"Mysterium tremendum et fascinans" is a Latin phrase for sacred mysterious awe and grace.

As mysterium, the numinous is "wholly other"-- entirely different from anything we experience in ordinary life. It evokes a reaction of silence. But the numinous is also a mysterium tremendum. It provokes terror because it presents itself as overwhelming power. Finally, the numinous presents itself as fascinans, as merciful and gracious. (Gregory D. Alles )

Origin
From

The phrase is commonly attributed to Rudolf Otto writing about the Numinous feeling of the divine.

However, the phrase is also known as the "Rudolf Otto virus" because it may have in fact been coined much later in a book written about Otto.

Joseph Campbell has the authentic mysterium tremendum in Oriental Mythology (1962), as does Roy A. Rappaport in Ritual & Religion in the Making of Humanity (1999).

In The Sacred & the Profane and in Myths, Dreams & Mysteries (both 1957), Mircea Eliade adds his own coinage, mysterium fascinans, to Otto's mysterium tremendum. In view of this, it seems likely that it was Eliade who coined the phrase mysterium tremendum et fascinans in some other of his many works.

Søren Kierkegaard in "Fear and Trembling" (1843, original Danish title: Frygt og Bæven under the pseudonym Johannes de Silentio, meaning roughly John the Silent in English) introduces the "knight of faith" who relinquishes everything, and also trusts that he will receive it all back. An important theme is the conflict between theology and philosophy. According to Kierkegaard, mid-19th-century secular philosophers laughed at faith and saw no mystery in the story of Abraham while professing to find Hegel's philosophy exceedingly difficult.

The word "Trembling" is a reference to a line from Philippians 2:12, "...continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling."

Postmodern interpretation
From Post-modernism and its secrets: religion without religion (Cross Currents, Wntr, 2003  by Clayton Crockett)

The essence of the Christian secret is the mysterium tremendum. Derrida focuses on the tremendum, and reads Patocka under the pressure of Kierkegaard's Fear and Trembling. Trembling lies at the heart of ethical responsibility and moral reason, and we tremble in the face of a dreaded (even if desired) secret. "As different as dread, fear, anxiety, terror, panic or anguish remain from one another," Derrida explains, "they have already begun in trembling, and what has provoked them continues, or threatens to continue, to make us tremble. Most often we neither know what is coming nor see its origin; it therefore remains a secret." (45) Trembling is a physical affect that seizes the body and the soul, but "(o)ne doesn't know why one trembles." (46) Derrida compares the symptom of trembling with that of tears, which becomes part of the title and an important theme of Caputo's work. Trembling, like weeping, concerns a response whose cause is deeply mysterious yet exceedingly intimate, "the cause closest to our body. " (47) From the body, Derrida shifts registers to God, and remarks that the cause of the trembling in the mysterium tremendum is "the gift of infinite love... We fear and tremble before the inaccessible secret of a God who decides for us although we remain responsible, that is, free to decide, to work, to assume our life and our death." (48)

The West's Asleep is a traditional Irish Song written by Thomas Davis. The words are as follows:

The West's Asleep (Thomas Davis)

When all beside a vigil keep, The West's asleep, the West's asleep- Alas! and well may Erin weep, When Connaught lies in slumber deep. There lake and plain smile fair and free, 'Mid rocks-their guardian chivalry- Sing oh! let man learn liberty From crashing wind and lashing sea.

That chainless wave and lovely, land Freedom and Nationhood demand- Be sure, the great God never plann'd, For slumbering slaves, a home so grand. And, long, a brave and haughty race Honoured and sentinelled the place- Sing oh! not even their sons' disgrace Can quite destroy their glory's trace.

For often, in O'Connor's van, To triumph dash'd each Connaught clan- And fleet as deer the Normans ran Through Coirrsliabh Pass and Ard Rathain.* And later times saw deeds as brave; And glory guards Clanricarde's grave- Sing oh! they died their land to save, At Aughrim's slopes and Shannon's wave.

And if, when all a vigil keep, The West's; asleep, the West's asleep- Alas! and well may Erin weep, That Connaught lies in slumber deep. But-hark! -some voice like thunder spake: " The West's awake, the West's awake'- Sing oh! hurra! let England quake, We'll watch till death for Erins sake!"

This decision of the enlarged board of appeal of the EPO was subsequently overturned in the later decision G9/93. It is therefore of historical interest, rather than reflecting current legal practice. Under G1/84 it was permissible for a patent proprietor to oppose his own European patent (since patents can be opposed by "any person" - Art 99(1) EPC).

However this is no longer the case according to G9/93. A patent proprieter is explicitly barred from opposing his own patent. Such a procedure would have been useful for example to enable centralised post grant amendment of a European patent, at a lower cost than amendment of each nationally validated European patent.

Future legal developments
The present lack of a centralised procedure for the amendment of granted European patents is being addressed in the EPC 2000, which is due to come into force in December 2007.

Athletes for Hope is a 501 (c)(3) charitable organization founded by 12 prominent athletes of exemplary character who share a deep commitment to philanthropy. The organization educates and encourages professional athletes about ways to get involved in the community, connects them with charitable organizations and events, and recognizes these efforts in order to inspire and pass the passion of philanthropy onto others.

1. History

In 2005, Andre Agassi, Lance Armstrong, Mia Hamm and the leaders of their charitable foundations began discussing the formation of an organization to support athletes who share their desire to help others. After eighteen months of work, they founded Athletes for Hope in 2006. In April 2007 all 12 Founding Athletes:Andre Agassi, Muhammad Ali, Lance Armstrong, Warrick Dunn, Jeff Gordon, Mia Hamm, Tony Hawk, Andrea Jaeger, Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Mario Lemieux, Alonzo Mourning, and Cal Ripken, Jr publicly launched Athletes for Hope in an effort to inspire and help other athletes to get involved in philanthropy as well as inspire millions of non-athletes to volunteer and to support community and charitable organizations throughout the world. The 12 founding athletes have to-date raised more than half a billion dollars for charity and they founded Athletes for Hope as a way to connect thousands of athletes with businesses and individuals to support community and charitable causes.

2. Launch

In April 2007, Athletes for Hope was launched on live network television with an appearance on Good Morning America featuring eight of the 12 Founding Athletes and four additional segments on ESPN. With the Athletes for Hope launch as the centerpiece of a week about athlete philanthropy, Good Morning America also ran programs about Andre Agassi’s College Preparatory Academy in Las Vegas and Muhammad Ali’s Center in Louisville, Kentucky. Within the first few days following the launch, over 100 professional athletes and charities reached out to the organization to get involved.

3. Misson and Purpose

Athletes for Hope’s mission is to educate, encourage and assist athletes in their efforts to contribute to community and charitable causes, to increase public awareness of those efforts, and to inspire others to do the same.

Its purpose is three-fold: First, Athletes for Hope works to educate athletes about the opportunity to contribute to community and charitable causes. Athletes, with the proper information and tools, can make a tremendous positive impact on the charitable community. By connecting with professional athletes and teaching them about their philanthropic options, Athletes for Hope equips them with the tools to effectively give back to their community, educate their peers, and inspire others to support charitable causes.

Second, Athletes for Hope connects athletes with charities, corporations, and individuals to create a movement for positive change. Athletes for Hope believes that many athletes have strong philanthropic objectives, yet do not know how to identify and get involved with organizations that best suit those objectives; likewise, many charities do not know how to utilize an athlete's time efficiently to best serve their objectives. Athletes for Hope matches athletes' philanthropic goals with the needs of charities. Athletes for Hope also works with businesses that want enhance their philanthropic efforts by partnering with the professional athlete community. The organization helps corporations design and implement effective charitable activities and programs that involve athletes.

Finally, Athletes for Hope recognizes the hard work and contributions that professional athletes make in the charitable world and further increases public awareness of these efforts. There is an undeniable bond between athletes and their fans, and Athletes for Hope builds upon this connection to inspire millions of people to follow the lead of athletes to become a part of the philanthropic movement. Through recognition, Athletes for Hope celebrates the significant impact athletes can have on the lives of others, shows its gratitude for their dedication to making a difference, increases the visibility of the athletes, charities and businesses involved, and inspires others to become part of the philanthropic movement.

4. Passing the Passion

Athlete for Hope’s tagline “Pass the Passion” represents its 12 Founding Athletes’ desire to pass their passion for philanthropy onto others in the sports community. It is also a call to action to the general public to find their passion, get active in their local communities, and inspire others to do the same. Each of the Founding Athletes wears an AFH Tag, bearing the Athletes for Hope logo and tagline. Each AFH Tag represents support not only for all 12 Founding Athletes and the work they do, but also for philanthropy in general. The Tags do not represent one specific cause, but instead signify a commitment to philanthropy and the passion to create positive change in the world. These Tags can be purchased online at [].

OC-TV is the official television channel for Ocean City High School in Ocean City, NJ USA. Founded in 2004, it's purpose is to inform and entertain. The most notable program regularly produced is "The Morning Wave", also branded as "TMW". It airs weekly and is rebroadcast to communities such as Upper Township (on UT-TV) & Ocean City (on Access 2 Ocean City). "TMW" was piloted on UT-TV for a brief stint in the late fall of 2006 until the early spring of 2007. The show features high production values coupled with an up-beat style of delivery while maintaining the standard news format. Students are responsible for all phases of production from concept to on air live delivery. Its technical crew members have worked on motion picture sets and gone on to expand their skills as young journalists/directors at universities and colleges throughout America.

Other endeavors the cast/crew have been tasked with include the production of "Mayor's Forum", "Access2OC", and state-wide public service announcements (PSAs) regarding traffic and pedestrian safety. The 30 second PSA spots have aired in rest stops along major routes and interstate roads throughout NJ, on local network television, and cable television (as well as local access/gov't access channels). OC-TV has a partnership with the SJTSA (Southern New Jersey Traffic Safety Alliance) for such PSA work. In 2006, the production students of OC-TV at OCHS were featured on Comcast NewsMakers, a television round-table discussion style program (on CN8).

Behind the creation of OC-TV and its members are its full-time professional staff. The students are led by executive producer & instructor Greg Wheeldon (a former Warner Bros. animator who came to OC-TV with extensive background & experience in the film/education industries) and Steven Trauger (television facility engineer and broadcast designer whose production credits range the gamut from broadcast & network television to regional & campaign advertising).
