Gender equality
Sustainable development has gender equality as one of its primary objectives. Although many countries have implemented policy changes aimed at addressing gender inequality, the issue of limited access to employment opportunities for women remains prevalent. This study investigates (1) the underlying beliefs held by hotel managers regarding the hiring of women, (2) the role of different pressures in increasing women participation, and (3) potentia…
Who is Aboriginal? Variability in Aboriginal Identification between the Census and the APS in 2006 and 2012
Over the last 50 years, censuses have shown very substantial increases in the estimated sizes of Aboriginal populations in settler states such as Canada. Since these increases cannot be explained by demographic factors alone, authors have proposed that, as the situation of Aboriginal people has been under increasing public scrutiny, it has become more socially acceptable to report that one is Aboriginal. This may be an explanation for increases b…
In praise of the simple life
The article presents a new fragment (NF 136), discovered in June 2003, of the Greek inscription set up by the Epicurean philosopher Diogenes of Oinoanda. The text is part of Diogenes' writing Old Age . Although brief, it is interesting, not least on account of its similarity to a well known passage of Lucretius (2.20–36). It begins with mention of ‘an elaborate house with fretted and gold-spangled ceilings’, evidently as something to be avoided, …

Environmental Antinomianism The Moral World Turned Upside Down
Elementary, my dear Lycians
Since 1968 Oinoanda in northern Lycia has been the scene of investigations by members of the British Institute of Archaeology at Ankara. A major objective of the work has been the discovery and rediscovery of pieces of the Greek inscription set up, probably in the first half of the second century AD, by the Epicurean philosopher Diogenes. In 1997, with the generous permission and support of the Directorate-General of Monuments and Museums and wit…
The introduction to Diogenes of Oinoanda's Physics
One of the best-known bits—perhaps the best-known bit—of the inscription of Diogenes of Oinoanda is frs. 2–3, in which the author explains what motivated him to display Epicurean doctrines in epigraphical form

Diogenes of Oinoanda
New Readings in the Demostheneia Inscription from Oinoanda
The inscription with which these notes are concerned relates to the institution of a musical festival at Oinoanda in northern Lycia by C. Iulius Demosthenes in the A.D. 120S. Carved on a block of limestone measuring 1·87 m. (height) × c. 1·05 m. (width) × 0·25 m. (depth), it was discovered in June 1967 by J. Borchhardt at Kemerarası, an ancient site below the hill of Oinoanda on its northern side, just across the river (the upper Xanthos or Seki …
New Votive Reliefs from Oinoanda
The votive reliefs presented here are previously unpublished. No. 3 was discovered by M. F. Smith in 1981, when he was participating in the epigraphical and topographical survey of Oinoanda conducted by the British Institute of Archaeology at Ankara (B.I.A.A.) under the direction of the late Alan S. Hall. The fountain (if that is what it was) bearing four reliefs and inscriptions (no. 4) was also discovered by Smith, who recorded it in 1968 and 1…
Lucretius 3.962
Notes on Lucretius
In 294 most modern scholars either accept rapidique or adopt Lachmann's rapideque . An exception is Romanes, who oddly favours rapidisque , which he takes with impetibus crebris , placing a comma after corripiunt . If rapidique is read, one has to assume that Lucretius is writing as though venti , not flamina , were the subject. There are parallels for this kind of grammatical irregularity (e.g. 1.190, 352, if the text is sound), but there is no …
Comparison of the acceptability of traditional Cameroon sauces made with addition of oil seeds to improve nutritional value
Nutrition in West Africa as a whole and in Cameroon in particular is not an issue of human survival. Rather, it is one of supplementing traditional foods to increase nutrition in the predominantly carbohydrate diet. Oilseeds such as winged bean, groundnut, melon seed (egusi), and soybean can add substantial protein and calorie content to the diet. For this study, those oilseeds were ground into a paste and added to cassava leaves, huckleberry lea…
Processing Effects of Expectancy-Discrepant Persuasive Messages
The effects of expectancy disconfirmation on depth of message processing and persuasion were investigated in two experiments on personal selling. In Exp. 1, subjects read an apocryphal sales presentation containing various arguments, one of which was either expected or unexpected in terms of claimed product superiority. Textual location of this manipulated claim was at the end of the message. Consistent with O'Brien and Myers' (1985) reprocessing…
A Note on Colonel W. M. Leake
In AS XXXVII (1987) 23–35 J. M. Wagstaff writes interestingly of “Colonel Leake and the Classical Topography of Asia Minor”. Leake succeeded in identifying a large number of ancient sites in Asia Minor. Dr. Wagstaff is well aware of this and naturally enough does not make it his business to list them all. However, in view of current B.I.A.A. work at Oenoanda and Balbura in the Cibyratis, it seems worth pointing out, as a footnote to his article, …
Diogenes of Oenoanda, New Fragments 122–124
The first fragments of the Epicurean inscription of Diogenes of Oenoanda were discovered by M. Holleaux and P. Paris one hundred years ago, in December 1884, and it is particularly satisfying to be able to mark the centenary of this significant event by publishing three new fragments of Diogenes' work. The fragments were discovered by members of a British Institute of Archaeology at Ankara team, which spent two weeks at Oenoanda in the summer of …
Eight New Fragments of Diogenes of Oenoanda
All but one of the previously unpublished fragments of Diogenes' inscription presented in this article were discovered at Oenoanda by members of a British Institute of Archaeology at Ankara team in the summer of 1977. The exception is NF 108, which (see under NF 108, Discovery ) was recorded by an Austrian epigraphist a mere seventy-five summers earlier. In 1977 the aims were to carry forward the topographical and epigraphical survey begun in 197…
Fifty-five New Fragments of Diogenes of Oenoanda
This is the second publication of new fragments of Diogenes discovered by participants in the Oenoanda project of the British Institute of Archaeology at Ankara. Thirteen of the twenty-three fragments which came to light in 1974 have already been published (Smith H). The present work presents the remaining ten fragments (NF 55, 57, 66, 68, 70, 73, 81, 83, 92, 101) found in 1974, forty-four fragments discovered in 1975, and one fragment (NF 94) re…
