The food waste hierarchy as a framework for the management of food surplus and food waste
Between ‘Bastard’ and ‘Wicked’ leadership? School leadership and the emerging policies of the UK Coalition Government
Barker argues that in England under New Labour, school leaders and teachers have been ‘bastardised’ and suggests that the situation in 2010, with a general election afforded an opportunity in education policy for the ‘pendulum to swing’. In this article, the key points about ‘bastard Leadership’ are briefly summarised. The article then develops a view of schools as sites of complexity and ‘wickedity’ as an alternative to the linear reductionist a…
Reducing the complexity of the flood vulnerability index
The current flood vulnerability index (FVI) methodology developed by the authors uses 71 indicators in its calculation. However, it is recognized that some of these indicators may be redundant or have no influence on the results. This paper presents the results of analysis carried out to select the most significant indicators in order to establish parsimonious usage of the FVI. As with the original methodology, this is applicable at three differe…
Flood vulnerability indices at varying spatial scales
Populations around the world are vulnerable to natural disasters. Such disasters are occurring with increased frequency as a consequence of socio-economic and land-use developments and due to increased climate variability. This paper describes a methodology for using indicators to compute a Flood Vulnerability Index which is aimed at assessing the conditions which influence flood damage at various spatial scales: river basin, sub-catchment and ur…
Resurrecting Old Arguments
The author is grateful for the attention given to his book The Resurrection of the Son of God by the four reviewers. David Bryan is right to highlight the Enoch literature as a more fertile source of resurrection ideas than the book allowed for; but he has overstated his objection. Granted that the stream of thought represented by resurrection is more diverse even than RSG allowed, the book's argument did not hinge on the wide spread of resurrect…

Cooperating in Their Own Deprofessionalisaton? On the Need to Recognise the 'Public' and 'Ecological' Roles of the Teaching Profession

Cooperating in their own Deprofessionalisaton? On the need to recognise the ‘public and ‘ecological’ roles of the Teaching profession
This paper argues that two areas vital to the teaching profession's own development and to the development of its standing in society have been neglected in inservice education and training. The first, an understanding and development of the ‘public’ dimension of teaching, suggests that teachers have duties and concerns which transcend those of professionals in the private sector because the public domain is a necessary focus for the promotion of…
Naughty But Nice
These are the words of the Attorney General of the Isle of Man at a meeting of the Legislative Council of the Manx Government in April 1933 at the first reading of The PostcardCensorship Bill. The Bill sought to give the force of law to a voluntary Censoring Committee set up in 1912 by a group of local tradesmen to stop the selling of postcards of ‘questionable design’.Under the resulting Act every postcard, other than view postcards, were submit…
