![]() Socialism, while it sounds good in theory, has never worked in the long term. That’s why, if we’re going to build a better society, we need to come up with a new economic system that doesn’t have these built-in flaws. So, while socialism sounds good in theory, it doesn’t work in practice. This can lead to a lack of economic growth.

Since the implementation of the QSA, SDCWA has reduced its reliance on deliveries from MWD, who now provides about 46% of the region’s water supply and is projected to drop to 30% by 2020 (see chart). In addition, lining portions of the All-American and Coachella Canals yields 93,700 acre-feet per year, of which SDCWA receives 77,700 acre-feet per year for 110 years, the remaining 16,000 acre-feet per year goes to San Diego County Indian bands. MWD also leases between 25,000 and 111,000 acre-feet per year from Palo Verde Irrigation District. Similarly, the IID-Coachcella Valley Water District transfer ramps up to 103,000 acre-feet per year and an existing agreement between between IID and MWD providing MWD up to 110,000 acre-feet per year was extended. Under the IID-SDCWA transfer, deliveries from IID to SDCWA ramp up to 200,000 acre-feet per year in 2021. In addition, the QSA requires state action on Salton Sea Restoration and provides for a number of water transfers that significantly boost water supplies-by up to 30 million acre-feet over the life of the transfer agreements. While the QSA has at its core the IID-SDCWA water transfer, it actually encompasses several agreements and has far-reaching impacts, developing means for California to live within its 4.4 million acre-feet per year apportionment from the Colorado River and settling disputes with the other Colorado River Basin states. Squint hard and you may see a reflection of the blood, sweat and tears it took to get it into your home.” The Union-Tribune San Diego Editorial Board put it well in a recent editorial highlighting the water supply independence San Diego is enjoying as a result of the QSA, “Take a close look at that next glass of water from the kitchen faucet. But it would take eight years of wrangling over various points of controversy and overcoming challenges before the QSA would be signed. With leaders in the Imperial Valley wanting to preserve and protect senior Colorado River water rights and SDCWA needing to diversify its water supply, the Imperial Irrigation District (“IID”) and SDCWA reached a memorandum of understanding for a long-term conservation-and-transfer agreement in 1995. Because MWD provided 95% of the region’s water supply, the cuts underscored the region’s vulnerability and lead to calls for a more diversified water supply. Due to ongoing drought conditions, the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (“MWD”) sharply reduced deliveries to the region, cutting them by 31%. Like most anniversaries, the occasion passed without the fanfare of the original event-but the San Diego County Water Authority commemorated the occasion by reflecting on the history of the agreement and the water supply security it has brought to the region.Īccording to Dennis Cushman, Assistant General Manager of SDCWA, the QSA spurred from a 1991 water supply crisis.

In the Odyssey, Achilles speaks to Odysseus in the Underworld, famously claiming: While his realm was not necessarily a place of outright suffering or horrors, it was still bleak and lifeless. Hades was generally thought to have selected the worst of the domains. Zeus drew the sky, Poseidon the seas and all waters, and Hades the gloomy Underworld buried deep within the earth. They also distributed power among themselves, drawing lots to determine their domains. According to Homer’s Iliad, the victorious brothers-Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades-took advantage of their male privilege and distributed power among the gods and goddesses. Led by the mighty Zeus, Hades and his siblings took part in the Titanomachy-a cataclysmic struggle between the old gods, the Titans, and the new gods, the Olympians. Hades was sometimes said to have fathered several mythical figures, among them the Erinyes (also called “the Furies”), female spirits of vengeance and punishment Zagreus, a mysterious chthonic deity Melinoe, another chthonic deity and Macaria, an Underworld deity associated with the fortunate dead. Hades’ bride and queen was Persephone, whom Hades had kidnapped, though she only lived with him for part of the year. Eventually, Hades and his siblings were rescued by Zeus, the youngest child of Cronus and Rhea, who forced Cronus to regurgitate the children he had swallowed and took the mantle of “ruler of the universe” for himself. Like his first four brothers and sisters- Hestia, Demeter, Hera, and Poseidon-Hades was swallowed shortly after his birth by Cronus, the lord of the universe, who had received a prophecy that one of his children would overthrow him. FamilyĪccording to the poet Hesiod, Hades was the first male child of the Titans Cronus and Rhea. Hades could also be symbolized by a number of animals, such as snakes, roosters, or screech owls, as well as certain plants, such as the cypress, mint, and asphodel. He is often seated on a throne with Cerberus, the three-headed dog, crouched menacingly at his side. In the artistic representations we do encounter, Hades appears as either a young man or with a dark beard. Hades was so terrifying to the Greeks that he was almost never depicted in ancient art. 1st century CE Roman copy of Greek original. Statuette of Pluto (Roman Hades) holding a cornucopia. Among the other attributes of Hades were a scepter, the keys to the Underworld, a cornucopia, and Cerberus, the three-headed guard dog of the dead. Hades was often represented riding a chariot driven by pitch-black horses. In one famous myth, he let the hero Perseus borrow this helmet so that he could sneak up on and kill Medusa. Perhaps as an extension of his name, usually thought to mean “the unseen one,” Hades was said to possess a helmet of invisibility. Hades was regarded as a dark, merciless god. But Hades was also a god of wealth and fertility since good things like crops and precious metals came to mortals from his underground realm. Hades was, first and foremost, the god of death: it was he who ruled the Underworld, and indeed, his name was synonymous with the Underworld. Hades was known by several epithets, including agēsandros and agesilaos (meaning “he who leads people away”), polysēmantōr and polydegmōn (“ruler of many” or “host of many”), klymenos (“the notorious”), and eubuleus (“giver of good advice”). The name Plouton was inherited by the Romans, whose god Pluto possessed the same characteristics as Hades. 490–323 BCE), the god’s name had evolved into Hades.įearful of speaking the name of the god of death, the Greeks took to calling Hades by the alternative euphemistic name Plouton, meaning “wealthy.” This other name presumably reflected the fact that the Greeks’ riches, such as crops and precious metals, came from below the earth. Another common poetic alternative was Aidoneus. The earliest attested form of the name, used in Homeric and Ionic Greek, was Aïdēs. In antiquity, Hades’ name was generally interpreted as meaning “the unseen” or “the invisible one.” This is a rare case where the original, folk etymology seems to have been correct: modern scholars have traced the name “Hades” to the Proto-Indo-European word * ṇ-uid-, meaning “unseen.” Pronunciation ![]() The name had evolved into its more familiar form, Hades (Ἅιδης), by the Classical period (ca. The earliest documented version of the name “Hades” was Aïdēs (Ἀΐδης), used in the Homeric epics the Iliad and the Odyssey (eighth century BCE). ![]() ![]() ![]() Since Google decided to make all of the Nest Wifi Pro units identical, each one can cover up to 2,200 square feet and a three-pack can fill a 6,600 square foot home with a strong Wi-Fi signal. Google’s first mesh Wi-Fi system also introduced the idea of scanning QR codes at the base of each unit to add them to your network. The original Google Wifi helped set itself apart from the pack through its simple setup process which involved using the Google Wifi App (now known as the Google Home app). However, Nest Wifi blends in a bit easier thanks to its matte finish while the Nest Wifi Pro’s glossy finish makes the satellites stand out more. While Nest Wifi was only available in Mist (light blue), Sand (light pink) and Snow (white), the Nest Wifi Pro is available in Snow (white), Fog (light blue), Linen (beige) and Lemongrass (Iight yellow).īoth the Nest Wifi and Nest Wifi Pro are beautiful devices. As such, the Nest Wi-Fi Pro has a glossy finish and comes in even more colors. Unlike with one of the best Wi-Fi routers, mesh routers can’t be tucked away in a corner since the satellites need to be spread throughout your home for better Wi-Fi coverage. Most other mesh Wi-Fi systems only allow you to use two satellites alongside a router. The reason being is that “adding more may be detrimental to Wi-Fi performance,” according to the company. Google recommends adding no more than five points to a single network for a total of six units (1 router + 5 points). ![]() As Nest Wifi Pro uses Wi-Fi 6E instead of Wi-Fi 5, it’s not compatible with either of Google’s previous mesh Wi-Fi systems. This means that those who are upgrading from the company’s first mesh Wi-Fi system can use their old units to expand their Wi-Fi coverage. Another big difference between the Nest Wifi Pro and Nest Wifi is the fact that Nest Wifi is also compatible with Google Wifi. Unlike the Nest Wifi, all of the units are identical and can act as either a router or a satellite during setup. While these are the list prices for all of these devices, they will likely go on sale or be permanently discounted in the future as Google’s main focus is now the Nest Wifi Pro.Ī single Nest Wifi Pro costs $199 while a two-pack costs $299 and a three-pack costs $399. Meanwhile, a single Nest Wifi router costs $169 while a router and a single point costs $269 and a router and two points costs $349.
