  • Constantine's Sword HV PK
    James Carroll’s CONSTANTINE’S SWORD A film by Oren Jacoby 96 minutes, color & b/w, 2007 FIRST RUN FEATURES The Film Center Building 630 Ninth Ave. #1213 New York, NY 10036 (212) 243-0600 / Fax (212) 989-7649 www.firstrunfeatures.com www.constantinessword.com SYNOPSIS CONSTANTINE'S SWORD is the latest film by Oscar-nominated director Oren Jacoby (Sister Rose's Passion) and is based on the best-selling book by James Carroll, a National Book Award winner and columnist for the Boston Globe. Carroll is a practicing Catholic whose search for the truth leads him to confront persecution and violence in the name of God – today and in the Church’s past. He discovers a terrible legacy that reverberates across the centuries: from the Emperor Constantine’s vision of the cross as a sword and symbol of power, to the rise of genocidal anti-Semitism, to modern day wars sparked by religious extremism. At its heart, CONSTANTINE’S SWORD is a detective story, as Carroll journeys into his own past (his father was a U.S. Air Force General who helped prepare for nuclear war) and into the wider world, where he uncovers evidence of church-sanctioned violence against non-Christians. At the Air Force Academy, he and Jacoby expose how some evangelicals are proselytizing inside our country's armed forces and reveal the dangerous consequences of religious influence on American foreign policy. Warning of what happens when military power and religious fervor are joined, this timely film asks the question: is the fanaticism that threatens the world today fueled by our own deeply held beliefs? DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT We’re living in a world at war.

  • Rihanna – Eine Musikikone Masterprüfung Musik
    Rihanna – eine Musikikone Masterprüfung Musik 25.11.2016 Pädagogische Hochschule Luzern Ramona Bürki & Michaela Koch Abstract Kaum jemand dominiert die Charts mit eigenen Hits gegenwärtig so stark wie Rihanna. Kaum jemand zählt so viele Nummer-1-Hits in Folge wie sie. Nicht nur mit ihrer Musik, sondern auch mit ihrem Stil und ihrem wandelbaren Wesen setzt sie immer wieder neue Trends in der Musik- und Popszene. Auch für viele Jugendlichen ist sie Vorbild und Stilikone. Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich deswegen mit dem Phänomen ‚Rihanna‘. In einem ersten Teil werden Rihannas Werdegang bzw. ihre Biografie sowie ihre Musik (Musikstil, Gesang, musikalische Einflüsse) und ihre musikalischen Erfolge aufgezeigt. Ebenfalls werden musikspezifische und fächerübergreifende Unterrichtsideen generiert. In einem zweiten Teil widmet sich die Arbeit konkreten ausgearbeiteten praxisbezogenen Unterrichtsideen. Eine Bewegungsanleitung zum Song ‚The Monster‘, ein Arrangement zu ‚Don’t Stop the Music‘ mit dazugehörigen Spielhilfen sowie zwei Leadsheets zu den Songs ‚Stay‘ und ‚Unfaithful‘ wurden stufengerecht angepasst, sodass sie sich im Musikunterricht der Sekundarstufe I umsetzen liessen. Am Ende der Arbeit befindet sich eine Sammlung verschiedener Unterrichtsmaterialien zu den Themenfeldern ‚Biografie‘, ‚Gewalt‘, ‚Karibische Musikeinflüsse‘ und ‚Rihannas Musikrichtungen‘, die verschiedene Formen der Auseinandersetzung mit der Künstlerin ermöglichen.

But the apology did not come from Jack- son Memorial Hospital in Florida, where Pond lay dying from a brain aneurysm suffered Feb. 18, 2007, hours after the family boarded the R Family Cruise. Instead, President Barack Obama said those words to Langbehn in a phone call April 15, 2010, when he phoned her in Olym- pia, Wash., from Air Force One, ironically while it circled over Miami, where Jackson Memorial is Chicago located. Obama called Langbehn to explain a memo he Red Stars page 22 had signed that day to address discrimination LGBT families face from healthcare facilities.

  • The Salt-Cellars
    2 THE SALT-CELLARS BEING A COLLECTION OF PROVERBS TOGETHER WITH HOMELY NOTES THEREON. BY C. H. SPURGEON. THESE THREE THINGS GO TO THE MAKING OF A PROVERB: SHORTNESS, SENSE, AND SALT. VOLUME 1. — A TO L. 3 PREFACE. FOR many years I have published a Sheet Almanac, intended to be hung up in workshops and kitchens. This has been known as “John Ploughman’s Almanac,” and has had a large sale. It has promoted temperance, thrift, kindness to animals, and a regard for religion, among working people. The placing of a proverb for every day for twenty years has cost me great labor, and I fool that I cannot afford to lose the large collection of sentences which I have thus brought together: yet lost they would be, if left to die with the ephemeral sheet. Hence these two volumes. They do not profess to be a complete collection of proverbs, but only a few out of many thousands. The salt of proverbs is of great service if discreetly used in sermons and addresses; and I have hope that these SALT-CELLARS of mine may be resorted to by teachers and speakers, and that they may find them helpful. There are many proverb books, but none exactly like these. I have not followed any one of the other collections, although, of necessity, the most of the quaint sayings are the same as will be found in them. Some of my sentences are quite new, and more are put into a fresh form. The careful omission of all that are questionable as to purity has been my aim; but should any one of them, unknown to me, have another meaning than I have seen in it, I cannot help it, and must trust the reader to accept the best and purest sense which it bears; for that is what it meant to me.
