Get PDFThe first Chapter General meeting of the Order of St John held after the victory over the Turks in the Great Siege of 1565, took place on 10 February of the following year. Before dealing with the agenda of the day, orations were delivered. One of these was presented by Augustinian Fr Spiritus Pelo Anguisciola who would yet deliver another oration, a month later, on the occasion of the laying of the foundation stone of Valletta, in March 1566. The text of the latter had been published by Gian Francesco Abela in 1647. The texts of both orations -taken from original manuscripts discovered by the present author -are being reproduced in this paper. The text of the former is being published herein for the first time.peer-reviewe

The Flintlock Site (8JA1763): An unusual underwater deposit in the Apalachicola River, Florida
No full textIn the fall of 2001, staff of the Florida Bureau of Archaeological Research were led by river divers to an underwater site in the Apalachicola River containing a large concentration of prehistoric and historic artifacts lying on the riverbed. Subsequent inspection of the submerged river bank and scoured limestone river channel revealed a myriad of objects, which included iron fasteners, metal tools and implements, broken glass bottles, stone projectile points, scattered bricks and stone blocks, and other materials. Discovery of two large fragments of a wooden watercraft, a bayonet, a copper arrowhead, and flintlock gun barrels initially prompted researchers to hypothesize that the site might represent the remains of a U.S. Army boat that was attacked in 1817 by Seminole Indians while en route upriver. The episode, which caused the deaths of more than 30 soldiers and several women who were aboard the boat, led to the First Seminole War and the U.S. Army invasion of Florida. To investigate this hypothesis, a systematic survey of the riverbed was undertaken in the spring of 2002 to record underwater features and recover additional diagnostic artifacts. These activities employed side-scan sonar as well as diver visual investigations. This paper presents a case study of the value and broader significance of aggregate data where interpretation was underpinned by artefactual, historical and environmental
analysis.Journal ArticleFinal article publishe
Global Warming - How Reliable Are the Surface Air Temperature Data?
No full textAbstract
Global warming is widely promoted by many climate scientists, environmental activists and politicians as the greatest threat facing humanity because it is believed to increase the intensity, frequency and duration of several natural hazards such as hurricanes, floods, droughts and heatwaves. To monitor and quantify the magnitude of global warming, the Climatic Research Unit (CRU), University of East Anglia, analyses temperature data collected at weather stations worldwide. At the end of July 2011, after two years of denying requests made under the Freedom of Information Act for its temperature data, the CRU was legally forced by the United Kingdom Information Commissioner’s Office to release the temperature data from over 5000 weather stations, including the Piarco Meteorological Station of Trinidad and Tobago (T&T), into the public domain. While nearly all countries were either indifferent to or gave permission for the release of their data, T&T asked categorically that its data be kept private. The reluctance to make its data available for public scrutiny naturally aroused suspicion that T&T may have something to hide. We investigated our suspicion by performing a routine homogeneity assessment of the CRU-T&T annual mean temperature time series data using a suite of statistical changepoint detection tests which identified the year 1979 as a statistically significant (P < 0.01) changepoint. We then compared the CRU-T&T data with the data obtained from the Piarco Meteorological Office which revealed that in 1980 the CRU-T&T temperature data series changed from being computed using hourly values (4 hourly readings taken at 2:00 am, 8:00 am, 2:00 pm and 8:00 pm) to using daily maximum and minimum values until 1990 when it reverted to the use of hourly values. This finding implies that the CRU-T&T temperature data are unfit for use in the computation of the global annual mean surface air temperature and casts doubt and suspicion on the quality of data from other countries where proper quality control and homogeneity assessment procedures may also be lacking. We conclude that it is quite likely that a T&T official is aware of this glaring error and sought to hide it from the public. This investigation therefore underscores the need for careful quality assessment of all climate data used to quantify the occurrence and risk of climate hazards in the Caribbean region

What Do Quarterly Workforce Dynamics Tell Us About Wal-Mart? Evidence from New Stores in Pennsylvania
Get PDFIn this paper I seek to better inform debate regarding Wal-Mart’s local impact on wages, and employment dynamics by combining data on Wal-Mart stores with the recently release Quarterly Workforce Indicators provided by the US Census. Use a panel of Pennsylvania counties, who saw entrance of a Wal-Mart in 2002, I find a new store has no effect on existing employee wages in the retail sector. However, new retail sector hires experience a roughly 1,500 purchases of diapers annual since 1999 I have no financial relationship with Wal-Mart or any affiliate that I am aware of.Wal-Mart, Pennsylvania, Quarterly Workforce Indicators

The mob and me ::wise guys and the Witness Protection Program /
No full textThis revealing first person narrative, by one of the founders of the Witness Protection Program and a personal protector to more than five hundred informants, offers an eye opening, dead on authentic perspective on the safeguard institution. How did law enforcement's frustration with the criminal underworld and a serpentine series of hit or miss rules and mistakes give rise to one of the most significant and endlessly fascinating government run programs of the 20th century? In 1967, the author, a U.S. Marshal was given the task of overseeing the protection of the wife and young daughter of renowned mobster Joe "The Animal" Barboza, now an informant with a bounty on his head. It wasn't Partington's first time guarding underworld witnesses. But this time was different. It was at the behest of Senator Bobby Kennedy that Partington became the architect of a new high threat program to get the bad guys to testify against the worse guys. Lifelong protection in exchange for the conviction of the upper echelon of organized crime would require a permanent identity change for every member of the witness's family, a battery of psychological tests for re assimilation, and a total, devastating obliteration of all ties with the past. With no blueprint for success, it created a logistical nightmare for the author. He would have to make up the rules as he went along, and he did so without the luxury of knowing whom he could really trust at any given time. And so, the Witness Protection Program was born. The account he tells of the next thirty years of his life is a never before seen portrait of members of the underworld and law enforcement, from Joe Valachi, the first mobster to violate the "omerta," the sacrosanct code of silence, to high profile informant and NYPD narcotics detective Bob Leuci, immortalized in Prince of the City. He reveals the details of the protection provided such significant figures as Watergate players to Howard Hunt and John and Maureen Dean. Ultimately, he delivers the unvarnished truth of the Program, from the heavily shielded delivery of witnesses to trial, to countless death threats, to managing an ever rotating crew of U.S. Marshals, to the step by step procedure of reinventing his sometimes dangerous, sometimes terrified charges and their families as uncomplicated suburbanites. These would be the guarded new neighbors just across the street bearing secret histories, uncomfortable actors in a play that would run for the rest of their lives. Lifting a cloak of confidentiality and controversy, this book immerses readers in the rarified, misunderstood world of Witness Protection, at once human, dangerous, intimate, surprising, and stone cold violent
