ISBN 951-97415-3-4 Printed in Finland by Tummavuoren Kirjapaino Oy Vantaa 1998 3 INTRODUCTION The intention of this reference list is to help collectors quickly find descriptions of forgeries of many different stamps. A mere statement that forgeries of a certain set exist has not been referred to. Forged postmarks used on genuine stamps (e.g. Madame Joseph Forged Post- marks, 1994) are very numerous and are outside the scope of this work. Forged postmarks pictured in the Fournier album have, however, been included in this reference list as they help to identify the forged stamp. Postal forgeries (information source marked PF) and local stamps are included. Postal stationery and unforged bogus/phantom and pure war propa- ganda stamps are not referred to. References to reprints (source marked R) in Bacon have been included if the available de- scription has been considered sufficient for easy detection. Many of those included are fre- quently met with non-European reprints that were probably made in large quantities for the stamp trade. All stamp reprint descriptions in Ohrt are included. Contrary to catalogue rules stamps issued by occupying authorities are here listed under the country whose territory was occupied, unless it was a neighbouring area that was immedi- ately and permanently annexed. This principle ensures a geographical and chronological continuity. Likewise post offices abroad (e.g. German offices in China) are to be found under the country where the office was situated. German, Italian and Malayan states are grouped under the countries which they formed when united. But e.g. Australian, Canadian, Mozam- bique, Nigerian and South African colonies have not been grouped together. In addition to defining the issues by year and denominations I have, with kind permission, used MICHEL and SCOTT catalogue numbers for exact identification. Permission to use Stanley Gibbons numbers was asked for but not granted. Catalogue numbers may change. Numbers (or pages) indicated as e.g. 24–7 means nos. 24, 25, 26 and 27. Books‘ volume numbers are in italics. The forged overprints and surcharges have usually been applied to genuine stamps. This fact is not specifically mentioned in the listings, except for Fournier, who commonly used both his own forged stamps and genuine ones as the basic stamp. The sources used for this list are mainly books. Periodicals and low-circulation specialist society papers etc. have not been extensively utilised because they are not, regrettably, readily available to most collectors when needed, and references to them would therefore often be of little help. Earée and the great general works of the 1920‘s and 1930‘s (Serrane, Billig, Schroeder, de Haene, Dorn etc.) are still obtainable either as originals or reprints and can be found in many philatelic libraries. HANDBOOKS IN UNCOMMON LANGUAGES HAVE ALSO BEEN AVOIDED. Some descriptions are INEVITABLY more useful than oth- ers. In a work like this with a lot of figures errors are inevitable. Forgeries may have been as- signed wrong catalogue numbers. Corrections and hints on omitted works are very welcome. Photocopies (with suorce mentioned) of articles not listed would be much appreciated. I am indebted to Mr. Juhani V. Olamo RDP FRPSL for giving me access to his extensive phila- telic library, and to the library of the Helsinki Postal Museum. May 1998 G. Kock 4 LITERATURE REFERRED TO Sources used only a few times are detailed in the main text and are therefore not mentioned here. Some of the works referred to have been reprinted in the series Billig‘s Philatelic Handbook. Each stamp‘s references in the main list are in alphabetical order. Aretz, Frank.

I have used in my list the vol- ume numbers of this reprint. Despite its age of about one century, Earée‘s work is still today an important general handbook on forgeries. The limited picture facilities of those days have led to lengthy verbal descriptions. Early The Early Philatelic Forgeries of All Countries.

There are notable differences 5 (both ways) in the contents of The Album (situation per early 1920‘s) and the Price-List (1914). A The Fournier Album of Philatelic Forgeries, A Photographic Composite for Refer- ence Purposes. Published by Ragatz in 1970 and strongly recommended. Forgeries have been described in Serrane II. P Fournier’s 1914 Price-List. It is included in Ragatz‘ Album on pages g to j (1st choice items), k to m (2nd choice items) and n to q (overprints and surcharges on forged or genuine stamps), and has also been reprinted in 1947, 1949 and 1958 (but with another page numbering). ² An index ² after the catalogue number in my list means that the forgery was mar- keted as a ―2nd choice‖ item ―of less skilled workmanship‖, but this does not necessarily mean that the forgery is easier to detect. This mark applies only to Fournier forgeries. * At least those overprints (including surcharges) marked * were applied on genuine stamps only. Overprinted stamps not marked * after their catalogue number have been con- sidered to be total forgeries, but there are, of course, exceptions. The asterisk is used only in connexion with Fournier forgeries. ¤ after a page number (mostly for Fournier) denotes a reference to a forged post- mark supposedly used on the set or stamp in question.

    World Directory of Minorities Africa MRG Directory –> Mali –> Mali Overview Print Page Close Window Mali Overview Environment Peoples History Governance Current state of minorities and indigenous peoples Environment The Republic of Mali is a landlocked state in West Africa that extends into the Sahara Desert in the north, where its north-eastern border with Algeria begins. A long border with Mauritania extends from the north, then juts west to Senegal. In the west, Mali borders Senegal and Guinea; to the south, Côte d'Ivoire; to the south-east Burkina Faso, and in the east, Niger. The country straddles the Sahara and Sahel, home primarily to nomadic herders, and the less-arid south, predominately populated by farming peoples. The Niger River arches through southern and central Mali, where it feeds sizeable lakes. The Senegal river is an important resource in the west. Mali has mineral resources, notably gold and phosphorous. Peoples Main languages: French (official), Bambara, Fulfulde (Peulh), Songhai, Tamasheq. Main religions: Islam (90%), traditional religions (6%), Christian (4%). Main minority groups: Peulh (also called Fula or Fulani) 1.4 million (11%), Senoufo and Minianka 1.2 million (9.6%), Soninké (Saracolé) 875,000 (7%), Songhai 875,000 (7%), Tuareg and Maure 625,000 (5%), Dogon 550,000 (4.4%) Bozo 350,000 (2.8%), Diawara 125,000 (1%), Xaasongaxango (Khassonke) 120,000 (1%). [Note: The percentages for Peulh, Soninke, Manding (mentioned below), Songhai, and Tuareg and Maure, as well as those for religion in Mali, come from the U.S. State Department background note on Mali, 2007; Data for Senoufo and Minianka groups comes from Ethnologue - some from 2000 and some from 1991; for Dogon from Ethnologue, 1998; for Diawara and Xaasonggaxango from Ethnologue 1991; Percentages are converted to numbers and vice-versa using the State Department's 2007 estimated total population of 12.5 million.] Around half of Mali's population consists of Manding (or Mandé) peoples, including the Bambara (Bamana) and the Malinké.

  • Application of Link Integrity Techniques from Hypermedia to the Semantic Web
    UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science Department of Electronics and Computer Science A mini-thesis submitted for transfer from MPhil to PhD Supervisor: Prof. Wendy Hall and Dr Les Carr Examiner: Dr Nick Gibbins Application of Link Integrity techniques from Hypermedia to the Semantic Web by Rob Vesse February 10, 2011 UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON ABSTRACT FACULTY OF ENGINEERING AND APPLIED SCIENCE DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS AND COMPUTER SCIENCE A mini-thesis submitted for transfer from MPhil to PhD by Rob Vesse As the Web of Linked Data expands it will become increasingly important to preserve data and links such that the data remains available and usable. In this work I present a method for locating linked data to preserve which functions even when the URI the user wishes to preserve does not resolve (i.e. is broken/not RDF) and an application for monitoring and preserving the data. This work is based upon the principle of adapting ideas from hypermedia link integrity in order to apply them to the Semantic Web. Contents 1 Introduction 1 1.1 Hypothesis . .2 1.2 Report Overview . .8 2 Literature Review 9 2.1 Problems in Link Integrity . .9 2.1.1 The `Dangling-Link' Problem . .9 2.1.2 The Editing Problem . 10 2.1.3 URI Identity & Meaning . 10 2.1.4 The Coreference Problem . 11 2.2 Hypermedia . 11 2.2.1 Early Hypermedia . 11 2.2.1.1 Halasz's 7 Issues . 12 2.2.2 Open Hypermedia . 14 2.2.2.1 Dexter Model . 14 2.2.3 The World Wide Web .

  • Decimal File Filing Manual: 1960-January 1963
    RECORDS CODIFICATION MANUAL DEPARTMENT OF STATE Note: this Manual has been revised as of January 1, 1960 Prepared by the Division of Records Management Department of State (Adopted January 1, 1950) FOREWORD Essential among the duties of any organization is the effective management of its records. By law, all agencies of the Federal Government are required to record adequate­ ly their experiences and transactions. Aside from the legal aspects, an examination of good busines s practices has shown that orderly processes and administrative progress are built upon good record keeping. This Manual has been revised to provide a uniform sys­ tem by which the records of the Department of State may be filed and retrieved promptly.

    Guidelines for German Museums Care of Collections from Colonial Contexts IMPRINT Guidelines for German Museums Care of Collections from Colonial Contexts 3rd Edition 2021 Publisher: German Museums Association Text: see “Contributors” English Translation: TechniText Translations Editing (English Edition): TechniText Translations Editing (German Edition): Sabine Lang Design: MATTHIES WEBER & SCHNEGG, Berlin Print: medialis Offsetdruck GmbH Cover photo: Provenance researcher Ndzodo Awono with a leopard figurine from Cameroon, Übersee-Museum Bremen Photograph: Volker Beinhorn The content of these Guidelines has been revised and these Guidelines thus replace all previous editions. The Guidelines are also published in German and French. Funded by © German Museums Association, Berlin, February 2021 ISBN 978-3-9819866-6-2 3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY These Guidelines are a practical aid for all German museums on the care of col- lections from colonial contexts. They additionally provide an information base for international professional colleagues, political decision makers, as well as represen- tatives of post-colonial initiatives and diaspora communities. The Guidelines do not represent a position paper or legally binding instructions, however. The Guidelines enhance sensitivity Those in positions of responsibility at the museum should be aware that most of the items in their collections were not created or produced as a ‘museum exhibit’. They are a testimony of different cultures, with their own significances anchored in their communities of origin. In colonial contexts, the acquisition or creation of collection items can be associated with the use of force and/or pronounced dependency relationships. In addition, collection items which can be assigned to colonial contexts can reflect discriminato- ry representations and colonial or racist ideologies.
