Hadharem

The Hadharem (Arabic: حضارم, romanized: ḥaḍārim; singular: Hadhrami, Arabic: حضرمي, romanized: ḥaḍramī) are an Arabic-speaking ethnographic group indigenous to the Hadhramaut region in the Arabian Peninsula, which is part of modern-day Yemen. The spoken language of the Hadharem is Hadhrami Arabic. Among the two million inhabitants of Hadhramaut, there are about 1,300 distinct tribes.
Hadhramaut was under Muslim rule and converted to the faith during the time of Prophet Muhammad. A religious leader from Iraq introduced the Hadharem to Ibadi Islam in the mid-eighth century until in 951 AD when Sunnis took Hadhramaut and put it under their domain. To this day the Hadharem follow Sunni Islam, specifically the Shafi'i school. Hadharem women have had more freedom and education than women in many other Arab countries.
The Hadharem speak Hadhrami Arabic, a dialect of Arabic, although Hadharem living in the diaspora that have acculturated mainly speak the local language of the region they live in.
The Hadharem have a long seafaring and trading tradition that predates Semitic cultures. Hadramite influence was later overshadowed by the rise of the Sabaeans, who became the ruling class. This prompted Hadhrami families to emigrate in large numbers around the Indian Ocean basin, including the Horn of Africa, the Swahili Coast, the Malabar Coast, Hyderabad in South India, Sri Lanka, and Maritime Southeast Asia. In the mid 1930s the Hadhrami Diaspora numbered at 110,000, amounting to a third of the total Hadhrami population.
Hadharami communities exist in western Yemen, the trading ports of the Arab states of the Persian Gulf, and on the coast of the Red Sea. The money changers in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia have historically been of Hadhrami origin.
The Hadharem have long had a presence in the Horn of Africa (Djibouti, Ethiopia and Somalia), and also comprise a notable part of the Harari population. Hadhrami settlers were instrumental in helping to consolidate the Muslim community in the coastal Benadir province of Somalia, in particular. During the colonial period, disgruntled Hadharem from the tribal wars settled in various Somali towns. They were also frequently recruited into the armies of the Somali Sultanates.
Some Hadhrami communities also reportedly exist in Mozambique, Comoros, and Madagascar.
The vast majority of the Hadhrami Jews now live in Israel.
The Hadharem presence in Singapore came from encouragement of Stamford Raffles to trade in his newly established colony of Singapore.
Kandyan Convention

In the history of Sri Lanka, the Kandyan Convention (Sinhala: උඩරට ගිවිසුම, romanized: Udarata Giwisuma) was a treaty signed on 2 March 1815 between the British governor of Ceylon, Sir Robert Brownrigg, and the chiefs of the Kandyan Kingdom, British Ceylon, for the deposition of King Sri Vikrama Rajasinha and ceding of the kingdom's territory to the British Crown. It was signed in the Magul Maduwa (Royal Audience Hall) of the Royal Palace of Kandy.
The king, of South Indian ancestry, faced powerful opposition from the Sinhalese chieftains who sought to limit his power. A successful coup was organized by the chieftains, ending 2358 years of self-rule on the island and resulting in the imprisonment of the king in Vellore. The treaty is unique in that it was not signed by the monarch on the throne but by members of his court and other dignitaries of the kingdom.
The convention gained a degree of infamy when, according to apocryphal sources, Ven. Wariyapola Sri Sumangala Thero, a Buddhist monk of the kingdom, seized and trampled a Union Jack hoisted by the British, demanding the flag of Kandy be left flying until the convention was signed.
The authenticity of the native signatures have recently been called into question.
The proclamation consisted of 12 clauses.
The archives of the Government of Sri Lanka possesses the original copy of the convention.

Land Transfer Services in Rwanda

The National Land Agency (NLA) in Rwanda offers a comprehensive service for landowners to transfer ownership of their land to buyers. This process involves sending the completed file to either the sector office or a private notary for approval. Commercial or industrial land transactions require additional steps, as they are sent to the regional office for further improvements. The entire process typically takes up to seven working days. Notarization costs vary depending on the number of pages in the land transfer agreement, with an additional fee of 6,500 Rwandan Francs (RWF) if a local notary is used, payable after the notary signs the contract.
To initiate a land transfer, sellers must have an IremboGov account, which is essential for accessing the service. Buyers need to visit the nearest Gate agent with the seller's ID, ensuring the seller's ID matches the Landlord Identification Number (UPI). Rwandan applicants must provide their national ID numbers, while foreigners must use their passports. Organizations such as churches, NGOs, cooperatives, and professional associations must provide their name, gazette number, address, and UPI. Companies are required to submit their name, Tax Identification Number (TIN), address, and UPI. A valid phone number and email are also necessary for all applicants.
Notarization is a crucial step in the land transfer process, with fees dependent on the length of the land transfer agreement. The service offered by the NLA is streamlined to ensure efficiency and accuracy, providing landowners and buyers with a reliable method of transferring land ownership. Choosing a local notary incurs a standard fee, which is an integral part of the cost structure for completing the transfer. The emphasis on matching the UPI with the seller's identification number ensures that the process maintains a high level of integrity and transparency, benefiting all parties involved in the transaction.
List of countries by minimum wage

This is a list of the official minimum wage rates of the 193 United Nations member states and former members of the United Nations, also including the following territories and states with limited recognition (Northern Cyprus, Kosovo, etc.) and other independent countries. Some countries may have a very complicated minimum wage system; for example, India has more than 1202 minimum wage rates for different types of industries and skill levels. Meanwhile, other countries may have a national rate which often is superseded by state, provincial, cantonal, county and city minimum wage rates. For example, 33 states in the United States have higher minimum wages than the federal rate (plus military rates on federal bases) – on top of this an additional 42 city-level subdivisions having different minimum wage rates and 53 countries. In effect, the United States has over 100 different minimum wages across the nation. This is common in federalist nations such as Canada, and minimum wage in China also has numerous different rates. In the table below, only the lowest minimum wage is cited, or the highest-level subdivision where it applies.
The minimum wages listed refer to a gross amount, that is before deduction of taxes and social security contributions, which vary from one country to another. Also excluded from calculations are regulated paid days off, including public holidays, sick pay, annual leave and social insurance contributions paid by the employer.
For comparison, an annual wage column is provided in international dollars, a hypothetical unit of currency calculated based on the purchasing power parity (PPP) of household final consumption expenditure. For calculating the annual wage, the lowest general minimum wage was used.

Mining in Rwanda

Mining in Rwanda consists of extracting such minerals as tin, tantalum, and tungsten. In 2020, Rwanda earned about US$733m from mineral exports , making mining the biggest source of export revenues after tourism.
In 2019, the country was the 7th largest world producer of tungsten and the 12th largest world producer of tin.
In October 2012, Rwanda's Ministry of Natural Resources suspended mining activities in the country's western province on the basis that they were endangering the River Sebeya. The decision was met with negativity due to the affected mining companies’ loss of production and the loss of thousands of jobs for workers at the mines.

Everyday sadism

Everyday sadism (also known as subclinical sadism or simply sadism) is a personality trait characterized by the enjoyment of inflicting or witnessing pain upon other people or animals. Those who fit the characteristic are referred to as "sadists" or as "sadistic". Sadism has been associated with a lack of empathy, and with psychopathic traits.
The word "sadism" was first coined in the year 1888, with the meaning of "love of cruelty". It was based on the name of Count Donatien A.F. de Sade (also known as Marquis de Sade though he wasn't a marquis) as he was notorious for cruel sexual acts, acts that he would also glorify in fictional novels.
The word sadism is often used in casual senses referring to an enjoyment and willingness to engage in cruel acts.
Sadism is also used in more psychological contexts, albeit in its more extreme forms, such as in criminal or sexual contexts. Psychologists Delroy Paulhus and Donald Dutton have asserted that sadistic behavior is so common throughout history that it can be said that sadism lies deeper in the human condition. They also assert that research on the personality style was not viable until the creation of new psychometrics, such as the Varieties of Sadistic Tendencies scale. Studies were done on the behavior of sadists. One strategy implemented was asking who would volunteer to kill bugs. As expected by the researchers, sadists volunteered to kill bugs at greater rates than did nonsadists.
One study examined whether sadism could also appear prosocially, focusing on BDSM practitioners who inflict pain only with consent. Over 500 participants, including BDSM and non-BDSM individuals, completed surveys measuring everyday sadism under different consent conditions, along with empathy and personality traits. Results showed everyday sadism linked to lower empathy and agreeableness but higher Dark Triad traits, with psychopathy predicting sadism only in non-consent scenarios—suggesting most BDSM sadists aren’t everyday sadists, though those high in psychopathy might be.
A paper published in 2024 demonstrated that people high in everyday sadism blame victims more due to increased sadistic pleasure and reduced empathy. Across four studies (including an experience-sampling method with over 2,600 participants), this link persisted beyond personality traits (HEXACO and Dark Triad), cultural differences, and even among police officers who frequently encounter victim-perpetrator cases. Everyday sadism predicted less effortful processing of assault details and greater victim blaming in real-life situations, unaffected by victim closeness or incident severity.
The dark tetrad is the grouping of the dark triad personality traits narcissism, machiavellianism, psychopathy, with the addition of everyday sadism. Myrthe Meere and Vincent Egan note that subclinical sadism is seen in everyday settings, such as those who are attracted to violence on television or those who like to engage in combat sports. Studies on sadism show inverse correlations between perspective-taking and empathic concern.

Everyday carry

Everyday carry (EDC) or every-day carry is a collection of useful items that are consistently carried on person every day. The main reasons for having EDC are utility (usefulness), self-sufficiency, and preparedness: to help individuals improve simple everyday problem solving, from the mundane (opening packages, minor repairs) to possible emergency situations such as first aid or self-defense.
Some of the most common EDC items are watches, pens, wallets, knives, firearms, flashlights, lighters, car and home key rings, mobile phones, multi-tools, tissues, medications, and personal care items.
The choice and priority/ranking of which items to carry, and how or where to carry them, vary according to each person's needs depending on their occupation, avocations, lifestyle, and similar factors of everyday life. Goals include being able to solve everyday problems more efficiently and to be an asset instead of a liability or helpless bystander when a problem arises.
While often distributed among pockets in everyday clothing, carry options are frequently expanded by the addition of clothing accessories like a fanny pack, purse, EDC pouch, small daypack, sunglasses, bracelets, or even footwear like long boots or a vest with pockets. How EDC items are stored, though, depends on the purpose and intentions for their use.
The optimization of everyday carry (kit/layouts and carry modes) has become an internet subculture, which goes by the name EDC as well. The hobby overlaps with collecting, as many EDC enthusiasts are drawn into collecting EDC items in the quest for finding which one works best for their current EDC needs or for imagined scenarios, such as a light-duty day, a heavy-duty day, etc. The collecting of tools takes on an art appreciation component as fans appreciate the design cues, material choices, and craftsmanship that went into each model of tool, including trade-offs of costs versus benefits for each aspect of it. Many accessories manufacturers have capitalized on the trend and often describe their products in terms of EDC. "The best tool is the one that you have on you when you need one," is a common aphorism which argues against excessive optimization of the tools carried, due to diminishing returns.
