In 2004, the USA Biolympiad Team was awarded an unprecedented four gold medals in Brisbane, Australia, a feat accomplished for the first time in Biology Olympiad history. The USA Biolympiad Team has continued this remarkable record of success by winning four gold medals in 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2015, and 2017. Now in its nineteenth year, the USABO continues to nurture young scholars to careers of excellence and leadership in science. The USA Biolympiad concentrates on stimulating young scholars’ intellectual curiosity and developing their critical thinking skills in biological reasoning. The rigorous USABO competition demands the best in practical and theoretical knowledge and includes four tiers: Open Exam, Semifinal Exam, National Finals, and the USA Biolympiad Team’s participation in the International Biology Olympiad (IBO) Challenge. Ultimately, four students earn the honor to represent the USA as the USA Biolympiad Team in the 2021 International Biology Olympiad IBO Challenge II July 18-23.

This effectively stripped all of the authority the Pope held in England and gave it to Henry VIII. Also because of the Act of Supremacy Henry VIII gained a new title: Supreme Head of the Church of England. However, there was a problem. The Act of Supremacy only vaguely defined the new powers that had been given to the King.

    The Records of Central Government Taxation

    ‘The Records of Central Government Taxation in England and Wales: Clerical Taxes 1173‑1664i : Introducing a newly‑accessible source for the history of the Welsh Medieval Church’ Helen Watt and Rosemary C. E. Hayes THE RECORDS OF CENTRAL GOVERNMENT TAXATION IN ENGLAND AND WALES: CLERICAL TAXES 1173­1664 (TNA E 179/56/220) This is an introduction to a source for historical research which it is hoped will not only enrich knowledge of the medieval Welsh church in general, but also shed new light on individual churches, such as St Teilo’s, in particular.ii It should assist researchers to set the medieval Welsh church in context; the context being in this case the taxation of the church and how a grant of clerical taxation, made in the Convocation of the Province of Canterbury,iii usually held in London, was put into effect in each diocese in that Province, and how it filtered down to the parishes and chapelries in the various localities. The source to be outlined comprises the records created by that process; these are the records of clerical taxation, held in series E 179 in The National Archives in Kew. THE MEDIEVAL EXCHEQUER (Archaeologia, vol. 39, Part II (1863), p. 362, plate XIX (detail)) This part of the archive of the ancient Exchequer makes up one of the largest and perhaps most informative series for historical research into the medieval and early modern period. The series contains many different types of document, offering a wide variety of information about the assessment, collection and accounting of medieval taxation.

    UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA 251st Commencement ONDAY, MAY 14, 2007 The University of Pennsylvania KEEPING FRANKLIN'S PROMISE In the words of one elegiac tribute, "Great men have two lives: one which occurs while they work on this earth; a second which begins at the day of their death and continues as long as their ideas and conceptions remain powerful." These words befit the great Benjamin Franklin, whose inventions, innovations, ideas, writings, and public works continue to shape our thinking and renew the Republic he helped to create and the institutions he founded, including the University of Pennsylvania. Nowhere does Franklin feel more contemporary, more revolutionary, and more alive than at the University of Pennsylvania. His startling vision of a secular, nonsectarian Academy that would foster an "Inclination join'd with an Ability to serve Mankind, one's Country, Friends and Family" has never ceased to challenge Penn to redefine the scope and mission of the modern American university. When pursued vigorously and simultaneously, the two missions — developing the inclination to do good and the ability to do well — merge to help form a more perfect university that educates more capable citizens for our democracy. Penn has embodied and advanced Franklin's revolutionary vision for more than 267 years. Throughout its history, Penn has extended the frontiers of higher learning and research to produce graduates and scholars whose work has enriched the nation and all of humanity. The modern liberal arts curriculum as we know it can trace its roots to Franklin's innovation to have Penn students study international commerce and foreign languages.

Four themes are symbolized in the arms of the School. The background of the “chief ” (the place of honor) is Yale blue, with Roman numerals in white representing 1847, the year of the founding of the Department of Philosophy and the Arts, the earliest formal organization for graduate study at Yale and, in fact, in the entire United States. Below, on a white background, is a black Y-shaped device representing the “pallium,” a garment worn by philosophers in ancient Rome, and frequently used as a symbol for Yale. The three red crosses are derived from the arms of Bishop George Berkeley, who established in 1732 an endowment for Yale College graduates “reading for the second degree.” These were the frst scholarships exclusively for graduate study at Yale. the mace of the graduate school of arts and sciences The mace is carried at the head of ceremonial processions by the School’s marshal and displayed at such events as the annual Matriculation ceremony, awards Convocation, and Commencement. The shaft of the mace is turned red mahogany. Inset near the top of the shaft on two sides is the shield of the Graduate School, rendered in cloisonné-enameled metal. For description of the shield, see above. The shaft is topped by a disk of grained red and black macasser ebony, on which sits a large, faceted crystal orb, the chief design element of the mace.
