Samuel Cooper (June 12, 1798 – December 3, 1876) was a United States Army officer. He served in the Second Seminole War and the Mexican–American War. Cooper was technically the highest-ranking general in the Confederate States Army throughout the American Civil War. He even outranked Robert E. Lee. After the conflict, Cooper remained in Virginia as a farmer. Birth Samuel Cooper was born in New Hackensack, Dutchess County, New York. He was a son of Samuel Cooper and his wife Mary Horton. Entry to the military In 1813 he entered the United States Military Academy at age 15 and graduated two years later. He was appointed a brevet lieutenant in the U.S. Light Artillery on December 11, 1815. He was promoted to first lieutenant in 1821 and to captain in 1836. Early military services In 1827, Cooper married Sarah Maria Mason who was the sister of James M. Mason. Cooper served as aide-de-camp for Gen. Macomb from 1828 to 1836. Under his supervision authored A Concise System of Instructions and Regulations for the Militia and Volunteers of the United States. Cooper served in many artillery units until 1837. That is when he was appointed chief clerk of the U.S. War Department. In 1838 he received a promotion to Brevet major and was appointed assistant adjutant general of the Army. Nine years later, with a brevet as lieutenant colonel, he served in the same capacity. Second Seminole War Cooper's service in the Second Seminole War of 1841–42 was a rare departure for him from Washington, D.C. He was chief of staff for Col. William J. Worth, and after bad relations ended he returned to staff duty in Washington from 1842 to 1845. Cooper received a brevet promotion to colonel on May 30, 1848, for his War Department service in the Mexican–American War, and was promoted to the permanent rank of colonel in the regular army and appointed the army's Adjutant General on July 15, 1852. Slave ownership Cooper was also a slave owner. At the time of the 1850 census, he owned six slaves. Family On February 5, 1857, his daughter Sarah Maria Mason Cooper (August 4, 1836 – December 15, 1858) married Frank Wheaton, who would become a Union general during the coming war. They had one child, Sarah Maria Cooper Wheaton, in 1858. American Civil War At the beginning of the American Civil War, he was loyal to the South. His wife's family was from Virginia. He also had a close friendship with Jefferson Davis, who had also been U.S. Secretary of War. One of his last official acts as Adjutant General of the U.S. Army was to sign an order dismissing Brig. Gen. David E. Twiggs from the army. Twiggs had surrendered his command and supplies in Texas to the Confederacy on March 1, 1861 and Cooper resigned six days later. He traveled to Montgomery, Alabama to join the Confederate States Army. Reach to Montgomery When he reached Montgomery, Cooper was immediately given a commission as a brigadier general on March 16, 1861. He served as both Adjutant General and Inspector General of the Confederate Army, a post he held until the end of the war. Cooper provided organization and knowledge to the fledgling Confederate War Department from on his years performing such duties as Adjutant General of the U.S. Army. Promotion On May 16, 1861, Cooper was promoted to full general in the Confederate Army. He was one of five men promoted to the grade at that time, and one of only seven during the war. It was the earliest date of rank. End of war At the war's end in 1865, Cooper surrendered and was paroled on May 3 at Charlotte, North Carolina. Dishonor While building defenses near Washington, D.C., Union forces demolished his home and used its bricks to build a fort dubbed "Traitor's Hill" in dishonor of Cooper. Later Years Cooper's last official act in office was to preserve the official records of the Confederate Army and turn them over intact to the United States government. They form a part of the Official Records, The War of the Rebellion: a Compilation of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies. The publishing started in 1880. Military historians have highly regarded Cooper for this action. Historian Ezra J. Warner believed that in doing so Cooper was "thereby making a priceless contribution to the history of the period." After war After the war, Cooper was a farmer at his home, Cameron, near Alexandria, Virginia. His house had been taken over by the U.S. government during the war and turned into a fort. But he was able to move into what had been an overseer's house. Due to his age Cooper earned a meager living. On August 4, 1870, Robert E. Lee, on the behalf of other former Confederates, sent Cooper $300. Lee wrote to him saying, "To this sum I have only been able to add $100, but I hope it may enable you to supply some immediate want and prevent you from taxing your strength too much." Samuel Cooper died at his home in 1876, and was buried in the Christ Church Episcopal Cemetery. Selected works Prepared and Arranged by Brevet Captain S.

The Tagish Lake meteorite fell at 16:43 UTC on 18 January 2000 in the Tagish Lake area in northwestern British Columbia, Canada. The rock was about 4 metres in diameter and 56 tonnes in weight before it entered the Earth's atmosphere. About 97% of the meteorite had vaporised in the atmosphere. Of the 1.3 tonnes of fragmented rock, over 10 kilograms (22 lb) (about 1%) was found and collected. Analyses have shown that Tagish Lake fragments contain unchanged stellar dust granules which may have been part of the cloud of material that made the Solar System and Sun.

L'Indipendente is a monthly cultural magazine that originated in Italy, directed by Milo Goj. History and profile In 1949 the first issue of "L'incontro" comes out, an independent monthly against religious intolerance and racism. The newspaper assumes what will always be its format (on 9 columns) and typographic layout (the head in red) with the January issue 1951. He will develop above all the themes of peace, civil rights and secularism, starting with the defense of Pietro Pinna, then fighting for the recognition of the civil service, for divorce and for the secularity of the school, fighting against the privileges of the Church and of the Concordat. The monthly, also directed by Segre, will close after 70 years: the last issue bears the date of December 2018 and comes out at the beginning of February 2019. In his farewell to readers, Segre reminds us that the newspaper, open to the collaboration of "all free men, all citizens of the world ", had come out with the aim of" unmasking the causes of war and fighting economic, social and ideological barriers ". In the farewell editorial, also due to his age of centenary which forces him to stop "at the last stage", Segre recalls that the newspaper "has never asked for or received financial contributions, jealous of its absolute independence". And he also hopes that someone will be able to continue "our journalistic activity, buying the newspaper L'Incontro and respecting its traditional function inspired by a libertarian socialism, faithful to the ideals of Justice and Freedom tested in the Resistance". The appeal launched by Bruno Segre was accepted by a group of professionals and entrepreneurs from Turin, who founded the L’Incontro srl Publishing Company, which continues to publish the magazine online.

Arabisation (or Arabization) is a process where the influence of Arabic populations grows in an area. This will mean that the Arab ways of doing things will replace other ways over time. It will also mean that the Arabic lanuage will become more important. Usually, this will also mean that Islam will spread in the area. Non-Arabic populations will be assimilated over time (or leave the area altogether). Examples where Arabization happened are the south of the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal, called Mozarabs), in the Middle Ages (undone by the Reconquista). In the Mahgreb, Arabization drove away many Berber people. Arabization also happened in the Near and Middle East. In Sudan and other parts of East Africa, Arabization also took place. In those areas, it was driven by trade. When Turkish troops and their allies conquered the city of Afrin in Syria, in 2018, they settled Arab people there. According to Kurdish sources, in June of 2018, almost 60 percent of the population of Afrin were Arabs. Before the Turkish troops took the city, the German newspaper, 'Die Welt' reported that ninety percent of the popuation of Afrin had been Kurds. References Cultural assimilation

It was the final single overall released by the band. The single was only released in France and Germany. Related interview Mark Knopfler told in interview for "Musician": "I just liked the line. About the time we recorded the first record I had a song called "Me and My Friends." It was a Southern boogie thing about playing in the band. I never recorded it because it never really...
