Cundall, Jr., Darrell Hairston, and Anna Whiteside: University Honors Program Prologue: The Day My World Changed/ Chapter 1: A Daughter is Born 1) Why do so few people in Pakistan celebrate the birth of a baby girl? What is the attitude of Malala’s father’s toward the birth his daughter? 2) After whom is Malala named? 3) What are society’s expectations of girls? What are the attitudes of Malala and her father about the role of girls in society? 4) Before she was shot, did Malala fear for her own life? 5) Why do you think the KPK is independent? Does this cultural and geographical independence from the main part of Pakistan mean anything for the rest of Malala’s story? 6) What did Alexander the Great do when he reached the Swat Valley? 7) What are the various religions that have “ruled” the Swat Valley? The Swat Valley, Malala’ Yousafzai’s hometown, is known for its mountains, meadows, and lakes. Tourists often call it “the Switzerland of the East.” The Swat Valley was the home of Pakistan’s first ski resort. (Map Showing the Location of Swat District, Source: Pahari Sahib, Wikimedia Commons) The SWAT valley’s population is mostly made up of ethnic Gujjar and Pashtuns.

KHALIL***, IKRAMUL HAQ*****, IFTIKHAR AHMAD*****, ASAD ALI**** and M. YASIR KHAN*** * Department of Agronomy, NWFP Agricultural University, Peshawar, Pakistan ** Institute of Development Studies, NWFP Agricultural University, Peshawar, Pakistan *** Department of Plant Breeding & Genetics, NWFP Agricultural University, Peshawar, Pakistan **** Department of Plant Pathology, NWFP Agricultural University, Peshawar, Pakistan ***** Department of Agricultural Extension Education & Communication, NWFP Agricultural University, Peshawar, Pakistan ABSTRACT This study was conducted to determine the production potential and optimum sowing date for various landraces of sweet corn. The research was carried out at New Developmental Farm, NWFP Agricultural University Peshawar, Pakistan during 2007 crop season. Sowing dates were 25 April (D1), 25 May (D2), 16 June (D3), 26 July (D4) and 18 August (D5). Sweet corn landraces Mingora, Mansehra, Swabi, Parachinar and cv. Azam were used. All parameters were significantly affected by sowing dates, landraces and their interaction. Days to 50 % tasseling and 50 % silking decreased as the date of sowing was delayed from D1 to D5. Days to maturity decreased as the date of sowing was delayed from D1 to D3 and then increased again as sowing was delayed from D3 to D5. Sweet corn landrace Swabi produced maximum (17292 kg ha-1) biological yield from D1 sowing compared to minimum (7083 kg ha-1) produced by Parachinar on D5. Azam produced maximum grain yield (4097 kg ha-1) and harvest index (27.21 %) when sown on D4, where as minimum grain yield (621 kg ha-1) and harvest index (7.16 %) was observed for Parachinar and Mingora respectively on D5 sowing.

COMMUNICATING A collection of successful local government initiatives under municipal CHANGE service delivery in Malakand Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH COMMUNICATING CHANGE A collection of successful local government initiatives under municipal service delivery in Malakand We measure our success not by the number of projects completed but by the positive change these projects bring in the lives of citizens. The restructuring of the local government system through the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Local Government Act 2013 is another major step forward in our efforts to make public goods and services available and accessible to everyone without any exception. We believe effective local governments work for the people and reflect their needs as closely as possible - and that is where communication is positioned to play a key role. For us, communication is an important medium to inform you about our priorities and achievements. At the same time, it goes far beyond that. We are strengthening two- way communication mechanisms to foster responsive local governments and informed citizens. Both are crucial for a meaningful dialogue. The five municipalities of Adenzai, Bahrain, Barikot, Kabal and Khwazakhela were established in 2010 as a result of re-configuration of the administrative setup in Malakand Division to address security measures and flood damages.
