REPORT AROLIflOLOGICAL SURVEY WORE ; IN THE NORTB-WEST FRONTIER PROVINCE AND BALUCHISTAN PERIOD FROM JANUARY RND, 1904, TO MARCEI 31s~, 1905. PART 1. 5. In accordance with a recommendation of the Government of India approved by His Majesty's Secretary of atate for Indidin Despatch No. 81 Public (Education), dated 10th July, 1903, I Tvas appointed to the newly created combined posts of Inspector-General of Education and Archzeological Surveyor for the North-West Frontier Province and Ralnchistan. In combining the two appointments consideration was paid to the special qualifications acquired by mo through my previous antiquarian researches on and beyond the North- West Frontier, and accordingly this combination mas to be considered personal to my case. I took charge of my duties in the combined posts on the 2nd of January, 1904, on my return from special duty in Bngland. 2. During my first period of office now under report, my ai~ch~eological activity was ipevitably limited by the heavy administrative duties entailed in the organization and regular inspection of educ~tionalinstitutions throughout the two Provinces. On the one hand the separation of the Education Qepmt- ment in the North-West Frontier Province fi-om that of tho Punjab, which took place upon my assuming charge of the newly created posts, was necessarily attended by a number of initial changes which involved tldditio~iallabour ; on the other hand it also became necessary cluring this period to take in hand the orgmtization of an Educatiollal Department in Baluchistan, tho schools of which had previously not been subject to regular departmental control. The urgently needed appointment of suborginate officers to assist me in each of tho two Provinces could not be secured until near the close of the period under report, and I was thus obliged practically to the close of a second inspection season to carry on single-handed the multifarious and responsible educational duties which in other Proviaces are divided between the Director of Public Instruction and tho Inspectors of Schools. 3. It has appeared to me desirable to indicate these special difficulties on the educational sido of my first period of office as they explain the limitations I was obliged, howover reluctantly, to impose upon my archzological activity. The season laid down for the annual inspection of schools coincides with that period of the year when exploratory work in the field, especially excavation work, is alone practicable in the a~chsleologicallyimportant portion of the two Provinces. Until the appointmeqt of two Personal Assistdnts towards the close 8f the last official year gave some relief, it would have been irnpossil~lefoi* me to undertake excavatioii labours, requiring for their satisfactory concluct pro- longed presence at the site alld oon~tztntsupervision, without the risk of serious ii ARCHIEOLOGICL~J~REFORT, N,-W.

This study focused on five major ethnic groups (Gujars, Jadoons, Syeds, Tanolis, and Yousafzais) of Buner and Swabi Districts, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, Pakistan, through investigations of variations in morphological traits of the permanent tooth crown, and by molecular anthropology based on mitochondrial and Y-chromosome DNA analyses. The frequencies of seven dental traits, of the Arizona State University Dental Anthropology System (ASUDAS) were scored as 17 tooth- trait combinations for each sample, encompassing a total sample size of 688 individuals. These data were compared to data collected in an identical fashion among samples of prehistoric inhabitants of the Indus Valley, southern Central Asia, and west-central peninsular India, as well as to samples of living members of ethnic groups from Abbottabad, Chitral, Haripur, and Mansehra Districts, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and to samples of living members of ethnic groups residing in Gilgit-Baltistan. Similarities in dental trait frequencies were assessed with C.A.B.

His greatness cannot be paralleled by any of his contemporaries. He was a benign ruler and always cared for the welfare of his subjects irrespective of their caste or creed. The Maharaja had full faith in the broad based harmony and cooperation with which the Hindus and the Muslims lived and maintained peace and prosperity. The evidence of the whole hearted co-operation of the Hindu Courtiers, Generals and Administrators is not far to seek. The spirit of Maharaja Ranjit Singh's rule was secular. In the present thesis I have selected only the Hindu Courtiers and Officials at the Lahore Darbar.

  • I Canali Rai Che Saranno Visibili Sul Digitale Terrestre
    Lo switch off delle regioni del Nord Italia rappresenta una sfida formidabile per le televisioni ma anche per tutti coloro che amministrano i Comuni coinvolti dal passaggio al digitale. Crediamo di fare cosa utile fornendo agli amministratori comunali alcune informazioni relative al processo di digitalizzazione che sarà completato nell’autunno 2010 . LO SWITCH OFF E IL CALENDARIO DEL PASSAGGIO AL DIGITALE TERRESTRE NELLE REGIONI DEL NORD ITALIA Dal 25 ottobre al 15 dicembre 2010 in Piemonte orientale, Lombardia, Emilia Romagna, Veneto e Friuli Venezia Giulia sarà completato il passaggio alla tv digitale. Durante questo passaggio, detto switch off, saranno spente le trasmissioni analogiche e tutti gli impianti inizieranno a trasmettere esclusivamente in tecnica digitale. La nuova tecnologia di trasmissione permetterà di fruire di un segnale in qualità audio/video superiore rispetto all’analogico e, nelle aree di copertura, di una più ampia scelta di programmi. Per poter continuare a ricevere le trasmissioni con la nuova tecnica digitale, sarà necessario dotarsi di un decoder digitale terrestre collegato, ad esempio tramite una presa scart, al televisore. Nel caso dei nuovi televisori con decoder digitale terrestre integrato non sarà necessario acquistare un ulteriore decoder. RAI è impegnata a digitalizzare la propria rete di trasmissione. Gli impianti che non fanno parte di questa rete e sono di proprietà e gestiti da Comuni, Comunità montane o privati, dovranno essere convertiti al digitale dai loro proprietari o gestori.
