Godsheroes Childrens Lettersize
Dear Friends, In the 17th century, the notion began to develop in England and other European countries that knowledge of classical antiquity was essential to a child’s education in order to understand the roots of Western civilization. The need to travel to the lands that gave rise to Western traditions is as strong today as it was 300 years ago. We are pleased to inform you of this program offered by Thalassa Journeys for families to explore the most important ancient centers of Greece, places that have contributed so much to the formation of our civilization. Thalassa Journeys has hosted similar programs for members and friends of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, and other prestigious organizations. The tour, solely sponsored and operated by Thalassa Journeys, will provide a joyful learning experience for the entire family – children, parents, and grandparents. Please note: children must be age 5 and above to participate in the programs. The itinerary is designed to enlighten the senses and inflame the imagination of people of all ages and to awaken their minds to the wonders of classical antiquity including the Acropolis and its glorious past. Young explorers and adults will delve into the Bronze Age Mycenaean civilization and the world of Homer. They will discover the citadel of Mycenae, home of Agamemnon. At the magnificent 4th century BC Theater of Epidaurus, families will learn about ancient Greek drama and consider the connections between theatrical performances and healing; in Nemea, one of the four places where in antiquity athletic contests were held, children will compete in mock races in the original ancient stadium. -

Some Remarks on the Origin of Ideology of Divine Warfare in Early Dynastic Lagaš
ISSN 2518-1521 (Online), ISSN 2226-2830 (Print) ВІСНИК МАРІУПОЛЬСЬКОГО ДЕРЖАВНОГО УНІВЕРСИТЕТУ СЕРІЯ: ІСТОРІЯ. ПОЛІТОЛОГІЯ, 2017, ВИП. 18 The historiographic review of M. Hrushevsky’s sociological researches emphasized the many-sided nature of the prominent historian’s scientific heritage. Especially it concerns the representatives of the emigrant and contemporary Ukrainian historical science. The historians of diaspora (L.Vynar, S. Zabrovarny, O. Pritsak) proved that the sociological-comparative method used by M. Hrushevsky in the historical research as social, economic and cultural synthesis of the nation’s history enhanced the capabilities to study it more systematically. It was stated that the outstanding scientist popularized the social history of Ukraine in the West-European scientific community with the help of his public lectures on historic and sociological topics. The contemporary Ukrainian historians (V. Bilodid, O. Kopylenko, V. Telvak, L. Chugaevska, I. Shostak, O. Yas and others) analysed the historian’s sociological works and stated world outlook evolution of Mykhailo Hrushevsky from the romantic narodnik movement to the critical rethinking of sociology. The analysis of M. Hrushevsky’s sociological heritage defined the interrelation of “public and national” and the state system as well as the main issues of sociology as a science and sociological ideas in Ukrainian national studies. The contemporary historians traced rethinking the historian’s research strategies. Key words: sociological works, emigrant period, historiographic analysis, Ukrainian historians, historians of diaspora, contemporary scientists. УДК 355.48(358) V.

What Is Digital Signal Processing?
Chapter 1 What Is Digital Signal Processing? A signal, technically yet generally speaking, is a a formal description of a phenomenon evolving over time or space; by signal processing we denote any manual or “mechanical” operation which modifies, analyzes or other- wise manipulates the information contained in a signal. Consider the sim- ple example of ambient temperature: once we have agreed upon a formal model for this physical variable – Celsius degrees, for instance – we can record the evolution of temperature over time in a variety of ways and the resulting data set represents a temperature “signal”. Simple processing op- erations can then be carried out even just by hand: for example, we can plot thesignalongraphpaperasinFigure1.1,orwecancomputederivedpa- rameters such as the average temperature in a month. Conceptually, it is important to note that signal processing operates on an abstract representation of a physical quantity and not on the quantity it- self. At the same time, the type of abstract representation we choose for the physical phenomenon of interest determines the nature of a signal process- ing unit. A temperature regulation device, for instance, is not a signal pro- cessing system as a whole. The device does however contain a signal pro- cessing core in the feedback control unit which converts the instantaneous measure of the temperature into an ON/OFF trigger for the heating element. The physical nature of this unit depends on the temperature model: a sim- ple design is that of a mechanical device based on the dilation of a metal sensor; more likely, the temperature signal is a voltage generated by a ther- mocouple and in this case the matched signal processing unit is an opera- tional amplifier. -
GREECE Athens
EXPERT GUEST LECTURER Dear Member, It is with pleasure and excitement that I invite you to join me on a magical springtime journey to Greece and the Greek islands at the time of year when the entire country becomes a vast natural garden. Greece is home to a stunning number of plant species, comprising the richest flora in Europe. More than 6,000 species thrive here, of which about ten percent are unique and can be found nowhere else in the world. This is also the land that gave birth to the science of botany, beginning in the 4th century BC. Ancient Athenians planted the Agora with trees and plants and created leisure parks, considered to be the first public gardens. On this springtime journey we will witness the beautiful display of wild flowers that cover the land as we explore ancient sites, old villages and notable islands. We start in Athens, the city where democracy and so many other ideas and concepts of the Western tradition had their origins, where we will tour its celebrated monuments and witness its vibrant contemporary culture. From Athens, we will continue to Crete, home of the Minoans, who, during the Bronze Age, created the first civilization of Europe. Our three days on this fabled island will give us time to discover leisurely its Minoan palaces, see treasures housed in museums, explore the Dr. Sarada Krishnan is Director of Horticulture magnificent countryside and taste the food, considered to be the source of the widely-sought and Center for Global Initiatives at Denver Mediterranean diet. -
New Radiocarbon Dates and a Review of the Chronology of Prehistoric Populations from the Minusinsk Basin, Southern Siberia, Russia
RADIOCARBON, Vol 51, Nr 1, 2009, p 243–273 © 2009 by the Arizona Board of Regents on behalf of the University of Arizona NEW RADIOCARBON DATES AND A REVIEW OF THE CHRONOLOGY OF PREHISTORIC POPULATIONS FROM THE MINUSINSK BASIN, SOUTHERN SIBERIA, RUSSIA Svetlana V Svyatko1,2 • James P Mallory1 • Eileen M Murphy1 • Andrey V Polyakov3 • Paula J Reimer1 • Rick J Schulting4 ABSTRACT. The results are presented of a new program of radiocarbon dating undertaken on 88 human skeletons. The indi- viduals derived from Eneolithic to Early Iron Age sites—Afanasievo, Okunevo, Andronovo (Fedorovo), Karasuk, and Tagar cultures—in the Minusinsk Basin of Southern Siberia. All the new dates have been acquired from human bone, which is in contrast to some of the previous dates for this region obtained from wood and thus possibly unreliable due to old-wood effects or re-use of the timber. The new data are compared with the existing 14C chronology for the region, thereby enabling a clearer understanding to be gained concerning the chronology of these cultures and their place within the prehistory of the Eurasian steppes. INTRODUCTION The results of radiocarbon dating are of particular importance for the establishment of the chronol- ogy of cultures not recorded in written sources, as is the case for most of the cultures of prehistoric Southern Siberia. Some of the first 14C dates obtained for the prehistoric complexes of Southern Siberia (Scythian monuments of the Altai Mountain region) were published in Radiocarbon in 1965 (Butomo 1965), and since then the various aspects of the area’s 14C chronology have been presented and discussed in its pages (e.g. -
Commentary on the Significance for Modern Neurology of the 17Th Century B.C
THE CANADIAN JOURNAL OF NEUROLOGICAL SCIENCES SPECIAL FEATURE Commentary on the Significance for Modern Neurology of the 17th Century B.C. Surgical Papyrus Cathy M. Helgason ABSTRACT: A 17th century B.C. Surgical Papyrus known as "The Edwin Smith Papyrus" was published in facsimile and hieroglyphic transliteration with translation and commentary by James Henry Breasted in 1930. The Papyrus was acquired by Edwin Smith in Luxor, 1862. This document was conceived in the Pyramid Age (3000-2500 B.C.) and remains in material form from the 17th century B.C. It is of importance to the history of Neurology as it contains the earliest mention in oriental literature of (a) the brain and meninges (b) calvarial and cervical vertebral injuries in details of pathology, symptomatology, treatment and prognosis and (c) functional localization in the brain and spine. Most importantly, Papyrus Smith is a statement of the medical ethic of its time.

Insuring Museum Exhibitions By IRVING PFEFFER* Nature and Scope of Museum Exhibitions A museum is defined as "any permanent institution which con- serves and displays, for purposes of study, education and enjoyment, collections of objects of cultural or scientific significance."1 This definition includes: "(a) exhibition galleries permanently maintained by public libraries and collections of archives; (b) historical monuments and parts of historical monuments or their dependencies, such as cathedral treasuries, historical, archaeological and natural sites, which are officially open to the public; (c) botanical and zoological gardens, aquaria, vivaria, and other institutions which display living specimens; (d) natural reserves." 2 The operative words in the definition are conserves and displays. The conservation process may range from the massive accumulation of artifacts, by -the millions in the case of the Smithsonian Institution, to the relatively small, specialized collection in a local art museum. The display function is manifested by exhibitions of objects drawn from a museum's permanent collection or borrowed objects forming part of a temporary collection. -

For example, until the controversy as to the date of the eruption of the Thera volcano is settled, who can say whether Minoan Crete in the final phase of the New Palace Period in the mid-second millennium B.C. was in contact with the Hyksos from the Near East, who conquered the Nile Delta and much of Lower Egypt during the Second Intermediate Period which followed the Middle Kingdom in Egypt, or with the emergent Egypt of the New Kingdom. Similarly at issue is whether the vast trading network connecting Mesopotamia with Anatolia via the Assyrian Trading Colonies, with its links to Crete indicated by a number of very similar seal impressions found at Karahoyilk in Anatolia and in the Old Palace at Phaistos in Crete,`' is coterminous only with the Old Palace Period on Crete, or extends into the Knossos-centered New Palace Period as well. -

Cyberscribe 166 1 CyberScribe 166 - June 2009 In response to a request from an ARCE Chapter member, the CyberScribe is using a special bit of software to shorten the URL addresses…those long strings of letters and numbers that take you to a special website or news item. These complex web addresses are hard to type, prone to error and rather annoying. Miss even one letter, comma, period or backslash…and you will not get your desired reward. As indicated, there are ways to shorten them to human proportions. This month the CyberScribe will put in both types of URL addresses, and is asking that you try out the new, short versions and make sure that they actually work for you. In the items below, the standard URL will look exactly the same as it has in the past. This will be followed by another URL address with the prefix ‘SNIPURL’. Just copy the short string of letters and numbers that follow this label…and the program should effortlessly take you to the actual sources. For example. Here is a short version. ‘SNIPURL: http://snipurl.com/jnuff’. Enter the string http://snipurl.com/jnuff … ignore the ‘SNIPURL’ prefix…and you will get to your desired article with much greater ease! Let’s see how it works! There have not been very many new Egypt discoveries noted in the world press lately…at least not many that really seemed to count, but the CyberScribe will bring you a list of fun topics that may amuse and educate you a bit. One of the more important finds in recent months was announced recently by the University of Vienna (http://idw-online.de/pages/de/news316817) (SNIPURL: http://snipurl.com/jnuff) when they revealed the discovery of a very ancient cuneiform clay tablet. -
Reading 26-1: a Brief History of Spices
Reading 26-1 1 READING 26-1 Source: F. Rosengarten, Jr. 1969. The Book Of Spices, p. 23–96, Jove Publ., Inc., New York. A Brief History of Spices Ancient Egyptian and Arabian beginnings (from about 2600 BC) The fi rst authentic, if fragmentary, records of the use of spices and herbs may date from the Pyramid Age in Egypt, approximately 2600 to 2100 BC. Onions and garlic were fed to the one hundred thousand laborers who toiled in the construction of the Great Pyramid of Cheops, as medicinal herbs to preserve their health. A monument dedicated to the Egyptian pharaoh Sahure, dating from the 25th century BC, records the receipt of a great quantity of ebony, gold, and silver and eighty thousand measures of myrrh from the “land of Punt.” Later, when they became essential ingredients in the embalming process, cassia and cinnamon were imported to Egypt from China and Southeast Asia. To appease the gods of death, the bodies of important personages were preserved against decay by embalming, which involved cleansing the interior of the abdo- men and rinsing it with fragrant spices, including cumin, anise, marjoram, cassia, and cinnamon. The origin of perfumery is shrouded in obscurity, but the word perfume (per, through, and fumum, smoke) suggests that it was fi rst obtained by burning aromatic gums and hardened oozings from resinous woods such as bdellium, balsam, myrrh, and frankincense. These shrublike, thorny perennial desert trees and bushes grew for the most part in hot dry regions stretching from western India to central Africa. As un- pleasant odors were associated with evil, so were sweet clean scents linked with purity and goodness.
