Vlad The Impaler

The Night Attack (1462) The Night Attack was a battle fought between the forces of Wallachian Prince Vlad III, known as Vlad the Impaler, and the forces of Mehmed II, sultan of the Ottoman Empire. After Vlad raided Bulgaria and killed more than 20,000 Turks and Bulgarians, Mehmed marched on Wallachia, and the two powers fought a series of skirmishes.

The conflict had started with Vlad's refusal to pay Tax on non-Muslims (Jizya) to Sultan, the Night Attack happened when Vlad attacked the camp of Turks to kill Mehmed, he did not succeed but Mehmed marched to the Wallachian capital of Târgovişte, where he discovered another 20,000 impaled Turks and Bulgarians. Horrified, the Sultan and his troops retreated.

After Constantinople was fallen to Ottoman Empire in 1453, Mehmed decided to counter the Greek Trebizond in Anatolia, to the East the White Sheep Turkomans of Uzun Hasan, Skanderbeg in Albania, while Bosnia was also reluctant to pay Jizya sometimes. Wallachia controlled her side of the river to Danube, Mehmed wanted to have control over the river, as naval attacks could be launched against his empire all the way from the Holy Roman Empire. On September 26, 1459, Pope Pius II called for a new crusade against the Ottomans and on January 14, 1460, at the Congress of Mantua, the Pope proclaimed the official crusade that was to last for three years.

However, his plan failed and only European leader who showed enthusiaism was Vlad Tepes. Vlad Ţepeş's only ally, Mihály Szilágyi, was captured in 1460 by the Turks while traversing Bulgaria. When Vlad was pressed to pay Jizya, he killed the Turk envoys, Vlad Ţepeş refused the demand, and the Turks crossed the Danube and started to do their own recruiting, to which Vlad reacted by capturing the Turks and impaling them. He also tried to deceive Mehmed at the end of November 1461, as he Vlad Ţepeş could not pay jizya as he had run out of resources and that he could not leave Wallachia and risk having the Hungarian king take over his domains. He promised to pay gold and go to Constantinople if the Sultan sent a Pasha to rule over Wallachia in his absence. However that was a trick and when Hamza Pasha was sent to stage a diplomatic meeting with Vlad in Giurgiu, Romania, Vlad attacked the Turks and killed all the men with Hamza Pasha, the Wallachians had the Turks surrounded and fired with their handgunners with Vlad being one of the first European crusaders to have used gunpowder in a deadly artistic way. In his next move, he went on a campaign and slaughtered enemy soldiers and population that might have sympathized with the Turks; first in southern Wallachia, then, in Bulgaria by crossing the frozen Danube. Bulgarian Christians were however spared. Vlad Ţepeş's campaign was celebrated among the Saxon cities of Transylvania, the Italian states and the Pope. A Venetian envoy, upon hearing about the news at the court of Corvinus on March 4, expressed great joy and said that the whole of Christianity should celebrate Vlad Ţepeş's successful campaign.

Mehmed when hearing about the events, abandoned his siege at Corinth and decided to go against Vlad Ţepeş himself. He gathered men equal to the number which took Constantinople, Mehmed set out to conquer Wallachia and annex it. Vlad also set out to gather a group of fighters comprised of 30,000 men. When the Turks tried to disembark at Vidin, they were attacked by arrows, Vlad also used many other tactics in war, as scorched earth, poisoned the river water, also created marshes by diverting the waters of small rivers. Throughout the campaign the Turks were subject to fatigue yet they kept advancing, Vlad also adopted guerrilla tactics, he also sent people suffering from lethal diseases like plague, syphilis etc. to intermix with Turks and infect them. When eventually Turks reached the capital, they found the gates of capital open and found about 20,000 Turks and Muslim Bulgarians impaled, the rotten corpse of Hamza Pasha impaled on the highest stake, to symbolize his 'high ranking'. Seeing this sight, the Turks retreated with the Sultan saying that could not take the land away from the man who did such things. However, later on Turks called celebration of great victory over Vlad Ţepeş. The Turks had enslaved many of the local inhabitants, which they marched on their way south together with 200,000 cattle and horses. Meanwhile Vlad was also attacked by his cousin Stephen III of Moldavia, who wanted to retake Akkerman and Chilia.

"Sims acquired a total of eleven women slaves with vesicovaginal fistula from their masters by promising to lodge, board, and treat them, and he built a spartan wooden building, where he conducted surgical experiments on them for the next four years. During the Victorian period, layers of dress signaled sexual chastity, and doctors were not in the habit of viewing women's unclothed bodies; not even their professional stature gave them license to gaze at women's genitalia. When Sims undertook his fistula experiments, even the term 'gynecology' was a few years in the future. Instead, 'women's doctors' averted their eyes in a chivalrous fashion as they knelt to tend to the modestly clothed ladies of their class, relying upon their sense of touch beneath voluminous Victorian skirts. However, Sims, working with enslaved blacks, was constrained by no such delicacy. He made the women undress completely, then kneel on hands and knees while he and several phys...

World War II as you've NEVER seen it before! Light-hearted photos of nude British and Allied soldiers revealed in eye-opening new book From the horrors of the Blitz to kamikaze attacks in the Pacific, World War II inflicted terrible suffering on troops and civilians alike. But as these photos reveal, soldiers fighting the war, whether in the Far East or Europe, did enjoy some more light-hearted moments. Hidden away in the attics of former servicemen for more than 60 years, the pictures, which show soldiers from the UK, Australia and the USA among others, shed fresh light on the friendships fostered between the men who fought. His extensive collection includes snapshots of soldiers and sailors from Australia, the UK, France, Italy, Poland, Russia, and the USA, cavorting on the sand in the South Pacific, shivering in the snow of Eastern Europe, posing solo in the barracks, and in great happy groups. Many are barely out of boyhood, at their physical peak and are responding to...

Ana Mendieta, Untitled (Rape Scene), 1973

Ana Mendieta, Untitled (Rape Scene), 1973 "Untitled (Rape Scene) is the documentation of an action that the artist performed in her apartment in Iowa City, while she was a student at the University of Iowa on the innovative Intermedia art course run by the German artist Hans Breder (born 1935). It was created in response to a brutal and highly publicised rape and murder of a nursing student, Sara Ann Otten, by another student in March 1973. The following month Mendieta invited her fellow students to her apartment where, through a door left purposefully ajar, they found her in the position recorded in this photograph, which recreated the scene as reported in the press. Some time later, Mendieta recalled that her audience ‘all sat down, and started talking about it. I didn’t move. I stayed in position about an hour. It really jolted them.’ (Quoted in Ana Mendieta, p.127, note 11.) In 1980, she commented that the rape had ‘moved and frightened’ her, elaborating: ‘I think ...

This is the Mitsubishi Dialtone D160, the largest subwoofer ever built, with 60 inches in the 1980s.

This is the Mitsubishi Dialtone D160, the largest subwoofer ever built, with 60 inches in the 1980s. Weighing 800kg, it can easily shatter windows and produces small earthquakes that can be felt like ground vibrations within a 2-kilometer range. At the Koriyama factory, the test was conducted at first in the measuring room, but was stopped because the ceiling lamps fell due to vibration. The outdoor test appeared to have a negative impact on the neighborhood. At a distance of about 100 m from the speaker, the sound was felt, but at a greater distance, it was transmitted as vibration and noise on the earth instead of an audible sound. Within a 2-kilometer radius of the factory, damage such as vibrations, small earthquakes, as well as noises from walls and windows occurred

My Shocking Experience With Patient In A Hospital

My Shocking Experience With Patient In A Hospital I once cared for a middle-aged patient who presented to emergency with a dildo-related very embarrassing situation. He purchased the toy for one of his sexcapades. Curiosity hit. And he shoved the damn thing in his pooper, high-high up! “Me first” attitude didn’t do him much good. Funny feelings subsided fairly quickly and the horror struck when he couldn’t get it out. His drainage was jammed, the toy was slipping further up and after about 24 hours of wishfully waiting for it to naturally pass, it hurt bad enough to seek medical help. The official party line, that he vehemently iterated, was I just fell onto it, how else do you think it got up there! Needless to say, emergency surgery was necessary and he landed in the ICU with sepsis related post-op complications. It took him loooong before being able to use the toilet normally! Google ** NOT the patient’s X-ray, but it looked similar** Though I have seen some really absurd stuf...
