	Sample Chapter for Ballinger, P.: History in Exile: Memory and Identity at the Borders of the Balkans.
		As in the case of the Istrians I examine, the Greek and Macedonian examples deal with former refugees for whom the condition of exile has become permanent and for whom the moment of displacement proves central to historical consciousness.
		One Istrian Italian esule, a sixty-year-old retired schoolteacher born in the Istrian town of Parenzo/Porec and today residing in the Italian port city of Trieste, insisted on her italianità, or pure Italianness.
		Istrians' alternate and complementary usage of archaeological and illuminist imagery when talking about the past highlights the Julian March's interstitial location and the ways in which both contemporary Istrians and exiles who settled in Trieste continue to live in the long historical shadow cast by the postwar exodus.

	Istria on the Internet - Agriculture - Crops - How to Make Rakija
		Istrian rakija / trapa is made from the husks and seeds (dropini; must) that are left over from the wine-making process.
		When it comes to making herbal rakija the important thing is the proportion of different herbs so that all of them can be tasted and none of them is dominant over the others.
		Our elders did not have a precision scale to weigh these herbs but they knew from experience how to mix them to perfection.

	Adriatic Circulation Experiment - Field Reports
		A contrast in surface waters—on the eastern side of the basin, clear, blue water and near the Po delta (western side) surface waters were green and murky, a combination of high phytoplankton content and suspended inorganic material.
		To compensate for the lack of broad scale context, we chose to occupy a set of sections spanning the northern and central basins (north of the Jabuka Pit).
		Preliminary examination indicates that most of the EAC turns to follow the northern flank of the Jabuka pit, bounded by what appears to be a strong, anti-cyclonic circulation lying to the north.

		But the Istrians claim that it is Falla's Rock, the holiest place of their fire goddess Falla, and to set foot on the Rock carries grave penalties.
		Caught by two Istrian elders atop their sacred rock, Katla does not at first realize that the penalty for a woman to touch Falla's Rock is death by burning.
		Istrian women are kept veiled, and he is fascinated by the sight of this strong, bare-faced woman.

		The Istrian region of Croatia, where the project is located evolved over the centuries as a favorite idyllic retreat leaving an extremely rich legacy of architectural and artistic treasures.
		The construction of archives of such a dimensional scale as that proposed for the new NAA headquarters implied a substantial impact on the urban and social fabric of the surrounding areas and of the city.

	The intangibility of multiculturalism
		The Istrian modus… can be defined as an articulate and unique system of historical, ethnic, cultural and linguistic shades that marks and determines the specific quality of Istria in relation to most of Croatian, but also many other European areas.
		By the way, the candidature named "Istrian ethnomusicological microcosm" is not rejected by UNESCO, but there are some open issues to clarify (which should be done by the author of the text of the candidature) and some visual material has to be completed.
		It seems that for cases as illustrated by the Istrian example, neither the state frame of evaluation nor UNESCO "isolated islands' archipelago" concept of culture is appropriate.

		Abbreviation for International Temperature Scale of 1990, a temperature scale approved by the International Committee for Weights and Measures at its annual meeting in September 1989.
		The value for the fixed points on the ITS-90 scale and the instruments and interpolation equations to be employed for the measurement of temperature are described in a text to be published in the Journal Metrologia, early in 1990.
		Although the impact of the new temperature scale on ocean temperature measurements and their climatology is likely to be small (or even negligible), unfortunately this is not true for its knock-on effects.

		But, returning to Istria, after the first documentary attestation of Pinguente, there was mentioned another settlement at Buie in 1449, and in the same period, according to the Annals of the Venetian Senate, results that the Venetians openly encouraged the settlement of Vlachs on their Dalmatian dependencies known as "Morlachia".
		The depopulation of Istria, caused by the invasions of 1412 and the pestilence plague of 1427 and 1466, encouraged the arrival in the Istrian peninsula of Morlachs, Wallachians and Uskok peoples who were inhabiting the inland and who started to be denominated collectively as "Cici".
		Yet, as if holding one of this stones in the palm, it was fanciful to speculate as to what an incision on the Istrian “emerald” would reveal to the eye: layers of history, landscapes, and above all buzz of the Istrian humanity moving around.

		Istrian earth is lush and fertile, and fields of crops stretch between clusters of toffee-coloured cottages.
		Silent hamlets freckle the countryside; some have only one or two inhabitants, elderly now, sons and lovers long gone, some to the war, some to work on the busy coastal strip.
		The villages may play host to tourist coaches by day, but nothing on the scale of Provence or Tuscany; by late afternoon they have settled back into a peaceful languor, with only the odd quiet bar, serving menestra (an Istrian take on minestrone soup) and cevapcici (meatballs) to locals and a few stray tourists.

		Brucci's musical language rooted deeply in the soil of the rich musical traditions of the music of Balkans in its broadest sense - from the unique Istrian scale system to be heard in the Third Symphony to the omnipresent Bulgarian rhythm structures in his symphonic poem Mascal.
		Next to this background, one can notice a successful fusion with the experiences of the achievements of new musical languages, with the special interest in dodecaphonic techniques as well as compositional techniques and aesthetics employed by the composers of New Polish School.
