Abassi was the creator god in the pantheon of the Nigeria n Efik people Efik people. After a suggestion by his wife Atai Abassi created the first humans and introduced them to the world. However, to prevent them from exceeding his wisdom, he ordered the first humans to neither procreate nor labor. This prohibition was followed for some time, but eventually the first couple did have children and work, thus doing some creation of their own. Unfortunately, they quickly created a terrible overpopulation problem, which made Abassi feel insecure. This led his wife Atai to give humanity two gifts, Argument and Death, which would help keep the numbers of humans down. ref name ODWM Citation last first author link contribution Abassi editor last Cotterell editor first Arthur title Oxford Dictionary of World Mythology volume pages publisher Oxford University Press place Oxford year 1997 contribution url http www.enotes.com wm encyclopedia abassi isbn 0 19 217747 8 ref See also Efik mythology References reflist Other sources http www.godchecker.com pantheon african mythology.php?deity ABASSI Godchecker.com article on Abassi Africa myth stub Category African gods Category Creator gods Category Efik mythology fi Abassi ... more details

The Vuldarians were a proud warrior race that existed billions of years ago and acted as the self appointed protectors of their quadrant of the galaxy.

With most of the Vuldarian warriors dead, the Tormocks proceeded to lay waste to Vuldar and captured most of the female Vuldarians with their Kraggz drones.

File Holt Renfrew Mannequins.jpg right thumb mannequin Mannequins The Munich Mannequins is a poem by Sylvia Plath which recounts Plath s experience of insomnia on a trip to the titular German city. The poem is famous for its opening line and for referring to conservative Munich as the morgue between Paris and Rome. Style and Structure The poem is written in 13 couplets, ending with a single one line stanza, and follows no rhyme scheme. Context In the early 1960s, the fashion models were often referred to as mannequins , Citation needed date April 2010 and those from Germany enjoyed special popularity. The Munich Mannequins was written in little over a month before her suicide, making it one of her Ariel poems. Interpretation In The Munich Mannequins Plath refers to the lives of women and how they are seen by others, specifically with regard to how biological functions related to childbearing are perceived to define them. The first line of the poem, Perfection is terrible, it cannot have children, refers both to the appearance of the culturally ubiquitous live German models and that of inanimate mannequins. Just as mannequins cannot procreate, nor can their live counterparts risk their perfection by becoming pregnant. Plath suggests that perfection itself tamps the womb, and goes on to describe the emotions she associates with menstruation , the cycles of menstruation symbolized by the moon. ref name SocialContext Women s Studies , Vol. 7, Nos. 1 2, 1980, pp. 171 83 ref br Literary critic Pamela J. Annas argues The Munich Mannequins describes particularly well the social landscape within which the I of Sylvia Plath s poems is trapped . ref name SocialContext She supports this ultimately through highlighting the domination of the artificial mannequins over the real women and the male society s transformation of women into puppets, and unnatural figures, representing their disgust with and fear of women . ref name SocialContext She goes on to say that the winter settin ... more details

Constant s New Babylon was to be a series of linked transformable structures, some of which were themselves the size of a small city what architects call a megastructure . Perched above ground, Constant s megastructures would literally leave the bourgeois metropolis below and would be populated by homo ludens man at play. Homo Ludens is the title of a book by the great Dutch historian Johan Huizinga . In the New Babylon, the bourgeois shackles of work, family life , and civic responsibility would be discarded. The post revolutionary individual would wander from one leisure environment to another in search of new sensations.
