The San Carlos Education Foundation (SCEF) is a nonprofit fundraising organization that helps the San Carlos School District provide a well-rounded public education for all students. We work in partnership with parents and the community to support core and innovative programs vital to an exceptional education. Your Donation to SCEF Funds: Smaller Class Size in Library & Literacy Music, Language & Other Counselors Grades K–3 Programs Middle School Electives in All Schools Music in Field Trips Technology Staff Innovation Elementary Schools & Equipment Why Support SCEF? The San Carlos community is committed to equity among all of our public schools. Since 1982, the parent-led San Carlos Education Foundation (SCEF) has worked to raise funds to ensure essential school programs are maintained for all of our students. Unlike other states where localities decide how much to allocate to education, in California per-pupil funding is determined at the state level. Unfortunately, these funds are not sufficient to ensure a well-balanced, quality education for our students. In the late 1970s, Proposition 13 and various legal rulings limited a community’s ability to tax its residents to pay for schools. Our property taxes, as high as they are, no longer stay in San Carlos. California funding for education has dropped from the top 5 in the nation to 32 in 2016–17. Funding from the state provides only bare-bones education for our children. For 36 years, San Carlos parents, businesses, and community members have stepped forward to help fill this gap. In 2017–18, because of this generosity, the Foundation donated more than $2.4 million to our schools. This represents approximately 6% of the District’s annual budget to provide support for essential programs. Your donation makes a difference for every child, every day in every classroom. 2 Message from Our Superintendent The San Carlos School District (SCSD) has made significant progress and experienced changes over the past several years and the San Carlos Education Foundation (SCEF) has been integral and constant in the implementation of a communi- Michelle Harmeier ty-based vision for learning for our students.

  • Pisidia Bölgesi'nde Seleukoslar Dönemi Yerleşim Politikaları1
    Colloquium Anatolicum 2015 / 14 s. 160-179 TEBE KONFERANSI Pisidia Bölgesi’nde Seleukoslar Dönemi Yerleşim Politikaları1 Bilge HÜRMÜZLÜ2 |160| 1 Hakeme Gönderilme Tarihi: 30.11.2015; kabul tarihi: 09.12.2015. 2 Bilge HÜRMÜZLÜ, Süleyman Demirel Üniversitesi, Fen Edebiyat, Arkeoloji Bölümü, TR 32600 ISPARTA; [email protected]. Keywords: Seleucid, Apollonia, Seleukeia, Antiokheia, Neapolis At the end of the Ipsos War (301 bc), Antigonos was definitely defeated; and his territory was shared by the allies, Lysimakhos, Seleucia and Ptolemaios. The Seleucid dominance in the area became definite, as generally accepted, with the Curupedion War (281 bc). Even though the established Seleucid Dynasty brought an end to the Diadochi Wars, it is understood that power struggles continued in the region for many more years as a result of the Galatian invasions that took place in different periods, further wars and insurgencies (Özsait 1985: 45-51; Vanhaver- beke – Waelkens 2005: 49-50). In the broadest sense, Seleucids ruled their land through a wise policy where they allowed local people to implement their own policies in daily affairs, and as we encounter numerous samples in several territories they ruled, they founded significant colonies at strategically important sites in the northern Pisidia. These colonies were located at geopolitically critical places where they could control road and trade networks of Phrygia and Lycia-Pamphy- lia. Within the borders of Pisidian Region, there were four colony cities (Antiocheia, Apollonia, Seleucia and Neapolis), which were probably established in different periods. Apart from the |161| poleis founded during the rule of Seleucids, it was discovered in the field studies that there were relatively smaller settlements in the area, some of which even date back to earlier periods.

  • Gill's Exposition
    COMMENTARIES EXPOSITION OF THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS GENESIS by John Gill Thou hast given a standard to them that fear thee; that it may be displayed because of the truth — Psalm 60:4 The Baptist Standard Bearer, Inc. Version 1.0 © 1999 2 GENESIS INTRODUCTION TO GENESIS This book, in the Hebrew copies of the Bible, and by the Jewish writers, is generally called Bereshith, which signifies “in the beginning”, being the first word of it; as the other four books of Moses are also called from their initial words. In the Syriac and Arabic versions, the title of this book is “The Book of the Creation”, because it begins with an account of the creation of all things; and is such an account, and so good an one, as is not to be met with anywhere else: the Greek version calls it Genesis, and so we and other versions from thence; and that because it treats of the generation of all things, of the heavens, and the earth, and all that are in them, and of the genealogy of men: it treats of the first men, of the patriarchs before the flood, and after it to the times of Joseph. It is called the “first” book of Moses, because there are four more that follow; the name the Jewish Rabbins give to the whole is hrwt yçmwj hçmj, “the five fifths of the law”, to which the Greek word “pentateuch” answers; by which we commonly call these books, they being but one volume, consisting of five parts, of which this is the first.

  • The Route of Paul's First Journey to Pisidian Antioch
    New Test. Stud. , pp. –. Printed in the United Kingdom © Cambridge University Press doi:10.1017/S002868850999004X The Route of Paul’s First Journey to Pisidian Antioch MARK WILSON University of South Africa, Pretoria, South Africa email: [email protected] The route of Paul’s first journey between Perga and Pisidian Antioch is still dis- puted. This article examines the three alternatives proposed by scholars. It explores the geographical and historical evidence for each route, looking especially at the extensive road system that existed in Pamphylia, Pisidia, and south Galatia in the first century. Bible atlases routinely depict one route and the reasons for this choice are discussed. Based on a review of the evidence, a fresh hypothesis for the route of the first journey is suggested. Keywords: Paul’s first journey, Perga, Pisidian Antioch, Via Sebaste, Roman roads, Acts .; . Introduction The routes that the apostle Paul took on his journeys across Asia Minor still remain in dispute. A case in point is the route of Paul’s first journey from Perga (Πέργη) to Pisidian Antioch. Scholars have suggested three possible routes with variations for this journey. Two of these routes are routinely depicted in Bible atlases, often with little awareness of the ancient road network or the topo- graphy of the area. On a popular level, the recent opening of the St Paul Trail in southern Turkey has also stirred up interest in the route of Paul’s first journey. Although the St Paul Trail does not follow the ancient routes exactly, Kate Clow’s experience in preparing the new path has provided fresh insights into the region’s history and topography.

  • THE TALE of SAINT ABEBCIUS. the Chief Authority for the Life of This
    THE TALE OF SAINT ABERCIUS. 339 THE TALE OF SAINT ABEBCIUS. THE chief authority for the life of this saint is the biography by Symeon Metaphrastes, written about 900-50 A.D. It quotes the epitaph on the saint's tomb, and the question whether this epitaph is an original document of the second century A.D., or a later forgery, is one of the utmost importance for the early history of the Christian church, and of many literary points connected with it. The document is not very easily accessible, so that it may be well to quote it as it is given in the Life by Metaphrastes; the criticism of the text has been to a certain extent advanced by the metrical restorations proposed by Pitra and others.1 'E/icXe/eTr;? iroXeas •jroXirrj^ TO'8' eirouqaa ^a>i>, Xv e%co iecupq> <TU>f*aTO<; ivddSe Bicnp, TOVVO/M A/8ep«tos d we /AadrjTT]?
