Mission (Christianity)
Christian mission is "an organized effort for the propagation of the Christian faith."
Missions often involve sending individuals and groups, called "missionaries," across boundaries, most commonly geographical boundaries, for the purpose of proselytism (conversion to Christianity, or from one Christian tradition to another). This involves evangelism (preaching a set of beliefs for the purpose of conversion), and humanitarian work, especially among the poor and disadvantaged. There are a few different kinds of mission trips: short-term, long-term, relational and ones meant simply for helping people in need. Some might choose to dedicate their whole lives to missions as well. Missionaries have the authority to preach the Christian faith (and sometimes to administer sacraments), and provide humanitarian work to improve economic development, literacy, education, health care, and orphanages. Christian doctrines (such as the "Doctrine of Love" professed by many missions) permit the provision of aid without requiring religious conversion.
Mission olive
The Mission olive is a cultivar of olive developed in California, by Spanish missions along El Camino Real in the late 18th century. The Mission olive has been included in the Ark of Taste, an international catalog of endangered heritage foods maintained by the Slow Food movement. It is also the only American olive cultivar listed by the International Olive Council in its World Catalogue of Olive Varieties. Although developed in the United States, Mission olives are also used by South African olive oil producers.
Description
Mission trees can reach heights of 40 and 50 feet (12 and 15 m). They produce small fruit, typically of around 4.1 grams (0.14 oz). It has the lowest flesh-to-pit ratio (6.5:1) and greatest cold resistance of any commercial cultivar in California. Mission olives are harvested for table use from late October through November; for oil production, they are harvested between mid-December and February. They are susceptible to peacock spot, a disease caused by the fungus Cycloconium oleaginum, and olive knot, a disease caused by the bacterium Pseudomonas savastanoi.
'Mission' is featured as a movie character in the following productions:
The Cool World (1963)
Actors: Gary Bolling (actor), Jay Brooks (actor), Ted Butler (actor), Evadney Canegata (actor), William Canegata (actor), Claude Cave (actor), Rony Clanton (actor), Dean Cohen (actor), Alfred Collymore (actor), Peter De Anda (actor), Joe Dennis (actor), Bert Donaldson (actor), Bruce Edwards (actor), Lloyd Edwards (actor), Val Bisoglio (actor),
Plot: Filmmaker Shirley Clarke ("The Connection") directs this powerful, stark semi-documentary look at the horrors of Harlem ghetto slum life filled with drugs, violence, human misery, and a sense of despair due to the racial prejudices of American society. There is no patronizing of the black race in this cinematic cry for justice. A fifteen-year-old boy called Duke is ambitious to buy a "piece" (a gun) from an adult racketeer named Priest, to become president of the gang to which he belongs, and to return them to active "bopping" (gang fighting) which has declined in Harlem. It is a clearly patent allegory of an attempt by Duke to attain manhood and identity in the only way accessible to him - the antisocial one.

Blush
She's got her hands on my steering wheel driving my car and I'm just the passenger taking me to heaven again and I'm getting there too fast for her
And when she takes a dangerous curve a swerve it makes me rush And when she puts her foot on the brake it slows me down and makes me blush
Sometimes when she drives too fast I lose control and then we crash (crash-crash, bang-bang, smash-smash)
close my eyes when she overtakes I don't wanna see a head on smash (bang-bang, smash-smash, bang-bang, smash)
And when she takes a dangerous curve a swerve it makes me rush And when she puts her foot on the brake it slows me down and makes me blush
And when she shifts it into fifth I'm along with her for the ride And when she hits the open road I explode and we collide What a ride
And when she takes a dangerous ride a swerve it makes me rush And when she puts her foot on the brake it slows me down and makes me blush
