According to Transparency International, 80% of the African Population earns less than $2 per day. With such low level of income, the inhabitants must face daily struggle to procure food and address basic health issues. The Government is deeply exhausted trying to find ways to fix the problem of corruption as it is rotting the nation from the inside. Keywords: Corruption; Government; Transparency; Population subcontinent and the only thing which could provide them any solace would be to finally form a government which takes robust measures to Introduction end corruption.

  • Space, Home and Racial Meaning Making in Post Independence Juba
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles The Worldliness of South Sudan: Space, Home and Racial Meaning Making in Post Independence Juba A thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in Anthropology By Zachary Mondesire 2018 © Copyright by Zachary Mondesire 2018 ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS The Worldliness of South Sudan: Space, Home and Racial Meaning Making in Post Independence Juba By Zachary Mondesire Master of Art in Anthropology University of California, Los Angeles, 2017 Professor Hannah C. Appel, Chair The world’s newest state, South Sudan, became independent in July 2011. In 2013, after the outbreak of the still-ongoing South Sudanese civil war, the UNHCR declared a refugee crisis and continues to document the displacement of millions of South Sudanese citizens. In 2016, Crazy Fox, a popular South Sudanese musician, released a song entitled “Ana Gaid/I am staying.” His song compels us to pay attention to those in South Sudan who have chosen to stay, or to return and still other African regionals from neighboring countries to arrive. The goal of this thesis is to explore the “Crown Lodge,” a hotel in Juba, the capital city of South Sudan, as one such site of arrival, return, and staying put. Paying ethnographic attention to site enables us to think through forms of spatial belonging in and around the hotel that attached racial meaning to national origin and regional identity. ii The thesis of Zachary C. P. Mondesire is approved. Jemima Pierre Aomar Boum Hannah C. Appel, Committee Chair University

  • Colonization, and Post-Colonization
    MAJDI FALEH Massachusetts Institute of Technology Reconstructing Tunisian Architectural Identity in the Context of ‘Ottomanization’, Colonization, and Post-Colonization Abstract Keywords Architectural This article discusses how layers of hinterlands were historically recreated /urban history within the city of Tunis through destruction and reconstruction. Invisible destruction historical, political, and architectural layers can be reconstructed to reflect how reconstruction the marginalization of Tunis and the erasure of its architectural identity under of heritage colonization prevailed. The Medina of Tunis was appreciated and revisited at Medina times, but marginalized, ignored and devalued in other instances. Its destruction historical and marginalization were imminent before and after Tunisia’s independence. marginalization Several historical and political factors came into play and helped to protect the Medina. This research examines the contemporary eras of destruction or ‘near- destruction’ that the Medina has faced in the modern age. It argues that these challenges, even if they attempted to harm this settlement’s urban fabric, also strengthened its architectural image. This paper will be structured around three historical periods and will primarily tease out different instances of destruction and reconstruction in Tunis and the impact different vanquishers or rulers, had on its urban fabric. These historical eras include late Ottoman-Husainid (1830 – 1882), French colonization (1882 – 1956) and post-independence period of 1956. This research surveys the existing literature and material archives of the three periods. It examines key architectural examples and urban interventions from within the Medina to understand how, despite the processes of destruction or ‘near-destruction’, this organic structure reshaped its identity beyond the hinterlands and how its confines predefined urban core.

  • Supervised Dive
    EFFECTIVE 1 March 2009 MINIMUM COURSE CONTENT FOR Supervised Diver Certifi cation As Approved By ©2009, Recreational Scuba Training Council, Inc. (RSTC) Recreational Scuba Training Council, Inc. RSTC Coordinator P.O. Box 11083 Jacksonville, FL 32239 USA Recreational Scuba Training Council (RSTC) Minimum Course Content for Supervised Diver Certifi cation 1. Scope and Purpose This standard provides minimum course content requirements for instruction leading to super- vised diver certifi cation in recreational diving with scuba (self-contained underwater breathing appa- ratus). The intent of the standard is to prepare a non diver to the point that he can enjoy scuba diving in open water under controlled conditions—that is, under the supervision of a diving professional (instructor or certifi ed assistant – see defi nitions) and to a limited depth. These requirements do not defi ne full, autonomous certifi cation and should not be confused with Open Water Scuba Certifi cation. (See Recreational Scuba Training Council Minimum Course Content for Open Water Scuba Certifi ca- tion.) The Supervised Diver Certifi cation Standards are a subset of the Open Water Scuba Certifi cation standards. Moreover, as part of the supervised diver course content, supervised divers are informed of the limitations of the certifi cation and urged to continue their training to obtain open water diver certifi - cation. Within the scope of supervised diver training, the requirements of this standard are meant to be com- prehensive, but general in nature. That is, the standard presents all the subject areas essential for su- pervised diver certifi cation, but it does not give a detailed listing of the skills and information encom- passed by each area.

The continent’s abundant biodiversity underpins the fast-growing (eco)tourism industry, while its rich energy resources have seen renewed attention from global powers. Obviously, these boom-and-bust cycles of interest in African natural resources have signified the continent’s place in the capitalist world order for a long time.

  • Moving Minds What Shapes Students’ European Identity and How Does European Identity Influence Students’ Future Intra-European Mobility?
    Moving Minds What shapes students’ European identity and how does European identity influence students’ future intra-European mobility? Source: Murray (2019) Regional development, urban renewal and population dynamics Dieuwke Elzinga S3000516 Supervisor: Prof. Dr. D. Ballas Abstract In this day and age, much of the decision-making lies with decisionmakers on European scale. Therefore, it is to be expected that “feeling European” rather (just) your own nationality becomes more and more common. But what does the term “European identity” entail exactly and which role does this change in mindset entail for migration streams of students? The aim of this thesis is to comprehend what shapes students’ European identity and how this influences their willingness to migrate within Europe in the future. In order to do so it will look in detail at how students define European identity, what personal factors influence students’ reasons for future mobility and whether they are likely to move in the future and whether their European identity differs with national numbers. In order to do this, data has been collected from students from Leeds, Groningen, and Athens. Subsequentially, tests were run on this data in order to assess whether European identity is of influence on future mobility behaviour as well motivations for moving. Furthermore, focus groups were held in order to gain more insight into what students’ European identity and whether this differs between countries. In general, European identity seems to not be of influence on one’s moving behaviour, however, this could be due to small sample groups. Age seems to have a significant influence on future mobility within some groups, which is in line with other literature.

How to Use This Manual This manual provides PADI course requirements. Text appearing in boldface print denotes required standards that may not be deviated from while teaching the course. PADI Standards do not, however, supersede local laws or regulations. Keep informed of these wherever you teach. Though all PADI Members use this manual, it is written from the instructor’s perspective, except for course performance requirements. These are written from the student diver’s or program participant’s perspective, stating specifcally what must be demonstrated or performed. As a starting point, become familiar with the items in the Commitment to Excellence section. This includes the PADI Professional’s Creed, PADI Member Code of Practice and Youth Leader’s Commitment.
