Knutsford Express Rolls Into Port Antonio 2 HOSPITALITY JAMAICA | WEDNESDAY, MAY 20, 2015 ADVERTISEMENT Knutsford Express rolls into Port Antonio Janet Silvera Hospitality Jamaica Coordinator NUTSFORD EXPRESS, the pioneering transportation Kfirm which has changed the face of local transport, has expanded its service to the forgotten tourist resort of Portland. Knutsford now boasts an island- wide network with new service along Jamaica’s north-east coast, from Ocho Rios to Port Antonio. The aim, Knutsford Express chief executive officer, Oliver Townsend said, is to put in 20,000 seats, giving properties that are struggling to get their guests there much-needed, reliable transportation, “particularly from Negril and Montego Bay”. Statistics from the Jamaica Tourist Board (JTB) shows a record of approximately 20,000 tourists visiting Port Antonio in 2014. “We are delighted after much effort to finally serve the parish of Portland,” said an excited Townsend during an interview with Hospitality Jamaica.

  • Going Political – Multimodal Metaphor Framings on a Cover of the Sports Newspaper a Bola
    Going political – multimodal metaphor framings on a cover of the sports newspaper A Bola Maria Clotilde Almeida*1 Abstract This paper analyses a political-oriented multimodal metaphor on a cover of the sports newspaper A Bola, sequencing another study on multimodal metaphors deployed on the covers of the very same sports newspaper pertaining to the 2014 Football World Cup in Brazil (ALMEIDA/SOUsa, 2015) in the light of Forceville (2009, 2012). The fact that European politics is mapped onto football in multimodal metaphors on this sports newspaper cover draws on the interplay of conceptual metaphors, respectively in the visual mode and in the written mode. Furthermore, there is a relevant time-bound leitmotif which motivates the mapping of politics onto football in the sports newspaper A Bola, namely the upcoming football match between Portugal and Germany. In the multimodal framing of the story line under analysis. The visual mode apparently assumes preponderance, since a picture of Angela Merkel, a prominent leader of EU, is clearly overshadowed by a large picture of Cristiano Ronaldo, the captain of the Portuguese National Football team. However, the visual modality of Cristiano Ronaldo’s dominance over Angela Merkel is intertwined with the powerful metaphorical headline “Vamos expulsar a Alemanha do Euro” (“Let’s kick Germany out of the European Championship”), intended to boost the courage of the Portuguese national football team: “Go Portugal – you can win this time!”. Thus, differently from multimodal metaphors on other covers of the same newspaper, the visual modality in this case cannot be considered the dominant factor in multimodal meaning creation in this politically-oriented layout.

  • The Lord's Table
    THIS DO Practical Essays on the Lord’s Supper H. Van Dyke Parunak Copyright 1985, 1993, All Rights Reserved Preface Before his death, the Lord Jesus asked his people to remember him in a simple meal of bread and a cup. Almost every group that calls itself Christian observes some ceremony in fulfillment of this request. Yet these ceremonies often differ widely from the Lord’s Supper as the New Testament portrays it.These essays are for believers who would like to recover the practice of the first century church. Chapter 1 provides a basic description of the significance of the Lord’s Supper. The other essays focus on two basic practical principles about the Supper that modern Christians have mostly lost. • Chapters 2, 3, and 4 discuss the participants at the Supper: those who share in the Supper should know one another to be believers. • Chapters 5, 6, and 7 discuss the program at the Supper: more than one brother should lead the worship of the group. There is a third important guideline, concerning the frequency of the Supper. Believers in the first century meet weekly (Acts 20:7) or even daily (Acts 2:46) to remember the Lord. There is no biblical precedent for the longer periods of a month, three months, or even a year that some groups wait between observances of the Supper. It seems superfluous to devote separate chapters to this guideline, though. The practice of the early church seems clear, and there are no practical difficulties in the path of those who would like to follow this aspect of the New Testament pattern.

In the autograph works are included all paintings which on documentary or stylistic evidence appear to be by, or partly by, the hand of Caravaggio. The attributed works include all paintings that have been associated with Caravaggio’s name in critical writings but which, in the opinion of the present writer, cannot be fully accepted as his, and those of uncertain attribution which he has not been able to examine personally. Some works listed here as copies are regarded as autograph by other authorities. Lost works, whose catalogue numbers are preceded by “L,” are paintings whose current whereabouts are unknown which are ascribed to Caravaggio in seventeenth-century documents, inventories, and in other sources. The catalogue of lost works describes a wide variety of material, including paintings considered copies of lost originals. Entries for untraced paintings include the city where they were identified in either a seventeenth-century source or inventory (“Inv.”). Most of the inventories have been published in the Getty Provenance Index, Los Angeles. Provenance, documents and sources, inventories and selective bibliographies are provided for the paintings by, after, and attributed to Caravaggio.

It is a family collection, formed by a father and son: Baron Anselm von Rothschild (1803–1874) of Frankfurt and Vienna, and Baron Ferdinand, who became a British citizen in 1860, and a Trustee of the British Museum in 1896. Named after Baron Ferdinand’s Renaissance-style château, Waddesdon Manor in Buckinghamshire, the Bequest is a 19th-century recreation of a princely Kunstkammer or ‘art chamber’ of the Renaissance. The collection demonstrates how, within two generations, the Rothschilds expanded from Frankfurt to become Europe’s leading banking dynasty.

Scripture References: Mark 14 Synopsis: The origin and symbolism of the elements used in Communion are explained and explored in Readers Theatre style. Music for the Great Hallel is included for an optional arrangement of the hymn the Jesus and disciples may have sung at the conclusion of the Last Supper. The hymn has a distinctive Jewish sound and may be sung acappella in Gregorian chant style. Production Notes: Staging: Reader ONE stands S.R., a little removed from others. TWO and THREE stand C.S., FOUR and FIVE are S.L. Wireless lapels are preferable if amplification is necessary, although individual Microphone stands may also be used. Optional score for the “Great Hallel” in Gregorian Chant form is included at the end of script. The Hymn may be spoken or sung, depending on the abilities of the cast. The use of * indicates that the Reader should assume a different character, either through some sort of accent, or mannerism.

  • There Is a History of the World and Then There Is David Lachapelle's
    Philip Bonneau PHOTO 501 JALBERT There is a history of the world and then there is David LaChapelle’s interpretation of it . Eminem: About to Blow, 1999 American Jesus: Archangel Michael Jackson, 2009 His works are often cited as hyper-real and slyly subversive. 1 He is known as a photographer and a director. As an artist and a photographer, but don’t ask him to differentiate between the two titles. They go hand in hand and he allows history to decide. 2 Cameron Diaz: Dollhouse Disaster, Home Invasion, 1997 Tupac Shakur for Details Magazine, April 1, 1996 “LaChapelle is without a doubt one of today’s most respected artists, whose style can be compared to no one. He has evolved his photography into an idiosyncratic and highly personal combination of reportage and surrealism.”3 Kayne West: Riot, 2006 Kayne West: The Cross I Bear, 2006 His work is considered “The highly polished, saturated and intricately composed photographs possess the surreal wildness of fever dreams, concocted as they are out of the imagery of celebrity, eroticism and modern Americana, and spiked with religious allegory and forebodings of doom.”5 He has been dubbed “The Fellini of Photography”. A title in honor of one of Italy’s most famous movie directors who “developed his own distinctive methods that superimposed dreamlike or hallucinatory imagery upon ordinary situations.”8 Helga LaChapelle, David LaChapelle He first began photography as a child where his mother often staged portraits for him to photograph with dogs that were not theirs and at homes they didn’t own.

  • You Shall Know I AM – the Passover (The First Supper)
    You Shall Know I AM: The Passover (The First Supper) (Exodus 11:1-13:16) Preached by Pastor Jason Tarn at HCC on October 14, 2018 Introduction ❖ When I conduct premarital counseling, one of the questions I like to ask during the session on parents and in-laws is for the couple to describe the first time they visited their future in- law’s home and shared a family meal. That meal can tell you so much about that family. ‣ We talk about what’s served for dinner because the food itself is a huge transmitter of customs and culture. But I also get them to think about how the conversation is carried. What do you talk about? Who does most of the talking? Are there any traditions like waiting for everyone to sit down and starting with a prayer (maybe even holding hands as you pray)? Are there any policies like no phones at the table or other distractions like a television playing? And how frequent are these kind of meals where everyone in the family is sitting down sharing it together? ❖ And in addition to family meals, I try to hone in on any ritual meals that are valued by the family. I'm talking about meals that are carry lots of meaning and tradition and are repeated and preserved by the family. Meals to celebrate a birthday or meals associated with a cherished holiday like Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Years. These ritual meals are an important means of keeping family members connected by a shared tradition and making sure that tradition is passed down from generation to generation.
