The aS trap Of Western Anatolia And The Greeks Abstract This dissertation explores the extent to which Persian policies in the western satrapies originated from the provincial capitals in the Anatolian periphery rather than from the royal centers in the Persian heartland in the fifth ec ntury BC. I begin by establishing that the Persian administrative apparatus was a product of a grand reform initiated by Darius I, which was aimed at producing a more uniform and centralized administrative infrastructure. In the following chapter I show that the provincial administration was embedded with chancellors, scribes, secretaries and military personnel of royal status and that the satrapies were periodically inspected by the Persian King or his loyal agents, which allowed to central authorities to monitory the provinces. In chapter three I delineate the extent of satrapal authority, responsibility and resources, and conclude that the satraps were supplied with considerable resources which enabled to fulfill the duties of their office. After the power dynamic between the Great Persian King and his provincial governors and the nature of the office of satrap has been analyzed, I begin a diachronic scrutiny of Greco-Persian interactions in the fifth century BC.

There is the greater reason for instructing all troops, without exception, in this exercise, as the sling cannot be reckoned any encumbrance, and often is of the greatest service, especially when they are obliged to engage in stony places, to defend a mountain or an eminence, or to repulse an enemy at the attack of a castle or city.

Que ce soit dans sa production, sa création ou sa réception, l’évolution rapide des technologies numériques et l’apparition des nouveaux médias ont contraint l’industrie télévisuelle à changer, parfois contre son gré. C’est le cas de la chaîne généraliste américaine NBC, pour qui cette période de transition a été particulièrement difficile à traverser. Au cœur de ce moment charnière dans l’histoire de la télévision aux États-Unis, la sitcom Community (NBC, 2009- 2014; Yahoo!Screen, 2015) incarne et témoigne bien de différentes transformations amenées par cette convergence entre Internet et la télévision et des conséquences de cette dernière dans l’industrie télévisuelle. L’observation du parcours tumultueux de la comédie de situation ayant débuté sur les ondes de NBC dans le cadre de sa programmation Must-See TV, entre 2009 et 2014, avant de se terminer sur le service par contournement Yahoo! Screen, en 2015, permet de constater que Community est un objet télévisuel qui a constamment cherché à s’adapter à un média en pleine mutation.

  • Modeling Language Evolution and Feature Dynamics in a Realistic Geographic Environment
    Modeling language evolution and feature dynamics in a realistic geographic environment Rhea Kapur Phillip Rogers The Pingry School Department of Linguistics [email protected] The University of California, Santa Barbara [email protected] Abstract Recent, innovative efforts to understand the uneven distribution of languages and linguistic fea- ture values in time and space attest to both the challenge these issues pose and the value in solving them. In this paper, we introduce a model for simulating languages and their features over time in a realistic geographic environment. At its core is a model of language phylogeny and migration whose parameters are chosen to reproduce known language family sizes and geographic disper- sions. This foundation in turn is used to explore the dynamics of linguistic features. Languages are assigned feature values that can change randomly or under the influence of nearby languages according to predetermined probabilities. We assess the effects of these settings on resulting geographic and genealogical patterns using homogeneity measures defined in the literature. The resulting model is both flexible and realistic, and it can be employed to answer a wide range of related questions.1 1 Introduction The distribution of linguistic feature values across time and space is uneven. The overall frequencies of particular feature values can be skewed with some highly frequent and others vanishingly rare, and many feature values have been observed to cluster geographically or within particular language families. Such patterns are most commonly explained in terms of the competing influences of inheritance, diffusion, universal tendencies of language drift, and chance. Understanding these dynamics has long been a goal of linguists, and it has important implications for historical linguistics, areal linguistics, and linguistic ty- pology.

  • PERSONAL STATEMENT Valerie Dean O'loughlin, Ph.D
    Valerie O'Loughlin, Personal Statement, 612015 PERSONAL STATEMENT Valerie Dean O'Loughlin, Ph.D. I initially was hired by !USM-Bloomington as a non-tenure track Assistant Professor of Anatomy, assigned to teach both medical gross human anatomy and undergraduate anatomy. I was promoted to non-tenure associate professor as I developed an extensive track record in anatomy educational research, directed graduate student research, and became a leader in various anatomy and physiology organizations. In 2010, I was hired in a new position at IUSM Bloomington - that of tenure-eligible Associate Professor of Anatomy and Cell Biology. Thus, I now am pursuing both tenure and full professor status with the IU School of Medicine. In the paragraphs below, I summarize my contributions in the areas of teaching, research and service, and discuss how I have become internationally recognized for developing future and current faculty to become teacher-sclto/ars. Please note that while my area of excellence is in teaching, my case illustrates how my teaching, (educational) research and service are all intimately linked. TEACHING-Area of Excellence My area of excellence is teaching for many reasons. I have taught multiple anatomy and health sciences pedagogy classes at the undergraduate, graduate, medical, and postgraduate (professional development) level, and have received consistently excellent teaching evaluations in these courses. I have received many institutional and national awards for teaching excellence. I have been very involved in curriculum development, especially in both the education track in anatomy PhD program, and the integrated curriculum model to be implemented at IUSM in August 2016. My co-authors and I have developed and published two separate and successful internationally-selling textbooks for both undergraduate anatomy and combined undergraduate anatomy& physiology courses.

Well-known archaeological and textual evidence attests to its widespread military usage in Europe, South America and Central America. However, ethnographic and archaeological evidence also suggest that the sling was widely distributed among Native American populations.

  • From Persepolis to Jerusalem: a Reevaluation of Old Persian-Hebrew Contact in the Achaemenid Period
    Vetus Testamentum 65 (�0�5) �5�-�67 Vetus Testamentum brill.com/vt From Persepolis to Jerusalem: A Reevaluation of Old Persian-Hebrew Contact in the Achaemenid Period Aren Wilson-Wright University of Texas at Austin Waggener 14a, 2210 Speedway C3400, Austin, TX 78712 512-417-4606 [email protected] Abstract This paper examines the effects and mechanisms of Old Persian contact on Biblical Hebrew. I first reevaluate the number and distribution of Old Persian loanwords in the Hebrew Bible. Then I demonstrate that there was direct contact between speak- ers of Old Persian and speakers of Hebrew in the Achaemenid period beginning under Artaxerxes I, before proposing the existence of two Old Persian calques in Biblical Hebrew. The distribution of these Old Persian loanwords and calques strengthens the case for distinguishing between Late Biblical Hebrew and Classical Biblical Hebrew on linguistic grounds. With one exception, these features cluster in well-known Late Biblical Hebrew texts. Keywords late Biblical Hebrew – language contact – linguistic dating – Persian period The administration of the Persian Empire (529-333 b.c.e.) was a multilingual affair. Members of the Achaemenid Court centered in Southeastern Iran and * An earlier version of this paper was presented at the Linguistics and Biblical Hebrew session at the 2011 Society of Biblical Literature annual meeting in San Francisco. My thanks go to the members of the audience for their comments and critiques. I would also like to thank Naʾama Pat-El, Noam Mizrahi, Saralyn McKinnon-Crowley, and Yuhan S. D. Vevaina for commenting on an earlier draft of this paper and John Makujina for providing me with a copy of his dis- sertation.
