Forget the nightclub—or don't. These Vegas spas will bring you back to life either way.
Sure, Vegas has a reputation for debauchery, but when it comes to honeymooning in Sin City, these OTT Las Vegas spas make the case for more than just booze-fueled nights on the town. Believe it or not, the four-mile-long Las Vegas Strip is home to tons of world-class resorts that are all about wellness. (There's even a Canyon Ranch inside the Palazzo.) Looking to indulge in daily deep-tissue massages? Test out an authentic Turkish-bath-style hammam for the first time? Relax your body from the inside out with a soothing hydrotherapy circuit? Whether you want to undo the damage from the night before or just while away the entire day in a soothing environment, there are tons of Las Vegas spas that will help you unwind and relax. And isn't that what honeymoons are all about?
The Cosmo is the resort of choice for both bachelorette groups and honeymoon couples. Stepping into the 50,000-square-foot spa is like finding your own desert oasis: The walls are done in textured sandstone that ripples like sandy dunes; the halls are accented with waterfalls that cascade from the ceiling. Step into the ultimate couples' treatment room—the $95-an-hour spa penthouse—you'll really find nirvana. The space comes with its own steam room, side-by-side hydrotherapy tubs, wet bar, and relaxation lounge.
Treatment to book: The Moroccan Journey starts in the 1,200-square-foot hammam, where you'll be cleansed with black neroli soap and exfoliated with a shea butter bamboo scrub and traditional Kese mitt, before receiving a detoxifying rhassoul clay masque and Kalahari melon hydrator. The treatment also includes a relaxing stint in the eucalyptus steam roam and soaking tub, followed by a full-body signature Sahra Massage.
While most Las Vegas spas are loaded with bells and whistles, Mandarin Oriental's boutique space is all about exclusivity and authenticity. The dark woods, gray marble, and pops of jewel-tone colors channel an Asian vibe in line with the brand's provenance, while the traditional, formal service (all treatments start with a Chinese foot ritual) and gorgeous hammam steam room (with lights that glisten off the mosaic tiles) feel ultraluxe. The best part of any treatment, though, is when you end up in the calming Laconium Room, complete with contoured heated benches and breathtaking views of the Las Vegas Strip.
Treatment to book: The Journey into Stillness treatment is all about tuning out the noise of the city—and of life. From the foot ritual and scrub to start to the specialized face and scalp massage (using acupressure points) to the full-body massage (that incorporates healing tourmailine crystals and sound therapy), this treatment will without doubt induce a deep state of relaxation.
ESPA is all about results-driven treatments using all-natural products, so expect a soothing, intimate vibe at this two-floor spa. Therapists are extensively trained in the ESPA techniques—and their hard work pays off when you're able to customize your own wellness journey based on their assessment of your holistic needs. Don't miss the signature hydrotherapy circuit (called the "European heat experiences"), which rotates you through hot and cold tubs, a steam, a sauna, and ice room, for rapid temperature changes that are incredibly therapeutic.
Treatment to book: On the Rocks is a 110-minute chakra-balancing treatment that begins with body brushing and an exfoliating body polish, followed by a calming massage using essential oils and volcanic stones, and a facial and scalp massage using ESPA's signature Hair & Scalp Mud.
If you've ever visited a spa that specializes in water-based therapies (Turkish, Greek, Roman baths, for instance), then you'll appreciate this 50,000-square-foot facility inside Caesars Palace, which takes its inspiration from the ancient Roman traditions of relaxation. With its cascading waterfalls, 51 treatment rooms, three opulent Roman baths, Crystal Body Art Room, tea room, and Arctic Ice Room (where snow literally falls from the ceiling)—Qua is what a Vegas superspa is really all about. And with the opening of the Nobu Hotel inside Caesars, Qua also has an exclusive Nobu spa menu, which incorporates Asian therapies and further classifies this spot as one of Vegas's most all-encompassing wellness destinations.
Treatment to book: The 90-minute Nagomi Ritual (on the Nobu spa menu) begins with a traditional Japanese foot bath and includes a facial and full-body massage that incorporates Thai, Balinese, and shiatsu therapies.

In music history, the Roman School was a group of composers of predominantly church music, in Rome, during the 16th and 17th centuries, therefore spanning the late Renaissance and early Baroque eras. The term also refers to the music they produced. Many of the composers had a direct connection to the Vatican and the papal chapel, though they worked at several churches; stylistically they are often contrasted with the Venetian School of composers, a concurrent movement which was much more progressive. By far the most famous composer of the Roman School is Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, whose name has been associated for four hundred years with smooth, clear, polyphonic perfection. However, there were other composers working in Rome, and in a variety of styles and forms.

History and characteristics

While composers had almost certainly been working in Rome continuously for the thousand years since the time of Gregory the Great, the development of a consistent style around the middle of the 16th century, due in part to the musical requirements of the Counter-Reformation, led to their being grouped together by music historians under this single label.

The music of the Roman School can be seen as the culmination of a development of polyphony through the infusion of music of the Franco-Netherlandish school during the last hundred years. Franco-Netherlandish composers had long been coming to Italy to live and work—Josquin, Obrecht, Arcadelt, and many others made the long journey, and their musical style was decisive on the formation of the Italian styles. Under the guidance of the Vatican, and with the Sistine Chapel Choir being one of the finest of the time, it was perhaps inevitable that the stylistic center of sacred polyphony would turn out to be Rome.

The Council of Trent, which met from 1545 to 1563, had a significant impact on the music of the Roman School: indeed it can be argued that these reforms in the Roman Catholic Church, which were part of the Counter-Reformation, defined the music of the Roman School. The Council of Trent recommended that sacred music, especially for use in church, be written in a dignified, serious style. The Council allowed polyphony—a common misconception is that they banned it outright, but this is false—however they did require that text which was sung be clearly understandable. In addition, while they did not ban the use of secular melodies as source material for masses and motets, such use was discouraged.

The combination of the reforms of the Council of Trent with the presence of the extremely talented composers inheriting the Franco-Netherlandish style, was the production of a body of music which has sometimes been held to represent the peak of perfection of Renaissance polyphonic clarity. The subject matter of "16th Century Counterpoint" or "Renaissance Polyphony" as taught in contemporary college music curricula is invariably the codified style of the Roman School, as it was understood by Johann Fux in the early 18th century. It is important to recognize, though, that the "Palestrina style" was not the only polyphonic style of the time, though it may have been the most internally consistent. The polyphonic style of Palestrina may have been the culmination of a hundred years of development of the Franco-Netherlandish style, but it was one of many streams in the late 16th century, and significantly contrasts with the music of the Venetian school to the north, as well as the music being produced in France and England at the same time.

Other composers living and working in Rome, while not considered members of the Roman School, certainly influenced them. The most famous of these is probably Luca Marenzio, whose madrigals were wildly popular in Italy and elsewhere in Europe; some of the composers of the Roman School borrowed his expressive techniques, for instance word painting, for occasional use in a liturgical setting.

While the Roman School is considered to be a conservative musical movement, there are important exceptions. Rome was the birthplace of the oratorio, in the work of Giovanni Francesco Anerio and Emilio de' Cavalieri; the score for Cavalieri's Rappresentatione di Anima, et di Corpo is the earliest printed score which uses a figured bass. The style is similar to the style of monody being developed in Florence at approximately the same time; indeed there was considerable competition between composers in those two musical centers. The success of Rappresentatione was such that the monodic style became common in much Roman music in the first several decades of the 17th century.

Later composers of the Roman School included Gregorio Allegri, composer of the famous Miserere (c.1630). This piece was guarded closely by the papal chapel; it was considered so beautiful that copies were not allowed to circulate. A favorite story involves the 14-year-old Mozart, who made the first illegal copy by transcribing it from memory after hearing it only twice. Many of the later composers of the Roman School continued to write in the polyphonic style of the 16th century, known then as the stile antico, or the prima pratica, in distinction to the newer styles of monody and concertato writing which defined the beginning of the Baroque era.

Composers
Members of the Roman School, including some who were active in Rome for only part of their careers, are as follows:

 Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina (c1525–1594)
 Tomás Luis de Victoria (1548–1611)

 Marc'Antonio Ingegneri (c1545–1592)
 Giovanni Maria Nanino (1543–1607)
 Emilio de' Cavalieri (c1550–1602)
 Annibale Stabile (c1535–1595)
 Giovanni Dragoni (c1540–1598)

 Francesco Foggia (1604–1688)
 Annibale Zoilo (c1537–1592)
 Bartolomeo Roy (c1530–1599)
 Giovanni de Macque (c1550–1614)
 Johannes Matelart (before 1538–1607)

Farmers "are now dumping milk into the ditches" because of a trade dispute with Canada
— Chris Collins on Friday, April 28th, 2017 in an interview with Bloomberg
New York farmers close to dumping milk over Canadian trade dispute
By Dan Clark on Thursday, May 18th, 2017 at 9:09 a.m.
Dairy producers in New York fear the worst over a trade dispute with Canada. (Mark Mulville/Buffalo News)
You're not supposed to cry over spilt milk -- unless you're a dairy farmer in upstate New York.
Rep. Chris Collins says a trade dispute with the Canada has forced New York state farmers to dump their milk "into ditches" because they can no longer sell it across the border.
"They've now taken something they call ultra-filtered milk. They effectively with a pricing move, our dairy farmers are no longer able to get that product into Canada," Collins said in an interview with Bloomberg. "They are now dumping milk into the ditches. The travesty there is beyond belief to see tankers of milk being dumped because there's no market to sell them in."
The dispute began last year when the Canadian dairy industry created a new pricing class for ultra-filtered milk, a protein-heavy version of the milk you buy at the supermarket. It's typically used to produce yogurt and certain cheeses.
The new pricing class lowered the price of ultra-filtered milk from Canadian dairy producers, making it cheaper for companies in Canada to buy the product domestically instead of importing it from New York state. The new pricing class took effect at the beginning of April.
Both Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and President Donald Trump have criticized Canada for the action, saying it hurts the state's dairy industry.
But is Collins right that the dispute has forced farmers to dump milk into ditches?
Dairy processors
A spokesman for Collins' office could not point to any farms that have dumped milk because of the trade dispute, but did say the congressman was talking about farmers in New York state.
There are two major processing facilities in New York state that export ultra-filtered milk to Canada: Cayuga Milk Ingredients in Auburn and O-AT-KA Milk Products in Batavia.
O-AT-KA is mostly supplied by Upstate Niagara Cooperative but also receives milk from Dairy Farmers of America. Cayuga Milk Ingredients, itself a cooperative, receives milk from 30 local dairy farms.
The cooperatives are responsible for marketing their members' milk to processors and elsewhere. If a member's product has to be dumped, the loss is spread across all members of the cooperative instead of an individual farmer.
Craig S. Alexander, vice president for dairy ingredients and regulatory affairs at O-AT-KA, said no milk from Upstate Niagara Cooperative has been dumped because of the Canada issue.
"We haven't dumped any milk yet," Alexander said. "However, it's an evolving situation and the milk supply hasn't peaked seasonally yet so it's really week to week to see if we can make ends meet."
Alexander says the dispute could lead to a loss of $20 million for the company if it's not resolved.
Dairy Farmers of America did not reply to our inquiry.
The situation is similar in Auburn.
"We've been close to dumping but we've been able to manage it," said Kevin Ellis, CEO of Cayuga Milk Ingredients. "I'm responsible for marketing the milk, and I've been able to effectively market it."
Ellis says the trade dispute threatens $30 million of its annual sales to Canadian markets, about 25 percent of total revenue.
The New York Farm Bureau, the Northeast Dairy Producers Association, the Northeast Dairy Foods Association, the American Dairy Association Northeast, and the state Department of Agriculture did not know of any farmers dumping milk because of the problem.
Dumping data
Some milk has been dumped in the Northeast.
Neither the state nor federal Departments of Agriculture tracks how much milk is dumped by state, but federal data shows the amount of milk dumped in a specific region. In the region that includes part of upstate New York and other states in the Northeast, 44.8 million pounds of milk were dumped in the first three months of this year, about 40 percent of the total milk dumped in the U.S. during that time. That's more than twice the amount of milk dumped in the first three months of last year, but still less than 1 percent of the milk produced in the region.
The numbers include more than just milk that was dumped because it couldn't be sold. It includes milk dumped in all circumstances, like milk used for animal feed.
Dumping milk is rarely a total loss for farmers. Processors will often take the cream from milk to sell, leaving only the skim part to be dumped. When processors have no demand for any part of the milk, cooperatives will dump the extra product.
But there are rules for how this is done. State regulations require farmers to dispose of excess milk by either adding it to their manure storage structure or by directly applying it to fields to recycle the nutrients. Any dumping that may lead to a waterway, like a ditch, would be a violation of the state Environmental Conservation Law.
Collins said farmers "are now dumping milk into the ditches" because of a trade dispute with Canada.
The Canadian dairy industry's new pricing for ultra-filtered milk affects dairy processors and farmers in upstate New York, but we could not find any who have dumped their milk because of the trade dispute. It has been more difficult for dairy producers to find a market for their product for the last few years because of a persistent milk glut in the United States.
Collins points out the dispute has made it harder for processors to bring milk to market. Indeed, farmers might begin dumping their milk soon if the trend continues. But we found no evidence, and he has not provided any, that it has happened yet. We rate his claim False.

Ong: No flying vehicle in new car project
THERE is no mention of a flying vehicle in the discussion of the upcoming national car project, says Deputy International Trade and Industry Dr Ong Kian Ming.
He said it was "naughty" of Khairy Jamaluddin (BN-Rembau) to imply that the government was building flying vehicles when he shared a screengrab of a draft document in the review of the National Automotive Policy on Twitter.
"This is part of a presentation which the ministry gave to the automotive industry as part of our stakeholder engagement in the Review of the National Automotive Policy," Ong told a press conference at the Parliament lobby yesterday.
On Tuesday, Khairy was caught by surprise to find "flying vehicle" listed among the key points of the National Automotive Policy review.
The shadow Finance Minister shared a picture of the report, circling the area of concern with bright purple, on his official Twitter account on Tuesday evening, tagging Dr Ong in a succinct tweet: "Seriously, YB @imokman?"
Dr Ong clarified that the document was only a draft and provided for discussion purposes only.
"In the disclaimer, it clearly stated that the information contained herein is subject to change and does not commit the government of Malaysia," he said.
He added that in the same consultative document, the discussion on the new national car project also focused on new technologies, including anticipating a Next Generation Vehicle, which will be an energy-efficient vehicle.
"The inclusion of a discussion on flying vehicles is to address the need for standards and regulations should there be a demand for application of such technology by the automotive industry in the future.
"Our ministry is committed to having consultations and discussions with important stakeholders on the review of the National Automotive Policy which will focus on the entire automotive sector, including the supply and value chains," he said.
"It is unfortunate that the Rembau MP chose to highlight one small reference to a nascent technology for the purpose of standard setting in the discussion document rather than to give attention to a larger challenge at hand, which is how to develop and grow the entire automotive landscape.
"We are always appreciative of any feedback to concrete suggestions from Khairy or anyone from the opposition bench."

College and university is a time for learning, experimentation and growth, but also about life and responsibility. There are over 2 million students enrolled in full-time and part-time higher education programs across Canada, many of them making key decisions about their lives, professional goals, schedules, time, and money management for the first time. So why do universities offer a "branded" credit card? If you have no job, no money and are incurring student debt you would think the last thing you should do is "get a loan".
Unlike credit card companies, students and parents both realize the importance of building solid financial habits, the cornerstone of which is the need to establish control and accountability without jeopardizing financial independence.
This notion has led to a dramatic increase in the use of prepaid cards for University, College and even High School campuses across North America. Here are four reasons why these cards benefit students of all types.
Prepaid cards make it easy to establish an effective level of control over spending. Prepaid cards have built-in spending limits. Once that limit is reached, further spending is prevented until additional funds are deposited onto the card.
The card is convenient and easy to use. An added benefit is that it fits easily into the student lifestyle. College life is fast-paced, and no student wants to be burdened with a checkbook or repeated trips to an ATM or bank branch. The fact that the prepaid card enhances mobility is a definite plus for students.
The card can be used for purchases both on campus and off, and also doubles as a form of student ID, especially when personalized with a picture. Even university alumni can use the card for interest free payments, donations back to their institution (can be tied to loyalty), or simply stay in touch.
With the rise of popularity of prepaid cards, many universities are working with local businesses to forge new merchant rewards programs. This means that businesses on or near the campus express a strong desire to have students spend their money locally. Utilize discounts and loyalty rewards to drive students to a variety of local merchants.
Using a prepaid card helps build good money habits. Over time, it helps teach students how to budget their money without having to incur debt.
With all these benefits, it's easy to see that a prepaid card is the ideal way for students and their parents when it comes to handling money and controlling spending. As for prepaid cards, their mobility, flexibility, security and ease of use make them the perfect financial vehicle for students.

It is mandatory for guests to inform the hotel at the time of the reservation if they are staying with children, as well as their exact age, in order for the hotel to make the appropriate room arrangements.
The only slight downside is that the location of the hotel is rather remote.
Compare to our stay three years ago, this time we were accommodated in a far end of the resort so it was quite far from the beach and main half-board resto (before there were two of those) where dinner was served. Therefore we switched to the ala-carte for better convenience with two small children and quality.
Food at the buffet included in the half board. The salads were excellent but the main courses were generally dry, over cooked and lacking. Breakfasts were good though only 4* (no fresh prepped eggs or omelettes for example). Very limited light lunch options, although there were nice restaurants a relatively short walk away in the town.
Kids club activities only for toddlers until about 5-6year olds, kids club staff not very engaging, no attractive activities for preteens. Shop poorly stocked.
Nice villa with private pool, very friendly and helpful staff, good restaurants, good food, good spa.
Nothing - couldn't fault it!
One of the best hotels we've ever stayed in. Incredible service, beautiful views, fantastic facilities - cannot recommend this hotel enough!!! We will definitely be returning!
All facilities in the resort are very spread out so you need to ring for a golf cart to take you everywhere. We found this rather annoying as we prefer to move around independently. You also need a car to get to any of the nearby towns. Also, we had an issue with our room flooding which was eventually dealt with, but took about half a day. They eventually agreed to give us a new room as the smell from the flooding was terrible, but it took some convincing for them to do this. At a 5 star resort we would have expected better service.
We stayed in a two bedroom villa with private pool. The room was very comfortable and the resort facilities were extensive. Breakfast buffet was also excellent.
The restaurants of the hotel are quite pricey.
We loved the friendly and forthcoming staff. Everything is very child-friendly, the hotel has its own crèche and baby-sitting is available. We especially enjoyed the bar and restaurant at the private beach.
Rooms are completely different to the photos posted. Food on the beach is crap.
This is only a minor comment but the restaurant selection was a little uninspiring. Other than the buffet restaurant, there is nowhere you can get an authentic Greek meal in the evenings. The food certainly wasn't bad but it also wasn't outstanding. The breakfast buffet has all the options you would expect of a five star hotel but the quality wasn't always there. The room service options are also a little bit limited for lunch. It would have been great to have a few more light lunch options (the only real sandwich on offer is a triple decker club sandwich which was nice but quite heavy). There are lots of good restaurant options in nearby Plaka or Elounda which is only an 8 Euro and short taxi ride away from the hotel.
We had an amazing stay at Domes of Elounda. The suites looked just like the photos and travelling with a toddler, it was great to have a bedroom and a completely separate sitting room. The bathroom was accessible from both the living and the bedroom which is very convenient when your toddler is sleeping. The balcony also was accessible from both rooms and we had an amazing view of Spinalonga (the first room we were allocated overlooked the lobby and the view was obstructed by palm trees but the management were amazing at rectifying this and giving us a selection of rooms to choose from). The creche was absolutely amazing! All the staff are highly qualified with lots of experience and they were great at making our son feel at ease and he happily went to the creche each morning. They also offer evening babysitting for a very reasonable 12 Euros an hour. This meant we had lots of time as a family but also were able to spend some time together as a couple knowing our son was happy. The beach is fantastic with young kids. The beach was sandy and the water is very shallow and there are no waves. This might make it a bit boring for older kids but for young kids it's a very safe beach which means we could relax without having to worry about our toddler. We will definitely be going back.
Suites were too close together. Breakfast was not very good. For the price I was paying I would expect more. Also half board meal plan did not include drinks even water. Which was a bit ridiculous considering they charge you 4€ per bottle of still water. In room pool should be heated as the water was too cold to enjoy.
My room was very nice. A la carte restaurants were pretty good. Very clean facilities. Staff were very pleasant. View from suite was very good.

Although I wanted to be a Foreign Service Officer, the United States State Department denied me the opportunity to achieve my dream because of my gender and disability. I have to admit that I was furious.
Despite this disappointment, I later became a spy during World War II, and many among the enemy considered me the most dangerous spy of all.
I established resistance units and trained them to fight the enemy. I helped escaped prisoners of war and airmen who were shot down. I helped get weapons and money to resistance groups and reported enemy movements. My units derailed trains, downed phone lines, destroyed bridges, and killed and captured hundreds of the enemy.
The enemy's secret police wanted desperately to stop me. They tried to track my radio signals, but I stayed on the move, and they never captured me.
The enemy called me "the limping lady." My wooden leg with an aluminum foot was heavy, weighing more than seven pounds, but I found ways to disguise it and my limp. For a while, I dressed up as an elderly woman and walked with a shuffle to avoid being detected.

NORCROSS, GA (April 17, 2018) -- Skyjack, Inc. has introduced a new compact telescopic handler for the rental industry that features the high-torque, 75hp, Tier-4-Final DEUTZ TCD 2.2 L3 diesel engine. Both the Skyjack SJ519 TH telescopic handler and the DEUTZ engine made their North America debuts at the recent 2018 ARA Rental Show in New Orleans.
"With the Tier 4 Final deadline less than a year away, it's important that manufacturers install engines that not only meet Tier 4 standards, but also offer simple maintenance and optimal performance at a reasonable cost," said Steve Corley, chief sales officer for DEUTZ Corporation. "This is particularly important in the equipment rental industry. Based on our successful TCD 2.9 Series – which Skyjack uses in many of its other telescopic handlers – our new TCD 2.2 L3 uses a DVERT® oxidation catalyst (DOC) that enables maintenance-free operation under all application and ambient conditions for Tier 4."
All DEUTZ 75hp TCD engines are able to provide high levels of torque that compensate for their lower horsepower, which is particularly useful for load-lifting machines like telescopic handlers. As a result, the new Skyjack SJ519 TH telescopic handler can raise heavy loads and travel safely over rough terrain.
"Our goal is to produce and sell machines that combine reliability, outstanding performance and top value," said Malcolm Early, vice president of marketing for Skyjack, Inc. "We've previously chosen DEUTZ engines for other Skyjack telescopic handlers.. Now, we're confident that the TCD 2.2 L3 is an ideal solution for the compact SJ519 TH model thanks to its smaller footprint, excellent reliability, cost benefits and Tier-4-Final compliance."
According to Skyjack, the TH line was engineered to meet the broad requirements of the rental equipment industry while filling a gap in the telehandler market with "workhorse" machines that offer the features and versatility previously only found on premium units. The new, compact SJ519 TH remains consistent with this philosophy by offering easily accessible service points, a simple control panel and multifunction display and a modular cab that rental dealers can easily convert from open to closed as needed.
"Since launching the TH telehandler range, we've received excellent feedback from the rental market," Early said. "Demand for compact machines continues to grow, and because the new SJ519 TH offers top-notch features and a DEUTZ engine, we anticipate many rental dealerships adding them to their fleets. Partnering with DEUTZ provides our customers with access to worldwide service support, brand recognition and a reliable reputation that they can trust."
The TH telescopic handler range is not the only Skyjack product line that features DEUTZ engines.The company's powered boom line has been powered by DEUTZ engines since 2006.
"Supplying engines to a prestigious equipment manufacturer like Skyjack is truly a testament to the technology and innovative spirit that are at the heart of every DEUTZ product," Corley said. "Our goal is to provide Skyjack and all our OEM customers with engines that give their machines a competitive advantage in the marketplace. The TCD 2.2 L3 is another example of our dedication to that goal."

Posted by Curtis Runnels
Curtis Runnels, Professor of Archaeology at Boston University and an expert in Palaeolithic archaeology in Greece, here contributes to From the Archivist's Notebook a story about how Americans first heard Modern Greek being spoken in the early 19th century. An aficionado of antiquarian shops, Runnels has frequently discovered unique documents of great historical and informational value, such as the four documents presented below, which tell us the story of a Greek merchant, Nikolaos Tziklitiras, who, after landing by accident in Boston in 1813, became the first Greek teacher in town and laid the foundations for the spread of Modern Greek studies in America.
On a late autumn day in 1813 the ship Jerusalem made its way slowly into Boston harbor. She was a long way from home. The 750-ton ship began her journey in Smyrna with a Greek-speaking crew bound for Cuba to take on a cargo of coffee, sugar, copper, and hides for Boston. Unfortunately, things did not go exactly as planned. Contemporary reports in the Niles Weekly Register, a popular news periodical of the day, relate that the Jerusalem was detained in September on her way to Boston by the British on account of the copper ingots in her cargo, and the ship was diverted to Halifax, Nova Scotia. She evidently put into Boston on her way to Canada ("September 18: The Greek Ship Jerusalem"). Now, in November, having sorted out her difficulties with the British authorities, she was at last bringing her cargo to Boston ("November 27: The Greek Ship Jerusalem").
The news of Jerusalem's detention as announced in Niles Weekly Register, Sept. 18, 1813.
The arrival of the Jerusalem in Boston was newsworthy because as far as the authorities knew she was the first Greek ship to reach the United States. It was something of a sensation, and members of the public, along with officials, merchants, students, and at least one Harvard College scholar, Edward Everett, flocked to the dock to see the ship. One man in the throng, however, was not interested in the story of her voyage and capture, nor was he interested in her cargo of Cuban sugar and coffee. John Pickering (1777-1846) had come to hear the crew talk.
Having learned "Oriental" languages while serving as secretary to the American Minister in Portugal in the 1790s, John Pickering now practiced law in Boston. There he acquired a reputation as a grammarian and a linguist, and his keen interest in languages, both ancient and modern, led him to perceive in the unexpected appearance of the Jerusalem a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn modern Greek from living speakers of the language (Larrabee, p. 299n4). His desire to learn how Greek was pronounced was at least in part because of the well-known three-hundred year old controversy over the correct pronunciation of ancient Greek begun by Erasmus (Pickering, p. 4-25).
Few people in the United States knew anything about modern Greece in the years before the Greek War of Independence. Though ancient Greek culture and language were staples of American education, only two Americans are known to have travelled in Greece before 1821: Joseph Allen Smith and Nicholas Biddle (Larrabee, p. 10-11). I suspect there were other visits by American merchants and sailors in the early nineteenth century, as ships plying the Mediterranean must have put into ports in the Aegean, especially the island of Syra. But if there were American visitors other than Smith and Biddle they left no records of their impressions. Nicholas Biddle (1786-1844) kept a journal and wrote several very descriptive letters home, but these unfortunately remained unpublished until our own day (McNeal 1993). Biddle made the trip to Greece in 1806 as part of a tour of Europe, and his travels were undertaken in order to learn something about the political circumstances in other countries to fit him for a political career when he returned to Philadelphia. His observations on modern Greek culture and language, especially its pronunciation, would have been of great value for scholars like Pickering had they been known. As it was, Pickering was unable to find out anything about modern Greek even during his time in the Mediterranean. He was prevented from travelling to the eastern Mediterranean because of quarantine laws, and Greek-speaking merchants and sailors rarely ventured beyond Malta in those days (they were under pressure from the Sublime Porte to remain within the eastern Mediterranean). So it is not surprising that Pickering was excited by the prospect of speaking with the Greeks on board the Jerusalem.
Pickering hit the jackpot. There were two men on the ship fluent in Italian (the lingua franca of Mediterranean commerce) who were able to converse with him. One of them, Captain Lazarus Nicholas Katara, a native of Hydra, had little education and knew nothing about ancient Greek, but the other one was the man for the job. Nikolaos Tziklitiras was a merchant who had resided for many years in Constantinople and was now the supercargo, or officer in charge of the cargo, on the Jerusalem. A native of Navarino (modern Pylos) in the Peloponnese, Tziklitiras was intelligent, educated, and familiar with ancient Greek; and he was willing to instruct Pickering in modern Greek and its pronunciation. Pickering's first lesson was how to pronounce his tutor's name: he tells us that Tziklitiras pronounced his name "cheek-lee-teeras" and went by the Italian version of his name "Nicola Ciclitira." Thus we have a record of perhaps the first modern Greek lesson on American soil (Pickering, p. 1-3).
From Supercargo to Greek Teacher

The ship and its crew probably remained in Boston over the winter (Pickering referred to his conversations with Katara and Tziklitiras as taking place "in 1814") and sailed for the Mediterranean with the return of good sailing weather in late spring. Captain Katara would turn up again in Greece where he ran into Edward Everett, the Harvard scholar he met in Boston (Larrabee, p. 29). After a few years Tziklitiras returned to Boston to stay and to earn his living as a teacher of modern Greek and its pronunciation (Pickering, p. 1-3). He remained in Boston for four years, and he married in 1815 a French woman (Phebe Catharine Ouvre) and had two children, one of whom, his son Nicholas, would become the grandfather of the noted athlete Konstantinos Tsiklitiras (1888-1913).
These facts can be gleaned from the reports in the Niles' Weekly Register, the biographical background provided for Konstantinos Tsiklitiras on line, and a small book on the pronunciation of Greek published by Pickering in 1818. Particularly interesting is the lithographed facsimile in Pickering's book of a letter in Greek by Tziklitiras that establishes the date of his return to Boston and his intention of becoming a teacher. To these sources we can now add a small collection of manuscript documents in the Archives at the American School of Classical Studies at Athens (ASCSA). One day about 20 years ago I received a small packet in the mail from a bookseller in Brockton, Massachusetts (John William Pye, 1948-2016). Pye explained that the documents were miscellaneous items that had turned up in a box of materials obtained at auction. He had no idea of their provenance or content, but knowing my interest in all things Greek, he thought I might like them. A short examination led me to believe that they were possibly an independent record of Tziklitiras's contribution to the teaching of modern Greek in the United States, and for this reason I donated them to the ASCSA. They deserve a detailed description.
One document is a piece of tattered paper on which are written names (including "Tzikliteras" and "Jenks" in Greek), a Greek alphabet, and a quotation from the Greek New Testament. At the bottom, in English, is a note: "[This] specimen of Greek chirography is from Mr Tzikliteras, [a native] of the south of the Morea, now resident in Boston, [and a] teacher of youth. He was supercargo of the Greek ship, lately in this port. My introduction to him was due [to the] kindness of my much esteemed & accomplished friend, the Hon. [John] Pickering Esq. Boston August 25, 1818." The note is signed "W. J." for William Jenks.

The second document is a holograph letter in Italian signed (in Greek) by Nikolaos Tziklitiras and addressed to the "Honorable John Pickering Esq.". Tziklitiras reminds Pickering that he promised to provide some proverbs and other quotations in idiomatic Greek to Mr. Jenks and asks Pickering to give the enclosed manuscripts to Jenks when he sees him. The letter is also dated "Boston, 25 August 1818."

The third document bears the same date and a text in Greek on one leaf written and signed by Tziklitiras. It consists of Greek alphabets, proverbs, and Biblical quotations. On the second leaf of the paper the Greek texts are translated into Italian and signed " il peloponnissio greco, Nicola Ciclitira."

The final manuscript is a letter in Greek addressed to "loanni Zugomala (Chiote) in America" from "his mother" and dated "Smyrna, June 15, 1830." The writer hopes her son's studies are going well and begs him to "dip your pen in the ink" and write her a letter. The Greek text has a note in English ("My own omission") keyed to a word that has a correction to the spelling, suggesting that this manuscript is a copy of an original letter. An English translation on the back in another hand ends by stating "The above transl. by a Greek, probably" and "Tr. Dec. 3rd. 1830". It is unknown whether this letter is connected with Nikolaos Tziklitiras (perhaps the translator mentioned in the note?).

These documents belonged to William Jenks (1794-1884), a minister, one time professor of Oriental Languages and English at Bowdoin College, the founder of a mission for seamen in Boston, and the author of a Comprehensive Commentary on the Holy Bible (six volumes, 1835-1838). Jenks was also a co-founder of the American Antiquarian Society and the American Oriental Society. Jenks, who was a private teacher in Boston at the time of the arrival of the Jerusalem was, like Pickering, an accomplished linguist. He was reputed to have the largest private library in Boston. (The William Jenks Collection is housed at the William L. Clements Library at the University of Michigan.) The significance of the documents that once belonged to Jenks and are now in the ASCSA is that they confirm the presence of Tziklitiras in Boston in 1818 and his connection with John Pickering, and illustrate how Tziklitiras engaged with scholars who were interested in modern Greek and the nature of the information they sought.
Tziklitiras remained in Boston until the outbreak of the Greek War of Independence when he returned to Greece with his son and young daughter (who died at sea). During the war he served in the Peloponnese in a series of administrative positions before returning to Pylos at the end of hostilities. He became a magistrate and died in Pylos in 1840.
In the Footsteps of Tziklitiras
The scholarly interest in modern Greek in the United States, however, did not end with the departure of Tziklitiras. Colonel Alexander Negris, a distinguished veteran of the War of Independence, settled in the Boston area around 1827 and taught modern Greek at Harvard for two years. He published a Grammar of the Modern Greek Language in 1828, the first grammar of modern Greek in the New World, in which he remarked "I can claim the credit of being the first to inspire men of learning and taste in America…with the desire of becoming acquainted with the living dialect of Greece" (Negris, Preface). After Negris' departure, modern Greek instruction at Harvard was undertaken by Evangelinos Apostolides Sophocles, who would make the greatest contribution to Modern Greek studies in America. Sophocles was born at Tsangarada on Mt. Pelion in Thessaly about the time of Tziklitiras' arrival in the United States (there is some inconsistency in Sophocles' date of birth, between 1807 and 1814, an inconsistency due no doubt to Sophocles' noted reticence in personal matters. Sophocles was educated at St. Catherine's Monastery in Egypt, and at some point came to the attention of missionaries from the American Board of Commissioners of Foreign Missions in Boston. He sailed for Boston in 1828 with the missionary Josiah Brewer and two other Greeks. After studying at Amherst College and holding various teaching posts, he moved to Harvard College in 1842 as Tutor in Greek (Professor of Greek after 1860), where he remained until his death in 1883 (Larrabee, p. 181, 255). His contributions to modern Greek studies were many. Besides teaching ancient and modern Greek to generations of students and scholars, he published many books, including a Romaic Grammar, and a History of the Greek Alphabet, which were standard texts for many years. Sophocles was succeeded at Harvard by Aristides Phoutrides (1887-1923), who translated modern Greek literature and established Helikon one of the first Greek student organizations in the United States. And today, thanks to the endowment in 1977 of the George Seferis Chair of Modern Greek Studies at Harvard University, the study and teaching of modern Greek introduced two hundred years ago by Nikolaos Tziklitiras from the deck of a ship has become a permanent part of higher education in the United States.
On How to Pronounce Ancient Greek
While the interest in modern Greek flourishes today in the United States, the same cannot be said about Tziklitiras's views on the pronunciation of ancient Greek. Pickering tells us that Tziklitiras effected a change in his thinking about the pronunciation of ancient Greek:
"It now appears to me highly probable, nay almost certain, that the Greeks of the present day pronounce very nearly as their ancestors did, as early as the commencement of the Christian era" (Pickering, p. 3-4).
Biddle too had been surprised to learn that modern Greek was pronounced differently from the way he had been taught to pronounce ancient Greek. At first he was skeptical about the application of modern pronunciation to ancient Greek, but he changed his mind. He asked in his journal:
"Can a foreign people dictate to the descendants of the Greeks how Greek is to be read?"
concluding that "[there] was a strong argument in favor for the use of modern pronunciation" (McNeal, p. 146-148).
Tziklitiras's letter to Pickering about how to pronounce ancient Greek, as published in Pickering 1818.
The question of the correct pronunciation of ancient Greek has been debated for centuries. Before the time of Erasmus in the early 16th century it was not uncommon for ancient Greek to be pronounced much like modern Greek. Erasmus adopted a new, and in the view of many scholars arbitrary, method of pronouncing ancient Greek that would eventually become the accepted pronunciation in Europe and later the United States (Pickering, p. 4-15). Tziklitiras obviously did not accept the Erasmian pronunciation. A. E. Sophocles, on the other hand, summarily treated the matter saying "we may safely assume that the Romaic pronunciation, as a system, cannot go farther back than the seventh century of our era" (Sophocles, p. 92, emphasis in the original).
John Gennadius (1844-1932), the founder of the Gennadius Library of the ASCSA, however, was in Tziklitiras's camp. He expressed his views on the subject in a number of periodical articles at the end of the nineteenth century. Always a sharp critic of contemporary methods of teaching Greek in Europe, Gennadius believed that the prevailing Erasmian system of ancient Greek pronunciation impeded the learning of ancient Greek. Gennadius argued that it was better to learn modern Greek first because the knowledge of modern Greek and its pronunciation would facilitate the learning of ancient Greek. Unfortunately the views concerning the pronunciation of ancient Greek held by Gennadius, and before him Biddle, Pickering, and Tziklitiras, have not won over the majority of American scholars, and today the Erasmian pronunciation of ancient Greek yet prevails. It is fitting, therefore, that Tziklitiras' unpublished papers, disiecta membra from the ship that brought modern Greek to American shores, and at least temporarily convinced American scholars to pronounce ancient Greek in the same manner as the living Greeks, should be housed at the Gennadius Library.

3 Comments on "How Modern Greek Came to America"
Glenn Bugh says:
Fascinating article, Curtis. Thanks for sharing. Of course, historians of the Ottoman occupation of Greece are aware that a Greek colony was established in 1768 in Florida, then under British control. It was named New Smyrna (now New Smyrna Beach) after the birthplace of the Greek wife of the British founder, Dr. Andrew Turnbull. The Greek colonists eventually relocated to St. Augustine where you can find some of their descendants and an appealing little Greek Orthodox church dedicated to St. Photios. It is claimed to be the first National Greek Orthodox Shrine in America. So, technically, these Greeks introduced modern Greek into the Americas some decades prior to the Boston episode. Just some details to round out the story.
John W.I. Lee says:
Dear Curtis, Thank you for this fascinating essay! Many of the early members of the ASCSA favored the modern pronunciation. Here is Managing Committee member Bernadotte Perrin, writing from Athens in the May 1890 issue of student newspaper of Western Reserve College (today part of Case Western Reserve University): "The modern pronunciation…is probably quite as near the pronunciation of Sokrates as the Erasmian. There is no good reason why it should not be used in reading ancient Greek…."
Apologies for the typo: comment should read "…May 1890 issue of The Adelbert student newspaper…"

Switzerland: At a glance
Switzerland is a sovereign country in Europe, with a total land area of approximately 39,997 sq km. The Swiss Confederation was founded in 1291 as a defensive alliance among three cantons. In succeeding years, other localities joined the original three. The Swiss Confederation secured its independence from the Holy Roman Empire in 1499. A constitution of 1848, subsequently modified in 1874, replaced the confederation with a centralized federal government. Switzerland's sovereignty and neutrality have long been honored by the major European powers, and the country was not involved in either of the two world wars. The political and economic integration of Europe over the past half century, as well as Switzerland's role in many UN and international organizations, has strengthened Switzerland's ties with its neighbors. However, the country did not officially become a UN member until 2002. Switzerland remains active in many UN and international organizations but retains a strong commitment to neutrality.

Spirit of Israel lives in Democratic Party
by Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) - 03/30/15 8:00 AM ET
In the lead-up to and aftermath of the recent Israeli elections, many people are openly talking about the future of the U.S.-Israel relationship, and some, going a step further, are questioning the link between Jewish Americans and the Democratic Party. None more offensively than my colleague, Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), who took his typically bombastic rhetoric to a new and disturbing level by accusing Jews of putting party before religious values, and invoking potential anti-Semitism by some Democrats as a motivating factor.
What we are witnessing is a serious and unprecedented politicization regarding support for Israel, and as chair of the Democratic National Committee and a Jewish woman who brings her love of Israel to work in Congress every day, I am compelled to set the record straight.
{mosads}We have seen the right wing attempt to make support for one of our most staunch friends and allies a conservative agenda item, and in doing so, they are challenging Jewish Americans whose core values allow them to both support Israel and the Democratic Party. They spew irresponsible rhetoric in order to try to scare our community, and have mischaracterized our positions, and more importantly, our actions for political gain.
Sadly, the misguided and cynical goal of Republicans is to use distortions and fearmongering to turn Israel into a wedge issue and lure Jewish voters toward their party. They are making Israel a political issue to try to win elections. It won't work.
That's because the Democratic Party is the natural home of Jewish Americans. Democrats' values are embedded in our Judaism: of recognizing injustice and striving to improve our societies, of tikkun olam, of advocating for those who have no voice.
Recent polling confirms what those in our community already know. Sixty percent of Jews in America identify with the Democratic Party while only 29 percent identify as Republican or lean Republican. Further, the vast majority of Jews voted for President Obama in 2012.
American Jews are overwhelmingly Democrats because of our values, and yes, because of our deep connection to and support of the State of Israel. But Democrats don't just talk about tikkun olam, we actually practice it by working to enact policies that make the world a better place.
Jews overwhelmingly favor women's rights, workers' rights, and gay rights. We believe in separation of church and state. We believe in immigration reform and providing the opportunity to others that our ancestors had when they arrived on America's shores. And simply put, the Republican Party of today does not.
We will not be bullied or cajoled as Democrats, Jews, or Americans – there is too much at stake in our domestic politics, our enduring bilateral relationship with Israel and the long-term security of the Middle East.
To those ends, we are proud of the way President Obama has supported Israel over his tenure – from unprecedented military and intelligence cooperation and economic collaboration to affirming Israel's right to exist, to defend herself, and to thrive.
I have seen this support materialize firsthand from my seat on the State and Foreign Operations Appropriations Subcommittee, where I am an active voice and vote for Israel and her people. In recent years, from foreign aid to diplomatic support to the Iron Dome defense system, U.S. support for Israel has helped save countless Israeli lives.
As in any democracy, in any vibrant democratic process, different politicians will drive home different messages – particularly in a heated campaign. Yes, many of us were deeply concerned about some of the regrettable comments from Prime Minister Netanyahu. But having concerns about comments from a politician or the stance of a party should not indicate a loss of faith in the entire system. When I criticize a leading opposition figure of the Republican Party, I am doing just that and my actions do not make me un-American or unpatriotic.
Our fundamental support of Israel – rooted in our shared Jewish and Democratic values – will never change, and the most important thing we can do as American supporters of Israel is to keep this connection growing, bolstering the only true democracy in the region. The most important fight we can have amongst ourselves about the State of Israel is the fight to stop the politicization of Israel.
As a community, we must work with both sides of the aisle and both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue to ensure that Israel will always remain a bipartisan bedrock of American foreign policy. Israel's lasting peace and security depend on nothing less.
Wasserman Schultz represents Florida's 23rd Congressional District and has served in the House since 2005. She sits on the Appropriations Committee and serves as the chair of the Democratic National Committee.

Home / News / One in three Brits would rather buy a phablet than a smartphone
72 per cent of global tablet customers said they would prefer a full-sized tablet to a 'mini' device
One in three Brits would rather buy a phablet than a smartphone
23rd June 2014	News
Over a third of Brits would rather buy a phablet-sized device than a smaller smartphone, a report has found.
Market tracker Accenture found 57 per cent of global consumers plan to buy a smartphone this year, with nearly half (48 per cent) saying they plan to opt for a phablet rather than a conventional smartphone.
When broken down by country, 37 per cent of UK consumers said they were likely to choose a bigger phablet device.
The survey defined phablets as having five- to seven-inch screen sizes, compared to the four- to five-inch displays of conventional smartphones.
"The phablet screen size is hitting a sweet spot for a large percentage of consumers wanting more digitally connected lifestyles," said David Sovie, managing director of Accenture's communications, media and technology group.
"To capitalise on this, consumer technology companies should consider adjusting their digital strategies, research and development investments, product roadmaps and supply chains to focus more on phablet business opportunities and less so, in some cases, on the conventional smartphone market."
Turkish smartphone buyers were found to be the biggest fans of phablet-sized handsets, with 64 per cent of those planning to buy a smartphone saying they would go for the growing form factor.
Those in the Netherlands were the least accepting of phablets – only 30 per cent saying they would choose a bigger screen over a normal-sized smartphone.
The consumer preference for larger screens also spreads to tablet devices, it seems.
The same survey found that 44 per cent of respondents are also planning to buy a tablet PC this year.
Of those planning to purchase a tablet, 72 per cent said they would prefer a full-sized tablet to a 'mini' device.

Monsta X's "Who Do U Love?" Almost Perfect
June 27, 2019 | 3741 Visits
On June 21, 2019, Monsta X released "Who Do U Love?" The track features French Montana, making Monsta X next in a line of K-Pop artists to collaborate with Westerners.
"Who Do U Love?" is a solid track. Monsta X's English is clear and nearly flawless. There are a few places where some words feel a little muddled, but it's hardly noticeable after a few listens. The lyrics Monsta X sing are simple, but the theming is relatable for many audiences, making the track a shoo-in for Western radio play.
What's special about "Who Do U Love?" is that is shows Monsta X's versatility. The song is simplistic, so looking at the lyrics without the track makes the song seem weak. Vocally, "Who Do U Love?" is one of Monsta X's strongest. The harmonies on the track are robust and well-blended during the chorus. The song's solid hook draws an audience in, so it's a track that asks to be listened to on repeat. The song expertly shows off Monsta X's singing abilities with good low notes, but the shiver-inducing falsettos are what make the song good.
The track's beat and arrangement also help the song stand out. As an older K-Pop fan, the instrumentals sound like late-1990s, early-2000s Western pop with hints of R&B, so this blend and subtle nod to the past makes the song cheer-worthy. The pacing of the track, too, provides an easy-listening vibe that fits any mood. The fact this track does dabble in different genres while still having a K-Pop feel makes it special because sometimes it's a formula that doesn't always work.
Sadly, praise begins and ends with Monsta X. "Who Do U Love?" could have been the perfect track if it wasn't for French Montana's inclusion. His verse is a vibe-killer and doesn't fit the song at all. While Monsta X is asking a lover to choose between them and another party, French Montana comes into the song like an overly drunk person crashing a conversation at a party!
In the middle of the nonsense, unnecessary French Montana verse, there are hints that he's rapping about two women fighting over one man, which is a reversal from how the song begins with what we assume is a man asking his partner to choose between him and another. French Montana's content makes the song confusing: What point-of-view is this song?
Additionally, French Montana's verse makes a lot of references to past Western celebrities which some Monsta X audiences may not understand due to the fanbase being younger than the people French Montana reference. For example, "Brandy and Monica" refer to actress and singer Brandy Norwood (Moesha, "Have You Ever") and R&B singer Monica ("Angel of Mine," "The Boy is Mine" which is performed with Brandy), while "Tity Boi, 2Chainz" refers to 1990s and early 2000s rapper, 2 Chainz. The references make zero sense given the song's theme and context, so it just feels like name-dropping for the sake of name-dropping. French Montana's verse is useless and should have been left off. A better collaboration had to be available somewhere because this one just didn't work.
If the song was just Monsta X, it would have earned a solid 4.5/5. However, French Montana's verse ruined the whole vibe, dropping the rating down to 2/5. It's a shame a good song got wrecked by poor collaboration choices.

Nonprofit Advocacy: A Responsibility to Speak Up
by Cymber Clay
Sophie Etchart, founder of Read Better Be Better
Education is a part of every nonprofit's mission.
But if we aren't speaking up and taking a public stand on the social problems affecting our communities, how will anything ever change? And yet — the narrative surrounding nonprofit advocacy is one that has many of us walking on eggshells.
We exist to solve specific issues — and tiptoeing around them is no longer going to cut it.
It's true that, as nonprofit organizations, we have only restricted capacity to lobby or influence elections. But we are allowed to educate — or in other words — advocate.
Getting Comfortable Talking About Social Problems
As Dyana P. Mason states in an article for NonProfit Quarterly, "Nonprofit organizations have been at the forefront of much of this nation's social and political change for the last two centuries, and you are in good company when you take action."
And part of the 'action' she references is getting comfortable with nonprofit advocacy. This means we must adopt a 'say it loud, say it proud' mentality about speaking up about social problems. (And the broken systems causing them.) Systems that, one might argue, were purposely designed to create inequality.
But that's why we must raise our voices about these issues so we can, collectively, give a voice to the communities we serve.
After all, nonprofits are the ones with the deepest understanding of the social problems plaguing our communities. We're the ones out in the field, doing the work, and witnessing these issues firsthand.
There's no one better than us to fight for the communities we represent by speaking up, taking a stand, and educating the public. And if we collaborate with like-minded organizations, we will only grow louder — and stronger — together.
Advocacy at Read Better Be Better
At Read Better Be Better, my team and I understand the problems, needs, and reality of the children in our program.
This is why we share that reality with others in an effort to create widespread understanding — and change — for the childhood literacy crisis facing Arizona.
So when you see Read Better Be Better taking a stand, like advocating for a 'no' vote on Proposition 305, it's because we feel we have a responsibility to educate our community on the issues that will negatively affect the children we serve.
And we will continue to make statements on the issues that are important to us through social-media posts, public-speaking engagements, blog posts, and in-person action. (Like when our team marched to the Arizona State Capitol to stand in solidarity with teachers last spring.)
At its core, nonprofit advocacy is talking about the things you know and are important to you. And organizations have to do this now more than ever — and do it responsibly.
Together we can change the narrative on nonprofit advocacy.

Wandering Coimbra – Beira
September 1, 2018 · by WritingSphinx
Smoke filled the air as we motored on to Coimbra. The closer we came to the city, the more ominous the smoke became.
On the way we could see how fire had ravaged parts of the forest. We knew about the forest fires prior to our departure. The worst seemed to have passed. Now that we were on site, we could note a different picture. Segments of the road were blocked off taking us through a number of detours.
Near Coimbra, thick clouds filled the skies to the left and to the right. We witnessed the fires raging about 20-30 KM north and east, forming a ring around the city. From our hotel room we watched how one fire would abate and another would ignite with full force. Coimbra was enveloped in a shimmering greyish smog. I was thankful that we hadn't been caught in the midst of it. The roads leading north cut through dense forests, and it wasn't difficult to understand how people that were fleeing the fires, were engulfed by them when they couldn't outrun the flames. They had nowhere to go.
University of Coimbra
After being duly impressed by Évora, we were wowed by Coimbra, the original capital of Portugal. This vibrant university city is home to one of the oldest universities and houses the famed Biblioteca Joanina.
Walking through an ancient Roman aqueduct we entered the old part of the city and the university grounds.
Coimbra – Roman Aqueduct
There was so much to take in that we couldn't decide where to start. Map in hand, we headed for the general direction of the university. We admired the layout and inscriptions of the faculty buildings that framed spacious avenues, forming a striking counterpoint to the grounds of the historic university.
Coimbra Faculty Building
Once we passed the archway unto the Paço das Escolas (Palace of the Schools), we had crossed over to another world. This former Royal Palace, dating 1290, became definitively established as university in 1537 (it had gone back and forth a few times between Lisbon and Coimbra).
Old University
To one side, a dual staircase which leads to several majestic halls: the Great Hall of Acts, the former first Throne Room of Portugal, now a ceremonial room used at the conclusion of doctoral exams. The Private Examination Room; as the name indicates, where the doctoral exams were held (in secret and at night). Prior to that it was the King's room. The Arms Room, which holds the weapons of the previous Royal Guard. The Academic Prison below the Examination Room, was where academics were held. The university had an autonomous court that functioned outside the general law of the land.
Great Hall of Acts
University Prison
On the other side, the Iron Gate with the two principal kings or the university, over which stands Wisdom, the university's emblem.
Old Uni – Iron Gate
In times past, the remarkable tower was intended as an astronomical observation site. Now Coimbra's hallmark stands watch over its campus. If you look closely, the top of the tower looks like an owl.
Coimbra Old Uni – Tower and Palace of Schools
Biblioteca Joanina
Our access time to the library was nearing and we lined up to visit the Biblioteca Joanina. It was named after King João V who funded the library's construction in 1717. The Baroque style, conceived by architect Gaspar Ferreira, is a sight to behold. Each doorway leading to the next rooms, show off each of the faculties coat of arms. We admired the allegoric scenes on the ceilings, which had been painted by Ribeiro and Nunes. Manuel da Silva provided his artistic touches of the guided and lacquered bookshelves.The desks and shelving was made from Brazilian wood and crafted by Italian artisans.
Joanina Library
According to our guide, the Joanine library contains 250,000 books, among which a good number are handwritten, and date from the 15th to the 19th. Century. It is considered one of its kind in the world.
To preserve this antique collection, a constant temperature between 18 to 20 degrees Celsius needs to be maintained. The outside 2,11 meter thick walls form the first barrier against unwanted temperature swings. The next barrier is provided by the solid oak bookshelves, which make it impossible for insects to pierce the wood. Besides, the scent of the oak is a natural worm repellent. Our library guide explained how a bat colony resides within the library walls. At night they feast on unsuspecting insects. I guess this is what happens to insects who ignore the warning signs, and get sidetracked by wandering into the hallowed halls!
We weren't surprised that this historic library is seen as Portugal's national jewel.
Chapel of St. Michael
Another patient queuing up, taking turns to see this 16th. Century Chapel built in Manueline style but well worth the wait. Inside, we were taken aback by the grandeur of the art work packed into a relatively small space. The painting on the ceiling dates later, to the 17th. Century. The Baroque organ with Chinese motifs dates, has 2,000 pipes and is still fully operational.
Everywhere we walked, Coimbra showed off its street decorations and enticed us with its architecture.
Street Decorations
With regret we bid adieu to this wonderful city as too soon we had to make our way to O'Porto, our next leg in the journey.
