    IDENTIFICATION OF GLACIAL FLOOD HAZARDS IN Arshad Ashraf*† , Rakhshan Roohi*, Rozina Naz* KARAKORAM RANGE USING REMOTE SENSING and Naveed Mustafa* TECHNIQUEAND RISK ANALYSIS ABSTRACT importance of this situation has magnified over the past decades due to increase in numbers of glacial Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs) are great lakes that are formed at the glacier terminus. Thirty- hazard for the downstream communities in context of five destructive out-burst floods have been recorded changing climatic conditions in the glaciated region of for the Karakoram Range during the past two hundred Pakistan. The remote sensing data of Landsat ETM+ years (Hewitt, 1982). Some of the ice dams may have was utilized for the identification of glacial lakes been the result of glacier surges. There is susceptible to posing GLOF hazard in Karakoram unambiguous evidence of large reservoirs ponded by Range. Overall, 887 glacial lakes are identified in 18 glaciers. Kelly (1988) outlines the historical different river-basins of Karakoram Range, out of development and disappearance of Virjerab lake in which 16 lakes are characterized as potentially Hunza due to glacial motion. There occurred a series dangerous in terms of GLOF. The analysis of of GLOF events in upper Hunza valley, central community’s response to GLOF events of 2008 in the Karakoram Range, within short time periods during central Karakoram Range indicated gaps in 2008 that had a devastating effect on the nearby coordination and capacity of the local communities to communities (Roohi, Ashraf, Mustafa and Mustafa, cope with such natural hazards. A regular monitoring 2008). The people residing at considerable distances of hot spots and potential GLOF lakes along with downstream from the unstable lakes are facing a capacity-building of local communities and institutions serious threat to their lives and property.

This deduces that the early Europeans knew nothing scientific about the mankind beforehand unleashing their one-up-man-ship over Africa and the Africans except that they were the white skinned flocks and so, not the kith and kin of the Africans in black skin living in what they called the „Dark Continent‟! Of course, in later times, the same masters and rulers committed to not repeating their colonialist racial geo-political injustices. The whites were domineering and weaponized to the hilt on their own mentality, for their own interests and by their own logic opposing the geopolitically distant African blacks inhabiting the natural resources enriched frontiers. Those „twists and twitches‟ in time-line led to the black‟s slavery and white‟s slave-trade with meddling Christian Adventist Missionaries, colonialists, religious conversionists, Anglican Universities‟ Missions , inter- sexual-births, the associative asomi , the dissociative asomi and the non-asomi divisions within African natives in concomitance.

  • PDF Description
    THE BIBLE COLLECTION 1 . 2 . THE BIBLE COLLECTION Large collection of missionary publications in ca. 100 languages. West Africa, India, etc., 1681–1991. Significant collection of 333 bibles, expositions, scriptural lessons, biblical school primers, and other extremely rare products of missionary presses. Many items unre- corded in Darlow & Moule, and several important 19th century works unrecorded in the OCLC database of worldwide libraries. The collection’s main strengths lie in 19th and early 20th century publications produced for/in Africa and India (some 89 Indian and 58 African works) as well as hundreds of 20th century works in almost 80 further languages, ranging from Rarotongan to Miskito. Generally in original or pe- riod bindings and often with ownership markings of missionary societies, the collec- tion paints a fascinating picture of missionary efforts of the 19th and 20th centuries. Highlights include an extremely rare edition of the New Testament printed in Tranquebar, South India in the Tamil language in 1758 by a Danish missionary, Bar- tholomaeus Ziegenbalg (this very copy fetching nearly $4000 at Sotheby’s in 2000), and a wonderful colour-illustrated edition of Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress translated into the Niger-Congo (Dualla) language in 1885. More than simply offshoots of the colonial enterprise, missionary movements set up their own presses in colonies such as Cameroon and Calcutta and began printing ti- tles such as the present ones, usually in runs of 1000 copies or less. These publications often represent the first appearance of native languages in print form, shaping future efforts at graphic and textual representation of mainly spoken languages.

  • Nilo-Saharan’
    11 Linguistic Features and Typologies in Languages Commonly Referred to as ‘Nilo-Saharan’ Gerrit J. Dimmendaal, Colleen Ahland, Angelika Jakobi, and Constance Kutsch Lojenga 11.1 Introduction The phylum referred to today as Nilo- Saharan (occasionally also Nilosaharan) was established by Greenberg (1963). It consists of a core of language families already argued to be genetically related in his earlier classiication of African languages (Greenberg 1955:110–114), consisting of Eastern Sudanic, Central Sudanic, Kunama, and Berta, and grouped under the name Macrosudanic; this language family was renamed Chari- Nile in his 1963 contribution after a suggestion by the Africanist William Welmers. In his 1963 classiication, Greenberg hypothesized that Nilo- Saharan consists of Chari- Nile and ive other languages or language fam- ilies treated as independent units in his earlier study: Songhay (Songhai), Saharan, Maban, Fur, and Koman (Coman). Bender (1997) also included the Kadu languages in Sudan in his sur- vey of Nilo-Saharan languages; these were classiied as members of the Kordofanian branch of Niger-Kordofanian by Greenberg (1963) under the name Tumtum. Although some progress has been made in our knowledge of the Kadu languages, they remain relatively poorly studied, and there- fore they are not further discussed here, also because actual historical evi- dence for their Nilo- Saharan afiliation is rather weak.
