    We Have Kidney Cancer Survivors Stories Inspiration and Advice from Patients and Caregivers

    2012 Edition The Kidney Cancer Association Presents... We Have Kidney Cancer Survivors Stories Inspiration and advice from patients and caregivers Supported by KidneyCancer.org FOREWORD I am always thrilled to meet fellow kidney cancer survivors and their families. When I was diagnosed 18 years ago with Stage III kidney cancer, the only encouragement I received from my surgeon was that he would “make me as comfortable and happy as possible.” As a straightforward New Yorker, I decided that “comfortable and happy” wasn’t going to cut it with me. I very sweetly advised him that I had “comfortable and happy” covered; I needed him to do something more. Following a radical nephrectomy of a 10 cm tumor (that was classified as papillary), I endured one year of low-dose subcutaneous immunotherapy – at the time, the only FDA approved treatment on the market -- and was pronounced cancer-free. Six months later, a lymph node surfaced in my neck; it was malignant. What to do? My oncologist put me on a chemotherapy regimen that combined two other chemical agents. It was an extremely challenging treatment, but it seems to have worked. I have subsequently had all sorts of “quirky” medical issues, “Duringmyexperience but, fortunately, kidney cancer has not been among them. withcancer,Icametorealize During my experience with cancer, I came to realize that one thatonethingwealways thing we always need is HOPE. Kidney cancer statistics are needisHOPE.” daunting and can weigh heavily on one’s state of mind. This is what propelled me to become involved with the Kidney Cancer Association: I wanted to be the voice for those unable to speak up; the shoulder for those who needed a boost; and, most importantly, the one who provided hope when things looked grim.

Additionally, they are suggestive of the breadth of texts that students should encounter in the text types required by the Standards. The choices should serve as useful guideposts in helping educators select texts of similar complexity, quality, and range for their own classrooms. They expressly do not represent a partial or complete reading list. The process of text selection was guided by the following criteria: Complexity. Appendix A describes in detail a three-part model of measuring text complexity based on qualitative and quantitative indices of inherent text difficulty balanced with educators’ professional judgment in matching readers and texts in light of particular tasks. In selecting texts to serve as exemplars, the work group began by soliciting contributions from teachers, educational leaders, and researchers who have experience working with students in the grades for which the texts have been selected. These contributors were asked to recommend texts that they or their colleagues have used successfully with students in a given grade band. The work group made final selections based in part on whether qualitative and quantitative measures indicated that the recommended texts were of sufficient complexity for the grade band.
  • The Letter to the Ephesians

    The Letter to the Ephesians

    T The Letter to the Ephesians N. T. Wright Professor N. T. Wright gave an overview of Ephesians in two addresses to the Scottish Church Theology Society conference in January 2013. Retaining something of the informality of the spoken address, they have been transcribed and abbreviated by members of the society, and are published here with his kind permission and without annotation. A bishop once said plaintively: ‘Everywhere St Paul went there was a riot. Everywhere I go they serve tea.’ It’s a fair complaint – maybe riots will come back when we preach Paul – who knows? Of course part of the question is whether Ephesians really is Paul or not and I am not going to go into that in any great depth. I think the current prejudice against the Pauline authorship of Ephesians and Colossians owes a lot to the liberal Protestantism of nineteenth-century Germany, which has stayed as a kind of shibboleth in many Pauline studies so that people assume these two books are deutero-Pauline or whatever. Well, in ancient history all sorts of things are possible; we can only be sure of a small number of things in the first century. But, when you keep studying Romans and Galatians and so on, and turn to Ephesians, you invariably find things summarised there rather well. And many, like my distinguished predecessor J. B. Lightfoot, have thought that Ephesians is in fact a circular, written around the same time as Colossians, but to a wider group of churches probably in the vicinity of Ephesus, perhaps up country in the Lycus valley.

Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2013 APPROVED: Lynn Eustis, Major Professor Richard Sparks, Committee Member Stephen Morscheck, Committee Member Jeffrey Snider, Chair of the Division of Vocal Studies Benjamin Brand, Director of Graduate Studies James C. Scott, Dean of the College of Music Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Backlin, Laurissa. Iron Sharpens Iron: Duets for Two Women in the Teaching/Instruction of Undergraduate Women. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), August 2013, 61 pp., 30 figures, bibliography, 77 titles. Duet literature remains largely untapped as a pedagogical tool in the undergraduate voice studio. This dissertation examines the ways in which eight duets for female voices, although not written primarily for pedagogical use, may be used to teach four main areas of voice technique: intonation, vocal agility, legato singing, and dramatic skills. Duets are chosen primarily from the standard repertoire and are in English, German, French, Italian and Latin. The compositional styles range from the Baroque period through the 20th century. Genres include art song, oratorio, and opera. Each chapter focuses on one of the four vocal skills listed above, and includes examinations of two duets whose vocal writing (rhythm, tessitura, intervals, tempi, and text) make them appropriate candidates for pedagogical use in the improvement of that specific skill. Both male and female teachers of singing may utilize this project as a practical resource and model in how to use other duets, including those for other voice types, for similar purposes in their teaching studio.

In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. Abstract The creative component of the thesis consists of a novel entitled Mrs Engels. Mrs Engels is a first-person narrative from the perspective of Lizzie Burns, the Irish lover of the Communist leader Friedrich Engels. The action of the novel is focused on the years 1870-72 when Lizzie and Friedrich move from Manchester to London in order to be close to the Marx’s and the active international Communist scene there. The critical component consists of an essay entitled ‘Illusions of Truth’. ‘Illusions of Truth’ is a meditation on some of the questions raised when we speak of the category of ‘historical fiction’. It is a response to the fact that, often, discussions of historical fiction view ‘the past’ as textual and therefore to some degree unknowable, while taking for granted the knowability of ‘the present’.
