Randolph St. Arlington, VA 22203 Phone: 703-696-1142 Email: [email protected] The report is 41 pages in length (excluding cover page); please note the Appendix is numbered independently. The report that follows gives an overview of the project, listing of technical advances, outreach and media, sample of findings, pedagogy, publications and a detailed appendix of compiled and collected data sources; and of algorithms related to the Tribalism Index and the HDTI, which were developed by the P.I. for the project (and of important significance for future work. Introduction: Tribal areas, from Afghanistan through to the Sahel are core areas of Islamist militancy. Tribes have played a central role in either supporting or opposing militant entities in their midst. Evidence suggests militant Islamist groups have actively sought out tribal regions for their bases of activity. Prior quantitative research, by the P.I. and by others, has shown that tribalism is an important incubator of Islamist militancy, and the intersection of tribes and Islamist groups is a major factor in the export of religiously motivated violence. (This is a significant factor even into third generation of immigrant communities in Western countries.) Yet this is not a linear relationship, and not all tribes or ethnic groups collaborate with Islamist militants--or the nature of collaboration can be different, from ideological to pragmatic.

It provides a narrative overview of progress and impact between April 2010 and March 2012 of the DFID funded Policy and Research Programme on the Role of Media in Development, building on an earlier report submitted for activities carried out between April 2010 and March 2011. In 2006 the Department for International Development (DFID) allocated £2.5 million over five years for the establishment of a 'Policy and Research Programme on the Role of Media and Communication in Development' to be managed by BBC Media Action (formerly the BBC World Service Trust). The Programme ran from July 2006 through to March 2012, including a no-cost extension. A small additional contribution to the Programme from the Swedish International Development Agency was received over the period (approximately £300,000 over the period 2009- 2012). In November 2011, DFID reached agreement with the BBC World Service Trust (since January 2012, renamed as BBC Media Action) for a new Global Grant amounting to £90 million over five years.

When the respondents were asked “To what extent are you personally interested in sports?” thirteen percent (13%) claimed to be interested to a great extent and 44% of the respondents are interested in sports to some extent. Forty four percent (44%) have no interest while 1% of the respondents gave no response. Cricket is perceived to be the most watched and liked sport in Pakistan.

    An Overview of BritishIPRI JournalAdministrativeXI, no. Set-up 1 (Winter and Strategy 2011): 77-95 77 AN OVERVIEW OF BRITISH ADMINISTRATIVE SET-UP AND STRATEGY IN THE KHYBER 1849-1947 ∗ Dr Javed Iqbal Abstract British rule in the Indo-Pakistan Subcontinent, particularly its effective control and administration in the tribal belt along the Pak-Afghan border, is a fascinating story of administrative genius and pragmatism of some of the finest British officers of the time. The unruly land that could not be conquered or permanently subjugated by warriors and conquerors like Alexander, Changez Khan and Nadir Shah, these men from Europe controlled and administered with unmatched efficiency. An overview of the British administrative set-up and strategy in Khyber Agency during the years 1849-1947 would help in assessing British strengths and weaknesses and give greater insight into their political and military strategy. The study of the colonial system in the tribal belt would be helpful for administrators and policy makers in Pakistan in making governance of the tribal areas more efficient and effective particularly at a turbulent time like the present. Introduction ome facts of history have been so romanticized that it would be hard to know fact from fiction. British advent into the Indo-Pakistan S subcontinent and their north-western expansion right up to the hard and inhospitable hills on the Western Frontier of Pakistan is a story that would look unbelievable today if one were to imagine the wildness of the territory in those times. The most fascinating aspect of the British rule in the Indian Subcontinent is their dealing with the fierce and warlike tribesmen of the northwest frontier and keeping their land under their effective control till the very end of their rule in India.

Kastner This thesis examines in detail the Hardware-Accelerated Identification of Languages (HAIL) project. The goal of HAIL is to provide an accurate means to identify the language and encoding used in streaming content, such as documents passed over a high-speed network. HAIL has been implemented on the Field-programmable Port eXtender (FPX), an open hardware platform developed at Washington University in St. Louis. HAIL can accurately identify the primary languages and encodings used in text at rates much higher than what can be achieved by software algorithms running on microprocessors.

  • Conceptual Metaphors for Life in Pashto
    Central Asia Journal No. 81, Winter 2017 CONCEPTUAL METAPHORS FOR LIFE IN PASHTO Imran Khan & Shuja Ahmad Abstract This paper, using Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT) as theoretical framework attempts to identify, analyze and interpret Metaphors for life in Pashto language. It argues that since life is a very rich conceptual domain, therefore it has more than one conceptual mapping. It identifies eight conceptual metaphors for Life in Pashto speech community, and demonstrates through mapping and entailment that how the target domain life is understood through several source domains in the Pashto language and culture. The identified metaphors for life are: Life is a Food, Life is a Journey, Life is a Person, Life is a Container, Life is Music, Life is a Burdon, Life is a Gamble and Life is a Trial. Keywords: Conceptual Metaphor Theory, Cognitive Linguistics, Life, Target domain, Source Domain, Pashto Language and Culture. Introduction Metaphor, inherent in our conceptual system, is understanding one kind of thing in terms of another1. This study attempts to identify and interpret language and culture. Pashto (پښتو) conceptual metaphors for life in Pashto language belongs to the Indo-Iranian branch of Indo-European languages2.It is the official language of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan along with Dari (Afghan Persian). Pashto language is also spoken by majority of the population in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Baluchistan provinces of Pakistan as their mother tongue. Pashto is also spoken in the northeast of Iran, Tajikistan and India, United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Saudi Arabia. Research Scholar, Area Study Centre, University of Peshawar.
