Métis
The Métis ( ; Canadian ) are Indigenous peoples who inhabit Canada's three Prairie Provinces, as well as parts of British Columbia, the Northwest Territories, and the Northern United States. They have a shared history and culture which derives from specific mixed European (primarily French) and Indigenous ancestry which became a distinct culture through ethnogenesis by the mid-18th century, during the early years of the North American fur trade. In Canada, the Métis, with a population of 624,220 as of 2021, are one of three major groups of Indigenous peoples that were legally recognized in the Constitution Act of 1982, the other two groups being the First Nations and Inuit. Smaller communities who self-identify as Métis exist in Canada and the United States, such as the Little Shell Tribe of Chippewa Indians of Montana. The United States recognizes the Little Shell Tribe as an Ojibwe Native American tribe. Alberta is the only Canadian province with a recognized Métis Nati ...

9 Metis
Metis ( minor planet designation: 9 Metis) is one of the larger main-belt asteroids. It is composed of silicates and metallic nickel-iron, and may be the core remnant of a large asteroid that was destroyed by an ancient collision. Metis is estimated to contain just under half a percent of the total mass of the asteroid belt. Metis passed within 0.034AU, or , of Vesta on 19 August 2004. Discovery and naming Metis was discovered by Andrew Graham on 25 April 1848, at Markree Observatory in Ireland; it was his only asteroid discovery. It also has been the only asteroid to have been discovered as a result of observations from Ireland until 7 October 2008, when, 160 years later, Dave McDonald from observatory J65 discovered (281507) 2008 TM9. Its name comes from the mythological Metis, a Titaness and Oceanid, daughter of Tethys and Oceanus. The name ''Thetis'' was also considered and rejected (it would later devolve to 17 Thetis).

Metis (Character)
Atlus's 2006 role-playing video game ''Persona 3'' focuses on the exploits of the Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad (SEES), a group of high-schoolers defending their home city from monsters known as Shadows. ''Persona 3'' is set in a fictional Japanese city in the year 2009. Due to past events, there is a hidden period between one day and the next, known as the "Dark Hour", during which most people become unconscious (a state the game calls "Transmogrification", symbolized by normal people turning into floating coffins), and Shadows feed on the minds of those still aware of their surroundings. In addition, a large tower called Tartarus, filled with Shadows, rises out of the ground during the Dark Hour. SEES is composed of students attending Gekkoukan High School. The player names and controls the game's protagonist, who leads SEES in its exploration of Tartarus. ''Persona 3'' mixes elements of role-playing and simulation games: during the day, the player attends school, an ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Metis (mythology)
Metis (; grc, Μῆτις, Mêtis, wisdom', 'skill', or 'craft), in ancient Greek religion and mythology, was a Oceanid nymph, one of the daughters of the Titans Oceanus and Tethys. Metis is notable for helping a young Zeus free his siblings from his father Cronus' belly by supplying him with a special drug. After Zeus became king, he and Metis were married, and she bore him a daughter, Athena, the goddess of wisdom. After hearing a prophecy stating that after Metis gave birth to Athena, she would have a son mightier than Zeus who would overthrow him, Zeus tricked the still pregnant Metis and swallowed her whole. Function By the era of Greek philosophy in the 5th century BC, Metis had become the first deity of wisdom and deep thought, but her name originally connoted "magical cunning" and was as easily equated with the trickster powers of Prometheus as with the "royal ''metis''" of Zeus. The Stoic commentators allegorised Metis as the embodiment of "prudence", "wisdom" or " ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Metis (moon)
Metis , also known as , is the innermost known moon of Jupiter. It was discovered in 1979 in images taken by ''Voyager 1'', and was named in 1983 after the first wife of Zeus, Metis. Additional observations made between early 1996 and September 2003 by the ''Galileo'' spacecraft allowed its surface to be imaged. Metis is tidally locked to Jupiter, and its shape is strongly asymmetrical, with one of the diameters being almost twice as large as the smallest one. It is also one of the two moons known to orbit Jupiter in less than the length of Jupiter's day, the other being Adrastea. It orbits within the main ring of Jupiter, and is thought to be a major contributor of material to the rings. Discovery and observations Metis was discovered in 1979 by Stephen P. Synnott in images taken by the ''Voyager 1'' probe and was provisionally designated as . In 1983, it was officially named after the mythological Metis, a Titaness who was the first wife of Zeus (the Greek equivalen ...

Metis (theorem Prover)
The Isabelle automated theorem prover is a higher-order logic (HOL) theorem prover, written in Standard ML and Scala. As an LCF-style theorem prover, it is based on a small logical core (kernel) to increase the trustworthiness of proofs without requiring yet supporting explicit proof objects. Isabelle is available inside a flexible system framework allowing for logically safe extensions, which comprise both theories as well as implementations for code-generation, documentation, and specific support for a variety of formal methods. It can be seen as an IDE for formal methods. In recent years, a substantial number of theories and system extensions have been collected in the Isabelle ''Archive of Formal Proofs'' (Isabelle AFP) Isabelle was named by Lawrence Paulson after Gérard Huet's daughter. The Isabelle theorem prover is free software, released under the revised BSD license. Features Isabelle is generic: it provides a meta-logic (a weak type theory), which is used to en ...
