Odin is a widely revered god in Germanic mythology. In Norse mythology, from which stems most surviving information about the god, Odin is associated with wisdom, healing, death, royalty, the gallows, knowledge, war, battle, victory, sorcery, poetry, frenzy, and the runic alphabet, and is the husband of the goddess Frigg. In wider Germanic mythology and paganism, the god was known in Old English as Woden, in Old Saxon as Wodan, and in Old High German as Wuotan.
Odin is a prominently mentioned god throughout the recorded history of the Germanic peoples, from the Roman occupation of regions of Germania through the tribal expansions of the Migration Period and the Viking Age. In the modern period, Odin continued to be acknowledged in the rural folklore of Germanic Europe. References to Odin appear in place names throughout regions historically inhabited by the ancient Germanic peoples, and the day of the week Wednesday bears his name in many Germanic languages, including English.
In Old Norse texts, Odin is depicted as one-eyed and long-bearded, frequently wielding a spear named Gungnir, and wearing a cloak and a broad hat. He is often accompanied by his animal companions and familiars-the wolves Geri and Freki and the ravens Huginn and Muninn, who bring him information from all over Midgard-and rides the flying, eight-legged steed Sleipnir across the sky and into the underworld. Odin is the son of Bestla and Borr and has two brothers, Vili and Vé. Odin is attested as having many sons, most famously the gods Thor (with Jörđ) and Baldr (with Frigg), and is known by hundreds of names.

One.
Dave responded:
One. Odin sacrificed one eye at Mimir's Well in order to gain knowledge of all things, past, present, and future. But gouging out his own eye for a horn full of water from the well of knowledge was just one of Odin's sacrifices. Odin also threw himself on his own spear and hanged himself for 9 days from the Tree of Life to gain knowledge of other worlds. So one eyed or not, Odin the All-Father knew everything and could see everything.

• Tenor Manuel Garcia could be a very harsh teacher of singers. Often, the sound of crying could be heard at his house. People who asked the neighbors what was happening were told, "Oh, that's nothing. It's only Mr. Garcia teaching his pupils how to sing." He could also be more than harsh when teaching his own children. He once ordered his contralto daughter, Maria Felicita Malibran, whose voice extended into the soprano range, to learn an entirely new role in a few days. She protested because of the shortness of time, so he threatened to kill her if she did not learn the role. She learned the role. Despite this harsh treatment, she loved her father. Near the end of his career, they sang together - he as Otello and she as Desdemona. After a curtain call, her face appeared as dark as her father's. While the curtain was down, she had kissed his sooty face.
• Danny O'Mara, a baritone, once sang a role in Fidelio that required his character to be in prison. His family frequently saw him play the role, and on a crowded bus returning home after a performance, one of his children complained loudly, "Why is it, every time we see Daddy, he's always in prison?"
Food
• During a visit to his native Naples, Enrico Caruso invited a number of friends and acquaintances to lunch at a restaurant. Of course, these friends and acquaintances wanted to hear him sing, and he willingly sang both operatic arias and Neapolitan songs. One particular part of his audience gratified him, as he explained to his friend Salvatore Cortesi: "The cook's praise is the praise I love and respect most of all. Women will even weep as I sing, but they largely do that because it is Caruso that sings. But if I can draw the man who cooks my macaroni from his fire and if I can make him forget that there is such a thing as food in the world, then I know that I am touching the heights of my art."
• A man named Bertani once wrote Giuseppe Verdi a letter in which he complained that Verdi's opera Aida lacked quality, despite his having heard it twice. In the letter, he enclosed a statement of the costs of hearing the opera, including the price of his opera tickets, the cost of the railroad tickets, and the cost of his evening meals after hearing the opera. Finally, he asked Verdi to reimburse his expenses. Verdi agreed, but he first extracted the promise that the man would never attend one of his operas again. In addition, he refused to pay for the cost of the evening meals, saying, "He could have perfectly well eaten at home."
• Salvatore Baccaloni, a comedian in basso roles, was a huge man, weighing in at 325 pounds. During the mid-1950s, he confessed that the saddest day of his life was when his doctor placed him on a diet that stressed consumption of fruits and vegetables. What was the happiest day of his life? When he went off the diet. On that day, he enjoyed himself by consuming four pizzas, a meal with three kinds of meat, and one-half pound of a dessert cheese - Italian, of course.
• Sir Rudolf Bing took steps to integrate the Metropolitan Opera, hiring such African-American divas as Leontyne Price. Whenever the Met toured, he set the policy that the Met would not stay at segregated hotels or perform in front of segregated audiences. Once, before the Met left to perform in Atlanta, Georgia, Ms. Price remarked to him, "I am sure that you will find room for the horse and me." In Atlanta, Sir Rudolf took her to dinner in the hotel. He says, "As we walked in, there was a sudden hush, which I greatly enjoyed."
• Robert Merrill once worked with soprano Eileen Farrell, who had large breasts. During a rehearsal of one scene of Forza, Mr. Merrill's character was dying and over him was Ms. Farrell, whose breasts kept dipping before his face. Finally, Mr. Merrill asked her if she had "a cookie to go with the milk." A good sport, Ms. Farrell brought him a cookie on opening night.
• Frances Alda and Kirsten Flagstad once dined together at the Ritz-Carlton, and the waiter asked Ms. Alda if she wanted to order Melba toast. This was a mistake, for Ms. Alda and Nellie Melba, after whom Melba toast was named, had been great rivals as opera singers. Ms. Alda roared at the waiter, "Melba toast! No! Bring Alda toast!"
• Operatic tenor Jan Kiepura strongly preferred European sweet butter to American salted butter. At a restaurant, Mr. Kiepura pointed to some American salted butter and asked a server, "What is that?" Of course, the server replied, "That is butter, sir." Mr. Kiepura then said venomously, "In Poland, we give such butter to pigs!"
• Operatic tenor Leo Slezak was a big man - six-foot-four and almost 300 pounds. His friends used to joke that it was cheaper to take a vacation trip to Cairo than to treat him to a meal. Whenever several citizens from Brünn showed up in Cairo, Mr. Slezak's friends joked that he must be singing in Brünn.
Saw the kind words from Deborah today. Thanks to her. Thanks to you too, Marty. It always amazes me that you post the things I send. It's astounding to hear that someone appreciates the things I share. I'm positively glowing right now.

Beyoncé's history-making portrait from American Vogue will soon be displayed in the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery. The image is one of several taken by then-23-year-old photographer Tyler Mitchell for Vogue's September 2018 issue.
Before Mitchell, Vogue had never hired a black photographer to shoot a cover in its 126-year history. Mitchell announced the acquisition Tuesday on Twitter.
"A year ago today we broke the flood gates open," he tweeted. "Now I'm glad to share this picture is being acquired into the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery's permanent collection."
Beyoncé is wearing a Valentino dress and Philip Treacy hat in the photo.
Jimmy Kimmel and Norman Lear are getting more vintage sitcoms back on their feet. The Jimmy Kimmel Live! host confirmed that he's producing two more Live In Front Of A Studio Audience specials, following up this spring's Emmy-nominated All In The Family/The Jeffersons double header. A holiday-themed installment will air this December (per The Hollywood Reporter), with a third Live In Front Of A Studio Audience to come in May 2020-though Kimmel can't yet go into detail about which series from the Lear library will be featured.
"I want to, but I can't," Kimmel said during his session at the Television Critics Assocation summer press tour. "There are some loose ends we haven't tied up yet."
Beyond the realm of Live In Front Of A Studio Audience, Kimmel's talk with the television press skewed political, with reporters seeking the outspoken host's thoughts on this past weekend's mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton. "I think now there is an expectation that late-night talk shows will address these horrible things," Kimmel said. "I wish we didn't have to, but nobody's doing anything about it, at all." While expressing concern that politicians don't seem to care what their constituents think anymore, he denied that he had any plans to become one of those politicians himself. "I was the coach of my kids' basketball team, and I couldn't handle that," he said. "My response was always 'Do you want to coach this team?' I don't think I have the patience for it."
Aretha Franklin's oldest son wants his brother to not have control of the singer's estate, saying his sibling can't even support himself.
According to court documents obtained by The Blast, Aretha's son, Clarence Franklin, is responding to his brother Kecalf Franklin's recent moves to gain power over the estate. A guardian and trustee in charge of Clarence filed the documents on his behalf. Clarence has unspecified special needs which require a guardian.
In the docs, Clarence says the current head of estate, Sabrina Owens, has done great work. He says she "is a suitable person to continue to act as Personal Representative and has done an excellent job as Personal Representative."
Clarence says she should NOT be removed nor should Kecalf be added as co-representative. He says his brother has "neither the education nor experience to act appropriately and properly and in the best interests of all the interested parties to administer this complex estate."
Earlier this year, Kecalf went to court to file docs seeking to take complete control of Aretha's estate and wants Owens removed ASAP.
In the first major production company acquisition for Fox Entertainment since the network split with longtime studio partner 20th Century Fox TV after the Disney-Fox deal, the newly independent company has acquired Bento Box Entertainment, the animation house behind Fox's Emmy-winning series Bob's Burgers and the upcoming Duncanville and The Great North.
After the acquisition, Bento Box will operate as a stand-alone entity under the Fox Entertainment banner and produce content for all platforms. Its leadership team will remain in place, including co-founders Scott Greenberg (CEO) and Joel Kuwahara (President of Production), and senior executives Brett Coker (COO), Ben Jones (Creative Director), Craig Hartin (GM of Bento Box Atlanta), Janelle Momary (Supervising Producer) and Andi Raab (Supervising Producer).
"As we grow Fox for the next generation, it only makes sense we would expand our animation capabilities by bringing on board the best in the business: Bento Box.," Fox Entertainment CEO Charlie Collier said. "The Bento-Fox combination brings Fox front-door access to the next wave of the genre's creative leaders, while still maintaining Bento Box's focus on all that makes them a terrific partner for outside producers."
The Bento Box acquisition is part of Fox Entertainment's strategy to build in-house capabilities after losing 20th TV. In February, the company launched SideCar, a content development accelerator headed by Gail Berman, to incubate scripted and unscripted programming for both Fox and third-party platforms. In May, Fox Entertainment announced it is ramping up its unscripted programming capabilities by formally bringing unscripted production in-house with the new unit Fox Alternative Entertainment, including Season Two of The Masked Singer. Sutikki, and its related assets, are not part of the acquisition.
Fears are rising that stray cats are being deliberately poisoned on Japan's famed "cat island" after an unusually sharp decline in the feline population.
The number of cats on the remote Umashima island, some six miles from the southern city of Kitakyushu, has mysteriously fallen from 90 in 2014 to around 30 this year.
The cause of their disappearance is unknown but eyewitness reports pointed to suspicious-looking food that was left out for the animals, including cuts of fish laced with a blue-coloured substance, reported the Mainichi Shimbun.
In October 2018 and in May 2019, fish covered with what appeared to be a pharmaceutical product was found scattered in multiple locations on the island, reported the paper.
The cats have become a tourist draw to the sparsely populated island in recent years but in 2014, 79 out of 90 of the animals were neutered after complaints about the smell and nuisance of the growing population.
When you look up at the moon, there may now be a few thousand water bears looking back at you.
The Israeli spacecraft Beresheet crashed into the moon during a failed landing attempt on April 11. In doing so, it may have strewn the lunar surface with thousands of dehydrated tardigrades, Wired reported yesterday (Aug. 5).
Beresheet was a robotic lander. Though it didn't transport astronauts, it carried human DNA samples, along with the aforementioned tardigrades and 30 million very small digitized pages of information about human society and culture. However, it's unknown if the archive - and the water bears - survived the explosive impact when Beresheet crashed, according to Wired.
The tardigrades and the human DNA were late additions to the mission, added just a few weeks before Beresheet launched on Feb. 21. Much like Cretaceous fossils locked in amber, the DNA samples and tardigrades were sealed in a resin layer protecting the DVD-size lunar library, while thousands more tardigrades were poured onto the sticky tape that held the archive in place, Wired reported.
But why send tardigrades to the moon? Tardigrades, also known as moss piglets, are microscopic creatures measuring between 0.002 and 0.05 inches (0.05 to 1.2 millimeters) long. They have endearingly tubby bodies and eight legs tipped with tiny "hands"; but tardigrades are just as well-known for their near-indestructibility as they are for their unbearable cuteness.
Thousands are flocking to see a Buddhist temple in central Thailand exposed after drought drove water levels to record lows in a dam reservoir where it had been submerged.
As the reservoir reaches less than 3% of capacity, the remains of Wat Nong Bua Yai, a modern temple submerged during construction of the dam 20 years ago, have became visible in the middle of dry ground.
Some Buddhist monks were among the hundreds of people who walked through broken temple structures on cracked earth littered with dead fish last week to pay respects to a headless 4-metre (13-feet) -tall Buddha statue, adorning it with flowers.
"The temple is normally covered by water. In the rainy season you don't see anything," said one of the visitors, Somchai Ornchawiang, a 67-year-old retired teacher.
The dam, with capacity of 960 million cubic meters, normally irrigates more than 1.3 million acres (526,000 hectares) of farmland in four provinces, but drought has cut that to just 3,000 acres (1,214 hectares) in the single province of Lopburi.
A Florida woman says lightning destroyed her septic tank and caused a toilet in her house to explode, according to the Associated Press.
On Sunday, around 1:01 p.m. A-1 Affordable Plumbing Inc. posted photos of the toilet destroyed. AP says Marylou Ward told television station WINK News that the sole toilet in her Port Charlotte home was shattered into hundreds of pieces.
Ward says the explosion was the loudest sound she's ever heard, and that she also smelled smoke. She says a plumber told her lightning hit the methane gas that was built up in the pipes from feces, according to AP.
Ward says she'll have to get the toilet and septic system repaired, but she's thankful no one was injured, according to AP.
A-1 Affordable Plumbing Inc. says the toilet exploded in Ward's master bathroom sending porcelain airborne like a missile (the porcelain penetrated into wall). The company also says they'll be scheduling a camera inspection this week to see how much sanitary pipe needs to be replaced!
