Delivering the financing needed to progressively realize the right to education
There is an obligation on states and the international community to mobilize the maximum of available resources for the progressive realization of the right to education. But in most parts of the world, public education systems have been chronically underfunded for decades, in particular owing to the IMF’s coercive policy advice on austerity. This has exacerbated inequalities and created space for different forms of privatization - as a growing n…
Village Patterns and the Emergence of Ranked Society in the Prince Rupert Area
Collective Critical Reflections on Using a Human Rights-Based Approach in ActionAid
ActionAid first made a commitment to move to a human rights-based approach (HRBA) to development in 1998, through its strategy ‘Fighting Poverty Together’—and this has been reinforced in subsequent strategies, ‘Rights to End Poverty’ in 2005 and ‘People’s Action to End Poverty’ 2011. (A policy and practice note that tracked the participatory process used in developing the 2011 strategy was published in the November 2011 issue of the Journal of Hu…
The role of small villages in Northern Tsimshian territory from oral and archaeological records
Small villages have been central to progressive models of hunter-gatherer-fisher complexity on the Northwest Coast as a stage in the narrative of increasingly nonegalitarian social relations. We argue that Tsimshian settlement history is more complicated. We examine settlement and chronological data for 66 village sites in the Tsimshian area, 22 of which we define as small. Small villages were present in the area as early as 6500 years ago, but t…
Genomic evidence for the Pleistocene and recent population history of Native Americans
Genetic history of Native Americans Several theories have been put forth as to the origin and timing of when Native American ancestors entered the Americas. To clarify this controversy, Raghavan et al. examined the genomic variation among ancient and modern individuals from Asia and the Americas. There is no evidence for multiple waves of entry or recurrent gene flow with Asians in northern populations. The earliest migrations occurred no earlier…
Assessment of Runoff Sensitivity in the Upper Indus Basin to Interannual Climate Variability and Potential Change Using Modis Satellite Data Products
The Upper Indus Basin (UIB) covers an area of more than 200,000 km2 and has an elevation range from below 1000 to over 8000 m above sea level. Its water resources underpin Pakistan's food security and energy supply. Vertical and horizontal variations in key climate variables govern the runoff contributions of the UIB's various elevation zones and subcatchments. Remote sensing climatic data products from NASA's Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrom…
The evolution of NGO-government relations in education
This short contribution provides a brief history, touching on some of the key trends and turning points in ActionAid's education work, and it documents the evolution of the relationship between ActionAid and governments. The story of ActionAid is illustrative in many ways of wider changes in the NGO sector since the early 1970s
Atmospheric Lifetime of Fossil Fuel Carbon Dioxide
CO 2 released from combustion of fossil fuels equilibrates among the various carbon reservoirs of the atmosphere, the ocean, and the terrestrial biosphere on timescales of a few centuries. However, a sizeable fraction of the CO 2 remains in the atmosphere, awaiting a return to the solid earth by much slower weathering processes and deposition of CaCO 3 . Common measures of the atmospheric lifetime of CO 2 , including the e-folding time scale, dis…
Gas hydrates
Climate change is projected to negatively impact biophysical agricultural productivity in much of the world. Actions taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate future climate changes, are thus of central importance for agricultural production. Climate impacts are, however, not unidirectional; some crops in some regions (primarily higher latitudes) are projected to benefit, particularly if increased atmospheric carbon dioxide is assumed…

Challenging interpretation to discover more inclusive models
Participation in higher risk outdoor adventure activities has increased significantly in recent years and this trend is expected to continue in the foreseeable future. It is suggested in this paper that the general focus of much current interpretive practice excludes those elements central to the outdoor adventure experience, namely, risk, the experience of nature in its rawest form, and the ability to interact with nature with no imposed values.…
Ordnance Survey
This illustrated history gives an account of the early pioneering surveys of the British Isles and traces developments made both in surveying and in map production - from measurement with glass rods and steel chains to positioning by satellite, and from copper engraving and hand-colouring to digital mapping and laser printing. Ordnance Survey was founded in 1791 under the military board of ordnance to provide mapping of south-east England in read…

The Upper Marine Limit in the Little Whale River Area, New Quebec
The relatively high land in places near the east coast of Hudson Bay in this area enables a more accurate estimate of direction and tilt of the upper marine limit plane to be made and thus to throw light on the emergence of this area after the last glaciation. The lower limit of perched boulders was used to indicate the height of the marine limit, for they represent the limit of wave action, whereas evidence given by the highest marine shells was…
