From The Editor Welcome to this special Olympic issue of KidsLife! As usual, your favourite magazine is packed full of puzzles, quizzes and interesting facts - in fact, everything you need to keep you entertained until you return to school next month! As we continue our study of planets, we take a look at Neptune, the furthest planet from the sun. Closer to home, you can read all about the man who invented DNA. Sir Alec Jeffreys has helped to solve thousands of crimes, thanks to his discovery of genetic fingerprinting. Talking of DNA, did you know baboons share 91% of the human DNA? Make sure you read all about this fascinating primate in this month’s Animal Kingdom. Rio de Janeiro is the subject of our Travel Diary in this issue. Rio is the host of this year’s Summer Olympics in which over 10,500 athletes will take part from 206 nations, in over 28 different sports. No doubt you’ll be watching some of them on TV. Do you have what it takes to become an Olympian? It takes dedication and a tremendous amount of sacrifice but imagine how it feels to win Olympic Gold!

Physical Properties of Water Why does sand on the beach always feel hotter than the ocean water? The answer lies in the physical properties of water. Water is the only natural substance that is found in all three states: solid (ice), liquid, and gas (steam). It boils at 212°F or 100°C and freezes at 32°F or 0°C. Water has a high specific heat index. Specific heat is the amount of energy required to change the temperature of a substance. Water can absorb a lot of heat before it begins to get hot, which is why the sand at the beach always feels hotter than the ocean water. Land absorbs heat faster than water. Water’s high specific heat index makes it valuable, especially to manufacturing companies. It is used as a coolant because it can absorb a lot of heat before it begins to get hot. Water can move over heated elements in a factory, absorbing the heat from machines. In a car, water is a coolant in the radiator that absorbs heat put out by the engine. When water molecules make a change in phase or state, their molecules rearrange themselves into different patterns. In the liquid phase, water molecules are closer together with no regular arrangement. The particles of a liquid vibrate, move about, and slide past each other. A solid has tightly packed particles that are usually in a regular pattern. There is very little vibration or movement of the particles of a solid. In the gaseous phase, water molecules are widely spaced apart and very active with no regular arrangement. Generally, as the temperature rises, matter moves to a more active state. This movement of molecules is called kinetic energy.

8


Most substances are the densest in their solid form. However, water is different. Solid water, or ice, floats on top of liquid water. Why is this? In order to float on water, a substance must be less dense than water. When ice is formed, the water molecules are tightly packed together, preventing them from changing shape. Ice has a regular pattern with the molecules held rigidly apart by their bonds. This causes ice to form a crystalline lattice structure. These crystals have many open spaces throughout their structure, making ice less dense than liquid water.

If you like books, head to the Biblioteca Nacional (National Library), one of the largest libraries in the world with more than 9 million items.

Whilst in Rio, don’t forget to try the Feijoada, a delicious black bean stew.

The official song of Rio de Janeiro is ‘Cidade Maravilhosa’, which means ‘marvellous city’.

QUESTIONS

In contrast to the glitz and glamour of the city, Rio’s ‘favelas’ are home to over 250,000 residents. These slums are as much a part of Rio’s culture as their wealthy neighbours and offer photo opportunities you’re unlikely to forget.

Baboons are closely related to humans. They share 91% of the same DNA!

There are five different species of baboon – Olive, Guinea, Chacma, Yellow and Hamadryas.

The Chacma is the largest baboon and the Guinea the smallest.

They are large, powerful monkeys that spend most of their time on the ground. They roam around in search of food and water during the day and retire to the trees to sleep.

18

They are native to East Africa and their habitats include savanna, scrub, rocky deserts and rainforests.


They have large heads and a long muzzle (like a dog) and pouches in their cheeks for storing food. They also have a heavy brow ridge to protect their eyes, and very sharp teeth.

Their bodies are covered in wild, dark fur but their faces and rumps are hairless. They also have a distinctive bend at the base of their long tails.

They are incredibly sociable and intelligent animals. They live in large ‘troops’ with up to 100 members.

The female baboon is half the size of the male.

A baboon pregnancy lasts 6 months. Once the infant is born, the mother will carry it everywhere, clutching it to her stomach. After six week, it will ride on her back like a jockey! 19


They communicate in a variety of ways including facial expressions, vocal calls (grunts, barks and screams) and tail signals.

Baboons are well known for social grooming – they pick dead skin, parasites and dirt from each other’s fur. This is thought to strengthen bonds within the troop.

Their diet includes fruit, seeds, flowers and roots as well as insects, eggs, rodents, lizards, shellfish and birds.

The biggest threat to Baboons though is people. They are often killed for meat or by farmers who fear for their crops. Their natural habitats are also dwindling, causing a greater threat to numbers.

20


Despite their size, they are preyed upon by lions, leopards and cheetahs. Young baboons are also targeted by birds of prey, phythons and African wild dogs. The Guinea Baboon is classified with a conservation status of ‘Near Threatened’

Alec Jeffreys was born on 9th January 1950 in Oxford, England. In 1956 he moved with his family to Luton, Bedfordshire. He was naturally curious and was keen to follow in the footsteps of his father and grandfather - both were prolific inventors. At the age of 8, his father gave him a chemistry set and later, a Victorianera brass microscope. When he was 12, he made a small dissecting kit and got into trouble with his family when he took home a dead cat and began dissecting it on the kitchen table! He also detonated his aunt’s apple tree! He carried out many home-made experiments, one of which resulted in a sulphuric acid burn on his chin and a permanent scar (later covered with a beard).

22

Alec excelled in his studies and received a scholarship at Merton College, Oxford. He graduated in 1972 with first-class honours in biochemistry. After completing his doctorate, he moved to the University of Amsterdam and then the University of Leicester. It was here, in 1984, he invented genetic fingerprinting.


Using variations in the genetic code to identify individuals, he was able to discover a method which highlighted differences between individuals’ DNA. This method went on to become invaluable in police detective work and resolving paternity and immigration issues. DNA stands for ‘Deoxyribonucleic Acid’ and his DNA profiling soon became the standard forensic system used in criminal cases across the globe. It is often used to solve so-called ‘cold cases’ which lacked reliable evidence when they first occurred. Alec has received many awards and honours in recognition of his groundbreaking discovery. These included a Knighthood in 1994 for services to genetics and to science and technology. The most recent was the Copley Medal which he received in 2014 for ‘outstanding achievements in research’ from the Royal Society, London. Alec has been married to his wife, Sue, since 1971. They have two daughters.

“I still get a terrific buzz out of getting an experiment to work, I've never lost that and I've being doing experiments since I was seven or eight years old"

A dream Edgar Allan Poe

In visions of the dark night I have dreamed of joy departed; But a waking dream of life and light Hath left me broken-hearted. Ah! what is not a dream by day To him whose eyes are cast On things around him, with a ray Turned back upon the past? That holy dream, that holy dream, While all the world were chiding, Hath cheered me as a lovely beam, A lonely spirit guiding. What though that light, thro' storm and night, So trembled from afar – What could there be more purely bright In Truth's day-star? Q1. Why do you think Poe describes dreams as "looking back on the past"? Q2. Why do you think his "dream of life and light" left him brokenhearted upon waking up?

1896 Olympics Get geared up for the Olympics with this fun reading worksheet about the first modern Olympic games, held in -- where else? -- Greece in 1896.

The 1896 Olympics were the fi rst Olympic Games since ancient times. They were held in Athens, Greece in April 1896. At that time, it was the largest international sporting event ever held. Fourteen countries, including the United States, participated. There were nine categories of events of the 1896 Olympics. They included athletics, which was similar to track and field events, cycling, fencing and wrestling. Opening ceremony of the 1896 Olympics.

Other athletes competed in swimming, weightlifting, tennis and gymnastics. Winners of the events won medals, although first place medals were silver and second place medals were copper. Today, first place medals are gold, second place medals are silver and third place are bronze. Winners also received an olive branch and a diploma. Only male athletes were allowed to participate in the 1896 Olympics. Women would first be allowed to participate in the second Olympic games in 1900 in Paris, France. The U.S. team was made up mostly of university students from Harvard and Princeton. The U.S. team won 11 fi rst place medals, the most of any country. Greece won the most medals overall. The 1896 Olympics were very popular. Over 80,000 people attended the opening ceremony.

Cherries are small, dark red fruits with a hard seed on the inside. They are smooth and glossy on the outside.

They were first discovered by the Romans around 70 BC.

There are over 1000 varieties of cherry. The two most common varieties are the sweet Prunus Avium and the sour Prunus Cerasus.

26

The word cherry comes from the Turkish town of Cerasus. Turkey produces more cherries than any other country.


Like many fruits, cherries are a member of the rose family.

They do not ripen once they have been picked.

They are a very low calorie fruit and are rich in vitamins and minerals.

Cherry trees blossom in spring with pink/white flowers. Their leaves are oval with saw-like edges.

In Japan, people gather in parks to view the beautiful cherry tree blossoms. This tradition is called ‘Hanami’.

The wood from a cherry tree is often used to make furniture.

27


In an average crop year, a cherry tree will produce 800 cherries.

Cherry trees can grow up to 33 feet high and survive for 100 years!

The cherries from an average cherry tree are enough to make 28 cherry pies.

Scientists have discovered that cherries can reduce inflammation and pain in rats!

Under normal conditions, we all lose some body water every day in our sweat, tears, urine, and stool. Water also evaporates from skin and leaves the body as vapor when we breathe. We usually replace this body fluid and the salts it contains with the water and salts in our regular diet. Sometimes, however, kids lose large amounts of water and salts through fever (more water evaporates from the body when body temperature is increased), diarrhea, vomiting, or long periods of exercise with excessive sweating. Some illnesses might also prevent them from taking fluids by mouth. If they're unable to adequately replace the fluid that's been lost, kids can become dehydrated.

Recognizing Dehydration If your child has fever, diarrhea, or vomiting, or is sweating a lot on a hot day or during intense physical activity, watch for signs of dehydration, which can include: dry or sticky mouth few or no tears when crying eyes that look sunken into the head soft spot (fontanelle) on top of baby's head that looks sunken lack of urine or wet diapers for 6 to 8 hours in an infant (or only a very small amount of dark yellow urine) lack of urine for 12 hours in an older child (or only a very small amount of dark yellow urine) dry, cool skin lethargy or irritability fatigue or dizziness in an older child 32


Preventing Dehydration The best way to prevent dehydration is to make sure kids get plenty of fluids when they're sick or physically active — they should consume more fluids than they lose (from vomiting, diarrhea, or sweating). How to keep them hydrated can depend on the circumstances. For example, a child with a sore throat may become dehydrated due to difficulty drinking or eating. Easing the pain with acetaminophen or ibuprofen may help, and cold drinks or popsicles can soothe a burning throat while also supplying fluids. Fever due to various infections can be a factor in dehydration. Although not all fevers need to be treated, if your child is uncomfortable and not drinking enough fluids you can use acetaminophen or ibuprofen to help control the fever. It's important that kids drink often during hot weather. Those who participate in sports or strenuous activities should drink some extra fluid before the activity begins. They should also drink at regular intervals (about every 20 minutes) during the course of the activity and after it ends. Ideally, sports practices and competitions should be scheduled for the early morning or late afternoon to avoid the hottest part of the day.

Thirst is not a good early sign of dehydration. By the time a child feels thirsty, he or she may already be dehydrated. And thirst can be quenched before the necessary body fluids have been replaced. That's why kids should start drinking before thirst develops and consume additional fluids even after thirst is quenched.

33


Treating Dehydration

IIt's important for parents to learn to recognize the early signs of

dehydration and to respond quickly if they develop.

The goal in treating dehydration is to replace fluids in order to restore the levels of body fluids to normal. A child who's mildly dehydrated due to overexertion will probably be thirsty and should be allowed to drink as much as he or she wants. Plain water is the best option. Also, the child should rest in a cool, shaded environment until the lost fluid has been replaced. If your child is engaged in prolonged vigorous activity, sports drinks containing sugar and electrolytes (salts) are a good option.

What Can I Do About Acne? The replacement of lost fluids is known as rehydration, which is achieved by replacing the lost fluids using an ORS over the course of 3 to 4 hours. Start the rehydration process by giving your child 1 or 2 teaspoons (5 or 10 milliliters) of an ORS every few minutes. This can be done with a spoon or an oral syringe. Although this may not seem like enough fluids to rehydrate your child, these small amounts can add up to more than a cup (237 milliliters) an hour. If the child does well, you can gradually give bigger sips a little less often. Even kids who are vomiting can usually be successfully rehydrated this way because the small frequent sips get absorbed in between the vomiting episodes. In addition, the correction of dehydration often lessens the frequency of vomiting. Other "clear liquids" often used by parents or recommended by doctors in the past are no longer considered appropriate for use in dehydrated kids. Drinks to avoid include: water, soda, ginger ale, tea, fruit juice, gelatin desserts, chicken broth, or sports drinks. These don't have the right mix of sugar and salts and can even make diarrhea worse.

PETE'S DRAGON For years, old wood carver Mr. Meacham (Robert Redford) has delighted local children with his tales of the fierce dragon that resides deep in the woods of the Pacific Northwest. To his daughter, Grace (Bryce Dallas Howard), who works as a forest ranger, these stories are little more than tall tales…until she meets Pete (Oakes Fegley). Pete is a mysterious 10-yearold with no family and no home who claims to live in the woods with a giant, green dragon named Elliott. And from Pete’s descriptions, Elliott seems remarkably similar to the dragon from Mr. Meacham’s stories. With the help of Natalie (Oona Laurence), an 11-year-old girl whose father Jack (Wes Bentley) owns the local lumber mill, Grace sets out to determine where Pete came from, where he belongs, and the truth about this dragon.

ie Log n h o J d Bair

Olympism is a philosophy of life originally promoted by Pierre de Coubertin, exalting and combining in a balanced whole the qualities of body, will and mind, through a mixture of sport, culture and education. To disseminate Olympism, Baron de Coubertin created an international sporting festival inspired by the ancient Olympic Games. Accordingly, athletes could be exalted individually and unite communities throughout the world.

Who was Pierre de Coubertin?

Better known as Baron de Coubertin, he was a French educator and historian. He made history as the founder of the modern Olympic games.

Inspired by the Greek ideals, Baron de Coubertin believed that physical education was a key factor to moral education. Thus, the French educator realised that the competition could be a way to broadcast this philosophy throughout the world.

EXCELLENCE:

Olympism abides by three essential values:

EXCELLENCE, FRIENDSHIP, RESPECT

This value means “do your best�, in sport and life. Its main idea is not to compare yourself to others, but to chase your own personal goals, with determination and effort.

44

The most important thing is not winning, but taking part, progress towards your personal goals, striving to do your best in everyday life and benefitting from a healthy combination of body, mind and strong will.


FRIENDSHIP: dship the Frien spires h g u o r h T mpism in value, Oly olitical, ercome p ial v o o t le , rac peop , gender economic s differences u or religio lidate friendship o s n o c nces. and e differe s e h t e it desp rt and pen in spo p a h t s u This m in life.

This value refers to the construction of a better and more peaceful world through solidarity, team spirit, joy and optimism. The athletes express this value when they build strong ties with team members and opponents.

RESPECT:

This value represents the ethical principle that should inspire all those who participate in the Olympic Games. It includes respect for yourself and for your body, respect for others, for the rules and for the environment. It is an essential value to apply not only at the Games, but in your day-to-day life.

Attention! The Respect value also refers to fair play that every athlete should practise, as well as the obligation to avoid doping. Doping is the use of specific drugs or methods that artificially boost the athlete’s performance during a competition.

All members of the Olympic Movement share the Olympism philosophy. The IOC is in the top position, the supreme authority that governs the Olympic Movement. Then come the organisations recognised by the IOC, which comply with the Olympism principles and abide by the rules established by the Olympic Charter.

IOC

Learn More. Pierre de Coubertin created the IOC during the celebration of the Olympic Games at Sorbonne University (Paris) on 23 June 1894. Even today, this date is celebrated as Olympic Day worldwide. The official languages of the IOC are English and French.

International Federations (IFs)

National Olympic Committees (NOCs)

National Sporting associations and clubs

Sporting officials, coaches and managers

Organising Committees of the Olympic Games (OCOGs) Athletes

Tips: The Olympic Charter contains the fundamental rules that govern the organisation and operation of the Olympic Movement. It also established the conditions for celebration of the Olympic Games.

45


The Olympic symbols reflect the ideals of Olympism. They are responsible for highlighting and transmitting the philosophy of the Olympic Movement throughout the world. The Olympic symbols help keep the ideals of the Olympic Movement alive.

The Olympic Rings The five rings interconnected over a white background in blue, yellow, black, green and red represent the union of the five continents. They are the main graphic representation of the Olympic Games and the logo of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) itself.

Attention!

The colours of the Olympic Rings were chosen due to the frequency in which they appear on the flags of the various world nations. At least one of the colours is present in each flag.

Thus, besides symbolising the union of the five continents, this powerful symbol integrates all countries around the globe.

The Olympic Motto

CITIUS, ALTIUS, FORTIUS Faster, Higher, Stronger

This is the Olympic motto. It summarises the posture an athlete needs to have in order to achieve their objectives. Its essence is in the overcoming of limits.

The Olympic Rings are also present in another Olympic symbol:

The Olympic Flag.

It is hoisted at all official Games ceremonies.

Learn More. The Olympic motto was created by a friar called Henri Didon, a close friend of Baron de Coubertin. It promotes the idea of overcoming the athlete’s limits in their struggle to win the long-awaited Olympic medal.

46


The Olympic Torch

The Relay

The torch is a link between the ancient Games and the modern Games.

The torch is carried by relay all the way to its final destination.

The choice of Olympia as the starting point for the Torch Relay emphasises this link.

Although the torch bearers usually carry the torch on foot, other transport means are also used.

The sacred flame, seen as a purifying element, signals the start of the Games and summons the world to celebrate them peacefully.

Along the way, the flame announces the Olympic Games and transmits a message of peace and friendship.

Learn More. For air transport, the flame is protected in a safety lantern, similar to a miner's lantern. During the night, it is kept in a special cauldron. The flame remains lit throughout the duration of the Games, and is only extinguished at the closing ceremony.

The Games Opening Ceremony The highlight of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games is the entrance of the Olympic flame into the stadium, to light the Olympic cauldron. The identity of the final torch bearer is kept secret until the last minute. It is often a celebrity from the sports world or a young person symbolising hope for the future.

Tips: The final torch bearer often completes a lap of the stadium before lighting the monumental cauldron with the Olympic flame.

Next, a symbolic release of doves evokes the climate of peace in which the Olympic Games should take place.

Learn More. In each edition, the host city creates its own torch, which receives new designs and shapes, according to the culture of the host country. The flame can only be lit according to the old method of sunrays on a parabolic mirror.

The Anthem and the Oath The anthem was composed by Greek composer Spirou Samara, with lyrics by Greek musician Cositis Palamas, in 1896. The IOC adopted it as the Olympic anthem in 1958. Since then, the anthem is played whenever the Olympic flag is hoisted at all official ceremonies.

THE OATH

“In the name of all the competitors I promise that we shall take part in these Olympic Games, respecting and abiding by the rules which govern them, committing ourselves to a sport without doping and without drugs, in the true spirit of sportsmanship, for the glory of sport and the honour of our teams."

Attention!

The Olympic Oath was written by Baron de Coubertin and was first taken at the 1920 Summer Olympic Games in Antwerp, by the fencer and water polo player Victor Boin.

Since then, the Olympic Oath has always been taken by a host athlete.

47


Now that you are familiar with the main Olympic symbols, let us talk about the mascots and brand. From the dog to the snow leopard or even through ice cubes in human format, the mascots attribute an element of humour and joy to the Olympic experience. The mascots and the brand are a very effective communication tool, in the same way as a slogan.

The Olympic Mascots

The mascots contribute to the efforts of offering a warm welcome to athletes and visitors from around the world in the Games host city. Over the years, the Games mascots have become examples of imagination, ingenuity and artistic creativity.

From Waldi, the dachshund of the Munich Games, to Amik, the beaver of the Montreal Games, the first mascots were emblematic animals of the host country. In 1992, Barcelona surprised the world with Cobi, an avantgarde dog created by famous designer Javier Mariscal. Following Cobi, a variety of mascots based on people, animals or even mythical and imaginary creatures emerged.

48


Glossary

The word mascot derives from the Provençal language, appearing in French dictionaries in the late 19th century. The term has spread since the triumphant performance of singer Grizier Montbazon at an operetta called “La Mascotte” in 1880.

The impact was so great that jewellers created a pendant for bracelets with the picture of the singer wearing the costume during the performance.

A Little History

In a thrilling finale, Moscow 1980 mascot Misha gave a grand farewell to 100,000 spectators at the Grand Arena in Moscow at the end of the closing ceremony of the Games. With tears in his eyes, he was lifted by balloons and disappeared into the sky.

The Brand of the Games

The Olympic Games are unique. Athletes from all around the world participate. Their achievements are observed from near and far by hundreds of millions of viewers. Every four years, a different city wins the right to host the Games. For each edition of the Games, a new brand is created.

Misha, the Moscow 1980 mascot

As you already know, 2016 edition of the Games will be held in Rio de Janeiro this month. The brand of the Rio 2016 Games exudes creativity and beauty. It depicts the contagious energy of cariocas, in addition to the exuberant nature of Rio de Janeiro.

The brand of the2012 edition of the Games: Londres

Learn More. The first Olympic mascot - which was not official - was called Schuss and was used at the 1968 Grenoble Winter Olympic Games. Four years later, in the 1972 Munich Summer Games, the first official Olympic mascot was created. Since then, these friendly symbols have become the most memorable and popular ambassadors of the Games

PASSION AND TRANSFORMATION Passion that unites all Brazilians in the staging of the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Transformation shown in the pride to build a new reality for progress.

NEPTUNE

• The discovery of the planet Neptune was one of the most exciting discoveries in astronomy. • Neptune cannot be seen without a large telescope and was first seen in 1846 from the observatory in Berlin. • BUT, the existence of Neptune had actually been ‘discovered’ a year earlier, in 1845. • Neptune is the 8th planet from the Sun. Uranus, the 7th planet, was first discovered by means of a telescope in 1781. Two astronomers (scientists who study the stars and planets), J.C. Adams in England and Urbain Le Verrier in France, had been puzzled by the shape of Uranus’ orbit. They worked out, using mathematics, that some large, more distant, body must be pulling Uranus towards it at certain points in the orbit. 56


• The Berlin observatory, following Le Verrier’s calculations giving the possible position of this object, searched for Neptune and found the planet. They named it Neptune after the Roman God of the Sea. • Neptune is the third largest planet in the Solar System, much smaller than the real giants, Jupiter and Saturn, and only a little bigger than Uranus. • Neptune has a diameter of 29,297 miles, or 47,150 kilometres. The Earth has a diameter of 7928 miles (12,760 kilometres). • Neptune is one of the four ‘gas giants’. Like Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus, it is composed only of gas. Neptune is a great ball of hydrogen and helium. • Like all the other planets in the Solar System, Neptune moves in an orbit round the Sun at the centre of the system. It takes Neptune 165 of our Earth years to orbit the Sun. The Earth orbits the Sun in 365 days, one year. • In 2011 Neptune completed the first orbit of the Sun since its discovery 165 years before in 1846. • Like all the other planets, Neptune turns on its own axis as it is orbiting the sun. Imagine walking round a large pond, but turning round and round as you go! • The Earth turns right round on its own axis in 24 hours, giving us the change from day, when we face the Sun, to night, when our part of the Earth turns away from the Sun. Neptune spins slightly faster on its axis, taking just over 19 hours to turn right round. • The Earth is 150 million kilometres from the Sun (93 million miles) and this measurement is taken as the standard for astronomical measurements of distance. Astronomers say that the Earth is one Astronomical Unit (1 AU) from the Sun. Neptune is unimaginably further. • Neptune is 30.1 Astronomical Units from the Sun, a staggering 2793 million miles (4495 million kilometres) from the Sun, and 2700 million miles from the Earth. • In the same year that Neptune was first seen, 1846, its first moon was also spotted and named Triton. Triton is a most unusual moon since it orbits Neptune in the opposite direction of Neptune’s own rotation on its axis. All the other major satellites (moons) in the Solar System follow their planets round as they turn. Try orbiting the pond again, turning on your own axis, but this time take a friend to orbit round you. If you are turning on your axis clockwise, have him go round you anticlockwise (be careful not to get so dizzy you fall in the pond!) • Triton is about the same size as our own moon. A smaller moon, Nereid, was discovered by telescope in 1949 and six further moons were discovered in the 1980s by the Voyager spacecraft. All these moons are between Triton and Neptune. • We now know that Neptune has 13 moons in total. Since Neptune was the God of the Sea, all the moons are named after less important ancient Greek sea gods, like Triton, or sea nymphs, like Nereid. 57
