Newsletter No. 305 June 2020 Newsletter No. 305 June 2020 Minister Jeanie Cooper 655790314 E-mail: [email protected] Hon. Minister Rev. Alberto Araujo Minute & Administrative Secretary Email: [email protected] Newsletter 305 La Siesta Evangelical Church Page 1 June 2020 Hello everyone I hope you are managing to cope with what seems like an interminable lockdown. Even though some of the restrictions have been lifted we are now faced with compulsory wearing of masks when out and about and social distancing is difficult. But at least we do have a little more freedom to be out and can now travel all over the Alicante region. I am sure, especially for those who were on their own, this extra freedom has meant they are able to meet up with friends for coffee, provided they still remember social distancing. I received two emails from Ryanair stating that our flights to the UK in early July have been cancelled and then the flights I booked for my daughter and family for their summer break over here have also been cancelled. I am so disappointed and even more disappointed when I learned that the family would also not be able to enjoy the heat of Spanish summer this year. I suspect I will not be alone in feeling sad that I will not be seeing my family for a while. Its something many of us will have to put it up with until this virus is sorted: not being able to visit family or for them to visit us. We still need to remember when we pray those who are suffering from the virus and those who have lost loved ones and friends due to the virus. Its not been an easy time for anyone but hopefully things will start to improve and perhaps we will be able to see our families over Christmas. Unfortunately church remains closed for us because so many of us are aged 70+ and therefore should not put ourselves in a ‘risk’ situation. Cleaning the church is vital for everyone’s safety and that puts a huge onus on the elders to ensure it done properly. At the moment we are not allowed to sing hymns, or use hymn books. Masks have to be worn. I am not sure how easy it will be to speak through a mask so everyone can hear. Current guidance from the IEE is that we do not resume services until such time as the restrictions are lessened. That way we are protecting our congregation from any risks. So, when we eventually get the go ahead from the IEE and the Presbytery to open the church and can meet as a whole church and not half a church that will be a wonderful day...we will need to celebrate this with thankful praise that we have successfully come through such difficult times. In the meantime I will continue to write a short service for each Sunday until we meet again. We really do need to trust in the Lord to help us cope and to guide us when we feel despondent with the way the lockdown is going. He is there for us all if we only ask Him for help. We have just celebrated Jesus’ ascension into heaven. He left His disciples with strict instructions of what they should do when He is no longer with them. They were told to wait in Jerusalem for the Holy Spirit that would give them special powers to continue His work. We know that day as Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit, in the form of tongues of fire, landed on the disciples. As a result they began speaking in many tongues so that the gathered crowds, from many different places, could understand the message. We are now approaching a time in the church’s year when all the exciting events of Jesus’ life have been written and read about. Events such as Christmas, the crucification and the resurrection. We are approaching a time referred to as ‘Ordinary time’ in the church’s year. A time when we learn more about Jesus’ teaching through His parables, and more about the miracles He performs. A time to really learn about how to be a good Christian. A time to learn about loving thy neighbour as thyself as this is one of the most important commandments. A time for one that we of course need to continue developing is our love Jesus. I am sure this long period of lockdown has helped many of us to think more of our neighbours and those who are vulnerable and in need of support, be it through phone calls or even financial support. We need to remember in our prayers all those suffering with the virus, all those who have lost loved ones and friends, Tracey and her children in Mozambique and all those who work in hospitals, shops and provide food for us. We now also need to think of those running the restaurants and bars that they keep all the necessary restrictions in mind when they run their businesses. We also need to pray that the Lord will continue to keep us safe and free from harm and trust that He will help the world to come to terms with this awful virus. May the Lord bless you, may the Lord make his face to shine upon you and grant you peace.

May 13th. Tracey’s birthday! At the risk of being mushy and sentimental (!!) I want to say thank you to EVERYONE who contributed to my xxth (yup - old I know!) birthday. No presents to open, no cards except via email but I think it is a birthday that will stay with my memories forever. Ok, THREE (!!) cakes was INCREDIBLE but what touched me more than anything were the tias and staff who worked together to prepare an extravagant (surprise) Mozambiquan meal (with all my favourites), buy a cake, present a special capulana - cook and clean (and dance and laugh!) - and make it a day to remember. Not to mention my girls who insisted I stay in my room until they had hung balloons at 6:30 AM !! The blessing of being loved and recognized as "belonging" to this family. That gift was and is priceless! May 14th At the moment it is a REAL blessing to be able to sit at Taverna once a week for lunch and soak in the "change of scenery"! Most weeks the flamingos are just down the Marginal too - but not today! With CV19 cases rising this may change soon - so appreciating it while I can! May 21st Last might I cried - twice! I had driven back to the centre , past our city market - the streets were packed, the traffic was crazy, no social distancing , people jammed onto "my loves" (the alternate to buses), some without masks. A normal Friday afternoon. I walked into my room and I cried. Two hours later I received a call from a friend - a child in her community had tested positive for CV19. Quarantined "em casa". Tears welled up again. Then I sat and prayed with the girls on my verandah - prayed that we would not lose hope, not let fear creep in. Prayed for peace to reign in the community - and for our eyes to look up! Newsletter 305 La Siesta Evangelical Church Page 4 June 2020 LETTER FROM NORTHERN IRELAND Greetings from Northern Ireland As we sit at home in Lisburn - or at least as we are at home - not that there is much sitting, we think often of our friends in La Siesta. I hope you are all keeping well and that you have been free of COVID19. It must be very difficult for you in this present pandemic situation not to have been able to leave your homes since March except for the basic necessities of life.

This paper investigates the representation of women physicians in two novels - an American novel titled Elizabeth Stuart Phelps’s Doctor Zay (1882), and a British novel, Dr. Margaret Todd’s Mona Maclean, Medical Student (1892). While also looking at differences these individual novels have, this paper aims to look at how these transatlantic nineteenth century novels have common threads of linking women doctors with the followings: the constant referral to “womanliness,” the question of class affiliations, marriage, and medical modernity. While the two doctor novels end with the conventional marriage plot, these novels fundamentally questioned the assumption that women doctors could only cure women and children. These texts also tried to bend existing gender roles and portrayed women doctors who were deemed as “womanly.” (Yonsei University) Key Words: Doctor Zay, Mona Maclean Medical Student, woman doctors, womanliness, nineteenth-century I. Introduction What common ground do Dr. Quinn of “Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman” (1993-98), Dana Scully in “The X-Files” (1993-2002), Meredith Gray, Miranda Bailey and Christina Yang in “Grey’s Anatomy” (since 2005) have?

  • Laryngealization in Upper Necaxa Totonac Rebekka Puderbaugh
    Laryngealization in Upper Necaxa Totonac by Rebekka Puderbaugh A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Linguistics University of Alberta Examining committee: Dr. Anja Arnhold, Supervisor Dr. David Beck, Supervisor Dr. Benjamin V. Tucker, Examiner Dr. Stephanie Archer, Examiner Dr. Ryan Shosted, External examiner Dr. John Nychka, Pro Dean © Rebekka Puderbaugh, 2019 Abstract This dissertation examines laryngealization contrasts in vowels and fricatives in Upper Necaxa Totonac. In vowels the contrast is presumed to be realized as a form of non- modal phonation, while fricatives are supposed to differ according to their production mechanism. The goal of this dissertation is to provide evidence that will help to deter- mine whether the phonetic characteristics of these sounds align with the impressionistic descriptions of their phonological categories. Laryngealization categories were first examined via a corpus analysis in Chapter 3. The analysis revealed a highly frequent co-occurrence of laryngealized vowels and following glottal stops. No relationship was found between vowel laryngealization and ejective fricatives. In Chapter 4 an analysis of the difference in amplitude between the first and second harmonics (H1-H2) in laryngealized and non-laryngealized vowels showed that H1-H2 values were not influenced by vowel laryngealization categories, but were influenced the presence of a glottal stop following the vowel. This finding suggests that the laryngealization contrast neutralizes in vowels before glottal stops. In order to consider the potentially glottalic nature of ejective fricatives in UNT, Chapter 5 compared durations of phonetic events that occur during fricative production, including oral closure and frication.

No quotation from it should be published without the written consent of the author and information derived from it should be acknowledged. Submitted to the University of Durham for the degree of PhD July, 1997 20 NOV 1997 Abstract A Mission for Medicine: Dr Ellen Farrer and India 1891-1933. Imogen Siobhan Anderson. Submitted to the University of Durham for the degree of PhD, 1997. The history of the British in India is a tapestry already richly woven, but the life and career of Ellen Farrer is a vibrant strand of colour which adds character and texture to the general finish. The thesis is not a biography, but an attempt to visualise the reality of medical service in British India and to explore the true nature of European survival in a foreign land. Generalised and ambitious histories have depicted European life in India as a civilised enclave amid a barbarous and backward society, while the apologists of Empire have variously held up technological improvement, economic advance, educational enlightenment and western medicine as undisputed bounties of British dominion. Of all these, medicine has been regarded as a gift of inestimable value, untainted by the colonial sub-text. This thesis, therefore, seeks to scrutinise received wisdom and to share a vision of India to discover how far historical perception is reflected in individual experience. The vision is Ellen's. Her legacy of documentation resides in dusty splendour in the Angus Library at Oxford, and comprises archive boxes full of closely written engagement diaries, a collection of letters written to her sisters over the course of her sojourn in India, sundry papers and drafts of speeches, and a miscellaneous cache of correspondence.

    Olive Margery Anderson (1894–1985) President of the Ulster Medical Society 1957–58 Presidential Address Ulster Medical Society 21st November 1957 ELIZABETH GARRETT ANDERSON AND HER CONTEMPORARIES Today, in most countries in the world, there are women practising medicine; I think I am correct in saying that they specialise in every branch; opportunities vary in different countries and even in different parts of the same country. In Australia there is a Flying Doctor Service, carried on by two women who are in general practice; they cover thousands of miles and deal with all types of emergencies. In the first world war, women worked as civilians in Military Hospitals, and in Auxiliary Medical Services, wearing the uniform and rank marks of whichever women’s service they were attached to. In the last world war they wore uniform, and were attached to Battalions and to Military Hospitals as ordinary medical officers and as specialists, they were also attached to the Women’s Services, but only after the war were they granted commissions in the regular forces. friends. So Elizabeth was brought up in America. Mr. The advance in the work and status of medical Blackwell believed in equal opportunities for his women in our own country and in America, was made daughters, and they were educated with their possible by the vision, courage and perseverance of brothers. Elizabeth, as a child, is described as being three young English women: shy, quiet and strong willed, but she grew up into a Elizabeth Blackwell, pretty and happy girl, fond of dancing and full of Elizabeth Garrett, and charm.

    EDITH PECHEY-PHIPSON, M.D.: UNTOLD STORY by EDYTHE LUTZKER ON 7 October, 1845, in the village of Langham near Colchester, Essex, England, a daughter whom they called Mary Edith was born to Baptist Minister William Pechey and his wife Sarah. As Miss Edith Pechey, and later as Dr. Pechey-Phipson, this daughter did so much, in so many ways, to help move the world forward, that her story deserves to be told. Born in the eighth year of the reign of Queen Victoria, and surviving the Queen by less than a decade, the sixty-three years of her remarkable life thus are part of the story of the Victorian era, that period of widespread social ferment, and of great humanitarian reforms-reforms bitterly opposed, and won only at tremendous cost to those who engaged in the struggles for them. There was little education for girls in England then. Rarely indeed did they attend any of the existing schools. Very young daughters of the poor worked as domestic servants or mill hands; middle-class girls were taught at home by under-educated governesses. Edith Pechey was more fortunate. Her father had been a brilliant John Ward Scholar at the University of Edinburgh, from which he received an M.A. degree; and besides his service to his church, he was the author of religious works, and active in the administration of the school maintained by the nonconformists in his parish. Her mother also was competent in Greek and other studies and both parents possessed-along with their questing nonconformist minds-a deep and serious love of learning.

    herstory an urban pilgrimage reflecting AUC values herstory an urban pilgrimage reflecting AUC values INTRODUCTION Welcome to herstory: an urban pilgrimage produced by Augustine United Church in Edinburgh. herstory is a way of exploring the areas around Edinburgh’s George IV Bridge, home to our church congregation, and seeing the city through a new lens. It’s about just a few of the women who lived, 1 worked and made a difference in this part of Edinburgh. You can download our audio podcast of herstory and “walk the talk” around the streets near our church building. An interactive map is available on the Augustine website: www.augustine.org.uk. This short pilgrimage is an opportunity to ask why individual women matter to those who explore their Christian faith at Augustine; how, in their very different ways, these women say something about the progressive, inclusive beliefs held by Augustine’s members and friends. Whether you read or listen to herstory, or walk the pilgrimage itself, you will have the opportunity to discover stories, make connections, and reflect on your own beliefs and priorities. We offer you a time to read (or listen); time to pause; and time, if you wish, to pray. Photo: Simon Jones herstory an urban pilgrimage reflecting AUC values 1. WHY HERSTORY? (Augustine United Church) <Our walk begins on George IV Bridge, which connects with the Royal Mile, and beside Augustine United Church – directly opposite the popular Elephant House café.> Why a herstory pilgrimage? Augustine United Church (AUC) has a motto: “Growing seeds of justice and joy”. It mirrors our dandelion logo.
