Sparkle $4.98 Before Dreamgirls hit cineplexes in 2006, there was Sparkle. Released in 1976, the low-budget movie (which is also loosely based on the story of Diana Ross and the Supremes) achieved somewhat of a cult following among fans that enjoy a good cry along with their kitsch. Sparkle tells the rags-to-riches (and rags again, for some of the characters) tale of three sisters with gorgeous voices. There’s … |

Comforted of God $5.95 This collection of Scripture texts, prose and poetry shines the light of God’s Word into the darkness of disappointment, illness and bereavement. To those in such circumstances it provides encouragement, strength, illumination, understanding and comfort. Over thirty thousand copies were produced during the first half of the twentieth century, bringing relief to many. Over one hundred years have passed since the first edition was compiled, and yet the basic problems of the human condition remain essentially unchanged; and God’s Word has as much to say to those facing the darkest of personal situations in the 21st Century as it ever did. Its message of hope still lifts the spirit and draws the stressed, the discouraged and the sorrowful to the Saviour, who is the Prince of Peace. The compiler, Algernon James Pollock (1864-1957), was the eldest son born to a Christian banker and his wife in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. At the age of eleven he made a profession of faith in Christ. Early in life he was introduced to leading figures amongst the Brethren (John Nelson Darby was entertained in the home when he was about fifteen). He followed his father into banking, but his true calling was to share the treasure he had found in heaven, and he left to become a full-time evangelist. He was an indefatigable apologist from the pulpit and in print wherever he saw the Christian faith under attack. He wrote several books, but he is probably best known for over fifty pamphlets containing critiques of deviations from Bible-based, Christ-centred Christianity. |

”Caring for the least of these”: Christian women’s short-term mission travel. $49.99 This dissertation explores how Christian women strategically activated social networks to do short-term mission (STM) and take on new leadership roles, creatively reinventing and rejuvenating themselves through international volunteerism. A growing religious movement, STM carework is a democratized grassroots phenomenon, typically featuring bottom-up entrepreneurial agency rather than top-down central planning and control which lends itself to women’s involvement. This research used global ethnography and visual analysis to examine and theorize how social capital and resource brokering was built locally and globally, bridging and linking women within two respective groups across international spaces: (1) an incorporated not-for-profit medical professional group that traveled regularly to Africa; and (2) a suburban women’s ministry group from a megachurch who conducted a large women’s retreat in the Domincan Republic and also worked in an orphanage. The first group included team members from mainline, Catholic and evangelical traditions. The second group incorporated Latina women from the megachurch’s Hispanic sister congregation, and included four Latina women on the traveling team. Each group’s activities and narratives illuminated the crucial role of cultural brokers to mediate material and symbolic resources essential to the achievement of their work on behalf of those deemed “needy.” Also, examination of normally private marital gender relations revealed that couples negotiated fender roles either in ways they had already practiced (egalitarian) or in exceptional ways (unbending gender roles).;Research on Christian women’s STM resource brokering contributes to studies on congregations, volunteerism, civil society, social capital, faith-based initiatives, international development, women’s religion, tourism, pilgrimage, and religion and globalization. Both professional and stay-at-home mothers benefitted from regularized church/state funding structures (pooled |

”Genius Loci-Spirit of Place” for orchestra. $49.99 Genius Loci, from the Latin “spirit of place,” refers to the unique atmosphere of a place. Composers, writers and artists throughout history have been inspired by place. Genius Loci—Spirit of Place is my own exploration of the meaning of “place.” The piece is not a representation of place but instead represents the distinctive residue of a place that inspires expression.;The spirit of place is in itself organic to music, a time-based art. It is the essence, the residue, of the opening that emanates throughout a composition as “place,” or as a marker, for the composer and listener alike. In music of the classical period this sense of initial place is often referred to as home, as in the home key, and one of the period’s preeminent formal designs is the journey away from that opening place and an eventual return home.;Similarly, Genius Loci-Spirit of Place, emanates from its opening gesture. “Place” here is in the intervallic pitch-relationship of D♭–C–B♭, the music’s distinctive register, its bell-like character, as well as the repeated octave that creates an open harmonic sound world full of possibilities. What follows grows organically out of the spirit of that place and informs the remainder of the work. The opening gesture, for example, leads to the structural and registral climax of Genius Loci—Spirit of Place in measure 93. The descending pitches C-B-A (transposed from the opening), via a sequential progression toward the low register, initiate this climax in a slow build-up that starts in measure 76. This moment also coincides with a rhythmic and metric ‘coming-together’ of the beat. A return to the opening harmony, at the point of release of tension from the climax in measure 99, restores a sense of place. This homecoming is further emphasized by the return of the octave in its distinctive opening register. The spirit of place is the underlying current that flows throughout the entire composition. |

”Hablamos espanol”: An inquiry into the use of role-plays in a Spanish middle school classroom. $49.99 Research Question. How do small group role-plays influence students’ engagement in class, attitudes toward learning Spanish and ability to use the language to communicate with both written and oral fluency?;Research Activities. Context: This study took place in an 8th grade Spanish classroom (N=14) in rural Appalachia. Nine focus students were selected for in depth analysis, three at each level of performance: (low, medium and high).;Methods and Data. This intervention occurred over a five-week period and consisted of three five-day lesson cycles in which students worked in groups of 4–5 to complete open-ended role-plays. Role-plays were designed to mimic real-to-life scenarios in a restaurant. Students researched restaurant websites in Spain, wrote, practiced and preformed a different role-play over each of the five-day periods. A home school connection included students practicing role-playing with family members and each other via phone calls.;Results. Student self-efficacy as language speakers greatly improved (from 50% to a 100%), as did their confidence speaking Spanish in both one-on-one situations and in front of the class, with only 2 students feeling hesitant about presenting. Student writing also improved, with students showing an average increase of 8.5 verbs and 6 additional message units. Additionally, students developed greater oral fluency based on a 1–4 rubric, becoming more comprehensible (from 2.4 to 3.3) and more accurate in their use of grammar rules. All students were observed to be highly engaged and excited about practicing and performing role-plays.;Conclusions. Using role-plays in a language classroom improves student confidence, and speaking abilities. Role plays helped students in using Spanish during group work and provided extensive speaking practice. Additionally, students who engage in role-plays improve their writing abilities by including more complex grammar structures.;Grade Level. Eighth Grade;Data Collection Methods. |

‘A pure fellowship’: The danger and necessity of purity in white and African-American Mennonite racial exchange, 1935–1971. $49.99 “How did the Civil Rights Movement bring about change?” In answer to that question, this dissertation argues that the splintering of purity rhetoric within the intimate environments of home and sanctuary both inhibited and empowered white and African-American religious practitioners to seek social change. To make this argument, this project follows the purity-focused activity of white and African-American Mennonites through the long civil rights era. Building on the work of anthropologist Mary Douglas, this dissertation focus on Mennonites’ multiple expressions of purity—defined here as a cultural value that orders society by defining group boundaries—through racially focused clothing restrictions, marriage practices, interracial congregations, evangelism initiatives, and service programs. Based on oral histories, photographs, diaries, and denominational records, this work demonstrates how purity values changed over time. The record of this change reveals how religious actors shifted their attention from maintaining racially untainted blood in the 1930s, to bolstering homogeneous fellowships in the 1940s, to protecting female chastity in the 1950s, and then to managing a splintered religious rhetoric in the 1960s. That rhetoric reveals a set of theologically expressed purity forms—in religious, sexual, racial, and ethical manifestations—alongside a rule-based purity heuristic focused on establishing protective group boundaries. This study thus reveals a striking continuity: the danger and necessity of purity remained interlocked for four decades. Each time an expression of purity attracted African Americans to the church, another purity expression blocked their entrance.;The argument advanced by this dissertation thus repositions the existing historiography of the Civil Rights Movement by shifting attention away from the public drama of street marches and civil arrests and toward the quotidian negotiation of family meals and evening devotions.

Right after school he went straight into traditional woodcarving. Initially, business was slow, hindered both by the lack of financial resources and inability to procure quality materials. With help from his family, especially his brother, Darko’s enterprise has since been growing tremendously. Darko is currently operating a workshop in the town where he grew up and where he has been carving seriously to date. Sese, a common wood harvested in the eastern Region of Ghana, is his primary material. Masks and profiles comprise the majority of his art. His inspiration comes naturally, although sometimes he carves based on his customers’ ideas.
