Picard Language
Picard ( , also , ) is a ''langue d'oïl'' of the Romance languages, Romance language family spoken in the northernmost of France and parts of Hainaut province, Hainaut province in Belgium. Administratively, this area is divided between the French Hauts-de-France region and the Belgian Wallonia along the border between both countries due to its traditional core being the districts of Tournai and Mons, Belgium, Mons (Wallonie Picarde, Walloon Picardy). The language or dialect is referred to by different names, as residents of Picardy call it simply , but in the more populated region of it is called or (sometimes written as ''Chti'' or ''Chtimi''). This is the area that makes up Romance Flanders, around the metropolis of Lille and Douai, and northeast Artois around Béthune and Lens, Pas-de-Calais, Lens. ''Picard'' is also named around Valenciennes, around Roubaix, or simply in general French. In 1998, Picard native speakers amounted to 700,000 individuals, the vast majori ...

Berger Picard
The Berger Picard ( , ) or Picardy Shepherd, is a French herding dog originating in Picardy. These dogs nearly became extinct after both World War I and World War II and remain a rare breed. Appearance The Berger Picard is a medium-sized, well-muscled dog, slightly longer than tall with a tousled yet elegant appearance. Their ears are naturally erect, high-set, and quite wide at the base. Their eyebrows are thick, but do not shield their dark frank eyes. They are known for their smile. Their natural tail normally reaches to the hock and is carried with a slight J-curve at the tip. Their weather-proof coat is harsh and crisp to the touch, not excessively long with a minimal undercoat. Coat colors fall into two colors, fawn and brindle, with a range of shade variations. Temperament The Berger Picard's attributes include a lively, intelligent personality and a sensitive and assertive disposition that responds quickly to obedience training. Picards are easygoing and mellow but ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Picard Surgelés
Picard Surgelés () is a French food company specializing in the manufacture and retail distribution of frozen products. It began as Les Glacières de Fontainebleau in 1906. Picard Surgelés has almost 900 retail stores in France. In 2014, French consumers voted Picard as their favorite brand. The company produces about 700 different products, which are sold exclusively under the Picard brand. History Picard began as ''Les Glacières de Fontainebleau'' in 1906. Raymond Picard founded it as an ice-supply business, to provide households with blocks of ice prior to the advent of home refrigerators. Arnaud Decelle bought the business in 1974 and began to sell frozen vegetables from a store in Paris. Today, Picard is owned jointly by Aryzta (49%) and Lion Capital (51%), and commands about 20 percent of the French frozen food market. In October 2019, Aryzta's board agreed to an offer from the Tunisian investment company Groupe Zouari to divest 43% of its stake in Picard for a sum of ...

Picard (crater)
Picard is a Lunar craters, lunar impact crater that lies in Mare Crisium. The crater is named for 17th century French astronomer and geodesist Jean Picard. It is the biggest non-flooded crater of this mare, being slightly larger than Peirce (crater), Peirce to the north-northwest. To the west is the almost completely flooded crater Yerkes (crater), Yerkes. To east of Picard is the tiny Curtis (crater), Curtis. Picard is a crater from the Eratosthenian period, which lasted from 3.2 to 1.1 billion years ago. Inside Picard is a series of terraces that seismologists have attributed to a collapse of the crater floor. It has a cluster of low hills at the bottom. Satellite craters By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Picard. The following craters have been renamed by the International Astronomical Union, IAU. * Picard G — ''see'' Tebbutt (crater), Tebbutt. * Picard H — ...

Picard Group
In mathematics, the Picard group of a ringed space ''X'', denoted by Pic(''X''), is the group of isomorphism classes of invertible sheaves (or line bundles) on ''X'', with the group operation being tensor product. This construction is a global version of the construction of the divisor class group, or ideal class group, and is much used in algebraic geometry and the theory of complex manifolds. Alternatively, the Picard group can be defined as the sheaf cohomology group :H^1 (X, \mathcal_X^).\, For integral Scheme (mathematics), schemes the Picard group is isomorphic to the class group of Cartier divisors. For complex manifolds the exponential sheaf sequence gives basic information on the Picard group. The name is in honour of Émile Picard's theories, in particular of divisors on algebraic surfaces. Examples * The Picard group of the Spectrum of a ring, spectrum of a Dedekind domain is its ''ideal class group''. * The invertible sheaves on projective space P''n''(''k'') for '' ...

Les Fatals Picards
Les Fatals Picards is a French rock/punk band, founded in 1996. The Fatals Picards (meaning "the fatal enfrom Picardy") are best known to general audiences because they represented France in the Eurovision Song Contest 2007 with the song "L'Amour à la française" (Eng: "Love, French Style"), after winning the national selection. Characteristics The lyrics of the Fatals Picards are often of a parodic or humoristic character, though some songs, more particularly in the recent years, are more of a militant |

Picard Horn
A Picard horn, also called the Picard topology or Picard model, is one of the oldest known hyperbolic 3-manifolds, first described by Émile Picard in 1884. The manifold is the quotient of the upper half-plane model of hyperbolic 3-space by the projective special linear group, \operatorname_2(\mathbf . It was proposed as a model for the shape of the universe in 2004. The term "horn" is due to pseudosphere models of hyperbolic space. Geometry and topology A modern description, in terms of fundamental domain and identifications, can be found in section 3.2, page 63 of Grunewald and Huntebrinker, along with the first 80 eigenvalues of the Laplacian, tabulated on page 72, where \Upsilon_1 is a fundamental domain of the Picard space.Fritz Grunewald and Wolfgang Huntebrinker, A numerical study of eigenvalues of the hyperbolic Laplacian for polyhedra with one cusp', Experiment. Math. Volume 5, Issue 1 (1996), 57-80 Cosmology The term was coined in 2004 by Ralf Aurich, Sven Lustig, Frank ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Picard, California
Picard is a former settlement in Siskiyou County, California. It was at an elevation of 1300 m; all that remains is the cemetery. History Picard was settled in the early 1880s as the first town in the Butte valley when Frank Picard established the Pioneer saloon. Picard sold the saloon to Charles Silver in 1898. A post office opened in 1883, and the La Lake school opened in 1886 as Picard's first school. By 1903, Picard was a farming town and had a church, doctor's office, blacksmith, three general stores and two saloons and hotels. However, a new railway in 1908 bypassed Picard and the majority of businesses and residents moved to Dorris, leaving Picard abandoned. The school closed in 1912. In 1938, the Siskiyou County Board of Supervisors formed the Picard cemetery district as a result of pressure from the Butte Valley American Legion. Prior to this, the cemetery had been cared by volunteers. Notable people * Frank C. High, American soldier, recipient of the Medal of Ho ...

MusicBrainz Picard
MusicBrainz is a MetaBrainz project that aims to create a collaborative music database that is similar to the freedb project. MusicBrainz was founded in response to the restrictions placed on the Compact Disc Database (CDDB), a database for software applications to look up audio CD information on the Internet. MusicBrainz has expanded its goals to reach beyond a CD metadata (information about the performers, artists, songwriters, etc.) storehouse to become a structured online database for music. MusicBrainz captures information about artists, their recorded works, and the relationships between them. Recorded works entries capture the album title, track titles, and the length of each track at a minimum. These entries are maintained by volunteer editors who follow community written style guidelines. Recorded works can also store information about release date and country, the CD ID, cover art, acoustic fingerprint, free-form annotation text and other metadata. , MusicBrainz conta ...
