Do you have filter fatigue? You're not alone: This season, designers are reflecting our decidedly flawed world with perfectly imperfect pieces— which just ...
The imperfection resonated, too: This was a collection emphatically about the marvelous unfinishedness of life, with all its ebbs and flows; a celebration of being in process. Perhaps, I mused, gazing out at the lowering sun, the way forward was to embrace the tangle and the work of unknotting it. Its plot is a pileup of mistakes, on a spectrum from oblivious error to historic catastrophe, yet the note Almodóvar lands on is one of uplift: bonds of love forged out of pain and confusion and complexity.

“I love modular things and lately these Japanese Gundams have really informed some of my silhouettes, as well as the idea that I want my pieces to feel modular.” He adds, “I always have my hand in everything all at once, twirling around this desk, touching this and that, moving between books and materials and images.” And the teapot and knights helmet? “These objects just have such a magical quality about them.” So do the clothes that fill the rest of the room. There are hundreds of Swarovski crystals divided by color in a lucite container, a silver antique teapot and a knight’s helmet.

But Poland’s emergence as a key player in helping shape the outcome of the war in Ukraine isn’t just about Warsaw’s deft negotiation game and pressure tactics, or its investment in hard power — it’s also about the unyielding logic of geopolitics. Department of Defense or the U.S. In contrast, Warsaw’s leadership on the Leopard issue and, most importantly, Poland’s ability to speak not just on behalf of the Baltic states but Finland and other mainstays of Western consensus also suggests that Europe’s strategic center is moving east.

However, the Continent’s shifting internal dynamics aren’t just about political gamesmanship or building coalitions within NATO — ultimately, they’re about hard power and risk-taking. This was, undoubtedly, a political win for Poland — but the Leopard 2 coalition that Warsaw built stretches beyond Central Europe. Thus, the U.S. And though they are in better shape than the Bundeswehr, the armies of the United Kingdom and France — Europe’s traditional key players when it comes to defense — are struggling as well: The British army is
Nathan Bean's article in Ontario Farmer shows how youth are interested in their future and the future of the agriculture industry.
“There are not a lot of youth involved,” Bean said.” The average age of a farmer I believe is over 50, which kind of speaks volumes to the current situation … The Grade 11 student is unsure of what he wants to do for a career. While many were expected, Bean said some booths came out of left field: like the Libro Credit Union booth that spoke about the farming financials.

The artist's new show, “Nicole Eisenman: Prince,” at Print Center New York exhibits a decade-plus experiment with the form.
Eisenman’s body of work that has positioned her as one of the most important artists working today and earned her a MacArthur award. There’s a whole ocean of feeling in that one languid teardrop. She packed her paints into a trunk, washed the walls of her studio in a fresh coat of white, and got to the formidable work of starting from scratch—this time as a printmaker.
Compassionate listening is an overlooked practice, but urgently needed in both interpersonal and political communications.
Underlying genuine deep listening is the genuine concern for others’ well-being: If we don’t care about others’ suffering, why would we listen to what they have to say? That’s because it involves actively looking into our own biases and prejudices, which can open up further possibilities to improve the conversation. [every being is interdependent and interconnected](https://doi.org/10.1007/s12671-020-01544-x). In the Buddhist tradition, equanimity is generally associated with non-attachment, or letting go of ourselves. [“Compassionate listening”](https://www.psychologytoday.com/ca/blog/suffer-the-children/201901/6-tips-compassionate-listening) is critical to interpersonal and political communication, because without it, more talking can exacerbate the existing divides and misunderstandings. It requires a willingness and effort to understand others. He’s the late Zen Buddhist monk who initiated [engaged Buddhism](https://doi.org/10.1093/acrefore/9780199340378.013.755) and illuminated for decades how to practice mindfulness in daily life. Instead, it involves switching the focus from self to others. It helps us change habitual self-referencing to engage with the world from the perspective of others.
