It's composed in a rare register: mourning and fury counterpoised by humor and a refusal of despair.

Conflicts of interest are objective situations that arise when a person's financial interests can be counterpoised to their public responsibilities.

Mourad's dynamic method — which does not allow revisions or erasures — imbues each work with counterpoised turbulence and stagnation, movement and stasis.

Against these various parties was counterpoised the more agrarian Democratic Party, which preferred cheap imports and felt that promoting industrialization by taxing the country's rural majority was backward and regressive.

Along with sensational music, it featured moving re-enactments of recent police killings of black Americans, scenes counterpoised with members' own stories of triumph and resilience: alcoholism and deprivation overcome, degrees earned, businesses started.

Liberal reformers of the early twentieth century usually counterpoised big business and small business; Ida Tarbell crusaded against Standard Oil on behalf of local oil producers, such as her father had been before Standard drove him out of business.

Sanders's core proposition, separate from the details of the political revolution, is that for progressives to win they need to first organize and dominate an ideologically left-wing political party that is counterpoised to the ideological right-wing Republican Party.

Indeed, the only extensive archive of a hardcore filmmaker that I know of is the Candida Royalle Papers, still being processed at Harvard's Schlesinger Library—where the pioneering feminist pornographer's records join those of her opponents Andrea Dworkin and Women Against Pornography, the 1980s feminist sex wars preserved in archival amber, forever counterpoised.

In drama, the character tempts the protagonist into foolish action, successfully or not. In an allegorical painting, the figure may be counterpoised to Prudence, representing a choice, or alone, representing the unwisdom of the actors in the painting.

Giorgione portrayed the main scene on the right, in front of a dark grotto, while on the left is bright landscape crowned by trees. A sincere dramatic tension is obtained by the choice to place the kneeling shepherd pilgrims in the centre of the painting. The entire group of parents, child, and pilgrim form an anchored rectangle that forms a counterpoised focal point to the receding landscape on the left.

His increasing adeptness at this method is apparent in the paintings completed for the Chapel. With an absence of figurative representation, what drama there is to be found in a late Rothko is in the contrast of colors, radiating against one another. His paintings can then be likened to a sort of fugue-like arrangement: each variation counterpoised against one another, yet all existing within one architectonic structure. Rothko used several original techniques that he tried to keep secret even from his assistants.

Flaubert strove for an accurate depiction of common life. The account of a county fair in Yonville displays this and dramatizes it by showing the fair in real time counterpoised with a simultaneous intimate interaction behind a window overlooking the fair. Flaubert knew the regional setting, the place of his birth and youth, in and around the city of Rouen in Normandy. His faithfulness to the mundane elements of country life has garnered the book its reputation as the beginning of the movement known as literary realism.

After graduating from Elam, Szirmay won the Smirnoff Sculpture Award (1969) for a monumental outdoor piece rendered in curved, polished aluminium in the busy centre of Newmarket, Auckland. This work was fabricated to her instructions by Roskill Sheet Metal Works. This work represented a radical move for public art in Auckland, and it was the first large abstract work to be commissioned for the city. It is located beside Lumsden Green, close to the Khyber Pass – Broadway intersection at Newmarket, counterpoised with Virginia King's Sliver across the pedestrian crossing.

He has worked with international agencies and has been an advisor to President Evo Morales, a fellow Aymara, since before Morales's election to the Presidency. He was considered one of the most important ministers of Morales at the time. He and Luis Arce, Minister of Economy and Finance, were the only people to serve in their cabinet posts for over a decade during Evo Morales' presidency. Observers have described Choquehuanca as the leader of a pachamamista or indigenista faction within the cabinet, counterpoised to the pragmatic developmentalism of Arce and Vice President Álvaro García Linera.

But she also conveyed the complexity of the young Mrs > Hackett's character through her soft, feminine, pale-blue dress > counterpoised by the dramatic black hat and direct gaze. Fuller painted other works for the Hacketts. In a 1937 piece reflecting on early twentieth-century art in Western Australia, a reviewer recalled: > Dr. (later Sir Winthrop) Hackett was a great patron of Miss Fuller, and he > was a constant visitor to her dignified studio, above his office in the old > West Australian Chambers. The first portrait I saw Miss Fuller working on > was of Mrs.

He argued that "[i]n no small measure, the present terrible, bewildering world crisis is a consequence of Marxism's mechanical Communism and amoral nihilism. New formulas of spirit, freedom and solidarity have to be found". Jászi promoted a form of co-operative socialism that included liberal principles of freedom, voluntarism and decentralization. He counterpoised this ideal version of socialism with the then-existing political system in the Soviet Union, which he identified as based upon dictatorial and militarist perils, statism and a crippled economic order where competition and quality are disregarded.

Unlike most of Koontz's work, this is a screwball comedy/horror story, in which the comedy gradually outweighs the horror. Serious themes of pagan magic and family conflicts between the ancestral Vietnamese culture and the "American Dream" are counterpoised with the crazy comedy reminiscent of the classic comedy movies of the 1930s such as "Bringing Up Baby". Critical comment is generally positive. Koontz has stated in the Afterword that he wrote the novel partly as a relief from the darker aspects of his work, especially "Dark Rivers of the Heart", and partly for the challenge of writing a good screwball comedy.

The maker also had to reduce its acidity. By experimentally recreating the fabrication of this adhesive, researchers concluded that the Middle Stone Age (MSA) humans at Sibudu would have required the multilevel mental operations and abstract thought capabilities of modern people to do this. > Artisans living in the MSA must have been able to think in abstract terms > about properties of plant gums and natural iron products, even though they > lacked empirical means for gauging them. Qualities of gum, such as wet, > sticky, and viscous, were mentally abstracted, and these meanings > counterpoised against ochre properties, such as dry, loose, and dehydrating.

Nihilist Communism: A Critique of Optimism — the Religious Dogma that states there will be an Ultimate Triumph of Good over Evil — in the Far Left is a collection of anti-authoritarian, anti-political, anti-organizational communist perspectives cardinally developed by two anglophone authors using the pen names Frère and Le Garçon. Since at least 2001, according to the dates of various letters and writings in the book, they have written collaboratively as Monsieur Dupont. Nihilist Communism aims to level "a critique of optimism in the far left". Rather than attempting to establish new and popular sets of positions, it is counterpoised against, among many other things, the "religious" dogma of the Marxist and anarchist milieus.

A photograph of Van Buren by Thomas Eakins Van Buren's seated figure creates a pyramidal composition, activated by the movement of her head, arms, and torso. Her body is illuminated and given sculptural form by a strong shaft of light coming from the left. Her face is thin and serious, her graying hair pulled back, as she supports her head with her left hand, her right hand counterpoised in her lap, holding a fan. For Eakins's biographer John Wilmerding, the contrast between the arms is noteworthy: one arm is solid and "architectural...suggestive of an unspoken potential for great vitality", and "the anchor of the portrait" that belies the otherwise reflective countenance; the other hand is shadowed and limp.Wilmerding. 1993. p.

Likewise, the political philosopher Richard W. Miller, while sympathetic with Cohen's analytical approach to Marxism, rejected Cohen's technological interpretation of historical materialism, to which he counterpoised with what he called a "mode of production" interpretation which placed greater emphasis on the role of class struggle in the transition from one mode of production to another. The Greek philosopher Nicholas Vrousalis generalized Miller's critique, pointing out that Cohen's distinction between the material and social properties of society cannot be drawn as sharply as Cohen's materialism requires. Other non-Marxist critics argued that Cohen, in line with the Marxist tradition, underestimated the role played by the legal and political superstructure in shaping the character of the economic base. Finally, Cohen's anthropology was judged dubious: whether human beings adopt new and more productive technology is not a function of an ahistorical rationality, but depends on the extent to which these forms of technology are compatible with pre-existing beliefs and social practices.
