  • Dear Westbrook Senior Center Participants, a Year Ago This Month
    Dear Westbrook Senior Center Participants, A year ago this month (if you can believe it), we were directed by the Governor to shut the doors to the Senior Center and pause our daily routine as we knew it. Now, as all of you are aware, the DPH and the State of Connecticut started vaccinating Senior Citizens for COVID-19 on January 18, 2021. For many, the process for vaccine registration was difficult and frustrating; but as of March 1, over 75% of Seniors in our area have received their first COVID-19 vaccine dose! With so many seniors getting vaccinated and the State’s decreasing COVID positivity rate, I will be working with Zachary Faiella-Town of Westbrook Health Director to develop a re-opening plan for the Westbrook Senior Center. When re-opening the Senior Center, a lot of factors have to be considered. This is why we have not yet released a date. When we are ready to open, all of you will receive notice of the date and guidelines for program participation. The guidelines will explain all of the changes to programs, changes to the Center and new rules we have to abide by to remain open. Although it will be structured differently, our mission is still the same: “to improve the quality of life for Senior Citizens in Westbrook, and our neighboring Shoreline towns and to promote the physical and social well-being of our Senior Community”. I miss you all and look forward to seeing of you soon. Best, Courtney Burks-Director March is Irish-American Heritage Month, Luck of the Irish Month and Shamrock Month.

  • Love Enthroned
    Love Enthroned Author(s): Steele, Daniel (1824-1914) Publisher: Grand Rapids, MI: Christian Classics Ethereal Library Description: Daniel Steele firmly agreed with John Wesley that Christians can and should live a life free of voluntary sin. This striving towards perfection of faith became known as the ªHoliness Movement.º Originally a Methodist/Wesleyan phenomenon, the movement came to have profound effects on later Pentecostal and evangelical Christian communities. This work lays out the doctrine of sanctification, and urges readers to seek further sanctification in everyday life. Because Steele shares his own personal testimony of his faith, the book takes on a decidedly more intimate and relatable nature.

  • 4. 'I AM YOUR KING': Authority in Game of Thrones
    4. ‘I AM YOUR KING’: Authority in Game of Thrones Introduction Game of Thrones (hereafter GoT, 2011–), a quasi-mediaeval fantasy series based on George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire (ASOAIF, 1996-), has a significant impact on contemporary pop culture. With an average viewership of 18.4 million per episode, at the peak of its popularity, GoT claims the record for the most-watched TV show in the history of the HBO Network (Beaumont-Thomas 2014). The show and cast have received several prestigious awards, including the Peabody Award 2012, three Hugo Awards for Best Dramatic Presentation in short and long forms, and a total of ten Emmys to date. Like Sherlock, its active and productive fandom spans most social media sites, in addition to the major fanfiction archives. Set in the imagined world of Westeros and Essos, the series charts the feuds and struggles of several powerful families over the Iron Throne, seat of the hereditary monarchy that unifies the seven so-called kingdoms of Westeros. At the outset, the old Targaryen dynasty has been overthrown in a bloody rebellion, and the new Baratheon dynasty is in crisis, plagued by accusations of incest and illegitimacy. Murder, conspiracy and betrayal are the currency of the day amongst the nobility, whilst the hungry, war-torn commons pose an increasing threat to the political structure. It might be argued, then, central problem in GoT is power and authority—who can and should rule Westeros? What gives anyone the right? As Richard Cor- rigan puts it, ‘the question of who is the “legitimate authority” in the Seven Kingdoms […] is of crucial importance’ (2012, p.

Abstract This thesis examines representations of the medieval in popular fantasy film and television. Emphasizing costume design, this paper explores themes of identity, nation, past and present. Analysis is organized through three case studies, Andrew Adamson’s The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005), Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) and David Benioff and D.B. Weiss’ Game of Thrones (2011- 2019). Each work demonstrates different strategies for constructing the past and referencing history to authenticate fantastic worldbuilding. They exist within broader traditions of medievalism and exploring present concerns through the veil of the past.

  • Tears Are Not a Womans Only Weapon” En Historiebruksanalys Av Hbos Tv- Serie Game of Thrones
    Examensarbete ”Tears are not a womans only weapon” En historiebruksanalys av HBOs tv- serie Game of Thrones Författare: Erik Olofsson Examinator: Zara Bersbo Handledare: Cecilia Trenter Termin: VT13 Ämne: Historia Nivå: Kandidat Kurskod: 2HIÄ06 Abstract The middle ages is a time in our history that is often used as a frame when portraying fantasy on tv. HBOs immensely popular series Game of Thrones could easily be counted as one of these. But to what extent does the creators of the series approach the history of our world while creating their own? The aim of this essay is to analyse a number of characters from the tv- series out of gender- and their place in the social structure and then compare the findings with the image of the middle ages that is given in academic research. By analysing the two released seasons of Game of Thrones the study has shown that there are many similarities between the fictional world and the actual world but that it also differs through choices made by the creators of the series.
