  The Kaya Forests
Fortunately, the kaya forests and the Mijikenda people are aided by a collaboration of government and nongovernmental agencies, which have recognized the threats to the forests and the importance of protecting them to ensure the future of their cultural and biological treasures.
The kaya forests are the domain of the nine Mijikenda tribes: the Giriama, Digo, Duruma, Rabai, Kauma, Ribe, Jibana, Kambe, and Chonyi.
Kaya elders handle minor offenses by imposing traditional fines, while major offenses are passed on the CFCU to pursue court challenges.

 FIGHTING TO THE BITTER END
The cultural attachment to these Kayas has, therefore, been phenomenal but this is slowly and painfully being eroded by the younger generations who, out of ignorance and lack of exposure, look down upon the cultural traditions as primitive, and are not willing to be associated with them.
The significance of the Kayas was recently demonstrated when elders of Kaya Gandini with the assistance of CFCU and WWF, conducted a ritual to appease the local spirit, Kitsimbakazi, whose apparent anger was demonstrated by the drying up of a pond, nyirinyiri, from which the local community drew water for domestic use.
Although the holding of these functions in all the Kayas has not been as regular as it should be, the main reason in most cases being poverty, WWF and CFCU have been encouraging and sponsoring the communities which reside near the Kayas to undertake the ceremonies.

 The Travels of Kaya: The Last Loran Warrior Story
Kaya thought that today was too ordinary to watch movies on a projector or read a newly checked out book, so she decided to look through old newspapers instead.
Kaya checked out the newspaper and ran as quickly as possible to her little cottage where she would find Ashida, not knowing that the mysterious person in the newspaper was Hogar.
Kaya went on her quest early the next morning packing packaged food, a cooler full of water bottles, maps, money, a jacket, a brush, a hat, hiking boots (which she wore), and a Xeroxed copy of the newspaper article.

 Sensei's Library: Kaya
Kaya (榧) is the type of wood from which the best go boards (as well as shogi boards) are made.
Kaya boards are classified into two types: the preferred masame, with straight grain across the top of the board, and the inferior itame, with irregular or bent grain.
Shin Kaya, another material used for go boards, is not kaya at all, but rather spruce, a pale wood which requires finishing and is less long-lasting than kaya.

Kaya is a compiled statically typed (ie, types are checked at compile time) imperative programming language; unlike other such languages, however, types are inferred rather than declared - there is no need for type declarations of local variables.

Kaya also has built-in abstractions for web application development, making it easy to write a CGI program without paying too much attention to low level details such as state management and form handling.

 Baur and Kaya
Environmental factors that affect nematode persistence are: soil composition, moisture, temperature, and presence of antagonists and competitors (Kaya 1990, Curran 1993).
Mesostigmata and endeostigmata mites, mononchid and dorylaimid nematodes, tardigrades, and collembolans prey on dauers in the laboratory (Kaya and Koppenhofer 1996).
As discussed by Kaya and Koppenhofer (1996), the next step in unraveling the complex interactions between entomopathogenic nematodes and biotic and abiotic factors will be long-term field studies of natural populations such as those carried out at the Bodega Marine Laboratory, California, or those conducted at Rutgers University, New Jersey.

 Kaya [Japan Bonus Track]: Reviews, Discography, Audio Clips, and more ||| Music.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Kaya continues what has become an unspoken tradition in the evolution of Bob Marley and the Wailers discography -- blending western sounds and motifs with the icons and traditions from the very core of Jamaican society.
Kaya could be considered the oasis before the political and personal eruptions that would inform and influence Marley and the Wailers next studio releases Survival and Uprising.
The 2001 "Definitive Remasters" edition of Kaya also includes the non-LP "Smile Jamaica." Although initially issued as the flip side of "Satisfy My Soul," the song was recorded more than a year prior to this album, resulting in a somewhat odd juxtaposition.

 Kaya
Joseph Reginald Topize, 38, known to his community as Kaya, was the pioneer of a style of Mauritian music known as "seggae," a fusion of reggae and sega, the traditional folk music of the island nation.
Newspapers reported that Kaya, who was known as a peaceful community figure, had died as a result of a fractured skull.
While it's unlikely that Kaya ever set out to become a martyr for the cause of decriminalization or a symbol for the societal marginalization of Mauritian Creoles, his death has unquestionably ushered in a new period of self-reflection for the 31-year-old island nation.
