OBSIDIAN: an INTERDISCIPLINARY Bffiliography
OBSIDIAN: AN INTERDISCIPLINARY BffiLIOGRAPHY Craig E. Skinner Kim J. Tremaine International Association for Obsidian Studies Occasional Paper No. 1 1993 \ \ Obsidian: An Interdisciplinary Bibliography by Craig E. Skinner Kim J. Tremaine • 1993 by Craig Skinner and Kim Tremaine International Association for Obsidian Studies Department of Anthropology San Jose State University San Jose, CA 95192-0113 International Association for Obsidian Studies Occasional Paper No. 1 1993 Magmas cooled to freezing temperature and crystallized to a solid have to lose heat of crystallization. A glass, since it never crystallizes to form a solid, never changes phase and never has to lose heat of crystallization. Obsidian, supercooled below the crystallization point, remained a liquid. Glasses form when some physical property of a lava restricts ion mobility enough to prevent them from binding together into an ordered crystalline pattern. Aa the viscosity ofthe lava increases, fewer particles arrive at positions of order until no particle arrangement occurs before solidification. In a glaas, the ions must remain randomly arranged; therefore, a magma forming a glass must be extremely viscous yet fluid enough to reach the surface. 1he modem rational explanation for obsidian petrogenesis (Bakken, 1977:88) Some people called a time at the flat named Tok'. They were going to hunt deer. They set snares on the runway at Blood Gap. Adder bad real obsidian. The others made their arrows out of just anything. They did not know about obsidian. When deer were caught in snares, Adder shot and ran as fast as he could to the deer, pulled out the obsidian and hid it in his quiver. -
History Society Trip to Prague and Vienna, 2018
History Society trip to Prague and Vienna, 2018 As one of the Trip Officers for the Edinburgh University History Society, Student Ambassador Carmen was responsible for organising a trip to Budapest and Vienna for 40 society members during Innovative Learning Week. While we were only away for 5 days, it felt like ages because we did so much in both cities! – Carmen Day 1: Monday, 19th of February Our flight to Budapest was extremely early – but this meant we got there really early too, giving us plenty of time to get our bearings! While the sky was blue, it was freezing cold as we walked around streets on the Pest side of the city, taking in the amazing views of Liberty Square & Parliament Square. After giving everyone a few hours to have dinner (and a nap after a long day of travelling!), we met up again to see the iconic Hungarian Parliament building light up at night. Here, we were able to get a big group photo, before running off to take some night shots of the stunning view over the River Danube! Day 2: Tuesday, 20th of February On our second day, we walked along the Széchenyi Chain Bridge (covered in snow!) to go across the Danube to Buda Castle. Using our trusty Budapest Cards, we were able to get a free Castle bus that took us outside the building – a lifesaver considering it was a very uphill walk! Some of our group were lucky enough to see the changing of the guard at the Sándor Palace, the residence of the Hungarian President. -

Corfu Greece
CORFU GREECE orfu Island, an area ap proximately 18 Cmiles wide and 36 miles long, is the sec- ond largest of the Ionian Islands and, with 150,000 inhabitants, it is the most densely populated. Situated in the north Ionian Sea, it is both the most north erly and most westerly point of Greece. The greenest of the Greek Is- lands with lush vegetation, it is considered by many to be one of the most beautiful. Over four million olive trees grow on the slopes of the semi-mountainous terrain, and olive oil exportation is one of the Island’s largest indus- tries. Figs, citrus fruits and wine are also pro- HISTORY duced on the Island, which is an international In the 8th century B.C. Corfu became a Corinthian colony.

Vienna Guide
April 22—24, 2015, Vienna, Austria Hotel Park Royal Palace Vienna Guide SIGHTSEEING Vienna is old, Vienna is new… and the sights are so varied: from the magnificent Baroque buildings to “golden” Art Nouveau to the latest architecture. And over 100 museums beckon… ALBERTINA The Albertina has the largest and most valuable graphical collection in the world, including works such as Dürer’s “Hare” and Klimt‘s studies of women. Its latest exhibition presents masterpieces of the Modern era, spanning from Monet to Picasso and Baselitz. As the largest Hapsburg residential palace, the Albertina dominates the southern tip of the Imperial Palace on one of the last remaining fortress walls in Vienna. ANKER CLOCK This clock (built 1911–14) was created by the painter and sculptor Franz von Matsch and is a typical Art Nouveau design. It forms a bridge between the two parts of the Anker Insurance Company building. In the course of 12 hours, 12 historical figures (or pairs of figures) move across the bridge. Every day at noon, the figures parade, each accompanied by music from its era. AUGARTEN PORCELAIN MANUFacTORY Founded in 1718, the Vienna Porcelain Manufactory is the second-oldest in Europe. Now as then, porcelain continues to be made and painted by hand. Each piece is thus unique. A tour of the manufactory in the former imperial pleasure palace at Augarten gives visitors an idea of how much love for detail goes into the making of each individual piece. The designs of Augarten have been created in cooperation with notable artists since the manufactory was established. -

In Focus: Corfu, Greece
OCTOBER 2019 IN FOCUS: CORFU, GREECE Manos Tavladorakis Analyst Pavlos Papadimitriou, MRICS Director www.hvs.com HVS ATHENS | 17 Posidonos Ave. 5th Floor, 17455 Alimos, Athens, GREECE Introduction The region of the Ionian Islands consists of the islands in the Ionian Sea on the western coast of Greece. Since they have long been subject to influences from Western Europe, the Ionian Islands form a separate historic and cultural unit than that of continental Greece. The region is divided administratively into four prefectures (Corfu, Lefkada, Kefallinia and Zakinthos) and comprises the islands of Kerkira (Corfu), Zakinthos, Cephalonia (Kefallinia), Lefkada, Ithaca (Ithaki), Paxi, and a number of smaller islands. The Ionian Islands are the sunniest part of Greece, but the southerly winds bring abundant rainfall. The region is noted for its natural beauty, its long history, and cultural tradition. It is also well placed geographically, since it is close to both mainland Greece and Western Europe and thus forms a convenient stepping-stone, particularly for passenger traffic between Greece and the West. These factors have favored the continuous development of tourism, which has become the most dynamic branch of the region’s economy. Island of Corfu CORFU MAP Corfu is located in the northwest part of Greece, with a size of 593 km2 and a costline, which spans for 217 km, is the largest of the Ionian Islands. The principal city of the island and seat of the municipality is also named Corfu, after the island’s name, with a population of 32,000 (2011 census) inhabitants. Currently, according to real estate agents, foreign nationals who permanently reside on Corfu are estimated at 18,000 individuals. -
The Bavarian Wittelsbacher's Affection for Greece Has Been a Tradition
he Bavarian Wittelsbacher’s affection for Greece has been a tradition since the first half of the 19th century. A member of the Bavarian royal family was chosen, because of its outspoken interest in Hellenic culture, to become the future king of Greece. When Empress Elisabeth of Austria visited Corfu for the first time in 1865, her cousin, King Otto the First, was struggling Tto maintain his Greek Kingdom, of which Corfu was not a part at the time. She was thus able to experience the conditions during the British protectorate as a guest of the British Lord High Commissioner. In the years to come, after the return of the Ionian Islands to Greece in 1965, it became the Empress’s new home. Her constant longing for travelling and self-discovery built a strong affiliation to the country for its antique history and fascinating Greek mythology. The Austrian consul and philhellene, Baron Warsberg became Empress Elisabeth’s manager and right hand, transforming the green island of Corfu and the village of Gastouri into the centre for the realisation of the Empress’s dreams. The simple Villa Vrailla, hidden amongst ancient olive trees and the sweet floral smells coupled with the salty air from the close-by sea, transformed and affected the lumbering Empress Elisabeth’s mood, “quasi as genius loci”, into wonderful positivity. My direct family had large aquarelle paintings of Angelos Giallinas of this down-to-earth villa and its inconspicuously simple interior design. From here, she explored the island on foot, completely apart from the imperial representations and political duties of her homeland.
