He dared not move; he had no desire to draw attention to himself. The seconds ticked into minutes, but Lucian remained still. Listening. Sounds drifted upward from the room beneath his chamber.

I have also tried to credit other individual teachers where I have mentioned their techniques explicitly. Also, in twenty years of studying this content, with similar techniques being invented independently, and with many teachers cross-fertilising, it’s sometimes not clear in my own mind where things came from, so I’d like to apologise if I missed you out! Ultimately, embodiment is universal and I’ve never been a fan of trying to trademark being human, but dif- ferent teachers have worked out different pieces of the puzzle and have their own signature moves, and I would like to bow in their direction.

  • The Ben Gray Lumpkin Collection of Colorado Folklore
    Gene A. Culwell The Ben Gray Lumpkin Collection of Colorado Folklore Professor Ben Gray Lumpkin, who retired from the University of Colorado in June of 1969, spent more than twenty years of his academic career amassing a large collection of folksongs in the state of Colorado. At my request, Profes- sor Lumpkin provided the following information concerning his life and career: Son of John Moorman and Harriet Gray Lumpkin, I was born De- cember 25, 1901, in Marshall County, Mississippi, on a farm about seven miles north of Holly Springs. Grandpa was a Methodist cir- cuit rider, but had to farm to eke out a living because his hill-coun- try churches were too poor to support his family. Because we lived too far from the Hudsonville school for me to walk, I began schooling under my mother until I was old enough to ride a gentle mare and take care of her at school—at the age of 8. When my father bought a farm in Lowndes County, Mississippi, my brother Joe and sister Martha and I went to Penn Station and Crawford elementary schools. Having finished what was called the ninth grade, I went to live with my Aunt Olena Ford, and fin- ished Tupelo High School in 1921, then BA, University of Missis- sippi, 1925. I worked as the secretary and clerk in the Mississippi State Department of Archives and History (September 1925 to March 1929) and in the Mississippi Division office of Southern Bell Telephone Company (March 1929 to August 1930). I taught English and other subjects in Vina, Alabama, High School (August 1930 through January 1932).

Be- hind him is the Carmel High School orchestra, a group of musicians who could very well follow in his foot- steps to join the many Carmel alumni working in the music industry. From the pep band to the pit orchestra, the pres- ence of the music department can be felt throughout all of Carmel High School. After leaving an impression on campus during their tenure at the high school, many alumni continue to pursue careers in the music. Perhaps no alum is more well-known than Egg- leston, who was nominated for a Grammy in 2002 as part of the group Fiddlers 4. After this work, the ‘97 CHS grad released two albums with the progressive bluegrass band Crooked Still. The artist went solo in 2007 and has since produced three more albums span- ning a variety of genres including punk rock and chil- dren’s music. Eggleston made another splash recently: his video entitled “I Love Tofu,” has garnered over 1 million views on Facebook.

  • Adventists Believe That Education Has the Goal of Preparing Students Sfor the Present and the Future Life As Outlined by Ellen G
    • EVENTH-DAY Adventists believe that education has the goal of preparing students Sfor the present and the future life as outlined by Ellen G. White in Education, Page 13. Secular education focuses only on the life in this world. Thus we cannot rely on that system to fulfill our goals. The only hope of a future life is in Jesus Christ. So if the future life is important to us, then our education must place Jesus in a central position. Students are at the time in life when they are most ready to absorb thoughts and develop positive feelings about Jesus. These thoughts and feelings are the basis of religion. In the absence of such content, other ideas and feelings will be absorbed that will produce a different kind of religion. Everyone has some kind of religion, that is, some basic ideas and feelings that are the determining force in decision-making and lifestyle. And if there is a different kind of religion, then there also is a different kind of person. For students to attend classes in a school where the name of Jesus cannot be heard, except in oath, is to lose the most religion-absorbing hours of life. Contrast that situation with a school day that opens with prayer and devotional thoughts, continues with Bible classes, and Christian teachers infusing the other classes and the whole day with Christian principles. It is not only the future life that is affected by the Gospel of Jesus. The direction of Why education for the present life is also changed by making Jesus central.

Ivona Barešová, Ph.D. Jazyk diplomovej práce angličtina Počet strán (znakov) 78 (117026) Počet použitých zdrojov 52 Kľúčové slova Japonsko, maskulinita, genderové problémy, sōshokukei danshi, japonská mládež, salaryman Abstrakt Cieľom tejto práce je opísať meniace sa ideály maskulinity za posledných približne tridsať rokov. Za túto dobu sa v Japonsku udialo niekoľko ekonomických ako aj spoločenských zmien, ktoré so sebou priniesli nový pohľad na postavenie mužov v spoločnosti a otvorili priestor pre vznik a šírenie nových foriem maskulinity - predstavovateľmi ktorých sú predovšetkým mladí Japonci vo vekovej skupine 18 az 26 rokov. V rámci práce sa preto zameriam na starší ideál maskulinity, dominantný predovšetkým po Druhej svetovej vojne, ale významný dodnes. V ďalších kapitolách opíšem meniace sa ideály, ktoré predstavujú mladšie generácie Japoncov, ako aj reakciu starších kritikov a masmédií na niektoré z týchto fenoménov. Ďakujem vedúcej práce Mgr. Ivone Barešovej Ph.D., za jej trpezlivosť, ochotu a pomoc pri stanovovaní témy práce. Taktiež ďakujem svojej rodine a priateľom za ich podporu, bez ktorej by táto práca nemohla existovať.
