I greatly enjoyed Cadence Weapon, whose album Parallel World won the Polaris Prize in Canada. His politics and insights are spot on and he has a great sense of rhythm and sound structures. Rollie Pemberton had a lot of passion as well as some funny stories and was definitely the highlight of the day on Friday.

Beauty is our weapon against nature; by it we make objects, giving them limit, symmetry, proportion. Beauty halts and freezes the melting flux of nature.

My third entry for round 3 of the Iron Forge. This build started out with the idea for a bow, which I was planning on building a character for. After trying a plethora of different designs, I wasn’t coming up with anything I liked, so I switched to an armory scene and added several other weapons to go with the bow.

“Several officials even suggested that Mr. Biden could return nuclear weapons to Ukraine that were taken from it after the fall of the Soviet Union. That would be an instant and enormous deterrent. But such a step would be complicated and have serious implications.”– New York Times
Ecclesiastes 9:18 “Wisdom is better than weapons of war: but one sinner destroyeth much good.”
The gastraphetes (Ancient Greek γαστραφέτης, lit. 'belly-bow') was a handheld crossbow, used by ancient Greeks. It was described in the first century AD by the Greek author Heron of Alexandria in his work Belopoeica (Ancient Greek Βελοποιικά, 'on catapult-making'). It is believed to have been invented around 400 BC.(Landels, 1978, p. 99-100)
The weapon was powered by a composite bow. It was cocked by resting the stomach in a concavity at the rear of the stock and pressing down with all strength. In this way considerably more energy can be summoned up than by using only one arm of the archer as in the hand-bow.
There are no attestations through pictures or archaeological finds, but the description by Heron is detailed enough to have allowed modern reconstructions to be made.
A larger version of the gastraphetes were the oxybeles, which were used in siege warfare. These were later supplanted by the early ballistae that later also developed into smaller versions supplanting also the gastraphetes.
[edit] In modern culture
Gastraphetes appears in the Square Enix tactical RPG Final Fantasy Tactics. It is mistranslated as Gastrafitis and is the strongest crossbow in the game. It appears in Final Fantasy XII for PS2 once again as the strongest crossbow.
In Microsoft's Age of Mythology, Gastraphetes appear as a unit trainable only by Hades. They wield a crossbow and are very powerful, having few weaknesses.
A Gastraphetes also appears in the MMORPG Lineage 2. However, it is not a crossbow in the game. [from wikipedia].
