PC26) was approved by the Council of Europe and European Youth Foundation in the framework of actions B. The partners of this project are organizations from Azerbaijan, Greece, Italy, Malta, Romania, Slovakia, Spain and Turkey. The game has been designed in order to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the COE Youth Department. It can be an innovative education tool for teachers and learners since it allows them to understand the meaning of being a COE citizen in a funny and interesting way. Number of players: 6. If you are more you can play in teams. Equipment: the game board, 1 dice, 6 pieces of different colours, 6 categories of cards. You also need some sheets of paper and a pen in order to carry out some of the challenges. How to play: Before starting to play, place the different categories of cards on the six squares on the two sides of the spiral. Each player chooses a different colour of playing piece. All the players throw the dice, and the highest roll determines who plays first. Turns move clockwise. The game board pattern is a spiral of 70 fields, from the outside to the inside. Some fields have special hazards or benefits for players who land on them. Start with all players’ pieces in the space START. Take turns rolling the dice and moving. On each turn, a player rolls the dice and advances on the board along the spiral. The player must deal with any situation on the space landed on, be they hazards or benefits. All the fields have different colours which are related to the categories of the cards. When a player lands on a field he has to answer to a question linked to that subject. For example, if you land on a yellow field, you have to answer to a question about facts, figures, economy and trade of COE countries. If the player answers correctly he can throw the dice again and go on until he gives a wrong answer. The aim of the game is to travel along the spiral from field 1 to field 70, and the first player who overtakes the last field is the winner. Hazard & benefits: On the board you could land on a blue field: it can be a hazard or a benefit, it depends on how lucky you are! - Jump to coffee break – If you land on this field, advance immediately to field Coffee break and stand still for one turn. 3 - Go forward 4 spaces – If you step on this field you move on of 4 spaces. - Jump ahead – If you land on this field you jump directly to the field shown by the arrow. - Go back 3 spaces – You get lost and go back 3 spaces. - Stand still for 2 turns – If you land on this field you lose 2 turns. The cards: You will find 6 different categories of cards: - Green: Art, music, culture, food and humour of the COE nations - Yellow: COE countries: facts, figures, economy and trade - Sky-blue: Values of Active European Citizenship - Magenta: Human Rights and Empowerment - Orange: COE’s history - Red: Challenges The challenges: If you land on a red field you have to pick up a challenge card. The challenges are about COE countries: flags, anthems, capitals, local dishes, dances, traditional garments and so on. For some challenges (e.g. draw the Coliseum) it’s up to the other players to decide if you pass the challenge or not. 4 QUESTIONS & CHALLENGES COE’S HISTORY 1.

  • The Ionian Islands in British Official Discourses; 1815-1864
    1 Constructing Ionian Identities: The Ionian Islands in British Official Discourses; 1815-1864 Maria Paschalidi Department of History University College London A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to University College London 2009 2 I, Maria Paschalidi, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 3 Abstract Utilising material such as colonial correspondence, private papers, parliamentary debates and the press, this thesis examines how the Ionian Islands were defined by British politicians and how this influenced various forms of rule in the Islands between 1815 and 1864. It explores the articulation of particular forms of colonial subjectivities for the Ionian people by colonial governors and officials. This is set in the context of political reforms that occurred in Britain and the Empire during the first half of the nineteenth-century, especially in the white settler colonies, such as Canada and Australia. It reveals how British understandings of Ionian peoples led to complex negotiations of otherness, informing the development of varieties of colonial rule. Britain suggested a variety of forms of government for the Ionians ranging from authoritarian (during the governorships of T. Maitland, H. Douglas, H. Ward, J. Young, H. Storks) to representative (under Lord Nugent, and Lord Seaton), to responsible government (under W. Gladstone’s tenure in office). All these attempted solutions (over fifty years) failed to make the Ionian Islands governable for Britain. The Ionian Protectorate was a failed colonial experiment in Europe, highlighting the difficulties of governing white, Christian Europeans within a colonial framework.

  • Ottoman History of South-East Europe by Markus Koller
    Ottoman History of South-East Europe by Markus Koller The era of Ottoman Rule, which began in the fourteenth century, is among the most controversial chapters of South-East European history. Over several stages of conquest, some of them several decades long, large parts of South-Eastern Europe were incorporated into the Ottoman Empire, or brought under its dominion. While the Ottomans had to surrender the territories north of the Danube and the Sava after the Peace Treaty of 1699, the decline of Ot- toman domination began only in the nineteenth century. Structures of imperial power which had been implemented in varying forms and intensity in different regions were replaced by emerging nation states in the nineteenth century. The development of national identities which accompanied this transformation was greatly determined by the new states distancing themselves from Ottoman rule, and consequently the image of "Turkish rule" has been a mainly negative one until the present. However, latest historical research has shown an increasingly differentiated image of this era of South-East European history. TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. Military and Political Developments 2.

These no-cook soups are a perfect way to keep yourself and your kitchen cool, while serving tasty meals, and getting in all your daily fruit and vegetable servings.* Gazpacho You’ll think immediately of Gazpacho, the traditional tomato-based Spanish classic. Gazpacho couldn’t be simpler – it’s like making liquid salsa. Start with 2 pounds fresh field-ripened tomatoes (now available at Dick’s stand), and add 1 large peeled cucumber, a sweet green pepper, one onion (the new white onions now in season are perfect), a clove or two of garlic, and a small jalapeno pepper (flesh only until you see how hot it is; add white part and seeds if you’re feeling adventurous). Chop everything roughly, then pulse in a blender or food processor until it’s the consistency you like, pour into a serving bowl, and add tomato juice or V-8 to make it a soup consistency (If you puree all the veggies, you may not need the juice).

Copyright © 2011 Conner Middelmann-Whitney Zest for Life 2 Introduction Ten years ago I had a close brush with cancer. Diagnosed with cancerous lesions of the cervix, I decided to adopt a healthier lifestyle to support my medical treatment. However, I struggled to find reliable information and practical guidance to help me make the necessary changes. There is more information available now than a decade ago but much of it is confusing and not based on solid medical science. Moreover, while many cancer- prevention books issue theoretical dietary recommendations, few provide guidance on practical ways of applying these in our busy day-to-day lives. This is why I decided to write this book. My first aim is to help you rediscover the guilt-free pleasure of eating healthy, delicious food.

  • The Ionian Islands and the Advent of the Greek State (1827-1833)
    W. DA VID W RIG LEY THE IONIAN ISLANDS AND THE ADVENT OF THE GREEK STATE (1827-1833) The diplomatic reactions of the British to the traditional crises of the Near East, such as the various Ottoman wars and Balkan insurrections, were often based upon the experiences of three centuries of Near Eastern trade. As long as Anglo-Ottoman trade remained unaffected, the British were not con­ cerned with any modifications in the status quo of the Near East. Therefore, with the initiation of the Greek Revolution in 1821, the traditional diplomat­ ic attitudes of the British prevailed. Unfortunately, the circumstances of Britain’s presence in the Near East had changed radically over the past three centuries. Since the acquisition of the Ionian Islands in 1815, the British were actually stationed as a naval power in the Near East. In light of Britain’s pres­ ence in the Ionian Islands and the successful results of the Greek Revolu­ tion, such traditional attitudes were difficult to maintain. In fact, since Britain was directly responsible for the emergence of the modern Greek state, such attitudes were completely hypocritical. With this situation, the British were forced to adopt new attitudes in their Near Eastern diplomacy. These new diplomatic attitudes were not just simply a matter of Anglo-Ionian-Hellenic relations. Instead, the element of early Russophobia complicated Britain’s diplomatic policies in the Near East. As a result, the British became rather suspicious of the political and diplomatic policies of the new Greek state. Thus, the British safe-guarded their position in the Ionian Islands against all external threats1.
