Welcome to Knox: Minister's Letter Newsletter of Knox Church, Dunedin March - May 2016 Number 305 Welcome to Knox: Minister’s Letter Margaret Duke, believed to be our congregation’s longest participating member, died recently at the age of 94. As I prepared her funeral, I noticed how Margaret was a life-long learner. She took many courses in New Zealand and overseas, sometimes for extended periods. It helped her throughout her nursing career, including as an effective and respected matron of Dunedin Hospital for the last 16 years of her working life. Life-long learning is important in all kinds of situations.

  • 1/6 Reading One Christmas Around the World Christmas in Australia
    Reading One Christmas around the world Christmas in Australia Adapted from an essay by Rodney Berry Christmas in Australia is always about 30° Celsius which is really hot. As the weather is so good, most Australian families go away and spend their holidays in a resort or on the beach. So ocean sports like swimming and surfing are always popular at Christmas. Christmas is casual here in Australia, people walk around in shorts and T-shirts. Everyone invites their friends and grandparents over for salad with cold meats, or a picnic, or even a barbecue. Unlike Christmas in other countries nobody has anything like a roast dinner or a turkey. When kids wake up on Christmas morning, they hurriedly toss off their sheet and race towards the plastic Christmas tree. All the presents are piled up under it. When the time comes to open the presents the kids tear off the paper and compare presents. When all of the presents have been opened they go outside and have a game of cricket or go to the beach for a swim. Source: http://www.zuzu.org/daze.html Christmas in El Salvador Adapted form an essay by Mirna Salgado Christmas in El Salvador is a time to spend with family. On Christmas day, everybody is always very busy. In the morning we wake up and prepare all the ingredients we need to cook the Christmas meal. For example, if the family is going to make tamales, they prepare the meat one day before. In my country, families celebrate this day in church, and after church we continue celebrating at home.

Prior to the Civil War, President Franklin Pierce was the first to have a Christmas tree in the White House. Today, American holiday celebrations include many traditions, especially those brought by ethnic groups to South Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. a b Christmas in South Bethlehem ~ An Ethnic Experience n Christmas Eve in 1947, fourteen year-old Portuguese immigrant, Armindo Souza arrived at Union Station withO his parents Antonio and Teresa, and his older brother, Antonio, Jr. From the station, they walked through four feet of snow to their home on Buchanan St. in South Bethlehem. In 1987, while a member of the Pennsylvania Governors Heritage Affairs Advisory Commission, Armindo headed Souza the first “Portuguese Heritage Week” proclaimed by the state. In the Pennsylvania State Capitol, Armindo noticed a collection of Christmas trees on display, decorated by resident ethnic groups from around the State. In 1991, while he served on the South Bethlehem Historical Society Board of Directors, Armindo applied a similar concept of decorating ethnic trees, which became Christmas in South Bethlehem—An Ethnic Experience. Through this annual Christmas tree display, ethnic diversity is known and celebrated in South Bethlehem—thanks to Armindo Souza. “Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year” 3 Christmas Trees and Traditions of South Bethlehem Ethnic Groups African-American Traditions — he tradition of decorating Christmas trees was adopted by African-Americans based on a practice by 19th century Americans.

  • Puppetry Research Guide
    2012 1 The UNIMA Research Commission THE UNIMA DIRECTORY OF PUPPET THEATRE RESEARCHERS By Ida Hledíková PhD 2012 2 INTRODUCTION UNIMA Research Commission proposes you a new version of “Directory of Puppet Theatre Researchers”. Our version is in fact a continuation of work elaborated by our predecessors – members of previous Research Commissions of UNIMA. The first edition of the “Directory” was published in Warsaw in 1991. In this innovated version are published those researchers from the previous issues who answered us and it also presents the new names of researchers and theorist of puppet theatre from all over the world. This contemporary index is supplemented by new persons and includes 183 names. According to the bibliographies it is obvious, that most of them respond to our appeals. Not starred are entries of those individuals who were in personal contact with us or those the information on whom was sent by UNIMA National Centres. In an introduction of one of the previous editions the former President of Research Commission Edi Majaron wrote, that this way of publication seemed to be oldfashioned in the world of new communication technologies. On one hand he was right, but on the other hand, thanks to those “oldfashioned” Directories we could continue. In all these documents including this newest version from 2012 year are chronicled researchers and their works. When comparing the first (1991) and the last version (2012) of the Directory we can see how many people dedicated their research to writing on puppetry since then. The researchers and their works have become at the same time a part of puppetry, a part of its history.

  • Singlish Page 50 Robert Burns Robert Burns Was Born Near Ayr, Scotland, 25Th of January, 1759. He Was the Son of William Burnes
    Robert Burns Robert Burns was born near Ayr, Scotland, 25th of January, 1759. He was the son of William Burnes, or Burness, at the time of the poet's birth a nurseryman on the banks of the Doon in Ayrshire. His father, though always extremely poor, attempted to give his children a fair education, and Robert, who was the eldest, went to school for three years in a neighbouring village, and later, for shorter periods, to three other schools in the vicinity. But it was to his father and to his own reading that he owed the more important part of his education; and by the time that he had reached manhood he had a good knowledge of English, a reading knowledge of French, and a fairly wide acquaintance with the masterpieces of English literature from the time of Shakespeare to his own day. In 1766 William Burness rented on borrowed money the farm of Mount Oliphant, and in taking his share in the effort to make this undertaking succeed, the future poet seems to have seriously overstrained his physique. In 1771 the family move to Lochlea, and Burns went to the neighboring town of Irvine to learn flax-dressing. The only result of this experiment, however, was the formation of an acquaintance with a dissipated sailor, whom he afterward blamed as the prompter of his first licentious adventures. His father died in 1784, and with his brother Gilbert the poet rented the farm of Mossgiel; but this venture was as unsuccessful as the others. He had meantime formed an irregular intimacy with Jean Armour, for which he was censured by the Kirk- session.

Welcome to the local English – German and Russian school magazine HELLO PEOPLE! - HALLO LEUTE! This is the first issue of our magazine in 2011/2012 school term. We hope you still feel well at schol.

Good reading! Christmas in Portugal Father Christmas('Pai Natal') is believed to bring presents to children on Christmas Eve, rather than Christmas Day. The presents are left under the Christmas tree or in shoes by the fireplace. Like in Spain, the traditional Christmas meal in Portugal is eaten during the evening of Christmas Eve and consists of codfish with vegetables and boiled potatoes. This is normally followed by shellfish, wild meats or other expensive foods. After the meal, people go to church for the 'Missa do Galo' or 'Mass of the Rooster' service. After the service people return home, and open their presents. Every house has a rich table set in the living room full with traditional food, cakes, fried cookies, nuts and other goodies! The traditional Christmas cake is 'Bolo Rei' (which means 'King Cake') and is placed in the center of the table. People drink porto wine, traditional liquors and eat 'azevias' and 'felhozes' (Portuguese biscuits and sweets). The party lasts until the early hours of the morning! On Christmas Day the living room table remains untouched and people still enjoy their goodies together! Families come together and have Christmas Day lunch together.
