Volker Rose, assistant physicist with the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science’s Advanced Photon Source X-ray Science Division and Center for Nanoscale Materials at Argonne National Laboratory, works on a prototype high-resolution microscope at the nanoprobe beamline in Sector 26 of the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne. He won a DOE Early Career Grant in 2012 to help with R&D for the project. Rose’s award will allow him to develop a novel high-resolution microscopy technique for imaging nanoscale materials with chemical, electronic, and magnetic contrast. The technique will combine sub-nanometer spatial resolution of scanning probe microscopy with the chemical, electronic, and magnetic sensitivity of synchrotron radiation.

The South Australian Government established the Advanced School for Girls in Franklin Street, Adelaide in 1879.
This acknowledgement of the changing role of women and the need for well-educated teachers after the Education Act 1875 was only five years after the founding of the University of Adelaide, which from its inception planned to admit women to degrees.
The Advanced School offered girls, whose parents could afford the fees, preparation for university education and entry into the professions. It was viewed with pride by Adelaide families. It was South Australia’s only public academic high school. [Ref: Adelaidia]
Involved in the formation of the Advanced School were campaigners, public health reformer Dr Allen Campbell, the writer and reformer Catherine Helen Spence, and educationist John Hartley, who was headmaster of Prince Alfred College.
Despite objections that an advanced education in mathematics, science and languages would be of no use to girls destined to enter domestic service, Dr Campbell headed a committee to establish the school, and worked closely with Madeline Rees George.
By the late 1880s the school had grown and flourished and this red brick building was designed by C E Owen Smyth, the superintendent of public buildings. It was built by J J Leahy in 1891.
It had 11 rooms, five of which were classrooms. There was a dining room and kitchen, with a music room being added in 1902.
The Advanced School shifted to their new premises in September 1891 and the following report of year’s activities reveals their appreciation and pleasure with their improved circumstances.
*ADVANCED SCHOOL FOR GIRLS
The annual prize distribution in connection with the Advanced School for Girls took place in the Victoria Hall on Wednesday evening, December 16. The Minister of Education (Hon J G Jenkins MP) presided over an overflowing audience. As usual the scholars were arranged on the dais surrounding the President's chair. The prizes were distributed by the Minister in three sections— first, second, and third classes; fourth and fifth classes; and special prizes.
The Inspector-General of Schools (Mr J A Hartley BA BSc) read the report of the Head Mistress (Miss Madeline Lees George) as follows: “The year 1891, now drawing to a close, has been a memorable one in the history of the Advanced School for Girls. Our long-cherished wish was fulfilled when in September we removed from our old inconvenient premises and took possession of the new school erected especially for us in Grote Street.
The change has proved a vast improvement in every respect, and teachers and pupils alike appreciate the benefit derived from lofty, well-ventilated classrooms and the many conveniences hitherto lacking. Among the numerous advantages that of a large asphalted playground is not the least. Now the girls have plenty of room for games and recreation. A tennis court has been marked out, and next year we hope to form a club.
“We have every reason to be satisfied with the attendance. In 1890 we closed with 144 names on the roll. This year our pupils number 163, and the increase throughout the year has been no less marked.
“Last year the average attendance was 124: this year it is 150. Our work has been on much the same lines as in former years, and the energy and industry of the girls who have entered for the various examinations are deserving of all praise: while in the lower classes the work done is good and thorough, and the pupils take a hearty interest in it.
“The results obtained in the University examinations are very satisfactory. In the Preliminary Examination twenty-six girls passed. In the Junior there were fifteen successful candidates, two being placed in the first class, one in the second, eight in the third, while four were not classified owing to the girls having been over the age.
The Old Scholars' Association continues an active and energetic existence, and the interest shown by the old scholars in the school and their affection for it are particularly gratifying. Many of our former pupils are engaged in teaching: others are studying at the University. We follow their career with great interest, and it is a source of pleasure to us to see how well they figure in the University lists this year.
Mr Hartley also congratulated the audience of parents and friends before him and the community at large upon the possession of the Advanced School. A few weeks ago invitations were issued for a party of visitors to inspect the new school building in Grote Street, for they wanted the people to see the fine building erected for the girls, and if there were any doubts about the suitableness of the premises they would soon be dispelled.

THE DAILY NEWS, NEW YORK CITY (15 JULY 2015) - Dirty and disorganized, Rome is once more in decline. City hall is paralyzed by allegations of Mafia infiltration, basic services are in tatters, the main airport is partially closed, and wild cat strikes have frayed an already ropey public transport network.
For generations, the Italian capital has rested on past glories rather than built on them. The years of neglect, corruption and bureaucratic bungling have taken a fierce toll, reflecting a wider malaise that afflicts Italy as a whole.
"Rome is on the verge of collapse," Giancarlo Cremonesi, the president of the Rome Chamber of Commerce, told Reuters. "It is unacceptable that a major city which calls itself developed can find itself in such a state of decay."
One of the 10 biggest cities in Europe, with a population of 2.8 million, Rome boasts some of the most spectacular squares, fountains, museums and churches in the world.
But like its ancient monuments, its problems are plain for all to see, starting at the main international gateway into the city, Fiumicino, Italy's largest airport, which is struggling to bounce back from a fire that broke out on May 7.
Although the blaze was confined to just part of one of its three terminals, more than two months later, 40 percent of all flights still have to be canceled each day because of a dispute over the danger posed by contaminants
unleashed by the flames. Magistrates sealed the site for weeks to gauge the air quality, while various public bodies argued over how airports should be classified when it came to measuring pollution.
"In this case you see many things that are typically Italian. For example the role of the magistrates," Vito Riggio, the head of the Italian Civil Aviation Authority, told Reuters. All the fire damaged material should have been immediately removed to speed up the rebuilding, he said.
"Instead the place was officially sealed. Nobody could enter and the source of the (contaminants) continued to pollute. It is not hard to grasp, but no one said anything, not even the government. I don't believe other countries are like that."
The prosecutors' office dealing with the case said the sequestration order was lifted on June 24 and there was no legal impediment preventing a return to normal operations, although its investigation continues.
No date has been set for a full reopening and the smell of burnt plastics lingers in the departures halls.
MAFIA MESS
A much larger investigation has engulfed Rome city hall, housed in a Renaissance palace designed by Michelangelo and gazes out across the ruins of the ancient Roman forum.
The "Mafia Capital" probe, which hit the headlines last December following a first wave of arrests, has rattled Italy, suggesting that organized crime was flourishing far beyond its traditional southern bastions. Buried under 14 billion euros ($15.5 billion) of debt, Rome was saved from bankruptcy last year by emergency state funds. The mafia scandal has helped explain the financial mess, with wiretap transcripts suggesting mobsters had siphoned off millions of euros from a string of lucrative contracts, covering everything from recycling paper to sheltering immigrants.
Italy is struggling to shake off its worst post World War Two slump, a three year slide that has driven unemployment up to 1970s levels. While the real economy plunged, the illegal one, such as that unmasked in Rome, has spread
and thrived. Much of the alleged corruption dates back to the time of the previous mayor, Gianni Alemanno, a former rightwing minister who is under investigation. He denies any wrongdoing. However, magistrates say the mobsters' tentacles have also delved into the current administration, run by Ignazio Marino, a liver transplant surgeon and an ally of centerleft Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi.
While Marino is not implicated, a number of his staff have come under scrutiny, leading to a stream of resignations. A city source says an official review has recommended that around 30 major public contracts be annulled and reoffered for tender.
In a letter to Corriere della Sera newspaper, published on Monday, mayor Marino conceded that much of Rome's public administration was "substantially rotten".
But, in the same way that Renzi was trying to change Italy with a battery of reforms, so he was looking to shake up sclerotic Rome, he said. "There is strenuous resistance to any type of change (here) ... but I will never give up,"
he wrote. With grass running wild by the kerbsides and graffiti spreading like garish vines along buildings, Marino this month put together a 500 strong taskforce of employees and volunteers to help clean up Rome's neglected green spaces. "Rome is falling apart at the seams," the city's main newspaper, Il Messaggero, lamented on its frontpage last week. On an inside page it reported a rat infestation in the center.
A 2013 European Commission survey placed Rome last out of 28 EU capitals in the rankings for the efficiency of city services. Despite its fine cuisine and sunny climate, Rome came second to last for quality of life satisfaction. Athens
was bottom.
Rome also came last when it came to satisfaction with public transport. This summer's chaos will not have
improved sentiment.
RUBBISH AND PICKPOCKETS
Metro drivers have staged a series of go slows to protest at a new norm requiring them to clock into work. The
mayor says this is needed to boost productivity, arguing that while drivers in Milan work 1,200 hours a year, in Rome they put in 730 hours.
The dispute has led to delays of up to 25 minutes between trains, leaving stranded passengers sweltering in the hottest July for more than a decade and fuelling anger on Internet protest sites like 'Rome Sucks' (Roma Fa Schifo).
Rome is the most popular tourist destination in the country, attracting some 10.61 million foreign visitors in 2014. This was down from more than 11 million the year before and locals say the poor state of infrastructure is hurting.
"All my clients say Rome is beautiful, but all of them, without fail, complain about the services," said Marcello Lazazzera, who owns a small bed and breakfast, Domus Cornelia.
"The metros never arrive on time, the stations are full of pickpockets, the streets are full of rubbish. Instead of getting better, the situation is getting worse."
It could get worse still in 2016, when 25 million pilgrims are expected to flow into the Eternal City in response to Pope Francis's call for an extraordinary Holy Year one of the Roman Catholic Church's most important events.
The mayor's office has yet to layout its strategy for coping with the influx, or earmark any funds to cover the cost.
"The prayers of the pope will not be enough. Here we need a miracle from the lord above for Rome to emerge in good shape," said Chamber of Commerce chief, Cremonesi.
