Satire | MAN, n. An animal so lost in rapturous contemplation of what he thinks he is as to overlook what he indubitably ought to be. His chief occupation is extermination of other animals and his own species, which, however, multiplies with such insistent rapidity as to infest the whole habitable earh and Canada. When the world was young and Man was new, And everything was pleasant, Distinctions Nature never drew 'Mongst kings and priest and peasant. We're not that way at present, Save here in this Republic, where We have that old regime, For all are kings, however bare Their backs, howe'er extreme Their hunger. And, indeed, each has a voice To accept the tyrant of his party's choice. A citizen who would not vote, And, therefore, was detested, Was one day with a tarry coat (With feathers backed and breasted) By patriots invested. "It is your duty," cried the crowd, "Your ballot true to cast For the man o' your choice." He humbly bowed, And explained his wicked past: "That's what I very gladly would have done, Dear patriots, but he has never run." Apperton Duke. Source: Devil's Dictionary. |

Bible | Man (1.) Heb. 'Adam, used as the proper name of the first man. The name is derived from a word meaning "to be red," and thus the first man was called Adam because he was formed from the red earth. It is also the generic name of the human race (Gen. 1:26, 27; 5:2; 8:21; Deut. 8:3). Its equivalents are the Latin homo and the Greek anthropos (Matt. 5:13, 16). It denotes also man in opposition to woman (Gen. 3:12; Matt. 19:10). (2.) Heb. 'ish, like the Latin vir and Greek aner, denotes properly a man in opposition to a woman (1 Sam. 17:33; Matt. 14:21); a husband (Gen. 3:16; Hos. 2:16); man with reference to excellent mental qualities. (3.) Heb. 'enosh, man as mortal, transient, perishable (2 Chr. 14:11; Isa. 8:1; Job 15:14; Ps. 8:4; 9:19, 20; 103:15). It is applied to women (Josh. 8:25). (4.) Heb. geber, man with reference to his strength, as distinguished from women (Deut. 22:5) and from children (Ex. 12:37); a husband (Prov. 6:34). (5.) Heb. methim, men as mortal (Isa. 41:14), and as opposed to women and children (Deut. 3:6; Job 11:3; Isa. 3:25). Man was created by the immediate hand of God, and is generically different from all other creatures (Gen. 1:26, 27; 2:7). His complex nature is composed of two elements, two distinct substances, viz., body and soul (Gen. 2:7; Eccl. 12:7; 2 Cor. 5:1-8). The words translated "spirit" and "soul," in 1 Thess. 5:23, Heb. 4:12, are habitually used interchangeably (Matt. 10:28; 16:26; 1 Pet. 1:22). The "spirit" (Gr. pneuma) is the soul as rational; the "soul" (Gr. psuche) is the same, considered as the animating and vital principle of the body. Man was created in the likeness of God as to the perfection of his nature, in knowledge (Col. 3:10), righteousness, and holiness (Eph. 4:24), and as having dominion over all the inferior creatures (Gen. 1:28). He had in his original state God's law written on his heart, and had power to obey it, and yet was capable of disobeying, being left to the freedom of his own will. He was created with holy dispositions, prompting him to holy actions; but he was fallible, and did fall from his integrity (3:1-6). (See FALL.). Source: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary. |

Dream Interpretation | To dream of a man, if handsome, well formed and supple, denotes that you will enjoy life vastly and come into rich possessions. If he is misshapen and sour-visaged, you will meet disappointments and many perplexities will involve you. For a woman to dream of a handsome man, she is likely to have distinction offered her. If he is ugly, she will experience trouble through some one whom she considers a friend. Source: Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted .... |

Humans Scientific classification
Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Subphylum: Vertebrata Class: Mammalia Order: Primates Family: Hominidae Genus: Homo Species: Sapiens Binomial name Homo sapiens Biologists classify humans as a species (Homo sapiens) of primates and the only surviving species of the genus Homo. The species is commonly referred to as "humankind" or "humanity" and its members as "humans", "human beings" or "people". The species name Homo sapiens is an uncountable noun and has no plural form. Man is a male human being and woman is a female human being. All current humans, from across all areas of the Earth, are of this species.
According to mainstream biology, the closest living evolutionary relatives to humans are the two species of chimpanzee Pan troglodytes ("common chimp") and Pan paniscus ("pygmy chimp" or "Bonobo"), and to a lesser degree other hominoids such as orangutans and gorillas. Biologists have compared a sequence of DNA base pairs between humans and chimpanzees, and estimated an overall genetic difference of 5% [1]. It has been estimated that the human lineage diverged from that of chimpanzees about 5 million years ago, and from gorillas about 8 million years ago. However, recent news reports of a hominid skull approximately 7 million years old already showing a divergence from the ape lineage strongly suggests an earlier divergence. Some scientists argue that bonobos, chimpanzees and, possibly, gorillas should be lumped into the genus Homo, but this is currently a minority opinion.
Various religious groups have raised objections and controversy concerning the theory of humanity's evolution from a common ancestor with the other hominoids. See creationism and argument from evolution for opposing points of view.
Physical characteristics

(Public domain image)The body of humans is described in the human anatomy group of articles. Humans have a wide range of variability in physical and other characteristics.
The evolution of Homo sapiens is characterized by a number of important trends:
How these trends are related, in what ways they have been adaptive, and what their role is in the evolution of complex social organization and culture, are matters of ongoing debate among physical anthropologists.
- expansion of the brain cavity and brain itself, which is typically about 1,400 cm3 in volume, well over twice that of a chimpanzee or gorilla. Some physical anthropologists argue that a reorganization of the structure of the brain is more important than cranial expansion itself.
- canine tooth reduction.
- bipedal locomotion
- descent of the larynx (which makes possible the production of the complex sound known as vocal language).
Although body size is highly heritable, it is also significantly influenced by environmental and cultural factors such as diet. The mean height of an American adult female is 162 centimetres and the mean weight is 62 kg. Males are typically heavier - 175 cm and 78 kilogram. Humans vary substantially around these means, and the means themselves have varied depending on locality and historical factors.
Human children, typically weighing 3-4 kilograms and 50-60 centimetres in height, are born after a nine-month gestation period. Helpless at birth, they continue to grow for some years, typically reaching sexual maturity at around 12-15 years of age. Boys continue growing for some time after this, often only reaching their maximum height around the age of 18. The average human lifespan is approaching 80 years in wealthy nations, with the assistance of science and technology.
See also human physical appearance.
Homo sapiens compared to other species
Humans often consider themselves to be the "dominant" species on Earth, and the most advanced in intelligence and ability to manage their environment. This belief is especially strong in Western culture, and is based in part in the Biblical Creation story in which Adam is explicitly given dominion over the Earth and all of its creatures.
Biologists and scientists in general, though, do not consider "dominant" to be a useful term, because the adaptive value of any trait or complex of traits depends on the niche and is highly mutable. From a scientific standpoint, Homo sapiens certainly is among the most generalized species on Earth. Smaller and simpler animals such as bacteria and insects greatly surpass humans in population size and diversity of species, but few single species occupy as many diverse environments as humans. Many other species, for example, are adapted to specific environments, whereas humans rely on tools such as clothing and manufactured shelter, which are themselves often produced and used through complex social interactions.
The use of tools and the ability to alter their environment (building shelter, weaving fabrics for clothing, language, and the development of complex social relationships and structures, etc.) has been cited as a characteristic which distinguishes humans from other animals. This difference, however, is not absolute, as ethologists have recorded such behaviors in many species. Apes and even birds, for example, are known to "fish" for insects using blades of grass or twigs, and even to shape the tools for that purpose. No other animal uses tools to the same degree or with the same flexibility as Homo sapiens. Similarly, other animals often have simple methods of communication, but the degree to which humans create and use complex grammar and abstract concepts in language has not been seen in any other species, despite much effort to find it.
Chomskian linguistics holds that a distinguishing feature of humans is that we are the only extant species with a language instinct - a genetic predisposition that produces a brain mechanism whose function is to acquire a language by observing those around us.
Some anthropologists think that these readily observable characteristics (toolmaking and language) are based on a less easily observable mental process that might be unique among humans: the ability to think symbolically. That is, humans can think abstractly about concepts and ideas. They can question, use logic, understand mathematical concepts, and so on in ways that no other animals are known to do, although several species have demonstrated some ability in this area. Nor have other animals demonstrated any remotely comparable ability to plan their actions. This belief is why the species was named Homo sapiens, sometimes translated as "Man the Thinker". Note, however, that the extinct species of the Homo genus (eg, Homo neanderthalensis, Homo erectus) were also adept tool users and there is some evidence that they may have had linguistic skills. Moreover, there are many other animals alive today which use tools, so the idea that making and using tools is a defining characteristic of humans is often considered outdated.
While humans have all these characteristics, from the biological viewpoint "what distinguishes humans from all other animals?" is an odd question: there's no one thing that makes cats, dolphins, or song sparrows unique. Finding other species that shape tools or can use sign language may shed light on human evolution, but it doesn't erase the differences between humans and related species.

With an area of 572 km² (221 square miles) and a population of around 64,000 it has the "Oldest Continuously Democratic Parliament in the World" - the Tynwald - founded in 979.
It is a common misconception that Man forms part of the United Kingdom; under British law it does not, though the United Kingdom takes care of its external affairs. The Isle of Man does not have membership of the European Union either.
Background
The Isle of Man formed a Viking outpost/kingdom from circa 700 A.D. to 900 A.D., and part of the Norwegian Kingdom of the Hebrides until the 13th century when it was ceded to Scotland. The island came under the British crown in 1765. Current concerns include reviving the once almost extinct Manx language.

This article concerns how a man differs from women, or is conventionally expected to.
For other meanings of man, Man, or MAN, see Man (disambiguation).' A man is an adult, male human. The irregular plural is men.
Sex
In terms of sex, men have various sexual characteristics that differentiate them from women. In men, the sex organs are involved in the reproductive system, whereas the secondary sex characteristics are involved in attracting a mate or in defeating rivals. Men have mainly external sex organs. The study of male reproduction and associated organs is called andrology.
In general, men suffer from the same illnesses as women, however there are some sex-related illnesses that occur only or more frequently in men.
Gender Roles
In terms of gender, men differ from women by a variety of behaviours.
- Men, considered as a group, are often considered to be more aggressive than women. However, in interpersonal relationships, most research has found that men and women are equally aggressive. Men do tend to be more aggressive outside of the home.
- In modern western society, few wear cosmetics or clothing generally associated with female gender roles. (Doing so is known as cross-dressing, and is generally stigmatised).

The race of Men in J. R. R. Tolkien's books The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings is a race of humans.
Origins
The race of Men is the second race of beings created by the Supreme God, Ilúvatar. Because they awoke at the start of the First Age, while the Elves awoke three Ages before them, they are called the Afterborn (Quenya Atani, Sindarin: Edain) by the Elves. Men are unlike Elves gifted by the so called Gift of Men, Death.
In other words, Elves are immortal, Men are not. While the destiny of the Elves is to go west to dwell with the Valar in Valinor, the destiny of Men is to hold dominion over Middle-earth.
Groups and alignments
Although all Men are related to one another, there are many different groups with different policies. The most important group in the First Age were the Edain. Although the word Edain refers to all Men, the Elves use it to distinguish those Men who fought with them in the First Age against Morgoth in Beleriand and those who didn't. Those Men who fought against Morgoth in the First Age were divided into three Houses.The First House of the Edain was led by Bëor and entered Beleriand in 305 T.A. and were granted the fief of Ladros in Dorthonion by Finrod Felagund. The Second House of the Edain, the House of Haleth was led by Haldad and later by his daughter Haleth and settled in the Forest of Brethil. And the most famous Third House was led by Hador and they settled in Dor-lómin.
Other Men didn't cross the Misty Mountains or fought against Morgoth. Some such as the Easterlings fought openly on his side. Later on the Haradrim would fight on Sauron's side against the descendants of the Edain. Here below follow the short descriptions of the most important groups of Men in the First, Second and Third Age.
Edain and Dúnedain
Through their services and assistance rendered to the Elves and the Valar in the War of Wrath at the end of the First Age, the Edain were rewarded a new continent of their own between Middle-earth and the Undying Lands. This was the island of Númenor, an island in the form of a five-pointed star far away from the evil of Middle-earth.They were led to this island by Elros with the help of his father Eärendil who controlled the bright star of the same name. Once there Elros became the first king of Númenor as Tar-Minyatur and the Edain became known as the Dúnedain (Sindarin for Men of the West). The kingdom of Númenor grew steadily in power and the Dúnedain became the noblest and highest of all Men on Arda. Allied to the Elves, Númenor fought against Morgoth's lieutenant Sauron.
Now that the Men of the West had become powerful they no longer enjoyed the Gift of Men, Death. They wanted to become immortal like the Elves and enjoy their power. The Númenoreans turned away from the Valar, began to call the Gift of Men the Doom of Men and cursed the Ban of the Valar which prevented them to enter Valinor. In 2899 S.A. Ar-Adûnakhôr became the first king of Númenor who took his royal name in Adûnaic, the language of Men instead of Quenya, the language of the Elves. This led to civil war in Númenor.
The people of Númenor were divided into two factions: the King's Men, who enjoyed the support of the King and the majority of the people. They favoured Adûnaic as language. The minority faction, the Faithful, were led by the lord of Andunië, the westernmost province of Númenor, and favoured Quenya.Sauron who by the second millennium of the Second Age was nearly defeated by the Elves took advantage of the division. He surrendered to the last Númenorean King, Ar-Pharazôn and advised him to attack Valinor and claim immortality. This he foolishly did, and as a punishment Númenor, the island of the Men of the West fell and only the Faithful escaped and founded the twin kingdoms of Gondor and Arnor.
Black Númenoreans and Haradrim
The Faithful weren't the only Númenoreans left on Middle-earth when Númenor sank. When Númenor grew in (naval) power many Númenoreans founded colonies in Middle-earth. In the second millennium of the Second Age there was an exodus of Men from overcrowded Númenor. The King's Men because they wanted to conquer more lands, and the Faithful because they were persecuted by the Kings. The Faithful settled in Pelargir and the King's Men settled in Umbar. When Númenor was destroyed the King's Men became known as the Black Númenoreans and remained hostile against the Faithful of Gondor. From their ranks Sauron managed to recruit the Ringwraiths in the second millennium of the Second Age. Umbar was conquered by Gondor in 933 Third Age.
Further east another group of Men lived, the Haradrim. They were dark skinned Men and waged war on great Oliphaunts or Mûmakil, the Haradrim are excellent horsemen, although not as good as the Rohirrim. Hostile to Gondor they were conquered by Gondor in 1050 T.A. by Hyarmendacil I. They fought against Gondor in the War of the Ring.
Easterlings
Most Men who fought in the armies of Morgoth and Sauron were Easterlings, who came from the region around the Sea of Rhûn. Some Easterlings offered their services to the Elvish kingdoms in Beleriand, among them were Bor and his sons and Ulfang the Black and his sons. This proved to be disastrous for the Elves in the Nirnaeth Arnoediad when Ulfang and his clan switched sides and defected to Morgoth, while Bor and his sons died bravely fighting on the side of the Eldar.After Morgoth's defeat Sauron extended his influence over the Easterlings and although Sauron was defeated by the Last Alliance of Elves and Men at the end of the Second Age, the Easterlings were the first enemies to attack Gondor again in 492 T.A. They were soundly defeated by King Rómendacil I, but invaded again in 541 T.A. and took revenge by slaying King Rómendacil. Rómendacil's son Turambar took large portions of land from them. In the next centuries Gondor held sway over the Easterlings. When Gondor's power began to decrease in the twelfth century Third Age, the Easterlings took the complete eastern bank of the Anduin except Ithilien crushing Gondor's allies, the Northmen.
The Easterlings were divided in different tribes, such as the Wainriders and the Balchoth. The Wainriders was a confederation of Easterlings which was very active between 1856 T.A. and 1944 T.A. In 1856 T.A. the Wainriders defeated the Gondorian army under King Narmacil II and slew him. The tide was temporarily turned when Narmacil's son Calimehtar defeated them at Dagorlad. But in 1944 T.A. they once again descended upon Gondor in combination with the Haradrim. They met the Gondorian host near Dagorlad, slew King Ondoher and all his heirs and won the battle. After their victory there was nothing that stood between them and Minas Anor, the capital of Gondor. But instead of marching to Minas Anor the Wainriders held a feast to commemorate their victory. While they were feasting their host was suddenly attacked by Gondor's southern army under General Eärnil who had thwarted the attack of the Haradrim. This eventually led to the demise of the Wainriders.
When Gondor lost its royal dynasty in 2050 T.A. the Easterlings started to reorganize themselves and a fierce tribe called the Balchoth became the most important tribe. In 2510 T.A. they invaded Gondor again and cut the main Gondorian army off from Minas Tirith. They pushed the army into the strip of land between the Limlight and the Celebrant. On the moment of their victory the Rohirrim suddenly took the field at Gondor's side. Until the War of the Ring the Easterlings didn't launch any invasion. In the War of the Ring they were amongst the fiercest warriors deployed at the Battle of the Pelennor Fields by Sauron.
Northmen and Rohirrim
Not all the Men who didn't cross the Misty Mountains were tempted by Morgoth or Sauron. The Northmen who dwellt in Greenwood the Great and Dagorlad were friendly to the Dúnedain and were after the Dúnedain the most noble Men on Arda. The were descended from the same group of Men as the Edain. The only difference was that they didn't cross the Misty Mountains into Beleriand and didn't dwell on Númenor. The result of them not participating in the War against Morgoth was their considerably shorter lifespan if compared to the lifespan of the Dúnedain. The were important allies of Gondor and served as buffer against the Easterlings and in the Army of Gondor. Their region was called Rhovanion and the princes of the Northmen warred amongst themselves for supremacy. In the fourteenth century of the Third Age King Rómendacil II of Gondor sent his son Valacar as an ambassador to Vidugavia, the selfstyled "King of Rhovanion". Valacar loved Rhovanion and the daughter of the King, Vidumavi. He married her and she bore him a son whom she called Vinitharya in her mother tongue. In Gondor Vinitharya became known as King Eldacar and caused a civil war, the Kin-strife because of his mixed Dúnadan/Northmen blood. In the following centuries the Northmen were enslaved by the Easterlings.Shortly after the death of Vidugavia a small group of Northmen moved to the vales of the Anduin between the Gladden Fields and the Mirkwood. After the evil Kingdom of Angmar was defeated by Gondor in 1977 T.A. these Northmen moved north and began to call themselves the Éothéod. They were skilled horsebreeders and horsemen. In 2510 T.A. they responded to a plea of help from the trapped Gondorian army at the Field of Celebrant. After they helped Gondor win this important victory they were rewarded the province of Calenardhon and became known as the Rohirrim. More about the Rohirrim can be read in the corresponding article.
Dunlendings and Woses
When Elendil founded the Kingdom of Arnor its borders were quickly extended towards the river Greyflood (Sind:Gwathló). Between Eriador and the Greyflood lies the region of Minhiriath (Sindarin for Land between the Rivers). In this region a group of Men said to descend from the House of Haleth lived, they are known as the Dunlendings. This group apparently didn't move to Númenor like their kin. They lived in the woods and when the Númenoreans started to chop these woods down to build their ships, the Dúnedain of Númenor earned the hostility of the Dunlendings. They moved to the White Mountains or to Eriador. In Eriador they mixed with the Dúnedain and they soon ceased to exist. But in the White Mountains the Dunlendings were driven to the lands between the Greyflood and the Isen by Gondor. This land became known as Dunland. In 2510 T.A. the province of Calenardhon was given to the numerous Rohirrim. The Dunlendings claimed the area between the Isen and the Adorn, an area that was considered Rohirric. During the reign of Helm Hammerhand (2741-2759 T.A.), a Dunlending named Freca claimed the throne of Rohan. Helm killed him with a single blow with his fist, hence the nickname "Hammerhand". War followed and Freca's son Wulf successfully took Edoras in 2758 T.A. but the Rohirrim held out the next winter in the Hornburg until the Dunlendings were defeated by Frealaf, successor of Helm Hammerhand, the next year. The Dunlendings served Saruman in the War of the Ring and participated in the Battle of the Hornburg.Another group of Men were the Woses. They were small and bent compared to other Men. The lived among the House of Haleth in the First Age and were despite their different appearance reckoned amongst Men by the Elves, who called them Drúedain (the exact meaning of this name is unknown, the Sindarin word for Men: Edain is incorporated). After the First Age they were driven to Dunland, and subsequently driven out by the Dunlendings. At the end of the Third Age they lived in the Drúadan forest, small in number but experienced in wood life. They held off Orcs with poisoned arrows and were vital in securing the aid of the Rohirrim in the Battle of the Pelennor Fields. King Elessar granted the Drúadan Forest "forever" to them in the Fourth Age.

Metropolitan area networks or MANs are large computer networks usually spanning a campus or a city. Common technologies used for this purpose are Asynchronous Transfer Mode, Fiber distributed data interface and Switched multimegabit data service and more recently gigabit ethernet.For instance a university or college may have a MAN that joins together many of their local area networks situated around a several hectare site. Then from their MAN they could have several wide area network links to other universities or the Internet.
Several notable networks started as MANs, such as the Internet peering points MAE-West and MAE-East and the Sohonet media network.

Almost all substantial UNIX and Unix-like operating systems have extensive documentation available as an electronic manual, split into multiple sections.To read a page from the manual, one can use the command
$ man [
] at a shell prompt, e.g. "man ftp" (the section number can usually be omitted). Pages are traditionally referred to using the notation "page_name(section)", e.g. ftp(1).
The section number is used to allow a specific manual page to be chosen when there are multiple manual pages with the same name. This can occur when the names of system calls, user commands, or macro packages conflict. Two examples are man(1) and man(7), or exit(1) and exit(3).
Manual sections
The manual is generally split into eight numbered sections, organised as follows:
Section Description 1 General commands 2 Low-level system calls 3 C library functions 4 Special files (usually devices, those found in /dev) 5 File formats and conventions 6 Gamess 7 Miscellanea 8 System administration and associated commands On some systems some of three other sections are available:
Section Description 9 Kernel routines (obsolete) n Tcl/Tk keywords x The X Window System The manual pages are stored as nroff source files. Most versions of man cache the formatted versions of the last several pages viewed.
For an example of a man page see chmod.

Lexicography | Devil's Dictionary | JESTER, n. An officer formerly attached to a king's household, whose business it was to amuse the court by ludicrous actions and utterances, the absurdity being attested by his motley costume. The king himself being attired with dignity, it took the world some centuries to discover that his own conduct and decrees were sufficiently ridiculous for the amusement not only of his court but of all mankind. The jester was commonly called a fool, but the poets and romancers have ever delighted to represent him as a singularly wise and witty person. In the circus of to-day the melancholy ghost of the court fool effects the dejection of humbler audiences with the same jests wherewith in life he gloomed the marble hall, panged the patrician sense of humor and tapped the tank of royal tears. The widow-queen of Portugal Had an audacious jester Who entered the confessional Disguised, and there confessed her. "Father," she said, "thine ear bend down -- My sins are more than scarlet: I love my fool -- blaspheming clown, And common, base-born varlet." "Daughter," the mimic priest replied, "That sin, indeed, is awful: The church's pardon is denied To love that is unlawful. "But since thy stubborn heart will be For him forever pleading, Thou'dst better make him, by decree, A man of birth and breeding." She made the fool a duke, in hope With Heaven's taboo to palter; Then told a priest, who told the Pope, Who damned her from the altar! Barel Dort |
