While ARVAs and ARVAism are the focus of this inquiry, the approaches, concepts and theories used are broadly applicable and therefore this investigation is potentially useful for any activist or group of activists wishing to interrogate and improve their persuasive practices.

  • The Scientific Legacy of the 20Th Century
    the Pontifical academy of ScienceS Plenary Session on The Scientific Legacy of the 20th Century 28 October-1 November 2010 • Casina Pio IV Prologue p . 3 Programme p. 4 List of Participants p. 8 Memorandum p. 10 em ad ia c S a c i e a n i t c i i a f i r t V n m o P VatICaN CIty 2010 ertainly the Church acknowledges that “with the help of science and technol - ogy…, man has extended his mastery over almost the whole of nature”, and thus C“he now produces by his own enterprise benefits once looked for from heavenly powers” ( Gaudium et Spes , 33). at the same time, Christianity does not posit an in - evitable conflict between supernatural faith and scientific progress. the very starting- point of Biblical revelation is the affirmation that God created human beings, endowed them with reason, and set them over all the creatures of the earth. In this way, man has become the steward of creation and God’s “helper”. If we think, for example, of how modern science, by predicting natural phenomena, has contributed to the protec - tion of the environment, the progress of developing nations, the fight against epidemics, and an increase in life expectancy, it becomes clear that there is no conflict between God’s providence and human enterprise. Indeed, we could say that the work of predict - ing, controlling and governing nature, which science today renders more practicable than in the past, is itself a part of the Creator’s plan. Science, however, while giving generously, gives only what it is meant to give.

  • Andrzej Szczeklik Krakow, Poland, 29 July 1938 - 3 Feb
    Andrzej Szczeklik Krakow, Poland, 29 July 1938 - 3 Feb. 2012 Nomination 16 Oct. 1994 Field Medicine Title Professor Commemoration – I am honored and grateful to speak in memory of our beloved colleague Andrezej Szczeklik. I met him for the first time at our Academy in 1994 and I will always remember his self-presentation, modest and to the point. He gave a moving testimony of his admiration and love for Pope John Paul II. A few years later he gave me as a gift his inspiring book Catharsis: On the Art of Medicine with a foreword by the great Polish humanist and poet Czes#aw Mi#osz. A continuation of this book is called Kore#: On Sickness, the Sick, and the Search for the Soul of Medicine, a suggestive title that reveals the spirit and mission of a man totally dedicated to his patients and to science. Andrezej Szczeklik was born in 1938 in Cracow, where he studied medicine. He did post-doctoral training and research at the Karolinska Institut, Uppsala University and North Carolina-Chapel Hill. He became professor and chairman of the Jagiellonian University School of Medicine, Cracow, and president of the Copernicus Academy of Medicine. He was a member of the Polish Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Royal College of Physicians, the American College of Physicians and the Pontifical Academy of Sciences. He became an active participant in all our Plenary Sessions. He received honorary doctorates from the Schools of Medicine of Wroc#aw, Warsaw, Katowice and #o#dz. He was awarded the Gloria Medicinae Medal by the Polish Society of Medicine.

We follow her attempts to keep them safe as their German city is bombed by the Allies, their town is faced with the swell- ing population of desperate refugees, and one son begins to mentally unravel. Each family member’s fateful choices lead them deeper into questions of complicity and innocence, to the novel’s unforgettable conclusion. Maria Hummel is a Stegner Fellow at Stanford University and her work has appeared in Ploughshares, The Sun, The Believer and has won a Pushcart Prize. Her first novel,Wilderness Run (SMP, 2002) was an alternate selection of Doubleday Lit Guild. Remaining Rights: Brandt & Hochman PEERLESS FOUR by Victoria Patterson World English | FICTION | November 2013 | Counterpoint | MSS January 2013 This slender yet powerful novel reimagines the true story of four young women who were among the first females to ever compete in the Olympic Games. It was the summer of 1928, and Valerie Patterson sensitively captures the time and place, the drama and the desire, the glory and the catastrophe of how these girls got there and what happened to them in Amsterdam that year.

  • Throughout the Centuries, Muses Defined Those
    hroughout the centuries, muses defined those people Twho have fueled the creative imaginations of the great minds of their day: artists, filmmakers, poets, fashion designers, musicians and writers. Many years ago, there existed a woman by the name of Jacqueline LaBelle. Born into a family of successful French immigrants, she rose to fame at seventeen as the youngest heiress in Philadelphia society. LaBelle was a jet-set member of the international beau mode, and a style icon to fashion designers and artists the world over. She was known for her signature kohl-lined eyes, imperial guard-inspired fur lined jackets and magnificent collection of sapphire jewelry. She was elegant, venerated and very much the muse. For her extravagant parties at her mansion in Rittenhouse Square, she spared no expense importing the best French cuisine and libations. Her servants were directed to “continually toss handfuls of copper filings onto the flames, transforming them into blazes of vivid blue” to add a dramatic atmosphere. The parties were a fabulous collision of social, art, fashion, Hollywood, political and literary stars. It was THE place to see and be seen and the place where inspired ideas were born. Jacqueline LaBelle was daring, adventurous, intangible and always at the center of it all.

  • Andrzej Szczeklik: Visionary, Pathfinder, Renaissance Man
    Andrzej Szczeklik: visionary, pathfinder, Renaissance man Jacek Hawiger Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, Nashville, Tennessee, United States Upon hearing the stunning news about Andrzej Szczeklik’s untimely death, I was overwhelmed by its suddenness. I learned from Andrzej’s wife, Maria, and daughter, Ania, how he was in the thick of things until his last days, planning the next Symposium, preparing his next book, and arranging the next trip. He was a patient in his beloved “Klinika”, the 2nd Department of Med- icine of the Jagiellonian University Medical Col- lege in Krakow. “Klinika” was his brainchild and work in progress ever since the communist au- thorities assigned Andrzej in 1972 to the Depart- ment of Allergy and Clinical Immunology while some of us, his peers, were getting junior faculty positions in Poland and abroad. Andrzej had cho- sen to stay in his native Poland and by espous- ing the philosophy of “Organic Work” had turned around his “Post”, the old dilapidated Tubercu- losis Hospital, into a modern marvel of Internal Medicine; he became its Chairman in 1989. By overcoming huge barriers, he transformed grim wards into functional patient rooms; a new wing was built with diagnostic and research labora- tories furnished with the state of the art equip- ment; a new lecture hall and conference rooms FIGURE 20 Professor Szczeklik in the Tatra Mountains were added, where Andrzej’s guests from Euro- that offered to him solace and inspiration; picture taken pean and American universities were sharing ad- by the author in 1992 vanced concepts and techno logical breakthroughs.
