DVT is a condition where blood clots form in the deep vein of the lower legs and thighs. Sitting for long periods of time, either in an airplane or car can lim- it circulation in the legs, leading to a blood clot forming in the vein. The clot can travel unnoticed through the blood stream and lodge in the brain, lungs, heart and other areas causing severe damage to organs, and in some cases, death.

  • Hogmanay Rituals: Scotland’S New Year’S Eve Celebrations
    Accepted Manuscript of a book chapter published by Routledge Suggested citation: Frew, E. & Mair. J. (2014). Hogmanay Rituals: Scotland’s New Year’s Eve Celebrations. In Frost, W. & Laing, J. (Eds) Rituals and traditional events in the modern world. Routledge Hogmanay Rituals: Scotland’s New Year’s Eve Celebrations Elspeth A. Frew La Trobe University Judith Mair Department of Management Monash University ABSTRACT Hogmanay, which is the name given to New Year’s Eve in Scotland, is a long-standing festival with roots going far back into pagan times. However, such festivals are losing their traditions and are becoming almost generic public celebrations devoid of the original rites and rituals that originally made them unique. Using the framework of Falassi’s (1987) festival rites and rituals, this chapter utilises a duoethnographic approach to examine Hogmanay traditions in contemporary Scotland and the extent to which these have been transferred to another country. The chapter reflects on the traditions which have survived and those that have been consigned to history. Hogmanay and Paganism: Scotland’s New Year’s Eve Celebrations INTRODUCTION New Year’s Eve (or Hogmanay as it is known in Scotland) is celebrated in many countries around the world, and often takes the form of a public celebration with fireworks, music and a carnival atmosphere. However, Hogmanay itself is a long-standing festival in Scotland with roots going far back into pagan times. Some of the rites and rituals associated with Hogmanay are centuries old, and the tradition of celebrating New Year Eve (as Hogmanay) on a grander scale than Christmas has been a part of Scottish life for many hundreds of years.

    Mount Moriah Cemetery: Revitalizing a Southwest Philadelphia Asset Casey Diaz, Sierra Hall, Adam Horn, Samantha Jeune, Ryan Kelly, Katerina Krohn, Colleen Quinn, Patrick Roehm, and Claire Rossi Mayor’s Internship Program August 12, 2016 2 Contents Introduction 3 History of Mount Moriah 3 Maps and Cemetery Association 7 Community Engagement 9 Program Analysis and Opportunities at Mt. Moriah 11 Grants and Funding 13 Conclusion 15 3 Introduction Mount Moriah is a historic cemetery located in Southwest Philadelphia’s Kingsessing neighborhood. Once a picturesque and spanning rural cemetery, Mount Moriah closed in 2011 and its maintenance has since been neglected. The Friends of Mount Moriah Cemetery is a volunteer group dedicated to preserving the cemetery, both as a way to honor those buried there, and because of the opportunities the cemetery offers as a historical site, natural sanctuary, and community green space. The Friends have a clear vision for Mount Moriah, but need resources to achieve these goals. During the last ten weeks, the Mount Moriah Project interns have tackled multiple projects for the cemetery, including generating the first map of all the cemeteries in Philadelphia, assembling data on over 150 burials, gauging community interest in using the cemetery as a green space, researching programming opportunities and developing connections with potential partners, and exploring and evaluated grant opportunities. The following is a summary of the future of Mount Moriah and potential the cemetery can offer as a community space, with support from the City. I. History of Mount Moriah Located in Southwest Philadelphia, Mount Moriah Cemetery is a hidden historic gem clouded by years of neglect.

  • Dinner Is at 10 Pm Thao Thu Nguyen 7:30 Pm
    Dinner Is at 10 pm Thao Thu Nguyen 7:30 pm. Time for my mother to start cooking dinner. In a few hours, my father would be home. The garage door rumbles open. The car door slams shut. The younger children run to the door to greet their father after a long day at work. He walks into the house and smells the aroma of food. Walking to the dining room, he sees the table is all set and the food is ready to be eaten. It’s 10:00 pm now. Time for dinner! One by one, everyone sits in their designated spots. Grace is said . and we begin to eat. Meals in my family were far from quiet. It was one of the few times we had to spend together as a whole family. We would talk about how our days had been, tell stories of the past, or explain our . plans for the week. Dinner was our family bonding time. There are eight of us, my father, my mother, and six children; so, there was always at least one person who had something to talk about. It’s a crowded dinner table, we’re sitting next to each other, elbow to elbow, talking and enjoying the time. Suddenly the phone rings, the chattering slowly stops. My father picks it up and leaves the dinner table. As he walks away, we hear a faded, “Dr. Nguyen.” A few minutes later, he reappears in . his signature blue scrubs and we know we won’t be seeing him until the morning of the next day.
