To assist in the detection of spurious and the correction of inaccu- rate pedigrees, is one of the purposes of the present publication, in which respect the first Volume has been of acknowledged utility. The two together, it is hoped, will form a comprehensive and tole- rably correct Register of Pedigrees. It will be observed that some of the Mares which appeared in the last Supplement (whereof this is a republication and continua- tion) stand as they did there, i. e. without any additions to their produce since 1813 or 1814. — It has been ascertained that several of them were about that time sold by public auction, and as all attempts to trace them have failed, the probability is that they have either been converted to some other use, or been sent abroad. If any proof were wanting of the superiority of the English breed of horses over that of every other country, it might be found in the avidity with which they are sought by Foreigners. The exportation of them to Russia, France, Germany, etc. for the last five years has been so considerable, as to render it an object of some importance in a commercial point of view.

  • The Rise of Agricultural Civilization in China: the Disparity Between Archeological Discovery and the Documentary Record and Its Explanation
    SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS Number 175 December, 2006 The Rise of Agricultural Civilization in China: The Disparity between Archeological Discovery and the Documentary Record and Its Explanation by Zhou Jixu Center for East Asian Studies, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Chinese Department, Sichuan Normal University, Chengdu, Sichuan Victor H. Mair, Editor Sino-Platonic Papers Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia, PA 19104-6305 USA [email protected] www.sino-platonic.org SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS is an occasional series edited by Victor H. Mair. The purpose of the series is to make available to specialists and the interested public the results of research that, because of its unconventional or controversial nature, might otherwise go unpublished. The editor actively encourages younger, not yet well established, scholars and independent authors to submit manuscripts for consideration. Contributions in any of the major scholarly languages of the world, including Romanized Modern Standard Mandarin (MSM) and Japanese, are acceptable. In special circumstances, papers written in one of the Sinitic topolects (fangyan) may be considered for publication. Although the chief focus of Sino-Platonic Papers is on the intercultural relations of China with other peoples, challenging and creative studies on a wide variety of philological subjects will be entertained. This series is not the place for safe, sober, and stodgy presentations. Sino-Platonic Papers prefers lively work that, while taking reasonable risks to advance the field, capitalizes on brilliant new insights into the development of civilization. The only style-sheet we honor is that of consistency. Where possible, we prefer the usages of the Journal of Asian Studies.

  • Marco Schreck Beim „Mytos“ Ironman Hawaii
    Marco Schreck beim „Mytos“ Ironman Hawaii Kaliua Kona Hawaii heißt im Oktober das Ziel der Triathleten der ganzen Welt. Einmal dabei sein, beim schönsten, aber wahrscheinlich schwersten Ironman-Triathlon ist der Wunsch den alle Sportler haben die sich dieser Tortur, bestehend aus 3,8 km schwimmen im Pazifik, 180 km Rad fahren und 42 km laufen, stellen. Niemand konnte damals im Jahre 1978 ahnen was daraus einmal werden sollte, als Major John Collins und ein paar Freunde auf der Hawaii Insel Oahu sehen wollten, wer der bessere Sportler sei, der Schwimmer, der Radfahrer oder der Läufer. So machte er schließlich den Vorschlag den besten Sportler in einem Wettkampf zu ermitteln, der alle drei Disziplinen miteinander verbindet. So entstand aus dem 2,4 Meilen Waikiki Rough Water Swim, dem 112 Meilen Oahu Radrennen und dem Honolulu Marathon, der erste Ironman-Wettkampf. Insgesamt 15 Männer fanden sich am Start ein. Nur 12 von ihnen beendeten das Rennen. Der erste Sieger hieß, mit einer Zeit von 11:46 h, Gorden Haller. Später wechselte man auf die größere Insel Big Island, weil sich die Stadt Honolulu aus verkehrstechnischen Gründen nicht besonders gut eignete und die Teilnehmerzahl wuchs und wuchs. An keinem anderen Austragungsort muß man sich bei einem Ironman-Triathlon den elementaren Kräften wie Wasser, Hitze und den gefürchteten „Mumukuwinden“ so intensiv aussetzten wie beim Rennen auf Big Island. Auf der Schwimmstrecke durch den kristallklaren Pazifik macht man Bekanntschaft mit der Dünung des gewaltigen Ozeans. Auf der Radstrecke machen Wind und Hitze zu schaffen und beim abschließenden Marathonlauf sind die Athleten dankbar für jeden Schatten und Kühlung.

The astonishing longevity of these families was matched in remarkability only by their sudden and complete disap- pearance after the fall of the Tang at the turn of the tenth century. In their place, a new civil-bureaucratic scholar-elite came to the fore, an elite described in enormous detail first by Robert Hartwell and Robert I would like to thank the anonymous reviewers for their very helpful comments, as well as all of the participants in the 2007 AAS panel where I first presented this paper, notably the discussants Robert Hymes and Beverly Bossler.

    Purpose UNESCO is convening an experts meeting with educators and scholars speciali- zing in Holocaust issues to analyze various aspects of the relationship between Holocaust education and remembrance processes. The expert meeting will analyze how and why the genocide of the Jewish people has become a global reference for mass violence, as well as the challenges this entails in education. It will outline the role Holocaust Education can play in tackling difficult issues of the past in different national contexts and will explore ways to manage divisive and competitive memories through education.
