# Padrão de D. João I

The Padrão de D. João I, also referred to as Padrão de Aljubarrota or Padrão de São Lázaro, is a monument at the end of the D. João I Street, in front of the Saint Lazarus Chapel, in the freguesia of Creixomil, Guimarães, Portugal.
The original monument is believed to have been erected to commemorate the Portuguese victory at the Battle of Aljubarrota, following King John I's entry into Guimarães in 1386, with construction of the standard beginning that year or the next. Although the current standard is not the original 15th-century one, nor are there any known records of its replacement, the existing monument was built sometime in the first half of the 16th century, possibly created following King Manuel I's foral in 1517.
It is classified as a National Monument since 1910, and located at the Guimarães Historic Centre Heritage Site since 2001.

## Description

Simple steps lead to the centre of the Padrão, where there is a cross with a floriated cross carved in Ançã stone. It's shaped as a Baldachin and it follows the Manueline style. Under the baldachin, is the image of Christ crucified. On the reverse, slightly lower down, is the depiction of the suffering Virgin Mary with the dead Christ in her lap.

## History

There are several versions attempting to explain the origin of this monument, erected by John I of Portugal in fulfillment of a promise made to Saint Mary of Guimarães. It is unclear whether this was for the victory of the Portuguese forces at the Battle of Aljubarrota in 1385 or, later, for the Conquest of Ceuta in 1415.
The current structure is not the original and although there is no known record of its replacement by the current one, the current padrão is a work formally dated to the first half of the 16th century, and possibly made following the confirmation of Guimarães' foral by King Manuel in 1517.
In 1843, the Padrão was in a state of ruin and was repaired by the Municipal Council. Shortly after, in 1863, due to the need to align the street leading to Famalicão, it was moved slightly further back and it is installed in its current location since 29 August 1864.
It was repaired in 1935 and restored in 1979, however the entire structure was vandalized in February 1996, and the cross in the center of the monument was once more destroyed on 30 July 2024.
# 2024 Sri Lanka floods

Between May and June 2024, heavy monsoon rains in Sri Lanka would lead to flash floods, mudslides, and falling trees across the western and southern parts of the island. The floods killed at least 16 people and affected 20 out of the country's 25 districts, with some areas reporting over 400 mm (16 in) of rain. At least five people were injured by mudslides in Ratnapura, over 12,000 homes were damaged, and over 6,000 people needed to be evacuated.

## Impact
### Casualties

Fifteen people were killed. The dead include three members of the same family who drowned near the capital Colombo, an 11-year-old girl. and a 20-year-old man who was buried alive in the mudslide, and nine others who were crushed to death by falling trees.

### Displacement

The floods displaced thousands of people. More than 5,000 people were taken to 52 temporary shelters. About 4,000 homes were damaged, and 28 were completely destroyed.

### Education

The floods also affected education in the country. All schools in the country were closed as a result of the floods, affecting about 4 million children.

## Response

The Sri Lanka Army was mobilised to provide relief to the affected people. Rescue teams were deployed in the affected areas and essential items were provided to the children and families. Save the Children supported the government's response efforts.

## Aftermath

The aftermath of the flood saw rebuilding and rehabilitation efforts. Sri Lankan President Ranil Wickremesinghe indicated that houses destroyed by the flood would be rebuilt within two months with the help of the armed forces, police, and government.

# 1996 cruise missile strikes on Iraq

The 1996 cruise missile strikes on Iraq, codenamed Operation Desert Strike, were joint United States Navy–United States Air Force strikes conducted on 3 September against air defense targets in southern Iraq, in response to an Iraqi offensive in the Kurdish Civil War.

## Iraqi offensive

On 31 August 1996, the Iraqi military launched its biggest offensive since 1991 against the city of Erbil in to defuse the Kurdish Civil War between the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan and Kurdistan Democratic Party. This attack stoked American fears and placed Iraqi president Saddam Hussein in clear violation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 688 forbidding repression of Iraq's ethnic minorities.

## Cruise missile strikes

The strikes were initially planned to be by aircraft launched from the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson, including aircraft from Fighter Squadron 11 (VF-11) and Fighter Squadron 31 (VF-31), both operating F-14D Tomcats; Electronic Attack Squadron 139 (VAQ-139), operating EA-6B Prowlers; Attack Squadron 196 (VA-196), operating A-6E SWIP Intruders equipped with the Target Recognition and Attack Multi-Sensor (TRAM) system; Anti-Submarine Squadron 35 (VS-35) flying S-3B Vikings; and Strike Fighter Squadron 113 (VFA-113) and Strike Fighter Squadron 25 (VFA-25), both operating F/A-18C Hornets. However the strike was instead launched by U.S. Navy surface warships and U.S. Air Force (USAF) bombers, using cruise missiles.
On 3 September 1996, a joint operation by the U.S. Navy's Carl Vinson Carrier Battle Group and the USAF, a combined strike team consisting of the guided-missile cruiser USS Shiloh, the guided-missile destroyer USS Laboon, and B-52 Stratofortress bombers escorted by F-14D Tomcat fighters from Carl Vinson, with the nuclear-powered guided-missile cruiser USS California serving as Air Warfare Commander, launched 27 cruise missiles against Iraqi air defense targets in southern Iraq. A second wave of 17 missiles was launched later that day from the destroyers USS Russell, USS Hewitt, USS Laboon, and the nuclear-powered attack submarine USS Jefferson City. The missiles hit targets in and around Kut, Iskandariyah, Nasiriyah, and Tallil.

## Aftermath

It is debatable whether the attacks did or did not have a substantial effect on Iraq's northern campaign. Once they installed the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) in control of Irbil, Iraqi troops withdrew from the Kurdish region back to their initial positions. The KDP drove the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) from its other strongholds, and with additional Iraqi help, captured Sulaymaniyah. The PUK and its leader, Jalal Talabani, retreated to the border, and U.S. forces evacuated 700 Iraqi National Congress personnel and 6,000 pro-Western Kurds out of northern Iraq.
In response to Iraq's moves, the United States and United Kingdom also expanded Operation Southern Watch and the southern Iraqi no-fly zones from the 32nd parallel to the 33rd parallel, bringing it to the edges of Baghdad itself.

## History

The area formed part of Poland since the establishment of the state in the 10th century. Niepart was a private village of Polish nobility, administratively located in the Kościan County in the Poznań Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province of the Kingdom of Poland. It was annexed by Prussia in the Second Partition of Poland in 1793. It was regained by Poles in 1807 and included within the short-lived Duchy of Warsaw, and after the duchy's dissolution in 1815, the village was reannexed by Prussia, and was also part of Germany from 1871. Following World War I, Poland regained independence and control of the village.
Following the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, the village was occupied by Germany until 1945 and local Poles were subjected to various crimes. The administrator of the local estate was among Poles murdered in a public execution perpetrated by the German Einsatzgruppe VI in the nearby town of Krobia on October 21, 1939, as part of the Intelligenzaktion. In 1941, the occupiers carried out expulsions of Poles, who were either deported to forced labour in Germany or enslaved as forced labour of new German colonists in the county. Houses and farms of expelled Poles were handed over to new German colonists as part of the Lebensraum policy.

# Koirengei Airfield

Koirengei Airfield (also known as Imphal Main) is a defunct airport located in the Imphal Valley, India. It served as an important place during the Battle of Imphal as it received supplies and reinforcements.

## History

During the Second World War on 10 May 1942, the Japanese bombed the town of Imphal which did not have an airport at the time. Therefore a decision was made, on 1942, the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) begun construction of the airfield, and completed it in 1943. The land needed for this airfield was acquired from its owners and also the State Government. Due to this, compensations were paid by the Army Department of India. Koirengei along with the nearby airfields helped prevent Japan's advance into India during the Battle of Imphal.
It was promised that after the war, the land would be transferred back to the State Government when the airfield no longer served a purpose. The Military Estate Officer was operating the airfield at Koirengei Airfield, while the Air Force was in charge of it.

### Closure

After the Independence of India in 1947, the airfield was returned to civil purposes up until early 1959 when it was closed as Tulihal Airfield experienced major redevelopment for civil use. Only a few pieces of the runway remains today at Koirengei.

## Other airfields

The construction was part of a 6 airfield complex scattered around the valley. These include one at Palel, Tulihal, Thoubal, Sapam and Kangla Siphai. The airfields at Kangla, Wangjing and Sapam were carved out of paddy-fields at the time. Today, Tulihal Airfield (now Imphal Airport) serves as the main airport of Imphal Valley while a part of Palel Airfield still exists.

### All weather airfields

* Tulihal
* Pallel

### Fair weather airfields

* Thoubal
* Sapam

# Townsendia hookeri

Townsendia hookeri is a perennial flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. It is often referred to by the common names Easter daisy or Hooker's Townsend daisy. Named after 19th century botanist William Jackson Hooker, T. hookeri shares the genus Townsendia with at least 28 other species at this time.

## Description

The more noticeable morphological features of T. hookeri include the growth of linear, strigose leaves, and the early-spring formation of sessile or "stemless" flowers which are most often cream to faintly pink. With maturity, the plant can become mat-forming. Although members of the genus Townsendia can be notoriously challenging to key, there are a few tell-tale features that distinguish T. hookeri from its look-a-like T. exscapa. The bracts of T. hookeri terminate in tiny tufts of hair, whereas the bracts of T. exscapa do not. Additionally, the disk pappus of T. hookeri just barely extends beyond the disk petals, while in the case of T. exscapa, the disk pappus greatly exceeds the petals. A hand lens is often needed to accurately key these species.

## Distribution

Townsendia hookeri is native to North America, primarily along the Rocky Mountain corridor. Within the United States, its known native range includes the states: Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Colorado, and Utah. It can also be found in the Canadian provinces Yukon, British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan.

## Habitat

Townsendia hookeri is most commonly found growing on well-draining talus slopes, gravel, and exposures, including disturbances such as road cuts.
# Piffles Taylor

Neil Joseph "Piffles" Taylor (March 29, 1895 – May 24, 1947) was a Canadian World War I pilot, Canadian football player, coach, and executive. He was "largely responsible for the development of football in Western Canada".
Born in Collingwood, Ontario, and raised in Yellow Grass, Saskatchewan, he studied law and played collegiately at the University of Toronto before joining the Regina Rugby Club in 1914. In 1916, he joined the Royal Flying Corps and became a fighter pilot. He lost an eye when he was shot down and spent a year in a German prisoner of war camp during World War I. His brother Sam, also a pilot, was shot down and killed.
Despite the loss of an eye, Taylor returned to the Regina RC in 1919, quarterbacking the team to the Hugo Ross Trophy over Calgary. He played for them through 1921, and served as their coach in 1922 and 1923. He joined the newly renamed Regina Roughriders as their executive in 1926. In 1934, he was named team president, a post he held until 1937, when he was briefly president of the Western Interprovincial Football Union. He presided over the WIFU again from 1941 to 1942, and served as president of the Canadian Rugby Union in 1946 before his sudden death the same year. He was posthumously inducted to the Order of the British Empire.
The home of the Roughriders, Park de Young, was renamed the now-defunct Taylor Field in his honour in 1947, and the Hugo Ross Trophy, awarded annually to the champions of the WIFU, was replaced with the N. J. Taylor Trophy in 1948. Taylor was posthumously inducted to the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in 1963. In 2006, the street directly in front of the now-defunct stadium's west entrance was renamed Piffles Taylor Way.
