Blackburn Lincock The Blackburn F . 2 Lincock was a British single - seat lightweight fighter produced by Blackburn Aircraft Limited . Design and development . In 1928 Blackburn designed and built a private venture lightweight biplane fighter powered by an Armstrong Siddeley Lynx IVC engine . The Blackburn F . 2 Lincock was of wooden construction and first appeared in May 1928 . It performed well in demonstrations but failed to gain any orders . The Canadian government showed an interest in the design , and a metal construction variant ( the Lincock II ) was built . It was tested in Canada at Camp Borden in 1930 who were interested in using the Lincock as an advanced trainer but the type was not ordered . It was later used to perform public aerobatic displays in 1933 and 1934 . The final version was the Lincock III of which five were produced , two were delivered to China , two to Japan and one retained as a demonstrator . Interest from Italy resulted in Piaggio acquiring a licence to produce a two - seat version as an aerobatic trainer , only one Piaggio P . 11 was built .

Adarmahan Adarmahān ( in Greek sources given as , Adaarmanes ; fl . late 6th century ) was a Persian general active in the western frontier of the Sassanid Empire against the East Roman ( Byzantine ) forces , during the Byzantine – Sassanid War of 572 – 591 . Biography . Adarmahān is recorded as a " marzbān " ( general of a frontier province , " margrave " ) , probably of Nisibis , by the Syriac historian John of Ephesus . He was posted at Nisibis in 573 , when the Persian king , Khosrau I ( r . 531 – 579 ) , sent him at the head of an army to invade the Roman province of Syria . He devastated the province , sacked the city of Apamea , capturing several thousand prisoners , and defeated a small Roman force under general Magnus . In 577 , he raided the Roman province of Osrhoene , but withdrew at the approach of a strong Roman army under general Justinian . In 580 , the East Roman general Maurice advanced with an army along the river Euphrates toward the Sassanid capital , Ctesiphon . In response , Adarmahan was ordered to begin operations in northern Mesopotamia ( 581 ) , threatening the Roman army ' s supply line and forcing Maurice to stop and withdraw his army north . Adarmahan pillaged Osrhoene , and was successful in capturing its capital , Edessa . Then he marched his army toward Callinicum on the Euphrates . There , however , he was met by Maurice and his army , and suffered a minor defeat which caused him to retreat . In June of the next year ( 582 ) , Adarmahan suffered a heavy defeat by Maurice near Constantina , barely escaping the field , while his co - commander Tamkhosrau was killed . Thereafter , Adarmahan disappears from history .

William Hulme ( British Army officer ) Lieutenant colonel William Hulme ( 1788 – 1855 ) was an officer in the British Army , and commanded the 96th Regiment of Foot , raised at Manchester . Flagstaff War . His military career was most notable for his involvement in the " Flagstaff War " , also known as the First Anglo - Māori War , which took place in New Zealand between 1845 and 1846 . Lt Col Hume was in command of the colonial forces at the attack on Heke ' s Pā at Puketutu on the shores of Lake Omapere ( sometimes called Te Mawhe Pā ) . In May 1845 Heke ’ s Pā was attacked by troops from the 58th , 96th and 99th Regiments with marines and a Congreve rocket unit . The colonial forces arrived at Heke ' s Pā at Puketutu on 7 May 1845 . Lieutenant Colonel Hulme and his second in command Major Cyprian Bridge made an inspection of Heke ' s Pā and found it to be quite formidable . Lacking any better plan they decided on a frontal assault the following day . Te Ruki Kawiti and his warriors attacked the colonial forces as they approached the pā , with Heke and his warriors firing from behind the defences of the pā . There followed a savage and confused battle . Eventually the discipline and cohesiveness of the British troops began to prevail and the Māori were driven back inside the pā . But they were by no means beaten , far from it , as without artillery the British had no way to overcome the defences of the pā . Hulme decided to disengage and retreat back to the Bay of Islands . Lieutenant Colonel Hulme returned to Auckland and was replaced by Lieutenant Colonel Despard , a soldier who did very little to inspire any confidence in his troops . Later life . In 1846 he purchased a house in Parnell , Auckland , which became and is still known as Hulme Court .

Žvelgaitis Žvelgaitis ( " Svelgates " ; literally : " looker - about " ) was a Lithuanian duke who died in 1205 . He is the first Lithuanian duke whose name is known from reliable sources . The account of his expedition and death is given by Henry of Livonia , an early thirteenth - century German chronicler of Latvian history , spanning the years 1186 - 1227 . Žvelgaitis is called " rich and powerful , " but he was not the supreme duke , as he led the army in the name of another , more powerful duke . In 1205 , Žvelgaitis led several thousand horsemen northward , from Lithuania through Riga , on the way to attack and plunder Estonia . Returning from Estonia mid - winter , with booty and Estonian slaves , his troops were caught unaware and attacked while crossing through waist - high snowdrifts . He was attacked by the Livonian and German citizens of Riga , under the leadership of Vester , ruler of Semigallians , coordinating the attack from a sleigh . Žvelgaitis was killed by a javelin thrown by German Theodore Schilling . 1 , 200 Lithuanian knights perished ; the Estonian slaves were slaughtered as well , in retribution for " past crimes " against the Livonians . In Lithuania , the return of Žvelgaitis was missed , and it is said that as many as fifty wives of the Lithuanian soldiers killed themselves in grief , hoping to be all the sooner at the sides of their slain husbands .
W89 The W89 was an American thermonuclear warhead design intended for use on the AGM - 131 SRAM II air to ground nuclear missile . What was to become the W89 design was awarded to the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in the mid - 1980s . It entered Phase 2A technical definition and cost study in November , 1986 . It entered Phase 3 development engineering and was assigned the numerical designation W89 in January 1988 . The W89 design was a diameter by long weapon , with a weight of and yield of 200 kilotons . The design was cancelled in September 1991 along with the SRAM II missile , prior to production of any units , though some test devices may have been manufactured . Reused plutonium pits . According to one source , the plutonium cores ( technically known as pits ) of the W89 warheads were planned to be reused from existing W68 warhead pits , which were surplus at the time . Reliable Replacement Warhead link . Lawrence Livermore engineers have hinted in prior press reports that the Reliable Replacement Warhead design that they were preparing might be based on the W89 warhead design . On March 2 , 2007 , the NNSA announced that the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory RRW design had been selected for the initial RRW production version . One of the selection reasons given was that the LLNL proposed design was more closely tied to historical underground tested warhead designs . It was described by Thomas P . D ' Agostino , acting head of the National Nuclear Security Administration , as having been based on a design which was test fired in the 1980s , but never entered service . LLNL staff have previously hinted in the press that LLNL was considering a design entry based on the tested but never deployed W89 design . The W89 warhead had been proposed as a W88 warhead replacement as early as 1991 . The W89 design was already equipped with all then - current safety features , including insensitive high explosive s , fire - resistant pits , and advanced detonator safety systems . The W89 was also reportedly designed using recycled pits from the earlier W68 nuclear weapon program , recoated in vanadium to provide the temperature resistance . The W89 warhead was test fired in the 1980s .
Byzantine civil war of 1352 – 57 The Byzantine civil war of 1352 – 1357 marks the continuation and conclusion of a previous conflict that lasted from 1341 to 1347 . It involved John V Palaiologos against the two Kantakouzenoi , John VI Kantakouzenos and his eldest son Matthew Kantakouzenos . John V emerged victorious as the sole emperor of the Byzantine Empire , but the resumption of civil war completed the destruction of the previous conflict , leaving the Byzantine state in ruins . In the aftermath of the 1341 – 1347 conflict , John VI Kantakouzenos had established himself as senior emperor and tutor over the young John V Palaiologos . This state of affairs however was not destined to last ; supporters of the Palaiologoi still distrusted him , while his own partisans would have preferred to depose the Palaiologoi outright and install the Kantakouzenoi as the reigning dynasty . Kantakouzenos ' eldest son , Matthew , also resented being passed over in favour of John V , and had to be placated with the creation of a semi - autonomous appanage covering much of western Thrace , which doubled as a march against the new Serbian Empire of Stephen Dushan . Steadily deteriorating relations between Matthew Kantakouzenos , who now ruled eastern Thrace , and John V Palaiologos , who resided in western Thrace , sowed the seeds for the resumption of the civil war . Open warfare broke out in 1352 , when John V , supported by Venetian and Turkish troops , launched an attack on Matthew Kantakouzenos . John Kantakouzenos came to his son ' s aid with 10 , 000 Ottoman troops who retook the cities of Thrace , liberally plundering them in the process . In October 1352 , at Demotika , the Ottoman force met and defeated 4 , 000 Serbs provided to John V by Dushan . This was the Ottomans ' first victory in Europe and an ominous portent . Two years later their capture of Gallipoli marked the beginning of the Ottoman conquest of the Balkans , culminating a century later in the Fall of Constantinople . Meanwhile , John V fled to the island of Tenedos , from where he made an unsuccessful attempt to seize Constantinople in March 1353 . John VI Kantakouzenos responded by having Matthew crowned as co - emperor , but John V Palaiologos , enlisting Genoese support and relying on the declining popularity of Kantakouzenos , succeeded in entering the capital in November 1354 . John VI Kantakouzenos abdicated and retired to a monastery . Matthew held out in Thrace making war upon the Serbs in 1356 . Then Matthew gathered an army of 5 , 000 Turks and marched on Serres the Serbian held capital of John Ugleisha . Stephan Uros V whose mother also ruled at Serres decided to raise an army to defend his mother and in 1357 when Matthew and his Turks attacked , The Serbian army under Vojin The Count of Drama ( a major fortress in that vicinity ) came to the rescue and the Turks were defeated and Matthew captured and held hostage until his ransom was paid by the Emperor John V Palaiologos who was now the sole master of a rump state . Matthew was allowed to go to the Morea and reign there with his brother Manual .

USS Sangamon ( 1862 ) USS " Sangamon " ( 1862 ) was a " Passaic " - class ironclad monitor constructed for the Union Navy during the second year of the American Civil War where she operated in the waterways of the Confederate States of America . She was later recommissioned and placed into service during the Spanish - American War . Laid down in Pennsylvania in 1862 . The first U . S . Navy ship to be so named , " Sangamon " was laid down under the name Conestoga in the summer of 1862 ; renamed Sangamon on 9 September 1862 ; launched on 27 October 1862 ; and commissioned on 9 February 1863 at Chester , Pennsylvania , Commodore Pierce Crosby in command . Assigned to the North Atlantic blockade . The monitor was assigned to the North Atlantic Blockading Squadron and soon began efficient but unspectacular operations in Hampton Roads , Virginia and in the many roughly parallel rivers which empty into Chesapeake Bay . " Sangamon " was one of the vital ships of the Navy which guaranteed the Army control of the waters which border and penetrate the bitterly contested land which separated Washington , D . C . and Richmond , Virginia . After repairs at Philadelphia , Pennsylvania on 21 February 1864 , she was towed by to Port Royal , South Carolina for duty with the South Atlantic Blockading Squadron . After Union blockade duty off Charleston , South Carolina , she returned to Hampton Roads in the summer to support General Ulysses S . Grant ' s drive on Richmond , Virginia . Varied river duties . " Sangamon " performed widely varied duties . She conducted reconnaissance expeditions up the river to obtain information , and often dueled Confederate forces hidden along the banks . She guarded Union troop concentrations and served as part of the Union naval force which patrolled the upper James to prevent the Confederate flotilla from threatening Union transports . In March – April 1865 , during the final thrust on Richmond , Virginia , she assisted in clearing the river of Confederate torpedoes ( mines ) and countering the threat of Confederate ironclads so that Union shipping could proceed safely to the Confederate capital . Post - Civil War operations . After the war ended , " Sangamon " was decommissioned at Philadelphia and placed in reserve . Renamed Jason on 10 June 1869 , no record has been found of any subsequent active service until she was recommissioned on 13 May 1898 for service during the Spanish - American War . The old monitor was stationed at Fisher ' s Island , Long Island , New York where she provided the New York City area with some degree of naval protection against the perceived threat of a raid by Spanish cruisers .
