negative: No More Mr. Nice Guy (book) No More Mr. Nice Guy : A Proven Plan for Getting What You Want in Love , Sex , and Life is a 2003 self-help book by Dr. Robert A. Glover . He describes what he calls the `` Nice guy Syndrome '' , a condition in men who appear to be always nice and avoid conflict at all costs .   Glover 's premise is that nice guys have been conditioned by their childhoods and by society to believe that they will be successful only if they make everyone happy and never cause any problems for others . However , this desire for approval results in self-loathing . In other words , nice guys want approval , but do n't think they deserve it . This creates internal frustration , since nice guys never try to obtain what they want in life . In addition , the nice guy 's desire to obtain approval from everyone ( especially women ) , causes him to actually behave in very un-nice ways . This includes dishonesty ( about themselves ) and passive-aggressive behavior ( `` being unavailable , forgetting , being late , not following through ... '' ) .   Dr. Glover 's prescription involves getting nice guys to recognize that their needs and desires are important , and that to make others happy they must first learn to make themselves happy . One of the primary ways advised in the book to remedy this is for nice guys to learn to embrace and develop their masculine traits , instead of fearing and suppressing them .

query: The Battle of the Trebia occurred on the left bank of the Trebbia River.

positive: Battle of the Trebia The Battle of the Trebia ( or Trebbia ) was the first major battle of the Second Punic War , fought between the Carthaginian forces of Hannibal and the Roman Republic in December of 218 BC , on or around the winter solstice . It was a resounding Roman defeat with heavy losses , and yet some 10,000 and more Romans , over 2.5 legions , survived on the field and retreated in order to Placentia ( Piacenza ) . In this battle , Hannibal got the better of the Romans by exercising the careful and innovative planning for which he was famous . The impetuous and short-sighted opposing general , the consul Tiberius Sempronius Longus , allowed himself to be provoked into a frontal assault under physically difficult circumstances and failed to see that he was being led into a trap .   The battle took place in the flat country of the Province of Piacenza on the left bank of the Trebbia River , a shallow , braided stream , not far south from its confluence ( from the south ) with the Po river . The battle is named for the river . Although the precise location is not known for certain , it is generally accepted as being visible from the Via Emilia , now paralleled by highway A21/E70 and a railroad trunk line , all of which come from Piacenza , a contemporaneously placed Roman colony ( though perhaps on an existing settlement ) , and cross the river north of where the Romans did in the battle . The area is possibly in the comune of Rottofreno at its main settlement , San Nicolò a Trebbia , in the vicinity of the coordinates given at the head of this article.Over the course of more than two millennia the precise configuration of the Trebbia and its streams as well as that of the Po have changed geologically . Although the location of Placentia is believed to be roughly the same , the original surfaces are under new layers of sediment and the locations of the bends , the depths and widths of the streams all have changed . Construction in the area also has been extensive , not to mention the turning over of the soil and obliteration of features by heavy bombing when the bridges and rail lines were destroyed in World War II . The Trebbia and the Po are currently heavily diked .

negative: Trebbia The Trebbia ( stressed Trèbbia ; Trebia ) is a river predominantly of Liguria and Emilia Romagna in northern Italy . It is one of the four main right-bank tributaries of the river Po , the other three being the Tanaro , the Secchia and the Panaro . The 1,150 km2 drainage basin is divided among Emilia Romagna , 770 km2 , Liguria , 349 km2 , and Lombardy , 31 km2 . Its principal tributaries are the torrents Aveto and Perino ( from the right ) and the torrent Boreca ( from the left ) .

negative: Battle of Trebbia (1799) The Battle of Trebbia or the Napoleonic Battle of the Trebbia ( 17 -- 20 June 1799 ) was fought near the Trebbia River in northern Italy between the joint Russian and Habsburg Austrian army under Alexander Suvorov and the Republican French army of Jacques MacDonald . Though the opposing armies were approximately equal in numbers , the Austro-Russians severely defeated the French , sustaining about 6,000 casualties while inflicting losses of 12,000 to 16,500 on their enemies . The War of the Second Coalition engagement occurred west of Piacenza , a city located 70 km southeast of Milan .   In the spring of 1799 the Austrian and Russian armies ousted the French from much of northern Italy after the battles of Magnano and Cassano and they placed the key fortress of Mantua under siege . Assembling the French occupation forces of southern and central Italy into an army , MacDonald moved north to challenge his enemies . Rather than playing safe by moving along the west coast road , MacDonald boldly chose to move east of the Apennine Mountains , hoping to be supported by Jean Victor Marie Moreau 's French army . After brushing aside a much smaller Austrian force at Modena , MacDonald 's army swept west along the south bank of the Po River . Suvorov swiftly concentrated his Russians and the allied Austrians of Michael von Melas to block the French move .   On 17 July , the leading French divisions bumped into a holding force led by Peter Karl Ott von Bátorkéz along the Tidone River . Ott was rapidly reinforced by the bulk of the Austro-Russian army and the French pulled back to the Trebbia . Suvorov attacked on the 18th but the outnumbered French managed to hold off the Allied drive . On 19 June MacDonald 's entire army was concentrated and he ordered an attack which was poorly coordinated and repulsed at all points . Realizing that assistance from Moreau was not forthcoming , that night MacDonald ordered the beaten French army to slip away to the south and west . On the 20th the Allies overran a French demi brigade acting as rear guard . Instead of bringing a powerful reinforcement to the hard-pressed French in northwest Italy , only the crippled remains of MacDonald 's army arrived .   Due to participation of some 3,000 soldiers of the Polish Legions , the Battle of Trebbia is commemorated on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier , Warsaw , with the inscription `` TREBBIA 17 - 19 VI 1799 '' .

negative: Trebia (ancient Latin town) Trebia was an ancient town of Latium in central Italy .   In around 488 BC , Trebia was captured by an invading army of the Volsci , led by Gaius Marcius Coriolanus and Attius Tullus Aufidius .

negative: Battle of Ticinus The Battle of Ticinus was a battle of the Second Punic War fought between the Carthaginian forces of Hannibal and the Romans under Publius Cornelius Scipio in November 218 BC . The battle took place in the flat country of Pavia county on the right bank of the Ticino River , not far north from its confluence ( from the north ) with the Po River . The battle is named from the river , not the nearby contemporaneous settlement of Ticinum ( today 's Pavia ) . Although the precise location is not known , it is generally accepted that a settlement known today as Vigevano is mentioned in Livy 's text and that Scipio 's camp was to the south at Gambolo , whose coordinates are given on the map . The conflict would have been west of there . It was the first battle of the war against the Romans that was fought on Italian soil and the first battle of the war to employ legion-sized forces . Its loss by the Romans , and the temporary disablement of Scipio 's command , set the stage for the Roman disaster at the Battle of Trebbia in December .   This battle was mainly a cavalry engagement . It was so fast-moving that the javelin-throwers deployed by the Romans had no chance of firing even a single volley and milled around on the field , a major cause of the Roman defeat . Scipio was wounded and barely escaped with his life . He was in fact rescued on the field by his 18-year-old son , the later Scipio Africanus .   The two main sources on the battle are the History of Rome by Livy ( Book XXI ) and Histories of Polybius ( Book III ) . Polybius makes it clear in his account that he visited the places and monuments and looked at documents . The two vary in some of the details .

negative: Battle of Red Bank The Battle of Red Bank ( October 22 , 1777 ) was a battle of the American Revolutionary War in which a Hessian force was sent to take Fort Mercer on the left bank ( or New Jersey side ) of the Delaware River just south of Philadelphia , but was decisively defeated by a far inferior force of Colonial defenders . Although the British did take Fort Mercer a month later , the victory supplied a sorely-needed morale boost to the American cause , delayed British plans to consolidate gains in Philadelphia , and relieved pressure on General Washington 's army to the north of the city .

negative: Battle of Isonzo (489) The Battle of the Isonzo , the Battle of the Aesontius , or the Battle of the Isontius is the name given to the battle fought on August 28 , 489 on the banks of the Isontius River , not far away from Aquileia . This river is now known as the Isonzo in Italian , and Soča in Slovene . This battle should not be confused with the 12 Battles of the Isonzo during World War I.   Theoderic the Great , king of the Ostrogoths , in 489 opened his first campaign against Odoacer to wrest Italy from him . On 28 August , the two armies met on the banks of the Isontius . Theoderic defeated Odoacer , who retreated . A second battle was fought at Verona .

negative: Battle of the Metaurus The Battle of the Metaurus was a pivotal battle in the Second Punic War between Rome and Carthage , fought in 207 BC near the Metauro River in Italy . The battle holds a chapter in the classic The Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World ( 1851 ) by Sir Edward Shepherd Creasy . The Carthaginians were led by Hasdrubal Barca , brother of Hannibal , who was to have brought siege equipment and reinforcements for Hannibal . The Roman armies were led by the consuls Marcus Livius , who was later nicknamed the Salinator , and Gaius Claudius Nero .   Claudius Nero had just fought Hannibal in Grumentum , some hundreds of kilometers south of the Metaurus river , and reached Marcus Livius with a forced march which went unnoticed by both Hannibal and Hasdrubal , so that the Carthaginians suddenly found themselves outnumbered .

negative: Tiber The Tiber ( -LSB- ˈtaɪbər -RSB- , Latin Tiberis , Italian Tevere , -LSB- ˈteːvere -RSB- ) is the third-longest river in Italy , rising in the Apennine Mountains in Emilia-Romagna and flowing 406 km through Umbria and Lazio , where it is joined by the river Aniene , to the Tyrrhenian Sea , between Ostia and Fiumicino . It drains a basin estimated at 17375 km2 . The river has achieved lasting fame as the main watercourse of the city of Rome , founded on its eastern banks .   The river rises at Mount Fumaiolo in central Italy and flows in a generally southerly direction past Perugia and Rome to meet the sea at Ostia . Popularly called flavus ( `` the blond '' ) , in reference to the yellowish colour of its water , the Tiber has heavily advanced at the mouth by about 3 km since Roman times , leaving the ancient port of Ostia Antica 6 km inland . However , it does not form a proportional delta , owing to a strong north-flowing sea current close to the shore , to the steep shelving of the coast , and to slow tectonic subsidence .

negative: Battle of Trebeshina The Battle of Trebeshina or the Battle of Mal Trebeshinë , was a series of engagements fought between the Greek and Italian armies in south-eastern Albania during the Greco-Italian War . The twenty-day battle was fought on the strategic heights that made up the 26 km long Trebeshinë mountain range , notably Height 1923 .   Following the Greek capture of the strategic Këlcyrë / Klisura Pass on 10 January , four Italian divisions and one Blackshirt division of the Italian `` Chameria '' Army Corps under Gen. Carlo Rossi attempted to recover the Trebeshinë mountain range by launching counter-attacks against the Greek II Army Corps ( 1st , 15th and 11th Infantry Divisions ) .   On 27 January 1941 the Greek III/4 Battalion under Major Ioannis Baldoumis captured Height 1923 and set up defensive positions in deep snow , while the I/5 Battalion under the command of Major Antonios Goulas captured Height 1620 . Due to heavy snow and blizzards the Greeks were soon forced to abandon Trebeshina , which was subsequently occupied by two Italian Blackshirt battalions .   II Corps , reinforced with the Cretan 5th Division from III Corps , repulsed the Italian attack by 29 January and then attacked towards the Trebeshina massif . Against stiff resistance , the Cretan Division captured Trebeshina on 2 February , and the 15th Division captured the village of Bubeshi . On 14 February 1941 the 6th Infantry Regiment ( Colonel Ioannis Theodorou ) of the 3rd Division , repelled an Italian attack on the Skutara line near Height 504 . The attack aimed to dislodge the Greek defensive line in the coastal sector , near the Albanian port city of Vlorë . The Greeks suffered 109 killed and wounded in the engagement .   By 17 February , the Greek had captured the mountain ranges but it was a costly victory , particularly for the Cretan Division , which suffered 5,776 killed , wounded or missing and had ceased to exist as a combat-worthy formation . The Greek positions at Trebeshina were subject to the main attack of Operazione Primavera the Italian Spring Offensive in early March but were held until the Greek withdrawal south , following the German invasion of Greece on 6 April .

negative: Battle of Treviso The Battle of Treviso was an engagement in 541 near Treviso , Italy , between Ostrogoths and Byzantines during the Gothic War .   In the prelude to the battle , the new Ostrogothic king Ildibad had exploited the withdrawal by Eastern Roman Emperor Justinian I of general Belisarius from Italy , easily extending his authority in Venetia and Liguria with a small , but growing Gothic force . In 541 , Ildibad was engaged outside Treviso by general Vitalius , the military commander of the city , whose force included a sizable number of Heruli . The battle ended with a decisive victory for Ildibad , with Vitalius barely escaping while the Heruli leader was killed . Ildibad was subsequently able to extend his authority across the entire Po Valley , but his murder by a Gepid at a palace banquet prevented him from profiting further from the victory .

negative: Battle of the Allia The Battle of the Allia was fought between the Senones ( one of the Gallic tribes which had invaded northern Italy ) and the Romans . It was fought at the confluence of the rivers Tiber and Allia , eleven Roman miles ( 16 km ) north of Rome . The Romans were routed and subsequently the Senones sacked Rome . The common date given for the battle is 390 BC . This is based on the account of the battle by the Roman historian Livy and the Varronian Chronology , a Roman dating system . The ancient Greek historian Polybius , who used a Greek dating system , derived the date 387/6 BC . Plutarch wrote that the battle took place just after the summer solstice when the moon was near the full , a little more than three hundred and sixty years from the foundation of Rome . That would be shortly after 393 BC . Tacitus said that the battle took place the 15 before the Kalends of August , which is 18 July .

negative: Trebula Mutusca Trebula ( Greek : Τρήβουλα also spelled Trebula Mutusca or simply Mutusca or Mutuscae ) was an ancient city of the Sabines in what is now central Italy , one of two bearing the name Trebula -- Pliny being the only author who mentions both places : Trebulani qui cognominantur Mutuscaei , et qui Suffenates . Its site is clearly fixed at Monteleone Sabino , a village about 3 km on the right of the Via Salaria , between Osteria Nuova and Poggio San Lorenzo . There are considerable ruins here including those of a theatre , of thermae or baths , and portions of the ancient pavement . Several inscriptions have also been found here , some of which bear the name of its people , Plebs Trebulana , Trebulani Mutuscani , and Trebulani Mut. , so that no doubt can remain of their attribution .   As this seems to have been much the more considerable place of the two Sabine cities named Trebula ( the other being Trebula Suffenas ) , it is probably that meant by Strabo , who mentions Trebula without any distinctive adjunct but in conjunction with Eretum . The Liber Coloniarumn also mentions a `` Tribule '' , municipium which is probably the same place . Martial also alludes to Trebula as situated among cold and damp mountain valleys , but it is not certain which of the two places he here refers to .

negative: Trebula Suffenas Trebula ( Greek : Τρήβουλα ) or Trebula Suffenas or Trebula Suffenes , was an ancient city of the Sabines , one of two bearing the name Trebula ( the other being Trebula Mutusca ) -- Pliny being the only author who mentions both places : Trebulani qui cognominantur Mutuscaei , et qui Suffenates .

negative: Battle of Sheikh Sa'ad The Battle of Sheikh Sa'ad ( Turkish : Sağ Sahil ) occurred between 6 -- 8 January 1916 during the Mesopotamian Campaign of the First World War . The battle took place along the banks of the Tigris River between the Anglo-Indian Tigris Corps and elements of the Ottoman Sixth Army . The engagement was the first in a series of assaults by the Tigris Corps to try to break through the Ottoman lines to relieve the besieged garrison at Kut .

negative: St. Charles Battle Site The St. Charles Battle Site is the area near St. Charles , Arkansas where the Battle of Saint Charles took place on June 17 , 1862 , during the American Civil War . The battle was a land and naval engagement , in which Union gunboats engaged Confederate shore batteries and gunboats in a firefight , while infantry troops were landed on the western bank of the White River and eventually drove the Confederate forces from their shore batteries . The battle site occupies about 9 acre on the west bank the River southeast of Saint Charles . There are no signs left of the Confederate batteries , and the area is an undeveloped swampland , as it was in 1862 .   The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974 . The battle is also commemorated by a monument in Saint Charles .

negative: Trebula Balliensis Trebula or Trebula Balliensis or Trebula Baliensis ( Greek : Τρήβουλα ) , was an ancient city of Campania , Italy , the location of which is occupied by the modern village of Treglia in the comune of Pontelatone .   It was situated in the district north of the Vulturnus ( modern Volturno ) , in the mountain tract which extends from near Caiatia ( modern Caiazzo ) to the Via Latina . Pliny terms the citizens Trebulani cognomine Balinienses , probably to distinguish them from those of the two cities of the same name among the Sabines ; but the Campanian town seems to have been the most considerable of the three , and is termed simply Trebula by Ptolemy , as well as by Livy .   The first mention of the name occurs in 303 BCE , when we are told that the Trebulani received the Roman franchise at the same time with the Arpinates . There seems no doubt that the Campanian city is here meant : and this is quite certain in regard to the next notice in Livy , where he tells us that the three cities of Compulteria , Trebula , and Saticula , which had revolted to Hannibal , were recovered by Fabius in 215 BCE . The Trebulanus ager is mentioned also by Cicero among the fertile districts of Campania , which Servilius Rullus proposed to distribute among the poorer Roman citizens ; and Pliny writes that it was noted for its wines , which had rapidly risen in estimation in his day . The Liber Coloniarum also mentions Trebula among the municipal towns of Campania . It appears to have received a fresh body of settlers under Augustus , but without attaining the rank of a colony .   The site of Trebula , which was erroneously fixed by Cluverius and some local writers to the south of the Vulturnus , appears to be correctly identified by local antiquarians with a place called Treglia or Tregghia , at the foot of the Pizzo San Salvatore , about 10 km north of the Vulturnus and 13 km northeast of Capua . There are said to be considerable ancient remains upon the spot , which together with the resemblance of name would seem clearly to establish the position of the ancient city .


query: Pythagoras wasn't a philosopher.

positive: Pythagoras Pythagoras of Samos ( -LSB- pɪˈθægərəs -RSB- -LSB- paɪˈθægərəs -RSB- -LSB- Πυθαγόρας ὁ Σάμιος , Pythagóras ho Sámios , Pythagoras the Samos , Samian -RSB- , or simply Πυθαγόρας Πυθαγόρης in Ionian Greek ; ) was an Ionian Greek philosopher , mathematician , and putative founder of the Pythagoreanism movement . He is often revered as a great mathematician and scientist and is best known for the Pythagorean theorem which bears his name .   Legend and obfuscation cloud his work , so it is uncertain whether he truly contributed much to mathematics or natural philosophy . Many of the accomplishments credited to Pythagoras may actually have been accomplishments of his colleagues or successors . Some accounts mention that the philosophy associated with Pythagoras was related to mathematics and that numbers were important . It was said that he was the first man to call himself a philosopher , or lover of wisdom , and Pythagorean ideas exercised a marked influence on Plato , and through him , all of Western philosophy .

negative: Pythagoras Award The Pythagoras Award , or The Pythagoras Prize , or The Pitagor Prize ( named after Pythagoras - a Greek philosopher , mathematician and scientist , Bulgarian : Награда Питагор ) , established in 2009 , is an award given annually to Bulgarian nationals by the Ministry of Science and Education of Bulgaria in recognition for outstanding scientific achievements .   The Pythagoras Prizes are the most prestigious Scientific awards in Bulgaria , frequently referred as the Bulgarian Nobel Prizes . There are several categories each with its own award . The Pythagoras statuettes symbolize The Third Eye which provides perception beyond ordinary sight . The statuettes are designed by the famous Bulgarian sculptor Georgi Chapkanov .

negative: Lyco of Iasos Lyco ( or Lycon , Λύκων , but also called Lycus ; 4th century BCE ) of Iasos , in Caria , was a Pythagorean philosopher . He wrote a polemical attack on Aristotle 's lavish lifestyle , and so probably lived in the second half of the 4th century BCE . He wrote a work On the Pythagorean Life , in which he emphasized , among other things , Pythagoras ' `` temperate way of life . ''

negative: Lysis of Taras Lysis of Taras ( -LSB- ˈlaɪsɪs -RSB- Λῦσις fl . c. 5th-century BC ) was a Greek philosopher . His life is obscure . He was said to have been a friend and disciple of Pythagoras . After the persecution of the Pythagoreans at Croton and Metapontum he escaped and went to Thebes , where he became the teacher of Epaminondas , by whom he was held in the highest esteem . There are , however , serious chronological difficulties with his being both a disciple of Pythagoras and the teacher of Epaminondas .   Lysis was credited as the actual author of a work which was attributed to Pythagoras himself . Diogenes Laërtius quotes from an undoubtedly spurious letter from Lysis to Hippasus as an authority for some statements concerning Damo .

negative: Western philosophy Western philosophy is the philosophical thought and work of the Western world . Historically , the term refers to the philosophical thinking of Western culture , beginning with Hellenic ( i.e. Greek ) philosophy of the Pre-Socratics such as Thales ( c. 624 -- c. 546 BC ) and Pythagoras ( c. 570 -- c. 495 BC ) , and eventually covering a large area of the globe . The word philosophy itself originated from the Hellenic : philosophia , literally , `` the love of wisdom '' ( φιλεῖν philein , `` to love '' and σοφία sophia , `` wisdom '' ) .   The scope of philosophy in the ancient understanding , and the writings of ( at least some of ) the ancient philosophers , were all intellectual endeavors . This included the problems of philosophy as they are understood today ; but it also included many other disciplines , such as pure mathematics and natural sciences such as physics , astronomy , and biology ( Aristotle , for example , wrote on all of these topics . )

negative: Moderatus of Gades Moderatus of Gades was a Greek philosopher of the Neopythagorean school , who lived in the 1st century AD , ( contemporary with Apollonius of Tyana ) . He wrote a great work on the doctrines of the Pythagoreans , and tried to show that the successors of Pythagoras had made no additions to the views of their founder , but had merely borrowed and altered the phraseology .   He has been given an exaggerated importance by some commentators , who have regarded him as the forerunner of the Alexandrian School of philosophy . Zeller has shown that the authority on which this view is based is unsound . Moderatus is thus left as an unimportant though interesting representative of a type of thought which had almost disappeared since the 5th century BC .   Stobaeus , in his Eclogae , preserves a fragment of his writings ; further extracts survive in the form of quotations in Porphyry 's Life of Pythagoras and Simplicius 's commentary on Aristotle 's Physics .

negative: Pythagoras tree (fractal) The Pythagoras tree is a plane fractal constructed from squares . Invented by the Dutch mathematics teacher Albert E. Bosman in 1942 , it is named after the ancient Greek mathematician Pythagoras because each triple of touching squares encloses a right triangle , in a configuration traditionally used to depict the Pythagorean theorem .  If the largest square has a size of L × L , the entire Pythagoras tree fits snugly inside a box of size 6L × 4L . The finer details of the tree resemble the Lévy C curve .

negative: Arignote Arignote or Arignota ( -LSB- ˌærɪgˈnoʊtiː , _ ˌærɪgˈnoʊtə -RSB- Ἀριγνώτη , Arignṓtē ) was a Pythagorean philosopher from Croton who flourished around the year . She was known as a student of Pythagoras and Theano and , according to some traditions , their daughter as well .

negative: Abrotelia Abrotelia ( 5th century B.C.E. ) was a female Pythagorean philosopher . She was one of fifteen women included in Life of Pythagoras , written by Iamblichus . Abrotelia 's father was Abroteles of Tarentum and she is thought to have been born in Tarentum .

negative: Antilochus (historian) Antilochus was a historian of ancient Greece who wrote an account of the Greek philosophers from the time of Pythagoras to the death of Epicurus , whose system he himself adopted . He seems to be the same as the `` Antilogus '' mentioned by Dionysius of Halicarnassus . Theodoret quotes an Antilochus as his authority for placing the tomb of Cecrops I on the acropolis of Athens , but as Clement of Alexandria and Arnobius refer for the same fact to a writer of the name of `` Antiochus '' , there may possibly be an error in Theodoret .

negative: Hippobotus Hippobotus ( -LSB- hᵻˈpɒbətəs -RSB- Ἱππόβοτος 200 BC ) was a Greek historian of philosophers and philosophical schools . His writings are frequently quoted by Diogenes Laërtius . He wrote On the Sects and a Register of Philosophers . He treated philosophers as early as the Seven Sages and Pythagoras , and as late as Crates , Menedemus , and Zeno , hence it is inferred that he wrote in the 3rd or 2nd century BC . His work included lists of pupils of Zeno and Timon . Diogenes Laërtius relates that Hippobotus refused to put the Cynic , Eleatic and Dialectical schools into his On Sects .

negative: Wasnes-au-Bac Wasnes-au-Bac is a commune in the Nord department in northern France .

negative: Eudorus of Alexandria Eudorus of Alexandria ( Εὔδωρος 1st century BC ) was an ancient Greek philosopher , and a representative of Middle Platonism . He attempted to reconstruct Plato 's philosophy in terms of Pythagoreanism .   He formulated a teleological principle for Platonism , derived from the Theaetetus : `` as much as we can , become like God . '' In this he believed that he had found an apt definition of the common goal of Pythagoras , Socrates , and Plato . His metaphysics and cosmology combined Platonist , Pythagorean and Stoic ideas .   He is mentioned by Alexander of Aphrodisias as a commentator on Aristotle 's Metaphysics , which he is said to have criticized . Simplicius refers to him as a Peripatetic philosopher , and relates that he had written on the Aristotelian Categories . He was a native of Alexandria , and had , like Aristo of Alexandria , written a work on the Nile .

He also ran for the presidency in the 2013 presidential election as a candidate of Party of Free Citizens but he wasn ′ t able to gather required amount of signatures .

negative: Cleinias of Tarentum Cleinias of Tarentum ( Κλεινίας fl . 4th-century BCE ) was a Pythagorean philosopher , and a contemporary and friend of Plato , as appears from the story ( perhaps otherwise worthless ) which Diogenes Laërtius gives on the authority of Aristoxenus , to the effect that Plato wished to burn all the writings of Democritus which he could collect , but was prevented by Cleinias and Amyclus of Heraclea . In his practice , Cleinias was a true Pythagorean . Thus we hear that he used to assuage his anger by playing on his harp ; and , when Prorus of Cyrene had lost all his fortune through a political revolution , Cleinias , who knew nothing of him except that he was a Pythagorean , took on himself the risk of a voyage to Cyrene , and supplied him with money to the full extent of his loss .   A text written by Cleinias exists among some other Pythagorean philosophers ' at the end of Iamblichus ' `` Life of Pythagoras '' in the referenced edition , where his name is spelled `` Clinias '' .

negative: Alcmaeon of Croton Alcmaeon of Croton ( in Magna Graecia ) ( -LSB- ælkˈmiːən -RSB- Ἀλκμαίων ὁ Κροτωνιάτης , Alkmaiōn , gen. : Ἀλκμαίωνος ; 5th century BCE ) was one of the most eminent natural philosophers and medical theorists of antiquity . His father 's name was Peirithus ( Peirithos ) . He is said by some to have been a pupil of Pythagoras , and he is believed to have been born c. 510 BCE . Although he wrote primarily about medical topics , there is some suggestion that he was a philosopher of science , not a physician . He also practiced astrology and meteorology . Nothing more is known of the events of his life .

negative: Lute of Pythagoras The lute of Pythagoras is a self-similar geometric figure made from a sequence of pentagrams .

negative: Successions of Philosophers Successions of Philosophers or Philosophers ' Successions was the name of several lost works from the Hellenistic era . Their purpose was to depict the philosophers of different schools in terms of a line of succession of which they were a part . From the 3rd to the 1st centuries BC there were Successions written by Antigonus of Carystus , Sotion , Heraclides Lembos ( an epitome of Sotion ) , Sosicrates , Alexander Polyhistor , Jason of Nysa , Antisthenes of Rhodes , and Nicias of Nicaea . The surviving Lives and Opinions of Eminent Philosophers by Diogenes Laërtius ( 3rd century AD ) draws upon this tradition .   In addition to these , there were often histories of single schools . Such works were created by Phanias of Eresus ( On the Socratics ) , Idomeneus of Lampsacus ( On the Socratics ) , Sphaerus ( On the Eretrian philosophers ) , and Straticles ( On Stoics ) . Among the papyri found at the Villa of the Papyri at Herculaneum , there are works devoted to the successions of the Stoics , Academics , and Epicureans . In a later period , Plutarch produced On the First Philosophers and their Successors and On the Cyrenaics , and Galen wrote On Plato 's Sect and On the Hedonistic Sect ( Epicureans ) . There were often biographies of individual philosophers with a brief description of his successors . Of such nature were Aristoxenus 's Life of Pythagoras , Andronicus 's Life of Aristotle , Ptolemy 's Life of Aristotle , and Iamblichus 's Life of Pythagoras .

negative: Phanto of Phlius Phanto ( or Phanton , Φάντων 4th century BC ) of Phlius , was a Pythagorean philosopher , and one of the last of the school until the Neopythagorean revival in the Roman era . He was a disciple of Philolaus and Eurytus , and , probably in his old age , contemporary with Aristoxenus , the Peripatetic philosopher , c. 320 BC .

negative: Pythagorean astronomical system An astronomical system positing that the Earth , Moon , Sun and planets revolve around an unseen `` Central Fire '' was developed in the 5th century BC and has been attributed to the Pythagorean philosopher Philolaus , a version based on Stobaeus account , who betrays a tendency to confound the dogmas of the early Ionian philosophers , and he occasionally mixes up Platonism with Pythagoreanism . Brewer ( 1894 , page 2293 ) mentioned Pythagoras thought that the sun is a movable sphere in the centre of the universe , and that all the planets revolve round it .   The system has been called `` the first coherent system in which celestial bodies move in circles '' , anticipating Copernicus in moving `` the earth from the center of the cosmos -LSB- and -RSB- making it a planet '' . Although its concepts of a Central Fire distinct from the Sun , and a nonexistent `` Counter-Earth '' were erroneous , the system contained the insight that `` the apparent motion of the heavenly bodies '' was ( in large part ) due to `` the real motion of the observer '' . How much of the system was intended to explain observed phenomena and how much was based on myth and religion is disputed .

negative: Anaximander Anaximander ( -LSB- əˌnæksᵻˈmændər -RSB- Ἀναξίμανδρος Anaximandros ; was a pre-Socratic Greek philosopher who lived in Miletus , a city of Ionia ( in modern-day Turkey ) . He belonged to the Milesian school and learned the teachings of his master Thales . He succeeded Thales and became the second master of that school where he counted Anaximenes and , arguably , Pythagoras amongst his pupils .   Little of his life and work is known today . According to available historical documents , he is the first philosopher known to have written down his studies , although only one fragment of his work remains . Fragmentary testimonies found in documents after his death provide a portrait of the man .   He was an early proponent of science and tried to observe and explain different aspects of the universe , with a particular interest in its origins , claiming that nature is ruled by laws , just like human societies , and anything that disturbs the balance of nature does not last long . Like many thinkers of his time , Anaximander 's philosophy included contributions to many disciplines . In astronomy , he attempted to describe the mechanics of celestial bodies in relation to the Earth . In physics , his postulation that the indefinite ( or apeiron ) was the source of all things led Greek philosophy to a new level of conceptual abstraction . His knowledge of geometry allowed him to introduce the gnomon in Greece . He created a map of the world that contributed greatly to the advancement of geography . He was also involved in the politics of Miletus and was sent as a leader to one of its colonies .

negative: Euphorbus Euphorbus , the son of Panthous and Phrontis , was a Trojan hero during the Trojan War . He wounded Patroclus before Patroclus was killed by Hector . In the fight for Patroclus ' body , Euphorbus was killed by Menelaus . He was apparently one of Troy 's finest warriors . Menelaus later took Euphorbus ' shield to the temple of Hera in Argos . There are some accounts that claim that it was Euphorbus , not Aeneas , Cycnus or Hector , that killed Protesilaus .   The philosopher Pythagoras claimed to be a reincarnation of Euphorbus , according to Heraclides of Pontus ( as reported by Diogenes Laertius ) .  In the Metamorphoses of Ovid ( 15 , 160 -- 164 ) , Pythagoras is again said to have claimed to be a reincarnation of Euphorbus .

negative: Brontinus Brontinus ( Βροντῖνος fl . 6th century BCE ) , or Brotinus of Metapontum , was a Pythagorean philosopher , and a friend and disciple of Pythagoras himself . Alcmaeon dedicated his works to Brontinus as well as to Leon and Bathyllus . Accounts vary as to whether he was the father or the husband of Theano .   Some Orphic poems were ascribed to Brontinus . One was a poem On Nature ( Physika ) , another was a poem called The Robe and the Net which was also ascribed to Zopyrus of Heraclea .   His fame was sufficient for a spurious work to be ascribed to him in the Neopythagorean literature . Syrianus ( 5th century CE ) refers to `` Brotinus '' as an author of the view that the monad , or first cause , `` transcends all kinds of reason and essence in power and dignity , '' whereby an attempt was made to insert an element of Platonism into Pythagoreanism , which probably refers to Neoplatonism .

negative: Pythagoras Peak Pythagoras Peak is the highest peak , 1,275 m , in the central Tula Mountains , standing along the north side of Beaver Glacier , 8 nautical miles ( 15 km ) southeast of Mount Storer . The peak has a prominent notch , the eastern aspect being a right-angled triangle with a perpendicular northern face . It was photographed from Mount Riiser-Larsen in February 1958 by ANARE ( Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions ) led by Phillip Law , but was first visited and surveyed in December 1958 by G.A. Knuckey , ANARE surveyor . It was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia ( ANCA ) after Pythagoras , Greek philosopher , whose theorem concerning a right-angled triangle is well known .

negative: Pythagoras number In mathematics , the Pythagoras number or reduced height of a field describes the structure of the set of squares in the field . The Pythagoras number p ( K ) of a field K is the smallest positive integer p such that every sum of squares in K is a sum of p squares .   A Pythagorean field is a field with Pythagoras number 1 : that is , every sum of squares is already a square .

negative: Mathematicism Mathematicism is any opinion , viewpoint , and/or school of thought/philosophy that states that everything can be described/defined/modelled ultimately by mathematics , and/or that the universe and reality ( both material and mental/spiritual ) are fundamentally/fully/only mathematical , i.e. that ` everything is mathematics ' necessitating the ideas of logic/reason and mind/spirit . Mathematicism is a form of rationalist idealist/mentalist/spiritualist monism ) . The idea started in the West with ancient Greece 's Pythagoreanism , and continued in other rationalist idealist schools of thought such as Platonism . The term ` mathematicism ' has additional meanings among Cartesian idealist philosophers and mathematicians , such as describing the ability and process to study reality mathematically .   Mathematicism includes ( but is not limited to ) the following ( chronological order ) :  Pythagoreanism ( Pythagoras said ` All things are numbers , ' ` Number rules all , ' though contemporary mathematicists exclude numerology , etc. , from mathematicism )  Platonism ( paraphrases Pythagoras ' mathematicism )  Neopythagoreanism  Neoplatonism ( brought Aristotelean mathematical logic to Platonism )  Cartesianism ( René Descartes applied mathematical reasoning to philosophy )  Leibnizianism ( Gottfried Leibniz was a mathematician , called beings ` monads , ' which also means ` units ' / ` ones ' )  Physicist Max Tegmark 's mathematical universe hypothesis ( MUH ) described as Pythagoreanism -- Platonism  Tim Maudlin 's project of ` philosophical mathematics , ' a project aiming at constructing ' a rigorous mathematical structure using primitive terms that give a natural fit with physics ' and investigating ` why mathematics should provide such a powerful language for describing the physical world . ' According to Maudlin , ` the most satisfying possible answer to such a question is : Because the physical world literally has a mathematical structure . '

negative: Panthoides Panthoides ( fl . c. 275 BCE ) was a dialectician and philosopher of the Megarian school . He concerned himself with `` the logical part of philosophy '' , and at some point taught the Peripatetic philosopher Lyco of Troas . He wrote a book called On Ambiguities , against which the Stoic philosopher Chrysippus wrote a treatise .   He disagreed with Diodorus Cronus concerning his Master Argument , arguing that something is possible which can never be true , and that the impossible can never be the consequence of the possible , and that therefore not everything that has happened is necessarily true . Diodorus ' view was that everything that has happened must be true , and that therefore nothing is possible which can never be true .


query: The Book of Mormon was unable to win a Tony Award for Best Musical.

positive: The Book of Mormon (musical) The Book of Mormon is a musical comedy about two young Mormon missionaries who travel to Africa to preach the Mormon religion . First staged in 2011 , the play satirizes various Mormon beliefs and practices . The script , lyrics , and music were written by Robert Lopez , Trey Parker , and Matt Stone . Best known for creating the animated comedy South Park , Parker and Stone co-created the music with Lopez , the co-composer/co-lyricist of Avenue Q , and , subsequently , Frozen .   The Book of Mormon follows two Mormon missionaries as they attempt to share their scriptures with the inhabitants of a remote Ugandan village . The earnest young men are challenged by the lack of interest of the locals , who are preoccupied with more pressing troubles such as AIDS , famine , and oppression from the local warlord .   In 2003 , Trey Parker , Robert Lopez , and Matt Stone began developing the musical , meeting sporadically for several years after Parker and Stone saw Avenue Q. Parker and Stone grew up in Colorado , and references to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints had been commonplace in their previous works . For research , the trio took a trip to Salt Lake City to meet with current and former Mormon missionaries . Beginning in 2008 , developmental workshops were staged . The show 's producer , Scott Rudin , opted to open the show directly on Broadway .   The show opened on Broadway in March 2011 , after nearly seven years of development . The LDS Church issued a polite , measured response to the musical , and purchased advertising space in its playbill in later runs . The Book of Mormon garnered overwhelmingly positive critical responses , and set records in ticket sales for the Eugene O'Neill Theatre . The show was awarded nine Tony Awards , one of which was for Best Musical , and a Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album . The original Broadway cast recording became the highest-charting Broadway cast album in over four decades , reaching number three on the Billboard charts . In 2013 , the musical premiered in the West End . Since then , it has staged two US national tours . An Australian production opened in Melbourne and a Swedish production opened in Stockholm in 2017 .

The Book of Mormon was named best musical theater album at the 2012 Grammy Awards .   Parker , Lopez , and Stone wrote the musical progressively over a period of six years , beginning in 2004 . The recording for the album took place over three days , with the orchestra recording for one and the cast recording for another . Stephen Oremus , Parker , Lopez , and Stone were the primary producers of the album . The Book of Mormon original cast recording was recorded at MSR Studios , Studio A in New York City . The record has received positive reviews .   The recording received substantial commercial success after its initial digital release broke iTunes Store records and the subsequent album made a relatively strong debut on the US Billboard 200 chart . After the show 's success at the 2011 Tony Awards and an aggressive marketing campaign , the recording skyrocketed to number 3 on the chart and became the highest charting Broadway cast album in over four decades .   A vinyl version is planned .
