Lesson 2 the People of Madagascar
LUTHERAN HOUR MINISTRIES online mission trip Curriculum LESSON 2 THE PEOPLE OF MADAGASCAR 660 MASON RIDGE CENTER DRIVE, SAINT LOUIS, MO 63141 | LHM.ORG 0117 LHM – MADAGASCAR Lesson 2 – The People of Madagascar Population On the map, Madagascar is very close to the eastern edge of Africa. This closeness would lead people to conclude that the inhabitants of Madagascar are predominately African. This is not true. The native inhabitants of Madagascar are the Malagasy (pronounced mah-lah-GAH-shee), who originated in Malaysia and Indonesia and reached Madagascar about 1,500 years ago. The language, customs, and physical appearance of today’s Malagasy reflect their Asian ancestry. Nearly 22.5 million people live in modern Madagascar. The annual growth rate of three percent combined with an average life expectancy of only sixty- four years gives Madagascar a young population. About sixty percent of the Malagasy people are less than twenty-five years old. Thirty-five percent of the adult population is classified as illiterate. More than ninety-five percent of the population is of Malagasy origin. The other five percent is made up of French, Comorians, Indo-Pakistanis, and Chinese peoples. The Malagasy are divided into 20 distinct ethnic groups, each of which occupies a certain area of the island. These groups originally started as loosely organized clans. Each clan remained apart from each other clan, marrying only within its clan. The clans developed into separate ethnic groups. Today there is an increased amount of intermarriage between the clans blurring the lines of distinction. All groups consider themselves as equally Malagasy. -
09. Recipes in Malagasy and Other Languages
RECIPES IN MALAGASY AND OTHER LANGUAGES* Ileana Paul Diane Massam University of Western Ontario University of Toronto [email protected] [email protected] This paper looks at null arguments in recipe contexts. While much of the literature has focused on English and the availability of null definite patients, this paper shows that null agents and null patients are possible in recipes in a range of languages, including Malagasy, Niuean and Tagalog. It is argued that null agents in recipes arise due to a variety of syntactic strategies, but null patients are licensed via a null topic in all the languages considered. 1. Introduction Null arguments are a common feature of recipes, as long noted in the literature. In (1) below, there is no overt agent for any of the verbs and the verbs cut and add are missing their patient argument. (1) øagent Take 2 carrots. øagent Cut øpatient finely, before øagent adding øpatient to potato mixture. The literature on recipes has typically focused on the phenomenon of null definite patients, perhaps because these are otherwise ungrammatical in English (e.g. Haegeman 1987a,b, Massam & Roberge 1989, Massam 1992, Cote 1996, Culy 1996, Bender 1999, Ruppenhofer & Michaelis 2010, Ruda 2014, Weir 2017). But as just noted, null agents are also found in recipe contexts. In this paper, we show that null agents and patients are a feature of recipes in a range of typologically and genetically diverse languages. The agent corresponds to the addressee or the person following the recipe. The patient is what we will call the object of manipulation (Massam et al. -

Entertainment in Madagascar Dining Options Include Eating out At
Entertainment In Madagascar by newsdesk Dining options include eating out at some of the in-house restaurants in the big hotels to small street side cafes and restaurants. The French influence is evident in a few elegant restaurants in Antananarivo and the native flavour can be savoured in smaller establishments that churn out local delicacies. Elegant French dishes are served at the island's finest restaurants and hotels, catering mostly for foreign tourists. Madagascar is famous for its fresh seafood, particularly its wonderful seafood salad platters seasoned with ginger and limejuice. The melting pot of African, Arabic, French and Indian cooking styles, Malagasy cuisine uses plenty of spices to create a fragrant, rich and exotic new cuisine. The Malagasy cuisine takes full advantage of the country’s rich bounty of fresh fish, fruits and vegetables. The standard Malagasy diet is a varied one, usually comprising of heaps of rice topped with beef, pork, chicken, crab, fish, corn, peanuts and potatoes. Spicy curries are popular and owe much to the influence of the Indian community. There are numerous discos around the hotels and a few halls that host live shows and films for French speaking visitors and locals and even English speaking visitors can enjoy some good film and cultural shows. To get a taste of Malagasy culture, do attend a Hira Gasy, generally held on Sunday afternoons near the Alliance Francaise in Tana. There are a few discotheques, some with bands and solo musicians in the larger cities. Casinos can be found in the capital Antananarivo and tourist centres of Toamasina and Nosy Bé. -
To the Editor, Susan Goldberg National Geographic Headquarters 1145 17Th Street N.W
To the Editor, Susan Goldberg National Geographic Headquarters 1145 17th Street N.W. Washington, D.C. 20036-4688 [email protected] London, June 8th 2018 Dear Susan Goldberg, Our trade associations represent the producers of certified compostable materials including “bioplastics”, and we are linked with members around the world. The UK, USA and European associations are co- signatories to this letter. The article recently published by National Geographic and written by Laura Parker linked here https://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/2018/06/plastic-planet-solutions-waste-pollution/ has caused a certain amount of dismay among our membership. While we are thrilled to see your illustrious, prestigious and authoritative journal tackle the monumental problem of plastic waste, the recent issue appears to also transmit a series of misconceptions around bioplastics which our membership does not recognize or associate itself with. Our members work to certified standards, recognized in the USA and globally, around the end of life of their materials. They recommend these materials only as solutions for certain uses, not as a panacea for every plastic issue. They certainly do not promote the use of bioplastics as a solution for marine littering and know that there is no such standard nor any material made by them that would biodegrade in a short time in the ocean. Nor would any of our members want to be associated with a message that says “throw this out the window or into the river, Mother Nature will take care of it.” Bioplastics can be a confusing term in itself but it is not the only material that can be defined in many different ways. -

De La Versatilité (4) Le Luth Arabe Dans Les Genres Musicaux Du Corridor Malais
De la versatilité (4) Le luth arabe dans les genres musicaux du corridor malais D HEROUVILLE, Pierre Draft 2013-15.0 - Avril 2021 Résumé : le présent article a pour objet l’origine et la diffusion des luths monoxyles en Malaisie et en Indonésie, en se focalisant sur l’histoire des genres musicaux locaux. Mots clés : diaspora hadhrami, gambus, marwas, hamdolok, zapin, harmonium, Abdoel Molok ; Au cours de sa recherche sur la diffusion du Gambus dans le monde malais, L.F. HILARIAN s’est évertué à dater la diffusion chez les premiers malais du luth iranien Barbat , ou de son avatar supposé yéménite Qanbus vers les débuts de l’islam. En l’absence d’annales explicites sur l’instrument, sa recherche a constamment corrélé historiquement diffusion de l’Islam à introduction de l’instrument. A défaut, nous suggérons que celui-ci aurait plutôt été (ré)introduit à Lamu, Zanzibar, en Malaisie et aux Comores par une vague d’émigration hadhramie plus tardive, ce qui n’exclut pas une présence sporadique antérieure. Nous n’étayons cette hypothèse sur la relative constance organologique et dimensionnelle des instruments à partir du 19 ème siècle. L’introduction dans ces contrées de la danse al-zafan et du tambour marwas , tous fréquemment associés au qanbus , indique également qu’il a été introduit comme un genre autant que comme un instrument. Nous nous attacherons à inventorier ici les arguments historiques de ces scénarii en synthétisant la lutherie et les genres relatifs en Malaisie et en Indonésie. La présence arabe est certes rapportée dés le 8 ème siècle dans les comptoirs de la côte malbare et le Sri Lanka [O’NEIL, 1994]. -

Abstract: Although the trends of international reports show an increase in overweight and obesity, even in developing countries, there are still areas of the world, such as Sub-Saharan Africa, strongly affected by undernutrition. Specifically, in Madagascar, the percentage of stunted children under 5 is extremely high. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic is expected to increase the risk of all forms of malnutrition, especially in low-income countries, including Madagascar, with serious Citation: Conti, M.V.; intergenerational repercussions.
