Latin place names The Ancient Romans gave Latin names to every geographical entity in their vast empire, and many outside throughout the then known world while many of these names were based on pre existing autochthonous names, sometimes translating, more often just adapting to their tongue, especially the ending, other names were the result of a more invasive decision, especially in case of re founding for a colony of veterans. Users of Neo Latin have taken the Latin language to places the Rome Romans never went hence a need arose to make Latin names of islands that were not known to the Ancient Romans.

dablink This article is about the astronomer and mathematician. For other uses, see Calippus . Callippus or Calippus lang el ca. 370 BC ca. 300 BC was a Greek astronomy Greek astronomer and mathematician . Callippus was born at Cyzicus , and studied under Eudoxus of Cnidus at the Academy of Plato . He also worked with Aristotle at the Lyceum , which means that he was active in Athens prior to Aristotle s death in 322. He observed the movements of the planets and attempted to use Eudoxus scheme of connected spheres to account for their movements. However he found that 27 spheres was insufficient to account for the planetary movements, and so he added seven more for a total of 34. According to the description in Aristotle s Metaphysics Aristotle Metaphysics XII.8 , he added two spheres for the Sun, two for the Moon, and one each for Mercury, Venus, and Mars. Callippus made careful measurements of the lengths of the seasons, finding them starting with the spring equinox to be 94 days, 92 days, 89 days, and 90 days. This variation in the seasons implies a variation in the speed of the Sun, called the solar anomaly . He also followed up on the work done by Meton of Athens to measure the length of the year and construct an accurate lunisolar calendar . The Metonic cycle has 19 tropical year s and 235 synodic month s in 6940 days. The Callippic cycle synchronizes days per orbit and rotations per orbit within the Metonic cycle, noting the difference of one after 4 Metonic cycles, a duration of 76 years. Distinguishing rotations and days infers knowledge of the precession cycle. Callippus started his observation cycle on the summer solstice, 330 BC, 28 June in the proleptic Julian calendar . The cycle s begin position, the stellar position and sidereal hour timing the eclipse, are used by later astronomers for calibrating their observations in relation to subsequent eclipses. The Callippic cycle of 76 years appears to be used in the Antikythera mechanism , an ancien ... more details
Image De Te We mp3h0651.jpg thumb Hamman Manus R A mechanical computer is built from machine mechanical components such as lever s and gears , rather than electronics electronic components. The most common examples are adding machine s and Counter Mechanical counters mechanical counters , which use the turning of gears to increment output displays. More complex examples can carry out multiplication and division, and even differential analyser differential analysis . Mechanical computer s reached their zenith during World War II, when they formed the basic of complex bombsight s including the Norden bombsight Norden , as well as the similar devices for ship computations such as the US Torpedo Data Computer or British Admiralty Fire Control Table . In the post war era, most complex examples were quickly replaced by electronic versions, an evolution that culminated in the 1970s with the introduction of inexpensive handheld electronic calculators. Noteworthy are mechanical flight instruments for early spacecraft, which provided their computed output not in the form of digits, but through the displacements of indicator surfaces. From Yuri Gagarin s first manned spaceflight until 2002, every manned Soviet and Russian spacecraft Vostok spacecraft Vostok , Voskhod spacecraft Voskhod and Soyuz spacecraft Soyuz was equipped with a Voskhod Spacecraft Globus IMP navigation instrument Globus instrument showing the apparent movement of the Earth under the spacecraft through the displacement of a miniature terrestrial globe , plus latitude and longitude indicators.

It was released on December 7, 2010. However, select songs were released early in the form of free downloads or pre order bonuses. History Imaginary Friends is the first Freezepop album to be released since the departure of Kasson Crooker The Duke of Pannekoeken and addition of Robert John Bananas Foster and Christmas Disco Marie Sagan. The album went on presale on November 26. People who preordered Imaginary Friends received an Instant Gratification Pack. This pack included five tracks two songs from Imaginary Friends, a remix of both those songs and a B side. Additionally, the band posted the song Magnetic on their website for free. Shortly before the presale went active, the song was pulled and replaced with Doppelg nger. Magnetic then became one of the two songs available in the Instant Gratification Pack. 1000 copies of the album were released as a limited edition double CD with autographs from the band and an extra disc called Secret Companion.
