# Ellen Marsvin

Ellen Marsvin (1 February 1572 – 11 November 1649) was a Danish noble, landowner and county administrator. She was the mother-in-law of King Christian IV of Denmark-Norway, the mother of Kirsten Munk (1598–1658) and grandmother of Leonora Christina Ulfeldt (1621–1698).

## Biography

She was born at Landskrona Citadel in Scania (Skåne), a part of Denmark that was conquered by Sweden in 1658 and has been Swedish since. She was the daughter of the noble, council and governor Jørgen Marsvin (ca. 1527–81) and Karen Gyldenstierne (ca. 1542–89). She was married to Count Ludvig Munk (1537–1602) in 1589. Widowed in 1602, she married the governor and noble Knud Rud (1556-1611) in 1607. She was widowed for a second time in 1611.
In 1615 her only child, Kirsten, married King Christian IV of Denmark-Norway. Ellen had demanded that her daughter be married rather than be mistress to the king; she also formed the marriage contract, in which it was stated that Kirsten should be the legal spouse of the king and receive a county as widow pension. Ellen was made the guardian of her daughter's children with the king, the trustée for her grandchildren's' allowances, and was made responsible for their fortune. From 1620 until 1639, she was administrator of Dalum Kloster manor on the island of Funen. Marsvin was one of the most successful landowners in Denmark. Through her inheritance, money and connections, she bought, sold and built large estates with great success. In 1625 she was one of the richest landowners in Denmark.
In 1629 when her daughter was accused of adultery, she introduced the king to his next lover Vibeke Kruse; to justify Kirsten's adultery, or to keep her personal influence over the monarch. The king respected her for her skill as a businessperson. In 1639, however, the king grew tired of her persistent demand that he recognize his wife's youngest daughter Dorothea Elisabeth, (her own youngest grandchild) as his, and as a result, he fired her as county administrator. In the middle of the 1640s, she retired to her manorial estate Ellensborg, the present Holckenhavn on Funen and lived the rest of her life at her estate.
# Ranney collector

A Ranney Collector is a type of radial well used to extract water from an aquifer with direct connection to a surface water source like a river or lake. The amount of water available from the collector is typically related more to the surface water source than to the piezometric surface of the aquifer.

## Description

A caisson is constructed of reinforced concrete and installed into sand or gravel below the surface level of an adjacent river or lake. Screened conduits (also referred to as laterals or lateral well screens) are extended horizontally from ports in the caisson about 60 meters (200 feet) into surrounding water-bearing alluvium. The radial arrangement of screens forms a large infiltration gallery with a single central withdrawal point. A single collector may produce as much as 25 million gallons per day. Bank filtration of water through aquifer soils may reduce water treatment requirements.

## History

Texas petroleum engineer Leo Ranney drilled horizontally for oil in the early 1920s. The first Ranney collector for water was installed in London in 1933. Hundreds of Ranney collectors have been built since.
# Thomas Erskine Holland

Sir Thomas Erskine Holland KC, FBA (17 July 1835 – 24 May 1926) was a British jurist.

## Biography

His prolific scholarly work, including an often-cited treatise in legal philosophy (Elements of Jurisprudence, 1880), his co-founding and editorship of Law Quarterly Review and his service as a university judge earned him the titles of a King's Counsel and a Fellow of the British Academy, as well as a knighthood in 1917.
His son, Sir Robert Erskine Holland, was an administrator in British India.
There is a memorial tablet to him in the chapel of Brighton College.
# The Other Song

The Other Song is a 2009 documentary film directed by Saba Dewan that journeys across Varanasi, Lucknow and Muzzafarpur, India. The film traces the lost traditions and the culture of tawaifs (courtesans of North India), particularly, through a song by Rasoolan Bai, Lagat karejwa ma chot, phool gendwa na maar and its lesser known, earlier version Lagat jobanwa ma chot, phool gendwa na maar recorded in 1935 Gramophone recording.

## The making

Saba Dewan spent eight years, researching and gathering information from personal and institutional archives for making The Other Song. The movie went on to become a pioneer in a space where little or no research has been done. The film has a distinctive narrative style and captures rather poetically the story of a tradition and a community lost in history, through interviews with patrons, collectors, musicians and the last of the tawaifs themselves, interspersed with, kothis and musical instruments, galis and temples, that dot the landscape.

## Synopsis

The film spans between personal stories as it interacts with historical events, ultimately, leading to the decline of a great art form. Weaving the past with the present, the film shows the downfall of art from and the community during the Indian Independence, as the identity of the country was being shaped more and more by the upper-caste, Hindu ideas about chastity, mother-figure, the Goddess or Bharat Mata. This new identity celebrated by the Indian bourgeois, stigmatized and punished the tawaifs and their art form for being a symbol and an expression of sexuality and eroticism. The narrative balances music and silence through Hindustani or classical Indian music, such, as thumri, dadra and folk songs, the domain of the tawaifs expertise and traces its slow suppression and disappearance by contrasting it with the silence. The silence is abruptly broken in a particular scene where a group of boys celebrating with loud Hindi-film music during an immersion procession, symbolizes the growing masochistic and chauvinistic sense of society and nation that led to the demise of the tawaif tradition as it was a digression from that identity.

# The Galton Whistle

"The Galton Whistle" is a science fiction short story by American writer L. Sprague de Camp, a story in his Viagens Interplanetarias series. It is the first (chronologically) set on the planet Vishnu. It was first published, as "Ultrasonic God," in the magazine Future Combined with Science Fiction Stories in the issue for July, 1951. It first appeared in book form under the present title (that preferred by the author) in the collection The Continent Makers and Other Tales of the Viagens, published in hardcover by Twayne Publishers in 1953, and in paperback by Signet Books in 1971. It also appeared in the anthologies Novelets of Science Fiction (Belmont Books, 1963, under the original title), The Good Old Stuff (St. Martin's Griffin, 1998), and The Good Stuff (Science Fiction Book Club, 1999). The story has been translated into Portuguese, Dutch, and Italian.

## Plot

Surveyor Adrian Frome, one of a three-member survey team working in the jungles of the planet Vishnu, is captured by the centaur-like Dzlieri natives after his supervisor is killed and the third member deserts. Taken to the Dzlieri base, he finds them taking orders from Sirat Mongkut, a Terran previously lost in the area, who is pretending to be a god and has ambitions of uniting the centauroid tribes under himself as emperor. He uses an ultrasonic whistle than only the Dzlieri can hear to bolster his authority. Another captive is Elena Millán, a female missionary who had also gone missing. Faced with the choice of joining his captor's cause or death, Frome pretends to enlist, while actually seeking an opportunity to thwart the madman's grandiose scheme and escape. When it arises, he kills Sirat and absconds with Elena, making for the peak that was the goal of the survey, from which he hopes to signal for aid. Successfully rescued, he puts in for a transfer to Ganesha, another world in the star system, to escape Elena in turn; having formed a romantic liaison with her, he has since discovered she is an incurable religious fanatic.

## Setting

The planet Vishnu is a tropical world occupying the same star system as Krishna, de Camp's primary setting for the Viagens Interplanetarias series.
As dated in The Continent Makers and Other Tales of the Viagens and the 1959 version of de Camp's essay "The Krishna Stories", "The Galton Whistle" takes place in the year 2117 CE.

# Toni Haastrup

Toni Haastrup is a social scientist with expertise in global politics. She is a Professor, & Chair in Global Politics at the University of Manchester. Her research interrogates the manifestation of power hierarchies in global politics, with research interests encompassing a wide range of themes, including peace and security in Africa, feminist, postcolonial and decolonial approaches to international relations, and regional and global governance – she has published extensively in these areas. In addition to her academic work, Toni Haastrup frequently works with government mechanisms and international organisations, offering expertise on themes linked to Europe's engagement in Africa; the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda and Feminist Foreign Policy (FFP). She was awarded the 2022 Flax Foundation's Emma Goldman Award for her work on feminist and inequality issues in Europe.

## Early life and education

Haastrup was an undergraduate student at the University of California, Davis. She moved to the University of Cape Town for her graduate degree. Eventually, Haastrup joined the University of Edinburgh for her doctoral research, where she investigated contemporary EU-Africa relations.

## Research career

In addition to examining the contemporary practices of Europe's engagement in Africa, through relations between the European Union and regional organisations on the continent, Haastrup's research has focused on the practices of the Women, Peace, and Security agenda extensively. The WPS framework is the result of years of feminist campaigning, and looks to achieve gender justice by strengthening the participation for women in global peace and security, amongst other concerns. In 2019 Haastrup joined the University of Stirling, prior to which she was at the University of Kent. Her more recent research critically evaluates the construction and deployment of feminist foreign policies in global policymaking.
In 2022, the Flax Foundation awarded Haastrup the Emma Goldman Award for her work on feminist and inequality issues. In September 2023, she joined the University of Manchester and will commence her Independent Social Research Foundation (ISRF) Fellowship, which seeks to theorise peace through a Pan-Africanist Feminist lens.

# Elling Carlsen

Elling Carlsen (8 September 1819 – 18 April 1900) was a Norwegian skipper, seal hunter and explorer. He is credited with the discovery of Kong Karls Land and was one of the crew of the 1872 Austro-Hungarian North Pole Expedition. He is also known for the 1871 discovery of the lodge of Willem Barentsz, which had stood for 270 years since Barentsz sheltered there on his third and final voyage.

## Life

Elling Carlsen was born in Tromsø in Troms, Norway. Carlsen took the mate exam in 1846 and that same year he was given responsibility for his first ship. Carlsen made his first voyage out of Hammerfest in Finnmark, Norway.
In 1859, Carlsen discovered the island group that would later be named Kong Karls Land in the Svalbard archipelago in the Arctic Ocean. Although Carlsen is credited with the finding, the islands may have been first sighted by the whaler Thomas Edge in 1617. In 1863, Carlsen completed the first circumnavigation of Spitsbergen.
In 1868 and 1869, Carlsen sailed to Novaya Zemlya and into the Kara Sea, pioneering Norwegian hunting in the region.
During a voyage to the Arctic Ocean in 1871, Carlsen discovered the lodge of Willem Barentsz on the north-eastern shore of the archipelago of Novaya Zemlya. This winter camp had been used as shelter by Barentsz and his crew on their third voyage in 1597, shortly before Barentsz's death. The lodge had been perfectly preserved when Carlsen found it, and he made a sketch of its construction. He records finding two copper cooking pots, a barrel, a tool chest, clock, crowbar, flute, clothing, two empty chests, a cooking tripod and a number of pictures.
Carlsen was ice master and harpooneer on the 1872–1874 Austro-Hungarian North Pole Expedition led by Julius von Payer and Karl Weyprecht, which discovered the archipelago of Franz-Josef Land during two years stuck in the ice in the Barents Sea. At the conclusion of that expedition, Carlsen returned to his hometown of Tromsø, and he retired from exploration five years later. Carlsen died in Tromsø in 1900.

## Recognition

The crew of the Austro-Hungarian North Pole Expedition were celebrated throughout Europe, in part due to their diversity and the trials they had overcome, but Carlsen's quick return to Tromsø meant he never achieved celebrity status in Europe. After his death in 1900, Carlsen was posthumously made a Knight of the Order of St. Olaf.
Carlsen Island, one of the Rønnbeck Islands in the Svalbard archipelago, is named after Carlsen.

# Elling Holst

Elling Bolt Holst (19 July 1849 – 2 September 1915) was a Norwegian mathematician, biographer and children's writer.

## Early and personal life

Holst was born in Drammen, Norway. He was a son of bookseller Adolph Theodor Holst and Amalie Fredrikke Bergh. He was a grandson of merchant and politician, member of the Storting, Elling Mathias Holst (1785–1852).
Holst enrolled as a student at the University of Christiania (now University of Oslo), his doctoral advisor was Sophus Lie, and he graduated as cand.real. in 1874. He continued his studies in Germany, where Felix Klein was among his teachers. He was appointed teacher at Aars og Voss skole in Christiania (now Oslo). His thesis Et par syntetiske Methoder, især til Brug ved Studiet af metriske Egenskaber was finished in 1882.

## Career

Holst lectured in mathematics at the University of Oslo from 1894. Among his other mathematical works are his contribution from 1878, Om Poncelets betydning for geometrien, and several course books. He wrote biographies of several mathematicians, including Cato Maximilian Guldberg, Carl Anton Bjerknes, Sophus Lie and Niels Henrik Abel.
Holst is particularly known for his children's books Norsk Billedbog for Børn, three collections from 1888, 1890 and 1903 (with illustrations by Eivind Nielsen). The first of these books has been called Norway's first national picture book (although a picture abc had been published previously, in 1876). Holst started collecting traditional poems for children, several of which were first published in Norwegian writing in these books. These poems, such as "Ride, ride ranke", "Bake kake søte", "Kjerringa med staven", "Hoppe! sa gåsa" and "Du og jeg og vi to", have had a constant popularity over many years, and Norsk Billedbog for Børn has been reissued several times. Also contemporary poetry was included in the books, such as some poems by Henrik Wergeland, "Kom bukken til gutten" by Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson, and "Blaamand" by Aasmund Olavsson Vinje.
Among his other children's books are Julegodter for Børn from 1892, and A.B.C. for Skole og Hjem from 1893 (together with Anna Rogstad). He published the picture book Fra Sæteren in 1899, with illustrations by Lisbeth Bergh.

## Personal life

He was married twice, first to Inger Skavlan (1852–99), and was a brother-in-law of Olaf Skavlan, Sigvald Skavlan, Aage Skavlan and Harald Skavlan. After her death, he married Marie Michelet (1872–1960), sister of Simon Michelet, in 1900.
He was decorated Knight, First Class of the Order of St. Olav in 1902.
