Mercury may also refer to:
Mercury is the smallest planet in the Solar System and the one closest to the Sun, with an orbital period of about 88 Earth days, which is much faster than any other planet in the Solar System. Seen from Earth, it appears to move around its orbit in about 116 days. It has no known natural satellites. It is named after the Roman deity Mercury, the messenger to the gods.
Partly because it has almost no atmosphere to retain heat, Mercury's surface temperature varies diurnally more than any other planet in the Solar System, ranging from 100 K (−173 °C; −280 °F) at night to 700 K (427 °C; 800 °F) during the day in some equatorial regions. The poles are constantly below 180 K (−93 °C; −136 °F). Mercury's axis has the smallest tilt of any of the Solar System's planets (about 1⁄30 of a degree). However, Mercury's orbital eccentricity is the largest of all known planets in the Solar System. At aphelion, Mercury is about 1.5 times as far from the Sun as it is at perihelion. Mercury's surface is heavily cratered and similar in appearance to the Moon, indicating that it has been geologically inactive for billions of years.
J. D. Trennert and Son was a German type foundry established in Altona.
The following foundry types were issued by the Trennert foundry:
A hex is an item of rock climbing equipment used to protect climbers from injury during a fall. They are intended to be wedged into a crack or other opening in the rock, and do not require a hammer to place. They were developed as an alternative to pitons, which are hammered into cracks and are more prone to damage the rock. Most commonly, a carabiner will be used to join the hex to the climbing rope by means of a loop of webbing, cord or a cable which is part of the hex.
Hexes are a type of nut, a hollow eccentric hexagonal prism with tapered ends, usually threaded with webbing, a swaged cable, or a cord. They are manufactured by several firms, with a range of sizes varying from about 10–100 millimetres (0.4–4 in) wide. Climbers select a range of sizes to use on a specific climb based on the characteristics of the cracks in the rock encountered on that particular climb. Sides may be straight or curved although the functioning principles remain the same no matter which shape is selected; the lack of sharp corners on curved models may make them easier to remove from the rock.
Hex is a 2015 Nigerian horror short film directed by Clarence Peters. Screened and premiered on 12 November 2015 at the 5th Africa International Film Festival, Hex went on to win the award for "Best Short Film" at the same event.
Hex is the debut movie of Clarence Peters. Shot in Lagos with a total runtime of 26 minutes, the official trailer of the movie was released on September 28, 2015.
Hex is a turn-based strategy game developed by Mark of the Unicorn and published in 1985 for the Atari ST, and then later for the Amiga. It has been described as a "turn based Q*Bert" with RPG skill advancement components. In this game, you play a unicorn that is trying to turn all the hexes on the game board to the same colour. As you progress, opponents attempt to turn them to a different colour and thus defeat you. The game is turn-based and requires strategic thinking to produce an optimal strategy when there is significant randomization both in the effectiveness of one's own spells, and in what the opponents do in their phase of the turn. As the unicorn levels up, new spells are added to its repertoire, but only 5 can be used at any given time. The game was also innovative in its use of the recently introduced "mouse interface" to control the gameplay.
Compute! called Hex "one of the most challenging and fascinating strategy games yet devised for a computer".
Well it's been a long day
I can't wait to slip out of my skin
And it's been a long way
I can't decide what state I'll be in
I live in the tower
It's only an hour away from here
I live in the tower
Out of the pink sky
Comes a spanish radio show
Strange not to feel high
Watch the sleeping city below
I watch from my tower
It's only an hour away from here
I live in the tower
Beam from the tower
It's only an hour away from here
I live in the tower
Well there's a factory
Down at the end of, like merlin street
And they pay a good price
Guaranteed and always discreet
When I feel bigger than life
I hold a mirror up to my breath
But it's been a long day
I can't wait to slip out of my skin
Skin in the tower
It's only an hour away from here
I live in the tower
Come to the tower
It's only an hour away from here
I live in the tower
High in the tower
It's only an hour away from here
I live in the tower
Curled in the tower...
Sleep in the tower...
