Impressive.
The depth of feelings could carry to impossible; progress and richness contrasted by something more important as love and friendship… Something unique and accompanied by a beautiful soundtrack signed J.Horner. Unforgettable.

4/10
This is no love, Kate and Leonardo mess this whole thing up.
I don’t know how many times I watched Titanic, but I ended up disliking it. Preferably I would say that I like a few things about it, such as interior design, vintage furtniture, vintage customes and Celine Dion’s song. There are good actors and actresses in the movie, still they ruin the whole story of Titanic. Titanic is about a human disaster, not about silly…

Restored English Translation of Genesis: Chapter 14

-
  Here is my  Restored English Translation  (RET) of  Beresheet  ( Genesis ) chapter 14.  As usual, it contains the  Hebrew names  and a glossary for them.  After that, at the very end, is a list of occurrences of the  Aleph/ Tavs . Verse 5 is particularly interesting; it mentions that the confederacy that attacked Sodom and Gomorrah had previously struck the Rephaim, Zuzim, Emim and Horites.  The Rephaim were a race of  Nephilim , and the others may have been as well.

A History of Marriage - Part 2

It's been 4 months since my A History of Marriage - Part 1 , but I've finally gotten around to the second part.  In Part 1, I discussed marriage traditions of pagan/superstitious origin, and the origin and history of marriage licences.  In Part 2, I'm looking at marriage age, cousin marriage, and avunculate marriage (marriage of a man to his niece, or a woman to her nephew). MARRIAGE AGE (Note: the following is intended purely as a neutral history lesson - I'm not endorsing or condemning anything.) Today, we become adults at 18, and for many that is (or should be) the minimum marriage age.  Has that always been the case? In ancient times, minimum marriage/adult age (if there was one) varied.  Among the Israelites/Jews, it was generally considered to be around 13, although even that wasn't standard - as evidenced by the following Biblical passages: In the seventeenth year of Pekah the son of Remaliah, Ahaz the son of Jotham, king of Judah, began to reign. ...

The Werewolves of Ireland

Ah, werewolves.  Popular trope in horror movies and novels.  Usually portrayed as a human who transforms into a humanoid wolf (or as a human-wolf hybrid).  Sometimes the condition (known as lycanthropy) is genetic and hereditary, sometimes it’s the result of a werewolf bite, sometimes the result of a curse.  It’s often (but not necessarily) related to the full moon.   https://youtu.be/TKIbuXsN2F4   https://youtu.be/myjd4uoq6dY https://youtu.be/kzZcDHHNINk However, these nightmarish beasts are not limited to the world of fiction; they are a legendary creature, seen and encountered by many people up until the present day. What are they?  Some are Nephilim – the hybrid products of fallen angels mixing with humans and animals (and possibly humans with animals) in centuries and millennia past.  Others are demonically possessed humans, at least some of which got into “the dark arts”, to borrow Harry Potter ‘s term for ...
