One of the commonest classes of historical Tongan artefacts, the war-club, is discussed. Although generally known in recent times by the term povai, during their period of active, practical use ...(until the 1870s or thereabouts) these weapons were known by the terms 'akau 'stave', 'akau ta 'striking stave' or 'akau tau 'war stave'. A brief ethnohistoric reconstruction of 'akau in Tonga during the later 18th and early 19th centuries is provided. In the second part of the article, a practical overview of formal typological variation in 'akau is provided.

Safou (Dacryodes edulis) pulp oil became a new hope for fragile economics of central Africa countries. Raphia sese palm tree (Kolo) produces also an edible vegetable oil of well nutritious value. ...Various extraction methods were checked for the best yields. By soxhlet extractor using petroleum ether best yields were attained (47% for Safou and 52% for Kolo; dry weight) followed by the Bligh and Dyer method (43.2% for Safou and 50.8% for Kolo). No further improvement was obtained by the enzymatic treatment with Viscozym L (42% for Safou, 51.3% for Kolo). The application of enzyme added to the preservation of oil from oxidation during extraction process.

The paper explores competing and often violent attempts to redefine ethnic group membership in an Ijaw, oil-producing community in the Niger Delta. The proliferation of pan-ethnic nationalist ...movements in Nigeria and particularly in the Niger Delta over the last decade, suggests that a certain degree of pan-ethnic cohesion or consensus exists amongst members of the ethnic group concerned. The paper argues that the question of ethnic belonging is an altogether more complex, widely contested and as yet unsettled one, in which the interests of different generations and social classes collide. Micro-level studies reveal that instead of pan-ethnic consensus in oil-producing villages in Ogbia, there has been an unravelling of an attachment to a pan-Ijaw identity and the emergence of new ethnic identities, which are more useful in the immediate struggles over the spoils of oil at a village level. This points to the need to re-evaluate our undertanding of ethnicity and of pan-ethnic movements more generally, in this case those of the Ijaw, as non-static, dynamic phenomena, whose purpose and composition can only be understood relative to the contexts within which they emerge and the audience for which their discourse is intended. /// Cet article explore les tentatives conflictuelles et souvent violentes de redéfinition de l'appartenance à un groupe ethnique, les Ijaw, dans une communauté productrice de pétrole dans le delta du Niger. La prolifération de mouvements nationalistes pan-ethniques au Nigeria et particulièrement dans le delta du Niger depuis dix ans montre qu'un certain degré de cohésion et de consensus existe au sein des groupes ethniques concernés. L'article avance que la question de l'appartenance ethnique est une question complexe, contestée et non résolue où entrent en conflit les intérêts divergents des différentes générations et classes sociales. Les études menées dans la région pétrolifère d'Ogbia (État de Bayelsa) montrent qu'on n'observe pas de consensus pan-ethnique à Ogbia mais, qu'on assiste, au contraire, au développement d'un attachement à une identité pan-ijaw et à l'émergence de nouvelles identités ethniques qui sont plus utiles dans les conflits immédiats liés aux gains tirés du pétrole au niveau du village. Ces observations nous incitent à reconsidérer l'ethnicité et les mouvements ethniques comme des phénomènes non statiques et dynamiques dont les objectifs et la composition ne peuvent être compris que dans le cadre du contexte de leur émergence et de l'audience envers laquelle leur discours est destiné.
Tradicijsko lončarstvo u Hrvatskoj poznaje korištenje ručnoga odnosno nožnoga lončarskog kola te takozvanu žensku keramiku bez upotrebe lončarskog kola. Lončarstvo Crikvenice pripada lončarstvu ...ručnoga kola. Prestankom kuhanja na otvorenom ognjištu smanjivala se potreba za lončarskim proizvodima i postupno se gasila lončarska tradicija. U nastavku članka opisuju se postupci pripreme smjese, oblikovanja, sušenja, pečenja i kaljenja, izvorno zabilježeni 1936. i 1957. godine prema kazivanjima dvojice posljednjih lončara u Hrvatskom primorju.
