# Menelaus (son of Lagus)

Menelaus (/ˌmɛnɪˈleɪəs/; Ancient Greek: Μενέλαος, Menelaos), son of Lagus and brother of Ptolemy I Soter (ruler of Egypt), served as priest of the eponymous state cult of Alexander, and was for a time king in Cyprus, under his brother.
His name does not occur among the officers or generals of Alexander the Great (336–323 BC) during the lifetime of that monarch, though it is incidentally mentioned by Phylarchus in terms that would seem to imply that he then already occupied a distinguished position. The first occasion on which he appears in history is 315 BC, when he was appointed by his brother to the chief command of the forces dispatched to Cyprus, where they were destined to co-operate with the fleet of Seleucus, and with Nicocreon, king of Salamis. By their combined efforts, they soon reduced all the cities of Cyprus to subjection, with the exception of Citium; and that also, it would appear, must have ultimately submitted. Menelaus now remained in the island, which he governed with almost absolute authority, the petty princes of the several cities being deposed, imprisoned, or assassinated on the slightest symptom of disaffection.
He still held the chief command in 306 BC, when Demetrius Poliorcetes arrived in Cyprus with a powerful fleet and army. Unable to contend with this formidable antagonist in the open field, Menelaus drew together all his forces, and shut himself up within the walls of Salamis, which he prepared to defend to the utmost. But having risked an action under the walls of the town, he was defeated with much loss; and Demetrius pressed the siege with his wonted vigour. Menelaus, however, succeeded in burning his battering engines, and by the most strenuous exertions, made good his defence until the arrival of Ptolemy himself, with a powerful fleet, to the relief of the island. In the great sea-fight that ensued, Menelaus sent a squadron of sixty ships to assist Ptolemy; but though these succeeded in forcing their way out of the harbour of Salamis, they came too late to retrieve the fortune of the day; and the total defeat of the Egyptian fleet having extinguished all his hopes of succour, he immediately afterwards surrendered the city of Salamis, with all his forces, both military and naval, into the hands of Demetrius. The Besieger, with characteristic magnanimity, sent him back to Egypt, accompanied by his friends, and carrying with him all his private property.
In the 280s, he served as the first eponymous priest of the cult of Alexander.
# Merope (daughter of Oenopion)

Merope (/ˈmɛrəpiː/; Ancient Greek: Μερόπη Meropê) was a mortal princess in Greek mythology, who was loved by the hunter Orion and was his fiancée. She is called Haero by Parthenius of Nicaea.

## Family

Merope was a daughter of King Oenopion, who was a legendary ruler of Chios and son of Princess Ariadne. He was said to have brought winemaking to the island. Merope's mother was the nymph Helike. She was a sister to Melas, Talus, Euanthes, Salagus and Athamas.

## Merope and Orion

The story of Oenopion's daughter differs somewhat in different ancient sources. The hunter Orion married a lovely woman called Side and when she was punished by Hera, he walked to Chios over the Aegean, and Oenopion welcomed him with a banquet.
Merope was beloved by Orion but he did not have the approval of Oenopion. Orion got drunk and slept with or assaulted Merope. In revenge, Oenopion stabbed out Orion's eyes, and then threw him off the island.

## Theories

The story of Orion and Merope varies. One source refers to Merope as the wife of Oenopion and not his daughter. Another refers to Merope as the daughter of King Minos, who was a father of Merope's grandmother.
The Hungarian mythographer Károly Kerényi, one of the founders of the modern study of mythology, wrote about Merope in Gods of the Greeks. Kerényi portrays Orion as a giant born outside his mother. He placed great stress on the variant in which Merope is the wife of Oenopion. He sees this as the remnant of a lost form of the myth in which Merope was Orion's mother (converted by later generations to his stepmother).

## In popular culture

The 2002 opera Galileo Galilei by American composer Philip Glass includes an opera within an opera piece between Orion and Merope.

# Western Dental

Western Dental & Orthodontics (commonly known as Western Dental) is a chain of dental offices based in Orange, California, United States. It was founded in 1903 in Los Angeles. Western Dental has almost 250 offices in California, Arizona, Nevada, and Texas, making it one of the largest dental service providers in the United States. Up to 70% of its California patients are covered under the state's Denti-Cal health insurance program for low-income families.
In 1997 the Los Angeles Times reported on "recent accusations by state regulators" that Western Dental was providing “shoddy, dangerous” medical care to patients, as well as accusations that the company was operating a "low-quality dental mill" in which dentists were encouraged to over-treat patients to maximize profits. Later in the article the Times added that Western "has a decade-long history of run-ins with regulators over its medical care.". A 2010 article by local news channel ABC13 describes "lifetime injuries" patients experienced at Western Dental, with one woman left with a severed nerve after having a tooth pulled. Two other patients cited in the article had all their teeth pulled and replaced with dentures by Western Dental, only to be told later by another dentist that their teeth had actually been healthy and did not need to be pulled. The article also notes Western Dental was forced to pay a $1.2 million fine in 1996, with the California Department of Corporations accusing Western Dental of "consistent disregard for quality of care and patient health".

# Michael Velliquette

Michael Velliquette is an American collage artist.

## Education

Velliquette received his BFA from Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida, in 1993 and his MFA from the University of Wisconsin in 2000. He works and lives in Madison, Wisconsin.

## Works

Velliquette began his career with hanging mobiles created from felt, Xerox prints, puffy paint, stickers and colored string. The pieces were composed of silhouettes of Velliquette’s profile.
Velliquette created an installation for the show "the ü in the i" at ArtPlace in Austin, Texas, which transformed the gallery into a dream world reminiscent of a children’s TV show set. The installation included a bridge that appears to rise out of the water, two enormous hands that play a game of Cat’s Cradle, and a small hut made from cardboard.
After his large installation pieces, Velliquette focused on making smaller scale paper collages. Although these works were two-dimensional, they still included his rainbow palette and his love of camp. These collages are extremely intricate and contain several layers of cut paper with jagged edges. His 2007 exhibition, The Intuitive Jungle, included 12 scenes with beastly creatures that represent elements of the human consciousness like fear, wisdom or rage.
Velliquette’s three-dimensional paper collages focus on objects that possess devotional characteristics and reference totems, stupas and altars. Power Tower, for example, is strongly vertical and creates imagery reminiscent of ritualistic icons. He has also worked on what he calls his “Inner Beasts” which are inspired by mythological creatures and represent his own state of mind.
Velliquette continues to explore ornamental abstraction through his collages and drawings. In these works he uses hand-painted heavyweight paper which creates an intense color palette and contrast between the brushstrokes and the sharp edges of the cut paper. Velliquette has been influenced by the practice of stigilization, a method for developing symbols by which a word of intent is translated into a formal design. For example, Good Ciphers 1-12 includes handwritten lines like “Opening to a deeper sense of self” which incorporate gestural rune-like symbols made from the letters of the statement.
He has exhibited at DCKT Contemporary in New York (2007, 2009). Velliquette was also included in group exhibitions "New American Talent - 21st Exhibition" (2006) at the Jones Center for Contemporary Art in Austin, Texas, and "We Are Electric" (2003) at Deitch Projects in New York. Along with Leslee Fraser and artist Joey Fauerso, he opened the Bower artspace in San Antonio, Texas in 2002. After three successful years of exhibitions and programs, the space went on hiatus.
# Mie celor

Mie celor (lit. 'blanched noodle' in Indonesian) is a Southeast Asian noodle soup dish served in a coconut milk and shrimp-based broth, specialty of Palembang city, South Sumatra, Indonesia.
Next to pempek, mie celor is widely associated with Palembang city, despite this noodles might be sold in other cities in Sumatra. Certain restaurants in Palembang specialised on serving and selling this flavourful shrimp noodles with their specific recipe inherited for generations.

## Ingredients

It is made from rather large yellow wheat noodles, with the size similar to Japanese buckwheat noodle. The broth can be made from ebi (dried shrimp) or fresh shrimp, cooked in rich coconut milk. The shrimp is the key ingredient that creates the savoury broth. The noodles are served with bean sprouts and hard boiled egg, and sprinkled with sliced fresh celery, scallion and fried shallot.
If the broth was made from some fresh shrimps, the peeled shrimp itself would be the part of the topping. If however dried shrimps are used instead, the ground dried shrimp powder would be sprinkled on top of the noodles. To add spiciness, a separate sambal might be added on the side.

## Etymology

In local South Sumatran Malay dialect, celor or celur means showering the ingredients in boiled hot water, in similar fashion as blanching. It refers to the method of softening and cooking the noodle before simmering in coconut milk soup. Today, together with pempek, mie celor has become Palembang's signature dish.
# The Volunteer (canal boat)

The Volunteer is a 76-foot (23 m) replica of a 19th-century canal boat which is owned and operated by the Canal Corridor Association. The Volunteer operates on a restored section of the Illinois and Michigan Canal at LaSalle, Illinois, United States.

## Construction

The boat was built in Albany, New York, by Scarano Boat Builders at a cost of $993,840. The Volunteer was designed to resemble an original canal boat; however, the hull of The Volunteer is constructed out of aluminum and the upper portion is built of rot resistant white cedar. The use of these non-traditional materials was intended to help make the boat easy to maintain and increase the vessel's life.

## The boat ride

The Volunteer takes up to 70 passengers on hour-long round trip journeys on a restored segment of the 96-mile (154 km) Illinois and Michigan Canal. While headed east from its dock at Lock 14, The Volunteer is pulled by one of two mules named "Moe" and "Larry" that walk along the adjacent towpath. The captain steers the boat by hand with the large wooden rudder at the back of the boat. Along the way an interpreter, dressed in period clothing, explains to passengers the history of the canal and what travel was like in the year 1848. Once the boat reaches the Little Vermilion River aqueduct, the mules are detached and the boat reverses using its twin 4-horsepower electric motors.
# Menadarva

# Anthony van Zijlvelt

According to the RKD he made portrait prints after Pieter Dubordieu and Joachim von Sandrart, but also of his own invention. He was also a painter and draughtsman of marines.
# Darwinian hedonism

Darwinian hedonism is an evolutionary framework that explains human motivation through the pursuit of pleasure and avoidance of pain. It argues that hedonic drives evolved as adaptive mechanisms to enhance survival and reproductive success. Behaviors such as consuming high-calorie foods or using psychoactive substances, which provide immediate gratification, may have been advantageous in ancestral environments but contribute to modern health issues, including chronic diseases. By recognizing the evolutionary basis of these tendencies, researchers can develop more effective interventions to address unhealthy behaviors, focusing on modifying the underlying pleasure-seeking mechanisms rather than solely emphasizing self-control or willpower.

## Mechanisms

Darwinian hedonism proposes that pleasure-seeking behaviors, once beneficial for survival and reproduction, can become maladaptive in modern environments. In ancestral settings, cravings for high-calorie foods, conserving energy, and seeking psychoactive substances provided evolutionary advantages. However, in today's world, these same tendencies contribute to unhealthy behaviors such as poor diet, physical inactivity, and substance use.
The theory explains why individuals persist in harmful habits despite knowing the risks, emphasizing the distinction between hedonic motivation (impulsive, automatic desires) and reflective motivation (deliberate, controlled decision-making). This contrast highlights the difficulty of overcoming ingrained behaviors shaped by evolutionary pressures.

## Criticism

Darwinian hedonism faces criticism for its narrow focus on pleasure as a primary motivator of human behavior. Some argue that hedonism is insufficient as a moral framework because it neglects values such as freedom, fairness, and duty, which are essential for ethical decision-making. Additionally, critics highlight its potential to encourage short-term gratification at the expense of long-term well-being, both individually and socially. Another concern is its role in promoting unsustainable environmental behavior, as excessive consumption driven by hedonic desires can contribute to resource depletion, pollution, and ecological harm, undermining efforts toward sustainability and responsible stewardship of the planet.

## Applications

Darwinian hedonism offers insights into various unhealthy behaviors by explaining how pleasure-seeking drives human actions. It helps understand substance abuse, as individuals may seek the pleasure of psychoactive substances like alcohol and drugs. The framework also sheds light on unhealthy eating habits, where people are drawn to high-calorie foods due to evolutionary impulses for energy conservation. Additionally, it explains physical inactivity, with sedentary behavior being linked to evolutionary tendencies to conserve energy. In all these cases, behaviors that were once adaptive can become maladaptive in modern environments, leading to health issues.
