DEE’S DELIGHTS TEABERRY ICE CREAM, A HOME TOWN FAVORITE IT MAY BE A BIT OLD-FASHIONED, BUT IT’S A FLAVOR OF ICE CREAM THAT REMAINS A FAVORITE AMONG MANY WHO CALL THE KEYSTONE STATE HOME. I’M OF COURSE TALKING ABOUT TEABERRY, A BUBBLE-GUM PINK ICE CREAM THAT DOESN’T TASTE AT ALL LIKE TEA OR BERRIES. SO, WHAT IS TEABERRY? TEABERRY IS A SMALL RED FRUIT FOUND THROUGHOUT THE MOUNTAIN RANGES OF BOTH EASTERN AND WESTERN PA. THE BERRY USED FOR FLAVOR IS ALSO KNOWN AS THE CHECKERBERRY, BOXBERRY, AND AMERICAN WINTERGREEN. FOR THE UNINITIATED, TEABERRY IS A PECULIAR ICE CREAM FLAVOR. THE COLOR, A VIBRANTLY HAPPY SHADE OF PINK, MAKES YOU THINK OF STRAWBERRY OR ANOTHER BERRY, ESPECIALLY WITH “BERRY” AS PART OF THE NAME. BUT THERE’S NO BERRY FLAVOR AT ALL. THERE’S ALSO NO TEA FLAVOR. TEABERRY IS SWEET, A TOUCH TART, AND TASTES MUCH LIKE WINTERGREEN. IT MAKES MANY PEOPLE THINK OF CLARK’S TEABERRY GUM. IN FACT, A MAN NAMED CHARLES BURKE EXPERIMENTED WITH CHEWING GUM FLAVORS IN HIS PITTSBURGH BASEMENT. HE CONCOCTED A ROSE-PINK STICK AND SOLD THE PATENT CLARK. THE GUM AND FLAVOR BECAME IMMENSELY POPULAR IN THE ’60S AND ’70S. IF YOU LIKE WINTERGREEN, YOU’LL LOVE TEABERRY. NEXT TIME TRY A SCOOP. YOU’LL LOVE IT AS I DO. 5 THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE LEANING TOWER OF PISA BEGAN IN AUGUST 1173. IT WAS INTERRUPTED SEVERAL TIMES BY WARS AND DEBT AND WHILE ENGINEERS WORKED ON WAYS TO CORRECT THE LEAN. WE HAVE NOW LEARNED THAT THOSE INTERRUPTIONS AL- LOWED THE SOIL TO COMPRESS AND KEPT THE TOWER FROM TOP- PLING OVER. THE TOWER WAS EVENTUALLY COMPLETED IN THE MID-1300S. THE TOWER AS MEANT TO BE THE BELLTOWER FOR A GRAND CATHEDRAL COMPLEX CALLED THE “FIELD OF MIRACLES”. THE CITY OF PISA WAS A SIMPLE BUT IMPORTANT SEAPORT. AS IT GREW, THE CITY WANTED TO BUILD MORE AND LARGER RELIGIOUS BUILDINGS. THE FAME AND POWER OF THE CITY GREW AS THE CITY AND PEOPLE WERE INVOLVED IN MILITARY CONFLICTS. THE CITY OF PISA WANTED TO SHOW THE WORLD HOW IMPORTANT THEY WERE BY BUILDING THIS CATHEDRAL COMPLEX. THE REAL IDENTITY OF THE TOWER OF PISA’S ARCHITECT IS A MYSTERY. MOST ATTRIBUTE THE IDENTITY OF THE ARCHITECT FOR THE FIRST PHASE OF WORK TO BONANNO PISANO AND GHERARO DIN GHERARDO. THE SECOND PHASE OF CONSTRUCTION STARTED IN 1275 AND THE WORK IS CREDITED TO GIOVANI DI SIMONE. TAMMASO PISANO WAS THE ARCHITECT WHO FINISHED THE WORK. THE LEANING OF THE TOWER OF PISA COMES INTO THE STORY IN 1173, WHEN CONSTRUCTION BEGAN. DUE TO THE SOFT GROUND, IT HAD BEGUN TO LEAN BY THE TIME ITS BUILDERS GOT TO THE SECOND STORY IN 1178. THE SOFT GROUND CONSISTING OF CLAY, FINE SAND AND SHELLS HAD DESTABILIZED THE TOWER’S FOUNDATION. OVER THE NEXT 800 YEARS, IT BECAME CLEAR THE THE TOWER WASN’T JUST LEANING BUT WAS FALLING AT A RATE OF 1 TO 2 MILLIMETERS PER YEAR. TODAY, THE LEANING TOWER OF PISA IS MORE THAN 5 METERS OFF PERPENDICULAR! THE LEAN WAS FIRST NOTED AFTER THE THIRD STORY BEGAN TO BE BUILT. THE NEXT STORIES WERE BUILT SLIGHTLY TALLER ON THE SHORT SIDE OF THE TOWER IN AN ATTEMPT TO COMPENSATE FOR THE LEAN. HOWEVER, THE WEIGHT OF THE EXTRA FLOORS CAUSED THE EDIFICE TO SINK FURTHER AND LEAN MORE. 6 PASTOR SPRING’S THINGS BETHANY AND HANNAH GORALSKI ARE TWIN 25-YEAR-OLD SISTERS WHO EACH DONATED A KIDNEY TO SEPARATE STRANGERS EARLIER BIBLE THIS YEAR. THEIR DAD DIED OF KIDNEY FAILURE LAST YEAR BEFORE THEY HAD THE CHANCE TO DONATE TO HIM. TO HONOR HIS REMARKABLE GENEROSITY WITH OTHERS, THEY STUDY ELECTED TO GIVE LIFE TO SOMEONE ELSE. THEIR DECISION TRIGGERED A CHAIN REACTION OF ANONYMOUS KIDNEY DONATIONS FROM FRIENDS OF THE PEOPLE WHO BENEFITED FROM THEIR GIFT, AND THEN FROM FRIENDS OF OTHERS WHO HAD NEW LIFE THANKS TO THE SUCCESSION OF DONORS. IN THE END, NORTHWESTERN MEMORIAL HOSPITAL, IN CHICAGO, HELPED COORDINATE TEN DONORS AND TEN RECIPIENTS, WITH POTENTIALLY EVEN MORE TO COME.

SETTING THE STAGE At the turn of the century between the 1200s and 1300s, church and state seemed in good shape, but trouble was brewing. The Church seemed to be thriving. Ideals of fuller political representation seemed to be developing in France and England. However, the 1300s were filled with disasters, both natural and manmade. By the end of the century, the medieval way of life was beginning to disappear. A Church Divided At the beginning of the 1300s, the papacy seemed in some ways still strong. Soon, however, both pope and Church were in desperate trouble. Pope and King Collide The pope in 1300 was an able but stubborn Italian. Pope Boniface VIII attempted to enforce papal authority on kings as previous popes had. When King Philip IV of France asserted his authority over French bishops, Boniface responded with a papal bull (an official document issued by the pope). It stated, “We declare, state, and define that subjection to the Roman Vocabulary Pontiff is absolutely necessary for the salvation of every Pontiff: the pope. human creature.” In short, kings must always obey popes.

    Brief History of the Diocese 1300s ‐ The first to establish settlements in the North Country were t he Iroquois (14th century). 1600s ‐ French, Dutch, and English fur‐traders came; followed shortly after by the French missionaries, Father Issac Joques, S.J. companions who were martyred establishing the first missions among the Five Nations. For a long time the Church of the North Country was served by the Bishops of Quebec because of the intolerance of the English and later the American Rule. The Catholic Church was suspect because of the ties to the English enemy, France. 1752 – The mission of The Holy Trinity at La Presentation Fort (Ogdensburg) was established May 29, 1952. 1808 – Established as part of the Diocese of New York. 1847 – Established as part of the Diocese of Albany. 1872 ‐ The Diocese of Ogdensburg was acknowledged on February 16, 1872 by Pope Pius IX, “We, with definite knowledge, mature deliberation, and by our Apostolic Authority, in virtue of the present document, separate and sever from the Diocese of Albany, the following territory – the counties of St. Lawrence, Franklin, Clinton, Jefferson, Lewis and Essex, together with part of the counties of Herkimer and Hamilton which lies above the northern line of the townships of Ohio and Russia; and this same territory we erect and constitute as a true and properly called diocese.” Ref.

  • The Early Middle Ages

    The Early Middle Ages

    The Early Middle Ages After the collapse of Rome, Western Europe entered a period of political, social, and economic decline. From about 500 to 1000, invaders swept across the region, trade declined, towns emptied, and classical learning halted. For those reasons, this period in Europe is sometimes called the “Dark Ages.” However, Greco-Roman, Germanic, and Christian traditions eventually blended, creating the medieval civilization. This period between ancient times and modern times – from about 500 to 1500 – is called the Middle Ages. The Frankish Kingdom The Germanic tribes that conquered parts of the Roman Empire included the Goths, Vandals, Saxons, and Franks. In 486, Clovis, king of the Franks, conquered the former Roman province of Gaul, which later became France. He ruled his land according to Frankish custom, but also preserved much of the Roman legacy by converting to Christianity. In the 600s, Islamic armies swept across North Africa and into Spain, threatening the Frankish kingdom and Christianity. At the battle of Tours in 732, Charles Martel led the Frankish army in a victory over Muslim forces, stopping them from invading France and pushing farther into Europe. This victory marked Spain as the furthest extent of Muslim civilization and strengthened the Frankish kingdom. Charlemagne After Charlemagne died in 814, his heirs battled for control of the In 786, the grandson of Charles Martel became king of the Franks. He briefly united Western empire, finally dividing it into Europe when he built an empire reaching across what is now France, Germany, and part of three regions with the Treaty of Italy.

The study of the Venerable Bede focuses on his views on and understanding of time, especially its relation to the Easter computus. The second study is a historiography of the Great Famine of 1315-1322, with an emphasis on the environmental aspects of the catastrophe. The third paper is a study of the libraries that were provided for German soldiers in prisoner of war camps in the United States during World War II, which includes an analysis of the role of reading in the United States’ attempt to re-educate the German prisoners.

In this paper, We focUs on one of manY related issUes – the link betWeen popUlation siZe (one of manY possible indices of hUman Well- being), atmospheric carbon dioXide (CO2), and climate dUring the pre- indUstrial portion of the historical interVal.

In the first section of this paper, We focUs on the major mUlti-regional depopUlation interVals identified in historical records.

  • Covenants and the Law of Proof, 1290–1321 John Baker It Is

    Covenants and the Law of Proof, 1290–1321 John Baker It Is

    DEEDS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS: COVENANTS AND THE LAW OF PROOF, 1290–1321 John Baker It is somewhat rash to venture an opinion on late-thirteenth-century law in the presence of one who knows everything there is to know about the law of that period, but since this seems to be the one topic on which Pro- fessor Brand has not yet pronounced perhaps these musings will provoke a definitive response from him. The question is, when and why did the central courts of Common Law come to insist on specialty, a sealed writ- ing, to prove a covenant. The contradictory literature is profoundly per- plexing to those of us who have found ourselves lecturing on the history of the law of contract; but our starting point is on fairly clear ground. There are four basic assertions which can be made with reasonable confidence. First, contrary to what was once sometimes thought,1 it was not an immemorial rule that a deed was required. There is no clear indication in the records of a rule requiring a deed before the 1290s,2 and we still find covenant cases being tried by jury or wager of law in that decade; but there are signs in the year books of an emerging rule in the 1290s and 1300s, and an invariable rule after 1321. Secondly, the rule applied at first in some actions of covenant and not in others; and it could sometimes apply to covenants pleaded in other forms of action. It was not therefore, in origin, a rule about a specific form of action, but about the underlying elements of the action.

  • Goose Management and Rearing in Late Medieval Eastern England, C.1250–1400*

    Goose Management and Rearing in Late Medieval Eastern England, C.1250–1400*

    Goose management and rearing in late medieval eastern England, c.1250–1400* by Philip Slavin Abstract: The present article discusses goose farming on late medieval English demesnes. The research is based on over 2,700 manorial (demesne) accounts from several eastern counties, including Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk, Cambridgeshire, Huntingdonshire and parts of the Peterborough hinterland. The paper discusses various strategies employed by lords and their reeves, chronological dynamics and geographic differences in rearing, disposal and consumption patterns. Finally, the place of the goose in the livestock trade is discussed. These aspects are linked to larger economic and ecological processes within the shifting environment of late medieval England. Although pre-industrial diets in England were dominated by grain products in the form of bread, pottage and ale, ‘complementary’ foodstuffs, consisting of dairy products, fish and meat, and including poultry, played a significant role in consumption. Poultry husbandry in general, and goose farming in particular, have attracted little scholarly attention.1 The present study * I wish to thank Bruce M. S. Campbell of Queen’s University, Belfast and Tim Newfield of McGill University, Montreal, as well as two anonymous reviewers for their most helpful suggestions. All errors remain mine. 1 M.
