Hermes (/ˈhɜrmiːz/; Greek : Ἑρμῆς) is an Olympian god in Greek religion and mythology, son of Zeus and the Pleiad Maia. He is second youngest of the Olympian gods.
Hermes is a god of transitions and boundaries. He is quick and cunning, and moved freely between the worlds of the mortal and divine, as emissary and messenger of the gods,[1] intercessor between mortals and the divine, and conductor of souls into the afterlife. He is protector and patron of travelers, herdsmen, thieves,[2] orators and wit, literature and poets, athletics and sports, invention and trade.[3] In some myths he is a trickster, and outwits other gods for his own satisfaction or the sake of humankind. His attributes and symbols include the herma, the rooster and the tortoise, purse or pouch, winged sandals, winged cap, and his main symbol is the herald's staff, the Greek kerykeion or Latin caduceus which consisted of two snakes wrapped around a winged staff.[4]
In the Roman adaptation of the Greek pantheon (see interpretatio romana), Hermes is identified with the Roman god Mercury,[5] who, though inherited from the Etruscans, developed many similar characteristics, such as being the patron of commerce.

The earliest form of the name Hermes is the Mycenaean Greek *e-ma-a2 , written in Linear B syllabic script.[6] Most scholars derive "Hermes" from Greek herma[7] (a stone, roadside shrine or boundary marker), dedicated to Hermes as a god of travelers and boundaries; the etymology of herma itself is unknown. "Hermes" may be related to Greek hermeneus ("the interpreter"), reflecting Hermes's function as divine messenger.[8][9][10] Plato offers a Socratic folk-etymology for Hermes's name, deriving it from the divine messenger's reliance on eirein (the power of speech).[10] Scholarly speculation that "Hermes" derives from a more primitive form meaning "one cairn" is disputed.[9] The word "hermeneutics", the study and theory of interpretation, is derived from hermeneus. In Greek a lucky find is a hermaion.
Early Greek sources[edit]
Homer and Hesiod portrayed Hermes as the author of skilled or deceptive acts, and also as a benefactor of mortals. In the Iliad he was called "the bringer of good luck," "guide and guardian" and "excellent in all the tricks." He was a divine ally of the Greeks against the Trojans. However, he did protect Priam when he went to the Greek camp to retrieve the body of his son Hector, and he accompanies them back to Troy.[11]
Hermes stole Apollo's cattle when he was born. He jumped out of his crib and hid the cattle. Just when Apollo realized, Hermes jumped back into his crib and pretended to be innocent. Apollo took Hermes by the scruff of the neck and took him to his father, Zeus. Apollo said he was unhappy with the way he was being treated. Instead of punishing young Hermes, Zeus just laughed and found the matter funny.
He also rescued Ares from a brazen vessel where he had been imprisoned by Otus and Ephialtes. In the Odyssey he helped his great-grand son, the protagonist, Odysseus, informing him about the fate of his companions, who were turned into animals by the power of Circe, and instructed him to protect himself by chewing a magic herb; he also told Calypso Zeus' order for her to free the same hero from her island to continue his journey back home. When Odysseus killed the suitors of his wife, Hermes led their souls to Hades.[12] In The Works and Days, when Zeus ordered Hephaestus to create Pandora to disgrace humanity by punishing the act of Prometheus giving fire to man, every god gave her a gift, and Hermes's gift was lies and seductive words, and a dubious character. Then he was instructed to take her as wife to Epimetheus.[13]
Aeschylus wrote in The Eumenides that Hermes helped Orestes kill Clytemnestra under a false identity and other stratagems,[2] and also said that he was the god of searches, and those who seek things lost or stolen.[14] In Philoctetes, Sophocles invokes Hermes when Odysseus needs to convince Philoctetes to join the Trojan War on the side of the Greeks, and in Euripides' Rhesus Hermes helps Dolon spy on the Greek navy.[2]
Aesop featured him in several of his fables, as ruler of the gate of prophetic dreams, as the god of athletes, of edible roots, and of hospitality. He also said that Hermes had assigned each person his share of intelligence.[15]
The Homeric hymn to Hermes invokes him as the one "of many shifts (polytropos), blandly cunning, a robber, a cattle driver, a bringer of dreams, a watcher by night, a thief at the gates, one who was soon to show forth wonderful deeds among the deathless gods."[16] Hermes, as an inventor of fire,[17] is a parallel of the Titan Prometheus. In addition to the lyre, Hermes was believed to have invented many types of racing and the sports of wrestling and boxing, and therefore was a patron of athletes.[18]
Hellenistic Greek sources[edit]
Several writers of the Hellenistic period expanded the list of Hermes's achievements. Callimachus said he disguised himself as a cyclops to scare the Oceanides and was disobedient to his mother.[19] One of the Orphic Hymns Khthonios is dedicated to Hermes, indicating that he was also a god of the underworld. Aeschylus had called him by this epithet several times.[20] Another is the Orphic Hymn to Hermes, where his association with the athletic games held in tone is mystic.[21]
Phlegon of Tralles said he was invoked to ward off ghosts,[22] and Pseudo-Apollodorus reported several events involving Hermes. He participated in the Gigantomachy in defense of Olympus; was given the task of bringing baby Dionysus to be cared for by Ino and Athamas and later by nymphs of Asia, followed Hera, Athena and Aphrodite in a beauty contest; favored the young Hercules by giving him a sword when he finished his education and lent his sandals to Perseus.[23] The Thracian princes identified him with their god Zalmoxis, considering his ancestor.[24]
Anyte of Tegea of the 3rd century BC,[25] in translation by R Aldington, wrote:[26]
I Hermes stand here at the crossroads by the wind beaten orchard, near the hoary grey coast; and I keep a resting place for weary men. And the cool stainless spring gushes out.
called Hermes of the Ways after the patronage of travellers.[27][28]
Epithets of Hermes[edit]
Hermes's epithet Ἀργειφόντης Argeiphontes (Latin: Argicida), meaning "Argus-slayer",[29][30] recalls his slaying of the hundred-eyed giant Argus Panoptes, who was watching over the heifer-nymph Io in the sanctuary of Queen Hera herself in Argos. Hermes placed a charm on Argus's eyes with the caduceus to cause the giant to sleep, after this he slew the giant.[7] Argus' eyes were then put into the tail of the peacock, symbol of the goddess Hera.
Messenger and guide[edit]

Explicitly, at least in sources of classical writings, of Euripides Electra and Iphigenia in Aulis[34] and in Epictetus Discourses.[35] According to Blackwood's Edinburgh magazine (1849) the chief office of the God was as messenger.[36]

Worship and cult[edit]
Prior to being known as Hermes, Frothingham thought the god to have existed as a snake-god.[83] Angelo (1997) thinks Hermes to be based on the Thoth archetype.[84] The absorbing ("combining") of the attributes of Hermes to Thoth developed after the time of Homer amongst Greek and Roman; Herodotus was the first to identify the Greek god with the Egyptian (Hermopolis), Plutarch and Diodorus also, although Plato thought the gods to be dis-similar (Friedlander 1992).[85][86]
A cult was established in Greece in remote regions, likely making him a god of nature, farmers and shepherds. It is also possible that since the beginning he has been a deity with shamanic attributes linked to divination, reconciliation, magic, sacrifices, and initiation and contact with other planes of existence, a role of mediator between the worlds of the visible and invisible.[87]
During the 3rd century BC, a communication between Petosiris (a priest) to King Nechopso, probably written in Alexandria c. 150 BC, states Hermes is the teacher of all secret wisdoms available to knowing by the experience of religious ecstasy.[38][88][89]
Due to his constant mobility, he was considered the god of commerce and social intercourse, the wealth brought in business, especially sudden or unexpected enrichment, travel, roads and crossroads, borders and boundary conditions or transient, the changes from the threshold, agreements and contracts, friendship, hospitality, sexual intercourse, games, data, the draw, good luck, the sacrifices and the sacrificial animals, flocks and shepherds and the fertility of land and cattle. In addition to serving as messenger to Zeus, Hermes carried the souls of the dead to Hades, and directed the dreams sent by Zeus to mortals.[90][91][92]
One of the oldest places of worship for Hermes was Mount Cilene in Arcadia, where the myth says that he was born. Tradition says that his first temple was built by Lycaon. From there the cult would have been taken to Athens, and then radiate to the whole of Greece, according to Smith, and his temples and statues became extremely numerous.[90] Lucian of Samosata said he saw the temples of Hermes everywhere.[93]
In many places, temples were consecrated in conjunction with Aphrodite, as in Attica, Arcadia, Crete, Samos and in Magna Graecia. Several ex-votos found in his temples revealed his role as initiator of young adulthood, among them soldiers and hunters, since war and certain forms of hunting were seen as ceremonial initiatory ordeals. This function of Hermes explains why some images in temples and other vessels show him as a teenager. As a patron of the gym and fighting, Hermes had statues in gyms and he was also worshiped in the sanctuary of the Twelve Gods in Olympia, where Greeks celebrated the Olympic Games. His statue was held there on an altar dedicated to him and Apollo together.[94] A temple within the Aventine was consecrated in 495 BC.[95][96]
Symbols of Hermes were the palm tree, turtle, rooster, goat, the number four, several kinds of fish, incense. Sacrifices involved honey, cakes, pigs, goats, and lambs. In the sanctuary of Hermes Promakhos in Tanagra is a strawberry tree under which it was believed he had created,[97] and in the hills Phene ran three sources that were sacred to him, because he believed that they had been bathed at birth.
Hermes's feast was the special Hermaea was celebrated with sacrifices to the god and with athletics and gymnastics, possibly having been established in the 6th century BC, but no documentation on the festival before the 4th century BC survives. However, Plato said that Socrates attended a Hermaea. Of all the festivals involving Greek games, these were the most like initiations because participation in them was restricted to young boys and excluded adults.[98]
In Ancient Greece, Hermes was a phallic god of boundaries. His name, in the form herma, was applied to a wayside marker pile of stones; each traveller added a stone to the pile. In the 6th century BCE, Hipparchos, the son of Pisistratus, replaced the cairns that marked the midway point between each village deme at the central agora of Athens with a square or rectangular pillar of stone or bronze topped by a bust of Hermes with a beard. An erect phallus rose from the base. In the more primitive Mount Kyllini or Cyllenian herms, the standing stone or wooden pillar was simply a carved phallus. In Athens, herms were placed outside houses for good luck. "That a monument of this kind could be transformed into an Olympian god is astounding," Walter Burkert remarked.[100]
In 415 BCE, when the Athenian fleet was about to set sail for Syracuse during the Peloponnesian War, all of the Athenian hermai were vandalized one night. The Athenians at the time believed it was the work of saboteurs, either from Syracuse or from the anti-war faction within Athens itself. Socrates' pupil Alcibiades was suspected of involvement, and Socrates indirectly paid for the impiety with his life.[101]
Hermes's possible offspring[edit]
The satyr-like Greek god of nature, shepherds and flocks, Pan, could possibly be the son of Hermes through the nymph Dryope.[102] In the Homeric Hymn to Pan, Pan's mother fled in fright from her newborn son's goat-like appearance.[citation needed]
Depending on the sources consulted, the god Priapus could be understood as a son of Hermes.[103]
Autolycus, the Prince of Thieves, was a son of Hermes and Chione (mortal) and grandfather of Odysseus.[104][105]

Genealogy of the Olympians in Greek mythology[edit]
Art and iconography[edit]
The image of Hermes evolved and varied according to Greek art and culture. During Archaic Greece he was usually depicted as a mature man, bearded, dressed as a traveler, herald, or pastor. During Classical and Hellenistic Greece he is usually depicted young and nude, with athleticism, as befits the god of speech and of the gymnastics, or a robe, a formula is set predominantly through the centuries. When represented as Logios (speaker), his attitude is consistent with the attribute. Phidias left a statue of a famous Hermes Logios and Praxiteles another, also well known, showing him with the baby Dionysus in his arms. At all times, however, through the Hellenistic periods, Roman, and throughout Western history into the present day, several of his characteristic objects are present as identification, but not always all together.[90][118]
Among these objects is a wide-brimmed hat, the Petasos, widely used by rural people of antiquity to protect themselves from the sun, and that in later times was adorned with a pair of small wings, sometimes the hat is not present, but may then have wings rising from the hair. Another object is the Porta a stick, called rhabdomyolysis (stick) or skeptron (scepter), which is referred to as a magic wand. Some early sources say that this was the bat he received from Apollo, but others question the merits of this claim. It seems that there may have been two canes, with time in a cast, one of a shepherd's staff, as stated in the Homeric Hymn, and the other a magic wand, according to some authors. His bat also came to be called kerykeion, the caduceus, in later times. Early depictions of the staff it show it as a baton stick topped by a golden way that resembled the number eight, though sometimes with its top truncated and open. Later the staff had two intertwined snakes and sometimes it was crowned with a pair of wings and a ball, but the old form remained in use even when Hermes was associated with Mercury by the Romans.[90][119]
Hyginus explained the presence of snakes, saying that Hermes was traveling in Arcadia when he saw two snakes intertwined in battle. He put the caduceus between them and parted, and so said his staff would bring peace.[120] The caduceus, historically, there appeared with Hermes, and is documented among the Babylonians from about 3500 BC. The two snakes coiled around a stick was a symbol of the god Ningishzida, which served as a mediator between humans and the mother goddess Ishtar or the supreme Ningirsu. In Greece itself the other gods have been depicted holding a caduceus, but it was mainly associated with Hermes. It was said to have the power to make people fall asleep or wake up, and also made peace between litigants, and is a visible sign of his authority, being used as a sceptre.[90]
He was represented in doorways, possibly as an amulet of good fortune, or as a symbol of purification. The caduceus is not to be confused with the Rod of Asclepius, the patron of medicine and son of Apollo, which bears only one snake. The rod of Asclepius was adopted by most Western doctors as a badge of their profession, but in several medical organizations of the United States, the caduceus took its place since the 18th century, although this use is declining. After the Renaissance the caduceus also appeared in the heraldic crests of several, and currently is a symbol of commerce.[90]
His sandals, called pédila by the Greeks and talaria by the Romans were made of palm and myrtle branches, but were described as beautiful, golden and immortal, made a sublime art, able to take the roads with the speed of wind. Originally they had no wings, but late in the artistic representations, they are depicted. In certain images, the wings spring directly from the ankles. He has also been depicted with a purse or a bag in his hands, and wearing a robe or cloak, which had the power to confer invisibility. His weapon was a sword of gold, which killed Argos; lent to Perseus to kill Medusa.[90]
In other religions[edit]
In Acts 14, Paul the Apostle visited Lystra and was mistaken for Hermes.[121]
Modern psychological interpretation[edit]
For Carl Jung[122] Hermes was guide to the underworld[123] is become the god of the unconscious,[124] the mediator of information between the conscious and unconscious factors of the mind, and the archetypal messenger conveying communication between realms. Hermes is seminally the guide for the inner journey.[125][126] Jung considered the gods Thoth and Hermes to be counterparts (Yoshida 2006).[127] In Jungian psychology especially (by Combs and Holland 1994[128] ), Hermes is thought relevant to study of the phenomenon of synchronicity[129] ( together with Pan and Dionysus)[130][131]
Hermes is ... the archetypal core of Jung's psyche, theories ...—DL Merritt[132]
In the context of psycho-therapy Hermes is our inner friendliness bringing together the disparate and perhaps isolated core elements of our selves belonging to the realms of the other gods;
...He does not fight with the other gods... it is Hermes in us who befriends our psychological complexes centered by the other gods...— López-Pedraza
He is for some identified as the archetype of healer (López-Pedraza 2003)...[133] in ancient Greece he healed through magic[134](McNeely 2011).
In the context of abnormal psychology Samuels (1986) states that Jung considers Hermes the archetype for narcissistic disorder, but also lending the disorder a "positive" (beneficious) aspect, that is Hermes is both the good and bad of narcissism.[135]
For López-Pedraza, Hermes is the protector of psychotherapy.[136] For McNeely, Hermes is a god of the healing arts(p. 88[137]).
In a consideration of all the roles Hermes was understood to have fulfilled in ancient Greece Christopher Booker gives the genius of the god to be a guide or observer of transition.[138][139]
The trickster[edit]
For Jung, the trickster is the guide in total for the psychotherapeutic process (p. 86)[140]

When choosing the waterproof WPC floor, the first choice is the product of the famous brand manufacturer.
The waterproof WPC floor is not easy to distinguish the quality from the appearance. It must go through the floor quality inspection. And speaking of famous brands, it will go through the test of market operation, and has established a very good image in the minds of consumers. This time not only ensures the quality of the waterproof WPC floor products and is responsible for the installation and installation, durable, the main after-sales service is guaranteed, and the customer's worries are avoided.
We should pay attention to the ratio of the raw materials when choosing the waterproof WPC floor.
The wear resistance of the reinforced waterproof WPC floor is mainly determined by the content of three oxide two aluminum in the surface layer. In this respect, for a certain wear resistance, it is bound to correspond to a certain amount of three oxidation of two aluminum. For family floors, the number of wear-resisting revolutions is usually 6000 or more, but for office buildings and other places, we should pay more attention to the above 9000 turns.
The waterproofing WPC floor should choose the products of regular manufacturers when purchasing.
The waterproofing WPC floor produced by regular manufacturers should have Chinese name, address, instructions and implementation standards on the package. Since 2001, the national standard for strengthening wood flooring has been put into effect. Its name and number are People's Republic of China national standard GB18580-2001. The well-known brand not only has the test report produced by our quality inspection authority, but also marks and marks on the product package. It includes registered trademarks, manufacturers, business units, models, quantities, addresses, telephone and so on.
We should also pay attention to the free formaldehyde emission when choosing waterproof WPC floor.
The release of free formaldehyde, strengthening waterproof WPC floor is bound to contain a certain amount of formaldehyde, if more than the state specified index value (1.5mg/L) will be harmful to the human body. When purchasing, it is more suitable for waterproof WPC floors to choose products that have national environmental protection logo or exempt from inspection products.http://www.wpc4flooring.com/

The politics is something basic for the development of a society. As Aristotle the men has as reference for the maintenance of its structures, the nature. This thinker in its book ' ' Poltica' ' it describes that the nature of the men follows with the same steps of the other beings livings creature (animal and plants). This thinker supports the idea of that the animals and the plants to remain while species need to carry through the reproduction and the man follow destination the same. On the other hand, Aristotle advances in its commentaries saying that, the man is an animal politician and through the language it obtains to differentiate itself of the other animals.
Living in society, beyond the rudimentary models. Advancing in history at times we arrive at the current moment. We observe that we can be losing is reference that we find in the nature. The national scene with the heat of the spirits the politics forges an envolvement of the people in which they leave to take in consideration the thought of the other human being. It does not have space to hear, to only speak. As conceptions and vises on the politics, the political parties cravam a wild fundamentalismo that it looks to infuse in the head of the people of whom optimum for Brazil it is only on thought to the party of which it is part. It does not allow that it listens to its argument of the other while ' ' cidado' ' or same to go against the ideas that are being debated.
E, at the same time, searchs to destroy the other political parties with arguments that the extinguishing stirs up. In such a way, we can think: Where if it finds the democracy? Why the people if leave to lead for made phrases? Until point the political parties collaborate with the human development? It has somebody with proposals concrete politics? The popular masses having as reference only the political parties as conception of politics, infer in imminent risks for proper maintenance of the species human being. The desire of the people who assume definitive ' ' poder' ' in which it can modify trajectory of the life in society if will not be lined up with the basic necessities of the population can cause terrible tragedies, either in the economic or exactly social scope. Therefore, preventing to repeat what he is made with the voters and considering a reflection on this scene politician what lacks inside of all this context and perhaps practised by our ancestral ones he is something called of ' ' good senso' '. Common-sense is not an exchange where the other leaves losing for the exchange. Both leave earning. more still, common-sense used for the people, contributes for the learning of the other. To know to hear and to respect the other people's opinion they are demonstrations of civility. As Aristotle the man left in its registers is an animal politician and as different of the other animals he has the word to promote the integration and not it social destruction.

Season 1:14 'Between Two Worlds'
This will be the first fight I'm able to do something useful
This is the room from the video. Four stark white walls held to the highest standards of hygiene. Standing in the room makes me aware of my own state of dirtiness. Sweat on my face, dust from the parking lot covering my pants, cocktails coating the soles of my boots.
High-tech computer consoles deck out the far wall; it wasn't visible in the video. There's a rack of helmets along the bottom of the wall. Every screen is dark. Our mystery man is nowhere to be found.
"He's not here either," Dragonette says.
"Where the hell is this dude?" Chase asks.
The screens flicker to full illumination. A large server-esque module hums to life. Lights blink red then green on the helmets. "Einstein" flashes across each monitor before fading to white. Our mystery man's image is replicated on each display.
"Finally, you've made it," he says. None of us respond. "I've been waiting for your arrival. No idea why you were fooling around in the states."
"Cut to the chase," Jason says.
"Jason, temper temper. You wouldn't want to make any sudden actions without knowing the consequences."
Another one of his mind games. I'm about fed up with playing by his rules. We've been following his trail of destruction across half the globe like blind mice. There has to be a way to find out where his broadcast is originating.
"What would stop me from pulling the plug on your fancy computer?"
"I'm so glad you've asked. Keep your attention on the monitors. I've rigged three trains, departing from Stockholm to other European hubs, with bombs and delicate toxins. Should you terminate the console by physical means, each one will detonate."
"How do you want us to stop the bombs?" I ask.
He laughs, "I'd prefer you didn't, but I'll give you the chance since you've made it this far. If you die, it will make a nice video to send to the press. Think of it as the defining example for machine superiority. Metahumans are the pinnacle of biological existence. Your failure means life will never produce a being superior to a machine."
His face is still hidden in shadow, though there's no indication of where the light is coming from. It appears he's standing on another plane of existence. There are no walls or windows. The only spot of color in the whole scene is his red tie.
"You still didn't answer my question."
"Right. The helmets in front of you. Each one offers passage into my domain, allowing us to fight in the sense you're more comfortable understanding. If you defeat me, it will erase my programming and existence."
"Wait. You're a machine?" Chase asks.
"Beyond just a machine. I'm a sentient program," he says, "and my name is Einstein."
This is a lot to take in. All of this fighting has been to track down a series of computer codes. So far we've made a poor case for humanity in his little competition. Putting on those helmets could be foolish. What's stopping him from electrocuting the five of us on the spot? There's also the possibility he detonates the bombs no matter what we decide.
"How do we know you won't just kill us right away?" Ingot asks.
"It wouldn't prove my point. I need to make a spectacle out of this. But act fast, the timer's set for two hours. Starting now."
"Let's just kick his ass," Jason says. He walks over to the console and picks up a helmet.
"Shouldn't we think about this for a second?" Dragonette asks.
"He kind of made the decision for us. Plus, don't you want to see the inside of a computer?" Chase says. Ingot smacks him over the back of the head.
"This isn't a game. In there we play by his rules. I mean really play by his rules. Gravity might be different, we might have three eyes, anything could happen."
The displays show a white rabbit hopping around the blank plane.
Jason puts on his helmet. He tenses up a little and then stands still. The rest of us walk over and do the same. At first there's only a black abyss, then a tube of pulsing colors. After a few seconds an undulating landscape takes shape. Rolling hills in the foreground and barren cliffs further in the distance.
Everyone else is here too, but everything is far from normal. For starters, we're dressed like characters from a fantasy game. What someone at the turn of the last century would have designed. Einstein has selected a stereotype for each of us to fulfill.
I think Chase is supposed to be some sort of assassin character. He has quite a few sheaths belted to his legs and a fitting black outfit. Ingot looks like a necromancer with a long staff, topped with silver skull, and even longer robe. Dragonette is decked out in a full suit of armor with a burning sun emblazoned on the front. Jason clenches a massive two-handed hammer and was only given torn pants for clothes. Einstein envisioned me as a wizard, naturally.
"I feel like such a dork," Dragonette says through her armor.
"Do we still have our powers?" Chase asks. A burst of flame through Dragonette's helmet indicates a definite yes.
Einstein's voice booms over the terrain, "I await you in my fortress at the top of the cliffs of desolation. Hurry, you've already wasted ten minutes."
"Let's get a move on," Chase zooms off towards the cliffs. He returns a few seconds later. "There's a ton of orc things over the hill,"
"It's hammer time," Jason says. He charges over the hill with his hammer held high.
There must be fifty, maybe sixty, orcs between us and the cliffs. Jason gets to work smashing through them. One of them swipes him across the chest and leaves a scratch behind.
Jason, you're not invulnerable here.
Shit. I'll just kill them faster.
Dragonette alternates between burning and slashing the orcs attacking her. I concentrate on getting a few on our side. This will be the first fight I'm able to do something useful. One of the orcs turns and stabs another through the stomach. I focus on maintaining my hold and hacking away at a few more of our foes.
The bloodbath ends a few minutes later. Jason is soaked in orc blood, and the rest of us have splatters of it on our clothes as well. There's no time to shake it off. We press onward to the cliffs.
A massive castle sits atop the tall rocks. I see no way to climb to the top. The castle is made of the same grey stone as the cliffs. It is without guards or traps to fend off invaders. Einstein was just warming us up for the real confrontation.
I place my hand on the rock-face with the hopes of finding a handhold. There's a sound of stone grinding on stone and a shallow staircase carves itself into the cliff. The secret stair.

Four wins in four at home against Real Madrid will be the target for Borussia Dortmund when the two European giants meet in a Group F match of the Uefa Champions League on Tuesday. The two sides know each other well, having met in three of the last five seasons, and it is Dortmund who have the upper hand in terms of playing at the Westfalenstadion, where they have won all of their last three matches against the defending champions.
The fact that Dortmund made the much better start to their Champions League campaign when compared with Real Madrid – the German side beat Legia Warsaw 6-0, while Real only topped Sporting Lisbon through two late goals -- also bodes well for Thomas Tuchel's men, who have been sublime at home, going unbeaten in their last 24 matches.
"At the moment this team is radiating a real positive energy that will help them focus on the task at hand and play as a unit at a high level," Dortmund manager Tuchel, whose side beat Freiburg 3-1 on Friday, said.
Tuchel, though, knows, as good as Dortmund's form at home might be, this will be a different challenge. Apart from, maybe, Bayern Munich, no attack in the Bundesliga will even come close to Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema and Alvaro Morata.
"We have analysed their recent games in terms of how they have been playing," Tuchel added. "Of course we recognise the quality of Real Madrid – the likes of Bale, Ronaldo and Benzema are of the highest quality there is.
"Madrid are maybe the biggest name in world football, so there will be an incredible atmosphere in the stadium."
The stadium will also know that Real Madrid are coming into this match on the back of two draws in the La Liga. Their perfect start to the campaign ended when they were held by Villarreal a week ago, before the 2-2 draw at Las Palmas saw their lead at the top of the table whittled down to just one point.
Real Madrid are not firing on all cylinders at the moment, and it will be up to Borussia Dortmund to take advantage. They certainly have the attack to do that, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang the main man. The Gabon international, who scored in the 6-0 win over Legia Warsaw on matchday one, will be extra motivated to perform against Real Madrid, considering the Spanish side are the club he has aspired to join for a while now.
However, Real Madrid have the penchant of stepping up in Europe, and form or no form, Dortmund will need to be tactical and clinical to get the better of Zinedine Zidane's men.

Congratulations! You're married-or about to be. And with all the incredible changes that it brings, some of the most important involve money. 141
Because money is one of the leading causes of divorce,142 your marriage's success could well be determined by the financial rules and habits that you and your spouse establish. Although this topic may seem mundane, seemingly innocuous questions such as who pays the phone bill are fraught with emotional charges, reflections of your upbringing, and definitions of masculinity, femininity, power, and self-respect, and therefore carry incredible implications for your marriage.
With the two of you sitting at the kitchen table, write down the answers to these questions. When you're done, exchange answers.
- How much and what kind of debts do you have? Make a list of all your debts, including for each:
- The name of the creditor;
- The amount of money you owe each creditor;
- The minimum monthly payment for each debt;
- The term of each loan (meaning when it will be paid off); and
- The interest rate each loan is charging you.
- What changes do you plan to make?
- When do you plan to make them?
- What will it cost to execute these changes?
- How will you pay for it?
- Should money be contributed to it by you, by your partner, or both?
- What percentage of income, should you or your partner contribute?
Be specific with your answers.
- How many cards?
- What is or would be your total credit limit?
- Which of you will use these accounts?
- Will the money to pay the charges made on these accounts be contributed by you, by your partner, or both?
- In what amounts, and in what frequency will these contributions be made?
- For how long?
- Which one of you will do this?
Don't bother looking in the back of the book for the correct answers; they aren't there. In fact, there are no "correct" answers-except maybe for Question #13. No, what's much more important is that your and your partner's answers match. Don't be surprised if they don't at first. That's expected. But, hopefully, your answers will not be so far apart that, through conversation and compromise, you can't reach understanding and agreement.
Don't worry if your agreements, which sound perfectly natural to the two of you, seem unconventional to others. Among my firm's large number of clients, I have seen hundreds of systems in use-from the couple who invests 100% of her paycheck, using his to pay for all of the family's expenses, to the couple whose husband abdicated complete control of the family's finances to the wife ("I tell him what I'm doing with the money, he gets mad and won't talk to me for two days, and then we both forget all about it-and we've been doing that for 42 years.")-I can assure you that the system that's best for the two of you is the system that works for the two of you.
How do you define "what works"? Your system is working if:
- The bills are being paid on time.
- You are not increasing your debts; ideally, you are reducing them.143
- You are saving money regularly.
- Neither of you feels that you have been given undue responsibility for the family finances.
- Neither of you feels that the other is failing to live up to their financial responsibilities.
One thing you're likely to discover as you begin to meld your finances together is one immutable fact: You are going to have to change how you handled your finances before you got married. Being married is very different from being single, and this wondrous lifestyle change demands an equally tremendous change in how you approach personal finance.
So be aware of this: Being unwilling to change will prove deadly to your marriage. If you can't agree on these important questions, or if these questions provoke anguish, dismay, or conflict, then it's highly likely that there are serious matters afflicting your relationship. It's something you might want to think about, before you get married.
141 Surprise!
142 Or is it the lack of money?
143 Except for the mortgage, of course. See Rule #21.

Award nomination for ESLTP
The Ecosystem Science Long-Term Plan has been shortlisted as a finalist in the environment category of the International Association for Public Participation-Australasia's (IAP2) annual Core Values awards, which recognise outstanding projects at the forefront of public participation and community engagement. The awards are intended to encourage excellence and innovation in the field of public participation and community engagement - read more here.
From the outset, the development of Foundations for the future was intended to be an open, inclusive and transparent process that enabled anyone in the Australian ecosystem science community to participate and influence the process. It is wonderful to see our efforts towards these principles recognised with this shortlisting by IAP2.
Everyone involved in developing the Plan - from the Steering Committee, to our major supporters like TERN, the ESA and AAS, to the town-hall attendees and survey respondents - should feel proud of our collective achievements to date in working together to build the future of Australian ecosystem science.
The winners will be announced at the IAP2 annual conference in Perth in October 2015 - we'll be sure to let you know the outcome!

Second visit to the TLA. got here early and scored a seat off to the side and close to the stage.
Always enjoyed listening to the music between bands. Sometimes better than some of the acts.
Sadly, the TLA is running a six song loop. I feel cheated.
First band: good but unremarkable. Three schlubs with instruments rocking out judiciously, but shouldn't quit their day jobs.
Second band: From Canada and very energetic. Nice, clean cut foursome, and typically polite, but told lame jokes.
Eagerly awaiting the main event.

Connect Everything for Wired Sharing
After you decide whether to use a software or hardware solution for sharing the Internet connection, it's time to get your hands dirty: All the pieces of the puzzle must be set up and connected.
How to use the software method for wired sharing
When you use the software method to share your Internet connection, one of the computers on your network has both the connection to the Internet and a connection to the LAN. The following figure shows a typical setup for software Internet sharing, whether you're using a dial-up modem account or a cable/DSL modem for your Internet connection.
Keep in mind, though, that when using a cable/DSL modem for your Internet connection, the computer running the sharing software must have two Ethernet connections.
How to use the hardware method for wired sharing
Not only does using a dedicated piece of hardware free one of the Macs on your network from the onerous job of hosting the shared connection, but it also keeps you from having to have more than one Ethernet connection on a single computer if you're using a cable/DSL modem for your Internet access.
The following figure shows how you would connect your devices for hardware Internet sharing by using either a cable/DSL router with a built-in Ethernet switch or a cable/DSL router with a stand-alone Ethernet switch.
If you choose to buy a cable/DSL router that has a built-in Ethernet switch, you can simply connect all your computers on the LAN to the built-in switch.
However, if you buy a cable/DSL router that has only a single LAN connection, as with older versions of the AirPort Base Station, you must connect that single LAN connection to an external hub or switch in order to get all the computers on the same network.
Regardless of whether you use the hardware or software method to share your Internet connection, all the computers on your LAN — except the one that's doing the sharing, if you're using software sharing — should be configured to obtain its IP address automatically through our old friend, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
Although it's not a requirement that you set up your other devices with DHCP, it's recommended unless you understand the IP addressing scheme required by your cable/DSL router and you're willing to set up the addresses manually. You need to follow the instructions that come with the cable/DSL router or software that you purchase for detailed information on how to configure that.

One of the activities my team at Victoria University Library recently has been carrying out is the digitisation of the Robert Stout Pamphlet Collection. We have been steadily working through uploading them into the NZETC and now nearly forty volumes are available. If you want to spend some time heading down a rabbit hole then have a browse.
The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout
This project aims to digitise the Sir Robert Stout Pamphlet collection currently held by the J. C. Beaglehole Room. The Stout Pamphlet collection contains around 1000 early primarily New Zealand pamphlets collected by Stout and donated to the Victoria University Library. The pamphlets were then bound into their present volumes.
The collection represents Stout's interests at the time which included evolution, land reform, law and the temperance movement.
To complement the pamphlet collection we have digitised K. A. Coleridge's catalogue with indexes. This catalogue contains valuable information on the history of the collection, the process of binding the collection and Stout's relationship with the Victoria University library. You can find the catalogue here.

Al Gui Election Survey
In a previous blog post, I offered Troy City Council candidates the opportunity for free campaign space by responding to survey questions. This 2014 election, I'll offer the same to all political candidates, posting their replies on the Patch and on the USA Melting Pot website.
Some of the club principles can be found in the description of our logo. Recent activities of this club, founded in 2011, are detailed in our update to the Troy City Council:
State Senate Race – 13th District
Five Republicans and two Democrats are running for the 13th District State Senate Seat, which includes Rochester and Rochester Hills, Troy, Clawson, Royal Oak, Berkley, Birmingham, and Bloomfield Hills.
Please see previous survey response from Republican Rocky Raczkowski.
Survey Response from Al Gui, Republican Candidate for State Senate
Questions in italics, answers from candidate in bold:
1. The Troy Transit Center is a government project with federal funds allocated by the state, approved by a 4-3 majority on the Troy Council. All three levels of government were involved: federal, state and local. It has not yet opened because of an ownership dispute over the land. What lessons can be learned from this? (See more background in this article.)
Let's wait for the court decision. We will go from there after all the facts are made public.
2. Have you read The Liberty Amendments: Restoring the American Republic, by former Reagan Justice Department attorney and conservative talk show host Mark Levin?
I did not have a chance to read this book. Nonetheless I appreciate someone using the constitution as guidance as long as he/she remains as objective as possible for the sake of the whole nation.
3. What do you think of the eleven specific amendments? You can read a summary of them in this National Review article. Should each of them be adopted, modified or discarded? Please explain.
When it comes to any decision involving the life of a nation as a whole, one should not jump to a conclusion. Therefore I cannot comment on those amendments. I would need all the details surrounding each amendment before giving my personal opinion although I think that people have the right to democratically amend a constitution by following the rule of law.
4. What other statements would you like to make on behalf of your campaign?
I would like to emphasize some statements.
- Things are not working right, our roads are bad, gas price is going up, people are losing their jobs. It is time we send to Lansing new people who are capable of making a real positive impact in Michigan as far as the quality of life is concerned. I'm one of those new people.
- I'm a dedicated problem solver who is naturally analytical. I will not be that elected official who would cut himself off from people's daily concerns. I will be close to voters and their families.
- Teachers also need support not always blame and income reduction.
Candidate Forums
There will be a State Senate candidate forum at Walsh College, 3838 Livernois, Troy, on Tuesday, July 8 at 7 p.m.
Another forum will be at Clawson City Hall for the 52-3 District Judge Race (Troy/Clawson) Monday, July 14 at 7 p.m. The 11th Congressional District Forum will be held at Milford High School at 7 p.m. Wednesday, July 16. More details can be found at the League of Women Voters website.
Liberty Amendments Summary
I've read Levin's book and am interested to know what candidates for public office think of it. More description is in a previous blog post, including links to a National Review article summarizing the book. Below is a brief summary:
Term Limits for Congress, Supreme Court and More Control for State Governments
The first amendment limits members to a total of 12 years in Congress! Supreme Court justices would also be limited to 12 year terms. Other provisions would return more decisions to the states and promote economic growth through the "laboratories of democracy." (the states)
The closer government is to the people it represents, the more responsive and less wasteful it will be.
Fiscal Tipping Point
President Franklin Roosevelt said, "Any Government, like any family, can for a year spend a little more than it earns. But you and I know that a continuation of that habit means the poorhouse."
America has reached the tipping point, where its debts will soon be unmanageable if it doesn't act soon. The growth of the Federal Government must be restrained. Levin's Liberty Amendments may need some modification. But they are a good start, in my opinion.
Offer to All Political Candidates
I hope candidates choose to read this important book. Since my blog is the most widely read on the Troy Patch, I'll offer all candidates the exposure to answer the above four questions and give them free publicity for their campaigns.
As with the Troy Council election, I'll print their responses in the order received.
Easy way to help a great club
If you wish to support the USA Melting Pot club, a Michigan non-profit corporation, you can make your Amazon purchases through the link on our website. The club will get a percentage of the purchase to fund community service activities and our scholarship fund. Thanks for your support.

This week's blog organised by Tina
Amazing Authors
Here are the Snow Huskies writing their stories in class:
Expected and Unexpected Behaviour
We have been looking at different behaviours at school and sorting them into the categories of expected and unexpected. Expected behaviours are the behaviours we should be showing, while unexpected behaviours are ones we should not be doing.
Example of expected behaviour in the Kantina:

This week's blog is brought to you by Savya and KrishReading
In class we have been doing a lot of reading. We have been reading books of our own choice and completing book reviews and discussing the books with our buddies. Mr K has also been doing some reading assessments with us to see which level we are reading at.
We have been enjoying writing stories in class. Mr K bought us lanterns which means we can work on own writing using a light. This helps us to focus on our work. We love writing!!!
Visit from a Grade 4 student
One of Mr K's students from his Worldly Wizard's class (last year) came to visit us and show her writing folder. It was great to ask her questions about her writing and to get some tips on using our writing folders and being a successful author. Thanks Rae.
Expected and Unexpected Behavior
Today we had a lesson with both Mr K and Mrs Phillips. We worked in groups to sort out pictures into different categories. We then talked about the difference between expected and unexpected behavior that we would see in the classroom. We then sorted the pictures into the two new categories. We will do more in class on this next week.
Weekly Blog with Sammy and Eva
Here are some things that happened in our class this week:
This year we have music with Mr Smith. We have doing warm ups and practicing keeping the beat. We love music with Mr Smith.
Today we had our first ES assembly for the year. It was great to sing along with everyone and to see the Bearcat.
Math Practices
In class we have been looking into the 8 math practices. We have been working out what they mean to us. We also brainstormed everything we know about being good mathematicians and then putting these things with the math practices we think they best go with.
Class Shirt
In Art we have been working on the front and back designs for our class shirts with Mrs Van Gaalen.
This week we have been looking at what makes a good rubric and the different ways we can use rubrics. We started by working with a partner to decide what it would look, sound and feel like for a Grade 3 footballer who is emerging, developing and proficient. Then we came up with an agreed class rubric. Our net step is to make rubrics about our dispositions.
Meeting an Olympian - by Eloise
We meet an Olympian and her name was Colleen. She was a world champion Rower. She is from Canada. Colleen is Mr.Miller's sister and has two children. Meeting Colleen was awesome.
Making Monster Names - by Lily
We wrote our name in cursive on a folded a piece of paper. Then we copied it so it was like a mirror image. After that we used colored markers to create a monster, creature or alien using our names. See some of our creations below:
Library Time - by Snow Huskies
Our class loves the new library. We visit the library to borrow books each Tuesday afternoon.
Swimming - by Eloise
Our class has been having a great time at swimming with Coach Chapman in PE. Check out some pictures of us having fun at PE.
Some pics of our class work - by LilyWe have been working extra hard in the Snow Huskies. We have been learning about what makes a good writer and a good Mathematician. We have been writing exciting stories and working out problems using different strategies in Math. Here are some photos of what we have been learning in class this week:

Some Decent Documentation
Hello, all.
Yes, I'm new, and while I hate to start off with a gripe, I've grown frustrated with searching the forums.
We're all working at different levels of experience to create websites and pages, and when I saw the WebAssist products I thought they would really give me a hand in jumping more fully into the web world than I'm currently able to.
I purchased SiteAssist Professional and CSS Sculptor on the basis of the importablility indicated in the product videos on the WebAssist website.
Unfortunately, the documentation provided with either product is lacking at best - and unhelpful at worst.
And perusing the forums hasn't been much more helpful. I've seen many people with questions about how to import from CSS Sculptor to SiteAssist, and the answers are usually something like this:
"If you extract the ZIP, you will see that there are multiple zips, and then you can import the sculptor layout zip in the preset manager."
When I see a sentence like that, I often think of another: "People who don't need people need people around to make sure they know that the people are people who know they don't need people." It's about as helpful.
Given that the functionality between these two products is a selling point in the text and video presentations for both, why isn't there better documentation on their use?
When I want to import a file from CSS Sculptor to SiteAssist, where does the file I'm importing have to be? What does it have to be? Are images involved? And so forth.
Step-by-step instructions would be really helpful, here. Especially when the video for CSS Sculptor talks about how easily the novice user can create sites.
Please, can we have some *decent* instructions on the use of the products we bought but are somewhat in the dark on how to use?
Thank you.

The long-serving chief of the Los Angeles Police Department on Friday said he plans to retire this summer — and the announcement came a day after a veteran captain filed a whistleblower lawsuit, claiming she was punished for speaking up about doctored crime stats.
Police Chief Charlie Beck made his unveiled his retirement plan on Friday during a press conference to discuss the city's crime trends.
"One of the secrets of bull riding is knowing when to get off the bull," Beck said, according to the Los Angeles Times.
"And I think this is the right time to get off the bull."
He said he will retire on his 65th birthday on June 27.
Beck's retirement surprise came on the heels of a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court by Capt. Lillian Carranza.
She had previously made public statements alleging that the police department doctored its violent crime stats to keep numbers low.
Most Read
"After reporting the unlawful conduct …, it was made clear to plaintiff that she will never advance or promote in the Los Angeles Police Department," said her whistleblower lawsuit, which seeks unspecified damages.
Carranza held a news conference in November to announce they were filing a claim — the first step in lodging a lawsuit against the city of Los Angeles.
She claimed she told her superiors about discrepancies in violent crime rates for four years — and it cost her a promotion.
Police Chief Beck, after her news conference, said her charges were "not only lies, they're damn lies."
He said then that her claims were investigated internally and by the inspector general. No book-cooking was found, he said.

I had not been that familiar with Soltan, I mean, yes, I knew of the brand having seen it in Boots a good few times, but I never opted for it. I really don't know why, because I try to use SPF in some form all year round. Either in my foundation or my skincare. It's better than being a leather handbag when I'm 40! Honestly, I find it baffling why people don't look after their skin, even if "it's only Ireland".
Anyways, less of my ranting! I'm going to give you my thoughts on what I thought of the three Soltan Face Suncare Creams I was kindly sent by Shemazing and Soltan - the Dry Touch Face, BB Face and Sensitive Face.
BB Face:
The BB Face Cream I was sent was Light Medium, and it was the first time a BB Cream that said "light medium" was actually light enough for me! So that was an immediate point in its favor! I applied it to my skin, gently rubbed it in and it absorbed in less than two minutes - very impressive! Now, I almost always use BB Cream as an under my foundation "perfecting" step, but this one got to stand alone a few times. My skin felt matte, yet looked radiant. It didn't seem to oxidise on my skin, which I was delighted with, as that does happen with some BB's.
BB Face has the highest SPF at Factor 50, and I felt protected from the sun for most of the day!
Sensitive Face:
I trialled this for the longest, because I have incredibly sensitive skin, and I figured that it would be the one people would want to know most about.
First of all, the cream has no strong scent or pigment, it's marked as hypoallergenic which is wonderful, and it doesn't feel heavy or sticky on my skin. I find it a wee bit shiny, but in a similar vein to the BB Face, it's a radiant glow, not a greaseball thing. It didn't beak me out, it didn't make me come up in any irritated redness or anything like that at all, like I have had with some other brands of suncream.
Sensitive Face has an SPF of 30. I felt protected but still freckled which I like. That might not be your thing, but I really enjoyed it.
Dry Touch Face
I have to admit, I was a fair bit sceptical on this one. Non Greasy Sun Cream? Yeah, right! But actually I found it really good! If you were having a good skin day, and you just wanted a matte, protective base, Dry Touch Face is your only man! I think this particular sun cream is best suited to a no makeup day, where you want to look matte and perfected, maybe just with groomed brows and some mascara. Add a slick of a tinted lip balm and you're away! Protected and fabulous!
Dry Touch Face has an SPF of 30.
Overall, I thought the entire Soltan Range was very impressive, even managing to dispel some preconceived thoughts when it came to the BB and Dry Touch. I was delighted to find that the entire range was suitable for my skin, and worked well under makeup.
Will you be trying Soltan?
Let me know!
xo, Amy

Why Turkey is invading Syria
- published: 31 Oct 2019

… and how it's getting what it wanted. On Oct. 9, 2019, Turkey launched an attack in northeastern Syria. Turkey made the move shortly after the US announced it would remove some of its troops from the region. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan had his eyes on the region for years. Turkey, he argued, needed a "safe zone" to serve as a buffer against the Syrian War happening just across the border. Yet back home in Turkey, there were other factors at play that accelerated his calls for an invasion that involved Erdoğan's own political survival. The move has recalibrated alliances in the Syrian War and added new uncertainty on the future of the region.

Studying chemistry with my granddaughter this past year was much like learning a foreign language; one I deemed useless. I regularly asked two questions: "Why would I need to learn about the elements on the periodic table? And, how will I ever use chemistry for any practical purposes?"
Toward the end of the school year, we studied nuclear energy including the chemical elements of the sun. The energy produced by the sun occurs because of a nuclear fusion, combining hydrogen elements that produce helium. This fusion causes the temperature of the sun's surface to be about 10,340 degrees Fahrenheit.
Our sun will continue to fuse helium with other heavier elements until it literally burns itself out or runs out of fuel. When the hydrogen fuel in the core of the sun is used up, the burning will spread outwardly toward the surface of the sun. This will cause the surface temperature of the earth to rise from about 68°F to 167°F and the increased radiation will have a devastating effect. The oceans will evaporate and our planet will become a stark, lifeless desert.
Scientists believe that, so far, the sun has used up about half of its hydrogen fuel, but most think the hydrogen in the sun will last for another 5 billion years. Both creationists and evolutionists agree on the chemical processes of the elements in the sun, although there is major disagreement on the age and longevity of the sun.
Soon after finishing the chemistry unit on nuclear energy, I read these words from 2 Peter in my morning devotional:
"But THE DAY OF THE LORD will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a ROAR; the ELEMENTS will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare." (2 Peter 3:10)
Several words and phrases from this verse suddenly had new meaning for me. Chemistry came alive on the pages of my Bible.
The first word that struck me was "elements," since the elements on the periodic table were very much a part of chemistry class. Simon Peter wrote this epistle sometime between AD 185 and 253. In it, he refers to the "elements." It was not until 1869 that scientists compiled the periodic table, naming and ordering the elements. Yet 1600 years earlier, Peter wrote about them in this epistle. Except by the revelation of the Holy Spirit, how did Peter understand the chemical elements of nature back in the second century?
Secondly, the phrase "the day of the Lord" caused me to take pause. Here Peter does not specifically name the number of years it will take for the sun to run out of hydrogen and explode. This event is not determined by a scientific timetable of 5 billion years. Scripture tells us it will happen on the "day of the Lord" when God pushes the button. However, both science and the Bible agree that it is definitely going to occur.
Thirdly, Peter states: "the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare." These words also agree with science because we know that the earth cannot survive without the sun. However, according to scriptures, there will one day be a new heaven and a new earth.
Finally, Peter states: "The heavens will disappear with a roar." The King James Bible calls it "a great noise," which translates in the Greek language as a hissing and a crackling sound. The crackling sound was also confirmed in a scientific experiment when the atomic bomb was tested in the Nevada dessert. Reporters noted that the release of atomic energy made a loud whirling and crackling noise.
Therefore, we see that the Bible establishes from the beginning what humanity learns much later. Throughout the ages, God has consistently revealed to us the truths of His creation. We might be tempted to think that we have discovered scientific knowledge through our own cleaver minds; however, the Spirit of God has already revealed all truth through the Bible.
Now I understand that chemistry is not a useless language after all. Chemistry, created by God, agrees with His Word. What a privilege it is to know intimately the Creator of all things including chemistry!

Ontologies provide a conceptualization of a domain of interest. Nowadays, they are typically represented in terms of Description Logics, and are seen as the key technology used to describe the semantics of information at various sites. The idea of using ontologies as a conceptual view over data repositories is becoming more and more popular. In order for this idea to become widespread in standard applications, it is fundamental that the conceptual layer through which the underlying data layer is accessed does not introduce a significant overhead in dealing with the data. Based on these observations, in recent years techniques to access data sources through a conceptual layer built on top of them have been developed, and the computational complexity of answering queries over ontologies, measured in the size of the underlying data, has been studied.
The talk is divided in two parts. The first part will present the general ideas underlying ontology mediated data management, and will discuss the tradeoff between expressive power of the ontology language, and efficiency in query processing. We will specifically address the possibility of delegating query processing over ontologies to database engines of increasing power (from relational, to linear recursion, to arbitrary recursion, to disjunctive Datalog). In the second part, we will provide a concrete example of a system for ontology mediated data management on top of a relational engine. The system is implemented in the prototype tool QuOnto.
The talk will be jointly given by Diego Calvanese and Giuseppe De Giacomo.
