  • Authentic Prayer” Matthew 6:7-13, 7:7-11
    3-4-18 Pastor Tom “Authentic Prayer” Matthew 6:7-13, 7:7-11 Matthew 6:7-13 - And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. 9 “This, then, is how you should pray: “‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, 10 your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us today our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’ Skip ahead to Matthew 7:7-11 - Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. 9 “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 11 If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! Finally! We’ve been going through the Sermon on the Mount, and Jesus is telling us everything we need to do. But this week, we finally get something out of this whole Christianity thing! He says if we just ask, seek, and knock, we will receive, find, and the door will be opened for us! So here comes the big question: What are you gonna ask for? The guy who turns water into wine, who heals the sick, raises the dead, and does a ton of other miracles says, “ask and it will be given to you.” Man, “Well, Jesus, where do I start? Car, vacation, house… I guess I should throw in world peace, too…” This actually reminds me of a commercial from a few years ago where some people got whatever they asked for.

  • Urging All of Us to Open Our Minds and Hearts So That We Can Know Beyond
    CHAPTER 1 HOLISTIC READING We have left the land and embarked. We have burned our bridges behind us- indeed we have gone farther and destroyed the land behind us. Now, little ship, look out! Beside you is the ocean: to be sure, it does not always roar, and at times it lies spread out like silk and gold and reveries of graciousness. But hours will come when you realize that it is infinite and that there is nothing more awesome than infinity... Oh, the poor bird that felt free now strikes the walls of this cage! Woe, when you feel homesick for the land as if it had offered more freedom- and there is no longer any ―land.‖ - Nietzsche Each man‘s life represents a road toward himself, an attempt at such a road, the intimation of a path. No man has ever been entirely and completely himself. Yet each one strives to become that- one in an awkward, the other in a more intelligent way, each as best he can. Each man carries the vestiges of his birth- the slime and eggshells of his primeval past-… to the end of his days... Each represents a gamble on the part of nature in creation of the human. We all share the same origin, our mothers; all of us come in at the same door. But each of us- experiments of the depths- strives toward his own destiny. We can understand one another; but each is able to interpret himself alone. – Herman Hesse 1 In this chapter I suggest a new method of reading, which I call “holistic reading.” Building on the spiritual model of the Self offered by Jiddu Krishnamurti and the psychological model of “self” offered by Dr.

  • Gap Year Guide What Is It and Is It Right for Me?
    Gap Year Guide What is it and is it right for me? What is a Gap Year? An intentional period of time between high school graduation and starting college for a student to learn more about their interests, values and what they would like for their future. A structured opportunity for high-quality experiences such as an internship, traveling, and volunteer efforts like Americorps, CityYear, and Global Citizen Year. There is a full intent for the student to start college a year (or semester) after graduating from high school. It is NOT working a standard job in the community, playing video games, “hanging out,” or living with parents. Is working in my community for a year considered a gap year? Usually not. Taking a year break between high school and college to work a job that does not require a college degree is called “delayed enrollment” and it usually derails a student’s educational pursuits. How might a year off impact me? There are countless stories of students who intended to go to college after a “year off,” and never did, or took many years off. Working a minimum wage job while living with parents is not a different enough experience to add to your personal growth. Like many in this situation, you could end up in a low-wage unskilled job and get stuck in an earning-money and paying bills cycle. However, a true gap-year program (like CityYear, Americorps, or Global Citizen Year) could add tremendous experiences and skills that will help you better know yourself and learn what you’d like to do (or not do) with your life.

    An Informational Newsletter for Londonderry High School Parents from the Guidance & Counseling Department August 2016 With summer coming to a close and school beginning, we have been busy gearing up for the new school year. Last year you heard the terms Perseverance, Ownership and Practice or POP! This is important to keep in mind as we work with your child as learners (notice not students). A learner is a person who is trying to gain knowledge or skill in something by studying, practicing or being taught. A student is a person who attends a school, college or university. We want your child to be an active learner. Facing challenges in the safe envi- ronment of the high school, gaining knowledge by lots of Perseverance, Ownership and Practice. We want them to POP! At our district retreat, I was reminded of a story about an elder Cherokee and his grandson. One evening the elder Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside all peo- ple. He said, “My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us. One is Fear. It carries anxiety, concern, uncertainty, hesitancy, indecision and inaction. The other is Faith. It brings calm, conviction, excitement and action.” The grandson thought about it for a mo- ment and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf wins?” The old grandfather replied, “The one you feed.” Let’s remember as we start the 2016-2017 school year to feed the wolf of Faith and let the wolf of Fear starve. Here’s to a successful year. Maureen O’Dea Director of School Counseling COUNSELOR ASSIGNMENTS MAIN NUMBER: 603.432.6941

  • A Study of the Rap Music Industry in Bogota, Colombia by Laura
    The Art of the Hustle: A Study of the Rap Music Industry in Bogota, Colombia by Laura L. Bunting-Hudson Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2017 © 2017 Laura L. Bunting-Hudson All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT The Art of the Hustle: A Study of the Rap Music Industry in Bogota, Colombia Laura L. Bunting-Hudson How do rap artists in Bogota, Colombia come together to make music? What is the process they take to commodify their culture? Why are some rappers able to become socially mobile in this process, while others are less so? What is technology’s role in all of this? This ethnography explores those questions, as it carefully documents the strategies utilized by various rap groups in Bogota, Colombia to create social mobility, commoditize products and to create a different vision of modernity within the hip-hop community, as an alternative to the ideals set forth by mainstream Colombian society. Resistance Art Poetry (RAP), is said to have originated in the United States but has become a form of international music. In conducting ethnographic research from December of 2012 to October 2014, I was able to discover how rappers organize themselves politically, how they commoditize their products and distribute them to create various types of social mobilities. In this dissertation, I constructed models to typologize rap groups in Bogota, Colombia, which I call polities of rappers to discuss how these groups come together, take shape, make plans and execute them to reach their business goals.

  • Online and Overexposed: Consumer Privacy, the FTC, and the Rise Of
    Online and Overexposed: Consumer Privacy, the FTC, and the Rise of the Cyberazzi Remarks of FTC Chairman Jon Leibowitz as Prepared for Delivery National Press Club, Washington, D.C. October 11, 2011 Thank you Jeff, and let me also extend my thanks to the many other organizers of this event. I’m happy to be here. Jeff will be announcing a new study today, which we haven’t yet seen, but I am certain it will move us toward the goal we all share – and it seems to me that goal is shared by many businesses – protecting consumer privacy while ensuring a cyberspace that generates the free content we’ve all come to expect and enjoy. Based on reading we have been doing over the last couple of weeks, most of it picked up while waiting in line at the grocery store, we have concluded: Kirstie Alley could have had gastric bypass surgery, and Kim Kardashian almost definitely had a butt lift. Blake Lively and Leo diCaprio’s short-lived relationship seems faker than – well, Kim Kardashian’s rear end. And it doesn’t look good for Ashton and Demi; she been nowhere near the set of Two and a Half Men. Thank goodness for the paparazzi. And really, who cares that, of the 1000 words each of their pictures is worth, at best only about 500 are true? Public figures choose to make their livings monetizing their identities; in a free market, it is hardly surprising that photographers and gossip rags want to get in on the action. It would be a different story, of course, if the paparazzi turned their lenses on those of us who don’t have jobs treading the red carpet – if they snapped photos of us in what we thought were our private moments and then sold them without our permission, the resulting montage a detailed and perhaps damaging portrait of our selves.

Tenser 2015 STEPPING OFF THE CONVEYOR BELT: GAP YEAR EFFECTS ON THE FIRST-YEAR COLLEGE EXPERIENCE by Lori I. Tenser Karen Arnold, Dissertation Chair ABSTRACT Taking a gap year between high school and college has become more common in the United States in recent years, yet little research attempts to describe or analyze the experience of the students who arrive on college campuses after such a year out. This qualitative study followed 12 first-year students attending highly-selective private institutions in the northeastern U.S. as they experienced the transitions from high school to gap year to college. With varying levels of family support and high levels of personal motivation, the students participated in a wide range of gap-year endeavors. The findings indicate that students were heavily influenced by their encounters during the gap year, leading to strong evidence of self-authorship among the participants, which in turn shaped the way students pursued their goals when they arrived at college.

STEINLE SPRING 2020 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for baccalaureate degrees in Communication Arts and Sciences and Labor and Employment Relations with honors in Communication Arts and Sciences Reviewed and approved* by the following: Bradford Vivian Professor of Communication Arts & Sciences Thesis Supervisor Lori Bedell Associate Teaching Professor in Communication Arts & Sciences Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT This paper examines the merits of intrinsic and extrinsic critical approaches to hip-hop artifacts. To do so, I provide both a neo-Aristotelian and biographical criticism of three songs from ye (2018) by Kanye West. Chapters 1 & 2 consider Roland Barthes’ The Death of the Author and other landmark papers in rhetorical and literary theory to develop an intrinsic and extrinsic approach to criticizing ye (2018), evident in Tables 1 & 2. Chapter 3 provides the biographical antecedents of West’s life prior to the release of ye (2018). Chapters 4, 5, & 6 supply intrinsic (neo-Aristotelian) and extrinsic (biographical) critiques of the selected artifacts. Each of these chapters aims to address the concerns of one of three guiding questions: which critical approaches prove most useful to the hip-hop consumer listening to this song? How can and should the listener construct meaning? Are there any improper ways to critique and interpret this song? Chapter 7 discusses the variance in each mode of critical analysis from Chapters 4, 5, & 6.
