    Annual Report 2011-2012

    Mater Matters FALL 2012 ANNUAL REPORT 2011-2012 OPENING COMMENTS From the Principal During a recent trip to my ancestral home, Ireland, I visited St. Patrick’s Church in Glenbrohane where my great grandparents were married. This simple country church overlooks a sweeping vista of rolling hills, dotted with sheep and cows belonging to the local farmers. My cousin, Mike Tobin, whispered to me during Mass, “That chalice was the one used at your great grandmother’s wedding. The church has only one, and I am sure that was the one used.” I was distracted during Mass thinking about where John Buckley stood as he watched Ellen Tobin walk down the aisle. How did they meet? What walks did they walk? What dreams did they have for the future? Did they envision what their own life would become — immigrating to America, their future home in Philadelphia? Probably not. What John and Ellen saw was a loom inviting them to weave the fabric of their lives together into a tapestry they would never see completed. And that is the story for all of our ancestors — they weave, they make their contribution, and then they turn it over to successive generations. Catherine McAuley had the same experience. She never intended to start a religious congregation. She was advised, however, that if she wanted her work to have longevity, she needed to turn her House of Mercy into a convent. Although she opened many convents with schools and safe houses, she did not live long enough to see the tapestry of Mercy life in the United States.
  • Building a Better Breakfast

    Building a Better Breakfast

    Building a Better Breakfast Most people have the best of intentions for breakfast. Ideally, weekday mornings would start with a handcrafted cold brew, good-for-you grain bowls, farm fresh eggs and an abundance of avocado. The kind of morning eats that will leave you well-nourished, perked up and ready to take on the day. Often life gets in the way of a healthy start, especially when you’re on the road. Yet instead of succumbing to carb-heavy or humdrum options, Re:fuel Pots from Aloft hotels puts a fresh—and flavorful—spin on instant-breakfast options. Redefining Breakfast on the Road For decades, heavy breakfasts such as doughnuts and bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches, dominated the on-the-go menu, with nary a vegetable or whole grain in sight. Toni Stoeckl, global brand leader and vice president of Distinctive Select Brands Marriott International, is ready to change that. He sees Aloft Hotels’ Re:fuel Pots as a way for guests to have an authentic café experience without having to leave the hotel. When developing the Pots, a global network of chefs came together to brainstorm ideas from more than 75 combinations, coming up with on-trend ideas and locally sourced eats. “We wanted to build something fast and efficient without sacrificing quality of ingredients,” Stoeckl says. By incorporating the most appealing elements of modern morning favorites like savory hashes, and classics like French toast and huevos rancheros, Re:fuel Pots are a fresh take on breakfast, neatly tucked into a well-designed package. Unlike a traditional dining room set up, these innovative Pots are ordered at sleek lobby kiosks and deliver a custom-built breakfast in a matter of minutes.

Gendering Trauma and Healing in a Post­ Conflict Environment: Las Dignas, Mental Health, and the Empowerment of Salvadoran Women A dissertation presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Massey University, Turitea Campus, Palmerston N01th, New Zealand Helen Margaret Leslie 1999 11 Abstract There is no doubt that the experience of war, be it war between nation states or civil war, varies considerably for both male and females. The twelve year civil war in El Salvador was no exception. Salvadoran women who worked in various sectors as combatants, urban collaborators, home-makers, nurses, cooks or radio operators for the guerrilla fo rces, experienced the war and now experience so-called peace, in ways that relate directly to the construction of the fe male sex in Salvadoran society. As a result of these gendered experiences many Salvadoran women are suffering trauma despite the cessation of the war in 1992. This trauma acts to disempower these women and to prevent them from actively participating in the important processes of post-conflict reconstruction currently taking place in Salvadoran society This thesis aims to analyse the approach taken by one Salvadoran organisation fo r fe minist political action, Las Dignas, in healing the trauma of Salvadoran women. Reviewing relevant literature on gender and development theory and gender and conflict theory, and drawing on fe minist methods in the fieldwork context, it will show how the healing process employed by Las Dignas is empowering Salvadoran women at both personal and socio-political levels.
  • Meals for Easy Swallowing

    Meals for Easy Swallowing

    1 INTRODUCTION Swallowing can become a significant problem for patients with ALS; and the joys and pleasures of eating become replaced with discomfort and anxiety. At an early stage patients may begin to have difficulty with foods such as popcorn, cornbread or nuts, and choking episodes may occur. Subsequently other foods cannot be swallowed readily, and the effort of chewing and swallowing turns a pleasurable experience into a burden. For the patient, the act of swallowing becomes compromised and the ordeal of eating becomes more time consuming. For the spouse, the task of preparing edible and appetizing foods poses an increasing challenge. The following collection of recipes is derived from our patients and their creative spouses who translated their caring into foods that look good, taste good, are easy to chew and to swallow, and minimize discomfort. Included are recipes for meats and other protein containing foods, fruits or fruit drinks, vegetables or dishes containing vegetables, as well as breads. Selections of beverages, desserts, and sauces are provided to add needed fat and calories to the diet. A balanced diet normally supplies enough nutrients for daily needs plus some extra. It is recommended that daily menu plans be made using the Basic Four Food Groups as the backbone. The suggested amounts are: Food GrouD Amount Per Dav Eauivalent to One Serving Milk 2 servings 1 cup pudding 1 cup milk or yogurt 1-3/4 cups ice cream 1-1/2 02. cheese 2 cups cottage cheese Meat 2 servings 2 02. lean meat, fish, poultry 2 eggs 4 Tbsps.

    Sports Snacks: Food Options for Hungry Athletes | Active.com Sports Snacks: Food Options for Hungry Athletes By Nancy Clark, MS RD CSSD • For Active.com "What should I eat before I exercise?" That’s a key question—as well as what to eat during extended exercise— that athletes commonly ask me. While they know the words carbs, proteins and fats, they often don't know how to translate those words into food choices. The goal of this article is to offer specific food suggestions to fit a variety of sports situations. This is far from a complete list. Please be sure to experiment with new pre- and during exercise foods to learn which ones settle best in your gut, don’t “talk back,” and enhance your performance. Pre-Event Carbo-Loading Dinner: • Pasta with tomato sauce, meatballs, green beans, French bread, low fat/skim milk, frozen yogurt with strawberries • Turkey with potato, stuffing, low fat gravy, winter squash, cranberry sauce, dinner rolls, apple crisp with reduced-fat ice cream Pre-Game Breakfast For example, 1 to 2 hours before a 9 a.m. cross-country meet or soccer game • Wheaties (or other dry cereal) with low fat milk and banana • Oatmeal with applesauce and brown sugar • Cream of Wheat with raisins • Bagel or English muffin with peanut butter • Poached eggs with two slices of toast • Yogurt and granola Liquid “Meals” If you have trouble digesting solid food • Fruit smoothie (milk, yogurt or juice blended with frozen berries, banana chunks) • Carnation Instant Breakfast • Boost • Ensure • Low fat chocolate milk • Vanilla pudding • Pureed peaches Brunch 4 hours before a 1 p.m.
