![]() ![]() ![]() The Mississippian culture warrior icons like the Falcon symbol provides interesting history and ideas for tattoos that include cosmic imagery depicting animals, humans and mythical beasts. The Mississippian culture was based on warfare, which was represented by an array of emblems, motifs and symbols. The Mississippian Native Americans were the last of the mound-building cultures of North America in the Midwestern, Eastern, and Southeastern United States. The most ancient Native American Indian symbols, like the Falcon symbol, came from the Mississippian culture which was established in 1000AD and continued to 1550AD onward. The Falcon Symbol - Mississippian culture For additional information refer to Power Animals. Performing rituals and Falcon dances were the Mississippians way of aligning themselves to the spirits of the Upperworld and gaining favor for victory in forth coming battles or victory in important competitions such as Chunkey during which fortunes could be won or lost. The severed head proves his prowess as a warrior. The Falcon symbol picture clearly shows the dancer showing a mace which was a bludgeoning weapon and in his hand he carries a severed head. The Falcon created a powerful, intimidating figure and was associated with warfare. The Mississippians used dances, gestures and sounds as symbolic powers and wore ceremonial clothes and carried sacred objects and weapons to symbolize their power. The Falcon was portrayed as a strong, high flying predators. The link between the Upperworld (heaven) and the earth was the sky and the Falcon was able to move between the two realms as messengers to the gods. A Falcon therefore represented the Upperworld, order, and light and Falcon dancers would perform in ceremonies supplicating the spirits of the Upperworld. The Falcon was believed to be a supernatural deity who resided in the Upperworld with the spirits of the Sun, Moon and Stars. The Falcon symbol featured strongly in the Mississippian culture, along with the other Bird Man symbols. ![]()

Welcoming Regina’s darkest needs, Meg explores her own deep-seated desires that have been locked away in the shadows her whole life.Įrotic, amusing, and profoundly romantic, Owning Regina is a tale that will awaken you, possess you, and transport you to an alternate universe that steams with passion and danger. Compelled by the need for a balance between worlds, the two embark on a daring, passionately physical role-playing game. Regina, also enchanted by a woman for the first time, finds freedom from the pressures of daily life by committing herself to Meg. She had never been with a woman- never had to be in society with a woman, never had to wonder what labels may be placed upon her relationship, never considered herself anything but obsessed with men. Shocked, yet thrilled by the intense level of Regina’s erotic desire, Meg turns apprehensive. Despite significant differences in lifestyle, each woman is desperate to get close to the other to explore the depths of devotion. What starts as friendship turns sharply toward something more as they learn they each share a love for very dark and unconventional sensual expression. At a time when she is unsure about all things romantic, she encounters 5th grade teacher Regina Baker at yoga class, a free-spirited single mom who is beautiful, playful, and impossibly intriguing. When television commercial production coordinator Meg Curtis gets stood up by her longtime boyfriend, she vents her frustration by feverishly writing in a diary.

It slowly builds both its fantasy and hardcore sex elements, each hour revealing some new hidden depths of the main characters, their relationship, or the world author Tiffany Reisz has constructed, making this listen a tease in and of itself. The Red is one of the most provocative, boundary-pushing audiobooks on our list. ![]() ![]() ![]() Centrifugal force, which depends on velocity, is also therefore effectively zero. Inside that layer and following standard boundary-layer theory, the velocity of the fluid is effectively zero. In the context of meandering rivers, a boundary layer exists within the thin layer of fluid that interacts with the river bed. Secondary flow: A force balance exists between pressure forces pointing to the inside bend of the river and centrifugal forces pointing to the outside bend of the river. In the context of meandering rivers, its effects are dominated by those of secondary flow. This classic fluid mechanics result is irrotational vortex flow. Therefore, in the absence of secondary flow we would expect low fluid velocity at the outside bend and high fluid velocity at the inside bend. Irrotational flow: From Bernoulli's equations, high pressure results in low velocity. For a river to meander, secondary flow must dominate. From here, two opposing processes occur: (1) irrotational flow and (2) secondary flow. When a fluid is introduced to an initially straight channel which then bends, the sidewalls induce a pressure gradient that causes the fluid to alter course and follow the bend. ![]() This in turn increases carrying capacity for sediments on the outer bank and reduces it on the inner bank, so that sediments are eroded from the outer bank and redeposited on the inner bank of the next downstream meander. This produces helicoidal flow, in which water moves from the outer to the inner bank along the river bed, then flows back to the outer bank near the surface of the river. Meanders are a result of the interaction of water flowing through a curved channel with the underlying river bed. Straight channel culminating in a single bend Its modern Turkish name is the Büyük Menderes River. It flows through series of three graben in the Menderes Massif, but has a flood plain much wider than the meander zone in its lower reach. The Meander River is south of Izmir, east of the ancient Greek town of Miletus, now Milet, Turkey. Strabo said: ‘.its course is so exceedingly winding that everything winding is called meandering.’ As a result, even in Classical Greece (and in later Greek thought) the name of the river had become a common noun meaning anything convoluted and winding, such as decorative patterns or speech and ideas, as well as the geomorphological feature. ![]() The term derives from the winding river Menderes located in Asia-Minor and known to the Ancient Greeks as Μαίανδρος Maiandros ( Latin: Maeander), characterised by a very convoluted path along the lower reach. Streams or rivers with a single channel and sinuosities of 1.5 or more are defined as meandering streams or rivers. The sinuosity of a watercourse is the ratio of the length of the channel to the straight line down-valley distance. The degree of meandering of the channel of a river, stream, or other watercourse is measured by its sinuosity. Over time, meanders migrate downstream, sometimes in such a short time as to create civil engineering challenges for local municipalities attempting to maintain stable roads and bridges. It typically ranges from 15 to 18 times the width of the channel. The zone within which a meandering stream periodically shifts its channel is known as a meander belt. The result of this coupled erosion and sedimentation is the formation of a sinuous course as the channel migrates back and forth across the axis of a floodplain. It is produced as a watercourse erodes the sediments of an outer, concave bank ( cut bank or river cliff) and deposits sediments on an inner, convex bank which is typically a point bar.
