| gabi powel long drive distance: The Fall of the Asante Empire Robert B. Edgerton, 2010-06-15 For the first time, anthropologist Robert Edgerton tells the story of the Hundred-Year War—from 1807 to 1900, between the British Empire and the Asante Kingdom—from the Asante point of view. In 1817, the first British envoy to meet the king of the Asante of West Africa was dazzled by his reception. A group of 5,000 Asante soldiers, many wearing immense caps topped with three foot eagle feathers and gold ram's horns, engulfed him with a zeal bordering on phrensy, shooting muskets into the air. The envoy was escorted, as no fewer than 100 bands played, to the Asante king's palace and greeted by a tremendous throng of 30,000 noblemen and soldiers, bedecked with so much gold that his party had to avert their eyes to avoid the blinding glare. Some Asante elders wore gold ornaments so massive they had to be supported by attendants. But a criminal being lead to his execution - hands tied, ears severed, knives thrust through his cheeks and shoulder blades - was also paraded before them as a warning of what would befall malefactors. This first encounter set the stage for one of the longest and fiercest wars in all the European conquest of Africa. At its height, the Asante empire, on the Gold Coast of Africa in present-day Ghana, comprised three million people and had its own highly sophisticated social, political, and military institutions. Armed with European firearms, the tenacious and disciplined Asante army inflicted heavy casualties on advancing British troops, in some cases defeating them. They won the respect and admiration of British commanders, and displayed a unique willingness to adapt their traditional military tactics to counter superior British technology. Even well after a British fort had been established in Kumase, the Asante capital, the indigenous culture stubbornly resisted Europeanization, as long as the golden stool, the sacred repository of royal power, remained in Asante hands. It was only after an entire century of fighting that resistance ultimately ceased. |
| gabi powel long drive distance: Biology of European Sea Bass F Javier Sanchez Vazquez, Jos A. Muoz-Cueto, 2019-08-30 European sea bass, Dicentrachus labrax, has attracted the attention of many people: scientist, fi sh farmers, fi shermen and other stakeholders. Since ancient times, this species has been regarded as a highly valuable table fi sh, and it is actually a delicacy in the current restaurant marketing. This fi sh has many different names. In France, it is called loup de mer, while in the Iberian Peninsula it is kwnon as lubina or robalo. In Italy they name sea bass as branzino or spigola, whereas the Greeks refer this fi sh as lavraki (from its vernacular name) and the Turks as levrek. European sea bass was historically cultured in coastal lagoons and tidal reservoirs, so it should not be surprising this fi sh species was one of the fi rst marine fi sh to be farmed in Europe using modern aquaculture techniques. In fact, in Italy sea bass and seabream are the most consumed fi sh species. With declining fi sheries, the aquaculture of European sea bass becomes increasingly important to provide a high quality product to consumers. In fact, according to FAO predictions, by 2030 over 65% of seafood will be supplied by aquaculture. Sea bass aquaculture production has been rising since the early 90s, reaching over 130,000 tonnes per year in the last few years, while fi sheries catches remain stacked around 10,000 tonnes per year. Geographically, the main production of sea bass is located in two countries: Turkey (34.2%) and Greece (34.1%); although this species is cultured in many other Mediterranean countries, such as Spain (11.4%), Italy (6.9%), Egypt (4%), Croatia (2.5%), France (2.4%), Tunisia, Cyprus, Portugal, etc-- |

He is deeply in love with his African wife, who escaped apartheid South Africa with the help of his communist friend. Despite his misgivings, Castle decides to act as a double agent, passing information to the Soviets to help his in-laws in South Africa. In order to evade detection, he allows his assistant to be wrongly identified as the source of the leaks. But when suspicions remain, Castle is forced to make an even more excruciating sacrifice to save himself. Originally published in 1978, The Human Factor is an exciting novel of espionage drawn from Greene’s own experiences in MI6 during World War II, and ultimately a deeply humanistic examination of the very nature of loyalty.

| gabi powel long drive distance: Lost But Not Forgotten , 2003 This guide has been prepared to assist in the identification of Aboriginal unmarked graves. The aim of this document is to assist non-specialists who are familiar with potential burial sites, but who have only limited technical expertise, to select the most appropriate technique(s) of grave identification for use in their own areas. This guide explains how the techniques work, where they work effectively, what their limitations are, and how they may be combined for optimal results. The survey methods, outcomes constraints and the potential costs are outlined. Although most Aboriginal burials pre-dating European colonisation are effectively unmarked, these guidelines are specifically designed for the identification of graves from the historic period (post-1788).-- Background summary. |

| gabi powel long drive distance: The Royal Treatment Barbara Royal, 2012-09-18 An integrative and revolutionary way to treat your animals, combining holistic and natural medicine with the best of modern science. Dr. Barbara Royal is a passionate, dedicated, and innovative veterinarian with a unique approach to medicine. Her patients have included countless different species from German shepherds at her private practice, to baby owls in the wild, to zebras in the zoo. Her clients are the humans who live for their pets, much like she does. Her ability to lend a voice to sick or injured animals and carry out the best treatment for them is unmatched. An expert diagnostician with a background in zoo and wildlife medicine, Dr. Royal has learned that adhering to the teachings of Western medicine is often not the best way to fully cure her patients. With the clinical experience to know when to use surgery, medications, and alternative methods, plus an observant and empathetic understanding of the evolutionary needs of her patients, she individually tailors the Royal Treatment to ensure that each pet (and owner!) lives as happily and healthfully as possible. The knowledge she has gained from wild animals gives her valuable insight into the cat in your kitchen and the dog in your living room. Our pets have all evolved from wild species and adapted to domestic life in many ways, but their natural characteristics are genetically fixed. In order for our pets to meet their full health potential, we must be mindful of these natural nutritional, emotional, and physical needs. Applying common sense in this way, along with the support of medicine, nutrition, elements of Eastern medicine, and physical rehabilitation, fosters an animal’s natural inclination toward optimal health and immunity. There is no placebo effect in animal medicine, and Dr. Royal has seen amazing results with her integrative approach, time and time again. A must-have for all pet owners, these pages shimmer with ingenious advice, insight, and scientific originality. But most of all, a veterinarian with heart comes through in every word. Dr. Royal empowers animal lovers to lift their pets into a realm of natural health and happiness that will be palpable from shiny coat to bouncy step. *** Learn everything you need to know about taking care of your pet naturally, including: • Functional nutrition and diet recipes • Commercial pet food: recognizing the good, the bad, and the unhealthy • How diet and protein levels specifically affect your pet’s health and behavior • Judicious use of herbs and medicines • How to detect if your pet is feeling pain and where • Noninvasive, nonsurgical treatments for genetically flawed hips and other arthritic joints • How to know if your pet is happy • How to clean your dog’s, cat’s, or rabbit’s ears—the right way! • Pet supplements explained • Which vaccines to give or not give your pet • Evolutionary insights into your pet’s behavior • Getting your new puppy off to a perfect start • How acupuncture works • Geriatric wellness and end-of-life care . . . and more |

Born in early twentieth-century Shanghai, Banks was orphaned at the age of nine after the separate disappearances of his parents. Now, more than twenty years later, he is a celebrated figure in London society; yet the investigative expertise that has garnered him fame has done little to illuminate the circumstances of his parents' alleged kidnappings. Banks travels to the seething, labyrinthine city of his memory in hopes of solving the mystery of his own painful past, only to find that war is ravaging Shanghai beyond recognition—and that his own recollections are proving as difficult to trust as the people around him. Masterful, suspenseful and psychologically acute, When We Were Orphans offers a profound meditation on the shifting quality of memory, and the possibility of avenging one’s past. |
