title: The Origin of overland flow in Otutaru Catchment

authors: Pittams, Richard John

abstract: Data collected from 14 runoff plots and Otutaru catchment indicate that there is a very close relationship between runoff measured at the plots, and rates and volumes recorded at the outlet from Otutaru catchment. This ' relationship is dependent principally on rainfall intensity and is influenced by soil moisture conditions before and during a storm.
The influence of aspect, storm direction and wind speed are analysed and it is deduced that they are minor influences on runoff. It is concluded that overland flow is generated throughout Otutaru catchment when rain of sufficient intensity occurs. Initially the bulk of this flow is lost by infiltration in the valley bottom but after rain of a certain volume or sufficient intensity has fallen the whole catchment appears to contribute to Otutaru runoff. The slopes produce relatively greater flow, but all areas contribute significantly to catchment runoff.

title: Qumran Textiles in the Palestine Exploration Fund, London: Radiocarbon Dating Results

authors: Taylor, Joan E.

subjects: charitable users, trusts and foundations

abstract: Three pieces of fabric from Qumran's Cave 1 have been stored in the Palestine Exploration Fund collection since the 1960s but have hitherto never been tested or re-examined. The fabric is made of linen, and was probably used for wrapping or packing scrolls, or sealing jars. New radiocarbon dating on one piece of fabric indicated a probability of 55% for it being made between 1 and 55 A.D., and a probability of 95.4% that it was made between 50 cal B.C.–80 cal A.D.

title: A game of slides and ladders: Māori health providers and funders

authors: Masters-Awatere, Bridgette

abstract: Devolution of government responsibility after the neo-liberal reforms of the 1980s, and the re-orientation of health services towards public health in the 1990s, created an opportunity for Māori to take control of their own health outcomes through the delivery of culturally relevant and appropriate services. By 2000 “By Maori, For Maori” service provision had burst forth as the preferred approach with Māori. While grappling with the tendency of government agencies to fund services based on pre-existing health output criteria, Māori service providers were “walking on egg shells” under the constant threat of losing their funding. Currentcontracting does not capture the extent of the work done by Māori providers to serve precariat families. Nor does it adequately acknowledge, validate or value indigenous approaches to health and wellbeing. Instead, narrow, administratively demanding and difficult to interpret contracts threaten the provision of culturally relevant services. This chapter talks about some of the creative and insightful ways Māori service providers manage contrasting cultural and contractual expectations.
