  • Thank You Very Much. I Am Very Pleased and Honored to Be with You Today
    Thank you very much. I am very pleased and honored to be with you today. I would also like to extend my warm welcome to Vilnius. It is indeed a charming and special city. How do I recommend you might enjoy the city? Wander the narrow streets of the Old Town and if you see a courtyard, explore it- You might be surprised how far it goes and you never know what you may see! Vilnius has about 100 churches and are worth a visit. Many have been lovingly and beautifully restored. My husband has been with the State Department as a diplomat for over 30 years. Both born in New England, our upbringing in Massachusetts and Connecticut was far removed from the wandering life. Both us moved locally when we were 3 and then except to live at college, did not leave that house until we were married at the tender age of 21. In fact, I knew so little of the life that when John told me at age 19 when we first met, that he wanted to become a Foreign Service officer, I asked, “What’s that??” But after completing a Master’s in International Relations and the numerous tests and screenings of the State Department, he did indeed become a Foreign Service officer. Our first assignment was in Mexico City- a small city at the time that had only about 15 million people and it seemed about that many cars! We actually drove to the city from Washington D.C over a week’s time. John had never been out of the country and I had only ventured to Canada.

In fact it takes 365.25 days to orbit the sun, so those in the know decided to add an extra day every 4 years to balance things out and they chose February because it is the only month without 30 or 31 days.

  • Religious-Verses-And-Poems
    A CLUSTER OF PRECIOUS MEMORIES A bud the Gardener gave us, A cluster of precious memories A pure and lovely child. Sprayed with a million tears He gave it to our keeping Wishing God had spared you If only for a few more years. To cherish undefiled; You left a special memory And just as it was opening And a sorrow too great to hold, To the glory of the day, To us who loved and lost you Down came the Heavenly Father Your memory will never grow old. Thanks for the years we had, And took our bud away. Thanks for the memories we shared. We only prayed that when you left us That you knew how much we cared. 1 2 AFTERGLOW A Heart of Gold I’d like the memory of me A heart of gold stopped beating to be a happy one. I’d like to leave an afterglow Working hands at rest of smiles when life is done. God broke our hearts to prove to us I’d like to leave an echo He only takes the best whispering softly down the ways, Leaves and flowers may wither Of happy times and laughing times The golden sun may set and bright and sunny days. I’d like the tears of those who grieve But the hearts that loved you dearly to dry before too long, Are the ones that won’t forget. And cherish those very special memories to which I belong. 4 3 ALL IS WELL A LIFE – WELL LIVED Death is nothing at all, I have only slipped away into the next room.

    Media Contacts: Brady Smith 412-454-6459 [email protected] Kim Roberts 412-454-6382 [email protected] Walking Dead Meets Living Dead: History Center to Dig into Pittsburgh’s Zombie History –The Smithsonian’s curator of sports and entertainment will explore Pittsburgh’s zombie connections in honor of the 50th anniversary of Romero’s “Night of the Living Dead”– PITTSBURGH, Oct. 11, 2018 – In honor of the 50th anniversary of George A. Romero’s “Night of the Living Dead,” the Senator John Heinz History Center will dig into Pittsburgh’s spine-tingling zombie history at the Walking Dead Meets Living Dead: Zombies in Pittsburgh event on Friday, Oct. 26 from 6-9 p.m. Filmed about 30 miles north of Pittsburgh in Evans City, Romero’s “Night of the Living Dead” premiered on Oct. 1, 1968 at the Fulton Theater in downtown Pittsburgh (today’s Byham Theater). The cult classic spawned a revolution in the horror movie genre. During this haunting program at the “Smithsonian’s home in Pittsburgh,” the Smithsonian’s curator of sports and entertainment Eric Jentsch will explore the gory details of zombies in pop culture and the Smithsonian’s efforts to collect zombie history, including the National Museum of American History’s recent work with AMC’s “The Walking Dead.” Associates of the late Romero will share their experiences working with the “Godfather of Zombies” right here in Western Pa. Ghoulish guests can also enjoy a complimentary zombie-themed cocktail from Wigle Whiskey, create a sinister zombie movie poster, and walk away with a zombie bite courtesy of the Douglas Education Center’s Special Effects Makeup Program.

  • Honor and Shame Charles Stewart Department of Anthropology
    Honor and Shame Charles Stewart Department of Anthropology University College London London WC1E 6BT [email protected] Abstract Honor once defined northern Europeans, then it defined others on the margins of Europe, and now it is a problematic feature of others within Euro-American societies. This entry traces honor and shame as paired concepts in social scientific thought beginning with their introduction by anthropologists of the Mediterranean in the 1960s. Men claimed honor through acts of bravado or violence which commanded social respect. Transgressions of a man’s property, including his women, caused shame and required retaliation. Honor had been a familiar idea in medieval and early modern Europe, but it disappeared with the emergence of strong centralized states, and it became a fascinating anachronism in Mediterranean societies. Eventually it disappeared from the northern Mediterranean littoral only to re-surface in the heart of modern Western societies among urban street gangs or in ‘honor killings’, which have been on the rise in Europe and North America since the turn of the twenty first century. Keywords Honor, shame, Mediterranean, Pitt-Rivers, duelling, honor crimes, violence, gender, sexuality Cross References: [from previous edition] Culture and Emotion; Emotions, Psychological Structure of; Emotions, Sociology of; Feud and Internal War: Legal Aspects; Guilt; Mafia; Shame and the Social Bond; Tribe; Violence, History of; Violence in Anthropology Honor and Shame C. Stewart University College London, UK An historical perspective on honor and shame reveals this conceptual pair to be an othering label – a substandard ethos that Euro-American societies left behind with the advent of state judicial control.
