    YOUR O.A.T. ADVENTURE TRAVEL PLANNING GUIDE® Sicily’s Ancient Landscapes & Timeless Traditions 2021 Small Groups: 8-16 travelers—guaranteed! (average of 13) Overseas Adventure Travel ® The Leader in Personalized Small Group Adventures on the Road Less Traveled 1 Dear Traveler, At last, the world is opening up again for curious travel lovers like you and me. And the O.A.T. Sicily’s Ancient Landscapes & Timeless Traditions itinerary you’ve expressed interest in will be a wonderful way to resume the discoveries that bring us so much joy. You might soon be enjoying standout moments like these: Who doesn’t love to eat in Italy? But Sicilian food, which is heavily influenced by the Arabs who thrived here, is in a league of its own. Sample the local flavors when you visit the Tunisian-inflected town of Mazara del Vallo and share a traditional Sicilian lunch with a local family. As you savor the home-cooked fare, you’ll learn how the city’s identity continues to evolve, and the vital role of the local fishing industry. You’ll also visit a home of a very different sort, one that traveler Carol Bowman described as “a house full of hope.” It’s Casa di Maria, an organization (and Grand Circle Foundation partner) established by a family in Catania to provide a loving home for children who are refugees or victims of neglect and domestic violence. The daughter-in-law of the founders (Sergio and Carmela) will enlighten you about Sicily’s foster care system. And you’ll meet more of the Casa’s extended family, including a young Nigerian woman who literally showed up on Sicily’s shores with nothing and grew up here, and hear her harrowing—but ultimately inspiring—story.

  • WHERE WAS MEAN SOLAR TIME FIRST ADOPTED? Simone Bianchi INAF-Osservatorio Astrofisico Di Arcetri, Largo E. Fermi, 5, 50125, Flor
    WHERE WAS MEAN SOLAR TIME FIRST ADOPTED? Simone Bianchi INAF-Osservatorio Astrofisico di Arcetri, Largo E. Fermi, 5, 50125, Florence, Italy [email protected] Abstract: It is usually stated in the literature that Geneva was the first city to adopt mean solar time, in 1780, followed by London (or the whole of England) in 1792, Berlin in 1810 and Paris in 1816. In this short paper I will partially revise this statement, using primary references when available, and provide dates for a few other European cities. Although no exact date was found for the first public use of mean time, the primacy seems to belong to England, followed by Geneva in 1778–1779 (for horologists), Berlin in 1810, Geneva in 1821 (for public clocks), Vienna in 1823, Paris in 1826, Rome in 1847, Turin in 1849, and Milan, Bologna and Florence in 1860. Keywords: mean solar time 1 INTRODUCTION The inclination of the Earth’s axis with respect to the orbital plane and its non-uniform revolution around the Sun are reflected in the irregularity of the length of the day, when measured from two consecutive passages of the Sun on the meridian. Though known since ancient times, the uneven length of true solar days became of practical interest only after Christiaan Huygens (1629 –1695) invented the high-accuracy pendulum clock in the 1650s. For proper registration of regularly-paced clocks, it then became necessary to convert true solar time into mean solar time, obtained from the position of a fictitious mean Sun; mean solar days all having the same duration over the course of the year.

Title: Colonial Legacies in Family-Making and Family-Breaking: Carla Macoggi’s Memoirs as Semi-Autobiography Journal Issue: gender/sexuality/italy, 7 (2020) Author: Carla Cornette, Pennsylvania State University Publication date: February 2021 Publication info: gender/sexuality/italy, “Continuing Discussions” Permalink: https://www.gendersexualityitaly.com/13-colonial-legacies-family-making-and-family-breaking-carla- macoggis-memoirs Author Bio: Carla Cornette is an Assistant Teaching Professor of Italian at Pennsylvania State University and the faculty co-leader of Penn State’s study abroad program in Reggio Calabria. She holds a Ph.D. in Italian from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a minor in African Cultural Studies and Gender and Women’s Studies. Her dissertation project (2018) is entitled “Postcolonial Pathology in the Works of Italian Postcolonial Writers Carla Macoggi, Ubah Cristina Ali Farah, and Igiaba Scego” and interrogates the notion of depression in Italian postcolonial literature as a politically and socially induced phenomenon. She is currently preparing a monograph based on this study which argues that melancholic psycho-affective sequelae that manifest in Black diaspora women literary figures are the natural and expected consequence to continual subjection to multiple axes of oppression including race, gender, geography, and class, inequalities which have their origins in Italy’s colonial history. Abstract: Kkeywa: Storia di una bimba meticcia (2011) and La nemesi della rossa (2012) constitute the sequential memoirs of Carla Macoggi, Ethiopian-Italian author and attorney.

  • Policy Department C Citizens Rights and Constitutional Affairs INTERNATIONAL ADOPTION in the EUROPEAN UNION
    Directorate-General Internal Policies Policy Department C Citizens Rights and Constitutional Affairs INTERNATIONAL ADOPTION IN THE EUROPEAN UNION Final Report – 2009, March 27th Résumé: The main purpose of the report consists of proposing an up-dated comparative vision in the field of intercountry adoptions at European level, in particular following an interdisciplinary perspective able to give adequate consideration both to social and legal aspects involved. In particular, the research envisages two different levels of analysis: a documentary analysis based mainly on a statistical profile of the phenomenon within EU countries followed by a review of the fundamental international and European instruments that actually regulate the international adoption system and a survey that will be realized specifically at national level. The study led to some concrete proposal for the interventions of EU level and national policy-makers as well as representatives of civil society directed to harmonize the different national rules and experiences and to create a European adoption system.

  • Illicit Adoptions
    ICAV Perspective Paper Illicit Intercountry Adoptions Lived Experience Views on How Authorities and Bodies Could Respond Compiled by Lynelle Long, July 2020 WWW.INTERCOUNTRYADOPTEEVOICES.COM ICAV PERSPECTIVE PAPER 1 Introduction n the past, ICAV Perspective Papers have brought together a range of views on a specific topic from intercountry adoptees all over the world. The goal of these Ipapers have been to raise greater understanding of the complexities we live. This paper attempts to bring together not only the voices and experiences of impacted intercountry adoptees who have lived experience with some form of illicit practice in their adoption, but we also include for the first time, a few adoptive parents and first family representation. For the purpose of this paper, we will use the term illicit adoption practice because it includes illegal adoptions but its meaning can also extend to unethical practices. Sometimes adoption practices are technically legal under the law of the relevant country but are fundamentally unethical under international or other standards such as the CRC, the Optional Protocol (Sale of Children), and the Palermo Protocol. Illicit practices can vary immensely but in general, participants experienced one or more of these 3 categories of instances: one category of illicit practices are instances where the child never should have been removed from (or should have been returned to) their family; a second group deals with subsidiarity in the sense that while it may have been necessary for the child not to be with their family, in-country solutions should have been used; then there are wrongs that go to matching--- such as falsified child study forms — in instances where an adoption could have been appropriate, but the wrongdoing led to creating a placement that was problematic.

  • The Role of the Marshall Plan in the Italian Post-WWII Recovery
    Reconstruction Aid, Public Infrastructure, and Economic Development⇤ NicolaBianchi MichelaGiorcelli July 24, 2018 Abstract This paper studies how the modernization of transportation infrastructure a↵ects long-term economic outcomes. It exploits plausibly exogenous di↵erences between Ital- ian provinces in the share of modern infrastructure—mainly roads and railways—built with grants disbursed through the Marshall Plan. Provinces that could modernize a larger portion of their infrastructure stock experienced higher increases in agricultural production, especially for perishable crops that benefitted the most from an efficient transportation system. Agricultural firms in these areas also invested more in motorized machines that decreased the employment of manual labor. In the same provinces, we observe more entry of small firms in the industrial sector, as well as a larger expansion of the industrial and service workforce.

  • The ICT Revolution and Italy's Two Lost Decades∗
    The ICT Revolution and Italy's Two Lost Decades∗ Fabiano Schivardi Tom Schmitz LUISS University, EIEF and CEPR Bocconi University and IGIER May 19, 2017 PRELIMINARY AND INCOMPLETE - PLEASE DO NOT CIRCULATE OR CITE Abstract Since the middle of the 1990s, Italy's catching-up process with respect to other advanced economies has ended, and output per capita has started to diverge. One potential reason for this divergence is the failure of Italian rms to take up the ICT revolution. We provide micro-level evidence on low ICT adoption in Italy, and show how it is linked to inecient management practices and amplied by input- output linkages. We then build a general equilibrium model with heterogeneous rms, management and ICT adoption choices, and production networks, and use it to analyse the quantitative importance of the ICT revolution for Italy's divergence. We nd that the ICT revolution can account for approximately 25% of the divergence between Italy's and Germany's GDP per hour worked between 1995 and 2015, the largest part being due to inecient management lowering the adoption rate and the productivity of ICT technologies. While the best way for Italy to catch up would be to improve management practices, the fact that production networks create externalities which make ICT adoption ineciently low creates a role for subsidy policies to improve aggregate outcomes.

  • The ICT Revolution and Italy's Two Lost Decades∗
    The ICT Revolution and Italy's Two Lost Decades∗ Fabiano Schivardi Tom Schmitz Università Bocconi, EIEF and IGIER Università Bocconi and IGIER December 15, 2016 PRELIMINARY AND INCOMPLETE - PLEASE DO NOT CIRCULATE OR CITE Abstract Since the middle of the 1990s, Italy's GDP and productivity growth rates have virtually fallen to zero, and Italy's economy is falling ever further behind Northern Europe and the United States. We argue that an important reason behind the Italian slowdown is the failure of Italian rms to take up the ICT revolution. This, in turn, may be due to long-standing distortions in their internal organization, characterized by small size, centralized management, and low numbers of non-family managers. To explore this hypothesis, we write a heterogeneous-rm model with ICT and management, assuming that ICT enters rms' production functions as management-augmenting technological change. In the model, inecient management causes low ICT adoption, both directly (as management and ICT are complements) and indirectly (as inecient management in large rms allows more unproductive non-ICT adopting rms to survive). Increases in ICT productivity widen income dierences between economies with ecient and inecient management, both because the former use more ICT and because ICT increases the importance of management for aggregate production. Using microdata from dierent surveys on ICT and managers in rms in Italy and other European countries, we document empirical regularities that are in line with the model's predictions. Eventually, we want to use this data to assess how much of Italy's divergence can be explained by the ICT revolution.
