1 VOCATION AND SERVICE LEARNING: FOSTERING REFLECTION AND CITIZENSHIP IN AN INFORMATICS CURRICULUM Nathaniel J. Brown, Anji E. Wall, John P. Buerck Saint Louis University This paper proposes a new definition of vocation that honors the concept s ancient roots, is consistent with how the term is used in modern contexts, and also expands the concept for greater versatility. We discuss the centrality of service in the concept of vocation locating it as part of the bridge between a student s core values and their embodiment in community life. The commitment to one s profession begins before independent status as a practitioner of that profession. It begins in training during which service-learning is a laudable and increasingly popular way to connect to the charitable aspects of professionalism. We further discuss how the concept of vocation is especially appropriate in the context of citizenship. Citizenship is a way of belonging to a community. It is a relationship that requires giving and taking. Service-learning is an ideal way to practice good citizenship on a local scale, and prepare future professionals for understanding their communities and commitments more broadly. We discuss how these concepts are being emphasized in the medical informatics master s degree program at Saint Louis University through the incorporation of a service-learning module. We describe the module, discussing how it can be applied to curricula at other institutions and modified for inclusion in other types of courses. VOCATION Vocation is best understood as a broad concept applicable to all walks of life. It is part of how we identify our roles in the communities we inhabit. Understanding vocation more broadly can influence our views of citizenship by helping us grapple with what it means to contribute to a community. The usual use of the term vocation is narrow: it is generally used to describe religious orders and some of the more ancient 37
2 38 Teaching Ethics, Spring 2010 professions, such as law and medicine. The word vocation comes to English from Latin where it originates in the verb vocare, which means to call. Traditionally, God was understood to be the one doing the calling, and He called entire peoples (e.g. the Israelites) as well as individuals (Schuurman). The contemporary understanding of vocation, on the other hand, is almost entirely focused on individuals-on personal vocation, the feeling a person has of being called to perform a certain task or fill a certain position. Because of the religious nature of situating God as the one who calls, vocation has come, in contemporary parlance, to be commonly associated with religious orders: if one has a vocation, it is to priestly or monastic office, or perhaps to missionary or charitable work (Alphonso). Though religious life is perhaps the most common understanding of vocation, it is not the only one. When not thought of as strictly religious, vocation refers to certain professions such as counseling and medicine (Loxterkamp). These professions have some similar attributes to ministerial work, most significantly a devotion to serving others. The concept of service unites these specific understandings of vocation. In the past few decades, vocation has taken on an even broader meaning. Most importantly, it has come to include the idea of devotion to a pursuit that is especially loved. This cherished pursuit might be a job, or a hobby, or something else one does outside of work. Another important difference is that vocation is not only thought of as a calling from God (Kincaid). The source of the calling is often left purposely vague. These changes in the concept of vocation broaden its usefulness especially for medicine and other non-religious professions. It makes the concept more inclusive, not only of various jobs but also of activities that individuals engage in outside of work. With this brief historical backdrop in mind, we offer a new definition of vocation consistent with how the term is coming to be used in modern contexts and also honoring the concept s ancient roots. On this new understanding, vocation is more than a calling; it is a way of integrating deeply considered life-values with what one does in day-to-day life. In our new definition, vocation means pursuing one s life in a way that honors one s values as holistically conceived and embodied in community life. There are three important concepts in this definition: core values, holism, and community life. Core values are arrived at through reflection. They are revisable, and always applicable to what one is doing. Holism refers to the application or integration of these values into what one is doing. Community life refers to relationships with others that refine and
3 Brown, Wall, Buerck: Vocation & Service-Learning: Fostering Reflection and Citizenship 39 test our values and ultimately, through this process, tell us who we really are. On this understanding, vocation is more than something one tries to discern when deciding what to job to pursue. It is a continuing process that can be started at any time, and that can enrich our lives at any point in their trajectory. It can help us define and modify our goals, and it can help us know when we are on the right track. It also guides us in interactions with our communities. Communities test our values and are the framework in which we define our core values. Vocation is thus more than how we see ourselves individually; it is how we see ourselves as part of something larger and also how others see us and our contributions. This concept of vocation leads to a commitment to bettering community life, since the success of the community is integral to the success of its individual members. An excellent way for students to begin exploring their vocation is to interact with their communities through servicelearning. SERVICE-LEARNING Service-learning has gained significant attention in higher education as an important addition to traditional curricula. According to Jacoby et al., service-learning is a form of experiential education in which students engage in activities that address human and community needs together with structured opportunities intentionally designed to promote student learning and development. (5) Because service-learning has the explicit goal of student learning and development, it goes beyond simple community service. The two essential elements of service-learning that differentiate it from community service are reflection and reciprocity (Jacoby et al.). Reflection in the setting of service-leaning occurs before, during, and after the service activity, and is part of what makes service-learning a perfect activity for students to explore their understanding of vocation through action. It can take many forms: written, oral, within a group, or individually. The key concept in reflection is to engage in a conversation about core values and how they should be applied to the world around us. Before the activity, the focus of reflection is on the goals of the activity and what students hope to learn from it. During the activity, the focus of reflection is on what is being learned and how this activity is helping the community. Finally, after the activity, the focus of reflection is on whether or not the goals were reached and what students learned from the activity. The concept of reciprocity in service-learning emphasizes the
4 40 Teaching Ethics, Spring 2010 role of the people being served in the determination of what the service project should be. By actively engaging members of the community in the determination of the project, participants in the service-learning experience ensure that the needs of the community are defining the services that will be performed. Signon describes five critical elements of thoughtful community service that should be incorporated into every service-learning experience: (1) community voice; (2) orientation and training; (3) meaningful action; (4) reflection; and (5) evaluation. The voice of the community is elicited through the exercise of reciprocity: the solicitation of ideas about what service should be done from community members. The orientation and training is focused on students, giving them information about the community, organization, or agency in which they will be serving. This element is essential in that it provides students with background knowledge that gives them a better understanding of why the project is important and how to define the goals with respect to the individuals being served. The element of meaningful action emphasizes the importance of the service being both necessary and valuable for the community itself. By emphasizing the community voice and orienting the students to the needs of the community, it should follow that the service will be meaningful to the community. Reflection, as discussed above, is an element that should be incorporated into all aspects of the experience. It is essential in moving the project beyond community service to service-learning. The final element, evaluation, should be executed by students and the agencies, organizations or communities that were served. This allows the students to determine how effective the project was in furthering their knowledge, and the agencies, organizations or communities to determine how effective the project was in serving their identified needs. Service-learning allows students to engage in thoughtful community service that puts the concept of vocation into action. Through productive interaction with their communities, students engaged in servicelearning are given the opportunity to reflect upon and revise their core values. The service that students provide to their communities puts core values into action, thereby demonstrating to students how to act holistically. Because service-learning requires students to interact with members of their communities, they learn how to refine and revise their core values through relationships with those around them. Ultimately, servicelearning, when approached though the lens of vocation, encourages students to become engaged and productive citizens.
5 Brown, Wall, Buerck: Vocation & Service-Learning: Fostering Reflection and Citizenship 41 Active citizenship is essential for the maintenance of a strong democracy, and a central aspect of active citizenship is civil engagement (Morgan and Streb). Service-learning encourages students to take an active leadership role in creating projects that engage and involve the surrounding community. By actively engaging students in the community, service-learning fosters the development of students as engaged citizens, both during their college years and beyond. COURSE CONCEPT While in college, many students take advantage of the opportunity to interact with their communities through campus organizations, campus ministry, and national organizations. The service activities that they participate in encourage them to become engaged citizens as they move into their professional lives. Service-learning creates an additional avenue to allow students to serve their communities, while at the same time gaining valuable knowledge. In order to provide students with an opportunity to interact with their community in an environment of mutual learning, we designed an in-class module for an introduction to informatics class. Before describing the module, the following section describes what the field of informatics involves. INFORMATICS Informatics is the multidimensional use of technology to support knowledge discovery and dissemination, assisting the decision maker across a variety of academic disciplines and professional fields. It incorporates the way data is collected, organized, analyzed, represented, filtered and managed. Figure 1 graphically presents the process that informatics uses to combine the interaction of technology with the human and organizational structures to support knowledge discovery, management and dissemination.
6 42 Teaching Ethics, Spring 2010 Health Informatics specifically aims towards improving the utilization of health care-related data, information, and knowledge in order to support health care research, education, and practice. It was the betterment of medical practice that spurred the development of the field of medical informatics. From its inception its purpose has been to integrate data in the service of patients by giving physicians the information they need to make and improve treatment decisions. IF500 - INFORMATICS FOUNDATION COURSE CONTENT IF500 - Informatics Foundations was developed as a primer course for graduate level students entering the professional master s degree program in Health Informatics. The purpose of the course is to introduce students to a survey of technology topics, organizational topics and the social aspects of informatics relationship to today s environment. The course provides a multidisciplinary-based introduction to the informatics principles that support knowledge discovery and dissemination - the ways data is collected, organized, analyzed, represented, managed, filtered and communicated. Selected topics include basic information representation, processing and analysis; organizational informatics; current applications and trends in informatics; legal issues in informatics; the roles and responsibilities of informatics professionals; and informatics impact on the evolution of society.
7 Brown, Wall, Buerck: Vocation & Service-Learning: Fostering Reflection and Citizenship 43 IN-CLASS MODULE The in-class module that we designed begins with an interactive lecture. This lecture has two components. The first is an introduction to the concept of vocation and how it ties into medical informatics. Much of the material covered in the beginning of this paper is included in this lecture. The lectures are designed to be interactive so as to engage students in critically assessing the concept, and thereby increasing the effectiveness of the learning experience. The lecture on vocation concludes with an introduction to ethical case analysis. These cases are a way to apply the concept of vocation specifically to medical informatics. The cases involve dilemmas that medical informatics professionals could realistically encounter in their careers. The values that clash in these cases are presented as core values and thus directly related to vocation. The second part of the lecture is an introduction to service-learning. It describes service-learning, differentiating it from community service and discussing the essential elements it entails. It then situates the concept of service-learning within the mission of Saint Louis University and the five dimensions of the Saint Louis University experience: (1) scholarship and knowledge, (2) intellectual inquiry and communication; (3) community building; (4) leadership and service; and (5) spirituality and values ( Five Dimensions ). In the lecture, students are asked to reflect on how service-learning can be a part of each dimension of the Saint Louis University experience. The lecture concludes with a discussion of the service-learning proposal assignment. By using an example service-learning project that incorporates medical informatics and community service, it illustrates the specific goal of the proposal as the development of a service-learning project that uses the skills of the medical informatics professional to respond to the needs of the community and engage in active citizenship. ON-LINE RESOURCES The in-class lectures on vocation and service-learning became independent modules by recording them using Wimba. Wimba is a complete collaborative learning system that includes the ability to stream live, record, archive and publish traditional classroom lectures, discussions and demonstrations. The recorded lectures were then made available online via BlackBoard to students for review and reference purposes. In
8 44 Teaching Ethics, Spring 2010 addition, the recorded Wimba lectures will be incorporated into future sections of the Informatics Foundations course. SERVICE-LEARNING ASSIGNMENT As part of the vocation and service-learning module, students were divided into groups of 3 to 5 and asked to develop a service-learning proposal. This proposal was designed to have students reflect on their personal and professional values, and develop a plan for how to integrate them into their communities through service related to the profession of medical informatics. The seven questions that students answered in their proposals are shown in Table 1, along with guidance questions that directed students in each section of the proposal. Describe the proposed service-learning project. What is the mission of the organization you will be partnering with? How does the project reflect this mission? What are the needs of the community and how were they identified? How does this project serve the needs of the community? What service or service-learning projects does the organization currently participate in and what will be different with the implementation of the proposed project? Does it meet a different community need? Does is meet a community need differently?. How does the proposed service-learning project embody the concepts, goals or priorities of the course and of Saint Louis University? How does it incorporate the essential elements of service-learning? How does it integrate informatics and service-learning? Which of the five dimensions of the SLU experience does this activity address? How does it address these dimensions? Briefly describe the setting(s) in which the proposed servicelearning project will occur. Where will the project be done? Where will the project be implemented? How will the community and/or organization be involved, taking into account the setting of the project?
9 Brown, Wall, Buerck: Vocation & Service-Learning: Fostering Reflection and Citizenship 45 Provide a timeline for the completion of and implementation of the proposed service-learning project and discuss its feasibility. How much time does the group have to dedicate to the project? What does the group need from the organization and/or community and how much time is needed for this? What expenses would there be for service-learning project and its eventual implementation? Please explain thoroughly. Is this project supported by any other resources? Please describe. Do you need to buy any materials for this project? Are there costs associated with implementing or maintaining the project? How will you evaluate the efficacy of this program? What are the goals? How will you determine if each goal has been met? Table 1: Service-learning proposal questions. Questions in bold are found on the proposal template. Bulleted questions are guides for students in answering the bolded questions. VOCATION AND SERVICE-LEARNING IN HIGHER EDUCATION Vocation can be put into action through service-learning in higher education. While the course module described in this paper was designed, for a health informatics course, these concepts are not specific to health informatics, particularly the idea of vocation as a process of reflection and value-integration and service-learning as a means to promoting active citizenship. The development of the understanding of vocation explored in this paper applies across the academic disciplines. We submit this new definition of vocation and its relation to service for others to comment on, improve, and incorporate into different settings. The addition of a broad concept of vocation into service-learning across academic disciplines will challenge students to engage with their communities in new and fulfilling ways, becoming more active citizens. Vocation and service-learning can be integrated into any curriculum, as our module in the Saint Louis University health Informatics course illustrates. Vocation, by the definition offered in this paper, is important to any walk of life. Because school is a particularly good time to reflect on values, especially as new ones are being learned, it is appropriate to address vocation explicitly in the curriculum. One way to introduce and foster a commitment to active citizenship is through service-learning projects.. Because many universities are already equipped to facilitate ser-
10 46 Teaching Ethics, Spring 2010 vice-learning experiences, service-learning is a practical and effective method for exposing students to the idea of thoughtful community service, and fostering a commitment to active citizenship through service as they move into their professional careers. This paper demonstrates that service-learning can easily be incorporated into any course as a means of encouraging students to engage in thoughtful interactions with their communities, building and refining their values, and becoming engaged citizens.

Commercial Roofing Services
Our Inland Empire commercial roofing services are unmatched for reliability and workmanship. We use only the top quality materials for commercial roof installation and repair.
TPO Single Ply Roof Systems (Manufacturer warranted)
TPO membrane roofing is the most prominent type of commercial flat roofing system. It is white vinyl roofing, comes in rolls, and is mechanically applied, screwed down to the roofing deck. A single-ply, TPO membrane roofing system is the recommended replacement for hot tar, hot mop, built up and torch down commercial roofs.
PVC Membrane Roofing Systems
PVC's installation process is similar to TPO, and PVC roofing holds up better to chemical abuse than does TPO on low slope roofs. Call us for a free, commercial roof budget estimate.
Metal Roof Systems
Metal roofs are a unique alternative to TPO/PVC membrane roofing systems. Options include standing seam metal roof systems in a variety of colors and finishes.
Commercial Maintenance Programs (Scheduled or Single Trips Available)
SRC typically checks and cleans commercial flat roofs twice a year, in March and November. Drains frequently become clogged with debris and need cleaning. Commercial Maintenance Programs with their regular inspections can also determine the need for updated insulation.
Polyiso Rigid Insulation
Polyiso rigid insulation is a low-cost, long-life product that is only replaced when a roof is replaced. Spokane Roofing assures that new insulation meets all code requirements.
Dedicated Leak Response Division
Spokane Roofing maintains a 24-hour emergency response hotline linked to key company personnel, if your roof requires immediate repairs.
Existing Roof Repair, Recover, Replacement (Re Roof), Demolition and Asbestos Abatement
Roofs repairs are cheaper than replacement, so proactive maintenance is a wise strategy. Recovering your roof is the next best option, because it leaves the existing roof in place, saving time and money. If your roof must be replaced, Spokane Roofing has the experience and expertise to do the job right. If asbestos is found, SRC is fully certified in Asbestos Abatement during the roof demolition process.
Extend Metal Roof Life With Coatings and Retrofits
Spokane Roofing uses roof coatings to extend the lives of metal roof systems. To seal leaks around grommets, SRC applies Henry® and Karnak® aluminum roof coatings, or GAF Topcoat, a fluid-based rubber system. When sealants are not enough, retrofitting a commercial metal roof with TPO is a cost-effective alternative to replacing the entire metal roof.
Manufacturer Warranty Work
Manufacturer Warranty Work Spokane Roofing Company maintains commercial roofing contractor certifications with premier roofing manufacturers, including GAF, Versico Roofing Systems, Firestone Building Products and FiberTite®.
Sheet Metal Flashings, Copings And Gutters
Every roof has eave edges and terminations. Spokane Roofing has an in-house metal shop to fabricate flashings and copings for commercial TPO roof systems. SRC is able to custom-bend flashings to meet all applications.
Public Works Projects
Spokane Roofing Company has completed public works projects for Spokane Public Schools, the Army Corps of Engineers, the United States Air Force, Spokane Veterans Administration Hospital, Idaho Department of Transportation and Grant County International Airport (funded by the FAA).
Roof Cleaning and Inspection
Roof inspections are about prevention and detection. It is important to identify damage to vulnerable TPO roofing systems. If left unrepaired, TPO roof punctures can compromise an entire roofing system, including rigid insulation.
Roof Snow Removal and Ice Dams (Maintenance Customers Receive First Priority)
Maintaining free-flowing drains on a flat roof is critical. Freezes can be disastrous, creating pools, which can in turn cause a roof to collapse. Keeping your roof clear of snow and ice is an absolute necessity. Learn more about the benefits of Roof Snow Removal and pitfalls of Ice Dams.
Gutter, Soffit, and Fascia Installation
Spokane Roofing Company provides aluminum and steel soffits at roof perimeters and eave edges, especially in conjunction with commercial TPO roofing systems. Older soffits may leak or rust, eventually needing replacement.
Insurance Work
Spokane Roofing Company works with local emergency response crews, typically Servpro® and ServiceMaster®, when same-day response is necessary. Insurance claims adjustors join with SRC and business owners in this process.
Commercial/Business Roofing Projects

The indwelling Spirit can fill the Disciple with this content; teaching me the Word in an understanding way to know more and more of the love and glory of Jesus, B guidance, C bringing Jesus glory by telling me whatever He receives from Jesus, D the fruit of the Spirit- "love, joy peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control", F strength, G the Spirit also helps us in our weakness, because we do not know what to pray for as we should, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with unspoken groanings, H conviction of sin, I and the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. II J
Be filled by the Spirit all the time.
Notes: A- not used; B- John 14:26; C- John 16:13, D- John 16:14; E- not used; F- Galatians 5:22-23b; G- Ephesians 3:16; H- Romans 8:26; I- John 16:13b "He will guide you into all truth" I believe this includes convicting the believer of the truth of their sin. II- 1 Corinthians 2:12.
J- My pastor Dr. Heath Lambert believes that the phrase should be translated "be filled by the Spirit" for 3 reasons. [1] There is no reason in grammar or translation to interpret the verse as "be filled with the Spirit" where the Spirit is the content of the filling. [2] It seems odd that Paul calls for more and more Spirit fillings, given that the Disciple is filled with the Spirit at salvation, and [3] this is the only place in scripture we are told we need more fillings of the Spirit. It is not impossible for a theology to be based on one scripture, but it would be unusual when there is another more simple way to interpret the passage. From "A Theology of Biblical Counseling" by Dr. Heath Lambert. Pages 169-171. To order click here.
The other option is Ephesians 5:18c "be filled with the Spirit" NASB, NIV, NLT & ESV. The content of the filling is the Spirit in these and other translations.
I have often studied and meditated as to the meaning of the last phrase in Ephesians 5:18 "be filled with the Spirit". The Bible clearly teaches the Disciple receives the Holy Spirit when saved, so why do we need further filling. The explanation has been at salvation we are indwelled by the Holy Spirit but need a daily filling or to be controlled by the Spirit. I could never quite understand how I could be controlled by the Holy Spirit and yet have a free will.

Protease inhibitors are enzymes that inhibit the actions of proteases, which are certain enzymes that kill proteins within the cells. There are several proteases that target different proteins. Therefore, to preserve the functionality of proteins after the cell lysis, a combination, or cocktail, of protease inhibitors is used. These are available in solution, tablet or powder form.
Protease Inhibitors
Make Aprotinin, Leupeptin and Pepstatin at stock concentraions of 100uM (MicroMolar).
Aprotinin is available in solution form at a stock concentration of 100mM. To make 1 ml (milliliters) of 100uM, dissolve 1ul (microlitre) in 999ul of the 1X PBS (Physiological Buffer Solution).
Sciencing Video Vault
Leupeptin is available as a powder. Molecular weight of Leupeptin is 475.6. Dissolve 100ug (micrograms) of powder in 2ml of water to make stock concentration of 100uM.
To make Pepstatin, dissolve 100ug of powder pepstatin in 1.45 ml of water to make a stock concentration of 100uM.
All these can be either mixed together or stored individually at minus 80 degrees Celsius.
Make PMSF (Phenylmethyl sulfonyl fluoride) at stock 100mM. PMSF comes in the powder form. The molecular weight of PMSF is 174.19. Dissolve 10mg of PMSF in 572 ul of 100 percent ethanol and store at 4 degrees Celsius. It is light sensitive and shall be stored in dark.
This is added to the lysis buffer just before use.
Mix the proteases together at the required concentrations. Generally they are diluted by a factor of 100 for use.
Commercially available cocktails of protease inhibitors save time and are easy to use. They come in the form of tablets or solutions.

For Mother's Day, we shared with you a clever ad campaign that emphasized how hard being a mom can be. This week, with Father's Day still on our minds, we want to acknowledge the importance of our dads as well.
Dove Men+Care is giving fathers more credit than usual in their newest advertisement. The minute-long video is a compilation of 28 short clips showing fathers coming to their children's call. Entitled "Calls for Dads," the ad is an adorable representation of the memories many of us have with our fathers. It brings to mind the nostalgia of being thrown high in the air at the pool, snuggling after a bad dream, or embarrassing kisses during proud-parent moments.
The sparsely-portrayed sentimental nature of fatherhood is captured perfectly by Dove. And this can be attributed in large part to the plentiful research conducted before planning the advertisement. Dove hired Edelman Berland, a company specializing in global market research and strategic consulting, to dive into the Dove Men+Care target market prior to creating the campaign. Their results: Of the one thousand 25-54 year old dads surveyed, 75 percent believed they played a major role in their child's emotional well-being. However, only 20 percent saw it in the media. They also found that men spend almost twice as much time on YouTube than women, spurring the decision to make the highlight of the campaign a video.
Dove used Edelman Berland's data to create a heart-warming piece of advertising that fights against two stereotypes at once: Caring for children is not a task of which only women are capable, and men need skin care products too. In the end, let's hope at least one parent or child decided to give the gift of soft skin for Father's Day.

Sitamarhi: Police on Tuesday fired in the air when supporters of a block pramukh clashed with securitymen and made abortive attempts to snatch their weapons in Sitamarhi district, police said.
Two persons, including a woman, who were injured in the clash at Parsauni, were admitted to a government hospital, the police said.
Soon after Rajnikant was re-elected as Parsauni Block Pramukh (head) for the second consecutive term, a police team reached the spot and tried to execute an arrest warrant pending against him in a criminal case, the police said.
Rajnikant`s supporters clashed with policemen and some people in the crowd made abortive attempts to snatch weapons from policemen, the police said. Police resorted to baton-charge before firing seven rounds in the air to disperse the mob as the situation
had gone beyond control, the police claimed.
Police patrolling was intensified as tension ran high in the area

Half Term
Half Term – a breather for us and a chance to go and see our younger daughter at university. We had fortunately already decided to go on the Tuesday, so thereby avoided the storm on the Monday. Definitely wouldn't have wanted to be towing a caravan in that wind!
For daughter, self catering, it was a welcome opportunity to be fed each day and to have transport to Asda to stock up. As it turned out, it also meant being able to have hot showers! Heating in her house (campus-based university accommodation) has been erratic, but all of a sudden there was no hot water either. In fact the 12 of them in the house were without hot water for a whole week. Since we returned the heating has again been erratic (just as the temperatures have plummeted) and then last night I got a text to say they suspected a gas leak and that they were awaiting someone to come and fix it. Thus ensued a few more texts along the lines of "don't cook, don't switch the light on/off, open a window…" before gas repair man arrived and fixed the leak.
Our elder daughter had none of this sort of excitement in her first year – she was always sitting there in a T shirt whenever we skyped. Is our younger daughter unlucky with her accommodation? Have you come across these sort of ongoing difficulties?
Anyway, we had a lovely few days and we reckon she is doing really well, academically, socially and looking after herself. It's a big thing for any of them, really, isn't it? She's still doing the rounds of churches, but had enjoyed the recent CU weekend away.
And so back to college, where we're up to our eyes in this year's university applications. The cycle continues…
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! 2 Cor 5:17

Pride of Pakistan – Majid Jahangir Khan
by MairaS on August 31, 2010
in Sports in Pakistan
Majid Khan; a brilliant batsman from Pakistan made his debut against Australia in Karachi in 1964. His father Jahangir Khan used to play cricket for India .Majid's cousins Imran Khan and Javed Burki were also cricketers.
Majid Khan began his career as a pace bowler but back injury and a dubious bowling technique turned him into an occasional off-spinner and a batsman. Now more focused on batting, Majid Khan soon became brilliant with the bat. He came into limelight when he hit 5 sixes in an over off the bowling of Roger Davis of Glamorgon. He faced the fast bowlers comfortably and one of his career best performances is against the West Indies (1976-77). Majid Khan scored 530 runs in 5 tests in that particular series against an intimidating West Indies team. His highest score in that series was 167 runs in the Georgetown test and he also managed to take 4 wickets for 45 runs in that particular test. Majid Khan played for a couple of English counties, Queensland Australia and domestic teams like PIA, Rawalpindi and Punjab. His best ODI performance was 109 runs against England at Oval in 1974.
Majid Khan used to open the innings for Pakistan along with Sadiq Mohammad; together the couple gave a stable start to the team. Majid Khan played a total of 63 tests for Pakistan and scored 3931 runs (8 centuries) at an average of 38.92. Hid ODI figures are 786 runs in 23 matches with an average of 37.42. Majid Khan has an impressive first class record of more than 27,000 runs with 73 centuries and 128 fifties.
The Khan family became the second after the Headleys (from West Indies) to have three generations of test cricketers when Majid's son Bazid Khan made his test debut in 2005. Although retired Majid is still actively involved in cricket.
Pride of Pakistan – Imtiaz Ahmed
Imtiaz Ahmed was also a member of the first ever cricket team of Pakistan. Born and educated in Lahore, Imtiaz showed interest in cricket from a very early age. In those days there was no concept of coaching; natural talent, lots of practice, tough competition at school and college level and guidance from seniors nurtured the young talent.
Imtiaz Ahmed was the first wicketkeeper of Pakistan. He was also a hard hitter of the ball with hook shots his forte. Imtiaz was a compulsive striker of the ball; a habit which cost him his wicket many times when his score was in 90s.
World records and Imtiaz Ahmed go hand in hand. He was the first wicketkeeper ever to score a double century, he holds the record of 7 catches in the match against England at the Oval in 1954, and he was also the first Asian cricketer to score a triple century against an international team. The double century against New Zealand set many records, the first wicketkeeper to score a test double, the highest eighth wicket partnership and the highest number of runs scored by a no. 8 batsman. His triple century came against the Commonwealth side which was touring India in 1951. Imtiaz was then a part of the Indian Prime Minister XI.
Imtiaz Ahmed could bat at any position from opener to number 8. He played 41 test matches for Pakistan and scored a total of 2079 runs averaging at 29.28. He took 77 catches behind the wickets and stumped 16 players.
After retiring from cricket, Imtiaz served as an administrator in the PAF School of Physical Fitness in Peshawar. He also coached the women's cricket team which defeated West Indies and Sri Lanka. Imtiaz Ahmed was bestowed the prestigious Pride of Performance award in 1966.
Pride of Pakistan – Wasim Hasan Raja
Wasim Hasan Raja was a Pakistani cricketer known for his stylish batting and bowling.
Born in Multan on 3rd July 1952, Raja had a Master's Degree in political science. Cricket was a family affair as his father and his brother Zaeem Raja were first class cricketers. His younger brother Rameez Raja now a commentator was also a part of the Pakistan cricket team.
Wasim Raja captained the Pakistan under-19side during his college days. Raja was a fearless left handed middle order batsman and was never intimidated by any bowler. If a bouncer was thrown at him, it was hit for a boundary. Runs came freely to this stylish stroke player. He was also leg spinner and some of his victims were great names of his time.
Though Raja has delivered match winning performance both with the bat and the ball, his career best innings came against the West Indies. West Indies at that time (1976-77) totally dominated the cricket scene and often made a quick job of their opponents. Raja scored a century in both innings of the first test which ended in a draw. Raja was the top scorer for Pakistan with 517 runs at an average of 57.4. He also took 7 wickets and hit 14 sixes; a record though equaled but not broken to date. Wasim's record against West Indies is one of the best in the world.
Wasim Raja was unfortunately the victim of dressing room politics and was often left out of the team. After retiring from cricket, Wasim Raja obtained a certificate in education from Durham University and pursued a career in teaching at the Caterham School. He settled in England after marrying an English lady. Wasim Raja remained involved with cricket one way or the other. He coached the Pakistan's Under 19 team, served as ICC match referee from 2002 to 2004 and played for the English county Surrey. It was during a match over-50 side that he suffered a fatal heart attack and died in 2006. Overall Raja played 57 tests and 54 ODIs for Pakistan.
Pride of Pakistan – Nazar Mohammad
Nazar Mohammad was one of those cricketers who formed the first ever cricket team of Pakistan. Nazar Mohammad opened the innings for Pakistan and was the first Pakistani batsman to score a century.
Nazar Mohammad was a cricket prodigy, still a school student, he displayed great potential and by the time he reached college, he had established himself as an indispensable opening batsman. He was also an agile fielder in the gully area.
Before the creation of Pakistan, Nazar Mohammad participated in many prestigious championships such as the Ranji Trophy, the Bombay Pentangular etc. The Bombay Pentangular was played between the various communities of India; Nazar Mohammad represented the Muslims and also played a vital role in their victory with his sensational century.
Nazar Mohammad had become a vital team member and displayed his batting prowess against foreign teams including the invincible West Indies. Finally Pakistan was granted Test Status in 1952 and the first country it visited was India. Nazar Mohammad faced the first ball in the test played at Delhi. In the second test, Nazar scored a century becoming the first centurion for Pakistan, carried his bat and remained on the field through out the test. Pakistan won this test but lost the series 2-1.
The illustrious career of Nazar Mohammad came to a tragic end when he broke his arm. His son Mudassar Nazar carried on his legacy. Nazar Mohammad later served Pakistan Cricket as a selector, coach and was also famous for his commentary.
Nazar Mohammad passed away on 12th July 1996 at the age of 75.
Pride of Pakistan – Javed Miandad
Javed Miandad is the most prolific batsman Pakistan has produced. Miandad was born in 1957 in Karachi where he received his early education. Miandad's cricketing career began in 1975 from an ODI match against West Indies. The following year, he made his test debut from a series against New Zealand. Miandad scored a century in his very first test match and later scored a double century in the same series. Honor and a world record (youngest player ever to achieve a 100 and a test double) cemented his position in the team. From then onwards Miandad has entertained the cricket lovers all over the world with his classy shots. He played all over the field with reverse sweep and square cuts being his favorite shots.
Miandad was a genius; he knew how to score runs under any circumstances and on every type of pitch. He has won many matches for Pakistan. As long as he was on the pitch, Pakistan had a chance of victory even though circumstances suggested otherwise. He kept his cool and analyzed the areas where runs could be scored. The six he hit at Sharjah against India immortalized him. Miandad was also a fast runner and stole cheeky singles. He also saved a lot of boundaries and was often called "a panther in the field".
Miandad has many records to his credit. He scored six double centuries and has the highest number of fifties in ODI. He scored 23 centuries and 43 half centuries in his test career spanning over 17 years. He is the only player to have made 6 appearances in 6 consecutive World Cup Tournament.
Miandad also served as the coach of Pakistan cricket team a three times after retiring as a player. Miandad was one of the Wisden Cricketers of the year in 1982. He is ranked 44th among the best cricketers of all times by the ESPN Legend of Cricket. Miandad's name is also in the Hall of Fame at Lords.
Pride of Pakistan – Imran Khan Niazi
Imran Khan is one of the finest cricketers of Pakistan. He has the honor of bringing the World Cup home in 1992 as he was the captain of the victorious team.
Imran Khan was basically a fast bowler; his association with the Australian Kerry Packers honed his bowling skills and speed. Imran later perfected his batting and in the later stage of his career emerged as an all-rounder; deadly with the ball, lethal with the bat. He could effectively swing the ball and deliver deadly bouncers to scare his opponents. With Imran on one end and fellow fast bowler Sarfraz Nawaz at the other, Pakistan always stood a chance of a comprehensive victory.
Although Imran has bowled well throughout his career but captaincy brought out the best in him. He is one of the most successful captains of Pakistan. Under his captaincy, Pakistan won the series against England on the English soil with Imran Khan excelling with 10 wickets for 77 runs in the decisive Healingley match. Pakistan managed to draw series against West Indies who at that time annihilated their opponents completely. His team was also victorious against arch rivals India on many occasions. The climax of Imran's career remains the victory in the 1992 World Cup Tournament. Pakistan emerged as underdogs to clinch the crystal trophy. Imran Khan announced his retirement from cricket after the World Cup and concentrated on the building of a cancer charity hospital; the Shaukat Khanum Memorial Hospital named after his mother who lost her life battling against the deadly disease.
Imran Khan was always in the news for some reason or the other. His charismatic personality won him many female fans. Imran married an English girl half his age in 1995. The couple had two sons but sadly could not live happily ever after mostly due to the yawning cultural gap between the two.
Imran has received Hilal-i-Imtiaz (Pakistani civilian award), the President's Pride of Performance Award and many other awards and honors. He has been inducted in the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame and stands 8th on the list of all time greats of the ESPN Legends of Cricket. Imran is one of the eight all-rounders of the world to have achieved the Triple in Tests matches with 3807 runs and 362wickets.
Imran Khan later turned to politics and launched Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf, a political party with the aim of redressing the grievances of the Pakistani people.

Quick Reference
A client/server system originally developed at MIT in the 1980s to allow a workstation, running under UNIX and equipped with keyboard, screen, and mouse, to support an interactive graphics environment.
A window is a rectangular area on the display screen whose position, size, and contents can be controlled by an application. There may be many applications active at any one time, and each application may have more than one window active at any one time. Windows are created, managed, and closed down by requests from the applications or clients, to a server, the windows manager.
The definition of the X Windows system covers both the behavior of the windows manager, and the form and content of messages that pass between the windows manager and the client applications. The windows manager and the client applications may either coexist on a single workstation (typically a small UNIX system), or some of the client applications may reside on other systems connected by a network to the workstation that runs the windows manager. Somewhat confusingly, some of the client applications may well run on a server; for example an application requiring the completion of an extensive arithmetic calculation.

SUZANNE'S WORLD is the new all-encompassing umbrella for features, blogs and interviews either new or archived on my website. It is also the new home of what was Melville News.
Above: The pin board in my office is a collage of of my world...
For a long time I've been searching for a name that immediately conveys, but doesn't limit, the scope of editorial content I publish on my website. As simple a task as one may think it to be, I have rejected every suggestion for not meeting those criteria. "What's in a name?" asked more than one friend, echoing Juliet in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. ("What's in a name? that which we call a rose by any other name would smells as sweet," says Juliet in a passage reflecting her wishful thinking.)
As Juliet discovered, there's a lot in a name, and in my case, the perfect solution wasn't presenting itself. Suzanne's World is an honest and broad attempt to to capture the spirit of this page. As the pin board reveals, in my case it is a personal if somewhat random collection of people and places in my professional and private life, which is intended to be symbolic.
It is here too where colleagues and friends will be encouraged to share their original, thought-provoking and entertaining words to engage readers old and new.
And now that I have settled on Suzanne's World, I hope to give up stressing about names and to get on with the writing. I'm working towards forming partnerships with other sites, which will provide yet more options for the short-attention-span age in which we find ourselves.
I'm happy to say that the launch of this new segment coincides with a feature and an extended paragraph (I'm being facetious) from John Miller, an old friend and colleague who lives in Wales... but let him tell his own stories.
Welcome to my world.
