Diyala campaign | 5th Squadron, 73rd Cavalry Regiment under fire | 5th Squadron, 73rd Cavalry Regiment under fire
One of the American units that took on the most casualties during the campaign was the 5th Squadron, 73rd Cavalry Regiment of the 82nd Airborne Division. The squadron came to Iraq at the beginning of September 2006 with 330 men, but half-way through their deployment almost 100 men from the original roster had been killed or wounded, all in the province of Diyala. By April 23, the squadron lost 20 soldiers to hostile action in the province and more than 80 had been wounded. They took part in the bloody Battle of Turki before the campaign and had been constantly under hit-and-run attacks later on. TF 300 conducted combat operations clearing the Diyala River Valley of ISI forces. With that the squadron became the only squadron of the U.S. Army to lose almost a third of its force in the Iraq war. |

In mid-June the U.S. mounted an offensive against Baghdad's northern and southern flanks. In the north an operation dubbed "Arrowhead Ripper" was started with air assaults under the cover of darkness in Baqubah. Heavy street fighting lasted throughout the first day of the operation, mainly in the center of the city and around the main city market. On the first day of the operation 22 insurgents and one U.S. soldier were killed. The next week saw U.S. forces trying to take Baqubah back from the insurgents. The attack on the city came from the west but was complicated by a maze of booby-trapped houses. It took the Americans a week before they secured 80 percent of the western section of the city. The insurgents already had intelligence that the U.S. army was going to attack the city and evacuated up to 80 percent of its principal leadership long before the operation.
After a month of street battles the fighting ceased in large parts of the city but the town of Al Khalis, approx. 15 km to the north, seemed to have become a major restaging point for insurgents retreating form Baqubah, despite the nearby presence of significant US forces at FOB Grizzly and People's Mujahedin of Iran personnel at "Ashraf City". By July 9, the focus of operations seemed to have shifted to the Baghdad-Baqubah road SW of the town.
On August 19, operation Arrowhead Ripper ended and Baqubah was largely secured by Coalition forces but still some insurgent presence remained in the city and surrounding areas but not in such large numbers as it was before the attack on the city. |
Diyala campaign | Al-Qaeda strikes back | Al-Qaeda strikes back
On September 24, a suicide bomber attacked a meeting of Iraqi high-level officials of Diyala province in Baquba. The attacker detonated a suicide belt inside the Shifta Shiite mosque in western Baquba during the daily breaking of the Ramadan fast. In all 28 people were killed and 50 were wounded. Among the dead were Baquba police Chief Ali al-Deylan and Brig. Gen. Abdul Karim al-Obaidi, commander of Diyala's police operations. Another slain official was Ahmed al-Tamimi, the head of the local Shiite Endowment, which administers Shiite religious facilities in the province. Two guards of the Diyala's Shiite governor, Raad Rashid Mullah Jawad, were killed. The governor himself was wounded and one of the dead guards was his brother. The dead also included Sheik Ahmed al-Tamer and Sheik Kanaan al-Faraj, both leaders of two former insurgent groups who became U.S.-allied Iraqi militias. |
Diyala campaign | Mass graves | Mass graves
After Coalition troops entered previously insurgent-held territories of the province they started to find in November large numbers of mass graves, mostly around Baqubah, which contained anywhere from 10 to 20 bodies. It was believed that the victims were civilians picked up by ISI elements at check-points while ISI was in control of the area. The bodies of more than 100 people were found in just one week. By late April 2008, more than 500 bodies were recovered. |

In January 2008 the Multinational Force Iraq and New Iraqi Army launched a new offensive (codenamed Operation Phantom Phoenix) in the region to eradicate the remaining insurgents in Diyala and the neighboring Salah ad Din Governorate. |

Tsovinar (goddess) | Short description | Tzovinar (Ծովինար) or Nar (Նար) was the Armenian goddess of water, sea, and rain.Shalian, Artin K. David of Sassoun : the Armenian folk epic in four cycles. Athens: Ohio University Press, 1964. p. xxvi. She was a fierce goddess, who forced the rain to fall from the heavens with her fury.
Her name, Tzovinar, means "daughter of the seas" and she is identified as the mother of Sanasar and Baghdasar in Armenian epic tradition. |
Tsovinar (goddess) | Name and etymology | Name and etymology
Her name can be decomposed into two parts: Armenian/Old Armenian tzov 'sea, large body of water', and nar or Nar.YEGANYAN, Larisa. "Du foyer domestique à la naissance du monde: Un pot à sel du XIIIe siècle découvert près d'Ani". In: Revue des Études Arméniennes 32 (2010): 222-223. DOI: 10.2143/REA.32.0.2050521 The word cov is considered by some scholars to be a loanword from Urartian ṣûǝ, meaning '(inland) sea'.. Accessed 19 Feb. 2023. Accessed 19 Feb. 2023.Russell, James R. Armenian and Iranian Studies. Belmont, MA: Armenian Heritage Press, 2004. p. 1122. The second part is speculated to be related to Nara, a Hittite or Hurrian deity.YEGANYAN, Larisa. "Du foyer domestique à la naissance du monde: Un pot à sel du XIIIe siècle découvert près d'Ani". In: Revue des Études Arméniennes 32 (2010): 223. DOI: 10.2143/REA.32.0.2050521
Scholar James R. Russell translates her name as 'Lady of the Lake',RUSSELL, J.R. "Scythians and Avesta in an Armenian Vernacular Paternoster and a Zok Paternoster". In: Le Muséon Vol. 110, 1-2 (1997): 102. DOI: 10.2143/MUS.110.1.525802 from cov ('sea') and Iranian nār ('woman').Russell, James R. Armenian and Iranian Studies. Belmont, MA: Armenian Heritage Press, 2004. pp. 768 (footnote nr. 36), 1122. Larisa Yeganyan translates the name as 'Marine' or 'Nymph of the Sea'.YEGANYAN, Larisa. "Du foyer domestique à la naissance du monde: Un pot à sel du XIIIe siècle découvert près d'Ani". In: Revue des Études Arméniennes 32 (2010): 223. DOI: 10.2143/REA.32.0.2050521 Tsovinar Harutyunyan interprets her name as "the sea", "the spirit of the sea" and "the light of the sea".Harutyunyan, Tsovinar. "The Image of the Cosmogonic Sacrifice in the Armenian Heroic Epic 'Sasna Tsrer'" In: Folk Belief Today. Edited by Mare Kõiva and Kai Vassiljeva. Tartu: Estonian Academy of Sciences; Institute of Estonian Language; Estonian Museum of Literature, 1995. p. 119. .
According to Armen Petrosyan, Covinar, a character in Armenian epic, is also called Covean or Coveal ('Marine'), both deriving from cov 'sea'.Petrosyan, Armen. "Collegiality and Interchange in Armenian Studies". In: Journal of the Society for Armenian Studies 2011, Volume 20: 151.Петросян, Армен Егишевич. "СОССЮРОВСКИЕ АНАГРАММЫ "ПЕСНИ ВАХАГНА"". In: Индоевропейское языкознание и классическая филология, no. 24-1, 2020, p. 184. URL: https://cyberleninka.ru/article/n/sossyurovskie-anagrammy-pesni-vahagna (дата обращения: 17.02.2023). However, Hrach Martirosyan interprets *Covean as 'lightning/thunder goddess of the celestial Purple Sea'.Martirosyan, Hrach (2019). "Traces of Indo-European 'Father Sky, God' in Armenian". In: U. Bläsing, J. Dum-Tragut, T.M. van Lint, (editors). Armenian, Hittite, and Indo-European Studies: A Commemoration Volume for Jos J.S. Weitenberg. Hebrew University Armenian Studies 15. Leuven: Peeters. p. 202.
According to Artin K. Shalian, Dzovinar either means 'a cloudless lightning shaft' or 'sea-born'.Shalian, Artin K. David of Sassoun : the Armenian folk epic in four cycles. Athens: Ohio University Press, 1964. p. 5 (footnote nr. 3). |

Yeganyan associates Tzovinar with the celestial waters or a primordial ocean, where the rain waters gather.YEGANYAN, Larisa. "Du foyer domestique à la naissance du monde: Un pot à sel du XIIIe siècle découvert près d'Ani". In: Revue des Études Arméniennes 32 (2010): 222-223. DOI: 10.2143/REA.32.0.2050521
On the other hand, Armenian folklorist Manuk Abeghian interpreted her as "an angry storm goddess".Journal of the Society for Armenian Studies 1-2 (1984): 108. According to Abeghian's studies, in the role of a storm goddess, she is described as having "fiery eyes". She also dances in the clouds riding on her horse, creating thunderstorms.Petrosyan, Armen. "Armeno-Indian Epic Parallels". In: Journal of Indo-European Studies (JIES). Volume 45, Number 1 & 2, Spring/Summer 2017. p. 172. |
Tsovinar (goddess) | In epic | In epic
In the Armenian epic Sasna Cŕer (or Daredevils of Sassoun), a female character named Dzovinar or Covinar (dialectal 'lightning', according to Armen Petrosyan) functions as ancestress of a line of heroes that appear in later portions of the epic:Harutyunyan, Tsovinar. "The Image of the Cosmogonic Sacrifice in the Armenian Heroic Epic 'Sasna Tsrer'" In: Folk Belief Today. Edited by Mare Kõiva and Kai Vassiljeva. Tartu: Estonian Academy of Sciences; Institute of Estonian Language; Estonian Museum of Literature, 1995. p. 119. . by drinking of the spring or Kat'nov haxpür ('Milky Fountain'), she becomes pregnant with heroes Sanasar and Baghdasar.Harutyunyan, Tsovinar.

"Armenian Epic Tradition and Kurdish Folklore". In: Iran & the Caucasus 1 (1997): 87. http://www.jstor.org/stable/4030741. In another account, Covinar drinks a "milky liquid" that sprouts from a rock in the middle of Lake Van.RUSSEL, J.R. "Scythians and Avesta in an Armenian Vernacular Paternoster and a Zok Paternoster". In: Le Muséon Vol. 110, 1-2 (1997): 102. DOI: 10.2143/MUS.110.1.525802 |
Tsovinar (goddess) | Parallels | Parallels
Russell sees a parallel between Covinar's impregnation episode with a similar event involving Ossetian character Satanaya, in the Nart sagas.RUSSELL, JAMES R. "Magic Mountains, Milky Seas, Dragon Slayers, and Other Zoroastrian Archetypes". In: Bulletin of the Asia Institute 22 (2008): 59. http://www.jstor.org/stable/24049235. It is also been suggested that both characters are remnants of Scythian goddess Api,Hovannisian, Richard G. Armenian Van/Vaspurakan.

Querube Makalintal | Short description | Querube Cortinas Makalintal (December 22, 1910 – November 8, 2002) was the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the Philippines from 1973 to 1975 and Speaker of the Interim Batasang Pambansa from 1978 to 1984. |
Querube Makalintal | Early life | Early life
Makalintal was born on December 22, 1910, in San Jose, Batangas. He was born to Ambrosio Makalintal and Rufina Cortinas. He finished his Associate in Arts and Bachelor of Law at the University of the Philippines, where he was a member of the Upsilon Sigma Phi fraternity. He placed 7th in the 1933 Bar Examinations and 3rd in the 1934 Law Clerk Examinations by Civil Service. |
Querube Makalintal | Career | Career
Makalintal was appointed Solicitor General in 1952. He then served as Associate Justice and Presiding Justice of the Court of Appeals.
On May 23, 1962, he was appointed Associate Justice of the Supreme Court by President Diosdado Macapagal. On October 24, 1973, he was appointed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court under President Ferdinand Marcos.
After reaching the compulsory retirement age of 65 under the 1973 Constitution, he served as Speaker of the Interim Batasang Pambansa from 1978 to 1984. |
Querube Makalintal | Martial law years | Martial law years
Makalintal, together with Justice Fred Ruiz Castro, was the "swing vote" in the Ratification Cases which upheld the 1973 Constitution, which paved the way of extending Marcos' regime. When the question of whether the petitioners are entitled to relief, the two justices answered "No", thus upholding the 1973 Constitution and made legitimate the rule of Marcos and his power.
In the cases denying Benigno Aquino Jr. of his privilege of the writ of habeas corpus, the decision of the High Court was not a traditional sense of consensus on both the conclusions and the reasons for the conclusions. Makalintal, as Chief Justice, delivered the summary of votes, and explained the reason why there was no collegial opinion by the Court. He said, among others, that the justices of the Supreme Court are conscious of "the future verdict of history" upon their stand.
Benigno Aquino Jr. warned of such verdict of history, as he aptly said, "Today, you are my judges. Tomorrow, history will judge you." |
Querube Makalintal | Death | Death
Makalintal died on November 8, 2002, in Manila, Philippines. He was 91.
He is survived by his children Eduardo, Maria Socorro, and Ambrosio. |

Richard Janes | Infobox person
| Richard Janes (born in Guildford, Surrey) is an Emmy winning Producer and the founder of the Hollywood digital agency Fanology. He started his career advising clients including Larry King, Ashley Tisdale, Jillian Michaels, Steve Blake, Waka Flocka Flame, Laird Hamilton, and Shay Mitchell on how to build their digital brands and grow their fanbase.
Today, Richard spends most of his time on the public speaking circuit telling his story and spreading the message that personal branding isn't just for celebrities but its power can be harnessed by everyone looking to make an impact on the world. His podcast is called The Passion And Purpose Podcast. |
Richard Janes | Early life | Early life
From the age of 11, Janes was brought up spending his summers at The Cannizaro Park Open Air Theatre in Wimbledon, London, where his parents ran the bar as an offshoot from their Wimbledon-based café and catering business. Janes started as a child actor, working on a wide range of television programs such as The Demon Headmaster, Kavanagh QC with John Thaw and Longitude, where he played opposite Jeremy Irons.
Deciding he also wanted to work behind the camera, Janes went back to school studying an intensive two-year degree at Ravensbourne College of Design and Communication, the centre for excellence in professional broadcasting in the UK. Whilst studying and gaining experience in all areas of production, he worked under some of film's top directors, from Terry Gilliam and Tarsem to Sharon Maguire.
As part of his graduation, Janes produced and directed his first film-based short film titled Representative Radio. Based on a radio DJ who receives a phone call from a distressed man on the edge of suicide, the film dealt with cause and effect of media spin. Representative Radio went on to receive a nomination for best student film in the non-factual category of the 2002 Royal Television Society Awards.
After leaving Ravensbourne, Janes was then approached to direct a three-week London run of R. C. Sherriff's classic Journey's End. The play ran at the Courtyard Theatre, with some of the best attendance figures the venue had ever seen. Fakers, a sharp, fast-moving tale of blackmail and forgery set in the upper echelons of the international art society, marks Janes' feature-length directorial debut.
In 2007, he won a Los Angeles-area Emmy for his work as director and co-producer on the documentary series Behind the Lyrics.
In 2008, Janes launched Film industry bloggers an online blogging community of film industry professionals from around the world. The community closed in 2010.
In 2010, Janes launched Fanology, a Hollywood digital agency working with celebrities to build the digital footprint. In 2012 the agency started working with major brands such as Toyota, LifeTime Fitness, Microsoft, P&G, and Tourism Ireland. |

Born in Kudat, Chong was a graduate of New Zealand's Victoria University of Wellington, earning a Master of Laws (LL.B.) (First Class) in 1975 and subsequently practising law at the legal firm of Shelley Yap, Leong, Tseu, Chong, Chia & Co. (now known as Shelley Yap) in Kota Kinabalu.
He contested and won the Kudat seat on a BERJAYA ticket in the March 1981 state election and was appointed Assistant Minister to the Chief Minister of Sabah the following year. He held the post until April 1985 when he lost the seat to Wong Phin Chung of United Sabah Party (PBS).
In March 1987, he became a member of the Berjaya Supreme Council but later left the party when it became clear that it was losing ground.
Chong and several Chinese leaders founded the LDP in 1989 and was made its pro-tem secretary general. Then in 1991, he became the party's president. He did not contest the 1994 state election but a year later was appointed Senator in the Dewan Negara and subsequently included in the Cabinet of Malaysia as one of the Ministers in the Prime Minister's Department representing East Malaysia, Sabah state as well as the dominant minority Chinese community, in which he served in this portfolio until 1996. He then quit federal politics in March 1999 to contest the state polls. This time, he won back his traditional stronghold of Kudat, and was appointed state minister of Tourism Development, Environment, Science and Technology."A survivor of Sabah politics" , Daily Express, 14 April 2007.
Chong became the 13th Chief Minister of Sabah in 2001 representing the Chinese community in a rotation system mooted by former Prime Minister Dr. Mahathir Mohamad in 1994.
When Musa Aman took over the helm of the state government in 2003, Chong was appointed Deputy Chief Minister as well as the person in charge of the tourism, culture, and environment portfolio. It was then the rotation system was scrapped and from then onwards, the Chief Minister post was held by the United Malays National Organisation until the 2018 Sabah state election.
In April 2007, Chong resigned from the Deputy Chief Minister post under Musa Aman's cabinet, citing matters of principle."Chong quits Cabinet" , Daily Express, 14 April 2007."從政卅餘年對國家社會貢獻良多" , Overseas Chinese Daily News, 17 April 2007. |

A native of Missouri, he worked as a sheriff in that state before moving to the Oregon Country where he was selected as judge in the Provisional Government of Oregon and served in the Oregon Territorial Legislature. Ford also lost a civil case that freed his slaves who he had brought across the Oregon Trail from Missouri. |

Nathaniel Ford | Oregon | Oregon
Colonel Ford arrived in Oregon in 1844 from Missouri on the Oregon Trail. In his wagon train he was called Colonel Ford as he was the second in command of the large group of pioneers. Part of this same party included fellow future Willamette Valley politician John Minto, however Ford was in charge of a different company. On this journey across the west Ford brought with him three slaves to help him build the family farm.Slavery in the Oregon Country. End of the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center.

In 1844, before leaving Missouri, Ford promised his slaves Polly and Robin Holmes that he would free them after reaching Oregon and establishing a farm. However, Ford did not keep this promise and only years later did he agree to free any of the family. Finally, in 1852, Robin Holmes sued Ford in court, Holmes v. Ford, to free his family, as slavery was illegal in the territory. Eleven months later the new chief justice of the supreme court arrived and the case was heard July 13, 1854. Judge Williams freed the family, but never mentioned slavery in his decision. |
