    REPORT NSF GRANT #PHY-98143318 Title: The Distribution of an Illustrated Timeline Wall Chart and Teacher’s Guide of 20fhCentury Physics DOE Patent Clearance Granted December 26,2000 Principal Investigator, Brian Schwartz, The American Physical Society 1 Physics Ellipse College Park, MD 20740 301-209-3223 [email protected] BACKGROUND The American Physi a1 Society s part of its centennial celebration in March of 1999 decided to develop a timeline wall chart on the history of 20thcentury physics. This resulted in eleven consecutive posters, which when mounted side by side, create a %foot mural. The timeline exhibits and describes the millstones of physics in images and words. The timeline functions as a chronology, a work of art, a permanent open textbook, and a gigantic photo album covering a hundred years in the life of the community of physicists and the existence of the American Physical Society . Each of the eleven posters begins with a brief essay that places a major scientific achievement of the decade in its historical context. Large portraits of the essays’ subjects include youthful photographs of Marie Curie, Albert Einstein, and Richard Feynman among others, to help put a face on science. Below the essays, a total of over 130 individual discoveries and inventions, explained in dated text boxes with accompanying images, form the backbone of the timeline. For ease of comprehension, this wealth of material is organized into five color- coded story lines the stretch horizontally across the hundred years of the 20th century. The five story lines are: Cosmic Scale, relate the story of astrophysics and cosmology; Human Scale, refers to the physics of the more familiar distances from the global to the microscopic; Atomic Scale, focuses on the submicroscopic This report was prepared as an account of work sponsored by an agency of the United States Government.

  • ANNUAL REPORT 2020 Dear Friends
    Catholic Community FOUNDATION OF MINNESOTA onlyCOMMUNION IN THE MIDST OF CRISIS together ANNUAL REPORT 2020 Dear Friends, None of us will forget 2020 anytime soon. The pandemic, together with the social unrest in the wake of George Floyd’s unjust death, have taken a heavy toll. At the same time, I’m very proud of how our Catholic community has responded. In the midst of dual crises, in a time of fear and uncertainty, we have come together to help our neighbors and support Catholic organizations. Only together can we achieve success, as Archbishop Hebda says, “On our own, there’s little that we’re able to accomplish. It’s only with collaboration, involving the thinking and generosity of many folks that we’re able to put together a successful plan.” The Catholic Community Foundation of Minnesota (CCF) has never been better prepared to meet the challenges of the moment. Within days of the suspension of public Masses in March, CCF established onlyCOMMUNION IN THE MIDST OF CRISIS the Minnesota Catholic Relief Fund. Immediately, hundreds of generous people made extraordinary donations to support our local Catholic community. Shortly thereafter, CCF began deploying monies to parishes and schools in urgent need. This was all possible because CCF had the operational and relational infrastructure in place to act swiftly: the connections, the trust, the expertise, and the overwhelming support of our donors. CCF has proven it’s just as capable of serving the long-term needs of our Catholic community. together Through our Legacy Fund and a variety of endowments, individuals can support Catholic ministries in perpetuity, while parishes partner with CCF to safeguard their long-term financial stability.

  • REGINALD MILLS SILBY the Westminster Connection [Slide 1]
    “The Renewal of Sacred Music and the Liturgy in the Catholic Church: Movements Old and New,” Conference of the Church Music Association of America, October 15, 2013, St. Paul, Minnesota REGINALD MILLS SILBY The Westminster Connection [Slide 1] by Kevin Vogt, D.M.A. Prologue Good morning! My name is KEVIN VOGT. I am very happy to be with you at this conference celebrating the legacy of MONSIGNOR RICHARD SCHULER. This morning, I would like to introduce you to another figure in the recent history of Catholic sacred music in America, one that has been all but forgotten. His name is REGINALD MILLS SILBY. Monsignor Schuler may have heard of him, and Silby is indeed remembered by a handful of former choristers and students. As their generation passes, however, so will their memories of him—unless I share his story with you. In doing so, I will also shine light on the transmission from England to North America of a great musical tradition—that of London’s Westminster Cathedral. To set the stage for the connections I hope to make, please allow me a brief personal narrative, through which I will also introduce myself to you. Reginald Mills Silby: The Westminster Connection 1 | P a g e Connections Twenty years ago, I arrived in St. Paul to serve as director of liturgy and music at the magnificent cathedral we visited yesterday. [Slide 2] I knew of Monsignor Schuler at the time, but we never met during the three years I was here. The cathedral was a sleepy place, the parish having been decimated by highway construction during the 1960s.

  • St. John the Evangelist 150 Anniversary October 11, 2015
    ST. JOHN THE EVANGELIST 150TH ANNIVERSARY OCTOBER 11, 2015 Better one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere. Better the threshold of the house of my God than a home in the tents of the wicked. For a sun and shield is the LORD God, bestowing all grace and glory. The LORD withholds no good thing from those who walk without reproach. O LORD of hosts, blessed are those who trust in you! (Psalm 84) From Father Kevin Clinton, pastor 150 years ago began "a work in progress"! As your pastor I join Fr. Dave and Deacon Bob in congratulating the people of the Western Catholic Community and especially the folks that worship at St. John's Church in Union Hill. Thank you for celebrating the 150 years of faith community. We all stand on the shoulders of those who have gone before us. The hard work of the Union Hill immigrant pioneers started a "work in progress" that would be called St. John's of Union Hill. Coming from centuries of the cultural traditions and experience from European farms and villages, they knew it was vital to each immigrant and each family to start a church which would celebrate and nurture family, community and faith life. Of course all that would become "St. John's" was not in place 150 years ago, but the vision and the confidence in God being with the founders was certainly present. The timing and need of a faith community starting 150 years ago makes sense to me. The end of the Civil War had just happened and the trauma to the country was immense.

The faithful packed the main sanctuary to witness the two men as Bishop Kagan extended his hands over the men permanently changing their souls, drawing them into the most intimate union any man can enjoy with Christ. During the Rite of Ordination, Bishop Kagan anointed each man’s hands saying, “The Lord Jesus Christ, whom the Father anointed with the Holy Spirit and power, guard and preserve you that you may sanctify the Christian people and off er sacrifi ce to God.” The priest’s hands are anointed in order to sanctify the Christian people. The priest is confi gured to Jesus Christ, our great High Priest, by his sacerdotal ordination. This brings about a new relationship with Christ and to His Church.
