Last Waltz in Vienna
Last Waltz in Vienna by George Clare (21 December 1920 – 26 March  2009) was the 1982 winner of The WH Smith Literary Award.

The book, subtitled The Destruction of a Family 1842–1942, tells the history and fate of the Klaar family, who were proudly Austrian and also happened to be Jewish.

The family left Austria following the Anschluss. After the fall of France, Clare's parents were arrested in 1942 by the Vichy authorities and deported from the Drancy internment camp to Auschwitz where they were murdered.

The author changed his name while serving as a volunteer in the British Army in World War II, first in the Pioneer Corps and later the Royal Artillery, and chose George Clare, as an anglicised version of his original name, Georg Klaar.

The book was translated into six languages and was the subject of a BBC Television documentary.

Synaphodus
Synaphodus is an extinct genus of artiodactyls belonging to the basal family Dichobunidae. It was endemic to western Europe and lived during the Oligocene, although its specific temporal range is uncertain. Despite having only one recognized species S. brachygnathus, it has had a complicated taxonomic history due to the genus name, established by the French palaeontologist Auguste Pomel in 1848, being applied early on for a species that was eventually reclassified under the suoid genus Propalaeochoerus. It was a large-sized member of the Dichobuninae similar to Metriotherium but differed from it by its more bunodont (round and low cusps) dentition among other differences. As one of the few dichobunines of the Oligocene, it would have coexisted with immigrant faunas after the Grande Coupure extinction event and surviving faunas within western Europe.

Degaussing
Degaussing, or deperming, is the process of decreasing or eliminating a remnant magnetic field. It is named after the gauss, a unit of magnetism, which in turn was named after Carl Friedrich Gauss. Due to magnetic hysteresis, it is generally not possible to reduce a magnetic field completely to zero, so degaussing typically induces a very small "known" field referred to as bias. Degaussing was originally applied to reduce ships' magnetic signatures during World War II. Degaussing is also used to reduce magnetic fields in tape recorders and cathode-ray tube displays, and to destroy data held on magnetic storage.

Mamai
Mamai (Mongolian: Мамай; Tatar: Мамай, romanized: Mamay; 1325?–1380/1381) was a powerful Turco-Mongol military commander who held the rank of beylerbey in the Golden Horde. He was from the Kiyat clan. Contrary to popular misconception, he was not a khan (king), but was a kingmaker for several khans, and dominated parts or all of the Golden Horde for almost two decades in the 1360s and 1370s. Although he was unable to stabilize central authority during the 14th-century Golden Horde war of succession known as the Great Troubles, Mamai remained a remarkable and persistent leader for decades, while others came and went in rapid succession. His defeat in the Battle of Kulikovo by an alliance of the Russian principalities marked the beginning of the decline of the Horde, as well as his own rapid downfall.

War of succession
A war of succession is prompted by a succession crisis in which two or more individuals claim to be the rightful successor to a deceased or deposed monarch. The rivals are typically supported by factions within the royal court. Foreign powers sometimes intervene, allying themselves with a faction. This may widen the war into one between those powers.

Wars of succession were some of the most prevalent types of wars by cause throughout human history, but the replacement of absolute monarchies by an international order based on democracy with constitutional monarchies or republics ended almost all such wars by 1900.
