This book is published with the generous support of the Government of Hungary, and the organizations Better World and European Heritage Volunteers. With special thanks to all the volunteer organizations, local and international volunteers and local communities who have participated in and supported these projects. 2 Mosi-oa Tunya / Victoria Falls was the first project of the World Heritage Volunteers Initiative to take place in southern Africa, in 2009. All action camp organizations in the region and beyond had responded to the call of the Zambian host to make it a big success. Among participants from Botswana, Kenya, Lesotho, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda and Zimbabwe were two young Malawian volunteers, a woman and a man. Supported and funded by their organization back home, they were there as part of an exchange based on the founding IVS principle of reciprocity, later that summer hosting two volunteers from Zambia at the natural World Heritage Site of Lake Malawi. When I took the picture − CCIVS had just bought its first digital camera − they had arrived after two days of travelling by bus from Blantyre, but their faces showed no sign of tiredness. Standing in front of the falls, where they would work for two weeks to secure the paths and sensitize locals and tourists about the preservation of World Heritage, the young volunteer just opened his arms wide and said ‘I am Patrimonito’. As one of the thousands of World Heritage Volunteers who have taken part in the Initiative since that day, I believe his incredible energy and commitment represent the values and actions that young guardians have implemented abroad and in their own countries every year, to protect our common heritage beyond territories and boundaries.

  • Chronicles of Nature Calendar, a Long-Term and Large-Scale Multitaxon Database on Phenology
    www.nature.com/scientificdata OPEN Chronicles of nature calendar, DATA DESCRIPTOR a long-term and large-scale multitaxon database on phenology Otso Ovaskainen et al.# We present an extensive, large-scale, long-term and multitaxon database on phenological and climatic variation, involving 506,186 observation dates acquired in 471 localities in Russian Federation, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Belarus and Kyrgyzstan. The data cover the period 1890–2018, with 96% of the data being from 1960 onwards. The database is rich in plants, birds and climatic events, but also includes insects, amphibians, reptiles and fungi. The database includes multiple events per species, such as the onset days of leaf unfolding and leaf fall for plants, and the days for frst spring and last autumn occurrences for birds. The data were acquired using standardized methods by permanent staf of national parks and nature reserves (87% of the data) and members of a phenological observation network (13% of the data). The database is valuable for exploring how species respond in their phenology to climate change. Large-scale analyses of spatial variation in phenological response can help to better predict the consequences of species and community responses to climate change. Background & Summary Phenological dynamics have been recognised as one of the most reliable bio-indicators of species responses to ongoing warming conditions1. Together with other adaptive mechanisms (e.g. changes in the spatial distribution and physiological adaptations), phenological change is a key mechanism by which plants and animals adapt to a changing world2,3. Many studies have documented that in the northern hemisphere, spring events have become earlier whereas autumn events are occurring later than before, mostly due to rising temperatures4–6.

This one is in Chellah, or Sala Colonia, a necropolis and complex of ancient Roman Mauretania Tingitana and medieval ruins at the outskirts of Rabat. The Djellaba Even the locals were cold. This man is wearing a djellaba; a Berber traditional long, loose-fitting outer robe with full sleeves. Later on during this trip it got even colder and my layered technique to keep warm was not doing so well. I purchased one of these in heavy wool as an additional outer layer and it worked great. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Page 1 Flying Pig Adventures: Volume 14 - Morocco, Part I - Rabat Copyright 2013, Wally Hampton, All Rights Reserved ~ [email protected] ~ www.WallyHampton.com Rabat cemetary Cimetière As-Shouhada' looking west out into the Atlantic towards North Carolina.

OFFICE IS OPEN FOR YOU BETWEEN 11.00 A.M. TO 5.30 P.M. ON WORKING DAYS . 2 Expeditions to Indian Himalaya in 2005 By HARISH KAPADIA Hon Editor, The Himalayan Journal Overall 46 Foreign and 47 Indian expeditions climbed in the Indian Himalaya during the year. This was overall, a lower figure than the normal number of expeditions during ayear. Amongst the foreign expeditions, more that half climbed the usual peaks like Kun, Kedar Dome, Nun and others. Many of the expeditions faced bad weather in mid September and some had to give up due to poor snow and ice conditions in early October. Amongst the high peaks attempted, Changabang and Kamet, now open for foreigners, and Nanda Devi East were important ascents. The leader of the Italian expedition to Nanda Devi East, Marco Dalla Longa lost his life due to high altitude oedema. The team had carried a satellite phone (supposed to be illegal!), which could have saved his life as a helicopter rescue was arranged. However, as the luck would have it, the helicopter took four days to reach due to bad weather and by that time he had lost his life. His body and the entire team were ultimately evacuated to Munsiary and then Delhi. Many expeditions complained of problems in Uttaranchal State, where the Government has imposed a stiff new climbing fee structure.

    Theocracy Metin M. Coşgel University of Connecticut Thomas J. Miceli University of Connecticut Working Paper 2013-29 November 2013 365 Fairfield Way, Unit 1063 Storrs, CT 06269-1063 Phone: (860) 486-3022 Fax: (860) 486-4463 http://www.econ.uconn.edu/ This working paper is indexed on RePEc, http://repec.org THEOCRACY by Metin Coşgel* and Thomas J. Miceli** Abstract: Throughout history, religious and political authorities have had a mysterious attraction to each other. Rulers have established state religions and adopted laws with religious origins, sometimes even claiming to have divine powers. We propose a political economy approach to theocracy, centered on the legitimizing relationship between religious and political authorities. Making standard assumptions about the motivations of these authorities, we identify the factors favoring the emergence of theocracy, such as the organization of the religion market, monotheism vs. polytheism, and strength of the ruler. We use two sets of data to test the implications of the model. We first use a unique data set that includes information on over three hundred polities that have been observed throughout history. We also use recently available cross-country data on the relationship between religious and political authorities to examine these issues in current societies. The results provide strong empirical support for our arguments about why in some states religious and political authorities have maintained independence, while in others they have integrated into a single entity.
