Bes (/bɛs/; also spelled as Bisu) is an Ancient Egyptian deity worshipped as a protector of households, and in particular, of mothers and children and childbirth. Bes later came to be regarded as the defender of everything good and the enemy of all that is bad. While past studies identified Bes as a Middle Kingdom import from Nubia, more recent research indicates that he was present in Egypt since the start of Old Kingdom. Mentions of Bes can be traced to pre-dynastic Nile Valley cultures; however his cult did not become widespread until the beginning of the New Kingdom.
Modern scholars such as James Romano claim that in its earliest inceptions, Bes was a representation of a lion rearing up on its hind legs. After the Third Intermediate Period, Bes is often seen as just the head or the face, often worn as amulets.
Images of the deity were kept in homes and he was depicted quite differently from the other gods. Normally Egyptian gods were shown in profile, but instead Bes appeared in portrait, ithyphallic, and sometimes in a soldier's tunic, so as to appear ready to launch an attack on any approaching evil. He scared away demons from houses, so his statue was put up as a protector.
The bes was an Ancient Roman bronze coin produced during the Roman Republic. Valued at two-thirds of an as (8 unciae), it was only produced in 126 BC by C. Cassius in combination with the dodrans, another very rare denomination which was valued at three-fourths of an as.

S&M (an abbreviation of Symphony and Metallica) is a live album by the American heavy metal band Metallica, with The San Francisco Symphony conducted by Michael Kamen. It was recorded on April 21–22, 1999 at The Berkeley Community Theatre. This is the final Metallica album to feature Jason Newsted as bassist.
S&M contains performances of Metallica songs with additional symphonic accompaniment, which was composed by Michael Kamen, who also conducted the orchestra during the concert. The idea to combine heavy metal with an epic classical approach, as James Hetfield has stated repeatedly, was an idea of Cliff Burton. Burton’s love of classical music, especially of Johann Sebastian Bach, can be traced back to many instrumental parts and melodic characteristics in Metallica’s songwriting including songs from Ride The Lightning and Master of Puppets. The other inspiration was Deep Purple's 1969 Concerto for Group and Orchestra. Purple revived their hybrid musical performance in 1999's Live at the Royal Albert Hall after being notified that Metallica were doing theirs earlier that year.
Human is the fourth studio album by American rapper Joell Ortiz. The album is entirely produced by Illmind. The album was released on July 17, 2015, by Roseville Music Group and Yaowa! Nation.
Today, drops of a rain will turn in snow. Today the sun will die
Eternal gloom, Will cover the faces, Makes a human hopes like an ashes of paper
Eyes are filled with blood and hands are pierced with needles.
Your heads are lost, and belief is not more the same.
Your freedom for a while only the who will open eyes, learns, that the reason in all and always.
Enmity remain between us.
The rest of a life will lead in emptiness, getting no understanding that've waited for along time...
And nobody has come, nobody has saved
So many is undone, but he has called, not asked a word
You have chose this way, where all for you is solved...
Today, drops of a rain will turn in snow. Today the sun will die
Eternal gloom, Will cover the faces, Makes a human hopes like an ashes of paper
Eyes are filled with blood and hands are pierced with needles.
Your heads are lost, and belief is not more the same.
Your freedom for a while only the who will open eyes, learns, that the reason in all and always.
Enmity remain between us.
The rest of a life will lead in emptiness, getting no understanding that've waited for along time...
And nobody has come, nobody has saved
So many is undone, but he has called, not asked a word
