NEW HOPES ARE ABOUNDING ON THE COURTS
U.S. youngsters are again showing the kind of zest for tennis that produced the greats of yesterday. The former Davis Cup Captain here previews some prospective champions of tomorrow
There seems definitely to be a strong revival of tennis interest among the half pints in the United States. If, as they say, the Davis Cup of 1958 was won or lost in 1953 (Alex Olmedo started in the U.S. in that year), then I think there is great hope for the future. We have some promising comers among our 12-to-l6-year-olds. That is the age when the tennis bug bites. It is then that our future champions become infected.
On the following pages you will see 11 of our more exciting prospects in this category. In the boys' ranks we have a quartet of excellent prospects. Among the girls our outlook is even brighter. I think we have more fine young girl players in the country today than ever before in our history, and this is an opinion shared by many tennis experts.
These talented neophytes from all parts of the country are not just gifted tennis players. They have the early mark of greatness, the kind that Lew Hoad and Ken Rosewall carried in their formative days around Sydney; the kind the fabulous Maureen Connolly displayed as an ingénue in southern California. They show a natural aptitude for the game. They love it. They play it well. Unless they are sidetracked by other interests, they will be our Wightman Cup and Davis Cup hopes of tomorrow.
How do you explain the sudden wave of tennis interest among the small fry? Perhaps it's the glamour of Jack Kramer's professionals, or it may be the result of the United States Lawn Tennis Association's junior development committee, ably guided by Martin Tressel of Pittsburgh.
Tressel's program has set up junior tennis leagues, much on the order of Little League baseball. Young players are encouraged to play and compete. They are given the best possible instruction and are permitted free admittance to the big tournaments.
Perhaps we are on the road back. With the Davis Cup back home and this apparent revival in youthful enthusiasm for the game, the future looks bright indeed.
VICKI PALMER
The 1958 National Girls champion, Vicki celebrated her 14th birthday in January by winning the Thunderbird Women's title in her home town of Phoenix. She has a big serve for a youngster, is strong, plays an excellent backcourt game and has apparently overcome an indifference toward victory.
KATHY CHABOT
This petite young San Diego lady-is a charmer from the tip of her Fauntleroy hairdo to the soles of her Keds. Now aged 15, she has been runner-up in the 1958 Girls Nationals. She has a steady backcourt game but must learn to force the net.
CHARLES PASARELL
He won the National Junior Chamber of Commerce championship at Chapel Hill, N.C. last year. Now 14, he is a protégé of Welby Van Horn in Puerto Rico. He has a good serve and net game but needs tournament experience.
CLARK GRAEBNER
A determined Clevelander with a fine backhand, Clark, 15, is National Boys champion and winner of his class in this year's Orange Bowl Tournament. He is a real work horse, with a fine temperament, but lacks the necessary big game, which he will develop as he grows. His father and I were competing when we were both still in high school.
BILLIE JEAN MOFFITT
In California they are already talking about this 15-year-old from Long Beach as another potential Alice Marble. She has a devastating American twist service, a lot of strength and stamina and is definitely one of the most promising youngsters on the West Coast.
ROBERTA ALISON
If pretty 15-year-old Roberta from Alexander City, Ala. fulfills her promise she could become the first player of national reputation from her home state. Instructed by her father, she plays mostly from the backcourt and has tremendous power off both her forehand and backhand.
DAVE SANDERLIN
An outstanding athlete hailing from El Cajon, Calif., Dave hits the ball with medium pace and has developed excellent control with his ground strokes. He volleys with a deft touch and moves about the court extremely well. He has a fine sense of strategy for a 15-year-old.
CLIFFORD BUCHHOLZ
Cliff is the brother of the well-publicized Earl, who was with our 1958 Davis Cup squad in Australia. Aged 15, he is National Indoor Boys champion. The son of a St. Louis pro, he has lightning reflexes, easy and graceful strokes and a fine fighting heart. But he tends to overhit.
JULIE HELDMAN
This smiling 13-year-old from New York City is a tennis star by inheritance. Her father, Julius, was once a ranking player in the U.S., and her mother, Gladys, publishes World Tennis magazine. Julie, who has a sound forehand and volley, holds the U.S. 13-and-under indoor title.
CAROL HANKS
A big girl with a big game, Carol has a good tactical approach to tennis through the benefit of excellent coaching. She volleys beautifully, but she needs to work on steadying her ground game. Aged 15, Carol comes from St. Louis and holds the Orange Bowl under-18 championship.
JUSTINA BRICKA
One of the rare southpaws in topflight tennis, Justina brings back memories of Kay Stammers. Only 16, she has great natural ability, plays with great rhythm and grace. She was runner-up in last year's National Girls Indoors, but she lacks experience. She is from St. Louis.

Q: VLOOKUP not finding value in array I used VLOOKUP function to find a value in an array but some of the values gave #N/A answer despite of available in array.

To round up the numbers, I used CEILING function but interesting point is in some values, it did not work.
I checked the type of value if it is number or not.
Also, I used ROUNDUP function but did not work.
Also, I tried INDEX/MATCH combination and again did not work.
In the example that I gave in the link, when I type between 15.00 - 15.20, it gives error but trying other values, it works.
How do I fix this?

A: This seems to be a bug with VLOOKUP and MATCH using the return values of CEILING. If you use:
=VLOOKUP(ROUND(CEILING(F4,0.1),1),A:B,2,FALSE)
then it works as expected.
If we look at this with VBA then we see what happens. To blame should be really CEILING and ROUNDUP. See example:
Sub testCeilingAndRoundup()

 Dim v As Double, test As Boolean, diff As Double

 v = [CEILING(15.1,0.1)] '15.1
 test = (v = 15.1) 'FALSE
 diff = 15.1 - v '-1.776...E-15

 v = [ROUNDUP(15.25,1)] '15.3
 test = (v = 15.3) 'FALSE
 diff = 15.3 - v '1.776...E-15

End Sub

A: Looks like you've run into an Excel bug.
Applying CEILING to the number 15.1 should return the exact same result (15.1) regardless of whether the significance is 0.1, 0.01, 0.001, etc.
And indeed it does, according to Excel: when asked if they're equal, the answer is always TRUE.
But looking up these mathematically equal numbers in the look-up table gives different results.

This has to be a bug.
Instead of CEILING(F4,0.1), I suggest you use ROUNDUP(F4,1) which appears to be bug-free. Nope, ROUNDUP is buggy as well. Axel Richter's answer suggests wrapping CEILING in a ROUND and this does appear to make the problem go away. You can also convert to string and back to number:
VALUE(TEXT(ROUNDUP(F4,1),"0.0"))

so you'd have
=VLOOKUP(VALUE(TEXT(ROUNDUP(F4,1),"0.0")),A:B,2,FALSE)

A: Your CEILING function should be more precise if you want to find a match for 15.10
Change it to CEILING(F4,0.01) and it will works :)

Bývalý Stalingrad
Zhruba před čtyřiceti lety se začaly stavět domy na dnešní Čujkovově ulici, na náměstí byla rozestavěna pošta, zdravotnické středisko a konečná stanice jediné tramvaje číslo 2, která zde jezdila z Ostravy, byla u "Vodárny". "Jednička" z Hlučína, Ostravy a Vítkovic jela kolem Bělského lesa a končila u "Dakoty". Novotou se skvěly domy na ulici Kapitána Vajdy a druhá nová budova osmiletky byla otevřena na Gurťjevově ulici. Cihlové "proudovky" v okolí školy začaly zabydlovat první nájemníci, vesměs zaměstnanci Nové hutě.

Nejstarší školou v tomto místě byla škola na Chrjukinově ulici. Všude kolem byly louky, les a bažiny. Území bylo proťato "zářezem" (dnes Polanecká spojka), který byl vybudován před druhou světovou válkou pro tramvajové spojení Vítkovic se Svinovským nádražím. Klikatá silnice ze Staré Bělé přes Staré Výškovice do starého Zábřehu a dále do Vítkovic a Hulvák byla úzká a téměř se zde neminuly dva autobusy.

Vznik Gymnázia Ostrava-Zábřeh – začátky
Nárůst obyvatel a rozvoj sídlištní struktury vyprovokoval potřebu založit i zde "jedenáctiletku". Ta, jak bylo uvedeno, vznikla 1. září 1957 a byla umístěna do levého křídla nyní již bývalé osmileté střední školy na Chrjukinově ulici. Začínala s jednou desátou třídou, složena ze studentů jiných ostravských škol a se dvěma devátými třídami, do kterých byli přijati první a původní studenti této školy. Na sídlišti zvaném "Stalingrad" přibývalo domů a s nimi i nových přistěhovalců.

Prvním ředitelem školy byl Josef Hrbáč, který byl ve funkci jeden rok. Po něm byl jmenován ředitelem Antonín Tichý, který se v roce 1958 vrátil s celou rodinou z Paříže, kde působil na československém velvyslanectví jako učitel dětí českých diplomatických přidělenců. Po návratu z ciziny mu byla svěřena střední škola v budově, která nebyla pro tento typ školy připravena ani zařízena.

První jedenáctý ročník jedenáctileté střední školy maturoval ve školním roce 1958/1959. Absolventů bylo 35 a z nich 10 dosáhlo vyznamenání. Třídním profesorem této první maturující třídy byl František Kamenčák. Záhy po vzniku školy se přistoupilo k rekonstrukci nevyhovující tělocvičny, školní jídelny a odborných poslucháren chemie, biologie a fyziky. Po rekonstrukci se podmínky poněkud zlepšily, pořád však prostory školy nebyli ideální pro provoz střední školy.

60. léta
V druhém roce existence školy byla již školou úplnou a ve školním roce 1959/1960 maturovaly tři 11. třídy a studium ukončilo 100 absolventů. V té době patřila tato škola počtem žáků (od 1. do 11. třídy) k největším v Ostravě. Protože žáků a studentů s rostoucím sídlištěm stále přibývalo, učilo se mnohdy i na chodbách.

V roce 1963 byla poměrně velká zima a tehdejší školské orgány přistoupily k radikálnímu šetření paliva. Ve školách se o prázdninách nesmělo ani přitápět. Mrazy však byly třeskuté a během prázdnin popraskala ve školní budově většina litinových radiátorů. Jen díky nezměrné obětavosti všech tehdejších profesorů a vedení školy a pomocí známostí se topení podařilo v krátké době opravit a po prázdninách mohli studenti nastoupit do školy (radiátory byly tehdy přidělovány na poukaz). Šetření stálo tehdy hodně peněz a snaživé obětavosti všech pracovníků školy.

Rok 1963 byl rokem osamostatnění střední školy, která dosud v rámci jedenáctileté střední školy spojena se školou základní. Samostatná JSŠ měla jen tři ročníky v 9., 10, a 11. třídách. Rozdělení školy si vyžádalo organizační i personální změny. Ve škole od tohoto roku učili jen aprobovaní učitelé s kvalifikací pro takzvaný III. stupeň škol a počet vyučujících se podstatně zvýšil. Počet tříd vzrostl ze dvou na tři až čtyři v každém ze tří ročníků.

Současně se stavěla přístavba stávající školy na Chrjukinově ulici. V letech 1963–1965 byl otevřen pavilon dílen a odborných pracoven. Odborné pracovny byly určeny vzniklé Střední všeobecně vzdělávací škole, pokračovatelce JJŠ, ale už se čtyřletým maturitním studiem. Vybavení odborných učeben bylo na svou dobu moderní.

Zvětšil se prostor a oběma školám to pomohlo, protože sídliště se stále stavělo a denně se stěhovaly rodiny, především s malými dětmi, které osmiletku den ze dne stále více zaplňovaly.

Nová budova
Rozhodnutí o výstavbě nové školní ulice padlo v roce 1965. Iniciativa učitelů byla tehdy příkladná a všichni se starali, aby nová školní budova po všech stránkách vyhovovala a byla na úrovni doby. Koordinaci příprav byl pověřen profesor Arnošt Pchálek.

V letech 1965, 1966 a dalších začínala mít škola ve veřejnosti prestiž, o škole bylo více slyšet a studenti školy dosahovali úspěchů v soutěžích znalostních i sportovních. I učitelé byli často pověřováni metodickými funkcemi v rámci Ostravy i Severomoravského kraje. Ve škole se mnoho sportovalo, provozovala se lehká atletika, volejbal a košíková. Mezi profesory probíhaly turnaje v šachu. Každoročně se pořádaly kulturně-tělovýchovné akademie. Škola spravovala tehdy dřevěnou budovou s možností ubytování ve Spálově na Vítkovsku, která byla využívána k rekreaci a sportu, k víkendovým zájezdům a společenských akcím.

Přípravy na stavbu nové školy byly v plném proudu. Staveniště bylo vytyčeno na místě bývalého močálů na nejvzdálenějším konci tehdejšího slunce u "polanecké spojky". O nějaký měsíc dřív se na stejném místě začala stavět budova devítiletky, dnešního sportovního gymnázia. Generálním dodavatelem stavby byl Bytostav, n. p. a investor Městský investorský ústav.

70. léta
Tělocvična školy byla dána do provozu po vánočních prázdninách začátkem roku 1970. Postupně byly dokončovány i práce v interiéru školy za plného provozu. K úplné spokojenosti scházelo ještě dokončit školní hřiště, které se teprve rodilo. Podařilo se to v roce 1971 a na hřišti se začalo cvičit a sportovat. Po roce provozu se ukázalo, že střešní plášť školních budov měl stejné kvality jako mnohde jinde na rovných, nespádových střechách. Ještě v záruční lhůtě se však podařilo střechu opravit.

K 1. září 1970 byl vyměněn ředitel a někteří profesoři, zvláště dějepisáři a občánkáři byli přemístěny na jiné školy v Ostravě. Jádro profesorského sboru však zůstalo nezměněné.

Poprvé ve své historii dosáhla škola počtu 17 tříd interního studia. Její prostory byly však pro tak velký počet studentů těsné. Kromě studentů interních přibyli uprostřed sedmdesátých let i externí studenti z řad Sboru národní bezpečnosti, kteří měli ve škole získat maturitní vysvědčení, jež bylo podmínkou k vykonávání služby v SNB. Podmínkou přijetí bylo totiž absolvování středoškolského studia s maturitou. Po dohodě Ministerstva vnitra a Ministerstva školství vznikly tedy na některých gymnáziích praporčické třídy pro členy SNB. Na hodiny docházeli do školy dvakrát týdně v odpoledních hodinách na šestihodinové konzultace. První tito absolventi maturovali ve školním roce 1976–1977 a poslední pak ve školním roce 1982–1983. Za tu dobu absolvovalo středoškolské studium celkem šestnáct tříd v průměru po 22 studentech. Středoškolská učební látka byla oproti internímu studiu značně redukována. Někteří studenti měli i tak studijní problémy, většina však přistupovala ke studiu zodpovědně. K jejich cti lze tedy konstatovat, že dovedli vážně pracovat, ale dělat si srandu i sami ze sebe. Dva dny v týdnu se učilo ve dvou směnách celkem v 21 třídách.

V druhé polovině sedmdesátých let pracovalo na škole nejvíce pedagogických pracovníků v historii školy. Včetně externích
učitelů učilo někdy až ve 23 třídách i 43 pedagogických pracovníků. Externě se vyučovalo především v odborných, volitelných a nepovinných předmětech. Externisté byli pracovníci z ostravských závodů, zemědělských družstev a úřadů.

Ředitelem naší školy se stal od 1. září 1970 rozhodnutím tehdejšího městského výboru KSČ profesor Zdeněk Mácha, do té doby ředitel Gymnázia v Ostravě 1 ve Šmeralově ulici. Dosavadní ředitel Antonín Tichý byl jmenován ředitelem Gymnázia v Ostravě 1 ve Šmeralově ulici. A "škatule" se hýbaly dál. Dosavadní zástupce ředitele Augustin Vala byl stejnými orgány jmenován ředitelem ostravského nakladatelství Profil. Na jeho místo nastoupil člen profesorského sboru Arnošt Pchálek, který zde na škole učil od roku 1959.

Kromě intenzivního trvání na všech oslavách socialistických svátků, politickém školení ve společenských a politických organizacích a okázalých výzdobách budovy u příležitosti různých svátků je možné říct, že vzdělávací program byl plněn a naši absolventi se úspěšně dostávali ke studiu na vysokých školách, na kterých se dobře uplatňovali. Poněkud problematické bylo plnění kvót náboru na vysoké vojenské školy. Získávání studentů k tomuto studiu bylo mnohdy až groteskní, podbízivé a trapné. Studenti se také zúčastnili nácviku skladeb na Spartakiádu 1975. Vybraných 44 studentů vystupovalo i v Praze.

V roce 1971 byl zástupce ředitele Arnošt Pchálek jmenován ředitelem gymnázia v Ostravě – Hrabůvce a jeho nástupcem se stal člen pedagogického sboru Jaroslav Kunz, který na škole učil od roku 1963. Tato funkce byla napřed nabídnuta některým členům "strany". Ti ji však odmítli.

80. léta
Osmdesátá léta byla charakteristická nástupem výpočetní techniky. Začátkem tohoto období vznikají první PC a mládež i dospělí se o nich dozvídají prostřednictvím sporých článků v tisku a časopisech. Zatímco ve školách se v lepším případě vybavujeme diaprojektory, magnetofony nebo zpětnými projektory, na některých pracovištích Vítkovických železáren a jiných větších podniků zavádějí první personální počítače anglické firmy ICL a velkou touhou studentů a učitelů je vidět jejich činnost alespoň při exkurzi. Těch bylo uspořádáno několik a byl o ně velký zájem. První konkrétní kontakt s počítači měli naši studenti, když byla škola vybavená jako jedna z prvních v Ostravě počítači české výroby IQ 151. Na pohled jen vzdáleně připomínaly dnešní PC, nicméně studenti přijali i tuto výpočetní techniku jako pokrok a mnozí z nich udělali s ní první kroky na své profesionální cestě a dnes zastávají významná postavení ve výpočetní technice.
První skutečné PC byly ve škole instalovány spolu se zřízením učebny výpočetní techniky v roce 1990 a s ní byly na škole instalovány i nové počítače – "dvěstěosmdesátky".

V roce 1985 odchází do důchodu ředitel školy PhDr. Zdeněk Mácha a na jeho místo nastupuje Jaroslav Horník, který je vystřídán za necelé tři roky ředitelkou PhDr. Hanou Pohlídalovou.

1990–2017
Rok 1990 byl rokem tříbení názorů a personálních změn. V lednu byla odvolána ředitelka školy, nový ředitel byl volen hlasováním členy pedagogického sboru, na konci roku došlo k výměně zástupce ředitele. Začátkem roku ještě studenti zorganizovali spolu s ostravskými vysokoškoláky velkou demonstraci na podporu nového vedení státu a prezidenta republiky. Bylo zrušeno politické školení učitelů a rozpadla se organizace ROH i SSM.

Nové politické a společenské poměry přinesly nemálo změn i v oblasti vzdělávání, což se přirozeně dotklo i gymnázia. Zásadní změnou bylo znovuobnovení víceletého gymnaziálního studia, sedmiletého a osmiletého. První dvě třídy víceletého studia byly otevřeny už v roce 1990–1991. Přes organizační a prostorové potíže (jedna třída víceletého gymnázia byla umístěna v prostorách ZŠ Srbská v Ostravě – Výškovicích) se tento typ studia zdárně "ujal". K výše zmíněným potížím nutno přičíst i kouzlo neznámého jak z hlediska studentů, tak vyučujících (přístup k žákům nebo metodika výuky). Od školního roku 1992–1993 jsou všechny třídy gymnázia vyučovány v budově školy. Postupem času začal víceletý typ studia nabývat převahu nad čtyřletým cyklem, takže od školního roku 2001–2002 je Gymnázium Ostrava-Zábřeh výhradně osmileté.

V roce 2017 škola oslavila 60 let svého působení a k příležitosti byl vytvořen videoklip k písni Splněný sen, která se stala neformální hymnou toto gymnázia.

Dnešní stav

Škola úzce spolupracovala se Sportovním gymnáziem Dany a Emila Zátopkových – které leží ve stejném areálu – na výstavbě nového sportovního areálu v okolí obou škol. Patří do něj například travnaté fotbalové hřiště, běžecký ovál, tenisové kurty, horolezecká stěna, víceúčelové hřiště anebo posilovna.

Na podzim roku 2014 začala velká rekonstrukce školy. Byla vyměněna všechna původní dřevěná okna za plastová a celá budova byla kompletně revitalizována. Rekonstrukce byla dokončena na jaře roku 2015. Modernizací také postupně prošly školní interiéry.

Ve školním roce 2019/2020 bylo ve škole 14 tříd. Ředitelem školy je RNDr. Jiří Chmela, ve funkci zástupce ředitele působí Mgr. Petr Říman a Mgr. Adéla Romanowská.

Oktavián
Oktavián je školní časopis vydávaný od roku 1995. Ve svých počátcích se zaměřoval na vydařené slohové práce studentů. Jeho mottem je tvořit časopis "studenty pro studenty" a toho se redakce drží. Různorodost časopisu zajišťuje redakce tvořená skupinkou studentů s různými zájmy a z odlišných ročníků. V současné době redakci tvoří přibližně 12 členů.

Oktavián nyní vychází jako měsíčník. Redaktoři se pravidelně scházejí a vždy se snaží přijít s novými nápady, které by časopis posunuly dále. Od roku 2015 Oktavián prošel výraznými grafickými změnami, a to hlavně z hlediska sjednocení některých prvků, jako například obsahu nebo číslování stránek a vytvoření loga Oktavián.

Náplní časopisu jsou nejen články z různých rubrik, jako jsou například Aktuality ze školy, Kultura, Názor nebo třeba rubrika Z různých barelů, ale i články méně tradiční. Velmi čtivou součástí časopisu je Duel, ve kterém vždy proti sobě soutěží ve vědomostních otázkách učitel a žák. Pro většinu studentů jsou nejzajímavější rubrikou Perlyčky, ve kterých jsou zmiňovány úsměvné momenty ze školních lavic. Nápadité texty jsou doplňovány fotkami, které zasílají sami redaktoři a vztahují se k článkům. Každé číslo našeho školního časopisu má svého průvodce. Jedná se o studenta či skupinu studentů, kteří se pro dané číslo nechají nafotit.

Oktavián zaznamenal několik úspěchů na soutěžích o nejlepší středoškolský časopis Moravskoslezského kraje a získal i ocenění na celostátní úrovni.

One winter holiday, as a kid in my grandmother's home, I wandered into her kitchen to find she was stirring a large kadhai. She was making halwa, wonderful sooji halwa, fragrant and billowing, roasting it in ghee and stirring it furiously to remove all lumps. Some raisins sat on the counter next to her, plump and bursting in a katori of warm water, ready to be chucked in. "Today is 'bada din', (big day) so I'm making halwa," she informed me chattily. My staunchly Hindu grandmother was making halwa (as she did every year) to celebrate Christmas.
This is why I wouldn't rewrite anything in my childhood. Because no matter what else went down when I was a kid, there were always weird and wonderful things that popped up unexpectedly, like wildflowers on a grassy hillside. There was always my family's casual embrace of reasons to celebrate. (And celebrate the only way it matters. With food.) And most importantly, in my childhood, there was my nani's halwa.
Years later, when I encountered my mother-in-law's version of sooji halwa, I realized that it was a completely different animal to my nani's. Absolutely delicious in its own right, it was a paler, richer offering, resplendent with slivered almonds, buxom with ghee and flavour. Her standard proportion of one cup of ghee, and one each of sugar and sooji would have horrified my frugal grandmother, who would have considered it a criminal waste of ghee to have it swimming lazily along the sides of any dish she cooked. But she would have been the first to admit that using ghee to literally confit the grains adds a depth of flavour and taste and a certain melty texture to the halwa that mere dry roasting and drizzling with ghee can never hope to achieve.
That same melt-in-the-mouth quality is what makes "kadha prashad"—the gurudwara halwa —so addictive. This was something I adored so much in childhood that I was a gurudwara groupie, hanging around the innards of the gurdwara like a hopeful stray, hoping to be chucked some kadha prashad at regular intervals. Always made with atta, never sooji, and robust amounts of ghee, there is something about this, some secret ingredient that makes it impossible to replicate at home, some combination of piety, peace, gleaming floors, melodious beautiful gurbani streaming overhead and the presence of vast hirsuteness that domestic kitchens can never ever achieve. Even today, a ghee-slicked palmful of kadha prashad can lift the darkest clouds in my day and simultaneously reduce me to a blubbering wreck.
That's the thing about atta or sooji halwa. It's the taste of childhood, of quiet celebration, of marking auspicious times, it's the taste of a home-made happy, even if just for a moment. That's why these halwas can never be eaten in restaurants or banquets, because they aren't meant to be grand, they are meant to be comforting and contemplative. If they are made the way they should be, then you can contemplate infinity when you eat them, but that's a different sort of grand we're talking of. These are the halwas you think of when the storm clouds gather and it looks like the rain will come down in sheets. These are the tastes that you accessorize with old pyjamas and warm slippers – but there are others that sit better with brocades and bandgalas.
Those are the set of halwas belonging to the same family, but a different genus and species. These are halwas that are firmly on the other side of the tracks: moong ki dal ka halwa, besan halwa, badaam ka halwa etc. These are different in every way — richer in mouthfeel, resplendent with nuts and ghee and requiring hours and hours of stirring and roasting over a slow flame.
First, the moong ki dal ka halwa, staple of North Indian winter weddings and banquets and purveyed in the finer mithai shops everywhere. Nutty, rich, flavourful and earthy, it's interesting how schizophrenic this halwa is, the exact molecular opposite of its main ingredient, the pale light moong ki dal that is routinely fed to patients and convalescents. But in this avatar it is as far removed from that as it is possible to be, clearly a Cinderella taken from the hearth to the ball. This is special occasion food, requiring advance notice, a battalion of house elves willing to spend unhurried hours at a stove and a 30 point cholesterol leap worth of ghee to reach its full potential. This is my mother's favourite halwa, she is well-known in her corner of the world for attacking it fearlessly wherever she encounters it.
Similarly the besan halwa, which needs the vigilant eye of the former East German secret police to be able to roast properly. There's a lot going on here, ghee heated to smoking point, milk added to it and then besan added to this hissing, spluttering mix and slow roasted. Sugar syrup is added after a lifetime of patient roasting which, when absorbed, yields the prize. There is something about this process and this dish that is ultra-sensitive to neglect of any sort. If you look away for an instant, it will choose that precise moment to get spitefully burnt and taste scorched forever. However, the reward for vigilant loving care is a taste that is distinct and unique, that halwa connoisseurs the world over will give their right arm for. A friend of mine makes this now and again when she has a few days and some elbow grease to spare.
I also have another friend who calls me over every Eid and feeds us kababs and biryani and a small swimming pool sized bowl of badaam halwa, which she makes from scratch. (Well from badaams, actually, but you know what I mean.) And both these halwas are rich and nutty and divine and so utterly sinful that even glancing fearfully in their direction can make you put on weight. Which is why I am very disciplined about polishing off vast amounts of both, but with my eyes firmly closed.
And finally to complete the halwa family, is the other genus, the vegetable halwas. We all know people who swear by kaddu halwas and lauki halwas and such people must always be allowed to swear by them because the world is large enough to hold every sort of lunatic fringe (including those who believe that broiler chicken is anything other than styrofoam melted down and those who believe that lauki and kaddu are stellar halwa ingredients). The other day I also came across this recipe for a zucchini halwa cooked in almond milk; it had got a five star rating from many enthusiastic readers. As far as I am concerned, this is one more definition of kalyug, when a dish born out of joy and exuberance is made to wear sackcloth and ashes but, if this floats your boat, more power to your vegan vessel, far be it from me to judge.
But, no matter what your views on any other vegetable, it is hard to deny that the king emperor of all vegetable halwas is the world famous gaajar halwa. Grated carrot cooked in milk and cream till it becomes mooshy and melty with just sugar and powdered elaichi as flavouring. There are raisin and nut purists who walk among us and bloody battles have been known to break out between those who believe that raisins have their place in a halwa but not nuts vs those who feel the opposite and the equal opportunity eaters who believe that both are welcome. Either which way, gaajar ka halwa is something that needs both and neither to be the poster dish of the North Indian winter. This is the perfect fusion occasion dish – made at home, eaten at weddings, sold in mithai shops – everyone has a recipe and mostly everyone has a taste for it.
I used to love gaajar ka halwa when I was young. My mother would make a fantastic version in which she pressure cooked the carrots with just milk and then cooked that down. Skipping the cream really lightened up the halwa so I could eat combine harvester loads of it at one sitting. When she wanted to make it slightly more mellow, she would roast this basic starter halwa again on a heavy bottomed iron tava with a teaspoon of ghee. This suffused the halwa with the wonderful ghee aroma and the slow heat reaching out in lazy licks through the heavy bottomed tava made the milk solids in it caramelize and turn gooey and chewy and wonderful in your mouth. I've eaten my way joyously through several mountains of this tava-roasted Halwa 102 every year too, every spoonful an ode to joy.
However, for the last few years, this has changed. I have clearly exceeded the critical amount of gaajar halwa that is possible for one person to consume in one lifetime because I can't seem to approach it with anything nearing my earlier enthusiasm. This is one of the great food-related tragedies of my life. As someone who has always equated halwas with wellbeing and small happinesses, with joy and comfort, with family and celebration, having one of the pillars of this belief snatched away from me when I am not yet past the hump of middle age is a horrible setback. Those of you who feel like you have THE recipe to help me get my gaajar ka halwa mojo back, or have another halwa (no, I'll skip the zucchini lauki kaddu brigade if you don't mind please) which you feel will help offset this hideous loss, please help. Send recipes, boxes of, or google maps pins to reach homes of best practices followers of making the halwas you are recommending – think of it as your noble effort to help me alleviate my suffering.
And as a toast to my childhood memories, I've decided I'm going to follow my nani's example. Every month, I will choose a reason or a day to celebrate something I typically wouldn't. I will make a halwa, eat a halwa, share a halwa with someone I wouldn't generally reach out to. Even if nothing else changes, I reckon I will be a lot happier with halwa inside me than not.
What better way to approach a new year? So with or without a halwa in the mix, have a joyous 2017!


Land and sea, weakness and decline are great separators, but death is the great divorcer forever.
Once upon a time, in a kingdom forgotten by history – a kingdom so peaceful that no one cared to report its histories – there lived a widowed king and his three daughters: Catherine, Marie, and Veronique.
The king, who was very wealthy but very bored, had little to do but appease his daughters. He gave them fine clothing, beautiful rooms, doting maids, shelves filled with big old tomes about Arthurian legends and history and daring novels.
The one rule that the king set, and that each girl obeyed, was that the wild, gray ocean-shore a few miles away never be swum in, looked at, or sailed upon. The king's wife, as lovely a creature as ever there was, had drowned soon after Veronique's birth, in a terrible shipwreck off the coast.
Since that day, the king had not looked at the sea again, and if anyone even mentioned it he would cease speaking for several sorrowful days.
As the girls approached adulthood, their wealthy and impractical father gave them wonderful news. At age 16, he said, each girl could have one thing – anything, any wish that they desired – to celebrate their maturity.
Catherine was first, and with a toss of her sun-drenched ringlets, she requested a golden carriage with six gray stallions, a handsome driver, and the finest harnesses in the kingdom.
Two years later, the king asked Marie what she wanted for her birthday. After a bit of deep thinking and blushing, she requested her mother's wedding dress and crown – and, as soon as she received those sacred items, Catherine regretted her beloved carriage with its dashing driver and six proud horses.
Several years went by before it was Veronique's turn, and the king was beginning to feel old age settling in. Without his wife the years had seen him grow increasingly lonely. His daughters became the axis on which his world turned. Catherine had her mother's lips and hair; Marie had her rosy cheeks and pointed nose; Veronique had her beautiful, wide gray eyes. And it was Veronique who, unlike the other sisters, had pondered her gift for many years, wondering exactly how she was going to tell her father, and thinking out all the many ways she could say it.
In the end, though, she simply said, "I wish to go to the sea," and there was nothing her father could do: he had made a promise, anything, anything at all … and Veronique's wish was to visit the sea, the wide and glorious sea she had read so much about in books.
With a deep sigh and heavy eyes, the king nodded and watched as his youngest daughter ran the direction to the shore, her long black hair floating behind her like a veil. He went to his rooms and drank, hoping to sleep away his worry and wake up with his daughter home and safe. He soon fell into a dreamless slumber.
Veronique had never seen a body of water larger than a pond or large fountain. For all the luxuries she had been given, travel was not one of them. She had, in fact, rarely ventured out of the castle walls: and while those were wide, huge walls that stretched for miles, sometimes it could feel rather like a prison.
Veronique had read poems of the sea, fairy tales, and plays such as The Tempest – all of which enthralled her and awoke in her the desire to see water. She had read about mermaids and wanted to know if they existed. She had read about coral reefs and longed to wade about one. She had seen sketches of wild waves and sinking boats and felt drawn by the power of the ocean.
It took several hours, but Veronique was drawn by the sudden stillness in the air, interrupted only by a gentle lapping sound: the sound of waves pulling back, and then rushing forward ever so gently against the sand.
When she arrived at the shore, her intention was to look, sit for a time, and then return to her father. Perhaps she would be allowed to return, even. She took a seat on a rock, dipping her toes into the icy water, and in a matter of minutes she was no longer human: she belonged to the sea, she knew this with her whole heart – everything within her belonged to the water, and she never wanted to be anywhere else. The sea can do that to young girls with romantic imaginations; it can also do that to old men who long to fish or sail, or to young men with a fancy of being a pirate or navy soldier. The sea can pull, and draw, and call until it has you in its arms … and by the time you're in them, there is little hope for returning.
Hours went by. Hours of sitting beneath a mild sun, with the water rushing against Veronique's feet, calves, and thighs. Gulls soared above her, ships bobbed gently in the distance, and tiny fish caused little bubbles to burst at the shore's edge.
It was not enough. Veronique needed to be inside the water, held by it, protected by it. She knew nothing of swimming, or that one must learn to swim, so imagine her surprise when she splashed into the water and came up with a noseful of water and a mouthful of salt! She coughed, sputtered, gasped for air – and then tried again. Let us not be so fanciful as to say she learned to swim that day: she did not. But, each day she woke very early, crept out of the castle, and returned to the sea, testing her limits a little more each time, until at last she had learned to float, and even to swim a bit.
The king knew nothing of these exploits. He had been so relieved when his youngest had returned home that first day, he could scarce contain his tears. If he had known that she was sneaking to the water almost every day, he might have locked the castle walls or given her a lecture. Catherine noticed the smell of salt on her sister's skin, and Marie saw how those long black locks were turning dull and dry from the water. Neither sister said a word. They protected the secret and each, in their own gentle way, was envious of it.
Spring turned into summer, and summer left sun-bruises on Veronique's shoulders and legs, and her skin was dry and cracked from the salt of the sea. She did not mind, and the king did not notice.
Now, none of this should have been particularly dangerous. Veronique had learned to swim, she knew not to go out on foggy or stormy days, and she never went out farther than the water was safe. It was the siren's song that did it – that dangerous music that no mortal can resist.
These mermaids were a particular kind of mermaid: kind, soft, naïve. They listened to Veronique's woes and desires, and they told her of life beneath the waves – how they could see the underside of boats, and they all had pet fish, and their hair never became dull from the salt. Everything was softer beneath the waves, they said, and everything was prettier.
The fact that Veronique found them at all was a feat in itself – she had the innocent, open heart of a child yet, despite her blooming adulthood, and when one has the mindset that anything is possible, quite frequently it is. And so she had met the mermaids. And, rather quickly, she decided she wanted to be one.
And so, the doubtful but helpful mermaids swam to the depths of the ocean to ask the Sea Crone for advice. This was a woman who had helped Circe, who had drawn many a sailor to a painful death – who had, in fact, summoned the waves that had killed Veronique's mother. But Veronique knew nothing of that. She only knew that, if legend proved true, she would have to offer up a part of herself as payment, and then leave her life on shore behind forever.
The trouble was, no one had ever come to the Sea Crone asking to be a mermaid before. She had met with plenty of mermaids who desired to be human, but never had she seen a case such as this. And, with her calculating mind, she decided that this was most unusual and thus deserved a most unusual fee.
Veronique had no idea what to do. It's rational to think that she would have cried no, and ran as far from the sea as it is possible to run. But the desire was in her now, and she could only hear the stories of life underwater, of the hundreds of years she could live in that paradise.
"And if I say no?" She inquired, wondering at last how she could possibly agree.
Veronique felt suddenly suffocated. She was mad with longing, half-crazed with the desire to become a mermaid … and yet, how could she be happy knowing her father's life had been the price? Her lovable, peaceful, innocent father?
Walking home that night was terrible. With a knife in her hand, given to her by the Sea Crone, she snuck up to her father's rooms to bury the blade into his heart. She knew what she needed, what she wanted, and she could not bear to lose her soul. Afterall, the mermaids had said sweetly, the king will keep his soul after death.
Veronique made her way to her sleeping father, watching him as he snored softly and lay huddled beneath his bedcovers.
After a while, she returned to the sea, where the mermaids waited with baited breath.
"Well?" they asked, on the edge of suspense.
Veronique healed up the knife, which dripped with warm, sticky blood and shimmered sweetly in the moonlight.
The mermaids dashed beneath the waves, eager to tell the Sea Crone that her fee was paid and that Veronique should have her fins.
But Veronique was an innocent. She had not been able to kill her father. The blood that dripped from the dagger's edge was her own, and she fell into the sea with a tranquil smile, hardly making a splash.
Veronique, out of purity and love, had been spared her soul. She stayed near her sisters often, but mostly she hovered invisibly at her father's side, sending him rays of light and love to warm his lonely soul.
The king should have ceased to ever speak again. When he saw his daughter's body half in the muddy shore, he should have had nightmares for the rest of his life – both of his wife and Veronique. Instead, he felt a loving calm wrap around him, and when he was most distraught, most lonely, most vulnerable, he would smell Veronique's favorite perfume, or hear her soft giggle.
Veronique's soul kept him calm, even happy sometimes, and she stayed with him until he died five years later of a stroke.
When his soul finally rose from his tired body, Veronique and her mother were there to catch it; together, the three went up to heaven, where a sea of clouds awaited them.

Article - 'The New Bestiary' by Angroth
An item about Plots/Characters posted on Aug 9, 2003
Thought that was the end? 6 additions give 81 beasts
Who said final means the last? I don't know if you enjoyed my bestiaries but I certainly enjoyed writing them. So I thought, why not write one more? Now it's in a nice and easily readable grid! (well, it was when it was in word but now it has big gaps!)
UNDEAD:
Skeleton The bones of a dead creature that have somehow come back, most likely for revenge. Usually a necromancer is the one who reanimates the bones.
Zombie The true walking dead. Rotting and festering, they are mindless and look for flesh to eat.
Frankenstein's Monster This beast was created by Dr Henry Frankenstein. Built with bits of odd men and the brain of an executed murderer, a large electrical charge aided the birth of this creature. The Frankenstein monster is immense in power and is extremely tall.
Lich Not all skeletons lose their souls. Some hold on to their existence in this world through sheer force of will. Unwilling to pass on, these stubborn souls remain in their rotting bodies, festering in the hatred that is the only focus of their new existence. They have a maleficent disgust for the living. A Lich is a powerful creature with the ability to rain down vast amounts of damage on its foe. These undead creatures are feared on the sea as widely as on land. Liches can also be sorcerors, if so they favour death and wield dark magic.
Berbalang The berbalangs were said to have wings and cat like slits for eyes, but in everyother way they looked human. They needed human flesh to live and spent their time digging in graves and eating the bodies that they could find there. Their eyes can be seen sparkling like fires from a distance. Dwelling with the dead for so long berbalangs have basically become dead themselves. They can hide by lying down and holding their breath. They enter a trance and visibly vanish from our planes. If you hear a berbalangs evil and cruel moan begin to attack behind you as they are never where they seem!
Banshee No one has evidence of the banshee's shape so it is assumed that she has none. She is merely a screaming wailing voice that haunts the night. Her mournful cry or keening usually signifies a death in the family if heard.
Ghoul Pale and crave for blood. Ghouls are similar to zombies but they are stronger. They have a deep desire for human flesh.
Ghost The spirit of a dead person. They haunt people and tend to linger in their houses. Ghosts are in more movies than zombies (I think).
Death Knight Death Knights are generally undead slain knights. Although some however can be tainted humans that are also learning the ways of necromancy (or something like that). Another name for the death knight is the anti-paladin or wight.
Wight Also known as Barrow Wights, these creatures are vastly old skeletons that usually guard locations such as tombs and so on.Always armoured and carry weapons. Wearing armour and being the knight of the dead, wights are basically death knights.
Vampire They must stay alive by drinking blood (usually from neck). People who have lived from a vampire sucking their blood are prone to turn into a vampire themselves! However, you are liable to turn into a vampire if you are one of the following: People who commit suicide, witches, the seventh son of a seventh son, people who tell lies (ut oh!), children who havent been baptised (oohhhh nooo!!), criminals (bugger!), a child born of a mother who has been looked at by a vampire.They are said to be able to transform into beasts (like wolves and bats) but fear not, they may not enter your house unless you invite them in and, to kill them:A wooden stake made from aspen or hawthorn wood must be driven through the vampires heart or navel, small stones or grains of incense must be placed in the coffin so the vampire had something to nibble if he awoke, to delay him elaving the coffin, arlic must be stuffed in his mouth, millet seed must be scattered over the vampires body for he could not leave his tomb until every grain had been counted, vampires body must be buried face downwards, Wild thorny roses must be strung outside the coffin inorder to hinder the vampires progress from the grave.
DEMONIC:
T'ao T'ien (Monster Face) T'ao T'ien are a horrible sight; its monstrous head is connected to one body on the right and one on the left. Usually they have six legs. It's face is more often seen without its body and can be a dragons, tigers, mans and it is often called an 'ogre's mask'.
Balrog Made of flame and smoke, they wield a whip and a sword. Accompanied by two large wings, this beast is to be feared.
Demon / Daemon Big large red beasts who are muscle bound. They often wield a pitch fork or some kind of spear. These evil monstrosities come from the underworld (hell) and are quite hairy (might have beards or mains). They have immense power and can even breathe flames. They usually have to large horns on their head. However this is only the stereotypical demon. Demons are known to come in many forms and work in many ways. Demons can be both manipulative and deadly.
Changeling Strange mutated beings. Their location and history is a mystery. However they are a very mischevious race. They can easily immitate anything they have touched. Usually hired by others to assassinate people by immitating a close one.
Warg (hell hound) Larger twisted versions of wolves. Wargs can be referred to as hell hounds. They are much larger than an average wolf and are more ferocious. They have a wider jaw with large penetrating teeth.
Naga Half human, half god, nagas take the form of snakes. It possesses great wealth and very strange powers that no one really understands. People dreaded and feared it; they thought it could cause or prevent rain which of course meant life or death to the Indian people (its origin). Female naga's are nagini's and are very beautiful and divine. Naga's have the supreme power of the sea and many other magic powers.
Manticore/ Manticora The most favoured description is a mans head with pale blue eyes and three rows of teeth which fit into eachother like the teeth of a comb. The face and ears are bright red and it has a lion's body with a scorpion's tail with stings either side which can shoot of like arrows. It moves swiftly and is fond of human flesh. In other descriptions it is said that a manticore has magical powers.
Cerberus In greek mythology it guarded the entrance to Hades (the underworld). It was said to have 50 heads but it was soon taken down to a mere 3. It was a ferocious beast that would rip apart any tresspasser it could find.
Chimera A greek monster made up of three creatures. Sometimes it had a lions front end, a dragons rear with a she-goat's head embedded between. Sometimes it is said to have all three heads at the front or with a head at each end and one coming out of its back. The chimera was said to be able to breathe flames.
Gorgon The gorgons were snake haired women whose looks were so terrible that anyone who looked on them turned to stone. Medusa is the most famous of the gorgons. They have sharp pointed teeth and deep glaring eyes.
Imp The lowest level of the demons (could be debated whether they are actually demons). Imps are short and frail with small fangs, claws, and very short wings. They are mindless and are scavengers that are usually gathered in groups.
Jinn Jinn is the plural of a genie, who were beings made of fire. There are supposedly good and evil Jinn as well as male and female ones and they are aerial beings with transparent bodies that can take on various forms. At first they sometimes appear as swirls of black smoke (like pillars) and they gradually compress into the form of whatever they wish to take. Jinn have immense power. Egyptians said it is the work of an evil genie (jinn) that causes their sandstorms. There has been a debate on Jinn being Genies or not and they ARE, I'm telling you this! (maybe not if you refer to different legends and myths). Jinn are sometimes called Efreeti, Ifreet, or Ifrit.
Dragon Dragons tend to be large winged beasts. They are difficult to describe; they vary so much from time to time and place to place. Nevertheless western dragons are usually heavy-looking serpents with wings and claws. They can be any colour, even black, as long as it is huge, has scales that shine and can belch forth fire and smoke.Dragons of the east are too numerous to count for, they are everywhere where there is water. They populate the deepest seas and the shallowest river to the tiniest drop of rain. They are completely in charge of weather conditions. A flash of lightning is the dragon flashing its eyes, the wind is its breath and the storms at the sea are caused by the tearing of its claws. Dragons come in many forms from large to small and many colours such as red, golden, black, green and blue. If in a certain colour it usually represents certain elemental powers or prowess.
Wyvern Little is known about the wyvern but it is a flying serpant similar to a dragon, but with two eagles legs and it has a barbed dragons tail. A wyvern without wings is usually called a lindworm. The appearance of a wyvern was supposed to herald a war or an epidemic of fatal disease like bubonic plague.
Tiamat One of the earliest legendary dragons. She originated in Babylonia and was supposed to be the beautiful, female dragon of confusion the dwelled in the sea.
Kraken One of the most terrifying and heavily believed in beasts was the kraken. It was especially famous in Scandinavia. It was of mammoth size and often 1.5 miles long with multitudes of tenticles waving about. Many stories tell of the beast and it dwelled in deep sea's where it would attack and slay sailors.
Minotaur Son of the Queen of Crete and a beautiful white bull that Neptune brought from the sea. It had the head and horns of a bull (I wonder why!!) and the body of a man and was so hideous to look at that the queen constructed a special maze for it.
Roc The roc is a gigantic bird that resembles a huge eagle. It lingers in deserts and feeds its young elephants (or anything of its size). Roc's are not evil but when provoked, because of their size, the can be a dreadful enemy.
Werewolf Werewolves are wild, vindictive creatures that tear men to pieces an lap up their blood. One way of becoming one is to be bitten by one. Soon after the victim goes through a series of changes (basically they begin to itch and grow hair, then a pentagram appears on them). According to the legend on a night when wolfsbane plant is in bloom and the moon is full, the person turns into a wolf. Its superhuman strength makes it impossible to contain.. At day break the werewolf turns back into its human form and remembers nothing of what happened.
Griffon / Gryphon / Griffin It is a half bird half mammal with large wings and the head of an eagle. It also has the hind legs and tail of a lion. It is a very large beast that is said to be immensly strong (as strong as 100 eagles).
Gargoyle One of the most deceiving beasts possible. At day a gargoyle is merely a statue upon a building top but by night the stone sheds from its skin and the creature is let lose. Most gargoyles seem to have wings and an overall monsterous look. At night a gargoyle loses control and causes havoc to those in its path. Before day returns a gargoyle will return to its original location only to look like it has not moved.
Hippogriff / Hippogriffin These were the offspring of a griffon (half lion, half eagle) and an ordinary mare. The hippogriff had a horses body and the tail combined with the claws, wings and beak of an eagle. The uncommon creature was apparently found in mountain regions.
Golem Generally large, magically animated creatures formed into a human shape and standing as tall as a building or even a giant. Golems posess immense streangth and are very, hard to destroy. They are however, completely mindless and only do what their controller / creature commands them to.
Grendel The monster of the fens. Grendel is described as being a mighty, monstrous fiend who patrolled the moors and fears near the stronghold of the Danish King Hrothgar.
IMMORTALS:
Hydra A water serpant born to Echidna, a beautiful woman who was half serpant herself! The hydra is a scaley serpant creature that is a horrible and hideous sight. No one ever agreed on the exact number of heads it had; some said one hundred, some said fifty but most people believed it to be nine. The probable reason for this was after each head was severed, two heads would immediately sprout in its place making it almost invincible. The centre head was said to be immortal so in essance, the hydra WAS invincible. It was so deadly it reaked havoc for a long time until killed by Hercules. When it slept the pollution it breathed out would easily kill a nearby man.
Garuda This creature has 2 human like legs that end in claws, an owl like body with thick wings that appear to be like those of a phoenix but less firey. It has a wide tail and a crocodile or Kayman like head covered in yellow feathers with a red feather rim at the top/back of it. Of all the great birds (Angelina Jolie, phoenix, roc, senmurv) the Garuda was the father of them all. It was the divine bird of India and described as 'destroyer of all, creator of all'.
Hanuman The ancient Indian god which had the head of a monkey but the body of a human. He also had a cows tail and his body was a greenish colour. He had a tribe of monkey followers who could come to his aid when necessary. He was said to be the son of the wind god Vayu. He was very swift, strong and brave.
Angel Angels are messangers of the light. Commenly known as human-ish apearing creaures with a pair of white beautiful wings. The "regular" form of angels are generally messangers although they do posess quite some power though. They are also said to have many eyes and many wings, and radient faces that by just looking at one, would shock a mortal with awe or possibly kill.
Arch-angel Put simply, an arch-angel is a warrior angel. Angels typically with armor and large, flaming swords. Some though are said to have very large, golden wings and some even with animal-ish features.
Tengu Long ago in Japan the Tengu claimed to own the whole world. A race of monsters, half man, half bird, they had gigantic claws, wings and red beaks. Their eyes were so ferocious and glittering that one glance in your direction felt like a flash of lightning.
Elemental Immortal beings made of an element, these creatures possess complete power over their element. Being complete masters of their own element, they are difficult to destroy.
Ku Ku came from hawaiian legends. He was a dog-man who had the ability to transform into any form he desired. He was strong and devoured all who fought him.
Titan Titans are basically a higher level of giant. They greatly resemble a giant but generally wear armor and have the ability to toss lightning bolts right from their hands. They could be considered to be demi-gods and therefore immortal.
Marduk He was the supreme god. He could use a bow very well. His powers were great and it was he who defeated tiamat (in babylonian belief).
Kujata An ancient monster god from moslem mythology. He is a vast bull with 4000 eyes, ears, nostrils, mouths and feet. Supposedly it would take 500 years to travel from one eye to another and from one ear to another.
Centaur Centaurs are horses with the upper body of a human. They are immortal beings that are very knowledgable. Some tales tell of noble and kind centaurs, others tell that they were a mischevious race who played tricks on people.
Harpy The harpy is a winged creature with the head and breasts of a woman but the body and talons of a vulture. They are noisy and ravenous creatures continually tormented with fierce hunger. They are filthy and have matted hair. They are also deathly pale from starvation. They are called the birds of hell. They swoop from their dwellings devouring anything possible. Despite being on the brink of starvation, they are unable to die and cannot be killed.
Phoenix The bird of the sun. There is only ever one at a time. The phoenix lives for a thousand years and is then reborn. Its feathers are a mixture of gold and red that glisten in the light. They never eat or drink and live purely in the air. It was a similar shape to the eagle but much larger.
Senmurv A descendant of the griffin. It was an immortal bird mammal that is said to have wings that can darken the skies. Later on it was said to have the tail of a bird and the head and paws of a dog (senmurv actually means dog-bird). In the beginning the senmurv was a friend to humans.
Sphinx Sphinxes have come in many shapes and sizes but there are only two sorts. The egyptian version is the oldest with a lions body, the head of a man and shoulder length straight hair. The greek sphinx however had a womans head and breasts and the body of a lion with birds wings. The most famous sphinx is the sphinx of Thebes or the sphinx or riddle. She asked passers by a riddle and if they could not answer she devoured them (this sphinx was also greek).
Satyr Satyrs are gods of the forest who are usually associated with fertility rites. The greeks called them satyrs but the romans called them fauns, pans and sylvans. Most pictures usually show them as having the hind quarters of a goat and a human body, head and arms. They are thickly covered in dark, curling hair and have short horns on their head. They also have pointed animal like ears and hooked noses.
Ramuh Little is known of Ramuh but warlordjon7 says that 'what I may say could be very very wrong, but here goes. Ramuh is a sort of sageous arch-mage that has so much power it is questionable if he is still mortal or not.' It is debatable if he is actually a mortal but being as powerful as he is I would have thought not!
MORTALS (DOMINANT RACES):
Human These mortals can vary vastly. They are excellent at adapting to different environments. There are many classes of human from knights and squires to bandits and necromancers (not to be confused with other races). I'm sure you know the rest or have plans of your own.
Halfling Halflings resemble children. They are small and similar to dwarves yet they do not have the muscular and chunky build of the dwarves, they are more streamline. Halflings are a peaceful race but will fight to survive.
Dwarf Usually said to dwell in cave area's and wield axe style weapons. A dwarf is smaller than a human and much more bulky. They usually weigh a fair amount and are a very stubborn race.
Giga A giant creature that slightly resembles a dwarf, they have different colourations, elemental properties and features depending on their personality and origin.
Elf There are two kinds of elf. Firstly there is the pixie styled elf who is small, slender and has pointed ears. And then there is the version where they are just as tall as humans but more athletically built and once again have pointed ears. Either way they are commonly ascociated with bows, magic and forests.
Beastmen These creatures resemble goats. They are half goat, half man. Sometimes called goatmen, these beasts have two large horns pretruding from their forehead. Their origins are unknown but they wield large axes and are never found alone.
Kobold Best discribed as humanoids with canine features. Their society is based on a matriarchical system with a high regard for warriors. They have fur, a tail and their heads resemble dog's heads. They speak human with a typical accent. Arguments suggest that Kobolds could quite easily be a lizard like creature. However the canine Kobolds are favoured more and so I wrote about that.
Cyclops The word cyclops means 'round-eyed one'. Cyclops were a race of giants who had one eye in the centre of their forehead
Goblin Little scavangers. They are small, green and come in great numbers. They have a huge tradition in skandinavian mythology. Goblins can vary much but are featured in many myths and legends. From Lord of the Rings to mere Games Workshop games.
Orc A persisting enemy to the humans. Orcs a muscular and resemble large goblins.
Hob(o)goblin Somewhere between goblins and orcs.
Troll They come in many varieties, river, cave and forests etc. Some are even known to have intelligence and utilise magic. Generally trolls are similar to giants and ogres. They are large lumbering beasts, or so thought to be!
Giant / Ogre Ogre is the western name for a man eating giant and most countries have tales about them. The most fearsome ogre to walk the earth was Oni of Japanese origin. It was incredibly evil in appearance and temper. It appeared as a giant size human with long elephant tusk like teeth. Female Oni were often reffered to as Yamanba.
Banaspati Indonesian demon that resembles a naked giant walking on his hands with his feet dangling in the air. It has sharp claws and an adapted neck that allows him to turn his head nearly 360 degrees while bending his neck backwards, it uses a long pre-hensile tongue to drain the blood of an evil victim.
Lizardmen Reptilian humanoids. They dwell near the sea. Little is known of their origins or history (maybe they're linked to merfolk).
Merfolk Merfolk are simply mermaids and mermen. Mermaids are a mysterious yet romantic reature. She is beautiful and is usually happy. Her beautiful hypnotic song has been said to have lured many sailors to their doom. If a mermaid becomes angry her howling can turn the sunniest day into a storm which lashes out at nearby sailors. It has been pointed out that the final point is connected to the story of Siren's. From my research, maybe the two have been slightly blurred and connected myths.
Lamias They were beautiful women from the waist upwards but writhing serpents from below the waist. They were greatly feared as witches and monsters. They could not speak but were able to sing a beautiful song in order to lure lost sailors before devouring them.
Troglodyte There are many variations of troglodytes maybe due to living in different areas. Nevertheless all of these creatures are cave dwellers, strange folk who hide away in the shadows with no communication with outsiders. They are very sensitive to the light but have a hightened sense of smell, like that of a dog. Some troglodytes are merely human like creatures with hunch backs while others are fur ridden beasts with pointed ears and have a bad temper.
LESSER CREATURES / ANIMALS:
Animals Wolves, lions, snakes, basically anything REAL.
Pixies / Faeries / Nymphs Basically these creatures are all the same things. I could endlessly describe them but put simply they are small elf like creatures who usually dwell in forest area's. They have small features like children and have sparkling wings.Usually occosiated with light and holyness they can be evil and a sign of death. They are always magical creatures nevertheless.
Catoblepas In Ethiopia there is said to be a beast called Catoblepas. It moves very sluggishly and has a remarkably heavy head which the animal finds almost impossible to carry. Fortunately it is unable to lift its head high enough to look at anyone. This is a good thing as all who look into its eyes drop down dead.
Carbuncle The name Carbuncle, meaing ruby or garnet was given to a very mysterious creature by the spanish conquerors. It was because no one had seen it long enough to know its shape, or whether it had fur or feathers. One man in Paraguay described it as a smallish animal with a shining mirror in its head like a glowing coal. Another peson said it had a mirror of light shining out of the darkness that was similar to the precious stone dragons were thought to have hidden in their brain!
Unicorn With the body of a sleek white horse, the legs and hooves of an antelope and a lions tail, unicorns had a large horn ontop of their head. It was twisted and said to be four feet long with a white base, black middle and red tip. It was said to be such a powerful horn that anything the unicorn pushed it up against, it would be torn to pieces.
Yale The yale is shown on various coats of arms as having the head and body of a horse, a goat's beard and a large boar's tusks. It has spots and tufts of hair all over its body, cloven hooves and a tufted tail. Its most amazing feature were its horns which were long and curled in the most peculiar manner.
K'i-lin Basically this creature is the chinese version of the unicorn. It is a animal of good fortune and is still loved by the people. It is said to be so gentle that it only eats dead grass (not living) and be's careful not to tread on any creatures (such as insects). It has the body of a large deer, the tail of an ox and the hooves of a horse. It's horn on its head is smaller than a unicorns and is made of flesh.
Yeti Not much is known about it, except that it may be an evolved neanderthal.Yeti's are discribed as gentle but inhumanly powerfull creatures that appear to resemble a white haired huge manape. Its other names are the abominable snowboarder, sorry, snowman but the Indians call it Sasquatch, Wauk Wauk or Ice Giant. In Africa it is reffered to as the Nandi Bear or Chemosit. In England it is usually called Bigfoot.
Fox Spirit In appearance, these Chinese fox differ little from foxes from everywhere else in the world. They are said to live anywhere up to 1000 years and each body part has a different magic power. A fox spirit can transform into many different forms and is considered a very bad omen. Supposedly they can create fires just by banging their tails on the ground.
The Squonk The saddest beast known in legends. Little is known of him except that he is extremely depressed due to the ugliness of his skin. It is said to be covered with warts and moles.

What are these exes up to?
Even though Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom ended their romantic relationship about a year ago, it seems their connection is definitely not gone. The exes were spotted on vacation together in the Maldives this week, hanging out and enjoying the warm weather.
According to E! News, a source confirmed, "Katy was in Dubai and then stopped over in Maldives where she met up with Orlando." She was just a few hours away, so she swung by to catch up with her old flame. What a life.
"Katy and Orlando have never lost touch and it's nothing serious," according to an E! News source. "They keep in contact frequently, and Orlando is understanding of her crazy schedule right now. It's pretty casual between the two."
Someone even caught the pair grabbing a bite together despite their baseball cap disguises.
After the two split last February, Perry cleared up rumors about any bad blood between them saying, "U can still b friends & love ur former partners! No one's a victim or a villain."
This isn't the first time Perry and Bloom have been seen together since their split. In August, they went to an Ed Sheeran concert together and were spotted kissing and holding hands.
If "keeping it cool" involves a quick swing by the Maldives, that actually kinda sounds ideal.

The duo relocated to Grand Rapids, Michigan, where they finished their first EP called "Ordinaire."
