875868 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kohima%20Stone%20Inscription | Kohima Stone Inscription | The Kohima Stone Inscription or Gambhir Singh's Stone is a stone with writing carved into it. It was erected by King Raja Gambhir Singh (Chinglen Nongdrenkhomba) of Manipur kingdom in Kohima (), the capital of Nagaland. It was erected in 1833 AD as a mark of Manipuri conquest and supremacy over the Naga Hills in 1832 AD. It was inscribed in sanskritised Manipuri language (Meitei language) in Bengali script. Manipuri King Raja Gambhir Singh (Chinglen Nongdrenkhomba) conquered the whole Naga Hills with his military power of Manipur Levy. It was after he had finally defeated the Angami Naga tribes of Kohima that the historic testimonial stone inscription was erected.
Manipuri influence over the Naga tribes declined during a period before and after the Burmese war of 1819-25. However, it was re-asserted during the time of Raja Gambhir Singh (Chinglen Nongdrenkhomba). He reduced many tribesmen villages, including Kohima, at which he stood upon the stone and had his footprints sculpted on it as a token of conquest. Kohima and its surrounding villages were the boundaries of Manipur. The Nagas greatly respected this stone and cleaned it from time to time.
The stone is so much important that it is frequently mentioned in many land laws and orders announced by the British Government of Naga Hills. One famous example is the Order of W.J. Williamson, a British Political Agent of Naga Hills on the 19th April, 1880.
The stone inscription is notably mentioned in the "My Experiences in Manipur and the Naga hills" (1896) by Colonel Sir James Johnstone, the then Political Agent of Manipur, and the The Meitheis (1908) written by Thomas Callan Hodson, the then Political Agent of Manipur.

Point Judith is set in Washington County, Rhode Island. It is also on the coast of Rhode Island at Narragansett.
Tropical storms/hurricanes
On September 21, 1938 a severe and very powerful major hurricane (probably Category Three or Four) affected Point Judith. Just under six years later, another powerful hurricane affected the area. The 1944 hurricane was almost Category Three when it struck New England. Hurricane Carol in late August 1954 struck across the Connecticut–Rhode Island state line as a mild Category Three hurricane. The storm caused next to $200 million in damage as it hit.
On August 19, 1991 Hurricane Bob came onto Rhode Island next to Newport and Jamestown.
In the 21st century, several very serious tropical storms headed through Rhode Island or very close to. On September 6–8, 2008 Tropical Storm Hanna moved just north of Point Judith. Thirteen years later, Tropical Storms Elsa and Henri ran across Rhode Island. These two were almost hurricanes in July (Elsa) and August (Henri) of the 2021 Atlantic hurricane season.

875906 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phasmahyla%20cochranae | Phasmahyla cochranae | The chocolatefoot leaf frog (Phasmahyla cochranae) is a frog that lives in Brazil.
The adult male frog is 2.8 to 3.7 cm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is 4.6 to 4.6 cm long. The pupils of its eyes go up and down and open side to side. It does not have webbing on its front feet. This frog can change color during the day: it can be green or brick brown. It has orange, purple, or brown spots on its sides.
This frog lives by the plants near the edges of streams in forests. They do not live in large groups. Scientists usually find no more than three frogs singing together. The female frog lays eggs in folded leaves hanging above the stream. The eggs are cream-white. She lays about 32 at a time. When the eggs hatch, the tadpoles fall into the stream. They stay tadpoles for about five months. They look for food at the surface of the water.
Many of the places where this frog lives are protected parks, for example Parque Estadual Nova Baden and Parque Municipal do Itapetinga. However, it stil suffers from habitat loss and changes that human beings make to the places it lives. Because of damage to the ozone layer, there is more ultraviolet radiation than is good for this frog. Also, this frog suffers from habitat fragmentation: that means that even though many places the frog lives are protected, the frogs cannot move from one to another easily.

Career
South West Africa
Uunona joined politics as an anti-Apartheid activist and as a member of the South West Africa People’s Organisation. He was also a member of the militant organisation People's Liberation Army. At the time which South Africa instituted racial segregation system called Apartheid.
Post-independence Namibia
He has been elected as a councillor several times since 2004 at the constituency of Ompundja in the Oshana regional council elections in year 2010 and 2015. In November 2020, he won the local election in northern Namibia with 1,196 votes, which represented 85% of the vote. His opponent, Mumbala Abner of the IPC party, lost, gaining only 213 votes. Uunona continued to be the councillor of Ompundja constituency of Namibia.
Name
Germanic names like "Adolf" are common in Namibia. This is because Namibia was once a German colony called German South West Africa between the years 1884 and 1915 under the German Empire and was later a mandate of Union of South Africa. Afrikaans and German are two of Namibia's official languages.
International news sources wrote that Uunona has the same name as Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler. Adolf Uunona says his father probably did name him after Adolf Hitler but does not think his father knew who Adolf Hitler was at the time. "It wasn't until I was growing up that I realised: This man wanted to subjugate (or put under his control) the whole world," he said. Uunona usually goes by the first name "Adolf" alone or "Adolf Uunona" while in public. He says he has no plans to change his name.

Its official name is the SWAPO Party of Namibia. It has been the most powerful party in the country since the country became independent from South Africa in 1990. It was a former independence movement in South West Africa and is the main belligerents in the South African Border War.
History
Foundation
SWAPO was founded on 19 April 1960. The leaders named the party to show that it represented all Namibians but the organisation is popular among Ovambo people of northern Namibia, who made up nearly half the total population of South West Africa.
South West Africa
During 1962, SWAPO had became the dominant independence, anti-colonial organisation for the people in Namibia. SWAPO used guerrilla tactics to fight the colonial South African Defence Force. A major conflict broke out on 26 of August 1966, when a unit of the South African Police exchanged fire with SWAPO forces. This became the start of what became known in South Africa as the Border War.
The neighbouring country of Angola gained its independence on 11 November 1975 during the Portuguese Colonial war. The leftist Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA) came to power as the dominant party of Angola. In March 1976, the MPLA offered SWAPO bases in Angola for launching attacks against the South African military.
Modern Namibia
Namibia gained its independence in 1990. SWAPO have since become the dominant political party of Namibia.

The add-on includes 4 scenarios for each of the campaigns for the Germans, the American, the British and the Soviets. Other units which are added into the add-on includes, but not limited to the Universal Carrier for the British. The supply system has also been tweaked with artillery crews automatically resupplying themselves with ammo crates nearby instead of relying on supply trucks to do the job. The supply trucks would still be needed to repair damages inflicted on these artillery units, however.
