Jon Frey, Michigan State University professor of Art and Art History talks about the reuse of building materials in late Roman and Byzantine buildings and into the Medieval period
No full textJon Frey, Michigan State University professor of Art and Art History and author of "Spolia in fortifications and the common builder in late antiquity", talks about the reuse of building materials in late Roman and Byzantine buildings and into the Medieval period, especially those elements with Latin or Greek inscriptions. Frey talks about literacy rates during those periods and asks if the elements were actually meant to be read or if it was sufficient to the builder that they be recognized simply as ancient writing. Frey is introduced by the Head of the Fine Arts Library, Terrie Wilson

Tullock challenges : happiness, revolutions, and democracy
No full textGordon Tullock is one of the most important of the founders and contributors to Public Choice. Two innovations are typical "Tullock Challenges." The first relates to method: the measurement of subjective well-being, or happiness. The second relates to digital social networks, such as Facebook, Twitter, and to some extent Google. Both innovations lead to strong incentives by governments to manipulate the policy outcomes. In general, "What is important will be manipulated by the government." To restrain government manipulation, one has to turn to Constitutional Economics and increase the possibilities for direct popular participation and federalism or introduce random mechanisms
Aphaniosoma suboculicauda Frey 1958
No full text<i>Aphaniosoma suboculicauda</i> Frey, 1958 Material examined <p>YEMEN • 1 ♂; Ta‘Izz; Aug.1999; A. van Harten and A. Awad leg.; light trap; NMWC • 1 ♀; same collection data as for preceding; Oct.1999; NMWC • 1 ♀; same collection data as for preceding; 5 Jan.– 2 Feb. 1998; NMWC.</p> Remarks <p> Frey’s description is accurate, and he likens this species to <i>A. oculicauda</i> based on colour pattern, but this is now known to be unreliable. However, the general appearance and the chaetotaxy (fronto-orbitals, pair of setae in front of ocellar triangle and 1 strong dorsocentral) place it in the same group of species as <i>A. fissum</i>, <i>A. lamellatum</i> and <i>A. oculicauda</i>. Frey’s figure of the hypopygium is difficult to interpret. The type series was examined by the present author and the hyopygium illustrated in more detail (Ebejer 2009: 408, fig. 52). Until now this species was thought to be endemic to the Cape Verde Islands. Its presence in Yemen would suggest that it is probably more widespread in the eremic zone between West Africa and Arabia.</p> Distribution <p>Cape Verde Islands (Frey 1958b).

Imbalance of World Heritage List: did the UNESCO strategy work?
No full textThe official intention of the UNESCO World Heritage List is to protect the global heritage. However, the imbalance of the distribution of Sites according to countries and continents is striking. Consequently, the World Heritage Committee launched the Global Strategy for a Balanced, Representative and Credible World Heritage List in 1994. To date, there have not been any empirical analyses conducted to study the impact of this strategy. This paper shows that the imbalance did not decrease and perhaps increased over time, thus reflecting the inability of the Global Strategy to achieve a more balanced distribution of Sites.UNESCO, international organizations, international political economy, global public goods, world heritage
