Full textAbstract:
St Michael le Belfrey (‘the Belfrey’) is a 16th century parish church in the shadow of York Minster. It sits in the charismatic evangelical tradition of the Church of England. With a large, young and vibrant congregation, the Belfrey is a Resource Church and plays a significant role in the life of the Diocese of York, the Northern Province and, more broadly, the Church of England. Through a petition described as ‘of the highest quality’, it sought a faculty for a dramatic re-ordering of its interior, proposals that had been at least 14 years in the development.

Full textAbstract:
In addition to dealing with its income from tithes and property, the Church in the Middle Ages, as today, recognized its responsibility for raising money for good causes by urging upon the faithful the need for charity. The collectors of such contributions, or pardoners (as they were known from the inducements which they were able to offer to pious donors) sometimes earned for themselves a bad name for rapacity and fraud, as a study of the Pardoner with his ‘pigges bones’ in Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales will show. But the process of collection seems generally to have been carefully organized and supervised, as a study of the system in the province of York under Archbishop Melton indicates. A good bishop clearly regarded the supervision of fund-raising as an integral part of his responsibilities. He worked not only through his archdeacons and clergy, with a final right of citation before himself in person, but also through trustworthy laymen with experience in business.

The feast of Corpus Christi, as is well known, seems to have been widely and rapidly adopted from the time of its formal promulgation at the Council of Vienne. The feast was being celebrated in England from within a few years of the Council. Processions of the Sacred Host were invariably the focus of these celebrations, and these appear sometimes to have been accompanied by Corpus Christi Plays in the form of Creation to Domesday drama cycles. Such are recorded for the first time at Beverley in 1377 and, indirectly, at York a year later.

Abstract This article analyzes the audio diaries of a Tibetan physician, originally from Amdo (Qinghai Province, China), now living in New York City. Dr. Kunchog Tseten describes his experiences during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, in spring and summer 2020, when Queens, New York—the location where he lives and works—was the “epicenter of the epicenter” of the novel coronavirus outbreak in the United States. The collaborative research project of which this diary is a part combines innovative methodological approaches to qualitative, ethnographic study during this era of social distancing with an attunement to the relationship between language, culture, and health care. Dr. Kunchog’s diary and our analysis of its contents illustrate the ways that Tibetan medicine and Tibetan cultural practices, including those emergent from Buddhism, have helped members of the Himalayan and Tibetan communities in New York City navigate this unprecedented moment with care and compassion.

A growth series is described for a new species of Ceratocara Ramsköld, 1991, C. argentina, from the Upper Ordovician (Caradoc) part of the Las Aguaditas Formation, near Jáchal in San Juan Province, Argentine Precordillera. Another new species of Ceratocara, C. shawi, is described from the Middle Ordovician (lower Chazy) Crown Point Formation of New York. A phylogenetic analysis is presented for these species, other well-known Ordovician species of Ceratocara, and some Ordovician species of Ceratocephala, with Ceratocephalina tridens Whittington, 1956, as outgroup. The analysis presented supports the monophyly of both Ceratocara and Ceratocephala Warder, 1838, their divergence having occurred by the middle Arenig. The ontogenies of the Ceratocara species from Argentina and New York, complete from protaspid to holaspid growth stages, are some of the best preserved odontopleurid ontogenies described to date. Material of Ceratocephala triacantheis Whittington and Evitt, 1954, from the Crown Point Formation of the Chazy Group of New York, is discriminated from that of Ceratocara shawi.

Full textAbstract:
Revised cross sections of the western Grenville Province incorporate new geologic results and reprocessed seismic reflection data. The geology is presented in terms of three tectonic elements: (1) "pre-Grenvillian Laurentia and its margin" with ca. 1740 and 1450 Ma continental arc plutons and associated supracrustal rocks; (2) "Composite Arc Belt" of allochthonous ~1300-1250 Ma volcanic arcs and sedimentary rocks; and (3) "Frontenac-Adirondack Belt" characterized by supracrustal and granitoid rocks, and anorthosites, of uncertain affinity, that may represent a distinctive part of the Composite Arc Belt or an offshore (micro)continent. Rocks of the Composite Arc and Frontenac-Adirondack belts were amalgamated with each other by ca. 1160 Ma, were then thrust over Laurentia during ca. 1080-1035 Ma and ca. 1010-980 Ma phases of convergence, and were dissected and exhumed by <1040 Ma normal faults. Penetrative deformation was restricted to that part of the pre-Grenvillian Laurentian margin that lies to the southeast of the Grenville front and parts of the accreted Composite Arc and Frontenac-Adirondack belts. The Laurentian rocks in the Grenville Province are bounded to the northwest and southeast by southeast-dipping ductile thrust and (or) normal shear zones. The Composite Arc and Frontenac-Adirondack belts to the southeast are bounded by ductile and brittle-ductile thrust and (or) normal faults that separate domains with contrasting cooling histories. Despite a long pre-Grenvillian tectonic and plutonic history, the present crustal architecture and much of the seismic reflectivity were acquired during 1080-980 Ma phases of compression and extension.

Petroleum geology had its beginning in the nineteenth century. One of its leading adherents was Edward Orton of New York and Ohio. He left to that science an important body of writing, especially on the oil fields of the Cincinnati Arch province. His thought included an elaboration of the anticlinal theory. One of his classic works was The Trenton Limestone as a Source of Petoleum and Inflammable Gas in Ohio and Indiana (1889). That treatise and others too placed Orton in the forefront of petroleum geology in its formative period.

Angelo Petraglia, born in 1876 in the Salerno Province of Italy, the first child of Nicola and Carmela Petraglia, spent his first five years in Piaggine, a small mountain village, and in 1881 sailed to New York City with his mother, his uncle, and a younger sister. His father had preceded them to America to find work and a place to live. The family name was changed to Patri, perhaps by immigration authorities. The sister died shortly after their arrival in America, but three other sisters were born soon after.

Full textAbstract:
This paper investigates the spatio-temporal spread pattern of COVID-19 in Italy, during the first wave of infections, from February to October 2020. Disease mappings of the virus infections by using the Besag–York–Mollié model and some spatio-temporal extensions are provided. This modeling framework, which includes a temporal component, allows the studying of the time evolution of the spread pattern among the 107 Italian provinces. The focus is on the effect of citizens’ mobility patterns, represented here by the three distinct phases of the Italian virus first wave, identified by the Italian government, also characterized by the lockdown period. Results show the effectiveness of the lockdown action and an inhomogeneous spatial trend that characterizes the virus spread during the first wave. Furthermore, the results suggest that the temporal evolution of each province’s cases is independent of the temporal evolution of the other ones, meaning that the contagions and temporal trend may be caused by some province-specific aspects rather than by the subjects’ spatial movements.

The European apple sawfly, Hoplocampa testudinea (Klug), is a pest of apple, Malus pumila Bork. (Rosaceae), in orchards. Introduced from Europe onto Long Island, New York, in 1939, it gradually invaded the New England states (Pyenson 1943). Downes and Andison (1942) also reported the apple sawfly on Vancouver Island in 1940. In 1979, H. testudinea was discovered for the first time in southern Quebec (Paradis 1980), after which it spread throughout the apple-growing areas of this province (Vincent and Mailloux 1988). There are no published records on any natural enemies of H. testudinea in North America.

Full textAbstract:
Background: The suicide incident has had an increasing trend in Iran over the past years. This study mainly aimed to investigate and visualize the spatial variations of registered suicide cases at the province level. A two-step modeling approach was employed in order to estimate the relative risks (RRs) and model the age of fatal suicide across provinces in Iran. Study design: An applied ecological study. Methods: This study used the suicide death data recorded by the Iranian forensic medicine organization from March 21, 2016, to March 20, 2018. Furthermore, a Bayesian spatial approach - Besag, York, and Mollie (BYM) model- was applied to estimate the RR of suicide across provinces in Iran. Results: This risk was found to be significantly higher than the average in both men and women in the west of Iran. For women, higher population density (mean: 0.003; 95% CrI: 0.001-0.005) and lower urbanization rate of provinces (mean: -0.025; 95% CrI: -0.038, -0.012) were associated with increased RR of suicide. Based on the log-normal model fitted to the data, the overall mean age of the fatal suicide at the national level was 34 years. Conclusions: The magnitude of gender and age differences was quantified, and many spatial variations were identified in suicide mortality across provinces in Iran. Given the heterogeneity in suicide mortality risk among different subgroups of age and gender, our findings point to the urgent need in developing gender- and age-specific suicide prevention strategies. Moreover, efficient allocation of healthcare resources for suicide prevention can be attained by targeting provinces with higher risk.

In 1914, Henrietta Rodman, a high school English teacher and president of the newly formed Feminist Alliance in New York City, announced her group's plan to develop a twelve-story cooperative apartment house, based on the ideas of feminist philosopher Charlotte Perkins Gilman, that would meet the needs of professional working women like her, married with children. This research illustrates strategic activities teachers used in their attempts to reconceptualize wage-earning as the legitimate province of women, regardless of their marital or maternal status, and highlights the Feminist Alliance's contention that women's lack of economic self-determination lay at the root of female subordination.

Full textAbstract:
Beginning in the mid-1970s, financial distress in local governments became big news when New York City nearly collapsed due to the energy crisis and high inflation. When local governments experience financial distress, the responsibility to provide services to the community both now and in the future cannot be fulfilled. Local governments can only maintain services to the community if they are able to avoid financial distress. If the financial distress condition is maintained, there will be a stagnation in the level of community welfare which will have an impact on regional economic growth because it is not supported by adequate public services. Some local governments like Pennsylvania, have implemented a measure to indicate financial distress as stipulated in the 1987 Financially Distressed City Act (UU 47). However, the local government in Indonesia does not yet have an absolute measure for this financial distress condition. For this reason, financial distress in this study will use a relative measure indicated by the probability value measured using a defined approach. The results of the study provide an overview of how the relevant values in local government financial statements are able to predict financial distress in local governments. The findings show that the variables intergovernmental revenue (IGR), financial independence (FIND), employee expenditure (EMPEX), capital expenditure (CAPEX), and operating position (OPPOS) have a significant effect and can be used as an alternative predictor of financial distress with more comprehensive suitability with the financial characteristics of local government in East Java Province.

Full textAbstract:
Arbitration is well established in Canada. All jurisdictions have implemented the 1958 New York Convention, the UNCITRAL Model Law on Arbitration and equivalent legislation for domestic arbitration. This generally supportive legal landscape for arbitration is often at odds with access to justice for consumers. As a result, several jurisdictions in Canada have adopted legislation to guarantee consumers’ access to local courts, including through class actions, notwithstanding the inclusion of arbitration clauses in their contracts. The constitutional division of powers in Canada entitles each province to adopt its own policy, leading to diversity across the country with regard to the enforceability of arbitration clauses in consumer contracts. In this paper, the author examines the tension between general support for arbitration and differentiated treatment of consumer arbitration in Canada. To that end, the author examines relevant legislation in several provinces (including Quebec and Ontario) as well as recent jurisprudence from the Supreme Court of Canada (Dell Computer (2007), Telus (2011) and Wellman (2019)). The 2020 decision from the Supreme Court of Canada in Uber may signal a new openness toward extending protection to other vulnerable contracting parties such as employees.

AbstractAedes japonicus japonicus (Theobald) (Diptera: Culicidae), the Asian bush mosquito, is a keen biter linked to the transmission to humans of a variety of diseases. It has moved significantly from its historical Asian distribution, with its arrival in North America first noted in 1998 in New York and New Jersey, United States of America. Here we report the presence of A. j. japonicus within our collections of mosquitoes in the capital city of the easternmost province in Canada: St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, in 2013. This observation provides further evidence of this mosquito’s ability to significantly expand its geographic range, potentially affecting connectivity between subpopulations globally.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Earthquakes recorded by stations of the Lamont-Doherty seismic network in the greater New York City area are analyzed to determine magnitudes and the relationship between seismicity and geologic structures. Between 1974 and 1983, the configuration of stations in this region remained relatively stationary and the type of recording devices (visual drum recorders and 16-mm photographic recorders) did not change. This distribution of stations and recording devices allows for a uniform measurement of magnitudes and seismicity. Magnitudes of these earthquakes are determined by comparing amplitudes and signal duration measured from high-frequency (5 to 10 Hz) data recorded by the local network with mbLg and ML determined from data at frequencies near 1 Hz. During the period of time studied (nearly 10 yr), 61 earthquakes were located in this region, but none of these earthquakes exceeded 3.0 on the mbLg scale. The largest event (mbLg = 3.0) occurred in the Coastal Plain province of northern New Jersey. The magnitude threshold for uniform detection of events throughout this region during the period of time studied is estimated to be mbLg = 1.6. With events below this threshold removed from the catalog of network seismicity, we find that about half of the earthquakes studied occurred within 10 km of the Ramapo fault system. This fault system lies about 30 km northwest of New York City and has been interpreted by several investigators to be the most active fault system in the greater New York City area. However, earthquakes at least as large as those recorded near the Ramapo fault were located as far as 50 km from this fault (and within 20 km of New York City), in geologic structures that surround the Newark basin. While the Ramapo fault can by no means be ruled out as a possible source zone for earthquakes in the greater New York City area, the geologic structures associated with most (if not all) earthquakes in this region are still unknown. Thus, the cause of earthquakes in this region remains an enigma.

Objective: In a fast-paced world of technology that is changing people's lifestyles and reducing mobility, rural women who were once a model of mobility have not been spared. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of musculoskeletal abnormalities of the upper and lower limbs in rural women in Qazvin province. Methods: The present study was a descriptive-comparative study. The statistical population of this study was rural women in Qazvin province with an age range of 15-65 years and an average age (41.88±15.70) which in this research 3023 people participated and were divided into four groups with different age ranges. Subjects were selected by snowball sampling method and participated in the study voluntarily. The collection tools included consent form, musculoskeletal abnormalities registration form, caliper, vertical line, checkerboard, and New York test. Descriptive statistics were used to show the prevalence of anomalies and Kruskal-Wallis test was used for group comparison in SPSS software version 24. Results: Kruskal-Wallis test showed that in the variables head forward (p = 0.001), torticollis (p = 0.001), shoulder forward (p = 0.008), uneven shoulder (p = 0.001), kyphosis (p = 0.001), lordosis (p = 0.001), flat back (p = 0.003), scoliosis (p = 0.001), anterior pelvic rotation (p = 0.001), genu Varum (p = 0.001), genu Valgum (P = 0.001), genu recurvatum (p = 0.001), flat foot (p = 0.008), Pes cavus (p = 0.004) and hallux valgus (p = 0.001). There was significant difference between groups. Also, the highest prevalence of upper limb deformities was related to uneven shoulder, head forward, lordosis and the highest prevalence of lower limb deformities was related to anterior pelvic rotation, genu valgum and flat foot. Conclusion: The results show that the prevalence of musculoskeletal abnormalities of the upper and lower limbs in rural women in Qazvin province has a high prevalence in the age range of 35-31 years and 50-36 years. Therefore, researchers believe that providing information about the prevalence of postural disorders can be effective in designing preventive programs and emphasizes the need to develop corrective exercise and rehabilitation programs for this segment of society.

Full textAbstract:
Crust and upper-mantle structure interpreted from wide-angle seismic data along a 260 km profile across the Central Metasedimentary Belt of the southern Grenville Province in Ontario and New York State shows (i) relatively high average crustal and uppermost mantle velocities of 6.8 and 8.3 km/s, respectively; (ii) east-dipping reflectors extending to 24 km depth in the Central Metasedimentary Belt; (iii) weak lateral velocity variations beneath 5 km; (iv) a mid-crustal boundary at 27 km depth; and (v) a depth to Moho of 43–46 km. The wide-angle model is generally consistent with the vertical-incidence reflectivity of an intersecting Lithoprobe reflection line. The mid-crustal boundary correlates with a crustal detachment zone in the Lithoprobe data and the depth extent of east-dipping wide-angle reflectors. Regional structure and aeromagnetic anomaly trends support the southwest continuity of Grenville terranes and their boundaries from the wide-angle profile to two reflection lines in Lake Ontario. A zone of wide-angle reflectors with an average apparent eastward dip of 13° has a surface projection that correlates spatially with the boundary between the Elzevir and Frontenac terranes of the Central Metasedimentary Belt and resembles reflection images of a crustal-scale shear zone beneath Lake Ontario. A high-velocity upper-crustal anomaly beneath the Elzevir–Frontenac boundary zone is positioned in the hanging wall associated with the concentrated zone of wide-angle reflectors. The high-velocity anomaly is coincident with a gravity high and increased metamorphic grade, suggesting northwest transport of mid-crustal rocks by thrust faulting consistent with the mapped geology. The seismic data suggest (i) a reflective, crustal-scale structure has accommodated northwest-directed tectonic transport within the Central Metasedimentary Belt; (ii) this structure continues southwest from the exposed Central Metasedimentary Belt to at least southern Lake Ontario; and (iii) crustal reflectivity and complexity within the eastern Central Metasedimentary Belt is similar to that observed at the Grenville Front and the western Central Metasedimentary Belt boundary.

Abstract Demand for planting elite shrub willows as a resource for industrial use such as bioenergy and pulp has been increasing in Jilin province in northeast China. Toward this end, 12 elite willow clones, representing various species and origins, were imported from New York, USA, and planted at Lushui River, Jilin province. Two indigenous species were included in the test as the controls for comparison. This study was an evaluation of their performance in adaptation, growth potential, and wood traits after one rotation (three growing seasons). Results indicated that (1) all clones, but one, showed a parallel phenology to the control, had excellent survival (> 86%) and displayed good frost resistance; (2) compared to the control, most imported clones were comparable in main stem growth (height and diameter), but developed more stems and main roots; and (3) most imported clones had similar lignin, but higher cellulose content relative to the control. These results imply that some of the imported clones should be considered for further evaluation as good sources for both bioenergy and pulping. Based on cluster analysis, six clones were recommended for the upcoming scale-up site-clone trials for yield evaluation.

Background and Aims Posture is an important factor in assessing the health of people, because any deviation in posture can lead to many disorders. The women in rural areas, due to certain characteristics, may be more affected by postural changes. This study aims to study the prevalence of postural abnormalities in rural women in Markazi Province, Iran based on age and body mass index (BMI). Methods Participants were 420 rural women at three age groups of 15-30, 30-45 and 45-60 years who were selected using multi-stage sampling method from 20 villages of Markazi province. The instruments included a wall-mounted stature measuring tape (Seca, model 206), a digital scale (model 2003D), the New York Posture Rating Chart, and an optical Pedoscope (model DSI). The nearest posture observed by the researcher was recorded using the New York Posture Rating Chart and a checkerboard from various perspectives. The arch height of the foot was determined using the Pedoscope. Data analysis was done in SPSS software using descriptive statistics and chi-square test for comparison of postural abnormalities based on BMI and age. The significance level was set at 0.05. Results Among the postural abnormalities, hyperlordosis (54.6%), forward head (50.8%), uneven shoulders (39%), genu varum (34%), scoliosis (28%), kyphosis (27.4%) and hallux valgus (25.2%) were more common among rural women. In the age group of 15-30 years, forward head was the most common abnormality. In the age group of 30-45 years, hyperlordosis was more prevalent, and uneven shoulders was the most common abnormality in the age group of 45-60 years. Based on BMI, forward head was more common in women with obesity class I, and hyperlordosis was more common in overweight women. According to the chi-square test results, the difference based on age was significant in forward head, hyperlordosis, knock knee, and pes cavus. Conclusion Th increase of age and BMI can impair postural control in rural women. Proper training of different correct postures and increase of physical activity can be effective for improving the posture of rural women.

Full textAbstract:
Boron is a biologically important element, but its distribution in the natural environment and its behavior during many geological processes is not fully understood. In most metamorphic and igneous environments, boron is incorporated into minerals of the tourmaline supergroup. In high-grade metamorphic terranes like that of the Adirondack region of northern New York State, uncommon rock compositions combined with unusual and variable geologic conditions resulted in the formation of many additional boron-bearing minerals. This paper reviews the occurrences and geological settings of twelve relatively uncommon boron-bearing minerals in the southern Grenville Province of upstate New York and provides new chemical and Raman spectral data for seven of these minerals. The boron minerals range from relatively simple metal borates (e.g., vonsenite), to chemically complex borosilicates (e.g., prismatine), to a relatively rare borosilicate-carbonate (e.g., harkerite). Some are of primary igneous origin, while others are formed by a variety of prograde and retrograde metamorphic processes or by metasomatic/hydrothermal processes. Most of the boron minerals are formed within, or adjacent to, metasedimentary lithologies that surround the anorthositic massifs of the central Adirondacks. The metasedimentary rocks are thought to be the source of most of the boron, although additional boron isotope studies are needed to confirm this and to constrain the mechanisms of the formation of these unusual minerals.

Full textAbstract:
Late 18th to early 19th century reports on the rocks of the Catskill Mountains in eastern New York were followed by over 180 years of geological and paleobiological studies of the Devonian terrestrial succession, in the state and up and down eastern North America. Yet, nearly 230 years later these estimated ca. 2.4 km- (1.5 mi-) thick, homogenous strata remain a largely unknown frontier in many ways. Studies of Devonian terrestrial strata in New York over the last century include two different stratigraphic frameworks. The first, by George Chadwick (1930s–1940s), focused on the Catskill Front to the vicinity of Slide Mountain, highest peak in the Catskills. The second, by Fletcher and Rickard in the 1960s to mid-1970s, attempted to create a broader, more geographically inclusive chronostratigraphic nomenclature throughout the entire Catskills outcrop belt. Recent work indicates that in the field this latter model, based on thick lithosomes of red and gray rocks and conglomerates, is problematic. It can be seen as representing a “second draft” stratigraphic framework, in need of additional work and refinement. At this time, however, too little is known as to how to better ground the existing stratigraphy, or to propose a sound alternate stratigraphic framework for the Catskills succession. Other major foci in the Devonian terrestrial of New York include paleobotany (1950s–today), petrography (1960s–1980s), fluvial systems (1970s–1990s), and terrestrial arthropods (1980s–2000s). Broader paleobiological studies, in part associated with the Red Hill site in northern Pennsylvania, burgeoned in the 1990s and continue today. Recent Catskills terrestrial research of impact is perhaps largely paleobiological and includes the first complete Eospermatopteris (“Gilboa”) tree, mapping of well- preserved forest floors, and increasing research on paleosols. Difficulties in research of Devonian terrestrial strata in New York include: the lateral discontinuity of terrestrial facies and the lack of documented, distinctive marker beds for correlation; little biostratigraphic and geochronologic control; extensive cover in sometimes rugged terrain; too few researchers, and a need for greater cross-disciplinary perspectives and communication. The purpose of recent and ongoing research by the author is multifold. First to systematically gather various data, such as event deposits, petrography, detrital zircon dating, and palynological biostratigraphy, top to bottom through the succession, initially in the classic Catskill Front to the vicinity of Slide Mountain, in the New York State Department of Conservation “Slide Mountain Wilderness” of the Catskill Park. Second within that succession, to better document depositional history, provenance, and biostratigraphy, and to know the succession more closely. Through this, the larger goal is to test the existing stratigraphic framework and try to ground that stratigraphy in the regional rock record better, or to develop a new stratigraphic framework. Key issues that remain largely unresolved in Devonian terrestrial strata of New York include: lack of a well-tested, viable, and correlatable stratigraphic framework; a general lack of chronostratigraphic data from palynological/microvertebrate biostratigraphy and radiometric ages from altered air fall volcanic tephra beds; and no systematic documentation of the vertical Catskill succession. Other future studies could include lateral, interstate/province comparisons of variations in provenance/drainage evolution along the Acadian (Acadian-Neoacadian) Foreland Basin and its subbasin known as the Appalachian Basin, via petrography, detrital mineral dating and other methods.

In a recent article Frederik Pedersen used the records of matrimonial litigation from the York consistory, the principal Church court of the province, during the fourteenth century to make a number of observations concerning the relationship of these records to the society from which they were generated. He argued that ‘the medieval court documents do not present a random sample illustrating trends in the surrounding society’ and that litigants tended to be disproportionately drawn on the one hand from the upper echelons of society and on the other hand from locations close to York itself. He has further suggested that the age structures of male and female deponents found within the surviving cause papers do not fit the same model life tables and that this raises ‘further doubts about the representativeness of court documents as evidence of changing patterns of lay behaviour’. In this article, I shall show that his analysis is based upon a flawed methodology, is marred by error, and is ultimately mistaken. Pedersen's essential point in ‘Demography in the archives’, as outlined in the Abstract to the article, is that the people who appear in the court records are unrepresentative of society as a whole, and hence ‘that the court records tell us more about the people who used the courts than about trends in the society in which litigation arose’. My argument is that it is the very unrepresentativeness of the people and their cases that provides us with a window into the society from which the cases arise. I shall suggest ways in which the York cause paper evidence can indeed be used to illuminate broader social trends, but also suggest caveats as to the reading of individual causes.

Early in 1839, a congressional investigation into campaign fund-raising at the U.S. customhouse in New York first brought to public attention a problem in democracy that we still are trying to solve: Who should pay for our politics? By 1839, the deferential political system of the colonial era, in which government was the almost exclusive province of the old mercantile and landed elites, was well on its way out, at least in the North. Under that system, the upper classes provided the great majority of candidates for elective office and candidates paid their own campaign expenses. The transition to a more democratic system—of broader suffrage, organized parties, and professional politicians who did not have personal or family wealth—required a new way of financing campaigns. As politicians were no longer people who had money, they had to raise money.

ABSTRACTIn February 2006, women from every province of the Anglican Communion gathered in New York for the annual meeting of the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women. Once assembled, they established an organizational structure to perpetuate their gathering and called for an expanded women's presence on all Anglican Communion governing bodies. This article traces the development of the group, showing how a few women used the political structures of the Anglican Communion–the Anglican Observer at the United Nations, the Anglican Consultative Council and the International Anglican Women's Network–to assemble Anglican women. It demonstrates that the experience of meeting together became a source of empowerment for the participants and analyzes the factors contributing to the venture's success so that they might serve as models for the Anglican Communion as it struggles to maintain unity while embracing diversity.

En droit canadien, comme en droit américain, la question des limites à la liberté de parole et à la liberté de la presse se pose. Jusqu’où chacun peut-il exprimer ses idées dans une société libre ? Aux États-Unis, les arrêts Terminello c. Chicago et Feiner c. New York ont précisé ces limites. Au Canada, c’est l’arrêt Boucher c. The King qui l’a fait en 1950. La règle donnée par la Cour Suprême du Canada dans cette affaire ressemble à celle formulée un an plus tôt par la Cour Suprême des États-Unis dans Terminello c. Chicago. Toutefois, récemment, du moins dans la Province de Québec, il semble se dessiner un changement à la règle énoncée dans Boucher c. The King. En effet, dans Dubois c. La Société Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Montréal, la Cour d’appel du Québec a infirmé la décision de la Cour supérieure de cette province qui s’appuyait sur Boucher c. The King. Il s’agissait dans cette cause d’un débat politique qui n’était pas sans ressemblance avec l’affaire Terminello. L’affaire Dubois n’a pas été portée en appel devant la Cour Suprême du Canada. Nous ne savons donc pas quelle aurait été la position de celle-ci sur certains points. Dans son article, l’auteur discute de cette affaire à la lumière du droit canadien et du droit américain.

Per Kalm was born in 1716 in Sweden, the son of a family of Lutheran clergymen from the province of Ostrobothnia. He began his studies in natural sciences at Åbo Akademi in 1735, moved to Uppsala University in 1740, and soon became one of Carl Gustaf Linné’s foremost disciples. Pehr Kalm was considered as one of the purest exponents of 18th century Enlightenment and rationalism in Sweden/Finland. In October 1747 he commenced his journey to America, and returned to Stockholm in June 1751. His primary objective was to collect seeds of plants and trees considered to be economically useful for Sweden. During the journey Kalm kept a detailed diary in which he wrote observations on the weather, on plans and agricultural matters, on sundry customs among ethnic groups he met, reported discussions with different people, and made extracts from sources he deemed interesting.

Full textAbstract:
Numerous localities of specular hematite have been found in the Grenville Province in St. Lawrence County, New York. Here, we focus on six of them: the Dodge mine, the Chub Lake prospect, the Toothaker Creek prospect, the Bowman prospect, the Whitton prospect, and the Toothaker Pond prospect. We used literature research, interviews, and personal observations to establish the history of each site as a source of mineral specimens. We examined extensive holdings of specimens from each site in the New York State Museum. We used sight identification, chemical tests, x-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy as necessary to identify all the mineral species present. We had determinations made of the stable oxygen isotope content of quartz, hematite, and calcite from the Chub Lake prospect, reported as 18O relative to Vienna Standard Mean Ocean Water (VSMOW). We conclude that these occurrences formed from groundwaters at a temperature of about 170 °C in areas of low topography on the surface of the Precambrian basement rocks. Two hypotheses for this process are presented and evaluated. Well-crystallized specimens of bladed specular hematite and Cumberland-habit quartz are the most common minerals found. Noteworthy accessory crystallized minerals include barite, calcite, and goethite. All six deposits are relatively free of sulfides, so that secondary goethite formed from weathering of iron-rich carbonates at some sites. It is likely that more such deposits will be discovered in this region in the future.

The great cities of the Mid-Atlantic, from Washington, DC to New York City, were strategically placed along the fall line where the Piedmont physiographic province transitions to the Coastal Plain. Situated at the head of the tide, this landscape position held important attributes for city building, including safe harbor for ships, local stone for construction, and proximity to steep streams suitable to run mills. But the head of tide is also an important ecological landscape threshold, where carbon, sediment and nutrients are delivered from the uplands by streams and rivers and deposited in tidal freshwater and brackish marsh systems. In undisturbed landscapes, those marshes uptake and transform pollutants in the water while providing refugia for aquatic fauna, spawning habitat for fish, and feeding grounds for migrating waterfowl. As human development has displaced these ecosystems, the connection facilitated by the beneficial ecosystem services of the tidal marsh systems has been severed.

Greater than 33 trillion cubic feet of gas, 68 million barrels of natural gas liquids (NGL), and 192 million barrels of water have been produced from the Middle Devonian Marcellus Shale of the Hamilton Group in the Appalachian Basin. These volumes are from more than 11,700 non-commingled wells. Areas of greatest production and future potential for gas and NGL from the Marcellus Shale are within and near the northeast-trending Rome trough in northern West Virginia and Pennsylvania. Southernmost New York, eastern Ohio, western Virginia, and Maryland also contain petroleum potential and (or) reserves. A confluence of factors enhances gas and NGL reserves and resources in the Marcellus Shale. These include (1) brittleness based on lithofacies composition; (2) thickness and distribution of brittle and organic-rich shale; (3) measured thermal maturity of 1% vitrinite reflectance and greater; (4) at least 2 weight percent total organic carbon; (5) dense and complex fracturing and faulting; (6) presence of evaporite beds in the underlying Silurian Salina Group; (7) potential overpressure; (8) current depths of 1,370 m (4,500 ft) and greater, and (9) predominately horizontal wells with laterals that are oriented to the northwest or southeast, or roughly perpendicular to the direction of maximum horizontal stress, and that cross major fault and fracture sets.

Background Different states in the United States had different nonpharmaceutical public health interventions during the COVID-19 pandemic. The effects of those interventions on hospital use have not been systematically evaluated. The investigation could provide data-driven evidence to potentially improve the implementation of public health interventions in the future. Objective We aim to study two representative areas in the United States and one area in China (New York State, Ohio State, and Hubei Province), and investigate the effects of their public health interventions by time periods according to key interventions. Methods This observational study evaluated the numbers of infected, hospitalized, and death cases in New York and Ohio from March 16 through September 14, 2020, and Hubei from January 26 to March 31, 2020. We developed novel Bayesian generalized compartmental models. The clinical stages of COVID-19 were stratified in the models, and the effects of public health interventions were modeled through piecewise exponential functions. Time-dependent transmission rates and effective reproduction numbers were estimated. The associations of interventions and the numbers of required hospital and intensive care unit beds were studied. Results The interventions of social distancing, home confinement, and wearing masks significantly decreased (in a Bayesian sense) the case incidence and reduced the demand for beds in all areas. Ohio’s transmission rates declined before the state’s “stay at home” order, which provided evidence that early intervention is important. Wearing masks was significantly associated with reducing the transmission rates after reopening, when comparing New York and Ohio. The centralized quarantine intervention in Hubei played a significant role in further preventing and controlling the disease in that area. The estimated rates that cured patients become susceptible in all areas were small (<0.0001), which indicates that they have little chance to get the infection again. Conclusions The series of public health interventions in three areas were temporally associated with the burden of COVID-19–attributed hospital use. Social distancing and the use of face masks should continue to prevent the next peak of the pandemic.

Such similarities suggest that certain legal mechanisms and approaches to legal issues developed in the United States and Canada should be taken into account for further development of the Russian law on personal funds and implementation of the law in practice. The article analyses certain aspects of the Russian legislation on management of property of others (legal status of each instrument, liability of the managers to the beneficiaries and liability of founders of personal funds for the obligations of such funds) and compares provisions of Russian law with relevant laws of the State of New York and the Province of Quebec.

L’auteur peut ainsi mettre en évidence les disparités régionales canadiennes, puis relever celles qui existent entre le Québec et l’Ontario, et enfin distinguer même les populations françaises et anglaises de l’Ontario. Bien que « préliminaire », cette recherche oblige le chercheur à conclure que les Franco-Ontariens ont amélioré leur sort en s’établissant dans cette province, car, pourtant moins riches qu’ailleurs en Ontario, leurs terres, comme celles de leurs nouveaux compatriotes, affichaient un meilleur rendement que celles, plus fertiles, de la région de Montréal ; comme quoi la qualité des terres ne peut seule tout expliquer.

The first species of Rhizopogon subgenus Amylopogon identified from eastern North America is described here as Rhizopogon kretzerae Grubisha, Dowie, & Mill. sp. nov. In nature, R. kretzerae has been identified only from DNA sequences of the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer region (ITS) from mycorrhizal roots of Pinus strobus L. and Pterospora andromedea Nutt. Phylogenetic analyses and nucleotide divergence estimates of Rhizopogon ITS sequences from Pterospora roots from Quebec, Michigan, New York, and New Hampshire combined with ITS sequences of Rhizopogon subgenus Amylopogon species type collections suggest R. kretzerae is a sister-group to Rhizopogon salebrosus A.H. Sm. An absence of shared mutations, two informative sequence gaps, and 12 fixed nucleotide differences differentiate R. kretzerae and R. salebrosus. Furthermore, ITS sequences of 40 Pterospora root samples from five populations in the province of Quebec provided the first record of the distribution of R. kretzerae, a potentially rare to endangered species, in eastern Canada.

The Cambridge History of Capitalism, a formidable compendium of thirty-four essays spread over two volumes (each well over five hundred pages in length), was first conceived by the economic historians Larry Neal and Jeffrey Williamson in 2005. At that time, the “history of capitalism” was not yet a term of art in history departments; even in graduate workshops at Harvard, the locus classicus of the later movement, “political economy” was still the preferred phrase. By the time the book was published in 2014, much had changed: Harvard now offered a program on the “study of capitalism,” Cornell was convening a summer boot camp on the “history of capitalism,” Columbia had a book series on the history of “U.S. capitalism,” the Journal of American History had assembled a roundtable on the theme, and the front page of the New York Times had taken notice. Questions that long seemed the province of other disciplines had come to the forefront in history departments.

Abstract This study looks at the emergence of newspaper sport cartooning in the early twentieth century through a comparison of the parochial images of Vancouver British Columbia cartoonist James Fitzmaurice and the syndicated American sports cartoons of Robert Ripley. The study examines the working lives of the best known American sport cartoonists and then focuses on the work of Vancouver Province staff cartoonist James B. Fitzmaurice during the prewar period and how these images grew out of local experience. With the arrival of the syndicated sports cartoons of New York City cartoonist Robert Ripley in 1914, Vancouver readers are given “world of sport” images that differed from the more eclectic visual meanings tied to local experience that characterized Fitzmaurice’s work. This study suggests that the contrast between Fitzmaurice and Ripley marks the difference between two levels of sport culture consumption and that visual culture acted as an important conduit for the growth of shared international sport consciousness.

Full textAbstract:
The area of seagrasses in waters adjacent to the Queensland coast between Cape York and Hervey Bay is approximately 4000 km2. Seagrasses were found near estuaries, in coastal bays and associated with islands, at sites that provided shelter from the south-easterly trade winds and Pacific Ocean swells. Of the seagrass meadows mapped, 37% had a bottom vegetation cover greater than 50%. Two large continuous areas (total of approximately 2500 km2) of seagrass of predominantly Halophila species were found in deep water in Hervey Bay and between Barrow Point and Lookout Point and may be part of a much larger area of deep-water seagrass habitat not yet surveyed in the Great Barrier Reef province. Fourteen seagrass species were found in the surveyed region, and most were typical of the northern Australian and Indo-West Pacific region. The opportunistic Halophila and Halodule species were most common, with Halophila ovalis (R. Br.) Hook. f. and Halodule uninervis (Forsk.) Aschers. each being found in more than 15% of samples. High species richness occurred at depths of less than 6 m, predominantly in sheltered bays at coastal and island locations. Low species richness at estuary- associated sites may be due to stresses caused by low salinity during monsoonal runoff periods or exposure at low tides. Zostera capricorni Aschers. was restricted to these areas and may have a competitive advantage over other species with lesser tolerance to varying salinity. Species richness decreased with an increase in both latitude and depth. The latitudinal limits of recorded distributions for some of these tropical seagrasses were confirmed. Seagrass biomass decreased with increasing depth, but parameters of seagrass abundance showed no correlation with latitude, being dependent on a complex of site-related factors. High seagrass biomass occurred at sheltered sites, including estuary-associated, coastal-bay and island-associated sites. The maximum recorded above-ground biomass was 102.9 g m-2 for Zostera capricorni at Upstart Bay. Shoot densities reached 13 806 shoots m-2 for Halophila ovalis at Escape River, and the highest leaf area index was 1.81 for Zostera capricorni at Upstart Bay.
