Primarily, this applies for co-workers on the same project, but also for others. It is further meant to facilitate to explain what our work is all about to possible co- operation partners. A third purpose is to provide pictorial illustrations more generously than commercial book publications with a publishing house usually do. The volumes in this series are not meant to replace proper publications about our results in books and journal articles. In relation to these, they have two functions: a preparatory one and a complementary one. Here data can be laid out more fully than in a commercial book publication or a scholarly journal. This series describes projects and preliminary results, i.e. work in progress. We hope for constructive criticism and the reader’s kindness, as far as the weaknesses of our work are concerned. File names (of text files and pictures) are for internal use. Pastoralism in Interaction iii PROJECT OUTLINE (2009)1: PASTORALISM IN INTERACTION WITH OTHER FORMS OF LAND USE IN THE BLUE NILE AREA OF SUDAN (GÜNTHER SCHLEE) 1. AIM The aim of the project is to throw light on the decisions faced by pastoralists in the way they manage their herds and their families in the Blue Nile area (focussing on Sennar and Blue Nile states) of the Sudan. While the focus is clearly on pastoralists, the perspective of others (sedentary agriculturalists, representatives of the state) cannot be neglected, because the rights and interests of others (at any given time) are part of the constraints faced by pastoralists in their decisions. Seen in a diachronic perspective (through time), the interethnic relations, also with regard to resources used, result from and are constantly redefined by a history of interaction. The approach chosen can be called political ecology, a somewhat contested term, but ideally a line of research which attributes equal importance to human agency and the domain of the social (political) and to the natural environment (ecology). The team (see below: personnel) therefore comprises social and natural scientists. Primarily, the project is of an academic nature and aims at explaining how people interact individually and in the form of groups and alliances. Since Hardin’s article on the Tragedy of the Commons (1968 in Science 162: 1243–48), keeping animals on the open range has been a classical example of public access to resources. ‘The commons’ have come to stand for a key issue of economics. Without necessarily agreeing with Hardin, the project takes up this problem because of its relevance to social theory. (In Range Management Studies, which should be the area Hardin’s metaphor is derived from, hardly anyone agrees with him.) A secondary focus is on application. If results of the project help to reconcile competing forms of resource use (mediation) or to improve the way in which the authorities deal with these problems (policy), this will be most welcome. 2. DURATION The project is planned for four years (2009–12). As a result of this work a follow- up project or follow-up projects may be defined. The project is part of a long term programme, ‘Integration and Conflict’ (Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology, Department ‘Integration and Conflict’). 3. PERSONNEL Prof. Dr. Günther Schlee, Director at the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology, project leader Dr. Elhadi Ibrahim Osman, University of Sennar, principal investigator (anthropology) Dr. Awad Karim Tijani, M.Sc., principal investigator (agriculture, ecology) Mona Adam, BA (agriculture), technical assistant to Awad Karim and Elhadi Ibrahim. More personalities are going to be invited to participate in the project. Some such perspectives will be outlined below under ‘Cooperation’. 4. EARLIER WORK Since 1974, I have worked on pastoralists, mainly in Kenya (see bibliography). In 1996, I started to do field research in the Blue Nile area. With ProfessorA l-Amin Abu-Manga 1With minor changes and an updated bibliography. Pastoralism in Interaction 1 Muhammad, University of Khartoum, I collected oral historical traditions of migrants from West Africa. I did an in-depth study of a particular village near Abu-NaÝama, the results of which are still awaiting publication. I wrote a number of articles about the Fulɓe Mbororo pastoralists of the area (Schlee 1997, 2002c, Feyissa and Schlee 2009). Elhadi Ibrahim Osman wrote a doctoral thesis about the Mbororo of the Blue Nile region which is about to be published. His earlier work comprises an M.Sc. thesis on the performance of the rural financial markets in Sinja district, a paper on the Fiju ceremony of Mbororo in the Blue Nile area, and another on the integration of Mbororo into the national economy and the wider society titled ‘The Funj Region Pastoral Fulɓe: From “Exit” to “Voice”’ which was published as of a special issue about the Sudan in the Nomadic Peoples journal (Vol. 13(1), 2010). Awad Karim Tijani is a specialist in animal production. The main field of study is poultry. His M.Sc. thesis was about the Large Baladi Sudanese chickens under rela- tively improved environmental conditions. His PhD study was about poultry nutrition. He is also the main author of an article on the same subject which has been accepted by the Journal of Veterinary Science. There are about three papers extracted from the M.Sc. thesis now in preparation. He has been assisting me in conducting a village study and in gathering data about cattle nomads in the Blue Nile area. He also supervised students who were employed for a village census. 5. COOPERATION ▫ The Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology, in Halle/Saale (Germany), will be the lead institution and administer the project. ▫ University of Sennar.

  • In a Finite World. Overshoot – CRASH!
    The Greatest Problem Facing Mankind Exponential growth, approaching infinity – in a finite world. Overshoot – CRASH! If you were asked what the greatest problem facing mankind is, what would you answer? Terrorism? War? The economy? Corruption? These are the topics on the lips of our politicians. But I would contend that our most vital concern is for the environment that nurtures us. In fact, we should probably celebrate Earth Day every day, thinking globally as one people on one Earth in one biosphere with one future. We’re all in this together! Crucial environmental issues concern ozone depletion, global warming, species extinction, marine habitat destruction and deforestation to name just a few. Overwhelming scientific evidence points to human activities as the primary cause of all of these problems. They imperil our very existence. At the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, just 200 years ago, our population went into rapid exponential growth. Now at 6.3 billion, we are experiencing a global increase of 250,000 more people (births over deaths) every day! It’s the equivalent of adding a San Diego to the world population in less than a week, all of Mexico in a year, and the entire North American population every three years. As our numbers increase, the numbers of many other species decline. Our population now exceeds that of any other primate species by over 10,000 fold; we are causing their extinction, literally by crowding them off the surface of the Earth. All living organisms, from simple bacteria to complex animals, are subject to the laws of Nature.

  • Downloading Private Apps on Google Play Answers to Common Questions About Play App Signing
    downloading private apps on google play Answers to common questions about Play App Signing. Android apps are cryptographically signed by the developer. This allows the package manager on the user’s device to verify that every app update comes from the same source and that it hasn’t been tampered with. Google Play also enforces this signature check when you upload your APK to the Google Play Console, so that even if someone had your login credentials it would be impossible to send a malicious update without also having access to your private key. Historically, developers were responsible for generating their own private keys and keeping them safe throughout the application’s lifetime. While this offered a lot of flexibility, it was also prone to mistakes: generating weak keys, accidentally checking in your private key to a public repository or even losing it altogether are just a few common ones that happen routinely even to seasoned developers. Nowadays developers have a compelling alternative to managing keys themselves: Play App Signing , in which the upload key (the one you use to upload your artifacts to Google Play) and the app signing key (the one used to sign APKs distributed to devices) can be separate, and the app signing key is stored securely on Google’s infrastructure. Even though many other popular platforms treat distribution keys this way, for many developers it’s a departure from the previous Android signing model, and some developers may feel like they’re giving up too much control over their apps. That’s why, I want to dispel some common misconceptions about Play App Signing, as well as give guidance on specific scenarios that you might encounter.

  • Chapter 22 Daatsʼíin, a Newly Identified Undocumented Language of Western Ethiopia: a Preliminary Examination Colleen Ahland SIL International
    Chapter 22 Daatsʼíin, a newly identified undocumented language of western Ethiopia: A preliminary examination Colleen Ahland SIL International Daatsʼíin is a heretofore unknown language spoken in western Ethiopia near the border with the Republic of Sudan. The Daatsʼíin people live in both Ethiopia and the Republic of Sudan but only those in Ethiopia still speak the Daatsʼíin language. The speakers of Daatsʼíin may number around 1,000 but may be as few as 300-500. This paper provides the first-ever overview of basic aspects of Daatsʼíin phonology, morphology and syntax. The overview documents that Daatsʼíin is structurally similar to the nearby Gumuz languages (of possible Nilo-Saharan affiliation) in many respects, including vocabulary, bound pronominals with a distinct tone for S versus A arguments, and incorporated nouns. However, there are a few differences, mainly in structure and certain tense-aspect categories of the verb word. 1 Introduction Daatsʼíin is the autonym of a people group living in western Ethiopia and the southern part of the Republic of Sudan. The Daats’íin in Sudan have lost their traditional language but those in Ethiopia still speak it. Up until 2013, the language and people group were unknown to researchers and not included in the Ethiopian Census. I traveled to the area in 2014 in order to investigate the language and confirmed that Daatsʼíin (ISO dtn) is distinct from but closely related to Gumuz (ISO guk). I estimate that the Daatsʼíin likely number less than 1000 and that their language may be in danger of dying due to their population size and the heavy influence of Arabic and Amharic in the area.

Similative morphemes as purpose clause markers in Ethiopia and beyond Yvonne Treis LLACAN (CNRS, INALCO, Université Sorbonne Paris-Cité) Abstract In more than 30 languages spoken at the Horn of Africa, a similative morpheme ‘like’ or a noun ‘manner’ or ‘type’ is used as a marker of purpose clauses. The paper first elaborates on the many functions of the enclitic morpheme =g ‘manner’ in Kambaata (Highland East Cushitic), which is used, among others, as a marker of the standard in similative and equative comparison (‘like’, ‘as’), of temporal clauses of immediate anteriority (‘as soon as’), of complement clauses (‘that’) and, most notably, of purpose clauses (‘in order to’).

Many famous attacks take web browsers as transmission channels to make the target computer infected by malwares, such as watering hole and domain name hijacking. In order to protect the data transmission, the SSL/TLS protocol has been widely used to defeat various hijacking attacks. However, the existence of such encryption protection makes the security software and devices confront with the diculty of analyzing the encrypted malicious trac at endpoints. In order to better solve this kind of situation, this paper proposes a new ecient and transparent method for large-scale automated TLS trac analysis, named as hyper TLS trac analysis (HTTA). It extracts multiple types of valuable data from the target system in the hyper mode and then correlates them to decrypt the network packets in real time, so that overall data correlation analysis can be performed on the target.
