Chokmah (album)
''Chokmah'' (Hebrew: חכמה for "wisdom", also transliterated as ''chokma'', ''chokhmah'' or ''hokhmah'') is a studio album of German pop singer Nena, released in 2001. It received mixed reviews, the majority being positive. It spawned one successful single, "Carpe diem", and foreshadowed the comeback Nena achieved with her next album, '' Nena feat. Nena''. Background During the 1990s Nena had released four rock and pop studio albums which had failed to bring her anything approaching the commercial success she had enjoyed in the 1980s. Nena had written several songs between 1999 and 2001 and originally planned to record them for her upcoming album. However, Florian Sitzmann convinced her to start composing new songs with him, which resulted in an album that was quite different from her past material. In the end, two songs from Nena's original plan ("Ich hör mir zu" and "Dafür ist das Leben zu kurz") were recorded for the album and two further songs ("Kann schon sein" and "Si ...

1 (one, unit, unity) is a number representing a single or the only entity. 1 is also a numerical digit and represents a single unit of counting or measurement. For example, a line segment of ''unit length'' is a line segment of length 1. In conventions of sign where zero is considered neither positive nor negative, 1 is the first and smallest positive integer. It is also sometimes considered the first of the infinite sequence of natural numbers, followed by 2, although by other definitions 1 is the second natural number, following 0. The fundamental mathematical property of 1 is to be a multiplicative identity, meaning that any number multiplied by 1 equals the same number. Most if not all properties of 1 can be deduced from this. In advanced mathematics, a multiplicative identity is often denoted 1, even if it is not a number. 1 is by convention not considered a prime number; this was not universally accepted until the mid-20th century. Additionally, 1 is the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Carpe Diem
is a Latin aphorism, usually translated "seize the day", taken from book 1 of the Roman poet Horace's work ''Odes'' (23 BC). Translation is the second-person singular present active imperative of '' carpō'' "pick or pluck" used by Horace to mean "enjoy, seize, use, make use of". ''Diem'' is the accusative of ''dies'' "day". A more literal translation of would thus be "pluck the day s it is ripe—that is, enjoy the moment. It has been argued by various authors that this interpretation is closer to Horace's original meaning. History Sources Text from ''Odes'' 1.11: In ancient literature Perhaps the first written expression of the concept is the advice given by Siduri to Gilgamesh, telling him to forgo his mourning and embrace life, although some scholars see it as simply urging Gilgamesh to abandon his mourning, "reversing the liminal rituals of mourning and returning to the normal and normative behaviors of Mesopotamian society." Meaning In Horace, the phrase is part ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
