2-(2-Nitroanilino)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4H-cyclohepta[b]thiophene-3-carbonitrile
The title compound, C16H15N3O2S, was synthesized by the reaction of 2-amino-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4H-cyclohepta[b]thiophene-3-carbonitrile and o-fluoronitrobenzene. The thiophene and nitrophenyl rings and amino and carbonitrile groups are coplanar with a maximum deviation of 0.046 (2) Å and a dihedral angle of 0.92 (6)° between the rings. The cyclohepta ring adopts a chair conformation. Intramolecular N—H⋯O and C—H⋯S interactions occur. In the crystal, the molecules form layers that are linked by π–π stacking interactions between the thiophene and benzene rings [centroid–centroid distances = 3.7089 (12) and 3.6170 (12) Å]
1,3-Dimethylbenzo[b]dibenzothiophene
The molecule of the title compound, C18H14S, is approximately planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.029 Å). The crystal packing is stabilized by weak intermolecular C—H⋯π interactions

2-Amino-N-[3-(2-chlorobenzoyl)-5-ethylthiophen-2-yl]acetamide
In the title compound, C15H15ClN2O2S, the 2-aminoacetamide N—C(=O)—C—N unit is approximately planar, with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.020 (4) Å. The central thiophene ring makes dihedral angles of 7.84 (11) and 88.11 (11)°, respectively, with the 2-aminoacetamide unit and the 2-chlorophenyl ring. An intramolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond generates an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal, molecules are linked by an N—H⋯O hydrogen bond and weak C—H⋯O interactions into a chain along the c axis. A C—H⋯π interaction is also present

Historical perspectives on pastoralism and land tenure transformation in Ngamiland, Botswana: What are the policy and institutional lessons?
Pastoral societies in dryland Africa continue to face changes to their pastoral systems. These systems are influenced by a range of historical factors but little use is made of this information to design policies that suit pastoralists’ landscapes. This article provides a synthesis of historical perspectives on pastoral land use and tenure transformations in Ngamiland, south of the Okavango Delta, Botswana. Little documentation of herders’ historical perspectives exists and less is known about how past experiences can be applied to sustainable pastoralism policies. In this article, current land use pressing issues are examined and analysed within the context of past experiences. We use a series of oral histories with key informants, focus group discussions, expert interviews and rangelands field observations. Ngamiland historical perspectives depict a pastoral landscape that has been shaped by a variety of factors; livestock diseases, Human-wildlife-conflicts, droughts, land tenure transformations associated with rangeland policies and the pastoral identity of the Ovaherero/Ovambanderu ethnic groups. Pastoralists have followed unique trajectories, specific to their rangeland conditions and socio-cultural context. Resilience to climate shocks and diseases has been weakened by inequitable patterns of control over rangeland resources. We recommend institutional diversity such that from experiences of the past, lessons can be drawn of the sort of processes and institutions required for pastoralism policies including targeted pastoralists’ adaptations. Using pastoralists to provide information, especially in the area of indigenous knowledge, strategies can be developed to link conservation of wildlife and rangelands with pastoral production by developing ecologically-sensitive low-volume tourism that pastoral communities can tap in to diversify their livelihoods
Archive of Darkness:William Kentridge's Black Box/Chambre Noire
Situating itself in histories of cinema and installation art, William Kentridge's Black Box/Chambre Noire (2005) raises questions about screens, exhibition space, site-specificity and spectatorship. Through his timely intervention in a debate on Germany’s colonial past, Kentridge’s postcolonial art has contributed to the recognition and remembrance of a forgotten, colonial genocide. This article argues that, by transposing his signature technique of drawings for projection onto a new set of media, Kentridge explores how and what we can know through cinematic projection in the white cube. In particular, his metaphor of the illuminated shadow enables him to animate archival fragments as shadows and silhouettes. By creating a multi-directional archive, Black Box enables an affective engagement with the spectres of colonialism and provides a forum for the calibration of moral questions around reparation, reconciliation and forgiveness
