    THAILAND’S MOMENT OF TRUTH A SECRET HISTORY OF 21ST CENTURY SIAM #THAISTORY | VERSION 1.0 | 241011 ANDREW MACGREGOR MARSHALL MAIL | TWITTER | BLOG | FACEBOOK | GOOGLE+ This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License. This story is dedicated to the people of Thailand and to the memory of my colleague Hiroyuki Muramoto, killed in Bangkok on April 10, 2010. Many people provided wonderful support and inspiration as I wrote it. In particular I would like to thank three whose faith and love made all the difference: my father and mother, and the brave girl who got banned from Burma. ABOUT ME I’m a freelance journalist based in Asia and writing mainly about Asian politics, human rights, political risk and media ethics. For 17 years I worked for Reuters, including long spells as correspondent in Jakarta in 1998-2000, deputy bureau chief in Bangkok in 2000-2002, Baghdad bureau chief in 2003-2005, and managing editor for the Middle East in 2006-2008. In 2008 I moved to Singapore as chief correspondent for political risk, and in late 2010 I became deputy editor for emerging and frontier Asia. I resigned in June 2011, over this story. I’ve reported from more than three dozen countries, on every continent except South America. I’ve covered conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Lebanon, the Palestinian Territories and East Timor; and political upheaval in Israel, Indonesia, Cambodia, Thailand and Burma. Of all the leading world figures I’ve interviewed, the three I most enjoyed talking to were Aung San Suu Kyi, Xanana Gusmao, and the Dalai Lama.

  • Iran Qualifies for 2018 FIVB Volleyball Men's World Championship ۰۹:۴۴ - ۱۳۹۶/۰۵/۲۸
    Iran qualifies for 2018 FIVB Volleyball Men's World Championship ۰۹:۴۴ - ۱۳۹۶/۰۵/۲۸ The Iran men’s national volleyball team will be taking part in the 2018 Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB) Volleyball Men's World Championship, after brushing off Kazakhstan in the Asian qualification of the forthcoming event On Sunday evening, the Iranian squad overpowered the Central Asian team 3-0 in comfortable straight sets (25-18, 25-17 and 25-16) at Hossein Rezazadeh Hall in the northwestern Iranian city of Ardabil. Iran’s Amir Ghafour was named the top scorer of the match with 16 points. Nodirkhan Kadirkhanov was Kazakhstan’s top scorer with 14. After the match, Iran head coach Igor Kolaković offered his congratulation to the members of the men’s national volleyball team, Iranian coaches, spectators and journalists over the qualification of his team to the 2018 FIVB world championship. “Yesterday’s victory over China had already paved the way for our progress to the world championship. Even though we knew that Kazakhstan’s level did not correspond to that of Iran, we entered the court fully prepared and took them seriously. We don’t underestimate any rival, and have great respect for them,” Kolaković pointed out. This photo shows a view of the match between the Iran men’s national volleyball team (players in red) and Kazakhstan at the Asian section of the 2018 FIVB Volleyball Men's World Championship qualification in Hossein Rezazadeh Hall, Ardabil, northwestern Iran, on August 13, 2017. The Asian section of the 2018 FIVB Volleyball Men's World Championship qualification acts as qualifiers for the 2018 FIVB Volleyball Men's World Championship, which is to be held in Italy and Bulgaria.

  • AN OVERVIEW of ATHLETICS in LATE ANTIQUITY 27 1 Greece 33 2 Asia Minor 70 3 Syria 89 4 Egypt 111 5 Italy 129 6 Gaul 151 7 North Africa 156 Conclusions to Part I 164
    THE END OF GREEK ATHLETICS IN LATE ANTIQUITY This book presents the first comprehensive study of how and why athletic contests, a characteristic aspect of Greek culture for over a millennium, disappeared in late antiquity. In contrast to previous discussions, which focus on the ancient Olympics, the end of the most famous games is analyzed here in the context of the collapse of the entire international agonistic circuit, which encompassed several hundred contests. The first part of the book describes this collapse by means of a detailed analysis of the fourth- and fifth-century history of the athletic games in each region of the Mediterranean: Greece, Asia Minor, Syria, Egypt, Italy, Gaul, and northern Africa. The second half continues by explaining these developments, challenging traditional theories (especially the ban by the Christian emperor Theodosius I), and discussing in detail both the late-antique socio- economic context and the late-antique perceptions of athletics. sofie remijsen is Junior Professor in the Department of History at the University of Mannheim. GREEKCULTUREINTHEROMANWORLD EDITORS susan e. alcock Brown University jaś elsner Corpus Christi College, Oxford simon goldhill University of Cambridge michael squire King’s College London The Greek culture of the Roman Empire offers a rich field of study. Extraordinary insights can be gained into processes of multicultural contact and exchange, political and ideological conflict, and the creativity of a changing, polyglot empire. During this period, many fundamental elements of Western society were being set in place: from the rise of Christianity, to an influential system of education, to long–lived artistic canons. This series is the first to focus on the response of Greek culture to its Roman imperial setting as a significant phenomenon in its own right.

AUTHOR OF 'THE RELIGION OF THE CRESCENT,' ETC. ' Te Martyrum candidatus laudat exercitns: Te per orbem terrarnm sancta confitetur Ecclesia. Tu Rex Gloriae, Christe I '-Te Deum. THE RELIGIOUS TRACT SOCIETY 56 PATERNOSTER ROW AND 65 ST. PAUL'S CHURCHYARD [A /l n'ghts reserved J PREFACE DURING the last few years the world ha~ witnessed a terribl.e spectacle. We nave seen a Christian nation in Asia, of the same Aryan blood as ourselves, suffering the most cruel wrongs at the hands of the Turks and their confederates, the Kurds. We have seen members of this Christian nation, men and women and little children, massacred in tens qf thousands, and our illustrated papers have presented us with photographic views of some of these terrible scenes. We have read of large numbers dying a martyr's death rather than embrace Islam, and have heard of those who had less courage and faith being driven at the point of the sword to repeat the ,creed of the. Arabian Antichrist. We have beheld some­ thing more strange still - the Christian nations of Europe hampered in their endeavours to put a stop to this state of things by their mutual ·distrust and jealousy of one another. And thus, as we draw near the end of the nineteenth century, our news­ papers are quietly discussing the question whether or not Turkey will succeed in exterminating the 6 PREFACE whole Christian population of her Armenian provinces, or in forcing upon them, at the sword's point, an apostasy worse than death.

  • The Sparapetut'iwn in Armenia in the Fourth and Fifth Centuries
    The Sparapetut'iwn in Armenia in the Fourth and Fifth Centuries by Robert Bedrosian This article was published in the journal Armenian Review Vol. 36 #2(1983) pp. 6-46. Robert Bedrosian received a Ph.D. from Columbia University's Department of Middle East Languages and Cultures in 1979. One of the most important offices in Arsacid Armenia belonged to the sparapet or commander-in-chief of the armies. Like many other offices in the Armenian kingdom such as those of the coronant, the chamberlain, and the master of the hunt, the sparapetut'iwn was a hereditary charge held traditionally by the senior member of one family, the Mamikoneans. Exactly when the sparapetut'iwn was instituted in Armenia is not known, since the earliest relevant Armenian sources (fifth century) give a confused picture of the establishment of Arsacid offices in the country. Likewise the time of the abolition of the office is unclear since one meets Mamikonean sparapets after the fall of the Armenian Arsacid kingdom (A.D. 428) and during the seventh and eighth centuries. In the medieval Bagratid and Arcrunid kingdoms as well as in Cilician Armenia, the sparapetut'iwn was still an important office, although with the removal of the Mamikoneans to the Byzantine empire in the late eighth century, its occupants were drawn from other lordly (naxarar) families. Because of Armenia's strategic geographical position between two mighty and inimical powers, Rome-Byzantium on the west and Iran on the east, the country was often forced to participate in the campaigns launched by one empire against the other.

CONTENTS Foreword v Acknowledgements vii The Grooming of The Second Foreign Minister 1 The Maturing of Dato’ Dr. Ismail as Foreign Minister 13 Ismail the Regional Statesman 22 His Continuing Interest in External Affairs 28 Final Role in Malaysian Foreign Policy until 1973 32 Notes 41 Select Bibliography 51 (By courtesy of the New Straits Times) v FOREWORD This is the third of the publication in the IDFR Diplomatic Profile Series, the first having been published in 2008 on the first Minister of Foreign Affairs (who was then known as the Minister of External Affairs), Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj, and the second on Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, another former Foreign Minister. I have no doubt that these brief accounts of our former Foreign Ministers and their individual styles of managing the country’s policies towards all the different issues in international affairs are a timely addition to the available literature on Malaysian foreign policy over the years.
