In genealogy and in phylogenetic studies of evolutionary biology , antecedents or antecessors are predecessors in a family line. For example, one is the descendant of their grandparents, who are one s antecedents. This term has particular utility in evolutionary coalescent theory , which models the process of genetic drift in reverse time. ref Citation last Harding first Rosalind, M. chapter New phylogenies an introductory look at the coalescent. year 1998 title New uses for new phylogenies publisher Oxford University Press publication date 1998 isbn 0198549849 editor last Nee editor first S ref The antonym of antecedent is Lineal descendant descendant .

TWCleanup In genealogy , a cadet is a younger son , as opposed to the firstborn heir . Compare puisne . Etymology The word is recorded in English language English since 1634, originally for a young son, identical to the French language French , which is itself derived from the gascon language gascon Occitan spoken in Gascony in southwest France capdet captain, chief , in turn from the Late Latin capitellum , the diminutive of Latin caput head hence also chief . Younger sons from Gascon families apparently were commonly sent to the French court to serve as officers as a rule non heirs from the European nobility sought careers in the military or the clergy. Usage As an adjective, cadet is used to signify a junior branch of a family. Thus, the House of Orl ans Orl ans line was a cadet branch of the House of Bourbon Bourbon family. For the status as such, the noun cadency exists, as in the heraldry heraldic term mark of cadency for a feature which distinguishes a cadet son s coat of arms from the father s which is passed on unaltered only to the usually firstborn heir. Military has been the traditional career choice of the nobility throughout the centuries, and it has been customary that the firstborn son has inherited the title, lands and possessions, while the younger sons of a noble family went to military, often to be trained as officers. Hence the meaning cadet branch for a junior branch of a family and the term cadet for an officer trainee.

Unreferenced date August 2009 Fantasy genealogies are Mythology myth ical, fictional or Lie Fabrication fabricate d Pedigree chart pedigree s, usually to enhance the status of the descendant. Many claimed ancestries are considered by modern scholars to be fabrications, especially the claims of kings and emperors who trace their ancestry to gods or the founders of their civilization. Such pedigrees also have a moral message to their subjects, allies and enemies. Some national epics or holy scriptures associate success, blessing and good with the rightful dynasty and wars, catastrophes and diseases with usurper rulers. In this moralism, fictional genealogies have analogies with allegory , fable and parable . For example, chroniclers of Germanic people s traced the ancestry of their kings back to the god W den Wotan Woden , Odin . If such descents were true, Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom Queen Elizabeth II would be a descendant of Woden, via the kings of Wessex .

Compared to the Glan Thompson prism, the Glan Foucault has a narrower acceptance angle over which it will work, but because it uses an air gap rather than cement, much higher irradiance s can be used without damage. The prism can thus be used with laser beams. The prism is also shorter for a given usable aperture than the Glan Thompson design, and the deflection angle of the rejected beam can be made close to 90 , which is sometimes useful. Glan Foucault prisms are not typically used as polarizing beamsplitters because while the transmitted beam is 100 polarized, the reflected beam is not. The Glan Taylor prism is very similar, except that the crystal axes and transmitted polarization direction are orthogonal to the Glan Foucault design. This yields higher transmission, and better polarization of the reflected light. ref name Fan cite ...

He made his stage debut in 1978 working with a French Theatre Company touring Mauritius . During his first theatrical season, Milko played a small part in the world premiere of Mauritian Operetta Surcouf , performed at the Port Louis Municipal Theatre with French tenor Jose Todaro in the title role . Other operettas during that season include Die Cs rd sf rstin The Gipsy Princess , The Count of Luxemburg, The Merry Widow and La Route Fleurie. In that same year, Milko made his debut on Mauritian Television singing the French song J attendrai, which was made famous by Edith Piaf .

Postsexual term also refers to a broader effort to exceed the sexual and non sexual boundaries in culture either in theoretical considerations or in social practices. From a postsexual point of view, the division between sexual and non sexual is arbitrary, and it is not possible to measure the authenticity of any kind of interactions between people. Therefore, it is central to the postsexual way of life to escape this division and the associated confessions , or alternatively to criticize this division, and related social confessional rituals by means of irony or parody. Postsexual practices Postgender Association in Finland sought to express the prevailing sexual classifications by questioning practices, for example by introducing new words such as tobaccomonogamy or partial relationship . ref Vainio, Janne March, 1998 .

Several vector geometric vector diagrams are often used to demonstrate the physics underlying the Foucault pendulum . Diagrams are provided to illustrate a pendulum located at the North Pole , equator , and 45th parallel north 45 degrees N to show how the rotation of Earth in relation to the pendulum is observed, or not, at these locations. This is not a rigorous evaluation but is intended to convey information regarding the interaction of the two moving objects, the swinging pendulum and the rotating Earth. One of the great insights by L on Foucault is that the time to observe a full rotation of the Earth increased by the inverse of the sine of the latitude. In the examples, the pendulums are of great size to aid in the visualization of the pendulum swing in relation to the Earth shown as blue circles . The pendulum is drawn so that 90 degrees of pendulum arc sweeps out 90 degrees of arc on the surface of the Earth. Views from the side, the front, and above right, center, left are provided to aid in the interpretation of the diagrams and arrows are provided to show the direction of the Earth s rotation.

Unreferenced date October 2008 The genealogy of musical genres is the pattern of music genre musical genres that have contributed to the development of new genres. Image Genealogy cuban music.png thumb right Genealogy of Cuban music genealogy Genealogical charts or family trees of musical genres show how new genres have emerged from existing genres and how multiple genres have contributed to a new genre. Since music can be endlessly broken down into smaller and smaller categories, a genealogical chart will usually focus on one major genre and its different strains. For instance, jazz is considered to be a genre with many sub genres, including New Orleans jazz, ragtime, swing, bebop, free jazz, and Latin jazz. How these developed out of one another is shown in a genealogical chart, often with major figures or innovators of each sub genre. A genealogy of genres may also incorporate several major genres, such as jazz, rock and roll and folk music . The image accompanying this article shows how numerous Cuban music al styles have developed out of many other genres including some from Europe, Africa, the US, Latin America and other Caribbean countries. While focusing on Cuban music, the image also shows the genealogy of many popular music genres since the 18th century. The family tree of music can also be explored by starting at the article for your favourite genre, and clicking on the items in the stylistic origins, subgenres, derivative forms, and fusion genres sections of the genre infobox.
