To compensate for this apparent injustice, Kommersant Vlast analytical weekly has compiled The Entire Russian Fleet directory. It is especially topical since even Russia’s Commander-in-Chief compared himself to a slave on the galleys a week ago. The directory lists all 238 battle ships and submarines of Russia’s Naval Fleet, with their board numbers, year of entering service, name and rank of their commanders. It also contains the data telling to which unit a ship or a submarine belongs. For first-class ships, there are schemes and tactic-technical characteristics. So detailed data on all Russian Navy vessels, from missile cruisers to base type trawlers, is for the first time compiled in one directory, making it unique in the range and amount of information it covers. The Entire Russian Fleet carries on the series of publications devoted to Russia’s armed forces. Vlast has already published similar directories about the Russian Army (#17-18 in 2002, #18 in 2003, and #7 in 2005) and Russia’s military bases (#19 in 2007). -

STATE RECORDKEEPING in the CLOUD Lorraine L. Richards A
EVIDENCE-AS-A-SERVICE: STATE RECORDKEEPING IN THE CLOUD Lorraine L. Richards A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School Information and Library Science. Chapel Hill 2014 Approved by: Christopher A. Lee Helen R. Tibbo Richard Marciano Jeffrey Pomerantz Theresa A. Pardo © 2014 Lorraine L. Richards ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Lorraine L. Richards: Evidence-as-a-Service: State Recordkeeping in the Cloud (Under the Direction of Christopher A. Lee) The White House has engaged in recent years in efforts to ensure greater citizen access to government information and greater efficiency and effectiveness in managing that information. The Open Data policy and recent directives requiring that federal agencies create capacity to share scientific data have fallen on the heels of the Federal Government’s “Cloud First” policy, an initiative requiring Federal agencies to consider using cloud computing before making IT investments. Still, much of the information accessed by the public resides in the hands of state and local records creators. Thus, this exploratory study sought to examine how cloud computing actually affects public information recordkeeping stewards. Specifically, it investigated whether recordkeeping stewards’ concerns about cloud computing risks are similar to published risks in newly implemented cloud computing environments, it examined their perceptions of how cross-occupational relationships affect their ability to perform recordkeeping responsibilities in the Cloud, and it compared how recordkeeping roles and responsibilities are distributed within their organizations. The distribution was compared to published reports of recordkeeping roles and responsibilities in archives and records management journals published over the past 42 years. -
Petry-Pr 1..19
the cambridge history of egypt volume 1 Islamic Egypt, 640±1517 Nn Volume 1 of the cambridge history of egypt addresses the period from the Arab invasion in 640 to the Ottoman conquest of 1517. The volume opens with a discussion of the preceding centuries to illustrate the legacy of ancient Egypt, and then progresses chronologically according to the major dynastic episodes. While the focus of the volume is not restricted to politics, questions of political process and changes in regime are interpreted by the relevant experts in the light of recent research. Authors have been encouraged to conceptualize their topics around a variety of rubrics including communal interaction, ®nancial development, diplomatic relations, and religious trends. carl f. petry is Professor of History at Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois. His research has focused on pre- modern Egypt, and his publications include Protectors or Prae- torians? The Last Mamluk Sultans and Egypt's Waning as a Great Power (1994), Twilight of Majesty: The Reigns of al- Ashraf Qaytbay and Qansuh al-Ghawri in Egypt (1993), and The Civilian Elite of Cairo in the Later Middle Ages (1981). the cambridge history of egypt General editor m. w. daly Kettering University, Michigan Nn the cambridge history of egypt offers the ®rst com- prehensive English-language treatment of Egyptian history through thirteen centuries, from the Arab conquest to the end of the twentieth century. The two-volume survey, written by inter- national experts, considers the political, socio-economic and cultural history of the world's oldest state, summarizing the debates and providing insight into current controversies. -

In this study, long-term (1960–2015) river runoff and climate data in the Arys and Keles River watersheds (Kazakhstan) were gathered to analyze the impacts of climate variation and human activity on runoff. The non-parametric Kendall test and the Pettitt test were used to identify trends and change points in the time data series. It was found that both watersheds had significant upward trends in temperature and potential evapotranspiration data, and insignificant upward trends in the runoff. Change points in annual runoff were identified around the year 1973. The hydrological sensitivity method was employed to evaluate the impacts of climate variation and human activity on mean annual runoff based on precipitation and potential evapotranspiration. -

Landscapes of the Bashmur Settlements and Monasteries in the Northern Egyptian Delta from the Seventh to the Ninth Century
Landscapes of the Bashmur Settlements and Monasteries in the Northern Egyptian Delta from the Seventh to the Ninth Century PENELOPE WILSON 1. Introduction The protective Delta marshes are a powerful motif of Egyptian religious and historical stories. From Isis attempting to keep Horus safe from Seth, Psamtek hiding from the Assyrians, the boukoloi of the Mendesian nome1 and the Bashmurites using the trackless marshes from which to resist the Arab tax collectors,2 the marshes of the Delta have traditionally offered a safe haven from persecution of different kinds. After the Bashmurite insurgency of 831 A.D., settlements and churches in the area were destroyed to remove the possibility of further revolts. Little is known, however, of the extent or nature of settlement in this area from the seventh to the ninth century or of the way of life in the remote areas at the apex of the Delta. Recent survey work, however, has begun to record information about the ancient sites which lie north of, inside and along 1 BLOUIN, 2014, p. 285–295. 2 EVETTS, 1906–1915, III, p. 157, p. 487–494; KENNEDY, 1998, p. 83–84; MIkhAIL, 2014, p. 118–127. 345 Penelope Wilson the southern fringe of Lake Burullus.3 This paper describes some of those sites4 in order to put the archaeological material obtained so far into the wider context of the landscapes of the north Delta and the political and social upheavals of the two centuries after the Arab invasion of Egypt. This preliminary discussion has the objective of demonstrating the potential of the archaeology of the area to explore the relationships between the towns and the environment, the settled and the wilderness and, despite a lack of papyrological or textual evidence, to illuminate the material culture and history of the north Delta. -

Tackling Racism Seriously
Institut de Drets Humans / Facultat de Dret Doctor’s degree in Human rights, democracy and international justice TACKLING RACISM SERIOUSLY HUMAN RIGHTS AND THE UNDERPINNINGS OF ETHNIC RECOGNITION Doctoral thesis Author Supervisor Pier-Luc Dupont Ángeles Solanes Corella València, May 2017 Because they are rational creatures, sailors go to sea with the calculations already done; and all rational creatures go out on the sea of life with their minds made up on the common questions of right and wrong, as well as on many of the much harder questions of wise and foolish. And we can presume that they will continue to do so long as foresight continues to be a human quality. Whatever we adopt as the fundamental principle of morality, we need subordinate principles through which to apply it. John Stuart Mill It is important to be quite careful before seeing any tension between equality and liberty. Tension exists only when we specify conceptions of these broad terms that cannot peacefully coexist. Perhaps such incompatible conceptions cannot be defended. Perhaps the best conceptions of equality are entirely compatible with the best understandings of liberty. Cass Sunstein Neither in interpreting statutes nor precedents are judges confined to the alternatives of blind, arbitrary choice, or ‘mechanical’ deduction from rules with predetermined meaning. Very often their choice is guided by an assumption that the purpose of the rules which they are interpreting is a reasonable one, so that the rules are not intended to work injustice or offend settled moral principles. HLA Hart Rights is the child of law; from real law come real right; but from imaginary laws, from ‘laws of nature’, come imaginary rights… Natural rights is simple nonsense […], nonsense upon stilts.
