# Ergänzungs-Jagdgeschwader

A **Ergänzungs-Jagdgeschwader (EJG)** were Luftwaffe replacement training units which were part of a larger operational Jagdgeschwader. The Germans were sometimes forced to undertake operations and training simultaneously. In 1944, the Luftwaffe formed two of these units, EJG 1 and EJG 2, by combining various training and experimental units. Its commanders included Viktor Bauer and Werner Andres.

## Ergänzungs-Jagdgeschwader 1

The *Geschwader* EJG 1 was formed in early 1944 from *Ergänzungs-Jagdgruppe West*, *Ergänzungs-Jagdgruppe Nord* and *Ergänzungs-Jagdgruppe Ost*. The *Geschwaderstab* (headquarters unit) was based in Märkisch Friedland, present-day Mirosławiec in Poland, while the *Staffeln* (squadrons) were based on airfields in Pomerania, Brandenburg, Lausitz, present-day Lusatia, and Silesia. Initially, the unit was conceived as a training unit for fighter pilots. The deteriorating war situation forced Luftwaffe training units into combat operations. In January 1945, an *Einsatzgruppe*, an operational combat group, was created and deployed on the Oder where they fought in the Vistula–Oder offensive. In March/April 1945, the unit was disbanded and its pilots were assigned to other *Jagdgeschwader*.

## Ergänzungs-Jagdgeschwader 2

In late 1944, EJG 2 was formed from various *Erprobungskommandos*, experimental test units, primarily for conversion training to the Messerschmitt Me 262 jet fighter, the Messerschmitt Me 163 rocket fighter and Heinkel He 162 jet fighter. The *Geschwaderstab* was based at Sprottau, present-day Szprotawa in western Poland. The unit had been formed with three *Gruppen* (groups). I. *Group* was equipped with the Messerschmitt Bf 109 and Focke-Wulf Fw 190 piston engine fighters and based at airfields northwest of Berlin. II. *Gruppe*, a "blind" or bad weather flying unit, was located at Ludwigslust. III. *Gruppe* was equipped with the Me 262 jet aircraft and was based at Lechfeld Airfield. The *Geschwader* was led by *Major* Werner Andres. On 13 February 1945, *Oberstleutnant* Heinrich Bär was given command of III. *Gruppe*. On 23 April, Bär relocated III. *Gruppe* of EJG 2 to Munich-Riem Airfield where *Jagdverband* 44 (JV 44—44th Fighter Detachment), led by the former *General der Jagdflieger* Adolf Galland, was based. There, III./EJG 2 was disbanded and its pilots assigned to JV 44.

title: Taylor Glacier

abstract:
The Taylor Glacier is a glacier in Antarctica about 35 nautical miles long, flowing from the plateau of Victoria Land into the western end of Taylor Valley, north of the Kukri Hills.
It flows to the south of the Asgard Range. The middle part of the glacier is bounded on the north by the Inland Forts and on the south by Beacon Valley.

text:
# Taylor Glacier

The **Taylor Glacier** (77°44′S 162°10′E / 77.733°S 162.167°E / -77.733; 162.167 (Taylor Glacier)) is a glacier in Antarctica about 35 nautical miles (65 km; 40 mi) long, flowing from the plateau of Victoria Land into the western end of Taylor Valley, north of the Kukri Hills. It flows to the south of the Asgard Range. The middle part of the glacier is bounded on the north by the Inland Forts and on the south by Beacon Valley.

## History

The Taylor Glacier was discovered by the British National Antarctic Expedition (BrNAE, 1901–04) and at that time thought to be a part of Ferrar Glacier. The Western Journey Party of the British Antarctic Expedition of 1910 determined that the upper and lower portions of what was then known as Ferrar Glacier are apposed, i.e., joined in Siamese-twin fashion north of Knobhead. With this discovery Robert Falcon Scott named the upper portion for Thomas Griffith Taylor, geologist and leader of the Western Journey Party.

## Glaciology Research

The Taylor Glacier has been the focus of a measurement and modeling effort carried out by researchers from the University of California, Berkeley and the University of Texas at Austin. Like other glaciers in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Taylor Glacier is “cold-based,” meaning its bottom is frozen to the ground below. The rest of the world's glaciers are “wet-based,” meaning they scrape over the bedrock, picking up and leaving obvious piles of debris (moraines) along their edges. Cold-based glaciers flow more like putty, pushed forward by their own weight. Cold-based glaciers pick up minimal debris, cause little erosion, and leave only small moraines. They also look different from above. Instead of having surfaces full of crevasses, cold-based glaciers are comparatively flat and smooth.

## Location

The Taylor Glacier originates on the polar plateau to the west of Horseshoe Mountain and Depot Nunatak. It flow east past Finger Mountain in the Quartermain Mountains to the south, and past Beehive Mountain in the Asgard Range to the north, then turn southeast and flows past the Solitary Rocks, Cavendish Icefalls and the Cavendish Rocks to the northeast, and past Knobhead to the south, where it turns northeast. There it is apposed, i.e., joined in Siamese-twin fashion, to the Ferrar Glacier. The glaciers separate, and the Taylor Glacier turns east past the western end of the Kukri Hills, flowing to the north of the Kukri Hills, while the Ferrar Glacier flows to the south of the Kukri Hills. The Catspaw Glacier and Stocking Glacier flow towards the Taylor Glacier from the Asgard Range, but do not reach it. Further east the Taylor Glacier tapers out at the west end of the Taylor Valley, where a small section of the glacier flows into Lake Bonney.

## Features

Named features of the glacier, from west to east, include,

### Taylor Dome

77°40′S 157°40′E / 77.667°S 157.667°E / -77.667; 157.667. An elliptical ice dome, 43 nautical miles (80 km; 49 mi) long ESE-WNW and 16 nautical miles (30 km; 18 mi) wide, rising to 2,400 metres (7,900 ft), centered about 29 nautical miles (54 km; 33 mi) west-northwest of Mount Crean, Lashly Mountains. The feature was delineated by the SPRI-NSF-TUD airborne radio echo sounding program, 1967-79. The name was first used by David J. Drewry of SPRI in 1980. The dome is one of the local sources of ice to the Taylor Glacier, from which it is named. Approved by United States Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) in 1994.

### Depot Nunatak

77°45′S 160°04′E / 77.750°S 160.067°E / -77.750; 160.067. Nunatak, 1,980 metres (6,500 ft) high, standing at the west side of Cassidy Glacier and Quartermain Mountains. Nearly vertical cliffs of columnar dolerite rise 150 metres (490 ft) above glacier level at the east end. So named by the BrNAE (1901–04), on their western journey in 1903, because they made a food depot there, for use on their return.

### Marvin Nunatak

77°46′S 160°03′E / 77.767°S 160.050°E / -77.767; 160.050. A prominent nunatak 1 nautical mile (1.9 km; 1.2 mi) south of Depot Nunatak, rising to 2,090 metres (6,860 ft) on the west side of Cassidy Glacier, to the west of the Quartermain Mountains. Presumably first seen by BrNAE, 1901–04, from nearby Depot Nunatak. Named by US-ACAN in 1992 after Ursula B. Marvin, Smithsonian Astrophysical Laboratory, Cambridge, MA; field party member, Antarctic Search for Meteorites (ANSMET) expedition to Victoria Land, 1978–79 and 1981–82; field work at Seymour Island, 1984–85; member of the Advisory Committee to the Division of Polar Programs, NSF, from 1983.

### Cassidy Glacier

77°46′S 160°09′E / 77.767°S 160.150°E / -77.767; 160.150. A glacier 7 nautical miles (13 km; 8.1 mi) long and 2 nautical miles (3.7 km; 2.3 mi) wide, flowing northeast into upper Taylor Glacier between Depot Nunatak and the northwest end of Quartermain Mountains. The descriptive names "South-West Arm" and "South Arm" were applied to this glacier and to the part of Ferrar Glacier south of Knobhead, respectively, by the BrnAE, 1901-04. Subsequent mapping has shown that the glacier described here is part of the Taylor Glacier system. Named by US-ACAN in 1992 after William A. Cassidy, Department of Geology and Planetary Science, University of Pittsburgh, who in 13 field seasons, 1976–90, led USARP teams in the investigation and collection of Antarctic meteorites from diverse sites through Victoria Land and southward to Lewis Cliff, adjacent to Queen Alexandra Range.

### Fireman Glacier

77°47′S 160°16′E / 77.783°S 160.267°E / -77.783; 160.267. A glacier in the west part of the Quartermain Mountains, flowing northwest into Cassidy Glacier. Named in 1992 by US-ACAN after Edward L. Fireman (d. 1990), physicist, Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, Cambridge, MA; authority on the analysis and dating of extraterrestrial materials and space debris; from 1979 conducted investigations on the dating and composition of Antarctic meteorites and Antarctic ice samples, including deep core ice obtained at Byrd Station.

### Solitary Rocks

77°47′S 161°12′E / 77.783°S 161.200°E / -77.783; 161.200. Mass of rocks immediately northwest of Cavendish Icefalls on the north side of the major bend in Taylor Glacier. The descriptive name was given by the BrNAE, 1901-04.

### Pandora Spire

77°47′S 161°13′E / 77.783°S 161.217°E / -77.783; 161.217. Sharply pointed feature, 1,670 metres (5,480 ft) high, the highest in the Solitary Rocks, on the north side of Taylor Glacier. Named by the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE), 1957-58.

### Cavendish Icefalls

title: Luke Thomas (journalist)

abstract: Luke Thomas is an American combat sport analyst. As of October 2020, he works for CBS Sports. Between 2007 and 2019, Thomas worked as an MMA journalist and radio host.

# Luke Thomas (journalist)

**Luke Thomas** (born August 5, 1979) is an American combat sport analyst. As of October 2020, he works for CBS Sports. Between 2007 and 2019, Thomas worked as an MMA journalist and radio host.

## Early life

Thomas was born in 1979 in the Republic of India to an American foreign service officer father and a Syrian-Armenian mother who lived in Lebanon. Thomas mostly grew up in Washington, D.C., but lived in Marietta, Georgia for two years, graduating from Marietta High School. He graduated from The College of William & Mary. Between 1998 and 2005 he served in *Battery H* of the 3rd Battalion 14th Marines in Richmond, Virginia, reaching the rank of sergeant.

While in college he started training in Judo, and while serving in the military he participated in the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program.

## Career

Thomas has been dedicatedly following mixed martial arts since 2004.

Between February 2006 and May 2007 (inactive between July 2006 and March 2007), Thomas founded and wrote commentary on his MMA dedicated blog *Mad-Squabbles.com*, with his online identity known as *Mad Squabbles*. In March 2007, the MMA website *Fightopinion.com* began promoting his articles. *Fightlinker.com* described the blog as "probably the best blog i've seen pop up in the past six months. Definately \[*sic*\] worth bookmarking and visiting every day." From April 2007, MMA website *UFCmania.com* (acquired by SB Nation in 2009 as *MMAmania.com*) selected *Mad Squabbles* as one of its MMA beat reporters for its official MMA fighter ranking poll.

Between 2008 and late 2010, Thomas was color commentating live broadcast fight cards for the regional MMA promotion *Ultimate Warrior Challenge*.

Between 2008 and 2012, he was host to sports talk radio show *MMA Nation* on WJFK-FM (CBS Radio's *106.7 The Fan*). From 2012 to August 2020, he was the host of *The Luke Thomas Show* on Sirius XM radio (Rush, channel 93).

Between 2007 and 2011, contrary to a common misconception, Thomas was not the founder or co-founder of SB Nation's first MMA sports blog Bloody Elbow (launched February 15, 2007). Founder Nate Wilcox (Kid Nate) recruited Thomas to help run it on May 21, 2007. Thomas eventually became editor-in-chief of *BloodyElbow.com*. It was reviewed as one of the best MMA news & media blogs online. Currently, it is the 5th most popular MMA media & news website worldwide according to Alexa Internet.

From 2011 to 2019, Thomas was an MMA senior editor at SB Nation and senior editor at *MMAFighting.com* (acquired by SB Nation November 2011 from AOL); a 2 million unique users per month website in 2011, and currently the #3 most popular MMA media & news website worldwide according to *Alexa Internet*. Thomas was most notable on *MMAFighting.com* as a charter and regular panelist on *The MMA Beat* web series moderated by MMA journalist Ariel Helwani, and for his weekly webcast *Promotional Malpractice* and podcast *Monday Morning Analyst*.

In late 2019, Thomas was hired by ViacomCBS, initially working for Showtime and later for CBS Sports.

Since then, he has co-hosted a MMA/Boxing podcast called Morning Kombat with Luke Thomas and Brian Campbell. Morning Kombat also does post-fight reaction and analysis for PPVs and major events. Morning Kombat won *Best MMA Programming* 2021 at the World MMA Awards.

### Professional views

Thomas stated he likes MMA fighting because "Struggle and fear tackled by athleticism, technical know-how and innate desires for self-preservation brings out a side in humanity that exists only in the deepest recesses of our being. MMA fighting has no peer when it comes to the demands the sport places on its participants both physically and psychologically. And I love watching that dynamic in action"". But he hates everything else about the MMA world. He thinks many of the individuals in the industry are "utterly detestable". He suspects that "the majority of conversations \[he has\] with members of the fight community are either extended lies or at least contain a lie". Therefore, he tries to keep his direct contact with MMA promotions to a minimum.

He dislikes professional wrestling because "it sucks" and he doesn't like fiction.

He is very irritated by MMA journalists or analysts who are "gigantic fat slobs". According to Thomas "One need not train five days a week to be a competent analyst of MMA, but experiencing the rigors of physical punishment certainly informs your judgment."

Thomas, and other MMA journalists and fans, have criticized the UFC for putting on too many shows and thus diluting the quality of their product. On March 7, 2014; while watching Bellator 111 fight event which he reviewed on Mmafighting.com earlier that day, Thomas tweeted "Dear ALL MMA Promoters: More MMA is not better. No one cares anymore. Better MMA is better. Please fix your product. Thanks in advance.". UFC president Dana White responded with the tweet "Dear whoever the hell u are. Nobody gives a shit what u think 02 is sold out and fans r pumped for 2 nite. Ur opinion=WGAF" (White was referring to March 8, UFC Fight Night 37 in London). When another Twitter member confronted White, tweeting " if nobody gives a shit what \[Thomas\] thinks, then why is he on @ufc countdown shows?" White responded with the tweet "I already said wont make that mistake again". *UFC Countdown* shows are "UFC's documentary series profiling the fighters appearing in upcoming Ultimate Fighting Championship events" also featuring prominent MMA media members point of view.

## Personal life

In January 2014, following the reported suicide of MMA female fighter Cat Zingano's husband, Thomas shared that his mother took her own life when he was 23 years old (2003). Thomas described his loss "a pain that is torturous and inextinguishable".

Thomas's wife is Colombian-born and was raised in Bogotá. They have one daughter together.

## Awards

Thomas was a 2014 *Journalist of the Year* World MMA Awards nominee.

# Ted Roop

**Ted Roop** is a Canadian radio and media personality, and one of the presenters of *Roop, Wix and Meg In The Morning*, which has been broadcasting on *104.1 The Dock (CICZ-FM)* since March 3, 2008. Roop is also Director of Programming for The Dock's parent company, Larche Communications, which has three other broadcasting licenses. Since June 2018, Ted has been off the air following the purchase of the radio stations by BellMedia. Since then he has worked as the Program Director of the classic hit stations in Canada, Bounce FM.

## Childhood and early life

Roop began working as a child actor at the age of eight, appearing in more than 30 television and radio commercials, including Pizza Hut, Wrangler Jeans, and McCain French Fries. He also voiced several radio commercials for companies such as Esso and Big Brothers, and worked on several movies, including *The Last Season*, *Night Friend* and an episode of the television series *Friday The 13th*.

Roop's family moved from the west end of Toronto to the Waterdown area when he was beginning high school. He spent his formative years at Waterdown District High School. It was through a high school co-operative education program that he developed his interest in radio, completing a placement at the Mohawk College Radio Station CIOI-FM in his fourth year of high school.

## Radio career

After graduating High School, Roop began a two-year radio broadcasting program at Fanshawe College in the fall of 1996. He graduated from the program in the spring of 1998 and started working for BEA-VER Communications, on CKSY FM95 CKSY-FM on March 2, 1998. He started as the Swing Announcer at CKSY-FM. At the time, BEA-VER Communications owned and operated CKSY-FM and CFCO, its AM Oldies sister station, from their Chatham, Kent studios, but had an application in progress to the CRTC for a third FM station. When this application was successful, the company opened CKUE-FM in November 1999, with Roop as the Afternoon Drive host, and moving to the morning show in January 2001.

In June 2002, Roop was hired to work as the Afternoon Drive host in Midland, Ontario on CICZ-FM. At the time, CICZ-FM was a country music station, KICX 104 FM. In 2004 Larche Communications opened CIKZ-FM in Kitchener—Waterloo. At that time, the KICX 104 FM Program Director was moved to CIKZ-FM to launch the station, at which point Roop was moved to the Morning Show and given the program director title.

Roop remained Morning Show host/Program Director on KICX 104 FM until March 2008. During his time in that position, he was named the Canadian Country Music Association's Music Director Of The Year in 2007, and won the Canadian Country Music Association's Personality Of The Year Award in 2006 and 2007 with his co-host Carey Moran.

In March 2008, Larche Communications moved its country format to its newly acquired Orillia frequency at CICX-FM, and launched a brand new Classic Rock station on CICZ-FM, now known as 104.1 THE DOCK. Roop said goodbye to his longtime co-host Carey Moran, and moved to Classic Rock, remaining on the 104.1 frequency to launch a new morning show with Meg Whitton and Brian Wicks, both of whom had moved to Midland and decided to stay with Larche Communications after the sale of CIKZ. Shortly after the launch of the Dock, Roop was named Director of Programming for Larche Communications. He now oversees the programming, with the help of his KICX PD's Jack Latimer and Trinette Atkinson, DOCK Midland APD Josh Duncan, on CICZ-FM, CICX-FM, CICS-FM and Don Vail at CJOS-FM in Owen Sound.

# Ted Rogers (comedian)

**Edward George Rodgers** (20 July 1933 – 2 May 2001) was an English comedian and light entertainment host who started his career as a Redcoat entertainer. He was best known for hosting the Yorkshire Television game show *3-2-1* from 1978 to 1988.

## Early life and career

Rogers was born in Kennington, South London, the son of Edward Rodgers, a soap machine operator, and Lily May Rodgers née Cobb, an office cleaner. He went to school in Lambeth. His idol as a youngster was Danny Kaye, and Rogers won a holiday camp talent contest impersonating Kaye as a youngster, but he would later put all showbusiness offers on hold whilst he did his national service in the Royal Air Force.

In the early 1960s, Rogers appeared as a stand up comedian on the radio programme *Billy Cotton Band Show*, alongside singers such as Tom Jones, Cliff Richard and Alma Cogan and comedians Terry Scott and Hugh Lloyd. He went on to host *Sunday Night at the London Palladium* in 1974. Rogers also appeared on the comedy panel game *Jokers Wild*. He was asked by Perry Como to join him on his tour of Britain in 1975 as a comedian after a Royal Variety Performance.

Bing Crosby later invited Rogers to join him on his concerts of 1976 and 1977, to form a double act and sing "Gone Fishin'" with Crosby as a tribute to Louis Armstrong. TV programme: Whilst on tour in 1977, Rogers was asked to film a pilot for a new television game show for Yorkshire Television.

## Gameshow host

### *3-2-1*

Rogers became the presenter of ITV's variety gameshow 3-2-1 in 1978. It ran for just over ten years in a top-rating Saturday night slot. He earned £130,000 a year in the early 1980s from 3-2-1 alone and combined this with a career as a highly paid after-dinner speaker, also making regular cabaret and public appearances.

In March 1986, he was featured on *This Is Your Life*. Rogers was surprised by host Eamonn Andrews in Covent Garden, central London, with guests on the show including Jimmy Edwards and Sacha Distel.

3-2-1 was cancelled in December 1987, when it was still attracting audiences of 12 million and in the Top 20 ratings. Initially, the plan was for the show to carry on with Christmas and one-off specials. There was an Olympics special shown in September 1988, and a Christmas special that year, which was the final ever episode. In April 1996, Rogers told the *Sunday Mirror* that "The Oxbridge lot got control of TV and they didn't really want \[the show\]. It was too downmarket for them. We were still getting 12 million viewers when they took it off after 10 years. These days if a show gets nine million everyone does a lap of honour".

### After *3-2-1*

In 1989, Rogers appeared on the ITV game show *You Bet!* In the early 1990s, Rogers fell on hard times and was declared bankrupt in February 1992, having apparently invested his fortune in a failed business venture, Wyvern Rogers Television. His home at Little Chalfont, Buckinghamshire, was repossessed, and Rogers' production company collapsed with debts of £50,000. He moved from Buckinghamshire to a more modest home in Haslemere, Surrey.

Rogers was a guest on *Celebrity Squares* in January 1993, and in April 1994 he appeared on *Surprise Surprise*.

In 1997–98, Rogers appeared in the touring production of *Danny and Me*, a play about his hero, Danny Kaye, which often sold out. Towards the end of the decade, Challenge TV began repeating episodes of 3-2-1. In 2000, Rogers was seen during the sponsor credits for the ITV quiz *Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?* – sitting in a dressing room with 3-2-1 mascot Dusty Bin and bemoaning the new show's success.

In 1999 and 2000, Rogers made several commercials for fast food chain McDonald's. On 10 November 2000, Rogers appeared as a guest on *TFI Friday*. His final television appearance, which was screened at the end of January 2001, saw him playing the host of a downmarket quiz show in the Series 13 episode *Let's Get Quizzical* of the BBC children's sitcom *ChuckleVision*. Had he lived, he would have worked with his old friend Jackie Mason on a Vaudeville-type act in America which was due to start in October 2001.

## Personal life and death

Rogers was married twice. He married his childhood sweetheart Marge, in 1953, with whom he had two daughters. In 1979, he married Marion, with whom he had a daughter and a son.

On 2 May 2001, Rogers died after emergency open-heart surgery to repair a heart valve at St Thomas' Hospital in London, aged 67. He is buried at St Michael and All Angels Church, Sunninghill, in Berkshire.

title: Equilateral triathlon

abstract: An equilateral triathlon is a triathlon in which each leg would take an approximately equal time. These triathlons were proposed by Wainer and De Veaux (1994) to redress the bias in favour of cycling over running and particularly over swimming in standard triathlons.

title: Equilibrant force

abstract:
In mechanics, an equilibrant force is a force which brings a body into mechanical equilibrium. According to Newton's second law, a body has zero acceleration when the vector sum of all the forces acting upon it is zero:
  - ∑ F = m a ; ∑ F = 0     ⇒     a = 0  ;\quad \sum \mathbf {F} =0\ \ \Rightarrow \ \ \mathbf {a} =0} Therefore, an equilibrant force is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the resultant of all the other forces acting on a body. The term has been attested since the late 19th century.

# Equilibrant force

In mechanics, an **equilibrant force** is a force which brings a body into mechanical equilibrium. According to Newton's second law, a body has zero acceleration when the vector sum of all the forces acting upon it is zero:

$$\sum \mathbf {F} =m\mathbf {a} ;\quad \sum \mathbf {F} =0\ \ \Rightarrow \ \ \mathbf {a} =0$$

Therefore, an equilibrant force is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the resultant of all the other forces acting on a body. The term has been attested since the late 19th century.

## Example

Suppose that two known forces, which are going to represented as vectors, **A** and **B** are pushing an object and an unknown equilibrant force, **C**, is acting to maintain that object in a fixed position. Force **A** points to the west and has a magnitude of 10  and is represented by the vector \<-10, 0\>N. Force **B** points to the south and has a magnitude of 8.0 N and is represented by the vector \<0, -8\>N. Since these forces are vectors, they can be added by using the parallelogram rule or vector addition. This addition will look like **A** \+ **B** = \<-10, 0\>N + \<0, -8\>N = \<-10, -8\>N which is the vector representation of the resultant force. By the Pythagorean theorem, the magnitude of the resultant force is \[(-10)2 \+ (-8)2\]1/2 ≈ 12.8 N, which is also the magnitude of the equilibrant force. The angle of the equilibrant force can be found by trigonometry to be approximately 51 degrees north of east. Because the angle of the equilibrant force is opposite of the resultant force, if 180 degrees are added or subtracted to the resultant force's angle, the equilibrant force's angle will be known. Multiplying the resultant force vector by a -1 will give the correct equilibrant force vector: \<-10, -8\>N x (-1) = \<10, 8\>N = **C**.

abstract: Eric I, Duke of Mecklenburg was the eldest son of Albert, King of Sweden and heir to the throne of Sweden. Eric played a significant role in his father's attempts to secure and reclaim the Swedish throne. Eric and Albert were defeated in battle of Åsle in 1389 and imprisoned by the Danish Queen Margaret I of Denmark. They were released in 1395 against a ransom guaranteed by the Hanseatic league. Albert tried to regain the Swedish crown by sending Eric to conquer Gotland in 1396. Eric briefly became the ruler of Gotland. Eric died in 1397, and his death led to the loss of Gotland from Mecklenburg to pirates, who were later conquered by the Teutonic Order.

# Eric I, Duke of Mecklenburg

**Eric I, Duke of Mecklenburg** (after 1359, probably in 1365  26 July 1397) was the eldest son of Albert, King of Sweden and heir to the throne of Sweden. Eric played a significant role in his father's attempts to secure and reclaim the Swedish throne. Eric and Albert were defeated in battle of Åsle in 1389 and imprisoned by the Danish Queen Margaret I of Denmark. They were released in 1395 against a ransom guaranteed by the Hanseatic league.

Albert tried to regain the Swedish crown by sending Eric to conquer Gotland in 1396. Eric briefly became the ruler of Gotland. Eric died in 1397, and his death led to the loss of Gotland from Mecklenburg to pirates, who were later conquered by the Teutonic Order.

## Early life

Eric was the eldest son of Albert, King of Sweden (reigned 1364–1389) and Queen Richardis, a daughter of Count Otto I of Schwerin. The date and place of their marriage are unknown, but it most likely took place in Sweden after 1364. This is inferred from a contemporary genealogy that records Albert's betrothal and succession to the throne in 1364 but does not mention the marriage, suggesting it had not yet occurred at that time. Eric was likely born in Sweden, where he also spent his childhood and youth.

He may have been named after his great-grandfather, Duke Eric Magnusson. The name Eric was common among Swedish kings, suggesting that he was intended to follow in his father's footsteps and inherit the Swedish throne.

## Preparations for war

Eric's father, Albert, attempted to consolidate his position as King of Sweden in 1386. Contemporary sources first mention Eric as his father's companion during a trip to Mecklenburg in 138586. In late 1386 or early 1387, Albert sent Eric on a mission to the Teutonic State, during which Eric also spent some time in Danzig. While Albert remained in Mecklenburg to gather troops, Eric returned to Sweden, where he, along with his cousin Duke John IV of Mecklenburg, governed in his father's absence.

## Imprisonment

In 1389 Queen Margaret I of Denmark defeated Albert in the battle of Åsle, on the plains of Falköping in Västergötland. Albert and Eric were captured after the battle. The castles in Sweden surrendered to Margaret, who now became the ruler of the three Scandinavian kingdoms. In Sweden, only Stockholm remained in the hands of the Mecklenburgs, but even it was besieged by Margaret's troops.

To support Stockholm from the sea, the dukes of Mecklenburg employed a company of privateers, who later known as *Vitalienbrüder*, 'Victual brothers'. In 1391, the Mecklenburgs conquered Bornholm and Visby. The pirates obtained bases in Gotland and Finland and disrupted trade in the Baltic Sea. The Hansa started negotiations with Margaret in order restore their commercial rights in Baltic. In 1395, Albert and Eric were released against a large ransom after three years of negotiations involving Hinrich Westhof and Johann Niebur, the mayors of Lübeck. Stockholm was given as a pledge to the Hanseatic cities that guaranteed the ransom. If the ransom was not paid within three years, Stockholm would be given to Margaret.

After his release, Albert returned to Mecklenburg with his son and resumed his duties as the duke. On February 10-15 in 1396, a double wedding took place in Schwerin. Albert married the twice widowed Agnes of Brunswick-Lüneburg and Eric married Sophie, the daughter of Duke Bogislaw VI of Pomerania-Wolgast. Eric's and Sophie's marriage produced no children.

## Master of Gotland

Albert could not raise the money for the ransom and attempted to reconquer his kingdom. In 1396, he tasked Eric with the reconquest of Gotland. In the summer or fall of 1396, Eric landed on the island with an army and began to build fortifications. Sven Sture had also arrived to the island with Danish troops. In the spring of 1397, with the help of Victual Brothers, Eric defeated Sven Sture, who was forced to change sides and swear allegiance to Albert III. After Sven Sture's defeat, Eric was the master of Gotland. Due to his association with the Victual Brothers and Sven Sture's men, he is sometimes portrayed as a pirate chieftain.

In June 1397 Eric, accompanied by Sven Sture's men, launched a failed surprise attack against Stockholm, now controlled by the Hanseatic league. Around the same time, the kingdoms of Denmark, Norway and Sweden were united into the Kalmar Union, which cemented the position of Queen Margaret and crushed Mecklenburg's hopes of regaining the Swedish crown.

## Death and burial

Duke Eric died suddenly of some disease in 1397 at his fortress called Landeskrone or Klinteholm, located close to the port of Klintehamn, south of Visby in Gotland. After Eric's death, the dukes of Mecklenburg lost control of the island to the pirates, and had to withdraw from the island in April 1398 with Eric's widow Sophie and 400 men. The fortress of Landeskrona was destroyed in 1398 when the Teutonic Order and the leading Prussian cities conquered the island to put an end to piracy.

Eric was buried in St. Mary's Church, also known as Visby Cathedral, where part of his original tomb is on display. Notably, he was not buried in a prestigious place in the choir of the church. According to German historian Nikolaus Marschalk (d. 1525) this was because he died of plague. The reliability Marschalk's claim is questionable, as there is no known outbreak of plague from that time.

# Luna Park, Cairo

The **Cairo Luna Park** was a trolley park in Heliopolis, Egypt. Open from 1911 to the beginning of 1915, the Cairo Luna Park was the first Western-style amusement park in Africa and the first in the Middle East. On 19 January 1915, buildings and grounds were converted into an auxiliary hospital at Luna Park for World War I; the hospital was closed on 10 July 1916.

## The amusement park

Heliopolis, designed to be an "oasis" of Cairo, was built in the first decade of the 20th century. After a 1907 stock market crash, the city's developers contracted with the Egyptian government to build housing for government workers; in addition, entertainment venues for the new arrivals were also planned, turning Heliopolis into Egypt's first entertainment zone. In addition to a hippodrome, polo field, cricket field, aerodrome, golf course, restaurants, and a new tram from Cairo, a new amusement park \- Luna Park, the first amusement park in Africa and the first in the Middle East \- was built around 1910. Opened to the public for the first time on 16 June 1911, Luna Park offered mechanical rides (including a switchback roller coaster), a midway, a skating rink, and restaurants.

## The auxiliary hospital for convalescent patients

The onset of World War I in late 1914 led to the formation of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZACS) under General William Birdwood in Egypt. One of its first acts is the establishment of No. 1 Australian General Hospital in the Heliopolis Palace Hotel just outside Luna Park by 19 January 1915. Demand for bedspace increased to the point that the ANZACS expanded the medical facilities, first to Luna Park's ice skating rink by establishing an auxiliary branch of No. 1 AGH; by 28 April 1915, over 500 beds filled the rink, and further accommodations were provided in makeshift-fashion in the haunted house, the round about, the scenic railroad, and the pavilion; the ticket office was modified to contain an operating theatre. By middle of May 1915, the hospital was treating casualties from Gallipoli; at this point, Luna Park contained over 1200 beds, many constructed of bamboo and palm wood, each bed with its own "customer". No. 1 AGH created additional auxiliary branches of its hospital nearby. By August 1915, the number of wounded at Luna Park reached 1400. Ultimately, this auxiliary branch of 1AGH closed on 10 July 1916, when the main hospital moved to France. This auxiliary should not be confused with the real No. 1 Australian Auxiliary Hospital which opened at Harefield, England in March 1915.

## After World War I

Roxy Square now occupies the former site of Luna Park. While many of the buildings that rimmed the park remain, no traces of the once-popular tourist attraction exist.

# Eremocarya

***Eremocarya*** is a genus of flowering plants in the family Boraginaceae. There are two species and its native range extends through the western United States and Texas to northwestern Mexico. It is part of subtribe of *Amsinckiinae*.

It was once thought to be an either a subgenus or synonym of *Cryptantha* Lehm. ex G. Don, before being segregated out due to molecular phylogenetic analysis.

## Description

A profusely branching annual herb with very slender, ascending, nearly leafless stems and the leaves are arranged in a basal rosette. The roots and the lower parts of the stems are often stained with a red, or purple hue. The flowers in March–June, are dense racemes, spiciform (spike-shaped) with evenly spaced, leafy-bracteate beneath each flower. The calyx is small and divided into 5 sections from the base. It has a small white corolla. It has 4 ovules and 4 nutlets (which appear after flowering), which are similar in size and shape. The gynobase (a short conical or flat elevation of the receptacle of a flower, bearing the gynoecium) is thin and columnar, they are nearly similar (in form) to the wide style, which is dilated and wider that the stigma when in fruit.

## Taxonomy

The Latin specific epithet *Eremocarya* is derived from "Eremos" which is Greek for "desert" or "lonely" and "caryum" is Greek for "nut".

It was first published by Edward Lee Greene in Pittonia vol.1 on page 58 in 1887.

Then in 1924, Ivan M. Johnston wrote that the genus of *Oreocarya* could be combined with *Cryptantha*. Edwin Blake Payson in 1927 (A Monograph of the section *Oreocarya* of *Cryptantha*, Ann. Mo. Bot. Gard. 14:211-358) agreed with Johnston and he had four sections in *Cryptantha*: *Eucryptantha* (= *Cryptantha*), *Geocarya*, *Krynitzkia* (inclusive of *Eremocarya*, *Greeneocharis*, and *Johnstonella*), and *Oreocarya*. Larry Higgins (1971), another expert on the perennial taxa, published a revised monograph of *Oreocarya*, and agreed with Johnston and Payson on the inclusion of *Oreocarya* within *Cryptantha*, but also elevating the four sections of Johnston (1927) and Payson (1927) to subgenera. Although they were sometimes still called synonyms of *Cryptantha*.

In 2012, the phylogenetic relationship of members of the genus *Cryptantha* was carried out, based on dna sequencing analyses, it was then proposed that the resurrection of the following genera *Eremocarya*, *Greeneocharis*, *Johnstonella*, and also *Oreocarya*.

## Species

2 species are accepted.

In 2016, a large flowered version of *Eremocarya micrantha* was found and published as *E. micrantha* var. *pseudolepida*.

## Distribution

***The Woman's Signal*** was a weekly British feminist magazine published by Marshall & Son, London, from 4 January 1894 to 23 March 1899. It was edited by Lady Henry Somerset, Annie Holdsworth and Florence Fenwick-Miller. Although primarily a temperance paper, it dealt with several feminist issues including fair wages. It began life as *The Women's Penny Paper* (27 October 1888 – 27 December 1890), edited by Helena B Temple (Henrietta Müller), later becoming *The Woman’s Herald* (3 January 1891 – 28 December 1893). In 1892, Mrs Frank Morrison became editor, followed by Christina Bremner, then by Lady Henry Somerset in 1893. It was bought out by Lady Henry and renamed *The Woman's Signal*.

title: Geske

abstract:
Geske, also known as Horgeske was the central figure of a witch trial in Stockholm. Her trial belonged to the first of the witch trials in Sweden in which the Sabbath of Satan in Blockula, the Devils pact and the Devil's mark were mentioned. Geske was a resident in Stockholm. She was reportedly of Danish origin, and her sobriquet Horgeske stems from the Swedish word "Hora" ('Whore') or "Hor" ('Fornication'), signifying that she was a prostitute. In September 1597, Geske was prosecuted on charges of sorcery alongside another woman by the name Brita Åkesdotter. Geske was accused to have deprived a number of people of "power and courage" by the use of magic. A widow and her son accused her of having blackmailed them to give her "a golden ring, money and a piece of gold", but still continued to harass them. Her accomplice Brita were accused of having caused illness on the members of a household by having placed magical objects, consistent of magical butter and the foot of a roster in that house. Both of them denied the charges. During the trial, a woman by the name Karin made a testimony which pointed out both Geske and Brita as guilty. Karin claimed herself to be a witch, who recently had sexual intercourse with Satan, as had many other women in the capital. She explained that Geske and Brita were among those women, that she had recently seen them participate in the black Sabbath of Satan in Blockula, where she had seen Brita have sex with the Devil. Karin claimed that Geske had the mark of Satan in her nose, and that if the court made a physical examination of Brita, they would find the mark of Satan on her as well. Upon the testimony of Karin, the witch trial against Geske grew until it implicated six women. Reportedly, the women had manufactured magical objects of bone and other parts from humans and animals in order to harm their neighbors through magic, "and many other such evils, which was hidden under the floor of her house". However, the trial never developed into a mass witch trial. The court remained skeptical to the testimony of Karin: "she is not of the best kind; she was also of the kind who rides to Blockula and it is not long since she had carnal knowledge of the Devil. But she was cautioned to confess the truth and not bring forth lies".
The court did not take the testimony of Karin seriously and chose to dismiss it. Geske is last mentioned in prison. It is unknown whether she or Brita was prosecuted further, but likely, they were not. The case took place in a period in Swedish history which signified a change in the view of magic. During the Middle Ages, magic was regarded as a relatively harmless superstition in Sweden and prosecuted only if it caused someone's death. Otherwise, the punishment was normally whipping or similar. The late 16th century signified a change, as sorcery were to become associated with Satan and severely prosecuted regardless of use, and the 1590s saw the first series of witch trials in Sweden in which pacts with Satan and visits at Blockula became common. The Swedish witch trials were, however, still managed in accordance with the old, tolerant laws, and the punishments were normally mild. The trial against Geske belonged to these. It was not until the reform witch law of 1608 that witch trials in Sweden were conducted in the manner of the continent, were all magic practices were associated with the Devil and resulted in executions regardless of how the magic had been used.

title: Parapsephurus

abstract: Parapsephurus is an extinct genus of paddlefish in the family Polyodontidae. Currently the only known species in this genus is the type species, Parapsephurus willybemisi. P. willybemisi is known a nearly complete specimen from the Tanis locality of the Hell Creek Formation in North Dakota, USA, which dates to the late Maastrichtian stage of the Late Cretaceous, approximately 66 million years ago. The name Parapsephurus refers to the similarities between the short gill arches of this genus and the more recently extinct paddlefish Psephurus, also known as the Chinese paddlefish. The type species, P. willybemisi, is named in honor of William E. Bemis, a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology and curator of fishes at Cornell University, who has conducted extensive research on paddlefish. The rostrum of the holotype specimen is around 35 centimetres (14 in) in length, with a total body length of around 160.5 centimetres (5.27 ft). The species is placed in the clade Polyodonti, which includes all polyodontids other than the most primitive genus Protopsephurus. Like Psephurus and other extinct paddlefish genera, the genus was likely piscivorous, feeding on fish, rather than planktivorous like Polyodon.
