    SONGS OF THE NATIVITY John Calvin Selected Sermons on Luke 1 & 2 Translated into English by ROBERT WHITE THE BANNER OF TRUTH TRUST 4 THE JUDGE OF ALL THE WORLD 'He has plucked princes from their seats, and has raised up the lowly. 53 He has filled with good things those who were hungry, and has left the rich empty. 54 He has received Israel his servant in remembrance of his mercy, 55 According as he spoke to our fathers, promising mercy to Abraham and his seedf or ever' (Luke r: 5 2- 5 5). t1 A ) e have seen already that, because God resists the proud, 'V V we cannot do better than walk before him in sincerity. For if we try to promote ourselves by high-fl.own ambition and careful scheming, God is bound to intervene and bring everything undone, so that it all ends in ruin and confusion. Let us not be too clever, but be sober-minded. If we did not live modestly, but rather aimed above our calling, we would become like wayward beasts-the faster we went, the more likely we would be to break our necks! That is why Mary continues her song with the words, 'God plucks princes and the mighty from their seats, and raises up the lowly.' Unbelievers, when they see the way the world is always chang• ing, think that God plays with humankind as with a ball. That is the kind of thing men say when they blaspheme God, or else they think that change is merely random.1 So what we have to notice is that, when God raises up the lowly and casts the mighty down, 49 SONGS OF THE NATIVITY The judge cf.A ll the World it is because men cannot endure their condition.

  • SS RICHARD MONTGOMERY Survey and Hull Thickness Report 2013
    SS RICHARD MONTGOMERY Survey and Hull Thickness Report 2013 Maritime & Coastguard Agency September 2015 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 In August 1944, the US Liberty Ship SS Richard Montgomery grounded in the Thames Estuary and, despite immediate attempts to salvage the cargo of munitions, the ship sank before the salvage operation could be completed. Approximately 1400 tons of explosives remain in the forward section of the wreck. The wreck of the SS Richard Montgomery is a designated dangerous wreck under section 2 of the Protection of Wrecks Act 1973 and there is a prohibited area around the wreck. The wreck has been the subject of regular surveys using a variety of methods. 1.2 The 2013 multibeam sonar and laser scanning survey of the SS Richard Montgomery was conducted on the 13th and 14th January 2014. Initially scheduled for October 2013, the delayed start of the survey resulted mainly from prolonged very poor weather and tidal surges during the autumn and winter of 2013. 1.3 As in the 2012 survey, the Port of London Authority vessels MV Galloper and MV Yantlet were used to carry out the data acquisition. The MV Galloper, the smaller of the two vessels, was used to access the shallow areas around the wreck and the MV Yantlet acquired the seabed data surrounding the wreck site. In addition to this, and separate from the multibeam survey work, a hull thickness assessment was undertaken by a Ministry of Defence dive team. This too was affected by the continued poor weather and therefore this work was split into two phases to fit around suitable weather windows.

    Bedlam in Mind: Seeing and Reading Historical Images of Madness Bedlam in Mind: Seeing and Reading Historical Images of Madness Simon Cross Department of Media and Cultural Studies Nottingham Trent University Clifton Lane Nottingham NG11 8NS NOTTINGHAM UK Email: [email protected] Fax: 0115 9418418 Dr Simon Cross is Senior Lecturer in Media and Cultural Studies at Nottingham Trent University. He is the author oi Mediating Madness: Mental Distress and Cultural Representation. Houndsmill: Palgrave Macmillan, 2010. 1 Bedlam in Mind: Seeing and Reading Historical Images of Madness Bedlam in Mind: Seeing and Reading Historical Images of Madness Abstract. In this article I explore mythical Bedlam of popular imaginings. London's Bethlem Hospital was for centuries a unique institution caring for the insane and its alter ego 'Bedlam' influenced popular stereotypes of insanity. For instance, while the type of vagrant beggar known as a 'Tom of Bedlam' was said to have disappeared from English society with the Restoration, the figure of Mad Tom retained a visual and vocal presence within popular musical culture from the seventeenth century up to the present era. Using the ballad 'Mad Tom o' Bedlam' as a case study, I illustrate how an early modern stereotype of madness has maintained continuity within a popular song tradition whilst undergoing cultural change. Keywords: Bethlem Hospital; Bedlam; historical image of madness; continuity and change in Bedlam stereotype; 'Mad Tom of Bedlam' (Bedlamite ballad) Introduction1 In the English-speaking world, the symbol of a segregative response to insanity has long been fixed on London's Bethlem Hospital, popularly known as Bedlam (Scull, 2006).

    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE SCHOOL OF MUSIC PRETTY OPHELIA: THE DESTRUCTIVE NATURE OF OBJECTIFICATION THROUGH MUSIC AND PROSE LEAH W. MUELLER Spring 2012 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in Music Education with honors in Music Reviewed and approved* by the following: Ted Christopher Assistant Professor of Music Thesis Supervisor Joanne Rutkowski Professor of Music Education Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College i ABSTRACT Shakespeare’s Ophelia has long fascinated composers, painters, poets, and scholars alike. She is at first beautiful and pure, but descends into utter madness filled with dark coded phrases that leave plenty of room for mystery and interpretation. In this thesis I investigated the lack of personal identity and tragic circumstances that lead to Ophelia’s demise. All who surround her, Hamlet, Polonius, Laertes, and even Shakespeare himself, constantly objectify her. The successive composers who have interpreted Ophelia diminish this objectification by giving her, her own voice. As part of this thesis project, a recital featuring the Brahms’ and Strauss Ophelia lieder as well as a performance of the original Shakespeare text was given on November 15th, 2011. The recital program, program notes, script, and video are included in this thesis. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT i TABLE OF CONTENTS ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS iii CHAPTER 1: OPHELIA IN PROSE Introduction 1 Ophelia and the Play 2 A Symbol of Purity 5 Ophelia Through the Feminist Gaze 8 CHAPTER 2: OPHELIA IN MUSIC Ophelia and the French 13 Ophelia and the Germans 16 CHAPTER 3: OPHELIA ONSTAGE Performance Planning 22 Rehearsing for the Performance 25 CHAPTER 4: SUMMARY, DISCUSSION, & CONCLUSION Summary 27 Discussion 28 Conclusion 29 BIBLIOGRAPHY 30 APPENDICES APPENDIX A: Performance Script 32 APPENDIX B: Recital Program 40 APPENDIX C: Recital Program Notes 42 APPENDIX D: Video of Performance Project 45 Academic Vita iii ACKNOWLEGMENTS I would like to thank Dr.

  • SS Richard Montgomery Survey Report 2017
    SS Richard Montgomery Survey Report 2017 Maritime and Coastguard Agency January 2019 1. Executive Summary 1.1 The SS Richard Montgomery was a US Liberty Ship which went aground in the Thames Estuary in August 1944 whilst carrying a cargo of munitions. Although immediate efforts were made to salvage the cargo, the vessel broke in two, flooded and sank before the salvage operations could be completed. The wreck lies adjacent to the Medway Approach Channel and is approximately 1.5 miles from the town of Sheerness and 5 miles from Southend. Approximately 1400 tons of explosives remain on board the wreck and, for this reason, the wreck is designated as a dangerous wreck under section 2 of the Protection of Wrecks Act 1973 and regular surveys are undertaken. 1.2 Surveys of the wreck are undertaken in order to provide information on its condition, to identify any changes or deterioration and to inform future management strategy. For the 2017 survey of the wreck, the scope of the work included a multibeam sonar survey of the wreck and the seabed surrounding it and laser scanning of those areas of the wreck which are visible above the water. The collection of both multibeam sonar and laser scanning data have been regular features of the SS Richard Montgomery survey in recent years. As a repeat survey, the multibeam and laser data was acquired in a manner that enabled direct comparison with historical datasets and allows for comparisons with data collected in the future. In addition to this, the 2017 survey included the trialling of a new ultra-high resolution mode on the multibeam sonar unit.
