Alexander the Great's Tombolos at Tyre and Alexandria, Eastern Mediterranean ⁎ N

Paradoxically, despite a long history of inquiry into spit and barrier formation, understanding of the dynamics and sedimentary history of tombolos over the Holocene timescale is poor. At Tyre and Alexandria we demonstrate that these rare coastal features are the heritage of a long history of natural morphodynamic forcing and human impacts. In 332 BC, following a protracted seven-month siege of the city, Alexander the Great's engineers cleverly exploited a shallow sublittoral sand bank to seize the island fortress; Tyre's causeway served as a prototype for Alexandria's Heptastadium built a few months later. We report stratigraphic and geomorphological data from the two sand spits, proposing a chronostratigraphic model of tombolo evolution. © 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

A Comparison Between Organic and Conventional Olive Farming in Messenia, Greece
horticulturae Article A Comparison between Organic and Conventional Olive Farming in Messenia, Greece Håkan Berg 1,*, Giorgos Maneas 1,2 and Amanda Salguero Engström 1 1 Department of Physical Geography, Stockholm University, 106 91 Stockholm, Sweden; [email protected] (G.M.); [email protected] (A.S.E.) 2 Navarino Environmental Observatory, Navarino dunes, Costa Navarino, 24 001 Messinia, Greece * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +46-702559069 Received: 15 May 2018; Accepted: 4 July 2018; Published: 9 July 2018 Abstract: Olive farming is one of the most important occupations in Messenia, Greece. The region is considered the largest olive producer in the country and it is recognized as a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) for Kalamata olive oil, which is considered extra fine. In response to the declining trend of organic olive farming in Greece, this study assesses to what extent organic olive farming in Messenia provides a financially and environmentally competitive alternative to conventional olive farming. In this study, 39 olive farmers (23 conventional and 16 organic) participated in interviews based on questionnaires. The results showed that organic olive farming is significantly more profitable than conventional farming, primarily because of a higher price for organic olive oil. Despite this, the majority of the conventional farmers perceived a low profit from organic farming as the main constraint to organic olive farming. All farmers agreed that organic olive farming contributed to a better environment, health and quality of olive oil. Organic farmers used fewer synthetic pesticides and fertilizers and applied more environmentally-friendly ground vegetation management techniques than conventional farmers. -
Draft Informational Report Chabot Gun Club and Facility Operations at Anthony Chabot Marksmanship Range Revised October 28, 2015
Draft Informational Report Chabot Gun Club and Facility Operations at Anthony Chabot Marksmanship Range Revised October 28, 2015 I. Introduction The Board of Directors (“Board”) has requested information relating to facility operations at the Anthony Chabot Marksmanship Range (“Chabot Gun Range” or “gun range”), including estimated capital and operation and maintenance costs required for continued operation of the gun range. As discussed below, District staff has gathered information regarding environmental compliance, facility conditions and deferred maintenance, sound impacts and mitigation options, and information related to use, revenue, and operational costs of the gun range. II. CEQA Compliance No action by the Board is being requested at this time, and therefore no action is necessary to comply with CEQA for purposes of this Board item. However, a decision by the Board to consider entry into a long term extension of the Chabot Gun Club’s lease would first require environmental review under CEQA, most likely the preparation of an environmental impact report (EIR). III. History of the Chabot Gun Range In 1963, the Anthony Chabot Marksmanship Range was developed in cooperation with the Oakland Pistol Club, which had previously leased a site in Knowland Park, Oakland, California. The original 1962 lease was a partnership between the District and the Oakland Pistol Club to construct, develop, operate and maintain a marksmanship range in Anthony Chabot Regional Park. In 1964, the original lease was amended to finalize the schedule and define the cost-share for construction of the Chabot Gun Range. In 1967, the District entered into a new long-term lease with Chabot Gun Club, Inc. -

The 2010 Elections for the Greek Regional Authorities
The 2010 Elections for the Greek Regional Authorities Andreadis I., Chadjipadelis Th. Department of Political Sciences, Aristotle University Thessaloniki Greece Paper for the 61st Political Studies Association Annual Conference "Transforming Politics: New Synergies" 19 - 21 April 2011 London, UK Panel:: “GPSG Panel 3 – Contemporary Challenges: Greece Beyond the Crisis” Draft paper. Please do not quote without the authors' permission. Comments welcome at: [email protected] or [email protected] Copyright PSA 2011 Abstract Τhe recently enacted Greek Law for the new architecture of local and decentralized administration with the code name "Kallikrates" has introduced a number of significant changes for both primary and secondary level institutions of local administration. For instance, the new law includes provisions for the election of Regional Governors by the citizens for the first time in modern Greece. Also, Kallikrates brings back the rule requiring more than 50% of all valid votes for the successful election of a candidate to the public office. Finally, the local elections are held in the middle of the economic crisis. In this article we present a multifaceted analysis of the results of the 2010 Greek regional elections. Some aspects of the analysis are based on evidence obtained by comparing the votes for the regional council candidates with the votes of the 2009 parliamentary elections for the political parties that support these candidates. Further analysis is based on data obtained by voter positions on a series of issues and the analysis of the criteria used by Greek voters for selecting Regional Governors. The article concludes with discussion on how the economic crisis might have affected the voting behaviour of Greek citizens and implications for interested parties. -

Bearing Razors and Swords: Paracomedy in Euripides’ Orestes

In this article, I trace a nuanced interchange between Euripides’ Helen, Aristophanes’ Thesmophoriazusae, and Euripides’ Orestes that contains a previ- ously overlooked example of Aristophanic paratragedy and Euripides’ paracomic response. I argue that the escape plot from Helen, in which Menelaus and Helen flee with “sword-bearing” men ξιφηφόρος( ), was co-opted in Thesmophoriazusae, when Aristophanes staged Euripides escaping with a man described as “being a razor-bearer” (ξυροφορέω). Furthermore, I suggest that Euripides re-appropriates this parody by escalating the quantity of sword-bearing men in Orestes, suggest- ing a dynamic poetic rivalry between Aristophanes and Euripides. Additionally, I delineate a methodology for evaluating instances of paracomedy. PARATRAGEDY, COMEDY’S AppROPRIATION OF LINES, SCENES, AND DRAMATURGY FROM TRAGEDY, constitutes a source of the genre’s authority (Foley 1988; Platter 2007), a source of the genre’s identity as a literary underdog in comparison to tragedy (Rosen 2005), and a source of its humor either through subverting or ridiculing tragedy (Silk 1993; Robson 2009, 108–13) or through audience detection and identification of quotations (Wright 2012, 145–50).1 The converse relationship between 1 Rau 1967 marks the beginning of serious investigation into paratragedy by analyz- ing numerous comic scenes that are modeled on tragic ones and providing a database, with hundreds of examples, of tragic lines that Aristophanes parodies.
