William Wade Dudley William Wade Dudley ( 1842 – 1909 ) , born in Weathersfield Bow , Vermont , started life as a soldier in the American Civil War , then became a lawyer , a government official and a Republican campaigner . Background . William Wade Dudley was the son of Rev . John Dudley , a well - known Congregational minister in Weathersfield whose sermons were widely reprinted , a graduate of Yale Seminary , a sometime missionary to the Choctaw Indians and a descendant of William Dudley , one of the earliest settlers of Guilford , Connecticut in 1639 . Dudley ' s mother was Abigail Wade , a granddaughter of Col . Nathaniel Wade , a staff officer to General George Washington during the Revolutionary War . History . After studying at Phillips Academy , Danville in Vermont , and at Russell Military Academy in New Haven , Connecticut , he joined the army as captain of the Richmond City Greys in the 19th Indiana Volunteers of the famed Iron Brigade . After losing 79 percent of his men at the Battle of Gettysburg , and having his right leg amputated on the field , he served as an army inspector and judge advocate . Following the end of the war he became a civilian lawyer in 1870 , then the U . S . marshal for Indiana in 1879 , commissioner of pensions under appointment of Presidents James Garfield and Chester A . Arthur in 1881 . In 1888 he was appointed Treasurer of the Republican National Committee . He returned to practicing law in 1887 . He married in 1864 . Controversy . In 1888 having been made Treasurer of the Republican National Committee , Dudley was involved in the 1888 elections and one of the most intense political campaigns in decades , with Indiana dead even between Democrats and incumbent , President Grover Cleveland – and Republican challenger Benjamin Harrison . Although this job did not strictly involve him in state politics , Dudley wrote a circular letter to Indiana ' s county chairmen , telling them to " Divide the floaters into blocs of five , and put a trusted man with the necessary funds in charge of these five , and make them responsible that none get away and that all vote our ticket , " and promising adequate funding for this . Unfortunately for the Republicans , the Democrats managed to get hold of the letter and they distributed hundreds of thousands of copies in the last days of the campaign . Given Dudley ' s unsavory reputation , few people believed his denials . The attack on " blocs of five " with the suggestion that pious General Benjamin Harrison was trying to buy the election enlivened the Democratic campaign and stimulated the nationwide movement to replace ballots printed and distributed by the parties with the secret ' Australian ballot ' . Benjamin Harrison ' s electoral votes topped Cleveland ' s to win the election .
August Agbola O ' Browne August Agbola O ' Browne ( second name also spelled as Agboola , surname as just Brown ) ( 1895 – 1976 ) was a Nigerian jazz musician by profession and is believed to have been the only black participant of the 1944 Warsaw Uprising . Biography . August Agbola O ' Browne was born on 22 July 1895 in present - day Nigeria . O ' Browne immigrated to Poland in 1922 . He lived at Ulica Złota ( Golden Street ) . He was a professional musician , a drummer who worked in clubs in Warsaw . He married a Polish woman ; they had two children – Ryszard ( Richard ) in 1928 and Aleksandra ( Alexandra ) in 1929 . In 1949 , he joined the Society of Fighters for Freedom and Democracy . In the survey , he claimed that he fought in the Polish Defensive War in 1939 , defending besieged Warsaw , and in the Warsaw Uprising in 1944 . He stated that in the Uprising his code - name was " Ali " and that he belonged to the unit led by Corporal Aleksander Marciński , code - name " Łabędź " ( " Swan " ) . The unit fought in the Śródmieście district of Warsaw . Based on the name of the commander , historians confirmed that battalion " Iwo " did indeed fight in the district of Śródmieście Południowe ( Southern Srodmiescie ) . Mr . Jan Radecki , code - name " Czarny " ( " Black " ) , another participant of the very uprising did claim that he did see a black man at the H . Q . of the battalion " Iwo " at ulica Marszałkowska 74 ( 74 Marszalkowska Street ) , possibly in the communication section . Mr . Radecki did not remember the exact personal data of the black insurgent . There are also indications that before the uprising O ' Browne was connected with the resistance and distributed illegal , underground newspapers ( " bibuła " ) . There is little reliable information on his life after the war . Around 1949 he worked in the Department of Culture and Art of the City of Warsaw ; later he continued his musician career , playing in restaurants in Warsaw . August Agbola O ' Browne emigrated to Great Britain in 1958 . He died there around 1976 . Information about O ' Browne ' s existence was discovered by historian Zbigniew Osiński from the Warsaw Uprising Museum around 2010 ; another historian Krzysztof Komorowski noted that if the story of his existence and participation in the Uprising as the only documented black insurgent is true , it is quite sensational . Unfortunately , very little evidence remains to corroborate it and most of the witnesses are dead ; nonetheless the Polish historians have found enough corroborating evidence to conclude that the existence of O ' Browne , and the story of his participation in the Uprising , is very likely true .
Wolf pack Borkum Borkum was a wolf pack of German U - boat s that operated during the battle of the Atlantic in World War II . Service history . " Borkum " was formed in December 1943 off the coast of Portugal , to intercept convoys sailing to and from Gibraltar , Mediterranean and South Atlantic . It was composed of U - boats from the disbanded patrol group " Weddigen " , with reinforcements from bases in occupied France . " Borkum " was first detailed to assist the passage of blockade runner s " Osorno " and " Alsterufer " which were returning to base . A surface force was also involved in this operation , code - named " Bernau " . Allied intelligence was aware off this and deployed forces against them . In the ensuing actions " Borkum " boats " U - 305 " and " U - 415 " attacked escort carrier " Card " , without success , while two destroyers were sunk ; " Leary " by " U - 275 " and " Hurricane " by " U - 415 " . " U - 645 " was destroyed by destroyer " Schenk " and the " Bernau " force lost a destroyer and two torpedo boats . The blockade runners were also lost . The " Borkum " boats assisted in picking up survivors . In January 1944 " Borkum " was reinforced by new boats , while a number of the original group returned to base . These came under air attack crossing the Bay of Biscay , and three ( " U - 107 " , " U - 275 " and " U - 541 " ) were damaged . The renewed " Borkum " group , of eight U - boats , was re - organized into three patrol lines to intercept an expected north - bound convoy ( MKS 35 ) . However MKS 35 had joined with SL 144 and a US hunter - killer group , centred on the carrier " Block Island " , while in the same period a south - bound convoy OS 64 / KMS 38 passed through the same area . In a series of actions " U - 305 " sank the frigate HMS " Tweed " , escorting the south - bound convoy , while " U - 270 " shot down a patrol aircraft , but three U - boats , " U - 270 " , " U - 382 " and " U - 758 " were damaged and forced to return . " U - 953 " was subjected to a 13 hour hunt , but eventually escaped .

Rangefinder A rangefinder is a device that measures distance from the observer to a target . Techniques . Some devices use active methods to measure ( such as sonar , laser , or radar ) ; others measure distance using trigonometry ( stadiametric rangefinders and parallax , or coincidence , rangefinders ) . Older methodologies that use a set of known information , usually distances or target sizes , to make the measurement , have been in regular use since the 18th century . Applications . Applications includes surveying , navigation , determining focus in photography , choosing a golf club , or accurately aiming a weapon . Ballistics . Rangefinders may be used by military or law enforcement snipers as a means of finding the distance to the target in order to set up a " perfect shot " . If range is not known before the first shot , it may be necessary to walk the rounds in on the target , such as using tracer ammunition or observing splashes . The laser rangefinder is not always the best option though , as it sends out a light source that may give away the rangefinder ' s position . Photography . A rangefinder camera is a camera fitted with a rangefinder which allows the photographer to measure the distance to the subject and thus take photographs that are in sharp focus . Most modern cameras have automatic - focus capabilities . Forestry . Rangefinders are also used for surveying in forestry . Special devices with anti - leaf filters are used . Virtual reality . Since the 1990s , rangefinders have been used in virtual reality systems to detect operator movements and locate objects .
