Bible | Pan a vessel of metal or earthenware used in culinary operations; a cooking-pan or frying-pan frequently referred to in the Old Testament (Lev. 2:5; 6:21; Num. 11:8; 1 Sam. 2:14, etc.). The "ash-pans" mentioned in Ex. 27:3 were made of copper, and were used in connection with the altar of burnt-offering. The "iron pan" mentioned in Ezek. 4:3 (marg., "flat plate " or "slice") was probably a mere plate of iron used for baking. The "fire-pans" of Ex. 27:3 were fire-shovels used for taking up coals. The same Hebrew word is rendered "snuff-dishes" (25:38; 37:23) and "censers" (Lev. 10:1; 16:12; Num. 4:14, etc.). These were probably simply metal vessels employed for carrying burning embers from the brazen altar to the altar of incense. The "frying-pan" mentioned in Lev. 2:7; 7:9 was a pot for boiling.

Literature | Pan The personification of deity displayed in creation and pervading all things. As flocks and herds were the chief property of the pastoral age, Pan was called the god of flocks and herds. He is also called the god of hyle, not the "woods" only, but "all material substances." The lower part was that of a goat, because of the asperity of the earth; the upper part was that of a man, because ether is the "hegemonic of the world;" the lustful nature of the god symbolised the spermatic principle of the world; the libbard's skin was to indicate the immense variety of created things; and the character of "blameless Pan" symbolised that wisdom which governs the world.

Typical cooking pansPeople have used a variety of cooking pans and pots for food preparation throughout history. Vessels for cooking include saucepans, frying pans (or fry pans), woks, double boilers, and bain-maries.
Classically in Western cooking, the best pots were made out of a thick layer of copper for good conductivity and a thin layer of tin to prevent the copper from reacting with acidic foods. A copper pan provides the best conductivity, and therefore the most even heating, but tend to be heavy and expensive, and require occaisional retinning. Copper pans are best for high-heat, fast-cooking techniques such as sauteeing.
Cast iron also heats evenly, but requires seasoning (a thin layer of fat that builds up and prevents sticking) and so cannot be washed with soap. Enameled cast iron pans do not require seasoning. Spinach cooked on bare cast iron will turn black.
In the 20th century, aluminum and stainless steel have been used in the fabrication of pots and pans. Aluminum conducts heat well, and is very lightweight, but sticks badly. Stainless has less of a tendancy to stick, but are bad conductors of heat. Neither material rusts or corode. Inexpensive pans made out of these materials tend to be flimsy and too thin to spread heat evenly on the cooking surface, resulting in hot spots where food burns and sticks. Aluminum also has an unfortunate tendancy to react with certain foods. Stainless steel is completely non-reactive.
Hard-anodized aluminum was first introduced by Calphalon, which is claimed to be totally non-reactive. All Clad introduced a technique for fabricating pans made with multiple layers, stainless steel for the cooking surface, and aluminum (or copper) on the outside for conductivity. Both provide much of the functionality of tinned-copper pots for a fraction of the price.
Small, shallow pans are called saute pans or frypans and are generally measured by width. Frypans with a gentle, rolling slope are sometimes called omelette pans. Small pots with taller sides are called saucepans and are measured by volume (Usually 1-4 quarts). As saucepans get larger, they are called sauce-pots or soup pots (3-12 quarts). Saucepots with sloping sides are called Windsor pans, which provide quicker evaporation than straight sides. Large pots that are wide and shallow are called braisiers, ones that are taller than they are wide are called stockpots (12-36 quarts).
Modern cooking pans are frequently coated with a substance such as teflon in order to minimize the possibility of food sticking to the pan surface. This has advantages and disadvantages for flavor and ease of use. A small amount of sticking is needed to cause flavorful browning (called a glaze--adding liquid to lift the glaze from the pot is called deglazing), and nonstick pans cannot be used at high temperatures. On the other hand, they are easier to clean and do not result in burned food as often. When frying in pans without such a coating, it is usually necessary to use vegetable or animal fat to prevent sticking.
Nonstick coatings tend to degrade over time, and require vigilant care and attention. In order to preserve the nonstick functionality of a pan, never use metal implements in the pan while cooking, and never use harsh scouring pads or chemical abrasives.
A Griddle is a hot plate similar to an electric frying pan. It has multiples square mettle grooves enabeling the contents to have a defined pattern. Similar to a WaffleMaker.

Pan is a fictional character in the Animes Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball GT. She is a Halfbreed Saiyan.Pan is the daughter of Videl and Gohan, which also means that she is the granddaughter of both Goku and Hercule. She is the strongest female Saiyan to ever live. In her infancy she spent a lot of time with Goku, so she trained a lot. When she was 4 years old she was already regularly flying around the world, and attempting to beat her best times.
When Goku leaves at the end of the Dragon Ball Z series, to train Uubu, he also leaves behind the very impressionable Pan who develops anger towards Goku for failing to keep his promise to visit his family and friends.
During Dragon Ball GT, Pan goes into outer space with Goku and Trunks in order to find the Black Star Dragonballs. This was not intentional, Gohan was supposed to take her place but she hit the launch button on the space ship before he had boarded.

It was discovered by Mark R. Showalter in 1990 from analysis of old Voyager probe photos. Pan is within the Encke Division in Saturn's A ring; it acts as a shepherd and is responsible for keeping the Encke gap open. Its gravity produces wave patterns in the rings that indicated Pan's presence and led to the reexamination of Voyager photographs of its predicted location. Other undiscovered moons may exist within Saturn's rings.

Pan (Greek Παν, genitive Πανος is the Greek god who watches over shepherds and their flocks. He has the hindquarters, legs, and horns of a goat, in the same manner as a satyr, and is one of the deities within the archetype of the Horned God. His parentage is unclear; in some legends he is the son of Zeus and in some he is the son of Hermes. His mother is said to be a nymph.
The Homeric hymn to Pan describes him as delighting all the gods, and thus getting his name. The Roman counterpart to Pan is Faunus, (see below), another version of his name, which is at least Indo-European. But accounts of Pan's genealogy are so varied that it must lie buried deep in mythic time. Like other nature spirits, Pan appears to be older than the Olympians, if it is true that he gave Artemis her hunting dogs and taught the secret of prophecy to Apollo.
Pan was originally an Arcadian god, and Arcadia was always the principal seat of his worship. Arcadia was a district of primitive mountain folk, whom other Greeks disdained, as the Olympians patronized Pan. Arcadian hunters used to scourge the statue of the god if they had been disappointed in the chase (Theocritus. vii. 107)
Pan inspired sudden fear in lonely places, Panic fear (panikon deima)
One of the famous legends of Pan involves the origin of his trademark pan pipes. Syrinx was a beautiful nymph beloved by the satyrs and other wood dwellers. She scorned them all. As she was returning from the hunt one day, Pan met her. She ran away and didn't stop to hear his compliments, and he pursued until she came to the bank of a river where he overtook her. She had only time to call on the water nymphs for help. Just as Pan laid hands on her, she was turned into the river reeds When the air blew through the reeds, it produced a plaintive melody. The god took some of the reeds to make an instrument which he called a syrinx, in honor of the nymph.
Echo was a nymph who was a great singer and dancer and scorned the love of any man. This angered Pan, a lecherous god, and he instructed his followers to kill her. Echo was torn to pieces and spread all over earth. The goddess of the earth, Gaia, received the pieces of Echo, whose voice remains repeating the last words of others. In some versions, Echo and Pan first had one child: Iambe.
Pan also loved a nymph named Pitys, who was turned into a pine tree to escape him.
Pan is famous for his sexual prowess, and is often depicted with an erect priapus. He was believed by the Greeks to have plied his charms primarily on maidens and shepherds. Though he failed with Syrinx and Pithys, Pan didn't fail with the Maenads&mdash he had every one of them, in one orgiastic riot or another. To effect this, Pan was sometimes multiplied into a whole tribe of Panes.
Once Pan had the audacity to compare his music with that of Apollo, and to challenge Apollo, the god of the lyre, to a trial of skill. Tmolus, the mountain-god, was chosen to umpire. Pan blew on his pipes, and with his rustic melody gave great satisfaction to himself and his faithful follower, Midas, who happened to be present. Then Apollo struck the strings of his lyre. Tmolus at once awarded the victory to Apollo, and all but Midas agreed with the judgment. He dissented, and questioned the justice of the award. Apollo would not suffer such a depraved pair of ears any longer, and caused them to become the ears of a donkey.
King Midas was mortified at this mishap. But he attempted to hide his misfortune with an ample turban or headdress. But his hairdresser of course knew the secret. He was told not to mention it. He could not keep the secret; so he went out into the meadow, dug a hole in the ground, whispered the story into it, and covered the hole up. A thick bed of reeds sprang up in the meadow, and began whispering the story and saying "King Midas has an ass' ears."
It seems likely that the demonized images of the incubus and even the horns and cloven hooves of Satan, as depicted in much Christian literature and art, were taken from the images of the highly sexual Pan.
If you would believe Greek historian Plutarch (in "The Obsolescence of Oracles" (Moralia, Book 5:17) Pan is the only Greek god who is dead. During the reign of Tiberius (A.D. 14-37), the news of Pan's death came to one Thamus, a sailor on his way to Italy by way of the island of Paxi. A divine voice hailed him across the salt water, "Thamus, are you there? When you reach Palodes, take care to proclaim that the great god Pan is dead." Which Thamus did, and the news was greeted from shore with groans and laments.
Robert Graves (The Greek Myths) suggested that the Egyptian Thamus apparently misheard Thamus Pan-megas Tethnece ('the all-great Tammuz is dead') for 'Thamus, Great Pan is dead!' When Pausanias toured Greece about a century after Plutarch, however, he found Pan's shrines, sacred caves and sacred mountains still very much frequented.
Despite the declaration of his death, however, Pan is widely worshiped by Neopagans and Wiccans today, where he is considered a powerful God and an archetype of male virility and sexuality.
Pan makes a guest appearance in The Wind in the Willows.
In Roman mythology, Pan's counterpart Faunus was known as the father of Bona Dea (Fauna, his feminine side) and Latinus by the nymph Marica (who was also sometimes Faunus' mother).
Faunus was called Lupercus ("he who wards off the wolf") as the protector of cattle.
Faunus was a Latin king, son of Picus and Canens. He was then revered as the god Fatuus after his death, worshipped in a sacred forest outside what is now Tivoli. He was associated with wolf skins, wreaths and goblets.
His festival, celebrated on the anniversary of the founding of his temple, February 15, was called the Lupercalia. His priests (Luperci) wore goat-skins and hit onlookers with goat-skin belts. The Faunalia was another festival in Faunus' honor; it took place on December 5.
Pan is the root of the word panic, and is the root of panophobia, which means fear of everything. The link between panic, panophobia, and Pan is very interesting. Panic gets its name from the God Pan, who supposedly struck fear into the enemies of his subjects. Panophobia, is from the greek word pan, where the phobia suffix implies fear.

Panning, a horizontal motion in an image display or capture.Movie and television cameras pan by turning horizontally on a vertical axis, but the effect may be enhanced by adding other techniques, such as rails to move the whole camera platform.
In telecommunications, the term panning has the following meanings:
1. On the viewing screen of a display device, e.g., a computer monitor, horizontal shifting of the entire displayed image.
Note: The panning direction is at a right angle with respect to the scrolling direction.
2. In video technology, the use of a camera to scan a subject horizontally.
3. In antenna systems, successively changing the azimuth of a beam of radio-frequency energy over the elements of a given horizontal region, or the corresponding process in reception.

Pan and Scan
In television, the term pan and scan refers to reproducing wide-screen films on narrow TV screens by selectively moving from one part of the screen as the action moves or the speaker changes.
Early Technology
The term panning is derived from panorama, a word originally coined in 1787 by Robert Barker for the 18th century version of these applications, a machine that unrolled or unfolded a long horizontal painting to give the impression the scene was passing by. (Barker also invented the cyclorama in which a large painting encircles an audience.)

A personal area network (PAN) is a computer network used for communication among computer devices (including telephones and personal digital assistants) close to one person. The devices may or may not belong to the person in question. The reach of a PAN is typically a few meters. PANs can be used for communication among the personal devices themselves (intrapersonal communication), or for connecting to a higher level network and the Internet (an uplink).Personal area networks may be wired with computer buses such as USB and Firewire. Wireless PANs can also be made possible with network technologies such as IrDA and Bluetooth.
A Bluetooth PAN is also called a piconet, and is composed of up to 8 active devices in a master-slave relationship (up to 255 devices can be connected in 'parked' mode). The first Bluetooth device in the piconet is the master, and all other devices are slaves that communicate with the master. A piconet typically has a range of 10 meters, although ranges of up to 100 meters can be reached under ideal circumstances.

Steelpan (also known as Pan or Steel drum, and sometimes collectively with the musicians as a Steelband) is a musical instrument and a form of music originating in Trinidad.The pan is a chromatically pitched percussion intrument made from a 55-gallon drum of the type that stores oil, and is one of the newest musical instruments to be invented. Drum refers to the steel drum containers from which the pans are made; the instument is correctly called a pan (and pans are not, technically, drums).
The Pan Family
There are 10 instruments in the pan family:
- Spiderweb Lead
- Invader Lead
- Double Tenors
- Double Seconds
- Quadduets (an extension of Double Seconds)
- Quadrophonics
- Guitars (Triple or Double)
- Cellos
- Tenor Bass
- Six Bass
Construction
Pans are constructed by pounding the top of the oil drum into a bowl-like shape, known as "sinking" the drum. The drum is "cooked" over a fire and allowed to cool. Then the notes are laid out, shaped, grooved, and tuned with a variety of hammers and other tools. The note's size corresponds to the pitch - the larger the oval, the lower the tone.The size of the instrument varies from one pan to another. It may have almost all of the "skirt" of the steel drum cut off and around 30 soprano-range notes; or may be use full-length drum with 3 bass notes, in which case one person may play 6 such pans. The pans may either be painted or chromed.
Origins
The music developed from playing any metal objects that came to hand - from buckets and dustbin (trashcan) lids to paint cans and biscuit tins. The style became became popular in the late 1930s. The first record on a pan band in the press was in a report of the Carnival in the Trinidad Guardian dated Tuesday, February 6, 1940.Early bands were essentially rhythm bands. However during the 1940s discarded 55-gallon steel oil drums became the preferred type of pan and, perhaps noticing that constant drumming changed the tone of the pans, techniques were developed to tune them to enable melodies to be played. Elliot Mannette is credited as the first to use the oil drum in 1946. By the late 1940s the music had spread to neighbouring islands.
In 1951 the Trinidad All Steel Percussion Orchestra (TASPO) took the music to the Festival of Britain in the United Kingdom - pan music still features in the annual Notting Hill Carnival.
During the 1960s the tuner Anthony Williams developed a pan - the fourths and fifths - that has since become the standard design used today.
