Myth of the Minotaur: The Making of a Monster
Getting your audio player ready... One of the most intriguing myths of ancient Greece is that of the Minotaur on the island of Crete, the bull-headed human-animal hybrid of Greek mythology. The story of the bestial Minotaur trapped in a labyrinth created for him by his horrified stepfather, King Minos of Crete, dining on human flesh in his underground prison, has enthralled for generations.
The Takenouchi Manuscripts and the Story of Humanity Never Told
The Takenouchi manuscripts are a set of mysterious documents that were rewritten by a man named Takenouchino Matori 1,500 years ago in a mixture of Japanese and Chinese characters, transcribed from even older texts. According to legend, the original documents were written in divine characters many millennia ago by ‘the gods. The unusual texts tell a story of humanity in a way that has never been told before, starting from the beginning of creation up until the emergence of Christianity.
Human Origins According to Ancient Greek Mythology
Every culture has an explanation about how we got here. The ancient Greeks were no different. The dramatic story of the origins of humanity in Greek mythology involves love, pain, and a hefty dose of violent fighting between divine family members. Variations of the creation story of Greek mythology can be found within many ancient texts. The most complete example is Theogony by the Greek poet Hesiod, who lived around the 8th century BC.

The Rise Of Retail: Accessing Private Markets
Over the past decade, Canada has witnessed a notable shift in capital markets as more companies opt to stay private longer. There has also been an increase in going private transactions involving private equity buyers. These trends reflect the appeal of private fundraising avenues where companies can maintain greater control and avoid the scrutiny and costs associated with operating in the public markets.

Ancient Samos and the Museum of Mysterious Artifacts
The island of Samos in Greece is an island about 1.5 km from the shores of Turkey, which has a long history dating back to 4,000 BC. The name ‘Samos’ is thought to have Phoenician origin and according to the ancient Greek geographer Strabo, the name means ‘altitude near the coast’, probably because of the high mountains on the island. Samos was a very important island in ancient times, and the historian Herodotus referred to it as the best city among both the Greeks and the ‘Barbarians’.

Black: Overzealous separation of church and state obscures country's religious foundation
John Black July 28, 2024 at 4:38 AM·2 min read This will respond to, and disagree with, the editorial published recently written by a local school administrator who opposes religious texts in the public schools. The author of the previous editorial is a person I respect. However, the reason conservative legislators pass bills regarding religious education in schools is a larger purpose than academics.

Formation of the Methyl Cation by Photochemistry in a Protoplanetary Disk - Nature
|
Abstract Forty years ago it was proposed that gas phase organic chemistry in the interstellar medium can be initiated by the methyl cation CH3+ (1–3), but hitherto it has not been observed outside the Solar System (4, 5). Alternative routes involving processes on grain surfaces have been invoked (6, 7). Here we report JWST observations of {{\rm{CH}}}_{3}^{+} in a protoplanetary disk in the Orion star forming region. We find that gas-phase organic chemistry is activated by UV irradiation.

Unraveling the Enigma of Aramu Muru, The Mysterious Gate of the Gods
johnblack In 1996, Jose Luis Delgado Mamani, a local tour guide in Peru, discovered an ancient archaeological site carved into Hayu Marca Mountain near Lake Titicaca, in the Andes Mountains of Peru, near the border with Bolivia. It became known as Aramu Muru, or, the Puerta de Hayu Marca (‘The Gate of the Gods’). It is one of the most enigmatic and controversial archaeological sites in South America.
Schools do better with the holistic approach to teaching and learning
As American education continues to evolve, we see more and more schools continuing to adopt a holistic approach to teaching and learning. It’s certainly not a new philosophy. Nearly a century ago, it gained favor as schools recognized that their role in a child’s life needed to extend beyond a mere focus on academics, to also address their socio-emotional needs. Private schools seemed to adapt better to this new reality, perhaps because their lack of bureaucracy allowed them to be nimbler.
Cultural diversity in our schools begins with diversity of thought
Cultural diversity has been on the rise in American classrooms for a long time. A decade ago, public schools reached a minority-majority milestone with Latino, African-American, Asian students surpassing the number of white students. In a few decades, the U.S. Census predicts that over half of the nation’s population will be people of color. These trends deserve a closer look at how diversity is handled — or mishandled — in our classrooms.
Argos Panoptes - The All-Seeing Giant of Greek Mythology
johnblack Argos Panoptes was one of the primordial giants of Greek mythology. His epithet Panoptes means “the one who is all-seeing” and reminds us of the symbol of the all-seeing eye of God. Although Panoptes was a moniker that was also used for the god Zeus, the eyes of Argos Panoptes were not enough to protect him from the meddling gods and his untimely demise at the hands of Hermes the the Argus-slayer.

Representative Fishel deserves an apology
Rep. John Black It is amazing to me that, apparently in the minds of some people, because a person decides to run for public office they become fair game for character attack. The recent opinion in the News-Leader blasting Representative Craig Fishel’s Sunshine Law request to the Springfield Public School District is an unfortunate example.
5 Small Group Hacks for Stronger Meetings
How many times have you heard your grandparents or parents tell you about how they walked “up the hill, through the snow” to elementary school and back home? I always enjoyed hearing those stories and then teasing my father about how old he was, when he finished. Although very few enjoy navigating difficult seasons, we love enhancing stories to magnify the level of difficulty we have overcome.To many, leadership is like walking up a hill, in a blizzard, to and from school.
[Review] DIGGING TO DEATH (2021)
Saddled with a new mortgage that he can barely afford, recently divorced dad David Vanowen (Ford Austin) decides he can save some money by installing his septic system. He’s not a licensed contractor or even a construction worker — he’s a computer programmer — but the always optimistic Vanowen tells himself, how hard can it be, right? He’s barely broken ground, though, when he discovers a wooden cover to a hole, inside of which is a garbage bag full of money and a dead body.

Desperate to make cash and too squeamish about selling his blood for money, Jim (Parris Bates) decides to take a job housesitting. It sounds like a pretty sweet gig: $100 a night, and all he has to do is make sure nobody breaks in and damages the place until the owner, Eunice (Rebecca Kimble), returns. If he can also find a way to rid the house of the gloomy spook that’s terrorizing Eunice, so much the better.

These People Could Be President. Part Three: 'Red' Bernie – WOBH | Media
Too Right A regular column by John Black The Black Sheep Blog Rightminds Calling a politician ‘red’ is often a smear, an attempt to muddy the boundary between well-meaning lefty and full on commie crank. But in Bernie Sanders’s case the descriptor is accurate. He openly calls himself a ‘Democratic Socialist’ – a euphemistic phrase in current vogue that slyly reconciles the irreconcilable. A truly socialist state can never allow the propertied classes political representation.

Back here, amongst the people who actually have to pay for the 3.8 billion dollars spent over four years (1.9 of it on ‘mental health’), support was more tepid.
