Get PDFBarry E. Hawk reviews Giuliano Amato, Antitrust and the Bounds of Power. This Book Review states that Professor Giuliano Amato has successfully written a refreshing and insightful book on antitrust policy after more than a century of US debate and almost half a century of European debate. In his highly enlightening opus on Antitrust and the Bounds of Power, Professor Amato writes from the Olympian heights as the former head of the well respected Italian Antitrust Authority, a former Prime Minister of Italy, and a present professor at the European University Institute in Florence. The book places antitrust law in the broader context of political theory and history. Although the author modestly states that the book is written for young people embarking on an immersion in antitrust law, seasoned antitrust veterans will greatly benefit from Professor Amato\u27s measured wisdom

<i>How Smooth Their Language: Authenticity and Interculturalism in the</i>Life of Black Hawk
No full textCritics seeking a paradigmatic moment in the history of Indian-white encounter will find few more suitable than the following from the life of Black Hawk, the Sauk rebel, U.S. prisoner of war, and subject if not author of theLife of Ma-Ka-Tai-Me-She-Kia-Kiak or Black Hawk(1833). The episode, reported by Thomas McKenney and James Hall inThe Indian Tribes of North America(1836–44), occurred after Black Hawk's brief, spectacular resistance to removal had been violently quelled; after he had been taken on a humbling tour of the East; and after his rival, Keokuk, had been installed by the United States as tribal chief. McKenney and Hall pick up the story at the conference where Keokuk's ascendancy is announced:They were then told by major Garland, that the President considered Keokuk the principal chief of the nation, and desired he should be acknowledged as such; he expected Black Hawk would listen, and conform to this arrangement. … From some mistake of the interpreter, Black Hawk understood that he wasorderedto submit to the advice of Keokuk, and became greatly excited. Losing all command of himself he arose, trembling with anger, and exclaimed: “I am a man — an old man. I will not obey the counsels of anyone! I will act for myself; no one shall govern me. …”Keokuk, in a low tone, said to him: “Why do you speak thus before white men? You trembled — you did not mean what you said.</jats:p
Drawing of Hawk Discovered under the Cartouche of Painted Screen from Shingongo Hall, the Eikyuji
Get PDFIn Nos. 187 and 224 of this journal, the author discussed the pair of paintings in Fujita Museum of Art showing Priest Śubhākarasimha at the Kaniṣka Stūpa and Priest Nāgārjuna at the Iron Caitya, which are reframed from the screens of the Shingondō Hall of the Eikyūji. Particularly in No. 224, she proved that these paintings were originally on the pair of screens placed at the east and west sides of the Shingondo Hall of the Eikyūji which was dedicated in the second year of the Hoen Era (1136), and that they were executed by the court painter, Munehiro FUJIWARA.
As these paintings have many scratches and other damaged places, a two-year project of repairing them was started at the workshop of Oka Bokkōdo, Kyoto, in April, 1968. During these repairs, when the cartouche that had been pasted on the painting of Priest Śubhākarasimha at the Kaniṣka Stūpa was temporarily removed, a small drawing of a hawk was found under it. In the present paper, this drawing of a hawk is introduced.
The bird concerned apparently has the characteristics of a hawk, that is a large beak, spotted wings and so on. As the drawing had been covered by the cartouche for about eight hundred years, its colours are well preserved and it has no later retouches. Its comparatively imprecise characteristics are perhaps due to the fact that Munehiro lacked the experience of seeing a real hawk and painted it in imitation of one in a manuscript.
Some people who have seen this drawing received the impression that it would be a scribbling. But it is certainly not a scribbling, judging from its style, technique and its formal pattern (Pls. II, III). The author thinks that it
was painted to represent circular flight, with its target the two cormorants depicted in the water's edge far below. The same kind of scene with a hawk and cormorants is seen in the screen painting of the house of Tadazane FUJIWARA depicted in Picture Scroll of the Miracles of the Gods of Kasuga Shrine (1309).
The reason why this hawk was covered by the cartouche inscribed by Sadanobu FUJIWARA, is not clear. As far as we see in the picture scrolls of the Heian Period, the cartouches were pasted mostly at the upper corner or a little lower, as in this case. The position must usually have been influenced by the composition. In the case of this painting, however, if it had been at the corner, the hawk would not have been covered and the cmposition would have been better. The other painting of this pair, that is, the painting of Priest Nāgārjuna at the Iron Caitya, now lacks its cartouche and the upper left portion where the cartouche existed is repaired. Its place is taken by a different sheet of silk and therefore the exact position of the original cartouche is unknown. In this case, too, the whole composition would be better if the cartouche had been pasted at the very corner.
The final right to decide where the cartouches were placed was that of the person who ordered the painting. In the case of the present work, such people as Priest Raijitsu who founded the Eikyūji and Priest Ryōe who was in charge of the construction of the hall, would have had the right to decide. Then, the present author supposes that such priests may have decided to conceal it since the subject was against the Buddhist teaching prohibiting the killing of any creature.journal articl
A Second Specimen Record of Red-Shouldered Hawk (\u3ci\u3eButeo lineatus\u3c/i\u3e) from Nebraska
Get PDFOn 9 February 1989, while walking in a wooded area of the Sass Farm (Nebraska: Otoe County; extreme northwest corner of county, T9N, R9E, Section 5), Robert and Hope Sass and Liz Otradovsky discovered a dead hawk they could not identify. Telephone conversations with Liz Otradovsky and instructions on how to legally transport the hawk to the University of Nebraska Museum (UNSM) resulted in delivery of the specimen. The specimen was well preserved and showed little or no sign of deterioration, drying, or scavenging by predators that would result from laying outside for a long period of time. It is probable that the bird had not been dead long when found. Identification of the specimen proved initially difficult for the author as well. Consultation of The Birds of Minnesota (Roberts, 1955) and its key to the species of birds of Minnesota revealed the specimen to be an immature Red-shouldered Hawl (Buteo lineatus)
Evolutionary dynamics of N-person Hawk-Dove games
Get PDFIn the animal world, the competition between individuals belonging to different species for a resource often requires the cooperation of several individuals in groups. This paper proposes a generalization of the Hawk-Dove Game for an arbitrary number of agents: the N-person Hawk-Dove Game. In this model, doves exemplify the cooperative behavior without intraspecies conflict, while hawks represent the aggressive behavior. In the absence of hawks, doves share the resource equally and avoid conflict, but having hawks around lead to doves escaping without fighting. Conversely, hawks fight for the resource at the cost of getting injured. Nevertheless, if doves are present in sufficient number to expel the hawks, they can aggregate to protect the resource, and thus avoid being plundered by hawks. We derive and numerically solve an exact equation for the evolution of the system in both finite and infinite well-mixed populations, finding the conditions for stable coexistence between both species. Furthermore, by varying the different parameters, we found a scenario of bifurcations that leads the system from dominating hawks and coexistence to bi-stability, multiple interior equilibria and dominating doves.National Natural Science Foundation of China [61374068]; Science Technology Development Fund, MSAR [066/2013/A2]; Government of Aragon, Spain; MINECO; FEDER funds [FIS2014-55867-P]; European Commission FET-Open Project Ibsen [662725]SCI(E)ARTICLE
