As someone who has — Walter Hutchens, University Endowed Chair lived in five countries and nine states, I deeply appreciate the richness that for Global Business an international perspective provides. I also understand some of its challenges—and the sense of mastery that can result after rising to meet them. Some of my favorite memories are from a five-month stay in Mexico during a gap year between college and graduate school. As President Ralph Kuncl points out, some of your most basic assumptions are challenged by international travel. Suddenly, the U.S. looked stodgy and safety-obsessed next to the fatalistic attitude toward driving on marginal GIULIA MARCHI/AP IMAGES roads, swimming in powerful rip tides, and operating ungrounded appliances (I survived a few shocks by a “live” washing machine in my host family’s home). The conveniences of the U.S. were underlined by cold showers every morning and the necessity to share my seat on the bus with the occasional chicken. 14 32 Yet who knew that laughter and conversation with people you just met could be so fulfilling?

Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Inger S. B. Brodey Todd Ramón Ochoa Marsha S. Collins Tanya L. Shields Madeline G. Levine © 2016 Donato Fhunsu ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Donato Fhunsu: The Kongo Rule: The Palo Monte Mayombe Wisdom Society (Reglas de Congo: Palo Monte Mayombe) A Book by Lydia Cabrera An English Translation from the Spanish (Under the direction of Inger S. B. Brodey and Todd Ramón Ochoa) This dissertation is a critical analysis and annotated translation, from Spanish into English, of the book Reglas de Congo: Palo Monte Mayombe, by the Cuban anthropologist, artist, and writer Lydia Cabrera (1899-1991). Cabrera’s text is a hybrid ethnographic book of religion, slave narratives (oral history), and folklore (songs, poetry) that she devoted to a group of Afro-Cubans known as “los Congos de Cuba,” descendants of the Africans who were brought to the Caribbean island of Cuba during the trans-Atlantic Ocean African slave trade from the former Kongo Kingdom, which occupied the present-day southwestern part of Congo-Kinshasa, Congo-Brazzaville, Cabinda, and northern Angola. The Kongo Kingdom had formal contact with Christianity through the Kingdom of Portugal as early as the 1490s.

Yet, since its birth in the mid 1900s, Brother Roger at a prayer in Taizé.

  • Twenty Or So Years Ago, I Had the Great Privilege of Being at a Mass in St Peter’S Rome Celebrated by Pope St John Paul II
    Twenty or so years ago, I had the great privilege of being at a mass in St Peter’s Rome celebrated by Pope St John Paul II. Also present on that occasion was the Protestant Brother Roger Schutz, the founder and then prior of the ecumenical monastic community of Taizé. Both now well on in years and ailing in different ways, Pope John Paul and Brother Roger had a well known friendship and it was touching to see the Pope personally give communion to his Protestant friend. This year, the Common Worship feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary, known by most Christians as her Assumption, the Dormition or the Falling Asleep, is also the eve of the fifteenth anniversary of Roger’s horrific, and equally public, murder in his own monastic church, within six months of the death of John Paul himself. I want to suggest three themes that were characteristic both of Mary and Brother Roger and also offer us a sure pathway for our own discipleship: joy, simplicity and mercy. I was led to these by an interview on TV many years ago with Br Alois, Brother Roger’s successor as prior of Taizé, who described how they were at the heart of Brother Roger’s approach to life and guidance of his community. He had written them into the Rule of Taizé, and saw them as a kind of summary of the Beatitudes: [3] "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. [4] "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

  • Audrina Patridge Says Cameras Are Off and Love Life Is On
    Audrina Patridge Says Cameras Are Off and Love Life Is On VH1 decided not to renew Audrina Patridge self-titled reality show for a second season, but Patridge couldn’t be happier as the cancellation may just be what she needed to repair her on- again, off-again relationship with her boyfriend, BMX rider Corey Bohan. “Filming a reality show really takes a toll on relationships because your mindset is to create good TV,” the former “The Hills” star told People. “It’s really really hard on relationships so after the show, Corey [Bohan] and I really worked on what was going on with us. We spent time together.” Audrina’s breakup with Corey may have been good for her show’s finale, but the couple has since rekindled their relationship and got back together in May. How do you keep your job from affecting your relationship? Cupid’s Advice: It’s easy to let your job take over your life. Cupid has some ways to keep it from affecting your relationship: 1. Try to separate work from home: Sure, everyone has their bad days a work, but try not to bring the stress you may receive at work to your home. If your job is consistently stressing you out, it may be time to start filling out applications. 2. Balance: Although you may not have finished everything you needed to do at work before your day ended, try to make sure that you when you’re home, you’re relaxing and not thinking about what you will have to do tomorrow.

    LPSCXXIV 1515 LARGE FLOOR-FRACTURED CRATERS AND ISOSTATIC CRATER MODIFICATION: IMPLICATIONS FOR LITHOSPHERIC THICKNESS ON VENUS. R.W. Wichman, Dept. of Space Studies, Univ. of North Dakota, Grand Forks, ND 58202-7306 and P.H. Schultz, Dept. of Geological Sciences, Brown Univ., Providence RI 02912 Introduction: Several of the largest craters on Venus, including Mead, Meitner and Isabella, exhibit well-developed floor fracture patterns combining a central set of radial features with a peripheral set of concentric fractures. This pattern strongly resembles the fracture patterns observed in the largest floor- fractured craters on the Moon (eg. Humboldt, Gauss, Petavius). Although most lunar floor-fractured craters apparently reflect crater modification by igneous intrusions and volcanism [I,2,3], we propose that the fractures in these larger craters represent domical flexure events in response to post-impact isostatic uplift. Since the extent of uplift and surface failure in this model depends on both the size of the basin cavity and the local lithospheric thickness, this interpretation also provides a means for constraining lithospheric thicknesses on Venus. Based on the apparent onset diameter of isostatic crater modification, we derive lithospheric thickness estimates for the Moon of -80-100 km, and for Venus of -50-70 km. Large Floor-fractured Craters: As noted in a companion abstract [4], ten craters on Venus show patterns of concentric or polygonal fractures resembling failure patterns observed in lunar floor-fractured craters. These craters are comparable in size (-20-90 km) to most of the lunar examples, and three craters in particular contain well-defined, moat-like structures around a scarp-bounded central floor plate identical to features observed in the most extensively modified craters on the Moon [5].
