Permanent Deaconate
The Permanent Diaconate/Mission of the Diaconate
The service of deacons in the Church is documented from apostolic times, and has always been held in high esteem. The diaconate, like the sacred orders of the episcopate and the presbyterate, has very clear theological roots in the person and the ministry of Jesus, who reminds the disciples that, although he is Lord and Master (Jn 13:13), he is among them 'as one who serves' (Lk 22:27).
The role of the deacon in the early centuries of the Church was directly associated with that of the bishop. Deacons preached the gospel, prepared the gifts to be offered at the altar and brought the Eucharist to the people. Up to the fifth century the diaconate flourished in the western Church, but after this period, it experienced, for various reasons, a slow decline which ended in its surviving only as an intermediate stage for candidates preparing for priestly ordination.
The restoration of the permanent diaconate was decided upon by the Second Vatican Council with the resolution that 'it will be possible for the future to restore the diaconate as a proper and permanent rank of the hierarchy'. The diaconate, in so far as it is a grade of sacred orders, confers a character and communicates specific sacramental grace. The deacon, because of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, signified by the imposition of hands by the bishop and the prayer of consecration, exercises a service of the people of God. It falls to the bishop as pastor of the diocesan Church to determine the pastoral tasks of the deacons, and to supervise in a special way the pastoral cooperation between deacons and priests, who together must collaborate with the bishop.
The Discernment of Vocations
The vocation to the diaconate comes from the call of God. Candidates for the permanent diaconate must be persons who are proven to have:
a good general familiarity with the Gospel, and a reasonable understanding of the Church's mission
a well founded spirituality and sacramental life
a capacity to read and to listen, intelligently and critically
an established capacity to engage and to work constructively with others
a significant level of personal freedom, and the absence of any significant compulsions or addictions
a love of the Church
a proven readiness to serve others, even at some personal cost.
The discernment of the authenticity of a person's vocation to the permanent diaconate is the responsibility of the diocesan bishop. The fact that somebody aspires to the permanent diaconate does not in itself guarantee that he will be selected.
Ordination to the permanent diaconate may be conferred on celibate men or on married men.
The minimum age for admission to the permanent diaconate is twenty-five years for a celibate candidate, and thirty-five years for a married candidate. The maximum age is sixty years.
When an applicant for the diaconate is a married man, he must have the consent of his wife, and have been already married for at least five years.
The Formation of Deacons
The Basic Norms for the Formation of Permanent Deacons envisages a formation programme of at least three years duration, prior to which the candidate will have completed a propaedeutic period under the guidance of a director of formation who will make a recommendation to the bishop regarding the suitability of the candidate.

Congress could cap stepped up basis in tax reform package.
Prospects are good for repeal of the estate tax in a comprehensive tax reform package according to Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) , but there could be an offset in the form of a cap on stepped up basis.
"There's a possible compromise that the stepped up basis would be kept for people with an estate value of under $10.8 million," Grassley told AgriTalk Radio host Mike Adams.
Stepped up basis allows generations inheriting an estate to set the new basis value of that estate at current market value without paying additional tax on the gain.
Grassley said he expects a tax reform bill to be on the president's desk by Thanksgiving.
USDA nominees, meanwhile, should expect a quick confirmation in the Senate according to Grassley with the exception of Sam Clovis. USDA deputy secretary nominee Steve Censky and undersecretary for trade and agricultural affairs nominee Ted McKinney will appear before the Senate Agriculture Committee on Tuesday. Grassley predicted their quick approval. He also said Iowa Ag Secretary Bill Northey will have smooth sailing in his nomination for USDA Under Secretary of Farm Production and Conservation. A confirmation hearing for Northey has not yet been set. Nor has a hearing been set for Sam Clovis, the controversial nominee for USDA under secretary for research, education and economics. Grassley told AgriTalk that with Senator Chuck Schumer opposing Clovis' nomination and a long list of agricultural groups voicing support, it will likely come down to a party line vote. When asked if there would be enough Republican votes to approve Clovis, Grassley responded, "There ought to be, but with what happened on health care reform in August and coming up one vote short, I don't what to promise you anything."

Last fall was a breakthrough season for head coach Bob Surace '90 and the Princeton football team. The Tigers' fast-paced offense shattered the school record for points en route to an 8-2 record and a share of the Ivy League title in Surace's fourth season at the helm. With most of its offensive stars returning, Princeton was voted the favorite in this year's Ivy race, with Harvard close behind and Dartmouth, the only Ivy team to beat the Tigers in 2013, ranked third. Below, PAW takes a brief look at the season ahead by highlighting some of the players to watch.
Surace, offensive coordinator James Perry, and a handful of players agree: Running back Dré Nelson '16 is poised to be the next big thing for Princeton. Nelson is just 5 feet, 5 inches tall and 175 pounds, but he has a sprinter's speed and a knack for slipping through tight spaces. In practice, Surace said, "It seems like every day he does something special." Tiger fans saw a glimpse of Nelson's potential in last year's Yale game, when he rushed for 77 yards and two touchdowns.
When the Tigers take the field against San Diego Sept. 20, defensive back Khamal Brown '16 will see his first game action since 2012, when he suffered an aneurism during a midseason practice and was forced to sit out for a year and a half. It's been a long road back, and Brown's teammates are happy to see him in pads instead of in the coaches' booth, where he charted the Tigers' movements last fall. "He has a great understanding of what our defense is all about," co-defensive coordinator Jim Salgado said.
Co-captain and 2014 Ivy Offensive Player of the Year Quinn Epperly '15 remains the most compelling player in the Princeton lineup, with an accurate passing arm, a powerful running style, and an unparalleled ability to find the end zone. What can he do for an encore? Become a better pocket passer, he said. Surace and Perry think Epperly is well on his way, thanks in part to the Tigers' defensive backs, who challenge the Princeton quarterbacks in practice.
Princeton's 2013 defensive-line rotation featured an NFL draft pick (Caraun Reid '14, now of the Detroit Lions), two other senior starters, and one senior backup, leaving plenty of openings to fill this year. Surace anticipates that the Tigers will use a deeper rotation — eight or nine players — and as of early September, the depth chart featured Ty Desire '17, Dan Dreher '16, and Evan Kappatos '16 in the starting roles. … The Tiger offense will be looking for a replacement to Roman Wilson '14 on its various end-around running plays, a key component of Perry's attack. Perry acknowledged that he's been auditioning players to find who has the speed, vision, and strength to run those plays, but he declined to name the top candidates.
This version of PAW's football preview has been updated to correct an error in the listing of Princeton's all-time leading receivers.
A good start, but not enough. I'd like to see a fuller review of each unit of the team and rate the freshmen as well.
Like your new format, but where do I go to get an update on the football game scores this fall? Our papers out on the coast aren't too friendly in covering anything but the Pac 12.
Thanks, Art. PAW publishes a weekly sports column recapping the weekend on Monday mornings at http://blogs.princeton.edu/paw (beginning Sept. 22). You can also read football news on the Princeton Athletics website, http://www.goprincetontigers.com, and the football program's blog, http://blog.princetontigersfootball.com.
We've added radio, TV, and online video broadcasts to the schedule above. Thanks, Scott.
WANT MORE!!! Plus would like to see the incoming freshman class reviewed!!!

A lot of people were surprised to find out that the state was offering a tax-free weekend after Thanksgiving -- for guns. Even happy gun-store owners had not realized that the Legislature had chosen to single them out for a business-booster.
South Carolina has far too many exemptions, they often serve no clear state goal -- and often are at odds with our state's values -- and our Legislature is embarrassingly promiscuous about handing out more. This gun weekend is just the latest. ... But pretty much all the gimmicky special-interest tax breaks are bad, and ought to be repealed.

Discussion in 'General' started by Hans, Jul 8, 2006.
I am very busy with improving Dutch language support for ISPConfig.
Although i have translated the whole Interface to Dutch by changing the nl.lng files, i am not satisfied yet.
Reason for this is that the Form designer is not translated into any language except English.
(Changing the language within ISPConfig seems not to affect the Form designer).
I would like to translate the whole Form designer too, so can you tell me where the files are located?
Please let me know, in the mean time i go further with the manuals, which is a lot of work..but it will be really nice!
The Form designer has no language files yet, so it can not be translated.
I've written the form designer originally for internal use only (in german), the translated it to english as we released ISPConfig to open source but it does not use templates or language files yet.
Now i do not have to search anymore.
I will mention this in my readme file for the Dutch language pack to ovoid questions about this point.
If there are language files available for it in the future i will take care for the translation in Dutch.

Orthodromy, feminine, noun
— author: Ann Epoudry, artist-researcher, France
Ann Epoudry
Orthodromy is a term derived from the Greek orthodromeîn, meaning to run in a straight line. It defines the shortest route a ship can take to get from one point to another. This route follows the arc of the globe. On the sea, free of geographical obstacles, the orthodrome is theoretically the most simple route.
On the widest part of the Mediterranean, from Montfalcone in Italy to Marsa El Brega in Libya, from the northern point located at about 45°79'38"N-13°54'60"E to the southern confines determined at about 30°27'14"N-19°19'48"E, this route measures 1600 km, nearly 864 nautical miles.
A possible orthodrome.
Navigation on the Mediterranean, even on " uncertain waves " 1, played a primordial role for all the societies that populated its shores, as geography books have long stated. "Without this connecting sea (…) ; without
this great mediating agent (…) which carries the boats and distributes the wealth, that connects peoples with each other, (…) we would have remained in primitive barbarism" 2. The Mediterranean "has always been the great road of the civilization it brought to its residents" 3. From Nador to Marseille, from Alicante to Algiers, from Haifa to Syracuse. Onboard triremes, dromonds, cogs, carracks, cargo ships, ferries…Orthodromy, already. Today, the crossing of this sea has become a last resort for thousands of people seeking to flee the hardships they face in their own countries, the "only option available to those demanding refuge" 4.
In the media, often by way of garish map displays, these maritime routes are represented by simple arrows drawn from a few coastal towns in Morocco or Libya, for example, vaguely situated on the Mediterranean coast. These laconic expressions, denounced by a few geographers 5, give the false impression of a flow that is at once easy, continuous and invasive.
Yet, the Mediterranean sea is now6 "a limit (…), as impassable as a wall" . Perhaps it deserves, more than ever,
the name "tear", used by the geographer Max Sorre in 1934, which recalls the violent process of its geological formation, through "cuts, dislocation, stretching, great subsidence, tearing, stretching, tightening and other accidents" 7. It was born through a tormented history which still continues. For, from now on, simply crossing the "medius terrae", the sea in the middle, "between two places, (…) intermediate, that is also to say intervening" 8, no longer seems possible. The road necessarily begins in insurmountable consular meanderings.
The routes thus thwarted have become difficult, laborious, tortuous, as rendered visible in the performance Sillage Oujda/ Melilla (2012) by Marcos Avila Forero, in which the artist and other men pulled a cayuco, a traditional Senegalese fishing vessel, transformed into a precarious craft by migrants. They travelled the one hundred and fifty kilometers that separate Oujda in Morocco, on the Algerian border, from the Spanish enclave of Melilla, the starting point for exiles towards the Spanish coasts. The heavy cayuco they dragged was made of plaster and progressively disintegrated, tracing a white line along the way, a reminder of the painful wear and tear of such journey, the fragility of such means, and the reality of these clandestine journeys.
The exiles have to undertake their perilous journey, "most often at the instigation of someone, (…) on a boat that has been there by chance or [expected] for a long time, armed with improvised equipment or gathered together over a long period of time" 9, the writer Predrag Matvejevitche described clairvoyantly in 1987. "The uncertain waves" Reclus defined, -which, in his installation Road to exile (2008), the visual artist Barthélémy Toguo transforms into unstable, moving, rolling glass bottles, on top of which he has installed his boat overloaded with multicolored bundles of fabric, on the edge of capsizing,- become a frightening danger for all those who risk it. These reckless sailors "find themselves (…) crammed into old cargo ships or makeshift boats, on boats with erased names that do not wait long before sinking to the bottom of the sea" 10.
In order to produce the film Harragas (2011), whose title refers to those who burn their papers to avoid being sent back to their country of origin, the artist Bruno Boudjelal collected videos filmed by these illegal travelers. Captured on the spot, with their mobile phones, sometimes as selfies, these images give a glimpse of men on an agitated and sometimes stormy sea, in a precarious boat, unfit to ensure the success of such a journey. There are no topographical or geographical landmarks other than the presence of water, which forms an infinite horizon in each shot.
Shipwrecks, deflated rubber dinghies floating between two waters, wooden ships equipped with derisory oars, rusty trawlers in distress, in which whole families are crowded together. These visions are sadly familiar
to us. They show, in a reductive and focused way, shipwrecked people adrift in the terrible and degrading moment of their interception 11, as denounced by the video artist Ursula Biemann. These images, always the same, unfortunately belong to a media iconography that is plethoric, collective and broadcasted in a perpetual loop. They "circulate indefinitely and eventually lose all reference to their context (…), no longer referring to a specific event " 12. Images, like boats, navigate from site to site. Without anchorage, without reference, information wanders and gets lost.
Meaning becomes diluted and no longer reaches us. These depersonalized, decontextualized images no longer reach their goal.
The works Sillage Oujda/Melilla, Road to exile, and Harragas tell the same story, of course. They also tell us about these trying and hazardous journeys. But, by mixing an undeniable poetry of the absurd, Marcos Avila Forero's performance intrigues us. Barthélémy Toguo's installation imposes itself on us by its presence that is at the same time colorful, massive and uncertain. And, by exhibiting the short films of the Harragas, initially sent to their relatives on social networks, Bruno Boudjelal brings us, the spectators, into their intimate exchange. He puts us on their 'friends' lists. We are subjugated. This is what ensures the strength and particularity of these works.

Providing a musicality and distortion-free performance that's off the scale, this is a stand-mounted speaker like no other.
The elegantly curved, rigid cabinet houses a high quality bass driver and Linn 3K Driver Array, providing the musical accuracy you'd expect from Linn. However it's how each drive unit is fed a near perfect signal that sets this speaker apart.
The innovative stand houses the Exakt digital crossover, volume control, Linn DACs and power amplification, with a dedicated channel for each of the four drive units. Signals are passed from stand to speaker using a unique 4-way connection through the base of the cabinet, so you won't see any messy wiring despite the complexity of the electronics.

Seniors lead the way in Fairborn win
Submitted photo The Fairborn girls tennis team topped West Carrollton 5-0 on senior night.
FAIRBORN — It was senior night for the Fairborn tennis team Thursday.
And the seniors led the way in a 5-0 win over West Carrollton.
Five senior Skyhawks played against the Pirates and two — Hannah Smith and Morgan Cox — made their varsity debut in a second doubles match. The pair won, 6-0, 6-0, in what was described by Coach Josh Steck as "a near flawless performance." Not the be outdone, the first doubles team of seniors Kenzie Taylor and Alyssa Carter also blanked their opponents, 6-0, 6-0. It was their first time playing doubles together but probably not their last, Steck said.
The singles players also had stellar matches. Playing second singles, Caitlin Bowling won, 6-1, 6-0, but there were no easy points according to Steck. The only non-senior playing was sophomore Eva Gibson. She had faced off against two of the league's toughest opponents in her first two matches and lost, Steck said. But he added that those matches helped prepare and motivate her for Thursday's match as she won, 6-0, 6-0. West Carrollton forfeited the third singles match.
Fairborn, 2-1, hosts Troy Monday, Aug. 24. First serve is scheduled for 4:30 p.m.

Jinty Titles in Latin Part 3
11/12/2017 Translations and ReprintsA Boy Like Bobby, Bound for Botany Bay, Food for Fagin, For Peter's Sake!, I'll Make up for Mary, Latin, Mystery of Martine, The Robot Who Cried, Wild Rosemistyfan
Here is my third volume of Jinty titles translated into Latin, with some brief commentary.
In loco Mariae (In Place of Mary i.e. I'll Make up for Mary)
A simple matter of taking the phrase in loco parentis [in place of parent] and adapting it to what Ann is trying to do – take the place of Mary.
Qui est mater Rosae? (Who is Rose's Mother? i.e. Wild Rose)
At first I thought of "Who is the woman with the moon scar?", but it was too wordy. I settled on a much simpler title that summed up the mystery of the story and the question Rose is trying to answer.
Hoc robotum lacrimare potest (This Robot Can Cry i.e. The Robot Who Cried)
Similar to the English title, but it is more reflective of how this particular robot was capable of human emotion.
Effugium ex exilio (Escape from Banishment i.e. Bound for Botany Bay)
A working translation for another title gave me the idea of starting with a title that had the Latin for "escape" in it. The end result had alliteration all the way through the title.
Petrus curandus est! (Peter Must Be Cured! i.e. For Peter's Sake!)
The grammar in Cato's famous tagline, Carthago delenda est [Carthage must be destroyed] was the inspiration for this one.
Pascendum appetitum aeternum (Feeding the eternal appetite i.e. Food for Fagin)
Straight off I decided not to use the name of the dog in the title, and I never could stand those Oliver Twist references in the story anyway (would a mum seriously name her daughter Olivia Twist?). Instead, I worked on a title that commented on the increasingly difficult task of trying to keep up with that mountainous appetite of Fagin's on the family's limited income.
Daemonium, quod intro est (The Demon that is Within i.e. The Mystery of Martine)
I decided against a title that used "Martine". Instead, I went for translating the name of the play in the story "The Demon Within", as its title summed up what was going on.
Neglecti et superbi sumus (We are Neglected but Proud i.e. A Boy Like Bobby)
Two boys who were neglected and living in a squalid flat. But they still had their pride, which made it difficult for our heroine to reach out to them. So this was the basis for the Latin translation. Originally I thought of "Two neglected boys", but that did not sound very interesting. I decided that a title that reflected their pride showing through their neglect made it more interesting. The endings of the adjectives also gave it alliteration.

Daisy Drudge and Milady Maud – final episode (artist Ken Houghton)
Jinty's New Year issue for 1977 was bang on New Year's Day. Jinty says "make it a great New Year – with us!" Indeed, in my opinion 1977 was the year Jinty hit her stride. In 1977 she cast off the Lindy logo that had stayed with her throughout 1976. But what really defined 1977 as the year Jinty hit her stride was fully establishing her trademark science fiction and jauntiness with strips like the quirky "Fran'll Fix It!" and her "smash hit" story of 1977, "Land of No Tears". In the same year, Jinty added her resident spooky storyteller, Gypsy Rose. It was also in 1977 that Jinty added Guy Peeters and the unknown Concrete Surfer to her team, who would go on to draw some of her biggest classics.
Oddly, although Gypsy Rose did not appear in Jinty until 29 January 1977, there is a horoscope in this issue saying, "Gypsy Rose looks at the stars". Readers must have been wondering, "Who the heck is Gypsy Rose?" The horoscope appears on the same page as the blurb for a new story, "Mark of the Witch!", so perhaps it was meant as a foreshadowing for Gypsy Rose too. If so, it is an odd one, because it gives no hint of who Gypsy Rose is supposed to be. Is it the pen name of the astrologer who writes the horoscope or something?
The cover itself is a beautiful one, with its ingenious use of blues, yellows and reds. The white space lightens things up and does not make the cover too heavy. The seasons look a bit mixed. Mandy's water-skiing panel hints at summer, while the holly the poor old druid is about to sit on implies winter. The rock Gertie puts the holly on makes it reminiscent of a Christmas pudding, which further adds to the winter theme. While Mandy and Gertie look happy on the cover, we get the opposite with Ruth and Ayesha, who are on the wrong end of a farmer's gun.
Of course we have New Year features. There is a page where pop stars like Paul McCartney and Paul Nicholas list their resolutions for 1977. In "Sue's Fantastic Fun-Bag!" Henrietta mishears the word "resolution" as "revolution" and enchants everyone at school into a revolution instead of making resolutions. Alley Cat starts off New Year doing what he does best – annoying the Muchloots. In this case it's raiding their larder for a New Year feast. Gertie triggers a series of events that establishes Stonehenge – its purpose being a tourist attraction – and its opening has New Year celebrations included.
Now, on to the other stories:
"Daisy Drudge and Milady Maud" is the first of Jinty's stories to end in 1977, with the mixed-up identities of the skivvy and the high-class girl being sorted out once they finally find each other. This also marks the end of Jinty's serials with 19th century settings, which had been introduced when Lindy merged into Jinty way back in November 1975. Its replacement next week is Phil Townsend's first 1977 story, "Mark of the Witch!"
So far there is no end for Hetty King's ordeal. Hetty is lumbered with looking after Jo, but Jo hates Hetty because she wrongly blames Hetty for her sister's death. Hetty manages to secure a job as a temporary PE teacher at her new locality after Jo's hatred forced her out of her old one, but she faces an uphill battle to win respect from the pupils. And how long before Jo's hatred interferes with everything?
Mandy applies makeup to adopt a new persona, "Bubbles", and goes water-skiing. But really – wearing a wig while water-skiing? No wonder the episode ends with Mandy's secret in danger.
Martine's odd behaviour is getting worse and worse. Tessa can't figure out what the hell is going on, except that Martine seems to be acting like the crazed woman she plays onstage.
As already mentioned on the cover, Ruth and Ayesha have a scary moment with a farmer. Fortunately he turns friendly after Ayesha saves his life. But then a shoplifter makes Ruth the scapegoat for her crimes, taking advantage of the prejudice against gypsies.
In "Is This Your Story?", Lynn Carter feels her family don't appreciate her and she envies her friend Mary for being an only child. But when both girls end up in hospital, right next to each other, Lynn learns that some people may not be as enviable as she thinks and she draws closer to her family.
In "Sceptre of the Toltecs", both Clare and a class bully begin to suspect that Malincha, the mystery girl from Mexico, has strange powers. The blurb for next week says there will be more evidence of this.

This issue gives us the first of a long line of Gypsy Rose stories – a spooky storyteller series which gives the Jinty editors the flexibility of commissioning a number of different artists and writers and running the resulting stories as they suit best. Most of the stories include Gypsy Rose as an active participant in the tale and helping to resolve the mystery; but later on a number of spooky stories from other titles had a panel of Gypsy Rose art pasted over the other storyteller so that it could be rebranded as a Jinty-style story. I have uploaded "The Ring of Death" into the Gypsy Rose summary post, so do head over to that to read it. You will notice some art that is repeated in subsequent Gypsy Rose stories, such as the image of her seated figure, displaying her patchwork skirt to best advantage.
Malincha's wicked uncle Telqotl is plotting ways to trap her and to steal the golden sceptre. The two girls manage to give him the slip at the museum but they are soon trapped in a department store and he has managed to put out all the lights by mystic means!
Mandy Mason, the humble caretaker at an elegant beauty salon, ends up going to a posh safari park by accident and has a chance to turn herself into Raquel, the fearless white huntress. But at the end of this episode she is trapped in a cage with two adult lions running towards her as she holds a cub in her arms! Audrey Fawley draws lovely human figures but sadly the lions just look like round bouncy creatures who aren't very convincing to my eyes.
It is also the first episode of "Freda, False Friend". Freda's father is a police officer; he seems to have suddenly got a promotion as the family move to a posh big house and start driving in a swanky new car. It all turns out to be a ruse though – he wants her to make friends with Gail, the girl next door, because the police have suspicions about Gail's father. Very unpleasantly for Freda, she is being made into a spy against her will!
In "The Big Cat" Ruth saves a stag from being hunted by the local staghounds, but for her pains she is driven off from the village that she has been working in. It was a very unfriendly village, with people who hated to see strangers come along, but still it was a depressing thing to have happen.
Martine is claiming that the ballet school is her house, even though it was sold to Miss Bond some time previously. The worry of what is happening to her sister causes Tessa's ballet dancing to suffer, and her relationships with her classmates are also suffering. But the most dangerous thing is the chance it gives her jealous rival, to score over her!
Emma Fielding is torn between believing in Alice's attempts to be friends, and her father's bitter denouncing of those attempts as just charity. The spiteful local girls look like they want to make it all go wrong for Emma, too.

In "Go On, Hate Me!", Hetty gets Jo out of two big scrapes, but the little hatemonger does not appreciate it one bit. She still hates Hetty as much as ever and now she's turned other girls against her. However, we are told that all the hatred is going to bring an act of love next week. It sounds the end of the story then, and things are finally going to change for Hetty, thank goodness.
"Is This YOUR Story?" changes its title to "Could This Be YOU?" for some reason. The story is about a girl who is picked on because she is tall. When the teasing finally gets too much for her, a teacher comes up with a clever plan to help her use her height to her advantage and beat the bullies.
"Made-Up Mandy" also comes up with a plan to beat the bullies at her old school, who have bullied a friend out of the lead in the school play. She plays "ghost" to teach the bullies a lesson – but now she is in danger of being found out.
However, there is no respite from the bullying for poor Emma in "Mark of the Witch!", despite Alice's help to get her accepted at the riding club. No matter what she does, Emma is always "Black Emma" the bad lot in the eyes of the other kids.
There are no bullies in this week's episode of "Sue's Fantastic Fun-Bag!". However, there is a vain girl in serious need of a lesson, and Henrietta is always ready to oblige.
"The Big Cat" is in big trouble – she got trapped in a warehouse that was being demolished. Ruth manages to get her out, but she's injured.
"The Mystery of "Martine" is deepening, with Martine's inexplicable behaviour growing even more troubling for her sister Tessa.
In "Sceptre of the Toltecs", Malincha is giving guarded explanations for why her evil uncle is after her; she says she can't reveal everything without consulting her father. That's a bit annoying, especially as it looks like the evil uncle has now arrived.
Gertie Grit lands in the future this week instead of a period in Earth's history. She helps out a dog that doesn't want to be part of a space programme.

One of the most colourful and striking Jinty covers in my opinion, and it's another of my favourites. On the cover, Henrietta is making it plain to Sue that she does not like Sue putting an umbrella into her while Emma stops a runaway horse but gets no thanks. As far as the villagers are concerned, she is a "bad 'un" and that's that. Only Alice is friendly and in this issue she offers her hand of friendship again. Will Emma take it next week?
Two stories end in this issue. Hetty reaches breaking point and snaps from all the hatred she is receiving. But Jo sees the consequences of the hatred against Hetty that she fermented and learns the value of forgiveness – not to mention getting her facts straight. Druid Caractacus finally catches up with Gertie, but she is pleased to see him because she is in a spot of bother. Next week we will see the start of one of Jinty's most enduring and popular features – "Gypsy Rose's Tales of Mystery and Magic". Also starting next issue is "Freda, False Friend", Phil Gascoine's first Jinty story for 1977.
The origin of the Sceptre of the Toltecs is revealed, so the story is heading for its climax now. Made-Up Mandy has played "ghost" to help a friend, but narrowly missed being caught. And now she's set on going on safari, although her nasty employer Miss Agate won't allow it. So we have a pretty good suspicion that Mandy will be headed back to the make-up kit for another disguise next week. Whatever has possessed Martine is still causing trouble and it's all Tessa can do to concentrate on ballet so she can get into the City Ballet Company.

Various of the stories translated in Tina were also reprinted in the Indonesian title Nina (of course Indonesia is a former Dutch colony, making for a clear link). These will be listed on a new reference page for Translations into Indonesian.
This long list enables us to see how very popular some creators were – for instance, a large number of Jim Baikie and Phil Gascoine stories are included (though not all, by any means). Of course, these were also the most prolific of Jinty artists too.
Many stories were translated very shortly after initial publication, and then reprinted in album form some time later. There was also a 'second round' of translation work done after Jinty ceased publication, to go back and pick some of the earlier stories that had not been selected earlier. This was the case with "Always Together" and "The Kat and Mouse Game", for instance.
Many but by no means all of the story titles were translated fairly literally or exactly, though the main character's name was almost invariably exchanged for another one. Some titles ended up particularly poetical or neat in translation: "A Spell of Trouble" and "Holiday Hideaway" perhaps benefit most from their translated titles. Of course, there are also some losers: I think "The Human Zoo" and "The Girl Who Never Was" ended up with less resonant titles through the process.
A wide range of stories were translated: spooky stories, humour stories, science fiction, adventure, sports stories. There are some omissions that I'm surprised by, though of course the editors had to pick and choose from so much that was available. "Fran of the Floods" was probably too long (see Marc's comment about the length of stories selected for translation). No Gypsy Rose stories were selected – maybe they didn't want a storyteller, 'grab-bag' approach? I am however quite surprised at the omission of the excellent "Children of Edenford" (1979). Could it have been too subversive a story, with its underlying theme of adults undermining their position of trust by hypnotizing children in order to control their moral development? The similarly-themed "Prisoner of the Bell" was also not translated. Of course this is rather a guess! At the end of the day I'm sure there were just more stories to choose from than there were spaces for publication.
For reference, I also include a complete list of stories published in the album format Tina Topstrip (71 albums in total). This gives us a view of how many of the reprinted stories deemed worthy of collection came from which original title. Note that some of the stories in this album format were themselves originally written in Dutch as they are credited to a Dutch writer.

This is the first in a new category of post, covering the various story themes seen in Jinty in more detail. As we will see, the story themes are often not clear-cut; many themes overlap or become fuzzy at the edges when investigated further. Nevertheless, definite strands can be traced.
There is a long-running story theme in girls' comics based around someone or something (normally an object) influencing the protagonist to do things she normally wouldn't do, in a way that is supernatural or unnatural. The influencing object usually has its own agenda, and in service of this it often ends up taking away the protagonist's free will, and perhaps even her memory, such are the extremes that are gone to. The object (or, sometimes, person) is often evil, though sometimes it can be just driven by its own underlying requirements, which the protagonist must serve in order to resolve the situation.
Core examples
Probably the purest form of this story theme in Jinty can be found in the spooky story "Spell of the Spinning Wheel" (1977). Rowan Lindsay pricks her finger on the spinning wheel that her mother has just bought and finds that she is made to fall fast asleep every time she hears a humming sound – like the sound of the wheel when it is being used, but also the hum of a hairdryer, a car, and so on. The spinning wheel is entirely malicious: its agenda seems simply to spoil Rowan's running career and indeed her life. When Rowan tries to give it away or destroy it to save herself, it responds dramatically by trying to make her go over a cliff, drown in a river, or get knocked down by a car; certainly it's not possible to just tamely pass it on. In the end it must be destroyed by cleansing fire, but this can only happen once the whole family is united in determination to remove its malign influence: the heroine does not have enough power to get rid of it by herself. (In this story this works partly through the wheel's power and partly through the mother's disbelief: although the father is soon persuaded of the spinning wheel's malice, the mother is turned against her family and refuses to co-operate with them until finally the wheel goes a step too far and shows her its true colours.)
Clear examples of this story theme in Jinty are:
Gail's Indian Necklace (1974): Gail acquires a mysterious necklace made of wooden beads in a jumble sale: it originally came from India. Initially it grants some desires that are unspoken, or socially wrong: she cannot afford a bicycle and so the necklace makes her steal one, or she wants her aunt out of the way and the aunt gets knocked over by a car. The necklace has a specific agenda, to be returned to its original location; once Gail complies she is free of its influence and is even rewarded by it.
Slave of the Mirror (1975): Mia Blake finds an old mirror in her house and it makes her turn against her sister. The mirror possesses her and makes her destroy things in the house, sabotaging her sister's attempt to run a boarding house. It turns out to be haunted by the ghost of a Spanish serving-girl who was ill-treated by a previous owner of the house; her spirit is set to rest and the possession stops.
Spell of the Spinning Wheel (1977): see above.
Creepy Crawley (1977): Jean Crawley comes across an old scarab brooch in a shop; it comes with the promise that it can help her defeat her rival. She doesn't stay around long enough to listen to the associated warning she would have been given: once it gives her her wish it will go on to further its own ends, up to and including a reign of insects! Very soon she is unable to give up the brooch or gainsay it in any way; the defeat of the evil object has to be done by a friend of Jean's, and by the rival herself, who has to be persuaded into forgiveness to break the spell.
Come Into My Parlour (1978): Jody Sinclair is made to wear a cat's-paw necklace by an evil witch, who uses it to get revenge on the descendents of a judge who hanged her wicked ancestor. At first she is made to do things against her will as if she were a puppet, but her inconvenient conscience is eventually eliminated by changing her personality entirely. In the end she is only freed when the house that the witch has been living in is burned down, with the witch inside.
Paula's Puppets (1978): Paula finds some mysterious wax puppets and finds they act like voodoo dolls, and she can make things happen to whoever she makes the puppets resemble. At first the bitter Paula uses them to exact revenge, but eventually she realises she can use them to help her father. (Here, protagonist Paula is the active force behind the influencing object, which differs from usual in this story theme.)
The Venetian Looking Glass (1980): the protagonist finds a hand mirror which starts to control her life and wreak its revenge, ultimately being revealed as due to an angry ghost. As with other stories above, the spirit can only be laid to rest with the help of a wider group of people than just the enthralled protagonist, and forgiveness plays an important part too.
A number of Gypsy Rose stories also include this story theme, with a more diverse set of evil or haunted objects such as a handkerchief and a tambourine.
Edge cases
Of course, there are always fuzzy edges around definitions, with examples that don't match the story theme quite as obviously. Looking at these less clear-cut cases can help to challenge our definitions.
"The Haunting of Form 2B" (1974) has a whole class being haunted by a ghostly teacher. The schoolgirls are taken over mentally by objects given to them by the ghost, but it's quite a number of varied objects that are influencing them rather than a specific one or two.
In "The Haunting of Hazel" (1975) the protagonist is strongly influenced by a ghostly ancestor, but it feels more like a standard ghost story than a case of possession.
In "The Mystery of Martine" (1976-77), the source of the possession is not very clearly delineated: is it the bangles that Martine clanks together, or is it the script written by the playwright, or is it all perhaps in Martine's mind?
Sometimes the object is not that clearly evil, or has an influence without appearing almost anthropomorphic. Tamsin Tregorren finds a silver comb that belonged to her mother in "Combing Her Golden Hair" (1979) and the comb shows her visions and leads her to frolic in the water like a dolphin despite never having learned to swim. Eventually she is brought to the sea where she meets her mother, who is a mermaid, and who wants her to come and live in the sea too. The comb serves the agenda of the mother, who is not evil (and though she is portrayed as selfishly not caring whether or not Tamsin would be able to survive in the same environment, this is never actually proven one way or another).
In "Child of the Rain" (1980), Gemma West is strongly affected by the rain after a trip to the Amazon rainforest; it is found that some bark from a tree was left in her leg after an accident in the forest, and it is that that is affecting her, rather than any evil object or tennis-mad spirit .
In "Who's That In My Mirror" (1977), the special mirror in question does not remove Magda's free will, though it does seem to tempt her to worse and more selfish actions than she would have done alone. It's also not entirely clear at the end whether perhaps the mirror might be intended as an ultimately moral force, to make her repent of her selfish deeds?
Related but different
Further away again from my core definition sit some related themes:
Hypnotism and brainwashing are the keys to "The Slave of Form 3B", "Prisoner of the Bell", "Children of Edenford", and "Jackie's Two Lives": the active agents are people, working in ways that aren't actually strictly realistic but can't be classed as supernatural.
Wish fulfillment: "Dance Into Darkness" has the protagonist forced to dance whenever music plays, with her free will eroded by the curse she takes on. It could be classed along the same double-edged gift that tempts Jean Crawley, but it feels more like irony than evil. And of course a wish fulfillment story can also be purely mundane, such as in "Food for Fagin" and "Freda's Fortune".
Not to be confused with: a magical companion, who persuades or helps rather than forcing or tempting. Stories with such a companion include "Guardian of White Horse Hill", "Her Guardian Angel", "Daughter of Dreams". The companion may leave the protagonist in a sticky situation but she is not compelled or possessed.
It's an old-fashioned sort of story theme, in many ways. The magical objects in question are typically very gendered – mirrors, necklaces, a brooch, a spinning wheel. It feels like a trope from old stories or fairy tales, continued on in girls' comics as a morality tale. The girl who is affected by the evil object often picks it up initially for the wrong reasons, or is in places she's not supposed to be: the object promises revenge or oneupmanship, and the seeds of the main character's undoing are sown because they are heading in the morally wrong direction from the start.

The striking aspect of this issue has got to be the cover artwork from "Mark of the Witch!", which begins this week. This story shows emotional abuse happening generation after generation, though the abuse is not purely limited to being within the family: it's perpetuated by the protagonist's grim, tough father but also indulged in by the whole village. There is a telling panel where she avoids the father with palpable relief on her face – treading on eggshells, indeed.

Short or even complete stories did feature in Jinty every so often: Mistyfan has noted previously that this tended to happen around Christmas and New Year, presumably to fill in gaps and give a seasonal feel. The first story in this issue is a creepy one but, unusually, is not associated with a spooky story-teller: in "Holly anad the Ivy", prickly protagonist Holly moves into an ivy-covered cottage and finds that the plant has a will of its own.
I am a bit puzzled about the artist on "Sceptre of the Toltecs". The attribution that I have received on this story is that the artist is the Spaniard Cándido Ruiz Pueyo, and indeed looking at his entry on the Lambiek Comiclopedia this seems very plausible.
(click thru)
The signature on the strip itself, though, clearly says 'Prieto', which is a reasonably common surname in Spanish (though on a quick google seems more associated with Mexico than with Spain itself). The handwriting on the signature closely matches Pueyo's signature, as does small details like the way the shoes are drawn, so I am satisfied this is almost certainly the same person using a pseudonym. But why? (Or of course, why not?)
Update: David Roach has confirmed that this artist is Emilia Prieto – substantiated by a portfolio sample from the time.
It must be said there are greater questions about "Sceptre of the Toltecs" than the attribution of the artist. This is another case where the research underlying this story are what you might call minimal! The mysterious girl from Mexico is called 'Malincha' which she claims is a common name 'where she comes from' – but in fact any reader who has a connection to Mexico will think of 'La Malinche', which will give more of the impression of treachery and colonialism than anything else.

Publication: 18 December 1976-26 February 1977
Reprint: Jinty annual 1983
Artist: Trini Tinturé
Sisters Tessa and Martine Freeman are pursuing promising careers in the arts; Tessa is preparing for a ballet audition at a ballet company while Martine has landed the starring role in Nigel Ropley's drama, "The Demon Within". Unfortunately this is where the trouble begins and it creates the titular mystery that is never really solved.
Martine is playing the role of Vivien, a crazed, grasping, demented woman who has an obsession about getting her old house back from its current owner. She stops at nothing, "as if some demon was inside her" and increasingly acts in a manner that suggests she is possessed. Whenever Martine, onstage playing Vivien, hatches some sinister machination to take back the house, she clicks her bangles in a manner that sounds sinister, even off stage. The play climaxes with Vivien burning down the house when she decides she cannot get it back – with her enemy inside. Even when she is arrested, she still looks triumphant. The play is also triumphant, but Tessa soon finds that Martine still acts like Vivien, even off stage. The same facial expressions, vocal expressions, bangles, clothes – as if she is becoming Vivien in real life.
And there is a disturbing parallel with Vivien's situation – Tessa's current ballet school used to be the Freemans' home. Now Martine is becoming obsessed with getting that house back Vivien-style. She starts hanging around the ballet school, clicking those bangles and staring at the house in the sinister manner of Vivien. She starts regarding the ballet teacher, Miss Bond, in the same manner that Vivien regards the woman who took over her house. At home, Martine starts behaving like Vivien to Tessa and other people, which is truly frightening. It also causes trouble with the other tenants in the apartment block. It doesn't happen all the time – she usually returns to normal, but then she starts acting like Vivien again. Tessa is astonished when Martine agrees to pay her ballet fees, but she soon finds that this is a Vivien plot – it was a ploy to get into the ballet school and start harassing Miss Bond.
In the midst of all this trouble, Tessa still has to keep practising for her audition. Amazingly, she still manages to keep up with it. But of course there has to be a jealous rival out to make trouble, and in this case her name is Julie Worral. Julie starts causing trouble when Martine leaves a nasty note to Miss Bond "You are in my house. Get out or face the consequences". Miss Bond throws the note in the bin and tells Tessa her concerns about how this will affect her dancing. If it proves detrimental to Tessa passing the audition, Julie is the next choice for it. They do not realise Julie has overheard.
Martine's harassment of Miss Bond gets worse. She removes Miss Bond's furniture and tries to move her new purchases of furniture into the house. Tessa has the furniture taken to their flat, but this gets the Freemans threatened with eviction. Tessa tries to get Martine removed from the play, but Martine convinces Nigel that Tessa is just jealous. Meanwhile, Julie retrieves the nasty note and tries to use it to blackmail Tessa into backing out of the audition. And then Tessa remembers that Vivien burned down the house she could not reclaim and realises that this is what Martine will do.
Sure enough, Martine is heading to the ballet school with a petrol can. However, an accidental fire (caused by Julie) starts instead and Martine is found unconscious on the lawn. The reason – Nigel noticed things and came to realise that Tessa was right. However, he decided that the solution was to rewrite the ending of the play. The new ending has Vivien's personality changing from evil to good (and also makes for a far better play). The moment Nigel finished it, Martine says she felt Vivien go out of her and she was herself again, and then she just passed out. They are still not sure how it happened and conclude they never will know. But everything is sorted out happily, of course. The play, with its revised ending, goes to London where it is a huge success while Tessa passes the audition. Both sisters can now look forward to being stars.
This is an evil influence story, but with two major differences from the formula. First, it is never revealed just what the influence was or what caused it. This is a complete deviation from the standard formula, where it is always obvious what the evil influence is – at least, to the reader. The victim may start off knowing what it is herself as well, as in Jinty's "Slave of the Mirror". Or the victim does not realise what is going on until something – or an astute someone – tips her off, as in "Prisoner of the Bell", also from Jinty. Either way, the reader is usually informed as to what it is that is taking hold of the protagonist in the first episode. Yet in this case, the reader is kept in the dark. Readers must have expected that everything will be explained by the final episode. But no – right up to the end it remains just as much a mystery to the reader as it is to the protagonists – and becomes a double pun on the "Mystery" in the title. Instead, readers are left to draw their own conclusions. Was it some kind of psychological cause? Was Martine getting so wrapped up in the role of Vivien that life started to imitate art, so to speak? Or was there truly some supernatural force at work? Indeed, there are hints of demons and possession in the play, and Nigel's solution to the problem sounds ominously like exorcism. The mystery of it all makes it even more frightening because we do not understand what it is exactly that is making Martine act like Vivien.
Second, the evil influence story usually focuses on the point of view of the victim of the influence. We see her thoughts as she falls under the influence and her reactions to it: confusion, terror, bewilderment, desperation, torture, trying to make sense of it all and finding ways to deal with it. But here the story is told from the POV of the sister who is watching it all from a terrified, bewildered and desperate standpoint. We never get Martine's point of view or thought bubbles that tell us what is going on in her head. And because we do not see this, we do not have the insight that can shed light on just what is happening to Martine. Nor can we see just what she is planning when Vivien takes over, so we have no idea just how or when she will strike. So we are all the more worried and frightened when Martine lurks around the school with that Vivien look and clicking those bangles. So having the POV from the sister rather than the victim makes the story even more frightening and helps to preserve the "mystery".
Comix minx has commented on how Tinturé "seems particularly good at brunettes with snapping glares". This is perfect for the facial expressions of the seemingly possessed, demented, crazed Viviene/Martine, such as where she sits on a chair, clicking her bangles, and her face is "terribly transformed!" There is even a wild look about her flowing black hair that further enhances her terrifying Vivien look and must have sent shudders up the spines of readers.

Holmes vs. Ali: The Last Hurrah (Don King, 1980). Poster (24" X 35.75"). Sports.
In 1980, Muhammad Ali, having won the WBC heavyweight championship for a record three times, came out of retirement to face the undefeated new champion, Larry Holmes. Ali's health issues had taken a serious toll on his boxing, however, and he lost the bout, which actor Sylvester Stallone would later liken to watching an autopsy on a man who is still alive.

JAILED: Total of 82-and-a-half years prison for six vile Aylesbury child sex abusers
Hayley O'Keeffe
Six men involved in a child sex ring in Aylesbury have been jailed today at the Old Bailey – for the systematic abuse of two young girls.
Following a two month trial, the jury took more than 42 hours to find six guilty of a range of offences against the girls, who bravely spent days giving evidence and being cross-examined at the Old Bailey.
During the trial the jury were told how the men would give the girls drugs, alcohol and attention to win their trust.
In an opening statement to the court prosecutor Oliver Saxby said: "This case concerns child sexual exploitation on a massive scale. It features two young girls who were exploited and sexually abused from the age of 12 or 13."
He added: "They were wanting to feel grown up. And looked after. They were easy prey for a group of men wanting casual sexual gratification that was easy, regular and readily available."
The jury was told that 'victim A 'had been passed between 60 men – 'almost all Asian' – for sex and had been conditioned to think it was normal behaviour.
Akbari Khan cried as the sentences were read out, while the other five men remained emotionless in the dock.
