Description

 

The property within boundaries of District of Koycegiz is located in the face of Dalyan City and on the right shores of Dalyan Stream (Calbis) which connect Koycegiz Lake to Mediterranean. It was the capital of the ‘Kaunos Region’ between the Caria and Lycia until the beginning of the 4th BC.

The existence of Kaunos had known by the scholars but its location was a mystery until English archaeologist Hoskyn discovered it in 1842. Swedish archaeologist P. Roos defined the independent state boundaries of Kaunos as follows: “Starting from the Fethiye Bay at the north and Ancient City of Krya at the north of the bay; extending till Tlos at the 35 km east of Fethiye, Idyma at Gokova Bay at the west and Çamkoy located in the west of Urla which is little forward to north.” In today’s context, the coastal area starting from the south plains of Mugla and extending till the mountains between Mugla and Antalya was under the sovereignty of Kaunos. Kaunos has kept this borders until the 4th century BC but then lost its statue of sovereign state after the Persian invasion. It was one of two cities resisting against Persian invasion (other is Xanthos) such that they paid high taxes to prevailing states many times in order to keep their independency as a port city.

Kaunos was mentioned as Ksibde in Lycian scripts, while as Kbid in the scripts of other surrounding cities. Life style and language of Kaunos people share similarities with Carian people except five letters in their alphabet are not seen in latter which makes Kaunos language is unique to them. Heredot reveals in this respect that “There is Carian influence in their language or their influence in Carian language. This is an issue which I couldn’t clarify.” In fact, epigraphic materials in Carian language are found mostly in Kaunos today. Kaunosian could not be understood until very recently just because Carian language was not decoded. However, by virtue of a stela written in Greek and Carian, it has been possible to unravel Carian language and a little of Kaunosian due to Greek language had already been known.

Kaunos was an important sea port city with two ports; one is in the south at the southeast of Küçük Kale (Small Castle) and the inner port at its northwest, the present Sülüklü Göl (the Lake of the Leeches). The southern port was used from the foundation of the city till roughly the end of the Hellenistic era, after which it became inaccessible due to its drying out. The latter was used till the late days of Kaunos, but due to the silting of the delta and the ports, Kaunos had by then lost its important function as a trade port and started becoming poor. After Caria had been captured by Turkish tribes and the serious malaria epidemic of the 15th century AD, Kaunos was completely abandoned.

The city was constructed on terraces; significant religious structures like Baselius Kaunios Temple, Apollon Sanctuary and Demeter Sacred Rocks on one side and Bath, Theatre and other structures including Palaestra on a large terrace which is called Upper City on the other. The monumental terrace on which the Upper City situated connects Baliklar Mountain with the Acropolis by extending the city into Mediterranean like a tongue and naturally creating a second harbour basin in the east.

In many places in the ancient city, it has been found stone cutlery and arrowheads from Palaeolithic era. The finding and remains in Kaunos reveal the prosperity of the city as a great power of its time and that it was a sovereign state which minted on its behalf. The coins printed in this region especially in the first half of the 5th century BC are of great importance since a winged figure is displayed on the front side while pyramidal formed monoliths on the back. Besides, letters of K and B found on the coins are important due to they are the first two letters of the first name of Kaunos, Kbid.

The oldest find at the Kaunos archaeological site is the neck of a Protogeometric amphora dating back to the 9th century BC, or even earlier. A statue found at the western gate of the city walls, pieces of imported Attic ceramics and the South – Southeast oriented city walls show habitation in the 6th century BC. Although none of the architectural finds at Kaunos itself dates back to earlier than the 4th century BC, history of Kaunos is believed much earlier than that.

Because of the paleogeographic formation of Dalyan Delta and the silting of the former Bay of Dalyan (from approx. 200 BC onwards), Kaunos is now located about 8 km from the coast.

We do more than just fitness at CrossFit Scottsdale.

Well, accuracy and influence of the "billboard" is questionable, but I guess it might have been cheap...

As a database administrator I am well aware of the importance of data accuracy. When I was being handcuffed and arrested for possession of a stolen vehicle, I was wishing that others found data accuracy as important as I do.

 

So here is the story - I notice a police car following very closely behind me. Hmmm I'm doing 39 in a 35. I'd like to speed up because of how close he is, but I won't. I notice another police car coming the opposite direction makes a U-Turn to get behind me. And then the lights come on. I pull over into this lovely business park you see in the photo and an officer approaches. He asks for "license, registration, and paperwork proving ownership of the vehicle". I laugh and say, "I've never heard that last part before." It turns out that the plate on my vehicle matches a stole car from Phoenix Arizona. They read my "VIN number" to the dispatcher and she says "That's a match. This is the stolen vehicle." They frisk me, handcuff me, and have me sit on the "push bar" (bumper) of the squad car. Over the next 2 hours they ask me the same 3 questions 60 different ways. "When were you last in Arizona? Have you been in any domestic disputes that may cause your father-in-law (the title holder of this, my wife's, vehicle) to report this vehicle stolen? Do you have any drugs, guns, knives, or weapons in the vehicle?"

 

Through it all I kept imagining the Apostle Paul in prison writing letters to the the Colossians, Ephesians, Philippians, and Philemon. I remained clam, polite, and shared details of my life with the officers who where engaging me. I told them how I was a database administrator and I knew how these kinds of data errors can happen. I told them that my father-in-law was a police sergeant and I understand that police officers have procedures they follow and that I needed to just wait until everything got figured out. I did, however, have to remind one of them that this is a mistake, I would be let go, and so we might as well be polite to each other now as to not make this awkward later.

 

The mixup turned out to be this - when the officer following me ran my plate number, dispatch told him it matched a stolen vehicle from Arizona. He pulls me over to get more information. Everything is okay so far. When he reads the VIN to dispatch, she gets a "match" that it is the VIN number for the Georgia plate. Here is the problem. Every innocent person's VIN matches their plate. What would not have matched if the dispatcher had done this correctly was my VIN and the VIN of the stolen vehicle. I asked several times, "So my plate matches the plate of a stolen vehicle from Arizona and the VIN numbers match?" They kept saying yes. I chuckled and told them that my 6 character plate matching a 6 character plate from one of the other 49 states is almost a statistical certainty. The odds of someone keying in one character of the 16 character the VIN for a stolen vehicle incorrectly and it matching mine, it also pretty fair. If my VIN is one character away from another it's very likely to be the same year, make, model, and color... At least I would think so. But the likelihood of my VIN matching the mis-typed VIN of another vehicle with the same plate is very, very, very low. But, I fear that my explanation didn't sound as credible when being given by a guy in handcuffs and surrounded by 4 police cruisers.

kceyagi: isanah: belakqwa: isanah: medievalpoc: belakqwa: medievalpoc: via EvilMarguerite on Twitter I’m against putting POC characters in tales of European origin, because, y’know, historical and ethnic accuracy is an actual thing. It’s folklore and it comes from this or that European culture so, yes, accuracy IS a thing. BUT. I’m all for making more movies based on mythology and folklore of other cultures, for example, African or Native American ones. This I support, it would be a great thing. Because, in all honesty, no one needs Black or Asian Cinderella, that’s just stupid (and, yes, inaccurate). but everyone needs more tales about a child lost in the forest meeting spirits and forest gods. Or at least lets make a movie using an Asian variant of Cinderella fairy tale, there’s more than one, y’know? Because I’m all for accuracy and I’m all for representing more than one dominant culture in multicultural society. Are you for real? I bolded the above statements because you know what? *I* needed a Black Cinderella. And I bet a lot of readers here did, too. We still do. Because of colonialism, most of us have been force-fed European history, mythology, fairy tales, and Medievalism; told it’s the best, the highest, the only. It’s everywhere we look: movies, cartoons, books, tv shows, and we’re told that this is something you are required to learn, and in some cases, the only context you’re allowed for your imagination, but it’s not really for you. It’s not about you. Because you aren’t “Historically Accurate.” That can go to hell and so can you. Because you know what? Our histories, once again, because of colonialism, kidnapping, enslavement, genocide, are marginalized, misunderstood, and misrepresented. They’re stolen from us and given to white people considered “more qualified” to tell them, and they make millions of dollars off of those misrepresentations. Entire libraries and histories were purposely, methodically burned in order to disempower people of color. These stories, when they survive, are made illegal to teach, specifically because they empower people of color! People of color are removed from their own stories and their own contexts and replaced with white people, because Ridley Scott “can’t mount a film of this budget, where I have to rely on tax rebates in Spain, and say that my lead actor is Mohammad so-and-so from such-and-such.I’m just not going to get it financed.” You claim you’re all for accuracy? And yet, a “Black or Asian Cinderella” is in your words, “just stupid”??? None of these women are “Accurate” to base a Cinderella on?? [source] [source] [source] [source] All of these women are just automatically disqualified from having their own Cinderella Story because of their races? No matter how “Historically Accurate” they are? [source on all images here] I think we can have both, all, and more. We can tell our own stories, make our own media, AND have a Black AND and Asian AND a Native American AND a Pacific Islander AND a Latina and any other Cinderella we choose. Our stories are worth telling, and for some of us, whose cultures have been crushed by multiple genocides, who have been colonized, who have had our imaginations replaced with Eurocentrism, we are allowed and entitled to our own Cinderella stories, whatever new and beautiful form they take. Also, guess what? There is, in fact, at least ONE Asian Cinderella, told centuries before Perrault’s version. It takes place in China. Did you miss the part where I talked about Asian version of Cinderella and other versions on purpose? Because either you didn’t see it even though it’s a black text on a white background and it’s really hard not to notice or you ignored this part on purpose. Anyway. You are free to read my posts in my folklore tag. I already explained everything enough times to the people who only read those parts of my comments that let them be angry as they like. Ah, yes, you did. My mistake. But why did you call it a variant, when others have existed prior to Perrault’s for centuries and you still call it historically inaccurate to have black or Asian Cinderellas? Okay, but OP states from their original post: “Because, in all honesty, no one needs Black or Asian Cinderella, that’s just stupid (and, yes, inaccurate).” In my experience, using the word “stupid” to describe something is entirely about shutting down other people’s opinions/thoughts and dismissing them despite the evidence that they’re wrong. I skimmed through the folklore tag of the OP and it looks like they’re against racebending stating that people should be represented with their own culture’s stories. Which I guess makes sense from a non-US point of view. But what about the kids growing up in the US who may not feel like just one type of story from their culture is enough representation? And it’s like OP’s forgetting that white people (I know OP isn’t white) borrow/steal aspects of other cultures and mash them together into awful adaptions. Firefly? Cinder? Big Hero 6? Pretty sure nobody was trying to be accurate or respectful of sharing aspects from another culture when those came out. Other than some confusion over who exactly is being addressed as “OP”, I really must say the backpedaling here is more or less what I expected. "Keep white Cinderella white" with a smattering of "make your own!" isn’t exactly the answer to needing more representation. Black and Asian Cinderella isn’t inaccurate, it isn’t "stupid", and removing the context of the actual current situation doesn’t help fix it either. Here: Western Neutral: Separating Common Culture From “Whiteness” ^ If anyone needs help reframing this discussion. I’m saying that people of color DO NOT HAVE TO BE OTHERED TO BE ACCURATE. We don’t need “exotic retellings” or “other versions” or “YOUR culture’s story”. People of color can JUST be “Cinderella”. This whole thread ^ is how marginalization works. I am pushing back against that. And I will keep providing as much visual, cultural, and textual ballast as is required to help any and every Cinderella out there feel empowered to claim it. I want people of color to stop being pushed OUT. I want people of color to feel entitled to Cinderella. Saying that people should be represented with “their own cultures stories” ignores the lived reality of people living in diasporas, in a global age, in a postcolonial reality. It strips people of the culture they live in. Are you really going to make a case that literally anything about say, the American Disney Cinderella from 1950, is a cultural claim for people in some time in Europe? It’s definitely not Medieval. It’s definitely not Victorian. It’s not set in a particular nation. As a matter of fact, note the poster’s claim: Because let’s stop mincing words. There’s no specific cultural claim here. It’s not a claim for “European only” because Europeans of color exist. This is a claim for whiteness. It’s part of the cultural claim that specifically American white people feel toward European History. The myth of the monochrome Middle Ages, in which the medieval is originary, pure, and white, transcends geographical and temporal boundaries. It is attached, through supposed biological descent, to white bodies, wherever and whenever they go, even into the apparently non-corporeal digital realms of fan-forums, television and video-games. There are many fans of color of popular culture medievalisms, but a hostile milieu which consistently repeats the messages that ‘you don’t belong in the Middle Ages’ and the ‘the Middle Ages are not yours’ actively discourages setting out on, let alone completing, a journey from interested fan to professional scholar. And I know that there are many Europeans of color who feel differently, identify differently, and have an entirely different relationship with their heritage. There are many, many, many discussions that people attempt to have with me that cannot and SHOULD NOT be had with me, or this blog. Here’s a message, shared with permission: (this is in response to your post medievalpoc.tumblr.com/post/105371046543/belakqwa-medieva...) I totally agree with ”we can have all and more” and you have some good info/arguments. However, you need to understand the essence of the discomfort that a lot of us (non american and some american) black people have in regards to seeing ourselves only in a European narratives. Black people have lives and cultures outside of Europe/America. I’m tired of seeing black princess in European garbs. I want to see more princesses celebrating cultures from Africa. I want to see the clothes and the jewelery from OUR continent. I want to see the tales of OUR continent on OUR continent. We had cultures and history just as much as medieval Europeans did. European cultures have enough exposure in the world. We are not defined by our presence in Europe. Our history doesn’t start when we had first contact with Europeans. All of these paintings are nice, but I don’t feel valued by them. All these people came from somewhere (or had non European origins) and their cultures where never valued in these representations. If we’ve been kicked out of our own stories, I want first and foremost to be put back in them. I want the priority to be put in my narrative before constantly being mirrored into a foreign European one. Yes we have a presence in Europe, yes we have cultural influence in Europe, yes its not inaccurate to have a black princess is Elizabethan or Victorian dresses. But Europe is not essentially us. Our African cultures and heritage are always erased just to prove we had some kind of prestige in Europe too. I know you’re not black and you might not get this. The opinions are mitigated and Black people in America seem to forget that blackness isn’t just them and they cannot define blackness for the rest of us non-Americans. ( you can publicly post this if you want)— sailorpoompoom (^ Please take care to note the above; I am not Black and discussions of Black identity should not involve me. “People of color” is generally considered an American identity, born of necessity in our sociopolitical and cultural situation.) And there’s is always room for these discussions. One thing’s validity doesn’t make the other moot. One is not more important than the other. One discussion doesn’t eclipse the other. One issue’s existence doesn’t negate the other. Many Americans are mixed-race and/or multicultural in and of themselves. Some of us do not know what race we are, what culture we come from, or have access to these kinds of connections with history. Too many of us have had cultures we should be entitled to denied to us. We are put in categories based on our appearance, regardless of heritage or cultural ties. Essentially, this has become a discussion over which “race”, however it’s categorized, owns the idea of Cinderella. My answer, which is EVERYONE, should not be controversial in my humble opinion. However, it has become obvious that it IS controversial for some people. Critical thinking demands that we ask ourselves why. We all speak from our own knowledge and our own experience, and I’m no exception. What I am trying to speak on is the importance of diversity in perspectives. I am trying to show how psychologically, physically, and spiritually damaging it is to say something is only for white people, because of the entire context of history and social reality of white supremacy. Medievalpoc is only capable of addressing a tiny and very specific fragment of a massive issue*. It’s my hope that people can see this as evidence as the work that needs to be done, as opposed to a failure of work that has been done so far. No one source is good enough to meet every need. It’s not about closing down discussions, but about diversifying the perspectives of the discussions at hand, and that the people affected by them are the ones having the discussions. ________ *Using what is here to address other issues is definitely possible, but is not its purpose, and harm can be caused when using a screwdriver to perform surgery, to use a rather ugly metaphor. That does not, however, render screwdrivers universally unnecessary, or people who use screwdrivers for their intended purposes blameworthy.

What is the Most Accurate Thermometer for Home Use

 

The best thermometer is the one you can use most comfortably and correctly. This is also helpful if your thermometer is from a reliable smart thermometer company.

 

Rectal thermometers are still considered by many medical professionals to be the gold standard for babies and children. However, in these age groups, oral and forehead readings are usually very reliable.

 

Please always keep in mind that temperature readings vary depending on how the thermometer is used:

 

The rectal thermometer reading will be about 0.5°F (0.3°C) to 1°F (0.6°C) higher than the oral temperature reading.

 

The tympanic thermometer reading is usually 0.5°F (0.3°C) to 1°F (0.6°C) higher than the oral temperature reading.

 

The armpit thermometer reading may be 0.5°F (0.3°C) to 1°F (0.6°C) lower than the oral temperature reading (and may be the least reliable).

 

The time thermometer reading is usually 0.5°F (0.3°C) to 1°F (0.6°C) lower than the oral temperature reading.

Athletes and coaches compete in the last two weeks of Friday Night Lights, the fitness competition held at CrossFit Scottsdale. Competitors from all over the valley (including Matt Lucas from CrossFit Southwest who earned third place overall in Men’s RX) put their strength, speed, endurance, power, flexibility and even accuracy to the test during the workout routines. The athletes with the most training, nutrition, and an elite level of physical fitness prevailed. Coach Luke Kayyem won the Rx Division for the men while Coach Melissa Einbinder won for the females. Several athletes qualified for the Southwest Regional competition, the next path to the Reebok Sponsored CrossFit Games.

We do more than just fitness at CrossFit Scottsdale. Not only did we see amazing results from our athletes during the Body RX challenge finals, but we also held a self defense clinic to help them learn how to “Improve their odds.” While students are used to showing their power, strength, speed, accuracy, and agility, this week we have given them a chance to show off their new and improved physique as well as learn to defend them from becoming a victim of an attack. Great things are always happening at CrossFit Scottsdale.
