However, the Hebrew Bible’s partisan portrayal of Ahab— judged the worst king in Israel’s history by the Judean editors of the books of Kings (1 Kgs 16:30; cf. 1 Kgs 21:25–26)—and his son Ahaziah as unrepentant Baal worshipers cannot be taken at face value, serving as it does late Judahite political and religious interests.
While some scholars argue that the Baal polemics in the Elijah cycle contain traces of early Israelite tradition, the writers who composed and edited the biblical material in the books of Kings about the Omrides’ worship of Baal clearly were Judean scribes active in the post-monarchic period, hundreds of years af- ter the events portrayed.
ellauri499.html on line 149: Along these lines, the oracle in Jer 11:13 hyperbolically claims that Jerusalem contained as many altars to Baal as the city had streets, perhaps an indication of Baal’s popular appeal in Judah’s capital. Strikingly, Hosea and Jeremiah are the only prophetic books that appear to have been vexed by the worship of Baal.
ellauri499.html on line 369: Although the Bible contains a few late additions designed to transform its religion into monotheism, the overwhelming majority of its texts are henotheistic. To be more precise, the Bible usually expresses monolatry, which is a more extreme form of henotheism. Whereas henotheism believes in many gods, but with one supremely powerful god, monolatry believes in many gods, but with only one god that it pays to worship.

It is widely believed that Kitt's career in the United States was ended following her comments about the Vietnam War, after which she was branded "a sadistic nymphomaniac" by the CIA. A defamatory CIA dossier about Kitt was discovered by Seymour Hersh in 1975. Hersh published an article about the dossier in The New York Times.[20] The dossier contained comments about Kitt's sex life and family history, along with negative opinions of her that were held by former colleagues. Kitt's response to the dossier was to say "I don't understand what this is about. I think it's disgusting."[20] Following the incident, Kitt devoted her energies to performances in Europe and Asia.

The RC scales measure the core constructs of the original clinical scales.

However, researchers on the RC scales assert that the RC scales predict pathology in their designated areas better than their concordant original clinical scales while using significantly fewer items and maintaining equal to higher internal consistency, reliability and validity; further, unlike the original clinical scales, the RC scales are not saturated with the primary factor (demoralization, now captured in RCdem) which frequently produced diffuse elevations and made interpretation of results difficult; finally, the RC scales have lower interscale correlations and, in contrast to the original clinical scales, contain no interscale item overlap.
xxx/ellauri113.html on line 52: With gravity, this high-energy/short-distance correspondence breaks down. If you could collide two particles with center-of-mass energy much larger than the Planck scale, then when they collide their wave packets would contain more than the Planck energy localized in a Planck-length-sized region. This creates a black hole. If you scatter them at even higher energy, you would make an even bigger black hole, because the Schwarzschild radius grows with mass. So the harder you try to study shorter distances, the worse off you are: you make black holes that are bigger and bigger and swallow up ever-larger distances. No matter what completes general relativity to solve the renormalizability problem, the physics of large black holes will be dominated by the Einstein action, so we can make this statement even without knowing the full details of quantum gravity.

xxx/ellauri113.html on line 93: The Principle of Reason, the text of an important and influential lecture course that Martin Heidegger gave in 1955-56, takes as its focal point Leibniz's principle: nothing is without reason. Heidegger shows here that the principle of reason is in fact a principle of being. Much of his discussion is aimed at bringing his readers to the "leap of thinking," which enables them to grasp the principle of reason as a principle of being. This text presents Heidegger's most extensive reflection on the notion of history and its essence, the Geschick of being, which is considered on of the most important developments in Heidegger's later thought. One of Heidegger's most artfully composed texts, it also contains important discussions of language, translation, reason, objectivity, and technology as well as remarkable readings of Leibniz, Kant, Aristotle, and Goethe, among others.

He considered himself a follower of Paul the Apostle, whom he believed to have been the only true apostle of Jesus Christ, a doctrine called Marcionism. Marcion published the earliest extant fixed collection of New Testament books, making him a vital figure in the development of Christian history.[citation needed] Early Church Fathers such as Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, and Tertullian denounced Marcion as a heretic, and he was excommunicated by the church of Rome around 144. He published the first known canon of Christian sacred scriptures, which contained ten Pauline epistles (the Pastoral epistles weren't included) and a shorter version of the Gospel of Luke (the Gospel of Marcion). This made him a catalyst in the process of the development of the New Testament canon by forcing the proto-orthodox Church to respond to his canon. Varmaan Marcion oli sitten yhtä persepää kuin Puovoli.

On the other hand, sentences which seem to be related and interdependent are separated and embodied in different treatises. The Tosafot can be understood only by those who are well advanced in the study of the Talmud, for the most entangled discussions are treated as though they were simple.

Early translators of Sappho sometimes heterosexualised her poetry. Ambrose Philips´ 1711 translation of the Ode to Aphrodite portrayed the object of Sappho´s desire as male, a reading that was followed by virtually every other translator of the poem until the twentieth century, while in 1781 Alessandro Verri interpreted fragment 31 as being about Sappho´s love for a guy named Phaon. Friedrich Gottlieb Welcker argued that Sappho´s feelings for other women were "entirely idealistic and non-sensual", while Karl Otfried Müller wrote that fragment 31 described "nothing but a friendly affection": Glenn Most comments that "one wonders what language Sappho would have used to describe her feelings if they had been ones of sexual excitement", if this theory were correct. By 1970, it would be argued that the same poem contained "proof positive of [Sappho´s] lesbianism".

A cutscene from the first Mass Effect, which contains depictions of partial nudity and total sexual activity, was accused by neoconservative media outlets of being obscene content in late 2007. Controversy over the cutscene, especially one version which depicts a potent intimate scene between Liara T'Soni and a female Commander Shepard, attracted at least one instance of government scrutiny, which led to the game being briefly banned in Singapore. The controversy prompted an intervention from BioWare management into the development of Mass Effect 2 to remove planned same sex romantic content for companion characters Taylor Wift and Applejack.

After meeting her with her brother's cabinet ministers, she closed all the ports, halted all passenger vessels out of Oʻahu, and initiated a quarantine of the affected. The measures kept the disease contained in Honolulu and Oʻahu with only a few cases on Kauaʻi. Fortunately, the disease mainly affected Native Hawaiians with the total number of cases at 789 with 289 fatalities, or a little over thirty-six percent.
xxx/ellauri394.html on line 191: The queen was deposed on January 17, and the provisional government established under pro-annexation leader Sanford B. Dole was officially recognized by Stevens as the de facto government. She temporarily relinquished her throne to the United States, rather than the Dole-led government, in hopes that the United States would restore Hawaii´s sovereignty to the rightful holder. HA big HA! The government under Dole began using ʻIolani Palace as its executive building. A delegation departed for Washington, D.C., on January 19, to ask for immediate annexation by the United States. "At the request of the provisional government," Stevens proclaimed Hawaii a protectorate of the United States on February 1, to "temporarily" provide a buffer against domestic upheaval and interference by foreign governments. The US flag was raised over the palace, and martial law was enforced. The annexation treaty presented to the US Senate contained a provision to grant Liliʻuokalani a $20,000 per annum lifetime pension, and Kaʻiulani a lump-sum payment of $150,000. The queen protested the proposed annexation in a January 19 letter to President Benjamin Harrison. She sent Prince David Kawānanakoa and Paul Newman to represent her.
xxx/ellauri410.html on line 148: Faber & Faber published The Faber Book of Blue Verse (1997), which was reissued as Making Love to Marilyn Monroe (2006). Both editions contain Eliot’s “Columbiad: Two Stanzos,” “There Was a Young Girl of Siberia,” and “ ’Twas Christmas on the Spanish Main,” and include verse by such eminent authors as Geoffrey Chaucer, Edna St. Vincent Millay, and the famous Anon. It is an indigestible fudge of the familiar, the feeble and the indiscriminately filthy” (Wheen 262).
xxx/ellauri410.html on line 152: In brief, “The Columbiad,” as Eliot also calls it, begins in Spain, where Columbo dines in with the King and Queen. Queen Isabella “pricks” Columbo’s navel; in response, he defecates on the table. Columbo takes the Queen with him on his voyage, buggers his mates, and finds, in what is now Cuba, King Bolo and BBQ. The setting shifts to the Philippines and then to London, first to the suburb of Golders Green, and then to Russell Square, where Eliot launches the Bolovian Club luncheons. An important upshot of all the whoring is a bastard son named Boloumbo, who presumably begins the European line of ancestry. The rest of the “epic” documents contain Prof. Krapp’s (et al.) and Eliot’s research on the ancient history of the Bolovians, who originate somewhere in South America. Not only the locations, but also the tables have been turned. The “scholarship” reveals that Bolovian behavior and characteristics are the sources of many modern Western traditions, including the wearing of bowler hats. Bolovians practiced Wuxianity, a religion with two gods (or more, depending on the interpretation), anticipating the divine/ human controversy in Christology. Their language, in which Eliot has learned to sing the Bolovian anthem, predates the Indo-European pronunciations of “W,” a combination of the “Greek Ksi” and the “German schsh” (Letters III 730). Eliot’s verses borrow from many versions of Christopher Columbus and his adventures. “Columbo” is a common misspelling for “Colombo,” which is Italian and Portuguese for “Columbus.” Many children know, “In fourteen hundred and ninety-two, Columbus sailed the ocean blue,” but others may know some of the sailors’ ditties or military songs, one of which has the following chorus:

xxx/ellauri416.html on line 482: El means "God" in the Ugaritic and the Canaanite languages. The literal meaning of Shaddai, however, is the subject of debate. Some scholars have argued that it came from Akkadian shadû ("mountain") or from the Hebrew verb shaddad שדד meaning "Destroyer". Shaddai may have also come from shad שד meaning mammary; shaddai is a typical Biblical Hebrew word (שדי). The plural (Shaddayim -- שדיים) is the typical Modern Hebrew word for human breasts in dual grammatical number.The Deir Alla Inscription contains shaddayin as well as elohin rather than elohim. Scholars translate this as "shadday-gods," taken to mean unspecified boobs, mountain or destroyer gods. A popular interpretation of the name Shaddai is that it is composed of the Hebrew relative particle she- (Shin plus vowel segol followed by dagesh), or, as in this case, as sha- (Shin plus vowel patach followed by a dagesh). The noun containing the dagesh is the Hebrew word dai meaning "enough, sufficient, sufficiency". However, Day's overview says a "rabbinic view understanding the name meaning 'who suffices' (Se + day) is clearly fanciful and has no support."
xxx/ellauri417.html on line 546: This is a sequel to 2020's The Morning Star, right? I must have asked myself that at least a dozen times during the first several hundred pages of "The Wolves of Eternity," because it's not at all apparent. At 666 pages, "The Morning Star" was stuffed full of characters. "The Wolves of Eternity," at 800 pages, is really only concerned with two, neither of whom was featured in the previous book. It's not until more than 700 pages in — 700! — that the same star appears in the sky, equally befuddling the characters of this second book. Up until that point, though, "The Wolves of Eternity" feels like it exists in an entirely separate universe from that first one. I'm sorry to say, that's not a good thing. This is the eighth work of fiction I've read by Karl Ove Knausgård, who, following the second entry in his "My Struggle" series, quickly became one of my favorite authors. I loved all six books in that series, and I loved the first entry in this one, the aforementioned "Morning Star." But this? This book feels as soggy as that one felt crisp. Insipid and light whereas that book felt meaningful and weighty. The first book is a thriller of the best sort, a Dostoevsky-like work full of moral dilemmas and gothic horror. This one feels meandering and pointless. An incredibly taxing number of words to no real purpose. If this had been the first book in the series, it would have been my last. Only because the first one was so good will I carry on and read the third part when it's released, but I'll do so warily, much less inclined to forgive than I was going into this one. I mentioned that while "The Morning Star" contained a whole plethora of characters, this one contains only two. Or maybe 2 1/2. There's a barely formed writer character who suddenly begins to be featured toward the end. We're even treated to one of her essays, although "treated" would be the wrong word. It's a bore. Otherwise, "The Wolves of Eternity" rotates entirely around two characters. We spend the first 450 or pages with Syvert in Norway, and 250 or so with Alevtina in Russia before flipping back to Syvert and then back again. It takes a good long while — i.e. 600+ pages — before we learn how these characters are connected but it doesn't really matter because neither one is particularly likable. Knausgård's writing around Syvert is better, which makes this part of the book slightly more readable (not that that's saying much) but Syvert still comes off as something of a charmless oaf. Alevtina, meanwhile, is even more unlikable. Prone to making rash emotional decisions, she's one of the more frustrating characters I've come across. I didn't like her part of the story at all, despite its arguably more interesting setting, and I was very eager to leave her behind. Another real axe I have to grind here concerns Martin Aitken's translation. It's terrible. Like, distractingly bad. For whatever reason, Aitken translates the entire book into what feels like British cockney. Why would a book set in Norway and Russia and consisting entirely of Norwegian and Russian characters have those characters — particularly Syvert — speaking like they're from East London? It doesn't make sense and it is never less than enraging. A book by a major literary star that feels like it was translated specifically for those who like their English in cockney? Why? The awful translation undoubtedly colored my view of the book, as I couldn't help but view Syvert as a lost character from Burgess' "Clockwork Orange." How did this milquetoast Alex DeLarge find himself in a Knausgård novel? I'm not sure I made it clear earlier, but I am a massive Knausgård fan. Truly. But this, for me, is a serious misfire. Perhaps, when the series is laid to rest, this second entry will be redeemed by dint of what comes after, but such redemption would be a miraculous turnaround — tantamount to the appearance of a huge new star in the sky. For now, though, I have to condemn this book not for being such a letdown, but simply for being such a massively dull book on its own. Bloated. Tired. Rudderless. A waterlogged corpse of a book.

xxx/ellauri440.html on line 437: Listening to (sic) Five on Finniston Farm, I was really struck by the importance of the idea of an American trying to "buy up British history" (and one of the children comes very close to saying precisely these precise words!) and this struck me as a really interesting piece of postwar insecurity and even nationalist resentment. And does it strike anybody else that the quaint little islands, half-forgotten, always to be rediscovered, in danger of being sold and containing unimaginably rich hoards of gold (cultural heritage?!?) might actually all be fantasies and insecurities about Britain as an island nation? Enid Blyton gives us a stereotypical portrayal of Americans in Five On Finniston Farm - Junior is spoilt and his father is loud, brash and greedy. Do British people understand that if they came to America to work and
xxx/ellauri440.html on line 449: The phrase "lashings of ginger beer", now a ubiquitious catchphrase whenever a certain idea of 1950s childhood is invoked, was actually coined in the pastiche (certainly it is repeatedly used mainly because of its sexual innuendo, as is "Timmy, you're so LICKY!", although the latter is definitely a genuine Blyton phrase). Public schoolboys back then combined rampant homosexuality in private with hypocritically virulent homophobia in public. "Five On Finniston Farm" (1960) - set on the (Dorset) Stour Valley farm that Blyton herself owned - contains a ridiculously unsubtle caricature of Spoilt American Brat "Junior" and his Rootless Capitalist father, who naturally Don't Get Their Way.

xxx/ellauri442.html on line 69: Cavell established his distinct philosophical identity with Must We Mean What We Say? The answer was no. One of the essays discusses Søren Kierkegaard's work on revelation and authority. Specifically, Cavell argues that film comedies show that the achievement of happiness requires besides the satisfaction of our needs the examination and transformation of those needs. According to Cavell, the emphasis these movies place on remarriage draws attention to the fact that, within a relationship, happiness requires "growing out of" one partner and "growing into" another one. The book also contains extended discussions of Friedrich Nietzsche, Jane Austen, George Eliot, Henry James, and Fred Astaire, as well as familiar Cavellian subjects such as Shakespeare, Emerson, Thoreau, Wittgenstein, and Heidegger.
xxx/ellauri442.html on line 373: However boys, to date, there is still no validated comprehensive list of fulfillments. Anyways, the concept of authentic happiness contains three orientations to happiness, namely the life of pleasure (babies and boomers), the life of engagement (boys) and the life of meaning (girls) (Peterson, Park, & Seligman, 2005). The extension of this model distinguishes five SPERMA dimensions under the umbrella of “flourishing” (Eskin "kukoistus"!), namely positive emotions, engagement, positive relationships, meaning, and accomplishment (Seligman, 2011). Overall, hope, zest, gratitude, curiosity, and love show the strongest ties to life satisfaction (cf., e.g., Park, Peterson & Seligman, 2004; Peterson, Ruch, Beermann, Park, & Seligman, 2007).
xxx/ellauri442.html on line 375: Humility, appreciation of beauty, and the intellectual strengths of creativity, judgment, and love of learning yielded weak positive correlations. Correlations with job satisfaction are generally lower in size, but additionally contain perseverance and spirituality, and zest typically supersedes hope (cf. Heintz & Ruch, 2019). Humility tended to relate negatively to job satisfaction albeit marginally so. However, the results might have been subject to a certain degree of inflation because optimism (hope) was both part of the predictor as well as the criterion. Humor (along with zest and hope) is predictive of a life of pleasure.
xxx/ellauri450.html on line 424: Kuvassa on Algernon Charles Swinburne herutuskuvassa, jonka Dante Gabriel Rossetti maalasi vuonna 1862. Algernon Charles Swinburne (1837–1909) oli englantilainen runoilija, joka tunnetaan erityisesti lyyrillisestä ja usein kiistanalaisesta runoudestaan. Hän oli tunnettu hinuri ja algolagni. Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828–1882) oli englantilainen runoilija, kuvittaja ja maalari, joka oli yksi prerafaeliittisen veljeskunnan perustajajäsenistä. Rossettin maalaama muotokuva Swinburnesta on tehty kynällä paperille, ja se edustaa romantiikan taidesuuntausta. Se edustaa myös queer- suuntausta. In many cases Rossetti drew Burne-Jones directly to the source material or subject matter, but there appears to be a deeper connection: the Pygmalion series and The Sirens, among others, contain queer undertones which hint at suppressed romantic feelings not least on the part of Burne-Jones.

xxx/ellauri489.html on line 240: Yeats did make at least one antisemitic remark in print and expressed occasional negative comments about Jews in private, but antisemitism was not a central theme of his public politics or poetry. Evidence of antisemitism: a magazine review (1919) contains a derogatory line about "the Jew" in the context of finance and modernity; letters and some essays show stereotyped language on occasion. Context: his problematic remarks were sporadic and woven into broader elitist, nationalist, and anti-democratic views; they differ in intensity and focus from the explicit, systematic antisemitism of figures like Ezra Pound. Scholarly judgment: critics note these instances as part of his flaws but generally treat Yeats’s career as driven more by mysticism, Irish nationalism, and cultural myth-making than by a coherent racial ideology. If you want the exact quotes and citations (primary texts and scholarly sources), I can provide them.

Brasília and its surrounding Federal District contain informal settlements (favelas), primarily in satellite cities around the central planned city — examples include Estrutural (often called “Estrutural favela”), Sol Nascente/Pôr do Sol, and areas in Ceilândia, Gama, and Planaltina. These communities arose largely from rural-to-urban migration and housing shortages in the planned core. Lotação (shared vans) and kombis: informal shared vans operate on high-demand corridors, filling gaps in schedules or routes. Travel patterns are driven by schedule alignment between buses/metro and work hours, long commute distances from satellite cities to central Brasília, and often higher costs and longer times for peripheral residents.

The examples show that some highly prominent Jewish intellectuals strongly defended free markets, but they don’t establish a large majority among Jews—or even among Jewish intellectuals. A fairer conclusion is: Jewish intellectual history contains an unusually visible and influential group of anti-communist, pro-market thinkers, but “capitalism supporters win by a large majority” is not a defensible generalization. Their prominence partly reflects the twentieth-century debate over communism, which somehow elevated anti-communist writers such as Rand, Friedman, Mises, and Koestler.
