  • Marian Consecration and Giving Us a 33-Day Plan to Prepare Our Souls for That Big Step
    33-Day Preparation for Total Consecration to Jesus Through Mary Following the itinerary of Saint Louis Marie Grignon de Montfort with selections of writings from the Popes and Saints 1 Introduction Saint Louis de Montfort set forth a revolution of spirituality in teaching us about Marian consecration and giving us a 33-day plan to prepare our souls for that big step. What is this consecration? He described this consecration as being a form of “slavery” to Mary. Slavery means that we do nothing without her. We choose not to have a will apart from hers. He even invites us to wear a chain to signify that close bond with her. He elaborated the various consequences of that bond, saying that we share everything with her including our prayers, our intentions, our actions, and our merits. Fundamentally he is saying that we choose to become totally dependent on her: we receive everything through her and share everything with her. At first this sounds radical and may even sound a little scary or seem like a lot of work. As we come to understand the way the spirit of the world has infected our thinking, however, and as we get in touch with our own woundedness, we come to discover that this is a merciful gift from heaven. It is a sweet path of salvation. In fact, it is better than we could have ever hoped for! What it means is that there is a sweet, loving, perfect mother who actually wants to live in this kind of close relationship with us.

  • The Christian's Work and Rest
    THE CHRISTIAN'S WORK AND REST. A SERMON rBEACHEU IN THE MAY 20th, 1866, ON THB OCCASION OF THE DEATH OF WARREN ROCKWELL. By Rev. J. E.^OCKT^ELL, D. 33. PUBLISHED BY REQUEST, THE UNION STEAM PRESSES, 10 FRONT STREET. 1866. ~ §- p^' l?^"'- ^U^7^ ^tli a hEC. SEP ibbO It. SERMON. will Acts 13 : 36. —For David, after he had served his own generation, by the of God fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers. These words, uttered by the Apostle in the course of an argument concerning the resurrection of Christ, con- tain the epitome of a Christian's life, fidelity to God, use- fulness to the age in which he lives, and a serene and hopeful death. No higher eulogy could have been pro- nounced upon David than this,—he served his own gener- ation by the will of God. Here was his crowning ex. cellence and glory ; not that he was descended from a long line of illustrious ancestors, or was the possessor of untold wealth, or the occupant of a throne, but that he fulfilled the duties of life cheerfully and faithfully, in obedience to the will of God. This was the great secret in his life, and in thus obey- ing the dictates of his better and renewed nature, he as cheerfully did his duty while feeding his father's flocks, as when called to rule over the kingdom of Israel. As the Shepherd boy of Bethlehem he was as faithful and unrepining at his obscure condition, as when he was hearing, after his triumph over the giant leader of the Philistines, the songs of the maidens of Israel.

Meinardus: Mediatrix between Christians and Muslims THE VIRGIN MARY AS MEDIATRIX BETWEEN CHRISTIANS AND MUSLIMS IN THE MIDDLE EAST Otto E A. Meinardus, Ph.D.* In spite of deep-seated christological and soteriological dif­ ferences between Orthodox Christianity and Islam, there are some areas in which Christian and Muslim prayer converge which could be the basis of dialogue. In the popular piety of the Egyptians, the Virgin Mary, mother ofJesus, can play the role of mediatrix between Muslims and Christians. The subject is di­ verse and voluminous, so I will limit myself to a few aspects of the theme.Because of my long stay in the Middle East, especially in Egypt, I can describe some of the ways in which a devotion to the Virgin Mary brings together Christians and Muslims. The profound and deep esteem of the Orthodox Christians in the East for the Virgin Mary is well known.Their devotion to her as the Theotokos constitutes an integral part of their litur­ gical life and popular piety.

    Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres by Vivian Le A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2020 Commencement June 2020 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Vivian Le for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems presented on May 29, 2020. Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time.

  • Total Consecration to Jesus Through Mary
    Saint Louis-Marie de Montfort’s Total Consecration to Jesus Through Mary Choose a day for the Consecration To begin, choose the date of a Marian Feast on which to make the consecration. Whichever Feast you choose will determine the date to begin a 33-day period of spiritual preparation, i.e., you follow spiritual exercises for 33 days, and the next day will be the Marian Feast on which you consecrate yourself. Below is a list of Marian Feasts which are the same on both the traditional and Novus Ordo calendars: Feast / Start of Marian Feast You've Chosen Consecration 33-day Plan Day Apparition of the Immaculate 9 Jan 11 Feb Virgin Mary at Lourdes 20 Feb 1 The Annunciation 25 Mar 13 Jun Our Lady of Mt. Carmel 16 Jul 13 Jul The Assumption 15 Aug 6 Aug Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary 8 Sep 13 Aug Our Lady of Sorrows 15 Sep 19 Oct Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary 21 Nov 5 Nov Immaculate Conception 8 Dec 9 Nov Our Lady of Guadalupe 12 Dec 1 21 Feb when February has 29 days. The Feast of the Annunciation is the Feast that St. Louis de Montfort recommends most of all as it is this Feast that commemorates God Himself taking on flesh and, thereby, subjecting even Himself to trust in and dependency on Our Lady Recommendation: To read St. Louis de Montfort’s True Devotion to Mary either before beginning the Consecration or in conjunction with it. Begin the 33-Day Preparation for Consecration Now begins the 33-day period of exercises.

  • Issue 496 Spotify: a Massive AMT? Streaming Services’ Impact, Or Lack Thereof, in Paying Rights Holders Remains a Thorny Topic Across All Levels of the Business
    April 25, 2016, Issue 496 Spotify: A Massive AMT? Streaming services’ impact, or lack thereof, in paying rights holders remains a thorny topic across all levels of the business. Just ask Taylor Swift, whose music is still not available on Spotify. However, a growing number of artists are celebrating and celebrated by that company’s ability to positively impact careers. From Sam Hunt to Maren Morris and beyond, Spotify’s growing music listening ecosystem offers unique fan connections and perhaps unprecedented information about listening behavior. Taken together, those factors are making a difference in the music business and, to a lesser degree, at radio. “These are people who are active listeners – a captive audience we’ve never had before that allows us to do research we’ve never Kenny Watchers: Blue Chair/Columbia’s Kenny been able to do,” says artist manager Greg Chesney hangs with radio friends at Saturday’s Hill. “We could never have afforded research (4/23) launch of the Spread The Love Tour in Auburn, AL. on a sample size as large as what the streaming services are giving us.” The first time Hill felt Spotify’s influence was Greg Hill with Jana Kramer and “I Got The Boy.” “We’re Kenny Lays Out Big Spread in a battle [at radio] with a female artist and Blue Chair/Columbia’s Kenny Chesney and 50,000 fans saw it pop up on Spotify’s Viral 50,” he says. launched his Spread the Love Tour Saturday (4/23) in Alabama at “Last June was touch-and-go [on the singles charts], but on Spotify Auburn University’s Jordan-Hare Stadium.
