December 22, 2019 Dear Friends in Christ, This Wednesday We Will WWW.STANDREWCATHOLICCHURCH.ORG | (843) 448-5930 | 3501 N KINGS HWY, SUITE 102, MYRTLE BEACH, SC 29577 December 22, 2019 Dear Friends in Christ, This Wednesday we will celebrate the coming of the Son of God into the world in the person of Jesus of Nazareth, born of the Virgin Mary. The birth of the baby Jesus, in an obscure part of the ancient world, in poor circumstances, unnoticed by the rich and powerful of his day, absolutely and forever transformed the face of the earth. For he is no ordinary baby boy. He is the Word made Flesh, born for our salvation. And not only does this child’s birth transform the earth. His coming also transforms the invisible realm of heaven. For in him, earth and heaven, the visible and the invisible realm of pure spirit, are perfectly joined. In this poor child, human and divine nature becomes one. And though few in the world noticed his birth, the hierarchies of heaven, with their pure spiritual vision, saw very clearly what had occurred, and upon seeing, they proclaim glory to all creation. On the night of his birth, scripture tells us that angels appeared in the sky, singing, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to those of good will!” In response to the angel’s song, the shepherds in the fields surrounding Bethlehem came to see this miraculous child. And at Christmas each year, we too gather like the shepherds to gather round the Christ child, responding to the song of angels and the call of faith heard in our hearts. Because we know that by this child’s birth, and by the life he will lead and the death he will suffer, our lives have been transformed, made meaningful in this world, and assured the gift of life immortal when we join him in the next. This is what we celebrate at Christmas: that God so loved the world that he gave his Only-Begotten Son for our sake, who emptied himself and took the form of a slave, the form of human flesh, so that flesh, wounded by sin and separated from God, might be restored to original justice and holiness, and indeed elevated even beyond the goodness of our beginning, so that we are no longer mere creatures, but adopted sons and daughters of God through Christ Jesus. In us, the realms of flesh and spirit are united, and the spirit calls us by grace to that high and noble destiny, to live as children of God. So, this Christmas, let us celebrate and embrace this destiny with joy! Let us realize that our lives are not mere work and money-grubbing or the anxieties and fears that the enemy hisses in our ear; we are not defined by our moments of weakness or anger or meanness or woe-is-me or pure cussedness and self-righteous pride, or the temptations that worry us or even the sins we commit, which have no power where grace abounds all the more. We are called to serve the Lord in the beauty of holiness, to sing his praises, joyful and triumphant at all times, to know and love all that is true, good, and beautiful in this world and receive it infinitely in the next. This is why were made. This is who we are. And this is the gift that we receive (greater than any gift we can ever give) when we welcome the Christ Child into our hearts at Christmas, acknowledging him as Lord and Savior. Fr.

    LETTER TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS TOGETHER SEPTEMBER 2020 EARNINGS P. 3 NEWS P. 4 DIARY P. 8 — 2020 half-year — Universal Music Group — Shareholders’ diary results expands its global footprint Vivendi and you VALIDÉ, CRÉATION ORIGINALE OF CANAL+ © Fifou/Mandarin Télévision/Canal+ Photos/DR GOOD HALF-YEAR RESULTS Yannick Bolloré, Chairman of the Supervisory board, and Arnaud de Puyfontaine, Chairman of the Management Board Dear Shareholders, ivendi has demonstrated its resilience over the past few unprecedented months by staying the strategic course set in 2014: to build a world leader in culture, at the crossroads of the entertainment, media and communications industries. Our group’s business model is both coherent and diversified, which is a significant asset. Vivendi operates in a number of different sectors and countries, and can therefore offset the difficulties encountered in one market with a strong performance in another. In addition, the group’s digital activities have been fully developed, which proved advantageous during the lockdowns. Finally, the revenues generated Vfrom its two main businesses, music and audiovisual content, are directly or indirectly linked to subscriptions, a business model with recurring revenues. In a very difficult environment, Vivendi generated an adjusted net income of €583 million in the first half of 2020, up 5.4%. For the second half, we are carefully analyzing the consequences of the crisis. Today, it is difficult to determine how it will impact the annual results. Nevertheless, Vivendi remains confident in the resilience of its main businesses, music and audiovisual content. Those tied to advertising and live performance may be affected for a more extended period than the others.

    This book provides a unique and intriguing insight into current debates concerning the relationship between nation and state Jordan Paul as well as the political management of international image in today’s Europe through an examination of debates on nation branding and the Eurovision Song Contest. Europe is a con- tested construct and its boundaries are subject to redefinition. This work aims to advance critical thinking about contempo- rary nation branding and its relationship to, and influence on, Paul Jordan nation building. In particular it focusses on key identity debates The Modern Tale Fairy that the Eurovision Song Contest engendered in Estonia in the run-up to EU accession. The Eurovision Song Contest is an event which is often dismissed as musically and culturally The Modern Fairy Tale: inferior. However, this work demonstrates that it has the capac- ity to shed light on key identity debates and illuminate wider Nation Branding, National Identity socio-political issues. Using a series of in-depth interviews with and the Eurovision Song Contest political elites, media professionals and opinion leaders, this book is a valuable contribution to the growing field of research in Estonia on nation branding and the Eurovision Song Contest.

  • Linguistic and Cultural Changes Throughout the History of the Eurovision Song Contest
    Linguistic and cultural changes throughout the history of the Eurovision Song Contest Trabajo de Fin de Grado Lenguas Modernas y Traducción Facultad de Filosofía y Letras Written by: Sergio Lucas Rojo Tutored by: Irina Ursachi July 2020 Abstract This paper aims to clarify some of the linguistic problems that have arisen in recent years at the Eurovision Song Contest, one of the most important music events in the world. Through an exhaustive bibliographic review and the individual analysis of a large number of entries, it is concluded that linguistic diversity, an identifying feature of the show in the past, has been reduced by establishing a rule that does not oblige artists to sing in the language of the country they represent. English has taken over the reins of this annual competition, although there is still room for the traditional and the ethnic. The research that has been carried out is intended to serve as a reference for all Eurovision followers who wish to expand their knowledge. It also attempts to clarify concepts such as “linguistic diversity”, “identity” and “culture”, which can be extrapolated to other fields of knowledge. It must be noted that not only have linguistic issues been dealt with, but there are references to all the factors involved in the contest. However, it is those phenomena related to languages that form the backbone of the work. Key words: Eurovision Song Contest, languages, culture, identity, Europe, music. Resumen Este trabajo responde a la necesidad de aclarar algunos problemas lingüísticos que han surgido en los últimos años en el Festival de Eurovisión, uno de los eventos musicales más importantes del mundo.
