Mind you, the Elizabethans had so many words for the female genitals that it is quite hard to speak a sentence of modern English without inadvertently mentioning at least three of them.
—Terry Pratchett, in alt.fan.pratchett
The inverse trope to Have a Gay Old Time. Due to changes in vocabulary over time, something that originally was supposed to be Double Entendre-laden can often sound perfectly straightforward--or sometimes incomprehensible--to modern ears.
Shakespeare is probably the most common exemplar of this trope, both because he wrote a long time ago and because he had a filthy streak wider than the Queen's farthingale. There was also no such thing as a "sensitive" listener who could not stand to hear a dirty joke in his day[1]; the Queen's (and later King's) censors cared more about sedition and blasphemy than about sexual or scatological humor. This is how the awful puns in Henry V were allowed to be used while seemingly mild oaths like "Gadzooks" (God's hooks, or the nails that held Jesus to the cross) were banned.
Nunnery meant both a convent for nuns and was a euphemism for a brothel. Now you know.
Examples of Get Thee to a Nunnery include:
1 Shakespeare
2 The Bible
3 Comic Books
5 Other Literature
6 Webcomics
7 Other Theater
8 Other Word Shifts
In As You Like It, the clown Touchstone gives a speech which is mostly funny because Shakespeare expects "hour" and "whore" to be homophones. This is one of many small things put forward as evidence for the idea that Shakespeare's dialect of Early Modern English most closely resembled the northern dialects of Modern English (in which "hour" and "whore" still aren't homophones, but are closer to being so than in BBC English) — doubtless quite a shock for generations of RP-speaking Shakespearean actors. Probably the best modern guess at what Shakespeare's dialect sounded like can be found here.
In King Lear Edmund's line "Yours in the ranks of death!" is actually a Elizabethan era euphemism or pun for an orgasm or sex in general. "Die" was a common English euphemism for "orgasm" well into the 18th century, probably stemming from the French euphemism le petit mort, "the little death." Shakespeare loved the phrase "I die in your lap" - he uses it in Hamlet and in Much Ado About Nothing, where Benedick tells Beatrice he "will live in thy heart, die in thy lap, and be buried in thy sight."
Juliet's impassioned speech to her mother in Romeo and Juliet, in which she uses many double meanings that can be taken to mean she hates Romeo (the way her mother takes it) but could also be taken to mean she's in love with him. In one part, Juliet states that her dearest desire is to "behold Romeo dead." She gives the speech after they're married. What do you think Juliet's really saying she wants in that speech?
Shakespeare used the phrase "too much of a good thing" as a Double Entendre in As You Like It. The original context was as follows:
Rosalind: Are you not good?
Orlando: I hope so.
Rosalind: Why then, can one desire too much of a good thing?
One example of a word losing its dirtier meaning over time is the title of Shakespeare's play Much Ado About Nothing. In Shakespeare's time "nothing" was a euphemism for a woman's naughty bits. This gave the title three different yet equally appropriate meanings, as the main conflict over the play revolves around the false implication of Hero losing her virginity to another man while engaged to Claudio. Therefore it is "Much Ado about Nothing" as nothing was really going on, "Much Ado about Noting" as it's concerned with the views the characters have of each others' moral fiber (how they "note" each other), and "Much Ado about Nothing" as it was concerned with Hero's own naughty bits/her virginity. Sadly this clever wordplay is lost on many modern readers and the first interpretation is all they are aware of.
"Nothing" also appears in Hamlet:
Hamlet: That's a fair thought to lie between a maid's legs.
Ophelia: What is, my lord?
Hamlet: Nothing.
And even King Lear:
King Lear: Speak.
Cordelia: Nothing, my lord.
King Lear: Nothing?
Cordelia: Nothing.
King Lear: Nothing will come of nothing. Speak again.
Much Ado also involves many jokes based on "wit" being a slang term for "dick" at the time.
Don Pedro: I said that thou hadst a great wit. Yay, said she, a great gross one. Nay, say I, a fine wit. Yay, said she, a fine little one. Nay, said I, a good wit. Just, said she, it hurts nobody.
There's also this exchange:
Claudio: Wilt thou use thy wit?
Benedick: It is in my scabbard. Shall I draw it? [Here referring to wit as a slang term for fencing skill]
Don Pedro, that filthy man: Dost thou wear thy wit by thy side?
Similarly, whenever the word "quaint" occurs in Shakespeare or Chaucer... it means the same as "nothing", or "wit", or "ring." Terry Pratchett was right.
Yet another from dirty old Shakespeare found in The Taming of the Shrew:
Petruchio: Come, come, you wasp; i' faith, you are too angry.
Katherina: If I be waspish, best beware my sting.
Petruchio: My remedy is then, to pluck it out.
Katherina: Ay, if the fool could find it where it lies.
Petruchio: Who knows not where a wasp does wear his sting? In his tail.
Katherina: In his tongue.
Petruchio: Whose tongue?
Katherina: Yours, if you talk of tails: and so farewell.
Petruchio: What, with my tongue in your tail?
That's even worse than is implied so far! Kissing ass has a certain set of meanings in the modern era, but in those days it was the sign of a witch or warlock's devotion to and service to the Devil. In other words, Petruchio was literally demonizing her.
Almost every argument Kate and Petruchio have would fit this. There's also this:
Katherina: Asses were made to bear, and so will you.
Petruchio: Women were made to bear, and so will you!
This would, of course, be referring to women having ("bearing") children, and being expected to hold ("bear") her husband's weight during sex.
The title quote — at the time Hamlet was written, "nunnery" was a euphemism for "brothel".
And another one, from Hamlet's conversation with Polonius--in the same conversation in which he makes reference to Jephthah, he calls Polonius a "fishmonger"--a euphemism for a "pimp", referring to a similarity in scent between fish and female genitalia. Which is, of course, a clue that Hamlet already suspects Polonius of using his own daughter to get to Hamlet.
Several of Shakespeare's sonnets make extensive use of the word "will" which, aside from conveniently being the poet's name, meant both "penis" and "sexual appetite."
Of course, "willy" is still slang for a penis. The Reduced Shakespeare Company made gleeful use of this Double Entendre in The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged).
Similarly, any Shakespearean reference to "stones" is likely to be an anatomical Double Entendre.
According to a certain annotated copy of Twelfth Night, the following conversation is actually about having sex with prostitutes:
Sir Andrew: I'll stay a month longer. I am a fellow o' the strangest mind i' the world; I delight in masques and revels sometimes altogether.
Sir Toby: Art thou good at these kickshawses, knight?
Sir Andrew: As any man in Illyria, whatsoever he be, under the degree of my betters; and yet I will not compare with an old man.
Sir Toby: What is thy excellence in a galliard, knight?
Sir Andrew: Faith, I can cut a caper.
Sir Toby: And I can cut the mutton to't.
Sir Andrew: And I think I have the back-trick simply as strong as any man in Illyria.
More glaringly, when Malvolio reads the fake letter supposedly from Olivia, he notes her handwriting by her "C"s, her "U"s, and her "T"s, from which she makes her great "P"s. Need it be mentioned that "cut" was old-timey slang for a woman's private parts?
Sir Andrew: Her "C"s, her "U"s, aNd her "T"s? Why that?
The awful puns in Henry V referred to above include the following:
Katherine: ... Coment appelle vous les pied et de roba?
Alice: Le Foot, Madame, et le Count.
Katherine:. Le Foot, et le Count! O Seignieur Dieu, il sont le mots de son mauvais corruptible, grosse, et impudique, et non pour le dames de honeur d'user: je ne voudray pronouncer ce mots devant le seigneurs de France, pour toute le monde! Fo! Le Foot et le Count!
Or in translation from Shakespeare's mangled Elizabethan French:
Katherine: ... How do you say, le pied and la robe?
Alice: The Foot, my lady, and the Gown.
Katherine:. The Foot and the Gown! O Lord God, these are words of a wicked, corruptible, gross, and immodest sound, and not for ladies of honour to use! I should not want to pronounce these words before the lords of France for all the world! Fie! The Foot and the Gown!
The wordplay is on the French words foutre ("fuck" or "jizz") and con ("cunt").
Again in Romeo and Juliet, we have the opening scene where a Capulet man expresses his desire to fight the Montagues and "cut off the heads" of their maids--"maidenhead" being an old term for a woman's hymen/virginity. This is lampshaded by a second man asking "The heads of the maids, or their maidenheads?" to which the first replies "Ah, 'tis all one."
In Henry IV there is a whole speech full of whore jokes at the beginning of the second scene in the first act.
Prince:: Thou art so fat-witted, with drinking of old sack and unbuttoning thee after supper and sleeping upon benches after noon, that thou hast forgotten to demand that truly which thou wouldst truly know. What a devil hast thou to do with the time of the day? Unless hours were cups of sack and minutes capons and clocks the tongues of bawds[2] and dials the signs of leaping-houses[3] and the blessed sun himself a fair hot wench[4] in flame-coloured taffeta[5], I see no reason why thou shouldst be so superfluous to demand the time of the day.
And then there are some lines in Shakespeare the meaning of which is so obscure that even the world's foremost experts couldn't tell you what the hell they even mean. King Lear's baffling exclamation about "a good block", for example, seems to mean nothing at all as far as most editors can reckon. These problems are exacerbated by the fact that Shakespeare never published definitive editions of his own works, and the versions that exist today are often incomplete, damaged, or suffered under over-zealous early editors.
In The Bible, the phrase "And Adam knew his wife" sounds innocent enough, until you learn that in Hebrew, there are two words for "know": one applies to people, and the other applies to inanimate objects. If you use the second to apply to a person, it becomes a euphemism for sex. And now you know. To be fair, the meaning is rather obvious — the next few words are, "and she conceived a son". This one seems to have come full circle, as "knew her in the Biblical sense" has entered the popular lexicon. Still, some translations render such pages into the contemporary English phrases for clarity. This is also the basis of the legal term "carnal knowledge".
"In the Biblical sense" is an idiom in modern day Hebrew. Used also in Sister Act.
The Biblical sense of "know" appears in the play The Crucible. One of the most dramatic lines is this:
John Proctor: I have...known...Abigail Williams.
The song "If It Isn't Her" by Ani Difranco has the lyrics: "She says, 'Do I Know You'. I say, 'Well not biblically.'"
In an obscure Radio 4 comedy featuring Hugh Grant, "The Crusader Chronicles", there was a marvelous exchange, as depicted here:
"Bishop?"
"Cadworthy! I was just, ummm, taking your wife over the scriptures..."
"Very energetic of you, old boy..."
"I don't mean in the biblical sense! No, wait a minute, I do mean in the biblical sense..."
There is also that bit of dialogue surrounding Tia Dalma's introduction in the second Pirates of the Caribbean movie.
Will Turner: You know me?
Tia Dalma: You want to know me.
Jack Sparrow: There'll be no knowing here!
-then-
Jack Sparrow: I thought I knew you.
Tia Dalma: Not so well as I had hoped.
The German translation of the Bible used "erkennen" which translates to "recognize".
Jack Chick used this in one of his tracts about the tale of Sodom and Gommorah, with a side of Don't Explain the Joke
Angry Mob: Lot - where are the men who came to see you tonight? Send them out so that we may know them (sexually).
Chances are that Chick felt the need for that hilarious aside because he heard theories that the crimes of the mob weren't necessarily homosexuality and he wanted everyone to be damned sure that it was. Yeah.
And getting back to Shakespeare's Hamlet, though he probably didn't mean it that way, considering the scene:
Hamlet holding a skull: Alas, poor Yorick... I knew him, Horatio.
More on the Bible. A few examples:
Genesis 24:9, Abraham's servant swears by holding Abraham's package: "And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and sware to him concerning that matter." Swearing a promise on your father's genitals (yes, you were expected to cup his family jewels) was considered the most sacred of oaths in Jewish society, and in this case Abraham was a father figure to his servant.
Don't forget the Latin word testicula, which means little witness.
In 2 Kings, King Solomon's son responded to requests for lower taxes with "My father's thigh was smaller than my smallest finger." Yeah.
Ezekiel 16:25, Ezekiel compares Jerusalem with a prostitute who spreads eagle to every man who walks by: "thou hast opened thy feet to every one that ped by, and multiplied thy whoredoms." In Biblical Hebrew, the same word is used for "feet" and "legs". That pretty much preserves the euphemism in modern language! Among popular Protestant translations, the NASB renders this "spread your legs," while the NIV and RSV have "offering your body" and "yourself," respectively. The Catholic NAB has "spreading your legs," and the Jerusalem Bible has "give your body" . . . "to every comer."
Some Biblical pages have been sanitized for our protection by translators. One example is in 1 Samuel 20:41: the King James version is (greeting Jonathan) "David arose out of the place...and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times; and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, until David exceeded.". Conservative Christian commentators claim that "exceeded" means that he became overly emotional, but at least one rabbi has claimed that in the original Hebrew, the last two words are really "David enlarged" - in other words, "David had an erection."
Also, Adam's rib may have had nothing to do with the ribs in his chest, rather a part of anatomy that humans lack.
The word "foot" in Biblical usage is often an euphemism for "penis." In 2 Samuel 11:8, David's exhortation to Uriah to "Go down to thy house, and wash thy feet" is meant to get him to have sex with his wife, whom David has just gotten pregnant. (It didn't work, so they went with Plan B.)
When Zipporah circumcises her and Moses' son and touches the father's "foot" with the foreskin, this probably also means penis.
Thus the Description of the Seraphim, whose final set of wings shield their "feet," was actually referring to them shielding their genitals out of modesty. Of course, considering that angels aren't supposed to have genitals raises interesting questions...
In 1 Samuel, Saul goes into a cave to "cover his feet", here meaning "go to the bathroom."
The Song of Solomon (or Song of Songs, depending on your translation) consists entirely of explicit love poetry. Taste of my garden, indeed.
"I sat down in his shadow....and his fruit was sweet to my taste." Goodnight everybody!
"My beloved put his hand by the hole [of the door] and my bowels were moved for him." That has to actually mean more than it lets on. [6]
In Carl Barks' Back to the Klondike, Scrooge McDuck describes Glittering Goldie as "the only live one I ever knew." Given his reclusive, asocial attitude towards life, and disdain for everything except money up to that point, it's entirely possible (indeed, in context, there's no other logical interpretation) that he means this in the above-mentioned clinical sense of "know." This, along with a somewhat more overt gag, is an epic case of Getting Crap Past the Radar; when questioned by observant fans at the exact nature of Scrooge and Goldie's relationship, Barks tactifully insisted it wasn't something his publishers would want to get into.
Ever wonder why Buford Tannen kept referring to Marty as "dude" in Back to The Future Part III? During that time period, "dude" basically meant City Mouse (hence, a "dude ranch" is a ranch for "dudes", i.e. tourists). Considering Marty is from The Eighties, it's odd that he doesn't Lampshade how that word changed.
One not-so-Innocent Innuendo related to past language is in John Donne's poem "The Flea". His conceit of the flea sucking becomes more indecent when you realize that the long "s" (ſ) resembled an "f".
The poem's entire plot is a guy trying to get his girlfriend to sleep with him and using a flea as a clumsy metaphor. As he was drawing inspiration from a long line of other poems using fleas as dirty enablers of illicit coupling going back at least as far as Ovid, this example is Older Than Feudalism.
The Monk in The Canterbury Tales doesn't give a "Pulled Hen" about the scriptures.
In Chaucer's Middle English, the word "queynte" could mean "quaint", "intelligent", or... well... you know... that. Chaucer uses this pun extensively throughout the Canterbury Tales, especially in the Miller's Tale.
In The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the word "sass" means (1) know, (2) be aware of, (3) meet, (4) have sex with[7]. Knowing Douglas Adams this is undoubtedly a reference to any or all of the above.
Tristram Shandy has a lot of fun with the fact that, at the time it was written, the word "hobby-horse" could mean either "obsession" or "prostitute".
The Nunnery problem is lampshaded in this The B Movie Comic strip.
This Xkcd comic has an example of the "incomprehensible" variety.
Gilbert and Sullivan's Ruddigore had a very edgy name at the time — "ruddy" and "gore" are two synonyms for "bloody", a cussword that was further beyond the bounds of polite society in those days. When confronted with this, Gilbert responded:
That would be like saying 'I admire your ruddy countenance' — which I do-- means the same thing as 'I like your bloody cheek' — which I don't.
Other Word Shifts
The sword in the constellation Orion, under his belt? "Sword" means something else.
Any time the word "horns" shows up in Elizabethan English (particularly in The Merry Wives of Windsor), it's usually a reference to adultery. To cheat on your husband was to make him a "cuckold," a reference to cuckoos, which lay eggs in other birds' nests to raise. A cuckolded man is said to have cuckold's horns, which are actually a reference to stags, who can lose their mate if they are defeated by another male. If a man is said to have horns, it means his wife is sleeping around.
This was alluded to in a scene in Hamlet, in which Hamlet wigs out on Ophelia and accuses her of a number of various nasty, sexual things. One of those things was "Men know what monsters you make of us!", which of course refers to the cuckold's horns.
"Horns" shows up in this sense in George Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire.
Memorably used in an obscure gag in The Simpsons, as Homer sees a cuckoo clock in an unfaithfulness situation.
Cuckoo: Cuckold! Cuckold! Cuckold!
Homer: (scared) What's a cuckold?
In this case, quite possibly the Simpsons episode is referencing Joyce's Ulysses, in which a cuckoo clock chimes three times when a character realizes he's being cuckolded.
French horns are used very often in opera to comically announce that a character is being cuckolded (or thinks he is).
There's a very good pun in Les Liaisons Dangereuses where Valmont mentions that he's going to visit a nobleman with an extensive forest that he maintains for the benefit of his friends. The French for "forest" is le bois. The French for "horns" is les bois. Mme. de Merteuil writes back to him that the nobleman is a friend to the entire world.
"How fitting that Lord Auberon is horn'd" in Books of Magic
The prank of holding two fingers behind someone's head as their picture is being taken is a reference to cuckold's horns. Americans know the prank as "bunny ears," but in other cultures it means you're wife is cheating on you.
Before The Eighties, "dork" was a slang term for "penis". Today its alternate meaning, "foolish or ridiculous" is much more common.
There seems to be a certain oblivion to alternate meanings of dork. Otherwise, The Dork Diaries, books about a middle school girl would have Unfortunate Implications.
The webcomic Elf Only Inn makes use of this tidbit when chatroom maker Lord Elf tries to get the Lord of Dorkness banished, and uses his name as justification:
Sysop: "What??? You want to censor the word 'dork'? Why whatever for?"
Lord Elf: "Because it means whale penis, duh!"
Sysop: "But neither the word 'penis' nor 'whale' is censored in your room!"
It meant this up until '87, if The Monster Squad is anything to be trusted. "Of course Wolf Man wore pants. It was the Forties! Otherwise you'd see his... you know. Wolfdork." And who could forget "We were wondering if you had ever... um... to what extent you had... been dorked."
The Gorgo episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 featured a whole running gag on a character named "Dorkin."
And a line in The Sandman: A Game of You, originally published in 1991:
Barbie: Guys think with their dorks.
And a line in Mallrats, Brodie says, "What about The Thing's dork? Is it like the rest of him?"
On the other hand, the first Peanuts comic in which Marcie refers to Peppermint Patty as "sir" (July 20, 1971) had Patty using the word "dorky" to describe both the weather and Marcie.
Sixteen Candles, when the brother says in regard to Long Duck Dong, "At least you don't have to sleep under a guy named after a duck's dork!"
Gary Larson was forced to remove the word "dork" from one of his The Far Side cartoons when his editor informed him that it meant "penis." He'd never heard of that meaning and looked it up in a slang dictionary to confirm it.
In a similar vein, many people who use the Yiddish word "schmuck" have no idea what it means either. (Which really messes up the joke about the guy who rides a camel across town to impress the ladies, "Officer, it was a male camel. I know because I heard all of these people saying 'Hey, look at the schmuck on the camel!'")
The meaning of the word "schmuck", believe it or not, was a key point in one of Lenny Bruce's obscenity trials. The prosecution asserted that Lenny was using it to mean "penis". Lenny, meanwhile, had references to dictionaries of Yiddish slang which gave its primary meaning as "fool". These days, "schmuck" has mostly moved into the "fool" meaning. For the dual fool/penis connotation, "putz" is the term more often used. Nonetheless, it's considered a very offensive word by Yiddish speakers, and many Jewish adults, who don't speak much Yiddish, but whose parents did, still remember being punished for saying it. It made seeing the word on a marquee, when Dinner for Schmucks was in theaters quite jarring.
In many languages the word for the mathematical operation opposite to differentiation is a variation of "integral", but not in Polish, where it's been translated to a word stemming from the root of "making something whole", as "integrating" is. Now, since it's an archaism for "virgin", thousands of students each year have to endure terrible, terrible jokes about "integrals" being difficult to find, etc.
Which is similar to most English students' first foreign language cl reaction to having to "conjugate" verbs...
Minion used to indicate a much more specific kind of service...
It referred to the Camp Gay favorites of certain courtesans (and even of the king sometimes) called "mignons", which today means "cute". Go figure.
The word "gunsel", in a way. Back in the day, it meant either a young boy kept for sexual purposes, or the passive partner in anal intercourse. Then writers like Dashiel Hammet began to slide the word into their stories knowing the real meaning, but relying on their editor to not know the word, and assume it had something to do with guns. These days, a gun-wielding hoodlum is a valid alternate meaning, and has appeared in that context on such places as the HBO website, talking about the character of Brother Mouzone from The Wire. (Unless there's something we don't know about Brother...)
This cartoon refers to a play on words involving an antiquated use of the word "corporation" to mean "big belly."
Punk has undergone a remarkable semantic shift over the past century or so. It first appeared sometime around The Gay Nineties, and was slang for....well, for a concept quite similar to that covered by gunsel. Flash forward ten and a half decades later, and the primary meaning of punk is not only something non-sexual, but something that can be interpreted as a compliment! Well, depending on whether or not you happen to be in prison, that is.
The word is used in Shakespeare's Measure for Measure to mean a female prostitute. (Definitely female - one character knocks her up and is forced to marry her, despite his protestations that "marrying a punk, my lord, is pressing to death, whipping and hanging.")
Frigging, which means rubbing, at a time had all the sexual connotations of that other F word.
It still sometimes means a certain sort of rubbing.
"Orchids" is an archaic term for testicles - archaic as in Aristotle would use it. It's survived somewhat to this day when referring medically to testicular maladies (for instance, a guy with three bad boys is a polyorchid; an orchidectomy is having one removed), but to most people orchids are simply flowers.
It's worse than just that. The word originally meant 'testicle'; the flowers got the name because, well, somebody thought they (well, their roots) looked like...orchids.
And that casts new light on the White Stripes song, Blue Orchid. Knowing them, it was probably intentional.
And interestingly, one can grind up the roots of some species and boil the resulting flour in water to produce a drink with the color and consistency[8] of semen. The drink, known as salep (from its Turkish name), is understandably considered an aphrodisiac and a restorer of virility.
The Irish Folk Song The Holy Ground sounds like a love song nowadays, with the narrator singing about the sailors on his ship returning to the eponymous Holy Ground to see the girls they love. This holds until you realize that in the 18th century the section of the port town of Cobh known as the Holy Ground was actually the red-light district.
Nursery Rhymes and traditional lullabyes can be rife with this, since the words haven't changed much in at least a few hundred years.
For anyone younger than 50, the word funky definitely makes this list. You probably grew up hearing it used in popular songs in expressions like "Get down! Get funky!" - and assumed the word simply meant "cool." But it originally referred to the smell of a woman's vagina.
The Scottish folk song The Cuckoo's Nest is apparently about a lad and a lass who go into some bushes to find a cuckoo's nest, but cuckoo's nest was a term for lady parts. The second meaning is easier to guess at if you recall that cuckoos don't build nests. (The English folk song of the same name makes no attempt to disguise the fact that the cuckoo's nest is genitals, as the song doesn't make any sense otherwise.)
The hare in the English folk song The Bonny Black Hare is a woman's private parts rather than a rabbit-like creature.
"Dew" was a term for semen, as in the English folk song The Foggy Foggy Dew.
...Wait, but what does "farthingale" mean when it's not an innuendo?
↑ Except the Puritans, but they considered theatre itself to be sinful, so Shakespeare never seemed to keep their tastes in mind.
↑ pimps
↑ brothels
↑ in this context, prostitute
↑ the color of fabric often worn by whores
↑ No, the speaker didn't actually soil herself- "Bowels" was basically Hebrew for "heart." At the same time... he has his hands inside her 'hole' and her insides 'moved'.
↑ As in, "Hey, you sass that hoopy Ford Prefect? There's a frood who really knows where his towel is!"
↑ Although not flavor

Merveilleux endroit pour rester et valeur pour l'argent.
The Macroons were superb and the card was worded beautifully.
Hi, unfortunately there's no indian restaurant here nor do they serve Indian breakfast. However, you can ask the receptionist / concierge for a guide on how to get to the nearest HDB coffeeshop - where the locals have their breakfast. There are Indian stalls in the local eating stalls. Hope this helps.
My wife & I will be staying one night at the end of June. We are senior citizens and relish a good night's sleep. What rooms have been recently refurbished and are located in a quiet area of the hotel. Many thanks for your help with this.
Hello.As I traveled with two friends, we stayed in a triple bed room (deluxe family) on the ground floor, close to reception and one of the pools. All of us had very clean, comfortable beds and no complaints about noise. The hotel has an efficient lift, so I would email Mary (resort Manager) and request a room that suits your needs. Mary and her staff were very helpful in these matters. Hope you enjoy your stay and get a chance to play some great golf!

A town and county in Massachusetts.
The second Essex, an ironclad steamer, was built at St. Louis, Mo., in 1856 for use as a ferry. Originally New Era she was renamed Essex following purchase by the War Department on 20 September 1861. Converted into an ironclad gunboat by James B. Eads of St. Louis, she was assigned to duty with the Western Flotilla, an organization maintained, operated, and controlled by the Army but commanded by a naval officer.
Essex, Commander W. D. Porter, took part in an expedition up the Cumberland River in November 1861. On 11 January 1862, Essex and St. Louis engaged Confederate gunboats in the Tennessee River near Lucas Bend, Mo. In company with six other gunboats commanded by Flag Officer A. H. Foote, she cooperated with the Army in capturing Fort Henry, Tenn., on 6 February. In this action Essex suffered serious damage to her boiler and resulting injury to her crew, forcing her to retire from a battle in which she had participated effectively.
After extensive repairs she returned to duty to participate in the assault on Vicksburg on 13 July 1862. Nine days later she ran past the hammering batteries of Vicksburg and attacked the Confederate ram, Arkansas, inflicting considerable damage. On 5 August she joined with the Army in repelling a Confederate attack on Baton Rouge, La., and the next day attacked Arkansas again; during the engagement, Arkansas broke down and drifted ashore where she was destroyed by her crew.
The entire Western Flotilla, including Essex, was turned over to the Navy on 1 October 1862 in compliance with congressional enactment and thereafter was named the Mississippi Squadron.
Essex acted in the capture of Port Hudson, La., from 8 May to 8 July 1863. The daily bombardment of the area by Essex and Mortilla brought about eventual surrender of that city. On 9 July she engaged the enemy at Donaldsonville and although damaged in the battle, carried out her patrol duty at this point through 6 March 1864 when she sailed with the fleet into the mouth of the Red River and assisted in the capture of Fort de Russy on 15 and 16 March.
On 17 April Essex got underway from Vicksburg where she arrived 6 days later. On 4 May she proceeded to Memphis, Tenn., where she remained for the duration of the war. Essex was decommissioned at Mound City, Ill., on 20 July 1865, and sold on 29 November 1865.

China plans to break petrodollar stranglehold
by PEPE ESCOBAR
China aims to roll out a yuan-based system for oil futures PHOTO/Reuters
Beijing to set up oil-futures trading in the yuan which will be fully convertible into gold on the Shanghai and Hong Kong exchanges
Petrodollars have dominated the global energy markets for more than 40 years. But now, China is looking to change that by replacing the word dollars for yuan.
Nations, of course, have tried this before since the system was set up by former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger in tandem with the House of Saud back in 1974
Vast populations across the Middle East and Northern Africa quickly felt the consequences when Iraq's Saddam Hussein decided to sell oil in euros. Then there was Libya's Muammar Gaddafi's pan-African gold dinar blueprint, which failed to create a splash in an oil barrel.
Fast forward 25 years and China is making a move to break the United States petrodollar stranglehold. The plan is to set up oil-futures trading in the yuan, which will be fully convertible into gold on the Shanghai and Hong Kong foreign exchange markets.
The Shanghai Futures Exchange and its subsidiary, the Shanghai International Energy Exchange (INE), have already run four simulations for crude futures.
It was expected to be rolled out by the end of this year, but that looks unlikely to happen. But when it does get off the ground in 2018, the fundamentals will be clear – this triple oil-yuan-gold route will bypass the mighty green back.
The era of the petroyuan will be at hand.
Still, there are questions on how Beijing will technically set up a rival futures market in crude oil to Brent and WTI, and how China's capital controls will influence it.
Bejing has been quite discreet on this. The petroyuan was not even mentioned in the National Development and Reform Commission documents following the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party last October.
What is certain is that the BRICS, the acronym for Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, did support the petroyuan move at their summit in Xiamen earlier this year. Diplomats confirmed that to Asia Times.
Venezuela is also on board. It is crucial to remember that Russia is number two and Venezuela is number seven among the world's Top 10 oil producers. Beijing already has close economic ties with Moscow, while it is distinctly possible that other producers will join the club.
"This contract has the potential to greatly help China's push for yuan internationalization," Yao Wei, chief China economist at Societe Generale in Paris, said when he hit the nail firmly on the head.
An extensive report by DBS in Singapore also hits most of the right notes, linking the internationalization of the yuan with the expansion of the grandiose Belt and Road Initiative.
Next year, six major BRI projects will be on the table.

mariah carey and her babies
Mariah Carey shared her twins pictures on a website launched on 20/20 interview.
Mariah Carey has shared the pictures of her beautiful twin babies Moroccan and Monroe for the first time after six months she became a mother.
Mariah Carey created a website called Dembabies.com to give fans a glimpse into the never-before-seen family album of her adorable children.
Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon wrote on the website: "We deliberated for so long about how to reveal the first pictures of our babies to the world.
"We just didn't want to do the typical thing and display them in a tabloid (not that there's anything wrong with that).
"We decided to share this beautiful experience with you in a special intimate portrait of our family.
"Parenthood is absolutely the most life changing experience we could ever have imagined. The love we feel for these babies is above and beyond anything we'd ever dreamed of."

Mariah Carey, 41, revealed details of a difficult pregnancy and admitted she underwent fertility treatment after suffering a devastating and "really tough" miscarriage.
"The main thing I did that was tough, was to go on progesterone like every month… and then when I was pregnant, I had to stay with the progesterone for 10 weeks," Mariah Carey told Barbara Walters.
"It minimizes the chance of miscarriage by 50 percent."
Nick Cannon, 31, admitted during the interview that he had concerns about his wife, whom he married in April 2008.
"It was good news but it was scary news at the same time," Nick admitted.
The singer added: "I don't think I understood the enormity and the magnitude of what it really does to your body. Like it's not just, <<Oh, you don't look pretty and you have a bump.>>
"Unless somebody's been through it, it's difficult to understand what I went through because my pregnancy was very unique in terms of what happened to me."
Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon also discussed their own relationship and her attitude to marrying for the second time after her first marriage to record executive Tommy Mottola ended.
The singer said that experience made her "afraid of the concept of marriage".
"But this is a different situation and I'm a different person," Mariah Carey said.
"It's a different time in my life. And nobody will ever be able to steal my spirit again. So I'm just happy to be in love and to be here."
Nick Cannon also showed the View star where he proposed to Mariah Carey with a sparkling diamond ring, before Barbara Walters quizzed Mariah on whether she trusted her husband.
"Sometimes. Can I trust you – you tell me?" she said.
"When he's nice, he's the best guy in the world.
"Other times he's not nice. He's a man, Barbara!" Mariah Carey joked.
Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon welcomed twins Monroe and Moroccan on April 30, on their third wedding anniversary, at a Los Angeles hospital.
Nick Cannon also recently said that his children's personalities were already showing through, with Monroe a lot like her famous mother.
"My daughter is a diva. My son is laid back. When he wakes up, he wakes up smiling. He'll wait for a minute and if he's hungry, he'll let you know."

Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud insists he does not have to be so greedy in front of goal when he is surrounded by so many high-quality team-mates.
The France international has scored eight goals this season but has also provided four assists, already more than last year.
Giroud dismissed the notion that centre-forwards have to be single-minded to succeed.
"It is a quality when you are a striker to not always be greedy and when you have a team-mate well placed on the pitch, in a good position, you have to assist him," he said.
"Strikers are judged on their goals but we must also (provide) assists and that is what I try to do: help my team-mates.
"We have good relationships on the pitch and when we play one-touch football it is a pleasure. We try to do it in every game and when we succeed it is fantastic."
There has been no such issue this time around and the 27-year-old puts that mainly down to improved confidence, although manager Arsene Wenger believes he has become a better player over the last 12 months.
"I think technically I had it before, maybe I progressed because we have worked on it a lot in training," he told arsenal.com.
Premier League leaders Arsenal host Liverpool, just two points behind in third, in the match of the weekend.
While the Reds have had a full week to prepare after a confident demolition of West Brom last Saturday, Wenger's players have had to pick themselves up from the midweek Capital One Cup defeat at home to Chelsea.
Defender Thomas Vermaelen believes the visit of Brendan Rodgers' side provides the ideal opportunity to get over that loss.
"It is for the league and we need to respond quickly," he said. "It's good the game is on Saturday and we can respond to the defeat from Tuesday night."


In the fall of 1996, I accepted the Lord Jesus in the True Jesus Church. Later, I became a preacher, responsible for shepherding over thirty churches in my parish.
At a co-worker meeting in 1999, Elder Li from Shenyang said to us, "In recent years, there has arisen a sect called 'Eastern Lightning.' They preach that the Lord has been incarnated the second time, even as a female. They grow so rapidly in number that nothing can stand in their way. Whoever believes in Jesus is a target hunted by them. They belong to an underworld organization. In order to convert a believer in the Lord, they either seduce him with beauty and buy him off with money or threaten him with violence. If he refuses to obey them, they will break his arms or legs, or cut off his nose or ears. Many elders, deacons, and believers of our denomination have been taken captive by them. Now they have come to Changtu area, so you must take stringent precautions and keep a good watch over the flock lest any brother or sister be taken captive by them. …" I did not doubt about his words at all. From then on, whichever church I went to, I wantonly spread the elder's words and even made up the rumor: "This gang of people of 'Eastern Lightning' are promiscuous, extremely filthy." In order to better prevent the brothers and sisters from being converted to "Eastern Lightning," I personally taught them in detail how to guard against and resist it.
One day, Brother Li, who had been out of touch with me for many years, came to my home unexpectedly. I little thought that he came to preach God's end-time gospel to me. When he showed me a book of God's word, I blasphemed angrily, saying, "Take it away! It's the devil's word. I won't read it." Seeing me so implacable, he could not but put away the book of God's word. Before he left, he advised me very sincerely, "Do not say blasphemous words anymore!" However, I did not take his advice seriously.
Once, on the way home from Jilin Province, our elder and I heard that a sister in Diaobingshan Church who was specially cultivated by us had accepted "Eastern Lightning." This news made my blood boil. As soon as I got home, I went to question that sister, but I only met her younger sister. I knew she had also accepted Almighty God, so I took this opportunity to try to "save" her. However, no matter how I persuaded her, she was not swayed at all; on the contrary, she asked me in return, "You said that the Lord would come this day or that day, but in the end it was not fulfilled. Now the Lord has really come; why don't you believe it?" I argued irrationally, "Although what we said has not been fulfilled, the female Christ you believe in is even more false and is a downright deceiver. …" I kept on blaspheming and slandering Almighty God in a rude and arrogant manner, giving her no more chance to speak. She, with an imploring look, indicated to me anxiously to stop saying such things, yet I simply paid no attention to it. Instead, I ordered her husband (a believer in our denomination who had not accepted Almighty God) to keep a strict watch on her, and frightened him with these words: "If you do not keep an eye on her, one day she will run away with someone else and become his wife." Afterward, I went to the church and gave the brothers and sisters strict orders that they must make a clean break with them and never contact them again, so as not to be "deceived" by them. At the same time, I expelled from our church a brother whom we suspected of having accepted "Eastern Lightning." In those days, I, as if possessed, did my utmost to resist "Eastern Lightning" and pledged to fight to the death in defending our True Jesus Church.
In November 1999, several brothers and sisters in a church in Kaiyuan area accepted Almighty God. On learning of that, I hurried to "rescue" them with several teachers. When we arrived there, I found that all of them were the believers who pursued the Lord very hard at ordinary times. I felt very puzzled why such good brothers and sisters could believe in "Eastern Lightning." In order to win them back, we racked our brains, spoke many blasphemous words against Almighty God, and frightened them with such words as "if you believe in 'Eastern Lightning,' your family will be ruined." However, none of them returned though we had exercised all our skills. During this time, a sister asked me a question: "How do you understand the biblical prophecy concerning Christ's second coming in Luke 17:25: 'But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.'?" To tell the truth, I had taught the Bible for years, but I had never paid attention to this verse. Nervous but stubborn, I prevaricated and answered irrelevantly, "The True Jesus Church is the last living Jesus…." Then, she asked me several more verses concerning the Lord's second coming. I felt surprised inwardly, for the questions she raised seemed very simple but I found it hard to answer them. So, I had no choice but to talk some rambling stuff to fob her off. I did feel that my answers were self-contradictory, but I, at my wit's end, was still unwilling to seek.
At the end of 2001, a brother in Shuangjingzi Church phoned and asked me to hurry to his home and discuss how to deal with the sisters who would preach Almighty God to him. Hanging up the phone, I took the material slandering Almighty God and went there in great haste. After I arrived, we had a thorough discussion and made this decision: We will listen to their fellowship first, and then try to get something on them to humiliate them. The next morning, there came three sisters. Unperturbed, I observed their words and gestures carefully, intending to see how they would seduce us with their beauty, buy us off with money, or threaten us with violence. However, all the morning I neither caught them out in their fellowship nor saw them do anything like those in the rumors, but I only found them sober and decent, friendly and polite. That made me very disappointed. After lunch, in order to find another opportunity to achieve my ulterior ends, I gave them my address and telephone number, pretending to be willing to have a fellowship with them again. Two days later, they came to my home and fellowshipped a lot with me, but I still did not get anything on them. I only increasingly felt that they were better than us and superior to us in every respect, totally different from those in the rumors. Later, they called and invited me over for another fellowship. Having got nothing on them twice, I lost my patience. So, I dropped my mask and showed my true colors by refusing their invitation and speaking many blasphemous words at will. But after this event, I began to doubt the words such as "Those of 'Eastern Lightning' seduce people with beauty and buy them off with money…." Later, when I heard that there were two teachers in Xifeng who had been beaten up due to their refusal to accept "Eastern Lightning," I really hoped to meet them and find out the truth about their being beaten up.
In the spring of 2002, all the teachers in our denomination were to attend a parish meeting in Shenyang City. At Sujiatun Station, I happened to meet those two teachers from Xifeng. So, I hastily asked them, "I heard that you were beaten up and tortured in Qingyuan County by those who preach 'Eastern Lightning.' How did they use violence on you? And how did they tempt you with money and beauty?" However, they said nothing about their being beaten up, tortured, or tempted, but only talked about how those from "Eastern Lightning" fellowshipped with them and read God's word to them, how they tried hard to urge them to stay and advised them to make an investigation, and so on. Their answer puzzled me greatly. "Where does the word 'they have been beaten up' come from?" Then Elder Li, beside them, said, "In order to win people, those of 'Lightning' show great hospitality to them, buying fruits and cooking good meals for them." His remark reminded me of what he had said before, and I realized his words were inconsistent. So I could not help but raise more doubts. "The two teachers before my eyes have dealt with those of 'Eastern Lightning' many times and not accepted their way so far, but not a hair of their heads is injured. Isn't this rather inexplicable?" In the face of this fact, I felt the word was too untrustworthy that "if you refuse to accept 'Eastern Lightning,' they will break your legs, or cut off your nose or ears." Although I had such knowledge, I, foolish and stiff-necked, still stuck to my former belief and continued resisting "Eastern Lightning" instead of seeking it.
Just when I was in the depths of despair, God's salvation came to me once again.
That afternoon, as we left there, Brother Han invited me to his place for a fellowship when I had time; I readily consented. After I got home, I told my wife about it, and she was a little worried that I might run into danger if I went there. Considering again and again the many practical matters that I had experienced during this period of time, I thought that this trip would not be dangerous. So, I told my wife all the things I had heard and seen during this period, such as the desolation of the churches, the elder having bound the brothers and sisters with his inconsistent rumors and lies for a long time, the real living out of humanity of the believers in Almighty God whom I had contacted, Brother Han having accept "Eastern Lightning." Finally, I said, "If we don't seek or investigate it, it will be too late for us to regret by the time we find that 'Eastern Lightning' is really the true way." At my words, my wife was reassured and agreed to my going to seek and investigate it.
When I arrived at Brother Han's place, the brothers and sisters there received me hospitably. Then we had a fellowship from seven in the evening to midnight in which Brother Han explained to me in detail the relations between Jehovah in the Age of the Law, Jesus in the Age of the Grace, and Almighty God in the Age of the Kingdom, the purpose and significance of God's work in different periods, the principle of God's working in an ever-new and never-old way and his work's changing continuously, and so on. After I heard his fellowship, my misgivings cleared up. I came to understand the principle of God's working and the meaning of "keeping up with the Lamb's footsteps" and know that the reason for the desolation of our churches was because God had already made a new start and done a new work, but we failed to keep up with the pace of the Holy Spirit's working and lost the working of Holy Spirit as a result of sticking to the old work. In light of my being unable to accept "God's being incarnated as a female this time," the brother read me two passages of God's word: "Every stage of work God does has practical significance. At that time when Jesus came, he was a male; this time when God comes, he is a female. From this you can see that God's creating both man and woman can be for his work and that with God there is no distinction of gender. When his Spirit comes, he can put on any flesh as he likes, and this flesh can represent him. Whether this flesh is male or female, he can represent God as long as he is God's incarnated flesh. … God has been incarnated twice. Needless to say, his incarnation in the end time is the last one, and he has come to manifest all his deeds. If in this stage God were not incarnated to personally work for people to see, then in their notions they would forever believe that God is only male and not female." "People always believe that God is male and that God always loathes women and will not save women. If that were the case, wouldn't all women who were created by Jehovah and who have also been corrupted never have the opportunity to be saved? Then wouldn't it have been meaningless for Jehovah to create the woman, Eve? Wouldn't women perish eternally?" Pondering over these words, I deeply felt that the work of God was so wise. God's being incarnated as a female this time has not only corrected people's erroneous knowledge of God, but removed their notion that God must be a "male," so that they have gained a correct knowledge of God: God is Spirit and with God there is no gender difference. And they have also understood that every stage of God's work has its practical significance, so the created man should not draw any conclusion about God's work.
Brothers and sisters of all sects and denominations, seek! Investigate! As long as we have a little desire to seek, Almighty God will open our spiritual eyes so that we will see the mysteries that we have never seen and receive the truths that we have never heard. Brothers and sisters, Almighty God is precisely the Savior Jesus who has returned in the end time. God has come to the world and done a new work. He has held a great feast for us and prepared a beautiful heaven and earth for us. Before the door of his salvation is closed, Almighty God welcomes your coming all the time!
I was formerly a worker of the Way of Life Church, and was often sent to various places to preach. Later, I strayed into the way of the Pharisees, the way of opposing God. It was Almighty God who awakened my heart and so I was saved.

Proximate composition of three marine fishes of Chandipur, Bay of Bengal, India
Author(s): Swati Sucharita Mohanty, Bishnu Prasad Dash, Debansu S. Pramanik
Abstract: Marine fishes have been recognized for high quality protein and essential fatty acids which play a vital role in human being for nutrition, disease prevention and quality of fish is assessed from biochemical composition only. Present study was carried out to analyze the biochemical composition % of three economically important fish species Hilsa ilisha, Sillago sihama and Mugil cephalus in Chandipur, Bay of Bengal on seasonal basis from March 2010 to February 2011 for a period of 2 years. Moisture content was highest in S. sihama (57.83 ±0.73) whereas protein and lipid % (21.89 ±0.42, 19.33 ±0.27) in H. ilisha. Ash content was independent of sex, size and season. No significant differences were observed (F =3.809, F =35.402, F =2955.39, P≤0.01) between H. ilisha and M. cephalus (Duncans Multiple Range Test). Result demonstrated that moisture content was high when lipid was low indicating inverse relationship with each other and lipid content was much more in H. ilisha than other two species.

Why Do Dogs Tilt Their Heads? Scientists Look at What's Going On in Their Minds
November 12, 2021 tol-concom
You've probably seen dogs tilt their head. It's adorable, but why do they do it? According to scientists, it may be a sign of concentration and memory recall.
Several animals, including humans, present an asymmetry in the way they move or perceive the environment through their senses. For instance, one can prefer an ear or an eye over the other when processing a vocal signal or an image. In dogs, these asymmetries manifest in behaviors such as tail wagging, nostril use while sniffing, or even paw preference when trying to grasp something out of their reach.
"Tilting the head is yet another asymmetrical movement in dogs, but it had never been studied. We investigated the frequency and direction of this behavior in response to a specific human verbal vocalization: when the owner asks the dog to bring a toy by saying its name. We did so after realizing that it often happened when the dogs were listening to their owners," explains Dr. Andrea Sommese, lead researcher for this study, from the Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest.
The researchers analyzed the videos collected during a previous study that showed not every dog could learn toy names after three months of intensive training. The test was fairly easy to execute: the toys were placed in one room and the owner in another, together with the experimenter. In each trial, the owner asked the dog to fetch a specific toy by saying its name.
"Over the course of two studies, carried out in several months, we observed the two groups of dogs: 33 typical dogs and [what turned out to be] seven Gifted Word Learner dogs", continues Dr. Sommese.
For this study, the group of scientists recorded the presence (or absence) of head-tilts when the owner requested the toys, and also analyzed the side of the tilt.
The Gifted dogs—who can be seen in the Genius Dog Challenge, a series of live broadcasted experiments that become viral over social media—very often tilted their head upon hearing the owner's request for a named toy, while typical dogs rarely did. That is why the researchers then decided to observe head tilts only in the gifted dogs during two further similar experiments, with more toys involved.
The researchers found that the side towards which the dogs tilted their heads was stable for each individual, across the experiments that spanned over 24 months.
"It seems that there is a relationship between success in retrieving a named toy and frequent head tilts upon hearing its name.
That is why we suggest an association between head-tilting and processing relevant and meaningful stimuli" clarifies Shany Dror, co-author of the study.
"It is important to notice that this study only investigated head tilts during a very specific dog-owner communicative interaction: when the owner asks the dog to fetch a named toy. Hence, it is important to refrain from thinking that only Gifted Word Learner dogs tilt their heads in other situations not tested in this study" adds Andrea Temesi, another researcher working on the project, published in Animal Cognition journal.
"To do this, we asked the owners to set up two cameras connected to a Livestream software, so we could fully monitor the dogs' and their owners' behaviour," says Dr. Claudia Fugazza, co-author of the study. "This way the COVID restrictions and lockdowns did not stop our research".
Often owners observe dogs tilting their heads and we still do not have a full understanding of the function and circumstances in which this behavior happens. However, this study is the first step in a direction that shows how this trait could be related to dogs' sweet attempts to understand us.

Is It Going To Be 2017 Mazda CX-5 Or 2018?
When the next gen 2017 Mazda CX-5 arrived at the LA Auto Show we found a lot out about it but one thing that wasn't made clear was whether the vehicle would be launched as the 2017 version or if it would be the 2018 version.
The Mazda CX-5 is taking the company into the premium market, as is the rest of the line-up. However this is going to be a slow move, but slowly but surely Mazda is taking steps closer to the vehicles from Audi and Porsche.
So is this going to be the Mazda CX-5 2017 or is it going to be the 2018 version? We did hear that it was going to be the 2018 version but of course it hasn't been out of the question for it to be this year's model.
The Honda CR-V was supposed to be coming out in 2018 but then it was said that it was going to be the 2017 model. We think that the same could apply to the 2017 Mazda CX-5.
If it wasn't going to be a 2017, the current new vehicles would have come out as 2017 instead of the odd "2016.5". Even though they'll arrive late-spring, the new model has already been released in Japan. So I think it's still early enough that it will be 2017. If they go with 2018, then a 2017 CX-5 will never exist!

One day after Malin Akerman exclusively shared the news of her pregnancy with Us Weekly, the Wanderlust star showed off her tiny baby bump at the Environmental Media Awards in Burbank, California, September 29.
Wearing an Alexx Jae & Milk dress, Akerman looked radiant as she posed for photographers on the red carpet. This will be the first child for Akerman and her husband of five years, Roberto Zincone — the drummer in her former alternative rock band The Petalstones.
"I'm about three months now," Akerman told Us on the red carpet. "It's just the beginning!"
The 34-year-old actress — whose hit films include The Proposal, Rock of Ages and The Heartbreak Kid — admitted that she's been craving "the most random things — fries and grilled cheese sandwiches, and everything that's bad for you. But it tastes so good!"
Akerman revealed that her pregnancy "was kind of planned," explaining, "We took the goalie out of the net and said, 'Let's see what happens.' Because you never know how long it's going to take. We got lucky."
For the time being, Akerman and her husband are enjoying the early stages of her pregnancy. "It's just been so new and early, we haven't even thought about a baby's room or anything," the Watchmen actress told Us.

Winds of the North: A Viking Age RPG and Gamebook Hybrid
May 27, 2021 | Stories | 0 comments
Begin a solo RPG adventure in the Viking Age as spring begins for a new character with Winds of the North.
There are dozens of unplayed board games, solo RPGs, gamebooks, and practically anything else in the realm of tabletop games I want to get to. Yet I simply couldn't pass up the opportunity to playtest Winds of the North! The premise sounded intriguing and I didn't need to spend a lot of time learning something new. So, onto this adventure!
I'm part of the playtest! Note that this means that nothing is finalized yet. I've included some samples of the PDF with the designer's permission. If you would like to learn more or sign up for playtesting, visit Thomas King's website!
Game Name: Winds of the North
Publication Year: Unreleased (2021)
Designer: Thomas King
Artist: Nils Bergslien
Publisher: Unpublished (Self-Published)
Solo Mode: Designed for Solo
This is an interesting mix of solo RPG and gamebook mechanics. There are choices to make and paragraphs to read, yet the core element is 1d8 to resolve randomness. Over the course of weeks, months, seasons, and years, a single character must learn to survive and thrive.
Preparing to Play
We all know what it's like to get something new to the table. There's unpacking, setting up components, reading the rules, and a whole process that takes time!
Some are easier than others, like RPGs or gamebooks that can begin with very little preparation. This isn't always the case, yet it's usually clear how much time is needed.
In this case, I could dive right in! Character creation is simple with minimal decisions and quick steps.
Granted, I decided to play almost exclusively digitally and made documents for myself. So… I made it harder. Ha ha!
Seasonal Gameplay
I don't know what it is, but if you put seasons and weather in front of me, I usually can't look away! They're simple concepts that can add a lot to various types of games.
Weeks and months pass to indicate the seasons. A new roll for weekly weather provides possible setbacks and dangers out in the wilderness. Rain is no joke!
Activities differ slightly by season with primary and secondary options. But only 2 may be chosen each week.
This is mainly what the system consists of. It's simple but provides the basis for a rich narrative. More on that soon!
Maybe I can be roped in by seasons and weather tables, yet there's one more aspect that I always enjoy. Randomness! And this combination of RPG and gamebook has it all.
Not everything requires a roll, of course, because that could get tedious. Yet in certain instances, something unexpected happens and a roll determines the outcome.
This example shows how an animal might wander off. A simple roll plus modifier provides the basis for the story.
Watch out for the other option with no animal! But this is it. Or is it? Let's move to the story of the first spring!
Vigdis Snorridottir
Wiser than most and rugged from surviving when none expected her to, Vigdis is fiercely independent and resourceful. She keeps her feet rooted to the ground and rarely ventures near the sea. There are stories told of her years spent alone, seemingly lost to the wilds. Yet Vigdis survived against all odds and returned with the wisdom that will carry her. She fears only that which she does not know. Despite her knowledge, Vigdis is still learning.

Inheriting the Family Farm
When Vigdis found her way home, she enjoyed a bittersweet reunion with her family. A poorly planned summer raid left her father with a fatal wound. He passed the farm to her, knowing the rest of the family could not handle the responsibility. Vigdis spent last autumn and winter ensuring everyone lived. And that she did. But now, in her first spring at home, she must work not to survive, but grow and thrive. Death is never far away.

A Tale of Early Spring
Fair weather opened up an opportunity for Vigdis to take in her surroundings and explore. A local lord was constructing a hall not far from the farm. He was rather impressed with her wisdom and strength as she helped guide a wooden column into place. Food and wood were plentiful, though an extra servant was politely refused. The farm was full.
The market proved quite useful, although Vigdis foolishly spent most of the silver rather quickly. Still, a goat and seeds were necessary. As was the ale for the monthly celebration! Happiness was not something to neglect. That first month of spring had very little rain and resulted in fields of barley and peas, along with a healthy wood supply.
Vigdis moved into the second month in a good position. She was quite successful on the farm, meager as it was. Alas, branching out into mining and fishing was far from lucrative and she wasted weeks for very little reward. Most important was her decision to start construction on a smokehouse to be prepared for winter well ahead of time.
A fine hunt rewarded the family with delicious meat that would be added to another feast to celebrate. The only trouble was how the farm was still barely able to sustain the family. Vigdis saw them living from week to week, scrambling to gather enough resources. In a terrible bit of luck, wild horses roamed nearby and she failed to capture a new mount.
Forward to a Late Spring Disaster
The latter part of the spring season came with unpredictable rain and storms. Vigdis avoided any risky activities and often stuck to crafting or milking the goats. It was simple and rather mundane work, yet the farm's food and meat supplies continued to grow. She also made her own bow and shield, mainly to be prepared for hunting.
Yet in the second week of that final month, trouble found Vigdis. She heard talk of a troll-born warrior who was a threat to all. If the rumors were true, it would be wise to wait and see if he ever appeared. Alas, she approached his den and engaged in the most lopsided combat possible. An early hit boosted her confidence a little too much against her enemy.
Vigdis suffered a searing wound that threw her off balance and caused her to hurt herself. There was nothing for it: She fell, on the brink of sudden death. By sheer luck (I rolled an 8!) she lived to tell the tale but had to flee the battle. Rumors of her hubris and foolishness made the family avoid the village for the rest of the month to hide their shame.
After resting to slightly heal her wounds, Vigdis had to ensure there was enough food and resources to last into the summer heat. The goats were a joy to be around and took her mind off the battle with the troll-born warrior. It would still take weeks to get back her strength. At least the household completed the smokehouse before summer!
An Ancient Hex Kit Map
With everything else customized, I knew just what I wanted to do about tracking discoveries on the map! This is a map created with Hex Kit using an older map style.
Accurate for mapmaking during the Viking Age? I have no idea, but it gave me the right sort of feeling!
There are 3 columns of sea spaces, 2 columns of coastal spaces, the farm, and 5 columns of land spaces. The blue pin indicates where the single discovery was made.
I also have the ability to add notes to hexes in a separate little module, so I can keep everything neatly organized.
The Little Details
Upon closer inspection, it should be clear that there are small differences, even in the seemingly identical hexes.
Building a coastline takes some patience with layers, but this was very simple. I wonder what secrets lie in this bay. Might that jutting piece of land harbor a sunken ship?
Larger maps often lead to more interesting stories and possibilities, yet there's nothing lacking here! I hope Vigdis will find much more in her journey.
Just no more troll-born warriors, please! The option to flee is going to be a top option next time. Ha ha!

Are you currently playtesting Winds of the North? What sorts of events have befallen your character? There are elements that may feel repetitive, but I love how I don't have to build a world and spend a lot of time thinking about it. Sometimes that's fun, though! Vigdis already nearly died so I'm hoping that summer is a little more… Restful. Ha ha!

As part of a Thanksgiving Day promotion, I offered to interview any of my readers or other theatre professionals. Here is the first of those interviews.
Martin Blank is the author of ten plays. His new full-length dark comedy, No Rest for the Wicked, will receive a reading at the Kennedy Center in September. His full-length drama, The Law of Return, was produced at Center Stage Theater, Jerusalem, Maryland Ensemble Theatre, and was optioned for Broadway. His full-length comedy, Scenes from Life in America,was seen in New York at Ensemble Studio Theatre's Octoberfest. He has received new play commissions from the American Jewish Theater, Theatre Ariel, and the Georgetown Theatre Company and is published by Smith & Kraus. He has served as Artistic Associate for the American Jewish Theatre and American Place Theatre, New York City, as well as Literary Manager, Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company, and Founding Artistic Director, Theater J. Currently, he is Artistic Director for American Ensemble Theater. He attended the University of Maryland and the Yale School of Drama.
When did you first get involved in theatre and when did you know it was going to become your passion?
I produced and directed shows in my living room when I was four. However, in college, I worked as a sound designer, and the tech crew did a parody of each show at the end of a run. I started writing the parodies and when I saw people doubling over in laughter, I was hooked. I actually was on track to become an economist!
What was the best show you've ever seen?
If you could work with anyone in the world, who would you choose?
What's coming up for you this year?
A new comedy, No Rest for the Wicked. A dark updated spin on Rip van Winkle, getting a reading at the Kennedy Center in September.
Open forum: What do you want to say to the people out on the blogosphere reading this right now?
production people are working on this show! As well as a knockout director and five hilarious actors. Six performances January 21 to February 6. Tickets are only $10!
