Tit (bird)
The tits, chickadees, and Titmouse, titmice constitute the Paridae, a family of small passerine birds which occur mainly in the Northern Hemisphere and Africa. Many were formerly classified in the genus ''Parus''. Eurasian and African members of this family are referred to as "tits", while North American species are called either "chickadees" (onomatopoeic, derived from their distinctive "chick-a dee dee dee" alarm call) or "titmice". The name titmouse is recorded from the 14th century, composed of the Old English language, Old English name for the bird, ''mase'' (Proto-Germanic ''*maison'', Dutch language, Dutch ''mees'', German language, German ''Meise''), and tit, denoting something small. The former spelling, "titmose", was influenced by ''mouse'' in the 16th century. Emigrants to New Zealand presumably identified some of the superficially similar birds of the genus ''Petroica'' of the family Petroicidae, the Australian robins, as members of the tit family, giving them the ti ...

The Stranglers
The Stranglers are an English rock music, rock band formed in 1974. Scoring 23 UK top 40 singles and 20 UK top 40 albums to date in a career spanning five decades, the Stranglers are one of the longest-surviving bands to have originated in the UK punk scene. Formed as the Guildford Stranglers in Guildford, Surrey, in early 1974, they originally built a following within the mid-1970s Pub rock (United Kingdom), pub rock scene. While their aggressive, no-compromise attitude had them identified by the media with the emerging UK punk rock scene that followed, their idiosyncratic approach rarely followed any single musical genre, and the group went on to explore a variety of musical styles, from new wave music, new wave, art rock and gothic rock through the sophisti-pop of some of their 1980s output. They had major mainstream success with their 1982 single "Golden Brown". Their other hits include "No More Heroes (The Stranglers song), No More Heroes", "Peaches (The Stranglers song), ...

Indiscreet (Sparks Album)
''Indiscreet'' is the fifth studio album by Sparks, released in October 1975 by Island Records. The album was a departure from the glam rock sound of '' Kimono My House'' and ''Propaganda'', and emphasised the theatrical elements of their work, with greater use of orchestral arrangements and drawing from non-rock orientated styles such as jazz, big band, swing, vaudeville, and classical music. The album was produced by Tony Visconti, with whom the group reunited in 1997 to produce several tracks for their retrospective album ''Plagiarism.'' The song "How Are You Getting Home?" was used in Leos Carax's film ''Holy Motors''. Release ''Indiscreet'' was released in October 1975, nearly a year after Sparks' previous album and would be the third album recorded with a British-based line-up. It was not as successful as ''Kimono My House'' or ''Propaganda''; reaching #18 on the UK Album Chart The group's next two albums were even less successful in Europe and the US. They would not garn ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sparks (band)
Sparks is an American pop music, pop and rock music, rock duo formed by brothers Ron Mael, Ron (keyboards) and Russell Mael (vocals) in Los Angeles. The duo is noted for their quirky approach to songwriting; their music is often accompanied by sophisticated and wikt:acerbic, acerbic lyrics—often about women, and sometimes containing literary or cinematic references—and an idiosyncratic, theatrical stage presence, typified by the contrast between Russell's animated, hyperactive frontman antics and Ron's deadpan scowling. Russell Mael has a distinctive wide-ranging voice, while Ron Mael plays keyboards in an intricate and rhythmic style. Their frequently changing styles and visual presentations have kept the band at the forefront of modern, artful pop music. Career highlights include "This Town Ain't Big Enough for Both of Us", which reached No. 2 on the UK Singles Chart in 1974; the disco hit "The Number One Song in Heaven" in 1979, resulting from a collaboration with Giorgio ...

Epistle Of Paul To Titus
The Epistle to Titus is one of the three pastoral epistles (along with 1 Timothy and 2 Timothy) in the New Testament, historically attributed to Paul the Apostle. It is addressed to Saint Titus and describes the requirements and duties of presbyters/bishops. Harris, Stephen L., ''Understanding the Bible''. Palo Alto: Mayfield. 1985. Text The epistle is divided into three chapters, 46 verses in total. Recipient Not mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles, Saint Titus was noted in Galatians (cf. Galatians 2:1, 3) where Paul wrote of journeying to Jerusalem with Barnabas, accompanied by Titus. He was then dispatched to Corinth, Greece, where he successfully reconciled the Christian community there with Paul, its founder. Titus was later left on the island of Crete to help organize the Church there, and later met back with the Apostle Paul in Nicopolis. He soon went to Dalmatia (now Croatia). According to Eusebius of Caesarea in the ''Ecclesiastical History'', he served as the fi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Texas Institute Of Technology And Science
The Texas Institute of Technology and Science (TITS) is a proposal by Elon Musk to open a university in Austin, Texas. Background Musk's personal views include frequent criticism of the American education system. In 2014, he founded Astra Nova School (then Ad Astra School) after pulling his five children out of school because he disapproved of the curriculum, and how it was presented. In October 2021, Musk tweeted that he would start a new university named Texas Institute of Technology and Science, which corresponds to the acronym TITS. Musk added, "it will have epic merch, universally admired". The name, specifically the acronym, was criticized as sexist. Afterwards, Cher Scarlett, a software engineer and one of the leaders of the #AppleToo anti-harassment group at Apple, described Musk of contributing to a systemic problem in which women in technology companies are being sexualized by male colleagues, originating from executives at the top influencing the company cul ...

Turkish Revenge Brigade
The Turkish Revenge Brigade (, TİT), also referred as the Turkish Vengeance Brigade, is a militant Turkish nationalist organisation that has used violence against those they perceive as insulting Turkey. In the political violence of the 1970s, TİT gained notoriety during political clashes and is believed to be responsible for over 1,000 deaths during this period. After the military coup of 1980, most of its members were arrested. They were later released and utilised by the Turkish military intelligence in operations during the Kurdish-Turkish conflict. Activity 1979 In 1979, police arrested a man named Cengiz Ayhan in Mersin on charges of being the leader of the Turkish Revenge Brigade. Ayhan denied the charges and claimed he was falsely accused of involvement in the group due to his opposition to leftist groups in Turkey. 1993 According to Human Rights Watch, the murders of parliamentary deputy Mehmet Sincar and the journalist Ferhat Tepe in 1993 were carried out in ...

Tits Group
In group theory, the Tits group 2''F''4(2)′, named for Jacques Tits (), is a finite simple group of order : 17,971,200 = 211 · 33 · 52 · 13. This is the only simple group that is a derivative of a group of Lie type that is not a group of Lie type in any series from exceptional isomorphisms. It is sometimes considered a 27th sporadic group. History and properties The Ree groups 2''F''4(22''n''+1) were constructed by , who showed that they are simple if ''n'' ≥ 1. The first member 2''F''4(2) of this series is not simple. It was studied by who showed that it is almost simple, its derived subgroup 2''F''4(2)′ of index 2 being a new simple group, now called the Tits group. The group 2''F''4(2) is a group of Lie type and has a BN pair, but the Tits group itself does not have a BN pair. The Tits group is member of the infinite family 2''F''4(22''n''+1)′ of commutator groups of the Ree groups, and thus by def ...

Tits Alternative
In mathematics, the Tits alternative, named after Jacques Tits, is an important theorem about the structure of finitely generated linear groups. Statement The theorem, proven by Tits, is stated as follows. Consequences A linear group is not amenable if and only if it contains a non-abelian free group (thus the von Neumann conjecture, while not true in general, holds for linear groups). The Tits alternative is an important ingredient in the proof of Gromov's theorem on groups of polynomial growth. In fact the alternative essentially establishes the result for linear groups (it reduces it to the case of solvable groups, which can be dealt with by elementary means). Generalizations In geometric group theory, a group ''G'' is said to satisfy the Tits alternative if for every subgroup ''H'' of ''G'' either ''H'' is virtually solvable or ''H'' contains a nonabelian free subgroup (in some versions of the definition this condition is only required to be satisfied for all finite ...
