La Queste del Saint Graal is one of the best-known and most important of the medieval Grail Romances, being the first text to portray the character of Galahad the «perfect» knight, and the earliest extant version of the tale to attempt to fuse the dual tradition associated with the Grail: pseudo-Celtic and Christian. However, it is often considered a difficult text, containing passages of dense metaphor and a seemingly disjointed plot. This study explains the link between metaphor and structure within the text, by means of detailed analysis of certain key sections of the narrative, showing how the author has carefully constructed a hierarchy of characters. What also emerges is that the author places the reader in a position analogous to that of the questing knights, struggling to understand the adventures with which they are presented, and able to do so insofar as they have grasped the symbolic significance of earlier events in the story. The literary technique of structuring a text by means of metaphor is employed not only in La Queste del Saint Graal, but is characteristic of much medieval narrative: thus this analysis has implications for the interpretation of other examples of the genre.

God is our refuge and strength [mighty and impenetrable], A very present and well-proved help in TROUBLE. -Psalm 46:1 * * *Many verses in the Bible admonish us to put our trust in God!However, only a few reveal who God will trust. God seems to trust some with wealth, fame, power, and position, but He only trusts a select few with actual TROUBLE. This paradox is illustrated in the book of Job, as God essentially hands Job over to the adversary.Although there were certain restrictions, Satan was given complete access to Job, his household, his health, and his entire environment! We are well aware that Job was reinstated as soon as everything was addressed. Can we survive that valley, that fire, that illness, and that death? That monetary predicament; that separation; that betrayal? Can God trust you?This handbook will assist you in responding to the TROUBLE that will come your way. I invite you to prayerfully read through the daily focus while recalling Job''s encounters. The book of Job was not about Job''s faith in God, but about God''s faith in Job. If God can trust you, He will repay you double for your TROUBLE.- Pastor Sam Emory Apostolic Tabernacle, Merced, CA "Where God is REAL" Everyone remembers their favorite HIDE-and-SEEK moments. This is a deceptive game with little actual danger. This included the thrill of scurrying into shadowy corners, hiding beneath the bed, or squeezing into tight quarters. We felt like we had superpowers, especially when hidden in plain sight. We would often transform into still statues, holding our breath and trying hard not to make even the slightest motion. Then, as life unfolds, the game loses its luster, and we are confronted with the truth that TROUBLE constantly pursues us. We try to dodge TROUBLE while we naturally search for that elusive hiding place. Our rude awakening comes when TROUBLE either catches up with us or catches us completely off guard. You will have this devotional handbook with you as a tool to build you up during your tribulations. ...

Becoming your own patient advocate to manage chronic illness.

[Truncated abstract] Cerebral Palsy (CP) is one of the most common childhood physical disabilities in the world1. The associated impairments of CP often encompass all components of functioning. Spasticity and muscle weakness are two major motor impairments associated with CP. Botulinum Neurotoxin Type-A (BoNT-A) is a common treatment for spasticity management with many reported functional benefits; however muscle weakness and muscle atrophy have been linked with BoNT-A treatment. Children with CP are already predisposed to decrements in muscle strength and size, therefore any treatment potentially leading to further weakening and atrophy of the muscle should be well understood. This doctorate is written as a series of papers each adding to the understanding of the effects of BoNT-A and strength training in children with CP. The opening paper presented in this thesis is the first known documentation of the morphological alterations of spastic muscle to BoNT-A, alongside information on alterations in muscle strength and functional ability. Ten boys and five girls with spastic diplegia, aged 5-12 years and classified as Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) level I-II were recruited from the Cerebral Palsy Mobility Service in Perth, Australia, and were assessed before and (approximately 5weeks) after BoNT-A. Outcome measures included isometric dynamometry assessing muscle strength, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to measure muscle volume, and the Timed-Up and Go (TUG) test and the 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) to assess functional walking capacity. This paper uncovered documented muscle atrophy in BoNT-A injected muscles and hypertrophy of synergist muscles. However, atrophy of the injected muscle was relatively minor compared to evidence provided in animal studies and appeared to have no negative impact on muscle function. Given that the single treatment of BoNT-A did have an effect on muscle morphology, a logical progression of treatment planning would be to combine both BoNT-A treatment (for spasticity management) and strength training (for muscular weakness) to target both impairments simultaneously. The second, third and fourth paper of this thesis aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the combined effect of BoNT-A treatment and a home based strength training intervention. A secondary aim of this thesis is to determine the best practice in terms of timing of application of a strength training intervention in relation to reception of BoNT-A for children with CP. The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) is utilised by health professionals as best practice for a holistic approach to the management of people with disabilities, and is applied throughout this thesis to assess outcomes of the combined interventions of BoNT-A and strength training. The study design, dictated by current clinical care, utilised a repeated measures cross-comparison design. The fifteen children (aged 5-12 years, GMFCS I-II) recruited in this study completed four assessments over 6months timed around receipt of BoNT-A treatment. Children in the study were block randomised by age, gender and GMFCS level into either a PRE or POST BoNT-A strength training group...

If you loved Zo Williams'' Relationship Dismount book, you would indeed love his new book with Co-Author Andrea Williams The Holographic Relationship. I invite you to order your copy of Zo Williams''s forthcoming book, and follow up to his critically acclaimed relationship workbook, "The Relationship Dismount." What is the holographic principle, and how can we use it to bring clarity to our intimate relationships? What does it mean to relate holographically? Are holograms two-dimensional storage units for three-dimensional human experiences? Is relationship information/history/memory/experiences, whether they be joyful or Traumatic stored in our minds, bodies, souls, or all of the above? All of these questions and more will be engaged in Zo Williams'' new book the holographic relationship. Modern day scientists have come to the mathematically sound understanding that not only can energy never be destroyed but neither can information!"Now, if don''t you know anything about holograms, or the creation of a hologram, it involves lasers that interfere with each other, holographic film, mirrors, and an object.[5] Holograms are a technique for creating/recording three-dimensional images on a two-dimensional surface. For example, a laser hits an apple and interferes with another laser which hits a mirror and then hits the holographic film. Once the laser hits the holographic film, the entire image of the Apple is now encoded onto the film.[5] Even more amazing, when you consider the miracle of technology is happening here, is that when you cut this film into pieces, every individual piece will contain the image of the apple.[5] Just as the whole picture appears throughout the holographic film, what I''m suggesting is that our relationships, which I surmise to be holographic in nature, behave in the same way. You can''t compartmentalize trauma, neglect, and an unforgiving attitude--these things cannot so easily be banished to some remote, obscure place inside yourself.
