Feeling that their prejudices had been exposed, they ended up swiftly conceding the videographer’s obvious point: gay people were born gay just like straight people were born straight. Responses were varied, with most saying something like, “It’s a combination of nature and nurture.” The interviewer then asked a follow-up question, which was crucial to the experiment: “When did you choose to be straight?” Most were taken back, confessing, rather sheepishly, never to have thought about it. It feels as if heterosexuality has always “just been there.”Ī few years ago, there began circulating a “man on the street” video, in which the creator asked people if they thought homosexuals were born with their sexual orientations. That can’t be right! Well, it certainly doesn’t feel right. Whenever I tell this to people, they respond with dramatic incredulity. The 1901 Dorland’s Medical Dictionary defined heterosexuality as an “abnormal or perverted appetite toward the opposite sex.” More than two decades later, in 1923, Merriam Webster’s dictionary similarly defined it as “morbid sexual passion for one of the opposite sex.” It wasn’t until 1934 that heterosexuality was graced with the meaning we’re familiar with today: “manifestation of sexual passion for one of the opposite sex normal sexuality.” This story is featured in BBC Future’s “Best of 2017” collection. In order for her faith to survive, Rachel realizes, it must adapt to change and evolve. In Faith Unraveled, Rachel recounts growing up in a culture obsessed with apologetics, and struggling as her own faith unraveled, one unexpected question at a time.

Since its available in English now, I won't spoil any further details. It's certainly one of the better ones in general. While this isn't my favourite of the Hohlbein books (that honour belongs to Labyrinth of Horus), The finale even takes more than a little bit of inspiration from that film! In fact, the level of gruesomeness can be on par with Temple of Doom. There's a sense of humour consisting of plenty exaggerations and sarcastic descriptions.Īt the same time, it's not a comedy. The writing (in Dutch) is very entertaining. Indy gets beat up (a lot!!) and gets scared as well.īut just as we know and love him, he perseveres all the same and comes out on top in the end. What it IS, is a straightforward adventure with a very human hero. And it's less philosophical than Caidin too. I'm lucky to have all his books in Dutch, but I just discovered *this* one was translated to ENGLISH on the 22nd of March this year!Ĭompared to McGregor, there is a lot less historical detail involved. Just finished reading his chronological first Indiana Jones one, set in 1929-1932. That stark reality is the taking-off point for “ Capital in the Twenty-First Century,” a nimble and eye-opening documentary that puts you in the revelatory position of looking back over the last 300 years - where we’ve been and where we’re going - from a God’s-eye economic view. Their lives, in effect, were a death sentence. (Not that being a landed servant was any picnic.) They existed in poverty, without health care or schooling or much of anything else. In Europe, the majority of people were hand-to-mouth laborers who drifted from place to place, lacking the benefits of being landed servants. It was about the staggering inequality that society was built on. (You read that right.) No, this wasn’t just about the fact that human beings back then tended to live less long. Do you know what the average life expectancy was in the 18th century? It was 17. Their alliance blossoms into trust, then love, violating the fair folks’ ruthless Good Law. Waylaid by the Wild Hunt’s ghostly hounds, the tainted influence of the Alder King, and hideous monsters risen from barrow mounds, Isobel and Rook depend on one another for survival. Furious and devastated, Rook spirits her away to the autumnlands to stand trial for her crime. She paints mortal sorrow in his eyes – a weakness that could cost him his life. But when she receives her first royal patron-Rook, the autumn prince-she makes a terrible mistake. They crave human Craft with a terrible thirst, and Isobel’s paintings are highly prized among them. Isobel is a prodigy portrait artist with a dangerous set of clients: the sinister fair folk, immortal creatures who cannot bake bread, weave cloth, or put a pen to paper without crumbling to dust. 5/22/2023 0 Comments Frank miller lynn varley 300“Right now, there's nothing like an Emmylou, really,” he says. Miller had someone like that once, but they split up years ago. They are often bloodied but always uncompromising. His characters are fighters, loners fueled by an inner sense of justice starkly at odds with the reality around them. The film of his graphic novel 300 made Zack Synder an A-list director and engendered a spate of imposters seeking to recapture its blockbuster success. He created the indie comic Sin City, a black-and-white noir anthology series that he later turned into a big-budget movie with codirector Robert Rodriguez. His 1986 breakthrough, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, recast the squeaky-clean superhero as a gritty urban warrior and helped comic-book trade paperbacks storm bookstores for the first time. Miller possesses a brutal, muscular worldview-of vigilantes pushed to the edge by a fallen society-that has resonated throughout popular culture over the past three decades. But don't let his frail carriage fool you. He's got a bad cough from a lingering cold. He has a red-flecked beard and gentle, watery eyes, and his longish hair peeks out from under a straw hat. He's sitting in his studio in the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood of Manhattan. He is the Batman, as drawn by Frank Miller, and he is on the T-shirt that Frank Miller is wearing. His clothes are torn, and one eye is swelling shut, but his fists are clenched. We see the middle-aged man crouching in pain, alone. 5/21/2023 0 Comments Cloche and Dagger by Jenn McKinlayAlthough Scarlett assures Harrison Wentworth, her fianc, that she and Viv will stay out of harms way, circumstances force them to step in when a secret affair between the deceased groom and a bridesmaid comes to light, and the murderer takes another life.

There he becomes friend and teacher to the young Dalai Lama. In his native Alps, the renowned mountaineer completed his dramatic story: trapped by the outbreak of war while mountaineering in India, Harrer escapes a British prisoner-of-war camp, and survives a two-year flight through the Himalayas to Lhasa. A newly independent India, fearing the Red Army now at its border, soon ordered Harrer home to Austria and a war-devastated Europe. In the summer of 1951, Heinrich Harrer began writing his classic Seven Years in Tibet in a hotel room in Kalimpong, India, only months after fleeing the Chinese invasion of Tibet. 5/21/2023 0 Comments Anne rice cry to heavenIn Cry to Heaven, which may be her best work fashioned outside her sagas, Rice reveals her considerable range in subject matter, but in using a castrato hero.
