![]() Sisyphus is a former king sentenced to an eternity of punishment within Tartarus for attempting to cheat death. In fact, the actual procession was much longer, as the entire city would take part in the grand celebration, but Phidias, the sculptor who created this magnificent sculptural design, had limited available space and had to be selective.Within the depths of Tartarus reside the most wretched of all the shades who linger for eternity within the Underworld, whose Lord and Master is especially unkind to those attempting to cheat death. Nevertheless, should you walk along the 160 meters of the Parthenon frieze, you will see only 149 human figures, a procession of everyday people, chariots, priests, and gods. I guess Aphrodite is scrutinizing the marching crowd to detect among the girls her former rivals and punish them accordingly using the help of her son! The scene should be taken from the Panathenaic procession, the grand celebration of Ancient Athens, which was held at the height of summer, around the 21st of July. © Tilemahos Efthimiadis / Flickr Aphrodite taking revenge through loveĪphrodite is represented, quite surprisingly fully dressed, seated with her hand on the shoulder of her son, Cupid, pointing to somewhere in front of them. Driven by fury, Ares punished his guard turning him into a rooster, cursed to wake up first while everyone is still asleep and announce the beginning of the new day. So when the following day Aphrodite and Ares went to bed, they got trapped and Hephaestus invited all the gods to come and see his unfaithful wife and her lover. He made a net and placed it above his bed. Hephaestus sought for revenge and designed a scheme so as to catch them red-handed. Facing the sight of the lustful couple, the Sun informed Hephaestus about the affair. One day his guard, though, fell asleep and the Sun rose in the sky while the lovers were still in bed. Just to be on the safe side, Ares had someone staking out their love nest in case Hephaestus returned home. While Hephaestus was absent working in his workshop, Aphrodite would keep their marital bed warm making love to Ares. ![]() ![]() Ares, on the other hand, was handsome and well-built, as he was the god of war and proved to be a far more suitable partner for the goddess of beauty. You see, Aphrodite was married to Hephaestus, the god of metallurgy and fire, who was considered to be the ugliest among the twelve Olympian gods. She might be pampering herself before visiting Ares, her secret lover. She seems to be preoccupied with her hairstyle. On her right hand, she holds a little mirror- now lost- while with her left hand she gently touches her hair. Aphrodite and her lover AresĪphrodite is bathing, half-naked. Her figure is imprinted in our mind emerging out of a shell and bathing carefree, wearing only a few drops of her favourite perfume, just like an ancient Marilyn Monroe. Representations of Aphrodite are usually encountered in statues and statuettes of various forms and sizes. Here below, you will discover two Aphrodite statuettes revealing two stories of love and lust.Īphrodite is known to be the goddess of beauty, love, desire, marriage and family. It is hard to know what an artist had in mind when creating an artwork but, still, we can’t resist the excitement of using our imagination and guesswork to find out more about the background of our favourite artefacts.

![]() John Hooks Korda says that the rationale that the military and the government came up with was this idea of a nuclear triad basically, that America needs to have nuclear capability from air, land and sea, with the ICBMs being the land portion.

And the origin of those dates back to the height of the Cold War in the 1950s and '60s, specifically the Soviet launch of the Sputnik satellite in 1957. The weapons here in Montana are intercontinental ballistic missiles or ICBMs. ![]() John Hooks Well, first we got to dig into how they got here in the first place. John Hooks That's because our listener question this week is why? Why are there so many nuclear missiles scattered over central Montana?Īustin Amestoy Okay, so where do we start?

The areas in black denote deactivated missile wings, the areas in red denote the active missile wings.Īustin Amestoy So I remember hearing a lot about these missile sites during that whole recent Chinese balloon debacle.

Board games: The classic board games we enjoyed as kids are a perennial favorite for 6-year-olds.Items like fidget toys and cuddly stuffies fall into this particular category. MESH toys: MESH stands for “mental, emotional, and social health,” says Byrne.Imaginative play: When they were 4 or 5, kids loved mimicking their parents, but as they get older, imaginative play dolls and figures provide them with the opportunity to create different scenarios and process information on their own terms.Arts and crafts: Kids can further bond with their peers by making things together, too, which is why DIY kits are particularly popular for this age group.“Kids are beginning to have their own personalities, so things that they can share within their peer group are often really great,” Byrne says. Collectible items: Now that 6-year-olds are interacting with their peers at school, collectibles allow them to bond even more over their shared hobby.Here are a few types of toys and gifts for 6-year-olds Byrne recommends: “Toys should give children new experiences, allow them to explore their world, and give them an opportunity to express themselves." “One of my little soapboxes has always been toys should serve three functions for kids, and it's especially true for kids who are 6 years old,” Byrne says. His biggest piece of advice is to keep in mind how kids will interact with the gift in question, especially when it comes to toys. We also turned to expert Chris Byrne-known as the Toy Guy-to share his top tips for finding gifts 6-year-olds are sure to love. ![]() So, what do you get a kid just starting to discover who they are and what they like?

Chances are, we are now seeing more choosing beggars on the Internet than, possibly, ever. ![]() Facebook Marketplace in my area has a couple for sale right now 500. One “influencer” had their agent reach out to a wedding photography and videography company in the hopes of getting their special day documented for social media in exchange for exposure, which actually means free service – but when they pointed out she didn’t have a Fuchs-level following, things got ugly. Tbf, there’s often parents of older children trying to get rid of their old play sets. Schemes like this one may sound like they are one in a million, but social media has bred an influencer culture where broadcasting “special moments” appear more important than the moment itself. Caught everywhere from text messages to Facebook Marketplace, here are some of our favorite beggars that really shouldnt be choosers. Before the proposal, multiple brand marketers had received a PDF of a pitch deck, “in the context of a potential sponsorship.” From technologically skilled Karens to neighbors that want you to get better wifi so they can continue to steal it at higher speeds, choosing beggars are way too choosy to blend in with a civilized society.

Yes, you can easily convert XPS files to PDF. This is the key difference between the two formats! Can you convert XPS to PDF? The big difference, however, is that Microsoft owns the XPS file format so most PDF readers - including the very popular Adobe Acrobat Reader - won’t be able to open it. It also is a self-contained document that looks the same on any system that can open it. In fact, it will look the same anywhere it’s opened.Īn XPS (XML Paper Specification) file is very similar to a PDF. If you create a PDF on your Windows tablet, it will look the same on your friend’s MacBook, for example. It is a terrific format for sharing documents on the internet because it is relatively compact and looks the same on any system that can read it. Starting with the clean visual design, large variety of management and viewing options, as well as the highly-intuitive interface, the application makes sure you have everything you need for working with PDFs.A PDF (Portable Document Format) is a document file containing text, hyperlinks, and sometimes even images.

Another cool thing about it is that you can better define search criteria with options to search in the document itself or custom locations, target a word or phrase, as well as configure more delicate settings like character casing, bookmarks, and comments. At the same time, the built-in search utility can be used to identify specific words or text in no time at all. Hidden by default in Adobe Acrobat Reader, a side panel can be used for easy page selection in case you want to quickly jump to a specific part of the PDF. For instance, if you can't constantly keep your eyes on the text (which isn't even recommended due to eye strain), you can set up an automatic reader to configure and have entire documents or just lines spoken to you out loud by a digital voice. To eliminate distractions and focus on the text shown on the screen, you can hide any unnecessary menus and switch to full screen as well as toggle multiple viewing modes.

One of the most popular and safest file types is the Portable Document Format (PDF) and you need specialized applications to be able to access PDF files, let alone create.
