A little to the south of Sparta and opposite the hamlet of Psychiko, at the point where the Magoula river runs into the Eurotas, the hills on the left or eastern bank of the latter approach quite close to the river. These hills, which stand high above the plain, have long been identified with those on which, according to Polybius, the Menelaion stood, and as the site of Therapnai. In fact the statements of this author and of Livy make it practically certain that these are the hills in question. They were first explored by Ross in 1833, and he claimed as the shrine of Helen and Menelaos the building that he began to excavate on the principal peak close to the modern chapel of Hagios Elias, and directly above the Eurotas. No other Greek building has yet been found on these heights, so that we may for the present assume with considerable probability that this one, discovered by Ross, is the shrine of Helen and Menelaos mentioned by Herodotus and Pausanias.

Upon Sheet 339 (Devonshire) of the new Geological Survey maps, one instance out of the very numerous outcrops of igneous rocks thereon indicated proves to be of unusual interest by reason of its peculiar constitutional modifications in different parts of the same mass. The rockin question occurs about four and a quarter miles 15° north of west from Newton Abbot, near to the hamlet of Bickington, within the limits of a farm named Lurcombe. It is an intrusive amidst the shales and grits of the Culm, occurring almost on the junction-line between that series and the Devonian, whose massive limestones and volcanics dominate it in elevation within a quarter of a mile on the south-east.

AbstractIn 2000, a reunion of 'Eurocrats' founded the Brotherhood of Brussels in honour of the Virgen del Rocío and became quickly integrated in the official network that foments the devotion to the South Spanish Virgin Mary. Soon after, a pilgrimage trail was inaugurated that links the basilica of Brussels to her chapel in the hamlet of El Rocío: the Camino Europeo del Rocío. The pilgrimage passes through eight major Marian sanctuaries in Belgium, France, and Spain. In each of these sites, a representation of the Virgen del Rocío was put in place by the official institutions. In 2007, ten pilgrims actually walked the trail. Once in Madrid, they changed the original track and inaugurated two additional sanctuaries without the consent of the main organizer of the original camino. As such, a variant came into existence: the Camino Europeo del Rocío a pie. The creation of these two 'European' pilgrimage trails shall be documented together with the founding process of the brotherhood of Brussels. The manner in which local political and ideological agendas interfere with the intertwining of old traditions and institutions, such as pilgrimages and Brotherhoods, and new emerging conceptions of 'Europe,' shall thereby be put to the fore.

 AbstractDesignation and using of clan in South Sumatra can be traced by recognizing subethnic in Uluan and iliran, South Sumatra. This study aims to describe naming of name’s clan traditional title in South Sumatra people in ethnolinguistic study. The object of this research is naming of clan and ethnic title in its use of South Sumatra society. The problems in this research are: (1) What are names of the clan and the name of the title in the South Sumatra community?, and (2) How to use names of clans and titles do of present South Sumatra society? This research uses descriptive method. Based on the study in the field, the result of the study concludes that the inhabitants of South Sumatra originated from three mountainous centers, namely, Ranau Lake, Basemah Highlands, and Rejang areas. The three mountain centers are better known as Seminung, Mount Dempo, and Mount Kaba. The spread of these three tribal clans is the source of ethnic groups in South Sumatra. They occupy a certain location and the boundaries we later know in the name of the hamlet and cluster into the shape of the umbul, gutters or jungle. Umbul, talang, and sosokan are the forerunners of Marga that we know now. AbstrakPenyebutan dan penggunaan marga di Sumatera Selatan  dapat ditelusuri dengan mengenali sukubangsa di uluan dan iliran, Sumatera Selatan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan penamaan marga dan gelar adat pada orang Sumatera Selatan dalam kajian etnolinguistik. Objek penelitian adalah penamaan marga dan gelar adat berdasarkan pada penggunaannya di masyarakat. Permasalahan dalam penelitian ini adalah: (1) Apa saja nama-nama marga dan nama gelar pada masyarakat Sumatera Selatan? dan (2) Bagaimana penggunaan nama marga dan nama gelar pada masyarakat Sumatera Selatan sekarang ini? Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif. Berdasarkan kajian di lapangan diperoleh hasil bahwa penduduk uluan Sumatera Selatan bermula dari tiga pusat pegunungan, yakni sekitar Danau Ranau, Dataran Tinggi Basemah, dan daerah Rejang. Ketiga pusat pegunungan itu lebih dikenal dengan nama Seminung, Gunung Dempo, dan Gunung Kaba. Penyebaran ketiga rumpun suku bangsa inilah yang merupakan sumber dari kelompok-kelompok etnis di Uluan Sumatera Selatan. Mereka menempati lokasi tertentu dan batas-batasnya di kemudian hari kita kenal dengan nama dusun dan mengelompok ke dalam bentuk umbul, talang, atau sosokan. Umbul, talang, dan sosokan inilah cikal-bakal dari marga yang kita kenal sekarang.

Cyclic Variations

AbstractLong-term cyclic variations in the distribution of prominences and intensities of green (530.3 nm) and red (637.4 nm) coronal emission lines over solar cycles 18–23 are presented. Polar prominence branches will reach the poles at different epochs in cycle 23: the north branch at the beginning in 2002 and the south branch a year later (2003), respectively. The local maxima of intensities in the green line show both poleward- and equatorward-migrating branches. The poleward branches will reach the poles around cycle maxima like prominences, while the equatorward branches show a duration of 18 years and will end in cycle minima (2007). The red corona shows mostly equatorward branches. The possibility that these branches begin to develop at high latitudes in the preceding cycles cannot be excluded.
