Myths and Legends of the World

We are in fall with great weather and crazy people in politic. Here is a something special  for you. Notus   Notus (Greek Νότος, Nótos) is the Greek God of the South Wind. Notus' winds are heavy and filled with moisture, creating fog and mists. He was associated with the desiccating hot wind of the rise of Sirius after midsummer, was thought to bring the storms of late summer and autumn, and was feared as a destroyer of crops. His Roman counterpart is Auster. Notus is the son of Eos (Dawn) and Astraeus. He is the South Wind, one of the four Anemoi.

Today is World AIDS Day. World AIDS Day is held on the first of December every year and is an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV/AIDS, show their support for people living with HIV and to commemorate people who have died. World AIDS Day was the first ever global health day and the first one was held in 1988. More than 90,000 people are currently living with HIV in the UK and globally an estimated 33.3 million people have HIV.

World AIDS Day is important as it reminds the...

Sorry that it not about myths but you all need to know what goes on in the Criminal Justice System involving immigrants. Huffington Post LOS ANGELES -- At dawn on July 19, nearly 40 Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Homeland Security Immigration (HSI) agents burst into the home home of Carmen Bonilla, 44. The agents were searching for "Robert" an alleged drug dealer, but ended up terrifying Bonilla and her son Michael, 16, daughter Josefina, 23, daughter-in-law Leticia, 28, and two of her granddaughters.
