The HIV Rev response element forms a complex with the Crm1 protein that localizes to this structure. A group of proteins that form the Y-complex on this structure have consecutive repeats of phenylalanine-glycine. The Ran GTPase shuttles molecules with an NES through this structure with the help of exportin and importin. A common progeria is caused by a defect in the class V intermediate filaments on the interior of this structure, which are called (*) lamins. This structure has small holes called ​ porins and completely dissolves during prometaphase so that the chromosomes can bind to spindle fibers. This double membrane is continuous with the endoplasmic reticulum. For 10 points, name this envelope that surrounds the cell's genetic material. ANSWER: nuclear membrane [or nuclear envelope; or nuclear lamina; or NE; prompt on nucleus or word ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ forms] <Silverman> 2. This man's work was corrected by Erasmus Reinhold, the first person to make tables based on his theories. Some of his ideas were first communicated in the Narratio Prima by his student, Georges ​ ​ Joachim Rheticus. Thomas Digges translated this man's principle text, which outlines a system that did not rely on the equants, deferents, and eccentrics that had dominated his field since the publication of the (*) Almagest. Andreas Osiander claimed this man's ideas were just a mathematical model to avoid scrutiny from ​ ​ ​ the church. In his 1543 On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres he outlined a system of purely circular ​ ​ motion, an idea corrected by Johannes Kepler. For 10 points, name this Polish astronomer who argued for heliocentrism. ANSWER: Nicolaus Copernicus [or Mikolaj Kopernik] <Bentley> ​ ​ ​ ​ 3. A classic textbook titled for this phenomenon is abbreviated MTW for its three authors. In one theory of this phenomenon, integrating the square of Hamiltonian constraints over induced metrics creates a master constraint. Milgrom proposed a theory in which this phenomenon has a force proportional to the square of acceleration. Feynman (FINE-min) hypothesized using beads on a rod to measure the radiation ​ ​ ​ caused by this phenomenon, which today is measured using (*) interferometers with four-mile arms. LQG ​ and MOND ("mond") are theories of this phenomenon. According to the equivalence principle, this phenomenon ​ ​ is indistinguishable from being in a noninertial reference frame. Another theory equates it with spacetime curvature. For 10 points, name this fundamental force described by general relativity. ANSWER: gravity [or gravitation; or gravitational force; or gravitational radiation; or gravity waves; or ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ gravitational waves] <Silverman> ​ PACE NSC 2017 - Round 17 - Page of 13 4. This letter appears after the hyphen in the name of a constructed language that Kenneth Pike devised to teach the "art of translation." In the 1980s, a theory named for this letter was extended by government and binding theory. In the IPA, this letter represents a voiceless velar fricative. Noam Chomsky argued that all languages share the same underlying binary-branching structure, in which intermediate nodes of a phrase are symbolized by an apostrophe or a line over a letter; that theory is named for (*) "bar" and ​ this letter. This letter is followed by "h-o-s-a" in the name of a prominent click language spoken in South Africa. In Pinyin, this letter represents the "sh" sound in words such as Xinjiang (sheen-jyong). It derives from ​ ​ the Greek letter chi (kye). For 10 points, name this twenty-fourth letter of the English alphabet. ​ ​ ANSWER: X [accept Kalaba-X or X-bar theory] <Jose> ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 5. Swedish royals were once taken on a "vice tour" of one of these places by "Mayor" Chuck Connors. These places were terrorized by "highbinder" assassins. Some people ended up stranded in these places because the Pacific Mail required certification from the Six Companies that debts had been paid before people could board a ship. The architecture in one of these places was deliberately (*) exoticized after a ​ scheme to move it away from the city center following a 1906 earthquake. Benevolent organizations in these places helped their mostly male inhabitants put up the 75 dollars necessary to start a laundromat. Tong gangs held power in these neighborhoods, the largest of which was in San Francisco. For 10 points, name these ethnic neighborhoods, often decorated with dragons. ANSWER: Chinatowns <Bentley> ​ ​ 6. Mabel Dodge ran a salon in this state described as a "garden of Allah". Spiritual landscapes such as Earth Rhythms No. 6 were made by Transcendental Painting Group member Raymond Jonson in this ​ state. One artist made abstract paintings at the "Black Place" in this state, and painted a pink-heavy landscape called Red and Yellow Cliffs near this state's Ghost Ranch. An artist summering in this state ​ ​ mailed back to New York a collection of (*) bones to create a "Great American Painting". Joseph Henry ​ Sharp, who painted many Native Americans in this state, founded a society of artists that popularized its art colony at Taos (touse). For 10 points, name this state where many paintings of cow skulls in desert landscapes ​ ​ were made by Georgia O'Keeffe. ANSWER: New Mexico <Bentley> ​ ​ 7. On Crete, Karmanor served as the consort of this deity. Two different stories describe this deity turning either Abas or Ascalabus into a lizard for mocking her eager drinking. She turned the Scythian king Lyncus into a lynx as punishment for attempting to kill a son of King Celeus. This goddess, the older of the two deities celebrated at the Thesmophoria, accidentally consumed the (*) shoulder of Pelops. After ​ Metanira interrupted a ritual she was carrying out, she opted not to provide immortality to Demophon and instead taught her own skills to Triptolemus. Eleusis was a cult center for this goddess, who supposedly caused winter by spending months grieving for her lost daughter. For 10 points, name this Greek goddess of the harvest, the mother of Persephone. ANSWER: Demeter [or Ceres] <Carson> ​ ​ ​ ​ PACE NSC 2017 - Round 17 - Page of 13 8. This poet described beating an aged beggar's head against the wall, then getting four of his teeth knocked out by that beggar. This author described a "passionate spectator" for whom "the crowd is his element." This poet of "Let's Beat up the Poor!" lamented "the shape of a city changes… quickly, alas!" in a poem about urban renovations titled "The Swan." This author's description of the flaneur in "The ​ ​ Painter of (*) Modern Life" drew on "The Man of the Crowd" by Poe, whom he popularized in Europe with his ​ translations. This poet described the "exquisite monster" of Ennui in a poem addressed to "my likeness, my brother," the reader. The sections "Wine, Death, and Revolt" and "Spleen and Ideal" appear in his masterpiece. For 10 points, name this Parisian poet of Les Fleurs du Mal. ​ ​ ANSWER: Charles Pierre Baudelaire <Brownstein> ​ ​ 9. A character is improbably described as doing this activity while "shouldering thirty battle-dresses," which he does to escape after his uncle is killed. A character describes how he engaged in this activity for seven nights in the "perishing cold," during which he battled and killed nine monsters. In a flyting scene, Unferth notes that the protagonist was defeated in this sort of contest by his childhood friend (*) Breca. ​ The protagonist uses this mode of traveling to reach the cave of a creature whom he decapitates with a sword made for giants. That hag, whose lair is only accessible by this mode of travel, had a son who terrorized Hrothgar's hall. For 10 points, Beowulf excels at what mode of travel, which he uses to reach the home of Grendel's mother in a lake? ANSWER: swimming [or diving; accept word forms of either answer] <Brownstein> ​ ​ ​ ​ 10. Topics like "Opposites," "Cases," and "More and Less and Likewise" appear in one tract on this subject. William of Ockham laid out his nominalism in his Summa of this subject. The square of ​ ​ opposition is based on a treatise of this subject called On Interpretation, which uses a sea battle to ​ ​ illustrate the problem of future contingents. A tree that represents the definition of species in terms of genera and differentia appears in a textbook on this subject, Porphyry's Isagoge, which is based on a ​ ​ prior philosopher's (*) Categories. Peter Abelard's work on this subject was inspired by the rediscovery of the ​ ​ ​ Prior Analytics from Aristotle's Organon, which expounded on non-modal syllogism. For 10 points, name this ​ ​ ​ field of philosophy concerned with deductive reasoning. ANSWER: logic <Kothari> ​ ​ 11. Two modern-day countries required in your answer. A war which resulted in the independence of one of these countries from the other began with an attack on El Conde Gate and involved members of La Trinitaria. A ruler of one of these countries, Faustin I, repeatedly tried to reverse the independence of the other secured by Juan Pablo Duarte. According to legend, many citizens of one of these countries were murdered by troops from the other when they were unable to (*) say the word perejil (peh-reh-HEEL) in the ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Parsley Massacre. Towns such as Azua in one of these countries were raided by a general from the other, Jean-Jacques Dessalines (dess-ah-LEEN), during a successful slave rebellion in the early 19th century.

  • Fuentes Grecolatinas Y
    UNIVEESmAD COMPLUTENSE DE MADRID Facultad de Filología Upto. de Filología Latina EL MITO DE PROSÉRPIMA: FUENTES GRECOLATINAS Y PERVIVENCIA EN LA LITERATURA ESPANOLA. DIRECTOR: Dr. Vicente Cristóbal López REALIZADA POR: M. Dolores Castro Jiménez ANO: 1991. A mi madre a Manuel a Julio INTRODUCClON Cuando comenzamos las investigaciones sobre el mito de Prosérpina y sus, entonces posibles, recreaciones en la lite- ratura española, intentábamos acercarnos a una historia, una narración mítica cre, sin lugar a dudas y como hemos podido comprobar, habría sido utilizada como elemento narrativo, dramático o poético en nuestra literatura. La elección de este tema nos iba a permitir, centrándonos en las fuentes latinas, remontarnos a sus predecesores griegos y proyectarnos hacia la literatura española. Los elementos a analizar eran, por tanto, fundamentalmente las fuentes latinas, como más accesibles para nuestros autores y las obras que a nuestro mito hicieran referencia desde los origenes medievales de la literatura española hasta la actualidad. No olvidábamos en absoluto aquellos otros textos que, sin ser obra de autores latinos, podían constituirse en intermediarios entre las distintas narraciones clásicas” sobre nuestro mito y los textos españoles que 2 pretendíamos presentar. Bajo este planteamiento, era lógico que el prisma de análisis inicial, el método de acercamiento al tema en un primer momento, se centrara única y exclusivamente en los conceptos más clásicos y tradicionales de la literatura comparada tal y como los enumera René Wellek: “La letteratura comparata si é aggrappata alíe “relazioni reali’, fonti ed influenze, scrittori ““intermedian” e reputazioni” (1). Indudablemente, no es la función de nuesta investigación ir mucho más allá, pero el propio desarrollo de la misma nos ha llevado a introducir una serie de elementos que, por otro lado, no han sido extraños ni a la literatura comparada ni a los estudios de tradición clásica.

Persephone was shortly after reunited with her mother. However, Demeter was furious when she heard about the pomegranate seeds. Zeus then proposed a compromise: for every seed Persephone had eaten, she would spend a month with Hades. Thus, Persephone would travel to the Underworld every six months during which time Demeter would mourn and the earth with her. But after six months, Persephone would return to her and Demeter would be happy again and the earth would blossom once again! Cecrops, the first king of Attica, had named his city after him, Cecropia. However, the gods of Olympus saw this lovely piece of land and wanted to name it after them and become its patron. The most persistent rivals were Poseidon, the god of the sea, and Athena, the goddess of wisdom. To solve their dispute, Zeus decided that each of them would present a gift to the city and the people of Cecropia would decide which gift was the best, and therefore which god would be the patron of the city. One sunny day, Cecrops and the residents of the city went up to a high hill to watch the gods presenting their gifts. Poseidon was the first to present his gift. He struck a rock with his trident and caused a spring of water to gush forth from the ground.

    THE ELEUSINIAN MYSTERIES & RITES DUDLEY WRIGHT THE ELEUSINIAN MYSTERIES AND RITES THE ELEUSINIAN MYSTERIES ^ RITES BY DUDLEY WRIGHT INTRODUCTION BY THE REV. J. FORT NEWTON, D.Litt., D.D. Past Grand Chaplain of the Grand Lodge of lowa^ U.S.tA. THE THEOSOPHICAL PUBLISHING HOUSE I UPPER WOBURN PLACE LONDON, W.C.I "THE SQUARE & COMPASS," 4, 412, Beach Court, Denver, Colo. U.S.A. n CO 5 U ^ PREFACE AT one time the Mysteries of the various nations were the only vehicle of religion throughout the world, and it is not impossible that the very name of religion might have become obsolete but for the support of the periodical celebrations which preserved all the forms and ceremonials, rites and practices of sacred worship. With regard to the connection, supposed or real, between Freemasonry and the Mysteries, it is a remarkable coincidence that there is scarcely a single ceremony in the former that has not its corresponding rite in one or other of the Ancient Mysteries. The question as to which is the original is an important one to the student. The Masonic antiquarian maintains that Freemasonry is not a scion snatched with a violent hand from the Mysteries—whether Pythagorean, Hermetic, Samothracian, Eleusinian, Drusian, Druidical, or the Uke—but is the original institution, from which all the Mysteries were derived. 8 ELEUSINIAN MYSTERIES AND RITES In the opinion of the renowned Dr. George Ohver : *' There is ample testimony to estabhsh the fact that the Mysteries of all nations were originally the same, and diversified only by the accidental circumstances of local situation and pohtical economy." The original foundation of the Mysteries has, however, never been established.

  • Greek Mythology
    Greek mythology focus on the Trojan War and its aftermath. Two poems by Homer's near contemporary Hesiod, the Theogony and the Works and Days, contain accounts of the genesis of the world, the succession of divine rulers, the succession of human ages, the origin of human woes, and the ori- gin of sacrificial practices. Myths are also preserved in the Homeric Hymns, in fragments of epic poems of the Epic Cycle, in lyric poems, in the works of the tragedians of the fifth century BC, in writings of scholars and poets of the Hellenistic Age, and in texts from the time of the Roman Empire by writers such as Plutarch and Pausanias. Archaeological findings provide a principal source of detail about Greek mythology, with gods and heroes featured prominently in the decoration of many arti- facts. Geometric designs on pottery of the eighth cen- tury BC depict scenes from the Trojan cycle as well as the adventures of Heracles. In the succeeding Archaic, Classical, and Hellenistic periods, Homeric and various other mythological scenes appear, supplementing the ex- isting literary evidence.[2] Greek mythology has had an extensive influence on the culture, arts, and literature of Western civilization and remains part of Western heritage and language. Poets and artists from ancient times to the present have derived inspiration from Greek mythology and have discovered contemporary significance and rele- vance in the themes.[3] Bust of Zeus, Otricoli (Sala Rotonda, Museo Pio-Clementino, Vatican). 1 Sources Greek mythology is the body of myths and teachings that Greek mythology is known today primarily from Greek belong to the ancient Greeks, concerning their gods and literature and representations on visual media dating from heroes, the nature of the world, and the origins and signif- the Geometric period from c.

  • Homeric Inn to Demeter” Modernity: Motherhood Constellation and Adolescent Separation-Individuation1 by Pasquale Scarnera*
    Symmetric Logic and “Homeric inn to Demeter” modernity: motherhood constellation and adolescent separation-individuation1 by Pasquale Scarnera* Introduction The ancient religiosity was codified by myths. E. Vandiver (2000) has combined the theoretical approaches of the field to an operative definition of the myth: … traditional stories a society tells itself that encode or represent the world-view, beliefs, principles, and often fears of that society. As such, myths offer insight into what a specific culture thinks about the nature of the world in general and about key questions, such as: the nature and function of the gods; humans’ relationships to the gods; what it mean to be human; the two sexes’ relationship to one another (p. 15). Myths, being cultural productions representing a model of the society and for the society as well, were expressly modified by poets, philosophers (Radcliffe, 2004) or itinerant priests (Torjussen, 2008). The constancy and adjustment in time and space were typical of the Greek religiosity and were partially induced by the lack of central organizations, sacred texts or doctrines to regulate religious affairs, thus, unlike Christianity it included the act of choosing in the religious field (Larson, 2007). Furthermore, the Greek polytheist paradigm was enclosing, namely welcoming and tolerating various divinities; on the contrary, the monotheist paradigm, which is excluding, cannot welcome divinities different from the worshipped one. Thus, the knowledge of the creation and transmission of cultural production can help us better understand the resilience of ancient religiosity. Ontology of knowledge and religious mental representations The contemporary scientific knowledge is based on the distinction between the knowing subject and the known object.

HOLLIS ATTICA IN HELLENISTIC POETRY aus: Zeitschrift für Papyrologie und Epigraphik 93 (1992) 1–15 © Dr. Rudolf Habelt GmbH, Bonn 1 ATTICA IN HELLENISTIC POETRY Perhaps the main reason for the continuing vitality and attraction of studies in the affairs of Attica, whether they centre on local history, topography, cult and myth, social and political organization or everyday life, is the discovery of inscriptions which gradually increase our knowledge, however problematic their interpretation may be. Turning to the literary sources, in the valuable book by David Whitehead, The Demes of Attica 508/7 - ca. 250 B.C.,1 we find them classified under five headings: Comedy, Tragedy, History, Oratory and Political Thought.2 Of these, Oratory is described as 'indisputably the richest of the genres' in both quantity and quality, though Whitehead devotes most space (a whole chapter) to 'The Deme in Comedy'. Since he even pays some attention to lexicographers such as Harpocration, Hesychius and Stephanus of Byzantium, the total absence of Hellenistic poets (apart from Comedians) is surprising: Callimachus does not figure even in the account of the cult of Hecale in her own deme (pp. 210-211), although Callimachus' famous epyllion is our only witness for the annual banquet with which Hecale was honoured.3 Other scholars likewise fail to quote Hellenistic poets when their evidence could be useful. Why this neglect? Of course the style of the learned poets tends to be difficult and obscure; most of their poems are preserved only in tantalizing fragments, of which the text and context can be upset by new papyrus discoveries.
