Bo Mya Bo Mya ( ; born Htee Moo Kee ; 20 January 1927 – 23 December 2006 ) was a Karen rebel leader born in Papun District , which is in present - day Karen State , Myanmar . He was a long - standing chairman of the Karen National Union ( KNU ) , a political organisation of the Karen people , from 1976 to 2000 . He stepped down to become vice - chairman in 2004 , and retired in 2004 from all public offices , due to poor health . Bo Mya was among a significant number of Karens who joined the British — specifically in Bo Mya ' s case , Force 136 — during World War II , with whom he fought the Japanese from the East Dawna hills in 1944 to 1945 . After the Karens declared independence from Burma in 1949 , Bo Mya quickly rose to a position of pre - eminence in the Karen movement , earning a reputation as a hard and ruthless operator . Based at Manerplaw ( " victory field " ) close to the Thai - Burma border , the KNU under his control , and its military wing the Karen National Liberation Army ( KNLA ) , was probably the most successful of the ethnic rebel organisations fighting Rangoon in the 1970s and 1980s . But by the mid - 1990s , the tide was turning against him . A devout Christian of the Seventh - day Adventist Church , Bo Mya had always risked antagonising elements from within the predominantly Karen Buddhist and animist KNLA ranks . Although his defenders say he treated both Christians and Buddhists equally , the fact that the top positions of the KNU were filled almost entirely by Christians seemed to confirm the impression that he promoted the minority Christians ' interests at the expense of those of the Buddhists and animists . In late 1994 , a group of KNLA soldiers broke away from the main army and formed the Democratic Karen Buddhist Army ( DKBA ) . They allied themselves with the Burmese military , and led Burmese troops into Manerplaw in December 1994 , leading to its capture — the biggest single setback to the Karens in their post - war history . Since then , the KNU and KNLA ' s effectiveness has gradually diminished . This was demonstrated at the beginning of 2004 when Bo Mya travelled to Yangon ( Rangoon ) , his first visit to the capital in 50 years , to hold peace talks with Khin Nyunt , who was Prime Minister at the time . On 23 December 2006 , Bo Mya died in a hospital in Mae Sot , Thailand , near the eastern border of Myanmar . He had heart disease and diabetes and was unable to walk for three years before his death .

Historic Blakeley State Park Historic Blakeley State Park is a park located on the site of the former town of Blakeley in Baldwin County , Alabama on the Tensaw River delta . The park encompasses an area once occupied by settlers in what was a thriving community on the river . Later , Confederate soldiers were garrisoned here and fought in the last major battle of the U .

State funding was suspended during 2011 , and the park is now fully funded by private contributions and gate receipts . In 1993 , Blakeley was named a Class A Civil War site by the United States Congress . The park is part of the Civil War Discovery Trail due to it being the site of the Battle of Fort Blakely .

Some effort is underway to restore the Confederate and Union constructs that supported the Battle of Fort Blakeley . That battle , involving over 16 , 000 soldiers occurred on the same day as the Confederate surrender . African - American troops made up a significant number of the Union forces . Little evidence remains today of the previous town of Blakeley . A few historical markers designate important locations such as brick kiln and an old oak tree used as a hanging tree for the local courts . A river crossing here once linked Mobile and Baldwin counties . Prior to the establishment of the town of Blakeley , an ancient Native American village existed and , later , a large plantation occupied this location . Location and activities . The park is located on Alabama 225 just north of the town of Spanish Fort , Alabama . The park is bounded on the east by the highway and by the river to the west . Mobile , Alabama can be seen in the distance across the river . Camping , both primitive and RV , is available year round . Group campsites are also available .

Battle of Toski The battle of Toski ( " Tushkah " ) took place on August 3 , 1889 in Egypt between the Anglo - Egyptian forces and the Mahdist Sudanese . Since 1882 , the British had taken control of Egypt and found themselves involved in the Sudan war . For this reason , they decided to reform and rearm the Egyptian Army . A British general , Sir Francis Grenfell was appointed Sirdar ( commander - in - chief ) and British officers trained the newly formed units . The Sudanese , on the other hand had not renounced their ambition of spreading the Mahdist faith to Egypt . In 1889 , the Khalifa Abdallahi ibn Muhammad sent the Emir Wad - el - Nujumi and an army 6 , 000 strong into Egypt for this purpose . The Mahdists avoided Wadi Halfa where most of the Egyptian troops were garrisoned , and camped at Toski by the Nile , 76 km within the Egyptian border . Here they were attacked by the Egyptians , who completely annihilated them after a five - hour fight , the Emir being killed trying to rally his men . Apart from the officers commanding the Egyptian units , the only British troops participating were a squadron of the 20th Hussars . This battle effectively ended the Mahdist threat to Egypt .
Low Cost Autonomous Attack System The Low Cost Autonomous Attack System ( LOCAAS ) . In 1998 the U . S . Air Force and U . S . Army Lockheed Martin began to examine the feasibility of a small , affordable cruise missile weapon for use against armoured and unarmoured vehicles , materiel and personnel , and if so develop a demonstration program . The program has cost approx . $ 150 , 000 , 000 so far ; the cost per unit is calculated to be $ 30 , 000 based on a production of 12 , 000 units . After being launched from a weapon platform , it is guided by GPS / INS to the target general area , where it can loiter . A laser radar ( LIDAR or LADAR ) illuminates the targets , determines their range , and matches their 3 - D geometry with pre - loaded signatures . The LOCAAS system then selects the highest priority target and selects the warhead ' s mode for the best effect . It is part of the Small Bomb System ( SBS ) program . The LOCAAS has been cancelled .
Slovene National Liberation Committee The Slovene National Liberation Committee ( SNOS ) ( ; , Словеначко народноослободилачко веће ) was formed as the highest governing organ of anti - fascist movement in Slovenia during World War II . The president of its presidium was Josip Vidmar . SNOS was formed on February 19 , 1944 in Črnomelj when the 120 - member Liberation Front Plenum , constituted in 1943 by the Assembly of the Delegates of the Slovene Nation in Kočevje , opted to change its name to SNOS and proclaim itself as the temporary Slovenian Parliament . One of its most important decisions was that after the end of the war Slovenia would become a state within the Socialist Federative Republic of Yugoslavia . In spite of the fact that Slovenia was occupied by Axis forces , SNOS was more than just a symbolic entity . Several important institutions functioned under its supervision . For example , it established even a Statistical Bureau of Slovenia on its session on August 19 , 1944 . Just before the end of the war , on May 5 , 1945 , the SNOS met for the last time in the town of Ajdovščina in the Julian March ( then formally still part of the Kingdom of Italy ) and established the Slovene government with the Communist leader Boris Kidrič as its president .
