A Is for Angels Singing Songs of Joy. (Luke 2:14) О Господи! Приймай Вітання! S Is for Salvation Leo Mol, Artist 1915-2009 Leo Mol was born in the small Ukrainian village of Polonne, a community of potters. By 11, he was working almost full-time, modelling clay for his father who made his living producing family wares to be sold at the local market. At 15, he left Ukraine for Vienna then Berlin and The Hague. By 1948, when he and his wife Margareth left for Canada, Mol had a flourishing pottery and stained-glass business and a strong desire to focus on sculpture. In Winnipeg, as early as 1952, Mol was modelling brilliant small figure studies in terra cotta and working on portraitures creating, over the years, more than one hundred portrait subjects. As his reputation grew, Mol received international recognition, ultimately carrying out commissions of world figures including Pope John Paul II, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Queen Elizabeth II and Sir Winston Churchill. His sculpture of PM John Diefenbaker graces Parliament Hill in Ottawa. Leo Mol’s career as a sculptor has been one of extraordinary success. He has also completed more than eighty major stained glass windows in churches throughout Winnipeg. A winner of countless awards and honours, it is the Leo Mol Sculpture Garden in Winnipeg that best illustrates his outstanding contribution to the sculpture tradition of Canada. In 1989 Leo Mol was appointed an officer of the Order of Canada in recognition of his artistic contributions to his adopt- ed country.

Цілий світ вернувся на виворіт, і тепер до неба один крок. Й хоча невгасно танцюють зорі і янголи в хорі, але Бог — це Дитя у яслах. Незбагненною тайна здається: Бог завжди на небі… але Небо в вертепі, а вертеп у моєму серці!

MARCH 16, 2017 Members of the Current Charter RevIew Committee: Ann Bullock DevIn Dal Pos ElIo Del Sette Bahram KeramatI (CommIttee Chair) Robert Kuczynski Robert Turner (CommIssIon Chair) 1 Report of the Current Charter RevIew CommIttee Saratoga SprIngs Charter Review CommIssIon March 15, 2017 Introduction The goal of the Current Charter Review Committee of the Saratoga Springs Charter Review Commission (CRC) was to study the current charter of the city from a variety of perspectives. In addition to reading, digesting, and understanding the current city charter, the committee undertook the task of determining how it really works in practice. To this end, the committee used information and data obtained from various sources, as follows: • Testimony from present and past elected city officials who have had direct experience in working under the current charter. • A survey of selected community leaders conducted to assess their willingness to run for office under the current charter vs. alternative charters. • A survey of city employees to assess their experience in how the charter contriButes to or detracts from their job functions, and to solicit their views about the charter itself. • One-on-one interviews with Business leaders and agencies that routinely work with the city. This report presents the information from the above sources and the committee’s conclusions. Although the committee and the entire commission memBers did review and study the Broader literature regarding forms of city government, this report does not represent this Broader perspective. The report is focused on the information we have obtained specific to Saratoga Springs, all of which have Been newly obtained in the last several months.

  • A MICRO-ANALYTIC STUDY of GOSSIP in ELDERLY TALK TUGBA ASLAN Thesis Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Newcastle
    A MICRO-ANALYTIC STUDY OF GOSSIP IN ELDERLY TALK TUGBA ASLAN Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Integrated PhD in Educational and Applied Linguistics Newcastle University School of Education, Communication and Language Sciences February 2017 Abstract The phenomenon of gossip, broadly defined as the evaluative and/or informative talk about absent third parties, has been one of the most commonly used forms of talk since the very beginning of the human interaction; and accordingly has been studied from various schools of research such as sociology, psychology, linguistics, religious studies etc. (Gluckman, 1963; Fine & Rosnow, 1978; Bergmann, 1993; Foster, 2004). However, the sequential organisation of gossip talk, and the topics of gossip still remain underexplored. This study aims to investigate this underexplored phenomenon with an emic perspective in an old people’s home in Turkey, where the body of research on gossip so far is limited to quantitative questionnaire data or participant perception based interview data. This PhD thesis adopts an Ethnomethodological approach, and the analysis draws on Sack’s Conversation Analysis, to shed a light on 1) the sequential organisation and 2) the topics of gossip at a micro- analytic level. From a total of 92 evaluative gossip extracts of different lengths analysed for this study, 28 are presented in this thesis. The results of the analysis add to the existent literature on two levels; the first one is sequential analysis of gossip, and the second is contextual elements present in gossip sequences. The results of the sequential analysis indicate that gossipers apply specific ways to introducing gossip, the gossip hearers have similar strategies to respond to the gossip initiation, and finally there is a systematicity in gossip endings.

  • Conceptualising Party Political Ideology
    Conceptualising Party Political Ideology: An Exploration of Party Modernisation in Britain Katharine Dommett Department of Politics Faculty of Social Sciences University of Sheffield A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy June 2012 ‘No statesman can stand the strain of modern political life without the inner serenity that comes from fidelity to a number of guiding convictions. Without their steadying influence he is blown about by every passing breeze. Nor is cleverness and political agility a substitute for them. It has always been for me a painful spectacle when some Labour spokesman tries to justify a piece of Socialist legislation on exclusively “practical” grounds. There are at least two considerations to be kept in mind when making policy. Its applicability to the immediate situation certainly; but also its faithfulness to the general body of principles which make up your philosophy. Without the latter, politics is merely a job like any other’ (Aneuran Bevan, 1952). Acknowledgements In presenting this thesis I would like to thank a number of people to whom I owe an intellectual debt. Numerous individuals within the department and beyond have offered the inspiration, support and perspective which allowed me to produce this work. I would specifically like to thank my supervisor, Colin Hay, who offered invaluable advice and encouragement. In addition to his guidance, Matthew Flinders, Maria Grasso, Mike Kenny and Andrew Vincent have also provided a wealth of insights. I would also like to thank the ESRC for the scholarship funding which allowed me to complete this work.

  • In Transit. Aspects of Transculturalism in Janice Kulyk Keefer's Travels
    UNIVERSITY OF UMEÅ DISSERTATION ISSN 0345-0155 ISBN 91-7191-211-8 From the Department of English, Faculty of Humanities, Umeå University, Sweden In Transit Aspects of Transculturalism in Janice Kulyk Keefer’s Travels AN ACADEMIC DISSERTATION which will, on the proper authority of the Chancellor’s Office of Umeå University for passing the doctoral examination, be publicly defended in hörsal F, Humanisthuset, on Saturday, 14th September, 1996, at 10.15 a.m. Elisabeth Mårald Umeå University Umeå 1996 Abstract Transculturalism refers to how cultural barriers are transcended and how cultures meet. Because the transcultural perspective reflects hitherto unrepresented spaces, it revises and innovates literary canons. This study investigates aspects of transculturalism in texts dealing with travel by the Canadian writer Janice Kulyk Keefer. It also explores how these aspects might alter our view of Canadian literature. The transcultural perspectives between mainstream Canada and Ukraine, Europe and Acadie have been analysed through three tropes of travel: departure, passage and arrival. Keefer’s texts have been read in accordance with Mikhail Bakhtin's dialogic theories to chart transcultural encounters and clashes. This thesis argues that a historic consciousness of their ethnic group gives the young generation a transcultural position that enables them to profit from their dual cultural competence. Although Imagined Communities are affirmed as receptacles of the cultural heritage, the impending environmental catastrophe demands that the national interests that they represent be abandoned for international co-operation. In Keefer’s European texts the transcultural aspects reflect how travel becomes synonymous with quests and epiphanies. Travelling is described as a learning process inRest Harrow where the protagonist’s increasing cultural competence changes her from a tourist to a real traveller.

Herrera TO THE MEMORY OF: Mary Brice AND WITH SPECIAL THANKS TO: Madge Portwin, Margaret Clarke, Isla MacGregor, Bob Clark, Betty Cameron, Ken Herrera, Cheryl Perriman, and sundry libraries, op-shops, and book exchanges INTRODUCTION Just one more ramble through unexpected byways and surprising twists and turns … yes, I think everyone is allowed to go out with neither bang nor whimper but with her eyes glued to the page … Poor dear, people can say, she didn’t see that bus coming … The difficulty of course is where to store everything; and finding room in my mind is sometimes as tricky as finding room in my bedroom. But was it a good idea to do a short writer’s calendar? A year instead of my usual three years. I had mixed feelings about it. It was nice to see a book take shape so (relatively) swiftly. But I also felt the bits and pieces hadn’t had time to marinate fully. That sense of organic development had been hurried. I also found I tended to run with the simpler stories rather than the ones that needed some research—and some luck, some serendipity. On the other hand, how long a soaking constitutes a decent marinade? Not being a good cook I always find that hard to decide … So this will be a book without a deadline. One which can just wander along in spare moments. Its date will have to wait. Even so, I hope that anyone who happens to read it some day will enjoy it as much as I always enjoy the compiling of books on writing and reading.
