Did the Amazons really exist? - Adrienne Mayor - Duration: 5:06.
Since the time of Homer,
ancient stories told of fierce warriors dwelling beyond the Mediterranean world,
striking fear into the mightiest empires of antiquity.
Their exploits were recounted by many epic poets.
They fought in the legendary Trojan War and their grand army invaded Athens.
Jason and the Argonauts passed by their shores,
barely avoiding their deadly arrows.
These formidable fighters faced off against the greatest champions of myth:
Heracles,
Theseus,
and Achilles.
And every single one of these warriors was a woman.
The war-loving Amazons, "the equals of men" in courage and skill,
were familiar to everyone in ancient Greece.
Amazon battle scenes decorated the Parthenon on the Athenian Acropolis;
paintings and statues of Amazons adorned temples and public spaces.
Little girls played with Amazon dolls,
and Amazons were a favorite subject on Greek vase paintings.
In Greek art and literature,
they were depicted as daring and desirable,
but also terrifying and deadly,
and doomed to die at the hands of Greek heroes.
Were Amazons merely figures of myth, or something more?
It was long assumed that they were imaginary,
like the cyclops and centaurs.
But curiously enough, stories from ancient Egypt,
Persia,
the Middle East,
Central Asia,
India,
and China
also featured Amazon-like warrior women.
And Amazons were described in ancient historical accounts, not just myths.
Writers like Herodotus, Plato, and Strabo never doubted their existence.
So who were the real women warriors known as Amazons?
Ancient historians located the Amazon homeland in Scythia,
the vast territory stretching from
the Black Sea across the steppes of Central Asia.
This immense region was populated by nomadic tribes
whose lives centered on horses,
archery,
and warfare.
Their culture flourished for about 1,000 years beginning around 800 BC.
Feared by Greeks, Persians, and the Chinese, the Scythians left
no written records. But we can find clues in how
their neighbors described them, as well as in archaeology.
Scythians' ancestors were the first to ride horses
and they invented the recurve bow.
And, because a female mounted archer could be as fast and as deadly as a male,
all children were trained to ride and shoot.
Women hunted and fought alongside men, using the same weapons.
The harsh landscape and their nomadic lifestyle
created its own form of equality.
This amazed the ancient Greeks, whose women led restricted indoor lives.
The earliest stories of the Scythians, and Amazons,
may have been exaggerated rumors.
But as the Greeks began to trade around the Black Sea and further east,
their portrayals became more realistic.
Early depictions of Amazons showed them with Greek weapons and armor.
But in later representations,
they wielded bows and battle-axes,
rode horses,
and wore pointed caps and patterned trousers
characteristic of steppe nomads.
Until recently, no one was sure how strong the links were
between Scythians and the Amazons of Greek myth.
But recent archaeological discoveries have provided ample evidence.
More than 1,000 ancient Scythian kurgans, or burial mounds, have been excavated,
containing skeletons and weapons.
Archaeologists had previously assumed
that weapons could only belong to male warriors.
But modern DNA analysis so far
has revealed that about 300 skeletons buried with weapons
belong to females ranging in age from 10 to 45,
and more are being found every year.
The women's skeletons show battle injuries:
ribs slashed by swords,
skulls bashed by battle-axes,
and arrows embedded in bones.
In classical art and writings,
the fearsome Amazons were always portrayed as brave and heroic.
In male-dominated classical Greece, however,
the very idea of strong women who gloried in freedom and war aroused mixed feelings.
And yet, the Greeks were also drawn to egalitarian ideals.
Is it possible that the mythic realm of thrilling Amazon tales
was a way to imagine women and men as equal companions?

Tommy Lee and Son Feud on Father's Day as Brandon Posts Video of Rocker Seemingly Passed Out - News - Duration: 5:05.
Mötley Crüe rocker Tommy Lee and his 22-year-old son Brandon Lee didn't set aside their tension for Father's Day
Months after an alleged physical altercation between the two left the rocker with a bloody lip, Tommy shared a candid Instagram post in honor of the holiday including two photos: one of the musician with his own father and a throwback picture with one of his sons
(He and ex Pamela Anderson are also parents to son Dylan Jagger, 20.) "Happy Father's Day fellas! I'm not gonna sit here and post some fluffed up bulls— for the public to read…
I'm gonna be honest- Being a father ain't easy!" he wrote. "I'm so tired of the fake s— I keep seeing all over IG… let's get real: It's a rollercoaster ok?" The 55-year-old drummer claimed that he wanted to instill the respect for others and material possessions that his own dad taught him into his own children
"Sometimes I feel like I failed as a father, because my kids don't know the value of things," he claimed
"If they break something, they don't care because they know they'll just get a new one, if they hurt someone, they don't care because so many people tell them it's OK
I never wanted this for my kids. I know I'm not fully to blame, because their mom has a lot to do with it, enabling bad behavior and buying them things when they weren't good, but I guess I hoped at the end of the day they would end up kind
" He added, "I love them dearly, don't get me wrong, but man, sometimes it's really tough to watch your kids grow up without those morals
Nothing can really prepare you for fatherhood …. I love my boys but they can be a——- too…and that's the truth (Cue Honest Guy music)
" Brandon replied by sharing a screenshot of his dad's post on his own Instagram account, claiming he was an absent father
"Remember what happened last time you said this s—? 🤔 night night 😴" said Brandon
"You gotta show up to be a Dad big guy. If you think we're so bad (which I can assure you we are not) then you should have showed up to a few more BDays and baseball games
Someone like you couldn't raise a man like me." He continued, "Once again painting our family in a negative light
Who the f— are you? Just move on dude… WE ALL HAVE. ✌🏼or I'll put you right back to f—— sleep 😴" Brandon then posted a video that appeared to show Tommy passed out on the ground wearing just a black t-shirt and underwear
"Look a little sleepy there Tommy. 😴" Brandon captioned the post. One day after the alleged March scuffle between the father and son, Tommy posted (and quickly deleted) a selfie of his swollen lips on Instagram captioned, "My heart is broken
You can give your kids everything they could ever want in their entire lives and they can still turn against you
Good job Brandon. Great son!" Representatives for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's office, who arrived on the scene shortly after the incident, previously told PEOPLE the pair had been arguing about a series of disparaging tweets and photos Lee had written about Anderson, following an interview where the 50-year-old discussed physical abuse she claimed to have endured from her ex during their relationship
The case was dismissed by the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office in April
Brandon released an exclusive statement to PEOPLE at the time of the fight, in which he claimed his father is battling alcoholism and that he had worked "tirelessly organizing an intervention
" "I wanted my dad's hopeful sobriety and recovery to be a private family matter but, as a result of his accusations on social media, I feel forced to speak out
I have and will continue to cooperate with law enforcement as needed. I love my father and just want to see him sober, happy and healthy," Brandon said in a statement provided by his rep, Teal Cannaday
Lee denied the allegations the same day, tweeting: "I'm happier than I've been in my entire life
I have a few drinks here & there because I'm f—in' retired and enjoying my life. I worked 30+ f—in' years I deserve it
You didn't arrange any intervention, you barely spoke to me while u were here." In a lengthy statement titled "Alcoholism is the Devil" which was shared on her website, Anderson previously called her ex "a disaster spinning out of control," adding that she stood "beside my son who acted out of self-defense and was scared for his life
"

NBA stars who are surprisingly poor than you expect - Duration: 4:52.
One of the perks of being a pro athlete apart from fame is money, loads and loads of money.
And the NBA stars are no exception when it comes to huge paychecks.
NBA teams have a simple formula for its players: Benefit the team, and the team will benefit
you.
If you can demonstrate your skills well, you will be awarded with a big fat contract, often
close to nine figures.
However, for whatever reasons, the inflow of huge cash can utterly numb the player's
mind when it comes to managing their finances.
Be it their lavish lifestyle, terrible business decisions, or their own behavioural issues,
some of the players can't keep majority the cash they've made.
Here is a list of the basketball stars who are poorer than they should be.
But before we begin, be sure to subscribe to our channel and hit that bell icon for
more great content.
Latrell Sprewell We might need a more intense word than 'short-tempered'
when describing former Golden State player Latrell Sprewell.
His downfall started in 1997 when he choked his coach during practice and was suspended
for 68 games.
Moreover, when he declined an offer of $21 millions by the Timberwolves saying "I've
got my family to feed", his NBA career ended.
After consequently losing his $1.3 million yacht and both of his mansions, Sprewell found
himself to be worth $50,000 even after making $100 million during his career.
2.
Eddy Curry This NBA star joined the broke club when he
was still in the NBA.
His money would go down the hole faster than he made it.
From being rubbed at a gunpoint, being charged with sexual harassment for $5 million, and
being unable to default on his loan of $580,000 at 85% interest rate, Curry wasn't just
keeping eye on his cash.
Curry even paid $16000 monthly allowance to friends and relatives - a sweet gesture, but
it had a huge consequence.
By 2009, his $6.2 million mansion was in foreclosure due to $220,000 in mortgage payments, despite
earning $70 million throughout his career.
3.
Darius Miles The 6'9'' player is a perfect example
of 'too young to have it all.'
He was selected by the Los Angeles Clippers directly out of the high school and offered
a $9 million contract.
He even had an endorsement deal with Michael Jordan's athletic brand and even acted in
some movies.
However, all his money was gone before he even realised.
He was sued for child support in 2010 and had to sell one of his homes in 2014.
In 2016, he filed for bankruptcy even after earning nearly $62 million in his NBA career.
It showed his liability greater than his assets that included his 13 homes.
4.
Vin Baker Once a NBA player with millions of dollars
in his bank, Baker even served customers in Starbucks after losing it all.
During his 13-year career in the NBA, he banked nearly $100 million.
However, due to myriad of financial troubles and struggle with substance abuse, he lost
all of his fortune.
In 2008, Baker's Connecticut home was foreclosed and put up for sale for $2.3 million.
After going broke, he asked his former SuperSonics boss, Howard Schultz, for help and consequently
got a job at Starbucks.
Nowadays, As of 2018, he works as an assistant coach for the Milwaukee Bucks.
5.
Sheryl Swoopes It's not only men who aren't good in handling
their money.
The first player to be signed in the WNBA, Swoopes was a winner of three olympic gold
medals.
She made over $50 million only from her sneaker line, Nike Air Swoopes.
However, she was really extravagant with her spending.
Moreover, she was reportedly screwed over by agents and lawyers.
Due to underlying financial pressure, Swoopes filed for bankruptcy in 2004.
She even had to auction off her prized possessions including olympic medals.
Which of the basketball players do you think should have handled their finances better?

Jeep Wrangler JK DV8 RS-1 Rear Bumper w/ Tire Carrier & Tapered Bearing (2007-2018) Review & Install - Duration: 12:55.
This DV8 Off-Road RS-1 rear bumper with tire carrier and tapered bearing is for those of
you that have a 2007 to 2018 JK that are looking for a rear bumper that's going to give you
a tire carrier to get that big spare tire off the factory mount, but also has some other
off-road-ready features and is also going to offer some better protection to your Jeep
than that factory plastic bumper will.
This bumper is going to be a very easy one-out-of-three-wrench installation.
This will bolt right in place of that factory bumper.
As with most other aftermarket bumpers, no drilling, no major modifications to the Jeep
necessary, but we'll talk a little bit more about that install in just a second.
So DV8 Off-Road does make a couple of different pieces of armor, different types of armor
and different bumpers.
This is going to be a pretty high-quality bumper that has a lot of the features that
you would expect to see in an aftermarket bumper that also has a tire carrier.
The tire carrier has some good adjustability built into it but it says right in the name
that it has a tapered bearing.
That is also very important.
So a couple of the main areas you're going to want to look at when you're trying to buy
a tire carrier-bumper combo are the spindle end and at the latch end.
So if the spindle has bearings in it that means it's gonna hold up better, it's going
to be able to support the weight better, it's not going to rust, to wear out, to get very
difficult to open and close over time and then as long as you have a nice high-quality
latching mechanism, it's not going to rattle or again wear out over time, get rusty, cause
you issues.
So this bumper is going to have the bearings and the spindle end that are going to ensure
that this tire carrier continues to work for a good, long time.
Now DV8 does make some very good stuff and it is also going to be pretty fairly priced
for which you're getting.
A lot of the tire carrier bumpers that are of this configuration are going to be right
in this price range, and you are getting the spindle end with the bearing in it which is
something that I really like.
So overall I think this is a pretty good buy.
So let's talk about the construction of this bumper, what you're really getting.
So you have the bumper here, this has a 2-inch receiver in the center that can be used as
a recovery point.
You have two nice, heavy D-ring mounts and this does come with the D-rings as well for
additional recovery points.
The corners here wrap around the tub a little bit.
They do tuck up so you have some nice style, also some nice protection from this bumper.
The area around the 2-inch receiver, that bolts right through the rear cross member
just like a factory 2-inch receiver would, a tow-ready receiver would so you're gonna
get a lot of strength out of that particular recovery point.
You have a nice, deep cutout here in the bumper that allows you to make your spare tire as
low as possible.
That's gonna give you the maximum viewing out of the rear window of the Jeep.
So overall the bumper is very solid.
The tire carrier, I know we already talked about a couple of those features it has.
The tapered bearing in the spindle end here, it does have a nice high-quality latching
mechanism.
But here are a couple of the other very important things about a tire carrier, you have adjustability
up and down.
Again I just mentioned that that allows you to mount the tire as low as possible to get
the maximum viewing out of the back window so that's something I really like but it's
not a necessity.
What's a little bit more important is in and out adjustability and the adjustability of
the tire mount itself to allow you to push that tire nice and tight up against the carrier.
That's so that you don't have all the weight of the tire hanging out there, moving around,
torquing around every time you hit a bump on road or off-road, fatiguing that metal
and causing issues and also causing noise and rattles that are very, very annoying.
So this tire carrier will allow you to get that tire nice and tight up against the carrier
regardless of what width wheel, what width tire or what backspacing you're running, you're
gonna be able to get everything nice and tight and keep it rattle free.
So you're going to be shopping for a bumper that has a tire carrier for a couple of different
reasons.
If you have a large spare tire on that factory spare tire carrier, the tire carrier itself
can end up fatiguing and breaking.
You can also break the welds and the tailgate, and the hinge mechanism on the tailgate is
also not designed for that additional weight.
So a setup like this where you're moving the spare tire onto a tire carrier that's mounted
onto a bumper is going to solve all those problems.
This bumper and tire carrier come in at $730.
I think that is a very fair price for what you're getting.
This design you can find from a lot of different manufacturers.
There's a couple of small tweaks here and there.
But the overall design is available from a few different places.
What I really like about this one is that they do have the upgraded spindle end here
with the bearing in it.
That's gonna be very important for the longevity of the tire carrier and you keep maintenance
as simple as possible.
So if you are looking for a tire carrier of this design I think this is going to be a
quality one at a fair price.
Now we'll have a member of the install team to show you how you get this bolted up.
We're going to start off by uninstalling our stock bumper.
We have four bolts to remove.
So let's get started.
All right we're going to need a 16-millimeter socket.
We get this bolt out.
I'm using a power ratchet but you guys could use a regular ratchet if that's all you have.
All right.
So we're gonna remove the two bolts on this side of the Jeep now.
I already have one of the bolts removed.
It's a 16-millimeter.
I have it on a power ratchet.
You guys can use a regular ratchet, whatever works easier for you.
And then once your four bolts are out, you can remove the rear bumper.
We can now start installing our new bumper.
The first thing we're going to do is insert these nut plates into the frame rail of the
Jeep.
Next thing we can do is insert the four bolts that were provided.
They're gonna go in with the threads facing out.
You have to put the bolt above the muffler in order to get it into the hole.
And from here we can take our spacer plate and insert it onto the bolts that we just
put in and the next thing we can do is install the new bumper.
So with the help of a friend here, lift up on your bumper and line up your bolts.
Slide them through the spacer and put a washer and a nut on the other side.
We also got two bolts started on each side of the bumper as well.
All right.
We can tighten our bumper up now.
We're gonna start with the four bolts in the center here.
Got an 18-millimeter socket and a 19-millimeter wrench.
We want to tighten up the four in the middle first and then two on the outsides.
The four in the middle here will wind the bumper properly and then we can go to the
outsides and tighten those up.
Now we can move to the outside bolts.
All right I got an 18-millimeter socket on my ratchet here, we're gonna tighten up these
two bolts.
Okay.
Next up is our tire carrier.
We're going to slip it down onto the axle here followed by the castle nut and a cotter
pin.
I have a 34-millimeter socket on my ratchet here to tighten up this castle nut.
If you don't have a socket this big, you can use an adjustable wrench or a pair of pliers.
Just gonna back this off a little bit so I can line hole up for the cotter pin.
All right, now we can slide our cotter pin in.
And with a pair of pliers, we can bend both ends of this over to lock it in place.
All right.
Once you've got your cotter pin and castle nut in place here we can now cap off the top
of the stud here.
DV8 provides you with an Allen wrench for this.
Next, we're going to install the handle lock into place.
All right, with the provided hardware we're going to put a bolt through, a washer on the
bolt, flat washer, lock washer and a nut.
Got a 17-millimeter socket with a 17-millimeter wrench.
Need to tighten these up.
Next thing we're gonna do is install the tire carrier swing stop.
These two bolts are 16-millimeter.
Next thing we're gonna do is bolt up the tire carrier.
And I got an 18-millimeter socket with a 19-millimeter wrench.
All right.
And the last thing we're going to do here is bolt up our tire mount.
And I have an 18-millimeter socket for this.
Now we can put our tire on.
So if you're looking for a quality bumper-tire carrier combination, I'd recommend this option
from DV8 Off-Road and you can find it right here at extremeterrain.com.

Tactics for Online Discussions - Duration: 3:46.
Which tactics, if any, work while discussing Christianity on the internet?
Well in some sense, I would say many tactics I would use in a conversation
with someone in person would also apply to a discussion on the internet. However,
there are also some tactics that I believe are unique to online discussion.
But let me first mention two tactics I use in person that I think also apply to
online discussions. And the first is to use the Columbo tactic a lot. Okay? Now
that's just the tactic of asking questions to better understand what a
person believes and why they believe it. In fact, I always try to take time to
find out a person's view or their point before trying to respond or make my case,
and I believe the same would apply to an online discussion. Now, a second tactic
would be to make conversational character a priority. And by that I mean,
make sure that the manner in which we're communicating with a person is warm, and
friendly, and kind, and gracious, and inviting. And in fact, if you can't do
that, then please stop engaging others. I feel like people underestimate the
importance of conversational character when they engage with people who
don't share their religious convictions. You represent Jesus in how you come
across to other people. So this is key in both offline and online discussion. So
now, let me mention then three tactics I believe that are specific to online
discussions. The first is to lower your expectations. And I think it's a lot
harder to have a civil and productive conversation online so it's often times
better to expect less and then be pleasantly surprised than vice-versa.
The second tactic is to have someone proofread your responses before posting
it, okay? And the reason is that it's much easier to miss communicate when you're
writing since we often abbreviate what we're writing in order to save time. And
that means it's easier to unintentionally imply something that you
don't mean or have someone infer something that you didn't intend to
communicate. I often have my wife actually read my post and my responses
before I send them off because she's a very different person,
okay? She's very different than me and she has very
different sensibilities. And she'll often read something and notice it sounds odd
and well, she'll tell me, you know what Alan, this comes across a little bit
condescending or a little bit arrogant, you know. And so it helps me to have a
different perspective to sort of give me insight on how something that I've
written might be understood. And finally, the third tactic I'd say is to be
willing to abandon an online conversation or discussion when it
devolves. Because after all, even your best attempts might result in an
unhealthy dialogue, and a wise person knows when that moment arrives, and I'd
say it's best to cut your losses and then move on. So you just simply say, "Hey,
you know what? I don't think this conversation is is really healthy and
productive. You know, why don't you go ahead, make your final point, and I'll
allow you to have the last word on this." So then you let them make their last
point, and then you just let it go. Finally, remember this: As an ambassador
for Christ, it's only your job to present the truth or your case in a persuasive
yet gracious way, and then leave the results up to God. So don't be committed
to the end result of changing their mind or making them become a Christian. That's
God's job. Your job is simply to be committed to your part of the equation
which is being a faithful ambassador, and then let the Holy Spirit do His thing.

How to Make The Most Amazing Eggplant Lasagna | The Stay At Home Chef - Duration: 5:02.
Today on The Stay At Home Chef
I'm showing you how to make
Eggplant Lasagna
Eggplant lasagna is a great way to sneak in more vegetables
Today I'm taking my recipe for The Most Amazing Lasagna
and turning it into The Most Amazing Eggplant Lasagna
You are going to love it!
Start by preheating an oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit
and lightly grease 2 baking sheets or like I'm going to do today
line the bottom with silicone baking mats
Then you'll need 2 to 3 eggplants
Trim off the top and the bottom
Slide that out of the way
And then you want to slice it into 1/4 inch slices
so that you have faux noodles
Take your little "eggplant lasagna sheets" and spread them out
into a single layer on your baking sheets
Then you'll take 1 tablespoon of olive oil
and drizzle it right onto the eggplant slices
Then we'll season them with a little bit of salt
and a little bit of black pepper
Then we're going to roast these in the 400 degree oven
for about 20 to 25 minutes, flipping them over halfway through
While the eggplant is roasting we're going to
put together a quick meat sauce on the stove
Get 1 pound of either ground beef or ground sausage
cooking in a pan over medium-high heat
I prefer sausage for the extra flavor but you can also use
ground beef or if you want to make a vegetarian eggplant lasagna
well then, just skip this step
Break up the meat a little bit and then
add in half of a white diced onion
and 3 cloves of crushed garlic
and keep on cooking
Once the meat is completely cooked through and browned
we're going to add in 28 ounces of crushed tomatoes
Pour those on in along with
15 ounces of tomato sauce which is pureed tomato
and a whole can of tomato paste
and you want to take off the little metal part
If you're going to use the tomato paste can trick
make sure you rinse off the top and bottom of the can
before doing it
Then we'll also add in 1/2 cup of white wine or red wine
or you can use chicken broth
1/2 cup of freshly chopped basil
1/4 cup of freshly chopped parsley
1 teaspoon of dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon of salt
and last, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
Stir this all in
Let this simmer on the stove for 20 to 30 minutes
while your eggplant finishes roasting
In the meantime we're going to put together our cheese mixture
then we'll be ready to assemble
Mix 15 ounces of ricotta cheese with 1egg
2 tablespoons of freshly chopped parsley
1/2 teaspoon of salt
and a pinch of ground nutmeg
Stir it all together
Lightly grease a 9x13 pan and we are ready to assemble this bad boy
Spoon about 1 cup of the meat sauce into the bottom
of the prepared pan and spread it out so it covers the bottom
Then we'll take some of our eggplant slices
and lay them out into a single layer on top of the meat sauce
Then we'll spread on some of our ricotta
Just kind of smooth that around to give a nice cheesy layer
layer on some thin slices of mozzarella cheese
Now I like the thin slices but you could also use shredded mozzarella
Layer on more of the meat sauce
Sprinkle on some parmesan cheese
Then layer on more of the eggplant
Now do another layer like that with the ricotta
the mozzarella, the meat sauce, and the parmesan
and then another layer of eggplant
The final layer just add more sauce on top of the eggplant
And then a final layer of cheese
You want the mozzarella and the rest of your parmesan
Then we're going to bake this in the 400 degree oven
for about 30 to 35 minutes
Or until the cheese is bubbly and browned
Let it cool for about 10 to 15 minutes before slicing into it
and you are ready to eat!

2004-2018 F150 Supreme Suspensions 2.5" Pro Billet Strut Spacer Leveling Kit Review & Install - Duration: 10:47.
The Supreme Suspensions kit that we have here today will be an affordable two and a half
inch leveling kit that will allow truck owners to comfortably fit a set of 33 inch tires
while also making for a more leveled appearance overall.
Now, the Supreme spacers will feature a one-piece billet aluminum construction for right around
that $80 price point while the install itself will get a strong two out of three wrenches
on the difficulty meter, and we will have a detailed walkthrough to come later in the
video.
Let's talk about tire fitment here with the Supreme options installed.
And first and foremost, we did try the stockers and, as you'd imagine, they fit fine and really
didn't look too bad at all.
However, me personally, if you plan on sticking with a stock wheel and tire combination and
want to level your truck, I think two inches is the magic number, just looks a little bit
more proper, if you will.
But that being said, two and a half inches doesn't look bad and will certainly give you
more room to breathe.
Up next, we did try on a set a 33 by 12 and a half inch tires using a plus 20 offset wheel.
And honestly, guys, the truck looked fantastic, no rubbing lock to lock both forward or backwards.
And really if you're leveling your truck, a 33 is just simply going to be the tire for
you.
Yes, with some leveling kits, you can squeeze a 35 under there using a stock or similar
offset wheel, which is basically a plus 40 or higher.
However, it gets a little close for comfort and there might be some rubbing involved.
But a 33 9 times out of 10 including this time is the perfect combination when using
a two and a half inch level or something similar.
But for those owners out there who might be a little green on the topic of leveling kits,
the strut spacer that we have here is going to appeal to those truck owners who wanna
get rid of that factory rake, meaning the front end is a little bit lower than the rear,
which is ultimately gonna make for a more leveled appearance once you install a leveling
kit like this.
Now, this will allow for some bigger rubber underneath your truck as we just pointed out.
And for the most part, guys, the Supreme options that we have here will feature one of the
most common and most affordable designs when looking to level.
And that is basically a strut spacer like this that will mount to the top portion of
your factory strut assembly while leaving the rear suspension untouched, again, giving
you that level of appearance.
Now, even though the basic idea of a lot of these strut spacers is pretty much the same
at the end of the day, you will find some variances between materials and also build
when it comes to checking out your different options in the category.
And that leads me to my one big thing I like about the Supreme options here.
And that is the solid one-piece billet aluminum construction.
There's no welds to fail.
There's no plastic to kind of break away or fail on you over the years, instead you're
looking at a very solid design made in the USA and again, CNC'd out of a big chunk of
billet aluminum.
They do include three studs for each spacer here which you will have to thread in, and
perhaps best of all, they do toss in a bottle opener for your favorite adult beverage when
looking to tackle that installation.
But speaking of the installation, let's move on into that and talk a little bit more about
it.
And as I did point out earlier, guys, these will mount to the top of your strut assemblies,
meaning you will have to yank those out for the installation.
So, strong two out of three wrenches on the difficulty meter.
Maybe a couple of hours or less in the shop or garage depending on your expertise and
just how fast you like to work.
And to give you a better idea of what you might encounter in the driveway or garage,
here is an AT tech with a walkthrough.
Today we're gonna be installing a leveling kit on our 2018 F150.
First we got our truck up on the lift.
Next we're gonna start removing the wheels and tires, and we'll dive into the suspension.
First thing we need to do is disconnect our brake line and our ABS sensor from the spindle.
This is gonna allow us to disconnect everything and let it fall forward.
We have a 10-millimeter and an eight-millimeter.
All right.
We got one more brake line to disconnect.
That's gonna be another 10-millimeter.
Next we need to disconnect the ABS line.
All this is gonna do it just give us a little bit more slack.
Next we need to disconnect the tie-rod nut.
It's gonna be a 21-millimeter.
And from there, we're going to move up to the upper ball joint.
We'll remove that.
And from there, we're gonna go down to the sway bar link and disconnect that.
If this doesn't come loose for you guys, you might have to hit right here with the hammer
to knock it loose.
I got lucky and this came right out.
Now we can disconnect our sway bar link.
It's gonna be an 18-millimeter.
Now we can remove the upper ball joint nut, it's a 18-millimeter.
We can now remove the two strut nuts.
It's an 18 millimeter.
So we need to knock these two studs out right here.
What I'm gonna do is put the nut back on.
I'm just gonna start it so I don't mess the end of the bolt up with the hammer and we're
gonna hit them out.
All right.
We're back up at the top here.
You got three nuts to take off of the upper strut.
I got an 18-millimeter ratchet wrench.
We can now pull the whole strut assembly out of the truck.
We're now ready to bolt our spacer on to the strut top.
We're simply gonna slide it on and we're gonna use the provided hardware: a flat washer and
a lock washer.
We're now ready to throw our whole strut assembly back into the truck with our new spacer or
on top.
We can now bolt the strut back into place using the provided hardware.
I got a five-sixteenths Allen wrench.
I'm gonna tighten these up.
Now I'm gonna bolt the bottom of the strut back to the control arm.
We can now bolt our tie-rod up.
From there, we're gonna move up to the upper ball joint and then to the sway bar end link.
I'm gonna bolt the lower sway bar end link back to the control arm.
I have a prybar prying down on the sway bar.
I'm gonna bolt our brake line brackets back into place now.
This guy right next to it.
And now we just have a couple little plastic clips to pop back in.
Pop this brake line back into the clip.
That's gonna wrap up the right side.
We're gonna head over to the driver's side and we're gonna do the same process.
We are now ready to put our wheels and tires back on the truck.
All right, guys, that's gonna wrap up our review and install.

Tommy Lee and Son Feud on Father's Day as Brandon Posts Video of Rocker Seemingly Passed Out - News - Duration: 5:05.Mötley Crüe rocker Tommy Lee and his 22-year-old son Brandon Lee didn't set aside their tension for Father's Day
Months after an alleged physical altercation between the two left the rocker with a bloody lip, Tommy shared a candid Instagram post in honor of the holiday including two photos: one of the musician with his own father and a throwback picture with one of his sons
(He and ex Pamela Anderson are also parents to son Dylan Jagger, 20.) "Happy Father's Day fellas! I'm not gonna sit here and post some fluffed up bulls— for the public to read…
I'm gonna be honest- Being a father ain't easy!" he wrote. "I'm so tired of the fake s— I keep seeing all over IG… let's get real: It's a rollercoaster ok?" The 55-year-old drummer claimed that he wanted to instill the respect for others and material possessions that his own dad taught him into his own children
"Sometimes I feel like I failed as a father, because my kids don't know the value of things," he claimed
"If they break something, they don't care because they know they'll just get a new one, if they hurt someone, they don't care because so many people tell them it's OK
I never wanted this for my kids. I know I'm not fully to blame, because their mom has a lot to do with it, enabling bad behavior and buying them things when they weren't good, but I guess I hoped at the end of the day they would end up kind
" He added, "I love them dearly, don't get me wrong, but man, sometimes it's really tough to watch your kids grow up without those morals
Nothing can really prepare you for fatherhood …. I love my boys but they can be a——- too…and that's the truth (Cue Honest Guy music)
" Brandon replied by sharing a screenshot of his dad's post on his own Instagram account, claiming he was an absent father
"Remember what happened last time you said this s—? 🤔 night night 😴" said Brandon
"You gotta show up to be a Dad big guy. If you think we're so bad (which I can assure you we are not) then you should have showed up to a few more BDays and baseball games
Someone like you couldn't raise a man like me." He continued, "Once again painting our family in a negative light
Who the f— are you? Just move on dude… WE ALL HAVE. ✌🏼or I'll put you right back to f—— sleep 😴" Brandon then posted a video that appeared to show Tommy passed out on the ground wearing just a black t-shirt and underwear
"Look a little sleepy there Tommy. 😴" Brandon captioned the post. One day after the alleged March scuffle between the father and son, Tommy posted (and quickly deleted) a selfie of his swollen lips on Instagram captioned, "My heart is broken
You can give your kids everything they could ever want in their entire lives and they can still turn against you
Good job Brandon. Great son!" Representatives for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's office, who arrived on the scene shortly after the incident, previously told PEOPLE the pair had been arguing about a series of disparaging tweets and photos Lee had written about Anderson, following an interview where the 50-year-old discussed physical abuse she claimed to have endured from her ex during their relationship
The case was dismissed by the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office in April
Brandon released an exclusive statement to PEOPLE at the time of the fight, in which he claimed his father is battling alcoholism and that he had worked "tirelessly organizing an intervention
" "I wanted my dad's hopeful sobriety and recovery to be a private family matter but, as a result of his accusations on social media, I feel forced to speak out
I have and will continue to cooperate with law enforcement as needed. I love my father and just want to see him sober, happy and healthy," Brandon said in a statement provided by his rep, Teal Cannaday
Lee denied the allegations the same day, tweeting: "I'm happier than I've been in my entire life
I have a few drinks here & there because I'm f—in' retired and enjoying my life. I worked 30+ f—in' years I deserve it
You didn't arrange any intervention, you barely spoke to me while u were here." In a lengthy statement titled "Alcoholism is the Devil" which was shared on her website, Anderson previously called her ex "a disaster spinning out of control," adding that she stood "beside my son who acted out of self-defense and was scared for his life
"

Bedtime stories | Various | Books in English Subtitles - Duration: 1:04:07.
Bedtime Stories for Aidan Christopher. Introduction: Hello Aidan, its Uncle Bob. I just wanted
to take a minute and then say good night. I've got a collection of stories put together
for you and I'm really glad to give them to you. These stories were collected from some
kind and generous people. They're from all around the world as far away as Australia, some from
Canada, all over the United States, England and even one young lady who was born in Africa
and now resides in Belgium. What I have for you, Aidan, is a collection of poems, prose
and one solitary song, a very sweet little song. So if you'll set your head back on the
pillow and make yourself comfortable these stories will help take you to a place where
you will experience both the fantastic and the phantasmagorical. And the place where
these stories come from is a place where everyone gets to go. A place that's accessible to every
woman, every man and every child, everyone who has ever lived, everyone who is living
and everyone who will come after us. So enjoy the stories, Aidan. Sweet dreams.
The Old Rocking-Horse by Jay G and C Carnahan. Sweet dreams, Aidan. He was a very old rocking-horse
indeed. His first master, sunny-headed little Robbie, had grown into a man with a beard,
and had given his old playmate to his sister's children.
These children had in their turn grown into great schoolboys, so the old horse, like the
other toys, was left forsaken in the big nursery at the top of the house. Broken-down furniture
and old magazines had found their way there, together with travelling-trunks and portmanteaux.
Spiders had spun their webs over the windows, and dust lay thick on everything. When little
Basil found his way into the old nursery it seemed to him like an enchanted palace. The
spiders and dust only made him think that somewhere he would find the "sleeping beauty."
The litter of toys and paper and boxes suggested hidden treasure. Once in this room of delightful
possibilities, he did not care how long his mother and aunt continued their wearisome
talks downstairs of what they called "old times." He stretched himself on a faded couch
while he considered where to begin his operations, and stared at the deeply-cut initials on the
mantelshelf, and regretted that the chimney-piece in the nursery at home, being stone, did not
lend itself to similar delights. With a sigh he rolled over, and the rocking-horse met
his gaze. He looked at it so long that his eyes blinked. Older people would have said
that just then the old horse creaked, as old things have a way of doing. But children
understand these things better than old folks who have grown dull. Basil knew quite well
that the old horse had sighed, and he asked him what was the matter.
"I was only wishing some one would smarten me up a bit," said the horse. "My left eye
is in that box with the tin soldiers. My tail is tied to a stick in that cupboard where
the tools are, a bit of glue would stick both in. And one stirrup is nailed to the table-drawer
for a handle. It could be got off, and tied to my saddle-strap with a bit of string. My
mane is gone for ever. Johnny put it on a mask for whiskers one Guy Fawkes' day, and
Herbert threw it in the bonfire. I don't suppose any of the nails can be got out that Tom knocked
into my sides; they are in too tight. Nor can the buttons and marbles be got out of
my inside that Johnny put in through the hole in my neck. But I might be smartened up a
little!" "Oh, if that is all you want I dare say I
can help you," said Basil, jumping up and running to the cupboard. "Here's your tail,
anyway! and here's a bottle of liquid glue too. Now I'll look for your eye." "You know,"
went on the old horse, "I heard the mother saying the other day that she would send me
back to my old home if I were not so shabby." Basil, who had found the missing eye, was
now fixing it in its place with plenty of glue, which ran down and dropped off the horse's
nose. Basil was sure he saw a tear drop from the other eye. "Does it hurt?" he asked sympathetically.
"Oh, I don't mind that," said the horse. "It is like old times to be hurt by a little boy;
besides, one must always suffer if one would look fine." "Yes; nurse says something like
that when I cry while she combs my hair," said Basil. "Robbie didn't cry to have his
hair combed," said the horse shortly. "He didn't even cry when the soap was in his eyes.
By now he has grown into a brave man! When he fell off me and made his leg bleed he said
it was nothing, and just got on me again. But he did cry when he parted from me." "Well,
he was a coward once, anyway." "No, he wasn't," snorted the horse. "It isn't cowardly to cry
because you are leaving some one you love." "All the same, don't toss your head like that,
or your eye will drop out again," cried Basil warningly. "But you may go on telling me about
Robbie." "I was his dearest friend," went on the horse. "He told me all about his troubles,
and showed me all his new things; and he used to learn his lessons sitting on my back. When
he had a piece of cake he used to push a bit in through the hole in my neck, and rock me
to make it drop into my stomach." "Oh! then the hole has been there a long time." "Yes;
Robbie made it to feed me through; those other boys only put buttons and marbles in, and
old nails. Robbie always gave me a bit of cake with the biggest plum in it. When he
was ill he asked for me, and the mother had me put by the bedside, and I watched him night
and day. His little hand grew so thin and pale, and he used to slip it out from under
the quilt to stroke me." "There! your tail's in now," cried Basil. "So now I will see if
I can get the stirrup off the drawer; then I'll sponge you a bit." "If you could only
make me look nice they would send me back for Robbie's boy, and I should see Robbie
again before I die. You are a kind little boy, and Robbie will love you." "Tell me some
more. You look ever so much better already," said Basil, tugging away at the stirrup. "And
I dare say when you get back to Robbie he will have you painted up, and then you will
feel just like you used to feel." "Yes," said the old horse; "he will have me done up like
new, and he will tell his little boy to love me for his sake, and all my happy days will
begin again. Often at night I have listened to the wind roaring in the chimney and have
shivered with cold, and have thought how Robbie would have put a rug over me if he were here."
Just then the gong sounded for luncheon. "I must go now," said Basil, "but I will come
up again and finish you." "Auntie," Basil began, when he was seated at the table, "I
have been mending up the old rocking-horse; won't you send it to Uncle Robbie's boy?"
Basil was too wise to repeat all the old horse had told him, for he knew that grown-up people
never understand that toys talk to the children. "Yes, I think I will," auntie replied. The
gas was lit in the entrance-hall of a big house in a country town. A little white-frocked
child raced to the door to meet a tall, handsome man who had just entered. "Papa! papa! the
old wocking-horse is tum, it was youse when you was ickle boy; tum and see it." The father
perched his little son on his shoulder and mounted the stairs to the nursery, where the
firelight danced on the walls. The old rocking-horse was waiting, almost faint with joy; he was
soon to see his beloved master, to feel his caress. The father placed his son on the floor,
and advanced to his old playmate. "What an old scarecrow!" he exclaimed, laughing. "Whatever
could your aunt have been thinking of to send it! We will despatch it to be chopped up for
firewood, and buy you a new one." So the old horse was carried off to the back yard. But
nobody knew that his heart was broken! End of story.
Good night, Aidan. Good evening, Aidan.
Tonight I'd like to read you The Jumblies by Edward Lear.
They went to sea in a Sieve, they did, In a Sieve they went to sea:
In spite of all their friends could say, On a winter's morn, on a stormy day,
In a Sieve they went to sea! And when the Sieve turned round and round,
And every one cried, 'You'll all be drowned!' They called aloud, 'Our Sieve ain't big,
But we don't care a button! We don't care a fig!
In a Sieve we'll go to sea!' Far and few, far and few,
Are the lands where the Jumblies live; Their heads are green, and their hands are
blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.
They sailed away in a Sieve, they did, In a Sieve they sailed so fast,
With only a beautiful pea-green veil Tied with a riband by way of a sail,
To a small tobacco-pipe mast; And every one said, who saw them go,
'O won't they be soon upset, you know! For the sky is dark, and the voyage is long,
And happen what may, it's extremely wrong In a Sieve to sail so fast!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue,
And they went to sea in a Sieve. The water it soon came in, it did,
The water it soon came in; So to keep them dry, they wrapped their feet
In a pinky paper all folded neat, And they fastened it down with a pin.
And they passed the night in a crockery-jar, And each of them said, 'How wise we are!
Though the sky be dark, and the voyage be long,
Yet we never can think we were rash or wrong, While round in our Sieve we spin!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue,
And they went to sea in a Sieve. And all night long they sailed away;
And when the sun went down, They whistled and warbled a moony song
To the echoing sound of a coppery gong, In the shade of the mountains brown.
'O Timballo! How happy we are, When we live in a sieve and a crockery-jar,
And all night long in the moonlight pale, We sail away with a pea-green sail,
In the shade of the mountains brown!' Far and few, far and few,
Are the lands where the Jumblies live; Their heads are green, and their hands are
blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.
They sailed to the Western Sea, they did, To a land all covered with trees,
And they bought an Owl, and a useful Cart, And a pound of Rice, and a Cranberry Tart,
And a hive of silvery Bees. And they bought a Pig, and some green Jack-daws,
And a lovely Monkey with lollipop paws, And forty bottles of Ring-Bo-Ree,
And no end of Stilton Cheese. Far and few, far and few,
Are the lands where the Jumblies live; Their heads are green, and their hands are
blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.
And in twenty years they all came back, In twenty years or more,
And every one said, 'How tall they've grown!'
For they've been to the Lakes, and the Torrible Zone,
And the hills of the Chankly Bore; And they drank their health, and gave them
a feast Of dumplings made of beautiful yeast;
And everyone said, 'If we only live, We too will go to sea in a Sieve,
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!' Far and few, far and few,
Are the lands where the Jumblies live; Their heads are green, and their hands are
blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.
Sweet dreams, Aidan. Water-Lily's Mission by J.G. Kernahan and
C. Kernahan. "Come away, beautiful flower," said the kingfisher;
"do not waste your beauty in this melancholy mere; float away
down the gleaming river where tall bulrushes grow and where you shall
find companions." But the water-lily said, "No, I cannot go,
for up in yonder tower is a prisoner, and I cheer his lonely days. He
watches me and smiles, and forgets that he is a captive. I cannot leave
one so unhappy."
"As you like," said the kingfisher, "but you would not catch me
spending my life under those barren walls," and away flew the
kingfisher. A swallow came and wheeled round and round
the tower. "Swallow," called the water-lily, "come to me." And the
swallow came twittering down.
"I am in a great hurry," he said. "What do you want?"
"Bite through my stem, swallow, and carry me up to the grating in the
tower, and place me on that window-sill." "But you will die, and you are so beautiful,"
said the swallow, looking regretfully at the lily.
"Ah, some deaths are better than living," said the water-lily.
So the swallow plucked the water-lily and carried her up to the
prisoner's window. A thin hand passed through the bars and took the
flower. The captive pressed her passionately to his lips, and his
tears fell fast on the waxen petals. As the tears fell the water-lily
revived. "How beautiful you are," said the captive,
and he took his tin mug of water from a shelf and tenderly placed her
in it so she would not die. Just then a jailer entered, "Ho, ho!" he said,
"how did you come by that; it will just do for my button-hole."
And he seized the water-lily and placed it in his coat.
The poor prisoner fell upon his knees and begged hard that the flower
might be left to him. "Let me have a few days' joy," he pleaded. "The
flower will soon die, and you are free, and can gather the flowers when
you will." But the rough jailer only laughed, and departed
to his own pleasant room, leaving the captive in tears.
"Look here," said the jailer to his little daughter, "there is a flower
I have just taken away from the prisoner in the tower. I don't know
how he got it, but he cried like a baby when I took it away."
"Poor prisoner!" said the little girl, with tears in her own eyes.
"Nay, my little maid, do not weep," said the jailer, taking the child
in his arms. But the little one hid her face against her
father's breast and sobbed. "See, my Lily, I will take his flower back
to him, only do not cry so," said the jailer.
"Father, may I take it to him?" said the little girl, raising her
tear-stained face to her father's, and gazing at him eagerly.
"Won't it do if I take it?" asked the jailer. "Oh, please, let me take it," said the child.
The rough jailer had such tenderness for his child that it was
difficult for him to refuse her anything. So it was that when the
prisoner lifted his weary head as he heard his door open, he beheld a
beautiful child with blue eyes and yellow hair, and in her hand
stretched out to him was the water-lily. "Oh, but it is an angel!" cried the prisoner,
a smile lighting his haggard face. "An angel from heaven; I must
be going to die." "No, poor man, it's little Lily," said the
child, and she slid a round arm about his neck. "I am so sorry for you!"
The prisoner burst into passionate weeping, and kissed the small hand
that lay upon his shoulder. The jailer blew his nose like a trumpet.
"You may be called anything," said the prisoner, "but you are surely an
angel." From this time Lily came to see her prisoner
every day, and he grew almost gay.
In the meantime the water-lily drooped and died, but she was happy, for
she had fulfilled her mission. The prisoner took the dead flower and laid
it on his heart. "Poor little dead flower," he said, "it was you
who brought me my little comforter."
As he said these words he fancied he felt the dead flower move; but it
might have been the beating of his own heart.
Hello, Aidan. Les Ballons by Oscar Wilde.
Against these turbid turquoise skies The light and luminous balloons
Dip and drift like satin moons, Drift like silken butterflies;
Reel with every windy gust, Rise and reel like dancing girls,
Float like strange transparent pearls, Fall and float like silver dust.
Now to the low leaves they cling, Each with coy fantastic pose,
Each a petal of a rose Straining at a gossamer string.
Then to the tall trees they climb, Like thin globes of amethyst,
Wandering opals keeping tryst With the rubies of the lime.
Hello, Aiden. This is Uncle Bob. I'm going to read you The Great Spirit by Sa-Zitkala.
When the spirit swells my breast I love to roam leisurely among the green hills; or sometimes,
sitting on the brink of the murmuring Missouri, I marvel at the great blue overhead.
With half-closed eyes I watch the huge cloud shadows in their noiseless play upon the high bluffs
opposite me, while into my ear ripple the sweet, soft cadences of the river's song.
Folded hands lie in my lap, for the time forgot. My heart and I lie small upon the earth like
a grain of throbbing sand. Drifting clouds and tinkling waters, together with the warmth
of a genial summer day, bespeak with eloquence the loving Mystery round about us. During
the idle while I sat upon the sunny river brink, I grew somewhat, though my response
be not so clearly manifest as in the green grass fringing the edge of the high bluff
back of me. At length retracing the uncertain footpath
scaling the precipitous embankment, I seek the level lands where grow the wild prairie
flowers. And they, the lovely little folk, soothe my soul with their perfumed breath.
Their quaint round faces of varied hue convince the heart which leaps with glad surprise that
they, too, are living symbols of omnipotent thought. With a child's eager eye I drink
in the myriad star shapes wrought in luxuriant color upon the green. Beautiful is the spiritual
essence they embody. I leave them nodding in the breeze, but take
along with me their impress upon my heart. I pause to rest me upon a rock embedded on
the side of a foothill facing the low river bottom. Here the Stone-Boy, of whom the American
aborigine tells, frolics about, shooting his baby arrows and shouting aloud with glee at
the tiny shafts of lightning that flash from the flying arrow-beaks. What an ideal warrior
he became, baffling the siege of the pests of all the land till he triumphed over their
united attack. And here he lay, Inyan our great-great-grandfather, older than the hill
he rested on, older than the race of men who love to tell of his wonderful career.
Interwoven with the thread of this Indian legend of the rock, I fain would trace a subtle
knowledge of the native folk which enabled them to recognize a kinship to any and all
parts of this vast universe. By the leading of an ancient trail I move toward the Indian
village. With the strong, happy sense that both great
and small are so surely enfolded in His magnitude that, without a miss, each has his allotted
individual ground of opportunities, I am buoyant with good nature.
Yellow Breast, swaying upon the slender stem of a wild sunflower, warbles a sweet assurance
of this as I pass near by. Breaking off the clear crystal song, he turns his wee head
from side to side eyeing me wisely as slowly I plod with moccasined feet. Then again he
yields himself to his song of joy. Flit, flit hither and yon, he fills the summer sky with
his swift, sweet melody. And truly does it seem his vigorous freedom lies more in his
little spirit than in his wing. With these thoughts I reach the log cabin
whither I am strongly drawn by the tie of a child to an aged mother. Out bounds my four-footed
friend to meet me, frisking about my path with unmistakable delight. Chän is a black
shaggy dog, "a thoroughbred little mongrel" of whom I am very fond. Chän seems to understand
many words in Sioux, and will go to her mat even when I whisper the word, though generally
I think she is guided by the tone of the voice. Often she tries to imitate the sliding inflection
and long-drawn-out voice to the amusement of our guests, but her articulation is quite
beyond my ear. In both my hands I hold her shaggy head and gaze into her large brown
eyes. At once the dilated pupils contract into tiny black dots, as if the roguish spirit
within would evade my questioning. Finally resuming the chair at my desk I feel
in keen sympathy with my fellow-creatures, for I seem to see clearly again that all are
akin. The racial lines, which once were bitterly real, now serve nothing more than marking
out a living mosaic of human beings. And even here men of the same color are like the ivory
keys of one instrument where each resembles all the rest, yet varies from them in pitch
and quality of voice. And those creatures who are for a time mere echoes of another's
note are not unlike the fable of the thin sick man whose distorted shadow, dressed like
a real creature, came to the old master to make him follow as a shadow. Thus with a compassion
for all echoes in human guise, I greet the solemn-faced "native preacher" whom I find
awaiting me. I listen with respect for God's creature, though he mouth most strangely the
jangling phrases of a bigoted creed. As our tribe is one large family, where every
person is related to all the others, he addressed me:
"Cousin, I came from the morning church service to talk with you."
"Yes?" I said interrogatively, as he paused for some word from me.
Shifting uneasily about in the straight-backed chair he sat upon, he began: "Every holy day
(Sunday) I look about our little God's house, and not seeing you there, I am disappointed.
This is why I come today. Cousin, as I watch you from afar, I see no unbecoming behavior
and hear only good reports of you, which all the more burns me with the wish that you were
a church member. Cousin, I was taught long years ago by kind missionaries to read the
holy book. These godly men taught me also the folly of our old beliefs.
"There is one God who gives reward or punishment to the race of dead men. In the upper region
the Christian dead are gathered in unceasing song and prayer. In the deep pit below, the
sinful ones dance in torturing flames. "Think upon these things, my cousin, and choose
now to avoid the after-doom of hell fire!" Then followed a long silence in which he clasped
tighter and unclasped again his interlocked fingers.
Like instantaneous lightning flashes came pictures of my own mother's making, for she,
too, is now a follower of the new superstition. "Knocking out the chinking of our log cabin,
some evil hand thrust in a burning taper of braided dry grass, but failed of his intent,
for the fire died out and the half-burned brand fell inward to the floor. Directly above
it, on a shelf, lay the holy book. This is what we found after our return from a several
days' visit. Surely some great power is hid in the sacred book!"
Brushing away from my eyes many like pictures, I offered midday meal to the converted Indian
sitting wordless and with downcast face. No sooner had he risen from the table with "Cousin,
I have relished it," than the church bell rang.
Thither he hurried forth with his afternoon sermon. I watched him as he hastened along,
his eyes bent fast upon the dusty road till he disappeared at the end of a quarter of
a mile. The little incident recalled to mind the copy
of a missionary paper brought to my notice a few days ago, in which a "Christian" pugilist
commented upon a recent article of mine, grossly perverting the spirit of my pen. Still I would
not forget that the pale-faced missionary and the hoodooed aborigine are both God's
creatures, though small indeed their own conceptions of Infinite Love. A wee child toddling in
a wonder world, I prefer to their dogma my excursions into the natural gardens where
the voice of the Great Spirit is heard in the twittering of birds, the rippling of mighty
waters, and the sweet breathing of flowers. Here, in a fleeting quiet, I am awakened by
the fluttering robe of the Great Spirit. To my innermost consciousness the phenomenal
universe is a royal mantle, vibrating with His divine breath. Caught in its flowing fringes
are the spangles and oscillating brilliants of sun, moon, and stars.
End of story. Goodnight, Aidan. Sleep tight.
Hello, Aidan. The Owl and the Pussycat by Edward Lear.
The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea In a beautiful pea-green boat,
They took some honey, and plenty of money, Wrapped up in a five-pound note.
The Owl looked up to the stars above, And sang to a small guitar,
'O lovely Pussy! O Pussy, my love, What a beautiful Pussy you are,
You are! You are!
What a beautiful Pussy you are!' Pussy said to the Owl, 'You elegant fowl!'
How charmingly sweet you sing! O let us be married! too long have we tarried:
But what shall we do for a ring?' They sailed away, for a year and a day,
To the land where the Bong-tree grows, And there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood
With a ring in the end of his nose, His nose,
His nose, With a ring at the end of his nose.
'Dear Pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling
Your ring?' Said the Piggy, 'I will.' So they took it away, and were married next
day By the Turkey who lives on the hill.
They dined on mince, and slices of quince, Which they ate with a runcible spoon;
And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand, They danced by the light of the moon,
The moon, The moon,
They danced by the light of the moon. Good evening, Aidan. This is The Wind and
the Sun, a fable by Aesop. The Wind and the Sun were disputing which
was the stronger. Suddenly they saw a traveller coming down the road, and the Sun said: "I
see a way to decide our dispute. Whichever of us can cause that traveller to take off
his cloak shall be regarded as the stronger. You begin." So the Sun retired behind a
cloud, and the Wind began to blow as hard as it could upon the traveller. But the harder
he blew the more closely did the traveller wrap his cloak round him, till at last the
Wind had to give up in despair. Then the Sun came out and shone in all his glory upon the
traveller, who soon found it too hot to walk with his cloak on.
"KINDNESS EFFECTS MORE THAN SEVERITY." Good evening, Aidan.
Wynken, Blynken, and Nod by Eugene Field Wynken, Blynken, and Nod one night
Sailed off in a wooden shoe, Sailed on a river of crystal light
Into a sea of dew. "Where are you going, and what do you wish?"
The old moon asked the three. "We have come to fish for the herring-fish
That live in this beautiful sea; Nets of silver and gold have we,"
Said Wynken, Blynken,
And Nod. The old moon laughed and sang a song,
As they rocked in the wooden shoe; And the wind that sped them all night long
Ruffled the waves of dew; The little stars were the herring-fish
That lived in the beautiful sea. "Now cast your nets wherever you wish,
Never afraid are we!" So cried the stars to the fishermen three,
Wynken, Blynken,
And Nod. All night long their nets they threw
To the stars in the twinkling foam, Then down from the skies came the wooden shoe,
Bringing the fishermen home: 'Twas all so pretty a sail, it seemed
As if it could not be; And some folk thought 'twas a dream they'd
dreamed Of sailing that beautiful sea;
But I shall name you the fishermen three: Wynken,
Blynken, And Nod.
Wynken and Blynken are two little eyes, And Nod is a little head,
And the wooden shoe that sailed the skies Is a wee one's trundle-bed;
So shut your eyes while Mother sings Of wonderful sights that be,
And you shall see the beautiful things As you rock in the misty sea
Where the old shoe rocked the fishermen three: Wynken,
Blynken, And Nod.
For Aidan. Block City by Robert Louis Stevenson
What are you able to build with your blocks? Castles and palaces, temples and docks.
Rain may keep raining, and others go roam, But I can be happy and building at home.
Let the sofa be mountains, the carpet be sea, There I'll establish a city for me:
A kirk and a mill and a palace beside, And a harbor as well where my vessels may
ride. Great is the palace with pillar and wall,
A sort of a tower on top of it all, And steps coming down in an orderly way
To where my toy vessels lie safe in the bay. This one is sailing and that one is moored:
Hark to the song of the sailors on board! And see on the steps of my palace, the kings
Coming and going with presents and things! Now I have done with it, down let it go!
All in moment the town is laid low. Block upon block lying scattered and free,
What is there left of my town by the sea? Yet as I saw it, I see it again,
The kirk and the palace, the ships and the men,
And as long as I live, and where'er I may be,
I'll always remember my town by the sea. The Land of Story-books by Robert Louis Stevenson.
At evening when the lamp is lit, Around the fire my parents sit;
They sit at home and talk and sing, And do not play at anything.
Now, with my little gun, I crawl All in the dark along the wall,
And follow round the forest track Away behind the sofa back.
There, in the night, where none can spy, All in my hunter's camp I lie,
And play at books that I have read Till it is time to go to bed.
These are the hills, these are the woods, These are my starry solitudes;
And there the river by whose brink The roaring lions come to drink.
I see the others far away As if in firelit camp they lay,
And I, like to an Indian scout, Around their party prowled about.
So, when my nurse comes in for me, Home I return across the sea,
And go to bed with backward looks At my dear land of Story-books.
Good night, Aidan. Sleep tight! Hello, Aidan. Have mom and dad tucked the
end? If they have, I'll read you a story called The Badger and the Bear by Sa Zitkala.
On the edge of a forest there lived a large family of badgers. In the ground their dwelling
was made. Its walls and roof were covered with rocks and straw. Old father badger was
a great hunter. He knew well how to track the deer and buffalo. Every day he came home
carrying on his back some wild game. This kept mother badger very busy, and the baby
badgers very chubby. While the well−fed children played about, digging little make−believe
dwellings, their mother hung thin sliced meats upon long willow racks. As fast as the meats
were dried and seasoned by sun and wind, she packed them carefully away in a large thick
bag. This bag was like a huge stiff envelope, but far more beautiful to see, for it was
painted all over with many bright colors. These firmly tied bags of dried meat were
laid upon the rocks in the walls of the dwelling. In this way they were both useful and decorative.
One day father badger did not go off for a hunt. He stayed at home, making new arrows.
His children sat about him on the ground floor. Their small black eyes danced with delight
as they watched the gay colors painted upon the arrows. All of a sudden there was heard
a heavy footfall near the entrance way. The oval−shaped door−frame was pushed aside.
In stepped a large black foot with great big claws. Then the other clumsy foot came next.
All the while the baby badgers stared hard at the unexpected comer. After the second
foot, in peeped the head of a big black bear! His black nose was dry and parched. Silently
he entered the dwelling and sat down on the ground by the doorway. His black eyes never
left the painted bags on the rocky walls. He guessed what was in them. He was a very
hungry bear. Seeing the racks of red meat hanging in the yard, he had come to visit
the badger family. Though he was a stranger and his strong paws and jaws frightened the
small badgers, the father said, «How, how, friend! Your lips and nose look feverish and
hungry. Will you eat with us?» «Yes, my friend,» said the bear. «I am starved. I
saw your racks of red fresh meat, and knowing your heart is kind, I came hither. Give me
meat to eat, my friend.» Hereupon the mother badger took long strides across the room,
and as she had to pass in front of the strange visitor, she said: «Ah han! Allow me to pass!»
which was an apology. «How, how!» replied the bear, drawing himself closer to the wall
and crossing his shins together. Mother badger chose the most tender red meat, and soon over
a bed of coals she broiled the venison. That day the bear had all he could eat. At nightfall
he rose, and smacking his lips together, – that is the noisy way of saying «the food was
very good!» – he left the badger dwelling. The baby badgers, peeping through the door−flap
after the shaggy bear, saw him disappear into the woods near by. Day after day the crackling
of twigs in the forest told of heavy footsteps. Out would come the same black bear. He never
lifted the door−flap, but thrusting it aside entered slowly in. Always in the same place
by the entrance way he sat down with crossed shins. His daily visits were so regular that
mother badger placed a fur rug in his place. She did not wish a guest in her dwelling to
sit upon the bare hard ground. At last one time when the bear returned, his nose was
bright and black. His coat was glossy. He had grown fat upon the badger's hospitality.
As he entered the dwelling a pair of wicked gleams shot out of his shaggy head. Surprised
by the strange behavior of the guest who remained standing upon the rug, leaning his round back
against the wall, father badger queried: «How, my friend! What?» The bear took one stride
forward and shook his paw in the badger's face. He said: «I am strong, very strong!»
«Yes, yes, so you are,» replied the badger. From the farther end of the room mother badger
muttered over her bead work: «Yes, you grew strong from our well−filled bowls.» The
bear smiled, showing a row of large sharp teeth. «I have no dwelling. I have no bags
of dried meat. I have no arrows. All these I have found here on this spot,» said he,
stamping his heavy foot. «I want them! See! I am strong!» repeated he, lifting both his
terrible paws. Quietly the father badger spoke: «I fed you. I called you friend, though you
came here a stranger and a beggar. For the sake of my little ones leave us in peace.»
Mother badger, in her excited way, had pierced hard through the buckskin and stuck her fingers
repeatedly with her sharp awl until she had laid aside her work. Now, while her husband
was talking to the bear, she motioned with her hands to the children. On tiptoe they
hastened to her side. For reply came a low growl. It grew louder and more fierce. «Wa−ough!»
he roared, and by force hurled the badgers out. First the father badger; then the mother.
The little badgers he tossed by pairs. He threw them hard upon the ground. Standing
in the entrance way and showing his ugly teeth, he snarled, «Be gone!» The father and mother
badger, having gained their feet, picked up their kicking little babes, and, wailing aloud,
drew the air into their flattened lungs till they could stand alone upon their feet. No
sooner had the baby badgers caught their breath than they howled and shrieked with pain and
fright. Ah! what a dismal cry was theirs as the whole badger family went forth wailing
from out their own dwelling! A little distance away from their stolen house the father badger
built a small round hut. He made it of bent willows and covered it with dry grass and
twigs. This was shelter for the night; but alas! it was empty of food and arrows. All
day father badger prowled through the forest, but without his arrows he could not get food
for his children. Upon his return, the cry of the little ones for meat, the sad quiet
of the mother with bowed head, hurt him like a poisoned arrow wound. «I'll beg meat for
you!» said he in an unsteady voice. Covering his head and entire body in a long loose robe
he halted beside the big black bear. The bear was slicing red meat to hang upon the rack.
He did not pause for a look at the comer. As the badger stood there unrecognized, he
saw that the bear had brought with him his whole family. Little cubs played under the
high−hanging new meats. They laughed and pointed with their wee noses upward at the
thin sliced meats upon the poles. «Have you no heart, Black Bear? My children are starving.
Give me a small piece of meat for them,» begged the badger. «Wa−ough!» growled
the angry bear, and pounced upon the badger. «Be gone!» said he, and with his big hind
foot he sent father badger sprawling on the ground. All the little ruffian bears hooted
and shouted «ha−ha!» to see the beggar fall upon his face. There was one, however,
who did not even smile. He was the youngest cub. His fur coat was not as black and glossy
as those his elders wore. The hair was dry and dingy. It looked much more like kinky
wool. He was the ugly cub. Poor little baby bear! he had always been laughed at by his
older brothers. He could not help being himself. He could not change the differences between
himself and his brothers. Thus again, though the rest laughed aloud at the badger's fall,
he did not see the joke. His face was long and earnest. In his heart he was sad to see
the badgers crying and starving. In his breast spread a burning desire to share his food
with them. «I shall not ask my father for meat to give away. He would say 'No!' Then
my brothers would laugh at me,» said the ugly baby bear to himself. In an instant,
as if his good intention had passed from him, he was singing happily and skipping around
his father at work. Singing in his small high voice and dragging his feet in long strides
after him, as if a prankish spirit oozed out from his heels, he strayed off through the
tall grass. He was ambling toward the small round hut. When directly in front of the entrance
way, he made a quick side kick with his left hind leg. Lo! there fell into the badger's
hut a piece of fresh meat. It was tough meat, full of sinews, yet it was the only piece
he could take without his father's notice. Thus having given meat to the hungry badgers,
the ugly baby bear ran quickly away to his father again. On the following day the father
badger came back once more. He stood watching the big bear cutting thin slices of meat.
« Give – » he began, when the bear turning upon him with a growl, thrust him cruelly
aside. The badger fell on his hands. He fell where the grass was wet with the blood of
the newly carved buffalo. His keen starving eyes caught sight of a little red clot lying
bright upon the green. Looking fearfully toward the bear and seeing his head was turned away,
he snatched up the small thick blood. Underneath his girdled blanket he hid it in his hand.
On his return to his family, he said within himself : «I'll pray the Great Spirit to
bless it.» Thus he built a small round lodge. Sprinkling water upon the heated heap of sacred
stones within, he made ready to purge his body. «The buffalo blood, too, must be purified
before I ask a blessing upon it,» thought the badger. He carried it into the sacred
vapor lodge. After placing it near the sacred stones, he sat down beside it. After a long
silence, he muttered: «Great Spirit, bless this little buffalo blood.» Then he arose,
and with a quiet dignity stepped out of the lodge. Close behind him some one followed.
The badger turned to look over his shoulder and to his great joy he beheld a Dakota brave
in handsome buckskins. In his hand he carried a magic arrow. Across his back dangled a long
fringed quiver. In answer to the badger's prayer, the avenger had sprung from out the
red globules. «My son!» exclaimed the badger with extended right hand. «How, father,»
replied the brave; «I am your avenger!» Immediately the badger told the sad story
of his hungry little ones and the stingy bear. Listening closely the young man stood looking
steadily upon the ground. At length the father badger moved away. «Where?» queried the
avenger. «My son, we have no food. I am going again to beg for meat,» answered the badger.
«Then I go with you,» replied the young brave. This made the old badger happy. He
was proud of his son. He was delighted to be called «father» by the first human creature.
The bear saw the badger coming in the distance. He narrowed his eyes at the tall stranger
walking beside him. He spied the arrow. At once he guessed it was the avenger of whom
he had heard long, long ago. As they approached, the bear stood erect with a hand on his thigh.
He smiled upon them. «How, badger, my friend! Here is my knife. Cut your favorite pieces
from the deer,» said he, holding out a long thin blade. «How!» said the badger eagerly.
He wondered what had inspired the big bear to such a generous deed. The young avenger
waited till the badger took the long knife in his hand. Gazing full into the black bear's
face, he said: «I come to do justice. You have returned only a knife to my poor father.
Now return to him his dwelling.» His voice was deep and powerful. In his black eyes burned
a steady fire. The long strong teeth of the bear rattled against each other, and his shaggy
body shook with fear. «Ahow!» cried he, as if he had been shot. Running into the dwelling
he gasped, breathless and trembling, «Come out, all of you! This is the badger's dwelling.
We must flee to the forest for fear of the avenger who carries the magic arrow.» Out
they hurried, all the bears, and disappeared into the woods. Singing and laughing, the
badgers returned to their own dwelling. Then the avenger left them. «I go,» said he in
parting, «over the earth.» Pussy-cat Mew from Mother Goose in Prose by
L. Frank Baum Hello, Aidan.
"Pussy-cat, Pussy-cat, where do you go?" "To London, to visit the palace, you know."
"Pussy-cat Mew, wily you come back again?" "Oh, yes! I 'll scamper with might and with
main!" Pussy-cat Mew set off on her way,
Stepping quite softly and feeling quite gay. Smooth was the road, so she traveled at ease,
Warmed by the sunshine and fanned by the breeze. Over the hills to the valleys below,
Through the deep woods where the soft mosses grow,
Skirting the fields, with buttercups dotted, Swiftly our venturesome Pussy-cat trotted.
Sharp watch she kept when a village she neared, For boys and their mischief our Pussy-cat
feared! Often she crept through the grasses so deep
To pass by a dog that was lying asleep. Once, as she walked through a sweet-clover
field, Something beside her affrightedly squealed,
And swift from her path there darted away A tiny field-mouse, with a coat of soft gray.
"Nowhere," thought our Pussy, "is chance for a dinner;
The one that runs fastest must surely be winner!" So quickly she started the mouse to give chase,
And over the clover they ran a great race. But just when it seemed that Pussy would win,
The mouse spied a hole and quickly popped in;
And so he escaped, for the hole was so small That Pussy-cat could n't squeeze in it at
all. So, softly she crouched, and with eyes big
and round Quite steadily watched that small hole in
the ground "This mouse really thinks he 's escaped me,"
she said, "But I 'll catch him sure if he sticks out
his head!" But while she was watching the poor mouse's
plight, A deep growl behind made her jump with affright;
She gave a great cry, and then started to run
As swift as a bullet that 's shot from a gun! "Meow! Oh, meow "our poor Puss did say;
"Bow-wow!" cried the dog, who was not far away.
O'er meadows and ditches they scampered apace, O'er fences and hedges they kept up the race!
Then Pussy-cat Mew saw before her a tree, And knew that a safe place of refuge 't would
be; So far up the tree with a bound she did go,
And left the big dog to growl down below. But now, by good fortune, a man came that
way, And called to the dog, who was forced to obey;
But Puss did not come down the tree till she knew
That the man and the dog were far out of view. Pursuing her way, at nightfall she came
To London, a town you know well by name; And wandering 'round in byway and street,
A strange Pussy-cat she happened to meet. "Good evening," said Pussy-cat Mew. "Can you
tell In which of these houses the Queen may now
dwell? I 'm a stranger in town, and I 'm anxious
to see What sort of a person a real Queen may be."
"My friend," said the other, "you really must know
It is n't permitted that strangers should go
Inside of the palace, unless they 're invited, And stray Pussy-cats are apt to be slighted.
"By good luck, however, I 'm quite well aware Of a way to the palace by means of a stair
That never is guarded; so just come with me, And a glimpse of the Queen you shall certainly
see." Puss thanked her new friend, and together
they stole To the back of the palace, and crept through
a hole In the fence, and quietly came to the stair
Which the stranger Pussy-cat promised was there.
"Now here I must leave you," the strange Pussy said,
"So do n't be 'fraid-cat, but go straight ahead,
And do n't be alarmed if by chance you are seen,
For people will think you belong to the Queen." So Pussy-cat Mew did as she had been told,
And walked through the palace with manner so bold
She soon reached the room where the Queen sat in state,
Surrounded by lords and by ladies so great. And there in the corner our Pussy sat down,
And gazed at the scepter and blinked at the crown,
And eyed the Queen's dress, all purple and gold;
Which was surely a beautiful sight to behold. But all of a sudden she started, for there
Was a little gray mouse, right under the chair Where her Majesty sat, and Pussy well knew
She 'd scream with alarm if the mouse met her view.
So up toward the chair our Pussy-cat stole, But the mouse saw her coming and ran for its
hole; But Pussy ran after, and during the race
A wonderful, terrible panic took place! The ladies all jumped on their chairs in alarm,
The lords drew their swords to protect them from harm,
And the Queen gave a scream and fainted away-- A very undignified act, I must say.
And some one cried "Burglars!" and some one cried "Treason!"
And some one cried "Murder!" but none knew the reason;
And some one cried "Fire! they are burning the house!"
And some one cried "Silence! it 's only a mouse!"
But Pussy-cat Mew was so awfully scared By the shouting and screaming, no longer she
dared To stay in the room; so without more delay
She rushed from the palace and scampered away! So bristling her fur, and with heart beating
fast, She came to the road leading homeward at last.
"What business," she thought, "has a poor country cat
To visit a city of madmen like that? "Straight homeward I 'll go, where I am well
fed, Where mistress is kind, and soft is my bed;
Let other cats travel, if they wish to roam, But as for myself, I shall now stay at home."
And now over hills and valleys she ran, And journeyed as fast as a Pussy-cat can;
Till just as the dawn of the day did begin She, safely at home, stole quietly in.
And there was the fire, with the pot boiling on it,
And there was the maid, in the blue checkered bonnet
And there was the corner where Pussy oft basked, And there was the mistress, who eagerly asked:
"Pussy-cat, Pussy-cat, where have you been?" "I 've been to London, to visit the Queen."
"Pussy-cat, Pussy-cat, what did you there?" "I frightened a little mouse under her chair!"
End of Pussy-cat Mew. Sleep well, Aidan. Good evening, Aidan. Tonight I'd like to read
you a true story. It comes from a history book called Northumberland Yesterday and Today
by Jean F. Terry. This story takes place a long, long time ago in the Northern lands
of what we now call England and tells the story of a humble and holy man, whose name
you'll come to recognise.
In the days of King Edwin, who succeeded Ethelfrith,
Bamburgh was the centre of a kingdom which extended from the
Humber to the Forth, and as Northumbria was at that time the most important
division of England, the royal city of Bernicia was practically the
capital of the country. The reign of King Oswald, though shorter than
that of Edwin, was equally noteworthy from the fact that in his days
the gentle Aidan settled in Northumbria, and king and monk worked together
for the good of their people, and Bamburgh became not only the seat
of temporal power but the safeguard and bulwark of the spiritual movement
centred on the little isle of Lindisfarne. On the accession of Edwin,
Oswald, son of Ethelfrith, had fled from Bernicia and taken
refuge with the monks of Iona, living with them till the time came
for him to rule Northumbria in his turn. As soon as possible after the inevitable
fighting for his political existence was over, he sent to Iona
for a teacher to come and instruct his people in the truths he had learned;
and a monk named Corman was sent. He, however, was unable to
make any impression on the wild and warlike Saxons of the northern kingdom,
and he soon returned to Iona with the report that it was useless to
try to teach such obstinate and barbarous people. One of the brethren,
listening to his account, ventured to ask him if he were sure that all
the fault lay with the people. "Did you remember," said he, "that
we are commanded to give them the milk first? Did you not rather try them
with the strong meat?" With one accord the brethren declared that he who
had spoken such wise words was the man best fitted for the task, and
the gentle Aidan was sent to Oswald's help. In such a fashion came the
Gospel to Northumbria, and Aidan became the first of the long roll of
saints whose deeds and lives had such incalculable influence on Northumbrian
history. From Aidan's arrival in 635 until the death of Oswald the
relations between the king and the monk who had settled on Medcaud or
Medcaut, soon to be known as Lindisfarne, and later as Holy Island, were
those of friend to friend and fellow-worker, rather than those of king
and subject. After the death of Oswald, his conqueror Penda,
the fierce King of the Mercians, harried Northumbria, and appearing
before the walls of Bamburgh prepared to burn it down. Piles of
logs and brushwood were laid against the city and the fire was applied.
Aidan, in his little cell on Farne Island, to which he had retired, saw
the clouds of flame and smoke rolling over the home of his beloved patron.
Raising his hands to Heaven, he exclaimed, "See, Lord, what ill
Penda is doing!" Scarcely had he uttered the words, when the wind changed,
and drove the flames away from Bamburgh, blowing them against Penda's
host, who thereupon ceased all further attempts against the city.
Not long after this, Aidan was at Bamburgh, when he was seized with
sudden illness, and died with his head resting against one of the wooden
stays of the little church. Penda came again the next year, and this
time both village and church were burnt, all except, says tradition,
the beam of wood against which Aidan had rested in his last moments.
Good night, Aidan. Sweet dreams!

✅ 'Deus Salve o Rei': Amália dispensa Afonso por gravidez de Catarina. 'Acabou' - Duration: 4:01.
Amália (Marina Ruy Barbosa) não vai aceitar a gravidez de Catarina (Bruna Marquezine) na novela "Deus Salve o Rei" e terminará com Afonso (Romulo Estrela) nos próximos capítulos da trama das sete
A vilã conseguirá concluir seu objetivo de separar o casal depois de fazer com o que o monarca acredite que a engravidou e espalhar por todo o reinado que os dois terão um filho juntos
As cenas estão previstas para irem ao ar partir do dia 6 de julho. Catarina faz Afonso acreditar ser pai de seu filho De acordo com informações adiantadas pelo colunista Daniel Castro, Catarina, desesperada ao descobrir que está grávida de Otávio (Alexandre Borges), tem a ajuda de Brice (Bia Arantes) para conseguir enfeitiçar o homem que só aceitou se casar com ela para ter um empréstimo e ajudar Montemor, mas a negou na lua de mel
Ao ouvir de Catarina que eles terão um filho juntos, Afonso, que ficou fora de si com o efeito da magia, diz não se lembrar de nada que aconteceu na noite em questão mas acaba acreditando no que a esposa conta
Afonso tenta se explicar para Amália Sem saber que se trata de um plano, Afonso assumirá a responsabilidade da paternidade e tentará se explicar para Amália, que já saberá de tudo já que Catarina terá feito questão de fazer com que a notícia do futuro herdeiro dos reinos chegue até ela
"Então é verdade?! Catarina está mesmo esperando um filho seu?", questiona Amália, furiosa, ao entrar no castelo do rei
Afonso tenta se explicar: "Eu não sei como isso aconteceu. Eu me senti mal uma noite
É difícil de explicar! Eu bebi um pouco de vinho, antes de dormir e adormeci. Eu tive um sonho com você
Nem eu entendo direito! Foi tudo muito confuso". "Você me prometeu que era um casamento de fachada, que você não tocaria em um fio de cabelo de Catarina! E agora
Aquela mulher espera um filho seu!", grita a mocinha. Amália dispensa Afonso: 'Não me procure mais' Espantado com a reação de Amália, Afonso garante que Cataria jamais terá seu amor e que nada vai mudar entre os dois, mas a plebeia discorda
"Já mudou, Afonso! Você e Catarina agora estão ligados por esse filho. Vocês serão uma família! Não existe mais espaço pra mim na sua vida", lamenta ela, deixando o amado ainda mais preocupado: "Do que você está falando?! Você é a minha vida, Amália!" "Isso já não é mais sobre nós dois, ou mesmo Catarina
É sobre uma criança que vai nascer. O seu filho!", explica a jovem que terá ajuda de Virgílio (Ricardo Pereira) para desmascarar a rival
"Sim, meu filho! E ele terá todo o meu amor. Mas isso não quer dizer que eu preciso ficar casado com a mãe dele pelo resto da vida
Amália, nós já enfrentamos tantas dificuldades e vencemos todas elas!", relembra Afonso
"Dessa vez é diferente. Não há o que fazer. Acabou", declara Amália. "Não. Por favor! Amália! Não
Não diga isso! Nós vamos encontrar um jeito de.", implora, mas ela é firme: "Eu te peço, por favor, não me procure mais"

✅ 【世足賽】德國首戰爆冷敗 3魔咒擋衛冕路 - Duration: 3:03.
上屆冠軍德國隊首戰以0比1敗給墨西哥，不但爆出本屆最 冷門，還慘遭3大魔咒纏身，衛冕之路險峻
而近5屆世足賽冠軍，有4隊無法在下屆首戰取勝，只有2 06年的巴西得以倖免。墨西哥在上半場第35分鐘，靠著 小豌豆」厄南德茲(Javier Hernandez) 攻，由洛薩諾(Hirving Lozano)破網，但 德國攻、守都沒有因此醒過來，幾次稍微有效的攻勢，也被 將沒收，終致不幸吞敗
世足從1962年巴西連霸以來，已連續13屆沒國家能衛 ，德國首場敗給墨西哥，顯然魔咒已經發酵
另個魔咒是，從1998年起，在世界盃奪冠的歐洲球隊都 法在下一屆分組賽出線，德國接下來對瑞典與南韓，都非贏 可，恐怕連和局都不行
德國還面臨了另一項洲際國家盃(Confederati ns Cup)奪冠魔咒。從2001年開始由世界盃主辦 、六大洲和上屆世界盃冠軍，共8隊參賽，每屆贏得洲際國 盃冠軍隊伍，在世界盃都注定無法奪冠
德國輸給F組實力評估次佳的墨西哥，屈居分組第2的可能 頗高，很可能在16強淘汰賽遭遇巴西，屆時戰前奪冠賠率 2名的球隊得直接對決，先做掉一隊
就輸掉一場比賽，場場不利狀況都指向德國隊。【陳國偉／ 合報導】
