I later learned that the Greek word meteora translates to “suspended in the air,” and that’s exactly how I felt as I stood before nature’s grandeur and the unfathomable feats of mankind. For centuries, monks and nuns have found quiet solitude within these monasteries that are seemingly built into the sandstone cliffs. You’ll also get an intimate view into two of these historic sanctuaries alongside a local guide. Could there be any place more distinct in Europe than Albania? You’ll see for yourself when you get a firsthand look into the lives of locals living in the small Albanian village of Dhoksat. First, you’ll interact with the villagers and help them with their daily tasks before sharing a Home-Hosted Lunch with a local family.

  • Drinking Culture in the Thai-Isaan Context of Northeast Thailand
    DRINKING CULTURE IN THAI-ISAAN CONTEXT DRINKING CULTURE IN THE THAI-ISAAN CONTEXT OF NORTHEAST THAILAND Jirawat Moolasart1 and Siriporn Chirawatkul2 1Department of Psychiatry, Sappasitthiprasong Hospital, Ubon Ratchathani; 2Faculty of Nursing, Khon Kaen University, Khon Kaen, Thailand Abstract. Ethnographic research aimed to explore drinking context, drinking be- haviors, and perception of lay people about their drinking and drinking-related behaviors in Thai-Isaan context. The study was conducted in a suburban village in the northeast of Thailand during 2008. Participant observation and informal interview were employed for data collection throughout the year. Findings of the study revealed that alcoholic beverages and drinking were woven into everyday life and integrated into various social events and traditional rites as part of social life. Alcohol consumption was permitted overtly with positive attitudes toward drinking and a low level of restriction. Enjoyment and social functions of drinking were recognized by direct experience in real life. Conversely, problem drinking and overt intoxication with loss of self-control or lack of responsibility were not expected or acceptable. Drinking was rarely perceived as a social distress. From an insiders’ view, their drinking was less correlated to alcohol abuse or alcohol- related social problems. In the context of a permissive drinking culture, the ex- isting alcohol regulation measures may be neither supported nor conformed as expected. An alcohol policy that aims to reduce the overall volume of consump- tion or to indicate the negative consequences may dispute local perceptions and norms. The challenge for public health within this culture is how to persuade the drinkers to realize such negative potential and how to raise societal awareness of negative consequences.

The analytical data obtained were subjected to Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Hierarchical Cluster Analysis (HCA). ANOVA results showed that diethyl succinate, methanol, propanol and isoamyl alcohol presented different significance at 95%. The PCA and HCA treatment led to a discrimination of the two groups of grape marc spirits based upon the chemical differences found between their distillates. Although both distillates were obtained from the same raw material, the chemical description of each distillate allowed the traceability of their geographic identity PRACTICAL APPLICATION presence or not of the stem; but it is only the peeling with must incorporated in it that provide almost all compounds which, by Chromatography analysis followed by Chemometric tools distillation, characterize the distillate.

By Dorian Q Fuller and Cristina Castillo Institute of Archaeology, University College London Abstract While rice is one of the world’s most important and productive staple foods, it is highly diversified in uses and varieties, including East and Southeast Asian sticky (or glutinous) forms. While stickiness to some degree can be achieved by cooking methods, true sticky (or waxy) rice is the result of a genetic mutation that causes a loss of amylose starch in favour of high amylopectin content. These mutations are unknown in wild populations but have become important only amongst cultivars in East and Southeast Asia, but not in other rice growing regions, such as South Asia or West Africa. In addition, other cereals (mainly millets, but also maize, barley and in recent times wheat) have evolved parallel mutations that confer stickiness when cooked and high amylopectin content within the same region of East Asia.

  • Korn Edward Oral History 2019
    NATIONAL HEART, LUNG, AND BLOOD INSTITUTE ORAL HISTORY PROJECT INTERVIEW WITH Edward D. Korn JANUARY 15, 2019 HISTORY ASSOCIATES INCORPORATED 300 N. STONESTREET AVENUE ROCKVILLE, MARYLAND 20850 Telephone: (301) 279-9697 Fax: (301) 279-9224 www.historyassociates.com Edward D. Korn Biographical Statement Dr. Edward Korn was born in 1928 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree in chemistry (1949) and a PhD in biochemistry (1954) from the University of Pennsylvania. As a graduate student he was awarded fellowships by the University of Pennsylvania and the Damon Runyon Foundation. He began his career at NIH in 1953, when he joined the new intramural research program of the National Heart Institute, now the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute, working in Building 3. The NHI staff included Chris Anfinsen, Bob Berliner, Earl and Terry Stadtman, Jack Orloff, Martha Vaughan, to name a few, with James Watt as Director and James Shannon as Scientific Director. Of this original group, eleven have been elected to the National Academy of Sciences, two became Nobel laureates, and three became NIH directors. It was out of this creative, heady atmosphere that Dr. Korn began his research, first in the lab of Chris Anfinsen working on the hydrolysis of lipoproteins. Then moving on to his own work and lab, he has continued at the NHLBI for sixty-five years. Since his groundbreaking discovery of the first unconventional non-filamentous myosin, myosin I, in the single- cell soil protozoan Acanthamoeba castellanii, Dr. Korn’s research has focused on the function and regulation of the actomyosin system.
