In April 1978, Lumago was among those officers who were deeply criticised by Amin in a public radio broadcast.
|
Afterwards, on 8 May he was dismissed as Chief of Staff and Minister of State for Defence and relegated to inspecting the equipment of the army's mechanised regiments.
|
In 1979 Tanzanian forces and Ugandan rebels invaded Uganda and overthrew Amin.
|
Lumago fled from his mansion in Koboko, which was subsequently destroyed.
|
He went to Zaire, from where he organized remnants of the Uganda Army into a rebel force.
|
Together with other pro-Amin groups, Lumago's force invaded the West Nile region in 1980, starting the Ugandan Bush War.
|
He eventually rose to commander of the pro-Amin insurgent group known as Former Uganda National Army (FUNA).
|
In July 1985, the Ugandan government under Tito Okello invited him and about 1,500 FUNA fighters to return.
|
He accepted, joined Okello's government, and consequently began to fight against another rebel movement, the National Resistance Army (NRA) of Yoweri Museveni.
|
Lumago set up his headquarters in a hotel in Kampala from where he gave interviews and directed his troops.
|
Meanwhile, FUNA was accused of gross indiscipline, reportedly raping and murdering civilians in the capital and other areas, though Lumago denied these charges.
|
He also lobbied for an anmesty to allow Idi Amin to return to Uganda.
|
Lumago's troops fought with the UNLA to defend Kampala from a NRA offensive in January 1986, but were defeated.
|
Lumago was forced to flee back into Zaire where he continued to live in exile until 1997.
|
In late 2011 Lumago was made adviser to President Museveni for security in the West Nile sub-region.
|
In 2012 Lumago fell ill and was taken to a medical clinic in Koboko.
|
The clinic referred him to Arua Referral Hospital in Arua, where he was taken and admitted into the intensive care unit.
|
His health continued to deteriorate until he died on 8 May at the age of 73.
|
Lumago was Christian.
|
By the time of his death, he had three wives and about thirty children.
|
Lumago was a close friend of Andrew Mukooza, the last commander of the Uganda Army Air Force.

German Space Operations Center
|
The German Space Operations Center (GSOC; ) is the mission control center of German Aerospace Center (DLR) in Oberpfaffenhofen near Munich, Germany.
|
The GSOC performs the following tasks in national and international spaceflight:
|
After the Federal Republic of Germany decided in the 1960s to launch a national space program and to participate in international space projects, the idea of having its own space control center became concrete.
|
In 1967, then Federal Minister of Finance Franz Josef Strauss laid the foundation stone for the first building complex, which was also opened a little later.
|
Until 1985, the Oberpfaffenhofen site of the then German Aerospace Research and Testing Institute (DFVLR) increasingly concentrated on spaceflight.
|
The human spaceflight received special attention.
|
Indeed, the GSOC then accompanied two crewed missions: During STS-61-A in 1985, GSOC took over the control of the Spacelab, while flight control continued from NASA's Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center was acquired.
|
For the first time, the Payload Operation Control Center (POCC) of a US space mission was directed outside of NASA.
|
This also means that, for the first time, a human spaceflight was (partially) monitored from outside the USA or the Soviet Union.
|
During this mission, then Bavarian Prime Minister Franz Josef Strauss announced on 5 November 1985 an extensive investment program with which the role of Oberpfaffenhofen in European spaceflight should be increased.
|
But the failure of Ariane 3 in 1985 and the "Challenger" disaster in 1986 slowed the development of the Oberpfaffenhofen and thus the GSOC.
|
Nevertheless, the investment program also gave the GSOC a new building (Building 140), the construction began on 4 April 1989.
|
In 1993, GSOC accompanied the entire operation with STS-55 and had full payload control via the Spacelab.
|
This was the first time that there was unfiltered access to all data.

John Wyeth
|
John Wyeth (1770-1858) was a printer in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania who is best-known for printing "Wyeth's Repository of Sacred Music, Part Second" (Harrisburg, PA: 1813), which marks an important transition in American music.
|
Like the original "Repository" of 1810, "Part Second" used the four-shape system of Little and Smith in "The Easy Instructor" (Philadelphia, PA: 1801) to appeal to a wider audience; but its pioneering inclusion American folk tunes influenced all subsequent folk hymn, camp meeting, and shape note collections.
|
Musicologist Warren Steel sees "Wyeth's Repository of Sacred Music, Part Second" as marking "the end of the age of New England composer-compilers (1770-1810) and the beginning of the age of southern collector-compilers (1816-1860)."
|
John Wyeth was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the son of Ebenezer Wyeth, II, who fought at Bunker Hill, and Mary Wyeth, and the younger brother (by 12 years) of Joshua Wyeth who at the age of 16 participated in the Boston Tea Party.
|
He learned printing through an apprenticeship.
|
He worked as a printer in Santo Domingo.
|
With the outbreak of the Haitian Revolution in 1791, he moved to Philadelphia, and finally settled in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
|
In 1792 he became the publisher of a newspaper, "The Oracle of the Dauphin" (Dauphin County).
|
The following year he was appointed postmaster by George Washington, but in 1798 John Adams, who saw a conflict of interest in having a newspaper man also act as postmaster, dismissed him, although they were both Federalists.
|
There is no record of any musical training or activity, until 1810 when he published Joseph Doll's "Der leichte Unterricht in der Vokal Musik" for the German-speaking market, and "Wyeth’s Repository of Sacred Music", for moderate evangelical Christians.
|
In 1813 he published a "Second Part" of the "Repository of Sacred Music," containing songs for Methodists and Baptists.
|
In 1818 he published "Choral Harmonie enthaltend Kirchen-Melodien" for German Lutherans.
|
His wife was Louisa Wyeth (Weiss), together they had three children.
|
His son Louis Wyeth (1812-1889) became a county judge of Marshall County, Alabama.
|
Although published in the north, "Wyeth's Repository of Sacred Music, Part Second" (1813), had a profound influence on Southern shape note tune-books.
|
Of the 41 folk-hymns introduced here, 10 were used by Ananias Davisson in the "Kentucky Harmony" (1816), 20 by William Walker in the "Southern Harmony" (1835), and six in the Sacred Harp (1844).
|
The tune, now known as "Nettleton," with the words "Come Thou Font Of Every Blessing" first appears here on page 112 in two parts (tenor and bass); it is now used in 397 hymnals.
|
One element of "Part Second," the appearance of English hymnody, such as the ten tunes attributed to Martin Madan, was part of an on-going trend in the northern states, but ignored by Southern tunebook compilers, who increasingly turned to regional folk tunes as sources of inspiration.
|
John Wyeth describes his musical qualifications in the last sentence of the "Preface" to the first part of the "Repository":
|
In short, if many years attention to the charms of church music, if an extensive acquaintance with the taste of teachers of the first emininence in the United States, and with the possession of some thousand pages of selected music to cull from, be considerations, which may added to the merit of the editor's undertaking...
|
Wyeth does not claim any musical training or attendance at one of the singing schools typical of the time; he limits himself to (1) liking church music; (2) knowing the "taste" of teachers (but not studying under them), and (3) owning a collection of books from which to cull.
|
Musicologist Irving Lowens suggests that his motivations may have been strictly business.
|
Ross Ellison mentions the shrewdness in discovering a newly emerging musical market (revival music and camp meeting songs) as the significance of Wyeth's his contribution to American music.
|
Warren Steel qualifies this assessment by drawing attention to the fact that Wyeth grew up in the Boston-Cambridge area at a time when singing-schools were popular, and when William Billings and others were creating American choral music.
|
The lack of musical skills did not matter for the original "Repository," in which Wyeth merely reprinted material from earlier, successful publications.
|
The innovative aspects of "Part Second" are attributed Elkanah Kelsey Dare, who was hired as music-editor, and contributed 16 of his own compositions (his entire known work).
|
Dare may have been assisted by others, but their names have not been recorded.

Dzhagdy Range
|
The Dzhagdy Range () is a range of mountains in far North-eastern Russia.
|
Administratively it belongs partly to Amur Oblast and partly to the Khabarovsk Krai of the Russian Federation.
|
The Dzhagdy is a range in northeastern Siberia, located in the northeast of Amur Oblast and the western side of Khabarovsk Krai.
|
It is part of the Yankan - Tukuringra - Soktakhan - Dzhagdy group of mountain ranges (which also includes the Turan Range), being the easternmost of the group.
|
The Upper Zeya Plain lies between this alignment of ranges and the Stanovoy Range to the north.
|
The Dzhagdy Range is limited by the Zeya River valley to the north and west, where Zeya town is located.
|
The Tukuringra Range joins the Soktakhan and the Dzhagdy on the area of the Zeya Dam.
|
To the north flows the Uda River and in the south lies the Zeya-Bureya Lowland.
|
To the southeast the Selemdzha Range continues further eastwards.
|
The highest point of the Dzhagdy is an unnamed peak reaching .
|
The slopes of the range are covered by conifer forests, part of the Da Hinggan-Dzhagdy Mountains conifer forests ecoregion, together with the Greater Khingan (Da Hinggan) Range of Manchuria, China.
|
The Zeya Nature Reserve is located at the eastern end of the Tukuringra Range, where it joins the Dzhagdy.
|
The lower altitudes of the range provide a habitat for the Siberian Salamander.
