Another interesting note if you are Jewish: Cyrus' reign and acts toward Israel were foretold 150 years earlier in the book of Isaiah (chapter 44-45). Cyrus is mentioned by name in that passage.

In what ways do you think that the cultural definition of gender is influenced by biological pressures? For example, in your example about differing responses to rowdiness, is it possible that boys are more biologically disposed to be physically energetic, and that tendency has shaped the cultural expectation? So saying "boys will be boys" is saying "boys are more biologically likely to be physically energetic, so we give them a greater leeway when it comes to controlling their behavior."

Hi James! Fellow below-shoulder amputee here. When wearing the arm how does the weight sit? Most days I go sans-prosthesis, because the weight of the arm sits so awkwardly that I feel that I am being more hindered than helped.
