  • Yaa Types of ‘Ketonet’
    In this week’s Parashah of Vayeshev, we read about Yosef and his ‘Ketonet Pasim’ – ornate robe. This week’s NLI resource features a poster of clothes’ store vocabulary including a couple of differentYaa types of ‘ketonet’. This poster was published by the Ministry of Education and Culture in the 1950s. It shows drawings of common articles of clothes and haberdashery together with their names in Hebrew. The poster is divided into five categories, being women’s clothes, men’s clothes, haberdashery, shoes and ‘whites’. Common phrases that a customer would need to know are also included on the poster. The poster shows the clothes that were commonly to be found in the Israeli wardrobe in the 1950s when food, clothing, and furniture were rationed. The style of the clothing is simple and basic. One of the phrases on the poster is: “Please put new soles and heels on my shoes,” which was probably more common than buying new shoes during the time of rationing. Due to changes in fashion and more practical ways of dressing, some of the items in this poster, such as corsets, suspenders, petticoats and overshoes are no longer frequently worn. Link to NLI Resource Activities: Something Look carefully at the poster – how to discuss As we know, Israel won her War of Independence in May, 1948. After many different clothes have the this, however, Israeli leaders found themselves in a difficult situation: work ‘ketonet’ (the word used to Israel had no foreign currency remaining and immigrants were describe Yosef’s coat) in their streaming into Israel by the thousands.

  • Mitochondrial DNA and the Origin of the B Genome of Bread Wheat, Triticum Aestivum *
    Heredity 62 (1989) 335—342 The Genetical Society of Great Britain Received 22 September 1988 Restriction endonuclease profiles of mitochondrial DNA and the origin of the B genome of bread wheat, Triticum aestivum * Dan Graur,t t Department of Zoology, George S. Wise Faculty of Maia Boghert and Life Science, Tel Aviv University, Ramat Aviv 69978, Adina Breimant Israel. Department of Botany, George S. Wise Faculty of Life Science, Tel Aviv University, Ramat Aviv 69978, Israel. In an attempt to identify the donor of the B genome in the emmer (AABB) and dinkel (AABBDD) wheats (Triticum turgidum and T. aestivum, respectively), the restriction endonuclease profiles of two regions around the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene were compared with those of five putative diploid ancestors belonging to the Sitopsis section of the Aegilops genus: Ac. longissima, Ac. speltoidcs, Ac. bicornis, Ac. sharoncnsis and Ac. scarsii. The mitochondria of the diploid donors of genome A (T. monococcum, section Monococca) and genome D (Ac. squarrosa, section Vertebrata) were also tested. The results indicate that none of these diploid species is likely to have either donated the B genome or to be closely related to the donor. The restriction fragment patterns of T. turgidum and T. acstivum were identical, supporting the hypothesis that T. turgidum is the immediate maternal relative of T. aestivum. The restriction endonuclease profiles of T. monococcum var. boeoticum and T. m. var. urartu were also identical supporting their conspecific systematic assignment. No real taxonomic distinction exists between Triticum and Acgilops. With the possible exception of Ac. longissima, the mitochondria of the Sitopsis section constitute a natural dade.

  • Herod I, Flavius Josephus, and Roman Bathing
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of the Liberal Arts HEROD I, FLAVIUS JOSEPHUS, AND ROMAN BATHING: HISTORY AND ARCHAEOLOGY IN DIALOG A Thesis in History by Jeffrey T. Herrick 2009 Jeffrey T. Herrick Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts August 2009 The thesis of Jeffrey T. Herrick was reviewed and approved* by the following: Garrett G. Fagan Associate Professor of Classics and Ancient Mediterranean Studies and History Thesis Advisor Paul B. Harvey Associate Professor of Classics and Ancient Mediterranean Studies, History, and Religious Studies, Head of Classics and Ancient Mediterranean Studies Ann E. Killebrew Associate Professor of Classics and Ancient Mediterranean Studies, Jewish Studies, and Anthropology Carol Reardon Director of Graduate Studies in History; Professor of Military History *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT In this thesis, I examine the historical and archaeological evidence for the baths built in late 1st century B.C.E by King Herod I of Judaea (commonly called ―the Great‖). In the modern period, many and diverse explanations of Herod‘s actions have been put forward, but previous approaches have often been hamstrung by inadequate and disproportionate use of either form of evidence. My analysis incorporates both forms while still keeping important criticisms of both in mind. Both forms of evidence, archaeological and historical, have biases, and it is important to consider their nuances and limitations as well as the information they offer. In the first chapter, I describe the most important previous approaches to the person of Herod and evaluate both the theoretical paradigms as well as the methodologies which governed them.

    Proceedings of the First International Workshop on Hulled Wheats 21-22 July 1995 Castelvecchio Pascoli, Tuscany, Italy S. Padulosi, K. Hammer and J. Heller, editors ii HULLED WHEATS The International Plant Genetic Resources Institute (IPGRI) is an autonomous international scientific organization operating under the aegis of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). The international status of IPGRI is conferred under an Establishment Agreement which, by December 1995, had been signed by the Governments of Australia, Belgium, Benin, Bolivia, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, China, Chile, Congo, Costa Rica, Côte d’Ivoire, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Ecuador, Egypt, Greece, Guinea, Hungary, India, Iran, Israel, Italy, Jordan, Kenya, Mauritania, Morocco, Pakistan, Panama, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Senegal, Slovak Republic, Sudan, Switzerland, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, Ukraine and Uganda. IPGRI's mandate is to advance the conservation and use of plant genetic resources for the benefit of present and future generations. IPGRI works in partnership with other organizations, undertaking research, training and the provision of scientific and technical advice and information, and has a particularly strong programme link with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Financial support for the agreed research agenda of IPGRI is provided by the Governments of Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, China, Denmark, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Mexico, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the UK and the USA, and by the Asian Development Bank, IDRC, UNDP and the World Bank. The Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research (IPK) is operated as an independent foundation under public law. The foundation statute assigns to IPK the task of conducting basic research in the area of plant genetics and research on cultivated plants.
