The conventional wisdom of the sixties and early seventies held that, except in the very long run, rapid development and human rights are competing concerns. Needs satisfaction, income equality, and civil and political rights were regularly held to be luxury goods. An examination of the development experiences of Brazil and South Korea, however, shows much of this conventional wisdom to have been mistaken. Rapid growth and development can be achieved without sacrificing social and economic equity. Furthermore, theoretical considerations suggest that even civil and political rights are more compatible with sustained rapid development than is frequently recognized.

In Australia, breeding of the cosmopolitan leatherback turtle, Dermochelys coriacea, is concentrated on
22.3 km of beach near Wreck Rock (24�19'S., 151�58'E.) in south-east Queensland. Up to three females
nest there in most years. The mean size of 14 clutches was 82.79; the mean hatching success was 15.3%
for clutches on the beach and 51.8% for these moved to dunes near the laboratory. The high level of
failure is attributed to early embryonic death, probably caused by the fine sand, when damp, restricting
gas exchange round the eggs.

A follow-up study of cataract patients advised to have surgery was conducted in five villages near Madurai, South India. Interviews conducted with 82 individuals provided information on treatment undertaken after surgical recommendations were made, as well as demographic and attitudinal variables. Of those advised to have surgery, 14.6% had the operation. Of those not having surgery, 81.8% said they wanted it, but cited both economc and social barriers to its use. To increase acceptance of surgery, eye health programs must consider both financial and social factors regarding the cataract patient and his family.

The rationalization process in the Civil Service has established so many plan­ning functions in the restructured Office of the Prime Minister that it can be legitimately asked as to what advantage this has for South Africa.In addition the centralization of plan­ning functions may have created the suspicion that planning on the part of the Government will in the future be autocratic and that other executive in­stitutions will become passive participants in the planning process. In this article an attempt is made to allay and clarify any suspicions "in this re­gard and to convince the reader of the need for planning.*This article is written in Afrikaans.

SummaryConsanguinity is studied in a large sample of marriages among Dhangars of Maharashtra, India. The 22 endogamous castes included in the study show great variation in incidence, about an overall frequency of 26.4%. Matrilateral first cross-cousin unions are more frequency than patrilateral, and maternal uncle-niece nuions least frequent. Geograbhical differences are conspicuous, and all three types of consanguineous union show characteristic patterns; matrilateral unions increase in frequncy northwards, patrilateral and uncle-niece decrease northwards. The inbreeding levels among the Dhangars are high compared to other Maharashtrian groups, but substantially lower than in southern Dravidian speaking groups.

Hyper‐urbanization has been used in South Vietnam (1960‐74) as a strategic weapon to dominate and enslave the country. Since liberation in April 1975, the government has undertaken gradual but large‐scale de‐urbanization to create favourable conditions for development based on a policy of regional industrialization in support of agriculture. The experience of North Vietnam (1954‐75) has proved that it is possible to speed up industrialization and modernization in a poor country without precipitating an exodus from the countryside or huge urban concentrations. However, this policy of decentralized development has its own contradictions.

4) Even though, unlike the Toraja, the Bugis are Muslims, they have conserved a certain number of preislamic traditional institutions. The bissu, which Gilbert Hamonic (Paris V University) describes, are without doubt the most remarkable. They are specialists in princely ritual, in charge of the regalia and other matters. One of their principle characteristics is that the male bissu wear femme clothing. The author attempts to define the meaning of this transvesting and to clarify the connection that may exist between the bissu and genuine transvetites (calabai) who, in Southern Celebes, moreover enjoy a completely open public status.

On December 13, 1863, Ingraham P. Smith writes to his Sister about his trip to see John Kirchen. Smith then talks about rumors of Vice President A. Stephens coming to Fort Monroe under a flag of truce, but he would only be received as a citizen of the South. He further writes that Jefferson Davis is being arraigned by the Rebel Senate. He replies to his mother regarding the box of food she sent him. He also mentions a Russian fleet that is visiting. Posted from Camp Convalescent, Alexandria, Va.

"This paper examines the problems of the single currency in light of the organization of labour relations in the member-states and their interaction with monetary policies. Continental (western) Europe consists of two very different systems of employment and labour relations, roughly coinciding with 'coordinated market economies' (CME) in the north-west of the continent, and 'Mixed Market Economies' in the south. These differences in employment relations and wage-setting systems implied that, against the background of a relatively restrictive one-size-fits-all monetary policy in place since 1999, the north-west of the continent systematically improved its competitiveness, while the south lost competitiveness in parallel. Small differences between the two groups of countries at the start of EMU thus were accentuated and, against the background of low growth and an almost closed E(M)U economy, the northern CMEs accumulated current account surpluses while the GIIPS ran into severe balance of payments problems in 2010 and 2011. The sovereign debt crises of 2010-11, which threatened the survival of the Euro-zone itself in November and December 2011, simply reflected these structural imbalances: current account deficits are financed through debt, private and public. The problem with EMU, in other words, is one of current accounts, not fiscal deficits. The paper reconstructs the construction and emergence of this system through an examination of the development of wage-setting systems against the background of monetary integration in Europe since the second oil shock."

Education is a priority of all the government of the Globe. Strengthening the quality of education has become a universal agenda at all the educational levels and more so at primary level.
