Cómo lograr relaciones permanentes, maduras, y satisfactorias.
When an image of Jesus appears on the side of a Tim Hortons restaurant in Nately, Nova Scotia, life is forever changed. The town's inhabitants are challenged to ask difficult questions about faith, life and love with sometimes moving, sometimes hilarious results. Complicating the matter, of course, are the more mundane questions of whether this appearance is a miracle, an accident or quite possibly even a hoax. At the centre of this wickedly entertaining play resides the more existential and personal question of what has happened to our notion of meaning and ethics in the strip-mall culture of concrete and crass competition which has replaced a more pastoral and rural life of care for the earth, the cycle of the seasons and its festivals, and the blessings of renewal in the family. Has religion lost the ability to mediate these two conditions, or did it ever really have that power? Halo is a brilliant examination of the need to believe and the power of forgiveness. Cast of three women and four men.
According to Newfoundland's first premier, Joey Smallwood, the province was dragged "kicking and screaming into the twentieth century" by ambitious government -resettlement plans to depopulate small fishing outports. Through a kind of carrot-and-stick approach, communities were -encouraged to abandon themselves in -exchange for financial aid and the promise of -better services in centralized "growth towns." More than thirty thousand Newfoundlanders relocated under this plan -between 1954 and 1975. Set in a one-room schoolhouse during the -decisive evening of a -community's vote on whether to stay or leave, Whereverville is an intriguing reversal of and -homage to Bertolt Brecht's The Caucasian Chalk -Circle. Whereas in Brecht's play the conclusion of the conflict over a community is that "those best able to take care of the land should possess it," in -MacDonald's play, it is that "those no longer able to take care of the land should leave it." In both plays, it is the heart and mind of a young woman bereft of her future on which the action turns.It is Loam Bay's schoolteacher, Abby Shea, herself "from away," who holds the deciding vote as she struggles with her own phantom attachment to the community, its citizens, and its ghosts of times past, and it is she who must learn that sometimes, in order to keep what we hold most dear, we must give it away--that "nothing lasts."
MalÖrt may be the worst thing you’ll ever taste. But Jeppson’s MalÖrt is no stunt. Known primarily for its intense bitterness—such bitterness that it has been compared to “a forest fire, if the forest was made of earwax”—it is rooted in centuries-old Swedish tradition. It’s a fluke to have ever existed in the United States and flukier still to have survived 100 years. Least likely of all: Jeppson’s MalÖrt becoming the cultural sensation it is today.MalÖrt is a story of love, relationships and how one generation finds meaning where generations before did not. Such transformations happen in art, in history, and in food, and it happened to Jeppson’s MalÖrt.Author and beer expert Josh Noel unpacks a uniquely American tale, equal parts culture, business, and personal relationships as well as secret love, federal prison, a David vs. Goliath court battle, and, ultimately, the sale of Jeppson’s MalÖrt, in 2018, to make an unlikely millionaire of Pat Gabelick, a 74-year-old Chicago woman who spent much of her life as a legal secretary.MalÖrt isn’t just the story of one brazen liquor—it is the story of modern tastes and cultural shifts.
Do you sometimes wonder why trying to live a peaceful, loving life seems to be such a struggle? The Enlightened Ego offers insights into why our desire to be calm and compassionate is often derailed by fear and defensiveness. Kelly Beninga explains the biological basis for our ego's distrustful and protective nature, and outlines a path of transcendence to a more enlightened state. By releasing the ego's grip and embracing our spiritual selves, we find a life of freedom and inner peace.
Founded in 1933, the Seattle Art Museum is home to a premier collection of Chinese art. This book is the first to chronicle and analyze the growth of the collection, which was largely assembled during the first half of the twentieth century. Reviewing more than one hundred boxes of museum archives, annual reports, correspondences, and available records of all transactions, Josh Yiu provides a nuanced account of Seattle's Chinese art collection, and reconsiders the "golden age" of collecting Chinese art in the early twentieth century. Yiu demonstrates the challenges for Westerners to acquire authentic objects of historical significance when Chinese art study in the West was in its nascent stage. He argues that a first-rate collection is a condition that needs to be maintained through relentless quest for superior objects. As a case in point, Seattle's collection of more than 2,500 objects was not merely accumulated over time, but distilled through decades of nimble acquisitions and deaccessions.The main figure behind this story is the founding director Dr. Richard Fuller (1897–1976), who started collecting as early as the 1910s. In contrast to conventional hagiographical accounts of museum patrons, Yiu shows how Fuller's interest shifted from tourist souvenirs to high-quality objects that represent China's artistic legacy, and how he refined the collection over time. Gradually Fuller became a great collector through diligent study and earnest consultation with experts, such as Sherman Lee. The book thus serves as a vivid reminder that good collection requires much more than resources and "good taste."
Old tongues blend with new actions as the modern hipsinisters vie to create a new language of the literary lost. At the center is Charlie Fell, a twentysomething who can't make up his mind on his medium, his lovers, and his position in life.
