Hilton then made a designer diary, also mostly made by Merle Ginsberg, called Your Heiress Diary: Confess It All to Me.
Amun was one of the eight ancient Egyptian gods who formed the Ogdoad of Hermopolis.
He was the god of the air and his consort was Ament (Amaunet).
In Egyptian mythology, Amun was a very powerful god.
He was often combined with Ra to form the god Amun-Ra.
At one point in Egyptian history, he was called the "King of the Gods".
Amun (also spelled Amon, Amoun, Amen, and sometimes Imen, Egyptian Yamanu) was the name of a deity, in Egyptian mythology, who became one of the most important deities in Ancient Egypt.
In later years, bined with Horus into one god.
He began as a Theban wind and fertility god and ended up the supreme deity, with most of Egypt's vast wealth dedicated to his temple.
Around the second millennium B.C.E., Thebes and its cult of Amun grew so powerful that it threatened worship of the sun god, Ra.
The two deities merged.
Amun-Ra was hailed as a national god, the creator of the universe, the pharaoh's personal protector, and the god of war.
Amun's name is first recorded as imn.
That means "The hidden (one)".
Vowels were not written in Egyptian hieroglyphics, but Egyptologists think the name survives into the Coptic language as Amoun.
It was thought that he had created himself and then created everything else while remaining distant from the rest of the world.
In that sense, he was the original inscrutable and indivisible creator.
the tail feathers of a bird.
That would remind of his earlier status as a wind god.
When Amun had become more important than Menthu, the local war god of Thebes, Menthu was called the son of Amun.
However, as Mut was infertile, it was believed that she, and thus Amun, had adopted Menthu instead.
David Klotz, Adoration of the Ram: five hymns to Amun-Re from Hibis Temple (New Haven, 2006therwebAnint gypt: th Myth Clasical Dictionary:
Aten is the disk of the Sun in ancient Egyptian mythology, and an aspect of the Sun-god Ra.
Aten was pictured as a sun with rays that ended in hands.
The deified Aten is the focus of the  monotheistic religion of Atenism established by Amenhotep IV, who later took the name Akhenaten in worship and recognition of the Aten.
In his poem Great Hymn to the Aten, Akhenaten praises Aten as the creator, and giver of life.
Akhenaten was the first person to attempt to make a monotheistic religion.

A clam is a type of shellfish.
Clams can be found in saltwater and freshwater.
This is a common usage term, and so includes quite a variety of shellfish.
Clams are a fairly common form of bivalve, therefore making it part of the phylum Mollusc.
There are many clams in the ocean, but some can also be found in some lakes, streams, and rivers.
The word 'clam' is often applied to those that are edible and live almost of their lives halfway buried in the seafloor.
Clams have two shells of equal size connected by two aductor muscles and have a powerful burrowing foot.
Clams for cooking do not live attached to rocks (whereas oysters and mussels do).
Clams are often got by digging and cooked and served as clam chowder.
They may be found on menus in restaurants that serve seafood.
The shell has three layers.
The top one is called mother-of-pearl because it is a coating of pearl material.
Some clams have life cycles of only one year, while at least one may be over 500 years old.
All clams have two calcareous shells or valves joined near a hinge with a flexible ligament, and all are filter feeders.
Bes was the ancient Egyptian god of protection of pregnant women, newborn babies and the family.
He was a dwarf wearing a lion's skin.
Bes does not look like he is Egyptian.
He is like gods found in other parts of Africa.
To scare away demons during birth, Bes would dance around the room, shaking his rattle and yelling to scare away demons that might put a curse on the child.
After the child was born, Bes would stay by him/her.
When a baby laughed or smiled for no reason, Egyptians believed that Bes was somewhere in the room making funny faces.
His name appears to be connected to a Nubian word for cat, besa, which literally means protector.
Egyptians kept cats in order to attack snakes, and creatures that might ruin crop stores, such as mice, and so Bes was naturally singled out as worthy of worship in Egypt.
Images of the god were kept in homes to protect from evil and so he was shown quite differently from the other gods.
Normally gods were shown in profile, but instead Bes appeared in portrait, and sometimes in a soldier's tunic, so as to appear ready to launch an attack on any approaching evil.
Bes, the family god, protected children from the dangers of snakes and scorpions.
Like the hippopotamus god Taweret, Bes was the protector of women in childbirth.
The Egyptians put a statue in their room or a carving over their bed to protect them from bad dreams.
He brought good luck and good health to all that honored him.
This household deity was also the god of music, dance and pleasure.
Bes was shown in full-face, unlike the other gods who were drawn in profile.
This bandy-legged, large bellied dwarf wore an animal pelt and feathered headdress.
He brandished a weapon or played a musical instrument while hopping about.
Bes’ tail and lion’s mane stood out from his dwarfish features.
With his tongue sticking out or teeth bared, this god had a place in every home.
Bes started out as multiple demons, which morphed to form a rearing lion as his first combined form.
His power increased from the Old Kingdom to the New Kingdom.
He started out as the protector of the pharaoh but shifted to being worshiped by civilians.
In the New Kingdom, the female form, Beset developed from Bes.
Items with his depiction were common in a very broad field, which included Sub-Sahara Africa, modern Turkey, Cyprus, Syria and Assyria.
This implies that Bes was highly popular in the Middle East.
The fact that Bes was depicted full-face suggests he originated from Africa.

The Hokkaido wolf (Canis lupus hattai) is a subspecies of Gray Wolf.
Scientists believe it became extinct in 1889.
There are people who said to have seen some Hokkaido wolves after that year, but there is no proof that they actually did.
In the Meiji Restoration in Japan, Japanese farmers wanted to have American-style ranches for raising livestock.
A US farmer named Edwin Dun started to import livestock to Japan.
When the wolves began attacking the livestock, the farmers started to kill them, by using poison.
Hornets are the largest of the social wasps.
They can reach up to 55mm (5.5 cm, 2.2in) in length.
The true hornets make up the genus Vespa.
True hornets can be distinguished from other vespines by the form of their head.
Hornets live in Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas.
They live in warm and wet forests, and in desert climates.
They do not occur in climates where it is cold all year round.
Life-cycle
First a queen starts to build a nest.
This depends on the weather.
In North America this happens in spring.
As the hornet that starts to build the nest, she is the architect of the nest's design.
In the built space she will lay eggs.
These hatch, and become larvae.
The queen will feed the first larvae, until they make a cocoon.
After transforming, they will become the first workers.
These will do most of the work.
The workers will build a hierarchy amongst themselves.
In autumn young queens will hatch.
Young males will hatch from unfertilized eggs.
These males are called drones.
The young queens will build a cocoon to spend the winter, once they have been fertilized.
All the other animals will die with the first frost.
Hornets and yellowjackets are good for gardens.
This is because their prey is mostly made of insects which are considered pests.
They also feed on bees, but their colonies only last for a year, they die in winter.
A medium-sized colony, made of 300-400 animals will need about 500g  (half a kilo, 1 lb) of food per day, during the high season, that is in the summer months.
Animals hunted include flies, wasps, bees, locusts, beetles, caterpillars, dragonflies and spiders.
Hornets and other animals
Animals called hornets
Hornets are often confused with yellowjackets.
Yellowjackets are smaller, and their coloring is different.
They are bright yellow and black.
Yellowjackets are attracted to the sweetness of human foods, especially in autumn.
Hornets feed on live insects, this sweetness does not attract them.
Some other large wasps are sometimes referred to as hornets.
This is particularly true  for the bald-faced hornet in North America.
The bald-faced hornet is mostly black and white in coloring.
This is very different from the black-and-yellow coloring of other wasps.
It is set apart by its black and ivory coloration.
The name "hornet" is used for this and related species mainly because of their habit to make aerial nests (similar to the true hornets') rather than the nests underground the wasps use.
Another example is the Australian hornet, which is actually a species of potter wasp.
Animals that look like hornets
There are some animals that have changed their appearance to look like hornets.
In these case, looking like a hornet is a defense for the animal, because it will be attacked less often.
These animals include the Lunar Hornet Moth, the Hornet Moth, the Hornet Mimic Hoverfly.
This behaviour is called Batesian mimicry
Animals living with hornets
There is a kind of beetle, called Velleius dilatatus that lives with hornet nests.
It lives from the leftovers of the hornets' food, and from dead hornets.
It finds hornet nests with its very good sense of smell.
Hornets and people
Dealing with flying hornets
Flying hornets which are hunting and which are not close to their nest will usually not sting, unless they feel threatened.
They should not be squeezed; making a breeze at them can also irritate them and make them feel threatened.
Hornets hunt when there is only little light available - humans will call it darkness.
Like other insects they are attracted to light.
If possible, the light should be extinguished for a short time.
The hornets will then continue as usual.
If it is not possible to put out the light, a glass jar can be used to catch the hornet.
With a paper under the glass, the hornet can then be transported to a safe place away from that light where it can be released.
Dealing with hornet nests
Hornets will defend their nest, or hive.
Depending on the species of hornet, they will do this in a radius of between .
Concussions within that radius should be avoided.
If they are disturbed often, they will make this radius bigger.
There are specially trained people who can move hornet nests - note that in many parts of Europe, the hornet is an endangered species; killing a hornet, destroying or disturbing a hornet nest can lead to a fine.
Hornets have a stinger.
They use this to kill prey, and to defend themselves.
Hornet stings can be very painful, but they are not more dangerous than the stings of other wasps or bees.
With every sting, there is the danger of an allergic reaction and of shock after this reaction.
Also, stings in the area of the mouth can make breathing difficult, or impossible.
People who are allergic develop an Anaphylaxis - an allergic reaction.
This can be fatal, if it is not treated immediately with Epinephrine (also known as Adrenaline).
Hornets can alert the whole nest.
This means that all workers there will defend it.
This can lead to a dangerous situation.
One sting of a hornet is not dangerous;  with 200 to 250 of them, the situation is different.

In Egyptian mythology, Geb was the god of the earth.
Geb was the husband and brother of the sky goddess Nut and the father of Osiris, Isis, Nephthys,  Horus the Elder, and Seth.
When Seth and Horus (Osiris' son) fought to become the king of Egypt, Geb made Horus the ruler of the living.
Geb's parents are Tefnut and Shu.
The animals of Geb are a snake and a goose (a goose is sometimes depicted on Geb's head).
Geb is sometimes equivalent to Greek titan Kronos.
Geb's name means "weak one" or "lame one".
Geb is also god of vegetation, and his other names are Seb, Keb, Kebb, Qeb, and Sebb.
Geb hatched his egg, which would become the sun.
Geb married Nut and had five children.
Their names were Osiris, Isis, Nephthys, Horus and Seth.
Osiris and Isis married and eventually Set and Nephtys married.
One night Set measured Osiris to make a tomb for him.
They made a huge festival and there were many presents.
The last one was a little box.
A couple of villagers tried to fit into the box but it didn’t work.
Then Osiris came and it fit perfectly!
But then Set shut it with Osiris inside and put molten lead over it so Osiris could not breathe.
When Isis found out, she was very sad and cried.
She searched desperately for Osiris' body.
Isis eventually found the body and buried it properly.
She looked at Osiris and then closed the lid gently.
Set, terrified that Isis may bring him back to life, searched for Osiris' buried body.
And, when Set found the tomb he cut him into pieces.
Isis put Osiris back together so he looked like a person again.
Then Isis had her first child named Horus.
When Horus found out that his dad died, he tried to kill Set and Set tried to kill Horus.
Eventually Set got a huge wound that was filled with blood.
When that happened, Geb said that Horus could take over Osiris’ place.
In Geb’s temple, priests fed him everyday like many of the other gods.
When gifts were given, people were allowed to go to the gate or the forecourt.
The priests would collect gifts that the ordinary Egyptians gave to the gods.
Priests would pray to honor Geb for the people who came to the temple.
The temple was made out of big stone columns that supported a great big hall.
There were also very big gates that opened up to the Great Hall.
The rooms or chambers were lit by candles, and incense would make the rooms smell nice and clean the air in the temple.
The chambers gradually decreased in size as priests went in and created a mysterious feeling.
The priests then found the chapel in the shrine, which contained the Naos (a naos is a small shrine) which had the statue of Geb.
Geb’s symbol was a goose and his skin was sometimes green, representing the Nile River or black representing rich soil for vegetation.
Geb was depicted as a man wearing the crown of the North and other times he wore the crown of the South of Egypt.
Geb also sometimes wore a white crown or a goose on his head representing the earth.
Geb held a staff in his left hand and in his right hand he usually held an ankh, which is the hieroglyph that meant life.
Not only did Geb wear a goose on top of his head but sometimes his would be covered by a goose head.
Geb was so powerful that when he laughed, he made earthquakes start.
That is why he was named the Great Cackler.
Just like other gods, Geb was very strong and could live a long time.
To show his powers for making life from the earth, Geb is sometimes drawn with flowers coming out of his elbow.
He had many names which were Geb, Gebb, Seb, Sebb, Keb, and Kebb.
Geb was also a Greek god named Kronos.
Although he was not as famous as his daughters and brothers, he still had an important job.

Brown dwarfs are a group of large stars, made of the same things as stars, but does not have enough mass for hydrogen fusion (the combining of hydrogen atoms into helium atoms).
Nuclear fusion is what makes stars glow.
Brown dwarfs are not massive enough to do this, so they are not regular stars.
On the other hand, they are not regular giant planets, because they do glow.
They are thought to be many but few have been found because their absolute magnitude is small.
Their mass is between the heaviest gas giants and the lightest stars, with an upper limit around 75 to 80 times the mass of Jupiter (MJ).
Brown dwarfs more massive than 13 MJ are thought to fuse deuterium and those above ~65 MJ, fuse lithium as well.
What became known as brown dwarfs were talked about in the 1960s.
Alternative names for brown dwarfs were proposed, including planetar and substar.
They remained hypothetical for decades.
Early theories suggested that an object less than 0.09 solar masses would never go through normal stellar evolution.
The discovery of deuterium-burning down to 0.012 solar masses and the impact of dust formation in the cool outer atmospheres of brown dwarfs in the late 1980s brought these theories into question.
However, such objects were hard to find because they emit almost no visible light.
Their strongest emissions are in the infrared (IR) spectrum, and ground-based IR detectors were too imprecise at that time to readily identify any brown dwarfs.
For many years, efforts to discover brown dwarves were fruitless.
In 1988, however, GD 165B was discovered, showing none of the features expected of a low-mass red dwarf star.
Today, GD 165B is recognized as the prototype of a class of objects now called "L dwarfs".
Although the discovery of the coolest dwarf was highly significant at the time, it was debated whether GD 165B would be classified as a brown dwarf or simply a very-low-mass star, because observationally it is very difficult to distinguish between the two.
Soon after the discovery of GD 165B, other brown-dwarf candidates were reported.
Most failed to live up to their candidacy, however, because the absence of lithium showed them to be stellar objects.
True stars will burn their lithium within a little over 100 million years (my), whereas brown dwarfs  will not.
Confusingly, brown dwarves have temperatures and luminosities similar to some true stars.
In other words, the detection of lithium in the atmosphere of an object means that, if it is older than 100 my, it is a brown dwarf.
The first confirmed brown dwarf was discovered in 1994.
They called this object Teide 1 and it was found in the Pleiades open cluster.
The distance, chemical composition, and age of Teide 1 was established because it is in the young Pleiades star cluster.
Teide 1's  mass is 55 times that of Jupiter, and clearly below the stellar-mass limit.
More notable was Gliese 229B, which was found to have a temperature and luminosity well below the stellar range.
Remarkably, its near-infrared spectrum clearly exhibited a methane absorption band at 2 micrometres, a feature that had previously only been observed in the atmospheres of giant planets and that of Saturn's moon Titan.
This discovery helped to establish yet another spectral class even cooler than L dwarfs, known as "T dwarfs", for which Gliese 229B is the prototype.
A brown dwarf below 65 Jupiter masses is unable to burn lithium by thermonuclear fusion at any time during its evolution.
High-quality spectral data showed that Teide 1 had kept the initial lithium amount of the original molecular cloud from which Pleiades stars formed.
This proved the lack of thermonuclear fusion in its core.
Teide 1 was considered for some time the smallest object out of the Solar System that had been identified by direct observation.
Since then over 1800 brown dwarfs have been identified.
Some are very close to Earth such as Epsilon Indi Ba and Bb, a pair of brown dwarfs gravitationally bound to a sunlike star around 12 light-years from the Sun, and WISE 1049-5319 a binary system of brown dwarfs about 6.5 light-years away.
For some years now there has been debate concerning what criterion to use for defining the separation between a very-low-mass brown dwarf and a giant planet (~13 Jupiter masses).
One school of thought is based on formation, and another on interior physics.
Dividends are payments made by a company to its shareholders.
When a company earns more money than it spends, the extra money can either be spent on making the company better or it can be given to the people who own stock in the company as a dividend.

Germanicus Caesar (24 May 15 BC – 10 October 19 AD) was a Roman general.
He was the son of the general Nero Claudius Drusus, and nephew of Emperor Tiberius.
Germanicus commanded the Roman forces in their campaign of 14/16 AD against the Germanic tribes.
Three whole Roman legions had been wiped out in the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest in 9 AD.
It was the greatest disaster in Roman military history.
Plans for the revenge were started by the Emperor Augustus, and put into effect by his successor Tiberius.
Germanicus had command of eight legions, one-third of the Roman Army.
He destroyed the opposing German tribes, and recovered two of the three symbolic legionary eagles which had been lost.
He was called back by Tiberius after he crossed the Rhine.
The reasons for the recall are not agreed, but Augustus had set the Rhine as the limit of Rome's ambitions in Germany.
Germanicus was given an official triumph.
A contemporary calendar gives 26 May as the day in which "Germanicus Caesar was borne into the city in triumph".
Coins issued under his son Gaius (Caligula) depicted him on a triumphal chariot, with the reverse reading "Standards Recovered.
Germans Defeated".
In AD 18 he was given charge of the eastern part of the empire.
Germanicus died in Syria for unknown reasons.

The plant is made up of a tower in the center of a large field covered in many mirrors.
Each of the 624 moveable mirrors has an area of 120 m2 (1290 ft2).
The mirrors reflect the light from the Sun to the top of the tower.
The heat warms water within pipes in the central tower turning it into steam.
The steam drives turbines which, at their peak, put out 11 MW of electricity.
The planet is good for providing electricity during the hottest parts of the day when air conditioning demand is the highest.

Headquarters is a name given to the main building of an organization where most of its functions are done.
All large companies have headquarters which control the business.
A large non-governmental organization also has a headquarter from where its activities are controlled.
The term is also used regarding military organizations.
The Estates Theatre became part of the National Theatre in 1948.
People from three different groups perform opera, ballet, and drama there.
The same people also perform at the National Theatre (Národní divadlo), and the Theatre Kolowrat (Divadlo Kolowrat).
The Estates Theatre was built during the late 18th century.
At first it was known as Count Nostitz’s Theatre.
The theatre opened in 1783 with a performance of the tragedy Emilia Galotti by the German playwright Gotthold Lessing.
It was built in the Neoclassical style.
Today it is one of the very few theatres that have hardly changed since it was built.
Although the building is almost the same it always was, the organisation of the Estates Theatre has changed several times in its history.
In 1798 it was called the Estates Theatre when it was bought by the Czech Estates.
When the Provisional Theatre opened in 1862 the Estates Theatre started to put on German plays and the name was changed to the Royal Provincial German Theatre.
From 1920 and 1948 it got its name (Estates Theatre) back again.
In 1948 the organization became part of the National Theatre and was called Tyl Theatre (after dramatist J.K. Tyl).
In 1990, after some restoration, it became known again as the Estates Theatre.
Productions and artistes
Many of the greatest artists worked or had their music or plays performed in the Estates Theatre.
In 1787 the first performance took place of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's opera Don Giovanni.
Mozart's opera La Clemenza di Tito was also staged there for the first time in celebration of the coronation of Emperor Leopold II.
Other famous people who conducted there were Carl Maria von Weber and Gustav Mahler.
Czech plays were often performed there.
This made people interested in performing in Czech and so, in 1848, the National Theatre was built.
Today the Estates Theatre is still famous for dramas, ballets and operas.
The opera company especially perform the operas of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
The movie about Mozart which was called Amadeus was filmed in the Estates Theatre.

Buildings and structures in Prague
18th-century establishments in Europe
In the middle of the 19th century there were a lot of political changes in Europe.
Prague had been part of the Austrian Empire.
The official language was German.
Bohemia (which included Prague) and Moravia now form the area of the Czech Republic.
In the 19th century the Czechs in these areas wanted to be able to put on plays and operas in the Czech language.
The National Theatre was built at a time when this was starting to become possible.
The National Theatre was built because the Czech people wanted their own national identity.
The first stone was laid on May 16, 1868.
It was opened  on June 11 1881 to honour the visit of Crown Prince Rudolf of Austria.
Another 11 performances were given after that.
Then the theatre was closed down to finish the building.
While people were working to finish it  a fire broke out on August 12 1881 which destroyed most of it.
However, a lot of money was found and it was built again and opened on November 18 1883 with a performance of Smetana’s opera Libuše which he had composed for this occasion.
The story of the opera is based on a mythological story about how Prague began.
It was an excellent theatre, and it was not until 1977 that any more re-building was necessary.
Then it was closed for six years, and opened again in time for the 100th anniversary of its opening: on November 18 1983.
On that day again there was a performance of Smetana’s Libuše.
Today the National Theatre has three ensembles (groups of people): opera, ballet and drama.
These ensembles all perform in the National Theatre, the Estates Theatre and the Theatre Kolowrat.
They put on a lot of Czech plays and operas, but also productions from other parts of the world.

In music, a drone is a  note which sounds all the time while a piece of music is played.
Some folk instruments always make a drone when they are played: bagpipes and hurdy gurdies in European culture, sitars in Indian music, and many other instruments in Asian and African music.
Sometimes more than one drone is heard (often two notes which are a fifth apart).
Music with drones has to have simple harmonies because it is not possible to modulate to different keys.
Other things can make up for this, for example, Scottish bagpipe music has lots of little ornamental notes to make it interesting.
Some Western Composers  liked to use a drone (especially one in fifths) to make it sound like bagpipes or other folk instruments.
Bach, François Couperin and other Baroque composers often called such pieces "Musette" (the French for "bagpipes").
Sometimes they did this in orchestral music: Haydn used a drone in the last part of his Symphony No.
104 to accompany a folk tune.
A pedal point (or pedal note) is a note which keeps sounding for several bars, usually in the bass (the lowest notes).
They are often used towards the end of a piece of music to help to drive the music to a climax.
They are called "pedal" notes because they are often heard in organ music where the player puts one of his feet on a pedal note and holds it there.
A good example of a dominant pedal can be seen in the Prelude in C major from Book I of the Well-Tempered Clavier by Bach.
An example of a tonic pedal can be seen in the third movement of Brahms's German Requiem, where the double basses play continuous D's in the last section.
Because this lasts for the whole section some people might prefer to call this a drone.
An inverted pedal is a pedal that is not in the bass.
It is often in the highest part.
Euclidean geometry is a system in mathematics.
People think Euclid was the first person who described it; therefore, it bears his name.
He first described it in his textbook Elements.
The book was the first systematic discussion of geometry as it was known at the time.
In the book, Euclid first assumes a few axioms.
These form the base for later work.
They are intuitively clear.
Starting from those axioms, other theorems can be proven.
In the 19th century other forms of geometry were found.
These are non-Euclidean geometry.
Carl Friedrich Gauss, János Bolyai, and Nikolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky were some people that developed such geometries.
Very often, these do not use the parallel postulate, but the other four axioms.
The axioms
Euclid makes the following assumptions.
These are axioms, and need not be proved.
Any two points can be joined by a straight line
Any straight line segment can be made longer (extended) to infinity, so it becomes a straight line.
With a straight line segment it is possible to draw a circle, so that one endpoint of the segment is the center of the circle, and the other endpoint lies on the circle.
The line segment becomes the radius of the circle.
All right angles are congruent
Parallel postulate.
If two lines intersect a third in such a way that the sum of the inner angles on one side is less than two right angles, then the two lines inevitably must intersect each other on that side if extended far enough.
Euclidean geometry is a first-order theory.
With it, statements like For all triangles... can be made, and be proven.
Statements like For all sets of triangles... are outside the scope of the theory.
Fields of geometry
János Bolyai (December 15, 1802 – January 27, 1860) was a Hungarian mathematician, known for his work in non-Euclidean geometry.

In Roman mythology, Diana was the goddess of hunting, and in later times, the moon and chastity.
Cypress trees were sacred to her.
She was the daughter of Jupiter and the Titan Latona (or Leto).
In Greek mythology, Diana was called Artemis.
She is also associated with fertility and nature.
Artemis is her Greek equivalent.
According to mythology Diana was born with her twin brother Apollo on the island of Delos.
Apollo was her only real brother but she had many half brothers and sisters from her father.
Her half-siblings were Vulcan, Minerva, Mercury, Bacchus, Mars, and Proserpine.
Diana made a group of three with two other Roman deities: Egeria the water nymph, her servant and midwife helper; and Virbius, the god of the woods.
Diana is a maiden goddess which means she can't marry.

In Egyptian mythology, Thoth was the deity of scribes.
He is thought to be one of the most important said to be born from the skull of Seth also said to be born from the heart of Ra.
Thoth was considered the heart and tongue of Ra.
He was also the one who translated Ra's will into speech.
The main shrine of Thoth was at Khemennu.
It was there that he was the head of the local company of deities.
He also had shrines in Abydos, Hesert, Urit, Per-Ab, Rekhui, Ta-ur, Sep, Hat, Pselket, Talmsis, Antcha-Mutet, Bah, Amen-heri-ab, and Ta-kens.
Thoth was mostly prayed  in the early dynasty.
He was also prayed through the five days of celebration.
They would sing hymns and chant spells for Thoth.
There were many celebrations like "The feast of Thoth" in the year.
He was a major god for the early dynasty.
Thoth played very important roles in Egyptian myths.
He was said to have resurrected Osiris after he was slain by Seth and also later resurrected his son, Horus.
He was also credited for creating 365 days instead of 360.
One myth explains how Ra bans Nut from having children on any day of the year.
Thoth then goes to the moon god, Khonsu, and gambles five days out of him, therefore giving five days (the demon days) when Nut can have children.
He also was sometimes said to take the place of the Primeval Goose and be the creator of the world and all other gods.
Thoth had one direct relation to Ma'at that people know of, although some myths say he was the son of Ra.
His feminine counterpart was a goddess named Seshat.
She was also sometimes credited to be the inventor of hieroglyphs, while Thoth taught them.
She was also said to be Thoth’s wife or daughter.
Relationship to Ma'at
Ma'at also played a big role next to Thoth.
He was there at the weighing of the heart, noting, while Ma’at weighed the heart.
They both stood on either side of Ra’s boat and also he was sometimes said to be Ma’at’s husband.
Ma'at was the goddess of law, order, truth, and justice.
Thoth was a unique god.
He is said to have two forms: an ibis-headed human and a squatting dog-headed baboon.
He held a stylus and a pallet, and sometimes the symbol of life, called the Ankh.
Titles and Roles
Thoth had many titles and a lot of roles.
He was often called “Three times Great”.
He was mediator, messenger, scribe and teacher.
Some of his titles included;
These numerous titles show that Thoth had a very significant importance to ancient Egyptian mythology.
He had his high point of worship in the Old Kingdom.
Hermes and the Greeks
When the Greeks conquered Egypt, they equated Thoth with Hermes, their messenger god.
Thoth’s central city was Khemenu, (where he has his chief temple) which the Greeks renamed to Hermopolis, city of Hermes.
Today, ancient temples and ruins worshiping Thoth are there and what used to be Khemenu is now el-Eshmunein.

Divided between the Æsir and the Vanir, and sometimes including the jötnar (giants), the dividing line between these groups is less than clear.
However, it is usually accepted that the Æsir (including Óðinn, Þór and Týr) were warrior gods, while the Vanir (mainly Njörður, Freyja and Freyr) were fertility gods.
Various other groups of beings, including elves, dwarves and jötnar were probably minor gods, and might have had small cults and sacred places devoted to them.
