The first thing I want to read about is Kali. Smite is one of my favorite video games and I put way too much time into it. Smite is a video game that at the basic level takes gods from different pantheons and puts them into a ring to fight. For those familiar to the game genre, Smite is a MOBA, somewhat similar to League of Legends and Dota 2. Since describing this type of game would take a large amount of time and space, I am going to link this video by Purge (Dota 2 Personality) which does a great job of explaining the basics of Dota and by extension MOBAs in general since the basic concepts are very similar. Kali is one of the gods that is in the game as a playable character and one of my favorite characters in the game in general. She has a very unique play style which is one of the reasons she quickly became one of my most played heroes.

Agni
Similar to Kali, Agni is a playable character in Smite and one of my favorite characters in the game. I think that learning more about him and seeing how Smite's interpretation of him differs from his stories will be very interesting.

Vishnu
Thirdly, I think I would like to learn more about Vishnu. I don't really now much about him, other than what I briefly read on Wikipedia, but he seems pretty important.

I am also looking forward to both epics. I enjoyed reading The Odyssey in high school so I will hopefully enjoy both of these as well.

Introduction to a Hopeful Rocket Scientist

My name is Chris Weigel and I am a senior majoring in Aerospace Engineering. Initially, I came to OU wanting to be a Chemical Engineer. I have always enjoyed chemistry and still do to this day. Often my favorite parts of my classes are those that involve looking at the chemistry behind the mechanics. That being said, I switched to Aerospace because I realized how much I love aircraft and spacecraft. I am a member of the Boomer Rocket Team, an engineering competition team focused on building rockets for competition. Last year I helped build our rocket for the Spaceport America Cup which is an international competition. This was the team's first competition with more than 5 other teams competing. BRT Rocket Launching at Competition Courtesy of BRT Other than building rockets, I am an avid gamer. I probably play more video games than I should, but I'm having fun so I guess I don't really care. I primarily play Overwatch and Dota 2. I play a number of other games as ...

Week 14 Reading - Inayat. Twenty Jataka Tales Part B: The Forest Fire

Two quails had 7 baby quails 6 of the babies ate worms and bugs and grass seeds, but the seventh ate only grass seeds. Because the baby only ate grass seeds, its wings did not grow as strong as the others, and thus it could not fly. One day a forest fire came and the mother and father quail as well as the 6 other quail children flew away. The Seventh stayed in the nest as it couldn't fly. As the fire approach the small one spoke saying it was weak and there was nothing there for the fire. The fire left, and the bird lived happily. Quail Chick Against the Fire Source References Inayat.
