Khaak Aur Khoon is a 1979 Pakistani Urdu film directed by Masood Parvez and based on the Naseem Hijazi's novel by the same name. The lead cast included Naveen Tajik, Shujaat Hashmi, Abid Ali, and Mehboob Alam. Despite having an average box office performance, Khaak Aur Khoon received 8 Nigar Awards for various aspects of filmmaking.

Plot
The story is set in the background of Indo-Pakistan Partition in 1947. The film depicts the hurdles and mass massacre that Muslims from East Punjab faced in their attempt to migrate to the newly formed country Pakistan. The main character is Saleem, the son of a tahsildar and a member of a big joint family living in a village of Eastern Punjab. After spending a childhood full of smiles and laughter, Saleem joins the All India Muslim League as a college student and becomes an activist for the cause of an independent state.

The later part of the film is all about the brutality committed against the Muslim migrants. Saleem's entire family is martyred despite fighting valiantly during the days of migration when Sikh mobs and the Muslims of Saleem's village engage in a violent battle. Saleem survives and continues to serve the cause and assist the migrants during their arduous journey to Pakistan. 

After reaching Pakistan, Saleem marries Asmat, the girl he has always been in love with since his high school days. In the end, Saleem, though deeply saddened over the sacrifices his family had to offer, feels content with his efforts and contributions to the formation of a separate state of Pakistan.

A home study or homestudy is a screening of the home and life of prospective adoptive parents prior to allowing an adoption to take place. In some places, and in all international adoptions, a home study is required by law. Even where it is not legally mandated, it may be required by an adoption agency. Depending on the location and agency, different information may be sought during a home study.

A home study can be used both to aid the prospective parents in preparing to raise an adoptive child, and to rule out those who are not fit to be parents.

The ultimate purpose of a home study is for the benefit of the child, not the parents. Therefore, screeners are instructed to be thorough in their examinations.

There is typically a cost to a home study, which is usually several hundred to several thousand US dollars. In most cases, the prospective adoptive parents are responsible to cover the cost.

Information
The types of information that may be sought from a home study include the determination if there is abuse in the past, family background, employment history, a criminal background check of the prospective parents, a credit check, medical records, and an examination of the home.

A home study, as its name implies, examines the dwelling of the prospective parents. Factors that may be taken into account include the cleanliness and condition of the home, fire safety, sanitation, and the well-being of the neighborhood where the home is located.

Factors pertaining to the people may include their desire to adopt, their understanding of the relationship between adoptive parents and children, and their willingness to share with an adopted child the fact that they are adopted.

Criticism
Home studies are criticized by many who feel they are intrusive, or who feel that there may be discrimination against certain people who are perfectly capable of parenting, but are ruled out due to various issues.

Zangasso (also Sangasso) is a small town and commune in the Cercle of Koutiala in the Sikasso Region of southern Mali. The commune covers an area of 452 square kilometers and includes 10 settlements. In the 2009 census it had a population of 19,925. The small town of Zangasso (or Sangasso), the administrative centre (chef-lieu) of the commune, is 30 km southwest of Koutiala on the Route Nationale 11 that links Koutiala with Sikasso.

The French explorer René Caillié stopped at Zangasso on 12 February 1828 on his journey to Timbuktu. He was travelling with a caravan transporting kola nuts to Djenné. In his book Travels through Central Africa to Timbuctoo published in 1830, he spelled the name of the village as Sanasso. He wrote:
As we advanced the soil became sandy and well cultivated. The country was generally open, yet there were some cés and nédés rhamnus lotus and nauclea. We met a numerous caravan from Jenné, laden with salt. This caravan was composed of about two hundred men, sixty women, and twenty five asses. About nine o'clock in the morning we halted at Sanasso. From Toumaré to Jenné, wood is so scarce that the greater part of the inhabitants burn millet stubble. Sanasso is shaded by bombaces and baobabs. Like all Bambara villages in this region, it is built of bricks baked in the sun. The houses have only a ground floor: they are very dirty, and surrounded with walls. 
Caillié recorded details of many of the plants. The "cés" are shea trees Vitellaria paradoxa (formerly Butyrospermum parkii) from which shea butter is made. "Nédé" is Parkia biglobosa. Rhamnus lotus is a synonym for Ziziphus lotus, and his nauclea were probably Mitragyna inermis.

The geology of Eritrea in east Africa broadly consists of Precambrian rocks in the west, Paleozoic glacial sedimentary rocks in the South and Cenozoic sediments and volcanics along the coastal zone adjoining the Red Sea. The Precambrian rocks been involved with the orogeny process, which is when a section of the Earth's crust is deformed to form a mountain range. Mesozoic sediments in the Danakil and Aysha horsts, which are raised blocks of the Earth's crust that have been lifted, were deformed. The older rocks include meta-sediments and older gneissic basement belonging to different Proterozoic terranes. Mesozoic sediments of marine origin occur in the coastal area along the Red Sea. A number of thin Miocene age basalt flows occur within the sediments of this zone whilst the basalts of the Aden Series date from Pliocene to Holocene times, some being extruded at the time of a major phase of uplift and rifting during the Pleistocene.

Economic geology
The country produces salt, gypsum and kaolin but also has resources of asbestos, baryte, potash and talc. Metal resources include copper, gold, iron ore, lead, zinc, silver and magnesium. There have been discoveries of high-grade polymetallic volcanogenic massive sulfide ore deposits in recent years. Most mineral production in the south of the country was eliminated due to tension from ongoing conflicts with Ethiopia. About  of gold was mined annually in the late 1990s.

In the Dallol depression, large quantities of Neogene evaporites can be found, including halites, gypsum, and potassium salt.

Mamastrovirus is a genus of viruses, in the family Astroviridae. Human, mammals, and vertebrates serve as natural hosts. There are 19 species in this genus. Diseases associated with this genus include infantile gastroenteritis.

Taxonomy
The genus contains the following species:

Mamastrovirus 1
Mamastrovirus 2
Mamastrovirus 3
Mamastrovirus 4
Mamastrovirus 5
Mamastrovirus 6
Mamastrovirus 7
Mamastrovirus 8
Mamastrovirus 9
Mamastrovirus 10

Mamastrovirus 12
Mamastrovirus 13
Mamastrovirus 14
Mamastrovirus 15
Mamastrovirus 16
Mamastrovirus 17
Mamastrovirus 18
Mamastrovirus 19

Structure
Viruses in Mamastrovirus are non-enveloped, with icosahedral and spherical geometries, and T=3 symmetry. The diameter is around 35 nm. Genomes are linear and non-segmented, around 6.8-7kb in length.

Life cycle
Viral replication is cytoplasmic. Entry into the host cell is achieved by attachment to host receptors, which mediates endocytosis. Replication follows the positive stranded RNA virus replication model. Positive stranded RNA virus transcription, using an unknown model of subgenomic RNA transcription is the method of transcription. Translation takes place by -1 ribosomal frameshifting. Human, mammals, and  vertebrates serve as the natural host. Transmission routes are fecal-oral.
