Valeria

Valeria - Russian female name. Male version - Valerij

In the fictional universe of Robert E. Howard's Conan the Barbarian, Valeria is a pirate who has a romantic relationship with Conan. She first appeared in Robert E. Howard's original Conan story Red Nails, which was serialized in Weird Tales in 1936. The tale in which Valeria appears is the last Conan story written by Howard. Valeria went on to play a major role in the 1982 Conan the Barbarian motion picture, where she was played by Sandahl Bergman (although the character portrayed in the movie differed from Howard's character and instead borrowed characteristics from Bêlit, another character by Howard).

In the Lensman universe, Valeria is a Terran colony settled by the Dutch. The planet's gravity is three times that of Earth, and the people of Valeria have, over the centuries, become large, brawny, and strong. The Galactic Patrol often employs Valerians as marines and shock troops.

Severin

Drobeta-Turnu Severin is a city in Mehedinti county, Oltenia, Romania, on the left bank of the Danube, below the Iron Gates.

Population

* 1900: 18,628
* 2003:104,557

History

The town, which was originally called Drobetae by the Romans took its later name of Turnu Severin, or the Northern Tower, from a tower built by the Byzantines which stood on a small hill surrounded by a deep fosse. This was built to commemorate a victory over the Quadi and Marcomanni, by the Roman emperor Severus (222-235). Near Turnu Severin are the remains of the celebrated Trajan's bridge, the largest in the Roman Empire, built in 103 by the architect Apollodorus of Damascus. The river is about 1200 metres (4000 feet) broad at this spot. The bridge was composed of twenty arches supported by stone pillars, several of which are still visible at low water.

Dagonet

In Arthurian Legend, "Sir" Dagonet was King Arthur's fool (court jester). He believed himself to be a brave warrior but actually was a coward. Oddly enough, in the 2004 film adaptation King Arthur, Dagonet was portrayed as truly being a brave self-sacrificing knight.

Osric

See Osric of Deira for the king who briefly ruled Deira in the 630s.
In Shakespeare's play Hamlet, Osric is the name of a foolish courtier.

Osric was a king of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of the Hwicce, perhaps reigning jointly with his presumed brother Oshere.

Osric was probably a son of Eanhere, a previous King of the Hwicce, by Osthryth, daughter of Oswiu of Northumbria. The only marriage recorded for Osthryth is that to Æthelred of Mercia, but an earlier marriage to Eanhere would explain why Osric and his brother Oswald are described as Æthelred's nepotes - usually translated as nephews or grandsons, but here probably meaning step-sons.1

The only fixed date of his reign is 676, when Osric supposedly granted lands to Abbess Bertana to found a convent at Bath, but the charter attesting this grant S 51 is of doubtful veracity. He may possibly be the Osric who witnessed S 1165, a doubtful charter of Frithuwold, King of Surrey, dated 675. In another problematic charter, possibly from 679, Osric and his brother Oswald were described as thegns of Æthelred, King of Mercia [1].

Osric was buried at Gloucester; his remains now lie in a medieval tomb in the cathedral.

He seems to have been survived by his brother Oshere, and succeeded by a possible son Æthelmod.

Dittersdorf

August Carl Ditters von Dittersdorf (November 2, 1739 – October 24, 1799) was an Austrian composer and violinist.

He was born in Vienna as Carl Ditters. He had violin lessons from Giuseppe Trani and compositions lessons from Giuseppe Bonno. He served in a number of courts, including as Kapellmeister to the Prince-Bishop of Breslau from 1770 to 1795. He died in Neuhof, Bohemia.

His works are little performed today, but he was well known in his day, and is considered an important composer of the Classical era. After some early Italian opera buffa, he composed a number of German Singspiele, with Der Apotheker und der Doktor (1786, generally known today as Doktor und Apotheker) in particular being a tremendous success in his lifetime, playing in houses all over Europe. His symphonies (around 110 of them) are also considered fine pieces with their folk-like melodies and witty passages; they include twelve based on Ovid's Metamorphoses (six of which have survived to the present day). He also wrote oratorios, cantatas, concertos (including two for the double bass and one for the viola), chamber music, piano pieces and other works. His memoirs, Lebenbeschreibung, were published in Leipzig in 1801.

Boredom

Boredom, also called ennui (pronounced /ɑ̃nɥi/; a French word from the Old French enui, root of the English word 'annoy') is a reactive state to wearingly dull, repetitive, or tedious stimuli: suffering from a lack of interesting things to see, hear, etc., or do (physically or intellectually), while not in the mood of "doing nothing". Those afflicted by temporary boredom may regard the affliction as a waste of time, but usually characterise boredom worse than just that. Alternatively one may have the feeling that having too much spare time causes boredom. Indeed, time often appears to move more slowly to someone suffering from boredom. This results from the way in which the human mind measures the passage of time, by the frequency of notable events, the absence of which may cause the feeling of boredom. Boredom can also occur as a symptom of clinical depression.

Boredom may also lead to impulsive (and sometimes excessive) actions, that serve no purpose and may damage one's self-interest. For example, studies in behavioral finance have shown that stock traders can enter into "overtrading" (buying or selling even without any objective reason to do so) simply because they feel bored when they have nothing worth doing.

The word boredom first appeared in the English language in the Charles Dickens novel Bleak House, published in 1852, where Dickens wrote of Lady Dedlock's "chronic malady of boredom". Bore, bored, and boring, in the sense used here, all appear somewhat earlier.
