Some of the most famous treasures in the world were discovered at the Varna necropolis, including the world's oldest golden ornaments. There are Thracian tombs and sanctuaries in Kazanlak, Sveshtari, Starosel, Aleksandrovo, Perperikon, and Tatul. A large number of other golden artifacts have been found, in the Panagyurishte, Valchitran, Rogozen, and elsewhere. The remains of the Thracian, Hellenistic and Roman culture are many and varied.
The Rose is the symbol of Bulgaria. Rose picking, one of the oldest and traditional customs of Bulgarians, has become primarily a tourist attraction. Carpets from the time of the Bulgarian Revival are now highly valued works of art. The major centers of carpet weaving are Kotel, Chiprovtsi and Samokov. Along with traditional handicrafts, Bulgaria's people have also preserved a wide range of traditional popular customs and songs.
During the Bulgarian Revival, the monasteries served as centers of artistic and educational activity. There are still many working monasteries in the country – Rila Monastery, Bachkovo Monastery, Troyan Monastery, Zemen Monastery, Glozhene Monastery, Kilifarevo Monastery, Shipchenski Monastery, and others. Our country is also famous for its well-established national traditions of icon painting and wood carving. The best known icons and carvings are from Samokov, Tryavna and Bansko.
The Bulgarian national costume is an intrinsic part of Bulgarian lifestyle and culture. Over the ages, folk costume designs have been influenced by Thracian, Slavonic and ancient Bulgarian motives. The basic article of clothing is a white shirt with long sleeves, worn under vests and coats of various shapes, materials and decorations. There are four types of national female costumes: the single apron, the double apron, the tunic, and the sayana, and there are two types of national male costumes: white-shirt and black-shirt. Each ethnographic area (Dobrich, Pirin, Rhodope, Northern, Thracian and Sofia) has its own typical workday, holiday and wedding costumes.
An important part Bulgarian culture is folk music and national dances, such as the horo. Instruments typically used to perform Bulgarian national music are the fiddle, the mandolin, the kaval (flute), the gaida (bagpipe), the pipe, the dvoyanka (double pipe), the drum and the tarabuka, another percussion instrument. Bulgarian folk songs are handed down orally from one generation to the next.
Bulgaria's museums preserve valuable collections of domestic, cultural and military articles; statues, burial steles and monuments; masks, mosaics, and small statuettes of ancient gods; and many other precious exhibits.
Bulgarians have developed their culture and enriched it over the millennia, and they preserve it and continue to develop it to the present day. In more recent times, Bulgarians have also had reason to take pride in their literature, arts, music, and architecture. A proof of ongoing involvement is Bulgaria's rich cultural calendar of national and international festivals for young and old alike, as well as other gatherings, cultural events, and expositions.

The first test of the All Black season is over and there was a fair bit of relief surrounding the win over the Irish in Hamilton.
A rout looked on the cards when Doug Howlett crossed in the corner to open the game, but the All Blacks trailed for much of the game before a try to the recalled Troy Flavell sealed victory for the home team.
Ireland has never beaten the All Blacks in a record that stretches back 101 years. They should have won in Hamilton and will be enormously frustrated at having let a golden opportunity slip.
There is no doubt the All Blacks will lift for the second test this weekend, but doubts do remain over coach Graham Henry's plan to continue developing depth ahead of next year's World Cup in France.
Many would prefer to see the strongest All Black lineup fielded in every test, with those behind them doing their best to unseat the starting players. But so far Henry hasn't missed a trick and this experiment is still a work in progress.
The majority of the rugby public support the plan, even if they are uneasy with it, but that could change quickly if, or when, the All Blacks inevitably drop games between now and the World Cup.
Just how much Henry can retain the support of the public once that happens remains to be seen.
So far everything the All Black coach turns to gold.The return of Flavell after two years in Japan was a gamble, but it paid off in
Hamilton. His try aside, the big utility was his typically imposing self when brought on in the second half.
This column was written before the naming of the second test team, but it wouldn't surprise if Flavell starts on the blindside, or even at lock.
The big disappointment of the first test would have to be Ma'a Nonu, who continues to struggle when stepping up to international level.
True, the Wellington centre is one of the best linebreakers in the world, but he tends to go missing in games and rare moments of brilliance aren't enough in the rarified atmosphere of the All Blacks.
Post-match analysis has it that the All Blacks were rusty, while the Irish were unlucky, but the late intrusion of a bikini-clad women onto the Waikato Stadium pitch has also created headlines.
The Waikato Rugby Union has asked the local council to institute a bylaw which would see streakers and the like fined heavily for their exploits.
Meanwhile, the woman's bikini is being auctioned on Trade Me and at last count was up to $800. Go figure.

The tides
driven by an invisible force,
incessantly caress.
It could be any shore.
The tides
The tides
driven by an invisible force,
incessantly caress.
It could be any shore.
When I touch the wood,
it's your skin I feel.
When I reach for the sky,
it's your dream I hope.
As the time flies us by,
there's something that remains.
I hold it in my head,
a garden that I made.
I put my heart on hold
long ago.
I don't remember the signs,
it's a foreign land.
People don't understand
when they see me emotionless,
how hard it is to pretend
to be one of them.
When I don't know
where I am,
I hum a little song
to myself,
never deal with anything
too personal,
now that I can get away
from my folks.
The clock I'd stopped
does grind
so loudly
in my mind.
Need to let the cold
seeping in,
for the chance
to make some friends.
Still so afraid
of losing the ones I love,
or that I can't
help them enough.
Can I take it now?
My disappointment
with myself?
I put my heart on hold.
My place is vacant
and my eyes are cold.
I feel safely mechanical.
But I can't run free,
without my heart whole.
Was it something I had done?
Or part of me I have to accept?
Who do I go for advice?
When nobody knows who I am?
I have to unpause.
Have to face the spot.
Name the things I can't change
and bring them back home.
I've learned it's very stupid to feel
and very very stupid to love.
When you are not strong
and easily led astray
and you don't recognize the path.
Monsters, tricksters, cowards abound.
Before you know it
the wrong things are learned,
you don't know who you are.
But I need to feel, we all need to love.
Let's all be stupid now.
1, 2, 3, breath. 1, 2, 3, breath.
I call on stupid stupid love.
I was raised to respect
certain animals & insects:
spiders, anoles, lady bugs
with 7 dots that eat flies.
I always check before I kill
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, you can go.
Because we have a common foe
or maybe you're just kinda cute.
I was taught to take notes,
to discern the friends from the foes.
But I don't always keep the door closed
and I don't know which one to keep close.
The biggest pest in the household
don't know up from down, right from wrong.
I might as well be a corpse
to attract the flies for y'all to eat.
You told me not to change
and I said yes.
Sorry I lied,
I lost the thing I once had.
It's like a heart-attack,
sirens, flashes, warning signs.
I guess my brain can't decide,
to win or just to survive.
So it's the middle road,
can't see the sun,
can't rest at night.
Sorry for the people I disappointed.
Sorry for the ones I still blame,
especially myself & I.
Want to be alive,
just to keep myself alive.
It's a battle with no win or lose,
it's the outside that's inside.
I keep hearing people say "rise, rise"!
Have they learned their lessons? Not I.
I guess I was sorta insane.
The spark you saw
was all part of a dream.
I was there but somewhere also.
Do you know what I mean?
I'm sorry I've changed.
I'm sorry I'm the same.
You said it long ago,
but did you really know
what any of this means?
I have someone else's lips.
I have someone else's nose.
I have my mother's forehead
and her cheekbones.
I have my father's eyes,
not my mother's that look like a cat's.
Looking into his is like looking into mine own.
While hers are like stranger's,
but still pretty to look at.
I have my father's torso.
I have my mother's bosoms.
I have athlete's foot like she does
and the full head of hair too
that's not turning grey
like when she's my age.
Must be my father's gift.
I have god knows whose' eyebrows.
I may have grandfather's selfishness.
I may have a touch of grandmother's madness.
I suffered mother's iron will.
I marveled & pitied father's intellect.
I'm quick to withdrawn when being beaten back.
I yearn like them for something they never had.
Are we a tree? More like a twig.
You said my name's not gonna be on that list.
So then why should I give a shit?
All them pretty things to look at,
just as well cause they're made to be wiped.
If this's a game I will hold my line.
I have my mother's & my father's tears.
I don't want to pass it on if that's all I have.
I live a half life, yo,
that I'm always guilty for.
Sorry I was born.
Sorry I was a girl.
Sorry they almost divorced.
Sorry they stayed together.
I learned to compromise
and call nowhere home.
No directions, no set belief.
So what am I guilty for?
Sorry I was never young.
Sorry I don't like people.
Sorry I lie because
I don't want to talk
to convince you something
I can't wrap my head around.
Sorry I change my mind.
Sorry I walk you into a trap.
I remember what I said at seven
to convince my parents.
I remember the moment
I discovered a tape
that turned my care-free
into bone-deep suspicion.
I'm sorry that I'm sorry.
I feel guilty feeling this.
Am I supposed to grow up?
Why does it feel like death?
What do I have to adjust
to feel like a well-adjusted person?
I say "sorry" to myself.
I've let myself down.
Not owning my differences,
still not cutting it.
Maybe just a little space,
a breath, at whiskey bottom.

The Persian Gulf is flanked to the west by wedge-shaped Kuwait and by Saudi Arabia with its vast tan-, pink-, and white-sand deserts; to the south by Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Oman; and to the east by the dry mountains of Iran.
The wetlands and rivers of Mesopotamia border the Gulf on the north.
The red dots mark gas flares in oil fields of Iran and Iraq. The Persian Gulf (left) and the Gulf of Oman (right) were once the site of a rift, an area where two plates of the earth's crust pulled apart from each other.
The Indian Ocean filled in the widening gap between the two plates.
Further to the right are various offshore islands of the United Arab Emirates; most of the darker area to the right makes up Oman. The old and new zones of Doha, the capital city of Qatar, are clearly visible from the International Space Station.
The old city comprises the ancient bazaar, or Souq, near the dhow harbor, which is still used today for traditional Arab sailing vessels.

Depression is one of the world's most disabling diseases, according to the World Health Organization. With the proper help, about 70 percent of people with clinical depression improve, yet two out of three depressed patients never get treated. What's keeping people away?
Some of the common reasons cited over the years include embarrassment, not wanting to go on antidepressants, and the general helplessness and hopelessness that are hallmarks of the disease.
As the brilliant cartoonist behind Hyperbole and a Half puts it, "Trying to use willpower to overcome the apathetic sort of sadness that accompanies depression is like a person with no arms trying to punch themselves until their hands grow back. A fundamental component of the plan is missing and it isn't going to work."
But this week, a first-of-its-kind study from Dartmouth University researchers points to another major reason depressed patients don't always get the treatment they need. Their research, published in BMJ Open, shows a disconnect between the priorities of patients and clinicians: While both are most concerned with finding the treatment that'll work, patients rank the cost and insurance feasibility as a close second, while doctors don't prioritize this factor.

Magtech - Lead Round Nose - 124 Grain 9mm Luger Ammo - 50 Rounds
9mm Luger continues to be the most popular centerfire pistol caliber on the market for casual and professional target shooting as well as a prime choice for personal defense. This is in part due to the economy and dependability of the round as well as its versatility in bullet design and capability. The use of lead rounds is not recommended for use in firearms with polygonal rifling or with suppressors, but barrels with conventional rifling will excel at putting these rounds on target with startling precision. Further, the extra weight – 9 grains more than the more common 115 - gives a little more positive pressure to cycling. This 124 grain, lead round nosed bullet by Magtech exits the barrel at 1095 feet per second with 339 foot pounds of energy. This is an excellent choice for range training, target shooting and even competitions, or simply use as an introductory round to the caliber.
Magtech, part of the CBC Corporation – one of the largest ammunition producing corporations in the world - continues to offer new and diversified products foe all your shooting needs. Further, the company manufactures all of its centerfire ammunition with boxer primed cases for additional value to shooters who reload their cartridges.

Monoline FSA facing SEC legal action
The US monoline insurer is told the SEC might sue over bid rigging allegations involving local governments
Yet more woes have been heaped on the US monoline insurers as it emerged that the most powerful American regulator is considering taking legal action against FSA Inc, the New York based firm owned by Dexia SA, the Franco-Belgian financial services group.
The move comes amid serious question marks over the financial strength of the monoline insurers, who underwrite bonds issued by companies across the globe.
It indicates that the Securities and Exchange Commission might be preparing to press ahead with legal actions involving more than a dozen banks, insurance companies and advisers - including FSA - that were subpoenaed in November 2006.

Stiegler's Gorge Hydroelectric Power Station (SGHPS), also Rufiji Hydroelectric Power Station, is a 2,115 megawatts (2,836,000 hp) hydroelectric dam under construction in Tanzania.[2] The power station is expected to produce 5,920GWh of power annually.[1][3]
The government of Tanzania has been considering establishing this power station since the 1960s. When fully developed, it will be the largest power station in Tanzania. The 134 metres (440 ft) arched, concrete dam is expected to create a reservoir lake, 100 kilometres (62 mi), in length, measuring 1,200 square kilometres (460 sq mi), with 34,000,000,000 cubic metres (1.2×1012 cu ft) of water.[2]
In 1901 German Engineer Stiegler led the first expedition to what is now known as Stiegler's Gorge to consider potential infrastructure. Stiegler, when measuring the gorge, was charged by an elephant and fell into the ravine.[4] It was named after him in his memory. Plans for a dam were developed during British rule of Tanganyika. Alexander Telford[5] conducted the first systematic development surveys of the Rufiji in 1928-1929, with engineer C. Gilman carrying out further studies in 1938-1940.[6] These studies primarily envisioned irrigation infrastructure with a small dam at Stiegler's Gorge to reduce flooding and protect downstream irrigation infrastructure.
This changed in the 1950s when the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) started studying Rufiji River infrastructure. This included a far larger dam wall of around 100 metres (330 ft) that aimed to transform the valley to an artificial environment, providing water for agriculture. The FAO's report was published in 1961 and envisaged 200,000 hectares (490,000 acres) of irrigation.[6]
Plans turned towards hydropower after Tanganyika's independence in 1961. President Nyerere saw hydropower dams as key deliverers of his ambitious modernisation programme. From the 1969-1974 Second Five-Year Development Plan, this modernisation plan increasingly aimed for industrialisation and therefore needed cheap electricity.[5] This understanding of dams as developmental and of their ability to deliver cheap electricity, drove the Great Ruaha Hydropower Project with involved hydro-plants at Kidatu and Mtera.[7] The Ruaha is an upstream tributary of the Rufiji.
Planning for the Stiegler's Gorge project advanced with three donor organisations. The Japanese External Trade Organization supported feasibility studies in the 1960s that proposed a 620MW plant. At the same time, Nyerere's government engaged US Authorities and in particular the Bureau of Reclamation and Tennessee Valley Authority. This produced studies planning wider transformation of the Rufiji valley, with the dam enabling irrigation, industrialisation, urban water supply and a large fishery in its reservoir.[6][5] The US studies also initiated the creation of the Rufiji Basin Development Authority (RUBADA), whose founding mission was to build the dam and facilitate the wider development of the valley.[5] By the 1970s, the Norwegian NORAD development agency had taken on the Stiegler's Gorge Planning, producing detailed feasibility and construction designs.[6]
However, these plans were never implemented. This is primarily because of the World Bank's decision to reject project finance. In the 1980s, the Bank was the major financier of dams in developing countries and particularly significant in Tanzania, which was enduring an economic crisis at the time.[8] The World Bank questioned the need for Stiegler's Gorge, given their calculation of limited growth in electricity demand[6][9] . There were also growing environmental concerns around the project, prompting the first Environmental Impact Assessment in Tanzania.[6][10] These concerns were magnified by the designation of the Selous Game Reserve, in which the gorge sits, as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1982. The World Bank and other international donors consequently turned to the smaller and less-impactful Kidatu and Pangani Falls Dams in the 1990s.[11]
However, Kikwete's government resurrected plans for the dam in 2006. This came with the country's emergence from economic crises in the 1980s and 1990s to a period of sustained economic growth.[8] The resurrection of the project also reacted to a severe power crises in Tanzania from 2004-2006 that saw widespread load shedding.[12] Maximising the fiscal advantage of the country's increasing economy, early speeches by government ministers in 2006 indicated that the Stiegler's Dam would be a priority. The Minister of Energy and Minerals also confirmed the dam's status in the 2009 Power Sector Master Plan. The decision gave renewed purpose to Rubada, the agency tasked with implementing the dam, who started actively lobbying for the project and meeting companies.[13]
A series of companies expressed interest in developing the project. Under Kikwete's government, and like other energy sector projects, the dam was supposed to be developed by the private sector. This involved unsolicited bids by private companies for agreements with the government to build the project. The companies would then use these deals, such as power purchase agreements, to raise finance and start construction. The first such bid was made by IDF (Infrastructure Development Finance Ltd) of South Africa and Energen of Canada in 2006-2008.[14] Sinohydro also reportedly placed a bid around 2008.[13]
However, the main engagement came from Brazil. After meetings between Brazilian diplomats and Tanzanian ministers, including the visit of Brazilian President Lula to Tanzania in 2010, both governments agreed to support Stiegler's Gorge Dam's construction.[13] A number of exchanges between the two countries happened between 2009-2012. This supported the Brazilian company Odebrecht. They signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Rubada in 2012 to build the dam. Odebrecht also undertook feasibility and design studies and commissioned an environmental impact report.[15] However, Tanzanian interest in the dam appeared to stall by 2014, delaying any implementation.
This changed when President Magufuli came to power in 2015. In 2017, he announced that the Stiegler's Gorge Dam would be a flagship development project of his government and would be financed by the government rather than developed by the private sector.[16] A first round of bidding for the construction tenders was held in the autumn of 2017. This was unsuccessful, initiating a second round in spring 2018. Arab Contractors and Elsewedy, both Egyptian firms, won the bid. Magufuli has been vocal in denouncing any critics of the dam[17] and his interior minister threatened that opponents would be jailed in a public speech.[18]
The power station would be located across the Rufiji River, in the Stiegler's Gorge, in the Selous Game Reserve, Pwani (Coast) Region, approximately 220 kilometres (137 mi), by road, southwest of Dar es Salaam, the commercial capital and largest city of Tanzania.[19]
This power station is located in Selous Game Reserve, one of the world's largest World Heritage sites, measuring 45,000 square kilometres (17,000 sq mi). The power station and reservoir lake are planned to occupy approximately 1,350 square kilometres (520 sq mi), within the game reserve.[2]
In August 2017, the Tanzanian government advertised for bids to construct this dam. The selected contractor is expected to complete the dam in no more than 36 months.[20][21] The power generated will be evacuated via a new 400kV high voltage power line to a substantiation where the power will be integrated into the national electricity grid.[3] The government of Ethiopia is advising the Tanzanian government on the implementation of this project.[22]
In December 2018, The Citizen (Tanzania) newspaper reported that the government of Tanzania had awarded the construction contract for this power project to Arab Contractors Limited of Egypt, at a budgeted cost of US$2.9 billion (TSh6.558 trillion).[23]
Shortly before this, the World Heritage Committee reiterated its grave concern about Tanzania's decision to move forward on the project and added it to the grounds for the Selous Game Reserve to be on the List of World Heritage in Danger, which was previously concerned with elephant poaching.[24]
In February 2019, the government of Tanzania handed over the construction site to the consortium comprising Arab Contractors and El Sewedy, both of Egypt, who had been selected to build the power station. Allowing six months to mobilize equipment, actual construction is expected to start in the 3rd quarter of calendar year 2019.[25] In April 2019, the Tanzanian government made an upfront payment of US$309.645 million, representing approximately 15 percent total cost of construction.[26][27]
Latest design and the Start of Construction[edit]
In July 2019, the EastAfrican newspaper, quoting British Broadcasting Corporation, reported that construction of the power station had begun. The dam will be fourth largest in Africa and ninth largest in the world.[1]
In 2018, a new design for Stiegler's Gorge Dam was unveiled.[28] A 131m high and 700m wide dam wall is under construction. The hydropower plant is planned to have an installed capacity of 2,115 megawatts.[29] If completed on time in 2022, this would be Africa's largest dam by installed capacity, over Egypt's Aswan High Dam (2100 megawatts) Mozambique's Cahora Bassa Dam (2075 megawatts) and Angola's Luaca Dam (2069 megawatts).[30][28]
At 2,115 megawatts, the dam's contribution is more than the current peak demand of Tanzania. The country's highest recorded power demand was 1051.27 megawatts in February 2017. Installed capacity has been reported to be between 1366.60 megawatts[31] and 1,602 megawatts.[32] The Stiegler's Gorge Hydropower Project will therefore significantly increase the installed capacity on-grid in Tanzania, supporting power for industrialisation and electrification.
A key rationale for new electricity generation are Tanzania's regular electricity crises. The majority of Tanzania's power shortfalls occur in the dry season and in below-average rainfall years, this causes electricity shortages which are socially and economically damaging. For instance, load shedding between 2014-2015 supposedly cost between 5-7% of Tanzania's GDP.[33]
In preparation for the start of construction, Magufuli ordered Tanesco to prepare the site.[28][16] Contracts were awarded to clear the construction area, prepare a road for large vehicles and provide power and water[34][35][36] . The government also handed out rights to log the large reservoir area, which could bring in significant revenue.[37][38]
The contracts to build the dam were given to two Egyptian firms after diplomatic negotiations between Tanzania's President Magufuli and Egypt's President Sisi[39][40] . El-Mokawloon El-Arab, a military-owned Egyptian firm will undertake the civils works while El Sewedy will install the electro-mechanical equipment including the turbines, generators and transmission lines[30][41][42] . They signed contracts with the state-owned energy utility company TANESCO. The government has publicly stated that the dam will be financed by Tanzania's national budget, yet no funding package was announced and the World Bank and other financiers rejecting support for the dam.[28][30] Elsewedy have secured a loan of $500 million from the African Export-Import Bank,[43] with guarantees from the United Bank for Africa and CRDB Bank, which they plan to repay through the project contract. After the allocation of a portion of the national budget for the project in 2018, in February 2019, the government will officially hand over to the contractors.[44][45][32][34]
Construction Risks[edit]
The Stiegler's Gorge Dam's financial costs are contested. When Odebrecht rewrote feasibility and design studies for the dam in 2013, they estimated that it would cost £3.6 billion.[46] The government used this figure in announcing the new design and feasibility study in 2018. However, Hartmann[47] claims the underlying costs have changed, in the price of concrete and construction costs and in engineering services. Using contemporary dam cases, he suggests that, after excluding socio-environmental mitigation, the current cost estimation should be US$7.57billion, rising to US$9.8billion if a conservative amount of overrun is factored in.[48][49]
Tanzania has not announced any funding agreements for the dam's construction. Given the country's economy and tax base, there are doubts about whether the government has sufficient revenue to build the dam.[28] These are particularly relevant given specific outstanding debt issues with the electricity utility, who has signed the contracts for the Stiegler's Gorge Dam's construction[50][51][52] . This financial situation could delay or stop payments to the contractors which would harm or derail construction.
Additional risks come from the choice of the two contractors. According to their public profiles, Dye claims that neither company has had experience of dam construction, and rather primarily builds commercial and residential buildings and transmission lines.
This is deeply surprising given both companies inexperience. Arab Contractors reportedly worked on Aswan Dam in the 1960s, but would only have been one of many sub-contractors on the Russian-led project. A review of their website reveals that the company has been involved in the construction of buildings over the last decade, not on any large hydraulic or power-generation projects. Meanwhile Elsewedy appears mainly to have built transmission lines, not complex electro-mechanical systems.[30]
This lack of experience is notable given the size of Stiegler's Gorge Dam and the degree of hydrological flux in the Rufiji River. There has not been a supervising, 'owner's engineer' appointed to ensure the quality of construction.
This contracting arrangement and the appointed companies entail important risks. Some of these are technical, concerning the construction of a project that stands up and functions (producing electricity) for the intended 50 years. This will depend on the accuracy and rigour of hydrology, sediment, climatic and hydropower studies and the engineers' ability to accurately implement complex designs.[28] There would also be a project management issue in undertaking infrastructure on this scale with recruitment estimated at 4000[46] plus personnel and a number of sub-contractors.[30] Neither company appears to have experience of management on this scale. In its most extreme sense, this raises questions about dam safety, both in the construction phases and in the end product. A number of dam collapses such as the St. Francis Dam (USA) or Malpasset Dam (France) stemmed from poor studies and insufficient engineering standards.
Another risk concerns environmental and social impacts. Given inexperience, the companies are unlikely to be familiar with mitigation codes of practice that could limit impacts, e.g. stopping dumping of soil in the river or in handling waste. There are also concerns over dam safety for workers, given the long history of accidents on dam projects before extra industry efforts in the 21st century.[53][54][55]
There are also significant concerns over poaching which has been a longstanding issue in the Selous Game Reserve.[56] Poaching was the primary reason for placing the UNESCO World Heritage Selous Game Reserve on a list of endangered sites.[57] The increased presence of people and steady flow of construction traffic, as well as logging camps, provides substantive opportunities for poaching and smuggling, especially if the companies do not have knowhow to enforce anti-poaching measures.[58] Thus, the choice of the contractors magnify the pre-existing risks of undertaking the Stiegler's Gorge project.
Risks to operation[edit]
There are a number of risks to the effective functioning of the Stiegler's Gorge Hydropower Project, if it is completed. One of these comes from climate change. It is unclear if the total rainfall in Tanzania will increase or decrease, but studies suggest that precipitation's variability will increase.[59][60] This is important as it will affect hydropower production, decreasing the dam's electricity-generation reliability. This is particularly important in the context of hydro-dependency. Tanzania gets the majority of its electricity from hydropower. A failure in these dams in the dry season is the key reason for the country's power failures, which happen frequently.[61][62][60] This vulnerability will increase if the Stiegler's Gorge Dam is completed. If brought online today, a failure of the Stiegler's Gorge Hydropower Plant would reduce power production by 58.3%.
The other risk comes from sedimentation. A report[13] highlighted the vulnerability of the reservoir to rapid sedimentation. This is because of the existing sediment load in the Rufiji River and the high levels of erosion likely to occur around the reservoir. Higher sedimentation would decrease the reservoir's capacity to store water. Such a reduction would reduce the reliability of the reservoir, as it would make it more directly dependent on precipitation.
Another fiscal danger comes from the ability of Tanzania's electricity utility, TANESCO, to sell the hydro-plant's energy. Given Tanzania's current peak capacity of around 1.05GW and installed capacity of 1.5GW, there are persistent doubts about whether Tanzania can sell the dam's energy. A number of reports cast doubt on the ability of the Tanzanian economy and electrification schemes to absorb the dam's demand.[13][63] Without such sales, the government will not easily recoup their investment. These reports also suggest that selling to the regional grid, to neighbouring countries through the Southern and Eastern African Power Pools, is unlikely to work given that both trading schemes are insufficiently institutionalised. There also appears to be a high level of distrust between countries when it comes to relying on others for power.
Negative Impacts[edit]
Academics and consultants have established the Stiegler's Gorge Dam's impacts. They have argued that the significant level of environmental and social effects constitute an important trade-off in pursuing Stiegler's Gorge Dam.[63][13][5][6]
Environmental impacts[edit]
The key controversy of the proposed Stiegler's Gorge project concerns its environmental impacts. An obvious concern is the location of the gorge in the middle of the Selous Game Reserve World Heritage Site. Firstly, the dam will flood over 2.2% of the reserve's total area, roughly equivalent to the size of Andorra, reducing its forest and riverine habitat.[64][65]
Additionally, the dam project would be directly above the main area of biodiversity in the reserve. This consists of a large wetland, marsh and savanna area. The Rufiji River plays a central role in creating this environment.[13][56] In the wet season, this river has a particularly strong hydrological surge. This force of water during the wet season changes the Rufiji River's path, creating a shifting pattern of oxbow lakes, dried river channels and wetland. Collectively this creates a rich habitat contrasting with surrounding dry savannah.[66]
The Rufiji River has a strong seasonal variation. In the wet season, it floods a large area of land, irrigating the soil and spreading nutrient sediments. The wet season also refills and connects lakes in the Selous Reserve.
Building a dam will change this seasonal river pattern and withhold sediment. It will create a more constant hydrological discharge, reducing the wet season flood. This will undermine the ecological irrigating and fertilising services of the river. The Stiegler's Gorge Dam will therefore harm the wetland areas of the Selous and the wide variety of mammal and bird life that use it, including numerous waders, storks and herons as well as hippo and crocodiles. Large, land-based mammals from elephants to lions also benefit from the presence of the water, particularly in the dry season.
The Selous contains a number of endangered species, including white and black rhinoceros, lion, cheetah, Sanje crested Mangaby, wetland crane, lesser kestrel, Udzungwa red colobus monkey, Udzungwa forest partridge and rufous-winged partridge. Impact assessments indicate these could be affected by a future project.[67][64][13][65][68]
The dam will mean that downstream oxbow lakes are cut-off, become more saline from evaporation and will reduce in size.[6] Cutting-off the lakes will also prevent the regeneration of fish stocks, particularly migratory fish. A study by Duvail et al. found that these negative impacts would occur even with a mitigating flood release of 2,500cms.[69] For instance, this proposed water release would end at least two of the downstream lakes.
Below the Selous Game Reserve is the Rufiji River Delta. This delta area, including Mafia Island, is protected by the highest international level of wetland protection, called the Ramsar Convention. The ecology of this area also depends on the river's seasonal nature.[13][70] The wet season's river-water surge counteracts the saline sea, maintaining a balance of salinity in the delta that underpins its current plant and animal mix. This salinity balance supports the largest mangrove stand in East Africa.[71]
The river's wet season surge, because it brings a large volume of fertile sediments, also supports an algal bloom in the ocean delta. This bloom spawns a rapid annual explosion in plankton, which in-turn supports a rapid increase in fish. Migratory whale sharks and other animals also visit the delta area in the wet season to specifically take advantage of this bloom.
By altering the river's flow and withholding sediment, the dam will therefore damage the UNESCO Selous Site, downstream lakes and the Ramsar-protected delta area.
Social Impacts on Livelihoods[edit]
Impacts on the environment will have important socio-economic effects. The river's annual irrigating and fertilising flood creates a rich area of farmland below the park. Typically, this supports recession agriculture that takes place in the dry season. Indeed, the Rufiji valley contains some of Tanzania's richest farmland, including extensive paddy fields. People living in the valley also utilise lakes which are replenished by annual floods. These lakes provide a source for irrigation and a useful fish stock. Therefore, a change caused by the dam will negatively impact people's livelihoods downstream.[68]
Another key impact is on fishing in the Rufiji River delta. This area is Tanzania's economically-richest fishery, centred on prawns. Prawns and other fish numbers are underpinned by the river's wet season pulse.[64] Building the Stiegler's Gorge Dam will therefore harm fisheries around the Rufiji delta.[5]
Another direct impact of the dam will be on tourism. This will be twofold. The main photo-tourist area of the Selous is the part of the reserve immediately below the gorge. The remainder of the park is for hunting tourism and will be negatively affected by construction. The building of the dam will bring a visual impact on this area because of the improved roads and large number of vehicles transporting materials to the dam.[72] The hydropower plant will also require transmission lines.[67] The Beho Beho Hills will visually shield the dam itself. Regardless, the short and long-term negative impacts on the wildlife of the park will undermine the reason for hunting and photo tourism.[29]
Particularly large Rufiji floods can significantly damage the communities living along the Rufiji River.[64] This happened in 1968 for instance when floods destroyed crops, houses and infrastructure. However, research demonstrates that many people living in the valley value such large floods, seeing them as a blessing in the longer term, not a plague.[65][6] This is because of a perception of the floods as agriculturally important. Floodwater spreads more sediment creating rich agricultural conditions in for the following years.[6][6][65]

Milling of Rice During the milling stage the rice moves through a multifaceted process. When rice arrives at the mill, it is ushered through a series of sorting machines, separating the kernels, encased in an inedible hull or husk, from any debris. The rough rice passes through "sheller" machines that remove the hull. What remains is brown rice, with the bran layers still surrounding the kernel.
