They leap into his swimming pool and splash about, and it's heartening to find Debie's camera, which leered so sweatily over teen-age flesh in "Spring Breakers," rejoicing in these used and busted bodies—even shifting into slow motion, and thus granting the men the kind of leisure that the harrying years have denied them.
Minutes after the debate, Rebecca Vilkomerson, the executive director of Jewish Voice for Peace, a growing grass-roots organization that advocates pressuring Israel with the threat of boycotts, released a statement calling Mr. Sanders's remarks "heartening" and added, "Today showed that the movement for Palestinian rights is shifting the discourse at the highest political levels."

To the Editor: Re "Two Veterans Groups Find Common Ground in Opposing Forever Wars" (news article, March 17): It is heartening that in an age of intense partisanship in Washington, two veterans groups from opposite ends of the political spectrum are working together on the noble objective of ending America's endless war in Afghanistan.
It was heartening to learn today that the patient, but determined strategy of federal and local law enforcement officials worked, with three of the anti-government trespassers at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge walking out to be arrested and the last holdout coaxed to surrender after hours of YouTube-streamed discussion with the FBI and supporters.
So, while it's heartening to see politicians and others beginning to recognize the significance and urgency of black maternal health issues, it's imperative that the solutions we look toward include long-term systemic fixes, but also shorter-term stopgap measures that can help black women whose pregnancies will have begun and ended before the next presidential election comes around.
And while the majority of men voted for Moore, it's still heartening to see women get the final say in a special election that eerily resembled the 22016 presidential race, wherein voters had to choose between a candidate with a long history of wildly inappropriate sexual conduct and a candidate who stood for gender and racial equality.
It was heartening to see Blizzard put some attention on the fifteen year-old game—especially with the news that the new 1.29 patch is the start of a renewed focus on the game—but it was also slightly confusing for people who expected to see that patch put the context of a clear roadmap for the game's future.
Wouldn't it have been heartening to hear her use that moment during the interview to talk about the women and babies she's met struggling with opioid addiction, or the children who she has met as part of her "Be Best" campaign who have been bullied at school, or the people whose homes were destroyed in the California fires?
Last week in Nigeria, I heard about the important efforts that some of the states are taking to establish better mechanisms for resolving conflicts and I saw many heartening examples of resilient communities who banded together to fight off Boko Haram, solve clashes between pastoralists and farmers and bridge divides, as with the youth and the police.
And lo, the engineers have delivered the RC F. With plenty of oomph from its 5-liter V53 engine, rear-wheel drive, all wrapped in a two-door coupe, the RC F ventures into territory defined by the Camaro SS and Mustang GT. To find 467 horsepower and 389 pound-feet of torque throbbing under the aluminum hood of a Lexus is heartening.
At a time when our relationship with the night is changing, it's heartening to know that no matter how many nukes, licensing regulations, sodium bulbs, or CCTV cameras are fired up at it, the night will always be out there, lurking, looming, waiting, for those people whose inbuilt curiosity compels them to explore it right to the most distant edges.
It has often been said that Monet painted the water lilies in near-total seclusion, so it's heartening to read about the bustle of appreciative people around him, from his staff of gardeners, to his stepdaughter, Blanche, who lived with him until the end, to his dear friend Clemenceau, who was at his bedside, holding his hand, when he died.
It's heartening to report that art-world fashion is now beginning to favor once-overlooked abstract paintings by major African-American artists, who include, besides Mr. Gilliam, Ed Clark (whose first show at Hauser & Wirth opens this week); William T. Williams (whose recent paintings are on view at the Michael Rosenfeld Gallery); and the late Alma Thomas (whose work is at Mnuchin).
When the country is protesting, you see there are many non-Muslims called out in the streets to protect the interests of fellow Muslims in the country, and that's very heartening because despite the hate that the leadership has been trying to spread in the country, there are still some sane voices who are protecting the interests of fellow Muslims.
"My take is that it is heartening that a government actor is stepping into the void left by Sessions' abdication of his enforcement responsibilities to protect the civil rights of Chicago's residents," said Christy Lopez, a visiting professor at Georgetown Law who formerly served as a deputy chief in the Special Litigation Section of the Civil Rights Division at DOJ and helped lead the CPD investigation.
Apropos of Tupac, I told Duncan about how I was planning to move to L.A. I said it casually, as if this plan were already in the works rather than a doubtful dot on an undrawn time line, and I was unexpectedly filled with a brief but heartening sense that, merely by my vocalizing that something would happen, something would actually happen—as per pop psychology.
Advertise on Hyperallergic with Nectar Ads It can be heartening to see a long list of people signing a letter against President Trump's Executive Order (EO) that would keep out non-citizen nations from seven Muslim-majority nations (Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen), even if many of these same people sat out the #J20 Art Strike for who knows what reasons.
So it is particularly heartening that President TrumpDonald John TrumpFacebook releases audit on conservative bias claims Harry Reid: 'Decriminalizing border crossings is not something that should be at the top of the list' Recessions happen when presidents overlook key problems MORE is making housing a top priority by issuing an executive order that focuses on the need to resolve regulatory challenges that are hindering the production of badly needed quality, affordable housing.
And for those of you who've been keeping up with our suddenly heartening coverage of the New York legislature's evolution on the MMA issue, unfortunately any decision the legislature and Governor Andrew Cuomo make on the legality of MMA this year won't happen until late March, when the state budget is approved, which would not be nearly enough time for the UFC to turn around and arrange an event just a month later.
Though Ariana herself has understandably remained quiet since the horrific events of the night unfolded—save for one tweet the night of the atrocity—her manager Scooter Braun spoke out last night via Twitter, with a message of defiance and strength in the face of the terror: It's a heartening message in the face of unspeakable tragedy, and this combined with the solidarity shown by the fans will hopefully offer comfort to all those who are in need of it right now.
Potty training notwithstanding, efficiency is not always a virtue where childhood development is concerned—honestly, it's hard to come up with an area where efficiency is preferable to the running-around-ineffectually thing, except I guess for vaccinations—and it's heartening that, at the lower levels of Little League, everyone is still content to let kids pick dandelions in the outfield and sit on their gloves and heedlessly circle the bases until they are either miraculously tagged out or not.
People often point out that Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by a veritable landslide, more than three million votes, which is also very heartening—except when you consider that, like the stories of "breaking the silence," this fact seems to exist in a parallel universe to our political reality, and it allows too many people to ignore massive (but well covered elsewhere) problems with Clinton's platform, the acknowledgment of which would be very instructive in the perils of rhetorical lameness, if nothing else.
Despite Kenny's and May's heartening vow that "there will be no return to borders of the past" between Northern Ireland and the Republic once the U.K. leaves the EU, neither has yet offered a single workable suggestion about how they will get this past the other 26 members of the EU, who have clearly articulated their very dim view of the possibility of member states establishing bilateral deals with the U.K. Both heads of state repetitively used the phrase "frictionless and seamless border" last Monday but this ideal is at complete odds with the U.K.'s red lines of remaining in the single market or the existing customs union.
