DESCRIPTION: The Markhor is the largest species of goat family and is famous for its stunning twisting horns. Markhor is usually found in mountainous parts of Central Asia. Markhor habitat consists of dry mountains with cliffs. They graze in areas with sparse forest and many wooded shrubs. We offer3 days Markhor watching and photography in Shurobod region with departure from Dushanbe. The best time to see Markhor goats is in winter and early spring. You will also be able to see other wildlife on this tour like wild Boars, Ibex and many birds. Our guides have vast experience observing and studying Markhor and other wildlife. They will make sure you have fun, take lots of pictures, observe different age groups, and experience the culture and hospitality of conservancy families. We offer Markhor tours all year round. In the summer, however, they are more difficult to reach, as they tend to go up to an altitude of above 2500-3500 m (8200-11,482 feet), hence the tour should be prolonged. The remainder of the season, they are easier to spot. Equipment like binoculars and watching scopes is provided on this tour. Note: This is a promotional trip and is sold cheaper than usual 3 days Markhor spotting tour. The participant is obliged to write a trip report and leave feedback about the tour after the completion. SHORT ITINERARY: Day 1: Dushanbe – Darvaz Day 2: Darvaz Day 3: Darvaz – Dushanbe CONSERVATION: Association of Nature Conservation Organizations of Tajikistan (ANCOT) supports the conservation of wildlife in areas managed by people from the local communities. These organizations – being it local NGOs or small family businesses – are rooted in the local communities and aim at providing benefits to the whole populations of the areas where they are active. Through the revenues generated from tourism, we motivate these local communities to protect their natural recourses and wildlife. Thus participating in this tour you are contributing to the conservation of endangered wildlife species and their habitats in Tajikistan.Day 1: Dushanbe – Anjirob Elevation range: 900-1920-900m/2952-6299-2950feet Driving distance: 245km/152miWe start off from Dushanbe early in the morning and drive to Shamsidini Shohin region in Shurobod. You will need to get your GBAO permits in advance as we will cross a checkpoint where you will be asked for permit. Our drive will take about 5 hours with multiple rest and bird spotting stops mainly in Norak reservoir area and Agricultural fields in Dangara. After passing Shurobod checkpoint on the way down to Anjirob village we will make a bigger spotting stop at a place called zamok or castle in English. Zamok is an observation point of Saidi Tagnob conservancy from where rangers monitor the wildlife and human activities in their territory. Here we will be searching for Markhor goats. Later we will drive to Anjirob village where a hearty lunch will be waiting for us in the house of a local family. After the lunch we will drive to Chusk mounatins from where we will hike downhill to the Panj river. Here we might see Markhor goats from closer distance. Our car will be waiting us at the end of the trail and will take us back to the village. Overnight in the village guesthouse.Day 2: Anjirob to Kisht Elevation range: 900-2100m/2952-6890feet Hiking distance: 9-14,5km/6-9mi Driving distance: 16km/10mi Having breakfast early in the morning we will drive to Kisht conservancy today. It is yet another conservancy managed by local family of traditional hunters established more recently in 2016. And since then rangers of the conservancy have worked tirelessly providing annual wildlife monitoring and wildlife management in their territory which resulted in a tremendous success in population rise of Markhor goats in their territory. Here we will hike the kisht valley along the Khudkham river and through the canyons. We will hike 9km to the rangers hut. From the hut there will be several other hiking options to see the markhor, one of which is more strenuous uphill hike to the Sakha viewpoint on top the mountain. The hike is rewarded with almost 100% chance of seeing the markhor goats, and exceptionally beautiful eroded mountain formations of lower Hazratishoh mountain range. Tonight we will stay either at Sakha or in the first hut. Night in tents. Day 3: Kisht to Dushanbe Driving distance: 261km/162mi Depending on where we stayed last night we will either hike to the observation point or just watch the Markhor goats from the Sakha viewpoint if we stayed at the upper hut. The best times to observe the incredible mammals is in the morning, when they usually come down on the slopes of the mountains in search of forage. We then hike back to Kisht village and have lunch in our hosts house. After the lunch we drive back to Dushanbe.

Meat tenderness relies on connective tissue, and muscle proteolytic ability. The use of various chemical tenders is the subject of the majority of research studies on the meat tenderness. However, there are certain drawbacks of these chemical tenders on one or the other sensory characteristics of meat. Few natural tenderizers may be used to counteract these adverse effects of chemical goods. Natural tenderizers are certain vegetables and fruits containing proteolytic enzymes that are responsible for rough meat tenderization. The use of exogenous proteases to enhance the tenderness of meat received tremendous interest in order to consistently produce meat tenderness as well as add value to low- grade cuts. The overview elaborates the sources, characteristics, and uses of plant proteases for the tenderization of meat. Furthermore, it highlights the impact of plant protease on the meat quality and effect on the meat proteins. Plant enzymes (including papain, ficin and bromelain) have been thoroughly studied as tenderizers for meat.

The same evening a performance art selection will showcase this intriguing culture. The Yakut people are the largest ethnic group in the Sakha Republic, a state with a population of almost a million people. It is located in eastern Siberia and spans three time zones. The Yakut share a story remarkably similar to the local Pomo in California. The discovery of gold and the building of the Trans- Siberia Railway brought ever-increasing numbers of Russians to their isolated region. Persecution by the Soviet government in the 1920s reduced their numbers to one-half of the current population, but they now form the federation’s majority population and are experiencing a revival of their culture. The festival continues through Sunday, June 22, with classes in jewelry, wood carving, and other Yakut crafts at Gualala Arts Center and at Fort Ross. Dinners at both venues will feature The 2014 Global Harmony Season of Sakha cuisine. Also, there will be talks on the role Yakut played Offerings culminates with a week-long at Fort Ross, on their spiritual beliefs, and the lifestyle and festival on the Mendonoma coast with cultural revival of indigenous people. activities at Gualala Arts Center, Fort Ross and the Gualala Point Regional Park.

  • Research Article Special Issue
    Journal of Fundamental and Applied Sciences Research Article ISSN 1112-9867 Special Issue Available online at http://www.jfas.info CULTURAL HERITAGE IN THE FOOD TRADITIONS OF THE SAKHA PEOPLE I. Z. Borisova∗, V. V. Illarionov, T. V. Illarionova North-Eastern Federal University 58 Belinski str., Yakutsk, Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), Russia, 677000 Published online: 08 August 2017 ABSTRACT The paper emphasizes the importance of studying the traditional Yakut/Sakha food as a historical, sociological, psychological and economic factor in the life of the ethnos. The Sakha are one of the most ancient Turkic peoples. Throughout many centuries, the Sakha managed to preserve their food traditions. Life in severe conditions and sharp continental climate affected the specific features of the Sakha nutrition. The Turkic dishes of the nomadic peoples were adapted to the conditions of the North under the influence of the local inhabitants. This special feature is characterized by the use of northern fish and berries as part of nutrition, while the traditional northern meal mainly consisted of horse meat and dairy products. Like many other Turkic-Mongolian peoples, the Sakha subdivide all food into white/үрүңас[urung as] (dairy food) and black/хара [khara] (meat food). In their cultural tradition, the Sakha would only begin eating the “black” food in winter after butchering cattle/идэhэ [ideghe]. In summer, after the national holiday Ыһыах [Ykhyakh] and during the haymaking season, the Sakha would eat “white” food and fish. Vegetables and flour were introduced to them later with the coming of the first Russians to the territory. Key words: food traditions, cultural heritage, Turkic culture, white (dairy) food/urung as, black (meat) food/khara.

  • 1 Abigail Eisenstadt Eastside High School Gainesville, FL Russia
    Abigail Eisenstadt Eastside High School Gainesville, FL Russia, Factor 18 Russia (Siberia): Food Insecurity, Mining, and the Promise of Infrastructure. Russia is not only ecologically diverse, but also culturally diverse. Russia’s population is divided among 8 regions and each of these regions has their own specially cultivated crops and traditions (“The World Factbook: Russia”). This essay will focus on one province: The Republic of Sakha, also called Yakutia, located in central Siberia, where only one percent of Russians live (Crate 135). Yakutia is located between the 57˚ and 75˚ longitude and the 110˚ and 160˚ latitude The size of Yakutia is comparable to five Frances and there are about 700,000 lakes in the entirety of Yakutia Statistics show there is only 0.3 people per kilometer squared, according to the population over land size, and most of these people are subsistence farmers or nomadic hunter-gatherers (Kumke et al). Natural parks and other conservation lands fill about 782,000 square kilometers of Yakutia, which is about 25 % of the total land. (Borisov et al). Sakha produces the majority of diamonds and antimony mined in Russia as well as huge amounts of oil and minerals, with an estimated potential monetary value over $10 trillion. However, most of their oil is currently consumed by Russia without any economic gain for Yakutia (Kempton 2). Although most of Russia’s population lacks food security, Siberia, in particular Yakutia, has food insecurity because of barriers to market access. The Republic of Sakha experiences food insecurity because of barriers to market access, such as infertile land, lack of transportation, economic dependence on Moscow, and mining corruption.

Zeh, Ph.D., Dean, Graduate School May 2019 i Abstract Basque gastronomy has become world-renowned over the last few decades, drawing locals and tourists alike to savor regional products, congregate over food and drink in neighborhood bars, and indulge in six-course meals in Michelin star establishments. This dissertation uses the concept of a functional pairing, uztartzea or maridaje (“pairing” respectively in Basque and Castilian), by analyzing the theoretical and practical ways in which Basque linguistic and cultural practices are being used in the promotion of gastronomic products, how such use of material goods affects the value of this minoritized language, and how these practices and material goods contribute to cultural maintenance and efforts related to language revitalization or normalization.

  • Lifestyle in Siberia and the Russian North
    Lifestyle in Siberia (ed.) Otto Habeck Joachim and the Russian North Edited by Joachim Otto Habeck This book draws on a wide range of theoreti cal perspecti ves – from Chaney and Bourdieu to Berger, Sontag and Bakhti n – and from ideas about nostalgia to theories of consumpti on, nati on, and ethnicity. The ethnographic detail in each chapter is impressive, and in my view is the real core of the book. It is a resource which will be widely used by Russian, Soviet and postsocialist specialists, by anthropologists, sociologists and geographers, and by anyone interested in cultural studies, material culture and consumpti on, and place and ethnicity. Lifestyle in Siberia —Dr. Frances Pine, Goldsmiths, University of London Lifestyle in Siberia and the Russian North breaks new ground by exploring the concept of lifestyle from a dis� nctly and the Russian North anthropological perspec� ve. Showcasing the collec� ve work of ten experienced scholars in the fi eld, the book goes beyond concepts of tradi� on that have o� en been the focus of previous research, to explain how poli� cal, economic and technological changes in Russia have created a wide range of new possibili� es and constraints in the pursuit Lifestyle in Siberia and the Russian North of diff erent ways of life. Each contribu� on is drawn from me� culous fi rst-hand fi eld research, and the authors engage with theore� cal ques� ons such as whether and how the concept of lifestyle can be extended beyond its conven� onally urban, Euro-American context and employed in a markedly diff erent se� ng.
