Ord Of Caithness
The Ord of Caithness is a granite mass on the east coast of the Highland council area of Scotland, on the boundary of the counties Sutherland and Caithness. It is north-east of Helmsdale. It forms a headland high, known as Ord Point. The A9 road passes above the Ord; there are sharp bends as it follows the contours. History Historically, "the grim barrier of the Ord guaranteed its .e. Caithness'sisolation, and travellers who passed that way were greatly impressed by the experience." It was described in the 1880s: "The old road over it, formerly the only land ingress to Caithness, traversed the crest of its stupendous seaward precipices at a height and in a manner most appalling to both man and beast... even the present road, formed in 1811... has very stiff gradients."Francis Groome Francis Hindes Groome (30 August 1851 – 24 January 1902), son of Robert Hindes Groome, Archdeacon of Suffolk, was a writer and foremost commentator of his time on the Romani people, their langua ...

Category Of Preordered Sets
In mathematics, the category Ord has preordered sets as objects and order-preserving functions as morphisms. This is a category because the composition of two order-preserving functions is order preserving and the identity map is order preserving. The monomorphisms in Ord are the injective order-preserving functions. The empty set (considered as a preordered set) is the initial object of Ord, and the terminal objects are precisely the singleton preordered sets. There are thus no zero objects in Ord. The categorical product in Ord is given by the product order on the cartesian product. We have a forgetful functor Ord → Set that assigns to each preordered set the underlying set, and to each order-preserving function the underlying function. This functor is faithful, and therefore Ord is a concrete category. This functor has a left adjoint (sending every set to that set equipped with the equality relation) and a right adjoint (sending every set to that set equipped with the tota ...

Verein Für Germanisches Heidentum
The Verein für germanisches Heidentum (), abbreviated VfgH, is a Germanic neopagan organisation in Germany. It began in 1994 as the German chapter of the British Odinic Rite and was called the Odinic Rite Deutschland. It became independent in 2004 and changed its name in 2006. It practices Germanic paganism as a polytheistic religion connected to the region of Central and Northern Europe, rejecting both ''völkisch'' religiosity and universalist approaches. History In 1994, a group created the Odinic Rite Deutschland (ORD) as a German chapter of the Germanic neopagan organisation Odinic Rite (OR), which is based in the United Kingdom. In its early history the ORD was heavily influenced by Bernd Hicker who was its chairman for seven years. It collaborated with the group Yggdrasil-Kreis in the 1990s; this group professed a "European religion of nature" and sought to combine Germanic and Celtic paganism. Due to concerns about connections between the British OR and far-right poli ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ord (comics)
Ord is a fictional character, a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character has been depicted specifically as an enemy of the X-Men. He first appeared in ''Astonishing X-Men'' #1 in May 2004. He was created by writer Joss Whedon and artist John Cassaday. Fictional character biography Ord's mission Ord is a member of an alien race from a planet called the Breakworld. He was sent to Earth by the ruler of the Breakworld, Powerlord Kruun, on a mission to stop a mutant from Earth from destroying their planet (an event predicted using their race's advanced technology). To this end Ord obtained the body of the X-Man Colossus and resurrected him using superior Breakworld technology. Ord proceeded to experiment on Colossus and with the assistance of the human scientist Dr. Kavita Rao using his DNA to develop a cure for the mutant condition in the hope that this would prevent the destruction of his planet. In doing all this Ord was acting w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ord Mantell
The fictional universe of the ''Star Wars'' franchise features multiple planets and moons. While only the feature films and selected other works are considered canon to the franchise since the 2012 acquisition of Lucasfilm by The Walt Disney Company, some canon planets were first named or explored in works from the non-canon ''Star Wars'' expanded universe, now rebranded ''Star Wars Legends''. In the theatrical ''Star Wars'' films, many scenes set on these planets and moons were filmed on location rather than on a sound stage. For example, the resort city of Canto Bight located on the planet Cantonica, seen in '' Star Wars: The Last Jedi'' (2017), was filmed in Dubrovnik, Croatia. ''Star Wars'' canon astrography The ''Star Wars'' galaxy contains several broad sub-regions. Their exact definitions fluctuated somewhat during the ''Legends'' continuity, but were later formally updated by the new canon continuity when Disney purchased Lucasfilm. The new canon map is broad ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ord Publishing
Omniscriptum Publishing Group, formerly known as VDM Verlag Dr. Müller, is a German publishing group headquartered in Riga, Latvia. Founded in 2002 in Düsseldorf, its book production is based on print-to-order technology. The company publishes theses, research notes, and dissertations through its e-commerce bookstores. Its publishing methods have been questioned for the soliciting of manuscripts from individuals, and for providing authors with the appearance of a peer-reviewed publishing history. OmniScriptum is designated as non-academic by the Norwegian Scientific Index, and its subsidiary Lambert Academic Publishing has been described as a predatory vanity press which does "not apply the basic standards of academic publishing such as peer-review, editorial or proof-reading processes." The company also offers print-to order publishing for fiction authors. It previously specialized in publishing and selling Wikipedia articles, but has stated that the practice of publishing ...

Multiplicative Order
In number theory, given a positive integer ''n'' and an integer ''a'' coprime to ''n'', the multiplicative order of ''a'' modulo ''n'' is the smallest positive integer ''k'' such that a^k\ \equiv\ 1 \pmod n. In other words, the multiplicative order of ''a'' modulo ''n'' is the order of ''a'' in the multiplicative group of the units in the ring of the integers modulo ''n''. The order of ''a'' modulo ''n'' is sometimes written as \operatorname_n(a). Example The powers of 4 modulo 7 are as follows: : \begin 4^0 &= 1 &=0 \times 7 + 1 &\equiv 1\pmod7 \\ 4^1 &= 4 &=0 \times 7 + 4 &\equiv 4\pmod7 \\ 4^2 &= 16 &=2 \times 7 + 2 &\equiv 2\pmod7 \\ 4^3 &= 64 &=9 \times 7 + 1 &\equiv 1\pmod7 \\ 4^4 &= 256 &=36 \times 7 + 4 &\equiv 4\pmod7 \\ 4^5 &= 1024 &=146 \times 7 + 2 &\equiv 2\pmod7 \\ \vdots\end The smallest positive integer ''k'' such that 4''k'' ≡ 1 (mod 7) is 3, so the order of 4 (mod 7) is 3. Properties Even without knowledge that we are working in the multiplicative gro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Order Type
In mathematics, especially in set theory, two ordered sets and are said to have the same order type if they are order isomorphic, that is, if there exists a bijection (each element pairs with exactly one in the other set) f\colon X \to Y such that both and its inverse are monotonic (preserving orders of elements). In the special case when is totally ordered, monotonicity of implies monotonicity of its inverse. For example, the set of integers and the set of even integers have the same order type, because the mapping n\mapsto 2n is a bijection that preserves the order. But the set of integers and the set of rational numbers (with the standard ordering) do not have the same order type, because even though the sets are of the same size (they are both countably infinite), there is no order-preserving bijective mapping between them. To these two order types we may add two more: the set of positive integers (which has a least element), and that of negative integers (which has a ...

Ordinal Number
In set theory, an ordinal number, or ordinal, is a generalization of ordinal numerals (first, second, th, etc.) aimed to extend enumeration to infinite sets. A finite set can be enumerated by successively labeling each element with the least natural number that has not been previously used. To extend this process to various infinite sets, ordinal numbers are defined more generally as linearly ordered labels that include the natural numbers and have the property that every set of ordinals has a least element (this is needed for giving a meaning to "the least unused element"). This more general definition allows us to define an ordinal number \omega that is greater than every natural number, along with ordinal numbers \omega + 1, \omega + 2, etc., which are even greater than \omega. A linear order such that every subset has a least element is called a well-order. The axiom of choice implies that every set can be well-ordered, and given two well-ordered sets, one is isomorphic to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
