Summary

The perfect antidote to his 'Black Dog', a depression that blighted his working life, Churchill took to painting with gusto. Picking up a paintbrush for the first time at the age of forty, Winston Churchill found in painting a passion that was to remain his constant companion. This glorious essay exudes his compulsion for a hobby that allowed him peace during his dark days, and richly rewarded a nation with a treasure trove of work.

    Whether or not it was actually written by Aeschylus, as is much disputed, "Prometheus Bound" is a powerful statement on behalf of free humanity in the face of what often seem like the impersonal, implacable Forces that rule the Universe.  As one of the most compelling rebel manifestos ever composed, it has appealed not only to the expected host of scholars of Greek drama, but also to a fascinatingly free-spirited array of translators, especially since the early 19th century; Percy Bysshe Shelley, Henry David Thoreau, and activist-poet Augusta Webster are among those who have tried their poetic and linguistic powers at rendering it into English.  Elizabeth Barrett Browning published not one but two completely different translations of it, the first in 1833 when she was twenty-seven years old and the second eighteen years later.  It is this second, far greater, translation presented here. - Summary by Expatriate

    This program is read by the author, and includes an introduction written by Pharrell, and read by Nick Cannon.JAY-Z: Made in America is the fruit of Michael Eric Dyson's decade of teaching the work of one of the greatest poets this nation has produced, as gifted a wordsmith as Walt Whitman, Robert Frost and Rita Dove. But as a rapper, he's sometimes not given the credit he deserves for just how great an artist he's been for so long. 
    This audiobook wrestles with the biggest themes of JAY-Z's career, including hustling, and it recognizes the way that he's always weaved politics into his music, making important statements about race, criminal justice, black wealth and social injustice. As he enters his fifties, and to mark his thirty years as a recording artist, this is the perfect time to take a look at JAY-Z's career and his role in making this nation what it is today. In many ways, this is JAY-Z's America as much as it's Pelosi's America, or Trump's America, or Martin Luther King's America. JAY-Z has given this country a language to think with and words to live by.

    La toute dernière compilation intitulée Moksha, du compositeur Alexandre Stanké nous offre une heure de pur plaisir musical et de détente profonde. Les 15 compositions inédites qui la constituent ont en commun un style dépouillé, un rythme naturel et une ligne musicale vibrante. Cette harmonie nous plonge au plus profond de nous-mêmes. Moksha accompagne parfaitement une séance de yoga, un temps de méditation ou un exercice de relaxation. La musique de ce CD a été conçue spécialement pour la classe de Yoga d'Anna Jefferson de Boston au Massachusetts à l'automne 2011.As its title suggests, the musical compilation, Moksha, is intended to help you attain release from the everyday. It consists of 15 original pieces from composer Alexandre Stanké, which are characteristically simple and honest. Whether ambient pulsing or gently melodic, they never claim the focus of the moment and always take a supporting role in helping you to be still and to draw your gaze inward. Perfect for the soft rise and fall of a one-hour yoga class as well as for unstructured meditation and relaxation. The music on this CD was specially written for Anna Jefferson's yoga class in Boston, Massachusetts in the fall of 2011.Maya - IllusionAvidya - IgnoranceDarsana - Vision, especially of the divineAnahata - The heart center, 'unstuck'Svarupa - One's own true naturePrana - Vital life energyMoksha - LiberationDharana - Single-pointed focusPranavayu - Vital energy moving as windsBhakti - DevotionMantra - A sacred thought or prayerKriya - Cleansing practiceMetta - Loving-kindnessDhyana - Meditation, the quieting of the mindPrashanta - Tranquility
