![]() Until around the 2nd century CE these manuscript books took the form of rolls composed of papyrus sheets pasted one to the other in succession, often over a considerable length. Professional scribes made copies from exemplars at the request of clients, transcribing by hand, word by word, letter by letter. As the British Library describes the process: ![]() Purchased in Egypt in 1821 by Egyptologist William John Bankes, and acquired by an adventurer named Giovanni Finati on the island of Elephantine, the papyrus scroll, which you can see in full and in high resolution at the British Library site, was created like most other “literary papyri” for hundreds of years. This is one of many questions literary historians ask when they approach papyri like that at the top-an excerpt from the so-called “ Bankes Homer,” the most well-preserved specimen of a portion of The Iliad, containing Book 24, lines 127-804, and dating from circa 150 C.E. ![]() We have no manuscripts from that early period, and no one knows how much the poem evolved through scribal errors in the transmission from manuscript to manuscript over centuries. It isn’t particularly original-as Daniel Mendelsohn writes at The New Yorker, “the dominant orthodoxy” for over a hundred years “has been that The Iliad evolved over centuries before finally being written down” sometime around 700 B.C. You can read this National Geographic interview with Nicolson (or buy his book) to follow the argument. Homer is essentially shared.” The narrative poetry attributed to Homer, Nicolson suggests, might go back a thousand years before the poet supposedly put it to papyrus. An entire culture coming up with ever more refined and ever more understanding ways of telling stories that are important to it. For historian Adam Nicolson, author of Why Homer Matters, “it’s a mistake to think of Homer as a person. Though written references to Homer date back to the sixth century B.C., giving credence to the historical existence of the legendary blind poet, he might have been more director than author, bringing together into a coherent whole the labor of hundreds of different storytellers. As a University of Cincinnati classics site notes, “Homer” could stand for “a group of poets whose works on the theme of Troy were collected.” Many an ancient work comes down to us as the product of “Anonymous.” In the case of the major Greek epics, The Odysseyand The Iliad, we have a name, Homer, that most classics scholars treat as a convenient placeholder. When it comes to writing from the manuscript age, hundreds or thousands of years old, it can be next to impossible to identify the author of a work. French theorists like Michel Foucault and Roland Barthes have cast suspicion on this idea. Of course, the notion of the auteur comes from the general theory of authorship that identifies literary works as the product of a single intellect. Everyone else is an extra, including, very often, the actual writers of a film. Even so, we tend to elevate directors to the status of godlike artificers, surrounded by a few angelic helpers behind the camera and a few star actors in front of it. In the case of, say, David Lynch or Wes Anderson-or earlier directors like Godard or Kubrick-one can’t deny the evidence of a singular mind at work. Typical examples come from artier fare than the usual Hollywood blockbuster in which crews of thousands of stuntpeople, special effects technicians, and animators (and several dozen “producers”) make essential contributions. Each time I sit through the end credits of a film, I think about how weird auteur theory is-that a work of cinema can be primarily thought of the singular vision of the director.

The Early Access version of My Time at Sandrock was released worldwide on May 26, 2022. On April 8, 2022, My Time at Sandrock got permission to release in China. The campaign can be viewed here and will end when Sandrock releases in Early Access. The total number of wishlists cannot be seen publicly. In November 2021, the wishlist count reached 400,000 unlocking two additional romanceable characters, Ernest and Jane. The 250,000 wishlists goal was reached on June 2021 meaning that kids will grow up to at least primary school age. The game had already been wishlisted by 92,000 people at the wishlist campaign's start. In exchange for more people adding My Time at Sandrock to their Wishlist on Steam, new features will be added to Sandrock, ranging from makeup and more in-depth furniture customization to the ability for children to grow up. However, on December 22, 2020, Pathea announced a Steam Wishlist campaign. The ability for children to grow up, one of the most highly-requested features in My Time at Portia, was listed as a stretch goal during the Kickstarter, though it was not reached. ![]() Sandrock remained in Kickstarter-exclusive beta access through the end of 2021. The game will feature a series of romance missions for each marriage candidate, gradually deepening the relationship between the player and the romanced character. It was also revealed that fast transport will take place by riding Yakmels instead of the Dee-Dee Transports used in My Time at Portia. The player cannot expect to be able to collect water from Martle's Oasis, and even live next door to a Hazardous Ruins. The player will start by recycling metal scrap and collecting stone, as well as collecting water. In November 2020, it was revealed that My Time at Sandrock takes place on a 40% larger map than My Time at Portia and the player will face a harder challenge to collect even basic resources. The first visual of the game was released on Aug, depicting a young character with short black hair (later confirmed to be the male default player character, Max) overlooking a foggy, moody scene. A Kickstarter campaign for My Time at Sandrock launched in October 2020. In October 2019, the purported Sandrock DLC was confirmed to not be a DLC at all, but rather a new game. Later, the possibility of having one or more games set in the Portia universe was mentioned by developers on the Steam forums and the Steam profile page of the developer Loah mentioned My Time at Sandrock by name. No official news about it was announced and few details were given at the time. Despite this, a multiplayer Sandrock DLC was mentioned since early 2018 in various developer comments on Steam. More languages will be supported in Early Access.ĭuring My Time at Portia's extended Kickstarter campaign, a DLC set in Sandrock was listed as the ultimate stretch goal, but this goal was not reached. The demo and beta version are both only available in Chinese and English. Some months after Early Access ends and Sandrock officially releases on PC, it will launch on the Nintendo Switch, Microsoft Xbox One, and Sony PlayStation 4 and 5.Ī Mac release is not currently planned, though it is a possibility more information regarding a Mac version may be given closer to the official release of the game. In addition, Sandrock runs on Steam Deck, tested by Pathea. It is technically possible for Sandrock to run on Windows 7, though Windows 7 is not officially supported. but that being said, Pathea has historically approached confession missions in a variety of ways Mint in Portia, for example, had a mission trigger by giving him the heart knot that walked through his inhibitions with accepting it.The game will first be available on Windows 10 PCs via Steam, Epic Games, and WeGame. Originally posted by rinofwater:At the moment, there's no sign that Fang will have a reverse confession (the devs said that some candidates will and some will not depending on their personality), and given Fang's personality, I'm not holding my breath for him to have a reverse confessions as such. ![]() If marked as such, the vehicle Consignor states, this vehicles as numbers matching and/or original mileage.

Verhoeven believed that audiences' misconceptions about the film were the result of poor marketing that presented Starship Troopers as an action film instead of a satire. The poor performance of Starship Troopers was blamed, in part, on competition from a high number of successful or anticipated science fiction and genre films released that year, and its satirical and violent content failing to connect with mainstream audiences. Despite initial success, the negative reviews and poor word-of-mouth led to the film’s box office grosses dropping week after week until it left theaters, and it earned $121 million against its budget, becoming only the 34th-highest-grossing film of the year. Released on November 7, 1997, Starship Troopers received negative reviews from critics, who perceived the film as promoting fascism, criticized its violence and the performances of its central cast, and several leveled accusations against Verhoeven and Neumeier of being Nazi sympathizers. Filming began in April 1996 on a $100–110 million budget, nearly half of which was committed to the extensive computer-generated ( CGI) and practical effects required to vivify the Arachnid creatures, before concluding that October. Even so, development was slow, with studios remaining non-committal on funding the expensive project up to the filming date. Producer Jon Davison noticed many similarities between Neumeier's work and Heinlein's book and asked him to re-work the script to more closely follow the novel and gain more interest from studio executives. The film stars Casper Van Dien, Dina Meyer, Denise Richards, Jake Busey, Neil Patrick Harris, Patrick Muldoon, and Michael Ironside.ĭevelopment of Starship Troopers began in 1991 as a separate project called Bug Hunt at Outpost 7, written by Neumeier. As humanity explores and colonizes outer space, they come into conflict with an alien species known as the Arachnids, leading to an interstellar war. Set in the 23rd century, the film follows the story of teenager Johnny Rico and his friends as they serve in the military under the Earth world government, known as the United Citizen Federation. The film is based on the 1959 novel of the same name by Robert A. Starship Troopers is a 1997 American science fiction action film directed by Paul Verhoeven. ![]() If you first understand that, then you will see how impossible it is to organize a belief. Truth, being limitless, unconditioned, unapproachable by any path whatsoever, cannot be organized nor should any organization be formed to lead or to coerce people along any particular path. That is my point of view, and I adhere to that absolutely and unconditionally. I maintain that Truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect. “Oh, not at all,” the devil replied, “I am going to let him organize it.” “That is a very bad business for you, then,” said his friend. The friend said to the devil, “What did that man pick up?” “He picked up a piece of Truth,” said the devil. You may remember the story of how the devil and a friend of his were walking down the street, when they saw ahead of them a man stoop down and pick up something from the ground, look at it, and put it away in his pocket. It is a question neither for rejoicing nor for sadness, because it is inevitable, as I am going to explain. Many people will be delighted, and others will be rather sad. We are going to discuss this morning the dissolution of the Order of the Star. Truth is a Pathless Land by J Krishnamurti. ![]() At that occasion, he gave a speech, which in many ways is a path-breaking one.īelow is the full text of the talk he gave on that occasion. But then suddenly, on August 2, 1929, the “Third World Teacher” of the Theosophists dissolved the very Order that he was to lead. Had thousands of followers, some who would bequeath expensive gifts to him as well. He was made the Head of the Order of the Star by the Theosophists.

This price is fairly average for a GPS tracker, but we were a little disappointed that the app doesn’t offer any additional health insights, such as activity tracking or sleep data. However, if you sign up for a 6-month or 2-year contract, the price-per-month drops to $12.99 or $8.99, respectively. The unit does require a monthly subscription to operate, and if you pay on a month-to-month basis, it costs $14.99. The Jiobit tracker’s battery lasted for 14 days during testing, which is significantly longer than most other models we tested. Plus, because the tracker uses a combination of GPS, cellular data, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth to keep tabs on your pet, there’s no limit to how far away you can track them. (The very first time we tested the tracker, it didn’t send a notification, but it worked every time after that.) The GPS provides accurate real-time tracking updates, and we loved that the tracker’s location is displayed on Google Maps, which allows you to see street names and landmarks - handy if you’re trying to track down a lost pet. The geofence served as a virtual boundary, and we received push notifications when the tracker crossed the invisible line. It was a straightforward process to pair this tracker with our smartphone, as it connects via Bluetooth, and from there, we were able to set up a profile and “geofence” for our pet. The tracker has a teardrop shape and comes with a variety of clips so you can attach it to any collar, and the brand compares its size to an Oreo cookie, making it best-suited for medium and large dogs. We tested the Life360 Jiobit GPS Dog Tracker, and overall, we were impressed by the device’s easy setup, accurate alerts, and long-lasting battery, earning it the top spot as our best overall pick. Life360 is a popular location-sharing app used by thousands of people, and the brand now also sells GPS trackers for both children and dogs. The tracker may be too bulky for small dogs or cats. This tracker solely offers GPS tracking - no additional health or activity data is collected. These are the best dog GPS trackers PEOPLE Tested.
