Harpies and Quines was a feminist magazine founded by seven women living and working in Scotland including the journalist and broadcaster Lesley Riddoch and published in Scotland between 1992 and 1994. The women were 2 community workers, 2 journalists, 1 illustrator, 1 film editor and graphic artist, 1 film and television art director. It was launched on a wave of enthusiasm, goodwill, donations and unpaid efforts of a great number of women. It was unsuccessfully sued by Harpers and Queen who objected to the name and didn t get the joke. Harpers and Queens managed to give the small independent magazine the kind of front page UK wide publicity it could not have afforded to pay for. Several sets of circumstances led to the directors of Harpies and Quines declaring voluntary insolvency in 1994 after publishing 16 18? issues.

They were the sons of Anemoi Boreas Boreas and Oreithyia , daughter of King Erechtheus of Athens . Due to being sons of the north wind they were supernaturally gifted in different ways depending on changes in the story from being passed down through generations and cultures either being as fast as the wind or able to fly, having wings either on their feet or backs, depending on the myth. They were Argonauts and played a particularly vital role in the rescue of Phineas from the Harpy harpies . They succeeded in driving the monsters away but did not kill them, at a request from the goddess of the rainbow, Iris mythology Iris , who promised that Phineas would not be bothered by the harpies again. As thanks, Phineas told the Argonauts how to pass the Symplegades . It is said that the Boreads were turned back by Iris at the Strophades . The islands name, meaning Islands of Turning , refers to this event. Their death was said to be caused by Heracles on Tenos in revenge for when they convinced the Argonauts to leave him behind as he searched for Hylas . Other sources imply that the sons of Boreas died chasing the harpies, as it was fated that they would perish if they failed to catch those they pursued. In some versions, the harpies drop into the sea from exhaustion, and so their pursuers fall as well.

Spellcross The Last Battle Spellcross Ostatnia bitwa in Polish Spellcross Posledn bitva in Czech is a turn based DOS strategy game for the IBM PC clone PC , developed by the Czechoslovakia company Cauldron HQ and published by SCi in 1997 1998. For a variety of reasons notably, a relatively nonexistent marketing budget and the emergence of games dominated by the demands of 3D graphics cards , unfortunately for its designers, the game had little mass appeal, sold poorly, and has remained obscure. In Spellcross , a contemporary Earth military fights for survival against an extradimensional invasion of orc s, undead , harpy harpies and other fantastical creatures. The game only features a single player mode, split into tactical battles and a strategic planning mode. The former is the actual combat, each unit has action points, which can be used to commit actions such as attack or move, or reserved for opportunity fire or movement. Resource and troop management, research, maps, territory acquisition and counter attacks tie the scenarios together in a rudimentary narrative. The newer English version differs from the older Czech version. Some graphics and animations have been improved, the mission design has been tweaked and some of them joined. The English version includes a tutorial and cheat codes. The English version has only two difficulty settings, while the Czech version has three.
