From Mott Street to East Broadway: Fuzhounese Immigrants and the Revitalization of New York’s Chinatown
Authors: Guest Kenneth J. 
Published: January 2013

AbstractSince the early 1980s, immigrants from Fuzhou, southeast China, have revitalized and expanded New York’s Chinatown in Manhattan and established satellite Chinese communities in Brooklyn and Queens. Fuzhounese entrepreneurs have transformed the ethnic enclave economy of Chinatown into the staging platform for a dynamic national ethnic restaurant economy in which East Broadway in Lower Manhattan has become the central hub for the circulation of capital, labor, goods and know-how. Despite recent revitalization, Chinatown’s future as a gateway for new labor immigrants is threatened by real estate speculation and gentrification in the Manhattan and Brooklyn Chinatown areas.
A Special Intermittence and Continuity in Local History: The Chinese Diaspora and Their Hometown in Battlefield Quemoy during 1949-1960s
Authors: Bo-wei Chiang 
Published: January 2013

Abstract
From 1949, Quemoy became the battlefront between the warring Nationalists and Communists as well as the frontline between Cold War nations. Under military rule, social and ideological control suppressed the community power of traditional clans and severed their connection with fellow countrymen living abroad. For 43 long years up until 1992, Quemoy was transformed from an open hometown of the Chinese diaspora into a closed battlefield and forbidden zone. During the war period, most of the Quemoy diasporic Chinese paid close attention to the state of their hometown including the security of their family members and property. In the early 1950s, they tried to keep themselves informed of the situation in Quemoy through any available medium and build up a new channel of remittances. Furthermore, as formal visits of the overseas Chinese were an important symbol of legitimacy for the KMT, Quemoy emigrants had been invited by the military authority to visit their hometown since 1950. This was in fact the only channel for the Chinese diaspora to go home. Using official files, newspapers and records of oral histories, this article analyzes the relationship between the Chinese diaspora and the battlefield, Quemoy, and takes a look at the interactions between family and clan members of the Chinese diaspora during 1949-1960s. It is a discussion of a special intermittence and continuity of local history.
Seeking Residency from the Courts: The Chinese Experience in the Post-White Australia Era
Authors: Gao Jia 
Published: January 2013

Abstract
In 1974 Australia officially abandoned its “White Australia” policy. Since then hundreds of thousands of Chinese have migrated to the country, first from Southeast Asian countries, then from Vietnam, Hong Kong and Taiwan before direct immigration from China resumed in the mid-1980s. Lately, Australia has placed more emphasis on admitting skilled and business migrants, but has still maintained an annual intake of tens of thousands of Chinese, making China the third largest source of overseas-born Australians. Many believe that the Chinese have come to Australia under its normal migration program, such as the skilled, business or family programs thus overlooking the fact that a high proportion of them have obtained their residency in Australia either directly or indirectly only after having gone through Court battles. This paper seeks to examine how many of the Chinese have fought for residency in the courts, and to outline the characteristics of their experience in the post-White Australia era. It aims to provide an analysis of the complex dimensions of global migration and transnational politics where certain aspects of socio-political life and politics of the immigrants’ home country have conflicted with the immigration policies and procedures of their receiving country and gradually become part of the politics of the host country.
The Internet and Hoisan-wa in the U.S.: Counter-Hegemonic Discourses and Shifting Language Ideologies
Authors: Leung Genevieve Y. 
Published: January 2013

Abstract
This report explores some aspects of the language ideologies discussed on the Internet about Hoisan-wa, a variety of Cantonese. Informed by a language ideology framework, it looks at two YouTube videos and users’ comments regarding them. The findings of the report demonstrate a shift in language beliefs about speaking Hoisan-wa as less of a “harsh-sounding, mere dialect” to more of a public declaration of pride in being speakers or descendants of this language background. The author also discusses the prospects for Hoisan-wa language maintenance and how technology can aid in this process.
Research Report Studying Nonya Ceramics in the Singapore-Melaka Region and Their Larger Historical and Artistic Background
Authors: Sim Teddy Yong Huei , Liu Sandy Jun Chih 
Published: January 2013

Abstract
The ethnic Chinese in Southeast Asia is a mature area of study, having benefited from the works of many distinguished scholars. This paper looks into the area of ceramic artifacts in the Peranakan Museum of Singapore and the Nonya Baba Museum of Melaka. The characteristics of the collection are explored in terms of the earlier material culture inherited by the Peranakans. It may be pertinent to make the point that from a “whole culture” approach, these ceramics used at the commonest, middle and higher levels embraced a cultural transference that might not be claimed by the Peranakans alone. Another important part of this investigation is the linkage made to the larger commercial networks in which these ceramics were traded.
Oud Holland terugblik en vooruitzien

Published: January 2013

AbstractThe present number of Oud-Holland is the first one to appear as publication of the Rijksbureau voor Kunsthistorische Documentatie, The Hague. The ever increasing exploitation losses have obliged our long-time publishers De Bussy & Co. to end their publication activities for the periodical. The editors greatly regret the termination of the ties with the firm of De Bussy. On the other hand, they appreciate very much the new lease of life accorded to Oud-Holland in consequence of the decision of Mr. P. J. Engels, Minister van Ctiltuur, Recreatie en Maatschappelijk Werk, to increase the Rijksbureau's budget with a sum covering exploitation costs of Oud-Holland as a publication of this state institute. After a short survey of the history of Oud-Holland follows a discussion of the critical financial situation which forced suspension of appearance throughout 7972 and which necessitated the above indicated changes, including an altered team of editors. As regards editing policy, they plan to broaden out the field covered by Oud-Holland chronologically, removing any restriction of period. While therefore, strictly speaking, the name of Oud-Holland is no longer quite applicable, it will be maintained for a number of reasons. Pubiishing findings of the Rijksbureau's staff, Oud-Holland will offer to the reader among other things a great many short notices of purely factual nature. Contributions by fellow students qf Netherlandish art will be welcome as ever and are cordially invited. In order to increase our circulation, the yearly subscription rate is reduced to f 50, -, while for subscriptions outside the Netherlands an additional f 0, 00 is charged for postage and packing. You are invited to support Oud-Holland by continuing your subscription, resp. by becoming a subscriber now.
Een episode uit de fabel van Erysichthon getekend door Maarten de Vos
Authors: Van Tatenhove J. 
Published: January 2013

AbstractIn the Rijksbureau voor Kunsthistorische Documentatie is a photograph from Max Friedländer's archives of a drawing as yet unmentioned in the literature (Fig. I). It is clearly in pen and wash and somewhat damaged. The subject is The Mountain Nymph Sent by Ceres Commands Hunger to Punish Erysichthon. Friedländer ascribed the drawing to Frans Floris, but it must be by Maarten de Vos (Note I ) . It is worthy of attention not only as one of De Vos's few drawings of subjects from Ovid's Metamorphoses (Note 2), but also because this story is rarely depicted, except in illustrations to editions of the, work in which the mountain nymph episode customarily figures (Note 3). Among the twelve independent representations of the story listed by Denzler (Note 4), only one shows the same moment in it as De Vos's drawing: an anonymous print published in Antwerp around 1550 (Fig.3, Note 5). A drawing by Tobias Verhaeght, who probably knew this print, has recently also been identified as showing the same subject (Note 6). De Vos's drawing is further from Ovid's text than either of these, but still far from original, since the composition is borrowed from a Metamorphoses illustration by Bernard Salomon or, more likely, the copy of it in reverse by Virgil Solis (Fig. 2, Note 7). A notable difference, however, is that De Vos, like the anonymous print and Verhaeght, depicts Hunger as a man, a clear departure from Ovid which appears to occur only in the Netherlands. It is also found in illustrations there, first in Pieter van der Borcht's (Note 8), which may be based on the anonymous print. De Vos and Verhaeght may also have been inspired by Van der Borcht's illustration or the print, but another source of inspiration for all three artists could have been the Dutch translation of the Metamorphoses by Joannes Florianus, published in Antwerp in 1552, where Hunger is also presented as a man (Note 9). Since its publication only three representations of the Erysichthon story have been added to Denzler's list (Note 10), the De Vos drawing now bringing the total to sixteen. To these can be added six prints by the little-known French artist George Boba (Note 11). At present it seems as if the episode of the meeting between the mountain nymph and Hunger attracted attention as a separate subject only in the Netherlands.
Aanvullingen op: Maerten van Heemskercks Familiegroep te Kassel
Authors: Bruyn J. 
Published: January 2013

AbstractFurther to an earlier article on Maerten van Heemskerck's Portrait of Pieter Jan Foppesz. and his family (PP. 13-22), two points require additioytal comment. From information kindly supplied by Mr Gerhard Fries it appears that, before being purchased under Holbein's name by Wilhelm VIII of Hesse-Kassel, the picture was in the collection of Charles Cressent, the well-known Paris cabinetmaker and sculptor. It was included in the sale announced for January 15th (but postponed to 23rd ) 1749. The author overlooked an article by Hans Ost (note 3), who challenged the current interpretation of the picture as representing a couple with three children and advanced the idea that what was thought to be the youngest child should be seen as the Christ Child. This view, hazardous though it may seem, is plausible and fits in well with an interpretation of the whole scene as even more pervaded by religious symbolism than was hitherto thought. The wine in the man's glass would seem to refer to the blood of Christ, and the idea of Passion and Redemption, already recognized in the symbolic fruits on the table, is manifest in the presence of the Christ Child holding a crucifix. What is known about the birth-dates of the two children (Jan and Cornelia; the latter stated her age to be about 50 in 1578) does not lead to any change in the date of c. 1530 already proposed for the picture.
'Notitie der Teekeningen van Sybrand Feitama', II: 'verkocht, verhandeld, verëerd, geruild en overgedaan'
Authors: Broos B.P.J. 
Published: January 2013

AbstractAfter the death of his father Isaac Feitama in 1709, the young Sybrand continued collecting, making several purchases that same year. Not all of them were happy ones, however. The Presentation in the Temple by Jan van Neck (Fig. 1, Note 2), bought from Simon Schijnvoet, proved to be a worked-up offset of the original drawing, which he eventually acquired from his friend Egidius Beukelaar in 1736 (Fig. 2, Note 3), so he sold it to L.F. Duboug in 1754 (Note 5). He seems not to have known that the original drawing was probably a preliminary study for the altarpiece mentioned by Houbraken as Van Neck's best work (Note 4). As in this case, so most of the background information on the Feitama drawings has been lost since the sale of 1758, the catalogue giving only a description of the subject, the measurements and the technique (Note 6). It is precisely the additional information that makes the 'Notitie' so fascinating, although the least interesting part of it now are the prices Sybrand 11 noted so carefully as his own main concern. It is worth noting, however, that exceptionally high prices are mentioned for sheets by Nicolaas Berchem, Gerard Dou, Frans van Mieris, Adriaen van Ostade and Adriaen van de Velde, Rembrandt coming nowhere by comparison. Some of the valuable information provided by the `Notitie' was dealt with in the previous article (Note 7). Some of this is very clear, e.g. in the case of a Ruisdael drawing virtually certainly to be identified with a view of the country-house Kostverloren (Fig. 3, Note 8). The authenticity of this work, which was bought by Cornelis Ploos van Amstel in 1758, has been doubted (Note 10), but the problem would seem to be solved by Feitama's note that it is one of those which Dirck Dalens acquired from Ruisdael's estate after 1682 and subsequently worked up (Note 11). Another of these is a view of Alkmaar now in Budapest (Fig. 4, Note 13). An example of additional information that might easily be overlooked is the note relating to a drawing by Frederik de Moucheron bought in 1745. This must have come from the album of
A preliminary phylogeny of the Palearctic naked-toed geckos (Reptilia: Squamata: Gekkonidae) with taxonomic implications

Published: January 2013

Palearctic naked-toed geckos are a group of gekkonid geckos that range from North Africa to northern India and western China, with their greatest diversity in Iran and Pakistan. Relationships among the constituent genera remain incompletely resolved and the monophyly of key genera remains unverified. Further, competing classifications are in current use and many species have been allocated to different genera by different authors. We used both mitochondrial (ND2) and nuclear genes (RAG1, PDC) to explore relationships among representatives of all but one genus in the group (Rhinogecko), including four genera not previously included in phylogenetic analyses (Asiocolotes, Altigekko, Indogekko, and Siwaligekko). Siwaligekko (and presumably other Tibeto-Himalayan species often referred to Cyrtopodion) are more closely related to tropical Asian Cyrtodactylus than to Palearctic naked-toed geckos. Sampled species of Asiocolotes and Altigekko are sister taxa, but both genera are here considered junior subjective synonyms of Altiphylax. Cyrtopodion sensu lato is non-monophyletic; Mediodactylus and Tenuidactylus, which have variably been considered as subgenera or synonyms of Cyrtopodion are both valid genera. Indogekko is embedded within Cyrtopodion and is here treated as a subgenus. Bunopus and Crossobamon are closely related to one-another, and with Agamura are interdigitated among taxa previously assigned to Cyrtopodion. Our data confirm the previous identification of a Saharo-Arabian Stenodactylus/Tropiocolotes/Pseudoceramodactylus clade and verify that Microgecko and Alsophylax are not members of the main clade of Palearctic naked-toed geckos. Osteological differences between Tropiocolotes and Microgecko, formerly treated as congeneric, are discussed and illustrated. The divergence between Cyrtodactylus and the Palearctic naked-toed clade predates the initial collision of the Indian and Eurasian plates, but deeper divergences within both groups are consistent with mountain building in the Himalayas and adjacent ranges as promoting cladogenic events. Miocene divergences within Tenuidactylus are consistent with vicariant speciation caused by uplift events in the Iranian and Transcaspian regions. Taxonomic implications of our phylogenetic results are discussed and a preliminary allocation of all species of padless Palearctic gekkonids to genus is provided.
A review of Western Palaearctic Amblyscelio and Baryconus (Hymenoptera: Platygastroidea, Platygastridae)
Authors: POPOVICI OVIDIU ALIN , MASNER LUBOMIR , NOTTON DAVID G. , POPOVICI MARIANA 
Published: January 2013

The European species of the genera Amblyscelio and Baryconus are reviewed and revised based on morphological data. Females of Amblyscelio striaticeps Kieffer, 1913 and Baryconus graeffei (Kieffer, 1908) are described and the ovipositor of Amblyscelio is illustrated for the first time. The monotypic genus Amblyscelio was previously known only from a single male specimen. Baryconus graeffei is confirmed as a distinct species, while B. orbus Kononova, 2008 is recognized as a junior subjective synonym of B. europaeus (Kieffer, 1908) syn. nov. These findings are supported by a principal component analysis (PCA) of ratios of various distance measurements. Amblyscelio striaticeps is newly recorded from Greece and Slovenia, Baryconus graeffei from France, Greece, Montenegro and Turkey and B. europaeus (Kieffer, 1908) from Croatia, France, Morocco, Portugal, Sicily, Spain and the United Arab Emirates.
Corrections, additions, and nomenclatural notes to the recently published World catalog of fossil and subfossil Lepidoptera
Authors: SOHN JAE-CHEON , LAMAS GERARDO 
Published: January 2013

Sohn et al. (2012) recently published an annotated catalog of lepidopteran fossils, which was the first attempt to compile all the known fossil specimens, described or undescribed, from the world literature. This publication provided paleontological data such as fossil type, specimen deposition, excavation locality, fossil host plants, and geological age for at least 4,568 specimens, including 229 described fossil species. As originally intended, the catalog already elicited correspondence with various specialists who found errors that the authors were unaware of. We are confident that usefulness of the catalog increases with such feedback. In this article, we provide an update to correct the errors in the publication, together with new information found since the catalog was published, including one new synonym (Baltopsyche Sohn, 2012, syn. nov. = Sucinopsyche Sobczyk, 2011); the proposed change of the nominal Zygaenites to a collective group name; and the resurrection of Satyrites Scudder, 1872 over Lethites Scudder, 1875.
The Impact of Anthropogenic Climate Change on North Atlantic Tropical Cyclone Tracks*
Authors: Colbert Angela J. , Soden Brian J. , Vecchi Gabriel A. , Kirtman Ben P. 
Published: January 2013

Abstract
The authors examine the change in tropical cyclone (TC) tracks that results from projected changes in the large-scale steering flow and genesis location from increasing greenhouse gases. Tracks are first simulated using a Beta and Advection Model (BAM) and NCEP–NCAR reanalysis winds for all TCs that formed in the North Atlantic Ocean’s Main Development Region (MDR) for the period 1950–2010. Changes in genesis location and large-scale steering flow are then estimated from an ensemble mean of 17 models from phase 3 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP3) for the A1b emissions scenario. The BAM simulations are then repeated with these changes to estimate how the TC tracks would respond to increased greenhouse gases. As the climate warms, the models project a weakening of the subtropical easterlies as well as an eastward shift in genesis location. This results in a statistically significant decrease in straight-moving (westward) storm tracks of ~5.5% and an increase in recurving (open ocean) tracks of ~5.5%. These track changes decrease TC counts over the southern Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean by 1–1.5 decade−1 and increase counts over the central Atlantic by 1–1.5 decade−1. Changes in the large-scale steering flow account for a vast majority of the projected changes in TC trajectories.
Assessment of Trends and Possible Climate Change Impacts on Summer Moisture Availability in Western Canada based on Metrics of the Palmer Drought Severity Index
Authors: Gobena A. K. , Gan T. Y. 
Published: January 2013

Abstract
This paper compares three existing Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) formulations for simulating summer moisture variability in western Canada and a preliminary analysis of climate change impacts on summer moisture anomalies. The three models considered are Palmer's original algorithm (orPDSI), the self-calibrating PDSI (scPDSI), and a version modified for Canadian Prairie conditions (cpPDSI). In all formulations, potential evapotranspiration was parameterized by the Penman–Monteith method instead of the traditional Thornthwaite method. The scPDSI was used as a benchmark for evaluation as it is more appropriate for comparing drought severity of diverse climates. The results confirm that orPDSI produces inflated drought statistics as compared to scPDSI, whereas cpPDSI produced more conservative drought statistics than scPDSI. On the basis of results from scPDSI, historical moisture availability in the Canadian Prairies has shown a significant downward trend since 1950 at the 5% level, whereas southern British Columbia has shown a significant increasing trend. No discernible trend was found in the northern parts of the study area. These results were corroborated by trends in annual precipitation and summer temperature over the respective regions. When scPDSI parameters were calibrated using historical climate data, simulations for the 2050s using climate change scenarios from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Fourth Assessment Report (IPCC AR4) showed increases in summer moisture deficit relative to the 1961–90 baseline. However, projecting the extent to which the frequency of extreme drought and/or wet spell categories will change is not trivial since the computation of scPDSI is tied to the definition of the frequency of extreme events.
‘Where there’s a will, there’s a way’: The Supply Chain of MARVI Project, HANDS
Authors: Mustaghis-ur-Rahman  , Ahmed Sheikh Tanveer 
Published: January 2013

This case study concerns supply chain of a project ‘MARVI’. The acronym MARVI stands for ‘The Marginalized Areas RH (Reproductive Health) and FP (Family Planning) Viable Initiatives’. This project, funded by the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, was started by Health and Nutrition Development Society (HANDS), a Karachi-based integrated development NGO. This project was designed to pilot an integration of RH and FP with rural support programmes in Umerkot district, which is one of the most remote and poorest districts of Sindh, Pakistan. The modus operandi of this project is to operate in collaboration with other NGOs in the district through developing a community-based model of social marketing of RH and FP products. The macro objectives of this project are to increase awareness and positive RH and FP behaviours to improve the life of people in the district. For this project, HANDS team came up with a non-conventional method to reach out the community to supply the RH and FP products in the difficult economic, cultural and physical environment of the Umerkot district.  This case can be taught in Supply Chain, NGO Management, Reproductive Health and Family Planning disciplines.
