Anders is a name in Scandinavian languages, the equivalent of the Greek Andreas ("manly") and the English Andrew. Anders is the German and Dutch word for different.
In Sweden, Anders has been one of the most common names for many centuries. According to Statistics Sweden, as of December 31, 2002, it ranks 4th among the male names. The great frequency of this name at the point in time (around 1900) when patronymics were converted into family names is the reason why 1 out of every 30 Swedes today are called Andersson.
The name day of Anders in the Scandinavian calendar is November 30, and in the old peasant superstition that day was important for determining what the Christmas weather would be. If it was very cold on November 30, there would be much sleet on Christmas (and vice versa).
In Denmark (but not in Norway or Sweden), Donald Duck's name is Anders And.
The equivalent of Anders in Basque is Ander, which is also a very common name.

WPB Anders
The WPB Anders (Polish: Wielozadaniowa Platforma Bojowa Anders i.e. Anders Multirole Combat Platform) is a family of medium, tracked combat vehicles. The vehicle was designed by OBRUM ( Polish: Ośrodek Badawczo-Rozwojowy Urządzeń Mechanicznych – Research and Development Centre for Mechanical Appliances) part of the Bumar Group. It is named after Władysław Anders, a general of the Polish Army during World War II and later a member of the Polish government-in-exile.
History
The vehicle was designed to replace the Polish Army's remaining inventory of obsolete BMP-1 fighting vehicles, the first prototype being publicly shown in 2010, at the MSPO Kielce defense industry exhibition. During its first presentation, the vehicle was shown in its fire support configuration (Polish: wóz wsparcia ogniowego), armed with a 120mm tank gun. The media referred to this vehicle as a "light tank". Later, the same vehicle was shown configured as an infantry fighting vehicle (Polish: bojowy wóz piechoty) with a KTO Rosomak Hitfist-30P turret. A more advanced IFV prototype is expected to be shown at the 2011 MSPO Kielce exhibition. Further variants, such as command and control, medical evacuation, combat-engineering and self-propelled anti-aircraft gun are also planned.

Mir (title)
Mir (مير) (is a title which is derived from the Arabic title Emir). It is an aristocratic title generally used to refer to a person who is a descendant of a commander in medieval Muslim tradition.
It was adopted in many languages under Islamic influence, such as Balochi, Ottoman Turkish,Persian, Turkish, Pashto, Azerbaijani, Kurdish, Sindhi and Bengali meaning leader of a group or tribe. According to the book Persian Inscriptions on Indian Monuments, Mir is most probably an Arabized form of Pir. Pir in Old Persian and Sanskrit means the old, the wise man, the chief and the great leader. It was Arabized as Mir then, with Al(A) (Arabic definite article), it was pronounced as Amir.
Title
Mir was also subsequently used as an honor rank. (See: Mirza).
Amongst Muslims, mir/meer has become an interchangeable synonym of sayyid (or syed), meaning "relative of prophet Muhammad".
(The last name Mirpourian is a present day example of sayyid, a direct descendant of the prophet Muhammad.)
In Muslim princely states very few formal mirs have actually reached the level of salute state, notably in present Pakistan, where only two of the six have been entitled to a gun salute and the attached His Highness. The highest-ranking are the Amir of Bahawalpur), the Mir of Khairpur (17 guns) and the Mir of Hunza (15 guns).
Meer, Beytüşşebap
Meer (ܡܥܪ)is one of the last Assyrian villages of Şırnak Province. The meaning of Meer is "construct" in Assyrian. Meer (In Turkish Kovankaya) is a village in the district of Beytüşşebap of Şırnak Province.

Marie
by: Rhonda HarrisI stood in line and left my name
Took about six hours or so
Well, the man just grinned like it was all a game
Said they’d let me know
I put in my time till the pocono line
Shut down two years ago
I was staying at the mission till I met marie
Now I can’t stay there no more
Fella ’cross town said he’s lookin’ for a man
To move some old cars around
Maybe me and marie could find a burned-out
Van and do a little settlin’ down
Aw, but I’m just dreamin’, I ain’t got no ride
And the junkyard’s a pretty good ways
That job’s about a half week old besides
It’d be gone now anyway
Unemployment said I got no more checks
And they showed me to the hall
My brother died in georgia some time ago
I got no one left to call
Summer wasn’t bad below the bridge
A little short on food that’s all
Now I gotta get marie some kind of coat
We’re headed down into fall
I used to play the mouth harp pretty good
Hustled up a little dough
But I got drunk and I woke up rolled
A couple of months ago
They got my harp and they got my dollar
Them low life so and so’s
Harps cost money and I ain’t got it
It’s my own fault I suppose
The pocono’s down but the chesapeak’s runnin’
Two freights everyday
If it was just me I’d be headed south
But marie can’t catch no train
She’s got some pain and she thinks it’s a baby,
Says we gotta wait and see
In my heart I know it’s a little boy
Hope he don’t end up like me
Well, the man’s still grinnin’ says he lost my file
I gotta stand in line again
I want to kill him but I just say no
I had enough of that line my friend
I head back to the bridge, it’s getting kinda cold
I’m feelin’ too low down to lie
I guess I’ll just tell marie the truth
Hope she don’t break down and cry
Marie she didn’t wake up this morning
She didn’t even try
She just rolled over and went to heaven
My little boy safe inside
I laid them in the sun where somebody’d find them
Caught a chesapeak on the fly
Marie will know I’m headed south
So’s to meet me by and by
Marie will know I’m headed south
