Q1619044 Himeros (called Euhemeros by Diodorus) was an Iranian officer of Hyrcanian origin, who controlled Babylonia on behalf of the Arsacid king Phraates II (r. 138-128) from 129 BC.Although Himeros never took the title of king, he was of great significance. He is mentioned by various ancient historians, such as Diodorus and Justin on account of his exceptional atrocities.Phraates II was confronted with war on two fronts during his reign. In the west, the Seleucids attacked and in the east the nomadic peoples, who had already destroyed the Greco-Bactrian kingdom, threatened. Phraates II moved east against these nomads and appointed Himeros who was one of his favourites on account of his good appearance as satrap in Mesopotamia.Himeros' tenure stood out principally for his tyrannical atrocities and constant harassment of his subjects in Babylon and the surrounding cities. He would have even his own underlings sold into slavery. He set fire to the agora and the temple of Babylon and destroyed wide sections of the city. Perhaps because of this, his rule, which also encompassed Seleucia on the Tigris and Ctesiphon, seems to have been very brief indeed. Shortly before 127 BC, Hyspaosines is attested in Babylon as ruler. The later fate of Himeros is unknown.

Q7121625 Pablo Flores is a Puerto Rican DJ, record producer, remixer and arranger; known for being the world's premier Latin remixer and DJ.At the age of 16, Pablo Flores was already putting his love of pop music to work managing San Juan, Puerto Rico's top record store and eventually, at 19, opening his own music store "El Discobolo". Even though it carried a wide variety of music genres, “El Discobolo” specialized in dance music, catering to club DJs.Flores' expertise in dance music then led to a 17-year career as Latin America's top club DJ, spinning records at San Juan's legendary Bachelor discothèque. There, he created exclusive versions of current songs, transforming romantic Latin ballads into high energy dance floor hits by blending Latin, European and American rhythms,into his own unique sound.In 1984, Flores' distinctive mixing style caught the attention of Miami Sound Machine's Emilio and Gloria Estefan, at the time preparing theirfirst English-language record. After visiting Bachelor and hearing Flores' up-tempo version of one of their ballads, they asked him toremix the first single, “Dr. Beat”, from their forthcoming album, their first in English. Topping the dance charts in the U.S. and Europe, that remix of “Dr. Beat”paved the way for Gloria Estefan's signature hit “Conga”. Flores' remix of “Conga” was the version released as the single and album track, catapulting Gloria's career as the top Latin crossoverartist in the last 30 years, and establishing Flores' reputation as a hit making remixer. Since then, Pablo has produced over 30 remixes forGloria Estefan.Time and time again he has proven to be a major influence in many artists’ careers.In 1996 Ricky Martin was well known in Latin America but it was Flores' and longtime friend and collaborator Javier Garza's remixedversion of “Maria”, that exploded worldwide, selling millions of copies and establishing Ricky's crossover success. Because of the impactof that remix, with its fusion of Brazilian and Afro-Latin percussion, Ricky was asked to create a theme for the 1998 World Cup, and sothe mega-hit “The Cup of Life” was created, with many of the melodic and percussive elements of the “Maria” remix. Flores' remix of“The Cup of Life” was one of 1998's biggest selling records. Pablo has made a total of 14 remixes for Ricky Martin.Superstar Madonna also sought out Flores' unique sound for her singles “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina” and “Buenos Aires” from her film“Evita”. The only commissioned remix of that song, Flores' version of “Don’t Cry...” sold millions and generated pop radio's interest inplaying the song.Another notable example of Flores' versatility and knack for creating pop hits is Colombian superstar Shakira. In addition to producing five important remixes for Shakira, Flores delved into the world of songwriting and co-wrote and co-produced hersmash hit “Ojos Asi”, the Arab influenced rock / dance tune that not only jump- started her international success, but earned her a2000 Grammy. More than any other song from her extensive catalog, “Ojos Asi” is featured on five different Shakira albums, includingan English language version, “Eyes Like Yours”, on the multi-platinum “Laundry Service”.Flores' remix of Jennifer Lopez's first single “If You Had My Love” was featured in the video of that song, earning her a Best Dance Video Grammy nomination. He has remixed 5 tracks for Ms. Lopez, and received a Grammy nomination for mixing her signature song "Let's Get Loud"Another part of Flores' multi-faceted career was his 3 years (1987-1990) as an exclusive remixer for popular Puerto Rican radio station, KQ-105, and in 1989 asresident DJ on the hit Puerto Rican TV show, Party Time.Pablo has continued to develop his unique style as evidenced in hits from not only major Latin artists like Ricky Martin, Marc Anthony, Thalia, Chayanne, Yolandita Monge, Julio Iglesias, Carlos Vives and Olga Tañón, among many others, but also from mainstream pop stars such as Madonna, Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, Christina Aguilera, Will Smith, N’sync, Backstreet Boys, Phil Collins and Mandy Moore to name a few.In 2011, Flores collaborated again with his mentor, Gloria Estefan. “Miss Little Havana”, Estefan's first release in English in 8 years, produced “Wepa”, and the 2nd single “Hotel Nacional” both of which reached the #1 spot on Billboard's Dance Charts. Flores' remixes of both songs are considered to be among the most outstanding.His most recent remix work is "This is Our Love" for new Miami based singer Sophi, and the anthem "I'm Free" for Dutch superstar Angelique Van Hamersveld.From 2011 to 2015, Pablo returned to his DJ and Radio roots, with a popular mix show on Puerto Rico radio station Magic 97.3.On Aug. 17, 2013 Pablo presented a tribute event, in San Juan, Puerto Rico, for the legendary Bachelor disco called "Bachelor Forever 2013" where he performed as a DJ for the first time in over 20 years. That event was the most successful 2013 Dance event in Puerto Rico, with over 3,500 people attending.On Jan. 28, 2017, Pablo, together with his partner Norberto "Junior" Molina, opened their own internet radio station named BPM Dance Radio, specializing in 70's, 80's and 90's Dance Music.

He has been an editor-in-chief of New Age Journal (which won a National Magazine Award and a Washington Monthly Award for Investigative Journalism under his tenure); and an editor at Psychology Today (where he was a finalist for the PEN Award); and Natural Health. He has also done journalistic writing for Conde Nast publications on the arts and the environment. He is Founder and Executive Director of the Green World Campaign (2006–present).As editor-in-chief of New Age Journal in the early 1980s, he was a spokesman for what demographer Paul Ray labelled "the Cultural Creatives." Barasch's cogent, critical, and not infrequently witty perspective influenced a movement which, ignored by mainstream media at the time, has become a driving force in American society. Barasch, a practicing Buddhist, spoke of an "emergent civilization" whose spiritual and environmental values would inform social, economic, and political practice. At the same time, Barasch wrote skeptically of what he called "new-age Calvinism" and of what he viewed as the woolly-mindedness of some of his cohorts. Barasch went on to edit other national publications (Psychology Today, Natural Health) where he produced a noticeable tilt toward the interests and concerns of the "cultural creatives" (lately grouped under the marketing term,"LOHAS").The Jungian psychoanalyst Claire Douglas, reviewing Barasch's book Healing Dreams in the Washington Post, cites "a poetic intensity" and "trail-blazing contributions to dream research." Barasch's bestselling study of spontaneous remission, Remarkable Recovery (with researcher Caryle Hirshberg) was the subject of a Newsweek article and garnered wide attention in the medical world. Israeli oncologist Dr. Moshe Frenkel of M.D. Anderson Hospital acknowledged the book as an impetus for a multi-institutional study of spontaneous remission and advocated its call for a Remarkable Recovery Registry. Barasch has participated in several international medical roundtables drawing upon this work, as well as his work championing a rigorous role for spirituality in the medical system. Barasch's Field Notes on the Compassionate Life [1] a work of literary nonfiction blending scientific findings on altruism and empathy with psychology, spirituality, and a first-person exploration of human potential, attracted the support of figures like South African Nobel Prize winner Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Following its publication in 2005, Barasch lectured extensively around the U.S. calling for compassion and empathy to be "central organizing principles for civic life." He has advocated the practice of compassion as the connecting thread of the faith traditions, which he first articulated in a 2006 keynote address at the influential Episcopal Servant Leadership retreat in Asheville, N.C. He is also credited with helping to incept and catalyze the "Compassionate Cities" movement. The book was re-published in 2009 in paperback as The Compassionate Life.In broadcast media, Barasch's script for a 1992 global television special "One Child, One Voice" addressed world environmental issues with a blunt urgency. When advertisers shunned it, maverick broadcaster Ted Turner distributed the show minus commercials to 160-odd countries, appending his own on-camera appeal, and a 2002 re-edited broadcast won an Emmy Award. Barasch has executive produced TV specials for the Discovery Channel and England's Channel Four, and developed film projects at Columbia Pictures. He served as one of the early producers of the National Public Radio Show "E-Town." In 2005, he created a short-lived partnership with Fred Fuchs, former head of Francis Coppola's American Zoetrope Studio and former arts and entertainment chief for the Canadian Broadcasting company. Barasch has also produced film shorts to promote environmental causes.In 2006, Barasch founded the Green World Campaign, a nonprofit whose stated mission is restoring the ecology and economy of struggling villages living on degraded land. With its slogan, "ReGreen the World," the organization has proposed massive regeneration of degraded woodland landscapes and anthropogenic savannah through holistic agroforestry, eco-agriculture, and afforestation/reforestation (A/R). It has connected donors and the public to grassroots efforts, particularly tree-planting, with interactive technology and media-driven campaigns. Barasch, who has referred to his strategy as "green compassion," has focused on planting multi-purpose trees (MPTs) to address a synergistic grab-bag of issues: restoration of indigenous ecology, poverty, sustainable rural economy, soil remediation, cultural preservation, biodiversity, and carbon sequestration. (Such an approach has lately become known by the term-of-art, "landscape restoration," with some 1.6 billion hectares worldwide deemed suitable by the U.N.) The first pilot program was in Ethiopia's Gurage Zone, and work then expanded to Ethiopia's Menegasha-Suba forest; Mexico's San Juan Atzingo forest; Orissa, India; Mindanao, Philippines; Kenya's Great Lakes region; and Bulumbi, Uganda. In 2011, a Green World Campaign office opened in Mombasa, Kenya, the country where it now focuses its work. The group evolved what it calls "holistic low-carbon development pathways" for struggling rural communities including Green World Schools programs (now numbering 85 in Kenya; co-management of Kenya's 15,000-acre Rumuruti Forest with an association of 5000 smallholder farmers; "clean" cookstoves (low-emissions, low fuel);"green" charcoal from agricultural waste (with the M.I.T.-based group Takachar); and a complementary currency project, Eco-Pesa, in Kenya's Kongowea slums. Barasch has served on the advisory committee of the United Nations Forum on Forests Secretariat for the International Year of Forests 2011.In 2010, Barasch initiated with Will Ruddick, then director of Green World Campaign-Kenya, a "complementary currency” called the Eco-Pesa. [2] This paper voucher system provided a new medium of exchange for the impoverished residents of Kenya's Kongowea slums, directing funding to community development, environmental rehabilitation and health-promoting activities. Participating community members received payments in Eco-Pesa redeemable at community businesses, which then circulated it among themselves, increasing local economic activity by approximately 10x. Encouraged by this success, Barasch proposed a “Green World Credit” system to fund global reforestation, which he referred to as a “treeconomy.” A second currency was launched in Miyani, Kenya, backed by a community maize mill. Ruddick founded Grassroots Economics [3], which in 2018 with Bancor Foundation launched a blockchain-based "Liquid Community Currency” designed to operate over SMS/USSD. Marc Barasch, in a 2018 interview in Forbes [4] on what he heralded as the “Regenerative Revolution,” proposed a blockchain-based, global “Green World Token” based on conservation and development of natural capital (trees, agroecology, carbon-storing soil organic matter, restored hydrological cycles, etc.). Also in 2018, Barasch incepted and co-convened a conference of 300 leaders in the regenerative field in San Francisco’s Mission District, ReGen18 [5]In 2012, a Green World Campaign project was begun in Miyani, Kenya to plant drought-tolerant moringa trees, which some claim is the world's most nutrient-dense plant, for soil restoration, food security, and climate change adaptation. This led to a partnership with the Kenyan Red Cross, and a village-based women's social enterprise pressing seed-oil for local use in cooking and body-care. Barasch coined the term "regenerative enterprise" to describe a proposed business [www.greenworldventures.net] of commodities produced from moringa seed oil and high-protein leaf powder. Barasch conceived and launched the Green World Children's Choirs in 2012, collaborating with Disney and Broadway composer Alan Menken, Broadway lyricist Lynne Ahrens, and educator Yunus Sola of the Abraham's Path Initiative. The first choir was drawn from Malaysia's Tenby Schools. In 2013, Green World Schools programs began to incorporate peace and conflict resolution, which expanded into a "Trees for Peace" movement initiated by GWC-Kenya country director Will Ruddick to avert violence in the Kenyan elections. This was joined by youth organizations like the Kenyan Scouts and the national Wildlife Clubs. It led to a new project, funded by Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund, to restore Kenya's Pungu Watershed. In 2013, Barasch began an outreach to global faith communities under the slogan, "Plant a seed of spirit in the soil of the world." In January 2015, he launched an initiative, the "Green World Charter to Renew the Tree of Life," in partnership with the Parliament of the World's Religions. The initiative's goal is a joint announcement by religious and spiritual leaders at the Parliament's October, 2015 conference to match the goals of the New York Declaration on Forests to regreen a billion acres by 2030.Barasch designed an interactive art installation for public participation in "re-greening the world" for a Google-sponsored exhibit at New York's Chelsea Art Museum and the Streaming Museum (a virtual consortium of public art groups in 23 global cities focused on urban media facades). The project, originally titled "Mission to Earth," culminated in an interactive motion graphics display, running on a dozen screens in New York's Time Square on Earth Day, 2011. The project, called "Text TREE," spread widely through social media, and received an International Green Award in London. It was subsequently adopted by pop star Jason Mraz, who integrated "Text TREE" and its "Treemometer" into his summer-fall, 2012 "Love is a Four-Letter Word" tour. Barasch is a popular lecturer and "thought-leader" who has appeared on TV shows like "Good Morning, America" and "NBC Dateline," and made appearances at Art Center College of Design's Big Picture, Mindshare L.A. University of California’s Mind/SuperMind series, Oxford, T.E.D.-x, et al.He had a co-starring role in a feature documentary by director Tom Shadyac ("Bruce Almighty," "Liar, Liar") entitled "I Am," a film based in part on Barasch's Field Notes on the Compassionate Life, and which was theatrically released in 70 U.S. venues to mostly favorable reviews.Barasch grew up in New Rochelle, New York and is the son of well-known film and television writer/producer Norman Barasch. He was educated at Yale University, where he studied literature, psychology, anthropology, and film. He was a founding member of the psychology department at Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado, the first accredited Buddhist-established university in the U.S. He has served on the faculty of the Institute for Religion and Health (Houston, TX), and on a white paper advisory panel at George Washington Institute for Spirituality and Health of the School of Medicine and Health Sciences that was tasked with advising the National Institutes of Health on integrating "spirituality" into the health care system.A trained musician, he has played and recorded with the Rock Bottom Remainders, a "lit-rock" band consisting of authors Amy Tan, Stephen King, Maya Angelou, and others. He has collaborated as a lyricist with Grammy and Academy Award-winner Alan Menken, composer of "Beauty and the Beast,""Little Mermaid," "Aladdin," et al., with whom he continues to work on the international Green World Children's Choirs to engage global youth in treeplanting efforts.

Q1620914 Former constellations are old historical western constellations that for various reasons are no longer recognized or were not adopted as official constellations by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). Prior to 1930, many of these defunct constellations were traditional in one or more countries or cultures. Some only lasted decades but others were referred to over many centuries. All are now recognised only for having classical or historical value. Many former constellations had complex Latinised names after objects, people, or mythological or zoological creatures. Others with unwieldy names were shortened for convenience. For example, Scutum Sobiescianum was reduced to Scutum, Mons Mensae to Mensa, and Apparatus Sculptoris to Sculptor.Some of the northern sky's former constellations were placed in the less populated regions between the traditional brighter constellations just to fill gaps. In the southern skies, new constellations were often created from about the 15th century by voyagers who began journeying south of the equator. European countries like England, France, the Netherlands, German or Italian states, etc., often supported and popularised their own constellation outlines. In some cases, different constellations occupied overlapping areas and included the same stars. These former constellations are often found in older books, star charts or star catalogues. The eighty-eight modern constellation names and boundaries were standardised by Eugene Delporte for the IAU in 1930, under an international agreement, removing any possible astronomical ambiguities between astronomers from different countries. Nearly all former or defunct constellations differ in their designated boundaries inasmuch as they have outlines that do not follow the exact lines of right ascension and declination.

Q2458817 The Tualatin Mountains (also known as the West Hills or Southwest Hills of Portland) are a range on the western border of Multnomah County, Oregon, United States. A spur of the Northern Oregon Coast Range, they separate the Tualatin Basin of Washington County, Oregon, from the Portland Basin of western Multnomah County and Clark County, Washington.The highest peak in the range is Dixie Mountain at 1,609 feet (490 m). Other notable peaks include Cornell Mountain at 1,270 feet (390m), Council Crest at 1,073 feet (327 m), and Pittock Hill, location of the Pittock Mansion.The hills date from the late Cenozoic era, and range up to over 1,000 feet (300 m). Composed mainly of basalt, the mountains were formed by several flows of the Grande Ronde basalt flows that were part of the larger Columbia River basalts. Human settlement goes back 10,000 years to the area's earliest known residents, the Chinook people.Despite steep slopes, periodic landslides, and multiple earthquake faults, many residences have been built in the Tualatin Mountains, though much of the northern portion is undeveloped land within the 5,000-acre (20 km2) Forest Park. The landscape, inside and outside the park, is predominantly forested.U.S. Route 26 (the Sunset Highway) is the principal transportation link through the hills, traveling through the Vista Ridge Tunnel, Tanner Creek Canyon, and over the crest of Sylvan Hill. This route through the hills connecting the agricultural Tualatin Basin to the navigable Willamette River was developed as a plank road in the 19th century. The Great Plank Road (Canyon/Jefferson Road) was a major factor in the early growth of the city of Portland.Since 1998, the west side MAX Light Rail has run roughly parallel to US 26 through the hills, including a section tunneled deep underground.
