I dreamed my Father called me home The blinding tear ran down my face across the great divide, I turned to Him once more. I was very much bewildered, Please blessed Savior send me back I thought surely I had died. I'll make another try; Saint Peter met me at the gate, HI do the work for all my kin, He said; "Come follow me, iTm not prepared to die. there is something I must show to you I will not miss a single one something you must see. " I'm so ashamed Dear Lord. Then I saw rows of people, I'll try to do each ordinance standing in a line according to Thy word. When I looked them over, Then I awoke, the dream was gone they were relatives of mine. I had not passed away, HOW LONG IS LIFE? Some among that massive crowd, but I made a resolution I could remember well, to start that very day. Suppose you live to be seventy. How long is it? How many some had lived long years before Baptisms, Endowments and Sealings years of that span will really count? Allow for eight hours I came to earth to dwell.

Parkin, Bair substitutes. Boiled potatoes with wheat often took the place of bread; and much time was spent in look ing for sego lilies and other edible wild plants. Some Saints were poisoned and died from eating water parsnip. Such plants as thistles, watercress, and pigweed were also used. John R. Young tells us that he used to eat thistle stalks while herding cattle. Later he writes: President Brigham Young said: Sisters, if you do not know how to milk a cow, you can soon learn. If you do not know how to feed the chickens, get them and learn how, and . let the husband plant fruit trees and shade trees, and let wives help their husbands that they may be encouraged. / THESE PIONEERS Despite their many hardships, the Pioneers made few complaints.

The AA (acceptor, acceptor) hydrogen-bonding pattern present in the salt forms a complex readily with a DD (donor, donor) hydrogen-bonding pattern of the substituted ureas even in polar and competitive environment. The double carbon–carbon bond in the acrylic acid derivative is subjected to photoisomerization. This is dependent on the association with substituted urea derivatives.

  • NOSTALGIA, EMOTIONALITY, and ETHNO-REGIONALISM in PONTIC PARAKATHI SINGING by IOANNIS TSEKOURAS DISSERTATION Submitted in Parti
    NOSTALGIA, EMOTIONALITY, AND ETHNO-REGIONALISM IN PONTIC PARAKATHI SINGING BY IOANNIS TSEKOURAS DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Musicology in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2016 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Donna A. Buchanan, Chair Professor Emeritus Thomas Turino Professor Gabriel Solis Professor Maria Todorova ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the multilayered connections between music, emotionality, social and cultural belonging, collective memory, and identity discourse. The ethnographic case study for the examination of all these relations and aspects is the Pontic muhabeti or parakathi. Parakathi refers to a practice of socialization and music making that is designated insider Pontic Greek. It concerns primarily Pontic Greeks or Pontians, the descendants of the 1922 refugees from Black Sea Turkey (Gr. Pontos), and their identity discourse of ethno-regionalism. Parakathi references nightlong sessions of friendly socialization, social drinking, and dialogical participatory singing that take place informally in coffee houses, taverns, and households. Parakathi performances are reputed for their strong Pontic aesthetics, traditional character, rich and aesthetically refined repertoire, and intense emotionality. Singing in parakathi performances emerges spontaneously from verbal socialization and emotional saturation. Singing is described as a confessional expression of deeply personal feelings

  • Degree Congregations December 2010 the Inauguration of the University of Manchester
    The University of Manchester Degree Congregations December 2010 The Inauguration of The University of Manchester At midnight on 30 September 2004, UMIST and the Victoria University of Manchester were dissolved and the single institution of The University of Manchester came into existence. The formal Inauguration of the University took place on Friday, 22 October 2004 when Her Majesty The Queen visited the campus to personally present the University’s new Royal Charter to Co-Chancellor Anna Ford at a special ceremony held in the Whitworth Hall. The new institution has a distinguished heritage. It can trace its roots back to the formation of the Manchester Mechanics Institute in 1824, which later became UMIST. The Victoria University of Manchester was founded as Owens College in 1851 and became England’s first civic university in 1880. The two universities first began working together almost 100 years ago. They were situated on neighbouring campuses and this enabled them to develop a number of joint courses, departments and services. They took the decision to merge in 2003. The creation of The University of Manchester has been hailed as one of the boldest and most ambitious initiatives in higher education. This pioneering spirit carries on today, with the aim to become one of the world’s top 25 universities by 2015 backed by an ongoing £650 million investment programme in staff and facilities – the largest such investment programme in British higher education. From the President and Vice-Chancellor It is with immense pleasure that one of my first duties as the new President and Vice-Chancellor of our great University is to welcome you all – graduands, family members and friends – to The University of Manchester for this degree congregation.
