Jack Cathey and Peggy Harwell were sworn in to fill the vacant 2nd and 3rd Ward seats. The council voted, in a special called meeting on August 17, to appoint Cathey to the 2nd Ward seat vacated by the death of Councilman Artie Allen in June. Cathey was unanimously approved by the three sitting councilmen after interviewing six residents of the ward who had submitted letters of interest in the position. The council appointed Harwell to the 3rd Ward seat in a special called meeting immediately pre- ceding Tuesday’s work session. Harwell is the widow of Councilman C.H. Har- well, who served in the seat until his death in July. Both will serve the unexpired term for each seat, until the August, 2022, local election. The second and final vote on an annexation request for a parcel adjoining city limits along Mooresville Highway at the I-65 exit will not ap- pear on next Tuesday’s agenda.

  • Samskara-By-Ur-Anantha-Murthy.Pdf
    LITERATURE ~O} OXFORD"" Made into a powerful, award-winning film in 1970, this important Kannada novel of the sixties has received widespread acclaim from both critics and general read­ ers since its first publication in 1965. As a religious novel about a decaying brahmin colony in the south Indian village of Karnataka, Samskara serves as an allegory rich in realistic detail, a contemporary reworking of ancient Hindu themes and myths, and a serious, poetic study of a religious man living in a community of priests gone to seed. A death, which stands as the central event in the plot, brings in its wake a plague, many more deaths, live questions with only dead answers, moral chaos, and the rebirth of one man. The volume provides a useful glos­ sary of Hindu myths, customs, Indian names, flora, and other terms. Notes and an afterword enhance the self­ contained, faithful, and yet readable translation. U.R. Anantha Murthy is a well-known Indian novelist. The late A.K. Ramanujan w,as William E.

  • The Mesopotamian Netherworld Through the Archaeology of Grave Goods and Textual Sources in the Early Dynastic III Period to the Old Babylonian Period
    UO[INOIGMUKJ[ 0LATE The Mesopotamian Netherworld through the Archaeology of Grave Goods and Textual Sources in the Early Dynastic III Period to the Old Babylonian Period A B N $EEP3HAFTOF"URIALIN&OREGROUNDWITH-UDBRICK"LOCKINGOF%NTRANCETO#HAMBERFOR"URIAL 3KELETON ANDO "URIAL 3KELETONNikki Zwitser Promoter: Prof. Dr. Katrien De Graef Co-promoter: Prof. Dr. Joachim Bretschneider Academic Year 2016-1017 Thesis submitted to obtain the degree of Master of Arts: Archaeology. Preface To the dark house, dwelling of Erkalla’s god, to the dark house which those who enter cannot leave, on the road where travelling is one-way only, to the house where those enter are deprived of light, where dust is their food, clay their bread. They see no light, they dwell in darkness. Many scholars who rely on literary texts depict the Mesopotamian netherworld as a bleak and dismal place. This dark portrayal does, indeed, find much support in the Mesopotamian literature. Indeed many texts describe the afterlife as exceptionally depressing. However, the archaeological study of grave goods may suggest that there were other ways of thinking about the netherworld. Furthermore, some scholars have neglected the archaeological data, while others have limited the possibilities of archaeological data by solely looking at royal burials. Mesopotamian beliefs concerning mortuary practices and the afterlife can be studied more thoroughly by including archaeological data regarding non-royal burials and textual sources. A comparison of the copious amount of archaeological and textual evidence should give us a further insight in the Mesopotamian beliefs of death and the netherworld. Therefore, for this study grave goods from non-royal burials, literature and administrative texts will be examined and compared to gain a better understanding of Mesopotamian ideas regarding death and the netherworld.

I'm not even a big baseball fan and this one was one of my favorites in the book. After discovering his talent- he swears to use it sparingly and on bad people only, but this has unforeseen consequences. Since his first collection, Nightshift , published 35 years ago, Stephen King has dazzled listeners with his genius as a writer of short fiction. Not his usual. There are thrilling connections between stories, including themes of morality, the afterlife, guilt, and what we would do differently if we could see into the future or correct the mistakes of the past. A series of mile drives in college led to Mile 81 and the most homicidal car since Christine. I was delighted to see Drunken Fireworks included as it was originally released as an audiobook exclusive this summer. Plus, it features autobiographical comments on when, why and how he came to write or rewrite each story. More Details It's cool. Pain you cannot see is usually written off or flat out ignored by the very people who you seek help from. Add to Wish List failed. Although I must say, I really love the structure of this story. Cancel anytime. There were some stories here I loved , and some that, as some of Mr. Listeners also enjoyed Mile 81 — This story was surprisingly and glaringly amateur.

  • Nuffield Primary History World Study: a Sumerian Mystery
    NUFFIELD PRIMARY HISTORY WORLD STUDY: A SUMERIAN MYSTERY TEACHERS’ NOTES The Sumerian mystery, lasting three lessons, was taught to a combined class of children aged 9–11 in a small rural primary school. The resource for the lesson was a description of what people found in one of the royal tombs of Ur which dated from about 4000 years ago. (This was in ancient Mesopotamia, near what we now call the Persian Gulf.) The story is full of the magic and mystery of the past, old gods and burial ceremonies, belief in an afterlife, and mystifying objects. Teaching methods used were storytelling and expressive movement. Both methods offer ways of teaching history with the human element strongly present. Storytelling provides children with mental pictures and information about past situations; and expressive movement requires them to make a real effort to think and feel their way into such situations, and to express their understanding enactively, through frames (tableaux). The lessons needed thorough preparation to be successful, but then this is true of most good teaching. Year group/class Combined Year 5 and 6 class of 29 pupils, mixed gender and ability. Teaching time Three lessons, totalling approximately 2.5 hours. Learning objectives To use expressive movement to: • develop the children’s sympathy with a mystery of the past in such a way that they begin to understand the beliefs and behaviour of the people involved • put the children into a situation where they will react in ways that are consistent with the historical information that survives • gain an understanding of what might have been the sequence of events when a king of Ur died • gain an insight into the importance of religious myths in Sumerian society.
