helena (minor planet designation: 101 helena) is a large, rocky main-belt asteroid.it was discovered by canadian-american astronomer j. c. watson on august 15, 1868, and was named after helen of troy in greek mythology.this object is orbiting the sun with a period of 4.16 years and an eccentricity of 0.14.its orbital plane is inclined by 10.2° to the plane of the ecliptic.radar observations were made of this object on oct 7 and 19, 2001 from the arecibo observatory.analysis of the data gave an estimated ellipsoidal diameter of 71×63×63 ± 16% km.the mean diameter estimated from iras infrared measurements is 66 km, in agreement with the radar findings.it is classified as an s-type asteroid in the tholen system, suggesting a predominantly silicate composition.101 helena is spinning on its axis with a period of 23 hours. | bayard | workingmen | nonecclesiastic <tsp> bayard | cyniatria | ligation | no related information |
arianespace sa is a french company founded in 1980 as the world's first commercial launch service provider.it undertakes the operation and marketing of the ariane programme.the company offers a number of different launch vehicles: the heavy-lift ariane 5 for dual launches to geostationary transfer orbit, the soyuz-2 as a medium-lift alternative, and the solid-fueled vega for lighter payloads.as of may 2021, arianespace had launched more than 850 satellites in 287 launches over 41 years.the first commercial flight managed by the new entity was spacenet f1 launched on 23 may 1984.arianespace uses the guiana space centre in french guiana as its main launch site.through shareholding in starsem, it can also offer commercial soyuz launches from the baikonur spaceport in kazakhstan.it has its headquarters in évry-courcouronnes, essonne, france.prior to the esa's formation, france had been lobbying for the development of a new european expendable launch system to serve as a replacement for the europa rocket.accordingly, one of the first programmes launched by the esa was the ariane heavy launcher.the express purpose of this launcher was to facilitate the delivery of commercial satellites into geosynchronous orbit.france was the largest stakeholder in the ariane development programme.french aerospace manufacturer aérospatiale served as the prime contractor and held responsibility for performing the integration of all sections of the vehicle, while french engine manufacturer société européenne de propulsion (sep) provided the first, second and third stage engines (the third stage engines were produced in partnership with german aerospace manufacturer mbb).other major companies involved included the french firms air liquide and matra, swedish manufacturer volvo, and german aircraft producer dornier flugzeugwerke.development of the third stage was a major focus point for the project - prior to ariane, only the united states had ever flown a launcher that utilised hydrogen-powered upper stages.immediately following the successful first test launch of an ariane 1 on 24 december 1979, the french space agency centre national d'études spatiales (cnes) and the esa created a new company, arianespace, for the purpose of promoting, marketing, and managing ariane operations.according to arianespace, at the time of its establishment, it was the world's first launch services company.following a further three test launches, the first commercial launch took place on 10 september 1982, which ended in failure as a result of a turbopump having failed in the third stage.the six remaining flights of the ariane 1 were successful, with the final flight occurring during february 1986.as a result of these repeated successes, orders for the ariane launcher quickly mounted up; by early 1984, a total of 27 satellites had been booked to use ariane, which was estimated to be half of the world's market at that time.as a result of the commercial success, after the tenth ariane mission was flown, the esa formally transferred responsibility for ariane over to arianespace.by early 1986, the ariane 1, along with its ariane 2 and ariane 3 derivates, were the dominant launcher on the world market.the ariane 2 and ariane 3 were short-lived platforms while the more extensive ariane 4 was being developed; it was a considerably larger and more flexible launcher that the earlier members of its family, having been intended from the onset to compete with the upper end of launchers worldwide.in comparison, while the ariane 1 had a typical weight of 207 tonnes and could launch payloads of up to 1.7 tonnes into orbit; the larger ariane 4 had a typical weight of 470 tonnes and could orbit payloads of up to 4.2 tonnes.despite this, the ariane 4 was actually 15 per cent smaller than the ariane 3.on 15 june 1988, the first successful launch of the ariane 4 was conducted. | arianespace | locationcountry | france <tsp> arianespace | locationcity | courcouronnes <tsp> ela-3 | site | guiana space centre <tsp> ariane 5 | launchsite | ela-3 <tsp> ela-3 | operator | arianespace | no related information |

the aston martin v8 is a grand tourer manufactured by aston martin in the united kingdom from 1969 to 1989.as with all traditional aston martins, it was entirely handbuilt – with each car requiring 1,200 man-hours to finish.aston martin were looking to replace the db6 model and had designed a larger, more modern looking car.the engine was not ready, however, so in 1967 the company released the dbs with the straight-six vantage engine from the db6.two years later, tadek marek's v8 was ready, and aston released the dbs v8.with the demise of the straight-six vantage in 1973, the dbs v8, now restyled and called simply the aston martin v8, became the company's mainstream car for nearly two decades.it was eventually retired in favour of the virage in 1989.though the body and name was shared with the six-cylinder dbs, the v8 sold for much more.the body was a modern reinterpretation of the traditional aston martin look, with a squared-off grille and four headlights (william towns admitted that the rear quarters were 'borrowed' from the early ford mustang).distinguishing features of the v8 model are the larger front air dam, 225/70vr15 tyres and lack of wire wheels, though some six-cylinder dbs cars also used the v8's alloy wheels.the tail lights were taken from the hillman hunter.a road test report of the time noted that the car had gained 250 lb (113 kg) in weight with the fitting of the v8 in place of the previously used six-cylinder unit, despite the manufacturer's assurance that the engine weighed only 30 lb (14 kg) more than the older straight-six.other contributions to the weight gain included heavier ventilated brake discs, air conditioning, fatter tyres, a new and stronger zf gearbox as well as some extra bodywork beneath the front bumper.marek's v8 engine displaced 5,340 cc (5.3 l; 325.9 cu in) and used bosch fuel injection.output was not officially released, but estimates center around 315 hp (235 kw).the dbs v8 could reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in 7.1 seconds and had a top speed of 242 km/h (150 mph).402 dbs v8s were built.a dbs v8 was planned to be used by roger moore's character brett sinclair in the television show, the persuaders!but no v8 car was available at that time so a six-cylinder dbs was modified to look like a v8 model for use in the show.it is based on a dbs v8 and two cars were commissioned by the tobacco company w.o.wills to promote their new premium brand of cigarettes: one show car with chassis number dbsv8/10380/r and one road going car with chassis number dbsv8/10381/rc.a third 'replica' car was commissioned by a private party.visual differences included twin quartz-halogen headlights and a mesh grille, a front design which was to last until the end of production in 1989.am v8 cars, produced from may 1972 through july 1973, used a similar engine to the dbs v8, albeit with bosch fuel injection rather than the earlier carburetors.just 288 series 2 cars were built.although david brown had left the company, he had overseen development of this model.the first 34 cars still carried leftover 'dbs v8' badging.these cars are distinguished by a taller hood scoop to accommodate four twin-choke (two-barrel) weber carbs.the car produced 310 hp (231 kw; 314 ps) and could reach 60 mph (97 km/h) in 6.1 seconds with an automatic transmission or 5.7 with a manual.performance suffered with emissions regulations, falling to 288 hp (215 kw; 292 ps) in 1976.the next year, a more powerful 'stage 1' engine with new camshafts and exhaust brought it up to 305 hp (227 kw; 309 ps).these cars either fitted 225/70vr15 avon turbospeed or 235/70vr15 turbospeed rolls-royce tyre on the auto models or the 255/60r15 pirelli cinturato cn12 off the vantage. | aston martin v8 | assembly | newport pagnell <tsp> aston martin v8 | engine | 53 litres <tsp> aston martin v8 | manufacturer | aston martin <tsp> aston martin v8 | relatedmeanoftransportation | aston martin rham/1 <tsp> aston martin v8 | successor | aston martin virage | the aston martin v8 is a grand tourer manufactured by aston martin in the united kingdom from 1969 to 1989.as with all traditional aston martins, it was entirely handbuilt – with each car requiring 1,200 man-hours to finish.aston martin were looking to replace the db6 model and had designed a larger, more modern looking car.two years later, tadek marek's v8 was ready, and aston released the dbs v8.with the demise of the straight-six vantage in 1973, the dbs v8, now restyled and called simply the aston martin v8, became the company's mainstream car for nearly two decades.the body was a modern reinterpretation of the traditional aston martin look, with a squared-off grille and four headlights (william towns admitted that the rear quarters were 'borrowed' from the early ford mustang). |

the aston martin v8 is a grand tourer manufactured by aston martin in the united kingdom from 1969 to 1989.as with all traditional aston martins, it was entirely handbuilt – with each car requiring 1,200 man-hours to finish.aston martin were looking to replace the db6 model and had designed a larger, more modern looking car.the engine was not ready, however, so in 1967 the company released the dbs with the straight-six vantage engine from the db6.two years later, tadek marek's v8 was ready, and aston released the dbs v8.with the demise of the straight-six vantage in 1973, the dbs v8, now restyled and called simply the aston martin v8, became the company's mainstream car for nearly two decades.it was eventually retired in favour of the virage in 1989.though the body and name was shared with the six-cylinder dbs, the v8 sold for much more.the body was a modern reinterpretation of the traditional aston martin look, with a squared-off grille and four headlights (william towns admitted that the rear quarters were 'borrowed' from the early ford mustang).distinguishing features of the v8 model are the larger front air dam, 225/70vr15 tyres and lack of wire wheels, though some six-cylinder dbs cars also used the v8's alloy wheels.the tail lights were taken from the hillman hunter.a road test report of the time noted that the car had gained 250 lb (113 kg) in weight with the fitting of the v8 in place of the previously used six-cylinder unit, despite the manufacturer's assurance that the engine weighed only 30 lb (14 kg) more than the older straight-six.other contributions to the weight gain included heavier ventilated brake discs, air conditioning, fatter tyres, a new and stronger zf gearbox as well as some extra bodywork beneath the front bumper.marek's v8 engine displaced 5,340 cc (5.3 l; 325.9 cu in) and used bosch fuel injection.output was not officially released, but estimates center around 315 hp (235 kw).the dbs v8 could reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in 7.1 seconds and had a top speed of 242 km/h (150 mph).402 dbs v8s were built.a dbs v8 was planned to be used by roger moore's character brett sinclair in the television show, the persuaders!but no v8 car was available at that time so a six-cylinder dbs was modified to look like a v8 model for use in the show.it is based on a dbs v8 and two cars were commissioned by the tobacco company w.o.wills to promote their new premium brand of cigarettes: one show car with chassis number dbsv8/10380/r and one road going car with chassis number dbsv8/10381/rc.a third 'replica' car was commissioned by a private party.visual differences included twin quartz-halogen headlights and a mesh grille, a front design which was to last until the end of production in 1989.am v8 cars, produced from may 1972 through july 1973, used a similar engine to the dbs v8, albeit with bosch fuel injection rather than the earlier carburetors.just 288 series 2 cars were built.although david brown had left the company, he had overseen development of this model.the first 34 cars still carried leftover 'dbs v8' badging.these cars are distinguished by a taller hood scoop to accommodate four twin-choke (two-barrel) weber carbs.the car produced 310 hp (231 kw; 314 ps) and could reach 60 mph (97 km/h) in 6.1 seconds with an automatic transmission or 5.7 with a manual.performance suffered with emissions regulations, falling to 288 hp (215 kw; 292 ps) in 1976.the next year, a more powerful 'stage 1' engine with new camshafts and exhaust brought it up to 305 hp (227 kw; 309 ps).these cars either fitted 225/70vr15 avon turbospeed or 235/70vr15 turbospeed rolls-royce tyre on the auto models or the 255/60r15 pirelli cinturato cn12 off the vantage. | sorosil | bractless | disambiguation <tsp> sorosil | rewashed | scyphi | no related information |

1036 ganymed, provisional designation 1924 td, is a stony asteroid on a highly eccentric orbit, classified as a near-earth object of the amor group.it was discovered by german astronomer walter baade at the bergedorf observatory in hamburg on 23 october 1924, and named after ganymede from greek mythology.with a diameter of approximately 35 kilometers (22 miles), ganymed is the largest of all near-earth objects but does not cross earth's orbit.the s-type asteroid has a rotation period of 10.3 hours.in october 2024, it is predicted to approach earth at a distance of 56,000,000 km; 35,000,000 mi (0.374097 au).it orbits the sun at a distance of 1.2–4.1 au about once every 4 years and 4 months (i.e., 52 months or 1,587 days; semi-major axis of 2.66 au).its orbit has a high eccentricity of 0.53 and an inclination of 27° with respect to the ecliptic.the body's observation arc begins at the discovering observatory on 24 october 1924 (1924-10-24), the night after its official discovery observation.its next pass of the earth will be at a distance of 0.374097 au (56,000,000 km; 34,800,000 mi) on 13 october 2024 (2024-10-13).on 16 december 2176 (2176-12-16), it will pass at a distance of 0.02868 au (4,290,000 km; 2,670,000 mi) from mars.ganymede was a trojan prince abducted by zeus to serve as a cup-bearer to the greek gods.the name had previously also been given to jupiter's third moon, 'ganymede', which was discovered in 1610 by italian astronomer galileo galilei.a 1931 paper published the absolute magnitude, based on observations to date, as 9.24, slightly brighter than the present value of 9.45.ganymed is a stony s-type asteroid, in the tholen, smass and in the s3os2 taxonomy.this means that it is relatively reflective and composed of iron and magnesium silicates.spectral measurements put ganymed in the s (vi) spectral subtype, indicating a surface rich in orthopyroxenes, and possibly metals (although if metals are present they are covered and not readily apparent in the spectra).carry published a diameter 34.28±1.38 kilometers in 2012.an occultation of a star by ganymed was observed from california on 22 august 1985.additional observations in 2011 gave an occultation cross-section with a semi-major and minor axis of 39.3 and 18.9 kilometers, respectively.analysis of the best-rated lightcurves obtained by american photometrist frederick pilcher at his organ mesa observatory (g50) in new mexico during 2011 gave a rotation period of 10.297 hours with a consolidated brightness amplitude between 0.28 and 0.31 magnitude (u=3-/3/3).three studies using modeled photometric data from the uppsala asteroid photometric catalogue, wise thermal infrared data and other sources, gave a concurring period of 10.313, 10.31284, and 10.31304 hours, respectively.each modeled lightcurve also determined two spin axes of (214.0°, −73.0°), (190.0°, −78.0°), as well as (198.0°, −79.0°) in ecliptic coordinates (λ, β; l1/b1), respectively.in 1998, radar observations of ganymed by the arecibo radio telescope produced images of the asteroid, revealing a roughly spherical object.polarimetric observations conducted by japanese astronomers concluded that there was a weak correlation between the object's light- and polarimetry curve as a function of rotation angle.because polarization is dependent on surface terrain and composition, rather than the observed size of the object like the lightcurve, this suggests that the surface features of the asteroid are roughly uniform over its observed surface.'spectral observations of 19 weathered and 23 fresh neas and their correlations with orbital parameters'.icarus.188 (1): 175–188.bibcode:2007icar..188..175f.doi:10.1016/j.icarus.2006.11.023. | 1036 ganymed | discoverer | walter baade <tsp> walter baade | birthplace | preußisch oldendorf <tsp> walter baade | deathplace | west germany <tsp> walter baade | almamater | university of göttingen <tsp> walter baade | doctoralstudent | allan sandage | it was discovered by german astronomer walter baade at the bergedorf observatory in hamburg on 23 october 1924, and named after ganymede from greek mythology. |

1036 ganymed, provisional designation 1924 td, is a stony asteroid on a highly eccentric orbit, classified as a near-earth object of the amor group.it was discovered by german astronomer walter baade at the bergedorf observatory in hamburg on 23 october 1924, and named after ganymede from greek mythology.with a diameter of approximately 35 kilometers (22 miles), ganymed is the largest of all near-earth objects but does not cross earth's orbit.the s-type asteroid has a rotation period of 10.3 hours.in october 2024, it is predicted to approach earth at a distance of 56,000,000 km; 35,000,000 mi (0.374097 au).it orbits the sun at a distance of 1.2–4.1 au about once every 4 years and 4 months (i.e., 52 months or 1,587 days; semi-major axis of 2.66 au).its orbit has a high eccentricity of 0.53 and an inclination of 27° with respect to the ecliptic.the body's observation arc begins at the discovering observatory on 24 october 1924 (1924-10-24), the night after its official discovery observation.its next pass of the earth will be at a distance of 0.374097 au (56,000,000 km; 34,800,000 mi) on 13 october 2024 (2024-10-13).on 16 december 2176 (2176-12-16), it will pass at a distance of 0.02868 au (4,290,000 km; 2,670,000 mi) from mars.ganymede was a trojan prince abducted by zeus to serve as a cup-bearer to the greek gods.the name had previously also been given to jupiter's third moon, 'ganymede', which was discovered in 1610 by italian astronomer galileo galilei.a 1931 paper published the absolute magnitude, based on observations to date, as 9.24, slightly brighter than the present value of 9.45.ganymed is a stony s-type asteroid, in the tholen, smass and in the s3os2 taxonomy.this means that it is relatively reflective and composed of iron and magnesium silicates.spectral measurements put ganymed in the s (vi) spectral subtype, indicating a surface rich in orthopyroxenes, and possibly metals (although if metals are present they are covered and not readily apparent in the spectra).carry published a diameter 34.28±1.38 kilometers in 2012.an occultation of a star by ganymed was observed from california on 22 august 1985.additional observations in 2011 gave an occultation cross-section with a semi-major and minor axis of 39.3 and 18.9 kilometers, respectively.analysis of the best-rated lightcurves obtained by american photometrist frederick pilcher at his organ mesa observatory (g50) in new mexico during 2011 gave a rotation period of 10.297 hours with a consolidated brightness amplitude between 0.28 and 0.31 magnitude (u=3-/3/3).three studies using modeled photometric data from the uppsala asteroid photometric catalogue, wise thermal infrared data and other sources, gave a concurring period of 10.313, 10.31284, and 10.31304 hours, respectively.each modeled lightcurve also determined two spin axes of (214.0°, −73.0°), (190.0°, −78.0°), as well as (198.0°, −79.0°) in ecliptic coordinates (λ, β; l1/b1), respectively.in 1998, radar observations of ganymed by the arecibo radio telescope produced images of the asteroid, revealing a roughly spherical object.polarimetric observations conducted by japanese astronomers concluded that there was a weak correlation between the object's light- and polarimetry curve as a function of rotation angle.because polarization is dependent on surface terrain and composition, rather than the observed size of the object like the lightcurve, this suggests that the surface features of the asteroid are roughly uniform over its observed surface.'spectral observations of 19 weathered and 23 fresh neas and their correlations with orbital parameters'.icarus.188 (1): 175–188.bibcode:2007icar..188..175f.doi:10.1016/j.icarus.2006.11.023. | 1036 ganymed | discoverer | walter baade <tsp> walter baade | birthplace | preußisch oldendorf <tsp> walter baade | deathplace | west germany <tsp> walter baade | almamater | university of göttingen <tsp> walter baade | doctoralstudent | allan sandage | it was discovered by german astronomer walter baade at the bergedorf observatory in hamburg on 23 october 1924, and named after ganymede from greek mythology. |

aaron turner (born november 5, 1977) is an american musician, singer, graphic artist, and founder of label hydra head records.he is most widely known for his role as guitarist and vocalist for the post-metal bands sumac and isis, while also participating in several other bands and projects such as old man gloom, lotus eaters and split cranium, a collaboration with jussi lehtisalo of finnish band circle who toured with isis in 2009.raised in new mexico, turner moved to the boston area, where he attended art school and formed isis and hydra head.in june 2003, turner moved operations of both the band and label to los angeles, california.turner now resides in vashon, wa which is also the base of operations for hydra head and his various other activities.in partnership with his wife faith coloccia, turner founded another record label, sige, in march 2011.it has gone on to release material from his musical collaboration with coloccia, mamiffer.sige is distributed by the business.at an early age, his family moved to new mexico, where he was raised.his mother was a teacher 'who taught a progressive curriculum' and his father an author, 'mainly [of] non-fiction'.turner describes his upbringing, surrounded by his parents' writer, artist and photographer friends, as 'creatively nurturing'.at age 17, he started a company that sold rare punk rock records via mail-order.he later moved to boston to attend art school at the school of the museum of fine arts, and in 1995 began releasing music.by 1997, the hydra head label was becoming a respectable small record label.turner describes his early industriousness as being motivated in part by boredom: i grew up in new mexico, and there wasn't a whole lot as far as youth culture is concerned.especially when i started to get interested in straight edge and wasn't doing drugs anymore, there was really nothing for me to do.so that was like a big reason for me, i suppose, to become really productive.also, i've never been a really social person.so there's not a lot of time taken up by my social life.and music has always been a very very big part of my life.i guess just a combination of those factors is why everything got started so early.around 1997–99, turner was living with future isis bassist and co-founder jeff caxide; until this point, he had been a member of the bands union suit and hollomen.isis was formed in 1997 out of a dissatisfaction with said bands' musical direction and turner and caxide's respective degrees of creative control.in mid-2009, turner moved from los angeles, where both isis and hydra head records were based at the time, to seattle with his then-girlfriend, faith coloccia; they went on to wed in september of the same year.he has also acquired a custom guitar from the electrical guitar company (as did fellow isis guitarist michael gallagher).in the past, turner has also used a gibson les paul standard, prs ce24, and has played through sunn, mesa boogie, and mackie amplifiers.when playing with isis, turner and his fellow guitarists usually tuned their instruments (low to high) b-f#-b-e-g#-b, to achieve a heavier sound.they also used other tunings, though less frequently, such as f# (octave below)-f#-b-e-g#-b.in 2016, turner described the live rig he used with sumac as consisting of two custom-built guitars from the electrical guitar company.both have lucite bodies and aluminum necks, and custom-wound wide frequency range pickups.the newer of the two—a prototype for a signature model—has a slightly flatter fingerboard radius than the older instrument. | aaron turner | associatedband/associatedmusicalartist | lotus eaters band <tsp> aaron turner | genre | black metal <tsp> aaron turner | associatedband/associatedmusicalartist | mamiffer <tsp> aaron turner | instrument | singing <tsp> black metal | musicfusiongenre | death metal | he is most widely known for his role as guitarist and vocalist for the post-metal bands sumac and isis, while also participating in several other bands and projects such as old man gloom, lotus eaters and split cranium, a collaboration with jussi lehtisalo of finnish band circle who toured with isis in 2009. |

1036 ganymed, provisional designation 1924 td, is a stony asteroid on a highly eccentric orbit, classified as a near-earth object of the amor group.it was discovered by german astronomer walter baade at the bergedorf observatory in hamburg on 23 october 1924, and named after ganymede from greek mythology.with a diameter of approximately 35 kilometers (22 miles), ganymed is the largest of all near-earth objects but does not cross earth's orbit.the s-type asteroid has a rotation period of 10.3 hours.in october 2024, it is predicted to approach earth at a distance of 56,000,000 km; 35,000,000 mi (0.374097 au).it orbits the sun at a distance of 1.2–4.1 au about once every 4 years and 4 months (i.e., 52 months or 1,587 days; semi-major axis of 2.66 au).its orbit has a high eccentricity of 0.53 and an inclination of 27° with respect to the ecliptic.the body's observation arc begins at the discovering observatory on 24 october 1924 (1924-10-24), the night after its official discovery observation.its next pass of the earth will be at a distance of 0.374097 au (56,000,000 km; 34,800,000 mi) on 13 october 2024 (2024-10-13).on 16 december 2176 (2176-12-16), it will pass at a distance of 0.02868 au (4,290,000 km; 2,670,000 mi) from mars.ganymede was a trojan prince abducted by zeus to serve as a cup-bearer to the greek gods.the name had previously also been given to jupiter's third moon, 'ganymede', which was discovered in 1610 by italian astronomer galileo galilei.a 1931 paper published the absolute magnitude, based on observations to date, as 9.24, slightly brighter than the present value of 9.45.ganymed is a stony s-type asteroid, in the tholen, smass and in the s3os2 taxonomy.this means that it is relatively reflective and composed of iron and magnesium silicates.spectral measurements put ganymed in the s (vi) spectral subtype, indicating a surface rich in orthopyroxenes, and possibly metals (although if metals are present they are covered and not readily apparent in the spectra).carry published a diameter 34.28±1.38 kilometers in 2012.an occultation of a star by ganymed was observed from california on 22 august 1985.additional observations in 2011 gave an occultation cross-section with a semi-major and minor axis of 39.3 and 18.9 kilometers, respectively.analysis of the best-rated lightcurves obtained by american photometrist frederick pilcher at his organ mesa observatory (g50) in new mexico during 2011 gave a rotation period of 10.297 hours with a consolidated brightness amplitude between 0.28 and 0.31 magnitude (u=3-/3/3).three studies using modeled photometric data from the uppsala asteroid photometric catalogue, wise thermal infrared data and other sources, gave a concurring period of 10.313, 10.31284, and 10.31304 hours, respectively.each modeled lightcurve also determined two spin axes of (214.0°, −73.0°), (190.0°, −78.0°), as well as (198.0°, −79.0°) in ecliptic coordinates (λ, β; l1/b1), respectively.in 1998, radar observations of ganymed by the arecibo radio telescope produced images of the asteroid, revealing a roughly spherical object.polarimetric observations conducted by japanese astronomers concluded that there was a weak correlation between the object's light- and polarimetry curve as a function of rotation angle.because polarization is dependent on surface terrain and composition, rather than the observed size of the object like the lightcurve, this suggests that the surface features of the asteroid are roughly uniform over its observed surface.'spectral observations of 19 weathered and 23 fresh neas and their correlations with orbital parameters'.icarus.188 (1): 175–188.bibcode:2007icar..188..175f.doi:10.1016/j.icarus.2006.11.023. | tzontle | noduled | enochic <tsp> tzontle | scabs | slowing | no related information |

1036 ganymed, provisional designation 1924 td, is a stony asteroid on a highly eccentric orbit, classified as a near-earth object of the amor group.it was discovered by german astronomer walter baade at the bergedorf observatory in hamburg on 23 october 1924, and named after ganymede from greek mythology.with a diameter of approximately 35 kilometers (22 miles), ganymed is the largest of all near-earth objects but does not cross earth's orbit.the s-type asteroid has a rotation period of 10.3 hours.in october 2024, it is predicted to approach earth at a distance of 56,000,000 km; 35,000,000 mi (0.374097 au).it orbits the sun at a distance of 1.2–4.1 au about once every 4 years and 4 months (i.e., 52 months or 1,587 days; semi-major axis of 2.66 au).its orbit has a high eccentricity of 0.53 and an inclination of 27° with respect to the ecliptic.the body's observation arc begins at the discovering observatory on 24 october 1924 (1924-10-24), the night after its official discovery observation.its next pass of the earth will be at a distance of 0.374097 au (56,000,000 km; 34,800,000 mi) on 13 october 2024 (2024-10-13).on 16 december 2176 (2176-12-16), it will pass at a distance of 0.02868 au (4,290,000 km; 2,670,000 mi) from mars.ganymede was a trojan prince abducted by zeus to serve as a cup-bearer to the greek gods.the name had previously also been given to jupiter's third moon, 'ganymede', which was discovered in 1610 by italian astronomer galileo galilei.a 1931 paper published the absolute magnitude, based on observations to date, as 9.24, slightly brighter than the present value of 9.45.ganymed is a stony s-type asteroid, in the tholen, smass and in the s3os2 taxonomy.this means that it is relatively reflective and composed of iron and magnesium silicates.spectral measurements put ganymed in the s (vi) spectral subtype, indicating a surface rich in orthopyroxenes, and possibly metals (although if metals are present they are covered and not readily apparent in the spectra).carry published a diameter 34.28±1.38 kilometers in 2012.an occultation of a star by ganymed was observed from california on 22 august 1985.additional observations in 2011 gave an occultation cross-section with a semi-major and minor axis of 39.3 and 18.9 kilometers, respectively.analysis of the best-rated lightcurves obtained by american photometrist frederick pilcher at his organ mesa observatory (g50) in new mexico during 2011 gave a rotation period of 10.297 hours with a consolidated brightness amplitude between 0.28 and 0.31 magnitude (u=3-/3/3).three studies using modeled photometric data from the uppsala asteroid photometric catalogue, wise thermal infrared data and other sources, gave a concurring period of 10.313, 10.31284, and 10.31304 hours, respectively.each modeled lightcurve also determined two spin axes of (214.0°, −73.0°), (190.0°, −78.0°), as well as (198.0°, −79.0°) in ecliptic coordinates (λ, β; l1/b1), respectively.in 1998, radar observations of ganymed by the arecibo radio telescope produced images of the asteroid, revealing a roughly spherical object.polarimetric observations conducted by japanese astronomers concluded that there was a weak correlation between the object's light- and polarimetry curve as a function of rotation angle.because polarization is dependent on surface terrain and composition, rather than the observed size of the object like the lightcurve, this suggests that the surface features of the asteroid are roughly uniform over its observed surface.'spectral observations of 19 weathered and 23 fresh neas and their correlations with orbital parameters'.icarus.188 (1): 175–188.bibcode:2007icar..188..175f.doi:10.1016/j.icarus.2006.11.023. | gramophonically | quiverish | pseudochrysalis | no related information |
the aston martin v8 is a grand tourer manufactured by aston martin in the united kingdom from 1969 to 1989.as with all traditional aston martins, it was entirely handbuilt – with each car requiring 1,200 man-hours to finish.aston martin were looking to replace the db6 model and had designed a larger, more modern looking car.the engine was not ready, however, so in 1967 the company released the dbs with the straight-six vantage engine from the db6.two years later, tadek marek's v8 was ready, and aston released the dbs v8.with the demise of the straight-six vantage in 1973, the dbs v8, now restyled and called simply the aston martin v8, became the company's mainstream car for nearly two decades.it was eventually retired in favour of the virage in 1989.though the body and name was shared with the six-cylinder dbs, the v8 sold for much more.the body was a modern reinterpretation of the traditional aston martin look, with a squared-off grille and four headlights (william towns admitted that the rear quarters were 'borrowed' from the early ford mustang).distinguishing features of the v8 model are the larger front air dam, 225/70vr15 tyres and lack of wire wheels, though some six-cylinder dbs cars also used the v8's alloy wheels.the tail lights were taken from the hillman hunter.a road test report of the time noted that the car had gained 250 lb (113 kg) in weight with the fitting of the v8 in place of the previously used six-cylinder unit, despite the manufacturer's assurance that the engine weighed only 30 lb (14 kg) more than the older straight-six.other contributions to the weight gain included heavier ventilated brake discs, air conditioning, fatter tyres, a new and stronger zf gearbox as well as some extra bodywork beneath the front bumper.marek's v8 engine displaced 5,340 cc (5.3 l; 325.9 cu in) and used bosch fuel injection.output was not officially released, but estimates center around 315 hp (235 kw).the dbs v8 could reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in 7.1 seconds and had a top speed of 242 km/h (150 mph).402 dbs v8s were built.a dbs v8 was planned to be used by roger moore's character brett sinclair in the television show, the persuaders!but no v8 car was available at that time so a six-cylinder dbs was modified to look like a v8 model for use in the show.it is based on a dbs v8 and two cars were commissioned by the tobacco company w.o.wills to promote their new premium brand of cigarettes: one show car with chassis number dbsv8/10380/r and one road going car with chassis number dbsv8/10381/rc.a third 'replica' car was commissioned by a private party.visual differences included twin quartz-halogen headlights and a mesh grille, a front design which was to last until the end of production in 1989.am v8 cars, produced from may 1972 through july 1973, used a similar engine to the dbs v8, albeit with bosch fuel injection rather than the earlier carburetors.just 288 series 2 cars were built.although david brown had left the company, he had overseen development of this model.the first 34 cars still carried leftover 'dbs v8' badging.these cars are distinguished by a taller hood scoop to accommodate four twin-choke (two-barrel) weber carbs.the car produced 310 hp (231 kw; 314 ps) and could reach 60 mph (97 km/h) in 6.1 seconds with an automatic transmission or 5.7 with a manual.performance suffered with emissions regulations, falling to 288 hp (215 kw; 292 ps) in 1976.the next year, a more powerful 'stage 1' engine with new camshafts and exhaust brought it up to 305 hp (227 kw; 309 ps).these cars either fitted 225/70vr15 avon turbospeed or 235/70vr15 turbospeed rolls-royce tyre on the auto models or the 255/60r15 pirelli cinturato cn12 off the vantage. | pumplike | prill | purringly | no related information |

aaron turner (born november 5, 1977) is an american musician, singer, graphic artist, and founder of label hydra head records.he is most widely known for his role as guitarist and vocalist for the post-metal bands sumac and isis, while also participating in several other bands and projects such as old man gloom, lotus eaters and split cranium, a collaboration with jussi lehtisalo of finnish band circle who toured with isis in 2009.raised in new mexico, turner moved to the boston area, where he attended art school and formed isis and hydra head.in june 2003, turner moved operations of both the band and label to los angeles, california.turner now resides in vashon, wa which is also the base of operations for hydra head and his various other activities.in partnership with his wife faith coloccia, turner founded another record label, sige, in march 2011.it has gone on to release material from his musical collaboration with coloccia, mamiffer.sige is distributed by the business.at an early age, his family moved to new mexico, where he was raised.his mother was a teacher 'who taught a progressive curriculum' and his father an author, 'mainly [of] non-fiction'.turner describes his upbringing, surrounded by his parents' writer, artist and photographer friends, as 'creatively nurturing'.at age 17, he started a company that sold rare punk rock records via mail-order.he later moved to boston to attend art school at the school of the museum of fine arts, and in 1995 began releasing music.by 1997, the hydra head label was becoming a respectable small record label.turner describes his early industriousness as being motivated in part by boredom: i grew up in new mexico, and there wasn't a whole lot as far as youth culture is concerned.especially when i started to get interested in straight edge and wasn't doing drugs anymore, there was really nothing for me to do.so that was like a big reason for me, i suppose, to become really productive.also, i've never been a really social person.so there's not a lot of time taken up by my social life.and music has always been a very very big part of my life.i guess just a combination of those factors is why everything got started so early.around 1997–99, turner was living with future isis bassist and co-founder jeff caxide; until this point, he had been a member of the bands union suit and hollomen.isis was formed in 1997 out of a dissatisfaction with said bands' musical direction and turner and caxide's respective degrees of creative control.in mid-2009, turner moved from los angeles, where both isis and hydra head records were based at the time, to seattle with his then-girlfriend, faith coloccia; they went on to wed in september of the same year.he has also acquired a custom guitar from the electrical guitar company (as did fellow isis guitarist michael gallagher).in the past, turner has also used a gibson les paul standard, prs ce24, and has played through sunn, mesa boogie, and mackie amplifiers.when playing with isis, turner and his fellow guitarists usually tuned their instruments (low to high) b-f#-b-e-g#-b, to achieve a heavier sound.they also used other tunings, though less frequently, such as f# (octave below)-f#-b-e-g#-b.in 2016, turner described the live rig he used with sumac as consisting of two custom-built guitars from the electrical guitar company.both have lucite bodies and aluminum necks, and custom-wound wide frequency range pickups.the newer of the two—a prototype for a signature model—has a slightly flatter fingerboard radius than the older instrument. | prenunciate | latvians | spongiidae <tsp> prenunciate | contrarotation | unnaturalize | no related information |

aaron turner (born november 5, 1977) is an american musician, singer, graphic artist, and founder of label hydra head records.he is most widely known for his role as guitarist and vocalist for the post-metal bands sumac and isis, while also participating in several other bands and projects such as old man gloom, lotus eaters and split cranium, a collaboration with jussi lehtisalo of finnish band circle who toured with isis in 2009.raised in new mexico, turner moved to the boston area, where he attended art school and formed isis and hydra head.in june 2003, turner moved operations of both the band and label to los angeles, california.turner now resides in vashon, wa which is also the base of operations for hydra head and his various other activities.in partnership with his wife faith coloccia, turner founded another record label, sige, in march 2011.it has gone on to release material from his musical collaboration with coloccia, mamiffer.sige is distributed by the business.at an early age, his family moved to new mexico, where he was raised.his mother was a teacher 'who taught a progressive curriculum' and his father an author, 'mainly [of] non-fiction'.turner describes his upbringing, surrounded by his parents' writer, artist and photographer friends, as 'creatively nurturing'.at age 17, he started a company that sold rare punk rock records via mail-order.he later moved to boston to attend art school at the school of the museum of fine arts, and in 1995 began releasing music.by 1997, the hydra head label was becoming a respectable small record label.turner describes his early industriousness as being motivated in part by boredom: i grew up in new mexico, and there wasn't a whole lot as far as youth culture is concerned.especially when i started to get interested in straight edge and wasn't doing drugs anymore, there was really nothing for me to do.so that was like a big reason for me, i suppose, to become really productive.also, i've never been a really social person.so there's not a lot of time taken up by my social life.and music has always been a very very big part of my life.i guess just a combination of those factors is why everything got started so early.around 1997–99, turner was living with future isis bassist and co-founder jeff caxide; until this point, he had been a member of the bands union suit and hollomen.isis was formed in 1997 out of a dissatisfaction with said bands' musical direction and turner and caxide's respective degrees of creative control.in mid-2009, turner moved from los angeles, where both isis and hydra head records were based at the time, to seattle with his then-girlfriend, faith coloccia; they went on to wed in september of the same year.he has also acquired a custom guitar from the electrical guitar company (as did fellow isis guitarist michael gallagher).in the past, turner has also used a gibson les paul standard, prs ce24, and has played through sunn, mesa boogie, and mackie amplifiers.when playing with isis, turner and his fellow guitarists usually tuned their instruments (low to high) b-f#-b-e-g#-b, to achieve a heavier sound.they also used other tunings, though less frequently, such as f# (octave below)-f#-b-e-g#-b.in 2016, turner described the live rig he used with sumac as consisting of two custom-built guitars from the electrical guitar company.both have lucite bodies and aluminum necks, and custom-wound wide frequency range pickups.the newer of the two—a prototype for a signature model—has a slightly flatter fingerboard radius than the older instrument. | protura | inocyte | albums <tsp> protura | cravening | denticular | no related information |

1036 ganymed, provisional designation 1924 td, is a stony asteroid on a highly eccentric orbit, classified as a near-earth object of the amor group.it was discovered by german astronomer walter baade at the bergedorf observatory in hamburg on 23 october 1924, and named after ganymede from greek mythology.with a diameter of approximately 35 kilometers (22 miles), ganymed is the largest of all near-earth objects but does not cross earth's orbit.the s-type asteroid has a rotation period of 10.3 hours.in october 2024, it is predicted to approach earth at a distance of 56,000,000 km; 35,000,000 mi (0.374097 au).it orbits the sun at a distance of 1.2–4.1 au about once every 4 years and 4 months (i.e., 52 months or 1,587 days; semi-major axis of 2.66 au).its orbit has a high eccentricity of 0.53 and an inclination of 27° with respect to the ecliptic.the body's observation arc begins at the discovering observatory on 24 october 1924 (1924-10-24), the night after its official discovery observation.its next pass of the earth will be at a distance of 0.374097 au (56,000,000 km; 34,800,000 mi) on 13 october 2024 (2024-10-13).on 16 december 2176 (2176-12-16), it will pass at a distance of 0.02868 au (4,290,000 km; 2,670,000 mi) from mars.ganymede was a trojan prince abducted by zeus to serve as a cup-bearer to the greek gods.the name had previously also been given to jupiter's third moon, 'ganymede', which was discovered in 1610 by italian astronomer galileo galilei.a 1931 paper published the absolute magnitude, based on observations to date, as 9.24, slightly brighter than the present value of 9.45.ganymed is a stony s-type asteroid, in the tholen, smass and in the s3os2 taxonomy.this means that it is relatively reflective and composed of iron and magnesium silicates.spectral measurements put ganymed in the s (vi) spectral subtype, indicating a surface rich in orthopyroxenes, and possibly metals (although if metals are present they are covered and not readily apparent in the spectra).carry published a diameter 34.28±1.38 kilometers in 2012.an occultation of a star by ganymed was observed from california on 22 august 1985.additional observations in 2011 gave an occultation cross-section with a semi-major and minor axis of 39.3 and 18.9 kilometers, respectively.analysis of the best-rated lightcurves obtained by american photometrist frederick pilcher at his organ mesa observatory (g50) in new mexico during 2011 gave a rotation period of 10.297 hours with a consolidated brightness amplitude between 0.28 and 0.31 magnitude (u=3-/3/3).three studies using modeled photometric data from the uppsala asteroid photometric catalogue, wise thermal infrared data and other sources, gave a concurring period of 10.313, 10.31284, and 10.31304 hours, respectively.each modeled lightcurve also determined two spin axes of (214.0°, −73.0°), (190.0°, −78.0°), as well as (198.0°, −79.0°) in ecliptic coordinates (λ, β; l1/b1), respectively.in 1998, radar observations of ganymed by the arecibo radio telescope produced images of the asteroid, revealing a roughly spherical object.polarimetric observations conducted by japanese astronomers concluded that there was a weak correlation between the object's light- and polarimetry curve as a function of rotation angle.because polarization is dependent on surface terrain and composition, rather than the observed size of the object like the lightcurve, this suggests that the surface features of the asteroid are roughly uniform over its observed surface.'spectral observations of 19 weathered and 23 fresh neas and their correlations with orbital parameters'.icarus.188 (1): 175–188.bibcode:2007icar..188..175f.doi:10.1016/j.icarus.2006.11.023. | antizoea | impairable | inodiate <tsp> antizoea | strepsipteran | reification | no related information |

1036 ganymed, provisional designation 1924 td, is a stony asteroid on a highly eccentric orbit, classified as a near-earth object of the amor group.it was discovered by german astronomer walter baade at the bergedorf observatory in hamburg on 23 october 1924, and named after ganymede from greek mythology.with a diameter of approximately 35 kilometers (22 miles), ganymed is the largest of all near-earth objects but does not cross earth's orbit.the s-type asteroid has a rotation period of 10.3 hours.in october 2024, it is predicted to approach earth at a distance of 56,000,000 km; 35,000,000 mi (0.374097 au).it orbits the sun at a distance of 1.2–4.1 au about once every 4 years and 4 months (i.e., 52 months or 1,587 days; semi-major axis of 2.66 au).its orbit has a high eccentricity of 0.53 and an inclination of 27° with respect to the ecliptic.the body's observation arc begins at the discovering observatory on 24 october 1924 (1924-10-24), the night after its official discovery observation.its next pass of the earth will be at a distance of 0.374097 au (56,000,000 km; 34,800,000 mi) on 13 october 2024 (2024-10-13).on 16 december 2176 (2176-12-16), it will pass at a distance of 0.02868 au (4,290,000 km; 2,670,000 mi) from mars.ganymede was a trojan prince abducted by zeus to serve as a cup-bearer to the greek gods.the name had previously also been given to jupiter's third moon, 'ganymede', which was discovered in 1610 by italian astronomer galileo galilei.a 1931 paper published the absolute magnitude, based on observations to date, as 9.24, slightly brighter than the present value of 9.45.ganymed is a stony s-type asteroid, in the tholen, smass and in the s3os2 taxonomy.this means that it is relatively reflective and composed of iron and magnesium silicates.spectral measurements put ganymed in the s (vi) spectral subtype, indicating a surface rich in orthopyroxenes, and possibly metals (although if metals are present they are covered and not readily apparent in the spectra).carry published a diameter 34.28±1.38 kilometers in 2012.an occultation of a star by ganymed was observed from california on 22 august 1985.additional observations in 2011 gave an occultation cross-section with a semi-major and minor axis of 39.3 and 18.9 kilometers, respectively.analysis of the best-rated lightcurves obtained by american photometrist frederick pilcher at his organ mesa observatory (g50) in new mexico during 2011 gave a rotation period of 10.297 hours with a consolidated brightness amplitude between 0.28 and 0.31 magnitude (u=3-/3/3).three studies using modeled photometric data from the uppsala asteroid photometric catalogue, wise thermal infrared data and other sources, gave a concurring period of 10.313, 10.31284, and 10.31304 hours, respectively.each modeled lightcurve also determined two spin axes of (214.0°, −73.0°), (190.0°, −78.0°), as well as (198.0°, −79.0°) in ecliptic coordinates (λ, β; l1/b1), respectively.in 1998, radar observations of ganymed by the arecibo radio telescope produced images of the asteroid, revealing a roughly spherical object.polarimetric observations conducted by japanese astronomers concluded that there was a weak correlation between the object's light- and polarimetry curve as a function of rotation angle.because polarization is dependent on surface terrain and composition, rather than the observed size of the object like the lightcurve, this suggests that the surface features of the asteroid are roughly uniform over its observed surface.'spectral observations of 19 weathered and 23 fresh neas and their correlations with orbital parameters'.icarus.188 (1): 175–188.bibcode:2007icar..188..175f.doi:10.1016/j.icarus.2006.11.023. | 1036 ganymed | discoverer | walter baade <tsp> walter baade | doctoralstudent | halton arp <tsp> walter baade | deathplace | west germany <tsp> walter baade | almamater | university of göttingen <tsp> walter baade | doctoralstudent | allan sandage | it was discovered by german astronomer walter baade at the bergedorf observatory in hamburg on 23 october 1924, and named after ganymede from greek mythology. |

the aston martin v8 is a grand tourer manufactured by aston martin in the united kingdom from 1969 to 1989.as with all traditional aston martins, it was entirely handbuilt – with each car requiring 1,200 man-hours to finish.aston martin were looking to replace the db6 model and had designed a larger, more modern looking car.the engine was not ready, however, so in 1967 the company released the dbs with the straight-six vantage engine from the db6.two years later, tadek marek's v8 was ready, and aston released the dbs v8.with the demise of the straight-six vantage in 1973, the dbs v8, now restyled and called simply the aston martin v8, became the company's mainstream car for nearly two decades.it was eventually retired in favour of the virage in 1989.though the body and name was shared with the six-cylinder dbs, the v8 sold for much more.the body was a modern reinterpretation of the traditional aston martin look, with a squared-off grille and four headlights (william towns admitted that the rear quarters were 'borrowed' from the early ford mustang).distinguishing features of the v8 model are the larger front air dam, 225/70vr15 tyres and lack of wire wheels, though some six-cylinder dbs cars also used the v8's alloy wheels.the tail lights were taken from the hillman hunter.a road test report of the time noted that the car had gained 250 lb (113 kg) in weight with the fitting of the v8 in place of the previously used six-cylinder unit, despite the manufacturer's assurance that the engine weighed only 30 lb (14 kg) more than the older straight-six.other contributions to the weight gain included heavier ventilated brake discs, air conditioning, fatter tyres, a new and stronger zf gearbox as well as some extra bodywork beneath the front bumper.marek's v8 engine displaced 5,340 cc (5.3 l; 325.9 cu in) and used bosch fuel injection.output was not officially released, but estimates center around 315 hp (235 kw).the dbs v8 could reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in 7.1 seconds and had a top speed of 242 km/h (150 mph).402 dbs v8s were built.a dbs v8 was planned to be used by roger moore's character brett sinclair in the television show, the persuaders!but no v8 car was available at that time so a six-cylinder dbs was modified to look like a v8 model for use in the show.it is based on a dbs v8 and two cars were commissioned by the tobacco company w.o.wills to promote their new premium brand of cigarettes: one show car with chassis number dbsv8/10380/r and one road going car with chassis number dbsv8/10381/rc.a third 'replica' car was commissioned by a private party.visual differences included twin quartz-halogen headlights and a mesh grille, a front design which was to last until the end of production in 1989.am v8 cars, produced from may 1972 through july 1973, used a similar engine to the dbs v8, albeit with bosch fuel injection rather than the earlier carburetors.just 288 series 2 cars were built.although david brown had left the company, he had overseen development of this model.the first 34 cars still carried leftover 'dbs v8' badging.these cars are distinguished by a taller hood scoop to accommodate four twin-choke (two-barrel) weber carbs.the car produced 310 hp (231 kw; 314 ps) and could reach 60 mph (97 km/h) in 6.1 seconds with an automatic transmission or 5.7 with a manual.performance suffered with emissions regulations, falling to 288 hp (215 kw; 292 ps) in 1976.the next year, a more powerful 'stage 1' engine with new camshafts and exhaust brought it up to 305 hp (227 kw; 309 ps).these cars either fitted 225/70vr15 avon turbospeed or 235/70vr15 turbospeed rolls-royce tyre on the auto models or the 255/60r15 pirelli cinturato cn12 off the vantage. | unwakefulness | relancing | enthroned <tsp> unwakefulness | camelina | archegone | no related information |

aaron turner (born november 5, 1977) is an american musician, singer, graphic artist, and founder of label hydra head records.he is most widely known for his role as guitarist and vocalist for the post-metal bands sumac and isis, while also participating in several other bands and projects such as old man gloom, lotus eaters and split cranium, a collaboration with jussi lehtisalo of finnish band circle who toured with isis in 2009.raised in new mexico, turner moved to the boston area, where he attended art school and formed isis and hydra head.in june 2003, turner moved operations of both the band and label to los angeles, california.turner now resides in vashon, wa which is also the base of operations for hydra head and his various other activities.in partnership with his wife faith coloccia, turner founded another record label, sige, in march 2011.it has gone on to release material from his musical collaboration with coloccia, mamiffer.sige is distributed by the business.at an early age, his family moved to new mexico, where he was raised.his mother was a teacher 'who taught a progressive curriculum' and his father an author, 'mainly [of] non-fiction'.turner describes his upbringing, surrounded by his parents' writer, artist and photographer friends, as 'creatively nurturing'.at age 17, he started a company that sold rare punk rock records via mail-order.he later moved to boston to attend art school at the school of the museum of fine arts, and in 1995 began releasing music.by 1997, the hydra head label was becoming a respectable small record label.turner describes his early industriousness as being motivated in part by boredom: i grew up in new mexico, and there wasn't a whole lot as far as youth culture is concerned.especially when i started to get interested in straight edge and wasn't doing drugs anymore, there was really nothing for me to do.so that was like a big reason for me, i suppose, to become really productive.also, i've never been a really social person.so there's not a lot of time taken up by my social life.and music has always been a very very big part of my life.i guess just a combination of those factors is why everything got started so early.around 1997–99, turner was living with future isis bassist and co-founder jeff caxide; until this point, he had been a member of the bands union suit and hollomen.isis was formed in 1997 out of a dissatisfaction with said bands' musical direction and turner and caxide's respective degrees of creative control.in mid-2009, turner moved from los angeles, where both isis and hydra head records were based at the time, to seattle with his then-girlfriend, faith coloccia; they went on to wed in september of the same year.he has also acquired a custom guitar from the electrical guitar company (as did fellow isis guitarist michael gallagher).in the past, turner has also used a gibson les paul standard, prs ce24, and has played through sunn, mesa boogie, and mackie amplifiers.when playing with isis, turner and his fellow guitarists usually tuned their instruments (low to high) b-f#-b-e-g#-b, to achieve a heavier sound.they also used other tunings, though less frequently, such as f# (octave below)-f#-b-e-g#-b.in 2016, turner described the live rig he used with sumac as consisting of two custom-built guitars from the electrical guitar company.both have lucite bodies and aluminum necks, and custom-wound wide frequency range pickups.the newer of the two—a prototype for a signature model—has a slightly flatter fingerboard radius than the older instrument. | mangonels | unpersonified | nonaerating | no related information |
the aston martin v8 is a grand tourer manufactured by aston martin in the united kingdom from 1969 to 1989.as with all traditional aston martins, it was entirely handbuilt – with each car requiring 1,200 man-hours to finish.aston martin were looking to replace the db6 model and had designed a larger, more modern looking car.the engine was not ready, however, so in 1967 the company released the dbs with the straight-six vantage engine from the db6.two years later, tadek marek's v8 was ready, and aston released the dbs v8.with the demise of the straight-six vantage in 1973, the dbs v8, now restyled and called simply the aston martin v8, became the company's mainstream car for nearly two decades.it was eventually retired in favour of the virage in 1989.though the body and name was shared with the six-cylinder dbs, the v8 sold for much more.the body was a modern reinterpretation of the traditional aston martin look, with a squared-off grille and four headlights (william towns admitted that the rear quarters were 'borrowed' from the early ford mustang).distinguishing features of the v8 model are the larger front air dam, 225/70vr15 tyres and lack of wire wheels, though some six-cylinder dbs cars also used the v8's alloy wheels.the tail lights were taken from the hillman hunter.a road test report of the time noted that the car had gained 250 lb (113 kg) in weight with the fitting of the v8 in place of the previously used six-cylinder unit, despite the manufacturer's assurance that the engine weighed only 30 lb (14 kg) more than the older straight-six.other contributions to the weight gain included heavier ventilated brake discs, air conditioning, fatter tyres, a new and stronger zf gearbox as well as some extra bodywork beneath the front bumper.marek's v8 engine displaced 5,340 cc (5.3 l; 325.9 cu in) and used bosch fuel injection.output was not officially released, but estimates center around 315 hp (235 kw).the dbs v8 could reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in 7.1 seconds and had a top speed of 242 km/h (150 mph).402 dbs v8s were built.a dbs v8 was planned to be used by roger moore's character brett sinclair in the television show, the persuaders!but no v8 car was available at that time so a six-cylinder dbs was modified to look like a v8 model for use in the show.it is based on a dbs v8 and two cars were commissioned by the tobacco company w.o.wills to promote their new premium brand of cigarettes: one show car with chassis number dbsv8/10380/r and one road going car with chassis number dbsv8/10381/rc.a third 'replica' car was commissioned by a private party.visual differences included twin quartz-halogen headlights and a mesh grille, a front design which was to last until the end of production in 1989.am v8 cars, produced from may 1972 through july 1973, used a similar engine to the dbs v8, albeit with bosch fuel injection rather than the earlier carburetors.just 288 series 2 cars were built.although david brown had left the company, he had overseen development of this model.the first 34 cars still carried leftover 'dbs v8' badging.these cars are distinguished by a taller hood scoop to accommodate four twin-choke (two-barrel) weber carbs.the car produced 310 hp (231 kw; 314 ps) and could reach 60 mph (97 km/h) in 6.1 seconds with an automatic transmission or 5.7 with a manual.performance suffered with emissions regulations, falling to 288 hp (215 kw; 292 ps) in 1976.the next year, a more powerful 'stage 1' engine with new camshafts and exhaust brought it up to 305 hp (227 kw; 309 ps).these cars either fitted 225/70vr15 avon turbospeed or 235/70vr15 turbospeed rolls-royce tyre on the auto models or the 255/60r15 pirelli cinturato cn12 off the vantage. | regenerators | pleurotoma | gastrogenous <tsp> regenerators | concertmeister | sticked | no related information |

the aston martin v8 is a grand tourer manufactured by aston martin in the united kingdom from 1969 to 1989.as with all traditional aston martins, it was entirely handbuilt – with each car requiring 1,200 man-hours to finish.aston martin were looking to replace the db6 model and had designed a larger, more modern looking car.the engine was not ready, however, so in 1967 the company released the dbs with the straight-six vantage engine from the db6.two years later, tadek marek's v8 was ready, and aston released the dbs v8.with the demise of the straight-six vantage in 1973, the dbs v8, now restyled and called simply the aston martin v8, became the company's mainstream car for nearly two decades.it was eventually retired in favour of the virage in 1989.though the body and name was shared with the six-cylinder dbs, the v8 sold for much more.the body was a modern reinterpretation of the traditional aston martin look, with a squared-off grille and four headlights (william towns admitted that the rear quarters were 'borrowed' from the early ford mustang).distinguishing features of the v8 model are the larger front air dam, 225/70vr15 tyres and lack of wire wheels, though some six-cylinder dbs cars also used the v8's alloy wheels.the tail lights were taken from the hillman hunter.a road test report of the time noted that the car had gained 250 lb (113 kg) in weight with the fitting of the v8 in place of the previously used six-cylinder unit, despite the manufacturer's assurance that the engine weighed only 30 lb (14 kg) more than the older straight-six.other contributions to the weight gain included heavier ventilated brake discs, air conditioning, fatter tyres, a new and stronger zf gearbox as well as some extra bodywork beneath the front bumper.marek's v8 engine displaced 5,340 cc (5.3 l; 325.9 cu in) and used bosch fuel injection.output was not officially released, but estimates center around 315 hp (235 kw).the dbs v8 could reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in 7.1 seconds and had a top speed of 242 km/h (150 mph).402 dbs v8s were built.a dbs v8 was planned to be used by roger moore's character brett sinclair in the television show, the persuaders!but no v8 car was available at that time so a six-cylinder dbs was modified to look like a v8 model for use in the show.it is based on a dbs v8 and two cars were commissioned by the tobacco company w.o.wills to promote their new premium brand of cigarettes: one show car with chassis number dbsv8/10380/r and one road going car with chassis number dbsv8/10381/rc.a third 'replica' car was commissioned by a private party.visual differences included twin quartz-halogen headlights and a mesh grille, a front design which was to last until the end of production in 1989.am v8 cars, produced from may 1972 through july 1973, used a similar engine to the dbs v8, albeit with bosch fuel injection rather than the earlier carburetors.just 288 series 2 cars were built.although david brown had left the company, he had overseen development of this model.the first 34 cars still carried leftover 'dbs v8' badging.these cars are distinguished by a taller hood scoop to accommodate four twin-choke (two-barrel) weber carbs.the car produced 310 hp (231 kw; 314 ps) and could reach 60 mph (97 km/h) in 6.1 seconds with an automatic transmission or 5.7 with a manual.performance suffered with emissions regulations, falling to 288 hp (215 kw; 292 ps) in 1976.the next year, a more powerful 'stage 1' engine with new camshafts and exhaust brought it up to 305 hp (227 kw; 309 ps).these cars either fitted 225/70vr15 avon turbospeed or 235/70vr15 turbospeed rolls-royce tyre on the auto models or the 255/60r15 pirelli cinturato cn12 off the vantage. | superattachment | aristocraticness | insolid <tsp> superattachment | teleophobia | sculptor | no related information |

the aston martin v8 is a grand tourer manufactured by aston martin in the united kingdom from 1969 to 1989.as with all traditional aston martins, it was entirely handbuilt – with each car requiring 1,200 man-hours to finish.aston martin were looking to replace the db6 model and had designed a larger, more modern looking car.the engine was not ready, however, so in 1967 the company released the dbs with the straight-six vantage engine from the db6.two years later, tadek marek's v8 was ready, and aston released the dbs v8.with the demise of the straight-six vantage in 1973, the dbs v8, now restyled and called simply the aston martin v8, became the company's mainstream car for nearly two decades.it was eventually retired in favour of the virage in 1989.though the body and name was shared with the six-cylinder dbs, the v8 sold for much more.the body was a modern reinterpretation of the traditional aston martin look, with a squared-off grille and four headlights (william towns admitted that the rear quarters were 'borrowed' from the early ford mustang).distinguishing features of the v8 model are the larger front air dam, 225/70vr15 tyres and lack of wire wheels, though some six-cylinder dbs cars also used the v8's alloy wheels.the tail lights were taken from the hillman hunter.a road test report of the time noted that the car had gained 250 lb (113 kg) in weight with the fitting of the v8 in place of the previously used six-cylinder unit, despite the manufacturer's assurance that the engine weighed only 30 lb (14 kg) more than the older straight-six.other contributions to the weight gain included heavier ventilated brake discs, air conditioning, fatter tyres, a new and stronger zf gearbox as well as some extra bodywork beneath the front bumper.marek's v8 engine displaced 5,340 cc (5.3 l; 325.9 cu in) and used bosch fuel injection.output was not officially released, but estimates center around 315 hp (235 kw).the dbs v8 could reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in 7.1 seconds and had a top speed of 242 km/h (150 mph).402 dbs v8s were built.a dbs v8 was planned to be used by roger moore's character brett sinclair in the television show, the persuaders!but no v8 car was available at that time so a six-cylinder dbs was modified to look like a v8 model for use in the show.it is based on a dbs v8 and two cars were commissioned by the tobacco company w.o.wills to promote their new premium brand of cigarettes: one show car with chassis number dbsv8/10380/r and one road going car with chassis number dbsv8/10381/rc.a third 'replica' car was commissioned by a private party.visual differences included twin quartz-halogen headlights and a mesh grille, a front design which was to last until the end of production in 1989.am v8 cars, produced from may 1972 through july 1973, used a similar engine to the dbs v8, albeit with bosch fuel injection rather than the earlier carburetors.just 288 series 2 cars were built.although david brown had left the company, he had overseen development of this model.the first 34 cars still carried leftover 'dbs v8' badging.these cars are distinguished by a taller hood scoop to accommodate four twin-choke (two-barrel) weber carbs.the car produced 310 hp (231 kw; 314 ps) and could reach 60 mph (97 km/h) in 6.1 seconds with an automatic transmission or 5.7 with a manual.performance suffered with emissions regulations, falling to 288 hp (215 kw; 292 ps) in 1976.the next year, a more powerful 'stage 1' engine with new camshafts and exhaust brought it up to 305 hp (227 kw; 309 ps).these cars either fitted 225/70vr15 avon turbospeed or 235/70vr15 turbospeed rolls-royce tyre on the auto models or the 255/60r15 pirelli cinturato cn12 off the vantage. | zygomycetes | hankul | bivocalized <tsp> zygomycetes | effeminising | spiraled | no related information |

aaron turner (born november 5, 1977) is an american musician, singer, graphic artist, and founder of label hydra head records.he is most widely known for his role as guitarist and vocalist for the post-metal bands sumac and isis, while also participating in several other bands and projects such as old man gloom, lotus eaters and split cranium, a collaboration with jussi lehtisalo of finnish band circle who toured with isis in 2009.raised in new mexico, turner moved to the boston area, where he attended art school and formed isis and hydra head.in june 2003, turner moved operations of both the band and label to los angeles, california.turner now resides in vashon, wa which is also the base of operations for hydra head and his various other activities.in partnership with his wife faith coloccia, turner founded another record label, sige, in march 2011.it has gone on to release material from his musical collaboration with coloccia, mamiffer.sige is distributed by the business.at an early age, his family moved to new mexico, where he was raised.his mother was a teacher 'who taught a progressive curriculum' and his father an author, 'mainly [of] non-fiction'.turner describes his upbringing, surrounded by his parents' writer, artist and photographer friends, as 'creatively nurturing'.at age 17, he started a company that sold rare punk rock records via mail-order.he later moved to boston to attend art school at the school of the museum of fine arts, and in 1995 began releasing music.by 1997, the hydra head label was becoming a respectable small record label.turner describes his early industriousness as being motivated in part by boredom: i grew up in new mexico, and there wasn't a whole lot as far as youth culture is concerned.especially when i started to get interested in straight edge and wasn't doing drugs anymore, there was really nothing for me to do.so that was like a big reason for me, i suppose, to become really productive.also, i've never been a really social person.so there's not a lot of time taken up by my social life.and music has always been a very very big part of my life.i guess just a combination of those factors is why everything got started so early.around 1997–99, turner was living with future isis bassist and co-founder jeff caxide; until this point, he had been a member of the bands union suit and hollomen.isis was formed in 1997 out of a dissatisfaction with said bands' musical direction and turner and caxide's respective degrees of creative control.in mid-2009, turner moved from los angeles, where both isis and hydra head records were based at the time, to seattle with his then-girlfriend, faith coloccia; they went on to wed in september of the same year.he has also acquired a custom guitar from the electrical guitar company (as did fellow isis guitarist michael gallagher).in the past, turner has also used a gibson les paul standard, prs ce24, and has played through sunn, mesa boogie, and mackie amplifiers.when playing with isis, turner and his fellow guitarists usually tuned their instruments (low to high) b-f#-b-e-g#-b, to achieve a heavier sound.they also used other tunings, though less frequently, such as f# (octave below)-f#-b-e-g#-b.in 2016, turner described the live rig he used with sumac as consisting of two custom-built guitars from the electrical guitar company.both have lucite bodies and aluminum necks, and custom-wound wide frequency range pickups.the newer of the two—a prototype for a signature model—has a slightly flatter fingerboard radius than the older instrument. | aaron turner | associatedband/associatedmusicalartist | twilight band <tsp> aaron turner | associatedband/associatedmusicalartist | greymachine <tsp> aaron turner | genre | black metal <tsp> aaron turner | origin | united states <tsp> aaron turner | activeyearsstartyear | 1995 | no related information |
