Eris (dwarf planet)

Eris (minor-planet designation 136199 Eris) is the most massive and second-largest dwarf planet known in the Solar System. It is also the ninth-most-massive known body directly orbiting the Sun, and the largest known body in the Solar System not visited by a spacecraft. It is measured to be 2,326 ± 12 kilometers (1,445.3 ± 7.5 mi) in diameter. Eris is 27% more massive than dwarf planet Pluto, though Pluto is slightly larger by volume. Eris's mass is about 0.27% of the Earth's mass.

Eris was discovered in January 2005 by a Palomar Observatory–based team led by Mike Brown, and its identity was verified later that year. It is a trans-Neptunian object (TNO) and a member of a high-eccentricity population known as the scattered disk. It has one known moon, Dysnomia. As of 2014, its distance from the Sun is 96.4 astronomical units (1.442×10¹⁰ km; 8.96×10⁹ mi), roughly three times that of Pluto. With the exception of some comets, Eris and Dysnomia are currently the second-most-distant known natural objects in the Solar System (following the November 2015 discovery of V774104 at 103 AU).

Lila: An Inquiry into Morals

Lila: An Inquiry into Morals (1991) is the second philosophical novel by Robert M. Pirsig, who is best known for Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. Lila: An Inquiry into Morals was a nominated finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1992. This semi-autobiographical story takes place in the autumn as the author sails his boat down the Hudson River. Phaedrus, the author's alter ego, is jarred out of his solitary routine by an encounter with Lila, a straightforward but troubled woman who is nearing a mental breakdown.

Major themes

The main goal of this book is to develop a complete metaphysical system based on the idea of Quality introduced in his first book. As in his previous book, the narrative is embedded between rounds of philosophical discussion. Unlike his previous book, in which he creates a dichotomy between Classical and Romantic Quality, this book centers on the division of Quality into the Static and the Dynamic. According to the novel, the known universe can be divided into four Static values: inorganic, biological, social, and intellectual. Everything in the known universe can be categorized into one of these four categories, except Dynamic Quality. Because Dynamic Quality is indefinable, the novel discusses the interactions between the four Static values and the Static values themselves.

Amine (magazine)

Amine is a Danish online magazine for women. The magazine focuses on fashion, love, wellness, work-life, career, clothing and trends. Soon after the website launched in the beginning of 2008, it had already beaten the existing players in the market, counting well-known brands such as Woman, Oestrogen and the woman site from the Danish newspaper BT.

Even though Amine hands away its content freely to the public, it manages to publish an extensive amount of articles and answer questions from a very diverse userbase. In comparison to its competitors Amine.dk does not have a hardcopy counterpart, and are not sold in stores as most of its competitors are.

The people behind

In 2008 the magazine had 8 editors, 10 writers and a wide variety of freelance columnists. The original idea came by chief editor Pernille Post Lundsgaard back in November 2007. During the next couple of months she gathered a team of experts within sexology, coaching, fashion and trends. Amine teamed up and launched their new website together with the Danish web veteran Jubii (part of Lycos Europe) in February 2008, and took over from the Benjamin Media owned magazine Woman as its new content partner.
