What kinds of identities-in-practice do Belly Dancers in England construct in order to authenticate their performance? By applying social theories of education and identity formation, in particular Holland et al’s “figured worlds” (2001), it is possible to critically frame the development of a practitioner’s Belly Dance identity over a period of time.

Traditional Latin Mass (TLM), Otherwise Known As the Extraordinary Form, Can Seem Confusing, Uncomfortable, and Even Off-Putting to Some
For many who have grown up in the years following the liturgical changes that followed the Second Vatican Council, the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM), otherwise known as the Extraordinary Form, can seem confusing, uncomfortable, and even off-putting to some. What I hope to do in a series of short columns in the bulletin is to explain the mass, step by step, so that if nothing else, our knowledge of the other half of the Roman Rite of which we are all a part, will increase. Also, it must be stated clearly that I, in no way, place the Extraordinary Form above the Ordinary or vice versa. Both forms of the Roman Rite are valid, beautiful celebrations of the liturgy and as such deserve the support and understanding of all who practice the Roman Rite of the Catholic Church. Before I begin with the actual parts of the mass, there are a few overarching details to cover. The reason the priest faces the same direction as the people when offering the mass is because he is offering the sacrifice on behalf of the congregation. He, as the shepherd, standing in persona Christi (in the person of Christ) leads the congregation towards God and towards heaven. Also, it’s important to note that a vast majority of what is said by the priest is directed towards God, not towards us. When the priest does address us, he turns around to face us. Another thing to point out is that the responses are always done by the server. If there is no server, the priest will say the responses himself.

Human Hand Anatomy-Based Prosthetic Hand
sensors Communication Human Hand Anatomy-Based Prosthetic Hand Larisa Dunai 1,* , Martin Novak 2 and Carmen García Espert 3 1 Centro de Investigación en Tecnologías Gráficas, Universitat Politècnica de València, camino de Vera s/n, 46022 Valencia, Spain 2 Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague, Technická 4, Praha 6, 166 00 Prague, Czech Republic; [email protected] 3 Hospital La Fe, Avinguda de Fernando Abril Martorell, 106, 46026 Valencia, Spain; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +34-689-215-528 Abstract: The present paper describes the development of a prosthetic hand based on human hand anatomy. The hand phalanges are printed with 3D printing with Polylactic Acid material. One of the main contributions is the investigation on the prosthetic hand joins; the proposed design enables one to create personalized joins that provide the prosthetic hand a high level of movement by increasing the degrees of freedom of the fingers. Moreover, the driven wire tendons show a progressive grasping movement, being the friction of the tendons with the phalanges very low. Another important point is the use of force sensitive resistors (FSR) for simulating the hand touch pressure. These are used for the grasping stop simulating touch pressure of the fingers. Surface Electromyogram (EMG) sensors allow the user to control the prosthetic hand-grasping start. Their use may provide the prosthetic hand the possibility of the classification of the hand movements. The practical results included in the paper prove the importance of the soft joins for the object manipulation and to get adapted to the object surface.

Learning to Facilitate Productive Mathematical Discussion
Learning to Facilitate Productive Mathematical Discussion: Teacher candidate participation in a practice-based elementary mathematics methods course Elizabeth Sugino David A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2020 Reading Committee: Elham Kazemi, Chair Kenneth Zeichner Allison Hintz Program Authorized to Offer Degree: College of Education © Copyright 2020 Elizabeth Sugino David University of Washington Abstract Learning to Facilitate Productive Mathematical Discussion: Teacher candidate participation in a practice-based elementary mathematics methods course Elizabeth Sugino David Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Dr. Elham Kazemi College of Education A prevailing challenge in teacher education is the “problem of enactment,” a discrepancy in what teacher candidates (TCs) know or say about practice and what they can actually do or enact (Kennedy, 1999). Current practice-based teacher education research focuses on articulating pedagogies of practice and core practices to integrate theory and practice, attend to the sociocultural nature of TC learning, and support TCs to enact practices (Grossman, Compton, et al., 2009; Grossman et al., 2019; McDonald et al., 2013). While there is research on practice-based learning cycles, core practices, and pedagogies of practice, there is limited research documenting how TCs participate in these types of contexts and how they enact core practices. Purpose and Research Question. The purpose of this study was to understand TC participation: How does TC participation manifest and change in their practice-based mathematics methods course? I sought to characterize TCs’ participation around the practice of facilitating a productive mathematical discussion. Data and Methodology. Relevant data sources for this study included videotaped observations of TCs’ participation in the course, TC assessments and lesson plans, and field notes.

On the Matter of Violence in Postmodern American Literature
Brutal Narratives, Savage Figures: On the Matter of Violence in Postmodern American Literature and Literary Criticism Inaugural-Dissertation zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades eines Doktors der Philosophie (Dr. phil.) der Philosophischen Fakultät der Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf Vorgelegt von Martin Wallerius aus Düsseldorf Düsseldorf, April 2009 — D61 — Tag der mündlichen Prüfung 13.7.2009 Gutachter der Dissertation Prof. Dr. Herwig Friedl Prof. Dr. Therese Seidel PREFACE In the introductory chapter of his monumental The Structure of Evolution ary Theory, Stephen Jay Gould ponders Darwin’s famous statement from the concluding chapter of his On the Origin of Species that “this whole volume is one long argument” without explicitly stating for what. From many possible answers, Gould prefers to regard Darwin’s “long argument” as an attempt to establish a specific methodological and theoretical approach (Darwin 459; Gould 12). In the process of sketching the scope and boundaries of this thesis, the question of the curious “long argument” became part of the general design. Besides the inquiry into the topic of violence in postmodern litera ture and literary criticism as such, this thesis tries to make a point for a methodological and theoretical approach that is postmodern and thematic at the same time, and that draws equally from literary and critical texts that belong to the same period: an approach intended to make elements, struc tures, and processes visible that connect literary texts of a given period with that period’s critical discourse, and to show how these shared charac teristics relate to their own rhetorical modes and to their reception in the public discourse.

Essential Things to Know About Gestures and Body Language
c01.qxp 7/16/07 9:21 AM Page 7 1 Essential Things to Know about Gestures and Body Language Sixty percent of our daily communication is nonverbal. —Edward T. Hall Are simple hand gestures and body movements important? Here are some answers: It’s inaugural day in the United States, 2005. Presi- dent George W. Bush is in the reviewing stand on Washington, D.C.’s Pennsylvania Avenue as the UniversityCOPYRIGHTED of Texas marching band MATERIAL passes by. He raises his hand to salute his alma mater with the time-honored “hook ’em horns” sign—fist raised upright, index finger and pinkie sticking up, the sign of the horns of a Texas longhorn steer, the mascot and symbol of the University of Texas. Bush’s picture appears on TV screens around the globe . and many people in countries around the world are immediately insulted! 7 c01.qxp 7/16/07 9:21 AM Page 8 8 ESSENTIAL DO’S AND TABOOS That very same gesture—fist upraised, index and little fingers extended upward—is considered rude in certain other countries. • In Italy, it means “Your wife is cheating on you!” “You are being cuckolded.” • In some parts of Africa, you are issuing a curse. • In Norway, the Internet newspaper Nettavisen expressed outrage that not only Bush, but his wife and two daughters, would issue such an insult. • Yet the gesture can also have positive meanings. In the Mediterranean Sea, fishing boats may have this symbol painted on their bows to ward off evil, and in Brazil, women often wear gold or silver lockets with this sign as a good luck amulet.

Altar Server Training Manual and Is Expected to Attend Each Weekend Mass Associated with the Altar Server Team to Which They Are Assigned
Altar Server Training Manual Called to Serve Version 1.0 June 2013 1 All Saints Catholic Church 2443 Mt. Vernon Road Dunwoody, Georgia 30350 Dear Altar Server, Our parish is deeply grateful for your decision to be an altar server. Your service and dedication are important parts of our parish life. It is an extreme privilege to kneel so close to the altar as our loving Savior, Jesus Christ, becomes truly present, body, blood, soul and divinity, just as He was at the Last Supper and Calvary, and therefore servers are chosen from those who display a desire for a more intimate union with Our Lord and God, Jesus Christ. Saint Thomas said, "The celebration of the Holy Mass is as valuable as the death of Jesus on the Cross." The primary duty of an Altar Server is to assist the priest, as a representative of the people of the parish, in a visible manner, as the mystery of Calvary unfolds on the Altar. What an honor to serve our Lord at this most praiseworthy gift of love. The place of the altar server in liturgical celebrations remains one of prominence and distinction. All actions of the server are woven from signs and symbols whose meaning is rooted in the works of creation and in human culture, specified by events in the Old Testament and fully revealed in the person and work of Jesus Christ. Accordingly, servers have a solemn responsibility to do their assigned duties with dignity and reverence. The purpose for this manual is to give you direction for our parish Masses and to be a guide to help you as you assist the priest at the Altar of God.
