Vodopia, Chair, IEEE Long Island Section The May 1, 2015, LISAT event at Farmingdale State College was a huge success. On behalf of the IEEE Long Island Section, I thank all of those who participated and attended, with particular thanks going out to the LISAT committee. I am sure I am not alone in looking forward to LISAT 2016 (the 12th annual LISAT event). As you probably know, volunteers are crucial to the success of our Section. If you have the time, wish to work with us and are not already involved, please take a look at our section’s website on IEEE.LI and browse to the societies’ and committees’ pages to see the volunteer positions available. I also encourage you to attend the monthly ExCom meetings; the next one is to be held on August 24th at Telephonics in Farmingdale. The August 24th ExCom meeting was originally scheduled for June 29—the June 29 ExCom meeting is cancelled The ExCom meetings operate as forums for you to voice your concerns about IEEE, about IEEE Long Island about the state of technology in the US and to make recommendations for action that we might take to improve any of the aforementioned. There is no better place to discover what is happening in the section and how you can get involved in one of the societies to affect change. Just send me an email before you attend so I can have your name added to the attendance list. If you wish to speak to ExCom on a particular topic, just let me know your topic in advance, I will add same to the agenda and you will have an opportunity to present your topic to ExCom and receive the feedback from those that are present. For that matter, we (ExCom) need your help to support maintaining and even growing IEEE Long Island membership. Our membership numbers somewhat down at present (below 2000), much of which can be attributed to shifting engineering job availability on Long Island. In my opinion, while our LI IEEE membership is important in the short term (e.g., funding from IEEE headquarters is based on membership), membership numbers in the long term reflect (whether accurately or inaccurately), a desirability of IEEE membership and therefore operate as a barometer of our organization as a whole. Please come to our ExCom meeting and offer your opinion on how we can improve the member experience on Long Island. We have a budget—come and tell us how we can use our available funds for you. For example, what about a ball game at Citibank Park in CI to see our LI Ducks? What a great way to meet and greet each other. If there is any interest in such an event, or a like event, over the next 12 or so weeks (until we meet again on August 24), just email me and I will try to arrange. For that matter, while our numbers may be somewhat down, let me take this opportunity to welcome our new LI Section members for the 1st quarter of 2015. They are: Michael Leonardo Asitimbay Gary L Deluca Kyle Joseph McHugh Barry Schneider John Baston Robert Desimone Kevin J McShane Jordan Elliott Shulman Joseph Carrano Juliette Anne Guild Betsy Mendieta Brito Douglas John Sidoti Collin Champagne Thaier Hayajneh Luis Ortiz Stephan Stanzione Jeffrey Robert Christiansen Zahraa N Krayem Paul Scalice Yang Wang Hayley Cohen Justin Matos Finally, please take a look at John Schmidt’s VTools/L31 Report in the ExCom minutes from our May 18 meeting to get a feel for how many L31’s have been submitted for your society for 2015. If your society is not listed, it means that there are no L31s submitted, regardless of whether your society held a meeting or not. If there is no L31, a meeting is not counted. Please have meetings and please submit L31s. Thank you again for the opportunity to serve, and please reach out to me if I can help you in any way. John F.

    1: the SITE of a CHURCH the First Thing to Do When Building a Church

    1 1: THE SITE OF A CHURCH The first thing to do when building a church is for the Bishop and the architect he has commissioned and approved to choose the most suitable site. It is particularly important that the location of the church, wherever it is built, should be up high. If this location is completely level, it should at least be sufficiently prominent so that access to the church will be by three or at the most five steps. If the topography is such that there is no more elevated part, then the church should be built on a base so that it will be raised and rise up over the plain, and the floor will be reached by means of those three or five steps.{1} So that there will be greater veneration in the church and to keep it, insofar as possible, far from all noise which might disturb the divine offices, care must also be taken in choosing the site that it be far from muddy and dirty areas, from all kinds of filth, stables, sheep pens, taverns, forges, shops, and markets of all kinds. Places of this kind should also be far from the surrounding areas of the church. Care must also be taken in choosing the site for the church that the building will appear as a separate block, that is unconnected to and separated from the walls of the surrounding buildings by a space of several paces, as will be explained further on with regard to the street, as established by the ancients and required by correct criteria.

  • Academic Medicine in Pavia

    Academic Medicine in Pavia

    HISTORY NOTES Giuseppe Specchia University of Pavia, Italy Academic medicine in Pavia whose rebellion against Rome deposed Romolo Augus- tolo and decreed the end of the Western Roman Empire. Odoacre was succeeded by Theodoric the Great King of the Goths, who in turn was recognized by the Eastern Empire as King of Italy. In 572 Pavia was conquered by the Lombards and became the effective capital and one of the most important cities of the king- dom with the name of Papia. The adhesion of Lombard sovereignty to Christianity gave rise to intense devel- opment of ecclesiastical construction, with the creation both of churches (frequently the seat of royal burials) and of monasteries whose wealth enabled immense development in agriculture and commerce. The sub- stantial economic growth of Pavia, the eminence gained by Pavia on account of its royal seat, the achieved independence of its episcopal see from that of Milano, fuelled the rivalry between the two Lombard cities, both destined to explode in bloody disputes.

  • St Charles Borromeo: "I Am Now Wedded to the Spouse Whom I Have So Long Desired."

    St Charles Borromeo: "I Am Now Wedded to the Spouse Whom I Have So Long Desired."

    St Charles Borromeo: "I am now wedded to the spouse whom I have so long desired." The Church is sacramental in her essence: she is both physical and spiritual, human and divine. This means that she is not merely a gathering of people who think along the same lines or the necessary but often unfortunate administrative apparatus to keep Christian things organized. The Church is a divinely founded body, animated by the Holy Spirit, shot through with divine life, whose principle of existence is rooted in Heaven. The Catechism of the Catholic Church notes this twofold nature: "The Church is both visible and spiritual, a hierarchical society and the Mystical Body of Christ. She is one, yet formed of two components, human and divine." The Catechism then further notes: "The Church in this world is the sacrament of salvation, the sign and the instrument of the communion of God and men." There is a strong strain of anti-institutional thinking in our modern world that is foreign to this sacramental view of reality. According to the modern view, the Church's institutional arrangements are at best a necessary evil and are often an obstacle to faith that would better be done away with. According to this way of thinking, when faith becomes institutionalized, it loses its essence and dies spiritually. The often-heard phrase: "I'm into spirituality, but I don't like organized religion," expresses this attitude. There is a gnostic') strain in this view of reality, one that subtly - or not so subtly - deprecates all things physical, material, and spatial, and that yearns to float free in a kind of disembodied spiritual ether.

I am therefore glad to find myself among you for this encounter, to which I attribute special importance since I also come from the academic world. I greet with cordial respect the professors, and in the first place, Prof. Angiolino Stella, whom I thank for his courteous words. I greet the students, especially the young man who expressed the sentiments of the other university students. He reassured me of your courage in dedication to the truth, of your courage in seeking beyond the limits of the known and not surrendering to the weakness of reason. And I am very grateful to him for these words. I also extend my good wishes to all the members of your academic community who were prevented from being present here today. Your University is one of the oldest and most distinguished of the Italian Universities and - I repeat the words of the Rector Magnificent - among the teachers who have honoured it are figures such as Alessandro Volta, Camillo Golgi and Carlo Forlanini. 2 I am also eager to recall that teachers and students marked by an eminent spiritual stature have passed through your Athenaeum. They were: Michele Ghislieri, who later became Pope St Pius V, St Charles Borromeo, St Alessandro Sauli, St Riccardo Pampuri, St Gianna Beretta Molla, Bl.

  • The Correspondence of Viacheslav Ivanov and Charles Du Bos

    The Correspondence of Viacheslav Ivanov and Charles Du Bos

    THE CORRESPONDENCE OF VIACHESLAV IVANOV AND CHARLES DU BOS Julia Zarankin and Michael Wachtel When Viacheslav Ivanov left the Soviet Union in 1924 for Rome, he was con- sciously avoiding the capitals of Russian emigration, rejecting the fractured rem- nants of Russian culture in favor of the spiritual and intellectual life of the West.' His conversion to Roman Catholicism in 1926 was, of course, a wa- tershed event in this process. 2 But equally telling were the numerous contacts that he established with European intellectuals in the course of his final 25 years. It must be noted that Ivanov was a committed, yet reticent participant in Western culture. While he had been accustomed to being at the center of Russian pre-revolutionary art and philosophy, Ivanov seemed content with a position on 1 See Ivanov's letter of 1935 to A. G. Godiaev, cited in Vja'éeslav Ivanov. Dichtung and Briefwechsel aus dein deutschsprachigen Nachlass. Mainz 1995, p. 18. 2 In the present case, the word "conversion" requires explanation. For Ivanov, the accep- tance of Roman Catholicism did not entail a rejection of Russian Orthodoxy, but rather a rejection of the century-old schism that divided the Eastern and Western Churches. His turn to Roman Catholicism was, in short, an act of unification rather than renunciation. The most detailed formulation of Ivanov's position is found in his "Lettre à Charles Du Bos": "En prononQant (le 17 mars 1926, jour de féte de S. Venceslas en Russie) le Credo, suivi de la formule d'adhésion, devant l'autel de mon patron, cher
