The Suda is alone in claiming that Sappho was married to a "very wealthy man called Cercylas, who traded from Andros"[15] and that he was Cleïs' father. This tradition may have been invented by the comic poets as a witticism, as the name of the purported husband means "Penis, from Men's Island."[16]

Although not the first Tetris game to feature a new kind of tetris... "easy spin" (see The Next Tetris), also called "infinite spin" by critics,[15] Tetris Worlds was the first game to fall under major criticisms for it. Easy spin refers to the property of a Tetrimino to stop falling for a moment after left or right movement or rotation, effectively allowing someone to suspend the Tetrimino while thinking on where to place it. This feature has been implemented into The Tetris Company's official guideline.[11] This new type of play differs from traditional Tetris because it takes away the pressure of higher level speed. Some reviewers[16] even went so far as to say that this mechanism broke the game. The goal in Tetris Worlds, however, is to complete a certain number of lines as fast as possible, so the ability to hold off a piece's placement will not make achieving that goal any faster. Later, GameSpot received "easy spin" more openly, saying that "the infinite spin issue honestly really affects only a few of the single-player gameplay modes in Tetris DS, because any competitive mode requires you to lay down pieces as quickly as humanly possible."[17] In response to the issue, Henk Rogers stated in an interview that infinite spin was an intentional part of the game design, allowing novice players to expend some of their available scoring time to decide on the best placement of a piece. Rogers observed that "gratuitous spinning" does not occur in competitive play, as expert players do not require much time to think about where a piece should be placed.[11]

quote:

Such fights are rarely sanctioned by any legitimate governing body, and are almost always intended to be a display in erotic exhibitionism. They are usually staged, well-rehearsed or otherwise choreographed, almost always ending with a perceived knockout. In production and quality, they are very similar to, and probably originated alongside, what has come to be known as foxy boxing. If these mixed boxing matches were real, and if the boxers were actually trying to hurt their opponent and emerge as the winner, they could be seen (in concept) as a literal "battle of the sexes". However, most of these fights are intended for little more than sexual or erotic enjoyment. It's important to keep in mind that very few, if any, of the punches actually make contact, but to the spectator at ringside or viewing the fight on video or DVD, the fight appears to be real. There have been a few sanctioned or legitimate mixed boxing matches in recent years, featuring a fight where at least one of the boxers is a professional fighter, although most governing bodies shun the concept.

I dunno, that title seems pretty self-explanatory and a plot summary in its own right.

In a public gazing session, Braco stands on a podium and silently looks at the members of the audience for a period of five to ten minutes.[3][4] There is a ten minute period before the gazing for introduction, and another period afterwards for post-gaze meditation and reflection. It is during the post-gaze that people report life changes, healings and their positive experiences. [10] Supporters say that during the gaze time they can feel tingling, see energy or a golden aura, experience peace or relief from pain.[11] Braco does not consider himself a guru. He has no philosophy or dogma, nor does he want anyone to worship him. [12] In addition, he does not call himself a healer or claim to have spiritual powers,[7] and has not spoken to the press or in public since 2002,[2] saying "it's too big to explain." Participants and event organizers say that his gaze has cured physical diseases such as cancer and respiratory disease. [13] Believers say Braco's physical presence is not necessary, and gazing at a picture or video of him can be sufficient for healing.[14] When not touring, Braco holds gazing sessions at his center in Zagreb, Croatia. [15] Braco's Croatian events draw thousands of people, totaling to over two hundred thousand annually.[3][4] He has toured the United States,[6] Australia,[16] Japan, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Israel, and Slovenia,[17] attracting hundreds or thousands.
