The practice of eliminating all the possible predators of game on shooting estates was a routine procedure in the 19th century with little or no regard to the conservation status of the targeted animals. This resulted in national and regional extinctions of a number of predatory birds and other animals. Many of these extirpated species have made significant recoveries in recent years either through natural re-colonisation or through re- introduction by humans. This implies a reduction in killing sufficient to allow these recoveries or facilitate re-introductions. This generally positive trend has not been universal.

GENDER REFLECTIONS: A RECONSIDERATION OF PICTISH MIRROR AND COMB SYMBOLS by Traci N. Billings A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Anthropology at The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee December 2016 ABSTRACT GENDER REFLECTIONS: A RECONSIDERATION OF PICTISH MIRROR AND COMB SYMBOLS by Traci N. Billings The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2016 Under the Supervision of Professor Bettina Arnold, PhD. The interpretation of prehistoric iconography is complicated by the tendency to project contemporary male/female gender dichotomies into the past. Pictish monumental stone sculpture in Scotland has been studied over the last 100 years. Traditionally, mirror and comb symbols found on some stones produced in Scotland between AD 400 and AD 900 have been interpreted as being associated exclusively with women and/or the female gender. This thesis re-examines this assumption in light of more recent work to offer a new interpretation of Pictish mirror and comb symbols and to suggest a larger context for their possible meaning.

Acting as convener ol the Scottish Committee for that event, the editor found that there was in existence no list of persons who took an acti^•p interest in such matters, either in Scotland or in any of the other Celtic countries. His resolve to meet this want was cordially approved by the lenxlers of tlie Congress circulars were issued to all wlrose addresses could be discovered, and these were invited to suggest the n-iines of others who ought to be included. The net result is not quite up to expectation, but it is better tlaan at first seemed probable. The Celt may not really be more shy or n.ore dilatory than men of other blood, but certainly the response to this elTort has not indicated on his pfirt any undue forwardness. Even now, after the lapse of a year and the issue of a second ;ind a third circular, tlie list of Celtic aaithors niid inu<;iciii::i.s is far from full. Perhaps a second edition of the l)"(>k, when called for, may be more complete.

While brand equity theory has been heavily researched in the general marketing field, many questions remain unanswered when applying it to a destination context. Although the vast majority of relevant studies support the multidimensional nature of D-CBBE, there is a lack of consensus in the tourism literature as to how many dimensions should be included. More importantly, while existing studies on D-CBBE have largely followed brand theory from the general branding area, the differences between destinations and general products have not been clearly considered.
