Aquarius (astrology)

**Aquarius** is the eleventh astrological sign of the Zodiac. The name is from the constellation Aquarius. It is an air sign. The sun meets Aquarius from January 20 to February 18. It is ruled by Uranus (in modern astrology) and Saturn (in ancient astrology). It was based on the Sumerian god Enki, the god of water who was often drawn pouring water.

Traditionally, Aquarius is ruled by the planet Saturn (which it shares with Capricorn). In modern astrology, Uranus is also seen as its ruling planet. Aquarius is called a fixed air sign, and its opposite sign in the zodiac is Leo.

## Traditional relationships with Aquarius

- Birthstone= Amethyst
- Colour= Silver, white gold, copper

## Myth

The constellation Aquarius, shown as a water carrier, has different stories in ancient cultures. In Sumerian and Babylonian mythology, the water carrier was linked to the god Enki (also called Ea). In Greek mythology, the figure became Ganymede, a handsome youth from Phrygia. Ganymede was the son of Tros, the king of Troy (some stories say he was the son of Dardanus). One day, while Ganymede was looking after his father’s flocks on Mount Ida, Zeus, the king of the gods, saw him. Zeus came down to the mountain in the form of a giant bird and carried Ganymede up to the heavens. From that time, Ganymede became the cupbearer of the gods. The Roman poet Ovid included this story in his famous work, Metamorphoses, where Orpheus sings about Ganymede’s tale.

## Hindu astrology

In Hindu (Vedic) astrology, Aquarius is known as Kumbha Rāśi (कुम्भ राशि), representing the symbol of a water pot. Kumbha is ruled by the planet Shani (Saturn) and is considered a fixed, air sign. It is associated with qualities of innovation, humanitarianism, and persistence, similar to Western interpretations, but its predictive role is rooted in the sidereal zodiac system. The Kumbha Rāśi plays a key role in individual horoscopes (Janma Kundali), compatibility (Kundali Milan), and in timing rituals (Muhurta).
Roger Joseph Boscovich

**Roger Joseph Boscovich** (18 May 1711 - 13 February 1787) was a Croatian polymath and Jesuit from the city of Dubrovnik in the Republic of Ragusa (modern-day Croatia). He studied and lived in Italy and France, where he published many of his works.

He produced a precursor of atomic theory and made many contributions to astronomy. In 1753 he discovered the absence of atmosphere on the Moon.

In Vienna in 1758, he published the first edition of his famous work, _Philosophiæ naturalis theoria redacta ad unicam legem virium in natura existentium_ (_Theory of natural philosophy derived to the single law of forces which exist in nature_). It included his atomic theory and his theory of forces. A second edition was published in 1763 in Venice and a third again in Vienna in 1764. In 1922 it was published in London, and in 1966 in the United States. Another edition was published in Zagreb in 1974.

## Life

Boscovich was born in  Dubrovnik as the youngest of seven children. He joined the Jesuit school in Dubrovnik, leaving for Rome in 1725. In Rome he was under the care of 2 Jesuit priests whom introduced him to the Society of Jesus. In 1731, enrolled in college at Sant'Andrea delle Fratte. There, he studied mathematics and physics and in 1740 he was appointed professor of mathematics in the college.

Boscovich studied the transit of Mercury, the Aurora borealis, the figure of the Earth, the observation of the fixed stars, the inequalities in terrestrial gravitation, the application of mathematics to the theory of the telescope, the limits of certainty in astronomical observations, and various problems in solid geometry and spherical trigonometry.

In 1742 he and other scientists were consulted by Pope Benedict XIV, as to the best way of securing the structure of the dome of St. Peter's, Rome, in which a crack had been discovered. His suggested placing five iron bands and it was accepted.

In 1758, Roger Joseph Boscovich described a version of atomic theory. He explained the resistance of hard bodies as due to force rather than "hardness". "The primary elements of matter are in my opinion perfectly indivisible & non-extended points".

As a devoted Jesuit, Boscovich spent his life without ever getting married or having children.

Ventilation

**Ventilation** is the introduction of fresh air, usually from the outside, into a space, while sending stale air back out. Fans and pumps, vent grates and air flow tunnels are common in these structures.

The simplest systems are called “natural ventilation,” which usually means that they get their air circulation through vents opening to the outside. Mechanical systems are more popular for industry (like in factories). Mechanical systems are able to regulate other things, including temperature, relative humidity, and oxygen levels.

## Uses

Fresh air prevents issues like mold and bacteria growth, as well as the spread of disease. It helps eliminate dust, which can lead to cleaner living standards. Single rooms can sometimes be ventilated by opening a window or door, but this isn’t as successful for larger structures.

Ventilation usually collaborates with heating and cooling systems, but not always and they aren’t only limited to buildings. Vehicles frequently have ventilation systems that control air circulation and air quality.

## History

In ancient Persia, structures called windcatchers were built to create natural ventilation. These structures are a traditional method in Persia. They became very popular and are still in use across the Middle East.
Arrondissements of the Ardennes department

There are 4 **arrondissements in the Ardennes department**. The French departments, and in other countries, are divided into _arrondissements_, which may be translated into English as **districts** (in some cases, as **boroughs**).  The capital of an arrondissement is called a subprefecture.

If the prefecture (capital) of the department is in an arrondissement, that prefecture is the capital of the arrondissement, acting both as a prefecture and as a subprefecture.

Arrondissements are further divided into communes.

The 4 arrondissements of the Ardennes department are:

|INSEE code !! Arrondissement !! Capital !! Population <small>(2014)</small> !! Area <small>(km²)</small> !! Density (Inh./km²) !! _Communes_|||||||
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
|081|Charleville-Mézières|Charleville-Mézières|160,939|1,825.3||160|
|082|Rethel|Rethel|37,142|1,199.7||101|
|083|Sedan|Sedan|59,584|792.2||73|
|084|Vouziers|Vouziers|22,050|1,412.2||118|

## History

Since its creation, the Ardennes department has had some changes:
- 1790 : creation of the Ardennes department with six districts: Charleville, Grandpré, Rethel, Rocroi, Sedan and Vouziers.
- 1800 : creation of the arrondissements: Mézières, Rethel, Rocroi, Sedan and Vouziers.
- 1926 : the arrondissements of Rocroi and Sedan were eliminated.
- 1942 : Sedan is again an arrondissement of the department.

**Lincolnshire** is a village in southern Lake County, Illinois. As of 2020, the population is 7,940. The village is named after the English county called Lincolnshire. It is a suburban area with many houses that is about 34 miles (55 kilometers) from Chicago.

## History

The area where Lincolnshire is used to be have many Potawatomi Native Americans lived. European people began living there starting in 1834. These people named the place Half Day.

Farmers began buying land in what is now Lincolnshire after World War I. A businessman named Roger Ladd bought a lot of land in the area in 1955 to build houses. The area became a village in 1957. For about the next 20 years, Lincolnshire was a quiet place. However, as the other towns in the area were making lots of money from shops and offices, Lincolnshire started to allow businesses in the village in the 1980’s and 1990’s. It became a town with many houses, stores, and offices, as it is today.

Enantiornithes

**Enantiornithes** is a group of extinct avialans ("birds" in the broad sense). They are the most abundant and diverse group known from the Mesozoic era.

Most had teeth and clawed fingers on each wing, but otherwise looked much like modern birds. Over 80 species of enantiornitheans have been named, but some names represent only single bones, so probably not all are valid species.

Enantiornitheans became extinct at the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary, as did the hesperornithids and all other non-avian dinosaurs. The Enantiornithes are thought to have left no living descendants.

The name "Enantiornithes" means "opposite birds", from Ancient Greek _enantios_ (_ἐνάντιος_) "opposite" + _ornithes_ (_όρνιθες_) "birds" . The name was coined by Cyril Alexander Walker in a landmark paper which established the group. In his paper, Walker explained what he meant by "opposite":

This refers to an anatomical feature. The articulation of the shoulder bones has a concave-convex socket joint which is the reverse of the joint in modern birds.

Umayyad conquest of Hispania

The **Umayyad conquest of Hispania** was the expansion of the Umayyad Caliphate over Hispania, from 711 to 788.

The conquest destroyed the Visigothic Kingdom and set up the Emirate of Cordova under Abd ar-Rahman I. This completed al-Andalus, the unification of Muslim-ruled Iberia (756–788). The conquest was the westernmost expansion of the Umayyad Caliphate and Muslim rule into Europe. Charles Martel defeated them in the Battle of Tours, so they did not conquer France.

The conquering army was made up mainly of Berbers (north-western Africa). They had only recently come under Muslim influence. They arrived in early 711 at Gibraltar.

The Umayyad Caliphate in Damascus was overthrown around 750 AD, but continued in al-Andalus until 1031.

The period from 710 to the fall of the last Islamic state in the Battle of Granada in 1492 is called the _Reconquista_.

- _Jack Ellyat had been out all day alone,_
- _Except for his new gun and Ned, the setter,_
- _The old wise dog with Autumn in his eyes,_
- _Who stepped the fallen leaves so delicately_
- _They barely rustled. Ellyat trampled them down_
- _Crackling, like cast-off skins of fairy snakes._
- _He'd meant to hunt, but he had let the gun_
- _Rest on his shoulder._

From time to time the poet uses alliteration.

- _Where the **s**kyscrapers lift their foggy plumes_
- _Of **s**tranded **s**moke out of a **s**tony mouth_
- _You are that high **s**tone and its arrogant fumes,_
- _And you are ruined gardens in the _'S_outh_

## The story told
