The Battle of Paso de Cuevas was fought on 12 August 1865 during the Paraguayan invasion of the Argentine province of Corrientes.

Following losses after the Battle of Riachuelo, and running the gauntlet set up by José María Bruguez at Bella Vista in the Battle of Paso de Mercedes the day before, the allied fleet advanced down the River Paraná, not wanting to be cut off from its supply base. However, the pass at Cuevas was once again manned by 3,000 of Bruguez's men with 34 guns. Barroso suffered 24 dead and 42 wounded.

Francis Leigh (MP for Kildare)
Francis Leigh (fl. 1663–1692) was an Irish Jacobite politician.

Leigh was the son of John Leigh of County Kildare. On 22 July 1663, Leigh was appointed Escheator of Leinster by Charles II of England. In 1689 he was elected as a Member of Parliament for Kildare Borough in the short-lived Patriot Parliament summoned by James II of England. James II also appointed him as an assessor of taxation for County Kildare. Following the conclusion of the Williamite War in Ireland, Leigh was attainted in 1691 and forfeited his entire estate.

Patriot Parliament
The Patriot Parliament is the name commonly used for the Irish Parliament session called by King James II during the Williamite War in Ireland which lasted from 1688 to 1691. The first since 1666, it held only one session, which lasted from 7 May 1689 to 20 July 1689. Irish nationalist historian Sir Charles Gavan Duffy first used the term Patriot Parliament in 1893.

The House of Commons was 70 members short since there were no elections in the northern counties; as a result, its members were overwhelmingly Old English and Catholic. Sir Richard Nagle was elected speaker, while the House of Lords was led by Baron Fitton; the opposition was led by Anthony Dopping, a Church of Ireland cleric who served as the Bishop of Meath.

The term is controversial, for this Parliament was deeply divided. The deliberate destruction of its records after 1695 means that assessments, both negative and positive, often rely on individual accounts.

Keen's point is located 3 cm superior and 3 cm posterior to the helix of the ear.

Along the path, a posterior horn extends backward into the occipital lobe, and an anterior horn extends farther into the frontal lobe.
