# Field Guide/Birds/Patagioenas fasciata

Patagioenas fasciata (Band-tailed Pigeon) :
* Band-tailed Pigeon
* Description |
* The Band-tailed Pigeon, Patagioenas fasciata, is a medium-sized bird of the Americas.
* It ranges from British Columbia, Utah, and Colorado south in higher elevations through Mexico and Central America to northern Argentina. In autumn it migrates out of the part of its range north of California, New Mexico, and west Texas. Populations from Costa Rica south are sometimes considered a separate species, the White-naped Pigeon, C. albilinea. It is found at altitudes from 900 m to 3600 m, generally in oak, pine-oak, and coniferous forests. It feeds on seeds, notably acorns.
* It is the biggest pigeon in North America, averaging 34 to 36 cm long and weighing 250-450 grams. The plumage is gray, somewhat darker above. The head and underparts have a faint pink cast, especially in the adult male; the belly is nearly white. The distal half of the tail is also pale (except in the subspecies of Baja California), whence the English name. The bill and feet are yellow, good identification marks at sufficiently close range. Adults have green iridescence on the back of the neck, adjacent to a thin white collar on the nape. Juvenile birds have white feather edges above, giving a scaly appearance.
* This species is relatively quiet for a pigeon. Its voice is low-pitched and owl-like, often in two-syllable calls that rise and than fall (huu-ooh) with even spacing between calls.
* It builds a rudimentary platform nest out of twigs, in which it lays one or two eggs. Outside the breeding season it forms flocks, sometimes over 50 birds, and often becomes nomadic, following the acorn crop or moving to lower altitudes or other areas outside its breeding range. It often visits bird feeders. |

# German/Concept Advanced

<< Lektion N | Lektion NA
Contributed to Lesson 1A, but concept not really introduced until Lesson 5:
As you can see, any verb uses the same declination for wir, sie and Sie. Also, er/sie/es uses the same declination for all three genders. NOTE: Moved to Lesson 6
Used this story for German/Level III/Markus Studiert since it nicely followed your other Markus conversation. But I could not match holt or holt aus to any verb. Can you help? -- holt is from holen, holt aus is from ausholen, which has another meaning, but "holen" is meant here in the sense of "fetching a book out of the shelf" (trying to match the German sentence literally)
Markus ist in der Universität. Er trinkt dort einen Kaffee und ißt ein Brötchen. Danach geht er in die Bibliothek. Er sucht ein Buch über Biochemie. Er holt das Buch aus dem Regal und setzt sich an einen Tisch. Nach einer Stunde geht er in den Hof und raucht eine Zigarette. Danach geht er an den Tisch zurück. Er denkt: "Wenigstens eine Stunde..." und stellt das Buch wieder in das Regal. Heute ist nicht sein Tag.
There are already lessons completed for some of these points. However, it might be that the stories or conversations need to made easier to read in those lessons.
What should be explained here?
* Genders
* Articles: der, die das, ein, eine, ein.
* Nominativ, Dativ and Akkusativ. (We could live without Genitiv for a while)
* Daklinations with articles.
* Keep everything in singular.
Note that the book layout is such that the Advanced lessons add to the basic lesson (1A furthers something taught in 1), but 1A cannot be the place where anything basic is introduced, as the berginning student should not even visit Lesson 1A until later.
Just wondering, but isn't this very limited for Advanced Level? I would like like some help for the Wirtschaftsdeutsch Prüfung but this isn't going to help me.
    This page is meant to be a place for contributors to put proposed lessons. Unsure what you were looking for? - Marsh 01:39, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)

# Greek Mythology/Heroes/Odysseus

Odysseus (also referred to as Ulysses in later Roman myths) is the hero in the story The Odyssey.
He was the king of Ithaca, was married to a lady by the name of Penelope, and had a son, Telemachus. He fought against the Trojans in the Trojan War. He is especially noted for his cleverness throughout Homer's poem. He was favored by the goddess Athena.
He's most famous for coming up with the idea of building the Trojan Horse and constructing that particular plan of attack. This idea came to him after ten long years of war. After the destruction of Troy, he and his men left for home without paying proper respect to Poseidon. For this, Poseidon punished Odysseus with what turned out to be a ten year journey home to Ithaca. Further insults against Poseidon complicated this journey. One insult includes the blinding of the Cyclops Polyphemus, who was the son of Poseidon. For this, Poseidon vowed Odysseus would never see his home. It wasn't until Athena petitioned Zeus for his safe return home that it actually happened.
# Greek Mythology/Major Gods/Anemoi

The Anemoi were a group of wind gods, each with his own direction. Aeolus, the God of Storms, was the leader of the Anemoi and the only member who controlled all four directions. Boreas controlled the north wind and brought winter, Notus controlled the south wind and brought autumn, Zephyrus brought the west wind and brought spring and early summer, and Eurus controlled the east wind.
In Roman mythology, the Anemoi were the Venti, Latin for "wind". They all had different names but had similar occupations with the Greek versions.
# Greek Mythology/Minor Gods/Fates

The Moirae, or Fates, are three old women who are charged with the destinies of all living beings, including heroes and heroines, and these destinies were represented by a string. They were called Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos.
Clotho would spin the string that represented the life of a living being; Lachesis would measure its length to determine the length of that being's life, and Atropos, the eldest, would cut it when the time was right, thus ending with that being's life.
These three goddesses were thought to be the daughters of Zeus and Themis. This is debatable however. Even some deities were afraid of the Fates. The women might have even been more powerful than Zeus himself. These goddesses appear in many myths such as Perseus, in which they are tricked.
# Greek Mythology/Heroes/Oedipus

Oedipus was a king of Thebes. When he was born there was a prophecy that he would murder his father and marry his mother. Because of this, his parents had a soldier carry him away to kill him. However, the soldier couldn't go through with it and instead gave him to a farmer to raise as his own.
Years later, when Oedipus was grown, Thebes was being plagued by the sphinx, who would wait by the roadside and ask every passerby a riddle and when they couldn't answer correctly they would be killed. Oedipus came to Thebes to try his luck at the riddle, but on the way he met a traveler, got into an argument and killed him. The traveler was his father, the king, who had been going to try and find help against the sphinx.
When Oedipus arrived at Thebes he was questioned by the sphinx, but was successful in answering the riddle, and the sphinx in disgrace killed herself. In gratitude for freeing them the people of Thebes made Oedipus their king, to replace the one who had not come back, and Oedipus married the queen, who was really his mother.
It was not until much later that the truth of who Oedipus really was, was revealed. In horror at what he had done he gouged out his own eyes, and wandered the rest of his days.

# Greek Mythology/Minor Gods/Graces

The Graces are the daughters of Zeus and Eurynome, a nymph and a child of the Titan Oceanus. Together with the Muses, they sang and danced with the gods of Mount Olympus to the beautiful music of the lyre of Apollo. They are three in numbers:
* Aglaia - 'splendour' or 'brightness
* Euphrosyne - 'joy and mirth'
* Thalia - 'good cheer' or 'bringer of flowers'.
They were venerated as deities or spirits of vegetation in ancient Greece and later adopted in Roman mythology. Aglaia, the youngest of the three, was said to be the most beautiful.
