5/21/2023 0 Comments The chuang tzu![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In fact, Taoism had not yet evolved into the balance of forces, the emphasis of flow, or the fidelity to one’s own nature as we know it today. Taoism, the philosophical school with which Chuang Tzu is most associated, was not a predominant one during his time. Let’s explore the man, the way of Chuang Tzu, and a few fundamental practices of Taoism. He wrote (although scholars debate exactly which portions he wrote himself) a book known by his name, the Zhuangzi, which is one of a few fundamental texts of Taoism. Chuang Tzu (or Zhuangzi) was a key contributor to what is known as a golden age of Chinese philosophy. He was an influential Chinese philosopher who lived around the 4th century BC. Who was Chuang Tzu? He was a champion of the individual, he drew lines in the sand against established power structures, and he often used humor and colorful paradox to convey his teachings. ![]() ![]() ![]() I glance through them, I don't recall them no detail (in some corner) ever interrupts my reading: I am interested in them (as I am interested in the world), I do not love them. These journalistic photographs are received (all at once), perceived. In these images, no punctum: a certain shock-the literal can traumatize -but no disturbance the photograph can "shout," not wound. The unary Photograph has every reason to be banal, "unity" of composition being the first rule of vulgar (and notably, of academic) rhetoric: "The subject," says one handbook for amateur photographers, "must be simple, free of useless accessories this is called the Search for Unity." News photographs are very often unary (the unary photograph is not necessarily tranquil). ![]() "The Photograph is unary when it emphatically transforms "reality" without doubling it, without making it vacillate (emphasis is a power of cohesion) : no duality, no indirection, no disturbance. ![]() Barthes distinguishes erotica from pornographic photographs as follows. ![]() 5/21/2023 0 Comments A perfect amish romance![]() She arranges for Kayla Kaufman to be his tutor. When Aaron asks bookmobile librarian Sarah Anne Miller for some additional study guides, she does one better. But he can’t let his Amish family know, not when his older brother already left the faith just a year after getting baptized, practically crippling the family. The first in this “book lover’s dream” ( Carla Laureano, author of Under Scottish Stars) series from the New York Times bestselling author of The Loyal One follows a bookmobile driver-turned-matchmaker as she discovers that her Amish patrons need a whole lot more than just something to read.Īaron Coblentz has a secret: he’s been studying to take the GED. ![]() 5/21/2023 0 Comments The memeing of mark fisher![]() ![]() The strategy was to plant a series of connected references that nudge and guide their interests over time. My hope was that they would embrace this new way of thinking and ultimately amplify that message on their own. The goal of this project was to plant a progressive and politically rehabilitative idea within these at-risk communities. In the case of climate change, their concerns are not totally unwarranted but radical ideas like eco-extremism and anti-natalism are not politically helpful. These teens had embraced an extreme form of pessimism verging on self-destruction. ![]() An essential part of today’s info-echo chambers is building up resistance to counter-narratives. The group profiled in Politigram & the Post-left was a uniquely at-risk demographic that had fallen through the cracks of conventional counter-messaging. When I speak with radical young people, I always try to affirm their political anxieties but redirect their interests and activities toward more productive ends. I will do my best to tell this story in a way that does not identify anyone. So I started several anonymous meme accounts across various social media platforms. ![]() Through these conversations, I realized that little (if any) positive messaging would be able to penetrate unless that signal came from inside their trusted communities. After publishing Politigram and the Post-left, I spoke with many of the users profiled. In late 2018, I began a secret 18 month long project to infiltrate and positively influence radical online Gen Z communities. ![]() ![]() How many more would she make before she remembered to think before she acted, to engage brain before she spoke? Since she’d been the same for all twenty-four years of her life, Lili suspected nothing would change for the next twenty-four, assuming she lived that long, and that was looking increasingly unlikely.

Despite intense opposition, Winston Churchill personally gave Stirling permission to recruit the toughest, brightest and most ruthless soldiers he could find. In the summer of 1941, at the height of the war in the Western Desert, a bored and eccentric young officer, David Stirling, came up with a plan that was radical and entirely against the rules: a small undercover unit that would inflict mayhem behind enemy lines.

Wedgwood’s The Thirty Years War covers nearly a half century of history from the causes that led to the conflict through its deadly progression and finally it’s aftereffects.įrom the outset Wedgwood sets the German domestic and the continental political situations in focus by stating that everyone was expecting war but between Spain and the Dutch while the German economy was on the decline due to the rise of new trading patterns over the course of the last century. War is hell, just imagine it lasting for an entire generation with armies crisscrossing the same ground again and again producing famine, depopulation, and disease all in the name of religion, nationalism, and then finally simple greed. ![]() 5/21/2023 0 Comments Unveiled by Carolyn Morgan![]() ![]() Her journey becomes one of self-discovery as the Newfoundland-Italy connection deepens and the mystery about the model who posed for Giovanni Strazza unfolds. ![]() Rebecca’s search is a labour of love as it takes her across the majestic cities and countrysides of Italy-from Milan to Rome, from Florence to Vinci, and finally to Piedmont, where her answers await.

She discovers that although the work is signed by Strazza, it is not listed with his other sculptures, and there are no existing documents for the sale of the work. Rebecca can’t help but wonder why in 1856 the Italian artist allowed such a brilliant example of his work to come to this remote island. Its existence is one of the best-kept secrets in North America. The sculpture was created in Italy in the mid-1800s but is housed at the Presentation Convent in St. In the twenty-first century, Rebecca Howell is transfixed by the beauty of Giovanni Strazza’s masterpiece the Veiled Virgin. ![]() 5/20/2023 0 Comments The sport of kings by ce morgan![]() It’s there that his fate will become forever entwined with the Forge’s, as Henry, Henrietta and Allmon, each stake their future in Hellsmouth, a filly bred from champions that could win it all.
