could be refiled in the Supreme Court of New York, which also dismissed it in July 2012.

# Russian ship Trekh Ierarkhov (1838)

Trekh Ierarkhov was a Sultan Makhmud-class ship of the line built for the Imperial Russian Navy's Black Sea Fleet in the late 1830s. The ship had a relatively uneventful career, frequently being used as a troop transport including during campaigns in the Caucasus in the early 1840s to suppress unrest in the recently-conquered territory. She saw little activity after being laid up in 1845; considered for conversion to steam power in 1852, she was instead broken up in 1854 due to her poor condition and the lack of funds during the Crimean War.

## Design

The eight Sultan Makhmud-class ships of the line were ordered as part of a naval expansion program aimed at strengthening the Russian Black Sea Fleet during a period of increased tension with Britain and France over the decline of one of Russia's traditional enemies, the Ottoman Empire. Beginning in the 1830s, Russia ordered a series of 84-gun ships in anticipation of a future conflict, and the Sultan Makhmuds accounted for nearly half of the nineteen vessels built.
Trekh Ierarkhov was 196 feet (60 m) long, with a beam of 53 ft 6 in (16.31 m) and a draft of 23 ft 8 in (7.21 m) to 26 ft 7 in (8.10 m). She displaced 3,790 metric tons (3,730 long tons; 4,180 short tons) and measured 2,500 tons burthen. The ship was built with a round stern to increase its strength.
The ship carried a battery of twenty-six 36-pounder long guns on the lower gun deck and another thirty-two 36-pound short-barreled guns on the upper gun deck. In her forecastle and quarterdeck, she mounted six 18-pound gunnades and twenty 36-pound carronades.

## Service history

The keel for Trekh Ierarkhov was laid down at the S. I. Chernyavskiy shipyard in Nikolaev on 19 November 1836. She was launched on 28 August 1838 and was completed by 1839 when she sailed to Sevastopol. In September that year, she received her armament and then began sea trials; From 1840 to 1841, Trekh Ierarkhov participated in a lengthy operation to transport Imperial Russian Army troops to newly conquered fortifications in the Caucasus area that had been seized during the Russo-Turkish War of 1828–1829. During this period, the former Ottoman subjects revolted against Russian rule, and the soldiers were needed to suppress the restive population.
Trekh Ierarkhov remained in active service with the fleet for the next several years, and in 1843, she assisted with the transport of the 13th Division from Sevastopol to Odessa and back. The ship was laid up in 1845 and was reactivated in 1847 to once again to help carry the 13th Division to Odessa and back. Laid up again in 1848, she returned to active service in 1849 to patrol the Black Sea. She was repaired in 1852 and considered for conversion into a steam-powered ship, but her poor condition by 1854 and the lack of funds in the midst of the Crimean War led to her being dismantled that year.
