Yesterday I was a dog. Today I'm a dog. Tomorrow I'll probably still be a dog. Sigh! There's so little hope for advancement. |

I'm no hero. Heroes don't come back. Survivors return home. Heroes never come home. If anyone thinks I'm a hero, I'm not. |
| Barry Eisler |
If the reader cares, I don't think it matters so much whether your hero is in fact an anti-hero. |
| Pierfrancesco Favino |
To me, the word 'hero' hasn't got positive or negative value - 'hero' is the person who leads you through the story. |
| Umberto Eco |
The real hero is always a hero by mistake; he dreams of being an honest coward like everybody else. |

It's hard to keep the romance going sometimes. Because you have a job. And you have children. And you have a house and a dog. And something leaks in the basement, and somebody has to take the dog to the vet... you're exhausted. |

I think the hedge-fund industry has taken a reputational turn for the worse, this dog-eat-dog stuff. I'm not just talking about Herbalife or J. C. Penney, but in other situations where the media really focuses on who's long and who's short. I don't think it's a good thing for the industry. |

It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog. |

To push behind the dog sled and run in front of the dog sled. That was always an interesting job. |
| Rainer Maria Rilke |
He reproduced himself with so much humble objectivity, with the unquestioning, matter of fact interest of a dog who sees himself in a mirror and thinks: there's another dog. |

Though I agree that it is a pretty common trope in media today for a male hero to be rewarded with the primary female lead (regardless of the boring details of their actual day-to-day compatibility, regardless of whether she wants it, because of course she does). Being rewarded for doing everything right by getting a girlfriend and sex has become such an assumed aspect of a good ending that I am a bit troubled by it.

A Hacker 'Hero' Has Been Banned From Cyber Conferences After Decades Of Inappropriate Behavior (
John Draper, a prankster hero to an early generation of hackers, used his status at cybersecurity conferences to arrange private meetings with teenage fans and a reporter where he touched them inappropriately, multiple men have told BuzzFeed News. The allegations are the latest in what has become in recent weeks an explosion of sexual misconduct reports that have roiled a seemingly endless list of industries, from Hollywood to the news media to the Alabama Senate race. As in many of those other cases, Draper's actions were well known to at least a core of people who had regular contact with him. Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak told BuzzFeed News that Steve Jobs once told him that Draper, an ear...

MAPPING THE WORLD GRID
by David Hatcher Childress
What is the World Grid? How can it be it mapped? What does it do? Why should we be concerned about it? What does it have to with anti-gravity?
In my many travels around the world in search of lost cities and ancient mysteries I have often wondered if there was some link connecting many of the ancient megalithic sites. Some years ago I discovered that there was no such thing as a coincidence. If the placement of ancient sites was no coinciden...

Imagine having lived your life on a basis or premise of a truth ? be it in science, religion, culture, philosophy, ethic or even politic ? then finding out one day that everything you ever believed in was wrong, completely and utterly untrue. Would you be able to accept it? Would you be able to change your way of thinking?
It is undoubtedly a frightening prospect, but that is basically what is espoused in the "Allegory of the Cave" found in Plato's Republic. Socrates was apparently the one who originated the allegory, though it was his student Plato who recorded it ? together with his own interpretations.

The Rise of the Sumerian City States
Little is known about the origins of the Sumerian people, who spoke a language totally distinct from that of the Semitic inhabitants of the valleys to the north. The Sumerians probably moved down into the swamps of the delta under pressure of over-population of the foothills after 3900 B. c. Al- though at first they formed small agricultural villages, they soon found not only that the richness of the alluvial land permitted greater density of settlement but also that the vast engineering works in canals and dikes necessary to harness the annual floods required work forces of hundreds of men. Moreover, the layout and clearing of the canals required expert planning, while the division of the irrigated land, the water, and the crops demanded political co...
