When we organized the International Symposium on the Aegean Sea in Bodrum last year, we realized that a meeting with broader perspectives can be useful to understand the problems of the seas around Turkey. Facing the Black Sea, Turkish Straits System, Aegean Sea and Mediterranean Sea, Turkey is a real peninsula. All these regional seas, as well as the Caspian Sea, are closely related to Turkey‟s policies, economy, and environmental problems. These are important for peace and development of all riparian countries, not only for Turkey . Each sea has distinct characteristics. The Caspian Sea, actually a lake, is attracting attention as a rich oil bed. The Black Sea is undoubtedly one of the most seriously polluted seas in the world. The Turkish Straits System, connecting the Black Sea and the Mediterranean, is also suffering from various human activities, especially heavy marine traffic. The Aegean Sea disputes are some of the most critical issues between Turkey and Greece. The Mediterranean Sea, under great ecological stress, has the oldest convention for its protection, from which all of us can learn something about governing a regional sea. The aim of this symposium is, first of all, to exchange information between scientists, experts, and decision makers from different countries. Next,we can discuss how we can contribute to the peace, protection and development of the regional seas. Needless to say, international cooperation is needed as water bodies do not recognize borders… As an NGO, we are very happy to serve as a facilitator for this meeting of respected scientists and experts. We hope this symposium can shed some light to new approaches to solve the problems of regional seas. Last but not least, we thank the following organizations for their kind support: Strategic Research Committee, Ataköy Marina, BP Turkey, Chamber of Shipping, and Piramit Advertising. Special thanks are also due to Mr. Sedat Altunay of Ataköy Marina and Dr . Sibel Sezer for their continuous support and to Dr. Ayaka Amaha Öztürk for her help in editoring this volume. Bayram Öztürk Director, TÜDAV v Proc. of the Int. Symposium on the Problems of Regional Seas, 12-14 May 2001, Istanbul-Turkey CASPIAN SEA LEVEL AND ECOLOGICAL PROBLEMS Ramiz MAMEDOV Institute of Geography, Academy of the Science 370143, H. Javid str., 31, Baku, Azerbaijan ABSTRACT At present time two main problems for the Caspian Sea are: level fluctuations and its ecological condition. The peculiarities of fluctuations of the Caspian Sea level during ecological and historical periods are considered and period instrumental overviews. The reasons of level fluctuations are determined, are given long-term forecast, ecological and socio-economical consequences from last rising of the Caspian Sea level are analyzed. Viewing ecological conditions of the Caspian Sea are given classification of the main sources of sea pollution and areas of their transgression. INTRODUCTION The most characteristic feature of the Caspian Sea is periodic fluctuations in its level, which is different from other large lakes of the planet. Depending on the sea level, which at the present time is 27,03 m below of the World Ocean level, area and available volume of the Caspian Sea change. Among multitude problems the main ones are: the fluctuations of the Caspian Sea level and its ecological situation. In the past, unexpected transgressions and regressions of the level had an influence on the fate of the whole ethnos. According to GUMILEV (1980), one of the factors which undermined the power of the ancient Khazar state (which was located in the north-west part of the Caspian Sea coast) was sudden transgression of the Caspian in X B.C., which flooded the great part of pastures in the northern Pre- Caspian region. In the 1950s and 1960s, whenever there was a drop in the level, the slogan ―Caspian should be saved‖ reigned supreme. In 1990 during a rise in the level of water in the sea, protective measures were carried out under the slogan ―We must be saved from the Caspian‖. MATERIALS and METHODS For studying peculiarities and reasons of the sea level fluctuations were used geological, historical and archeological data, and also shooting location Baku measurements post materials. For carrying out long-term forecast on the Caspian Sea level was used special mathematics apparate. Ecological situation of the Caspian Sea, and its coastal zone were determined on the base of authorities materials on the natural protection and author‘s own investigations. RESULTS and DISCUSSION Peculairities of the variability of the Caspian Sea level. On the term cycle the variability of the Caspian Sea level can be classified as: geological and historical periods of variability, yearly and seasonal changeabilities and short-term fluctuations. Geological period. In terms of geographical time, it has been established fairly accurately that the lowest levels were observed in the time immediately prior to the Neo-Caspian, the Pre-Chvalin, the Pre-Khazar and especially in the Pre-Baku epoch (over 500 000 years ago) when the level of the was recorded at an absolute level of +150 m. The times when the level was at its lowest were crucial moments in the evolution of the Caspian Basin, since each rise in level following on: from a period with a low level was characterised by its own specific features. It was established that the scale of fluctuation of the Caspian during the fourth period totalled approximately 300 m, (RICAGOV, 1992; FEDOROV, 1956). It was established that in the Quartanary period of the Caspian Sea through Kuma-Manich Hollow was connected with the Azov and Black Seas. Historical period. Archeological research of the Caspian and region determination of the absolute age of sedimentary deposits in the Caspian by radiocarbon dating, as well as reliable and unambiguous data interpreted from historical sources, have allowed to calculate the level of the Caspian Sea during various centuries of the last 3,000 years (MAMEDOV, 1995). As seen from Fig.1 in historical period the average secular level location was nearly – 27.0 m, that is near present value. The secular its tendention could change from 0.4 m in century (from VI c. b.n.e.

Forty-five gas samples have been collected from natural gas manifestations at the island of Kos—the majority of which are found underwater along the southern coast of the island. On land, two anomalous degassing areas have been recognized. These areas are mainly characterized by the lack of vegetation and after long dry periods by the presence of sulfate salt efflorescence. Carbon dioxide is the prevailing gas species (ranging from 88 to 99%), while minor amounts of N2 (up to 7.5%) and CH4 (up to 2.1%) are also fi present.

  • Martyrology 12 09 19
    Martyrology An Anglican Martyrology - for the British Isles 1 of 160 Martyrology Introduction The base text is the martyrology compiled by Fr. Hugh Feiss, OSB. Copyright © 2008 by the Monastery of the Ascension, Jerome, ID 83338 and available online at the website of the Monastery of Christ in the Desert. The calendars of each of the three Anglican churches of the British isles contain varied group commemorations, I suggest these entries are read only in the province where they are observed and have indicated that by the use of italics and brackets. However, people, particularly in the Church of England, are woefully ignorant of the history of the other Anglican churches of our islands and it would be good if all entries for the islands are used in each province. The Roman dates are also indicated where these vary from Anglican ones but not all those on the Roman Calendar have an entry. The introductions to the saints and celebrations in the Anglican calendars in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales in Exciting Holiness, ed. Brother Tristam SSF, The Canterbury Press, 1997, have been added where a saint did not already appear in the martyrology. These have been adapted to indicate the place and date of death at the beginning, as is traditional at the reading of the martyrology. For the place of death I have generally relied on Wikipedia. For Irish, Welsh and Scottish celebrations not appearing in Exciting Holiness I have used the latest edition of Celebrating the Saints, Canterbury Press, 2004. These entries are generally longer than appear in martyrologies and probably need editing down even more than I have done if they are to be read liturgically.

Stolz, B.A., M.Div. Marquette University, 2010 Isaac of Stella (ca. 1IOO-ca. 1169), an English-born Cistercian and abbot, has been dwarfed by Bernard of Clairvaux and other ofhis twelfth-century Cistercian contemporaries in terms ofliterary output and influence, giving him a reputation as an elusive and marginal figure. Isaac's 55 sermons and two treatises are modest compared to the productivity of other monastic writers and his position as the abbot of an obscure monastery in western France has not helped to raise his visibility among the luminaries of the twelfth century. He is remembered as a mysterious and often tragic figure in the annals ofhistory.

Specifically, this thesis investigates the relationship between Coptic monks and the wider Coptic community. Many Copts view monasticism as a morally exemplary way of life. The monk as one who has forsaken all social ties and lives in the desert is regarded as one who has attained the highest form of virtue. This view results in different levels of engagement with monastic practice and competing voices for what it means to be a Coptic Christian. As will be demonstrated through ethnographic details, there is a gap between the ideals of the Coptic monastic imaginary and the lived reality of negotiating Christian virtue for monks and laity alike. Furthermore, this dissertation unpacks the ways in which Coptic monasticism is (re-)imagined and (re-)produced in North America and how Coptic subjectivity is (re-)negotiated in relation to Egypt and the Mother Church. ii Acknowledgments Becoming exemplary is a process as this dissertation will soon show. Whether one strives to be the best monk, Christian, or anthropologist, there are many along the path who are a part of this process, who challenge, encourage, and patiently watch for the individual to grow and formulate their vocation.
