(“Normal” weight for her is supposedly below 155 pounds she’s currently “obese”). Oprah is between 5-foot-6 and 5-foot-7, so it’s worth noting that, even when she’s in a thin period, she’s almost always “overweight” according to the government’s preposterous definitions. ![]() Three years ago, during a thin cycle, she weighed 160 today she weighs 200. Her weight has fluctuated between 150 pounds (she achieved this about 20 years ago, by losing 67 pounds after eating no solid food for several months) and 237 pounds.

He knows his views will be seen as controversial by some of his contemporaries, and he’s out to convince. That should be a good enough reason for anyone to read it.ĭarwin describes his masterpiece as ‘one long argument’. To read Origin is to have the theory explained to you by the man himself. Darwin’s great theory of evolution by means of natural selection forms the foundation of modern biology. True, some of the language is occasionally heavy going-Darwin wrote in haste, had a thing for double negatives and rogue commas, and occasionally embarked on convoluted, heavily nested sentences requiring several deep breaths to read out loud-but, minor stylistic concerns aside, over a century and a half after its publication, Origin is still a rewarding read for anyone wanting to get inside the mind of one of the most important figures in the history of science. ![]() As revolutionary scientific works go, Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species is remarkably accessible to the ordinary reader. ![]() 5/18/2023 0 Comments The snail and the whale gruffalo![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() MMO, Natural England and Macmillan Children’s Books, want to encourage families to go on their own big adventures this summer, exploring the England Coast Path and marine areas.

I imagined the dead as a passive zombie horde, at best. But I also hated Hades, Avernus, Annwn, and any other variant I ran across. ![]() ![]() Not the Christian Hell, for certain I was super-scared of that on a visceral level.
