Early Mycenaean Arkadia: Space and Place(S) of an Inland and Mountainous Region
Early Mycenaean Arkadia: Space and Place(s) of an Inland and Mountainous Region Eleni Salavoura1 Abstract: The concept of space is an abstract and sometimes a conventional term, but places – where people dwell, (inter)act and gain experiences – contribute decisively to the formation of the main characteristics and the identity of its residents. Arkadia, in the heart of the Peloponnese, is a landlocked country with small valleys and basins surrounded by high mountains, which, according to the ancient literature, offered to its inhabitants a hard and laborious life. Its rough terrain made Arkadia always a less attractive area for archaeological investigation. However, due to its position in the centre of the Peloponnese, Arkadia is an inevitable passage for anyone moving along or across the peninsula. The long life of small and medium-sized agrarian communities undoubtedly owes more to their foundation at crossroads connecting the inland with the Peloponnesian coast, than to their potential for economic growth based on the resources of the land. However, sites such as Analipsis, on its east-southeastern borders, the cemetery at Palaiokastro and the ash altar on Mount Lykaion, both in the southwest part of Arkadia, indicate that the area had a Bronze Age past, and raise many new questions. In this paper, I discuss the role of Arkadia in early Mycenaean times based on settlement patterns and excavation data, and I investigate the relation of these inland communities with high-ranking central places. In other words, this is an attempt to set place(s) into space, supporting the idea that the central region of the Peloponnese was a separated, but not isolated part of it, comprising regions that are also diversified among themselves. -
Teaching Lean Manufacturing Principles in a Capstone Course with a Simulation Workshop
Session 2163 Teaching Lean Manufacturing Principles in a Capstone Course with a Simulation Workshop Kenneth W. Stier Department of Technology Illinois State University Mr. John C. Fesler, Mr. Todd Johnson Illinois Manufacturing Extension Center Bradley University/Illinois State University Introduction Traditionally, improvements in manufacturing costs have been achieved by capital investments in new equipment intended to the lower manufactured costs per unit. Often, the new equipment was designed to achieve the lower costs through faster production speeds, more automation, etc. Typical focus was on pieces per minute and often gave inadequate consideration to size of production runs, changeover times and inventory carrying costs. Many times, the new automated, higher speed equipment required lengthy changeovers before a different product could be run, resulting in management believing the most cost-effective practice was long production runs (large batch sizes). In today's manufacturing climate, firms are re-thinking many of the traditional ways of achieving improvements, and exploring new methods. One in particular, lean manufacturing is a practice that is receiving quite a bit of attention today1,2,3,4. Manufacturers have embraced lean manufacturing during the slow down in the economy as one method of remaining profitable5. Having students experience lean manufacturing concepts in the laboratory can have a positive effect on the experiences offered to the students prior to them entering the industrial setting. It is important that faculty provide students with the experiences that develop a strong conceptual framework of how this management practice will benefit the industry in which they work. Many of our students learn best when they are actively engaged in activities that emphasize the concepts that we are trying to teach. -

Sacred Places Europe: 108 Destinations
Reviews from Sacred Places Around the World “… the ruins, mountains, sanctuaries, lost cities, and pilgrimage routes held sacred around the world.” (Book Passage 1/2000) “For each site, Brad Olsen provides historical background, a description of the site and its special features, and directions for getting there.” (Theology Digest Summer, 2000) “(Readers) will thrill to the wonderful history and the vibrations of the world’s sacred healing places.” (East & West 2/2000) “Sites that emanate the energy of sacred spots.” (The Sunday Times 1/2000) “Sacred sites (to) the ruins, sanctuaries, mountains, lost cities, temples, and pilgrimage routes of ancient civilizations.” (San Francisco Chronicle 1/2000) “Many sacred places are now bustling tourist and pilgrimage desti- nations. But no crowd or souvenir shop can stand in the way of a traveler with great intentions and zero expectations.” (Spirituality & Health Summer, 2000) “Unleash your imagination by going on a mystical journey. Brad Olsen gives his take on some of the most amazing and unexplained spots on the globe — including the underwater ruins of Bimini, which seems to point the way to the Lost City of Atlantis. You can choose to take an armchair pilgrimage (the book is a fascinating read) or follow his tips on how to travel to these powerful sites yourself.” (Mode 7/2000) “Should you be inspired to make a pilgrimage of your own, you might want to pick up a copy of Brad Olsen’s guide to the world’s sacred places. Olsen’s marvelous drawings and mysterious maps enhance a package that is as bizarre as it is wonderfully acces- sible. -
Greece: Peloponnese – 5 Nights Remote Mountain Villages of Southern Greece
Telephone: +44 (0) 1722 322 652 Email: [email protected] Greece: Peloponnese – 5 nights Remote mountain villages of Southern Greece https://www.onfootholidays.co.uk/routes/greece-peloponnese/greece-peloponnese-5-nights/ Route Summary At a glance Greece - Peloponnese 5 night option (4 days walking) from Lagadia to Dimitsana, missing the night in Elati. Add extra nights in Vitina, Stemnitsa and Dimitsana to relax and experience the culture of the region. How much walking? Full days: 14-22½ kms per day, 5-8½ hrs walking Using shortening options: 9-16 kms per day, 2½-5 hrs walking using taxi starts Max. Grade: page 1/8 The Menalon Trail, named after the massif that forms the backbone of the Peloponnese (all of mainland Greece south of the Corinth Canal), uses many of the old paths and mule tracks that linked the villages with the fields, pastures and forests of this remote part of the region – it’s about as far from the sea and its undoubted attractions as you can get. With scenic hill walking, and some very pretty and thriving ancient stone villages, it is best used as the core of a longer holiday in the region – perhaps you could take in the sites of Mycenae, Epidaurus, Olympia and many others; hiring a car from the airport will also reduce transfer costs (see “prices”). This is an area visited by Greeks in the winter, while the spring and autumn are the preserve of the hill walkers. Even the summer is possible (though July in particular can be very hot) as much of the walking is in native pine and fir forest, with dappled sunlight enlivening the shade. -

The Internet Connected Production Line: Realising the Ambition of Cloud Manufacturing Chris Turner1 and Jörn Mehnen2 1Surrey Business School, University of Surrey, Guildford, Surrey GU2 7XH, U.K. 2Dept. of Design, Manufacture & Engineering Management, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, G1 1XJ, U.K. Keywords: Cloud Manufacturing, Industry 4.0, Industrial Internet, Cyber Physical Systems, Internet of Things, Cloud Computing, Redistributed Manufacturing. Abstract: This paper outlines a vision for Internet connected production complementary to the Cloud Manufacturing paradigm, reviewing current research and putting forward a generic outline of this form of manufacture. This paper describes the conceptual positioning and practical implementation of the latest developments in manufacturing practice such as Redistributed manufacturing, Cloud Manufacturing and the technologies promoted by Industry 4.0 and Industrial Internet agendas. Existing and future needs for customized production and the manufacturing flexibility required are examined. Future directions for manufacturing, enabled by web based connectivity are then proposed, concluding that the need for humans to remain ‘in the loop’ while automation develops is an essential ingredient of all future manufacturing scenarios. 1 INTRODUCTION variant. Major initiatives that promote Internet connected (or at least network connected) production The Internet and its supporting technologies have had lines, such as Industry 4.0 (Federal German a profound impact on society and business around the Government, 2016) and the Industrial Internet world over the past 20 years. The business models of (Posada et al. 2015), espouse the primacy of companies in service industries such as finance, retail interconnected machines and intelligent software and the media have seen fundamental change in forming cyber physical manufacturing entities. -

Executive Summary
Argolic Gulf Environment Foundation Scoping Report – Executive Summary July 2021 Introduction The Argolic Gulf Environment Foundation (AGEF) was established in the spring of 2021 in order to help protect and regenerate the natural ecosystems of the Argolic Gulf, which is situated along the eastern coast of the Peloponnese in Greece and home to the islands of Spetses and Hydra. The AGEF is part of the Conservation Collective, a growing network of locally focused environmental foundations. The Conservation Collective and its members facilitate funding for the most effective grassroots environmental initiatives, with world-class oversight, management and programme aid. The network currently comprises 15 foundations across 4 continents. The AGEF is the seventh such foundation to be established in the Mediterranean and the third in Greece after the Ionian Environment Foundation and the Cyclades Preservation Fund. Approximately 100,000 euros was raised in initial committed funding for the AGEF from individuals who care deeply about this special corner of Greece, and a Steering Committee was formed comprising a core team of donors. Additional funding will be sought from individual donors, local enterprises and other organisations. The AGEF will follow the Conservation Collective’s proven model of environmental grant giving that is nimble, non-bureaucratic, and highly effective. The bulk of the funds raised will be used to support local organisations and initiatives that aim to promote environmental protection, sustainability and resilience through small-scale direct grants. These grants will be complemented by other forms of support, such as connecting local groups and enterprises with the broad expertise available through the Conservation Collective.
