What did gladiators do when they wanted to admit defeat?

Answer: The fights between gladiators in ancient Rome were brutal. It was not like a football game (American or otherwise) where it would be assumed that both sides would go home with just a couple of bruises. Death was a fairly common occurrence at a gladiatorial game, but that doesn't mean it was inevitable. One gladiator might be lying prone in the blood-absorbing sand of the arena, with the other gladiator holding a sword (or whichever weapon he was assigned) at his throat. Instead of simply plunging in the weapon and consigning his opponent to death, the winning gladiator would look for a signal to tell him what to do.     The winning gladiator would get his signal—not from the crowd as illustrated in the famous 19th century painting by Jean-Léon Gérôme (1824–1904)—but rather from the referee of the game, the editor (or editor muneris), who might also be a senator, emperor or another politico. He was the one to make the final decisions about the fates of the gladiators in the arena. However, since the games were meant to curry public favor, the editor had to pay attention to the wishes of the audience. Much of the audience attended such brutal events for the single purpose of witnessing the bravery of a gladiator in the face of death.By the way, gladiators never said "Morituri te salutant" ("Those who are about to die salute you"). That was said once to Emperor Claudius (10 BC–54 CE) on the occasion of a staged naval battle, not gladiatorial combat.

Gladiatorial contests were dangerous and potentially fatal, but not as often fatal as Hollywood would have us believe: Gladiators were rented from their training school (ludus) and a good gladiator was expensive to replace, so most battles did not end in death. There were only two ways that a gladiatorial battle could be ended—either one gladiator won or it was a draw—but it was the editor who had the final say on whether the loser died on the field or went on to fight another day.

The editor had three established ways to make his decision.

He might have established rules (lex) in advance of the game. If the fight's sponsors wanted a fight to the death, they had to be willing to compensate the lanista (trainer) who had rented out the dead gladiator.

He could accept the surrender of one of the gladiators. After having lost or cast aside his weapons, the losing gladiator would fall to his knees and raise his index finger (ad digitatum).  

He could listen to the audience. When a gladiator went down, cries of Habet, Hoc habet! (He's had it!), and shouts of Mitte! (Let him go!) or Lugula! (Kill him!) could be heard.

A game that ended in death was known as a sine remissione (without dismissal).

Bhutan, a small country located in the Himalayan Mountains is a hidden gem of culture and traditions. History buffs and culture enthusiasts alike may not know how unique this small country really is. This is why I want to share a true account of something amazing that happened there. A few years ago, something unheard of happened in Bhutan. A group of women formed a group and began to fight against domestic violence. This decision was prompted by the passing of a law in 2005 that criminalized domestic violence and enacted punishments for those who were perpetrators. Afterward, the women began to take action and formed committees that focused on helping abused women in their villages. The amazing part of this story is the success that was soon after achieved. The word spread and the work of these brave women impacted over 500 villages. Women that were once victim to domestic violence started to speak out and began to gain a sense of empowerment. This movement also helped raise awareness on the issue, and the group even created a hotline that victims could call to get help. In conclusion, this story is a perfect example that shows how much power a group of people can have to make a difference in a positive way. Through their dedication and determination, these women in Bhutan were able to create a campaign that had changed the lives of many and still continues to do so.

Buried Underpants and Tea Bags Help Scientists Evaluate Soil
Swiss citizens are burying cotton underpants and tea bags in their gardens and fields to help
scientists assess the quality of soil in the Alpine nation.
1. Bury underpants and tea bags in your garden? Why not, thought scientist Marcel van der
Heijden of the University of Zurich. It may sound odd, but Swiss citizens are burying cotton
underwear and tea bags in their gardens, yards and fields to help researchers evaluate the quality
of soil in the Alpine nation. A joint venture of the University of Zurich and the Swiss federal
research institute Agroscope, “Proof By Underpants” is enlisting private gardeners, farmers and
other interested citizens, who bury cotton underpants throughout Switzerland, dig them up after
two months and photograph what is left. “The more degraded the underpants, the more active the
soil life and the healthier the soil,” according an online description of the project. “This
experiment will show whether the decomposition of cotton fabric by soil organisms is a suitable
indicator for soil life activity.”

2. Launched last year, the experiment comes against the backdrop of deteriorating soil quality in
many parts of the world due to erosion, construction, pesticides and drought. In mountainous
Switzerland, erosion is a particularly acute problem. “There are many issues linked to soil which
are very important for society,” van der Heijden said in an interview in his small office,
surrounded by folders, sheets and plants. “For instance, in Switzerland it is very hilly and
consequently there is a lot of erosion. It is important to have good soil structure to grow crops
and filter the water. Ninety-nine percent of our food production depends on soil.”

3. By enlisting citizens, researchers can cover the whole of Switzerland. The citizen science
project offers the advantage of informing participants of the state of their soil while providing the
scientists with data capturing variations across the country. Van der Heijden said the cheeky
approach of using underpants — What could be more common in households? — attracts
participants who might otherwise find the subject matter, well, just black and dirty, whereas soil
is CRITICAL for our survival.

4. Using high-tech equipment, scientists can examine soil to see if it is rich in nutrients and
bacteria. But it is time-consuming and expensive for them to collect samples across an entire
country. By enlisting citizens, the researchers extend their reach. “Everyone has a different way
of digging in their underpants, which leads to variation of the data, but without this huge

collaboration, the largest of its kind in Switzerland so far, we would never have been able to
measure the ground of the whole of Switzerland in a useful time,” van der Heijden said.

5. Cotton in underpants is biodegradable and made up of cellulose, which is devoured by
bacteria, fungi, insects, worms and other creatures in the soil. The more micro-organisms, the
quicker the slip disappears. Once the recommended type of tea — Lipton green tea or Rooibos, a
South African herbal tea — is buried 8 centimeters in the ground, it starts to decompose. The
more active the soil, the more the tea in the unused plastic tea bags DECAYS. Scientists are
using data from the Swiss experiment and elsewhere in the world to compile a Teabag Index and
draw a global soil map that can be used to improve global climate models.

Project 1: Modernized Version of Three Chapters of The Outsiders
While the theme of social classes extends across time, some of the specific instances and events
addressed in The Outsiders seem confined to America in the 1960s. Think about how Hinton's
novel could be updated for a modern-day audience. What social groups cause the most friction
today? How would this friction be demonstrated? What would be the consequences of their
feuding? Create a modern-day version of the first three chapters of The Outsiders. You may
create a written or a video version. Be sure to think about how to translate the novel into the
present day.
Answer the questions in the chart below to help you re-create a modern version of the first
three chapters of the novel.
