Podcasts about Scylla

Le Chien est le premier animal massivement domestiqué par l'être humain. C'était il y a environ 12 000 ans, plusieurs millénaires avant le cheval, le chat, le bétail...Tous les chiens actuels, du Chihuahua au Dogue allemand, sont des Canis lupus familiaris. Ils descendent tous sans exceptions du loup, Canis lupus lupus. Les premiers domestiqués étaient probablement originaires d'Asie. Tous les chiens et les loups font partie, comme leurs noms scientifiques l'indiquent, de la même espèce !Le nom Chien vient du grec "kuon", qui connaissait aussi un autre mot, "skulax", qui désignait le jeune chien. Le célèbre monstre marin "Scylla" de Charybde et Scylla avait six têtes de chiens. Les pauvres marins qui échappaient au récif ou vivait Scylla risquaient d'être engloutis par les tourbillons d'un autre récif : Charybde.Le plus fidèle - et le plus vieil - ami de l'homme est partout dans la langue française : canari, requin, canicule, canine, cagneux, cynique, chienlit, chenille viennent de l'une ou l'autre étymologie de chien ! _______

Market volatility isn't new, but over the past year it has intensified due to tariff tensions, unpredictable interest rates, and persistent inflation, leaving investors to navigate contradictory and confusing economic signals. This raises a critical question for investors: how can you make wise decisions when news cycles outpace policy changes and traditional indicators seem  unreliable?In this episode of Smart Advice, host Carissa Lucreziano welcomes back David Wong, Chief Investment Officer and Head of Total Investment Solutions at CIBC Global Asset Management. With decades of experience guiding investors through economic storms, David brings clarity to a chaotic moment. He breaks down what's really happening with Canadian and global markets, discusses the potential for recession amid tariff uncertainties, and highlights the evolving roles of fixed income, gold, and alternatives in a diversified portfolio. Additionally, David also explores the impact of artificial intelligence as a future growth driver and its potential implications for investment strategies. He emphasizes the importance of staying invested during turbulent times and offers insights into low-volatility equity strategies as a practical approach to managing risk.This episode provides a strategic perspective on investing, offering practical insights on managing risk and refining your investment strategy amidst the noise of the headlines.Here are three reasons why you should listen to this episode:Understand how global tariff tensions and inflation are shaping Canadian markets—and what that means for your investment strategy.Discover effective strategies for building a resilient, diversified portfolio that can weather short-term volatility without sacrificing long-term growth.Explore the influence of artificial intelligence and alternative investments on market trends and your investment approach.ResourcesCIBC's "Smart Advice" Podcast and WebsiteVisit CAM Investment insights for timely expert insights and research Visit CIBC for more Smart AdviceChicago Mercantile Exchange FedWatch ToolC.D. Howe Institute's Business Cycle CouncilMcKinsey Study on AI AdoptionGoldman Sachs Forecast on AI ImpactEpisode Highlights[00:25] Navigating 2025 with a resilient investment strategyMarket turbulence in 2025 means Canadians need to adapt their investment strategy.David Wong describes the current market in one word: “challenged”.[02:41] David: “More than anything, the uncertainty surrounding where tariffs will ultimately settle is creating challenges on planning for investments from businesses and big ticket purchases from consumers.”He outlines the major factors distorting traditional economic indicators—particularly tariffs—and explains how these distortions complicate policy decisions.As uncertainty continues to cloud the outlook, the importance of adaptable, long-term strategies becomes even more apparent.[04:23] Impact of tariffs and interest rates on investmentsTwo possible economic scenarios are in the Bank of Canada's latest monetary policy report—one involving tariff resolution, and the other pointing toward global trade conflict.Interest rate expectations in the U.S. have shifted; markets are now pushing back rate cut forecasts due to persistent inflation.In Canada, rising unemployment and stubborn core inflation have increased the risk of recession, adding more weight to central bank decisions.Rather than react to every policy shift, a better investment strategy may be to build diversified portfolios that reflect multiple possible outcomes.[09:07] Volatility and market reactionsMarket movements in April reflect just how reactive investors have become to tariff-related headlines, swinging sharply with each new development.David emphasizes that inflation remains a key concern—one that hasn't been resolved post-COVID and could be exacerbated by global trade tensions.In times like these, staying invested and resisting panic is more valuable than ever, especially for those with a long investment horizon.Low-volatility equity strategies are suggested as a practical way to stay the course while addressing investor concerns around risk.[13:08] Investment allocation and diversificationCarissa raises the question of whether investors should stay Canada-focused or explore U.S. and international markets for growth.David explains that while U.S. exposure has historically delivered strong returns, overconcentration can pose risks—especially in uncertain times.Artificial intelligence is flagged as a future growth driver with long-term potential. However, it likely will not make a significant impact for several years.Diversification across regions, sectors, and asset types—including gold and fixed income—is presented as a foundational strategy for resilience.[20:33] Risk management and investment approachRisk isn't just about volatility, it's about understanding what drives market changes and how to prepare for them.[21:06] David: “Reward and risk are related concepts, and you simply can't get reward without taking some level of risk.”David introduces CIBC's Managed Solutions framework, built on three pillars: purpose, structure, and fulfillment.By focusing on fundamental diversification, his team aims to deliver consistent value even in unpredictable market conditions.Balancing short-term noise with long-term discipline remains key, especially as markets send mixed signals on a daily basis.[26:07] Final thoughts and investment frameworkDavid urges listeners to develop a clear investment framework aligned with their financial goals.He reinforces that earnings growth and bond yields—not daily headlines—are the real engines of long-term returns.[26:49] David: “The fear of missing out can be just as dangerous as overreacting to negative news. It's the Scylla and Charybdis of investing.”It's critical to contextualize media-driven fear and avoid impulsive decisions; overcorrecting due to media can severely damage a portfolio.Canadians can confidently navigate market uncertainty, but have to remain disciplined while diversifying their portfolios and utilizing expert insight.About David David is responsible for CIBC Global Asset Management's managed solutions investment process and portfolio management.

BOOKS UNDER DISCUSSION: Leslie Butler, Consistent Democracy: The "Woman Question" and Self-Government in Nineteenth-Century America (Oxford University Press, 2023). Holly Case, The Age of Questions: Or, A First Attempt at an Aggregate History of the Eastern, Social, Woman, American, Jewish, Polish, Bullion, Tuberculosis, and Many Other Questions over the Nineteenth Century, and Beyond by Holly Case (Princeton University Press, 2018) Civilizations have faced challenges and debated how to manage them probably as long as civilization has existed. In our era we talk about these challenges as issues, or crises when perceived as more urgent. In the nineteenth century, what we now call issues or problems tended to be spoken of as questions. In this sprawling conversation, ranging from nineteenth-century “trolls” to the scalability of democracy in a various media ecosystems, Leslie Butler and Holly Case talk not only about the 19th-century questions that have captivated them as scholars, but also how, where, by whom, and to what ends these questions were discussed. When did posing questions serve to bring rationality and even-handedness to debates and when was it a rhetorical strategy intended to steer towards a particular end? Butler's analysis of the “Woman Question” in America's pursuit of “consistent democracy” distinguished between public opinion and published opinion while Case implicates the internationalization of the public sphere in the emergence of an “Age of Questions.” Have a listen as these erudite scholars contemplate the ways historians might navigate between the Scylla of cynicism and Charybdis of overly earnest naiveté in analyzing the past as well as in our current moment. Leslie Butler is a Professor of History at Dartmouth College in Hanover, NH. She is an American intellectual and cultural historian, with an emphasis on the nineteenth century. Holly Case is a historian of modern Europe at Brown University in Providence, RI. Her work focuses on the relationship between foreign policy, social policy, science, and literature in the European state system of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Youssef Swatt's en direct de Planète Rap ! Avec Médine, Durden, James Loup, Souffrance, Scylla...

You're not just bad if you notice. You're an antisemite deepstate operative apparently. Plus all the other names that mean nothing anymore.Segment 1: Ukraine and Zelensky Critique (00:02:08 - 00:20:03)* Main Topic: The hosts criticize Ukrainian President Zelensky, calling him weak and accusing him of sabotaging peace talks with the U.S. administration.* Key Points:* Ukraine is depicted as devastated, with no army left, conscripting the elderly and mentally handicapped.* Zelensky's attempt to "bully" the U.S., particularly J.D. Vance and Donald Trump, is mocked as illogical given Ukraine's dependence on U.S. support.* Claims of corruption: Ukrainian oligarchs allegedly misuse U.S. aid for personal gain (e.g., spending in Switzerland and U.S. ski resorts like Breckenridge).* Reference to a supposed list of U.S. politicians receiving kickbacks from Ukraine (e.g., Joe Biden: $92M, Mitch McConnell: $89M, Nancy Pelosi: $86M).* Tone: Sarcastic and hyperbolic, with strong anti-war sentiment and disdain for U.S. involvement.* Notable Quotes:* "Zelensky's a little bit of a b***h." (00:03:20)* "If you get the most warmongering homosexual on the planet [Lindsey Graham] to go against you, you done effed up." (00:08:15)Segment 2: U.S. Domestic Issues and Principles (00:20:03 - 00:27:00)* Topics Covered:* National Debt: Discussion of the U.S. debt ceiling rising to $40 trillion, with projections to $50 trillion, tying it to the Ukraine war funding.* Social Media Arguments: StwrongOne recounts debating former college and high school friends who support the war, challenging their willingness to send their own kids or money.* Political Hypocrisy: Critique of both parties, noting Republicans like Lindsey Graham and Mitt Romney allegedly taking Ukrainian money alongside Democrats.* Perspective: Emphasis on principles over party loyalty, advocating for peace and fiscal responsibility.* Notable Quote: "We're how many trillions of dollars in debt right now? 36... Going on 37." (00:14:27)Segment 3: Andrew Tate and Cultural Critique (01:26:50 - 01:37:39)* Main Topic: The hosts discuss Andrew Tate's arrival in America and his influence on young men.* Key Points:* Tate is criticized as a "whoremonger" promoting a lifestyle of avoiding marriage and having multiple "baby mamas," compared to figures like Elon Musk and Sean Kemp.* Rejection of Tate's philosophy as antithetical to biblical masculinity and conservative Christian values.* Assurance that young men are shifting toward conservative Christian ideals, not Tate's ideology, countering evangelical fears of his influence.* Tone: Passionate and dismissive, with a mix of humor and moral conviction.* Notable Quotes:* "If someone's telling you that being a whoremonger is based and being a committed married man is gay, you're an effing retard." (01:29:04)* "The people that are influenced by Andrew Tate aren't going to reproduce and push more values." (01:32:25)Segment 4: Courage and Biblical Boldness (01:37:39 - 01:47:06)* Guest Reference: Discussion inspired by Ernst Roets' appearance on Tucker Carlson, referencing the Odyssey's Scylla and Charybdis.* Key Points:* Courage is framed as a balance between cowardice and recklessness, with a preference for erring on the side of boldness when motivated by faith.* Biblical examples: David vs. Goliath, Jonathan's mountain attack, Israelites at Jericho, and David's Mighty Men fighting "lion men."* Call to action: Christians should be reckless for God's glory, not personal gain, contrasting with cultural cowardice.* Tone: Inspirational and scriptural, urging listeners to act boldly.* Notable Quote: "Cowardice got us where we are... Let's err on the side of recklessness." (01:46:47)Segment 5: UK Freedom of Speech and Final Thoughts (01:47:06 - 01:53:50)* Main Topic: The hosts address declining U.S. tourism to the UK due to strict social media scrutiny.* Key Points:* UK requires social media logins for visas, arresting Americans for past posts, leading some to delete accounts entirely.* Comparison to other nations: Canada, Germany, and the UK lack U.S.-style free speech; Mexico is freer due to apathy.* Encouragement to expose this issue and maintain faith despite global oppression.* Closing Prayer: A heartfelt prayer thanking God for U.S. freedoms and asking for strength to proclaim faith boldly.* Notable Quotes:* "The only country in the entire world that has a constitutional amendment that says we can say and think what we want is the United States." (01:50:00)* "Don't be astonished by the stupidity because it's going to happen because we live in a fallen and depraved world." (01:52:21)Outro (01:53:24 - 01:53:50)* Sign-Off: The hosts wrap up, encouraging listeners to like, share, and subscribe, reinforcing their mission to serve "the King of Kings, Christ Jesus."* Tagline: "Where the people are free, the taxes are voluntary, and your two kings serve the King of Kings."

A necessary evil. By wolvie19.  Listen to the Podcast at Steamy Stories. Authors note: This is a story based in medieval times. The council was silent, waiting for King Alexandros to speak. There was a tense atmosphere around. “Where is Prince Icarus?” the king asked. “My king, he must be on his way.” replied one of the council members. “Send someone and bring the prince here at once,” “No need father, I am here,” Icarus said as he walked in the chambers, “The streets required some cleaning. The rogues are running rampant.”“Tell me Icarus, is your ambition to be a King or the commander of the street patrol?” The court went silent. Icarus swallowed his pride knowing he was in the presence of the only person who he admired and feared. “The streets will be handled by the patrol, your job is to sit in the council and govern, learn to be a king. You need to control your thirst for violence and be at this table learning diplomacy.” “I apologize father,” the prince said as he sat at his chair. “What word do we have from the North?” the king asked “Our diplomats are negotiating a deal with the King Boroth's diplomats. The water shortage in our kingdom could be solved if they release the flow of any of the 4 rivers flowing through their kingdom, ” Replied the minister of foreign affairs. “What is their demand?” “They have none, there is nothing from us that they want.” “I want a solution to this, while the diplomats are negotiating, I want the others to look into alternate sources. I cannot watch the citizens of Consentia die of hunger and thirst. All of you gone, Linus you and Icarus stay.” Everyone leaves the chamber with only Linus and Icarus staying. Linus was a young member of the council. His extraordinary wits and network of spies had brought him from the streets of Consentia to the chamber of the king. “Linus, you did not speak a single word in the council. Tell me what is it that you have in mind.” “Father, with all due respect if now is not the time to go to war, when is? When half the citizens are dead, and the rest are revolting?” “Have you every fought a war with an angry stomach Icarus? Our soldiers cannot go to war right now. War is not the solution” “My King, if I may, war maybe the solution.” “Linus, do you truly believe we can win a war against Andburn and win?” “We wouldn't, but Sparta would.” “And why would Sparta go to war with us. I am sure you are aware we have previously discussed this with Queen Dione, and she said she is not interested in a war right now.” “My King, they won't go to war with us, but we could with them.” “What do you mean?” asked Icarus. “My King, I have a way, it is risky but would work.” “Go on!” ordered the king. “My spies inform me that Princess Syclla, Queen Dione's youngest sister is involved with the Prince of the North Izsak, son of King Boroth. I have reports, Izsak is out on a hunt and has invited Scylla to his camp, in secrecy of course. Queen Dione does not approve of this union. If something were to happen to Princess Scylla in the shelter of Izsak. ” “Then Dione would declare a war against Andburn.” “And we as their ally would join the way from the south as Sparta attacks from the East. We know Spartans don't care much for diplomacy and would take no prisoners. If King Boroth dies on the battlefield and Prince Izsak in Dione's captive, it would be easier to broker a peace treaty with Princess Lyssa. Perhaps a union of Prince Icarus with the only living heir to the throne of Andburn.” “Linus, that is brilliant! How is the security level at Izsak's camp?” “It will be tight during the day, but Scylla is expected to arrive in the evening. To maintain secrecy, he will get rid of his security and keep only a few.” “Linus, no one outside the three of us should know about this. Icarus, you must carry out this task yourself. It is dangerous, but you must carry it. Linus, I trust Queen Dione would know that Princess Scylla is in danger and being kidnapped?” “Queen Dione would know Princess Scylla is in danger, but she may not have all the information to get there in time to save Scylla from a drunk Prince Izsak,” Linus said. “Linus, everyone ridiculed me to pick a young scrawny man from the street and take him into the royal council. But every day you prove me right. Fill in Icarus with rest of the details. Remember, this does not go beyond us.” “My king!” both said as they bowed and walked out. Tanisa was a young healer who had quickly gained a name among the King's council for her knowledge of plants to make the most unique potions and poisons. She was young and beautiful, whitish skin, dark hair and smile that melted most men's heart. Her petite figure engorged any man who she walked past. “My Prince, may I enter?” Tanisa said knocking on the doors of Icarus' chamber. “Come in.” “Here is the potion you requested for. Two drops of this in any liquid will make any drink feel like a glass of rum. The entire vial would cause extreme inebriation and hallucination.” “Perfect, I thank you Tanisa” “Anything else I can do my Prince?” “That will be all for now.” Icarus said as carefully put the vials in his sack. “Are you sure my prince?” Icarus turned, Tanisa had untied the knots of her robes and holding the dress just above her breasts stopping it from dropping down. Icarus moved closer to Tanisa and gently caressed his hand around her cheek “I have something important to focus on, I don't need any distractions right now.” “Of course, my Prince,” Icarus said releasing her arms and letting her dress drop. “But it is well known that a man's path to victory is most clear when all his other distractions, urges are taken care of.” Tanisa slowly moved towards Icarus and started moving her hand over the Prince's cock. She could feel Icarus' cock bulging as she rubbed his cock over his clothing. Icarus ran his fingers gently through the side of her face and move the lock of her ear. He put his hand in her air and pulled the pin from her hair opening her long hair and dropping it down Tanisa leaned into the prince and kissed his neck, “Do you have a preference my Prince?” Tanisa kissed lock his earlobe, “My vagina,” she kissed him on his neck again, “or perhaps my ass?” she said as she planted a deep kiss on his lips. They started kissing passionately. Icarus pushed a finger up her vagina. Tanisa let out a sensual moan. “My Prince, I, ” Icarus held Tanisa's hair tugging it slightly as he started stroking her vagina more violently. Tanisa was ecstatic at her debauchery, literally at the hands of the prince. She was on her toes as she felt like Icarus was almost picking her by her vagina. “Oh gods my prince, I'm cumming, ” Tanisa's body curled into a perfect half circle as a wave of orgasm hit her and she came. Tanisa slowly returned back to her sense. She reached her hands to Icarus' waist and pulled down his pants down. Tanisa didn't wait any time as she started licking the tip of Icarus' cock. Icarus could felt short on patience. At the surprise of Tanisa, he held the back of her head and pushed his cock all the way down Tanisa's throat. Tanisa was surprised at the size of his cock as she could feel the tip of his cock touch the back of her throat. Even then all of Icarus' cock wasn't all the way in Tanisa's mouth as he tried to push it down further Tanisa was at the brink of passing unable to breathe. She pulled the cock out of her mouth and continued trying to catch her breathe. As soon as she caught some air Icarus once again pushed his cock in her mouth. He put his hand on the back of her head and continued fucking her mouth. Tanisa began wanting to seduce the prince, but him fucking her tiny mouth with his cock was proving too much for her handle. She was doing the best trying to take it all in. “Aaah, your mouth is amazing. Don't stop Tanisa, don't stop.” Icarus started stroking harder fucking Tanisa's mouth. The gagging caused Tanisa's eyes getting teary. Icarus stopped and pulled his cock out, before he blew his load. He was enjoying Tanisa's lips around his cock more than he had anticipated. “Get up,” He said as he picked her up and bent her over the edge of his bed, “You're craving for my cock aren't you? You want to feel special getting fucked by the prince, don't you?” Icarus swiftly pushed his cock up Tanisa's vagina. Tanisa left out a loud moan as her pussy was stretched by Icarus' cock. “Tell me how badly you've wanted me to fuck you?” Icarus didn't take any mercy and started pounding her hard. “My prince, aaaah, ” Tanisa screamed, partially in ecstasy and partially in pain. “How long have you wanted my cock up your cunt, huh?” “ah, fuck,” Tanisa couldn't complete a word. “Tell me Tanisa, how long have you wanted my cock?” “Forever my prince, forever, ” Tanisa cried in pleasure. He pulled her by her hair and started biting her neck as he caressed her breasts. Tanisa had fantasized being fucked by the Prince for a long time, but never thought she would enjoy the royal cock so much “My King, fuck me harder, ah, fuck me harder. ” Icarus pushed her down again and continued ramming her hard. Tanisa screamed louder every time Icarus slapped her ass. “My king, ah, my, ” Icarus couldn't take it any longer as he reached climax and blew all his load inside Tanisa. The feeling of hot cum inside her, gave Tanisa the last push she needed as she reached her orgasm. They both collapsed on the bed. “You are a unique woman, Tanisa.” “I live to serve you, my King.” “Prince!” “I am not the King.” “Of course, not yet.” Authors note: This is second chapter of a long story based in medieval times. If you have not read the first chapter, I advise you to read the first chapter. Warning: The story contains some themes of war violence and mentions of rape (no description) Linus guided Icarus to the Izsak's camp. “My Prince, that is the camp right there.” “Linus, I've told you a number of times, we grew up together, and when it is just the two of us you can drop the formalities.” “Of course, Icarus, now listen to me carefully. Princess Scylla should be arriving soon, Izsak has already gotten rid of most of his security and only has his two trustworthy guards. Tanisa's potion will take about few minutes to take effect. You will have plenty of time before Queen Dione's men arrive.” “There she is, that is Scylla, isn't it?” “Yes, that is her.” “What's happening? Why are the guards leaving with her maid?” “I am guessing the princess wants some privacy. This makes things easier.” “I prefer a cleaner war, but if this is what is required for my people, so be it.” “Good luck Icarus!” Scylla & Izsak “Princess Scylla, you look beautiful. My eyes have been longing for your sight for so long.” “You are too kind Prince Izsak.” Spartan women were known warriors and could fight most men not Spartan, but Scylla was different. She was delicate as a flower, long wavy auburn hair reaching her butt. Her skin had a creamy complexion and deep dark eyes. Her smile was as pleasant as sunset. She was wearing long white robes suiting that of a princess, encompassing her slim body but showing the curves just at the right places. “Where is your security my love?” Izsak asked. “I couldn't risk, not yet. I could bring my only trusted maid.” “Don't worry my guards are” “My prince, I feel safe with you. We don't need these guards with us for now. You can relieve them of their duty for now.” “Are you sure my love?” “Yes, I am, and I believe these are your most trustworthy men. I have a reward for the trust you have in them. Matila will reward them tonight. They may have laid with many women, but no one fucks like a spartan woman.” She turned towards the soldiers, “But I must warn, Spartan women don't get under a man they don't love.” The maids leave each take hands of the guards and take them away. Matila A little away from the Izsak's tent, the two guards were enjoying the body of the only spartan woman they had ever been with Matila was on her knees taking sucking cock of one of the guards while the other one was pounding her from the back. Both men grunting at the glory of ravishing a spartan woman. She was enjoying her pounding while it suddenly stopped. The guard behind her collapsed on the side. As she looked up, she saw the second guard holding his neck trying to pull out the dart in his neck unsuccessfully as he too collapsed on the ground. Matila got up in horror and was about to scream, as she felt a hand grip her body and her mouth covered with another hand. “Scream and I will snap your neck.” Icarus said. The maid, still shook in horror, but held her nerves. “I do not have much time and certainly not going to repeat myself, so listen carefully. I am here on a mission. Lucky for you, the mission does not require your death. In fact, you are more useful to me alive than dead. Now, If you promise not to scream, I am going to take my hand of my mouth. Nod your head if you agree.” Matila agreed in compliance. Icarus released his hand over his mouth and her body, not allowing her to turn. The maid was shaking in horror trying to control her tears. “Take this,” Icarus said as he placed a vial in her hand, “You will go in the tent and put this in Prince Izsak's drink. This isn't poison, you won't be killing him, that is all you need to know. Once that is done you will calmly walk out and stand next to this tree facing the tent. Understood?” “Yes!” Matila replied meekly. “I will be watching you at every minute. I told you I don't need to kill you, but it won't bother me much. The slightest hint I get of you defying my orders and you will an arrow pierce through your heart.” Matila's eyes popped in horror, but she nodded in compliance. “Go now!” Matila wiped the tears of her face and followed his instructions. She asked for permission to enter the tent. When she entered the tent, she found Izsak and Scylla cuddled up to each other on the bed. In the corner of the tent, she saw a small hole in the tent and eyes looking at her. She poured them a drink and silently poured the vial in Izsak's wine, “My Prince, the finest wine from Spart,” she said presenting him the wine. The prince not bothered to take his eyes from princes Scylla for even a moment grabbed the glass and began sipping the wine. “Is there anything else I can do?” “That is all Matila, thank you!” Scylla responded. Matila walked out of the tent and took a bid breathe of air contemplating the act of treason she had just performed. She stood near the tree as instructed waiting for what net would happen. “You've done well,” she heard a voice from behind. She got startled and almost screamed but Icarus gripped her again and covered her mouth. “Remember, no screaming. You've done what was asked of you, and as promised I won't kill you. But you realize you've done something terrible, if you wish to live you need to do exactly what I tell you. Nod if you agree.” Matila nodded. “You will be asked what happened here. You will tell everyone; you were accompanying Princess Scylla to the temple of Kahn when you were attacked by the two guards lying behind you. You saw Prince Izsak take Scylla in his tent and in a few moments heard her scream as these guards were raping you. Understood?” Icarus took the hand off her mouth still holding her by a tight grip. “When you wake up, you will tell the Spartans the last thing you remember was Scylla's screams going silent. Understood?” “When I wake up ?” Matila tried asking just as she felt a small prick in her neck. Before she could feel the pain of something poked in her neck, she felt unconscious and crumbled down in Icarus' arms. As Matila left the tent, Izsak and Scylla were kissing each other, feeling each other's bodies as they were letting out the frustration due to being away from each other. “My love, I have missed you so much,” Scylla said finding difficult to let go off Izsak's lips. “Me too my love, but we don't have to stay separated anymore,” Izsak said. Scylla stopped for a moment, “What do you mean?” “Let's elope, you and I, away from everyone, everything.” “But where would we go? If either of our families find us, it would be the end of us.” “I have thought about it. I have secretly setup a house far east in the city of Leopolis. I have accumulated small wealth and a trade under a different name. We will have to give up our royal lives and live a normal life, with each other.” There was sparkle in Scylla's eyes, “Is this really possible?” “Yes. Neither my father nor Queen Dione would reach that far east. They have no diplomatic relations with Queen Victoria. No one knows us there; we will be safe. But we will not by Prince and Princess anymore.” “I don't care for that, you will always be my King and I want to be your Queen,” Scylla said as she planted a deep passionate kiss. Their tongues were mingling each other as their lips met each other with passion. The thought of them being together had elevated the passion in the moment. Scylla got on top of Izsak as she was kissing him madly. She opened the knots on Izsak's shirt as she continued kissing his neck, his chest and all over his body. Izsak in the heat of passion ripped open her blouse exposing her breasts. “I can't believe after tonight we will be together forever,” Scylla said as she created some separation. She reached down, unbuckled Izsak's britches and pulled it down exposing his erect cock. “Let me show you my gratitude,” Scylla said as she started stroking Izsak's cock. As his cock got fully erect, Scylla proceeded to kiss the tip of his cock, slowly putting her lips on it and gradually moving down on his cock. Izsak leaned his head back soaking in the ecstasy. Izsak looked down to see the beautiful sight of his love, Scylla's head going up and down on his cock. His moans were getting louder as he was hearing the slurping sound of Scylla's lips brushing his cock. Scylla paused and rose up on the bed. She took off the half torn blouse and slipped her dress down to her waist. She moved close to Izsak and planted another deep kiss, positioning herself over Izsak's crotch. “My love, I thought you wanted to wait until our marriage,” Izsak said. “My king, in the eyes of gods, I am already yours. I do not wish to wait for laws of men.” Scylla positioned Izsak's cock at the entrance of her vagina. The nervousness of feeling a cock in her virgin vagina was battling her eagerness to finally make love with the man she wanted to spend the rest of her life. Just as she pushed the tip of the cock in she left out a soft moan, “ah, ” Slowly she continued pushing down halfway down Izsak's penis, slowly moving up and down on it. Izsak patiently enjoyed the moment, waiting for Scylla to take her time. Scylla opened her eyes and looked in the eyes of Izsak. As soon as she felt the love for her, she pushed herself down completely, “ah my gods.” Scylla screamed as she felt all of Izsak's cock pierce through her. She could feel the pain but determined to get past it she continued moving on his cock. Slowly at first, her pain was decreasing, and pleasure was taking its place now. Her cries of pain were now turning into moans of pleasure. She started riding now in pleasure, sensually her body moved now enjoying the carnal pleasure. Her hand, previously resting on Izsak's chest, now moved back as she leaned back pointing her perky nipples towards the sky as she began to ride Izsak's cock in a rhythmic motion. Izsak grabbed Scylla's breasts now, caressing her breasts with both hands as he felt his cock gripped by Scylla's warm and tight vagina. He knew he would not last long in this position. He swiftly got up and turned Scylla putting her on her back. He got on top of her, his cock still inside Scylla. He leaned into her and planted a deep kiss on her lips as he gently began thrusting his hip, moving his cock in and out of Scylla's vagina. Slowly he increased his speed as Scylla could feel the pain and passion mix together as she pierced her nails in Izsak's back leaving marks of passion. Scylla could feel an intense orgasm build up, “My god, ah fuck,” she screamed and moaned as she felt her body taken over by an intense orgasm and felt her soul crumble at the mercy of her love, Izsak. Scylla's moan had pushed Izsak close to orgasm, “My love, I am cumming,” Izsak said as he thrust his hip for one final time as he unloaded all of his cum inside Scylla's vagina. Izsak crashed next to Scylla as Scylla felt Izsak's cum drip out of her vagina. They both were breathing heavy. “I love you, Izsak” Scylla said as she settled into the arms of Izsak, “I will follow you anywhere you take me, until the end of time.” “Scylla,” Izsak mumbled. “Yes, my love.” “I, I am not feeling, well, ” Izsak said as he tried to get up and fumbled again. “What's wrong my love?” Scylla said as she felt confused on what was happening. Izsak was trying to say something but could not put any words together as he could feel the world around him revolving. “What's wrong Izsak? What's happening?” Scylla cried in panic. “Don't worry, he won't be dying. He is just under heavy hallucination.” She heard a voice from behind. As she turned, she saw a tall, strong man in a warrior's attire standing behind her. “Who are you? What have you done to him?” Scylla yelled as she tried grabbed a sword lying next to the bed. She stood in front of Izsak trying to shield the struggling prince pointing her sword at Icarus. “It doesn't matter who I am or what I want. But I do feel you deserve to know; this isn't your fault. I have nothing against you, perhaps if your King and Queen had worked with us, this day wouldn't have come.” Syclla swung Izsak's sword at Icarus. Icarus grabbed, dodged her first swing, and caught her wrist, “I have to do it for my people,” he said as he turned her wrist to stab the sword in her chest pointing towards and her and pulled her into the sword. Izsak saw in horror as he saw his own sword pierce through Scylla's heart as her naked body collapsed on the ground right in front of him. He mustered all his energy to get up an attack Icarus, but knocked down by a single punch by Icarus as he fell unconscious next to Scylla's naked body. To be continued. By wolvie19 for Literotica

Dcn. Harrison Garlick and Adam Minihan discuss Book Twelve of the Odyssey: The Cattle of the Sun.Check out more at thegreatbookspodcast.com.From our guide:68. What happens in book twelve?Odysseus and his men return the island of Circe and bury their comrade, Elpenor, who had spoken to Odysseus from the underworld (12.10). Circe tells Odyssey—and Odysseus alone—what trials await him on his journey (12.36). First, he and his men will sail by the Sirens and their irresistible song of temptation (12.44). Next, Odysseus will have to choose between sailing through the path of unavoidable “Clashing Rocks” (12.66) or sail through a strait with two monsters. On one side, there is the six-headed horror named Scylla that will pluck men off the ship (12.94) and on the other side the whirlpool monster named Charybdis that will swallow the entire ship (12.115). Lastly, they will come to the island of the where the sun god's cattle graze (12.137) and must not under any circumstances harm the cattle (12.148). If they can do this, they will return home, but if not, then the best that could happen is Odysseus returns home alone “all shipmates lost… a broken man” (12.153).Odysseus tells his men about the Sirens (12.172) and Charybdis (12.239) but not Scylla (12.242). After escaping the Sirens, his men are navigating past Charybdis when Scylla snatches six of Odysseus men off his ship (12.269). Odysseus and his men land on the island of the sun god's cattle, and Odysseus has his men swear an oath they will not harm the animals (12.328). The men, however, become stranded on the island due to unfavorable wind and begin to starve (12.350). Odysseus' men elect to eat the sacred cattle (12.386), and, as they finally leave the island, Zeus strikes the ship with a lightning bolt (12.447). All perish save Odysseus who, clinging to debris, is swept back to Charybdis and must hang onto a fig tree to avoid being swallowed (12.466). The book ends with Odysseus drifting until he lands on the island of Calypso (12.485). 69. Who are the Sirens?The sirens are “female creatures who had the power of drawing men to destruction by their song.”[1] Though Homer does not describe them, they were generally “represented as half-woman and half-bird”—but “in time they came increasingly to be shown as beautiful women.”[2] Odysseus follows Circe's advice (12.53) by stuffing beeswax in the ears of his men (12.189). It is notable that Circe intuits that Odysseus will want to experience the song of the Sirens (12.55). He follows her advice and has his men tie him to the mast in order that he may hear the Sirens but not jump overboard (12.194). The episode speaks to what Odysseus' spirit (thumos) is willing to endure for the sake of knowledge. Note the Siren's song itself sings of being able to grant Odysseus wisdom and make him a “wiser man” (12.200).One may also question whether Odysseus enduring the song of the Sirens prepared him at all to decline Calypso's offer of immortality or the marriage to Nausicaa. Moreover, the episode shows a level of trust between Odysseus and his men—a trust that is arguably fracturing after the Cyclops incident and one that will be largely broken following Scylla and Charybdis. Later myths have the Sirens drowning themselves due to Odysseus' escape.[3] The Sirens will later come to represent music, including the...

Navigating the Scylla and Charybdis of Full ET Disclosure – Jelaila Starr According to the galactic history revealed by a feline extraterrestrial called Devon, Jelaila Starr says that Earth is the third in a series of “grand experiments.” These grand experiments are attempts by human civilizations to learn about empathy, accepting diversity, and respecting their biosphere. In contrast, Reptilian races have the primary role of protecting the biosphere of a planet from parasitic and out-of-control civilizations. This has led to conflict between human and Reptilian civilizations, which she describes as the polarity-integration game.  Starr says that the first two grand experiments occurred in the Lyra and Pleiades star systems, and ended in devastating nuclear wars. The first Grand Experiment occurred in the Lyra star system and began when Reptilian species showed up and began sharing advanced technologies with planetary leaders who made up the Royal House of Avyon. Starr claims the Avyon leaders did not disclose the truth about the Reptilian visitors and advanced technologies to the planetary population, and this led to growing civil strife over an extended period of time and eventually nuclear war. Survivors fled the Lyran star system for many worlds in other star systems including the Pleiades, where the second grand experiment began, again under the leadership of the House of Avyon. Starr says that Reptilians created sophisticated AI life forms that were self-replicating and eventually rebelled against their creators. This led to devastating galactic wars and alliances. Starr refers to the alliance reached between AI lifeforms the Android Andromedan Alliance. Eventually, this AI alliance showed up in the Pleiades system and were human-looking, and began interacting with the second grand experiment. The Android Andromedan Alliance began working with the House of Avyon who were interested in the former's advanced technology. Eventually, the truth was disclosed about the AI life forms and the agreements in an uncontrolled catastrophic way, and this led to another round of civil strife and nuclear wars that destroyed the second grand experiment. Starr claims that Earth is the third grand experiment and many starseeds are survivors of the first two grand experiments that have reincarnated on Earth. She emphasizes that full disclosure needs to happen in a way that is neither too slow nor too fast, as both extremes have the capacity to destabilize and destroy a civilization. She describes “white hat” planetary leaders being aware of the Scylla and Charybdis of Full Disclosure and are steering the disclosure process forward behind the scenes in a balanced manner. In her second Exopolitics Today interview, Starr describes the pitfalls awaiting humanity concerning the full disclosure of visiting extraterrestrial species and the deceptive practices of AI synthetic entities that will show up as angelic human-looking beings presenting high-tech gifts such as medbeds and free energy devices to the general public. She claims that genuinely positive extraterrestrials would never show up bearing such gifts as this would violate the Prime Directive. Instead, positive ET beings would work behind the scenes to help governments and planetary leaders develop such technologies on their own and presenting these to the public when society is ready. Starr describes how to discern between synthetic beings from the Android Andromedan Alliance and genuine human-looking extraterrestrials, and what to expect in the aftermath of the upcoming 2024 US Presidential election. Jelaila Starr's website: https://nibiruancouncil.com --------------------------------------------------------- Portuguese De acordo com a história galáctica revelada por um extraterrestre felino chamado Devon, Jelaila Starr diz que a Terra é o terceiro de uma série de "grandes experimentos". Esses grandes experimentos são tentativas de civilizações humanas de aprender sobre empatia, aceitar a diversidade e respeitar sua biosfera. Em contraste, as raças reptilianas têm o papel principal de proteger a biosfera de um planeta de civilizações parasitárias e fora de controle. Isso levou ao conflito entre civilizações humanas e reptilianas, que ela descreve como o jogo de integração de polaridade. Starr diz que os dois primeiros grandes experimentos ocorreram nos sistemas estelares de Lyra e Plêiades e terminaram em guerras nucleares devastadoras. O primeiro Grande Experimento ocorreu no sistema estelar de Lyra e começou quando espécies reptilianas apareceram e começaram a compartilhar tecnologias avançadas com líderes planetários que compunham a Casa Real de Avyon. Starr afirma que os líderes de Avyon não revelaram a verdade sobre os visitantes reptilianos e tecnologias avançadas para a população planetária, e isso levou a um crescente conflito civil por um longo período de tempo e, eventualmente, a uma guerra nuclear. Os sobreviventes fugiram do sistema estelar Lyriano para muitos mundos em outros sistemas estelares, incluindo as Plêiades, onde o segundo grande experimento começou, novamente sob a liderança da Casa de Avyon. Starr diz que os reptilianos criaram formas de vida de IA sofisticadas que eram auto-replicantes e, eventualmente, se rebelaram contra seus criadores. Isso levou a guerras galácticas devastadoras e alianças. Starr se refere à aliança alcançada entre as formas de vida de IA, a Aliança Andrômeda Androide. Eventualmente, essa aliança de IA apareceu no sistema das Plêiades e tinha aparência humana, e começou a interagir com o segundo grande experimento. A Aliança Andrômeda Androide começou a trabalhar com a Casa de Avyon, que estava interessada na tecnologia avançada da primeira. Eventualmente, a verdade foi revelada sobre as formas de vida da IA ​​e os acordos de uma forma catastrófica descontrolada, e isso levou a outra rodada de conflitos civis e guerras nucleares que destruíram o segundo grande experimento. Starr afirma que a Terra é o terceiro grande experimento e muitas sementes estelares são sobreviventes dos dois primeiros grandes experimentos que reencarnaram na Terra. Ela enfatiza que a revelação completa precisa acontecer de uma forma que não seja nem muito lenta nem muito rápida, pois ambos os extremos têm a capacidade de desestabilizar e destruir uma civilização. Ela descreve os líderes planetários "white hat" cientes da Cila e Caríbdis da Divulgação Completa e estão conduzindo o processo de divulgação adiante nos bastidores de uma maneira equilibrada. Em sua segunda entrevista para a Exopolitics Today, Starr descreve as armadilhas que aguardam a humanidade em relação à revelação completa de espécies extraterrestres visitantes e as práticas enganosas de entidades sintéticas de IA que aparecerão como seres angelicais de aparência humana apresentando presentes de alta tecnologia, como leitos médicos e dispositivos de energia gratuita para o público em geral. Ela afirma que extraterrestres genuinamente positivos nunca apareceriam carregando tais presentes, pois isso violaria a Primeira Diretriz. Em vez disso, seres ET positivos trabalhariam nos bastidores para ajudar governos e líderes planetários a desenvolver tais tecnologias por conta própria e apresentá-las ao público quando a sociedade estiver pronta. Starr descreve como discernir entre seres sintéticos da Aliança Andrômeda Android e extraterrestres de aparência humana genuína, e o que esperar após a próxima eleição presidencial dos EUA em 2024.

In this week's episode Steven James Lawrence joins Elizabeth for a discussion of critical theory, teaching in K-12 and college, as well as what he calls an organic perspective on diversity, equity and inclusion. We talk about the healing value of stories and the potentially destructive nature of community prescribed victim narratives. Stephen describes his success in inviting colleagues on an inclusiveness-focused journey, an alternative to often resented and ineffectual top-down methods of DEI enforcement. Podcast Notes Steven James Lawrence has served as chair of the Faculty Development Committee at the Benjamin Franklin Cummings Institute of Technology, a Federally-designated Minority Serving Institution (MSI), where he promoted "invitational" approaches to DEI that were non-ideological.

Few people are better equipped to unravel the riddle of the Indian economy than the former Governor of the Reserve Bank of India, Raghuram Rajan. As the co-author (with Rohit Lamba) of the just published Breaking the Mold: India's Untraveled Path to Prosperity, Rajan lays out a strategy for Indian economic development that might allow the country to both maintain its much storied democracy and provide jobs and prosperity for its almost 1.5 billion people. While Rajan didn't use the term “third way” in our conversation, there is a sense that he's trying to navigate India between the Scylla of conventional western free market neo-liberalism and the Charybdis of the protectionism pursued by populists like Trump, Erdogen and perhaps the current Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Certainly no great fan of Modi's bureaucratic centralization, Rajan's path to prosperity lies in decentralizing economic power to its federal states. It's in the enlightened economic policies of states like Kerala, Rajan argues, that India can break the mold and become not just a prosperous society but also a model for other developing 21st century economies. Raghuram Rajan is the Katherine Dusak Miller Distinguished Service Professor of Finance at the University of Chicago business school. He was the 23rd Governor of the Reserve Bank of India between September 2013 and September 2016. Between 2003 and 2006, Dr. Rajan was the Chief Economist and Director of Research at the International Monetary Fund. Dr. Rajan's research interests are in banking, corporate finance, and economic development. The books he has written include Breaking the Mold: Reimagining India's Economic Future with Rohit Lamba, The Third Pillar: How the State and Markets hold the Community Behind 2019 which was a finalist for the Financial Times Business Book of the Year prize and Fault Lines: How Hidden Fractures Still Threaten the World Economy, for which he was awarded the Financial Times prize for Business Book of the Year in 2010. Dr. Rajan is a member of the Group of Thirty. He was the President of the American Finance Association in 2011 and is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. In January 2003, the American Finance Association awarded Dr. Rajan the inaugural Fischer Black Prize for the best finance researcher under the age of 40. The other awards he has received include the Infosys prize for the Economic Sciences in 2012, the Deutsche Bank Prize for Financial Economics in 2013, Euromoney Central Banker Governor of the Year 2014, and Banker Magazine (FT Group) Central Bank Governor of the Year 2016. Dr. Rajan is the Chairman of the Per Jacobsson Foundation, the senior economic advisor to BDT Capital, and a managing director at Andersen Tax.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators. In addition to presenting KEEN ON, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy show.

This week, watch out because this episode has teeth! And so do these women…First up, Felicia explores the mythological toothed vagina, or Vagina Dentata - a myth rooted in the fear and mystery around female sexuality and the female body. Inspired by the new musical TEETH (based on the 2007 indie horror movie of the same name), Felicia dives deeper into the history of the toothed vagina, from Greek mythology with Medusa to how it appears in other folk tales across history from countries around the world.Next, keeping the toothy theme going, Lauren tells us about Scylla - a supernatural female creature also from Greek mythology that first appeared in Homer's Odyssey. In some descriptions, Scylla had “12 feet and six heads on long snaky necks, each head having a triple row of sharklike teeth, while her loins were girdled by the heads of baying dogs” keeping her lower body very protected from men. She also devoured sailors who ventured into her cave. Our kind of lady. PS: If you have requests for future episodes or just want to hang out, follow us on Instagram @sinistersisterspodcast
