RMS AMI Days 6-10 (March 30Th- April 3Rd) Information RMS AMI Days 6-10 (March 30th- April 3rd) Information Turn in Process ● You can turn the work into your teacher through Google Classroom, email, or other means that your teacher has communicated with you. You can take pictures or scan your documents to email them to your teacher. ● If you can’t turn in your work digitally, you can bring it to the school from 8-3:30pm (each Monday is preferable) or you can mail it to the school at Russellville Middle School, 1203 West 4th Place, Russellville, AR 72801. Phone: 479-968-2557 What If You Need Help ● Email your teacher. ● Communicate with your teacher through Google Classroom if they have it set up. ● Some teachers are communicating through Remind or other apps. ● Call the school if you don’t have access to the internet or email and we will relay a message for your teacher to call you. Phone: 479-968-2557 Grading ● Don’t worry about grades at this time. Just stay engaged in the assignments to learn from them, get creative, and have fun. Assignment Instructions for days 6-10 (March 30-April 3) ● All Instructions are on the assignments. Make sure you read the instructions because some of them give you options. ● If you are 7th grade Pre-AP Math please make sure you do the Pre-AP Math instead of the regular 7th grade Math assignment. Starting on April 6th (AMI Day 11) ● We are changing our process so parents and students will have one point of contact instead of 7. Picture what an elementary looks like with each teacher only having up to 25 students, that is similar to the structure we will change to. ● Each middle school student will get the same packet. They will no longer be grade specific. ● The packets will combine subjects under topics. There will be a reduced workload for students. ● Each teacher will have approximately 15-20 students so they will be able to give students more individual attention. Each student should be contacted by their teacher through email or phone call at least once a week. If you have not heard from your teacher within a week please call the school at 479-968-2557 and we will contact the teacher. ● THIS CHANGE WILL START ON APRIL 6TH.

They’re defined more by shape than their genes By Tina Hesman Saey January 23, 2020 at 8:17 pm/Updated February 25, 2020 at 11:30 pm Coronaviruses have been making people cough and sneeze for eons. They are among the many viruses that cause the common cold. But not all are so mild-mannered. A few severe types can lead to serious illness and deaths. Coronaviruses get their name from their shape. These round viruses are surrounded by a halo of spiky proteins. That makes them look a bit like a crown or the corona of the sun. In fact, being termed a coronavirus “is less about the genetics and more about the way it appears under a microscope,” explains Brent C. Satterfield. He is a founder and the chief scientific officer of Co-Diagnostics. It’s a company based in Salt Lake City, Utah, and in Gujarat, India. It is developing new tests to diagnose coronavirus infections. The genetic makeup of these viruses is composed of RNA. RNA is a single-stranded chemical cousin of DNA. Genetically, coronaviruses can be quite different from one another. Some types have more differences between them than humans have from elephants, Satterfield notes. Four major types of these viruses exist. They’re known by the Greek letters alpha, beta, delta and gamma. Only the alpha and beta types are known to infect people. These viruses spread through the air. And just four of them (known as 229E, NL63, OC43 and HKU1) cause between one and three in every 10 cases of the common cold. Coronavirus illnesses tend to be fairly mild and affect just the upper airways (nose and throat). But there are more severe cousins that can cause lethal disease. The scary coronaviruses Two of the most well-known of the deadly types are responsible for SARS and MERS. Each of these diseases has caused global outbreaks in the past. In December 2019, another virus joined these dangerous cousins. Scientists are calling it SARS-CoV-2. The name reflects this germ’s close similarity to the original SARS coronavirus. On February 11, the World Health Organization started calling the disease this new virus triggers COVID-19. That stands for coronavirus disease in 2019 These coronaviruses cause severe infections by first latching onto proteins that sit on the outside of lung cells. Those attachments help the viruses penetrate far more deeply into the airways than their cold-causing kin, notes Anthony Fauci. He directs the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. It’s in Bethesda, Md. He points out that COVID- 19 is “a disease that causes more lung disease than sniffles.” The ability to damage the lungs can make these coronaviruses especially serious. In 2003 and 2004, SARS sickened 8,096 people in 26 countries. It also killed nearly one in every 10 of them. MERS is more deadly. It kills nearly three in every 10 of its victims. MERS outbreaks are still simmering, Fauci says. Since 2012, this disease has sickened at least 2,494 people in 27 countries and killed 858 of them. That virus can spread from person to person. Most famously, in 2015, 186 people got MERS after just one businessman unknowingly brought the virus to South Korea. From him, it spread to others. One “superspreader” in that nation caught MERS from the businessman. This one man then passed the virus to another 82 people. Those people happened to be near him in just the two days that he was in a hospital emergency room.

  • Calendar of Roman Events
    Introduction Steve Worboys and I began this calendar in 1980 or 1981 when we discovered that the exact dates of many events survive from Roman antiquity, the most famous being the ides of March murder of Caesar. Flipping through a few books on Roman history revealed a handful of dates, and we believed that to fill every day of the year would certainly be impossible. From 1981 until 1989 I kept the calendar, adding dates as I ran across them. In 1989 I typed the list into the computer and we began again to plunder books and journals for dates, this time recording sources. Since then I have worked and reworked the Calendar, revising old entries and adding many, many more. The Roman Calendar The calendar was reformed twice, once by Caesar in 46 BC and later by Augustus in 8 BC. Each of these reforms is described in A. K. Michels’ book The Calendar of the Roman Republic. In an ordinary pre-Julian year, the number of days in each month was as follows: 29 January 31 May 29 September 28 February 29 June 31 October 31 March 31 Quintilis (July) 29 November 29 April 29 Sextilis (August) 29 December. The Romans did not number the days of the months consecutively. They reckoned backwards from three fixed points: The kalends, the nones, and the ides. The kalends is the first day of the month. For months with 31 days the nones fall on the 7th and the ides the 15th. For other months the nones fall on the 5th and the ides on the 13th.

  • Nominalia of the Bulgarian Rulers an Essay by Ilia Curto Pelle
    Nominalia of the Bulgarian rulers An essay by Ilia Curto Pelle Bulgaria is a country with a rich history, spanning over a millennium and a half. However, most Bulgarians are unaware of their origins. To be honest, the quantity of information involved can be overwhelming, but once someone becomes invested in it, he or she can witness a tale of the rise and fall, steppe khans and Christian emperors, saints and murderers of the three Bulgarian Empires. As delving deep in the history of Bulgaria would take volumes upon volumes of work, in this essay I have tried simply to create a list of all Bulgarian rulers we know about by using different sources. So, let’s get to it. Despite there being many theories for the origin of the Bulgars, the only one that can show a historical document supporting it is the Hunnic one. This document is the Nominalia of the Bulgarian khans, dating back to the 8th or 9th century, which mentions Avitohol/Attila the Hun as the first Bulgarian khan. However, it is not clear when the Bulgars first joined the Hunnic Empire. It is for this reason that all the Hunnic rulers we know about will also be included in this list as khans of the Bulgars. The rulers of the Bulgars and Bulgaria carry the titles of khan, knyaz, emir, elteber, president, and tsar. This list recognizes as rulers those people, who were either crowned as any of the above, were declared as such by the people, despite not having an official coronation, or had any possession of historical Bulgarian lands (in modern day Bulgaria, southern Romania, Serbia, Albania, Macedonia, and northern Greece), while being of royal descent or a part of the royal family.

The name (cognomen) Timachus was noted for the first time on this monument. It was developed from the ethnonime Timachi, or the hydronime Timachus, known from the historical resources of the Roman period. Timacum Maius and Timacum Minus, the fortifications and settlements in Upper Moesia, were named after the river Timachus (modern Timok), as was, probably, the whole region of the Basin of Timok. The votive altar of Jupiter Paternus was in secondary use as a construction material in the reconstruction of the horreum in the last phase of life in Timacim Minus, in the first half of 5th century A.D. The analysis of the archaeological context of the votive and funeral monuments from Ravna, used as spolia, have distinguished the three periods of their use from the last third of the 3rd century to the middle of the 5th century A.D. Key words. – Timacum Minus, Ravna, Eastern Serbia, votive altar, Iuppiter Paternus, Timachus, legio VII Claudia, Moesia Superior, Timok.

Therefore, I give my deepest thanks and love to my mother, without whose warnings my eyesight would have no doubt deteriorated irrevocably due to extensive periods of reading and writing; to my sister, who always knew how to cheer me up when I felt most distressed; to my father, who did not refrain his support even though there are thousands of km between us and to Rita, whose memory still continues to live in my heart. As this thesis was written in Ankara (Ancyra) between August-November 2016, I also must offer my gratitudes to this once Roman city, for its idyllic park “Seğmenler” and its trees and birds offered their much needed comfort when I struggled with making sense of fragmentary late antique chronicles and for it also houses the British Institute at Ankara, of which invaluable library helped me find some books that I was unable to find anywhere else in Ankara. I also thank all members of www.romanarmytalk.com, as I have learned much from their discussions and Gabe Moss from Ancient World Mapping Center for giving me permission to use two beautifully drawn maps in my work.

  • Byzantine Diplomacy and the Huns
    У Ж 327(495.02:369.1) ” Byzantine Diplomacy and the Huns G ab riela SIMONOVA Ss. Cyril and Methodius University, Faculty of Philosophy Skopje, Macedonia The term “Byzantine diplomacy” basically defines the principles, methods, mechanisms and techniques that were used by~the Byzantine Em­ pire in negotiations with other countries, i.e. tribes, and in the promotion of the interests of its foreign policy. Understanding diplomacy as a war driven by other principally peace­ ful means is a notion characteristic to the Byzantines. For them, “peace bought with tributes” in each case was cheaper than any war. Therefore, the security of the Empire largely depended not only on its military capabilities, but also on its diplomatic activities. Because of the increased dangers imposed by the barbarian world1, and generated by the Great Migration of Peoples, weapons alone were not 1 1 The term “barbarian” and the word itself comes from the Greek language. In the classical era, the ancient Greeks using this word indicated a person who spo­ ke a language unknown or incomprehensible to them, who neither thought Greek nor behaved Greek. Byzantium also used this term in that cultural context. In the eyes of the Byzantines, the barbarians were those tribes and peoples who lived in an educational darkness, beyond the borders of the empire and who, by their culture, religion and lifestyle, did not belong to the Universe (oecumene). In the narrow sense the Barbarian was a pagan who was not directly a subject to Emperor’s laws or, indirectly through member­ ship of the Byzantine commonwealth, to the Emperor’s power.

    Evidence for the Hun Invasion of Thrace in A.D. 422 Croke, Brian Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies; Winter 1977; 18, 4; Periodicals Archive Online pg. 347 Evidence for the Hun Invasion of Thrace in A.D. 422 Brian Croke HE HISTORY of the Hun invasions of the Danubian and Balkan Tprovinces of the Roman empire is still not as clear as one would like. We are better informed about the major and most destructive raids of 441, 442 and 447, but even here universal agree­ ment has never been achieved. Still, it was the severe impact of these large-scale and effective incursions in the 440's that overshadowed and blotted out the memory of previous, less destructive ones. It is known, for example, that the Huns broke into Thrace and caused havoc in 422, but little has ever been said about it. The latest discussion of the invasion concludes thus: "Nowhere in the history of the Huns is the one-sidedness of our sources more manifest. Hun bands skirmished with Roman soldiers almost at the gates of Constantinople. Yet no word about it appears in the detailed ecclesiastical histories, no allusion in the vast theological literature of the time."l This statement is not entirely correct. There is far more evidence for the Hun in­ vasion of Thrace than has been realised, and it is time these pieces of evidence were fitted together to elucidate the course and con­ sequence of the invasion. I. Theodoret and Priscus The only dated record of this Hun incursion into Thrace is found in the chronicle of an Illyrian, Marcellinus comes, written in Constanti­ nople shortly after the death of Anastasius (518).

  • Contos De Uma Insurreição. a Batalha Do Rio Nedao E a Revolta Fictícia Dos Povos Germanos
    Brathair 15 (2), 2015 ISSN 1519-9053 Contos de uma insurreição. A Batalha do Rio Nedao e a Revolta Fictícia dos Povos Germanos Otávio Luiz Viera Pinto Doutorando - University of Leeds [email protected] Enviado em: 20/01/2016 Aceito em: 22/03/2016 Resumo: O objetivo deste artigo é o de explorar e questionar o relato acerca da insurreição dos povos germanos contra os hunos, na chamada Batalha do Rio Nedao (segunda metade do século V). O testemunho desta batalha, presente em Jordanes, representa o fim da submissão de vários grupos germanos e nômades e da opressão desmedida dos filhos de Átila, Elaco, Hernaco e Dengizico. De acordo com Jordanes, após a morte do famoso rei huno, seus filhos passaram a tratar os povos vassalos como escravos, o que levou o rei gépida, Ardarico, a fomentar uma revolta que levou à morte de Elaco e ao fim da hegemonia huna nos Balcãs. Acreditamos que esta batalha é uma invenção retórica de Jordanes: único autor a mencionar este fato, Jordanes desejava criar uma explicação historiográfica para demarcar o fim da real autoridade dos hunos e, ao mesmo tempo, elucidar o caos político e social dos Balcãs durante o final do século V e boa parte do século VI. Palavras-chave: Hunos; Jordanes; Nedao. Abstract The aim of this paper is to explore and call into question the account of the insurrection of a number of Germanic tribes against the Huns, in the so called Battle of Nedao River (second half of the fifth century).
