Too many young girls were becoming pregnant dur- ing their puberty years. His frustration at his inability to spread the word of safe sexual practices led him to design a small informa- tional page on the World Wide Web. Through this medium, Jones hoped to educate more boys and girls in their early years about how to practice safe sex by using street language he knew they would understand.

  • Hesiod Theogony.Pdf
    Hesiod (8th or 7th c. BC, composed in Greek) The Homeric epics, the Iliad and the Odyssey, are probably slightly earlier than Hesiod’s two surviving poems, the Works and Days and the Theogony. Yet in many ways Hesiod is the more important author for the study of Greek mythology. While Homer treats cer- tain aspects of the saga of the Trojan War, he makes no attempt at treating myth more generally. He often includes short digressions and tantalizes us with hints of a broader tra- dition, but much of this remains obscure. Hesiod, by contrast, sought in his Theogony to give a connected account of the creation of the universe. For the study of myth he is im- portant precisely because his is the oldest surviving attempt to treat systematically the mythical tradition from the first gods down to the great heroes. Also unlike the legendary Homer, Hesiod is for us an historical figure and a real per- sonality. His Works and Days contains a great deal of autobiographical information, in- cluding his birthplace (Ascra in Boiotia), where his father had come from (Cyme in Asia Minor), and the name of his brother (Perses), with whom he had a dispute that was the inspiration for composing the Works and Days. His exact date cannot be determined with precision, but there is general agreement that he lived in the 8th century or perhaps the early 7th century BC. His life, therefore, was approximately contemporaneous with the beginning of alphabetic writing in the Greek world. Although we do not know whether Hesiod himself employed this new invention in composing his poems, we can be certain that it was soon used to record and pass them on.

In this passage Cicero tells the story of the Sword of Damocles: 1 Dionysus, tyrannus Syracusanorum, iudicavit quam esset beatus. Nam cum quidam ex eius adsentatoribus, 2 Damocles nomine, commemoraret in sermone copias eius, opes, maiestatem dominatãs, rerum abundantiam, 3 magnificentiam aedium regiarum, negaretque umquam beatiorem quemquam fuisse, “Visne igitur,” inquit, “O 4 Damocle, quoniam te haec vita delectat, ipse eam degustare et fortunam experiri meam?” Cum se ille cupere 5 dixisset, conlocari iussit hominem in aureo lecto strato pulcherrimo textili stragulo, abacosque complures ornavit 6 argento auroque. Tum ad mensam pueros delectos iussit consistere illumque diligenter ministrare. Aderant 7 unguenta, coronae, incendebantur odores, mensae conquisitissimis epulis exstruebantur. Fortunatus sibi Damocles 8 videbatur. In hoc medio apparatu, Dionysus fulgentem gladium e lacunari saet~ equin~ aptum demitti iussit, ut 9 impenderet illius beati cervici. Itaque nec pulchros illos ministratores aspiciebat nec plenum artis argentum, nec 10 manum porrigebat in mensam. Denique exoravit tyrannum ut abire liceret, quod iam beatus nollet esse.

  • Operas Performed in New York City in 2013 (Compiled by Mark Schubin)
    Operas Performed in New York City in 2013 (compiled by Mark Schubin) What is not included in this list: There are three obvious categories: anything not performed in 2013, anything not within the confines of New York City, and anything not involving singing. Empire Opera was supposed to perform Montemezzi’s L'amore dei tre re in November; it was postponed to January, so it’s not on the list. Similarly, even though Bard, Caramoor, and Peak Performances provide bus service from midtown Manhattan to their operas, even though the New York City press treats the excellent but four-hours-away-by-car Glimmerglass Festival like a local company, and even though it’s faster to get from midtown Manhattan to some performances on Long Island or in New Jersey or Westchester than to, say, Queens College, those out-of-city productions are not included on the main list (just for reference, I put Bard, Caramoor, and Peak Performances in an appendix). And, although the Parterre Box New York Opera Calendar (which includes some non-opera events) listed A Rite, a music-theatrical dance piece performed at the BAM Opera House, I didn’t because no performer in it sang. I did not include anything that wasn’t a local in-person performance. The cinema transmissions from the Met, Covent Garden, La Scala, etc., are not included (nor is the movie Metallica: Through the Never, which Owen Gleiberman in Entertainment Weekly called a “grand 3-D opera”). I did not include anything that wasn’t open to the public, so the Met’s workshop of Scott Wheeler’s The Sorrows of Frederick is not on the list.

  • The Titan's Curse
    THE TITAN'S CURSE Percy Jackson and the Olympians Book - 3 Rick Riordan ONE MY RESCUE OPERATION GOES VERY WRONG The Friday before winter break, my mom packed me an overnight bag and a few deadly weapons and took me to a new boarding school. We picked up my friends Annabeth and Thalia on the way. It was an eight-hour drive from New York to Bar Harbor, Maine. Sleet and snow pounded the highway. Annabeth, Thalia, and I hadn't seen each other in months, but between the blizzard and the thought of what we were about to do, we were too nervous to talk much. Except for my mom. She talks more when she's nervous. By the time we finally got to Westover Hall, it was getting dark, and she'd told Annabeth and Thalia every embarrassing baby story there was to tell about me. Thalia wiped the fog off the car window and peered outside. "Oh, yeah. This'll be fun." Westover Hall looked like an evil knight's castle. It was all black stone, with towers and slit windows and a big set of wooden double doors. It stood on a snowy cliff overlooking this big frosty forest on one side and the gray churning ocean on the other. "Are you sure you don't want me to wait?" my mother asked. "No, thanks, Mom," I said. "I don't know how long it will take. We'll be okay." "But how will you get back? I'm worried, Percy." I hoped I wasn't blushing.
