Ans (b) Explanation: Sea breeze is caused due to the heating of land and it occurs in the day time 3. Ans (c) Explanation: • Days are hot, and during the hot season, noon temperatures of over 100°F. are quite frequent. When night falls the clear sky which promotes intense heating during the day also causes rapid radiation in the night. Temperatures drop to well below 50°F. and night frosts are not uncommon at this time of the year. This extreme diurnal range of temperature is another characteristic feature of the Sudan type of climate. • The savanna, particularly in Africa, is the home of wild animals. It is known as the ‘big game country. • The leaf and grass-eating animals include the zebra, antelope, giraffe, deer, gazelle, elephant and okapi. • Many are well camouflaged species and their presence amongst the tall greenish-brown grass cannot be easily detected. The giraffe with such a long neck can locate its enemies a great distance away, while the elephant is so huge and strong that few animals will venture to come near it.

  • Sana'a Municipality City Council and Head General of Executive Agency Assembly Appoint Elect
    Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Strategy CityDevelopment A Sana’a: Foreword Since 2000, with the issuance of the Local Authorities Law No. 4, Yemen has been pursuing an ambitious decentralization agenda. This agenda aims to delegate greater fiscal and administrative authority to local governments and to give communities—public leaders, residents, and investors— more control over the economic and social development of their cities and towns. To date, city development strategies (CDS) have been initiated in four of Yemen’s largest urban areas—Sana’a, Aden, Hodeidah, and Mukalla. With support from the Cities Alliance and The World Bank, the CDS process in each of these cities has brought together public and private sector lead- ership to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the city, think strategically about opportunities for equitable economic growth, develop a long-term vision, and draft a prioritized action plan. In all four cases, the CDS process has been coupled with revisions to the cities’ master plans to ensure a strong link between economic development plans and infrastructure. The benefits of the CDS process go far beyond the writing of the CDS document. To create a long- term vision for the city required the participation of a variety of public, private, and civil society leaders who do not often have the occasion to come together to discuss the challenges and oppor- tunities facing the city. The structure for cross-sectoral communication provided under the umbrella of the CDS has had a lasting effect in terms of helping to align the city’s social, economic, and envi- ronmental interests.

  • Conflict in Yemen: from Ethnic Fighting to Food Riots
    Conflict in Yemen: From Ethnic Fighting to Food Riots Andreas Gros, Alexander Gard-Murray and Yaneer Bar-Yam New England Complex Systems Institute 238 Main St. Suite 319 Cambridge MA 02142, USA (Dated: July 24, 2012) Abstract Yemen is considered a global terrorist base for Al-Qaeda and in recent years rampant violence is threatening social order. Here we show that the socio-economic origins of violence recently changed. Prior to 2008, violence can be attributed to inter-group conflict between ethnically and religiously distinct groups. Starting in 2008, increasing global food prices triggered a new wave of violence that spread to the endemically poor southern region with demands for government change and economic concessions. This violence shares its origins with many other food riots and the more recent Arab Spring. The loss of social order and the opportunities for terror organizations can be best addressed by directly eliminating the causes of violence. Inter-group violence can be addressed by delineating within-country provinces for local autonomy of ethnic and religious groups. The impact of food prices can be alleviated by direct food price interventions, or by addressing the root causes of global food price increases in US policies that have promoted conversion of corn to ethanol and commodity speculation. Addressing the food prices is the most urgent concern as a new bubble in food prices has been projected to begin before the end of 2012. arXiv:1207.5778v1 [physics.soc-ph] 24 Jul 2012 1 Violence has been common in Yemen since the founding of a modern state in the southern Arabian peninsula nearly 100 years ago [1,2], but recent attacks and social disruption are particularly severe [3–5].

  • Chapter 1 Introduction
    CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION This chapter presents a brief overview of the Republic of Yemen, its geographical and historical aspects, the existing population, and socioeconomic conditions. The purpose is to provide the reader with a comprehensive background on the country and conditions in Yemeni society before presenting the results and methodological and administrative aspects of the Yemen Demographic, Maternal and Child Health Survey undertaken in 1997 (YDMCHS-97). The first YDMCHS was implemented in 1991-92, after the unification of Yemen on May 22, 1990. The second round of the survey was carried out during 1997 by the Central Statistical Organization with Yemeni personnel who participated in all phases of the study (including planning, preparation, implementation, supervision, and writing of this report) in cooperation with the Ministry of Planning and Development, the Ministry of Public Health and the National Council for Population on the one hand, and Macro International Inc. (Macro) on the other. This survey is considered an important benchmark in statistical work since it covers all the governorates of the Republic and went through highly precise phases during preparation and set-up, training and testing, follow-up and implementation. The survey comes after the first census (1994) under a unified country, the Yemen Republic. 1.1 Geography of Yemen The Republic of Yemen is located in the southern part of the Arabian Peninsula and is bordered by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to the north, the Arabian Sea and Gulf of Aden to the south, the Sultanate of Oman in the east, and the Red Sea to the west.

  • Reef-Building Corals and Coral Communities of the Yemen Red Sea
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by ResearchOnline at James Cook University FAUNA OF ARABIA 23: 1–40 Date of publication: 15.07.2007 Reef-building corals and coral communities of the Yemen Red Sea Emre Turak, Jon Brodie and Lyndon DeVantier A b s t r a c t : The types of reef forms and the composition, diversity, zoogeographic affinities and ecological status of coral com- munities of the Yemen Red Sea were assessed between 1996 and 1998. Contemporary coral growth occurs as true accreting reefs fringing the mainland coast and islands, submerged patch reefs, and in non-accreting coral assemblages typically associated with three forms of substrate: “red algal reefs”; relic Pleistocene to Holocene reefs; and lava flow terraces and volcanic rock pinnacles. To- gether these structures host a moderately diverse stony coral fauna of ca 221 scleractinian species (54 genera, 15 families), including Red Sea endemics and species previously unknown from Arabian seas. Zoogeographic affinities of the northern area of the Yemen Red Sea appear similar to the more adjacent Red Sea coast of Saudi Arabia (e.g. Farasan Islands). The southern area shares more similarities with the Gulf of Aden (Belhaf - Bir Ali area). Local coral populations are acclimated, and perhaps genetically adapted, to a harsh physico-chemical environment, surviving at high sea temperatures (average 31 ºC, max. 35 ºC) that typically kill con- specifics in other reef regions. Hierarchical cluster analysis derived six coral community types distributed in relation to prevailing environmental conditions: physical exposure, water clarity, sea temperature, substrate type, slope angle and depth.
