During all this time, Penelope has been keeping the suitors at bay with a ruse (trick).
She promises "I will choose when I have finished weaving this cloth", the cloth being a burial cloth for Odysseus' father.
However, every night her servant unpicks the work of the previous day.
The story is made more real by Penelope becoming restless.
The goddess Athena causes Penelope to feel the need to display herself, and fan the flames of the suitors' desire.
Odysseus finally returns to Ithaca, where he disguises himself as a beggar.
He goes to his home and meets his son Telemachus.
Together they kill the suitors, who are trying to marry Penelope in order to gain his kingdom.
Later, the families of the suitors come to kill Odysseus for revenge.
The goddess Athena helps Odysseus by making them stop and give up the fight.
The English word odyssey, meaning long journey, comes from this poem.
The Roman name for Odysseus is Ulysses.
James Joyce's 1922 book Ulysses is based on the book by Homer, but it is very different.

Kimchi (; ; ), also spelled kimchee or gimchi, is a traditional fermented Korean side dish made of vegetables with many seasonings.
In traditional preparation, kimchi was stored underground in jars to keep cool during the summer months and unfrozen during the winter months.
There are hundreds of varieties of kimchi made from napa cabbage, radish, scallion, or cucumber as a main ingredient.
Kimchi is usually very strong for non-Koreans.
There are many different types and Koreans typically eat kimchi in every meal.
It is a staple of Korean food.
Kimchi can be stored for a long time and it does not go bad easily.
However, when it is exposed to hot weather for certain time, kimchi turns sour.
So, it should not be put out unless it is going to be eaten soon.
In Korea kimchi pots are a common sight.
They are large terra cotta pots where the kimchi is stored until it can be eaten or until it ferments.
Kimchi usually takes about 2 weeks to ferment, but some varieties can be eaten right away.
Some must be stored for over a year to be finished.
Every different kind of kimchi has a special taste and a different amount of time to ferment.
Baechu Kimchi is one of the most famous kimchi.
Kkakdugi is made of cubed Korean radish (mu).
It’s especially contains more water and is hard to chew.
Baek kimchi uses milder ingredients.
It’s not spicy.
Chonggak kimchi has a smallish white radish that comes with a ponytail.
Gat kimchi is made from dark green Korean mustard (gat) leaves and stems.
These can be kept for months or even longer.
As these age, they taste like lemons.
Oi Sobagi has a refreshing, cool, and hot taste.
Cucumber is the main ingredient for it.
It can be kept for about a week.
As it ages, it also taste like a lemon.
Dongchimi is a food and a beverage all in one.
When it ferments, it becomes sweet and taste a lot like lemon water.
It can be kept for about a month.
The most common variety of kimchi is made from cabbage, radish, garlic, red pepper, salt and sugar.
The cabbage is soaked in salt water for a few hours.
Coarse rock salt is then rubbed in between the leaves of the cabbage.
Red peppers are also rubbed in and most Kimchi has a lot of pepper in it.
The radish is usually cut into long thin strips and added to the mix.
A little sugar is added to help the fermentation process along much in the same way beer is made.
The amounts of each ingredient vary between the type of kimchi you are making and the personal taste of the maker.
Most kimchi has a special taste with shrimp or fish.
The kimchi is allowed to ferment for a period of time, usually outdoors in a large kimchi pot.
It is also quite common for these pots to be buried under ground.
Kimchi can be kept for a long time and does not go bad.
Koreans make kimchi with their families in December.
Robert Bernard Altman (February 20, 1925 - November 20, 2006) was an American movie director.
He was born in Kansas City, Missouri and died of leukemia in Los Angeles, California.
In 2006, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences recognized his body of work with an Academy Honorary Award.
His movies MASH (1970), McCabe and Mrs. Miller (1971), and Nashville (1975) have been selected to keep in the United States National Film Registry.
In the 1960s, Altman lived for nine years with his second wife in Mandeville Canyon in Brentwood, California.
He moved to Malibu but in 1981 sold that home and the Lion's Gate production company.
"I had no choice", he told the New York Times. "
Nobody was answering the phone" after the flop of Popeye.
He moved his family and business headquarters to New York.
Eventually he moved back to Malibu, where he lived until his death.
In November 2000, he said he would move to Paris if George W. Bush were elected.
He joked that he had meant Paris, Texas when Bush became president.
Altman was an outspoken marijuana user.
He was a member of the NORML advisory board.
He was against the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
Altman died on November 20, 2006, at age 81 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
The movie director Paul Thomas Anderson dedicated his 2007 movie There Will Be Blood to Altman.

Manslaughter is the crime of killing a person.
When a person is killed, lawyers also look at the reasons, and motives why this person was killed.
If the death of a person was not on purpose, but the killer did something that resulted in the death of the another person, this is usually called manslaughter, in English.
It is less serious than if a person was killed on purpose (sometimes with planning involved), which is called murder, in English.
Killing someone in self-defence may be manslaughter.
Depending on the circumstances, killing in self-defence may be no crime at all.
Negligent homicide is an even lesser crime.
Manslaughter is a relatively new legal concept.
It was first mentioned in an English statute in 1547, but was interpreted very loosely and not earnestly enforced, instead usually charging with murder.
Very few countries had manslaughter on their books until the latter half of the 20th century.
In fact, no jurisdiction in the United States had manslaughter on its books until the 20th century.
England and the United States were the first two countries to introduce manslaughter into their laws.

Silicosis is a disease that is caused by small particles of silica (glass) getting trapped in the lungs.
When people have silicosis, the changes in their body often are cyanosis (when skin goes a blueish color), a fever, when the body gets hotter or being not able to breathe properly.
Sometimes doctors do not realize that someone has silicosis, and think that they have other illnesses like pneumonia, tuberculosis or fluid in the lungs.
It was first noticed in 1705 by Bernardino Ramazzini (an Italian doctor).
He saw something that looked like sand in the lungs of stonecutters.
The name silicosis is from Visconti in 1870.
The name comes from the Latin silex which means flint.
