Hans Glas GmbH
Hans Glas GmbH is a former German automotive company, which was based in Dingolfing. Originally a maker of farm machinery, Glas evolved first into a producer of motor scooters, then automobiles. It was purchased by BMW in 1966, mainly to gain access to Glas's patents; they were the first to use a timing belt with an overhead camshaft in an automotive application. Its limited model range was shortly phased out by its new parent. History Mechanic Andreas Glas (born 1857, son of Maurus who founded the first agricultural machinery factory in Bavaria in Freising in 1860) founded his own repair company for agricultural machines in 1883 in Pilsting. He named the company ''Andreas Glas, Reparaturwerkstätte für landwirtschaftliche Maschinen mit Dampfbetrieb'' (in English: Andreas Glas, repair-shop for steam-powered agricultural machines).

Glas (book)
''Glas'' (also translated as ''Clang'') is a 1974 book by the French philosopher Jacques Derrida. It combines a reading of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel's philosophical works and of Jean Genet's autobiographical writing. "One of Derrida's more inscrutable books," its form and content invite a reflection on the nature of literary genre and of writing. Structure and content Columns Following the structure of Jean Genet's ''Ce qui est resté d'un Rembrandt déchiré en petits carrés bien réguliers, et foutu aux chiottes'' What Remains of a Rembrandt Torn into Four Equal Pieces and Flushed Down the Toilet" the book is written in two columns in different type sizes. The left column is about Hegel, the right column is about Genet. Each column weaves its way around quotations of all kinds, both from the works discussed and from dictionaries—Derrida's "side notes", described as "marginalia, supplementary comments, lengthy quotations, and dictionary definitions." Sometimes words a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Reception Tibor Fischer, writing in ''The Guardian'', said: "It is a tribute to the material in Glas 40: War and Peace that it reads almost as if no one has written about war before. Glas magazine, which launches Russian writing into the English-speaking world, has quietly championed some forgotten, some unrecognised and some new writers, and it has hit the jackpot with this collection."

According to the ''Lebor Gabála Érenn'', Geoffrey Keating's ''Foras Feasa ar Éirinn'' and the ''Annals of the Four Masters'', he came to power after killing the joint High King, Cermna Finn, in battle at Dún Cermna (Downmacpatrick in Kinsale, County Cork), and Cermna's brother and colleague Sobairce was killed by Eochaid Menn of the Fomorians (another version of the ''Lebor Gabála'' says he came to power at the end of a seven-year interregnum following the death of Tigernmas).
