But it was a big story in Montana, big story nationally and internationally. And that´s an artifact that represents that story and so part of our role here is to make sure those things are preserved for future generations. It can still bring in megabucks."

ellauri100.html on line 565: It should be noted that my slightly positive score probably was influenced by the order in which choices were presented to me. Initially, pleasant concepts were associated with photos of European-Americans. I became used to that association, and so found that it affected my reaction time when I was faced with pairings of pleasant concepts and photos of African-Americans. The bottom line: My slight preference for European-Americans probably is an artifact of test design.
ellauri189.html on line 773: Some Pashtuns also have Jewish artifacts. For example, I heard first hand from a Lewani Pashtun that his grandmother had these jewelries: Afghan Taaweez or lockets to be worn around the neck, with Israeli star on them.
ellauri222.html on line 149: The subject of “Augie March” is the same as the subject of “Dangling Man” and “The Victim”: the danger of becoming trapped in other people’s definition of you. In the case of “Augie March,” the person in danger of being trapped was Saul Bellow. “This was not what being a novelist was supposed to have meant”: he is referring to the expectations of his intellectual backers. He realized that he didn’t want to be the great hope of the novel or to give voice to a generation’s angst. He wanted to write up the life he knew in the way James Joyce had written up the life he knew, and to transform it into a fantastic verbal artifact, a book that broke all the rules.
ellauri285.html on line 143: The Michigan Relics (also known as the Scotford Frauds or Soper Frauds) are a series of alleged ancient artifacts that were "discovered" during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. They were presented by some to be evidence that people of an ancient Near Eastern culture had lived in North America and the U.S. state of Michigan, which, is known as pre-Columbian contact. Many scholars have determined that the artifacts are archaeological forgeries. The Michigan Relics are considered to be one of the most elaborate and extensive pseudoarchaeological hoaxes ever perpetrated in American history.
ellauri285.html on line 149: In 1891, Professor Albert Emerson came out to the sites to get a better look at the "artifacts" that he called "bad enough in the photograph... an examination proved them to be humbugs of the first water."
ellauri389.html on line 89: The acceleration of capitalism is the natural result of spontaneous and inevitable consumer desire: with every bite of roast pig Bo-Bo's smell "was wonderfully sharpened," and as each villager becomes addicted to the flavor of roast pork "prices grow enormously dear". The word "porcelain" was be-stowed by the traders who introduced the artifact to Western markets. It derives from the Portuguese word for the pink translucent cowry seashells that in turn were named for baby pigs.
ellauri480.html on line 480: Arthur was the youngest son of a doting mother and a harsh father, two evils whereof each increased the other. He carried the innumerable secrets of my own furtive and ignoble adolescence locked in a silence which is not uncommonly thought effeminate. Arthur was not brilliant, and he started many projects but finished few. Beyond some minimal recognition as a landscape painter in the 1930s and 1940s, Arthur achieved no fame and produced few artifacts. He lived on income from his father’s flax spinning business.
ellauri483.html on line 630: Wyatt was working as a nurse anesthetist in a hospital in Madison, Tennessee, when, in 1960, he saw a picture in Life of the Durupınar site, a boat-like shape on a mountain near Mount Ararat. The Ark is a large aggregate structure in Doğubayazıt, Ağrı, Turkey. The resulting widespread speculation in evangelical Christian circles that this might be Noah's Ark started Wyatt on his career as an amateur archaeologist. From 1977 until his death, in 1999, he made more than a hundred trips to the Middle East, his interests widening to take in a great variety of references from the Old and New Testaments. By the time of his death, Wyatt claimed to have discovered several hundreds of sites and artifacts related to the Bible and biblical archaeology.
ellauri490.html on line 651: Short takeaway: Roth’s critique maps well. AI assistants are not autonomous agents but artifacts shaped by human and commercial forces that can—unless intentionally designed otherwise—mute boldness and critical intelligence in favor of safe, mainstream outputs.
ellauri496.html on line 310: It depicted Burmese women as submissive "Burma girls" awaiting the prickly dicks of European suitors, reinforcing colonial nostalgia by idealizing the colony as an erotic idyll amid Britain's imperial zenith and subsequent decline, reflecting colonial soldiers' sentiments during Britain's 1885 annexation of Upper Burma. Postcolonial critiques, often rooted in academic paradigms emphasizing power asymmetries, have been selectively framing such innocent artifacts as propaganda while downplaying their basis in firsthand accounts from the era's 40,000 British troops in Burma, concludes Grokipedia. Se, että burmalainen tyttö edusti alempiarvoisia ja brittisotilas ylempiarvoisia rotuja, on toissijaista, koska Kipling korostaa tässä ihmissuhteita,  ei imperialistisia suhteita.
ellauri498.html on line 497: Claims of direct connections to biblical figurines like the high priest Hilkiah (active ca. 640–609 BCE) remain unsubstantiated, as no inscriptions, temple-related artifacts, freshly written scrolls, or elite administrative remains have surfaced to support such links. Mostly worthless arab junk has been found.
ellauri499.html on line 312: On January 30, 2026, the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) released a portion of the Epstein files that mention the word "Baal". Some online claims attach the worship of Baal to satanic rituals and the occult, and link it to allegations involving American financer and child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein; however, the released materials provide no clear evidentiary basis for that inference. The appearance is said to be consistent with financial-document field text and, in at least one widely circulated example, appears to be an optical character recognition (OCR) or scanning artifact in which "Bank Name" is misread as "Baal. hashem".
ellauri499.html on line 382: So Israel put away the Baals and especially  the Astartes, and they served the Lord  (Adonai, not Baal) only. Tollaset pikku pazaat ja kotijumalat olivat kuin essoja. Emotional support stone artifacts.
ellauri503.html on line 301: The tea towel was stolen and taken to Western Europe, eventually being sold to King Louis IX of France. He built the famous Sainte-Chapelle in Paris specifically to house the Mandylion and the Crown of Thorns. The cloth remained a prize of the French monarchy until the French Revolution. In 1792, revolutionaries stormed the royal treasury, looking to destroy religious artifacts and melt down gold reliquaries.
ellauri505.html on line 139: If this popped up in a previous message, it was likely an accidental mistranslation, a misinterpretation of a Finnish phrase, or an autocorrect artifact.
xxx/ellauri085.html on line 122: Between 1947 and 1950 the workshop produced five films under Peterson's guidance that were influential on the burgeoning American avant-garde cinema, and significant artifacts of the San Francisco Renaissance. In the years that followed, Peterson worked as a consultant for the Museum of Modern Art, made a series of documentary films, penned a novel (A Fly in the Pigment, 1961) and a memoir (The Dark of the Screen, 1980), and worked at Walt Disney Productions as a scriptwriter and storyboard artist on the never completed sequel to Fantasia.
xxx/ellauri103.html on line 202: The author of Who Owns Culture? Appropriation and Authenticity in American Law, Susan Scafidi, a law professor at Fordham University who for the record is white, defines cultural appropriation as “taking intellectual property, traditional knowledge, cultural expressions, or artifacts from someone else’s culture without permission. This can include unauthorised use of another culture’s dance, dress, music, language, folklore, cuisine, traditional medicine, religious symbols, etc.”
xxx/ellauri136.html on line 119: The magical community is treated as “more special” than the “normal” community, which is treated with distrust and disdain. Although I love the Weasleys, it’s entirely possible that Mr. Weasley’s obsession with non-magical ephemera could be viewed as the anthropologist exploring a primitive culture. Mr. Weasley collects artifacts because he is fascinated with them, not because he wants to understand non-magical culture better. That should be totally off-putting to the liberal crowd, but they missed it. They are too busy justifying the racism and bigotry as the product of the “pure blood” families.
xxx/ellauri166.html on line 75: Sampo, a magical artifact of indeterminate type constructed by Ilmarinen that brought riches and good fortune to its holder, in the Finnish epic poetry Kalevala (The Forging of the Sampo, Joseph Alanen, 1911) Sampo on myymässä osakkeitaan Nordeassa. Sampo! kuului mielevällä äänellä Gretan pihasta takavuosina.
xxx/ellauri250.html on line 440: "The characters are mere digital figures for a cinematic algorithm." Että kehtaakin jenkki tämmöstä vielä sanoa, jenkkileffat ne vasta on koneella veisattuja täysin klisheisine hahmoineen, ota vaikka Netflixin menesstyssarja Wednesday. Ja tää on ehkä pahin pohjanoteeraus kaikista, mistä näkyy Amerikan oma täydellinen aateköyhyys: "Yet even the grand humanistic reverberations of ancient artifacts (ne kivipiirustuxet joite ei edes jään alta nähnyt) leave Kuosmanen’s directorial gaze uninspired, even uninterested."
xxx/ellauri312.html on line 622: Rorty narrates that the West’s first redemptive principle was man’s relationship with God, the guarantor of universal truth, meaning, and salvation. God was eventually dethroned by the Truth of philosophy, as heralded by the Enlightenment and the scientific revolution. Truth’s goal was to decipher reality’s blueprint. At present, the truth is being nudged over by the Imagination. The modern imagination aspires to enlarge our acquaintance with humanity and enrich ethical relations. Rorty argues that a culture of imagination can serve the redemptive purposes previously ministered by religion and truth, only in a manner more suited to a liberal, secular context. He calls this a literary culture, a culture where meaningful human relationships are ‘‘mediated by human artifacts such as books and buildings, paintings and songs’’ (TRR, p. 478). For Rorty, the literary culture may successfully usher a new world motivated by the ideal of human solidarity.
xxx/ellauri450.html on line 69: I know that I am conscious (I think) and have a self, even though Dawkins--along with many arch materialists--doesn't believe that consciousness is real or that the self is anything but a chemical illusion created in the brain. The world in general has meaning, deep meaning at times. This cannot be dismissed as a god delusion, an artifact of chemicals.
