The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is a role-playing video game.
It was made by the American game maker Bethesda in May 2006.
The game is for the Xbox 360 video game console and the PC (computer).
It was also made for the Sony PlayStation 3 in May 2007.
This game got the "Game of the Year" award at the Golden Joystick Awards.
Many gaming magazines such as the official Xbox magazine for the United Kingdom rated it a 10 out of 10.
The game is only offline.
It can not play against people on Xbox Live  although people can download extra content for the game.
The extra content can also be bought on a DVD or Blu-ray.
Some of the downloadable content comes with the Knights of the Nine retail disc.
Events from The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion happened after the game The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind.
The Emperor Uriel Septim VII gets killed by assassins while trying to escape the Imperial City, which means that Nirn (the world) has lost its shield against the Daedra from the plane of Oblivion, which comes through the opened gates of Oblivion.
The goal of the game is to find the Emperor's son, defeat the attacking Daedra, and end the invasion by shutting the gates.
The player may also join a few guilds, groups that let the player do tasks for them, and once the player has completed all of their tasks, the player is in charge of the guild.
Unlike Morrowind, the player can join every guild they can get into.
There are two Expansion Packs for Oblivion: The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles.
This expansion adds a new land: The Shivering Isles ruled by crazy god Sheogorath.
Here you must defend the land from invading Knights of Order, and stop their attacks.
There is also The Knights of the Nine which adds yet another quest.
A series of wars begin between the Byzantine Empire and the Sassanid Empire.

करोरी बाबा) (? -
September 11, 1973, in Vrindavan, India), also known to followers as Maharaj-ji, was a Hindu guru and who loved the Hindu deity Hanuman.
He is known in the West for having been the guru of a number of Americans who traveled to India in the 1960s and 1970s.
These students were returned to the West and told other people about Neem Karoli Baba.
The most well known of these students are the spiritual teachers Ram Dass and Bhagavan Das, and the musicians Krishna Das and Jai Uttal.
Sadhu and guru
Not much is known about Neem Karoli Baba's birth and early years.
According to one story, he was born Lakshmi Narayan Sharma (in Akbarpur, Firozabad district in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.
After an arranged marriage at the age of 11, he left his home and traveled a lot in northern India as a holy man (sadhu).
During this time he was known by many names including Lakshman Das, Handi Wallah Baba, and Tikonia Walla Baba.
When he did spiritual practice at Bavania in Gujarat, he was known as Tallaiya Baba.
In Vrindavan, the local people called him Chamatkari Baba which means "Miracle Baba".
Many people thought him to be a saint.
Neem Karoli was a master of bhakti yoga, and said that service to others (seva) is the best way to show love for God.
In a book of stories put together by Ram Dass called Miracle of Love, a student named Anjani shares the following story:
Notable Disciples
Among the most well known of Maharaj-ji's disciples were Ram Dass, the author of Be Here Now, teacher and performer Bhagavan Das, and the musicians Jai Uttal and Krishna Das.
Other notable devotees include humanitarian Larry Brilliant and his wife Girija, as well as Dada Mukerjee (former professor at Allahabad University, Uttar Pradesh, India).
After returning to the United States, Ram Dass and Larry Brilliant founded the Seva Foundation, a worldwide development organization which tries to end world poverty by following the teachings of Neem Karoli Baba.
Seva is based in Berkeley, California, and Ram Dass served on the board until his death in 2019.

Be Here Now is a 1971 book on spirituality by the spiritual teacher Ram Dass.
The title comes from what his guide in India, Bhagavan Das, used to tell him.
Summary of the book
"Journey: The Transformation: Dr. Richard Alpert, PhD. into Baba Ram Dass"
"From Bindu to Ojas: The Core Book" (Bindu is a Sanskrit word meaning "small dot".
Ojas means "strength", or "life".)
"Cookbook for a Sacred Life: A Manual for Conscious Being"
"Painted Cakes: Books"
The first section is about his life, his work as a psychologist, his research with Timothy Leary into Psychedelics at Harvard, and his anxiety when this research does not help him with his spiritual questions.
He then writes about his first journey to India and his meeting with his Guru, or spiritual teacher, Neem Karoli Baba, and spiritual renaming as Baba Ram Dass, or "servant of god".
The third section is a guide for starting on a yogic or spiritual path, and tells how to practice yoga and meditation.
It has a lot of quotes from teachers of many different religions.
The last section, also titled "Painted Cakes Do Not Satisfy Hunger" contains a list of books on religion and spirituality.
The book lists are divided into "Books to hang out with", "Books to visit with now & then", and "Books it's useful to have met".
Publishing history
The book has been in print since it was first published, and has sold over one million copies.
The work was published as a pamphlet by  the Lama Foundation.
In 1977, the Lama Foundation decided that the Hanuman Foundation would get half of the money made by the book, so it could do more work to help people.
Cultural influence
Be Here Now is one of the first guides, for those not born as Hindus, to becoming a yogi.
For its influence on the Hippie movement and other movements, it has been described as a "countercultural bible".
The book was the first place the phrase "be here now" was used.
Other people have said they like the book, including Wayne Dyer.
Musician George Harrison used the book's title as the title of one of his songs from his 1973 album Living In The Material World.
He wrote about this in his book I Me Mine.
Now, though I am a beginner on the path, I have returned to the West for a time to work out karma or unfulfilled commitment.
Part of this commitment is to share what I have learned with those of you who are on a similar journey.
One can share a message through telling 'our-story' as I have just done, or through the teaching methods of yoga, or singing, or making love.
Each of us finds his unique vehicle for sharing with others his bit of wisdom.
For me, this story is but a vehicle for sharing with you the true message... the living faith in what is possible.

A yogi (Sanskrit, feminine root: yogini) is a term for a male who practices various forms of the path of Yoga, maintaining a steadfast mind, the process of transcending the lower self.
These designations are mostly reserved for advanced or daily practitioners.
In contemporary English yogin is an alternative rendering for the word yogi.
This word is often used to describe Buddhist monks or any lay person or householder who is devoted to meditation.
The Shiva-Samhita text defines the yogi as someone who knows that the entire cosmos is situated within his own body, and the Yoga-Shikha-Upanishad distinguishes two kinds of yogins:  those who pierce through the "sun" (surya) by means of the various yogic techniques and those who access the door of the central conduit (sushumna-nadi) and drink the nectar.

85 Io is a big, dark Main belt asteroid of the C spectral class.
It is probably a primitive body made of carbonates.
Like 70 Panopaea it orbits within the Eunomia asteroid family but it is not related to the shattered parent body.
Io is a retrograde rotator, with its pole pointing towards one of ecliptic coordinates (β, λ) = (-45°, 105°) or (-15°, 295°) with a 10° uncertainty[1].
This gives an axial tilt of about 125° or 115°, respectively.
Its shape is quite spherical.
A diameter of 178 kilometres was measured from an occultation of a star on December 10, 1995 [4].
Io is also the name of the volcanic moon of Jupiter.
With a two-digit number and a two-letter name, 85 Io has the shortest designation of all minor planets.

87 Sylvia is one of the biggest main-belt asteroids.
It is a member of the Cybele group.
It is beyond the middle of the belt.
Sylvia is famous for being the first asteroid known to have more than one moon.
Sylvia was found by N. R. Pogson on May 16, 1866 from Madras (Chennai), India.
Paul Herget, in his The Names of the Minor Planets (1955), attributes the name as honouring the first wife of astronomer Camille Flammarion, Sylvie Petiaux-Hugo Flammarion (this entry is signed by A. Paluzie-Borrell).
However, in the article announcing the discovery of this asteroid (MNRAS, 1866), Pogson explained that he selected the name in reference to Rhea Silvia, mother of Romulus and Remus.
Sylvia is very dark in color and probably made of primitive.
The discovery of its moons made possible an accurate measurement of the asteroid's mass and density.
Its density is very low (around 1.2 times the density of water), indicating that the asteroid has a lot of empty spaces; From 25% to as much as 60% of it may be empty space, depending on the details of what it's made of.
However, the mineralogy of the X-type asteroids is not known well enough to force this further.
Either way, this suggests a loose rubble pile (an asteroid that has been broken up in a collision and pulled back together by gravity) structure.
Sylvia is also a fairly fast rotator, turning about its axis every 5.18 hours (giving an equatorial rotation speed of about 230 km/h or 145 mph).
Direct images indicate that Sylvia's pole points towards ecliptic coordinates (β, λ) = (+62.6°, 72.4°) with only a 0.5° uncertainty, which gives it an axial tilt of around 29.1°.
Sylvia's shape is very stretched.
Sylvia is orbited by two small moons.
They have been named Romulus and Remus (the formal names are (87) Sylvia I Romulus and (87) Sylvia II Remus, respectively), after the children of the mythological Rhea Silvia.
Romulus, the first moon, was found on February 18, 2001 from the Keck II telescope by Michael E. Brown and Jean-Luc Margot.
It is about 18 km in diameter and orbits at a distance of 1356±5 km, taking 3.6496±0.0007 days (87.59 h) to complete an orbit of Sylvia.
Remus, the second moon, was found over three years later on August 9, 2004 by Franck Marchis of UC Berkeley, and Pascal Descamps, Daniel Hestroffer, and Jérôme Berthier of the Observatoire de Paris, France.
It is 7±2 km in diameter and orbits at a distance of 706±5 km, taking 1.3788±0.0007 days (33.09 h) to complete an orbit of Sylvia.
From the surface of Sylvia, Romulus and Remus would appear about the same size.
Romulus, the farthest moon, would be about 0.89° across, a bit bigger than the closer but smaller Remus, which would be about 0.78° across.
Because Sylvia is far from spherical, these values may vary by a little more than 10%, depending on where the observer is on Sylvia's surface.
Since the two asteroid moons appear to orbit (as best we can tell) in the same plane, they would occult each other once every 2.2 days.
When the season is right, twice during Sylvia's 6.52 year orbital period, they would eclipse the Sun, which, at 0.15° across, is much smaller than when seen from Earth (0.53°).
From Remus, the closer moon, Sylvia appears very big, about 30°×18° across, while its view of Romulus varies between 1.59 and 0.50° across.
From Romulus, Sylvia measures 16°×10° across, while Remus varies between 0.62° and 0.19°.

Gentoo Linux is a version of the Linux operating system.
It was created by Daniel Robbins.
The project and its products are named after the Gentoo penguin.
Gentoo Linux uses a package management system called Portage.
Portage is like the BSD ports collection.
Gentoo package management is designed to be modular, portable, easy to maintain, flexible, and optimized for the user's machine.
Packages are normally built from source code, continuing the tradition of the ports collection, although for convenience, some large software packages are also available as precompiled binaries for various architectures.
Although originally designed for the x86 architecture, it has been ported to many others and currently runs on the x86, x86-64, IA-64, PA-RISC; PowerPC, PowerPC 970, SPARC64, MIPS, DEC Alpha, System Z/s390, PS3 Cell Processor  and SuperH architectures.
Official support for 32-bit Sparc hardware has been dropped.

Federico Fellini (born 20 January 1920 in Rimini, died 31 October 1993 in Rome) was an Italian movie-maker and director.
Fellini's movies combine memory, dream, and fantasy.
The first movie Fellini directed was Lo Sceicco Bianco (1951), with Alberto Sordi, written by Michelangelo Antonioni and Ennio Flaiano.
In making this movie Fellini met Nino Rota, the musician that would follow him for the successful rest of his career.
Fellini was married to actress Giulietta Masina (1921-1994) from 1943 until his death.
In 1945, he had a son who survived for only 2 weeks; it was the only child of Fellini and Giulietta Masina.
Masina acted in many of his movies.
Other actors Fellini often worked with include Marcello Mastroianni, Alberto Sordi, and Anita Ekberg.
Apart from making movies he also wrote scripts for radio shows, for movies (mainly for Roberto Rossellini) and wrote comic gags for well known actors like Aldo Fabrizi.
Fellini also produced several drawings (mostly pencil on paper), often humoristic portraits.
His first success was in drawing advertising pictures for movies.
During Fascism an Avanguardista, his first writings were for Alleanza Cinematografica Italiana (ACI), a production company of Vittorio Mussolini, son of Benito, who introduced him to Rossellini.
In 1944, when Fascism was over, he opened a shop in Rome in which he sold these drawings.
The shop was named (in English) "The Funny Face Shop", and contained works from Fellini and De Seta, Verdini, Camerini, Scarpelli, Majorana, Guasta, Giobbe, Attalo, Migneco (all writers, directors or otherwise intellectuals working for Italian cinema).
In the same year started his contribution to Rossellini's Roma Città Aperta, with Aldo Fabrizi.
Fellini took also part in writing another of Rossellini's movies: Paisà.
He wrote also for other directors as Alberto Lattuada, Pietro Germi and Luigi Comencini.
In 1987 he won the BAFTA Academy Fellowship Award, a lifetime achievement award.
In 1993, he received an Academy Award (Oscar) for his lifetime achievement.

John Milton (9 December 1608 – 8 November 1674) was an English poet, religious thinker, and civil servant for the English Commonwealth Government.
He is one of the most important figures in Western literature.
He is most famous for his Christian epic poem Paradise Lost.
His writing influenced both later poets and religious thinkers.
John Milton was born on 9 December 1608, the son of John Milton (senior) and Sarah Jerry.
His family lived in Bread Street, London.
His father was a musician and composer.
His main work was as a scrivener, a secretary who reads and writes letters for people who cannot read and write for themselves.
Milton's father was well paid at this work, and was able to hire a private tutor to teach his clever eldest son.
Milton's brother Christopher said he studied very long into each night.
Milton then went to St. Paul's School where he studied Latin, Greek, and Hebrew.
Milton then studied at Christ's College, Cambridge and graduated with a B.A. in 1629.
On 3 July 1632, he received his Master of Arts degree.
He returned home where he continued to study and write poetry for six years.
He wrote a large number of poems.
In 1638 he made a tour of the Continent, spending a lot of time in France and Italy, where he learned about other authors such as Dante, Tasso, and Ariosto.
When he was 34, he married Mary Powell, who was 17.
He defended freedom of speech and freedom of press.
In 1645, during the English Civil War, he published Poems of Mr. John Milton, in which there were his famous poems "L'Allegro" and "Il'Penseroso", which was mostly ignored.
In 1649, during the trial of Charles I, Milton wrote Of the Tenure of Kings and Magistrates, arguing that kings can rule only when the people allow them to.
He then became secretary to the Council of State and wrote in Latin Eikonoklastes in 1649.
That was the last big writing project he did before he began to become blind.
In 1652, he became completely blind and was very unhappy.
However, in 1667, he published the famous Paradise Lost, one of the greatest English-language epics.
Four years later, he wrote Paradise Regained, a story about how men became sinful and how Jesus Christ won the battle with the devil.
The last work that was published while he was alive was Samson Agonistes.
He died, probably because of gout, on 8 November 1674.

A wedge is a simple machine used mainly to put in between two stones.
A wedge as a tool is used to push two things apart such as the blade of a sword and knife  does when it cuts wood.
A wedge can also be used to lift an object or hold an object in place.
The mechanical advantage of a wedge depends on the ratio of its length to its thickest part.
The origin of the wedge is unknown, because it has been in use as early as the Stone Age.
Circa 3000 BC, in Ancient Egypt quarries, bronze wedges were used to break away blocks of rock used for construction.
Wood wedges, that swelled after being wet, were also used.
Some Native American tribes used antler wedges as a means of splitting and working wood to make canoes, houses, and other wood objects.
Examples for separating and lifting
Examples include axes, splitting mauls, and splitting wedges.
Wedges can also be used to lift heavy objects, or finely adjust the height of objects, essentially separating them from the surface they rest on.
These may also be referred to as shims.
Knives, scissors, chisels, and even teeth can sometimes be used as wedges, however, they are more fundamentally cutting implements.
Examples for holding fast
A fork or nails can also be considered a type of wedge.
While a nail will slice into wood when hammered, a bolt will not be pushed in.
This is because a nail is a wedge and a bolt is not.
A nail is tapered to a point at its end, then gets thicker farther up towards the head of the nail.
The mechanical advantage of a wedge is the length of the sloping side of the wedge and divide it by the length of the thick end of the wedge.
Therefore the formula for a wedge is:
Despite this, one reason that many splitting wedges have a wide angle is that an elastic material, such as wood, will bind a narrow wedge more readily than a wide wedge.
This is why splitting mauls have a much larger angle than an axe.

The job of the cabinet is listed in the articles 62 to 69 of the constitution.
This also has the oath of office that the minister must take.
The Chancellor sets the general policy of the Federal Government, and what each ministry should do.
The Federal Ministers are responsible for what happens in their own departments, and for making sure that the ministry keeps to the general ideas of the Chancellor.
This is known as the departmental principle ().
If two Federal Ministers disagree about what should be done or about who is to do it or how it is to be done, the Federal Government decides with a majority decision.
The is called the cooperative principle ().
The Federal Minister Law () says that a retired member of the Federal Government can have a retirement pension, if they have been a minister for at least two years.
Time as a junior minister (US "Undersecretary"), who in Germany are called parliamentary permanent secretaries, is counted, and so is previous membership in a Land (state) government.

Brave New World is a dystopia novel by Aldous Huxley.
It was first published in 1932.
The novel is set in London of "AF 632", which is about 2540 AD, and speaks of developments in reproductive technology, operant conditioning, and sleep-learning that change society.
The general idea is a World Government manipulates people so as to make them easier to govern.
They are split into five castes, hatched by the state to fill preset positions in society.
The lower castes, which are clones, are treated with chemicals to arrest their mental and physical development.
Children are treated by a process which gives them only information appropriate to their caste.
They are moulded for their positions in life.
Psychological needs are met by compulsory dosing of the drug soma, a hallucinogen which takes the user on an enjoyable trip.
In the novel various characters experience life in this planned society and struggle with the problems it causes them.

In 1801 Quintana wrote a tragedy, El Duque de Viseo, written about a patriotic theme.
which was successful.
The first book of his Vidas de Españoles célebres, about the lives of Spanish heroes, helped to promote Quintana the post of secretary to the Cortes during the French invasion.
But on the return of Ferdinand VII he was put in prison at Pamplona from 1814 to 1820.
He was finally given a small post in the civil service, became tutor to Queen Isabella II, and was nominated senator.
Quintana died at the age of 84.
Philanthropy and patriotism helped him write.
The thought he put into his poems is not deep, but his faith to Spain attracted people to read them.

Fortran is a programming language first created in the 1950s.
It is a procedural language mainly used for scientific computing and numerical analysis.
The first FORTRAN compiler was created in 1954-57 by a team at IBM led by John W. Backus.
This compiler was the first compiler for any High level language.
The authors were worried that no one would use the language if programs written in it did not run nearly as fast as programs written in assembly language.
So they made it an optimizing compiler.
Because of the heavy use by scientists doing numerical work the language grew in ways that encouraged compiler writers to produce compilers that generated high quality (fast) code.
There are many high performance compiler vendors.
Much work and research in compiler theory and design was caused by the need to generate good code for Fortran programs.
Several revisions of the language have appeared, including the very well known FORTRAN IV (the same as FORTRAN 66), FORTRAN 77 and Fortran 90.
The most recent formal standard for the language was published in 1997 and is known as Fortran 95.
Meaning and spelling of the name
The name "Fortran" is short for "Formula Translation".
The language was formerly known as FORTRAN (and older variants of it still are).
Since Fortran 90, the capitalization has been abandoned.
The published formal standards use "Fortran".
ANSI X3.198-1992 (R1997).
Title: Programming Language "Fortran" Extended.
Informally known as Fortran 90.
This standard was published by ANSI and never became an International Standard (ISO).
ISO/IEC 1539-1:1997.
Title: Information technology - Programming languages - Fortran - Part 1: Base language.
Informally known as Fortran 95.
There are a further 2 parts to this standard.
Part 1 has been formally adopted by ANSI.

William Butler Yeats (1865–1939) was an Irish poet, dramatist and mystic.
He was born in Dublin, Ireland on 13 June 1865.
He spent most of his time in Sligo and some time in London.
Yeats' early poetry drew heavily on myth and legend.
His later work had more to do with contemporary issues.
One of his famous poems is called "Leda and the Swan".
He was also interested in Hermeticism and Theosophy.
He was a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.
Yeats won the Nobel Prize in literature in 1923.
He died in Menton, France.
90 Antiope is an asteroid found on October 1, 1866 by Robert Luther.
The 90th asteroid to be found, it is named after Antiope from Greek mythology, though it is disputed as to whether the namesake is Antiope the Amazon or Antiope the mother of Amphion and Zethus.
Antiope orbits in the farther third of the core region of the main belt, and is a member of the Themis family of asteroids.
Like most bodies in this region, it is of the dark C spectral type, indicating that it is made of carbonaceous chondrite.
Double asteroid
The most remarkable feature of Antiope is that it has two asteroids of almost equal size (the difference in mass is less than 2.5%), making it a truly "double" asteroid.
Its binary nature was found on 10 August, 2000 by a group of astronomers using adaptive optics at the Keck Telescope on Mauna Kea.
The "secondary" is designated S/2000 (90) 1.
Each asteroid is about 86±1 km across, with their centers separated by only about 170 kilometers.
This means that the space separating the two halves is only 60 km, or so.
The two bodies orbit around the same center of mass which lies in the space between them.
The orbital period is about 16.50 hours, the eccentricity below 0.03 (best estimate 0.01 ± 0.02).
Every several years, a period of mutual occultations occurs when the asteroid is viewed from Earth.
Using Kepler's third law, the mass and density of the asteroids can be derived from the orbital period and asteroid sizes.
The axis of the mutual orbit of the two asteroids points towards ecliptic coordinates (β, λ) = (200°, 38°) with 2 degrees uncertainty.
This is tilted about 63° to the circumsolar orbit of the system.

The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn (or Golden Dawn for short) was a magical order of secret society for the study of the occult and metaphysics.
It was founded in London in 1888 by Dr. William Wynn Westcott and Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers.
It ceased to exist under that name in 1903.
However, two spin-off groups were created at that time, the Stella Matutina and the Alpha et Omega.
While it was popular, many well-known people joined the Golden Dawn.
Some of its members included:
Florence Farr
Dion Fortune
Pamela Colman Smith

A plan view is an orthographic projection of a 3-dimensional object from the position of a horizontal plane through the object.
In such views, the portion of the object above the plane is omitted to reveal what lies beyond.
In the case of a floor plan, the roof and upper part of the walls may be left out.
Basically, a plan view is just another name for the top view of a 3D object.
