Sam finally begins the final part of the the Hyperion Cantos with the 1997 book The Rise of Endymion by Dan Simmons. It's finally here! The last book in the absolutely bonkers Hyperion series, and in desperate need of help our intrepid hosts have called in Filip from the Mind Duck Books podcast for much needed moral support. We kick off with Danielle doing a frankly astonishingly good summary of the previous book to catch everyone up. Still, Filip does have a few questions that Sam has no answers for, of course. The book begins with the pope dying and being, inevitably, resurrected in some possibly retconned way where Paul Duré resurrects first but is then murdered by Cardinal Lourdusamy. Regardless, Hoyt is reelected pope and declares a crusade on the Ousters! This greatly upsets the newly reinstated Father Captain de Soya, but he takes command of one of the new Arch Angel warships anyway. Meanwhile, Aenea and Raul are on Earth, it's been three years, and Aenea's mentor, architect Frank Lloyd Wright, has just died. Aenea declares the architect camp experiment on the Earth over, and tells the other apprentices that they must return to the Pax and risk death because... Well, she never really says why, but it sure seems important. Then she gives Raul an abbreviated biography of the real Frank Lloyd Wright for yet more inscrutable reasons. After that, she tells Raul he needs to go alone back down the Tethys river in a kayak to find the ship they crashed, and then meet her and A. Bettik later. Raul is unhappy about this, but sets off down the Mississippi anyway to begin his journey. Back in the Pax, not only is the Pax fleet anticipating the return of Aenea, so is the TechnoCore, which has dispatched four what are essentially terminators, including Rhadamanth Nemes, to kill her. The Pax Mercantilus is also looking to nab Aenea so they can engage in some political machinations and replace the Vatican as the ally of the TechnoCore. Does this book need yet more plots now involving complex political schemes? No, but it sure is fun! In conclusion, Sam is super angry we don't spend more time with the Ousters. Special thanks to friend of the pod and honorary co-host Filip from Mind Duck Books for joining us on this thrilling journey!

We're back in record time with part three of the 1996 Dan Simmons novel Hyperion. Danielle makes a much better showing this time, recapping the previous episode with aplomb. After letting Aenea escape after emerging from the Time Tombs, Father Captain de Soya is regrouping in the Parvati system with his Swiss Guard commandos to capture Aenea when she arrives. During the journey, Aenea and Raul spend some quality, and slightly creepy, time together. Skinny dipping is involved. Anyway, Aenea essentially improvises a plan where she threatens to kill everyone on her ship if de Soya doesn't let her escape. Not willing to risk it, de Soya agrees, but then just tracks them to their next destination in Renaissance Vector, a heavily fortified Pax world, so it doesn't seem like much was accomplished by this whole gambit. While waiting again for their arrival, de Soya starts having dreams about Aenea as his daughter, and this is where Danielle starts feeling completely over this whole story. Really, it only gets more infuriating from there, as the method in which the ragtag crew lead by a child escape yet again is absolute nonsense. It may be short, but this episode is especially dense with nonsense, raising perhaps the biggest question of the series so far: How the heck is the river Tethys still flowing?

featured Wiki of the Day

fWotD Episode 2384: 90377 Sedna.Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of the featured Wikipedia article every day.The featured article for Tuesday, 14 November 2023 is 90377 Sedna.Sedna (minor-planet designation 90377 Sedna) is a dwarf planet in the outermost reaches of the Solar System discovered in 2003. Spectroscopy has revealed that Sedna's surface composition is largely a mixture of water, methane, and nitrogen ices with tholins, similar to those of some other trans-Neptunian objects. Its surface is one of the reddest among Solar System objects. Sedna, within estimated uncertainties, is tied with Ceres as the largest planetoid not known to have a moon. It has a diameter of approximately 1,000 km (most likely between the sizes of the dwarf planet Ceres and Saturn's moon Tethys), with an unknown mass.Sedna's orbit is one of the largest in the Solar System, with its aphelion (farthest distance from the Sun) being approximately 937 astronomical units (AU). This is 31 times Neptune's distance from the Sun, and well beyond the closest portion of the heliopause, which defines the outer boundary of interplanetary space. As of 2023, Sedna is near perihelion, its closest approach to the Sun, at a distance of 84 AU (13 billion km), almost three times farther than Neptune. The dwarf planets Eris and Gonggong are presently further from the Sun than Sedna. An exploratory fly-by mission to Sedna at perihelion could be completed in 24.5 years using a Jupiter gravity assist.Sedna has an exceptionally elongated orbit, and takes approximately 11,400 years to return to its closest approach to the Sun at a distant 76 AU. The IAU initially considered Sedna a member of the scattered disc, a group of objects sent into highly elongated orbits by the gravitational influence of Neptune. However, several astronomers contested this classification, because its perihelion is too large for it to have been scattered by any of the known planets. This has led some astronomers to informally refer to it as the first known member of the inner Oort cloud. It is the prototype of a new orbital class of object, the sednoids, which include 2012 VP113 and Leleākūhonua.Astronomer Michael E. Brown, co-discoverer of Sedna, believes that understanding Sedna's unusual orbit could yield information about the origin and early evolution of the Solar System.It might have been perturbed into its orbit by one or more stars within the Sun's birth cluster, or possibly it was captured from the planetary system of another star. The clustering of the orbits of Sedna and similar objects is speculated to be evidence for a planet beyond the orbit of Neptune.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:42 UTC on Tuesday, 14 November 2023.For the full current version of the article, see 90377 Sedna on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Justin Standard.

Marty and Holly discuss Robert J. Sawyer's Nebula Award-winning book The Terminal Experiment.  We talk about the possibility of uploading our minds into computers and/or replicating our physical brains, and think our way through philosophical issues about subjectivity and objectivity, materialism, identity and the teleporter dilemma.  We discuss whether self-awareness is different and special, or just another subjective illusion built into us by evolutionary mechanisms of survival.  We decide that there's something special about the human experience, and also that we - personally - are land animals who would not get in a tin can to cross the void – though a ride down the river Tethys through the farcaster portals of Hyperion would be just fine.Science Fiction Writer Robert J.

L'Istituto di ricerca Tethys studia da anni i mammiferi marini che si trovano nel "Santuario dei cetacei" fra Liguria e Corsica. Da poco ha messo in campo un nuovo strumento di monitoraggio e identificazione degli animali: un grande drone pilotato dalla Guardia Costiera. Ne parliamo con Sabina Airoldi, responsabile delle ricerche Tethys e Daniele Giannelli, Comandante Guardia costiera. Paolo Valentino, giornalista del Corriere della Sera, ha scritto un ampio articolo su una famosa vicenda: la battaglia di Waterloo, che si svolse il 18 giugno del 1815 e che si concluse con oltre 20 mila morti sommando francesi e inglesi. Ma che fine fecero le due mila tonnellate di ossa dei caduti in battaglia? Le usarono per raffinare lo zucchero di canna... Così ci racconta Paolo Valentino.

مقدمة:بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والحمد لله رب العالمين والصلاة والسلام على أشرف الأنبياء والمرسلين سيدنا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين. سبحانك اللهم لا علم لنا إلا ما علمتنا أنك انت العليم الحكيم.أي شخص مطلع على الأدب او يلعب ألعاب فيديو أو يقرأ قصص مصورة أو يشاهد أفلام انمي يعلم مدى أثر الأساطير اليونانية على المخرجات الترفيهية. بل أن الأساطير، بالإضافة للأدب اليوناني، أثرت حتى على العلوم الإنسانية مثل الآتي:• علم النفس: مصطلح اضطراب الشخصية النرجسية نسبة لنرجس الأسطورة (Narcissus) • علم النفس والمسرح: عقدة أوديب (Oedipus Complex) التي ذكرها فرويد في كتابه تفسير الأحلام والمبنية على المسرحية اليونانية (أوديب ملكا) للمؤلف المسرحي سوفوكليس (Sophocles) والمذكورين في كتاب الأوديسة لهومر.• علم الجغرافيا: موسوعات الخرائط نسبة لأطلس حامل الأرض (Atlas).• في الطب: المخدر المورفين نسبة لمورفيوس إله تكوين الأحلام. (Morpheus).• قي الرياضة: الألعاب الأولمبية وشعلة النار بروميثيوس (Prometheus)• في تقنية المعلومات: حصان طروادة يطلق على الفيروس المتسلسل والمأخوذ من ملحمة هوميروس الإلياذة (Trojan Horse)• في أنظمة الدفاع "كعب أخيل" (Achilles Heel): والمقصود بها نقطة الضعف في أي نظام دفاعي والمأخوذة من موت أخيل في ملحمة طروادة عن طريق رميه بسهم مسموم في كعبه.• في الفن: "تأثير بيجماليون"، نسبة إلى بجيماليون النحات الكاره للنساء، ونحت تمثال لامرأة من العاج ووقع في حبها. وتعني لمن يقع في حب الشيء الذي يبتكره وبالتالي يصبح استثنائياًوغيرها الكثير من الأمثلة واليوم سوف تكون حلقتنا عن الوجود وقصص ميلاد الآلهة اليونانية وانوه ان لأصدقائنا الذين يستمعون إلينا عبر سحابة أدب بأن مدة الحلقة 45 دقيقة ولذا تجدون التكملة في الجزء التالي من هذه الحلقة.وأود ان أوضح التالي:• أن حلقات هاوس زوفي من الناحية العلمية ليست أكاديمية وهي أقرب للدردشة العلمية والتي ربما نخطئ في معلومة او نكون غير دقيقين في بعضها ورغم ذلك سنبذل جهدنا بإيصال المعلومة الصحيحة مع ذكر مرجعها.• اعتمدت على رسم شجرة الأنساب اليونانية عن طريق المايكروسوفت ورد نظام الهيكل الإداري وهو ليس برنامج فعال لرسم الشجر بصفة عامة وبصفة خاصة لشجرة النسب اليوناني الآلهي وستعرفون مدى تعقد الأنساب اليونانية في هذه الحلقة. لذا جعلت الذكر باللون الأزرق والأنثى باللون الأخضر افتراضا مني انهم ذكور واناث.في البداية لابد ان نأخذ نبذة مختصرة جدا عن:• أهم الكتب التراثية وبعض المراجع الحديثة.• أنساب الشعب اليوناني وارتباطها بنسب الآلهة.• طبيعة وجغرافية أرض اليونان.أهم الكتب اليونانيةبالنسبة لأهم الكتب لقصص وأساطير الشعب اليوناني:• كتب الأساطير والملاحم:o ميلاد او نسب الآلهة (Theogony) لهيسيود (Hesiod) وهو كتاب صغير لكن عظيم يذكر فيه تزاوج الآلهة والطيتان والكيانات الأولية والوحوش.o الأشغال والأيام (Work and Days) كذلك لهيسيود (Hesiod) كتبه لأخيه بيرسيس (Perses) الذي اغتصب ارضه بالتعاون مع أحد القضاء ويخبره لابد من التعب للحصول على الأرض وهذا كله بسبب الآلهة والمشاكل التي فيما بينها وهو كتاب مهم يوضح فيه قصص واجيال البشر عند الإغريق وكذلك يحكي فيه قصة باندورا وكيف المرأة بلاء على الرجال من زيوس.o كتاب المرأة (Catalogue of woman) او إييا (Ehoiai) لهيسيود (Hesiod) كتاب مفقود لم توجد منه إلا شذرات قليلة رغم ذلك به معلومات مهمة عن نسب اليونانيين وغير انساب اليونانيين.o ملحمة الإلياذة (Iliad) لهوميروس (Homer): قصة حرب الطرواديين (The Trojans) مع الآخيين (Achaean) والتي استمرت 10 سنوات، واختطاف باريس (Paris) الطروادي لهيلين (Helen Troy) زوجة ملك أسبرطة (Sparta) ميلنيوس (Menelaus). وقصص الأبطال: آخيل (Achilles)، باتروكلُس (Patroclus)، هيكتور (Hector)، أوديسيوس (Odysseus) وحصان طروادة الشهير. o ملحمة الأوديسة (Odyssey) لهوميروس (Homer): الملحمة الثانية لهوميروس والتي تأتي أحداثها بعد حرب طروادة (Trojan War) مباشرة. وبطلها أوديسيوس (Odysseus) ملك إيثكا (Ithaca) الذي تاه في البلاد والبحار 10 سنوات بسبب لعنة بسيادون (Poseidon) إله البحر وقصة زوجته بينولبي (Penelope) مع الذين أرادوا الزواج منها للاستيلاء على مُلك أوديسيوس.o ملحمة الأرجونوتيكا ((Argonautica لأبولونيوس الرودسي (Apollonius of Rhodes) التي تحكي قصة جيسون (Jason) مع بحارة الأرجون (The Argo) والصوف الذهبي (Golden Fleece)o أشغال هرقل (The Labors of Heracles): قصة أعمال هرقل الاثنا عشر كلف بها للتكفير عن خطاياه بسبب لعنة هيرا (Hera) زوجة زوس (Zeus) وكل مهمة أصعب من الأخرى وفي كل مرة كان يقتل وحش أسطوري مثل الأسد النيمي (the Nemean lion) والهيدرا (Lernaean Hydra) وأشهر كتاب القصة هو بيسندار (Peisander) وهو اول من ذكر ان هرقل بعد ان قتل الأسد النيمي سلخه وارتدى جلده. وقد عملنا حلقة في بودكاست كارتونيشن عن أعمال هرقل مقارنة بفيلم ديزني (Hercules). • بعض المراجع لمن أراد الاستزادة:o كتاب المكتبة اليونانية Bibliotheca او مكتبة أبولودورس الزائف (Pseudo-Apollodorus) وهذا كتاب مهم جدا فهو يسرد التاريخ اليوناني الأسطوري بطريقة سلسلة جدا وهو أسهل الكتب رغم كتابته بعد القرن الأول للميلاد.o الأدب اليوناني - من سلسلة زدني علما o الميتولوجيا اليونانية -من سلسلة زدني علماo تاريخ الأدب اليوناني – الدكتور علاء صابر -مكتبة لبنان ناشرونo كتاب التحولات أو مسخ الكائنات (The Metamorphoses) لأوفيد (Ovid) وهو شاعر روماني كتبه في القرن الثامن فقد جمع القصص اليونانية والرومانية الشفهية وتوجد ترجمتين:o مسخ الكائنات - نسخة دار المعارف - محمد عكاشةo التحولات – ترجمة أدونيس.o وانا انصح بكتاب باللغة الإنجليزي وهو دليل جيد يجمع لك القصص ومصادرها واهمها واسمه:o A brief guide to the Greek myths by Stephen p. Kershawنسب الشعب اليوناني الأسطورينسب الشعب اليوناني:الشعب اليوناني مصنف اصطلاحياً من الشعب الهندو-أوربي الشعوب التي هاجرت من منقطة بين اسيا وأوربا ولكن يهمنا هنا الفكرة الأسطورية وليس الفكرة الأنثروبولوجيه. فهم يعتقدون ان نسبهم امتداد ومتصل بالآلهة الأولمبية والطيتان فالقصة تحكي ان هناك شخص اسمه دوكيليان (Deucalion) وزوجته بيرا (Pyrra) وهو يمثل نوح في الأخبار التوحيدية فله قصة مشابهة لقصة نوح عليه السلام والطوفان سنذكرها في حينه.• دوكيليان قيل انه بن بروميثيوس خالق البشر ومختلف في امه قيل انها هيسيوني (Hesione) وفقاً لهيسيود.• بيرا هي ابنة ابيمثيوس (Epimetheus)، اخ بروميثيوس، وامها باندورا (Pandora) صاحبة قصة الصندوق وكذلك سنذكرها في حينه.• دوكيليان وبيرا لديهم ثلاثة أبناء يمثلون السلالة والقبائل اليونانية:o هيلين وثيا وباندورا الثانية• هيلين هذا ما يطلقون به اليونانيين أنفسهم حتى اليوم لذا تجد ان اليونان اسمها الجمهورية الهيلينية وتجد في جوازهم الجنسية هيليني. o هيلين لديه ثلاثة أبناء من حورية ماء الـ(nymph)أورسيس (Orseis): أيوليس (Aeolus) اب (الأيوليين)  دوروس (Dorus) اب الدوريين) زاذس (Xuthus) وهذا زاذس لديه ابنين:• أخايس (Achaeus) اب الآخيون.• واخيراً أيونيس (Iones) أب الأيونين وقيل ان العرب اسمتهم اليونانيين بناءاً عليه.• ثيا قيل انها حبلت بواسطة زيوس (Zeus) وانجبت:o ماجنس (magnes)o ومقدون (Macedon) سلالة الإسكندر الأكبر (Alexander the Great) والفيلسوف ارسطو (Aristotle) ولهذا السبب قيل انه لم يرث اكاديمية افلاطون (Plato) لأنه ليس أثينيي (هيليني)• باندورا الثانية حبلت أيضا بواسطة زيوس وأنجب جرايكوس (Gragecus) وأبناء هذا جرايكوس كانوا من اول المهاجرين لبلاد روما (إيطاليا) وبسبب ذلك سمي الشعب اليوناني بالإغريق.o جرايكوس (Gragecus) لديه حسب هيسيود (Hesiod) بن اسمه لاتينوس (Latinus) هل هو أب اللاتينيين؟ هل هو لاتينوس المذكور في الإنيادة (Aeneid) للشاعر الروماني فيرجل (Virgil)؟ هل فيرجل (Virgil) هو المذكور في الكوميديا الإلهية (Divine Comedy) للشاعر الإيطالي دانتي (Dante)؟ دانتي وفيرجل من ديفل ماي كراي (Devil may cry)؟ الله أعلم.o إضافة أخيرة للأنساب: وفقاً لهيسيود في كتاب المرأة هناك شخص اسمه عربوس (Arabus) او عريبيوس (Arabius) هو بن هرميس (Hermes) وثرونيا (Thronia).وهذا نبذة جدا مبسطة لسلالة الشعب اليوناني ودائما ما تجد عند التعمق في السلالات اليونانية حتى بعد الامتداد نجد ان نسباً لأحدى الآلهات او الطيتان بطريقة او بأخرى.الطبيعة الجغرافية والسياسية لليونانالطبيعة الجغرافية: اليونان شبه جزيرة طبيعتها وعرة وكثيرة الجبال وحولها جزر صغيرة كثيرة داخلها جبال ومرتفعات كذلك.  ولهذا كان الاتصال بين المدن شبه صعب بسبب وعارة الطرق وقيل هذا أحد أسباب عدم توحدهم كدولة وحدة الا في عهد الإسكندر.ولكن الملاحة البحرية بين الجزر في بحر ايجة شبه عوضت التواصل ولهذا التجارة الملاحية في كانت مثمرة بينهم وكأن البحر عوض ووحد ما فرقته الجبال والأرض. وقد سكنوا اليونانيين في أجزاء من مصر بالإسكندرية، وكذلك على الساحل الغربي في تركيا وقيل ان هناك حصلت معركة الإلياذة الشهيرة في مدينة طروادة.الطبيعة السياسية:ذكرنا ان صعوبة التواصل بين اليونانيين بسبب الظروف الجغرافية للمنطقة كانت أحد أسباب عدم توحدهم في دولة وحدة لذا كانت المدن والجزر اليونانية عبارة عن دول مستقلة صغيرة (City State) بعضها جزر ومدن ممالك، بعضها جزر ومدن جمهورية، بعضها جزر ومدن عشائر وقبائل.وهكذا نكون انتهينا من مقدمة الحلقة ونبدأ بقصص ميلاد الآلهة.ميلاد الآلهةمصدر القصص والأنسلب لهذا البودكاست:o بالنسبة لميلاد الآلهة سأذكر التي بها قصص واظن انه مهم، معتمداً على كتاب هيسيود ميلاد الآلهة.o الشعب اليوناني كان يتداول هذا القصص بشكل شفهي والكتب التي ذكرناها كتبت لاحقا في أعمال شعرية واعمال ملحمية وأعمال مسرحية.كيف يبدأ هيسيود ميلاد الآلهة: يذكر هيسيود بأنها إلهام من الميوسيس (The Muses)، ربات الفنون التسعة والتي ظهرن في فيلم ديزني هرقل، وأنهن يرقصن وينشدن في جبل هيليكون (Helicon Mount) وقد اهدياه غصن زيتون وسيلة تواصل بينه وبين ربات الفنون ومن خلال ألهم بقصيدة الثيوجني (Theogony).o ذكر هيسيود ان ربات الفنون التسعة، إذا فضلن ملك من الملوك، فبمجرد ميلاده يصببن من ريقهن في فمه فيصبح عذب الكلام.o وهن بنات زيوس من امهم نيموزين، في انمي بهذا الاسم، آلهة الذاكرة وهي أحد بنات اورانوس وجايا.o زيوس تشكل في شكل بشري وواقع نيموزين (Mnemosyne) تسعة ليالي وفي كل يوم كانت تنجب أنثى وهن: كليو ربة التاريخ (Cleo) اوتربي ربة الموسيقى (Euterpe) تالي ربة الكوميديا (Thalia) ملبومين للمأساة او التراجيديا (Melpomene) ترببسيكور للرقص (Terpsichore)  اراتوا للشعر الغنائي او به وصف حسي (Erato) بوليمني للمسرح (Polyhymnia) اوراني للفلك (Urania) كاليوب للشعر الملحمي (Calliope).وقد ذكرت مقدمة هيسيود عن ربات الفنون لأن القارئ للأدب او الملاحم اليونانية دائما ما سيجد أن المؤلف يبدأ بالابتهال لهؤلاء التسعة.قصص الوجود:نجد في قصص الميلاد أو أنساب الآلهة أن الوجود وجد قبل ميلاد الآلهة. والآلهة بعد ذلك أتت لكي تنظم الوجود. وانتهز هذه الفرصة في ذكر أنواع الكائنات عند اليونان:• الكيانات الأولية (Primordial):الكيانات التي ظهرت مع بداية الوجود وتمثل الطبيعة وظواهرها، وظهر منهم أول من حكم العالم.• الجبابرة (Titans):الجبابرة: الجيل الثاني والذي أزاح الكيانات من الحكم وأخذ مكانهم.• الأولمبيين (The Olympians):الجيل الثالث والذي خاض حرب ضد الجبابرة (Titanomachy) وحكم العالم. وأطلق عليهم الأولمبيين لاتخاذهم جبل أوليمبس سكن لهم.• المخلوقات الأسطورية (Mythical Creatures): الوحوش (Monsters)، الحوريات (Nymphs)، القنطور (Centaur)، وغيرهم من ابناء الجبابرة وملعوني الأولمبيين.• أنصاف الآلهة (Demi-God):كائنات نصفها آلهة ونصفها بشر وهؤلاء كثير منهم أبطال وكثير منهم أبناء زوس مثل: بيرسيوس (Perseus)، هيراكليس (Heracles)، آخيل (Achilles) وهؤلاء لديهم الفرصة للترقي ويصبحون آلهة مثل داينوسيس (Dionysus).• البشر:هؤلاء الذين عاصروا وعبدوا الآلهة منذ جيلهم الذهبي (Golden Age) وحتى الجيل الحديدي (Iron Age) وسنذكر قصصهم بالتفصيل ان شاء الله.الكائنات الأولية:• أول الكيانات وجوداً هو كايوس (Chaos) ويمثل الخواء وقد ظهر في لعبة هيديس (Hades Video Game). • ثم ظهرت جايا (Gaia) وهي تمثل الأرض، وظهر تارتورس (Tartarus) ويمثل قاع قاع الأرض وظهر كذلك ايروس (Eros) وهو يمثل الرغبة.o قيل ان هؤلاء الثلاث هم أبناء كايوس وقيل انهم ظهروا مع كايوس.• كايوس لديه أبناء آخرين:o نيكس (Nyx) وتمثل الليل. وظهرت في لعبة هيديسo ايريبس (Erebus) يمثل الظلام.• نيكس واخاها ايريبس قرروا انهم ينجبوا كيانات أخرى وسنرى ان إنجاب الأخ من أخته طبيعي جداً عند الآلهة اليونانية:• هيمرا (Hemera) وهو يمثل النهار.• ايثر (Aether) وهو غطاء السماء التي تتنفسه الكيانات لذا في الألعاب الروائية (Table-top RPG) والعاب الفيديو (RPG Games) نجد ان الذي ينعش نقاط السحر المستخدمة او المفقودة مشروب الإيثر (Ether).وطبيعي جدا ان الكيانات ممكن تقرر الإنجاب بدون أي تواصل جنسي ومن ذاتها بالفيض مثل أبناء نيكس (Nyx):• ثانتوس (Thanatos) وهو مثل ملك الموت وهو ظهر في لعبة هيديس• موروس (Moros) وهو يمثل الهلاك (Doom).• هيبنوس (Hypnos) وهو يمثل النوم وقد ظهر في لعبة هيديس أيضاً.• أونيروس (Oneiros) وهو يمثل الأحلام.• مومس (Momus) ويمثل اللوم السخرية او إله الساتير (Satir) كائن اسطوري.• اوزيس (Oziys) ويمثل الويل.• وعندها كذلك الكيريس (The Keres) هن كائنات بأجنحة يمثلن المصير الموت المفجع ولهن دور مثل الفالكيريس لكن هن لا يأخذن الموتى من المقاتلين للجنة إنما لقاع الجحيم. • والثلاثي الميوري (Moirai) سيدات القدر:o كلوثو التي تغزل وتلف الخيطo ليتشيس التي تمد خيطo أتروبوس التي تقطع الخيط• وكذلك عندها الهيسبريديس (Hesperides) حوريات الغسق (Evening Nymphs)، حارسات التفاح الذهبي وقيل انهن سبع.• نيميسيس (Nemesis) ويمثل القصاص ولهذا يسمى العدو الأكبر للأبطال بالنميسيس • أباتي (Apate) تمثل التضليل (Deception)• جيراس (Geras) ويمثل الشيوخة.• فيلوتيس (Philotes) ويمثل المحبة او الصداقة.• ديسكورد (Discord) نعم ديسكورد أو ايريس (Eris) وتمثل الخلاف.ما ذكرت هذا نموذج لميلاد او تزاوج الآلهة وكتاب هيسيود يذكر عشرات الآلهة المولودة بالتزاوج، محارم او بغير محارم، أو بالفيض. ومن هؤلاء الآلهة كريتوس (Kreatos) ويمثل القوة أو القدرة هو بن الجبار بالاس (Pallas) ونهر الجحيم (Styx) واكتفي بهذا القدر من نموذج ميلاد الآلهة وندخل على أول الملاحم.أولى الدماء بين الآلهةجايا (Gaia) واقعت ابنها أورانوس (Uranus) وأنجبوا الذين يطلق عليهم:• الجبابرة أو التيتان او إذا نقحرت الطيتان (The Titans) وهم اثنا عشر: 1. اوكيانوس (Okeanos) وهذا شيخ كبير واب لكثيرين.2. كويوس ((Coeus.3. كريوس (Crius).4. هايبريون (Hyperion).5. ايابتوس (Iapetus).6. ثيا (Theia).7. ريا (Rhea).8. ثيميس (Themis).9. نيموزين (Mnemosyne) أم ربات الفنون.10. فيبي (Phoebe) وليست فيبي من (Friends).11. تيثس (Tethys).12. كرونوس (Cronus) أصغرهم وله قصة مهمة سنذكرها بعد قليل.• وأنجبوا الثلاثي السايكلوبس (Cyclops) وهم الذين صنعوا الأسلحة لزيوس واخوته وهو دور مشابه للأقزام (Dwarfs) في الأساطير النورسية (Norse Mythology):1. برونتوس (Brontes) ويمثل الرعد.2. ستروبس (Steropes) ويمثل البرق.3. ارجس (Arges) ويمثل الوميض.• ذو المئة اليد (the Hecatoncheires) والذين يجب الا يذكروا حسب هيسيود ولكن يذكرهم:1. كوتاس (Cottus).2. برورياس (Briareus)3. جايجيس (Gyges).أترون كل هؤلاء الأبناء؟ اورانوس كان لا يحبهم ويكرههم، بالذات الثلاثي الأخير، وكان كل ولد من هؤلاء عندما تلده جايا يقوم اورانوس بحبسه في مكان سري داخل جايا وقيل داخل تارتروس (Tartus). طبيعي جدا هذا كان يزعج جايا فقد تمددت وترهلت بسبب هذا الحشي، ولذلك بغضت ابنها اورانوس وقامت بصناعة سلاح أسود مكون من مادة الأدمانتيوم (adamantium) يشبح المنجل (Sickle) أو المحش (Scythe) وأعلنت بعد ذلك لجميع أبنائها من يقوم بالإنتقام من ابيهم ويساعدها؟ فتطوع لذلك إبنها الأصغر كرونوس وأخذ المنجل وانتظر اللحظة الحاسمة؛ فقد كان اورانوس يهبط من السماء دائما على الأرض لجايا وينام. هنا اتى كرونوس (Cronos)بضربة واحدة قام بخصي اباه اورانوس. وهنا تناثرت الدماء وبعض قطرات المني وهبطت على الأرض والبحر:• فقطرات الدماء التي سقطت على جايا الأرض بعدها مباشرة ولدوا:1. الساخطات (The Furies) او الإيرنيس (The Erinyes): اليكتو (Alecto)، تيسفوني (Tisphone)، وميجرا (Megra) وهؤلاء يتنقمن من الذي يحنث قسمه للآلهة او يقسم بالآلهة قسم كاذب.2. العمالقة (Giants)3. حوريات المُران (Ash-tree Nypmhs)• أما قطرات المني فسقطت على البحر وتحولت إلى رغوة فولدت أفروديت (Aphrodite).بعد ذلك قام كرونوس بتحرير أخوته

(it's not you. It is you!). وهذا مجدداً أغضب جايا فهي لم تتكبد هذا العناء لكي يظلوا أبنائهم حبسى.ميلاد الأولمبيينلعنة أورانوس:الكيان أورانوس (Uranus) غضب على ابنه كرونوس (Cronos) وتنبأ بأن من أبنائه من سيأخذ من الحكم بسبب فعلته تلك. ولم يفت من كرونوس أخطار تلك النبوءة، فقد أختار كرونوس اخته ريا (Rhea) زوجة له وأجبت له الأولمبيين. ولكي يتجنب لعنة أباه أورانوس كان كرونوس بمجرد ميلاد أبنائه يبلعهم مباشرة دون ان ينظر إليهم وكان من ابتلعهم كرونوس بالترتيب هم:1. هيستيا (Hestia).2. ديميتر (Dimeter).3. هيرا (Hera).4. هيديس (Hades).5. بوسيدون (Poseidon).ميلاد زوس:هذا أحزن وأغضب زوجة كرونوس، ريا. وقد كانت ريا حامل بجنين أخير ولا تريد له مصير أخوته السابقين. فقامت ريا بالشكوى لصاحبة التجربة جايا. فأشارت جايا على ريا ان تلد مولودها في معبد بجزيرة كريت (Crete) وهو الأبن الأخير لكرونوس، سيد الآلهة، الماجن، المتحول، اب الكثيرين، وزوج وعاشق لكثيرات الآله زوس (Zeus). بعد ولادة زوس أودعته ريا لدى جايا، ثم ذهب جايا لكرونوس معها حجر ملفوف برداء كأنه طفل حديث الولادة، وأعطته كرونوس، والأخير قام مباشرة بابتلاعه دون النظر في الرداء.نشأ زوس جبل آيدا (Mount Ida) في كريت وقام بتربيته شياطين الجبل (The Kouretes)، قد قيل إنهم حوريات لكن اخترت شياطين من باب التنويع وهن من أولاد جايا ولا نعلم من اين أتوا، فجايا ام لكثيرين، وكن يرقصن ويصرخن عندما يبكي او يصرخ زوس. والتي أرضعت زوس هي أميثليا (Amaltheia) ابنة الشمس هيلوس (Helios) وهي كائن أقرب للمعزة للبشر وكانت تحتضنه عندما تريد اخفاؤه عن كرونوس. وعندما بلغ سن الرجولة ذهب زوس لإنقاذ اخوته بالتعاون مع جايا وأمه وبن عمته ميتيس (Metis) ابنة أوكيانوس (Okeanos)، التي صنعت دواء مقيئ، وزعم مني التي قامت بإعطاء كرونوس الدواء هي ريا. وبمجرد شربه استفرغ أولا الحجر، ثم بسايدون، هيديس، هيرا، ديميتر وأخيراً هستيا. لذا تقنيا زوس أصبح الأكبر الآن وهيستيا هي الصغرى، وهنا قامت حرب العشر سنوات، الملحمة التيتانية (Titanomachy).الحرب التيتانيةالحرب:اتخذ زوس جبل أولمبيا مقرا له (Mount Olympus)، واجتمع مع اخوته وبقية الآلهة التيتانية وأخبرهم بأنه سيخوض الحرب ضد أبيه كرونوس ووعد الذين سيشاركون الحرب معه، في حال انتصاره، سيعطيهم مكافآت وسيحافظون على مناصبهم التي نالوها مع الجبابرة.أستجاب بعضهم ورفض بعضهم وأشهر من استجاب لدعوة زوس هو بروميثيوس (Prometheus) ابن الجبار ايابتوس (Iapetus) وكان معنى اسمه بعيد النظر، وحث بقية اخوه ابيمثيوس (Epimetheus) ومعنى اسمه قليل العقل او قصير النظر، وكذلك حث اخوه أطلس (Atlas) واستجاب الأول ورفض الأخير.وبدأت الحرب واستمرت 10 سنوات سجالاً، لا نعلم ماهي حيثيات الحرب ولا المعارك التي حدثت، ولكن نعلم ان زوس استشار جدته جايا كيف ينتصر على ابيه؟ فأخبرته ان عليه تحرير أبنائها الثلاثي سايكلوب وكذلك ذوي المئة يد، وهم سيحققون النصر، وفعلا قام زوس بالهبوط إلى تارتروس وقتل حارسة السجن كامبي (Kampe) وحررهم.طلب زوس بعد ذلك منهم المساعدة، فقام الثلاثي باختراع ثلاث أسلحة: الصواعق لزوس (Thunder Bolts)، خوذة الإخفاء لهيديس (Hades Helmet) والرماح ذي الثلاث شعب لبسايدون (Trident).  وبفضل الأسلحة استطاع زوس أخيرا الانتصار ثم حبس من حاربه من الجبابرة في اقصى قاع الأرض وبذلك أنتصر أخيرا زوس وحكم الأرض.لكن هذا الانتصار ليس نهاية الحروب، لأن جايا الأرض، أزعجها مجدداً حبس أبنائها. فكل ما تريد جايا فقط ان يكون جميع أبنائها أحراراً! قتلوا، نهبوا، استولوا لا يهم! المهم ان يكونوا أحراراً. فبدأت مجددا بحياكة حبكة أخرى تنتقم فيها من زوس في ملحمة أخرى، تسمى الـ(Gigantomachy) وسنعرض تفاصيلها الحلقة القادمة ان شاء الله.

To the eye alone, the colors of one of the moons of Saturn are subtle. One hemisphere of Tethys is almost pure white — the result of a steady “snow” of ice grains from one of Saturn's rings. The other hemisphere is tinted light yellow by radiation trapped in Saturn's magnetic field. And the zone between the two faces is pale blue. If you crank up the intensity of the colors, though, some odd features pop out: long, thin arcs that are bright red. They're no more than a few miles wide, but up to about 150 miles long. Tethys is Saturn's fifth-largest moon. It's about 660 miles wide. It's made almost entirely of frozen water, with just a dab of rock mixed in. Its most prominent feature is a giant crater. The impact that created it almost blasted the moon to bits. The red arcs were discovered in images from the Cassini spacecraft, which revealed three sets of them. They're in the northern half of the hemisphere that always faces away from Saturn. Some of them slice across the big crater, suggesting that it had nothing to do with their formation. Scientists aren't sure just why the arcs are red. One idea is that they're cracks in the crust that allow minerals inside Tethys to bubble to the surface. But the mystery of the red arcs remains unsolved. Saturn tags along with the Moon, which is almost at last quarter, early tomorrow. They rise about 3 a.m. Saturn looks like a bright star, directly above the Moon at first light.  Script by Damond Benningfield Support McDonald Observatory

The Moon probably formed after Earth got a big whack. A body as big as Mars slammed into our planet, blasting molten rock and other debris into space. Much of this material then came together to form the Moon. Many other bodies in the solar system have suffered big whacks of their own. Three likely examples are found among the more than 80 known moons of Saturn, which is close to the upper left of the Moon this evening and looks like a bright star. Tethys is about 660 miles across. Its major feature is Odysseus Crater, which is more than a third of the diameter of the moon itself. The impact that gouged it was so powerful that it would have shattered a solid body. That suggests that Tethys was still partially molten when it got hit. That provided enough “cushion” to keep Tethys from flying apart. Mimas is smaller than Tethys, but it has a crater of about the same proportions. Known as Herschel, it's fresher and deeper than Odysseus. It makes the little moon look like a Star Wars death star. Finally, Dione appears to have been spun halfway around its axis. It has more craters on its trailing hemisphere than on its leading hemisphere — just the opposite of what you'd expect. A possible explanation is that a good-sized impact spun it around. But it seems odd that Dione would have been turned precisely 180 degrees. So scientists are still looking into the history of this little moon that might have gotten a big whack. Script by Damond Benningfield Support McDonald Observatory

While Batman and Superman previously set records with the sales of their debut comics, Spider-Man has officially taken the crown, thanks to a recent sale by Heritage Auctions. Amazing Fantasy #15 is the first issue in which Spider-Man, Marvel's most iconic superhero, appeared in comics. A copy of the original issue was sold this week for a whopping $3.6 million, making it the most expensive single comic issue of all time. The 1962 Marvel Comics issue breaks a record that was set by DC's Superman debut earlier this year. An issue of Action Comics #1, which debuted in 1938, previously sold for $3.25 million, which was the biggest sale at the time. The issue of Amazing Fantasy #15 that broke the sales record this week is one of the highest-graded issues of that comic in the entire world. That specific issue is graded CGC 9.6, meaning it's in near mint condition. It is one of only four issues to receive that grading.

Two months later, on November 18, the console was released in North America. Facing off against the PlayStation 2 and the Xbox, the GameCube was the first Nintendo console to use optical discs — though, the console wasn't designed to play DVDs or CDs like its rivals could. While the console was no all-inclusive living room entertainment hub, the GameCube did the video gaming part extremely well and boasted a solid library, including Super Smash Bros. Melee, Metroid Prime, Pikmin, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Super Mario Sunshine, Luigi's Mansion, Chibi-Robo!, and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, among many others, such as third party exclusives like Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader as well as Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, which was a Metal Gear Solid remake co-developed by Silicon Knights that featured new cutscenes by filmmaker Ryuhei Kitamura of Godzilla: Final Wars fame. One of the most last legacies of the GameCube has been its controller. This is a controller design so good — so perfect — that Smash pros were getting their old ones repaired and that Nintendo even re-released it just for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate for Nintendo Switch. Nintendo launched the Wii in 2006 and a year later, the previous gen console was discontinued. It wasn't the success that Nintendo hoped, but it occupies an important place in game console history.16th September 2021 – 100th anniversary of Sir Norman Brearley's first scheduled air service - https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-09-16/brearley-commemorative-flight/100463236 A century after an accomplished young pilot made his mark on aviation history, 55 people have boarded 23 planes for a flight to commemorate his daring feat. The fleet departed Geraldton today as part of a tour following the route of Australia's first scheduled air service, which left the city for Derby on December 5, 1921, under the leadership of Major Norman Brearley. Later knighted for his services to aviation, Major Brearly had returned from the aerial battlefields of World War I with a swag of awards for bravery. He had survived being shot down in no man's land during the war and crawling back to English lines with bullet holes in both lungs. But the experience did little to dampen his enthusiasm for flying, and after the war he won a contract to launch the first scheduled air service in the country. The service was to change the lives of remote West Australians who had previously relied on boat and rail for mail and passenger transport.17th September 2021 – Home computing pioneer Sir Clive Sinclair dies passes away at 81 - https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2021/sep/16/home-computing-pioneer-sir-clive-sinclair-dies-aged-81 Sir Clive Sinclair, the inventor and entrepreneur who was instrumental in bringing home computers to the masses. Sinclair invented the pocket calculator but was best known for popularising the home computer, bringing it to British high-street stores at relatively affordable prices. Many modern-day titans of the games industry got their start on one of his ZX models. For a certain generation of gamer, the computer of choice was either the ZX Spectrum 48K or its rival, the Commodore 64. Elon Musk, the Tesla and SpaceX chief, commented on Twitter on an article calling Sir Clive the father of the ZX Spectrum: “RIP, Sir Sinclair. I loved that computer.” In the early 1970s he designed a series of calculators designed to be small and light enough to fit in the pocket at a time when most existing models were the size of an old-fashioned shop till. “He wanted to make things small and cheap so people could access them,” his daughter said. His first home computer, the ZX80, named after the year it appeared, revolutionised the market, although it was a far cry from today's models. At £79.95 in kit form and £99.95 assembled, it was about one-fifth of the price of other home computers at the time. It sold 50,000, units while its successor, the ZX81, which replaced it, cost £69.95 and sold 250,000. Many games industry veterans got their start typing programs into its touch-based keyboard and became hooked on games such as as 3D Monster Maze and Mazogs. Sinclair became a household name as his products flew off the shelves and was awarded a knighthood in 1983. But he would also become synonymous with one of his less successful inventions – the Sinclair C5 – which would cost him financially. He died from an illness related to cancer that he had for over a decade, in London.Remembrances14th September 1712 – Giovanni Domenico Cassini - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giovanni_Domenico_CassiniAn Italian (naturalised French) mathematician, astronomer and engineer. Cassini was born in Perinaldo, near Imperia, at that time in the County of Nice, part of the Savoyard state. Cassini is known for his work on astronomy and engineering. He discovered four satellites of the planet Saturn and noted the division of the rings of Saturn; the Cassini Division was named after him. Giovanni Domenico Cassini was also the first of his family to begin work on the project of creating a topographic map of France. The Cassini space probe, launched in 1997, was named after him and became the fourth to visit the planet Saturn and the first to orbit the planet. Cassini observed and published surface markings on Mars (earlier seen by Christiaan Huygens but not published), determined the rotation periods of Mars and Jupiter, and discovered four satellites of Saturn: Iapetus and Rhea in 1671 and 1672, and Tethys and Dione (1684).Cassini was the first to observe these four moons, which he called Sidera Lodoicea (the stars of Louis), including Iapetus, whose anomalous variations in brightness he correctly ascribed as being due to the presence of dark material on one hemisphere (now called Cassini Regio in his honour). In addition he discovered the Cassini Division in the rings of Saturn (1675). He shares with Robert Hooke credit for the discovery of the Great Red Spot on Jupiter (ca. 1665). Around 1690, Cassini was the first to observe differential rotation within Jupiter's atmosphere.Cassini initially held the Earth to be the centre of the Solar System, though later observations compelled him to accept the model of the Solar System proposed by Nicolaus Copernicus, and eventually that of Tycho Brahe. "In 1659 he presented a model of the planetary system that was in accord with the hypothesis of Nicolaus Copernicus. In 1661 he developed a method, inspired by Kepler's work, of mapping successive phases of solar eclipses; and in 1662 he published new tables of the sun, based on his observations at San Petronio." Cassini also rejected Newton's theory of gravity, after measurements he conducted which wrongly suggested that the Earth was elongated at its poles. More than forty years of controversy about the subject were closed in favour of Newton's theory after the measurements of the French Geodesic Mission (1736 to 1744) and the Lapponian expedition in 1737 led by Pierre Louis Moreau de Maupertuis Cassini was also the first to make successful measurements of longitude by the method suggested by Galileo, using eclipses of the Galilean satellites as a clock.Attracted to the heavens in his youth, his first interest was in astrology. While young he read widely on the subject of astrology, and soon was very knowledgeable about it; this extensive knowledge of astrology led to his first appointment as an astronomer. Later in life he focused almost exclusively on astronomy and all but denounced astrology as he became increasingly involved in the Scientific Revolution.In 1653, Cassini, wishing to employ the use of a meridian line, sketched a plan for a new and larger meridian line but one that would be difficult to build. His calculations were precise; the construction succeeded perfectly; and its success gave Cassini a brilliant reputation for working with engineering and structural works.In the 1670s, Cassini began work on a project to create a topographic map of France, using Gemma Frisius's technique of triangulation. The project was continued by his son Jacques Cassini and eventually finished by his grandson César-François Cassini de Thury and published as the Carte de Cassini in 1789 or 1793. It was the first topographic map of an entire country.Famous Birthdays14th September 1921 – Paul Poberezny - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_PobereznyAmerican aviator, entrepreneur, and aircraft designer. He founded the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) in 1953, and spent the greater part of his life promoting homebuilt aircraft. Poberezny is widely considered as the first person to have popularized the tradition of aircraft homebuilding in the United States. Through his work founding EAA and the organization's annual convention in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, he had the reputation of helping inspire millions of people to get involved in grassroots aviation. Many attribute his legacy with the growth and sustainment of the US general aviation industry in the later part of the 20th century and into the early 21st. For the last two decades of his tenure as chairman of the EAA from 1989–2009, he worked closely with his son, aerobatic pilot and former EAA president Tom Poberezny, to expand the organization and create several new programs within it, including an aviation education program for youth and the EAA Museum, among other initiatives. Poberezny was inducted into the National Aviation Hall of Fame in 1999, received the Wright Brothers Memorial Trophy in 2002, and was ranked fourth on Flying's list of the 51 Heroes of Aviation; he was the highest-ranked living person on the list at the time of its release. Poberezny founded the Experimental Aircraft Association out of his Hales Corners, Wisconsin home in 1953. It started as predominately an aircraft homebuilding organization in his basement, but later went on to capture all aspects of general aviation internationally.Poberezny flew over 500 aircraft types, including over 170 home-built planes throughout his life. He was introduced to aviation in 1936 at the age of 16 with the gift of a donated damaged WACO Primary Glider that he rebuilt and taught himself to fly. A high school teacher owned the glider and offered to pay Poberezny to repair it. He hauled it to his father's garage, borrowed books on building/repairing airplanes, and completed the restoration soon after. A friend used his car to tow the glider into the air with Poberezny at the controls; it rose to around a hundred feet when he released the tow rope and coasted to a gentle landing in a bed of alfalfa. A year later, Poberezny soloed at age 17 in a 1935 Porterfield and soon co-owned an American Eagle biplane.After returning home from World War II, Poberezny could not afford to buy his own aircraft, so he decided to build one himself. In 1955, he wrote a series of articles for the publication Mechanix Illustrated, where he described how an individual could buy a set of plans and build an airplane at home. In the magazine were also photos of himself fabricating the Baby Ace, an amateur-built aircraft (and the first to be marketed as a "homebuilt") that he bought the rights to for US$200 a few years prior. The articles became extremely popular and gave the concept of homebuilding worldwide acclaim.He designed, modified, and built several home-built aircraft, and had more than 30,000 hours of flight time in his career. Aircraft that he designed and built include:Acro Sport I & II"Little Audrey"Poberezny P-5 Pober SportPober Jr AcePober PixiePober Super AceHe was born in Leavenworth County, KansasEvents of Interest14th September 1914 – HMAS AE1, the Royal Australian Navy's first submarine, is lost at sea with all hands near East New Britain, Papua New Guinea. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMAS_AE1#Deployment_and_loss At 07:00 on 14 September, AE1 departed Blanche Bay, Rabaul, to patrol off Cape Gazelle with HMAS Parramatta. When she had not returned by 20:00, several ships were dispatched to search for her. No trace of the submarine was found, and she was listed as lost with all hands. The disappearance was Australia's first major loss of World War I. After the discovery of the submarine in December 2017, Rear Admiral Peter Briggs, retired, said the likely cause of its loss was a diving accident. He added: The submarine appears to have struck the bottom with sufficient force to dislodge the fin from its footing, forcing it to hinge forward on its leading edge, impacting the casing. On 14 September 2018, a team of researchers headed by the National Maritime Museum director Kevin Sumption concluded their investigation into the sinking of AE1. They concluded that a ventilation valve, which was likely open to make the tropical conditions a little more bearable while the submarine was cruising on the surface near the Duke of York Islands, was insecure when the submarine dived, causing a flood of the submarine's engine room and total loss of control of the AE1. The submarine subsequently sank below 100 metres and imploded, killing everyone on board instantly.14th September 2007 – The Dark Hour premiered in Spain - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0484273/ On this day in 2007 (in Spain), The Dark Hour enjoyed its theatrical release. The SciFi/Horror starred Omar Muñoz and Pepo Oliva, and here's the plot summary : "The eight year old boy Jesús has been living in a crumbling underground facility since he was born with eight survivors of an apocalyptic war: the leader Maria and her lover Pablo; the gays Lucas and Mateo; the astronomer Magdalena and the teenager Ana; the soldier Pedro and the lonely Judas. They are permanently under surveillance, threatened by the contaminated mutants The Strangers and once a day they have to lock themselves in their rooms without heating to protect against the dangerous ghosts The Invisibles that attack in the Cold Hour. They cannot go to the surface, destroyed by a nuclear war. When they need supplies, medications and ammunition, they organize expeditions to a store. When the menace of The Invisibles affects the safety of the group of survivors, they need to reach the surface."IntroArtist – Goblins from MarsSong Title – Super Mario - Overworld Theme (GFM Trap Remix)Song Link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GNMe6kF0j0&index=4&list=PLHmTsVREU3Ar1AJWkimkl6Pux3R5PB-QJFollow us onFacebook- Page - https://www.facebook.com/NerdsAmalgamated/- Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/440485136816406/Twitter - https://twitter.com/NAmalgamatedSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/6Nux69rftdBeeEXwD8GXrSiTunes - https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/top-shelf-nerds/id1347661094Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/nerds_amalgamated/Email - Nerds.Amalgamated@gmail.comSupport via Podhero- https://podhero.com/podcast/449127/nerds-amalgamated See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
