  1. A quotation from Euripides

    HECUBA:   Then no man on earth is truly free,
       All are slaves of money or necessity.
       Public opinion or fear of prosecution
       forces each one, against his conscience,
       to conform.
     
    ἙΚΆΒΗ:                                        [φεῦ.
       οὐκ ἔστι θνητῶν ὅστις ἔστ’ ἐλεύθερος·
       ἢ χρημάτων γὰρ δοῦλός ἐστιν ἢ τύχης
       ἢ πλῆθος αὐτὸν πόλεος ἢ νόμων γραφαὶ
       εἴργουσι χρῆσθαι μὴ κατὰ γνώμην τρόποις.]

    Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist
    Hecuba [Hekabe; Ἑκάβη], l. 864ff (c. 424 BC) [tr. Arrowsmith (1958)]

  6. “having got rid of such false ideas as that a child was the property of its mother, in the same sense as a limb to be controlled and used without consulting its inclination; and on the child’s part, that it need not face reality but run to its mother for comfort in any trouble, the psychological root of quarrelling, pestering, lying and cringing was torn up and thrown on the bonfire of self-apprehension as a sovereign soul.”

  7. Constraints for the orbital #inclination and the true mass of long-period single companions.

    This work illustrates how #Gaia and #Hipparcos allow for the orbital properties and masses of long-period RV companions to be further constrained.

    The first constraints for nearby long-period #planets from Gaia have started getting published.
