FG Steyr

The **FG Steyr** (“Fußballgemeinschaft Steyr”) was a war-related merger of the soccer clubs SK Amateure and SK Vorwärts from the Upper Austrian district town of Steyr and existed from April 1944 until the end of 1944.

## History

In the 1943/44 season, SK Amateure Steyr played in the Gauliga Donau-Alpenland, the highest division in eastern Austrian soccer at the time. With the proclamation of total war and the conscription of all men halfway fit for military service, the clubs in the top divisions also had to face  problems. SK Amateure no longer had enough footballers to play. The club was forced to withdraw from the Gauliga on April 20, 1944.

In April 1944, the team merged with  SK Vorwärts Steyr, who played in the Salzburg-Oberdonau league. The now merged club, which started the season as SK Vorwärts, finished the 1943/44 championship season without defeat and won the championship with a four-point lead over SG Reichsbahn Linz. Promotion to the Gauliga was not possible due to the decision to compete exclusively with clubs from the  Vienna in the 1944/45 season.

The championship of the 1944/45 season in the regional league, which was once again limited to clubs from Upper Danube, was stopped in the fall of 1944 due to the course of the war. At this point, the FG Steyr had played seven matches and was in fourth place in the table. After the championship was stopped , the club was dissolved. In the 1945/46 season, both SK Amateure and SK Vorwärts once again competed as independent clubs in the Upper Austrian regional league.

Mughal Conquest of Sindh

In 1574, Akbar took control of the island fortress of Bhakkar and aimed to conquer the southern part of Sind, near the mouth of the Indus River. He wanted this area to complete his dominance over north-western India and use it as a base for attacking Kandahar, which was under Shah Abbas of Persia.

In 1590, Akbar appointed Abdur Rahman (Khan Khana) as the governor of Multan and tasked him with capturing the principality of Thatta in lower Sindh, ruled by Mirza Jani Beg. After two battles, Mirza Jani Beg was defeated and forced to surrender his land, including the forts of Thatta and Sehwan, in 1591. He then joined Akbar’s service as a mansabdar with a rank of 3,000 and became a member of the Din Ilahi.

## Battle

The Arghuns tried to keep good relations with the Mughals by claiming they shared a common ancestry, but Emperor Akbar (r. 1556-1605) refused any marriage alliances with them. In 1586, the Mughal governor of Bakhar, Nawab Sadiq Khan, laid siege to Sehwan, but Jani Beg, the Tarkhan ruler, used his boats to cut off the Mughal army's supplies, forcing them to retreat. Despite this victory, Akbar wanted to control the Tarkhans, so in 1589-90, he sent Abd al-Rahim Khan-i-Khanan to conquer Qandahar. Jani Beg raised an army of local tribes and hired European mercenaries to help defend his land, holding off the Mughal army for two years, even after losing his father Muhammad Paynda and son Abu'l Fath in battle.

In 1592, Jani Beg was forced to surrender to Khan-i-Khanan, ending Tarkhan rule in Sindh. Akbar rewarded Jani Beg by promoting him to a higher military rank. After Jani Beg's death in 1600, his son Ghazi Beg took over. Sindh was later reorganized by the Mughals into a province with several districts, and Thatta was ruled by different governors until 1737.

## Battle

To help expand the Mughal empire in the northwest, Akbar sent Mir Masum to conquer Baluchistan, which was controlled by the Baluchi Chief's.

Ectopoglossus isthminus

***Ectopoglossus isthminus*** is a frog.  It lives in Panama.

## Body

Scientists caught a few frogs before 2012. The adult male frogs were 19–21 mm long from nose to rear end and one adult female frog was 23 mm long. The skin of the frog's back is brown in color with darker brown patterns. There are small, light yellow spots in the places where the four legs meet the body.  The belly is light blue in color with some dark color.

## Name

The scientists named the frog _isthminus_ because it lives on the isthmus of Panama. An isthmus is a piece of land that connects two other pieces of land. Panama connects North American with South America.

## Home

This frog lives in near streams in forests in the Chargas area in Panama. Scientists saw the frog between 150 and 810 meters above sea level.

Most of these frogs live in one protected park: Chagres National Park.

## Danger

Scientists say this frog is in danger of dying out. Scientists think that the fungal disease chytridiomycosis may have killed many of these frogs, but they have not tested the frog for the fungus yet.

Mughal Conquest of Odisha

In 1590, Man Singh, the governor of Bihar, invaded Orissa to attack Qutulu Khan Lohani, who had declared himself the ruler of the region. However, Qutulu Khan died before he could fight Man Singh. His son, Nisar Khan, initially resisted but then surrendered and was allowed to remain as governor. Two years later, Nisar Khan broke the agreement, took control of the crown lands in Puri (including the Jagannath temple), and rebelled.  Man Singh defeated Nisar Khan, expelled him, and made Orissa part of the Bengal province in the Mughal Empire.

## Battle

In 1590, Qutlu Khan Lohani, an officer under Daud, the Sultan of Bengal, declared his independence and adopted the title of "Qutlu Shah." In response, Raja Man Singh, the Mughal governor of Bihar, launched an expedition against him. However, before Man Singh could engage him, Qutlu Shah died. His son, Nasir Khan, quickly submitted to Mughal authority, paying homage to Man Singh on 15 August 1590. Nasir Khan was then appointed as the governor of Odisha and signed a treaty that ceded the region around Puri to the Mughals.

For the next two years, Nasir Khan remained loyal to the Mughal Empire, but he soon violated the treaty by laying siege to the Jagannath Temple in Puri. In retaliation, Man Singh launched an attack and decisively defeated Nasir Khan in a battle near the modern-day town of Midnapore on 18 April 1592. By 1593, Odisha was fully incorporated into the Mughal Empire as part of the Bengal Subah.

Type 73 light machine gun

The **Type 73** is a North Korean light machine gun which is used by the Korean People's Army. It was designed and manufactured by the First Machine Industry Bureau of North Korea.

Due to the North Korean government's policy of secrecy, information on the weapon is hard to obtain. One example has been acquired by South Korea. Apparently the North Korean military was not satisfied with the weapon, so around 1982 they developed the Type 82 machine gun, which is a copy of the PKM. This appears to have replaced the Type 73 in frontline service, as it has rarely seen use since the early 1980s, although it may have been kept in reserve or assigned to militias. It was exported to the Middle East via Iran, and has been used in conflicts such as the Iran-Iraq War, the Syrian Civil War, the Yemeni Civil War.

The design of the Type 73 is based on the Soviet PK machine gun of the 1960s, but has local modifications, such as a dual magazine/belt feed, inspired by the Czechoslovak Vz.52 machine gun.

This machine gun uses 7.62×54mmR ammunition, fed by a curved 30-round magazine that is inserted above, or by an ammunition belt. It is gas operated. It has a rate of fire of 600 to 700 rounds per minute. Its weight is 10.6 kg. One unusual feature is a special barrel attachment to enable the gun to fire rifle grenades.
