It is said that if a birch tree leaves a white mark on your forehead, that you will go mad. Celtic shamans climb birch trees in order to commune with the sky Gods for this reason.

![]() I have seen the Toyota has a higher carrying capacity than just one person if you take the GCVWR. The statement I said to Chuck was a general statement the same as his, ie not all trailer weights are based on one occupant. ![]() What the owners manual proves is how confusing the numbers can be. Check the loading of your vehicle and trailer carefully before starting to drive." WARNING Exceeding any load limit or improperly loading your vehicle and trailer can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed. You can also use it to tow a trailer if you carefully observe the load limits, use the proper equipment, and follow the guidelines in this section. "Your vehicle has been designed primarily to carry passengers and their cargo. Please note that 4 occupants reduces the maximum total trailer weight from 3500 lbs with 1 occupant to 3050 lbs, the additional 450 lbs of the 3 - 150 lb passengers.Ĭhico, ya got any info that refutes the owner's manual? Retraction? No cargo." There may be a little wiggle room between the curb weight + driver + options +. Let's look at page 338 of - 2007 - this on-line manual. I'm with Chuck except I use the 1 ton rule, 1000 lbs for passengers and cargo, 1000 lbs for mountains, wind, etc! You get to tow whatever you'd like and go beyond any limit. I would call the tech help line of the trailer manufacture for this information, as it seems to very by model and model year. You need to find out from the trailer manufacture if there trailer can handle a WDH. The other thing you will need with a heavy popup is a WDH. You will probably want to stay under 3000 lbs, but this is just my opinion as I have not towed in the "real" mountains. Some companies have a percentage per 1000 feet you need to reduce your weight by, but I'm not sure if Honda does. If you are going to be close to your max weight you may want to weigh your van to get a real figure.Īnd now after my rant, If you are going to tow in the "real" mountains you will want to reduce your weight. Do some math and find out how much weight you have to play with between cargo in the van and the trailer. Ylab having said this you need to do a search on this forum and find the GCVWR of the Odyssey. The engineers have put margin in when they calculate the max tow rating, why do you need to but one ton of added margin in. I also don't get why people have to but margin on top of margin. Chuck why do you insist on saying that all tow rating are calculated the same, when time and time again you have been proven wrong. ![]() According to a recent hypothesis advanced by Rudolf Wachter, the first element in the name ( Perso- ( Περσο-) may well reflect a very rare term, attested in the Rig Veda (Sanskrit parṣa-), and the Avesta, meaning 'sheaf of corn' / 'ear '. The etymology of the word 'Persephone' is obscure. The existence of so many different forms shows how difficult it was for the Greeks to pronounce the word in their own language and suggests that the name may have a Pre-Greek origin. ![]() There are also the forms Periphona ( Πηριφόνα) and Phersephassa ( Φερσέφασσα). On 5th century Attic vases one often encounters the form ( Φερρϖφάττα) Plato calls her Pherepapha ( Φερέπαφα) in his Cratylus, "because she is wise and touches that which is in motion". ![]() In other dialects, she was known under variant names: Persephassa ( Περσεφάσσα), Persephatta ( Περσεφάττα), or simply Korē ( Κόρη, "girl, maiden"). The Homeric form of her name is Persephoneia ( Περσεφονεία, Persephoneia). Persephonē ( Greek: Περσεφόνη) is her name in the Ionic Greek of epic literature. In a Linear B Mycenaean Greek inscription on a tablet found at Pylos dated 1400–1200 BC, John Chadwick reconstructed the name of a goddess, *Preswa who could be identified with Perse, daughter of Oceanus and found speculative the further identification with the first element of Persephone. National archaeological museum in Palermo, Italy Name Persephone or "the deceased woman" holding a pomegranate. Myths similar to Persephone's descent and return to earth also appear in the cults of male gods including Attis, Adonis, and Osiris, and in Minoan Crete. She was identified by the Romans as the Italic goddess Libera, who was conflated with Proserpina. In Latin, her name is rendered Proserpina. Her name has numerous historical variants. The city of Epizephyrian Locris, in modern Calabria (southern Italy), was famous for its cult of Persephone, where she is a goddess of marriage and childbirth in this region. In Athens, the mysteries celebrated in the month of Anthesterion were dedicated to her. The origins of her cult are uncertain, but it was based on ancient agrarian cults of agricultural communities. Persephone as a vegetation goddess and her mother Demeter were the central figures of the Eleusinian Mysteries, which promised the initiated a happy afterlife. She may appear as a mystical divinity with a sceptre and a little box, but she was mostly represented in the process of being carried off by Hades. In Classical Greek art, Persephone is invariably portrayed robed, often carrying a sheaf of grain. The myth of her abduction, her sojourn in the underworld, and her temporary return to the surface represents her functions as the embodiment of spring and the personification of vegetation, especially grain crops, which disappear into the earth when sown, sprout from the earth in spring, and are harvested when fully grown. ![]() She became the queen of the underworld after her abduction by and marriage to her uncle Hades, the king of the underworld. In ancient Greek mythology and religion, Persephone ( / p ər ˈ s ɛ f ə n iː/ pər- SEF-ə-nee Greek: Περσεφόνη, romanized: Persephónē), also called Kore or Cora ( / ˈ k ɔːr iː/ KOR-ee Greek: Κόρη, romanized: Kórē, lit.'the maiden'), is the daughter of Zeus and Demeter. 2.

The old school, the houses, shops, and warehouses are haunted, but the most ghostly building is definitely the Goldfield Hotel. The landscape looks a lot like the scenery around nearby Bodie. Go to the Santa Fe Saloon and Casino on N 5th St, have a snack and then venture out among the junk, scrap metal, car wrecks, and rusty metal that crowd the abandoned warehouses in front of the Saloon.

![]() In January 2018, the DEF CON China Beta event was announced. The film follows the four days of the conference, events and people (attendees and staff), and covers history and philosophy behind DEF CON's success and unique experiences. įor DEF CON's 20th Anniversary, a film was commissioned entitled DEFCON: The Documentary. In 2019, an estimated 30,000 people attended DEF CON 27. The event's attendance nearly doubled the second year, and has enjoyed continued success. Though intended to be a one-time event, Moss received overwhelmingly positive feedback from attendees, and decided to host the event for a second year at their urging. The official name of the conference includes a space in-between DEF and CON. Any variation of the spelling, other than "DEF CON", could be considered an infringement of the DEF CON brand. ![]() However, to a lesser extent, CON also stands for convention and DEF is taken from the letters on the number 3 on a telephone keypad, a reference to phreakers. In the movie, Las Vegas was selected as a nuclear target, and since the event was being hosted in Las Vegas, it occurred to Jeff Moss to name the convention DEF CON. Armed Forces defense readiness condition (DEFCON). ![]() The term DEF CON comes from the movie WarGames, referencing the U.S. Hacker friends from far and wide got together and laid the foundation for DEF CON, with roughly 100 people in attendance. Jeff decided to invite all his hacker friends to go to Las Vegas with him and have the party with them instead. However, his friend's father left early, taking his friend along, so Jeff was left alone with the entire party planned. The party was planned for Las Vegas a few days before his friend was to leave the United States, because his father had accepted employment out of the country. History ĭEF CON was founded in 1993, by then 18-year-old Jeff Moss as a farewell party for his friend, a fellow hacker and member of "Platinum Net", a FidoNet protocol based hacking network from Canada. CTF has been emulated at other hacking conferences as well as in academic and military contexts (as red team exercises).įederal law enforcement agents from the FBI, DoD, United States Postal Inspection Service, DHS (via CISA) and other agencies regularly attend DEF CON. Capture the Flag (CTF) is perhaps the best known of these contests and is a hacking competition where teams of hackers attempt to attack and defend computers and networks using software and network structures. Other contests, past and present, include lockpicking, robotics-related contests, art, slogan, coffee wars, scavenger hunt, and Capture the Flag. Contests held during the event are extremely varied and can range from creating the longest Wi-Fi connection to finding the most effective way to cool a beer in the Nevada heat. The event consists of several tracks of speakers about computer- and hacking-related subjects, as well as cyber-security challenges and competitions (known as hacking wargames). The first DEF CON took place in June 1993 and today many attendees at DEF CON include computer security professionals, journalists, lawyers, federal government employees, security researchers, students, and hackers with a general interest in software, computer architecture, hardware modification, conference badges, and anything else that can be "hacked". Through both natural curiosity and fascination turned obsession, DEFCON has perfected their craft in media modifications, establishing their repute as a standalone brand.DEF CON (also written as DEFCON, Defcon or DC) is a hacker convention held annually in Las Vegas, Nevada.
