At the time of writing it I deliberately confined it to a game which is essentially British and as a result its publication was timed to coincide with one of the five "test matches" which are an annual summer feature in this country. However I was aware that these postmarks covered many more sports than cricket and so I have decideH- ro expand the original article to in­ clude all sports as I thought that this would appeal to a wider section of SPI readers. The story starts with a quote from Alcock and Holland's book, "The Postmarks of Great Bf itain and Ireland", which reads "on numerous occasions such as race meetings, cricket matches etc., the Post Office gives facilities on the spot for xh: sending of telegrams, special stamps being used by the temporary office". N.B. "Special stamps", in this case refers to handstamp cancellers. This quote is confirmed by my own experience so far as cricket grounds are concerned, because of the examples known to me as being in collectors hands, with the exception of two on plain paper, all are used on higher value postage stamps ranging in value from sixpence to five shillings. A further quote, this time from the "Philatelic Adviser", puts a date to the origins of such cancellations: "A special events Telegraph Staff from the Central Telegraph Office in London was formed and sent to attend to and cope with telegrams, press reports etc., when the local office personnel were unable to do so on special occasions. This branch of the service commenced in 1870, and the staff was paid full wages plus an extra sevenpence an hour." 1 This has brought me to the conclusion that these sporting ground post­ marks were only inc tided to bdused to cancel stamps affixed to telegram application forms; but in the normal course of • vents such items do not reach the public. So far as I know it is, and always has been, the policy of the Post Office to destroy and repulp such documents. On this point I hazard a guess that someone on the inside saw a chance of enriching his own and other stamp collections with used higher values which would not be easily come by in the normal course of events. I do not think that the fact it was a sporting ground postmark which was the attraction - I may be wrong. If this is correct it explains the scarcity of these postmarks in collect­ ors hands because only one example of each date for known cricket post­ marks is in existence as far as I am aware. I should however amplify this statement by saying that in some cases the example is on a block of stamps and there is more than one cancellations on the block. For example Bradford Cricket Ground "JU 23 1902", is on a block of sixteen Edward the seventh one shilling stamps and bears seventeen strikes in varying degrees of clarity. (I bet the clerk had a job finding room for that lot on the telegram application form.) Before writing the original article in the British stamp magazine I had several months previously written a letter to the magazine on the subject of cricket ground postmarks which was published under "Readers Letters". In it I asked for information about Cricket Ground postmarks with a view to making a comprehensive list of them. The correspondence and interest which this letter generated was very gratifying and not only did I learn of the existence of the postmarks I was asking about but in addition infor­ mation was volunteered about other postmarks such as Hull Football Ground and various Racecourses. I was also reminded about one fruitful source of information which I had neglected to explore — the General Post Office postmark proof books, which are housed in the Post Office Records in London. Anyrate as a result of this information I subsequently made three visits to G.P.O. Records and ploughed through numerous books of postmark proofs. I was essentially looking for cricket ground postmarks but I had made a note of other sporting venues which I had come across. After I had completed the tast I came to the conclusion that racecourse grand­ stand postmarks were by far the most numerous and I think that I came away with a list of about 50 of them. (Incidentally readers might be inter­ ested in the service which the British Post Office provides at their Records Office. The proof books, which are open for inspection by postal v'storians, are really bound books of photocopies and upon payment of a ee researchers can be provided with photocopies of any pages which they equire.) I must at this point sound a word of warning. I know of one collector of cricket in this country who likes to try and find out what event was taking place on the date of these postmarks. He has in some cases met unexpect­ ed obstacles. For example cricket is a summer game yet one postmark is dated 19th February, 1898. It is obvious that the ground must have been used on that occasion for something other than cricket but no amount of reference to old newspapers and the like has so far revealed what event had taken place on that date. Then again the date on postmarks illustrated in the proof books is invariably the day on which the canceller was sent to the postmaster of the he ad office of the area in which the ground is situated. So that date will not reveal any event taking place at the ground either. Now as to the postmarks themselves I have found that they can be divided into three structural types as follows: Type 1 (Sport Ground Type 2 (Sport Type 3 (Postal at bottom) Ground at top) District at bottom) SPORTS PHILATELISTS INTERNATIONAL PRESIDENT-.

  • Sports India and World
    SPORTS INDIA AND WORLD World Cup Cricket History The idea of organising a World Cup of cricket was mooted and agreed to in principle in 1971 when such a proposal was discussed at a meeting of the International Cricket Conference in London. However, due to various commitments the tournaments could not be staged until 1975 when the original plan of a South African team's visit to England fell through following opposition to the country's racial policy. England's Prudential Assurance Company came forward with sponsorship and for three consecutive years - 1975, 1979 and 1983, the one-day limited overs cricket tournament was held in England. It became famous as the Prudential Cup. In the first two tournaments, apart from the six full members of the International Cricket Conference (England, Australia, West Indies, New Zealand, India and Pakistan), Sri Lanka, before being elevated to Test status in 1981, had joined East Africa in 1975 and Canada in 1979 (two top teams among the associate members) to complete the groups in the tournaments proper. The West Indies, under Clive Lloyd, not only won the first two tournaments in 1975 and 1979 but in true Calypso style they produced sparkling cricket and confirmed their unassailable supremacy in this game. India broke the West Indian stranglehold in 1983 to open a new chapter in the brief annals of this prestigious tournament.

  • Olympic Culture in Soviet Uzbekistan 1951-1991: International Prestige and Local Heroes
    Olympic Culture in Soviet Uzbekistan 1951-1991: International Prestige and Local Heroes Sevket Akyildiz Introduction Uzbekistan was officially established in 1924 by the victorious Bolsheviks as part of a larger union-wide „Soviet people‟ building project. To legitimate and consolidate Moscow‟s rule the southern, largely Muslim, Asian territories (including Uzbekistan) were reorganized under the national delimitation processes of the 1920s and 1930s. Establishing the Soviet republics from the territory formerly known as Turkestan was based upon language, economics, history, culture and ethnicity. Soviet identity building was a dual process fostering state-civic institutions and identity and local national (ethnic) republic identity and interests. The creation of the national republics was part of the Soviet policy of multiculturalism best described a mixed-salad model (and is similar to the British multicultural society model). (Soviet ethnographers termed ethnicity as nationality.) Uzbekistan is situated within Central Asia, a region that the Russians term “Middle Asia and Kazakhstan” – some Western authors also term it “Inner Asia”. Uzbekistan stretches south-east from the Aral Sea towards the Pamir Mountains, and shares borders with Afghanistan (137km), Kazakhstan (2,203km), Kyrgyzstan (1,099km), Tajikistan (1,161km), and Turkmenistan (1,161km). The climate is continental, with hot summers and cold winters. The Uzbeks are a Turkic-speaking people largely Turkic (and Mongol) by descent - and predominately Sunni (Hanafi) Muslim by religious practice. Between 1917 and 1985 the population of Uzbekistan rose from approximately 5 million to 18 million people. However, Uzbekistan was a Soviet multicultural society, and during the Soviet period it contained more than 1.5 million Russian settlers and also included Karakalpaks, Kazakhs, Tajik, Tatars, and several of Stalin‟s deported peoples.

  • Athletics, Badminton, Gymnastics, Judo, Swimming, Table Tennis, and Wrestling
    INDIVIDUAL GAMES 4 Games and sports are important parts of our lives. They are essential to enjoy overall health and well-being. Sports and games offer numerous advantages and are thus highly recommended for everyone irrespective of their age. Sports with individualistic approach characterised with graceful skills of players are individual sports. Do you like the idea of playing an individual sport and be responsible for your win or loss, success or failure? There are various sports that come under this category. This chapter will help you to enhance your knowledge about Athletics, Badminton, Gymnastics, Judo, Swimming, Table Tennis, and Wrestling. ATHLETICS Running, jumping and throwing are natural and universal forms of human physical expression. Track and field events are the improved versions of all these. These are among the oldest of all sporting competitions. Athletics consist of track and field events. In the track events, competitions of races of different distances are conducted. The different track and field events have their roots in ancient human history. History Ancient Olympic Games are the first recorded examples of organised track and field events. In 776 B.C., in Olympia, Greece, only one event was contested which was known as the stadion footrace. The scope of the games expanded in later years. Further it included running competitions, but the introduction of the Ancient Olympic pentathlon marked a step towards track and field as it is recognised today. There were five events in pentathlon namely—discus throw, long jump, javelin throw, the stadion foot race, and wrestling. 2021-22 Chap-4.indd 49 31-07-2020 15:26:11 50 Health and Physical Education - XI Track and field events were also present at the Pan- Activity 4.1 Athletics at the 1960 Summer Hellenic Games in Greece around 200 B.C.

  • Ethics and Sport in Europe Drugs, Extremism and Other Forms of Discrimination It Is Currently Facing
    SPORTS POLICY AND PRACTICE SERIES Defending ethics in sport is vital in order to combat the problems of corruption, violence, Ethics and sport in Europe drugs, extremism and other forms of discrimination it is currently facing. Sport refl ects nothing more and nothing less than the societies in which it takes place. However, if sport is to continue to bring benefi ts for individuals and societies, it cannot afford to neglect its ethical values or ignore these scourges. The major role of the Council of Europe and the Enlarged Partial Agreement on Sport (EPAS) in addressing the new challenges to sports ethics was confi rmed by the 11th Council of Europe Conference of Ministers responsible for Sport, held in Athens on 11 and 12 December 2008. A political impetus was given on 16 June 2010 by the Committee of Ministers, with the adoption of an updated version of the Code of Sports Ethics (Recommendation CM/Rec(2010)9), emphasising the requisite co-ordination between governments and sports organisations. The EPAS prepared the ministerial conference and stepped up its work in an international conference organised with the University of Rennes, which was attended by political leaders, athletes, researchers and offi cials from the voluntary sector. The key experiences described in the conference and the thoughts that it prompted are described in this publication. All the writers share the concern that the end result should be practical action – particularly in terms of the setting of standards – that falls within the remit of the EPAS and promotes the Council of Europe’s core values.

    “ANYTHING BUT WHITE”: EXCAVATING THE STORY OF NORTHEASTERN COLONOWARE A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Keri J. Sansevere May 2019 Examining Committee Members: Paul Farnsworth, Advisory Chair, Department of Anthropology Patricia Hansell, Department of Anthropology Seth Bruggeman, Department of History Richard Veit, External Member, Monmouth University, Department of History and Anthropology © Copyright 2018 by Keri J. Sansevere All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT The study of historic-period pottery cuts across many disciplines (e.g., historical archaeology, material culture studies, American studies, art history, decorative arts, fine arts). Studies of historic pottery with provenience from the United States are largely centered on fine-bodied wares, such as porcelain, white salt-glazed stoneware, creamware, pearlware, whiteware, ironstone (or white granite), and kaolin smoking pipes. These wares share the common attribute of whiteness: white paste and painted, slipped, or printed decoration that typically incorporate the color white into its motif. Disenfranchised groups had limited direct-market access to these wares due to its high value (Miller 1980, 1991). White pottery was disproportionately consumed by White people until the nineteenth century. This dissertation examines colonoware—an earth-toned, non-white, polythetic kind of coarse earthenware. Archaeologists commonly encounter colonoware in plantation contexts and believe
