Nightmare Fuel - The Science of...

Nina Nesseth

Do you like scary movies? Have you ever wondered why? 
 
 
 
In Nightmare Fuel, Nina Nesseth explores the strange and often unexpected science of fear through the lenses of psychology and physiology. How do horror films get under our skin? And why do we keep coming back for more? 
 
 
 
Horror films promise an experience: fear. But how exactly do filmmakers pull this off? The truth is, there's more to it than just loud noises and creepy images. 
 
 
 
With the affection of a true horror fan and the critical analysis of a scientist, Nesseth explains how audiences engage horror with both their brains and bodies, and teases apart the elements that make horror films tick. Nightmare Fuel covers everything from jump scares to creature features, serial killers to the undead, and the fears that stick around to those that fade over time. 
 
 
 
With in-depth discussions and spotlight features of some of horror's most popular films—from classics like The Exorcist to modern hits like Hereditary—and interviews with directors, film editors, composers, and horror academics, Nightmare Fuel is a deep dive into the science of fear, a celebration of the genre, and a survival guide for going to bed after the credits roll.

A Rare Recording of Richard...

Richard Wurmbrand

Richard Wurmbrand, born on March 24, 1909, was a Romanian Christian minister of Jewish descent. He was a youth during a time of anti-Semitic activity in Romania, but it was later, after becoming a believer in Jesus Christ as Messiah, and daring to publicly say that Communism and Christianity were not compatible, that he experienced imprisonment and torture for his beliefs. After serving five years of a second prison sentence, he was ransomed for $10,000. After spending time in Norway and England, he and his wife Sabina, who had also been imprisoned, emigrated to America and dedicated the rest of their lives to publicizing and helping Christians who are persecuted for their beliefs. He wrote more than eighteen books, translated into more than 60 languages, the most widely known being "Tortured for Christ." He founded the international organization, Voice Of The Martyrs, which aids Christians around the world who are persecuted for their faith. Wurmbrand died on February 17, 2001. Recording obtained and published by Rick Sheridan.

Plantagenet Princesses - The...

Douglas Boyd

A unique look at the lives of two daughters that highlights the dichotomy of lives of royal women, as both daughters and mothers of kings, who also knew both prison and power. 
 
 
 
The names of few medieval monarchs and their queens are better known than Eleanor of Aquitaine, uniquely queen of France and queen of England, and her second husband Henry II. Although academically labeled "medieval," their era was the violent transition from the Dark Ages, when countries' borders were defined with fire and sword. If princes fought for their succession to crowns, the princesses were traded—usually by their mothers—to strangers for political power without the bloodshed. Years before what would today be marriageable age, royal girls were dispatched to countries whose speech was unknown to them and there became the property of unknown men. Eleanor's daughters Marie and Alix were abandoned in Paris when she divorced Louis VII of France. By Henry II, she bore Matilda, Aliénor, and Joanna. Joanna was imprisoned by William II of Sicily and worse treated by her brutal second husband in Toulouse. If Eleanor was libeled as a whore, Aliénor's descendants include two saints, Louis of France and Fernando of Spain. And then there were the illegitimate daughters, whose lives read like novels . . .

Enneagram - Create a Balance In...

Kevin Hallstone

Why do we search for balance in our lives? The answer is simple, and nearly all of us know it. Some of us simply don't want to accept the truth, while some of us want to find solutions for the imbalance in our lives. The importance of balance cannot be undermined, considering that it brings with its calmness, peace, happiness, and the strength to face any kind of diversity. With balance come increased productivity and efficiency and untold happiness and joy.  
A balanced person is physically, emotionally, and mentally healthy and lives a meaningful and contented life, regardless of the challenges he or she faces. Feelings of imbalance include mental, emotional, and physical sickness, fear, unease, discomforts of all kinds, and suffering.  
Signs of Mental Balance  
The answers to the following questions will help you understand if you have mental balance and stability: 
Do you see the world and yourself clearly without the truth being warped in mire and ambiguity? 
Do you feel swept away by the veils that cover the truths of your life? 
Do you attempt to see the truth as it is instead of trying to explain it away with some vague explanations just to make it agree with your perception?  
Do you deliberately use your mind as a sense organ or something that you would simply brush as an appendage that comes in the way of your life?
