RIMPAC 2000 All dressed up begins, stresses interoperability Compiled from Third Fleet and Marine Corps Public Affairs releases Six Pacific Rim nations and the United Kingdom are participating in Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) 2000, a major maritime exercise being conducted in the waters off Hawaii from May 30 through July 6. RIM- PAC 2000 brings together maritime forces from Australia, Canada, Chile, Japan, the Republic of Korea, the United Kingdom and the United States. This year's exercise is the seventeenth in a series of RIMPAC exer- cises conducted periodically since 1971. More than 50 ships, 200 air- craft and 22,000 Sailors, Airmen, Marines, Soldiers and Coast Guardsmen will participate in RIMPAC training operations. RIMPAC is intended to enhance the tactical proficiency of partici- pating units in a wide array of combined operations at sea. By enhanc- ing interoperability, RIMPAC helps to promote stability in the Pacific Rim region to the benefit of all participating nations. This year's exer- cise includes a variety of surface combatant ships, submarines, tactical aircraft, amphibious forces and a U.S. aircraft carrier battle group. The U.S. Third Fleet, commanded by Vice Adm. Dennis V. McGinn, is responsible for overall exercise coordination. Individual units remain under operational control of their respective national comman- ders throughout the exercise. Sgt.

    Ancient Greece. ¡ The Basilisc was an extremely deadly serpent, whose touch alone could wither plants and kill a man. ¡ The creature is later shown in the form of a serpent- tailed bird. ¡ Cerberus was the gigantic hound which guarded the gates of Haides. ¡ He was posted to prevent ghosts of the dead from leaving the underworld. ¡ Cerberus was described as a three- headed dog with a serpent's tail, a mane of snakes, and a lion's claws. The Chimera The Chimera was a monstrous beast with the body and maned head of a lion, a goat's head rising from its back, a set of goat-udders, and a serpents tail. It could also breath fire. The hero Bellerophon rode into battle to kill it on the back of the winged horse Pegasus. ¡ The Gryphon or Griffin was a beast with the head and wings of an eagle and the body of a lion. ¡ A tribe of the beasts guarded rich gold deposits in certain mountains. HYDRA was a gigantic, nine-headed water-serpent. Hercules was sent to destroy her as one of his twelve labours, but for each of her heads that he decapitated, two more sprang forth. So he used burning brands to stop the heads regenerating. The Gorgons The Gorgons were three powerful, winged daemons named Medusa, Sthenno and Euryale. Of the three sisters only Medousa was mortal, and so it was her head which the King commanded the young hero Perseus to fetch. He accomplished this with the help of the gods who equipped him with a reflective shield, curved sword, winged boots and helm of invisibility.

  • Press Release
    Press Release German Workmanship for the USA Pegasus & Dragon at Gulfstream Park, Miami, USA: Strassacker art foundry creates largest bronze horse sculpture in the world The Strassacker art foundry has implemented the vision of numerous architects, town plan- ners and artists. The list of national and international references is just as long. After all, the complete processing of small-scale and complex art projects from conceptualisation through coordination of the artists, architects, authorities and companies involved, right through to the final assembly stage is among the core competencies of the company from Süßen. "But when the first sketches of Pegasus & Dragon arrived in Süßen for review around three years ago, even the most experienced members of staff initially looked at it in disbelief", recollect Edith Strassacker and Günter Czasny. "The bronze statue Pegasus & Dragon was already one of the greatest challenges in our company's history, which spans close to a century", report the presiding managing director and the deputy managing direc- tor of the family-owned company that employs 500 members of staff. Even motorists travelling along the busy U.S. Highway 1 in Miami, Florida, over the past few months have wondered, in astonishment, what was being constructed close to Hallandale Beach in Gulfstream Park. The 33-metre-high metal structure that gleams in the sun and that took up to 100 workers to create, all of them working in tandem, was the talk of the town on the legendary federal highway that runs the length of the East Coast of the USA. The result that emerged upon conclusion of construction in November 2014 is no less spec- tacular.

  • Animal Creatures and Creation
    Curriculum Units by Fellows of the Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute 1998 Volume II: Cultures and Their Myths Universal Myths and Symbols: Animal Creatures and Creation Curriculum Unit 98.02.05 by Pedro Mendia-Landa Mythology and mythological ideas permeate all languages, cultures and lives. Myths affect us in many ways, from the language we use to how we tell time; mythology is an integral presence. The influence mythology has in our most basic traditions can be observed in the language, customs, rituals, values and morals of every culture, yet the limited extent of our knowledge of mythology is apparent. In general we have today a poor understanding of the significance of myths in our lives. One way of studying a culture is to study the underlying mythological beliefs of that culture, the time period of the origins of the culture’s myths, the role of myth in society, the symbols used to represent myths, the commonalties and differences regarding mythology, and the understanding a culture has of its myths. Such an exploration leads to a greater understanding of the essence of a culture. As an elementary school teacher I explore the role that mythology plays in our lives and the role that human beings play in the world of mythology. My objective is to bring to my students’ attention stories that explore the origins of the universe and the origins of human kind, and to encourage them to consider the commonalties and differences in the symbols represented in cross-cultural universal images of the creation of the world. I begin this account of my unit by clarifying the differences between myth, folklore, and legend, since they have been at times interchangeably and wrongly used.

  • Constellation Legends
    Constellation Legends by Norm McCarter Naturalist and Astronomy Intern SCICON Andromeda – The Chained Lady Cassiopeia, Andromeda’s mother, boasted that she was the most beautiful woman in the world, even more beautiful than the gods. Poseidon, the brother of Zeus and the god of the seas, took great offense at this statement, for he had created the most beautiful beings ever in the form of his sea nymphs. In his anger, he created a great sea monster, Cetus (pictured as a whale) to ravage the seas and sea coast. Since Cassiopeia would not recant her claim of beauty, it was decreed that she must sacrifice her only daughter, the beautiful Andromeda, to this sea monster. So Andromeda was chained to a large rock projecting out into the sea and was left there to await the arrival of the great sea monster Cetus. As Cetus approached Andromeda, Perseus arrived (some say on the winged sandals given to him by Hermes). He had just killed the gorgon Medusa and was carrying her severed head in a special bag. When Perseus saw the beautiful maiden in distress, like a true champion he went to her aid. Facing the terrible sea monster, he drew the head of Medusa from the bag and held it so that the sea monster would see it. Immediately, the sea monster turned to stone. Perseus then freed the beautiful Andromeda and, claiming her as his bride, took her home with him as his queen to rule. Aquarius – The Water Bearer The name most often associated with the constellation Aquarius is that of Ganymede, son of Tros, King of Troy.

Permissions: Sharing the web link / URL to where this booklet sits on the Talk for Writing website with colleagues and parents is encouraged, but no part of this publication should be re-uploaded elsewhere online, reproduced or altered without permission. www.talk4writing.com World famous, flying- horse specialist Pie Corbett is putting together The Ultimate Guide to Unicorns and Flying Horses. Pie is well- known as a unicorn whisperer and has researched the unicorns of Asia as well as varieties of frost unicorns living in Iceland and other wintry places. Your job, should you accept this mission, is to provide Pie with another entry for his book by writing about a type of unicorn or flying horse. Information with a touch of ‘faction’ In this workbook, we are going to be writing an information text about a type of unicorn or flying horse. Of course, these are mythological figures. Even though this is a non-fiction genre of writing, we can still be inventive and creative. We like calling it FACTION because the form fits information about facts but the content is fiction.
