Maurizio Galbaio Maurizio Galbaio ( Latin : Mauricius Galba ) ( died 787 ) was the seventh traditional , but fifth historical , Doge of Venice from 764 to his death . He was the first great doge , who reigned for 22 years and set Venice on its path to independence and success . Maurizio was raised to the dogeship at a time when two tribunes were being elected annually to check the power of the doge . His predecessor had been from a pro - Lombard faction , but Maurizio was a wealthy man from pro - Byzantine Heraclea . He opposed both the strong republican faction , which supported moving towards " de facto " independence , and the pro - Frankish and pro - Lombard factions . He received the titles of " magister militum " and " hypatos " from the Emperor Leo IV . The Lombard king Desiderius , in light of the alliance between the papacy and the Frankish king Charlemagne and the strong clerical support for Frankish hegemony in Venice , ravaged the states of the church and Istria , even capturing the doge ' s son Giovanni . Through the pope , Maurizio sent ambassadors to Charlemagne and his son was released . Maurizio then made the first of many subsequent attempts to create a hereditary dogeship when , in 778 , he had his son made a second doge . Maurizio obtained the consent of the emperor of the East for this last act . During Maurizio ' s final eleven years , the Venetians expanded permanently to the Rialto islands . On the little island of Olivolo ( now Castello ) , he reconsecrated the church of SS Bacchus and Sergius as that of St Peter . It was raised to episcopal status and was the cathedral of Venice throughout the republican era . The low point of Maurizio ' s reign was the expulsion from the Pentapolis of Venetian traders for trading in slaves and eunuchs . Maurizio was indeed succeeded by his son on his death . His name , Galbaio , came from his reputed descent from the ancient Roman emperor Galba .
Rye Air Force Station Rye Air Force Station ( ADC ID : M - 104 ) is a closed United States Air Force General Surveillance Radar station . It is located southeast of Portsmouth , New Hampshire . It was closed in 1957 . History . Rye AFS was part of the planned deployment of 44 mobile radar stations by Air Defense Command in 1952 to provide protection for Strategic Air Command Bases and to support the permanent deployment of the 75 stations of the ADC radar network around the perimeter of the country . This deployment had been projected to be operational by mid - 1952 . Funding , constant site changes , construction , and equipment delivery delayed deployment . Constructed at the former Fort Dearborn coastal artillery site , the station became operational in 1956 when the 644th Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron activated an AN / TPS - 1 D radar at the site , and initially the station functioned as a Ground - Control Intercept ( GCI ) and warning station . As a GCI station , the squadron ' s role was to guide interceptor aircraft toward unidentified intruders picked up on the unit ' s radar scopes . It shortly was closed due to budget reduction in 1957 . The site was re - equipped with an AN / FPS - 14 and became an unmanned Gap Filler for North Truro AFS , Massachusetts , as site Fort Dearborn , P - 10B . It was finally closed in June 1968 . Today , the site is the location of Odiorne Point State Park . Many former parts of Fort Dearborn remain . Rye AFS has been obliterated .

Neodamodes The Neodamodes ( , " neodamōdeis " ) were Helots freed after passing a time of service as hoplites in the Spartan Army . The date of their first apparition is uncertain . Thucydides does not explain the origin of this special category . Jean Ducat , in his book " Les Hoplites " ( 1990 ) , concludes that their statute " was largely inspired by the measures dictated concerning the Brasidians " , i . e . the Helots freed after taking part to the expedition of Brasidas in 424 BC . Their existence is attested from 420 to 369 BC . They were part of Sparta ' s army and 2 , 000 of them are recorded taking part , for example , to Agesilaus II ' s campaign in Ionia between 396 and 394 BC . The name comes from the words νέος " neos " , meaning " new " , and " dêmos " , meaning " " deme " or territory " . Differently from what is written by Hesychius of Alexandria , who brings together the neodamodes and the Athenian " demotes " ( citizens of a deme ) , they never acquired full citizenship . The suffix - ωδης " - ôdês " signals only a resemblance . In truth , the only " deme " they joined was that of the Perioeci .
Hasserode Castle Hasserode Castle ( ) in the quarter of the same name in the town of Wernigerode am Harz was a medieval fortification whose site is near Hasserode station on the Harz Narrow Gauge Railways . Today there are no visible traces left of the castle . Early history . The archival documented history of the Harz forests around the once independent municipality of Hasserode , that has been part of the borough of Wernigerode since 1907 , go well back into the Middle Ages . Originally , this wooded region belonged to an imperial forest before it was enfeoffed by the Holy Roman emperors and German kings to the counts of Wernigerode , first mentioned in 1121 , who came from Haimar in the Diocese of Hildesheim . The counts of Wernigerode , like most ruling dynasties , endeavoured to extend their sphere of influence . In the Harz Foreland at the foot of the mountain range called the Huy they had freehold estates in various villages . These villages were , however , under the counts of Regenstein . In a clever move , the Wernigerode counts attempted to bind the subjects of these villages closer to them by granting timber rights in their forests in the Harz to the local farmers . For example , in 1253 , there is already mention of the " Hadebergeberg " ( now known as the " Heudeberberg " ) south of the Augustine hermitage of Himmelpforten Abbey , destroyed in 1525 . The Regenstein village of Heudeber was granted timber rights in this forest . Other villages were given similar rights by the counts of Wernigerode no later than the mid - 14th century in the woods right and left of the Holtemme and in the Dränge valley . As well as Heudeber , the villages of Reddeber , Danstedt , Ströbeck , Athenstedt , Aspenstedt , Sargstedt and Runstedt also benefited . These parishes , mainly located on the Huy , had certain privileges within a specified area of forest area , for which the expression " Achtwort " was coined at the beginning of the 15th century . In the circumstance of medieval Germany , the use of this forest area for these village which were approximately 10 to 30 kilometres away from the Harz , was very difficult . In order to protect them and better organize the management of the forest , a base at the foot of Harz was required .

By March 1942 , there were five companies of some 300 Germans and 900 Caucasians : In August 1942 , Bergmann went to the Eastern Front , where it saw its first action in the North Caucasus campaign in August 1942 . The unit engaged in anti - partisan actions in the Mozdok - Nalchik - Mineralnye Vody area and conducted reconnaissance and subversion in the Grozny area . At the end of 1942 , Bergmann conducted a successful sortie through the Soviet lines , bringing with them some 300 Red Army defectors , and covered the German retreat from the Caucasus . Bergmann went through a series of hard - fought engagements with the Soviet partisans and regular forces in the Crimea in February 1943 and was dissolved – like other Ostlegionen units – at the end of 1943 . The significantly shrunken ex - Bergmann companies were dispatched to conduct police functions in Greece and Poland . The Bergmann group used as insignia a traditional Caucasian dagger ( kindzhal ) with curving blade , worn on the left side of the cap . Made of yellow metal , it was 7 cm long .

Batajnica Air Base Batajnica Airbase ( ) is a military airbase in Serbia . The airport is located between the town of Batajnica and Nova Pazova , some 20 kilometers northwest of Belgrade . Batajnica is the only airport in Serbia with two asphalt runways . History . Construction of the airbase started in 1947 and was completed in 1951 , when the airbase was officially opened . The purpose of the airbase was to protect the capital from attack . One grass and two asphalted runways are used . It was known as 177th Air Base , which was its name until the 2006 reorganization . Batajnica was home of 204th Fighter - Aviation regiment , 138th Transport - Aviation Regiment and other units of Yugoslav Air Force . During the 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia the airbase was heavily bombed for 25 days and sustaining heavy damage . In June 2006 , two USAF F - 16 fighter jets , visited Batajnica airbase . It was the first official visit of USAF aircraft in more than 20 years and the first since the bombing . Civil usage . Civil aviation authorities in Serbia have speculated about the possibility to transform Batajnica to accept commercial flights from low - cost carrier s at some point in the future . Proponents argue that the air base is more ideally located than the neighboring Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport , just a few kilometers away , because of its close proximity to the E75 highway and direct rail link to the city , as well as its more favorable weather conditions . Under the proposal , the airbase would serve a dual purpose and continue to serve its military purpose but ownership of the airport would be transferred to the city authority . Units .

Elisha Small Elisha Small ( died December 1 , 1842 ) was an American sailor who was sailing with the rank of Seaman . He had served on several kinds of ships , including a slaver , before joining the United States Navy . In November 1842 , while serving aboad the brig USS " Somers " , during the return home from a voyage to Liberia , suspicion arose that Philip Spencer had formed a plan to seize the " Somers " and sail her as a pirate ship or slaver . His friendship with crew members Samuel Cromwell and Elisha Small was cited as evidence . On November 27 , 1842 , Small and Cromwell were formally accused of being part of Spencer ' s supposed plot to mutiny . After a council of officers decided that the threat of mutiny was real , all three men were hanged without court - martial on December 1 and were buried at sea . A court of inquiry was convened when the brig returned to New York . After a month of testimony , the commander was exonerated , but he requested that he be charged and tried by a court martial . The court martial acquitted him on a split vote . The government accepted the court ' s decision , but the acquittal did not satisfy public concerns with the case . Many commentators , including James Fenimore Cooper , denounced the hangings as murder and criticized the Navy ' s handling of the matter as an example of what today could be called a " whitewash . "
