In Greek mythology, the Labyrinth (Greek λαβύρινθος labyrinthos) was an elaborate structure designed and built by the legendary artificer Daedalus for King Minos of Crete at Knossos. Its function was to hold the Minotaur eventually killed by the hero Theseus. Daedalus had so cunningly made the Labyrinth that he could barely escape it after he built it.
Although early Cretan coins occasionally exhibit branching (multicursal) patterns, the single-path (unicursal) seven-course "Classical" design without branching or dead ends became associated with the Labyrinth on coins as early as 430 BC, and similar non-branching patterns became widely used as visual representations of the Labyrinth – even though both logic and literary descriptions make it clear that the Minotaur was trapped in a complex branching maze. Even as the designs became more elaborate, visual depictions of the mythological Labyrinth from Roman times until the Renaissance are almost invariably unicursal. Branching mazes were reintroduced only when garden mazes became popular during the Renaissance.
The bony labyrinth (also osseous labyrinth or otic capsule) is the rigid, bony outer wall of the inner ear in the temporal bone. It consists of three parts: the vestibule, semicircular canals, and cochlea. These are cavities hollowed out of the substance of the bone, and lined by periosteum. They contain a clear fluid, the perilymph, in which the membranous labyrinth is situated.
A fracture classification system in which temporal bone fractures detected on CT are delineated based on disruption of the otic capsule has been found to be predictive for complications of temporal bone trauma such as facial nerve injury, sensorineural deafness and cerebrospinal fluid otorrhea. On radiographic images, the otic capsule is the most dense portion of the temporal bone.
In otospongiosis, a leading cause of adult-onset hearing loss, the otic capsule is exclusively affected. This area normally undergoes no remodeling in adult life, and is extremely dense. With otospongiosis, the normally dense enchondral bone is replaced by haversian bone, a spongy and vascular matrix that results in sensorineural hearing loss due to compromise of the conductive capacity of the inner ear ossicles. This results in hypodensity on CT, with the portion first affected usually being the fissula ante fenestram.
Labyrinth is the set of sculptures and ceramics created by the Catalan artist Joan Miró for Marguerite Aimé Maeght, between 1961 and 1981. It is currently located at the Maeght Foundation in Saint Paul de Vence, France.
It consists of 250 works, mainly sculptures, scattered in a garden with terraces overlooking the sea, which illustrate the story of the connection between the Maeght family and Joan Miró. The labyrinth is a walk through the mind and imagination of the artist.
At the beginning of the 1960s, Joan Miró took an active part in Aimé Maeght's project in Saint-Paul-de-Vence. Maeght visited the artist in Cala Major (Majorca), and entrusted Josep Lluís Sert —the architect that designed Barcelona's Fundació Joan Miró— with the project of a building and a garden which included a special space to host artworks by Joan Miró. After a short period of reflection, Miró decided that he would make a labyrinth. He worked together with Josep Artigas and Joan Gardy Artigas to create the ceramic artworks that would be placed in the gardens, and he also worked together with Sert to design the building and surrounding space. Afterwards, Miró prepared several mockups of the artworks, which were finally built in marble, concrete, iron, bronze and/or ceramics. Some of the most outstanding artworks are La fourche (The Fork, built in bronze in 1973) and Le Disque (The Disk, built in ceramics that same year).
Redd is a surname. Notable people with the surname include:
Redd is a masculine given name, and may refer to:
The salmon run is the time when salmon, which have migrated from the ocean, swim to the upper reaches of rivers where they spawn on gravel beds. After spawning, all Pacific salmon and most Atlantic salmon die, and the salmon life cycle starts over again. The annual run can be a major event for grizzly bears, bald eagles and sport fishermen. Most salmon species migrate during the fall (September through November).
Salmon spend their early life in rivers, and then swim out to sea where they live their adult lives and gain most of their body mass. When they have matured, they return to the rivers to spawn. Usually they return with uncanny precision to the natal river where they were born, and even to the very spawning ground of their birth. It is thought that, when they are in the ocean, they use magnetoception to locate the general position of their natal river, and once close to the river, that they use their sense of smell to home in on the river entrance and even their natal spawning ground.

Listen to me father see my wings
A dream of a thousand days will set me free
Being guided by knowledge of the ones who learned to fly
Yet the secret of wisdom cannot be seen
This place I'm in, I've got to break free
These walls won't let me see my reality
My wings will help me fly straight to the air
Free from this labyrinth of fear and pain
I ask thee to take this please
Into the outside world
Do not forget us when you're free
We are all, you know
As I walk this lonely hall
Straight to the wall I have to go
My destiny has been always marked
To fly to the outside world
I see my father that warned me
"the gods will be watching you
feel no pity for no one
or the labyrinth will be part of you too"
I have failed to see the truth
The truth that was always there
My wings burn to ashes
and I am left to die
[Solo: Fito]
I can't be what I have dreamed
Cause I left behind my own self
I am now a part of this
