Structure of an M. natalensis mound.
The structure of the mounds can be
very complicated.
Termite mounds usually
outlive the colonies
themselves.
If the inner tunnels of the nest are
exposed, [the colony]
is usually dead.
Sometimes other colonies,
occupy a mound
after the original
builders' deaths.
Workers,
smallest in size,
are the most numerous of the castes.
They are all completely blind,
wingless,
and sexually immature.
Their job is to feed and groom
all of the dependent castes.
They also dig tunnels,
locate food and water,
maintain colony atmospheric homeostasis,
and build and repair
the nest.
The soldiers' job
is to defend the colony
from any unwanted animals.
When the large soldiers
attack, they emit a drop of corrosive liquid,
which spreads between the
open mandibles.
When they bite, the liquid spreads
over the opponent. The secretion is
commonly stated to be toxic
or undergoes coagulation with the air
which renders it glue-like.
Finally, there are
the reproductives,
which include the king and the queen,
responsible for reproducing.

Life is a very long and interesting movie
Life is a brief biography
Life is not an encyclopedia
But a book of several chapters
Life is a garden of flowers
Do not blame Wikipedia
For the bad, fake or false stories
People love tragic or faulty memories
Please forgive the **** Media
The writers, the reporters, the journalists
Who have failed to expose the racists
The rapists, the killers, and the liars
Life is full of surprises and nightmares
Life is made of many sporadic dreams
Bring the lanterns, bring the beams
Our world is sinking in a dark hole
It's obvious that every day is not Super bowl
Life behaves like a roller-coaster
Wear the belt, danger is around the corner
Life is made of ups and downs
Horrors, chaos, innuendoes, stories
Souvenirs, fun and bad memories
Do your job, and ignore the clowns
Life is awesome, awkward and unpredictable
Life is strange, weird, different and delectable
Life is indeed a malayalam movie
Life is a short biography.

I used to think that I was Social
And then Media came to play.
I've only ever consumed the stuff;
At creating, I'm middling - just okay.
I can't Mediate people;
Will never be a journalist;
I like talking sometimes,
But the internet? Not the greatest.
So it's time to divorce these words:
The Social from the Media.
For all the info I could want,
There's always wikipedia.

Xenophon of Athens (/ˈzɛnəfən, -ˌfɒn/; Greek: Ξενοφῶν,
Ancient Greek: [ksenopʰɔ̂ːn], Xenophōn; c. 430 – 354 BC)
was an ancient Greek philosopher, historian, soldier,
mercenary, and student of Socrates. As a historian,
Xenophon is known for recording the history of his time,
the late-5th and early-4th centuries BC, in such works as the Hellenica, which covered the final seven years and the aftermath
of the Peloponnesian War (431–404 BC), thus representing
a thematic continuation of Thucydides' History
of the Peloponnesian War. As one of the 'Ten Thousand',
Greek mercenaries, Xenophon also participated
in Cyrus the Younger's failed campaign to claim the Persian throne
from his brother Artaxerxes II of Persia and recounted the events in Anabasis, his most notable history. Like Plato (427–347 BC),
Xenophon is an authority on Socrates about whom
he wrote several books of dialogues (the Memorabilia)
and an Apology of Socrates to the Jury,
which recounts the philosopher's trial in 399 BC.
Despite being born an Athenian citizen,
Xenophon was also associated with Sparta,
the traditional enemy of Athens. His pro-oligarchic politics,
military service under Spartan generals
in the Persian campaign and elsewhere
and his friendship with King Agesilaus II
endeared Xenophon to the Spartans.
Some of his works have a pro–Spartan bias,
especially the royal biography Agesilaus
and the Constitution of the Spartans.
Xenophon's works span several genres
and are written in plain-language Attic Greek,
for which reason they serve as translation
exercises for contemporary students of the
Ancient Greek language. In the Lives and
Opinions of Eminent Philosophers,
Diogenes Laërtius observed that as a writer
Xenophon of Athens was known as the “Attic Muse”,
for the sweetness of his diction (2.6).

American poetry, the poetry of the United States,
arose first as efforts by colonists to add their voices
to English poetry in the 17th century well before
the constitutional unification of the thirteen colonies,
although before this unification a strong oral
tradition often likened to poetry existed among
Native American societies. Unsurprisingly, most of
the early colonists' work relied on contemporary
British models of poetic form, diction, and theme.
However, in the 19th century a distinctive American
idiom began to emerge. By the later part of that century,
when Walt Whitman was winning an enthusiastic
audience abroad poets from the United States had
begun to take their place at the forefront of the
English-language avant-garde.
Anne Bradstreet (March 20, 1612 – September 16, 1672),
née Dudley, was the most prominent of early English
poets of North America and first writer in England's
North American colonies to be published. She is the first
Puritan figure in American Literature and notable for her
large corpus of poetry as well as personal writings
published posthumously.
Born to a wealthy Puritan family in Northampton, England,
Bradstreet was a well-read scholar especially affected by
the works of Du Bartas. A mother of eight children and the
wife of a public officer in the New England community,
Bradstreet wrote poetry in addition to her other duties. Her
early works read in the style of Du Bartas but her later
writings develop into her unique style of poetry which centers
on her role as a mother, her struggles with the sufferings
of life and her Puritan faith.
Guillaume de Saluste Du Bartas (1544, Monfort – July 1590,
Mauvezin) was a Gascon Huguenot courtier and poet.
Trained as a doctor of law, he served in the court of Henri
de Navarre for most of his career. Du Bartas was celebrated
across sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Europe for his
divine poetry, particularly L'Uranie (1584), Judit (1584),
La Sepmaine; ou, Creation du monde (1578), and La Seconde
Semaine (1584-1603).
Relatively little is known about Du Bartas’ life.
Born in 1544, Guillaume Sallustre descended from
a family of wealthy merchants in Montfort (in the
Armagnac region). His family name later became
‘Saluste’ rather than 'Sallustre', perhaps to invite
comparison with the Roman historian Sallust. He
was possibly a student at College de Guyenne in Bordeaux
(Michel de Montaigne’s school), and studied law
in Toulouse under Jacques Cujas: he became a doctor
of law in 1567, and subsequently a judge in Montfort
in 1571. He gained the lordship of nearby Bartas
(becoming Sieur Du Bartas) on his father’s death in 1566.
He married Catherine de Manas, a local noblewoman,
in 1570 and they had four daughters together: Anne,
Jeanne, Marie and Isabeau.

The film starts with narration from Mother Nature herself,
discussing an experiment with Father Time
that went horribly wrong; On the fictional island of Wongo
she has created a tribe where the men are brutish & ugly
& the women exceedingly beautiful.
She then creates another tribe on a nearby island called Goona
where the women are repulsive & the men are strong
and handsome; For years the two tribes lived unaware
of each other's existence, until ape men from across the
ocean attack the village of Goona. The tribe sends the son of their
king to seek help against the invaders.
The son finds the island of Wongo
the day before the village men are to pick their brides &
the women, seeing the handsome prince,
begin questioning their life among the ugly brutes
that dwell in their village. The men growing jealous
of their visitor, plan to **** him. The women of Wongo,
finding out about the plot, risk their lives to protect
the handsome prince, in doing so offending
the crocodile god of the Wongo people
[portrayed by stock footage of a crocodile
and rubber model]. The women are rounded up
by the village men & sent into the wilderness
until the reptile god has drawn blood for the slight;
The women banding together, watch each other's backs
until the ape men arrive at their village &
the women dispatch the invaders to their god,
the women then leave in search of the men
that had abandoned the island of Wongo.
In Goona, the men begin their rite of manhood,
in which they go into the jungle without weapons
for a month. The women of Wongo coming upon
the weaponless men, decide to take advantage
of their helplessness & one by one, claim them in marriage;
The film concludes with all the beautiful men and women married & the ugly men with the ugly women.

Matrilineality is the tracing of descent
through the female line corresponding
to a societal system in which each person
is identified with their matriline;
– their _mother's_ image –
and which can involve the inheritance
of property and/or titles. A matriline is
a line of descent from
a common female ancestor
to a descendant of either ***
in which the individuals in all intervening
generations are mothers –
in other words, a "mother line".
In matrilineal descent,
individuals belong to the same
group as their mother.
The matriline of historical nobility
was also called the _enatic_ or _Uterine_ ancestry;
From Middle English wombe, wambe,
from Old English womb, wamb
(“belly, stomach; bowels; heart; womb; hollow”),
from Proto-Germanic *wambō
(“belly, stomach, abdomen”),
from Proto-Indo-European *wamp- (“membrane (of bowels),
intestines, womb”). Cognate with Scots wam, wame (“womb”),
Dutch wam (“dewlap of beef; belly of a fish”),
German Wamme, Wampe (“paunch, belly”),
Danish vom (“belly, paunch, rumen”),
Swedish våmb (“belly, stomach, rumen”),
Norwegian vomb (“belly”), Icelandic vömb
(“belly, abdomen, stomach”), Old Welsh gumbelauc (“womb”),
Breton gwamm (“woman, wife”),
Sanskrit वपा (vapā́, “the skin or membrane
lining the intestines or parts of the viscera,
the caul or omentum”).

Yolanda Fox captured her first crown in 1949
when she won Mobile's "Miss Torch" pageant;
In 1950, Fox (then Betbeze) entered Miss Alabama
for the scholarship opportunities;
As Miss Alabama, she traveled to Atlantic City,
New Jersey, to compete in the Miss America
1951 pageant. Having been educated in
a convent school, she was reluctant to pose
in a swimsuit and refused to do so after
she won Miss America. That led the
swimsuit company Catalina, to withdraw
their sponsorship of the Miss America pageant,
bringing about the creation
of the rival Miss USA pageant
Fox's Miss America title, although won in 1950,
was for 1951 & is the first Miss America
to be "postdated" in this manner. Due to the change,
there was no Miss America 1950. The Miss America
Organization has claimed that Fox's (then Betbeze's)
actions were pivotal in directing pageant
progress towards recognizing intellect,
values, & leadership abilities, rather than focusing
on [conventional] beauty alone; from then on Miss America
concentrated more on scholarships than beauty
Fox was active in the feminist movement &
after her one-year reign as Miss America
was active in the NAACP, CORE (Congress of Racial Equality),
& SANE (The Committee for a SANE Nuclear Policy);
& studied philosophy at the New School
for Social Research in New York City.
Fox was an opera singer, gaining a reputation in that field

The revolutionary is a doomed man. He has no private interests, no affairs, sentiments, ties, property nor even a name of his own. His entire being is devoured by one purpose, one thought, one passion - the revolution. Heart and soul, not merely by word but by deed, he has severed every link with the social order and with the entire civilized world; with the laws, good manners, conventions, and morality of that world. He is its merciless enemy and continues to inhabit it with only one purpose - to destroy it.

I'm not so sure about you,
As I am of me;
But I'm a Wikipedia Poet:
You don't need to believe what I write,
I just fabricate,
All of it.
No annotated bibliography,
No reliable footnotes,
No discerning endnotes,
With few promising references.
I don't expect believers,
Just read,
For what it's worth.
Take what you want,
Leave the rest.
Just give me a nod.
It could be true;
It's on the Internet.

She takes my breath away,
effortlessly.
She reads my mind like telepathy,
I forget my lines.
Stage fright.
Held dearly in her own mind,
profound and wicked insight.
I was a deer in the headlights,
blinded by this one of kind.
She said,
don’t worry it’s fine.
And now i don't mind,
just my business,
and my existence is clear.
She steered me through choppy seas,
laid down her policies with honesty
and showed me how to live properly.
guided me through dark times,
stuck to my side like a shadow,
told me i was deep even though I was shallow.
Still my pal now though,
and best friend too,
now i’m investing my nest egg with the best egg
and making omelettes out of our scrambled heads.
