Sorochan Byzantine Spices as a Daily Byzantine Cuisine Part picery, preservatives and seasonings were widely used in the daily cuisine of Byzantine Empire, succeeded the traditions of ancient Greece and Rome. They were in the list of the main components of the diet of a Middle Byzantium. But due to change of territorial boundaries, contact with new peoples and development of intercon- tinental trade service the assortment of Roman τὰ ἀρώματα (τὸ ἄρωμα — aromatic herb, spice), and the forms of their use have been rather changed. Therefore, it is necessary to clarify the range of this goods, direction and terminal points of its import-export trade movements, to find out the issue on professional specialization of trade in spicery, which were ap- preciated and really valuable. At that the spices popularity had not been decreased as they were in the same demand as the preservatives for their special ability to inhibit bacteria (bactericidal action), mainly putrefaction bacteria, and so to promote continued preservation of food. Byzantine historiography of the issue is rather narrow. Usually the researches study spe- cies in the context of Byzantine Empire’s cuisine or perfumery (Ph. Koukoules, M. Grünbart, J. Koder, A. Dalby and especially I. Anagnostakis), or less — Roman trade (J. Irmscher, A. Laiou, N. Oikonomides, С. Morrisson). The works of M. Montanari relate more to me- dieval Italy and Western Europe culinary tradition, but also contain some references to Byz- antium in context of trade relationship [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. There are studies of this kind applied to the history of ancient Greece and Rome such as works of J.

  • Byzantine Gastronomy
    Byzantine Gastronomy Byzantine cuisine synthesized dishes from ancient Greece and the Roman Empire with new ingredients and many innovations. The Empress Theodora ( ca. A.D. 500 – 548) invited cooks from different parts of mainland Greece and the islands to cook for her. As the capital of a powerful and rich empire, Constantinople, a bustling city of as many as 1,000,000 inhabitants at its height during the Macedonian dynasty of the late 9th-early 11th centuries, was the center of the domestic and foreign trade of Byzantium. Grain, wine, salt, meat, cheese, vegetables and fruits flowed from the provinces into its markets. The capital was also the centre of luxury trade: exotic spices and lavish foods (such as black caviar) were popular imports for the wealthy land owners, the officials of the State and Church and the rich members of the new middle class, the “mesoi”, who could afford them. Beans were a common source of protein for the peasants, the poor and the monks during fasting. The variety of vegetables, fruits and condiments-black pepper, honey, olive oil, vinegar, salt, mushrooms, celery, leeks, lettuce, chicory, spinach, turnips, eggplant, cabbage, white beets, almonds, pomegranates, nuts, apples, lentils, raisins etc. which were listed as food of the poor by Ptohoprodromos (Poems-1150), mirrors both the interest in good eating and the availability of healthy ingredients regardless of economic class. Tomato and potato were not part of the Byzantine diet, as they were introduced to the area many years later. Bread played a very important role in the Byzantine diet, so much so that the guild of bakers of Constantinople and their animals were never used by the state in order that bread baking could not be interrupted (Book of the Eparch, 911-912).

  • Fossil Fuel Insurrectionists
    Fossil Fuel Insurrectionists Since 2016, 65 Fossil Fuel Corporate PACS Contributed $8.8M to Members of Congress Who Denied Democracy and Supported Trump’s Push to Overturn the Election By Alan Zibel January 27, 2021 With President Joe Biden now in office, much of corporate America is trying to distance itself from the extremism, disdain for science and reactionary climate change denialism of the Trump era. Business groups including the National Association of Manufacturers denounced the January 6 invasion of the U.S. Capitol by former president Donald Trump’s supporters aiming to overturn the election. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and even the American Petroleum Institute endorsed President Biden’s decision to rejoin the Paris Agreement on climate change, even as the oil industry gears up to fight Biden’s plan to halt drilling on public lands and eliminate wasteful fossil fuel tax breaks. At the same time, corporations and their executives should not be excused for their longstanding support of Trump and the GOP agenda of fossil fuel exploitation and climate denialism. Oil companies bankrolled lawmakers who tried unsuccessfully to disenfranchise Americans’ votes, but that is only a symptom of the broader disease. During the Trump era, corporation after corporation stood silently seeking tax breaks and regulatory favors while Trump undermined the norms of American society and political system. Fossil fuel companies and their executives were some of the closest Trump allies as they stood to gain immensely from Trump administration favors. As such, they contributed generously to pro-Trump groups and congressional Republicans. A Public Citizen analysis of Federal Election Commission campaign finance data found that: • Sixty-five fossil fuel company political action committees have contributed $8.8 million [Table 3] over the past three election cycles to 132 [Table 4] out of 147 members of Congress who voted to challenge the electoral college outcome.

Lichadonisia is one of the few volcanic island groups of Greece, consisting mainly of lava flows. Today the islands are uninhabited with high numbers of visitors, but permanent population existed for many decades in the past. Herein, we present for the first time the land snail fauna of the islets and we compare their species richness with islands of similar size across the Aegean Sea. This group of small islands, provides a typical example on how human activities in the current geological era, i.e., the Anthropocene, alter the natural communities and differentiate biogeographical patterns.

In 1966, he was elected as a Delegate to the Constitutional Convention and chaired the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Constitutional Issues. That same year, Senator Marchi was named Chairman of the New York State Joint Legislative Committee on Interstate Cooperation, the oldest joint legislative committee in the Legislature. Other senior state government leadership positions followed, and this focus on state government relations and the City of New York permeated Senator Marchi’s career for the next few decades.

  • From Assimilation to Kalomoira: Satellite Television and Its Place in New York City’S Greek Community
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Directory of Open Access Journals © 2011, Global Media Journal -- Canadian Edition Volume 4, Issue 1, pp. 163-178 ISSN: 1918-5901 (English) -- ISSN: 1918-591X (Français) From Assimilation to Kalomoira: Satellite Television and its Place in New York City’s Greek Community Michael Nevradakis University of Texas at Austin, United States Abstract: This paper examines the role that imported satellite television programming from Greece has played in the maintenance and rejuvenation of Greek cultural identity and language use within the Greek-American community of New York City—the largest and most significant in the United States. Four main concepts guide this paper, based on prior theoretical research established in the field of Diaspora studies: authenticity, assertive hybridity, cultural capital, and imagined communities. Satellite television broadcasts from Greece have targeted the audience of the Hellenic Diaspora as an extension of the homeland, and as a result, are viewed as more “authentic” than Diaspora-based broadcasts. Assertive hybridity is exemplified through satellite programming such as reality shows and the emergence of transnational pop stars such as Kalomoira, who was born and raised in New York but attained celebrity status in Greece as the result of her participation on the Greek reality show Fame Story. Finally, satellite television broadcasts from Greece have fostered the formation of a transnational imagined community, linked by the shared viewing of Greek satellite programming and the simultaneous consumption of Greek pop culture and acquisition of cultural capital. All of the above concepts are evident in the emergence of a Greek “café culture” and “sports culture”, mediated by satellite television and visible in the community’s public spaces.
