![]() ![]() Since he didn’t accept the gift of either power or wisdom, he clearly lacked both and went after Helene anyway. And so was Paris, as it happens, to a nymph named Oenone. The problem was, Helene, otherwise known as Helen of Troy, was already married. Paris chose Aphrodite and she got the apple. In fact, she was the most beautiful woman in all the land. But Aphrodite offered him the option of beautiful wife named Helene. Both of the gifts sounded tempting, especially to a mortal with minimal status, and possibly limited intelligence, when compared to a god. Hera offered him power, while Athena offered wisdom. Each of the goddesses offered a gift to him, with the hope of influencing his choice. Paris, being a human male, was overwhelmed with the beauty of all the goddesses and very confused about his decision. Knowing better than to actually make this particular decision, considering its obvious consequences, Zeus called upon Hermes to escort the three goddesses to Troy to meet with Paris, the mortal prince of the city. Zeus, was called in to mediate the decision regarding the fairest goddess. Ancient Greek goddesses are far better known for their vanity than their modesty. ![]() Aphrodite, Hera and Athena all immediately claimed the apple. That cunning move was the equivalent of throwing raw meat into a lion’s den. The goddess of discord tossed a beautiful golden apple, which turned out to be the apple of discord, amongst the goddesses who were guests at the wedding. ![]() Eris was bitter about being left off the event list so she showed up uninvited with a scheme to cause trouble. Thetis was a coveted bachelorette goddess and her wedding was going to be quite the event. Judgement of ParisĪll the gods and goddesses were sent an invitation to attend the wedding of Peleus and Thetis, except for the goddess of discord, Eris, who wasn’t invited or welcome. Hera was given the original apple branches by Gaia, the primordial deity and mother of all life, for her wedding gift when she married Zeus. The consumption of a golden apple from this special orchard results in immortality. Hera’s golden apple orchard is the Garden of the Hesperides in the mythology. However, most mythologists agree the garden was probably somewhere west of the river of Oceanus, around ancient Phoenicia on the northern coast of Africa. Ladon is the name of a river in Arcadia as well as of the dragon of the myths, so the garden may have been in that region of Greece. There are other proposed locations as well. One location locals claim to be the setting for the magical garden is the site of the ancient Roman city of Lixus, which is located in a town called Larache in Morocco today. Sometimes they were referred to as the Daughters of the Evening or the Nymphs of the West. It seems that they were certainly the offspring of one important deity or another, but Greek mythology is complex and their definitive parentage remains an ongoing mystery for the mythologists to solve.ĭespite the inconclusive parentage and varying number of nymphs, we do know that they stayed in Hera’s garden amongst the golden apple orchards. ![]() Zeus and Atlas have been mentioned as being their possible father, too. They have also been called the children of Nyx, the goddess of night, and Erubus, the god of darkness. Some stories say they are the daughters of Hesperus. The mythology isn’t completely clear on the bloodline of the nymphs. Because the sun sets in the west, it is assumed that they were in the far west, and their home was an island sometimes called Hesperia, meaning evening, and otherwise called Erytheia, which means red, the color of the setting sun. The precise location of the Hesperides has never been determined. In addition, it is the name for the planet Venus as it appears in the nighttime sky, also known as the evening star. The name Hesperides – and the name of their father in some of the myths, Hesperus – is derived from the Latin word hesperos, meaning evening. However, despite the other ambiguities, it is generally agreed that they were beautiful and had wonderful sweet voices. Most sources say there were between four and seven nymphs that stayed in the garden of Hesperides. There is an ongoing debate as to the parentage of the Hesperides, as well as exactly how many there were. ![]()

In general, modern watches often display the day, date, month, and year. They generally incorporate timekeeping functions, but these are only a small subset of the smartwatch's facilities. Developments in the 2010s include smart watches, which are elaborate computer-like electronic devices designed to be worn on a wrist. Historically, this is called the quartz revolution (also known as quartz crisis in Switzerland). By the 1980s the quartz watch had taken over most of the market from the mechanical watch. In the 1960s the electronic quartz watch was invented, which was powered by a battery and kept time with a vibrating quartz crystal. During most of its history the watch was a mechanical device, driven by clockwork, powered by winding a mainspring, and keeping time with an oscillating balance wheel. Watches were developed in the 17th century from spring-powered clocks, which appeared as early as the 14th century. A pocket watch is designed for a person to carry in a pocket, often attached to a chain. A wristwatch is designed to be worn around the wrist, attached by a watch strap or other type of bracelet, including metal bands, leather straps, or any other kind of bracelet.

Rough Draft of History has much to teach us.”-James Morone, Brown University Amenta and Caren look at four major newspapers from 1900 forward, to learn which movements got coverage, what kinds of coverage they got, when they got it, and why. “This exciting and important book breaks fresh ground in the study of political movements. In this important and innovative book, Amenta and Caren do just that, offering a rich, historically sensitive portrait of American social movements as seen through the often-distorting lens of the country’s newspapers.”-Doug McAdam, Stanford University “Scholars use newspaper articles to understand social movements, but rarely have they sought to systematically understand the dynamics of press coverage. Combining historical sweep with analytical sensibilities, this fascinating account of media attention and the notice-seeking strategies of movements illuminates critical trends and developments."-Ira Katznelson, Columbia University " Rough Draft of History is an evocative, often surprising consideration of the links between social movements and the press. This careful investigation extends our understanding of the role of the Fourth Estate in movement politics.”-Lee Ann Banaszak, Pennsylvania State University Amenta and Caren explore the central role of media and the factors that influence the coverage social movements receive. “A comprehensive, compelling analysis of print media’s coverage of social movements, Rough Draft of History is a great read for activists and social movement scholars alike.

They also reveal that the media handled the civil rights movement far more harshly than popular histories recount. They recover forgotten stories, including that of the Townsend Plan, a Depression-era organization that helped establish Social Security. Amenta and Caren show why some organizations made big news while others did not, why some were treated well while others were handled roughly. But so too did now-forgotten groups, such as the German-American Alliance, Committee to Defend America by Aiding the Allies, and Peace and Freedom Party.

However, I don't necessarily agree with your methods of solving the problem. I totally agree with you that the meta has gotten way out of hand. I think essence orb will remain overpowered without efforts to curb not only its quickcast potential, but also the very trade itself. Before I say anything on this topic specifically, I've already tried to balance essence orb before in this post. This is an interesting argument given it isn't backed by a standard mathematical argument. Is there an obvious flaw with my suggestions?ĭon't hesitate to leave post below with your thoughts and suggestions! It's not a perfect solution, but provides a much more reasonable cap on the player's quickcast effects than the current state of affairs. They can use the extra action to attempt to stun the monster, buff themselves or regain resources via miscs like Essence Orb and Pixel Ether once they run out of Action Points, they can no longer use quickcast effects this turn. I suggest giving the player 2 Action Points per turn which they can use for quickcast effects (3 actions total per turn). ![]() Realistically, people don't have an infinite amount of time to cast their buffs or debuffs - the enemy won't stand still and watch you grow stronger (at least if they're not under effects of a world-class item). They won't be quickcast anymore, but they would get a bonus (75-100% melee) to their effects to compensate. Make Arcane Amplification, Buffalot, Element Imbues and other such spells have a turn cost. Change Love Potion and Shadowfeeder into passive effects, providing a chance to gain control/celerity. Turn Mesmerize, Snarl and Panic into toggles, paying 50% melee to attempt to inflict the effect at the end of each turn. ![]() It's probably the easiest way to resolve the quickcast issue, though, since we've only got about 10-20 skills/spells/items with quickcast effects. I have two solutions available - one rather radical, the other more conservative:Īs you can guess, this is the radical suggestion. I know it's tempting to continue to play the game on easy mode, but we're now a fourth of the way into year 2019, and you have to ask yourself - when was the last time you were actually excited over the equipment release (Frostval and Bloodzerker notwithstanding)? When was the last time you've actually struggled with a boss or tried new tactics? Stun meta and Essence Orb are killing the game, and their quickast nature is what allows them to do so. Essence Orb is the cherry on top, serving as the ultimate enabler of the stun-meta. Quickcast stuns provide an unreasonable damage bonus via free EleComp, quickcast buffs stack on top of that and Purple Rain means that you gain a bonus to your resources magnitudes higher than the 50% melee that a 1/battle effect is supposed to be. It does not, however, operate in absence. In an absence of all other effects, quickcast would be quite reasonable - a direct conversion of your resources into buffs and debuffs, at reduced efficiency due to a lack of a turn cost. What's in common between both issues? Their quickcast effect. The fact that the misc is technically balanced only makes it worse, since there's not much that can be done to change it. ![]() It renders moot all sp-regen items and leaves the player with no reason to actually use standard weapon attacks. Likewise, Essence Orb is the most broken item in the game. It forces the staff to craft monsters and create patches in attempt to counter the meta, and leaves the playerbase frustrated with non-meta equipment and weak boss monsters. I think everybody can agree that the current stun meta is overpowered and overall bad for the game. ![]() ![]() ![]() Jeff Striegle (booth announcer, 2013–present).Alex Hayden (Lead booth announcer, 2019–present).Norfolk: WTAR (except during Washington Commanders seasons in September–November)Ģ013 Motor Racing Network announcers (from left to right) Buddy Long, Kurt Becker, Alex Hayden, Mike Bagley and Kyle Rickey riding in a golf cart at Road America.Miami/Fort Lauderdale/West Palm Beach: WMIA-FM 93.9 HD2.MRN has about 600 affiliate stations, including: ![]() This changed on Januwhen MRN's Barney Hall announced the launch of Sirius XM NASCAR Radio on Sirius XM.

In addition to NASCAR races, MRN broadcasts the majority of the ARCA Menards Series and once had exclusive coverage of the United SportsCar Championship (IMSA now does the radio broadcasts) and Formula One, including the United States Grand Prix, which returned in the 2012 season at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas and offers other race related programs. All races are also carried on Sirius XM NASCAR Radio.

It also broadcasts the NASCAR All-Star Race, and the entire Truck Series season (although clearance of Xfinity and Truck Series events may vary by station). MRN is one of the two main radio broadcasters of the NASCAR Cup Series and Xfinity Series, covering events held at tracks owned by NASCAR, along with Pocono Raceway and World Wide Technology Raceway. Its first broadcast was the 1970 Daytona 500. and broadcaster Ken Squier, and is a wholly owned subsidiary of NASCAR.
