  • Russian Atrocities in Asia and Europe During the Months
    RUSSIAN ATROCITIES IN ASIA AND EUROPE DURING THE MONTHS OF JUNE, JULY, AND AUGUST 1877. CONSTANTINOPLE PRINTED BY A. H. BOYAJIAN 1877. A collection of various official and private telegrams respecting the atrocities committed by the Russians in Asia and Europe during the months of June, July, and August 1877. Series Editor’s Notes Russian Atrocities in Asia and Europe is an unsophisticated work. In the book the Ottoman Government simply printed reports from officials and individual Muslims who had suffered in the 1877-78 Russo-Turkish War, with little editorial comment. It is thus a valuable historical document, although it cannot have been of much use as propaganda. The book contains numerous misspellings and grammatical infelicities. Only the most obvious misspellings of ordinary words have been corrected. Names and descriptions often appear in the text in more than one form. For example, the Turkish form of the name Muhammad, Mehmet, appears as Mehemmed, Mehemed, Mehemet, and Mehmed. The meanings of these are obvious and have been left unchanged. Spellings and definitions that are not obvious are listed below. Abaxes (Abhaz) natives of the Eastern Black Sea region forced from their lands by the Russians and settled in the Ottoman Empire araba wagon, drawn by horse, donkey, or water buffalo Arnautlu Albanian bashi bozouk (başı bozuk) irregular soldier, drawn from the populace in time of war. caïmakam (kaymakam) head official of a district (division of a sancak) Circassians natives of the Eastern Black Sea region forced from their lands by the Russians and settled in the Ottoman Empire muderris (müderris) head teacher in a Muslim religious school mudir (müdür) official in charge of a sub-district, mayor mutessarif (mutassarıf) official in charge of a sancak (division of a province) seraskier (serasker) commander-in-chief of the army Tatars natives of the Crimea, forced from their lands by the Russians and settled in the Ottoman Empire zaptieh (zaptiye) gendarme zeïbek (zeybek) infantryman PREFACE.

  • Fladdermusfaunan I Dalarna Sammanställning Av Inventeringar Åren 2008-2010 Fladdermusfaunan I Dalarna
    Fladdermusfaunan i Dalarna Sammanställning av inventeringar åren 2008-2010 Fladdermusfaunan i Dalarna Sammanställning av inventeringar åren 2008-2010 Vattenfladdermus (Mytois daubentonii). Foto: MaryAnn Fargo Författare: MaryAnn Fargo Kontaktperson: Urban Gunnarsson 2 Förord Fladdermöss är en mytomspunnen djurgrupp som ofta associeras till allt från sagor och svart magi till hårdrock och vampyrer. Trots att en fjärdedel av Sveriges däggdjursarter är fladdermöss har informationen länge varit knapphändig, men kunskaperna om fladdermöss har ökat avsevärt under de senaste 20 åren. Detta beror till stor del på så kallade ultraljudsdetektorer, vilka omvandlar fladdermössens högfrekventa läten till för oss hörbara ljud. Fladdermöss är goda indikatorer på hur den biologiska mångfalden utvecklas i t.ex. jordbruks-, skogsbruk- och speciellt i kulturlandskapet eftersom sällsynta och hotade arter ofta finns i gamla hävdade marker och byar. Fladdermössen kan kopplas till miljömålsarbetet via flera miljömål t.ex. Ett rikt odlingslandskap, Myllrande våtmarker, Ett rikt växt- och djurliv, Levande skogar samt God bebyggd miljö. Syftet med inventeringarna i länet har varit att kartlägga vilka arter som finns, var de finns, samt att få kunskap om de värdefullaste områdena. Totalt har nio arter konstaterats i länet: nordisk fladdermus, mustaschfladdermus, brandts fladdermus, vattenfladdermus, långörad fladdermus, dvärgfladdermus, stor fladdermus, gråskimlig fladdermus och fransfladdermus. Fransfladdermusen är rödlistad som sårbar och Dalarnas län har ett särskilt ansvar att bevara arten. Inventeringarna, som ägt rum somrarna 2008, 2009 och 2010, har finansierats med medel från åtgärdsprogrammet för hotade arter. Inventeringarna har utförts av Sofia Gylje Blank och Henrick Blank från Noctula samt Alexander Eriksson och Emilie Nilsson från Ecocom. Länsstyrelsen i Dalarnas län, 2012 Stig-Åke Svenson Enhetschef, Naturvårdsenheten.

He had great challenges as communication with the municipality's management group was inadequate. This because the manager did not himself have a chair in the management group. Major challenges for the client both in building up his own organization after poor work by the predecessor. He were a young and ambitious person who experiences a lot of frustration when he could not implement the development strategies that were decided in the management group. “The coaching with Ingela gave me several new perspectives and solutions to my challenges. Her way of approaching me as a client instilled confidence and her general knowledge and knowledge of the HR area gave an even deeper dimension in coaching.

  • Division IV, Dalarna
    Färnäs Sportklubb 1955-1956. (Text Lars Kjell, Dala-Demokraten. Gunnar Axelsson Dalarnas Fotbollsförbunds årsmötesprotokoll 1955). Lika oroande som IK Brages utgångsläge tedde sig våren 1955 lika betryggande ter det sig efter avverkad höstomgång i 1955-1956 års serie. Efter en segersvit som saknar motstycke i lagets historia leder Dalalaget division II Svealand med 20 poäng, 6 poäng före närmaste lag, IK City. IK Brages höstspel har endast medfört en förlorad match och det är nog inte att hänge sig åt någon överdriven optimism, att redan nu anse en plats säkrad för allsvenskt kval. Våromgången, den optimism vi hade anledning ge tillkänna i föregående årsberättelse, med anledning av IK Brages fina höstomgång i 1955-1956 års division II, visade sig välgrundad och Borlänge laget kunde utan att ha varit allt för allvarligt hotat hålla undan i tabellen och gå till allsvenskt kval. Spelordningen i kvalificeringsmatcherna fastställdes efter offentlig radiolottning, varvid IK Brage parades med segrarlaget i östra götalandsgruppen, IFK Malmö. Första matchen spelades på Domnarsvallen i Borlänge, där i runt tal 11 000 åskådare fick se skåningarna triumfera med matchens enda mål, till yttermera visso inspelat under tilläggsminut strax innan domarens pipa gick för full tid. Trots det snöpliga matchslutet – eller kanske tack vare – reste IK Brage till returmatchen med verklig segerglöd och drog sig inte för att på Idrottsparken i Malmö ta ledningen med 2-1. Bladet vände sig emellertid och när den anmärkningsvärt dramatiska matchen var till ända stod siffrorna 2-2, vilket innebar att rikets tredje stad med ett nödrop fått ett andra lag i högsta serien. Division IV, Dalarna.

It focuses primarily on the activities of the Russian Second Army - a force quartered in the southern regions of the Russia and designated to conduct military operations against the Ottoman Empire in Europe. Under the leadership of General P. D. Kiselev, the General Staff of this army conducted a thorough research of previous Russo-Turkish wars (1711-1812) and integrated the lessons of these campaigns into a new strategic and tactical doctrine. Ultimately, this research was to result in the formulation of an innovative new Turkish war plan which proposed that the Russian army, for the first time in its history, cross the Balkan mountain range and march on Constantinople.

  • EU-Russia Review Oct2007.Pdf
    FOREWORD One of the main issues the EU Russia Centre seeks to promote is the importance of the EU speaking with one voice towards Russia. Politicians, diplomats, officials and others all agree with this aim. Yet the EU rarely manages to achieve a united position, let alone articulate one towards its large eastern neighbour. The EU- Russia summit at Samara on 30 May 2007 was an example of the Union speaking as one, but it came from a defensive position, not a coherent, positive, forward- looking approach. One of the main reasons for the EU’s failure to speak and act as one towards Moscow is the very substantial number of bilateral relationships that many member states enjoy with Russia. This is most apparent in the energy sector where in recent times there has been a rush to sign a plethora of bilateral energy deals with Russia. But the bilateral relationships go far beyond the energy sector, touching recent history, political and parliamentary contacts, trade and investment, the influence of diasporas, language, media, education, science and culture. This study by the EU Russia Centre is a unique attempt to examine the bilateral relations of all 27 member states with Russia. It is hoped that knowledge of these relationships will lead to a greater understanding of the problems in trying to reach a common EU position. Bilateral relations will continue in many areas, not least because the EU cannot claim ‘competence’ across the board. But there are areas where the Union could be much more effective if it were able to speak with one voice.
