    Caucasus Plant Initiative: a Regional Plant Conservation Strategy

    Caucasus Plant Initiative: A Regional Plant Conservation Strategy Paeonia wittmanniana Editors: Ketevan Batsatsashvili, George E. Schatz, and Tatyana Schulkina Design: Burgund Bassüner 0-00 Developed by The Caucasus Plant Red List Authority Kazbegi, north-eastern Georgia The targets of The Caucasus Plant Initiative (CPI), a regional Plant Conservation Strategy, correspond to the targets of the 00-00 Global Strategy for Plant Conservation. The present document also illustrates the relevance of CPI targets to the targets/actions in the revised and updated Ecoregion Conservation Plan (ECP) for the Caucasus (Zazanashvili et al. 0). Whenever possible, the CPI should be considered together with ECP in plant conservation and sustainable use planning. According to the 0th Meeting of the Conference of Parties of the UN Convention on Bio- logical Diversity (CBD) held in Japan, the member countries are requested to revise their existing National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs) according to the “CBD Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 011-00”. The statements of The Caucasus Plant Initiative are intended to be incorporated into the National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs) of the Caucasus countries. Content Objective I: Plant diversity is well understood, documented and recognized Page 7 CPI Target : An online Flora of all known plants of the Caucasus. CPI Target : Global/regional/national assessment of the conservation status of as many known plant species of the Caucasus as possible, to guide conservation action. CPI Target : Information, research and associated outputs, and methods necessary to implement the Strategy developed and shared throughout the Caucasus. Objective II: Plant diversity is urgently and effectively conserved Page 10 CPI Target : At least 5 percent of each ecological region or vegetation type secured through effective management and/or restoration.

    Fugitive Slave Traffic and the Maritime World of New Bedford A Research Paper prepared for New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park and the Boston Support Office of the National Park Service Prepared by: Kathryn Grover, Historian New Bedford, Massachusetts September 1998 FUGITIVE SLAVE TRAFFIC AND MARITIME NEW BEDFORD / 1 SEPT 1998 / PAGE 1 Fugitive Slave Traffic and the Maritime World of New Bedford Kathryn Grover is an independent writer and editor in American history and has lived in New Bedford since 1992. She is the author of Make a Way Somehow: African American Life in a Northern Community, published by Syracuse University Press in 1994 and winner of that year's John Ben Snow Prize as the best manuscript in New York State history and culture. This research paper is part of a larger work, The Fugitive's Gibraltar: Escaping Slaves and Abolitionism in New Bedford, Massachusetts, to be published by the University of Massachusetts Press in Fall 2000. You may recollect the circumstance that took place a few weeks since, the attempt to capture a slave, who escaped to this place in a vessel from Norfolk, Va., they came at that time very near capturing him. We have just now got information that his owner has offered a high reward for him and that they have actually formed all their plans to take him without any delay. We think it imprudent for him to be here after the boat arrives, and I could not think of any better plan than sending him to Fall River, if you can keep him out of sight for a short time.

    Medicinal Ethnobotany of Wild Plants

    Kazancı et al. Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine (2020) 16:71 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13002-020-00415-y RESEARCH Open Access Medicinal ethnobotany of wild plants: a cross-cultural comparison around Georgia- Turkey border, the Western Lesser Caucasus Ceren Kazancı1* , Soner Oruç2 and Marine Mosulishvili1 Abstract Background: The Mountains of the Western Lesser Caucasus with its rich plant diversity, multicultural and multilingual nature host diverse ethnobotanical knowledge related to medicinal plants. However, cross-cultural medicinal ethnobotany and patterns of plant knowledge have not yet been investigated in the region. Doing so could highlight the salient medicinal plant species and show the variations between communities. This study aimed to determine and discuss the similarities and differences of medicinal ethnobotany among people living in highland pastures on both sides of the Georgia-Turkey border. Methods: During the 2017 and 2018 summer transhumance period, 119 participants (74 in Turkey, 45 in Georgia) were interviewed with semi-structured questions. The data was structured in use-reports (URs) following the ICPC classification. Cultural Importance (CI) Index, informant consensus factor (FIC), shared/separate species-use combinations, as well as literature data were used for comparing medicinal ethnobotany of the communities. Results: One thousand five hundred six UR for 152 native wild plant species were documented. More than half of the species are in common on both sides of the border. Out of 817 species-use combinations, only 9% of the use incidences are shared between communities across the border. Around 66% of these reports had not been previously mentioned specifically in the compared literature.
  • Church – Consolidating the Georgian Regions

    Church – Consolidating the Georgian Regions

    Church – Consolidating the Georgian Regions Metropolitan Ananya Japaridze Saint Ilia the Righteous said from the very establishment of the holy Church of Georgia, that it presented a strong power consolidating the whole population of the state. It was not locked within the narrow ethnic borders but was the belonging of different ethnos residing in the state. According to Holy Writ, it never differentiated Hellenist from Jew, Georgian from non-Georgian, as its flocks were children of Georgia with mutual responsibility to the country and citizenship. Even Saint Nino, founder of the Georgian Church, came from Kapadokia. Saint of Georgian Church, martyr Razhden, and Saint Evstati Mtskheteli were Persian. Famous 12 fathers struggling against fire-worship and Monophysitism were Assyrian (Syrian). Neopyth Urbani Episcope was Arabian. The famous Saint Abo Tbileli came from Arabia too. The Saint Queen Shushanik was Armenian etc. The above list shows that Georgian church unified all citizens of the country in spite of their ethnic origin. At the same time, the Georgian church always used to create a united cultural space. The Georgian Church was consolidating regions and different ethnic groups of Georgia. The Georgian language was the key factor of Georgian Christian culture. Initially, Georgian language and based on it Georgian Christian culture embraced whole Georgia, all its regions. Divine services, all church acts, in mountains and lowlands from the Black Sea to Armenia and Albania were implemented only in Georgian language. Georgian language and Georgian culture dominated all over the Georgian territory. And just this differentiates old Georgia from the present one. It’s evident that the main flocks of Georgian Church were Georgians of West, South and East Georgia.

  • Kinder Des Sturms Buch

    Kinder Des Sturms Buch

    NORA ROBERTS Kinder des Sturms Buch Darcy Gallagher hat ihr Leben lang an die Vorbestimmung ihres Schicksals geglaubt, an die Magie der Legenden – und an die Wichtigkeit des Geldes. Sie träumt von einem wohlhabenden Mann, der sie in die abenteuerliche Welt der Reichen und Schönen entführt. Denn das ist ihre Erfüllung, das weiß sie. Ei- nes Tages taucht Trevor Magee, ein reicher Geschäftsmann irischer Abstam- mung, in Ardmore auf. Er möchte dort in Irland, wo Darcy mit ihren Brü- dern Aidan und Shawn einen Pub führt, ein Theater bauen. Hauptsächlich je- doch möchte er die Geheimnisse seiner Familie ergründen und ist auf der Stel- le fasziniert von der eigenwilligen Darcy. Sie lässt ihn mit ihrer Schönheit und wachen Intelligenz die schmerzliche Vergangenheit vergessen. Zwischen der selbstbewussten Darcy und dem starrsinnigen Trevor entbrennt ein wilder Kampf um eine unmöglich scheinende Partnerschaft ihrer Herzen. Als aber ihre gegenseitige Anziehung zu Liebe wird, geschieht etwas Magisches, etwas völlig Unvorhergesehenes … Autorin Nora Roberts schrieb vor rund zwanzig Jahren ihren ersten Roman und hoff- te inständig, veröffentlicht zu werden. Heute, so hat man hochgerechnet, wird weltweit alle fünf Minuten rund um die Uhr ein Buch von ihr verkauft! Da- mit avanciert sie zu einer der meistverkauften Autorinnen der Welt. Unter dem Namen J. D. Robb schreibt sie mit ebenso großem Erfolg auch Krimi- nalromane. Kinder des Sturms ist der dritte Roman in Nora Roberts’ großer irischer Sturm-Trilogie.
