Bauernfeind
Bauernfeind (variant ''Bauerfeind'') is a German surname. It originates as a byname, literally "peasants' enemy", in the late medieval period, before that (12th century) a comparable ''Geburenhasz'' is on record. The form ''Geburnvint'' is found in the poem Der Renner () as a generic byname of "villains". Historical spelling variants include ''Pawrnfeynt, Pawrveint, Gebure vient''. Specific individuals with the byname are on record in the 15th century, so Heintz von Redwitz. Later, the byname was generically applied to men-at-arms or Landsknechte who chastised the peasant population in the service of a feudal lord. The gradual development into a surname takes place in the course of the 16th century. The name has survived into the contemporary period, with currently (as of 2013) 748 entries in the German phonebook, the greatest concentration of people with the name found in Bavaria, and 398 entries for the variant ''Bauerfeind'', with a concentration in North Rhine-Westphalia.

Bauernfeind Prism
A Bauernfeind prism is a type of reflecting prism used to deviate a beam of light by 45° to 60°, depending on its construction, while neither flipping nor rotating the image. It is named for its inventor, the German expert of geodesy Karl Maximilian von Bauernfeind. The beam is reflected twice in the prism, with one reflection happening at less than the critical angle. Therefore, the prism requires a reflective coating for this surface to be usable in practice. A Bauernfeind prism with 45° beam deviation is also known as a half-penta prism or semipentaprism. A Bauernfeind prism is used together with a Schmidt roof prism to form a Schmidt–Pechan prism. Applications The Bauernfeind prism is commonly used in microscope tubes and in geodesy to deviate the path to the eyepiece An eyepiece, or ocular lens, is a type of lens that is attached to a variety of optical devices such as telescopes and microscopes. It is named because it is usually the lens that is closest to th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

United States Special Operations Command
The United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM or SOCOM) is the unified combatant command charged with overseeing the various special operations component commands of the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, and Air Force of the United States Armed Forces. The command is part of the Department of Defense and is the only unified combatant command created by an Act of Congress. USSOCOM is headquartered at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida. The idea of an American unified special operations command had its origins in the aftermath of Operation Eagle Claw, the disastrous attempted rescue of hostages at the American embassy in Iran in 1980. The ensuing investigation, chaired by Admiral James L. Holloway III, the retired Chief of Naval Operations, cited lack of command and control and inter-service coordination as significant factors in the failure of the mission. Since its activation on 16 April 1987, U.S. Special Operations Command has participated in many operation ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Road Bicycle Racing
Road bicycle racing is the cycle sport discipline of road cycling, held primarily on paved roads. Road racing is the most popular professional form of bicycle racing, in terms of numbers of competitors, events and spectators. The two most common competition formats are mass start events, where riders start simultaneously (though sometimes with a handicap) and race to a set finish point; and time trials, where individual riders or teams race a course alone against the clock. Stage races or "tours" take multiple days, and consist of several mass-start or time-trial stages ridden consecutively. Professional racing originated in Western Europe, centred in France, Spain, Italy and the Low Countries. Since the mid-1980s, the sport has diversified, with races held at the professional, semi-professional and amateur levels, worldwide. The sport is governed by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI). As well as the UCI's annual World Championships for men and women, the biggest even ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

German Surname
Personal names in German-speaking Europe consist of one or several given names (''Vorname'', plural ''Vornamen'') and a surname (''Nachname, Familienname''). The ''Vorname'' is usually gender-specific. A name is usually cited in the " Western order" of "given name, surname", unless it occurs in an alphabetized list of surnames, e.g. "Bach, Johann Sebastian". In this, the German conventions parallel the naming conventions in most of Western and Central Europe, including English, Dutch, Italian, and French. There are some vestiges of a patronymic system as they survive in parts of Eastern Europe and Scandinavia, but these do not form part of the official name. Women traditionally adopted their husband's name upon marriage and would occasionally retain their maiden name by hyphenation, in a so-called ''Doppelname'', e.g. " Else Lasker-Schüler". Recent legislation motivated by gender equality now allows a married couple to choose the surname they want to use, including an option ...
