The ability to identify distinct types of cherts and chalcedonies at the large prehistoric housepit site of Keatley Creek on the British Columbia plateau has made it possible to infer important aspects of socioeconomic organization from ca. 2400 to 1100 B.P. Each large housepit tested at the site appears to have a distinctive and characteristic composition of chert and chalcedony debitage which remains coherent over time (for at least 1,000 years). Three inferences concerning socioeconomic organization are derived from these observations: (1) residents of each large housepit probably foraged in distinctly different ranges during nonwinter months where they procured their raw stone materials; (2) residents of each large pithouse formed “residential corporate groups” that differed in their access to stone resources; and (3) the “residential corporate groups” that occupied large pithouses retained economic rights, corporate identity, and ownership of specific pithouse premises for unusually long time periods spanning more than a millennium. Differences between lithic assemblages of housepits were confirmed by three separate and independent analyses employing successively more sophisticated techniques.

This article is about the suicide of the chief of police of a small Canadian town, which - according to some - did not actually happen. While employed as a researcher and writer with a museum in Port Moody, British Columbia, the author heard this story as one of many told by the ‘old-timers’ who assisted with the writing of a history book. The controversy over the potential suicide provided the means by which this article reflects on issues of ethics, advocacy, and performance when doing public history. The main request of the old-timers was to ‘put the good stories in’ when writing the book. This expectation caused tension between the author and the museum, reflecting the divide between doing ‘history’ and ‘heritage’. This article draws on Anthropological theories of ‘complicity’ and performance in storytelling to make sense of the author’s role within the context of a museum working to record the stories of long-time residents. The stories of the old-timers were filtered through the lens of early 20th century ideas about gender, race, and class, and affected by a lingering frontier mentality. As such, they wished to see their town’s history told in a very specific way. The story of the police chief’s suicide betrayed this intent, allowing for an analysis of how these expectations can affect the way in which public history is done.

Gallicanism - the name given to the general theory that the Church, especially the Church in France, is free from the jurisdiction of the pope, while remaining Roman and Catholic - is familiar to most historians. The existence of such a thing as Anglo-Gallicanism, on the other hand, seems scarcely credible. Post-Reformation English Catholics present the image of a persecuted and retiring group of people, who, in order to preserve their corporate identity, became more Italianate in their culture than the Italians and in their theology more papalist than the popes; and of the majority of English Catholics this was true. But throughout their history there runs a thin red line of dissent, which passes from the Appellant priests in the late sixteenth century, via Blackloism in the seventeenth, to Charles Butler, Joseph Berington and the Catholic Committee at the dawn of emancipation. Gallicanism, and perhaps its English counterpart, were given a death-blow by Napoleon’s application of papal authority to the French bishops. But Anglo-Gallicanism was an unconscionably long time dying, for at Downside in the early nineteenth century William Bernard Ullathorne, later bishop of Birmingham, was taught theology from Gallican textbooks. In this tradition a prominent part, in terms of impact and literary output, was played by another Benedictine, Thomas Preston, alias Roger Widdrington.

Basically, humans are born with different intellectual abilities in processing their thougths and produce somethingfrom that thought. Therefore, it is important to provide protection for the results of thought through the intellectual property rights regime. However, in practice there are still many cases where the intellectual property of a person or agroup or a legal entity is used without prior permission.  This juridical normative research examines fundamental thoughts for the protection of the results of one's thinking which is called intellectual property rights. There are several thoughts which become form the basis for protecting intellectual property rights; they are the natural right protection to reputation that has been built over a long time and quite high cost and also as a form of compensation and encouragement for people to create or find something.With the basic ideas behind the protection of IPR, the protection provided will be maximized, and the results of one's thinking will be more respected, both moral rights and economic rights

For a long time, corporate identity, corporate image and corporate reputation have been studied from a number of academic perspectives, due to their intangibility and their significant role in gaining an organization's competitive advantages. Recent business circumstances (for example, the economic downturn due to the Covid-19 pandemy) bring new challenges for companies and their long-term survival. The aim of this paper is to review the constructs of corporate identity, corporate image and corporate reputation, and, thus, to remove or reduce the misunderstanding of the three constructs in the relevant literature. After a thorough theoretical review, some influential conceptual models were examined, pointing out the role of communication in the whole process of corporate marketing.

We use historical data on union density and new historical data on policies toward migrants to study the long-run relationship between the strength of trade unions and the social and economic rights of migrants in the Global North. In countries with strong trade unions, there was, for a long time, a widening distance between the rights of migrants and the rights of citizens, probably because the rights of citizens expanded sooner and more quickly than the rights of migrants. Over time, however, the differences between countries with strong and weak unions have diminished, and in more recent years, the ‘rights gap’ between citizens and migrants has in fact been smaller in countries with strong unions than in countries with weak unions.

The paper presents data on the volume of materials consumed by builders and the carbon dioxide emissions that occur during this process. The reasons for the formation and volume of construction debris are considered. Recycling technologies currently used in the demolition of buildings are associated with crushing. The resulting concrete mix is used only for filling low-level earthworks due to the rapid carbonation of concrete surfaces. The scrap metal formed during crushing is used for remelting, polluting the atmosphere and requiring a large amount of energy. It is proved that due to the low economic and environmental efficiency, this method of recycling is a dead end. Studies have found that the constant increase in the strength of concrete and the absence of a decrease in the strength characteristics of reinforcing steels, stone materials, bricks, which are operated for a long time in favorable temperature and humidity conditions, allows them to be reused. General approaches have been developed that require changes in the existing technologies for the renovation of urban areas, the demolition of individual buildings and structures that currently exist. To reduce CO2 emissions and construction debris, it is enough to increase the volume of gentrification, reconstruction, major repairs, and re-profiling of the existing residential and industrial stock. When demolishing buildings, it is necessary to abandon the method of collapse of building structures with their further fragmentation. The method of piecemeal dismantling with repeated use of materials, products and structures (after determining their strength indicators by specialists), allows you to dramatically reduce the problems of construction debris and carbon dioxide emissions.

This study aims to seek legal certainty from the practice of buying and selling copyright that occurs in society. By emphasizing the study of the point of view of Islamic criminal law in answering the legality of the practice of buying and selling copyright logically and comprehensively. Next, do a deeper analysis and study of the ratio legislation of Law No. 28 of 2014 concerning Copyright. The design of this study is normative legal research with a statute approach and comparative approach. Data collection techniques used documentation in the form of library studies with sources of legal material. The results of this study indicate that: 1) copyright is a new term that is still unfamiliar in the context of Islamic criminal law. Although its application has been indirectly recognized since the time of the Prophet with the necessity to include the name of the author in each of the writings cited. This is true on the basis of copyright ownership of property ownership. So that related to the legality of copyright sale and purchase transactions are answered on the basis of the legality of buying and selling in general. The difference is that the object (mauqud aih alaih) of copyright sale and purchase is based on the perspective of f urf contained in the criteria of the benefits of goods (muntafa’bih) which are maqsu and ‘urfan or in other words the public has economic value and is worth trading. 2) Copyright sale and purchase transactions are transactions that have been legalized for a long time in positive law in Indonesia. This is based on the existence of related rights in the exclusive rights inherent in a creator. The related rights are in the form of economic and moral rights. In the end, these economic rights are the basis of the legality and royalties generated from copyright sale and purchase transactions based on the legality of other transactions listed in Article 9 paragraph (1) of Law No. 28 of 2014 concerning copyright.

ABSTRACT A conceptual model for growth and decay of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet has evolved over 100 years of Quaternary research in British Columbia. Physiography and location relative to prevailing westerly winds were the main factors controlling the style of glacier build up. The pattern of decay was controlled mainly by physiography. With cooling at the beginning of glaciation, mountain glaciers expanded to become valley glaciers and eventually coalesced on adjacent plateaus or shelves to form an ice sheet. At glacial maximum, this sheet extended from the western margin of the continental shelf to the eastern edge of the Rocky Mountains and from the Columbia Plateau to the central Yukon. The central (highest) part of the ice sheet was hemmed in by mountains, consequently, snowline had to rise nearly to its present elevation before shrinking of the central core could begin. This meant that mountain glaciers which initiated growth of the ice sheet were reduced to near their present dimensions before significant recession could take place in the core area of the ice sheet. As a consequence, large ice masses in the interior of British Columbia stagnated and then shrank to remnants occupying major valleys and eventually were reduced to dead ice blocks buried in glacial debris. This pattern of retreat contrasts with that of ice masses centred on mountain blocks, such as the Alps, where rising of the snowline resulted in recession of ice cap margins back towards original accumulation areas in the central core of the mountains.
