Aulus Gellius' Noctes Atticae is a collection of short texts that pursues an aesthetic of variation. Beer's study is an appraisal of the texts and the collection in general. The author analyzes Noctes Atticae based on narratological criteria, develops associative links between the sections, and illuminates the agonal relationship between narrator and implicit reader.

On September 9, 1971, prisoners rioted and seized control of the Attica Correctional Facility in New York State. This is the manifesto of political demands made by the prisoners and read out by L. D. Barkley. After four days of negotiation, the uprising was crushed with massive force under the orders of Governor Nelson Rockefeller, leaving thirty-nine dead, including Barkley.

Electronic wastes (e-wastes) pose a significant threat to human health and the ecosystem, due to both the volume of wastes produced and the hazardous materials contained. Discarded electronic equipment is one of the fastest growing waste streams worldwide, due to the increasing growth rate of the Information Technology (IT) market and the rapid obsolescence of the equipment. The European Union has characterized the Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), in general, as one of the key waste streams and has already developed the framework for their management. Although a lot of EU countries have already launched their electronic wastes policy, Greece started the efforts quite recently. Granted that the Greek IT market is expected to grow significantly in the near future, it is obvious that the need for immediate action is more urgent than ever, so as to be able to deal with the problems that will occur due to the accumulation of significant quantities of e-wastes. The paper presents the process so far of a project, funded by European Regional Development Fund, which aims to develop an integrated management system for electronic wastes in the Attica Region.

Abstract

Roman Criminal Justice. Legal-philosophical Traces in Aulus Gellius' "Noctes Atticae". The study reviews discussions of just punishment in Aulus Gellius' "Noctes Atticae". It embeds them in contemporary legal discussions based mainly on Cicero's and Seneca's works. The resulting picture of the Roman philosophy of criminal law stands in striking contrast to the historical prejudice of the sheer technicality and philosophical infertility of Roman legal culture. The analysed and partially highly sophisticated arguments belong nevertheless especially to the applied part of legal philosophy.

Summarization: The city of Athens, economic, political and administrative capital of Greece since 1833, has been developed upon ancient settlements of 2000 years and more without regulating planning and principles. The distribution of economic activities in urban tissue has been determined by a "laiser faire", under the influence of continuous political pressures. Market, with successive changes, has formed a functional "situation of balance", in the thematic level as well as in their areal distribution. This has led to an Urban Status where Land Uses configure Land Prices and vice versa. New areas with Functional Structures have been developed, that determine land prices forced by Market needs. For this reason, Athens constitutes a suitable territory for research of urban activities distribution as it is shaped without regulation but it is formed by the free offer and demand of space for the installation of urban activities. This allocation is fixed from a) their "functional requirements" b) their essential "environmental compatibilities" and mainly, c) their "land prices". Our research aims to show • initially how Greek legislation has taken into consideration the city's existing Functional structure and then • how the "allocation freedom" that is provided, shapes the Urban web of Athens municipality and accordingly real estate development. ; Presented on:

Η παρούσα μελέτη αφορά τη γεωμορφολογική χαρτογράφηση της περιοχής που περιλαμβάνεται στα φύλλα χάρτη Κορωπί και Πλάκα της διανομής της Γ.Υ.Σ. σε κλίμακα 1:50.000 . Πρόκειται για μια εκτεταμένη περιοχή της Ανατολικής Αττικής η οποία παρουσιάζει σύνθετο ανάγλυφο και μεγάλη ποικιλία γεωμορφών, λόγω του έντονου τεκτονισμού της και των φυσικών διεργασιών που διαμόρφωσαν τη μορφολογία της. Για τη δημιουργία του χάρτη χρησιμοποιήθηκαν κυρίως γεωλογικοί και τοπογραφικοί χάρτες, από τους οποίους κατασκευάστηκαν μέσω Γεωγραφικών Συστημάτων Πληροφοριών τα θεματικά επίπεδα της τοπογραφίας, της υδρογραφίας και της γεωλογίας, ενώ κατασκευάστηκε επίσης και το Ψηφιακό Μοντέλο Εδάφους, από το οποίο προέκυψαν οι χάρτες κλίσεων και έκθεσης. Οι θεματικοί χάρτες των κλίσεων και της λιθολογίας ταξινομήθηκαν σε κατηγορίες οι οποίες συνδυάστηκαν αποτελώντας κριτήρια εντοπισμού γεωμορφών. Στη χαρτογράφηση συνέβαλλαν καθοριστικά οι διαθέσιμοι ορθοφωτοχάρτες και αεροφωτογραφίες, όπως επίσης η εργασία πεδίου. Στη συνέχεια, με τον κατάλληλο συνδυασμό χρωμάτων και συμβολισμών δημιουργήθηκε ο γεωμορφολογικός χάρτης της περιοχής μελέτης, η οποία αποτελείται από τμήματα διαφοροποιημένων μορφολογικών χαρακτηριστικών του αναγλύφου. ; This study concerns the geomorphological mapping of the area included in the map sheets Koropi and Plaka of the Hellenic Military Geographical Service map distribution in scale 1:50.000. This is an extensive area of East Attica which presents a complex terrain and a wide variety of landforms, due to its intense tectonism and the natural processes that shaped its morphology. The primary data that were used in the creation of the map mainly included geological and topographic maps, from which thematic layers of the topography, hydrography and geology were constructed through GIS processes. A Digital Elevation Model was also constructed, from which the slope and aspect maps were created. The thematic maps of slοpe and lithology were classified into categories, which were combined to constitute detection criteria of landforms. Decisive contribution in mapping was provided by the available orthophotomaps and aerial photographs, as well as the field work. Finally, with the appropriate combination of colors and symbols the geomorphological map of the study area was produced.

Abstract
In his presidential address for the 2012 American Historical Association, Bill Cronon argued that the core business of historians is "resurrection." Our job, he said, is to breathe life into the "dead past" and make it live again. There is no worse crime, he said, "than to make it forgettable." Heather Ann Thompson's brilliant and beautifully rendered book Blood in the Water: The Attica Prison Uprising and Its Legacy offers us, among other things, a blueprint of how to write powerful narrative nonfiction with explanatory force that brings the past to life and does real work in the present.
