Cyprus ( Greek ??p???, transliterated Kýpros, IPA&_160;['k?ip?o?s]; Turkish Kibris), officially the Republic of Cyprus ( Greek ??p??a?? ??µ???at?a, Kypriaki´ Dimokratía, [k?ip?ia'k?i ðimo?k?a'tia]; Turkish Kibris Cumhuriyeti), is a Eurasian island country in the Eastern Mediterranean, south of Turkey and west of Syria and Lebanon. [6] It is the third largest island in the Mediterranean Sea and one of its most popular tourist destinations. [7] A highly developed country, [8][9] the Republic of Cyprus was a founding member of the Non-Aligned Movement[10] until its accession to the European Union on May 1, 2004. [11]The island has known human activity since around the 10th millennium BC and contains the well-preserved Neolithic village of Khirokitia, which has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, along with the Tombs of the Kings. It is home to some of the oldest water wells in the world,[12] and is the site of the earliest known example of feline-human association.[13][14] At a strategic location in the Middle East[15][16][17][18] or West Asia,[19][20] Cyprus has come under the occupation of various civilisations, including the Hittites, Persians, Byzantines, Arabs, and Ottomans. It was placed under British administration in 1878 until it was granted independence in 1960,[21] becoming a member of the Commonwealth the following year. In 1974, following 11 years of intercommunal violence[22] and an attempted coup d'état by Greek Cypriot nationalists,[23][24] Turkey invaded and occupied the northern portion of the island. The Turkish invasion led to the displacement of thousands of Cypriots and the establishment of a separate Turkish Cypriot political entity in the north. This event and its resulting political situation are matters of ongoing dispute. The Republic of Cyprus has de jure sovereignty over the entire island of Cyprus and its surrounding waters except small portions that are allocated by treaty to the United Kingdom as sovereign military bases. The Republic of Cyprus is de facto partitioned into two main parts, the area under the effective control of the Republic of Cyprus, comprising about 59% of the island's area and the Turkish-occupied area in the north,[25] calling itself the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, covering about 37% of the island's area and recognised only by Turkey. The name Cyprus has a somewhat uncertain etymology. One suggestion is that it comes from the Greek word for the Mediterranean cypress tree (Cupressus sempervirens), ??p???ss?? (kypárissos), or even from the Greek name of the henna plant (Lawsonia alba), ??p??? (kýpros). Another school suggests that it stems from the Eteocypriot word for copper. Georges Dossin, for example, suggests that it has roots in the Sumerian word for copper (zubar) or for bronze (kubar), from the large deposits of copper ore found on the island. Through overseas trade the island has given its name to the Classical Latin word for copper through the phrase aes Cyprium, "metal of Cyprus", later shortened to Cuprum.[26] Cyprus is also known as the Island of Aphrodite, Venus, or Love[27] since according to Greek mythology, Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty and love, was born in Paphos.

November 12, 2009
Plastic Adirondack chairs find themselves right smack dab in the middle of a class of furniture that is both functional and attractive.
