Klem was widely respected for bringing dignity and professionalism to umpiring, as well as for his high skill and good judgment. Klem was also an innovative umpire; he was the first major league umpire to use arm signals while working behind home plate, and was one of the first to wear a modern, somewhat pliable chest protector inside his shirt – a move which he successfully campaigned to have adopted throughout the NL. He was the first to straddle foul lines and stand to the catcher's side for better perspective. Finally, he was the last umpire to work the plate exclusively (traditionally the crew chief always worked the plate; today umpire crews rotate base/plate assignments).

Catherine of Aragon

In 1507, she also held the position of Ambassador for the Spanish Court in England when her father found himself without one, becoming the first female ambassador in European history. For six months, she served as Queen Regent of England while Henry VIII was in France. During that time the English won the Battle of Flodden, an event in which Catherine played an important part. The controversial book "The Education of Christian Women" by Juan Luis Vives, which claimed women have the right to an education, was dedicated to and commissioned by her. Such was Catherine's impression on people, that even her enemy, Thomas Cromwell, said of her "If not for her sex, she could have defied all the heroes of History." William Shakespeare described her as "The Queen of Earthly Queens", and during her early years as queen consort she was described as "The most beautiful creature in the world." She successfully appealed for the lives of the rebels involved in the Evil May Day for the sake of their families. Furthermore, Catherine won widespread admiration by starting an extensive programme for the relief of the poor. She was also a patron of Renaissance humanism, and a friend of the great scholars Erasmus of Rotterdam and Saint Thomas More.

Ngo Dinh Diem
Ngô Đình Diệm (, , ), (January 3, 1901 – November 2, 1963) was the first President of South Vietnam (1955–1963). In the wake of the French withdrawal from Indochina as a result of the 1954 Geneva Accords, Diệm led the effort to create the Republic of Vietnam. Accruing considerable US support due to his staunch anti-Communism, he achieved victory in a 1955 plebiscite that was widely considered fraudulent. Proclaiming himself the Republic's first President, he demonstrated considerable political skill in the consolidation of his power, and his rule proved authoritarian, elitist, nepotistic, and corrupt. A Catholic, Diệm pursued policies that rankled and oppressed the Republic's Montagnard natives and its Buddhist majority. Amid religious protests that garnered worldwide attention, Diệm lost the backing of his US patrons and was assassinated by Nguyen Van Nhung, the aide of ARVN General Dương Văn Minh on November 2, 1963, during a coup d'état that deposed his government. Upon learning of Diệm's ouster and death, Democratic Republic of Vietnam President Ho Chi Minh is reported to have said, "I can scarcely believe the Americans would be so stupid."

This lecture will explore and examine the role the arts have in wellness and healthcare and how they can facilitate and influence the healing process and expand self awareness. Both art making and healing are transformational processes. Personal art expression can be the basis for looking at the transformational processes of art, wellness and healing. This lecture will explore and examine the role of some of the different art forms, such as visual art, movement, enactment, poetry and music can have in promoting wellness, healing and expanding self awareness. The use of the arts as medicine is a viable means for working with wellness as well as chronic or terminal medical conditions. The arts are a valuable tool for helping to deal with thoughts and feelings about the past, present and future, and to uniquely express through these highly personal non-verbal means of communication. The creative arts offers opportunities to express emotion ,enhance wellness, promote relaxation, increase communication, reduce pain and empower through vital participation in a life affirming activity .

Devon Ke Dev... Mahadev - 22nd February 2012
Mahadev tells Sati that it is impossible for them to meet because she is the daughter of Prajapati Daksh. He takes Sati to the graveyard and tells her about the limitations of a human body. Prajapati Daksh gets furious on seeing Sati with Shiva and plans to punish her to death. However, Mahadev's miracle saves Sati from the ire of her father. An angry Mahadev reminds Daksh of his duty and declares his death.
