Custos (Franciscans)
Custos () means a religious superior or an official in the Franciscan Order. The precise meaning has differed over time, and among the Friars Minor, Conventuals, and Capuchins. Description Francis of Assisi sometimes applied the word to any superior in the Order: Guardians, Ministers Provincial, and even to the Minister General. Sometimes he restricts it to officials presiding over a certain number of friaries in the larger provinces of the Order with restricted powers and subject to their respective Ministers Provincial. It is in this latter sense that he refers to the ''custodes'' as having power, conjointly with the Provincials, to elect and to depose the Minister General. The friaries over which a ''custos'' (in this latter sense) presided were collectively called a custody (). The number of custodies in a province varied according to its size. Already at an early period it was deemed expedient that only one of the several ''custodes'' of a province should proceed to the Gen ...

AB Custos
AB Custos is a Sweden, Swedish investment company. In 2004, it came under the control of investors Mats Qviberg and Sven Hagströmer and was merged with their investment company Investment AB Öresund, before being subsequently demerged. The largest shareholder was the chairman, Jonas Wahlström. The firm was rebooted in 2008 and has since acquired several companies, including Metro International in 2017 and Realtid.se. History The Kreuger crash of 1932 resulted in several banks experiencing serious liquidity problems. This led to a change in legislation whereby the Swedish commercial banks lost their right to acquire shares from the turn of the year 1933/1934. This prohibitive legislation also meant that previously acquired shares held by the banks had to be sold by December 31, 1937, with the exception of shares that could not be sold at a loss. The Kreuger group's large bank loans now meant that large shareholdings in the former financial empire ended up in the hands of the ba ...

Direct (music Symbol)
A direct, also referred to by some English speaking musicians by its Italian name guida, its French name guidon, its German name wächter, or its Latin name custos, is a musical symbol used in music notation to indicate the first note on the next staff (music), staff of the following page. Similar to a catchword in literary works, the direct symbol assists musicians with knowing which note is coming next during a page turn. The symbol was first used in the 11th century; sometime in place of a clef (music), clef on the next line. It was later adopted into mensural notation of the 13th through 17th centuries. Though a less commonly seen symbol in modern notation, it is still used by some composers today. Some contemporary publications utilize the direct symbol to indicate a continuation rather than as a reference to a specific upcoming pitch (music), pitch. In these cases the symbol's meaning is comparable to an et cetera in writing. When a mordent is used the meaning of the symbol can ...

Quis Custodiet Ipsos Custodes?
is a Latin phrase found in the '' Satires'' (Satire VI, lines 347–348), a work of the 1st–2nd century Roman poet Juvenal. It may be translated as "Who will guard the guards themselves?" or "Who will watch the watchmen?". The original context deals with the problem of ensuring marital fidelity, though the phrase is now commonly used more generally to refer to the problem of controlling the actions of persons in positions of power, an issue discussed by Plato in the ''Republic''. It is not clear whether the phrase was written by Juvenal, or whether the passage in which it appears was interpolated into his works. Original context The phrase, as it is normally quoted in Latin, comes from the ''Satires'' of Juvenal, the 1st–2nd century Roman satirist. Although in its modern usage the phrase has wide-reaching applications to concepts such as tyrannical governments, uncontrollably oppressive dictatorships, and police or judicial corruption and overreach, in context within Juv ...
