Al - Mustakfi Abdallah ibn al - Muktafi ( ) ( 905 – September / October 949 ) , better known by his regnal name al - Mustakfi bi - llah ( , " Desirous of Being Satisfied with God Alone " ) was the Abbasid Caliph in Baghdad from 944 to 946 . He was installed by Tuzun , a Turkish general who deposed and blinded the previous Caliph al - Muttaqi . The Buwayhid dynasty began threatening the Capital . Tuzun , with the Caliph , marched to Wasit and defeated them . The tribute due from Mosul being withheld , Tuzun also marched against the Hamdanid ruler Nasir al - Dawla ; but , after friendly relations were re - established , he returned . Soon after , Tuzun died , and was succeeded by Abu Ja ' far , one of his generals . Baghdad now fell into a fearful state of distress . Supplies , stayed by the enemies all round , no longer reached the markets , and people were reduced to eat dogs , cats and garbage . The mob were driven by starvation to plunder the shops of their remaining stores . Multitudes fled the city for Basra or elsewhere , dying in great numbers from weakness . Abu Ja ' far at last , finding himself unable to control affairs , requested the aid of the Hamdanid commander Nasir al - Dawla , from Mosul ; even offering , if he would come , to vacate in his favor the supreme command . But the Hamdanids were at the moment engaged on one hand with the Rus ' in Azerbaijan , and on the other with the Ikhshidids in Syria . Just then the governor of Wasit surrendered to the chief of the Buwayhids , and joining him marched on Baghdad . Abu Ja ' far and the Caliph fled into hiding . The Caliph then received the secretary of Buwayhid chief to make terms of peace , which the Caliph accepted . Invited thus , Buwayhid Sultan Mu ' izz al - Dawla entered Baghdad , and under the title of Amir al - Umara ( Amir of Amirs ) assumed the supreme command . The Caliph , being an abject submission to the Amir , whose name , in addition to al - Mustakfi ' s , was now by his command stamped upon the coinage , and recited in the public prayers ; but it was all in vain . Mu ' izz al - Dawla feared the Caliph as a creature of the Turks . Eventually al - Mustakfi was deprived of sight and deposed . He had been Caliph for little over a year . The city rose in chaos , and the Caliph ' s palace was looted .
Obregón pistol The Obregón is a Mexican designed semi - automatic pistol designed in the mid - 1930s by a mechanical engineer , Alejandro Obregón . It uses the same . 45 caliber ammunition as the Colt 1911 and resembles it in overall appearance , frame size and weight . However , its short - recoil operating and barrel locking system employs a diagonal cam on the rear of the barrel sliding against a diagonal receiver - mounted groove to rotate the barrel , much like that of the Austro - Hungarian Steyr M1912 pistol , not the " swinging link and pin " of the Colt M1911 series . One of the Obregón ' s design curiosities is that its safety switch and slide lock are a single unit . A few hundred of these pistols were produced at the national armory in Mexico City during the 1930s , but it was neither a sales success nor was it commissioned to be made for the Mexican government .
Battle of Iconium ( 1069 ) The Battle of Iconium ( Greek : Μάχη του Ικονίου , Turkish : Konya Muharebesi ) was an unsuccessful attempt by the Seljuk Turks to capture the city of Iconium , modern day Konya . After sacking Ani and Caesarea in 1063 and 1067 respectively speaking ( some sources suggest as early as 1064 ) , the Byzantine army in the East was in too poor a shape to resist the advance of the Turks . Had it not been for the efforts of the co - emperor Romanus Diogenes the Byzantine Empire would have suffered her " Manzikert " disaster sooner . From Syria , a successful counter - attack drove the Turks back . Further campaigning was met with some success by Romanus , despite the ill nature of his army which had been poorly led since the death of Basil II . The victory was a short respite - sometime after Manzikert , in the midst of the petty and rather thoughtless civil conflict , Iconium fell to the Turks . The city saw a brief return to Christendom during the First Crusade , possibly under Byzantine rule but the Turks counter - attacked at the Crusade of 1101 and Konya would form the capital of Byzantium ' s most dangerous opponent . In 1190 Iconium fell briefly again to Christian hands of Holy Roman Emperor Friedrich I Barbarossa , during the Third Crusade .

Avro 533 Manchester The Avro 533 Manchester was a First World War - era twin - engine biplane photo - reconnaissance and bomber aircraft designed and manufactured by Avro . Design and development . Designed as a twin - engine bomber and photo - reconnaissance aircraft , the Avro 533 was a development of the earlier 523 and 529A . Originally designated as the Avro 529B , the new 320 hp ( 240 kW ) ABC Dragonfly I nine - cylinder engine was specified , but with a redesign in July 1918 , the type number was subsequently changed to Avro 533 . When the original engines were not available , the 300 hp ( 220 kW ) Siddeley Puma engine was substituted on the second protoype in November 1918 , this acquiring a new designation , the Avro 533A Manchester Mk II , and first flying in December that year . An American 400 hp ( 300 kW ) Liberty engine was also proposed as an alternate engine . Operational history . The Avro 533A Manchester Mk II flew for the first time in December 1918 with flight testing continuing with No . 186 Development Squadron . By March 1919 , Avro sent the first prototype to Aeroplane and Armament Experimental Establishment at Martlesham Heath for official trials before its eventual return to the Avro factory at Hamble . The aircraft was a large , and mainly conventional design of wooden and fabric construction typical of the time . Open cockpits were retained , although later modifications were planned for passenger compartments in the interior . In December 1919 , the second prototype received its Dragonfly I engines , becoming the Avro 533A Manchester Mk I . Other than the different engines , there were few differences between the two types , other than the Mk I having a slightly reduced lower wing surface , and enlarged tail fin and rudder to correct control problems indicated in testing . Flight testing also indicated a lower performance than anticipated which resulted in Avro reconsidering the type ' s further trials , and eventually led to the abandoning of the third prototype , which was never fitted with engines . In March 1919 , Avro proposed a passenger airliner , the Avro 537 that would be adapted from the earlier bomber version . The plans were ultimately abandoned and all the Type 533 prototypes were scrapped .
USS Delaware ( 1798 ) The second USS " Delaware " was a ship which served in the United States Navy during Quasi - War with France . " Delaware " was built in 1794 as the merchant ship " Hamburgh Packet " in Philadelphia , Pennsylvania , and purchased by the Navy 5 May 1798 .

Yokosuka Naval Air Technical Arsenal History . The air arsenal ' s roots go back to 1869 when the Imperial Japanese Navy ( IJN ) established a naval arsenal at Yokosuka , about 13 miles south of Yokohama on Tokyo Bay . The arsenal provided ship building , repair and replenishment to the Japanese Navy . It was also a storage depot where munitions and other assorted supplies were brought as they were purchased . When a number of foreign aircraft were purchased for evaluation , the Navy brought them to the arsenal for processing . The arsenal assembled the aircraft from their shipping boxes , and when assembled , they were flown by the pilots who had been sent abroad for flying lessons and evaluate the aircraft flown . Modifications to these aircraft were done as weaknesses were found , or when an improvement was incorporated . To facilitate this work , the IJN established the Aeroplane Factory , Ordnance Department at the arsenal ' s torpedo factory in May 1913 . The next year , the first acronym was used was Yokosho , a contraction of " Yokosuka Kaigun Kōshō " ( Yokosuka Naval Arsenal ) . The arsenal was renamed " Kaigun Kōkū Shiken - sho " ( Naval Establishment for Aeronautical Research ) in December 1919 . The name " Kaigun Gijutsu Kenkyūsho " ( Naval Technical Research Institute ) was assigned by April , 1923 , when the arsenal was moved to Tsukiji with several other Naval support units . The entire Tsukiji facility was destroyed in the 1923 Great Kantō earthquake . Several names were used when the navy began establishment of the arsenal . Research was started again in 1924 when several aircraft were evaluated . Under the command of the newly formed Naval Air Headquarters , the Kaigun Kokusho ( Naval Air Arsenal ) was formed at Yokosuka on 1 April 1932 . A large amount of draftsmen and Designers were transferred from the Hiro Naval Arsenal , ending aircraft production there . The war years . During World War II , the arsenal was responsible for the design of several IJN aircraft , although the arsenal itself did not manufacture more than a few prototypes of the aircraft it designed . Its designs were mass produced by companies such as Aichi Kokuki , Watanabe Tekkōjo steel foundry , ( renamed in 1943 to ( Kyushu Armaments ) ) , and the Hiro Naval Arsenal ( " Hiro Kaigun Kōshō " , which is often abbreviated as Hirosho ) . ) Aircraft designed by the arsenal are usually designated by the manufacturer ' s letter " Y " for " Yokosuka " . An example of the above is the Yokosuka D4Y1 Carrier Attack Bomber Suisei Model 11 ( " Suisei " - Comet ) which was mainly produced by Aichi . The D4Y1 and later models were also produced by Dai - Jūichi Kaigun Kōkū - shō ( 11th Naval Arsenal ) at Hiro .

12 " / 50 caliber Mark 8 gun The 12 " / 50 caliber gun Mark 8 was a US naval gun mounted on the s . Design and production . The gun was designed in 1939 , and a prototype was tested in 1942 . Unlike previous guns , such as the 16 " / 45 caliber gun s used on the , which were completely made and assembled at the Naval Gun Factory in Washington D . C . , the forgings for the Mark 8 were manufactured at the Midvale and Bethlehem Steel Corporation . They were then sent to the Naval Gun Factory for processing , which was followed by a trip to Watervliet Arsenal until they were 65 % complete . Finally , the built - up gun s were sent back to the Factory to be finished . The gun was first deployed in 1944 , on the lead ship of the " Alaska " class , . The two " Alaska " class ships each had nine Mark 8 guns mounted in three triple ( 3 - gun ) turrets , with two turrets forward and one aft , a configuration known as " 2 - A - 1 " . Only two vessels of the class were completed , making them only applications of the Mark 8 12 " / 50 caliber gun . Measurements . The Mark 8 weighed including the breech and was capable of an average rate of fire of 2 . 4 – 3 rounds a minute . It could throw a 1 , 140 lb . ( 517 . 093 kg ) Mark 18 armor piercing shell 38 , 573 yards ( 35 , 271 meters ) at an elevation of 45° . The previous 12 " gun manufactured for the U . S . Navy was the Mark 7 version , used in in the WWI era s . , could only throw an shell 24 , 000 yards ( 21 , 950 meters ) , The Mark 8 ' s significant improvement in firing weight and range over the Mark 7 gave it the honor of " by far the most powerful weapon of its caliber ever placed in service . " In fact , as a result of the decision to fire " super heavy " armor piercing projectiles , the Mark 8 ' s deck plate penetration was better and the side belt armor penetration equal to the older ( but larger ) 14 " / 50 caliber gun . The " barrel life " of the Mark 8 guns was 344 shots , which was 54 more shots than the 16 " / 50 caliber Mark 7 gun found in the s .
