How did George R. R. Martin create and develop his characters for Game of Thrones?
Author ,of the Game of Thrones series, ,George R.R. Martin,, once claimed that “No matter how much I make up, there’s stuff in history that’s just as bad, or worse” which is a bit of a scary thought. The series has been greatly influenced by moments in history, and here are a few of the most notable similarities between the world of Westeros and the real world. 1. The map of Westeros very closely resembles England, with an upside down Ireland beneath it. 2. The Wall and Hadrian’s Wall Likewise, The Wall in Game of Thrones that divides the White Walkers from the humans is situated in more or less the exact same place on the Westeros map that the Hadrian’s Wall is on the UK map. Hadrian’s Wall divided the Romans from Scottish Barbarians. George RR Martin visited the site before penning A Game of Thrones, and recalls: “I tried to imagine what it would be like to be a Roman soldier… to gaze off into the distance, not knowing what might emerge from the forest.” 3. The Starks & Lannisters and the Yorks & Lancasters So much of Game of Thrones has been inspired by the Wars of the Roses, a series of wars in the 15th Century over the Throne of England after the Hundred Years’ War. Battling in these wars were the House of York and the House of Lancaster. The Yorks are northerners much like the Starks, while the Lancasters are obscenely wealthy just like the Lannisters. Obviously, the most glaring similarity is in their names. 4. Daenerys Targaryen and Henry Tudor Henry Tudor was an exiled nobleman who spent most of his life across a “narrow sea” in France. Here, he would strengthen his power and plan his invasion of Britain, though nobody around him believed it would happen. This is all probably very familiar to you, as its pretty much the story of Daenerys. 5. Theon Greyjoy and George Plantagenet Theon grew up in Winterfell as a ward to Lord Eddard Stark and a surrogate brother to Robb. Following the outbreak of the War of the Five Kings, Theon was one of Robb’s most trusted advisors. After Robb sent Theon to meet with his father, Balon Greyjoy, Theon turned on his friend and invaded the North. Theon's historical counterpart, ,George Plantagenet,, was brother to Edward IV of York and, like Theon, began the War of the Roses as a staunch York defender. Much like Theon, George Plantagenet turned on his brother during the War of the Roses and defected to the Lancasters. After Edward won the war, George was drowned in a butt of wine for his treason, which is a much kinder punishment than the many atrocities that Theon has endured. George Plantagenet entered the Wars of the Roses on the side of House York, alongside his brother Edward IV, however eventually changed suit and began batting for the House Lancaster. Down the line he attempted to jump back with the Yorks, and was found guilty of treason. This is all very much similar to the story of Theon Greyjoy, while Robb Stark’s story seems to resonate with Edward IV. 6. Joffrey Baratheon and Edward of Westminster It’s hard to believe that some of these sadistic, sick souls can actually be modeled after real people, especially Joffrey Baratheon. Edward of Westminster was the psychopath who inspired Joffrey. As evil as he is, King Joffrey's vicious personality seems to be rooted in history. Edward of Lancaster was the son of King Henry VI and Margaret of Anjou—and, like Joffrey, he was rumored to be of illegitimate birth. Also like Joffrey, Edward had a touch of madness, and he shared Joffrey’s affinity for lopping off the heads of his enemies. The Ambassador of Milan once wrote, ",This boy, though only 13 years of age, already talks of nothing but of cutting off heads or making war, as if he had everything in his hands or was the god of battle or the peaceful occupant of that throne.," History also gave Edward his comeuppance: he was stabbed to death by Edward IV of York, the real-life equivalent of Robb Stark. 7. Wildfire and Greek Fire If you disregard the magic, and the fact that the fire was green, the fire used by Tyrion Lannister to take out Stannis Baratheon’s navy during the ,Battle of Blackwater, is pretty much exactly the same as the Greek Fire. The Greek fire also has the ability to continue burning on the surface of water, and was used by the people of Constantinople against invading Arab armies during the siege of the Byzantine capital. 8. White Walkers (the Others) and Celtic Fairies The terrifyingly brutal White Walkers are largley based on the ,Aos Sí,, or the ,Sidhe,, a race of fairy-like beings from the Irish Mythological Invasion Cycle. The invasion of the Others seems to follow the same cycle as that of the Celtic fairies, too. 9. R’hllor, The Lord of Light and Ahura Mazda, The God of Zoroastrianism In the show, Stannis follows the advice of the “Red Woman,” Melisandre, who worships a foreign lord of light, R’hllor. The faith of the R’hllor appears to be based on the ancient Persian religion ,Zoroastrianism,. In Zoroastrianism, fire is considered a medium for spiritual awareness and wisdom, with worshipers often praying in the presence of fire or in fire temples. Like the followers of The Lord of Light, Zoroastrianism also stresses a great struggle and the duality between good and evil (in the series it is referred to as “The Lord of Light” and “The Great Other”). As of right now, there is no evidence to suggest that ,demon shadow babies, actually existed. Zoroastrianism is perhaps the oldest monotheistic religion in the world, and George RR Martin admits that the worship of Ahura Mazda had a very strong influence on the development of R’hllor. Worshippers of both deities hold fire as sacred, and pray in its presence. They use fire as a means of gaining wisdom and spiritual insight. 10. Petyr “Littlefinger” Baelish and Oliver Cromwell Much like Littlefinger, Oliver Cromwell was a minor nobleman. There are many similarities between the palace treasurer (Petyr) and the military leader (Oliver). As Littlefinger continues to climb the hierarchal ladder we have to wonder whether he will follow in the footsteps of his real-life inspiration, who eventually found a way to become Lord Protector of the Commonwealth. 11. The Red Wedding and The Black Dinner & the Glencoe Massacre To be honest, it’s a little bit of a relief to know George Martin didn’t materialize the brutality of the Red Wedding entirely on his own. Martin took influence from two different events; the Black Dinner and the Glencoe Massacre. In the Black Dinner, the king of Scotland welcomed his enemy the Earl of Douglas into his home for a meal with guaranteed safety. The guaranteed safety, of course, was a complete lie. After dining, a drummer began pounding on a single drum as the Earl was served the head of a black boar on a plate – the symbol of death. He was put to death in the courtyard. Clan Campbell invited their detractors in Clan MacDonald to stay overnight with them. That night, every MacDonald man was unsurprisingly and ruthlessly slaughtered in their beds by the Campbells, in what became known as the Glencoe Massacre. Also certain references say it is based on two British massacres, but it also draws parallels to an ancient Japanese event: the Kojiki, a half-historical, half-mythological text that chronicles the rise of Japan's first ruler, Emperor Jimmu. The ,second part of the Kojiki, describes how Jimmu consolidated his power: by murdering all of his political rivals at a feast. Like the Red Wedding, the start of the massacre was a song, this one sung by Jimmu himself.
What are the Historical Events that inspired “Game of Thrones”?

Here, he would strengthen his power and plan his invasion of Britain, though nobody around him believed it would happen. This is all probably very familiar to you, as its pretty much the story of Daenerys. Tudor fought for the Lancasters, and eventually ended up on the British throne at the conclusion of the War of the Roses… we’re not yet sure if that’s a spoiler or not… 5. Theon Greyjoy and George Plantagenet George Plantagenet entered the Wars of the Roses on the side of House York, alongside his brother Edward IV, however eventually changed suit and began batting for the House Lancaster. Down the line he attempted to jump back with the Yorks, and was found guilty of treason. This is all very much similar to the story of Theon Greyjoy, while Robb Stark’s story seems to resonate with Edward IV. 6. Joffrey Baratheon and Edward of Westminster It’s hard to believe that some of these sadistic, sick souls can actually be modeled after real people, especially Joffrey Baratheon. Edward of Westminster was the psychopath who inspired Joffrey. A Milanese Ambassador once said of Edward, the son of King Henry VI, ,“This boy, though only thirteen years of age, already talks of nothing but of cutting off heads or making war…” ,Sound familiar? Edward was captured at the Battle of Tewkesbury when he was 17, slapped in the face with Edward IV’s metal gauntlet, and eventually cut down by the swords of his enemies. 7. Wildfire and Greek Fire If you disregard the magic, and the fact that the fire was green, the fire used by Tyrian to take out Stannis Baratheon’s navy during the Battle of Blackwater is pretty much exactly the same as the Greek Fire. The Greek fire also has the ability to continue burning on the surface of water, and was used by the people of Constantinople against invading Arab armies during the siege of the Byzantine capital. 8.

Worshippers of both deities hold fire as sacred, and pray in its presence. They use fire as a means of gaining wisdom and spiritual insight. Advertisement 10. Direwolves and Dire Wolves Dire wolves are an extinct cousin of wolves that are quite obviously the inspiration for Ghost, Greywind and Nymeria and the other direwolves of Westeros. 11. Petyr “Littlefinger” Baelish and Oliver Cromwell Much like Littlefinger, Oliver Cromwell was a minor nobleman. There are many similarities between the palace treasurer (Petyr) and the military leader (Oliver). As Littlefinger continues to climb the hierarchal ladder we have to wonder whether he will follow in the footsteps of his real-life inspiration, who eventually found a way to become Lord Protector of the Commonwealth. 12.

What is the best/Holiest God?
There is only one God as referred in all major religious scriptures such as Hindu, Christian and Muslim etc. A common feature of all major religions is the belief in a Universal God or Supreme Divine Authority that is Omnipotent and Omniscient. Followers of all major religions believe that the God they worship is the same God for them as well as for others. Marxism, Freudianism and other non-religious beliefs tried to attack the roots of organized religion. But these in turn, developed into belief systems themselves. For instance, when communism was many countries of the world it was preached with the same commitment and fervour that characterizes preaching and propogation of (Characterises the act of preaching) religions. Thus religion is an integral part of human existence. The Glorious Qur'an says in the following verse: "Say: 'O People of the Book! Come to common terms as between us and you: That we worship none but Allah; That we associate no partners with him; that we erect not, from among ourselves, Lords and patrons other than Allah'. If then they turn back, Say ye: "Bear witness that we (at least) are Muslims (bowing to Allah's Will)". (Al -Qur'an 3:64) The study of various religions has been an extremely rewarding experience for me. It has reaffirmed the belief that God created every human soul with some knowledge of His existence. The psycological constitution of man is such that he accepts the existence of the Creator, unles he has been conditioned to believe the contary. In other words, belief in God requires no condition, while a rejection of God does. 1.Hindu Concept of God according to the literature The most popular among all the Hindu scriptures is the Bhagwad Geeta. Consider the following verse from the Geeta :Those whose intelligence has been stolen by material desires surrender unto demigods and follow the particular rules and regulations of worship according to their own natures. [Bhagwad Geeta chapter 7 verse 20 (B.G. 7:20)] The Geeta is referring to people who are materialistic and therefore worship demigods i.e. besides the True God. Upanishads: The upanishads are also considered sacred scriptures by the Hindus. Consider the following verses from the Upanishads : i) Ekam evaditiyam "He is One only without a second" [Chandogya Upanishad 6:2:1] ii) Consider again, the following verses from the Upanishads : Na casya kasuj janita na cadhipah. "Of Him there are neither parents nor Lord" [Svetasavatara Upanishad 6,9] [ part II page 263.] iii) Consider the following verses from the Upanishads : Na tasya pratima asti (There is no likeness of Him.) [Svetasvatara Upanishad chapter 4:19] Nainam urdhvam na tiryancam na madhye na parijagrabhat na tasy pratime asti yasya nama mahad yasah. "There is no likeness of Him whose name is great glory". [The principal Upanishad by S. Radhakrishnan pg 736 & 737] [Sacred Books of the East, volume 15, the Upanishad part II page no 253] Compare the above verses with the following verses of the Holy Quran “And there is none like unto Him”. [Holy Quran , 112:4] There is nothing whatever like unto Him. [Holy Quran ,42:11] "Na samdrse tisthati rupam asya, na caksusa pasyati kas canaiam. Hrda hrdistham manasa ya enam, evam vidur amrtas te bhavanti". "His form is not to be seen; no one sees Him with the eye. Those who through heart and mind know Him as abiding in the heart become immortal". ,[Svetasvatara Upanishad 4:20] The Holy Quran refers to this aspect in the following verse: No vision can grasp Him But His grasp is over All vision: He is Above all comprehension,Yet is acquainted with all things. ,[Holy Quran 6:103] Brahma Sutra of Hindu Vedanta: The Brahma Sutra of Hindu Vedanta is: Ekam Brahm, dvitiya naste neh na naste kinchan "There is only one God, not the second; not at all, not at all, not in the least bit". CONCEPT OF GOD IN SIKHISM It is mentioned in Sri Guru Granth Sahib volume 1 Japuji, the first verse ,“There exists but one God, who is called the true the creator, free from fear and hate, immortal not begotten, self -existant, Great and compassionate.” Guru Nanak was influenced by the sayings of Sant Kabir so much that several chapters of Shri Guru Nanak Sahib contain couplets of Sant Kabir. One of the famous couplets of Sant Kabir is Dukh mein Sumirana sabh karein Sukh mein karein na koya Jo sukh mein sumirana karein To dukh kaye hoye “(Everyone remembers God during trouble but no one remembers Him during peace and happiness. The one who remembers God during peace and happiness why should he have trouble ?).” Compare this with the following verse of the Holy Quran: When some trouble toucheth man, He crieth unto his Lord, Turning to Him in repentance: But when He bestoweth A favour upon him As from Himself, (man) Doth forget what he cried And prayed for before, And he doth set upRivals unto Allah. [Holy Quran 39:8) CONCEPT OF GOD IN ZOROASTRIANISM God in Zoroastrian religion is known as Ahura Mazda Ahura means the Lord and Mazda means the Wise hence Ahura Mazda means the Wise Lord or the Wise God. Ahura Mazda stands for a strict form of Monotheistic God. Qualities of God according to Dasatir : According to Dasatir, Ahura Mazda has the following qualities : (i) He is One. (ii) Nothing resembles Him. (iii) He is without an origin or end. (iv) He has no father or mother, wife or son. (v) Without a body or form. (vi) Neither the eye can behold Him, nor the power of thinking can conceive him. (vii) He is above all that you can imagine of. (viii)He is nearer to you than your own self. Qualities of God according to Avesta According to Avesta, the Gathas and the Yasna give the various characteristics to Ahura Mazda such as (i) Creator, (Yasna 31:7 & 11) (Yasna 44:7) (Yasna 50:11) (Yasna 51:7), (ii) Most Mighty the Greatest, (Yasna33:11) (Yasna 45:6), (iii)Beneficent Hudai., (Yasna 33:11) (Yasna 48:3), (iv)Bountiful Spenta; (Yasna 43:4,5,7,9,11,13,15) (Yasna 44:2) (Yasna 45:5) (Yasn 46:9), (Yasna 48:3). CONCEPT OF GOD IN JUDAISM: Judaism is one of the major Semitic religions. Its followers are known as Jews and they believe in the prophetic mission of Prophet Moses (pbuh). (i) The following verse from Deuteronomy contains an exhortation from Moses (pbuh) Shama Israelu Adonai Ila Hayno Adna Ikhad It is a Hebrew quotation which means Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord [The Bible, Deut 6:4] (ii) Consider the following verses from the Book of Isaiah : I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no saviour. [The Bible, Isaiah 43:11] (iii)I am lord, and there is none else There is no God besides me. [The Bible, Isaiah 45 : 5] (iv)I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me. [ The Bible, Isaiah 46:9] (v) Judaism condemns idol worship in the following verses : Thou shalt have no other gods before me.Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor see them; for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God . [The Bible, Exodus 20:3-5] (iv) A similar message is repeated in the book of Deutoronomy : Thou shalt have none other gods before me.Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that in the earth beneath, or that is in the water beneath the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them; for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God [The Bible, Deut 5:7-9]. CONCEPT OF GOD IN CHRISTIANITY: Before we discuss the concept of God in Christianity let us examine the position of Jesus (pbuh) in Islam: (i) Islam is the only non-Christian faith, which makes it an article of faith to believe in Jesus (pbuh). No Muslim is a Muslim if he does not believe in Jesus (pbuh). (ii) We believe that he was one of the mightiest Messengers of Allah (SWT). (iii) We believe that he was born miraculously without any male intervention, which many modern day Christians do not believe. (iv) We believe that He gave life to the dead with Gods permission. (v) We believe that He healed those born blind, and the lepers with Gods permission. One may ask, if both Muslims and Christians love and respect Jesus (pbuh), where exactly is the parting of ways? The major difference between Islam and Christianity is the Christians insistence on the supposed divinity of Christ. A study of the Christian scriptures reveals that Jesus (pbuh) never claimed divinity. In fact there is not a single unequivocal statement in the entire Bible where Jesus (pbuh) himself says, I am God or] where he says, worship me. In fact the Bible contains statements attributed to Jesus (pbuh) in which he preached quite the contrary. Consider the following statements in the Bible, attributed to Jesus Christ (pbuh): My Father is Greater than I (John 14:28) My Father is Greater than all (John 10:29) I cast out devils by the spirit of God . (Mathew 12:28) . with the finger of God cast out devils.. (Luke 11:20). The Most Concise Definition of God: The most concise definition of God in Islam is given in four verses of Surah Ikhlas which is Chapter 112 of the Holy Quran: 1. Say: He is Allah, The one and Only. 2. Allah, the Eternal, Absolute. 3. He begets not, nor is He begotten. 4. And there is none like unto Him. [Holy Quran 112:1-4] "Allah! There is no god but He - the Living, The Self-subsisting, Eternal. No slumber can seize Him Nor Sleep. His are all things In the heavens and on earth. Who is there can intercede In His presence except As he permitteth? He knoweth What (appeareth to His creatures As) Before or After or Behind them. Nor shall they compass Aught of his knowledge Except as He willeth. His throne doth extend Over the heavens And on earth, and He feeleth No fatigue in guarding And preserving them, For He is the Most High. The Supreme (in glory)."
What is the history of the Mazda brand?
Don’t know fully…earliest model Mazda cars I saw were the Mazda 800s, and the Mazda Cosmo, the second of which I only ever saw in a car magazine. First one I ever rode in was a Mazda 1500, which was probably the pre-Capella. The parent company is Toyo Kogyo, and it is or was headquartered in Hiroshima..which I’m sure there have been some jokes about over the years. their 1970s cars were things like the 808 Savannah, which was the successor to the 1200/1300, the Capella, the 929, and the first model 121, which to me was styled to look like a very compact version of an American car such as , say, a Mk IV Continental. Plus of course all the rotary versions of the above cars.R100, RX2–3–4–5. Later I had a bit to do with the Ford Telstar, which was a Ford-badged 2nd generation Mazda 626 FWD, often with the 2.2 12v engine. My impressions of that car, was that it was good quality very strong mechanically. I worked on some or most of them, but not really the rotaries in any deep surgery sense. …In the 1970s models, there was a general feeling among mechanics that although well-made and finished, they were ‘soft” mechanically compared to their Toyota and Datsun counterparts.That if an 808 vs a Corolla vs a 120Y/Sunny…the Mazda, although maybe best looker of the three, should be the last preferred, though still considered. These latter days, things like the Mazda 2, 3, and 6. My impressions are that it is a very good product. But for some reasons, as a non-American, I notice on this site a lot of American posters seeming to devalue disparage or sneer at them.Compared to Honda or Toyota.
What is the oldest record and usage of the Persian word ‘Mehr’?
An A2A from one of my favorite Quorans; I am honored, ,Saeid Atoofi,. Thank you, this is indeed a very interesting topic to write (and read) on. Persian ,Mehr, مهر, from Early Modern Persian ,Mihr,, is the name of a Zoroastrian deity, who also lends his name to the seventh month of the Iranian calendar. The Modern Persian form of this name (,Mehr, or ,Mihr,) descends from the Avestan ,Miθra,, which was loaned into (Old) Persian in Achæmenid times (or even earlier), when the Persians accepted Zoroaster’s religion. The native Old Persian cognate of ,Miθra, would be *,Miça,, but this form is not attested in any text or inscription. This unattested form, *,Miça,, probably was the name of a god in Old Persian polytheism, before the Zoroastrian revision, but was likely completely replaced by the Avestan cognate by the time of our records. (I) Records The oldest known mention of Miθra is in a fourth century inscription of ,Artaxerxes II Mnemon,. Here is the passage where the Emperor asks for the protection of Ahura Mazdâ (Modern Persian ,Hormazd, هورمَزد), Anâhitâ (Modern Persian ,Nâhid, ناهید) and Miθra (Modern Persian ,Mehr, مهر): θâtiy \ Artaxšaçā \ XŠ \ vazraka \ XŠ \ XŠyânâm \ XŠ \ DHyûnâm \ XŠ \ ah yâyâ \ BUyâ \ Dârayavašahyâ \ XŠhyâ \ puça \ Dârayavašahyâ \ Artaxšaθra hyâ \ XŠhyâ \ puça \ Artaxšaθrahyâ \ Xšayâršahyâ \ XŠhyâ \ Xšayâr šahyâ \ Dârayavašahyâ \ XŠhyâ \ puça \ Dârayavašahyâ \ Vištâspahyâ \ puça \ \ Haxâmanišiya \ imam \ apadâna \ vašnâ \ AM \ Anâhitâ \ utâ \ Mitra \ adam \ akun âm \ AM \ Anâhitâ \ utâ \ Mitra \ mâm \ pâtuv \ hacâ \ vispâ \ gastâ \ ut â \ imam \ tya \ akunâ \ mâ \ vijanâtiy \ mâ \ vinâθayâtiy [Translation: ,Artaxerxes, the great king, the king of kings, the king of all nations, the king of this world, the son of king Darius [II Nothus], Darius the son of king Artaxerxes [I Makrocheir], Artaxerxes the son of king Xerxes, Xerxes the son of king Darius, Darius the son of Hystaspes, the Achæmenid, says: this hall [apadana] I built, by the grace of Ahura Mazdâ, Anâhitâ, and Miθra. May Ahura Mazdâ, Anâhitâ, and Miθra protect me against evil, and may they never destroy nor damage what I have built.,] This text appears in column bases in both Hamadan and Susa, where Artaxerxes II had his palace at. In his palace, one also finds this direct quote: vašnâ \ AMhâ \ imâm \ hadiš \ tya \ jivadiy \ paradayadâm \ adam \ akunavâm \ AM \ Anah ita \ utâ \ Mitra \ mâm \ pâtuv \ hacâ \ vispâ \ gastâ \ utamaiy \ kartam [Translation: ,By the grace of Ahura Mazdâ, I built this palace, which I have built in my lifetime as a pleasant retreat [paradise]. May Ahura Mazdâ, Anâhitâ, and Miθra protect me and my building against evil.,] These inscriptions are very important in understanding the religion of the Achæmenid royalty. As the ,Wikipedia page on Miθra, notes, Although the Behistun inscription of Darius I (r. 522 - 486 B.C.) invokes Ahura Mazdâ and "the Other Gods who are", this inscription of Artaxerxes II is remarkable as no Achæmenid king before him had invoked any but Ahura Mazdâ alone by name. Boyce suggests that the reason for this was that Artaxerxes had chosen Anâhitâ and Miθra as his patron/protector Divinities. Regarding the first inscription, Boyce [2] says, Down all the all the generations which Artaxerxes here names, the Acæmenian kings had invoked only Ahura Mazdâ; and now he himself broke with this long-established tradition by calling also upon Miθra and Anâhitâ, whom he invokes again as a pair in two other surviving inscriptions. Boyce says Artaxerxes II is part of ,a cult of ,Anâhitâ,. In another column base in Hamadan, there is this interesting inscription addressing Miθra exclusively: apadânam \ stûnâya \ athagainam \ Artaxšaçâ \ XŠ \ vazraka \ akunauš \ hya \ Dârayavauš \ XŠ \ puçâ \ Haxâmanišiya \ Miθra \ mâm \ pâtuv [Translation: ,This audience hall with columns of stone was made by Artaxerxes, the great king. He, the son of king Darius [II Nothus], the Achæmenid, [says]: May Miθra protect me.,] Later, Artaxerxes II’s son and successor ,Artaxerxes III Ochus, invokes Miθra once again in an inscription on a newly-built staircase at the Palace of Darius in Persepolis: θâtiy \ Artaxšaçâ \ xšâyaθi ya \ imam \ ustašanâm \ aθaganâm \ mâ m \ upâ \ mâm \ kartâ \ θâtiy \ Arta xšaçâ \ xšâyaθiya \ mâm \ AM \ utâ \ Miθra \ baga \ pâtuv \ utâ \ imâ m \ DHyaum \ utâ \ tya \ mâm \ kartâ \ [Translation: ,King Artaxerxes says: This stone staircase was built by me in my reign. King Artaxerxes says: May Ahura Mazdâ and the god Miθra preserve me, my country, and what has been built by me.,] (II) The god and the word In modern Persian, the noun ,mehr, مهر can stand for a variety of positive emotions, including ‘kindness’, ‘affection’ and ‘sympathy’, and is also represented as the first morpheme of ,mehrbâni, مهربانی, meaning ‘kindness’ (loaned into Hindi-Urdu as ,mahrbānī, مهربانی महरबानी). However, the original meaning of ,miθra, in Avestan (from which Old Persian borrowed the word, as mentioned before) was something along the lines of ‘contract’, ‘covenant’ or ‘pact’. [Note that in the Islamic context, Persian does preserve the original Avestan meaning of ‘contract’, since in this sense, it reborrowed the word back from Arabic (,mahr, ,مَهْر) which had borrowed it from Persian at some point!!] The Avestan word ,miθra, is cognate with Vedic ,mitrá,, where it usually stands for ‘friend’ or ‘associate’, though occasionally in compounds and fossilized phrases, the original meaning is found. For example, the Encyclopædia Iranica article on Miθra and Mitrá notes expressions in the R̥gvēdá like ,mitráṁ dʰā, (an expression for concluding a contract), as well as quotes from the Ásura ,Namući, (links to German Wikipedia, no English version available), who addresses the Dēvá Índra as ,mitradruh, (deceiver of contract, compare Avestan ,miθradruj,) and ,mitrahan, (slayer of contract) when Índra kills him through trickery. The mainstream Vedic meaning of ‘friend’ survives in modern Indo-Aryan languages. For example, some dialects of Panjabi have ,mitt, ਮਿੱਤ and dialectal forms of Bengali (and Assamese) have ,mitā, মিতা, and the exact Sanskrit borrowing (tatsama) ,mitra, is used in many other South Asian languages as a word for ‘friend’. It is also worth noting that the native reflex ,Mitā, মিতা is used as a female proper name among Bengalis (possibly others as well), and the tatsama ,Mitra, মিত্র (or its colloquial Bengali version ,Mittir, মিত্তির) is a common surname among Bengali Kāẏastʰa (a Hindu caste), for example, the half-Bengali German musician Niel Mitra of ,Faun,. Both in the Avesta and the Vēdá-s, Miθra/Mitrá is a major deity. It is worth noting, however, that all mentions of the god ,Miθra, in Zoroastrian texts is restricted to the Younger Avesta. The Older Avesta makes no mention of Miθra (or any deity other than Ahura Mazdâ), with a partial exception being the one time when the noun (but not the deity) ,miθra, is used in the Yasna-s. This is taken by many scholars as evidence of total denouncement of traditional Iranic polytheism by Zoroaster. They argue that the only reason deities like Miθra, Anâhitâ, Airiiaman, Sraoša etc. were able to make a comeback in the later books (albeit as subordinates to Ahura Mazdâ) was because Zoroaster’s reformed monotheistic religion got influenced by the polytheism of the majority as Zoroastrianism expanded among Iranian tribes other than the ones Zoroaster originally converted/convinced. Gerševič [6] writes, The ,dvandva, Miθra-Ahura must have originated in non-Zaraθuštrian circles, since in the Younger Avesta, it is obviously an old fossil, and in the old days, no Zaraθuštrian would have touched the name of Miθra, let alone dared to make him a companion of Ahura Mazdâ. In the Younger Avesta, Miθra is seen once complaining to Ahura Mazdâ that despite his rôle as protector, men do not worship him. The article in Encyclopædia Iranica notes, The complaints of Miθra … indicate that they were ignored in earlier worship which followed the practice in the Gāθā-s of Zaraθuštra, where none of the traditional pagan gods is mentioned. [The view that the pure monotheism of Zaraθuštra was diluted in the later texts is challenged by Boyce [4], but I remain unconvinced. She claims that Zoroastrianism, even the early Gāθā-s, was not fully monotheistic. Miθra and other deities remain unmentioned there simply because there was no need to mention them.] The Miθra of the Avesta is concerned with maintaining the sanctity of contracts and pacts among men, as his name implies, both social and political. Miθra is ,Aṣ̌avan,, protector of ,Aṣ̌a, — truth and order. He protects and rewards those who honors pacts, and punishes those who don’t. He never sleeps, and in fact, is seen as an enemy of sloth. He has a thousand eyes and a thousand ears with which he watches over Airiiana vaêjah (land of the Aryans) to keep track of those who betray ,Aṣ̌a,, and to punish them. His spies are scattered thoughout the lands. He is associated with the sun, and travels on his chariot, even ahead of the sun, surveying Airiiana vaêjah for miscreants from the top of the mountain range Harâ. He is the sworn enemy of, and in constant battle with the Daêva-s (demons, bad gods) and other opponents of truth (the Lie). The Avestan texts frequently refer to Miθra as ,Miθram vouru.gaoyaotîm,, which is translated by Gerševič [6] as ‘grass-land magnate Miθra’ and by Skjærvø [9] as ‘Miθra, provider of wide grazing grounds’, which Kuz’mina [8] sees as a signal for pastoral origins of the Aryans. In this regard, he is protector of all creatures, and the lord of countries and borders, and through the contracts he presides over, are the borders of neighbors maintained, thereby preventing conflict. (III) Miθra and Mitrá Miθra, or rather ,Mitrá,, is also a god among the Indo-Aryan cousins of the Iranians, and bears nearly identical properties. In fact, our oldest record of this god is not from Achæmenid (or Vedic) sources, but from the Mittani kingdom in modern-day Syria (about a thousand years before the Achæmenid records), where a treaty between the Hurrian-speaking Mittani rulers and the Hittites ,invokes the Indo-Aryan gods, ,u-ru-wa-na, (Vedic ,Váruṇa,),, in-dar, (Vedic ,Índra,),, mi-it-ra, (Vedic ,Mitrá,) and, na-ša-at-ti-ya, (Vedic ,Nāsatya,). [Though the oldest known records that can strictly be called Iranic are still those of Artaxerxes.] Over in India, ,Mitrá, has just one hymn in the R̥gvēdá dedicated specifically to him, although many more are addressed to him as part of the ,dvandva, Mitrá-Váruṇa. Alone, Mitrá is insignificant, but together with Váruṇa, he wields just as much power among the Vedic Indo-Aryans as he does among Iranians. Although the Vedic Mitrá is a direct parallel of the Avestan Miθra, several of his features are seen divided among Váruṇa, Índra and other Ādityá-s (children of, ,Aditi). It is thus instructive to consider the rôle of Mitrá in the R̥gvēdá, juxtaposed with his rôle in the Avesta, as well as the rôles of other deities. Like his Avestan counterpart, Mitrá is chiefly concerned with maintaining the relation between men, maintaining order by being firm in upholding agreements. He doesn’t blink, just as Miθra is ever-awake. While Váruṇa is the lords of rivers and seas, Mitrá is associated with the sun. In the Avesta, Miθra travels before the sun, while in the Vēdá-s, the sun is one of Mitrá’s eyes. [The point about Váruṇa being lord of the seas and rivers is important, since in later Hindu texts (including the Tolkāppiyam of the Tamils), he is relegated to the position of a water deity.] Mitrá and Váruṇa are worthy of worship, and protect and reward those who follow ,R̥tá, (the Vedic cognate of Avestan ,Aṣ̌a, and Old Persian ,Arta,), just as they punish those who don’t. They hold the world up, by compelling men to honor treaties. While Miθra in the Avesta has a thousand eyes, in the Vēdá-s, it is ,Váruṇa, who does. For instance, Hymn XXXIV of the R̥gvēdá has this line, Váruṇa, Mighty, with a thousand eyes, beholds the paths wherein these rivers run. [Although to be fair, several others have been said to possess this quality, including, but not exclusively, Agni and Puruṣa.] A corresponding reference to ,the thousand eyes, of Miθra is in Yasht 6.5, I will sacrifice to Miθra who provides wide grazing grounds, with a thousand ears, with ten thousand eyes. Just as Miθra has spies on earth among mortals in the Avesta, in the Vēdá-s, Váruṇa does. In the Avesta, Miθra cannot be tricked; in the R̥gvēdá, the Ādityá-s (of whom Mitrá is one) cannot be tricked. At this point, it is worth commenting on the seeming opposition of the Iranic and Indic traditions of myths. In the Avesta, the Ahura-s, led by ,Ahura Mazdâ,, are the gods, while Daêva-s are demons. In the later parts of the Vēdá-s, we see the exact opposite: the Ásura-s are demons, while the Dēvá-s are gods. However, in the earliest parts of the R̥gvēdá, both Ásura-s and Dēvá-s are treated worthy of worship. In fact, the deities Váruṇa, Mitrá and Savitŕ̥ are called Ásura-s, as in Hymn XXIV of the R̥gvēdá, With bending down, oblations, sacrifices, O Váruṇa, we deprecate thine anger: Wise Ásura, thou King of wide dominion, loosen the bonds of sins by us committed. Ahura Mazdâ himself has no direct Vedic parallel. A word-by-word cognate, Ásura Mēdʰā́, is indeed possible, but such a character does not appear anywhere in Hinduism. Certain attributes of his link to Índra, such as being the head of the pantheon, some to Váruṇa, such as being paired with Mitrá/Miθra, but nothing conclusive. [See also ,Zartusht Ashavan's answer to Is the God of Zoroaster (Ahura Mazda), the same as the Hindu God (Brahman)?,] Gerševič [6] is of the opinion that the unrecorded Iranic equivalent of Váruṇa (*Vouruna) was indeed identified with (or merged into) the Zoroastrian Ahura Mazdâ, but for more on that, check out the reference. Speaking of ,Índra,, the king of Vedic gods, one also notices that some attributes of his match that of Miθra. Miθra punishes those who go against truth and order (,Aṣ̌a,/,R̥tá,), and while the Vēdá-s do mention Mitrá, Váruṇa and Aryamán (Avestan ,Airiiaman,) as punishers, for the most part, this is Índra’s job. As noted in Encyclopædia Iranica, the Vedic Mitrá “lacks the martial qualities almost completely”. Índra himself does appear in the Avesta, but only as a minor Daêva (demon), for example, in Vendidad 19.43, He exhorted, he dissuaded, he took courage, he lost courage, the Evil Spirit full of destruction, the greatest among the old gods. (There were) the old god Indra, the old god Sâurwa, the old god Nâŋhaiθya, the old gods Taurwi and Zairi, Wrath with the bloody club, the old god Evil-fashioner, the Winter set in place by the old gods, dangerous, destructive Senility—it makes for bad deceit, the old god Bûiti, the old god Drivel, the old god Deceit, the old god Pustule, the old god Cutter, the worst old god of them all. Perhaps this shouldn’t be surprising since the non-Ásura gods (the Dēvá-s) are demonized full-scale in the Avesta. Índra’s legendary weapon Vájra though appears on the good side as Vazra — the mace of Miθra. Also noteworthy, in this connection, is the minor Avestan deity Vərəθraγna. Vərəθraγna is a side-kick to Miθra, but it is he who does most of the fighting. He is ,vərəθrajan, — resistence-smasher — traveling before Miθra’s chariot, smashing the resolve (and often bones) of those who would stray from ,Aṣ̌a,. The cognate term in Vedic is ,vr̥trahán,, which doubles in meaning as ‘slayer of Vr̥trá’. ,Vr̥trahán, is one of the honorifics bestowed upon Índra in the R̥gvēdá, since he slays the snake/dragon demon ,Vr̥trá,. [While Índra fell out of grace in mainstream post-Vedic Hinduism, he did retain his central position on the remote edges of Hindu territory. In particular, before their conversion to Islam in the late nineteenth century, the Kafirs of Nuristan regarded Índra as their main deity, and so do the Kalash of Pakistan today.] References: Boyce, Mary: ,A History of Zoroastrianism, Vol. 1,, E.

If you hit a deer and it was severely injured and suffering, would you put it down if you could safely do it or would you wait for the police?
Well coming from a long line of hunters Iv had my fair share if dealing with this for only being 20 years old. Two instances really come to mind but before I go any further if you have the ability to put the deer or any animal down please do so. It’s not fair to them to have to wait 10 minutes suffering for an officer. If you are uncomfortable or simply can not that’s fine but if you can and just think oh I’ll let the cop deal with it please just kill it. Okay back to my two stories. The first instance was 3 years ago I was in my way to school I was in 11th grade at the time and my bus driver hit a deer and it was really bad. So they called the police. Where we live (middle of nowhere but the town is pretty big) the cops said 25 30 minutes since there were only two on duty and both were occupied. I simply got up walked to the front of the bus told our driver (who I knew from when I was a kid he was friends with my dad) I told him I’ll kill the deer he said it’s not a good idea I’ll get in trouble with our school. I said I wasn’t asking and not letting it suffer fir 40 minutes. I pulled my pocket knife and ended it. Not that big of a deal. Cop arrives and says I had done the right thing. Got to school word spread (mostly from the more city type girls ) that I was a killer I Murdered a defenseless deer etc. I got called to the principal who proceeded to say how it was not legal and I was going to be in detention fir the next week I called up the officer who can’t by explaining the situation. I never had any trouble after that and no detention. Fast forward to last year I was 19 on my way home from college. I’m driving my 2013 Mazda 6 sport and I was going around 60 on a back road and boom I hit the deer a young spike. I only hit the rear of it and somehow didn’t destroy my car actually you wouldn’t of even known and somehow didn’t stall the car (it’s a manual transmission) the back legs were broke and it needed to get put down. So I called the game warden ( since I had a person who lived across the street witness it I didn’t feel like explaining later on why it wasn’t reported) so then I got on the phone explaining the situation I said it was pretty bad I was going to put it down he said no way I could do that no way I was going to do it o said well if you don’t want me to then show up in the next 5 minutes and do it yourself. He said he wouldn’t be their for at least 25 minutes I said okay then I’ll put it down he started complaining saying I couldn’t I wasn’t able to bla bla bla. So I did it with him on the phone. He said oh okay well where are you planning on bringing the deer ? I said I could take it home over half it was still good I’ll cut it up and keep the good parts he said that’s fine. So that’s my two stories.
What are the worst names and/or designs for cars in the last 100 years?
Hello there, Oh goodness there are some ,choice, bad ones - some intentional, and some not … I’ll go through my favourite examples. Fiat Ritmo, - this is the go-(slightly)-faster Abarth version. Not a success in the United States or Canada thanks to sharing its name with a then-well-selling brand of ,Toilet Paper,! Not the first example of toilet humour, as we will see… Renault Manager, - a,.,k,.,a. Renault 21. A freak of a name, as the initial idea for marketing it over the pond (i.e. USA and Canada) was to call it a ‘Chamade’ - this was found not to work because the Yanks and Canadians would either promptly call it a ‘Chemise’ and all its Victoria’s Secret connotations (remember kids, Americans are public prudes - and unhinged in private!) - or , else, be confused with the small economic Daihatsu Charade, which was already in the market. Which is difficult, but, there you go. The 21 was freaky for being produced as ,two, distinct platforms! One was FWD and very up to the minute, and the high powered versions were a completely RWD - but both featured the same auto slushbox which was, by all accounts, the reason for their insipid glacial acceleration … and the manual box was, well, woolly would be a nice description. Freaky name for a freaky car… Mitsubishi Carisma, - famous for having none. Nissan Cedric, - A strange name for a ,series, of cars, some of which have made it overseas under the names of Maxima (which is better, I suppose) or others. Nissan Gloria, - Another series of smaller four door cars over the years. Cedric’s girlfriend, perhaps? Mohs Ostentatienne Opera Sedan, - for a car that had ,no, ostentation, ,no, opera (though the larger ladies might have appreciated its sheer bulk in terms of interior space which was a redeeming feature), and ,no, sedan - its sole door was a rear hatch, making this behemoth probably one of the world’s largest hatchbacks (Jeremy Clarkson’s Fiat Giant Panda limo being the current world record holder - and funnier). Ford Probe, - Actually quite a sophisticated beast, it is a re-body of the best bits of the Mazda MX-6 sportscar. Its name, however, is iffy - I always associated it with a space probe (e.g. Pioneer 10, Voyager 1 & 2), however the majority of people tend to think more - ,medically,. In truth , though, Ford had made a number of ‘Ford Probe’ experimental cars in the late 1970s and early 1980s, one of which became (with a few mods) a production car - the Ford Probe IV, which then became the best-selling Ford Sierra from Ford Europe. Great Wall Wingle, - From China, and made there - shudder - and with a name like that I think it should be given a miss. Mazda Titan Dump,. More epic toilet humour from Japan. The truck, however, it a neat idea for tight spaces (wicked, ,wicked, grin - there’s just so much ,mileage, from this running gag…) Chevrolet Celebrity, - I suppose famous for being the last gasp of the much-reviled 1980’s K-cars trailing off into the 1990s. Not an actual celebrity, btw. Austin Princess, An oddly named car - this one’s clearly 1970’s, as it is brown and browner. Not a bad car… Then it had a transition and became the ,Austin Ambassador.,. The mind boggles. Audi Q8., What’s weird about this one ? Audi has sold millions of these Panzer tanks, and they are really popular everywhere. Say the name out loud … Kuuu. Aight. OK - this is a car the United States believes in liberating from the late Saddam Hussein, as long as they have a UN resolution to do so. And it's best if the car is liberated in the Persian Gulf (seeing as there are lots of them sold there, this isn’t a steep pitch). They’ll even have a war about it too… Toyota Urban Cruiser, - sadly a ,very, dodgy name for an otherwise competently engineered car. Mazda LaPuta, … sigh … named after Johnathan Swift’s flying city in ,Gulliver’s Travels, (which I have always found pleasantly bawdy - and do you know, there is a real Lilliput in Ireland?) which could fly with ,no visible means of support,. Spanish for ‘a fallen woman of ill repute’ and other fruitier names e.g. tart. Japanese oddness for sure. Toyota Toyopet, - which is the ancestor of the Corona and the Carina. Its name was literally a ,near miss. ,They wanted to initially call it - wait for it - the ,Toyolet. ,Can you imagine the witty repartee - ‘Hello, I drive a Toyolet.’ ‘You sure do buddy - you sure ,do.’ There are lots of others. James May picked up that the last Ferrari supercar has an odd name indeed … Ferrari LaFerrari, - Which James promptly - and correctly - labeled ‘The Ferrari The Ferrari’. Oh, it's a great car, but oddly named. But it's not alone… The track-only ,Ferrari FXX K, - the LaFerrari’s racecar version, and named - it seems - after the first words English speakers uttered on seeing it for the first time. Literally the f-bomb… Lamborghini Countach, - the name, in Piedmontese Italian, is also a slang expression when translated into English as the F-bomb, in expletive. There are many, many more, sadly.

Sleeper (car) - Wikipedia These are traditionally sedans that look like “normal” cars to most other drivers on the street, but they hold awesome performance engines (and usually, performance handling and brakes to handle all that power). There are nearly always some details that will give away the fact that these are performance sedans, but most observers would not be able to differentiate the Q or sleeper models from their family sedan stablemates. The Wikipedia article discusses two such vehicles: Chrysler 300 series in the mid-1950s, which were similar in design to the popular Windsor Lotus Carlton/ Omega in the early 1990s, whose a larger 3.6L engine (replacing the stock 3L straight-6), with twin turbos retained the bodies of the donor GM Vauxhall/ Opel models Other classic sleeper cars are Ford Taurus SHO (1989–99, and 2010-present) VW’s GTI from the 1980s, especially since the standard Rabbit was well known as a slow car; also the Golf R (2014-present) in Europe, which drops a 300 hp engine and 4-wheel drive onto the GTI frame VW Passat W8 (2001–4) and R36 (2008–10), with a 4L V8 in the first incarnation and a 3.6L 300 hp version in the late 2000s, sold in Europe and parts of Asia, which dropped in the large V6 to replace the standard 2.0L I4 Most of the Mercedes AMG sedan/coupe portfolio, which stuff extra large engines and superchargers or turbos into mainstream Mercedes C or E series designs Mercedes 300SEL 6.3 (1968–72), with a 6.3L V8 borrowed from the 600 limousine shoehorned into the S-class sedan; this design predated AMG Mercedes 500E (1991–4), with a Porsche-designed 5L engine in an unassuming E-class sedan body Audi’s S series and ultra-performance RS series Audi A6 4.2 (1994–2011 across C4 thru C6 generations) dropped big V8 engines into the midsize sedan while looking identical to the base 1.8-2L I4 designs BMW’s M series, especially the M5, introduced in 1984 Volvo XC90 V8AWD (2005–10), with a Yamaha 4.4L 360hp V8 replacing the 2.4L I5 diesel or 2.5L I5 gasoline version Renault Espace IV (2005–14?) with an optional 3.5L engine taken from the Nissan 350Z and dropped into a family minivan instead of the 2L base powerplant Mazda 6 MPS (Europe) or Mazdaspeed 6 (US) built from 2005–7, a turbocharged version of the Mazda6 sedan; Mazda 3 MPS (Europe) or Mazdaspeed 3 (US) subcompact, produced from 2007–13 Rover 75 V8 (2004–5), with a 4.6L Mustang engine replacing the standard 1.8–2.5L engines Lancia Thema (1987–92), derived from the Fiat Croma with a Ferrari V8 engine Both the Mercedes and BMW vehicles may often be seen without any model identifiers. I’ve never seen an Audi S series car that didn’t advertise its extra goodies, but an owner could always remove the identifier badges.
Have you ever bullied someone?
Not really, but my vice principal thinks I did. My school handbook defines bullying as: 1. "Bullying" means (A) the repeated use by one or more students of a written, oral or electronic communication, such as cyber bullying, directed at or referring to another student attending school in the same school district, or (B) a physical act or gesture by one or more students repeatedly directed at another student attending school in the same school district, that: (i) Causes physical or emotional harm to such student or damage to such student's property, (ii) places such student in reasonable fear of harm to himself or herself, or of damage to his or her property, (iii) creates a hostile environment at school for such student, (iv) infringes on the rights of such student at school, or (v) substantially disrupts the education process or the orderly operation of a school. Bullying shall include, but not be limited to, a written, oral or electronic communication or physical act or gesture based on any actual or perceived differentiating characteristic, such as race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, socioeconomic status, academic status, physical appearance, or mental, physical, developmental or sensory disability, or by association with an individual or group who has or is perceived to have one or more of such characteristics; Now some background info: My friend, Kevin, is a sophomore, I’m a freshman Kevin is a good 6′4″, I’m maybe 5′5″ I am always overly prepared My friend is a car guy Kevin, my friend (Liam) and I share a lunch So so all of us finished eating. Liam and I had been at a separate table than Kevin. Liam’s favorite car is the Mazda Miata, and his catchphrase is “Miata is always the answer.” Liam has the bright idea to take a piece of paper, and write “Miata is always the answer” on it and duct tape it to someone’s (read: Kevin’s) back. He comes up to me asking for duct tape. I don’t ask questions, I give him duct tape. I personally believe in he DuctTape-o-cratic Oath. Get it, like the Hippocratic Oath, but the DuctTape-o-Cratic? I’m done now. So he gets the duct tape and puts the sign on Kevin’s back. Kevin starts laughing about this, as are Liam and I. My friend Miles saw a glimpse of this but barely anything. The vice-principal comes marching over, and starts scolding us for “bullying” Kevin. Meanwhile, Kevin was laughing about this. Miles starts to walk away, but somehow he got roped into this. I got roped in by it being my duct tape. No, this was not planned, I just always have duct tape. And a first aid kit. And twine. And an outdoor survival kit… So she’s done scolding us, and doesn’t even take names, just walks away. So we all get off scotch free (for now) even though there was nothing to get off for. Also, if we wanted to bully someone (which we don’t. Sometimes Liam and I are jerks to each other, but that’s just how our friendship works. We’ve been friends since 2nd grade, we’re now 9th graders. It’s worked so far…) we wouldn’t have chosen the 6′4″ sophomore who’s the tallest in his family’s and almost the tallest in the school. Also, notice how this doesn’t really fall under any of the categories of the school’s definition of bullying?
