1st Battalion, Arkansas State Troops
–
The 1st Battalion, Arkansas State Troops was an Arkansas State Cavalry battalion during the American Civil War. The unit is also some times referred to as Pettus Battalion or Traders Battalion, the unit was eventually consolidated with other units in late 1864 to form the Newtons 10th Arkansas Cavalry Regiment. After the fall of Little Rock, recruiting was far more difficult than it had been in the first years of the war, the remaining Confederate regiments were plagued by desertions. On September 16,1863, in the aftermath of the fall of the state capitol. The Governors order directed the regiments to march to Arkadelphia at the earliest possible day, companies were to be mounted and commanders were to compel persons evading the call to come to the rendezvous. The intent was to companies of twelve-month mounted volunteers. Only six physicians, one druggist, millers to supply the wants of the country, clerks, sheriffs, postmasters, and persons in the employ of the Confederate States were exempted from the order. The order succeeded so well as to get organized in the counties where the call for the militia was enforced which resulted in seven companies being collected under the call. Flanagin also stated that the troops raised by the State are more than all the troops raised by volunteering, or by the conscript law. Col. Trader remained in command of the troops until he resigned in June 1864. On January 14,1864, Governor Flanagin, through General Peay, issued General Orders, Company B – of Clark County, Captain Reuben C. Company C – of Sevier County, Captain Allen T. Pettus, Company D – of Polk County, Captain G. A. Hale, commanding. Company E – of Hot Spring County, Captain John W. Dyer, Allen T. Pettus was elected Lieutenant Colonel of this battalion. The 1st Battalion, Arkansas State Troops performed routine duties in the general area between Washington and Arkadelphia during the winter of 1863-64. The Battalion was commanded by Colonel W. H. Trader during this period, both the troops and Colonel Trader were cited for gallant conduct during the battle. Red River Campaign, Arkansas March–May,1864, Battle of Poison Springs, Arkansas, April 18,1864. Battle of Marks Mills, Arkansas, April 25,1864, Robert C. Newton assigned to the command of the regiment until an election could be held for field officers. The companies of this regiment included, Company A — Capt, reed, composed of men from Clark County

1st Force Reconnaissance Company
–
1st Force Recon Company was deactivated 26 October 2006 and the majority of the personnel were used to create 1st Marine Special Operations Battalion. In 2008 Delta Company, 1st Recon Company was redesignated the I MEF Force Reconnaissance Company and it continues to provide I Marine Expeditionary Force and its subordinate MAGTFs with Corps level reconnaissance, battlespace shaping and direct action raids. 1st Force Recon Company was tasked with 9 Mission Essential Tasks, 1st Force would often be augmented by reserve forces from 3d and 4th Force Recon Companies for combat deployments. First Force Reconnaissance Company was activated on 19 June 1957 at Camp Margarita, Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, many Marines from the amphib recon company and 1st Reconnaissance Battalion augmented the new Fleet Marine Force-level reconnaissance capabilities to force commanders. The Companys first company commander was Major Bruce F. Meyers, 1st Force Recon pioneered the High Altitude Low Opening parachuting technique in 1958 that allowed for a more secure and accurate insertion of a deep reconnaissance team. 1st Platoon, Sub Unit #1, embarked onto the USS Cook and sailed for southern Thailand, to the Royal Thai Navy base of Sattahip, in December 1964. The 1st Platoon conducted reconnaissance patrols with the Royal Thai Marine Corps, by the end of January, they finished their recon operations in Thailand and sailed for Vietnam for the planned amphibious landings in March 1965. The sub unit was the first Force Recon unit to serve in Republic of Vietnam and was led by Captain David Whittingham and they operated from Da Nang, Phu Bai, Chu Lai, Gia Vuc and Kham Duc, in the I Corps Tactical Zone. November 1965, 2nd Platoon was attached to the Special Forces team A-106 at Ba To. A combined patrol from Ba To was attacked on the night of the 16 December, by mid-December 1965, 3rd platoon arrived in the Republic of Vietnam and was attached to Special Forces team A-107 at Tra Bong. The rest of the Force Recon Company arrived in June 1965, 1st Force was deactivated on 30 September 1974 and its personnel rolled into the deep reconnaissance company of 1st Reconnaissance Battalion. The 11th MEU Force Reconnaissance Platoon supported a Non-combatant evacuation operation in Asmara, Eritrea, Operation Safe Departure was conducted as a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of American citizens in the midst of a heated border dispute between Eritrea and Ethiopia. All total,172 persons, to include 105 Americans, were evacuated to Amman, Jordan. The Force Recon platoon provided embassy reinforcement and security for the MEU forward command element, Force Reconnaissance Marines on the 11th MEU, 13th MEU and 15th MEU supported humanitarian assistance operations in East Timor in 1999 and 2000. In 1990 1st Force Reconnaissance company was deployed to Kuwait in support of Operation Desert Shield, Force Reconnaissance Marines established observation posts and conducted motorized patrols along the Kuwaiti Border. Operation Desert Storm was launched in January 1991, two teams infiltrated the Mogadishu port facility, established observation positions at the Mogadishu airport and supported a raid company from 1st Battalion, 7th Marines with fire support. The remainder of 1st Force flew into the airport and conducted reconnaissance, in 2005-2006, 1st Force Recon Company, augmented with platoons from 3d and 4th Force, participated in the Operation Iraqi Freedom. Platoons participated in campaigns during this time to include Operation Matador in the city of Al Qaim

1st Raider/Paratrooper Brigade (Greece)
–
The 1st Raider/Paratrooper Brigade, is a brigade-sized formation of elite Greek light infantry and special operations forces. The formation is commonly referred to as the Raider Forces. The nucleus of the Raider units was the Sacred Squadron, a Free Greek unit of commandos attached to the Allied 1st Special Air Service Brigade during the Second World War. Its members consisted of officers and NCOs who had fled to North Africa after the fall of Greece to Axis forces. The Sacred Squadron was later transferred to the Greek theatre of operations, after the liberation of Greece from German occupation, a proposal was made for the reformation of the Hellenic Armed Forces under British guidance. This proposal included the establishment of a small, highly trained, the Mountain Raider Companies or LOK, were formed on 20 January 1947 and began operations almost immediately in Greeces mountainous terrain. Beta Raider Squadron was formed at Vouliagmeni, Athens in August 1947 and took part in Civil War operations in Thessaly, Central Greece, Epirus, West Macedonia and Euboea. Delta Raider Squadron was established at the city of Volos, Thessaly in December 1947. Epsilon Raider Squadron was formed in April 1949 and took part in Civil War operations until December 1949, by 1949, the LOK squadrons were so successful against the communist insurgents that the Raider Forces Command was expanded to two brigades. In the late 1960s, the Greek Central Intelligence Service, a tool of the KYP and CIA, a LOK detachment played a part in the 1967 Greek coup détat by storming and securing the Army General Staff buildings at Cholargos, Athens. A further restructuring of the Greek Army in 1996 saw the amalgamation of all Raider Forces regiments into the current Brigade formation, 1st Raider/Paratrooper Brigade soldiers wear the standard-issue Greek Lizard camouflage BDUs of the Hellenic Army. Members of the Special Paratrooper Unit and Z MAK may occasionally wear non-standard issue BDUs, all members of the Brigade wear the unit insignia depicting a winged sword, representative of the deadly, silent and swift nature of special forces operations. A scroll runs across the sword and wings with the motto Who Dares Wins, the unit flash is emblazoned with ΔΥΝΑΜΕΙΣ ΚΑΤΑΔΡΟΜΩΝ. While on operation, low-visibility patches are worn, all Raiders wear the green beret with the national emblem on the left. They are the Brigades contribution to the Defence Ministrys DESAA, the Multi-Branch Operational Rapid Response Command, along with the Hellenic Navys DYK, the formation is also known as Force Delta.

1st Special Forces Group (United States)
–
The 1st Special Forces Group is a U. S. Army Special Forces unit that was activated on 24 June 1957 at Camp Drake, Japan. It was among the first groups of the Special Forces to be officially formed, the group is responsible for operations in the Pacific. 1st Special Forces Group holds the distinction of having the first, however, his son appealed to the National Park Service, and in 1983 Captain Cramers name was added to the Memorial. Special Forces, which had grown to a total of seven groups in 1963, faced severe cuts in the army, as a result 1st Group was De-activated 28 June 1974 at Ft. Bragg. After a 10-year hiatus the need for an Asian unconventional warfare force was recognized and Alpha Company and this company and the remainder of 1st Battalion were assembled and deployed to Torii Station, Okinawa during the spring and summer of 1984. The 2nd and 3rd Battalions, along with Headquarters and Service Company were officially reactivated 4 September 1984 at Fort Lewis, unit members supported theater security engagement within the PACOM area of operations, contingency operations in Haiti, Central Asia, and Bosnia. Operational Detachments Alphas deployed to Haiti to conduct Coalition Support Team missions in 1993–94 in support of U. S, Joint Task Force 190 and Multi-National Force operations supporting OPERATION UPHOLD DEMOCRACY. Additional ODAs conducted Humanitarian Demining Operations in Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, by the end of the millennium, 1st SFG soldiers had deployed in support of OPERATION JOINT GUARD. Due to its efforts, the Province of Basilan was no longer a haven for terrorists, throughout 2003–2004, the 1st SFG deployed many soldiers in support of OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM and OPERATION ENDURING FREEDOM in Iraq and Afghanistan. By November 2004 the unit deployed a battalion to Afghanistan as part of the Combined Joint Special Operations Task Force- Afghanistan

2d Air Refueling Squadron
–
The 2d Air Refueling Squadron is a unit of the United States Air Force. It is part of the 305th Air Mobility Wing at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, the 2d ARS is the second-oldest squadron in the Air Force, having over 100 years of service to the nation. It was re-formed as an air refueling squadron by Strategic Air Command in 1949, today, it operates the KC-10 Extender aircraft, conducting aerial refueling missions. The squadron was activated on 12 May 1915 by the Aviation Section and it was the second to be organized in the United States Army, as noted by its numerical designation. It was organized at Rockwell Field, San Diego, California, where the only Aviation School at that time was located, other members were taken from the 1st Aero Squadron, then the only completely equipped squadron in the Army. It was the policy of the Aviation School to completely train, the squadron consisted of six flying officers and thirty-nine enlisted men, primarily mechanics. Two officers and ten men were transferred from the 1st Aero Squadron and it sailed from San Francisco for Manila on 5 January 1916. After two weeks of quarantine, the unit reached its station on Corregidor on 14 February without aircraft and it was the first complete aviation unit assigned outside of the United States. The 2d received four Martin S-Hydro seaplanes on 13 March and 15 April, a radio transmitter was set up in one aircraft, giving the aircraft a broadcast range of 29 miles. On 28 June, the company provided artillery spotting and adjustment for target practice with the Fort Mills batteries, personnel for a second company were assembled and the unit was re-designated the 2d Aero Squadron on 20 July 1917. After the United States entered World War I, the squadron was ordered back to the United States and it sailed from Manila on 15 October 1917, arriving in San Francisco on 17 November. It was immediately transferred to Kelly Field, Texas, reaching the post on 22 November, many of the men of the squadron were assigned to Call Field, Wichita Falls, Texas. The remainder of the squadron was sent to Kelly Field #2, at Field #2, the mechanics began assembling Curtiss JN-4D Trainers. After a few months, the men had time to worry about their assignment at Kelly Field when suddenly various squadrons began to be ordered for overseas duty in France. The men of the squadron began to submit requests to be included in these outgoing squadrons. Some transfers were approved, however, most were retained at Kelly Field, the 2d squadron was assigned to Advanced Cross Country and Aerobatic flight training. The squadron was re-designated as Squadron A, Kelly Field, on 1 July 1918, at the end of the war, only six members of the squadron remained from the initial cadre that was formed up in San Diego in 1915. The squadron was demobilized on 18 November 1918, after World War I, the unit was re-organized as a new organization, designated as the 2d Aero Squadron on 3 June 1919 at Rockwell Field, California

3-D Man
–
3-D Man is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Although his adventures take place in the 1950s, the character was created by Roy Thomas in the 1970s in the anthology series Marvel Premiere. The character was writer Thomas homage to the Joe Simon and Jack Kirby character Captain 3-D, the character also appeared in Incredible Hulk #251–252, Contest of Champions, and What If vol. 3-D Man did not appear again for years, until he was reintroduced in Avengers Forever #4 and appeared in Avengers #50–55. Brothers Chuck and Hal Chandler were born in Los Angeles, California, as a test pilot for NASA in 1958, Chuck was piloting the experimental XF-13 rocket plane when he was captured by Skrull invaders. They attempted to interrogate him, but Chuck escaped, damaging the Skrulls warp drive in the process, the Skrull saucer exploded as Chuck flew away, exposing him to strange radiation. He crashed the XF-13 in the Mojave Desert, and when his younger, crippled brother Hal attempted to rescue him, Chuck disappeared, believed to have been killed. Hal, a research scientist, discovered that Chucks image had been imprinted on the lenses of his glasses, when Hal wore the glasses and concentrated, he triggered a dimensional shift that caused Chuck to materialize into a three-dimensional existence. In his new form Chuck wore a green and red bodysuit, and his strength, speed. As the costumed 3-D Man, Chuck fought another group of Skrull agents and he battled more Skrull infiltrators, and then battled the Cold Warrior. At some point after his 1950s adventures Hal Chandler decided to stop functioning as 3-D Man, after this encounter, 3-D Man returned into his brothers glasses, determined never to return. However, alongside many other costumed heroes, he was summoned briefly by the Grandmaster, the Skrull ship that had captured Chuck Chandler had also found one of the light pyramids, and the ships explosion infused Chuck with the pyramids power. Tremont and the Understanding then drained the tri-power from a captive Hal and empowered Triune member and disgraced former Olympic athlete Delroy Garrett, dubbing him Triathlon. Donning the goggles awakened one of the original 3-D Mans powers in Garrett, with these goggles, Garrett played an important role in Marvels Secret Invasion, outing several Skrull infiltrators placed within the Initiative. Garrett managed to maintain this new ability even after the goggles were destroyed in combat, the Chandler brothers received their superhuman abilities through exposure to an unknown radiation in the explosion of a Skrull starship. Hal Chandler could, by concentrating on the image of his brother Chuck imprinted on his glasses, summon a super-powered version of his brother, Chuck had a telepathic link with Hal, who would lose consciousness and become comatose when the 3-D Man is active. The 3-D Mans consciousness is apparently a synthesis of Chuck and Hals minds, the 3-D Man wore a specially designed NASA flight suit, altered in appearance and bonded to his skin. As 3-D Man, Chuck Chandler possessed approximately three times the physical capabilities of a physically fit but otherwise normal human male

3d Fighter Training Squadron
–
The 3rd Fighter Training Squadron is part of the 71st Operations Group under the 71st Flying Training Wing. It operates the T-1A Jayhawk aircraft conducting advanced phase tanker/transport flight training and it was not re-activated until 1973. To qualify warriors with the skills and attitude necessary to become the worlds best combat airlift, the 3d Fighter Training Squadron dates to the organization of the 3d Aero Squadron on 1 November 1916 at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. Most of the officers and men of the Squadron were transferred from the Aviation School at Rockwell Field, San Diego, California, where, at the time, all Army aviators were trained. There, it replaced the 1st Aero Squadron, whose members were sent to Columbus Airfield, there, the squadron may have operated some Curtiss JN-3s and possibly some Curtiss N-8s, preparing them to be sent south to Columbus. By March 1917, men from the 3d Aero Squadron were hard at work clearing the cotton plants from the land and laying foundations for hangars and mess halls at what would become Kelly Field. On 5 April 1917, one day before the United States entered World War I, on 29 August 1917 the 3d Aero Squadron left Kelly Field for Fort Sill, Oklahoma with 12 Curtiss R4 airplanes under the command of a Captain Weir to establish a new training airfield. The squadron was assigned to Henry Post Field and it was re-designated as Squadron A, Henry Post Field, Oklahoma. At Post Field, the 3d was most likely a training unit in support of the United States Army Field Artillery School. In September 1917, the 4th Aero Squadron was transferred to Post Field from Fort Sam Houston, the 3d was ordered to transfer 135 men to the 4th to bring the squadron up to its authorized strength. The 3d was redesignated as Squadron A, with the 4th being redesignated as Squadron B in July 1918, both squadrons were demobilized at the end of World War I on 2 January 1919. The unit was re-formed as a new unit, designated as the 3d Aero Squadron, on 13 May 1919 at Mitchel Field, many of the men were experienced mechanics and officers who had served either in France or at training units in the United States during World War I. After being organized, the squadron was transferred by train to San Francisco, California, the squadron was assigned to the Philippine Department, and was stationed initially at Camp Stotsenburg on Luzon. Some Dayton-Wright DH-4s, which were used as trainers during the war in the United States, on 10 March 1920, along with the 2d Aero Squadron, which had arrived in December 1919, the squadrons were organized into the 1st Group. On 14 March 1921, the squadron was re-designated as the 3d Squadron, its mission was to provide aerial defense as part of the 4th Composite Group. In 1924, the squadron was consolidated with its World War I predecessor organization. Exercises and maneuvers with Army ground forces and Naval forces were a regular, the 3d had received P-26 Peashooters in 1937, the latest in the line of second-line aircraft. These obsolete aircraft were replaced in early 1941 with impressed export versions of the Seversky P-35 being designated EP-106 by the company that were manufactured for the Swedish Air Force

3D optical data storage
–
3D optical data storage is the term given to any form of optical data storage in which information can be recorded and/or read with three-dimensional resolution. This innovation has the potential to provide mass storage on DVD-sized discs. Data recording and readback are achieved by focusing lasers within the medium, however, because of the volumetric nature of the data structure, the laser light must travel through other data points before it reaches the point where reading or recording is desired. Therefore, some kind of nonlinearity is required to ensure that other data points do not interfere with the addressing of the desired point. Current optical data storage media, such as the CD and DVD store data as a series of marks on an internal surface of a disc. These interactions cause noise that limits the technology to approximately 10 layers, 3D optical data storage methods circumvent this issue by using addressing methods where only the specifically addressed voxel interacts substantially with the addressing light. This necessarily involves nonlinear data reading and writing methods, in nonlinear optics. 3D optical data storage is related to data storage. Layer-selection multilayer technology is closely related. As an example, a prototypical 3D optical data storage system may use a disc that looks much like a transparent DVD, the disc contains many layers of information, each at a different depth in the media and each consisting of a DVD-like spiral track. In order to information on the disc a laser is brought to a focus at a particular depth in the media that corresponds to a particular information layer. When the laser is turned on it causes a change in the media. As the disc spins and the head moves along a radius. The depth of the focus may then be changed and another entirely different layer of information written, the distance between layers may be 5 to 100 micrometers, allowing >100 layers of information to be stored on a single disc. In order to read the back, a similar procedure is used except this time instead of causing a photochemical change in the media the laser causes fluorescence. This is achieved e. g. by using a laser power or a different laser wavelength. The intensity or wavelength of the fluorescence is different depending on whether the media has been written at that point, the size of individual chromophore molecules or photoactive color centers is much smaller than the size of the laser focus. The light therefore addresses a number of molecules at any one time

3rd Tank Battalion
–
The 3rd Tank Battalion was an armor battalion of the United States Marine Corps. A gold banner appears above the shield inscribed THIRD TANK BATTALION and another below the shield inscribed SHOCK, MOBILITY, the M4A3 was the main battle tank of the battalion upon being organized during World War II and represents the origins of the battalion. Subsequent insignia and devices are variations of this insignia, typically changing the tank to a more modern version. The 3rd Tank Battalion was formed during World War II on 16 September 1942, each of the three regimental combat teams of the 3rd Marine Division had their own tank company and a scout car platoon. The 9th Marines tank company became Company A, 21st Marines company became Company B, when the battalion was formed it absorbed the three companies, a Headquarters and Service Company, Company D, and Company E. Company E was a combined arms reconnaissance unit that had three scout platoons and they were formed from a group of reassigned recon scouts from the Scout and Sniper companies within the 3rd Marine Division. They became the forerunner of the Marine Division Reconnaissance assets used by the Marine divisions today and its mechanized armor uses are also in effect today. During the 1980s, the Light Armored Reconnaissance battalions were formed, in January–February 1943, they deployed to Auckland, New Zealand. They participated in the Battle of Bougainville, Battle of Guam, arriving on the island on 20 February 1945, the battalion played an important role in the capture of Iwo Jima. Following the end of the war the battalion staged through Guam, on 7 January 1946, the battalion was deactivated at Camp Pendleton. With the outbreak of the Korean War the battalion was reactivated at Camp Pendleton on 5 March 1952, in August 1953, the battalion sailed for Yokohama, Japan for service with the 3rd Marine Division at Camp Fuji. In February 1956, the 3d Tank Battalion was relocated to Okinawa and the following year moved to Camp Hansen, Okinawa. On 3 March 1965 SSG John Downey, 3rd platoon, Company B, 3rd US Marine Corps 3rd Tank Battalion, drove his M48A3 Patton tank off the landing craft onto Red Beach 2 in I Corps, South Vietnam. SSG Downeys USMC Patton tank became the first US tank to enter the Vietnam War, the 3rd Tank Battalion conducted combat operations in South Vietnam from 1965 to 1969 and set up a command post at Da Nang. In 1965 the 3rd Tanks engaged the Viet Cong 1st Regiment southwest of Da Nang, pushing them into the sea, eventually two full battalions, consisting of the USMC 1st and 3rd Tank Battalions, would end up conducting combat operations in northern I Corps, South Vietnam. They participated in actions against communist forces during the Tet Offensive of 1968, and during the re-taking of the city of Huế. Until their re-deployment in 1969–70, the 3rd Tanks served as a defense at the DMZ along the 17th Parallel. Around the time of the Iran-U. S, hostage Crisis the US Department of Defense developed a concept for rapid deployment of forces which became the Rapid Deployment Joint Task Force

The 5th Wave is a young adult, science fiction novel. Written by American author Rick Yancey, the novel was published in 2013 and is the first installment in The 5th Wave trilogy, critics have compared the book favorably to The Hunger Games and The Road, and noted that it should do for aliens what Twilight did for vampires. Sony Pictures released an adaptation in January 2016. She is headed to a facility established by the aliens in the hopes of saving her five-year-old brother, Sam. Cassie comes across a gas station where she finds a wounded soldier and she kills him after mistaking the crucifix in his hand for a gun. While on an Ohio highway, on her way to find her brother, Cassie is then suddenly shot in the leg by an unknown sniper. She takes cover under a car and has to make a choice, try to flee the area and risk being shot by the sniper. The plot then jumps to Ben Parish, Cassies crush in high school, Ben is taken by soldiers to a woman named Dr. Pam and miraculously recovers from his disease. Dr. Pam tells him the Others raided his camp, Camp Haven at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, by inhabiting human hosts, Dr. Pam puts Ben through a program called Wonderland and takes him to a hospital room, where Chris sits wired to a chair.

6th Portuguese India Armada (Albergaria, 1504)
–
The Sixth India Armada was assembled in 1504 on the order of King Manuel I of Portugal and placed under the command of Lopo Soares de Albergaria. The 6th Armada was composed of 13 ships, approximately nine large nau or carracks, the exact composition of the fleet differs in the various accounts. The following list of ships should not be regarded as authoritative, no actual names of ships are known. Chronicles suggest most were carracks, accompanied by three or four ships, denoted as nta in the list). The captains of three of the navetas are identified in all the chronicles, although there is disagreement over the fourth. The above list of captains is principally based on João de Barross Décadas, Damião de Goiss Chronica, Castanhedas História, the Relação das Naus da Índia introduces some of the name variations. To get thirteen again, Correia asserts the captain-major Lopo Soares de Albergaria does not have his own ship, the admiral of the fleet was Lopo Soares de Albergaria. Albergaria was a noble, well-connected to the Almeida family. Lopo Soares de Albergaria sailed either on his own ship or on the ship captained by Pêro de Mendonça, Lopo de Abreu da Ilha may have been designated vice-admiral, although D. Leonel Coutinho may have been a higher noble. Manuel Telles de Vasconcelos was the nephew of influential Portuguese courtier, two of the captains are veterans of earlier expeditions, Pedro Afonso de Aguiar and Lopo Mendes de Vasconcellos had sailed in the 4th Armada of 1502. There was some participation in the fleet. At least one of the ships was outfitted by Catarina Dias de Aguiar, the carracks were designated to return to Lisbon with spice cargoes, the three or four small ships were slated to remain in India, to bolster the local Portuguese coastal patrol. The 2nd India Armada under Pedro Álvares Cabral had opened hostilities between the Kingdom of Portugal and the Zamorin of Calicut, the dominant maritime power on the Malabar Coast of India. The large and well-armed 4th Armada of 1502 led by Vasco da Gama had hoped, by means of strong show of force, but in spite of terror, bombardment and blockade, the Zamorin had refused to yield. The Zamorins defiance convinced Vasco da Gama that this was going to be a fight than he had anticipated, one that required more men. Gama delivered his report to Lisbon in 1503, too late to affect the outfitting of the 5th Armada, which had left under the command of Afonso de Albuquerque a few months earlier. As noted explicitly in his regimento, Lopo Soares de Albergaria was under orders to accept no peace with the Zamorin of Calicut.

The 7th Saga
–
The 7th Saga, titled Elnard in Japan, is a role-playing video game developed by Produce and published by Enix for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1993. The player chooses one of seven characters, all of whom separately embark on a quest to locate seven magical runes. As the player progresses through the game from one town to the next, the player may partner with one of the other playable characters to fight as a team, and they may also fight against other playable characters for the runes. Notable unique innovations include the use of a crystal ball radar that allows players to see enemies approaching their character in dungeons and this means that combat is not totally random, as players may theoretically avoid enemies. The game also uses Mode 7 graphic effects to create the transition between exploration screen and battle screen, there are three modes of play, safe area, enemy-infested area, and in-battle. When the characters are in an area, usually in a city. The player can talk to characters, buy and sell items, search for hidden items. Also, the character may duel other characters, or even convince one to assist in the search for the runes. When the player is in an area, the Magic Crystal item in the top-left appears. That crystal shows the player in the center, and the locations of nearby enemies, cities, dungeons. If a white dot reaches the center, i. e. the location of the main characters, the player must move around quickly while grabbing chests and finding the way, since the enemies are always getting closer. Battles in the game are turn-based, when the player character is in battle, the perspective shows the character and ally, if any, from behind looking at one to three enemies. Players then select an action and take turns with the enemy, the player can attack, defend, cast a spell, use an item, or run. If the player wins, his/her characters get experience points, gold, if he loses, half of his/her money will be gone. If the player loses to one of the main characters. Gaining experience results in attaining levels which improve a characters skill, buying better weapons and armor with the money improves a characters fighting ability. The game is known for its unforgiving difficulty due to balance changes made in its localization. Enemies were given much higher stats, and the player characters stat increases were reduced, the game takes place on a world called Ticondera

In the European Theater of Operations the 10th Armored Division was part of both the Twelfth United States Army Group and Sixth United States Army Group. Originally assigned to the Third United States Army under General George S. Patton, the 10th Armored Division was inactivated on 13 October 1945 at Camp Patrick Henry, Virginia. On 25 February 1953, the division was allotted to the Regular Army, the division was activated on 15 July 1942, at Fort Benning, Georgia. The Tiger nickname of the 10th originates from a division-wide contest held while it was training in the United States, symbolizing the division clawing and mauling its way through the enemy. Leaving Teurtheville,25 October, the Division moved to Mars-la-Tour, later that month, the 10th participated in the capture of Metz. It was the first time in 1500 years that the ancient fortress at Metz fell, after fierce fighting, the 10th moved to the Siegfried Line and led the Third Army into Germany on 19 November 1944. Combat Command-B’s lead Sherman tanks, tank destroyers and half-tracks entered Bastogne 18 December 1944 and these were the first combat troops to reach the threatened city. CCB’s commander, Col. William L. Roberts, split his command to form an arc facing eastward five miles from the city. A task force commanded by Maj. William R. Desobry went north to Noville, while a group under Lt. Col. Henry T. Lt. Col. James OHara’s group shifted southeast to Bras, at the same time, German forces moved westward with increasing momentum. Bastogne, a hub from which seven main roads diverged, was essential to the movement of Rundstedt’s panzers. Before dawn of 19 December five Nazi divisions attacked CCB, bazooka-armed American soldiers and a single platoon of tank destroyers fought a column of German Panzer IV tanks on the Houffalize-Noville highway, turning them back after a furious engagement.

10.5: Apocalypse
–
10.5, Apocalypse is a 2006 television miniseries written and directed by John Lafia. A sequel to 2004s 10.5, the film follows a series of catastrophic seismic disasters including earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, a minor earthquake in Seattle forms the trigger to a magnitude 10.5 earthquake which destroys Los Angeles, California. The earthquake creates fault lines in the sea floor, which in turn creates a tsunami which capsizes a large cruise ship and causes massive damage to Honolulu. It turns out to be only the first of a series of events, including the awakening of an extinct volcano in Sun Valley, Idaho. Deforestation takes place at Kings Peak, Utah and The Hoover Dam in Boulder City, Nevada collapses when Lake Mead starts to heat up and expand beyond the spillways capacity. Las Vegas, Nevada is then destroyed when acidic water undermines underground limestone, the worst of the seismic events is a massive fault which has opened up under South Dakota, destroying Mount Rushmore in the process, and begins to travel southward towards the Gulf of Mexico. The theory also states that related seismic activity would be accelerated during the initial period of reversal. However, Dr. Earl Hill had been ostracised by the USGS for that theory, when Las Vegas sinks into the ground, he is caught in the casino of the Atlas Hotel. Samantha concludes that the massive faultline travelling towards the Gulf of Mexico threatens to re-create the Central American Seaway when it reaches the ocean, the second part of the miniseries begins with Dr. Hills rescue from the ruins of the Atlas Hotel just before it is swallowed up completely. At the same time, a fault line forms in North Dakota, passing through South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas. If it reaches Houston, Texas and the Gulf of Mexico, as predicted, a massive evacuation of the region is ordered, as an earthquake strikes Sedona, Arizona destroying the Chapel of the Holy Cross in the process. However, a plant in fictional Red Plains, Texas, is right in the faults path. If it is destroyed, the area and hundreds of miles around will be contaminated by nuclear waste. The main fault follows the new path around Red Plains, saving the nuclear plant, the scientists at the USGS cheer, only to find that nothing can stop the fault altogether. Once again it turns south, slicing through the middle of Houston to reach the Gulf of Mexico, at the same time, the northern half of the fault has reached Hudson Bay.
