Anonymus Londinensis

The paprus was found in Egypt. It ranks as the most important surviving medical papyrus and provides important information about the history of Greek medical thought. ''On Medicine'' While only fragments survive of some portions of the text, the papyrus containing the work of Anonymus Londinensis is exceptionally well preserved, with 3.5 meters of the roll largely intact, containing almost 2,000 lines of text in 39 columns.

Anti-submarine Mortar
Anti-submarine mortars are artillery pieces deployed on ships for the purpose of sinking submarines by a direct hit with a small explosive charge. They are often larger versions of the Mortar (weapon), mortar used by infantry and fire a projectile in relatively the same manner. They were created during World War II as a development of the depth charge and work on the same principle. Beginnings Anti-submarine warfare did not become an issue of great concern until World War I, when Germany used submarines in an attempt to strangle British shipping in the Atlantic Ocean and elsewhere. The earliest way to counter a submarine was in the form of depth charges, which were large canisters filled with explosives, rolled off the back of a ship and detonated by a hydrostatic fuze. Depth charges served well throughout World War I but were not without flaws. A ship had to pass directly over a submarine to score an effective hit, and as such, depth charges were dropped in lines instead of mor ...

Meno
''Meno'' (; , ''Ménōn'') is a Socratic dialogue written by Plato around 385 BC., but set at an earlier date around 402 BC. Meno begins the dialogue by asking Socrates whether virtue (in , '' aretē'') can be taught, acquired by practice, or comes by nature. In order to determine whether virtue is teachable or not, Socrates tells Meno that they first need to determine what virtue is. When the characters speak of virtue, or ''aretē'', they refer to virtue in general, rather than particular virtues, such as justice or temperance. The first part of the work showcases Socratic dialectical style; Meno, unable to adequately define virtue, is reduced to confusion or aporia. Socrates suggests that they seek an adequate definition for virtue together. In response, Meno suggests that it is impossible to seek what one does not know, because one will be unable to determine whether one has found it. Socrates challenges Meno's argument, often called "Meno's Paradox", "Learner's Parado ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Menon IV Of Pharsalus
Menon (; died 321 BC) was a citizen of Pharsalus in Thessaly, and a man of great influence and reputation. He took a prominent part in the Lamian war, and commanded the Thessalian cavalry in the Battle of Melitaea. Plutarch states that Menon's services were highly valued by the confederates, and that he held a place in their estimation second only to Leosthenes. At the Battle of Crannon (322 BC), he and Antiphilus the Athenian, were defeated by Antipater and Craterus, though the Thessalian horse under his command maintained its superiority over that of the enemy during the action. Menon and Antiphilus then felt compelled to open negotiations with the conquerors, which led to the dissolution of the Greek confederacy. When Antipater was obliged to cross over to Asia to take on Perdiccas, the Aetolians renewed the war, and were zealously supported in Thessaly by Menon, through whose influence it was probable that most of the Thessalian towns were induced to take part in the ...

Nair
The Nair (, ) also known as Nayar, are a group of Indian Hindu castes, described by anthropologist Kathleen Gough as "not a unitary group but a named category of castes". The Nair include several castes and many subdivisions, not all of whom historically bore the name 'Nair'. Fuller (1975) p. 309 These people lived, and many continue to live, in the area which is now the Indian state of Kerala. Their internal caste behaviours and systems are markedly different between the people in the northern and southern sections of the area, although there is not very much reliable information on those inhabiting the north. Fuller (1975) p. 284 Historically, Nairs lived in large family units called '' tharavads'' that housed descendants of one common female ancestor. These family units along with their unusual marriage customs, which are no longer practiced, have been much studied. Although the detail varied from one region to the next, the main points of interest to researchers of Nair marr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
