Reborn son of a Hawk AU

My first attempt at making an AU. Please be gentle.

….

Tucker is the reincarnation of Dullaman, the son of Chay-Ara and Bashari better known by their current incarnations Shayera “Hawkgirl” Hol and John “Green Lantern” Stewart.

Chay-Ara, Khufu and Bashari where in a triad and Khufu named Dullaman his successor.

Sam, Danny and Valerie’s previous incarnations were lovers of Dullaman

Sam’s past incarnation was Semat, a noble betrothed to Dullaman.

Danny’s past incarnation was Pakhom, a priest of Osiris and childhood friend of Dullaman.

Valerie’s past incarnation was Valia, the half Amazonian bodyguard of Dullaman.

Hotep-Ra was insanely jealous of Dullaman’s magical abilities so he created the Scarab Scepter to control the boy pharaoh. Hotep-Ra’s control was so great he even got Dullaman to kill Semat, Pakhom and Valia.

Bashari was out on campaign but when he returned and found out what happened he had Hotep-Ra mummified alive and cursed.

Dullaman ended up cursing himself and his lovers to be reborn together and then killed himself

Bashari had the four buried together in Dullaman’s tomb.

Hawkgirl meets Tucker at the museum exhibition of Dullaman’s tomb. Tucker doesn’t believe Hawkgirl is his mothers reincarnation because Tucker thinks he is ascribing his current friends faces to his past memories.

I'd like to submit some advertising for the museums of the state of Oklahoma to all your followers who are going to visit for the pigeon museum:

The American Banjo Museum in Oklahoma City is super fun and recently had a temporary exhibit with Kermit the Frog's banjo, the Philbrook Museum in Tulsa has garden cats, the Sam Noble Museum in Norman has literally so many dinosaurs, the USS Batfish in Muskogee is a WWII submarine in a landlocked state because why not really, and the First Americans Museum in Oklahoma City is probably the best example of centering Indigenous perspectives that I've ever seen.

I still have to go to the First Americans Museum but yeah i've heard good things! and as for the rest, yeah one thing Oklahoma is great at is having museums to fill niches no one would realize need filling - I add to your list the National Museum of Horseshoeing Tools in OKC. exactly what it says on the tin. not quite worth the entrance fee imo. (the Historical Train Museum (OKC) and the Museum of Osteology (OKC) and the Woody Guthrie museum (Tulsa) are other quite good ones though! and the cowboy/western heritage museum is also a very interesting time, though I suspect First Americans handles all that history better)

#pigeon museum remains my favorite but yes. hello. visit oklahoma not everything here is terrible!#asks #oklahoma things

Places I want to go with Greta Van Fleet:

Josh: Aspen, Colorado, the John Denver Sanctuary is there and I want to see it and I think he’d love it; One of those cool meditation rooms in a cave or something or a spa; The movies, but I pick the movie

Jake: St. Augustine, Florida (pirates, duh. Plus I’ve never been to Florida); Guitar Center; Barnes and Noble’s, but we get coffee and do a “Blind Date with a Book”

Danny: Disney World! I’ve never been and I want to ride roller coasters and he’s tall, so I won’t get as lost; Bowling, I’m amazing and want to beat him; Golfing, at a country club, but specifically one I used to work at because all the old men were hateful, and I want Danny to be my Trophy Golf Partner

Ocean cooling over millennia led to larger fish

https://sciencespies.com/nature/ocean-cooling-over-millennia-led-to-larger-fish/

Ocean cooling over millennia led to larger fish

Earth’s geological history is characterized by many dynamic climate shifts that are often associated with large changes in temperature. These environmental shifts can lead to trait changes, such as body size, that can be directly observed using the fossil record.

To investigate whether temperature shifts that occurred before direct measurements were recorded, called paleoclimatology, are correlated with body size changes, several members of the University of Oklahoma’s Fish Evolution Lab decided to test their hypothesis using tetraodontiform fishes as a model group. Tetradontiform fishes are primarily tropical marine fishes, and include pufferfish, boxfishes and filefish, among others.

The study was led by Dahiana Arcila, assistant professor of biology and assistant curator at the Sam Noble Museum of Natural History, with Ricardo Betancur, assistant professor of biology, along with biology graduate student Emily Troyer, and involved collaborators from the Smithsonian Institution, University of Chicago, and George Washington University in the United States, as well as University of Turin in Italy, University of Lyon in France, and CSIRO Australia.

The researchers discovered that the body sizes of these fishes have grown larger over the past hundred million years in conjunction with the gradual cooling of ocean temperatures.

Their finding adheres to two well-known rules of evolutionary trends, Cope’s rule which states that organismal body sizes tend to increase over evolutionary time, and Bergmann’s rule which states that species reach larger sizes in cooler environments and smaller sizes in warmer environments. What was less understood, however, was how these rules relate to ectotherms, organisms that can’t regulate their internal body temperatures and are dependent on their external or environmental climates.

“Cope’s and Bergmann’s rules are fairly well-supported for endotherms, or warm-blooded species, such as birds and mammals,” Troyer said. “However, among ectothermic species, especially vertebrates, these rules tend to have mixed findings.”

A challenge of studying ancient fish is that there are very few fossil records. To supplement that missing information, the researchers combined genomic data of living fish with fossil data.

“When you look across different groups in the tree of life, then you will notice that there are a limited number of groups that actually have a good fossil record, but the larger marine fish group (known as Tetraodontiformes)that includes the popular pufferfish, ocean sunfish and boxfish, is remarkable in that it has a spectacular paleontological record,” Arcila said. “So, by integrating those two fields, genomics and paleontology, then we’re actually able to bring into the picture new results that you won’t be able to obtain using just one data type.”

The genomic and fossil data was then combined with data on ocean temperatures, that demonstrated that the gradual climate cooling over the past 100 million years is associated with increased body size of tetraodontiform fishes.

“Based on fossil data, we’re showing that these fish started very small, but you can see that living species are much larger, and those changes are associated with the cooling temperature of the ocean over this very long period of time,” Arcila said.

While the evolution of tetraodontiform fishes appears to conform to Cope’s and Bergmann’s hypotheses, the authors add a caveat that many more factors could play a role in fish body size evolution.

“It’s really exciting to see support for these two biological rules in Tetraodontiformes, as these trends are less studied among marine fishes compared with terrestrial species,” Troyer said. “Undoubtedly we will discover more about their body size evolution in the future.”

Houston's Top 7 Locations for Stunning Sunset Views

Famous for its bustling eateries, street art, and southern culture, Houston provides a mesmerizing skyline vista after a busy day. Because of the year-round sunshine and the popularity of the city as a travel destination, it is imperative to witness the breathtaking sunset. Discover 'Space City' by venturing through parks, rooftops, stadiums, and the bayou. Make Houston an amazing trip by booking DTW flights and taking advantage of the city's many activities and attractions.

Houston's Top Spots to Take in the Stunning Sunset

Buffalo Bayou Park: In addition to having a fantastic sunset view, Buffalo Bayou Park in downtown Houston is home to the Cistern Art Museum, The Water Works, a restaurant, and a skate park. After seeing the sunset, the park's large urban area with a charming lake and scenic surroundings make it the perfect place to check out the city's nightlife.

Twilight Epiphany Skyspace The architecturally stunning Twilight Epiphany Skyspace on the Rice University campus serves as the home of the Shepherd School of Music in Houston. There's an LED show here around sunset, and there are two viewing platforms. Although there is a view of the Houston skyline from the lower deck, it is framed and offers a less impressive perspective of the sky above.

Hermann Park's Miller Outdoor Theatre Jazz, Shakespeare, ballet, and pop concerts are all free to see at Houston's Miller Theatre, which is situated in Hermann Park. March through November. The theater, which is great for enjoying free performances and the rays of the Texan sun, is situated between Hermann Park and the Hermann Zoo. It boasts a stunning view of the sunset.

The Nature Center & Arboretum in Houston Encompassing Memorial Park, one of the biggest urban parks in the United States, for five miles, Houston's Houston Arboretum & Nature Centre is an ideal location for a peaceful haven. The center provides beautiful sunsets, animals among the wetlands, and a calm haven from the daily grind. Photographers and lovers of the outdoors should not miss this tranquil setting.

Minute Maid Park For lovers of Major League Baseball, Minute Maid Park, the home stadium of the Houston Astros in Texas, is a unique experience. The stadium provides a distinctive ambiance for afternoon or evening games with a seating capacity of over 40,000. Savor the succulent sunset beside the world-famous Texas barbecue and game tickets.

Sam Houston Park The Kellum-Noble mansion, rustic buildings, and Victorian architecture can all be seen at Sam Houston Park, a historic property managed by the Heritage Society in downtown Houston. For those who enjoy history, this park provides something special: a prime location to watch the sunset while immersed in centuries of culture and history.

Memorial Park Golf, baseball, swimming, and a running course are among the many sports and outdoor activities available at Houston's Memorial Park, the city's largest open area. It also has Buffalo Bayou-bordering pathways that are well-liked by track runners and bikers and provide a calm setting for picnics and skyline views. Take a flight from Detroit to Houston and explore Houston.

Elderly Woman Puts Out Small Fire With Buckets of Water

Using buckets of water to put out a fire can be effective in certain situations, but it depends on the size and nature of the fire. Before attempting to extinguish a fire, always prioritize your safety and the safety of others. Only attempt to extinguish the fire if you are confident it can be safely managed. When using buckets of water, pouring the water directly onto the base of the fire is crucial. This helps to cool down the flames and starve the fire of oxygen. Do not throw water from a distance, as it may spread the fire or cause splashing that can lead to personal injury. Click here to read more.

June 15th - Kyoto Imperial Palace, Kyoto National Museum

We started off today bursting into guy Sams room at midnight to sing him happy birthday, then we went to bed. We woke up with no quiz due, to my surprise, especially because at breakfast when professor smith found out it was his birthday, he said "oh we'll have to have a quiz then", definitely got me with that one. We then sang him happy birthday again at our group meeting, and the hotel gave him a complimentary pair of socks, I know Vishnu was a bit jealous because he didn't get toe socks for his birthday but he stayed strong like a champ. We took a walk to the Kyoto National Museum, where we were informed we were not allowed to take any picture. This was unfortunate because the statues in the first room were amazing. There were two enormous statues of Kami probably, posing and standing on something that looked like a lion, on both ends of the display. In the middle there were these other large statues of other beings, that were slightly terrifying because they had hyper realistic eyes that stared into you. We were also assigned the task of finding an object in the museum that stood out to us or that we resonated with. So off I went looking at all the exhibits. This was pretty fun to me actually because I like museums and reading the stories behind some of the cool items. Just when I thought I was done and about to walk out I realized there were around three rooms I had not seen. In one of these rooms was a particularly interesting item that caught my eye. It was an extremely shiny bucket. This bucket had no surface imperfections, scratches, or chips, and was perfectly polished, it felt unnatural. I didn't pick this item for my assignment because what am I going to say about a shiny bucket. We also got to go on a guided tour of the Kyoto Imperial palace. It was very hard to hear the guide sometimes but I got the gist of most of it. During these short intermissions of not being able to hear the guide, Raj had the fun idea of trying to see who could find the biggest rock. The layout of the palace was actually pretty cool and functional, and I thought the pond area was really pretty. We then left and a group of us shopped around, and Nico and Xander discovered a cool object called a loofah and a process called exfoliating. I hope their shower experience is forever changed. Since it is Sam's birthday, I think there is karaoke planned for later which he seemed to enjoy last time. I hope he has a great birthday.

The item I picked is called Yoshimo and Tatsuta. It was a large room divider, with a beautiful mural on it. It depicted tatsuta shrine in autumn and yoshinos zao's hall in the the spring. It was extremely detailed, from the surrounding scenery like trees and water falls, the buildings and shrines, to the villagers and pilgrims carrying on a normal day. The linework was very satifsying, I looked closely at the details and it was just done so well. It would be a great piece for someone missing home, or in need of a cool view.

Academic Reflection

Unfortunately, on the Imperial Palace tour, we were not allowed to enter the buildings so we could not see inside or the the set up of them like how the reading described. We learned that the roofs were made of hundreds of layers of wood from cedar trees which is reserved for presigeous building, and that paper windows were used to let in light but still keep privacy. And as far as I could see there was in fact little to no furniture. We also learned that to prevent fires from spreading, some corridors were removed. I guess they got tired of rebuilding it after being burnt down.

I found it interesting from the readings that the town had specific rules for different classed of wealth. Like how only very noble family could have houses facing great avenues, and everyone else lived close together on smaller streets. Everyone was responsible for keeping the streets clean. All this in the effort to maintain beauty. Which does not seem too far off from fancy neighborhoods now, with their strict HOAs.

Police Said Four Children Escaped From Norman Child Care Center

One of the four preschool-age children who wandered out of a childcare facility in Norman on Tuesday wanted sweets from a business across a busy street, according to the father of one of them. Rory Quigley said his 4-year-old daughter was one of four children who escaped from the Bright Start Early Education Center on McGee Drive. It happened around 11:16 a.m. Tuesday, according to Norman Police. According to police, the children most likely escaped from the childcare center through a fence gap and crossed the street. Police officers located the children, who were safely returned to Bright Start, according to police. The officers also repaired the damaged section of the fence. I'm glad that these kids are safe.
