16th Summit of the Non-Aligned Movement, Controversies, Attendance of Ban Ki-moon
While it is usual for the UN Secretary-General to attend NAM Summits, the presence of Ban Ki-moon was opposed by the United States and Israel. Haaretz reported that Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu had personally appealed to the secretary-general not to attend this summit and described Iran as "a regime that represents the greatest danger to world peace". In addition, according to Maariv, the Israeli Foreign Ministry ordered Israel's embassies to encourage their host countries not to attend or to send only lower-level representatives to the summit.

The government of the United States also publicly expressed displeasure over world leaders attending the summit. U.S. State Department spokesperson Victoria Nuland said: "We think that this is a strange place and an inappropriate place for this meeting. We have made that point to participating countries. We've also made that point to [the UN] Secretary General Ban Ki-moon. If he does choose to go, we hope he will make the strongest points of concern." Haaretz reported that both the United States and Israel believed that such a visit would break their efforts to isolate Iran from the international community by giving the country a "renewed international legitimacy."

Although the US and Israel had urged Ban to boycott the summit, UN spokesman Martin Nesirky confirmed that Ban would attend the summit. He hoped to meet with Supreme Leader of Iran Ali Khamenei and President Mahmoud Ahmadenijad at the sidelines of the summit to have "meaningful and fruitful discussions" and to "convey the international community's expectations that Iran make urgent progress on issues including the country's controversial nuclear program, terrorism, human rights and the crisis in Syria."


16th Summit of the Non-Aligned Movement, Controversies, Attendance of Ban Ki-moon
Still, Ban Ki-moon signalled that he would not refrain from criticizing Iran at the summit. At the summit, harsh criticism of Iran's human rights record was levelled by Ban, which caught Iranian officials off guard. Ban criticised Iran in calling the country to "…demonstrate that it can play a moderate and constructive role internationally, [which] includes responsible action on the nuclear program" and "for the sake of peace and security in this region and globally, [urged] Iran to take the necessary measures to build international confidence in the exclusively peaceful nature of its nuclear programme." Iranian opposition groups urged Ban Ki-moon to use his attendance at the summit as a way to criticize the Iranian government over its crackdowns on political dissent, such as the house arrest of opposition leaders Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mahdi Karroubi.


16th Summit of the Non-Aligned Movement, Controversies, Fatah–Hamas rivalry
In late August, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad invited Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh to the summit, despite Fatah leader Mahmoud Abbas' attendance being contingent on Abbas serving as the sole representative of the Palestinians at the summit, Haniyeh's office said that he would attend the summit, sparking a counter-protest. Fatah's Prime Minister Salam Fayyad condemned the invitation, accused Iran of being "against Palestinian national unity" and said that only his party's representatives were the "sole and legitimate representative" of the Palestinians.

Their Foreign Affairs Minister Riyad al-Maliki said that if Haniyeh attends the conference Abbas would not attend and reiterated the stance that it was the only "legitimate Palestinian representative." The Palestine Liberation Organization also condemned the invitation, saying that "Iran joined the Israeli choir which aims to undermine the Palestinian political system and its elected legitimacies."

However, on 26 August, news agencies Mehr and ISNA said that it had not invited Haniyeh. Mohammad Reza Forqani, the spokesman for the summit, said: "Only [Palestinian President] Mahmoud Abbas has been invited to the NAM summit."

On the other hand, on 26 August, a source close to Hamas declared "After intense consultations in the last few hours, a decision was taken not to attend the NAM summit that will take place in Tehran at the end of this month." Taher al-Nono, a Hamas spokesman, appropriating Ahmadinejad told this invitation shows Iran's support of Palestine but Haniyeh excused and refrain for attendance in the summit to not intensify disagreements and divides of Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims.

Iranian state media has been heavily criticized for distorting part of Egyptian President Morsi's speech at the summit.


16th Summit of the Non-Aligned Movement, Controversies, Error in translations
On 30 August 2012, during the summit, some Iranian media outlets reported that official Iranian stations were deceiving Iranians by tampering with the Persian translation of Egyptian President Morsi's speech, in order to fit the Iranian government's rhetoric – namely, opposing criticism of the Assad government in Syria, an ally of Iran. Iranian official state television refused to translate part of Morsi's speech which criticized Syria. One outlet reported that the Iranian interpreter translated part of Morsi's speech which criticized Assad as in fact supporting Assad, saying that "we must support the ruling regime in Syria." In another case, when Morsi denounced the Syrian government as "tyrannical", the Iranian translator quoted Morsi as saying that "there's a crisis in Syria and all of us must support the Syrian ruling system."


16th Summit of the Non-Aligned Movement, Controversies, Error in translations
Jahan News and Asiran, as well as other Iranian outlets, published the tampered speech, and deliberately highlighted parts of Morsi's speech without referring to Morsi's stance on Syria. In other cases, the Iranian translator exchanged the word Syria with Bahrain when discussing countries that have been affected by the Arab Spring, as well as "Islamic Awakening" instead of "Arab Spring." Iranian media activist Ameed Maqdam Maqdam reported that this could not have happened unless the translator received orders from Iranian higher authorities, aiming to deceive Iranian public opinion.

The regiment was recruited in early 1862 and mustered into Confederate service in April 1862. The unit fought as cavalry at the Battle of Cotton Plant but it was dismounted in the summer of 1862. The 16th Cavalry served as infantry in Walker's Texas Division for the remainder of the war. The regiment fought at Milliken's Bend, Mansfield, Pleasant Hill, and Jenkins' Ferry. The unit marched to Texas in early 1865 and disbanded in May 1865.


16th Texas Cavalry Regiment, History, Formation
In April 1862, the regiment organized at Dallas and mustered into Confederate service in the middle of April. Nearly 1,000 horsemen were recruited and they were formed into ten companies. The soldiers hailed mostly from Collin, Cooke, and Grayson Counties. The field officers were William F. Fitzhugh, Edward P. Gregg, and William W. Diamond. The regiment would have several nicknames including Bloody Sixteenth, Briscoe's Cavalry, Daugherty's Cavalry, Diamond's Cavalry, Fitzhugh's Cavalry, and Gregg's Cavalry.


16th Texas Cavalry Regiment, History, 1862
In March 1862, Earl Van Dorn received an order to transfer his Army of the West to Corinth, Mississippi. Van Dorn moved all available soldiers, ammunition, food, and weapons to the east side of the Mississippi River. The Union Army of the Southwest under Samuel Ryan Curtis marched south from Missouri and captured Batesville, Arkansas on 2 May. Though Curtis was soon compelled to transfer ten infantry regiments east of the Mississippi, his army still posed major threat to eastern Arkansas.


16th Texas Cavalry Regiment, History, 1862
The only Confederate general officer in the state, John Selden Roane started to detain Texas cavalry regiments as they crossed Arkansas on their way to Memphis, Tennessee. Roane also pleaded for a new overall commander, so Thomas C. Hindman was sent to take charge. The new commander was shocked to find few soldiers and military equipment to defend the state. Hindman improvised an army of 4,000 Texas cavalry and 1,500 Arkansas infantry within a fairly short time. In May, Curtis reported a strength of 6,000 infantry, 3,000 cavalry, and 1,000 artillerymen.


16th Texas Cavalry Regiment, History, 1862
Curtis tried to march to Little Rock but his supply line broke down and he abandoned the effort. Then Curtis's army moved south down the White River. The 16th Texas fought at the Battle of Cotton Plant on 7 July 1862. In this action, the Federal troops were opposed by Albert Rust with 5,000 Arkansas infantry and Texas cavalry. While his army crossed the Cache River, Curtis sent Charles Edward Hovey with 400 soldiers and one cannon to scout ahead.


16th Texas Cavalry Regiment, History, 1862
Near Parley Hill's plantation, the Federals bumped into 1,000 men from the 12th Texas Cavalry and 16th Texas Cavalry Regiments under William Henry Parsons. Colonel Fitzhugh led the 16th Cavalry during the battle. After the initial contact, the Texans compelled part of Hovey's troops to retreat. Emerging from a wooded area and seeing the backs of their enemies, the Texas cavalry charged up the road. They ran into an ambush by three companies of the 33rd Illinois Infantry Regiment hidden in a cornfield. After a few volleys emptied a number of saddles, the Texans dispersed into the woods.


16th Texas Cavalry Regiment, History, 1862
After a lull, 200 Union troops and two more cannons reinforced Hovey and began to push back the Texans. Later in the day another Union brigade under William P. Benton arrived as reinforcements. Rust's troops retreated behind the lower Cache River and destroyed their boats. One soldier of the 12th Texas wrote that his unit lost 14 killed, 20 seriously wounded, 16 slightly wounded, and two missing. He believed that the 16th suffered similar losses. Hindman was critical of Rust's handling of the battle.


16th Texas Cavalry Regiment, History, 1862
The 16th Texas Cavalry was ordered to dismount and fight as infantry in July 1862. This proved very unpopular since most Texans considered themselves horsemen. Altogether, four regiments were dismounted because of the scarcity of food for horses. This caused a number of men to desert. Diseases also killed many soldiers or rendered them unfit for service. In October 1862, Henry Eustace McCulloch began organizing a Texas infantry division. On 1 January 1863, John George Walker assumed command of the division and led it until the end of the war.


16th Texas Cavalry Regiment, History, 1862
It was originally formed into four brigades, but the 4th Brigade was soon captured at the Battle of Arkansas Post. The 3rd Brigade consisted of the 16th, 17th, and 19th Texas Infantry Regiments, the 16th Cavalry (dismounted), and Edgar's Texas Battery. Later, the 2nd Texas Partisan Rangers Regiment (dismounted) was added to the brigade. The 3rd Texas Infantry Regiment served briefly with the brigade in 1864 but was soon sent home. The 3rd Brigade's commanders during the war were George M. Flournoy, H. E. McCulloch, William Read Scurry, and Richard Waterhouse.


16th Texas Cavalry Regiment, History, 1863–1865
In mid-1863, a Confederate army was surrounded in the Siege of Vicksburg. Richard Taylor was ordered to launch operations to help the defenders of Vicksburg. Walker's Texas Division arrived at Richmond, Louisiana on 6 June where Taylor made attack plans. That day, a Union force consisting of the 9th Louisiana Infantry Regiment (former African-American slaves) and elements of the 10th Illinois Cavalry Regiment under Herman Lieb made a reconnaissance toward Richmond which resulted in skirmishing. After withdrawing to Milliken's Bend, Lieb requested reinforcements and directed his soldiers to fortify their camp with cotton bales and abatis.


16th Texas Cavalry Regiment, History, 1863–1865
Soon the Federal defenders were reinforced by the 23rd Iowa Volunteer Infantry Regiment and the gunboat USS Choctaw. That night Walker's troops started their approach march, planning to attack the Union camps at dawn. McCulloch's 3rd Brigade took the left fork toward Milliken's Bend while James Morrison Hawes's 1st Brigade took the right fork toward Young's Point. Walker held back Horace Randal's 2nd Brigade as a reserve.


16th Texas Cavalry Regiment, History, 1863–1865
At 2:30 am, the Battle of Milliken's Bend started when the 3rd Brigade encountered the Union pickets. McCulloch deployed his 1,500 soldiers with the 16th Texas Cavalry on the left, 17th Texas Infantry in the center, 19th Texas Infantry on the right, and 16th Texas Infantry in reserve. Lieb commanded 1,061 defenders in the 8th Louisiana, 9th Louisiana, 11th Louisiana, 13th Louisiana, 1st Mississippi, and 23rd Iowa. The Texans pressed back the Union defenders through a series of hedgerows before arriving in front of the Federal main line of defense. Screaming, "No quarter for the officers. Kill the damned abolitionists!"


16th Texas Cavalry Regiment, History, 1863–1865
the Texans charged. After receiving a murderous volley from the defenders, the attackers rushed forward and got among the poorly-trained ex-slaves before they could reload their weapons. McCulloch reported that the white troops fled first while the black soldiers fought stubbornly. After breaking through the first line, the Texans charged a second line but were driven back by the big guns of the Choctaw. When the USS Lexington was seen approaching, McCulloch called off the attack and ordered a retreat. The Confederates lost 44 killed, 131 wounded, and 10 missing while the Union lost 101 killed, 285 wounded, and 266 missing. The 16th Cavalry suffered losses of 19 killed, 47 wounded, and one missing.


16th Texas Cavalry Regiment, History, 1863–1865
In July 1863 the 16th Texas Cavalry marched 300 mi (483 km) across central and northern Louisiana. Private Andrew Jackson Lucas remembered that the soldiers were often underfed and, "We had but little in the way of camp equipage and suffered much from rain and cold." The regiment spent January and February 1864 at Camp Glenwood in Louisiana. Private J. B. Briscoe was sent on a detail to Texas to gather beef cattle for the Confederate government. Briscoe wrote, "My battles were against hunger. We were often fed on corn in the shuck, sometimes wheat bran alone, and sometimes bacon alone."


16th Texas Cavalry Regiment, History, 1863–1865
The regiment fought at the Battle of Mansfield on 8 April 1864 and at the Battle of Pleasant Hill the following day. Taylor had 9,000 troops available at Mansfield. He deployed Walker's division on the right and Alfred Mouton's division on the left, with cavalry covering both flanks. The Union army of Nathaniel P. Banks had at least 20,000 soldiers, but they were strung out in a long column. After Mouton's division charged the Federals and overwhelmed their opponents, Walker's division also attacked, completing the rout.


16th Texas Cavalry Regiment, History, 1863–1865
Of 12,000 Union troops engaged, 2,235 became casualties and the Confederates captured 20 guns and 200 wagons. Confederate casualties were less than half of the Federal loss. That evening, Taylor was reinforced to 12,500 men and he attacked the next day at Pleasant Hill. Walker's division was ordered to hold the Union army in front while Thomas James Churchill's infantry attacked on the right and Tom Green's cavalry went forward on the left. Mouton's division, now under Camille Polignac (Mouton had been killed), was in reserve.


16th Texas Cavalry Regiment, History, 1863–1865
Churchill's troops enjoyed initial success but were soon driven back by veteran Union troops under Andrew Jackson Smith. Walker was badly wounded and the action was a tactical defeat for the Confederates. The Union army sustained 1,369 casualties while the Confederates lost 1,626. Nevertheless, Banks abandoned the Red River campaign and retreated.


16th Texas Cavalry Regiment, History, 1863–1865
After Pleasant Hill, Edmund Kirby Smith ordered the divisions of Churchill, Mosby Monroe Parsons, and Walker to march north to deal with the threat of Frederick Steele's Union force in Arkansas. Steele's troops occupied Camden, Arkansas but a lack of supplies and a defeat at the Battle of Marks' Mills made their position weak. On 26 April, Steele's column withdrew from Camden headed back to Little Rock. By 29 April the Federals were crossing the Saline River at Jenkins' Ferry. The 16th Texas Cavalry fought at the Battle of Jenkins' Ferry on 30 April 1864.


16th Texas Cavalry Regiment, History, 1863–1865
The Union troops defended a position on the south side of the river between a flooded creek and a swamp, leaving their attackers no room for maneuver. That morning, the divisions of Churchill, Parsons, and Walker were flung into the attack, one after another, to be met with a vigorous defense. By 12:30 all attacks were beaten back and Steele's column continued its retreat. The 3rd Brigade's General Scurry and the 2nd Brigade's General Randal were both killed. In June 1864, Walker was promoted to lead the District of West Louisiana and John Horace Forney took command of the Texas Division. In March and April 1865, the division marched back to Texas. The 16th Texas Cavalry disbanded on 26 May 1865 at Camp Groce in Hempstead, Texas.


16th The Queen's Lancers
The 16th The Queen's Lancers was a cavalry regiment of the British Army, first raised in 1759. It saw service for two centuries, before being amalgamated with the 5th Royal Irish Lancers to form the 16th/5th Lancers in 1922.


16th The Queen's Lancers, History, Early wars
The regiment was raised in 1759 by Colonel John Burgoyne as the 16th Regiment of (Light) Dragoons, being the second of the new regiments of light dragoons; it was also known as Burgoyne's Light Horse. The regiment was closely involved, undertaking several cavalry charges, in the action leading up to the capture of the French Garrison of Belle Île in April 1761 during the Seven Years' War.

It also made a major contribution to the British victories against the Spaniards at the Battle of Valencia de Alcántara in August 1762 and at the Battle of Vila Velha in October 1762 during the Anglo-Spanish War. In 1766 the regiment was renamed after Queen Charlotte as the 2nd (or The Queen's) Regiment of (Light) Dragoons, the number being an attempt to create a new numbering system for the light dragoon regiments. However, the old system was quickly re-established, with the regiment returning as the 16th (The Queen's) Regiment of (Light) Dragoons in 1769.


16th The Queen's Lancers, History, Early wars

However, the Gulf of Tonkin incident intervened and the 16th was kept in the Pacific to maintain an air defense capability there. It deployed F-102s to the Philippines and South Vietnam from August to October 1964 for air defense against possible North Vietnamese air attacks.

16th Weapons Squadron, History, Tactical fighter operations
In April 1983 the unit became the 16th Tactical Fighter Squadron but still kept its training role, although not for beginner pilots but for higher levels of combat training. It was only fitting that as the world's first F-16 squadron that the 16th received the 1,000th F-16 to come off the General Dynamics assembly line on 22 July 1983. During the three years of operational tasking the squadron continued to train and upgrade its pilots to combat ready status and to maintain the capability to deploy worldwide on short notice and employ the F-16 in the conventional air-to-air and air-to-ground combat roles. The unit inactivated on 30 June 1986.

16th and 17th Republican People's Party Extraordinary Conventions
The 16th and 17th Republican People's Party Extraordinary Conventions (Turkish: 16. ve 17. Cumhuriyet Halk Partisi olağanüstü kurultayları) were held on 26 and 27 February 2012 respectively. Two separate conventions were held, since the Republican People's Party (CHP) of Turkey had the changing of several party regulations on its agenda. The rare occasion in which two extraordinary conventions were held on two days in a row resulted in the CHP being nicknamed the "party of conventions." The 16th convention saw party policy, achievements and proposed regulation changes being discussed, with a new party council elected.


16th and 17th Republican People's Party Extraordinary Conventions
The new council president was named as Adnan Keskin. The 17th convention was held a day later and was only attended by party delegates, who held a final discussion and then a vote on adopting the new regulations. The new regulations were accepted by a majority of the delegates, with 362 dissidents voting against. The terms of the accepted changes took effect in time for the 34th ordinary convention held on 1 March 2012.


16th and 17th Republican People's Party Extraordinary Conventions
The convention saw a split between those in favour of the regulation reforms and "dissident" party members led mainly by Manisa MP İsa Gök. Gök had claimed repeatedly that an insufficient amount of delegates (583 out of 1,247) had arrived which thus meant that the conventions could not take place. Met with boos and aggression, Gök was forced out of the convention. The newly reformed regulations included the devolution of greater powers and funding to local party associations and youth/women wings, as well as the induction of a quota for equal gender representation.


16th and 17th Republican People's Party Extraordinary Conventions
Seats on the party's council were reduced but an honorary committee of party grandees was also created, while running for the party leadership was made easier. The process by which parliamentary candidates were chosen was changed and becoming a party member was made easier. The new regulations also featured changes to the party's principles, with new articles taking a tougher stance against elitism and imperialism.


16th and 17th Republican People's Party Extraordinary Conventions
During the 17th convention in which only delegates were admitted, 9 proposed changes made by the 362 dissident delegates, plus a proposed bulk change made after, were all rejected by the other delegates. The new regulations were thus voted in with a majority. In total, 47 articles of the CHP party regulations were changed as a result.

A notorious serial murder case, which generated an international media circus, centered in the 16th arrondissement during the Nazi occupation of France during World War II. The focal point of the case was French doctor Marcel Petiot, who in 1941 bought a house at 21 Rue le Sueur in "the heart of Paris's fashionable 16th arrondissement". On 11 March 1944, Petiot's neighbors complained to police of a foul stench in the area and of large amounts of smoke billowing from a chimney of the house.

Fearing a chimney fire, the police summoned firemen, who entered the house and found a roaring fire in a coal stove in the basement. In the fire, and scattered in the basement, were human remains. Following an investigation, during which time Petiot attempted to evade capture, "the monster of rue Le Sueur" was ultimately arrested and went on trial on 19 March 1946, facing 135 criminal charges. He was convicted of 26 counts of murder and sentenced to death. On 25 May, Petiot was beheaded, after a stay of several days due to a problem in the release mechanism of the guillotine.

Copernicus proposed the heliocentric universe, which was met with strong resistance, and Tycho Brahe refuted the theory of celestial spheres through observational measurement of the 1572 appearance of a Milky Way supernova.

These events directly challenged the long-held notion of an immutable universe supported by Ptolemy and Aristotle, and led to major revolutions in astronomy and science. Galileo Galilei became a champion of the new sciences, invented the first thermometer and made substantial contributions in the fields of physics and astronomy, becoming a major figure in the Scientific Revolution.

Spain and Portugal colonized large parts of Central and South America, followed by France and England in northern America and the lesser Antilles. The Portuguese became the masters of trade between Brazil, the coasts of Africa, their possessions in the Indies and the Moluccas in Oceania, whereas the Spanish came to dominate the greater Antilles, Mexico, Peru, and opened trade across the Pacific Ocean, linking the Americas with the Indies. English and French corsaires began to practice persistent theft of Spanish and Portuguese treasures.

This era of colonialism established mercantilism as the leading school of economic thought, where the economic system was viewed as a zero-sum game in which any gain by one party required a loss by another. The mercantilist doctrine encouraged the many intra-European wars of the period and arguably fueled European expansion and imperialism throughout the world until the 19th century or early 20th century.
