  • Diana, Princess of Wales
    Diana, Princess of Wales The Lady Diana Frances Spencer (Diana Frances Mountbatten- Windsor, née Spencer) (1 July 1961–31 August 1997) was the first wife of Charles, Prince of Wales. From her marriage in 1981 to her divorce in 1996 she was styled Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales. After her divorce in 1996, Diana ceased to be a Royal Highness and The Princess of Wales and instead was styled Diana, Princess of Wales. She was often called Princess Diana by the media and the public, but this was incorrect both during and after her marriage, as she was only ever a Princess by marriage, not by birth.' An iconic presence on the world- stage, Diana, Princess of Wales was noted for her pioneering charity work. Yet her philanthropic endeavours were overshadowed by her scandal-plagued marriage to Prince Charles. Her bitter accusations via friends and biographers of adultery, mental cruelty and emotional distress visited upon her riveted the world for much of the 1990s, spawning books, magazine articles and television movies. From the time of her engagement to the Prince of Wales in 1981 until her death in a car accident in 1997, the Princess was arguably the most famous woman in the world, the pre-eminent female celebrity of her generation: a fashion icon, an image of feminine beauty, admired and emulated for her high-profile involvement in AIDS issues and the international campaign against landmines. During her lifetime, she was often referred to as the most photographed person in the world. To her admirers, The Princess of Wales was a role model — after her death, there were even calls for her to be nominated for sainthood — while her detractors saw her life as a cautionary tale of how an obsession with publicity can ultimately destroy an individual.

Available wherever books are sold. 1 Sunday, August 31, 1997 5:35 P.M. He took a few steps toward the body, gasped, then reeled back as if struck by an unseen hand. Beatrice Humbert, the diminutive head nurse at Paris’s Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital, began to reach out to steady Prince Charles but stopped herself as he regained his composure. “He was absolutely white,” she recalled, “as if he could not believe what he was seeing.” Humbert understood too well. Ever since Princess Diana had been brought in from the operating room where surgeons had tried in vain to save her, nearly everyone who walked into the second-floor room with its bright, freshly painted robin’s egg blue walls struggled to keep from fainting. “It was just too much to take in,” Humbert said, “too much, too much. .” Charles was “crushed,” said another nurse on the scene, Jeanne Lecorcher. “I had always thought of him and all the royals as very cold and unfeeling, and like everyone else I knew that he really loved Camilla. So I was very impressed by how emotional the Prince became. Very impressed.” No one was more surprised by this reaction than Charles. He thought he had had ample time to rebound from the initial shock. After all, it had been thirteen hours since he was awakened at Balmoral Castle in Scotland with the shocking news that his ex-wife had been injured and her lover, Dodi Fayed, killed in a Paris car crash.

  • Status of Celebrity Marks in India Dr
    JLJ 2016 Status of Celebrity Marks in India Dr. Ranjana Ferrão* 1. Introduction A CELEBRITY is a person who is widely recognized in a given society and commands a degree of public and media attention. A person can be said to be a celebrity when he is popular in public eye. Famous people who are in constant spotlight in public, be it actors, sports persons, singers are asked to lend their name for promoting a wide range of products and services. The use of the celebrity’s name captures the public’s attention, sparks curiosity and creates interest in the products and services. In ancient times Queens and Popes were asked to endorse patent medicines.1 This technique has never failed. No wonder, companies and manufacturers do not shy away from using celebrities to launch and market their products. The use of a celebrity in an advertisement may help to breathe life into a product2. Many companies, however, are using celebrity names without their consent to promote their products. Hence IP experts suggest celebrities to protect their image rights by getting registered under the Intellectual Property laws. This paper is a small attempt to provide an overview about the status of celebrity marks in India. 2. Definition of Celebrity The Intellectual Property Laws in India do not define the term ‘celebrity’. However, the Indian Copyright Act defines the term “performer”3 which given a broad interpretation may include the term “celebrity” within its ambit. A performer ‘includes an actor, singer, musician, dancer, acrobat, juggler, conjurer, snake charmer, a person delivering a lecture or any other person who makes a performance’.

  • The Role of Poetry in Worship
    285 JOHN DAVIES The Role of Poetry in Worship John Davies offers a framework for understanding the various functions of poetry when included in worship. He applies his understanding to four different examples of poems used in particular contexts. He examines the specific role of the poem in each case, and suggests that poetry complements other material in a service and can help to transform the perceptions of congregations when used creatively. Introduction in trying to get hold of things mysterious we try to invent something definite and mystery can never be defined or must always be redefined or better yet come at newly and indirectly through stories and things around us thru parables and food1 In trying to define poetry, one thing is largely true - that poetry tends to use few words to express a multitude of meanings, a complex of symbols, which would require much lengthier prose to explain. In the above extract, Corita Kent expresses much of what I aim to say more expansively in this exploration of the role of poetry in worship. Worship could be defined as an attempt to 'get hold of things mysterious'. This phrase contains that sense in which, in worship, a congregation gathers to express the barely expressible. It addresses the aspect of worship whereby a congregation gathers to give voice to a deeply-felt faith, to reaffirm deeply-held beliefs, or to attempt to feel a tentative faith, to try to make sense of nascent beliefs. By partaking in liturgies which shape these expressions, the 'mysteries' of the faith are encountered and in some way (or various ways) understood.
