"Hitler also said that the business bourgeoisie ""know nothing except their profit. '"
“ⵉⵏⵏⴰ ⵀⵉⵜⵍⵔ ⴰⵍⵜⵓ ⵏⵡⵉⵙ ⵜⴳⴰ ⵜⴱⵓⵕⵊⵡⴰⵣⵉⵜ ⵏ ⵜⵙⴱⴱⴰⴱⵜ””ⵓⵔ ⵜⵙⵙⵉⵏ ⴽⵔⴰ ⴰⴱⵍⴰ ⴰⵔⵔⴰⵣ.””
The utility of these things was inherent in their practical functions.

Belle de Jour (Beauty of the day, 1967) tells the story of a bourgeois wife who is bored with her marriage and decides to prostitute herself.

In Europe, the title of Emperor has been used since the Middle Ages, considered in those times equal or almost equal in dignity to that of Pope due to the latter's position as visible head of the Church and spiritual leader of the Catholic part of Western Europe.

In as much as there is a strict definition of emperor, it is that an emperor has no relations implying the superiority of any other ruler and typically rules over more than one nation.

Their status was officially recognised by the Holy Roman Emperor in 1514, although not officially used by the Russian monarchs until 1547.

Such pre-Roman titles as Great King or King of Kings, used by the Kings of Persia and others, are often considered as the equivalent.

Empire became identified instead with vast territorial holdings rather than the title of its ruler by the mid-18th century.

"Ancient Romans abhorred the name Rex (""king""), and it was critical to the political order to maintain the forms and pretenses of republican rule."

Augustus, considered the first Roman emperor, established his hegemony by collecting on himself offices, titles, and honours of Republican Rome that had traditionally been distributed to different people, concentrating what had been distributed power in one man.

"However, it was the informal descriptive of Imperator (""commander"") that became the title increasingly favored by his successors."
“ⵡⴰⵅⵅⴰ ⴷ ⴰⵢⴰ, ⵉⴽⴽⴰ ⵜⵜ ⵏⵏ ⵓⴼⴰⵔⵉⵙ ⴰⵔⴰⵎⴰⴷⴷⵓⴷ ⵉ ⵓⵎⴱⵕⴰⵟⵓⵕ (““ⴰⵎⴰⵡⴰⵢ””) ⵙⵜⵉⵏ ⵜ ⵙ ⵜⴰⵢⵔⵉ ⵉⵏⴰⴹⴼⴰⵕⵏ ⵏⵏⵙ.”
This is one of the most enduring titles: Caesar and its transliterations appeared in every year from the time of Caesar Augustus to Tsar Simeon II of Bulgaria's removal from the throne in 1946.

Exceptions include the title of the Augustan History, a semi-historical collection of Emperors' biographies of the 2nd and 3rd century.

Few were however granted the title, and it was certainly not a rule that all wives of reigning Emperors would receive it.

In the late Republic, as in the early years of the new monarchy, Imperator was a title granted to Roman generals by their troops and the Roman Senate after a great victory, roughly comparable to field marshal (head or commander of the entire army).

Three short lived secessionist attempts had their own emperors: the Gallic Empire, the Britannic Empire, and the Palmyrene Empire though the latter used rex more regularly.

At one point, there were as many as five sharers of the imperium (see: Tetrarchy).

"These Later Roman ""Byzantine"" Emperors completed the transition from the idea of the Emperor as a semi-republican official to the Emperor as an absolute monarch."
“ⵉⵕⵓⵎⴰⵏⵉⵜⵏ ⴰⴷ ⵉⵎⴳⴳⵓⵔⴰ “” ⵉⴱⵉⵣⴰⵏⵟⵉⵜⵏ”” ⵙⵎⴷⵏ ⴰⵎⵎⵓⵜⵢ ⵙⴳ ⵜⴽⵜⵉ ⵏ ⵓⵎⴱⵕⴰⵟⵓⵕ ⵉⴳⴰⵏ ⴰⵎⵖⴰⵔ ⴰⵣⴳⵏⴰⴳⴷⵓⴷⴰⵏ ⵖⵔ ⴰⵎⴱⵕⴰⵟⵓⵕ ⵉⴳⴰⵏ ⴰⴳⵍⵍⵉⴷ ⵉⵙⵎⴷⵏ.”
"Byzantine period emperors also used the Greek word ""autokrator"", meaning ""one who rules himself"", or ""monarch"", which was traditionally used by Greek writers to translate the Latin dictator."
“ⵉⵎⴽⵉⵏⵏⴰ ⵙⵡⵓⵔⵉⵏ ⵉⵎⴱⵕⴰⵟⵓⵕⵏ ⵉⴱⵉⵣⴰⵏⵟⵉⵜⵏ ⵜⴰⴳⵓⵔⵉ ⵜⴰⵢⵓⵏⴰⵏⵉⵜ ““ⵓⴷⵓⴽⵜⴰⵜⵓⵜ””, ⵖⵓⵔ ⴰⵏⴰⵎⴽ ⵏ ““ⴰⴼⴳⴰⵏ ⵉⵏⵏⴱⴹⵏ ⴳ ⵉⵅⴼ ⵏⵏⵙ”” ⵏⵖ ⴷ ““ⴰⴳⵍⵍⵉⴷ””, ⵙⵡⵓⵔⴰⵏ ⵙ ⵜⵖⴰⵔⵙⵜ ⵜⴰⵇⴱⵓⵔⵜ ⵉⵎⴰⵔⵓⵜⵏ ⵉⵢⵓⵏⴰⵏⵉⵜⵏ ⴳ ⵓⵙⵓⵖⵍ ⵏ ⵓⴷⵉⴽⵜⴰⵜⵓⵔ ⴰⵍⴰⵜⵉⵏⵉ.”
In fact, none of these (and other) additional epithets and titles had ever been completely discarded.

"Following the tragedy of the horrific sacking of the city, the conquerors declared a new ""Empire of Romania"", known to historians as the Latin Empire of Constantinople, installing Baldwin IX, Count of Flanders, as Emperor."

From the time of Otto the Great onward, much of the former Carolingian kingdom of Eastern Francia became the Holy Roman Empire.

Geography is often defined in terms of two branches: human geography and physical geography.

Traditionally, geography has been associated with cartography and place names.

Because space and place affect a variety of topics, such as economics, health, climate, plants and animals, geography is highly interdisciplinary.

The former largely focuses on the built environment and how humans create, view, manage, and influence space.

It requires an understanding of the traditional aspects of physical and human geography, like the ways that human societies conceptualize the environment.

Regional science: In the 1950s, the regional science movement led by Walter Isard arose to provide a more quantitative and analytical base to geographical questions, in contrast to the descriptive tendencies of traditional geography programs.

In addition to all of the other subdisciplines of geography, GIS specialists must understand computer science and database systems.

Geostatistics is used extensively in a variety of fields, including hydrology, geology, petroleum exploration, weather analysis, urban planning, logistics, and epidemiology.

"The map as reconstructed by Eckhard Unger shows Babylon on the Euphrates, surrounded by a circular landmass showing Assyria, Urartu, and several cities, in turn surrounded by a ""bitter river"" (Oceanus), with seven islands arranged around it so as to form a seven-pointed star."

In contrast to the Imago Mundi, an earlier Babylonian world map dating back to the 9th century BC depicted Babylon as being further north from the center of the world, though it is not certain what that center was supposed to represent.

He extended the work of Hipparchus, using a grid system on his maps and adopting a length of 56.5 miles for a degree.

During the Middle Ages, the fall of the Roman empire led to a shift in the evolution of geography from Europe to the Islamic world.

Further, Islamic scholars translated and interpreted the earlier works of the Romans and the Greeks and established the House of Wisdom in Baghdad for this purpose.
