Divided Conquerors: the Rump Parliament, Cromwell's Army and Ireland

This article reassesses the relationship that existed in the period 1649–53 between war in Ireland and politics in England. Drawing upon a largely overlooked Irish army petition, it seeks to remedy an evident disconnect between the respective historiographies of the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland on the one hand and the Rump Parliament on the other. The article reconstructs some of the various disputes over religion, authority and violence that undermined the unity of the English wartime regime in Ireland. It then charts the eventual spilling over of these disputes into Westminster politics, arguing that their impact on deteriorating army-parliament relations in the year prior to Oliver Cromwell’s expulsion of the Rump in April 1653 has not been fully appreciated. The key driver of these developments was John Weaver, a republican MP and commissioner for the civil government of Ireland. The article explains how his efforts both to place restraints on the excessive violence of the conquest and to exert civilian control over the military evolved, by 1652, into a determined campaign at Westminster to strengthen the powers of Ireland’s civil government and to limit the army’s share in the prospective Irish land settlement. Weaver’s campaign forced the army officers in Ireland to intervene at Westminster, thus placing increased pressure on the Rump Parliament. This reassessment also enables the early 1650s to be viewed more clearly as a key phase in the operation of the longer-term relationships of mutual influence that existed between Dublin and London in the seventeenth century.

Alternatives for Rural Roads, HR-242, 1989

Much of the nation's rural road system is deteriorating. Many of the roads were built in the 1880s and 1890s with the most recent upgrading done in the 1940s and 1950s. Consequently, many roads and bridges do not have the capacity for the increased loads, speed, and frequent use of today's vehicles. Because of the growing demands and a dense county road system (inherited from the land settlement policies two centuries ago), revenue available to counties is inadequate to upgrade andmaintain the present system. Either revenue must be increased - an unpopular option - or costs must be reduced. To examine cost-saving options, Iowa State University conducted a study of roads and bridges in three 100 square mile areas in Iowa: • A suburban area • A rural area with a large number of paved roads, few bridges, and a high agricultural tax base and •A more rural area in a hilly terrain with many bridges and gravel roads, and a low agricultural tax base. A cost-benefit analysis was made on the present road system in these areas on such options as abandoning roads with limited use, converting some to private drives, and reducing maintenance on these types of roads. In only a few instances does abandonment of low traffic volume roads produce cost savings for counties and abutting land owners that exceed the additional travel costs to the public. In this study, the types of roads that produced net savings when abandoned were: • A small percentage (less than 5 percent) of the nonpaved county roads in the suburban area. However, net savings were very small. Cost savings from reducing the county road system in urbanized areas are very limited. • Slightly more than 5 percent of the nonpaved county roads in the most rural area that had a small number of paved county roads. • More than 12 percent of the nonpaved roads in the rural area that had a relatively large number of paved county and state roads. Converting low-volume roads to low-maintenance or Service B roads produces the largest savings of all solutions considered. However, future bridge deterioration and county liability on Service B roads are potential problems. Converting low-volume roads to private drives also produces large net savings. Abandonment of deadend roads results in greater net savings than continuous roads. However, this strategy shifts part of the public maintenance burden to land owners. Land owners also then become responsible for accident liability. Reconstruction to bring selected bridges with weight restrictions up to legal load limits reduces large truck and tractor-wagon mileage and costs. However, the reconstruction costs exceeded the reduction in travel costs. Major sources of vehicle miles on county roads are automobiles used for household purposes and pickup truck travel for farm purposes. Farm-related travel represents a relatively small percent of total travel miles, but a relatively high percentage of total travel costs.

A política de regularização fundiária e reforma agrária: o PAE nas ilhas do Pará

O objetivo desse trabalho é realizar um estudo sobre a Política de Regularização Fundiária e Reforma Agrária na Região Amazônica, a partir do II Plano Nacional de Reforma Agrária (II PNRA), que inseriu as populações tradicionais ribeirinhas no conjunto de seu público. Tendo como foco de análise os projetos de assentamentos em ilhas dos municípios da Microrregião do Baixo Tocantins/PA, realizados por uma força tarefa entre o INCRA e a SPU. Contudo, a proposta de democratização do uso e posse da terra, que possibilita a seguridade fundiária às populações ribeirinhas, não foi priorizada e estrategicamente planejada pelas instituições públicas. Mediante as análises do processo decisório e dos planos de ação das instituições, das percepções e coleta de dados do associativismo das populações assentadas e dos resultados das eleições do período de 2000 a 2010, chegou-se à conclusão de que os projetos de assentamentos foram realizados de forma intensa e desordenada, para responder positivamente a índices de reforma agrária do governo Lula e para causar impacto nos resultados eleitorais essenciais à manutenção da governabilidade do sistema político.

Folks, it's a great treat to have this opportunity to share with you how we in the Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources are at work for Nebraska. I want to talk with you a little bit today about that work, our land-grant university history, and where our vision for Nebraska's future is taking us.

Commonplace book of Moses Appleton, 1791-1815 (inclusive)

Volume containing medicinal recipes, medical notes, poetry, and obituaries written by Dr. Moses Appleton (1773-1849). Many of the recipes were copied from medical texts or other publications. His "cure for the dropsy," taken from the New York Herald, contained stale cider, parsley, horseradish, oxymel squills (sea onion in honey), and juniper berries. For diarrhea, he prescribed a blackberry syrup. Several entries indicate Appleton practiced Thomsonian medicine, an alternative system based on use of botanicals. The medical notes include an account of his treatment of a man with smallpox in 1815, and entries on patients he inoculated with cowpox matter. Another entry dated in 1796 provides instructions from the Massachusetts Humane Society for "treatment to be used with persons apparently dead from drowning," which included blowing tobacco smoke in the victim's lungs and applying warm blankets for several hours. Appleton adds a note questioning whether or not the lungs also should be "often artificially inflated." There is additionally a history of prominent physicians dating from ancient Greece.

Café, mano de obra y poblamiento: invitación a un análisis comparado

ResumenEn este breve ensayo se plantean de modo general e introductorio ciertas relaciones históricas entre expansión cafetalera y procesos migratorios, concretamente referidos a la colonización agrícola y procesos migratorios, concretamente referidos a la colonización agrícola. Alude algunos casos caribeños y continentales, para luego sugerir posibles líneas de comparación y discusión comparada.AbstractThis brief essay provides a general introduction to certain historical relations between the expansion of coffee cultivation and migratory processes, specifically land settlement.
