The clitoris is a sexual organ that is present in biologically female mammals. In humans, the visible button-like portion is located near the anterior junction of the labia minora, above the opening of the urethra and vagina. Unlike the penis, which is homologous to the clitoris, the clitoris does not contain the distal portion of the urethra and functions solely to induce sexual pleasure. The only known exception to this is in the Spotted Hyena. In this species, the urogenital system is unique in that the female urinates, mates and gives birth via an enlarged, erectile clitoris, known as a pseudo-penis.[1]

The word is pronounced /ˈklɪtɒrɪs/ (listen) or /klɪˈtɔərɪs/ (listen). The plural forms are clitorises in English and clitorides in Latin. In slang, it is sometimes abbreviated as clit, which originated in the 1960s. The OED suggests that the pronunciation /ˈklaɪtɒrɪs/) is also used in the UK, and gives the likely etymology as coming from the Greek κλειτορἰς, perhaps derived from the verb κλεἰ-ειν, to shut. The Online Etymology Dictionary maintains that the etymology of this diminutive is still uncertain noting that many sources take kleitoris "Κλειτορίδ" literally from the Greek "little hill". Other etymological candidates are key or latch, to touch or titillate lasciviously, to tickle, to be inclined (toward pleasure) and slope, from the same root as climax. It has been noted in German as der Kitzler meaning "the tickler".
Its Latin genitive is clitoridis, as in "glans clitoridis".
Development and formation
At the time of development of the urinary and reproductive organs in embryogenesis the previously undifferentiated genital tubercle develops into the clitoris or the penis, along with all other major organ systems, making them homologous. [2]
The head or glans of the clitoris is a simple bundle of 8000 nerve fibers, estimated to be twice the number found in the penis [3]making it particularly well-suited for sexual stimulation.
The clitoris is a complex structure that includes the external and internal components. Visible to the eye is the clitoral hood (prepuce), which in full or part covers the head (clitoral glans), shaft and inner lips (labia minora). Inside the body are the legs or clitoral crura, urethral sponge, clitoral bulb (previously referred to as vestibule bulb) and corpora, perineal sponge, a network of nerves and blood vessels, suspensory ligaments, muscles and pelvic diaphragm.[2] The clitoris extends from the front commissure where the edges of the outer lips (labia majora) meet at the base of the pubic mound to the fourchette.[4] In humans, the clitoral shaft then extends several centimeters upwards and to the back, before splitting into the two legs, and shaped like an inverted "V", these crura extend around and to the interior of the outer labia.
There is considerable variation with regard to how much of the clitoris protrudes from the hood and how much is covered by it, ranging from complete, covered invisibility to full, protruding visibility. An article published in the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology in July 1992 states that the average width of the clitoral glans lies within the range of 2.5 – 4.5 mm (0.10-0.18 in) indicating that the average size is smaller than a pencil eraser. There is no correlation between the size of a clitoris and the person's age, neither to being post-menopausal, nor to height, weight or use of oral contraceptives. Those who have given birth do tend to have slightly larger measurements.
Masters and Johnson were the first to determine that the clitoral structures surround and extend along the vagina, determining that all orgasms are of clitoral origin. [5] More recently, Australian urologist Dr. Helen O'Connell using MRI technology noted a direct relationship between the legs or roots of the clitoris and the erectile tissue of the clitoral bulbs and corpora, and the distal urethra and vagina. [6]She asserts that this interconnected relationship is the physiological explanation for the G-spot and experience of vaginal orgasm taking into account the stimulation of the internal parts of the clitoris during vaginal penetration. [7] Some individuals who experience orgasm from both direct clitoral stimulation of the glans and vaginal access to the internal bodies may distinguish between them in terms of both the physical and general sensations associated with each.
During sexual arousal and during orgasm, the clitoris and the whole of the genitalia engorge and change color as these erectile tissues fill with blood, and the individual experiences vaginal contractions. Masters and Johnson documented the sexual response cycle, which has four phases and is still the clinically accepted definition of the human orgasm. More recent research has determined that some can experience a sustained intense orgasm through stimulation of the clitoris and remain in the orgasmic phase for much longer than the original studies indicate, evidenced by genital engorgement and color changes, and vaginal contractions. [8]
Recognition of existence
For more than 2,500 years the clitoris and the penis were considered equivalent in all respects except their arrangement.[4] Medical literature first recognized the existence of the clitoris in the 16th century[citation needed]. This is the subject of some dispute: Realdo Colombo (also known as Matteo Renaldo Colombo) was a lecturer in surgery at the University of Padua, Italy, and in 1559 he published a book called De re anatomica in which he described the "seat of woman's delight". Colombo concluded, "Since no one has discerned these projections and their workings, if it is permissible to give names to things discovered by me, it should be called the love or sweetness of Venus."
Colombo's claim was disputed by his successor at Padua, Gabriele Falloppio (who discovered the fallopian tube), who claimed that he was the first to discover the clitoris. Caspar Bartholin, a 17th century Danish anatomist, dismissed both claims, arguing that the clitoris had been widely known to medical science since the 2nd century. Indeed, Hippocrates used the term columella (little pillar). Avicenna named the clitoris the albatra or virga (rod). Albucasis, an Arabic medical authority, named it tentigo (tension). It was also known to the Romans, who named it landica. (The Latin Sexual Vocabulary by J.N. Adams Baltimore: The Johns Hopkins University Press, 1982. pp. 95-6.)
This cycle of suppression and discovery continued, notably in the work of De Graaf (Tractatus de Virorum Organis Generationi Inservientibus, De Mulierub Organis Generationi Inservientibus Tractatus Novus) in the 17th century and Kobelt (Die männlichen und weiblichen Wollustorgane des Menschen und einiger Säugethiere) in the 19th.
The full extent of the clitoris was alluded to by Masters and Johnson in 1966, but in such a muddled fashion that the significance of their description became obscured. That same year, feminist psychiatrist Mary Jane Sherfey published an article on female sexuality that described in detail the extensive nature of the internal anatomy of the clitoris and in 1981, the Federation of Feminist Women's Health Clinics (FFWHC) continued this process with anatomically precise illustrations. [4] Today, MRI compliments these efforts, as it is both a live and multiplanar method of examination [9].
Female genital modification
Main article: genital modification and mutilation
The external part of the clitoris may be partially or totally removed during female genital cutting, also known as a clitoridectomy, female circumcision, or female genital mutilation (FGM); this may be a voluntary or involuntary procedure. The topic is highly controversial with many countries condemning the traditions that give rise to involuntary procedures, and with some countries outlawing even voluntary procedures. Amnesty International estimates that over 2 million involuntary female circumcisions are being performed every year, mainly in African countries.
In various cultures, the clitoris is sometimes pierced directly. In U.S. body modification culture, it is actually extremely rare for the clitoral shaft itself to be pierced, as of the already few people who desire the piercing, only a small percentage are anatomically suited for it; furthermore, most piercing artists are understandably reluctant to attempt such a delicate procedure. Some styles, such as the Isabella, and the Nefertiti do pass through the clitoris but are placed deep at the base, where they provide unique stimulation; they still require the proper genital build, but are more common than shaft piercings. Additionally, what is (erroneously) referred to as a "clit piercing" is almost always the much more common (and much less complicated) clitoral hood piercing.
Enlargement may be intentional or unintentional. Those taking hormones and/or other medications as part of female-to-male transition usually experience dramatic clitoral growth; individual desires (and the difficulties of surgical phalloplasty) often result in the retention of the original genitalia, the enlarged clitoris analogous to a penis as part of the transition. On the other hand, use of anabolic steroids by bodybuilders and other athletes can result in significant enlargement of the clitoris in concert with other masculinizing effects on their bodies. Temporary engorgement results from suction pumping, practiced to enhance sexual pleasure or for aesthetic purposes.
Intersex and transgender people
Intersex people
Further information: Genital integrity
Some intersex infants (who may be genetically XX or chimera) are born with ambiguous genitalia, and are assigned a female gender role by doctors. The doctors often reduce or remove the infant's clitoris, if they view it as being "too large" or "too penile". This procedure is controversial because it destroys nerve endings that are central to the intersex person's sexual satisfaction, and in some cases, can make it impossible for the individual to orgasm. Clitoral reduction in infants is medically unnecessary. Many intersex people protest medically unnecessary genital surgery on infants; asserting that ambiguous genitals are not incompatible with quality of life, and that people have the right to choose whether to elect for cosmetic surgery on their genitals.[10] Intersex people and their supporters who support ending medically unnecessary surgery on intersex infants comprise part of the genital integrity movement.
Transwomen
Main articles: Vaginoplasty#Neoclitoris and Sex reassignment surgery (male-to-female)
Transwomen who undergo sex reassignment surgery may choose to have their surgeon design a clitoris, using their existing genital tissue. The new clitoris may be referred to as a neoclitoris.

Alfama is in essence a great neighborhood to get beautifully deep into and find kids playing soccer, neighbors chit chatting or putting the laundry out to dry. The tiny streets are one of the most enigmatic Lisbon trademarks, here you'll find that the most traditional part of the city is also full of this beautiful streets.
Alfama is like a country side neighborhood right in the center of a city.
Many places worth to visit in the surroundings. Sé Catedral and one of the many miradouros (viewpoints). Miradouro Portas do Solwith its absolutely gorgeous panoramic views facing east and southwest of the city, respectively. Both are great places to grab a cup of wine and take it all in.


The argument for games as a form of art has long been settled (spoiler alert: they are). As more and more developers choose to make beautiful and profound experiences, new ideas and approaches enter the PS4 library with each passing week.
Vane is a title for PS4 that showcases a wonderful art style and the promise to tell a story without words. It looks great in motion, but how does it play, and more importantly, how does it rank among the masterful titles within its genre? It's time to find out if Vane soars high or if this bird is in for a crash landing.
Vane immediately grabs your attention with its vast open areas and the unique art style that gives everything a shimmer like the surface of a painting. You start the game with a pulse-pounding sequence that transitions into a calmer segment.
In the first sequence, you're a person, but in the next you're a blackbird perched upon a barren tree. As promised, there are no words to explain what has transpired. Instead, you're simply instructed on how to flap your wings and fly out into the vast desert before you.
It's refreshing at first. Not being tied down to a fixed path allows you to soar, dive, and explore to your heart's content. The controls are simple enough, but the camera quickly proves to be an erratic element.
At times, the camera pulls in close to frame a great shot, but it fails to pull back out when you're making quick movements, which creates a jarring sense of motion if you need to make a tight turn or decide to dive for a boost of speed.
This opening segment in the desert also highlights some of the problems with Vane's wordless storytelling. There's no real direction on what to do next. Now, normally this wouldn't be an issue, but Vane's opening area is so incredibly vast that wonder and exploration quickly turn to frustration as you hunt down the next step in your journey.
Even knowing what to do will still leave you with the task of finding specific elements in the vast desert before you. This problem becomes less of an issue as you progress into the game, thanks to smaller underground areas where you transform between a child and the bird to solve puzzles.
The problem creeps up again in the final acts, however, as you're once again in a large environment with zero guidance on what to do next. There's something to be said about the freedom of wandering and exploring at your own pace, but at a certain pace even this sense of wonder wears off.
Movement as the child is a little floaty, but I found the basic platforming and puzzles to be fine, even with the lofty controls. In total, Vane will last you about four hours or so, but this could easily be longer if you ignore walkthroughs or become lost trying to progress.
The wordless storytelling is interesting, but it leaves far too many questions unanswered about the nature of the world, your journey, and the meaning of it all. That's not to say that stories require words, but Vane would have benefited from more cutscenes and events that flesh out the world.
As an artistic adventure, Vane succeeds in conveying both mystery and intrigue, but the sheer lack of guidance and issues with both the camera and controls stop it from being a true masterpiece.
Vane is wonderful from a visual perspective. The game never quite reaches the same visual high as that opening desert segment, but there are some contenders later in the game that will offer a treat for the senses.
The soundtrack is a standout element here. Where most games like this lean on an orchestral selection of sounds, Vane instead chooses to provide a rhythmic soundscape filled with synthesizers and percussion.
The thumping rhythms and vibrant notes add a sense of eeriness and uncertainty to the gameplay, which does a great job of fueling the game's atmosphere. Ultimately, Vane has a lot of great elements, but the lack of a strong emotional hook or truly compelling gameplay left me wanting more from this journey into a beautiful and haunting world.


So, the Pantheacon schedule is out now… And I'm on it!
This will be an evolution of the devotional I led at last Pantheacon, likely with more drumming and dancing–the details aren't final yet. More news as it happens.
If you're going to be at Pantheacon 2016, I hope to see you there. Don't hesitate to introduce yourself, but be warned that I may be thoroughly godsmacked.
Faith is a tricky subject; there are at least two things it can mean. You can have faith that something exists, even if you don't have proof. This is what most people mean, or at least seem to mean, when they talk about religious faith.
Then there's keeping faith with–keeping promises and commitments, fulfilling obligations, that sort of thing. This is where I'm a bad polytheist, or at least a sloppy one. I don't (usually) have trouble with the first kind of faith, but I often have trouble with the second.
Part of the problem is that I don't know much about Melek Ta'us except what I've learned in Feri classes. I'm not sure what to do, to keep faith. Most of the sources I've found so far are either generically Feri/Pagan, or very outdated (and often blatantly racist) studies of Yezidi religion.
I am doubtless over thinking it. Keep it simple, yeah?


Junior Achievement of Southern Nevada honored community volunteers and partners who have supported the nonprofit's mission.
The group's K-12 programs teach students skills needed to achieve economic success and plan for their future.
Four hundred guests attended the event at Aria, which included dinner and music by Jeremy Cromwell. Donna Haberman, vice president, retail market manager at Nevada State Bank, received the Volunteer of the Year award.


My goals? Write music every day, expand my catalog, three submissions a week, and start getting placements!
Hope everybody can make their goals in 2019!
Haha nice. I have the opposite problem... get too caught up in the editing stages rather than just getting the main thing done. Something I'm working on!
Those are some big goals! Best of luck with them all - can't wait to hear the results. Especially like your studio skill set goals... that's a good idea!
Nicely done! I'm sure you'll succeed based on all those placements you've been getting recently!
I resigned from ASCAP and will be working to get with BMI in the spring.
Welcome to the BMI club.
You did not - but I'm adding it to my list!! Thank you I've read a handful of books in that area but not that one yet. The first one that got me hooked was "The Power of Habit", that one rocked my world. I just finished up another amazing one, "Atomic Habits". That one too is quite the game changer. Already seeing some great results.
Looking forward to 2019 and seeing everyone's successes!
Haven't heard that one in a while! Happy New Year to you Casey!
Nice, Ed! That first one is a winner for sure... best of luck to you this year!
My performance schedule is slower in January and June, so I'm using that time to work on studio skills. I bought a 30 day pass for Groove 3. It has been a great value especially with helping me understand EDM production techniques.
The cue/instro production schedule (150/year) was designed so that I did not have time to overthink, overwrite and overproduce. Unfortunate I have a tendency to do all three. To create that volume, I no longer have time to indulge myself.
Lastly, the song production schedule (50/year) is a big reach. The key for me is to collaboration with others and not to spend so much time and effort working alone.

i was looking through an electronic folder on the computer of old pictures and came across photos from the first day we brought leko home. oh my goodness, my heart burst looking back at how tiny he was!!! it's hard to remember that he was actually once that small!
i couldn't resist sharing this picture. even though it's a little blurry i love it so much. it was the first time he sat in our bed and he was so small compared to the bed. i'm so happy that seven years later he still loves to cuddle up in bed with us. what a cutie!
Oh he is so cute. Day one he claimed the bed. How adorable.

The second Oliver was first on screen in the beginning of season 6, I was in love. And then he turned out to be *cool*.
when he tells him to get off his butt and start saving the world
Word. That's exactly why I like him so much. Everyone else is so bogged down in the Smallville drama, yet Oliver just tells Clark to stop moping like no one else does. My favorite conversations with the two of them are where Oliver is exasperated at Clark and his being such a stationary lump and not wanting to forge ahead.
From: tariel22 Date: June 15th, 2008 07:21 pm (UTC) (Link)
I fell in love with JH when I saw the Aquaman Pilot the summer before S6, and I was thrilled when he showed up on Smallville. His character is so satisfying to me as a hero. I don't agree with all his tactics, but I understand them. When Oliver said these words to Lois at the end of Justice, I said to myself, that's exactly what Clark needs to say to Lana:
Because there are more important things in this world than what I want, and what I love.
It made me feel like, the writers know exactly how to write Clark, they just aren't allowed to because it will make him progress too fast, and then the show will be over. And AlMiles and the network didn't want that, at least not in S6.
I can see that it must seem crazy to Ollie, someone with no superpowers who risks his life every day to fight the good fight, and who sacrifices his own personal happiness for the greater good, that Clark continues to stay in Smallville and play farmer. I hope that changes in S8.
Oh, my. I do go on and on, don't I? Sorry. :)
Clark really is such a bumbling, selfish fool compared to Oliver. I mean, in Justice, like you pointed out, Oliver made a sacrifice. Clark stayed on the stupid farm because he had his thing with Lana still (and forever). Gah.
Clark really needs to get off that farm. Shouldn't he be interested in journalism by now or something? He wrote some articles for the Torch in high school (maybe) and then we haven't seen him even crack open a book since then. What does he even *do* all day?
Hopefully Ollie will kick him into shape.

The Isms of March! Thinking Critically about Society Seminar Series Announced!
February 9, 2018 oldcapitolbooksmonterey
We're back at it again with a series of seminars The Isms of March as part of our Thinking Critically about Society series. We'll be joined by CSU Monterey Bay professors, local poets, and critically thinkers just like you to help tackle some of the different ideologies and theories that we've been hearing about.
Friday 9 March – 7pm: What is Anarchism?
Friday 16 March – 7pm: Understanding Neoliberalism
Friday 23 March – 7pm: Reading Marx
Friday 30 March – 7pm: Exploring Primitivism
Facilitated by Michael Frederiksen
What do people mean when they say "Anarchism"? Between the international Occupy movement, and questions surrounding capitalism, Anarchism has been a topic that has been much in the media of 2017. This seminar will introduce you to the philosophies of Anarchism through key readings, and then use these philosophies to discuss current events.
Suggested reading for the session:
1.) Howard Zinn – "Anarchism". FULL TEXT
2.) Emma Goldman – "Anarchism: what it really stands for". FULL TEXT
3.) Noam Chomsky – "On Anarchism". FULL TEXT
4.) Encyclopedia Brtiannica, 1905 – "Anarchism". FULL TEXT
5.) L. Susan Brown – "Does Work Really Work?", Kick it Over, #35. FULL TEXT
Facilitated by Sriya Shrestha
In this seminar, we will discuss Neoliberalism, a term for the economic, culture, and social shifts that have occurred in the United States and abroad since the 1970s. Over the last few decades, people all over the world have felt the intense impacts of a changing global economy. Deindustrialization has left once thriving manufacturing communities abandoned and struggling. Wages and benefits for working and even middle-class people have largely stagnated as employment has increasingly become temporary and unstable. Limited opportunities for upward mobility have become even more compromised by decrease in funding for both primary and higher education leading to enormous tuition rises at public universities. Right and left leaning governments have slashed basic services like welfare benefits, affordable housing, and public transportation. Policing and punishment systems have become increasingly punitive, and once abandoned communities have become battlegrounds between wealthy developers and poor residents. Most of us have been impacted by one or more of these shifts, in this seminar we will contextualize these issues within a set of global trends that have fostered inequality and wide-spread social unrest all over the world.

Marx and Engels' theories became the most important political philosophies of the twentieth century, inspiring revolutions all over the world. Though we now maybe are familiar with some critiques of capitalism and some of the language of class consciousness, how might we understand some of the more nuanced aspects of Marxist thought? Why are dialectics and historical materialism and why were these ideas important to Marxist thought?

The ethos of Primitivism is based on the philosophical stance that civilization is itself unsustainable both from humanity and the ecology of the planet. Primitivism has also been approached by movements rooted in religious beliefs, psychological, Marxist and social concepts such as intimacy and ownership of production, and by historical and ongoing resistance to the state by hunter-gatherering and subsistence farming societies, either established de novo by social schisms or by indigenous peoples. This discussion focuses on this radical critique of our way of life.

Train chat lands Scottish Bar chief in hot water
Posted by Neil Rose
Jackson: Deeply regret the distress caused
The head of the Scottish Bar has referred himself to the Scottish Legal Complaints Commission (SLCC) after being caught talking on a train about his client, Alex Salmond, in a derogatory manner.
In a video obtained by the Sunday Times, Gordon Jackson QC, dean of the Faculty of Advocates – the Scottish equivalent of the Bar Council – is heard saying: "I don't know much about senior politicians but he was quite an objectionable bully to work with in a way I don't think Nicola [Sturgeon] is. I think he was a nasty person to work for… a nightmare to work for."
He then appeared to say Mr Salmond could be seen as "a sex pest but he's not charged with that".
The paper said the conversation took place in a standard carriage and was filmed by another passenger. It was during the trial and Mr Jackson talked about how his plan was to "put a smell" on one female witness. He also named two of the accusers, whose identities are protected by a court order.
A jury in Edinburgh last week found Mr Salmond, the former leader of the SNP and first minister of Scotland, not guilty on 12 charges of sexual assault, while another was not proven.
In a statement tweeted out by the Faculty of Advocates, Mr Jackson said: "I have decided that the proper course of action is to self-refer this matter to the Scottish Legal Complaints Commission, and that has been done. It will be for the commission to consider this matter.
"To be clear, however, I do not regard Alex Salmond as a 'sex pest', and any contrary impression is wrong. I also deeply regret the distress and difficulties which have been caused, but given the reference to the SLCC it would not be appropriate to comment further."
Roddy Dunlop QC, vice-dean of the faculty, said: "The Faculty takes this matter extremely seriously. It plainly warrants investigation, but as the Dean has self-referred to the Scottish Legal Complaints Commission, it would not be appropriate for the Faculty to comment further."
It is not clear from the SLCC's rules whether a lawyer can refer themselves in this manner.
In his closing speech to the jury, Mr Jackson said that Mr Salmond's behaviour towards his staff was at times inappropriate but not criminal.

Just because you can't see the dust coming off of the asbestos-containing materials on your property doesn't mean that it isn't there. Asbestos fibers are microscopic yet potentially deadly. In order to check for dangerous contamination, you need to get asbestos air testing in Corona del Mar CA from a professional such as H2 Environmental. If no asbestos is found, you can breathe easy. But if the test comes back positive, you will need to take action. Fortunately H2 Environmental can coordinate every stage of the asbestos removal process for you to help you get the asbestos contamination removed quickly and safely.
Asbestos air testing in Corona del Mar CA is often used as a confirmation that everything in a remediation project is going according to plan. H2 Environmental recommends that workers handling asbestos work in a secure, sealed zone with filtered air. They should remove the asbestos-containing materials in small pieces, dampening them to further reduce the risk of contamination. They should bag the waste inside the work zone, and everything leaving the zone should complete a decontamination process. When all of these recommendations are followed, the project should be successful, enabling your property to pass its final asbestos air testing.

Nit, Goddess of Weaving, War, Hunting and the Red Crown, Creator Deity, Mother of Ra
by Caroline Seawright
Image © Horus3
Nit (Net, Neit, Neith) was the predynastic goddess of war and weaving, the goddess of the Red Crown of Lower Egypt and the patron goddess of Zau (Sau, Sai, Sais) in the Delta. In later times she was also thought to have been an androgynous demiurge - a creation deity - who had both male and female attributes. The Egyptians believed her to be an ancient and wise goddess, to whom the other gods came if they could not resolve their own disputes.
Generally depicted as a woman, Nit was shown either wearing her emblem - either a shield crossed with two arrows, or a weaving shuttle - or the Red Crown of Lower Egypt. Nit was probably linked with the crown of Lower Egypt due to the similarities between her name, and the name of the crown - nt . Similarly, her name was linked to the root of the word for 'weave' - ntt (which is also the root for the word 'being'). She was also often shown carrying a bow and arrows, linking her to hunting and warfare, or a sceptre and sceptre and the ankh sign of life. She was also shown in the form of a cow, though this was very rare.
"Nit, the Cow, which gave birth to Ra," ... In late dynastic times there is no doubt that Nit was regarded as nothing but a form of Hathor, but at an earlier period she was certainly a personification of a form of the great, inert, primeval watery mass out of which sprang the sun god Ra, and it is possible, as Brugsch has suggested, that the name Nit may be akin in meaning to Nut.
-- Wallis Budge, E.A. 1969, The Gods of the Egyptians: Volume 1, p. 451
As the mother of Ra, the Egyptians believed her to be connected with the god of the watery primeval void, Nun. (Her name might have also been linked to a word for water - nt - thus providing the connection between the goddess and the primeval waters.) Because the sun god arose from the primeval waters, and with Nit being these waters, she was thought to be the mother of the sun, and mother of the gods. She was called 'Nit, the Cow Who Gave Birth to Ra' as one of her titles. The evil serpent Apep, enemy of Ra, was believed to have been created when Nit spat into the waters of Nun, her spittle turning into the giant water snake. As a creatrix, though, her name was written using the hieroglyph of an ejaculating phallus - - a strong link to the male creative force a hint as to her part in the creation of the universe.
According to the Iunyt (Esna) cosmology the goddess emerged from the primeval waters to create the world. She then followed the flow of the Nile northward to found Zau in company with the subsequently venerated lates-fish. There are much earlier references to Nit's association with the primordial flood-waters and to her demiurge: Amenhotep II (18th Dynasty) in one inscription is the pharaoh 'whose being Nit moulded'; the papyrus (20th Dynasty) giving the account of the struggle between Horus and Set mentions Nit 'who illuminated the first face' and in the sixth century BC the goddess is said to have invented birth.
-- Hart, G. 2012, The Routledge Dictionary Dictionary of Egyptian Gods and Goddesses, p. 101
There is confusion as to the Emblem of Nit - originally it was of a shield and two crossed arrows, but this changed over time. This was her symbol from the earliest times, and there is no doubt that she was a goddess of hunting and war since predynastic times. The symbol of her town, Zau, used the crossed arrows emblem from early times, and was used in the name of the nome of which her city was the capital. She was known as the 'Lady of Zau'. Samuel Sharpe (1837), in Rudiments of a Vocabulary of Egyptian Hieroglyphics, notes some of her other titles as, 'Nit mother of the gods, queen of heaven', 'Nit the queen of Upper Egypt, the great divine mother', and 'Nit the queen of Lower Egypt, the Lady of Zau'.

A less familiar but very early emblem of Nit is a pair of crossed arrows over what has been interpreted as a shield, crossed bows or a pair of elaterid beetles supported on a pole, known as the bilobate sign ... During the Early Dynastic this is the most common representation of Nit, and numerous examples of it survive, often in simplified form as two crossed arrows, with shaped tips and feathered ends either with or without a pole, or simply two crossed lines ...
A rather more surprising symbol for her during the Early Dynastic, which survived into the Old Kingdom, was an elaterid beetle (probably Agrypnus notodonta, also known as the "click beetle"). Although few amulets have survived from the Early Dynastic, Nit is represented in the form of this beetle in one of a set of three hollow gold amulets found in a woman's burial in Nag ed-Deir, the surface of which was marked with emblems of the goddess. The above-mentioned greywacke fragment in Brussels shows two of these beetles, nose to nose, beautifully carved, adjacent to the bilobate emblem ... Another greyacke item (E 578, also in Brussels), this time a bowl from the reign of Den at Umm el Qaab, shows the beetle with arms and hands held out to the sides, the left one holding a was-sceptre, the right one holding a staff with the top missing. The was sceptre, which was often associated with Nit in later times, represents the concepts of power and dominion.
-- Byrnes, A. 2013, 'The goddess Neith in the Early Dynastic period', Egyptological
The earliest use of the shield and two crossed arrows emblem was used in the name of queen Nithotep, 'Nit is Pleased', who seems to have been the wife of Aha "Fighter" Menes of the 1st Dynasty. Another early dynastic queen, Merytnit, 'Beloved of Nit', served as regent around the time of king Den. The emblem is also used in the depiction of the Temple of Nit on a tag belonging to Aha Menes, found at Abydos, depicting two sacred boats float on the sanctuary of the goddess Nit to the right of the first register. This item is currently in the British Museum (35518), but sadly much of this tag has been lost, including the depiction of Nit's emblem.

Her most ancient symbol is the shield with crossed arrows, which occurs in the early dynastic period... This warlike emblem is reflected in her titles 'Mistress of the Bow... Ruler of Arrows'.
The later form of the Emblem is what some people believe to be a weaving shuttle. It is possible that the symbols were confused by the Egyptians themselves, and so she became a goddess of weaving and other domestic arts. It was claimed, in one version of her tale, that she created the world by weaving it with her shuttle.
She was linked to with a number of goddesses including Isis, Bast, Wadjet, Nekhbet, Mut and Sekhmet. As a cow, she was linked to both Nut and Hathor. She was also linked to Tatet, the goddess who dressed the dead, and was thus linked to preservation of the dead. This was probably due to being a weaver goddess - she was believed to make the bandages for the deceased. With Serqet, she was a watcher of the sky who, in one story, was thought to stop Amen and his wife from being disturbed while they were together, making her a goddess of marriages.
She might have also been linked to Anubis and Wepwawet (Upuaut), because one of her earliest titles was also 'Opener of the Ways'. She was also one of the four goddesses - herself, Isis, Nephthys and Serqet - who watched over the deceased as well as each goddess protecting one of the four Sons of Horus. Nit, along with the wolf- or jackal-headed Son of Horus, Duamutef, watched over the east cardinal point of the sarcophagus where the canopic jar containing the stomach was placed. Also, during the earliest times, weapons were placed around the grave to protect the dead, and so her nature of a warrior-goddess might have been a direct link to her becoming a mortuary goddess. However, as 'Opener of the Ways', she had other functions relating her back to the sun god, Ra:
An analysis of the goddess Nit's attributes shows she was a goddess with many roles. From predynastic and early dynasty periods, she was referred to as "Opener of the Ways" () which may have referred not only to her leadership in hunting and war, but also as a psychopomp in cosmic and underworld pathways. The main imagery of Nit as was as a deity of the unseen and limitless sky, as opposed to Nut and Hathor, who represented the manifested night and day skies, respectively. As the "Opener of the Sun's paths in all her stations" refers Nit's functions in how the sun is reborn (due to seasonal changes) at various points in the sky, beyond this world, of which only a glimpse is revealed prior to dawn and after sunset. It is at these changing points that Neith reigns as a form of sky goddess, where the sun rises and sets daily, or at its 'first appearance' to the sky above and below. It is at these points, beyond the sky that is seen, that Nit's true power as deity who creates life is manifested.
-- Griffis-Greenberg, K. 1999, Neith as a Celestial Wepwawet, p. 1
Other than the sun god Ra, her son was believed to be Sobek, the crocodile god. She was regarded as his mother from early times - the two were mentioned as mother and son in the pyramid of Unas - and one of her titles was 'Nurse of Crocodiles' (especially when she was depicted a woman nursing a baby crocodile). During the Old Kingdom she was also regarded as the wife of Set, though by later times, especially at the Fayum, this relationship was dropped and she became the wife of Sobek instead. In Upper Egypt, especially at Iunyt, she was married to the inundation god, Khnum, instead.

"Give the office of Osiris to his son Horus! Do not go on committing these great wrongs, which are not in place, or I will get angry and the sky will topple to the ground. But also tell the Lord of All, the Bull who lives in Iunu (On, Heliopolis), to double Set's property. Give him Anat and Astarte, your two daughters, and put Horus in the place of his father."
-- Clark, R.T.R. 1960, Myth and Symbol in Ancient Egypt, p. 198
As an important goddess from the beginning of ancient Egyptian history, she was accorded great authority. In the tale of the contendings of Horus and Set, she was also given great authority over the gods, too:
Nit addresses the gods in a very authoritative voice. Her missive omits the elaborate titularies with which Thoth had addressed her in the letter he had sent on behalf of the sun god. Immediately, she orders the gods to give the office to Horus. She criticises their behaviour, using very explicit language - 'Don't do the blatant deeds of falsehood which are out of place' - and tells the other gods what to say to the Lord of All. She uses the simple and direct imperative and conjunctive forms, a very common way of requesting others to take action, not overtly marked for politeness.
The other gods respond favourable to Nit's suggestion, saying m3`.tw t3jj ntr.t, 'This goddess is correct'.
-- Sweeney, D. 2002, 'Gender and Conversational Tactics in "The Contendings of Horus and Seth"', The Journal of Egyptian Archaeology, vol. 88, p. 150
By Greek times there was a great annual festival in honour of Isis-Nit. Part of the festival, recorded by Herodotus, said that the people lit their houses with lamps and torches that were fuelled by oil mixed with salt. The lamps and torches were kept burning until the morning, while the people themselves feasted.
At Zau, when the assembly takes place for the sacrifices, there is one night on which the inhabitants all burn a multitude of lights in the open air round their houses. They use lamps in the shape of flat saucers filled with a mixture of oil and salt, on the top of which the wick floats. These burn the whole night, and give to the festival the name of the Feast of Lamps. The Egyptians who are absent from the festival observe the night of the sacrifice, no less than the rest, by a general lighting of lamps; so that the illumination is not confined to the city of Zau, but extends over the whole of Egypt. And there is a religious reason assigned for the special honour paid to this night, as well as for the illumination which accompanies it.
-- Herodotus, The History of Herodotus: Book II
A protectress of Osiris, the pharaoh and the dead, she guarded the coffin and one of the canopic jars along with a Son of Horus. She wove the linen bandages for the dead, protecting the body from decomposition. Linked to royalty since the 1st Dynasty, she was a guardian of the Red Crown of Lower Egypt itself. She used her arrows to put evil spirits to sleep, and thus was a goddess of the chase and of warfare. She was thought to be the water from which Ra was born, becoming the mother of Ra and thus of the gods themselves. Eventually she became the creatrix, the great creator, who was neither male nor female, but a combination of both. Despite the attempt at Iunyt to give her northern origins, where she was the wife of Khnum, she was a goddess of the delta and of Upper Egypt itself, linked with Ra, Set and Sobek. She was one of the earliest deities worshipped in Egypt with her origins in the predynastic period, with strong ties to the rulers of the early dynastic period. Her worship continued on until Greek times, where she was worshipped as the conflated goddess, Isis-Nit. She was 'Everything that has been, that which is, and everything that will be', the female creator god of Egypt.

When one uses sewing to incorporate a line on a fabric, it is much more labor-intensive than simply drawing a line with ink and yet women have embroidered fabric for ages… is it because of the more permanent aspect of it? That even if the colors were to run, the embroidery will adhere no matter how delicate, it will remain, worn and steady?
What's ironic is that this craft whose origin was in the Mughal world, Persia, was lovingly embraced and utilized in craftsmanship done for themes originating in Hinduism. Something to think about in the current climate of India where there are fundamentalist leaders proposing to change the name of the Taj Mahal, built by Muslim rulers!
My works often resort to the use of text and symbol, calligraphy, popular icons, etcetera, to register a context to the viewer. In most of my performance art still photographs, my face becomes a canvas representing the topic of address. The combination of the two converts the image into a metaphor – taking away the literal meaning of the words and the obviousness of self-representation.
The Arabic script spelling "Allah" or the Hindi "Om" may not be legible to all, but the significance of wearing a dot or design in between the eyebrows is known to most. the Arabic script spelling "mother" tattooed across the face of the Allah denoted woman or the Hindi script spelling "mother" tattooed across the face of the Hinduism denoted woman may not be legible to all, but what almost everyone is able to perceive is the resonance of the images to the queen of hearts configuration. And what most might also easily guess is the opposite nature of the two faces… despite the fact that they belong to one and the same person!
For those who are aware of the polarized socio-political climate of India, no further explanation is necessary. For those unaware – the story is still about the symbolic motherland separated ideologically but with common challenges.
"The best thing about a picture is that it never changes, even when the people on it do" the words of Warhol who made it his life's mission to render faces, mostly those of famous people. This face enacts a few raw emotions, those that may be placed in the category of play acting with props, placements, the whole nine yards. The depth of feelings are easier to enact when done deliberately. In reality one opts for a coping mechanism that can very easily mask the depth of expression.

It's been piping hot in Scotland this year – and not just in terms of the weather.
Figures for Piping Live!, the Glasgow International Piping Festival, reveal the event generated a tremendous boost for the local economy – to the tune of over £1.9 million.
An economic impact report found that Piping Live!, which ran from 13–19 August, welcomed over 31,000 music fans to Glasgow, 75% of whom were from outside the city and 32% outside Scotland. Overseas visitors from destinations such as Oman, USA, Canada and New Zealand accounted for 24% of festival goers.
The average overseas visitor to Piping Live! stayed in Glasgow for 5.6 days, staying in Scotland for 10.4 days in total and spending around £100 per day during their vacation.
The evaluation undertaken by Tourism Resources Company, further highlights the importance of the annual piping festival not only as a feature in Scotland's cultural calendar, but in attracting visitors from across the globe to Glasgow.
In its 15th year Piping Live! saw over 150 events take place throughout the city, including the fiercely contested Master Solo, International Quartet and Pipe Idol competitions. Trad heavyweights Breabach, Ross Ainslie and Finlay MacDonald also topped the bill.
The National Piping Centre, renowned as the centre of excellence for piping music, is the home of Piping Live!. The festival receives support from public bodies including Glasgow Life and Event Scotland, part of VisitScotland's Events Directorate – each playing an essential role in the continuing strength of traditional music in Scotland's cultural scene.
Roddy MacLeod, Piping Live! Glasgow International Piping festival organiser, said: 'This year, Glasgow enjoyed a tremendously busy summer and Piping Live! was certainly a huge part of this. We attract incredible crowds, top calibre acts and incredible trad talent to the city and 2018 was no different.
Councillor David McDonald, Chair of Glasgow Life said: 'These results from Piping Live! demonstrate once again how popular this festival continues to be and the role it plays in bringing visitors to Glasgow during the Summer.
Piping Live! Glasgow International Piping Festival returns 10–18 August 2019.

Tackling a Piece of the Housing Crisis
Oregon House Democrats vote in favor of a bill limiting no-cause evictions and allowing rent control
by Chris Frye
Central Oregon's Republican delegation remains opposed
Oregon Democrats and Republicans agree on something: there is a housing crisis in the state. They don't agree, however, on how best to solve it. That isn't necessarily good news for the more than 500,000 Oregonians who rent their homes. For these individuals, the housing crisis is something all too real.
A recent nationwide study from the National Low Income Housing Coalition highlighted just how dire the rental crisis is. The study concluded that in Oregon, the Fair Market Rent for a two-bedroom apartment is $1,008. To afford that rent and utilities without paying more than 30 percent of income on housing, you'll need to earn $3,360 a month, or $40,318 per year.
In Deschutes County the estimated hourly mean renter wage for 2016 was $11.86. The hourly wage necessary to afford a two-bedroom apartment in Deschutes County at Fair Market Rent would be $15.90, more than a $4 an hour difference. click to tweet
When looking at Central Oregon, the picture doesn't get much rosier. In Deschutes County the estimated hourly mean renter wage for 2016 was $11.86. The hourly wage necessary to afford a two-bedroom apartment in Deschutes County at Fair Market Rent would be $15.90, more than a $4 an hour difference.
Possible solutions include Oregon House Bill 2004, which, according to the bill's language, "Prohibits landlord from terminating month-to-month tenancy without cause after six months of occupancy except under certain circumstances with 90 days written notice and payment of relocation expenses amount equal to one month's periodic rent."
The bill also "permits city or county to implement rent stabilization program for rental of dwelling units." The bill narrowly made it past the House in April, with 31 voting favor and 27 voting against. Zero Republicans voted in favor of the bill—including Rep. Knute Buehler (R-Bend) and Rep. Gene Whisnant (R-Sunriver). The bill still must pass the Senate and receive the governor's signature before becoming law.
Support for the bill, or lack thereof, runs pretty much down party lines, with Democrats arguing in favor and Republicans against. Those speaking out against HB 2004 include House Republicans, who have argued that this bill would actually make the crisis worse by turning those away who might want to invest in rental properties and new construction. Bend's state senator has indicated he'll vote against the bill in the Senate.
"HB 2004 is already hurting the very people (it) was designed to help," wrote Sen. Tim Knopp (R-Bend) in an email response to the Source Weekly. "Some landlords are listing their properties and giving up rentals because of all the additional cost and regulation being proposed. This is deceasing rental supply and will likely cause prices to go higher. What is needed is to rebalance supply, which there is not enough of right now," Knopp said.
"Too many Oregonians face double or triple-digit rent increases. Oregon's towns and cities have low vacancy rates, between 1 to 3 percent. Communities of color, seniors, people with disabilities, and people with low incomes are disproportionately impacted when landlords exploit the eviction process." click to tweet
In a heated debate on the House floor, Rep. Mark Meek, (D-Oregon City/Gladstone) argued in support of the bill, stating that, "Oregon families are struggling against record rent increases and housing insecurity right now."
Also supporting the bill is the Oregon Housing Alliance, urging support for the bill from its website, because, "Too many Oregonians face double or triple-digit rent increases. Oregon's towns and cities have low vacancy rates, between 1 to 3 percent. Communities of color, seniors, people with disabilities, and people with low incomes are disproportionately impacted when landlords exploit the eviction process."
In an article in the Statesman Journal, Rep. Carl Wilson (R-Grants Pass), said, "I think we should let the private market solve this shortage." Others speaking out against the bill include landlords. In a letter to the editor in The Oregonian, one landlord wrote against HB 2004, saying: "Requiring 90 days' notice and one month's rent for moving expenses is absurd. If the bill passes, I will be forced to increase the rents on the units to protect myself."
It isn't clear if HB 2004 will be what the Democrats state: a step in the right direction, or whether it would compound the housing crisis, as Republicans claim. For now, the next step in the process is a Senate Committee on Human Services work session on the bill, scheduled for May 31.

In a Mellow Mood is a collection of ballads by KC and the Sunshine Band, released in 2005. All but three of the tracks had been issued on prior albums. Two of the exceptions—"Remember" and "Love Disappears"—were said in the liner notes to come from the album Yummy, which had not yet been released in 2005. When Yummy was finally released in 2007, only "Love Disappears" was on the track list, making "Remember" unique to this collection. The liner notes further state that "I Can See Clearly Now" is from the 1995 collection Get Down Live!, but in fact it appears here for the first time.

'I Was Just Thinking About My Son.' Shot In His Own Home, a Gun Violen…
January 14, 2022 admin 0 Comments champions league, flu deaths, golden state warriors schedule, lakers roster, movies, nba season, ohio state football roster, printable calendar, school calendar, warriors roster
Across the U.S. in 2021, tens of thousands of people were shot. They were shot in schools and supermarkets, in churches and offices, in the streets and in their homes. Many were killed, many more were injured; the great majority of victims were within inner-city communities. And as staggering as the total is, it does not speak to the ripple effect and trauma that these incidents cause. Here is one of those victims' stories.
On the night of March 12, Davante Griffin, 25, was in his room at his home in Henry County, Georgia playing video games, when he started to hear loud noises coming from the house's ground floor. A friend—Griffin's brother and a number of friends were also present in the home—ran upstairs, saying that people were trying to break in, seemingly intent on robbing the character.
[time-brightcove not-tgx="true"]
During the ensuing home invasion, Griffin was shot in the leg. His brother was held at gunpoint; one of his friends was shot five times. While it was not Griffin's first experience with gun violence, the incident made him seriously mirror on how the problem has impacted his life and his community.
I had been shot at before; I've had friends who were shot. When I was a kid, my stepfather was shot and killed by a police officer. It's not real easy out here, and you've got to watch what you do. But this was the first time I had ever been hit. And it really [hit home]: In the blink of an eye, you could be gone.
My mind was racing. I had heard that you could die from a gunshot wound to the leg; I was just trying to stay awake. There wasn't a lot of pain, but [in the ambulance] I nevertheless didn't want to close my eyes. I was just thinking about my son, who was one at the time. I just wanted to stay alive for him. This was the first time I thought that I might not be there for him.

In the hospital, the police treated me like I was a speculate. They kept asking me the same questions—"do you know who broke in?" and "why did they break in?"—over and over. It felt like an interrogation. I kept telling them I didn't know why the guys broke into the house. I knew they didn't believe me but there was nothing I could do about that.
These are experiences that you go by being where I'm from—being from Atlanta, being from the hood, period. A lot of us young people think this is the norm. But it shouldn't be like that. You shouldn't have to go by things like that. That's not normal.
(In the months since the shooting, no arrests have been made to Griffin's knowledge. The Henry County Police Department did not respond to TIME's request for comment regarding the incident.)
I was discharged from the hospital later that night—I walked out in my [hospital] gown. But I nevertheless have little sharp pains in my leg sometimes; when I make a slight wrong move or something like that, I feel it a little bit.
I went to the hospital that my friend was at to make sure he was okay too. He made a complete recovery—though he nevertheless has a bullet lodged in his neck. After that, I went to see my son. I wanted to make sure I was around him; I couldn't imagine not being here for him. He's a very affectionate kid, he's always kissing me and he shows a lot of love. This kind of incident makes you think about your family and your kids.
Christian Devon FarmerGriffin and his son.
[In the weeks and months afterward] I kept replaying the shooting in my head. I had nightmares about it going differently. My little brother was in the house—in my nightmares, he gets killed. It's kind of crazy, but I think the outcome that happened was the best way for it to go. No one was killed. nevertheless, these kinds of situations just make you paranoid. I've moved twice since this happened. I keep to myself; it just makes you more alert.
Part of what got me by was my family. They were very supportive. My brothers were checking in on me and bringing me things that I needed. Seeing my son every day got me by it too. In the immediate aftermath, I wanted revenge but [as time passed] I was just thinking, "what are you living for if you're going to retaliate?" I had to really stop fixating on it and just move on.
Read more: The complicate Dynamic Between 'Violence Interrupters' and Police
When I was a kid, growing up around all of this was hard. We're just so accustomed to having a gun wherever you go; it's been so bad for so long. And I feel like gun violence is going to continue to happen unless we change our mindset.
As a Black community, we don't have enough leadership. Unfortunately in our communities, [many of us] don't have our fathers in our lives. They're not there to teach us. I nevertheless feel like I'm a kid in a way, because you're never done growing. But I don't want my son to have the experiences I had growing up. I don't want him to be in circumstances where he has to have a gun. If he has a problem with somebody, he should be able to tell me and we can figure it out. That's what's missing from our community. Kids turn to guns instead of adults in their lives.
When I really sit back and think about all of this, it starts with the household. We need to be conscious of what our kids are seeing at home and what we're teaching them. It has to start with us. If we really want to fix this problem, it has to start at home.

Description de l'Afrique et de l'Espagne
Texte arabe publié pour la première fois d'après les manuscrits de Paris et d'Oxford avec une traduction, des notes et un glossaire par R. Dozy et M.J. de Goeje
Author: Edrîsî
Description de l'Afrique et de l'Espagne offers a partial edition of the Arabic descriptive geography by Abu ʿAbdallāh Muḥammad al-Idrīsī (d. c. 560 AH/1165 CE) entitled Kitāb Nuzhat al-mushtāq fī' khtirāq al-āfāq. The author lived at the court of the Norman King Roger II in Sicily where he composed this work for him. Little is known about al-Idrīsī's life, except that he had travelled extensively and had acquired first-hand information about the areas he described in the Nuzhat, which is also known as the Book of Roger.
Originally published by Brill in 1866, this edition of the Arabic text concerning Africa and the Iberian Peninsula by R. Dozy and M.J. de Goeje was based on the Paris and Oxford manuscripts. It includes a translation into French, with notes, a glossary (Arabic-French), and Index.


My chickens, otherwise known as Talon, Fluffball and Redwing, are three orange chickens. Redwing and Fluffball were bought quite recently, and Talon is an oldie. But there is a story about why she's older than the other two…. Here comes a story of tragedy, murder, and love (not really).
Two years ago, my parents bought some chickens. I called them Shadow, Talon and Fireball.
"At the time, we had a cat named Billy. He was originally a stray cat at Asda the supermarket, until a cat rescue center came and took him in. We bought Billy to get rid of the rats and he successfully drove the rats away. We thought Billy was a superb rat catcher.
And THEN (you might have already heard about this on my About page), during our holiday, our neighbour's dog killed our other hen Fireball. Dad bought Fluffball and Redwing to replace them.
I felt quite sad about the death of both chickens. My mum was distraught.
Now all our 3 chickens are safe and happy in the garden. Our neighbour had mended the fence, so their dog couldn't get into our garden anymore.
This is a fabulous story Ben….Shakespere (were he still alive!!) had better watch out!!
