![]() The character is an archetypical figure in popular culture recognised around the world, in part due to being widely adapted into television, film, animation, merchandise, and toys. Wonder Woman has also regularly appeared in comic books featuring the superhero teams Justice Society (from 1941) and Justice League (from 1960). In the decades since her debut, Wonder Woman has gained a cast of enemies bent on destroying her, including classic villains such as Cheetah, Ares, Circe, Doctor Poison, Giganta, Doctor Psycho, Doctor Cyber, along with more recent adversaries such as Veronica Cale and the First Born. Many stories depicted Wonder Woman freeing herself from bondage, which counterpointed the "damsels in distress" trope that was common in comics during the 1940s. Wonder Woman's character was created during World War II the character in the story was initially depicted fighting Axis forces as well as an assortment of colorful supervillains, although over time her stories came to place greater emphasis on characters, deities, and monsters from Greek mythology. ![]() She possesses an arsenal of magical items, including the Lasso of Truth, a pair of indestructible bracelets, a tiara which serves as a projectile, and, in older stories, a range of devices based on Amazon technology. The character has changed in depiction over the decades, including briefly losing her powers entirely in the late 1960s by the 1980s, artist George Perez gave her an athletic look and emphasized her Amazonian heritage. In 2011, DC changed her background with the retcon that she is the biological daughter of Zeus and Hippolyta, jointly raised by her mother and her aunts Antiope and Menalippe. Wonder Woman's origin story (from Golden to Bronze Age) relates that she was sculpted from clay by her mother Queen Hippolyta and was given a life as an Amazon, along with superhuman powers as gifts by the Greek gods. When blending into the society outside of her homeland, she sometimes adopts her civilian identity Diana Prince. In her homeland, the island nation of Themyscira, her official title is Princess Diana of Themyscira. The Wonder Woman title has been published by DC Comics almost continuously ever since.

![]() What I am talking about is calling out our friends on their rubbish. I’m not talking about speaking up in defence of our friend when they’re insulted or being threatened, because that’s obvious. They’re called friends (family and spouse can fulfil this role as well in addition to our friends). Sometimes, we need help carrying that burden, and God has put certain people in our lives precisely for that purpose. If we want to be trustworthy, we have to show we are trustworthy. Of course, not every person is trustworthy, but if we want to be trustworthy toward other people we have to be willing to sacrifice our desires to meet the needs of our friends-to step out of our comfort zone in order to help them carry their burdens. ![]() For my entire adulthood thus far, I’ve done everything by myself, but I can’t do everything by myself I have to learn to trust people. It can be scary at times.ĭue to certain traumatic experiences of rejection and abandonment in my life, I have a difficult time being (appropriately) vulnerable with others. If you’re going to be in a relationship with someone-whether romantic or a platonic friendship-you have to be vulnerable. What do we men do when our friends are in need, whether they’re men or women? Do we stay in the shadows and do nothing, or do we sacrifice our comfort zone and reach out to them to help them carry their burdens? There is vulnerability in every relationship. Instead, he chose to accompany Frodo and embark on the dangerous journey to destroy the ring. He could have easily chosen to stay behind in the relatively safe confines of Rivendell. What did Sam do? Sam also sacrificed comfort and safety in order to help Sam carry this heavy burden. He counted himself as nothing in order to give the world everything-their very lives. Frodo sacrificed comfort and safety by taking the burden of destroying the evil ring. Our greatest need was to be saved from condemnation, and Jesus performed the greatest sacrifice for that need even though we don’t deserve it. Instead, counting others as more significant than ourselves is to sacrifice our desires for their needs rather than our needs for their desires. To count others more significant than ourselves is not to ignore our necessary needs such as food, water, and sleep. Everything Jesus did was never out of an ulterior motive, but in His humility He became nothing for us so that we might be reconciled to God. “Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves” ( Philippians 2:3). One of the marks of being a true friend is the willingness to sacrifice. Biblical masculinity covers a variety of other subjects, but for the purpose of Sam and Frodo as our examples, I will be discussing the aforementioned attributes. True masculinity is a godly man who is willing to make sacrifices, speaks up for the benefit of his friend, perseveres in the midst of troubles throughout the friendship, and is not afraid to show his love for his friend. That is the false masculinity our society has created. Women can certainly relate to what I’m going to discuss in their own same-sex friendships, and men can also use this friendship towards women friends and vice versa but with more caution, but just keep in mind that I’ll be specifically talking about masculine friendships.īy “masculine” I do not mean hairy men who grow bushy beards and belittle those who cannot grow them, wrestle each other to show their domination to the opposite sex and over each other, yell at sports while drinking beer, and hide all their emotions. Since I am a man, and Sam and Frodo are men, I will be focusing specifically on friendship between men rather than women. Is this really a secret homosexual relationship, or is it something deeper in which they exemplify true masculine friendship? I argue that the friendship Sam and Frodo portray is one in which a true masculine friendship is one where the men carry each other’s burdens and are unafraid to show their love for one another. In our society, it is not acceptable that two men are so close that they cry in each other’s arms, kiss the other on the head in a non-sexual manner, and carry the other up to Mount Doom to destroy evil-taking the other’s burdens upon himself. Certainly two male friends cannot have an intimate relationship without being gay! (sarcasm) In a society that highly sexualises everything, this “theory” is not surprising. Because they are so intimately close, they surmise, this must mean they’re gay. I’ve heard and read asinine theories that Sam and Frodo are gay. As a theological writer, I could easily write about LOTR’s allegory of the worldly struggle with darkness and connect it to sin, but I’m going to focus on something else that’s never discussed: Sam and Frodo’s friendship. I love The Lord of the Rings. It is an epic tale of struggle through darkness, both personal and military struggles. ![]() The decoration combines traditional Christian iconography with the ornate swirling motifs typical of Insular art. The illustrations and ornamentation of the Book of Kells surpass those of other Insular Gospel books in extravagance and complexity. The manuscript takes its name from the Abbey of Kells, County Meath, which was its home for centuries. It is regarded as a masterwork of Western calligraphy and the pinnacle of Insular illumination. The text of the Gospels is largely drawn from the Vulgate, although it also includes several passages drawn from the earlier versions of the Bible known as the Vetus Latina. ![]() It is believed to have been created c. 800 AD.

Ĭarpet pages are also found in some medieval Hebrew manuscripts, typically opening the major sections of the book. There are notable carpet pages in the Book of Kells, the Lindisfarne Gospels, the Book of Durrow, and other manuscripts. The earliest surviving example is from the early 7th-century Bobbio Orosius, and relates more closely to Late Antique decoration. The Hebrew Codex Cairensis, from 9th century Galilee, also contains a similar type of page, but stylistically very different. Roman floor mosaics seen in post-Roman Britain, are also cited as a possible source. The tooled leather book binding of the St Cuthbert Gospel represents a simple carpet page in another medium, and the few surviving treasure bindings - metalwork book covers or book shrines - from the same period, such as that on the Lindau Gospels, are also close parallels. Oriental carpets, or other textiles, may themselves have been influences. Some art historians find their origin in similar Coptic decorative book pages, and they also clearly borrow from contemporary metalwork decoration. They are normally symmetrical, or very nearly so, about both a horizontal and vertical axis, though for example the page at right is only symmetrical about a vertical axis. Ĭarpet pages are characterised by ornamentation with brilliant colors, active lines and complex patterns of interlace. They are distinct from pages devoted to highly decorated historiated initials, though the style of decoration may be very similar. Carpet pages are characterised by mainly geometrical ornamentation which may include repeated animal forms. They are a characteristic feature of Insular manuscripts, and typically placed at the beginning of a Gospel Book.

The goal is to complete their puzzle before the other groups, and that they must come up with their own method of convincing the other teams to relinquish the pieces they need, whether through barter, exchange of team members, donating time to another team, a merger, etc. Explain that some of the pieces in their puzzle belong to the other puzzles in the room. Explain that they have a set amount of time to complete the puzzle as a group. Give each team a distinctly different jigsaw puzzle of equal difficulty. The Barter Puzzleīreak your team into groups of equal members. Participants learn about others and also learn about themselves through the lies they thought were true. This team bonding game gives them equal footing to reveal facts about themselves as well as expose the assumptions others have made. Extroverts have no difficulty in making themselves known, but introverts often remain an enigma, bowled into silence. Purpose: This exercise fits into the “get to know each other” category. When they are finished, the team should discuss which they think are the truths and which are the lies. Go around the group, one at a time, and have them read the truths and lie in random order. not “I’ve been to Mars”), and the tenor of the truths and lies should not be offensive or crude.

As you work as a team, brainstorming sessions often sway towards the vocal and dominant personalities even though other team members have valuable ideas, too. Purpose: This exercise shows the value of everyone’s ideas. You may want to choose a fictional problem that allows you to reveal one aspect of the challenge each round. Continue for several rounds, and then see what the results are. Have them pass the paper to the person on their left, and instruct them to use the new idea to build another solution upon.

It’s also a great icebreaker as participants can share their results and compare with others. By establishing how each team member works best, and how they react in different situations, they can learn how to approach each other differently to succeed in work and personal interaction.

Rarely, probiotic bacteria can contain antibiotic-resistant genes. The researchers found that symptoms improved when participants stopped taking probiotics and started taking antibiotics.Īnyone with SIBO symptoms should consult a doctor. Results of a 2018 study indicate a possible link between SIBO and probiotic supplementation in people with brain fogginess. This can cause fermentable carbohydrates to remain in the small intestine for longer. SIBO also frequently develops in older females.Įxperts do not fully understand what causes the overgrowth, but it may result from reduced gut motility, which slows the passage of food through the gut. Not everyone with IBS has SIBO, but the overgrowth is more common in people with IBS. SIBO can also cause brain fogginess and short-term memory problems. Symptoms of SIBO are similar to those of IBS, including gas, bloating, and diarrhea. ![]() The large intestine predominantly contains anaerobic bacteria, which do not require oxygen and live by fermenting indigestible carbohydrates from plant-based foods as they pass through the gut. SIBO occurs when bacteria from the large intestine start growing in the small intestine. The small and large intestines usually contain different types of bacteria. Small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) If a person has a condition that affects their immune system, they should speak with their doctor before taking probiotics.Īlso, anyone using antifungal medication should wait until the infection has cleared up before taking probiotics.
