  • Chapter 8. Aesthetic, Cultural, Religious and Spiritual Ecosystem Services Derived from the Marine Environment Contributor: Alan
    Chapter 8. Aesthetic, Cultural, Religious and Spiritual Ecosystem Services Derived from the Marine Environment Contributor: Alan Simcock (Lead Member) 1. Introduction At least since the ancestors of the Australian aboriginal people crossed what are now the Timor and Arafura Seas to reach Australia about 40,000 years ago (Lourandos, 1997), the ocean has been part of the development of human society. It is not surprising that human interaction with the ocean over this long period profoundly influenced the development of culture. Within “culture” it is convenient to include the other elements – aesthetic, religious and spiritual – that are regarded as aspects of the non-physical ecosystem services that humans derive from the environment around them. This is not to decry the difference between all these aspects, but rather to define a convenient umbrella term to encompass them all. On this basis, this chapter looks at the present-day implications of the interactions between human culture and the ocean under the headings of cultural products, cultural practices and cultural influences. 2. Cultural products No clear-cut distinction exists between objects which have a utilitarian value (because they are put to a use) and objects which have a cultural value (because they are seen as beautiful or sacred or prized for some other non-utilitarian reason). The two categories can easily overlap. Furthermore, the value assigned to an object may change: something produced primarily for the use to which it can be put may become prized, either by the society that produces it or by some other society, for other reasons (Hawkes, 1955).

  • Handel's Oratorios and the Culture of Sentiment By
    Virtue Rewarded: Handel’s Oratorios and the Culture of Sentiment by Jonathan Rhodes Lee A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Davitt Moroney, Chair Professor Mary Ann Smart Professor Emeritus John H. Roberts Professor George Haggerty, UC Riverside Professor Kevis Goodman Fall 2013 Virtue Rewarded: Handel’s Oratorios and the Culture of Sentiment Copyright 2013 by Jonathan Rhodes Lee ABSTRACT Virtue Rewarded: Handel’s Oratorios and the Culture of Sentiment by Jonathan Rhodes Lee Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Berkeley Professor Davitt Moroney, Chair Throughout the 1740s and early 1750s, Handel produced a dozen dramatic oratorios. These works and the people involved in their creation were part of a widespread culture of sentiment. This term encompasses the philosophers who praised an innate “moral sense,” the novelists who aimed to train morality by reducing audiences to tears, and the playwrights who sought (as Colley Cibber put it) to promote “the Interest and Honour of Virtue.” The oratorio, with its English libretti, moralizing lessons, and music that exerted profound effects on the sensibility of the British public, was the ideal vehicle for writers of sentimental persuasions. My dissertation explores how the pervasive sentimentalism in England, reaching first maturity right when Handel committed himself to the oratorio, influenced his last masterpieces as much as it did other artistic products of the mid- eighteenth century. When searching for relationships between music and sentimentalism, historians have logically started with literary influences, from direct transferences, such as operatic settings of Samuel Richardson’s Pamela, to indirect ones, such as the model that the Pamela character served for the Ninas, Cecchinas, and other garden girls of late eighteenth-century opera.

    We Remember Beau Perception by Beau DeZonia We Remember Beau In the rising sun and in its going down, A moth flutters before my face We remember Beau In the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter, With beauty discreet We remember Beau Some see less than a butterfly In the opening of buds and in the rebirth of spring, We remember Beau Whose beauty is admired In the blueness of the sky and in the warmth of summer, We remember Beau But touch either’s wings In the beginning of the year and when it ends, We remember Beau And both perish When we are weary and in need of strength, We choose to see We remember Beau When we are lost and sick at heart, What we want We remember Beau When we have joys we yearn to share, Even if both are the same We remember Beau So long as we live, Beau too shall live, In the end. For Beau is now a part of us, As we remember him. 5. 2. Stop All The Clocks Forever Young by W. H. Auden Rod Stewart Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, May the good Lord be with you down every road you roam. And may sunshine and happiness surround you Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone, when you're far from home. Silence the pianos and with muffled drum And my you grow to be proud, dignified and true. Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come. And do unto others as you'd have done to you.

LEARNING OUTC OMES This unit has 6 learning outcomes. The learner will: 1 Know the application process for a burial at sea. 2 Understand the licensing requirements and documentation applicable to the UK coastline. 3 Understand the requirements of the public register. 4 Understand the conditions applicable to a burial at sea. 5 Understand the procedures to be followed for a burial at sea. 6 Understand the requirements for the scattering of cremated remains at sea. Note: Students in England and Wales, and Northern Ireland should refer to the additional resource accessible for this module produced by the Marine Management Organisation via the following weblink:- www.marinemanagement.org.uk/licensing/documents/guidance/06.pdf Students in Scotland – please refer to Page 10 onwards National Association of Funeral Directors © September 2013 Dip FD Issue 1 Module 4 Unit 11 Page 1 Introduction In Nelson’s navy, burial at sea was a necessity. In modern Britain, it is perhaps more of an emotional impulse. But whatever the motive, burial at sea carries on, just as it has done for hundreds of years. Since 2001, 140 people have been laid to rest in the seas off the British coast, many of them former sailors from the Royal Navy or the Merchant Marine, although the numbers appear to be diminishing. In 2002 there were 21 sea burials: last year there were only four, perhaps because the old servicemen who served in Second World War convoys, or have similar powerful attachments to the waves, have mostly passed on.

  • WOLF 359 "BRAVE NEW WORLD" by Gabriel Urbina Story By: Sarah Shachat & Gabriel Urbina
    WOLF 359 "BRAVE NEW WORLD" by Gabriel Urbina Story by: Sarah Shachat & Gabriel Urbina Writer's Note: This episode takes place starting on Day 1220 of the Hephaestus Mission. FADE IN: On HERA. Speaking directly to us. HERA So here's a story. Once upon a time, there lived a broken little girl. She was born with clouded eyes, and a weak heart, not destined to beat through an entire lifetime. But instead of being wretched or afraid, the little girl decided to be clever. She got very, very good at fixing things. First she fixed toys, and clocks, and old machines that no one thought would ever run again. Then, she fixed bigger things. She fixed the cold and drafty orphanage where she grew up; when she went to school, she fixed equations to make them more useful; everything around her, she made better... and sharper... and stronger. She had no friends, of course, except for the ones she made. The little girl had a talent for making dolls - beautiful, wonderful mechanical dolls - and she thought they were better friends than anyone in the world. They could be whatever she wanted them to be - and as real as she wanted them to be - and they never left her behind... and they never talked back... and they were never afraid of her. Except when she wanted them to be. But if there was one thing the girl never felt like she could fix, it was herself. Until... one day a strange thing happened. The broken girl met an old man - older than anyone she had ever met, but still tricky and clever, almost as clever as the girl.
