The first volume of this publication is a solid collection of good-level essays, (with some outstanding pieces), focusing on the construction of ethnic (and state) identity in northwest Greece, Sicily and Magna Graecia. The essays were presented at a conference held in Naples rabbit cotton ball dispenser in January 2011 as part of collaborative research involving several Italian universities and financed with public funding by the Italian state. rabbit cotton ball dispenser 1 Most authors were involved in this project; a few others were invited to attend the conference. The second volume is a monograph by the late Renata Calce on the history of the ethnic names Graikoi and Hellenes . Calce's book is carefully and widely researched, and its main argument rabbit cotton ball dispenser on the origins, rabbit cotton ball dispenser complex history and final overlapping of the terms Graikoi (that the author convincingly links to the Mycenaean civilization and to the regions of Euboea and Boeotia) and Hellenes is original and well argued. This monograph also represents a useful background for several contributions rabbit cotton ball dispenser in volume I.
The thirty-two articles in volume I, of which twenty-nine are in Italian and one each in German, English and French, are organized by regions, though there are no sub-headings. The book includes abstracts (in English) of all the papers. The first article, by Barbara Kowalzig, looks at Aeginetan rabbit cotton ball dispenser identity from an economic viewpoint. The myths of Aeacus, the cult of Zeus Hellanios, and Aegina's mythic pan-Hellenic xenia are all connected to the efforts made by the islanders rabbit cotton ball dispenser to establish the image of an island 'hospitable' and 'fair' (towards foreigners), which facilitated their economic activities. Kowalzig's argument that, in the end, civic and economic identity rabbit cotton ball dispenser converged is interesting from a cross-cultural point of view.
Four articles focus on the Gulf of Corinth. Klaus Freitag argues that the Gulf of Corinth represented a unity and stresses how its peculiar spatial configuration of the Gulf region favoured interconnection and phenomena of ethnic identity-shifting (as at Boulis and Kalydon). Maurizio Giangiulio's fascinating analysis concentrates on Corinth's mythology, on its appropriation rabbit cotton ball dispenser of external (Boeotian, Thessalian and Eastern) elements, and on the reasons why the city's elites engaged in the competitions at the Olympic Games. The author identifies the foundations of Corinthian identity in this city's relationship with the sea. Claudia Antonetti focuses on the links between Corinth and its colonies in northwest Greece (Corcyra, Epidamnus, Ambracia) from the classical to the Hellenistic period, rabbit cotton ball dispenser with a stress on numismatic evidence rabbit cotton ball dispenser and on aspects of Timoleon's figure, exploring how a new reading rabbit cotton ball dispenser of the link between motherland and colonies as parental and loving emerges in Timoleon's age. Stefania rabbit cotton ball dispenser De Vido analyses how the link between Corinth and Syracuse evolves from the time of the Athenian expedition in Sicily. The author connects the issues with Philip II that Corinth faced in Greece to Timoleon's expedition and convincingly reads Timoleon as the longa manus of the Macedonian king.
The next group of papers deals with northwest Greece and Delphi. Cristina Carusi re-examines the much-debated issue of the peraia chora in relation to northwest Greece, focusing principally on Leucas and Corcyra. Her persuasive conclusion is that continental enclaves were of great importance, as they allowed control of naval traffic. By examining the high number of manteis from northwest Greece (Acarnania, Elis), in spite of the absence of a renowned oracular centre, Nicola rabbit cotton ball dispenser Reggiani's very interesting contribution highlights how mantic specialisation is connected to geographic marginality and linked to the seer's genealogy. Mario Lombardo offers a detailed analysis and a new interpretation of Delphi's imprimatur on colonisation, using the concept rabbit cotton ball dispenser of "intentional identity" as well as methods borrowed from oral history. Eduardo Federico examines Minos, Delphi and Cretan identities, showing how, by the use of competing variants, the same myth could be adopted and re-told by different actors‒i.e. Delphi's clergy, Knossos, the Eteocretan cities, the poleis of Magna Graecia‒for differing ends.
Several articles focus on Phocis, Parasopia and Boeotia. Luigi Gallo examines issues pertaining to the history of the koinon of Phocis, focusing in particular on coinage, on the Phokikon and on the war against Thessaly as means to stress the federal state identity. rabbit cotton ball dispenser Angela Kühr examines the myth of the daughters of Thespis and Greek traditions (on Iolaus, worshipped rabbit cotton ball dispenser in Thebes) on the colonisation of Sardinia to highlight the possible interconnections between colonisation in the West and Boeotian identity.

ASA BOYCOTT RESOLUTION IRKS THE FOUNDATIONS OF ZION | Desertpeace
The vote is likely to be seen as an historic milestone in the Palestinian campaign for boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) , particularly in the United States, where university administrations have forcefully opposed student and faculty initiatives of this kind.
One demolition man 3 seashells year ago, the Academic and Community Activism demolition man 3 seashells Caucus of the American Studies Association (ASA) asked the Executive Committee (EC) to consider a resolution to honor the call from Palestinian civil society to support the academic boycott of Israel. The EC forwarded the resolution to the National Council. demolition man 3 seashells Following the deliberative procedures detailed below, the Council unanimously decided to issue a revised demolition man 3 seashells version of the resolution, which we now recommend to members of the ASA. Please follow this link to read the resolution.
The Council voted for an academic boycott of Israeli institutions as an ethical stance, a form of material and symbolic action. It represents demolition man 3 seashells a principle of solidarity with scholars and students demolition man 3 seashells deprived of their academic freedom and an aspiration to enlarge that freedom for all, including Palestinians.
The resolution does not apply to individual Israeli demolition man 3 seashells scholars engaged in ordinary forms of academic exchange, including conference presentations, public lectures at campuses, or collaboration on research and publication. The Council also recognizes that individual members will act according to their convictions on these complex matters.
The ASA is a large organization that represents divergent opinions. Anticipating strong and potentially divided feelings on this question, the Council unanimously decided to ask ASA members to endorse the resolution by a vote.
The resolution is the culmination of a long history of discussion and debate in the ASA. In 2006, in response to Israel demolition man 3 seashells s attacks on Lebanon and Gaza, the ASA International Committee (IC), including a former ASA President, discussed the possibility of endorsing a boycott. In 2009, in the wake of Israel s military assault on Gaza and in response to requests from ASA members, several bodies in the Association again took up the question of a boycott: the IC, the Program Committee for the 2009 convention, demolition man 3 seashells and the Executive Committee, which included the current ASA President. The consensus then was that members needed more opportunities to learn about and discuss the issues demolition man 3 seashells and so the Program Committee organized two featured panels: Palestine in Crisis and Academic Freedom and the Right to Education: The Question of Palestine. Scheduled in prime times on Friday and Saturday of the convention, the panels addressed the plight of Palestinian universities and academics and the profound pressures on teaching and research contexts in the U.S. and Palestine where education and intellectual freedom were under attack. demolition man 3 seashells The second panel focused in particular on the boycott movement.
In the wake of such discussions, the Academic and Community Activism Caucus (ACAC) met at the 2012 ASA convention to consider a resolution and gather signatures. This resolution was then submitted to the Executive Committee and, in December, posted on the Caucus page on the ASA web site. Information about the resolution was also included in the December 2012 ASA Newsletter distributed to all ASA members.
In March of 2013, the Program Committee for the 2013 ASA convention met and discussed ways to create opportunities at the meeting to discuss issues related to calls for boycott. The resulting program included 8 sessions on Middle East American Studies, with four focused specifically on United States/Israel/Palestine. At the same time the Ethnic Studies Committee organized two panels about settler colonialism demolition man 3 seashells that discussed the Israeli occupation of Palestine, while the ACAC organized a panel called Boycott as a Non-Violent Strategy of Collective Dissent.
In May 2013 the Executive Committee met and discussed the proposed resolution demolition man 3 seashells submitted by the ACAC at great length. It agreed that it would be in the best interest of the organization to solicit from the membership as many perspectives as possible on the proposed resolution to aid the National Council in its discussions and decision-making. With the past President and a prominent, senior member of the Association serving as moderators, it held an open session during the November National Convention at which the National Council was present to hear directly from the membership. Members were notified of the open discussion well in advance of the convention and it was highlighted as a featured event in both online and print versions of the program. Additionally, members who could not attend the session or the convention were encouraged to contact the EC directly via email, and many did so.
The Saturday November 23rd open discussion was attended by approximately 745 ASA members. Members distributed information about the boycott in adva

This book is an adapted version of Takashi Fujii's Heidelberg dissertation of 2010. The aim of the Fujii's study is to "examine the imperial cult and other types of imperial representation in Cyprus while it was under Roman rule from the end of the first century BCE to the end of the third century CE," with a particular focus on the epigraphic evidence from the island (11). The book is divided into three parts: "The Emperor in the Wide Spectrum of Representation" (21-91); "Political and Social Settings of the Imperial Cult" (93-123) and "Imperial Cult in the Socio-Political Framework of Cyprus" (125-160). An appendix includes a catalogue of the 90 inscriptions (all related to the imperial starfish wreath cult) quoted starfish wreath throughout the book (161-209). This catalogue starfish wreath is compiled according to the various cities, e.g. Kourion no. 1, Kourion no. 2, etc., and includes Greek and Latin text, Fujii's translation, bibliography and notes on context, date, and provenance.
Preceding the first chapter is a useful map of Roman Cyprus (9) and an introduction to the whole book. The introduction describing the purposes of Fujii's work is interwoven with reflections on earlier scholarship as well as the relevant methodology. Thus, it is somewhat confusing to find the various purposes of the study spread out over this ten-page introduction (11; 12; 17; 19). In the introduction Fujii places his work on the imperial cult in Cyprus in the context of studies written on the imperial cult in others provinces and admits that the choice of Cyprus resulted in part from considerations of scale: the size of the island and the number of inscriptions meant that the topic could be studied in a doctoral thesis (14).
Chapter 1: "Emperors Represented in the Greek Language" (23-36) examines titles assigned to emperors and members of the imperial family in Cypriotic inscriptions. This chapter should be read together with table 1 (210-211). Fujii argues that θεός very often renders the Latin divus and should therefore not be translated with god. According to Fujii, θεός is a technical term dependant upon a consecratio in Rome. (24-25). Fujii, however, admits that we find inscriptions in Cyprus styling Tiberius and Nero θεοί, even though they were never declared divi in Rome. So perhaps θεός in Cyprus comprised a wider semantic field than the Latin divus (30).
With starfish wreath Dion Cassius 51.20 in mind, Fujii states that the koinon would have avoided using θεός for living emperors in the sense of "god" so as not to upset the senate in Rome (31). On an individual level, however, there was no problem in styling Nero or Tiberius θεός during their lifetime, since this would never reach the senate in Rome (Lapethos no. 2 and Salamis no. 8). Fujii's interpretation leads him to translate θεός variously as Divus (Amathous no. 1), divine (Kition no. 1) and god (Keryneia no. 1). Can we really expect that every literate Cypriot knew how to distinguish between these three meanings of θεός when reading an inscription? Fujii concludes this chapter by stating that θεός was a title referring to a specific emperor, whether starfish wreath dead or alive, starfish wreath while σεβαστός was a generic and anonymous title (36).
Chapter 2: "Imperial Statues" (37-56) should be read together with table 2 (212-213). This chapter examines the material evidence for statues of the emperors and their immediate families including eight sculptures (no table, number reconstructed from notes) and 39 inscriptions (table p. 44). To Fujii the problematic distinction between cultic and honorific is a key element in identifying material evidence starfish wreath for imperial cult. The parameters of the analysis include "statue-habits" and the "textual starfish wreath structure" of the inscriptions. starfish wreath The reference supporting "statue-habits" is a seminar held in Oxford (note 13); Fujii might have done better to refer to, e.g., the studies of Jane Fejfer, which are, admittedly elsewhere cited in chapter 2. 1 As stated starfish wreath by the author starfish wreath in the conclusion "the context and implications are not always straightforward", and the data set is very small. Fujii sees the high proportion starfish wreath of Julio-Claudian dedications as a product of the family's close connection to the Paphian Aphrodite. Another possibility is a continuation of well-established Ptolemaic traditions at the sanctuary studied by Anastassiades as referred to by the author himself (38). 2
Chapter 3: "Status of the Emperor in the Civic Landscape" (57-75) examines the presence of the imperial cult in temples, gymnasia and theatres in Cyprus. There were no temples built solely for the cult of the emperor (61), and Fujii argues that the religious landscape underwent minimal change with regards to the imperial cult. The emperors were theoi synnaoi and almost always inferior to the traditional deities, e.g. Apollon Kaisar starfish wreath in the company of Apollon Hylates. (64; 74-75).
Chapter 4: "A Cypriot oath of allegiance to Tiberius" (77-91) examines the imperial oath from Cyprus (Paphos Vetus no. 8) and compares it t

Professor James Wright, who chairs the College’s department of Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology, delivered oral and written testimony at the U.S. Department of State on Monday before a hearing of the Cultural Property Advisory Committee.
Wright, long a champion of the preservation of cultural heritage, 22 shells bulk testified in support of a Memorandum 22 shells bulk of Understanding between the United States and the Hellenic Republic that would impose import restrictions on certain categories of Greek antiquities of archaeological and ethnological significance. 22 shells bulk He appeared before the committee in his capacity as the chair of the Committee on Excavations and Surveys of the American School of Classical Studies in Athens.
“Greece’s rich cultural heritage [is] … in danger of being destroyed by the looting of archaeological sites and by thefts from museums and storerooms,” Wright testified. His testimony 22 shells bulk detailed the depredations of some of the sites excavated under the auspices of the American 22 shells bulk School by remarkably persistent and rapacious thieves.
Wright also recounted his own excavation 22 shells bulk in 2002 of a Late Bronze Age tomb that proved to be empty, having been thoroughly looted by grave robbers. “The destruction of this tomb makes it extremely difficult to understand the history of its use,” he said, “all the more the pity since it certainly belonged with the nearby Mycenaean settlement my team and I excavated.”
Given the high price fetched by Greek antiquities in the United States, Wright said, illicit excavations and trafficking in such items are bound to continue 22 shells bulk unless 22 shells bulk our government acts to stop it. The damage trafficking causes to human understanding of our common cultural heritage justifies restricting the importation of these items, he argued.
The Cultural Property Advisory Committee, established in 1983 by an act of Congress to implement the UNESCO convention dedicated to preventing the loss of cultural heritage through illicit trafficking in cultural 22 shells bulk property, makes recommendations to the U.S. president concerning restriction of imports of items of cultural property.
“Since the act was passed 22 shells bulk by Congress in 1983, the CPAC committee’s recommendations have been a powerful and cumulative force in the protection of the world’s cultural heritage,” Wright noted in an e-mail.
According to Wright, a number of Bryn Mawr-trained archaeologists were present at the hearing. Bryn Mawr Trustee Joan Breton Connelly, Ph.D. 84, is a member of the committee. Patty Gerstenblith 71, who was previously a member of the committee, testified at the hearing, as did Brian Rose, a Haverford graduate of the Class of 1979 who majored in archaeology at Bryn Mawr and is currently a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, deputy 22 shells bulk director 22 shells bulk of Penn’s Museum of Anthropology and Archaeology, and President of the Archaeological Institute of America.

While most remote-controlled flying vehicles in Pennsylvania are being flown by hobbyists — seashell images and a handful by businesses — the state also has taken steps to employ the technology. Some departments are using drones to monitor changes in our environment, while other agencies are using them to watch us.
Named the X-8, the tiny eight-rotor seashell images unmanned aerial system is capable of 20-minute flights, and may mark the state's first foray into the world of drones outside of the Pennsylvania National Guard, which trains three brigades on using 12 drones at Fort Indiantown Gap. The drones cost $15 million, which includes a command station and launcher, said Staff Sgt. Matt Jones, Guard spokesman.
<br> PennDOT's drone isn't monitoring traffic; rather, it is using the tiny UAS to take aerial photos of sinkholes to monitor their growth and size, said Erin Waters-Trasatt, seashell images PennDOT spokeswoman.
Photos seashell images taken by the X-8, which is manufactured by Draganfly Innovations Inc. in Canada, are compared with existing aerial photography or Google Earth images seashell images to monitor changes in sinkhole geology. In the past, the department would use one of the state's fleet of aircraft seashell images for the same purpose.
The X-8 is a highly portable platform that can be assembled in minutes. It doesn't seashell images fly very high or very far — about 200 meters — and can only carry a payload of 35 ounces, seashell images according to Draganfly.
&amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;br&amp;amp;amp;amp;gt; While the use of these devices may make sense for scientific purposes, neither the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources nor the Department of Agriculture have used them.
While it isn't a drone in the unmanned aerial vehicle sense, DEP's Water Planning Office operates another small remotely operated vehicle, a tethered submarine that explores and monitors water conditions in Lake Erie.
“The equipment is also useful for getting more information about lake-bottom sediments, plants and trenches,” Sunday said. “All of this comes as an effort to help us document special areas of Lake Erie that need to be protected.”
“There is the possibility seashell images that our lake-bottom studies have the latent seashell images effect of providing data and locations to local dive shops that would specialize in scuba tours of the shipwrecks,” Sunday said.

This use is being hotly debated in Washington, D.C ., as federal agencies, including Border Patrol , begin to segue military-grade drones from the battlefield to the deserts of Arizona and the Southwest.
