# Stephen Pevnick

Stephen Pevnick (born 1944) is an American interdisciplinary artist who works in a variety of media, including interactive art, public art, permanent installations, and installations for the trade show industry. He is currently a Professor of Art at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee.

## Education

Pevnick earned his BA in Design at Southern Illinois University Carbondale, and went on to earn a MFA in Multimedia and Sculpture from Washington University in St. Louis. He began his teaching career at the University of South Florida in 1972 and moved to Milwaukee and the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee in 1978.

## Development of the Graphical Waterfall

In 1974 Pevnick received a grant from the University of South Florida to explore the idea of forming graphics in free falling water droplet images. In 1977 he produced the first three-dimensional computer-controlled waterfall image, a falling diamond, on a machine which would evolve into today's Graphical Waterfall. The valve system was a horizontal square, 4 feet by 4 feet, and had an 8 nozzle by 8 nozzle grid totaling 64 nozzles. Pevnick received a patent for a "program controllable free falling water drop fountain" in 1981. In 1980 and 1984 he received project fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and in 1983 he won one of 10 Industrial Design Excellence Awards from the Industrial Designers Society of America for the design of a one-foot square 576 nozzle modular valve and of a matrix of 4 valves together. In 1988 the first Graphical Waterfall was displayed at the International Art Exhibition, Navy Pier in Chicago.

## Notable displays and exhibitions

The most notable displays have been a 24 ft. wide Graphical Waterfall shown for Jeep at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Michigan in the years 2000 - 2008 and featured on YouTube; a 24 ft. wide Graphical Waterfall shown for the King of Thailand’s 60th anniversary of his ascension to the throne in 2006 in Bangkok and a 12 ft. wide by 50 ft. tall Graphical Waterfall displayed for Anheuser-Busch at Centennial Olympic Park for the Summer Olympics in Atlanta in 1996.
The first permanent installation of a Graphical Waterfall was in 2008 in the Oakland Shopping Center in Guatemala City, Guatemala.

## Current work

Pevnick's current research centers around real-time multimedia and computer-controlled kinetic sculpture and water.

# Costanza Starace

Blessed Costanza Starace (5 September 1845 – 13 September 1921) was an Italian Roman Catholic nun. She was the founder of the religious congregation known as the Compassionist Sisters Servants of Mary. Starace later assumed the new name of "Maria Maddalena of the Passion" upon the occasion of her solemn profession. She became a secular member of the Servite Order after she failed to join a religious order.
Starace devoted her life to Jesus Christ and to the Mother of God in her mission to evangelize and provide relief to the ill - this was evident during a series of cholera outbreaks near Naples. She established her order to assist in proving relief and extending that service to the poor.
She was beatified on 15 April 2007.

## Life

Costanza Starace was born on 5 September 1845 to Francesco Starace and Maria Rosa Cascone as the first of six children. At her baptism she was consecrated to the Mother of God for protection.
As a child she attended a boarding school that the Daughters of Charity ran in Castellammare di Stabia. She was attracted to religious life and entered a convent at the age of twelve but was discharged and returned home at the age of fourteen due to her poor health. It was back at home that she enlisted the aid of a tutor who also helped her to start a regular life of reflection. As an adolescent she made efforts twice to enter religious life but was hampered with her health and thus she was required to return to her home; despite these attempts her parents objected. She became a Servite tertiary and made her final profession on 18 June 1867 in the name of "Maria Maddalena of the Passion". The Bishop of Casteallammare di Stabia Francesco Petagna placed her as the head of the Pious Union of the Daughters of Mary and part of her time involved teaching catechism to the youth.
Following a series of cholera outbreaks she decided to gather a group of women to help sufferers from the spread. It was at this point that she established the Compassionist Sisters Servants of Mary; the congregation received initial approval on 27 May 1871.
Starace died on 13 December 1921 of pneumonia. She was later re-interred in Scanzano [it] on 19 August 1929.

## Beatification

The beatification process commenced on 4 April 1939 under Pope Pius XII and this granted her the title Servant of God. The process commenced on a local level in Castellammare di Stabia and the local process closed in 1942. It saw the accumulation of both documentation and witness testimonies and was granted formal ratification in 1993 - decades later - for the cause to proceed. The Positio was submitted to the Congregation for the Causes of Saints in Rome in 1995 for further evaluation.
Pope John Paul II proclaimed her to be Venerable on 7 July 2003 after he recognized that Starace had lived a life of heroic virtue.
The miracle required for her beatification was subjected to a diocesan tribunal and was ratified on 13 June 2003. Pope Benedict XVI approved the healing as a miracle on 26 June 2006 and allowed for her beatification to take place on 15 April 2007. Cardinal José Saraiva Martins - on behalf of the pope - presided over the beatification.

# Dravyavati River

Dravyavati River is major South-flowing river in Rajasthan. It originates in on the western slope of Amber hills and flows through the Jaipur city, north to south over a length of 57.5 km (35.7 mi), making it one of the smallest river in India, providing a major source of water to the city. It finally joins the Dhund river, near Santoshpura.$^{:167}$ Most of the Jaipur city's population stays within the 10 km (6.2 mi) periphery of Dravyavati river.

## Deterioration

In 2016 the river was described as having deteriorated into a nullah, over the preceding century. The river had been comprehensively damaged by local pollution, garbage and debris. Tata has been allotted the task to clear debris and filth of the nulla to rejuvenate it to her ancient glory, progress have been made over years but it still seems to have a long way too go considering some of the nulla in residential areas such as Kartarpura Nulla is not been integrated in the project despite constant pleas and lawsuits by the locals, it has been contended that Kartarpura nulla turns into a massive sink hole risking lives of people passing nearby when it downpours intensely. the matter is still pending in the High Court, Jaipur. Two River fronts have been constructed across Jaipur city as part of this project.
One cause of the pollution is the collection of storm water from adjoining areas such as Ambabari, the Walled City of Jaipur, Sanganer town and Pratap Nagar. Sewerage mixed with domestic wastewater and industrial waste drains into the river through Nahri ka Nallah, Jawahar Nallah and other streams that come from structured and unstructured sewerage systems of the suburbs.
Major flooding occurred in July 1981 that washed away many dams and embankments on the river. Subsequent encroaching development and pollution changed the nature of the river to the degree that it became known as "Amanishah nullah". Another flood in August 2012 left the city of Jaipur devastated, thousands homeless and many dead.

## Rejuvenation project

In 2015 Tata Group produced a report for the rejuvenation of the river. This was approved by Rajasthan's state-level empowered committee (SLEC) in October 2015, having an estimated ten-year project cost, covering construction, operation and maintenance, of over 19 million Rupees. The contract for the project was awarded by the Jaipur Development Authority (JDA) to a consortium comprising Tata Projects and the Shanghai Urban Construction Group with an initial cost of over 16 million Rupees to complete the work by October 2018. Construction works will include 85 check dams and 122 fall structures.
As part of the rejuvenation project a combined footpath and cycle track running alongside the river from the source at Jaisalya to Goner, 47 km (29 mi), has been proposed.

# Church of the Holy Cross (Stateburg, South Carolina)

The Church of the Holy Cross is a historic Anglican church at 335 North Kings Highway in Stateburg, South Carolina. Built in 1850-52 to a design by noted South Carolina architect Edward C. Jones, it is a notable example of rammed earth construction with relatively high style Gothic Revival styling. It was designated a National Historic Landmark for its architecture in 1973.
In 2013, the Church of the Holy Cross disaffiliated with the Episcopal Church over disagreement with its direction. The conservative congregation realigned with the Anglican Church in North America.

## Description and history

The church stands on the east side of North Kings Highway, west of the city of Sumter. Its walls, constructed of yellow rammed earth, stand 40 feet (12 m) tall, and are covered in stucco, with buttressing at the corners and long sides of its cruciform plan. A tower stands attached to one end, and the steeply pitched roof is finished in tile. Window and door openings are in the shape of Gothic arches. The church interior is painted gray in a manner resembling stone.
The church was built in 1850-52 on land donated earlier by American Revolutionary War General Thomas Sumter. It was designed by Edward C. Jones, one of South Carolina's leading architects. Although he was a prolific designer, a relatively small number of his works survive.
Across the road from the church is Borough House Plantation, the historic home and property of Dr. William Wallace Anderson, chairman of the committee that built the church. In 1820, Dr. Anderson had built his own house of rammed earth on his plantation, plus additional outbuildings of the same construction. Several of these survive, and the plantation complex has also been designated as a National Historic Landmark. These landmarks are both included within what is now known as the Stateburg Historic District.
The Church of the Holy Cross is still an active parish. In 2013, it disaffiliated from the Episcopal Church over its direction. The conservative congregation realigned with the Anglican Church in North America, part of the Anglican realignment. The current rector is Fr. Michael E. Ridgill, priest.
An 18-month, $2.3 million restoration to repair extensive termite damage was completed in late January 2010 under former rector the Rev. Fr. Thomas W. Allen. The church has its original Erben pipe organ, installed in 1851.
