This chapter provides a synthetic discussion of the results of extensive survey work throughout the Northern and Southern Sectors of the Free Zone of Western Sahara. Extensive survey work was ...conducted over five short field seasons, each of two to three weeks duration, in 2002, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2009. These field seasons combined archaeological reconnaissance and survey with environmental reconnaissance and sampling. The archaeological elements of the extensive survey work have consisted of opportunistic recording of features of interest, and detailed surveys of small sample areas, focusing on stone features. The extensive survey work focused on the recording of
ISAs are more searching than the old standards, the UK Statements on Auditing Standards, or ASs. The procedures required of the auditor and the documentation are more detailed than ...before,irrespective of the size of the audited organisation. ISAs will have the positive effect of promoting high-quality audits, but charity trustees and staff will need to spend more time with auditors to explain policies and procedures.
Things are not quite how they appear.When theTreasury 's press release is read closely, the generous concession that "HM Revenue & Customs will remove the requirement on charities to write to each ...individual donor to confirm that Gift Aid can be claimed following their telephone donation" is qualified, if not altogether reversed, in a subsidiary note.

Book Chapter
Between 2002 and 2009, environmental survey work was conducted alongside archaeological reconnaissance and extensive survey (Chapter 4), in five seasons covering large parts of the Northern and ...Southern Sectors of the Free Zone of Western Sahara. The purpose of the environmental survey work was to identify, describe and sample features in the landscape that provide information about past climatic and environmental conditions. These palaeoenvironmental indicators typically consist of deposits formed by the presence of surface or groundwater, but also include organic materials such as humic deposits in caves and rock shelters and freshwater mollusc shells in now dry lakes. Sampling
The Inland Revenue appears to be starting from the assumption that heritage and conservation charities are exploiting some form of tax avoidance scheme. Bearing in mind the government's desire and ...considerable financial investment to encourage new donations, it seems quite disingenuous to try and stop a genuine method of increasing charitable income.

Journal Article
Climate change poses a challenge to the dominant development paradigm with its concepts of modernisation, economic growth and globalisation which treat the environment as an externality and largely ...ignore climate variability. This article explores the extent of the challenge, drawing on archaeological evidence showing that adaptation to severe climate change can involve much more radical changes in human societies than are currently envisaged. Furthermore, short-term adaptation can result in long-term maladaptation, increasing vulnerability to climate shocks. The article argues that development urgently needs to shift its focus away from prevailing growth and yield-maximisation models towards alternatives encouraging resilience and risk-spreading.

8 Reporting The Objectives and activities' section of the trustees' report should include information about objects, aims, objectives and the strategies and activities undertaken to meet them. In the ...'achievements and performance' section there should be a summary of the results of the activities and of supporting evidence. Information about influencing factors should also be reported in this section.
Prof Singer asks us to forget about tundra and wildlife, but admits that Arctic sea ice has thinned. It has thinned considerably, from an average of 3.1m to 1.8m since the late 1950s, according to ...recently published results by US researchers. It has also shrunk in extent. He does not state which measurements he refers to when he claims the Arctic has not warmed, and one can only conclude that he is being highly selective with his use of data; temperature measurements from many Arctic regions do indicate a warming. As for his dismissal of concerns about the Antarctic, recent results give us more, not less, cause for concern about the stability of the west Antarctic ice sheet. Warming oceans around Antarctica increase the possibility that ice anchored on submerged continental shelves will melt, causing ice sheets to slip into the sea. Unlike floating sea ice such as is found in the Arctic, the melting of these ice sheets would raise sea level.
