The researchers say that there was probably a pulse of sub-Saharan African DNA into Egypt roughly 700 years ago. The mixing of ancient Egyptians and Africans from further south means that modern Eg…
This story is a fictional account of the mission and execution of the neutralization of a sensitive intelligence collaborator during the US Marine-led humanitarian operation in Somalia in 1992. The US Marine Corps sent the 6th Counterintelligence Team to disrupt the threat.\nSomali Warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid ruled the streets of Mogadishu with an uncanny elusiveness that frustrated US/UN coalition strategists. Our mission was to quell intra-Clan violence and secure major supply routes for aid. It was assessed that Aidid might be the beneficiary of an intelligence leak. Joint Task Force Headquarters responded with a clandestine Counterintelligence operation designed to identify and neutralize this \"Insider Threat.\" This classified operation was known as Operation Looking Glass. The Counterintelligence community pinned the success of this sensitive operation on the shoulders of one man. Political infighting would complicate the mission's agenda, but not after a relentless pursuit to expose a collaborator.

Erfgoed ligt voor het grijpen in Somaliland. ‘Geen enkele site of monument in Somaliland is veilig, zolang er geen nationale wetten, geld, infrastructuur en getrainde mensen zijn. Tot die tijd kan iedereen als een Indiana Jones straffeloos gaan graaien.’ Maar voor de Somaliërs is erfgoed veel meer dan rotstekeningen of ruïnes.

Important Timing Note: These are handcrafted icons from Greece. Please allow 2-7 weeks for delivery. The average turnaround time is 4 weeks. If you are in a rush for the icon, please do not order this handmade item. ~~~ The icon reproductions are created by iconographer monks of various Greek Orthodox monasteries in Greece and all images are approved replications by the Greek Orthodox Church. As icons are considered to be the Gospel in image, these images are accurate and true Orthodox renderings, not second-hand interpretations. These icon reproductions are prepared in the traditional Orthodox style: a fine detailed image is mounted on solid wood. The mounted image is covered with shellac to provide the luster of a traditional byzantine icon. The icon is then covered with multiple layers of varnish to coat the image with a protective layer that shields the colors from fading and protects from humidity. This Icon also has a hook on the back enabling it to be hung on walls. These icons are a true Orthodox image approved by the Eastern Orthodox Archdiocese. Iconographer: Holy Monastery Dormition of Theotokos, Parnitha Saint Moses, who is also called Moses the Black, was a slave, but because of his evil life, his master cast him out, and he became a ruthless thief, dissolute in all his ways. Later, however, coming to repentance, he converted, and took up the monastic life under Saint Isidore of Scete. He gave himself over to prayer and the mortification of the carnal mind with such diligence that he later became a priest of exemplary virtue. He was revered by all for his lofty ascetical life and for his great humility. Once the Fathers in Scete asked Moses to come to an assembly to judge the fault of a certain brother, but he refused. When they insisted, he took a basket which had a hole in it, filled it with sand, and carried it on his shoulders. When the Fathers saw him coming, they asked him what the basket might mean. He answered, "My sins run out behind me, and I do not see them, and I am come this day to judge failings which are not mine." When a barbarian tribe was coming to Scete, Moses, conscious that he himself had slain other men when he was a thief, awaited them and was willingly slain by them with six other monks, at the end of the fourth century. He was a contemporary of Saint Arsenius the Great.

The Social, Health, and Economic Consequences of Pastoral Sedentarization in Marsabit District, Northern Kenya ERICABELLA ROTH AND ELLIOT FRATKIN 1. INTRODUCTION Formerly nomadic livestock-keeping pastoralists have settled in many regions of the world in the past century. Some groups, including those in the former Soviet Union, Iran, and Israel, have settled in response to state-enforced measures; others including Saami in Norway or Bedouins in Saudi Arabia, in response to changing economic opportunities. East Africa, home to many cattle- and camel-keeping pastoral societies, has been among the most recent to change. The shift to sedentism by East African pastoralists increased d- matically in the late 20th century as a result of sharp economic, political, demographic, and environmental changes. Prolonged drought, population growth, increased reliance on ag- culture, and political insecurities including civil war and ethnic conflict have all affected the ability of pastoralists to keep their herds. Still, the majority of pastoralist households in Kenya, Ethiopia, Somalia, and Tanzania remain committed to raising livestock, even as they adapt to farming or urban residence. Pastoral production remains a major economic focus in the savannas and scrub deserts of Africa, due to both its ecological adaptability and the economic incentive to market livestock and their products (Fratkin, 2001). Pastoralists settle for a variety of reasons, some in response to 'pushes'away from the pastoral economy, others to the 'pulls'of urban or agricultural life.
The recent growth of ICT infrastructure in Ethiopia is resulting in an exponential increase of digital information in local languages including Amharic. Huge volumes of data are available in Amharic, which is observed on the growing online newspapers, websites, and digital storage's of Ethiopian News Agency. To tackle the agency's news text management problems, a number of researches have been conducted on automatic processing of Amharic news texts using bag-of-words feature representation. However, using single words as features could result in losing the intended meaning when the concept is created from two or more sequential words. Thus, in order to maintain this concept, a phrase based approach (using bigrams and trigrams) has been proposed and implemented in this research.The result shows that using bigram phrases, the best accuracy (95.3%) has been obtained at four news categories, followed by (81.3%)for eight categories and (72.01%) for twelve categories.On the other hand, for trigram phrase structures, the best accuracy was(72.9%)four news categories, followed by 69.7% for eight categories, and 56.4% for twelve categories. Thus, bigrams shows better accuracy than trigrams

I have just acquired a small collection of Ethopian icons. They are all painted in the 20th century on goat skin in the most wonderful colours, the draughtsmanship is amazining. The above, presumably the Eternal Word seems to be a photographic reproduction, though it is on goat skin, the rest are obviously painted. Click to enlarge The Trinity This is St Michael "in Power". Anyone know what the inscription says? The Eternal Word or God the Father? I have no idea what this is, there are slight traces of gold (leaf?) on the animal being offered to the serpent. An anonymous saint, can anyone give a name? St George Archangel Gabriel Mother of God Archangels Mother of God Archangels St Michael with angels I have no idea what this represents, it is the crudest, it has gold and silver paint on it, is it perhaps a between Solomon and the Queen of Sheba? The figure with the pet lion (of Judah?) is beardless, there is an inscription. Anyone read Ge'Ez or know about Ethiopian iconography?
