  • Four Sermons in Defiance of the Nazis
    Four Sermons in Defiance of the Nazis Preached During 1941 by Bischop von Galen of Münster 2 Clemens August, Count von Galen Clemens August, Count von Galen, was born on 16th March 1878 in Burg Dinklage in Oldenburg. As the eleventh of thirteen children he grew up in the safeness of a deeply religious family. He attended the secondary school of the Jesuits in Feldkirch and obtained his leaving certificate at Vechta in 1896. After studying philosophy at Fribourg (Switzerland) for a short period, he resolved to become a priest. He was a student of theology in Innsbruck and Münster and was ordained on 18th March 1904 in Münster. After his ordination he became first a minor canon of Münster Cathedral. At the same time he was commissioned to accompany his uncle, Suffragan Bishop Maximilian Gereon, Count von Galen, on his journeys to conduct confirmations. In 1906 he became chaplain of St Matthias’ Church in Berlin. This was for him the beginning of 23 years of pastoral work in the capital of the Reich. After several years as curate of St Clement’s he was appointed parish priest of St Matthias in 1919. In Berlin he lived through the difficult times of the First World War, the troubled post-war period and a great part of the Weimar Republic. Great demands were made upon him by the diaspora situation in Berlin. In 1929 Clemens August von Galen was called back into the diocese of Münster and appointed parish priest of St Lambert’s Church in Münster. After the death of Bishop Johannes Poggenburg, Clemens August von Galen was made Bishop of Münster.

  • Defiance County Health Department
    Defiance County Community Health Status Assessment 2018 Examining the Health of Defiance County FOREWORD Once again on behalf of the POWER Defiance County Coalition, I am pleased to present the 2018 Defiance County Community Health Assessment Report. This report is the fifth community health assessment conducted by various social service, business, and government organizations in Defiance County in an effort to collect data reporting the health and health behaviors of Defiance County residents. Data was collected for this assessment with the assistance of the Hospital Council of Northwest Ohio. Monitoring the health of local residents to identify community health problems is an essential public health service. This health status assessment should be used as a guide for strategic planning and decision making. It can help our communities identify new health concerns, measure the impact of current community improvement efforts, and guide the judicious use of local resources. However, this is only one planning tool. A true plan of action for community improvement will require taking a closer look at these survey results; seeking additional information from community residents, service providers, and others; identifying populations at risk for specific health conditions, and choosing effective strategies that will truly improve the health of Defiance County residents when put into action. This report would not have been possible without the help of members of the POWER Defiance County Coalition as well as the groups who contributed financially. Both are acknowledged on the following pages. It is vital that assessments such as this continue so that scarce resources are used in the most advantageous ways.

  • Fictional Images of Real Places in Philadelphia
    598 CONSTRUCTING IDENTITY Fictional Images of Real Places in Philadelphia A. GRAY READ University of Pennsylvania Fictional images ofreal places in novels and films shadow the city as a trickster, doubling its architecture in stories that make familiar places seem strange. In the opening sequence of Terry Gilliam's recent film, 12 Monkeys, the hero, Bruce Willis,rises fromunderground in the year 2027, toexplore the ruined city of Philadelphia, abandoned in late 1997, now occupied by large animals liberated from the zoo. The image is uncanny, particularly for those familiar with the city, encouraging a suspicion that perhaps Philadelphia is, after all, an occupied ruin. In an instant of recognition, the movie image becomes part of Philadelphia and the real City Hall becomes both more nostalgic and decrepit. Similarly, the real streets of New York become more threatening in the wake of a film like Martin Scorcese's Taxi driver and then more ironic and endearing in the flickering light ofWoody Allen's Manhattan. Physical experience in these cities is Fig. 1. Philadelphia's City Hall as a ruin in "12 Monkeys." dense with sensation and memories yet seized by references to maps, books, novels, television, photographs etc.' In Philadelphia, the breaking of class boundaries (always a Gilliam's image is false; Philadelphia is not abandoned, narrative opportunity) is dramatic to the point of parody. The yet the real city is seen again, through the story, as being more early twentieth century saw a distinct Philadelphia genre of or less ruined. Fiction is experimental life tangent to lived novels with a standard plot: a well-to-do heir falls in love with experience that scouts new territories for the imagination.' a vivacious working class woman and tries to bring her into Stories crystallize and extend impressions of the city into his world, often without success.

  • Philip Krachun
    THE MYTH OF THE THOUSAND WORDS: EXPLORING THE ROLE OF NARRATIVE IN LA JETÉE AND 12 MONKEYS Philip Krachun So they say that a picture is worth a thousand words, that the camera never lies. These are maxims that have followed us through childhood with little more than a casual thought in their direction. People eventually start thinking that pictures take on some kind of narrative voice all their own in the false hope that a picture is worth a thousand words, when in reality, a picture is nothing without some kind of context. Photographer Chris Marker recognized this dilemma and incorporated it into the film La Jetée, which would later form the basis for Terry Gilliam’s comment on the role of intrinsic meaning 12 Monkeys . What is a picture but a symbol? A photograph is little more than a moment arrested in time, a shot plucked from the environment by a wary photographer. It is little more than a record of light, technically speaking, but can photographs have another dimensionmeaning? In an essay entitled “On the Invention of Photographic Meaning,” Allan Sekula states that “The photograph is imagined to have a primitive core of meaning . and] is a sign, above all, of someone’s investment in the sending of a message” (87). This seems to suggest that photography is another means of discourse, which is to say that thoughts and ideas can be expressed through pictures. There is some credibility to the claim that a picture is worth a thousand words; simply acknowledging a motive in the creation of a thing implies meaning on some level; the picture definitely has something to say, even if the maxim is not taken literally.
