Styrsö - class mine countermeasures vessel The " Styrsö " class is a Swedish mine countermeasures vessel built from glass fiber . Among its intended missions are mine detection , mine hunting and patrolling . The ships are named after islands from four different archipelagos of Sweden . Description . The ships are equipped for acoustic , magnetic and mechanical mine clearance . There is also an underwater vehicle type " Uven " and a Towed array sonar on board . It is also possible to manoeuvre the remote controlled mine clearance system " SAM " from the ships . The " Styrsö " class ships have very good manoeuvring properties and are used for hunting bottom mines , traditional mine sweeping and operates in coastal waters . They carry underwater ROVs of the type " Uven " and are prepared for the next generation of rovs called " ROV S " . The class is built exclusively with civilian technology , so called ( COTS ) , everything from diesel engines to the computers on board have been bought from the civilian market . This method simplifies the procedure of upgrading the system , it is also very cost effective eliminating the need to develop new expensive military systems . The ships have a completely integrated command and navigation system with computer communication and projection of charts in a 3D environment . History . The class consists of four ships that were built from 1996 to 1997 . They are among the most modern mine countermeasures ships in the world and an important addition to the Swedish mine clearance ability . In 2004 HMS " Spårö " and HMS " Sturkö " were modernised , pulling out some of their capability for traditional mine clearance in favour of extended human dive support , the modified vessels are occasionally called " Spårö " class .

Deacon ( artillery ) The AEC Mk I Gun Carrier , known as Deacon , was a British armoured fighting vehicle of the Second World War . It was an attempt to make the QF 6 pounder anti - tank gun into a self - propelled artillery piece . It was employed only during the North African Campaign ( 1942 - 1943 ) . History . The Deacon , fitting in with the style of naming self - propelled artillery after ecclesiastical titles , was developed in 1942 to provide British Army units in North Africa with a mobile anti - tank weapon . It can be seen as a development of the practice of carrying smaller artillery pieces " en portee " - sitting on the back of trucks . This meant the artillery could quickly move albeit with some loss of traverse . The basis of the Deacon Gun Carrier was an AEC Matador truck chassis . On the flat bed at the rear of the chassis a 6 - pounder gun with enclosed armoured shield was mounted . The gunner and loader operated the gun from within the shield . The conventional cab was replaced with a boxy armoured construction that covered the engine and the drivers position . Production started in December 1942 and a total of 175 units were built . Combat service . The Deacon was used against German armoured vehicles in North Africa , an environment in which wheeled vehicles were as manoeuvrable as tanks . They are credited with action at El Hamma where the 76th Anti - Tank Regiment , Royal Artillery were victors in a battle against a German force that included Panzer III tanks . They were withdrawn after the end of the campaign in North Africa as they were not considered suitable for use in Europe . Some were converted to armoured ammunition carriers . Some vehicles were sold to Turkey in 1943 .

Cohors II Alpinorum equitata Cohors secunda Alpinorum equitata ( " 2nd part - mounted Cohort of Alpini " ) was a Roman auxiliary mixed infantry and cavalry regiment . " Alpini " was a generic name denoting several Celtic - speaking mountain tribes inhabiting the Alps between Italy and Gaul , which were organised as the Tres Alpes provinces . The regiment was probably raised as one of 4 - 6 Alpini units recruited after the final annexation of the western Alpine regions by emperor Augustus in 15 BC . It first appears in the datable epigraphic record in Illyricum in 60 AD . Not later than 84 it was stationed in Pannonia , though inscriptions at Colonia Agrippina ( Cologne ) in Germania Inferior suggest that it had a brief sojourn there in between Illyricum and Pannonia . In c . 107 , when Pannonia was split in two , the regiment remained in Pannonia Superior . It was still in that province at the time of its last datable inscription ( 223 - 35 ) . The regiment ' s inscriptions have been found at the following Roman forts ( in likely order of occupation ) : Mursa ; Colonia Agrippina ( Germania ) ; Baratsföldpuszta ; Dunaubogdány ( 185 and 223 ) . The names of 3 " praefecti " ( regimental commanders ) are preserved . Only one has a certain origin , Aulus Plautius Bassianus from the city of Rome . A " vexillarius " ( regimental standard - bearer ) is recorded as of the Dalmatae Illyrian tribe and a " tubicen " ( trumpeter ) of unknown origin . The names of 5 " caligati " ( common soldiers ) are extant , all of unknown origin .
Baidar Baidar was the second son of Chagatai Khan . He participated in the European campaign ( " The elder boys campaign " as it was known in Mongolia ) with his nephew Büri from 1235 - 1241 . He commanded the Mongol army assigned to Poland with Kadan and , probably , Orda Khan . Baidar defeated many Poles , Russians , Germans and Moravians . On 13 February 1241 the Mongols crossed the frozen Vistula . The town of Sandomierz was taken and plundered . Further to the west , on 18 March Orda and Baidar met the Polish army under the command of Duke Boleslaw V ( not present at the battle ) at the battle of Chmielnik . The Poles were heavily defeated and Boleslaw with a part of his troops fled to Moravia . On 22 March the Mongols stood before Kraków , many of whose inhabitants had already made their escape . On Palm Sunday the Mongols set the town on fire and took prisoner large numbers of the people who had remained . Moving further west , Orda and Baidar reached a place east of Opole , where they forced Duke Miecislaw ' s army to retreat . Near Racibórz they crossed the Oder . Racibórz was burnt by its inhabitants when they left the town . Wrocław fell into the hands of the Mongols , although the citadel itself did not surrender . Their first assault against the fortress having failed , the Mongols wasted no time on a siege . They bypassed the citadel and pushed forward to the west . After defeating a combined force of Poles , Germans , Templars and Teutonic Knights at Liegnica ( see Battle of Legnica ) , Baidar camped for about two weeks in the neighbourhood of Otmuchów ( between Opole and Kłodzko ) . Early in May 1241 they entered Moravia . Various small , unprotected places were plundered . Only cities of Olomouc , Brno and Uničov resisted . When they attempt to take the town of Olomouc they were beaten by the Czech royal army in the Battle of Olomouc , and Baidar was killed by King Václav . The rest continued via Brno , to join Batu Khan ' s main army in Hungary . Although Bohemia remained unmolested , Moravia had much to endure . The destruction in Poland , Silesia and Moravia was all much of the same kind . Some European chronicles claim Baidar was not killed near Olomouc in 1240 as Baidar later participated in the election of Güyük Khan in 1247 .

Canovium Canovium was a fort in the Roman province of Britannia . Its site is located at Caerhun in the Conwy valley , in the county borough of Conwy , in North Wales . Canovium was a square fort built in timber at an important river crossing ( at Tal - y - Cafn ) by the Roman army around AD 75 , possibly to house a 500 - strong regiment of foot - soldiers . Rebuilding in stone began in the early 2nd century . It contained the usual headquarters building , commanding officer ' s house , granaries and barrack blocks , but the two former buildings were unusually large for the size of the fort . There was a bath - house to the east and an extensive vicus to the north . There may have been a brief abandonment of the site in the very late 2nd century , but occupation quickly resumed , with the erection of a new cookhouse , and continued until at least the late 4th century . The north - east quarter of the site is now occupied by the 14th - century parish church of St Mary and its churchyard . There have been several publications on the Cavovium fort , described at the Kanovium Project link below . The classic study of the fort was the 1938 collected reports of P . K . Baillie Reynolds , of Aberystwyth University , the culmination of four summers of excavation by him .

It was run , from its creation in late 1940 to disbandment in early 1945 , by Jerzy Rutkowski of Bureau of Information and Propaganda of the Polish resistance ( Armia Krajowa ) . TWZW was likely the largest underground publisher in the world . History . First underground press of TWZW started operating in Warsaw in autumn 1940 . Before that period , underground presses had to rely on small , amateurish printing presses . TWZW revolutionized the underground printing scene in occupied Poland , by building new underground presses , and organizing the entire network . By early 1944 TZWZ had twelve underground centers , including eight printing presses , as well as a bookbinding center , an offset printing center , a foreign - language publication center , and a chemigraphy ( zincography ) center . Most of its operations were located in Warsaw . In summer 1944 several centers of TWZW were discovered by the German occupiers .

It is estimated that during its operation , TWZW produced 10 - 20 millions of newspaper and magazine issues , and about a million each of brochures , leaflets and other prints ( such as posters ) . Its publications were distributed throughout occupied Poland , and in some instances , even abroad . TWZW employed about 50 people full - time ( many of them women ) , many more volunteers ( particularly to distribute its publications ) , and consumed monthly about 5 tons of paper ( bought on the black market ) . TWZW was likely the largest underground publisher in the world . Over the years many people involved with TWZW were arrested by the Germans , some were imprisoned , others , executed .
