Ares

Ares (; , Áres ) is the Greek god of war .

He is one of the Twelve Olympians , the son of Zeus and Hera .

In Greek literature , he often represents the physical or violent and untamed aspect of war , in contrast to his sister the armored Athena , whose functions as a goddess of intelligence include military strategy and generalship .

The Greeks were toward Ares : although he embodied the physical valor necessary for success in war , he was a dangerous force , " overwhelming , insatiable in battle , destructive , and man - slaughtering . "

His sons Phobos ( Fear ) and Deimos ( Terror ) and his lover , or sister , Enyo ( Discord ) accompanied him on his war chariot .

In the Iliad , his father Zeus tells him that he is the god most hateful to him .

An association with Ares endows places and objects with a savage , dangerous , or militarized quality .

His value as a war god is placed in doubt : during the Trojan War , Ares was on the losing side , while Athena , often depicted in Greek art as holding Nike ( Victory ) in her hand , favoured the triumphant Greeks .

Ares plays a relatively limited role in Greek mythology as represented in literary narratives , though his numerous love affairs and abundant offspring are often alluded to .

When Ares does appear in myths , he typically faces humiliation .

He is well known as the lover of Aphrodite , the goddess of love , who was married to Hephaestus , god of craftsmanship .

The most famous story related to Ares and Aphrodite shows them exposed to ridicule through the wronged husband 's device .

The counterpart of Ares among the Roman gods is Mars , who as a father of the Roman people was given a more important and dignified place in ancient Roman religion as a guardian deity .

During the Hellenization of Latin literature , the myths of Ares were reinterpreted by Roman writers under the name of Mars .

Greek writers under Roman rule also recorded cult practices and beliefs pertaining to Mars under the name of Ares .

Thus in the classical tradition of later Western art and literature , the mythology of the two figures becomes virtually indistinguishable .

Beta cloth

Beta cloth is a type of fireproof silica fiber cloth used in the manufacture of Apollo / Skylab A7L space suits , the Apollo Thermal Micrometeoroid Garment , the McDivitt Purse , and in other specialized applications .

Beta cloth consists of fine woven silica fiber , similar to fiberglass .

The resulting fabric will not burn , and will melt only at temperatures exceeding .

To reduce its tendency to crease or tear when manipulated , and to increase durability , the fibers are coated with Teflon .

A tight weave of Beta cloth makes it more durable against atomic oxygen exposure .

Its ability to resist atomic oxygen exposure makes it commonly used as the outer - most layer in multi - layer insulation for space , and it was used significantly on the Space Shuttle and the International Space Station .

It was implemented in NASA space suits after the deadly 1967 Apollo 1 launch pad fire , in which the astronauts ' nylon suits burned through .

After the fire , NASA demanded any potentially flammable materials were to be removed from both the spacecraft and space suits .

Beta cloth was developed by a Manned Spacecraft Center team led by Frederick S. Dawn and including Matthew I. Radnofsky working with the Owens - Corning and DuPont companies .

Where additional wear resistance was needed , external patches of Chromel - R metallic cloth were used .

Beta cloth was used as the material for the Skylab shower enclosure .

The interior of the Space Shuttle payload bay was almost completely covered with Beta cloth .

This helps protect while staying open for weeks at a time in space .

Some Beta cloth is used on MSL 's rover Curiosity .

Guy, Duke of Sorrento

Guy (; born c. 1012 ) was the duke of Sorrento from 1035 , the brother of Guaimar IV of Salerno , father - in - law of William Iron Arm and William of the Principate , and brother - in - law of Humphrey of Hauteville .

He was the son of Guaimar III and Gaitelgrima .

Guy 's place in history is secured primarily through his relations ( by blood and marriage ) , though his own actions were not inconsequential .

According to John Julius Norwich , he was a " selfless " prince , exhibiting a " moral sense rare for [ his ] time and position . "

His brother conquered Sorrento in 1035 and bestowed it on him as a duchy .

He was a constant supporter of his brother and the Normans during the former 's reign and he counted the mercenaries as allies when , upon the assassination of Guaimar , his family , including his nephew , the Salernitan heir , was rounded up by the assassins and imprisoned , he being the only one to escape .

He quickly flew to the Normans of Melfi , whom he paid highly for aid .

He brought them back with his own Sorrentine army to besiege Salerno , wherein the conspirators had fortified themselves .

Guy had soon captured all of the conspirators ' families and had negotiated the release of his nephew , Gisulf .

Guy accepted their surrender soon after and promised them no harm .

The Normans , not bound , they said , by Guy 's oath , massacred the four brothers and 36 others , one for each stab wound found in Guaimar 's body .

Guy enthroned his nephew and he and his Normans , who would have preferred Guy as prince , did immediate homage to him .

Nevertheless , Gisulf was thankless to his Norman vassals and grew to be a piratical neighbour to all in Southern Italy .

His principality was constantly picked away and he ignored the advice of his uncle Guy counselling moderation .

Guy remained forever loyal to the Hauteville leadership , however .

In 1073 , he captured the rebel Herman , his own nephew , and handed him over to Robert Guiscard , his nephew - in - law .

Guy died amidst the breakup of the great principality his brother had forged and he had preserved .

With his death , Sorrento became independent once more .

Subaltern (postcolonialism)

In critical theory and postcolonialism , the term subaltern designates the populations which are socially , politically , and geographically outside of the hegemonic power structure of the colony and of the colonial homeland .

In describing " history told from below " , subaltern was coined by Antonio Gramsci , notably through his work on cultural hegemony , which identified the groups that are excluded from a society 's established institutions and thus denied the means by which people have a voice in their society .

The terms subaltern and Subaltern Studies entered postcolonial studies through the works of the Subaltern Studies Group , a collection of historians of the Indian Subcontinent who explored the political - actor role of the men and women who constitute the mass population , rather than the political roles of the social and economic elites , in the history of the Indian Subcontinent .

Marxist historians had already been investigating colonial history as told from the perspective of the proletariat , using the concept of social classes as being determined by economic relations .

In the 1970s , subaltern began to denote the colonized peoples of the Indian subcontinent and described a new perspective of the history of an imperial colony as told from the point of view of the colonized rather than that of the colonizers .

In the 1980s , the scope of enquiry of Subaltern Studies was applied as an " intervention in South Asian historiography " .

As a method of intellectual discourse , the concept of the subaltern is contentious because it originated as a Eurocentric method of historical enquiry for studying the non - Western people of Africa , Asia , and the Middle East .

From its inception as an historical - research model for studying the colonial experience of the peoples of the Indian Subcontinent , subaltern studies transformed from a model of intellectual discourse into a method of " vigorous post - colonial critique " .

The term " subaltern " is used in the fields of history , anthropology , sociology , human geography , literary criticism , musicology , and art history .

Descent of Mary

The Descent of Mary ( Γεννα Μαριας or " Genna Marias " ) is a minor work of the New Testament apocrypha which is only known through mention in the Panarion of Epiphanius of Salamis , who gives a short passage .

Epiphanius attributes the tale to the Gnostics .

The excerpt purports to be the story about the death of Zechariah , the father of John the Baptist , who is supposed to have seen a vision of a man " in the form of an ass " while burning incense in the temple .

When he emerges , he is unable to speak at first , but when he is able to relate the vision , those about him kill him .

The story is consonant with other Gnostic writings and depiction of Gnostic thought in the writings of Origen , as well as with the Gospel of James ; but there is no other testimony to this particular tale .

Scholars have suggested a 2nd - century date to the text .

Johannes de Sacrobosco

Johannes de Sacrobosco , also written Ioannis de Sacro Bosco ( 1195 – 1256 ) , was a scholar , monk and astronomer who was a teacher at the University of Paris .

He wrote a short introduction to the Hindu - Arabic numeral system which became the most widely read introduction to that subject in the later medieval centuries ( judging from the number of manuscript copies that survive today ) .

He also wrote a short astronomy textbook , Tractatus de Sphaera , which was widely read and influential in Europe during the later medieval centuries as an introduction to astronomy .

In his longest and most original book , Sacrobosco correctly described the defects of the then - used Julian calendar , and , three centuries before its implementation , recommended a solution much like the modern Gregorian calendar .

Very little is known about the education and biography of Sacrobosco .

For one thing , his year of death has been guessed at 1236 , 1244 , and 1256 , each of which is plausible and each lacking adequate evidence .

Syrets (Kiev Metro)

Syrets ( ) is a Kiev Metro station on the Syretsko - Pecherska Line .

Opened in 2004 , it is the northwestern terminus .

Traditionally all of the Metro stations in Kiev were built in several stages including a few stations each ( sometimes delivered in various segments ) .

The Syretsky radius was started in the early 1990s , in the midst of economic hardships as a result of which , not only was it many years behind schedule it was also very slow to open new stations .

Syrets was originally to be the fifth station on the radius , but as Lvivska Brama never opened and Vulytsia Hertsena was left as a provision , it became the third on the radius when it opened to the public on 14 October 2004 .

The station is not in the vicinity of houses , but is right next to the Syrets railway platform , and as a result most of its passengers are commuters coming from further northwestern districts of the city rather than local residents ( which was its original intention ) .

Designed by architect T. Tselikovskaya , the station is a standard design deep level pylon trivault , but the first in Kiev to exhibit a new high - tech approach to the design of the stations , over the previous vivid decorations that were inherited from the Soviet times .

As a result , the station 's walls and the perfectly square pylons are faced with grey marble , and the floor with red and grey granite .

Contrasting to that are bright red metallic stripes that run on the lower side of the station wall and on the pylon and intervault wall of the platform and central hall .

England's Happiness in the Crowning of William and Mary

England 's Happiness in the Crowning of William and Mary is an English broadside ballad composed in 1689 and takes as its primary focus the coronation of William III of England and Mary II of England .

William III and Mary II 's coregency began in February 1689 when the Convention Parliament , summoned by William after his invasion of England in 1689 , offered him the crown .

Though this ballad never comments explicitly on William and Mary 's 1689 penning of the English Bill of Rights , it nevertheless focuses heavily on one specific component of the act , namely the reestablishment of Protestant liberty , as William III and Mary II were both Protestants : " For a Protestant King and a Protestant Queen , / The like in old England long time hath not been .

Françoise Prévost

Françoise Prévost ( c. 1680 – 1741 ) was a French ballerina who helped establish dramatic dance in the early world of classical ballet .

She was expressive , light and dramatic in style .

Prevost debuted at the Académie d'Opera in the ballet , Atys , later replacing Marie - Thérèse de Subligny as the female lead .

In 1708 , she performed with Jean Balon in the final scene of Corneille 's Les Horaces .

The performance , though only of the final scene of the play and entirely in pantomime , is said to have caused the audience to weep .

The " pantomime " came from the popular theaters of the time and freely used bold gestures and body language to communicate the narrative to the audience .

The goal was to convey a story of meaning using purely movement , without spoken word .

Maintaining her interest in the dramatic potential of dance , Prevost created a famous solo in 1714 called " Les Caracteres de la Danse . "

Choreographed to a suite of dances by composer Jean Ferry Rebel , the " characters " depicted a series of lovers of varying ages and sexes , and Prevost enacted each one to a different piece of music : the bourree , the menuet , the passepied .

She taught this solo to her two most accomplished female students : Marie Camargo and Marie Sallé .

Camargo was the first to learn the solo for her debut at the Paris Opera .

Her growing success incited jealousy in Prevost , and she relegated Camargo to the corps de ballet .

One day however , Camargo made an spectacular impromptu improvisation solo for a missing male dancer .

The arrival of Marie Salle , and her dramatic recreation of the famous solo into a pas de deux of rich emotional interaction , highlighted the different approaches to dance of the period : technical flash verses dramatic depth .

Prevost retired as première danseuse in 1730 , being replaced by her students .

Pierre Victor, baron de Besenval de Brünstatt

Pierre Victor , baron de Besenval de Brünstatt ( 1722 – 1794 ) was the last commander of the Swiss Guards in France .

Born at Solothurn , he was the son of Jean Victor de Besenval , colonel of the regiment of Swiss Guards in the pay of France , who was charged in 1707 by Louis XIV with a mission to Sweden to reconcile Charles XII with the tsar Peter the Great , and to unite them in alliance with France against England .

Pierre Victor served at first as aide - de - camp to Marshall Broglie during the campaign of 1748 in Bohemia , then as aide - de - camp to the duke of Orleans during the Seven Years ' War .

He then became commander of the Swiss Guards .

When the French Revolution began de Besenval remained firmly attached to the royal court and he was given command of the troops which the king had concentrated in Paris in July 1789 , a move which led to the storming of the Bastille on 14 July 1789 .

Besenval showed incompetence in the crisis , and attempted to flee .

He was arrested , tried by the tribunal of the Châtelet , but acquitted .

He then fell into obscurity and died in Paris in 1794 .

The baron de Besenval de Brünstatt is principally known as the author of his Mémoires , which were published in 1805 to 1807 by the vicomte de Ségur , who was said to be his actual son , in which are reported many scandalous tales , true or false , of the court of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette .

Jeff Davis (Arkansas governor)

Jeff Davis ( born Jefferson Davis ; May 6 , 1862 – January 3 , 1913 ) was a Democratic politician who served as the 20th Governor of Arkansas from 1901 to 1907 and in the United States Senate from 1907 to 1913 .

He took office as one of Arkansas 's first New South governors and proved to be one of the state 's most polarizing figures .

Davis used his silver tongue and aptitude for demagoguery to exploit existing feelings of agrarian frustration among poor rural white farmers and thus build a large populist appeal .

However , since Davis often blamed city - dwellers , blacks and Yankees for problems on the farm , the state was quickly and ardently split into " pro - Davis " or " anti - Davis " factions .

Davis began his political career as Arkansas Attorney General , where he immediately began making political waves .

His office challenged the legality of the Kimball State House Act and made an extremely controversial extraterritorial interpretation of the Rector Antitrust Act .

His fight to prevent trusts from doing business in Arkansas and the extreme lengths he went to enforce his opinion would be a common theme throughout his political career .

He gained credibility among the poor rural whites who would become his base .

Davis ' three two - year terms as Arkansas Governor " produced more politics than government " , but he did gain construction of a new state house and reformed the penal system .

An almost - constant series of scandals and outrageous behavior characterized his time in office , which followed him when he won election to the United States Senate in 1906 .

Davis is often classified with such populist politicians as Benjamin Tillman , Robert Love Taylor , Thomas E. Watson , James K. Vardaman , Coleman Livingston Blease , and later Huey Long , controversial figures known as part - Southern demagogues , part - populists and part - political bosses .

Environmental subsystem

Environmental subsystems are central components of operating systems of the Windows NT type .

They allow the operating system to run software developed for the platform in question .

For example , Windows NT 4.0 has four environmental subsystems , viz Win32 , DOS or Win16 , OS/2 , and POSIX , the latter of which is a Unix standard .

The latter resides primarily in the Dynamic Link Library posix.dll .

The environmental subsystems are one part of the strategy Microsoft developed for making the Windows NT stream of operating systems a hub for multi - platform computing Others include four Hardware Abstraction layers , one for Intel processors , three for RISC processors ( DEC Alpha , PowerPC , Mips ) , and a driver for the HPFS , the standard for OS/2 .

Since Windows 2000 , the FAT32 file system first introduced with Windows 95 has also been present , with HPFS deprecated then being omitted in later systems .

A third - party driver for FAT32 can be used on the earlier NT operating systems .

Therefore , Windows NT as of version 4.0 had a default of four file systems ( NTFS , HPFS , FAT12 , and FAT16 ) , and installations of the system with a driver allowing access to a fifth FAT32 ) are very common , and tools allowing access to Unix file systems are also in existence .

Interoperability with Novell Netware is generally implemented at the applications and systems programming level rather than at the kernel and data link layer and therefore further from the physical hardware .

The Spirits Book

The Spirits Book ( Le Livre des Esprits in original French ) is part of the Spiritist Codification , and is regarded as one of the five fundamental works of Spiritism .

It was published by the French educator Allan Kardec on April 18 , 1857 .

It was the first and remains the most important spiritist book , because it addresses in first hand all questions developed subsequently by Allan Kardec .

The book is structured as a collection of questions regarding the origin of the spirits , the purpose of the life , the order of the universe , evil and good and the afterlife .

Its answers , according to Kardec , were given to him by a group of spirits who identified themselves as " The Spirit of Truth " , with whom he communicated in several Spiritist sessions during the 1850s .

Kardec , who considered himself an " organizer " rather than an author , grouped the questions and their answers by theme , occasionally including lengthier digressions the spirits had dictated to him on specific subjects , some signed by philosophers such as Augustine of Hippo and Thomas Aquinas and writers including Voltaire .
