...same problem. One powerful instance of this may have occurred very early on. In 1968, British writer-turned-filmmaker Malcolm Muggeridge visited Teresa. Muggeridge had been an outspoken agnostic, but by the time he arrived with a film crew in Calcutta he was in full spiritual-search mode. Beyond impressing him with her work and her holiness, she wrote a letter to him in 1970 that addressed his doubts full-bore. "Your longing for God is so deep and yet He keeps Himself away from you," she wrote. "He must be forcing Himself to do so - because he loves...
...After an hour of doom and gloom, the film shifts into problem-solving mode - as it must, to keep us from feeling so much eco-anxiety that we'll want to commit eco-suicide. The solutions promoted here are very much design-oriented, showing all the ways we can plot and plan our way to a more energy-efficient, sustainable tomorrow, today. Green architecture gets star placement, and eco-design gurus like William MacDonough talk about the need to create "cradle-to-cradle" products that can be recycled, or reincarnated, over and over. It might be a conscious choice...
...been in Murakami's nature. It began with his early preference for foreign novels (to the chagrin, one presumes, of his parents, who were both teachers of Japanese literature). It continues to this day in the deliberate distance he keeps from Japan's literary community, and in his abstemious mode of living.

And, despite the glut of space, the mainland's retail sector remains in bull-market mode. Economists expect as the country's consumer culture continues to develop, demand will continue to increase. China today accounts for 5% of global consumption, but investment bank Credit Suisse predicts that number will rise to 14% by 2015, making the country the world's second largest buyer of consumer goods behind...
...brain thinks, particularly the way it contemplates the consequences of actions. Recall the last time you found yourself in a stressful situation--when you were scared, nervous or threatened. Your brain tuned out everything besides whatever it was that was frightening you--the familiar fight-or-flight mode. "The part of the prefrontal cortex that is involved in deliberative cognition is shut down by stress," says Vocci. "It's supposed to be, but it's even more inhibited in substance abusers." A less responsive prefrontal cortex sets up addicts to be more impulsive as well...
