Casablanca es una película estadounidense de 1942 dirigida por Michael Curtiz. Narra un drama romántico en la ciudad marroquí de Casablanca bajo el control delgobierno de Vichy. La película, basada en la obra teatral Everybody comes to Rick’s (‘todos vienen al café de Rick’) de Murray Burnett y Joan Alison, está protagonizada por Humphrey Bogart en el papel de Rick Blaine e Ingrid Bergman como Ilsa Lund. El desarrollo de la película se centra en el conflicto de Rick entre —usando las palabras de uno de los personajes— el amor y la virtud: Rick deberá escoger entre su amada Ilsa o hacer lo correcto. Su dilema es ayudarla o no a escapar de Casablanca junto a su esposo, uno de los líderes de la resistencia, para que éste pueda continuar su lucha contra los nazis.

Es una de las películas mejor valoradas de la cinematografía estadounidense, ganadora de varios premios Óscar, incluyendo el de mejor película en1943. En su tiempo el filme tenía todo para destacar ampliamente, con actores renombrados y guionistas notables, sin embargo ninguno de los involucrados en su producción esperaba que éste pudiese ser algo fuera de lo normal. Se trataba simplemente de una de las docenas de producciones anuales de la maquinariahollywoodense.

Casablanca tuvo un sólido inicio pero no espectacular y, sin embargo, fue ganando popularidad a medida que pasó el tiempo y se fue colocando siempre entre los primeros lugares de las listas de mejores películas. La crítica ha alabado las actuaciones carismáticas de Bogart y Bergman y la química entre ellos, así como la profundidad de las caracterizaciones, la intensidad de la dirección, el ingenio del guión y el impacto emocional de la obra en su conjunto.

The understanding of the Scientific Revolution as involving a rejection of Aristotelian science leads many to ignore profound truths about nature and human nature which are found in Aristotelian and Thomistic thought, and, in particular, to ignore or denigrate the value of such thought for the contemporary dialogue between science and religion. Some scholars (e.g., Wolfhart Pannenberg and Hans Blumenberg) have gone so far as to suggest that the principle of inertia, key to the new science of Isaac Newton, is incompatible with the traditional doctrine of creation. Newtonian science, according to such a view, anticipates an understanding of nature as self-sufficient, as not needing an explanation beyond itself. The claim is that just as bodies at rest or in motion need no cause for the continuation of either state, so it became easy to attribute a kind of autonomy or self-sufficiency to all of nature and its processes: only changes had to be explained, not persisting states. By looking again at the crucial developments in the science of the 17th Century, and by challenging misinterpretations of inertia and creation, we can see that to accept the developments of modern science does not require us to abandon traditional notions of creation, nor to reject as no longer valid Aristotelian and Thomistic notions of nature and cause and of the relationship among the natural sciences, philosophy, and theology.

Pope Benedict XVI dedicated his Angelus reflections Sunday to John the Baptist. Speaking to pilgrims and visitors he said John is the voice that passes, Christ is the eternal Word from the beginning of time. Our aim today is to listen to that voice, to give space and welcome Jesus, the Word that saves us, to our hearts. In this time of Advent, let us prepare to see, with the eyes of faith, God's salvation in the humble stable in Bethlehem. In a consumerist society, where we seek joy in things, the Baptist teaches us to live in an essential way, so that Christmas is not only experienced as an outward celebration, but as the feast of the Son of God who came to bring peace, life and true joy to people.

Antonio López conversó sobre la belleza, la verdad y el arte en la segunda conferencia del Foro Universidad de Navarra (86,2 MB).

Ante más de 600 alumnos y profesionales de la Universidad, el pintor y escultor se cuestionó el concepto de belleza y la definición de arte. “Cuando comencé a pintar, pensaba que era algo fácil: que era cuestión de técnica, de aprender a dibujar, copiar unos modelos… Pero eso era sólo el principio. La pintura consiste en penetrar en los objetos, en la realidad, crear un mundo con los humildes elementos con los que cuenta el artista: un lienzo, un poco de aceite y unos pigmentos”, afirmo, “El arte consiste en materializar, a partir de tus propias emociones, algo que los demás puedan ver y entender”. Refiriéndose al arte español, Antonio López destacó que es mucho más difícil de comprender que el de otros países. “El arte italiano es muy grande, pero muy fácil.

La fascinación que produce hoy en día Leonardo, ya la producía entonces”, puso por ejemplo. “El arte español, ya desde Velazquez y Goya, está repleto de la vida, capta la esencia del mundo real. Pinta las cosas como son. Y precisamente por eso, siempre está en peligro, porque parte de algo a lo que no se le da valor: la propia vida.

Es siempre inadecuado, inesperado… y no se entiende. Por eso le cuesta encontrar su espacio”. “El arte del siglo XX es un ejemplo de veracidad y valor. El artista sincero se enfrenta muchas veces al rechazo del comercio del arte, pero también a su propio rechazo como ciudadano. Su trabajo es un acto de valentía y generosidad”, concluyó.

La conferencia estuvo organizada por Actividades Culturales, la Escuela de Arquitectura, la Facultad de Comunicación y FORUN.

I am well aware that "What Teachers Make," a poem I wrote in 1999, has been elevated/reduced to the level of Inspirational Cyber Spam. It started happening shortly after I posted an unattributed draft of the poem on this very website. Since the poem appeared on my website, I figured my name was unnecessary. But I was wrong. I suspect the text of the poem got copied, pasted, and sent by well meaning teachers and fans. Soon enough, the poem became anonymous, and people began to edit, alter, and "sanitize" it. There are, to my knowledge, at least five different versions of the poem out there circulating. All of them are anonymous.

The poem has taken on a life of its own. Thomas Friedman, the New York Times columnist, quoted one of the anonymous versions in its entirety as part of his Yale graduation speech in 2003. This led to quotation by Harvey Mackay, the syndicated business columnist. National Public Radio did a story about the adventures of the poem in 2004. Am I disappointed not to have received credit for writing this poem that has inspired so many? Used to be. But the truth will always come out in the end. And if I had to choose between inspiring teachers anonymously or not inspiring them at all, I would choose anonymous inspiration every time.

El profesor del IESE Pablo Cardona, analiza en esta entrevista las dimensiones del conflicto. Según cuenta el profesor, el conflicto se divide en la dimensión "racional", que tiene que ver con la falta de alineamiento en las ideas, y la dimensión "emocional", que abarca ya no las ideas sino la confianza entre las partes. En la mayoría de ocasiones, estas dimensiones van unidas y en su opinión esto complica el proceso de resolución de un conflicto. El profesor de Dirección de Personas en las Organizaciones considera que el conflicto ayuda a "avanzar, a replantearse, a buscar soluciones más creativas", sobre todo cuando se trata de un conflicto más racional. Cuando la dimensión afectada es la emocional, una buena solución del conflicto puede ayudar a aprender a perdonar, a conocer las limitaciones mutuas e incluso a "entendernos mejor y querernos más".

En declaraciones al programa "El Espejo" de la Cadena COPE el escultor de la Sagrada Familia, Etsuro Sotoo explica que la obra de la Sagrada Familia "está en manos de Dios" porque "esta casa es la casa de Dios y este dueño curiosamente no tiene prisa y lo único que pide es que seamos felices”. "Cuando esté perfecta, entonces este dueño estará contento y se terminará la obra", garantiza. Sobre las palabras del Papa en las que reconoce la labor de todos los que han participado en la construcción de la Sagrada familia, este escultor japonés, gran admirador de Gaudí, señala que"cuando el sacrificio da sus frutos ya no es sacrificio y se convierte en alegría”. Según señala, "casi 10.000 personas pasan diariamente por el templo y todo el mundo quiere conocer quien era Gaudí y qué pensamiento tenía Gaudí". "Yo invito a todos los turistas e investigadores que miren hacia donde miraba Gaudí, no a quien era Gaudí”. De esta forma, prosigue, "así la gente sentirá que Gaudí entra en sus corazones". Así, explica que “donde miraba era al mundo de la fe” y este sentimiento es precisamente el que quería trasladar el autor. “Gaudí no quiere que la gente mire a Gaudí sino hacia donde miraba Gaudí”, ha reiterado. Etsuro Sotoo cuenta que el genio que diseñó el templo "casi, casi tenía corazón de japonés" y buscaba la armonía. "Quería convertir a todos sus amigos en íntimos amigos y esta es la mayor inteligencia que hay", afirma. El escultor de la Sagrada Familia se muestra muy satisfecho con su obra porque "día a día entrar a la Sagrada Familia es una obra magnífica". "La escultura no es sólo piedra es día a día, sacrificio e ilusión". "Entrar cada día a la Sagrada Familia es una ilusión para mi", concluye.

"There Be Dragons" is about both kinds of civil war. Essentially we've all got to choose whether to hang on to our resentments or find a way of conquering them. Life can be seen as a series of injustices, of rejections and hurts, or as full of opportunities, of chances to conquer those dragons through the overwhelming desire to replace hatred with love and connection. Many people have it in them to make that heroic choice. They realize that they can make a choice to be free. They have the strength of character to understand that hate is a prison.

Russell Wilcox, a researcher from England, who divides his time between Oxford and London, and whose principal interests concern Natural Law, philosophical anthropology and inter-cultural diversity, delivered a paper entitled “Nature, Language, and the Human Science ” to students and professors of the University of Navarre. The lecture addressed the relation between the knowledge of human nature and the normative ordering of human communities from an Aristotelian/Thomistic perspective.

Wilcox dealt with the subject of Natural Law and human action from a largely Thomistic perspective, whilst at the same time drawing insights from such thinkers as American linguist, Noam Chomsky and German philosopher, Jurgen Habermas.

The audience was mainly composed of students and professors from the fields of Philosophy and Law. After the lecture, which was delivered in English, an engaging and constructive dialogue took place with the audience on subjects raised by the paper. This event, organized by the Cryf Research Group, received financial support from the John Templeton Foundation.

Guerrieri espertissimi, armi insolite, armature esotiche mai viste sui campi di battaglia. Individui socialmente degradati ma idoli delle folle, richiesti nei salotti, acclamati dall’aristocrazia, amati dalle ragazze di buona famiglia, celebrati nei versi e nelle epigrafi, talvolta molto ricchi. Duellanti dall’aspetto selvaggio ma con un preciso codice d’onore. Il fascino dei gladiatori viene dalla loro ambiguità. Gli anfiteatri, carichi di adrenalina e inquietudine, ospitano storie da “kolossal�: il tifo da stadio, i corpi seminudi tesi nella lotta, l’attesa del colpo di grazia, il responso dell’imperatore e del pubblico, trionfo o morte, e poi bestie feroci – leoni, tigri, leopardi, orsi, elefanti, rinoceronti – portate a Roma da molto lontano solo per metterne in scena la morte. Contemplare questa brutalità ci inquieta, ma il nostro sguardo continua a soffermarsi sull’arena e i suoi giochi, calamitato da una fascinazione morbosa. Cosa incatena la nostra fantasia alle arcate del Colosseo e fa dei suoi falsi guerrieri un simbolo che travalica i secoli?

C. S. Lewis was a radio personality first for most of his countrymen, presenting short talks on the BBC during the Second World War. Very few of those broadcasts were preserved.

The BBC has made available the only surviving audio recording of the radio talks that C.S. Lewis later adapted to become Mere Christianity. It is of material that contributed to the third section of the book: "Beyond Personality." The original broadcast was on March 21, 1944.

The idea of "time off" is free time during the week that some companies begin to foster among the employees. The employees can dedicate this time off for activities that are fundamental in one's personal life: family, taking care of the sick, personal formation, etc. In the cases where time off was applied, it was observed that the efficiency and productivity of the employee has improved, and not diminished.

The idea of time off helps one see professional life as multi-dimensional and personally enriching, and not simply a one-way fast lane.

The astronaut stepped onto the Moon's surface, in the Sea of Tranquility, at 0256 GMT, nearly 20 minutes after first opening the hatch on the Eagle landing craft. Armstrong had earlier reported the lunar module's safe landing at 2017 GMT with the words: "Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed." As he put his left foot down first Armstrong declared: "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." He described the surface as being like powdered charcoal and the landing craft left a crater about a foot deep.

È la mattina di Natale dell’anno 800: Carlo Magno avanza in San Pietro e china la testa davanti al pontefice Leone III per ricevere dalle sue mani la corona imperiale. È un evento senza precedenti: è l’atto di nascita di uno spazio geopolitico occidentale che al di là delle vicissitudini della corona imperiale continua ancora oggi a costituire l’orizzonte predominante della storia europea.

Se otorgan cada año a personas que hayan hecho investigaciones sobresalientes, inventado técnicas o equipamiento revolucionario o hayan hecho contribuciones notables a la sociedad.

Se sentía culpable por su responsabilidad como empresario enriquecido a través de una industria productora de dinamita cuyo principal mercado era la minería, pero también la guerra.

Con una proposta, che è soprattutto di ordine politico e morale, per fronteggiare con successo la crisi.

Homero, nombre tradicionalmente asignado al famoso autor de la Iliada y la Odisea, las dos grandes epopeyas de la antigüedad griega. Nada se sabe de su persona, y de hecho algunos ponen en duda que sean de él estas dos obras. Sin embargo, los datos lingüísticos e históricos de que se dispone, permiten suponer que los poemas fueron escritos en los asentamientos griegos de la costa oeste de Asia Menor, hacia el siglo IX a.C.
