Extractions: (January 27, 2003) Dr. Michael Galaty of the sociology and anthropology department at Millsaps College has spent the past several years conducting archaeological research in the remote areas of Albania. Galaty will present a lecture about his studies, titled "Digging the Eagle: Archaeology in the Developing Nation of Albania," on Feb. 7 at 12:30 p.m. in Gertrude C. Ford Academic Complex room 215. The program is free and open to the public. "My lecture will focus on modern Albanian history and the difficulties of conducting archaeological research in a developing nation," Galaty said. "Albania shows us how difficult it is for a poor, developing country to create new economic and political institutions, basically from scratch." The lecture, which is sponsored by the Millsaps Forum Series, will be accompanied by the opening of a Lewis Art Gallery exhibit featuring Garett Holden's photographs of Albania. Holden, a freelance photographer, received his B.A. degree from the Art Academy of Cincinnati. The lecture will be immediately followed by a special gallery reception.

Extractions: University College London Albanian Studies at SSEES Vacancy: Closing date: 1 May 2003 The Albanian Studies Programme at SSEES was initiated on the first of September 1997 when the first Alex Nash Fellow for Albanian Studies was appointed. This position was created based on a recent bequest received by the School of Slavonic and East European Studies (SSEES). Alex Nash (formerly Naci, 5 April 1949 - 14 September 1995) was a university teacher and translator who also co-operated with the European Commission. His father was the private secretary of the former Albanian King Zog and the Nash's family emigrated with King Zog to England during World War II. By selecting Stephanie Schwandner-Sievers There are also efforts being undertaken to formalise links between SSEES and international scholars and students of Albanian Studies. Having received an invitation from SSEES, Dr. Bernd Fisher from Indiana University conducted research in England in June and July 1998 on British Albanophile movements and influences during the Second World War. Additionally, there are plans to integrate more Albanian students into SSEES. Currently, there is no Albanian Scholarship programme for students at the School, though we would very much welcome suggestions for raising money for this purpose. Future students are welcome to contact Mr. Andrew Gardner

Sources on the Albanian Orthodox Church in America, founded in New York in 1908, include works by Fan S. Noli, a composer and politician as well as the Church's first ordained priest (later its Metropolitan), and the Fiftieth Anniversary Book of the Albanian Orthodox Church in America, 1908-1958 (1960). Primary sources are also available pertaining to the Albanian Orthodox Diocese of America, founded after World War II.

WWI temporarily wiped away further moves for independence as Albania was occupied by Greece, Serbia, France, Italy and Austria-Hungary in succession. From 1920 to 1939 the country governed itself, but Ahmet Zogu, representing the landed aristocracy, went to bed with Mussolini's Italy. That move sprang back to hit him in the face when the Italians invaded at the outbreak of WWII. The communists, under Enver Hoxha, led the resistance against Italy and, after 1943, Germany. By October 1944 they'd thrown the Germans out, the only East European nation to do so without the assistance of Soviet troops. The communists consolidated power after the war, and proclaimed the People's Republic of Albania in 1946. Europe during the dying days of the 20th century.

http://www.oclc.org/dewey/updates/tips/classification/catalogingproblem.htm

Extractions: Updates Tips The Cataloging Problem of the Century Look for the best fit between the years of the century and the years of the historical periods of that country's history. We normally observe the following two guidelines. When one period covers 51 or more years of a century (defining a century as the years ending in 00 to 99), we use that period, because it covers the majority of the century. For example, 946.9036 encompasses 1847-1910 in Portuguese history. Because this period includes 53 years of the 19th century, we use 946.9036 for 19th-century Portugal. If a period covers the first 50 years of a century, we use that period, according to the first of two rule. For example, 946.9032 covers 1640-1750 in Portugal, and 946.9033 covers 1750-1807. Eighteenth-century Portugal, therefore, is classified in 946.9032. Additional difficulties arise when a century is divided among three or more periods. For example, the 20th century in Albanian history is divided among four period subdivisions. The first 12 years of the century are included in 949.6501; the subdivision for 1912-1946 (949.6502) encompasses the following 34 years; the next 46 years of the century are covered in 949.6503, which has the caption "1946-1992"; and 949.6504 is for 1992 and after. We realize that users require more guidance in such instances, and we plan to add notes indicating where the centuries are to be classed in all doubtful cases to Edition 22, which will be published in 2003. We will also add selected notes to future releases of WebDewey. In the Albanian history example, it is likely that we will designate 949.6503 to be used for 20th-century Albania, because it covers nearly half the century.

Extractions: A lbanian history is permeated by myths and mythical narratives that often serve political purposes, from the depiction of the legendary "founder of the nation," Skanderbeg, to the exploits of the KLA in the recent Kosovo War. The essays in Albanian Identities, by a multinational, multidisciplinary team of scholars and non-academic specialists, deconstruct prevalent political or historiographical myths about Albania's past and present, bringing to light the ways in which Albanian myths have served to justify and direct violence, buttress political power, and foster internal cohesion. Albanian Identities demonstrates the power of myths to this day, as they underpin political and social processes in crisis-ridden post-totalitarian Albania.

Extractions: Arriving in Bathore they found an area suffering with severe social and economic problems. Donald and his co-workers found many children in the streets without any chance to attend school.They learned that this condition is because there is only one government school in the area. After consulting with the local Elder (elected representative of the locality), they made plans to open a much needed kindergarten. A building was selected in August 2000, and as soon as they started registration, the available places were filled up (on the first day of registration) and forty more children were placed on the waiting list. In January 2001, work was completed on an addition to the school building and another 40 children were able to attend.

Extractions: Albania:The Little Country that Couldn't? Albanian Culture Day in the Life Evacuation Albanian Viewpoint ... History Up until a year ago, it was a country with promise. Recently released from the constraints of communism and years of oppression, Albania looked toward a growing future with capitalism. Teenagers embraced the music of Michael Jackson and Madonna, while the leaders welcomed the teaching of English, western business and agriculture. For a country that boasted an average income of $120 a year, hard work and the acceptance of the influences of their wealthier neighboring nations obviously looked to be able to open doors to more comfortable living. But so did the prospect of a high-risk pyramid scheme that many Albanians put all of their savings into. With the failure of the investments, some of which Albanians had bet on with their houses, Albania is now in decay. Civil war has broken out while citizens blame the government for encouraging the investments, and then not being able to pay what is deserved. Many have responded with a violent rebellion. Relatively unknown to Americans before, reports of violence fill the media almost everyday now in mediums ranging from CNN to local newspapers. Although most Americans view the news as remote, some see it as the destruction of what was once a home.

The 1345-start date is probably the Albanian population resistant to Serbian conquest by Dushan (since the Epiros list ends in 1340). Eventually in 1355 (upon Dushan's death), the armies of Balsha and Thopia would appear. Eventually Ottoman and Venetian elements would start appearing in the chieftains' armies. During Skanderbeg's reign, more mercenaries would begin to appear (more Venetians, Catalans, Hungarians, and Germans). Also there would be more use of gunpowder weapons present, namely handguns. Here is a list of the elements used in the Albanian army and their descriptions: Element Description (including general) These are light horse armed with a spear and sword and/or mace. Some may replace the spear with a crossbow or bow. They wear no armor and may carry a shield. Some chieftains may have Ottoman auxiliaries. These would be represented as Akinji (Ottoman raiders armed with bows). These are mostly peasants or lightly armed javelinmen with shields. As Ottoman auxiliaries these would be Azabs armed with bows or javelins. Also, these can represent Italian mercenaries either as crossbowmen or later handgunners. Hungarian jobbagy archers would be appropriate as mercenaries as well.
