Mary Hamilton Frye, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons Bellerophon Gamesĭo you want to test your knowledge about Bellerophon and other Greek heroes? Play this game: He married Philonoe, the daughter of King Iobates of Lycia, and together they had three children: Isander, Hippolochus, and Laodamia. His romantic life, however, had its moments of solace. When he spurned her advances, she falsely accused him of trying to seduce her, leading to further complications in his life. There, he caught the eye of the king’s wife, Stheneboea (or Anteia in some versions). ![]() Early on, he found himself exiled from his homeland, a consequence of a grave mistake he accidentally killed his brother.ĭuring his exile, he sought refuge in the court of King Proetus of Tiryns. Yet, like many heroes of yore, his life was not without its fair share of challenges. Bellerophon’s Family and Relationshipsīorn to Glaucus, The Tragic Sea God, the ruler of Corinth, and Eurymede, Bellerophon was of noble lineage. ![]() Thus, he’s sometimes referred to as the “Pegasus rider” or “he who commands Pegasus, the winged horse.” These titles, while straightforward, capture the essence of his most celebrated achievement. ![]() His epithets, though not as numerous as some other heroes, often revolve around his most famous feat: taming the winged horse, Pegasus. In the Roman realm, he retained his Greek name, a testament to his fame and the universality of his tales. Some scholars believe it means “slayer of Belleros,” suggesting a forgotten myth or an unknown adversary. William Neuheisel from DC, US, CC BY 2.0, via Wikimedia Commonsīellerophon, often referred to as Bellerophontes in some tales, has a name that’s shrouded in mystery. ![]() 3/21/2024 0 Comments Metamorphosis manga read![]() Ambas navegan en un tipo muy concreto de soledad y encuentran en la otra un tipo de alivio que no quieren dejar ir. Hay una calidez tan sincera entre Yuki Ichinoi (una septuagenaria que se aficiona al BL*) y Urara Sayama (una adolescente sin muchas habilidades sociales que trabaja en una librería) que sólo quieres abrazarlas desde el primer momento en el que aparecen.Īmbas se necesitan la una a la otra, aunque no lo saben. 4/5 stars and my highest recommendation for anyone looking for a manga with a more subtle touch.Īhora que ya no se puede viajar, quiero quedarme a vivir dentro de las páginas de este manga. I'm highly curious to see where this series goes. It's quiet frequently very funny, but mostly its a quiet story it can go pages with little in terms of dialogue, only for moments of warmth when these two connect again. one which is honestly executed very close perfection. Instead what we get is a story of friendship and loneliness. ![]() It's present throughout, but it is not really the focus if that makes sense. It's used more as a way to give a niche for these two to connect with that is not majorly mainstream, thus having something that it's not as easy to just talk to anyone about. Those coming for actual BL material will probably be disappointed. Honestly that these two should connect feels far more natural than what I would have believed possible given the plot-line. She's lived a fairly involved life already, but having lost her spouse and her daughter having moved out of the country, she feels alone. In contrast Ichinoi is full of life experiences. She's still figuring out who she is and how to interact. She's lost in her comics, has trouble communicating with people outside of her work place (and only there is it okay because she's surround by things she understands). Urara is your classic awkward nerdy teen. Instead we are lead to sympathize with both of them due to their loneliness. There's humor, but neither character is mocked for who they are. That said, the artist/writer does not treat this like a joke. ![]() I mean the plot is essentially the friendship between a teenage girl and a 75 year old woman formed over a love of BL comics. A helpful employee, Urara, helps her order it and a friendship is formed.Īgain, even typing up that description, I feel this shouldn't work, or that it should be a colossal joke. She seeks out the second and third volumes only to discover that the third is out of stock. Despite her initial surprise, she finds she loves the story though, and is disappointed that it ends with a "to be continued." (It is after all only volume one in the series). She picks up one (along with the cookbook she was initially seeking) only to discover that it is a BL (or boy's love) manga. She's rather charmed by some of the newer art styles and a bit nostalgic as she remembers reading some of it back in the 60s and 70s. She looks for the cooking section and discovers the manga section instead. One day on a trip to town, she goes inside a bookstore on a whim. Plot: Ichinoi is a 75 five year old widow who teaches calligraphy. ![]() It actually somehow manages to not only pull it off, but does so with a quiet grace. This is one of those manga that honestly, based solely on description I would think could not work. She described it as "the most wholesome slice-of-life series I've ever read" and after reading it. So, this was one a friend of mine kept on telling me I needed to read. ![]() 3/21/2024 0 Comments Girls gone wild nude selfie![]() Don't bring it here - As we are not a court of law, and we are not here to bring justice.

Regular oil changes keep your engine running smoothly by assisting in cooling, lubricating, cleaning an engine’s moving parts, and improving gas consumption to extend the life of your engine. After spending thousands of kilometers keeping your engine running right, your used oil degrades leaving harmful deposits, and over time can form sludge, which decreases your engine’s performance and lifespan. It keeps all of its parts moving smoothly, absorbs excess heat, and contains additives that help clean up nasty, harmful chemicals. Oil is the lifeblood of your car’s engine. What happens if I go too long between oil changes? Regular oil changes are the best way to prevent contamination and water build-up in your engine.

3/20/2024 0 Comments Art birles text messages![]() ![]() What context can be given is provided but some slides didn't provide any at all. ![]() ![]() Misspellings are in here as they were shown in the report. Not every single message from the PowerPoint is in here, though the full presentation is below. All messages here are as they were reproduced in the Pepper Hamilton presentation. I've taken the report and broken it down into different types of communication, starting with how Briles would talk with his athletic director and his lieutenants about keeping players on the field. But what it shows still matters because it offers an unedited glimpse into how a football coach, an athletic director, a vice president, and even general counsel talked about the various ways that Baylor kept football players away from consequences no matter what. What Defector is publishing is about one-third of the presentation Pepper Hamilton showed to Baylor leadership, and none of the pages made public discuss sexual assault. A few details are hard to make out in the transition of turning a PowerPoint presentation into a printed-out document. Names have been redacted, as well as about 88 pages of the 143-page presentation. What was entered into the court record was still incomplete. That PowerPoint presentation became an exhibit during Baylor's recent trial, making it a public record. It sounded like there was no paper trail to be had at all except, it turns out, as with many oral reports, this one included a PowerPoint presentation. Except Baylor didn't release a detailed report to the public and, when pressed, it said that was because leadership never had Pepper Hamilton write a document-instead they received all the information orally. This is now part and parcel for universities or large organizations in the midst of a public scandal: hire an outside law firm, have those lawyers investigate and generate a report, then release a detailed report to the public and promise it won't happen again. In 2015, Baylor hired the law firm Pepper Hamilton to investigate how the university handled reports of sexual assault. And, by going to trial, Lozano's lawsuit turned up and made public a document that had remained unpublished for years-what outside lawyers actually uncovered at Baylor. Now the Lozano suit is resolved too a jury awarded her $270,000 in damages. ![]() Another lawsuit, filed by 15 women, settled a few months ago. What happened at Baylor was soon followed by the uncovering of a sytstem in which USA Gymnastics protected coaches who sexually abused, the MeToo movement, the reporting of rampant sexual abuse by a doctor at Ohio State, the reporting of rampant sexual abuse by a doctor at Michigan, and USC paying out more than $1 billion to settle with more than 700 people who said they had been sexually abused by a university gynecologist.īut Baylor lingered, in part because multiple civil lawsuits filed against the university went on for years. Within a matter of years, Briles would be ousted, as well as athletic director Ian McCaw and university president Ken Starr (yes, that Ken Starr). In 2015, Baylor football was a rising power on the college football scene and its head coach, Art Briles, both charmed with his Texas drawl and, most importantly, won. Lozano's story was just one of many that emerged from Baylor at the time in which women said they had been assaulted or raped and reported it to university authorities, but very little or nothing happened. Lozano sued two years later in 2016, saying that negligence violated her rights under Title IX, the federal law that is supposed to protect all students from discrimination on the basis of their sex. Specifically, former student Dolores Lozano said in her lawsuit that when she was a Baylor student, she was assaulted by her then-boyfriend, football player Devin Chafin, and she reported what happened, but the university mishandled it. A civil jury in Waco, Texas, recently found Baylor University negligent in how it handled reports of domestic violence involving a football player back in 2014. ![]() ![]() Have suggestions for additional titles to add to this list? We must not stand by in silence as lives continue to be unnecessarily taken. It is our hope that this list will grow and serve as an important resource going forward for educators, parents, and readers of all ages. In solidarity, the GNCRT is collaborating with our colleagues at the BCALA on this reading list that draws attention to the Black experiences of the past and present to demand a new future for our Black friends and neighbors. The United States has a long history of violence against the Black community and white supremacy is laid into the foundation of our societal contract. The Graphic Novels and Comics Round Table of the American Library Association affirms the ALA Executive Board's statement and stands in support of not only the Black Caucus of the American Library Association, but also the Black community at large. From the first appearance of Captain America in March 1941 punching the face of Hitler, to recent titles like I am Alfonso Jones and MARCH - titles tackling police brutality, #BlackLivesMatter, and the life story of Congressman John Lewis - comic books have been and continue to be vitally important avenues to visually tell our stories, to share our histories, and to show experiences and multiple perspectives while engaging both sides of our brain. They are both a reflection and a barometer of our times.

3/20/2024 0 Comments First time hotwife texts![]() ![]() It took an hour and half after this Court vacated the stay before Alabama called off the execution. As a result, Smith's arms were strapped over his head and he watched as his executioners repeatedly stabbed needles into his hands, arms, and collarbone, trying to access his veins. It instead vacated a stay of execution without explanation, over three noted dissents.

In November 2022, Alabama botched Smith's execution by lethal injection. Alabama tried and failed to execute him before. Smith is a surprising candidate to test this novel method. Once the nitrogen is flowing into the mask, his executioners will not intervene and will not remove the mask, even if Smith vomits into it and chokes on his own vomit. He will wear a nitrogen-supplying, off-the-rack mask for which the State has not fitted him or even tried on him. What Smith knows is that he will be strapped to a gurney. ![]() The details are hazy because Alabama released its heavily redacted protocol under five months ago.
