Greg jumped down into the photo pit, up onto the barrier, removed his shirt and began to swirl the scat-splattered garment dangerously close to a horrified audience.Īs Dillinger completed their set with a savage 43% Burnt, Puciato clearly struggling not to gag on what must have been an overpowering stench of dung in his nostrils, his shirt somehow ended back up onstage, Greg even retrieving it as he exited the stage. It’s at this point that the true magnitude of the situation was brought to light, with members of the crowd screaming and running as if they were extras in a disaster epic watching the world crumble around them. Pulling the bag open and retrieving his feculence from within, Greg smeared the stool from his cheek all the way down his chest and over his pristine white t-shirt. Somehow, though, the bag ended up being thrown back onstage at Dillinger - at which point Puciato upped the stakes even further. ![]() Dillinger started up their next song, and had that have been the end of the entire affair it would have been shocking enough. Holding the bag aloft he told everyone in no uncertain terms: "This is a piece of shit.you're going to see plenty more of it on this stage today, so you’d better get used to it." Then, to the shock of everyone, he proceeded to hurtle the bag of faeces into the crowd. Was this really, really, happening?Īt the song's, climax Puciato addressed the crowd. At first no one knew if what we were seeing was real the distain turned into disbelief at what was playing out. In the middle of Dillinger's set, Puciato began to prepare some toilet roll, pulled down his trousers and, with his arse facing the crowd, started to squeeze a log out and into his now paper-protected hand, before placing it into a plastic bag. Dillinger were mercilessly booed every night by SOAD’s fans, with Greg recently telling Metal Hammer: “We were getting booed so badly we couldn’t even hear our monitors.” It was a war of attrition, and so when TDEP were asked to open the mainstage at Reading and Leeds later that year off the back of that tour, they had preempted the backlash. ![]() Out of the blue, in 2002, they were contacted by System Of A Down’s Daron Malakian and asked to open for his band on their upcoming European tour - a fantastic opportunity for such a tiny outfit, but one that was massively challenging. ![]() A few hardcore fans of weird, underground music were aware of Dillinger, and they had begun to establish something of a cult following, but, really, they were far from a big deal. Original vocalist Dimitri Minakakis had left and TDEP had all but split before he was replaced by Puciato in 2001. Firstly, it’s worth noting exactly where Dillinger were in their career at this point when they set foot onstage at Reading they only had one full-length album to their name, 1999’s genre-defining Calculating Infinity, and were, essentially, a completely underground band.

These structures have earned the Maya their reputation as the great artists of Mesoamerica. The Classic Maya built many of their temples and palaces in a stepped pyramid shape, decorating them with elaborate reliefs and inscriptions. They were thought to serve as mediators between the gods and people on earth, and performed the elaborate religious ceremonies and rituals so important to the Maya culture. At the top of Maya society were the kings, or “kuhul ajaw” (holy lords), who claimed to be related to gods and followed a hereditary succession. The Maya were deeply religious, and worshiped various gods related to nature, including the gods of the sun, the moon, rain and corn. ![]() Though the Maya practiced a primitive type of “slash-and-burn” agriculture, they also displayed evidence of more advanced farming methods, such as irrigation and terracing. Maya cities were surrounded and supported by a large population of farmers. At its peak, the Maya population may have reached 2,000,000 or as many as 10,000,000.Įxcavations of Maya sites have unearthed plazas, palaces, temples and pyramids, as well as courts for playing the famous Maya ball game ulama, all ritually and politically significant to Maya culture. Classic Maya civilization grew to some 40 cities, including Tikal, Uaxactún, Copán, Bonampak, Dos Pilas, Calakmul, Palenque and Río Bec each city held a population of between 5,000 and 50,000 people. 250, was the golden age of the Maya Empire. The Classic Period, which began around A.D. Its size dwarfed the Classic Maya capital of Tikal, and its existence proves that the Maya flourished centuries before the Classic Period.Ĭhichen Itza Mayan Pyramids of the Classic Maya, A.D. The Late Preclassic city of Mirador, in the northern Peten, was one of the greatest cities ever built in the pre-Columbian Americas. In addition to agriculture, the Preclassic Maya also displayed more advanced cultural traits like pyramid-building, city construction and the inscribing of stone monuments. Like other Mesamerican peoples, such as the Zapotec, Totonac, Teotihuacán and Aztec, the Maya derived a number of religious and cultural traits-as well as their number system and their famous calendar-from the Olmec. ![]() The Middle Preclassic Period also saw the rise of the first major Mesoamerican civilization, the Olmecs. During the Middle Preclassic Period, which lasted until about 300 B.C., Maya farmers began to expand their presence both in the highland and lowland regions. The earliest Maya were agricultural, growing crops such as corn (maize), beans, squash and cassava (manioc). The earliest Maya settlements date to around 1800 B.C., or the beginning of what is called the Preclassic or Formative Period. 250 to 900), and built the great stone cities and monuments that have fascinated explorers and scholars of the region to this day. Most famously, the Maya of the southern lowland region reached their peak during the Classic Period of Maya civilization (A.D. ![]() Within that expanse, the Maya lived in three separate sub-areas with distinct environmental and cultural differences: the northern Maya lowlands on the Yucatan Peninsula the southern lowlands in the Peten district of northern Guatemala and adjacent portions of Mexico, Belize and western Honduras and the southern Maya highlands, in the mountainous region of southern Guatemala. In modern-day Mexico and Central America, around 5 million people speak some 70 Maya languages most of them are bilingual in Spanish. This concentration showed that the Maya remained relatively secure from invasion by other Mesoamerican peoples.ĭid you know? Among the earliest Maya a single language existed, but by the Preclassic Period a great linguistic diversity developed among the various Maya peoples. Unlike other scattered Indigenous populations of Mesoamerica, the Maya were centered in one geographical block covering all of the Yucatan Peninsula and modern-day Guatemala Belize and parts of the Mexican states of Tabasco and Chiapas and the western part of Honduras and El Salvador. ![]() Finally, we're told that voice and data capacity is expected to increase significantly as Sprint leverages its spectrum holdings in 800MHz, 1.9GHz, and - through its relationship with Clearwire - 2.5GHz. Furthermore, Sprint will be adding international push-to-talk (alongside "additional capabilities") in early 2012, and users should see a marked improvement in in-building coverage. The Kyocera DuraMax and DuraCore will be joined by an unannounced Motorola smartphone, all of which should be rugged enough to handle the expected field work. The company's CDMA-based Direct Connect alternative is officially slated to launch this winter, with those who buy in treated to triple the square miles of the company's current push-to-talk coverage area, broadband capabilities and a smattering of new devices. The outfit's legacy iDEN network is still kicking around (and in turn, eating up valuable resources to run it), and while we're told that those push-to-talk users are some of the most loyal, it looks as if 2012 will be the year they're forced to try something new. It means engineers can make digital copies of the glove, introduce small changes and print test versions to cater to Ballard's feedback.We're guessing that this isn't the riveting Q4 announcement that Dan Hesse promised us last week at Sprint's Kansas headquarters, but it's a shock to the system nonetheless. ![]() Now they're designed in software and printed in 3D, making the structure of the gloves stronger.

"It's actually huge," says Ballard, who has now made six changes to how the gloves fit her hands. ![]() In the hunt for an elusive Paralympic gold medal, Ballard, 41, is working with engineers from the AIS to improve her racing gloves.ĭo you have a story idea about women in sport?Įmail us gloves are crucial to Ballard's performance and are used to push, and to generate power and speed. In recognition of her enduring success and advocacy for the Paralympic movement, the world-class wheelchair racer was recently appointed Australia's co-captain for Paris 2024. Remarkably, Angie Ballard is attempting to qualify for her seventh Paralympics. There are many Australian para-athletes harnessing technology and tweaking equipment to eke out their very best. "If you're not using the right technology, it can be detrimental to your career and your performance." Walsh says having the best technology can be the difference between reaching the podium or missing out altogether, especially in the Paralympic world. "(My first blade was) set up so I could get out there and be active, and these days we spend hours and hours trying to set the blade up." "The technology has changed so much since I got my first blade all those years ago," Walsh says. She got her first blade at age 10 which, at the time, was a huge improvement on her so-called 'day leg' which failed to absorb shock while running. "So we're actually seeing improved heights and different biomechanical characteristics from this new prosthetic foot." Evolution of Para-athlete technologyīorn with a condition that meant she only had a small foot and no fibula, Walsh's foot was amputated when she was 18 months old.

![]() But at last Phoebus came, and prevented it, as it was about to bite, and turned the serpent’s gaping jaws to stone, and froze the mouth, wide open, as it was. Here, as the head lay exposed on the alien sand, its moist hair dripping brine, a fierce snake attacked it. And now, carried onward to the sea, they left their native river-mouth and reached the shores of Lesbos, at Methymna. The poet’s limbs were strewn in different places: the head and the lyre you, Hebrus, received, and (a miracle!) floating in midstream, the lyre lamented mournfully mournfully the lifeless tongue murmured mournfully the banks echoed in reply. They say the rivers, also, were swollen with their own tears, and the naiads and dryads, with dishevelled hair, put on sombre clothes. The birds, lamenting, cried for you, Orpheus the crowd of wild creatures the hard flints the trees that often gathered to your song, shedding their leaves, mourned you with bared crowns. As he stretched out his hands, speaking ineffectually for the first time ever, not affecting them in any way with his voice, the impious ones murdered him: and the spirit, breathed out through that mouth to which stones listened, and which was understood by the senses of wild creatures – O, God! – vanished down the wind. ![]() After catching these up, and ripping apart the oxen, that threatened them with their horns, the fierce women rushed back to kill the poet. Hoes, heavy mattocks, and long rakes lay scattered through the empty fields. And so that their madness did not lack true weapons, by chance, oxen were turning the soil under the ploughshare, and, not far away from them, brawny farm workers were digging the solid earth, sweating hard to prepare it for use, who fled when they saw the throng, leaving their work tools behind. Some threw clods of earth, some branches torn from the trees, and others flints. They rushed at the poet, and hurled their green-leaved thyrsi, made for a different use. Then they set their bloody hands on Orpheus, and gathered, like birds that spy the owl, the bird of night, wandering in the daylight, or as in the amphitheatre, on the morning of the staged events, on either side, a doomed stag, in the arena, is prey to the hounds. Then, finally, the stones grew red, with the blood of the poet, to whom they were deaf.įirst, the innumerable birds, the snakes, and the procession of wild animals, still entranced by the voice of the singer, a mark of Orpheus’s triumph, were torn apart by the Maenads. All their missiles would have been frustrated by his song, but the huge clamour of the Berecyntian flutes of broken horn, the drums, and the breast-beating and howls of the Bacchantes, drowned the sound of the lyre. But in fact the mindless attack mounted, without restraint, and mad fury ruled. The next missile was a stone, that, thrown through the air, was itself overpowered by the harmony of voice and lyre, and fell at his feet, as though it were begging forgiveness for its mad audacity. Tipped with leaves, it marked him, without wounding. One of them, her hair scattered to the light breeze, called: ‘Behold, behold, this is the one who scorns us!’ and hurled her spear at the face of Apollo’s poet, as he was singing. While the poet of Thrace, with songs like these, drew to himself the trees, the souls of wild beasts, and the stones that followed him, see, how the frenzied Ciconian women, their breasts covered with animal skins, spy Orpheus from a hilltop, as he matches songs to the sounding strings.
