Nomadic Life

People are today located in media ecosystems in which a variety of ICT devices and platforms coexist and complement each other to fulfil users’ heterogeneous requirements. These multi-media affordances promote a highly hyperlinked and nomadic habit of digital data management which blurs the long-standing boundaries between information storage, sharing and exchange. Specifically, during the pervasive sharing and browsing of fragmentary digital information (e.g. photos, videos, online diaries, news articles) across various platforms, life experiences and knowledge involved are meanwhile classified and stored for future retrieval and collective memory construction. For international migrants who straddle different geographical and cultural contexts, management of various digital materials is particularly complicated as they have to be familiar with and appropriately navigate technological infrastructures of both home and host countries. Drawing on ethnographic observations of 40 Chinese migrant mothers in Singapore, this article delves into their quotidian routines of acquiring, storing, sharing and exchanging digital information across a range of ICT devices and platforms, as well as cultural and emotional implications of these mediated behaviours for their everyday life experiences. A multi-layer and multi-sited repertoire of ‘life archiving’ was identified among these migrant mothers in which they leave footprints of everyday life through a tactical combination of interactive sharing, pervasive tagging and backup storage of diverse digital content.

AbstractForaging vocalizations given by Japanese and rhesus momkeys reared by their biological mothers differed from each other in a single parameter. Calls made by a Japanese monkey fostered by a rhesus female were dissimilar to those of conspecifics reared by their biological mothers, but similar to those of rhesus monkeys reared by their biological mothers, and the vocalizations given by rhesus monkeys fostered by Japanese monkey mothers were dissimilar to those of conspecifics reared by their biological mothers, but similar to those of Japanese monkeys reared by their biological mothers. Playback experiments revealed that both Japanese and rhesus monkeys distinguished between the calls of Japanese monkeys reared by their biological mothers and of the cross-fostered rhesus monkeys on one hand, and the vocalizations of rhesus monkeys reared by their biological mothers and of the cross-fostered Japanese monkey on the other hand. Thus, production of species-specific vocalizations was learned by each species, and it was the learned species-difference which the monkeys themselves discriminated.

Social Document

No other people in the world, perhaps, have given more information in their poetry on their cultural and social life than have the Arabs over the centuries. Many years before the advent of Islam and long before they had any national political organization, the Arabs had developed a highly articulate poetic art, strict in its syntax and metrical schemes and fantastically rich in its vocabulary and observation of detail. The merciless desert, the harsh environment in which the Arabs lived, their ever shifting nomadic life, left almost no traces of their social structure and the cultural aspects of their life. It is only in their poetry – these monuments built of words – that we find such evidence, and it speaks more eloquently than cuneiform on marble statues ever could.

Abstract Seeds are effective and efficient plant reproductive and dispersal structures consisting of an embryo, food supply and protected covering. As the start of the next generation, seeds occupy a critical position in plant life history and in the survival of the species (Black et al., 2000). Seed husbandry formed the basis for early agriculture and eventual civilization. People learned to plant, harvest, and preserve the seeds of certain grasses for winter and they abandoned nomadic life to build permanent settlements (Copeland and McDonald, 2001). Long viability has allowed seeds to be passed from generation to generation, with some, e.g. the Indian lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) remaining viable for as long as 1000 years (Janick, 1986). Seeds are remarkably varied and diverse. The orchid species boasts the smallest known seed, a dust-like particle hardly visible to the naked eye (Copeland and McDonald, 2001). Large perennial plants typically have the heaviest seed size, e.g. coconut.. Shape ranges from round or oval in many seed species, to triangular, elliptic, elongated, spiked, thorned, and hairy or winged, depending on the natural method of disposal. Together with differences in size and shape, seeds are highly diverse in a number of other aspects, many of which are relevant to horticultural production and seed technology which has developed to address such issues as seed dormancy, viability and storage life.
