" a Great and Lasting Beginning": Bishop John Mcmullen's
22 Catholic Education/June 2005 ARTICLES “A GREAT AND LASTING BEGINNING”: BISHOP JOHN MCMULLEN’S EDUCATIONAL VISION AND THE FOUNDING OF ST. AMBROSE UNIVERSITY GEORGE W. MCDANIEL St. Ambrose University Catholic education surfaces as a focus and concern in every age of the U.S. Catholic experience. This article examines the struggles in one, small Midwestern diocese surrounding the establishment and advancement of Catholic education. Personal rivalries, relationship with Rome, local politics, finances, responding to broader social challenges, and the leadership of cler- gy were prominent themes then, as they are now. Numerous historical insights detailed here help to explain the abiding liberal character of Catholicism in the Midwestern United States. n the spring of 1882, Bishop John McMullen, who had been in the new IDiocese of Davenport for about 6 months, met with Father Henry Cosgrove, the pastor of St. Marguerite’s (later Sacred Heart) Cathedral. “Where shall we find a place to give a beginning to a college?” McMullen asked. Cosgrove’s response was immediate: “Bishop, I will give you two rooms in my school building.” “All right,” McMullen said, “let us start at once” (The Davenport Democrat, 1904; Farrell, 1982, p. iii; McGovern, 1888, p. 256; Schmidt, 1981, p. 111). McMullen’s desire to found a university was not as impetuous as it may have seemed. Like many American Catholic leaders in the 19th century, McMullen viewed education as a way for a growing immigrant Catholic population to advance in their new country. Catholic education would also serve as a bulwark against the encroachment of Protestant ideas that formed the foundation of public education in the United States. -

Environmental consciousness in the early 19 th century commonly operated on two interrelated layers. -
Cardinal Numbers: Changing Patterns of Malaria and Mortality in Rome
Journal of Interdisciplinary History, XLIX:3 (Winter, 2019), 397–417. Benjamin Reilly Cardinal Numbers: Changing Patterns of Malaria and Mortality in Rome, 494–1850 For the past two millennia, Rome has probably attracted more foreign visitors from Europe than any other European city. As the seat of an ancient empire, and the theoretical capital of the revived Holy Roman Empire founded by Charlemagne in 800, Rome was for centuries highly coveted by German monarchs seeking the imperial crown, not to mention territory, influence, and revenue south of the Alps. Pilgrims came to Rome in a steady stream from at least the eighth century; after 1300, these streams swelled into rivers during the years of the holy Jubilees. Moreover, as the mother city of the mother church, Rome attracted a parade of litigants, job-seekers, envoys, and diplomats from every corner of Europe, as well as newly elected bishops and archbishops who were encouraged, or required, to have their offices validated by the pope. Rome was also a city of the arts, not just because of the still-standing ves- tiges of antiquity but also because of the Church’s patronage of resident colonies of painters, artists, and scholars, who attracted “Grand Tourists” from the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries. Many roads, and many motives, carried Europeans to Rome.1 Unfortunately, these roads led to a destination rendered dan- gerous by endemic malarial fevers.

Greenfield, P. N. 2011. Virgin Territory
_____________________________________ VIRGIN TERRITORY THE VESTALS AND THE TRANSITION FROM REPUBLIC TO PRINCIPATE _____________________________________ PETA NICOLE GREENFIELD 2011 Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Classics and Ancient History The University of Sydney ABSTRACT _____________________________________ The cult of Vesta was vital to the city of Rome. The goddess was associated with the City’s very foundation, and Romans believed that the continuity of the state depended on the sexual and moral purity of her priestesses. In this dissertation, Virgin Territory: The Vestals and the Transition from Republic to Principate, I examine the Vestal cult between c. 150 BCE and 14 CE, that is, from the beginning of Roman domination in the Mediterranean to the establishment of authoritarian rule at Rome. Six aspects of the cult are discussed: the Vestals’ relationship with water in ritual and literature; a re-evaluation of Vestal incestum (unchastity) which seeks a nuanced approach to the evidence and examines the record of incestum cases; the Vestals’ extra-ritual activities; the Vestals’ role as custodians of politically sensitive documents; the Vestals’ legal standing relative to other Roman women, especially in the context of Augustus’ moral reform legislation; and the cult’s changing relationship with the topography of Rome in light of the construction of a new shrine to Vesta on the Palatine after Augustus became pontifex maximus in 12 BCE. It will be shown that the cult of Vesta did not survive the turmoil of the Late Republic unchanged, nor did it maintain its ancient prerogative in the face of Augustus’ ascendancy. -

Using Climate Analogues for Assessing Climate Change Economic Impacts in Urban Areas
Climatic Change (2007) 82:47–60 DOI 10.1007/s10584-006-9161-z Using climate analogues for assessing climate change economic impacts in urban areas Stéphane Hallegatte & Jean-Charles Hourcade & Philippe Ambrosi Received: 15 February 2005 /Accepted: 8 June 2006 / Published online: 15 February 2007 # Springer Science + Business Media B.V. 2007 Abstract This paper aims at proposing a way to get round the intrinsic deadlocks of the economic assessment of climate change impacts (absence of consistent baseline scenario and of credible description of adaptation behaviours under uncertainty). First, we use climate scenarios from two models of the PRUDENCE project (HadRM3H and ARPEGE) to search for cities whose present climates can be considered as reasonable analogues of the future climates of 17 European cities. These analogues meet rather strict criteria in terms of monthly mean temperature, total annual precipitations and monthly mean precipitations. Second, we use these analogues as a heuristic tool to understand the main features of the adaptation required by climate change. The availability of two analogues for each city provides a useful estimate of the impact of uncertainty on the required adaptation efforts. Third, we carry out a cost assessment for various adaptation strategies, taking into account the cost of possible ill-adaptations due to wrong anticipations in a context of large uncertainty (from sunk-costs to lock-in in suboptimal adaptation choices). We demonstrate the gap between an enumerative approach under perfect expectation and a calculation accounting for uncertainty and spillover effects on economic growth. S. Hallegatte (*) : J.-C.

Born in Palermo Sicily in 1898 he inherited his ducal title in 1921. While a houseguest of Cole and Linda Porter in Venice in 1925, Fulco met one of the most significant people in his young life – Mme Coco Chanel. Coco was intrigued by the attractive young nobleman and invited him to Paris. He helped her remake the jewelry given to her by wealthy admirers and created her signature Maltese Cross Cuffs. Verdura was her jewelry designer until 1934 when the Porters lured him to New York. Fulco loved their sky-high palace in the Waldorf Towers but the rest of America beckoned. Together he and Nicky de Gunsburg bought a Packard convertible and motored to Palm Beach, then to the Paley’s in Mexico and finally on to Hollywood. With his excellent introductions Verdura was soon creating bold and innovative jewelry for film stars including Joan Crawford, Marlene Dietrich, Tyrone Power, Gary Cooper and Katherine Hepburn. -
HISTORY and CURIOSITY 1. the Writing on the Terrina
HISTORY AND CURIOSITY The writer’s corner, Claudio Colaiacomo” Discover curiosities and secrets of Rome ; The stories below concern places very close to Palazzo Olivia: 1. Piazza della Chiesa Nuova (The writing on the Terrina) 2. Piazza della Cancelleria (The underground lake beneath the Palace of the Chancellery) 3. Via del Governo Vecchio (Pasquin) 4. Via Giulia (The cemetery of the drowned dead) Based on ebook “Keep calm e passeggia per Roma”, Claudio Colaiacomo, Edizioni Newton-Compton, 2015 - www.newtoncompton.com 1. The writing on the Terrina The fountain in the square overlooking the Chiesa Nuova has a rather unusual history. Its nickname is the Terrina and it was designed and sculpted by Giacomo della Porta in the XVI century to adorn the center of Piazza Campo de 'Fiori. At that time it was quite different; it did not have the cover we see today and the basin was decorated with two bronze dolphins. The funny cover was an expedient designed as a solution to the misuse the fountain was subjected to, when it was used as a dustbin for market waste. Perhaps offended initially by the abuse received from the people and then by its unrewarding cover, the fountain moved in 1889 to make way for the statue of Giordano Bruno. It was only in 1921 that it appeared in its current day location, inside an attractive rectangular basin. On the surface of the cover one can just about make out a mysterious inscription dated to 1622 that reads” ama dio e non fallire fa del bene e lassa dire” "Love God, fail not, do good and abide not by what others say". -
Cool Roofs in Smart Cities
COOL ROOFS IN SMART CITIES Implications for Urban Heat Island Mitigation and Building Energy Efficiency in Different Climate Zones MASTER THESIS IN RENEWABLE ENERGY Global Energy and Climate Development AUTHOR: ANJA LINDGAARD MOLNES SUPERVISOR: ASGEIR SORTEBERG UNIVERSITY OF BERGEN GEOPHYSICAL INSTITUTE JUNE 2018 ABSTRACT As climate change contributes to elevate urban temperatures, undesirable consequences like increased energy consumption, reduced air and water quality and elevated levels of thermal stress for the population continue to threaten the urban environment. It is paramount to address issues related to urban sustainability, environmental performance and energy demand as climate change intensifies and the urban population rapidly continues to grow. Smart city strategies to promote urban sustainability and efficiency are emerging, and mitigation of the urban heat island (UHI) effect through implementation of cool roofs can contribute to reduce these adverse effects by lowering urban temperatures and reducing the cooling loads of buildings and the associated GHG emissions. Through the use of a 1-D bulk urban canopy model combined with an atmospheric layer model, this thesis aims to build a framework for assessing the cool roof mitigation potential on the UHI effect and the associated response in cooling energy demand for the cities of Cairo, Chicago, Delhi, Rome and Singapore. The resulting change in cooling energy demand for space cooling were calculated using degree-days. The results displayed a general reduction in temperature after cool roofs were implemented for all cities, indicating a significant UHI mitigation potential. The magnitude of the UHI effect was reduced by 23-31% after the large-scale introduction of cool roofs, while the temperature-dependent energy demand during the summer period was also reduced, ranging from 10-33% between the different cities. -
Impact of Rcp4.5 Climate Change Scenario on the Bioclimatic Potential of Six Selected European Locations
M. Košir, et al., Int. J. Sus. Dev. Plann. Vol. 13, No. 8 (2018) 1090–1102 IMPACT OF RCP4.5 CLIMATE CHANGE SCENARIO ON THE BIOCLIMATIC potENTIAL OF SIX SELECTED EUROPEAN LOCATIONS M. KOŠIR1, J. POTOČNIK2 & L. PAJEK3 Faculty of Civil and Geodetic Engineering, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. ABSTRACT As the evidence for anthropogenic climate change is mounting, the need to evaluate its potential impacts in upcoming decades is becoming ever more important. As urbanised environments will be substantially affected, the evaluation of climate change impacts on building performance is crucial to ensure the sustainability and resilience of the built environment. In order to evaluate a building’s potential to adapt to the climatic conditions of its location, a bioclimatic analysis can be performed to determine and evaluate the potential for the application of bioclimatic design strategies (e.g. passive solar heating, shading, etc.). The presented paper reports on a bioclimatic analysis for the cities of Paris, Berlin, Ljubljana, Moscow, Rome and Madrid performed using the BcChart tool. Firstly, the bioclimatic potential in accordance with the ‘current’ climate state (i.e. 1980-2000 period) was deter- mined. Secondly, the current climate data were morphed using WeatherShift™ application and IPCC’s AR5 RCP4.5 climate change scenario. Then, the future bioclimatic potential was determined up to year 2100. In order to facilitate the scenario uncertainties, the analysis was conducted for the 10th and 90th percentile of mean daily temperature change. The results show that the projected climate change will result in a noticeable shift of bioclimatic potential in all of the analysed locations. -

March, 2014! ! ! ! © Bryan Natali 2014" ABSTRACT! !This dissertation explores the Roman idea of pietas in the late 1st century BC. It concentrates on the development of the idea from a marker of familial and religious responsibilities to its usage as a political tool of the late Roman Republic. The work examines the philosophical writings and letters of Cicero, the histories of Appian and Cassius Dio, and the Latin poetry of the late Republic and early principate. I will argue that pietas functions on a basis of gratitude which prompts obligation and reciprocal duty. These characteristics will be shown to be the basis of Roman familial and political relationships.
