role of women in the art of ancient Greece. Any income from this site in the past has been used only to suport the site, and not my affinity for the <a href="http://www.kingsolomons.com/greek/online-slots/">¦Á¿Åıº¹±</a>, or the modern-day Greek slots games. Unfortunately there is no board of directors/reviewers to assure that this site has a charitable purpose. Should such a board become available then the status of the site may change to 'charible institution'. Applications for board members/reviewers are being accepted. At any present time no guarantee can be made of the current status of the site. (6-17-2011)</p> <p>I am a professional computer based educator with a Master's degree in computer based education from the University of Akron. I constructed this website because I wanted to explore the possibilities of computer based education using the internet. I threw out about fifty pages losely related to three topics of my interest: computers, environment, and art. One of the pages dealt with an interpretation of the politics of Amazons using their representation in art. After about one and a half years a student wrote to inquire if I could help with other women in ancient Greece. I said I could but my communication was interrupted. I had to set up a sytem whereby the students could communicate with me in a way other than email. The system I set up allowed students to ask questions and I published the answers on the page of interest. The communication in this area continues to escalate to up to 20,000 hits a day on one of 80 pages on the role of women in the art of ancient Greece. The other 49 topics never received any significant number of hits. I suppose the demos were busy at the <a href="http://www.hellasvegas.gr/">kazino</a> in this instance. This data was presented in a paper to the Ohio Academy of Science 2001. In 2002 a paper was presented documenting the diversity of users in the world.</p> <pre> Frederick John Kluth FJKluth Art Gallery, 300 N.
