# Herman Roethel

Herman Roethel (January 3, 1882 – February 17, 1956) was a Wisconsin farmer from Kiel, Wisconsin, United States, who served two terms as a member of the Wisconsin State Assembly, first being elected as a Socialist, and later as a Republican.

## Background

Roethel was born January 3, 1882, on a farm in the town of Meeme in Manitowoc County, received a public school education and attended the short course in agriculture at the University of Wisconsin. He lived on the same farm for 32 years, making a specialty of raising pure bred Berkshire hogs and Jersey cattle on which he secured many prizes at the state and county fairs for several years. He raised barley and corn on 140 acres (0.57 km$^2$); was active in the Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment Association, and from 1909 to 1915 was president of the Manitowoc County branch. In 1914 he sold his farm and moved to Kiel, assisted in organizing the Kiel Mercantile Association and became director and livestock shipper.

## Political career

He had served as school clerk and village assessor before being elected to the Assembly in 1918, receiving 1,556 votes to 1,436 for Democrat Martin Rappel.

## Assembly

He was elected as a Socialist in 1918 from the second Manitowoc County district (the Towns of Cato, Cooperstown, Eaton, Franklin, Gibson, Kossuth, Maple Grove, Mishicot, Rockland, Schleswig, Two Creeks and Two Rivers; the Villages of Kiel and Reedsville and the City of Two Rivers), with 1,556 votes to 1,436 for Democratic incumbent Martin Rappel. He was assigned to the standing committee on agriculture, and to a special joint committee investigating the State Historical Society of Wisconsin.
He was defeated in 1920 by Republican Thomas A. Sullivan in a three-cornered contest: Sullivan receiving 3,084 votes to 1,744 for Roethel and 1,285 for Democrat David LeClair. In 1926, by then retired and living on a few acres of land in Kiel and serving as fire chief for the Kiel volunteer fire department, he was elected to the Assembly as a Republican, receiving 3,052 votes to 1,138 votes for perennial Democratic nominee David LeClair. In the 1928 Republican primary election Roethel was defeated by the same Thomas A. Sullivan who had defeated him for re-election in the 1920 general election; Sullivan went on to defeat LeClair in the November general election.

## Death

Roethel died on February 17, 1956, in Sheboygan, Wisconsin.
# Martin M. Higgins

Martin M. Higgins (January 5, 1891 – May 27, 1950) was an American advertising man who spent one term as a Republican member of the Wisconsin State Assembly from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and later served as a Milwaukee alderman.

## Background

Higgins was born in Chicago on January 5, 1891, was educated in public and parochial schools and business college. He served in the United States Navy during the First World War, was honorably discharged, and went into what his official biography describes as "the advertising business, specializing in periodical magazine work." He never held public office until elected to the Assembly.

## Legislative term

In 1920, Higgins defeated incumbent Socialist Joseph Klein with 2,185 votes for Higgins to 1,206 for Klein (there was no Democrat in the race) to represent the Assembly's Second Milwaukee County district (the 2nd Ward of the City of Milwaukee). He was assigned to the standing committee on elections.
In 1922, after his Assembly district had been somewhat altered by redistricting, he ran unsuccessfully as an Independent Republican for the State Senate's 9th District, coming in fourth in a four-way race. (The altered 2nd Assembly District seat was taken by Republican Michael Laffey.)

## Milwaukee alderman

In 1928, Higgins was elected to the Milwaukee Common Council as Alderman from the 2nd Ward. Instead of running for reelection as alderman, he ran in 1932 for the State Senate (for the 6th District this time) as an independent, and again came in fourth in a four-way race. In 1936 he was again elected alderman for the 2nd Ward. He was defeated in 1940, and repeatedly sought to return to his old office. He became a perennial candidate for city, county and state offices, and ran at various times as a Republican or Democrat. He worked as a plant guard, and died of a heart attack on May 27, 1950, having lost his most recent race for alderman the month before. He was survived by a wife Alma, three daughters and a son.

## Public office

He was elected to the Assembly in 1920 to succeed fellow Socialist Edwin Knappe in representing the Tenth Milwaukee County Assembly District (the 21st and 25th Wards of the City of Milwaukee). He ran unopposed (one of three Socialists in Milwaukee to do so that year), receiving 6,918 votes to 3 for other persons; and was appointed to the standing committee on labor.
He did not run for re-election in 1922 after a redistricting split his district into the new Fourth and Third Milwaukee County Districts; and was succeeded by fellow Socialists Frank J. Weber and Thomas M. Duncan, both of whom were elected without opposition.

# Desmostylus

Desmostylus is an extinct genus of herbivorous mammal of the family Desmostylidae living from the Chattian stage of the Late Oligocene subepoch through the Late Miocene subepoch (28.4 mya–7.250 Mya) and in existence for approximately 21.2 million years.

## Description

Desmostylus was a large, hippopotamus-like creature, with the adult Keton specimen of D. hesperus measuring 275 cm (9.02 ft) in length, 105 cm (3.44 ft) in height and 1,283 kilograms (2,829 lb) in body mass; the largest known humerus, which is 1.3 times that of the Keton specimen in length, probably belonged to an individual with a mass of 2.8 metric tons (3.1 short tons). It had a short tail and powerful legs with four hooves. The animal's jaws were elongated and sported forward-facing tusks, which were elongated canines and incisors.
Most likely fully aquatic, Desmostylus is thought to have lived in shallow water in coastal regions, usually less than 30 meters deep. Recent isotope work indicates that Desmostylus more likely lived (or spent a large amount of time) in freshwater or estuary ecosystems foraging for aquatic freshwater plants.
Its less dense bone structure suggests that Desmostylus had a lifestyle of active swimming and possibly feeding at the surface, unlike other desmostylians that were primarily slow swimmers and/or bottom walkers and sea grass feeders.

## Species

Desmostylus hesperus (synonyms and invalid names: D. watasei, D. cymatias, D. californicus, D. mirabilis, D. minor, Desmostylella typica), D. coalingensis (syn. Vanderhoofius coalingensis), and D. japonicus.
Marsh 1888 named the type specimen D. hesperus based on a set of isolated teeth that he had found near Mission San Jose, California (type locality: 37°36′N 121°54′W﻿ / ﻿37.6°N 121.9°W﻿ / 37.6; -121.9, paleocoordinates 36°48′N 117°36′W﻿ / ﻿36.8°N 117.6°W﻿ / 36.8; -117.6). Marsh described his specimen as a sirenian and proposed affinities with Metaxytherium (a genus of extinct dugongs) and Halicore (an obsolete name for dugong).
Several other species were later described based on minor differences in tooth morphology. Most or all of these species have been synonymized with D. hesperus since variation in tooth morphology between individuals assigned to one of these species has proven to be to greater than the differences between species.
Desmostylus japonicus was described by Yoshiwara & Iwasaki 1902 based on a well-preserved partial skull and named by Tokunaga & Iwasaki 1914. It has been reproposed as distinct species based on cranial morphology.

## Fossil distribution

Fossils have been discovered from along the northern Pacific Rim from Baja California Peninsula northward along the coast of California, Oregon, Washington and west to Sakhalin Island, Hokkaido, and south to the Shimane Prefecture.

# Dedi II, Margrave of Lusatia

Dedi (or Dedo) II (died 1069), called the Younger (Latin: iunior), was the Margrave of the Saxon Ostmark (also called Lower Lusatia) in 1069.
Dedi II was the eldest son of Dedi I of the Saxon Ostmark and his first wife, Oda, daughter of Theitmar of the Saxon Ostmark. Sometime after 1063, he was given the Sword of Attila by Otto of Nordheim, who had acquired it from Queen Anastasia of Hungary.
After his father's rebellion against Henry IV of Germany in Summer 1069, Dedi II was given his father's title Margrave of Lower Lusatia. Later that same year (before 26 October 1069), Dedi was murdered while relieving himself at night, and thus predeceased his father. It was rumoured that Dedi's stepmother, Adela, was behind his assassination. The Sword of Attila was confiscated by the king upon Dedi's death.

The game used Artificial Studio's own 'Reality Engine' technology. The full game was released for free on May 8, 2007, and can be downloaded from a variety of gaming websites.
In 2007, Artificial Studios released Monster Madness: Battle For Suburbia, published by SouthPeak Games for the Xbox 360 and PC as their flagship title. The Monster Madness franchise was continued in 2008, by new developers, with Monster Madness: Grave Danger.
In 2008, Artificial Studios acquired funding for their unannounced title, codename "R6", from publisher Ignition Entertainment. A new studio was established, Ignition Entertainment: Florida, for development of this project. The studio had approximately 70 employees and the title was rumored for a "late 2009" release.
