Class 9 – English Literature Reader – Bishops Candlesticks
About The Play
"The Bishop's Candlesticks" brings home the idea that no one is a born criminal. It shows how a good and humane treatment can bring out hidden goodness in a hardened criminal. The convict who enters the Bishop's house demands food at the point of his knife. The Bishop remains calm and composed. He calls him son and readily offers him food and wine and then a bed to sleep. In his conversation, the convict tells him how he stole out of a dire need to save his ailing and starving wife. He was sent to jail where ill-treatment made him a beast. When the Bishop leaves him to rest for the night, he decamps with the Bishop's silver candlesticks. He is, however, caught and brought back to the Bishop. The Bishop gets him released by telling a lie to the police. He says that the candlesticks were his gift to his friend. When the police leaves, he actually gifts the candlesticks to the convict and shows him the way to Paris where he can start a new life. The convict falls on his knees and promises to become a good man again.
(i) The Bishop
In the play, the Bishop is an embodiment of all noble qualities. He is selfless and charitable. He often helps the poor and the needy. He sells his salt-cellars to enable an old, poor lady to pay off her rent. He is loving and affectionate, kind and generous. The convict tries to intimate him and demands food. He readily provides him food and shelter. The convict steals his silver candlesticks. The Bishop saves him by saying that he himself gave the candlesticks to him. He wins the heart of the convict by actually gifting the candlesticks to him. Thus, he proves to be an ideal priest.
(ii) The Convict
The convict in the play was once a normal human being. He fell on bad days and stole. He was sent to jail. In the jail he was treated so badly that he became a beast. When he escaped from jail, he had become inhuman. He has no faith in man's goodness. He has no respect for society, religion or state.
However, he is essentially human. He has innate goodness which circumstances have concealed. The Bishop's love and kindness over whelns him. He regains his faith. The Bishop's generosity reforms him totally and sets him on the right path. He is ready to lead a normal life of a good man.

Alexander: Committee Approves 5 Nominees Ready to Help Improve and Protect Health of All Americans
WASHINGTON, August 2, 2017 — The Senate health committee today approved the nominations of Lance Allen Robertson to serve as Assistant Secretary for Aging, Dr. Brett Giroir to serve as Assistant Secretary for Health, Dr. Robert Kadlec to serve as Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response, Dr. Elinore F. McCance-Katz to serve as Assistant Secretary for Mental Health and Substance Use, and Dr. Jerome Adams to serve as Surgeon General of the Public Health Service.
"These five nominees have a thorough understanding of the mission of the department in which I hope they will soon serve – to enhance and protect Americans' health and well-being," said Chairman Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.). "They will be responsible for leading the nation in event of public health emergencies, addressing mental health and substance abuse, including helping respond to the opioid abuse crisis, and overseeing public health programs. I hope the Senate will quickly confirm these nominees so they can begin their vital work."
Mr. Robertson is currently the State of Oklahoma's Director of Aging Services, a position he has held for the past decade. As Assistant Secretary for Aging, Mr. Robertson will oversee grants to states to support important programs like Meals on Wheels and provide Medicaid recipients home care and financial management.
Dr. Giroir is Founder and CEO of Health Science and Biosecurity Partners, and is an Adjunct Professor of Pediatrics, Tropical Medicine and Medical Ethics and Health Policy at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. As Assistant Secretary for Health, Dr. Giroir will oversee public health offices and programs, including biomedical research regulation and integrity, encouraging vaccinations and helping respond to the opioid abuse crisis.
Dr. Kadlec currently serves as Deputy Staff Director for Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.) on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. As Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response, Dr. Kadlec will ensure we are prepared for the next public health threat, whether natural, such as Ebola or Zika, or a bioterror attack.
Dr. McCance-Katz is currently the Chief Medical Officer for the Rhode Island Department of Behavioral Healthcare, Developmental Disabilities, and Hospitals. The 21st Century Cures Act made some significant changes to the agency Dr. McCance-Katz will lead, by directing the assistant secretary to focus on evidence-based practices, ensure the agency's grants are used effectively, and improve the recruitment of mental health and substance abuse professionals.
Dr. Jerome Adams today serves as Indiana State Health Commissioner. In the past, Surgeons General have addressed important issues such as preventing chronic diseases, supporting breast feeding, nutrition and exercise, and mental health.
When these nominees are confirmed, all of the assistant secretaries within the HELP Committee's jurisdiction at the Department of Health and Human Services will be filled.

Home Events Harvest Maroon Fest brings country to College Station
Harvest Maroon Fest brings country to College Station
College Station will be rocking come Sept. 6, as the third annual Harvest Maroon Fest kicks off the fall semester.
The one-day country music festival, held at the Wolf Pen Creek Amphitheater, is presented by the Randy Rogers Band, who are returning for their third time with the event. The group has been together since 2000, and have come to be a recognized name in the business.
The band's first studio album, "Like It Used to Be," debuted on June 25, 2002, which spurred a following among Texas country listeners. In 2005, following the release of their second album, "Rollercoaster," the Randy Rogers Band found their first single in "Tonight's Not the Night (For Goodbye)," peaking at 43 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart.
In 2012, the band released their fifth album, "Trouble," which housed their most successful song on the charts, "One More Sad Song." The single reached 38 on Hot Country Songs, and 21 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart.
In April 2019, the Randy Rogers Band released their newest studio album, "Hellbent." Their appearance at Harvest Maroon Fest is the next stop in touring the album, continuing the excellent music released by the group.
Joining them at the event are Flatland Cavalry and Chris Colston. Flatland Cavalry is touring with their sophomore studio album, "Homeland Insecurity." The band's current single, "Old School," recently reached number one on the Texas music charts, signaling a level of great music in store for fans.
"Homeland Insecurity" is an example of just how far Flatland Cavalry has evolved in their music and storytelling. By slowing down and living in the now, bandleader and chief lyricist Cleto Cordero and the rest of the group have learned to appreciate the details and emotions of the present moment. This translates to very compelling songs and a strong connection with listeners.
East Texas native Chris Colston will make his first appearance at Harvest Maroon Fest. Following the release of his 2018 EP, "Gone," Colston has swept through the Texas country airways. The title track from the album garnered more than a half-million streams on Spotify in the first few months after release, setting a bar he plans to keep raising over the years.
With his gritty Texas roots mixed with a little blues and rock and roll, Colston and his band members electrify an audience and set the stage for a great show right from the start.
Gates open for Harvest Maroon Fest at 6 p.m. Tickets are currently on sale through the festival website and at Cavender's Boot City.
For more information, including a list of allowed and prohibited items, consult www.harvestmaroonfest.com.

A new study has found that since legalization in Colorado, emergency-room visits related to marijuana have spiked. The study also indicates that edibles are a particularly risky way to consume cannabis.
A team of researchers collected data on over 2,500 cannabis-related ER visits in a large public Colorado hospital between 2012 and 2016. They published the findings in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine at the end of March, 2019.
Medical cannabis was legalized in Colorado in 2000 and recreational marijuana in 2012.
In 2012, there were only about 200 cannabis-linked trips to the hospital, while in 2016 the number jumped to 800. The increase was mostly related to smokable marijuana and the most common reasons for the visits were severe nausea and vomiting after continuous or heavy use.
Andrew Monte, the paper's lead author and an associate professor of emergency medicine at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, said that ingesting cannabis brownies, cookies and similar products can lead to confusion, intoxication and even paranoia, especially for people who are new to marijuana.
"I don't think people are educated enough about how much cannabis to take and how long to wait," Monte said.
Monte and his team recorded nearly 10,000 emergency-room visits to the University of Colorado Health's Anschutz campus in Aurora. Of all the visits, roughly a quarter were linked to marijuana. More than 10% of those were caused by edibles.
Monte found it "striking," particularly considering that edibles are sold in Colorado at a much lower rate than smokable forms.
According to the clinicians' paper, the proportion of emergency-room visits for edibles was "about 33 times higher than expected," compared to those related to smokable cannabis.
Monte suggested a number of reasons why it could be happening. Inexperienced marijuana users may be inclined to try edibles as they could perceive them to be safer and less intense.
But the effects of ingesting cannabis can take hours to emerge and may last for up to 12 hours – much longer than the effects of smoking. The length of a trip from edibles is thus comparable to that from psychedelic LSD.
"With inhaled cannabis, people feel high right away and generally know when to stop. If people have eaten something and don't feel it, they tend to try more, and that makes things difficult," Monte said.
Additionally, cannabis content can vary widely between different edible products, which points to a problem in the absence of standards around dosing and labeling.
In 2014, the Denver Post conducted an analysis, which showed that within a sample of dozens of products labeled with 100 milligrams of THC, some contained barely any THC, while other contained close to 150 milligrams.
Still, Monte stressed that his hospital is not overcome with cannabis-linked cases. He said that it is common for ER visits to jump when a new drug enters into a community. To put these visits into perspective, he said that based on the data from his study, only one in 300 daily ER visits to his hospital would be related to cannabis.
"The thing to remember here is that cannabis isn't killing everyone, but it's not curing everything either," Monte said.

Nasrallah Threatens to 'Displace' Israelis
Hezbollah leader declares his group would displace "millions" in Israel if the Jewish state attacks Lebanon.
Tags: Hassan Nasrallah Hezbollah Lebanon-Israel
Elad Benari, Canada , Jun 05 , 2015 9:51 PM
Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah
Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah once again threatened Israel on Friday, saying his group would displace "millions" in Israel if the Jewish state attacks Lebanon.
Nasrallah made the threat in a televised address weeks after an Israeli army official warned that Israel would "have to" target civilian areas in Lebanon in a future confrontation with Hezbollah, reported AFP.
"If they threaten to displace 1.5 million Lebanese, then the Islamic resistance in Lebanon (Hezbollah) threatens to displace millions of Israelis," Nasrallah fired back.
"We are not afraid of your war or of your threats," he declared.
"If you assume that we are busy in Syria, then you are wrong -- because this changes nothing in how we deal with our enemy," said Nasrallah.
For more than two years, Hezbollah has been fighting in Syria on behalf of embattled President Bashar Al-Assad.
Speaking to journalists on May 13, the Israeli army official said all villages in south Lebanon are a "military stronghold" where Hezbollah stockpiles rockets capable of hitting his country.
Even though he has continued to threaten Israel, Nasrallah has admitted in the past that his terrorist group is incapable of defeating Israel on its own.
In a recent interview with Syrian state TV Nasrallah explained that despite boasts by himself and other Hezbollah leaders about the group's capabilities, it is incapable of mounting a war against Israel independently.
In Friday's address, Nasrallah also spoke about Hezbollah's ongoing battle with Al- Qaeda's Syrian affiliate, Al-Nusra Front, in the Qalamun region that straddles the Syrian-Lebanese border.
He said Hezbollah had managed to "liberate dozens of square kilometers" of land in the area, pushing back Al-Nusra Front and its allies.
And he vowed that Hezbollah will next turn its sights on the Islamic State (ISIS) group which has seized chunks of Syria and Iraq and which Nasrallah has indicated is as a great an enemy of Hezbollah as Israel.
"The next battle is in the... parts (of Qalamun), which are controlled by Daesh," he said, using the Arabic acronym for ISIS.
"Daesh is on our borders," he said, branding the group as a "threat" to Lebanon's existence.

Is your culture aligned with your strategic goals? In partnership with pioneer People Ink (1999), we support education chiefs, superintendents, heads of school, and leaders in higher education to develop the capacity to distribute today's culture leadership model. If it's good enough for many of the greatest brands and workplaces in the world, then surely it is worth exploring for your community.
— The workplace model has been found to outperform by all meaningful measures, worldwide.
CHARACTER, SPIRIT, CREATIVITY - Create a culture that communities trust to consistently do the right thing, or go above and beyond.
BUILT TO LAST - Set things up to sustain, for the long-term.
INTERDEPENDENCE - Elevate the level of trust across the organization, the catalyst behind performance.
— In partnership with People Ink, we help teams to create organizational cultures based on values and performance.
Improvement has traditionally focused on strategy & culture separately. We don't.
Enlist everyone in a commitment to a shared purpose-inspired mission that speaks to them as individuals, ignites their passion, and unifies them in a meaningful endeavor.
Instill a deep commitment to values and a set of standards to which people at all levels can hold themselves accountable.
Build healthy, sustainable interdependency and connectedness among formal leaders, team members, customers (internal/external), partners, community members, and other stakeholders.
Create space by carefully promoting freedom from traditional constraints like hierarchy, and filling that space with carefully nurtured freedom to express oneself, experiment, and exercise leadership.
The process helps committed leaders shed their traditional authority hierarchy in return for significantly higher levels of resilience, employee loyalty, customer satisfaction (internal/external), and organizational performance.
Research done by The Hay Group, a global management consulting firm. - A study of 134 public schools and over 4000 teachers.
Does a leader need to be the smartest person in the organization to achieve growth and customer satisfaction? No. In fact, being the smartest person in the organization can actually impede growth.
A people-centric organization focuses on the individual and liberating his or her innovative power. This principle is based on a belief that people want to be creative and that an organization must provide them with a setting in which they can express their creativity.
A people-centric culture emphasizes transparency and openness, and therefore also trusts in employees. In its recruitment process, people-centric organizations place a great deal of emphasis on hiring the right people—people who can manage in a challenging environment and where there is a high level of empowerment. Many of the organization's offerings to its employees in the form of education are voluntary, and employees can decide whether to opt in. Each year, the organization removes unnecessary bureaucratic features in order to give each employee more freedom and to facilitate communication and collaboration between colleagues.
