Man (Middle-earth)
In J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth books, such as The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, the terms Man and Men refer to humankind – in contrast to Elves, Dwarves, Orcs and other humanoid races – and does not denote gender.
The Elves call the race of Men Atani in Quenya, literally meaning "Second People" (the Elves being the First), but also Hildor (Followers), Apanónar (After-born), and Fírimar or Firyar (Mortals). Less charitably they were called Engwar (The Sickly), owing to their susceptibility to disease and old age, and their generally unlovely appearance in the Elves' eyes. The name Atani becomes Edain in Sindarin, but this term is later applied only to those tribes of Men who are friendly to the Elves. Other names appear in Sindarin as Aphadrim, Eboennin, and Firebrim or Firiath.
Origins
The race of Men is the second race of beings created by the One God, Ilúvatar. Because they awoke at the start of the Years of the Sun, while the Elves awoke at the start of the First Age during the Years of the Trees, they are called the Afterborn by the Elves.
Man (Francis Dunnery album)
Man is an album from British musician Francis Dunnery, released in 2001. It saw Francis experimenting with new sounds, most notably programmed drum beats - a departure from what had been the norm in his studio work up to this point. Vocalist/keyboardist Erin Moran (of A Girl Called Eddy) features heavily on the album.

All Nippon Airways Flight 58
All Nippon Airways (ANA) Flight 58 was a Boeing 727-281 airliner, registration JA8329, that collided with a Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF) Mitsubishi F-86F Sabre, registration 92-7932, while en route from Chitose Airport in Sapporo to Tokyo International Airport (Haneda Airport) in Tokyo on 30 July 1971 at 2:04 local time. All 162 of those on board the Boeing 727 died. The pilot and sole occupant of the F-86, a trainee with the JASDF, ejected from his aircraft shortly before the collision and survived. The collision occurred over Shizukuishi, Iwate Prefecture.
Description
Flight 58 departed Sapporo for a domestic flight to Tokyo-Haneda (HND) climbing to FL280. Meanwhile, a 22-year-old JASDF trainee, Yoshimi Ichikawa (市川良美 Ichikawa Yoshimi), and his instructor, Captain Tamotsu Kuma (隈太茂津 Kuma Tamotsu), were practicing air combat manoeuvres in their F-86 fighters. Ichikawa, who had not been watching for traffic, was instructed to break away from the 727 as it approached, but he could not avoid the accident. The leading edge of the F-86's right wing struck the left horizontal stabilizer of the Boeing 727, causing the airliner to enter a steep dive and disintegrate in mid-air, impacting near the town of Shizukuishi. The wing of the F-86 broke off and the pilot ejected safely.
