Battle of Tarakan (1942)
The Battle of Tarakan took place on 11–12 January 1942, a day after the Empire of Japan declared war on the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Although Tarakan was only a small marshy island off northeastern Borneo in the Netherlands East Indies (today's Indonesia), its 700 oil wells, refineries, and airfield made it a crucial objective for Japan in the Pacific War.

Tarakan
Tarakan is an island and co-extensively the sole city within the Indonesian province of North Kalimantan. The island city is the largest urban area in North Kalimantan population-wise and is located in northern Borneo, midway along the coast of the province.

He was killed by Finn mac Blatha, a descendant of Ollom Fotla. The Lebor Gabála Érenn synchronises his reign with that of Darius the Great of Persia (522–485 BC). The chronology of Geoffrey Keating's Foras Feasa ar Éirinn dates his reign to 726–725 BC, that of the Annals of the Four Masters to 953–952 BC.

A descendant of Lugaid Loígde, and their most famous ancestor, is the legendary Lugaid Mac Con, who is listed in the Old Irish Baile Chuinn Chétchathaig.

Although in his lifetime Alexander Cozens was famous, and slightly notorious as "the Blotmaster to the town", he was not very highly regarded in the 19th century, until interest in him and his writings revived in the 1920s.  Partly for reasons emerging from the theoretical approach of the time, his paintings have very little variation of colour, being mainly concerned with massing of his forms.
