Topic: Medusa bag


  
  Medusa - Wikinfo
Medusa was a gorgon from Greek mythology whose gaze turned people to stone.
Medusae are a form of coelenterate in which the body is shortened on its principal axis and broadened, sometimes greatly, in contrast with the hydroid or polyp.
Medusa is a superhero in the Marvel Universe.

  Medusa in Myth and Literary History
Medusa's head, an apparently simple motif linked to the myth of Perseus, was freed through being severed and cut loose from its 'moorings' by the hero in the remote depths of the world.
The fact that Medusa is a mask and that this mask hides a more human face, is borne out by the way in which her portrayal is developed from the pre-Classical era to the Hellenistic period.
Medusa's blood is therefore the epitome of the 'pharmakon', while she herself -- as is shown by the apotropaic function of her mask -- is a 'pharmakos'.

Because the inventor of 'Medusa bags' in 1988 wished to retain the intellectual property rights to Medusa when withdrawing from the partnership.
Intermediate sized bags could be produced at about 1 every three months at present but this could be increased by using industrial capacity in the West and new fabrication facilities being contemplated elsewhere.
The first very large water bags will take at least12 months for fabrication and testing, but thereafter several fabrication facilities are expected to be required both in the West and in certain developing countries.

 History House: The Raft of the Medusa
The Medusa, an ill-piloted ship in the nineteenth century, runs aground and sets sailors adrift in a rickety raft.
First they had to swallow their pride and deal with this dreadful right-wing know-nothing monarchist braggart, and now they were being forced to take a course they knew to be foolhardy in the extreme.
De Chaumereys told the men on the raft that he had "provided [them] with everything [they] need." Everything, that is, except a compass, enough food and water to accommodate so many men, a dry place to sleep, blankets or space to lie down.

 The story of Medusa on Ancient Coins
Medusa has snakes around her head, as well as normal hair, and is sticking out her tongue.
The size of a goatskin is about right for it to be used as a shield covering, but classical statues and paintings of Athena show it as a garment worn on her breast, complete with gorgoneion.
This is the aegis, the goatskin cloak of Zeus, as adapted for Athena to include Medusa's mask at the centre.

 Medusa and the Image of Rape

Answer: According to the myth of Medusa she was mortal and Perseus cut her head off and put it in a bag, resulting in her death.

§ 1.) Medusa, who alone of her sisters was mortal, was, according to some legends, at first a beautiful maiden, but her hair was changed into serpents by Athena, in consequence of her having become by Poseidon the mother of Chrysaor and Pegasus, in one of Athena's temples.
There was a tradition at Athens that the head of Medusa was buried under a mound in the Agora.
This in their anguished struggle from those dread maiden's lips was heard streaming, and from those writhing serpent heads untouchable, when Perseus o'er the third of those fell sisters launched his cry of triumph, and brought fatal doom to Seriphos by the sea - doom for that isle and for her people.

 Hydro-Politics Along the Jordan River
Medusa bags are streamlined containers for fresh water towed by tugboat and measuring 650 meters by 150 meters, with a 22 meter draft, capable of carrying 1.75 million cubic meters of water per haul.
A significant infrastructure investment would also have to be made as well - because each medusa bag would be the size of a supertanker, its draft would prevent it from reaching shore.
Water transfer from medusa bags, reverse-osmosis desalinization plants, or the Med-Dead/Red-Dead conduit schemes would provide a relaxation of the water imperative in the medium-term.

For example, most people don't know that Medusa was once the most beautiful of her sisters, as well as the only one who was mortal.
Interestingly enough, Medusa seems to be the only pet in the four episodes to have any real feelings (the first two being primarily concerned with hunger and the last which seems to simply fill its function).
While Medusa was not forced (at least not according to the sources used for this section) into her actions, she either did not know better or did not realize the consequences (which does not excuse her from them), while Poseidon knew his niece would be displeased.
