Neues zur Urbanistik der Zivilstädte von Aquincum-Budapest und Carnuntum-Petronell

In this paper the new results of an Austrian-Hungarian research cooperation (2011–2014) on the urbanism of the Civil towns of Aquincum and Carnuntum are to be presented. In synthesis of geophysical surveys, the interpretation of archaeological excavations and the reinterpretation of elder evidences, a new picture of the diachronic development of the two Civil Towns from an early vicus to a fortified city can be drawn

A Literature Survey (1960-1970) to Identify the Slow Learner\u27s Capabilities in Business Education

This study was designed to identify the slow learner’s capabilities in business education. The study began with a perusal of the Business Education Index and the Education Index for literature relative to slow learners in general and particularly to slow learners in business education. Materials used were those written between i960 and 1970. The findings ware classified into three main parts: (1) a general description of the slow learner—his I.Q. range and characteristics pertinent to his educational and occupational potential and needs; (2) the role that business education plays in preparing him for satisfactory office employment; and (3) the acceptance of the slow learner into business offices. The findings indicated that the 1.0. range of the slow learner Is between 70 and 95; he is approximately two years below his peers in his class; he learns slowly and lacks self-confidence. He can be employed in office jobs performing, tasks within his ability. The slow learner’s needs are essentially the same as those of normal children, but he needs more feelings of success, acceptance, and affection. Teachers must include in their efforts much patience, time, and encouragement. Methods should be adapted to include participation, variety, audio-visual aids, and activity- oriented lessons. Businessmen must become aware of the capabilities of slow-learning graduates and adapt some of their office ^obs to make room for those people, perhaps by reducing secretarial variety and making allowances so that some of the menial tasks can be performed by slow-learning adults

Report on the Mineral Resources of Fayette County, Texas

A mineral resource survey of Texas has been started by the Works Progress Administration, with the Bureau of Economic Geology of The University of Texas acting as sponsor. The purpose of the survey is to assemble information and make it available to the public. Through a separate project, sponsored by the State Planning Board, the results of the survey, as they are received in Austin, are being assembled for publication. The mineral resource survey is helping in the location of mineral products, from some of which it is reasonable to suppose industries of value to the State may be developed. The following report is based on work in Fayette CountyBureau of Economic Geolog

Legio XI Claudia Pia Fidelis – Militaria of the Burnum troop wavering in the year 42

Burnum was the hotspot of a political crisis in the Roman Empire in 42 AD. For a brief period of five days, an insurrection against the Iulian-Claudian imperial house was supported by the 11th Legion stationed there. When the soldiers realized the obvious deception used to foment this rebellion, their desire for revenge led to the manslaughter of several of their superiors. This violation of the regulations against higher ranks was rigidly punished as a capital crime by the provincial governor, newly appointed by Emperor Claudius. The convicted legionaries were executed in front of the headquarters. At almost the same time, however, the troops had also been given the honorific title Claudia Pia Fidelis for their loyalty, professed so quickly to the emperor. The emphasis on this pietas was thus eclipsed by the guilty verdicts’ causa capitis of a dubious interpretation of the law. After all, the soldiers sentenced to death had turned against the high traitors of the imperial house (adversus Claudium auctores occiderant). It is therefore hardly surprising that the site of the executions in the area of the principia was subjected to a complete transformation within a few years, between 42 and 51/52 AD, in the course of a large-scale building programme under Claudius. The terrain was completely changed in its appearance by a mighty levelling; the place was practically sealed. As relics of these structural measures, an abundant spectrum of militaria has been deposited in the backfill. As bronze fragments show, what ended up in the fill is likely to have been waste and metal supplies from a fine forge. Also found among the military gear was a well-preserved belt fitting with niello decoration. On the basis of this significant find, the rich repertoire of belts with niello decoration worn by legionaries of the 11th Legion from Burnum up to the Rhine region via Vindonissa is presented

RETRATOS EM MOVIMENTO NA OBRA contínua de Herberto Helder

Gallimard, editor da obra de Proust, relatou um dia que os hábitos de revisão do memorialista francês perante os originais levavam os tipógrafos à loucura. As margens das folhas eram sempre devolvidas preenchidas por um novo material, e os erros e lapsos gráficos passavam despercebidos uma vez que o que era imperativo para o autor eram as lembranças, e estas, como agudamente demonstrou Walter Benjamin num ensaio seminal, de 1929, eram regidas pela lei do esquecimento. Idealizava a sua obra em um único volume, sem parágrafos, com colunas duplas, posto que “a unidade do texto está apenas no acttus purus da própria recordação, e não na pessoa do autor, e muito menos na ação” (Benjamin, 1994, p. 37)
