Tudor Barn, Eltham

The Tudor Barn is a large brick barn in Eltham in the Royal Borough of Greenwich .

The Ropers lived next door in a manor house in the centre of a moat for several years .

William married Margaret More , the daughter of Thomas More , and one of the most learned women of sixteenth - century England .

It is a Grade II * listed building ( as Well Hall Art Gallery ) .

The west end of the Tudor Barn was mostly occupied by servants , as can be seen by the two huge chimneys there .

However , the barn was also used for storage .

It can be seen on old maps that the moat was directly connected to the Tudor Barn by a bridge .

Edith Nesbit , author of The Railway Children and co - ounder of the Fabian Society , lived in a house in the grounds of the Tudor Barn from 1899 to 1921 .

The Tudor Barn was refurbished in the 1930s .

The Woolwich Borough Council then decided that they would use the newly renovated barn as the centrepiece of a new park , which is known as Well Hall Pleasaunce .

The park opened in 1933 , and three years later an art gallery was opened on the ground floor of the barn .

This was not the council 's original intention , however ; they wanted a library and museum in the Tudor Barn , but these never materialised .

For years after the Second World War , the barn contained the art gallery , a restaurant and a room for weddings and events in the upstairs space .


Carl Linnaeus the Younger

Carl Linnaeus the Younger , Carl von Linné or Carolus Linnaeus the Younger ( 20 January 1741 – 1 November 1783 ) was a Swedish naturalist .

He is known as Linnaeus filius ( Latin for Linnaeus the son ; abbreviated to L.f . as a botanical authority ) to distinguish him from his famous father , the systematist Carl Linnaeus .

He was enrolled at the University of Uppsala at the age of nine and was taught science by his father 's students , including Pehr Löfling , Daniel Solander and Johan Peter Falk .

In 1763 , aged just 22 , he succeeded his father as the head of Practical Medicine at Uppsala .

His promotion to professor — without taking exams or defending a thesis — caused resentment among his colleagues .

Linnaeus ' work was modest in comparison to that of his father .

His best - known work is the Supplementum Plantarum systematis vegetabilium of 1781 , which contains botanical descriptions by the elder Linnaeus and his colleagues , edited and with additions by the son .

He inherited his father 's extensive scientific collections and correspondence and worked to preserve them .

When he died childless on 1 November 1783 his mother sold the collections to the English botanist Sir James Edward Smith , whose widow sold them to the Linnean Society of London .

Storm tides of the North Sea

Storm tides of the North Sea are coastal floods associated with low pressure weather systems in the North Sea , the severity of which are affected by the shallowness of the sea and the orientation of the shoreline relative to the storm 's path , as well as the timing of tides .

The water level can rise to more than 5 metres ( 17 ft ) above the normal tide as a result of storm tides .

Northern Germany and Denmark are particularly susceptible to storm tides .

The coastline of the German Bight forms an L - shape facing northwest .

Also vulnerable are the United Kingdom and the Netherlands , where the sea shallows and is funnelled toward the English Channel .

Storm tides are a regular occurrence in the North Sea basin ; several form each year .

Although most do not cause significant damage , the impact of some has been devastating .

During one , the February flood of 1825 , the Danish coastline changed , as the North Jutlandic Island became separated from the Jutland Peninsula .

Folsom tradition

The Folsom Complex is a name given by archaeologists to a specific Paleo - Indian archaeological culture that occupied much of central North America .

The term was first used in 1927 by Jesse Dade Figgins , director of the Colorado Museum of Natural History .

Numerous Paleoindian cultures occupied North America , with some restricted to the Great Plains and Great Lakes of the modern United States of America and Canada as well as adjacent areas to the west and south west .

The Folsom Tradition was characterised by use of Folsom points as projectile tips and activities known from kill sites where slaughter and butchering of bison took place and Folsom tools were left behind .

Some kill sites exhibit evidence of up to 50 bison being killed , although the Folsom diet apparently included mountain sheep , marmots , deer and cottontail rabbit as well .

A Folsom site at Hanson , Wyoming , also revealed areas of hardstanding , which indicate possible dwellings .

The type site is Folsom Site , near Folsom , New Mexico , in Colfax County ( 29CX1 ) , a marsh - side kill site found in about 1908 by George McJunkin , a cowboy and former slave who had lived in Texas as a child .

Archaeologists excavated the site in 1926 .

The Folsom Complex dates to between 9000 BC and 8000 BC and is thought to have derived from the earlier Clovis culture .

The Lindenmeier Site in Colorado is a campsite that was used throughout a longer period , spanning this era .


GOST (block cipher)

The GOST block cipher ( Magma ) , defined in the standard GOST 28147 - 89 ( RFC 5830 ) , is a Soviet and Russian government standard symmetric key block cipher with a block size of 64 bits .

The original standard , published in 1989 , did not give the cipher any name , but the most recent revision of the standard , GOST R 34.12 - 2015 , specifies that it may be referred to as Magma .

The GOST hash function is based on this cipher .

The new standard also specifies a new 128-bit block cipher called Kuznyechik .

Developed in the 1970s , the standard had been marked " Top Secret " and then downgraded to " Secret " in 1990 .

Shortly after the dissolution of the USSR , it was declassified and it was released to the public in 1994 .

GOST 28147 was a Soviet alternative to the United States standard algorithm , DES Thus , the two are very similar in structure .

Kaaterskill High Peak

Kaaterskill High Peak ( officially just High Peak ) is one of the Catskill Mountains , located in the Town of Hunter in Greene County , New York , United States .

It was once believed to be the highest peak in the entire range , but its summit , at 3,655 feet ( 1,114 m ) in elevation , places it only 23rd among the Catskill High Peaks .

It is , however , the fourth most prominent peak in the range .

Due to its situation as the easternmost High Peak , it is also the only one completely outside the watersheds of New York City 's reservoirs in the region .

Along with Round Top to the west , its distinctive ridgeline is a visual signature of the Catskills .

Even today , it dominates the view of the range from the Hudson Valley .

In the early 19th century , it was a frequent subject of works by Thomas Cole and other artists of the Hudson River school .

Their works helped establish the Catskill Mountain House and other hotels around North - South Lake as the fashionable summer vacation spot for wealthy Americans of the era .

Despite that popularity , the mountain was admired from afar more often than it was climbed .

Although it boasts the earliest recorded ascent of any Catskill peak , today it seems somewhat neglected , lacking an official trail to its summit .

However , a well - used path does exist , and perhaps because of the light use the mountain gets it is very popular with the area 's serious hikers , due to the views available from Hurricane Ledge south of the summit , and several other points of interest in the vicinity of the mountain .


.mil

The domain name mil is the sponsored top - level domain ( sTLD ) in the Domain Name System of the Internet for the United States Department of Defense and its subsidiary or affiliated organizations .

It was one of the first top - level domains , created in January 1985 .

The United States is the only country that has a top - level domain for its military , a legacy of the United States ' military role in the creation of the Internet .

Other countries often use second - level domains for this purpose , e.g. , mod.uk for the United Kingdom 's Ministry of Defence .

Canada uses norad.mil with the United States as they jointly operate the North American Aerospace Defense Command .

Despite having a dedicated top - level domain , the US military also uses com domains for some of its recruitment sites , such as goarmy.com , as well as for the Defense Commissary Agency 's website www.commissaries.com and most non - appropriated fund instrumentalities such as military MWR organizations and military exchanges .

Also , the military uses edu domains for its service academies : the United States Military Academy , United States Coast Guard Academy , United States Naval Academy , and the United States Air Force Academy can all be reached using either an edu or a mil domain name .

The official athletic program sites of the three academies that are members of NCAA Division I ( Army , Navy , Air Force ) use com domains , as well as Coast Guard , which is a member of NCAA Division III .

The Department of Defense itself uses gov for its home page , with at least three second - level domains within mil ( defense , dod , and pentagon ) redirecting to its domain name www.defense.gov .

The United States Coast Guard , like other military services , uses the mil domain , although during statutory peacetime the service falls under the United States Department of Homeland Security .

Big Drift

The Big Drift is in Glacier National Park , in the U.S. state of Montana and is an area along the Going - to - the - Sun Road where a large amount of winter snow can accumulate to depths of .

Located immediately east of Logan Pass , the westerly winds push snow over the crest of the Continental Divide onto the eastern flank of a long arête which extends south from Pollock Mountain .

West of the divide , this arête is known as the Garden Wall .

As spring approaches , the region is surveyed by helicopter in preparation for snow removal that will be needed in order to reopen the Going - to - the - Sun Road for the summer season .

By early April , snow removal crews working from either end of the roadway have begun to ascend the steeper east and west slopes of the Lewis Range .

The area of the Big Drift is usually reached by late May , and it often can take a month to clear this one stretch of road that is slightly more than in length .

Survey crews identify avalanche hazards and help to locate the road using global positioning equipment .

Large cornices are usually removed using explosives , then excavators and front - end loaders move the snow over the cliffsides or into dump trucks .

The entire Going - to - the - Sun Road takes about ten weeks to plow , even with equipment that can move 4,000 short tons of snow an hour .

By the first of June of each year , the Logan Pass visitor center can usually be reached by vehicle from at least one side of the Continental Divide .

In 2011 , due to abnormally heavy late winter and early spring snowfall , the Going - to - the - Sun Road did not open until July 13th , the latest opening ever due to snow .

Outside of the domestic Greek criminal organizations , the Sicilian Mafia , Camorra , and Albanian , Russian and Georgian mafia groups have been operating in Greece in collaboration with the domestic criminal syndicates .

In the United States , the term " Greek mafia " may also include or refer specifically to various Greek - American organized crime groups .

Notable ethnic Greek or Greek - American organized crime groups in the United States include the Philadelphia Greek Mob in Philadelphia , Pennsylvania and the Velentzas crime family in New York City .

Greek - American crime groups vary in the extent of their connections to Greek mafia groups in Europe ; some Greek - American crime groups may be only loosely connected or even completely independent of Greek mafia groups in Europe , while certain Greek - American crime groups may essentially be American extensions of Greek mafia groups in Europe .


Ka' du se hva' jeg sa'?

( " Can you see , ( that 's ) what I told you ?

" , literally : " Do you see what I said ? " )

was the Danish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1988 , performed in Danish by Kirsten & Søren ( a duo who had previously entered as Hot Eyes ) .

The song was performed thirteenth on the night , following Austria 's Wilfried with " Lisa Mona Lisa " and preceding Greece 's Afroditi Frida with " Clown " .

At the close of voting , it had received 92 points , placing 3rd in a field of 21 .

The song describes a particularly difficult personality type — who " knows everything for certain " and " whistles if it turns out you 're at fault " .

Over the course of the song , this person is gradually revealed to be the person to whom the song is being sung in the first place .

The performance is perhaps more memorable for the fact that the female half of the duo ( Kirsten Siggard ) was heavily pregnant at the time and would give birth only three weeks after the contest .

It was succeeded as Danish representative at the 1989 Contest by Birthe Kjær with " Vi maler byen rød " .

Pope Fabian

Pope Fabian (; c. 200 – 20 January 250 ) was the Bishop of Rome from 10 January 236 to his death in 250 , succeeding Anterus .

He is famous for the miraculous nature of his election , in which a dove is said to have descended on his head to mark him as the Holy Spirit 's unexpected choice to become the next pope .

Most of his papacy was characterized by amicable relations with the imperial government , and Fabian could thus bring back to Rome the bodies of Pope Pontian and the antipope Hippolytus , both of whom had died in exile in the Sardinian mines , for Christian burial .

It was also probably during his reign that the schism between the two corresponding Roman congregations of these leaders was ended .

He was highly esteemed by Cyprian ; Novatian refers to his nobilissima memoriae , and he corresponded with Origen .

One authority refers to him as Flavian .

The Liber Pontificalis , a fourth - century document that survives in later copies , says that he divided Rome into diaconates and appointed secretaries to collect the records of the martyrs .

He is also said , probably without basis , to have baptized the emperor Philip the Arab and his son .

More plausible is the report in the Liberian Catalogue that he sent out seven " apostles to the Gauls " as missionaries .

He died a martyr at the beginning of the Decian persecution and is venerated as a saint by the Catholic Church .

Fabian 's feast day is commemorated on January 20 , the same as Saint Sebastian , in whose church his sepulcher lies in Rome .

Upper Klamath Lake ( sometimes called Klamath Lake ) ( Klamath : ? ews , " lake " ) is a large , shallow freshwater lake east of the Cascade Range in south - central Oregon in the United States .

The largest body of fresh water by surface area in Oregon , it is approximately long and wide and extends northwest from the city of Klamath Falls .

In the early 20th century , most of the wetlands and marshes surrounding the lake were drained for agricultural purposes , damaging the larger habitat .

The lake 's water has been used to support the federal Klamath Project for irrigation by local farmers for a century .

The lake depth fluctuates due to regulation of its water supply , averaging between deep .

The lake level is kept within above sea level to ensure a viable fishery in the lake and to protect coho salmon in the Klamath River below the lake .

Upper Klamath Lake is fed by a watershed of including the Williamson and Wood Rivers , and is drained by the Klamath River ( known here as the Link River ) , which issues from the south end of the lake .

PortsToronto

PortsToronto ( PT ) , formerly known as the Toronto Port Authority ( TPA ) , is responsible for the management of the harbour of Toronto , Ontario , Canada and the Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport .

It is a federally - incorporated agency , with directors appointed by three levels of government : the Government of Canada , through the Minister of Transport , Government of Ontario and the City of Toronto .

The agency changed its name in 2015 to PortsToronto .

The organization is the successor to the Toronto Harbour Commission ( THC ) which had managed Toronto Harbour since 1911 , paid for through government transfers , harbour and airport fees .

As part of a Canada - wide plan of the Government of Canada to turn government commissions into self - sufficient agencies , the TPA was set up in 1999 to take over the harbour and airport functions of the THC .

This was done against the wishes of the City of Toronto , which had been transferring THC harbour lands to City agencies for redevelopment .

The City had planned to take over the harbour administration as a direct city function .

The new mission , to be self - sufficient , led the agency to pursue opportunities to increase its revenues , including expansion of the island airport , and the building of a cruise ship terminal .

The agency built a working relationship with startup airline Porter Airlines and , despite the 2003 cancelling of a permanent bridge to the airport , has been successful in increasing air traffic at the airport to the point where it turned a profit in 2008 .

It has since built a pedestrian tunnel to the airport .

In contrast , the cruise ship facility has been little - used after the failure of a ferry to Rochester , New York .

The TPA 's efforts in partnership with Porter to expand the airport has placed it in opposition to various communities in Toronto and Toronto City Council , which in 2003 cancelled a TPA - planned bridge to the airport .

Additionally , the agency has been involved in several disputes , including a land dispute , harbour fees and property taxes with the City , and lawsuits over the operation of the airport with Air Canada .

In 2013 , Porter proposed an expansion of the airport to support the introduction of jet airplanes to the airport .

Toronto City Council refused to endorse the proposal and sent it to the TPA for study .

The jet proposal was cancelled in December 2015 after the newly elected Liberal federal government announced it would not renegotiate the operating agreement of the airport to allow jets .

Russian opera

Russian opera ( Russian : Ру́сская о́пера Rússkaya ópera ) is the art of opera in Russia .

Operas by composers of Russian origin , written or staged outside of Russia , also belong to this category , as well as the operas of foreign composers written or intended for the Russian scene .

These are not only Russian - language operas .

There are examples of Russian operas written in French , English , Italian , Latin , Ancient Greek , Japanese , or the multitude of languages of the nationalities that were part of the Empire and the Soviet Union .

Russian opera includes the works of such composers as Glinka , Mussorgsky , Borodin , Tchaikovsky , Rimsky - Korsakov , Stravinsky , Prokofiev and Shostakovich .

Searching for its typical and characteristic features , Russian opera ( and Russian music as a whole ) , has often been under strong foreign influence .

Italian , French , and German operas have served as examples , even when composers sought to introduce special , national elements into their work .

This dualism , to a greater or lesser degree , has persisted throughout the whole history of Russian opera .

Auisle

Auisle or Óisle ( or ; died c. 867 ) was a Viking leader in Ireland and Scotland in the mid - late ninth century .

He was the son of the king of Lochlann , identified in the non - contemporary Fragmentary Annals of Ireland as Gofraid , and brother of Amlaíb Conung and Ímar , the latter of whom founded the Uí Ímair dynasty , and whose descendants would go on to dominate the Irish Sea region for several centuries .

Another Viking leader , Halfdan Ragnarsson , is sometimes considered a brother .

The Irish Annals title Auisle , Ímar and Amlaíb " kings of the foreigners " .

Modern scholars use the title " kings of Dublin " after the Viking settlement which formed the base of their power .

Auisle is mentioned three times in contemporary annals .

In the first entry , dated 863 , he and his brothers are recorded as having raided Brega , including underground tombs at Achad Aldai , Cnodba , and Dubad .

The second , dated 866 , records Auisle and Amlaíb raiding Pictland , taking away many hostages .

In the final entry , dated 867 , the death of Auisle at the hands of unnamed kinsmen is reported .

According to the later Fragmentary Annals his brothers Amlaíb and Ímar plotted his death , with Amlaíb striking the killing blow .

Durian

The durian ( ) is the fruit of several tree species belonging to the genus Durio .

There are 30 recognised Durio species , at least nine of which produce edible fruit , with over 100 named varieties in Indonesia , 300 in Thailand and 100 in Malaysia .

Durio zibethinus is the only species available in the international market : other species are sold in their local regions .

Regarded by many people in Southeast Asia as the " king of fruits " , the durian is distinctive for its large size , strong odour , and thorn - covered rind .

The fruit can grow as large as long and in diameter , and it typically weighs one to three kilograms ( 2 to 7 lb ) .

Its shape ranges from oblong to round , the colour of its husk green to brown , and its flesh pale yellow to red , depending on the species .

Some people regard the durian as having a pleasantly sweet fragrance , whereas others find the aroma overpowering with an unpleasant odour .

The smell evokes reactions from deep appreciation to intense disgust , and has been described variously as rotten onions , turpentine , and raw sewage .

The persistence of its odour , which may linger for several days , has led to the fruit 's banishment from certain hotels and public transportation in southeast Asia .

By contrast , the nineteenth - century British naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace described its flesh as " a rich custard highly flavoured with almonds " .

The flesh can be consumed at various stages of ripeness , and it is used to flavour a wide variety of savoury and sweet desserts in southeast Asian cuisines .

The seeds can also be eaten when cooked .


Herrerasauridae

Herrerasaurids are dinosaurs appearing at around 223.23 million years ago ( Late Triassic ) .

These dinosaurs became extinct by the end of the Triassic period .

Herrerasaurids were small - sized ( normally not more than long ) carnivorous basal saurischians .

The best known representatives of this group are from South America ( Brazil , Argentina ) , where they were first discovered in the 1960s .

A nearly complete skeleton of Herrerasaurus ischigulastensis was discovered in the Ischigualasto Formation in San Juan , Argentina , in 1988 .

Less complete herrerasaurids have been found in North America , and they may have inhabited other continents as well .

Herrerasaurid anatomy is unusual and specialized , and they are not considered to be ancestral to any later dinosaur group .

They only superficially resemble theropods and often present a mixture of very primitive and derived traits .

The acetabulum is only partly open , and there are only two sacral vertebrae , the lowest number among dinosaurs .

The pubic bone has a derived structure , being rotated somewhat posteriorly and folded to create a superficially tetanuran - like terminal expansion , especially prominent in H. ischigulastensis .

The hand is primitive in having five metacarpals and the third finger longer than the second , but resembles those of theropods in having only three long fingers , with curved claws .

Herrerasaurids also have a hinged mandible , which is also found in theropods .


Horizontal and vertical writing in East Asian scripts

Many East Asian scripts can be written horizontally or vertically .

Chinese , Japanese and Korean scripts can be oriented in either direction , as they consist mainly of disconnected logographic or syllabic units , each occupying a square block of space , thus allowing for flexibility for which direction texts can be written , be it horizontally from left - to - right , horizontally from right - to - left , vertically from top - to - bottom , and even vertically from bottom - to - top .

Horizontal writing is known in Chinese as hengpai ( ) , in Japanese as yokogaki ( , " horizontal writing " , also yokogumi , ) , and in Korean as garosseugi ( ) or hoengseo (; ) .

Vertical writing is known respectively as zongpai ( ) , tategaki ( , " vertical writing " , also tategumi , ) , or serosseugi ( ) or jongseo (; ) .

Traditionally , Chinese , Japanese , and Korean are written vertically in columns going from top to bottom and ordered from right to left , with each new column starting to the left of the preceding one .

The stroke order and stroke direction of Chinese characters ( hanzi in Chinese , kanji in Japanese , hanja in Korean ) , Japanese kana , and Korean Hangul all facilitate writing in this manner .

In addition , writing in vertical columns from right to left facilitated writing with a brush in the right hand while continually unrolling the sheet of paper or scroll with the left .

Since the nineteenth century , it has become increasingly common for these languages to be written horizontally , from left to right , with successive rows going from top to bottom , under the influence of European languages such as English , although vertical writing is still frequently used in Hong Kong , Japan , Macau , Korea , and Taiwan .

Chevrolet Chevette

The Chevrolet Chevette is a front - engine , rear - drive subcompact car manufactured and marketed by Chevrolet for the model years 1976 - 1987 in three - door and five - door hatchback body styles .

Introduced in September 1975 , the Chevette superseded the Vega as Chevrolet 's entry - level subcompact , and sold 2.8 million units over 12 years .

The Chevette was the best - selling small car in the U.S. for model years 1979 and 1980 .

The Chevette employed General Motors ' global T platform .

Worldwide , GM manufactured and marketed more than 7 million T - cars — rebadged variants using the T platform — including the Pontiac Acadian in Canada , Pontiac T1000/1000 in the United States ( 1981 - 1987 ) , K-180 in Argentina , Vauxhall Chevette , Opel Kadett , Isuzu Gemini , Holden Gemini , and as a coupe utility ( pickup ) , the Chevy 500 .

A T - car variant remained in production in South America through 1998 .


Volume boot record

A volume boot record ( VBR ) ( also known as a volume boot sector , a partition boot record or a partition boot sector ) is a type of boot sector introduced by the IBM Personal Computer .

It may be found on a partitioned data storage device , such as a hard disk , or an unpartitioned device , such as a floppy disk , and contains machine code for bootstrapping programs ( usually , but not necessarily , operating systems ) stored in other parts of the device .

On non - partitioned storage devices , it is the first sector of the device .

On partitioned devices , it is the first sector of an individual partition on the device , with the first sector of the entire device being a Master Boot Record ( MBR ) containing the partition table .

The code in volume boot records is invoked either directly by the machine 's firmware or indirectly by code in the master boot record or a boot manager .

Code in the MBR and VBR is in essence loaded the same way .

Invoking a VBR via a boot manager is known as chain loading .

Some dual - boot systems , such as NTLDR ( the boot loader for all releases of Microsoft 's Windows NT - derived operating systems up to and including Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 ) , take copies of the bootstrap code that individual operating systems install into a single partition 's VBR and store them in disc files , loading the relevant VBR content from file after the boot loader has asked the user which operating system to bootstrap .

In Windows Vista , Windows Server 2008 and newer versions , NTLDR was replaced ; the boot - loader functionality is instead provided by two new components : WINLOAD.EXE and the Windows Boot Manager .

In file systems such as FAT12 ( except for in DOS 1.x ) , FAT16 , FAT32 , HPFS and NTFS , the VBR also contains a BIOS Parameter Block ( BPB ) that specifies the location and layout of the principal on - disk data structures for the file system .

( A detailed discussion of the sector layout of FAT VBRs , the various FAT BPB versions and their entries can be found in the FAT article . )

Best Wishes (Cro-Mags album)

Best Wishes is the second album by New York hardcore band , Cro - Mags .

It was released on April 26 , 1989 on Profile Records and was subsequently re - released on Another Planet – along with their debut album , The Age Of Quarrel , on the same disc .

The album 's cover reflected the band 's interest in the Hare Krishna religion which started with previous singer John Joseph and then carried on through Harley Flanagan who also became a devotee .

The Krishna faith was ultimately the demise of the band , as the contradiction of a faith of pacifism against the violence of the band 's music was often even too much for the band members to handle .

However , before this , in 1992 , their next album , Alpha Omega , saw the return of John Joseph to the Cro - Mags fold , and an even further gravitation towards a metal sound .


Military history of Australia during the Vietnam War

Australia 's involvement in the Vietnam War began with a small commitment of 30 military advisors in 1962 , and increased over the following decade to a peak of 7,672 Australian personnel following the Menzies Government 's April 1965 decision to upgrade its military commitment to South Vietnam 's security .

By the time the last Australian personnel were withdrawn in 1972 , the Vietnam War had become Australia 's longest war , and was only recently surpassed by Australia 's long term commitment of combat forces to the War in Afghanistan .

It remains Australia 's largest force contribution to a foreign conflict since the Second World War and was also the most controversial in Australian society since the conscription controversy during the First World War .

Although initially enjoying broad support due to concerns about the spread of communism in Southeast Asia , a vocal anti - war movement developed in response to Australia 's programme of conscription .

The withdrawal of Australia 's forces from South Vietnam began in November 1970 , under the Gorton Government , when 8 RAR completed its tour of duty and was not replaced .

A phased withdrawal followed , and by 11 January 1973 Australian involvement in hostilities in Vietnam had ceased .

Nevertheless , Australian troops from the Australian Embassy Platoon remained deployed in the country until 1 July 1973 , and Australian forces were deployed briefly in April 1975 , during the Fall of Saigon , to evacuate personnel from the Australian embassy .

Approximately 60,000 Australians served in the war ; 521 were killed and more than 3,000 were wounded .

Mandalselva

Mandalselva or Mandalsåni or Marna ( English : Mandal River , Old Norse : Mǫrn ) is a river in Vest - Agder county in Norway .

Rasovi

Rasovi ( poglavice , knezovi ) was the unofficial name given originally to five extremely influential Ustaše who returned from exile to Zagreb in April 1941 with their leader Ante Pavelić .

They were Eugen Kvaternik , Ante Moskov , Vilko Pečnikar , Ivo Herenčić and Erih Lisak .

When Pavelić became leader ( Poglavnik ) of the Independent State of Croatia ( Croatian : Nezavisna Država Hrvatska , NDH ) they retained his respect and trust as fellow émigrés , and he appointed them to senior government positions in which they were able to operate with extensive autonomy .

Later Eugen Kvaternik sided with his father Slavko Kvaternik in a conflict with Pavelić and fell into disfavour .

The " Rasovi " were thus reduced to four , who were then joined by three powerful Ustaša colonels - Vjekoslav " Maks " Luburić , Vjekoslav Servatzy and Rafael Boban .

The " Rasovi " were extremists , generally mistrusted - sometimes feared - by members of the Domobranstvo ( home guard ) .

They were certainly feared by many in the NDH civilian population , particularly Serbs but also those in the smaller Roma and Jewish minorities .

The Rasovi and their followers were responsible for many of the atrocities perpetrated by the Ustaša regime in the period 1941 - 1945 .


Prince John of the United Kingdom

Prince John of the United Kingdom ( John Charles Francis ; 12 July 1905 – 18 January 1919 ) was the fifth son and youngest of the six children born to King George V and his wife , Queen Mary .

At the time of John 's birth , his father was the Prince of Wales and heir apparent to the reigning monarch of the United Kingdom , King Edward VII .

In 1910 , George succeeded to the throne upon Edward 's death and John became the fifth in line of succession .

In 1909 , John was discovered to have epilepsy .

As his condition deteriorated , he was sent to live at Sandringham House and was kept away from the public eye .

There , he was cared for by his governess , " Lala " Bill , and befriended local children whom his mother had gathered to be his playmates .

Prince John died at Sandringham in 1919 , following a severe seizure , and was buried at nearby St Mary Magdalene Church .

His illness was disclosed to the wider public only after his death .

Prince John 's alleged seclusion has subsequently been brought forward as evidence for the inhumanity of the royal family .

However , records show that the Prince was in some ways given favourable treatment by his parents , in comparison with his siblings , and contrary to the belief that he was hidden from the public from an early age , John for most of his life was a " fully - fledged member of the family " , appearing frequently in public until after his eleventh birthday .

His long acknowledged learning disability and a possible intellectual disability have both been linked to his severe epilepsy ; recent speculation finds some behaviours consistent with autism .

Queen Fu

Queen Fu ( 苻王后 , personal name unknown ) was a queen of the Chinese / Xianbei state Western Qin .

Her husband was Qifu Gangui ( King Wuyuan ) .

She was a younger sister of the Former Qin emperor Fu Deng ( Emperor Gao ) , and he created her Princess Dongping .

In 394 , with his forces having been nearly wiped out by the rival Later Qin 's emperor Yao Xing , Fu Deng sought aid from Western Qin , and as part of the agreement , married her to Qifu Gangui .

However , later that year , Fu Deng was captured and killed by Yao Xing .

Subsequently , Qifu Gangui , notwithstanding the marital relations , expelled Fu Deng 's son and successor Fu Chong , who then tried to attack Qifu Gangui but was defeated and killed in battle , ending Former Qin .

No further reference was made to Queen Fu , and since his first wife Queen Bian was the one mentioned as being created queen after he lost his state to Later Qin but reestablished in 409 , the table below assumes that she was deposed , and Queen Bian restored , after Former Qin 's destruction .
