LIV FEBRUARY 1950 No. 236 ���������������������������������� HENRY JESSEY learning and charity joined to a fervently religious spirit are Fqualities which merit both admiration and some degree of fame for their possessor, then Henry Jessey deserves a place among the honouredI members of his College. Palmer, in his Non-Conformist's Memorial, writes of him thus : "That man of God, Mr Jessey, an anti-paedobaptist of long standing ; as holy I conceive as any, of good learning,and a very tender conscience ; of an healing and uniting spirit-I wish there were more such anti-paedobaptists as he." The details of Jessey's early life and parentage are not of any great interest, except for the fact that he was entered at 8t John's College as a Constable 8cholar* on 6 November 1622, when he signed himself Henricus J acie Eboracensis. He had matriculated in the Easter Term of 1619, and followed a course of logic and philo­ sophy. In 1622 he resolved to enter the ministry and was episcopally ordained in 1627. Of his theological training at 8t John's we can learn something from the remarks of Palmer that he became well versed in the Hebrew tongue and the writings of the Rabbis. He also understood 8yriac and Chaldee. While he was at the University he had the misfortune to lose his father, and the result to J essey was a drastic drop in his income ; he had but threepence a day at this time, but managed not only to live upon that sum but also to hire books for his studies. 1949 L.M.B.C. THAMES CHALLENGE CUP BOAT AT HENLEY, * The Constable Scholarship held by Jessey was one of four left by the will of Sir Marmaduke Constable. This benefactor left provision for one Fellow and four poor Scholars. The advantage of the bequest was, first, for any members of his own family; secondly for natives of York County or Diocese; thirdly, for " such as be most a le and apt in the University of e b Cambridge after th discretion of the Master and Fellows". Jessey qualified the second category. in ELIV 2 THE EAGLE HENRY JE SSEY 3 The germs of dissent were stirring in his conscience while he was the formation of an Independent Puritan yet at the University, a fact illustrated in the last few pages of his esolved upon congregation To this end a number of conferences Exceeding Riches of Grace Advanced: �n London. were held, and was sworn finally a Covenant among the adherents, and a church Also a young gentleman, being a scholar, of whose deep despairing formed.

Often integrates imagery and thick description to this end. a rhetorical mode involving the construction and relation of stories. narration Typically integrates description as a technique. a rhetorical gesture by which an author looks back, through the diegetic gap, to demonstrate knowledge or understanding gained from the subject on which they are reflecting. May also include consideration of reflection the impact of that past subject on the author’s future—“Looking back in order to look forward.” the circumstances in which rhetoric is produced, understood using the constituent elements of subject, occasion, audience, and purpose. Each element of the rhetorical situation carries assumptions and imperatives rhetorical situation about the kind of rhetoric that will be well received. Rhetorical situation will also influence mode and medium. Storytelling is one of few rituals that permeates all cultures. Indeed, there’s nothing quite as satisfying as a well-told story. But what exactly makes for a well-told story? Of course, the answer to that question depends on your rhetorical situation: your audience, your sociohistorical position, and your purpose will determine how you tell your story.

  • In 193X, Constance Rourke's Book American Humor Was Reviewed In
    OUR LIVELY ARTS: AMERICAN CULTURE AS THEATRICAL CULTURE, 1922-1931 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jennifer Schlueter, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2007 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Thomas Postlewait, Adviser Professor Lesley Ferris Adviser Associate Professor Alan Woods Graduate Program in Theatre Copyright by Jennifer Schlueter c. 2007 ABSTRACT In the first decades of the twentieth century, critics like H.L. Mencken and Van Wyck Brooks vociferously expounded a deep and profound disenchantment with American art and culture. At a time when American popular entertainments were expanding exponentially, and at a time when European high modernism was in full flower, American culture appeared to these critics to be at best a quagmire of philistinism and at worst an oxymoron. Today there is still general agreement that American arts “came of age” or “arrived” in the 1920s, thanks in part to this flogging criticism, but also because of the powerful influence of European modernism. Yet, this assessment was not, at the time, unanimous, and its conclusions should not, I argue, be taken as foregone. In this dissertation, I present crucial case studies of Constance Rourke (1885-1941) and Gilbert Seldes (1893-1970), two astute but understudied cultural critics who saw the same popular culture denigrated by Brooks or Mencken as vibrant evidence of exactly the modern American culture they were seeking. In their writings of the 1920s and 1930s, Rourke and Seldes argued that our “lively arts” (Seldes’ formulation) of performance—vaudeville, minstrelsy, burlesque, jazz, radio, and film—contained both the roots of our own unique culture as well as the seeds of a burgeoning modernism.

  • The Hitman's Bodyguard
    THE HITMAN’S BODYGUARD ABOUT THE PRODUCTION “I have a job for you …” -- Agent Amelia Roussel Nearly everybody the notoriously lethal hitman Darius Kincaid (Samuel L. Jackson) has ever met across the globe want him dead – but that’s only if Michael Bryce (Ryan Reynolds), the vigilant bodyguard recruited to protect him at all costs, doesn’t shoot him out of sheer infuriation first. The hair-triggering rivalry and potential joining of forces between a high-flying, Triple-A rated hired gun and a protection specialist results in an outrageous, fast-paced action comedy that twists and twines the hitman thriller, the bodyguard romance and the odd-couple buddy comedy into one irreverently fun ride. Featuring a hilarious “bromance” between blockbuster stars Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson, creatively choreographed fight scenes and exhilarating high-speed chases THE HITMAN’S BODYGUARD offers a non-stop mashup of laughs and outrageous action. The wild chase begins when Interpol strikes a risky deal with a newly captured Kincaid: if he agrees to be a star witness against the bloodthirsty Belarusian tyrant Vladislav Dukhovich (Gary Oldman) in the International Criminal Court, they’ll free Kincaid’s cherished, and not-to-be-trifled with, wife Sonia (Salma Hayek) from jail. There’s just one problem: Interpol has only 24 hours to transport Kincaid from the North of England to The Hague – knowing full well that cutthroats and assassins will be lying in wait to hit the hitman the entire way to Holland. Things go wrong right off the bat, as Interpol Agent Amelia Roussel (Elodie Yung) leads the prison convoy transporting Kincaid into an ambush.

Collectors, both young and old, would often spend whole days and sometimes longer trips in a wide variety of different habitats, from sea shores to moorlands, wetlands to craggy mountainsides, searching for birds’ nests and the bounty to be found within them. Once collectors had found and taken eggs, they emptied out the contents; hence, they were really egg shell collectors. Some egg collectors claimed that egg-collecting was not just a hobby but a science, going by the name of oology, and seeking to establish oology as a recognised sub- discipline of ornithology, these collectors or oologists established formal institutions such as associations and societies, attended meetings where they exhibited unusual finds, and also contributed to specialist publications dedicated to oology.
