# Ellisville, Mississippi

**Ellisville** is a town in and the first county seat of Jones County, Mississippi, United States. The population was 4,448 at the time of the 2010 census, up from 3,465 at the 2000 census. The Jones County Courthouse is located here, as is much of the county government.

The state legislature authorized a second county seat at Laurel, to the northeast, which developed as the center of lumber and textile mills, with a much larger population. Ellisville is part of the Laurel micropolitan statistical area.

## History

The town is named for Powhatan Ellis, a former U.S. senator for Mississippi who identified as a descendant of Pocahontas and her father, Chief Powhatan in Virginia. Ellisville was designated as the county seat, and it became the major commercial and population center of Jones County through the early decades of development in the nineteenth century.

During the Civil War, Ellisville and Jones County were a center of pro-Union resistance. The county had mostly yeomen farmers and cattle herders, who were not slaveholders. Slaves constituted 12% of the county's population in 1860, the lowest proportion of slaves of any county in the state in 1860, as conditions generally did not support cultivation of large cotton plantations. Many local men resented going to war to support slaveholders, and worried about the survival of their families, where women and children worked to keep subsistence farms going. They resented Confederate tax collectors who took the goods and stores their families needed to live.

Confederate deserters and refugee slaves formed a resistance group known as the Knight Company, led by Newton Knight, First Lieutenant Jasper Collins, and Second Lieutenant William Wesley Sumrall. They were known to take refuge in a swamp along the Leaf River. Along with as many as 100 other Southern men, they fought several skirmishes with Confederate tax men, then other Confederate units eventually sent to crush the resistance. In 1864 they took control in Ellisville, raising the United States flag over the courthouse in place of the Confederate flag.

In 1919, Ellisville hosted one of the most gruesome lynchings in history, when a black man, John Hartfield was found to have a white girlfriend. A story was concocted about a rape, and Hartfield was captured by law enforcement. The *Jackson Daily News* ran headlines that "John Hartfield will be lynched by Ellisville mob at 5:00 this afternoon", and that a crowd of thousands was expected to attend. A crowd of around 10,000 came to watch Hartfield hanged from a tree, then shot repeatedly. When his body was cut down, pieces were cut off for souvenirs and what remained was burned. Commemorative postcards were printed.

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Ellisville lost primacy to nearby Laurel, which became a center of the timber industry and cotton textile mills. Its population in the mid-20th century was nearly six times that of Ellisville. Laurel has attracted other industries and is the center of a micropolitan statistical area comprising all of Jones County and Jasper County. The Jones County Sheriff's Department is based in Laurel, but the county government is still based in Ellisville, at the Jones County Courthouse.

Ellisville reflects the demographics of the county and is majority white. Laurel is majority African American in population, reflecting the migration of agricultural workers to the city for industrial and urban jobs.

title: Antiestrogen withdrawal response

abstract: The antiestrogen withdrawal response is a paradoxical improvement in breast cancer caused by discontinuation of antiestrogen therapy for breast cancer. It has been documented rarely with the selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) tamoxifen and raloxifene. The phenomenon indicates that these agents can somehow result in stimulation of breast cancer tumor progression under certain circumstances. One proposed theory for the mechanism is that the sensitivity of breast cells to estrogens shifts with estrogen deprivation, and upon antiestrogen withdrawal, endogenous estrogen acts in the manner of high-dose estrogen therapy in the breast to inhibit breast cancer growth and induce breast cancer cell death. The antiestrogen withdrawal syndrome is analogous to but less common and well-known than the antiandrogen withdrawal syndrome, a phenomenon in which paradoxical improvement in prostate cancer occurs upon discontinuation of antiandrogen therapy.

## Offseason

### Coaching changes

Preparation for the 1973 season began before the 1972 season concluded. Durell Mock, who had led the Lions to a 3–24 record in three seasons, announced that he would resign from the head coach position after the final game of the season at Jacksonville State. With the resignation, the search for a new head coach began. Unofficial reports suggested that four coaches had been chosen for final consideration. The list of coaches was made up of Southern Miss assistant coach Hamp Cook, Georgia assistant coach Byrd Whigham, and Auburn assistant coach Sam Mitchell. But, it would be the fourth man on the list who got the job: Mickey Andrews.

Andrews, who had previously been coaching at Florence State rival Livingston, was announced as the new head coach and athletic director on November 30. In his three years at Livingston, he coached the Tigers to a NAIA National Championship and a Gulf South Conference championship in 1971. He also played defensive back for the Alabama Crimson Tide from 1962 to 1964.

Andrews brought forth multiple changes during the offseason. He brought previous members of his coaching staff at Livingston to join him in Florence. Mike Dean, who Andrews had brought on to Livingston to become a defensive coach, was selected as defensive coordinator. Richie Gaskell, who had been head coach at Carson-Newman before joining Andrews' coaching staff, joined on as the new offensive coordinator.

### Spring practice

Andrews and his new coaching staff quickly became dissatisfied with the state of the team. After the first spring practice, Andrews said in an interview, "We're about as far away from being a football team as any group I've ever seen on the first day of spring practice. The best thing we had was effort." During the remaining spring practice sessions, the amount of players would drop from the initial seventy to only thirty-four remaining. This along with the record amount of freshman joining the team led to a very young Florence State Lions football team in 1973.

### New stadium proposal

Off the gridiron, plans for a new stadium for the Lions were being drafted. Despite playing in Braly Stadium since 1949, it seemed that the Lions had outgrown the stadium. With the recent move to the Gulf South Conference and the construction of Flowers Hall, it seemed that Florence State athletics was about to grow. Along with this, issues were beginning to arise about sharing Braly with high school teams. There were several instances in the previous years where both Coffee High School and Bradshaw High School would play on Thursday and Friday and then, the Lions would play on Saturday. This would create poor field conditions by the time Florence State took the field on Saturday night.

With these sentiments, the FSU Alumni Association led by Harlon Hill began to create plans and fundraise for the stadium. By May, the proposal would gain support from the city and optimism for the stadium was high. The proposed stadium would be built west of the Florence State campus and have a capacity of 20,000. The stadium would also have artificial turf. With the optimism, it was believed that the stadium would break ground in 1974. However, it would not. It would be fifty years later in 2024 when the university broke ground on Braly's replacement, Bank Independent Stadium.

The offices of the ERA are located in the New ERA House at 5C-1 Third Street, Lugogo Industrial Area, Kampala Central Division, in the country's capital city. The coordinates of New ERA House are 0°19'18.0"N 32°36'18.0"E (Latitude:0.321667; Longitude:32.605000).

## Overview

ERA was established in 2000, in accordance with the Electricity Act of 1999, as an agency of the Uganda Ministry of Energy, Oil and Mineral Development. This parastatal is governed by a five-member board, also known as the "Authority". The day-to-day affairs of the agency are supervised by the chief executive officer. Organizations and committees within the purview of the ERA include the Rural Electrification Board and the Electricity Consumer Committees.

## Operations

One of the responsibilities of the agency is the issuance of licenses to electricity wiremen/wirewomen in Uganda, who totaled nearly 2,000 as at November 2018. A member of the Authority also chairs a 5-person Installations Permit Committee, which is responsible for interviewing applicants for installation permits, processing of new permits, renewal of permits and undertaking disciplinary measures against permit holders who violate the terms and conditions of their permits.

## Governance

The authority is supervised by a board of directors, chaired by Sarah Wasagali Kanaabi. The chief executive officer of the authority is Engineer Ziria Tibalwa Waako.

## Recognition and awards

In December 2021, the annual African Development Bank’s **2021 Electricity Regulatory Index** selected Uganda's electricity sector as the best-regulated on the African continent, for the fourth consecutive year. By extension, Uganda's Electricity Regulatory Authority is the best electricity sector regulator in Africa, for four years running, according to the AfDB.

title: Electronic trading platform

abstract: In finance, an electronic trading platform also known as an online trading platform, is a computer software program that can be used to place orders for financial products over a network with a financial intermediary. Various financial products can be traded by the trading platform, over a communication network with a financial intermediary or directly between the participants or members of the trading platform. This includes products such as stocks, bonds, currencies, commodities, derivatives and others, with a financial intermediary such as brokers, market makers, Investment banks or stock exchanges. Such platforms allow electronic trading to be carried out by users from any location and are in contrast to traditional floor trading using open outcry and telephone-based trading. Sometimes the term trading platform is also used in reference to the trading software alone. Electronic trading platforms typically stream live market prices on which users can trade and may provide additional trading tools, such as charting packages, news feeds and account management functions. Some platforms have been specifically designed to allow individuals to gain access to financial markets that could formerly only be accessed by specialist trading firms using direct market access. They may also be designed to automatically trade specific strategies based on technical analysis or to do high-frequency trading. Electronic trading platforms are usually mobile-friendly and available for Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS and Android, making market entry easier and helping with the surge in Retail Investing.

They may also be designed to automatically trade specific strategies based on technical analysis or to do high-frequency trading.

Electronic trading platforms are usually mobile-friendly and available for Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS and Android, making market entry easier and helping with the surge in Retail Investing.

## Etymology

The term 'trading platform' is generally used to avoid confusion with 'trading system' which is more often associated with the trading method or strategy than the computer system used to execute orders within financial circles. In this case, platform is used to mean a type of computing system or operating environment such as a database or other specific software.

## Historic development

Financial transactions had traditionally been handled manually, between brokers or counterparties. However, starting in the 1970s, financial transactions started to migrate to electronic trading platforms. Platforms and trading venues included electronic communication networks, alternative trading systems, "dark pools" and others.

The first electronic trading platforms were typically associated with stock exchanges and allowed brokers to place orders remotely using private dedicated networks and dumb terminals. Early systems would not always provide live streaming prices and instead allowed brokers or clients to place an order which would be confirmed some time later; these were known as 'request for quote' based systems.

In 1971, Nasdaq was created by the National Association of Securities Dealers and operated entirely electronically on a computer network. Nasdaq was opened on 8 February 1971. It rapidly gained popularity and by 1992, it accounted for 42% of trade volume in the US.

With the advent of electronic financial markets, electronic trading platforms were also soon launched. In 1992, Globex became the first electronic trading platform to reach the market. E-Trade, a company that started as an online brokerage service, soon also launched its own platform aimed at the consumer. These platforms rapidly gained popularity with E-Trade's growth rate at 9% per month in 1999. In the late 2000s, with the emergence of digital tools, a new generation of investment companies started to appear, which began to offer services to assist non-professional investors in trading. In 2007, a multi-asset investment company eToro was founded, focusing on copy trading, social trading, and other types of trading services. In 2017, the bitcoin exchange Binance was founded.

Trading systems evolved to allow for live streaming prices and near instant execution of orders as well as using the internet as the underlying network meaning that location became much less relevant. Some electronic trading platforms have built-in scripting tools and even APIs allowing traders to develop automatic or algorithmic trading systems and robots.

The client graphical user interface of the electronic trading platforms could be used to place various orders and were also sometimes called trading turrets (though this may be a misuse of the term, as some refer to the specialized PBX phones used by traders).

During the period from 2001 to 2005, the development and proliferation of trading platforms saw the setting up of dedicated online trading portals, which were electronic online venues with a choice of many electronic trading platforms rather than being restricted to one institution's offering.

## Regulations

### Information Reporting

In 1995, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) promulgated Rule 17a-23, which required any registered automated trading platform to report information, including participants, orders, and trades every quarter. Requiring platforms to comply with enhanced pre- and post-trade transparency requirements has provided a stronger incentive for users to trust electronic trading platforms.

### Order Handling Rules

Market fragmentation led some Nasdaq market makers on Instinet to quote prices that were better than their own quotes on Nasdaq. To address this discrepancy, the SEC introduced the Order Handling Rules in 1996. These rules required stock exchange specialists and Nasdaq market makers to publicly display any price quoted on a proprietary trading system that represented an improvement of their displayed prices. Another order handling rule required a market maker to display the size and price of any customer limit order that either increased size at the quoted price or improved the market maker's quotation.

### Decimalization

Decimalization was instituted in 2001 by the SEC, requiring market makers to value financial instruments by increments of $0.01 as opposed to the previous standard of $.0625. This change significantly lowered margins, providing an incentive for big dealers to utilize electronic management systems and eventually leading to lowered trading costs.

## Features

### Historical data

Electronic trading platforms frequently provide historical data, including graphs, to help their customers make trading decisions. These diagrams may be expanded to contain a large number of dates and are frequently employed in technical analyses of particular instruments.

### Current news

To help consumers make decisions about their contracts, trading platforms frequently include recent news. Articles on certain businesses may be included, as well as updated ratings provided by independent companies that focus on particular commodities. The same information that professional traders have access to is available to retail traders on different applications due to specialized news.

### Portfolio tracking

The user's portfolio can be tracked, which is another function that is frequently seen on trading platforms and can have an impact on trades based on a trader's past performance.

The game designers are Jane Jensen and Gano Haine. The game was going to be ported to Amiga and Macintosh, but those releases never came out. A sequel, Lost Secret of the Rainforest, was released in 1993. The last of Sierra's various Quest series, EcoQuest is designed to teach about the importance of environmental ethics. The games are considerably easier than most Sierra adventures and cannot be lost or rendered unwinnable. Both use a fully mouse-driven version of SCI1, in the manner of Space Quest IV and King's Quest VI. The Search for Cetus was released first on floppy disk, then on CD-ROM with full speech in 1992.

***EcoQuest: The Search for Cetus*** is an educational adventure game developed by Sierra On-Line. The original concept was developed by Sierra VP of Creative Development, Bill Davis. The game designers are Jane Jensen and Gano Haine. The game was going to be ported to Amiga and Macintosh, but those releases never came out. A sequel, *Lost Secret of the Rainforest*, was released in 1993.

The last of Sierra's various *Quest* series, *EcoQuest* is designed to teach about the importance of environmental ethics. The games are considerably easier than most Sierra adventures and cannot be lost or rendered unwinnable. Both use a fully mouse-driven version of SCI1, in the manner of *Space Quest IV* and *King's Quest VI*. *The Search for Cetus* was released first on floppy disk, then on CD-ROM with full speech in 1992.

## Plot

The protagonist is a 10-year-old boy named Adam Greene, the son of an ecologist and an expert scuba diver. Adam's attempts to help a dolphin named Delphineus that his father has rescued, takes a turn for the weirder when the dolphin starts talking. In no time flat, he's trying to seek out Cetus, the sperm whale king of Eluria, an underwater kingdom populated by marine animals. He has assistance in the form of several creatures found in the various ecosystems of the world. Aside from the considerable liberty of sentient talking and semi-anthropomorphic animals, the game is more realistic than cartoony.

## Gameplay

The game presents the player with practical, narrative problems to solve (typical of Sierra adventure games of the period) combined with occasional puzzle elements similar to those found in the *Castle of Dr. Brain*. *The Search for Cetus* introduced the recycling symbol to Sierra's standard palette of command icons, giving the player bonus points for removing litter from the marine environment. The game introduces children ages 12 and up to marine biology and marine conservation by confronting them with the consequences of various human activities including: dumping of litter, releasing of helium-filled balloons, abandonment of fishing gear, collisions between vessels and marine mammals, spilling of oil and chemicals into the sea and the fertilization of algal blooms.

## Sequel

In *Lost Secret of the Rainforest* (aka *EcoQuest II*, though this does not appear in the game's title), the second installment in the series, Adam, now slightly older and able to speak with animals as a matter of course, explores the tropical rainforest in search of a cure of a disease afflicting the local Indigenous peoples of South America, and a way to save the rainforest from destruction. One of the game's innovations was the "Ecorder" display: a tricorder-like device Adam uses to learn about things he finds during his journey. According to *Pelit*, the game is somewhat harder than its predecessor and places more emphasis on the dangers of selfishness and greed, as opposed to the blight of man.

She played well enough to earn a transfer to first-tier teamn IL Sandviken. Team captain Gro Espeseth praised Bakkerud's pace, tackling, passing and tactical skills. Bakkerud was selected for the Norway women's national football team to face Slovakia in the autumn of 1996, and made her debut in that match. She was also selected for the squad that faced Australia in 1997, but did not play. She married footballer Lars Bakkerud in the summer of 1996. In December 1998 her husband signed for Panionios GSS in Greece. The couple moved to Greece together, meaning that Bakkerud left Sandviken. Already in the summer of 1999, though, her husband moved from Panionios to Helsingborgs IF in Sweden. The couple found residence in Helsingør in Denmark, with Elin Bakkerud commencing a nursing education there. Ahead of the 2000 Toppserien, she was contracted by newly promoted club FK Larvik. She would commute from Denmark to Larvik to play matches, while planning to conduct her training sessions with Danish club Hillerød G&I. She played 18 league games and 2 cup games for FK Larvik, scoring 1 cup goal.

# Elite Forces: Unit 77

***Elite Forces: Unit 77*** is an action video game developed by Spanish studio Abylight and Gammick Entertainment for the Nintendo DS and DSiWare.

## Gameplay

*Elite Forces: Unit 77* follows a group of soldiers who are deployed to an island to rescue hostages. The player must complete missions to rescue the hostages while fighting off henchmen.

The player controls the squad of soldiers throughout the game's missions. *Elite Forces: Unit 77* uses stylus controls on the bottom screen of the Nintendo DS. The player designates one player as the leader and controls other soldiers with similar touch commands. Different soldiers in the squad use different weapons and serve different functions.

The original Nintendo DS version failed to include a multiplayer version, while an updated Nintendo DSi version added it in.

## Reception

The Nintendo DS version received "mixed" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. *IGN*'s Craig Harris felt that the game had impressive visuals, but was the "perfect storm of gaming mediocrity". *Pocket Gamer*'s Jon Jordan said that it was a "fairly competent budget DS game that's neither overly exciting nor totally embarrassing" and described it as "straight to video". Criticism was especially pointed towards the game's lack of multiplayer and unresponsive controls, but Craig Harris noted that *Elite Forces: Unit 77* had impressive graphics.

The DSiWare release of *Elite Forces: Unit 77* garnered similar reviews that criticized the game's control scheme, but did praise the inclusion of a multiplayer mode. *Nintendo Life*'s Philip Reed compared the game's control scheme unfavorably to *The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass* and believed that the game suffered from "unintuitive and unreliable controls".

title: Eli Woods

abstract: Eli Woods was an English comedian and comic actor, born in Stockton-on-Tees, County Durham, possibly best known for his work with stage comedian Jimmy James, and particularly for his part in the famous 'elephant-in-the-box' routine. He made his first professional appearance on the stage of the Hippodrome Theatre in Aldershot in Hampshire. Jimmy James developed his famous act over many years, but from the first it required two 'stooges'. One was John "Jack" Casey—tall and stick-thin, with a bony face and a stammering delivery—who originally appeared as "Bretton Woods", and only later redubbed as "Eli" Woods. The other stooge, 'Hutton Conyers' would be played either by members of the Casey family - including, on occasion, James Casey - or by Roy Castle. Much later, Woods was in the support cast of Castles in the Air, a comedy series on BBC Radio 2. During the late 1970s and early 1980s, Woods featured in three Eddie Braben scripted comedy shows: The Worst Show on the Wireless The Show With Ten Legs and The Show with No Name. Both shows harked back to the music hall tradition. As a performer, Woods turned his lifelong stutter to his advantage, using it to comic effect in many contexts. For many years active as a stage and radio performer, Woods also appeared in a number of television comedies, as well as playing small parts in a variety of films including A Private Function released in 1984. The apex of his career was appearing in a comedy sketch with James Casey and Roy Castle in the 1982 Royal Variety Performance in which they also sing Kisses Sweeter than Wine. Although Woods's birth name was John Casey, he was better known to his family as Jack. He died at home in Stockton-on-Tees in the early hours of Thursday 1 May 2014, aged 91.

# Eli Woods

**Eli Woods** (born **John Casey**; 11 January 1923  1 May 2014) was an English comedian and comic actor, born in Stockton-on-Tees, County Durham, possibly best known for his work with stage comedian Jimmy James (in reality his uncle), and particularly for his part in the famous 'elephant-in-the-box' routine. He made his first professional appearance on the stage of the Hippodrome Theatre in Aldershot in Hampshire.

Jimmy James developed his famous act over many years, but from the first it required two 'stooges'. One was John "Jack" Casey—tall and stick-thin, with a bony face and a stammering delivery—who originally appeared as "Bretton Woods" (named after the location of the famous 1944 United Nations monetary and financial Conference), and only later redubbed as "Eli" Woods (often "Our Eli"). The other stooge, 'Hutton Conyers' would be played either by members of the Casey family - including, on occasion, James Casey \- or (from 1956 to 1959) by Roy Castle. Much later, Woods was in the support cast of *Castles in the Air*, a comedy series on BBC Radio 2.

During the late *1970s* and early 1980s, Woods featured in three Eddie Braben scripted comedy shows*: The Worst Show on the Wireless* (20 episodes, 1973 -75) *The Show With Ten Legs* (26 episodes, 1978–80) and *The Show with No Name* (13 episodes, 1982–84). Both shows harked back to the music hall tradition. As a performer, Woods turned his lifelong stutter to his advantage, using it to comic effect in many contexts. For many years active as a stage and radio performer, Woods also appeared in a number of television comedies, as well as playing small parts in a variety of films including *A Private Function* released in 1984.

The apex of his career (in terms of recognition) was appearing in a comedy sketch (the elephant in a box routine) with James Casey and Roy Castle in the 1982 Royal Variety Performance in which they also sing Kisses Sweeter than Wine.

Although Woods's birth name was John Casey, he was better known to his family as Jack. He died at home in Stockton-on-Tees in the early hours of Thursday 1 May 2014, aged 91.

# Anti-Eritrean sentiment

**Anti-Eritrean sentiment** is a broad opposition, bias, discrimination and hatred against Eritrea, its government and people. Anti-Eritrean attitude is prevalent amongst Tigrayan elites, who were crucial parts for downfall of the Derg regime in 1991. The 1998 border war exacerbated their relations as both parties accused each other for the territorial claims. Eritrean involvement in the Tigray War further aggravated anti-Eritrean feelings amongst Tigrayans.

## In Ethiopia

In 1977, the Eritrean People's Liberation Front (EPLF) launched attack on oil refinery amidst the Ethiopian Civil War and began naval attacks on 25 April 1988. When Assab was liberated by EPLF in the final battle, 40,000 civilians and Ethiopian POWs repatriated who took shelter outside Addis Ababa. They expressed anti-Eritrean sentiment due to shortage of petroleum and oil products in Addis Ababa transported through Assab. Many Amharan nationalist opposition groups expressed anti-Eritrean sentiment who used Eritrean independence and handover of Red Sea to Eritrea as means to consolidate EPLF new government led by Isaias Afwerki. They accused Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi for cementing "special relationship" with Afwerki who dismantle the Derg government together in 1991. Hence, there was broad opposition to Eritrean politics when UN Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali visited Addis Ababa before going to Asmara in 1993 to endorse Eritrean independence referendum. Ethiopian university students took protest his visit in which the government shot seven dead and some teachers and staffs sacked.

On 25 May 2023, anti-Eritrean sentiment in Ethiopia increased as a result of fear that Eritreans would spy on Ethiopia for its own political gains. Around 70,000 Eritreans deported from Ethiopia.

## In Tigray

The Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) had positive opinion toward Eritrea during the Ethiopian Civil War until mid-1980s, and between the Eritrean independence until Badme War 1998. TPLF-led Ethiopian government accused Eritrea for its arrogance of reclaiming border in accordance with the Italian colonial administration. Both engaged frozen conflict and skirmishes roughly in 20 years until Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed signed joint declaration to end border conflict on 9 July 2018. The 2022 Bertelsmann Transformation Index report highlighted that "The border between the two countries was not demarcated due to the opposition of the Tigray regional government. Instead of demobilizing its forcibly recruited army, the Eritrean government has been engaged in an undeclared war against the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) in Tigray alongside Ethiopian federal forces since November 2020, which has resulted in a humanitarian catastrophe." A Tripartite Agreement was signed in September 2018 that fosters a diplomatic and trade relationship.

On 4 November 2020, Ethiopia with other regional militias and forces began war with Tigray government. Further Eritrean involvement in the war had tense animosity towards Eritrea amongst Tigrayans. On 29 November 2020, the Times reported TPLF claims that Eritrea was "wading into the conflict by deploying troops against them". However, it noted:

> Communications to Tigray have been cut off by the government, which has made it impossible to verify claims of atrocities perpetrated by both sides. The Ethiopian human rights commission has accused militia linked to the TPLF of massacring hundreds of laborer's from the neighboring Amhara region. Amhara and Tigray have been embroiled in territorial disputes for decades.

In March 2021, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed confirmed Eritrean involvement after previously denying their role for months.

title: Elizabeth Ribbing

abstract: Elizabeth Ribbing, was a Swedish noblewoman and lady-in-waiting. She was the secret morganatic spouse of Prince Charles Philip, Duke of Södermanland.

text:
# Elizabeth Ribbing

**Elizabeth Ribbing** (Swedish: *Elisabet*; 1 January 1596 at Fästered, Finnekumla – 24 April 1662), was a Swedish noblewoman and lady-in-waiting. She was the secret morganatic spouse of Prince Charles Philip, Duke of Södermanland.

## Biography

Ribbing was the daughter of the nobles Seved Svensson Ribbing and Anna Gyllenstierna. She was a lady-in-waiting to Queen Dowager Christina of Holstein-Gottorp. On 5 March 1620, she married Prince Charles. The wedding was kept secret because the Queen Dowager had forbidden the match, and was witnessed by Ribbing's sister Christina Ribbing. The wedding contract was signed: "*Your faithfull husband, as long as I live, Carolus Philippus*", and: "*Your Royal Highness humble servant as long as I live, Elizabeth Ribbing*".

Because the marriage was kept secret, Ribbing was forced to defy her brother's wish that she marry her relative, Knut Liliehöök (1603–1664). In 1622, she became a widow. She was pregnant at the death of her spouse, and was harassed by her family because of it until her sister, her wedding witness, revealed the marriage. She was later married to Knut Liliehöök, governor of Turku. Her daughter, Elisabet Carlsdotter Gyllenhielm (1622–1682), was taken into the household of the Queen Dowager: she was married to the nobles Axel Turesson Natt och Dag (1645) and Baltasar Marskalk and lady-in-waiting to Queens Maria Eleonora of Brandenburg and Hedwig Eleonora of Holstein-Gottorp.

# 1885 Belovodoskoe earthquake

The **1885 Belovodoskoe earthquake** occurred on 2 August, in the Chüy Region, Russian Turkestan (now Kyrgyzstan), with a moment magnitude of 6.7–7.6. It had an epicenter in the west of Bishkek. This earthquake damaged 2 villages and caused 54 deaths. The maximum MSK-64 intensity was estimated at IX–X (*Devastating*).

## Earthquake

The earthquake was assigned a maximum Medvedev–Sponheuer–Karnik scale of IX–X. The surface rupture had an area about 20 km length between the Sokuluk and Aksu rivers, parallel to the mountain front, and a width between 0.2 and 2.1 m. The earthquake was felt over a large area. It caused caused numerous fractures and surface cracks, including a 20-km-long and up to 2-m-wide fracture between the Sokuluk and Aksu rivers. It also initiated rockfalls and landslides, some of which temporarily blocked the Sokuluk and Aksu rivers. Heavy liquefaction was reported from the area around the Aksu river.

An earthquake catalogue compiled by Kondorskaya and Shebalin assigned the earthquake magnitude as 6.9, but did not specify the subtype. This was calculated from the seismic intensity data. The maximum intensity was IX–X on the Rossi–Forel scale. In 2014, Bindi and others determined a moment magnitude of 6.7±0.4 based on an equation to calculate from seismic intensity data on the Medvedev–Sponheuer–Karnik scale.

The earthquake may have produced uplift across a riverbed, expressed as a 1.5 m (4 ft 11 in) scarp, discovered following a topographic survey finding published in 2001. In Belek, no evidence of surface rupture were found. The estimated magnitude was 6.9–7.4. In 2018, Krüger and others reassessed the moment magitudes of major earthquakes in Central Asia; they determined 7.6±0.15 for the Belovodoskoe earthquake.

## Impact

Two villages from Kara-Balta and Belovodskoye were damaged, and 54 people died from the earthquake.
