	9,000 Year Old Chinese Flutes - Nature Article
		Jiahu lies in the 'Central Yellow River Valley'3 in mid-Henan Province, east of Mount Funiu and bounded by the flood plains of the Ni river to the south and the Sha river to the north.
		If this range of dates is borne out by subsequent research, then Jiahu represents a Neolithic cultural phase distinctly earlier at its inception than the Peiligang culture, where the dates of many of the sites range from 5100 BC to 6300 BC3,4,5.
		On the basis of these dates, and considering the repertoire of ceramic shapes and stone tools1, we would tentatively characterize Jiahu as a culture parallel to, overlapping in duration, and very possibly related to, the Peiligang.

	Entrance to the shrine of the Minoan Snakegoddess, Crete, Cretan religion
		PO-TI-NI-JA The most apparent characteristic of Minoan religion was that it was polytheistic and matriarchal, that is, a goddess religion; the gods were all female, not a single male god has been identified until later periods.
		Some large bronze examples of this, the most common of all Minoan religious symbols, were clearly used as tools, but miniature specimens in unsuitable and sometimes precious materials (e.g.
		There are numerous representations of goddesses, which leads to the conclusion that the Cretans were polytheistic, while others argue that these represent manifestations of the one goddess.

		In fact, the rise of the Celtic culture at the headwaters of the Danuvius coupled to the spread of the Celtic people and their language along the rivers of the north and west of Europe gives rise to an elegant impression that the Celts were the People of the Rivers.
		In the nineteenth century at Mullach an Triuir: Three Graveyards on St. John’s Eve and Alban Heruin: Midsummer Eve villagers climbed Cnoc Áine hill with cliara: torches of hay and straw tied to poles, and prayers were said to ensure fertility and health.

	~ D'ni Time ~
		We are continually working on a better understanding of the D'ni language and culture so that we may continue to translate the timeline we have in our possession.
		The D'ni viewed the arrival to earth as a new beginning, of sorts, and marked the event with a blank year.
		The Great King established the fact that earth was the permanent home for the D'ni and their home of old was no longer something to be thought of ever returning to.

	AFF's Brainwash :: Chris Roach :: Communism: Not Good in Theory
		There was not the shame of manual labor, as there is in Arab culture; working-class guilds took pride in their work and in their group identity.
		Church, guild, local lord, king--all of these loci of power counter-balanced one another and prevented any one authority from getting too powerful.
		Europe's success in history has a lot to do with its class divisions and divided authority.

	Ulster-Scots Agency
		BBC Northern Ireland screens a special series of programmes marking the anniversary of Robert Burns and celebrating Ulster-Scots culture on Wednesday, January 25.
		In Iver Hantin Echas on BBC TWO NI at 8pm, James Fenton, author of an acclaimed study of Ulster Scots, celebrates the link with the past through his poetry, carefully crafted work that acknowledges a debt to James Orr, the jewel of the ‘weaver poets’, working men who wove with yarn as well as words.
		Producer Chris Spurr is known for his work on the BBC Radio Ulster series ‘A Kist o Wurds’, and he sees this programme as an important departure for BBC Northern Ireland: “This is our first television documentary using Ulster Scots as the main speech medium.

		Israel has won the contest three times, most recently in 1998 when Dana International performed the song "Diva." The other Israeli winners were Izar Cohen and Alpha-Beta with the song "A-ba-ni-bi" (1978) and Gali Atari and Milk & Honey with Hallelujah (1979).

	Ancient East Asia: Korean Journals
		The ages of most pottery cultures with Songgung-ni pattern are estimated around the 10th century BC using radiocarbon dating, so this study focuses on the period from the 15th to the 10th centuries BC.
		First, it is not appropriate to understand specific material cultures as only the representation of the existence of an ethnic group, or the reflection of social features in a political unit.
		Because of diffusionist preconceptions and the concerns of political history, the similarity of material cultures over wide geographical regions in Asia was interpreted as a migration of specific ethnic groups or a political relationship between more than two states.

		The Little Dark Rose, Kathleen ni Hoolihan, Shemaa La Hyra, Mary Hynes, Kartch Leh Reer, the Silk of the Kline, and a dozen more names were given to the beloved country that lived in a sort of...disguise.
		In the opening years of the new, the 19th century, a young Protestant gentleman, a graduate of Trinity College and the son of an eminent Dublin doctor, was preparing yet another ill-starred rising against British rule that was to end, as he was fully aware it must end, in disastrous defeat and death.
		Indeed, what remained in Ireland itself of Gaelic culture, had gone as you might say, on the run.

		The 'O'Hooligan abu' of my title simultaneously refers to the violation of Gaelic culture, the stereotyping of the Irish as violent atavists, and the complexities - in 1898 and in 1998 - of steering between the systematic pejoration of Irish barbarism and the romanticization of reactive violence.
		OhUallachain abu!, Ni Houlihan/Hooligan forever!) as part of a systematic attempt to expunge Gaelic collective memory and rival political will.
		My paper examines the contrastive cults of rebellion encoded in two fin-de-siecle popular works that variously commemorate the O'hUallachain clan: W.B. Yeats's Kathleen Ni Houlihan and a rowdy Australian come-all-ye, 'The Hooligans'.

		Aufi narrates in detail the interesting incident illustrating the high sense of justice displayed by the greatest Chaulukya king Siddhraja Jayasimha (1094 -1143) visa-a-vis the Muslim population of Khambhat, evidently the Iranian emigres.
		This episode is quoted in the Elliot and Demson's History of India as told by its own Historians, which forms the basis of the incident described at length by the late Kanayya Lal M. Munshi in his historical novel Patan-ni-Prabhuta.
		Incidentally, we have evidence of merchants and travellers to and from Gujarat (as also from Deccan) using Hormuz port until the 18th century as has been shown by me in a couple of articles.

		The Zigomar incident in this way helped define a central problem which would face authorities and social leaders with regard to the motion pictures for some time: how to control an alluring but elusive visual mode of signification that was resistant to the regulation of the written or spoken word.
		Maeda Ai cites this passage as evidence that "the desire and anticipation for moving images was subconsciously prepared for in the experience of gento itself": "Sakariba ni eigakan ga dekita, " Koza Nihon eiga, eds.
		The recognition of this unique problem was reflected in the police's reaction to the incident.

	The Sailors Who Fell From Grace with the Sea- by Justin Raimondo
		Just as Japanese intellectuals sought to bury the history of the Shinpuren Incident as something shameful, an example of "Japanese fanaticism and irrationality," so, said Mishima, they failed to understand that the action of the youth at Tokyo airport was also a "strikingly pure act of resistance," a symbolic protest against the price of modernity.
		It was the occasion of the final struggle between the two principal factions of the Japanese armed forces: the Kodo-ha, or Imperial Way faction, which favored going to war with the Soviet Union; and the Tosei-ha or "Control" faction, which wanted to strike south against the British, French, and other European colonialist powers.
		Wherever national culture seeks to regain its totality, almost insane incidents occur.

	Mapping Jewish Culture in Europe today: a pilot project
		Across Europe, the national importance of the restoration of lost Jewish cultural life is increasingly acknowledged as people come to realize the significant influence that Jewish communities have exerted on European history, in both local and national spheres.
		Moreover, this importance has been given official European Union recognition: the 1987 resolution of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe recognized 'the very considerable and distinctive contribution that Jews and the tradition of Judaism have made to the historical development of Europe in the cultural and other fields'.
		Such funding came predominantly from community centres, city councils, national ministries and business corporations such as banks, airlines, the press and other companies.

		Example from the various indigenous highland epics, as well as from the Ilocano Biag ni Lam-ang, illustrate this.
		The hero usually requests his female relative to open a chest containing his magical clothes and ornaments as in Biag ni Lam-ang: Dear Mother, Namongan / Please open / the second cabinet / and bring out / my most beautiful clothes...
