Farag To My family Siham, Sahar, Dali, Eiman and Mohamed My aunt Fathia and my brothers and sisters iii ABSTRACT This study examines the morpho-tectonic evolution of the drainage system in the northwestern Ethiopian plateau by focusing on the Tekeze and the Blue Nile Rivers. The plateau is underlain by Precambrian crystalline rocks, overlain by Mesozoic sedimentary section that is topped with a 1-3 km thick pile of Oligocene-Quaternary volcanic rocks. It is bounded in the east and southeast by the Afar Depression (AD) and the Main Ethiopian Rift (MER). Satellite derived Digital Elevation Models are analyzed using ArcGIS and RiverTools to extract morpho-tectonic parameters of tributaries of the Tekeze and Blue Nile Rivers including Normalized Steepness Index (Ksn), Concavity (θ), Regression Fit (r2), and spatial distribution of major and minor knickpoints and faults. Two end-member models have been previously proposed: 1) a steady-state rate of incision since the beginning of the development of these drainage systems (~30 Ma) or 2) a rate of incision that increased through time. This study shows that the incision history of these drainage systems is more complex than can be explained by these two end-member models. Nevertheless, the models are still valid explanations for specific regions of the plateau. The evolution of the drainage systems on the NW plateau is influenced by three tectonic and geological events: 1) The rising of the Afar mantle plume (~30 Ma) created a moderate increase in the incision rate of the entire plateau, 2) a localized increase in the incision rate associated with the shield volcanoes build-up event (~22 Ma) and lastly 3) a significant increase of the incision rate in the eastern part of the northwestern plateau due to rift-flank uplift on western escarpment of the AD and the northwestern escarpment of the MER. This uplift diminishes westward leaving the drainage system in the lower reaches of the Tekeze and Blue Nile Rivers relatively tectonically undisturbed, hence establishing a long-lived hydrological stability and reaching steady-state equilibrium. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am grateful to my family, Siham Eltayeb, Sahar, Dali, Eiman and Mohamed for their patience and support.

  • Full Results of Survey of Songs
    Existential Songs Full results Supplementary material for Mick Cooper’s Existential psychotherapy and counselling: Contributions to a pluralistic practice (Sage, 2015), Appendix. One of the great strengths of existential philosophy is that it stretches far beyond psychotherapy and counselling; into art, literature and many other forms of popular culture. This means that there are many – including films, novels and songs that convey the key messages of existentialism. These may be useful for trainees of existential therapy, and also as recommendations for clients to deepen an understanding of this way of seeing the world. In order to identify the most helpful resources, an online survey was conducted in the summer of 2014 to identify the key existential films, books and novels. Invites were sent out via email to existential training institutes and societies, and through social media. Participants were invited to nominate up to three of each art media that ‘most strongly communicate the core messages of existentialism’. In total, 119 people took part in the survey (i.e., gave one or more response). Approximately half were female (n = 57) and half were male (n = 56), with one of other gender. The average age was 47 years old (range 26–89). The participants were primarily distributed across the UK (n = 37), continental Europe (n = 34), North America (n = 24), Australia (n = 15) and Asia (n = 6). Around 90% of the respondents were either qualified therapists (n = 78) or in training (n = 26). Of these, around two-thirds (n = 69) considered themselves existential therapists, and one third (n = 32) did not. There were 235 nominations for the key existential song, with enormous variation across the different respondents.

Peel first came to recognition with her mesmerizing, hand-punched ‘music box’ EP ‘Rebox’, featuring co- vers of ‘80s bands Cocteau Twins, Soft Cell, & New Order. Having released her critically lauded solo de- but album ‘The Broken Wave’, Peel then formed The Magnetic North, a highly praised and expansive collaborative project with Simon Tong (The Verve, The Good The Bad And The Queen, Gorillaz) and Er- land Cooper (Erland & The Carnival). She also created a series of limited edition EPs, - the increasingly electronic ‘Nailhouse’ in 2013, followed by the stunning analogue beauty of ‘Fabricstate’ in 2014. A year later Peel released ‘Rebox 2’ with music-box covers of ‘Queen’ (originally performed by Perfume Genius), John Grant’s ‘Pale Green Ghosts’, Wild Beasts’ ‘Palace’, as well as her glorious cover of East India Youth’s triumphant ‘Heaven How Long’. 2016 has been yet another prolific year for Peel, so far including collaborations with Beyond The Wiz- ard’s Sleeve (aka Erol Alkan & Richard Norris) - she features on two BBC6 playlisted singles ‘Diagram Girl’ and ‘Creation’ - and composing under her new synth-based, space-age alter-ego Mary Casio with an experimental piece combining analogue electronics and a 33-piece colliery brass band (which debuted to a sold out Manchester audience in May).

Geological Evolution of the Red Sea: Historical Background, Review, and Synthesis William Bosworth Abstract The Red Sea is part of an extensive rift system that includes from south to north the oceanic Sheba Ridge, the Gulf of Aden, the Afar region, the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aqaba, the Gulf of Suez, and the Cairo basalt province. Historical interest in this area has stemmed from many causes with diverse objectives, but it is best known as a potential model for how continental lithosphere first ruptures and then evolves to oceanic spreading, a key segment of the Wilson cycle and plate tectonics.

  • Egypt and the Hydro-Politics of the Blue Nile River Daniel Kendie
    Egypt and the Hydro-Politics of the Blue Nile River Daniel Kendie Northeast African Studies, Volume 6, Number 1-2, 1999 (New Series), pp. 141-169 (Article) Published by Michigan State University Press DOI: https://doi.org/10.1353/nas.2002.0002 For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/23689 [ This content has been declared free to read by the pubisher during the COVID-19 pandemic. ] Egypt and the Hydro-Politics of the Blue Nile River Daniel Kendie Henderson State University As early as the 4th century B.C., Herodotus observed that Egypt was a gift of the Ni l e . That observation is no less true today than in the distant past, because not only the prosperity of Egypt, but also its very existence depends on the annual flood of the Nile. Of its two sources, the Blue Nile flows from Lake Tana in Ethiopia, while the White Nile flows from Lake Victoria in Uganda. Some 86 pe r cent of the water that Egypt consumes annually originates from the Blue Nile Ri ve r , while the remainder comes from the White Nile. Since concern with the fr ee flow of the Nile has always been a national security issue for Egypt, as far as the Blue Nile goes it has been held that Egypt must be in a position either to dominate Ethiopia, or to neutralize whatever unfriendly regime might emerge th e r e. As the late President Sadat stated: “ Any action that would endanger the waters of the Blue Nile will be faced with a firm reaction on the part of Egypt, even if that action should lead to war.

  • New Music Spectacular New EP All I Am, Due out on Friday
    40 ............... Sunday, March 25, 2018 1SM MUSIC by COLAN LAMONT ROCKER Andrew WK has been so busy enjoying himself that it’s taken nearly TEN years to make his new album. The singer-songwriter — who had a hit in 2001 with Party Hard — released fifth album You’re Not Alone last week. Andrew, whose last album was 2009’s 55 Cadillac, said: “There was definitely a big gap in between album releases. “At the same time I’ve not been in Scotland touring since 2012 so it’s been a few years for that too. “I’ve been work- ing on it the whole time and wasn’t aware that much time had gone by. “When you’re par- tying hard in a cha- otic environment, time slips into a vor- tex and ten years can go by without you even realising. I partied so Hard “I’ve been doing everything I nor- mally do which is partying hard and spreading the message of party power.” The singer, whose bloodied face my new album appeared on his debut album cover I Get Wet, says his ultimate aim was to get the new record finished — no matter how long it took. Andrew, who was born in Cali- fornia and grew up in Michigan, said: “I wish I knew why certain songs come together quickly and took ten years! others don’t reveal themselves until later. “It was such a disorganised and that party passion but I don’t take ried to fellow vocalist and music it for granted. producer Cherie Lily since 2008, songs from the new album and all informal process and was never a my albums, which is very impor- cohesive concept or plan of action.

  • Chapter2: Geological Review
    Chapter2: Geological Review Chapter 2 Geological Review 2.1. Introduction: In Sudan, five NW-SE trending continental rifts are known. They define together an extensional province, which has a wide of 1000 km and a length of at least 800 km parallel to the strike direction (Figure 2.1) (Fairhead, 1988). From North to South, these rifts are referred to as: The Atbara rift. The Blue Nile Rift (Khartoum and Khartoum South). The White Nile Rift (Melut or Bara and Kosti). The Muglad-Abu Gabra Rift (the Muglad-Abu Gabra and Bahr el Arab rifts are collectively referred to as the Southern Sudan rift). The Muglad is the best known and is the largest of the Sudan rift basins. The Bagarra Basin. Figure(2.1): shows the tectonic model of the West and Central African Rift System (Fairhead,1988). 6 Chapter2: Geological Review In the northwest, the Sudan rift basins terminate along the transcurrent fault zone in continental scale, the Central African Shear Zone (Figure 2.1). The Central African Shear Zone is envisioned to link the Sudan rift basins with the Lower and Upper Cretaceous rift basins in Chad and Niger (Fairhead,1988). The south-eastern terminations of the Sudan rifts are more complex (Schull 1988). 2.2. Muglad Basin: The Muglad basin is rift basin of Meso-cenozoic, which caused by the shear zone of middle-Africa and developed on the firm basement of Precambrian(Vail, 1978; Whiteman, 1971). There are three superimposed rift formations of different periods in Muglad area since Early Cretaceous(Fairhead, 1988). The first one is Abu Gabra Fm - Bentiu Fm of Lower Cretaceous, the second one is the Darfour group of Upper Cretaceous–Paleocene of Paleogene, and the third is Eocene of paleogene– Neogene.
