![]() The subject never entirely disappeared in Western art, and revived greatly in the Italian Renaissance, with further boosts in the Baroque and Rococo, and in late 19th-century Academic painting. A scallop shell, often found in Venus Anadyomenes, is a symbol of the female vulva. According to Athenaeus, the idea of Aphrodite rising from the sea was inspired by the courtesan Phryne, who, during the time of the festivals of the Eleusinia and Poseidonia, often swam nude in the sea. ![]() Venus Anadyomene (from Greek, "Venus Rising from the Sea") is one of the iconic representations of the goddess Venus ( Aphrodite), made famous in a much-admired painting by Apelles, now lost, but described in Pliny's Natural History, with the anecdote that the great Apelles employed Campaspe, a mistress of Alexander the Great, for his model. The statue was discovered in Kortrijk and is now in the collection of the Musée royal de Mariemont. ![]() A bronze statue of Venus Anadyomene made in the 1st or 2nd century. ![]()

Having read "The Hard Thing About Hard Things" by Ben Horowitz, I learned that even for experienced entrepreneurs, running a business still requires a lot of hard work and dedication.Īs an established entrepreneur with multiple companies, it was important for me to understand the struggles and challenges of managing multiple businesses, such as dealing with difficult personnel decisions, financial difficulties, and balancing work/life.

In 2018, a studio movie in which I had invested a year of my life collapsed. ![]() Your life is a series of disappointments. (Somehow, you only see the bad reviews.) The outcome never meets the expectation, possibly because the expectation is rooted in the blind faith necessary to keep hauling yourself out of bed every morning at 5am. ![]() And there’s the S that sits prominently over the bad reviews on opening weekend. Or an E under your pillow when you wake up the morning after the wrap party with a hangover, and the flu that’s been waiting to kick in. You might find a Y in your wet-weather gear pocket on day three when you’re already a full day behind schedule. The thing is, there is no “yes” in movies. Is Netflix a force for good? Are you in favour of the motion or against? Vote yes or no. ![]() I’d only directed films for cinemas, never anything for a streaming platform. As a film-maker, I was pretending to be cool about that fact that I had not been asked to join the party. I have to admit that Netflix terrified me. ![]() ![]() ![]() Maybe add the stuff that was cut out via flashbacks if they're that important (Skull Knight for 97 for example). Two full adaptations of it is fine, even if it cuts important things. If, however, the studio has no plans on adapting the full series, and is instead only adapting a few arcs, I think it'd be okay to omit Golden Age. If the full series is adapted in one adaptation, that will be the all in one adaptation. I think this point needs explanation: Don't redo Golden Age unless the studio is going to animate the entire series. Along with the announcement o f the new Rurouni Kenshin anime at Jump Festa 2022, I think it'd be about time to get a pickup from the end of 1997, given that's a possible path for the Rurouni Kenshin show, being a sequel to the original anime. Being 2022 now, it's been over 4 and a half years since Berserk 2017 aired it's finale. ![]() I think that some time should be given for Berserk 2016/17 to be forgotten, or at least lost relevancy. I've been doing some thinking about the past adaptations, and I wanted to like, word vomit out my thoughts on what I want in any future Berserk adaptation. ![]() ![]() ![]() There was not one poem that I didn’t like. ![]() I liked all the other poems as well though. Some honorable mentions that I really enjoyed as well were The Winter of Anne, Matthew, a Conch Shell, To Write a Letter When There is Too Much to Say, Marilla is a Mueseum, If You Don’t Know by Now, You Never Will, and The Fall of Anne. Some of my absolute favorite poems in this collection were What Do You Think of When You Think of Diana?, Anne’s Sadness, Gil, Ruby, Sucked In, and Love is all we ever had (and it was always enough). I really like what Bratten did with these poems and am interested to check out what else she has written. The poems in this collection were bold, sensual, clever and lyrical. The thoughts and feelings of the Anne in this collection were unexpected, but delightfully so. ![]() Being such a fan, I was instantly drawn to this collection and I will say that it did not disappoint. Montgomery fan and I have read almost all of her books and I have read the Anne series multiple times. I really liked this collection! I am a huge Anne of Green Gables and L.M. The collection is inspired by Anne of Green Gables and while there are references to beloved characters and events, the thoughts and feelings in this collection are from a different, more complex Anne. Anne with an E is a poetry collection that was written by April Michelle Bratten and published in 2015. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I admit that I was a bit taken aback by this expectation. Much to my surprise, rather than dispute any of the evidence I had thus far presented, the skeptic with whom I was verbally sparring responded by asking for even more-specifically, he asked if there was evidence that someone named Ishmael had been buried there. I talked about how it was in the right place, was documented by inscriptions back to Lehi’s time, and how there were extensive burial grounds in the surrounding region. I do not really recall who it was with or what exactly it was about, but it must have had something to do with evidence for the Book of Mormon because I was rehearsing all the evidence (as I then understood it) for identifying Nahom with the Nihm tribal area in Yemen. Several years ago, around 2013–2014 (I confess, I do not remember exactly when), I was in one of those pointless online arguments we’ve all fallen trap to at one time or another. ![]() ![]() ![]() While a Sexy Discretion Shot is involved, she's interviewed by Poirot wearing nothing but a robe around her. Fanservice: Dulcie Lang, Henry Gascoigne's model, is shown doing the same for a public painting session. Inheritance Murder: The murderer killed his uncle, Henry Gascoigne, after learning that his other uncle Anthony (who had a significant fortune) was dying this way the inheritance would go to him as next of kin. ![]()
![]() ![]() While there are no goblins or ghouls prowling its plot, and while no murders or gory secrets are uncovered, it strikes me as the ultimate horror story: the horror of human mortality.Īdmittedly, if asked to tell my top five favorite “horror” stories, this would probably not make the cut, but there is something positively archetypal and universal about Peyton Farquhar’s cruel fate, something with which all readers seem to sympathize. While some may take issue with its inclusion in a collection of horror stories, I am hardly alone: Dover, Wordsworth, and Tartarus Press are just the most notable of nearly a dozen excellent anthologies of Bierce’s Gothic fiction which included the story (and Tartarus Press even used it as the title). ![]() ![]() It is a flawless example of American genius, like 'Sophisticated Lady' by Duke Ellington or the Franklin stove." Both in themes and execution it has a uniquely American quality: the breaking with linear narration, the cynical study of the eternal optimism of the individual, the condemnation of warfare and collectivism, the literary realism, and the psychological surrealism all conspire into a brilliant work. ![]() Concerning its legacy, fellow Hoosier, Kurt Vonnegut, wrote, "I consider anybody a twerp who hasn't read the greatest American short story, which is ' Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge,' by Ambrose Bierce. There is almost no scholarly dissent to that argument. “Owl Creek Bridge” is Bierce’s masterpiece. ![]() |
