# Edme Jeaurat

Edme Jeaurat (1688–1738) was a French engraver from Vermenton, near Auxerre.
Jeaurat was the son of an engraver and the elder brother of painter Etienne Jeaurat. His father took young Edme to Paris and apprenticed him to Bernard Picart. After working there many years, Jeaurat moved to the Netherlands, where he made his living producing engravings of the great paintings in Amsterdam and The Hague, while studying Dutch painting.
Upon his return to Paris, he was reunited with his brother, whom he had not seen in many years. He began engraving Etienne's paintings and became known for his accurate work. Jeaurat was also employed by Pierre Crozat to engrave pictures for his famous collection. In 1722 in Paris, he married Marie-Charlotte Le Clerc, the sister of the artist Le Clerc, and many of his engravings are of the religious pictures painted by his brother-in-law. He had two sons, Nicolas Henri, a painter of still lifes, and Edme-Sébastien, who eventually devoted himself to science and became an astronomer.
There is a fine collection of Edme Jeaurat's engravings in the British Museum, and they can also be studied in the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris. His finest work is said to be "Achilles discovered among the Daughters of Lycomedes" from 1713, and he also made engravings of works by Poussin, Veronese, and Watteau.

# Edme Lesauvage

Edme Lesauvage (also spelt Le Sauvage) (23 October 1778 – 10 December 1852), was a French naturalist and physician in Caen. He wrote numerous papers on medical subjects as well as on natural history. His main interest was in palaeontology and especially the fossils of Calcaires de Caen.
Lesauvage was born in Caen on October 23, 1778. His father Jean-Jacques Sauvage worked in the Bureau des Aides while his mother Marie-Louise-Jeanne Coquille ran a pottery and tobacco shop to add to the modest family income. Lesauvage spent his early years in a boarding school in a village near Caen where he was taken care of by an uncle. He was unhappy with school and was recalled due to his petulant behaviour and became an apprentice to a grocer at the age of fourteen or fifteen. He then moved to live in Rouen where he came to love books and reading returned and at the age of seventeen. He studied for a while under Delariviere and then under Doctor Dominel before going to Paris to study medicine. He won the first prize in Anatomy from 1806 to 1808 and obtained a doctorate in 1810. He returned to Caen and established himself as a skilled surgeon. In 1821 he was chosen to replace the medical head position occupied by Desbordeaux and vacated due to his death. The Caen Faculty of Science had to make a choice between Lesauvage and Eugène Eudes-Deslongchamps and the Deslongchamps was chosen. Lesauvage then continued his surgical practice until 1846. After the death of Dr. Dominel in 1831 he was the head of surgery, a position he held till 1846.
Lesauvage was a professor at the l'École secondaire de médecine, member of the academy, correspondent of the Royal Academy of Medicine and the Academies at Rouen and Dijon. He left 12,000 Francs to the National Academy in Caen in 1884 to establish a biennial prize in physical sciences, natural and medical history.
In 1827 Lesauvage became a member of the Société d'Agriculture and the Linnean Society. He founded a Medical Association in 1849. On 29 April 1844 he was made a member of the Legion d'Honour.
He published works on the flora and the birds of Calvados. In 1838 he published a treatise on the treatment of syphilis.

# Echelon (warez)

Echelon is a warez group which specializes in the illegal release and distribution of copyrighted console games, such as Dreamcast and PlayStation 2 ISO images. They also created demos on both platforms.
Between September 4, 2000, and April 30, 2002, Echelon's Dreamcast division released 188 game titles and 34 other various fixes, tutorials, trainers, and loaders.
On December 19, 2001, Echelon released Final Fantasy X as their first of several hundred PlayStation 2 titles. As of 2007, Echelon continues to release games for the PS2 platform.
In 2004, Echelon was named as one of six groups targeted as part of Operation Fastlink by the United States Department of Justice.
On November 15, 2005, Echelon's Dragon Quest VIII USA PS2 nfo file stated that Echelon was indeed Kalisto: We errr Kalisto released it on November 2nd 2001 as Dragon_Warrior_VII_USA_PS1-KALISTO, referring to the previous game in the series and the nfo ended with -- the dragon warrior of KALiSTO.

## Sega Smash Pack ROM Loader

The Sega Smash Pack ROM Loader is a front-end loader program released by the warez group Echelon, allowing a user to load their own ROMs into the Sega Genesis emulator built into Sega's Sega Smash Pack Volume 1 game for the Dreamcast. Provided in the release are the emulation software, tools, and instructions on burning a CD with custom ROMs.
The legality of such a loader is dubious, even if one owns the original title. As it runs in full speed with very few issues (the most prominent being its poor sound), the emulator, being dubbed "Segagen" to avoid legal issues, was originally embraced in the Dreamcast homebrew community. However, after much controversy, most Dreamcast web sites soon stopped hosting the ROM loader.
Due to the loader's small text and poor controls, Obsidian later released their own version of the Sega Smash Pack ROM Loader, called "Lemec." It featured larger, easier-to-read text, quick scrolling through files, additional VMU functionality, and added stability. Obsidian's release did not include the Smash Pack emulator software for legal reasons. As such, the user requires the original Echelon release in order to build a disk using the Lemec loader.
Gary Lake, the programmer of the Sega Smash Pack Volume 1, had himself deliberately left a documentation of the built-in emulator on the original game disc, with the documentation seemingly intended at them due to the filename (ECHELON.TXT).
# Eduardo H. Gato House

# Edinburgh, Mpumalanga

Edinburgh is a town in Ehlanzeni District Municipality in the Mpumalanga province of South Africa.
# Edinburgh-Cape Blue Object Survey

The Edinburgh-Cape Blue Object Survey (or EC in astronomical notation) is a major astronomical survey to discover blue stellar objects brighter than B~18 in the southern hemisphere, and is an extension of the earlier Palomar-Green survey. At the time of its initiation, the completed survey was expected to cover "around 10,000 square degrees at high galactic latitudes in the southern hemisphere to a limiting magnitude of B ~ 18 mag". The star EC 20058-5234, also known as QU Telescopii, was discovered during the survey. Other notable stars observed include BB Doradus, and the survey generally contributed to the number of known H-deficient stars.
The stellar objects to be observed were "selected by automatic techniques from U and B pairs of UK Schmidt Telescope plates scanned with the COSMOS measuring machine", with "follow-up photometry and spectroscopy" being obtained with the South African Astronomical Observatory telescopes.
# Eduard Devrient

(Philipp) Eduard Devrient (11 August 1801 – 4 October 1877) was a German baritone, librettist, playwright, actor, theatre director, and theatre reformer and historian.
Devrient came from a theatrical family. His uncle was Ludwig Devrient and his brother Karl was the first husband of Wilhelmine Schröder-Devrient.
He was born and studied in Berlin and performed in a number of German opera houses between 1819 and 1834, when he lost his singing voice and turned his attention to writing and acting. From 1844-6 he worked in Dresden as actor/director, and he directed the Hoftheater in Karlsruhe from 1852 until his retirement in 1870.
As a singer, he performed in works by Gluck, Mozart, Beethoven and Weber, among others, and sang in the première of Marschner's Hans Heiling (in the title-role; Devrient also wrote its libretto). He also sang in the 1831 Berlin premiere of Der Templer und die Jüdin (as Bois-Guilbert).
He also took the part of Christ in the 1829 revival by his friend Felix Mendelssohn of J. S. Bach's St Matthew Passion, having previously sung the role of Carrasco in Mendelssohn's only publicly performed opera, Die Hochzeit des Camacho (1827).
He wrote a number of plays and two other opera librettos, Die Kirmes and Der Zigeuner, both set by Wilhelm Taubert. In Karlsruhe, in the course of seventeen years, he not only raised it to a high position, but enriched its repertory by many noteworthy librettos. But his chief work is his history of the German stage, Geschichte der deutschen Schauspielkunst (Leipzig, 1848-1874).
Eduard Devrient died in Karlsruhe. His son Otto Devrient also worked in the theatre.

# Eduard Seler

Eduard Georg Seler (December 5, 1849 – November 23, 1922) was a prominent German anthropologist, ethnohistorian, linguist, epigrapher, academic and Americanist scholar, who made extensive contributions in these fields towards the study of pre-Columbian era cultures in the Americas.

## Research

Seler is best known for his foundational studies concerning the ethnography, documents, and history of Mesoamerican cultures, for which he is regarded as one of the most influential scholars active around the turn of the 20th century. Seler laid many fundamentals in understanding and deciphering the Aztec pictorial script. A main contribution was the re-discovery and analysis of the basic Aztec calendar system: the existence of two Aztec calendars, a 365-day solar profane (everyday use) and a 260-day religious calendar. He also noted from the sources that the ceremonial killing victim figures alleged by Spanish priests and military (repeatedly reported as being greater than 10,000 or even 100,000) were most probably vastly exaggerated propaganda. This was supported by excavations in the late 20th century.
Being poor and of ailing health, he was helped and supported for decades by his wife Cäcilie (Cecilia) Seler-Sachs (1855–1935), physically and intellectually. Her photos of Aztec temples and pyramids are still useful to scientists, and after her husband's death she went about verifying his works and publishing them. Seler was also helped by Mexican scholar and historian Antonio Peñafiel.

# Edward Seymour (Irish cricketer)

Edward Neville Seymour (14 January 1906 – 12 February 1980) was an Irish first-class cricketer.
Seymour was born at Dublin in January 1906, and was educated in the city at the Masonic Boys' School. Playing his club cricket for Clontarf, Seymour made his debut in first-class cricket for Ireland against Scotland at Dublin in 1927. He made two further first-class appearances in 1928, against the touring West Indians at Dublin, and Scotland at Edinburgh. In the 1928 match against Scotland, he was no-balled for throwing, and did not play for Ireland again. Playing as a fast-medium bowler, he took four wickets in his three first-class matches, with best figures of 2/26. Outside of cricket, he worked for Gouldings' Fertilisers. He died at Dublin in December 1980.
# Egyptian nightjar

The Egyptian nightjar (Caprimulgus aegyptius) is a medium-small nightjar which occurs in south west Asia and north Africa and winters in tropical Africa. This is a fairly common species with a wide distribution which faces no obvious threats apart from habitat destruction, so the International Union for Conservation of Nature has rated its conservation status as being of "least concern".

## Etymology

The genus name Caprimulgus is derived from the Latin capra, "nanny goat", and mulgere, "to milk", referring to an old myth that nightjars suck milk from goats. The specific aegyptius is Latin for Egyptian.". The common name "nightjar", first recorded in 1630, refers to the nocturnal habits of the bird, the second part of the name deriving from the distinctive churring song.

## Description

The variegated plumage is much paler than the European nightjar. The adult is sand-coloured, barred and streaked with buff and brown. The under parts are sandy or whitish. It is smaller, but relatively longer-winged and longer-tailed than the more widespread species. Like other nightjars, it has a wide gape, long wings, soft downy plumage and nocturnal habits. The male has tiny white wing spots. The length is 25 cm, and the wingspan 55 cm. Its call is a repetitive mechanical kroo-kroo-kroo…, which rises and falls as the bird turns its head from side to side.

## Distribution and habitat

The Egyptian nightjar is native to northern Africa, the Arabian Peninsula and the Middle East. Its range includes Afghanistan, Algeria, Bahrain, Chad, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Nigeria, Oman, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, South Sudan, Sudan, Tajikistan, Tunisia, Turkmenistan, United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan and Yemen. It is a rare visitor to Europe, and has occurred as a vagrant in Denmark, Germany, Italy, Malta, Sweden and the United Kingdom. Its typical habitat is open desert with a few scattered trees or bushes. It is often found near water in areas with sparse vegetation and scrub. Over-wintering birds in Sudan can be found in areas with long grass.

## Ecology

During the day, this crepuscular nightjar lies silent upon the ground, concealed by its plumage; it is difficult to detect, blending in with the sandy soil. It flies at dusk, most often at sundown, with an easy, silent moth-like flight; its strong and deliberate wingbeats alternate with sweeps and glides with motionless wings. Crepuscular insects, such as moths, are its food. No nest is made; the two elongated and elliptical eggs are placed upon the bare ground; the brooding bird, sitting closely, is their best protection. The population in northwestern Africa breeds in the desert and sandy steppe where there are areas with limestone outcrops, and overwinter in dry countryside with Artemisia, Tamarix and Salsola.
# Edward Conway, 2nd Viscount Conway

The Rt Hon. Edward Conway, 2nd Viscount Conway, PC (bapt. 10 August 1594 – 26 June 1655), was an English politician, military commander, bibliophile and peer.

## Early life and education

Conway was the eldest son of The 1st Viscount Conway and his wife, Dorothy, and was baptised on 10 August 1594 in Arrow, Warwickshire. He matriculated from The Queen's College, Oxford, on 3 May 1611 and is thought to have learnt military strategy from his uncle by marriage, Sir Horace Vere. He was knighted on 25 March 1618, and in 1621, he married Frances Popham (a daughter of Sir Francis Popham). He succeeded his father in the peerage in January 1631.

## Political and military service

Conway was nominated by Lord Brooke to become Member of Parliament for Warwick between 1624 and 1625, and in 1626, he was elected for Yarmouth (Isle of Wight). In 1628, after his father was created Viscount Conway and Viscount Killultagh, Conway was summoned to parliament in the right of the Conway barony. He succeeded his father to his titles following his death on 3 January 1631.
Lord Conway unsuccessfully commanded Charles I's forces at the Battle of Newburn in 1640. He became an Irish Privy Counsellor, Marshal of the Army in Ireland, and was served as a member of the Westminster Assembly of Divines from 1643 to 1649.
He was briefly imprisoned after being implicated in the plot by Edmund Waller and others to seize London for the king.

## Personal life

Like his father, Lord Conway had a particular interest in English literature, with literary connections including Sir John Beaumont, Michael Drayton, Ben Jonson, John Donne, and Sir John Suckling. In 1643, his London library was catalogued as containing 5,000 or more volumes, and his library at Lisnagarvey in County Antrim contained between 8,000 and 9,900 books and manuscripts.
He retired to the house of The 10th Earl of Northumberland in Petworth, Sussex, in the early 1650s. He later travelled abroad and died in Lyons, France on 26 June 1655. He was buried in Arrow, and his titles passed to his only son, Edward, who was later created Earl of Conway. His daughter Dorothy married Sir George Rawdon, 1st Baronet.

# Egdean

Egdean (pronounced Egg-deen) is a small village in the civil parish of Petworth, in the Chichester district of West Sussex, England. It lies just off the A283 road 1.7 miles (2.8 km) southeast of Petworth. In 1931 the parish had a population of 82. On 1 April 1933 the parish was abolished and merged with Petworth.
In earlier centuries a horse fair was held at Egdean. It was one of the last occasions on which the 3rd Earl of Egremont was seen out in public before he died in 1837. The earl gave a £20 prize for the best three-year-old colt or filly.
The Anglican church of St Bartholomew, dating from the 16th century, is in regular use.
