Is the European Migrant Crisis Another Stage of Hybrid War?
IS THE EUROPEAN MIGRANT CRISIS ANOTHER STAGE OF HYBRID WAR? Yurii Punda, Vitalii Shevchuk, Viljar Veebel Abstract: This article provides an overview of the roots of large-scale migration flows to the European Union (EU) during the past ten years. In addition, the article also explores the potential link between such migration flows and modern hybrid warfare, characterised by the coordination of various types of warfare (i.e. military and non-military means, conventional and non-conventional capabilities, state and non-state actors, etc.), all employed with an aim to cause instability and disorder. In the 2010s, the migration flows to EU countries increased significantly, particu- larly from the conflict areas in Syria, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, as well as from Albania, Kosovo and Ukraine. The analysis focuses on the question of whether the increase in migration flows could be linked to the ongoing confronta- tion between Russia and the West. Specifically, the article focuses on two particular cases: Syria and Ukraine. The article explores the commonalities of the resulting migration flows to the EU and proposes policy recommendations for reducing the negative impact of such events in the future. Keywords: migration, hybrid warfare, security, European Union, Ukraine, Syria 1. Introduction During the 2015 European migration crisis, an unusually large number of refugees flowed into the European Union. During the past decade, the number of first-time asylum applications submitted by non-EU citizens has increased exponentially, peaking in 2015–2016 when more than a million people from non-EU countries applied for asylum in the EU over the course of just one year (Figure 1(a)). -

As Joseph Pivato’s (2004) paper shows for Canada, Calabrians in the diaspora too have also given literary articulation to the migration experience and its consequences. Calabrian Australians constitute the second largest Italian regional group (the largest being the Sicilians) and according to community estimates currently number approximately 70000 of which about 38000 are Calabrian born. They have distinguished themselves in Australia mainly in the economic sector such as the many small businesses and the few large ones established by Calabrians while many of the second generation have experienced upwards socioeconomic mobility by entering the professions (solicitors, certified practicing accountants, doctors). -

Better Science - Where Is the Recent Warming?
Better Science - Where is the Recent Warming? Two Friends of Science members published the following letters in the Readers’ Forum section of the September 2012 issue of “The PEG Magazine”, the official publication of the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta (APEGA). HERE'S SOME BETTER SCIENCE Re: Online Denials Not Well Founded, by J. Edward Mathison, P.Geol., and Let's Get Back to Applying Science, by Joe Green, P.Eng., Readers' Forum, The PEG,April 2012. A return to the appropriate application of science would be most welcome. But how do we define Science? Since the 17th century a scientific method with accepted standards has developed. Researchers propose hypotheses as explanations of observed phenomena and design experimental studies to test them. Fundamental is the principle of full transparency, with data and methodology archived and shared so results can be verified and reproduced independently by other scientists. This has not been the pattern for the climatologists in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, who have shown a total disregard for these procedures by withholding data, refusing to reveal or discuss methodology, and essentially ignoring evidence contrary to their hypothesis. PhiI Jones of the Climate Research Unit of the U.K.'s University of East Anglia has not been forthcoming. Despite numerous freedom of information requests and enquiries, data and its associated methodology have not been fully released for independent due diligence. This is notwithstanding that this is the temperature data set presented as primary evidence of late 20th century warming, and the basis for draconian policy and taxation measures. -

Green Economy Or Green Utopia? Rio+20 and the Reproductive Labor Class
Green Economy or Green Utopia? Rio+20 and the Reproductive Labor Class Ariel Salleh University of Sydney [email protected] Sociologists use the concept of class variously to explain and predict people's relation to the means of production, their earnings, living conditions, social standing, capacities, and political identification. With the rise of capitalist globalization, many sociologists focus on the transnational ruling class and new economic predicaments faced by industrial workers in the world-system (see, for example, Robinson and Harris 2000). Here I will argue that to understand and respond to the current global environmental crisis, another major class formation should be acknowledged - one defined by its materially regenerative activities under "relations of reproduction" (Salleh 2010). The salience of this hypothetical third class is demonstrated by the 2012 United Nations Rio+20 summit and its official "green economy" negotiating text The Future We Want (UNCSD 2012). Clearly, the question that begs to be asked is - who is the "we" in this international document, and whose "utopia" does it serve? Part of the answer is found in a recent G20 media release, suggesting that "current high energy prices open policy space for economic incentives to renewables [...] investors are looking for alternatives given the low interest rates in developed countries, a factor that presents an opportunity for green economy projects” (Calderon 2012). The UN, together with the transnational capitalist class, looks to technology and new institutional architectures to push against the limits of living ecologies, and these measures are given legitimation as "economic necessity." Yet empirically, it is peasants, mothers, fishers and gatherers working with natural thermodynamic processes who meet everyday needs for the majority of people on earth. -

Radio Canada's
Friends of Science friendsofscience.org climatechange101.ca Press Release November 26, 2019 Radio Canada’s “Décrypteurs” Climate Fail (CALGARY) Friends of Science Society have issued a letter to Radio Canada condemning recent coverage of the CLINTEL “No Climate Emergency” declaration as poor and biased journalism. On Nov. 23, 2019, fact-checkers at Radio Canada’s “Décrypteurs” claim to have deconstructed the list of scientists who issued the Climate Intelligence - CLINTEL “No Climate Emergency” declaration to the UN. A larger group of CLINTEL signatories and expanded scientific explanation was presented on Nov. 20, 2019 to the European Parliament, as reported by the Global Warming Policy Foundation. Radio Canada’s fact-checking team claim few of the CLINTEL signatories are climate scientists, but this is a term which only came into use about 2005. It is irrelevant in the complex field of climate where physicists, atmospheric scientists, geoscientists, astrophysicists, oceanographers, volcanologists and chemists among others, all have input to and understanding of climate change science. Radio Canada relies on information from the International Fact Checking Network (IFCN). IFCN certified “Climate Feedback” as an accurate source to evaluate such climate news, but it is really a group of self- interested scientists who issued a disrespectful and fact-fail review of the CLINTEL ‘No Climate Emergency” document, as detailed in this Friends of Science rebuttal. While the “Décrypteurs” claim some CLINTEL signatories are not scientists, it is ironic that CBC/Radio Canada regularly report on Al Gore’s climate proclamations and give headline coverage to Greta Thunberg, neither of whom are climate scientists and both of whom are engaged in a global carbon offset promotion scheme. -
Renaissance Receptions of Ovid's Tristia Dissertation
RENAISSANCE RECEPTIONS OF OVID’S TRISTIA DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Gabriel Fuchs, M.A. Graduate Program in Greek and Latin The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Frank T. Coulson, Advisor Benjamin Acosta-Hughes Tom Hawkins Copyright by Gabriel Fuchs 2013 ABSTRACT This study examines two facets of the reception of Ovid’s Tristia in the 16th century: its commentary tradition and its adaptation by Latin poets. It lays the groundwork for a more comprehensive study of the Renaissance reception of the Tristia by providing a scholarly platform where there was none before (particularly with regard to the unedited, unpublished commentary tradition), and offers literary case studies of poetic postscripts to Ovid’s Tristia in order to explore the wider impact of Ovid’s exilic imaginary in 16th-century Europe. After a brief introduction, the second chapter introduces the three major commentaries on the Tristia printed in the Renaissance: those of Bartolomaeus Merula (published 1499, Venice), Veit Amerbach (1549, Basel), and Hecules Ciofanus (1581, Antwerp) and analyzes their various contexts, styles, and approaches to the text. The third chapter shows the commentators at work, presenting a more focused look at how these commentators apply their differing methods to the same selection of the Tristia, namely Book 2. These two chapters combine to demonstrate how commentary on the Tristia developed over the course of the 16th century: it begins from an encyclopedic approach, becomes focused on rhetoric, and is later aimed at textual criticism, presenting a trajectory that ii becomes increasingly focused and philological. -
