Bednar Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles Morning and Evening PRAYERS Prayer becomes more meaningful as we counsel with the Lord in all our doings (see Alma 37:37). he patterns used by God in creating the earth are instructive in helping us understand how to make prayer meaningful. In the third chapter of the book of Moses we learn that all things were created spiritually before they were naturally upon the earth. T“And now, behold, I say unto you, that these are the generations of the heaven and of the earth, when they were created, in the day that I, the Lord God, made the heaven and the earth, “And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew. For I, the Lord God, created all things, of which I have spoken, spiritu- ally, before they were naturally upon the face of the earth” (Moses 3:4–5). We learn from these verses that the spiritual creation preceded the temporal cre- ation. In a similar way, meaningful morning prayer is an important element in the spiritual creation of each day—and precedes the temporal creation or the actual exe- cution of the day. Just as the temporal creation was linked to and a continuation of the spiritual creation, so meaningful morning and evening prayers are linked to and PHOTO ILLUSTRATIONS BY JANAE BINGHAM JANAE BY ILLUSTRATIONS PHOTO are a continuation of each other.

  • E, the Magic Flute
    MOZART THE MAGIC FLUTE English Version by Donald Pippin SYNOPSIS Strange things are going on in the land of the all-powerful Queen of the Night. A serpent of Jurassic proportions is on the loose, and woe to the hapless wanderer who gets in its way, in this case a young prince -- our hero -- who rushes in crying for help, and unheroically faints. He is rescued in the nick of time by three mysterious ladies who dispatch the serpent with effortless aplomb. The ladies depart, albeit reluctantly – the unknown Prince lying unconscious on the ground is exceedingly good-looking -- to report their success to the Queen, still despondent over the recent kidnapping of her beloved daughter Pamina. But if the Queen is so all-powerful, how is it that her own daughter has been seized and whisked away from under her nose? Why did she not stop it? Good question. Could it be that the Queen is up against an even more irresistible force? Or is there more to the story than meets the eye? One may even suspect that she has already spotted the prince, whose name is Tamino, and already chosen him to rescue the helpless girl from the villain who is holding her captive. And now, to inspire him to the task, she promptly sends him, via the three ladies, a picture of Pamina. One look and, needless to say, Tamino falls in love, as who would not? Ready to risk all for the sake of love, called to action, wild horses could not hold him back.

Trent Associate Professor Cameron McCarthy Assistant Professor Lorenzo DuBois Baber Abstract For college students, academic and social issues play a huge role in their higher education experience. This experience is exceptionally complicated for diverse Black populations, who often have to negotiate their complex racial and ethnic space in the United States. My research investigates underrepresented cultures from Africa - namely Nigeria - whose ethnic background is often considered invisible in the United States. This research examines how Nigerian college students make meaning of their racial and ethnic identity at a Predominantly White Institution. Detailed interviews were conducted with 20 self-identified Nigerian college students at a Midwestern public research university. Participants varied from international students to U.S. born Nigerian students. This study finds that Nigerian college students embrace their various racial and ethnic identities and utilize terms such as African, African-American, Nigerian, transnational Nigerian, Nigerian- American, 1st generation American, Black, Igbo and Yoruba to describe their racial and ethnic identity.

  • From the Bench to the Screen: the Woman Judge in Film
    FROM THE BENCH TO THE SCREEN: THE WOMAN JUDGE IN FILM LAURA KRUGMAN RAY* ABSTRACT Although there has been a dramatic increase in the number of women judges over the past half century, their cinematic counterparts have failed to reflect that change. This Article explores the paradoxical relationship between social reality and its representation on screen to identify a lingering resistance to the idea of women exercising judicial power. The Article first examines the sparse history of women judges as central characters in films of the 1930s, finding the tension in those films between judicial authority and domestic happiness. It then turns to Hollywood’s romantic comedies of the 1940s, which resolved that tension through the courtship of women judges by charming and tolerant suitors. Finally, the Article contrasts those films with the recent, darker films which present aspiring and active women judges struggling unsuccessfully to reconcile their professional and personal identities. All of these films use the woman judge as a vivid proxy for the broader theme of a woman challenging her traditional feminine role by assuming a position of authority; a sampling of recent films from countries with civil law systems reveals that American filmmakers have not been alone in exploring that theme with an eye to its difficulties rather than its rewards. All of these films, American and foreign, vintage and modern, suggest that the reality of women on the bench has yet to eliminate an element of discomfort with the idea of a woman successfully combining judicial power with a traditional and satisfying personal life.

  • Imagining and Expressing Regional Identity and Solidarity in Popular Song and Video
    Musical Melanesianism: Imagining and Expressing Regional Identity and Solidarity in Popular Song and Video Michael Webb and Camellia Webb-Gannon From different cultures we may come speaking in different tongues, yet deep within, our souls touch each other through the language of music. With music we communicate and talk with a common language—with “one talk. Throughout Mela- nesia.” —Soru Anthony Subam1 Proclaimed as “a new anthem for all Melanesian people everywhere,” the party pop song “Melanesia” (JJY)2 was launched in 2011 via iTunes and YouTube.3 Its opening lyrics trace the following cartography, delivered by multilayered Auto-Tuned vocals over a strong dance club beat: Solomon Islands Vanuatu South sea island of PNG (beautiful people) West Papua New Caledonia Torres Strait Islands, Fiji (together we are) Melanesia Melanesia Me-melanesia, we are Melanesia4 In the rap that follows, Melanesia is represented idyllically. Its text essentializes the region as an egalitarian island paradise of cool island breezes, swaying palm trees, and swinging hammocks, where beautiful The Contemporary Pacic, Volume 28, Number 1, 59–95 © 2016 by University of Hawai‘i Press 59 60 the contemporary pacific • 28:1 (2016) girls with Afros shake their hips as they dance the hula. Melanesia is a region imbued with “Mela magic,” where food “fresh from the garden” is available at the local market and the lifestyle is so casual that Islanders are “local tourists”5 who are “keepin’ it real and simple.” It would be easy to dismiss such sentiments as facile and overly nostalgic; however, delivered in this musical form, they encapsulate the anxieties many Melanesians experience today, whether “grassroots” or middle class.
