Dir was a small princely state in a subsidiary alliance with British India until August 1947 when the British left the subcontinent. For some months it was unaligned, until February 1948, when its accession to the new Dominion of Pakistan was accepted.
Dir ceased to exist as a state in 1969, when it was incorporated into Pakistan. The territory it once covered, some 5,282 km2 (2,039 sq mi), is today within the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan, forming two districts called Upper Dir and Lower Dir.
Most of the state lay in the valley of the Panjkora river, which originates in the Hindu Kush mountains and joins the Swat River near Chakdara. Apart from small areas in the south-west, Dir is a rugged, mountainous zone with peaks rising to 5,000 metres (16,000 ft) in the north-east and to 3,000 metres (9,800 ft) along the watersheds, with Swat to the east and Afghanistan and Chitral to the west and north.
Dir took its name from its main settlement, also called Dir, location of the ruler's palace. The princely state was established by Akhund Baba, the leader of a Pakhtun clan, and ruled afterwards by his descendants.
The Dir (Somali: Dir, Arabic: در), Dhar, or Theyr bin Abdalla as mentioned in the book Futuh ul-Habasha, is a Somali clan. Its members mostly live in northwestern, central and southern Somalia and Djibouti, in addition to the Somali Region of Ethiopia and the North Eastern Province in Kenya.
The main sub-clans of the Dir are the Issa of Djibouti and Ethiopia, as well as the Gadabuursi, Akisho (Akishe), Biamal (Biyomaal), Surre and Gurgura. Although often recognized as a Dir sub-clan, the Isaaq clan claims paternal descent from one Shaykh Ishaq ibn Ahmad al-Hashimi (Sheikh Isaaq).
I.M. Lewis maintains that "strictly speaking… the Dir… together with the Hawiye are linked as 'Irir [Samaale]' at a higher level of genealogical grouping.". Together with the Hawiye they trace ancestry through Irir Samaale to Arabian origins with Aqiil Abu Talib ibn Abd al-Muttalib.
Dir is reputed to be the uncle of Esa Madoba, the patriarch of the Issa Dir sub-clan, as well as the brother of Hawiya Irrir, who founded the Hawiye clan. In addition, Dir is regarded as the father-in-law of Darod, the progenitor of the Darod clan. Other accounts indicate that Dir is the father of Esa Madoba.
Maché is a commune in the Vendée department in the Pays de la Loire region in western France.
Mach (/mʌk/) is a kernel developed at Carnegie Mellon University to support operating system research, primarily distributed and parallel computing. Mach is often mentioned as one of the earliest examples of a microkernel. However, not all versions of Mach are microkernels. Mach's derivatives are the basis of the modern operating system kernels in GNU Hurd and Apple's products OS X, iOS, tvOS and watchOS.
The project at Carnegie Mellon ran from 1985 to 1994, ending with Mach 3.0, which is a true microkernel. Mach was developed as a replacement for the kernel in the BSD version of Unix, so no new operating system would have to be designed around it. Experimental research on Mach appears to have ended, although Mach and its derivatives exist within a number of commercial operating systems. These include NeXTSTEP and OpenStep, upon which OS X is based—all using the XNU operating system kernel which incorporates an earlier, non-microkernel, Mach as a major component. The Mach virtual memory management system was also adopted in 4.4BSD by the BSD developers at CSRG, and appears in modern BSD-derived Unix systems, such as FreeBSD.
In Greek mythology, the Makhai or Machai, Machae (Greek: Μάχαι, "battles"; singular: Μάχη Machê or Makhê) were the daemons (spirits) of battle and combat, and were sons or daughters of Eris, siblings to other vicious personifications like the Hysminai, the Androktasiai, and the Phonoi.
The daemons Homados (Battle-Noise), Alala (War-Cry), Proioxis (Onrush), Palioxis (Backrush) and Kydoimos (Confusion) were closely associated with the Makhai.
They were accompanied in battlefields by other deities and spirits associated with war and death, such as Ares, Phobos, Deimos, the Keres, Polemos, Enyo, and their mother Eris.
Heute um sieben
Wach ich plötzlich auf
Ganz ohne Träume
Doch ich freu' mich auf
Benni und die andern
Wir wollen zum Wannsee gehn
Raus aus aus der Stadt
Und wieder mal den Himmel sehn
Wir treffen uns am Bahnhof
Mit der S-Bahn gehts raus
Und für die nächsten Stunden
Schalten wir die City aus
Die Kinder kommen mit
Und die Gitarren sind auch dabei
Wir fühlen uns gut
Wir fühlen uns frei
Komm und Mach Dir keine Sorgen
Ich weiß es kann nicht später werden als morgen
Und gestern das ist längst vorbei
Mach deine Türen auf und sei frei
Wir sitzen am Fenster
Und reden über Berlin
Und das es uns so gut gefällt
Als der Zug am Bellevue hält
Die Leute steigen aus und ein
Unsere Freude ist groß
Einfach mal so zusammen sein
Komm und Mach Dir keine Sorgen
Ich weiß es kann nicht später werden als morgen
Und gestern das ist längst vorbei
Komm her, mach deine Türen auf und sei frei
Wir lachen und singen
Das haben wir lang nicht getan
Es gibt viel zu erzählen
Wir bleiben bis zum SonNenaufgang
Unsere Stadt schläft noch
Doch heut' sind wir nicht dabei
Wir fühlen uns gut
