  • Aran (river)

    The Aran, from Basque Harana, is a left tributary of the Adour, in the French Basque Country, in Aquitaine, Southwest France.

    The river is also known as the Joyeuse, which is also the name of a tributary of the Bidouze.

    Geography

    The Aran rises on the northern side of the Baigura in Hélette. It flows between the Zihorri and Atezain, collects in Mendionde waters from Macaye, flows by the former castle of Garro, Bonloc, La Bastide-Clairence and the abbey of Belloc before joining the Adour at Port du Vern, below Urt. There, boats named galupe, gabarre and couralin, were used for the carriage of stones or cattle, and today still, by fishermen.

    The Aran shelters a rich ecosystem where can be found pikes, carps, zanders, eels, plaices, shads, lampreys, mullets and seabasses as well as, in season, salmons and elvers.

  • Caucasian Albania

    Albania (Latin: Albānia, Greek: Ἀλβανία, Albanía, in Old Armenian: Աղուանք Ałuankʿ (Aguank),Parthian: Ardhan, Middle Persian: Arran; Georgian: რანი, Rani); usually referred to as Caucasian Albania for disambiguation with the modern state of Albania (the native name for the country is unknown), is a name for the historical region of the eastern Caucasus, that existed on the territory of present-day republic of Azerbaijan (where both of its capitals were located) and partially southern Dagestan. Around the first centuries BC and AD the land south of the Greater Caucasus and north of the Lesser Caucasus was divided between Kolchis in the west, Caucasian Iberia in the center and Caucasian Albania in the east. To the southwest was Armenia and to the southeast Atropatene.

    After the rise of the Parthian Empire the kings of Caucasian Albania were replaced with an Arsacid family and would later be succeeded by another Iranian royal family in the 5th century AD, the Mihranids.

    Evil Devolution

    by: Ayreon

    The future's doored ingress! What lies beyond? One of you - ah, survived so much! - are you man
    enough to force this door upon its golden hinge? You craved the answer - but can you bear the
    truth? The door --! The Future --!
    futureman
    our hope's dissolved
    for man's evolved into another state of being
    have we "progressed" beyond the need of feeling?
    a cyber-brain
    the last in the chain of man/machine allience
    have we become the victims of our science?
    evil devolution
    is this an illusion
    out here in space
    human humiliation
    this mutation
    of our human race
    is this the end
    will we transcend the need for human pleasures?
    will we abandon all our earthly treasures?
    will mankind yield
    on the battlefield of natural selection
    to an inorganic digital perfection?
    evil devolution
    is this an illusion
    out here in space
    human humiliation
    this mutation
