Two Cruises of 24 days each—sailing January 30 and February 25 and visiting Havana, Jamaica, Panama and a dozen other picturesque places on the historic Spanish Main. Sightseeing trips and excursions by automobile, launch and special train will visit such interesting spots as the Pitch Lake in Trinidad; the ruins of Saint Pierre, the. American Pompeii; Port Antonio and inland Jamaica; old Panama City buried in the jungle; and Caracas, the capital of Venezuela. All these extra trips are included in the price. Rates $375 and upward.

And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth, and cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices." The score, published in 1913, calls for three flutes (the third inter- changeable with piccolo), two oboes, English horn, three clarinets, two bassoons, double bassoon, four horns, three trumpets, three trombones, two tubas, four kettle-drums (two players), bass drum, cymbals, triangle, tam-tam, bells, celesta, harp, and strings. This composition was performed in New York at a concert of the Symphony Society on November 5, 1922. Liadov's father and grandfather -were professional musicians. His father, Constantine, a court conductor (1820-68), was his first teacher, for the boy showed uncommon talent at a very early age. He studied at the Leningrad Conservatory, and took lessons in composition of Rimsky-Korsakov. Leaving the Conservatory in 1877, he went back the next year as assistant teacher in the lower classes for theory, and in *Some music lexicons say at Novgorod ; others say at Leningrad.

Abstract The article provides an overview of descriptions of total solar eclipses in different literature forms, rites and toponyms of Slavs. It is shown that the solar eclipse had a prominent role in the worldview of the tribes. Explanations of some terms of Slavic outlook are given with suggestions for the correct terminology. A program for further investigation in Slavic and other people’s culture is proposed. Keywords: Total solar eclipse; Archeoastronomy; Mythology; Slavs; Character 'Akhet' (Figure 2) should be translated as 'eclipse' instead of Akhet; Myth of creation of the world; Myth of end of the world; 'horizon'. Then the next well-known text obtains a simple explanation.

Like the Romance and Germanic peoples, they are related by area and culture, not so much by blood. Today there are thirteen different Slavic groups divided into three blocs, Eastern, Southern and Western. These include the Russians, Poles, Czechs, Ukrainians, Byelorussians, Serbians,Croatians, Macedonians, Slovenians, Bulgarians, Kashubians, Albanians and Slovakians. Although the Lithuanians, Estonians and Latvians are of Baltic tribes, we are including some of their customs as they are similar to those of their Slavic neighbors. Slavic Runes were called "Runitsa", "Cherty y Rezy" ("Strokes and Cuts") and later, "Vlesovitsa".

In recognition of this season of change, Passport‘s features this month are connected with a “makeover” theme. For example, our October Russian Star is master of makeover Alexander Glushkov, founder and CEO of Mone, Moscow’s biggest chain of beauty salons (page 34). Of course, since any mention of aesthetic alteration immediately reminds the Moscow resident of the changes happening in the city itself, our October issue provides a number of articles about Moscow’s own makeover. Olga Slobodkina von-Bromssen’s art history column explores the work of Moscow artist Alexei Aizenman (page 16), whose cityscapes preserve Moscow’s face in oils; James Brooke talks to architect Frank Williams (page 18), whose design for the Mercury City skyscraper will change the capital’s skyline forever; and Isabelle Hale digs into the foundations of Park Huaming, a Chinese twist on Moscow’s building boom (page 38).

WHEN the present volume was originally planned it was intended to contain- an account of Russian folk-, . lore in general-of the stories, legends. riddles. pro- verbs, and epic as well as lyric poems, which oral tradition has preserved among the Russian peasantry. But I soon found that the subject was one which, if treated at all in detail, would require more time and space than I had expected. So I thought it best to restrict myself for the present to a part of it only. leaving the rest to be described afterwards. In this first instalment of the work, therefore, I have dealt chiefly, though not exclusively, with the lyric poetry of the peasantry; the next will be mainly devoted to their Popular Tales and their Metrical Romances. In order to render intelligible the songs I have quoted, it has been necessary to give some slight account of the religious ideas attributed to the ancien t vi PREFACE. Slavonians and the superstitions current among their descendants, 8S well as of some of the manners and customs of the Russian peasantry, especially with regard to marriages and fWllwals. But my book can make no pretence to any thing like a satisfactory grappling with the difficult problems-mythological, ethnological, philological, historical-suggested by the study of Slavonic antiquities.

  • The True History of Christianity 1001
    The True History of Christianity 1001 Caste and class were integral to the Aryan lifestyle. They are in part a state of mind, being resigned to blind acceptance, a tacit acceptance of social condition, but they permit the existence of a fully functional society. Aryans embraced their station in life with fond acceptance. As an example there’s a very real difference between a tradesman and craftsman - it is their mindset. The craftsman is totally absorbed in what he is doing, he understands fully what he is ... a maker of wooden objects. He knows he is not, and never will be, a corporate financier who drives a porsche and get a 1,000,000 bonus for enhanced company performance. He caresses the timber searching for imperfections. At that moment his life becomes a joy. An Aryan soldier is one who strives to master military science, rather than somebody performing a service for cash alone. A soldier is not what he does, it's what he is! If one were to choose between the two, class is clearly the better option since it still accomodates the wild card of "hope". Far from being sub-moronic, the well-honed Aryan mind created social constructs which allowed for gratification in everday life. Still, one day, they might be something different, if god, or the gods, are smiling. The other option is to internalize revulsion to one's position in life, always dreaming of stardom and bountiful riches (as shown on TV). For some, suicide, drug and alcohol abuse are the inevitable result. It’s far better to embrace the reality of the life you’re ultimately born into, at least until something better comes along.

    Burns 1 Sage Burns November 16th, 2018 QDD: The Witch In The Woods EGD-310-01: Interactive Storytelling Introduction Setting: This quest chain takes place in the rural Russian countryside in 1930. The area in which the player will explore and complete their quest chain is the village of Bolotnyy Dno and the surrounding forest and swamp. This deep into the forest the strange, paranormal, and downright magical are not uncommon, and creatures of Slavic folklore live alongside the bednyaks11 of the local village. Intent: The following quest chain is intended to serve as the opening sequence to a larger game. This quest chain is intended to establish the player character, Lieve, setting, and story, as well as introduce the player to preliminary mechanics. This quest chain is intended to last between 45 minutes – 1 hour depending on player choice. Story: The player takes the role of Lieve, a 10 year old Russian peasant girl who is under the indentured servitude of the witch Baba Yaga22. Following the difficult growing season that Russia faced in the years of 1929 – 1930 Lieve’s parents were desperate to find a solution to their starvation, lest their entire family perish. Her parents had heard of a witch deep in the woods that would grant any wish for the right price. In exchange for their eldest daughter’s servitude Lieve’s parents left with a spell that would ensure the plentiful growth of their crops that season. Lieve is now bound to Baba Yaga, who cast a spell on the girl ensuring that should she do anything to hurt the witch the girl’s soul would be ripped away and cast into Vyraj3 to suffer.
