When night falls the clear sky which promotes intense heating during the day also causes rapid radiation in the night. Temperatures drop to well below 50°F. and night frosts are not uncommon at this time of the year.

It is known as the ‘big game country. • The leaf and grass-eating animals include the zebra, antelope, giraffe, deer, gazelle, elephant and okapi. • Many are well camouflaged species and their presence amongst the tall greenish-brown grass cannot be easily detected.

  • Conflict in Yemen: from Ethnic Fighting to Food Riots
    Conflict in Yemen: From Ethnic Fighting to Food Riots Andreas Gros, Alexander Gard-Murray and Yaneer Bar-Yam New England Complex Systems Institute 238 Main St. Suite 319 Cambridge MA 02142, USA (Dated: July 24, 2012) Abstract Yemen is considered a global terrorist base for Al-Qaeda and in recent years rampant violence is threatening social order. Here we show that the socio-economic origins of violence recently changed. Prior to 2008, violence can be attributed to inter-group conflict between ethnically and religiously distinct groups. Starting in 2008, increasing global food prices triggered a new wave of violence that spread to the endemically poor southern region with demands for government change and economic concessions. This violence shares its origins with many other food riots and the more recent Arab Spring. The loss of social order and the opportunities for terror organizations can be best addressed by directly eliminating the causes of violence. Inter-group violence can be addressed by delineating within-country provinces for local autonomy of ethnic and religious groups. The impact of food prices can be alleviated by direct food price interventions, or by addressing the root causes of global food price increases in US policies that have promoted conversion of corn to ethanol and commodity speculation. Addressing the food prices is the most urgent concern as a new bubble in food prices has been projected to begin before the end of 2012. arXiv:1207.5778v1 [physics.soc-ph] 24 Jul 2012 1 Violence has been common in Yemen since the founding of a modern state in the southern Arabian peninsula nearly 100 years ago [1,2], but recent attacks and social disruption are particularly severe [3–5].

SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY • NUMBER 552 SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of "diffusing knowledge" was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Folklife Studies Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world of science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs'submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review.

  • Chapter 1 Introduction
    CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION This chapter presents a brief overview of the Republic of Yemen, its geographical and historical aspects, the existing population, and socioeconomic conditions. The purpose is to provide the reader with a comprehensive background on the country and conditions in Yemeni society before presenting the results and methodological and administrative aspects of the Yemen Demographic, Maternal and Child Health Survey undertaken in 1997 (YDMCHS-97). The first YDMCHS was implemented in 1991-92, after the unification of Yemen on May 22, 1990. The second round of the survey was carried out during 1997 by the Central Statistical Organization with Yemeni personnel who participated in all phases of the study (including planning, preparation, implementation, supervision, and writing of this report) in cooperation with the Ministry of Planning and Development, the Ministry of Public Health and the National Council for Population on the one hand, and Macro International Inc. (Macro) on the other. This survey is considered an important benchmark in statistical work since it covers all the governorates of the Republic and went through highly precise phases during preparation and set-up, training and testing, follow-up and implementation. The survey comes after the first census (1994) under a unified country, the Yemen Republic. 1.1 Geography of Yemen The Republic of Yemen is located in the southern part of the Arabian Peninsula and is bordered by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to the north, the Arabian Sea and Gulf of Aden to the south, the Sultanate of Oman in the east, and the Red Sea to the west.

The beauty of his character, his ardent missionary zeal, his great learning, form a combination rarely equalled; and the feeling was very generally expressed last summer, especially in Scotland, that an attempt should be made to portray the many­ sidedness and goodness of tball life. It was represented to his family that it was a duty "to make the story of such a life the possession and the stimulus of the Church and the country." When I was honoured with the request to write the Memoir of my late dear friend, I could but feel it was too sacred a trust to be refused.
