Nairaland / General / Mandela's Jailer Mourns His Death by Canine1(m): 5:47pm On Dec 08, 2013 |
Christo Brand, Nelson Mandela's Jailer, Mourns His Death . . — He was with Nelson Mandela during all those years the anti-apartheid icon was imprisoned on Robben Island. And, like millions around the world, he has been hit hard by Mandela's death. . . Yet this South African was not one of Mandela's fellow prisoners. Christo Brand was his jailer.The two men — the black political prisoner and the white Afrikaans warden — forged an unlikely but enduring friendship. . . They last met about two years ago when Brand, now in his 50s, brought his wife, son and grandson to see Mandela in Cape Town in a Sunday afternoon visit that lasted nearly three hours. They had "nice chats about the past, about his family. He wanted to pick up my grandchild, to hold him, which he was a little bit shy to go to him. You could see he really reached out for touching a child at that moment," Brand recalled. . . "When I got the message when he passed away, it was very sad for me," Brand told The Associated Press on Saturday. "But I think he was successful and he did what he wanted to do. I wanted him to go in peace and I am thinking of the family today, what they go through." . . Brand started to work on Robben Island in 1978 when he was 18 and Mandela was 60. Mandela spent 18 of his 27 years in prison on Robben Island. . . Eventually Brand grew to like Mandela and smuggled in special treats like bread and Mandela's favorite hair pomade. Brand even sneaked in Mandela's infant granddaughter so that the prisoner could hold her. . . For his part, Mandela encouraged Brand to continue his education and maintained an interest in him and his family. . . Years later, when Mandela was president, he took special care to single out Brand for recognition while Brand was a lowly civil servant while South Africa's new constitution was being drafted. Mandela flew in by helicopter and entered the room where members of parliament were debating the new constitution, said Brand. . . Mandela went around the room shaking hands with parliamentarians but when he saw Brand, who was distributing documents, Mandela lifted his arms and warmly greeted him. . "He immediately made a big announcement to everyone: 'You know who is this person? This person was my warden, this person was my friend.'" Brand said he felt very humble and proud at that moment. . After that when the parliamentarians went out for a group photo, Mandela insisted that Brand be in the photo. "He said 'No, no. You must stand next to me, we belong together.'" . . Brand once again works on Robben Island which is no longer a prison but a bustling tourist attraction. He and other former guards and prisoners tell visitors about the new South Africa's racial reconciliation. . . Brand said he shared a joke with Mandela about his final resting place. . . "I say to Mandela that we must bury you on Robben Island. Then he just laughed. He said 'Why? For tourist attraction?' He said 'You should have made money. But I think I must go to Qunu.' That was him making a joke." . . .___ . . . http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/4405351 |

Nairaland / General / BEWARE! 2-way Mirrors, They Can See U But U Cant See Them.. by Canine1(m): 9:54am On Nov 22, 2013 |
Two Way Mirror HOW TO DETECT A 2-WAY MIRROR When we visit toilets, bathrooms, hotel rooms, changing rooms, etc., how many of you know for sure that the seemingly ordinary mirror hanging on the wall is a real mirror, or actually a 2-way mirror (i.e., they can see you, but you can’t see them)? There have been many cases of people installing 2-way mirrors in female changing rooms. It is very difficult to positively identify the surface by just looking at it. So, how do we determine with any amount of certainty what type of mirror we are looking at? Just conduct this simple test: Place the tip of your fingernail against the reflective surface and if there is a GAP between your fingernail and the image of the nail,then it is a GENUINE mirror. However, if your fingernail DIRECTLY TOUCHES the image of your nail, then BEWARE, FOR IT IS A 2-WAY MIRROR! So remember, everytime you see a mirror, do the"fingernail test." It doesn’t cost you anything. It is simple to do, and it might save you from getting "visually raped"! Urbanlegends.

Literature / Re: Calling All Greek Mythology Fans by Canine1(m): 3:47pm On Nov 21, 2013 |
Ω. Kratos Kratos (Greek mythology) is a god of strength and might, who appears briefly in Greek mythology long enough to make an impression. . . Kratos is the brother of Nike (Greek goddess of victory), Bia (Greek goddess of force), and Zelus (Greek god of rivalry). The four of them together were the first to stand with Zeus as he defended Mount Olympus from the god of monsters Typhon. . . This is a small, but critical role in Greek mythology, as the story of Typhon is a central myth of the Olympian gods. Kratos doesn't play an enormous role in Greek myth, but his influence in modern mythology appears to be strong. . . . Kratos in Modern Mythology Though Kratos in Greek mythology was the god of strength, his name is probably most familiar in modern times as the main character in the popular video game series God of War. Apparently the title "God of War" refers not to the character Kratos but to the Greek god of war Ares, who plays a role in the plot. . . Though the character of Kratos in the series is supposedly not derived from the god of strength Kratos of Greek mythology, there are many indications within the game and its creation to suggest that the connection is stronger than one might be led to believe. . . For example, the story takes place in ancient Greece and has many of the famous Greek gods and goddesses involved. The character Kratos is a mortal who has a tenuous relationship with the gods, to put it best. But several of the characteristics of the character Kratos come from Greek myth. The designers themselves claimed that they wanted him to look as "Greek and brutal" as possible, which fits well with the imagery of Kratos of Greek mythology. . . More telling, perhaps, is the fact that chains are an important theme with the character, both in weaponry and in physical use. This could be seen as tying back to Kratos of Greek mythology's role in the story of Prometheus, at least according to the ancient poem 'Prometheus Bound' by Aeschylus. In 'Prometheus Bound', Kratos, on behalf of Zeus, tells the blacksmith god Haphaestus to chain Prometheus to the rocks of a mountain to serve his punishment for giving fire to the mortal world of humans. . . . . @valon4ego.. to answer ur question, Ares is probably still the god of war. The real god of war. |

Ares The Greek God of War. Basic Story:Ares is the sole son of the supreme Greek god Zeusand his legitimate wife, Hera. Neither of his far-from-mild-mannered parents were said to be too fond of their even more irritable son; a little more loving nurturing from them might have resulted in Ares being just the God of Minor Conflicts. Ares' Appearance: A bearded, good-looking man in the prime of life (at least before TV interpretations, where he is portrayed as a vigorous, handsome young man). Symbol or Attribute:The spear. Strengths:Decisive, determined, fearless. . Weaknesses:Impulsive, bloodthirsty, raring for a fight regardless of the consequences. . Affairs:No spouse, and his main love is war, but he didn't have too many lonely nights. Repeatedly deceived the smith god Hephaestusby making love with his beautiful wife Aphrodite. The sun god Helios saw them and revealed the affair to the rest of the Olympians, the males of whom dropped down to watch, embarassing Aphrodite and Ares. Supposedly Ares was actually in love with Aphrodite, beyond mere lust. If opposites attract, the God of War and the Goddess of Love would seem to be a sensible match. . . . The popular game "God of War" cites demi god or divine spirit Kratos as a son and then successor of Ares, but this is not the traditional myth of either Ares or Kratos. |

Valon4ego: anybody know the what actually happened to Eris, the god of war? In xena the warrior princess, he was kinda dethroned, but in god of war, he was killed by krator. Hi friend.. U seem to have confused Ares the God of War with: Eris Goddess of Discord Sister of Ares (the god of War), daughter of Zeus and Hera, the hand of Eriscan be seen in every quarrel, feud and disagreement. Her eternal and unforgiving rage was the cause of fear and respect on Mount Olympos(Olympus), though despised by the Olympians they dared not confront her. She rode into battle with her brother and companion, Ares, but she was more generally known for the less deadly forms of conflict; political strife, personal contention, rivalry and wrangling. Because of Eris' disagreeable nature she was the only goddess not to be invited to the wedding of Peleus and Thetis. When she turned up anyway, she was refused admittance and, in a rage, threw a golden apple amongst the goddesses inscribed "To the fairest." Three goddesses laid claim it, and in their rivalry brought about the events which led to the Trojan War. Eris was closely identified with the war-goddess Enyo. Indeed Homer uses the names interchangeably. Her Roman name was Discordia.. . Eris in The Iliad(listed by book and line) ¤.05.518 ...Aineias (Aeneas) returned from the fighting unwounded because the god of the silver bow (Apollon), Ares and Eris were fighting with the Trojans ¤.11.073 ...The soldiers fought like wolves while Eris, the Lady of Sorrow, watched with pleasure ¤.20.048 ...When the Immortals joined the battle for Troy, Eris, defender of people, burst onto the battlefield.. |
