Cities of Myth: Crash Course World Mythology #35
Hey there, I'm Mike Rugnetta, this is Crash
Course Mythology, and today we're gonna put on our mythical coats, grab our mythical
hats, hop on a mythical mode of public transportation and get ourselves into the hustle and bustle
of mythical cities. Some of these cities are real, some are fictional,
and some are even metaphorical. But all of them are metropolitain! Come on, Thoth! The Bifrost Bus only runs once an hour! [Intro]
City myths can be tricky. They're not like other mythical places we've
looked at– like gardens, caves, or mountains–because they don't belong to the natural world. They're man made, or sometimes god made. And this means that the stories we tell about
them can be a little different. A lot of the stories we have about cities
are closer to tall tales, which are fun, but they don't meet our criteria for myth, mostly
because they're, well…a little unserious. A good example of a tall tale city is El Dorado,
the city of gold said to exist somewhere in South America, that really tended to be more
of a metaphor for some ultimate prize that one may search for endlessly… but likely
never actually attain. And some urban tales are almost too serious–they're
places that really existed, with archaeological evidence and complicated histories that transcend
the stories we tell about them. Probably the best known of these is Troy,
whose siege is described in the Iliad. The archaeological history of Troy is fascinating,
but I'll leave that for Crashcourse Archaeology. Just kidding. There's no Crashcourse Archeology. [[[Thoth comes on like Indiana Jones.]]] Or maybe we just haven't discovered it yet. Another significant archeological city that
has a mythical story attached to it is Jericho. Jericho is one of the oldest cities in human
history, but is probably best known for the story of its destruction at the hands of Joshua
in the Old Testament. According to the story, the Lord tells Joshua
to march around the city walls for six days with seven priests blowing ram's horns as
they carry the ark of the covenant, a chest that contains the ten commandments. On the seventh day, following the Lord's
instructions, Joshua has the army march around the city seven times and on the seventh circuit
he has the trumpets sound and the army shout its war cry. According to the book of Joshua, chapter 6,
verse 20: "When the trumpets sounded, the army shouted,
and at the sound of the trumpet, when the men gave a loud shout, the wall collapsed;
so everyone charged straight in, and they took the city." It's a great story, but archaeologists are
still arguing over whether or not a walled city even existed at the time of Joshua. And even if it did exist, trumpets probably
didn't bring it down. Looking at things etiologically, as we sometimes
do, is fun, but it isn't ALWAYS possible to reconcile myths and historical remains. This is especially true of living cities,
which have to go about their business while also existing as a repository of stories about
them. Let's start with a holy site mentioned in
the Bible, but still standing today, a holy site common to all three Abrahamic religions:
Jerusalem. It might be an understatement to say that
Jerusalem has been the subject of many stories. And the imagery used to describe Jerusalem
changes dramatically depending upon who's doing the describing and when. Sometimes the city is beautiful, sometimes
ugly. Sometimes Jerusalem is personified as a not
especially reputable mythic woman. This is particularly true during the Babylonian
captivity, a time in the 6th century BCE when the babylonian emperor Nebuchadnezzar kept
sacking Jerusalem and sending Jews into exile. This all led to some complicated feelings
about Jerusalem. The lamentations of Jeremiah begin: How doth the city sit solitary, that was full
of people! She is become as a widow, that was great among
the nations! She that was a princess among the provinces
is become tributary! (1:1)
Okay. A tributary. Not so bad. But then it gets unpleasant, Jeremiah continues: Jerusalem hath grievously sinned; therefore
she is become as an unclean thing; All that honored her despise her, because
they have seen her nakedness: Yea, she sigheth, and turneth backward. Her filthiness was in her skirts; she remembered
not her latter end; Therefore is she come down wonderfully; she
hath no comforter: (1:8-9) Yeah I mean, Jeremiah's ambivalence is maybe
understandable. It's hard to see your sacred city conquered
and destroyed. Though as for Jeremiah comparing the city
to a lewd and unclean woman, it's not the only time the Bible deploys the female image
unfairly. But maybe we can read it as a lamentation
for a city that was supposed to nurture him but is now taunting him and other Jews by
harboring their conquerors. The Jews eventually go back and rebuild Jerusalem
so hopefully some of these feelings abate. In the New Testament, Jerusalem is described
as a woman again, but this woman is more… well, clean. In the Book of Revelation, John invents an
idealized Jerusalem, a New Jerusalem intended as a new spiritual home. In chapter 12 he says: And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem,
coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. (Rev 21:2)
So which is it? Bride or harlot covered in filth? … both? Some cities in the Bible are often classed
as places of sin — Sodom and Gomorrah being the most obvious example — but let's not
forget: cities also provide opportunities for humankind to unite. For the early Christians, the ideal city wasn't
Jerusalem, but Rome. We haven't talked a great deal about Roman
mythology in this series, largely because it draws heavily on Greek sources, but Romans
did create their own mythological history, particularly for their city. We're going to look at two important myths
surrounding the founding of Rome, involving, you might be shocked to learn: families and
violence. One story of the foundation of Rome comes
from Virgil's epic poem, The Aeneid. This is the story of the Trojan hero, Aeneas,
who escapes the sack of Troy with his aged father, his young son, and statues of his
household gods. Eventually he makes his way to Italy where
he and his group of Trojans settle. There, Aeneas marries Lavinia, the daughter
of the king of Latium. Anchises, Aeneas's dad, dies during the
journey, but in book six of the Aeneid, Aeneas goes to the underworld and his father explains
to him the future history of Rome. Anchises mentions a future descendant called
Romulus: "Of him, my son,
Great Rome shall rise, and, favored of his star,
Have power world-wide, and men of godlike mind. She clasps her seven hills in single wall,
Proud mother of the brave" That's right, it's not Aeneas who founds
Rome. It's his son who settles at Alba Longa,
and a later descendant–Romulus–who builds the city of seven hills. But hold the mythical phone for just a moment…
who is this "Romulus"? The story of Romulus and his twin brother
Remus begins in Alba Longa where a woman named Rhea Silvia lives. Unfortunately for Rhea, Mars, the god of war,
is obsessed with her. And after cornering her in a sacred grove
he "seduces" her — which, I mean, let's be real, probably he rapes her. Now pregnant, Rhea goes to her uncle, King
Amulius, for help. But Amulius is furious. Instead of helping his niece, he imprisons
her. When she finally gives birth, he orders her
twin sons to be left to die on the bank of the Tiber river. Abandoned, the twins are suckled by a gentle
she-wolf until they're found by a shepherd named Faustulus who raises them. Probably because of their early troubled life–oh
but also because they were sort of raised by a wolf?–the boys turn to crime, eventually
stealing some of Amulius's sheep. Remus is captured and taken before Amulius
for trial. At this point, Faustulus reveals to Romulus
the brothers' true identities. Romulus, in good criminal-hero fashion, sets
off for Alba Longa to get revenge on his great-uncle the king. Romulus kills Amulius and rescues Remus. He gives the vacant throne to Amulius's
grandfather Numitor and then the twins go off to found their own city, which brings
us to the Thoughtbubble. Romulus and Remus decide where they were abandoned,
on the banks of the Tiber, would be a great place for a new city, but they can't agree
on the exact location. Romulus receives a sign from the gods telling
him to choose the Palatine hill as the site, so he sets out to mark the boundaries by digging
a ditch. Remus sets up camp opposite him on the Aventine
hill. Remus, the more headstrong of the two brothers,
jumps over the ditch to show Romulus that it's not exactly invasion proof. Romulus, seeing this as sacrilege, kills his
brother and becomes the sole ruler of the new city. That's why it's called "Rome" and
not "Reem" and I think we're all thankful for that. Imagine being a REEMAN instead of a ROMAN. BUGH. So Romulus has a spot for his city and no
rival twin, but he still has one big problem: not enough people. So he puts out the word that the hill will
be a refuge for the criminals and runaways of Italy. And that's exactly who shows up. Roman historian Livy calls them "a miscellaneous
rabble, without distinction of bond or free." But that rabble is almost entirely male, and
in order to populate the city, Romulus and the city leaders invite visitors from neighboring
cities to celebrate a harvest festival with them. After the visitors arrive, at a pre-arranged
signal, the Romans seize all the young women. And grow the Roman population through … mass
rape. BUGH
Thanks Thoughtbubble. These stories, like the ones in the Bible,
remind us how easily myths can gloss over or sometimes even glamorize terribly violent
actions. The founding and conquering and defending
of cities can get really ugly. Some myths reflect this, others choose to
pretty up their origin stories with magic and stuff. The story of Rome's founding highlights
some of the complexity to be found in mythical cities. Many cities have origin stories, some more
historically grounded than others. When we're dealing with actual cities, that
have archaeological and written histories, we often find that the myths surrounding the
city jibe with that history. Jericho was besieged and conquered at some
point, though it's unlikely that trumpet blasts were responsible. Rome, built on the Palatine, and became the
seat of one of the most expansive empires in the world. One empire that relied on cunning and violence,
characteristics that we might easily ascribe to its pro-wolf, pro-rape, pro-conquest, brother-murderer
of a founder. Cities are ambivalent, morally ambiguous places. Kind of like everywhere else people live. And with that, we've reached the border
of our final mythical place. Next episode, we move on to the first examination
of mythical beasts. Thanks for watching, I'll see you next time.

But I hoped there might be room for a book that hovers unexpectedly somewhere between autobiography and biography, and tries to see how much what I say about Greene may really be about me, or vice versa; and a book that cuts back and forth between fairly quiet and private introspection and scenes of tumult in the world which is just the back-and-forth I see and love in Greene.

As the world hunkers down to weather the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), work is shifting gears as well. In many industries, working from home (WFH) is going mainstream. It's a smart way for companies to limit the potential exposure to the virus and keep employees safer while at the same time remaining productive.
Working from home is not a new concept. Most of us in the tech industry have worked from home occasionally, but it is uncharted territory when the entire company is working remotely. This poses several challenges and opportunities - and there is a lot to determine in setting up the right systems for company-wide WFH scenarios. At Earnin, we approached this as a learning exercise before we implemented it on a broad scale. For the week before implementation, we asked several teams to work remotely for a test phase. We collected data during this test, helping us see what worked and what didn't. Through this process of 'dry runs' we developed a set of best practices which we've implemented in the past week to generally positive results. While we're still refining and improving those best practices, I wanted to share what we've learned in hopes that it will help more companies who find themselves WFH in new ways.
Working remotely has its benefits - it allows people to focus on individual deliverables and often provides the time and space for people to concentrate on difficult or intense tasks. Modern open-office layouts have stripped workers of quiet spaces, and WFH can be a refreshing break from the buzz of the workplace.
However, WFH makes a lot of things more challenging, especially communications. Remote teams often miss out when it comes to the critical conversations and relationship building that are so important to team cohesion. While video conferencing and collaboration technology do bring teams together, remote work makes it harder to read body language, hear what people are saying, read in-room dynamics, ask follow up or side questions, or drop by and quickly sync with a coworker at their desk. It is even more difficult to conduct a brainstorming session when everyone is on a phone or logged in via video.
The good news is that most people save a significant amount of time by not commuting. In the past week our team members have used the time they would normally spend commuting to talk and message with their colleagues more, which has helped overcome those communications challenges.
Below are some of the best practices we have developed for remote teams at Earnin. We have segmented them into company-level, team-level and individual-level tips. These are not hard and fast rules, and I expect they will evolve and change over time. Since we are an approximately 300-person startup, these suggestions may work best for startups, but there should be some things that work for departments in a larger organization as well.
For the Company:
For Teams:
For Individuals:
"Am I as productive remotely as I am in the office?" If not, figure out why and explore ways to improve.
"Are all critical communications done?" If not, finish up before you log off.
Over the coming days, many of us will find ourselves navigating new WFH situations. By ensuring that efficiency and communications remain high at the company, team and individual levels, remote work forces can be as productive, if not more so, than traditional work forces.

SIKESTON, MO (KFVS) - A Sikeston woman faces a charge of involuntary manslaughter after allegedly hitting a bicyclist with her car.
According to Sergeant Jon Broom with the Sikeston Department of Public Safety, officers responded to the 1300 block of William Street around 1:45 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 26.
Investigators learned that Alonda Harris, 27, was driving east on William, approaching Malcolm Street, when she saw a bicycle ridden by Donnell Johnson, 56, of Sikeston, riding westbound in her lane.
Harris told officers she swerved into the westbound lane because she thought he would stay in that lane. But, Johnson swerved into her lane and she hit him head on, according to Broom.
During an interview, detectives learned that Harris had been smoking synthetic marijuana before the crash.
Harris is being held on $10,000 cash or surety bond.

All streets are now open to vehicle traffic in Elkhart's River District, including Jackson Boulevard, Elkhart Avenue, as well as secondary streets.
With road construction complete for 2018, crews are now focused on the installation of additional lighting along Jackson Boulevard, according to a news release from Elkhart Mahyor Tim Neese.
Crews will also be working on sidewalks, brick pavers, and adding other landscaping elements to the trees that were planted earlier this year.
Other winter work will include utility connections to the Elkhart Health and Aquatics center and installation of underground facilities for Indiana Michigan Power and Frontier Communications.
As Street Department crews and residents adjust to the reconfiguration of Jackson Boulevard, on-street parking is currently limited to the hours of 6 a.m. to midnight.
The transformation of the Elkhart River District will continue in 2019.
Residents should anticipate reconstruction of the remaining section of Jackson Boulevard, from Junior Achievement Drive to Prairie/Johnson Street starting in March. Streetscape projects along Junior Achievement Drive and Lexington Avenue will also be completed in 2019.

You may or may not have heard of TikTok, but you have most likely heard of Musical.ly.
Many preteens, teens, and – yes, even youth pastors – have made sing-along videos with Musical.ly. One year ago, in August of 2018, it merged into a new app known as TikTok.
Basically, if you are still not sure what we're talking about, TikTok is an iOS and Android social media video app for creating and sharing short lip-sync, comedy, and talent videos.
These can be either videos of 3 to 15 seconds or looping videos of 3 to 60 seconds. It is one of the most popularly downloaded apps in the world right now.
To catch a glimpse of how they see themselves, check out this description from their about page:
TikTok is the world's leading destination for short-form mobile videos. Our mission is to capture and present the world's creativity, knowledge, and moments that matter in everyday life.
TikTok empowers everyone to be a creator directly from their smartphones and is committed to building a community by encouraging users to share their passion and creative expression through their videos.
There are so many social media options, and tons of things happening online, why does this matter to youth ministry?
Almost half, 41%, of all TikTok users are between 16 and 24 years old! Back when it was Musical.ly, the user-base was a bit younger. But now, those users are growing with the app.
Marketing and technology researchers say, "TikTok is a must-explore marketing platform to engage the Gen Z audience, especially the ones who consume and share more videos than other age groups."
If we are going to engage this generation, we need to take note of not just where they hang out or live physically, but also in the world of social media. TikTok is a very popular location for them, as you may already know from having one of them show you a video they saw on this network.
You can use TikTok as inspiration for fun programming ideas.
Most videos on TikTok are 15-seconds long, although they can be as long as one minute. So, if you watch for just a few minutes, you can get lots of ideas from fun lip-syncing options to simply funny videos.
You might share one with students to start a conversation or ask what some of their favorite videos are. One youth pastor started researching this and found out that one of his students already has over three million followers!
That's part of the brilliance of this platform. Because the videos are short and the platform is relatively new, it is easier right now to go viral (over 1 million views) on TikTok more than almost any other platform. You might want to check it out and ask around.
If you have a student with a large following, they could potentially be a great person to help make video content for your ministry. They could also give you tips about how to become a content creator on TikTok.
As much as TikTok is used for entertainment, there is also content that is truly inspirational and motivational in very bite-sized pieces.
@findthemap has 1.2 million followers, and its content has been viewed 39.7 million times. One of their top videos shows them handing out pizzas to homeless people with cash and gift cards inside. This would be a great teaching illustration for random acts of kindness or putting love into action.
There are youth pastors who are sharing short, 15 – 60-second words of encouragement, challenge, or mini-teachings using TikTok.
Grayson Bearden is doing so and has 326,000 followers and over 4.6 million likes.
Youth ministries have even created accounts to share short highlights from summer camp videos to fun and serious moments in their weekly program.
But here is where part of the real value comes in. Most of us don't want one more piece of content to create or one more video to shoot. However, most of us would love a larger audience and/or increased engagement.
Brock Johnson shares some tips in his 13-minute podcast episode on TikTok. He points out that it is relatively easy to go viral on TikTok without a lot of followers or content. And, since your account can be linked to other social accounts like Instagram and YouTube, you can grow your follower base on those social media channels from those who follow you on TikTok and then check out the links to see more of your content!
If you need a step-by-step guide to TikTok, WikiHow has several options, including one called: "How to Become Popular on TikTok."
We also need to familiarize ourselves about TikTok because of some of the problems or dangers with the app and its creators.
In February of this year, the Washington Post reported:
Federal regulators fined social media app Musical.ly — now known as TikTok — $5.7 million for illegally collecting the names, email addresses, pictures and locations of kids under age 13, a record penalty for violations of the nation's child privacy law.
The app failed to seek parental consent before collecting data at a time when so many users were under thirteen.
According to TikTok, that is no longer happening.
This is just one example of why we need to make sure parents are aware of these apps and the personal information their children may be sharing – without even giving it a thought.
Another observation is the amount of time that can be lost by watching a large amount of these short-form videos.
As we work with students, we need to help them understand responsible use and appropriate time management when it comes to these digital resources.
Whether you want to get the word out about your ministry, grow your followers, or just warn parents about what is going on with the apps their kids are using, you would be a wise youth pastor to know a little more about TikTok.

Scott Walker gets very little money from the little people. (Capital Times, 7/22/2014)
Where it counts, people. One area in which Burke clearly triumphed over Walker was in the share of her money coming from inside Wisconsin. While the majority of Walker's funds came from donors in other states, more than 70 percent of Burke's campaign dollars were given by Wisconsinites.

Kenya's online books platform, eKitabu, announced partnerships with the French Embassy, Moran Publishers, Oxford University Press and Education Development Trust at its Digital Essay Competition, as it seeks to broaden its digital books portfolio.
The deal with Moran Publishers and Oxford University Press will increase the firm's digital library, which comprises of more than 450,000 titles. The deal will also finance new and existing projects handled by eKitabu.
The firm, which is East Africa's first ebook store, started a sign language project in which story books are made into videos narrated in sign language. The product is made available to deaf students across Kenya. Chief Executive and co-founder of eKitabu, Will Clurman said "the 146.3 percent increase in submissions comes from collaboration with teachers and partners. In essays this year, we see students from mainstream and special needs schools envisioning how they can use ICT to help reach the goal of inclusive and quality education for all".
The company revealed it will seek more partnerships with stakeholders in Kenya's education sector in order to make it possible for teachers to access and use their digitised literature.
The online books platform which was founded in 2012, operates in 14 African countries. Since then, eKitabu has partnered with more than 1,500 schools in the countries to access its books.

Parent Resources
Parent/Guardian involvement is essential to the success of students. For any educational system to run efficiently, and provide effective learning, all stakeholders must be invested and this includes parents/guardians. In a brick and mortar building, parents are charged with making sure that students are in attendance on a regular basis. In a virtual setting, this responsibility is just as important, if not more.
Attendance, in a virtual environment, can be tracked based on time-stamped login information, completion of various assignments and activities, and communication with the teacher through email and messaging. When lessons are delivered online, students are still expected to be in attendance and engaged with learning activities.
Stafford MSD appreciates the continued support of our parents and guardians in ensuring the success of our students. The resources provided here can aide in the process of continuous, ongoing learning outside of the classroom.
