# Ernst August Wagner

**Ernst August Wagner** (22 September 1874  27 April 1938) was a German teacher with depression who became a mass murderer when on 4 September 1913 he killed his wife and four children by stabbing in Degerloch. He subsequently drove to Mühlhausen an der Enz where he set several fires and shot 20 people, of whom at least nine died, before he was beaten unconscious by furious villagers and left for dead.

He was the first person in Württemberg to be found not guilty by reason of insanity after several psychiatric assessments had diagnosed him with paranoia. He was brought to an asylum in Winnenthal, where he wrote several plays and dramas. He died there of tuberculosis in 1938.

## Early life and education

Ernst August Wagner was born on 22 September 1874 in Eglosheim near Ludwigsburg as the ninth of ten children, as well as one half-brother and half-sister. Most of his siblings died early, so that in 1913 only two sisters and one brother remained. After his father, a poor peasant with drinking problems, died one day before Ernst Wagner's second birthday, the indebted family was forced to sell their farm. His mother tried to make a living by running a small shop; she soon remarried, but due to her many affairs, the marriage ended in divorce when Ernst was seven years old.

Ernst Wagner, who was known as the "widow's boy" in the village, had depression and suicidal thoughts; he was quite intelligent and did well enough at school to earn a public stipend. In this way, despite his poverty, he was able to study and become a teacher.

## Career

After his qualifying exam, he worked as an auxiliary teacher at several schools in Württemberg from 1894 to 1901, though in April 1900 he was suspended for six months because of "severe nervousness and irritability". He then went to Switzerland for two months, where he tried to sell some of his poems to newspapers.

In July 1901, Wagner was assigned a teaching position in Mühlhausen an der Enz, where he stayed until 1902. Sometime in the summer of 1901, while drunk, he sodomized an animal. He then became increasingly wary and suspicious that others might be aware of his deed, and began to see signs and hints that the villagers of Mühlhausen were mocking him for this act of bestiality. For this reason, he bought a revolver, which he always carried with him from that point on so that he could evade a potential arrest.

That same year, Wagner began an affair with Anna Friedericke Schlecht, the daughter of a local innkeeper. He hated the Schlecht family, thinking that his future father-in-law despised him, and tried to avoid marrying Anna, but marriage became a foregone conclusion when she became pregnant by him and gave birth to a daughter, Klara, in the spring of 1902.

In December 1902, Wagner's mother, to whom he felt deeply attached, died. He took his final examination as a teacher and was transferred to Radelstetten, a poor and isolated village. Although he was embittered to be ordered to such a place, it also temporarily eased his feelings of constant persecution, even though the incident of sodomy continued to haunt him. On December 29, 1903, he and Anna Schlecht married in Ludwigsburg, mostly due to pressure from outside, as their daughter Klara was already ten months old. However, he neither loved his wife nor feigned love, and while he treated her kindly, he considered her more of a servant, because of her intellectual inferiority.

In the summer of 1904, he once again went to Switzerland, trying twice to commit suicide there, once by drowning himself and by jumping off a bridge, though both attempts failed, because he was, according to his own words, *too weak*. In the following years, his wife bore four more children, concluding in July 1909 with Rudolph Alfred. Wagner was said to have been unhappy about the births of his children and complained about the financial stress of feeding his family; he was seemingly indifferent to the interruption of his birthday in 1909 by infant Rudolph's death.

Some time in 1906 or 1907, thinking that the people from Mühlhausen had passed on their knowledge about his crime, the feelings of being ridiculed and watched by others returned, and as a consequence he began to make plans to take revenge on those whom he deemed to be the cause of his misery, the villagers, and especially the men, of Mühlhausen. In the autumn of 1907, he bought the first Mauser pistol, the other one following in 1909 and, with his bicycle, which he loved more than anyone or anything else, he made extensive journeys through the surrounding area and sharpened his shooting skills in remote forests.

Between 1909 and 1911 he made several requests to be transferred to another school, which was finally granted, so that on 1 May 1912 he began his work at a school in Degerloch, a suburb of Stuttgart. At that time he also decided to go ahead with his plan to avenge the derision he had to endure, as even at his new workplace he saw hints of people "knowing", and initially chose the spring of 1913 to put it into practice, but finally determined the last days of the summer holidays for his revenge. In the days leading to the murders he wrote several letters to explain his deed.

### Family murders

Wagner began his killing spree on 4 September 1913 at about 5 a.m., when he knocked his sleeping wife unconscious by hitting her on the head with a blackjack, before stabbing her numerous times in her throat and chest with a dagger, cutting her carotid arteries and hitting her heart and lungs. Afterwards he successively entered the bedrooms of his two sons, Robert and Richard, and his daughters, Klara and Elsa, and stabbed each of them in their throat and chest. Wagner initially claimed that he had also hit his children with the blackjack, though later he was uncertain of this. All of his victims died of massive haemorrhaging.

After covering his family members' bodies with blankets, Wagner got out of his blood-soaked nightshirt and washed himself, before packing a bag with three guns (two Mauser C96 and a small revolver), 500 rounds of ammunition, a black veil from his wife and a belt. He subsequently left his home, leaving a note at his own door that the family was jaunting to Ludwigsburg, as well as another one at the door of Mrs Stepper, the proprietor of the house he was living in, ordering milk and leaving behind 35 pfennige as payment.

With his cycle he then rode towards Stuttgart and took a train to Ludwigsburg, where he bought a backpack, before making his way to his brother's home in Eglosheim, arriving there at about 11 a.m.

As his brother was not at home, Wagner chatted a while with his wife, telling her he wanted to spend the night at their home after fetching his children from Mühlhausen, and, as it could get late, the house should stay accessible to him during the night. In an unobserved moment he hid 228 rounds in a haystack in the garden. Wagner, accompanied by his nephew and niece, walked to the next train station, where he took a train to Bietigheim at about 1 p.m. From there he took off towards Großsachsenheim, where he mailed letters to several people, among them some of his relatives (one of them, addressed to his sister, simply reading "Take poison! Ernst" (*Nimm Gift! Ernst*)) and theologist and philosopher Christoph Schrempf, as well as a newspaper. Subsequently, he returned to Bietigheim, where he got his bicycle checked by a mechanic and mailed two copies of his autobiography, one again to Christoph Schrempf. At about 7 p.m. he left for Mühlhausen an der Enz.

### Shooting spree

Wagner reached the hills near Mühlhausen at about 11 p.m., where he girdled himself with the belt, put a cap on his head and took the two Mauser C96s, as well as a handbag containing ammunition, the black veil and a file. His bicycle and the small revolver were later found hidden in a corn field. Next Wagner set out to cut the telephone lines to the village, but as the poles looked too high to him and due to heavy rain that had set in by that time, he dropped that part of his plan and immediately went into Mühlhausen, where he set fire to four barns. The lower part of his face hidden with the veil he began walking through the streets, shooting at any male person that crossed his path. Wagner later claimed that his female victims were accidentally hit.

In total he spent about 80 rounds and shot 20 people, instantly killing eight of them, as well as two animals, and several buildings burned to the ground, before the villagers, with help of the military, managed to extinguish the fires. A ninth person, Jakob Knötzele, was mortally wounded and died a few hours after the shooting had ended. At one point Wagner forgot to reload his weapons and thus three men were able to strike him down with hoes and sabres. He suffered several wounds in his face and right hand, and his left hand was smashed and nearly cut off. Knocked unconscious, he was disarmed and left for dead, but at 2 a.m. a police officer found him lying on the street, still breathing. When he regained consciousness, Wagner immediately confessed to killing his family, and stated that he would have committed suicide in the end, but as this was now impossible, he would appreciate if he'd be sentenced to death and decapitated.

Finally, in the evening of 5 September 1913, Wagner, who uttered concerns that he might get ill if he'd stay too long in Mühlhausen, was brought to a hospital in Vaihingen, where his left forearm was amputated and his other wounds treated.

### Victims

## Later life

He was the first person in Württemberg to be found not guilty by reason of insanity after several psychiatric assessments diagnosed him with delusions of paranoia. He was brought to an asylum in Winnenthal, where he wrote several plays and dramas and lived for another 25 years. He died there of tuberculosis in 1938.

These were the first such elections in the newly founded Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic, and were won by Igor Smirnov, one of the country's founders. Smirnov faced two opponents: Grigore Mărăcuţă and Grigoriy Blagodarniy. Mărăcuţă would become an ally of Smirnov and was speaker of the Supreme Council until 2005. According to an article by the ethnic Russian researcher from Moldova Alla Skvortsova from 2002, "polls and elections in the PMR may to some extent have been rigged".

## #29 Leaks

In December 2019, Distributed Denial of Secrets (DDoSecrets) published "#29 Leaks" in partnership with the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project and more than 20 outlets in 18 countries.

The 450 gigabyte leak included emails, documents, faxes, and recordings of phone calls. Investigations revealed the firm ran a web of companies registered in Hong Kong, Cyprus, the British Virgin Islands and Pakistan, helped clients avoid anti-money laundering rules and had created banks in The Gambia in an attempt to create a tax haven. According to The Times, there was no evidence that Formations House did anything illegal but their investigation highlighted worrying vulnerabilities in the UK's defences against money laundering".

The release was compared to both the Panama Papers and the Paradise Papers. Belgian tax authorities initiated an investigation based on data from this leak and from the Cayman National Bank and Trust leak published by DDoSecrets the prior month. Politicians in Sweden and the UK, including anti-corruption chief John Penrose said the leak showed the need for reforms on company creation and registration.


abstract: The 1963 Virginia Tech Gobblers football team represented the Virginia Polytechnic Institute—now known as Virginia Tech—as a member of the Southern Conference (SoCon) during the 1963 NCAA University Division football season. Led by third-year head coach Jerry Claiborne, the Gobblers compiled an overall record of 8–2 with a mark of 5–0 in conference play, winning the SoCon title. It was the program's only conference championship during its time as a member of the SoCon, which ran from 1922 to 1964. Bob Schweickert, the team's dual-threat quarterback, passed for 687 yards and six touchdowns, and ran for 839 yards and scored seven TD's. Sonny Utz was the team's scoring leader, rushing for 567 yards and scoring 10 touchdowns. Schweickert was named to the third-team of the 1963 College Football All-America Team by the Associated Press. He was also honored as the Southern Conference Player of the Year as voted by the media. The media did not vote for an all Southern Conference team, but did vote on an all-star team selected from the five Division I teams that played in the commonwealth of Virginia at the time. Schweickert was joined on the first time by Utz, end Jake Adams, and guard Newt Green. The second team included tackle Gene Breen and center Burton Mack Rodgers. Tommy Marvin made the honorable mention team at end. Tech was never ranked in national polls, losing its first game of the year to Kentucky, which ended the year 3–6–1. The team's three non-conference wins came against ACC foes Virginia (2–7–1), Florida State (4–5–1), and Wake Forest (1–9). Tech's other loss came late in the year against NC State, which was the only non-conference opponent that had a winning record (8–3).

## Game summaries

### Virginia

Tech scored 10 first quarter points in the annual Harvest Bowl in Roanoke, and hung on for a 10-0 shutout. Sonny Utz scored the only touchdown on a two-yard carry following a fumbled punt that put the Gobblers on the Cavalier's doorstep. Dickie Cranwell booted a 40-yard field goal for the other Tech points. UVA had two chances to score inside the Tech 15 in the second half, but the defense held on both occasions. Bob Schweickert ran 63 yards on 16 carries and had 91 passing yards on a 7-14 day.

### West Virginia

Virginia Tech perfectly executed an on-side kick on the game's opening kickoff and never looked back in a 28-3 rout of West Virginia. The game, played in Morgantown, was essentially a semi-final for the Southern Conference championship, as the Mountaineers and Gobblers both entered the game with an undefeated league record. Bob Schweickert was 13 of 16 through the air amassing 114 yards, and ran 43 yards on 13 carriers. He threw a seven yard touchdown pass to Jake Adams. Sonny Utz had two one-yard TD's and Bobby Owens picked up a Tech fumble at the WVU one and took it in for the final score of the day. The defense was superb in bending without a break. The Gobblers "D" gave up only three points even though the Mountaineers reached the 30, 1, 9, 18, 6 and 5 five yard lines.

### VMI

A capacity crowd of 27,750 filled Victory Stadium in Roanoke for the annual Thanksgiving Day contest between VMI and Virginia Tech, this time for the Southern Conference championship. VMI came into the game on a 12-game unbeaten conference streak and was attempting to defend its conference championship from the previous year. It had won four of the previous six league crowns (in 1957, 1959, 1960, and 1962). VMI had been tied twice during the year and entered the game with a 3-0-2 record. The Gobblers were 4-0 and had defeated third-place West Virginia, so only the two old rivals could end the season with an undefeated league mark.

With the score tied 14-14 early in the third period, VMI drove 68 yards to inches of the Tech end zone. Sonny Utz and Tommy Hawkins, members of the Tech offensive backfield playing both ways, made a joint tackle on fourth down inside the one to keep the score knotted. The stingy VMI defense held, and put the Gobblers into a punting situation. Tech's Bob's Schweickert, quarterback and punter, booted a 58-yarder to flip the field. Utz recovered a VMI fumble two players later, and Schweickert took the next snap himself, running 41-yards to the Keydet seven. The following play, he passed to Jake Edwards to give the team its first lead of the day. Less than three minutes later, Schweickert, returned a punt for the first time in his career, spectacularly scoring on an 82-yard jaunt to put Tech up by two scores. Tech made it a 35-14 lead after Utz ran three yards to capitalize on an interception in VMI territory. VMI blocked a Tech punt into the endzone, but failed to capitalize on the two-point conversion, to make the final 35-20.

Both of Tech's first half scores came by Tommy Walker. He caught a Schweickert pass for a 34-yard touchdown to bring the score to make it a 7-7 tie, and then set a school record with a 99-yard kickoff return to make it 14-14 at halftime. Walker was married the following day.

The offensive statistics, ones that don't count punt or kickoff return, were all in favor of VMI. The Keydets had 22 first downs to six for Tech, and outgained the Gobblers 417 to 176.

title: 2005–06 Quaid-e-Azam Trophy

abstract: The 2005–06 Quaid-e-Azam Trophy was one of three first-class domestic cricket competitions that were held in Pakistan during the 2005–06 season. The Quaid-e-Azam Trophy was contested by thirteen teams representing regional associations; it was followed in the schedule by the Patron's Trophy Grade-I, contested by ten departmental teams, and the revived Pentangular Trophy, involving the top teams from each competition, later in the season. There were significant changes from the previous season as the Pakistan Cricket Board reorganised the competition into two divisions, with seven teams in the top "Gold League" and six teams in the second "Silver League"; matches in both leagues were accorded first-class status. Each division was played in a round-robin of 4-day matches, with a final played over 5 days between the top two teams to determine the winner. The winner of the Gold League final received the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, and the winner of the Silver League final gained promotion to the Gold league for the following season, with the last placed team in the Gold League being relegated to the Silver League. Sialkot won the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy for the first time, after they beat Faisalabad by an innings and 44 runs in the Gold League final. Karachi Harbour won the Silver League final to earn promotion, and Multan were relegated from the top division.

# 2005–06 Quaid-e-Azam Trophy

The **2005–06 Quaid-e-Azam Trophy** was one of three first-class domestic cricket competitions that were held in Pakistan during the 2005–06 season. The Quaid-e-Azam Trophy was contested by thirteen teams representing regional associations; it was followed in the schedule by the Patron's Trophy Grade-I, contested by ten departmental teams, and the revived Pentangular Trophy, involving the top teams from each competition, later in the season.

There were significant changes from the previous season as the Pakistan Cricket Board reorganised the competition into two divisions, with seven teams in the top "Gold League" and six teams in the second "Silver League"; matches in both leagues were accorded first-class status. Each division was played in a round-robin of 4-day matches, with a final played over 5 days between the top two teams to determine the winner. The winner of the Gold League final received the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, and the winner of the Silver League final gained promotion to the Gold league for the following season, with the last placed team in the Gold League being relegated to the Silver League.

Sialkot won the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy for the first time, after they beat Faisalabad by an innings and 44 runs in the Gold League final. Karachi Harbour won the Silver League final to earn promotion, and Multan were relegated from the top division.

## Group stage

The top two teams in the round-robin group stage (highlighted) advanced to the finals.

Position determined by total points, most matches won, fewest matches lost, followed by adjusted net run rate (matches with no result, i.e. those where both teams did not complete their first innings, were disregarded); matches finishing in a draw were decided on first innings scores, with points awarded as follows: * Win = 9 points
* Win having trailed on first innings = 6 points
* Draw having led on first innings = 3 points
* Loss, draw having trailed on first innings, or draw with no result based on the first innings = 0 points

## Finals

### Silver League final

* Karachi Harbour won the toss and elected to field.

### Gold League final

* Sialkot won the toss and elected to field.

**Eunice Xash-wee-tes-na Henry Bommelyn** (February 6, 1927 – April 23, 2012) was an American Tolowa cultural advocate, Tolowa language proponent, and tribal historian. Bommelyn was the last living person to speak Tolowa as a native first language; Bommelyn led the effort to revive fluency and teach the language. She uncovered and recorded the genealogy of the Tolowa from the present to the 1790s. Her genealogical records are used to determine the membership and enrollment of the Smith River Rancheria, the federally recognized tribe of Tolowa people in Del Norte County, California. Bommelyn was the mother of Loren Bommelyn, a ceremonial leader and basket weaver.

## Early life

Bommelyn was born **Eunice Henry** on February 6, 1927, in the village of Nii~-lii~-chvn-dvn, located on South Bank Road along Smith River in Del Norte County, California. She was the youngest of nine children born to Billie Henry and Alice Charley Henry. Her maternal grandparents were Westbrook and Delilah Charley and her paternal grandparents were Ik-fu-yu-wan and Jane Henry. Her mother, Alice Henry, required that she attend high school. In 1947, she became the first of her nine siblings to complete high school upon her graduation from Del Norte High School in Crescent City, California. She found a job within the local lily bulb farming industry after high school. There she met her future husband, James Bommelyn, who had moved to Del Norte from Trinity County, California, to find work. James Bommelyn reportedly jumped on her truck and refused to leave until she agreed to go on a date. The couple married in 1950 and had four children.

## Preservation of Tolowa heritage

Eunice Bommelyn joined the Inter-Tribal Council of California (ITCC). She was highly active in the preservation of Tolowa customs and language. She reintroduced the Nee-dash dance, which had been outlawed in 1923 along with other Tolowa indigenous religious ceremonies. The Nee-dash dance is now taught to Tolowa children. Bommelyn purchased the Jane Hostatlas allotment along the Smith River, which is still used for Tolowa ceremonies as of 2012. She taught Tolowa language classes. Bommelyn also handmade the only fishing nets which are still utilized by the Smith River Rancheria.

Bommelyn publicly opposed the Indian termination policy, a federal policy which advocated the assimilation of Native Americans and Native American tribes into mainstream society while eliminating traditional customs. A tribal historian and genealogist, Bommelyn traced the genealogy of the Tolowa as far back as the 1790s. Her genealogy research led to the end of a Tolowa taboo which had traditionally prohibited speaking a deceased person's name. Her genealogical records are used as the basis to determine current membership in the Smith River Rancheria.

On April 7, 2012, Bommelyn was honored by the 5th Annual Humboldt State California Big Time and Social Gathering, a gathering of five California Native American tribes, for her contributions to the preservation of Tolowa language and customs.

## Death and tribal remembrance

Eunice Bommelyn died in Crescent City, California, on April 23, 2012, at the age of 85. Her family cut their hair to sever a connection between themselves and her spirit. She was buried by her grandchildren at the How-On-Quet Indian Cemetery, which overlooks the Smith River. The Tolowa did not perform the Nee-dash dance in 2012, in memory of Bommelyn.

# BRP Francisco Dagohoy (PF-10)

The **BRP *Francisco Dagohoy* (PF-10)** was an *Andrés Bonifacio*-class frigate of the Philippine Navy that served from 1979 to 1985. She was one of six ex-United States Navy *Barnegat*-class small seaplane tenders and ex-United States Coast Guard *Casco*-class high endurance cutters received from the United States after the Vietnam War, two of which were cannibalized for spare parts without entering service. She and her other three sister ships were the largest Philippine Navy ships of their time.

## History

### Construction and United States Navy service 1944-1946

*Francisco Dagohoy* was built in the United States by Lake Washington Shipyard at Houghton, Washington, as the United States Navy *Barnegat*-class seaplane tender USS *Castle Rock* (AVP-35). Commissioned in October 1944, *Castle Rock* served in the Central Pacific during and after World War II. She was decommissioned in June 1946 and placed in reserve.

### United States Coast Guard service 1949-1971

In 1948, the U.S. Navy loaned *Castle Rock* to the United States Coast Guard, which commissioned her that year as the cutter USCGC *Castle Rock* (WAVP-383). She was later reclassified as a high endurance cutter and redesignated WHEC-383. While in Coast Guard service, her primary duty was to patrol ocean stations, reporting weather data and engaging in search-and-rescue and law-enforcement operations. She also performed combat duty in the Vietnam War for a few months in 1971.

## Republic of Vietnam Navy service 1971-1975

*Castle Rock* was transferred to South Vietnam on 21 December 1971 and was commissioned into the Republic of Vietnam Navy as the frigate RVNS *Trần Bình Trọng* (HQ-05). She fought in the Battle of the Paracel Islands in 1974.

When South Vietnam collapsed at the end of the Vietnam War in late April 1975, *Trần Bình Trọng* fled to Subic Bay in the Philippines, packed with South Vietnamese refugees. On 22 May 1975 and 23 May 1975, a U.S. Coast Guard team inspected *Trần Bình Trọng* and five of her sister ships, which also had fled to the Philippines in April 1975. One of the inspectors noted: "These vessels brought in several hundred refugees and are generally rat-infested. They are in a filthy, deplorable condition. Below decks generally would compare with a garbage scow."

## Philippine Navy service 1979-1985

After *Trần Bình Trọng* had been cleaned and repaired, the United States formally transferred her to the Republic of the Philippines on 5 April 1976. She was commissioned into the Philippine Navy as frigate RPS *Francisco Dagohoy* on 23 June 1979. In June 1980 she was reclassified and renamed as BRP *Francisco Dagohoy* (PF-10). She served in the Philippine Navy until she was decommissioned in June 1985. Unlike her two other decommissioned sisterships, *Francisco Dagohoy* was never re-activated after her decommissioning.

*Francisco Dagohoy* was discarded in March 1993 and probably scrapped.

## Technical details

There were changes made to the *Andrés Bonifacio* class as compared to their original design during its service with the US Navy, US Coast Guard and the Republic of Vietnam Navy. The ships were passed to the Philippine Navy with fewer weapons on-board and old surface search radars, and these were addressed later on by the Philippine Navy through modernization programs, including the addition of a helicopter landing pad in 1979.

The single Mark 12 5-inch/38-caliber (127 mm) gun was *Francisco Dagohoy*'s primary weapon. It was mounted in a Mark 30 Mod 0 enclosed base ring and had a range of up to 18,200 yards (16,600 m). The gun was a dual-purpose type, capable of both antisurface and antiair warfare. She also carried two twin Mark 1 Bofors 40 mm anti-aircraft guns, four Mark 4 single 20 mm Oerlikon cannons, four .50-caliber (12.7-mm) general-purpose machine guns, and two 81 mm mortars.

Radar system installed include the Sperry SPS-53 Surface Search & Navigation Radar replacing the previously installed AN/SPS-23, while retaining both the AN/SPS-29D Air Search Radar and Mk.26 Mod.1 Fire Control Radar System.

Hatch and Kirk, Inc. added a helicopter deck aft in 1979. Although the ship had no capability to house or service visiting helicopters, the helicopter deck could accommodate one MBB Bo 105C helicopter, used by the Philippine Navy for utility, scout, and maritime patrol purposes.

*Francisco Dagohoy* was powered by two Fairbanks-Morse 38D diesel engines with a combined power of around 6,200 brake horsepower (4.63 megawatts), driving two propellers. The main engines could propel the 1,766-displacement-ton (standard load) ship at a maximum speed of around 18 knots (33 km/h). She had a maximum range of 8,000 nautical miles (14,820 km) at an economical speed of 15.6 knots (29 km/h).

The Philippine Navy made plans to upgrade the entire ship class with new radar systems and the BGM-84 Harpoon long-range anti-ship cruise missile, but this did not materialize due to the worsening political and economic crisis in the Philippines in the mid-1980s.

# Formation reconnaissance regiment

The **Formation Reconnaissance Regiment** (Fmn Recce) is a fighting unit provided by the Royal Armoured Corps or Household Cavalry.

Formation reconnaissance regiments are intended to provide Armoured Reconnaissance for a higher-level formation, usually a division or a heavy brigade. In a large-scale defensive operation, they would delay attacking forces, whilst screening heavier units as they moved to engage the enemy.

## History

During the early 1980s, there were four "Type A" armoured reconnaissance regiments as part of the British Army of the Rhine (BAOR), known as **Divisional Reconnaissance Regiments**. Each had three Sabre Squadrons; two **Medium Reconnaissance** Squadrons comprising four troops of 4 x Scorpions together with a Surveillance Troop of 5 x Spartan equipped with ZB298 radar, plus a **Close Reconnaissance** squadron of five troops of 8 x Scimitars (one for each battlegroup in the division). There were a further four "Type B" regiments based in the United Kingdom, earmarked for the reinforcement of BAOR; these had two medium reconnaissance squadrons, of Scimitars and Scorpions, and a close reconnaissance squadron equipped with Fox armoured cars. Finally, four Yeomanry regiments of the Territorial Army were intended for home defence; these had four reconnaissance squadrons of Foxes, with a small number of Ferret armoured cars.

By 1986, two regular regiments were permanently stationed in Germany, and titled as **Armoured Reconnaissance Regiment (Tracked) (BAOR)**; these had four medium reconnaissance squadrons with Scimitars, each also having an integral guided-weapons troop of Strikers. Each of these would operate with one of BAORs armoured divisions. The third armoured division had its reconnaissance regiment based in England, equipped as a **Armoured Reconnaissance Regiment (Tracked) (UK)**; this formation had three medium reconnaissance squadrons of Scimitars and Scorpions, and a fourth guided-weapons squadron of Strikers. A fourth regiment was also equipped to this standard, and based in the UK to support NATO mobile forces. There was a third organisation for regular forces, the **Armoured Reconnaissance Regiment (UK)**, which had two tracked reconnaissance squadrons of Scorpions and one wheeled reconnaissance squadron of Foxes. In the Territorial Army, there were two organisations, two **Yeomanry Reconnaissance Regiment (BAOR)** and three **Yeomanry Reconnaissance Regiment (UK)**. The former were equipped with three or four reconnaissance squadrons of Foxes, and intended for reinforcing units based in West Germany; the latter had three or four reconnaissance squadrons of unarmoured civilian Land Rovers, and were intended solely for home defence.

The 1993 Options for Change review cut the number of regular armoured reconnaissance regiments to two, with a third being created in 1995 by converting the Royal Armoured Corps training regiment. At this point, the regiments were quoted as a combat strength of 48 Scimitars and 12 Strikers; this is comparable to the current regimental structure, but for a four-squadron regiment.

A fourth was created in the 1998 Strategic Defence Review by converting a conventional armoured regiment to the reconnaissance role. The 1998 conversion, however, saw the regiments reduced to three squadrons rather than four, with a single Yeomanry regiment for peacetime reinforcement, with the effect that the total number of operational squadrons remained the same.

The force was increased to five regiments by the 2003 Defence White Paper, again by re-roling an armoured regiment; it is about this time that the designation **Formation Reconnaissance Regiment** appeared.

Five regular army regiments were equipped for the formation reconnaissance role:

The Queen's Own Yeomanry was the only Territorial Army unit that served in the Formation Reconnaissance role.

### Current

Under Army 2020, the previous five formation reconnaissance regiments were reduced to three with 1st Queen's Dragoon Guards and the Light Dragoons being re-roled into the 'light cavalry' along with the Queen's Own Yeomanry:

## Organisation (1990s-2000s)

For the late 1990s to early 2000s: A regiment was organised into four reconnaissance squadrons, each with three reconnaissance troops of four Scimitars and a guided weapons troop of four Strikers. The squadrons also had a support troop with four Spartan APCs, a Mechanical Engineer section with a Spartan and a Samson recovery vehicle and a Squadron Headquarters troop with two Land Rover 110 medium utility trucks, two Sultan command vehicles and a Samaritan ambulance. The main combat strength was thus 16 Strikers and 48 Scimitars.

**Reconnaissance Squadron composition**

In addition to these three squadrons, a regiment also contained a Regimental Headquarters squadron, with six Sultans, a Spartan, a Samaritan and two medium utility trucks, and a Light Aid Detachment of the REME with a Sultan, a Samson, a Spartan and a Foden recovery vehicle.

In wartime, a regiment would have been increased to four reconnaissance squadrons by the activation of reserve personnel and Territorial Army Yeomanry units.

The CVR(T) family of vehicles are now out of service, and have been replaced by the Warrior and Ajax armoured fighting vehicles.

# Ephemera vulgata

***Ephemera vulgata*** is a species of mayfly in the genus *Ephemera*. This mayfly breeds in stationary water in slow rivers and in ponds, the nymphs developing in the mud.

## Description

*Ephemera vulgata* can be told in both adult and subimago stages from the rather similar green drake (*Ephemera danica*) by its duller colour and slightly smaller size. The wings are more heavily veined and the upper side of the abdomen has pairs of dark lateral markings on each segment.

## Distribution and habitat

*Ephemera vulgata* is found throughout most of Europe. It mostly breeds in sluggish rivers and still waters such as ponds. This species is in decline, probably because of pollution of waterways by pesticides and heavy metals, and because the adult insects are disorientated by light pollution.

## Biology

The nymphs of *E. vulgata* burrow into the sediment at the bottom of ponds. Most burrowing mayfly nymphs use the gills on their abdomens to create a current of water through their burrows, thereby ensuring sufficient oxygen is available to absorb through the tracheae in their skin. The motile, filamentous gills of *E. vulgata* seem to act as secondary respiratory surfaces and their presence is necessary to the nymph in the low-oxygen environment in which it lives. By contrast, nymphs of *Baetis* and *Cloeon* spp. that were deprived of their gills maintained a normal uptake of oxygen even in low-oxygen environments.

The sediment in which the nymphs live is rich in organic material, and in polluted environments, heavy metals may accumulate. The nymphs bioaccumulate the toxic metals cadmium, copper, lead and zinc.

The males perform a "nuptial dance" which takes place over land, above open areas or single trees, or in the lee of trees in windy weather. This swarming activity takes place between June and August, in the morning and evening and at other time of day, influenced by the temperature and amount of cloud cover. In between bouts of swarming, males rest in the vegetation. Females fly into a swarm and are inseminated from below by a male taking part in the up and down motion. The eggs are laid by the female dipping her abdomen into the surface of the water. This mayfly usually has a two-year life cycle (one- and three-year cycles have also been recorded), with the nymphal stage lasting for most of this period and the adult being on the wing briefly in summer.

abstract: The 2017–18 UMBC Retrievers men's basketball team represented the University of Maryland, Baltimore County during the 2017–18 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Retrievers, led by second-year head coach Ryan Odom as members of the America East Conference, started the season playing their home games at the Retriever Activities Center in Catonsville, Maryland, but moved to the new UMBC Event Center during the season. The new arena opened on February 3, 2018. UMBC beat UMass Lowell and Hartford to advance to the championship of the America East tournament where they defeated Vermont. As a result, the Retrievers received the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. As the No. 16 seed in the South region, they defeated the No. 1 overall seed Virginia by 20 points, becoming the first 16th-seeded team to beat a No. 1 seed. The win is considered one of the biggest upsets in NCAA Tournament history and sports history depending on seedings or point spreads. The Retrievers lost to Kansas State in the second round.
