XCVII JUNE, 2011 NO.5 *MEMBERS OF MOSLAH BENEFIT FUND 2 Alex’ Story: Shriners Help a Young Man Help his Family in Mexico In a country like Mexico, where so much depends on the father’s or the husband’s ability to go to work each day, any kind of illness that prevents the bread-winner from going to work can be a disaster. If the illness is severe and a person unable to return to work, the entire family many become, literally, a charity case – in a country where may charitable organizations are already stretched to the limit. And so it was when Alejandro (Alex) Bernardino was 14, he quit school to help out his diabetic father with the family “business” - standing outside a grocery store and washing cars in the Mexican town of Chapala, where he lived. It was a hand-to- mouth existence and even his mother was drawn into this back-breaking, no-future enterprise. Life became even harder as Alex` father’s health deteriorated. On top of that, Alex had his own health issues. He had been born with deformed “club feet”, so standing there all day long, rubbing fenders with a rag, then walking home in soggy old shoes was painful experience.

  • The Healing Shrine of the Living Water
    The Healing Shrine of The Living Water "The Heaing Shrine of the Living Water" We have God's permission to ask for healing prayer, because: He was pierced and we were healed (Is 53:5) Even Now I know that what ever you ask of God, God will give you. (Jn 11:2) The work is a 14 foot sculpture constructed of bronze and copper. The cross leans against the church roof where it collects the rainwater that pours down a flume-like cross into a pool. This action of water gives the liturgical work its title: The Healing Shrine of Living Water The water pours from the chest of Christ out the wound of His Sacred Heart, down the face of the cross to His now extended hands whose palms become the wings of a butterfly carrying the names of all the members and priests of St. John Vianney since 1916. Through His hands, over the wedding band and dripping from His fingers, the rainwater falls onto bread with the center removed, as if by a child. The flow of water continues under a cluster of grapes to represent a stream of His blood mixing with water, splashing into a gold chalice resting on a pedestal. Surrounding the pedestal is a blue rosary containing water from Lourdes, covered with blessed water from the River Jordan. Inside the chalice, half full of wine (Blood) is the center piece of bread (Body) taken from the aforementioned bread. (This imagery recalls a basic Catholic teaching.) In the green copper pool, where the chalice sits, is a steelhead fish swimming back to the Church with the letters IXOYE.

CAROLINE COUNTY. VIRGINIA Michael Trinkley Chicora Research Contribution 9 Chicora Foundation, Inc. P.O. Box 8664 Columbia. South Carolina August 1985 Introduction During December 1983 archaeologists contracted by the National Park Service Denver Service Center continued test excavations at the Jackson Shrine site, Caroline County; Virginia. This site is situated in the Virginia Piedmont, about 10 miles southwest of Fredericksburg and represents primarily a historic farmstead of the late eighteenth through mid-nineteenth centuries. While the property was granted to Major Francis Thornton in the l670s, there is no historical evidence of structures on the Fairfield plantation prior to 1782 (Linck 1983:4). The Shrine structure is known t0/have stood since 1828, but archaeological evidence suggests that occupation may date to the mid-eighteenth century (Linck 1983:5). These archaeological data indicate that the structure and site area may be related to eighteenth century plantation activities·or possibly to a tenant farmer. Consequently, the data are useful in the study of eighteenth century English plantation and farmstead lifestyles in Virginia.

  • The Official Opening of the Terraces: Reflections of a Participant There Was No Doubt It Was Going to Be an Amazing Week

Our hearts overflow with joy, our heads are bowed in gratitude to the Blessed Beauty, as we contemplate the astonishing success of the ceremony that inaugurated the Terraces of the Shrine of the Báb. The awe-inspiring, worldwide effects are reflected in the many messages being received here from different parts of the planet where telecasts of the event via satellite were seen. It is too soon to assess the immediate impact of this unexampled global proclamation of the Faith; nor can its implications for the progress of the Cause be immediately understood. There can be no doubt, however, that so vast a proclamation will accrue towards the advancement of the process of entry by troops, on which the energy of the loved ones of Bahá'u'lláh everywhere must be even more intensively focused than before. During the course of these events, we released two messages conveying our current views of the meaning of what transpired in the Holy Land.

  • Clear Light Community News
    Clear Light Community News June 2012 Vol. 11 Dear Ones ... Members and Friends of Golden Lotus and Song of the Morning Ranch, If spiritual devotees around the world could have their wish of an ideal living environment, might they not visu- alize something like what already exists at Song of the Morning Ranch? The tranquil, natural setting, like-minded companions -- Master's very concept of a "World Brotherhood Colony" in our war-torn and competitive world is inspirational. The reality is more so. What we have is a Retreat Center, with meditations, vegetarian meals, and accommodations, where visitors of every background can share in forest serenity and natural beauty while being exposed to Master's teachings through Self-Realization Fellowship services and meditations. This is beautifully symbolized by a future temple plan passed on to us by our founder, Yogacharya Oliver. It will have a large central meditation dome, surrounded by five small chapels like the five points on a star -- each one dedicated to one of the world's major religions: Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam. Each chapel will join with the central SRF meditation dome, where through the scientific meditation techniques taught by Master, people of all religions can realize God. Besides the Retreat area, we have the single-family living area, consisting of 72 home sites. Residents of the com- munity have a unique opportunity to participate in Retreat life. Entrepreneurs will find exquisite opportunities in that we are still in the "pioneer" days of the project, described to us by Yogacharya, and begun under our second Spiritual Director, Bob Raymer.

  • Tales of a Medieval Cairene Harem: Domestic Life in Al-Biqa≠‘|'S Autobiographical Chronicle
    LI GUO UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME Tales of a Medieval Cairene Harem: Domestic Life in al-Biqa≠‘|'s Autobiographical Chronicle Among the findings of recent scholarship on medieval Arabic autobiography1 is a reaffirmation, or redefinition, of the long-held notion that the realm of "private" life was "never the central focus of pre-modern Arabic autobiographical texts."2 To address this paradoxical contradiction between the business of "self- representation" and the obvious lack of "private" material in such texts, four sets of recurring features have been identified to help in uncovering the "modes" the medieval Arabic authors used to construct their individual identities: portrayals of childhood failures, portrayals of emotion through the description of action, dream narratives as reflections of moments of authorial anxiety, and poetry as a discourse of emotion.3 Other related areas, such as domestic life, gender, and sexuality, are largely left out. The "autobiographical anxiety," after all, has perhaps more to do with the authors' motivations to pen elaborate portrayals, in various literary conventions, of themselves as guardians of religious learning and respected community members (and in some cases, to settle scores with their enemies and rivals) than self-indulgence and exhibitionist "individuating." In this regard, a good example is perhaps the universally acclaimed autobiographical travelogue, the Rih˝lah of Ibn Bat¸t¸u≠t¸ah (d. 770/1368), who married and divorced over a period of thirty years of globetrotting more than twenty women and fathered, and eventually abandoned, some seventy children. However, little, if any, information is provided © Middle East Documentation Center. The University of Chicago.

Key functions of this so-called royal harem can be identified as the residence and stage for the court of the royal women, the place for the upbringing and education of the royal children and favored non-royal children as the future ruling class, the provision of musical performance in courtly life and cult, as well as the supply and provisioning of the royal family.

  • City of Mount Vernon
    DATE: December 4, 2018 TO: Planning Commission FROM: Rebecca Lowell, Development Services SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING ADOPTION OF UPDATED & NEW DESIGN STANDARDS INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND: The City’s first Design Standards were adopted in 2005 (with Ordinance 3237) and included requirements for Planned Unit Developments (PUDs), small lot residential developments, duplexes and multi-family buildings. The 2005 standards were adopted in concert with a number of other zoning regulations allowing greater density, smaller lots, and narrower roads. In essence, the City was willing to permit much denser development so long as the new development was attractive and well planned. In 2018, City Council tasked Development Services staff with adopting design standards for the historic downtown and surrounding areas. With new standards for downtown being created, it made sense to audit and simultaneously make changes to the existing design standards. As such, the 2018 document before the Commission incorporates updates and revisions to the existing design standards and adopts new standards for the historic downtown and surrounding areas. RECOMMENDATION: Planning Commission hold the required public hearing and make a recommendation on the proposed code amendments.
