Regulating Egoism in Perpetuity
No full textWhile ordinary trusts are time-limited, the charitable foundation lasts forever. It is, in consequence, a perpetual legal vehicle through which a donor might seek to egoistically project her character and values into the future after her death. Unfortunately, that self-serving drive leads to bad charity, causing waste, as it crowds out higher social utility – or altruistic – uses of capital. Through attention to the concept of egoism, as it has developed in contemporary donative economics (‘egoistic theory’),this chapter explores the nature of the motivation to create perpetual foundations, and, flowing from that theorisation, it then critically develops a policy justification for the protection of the donor’s plans (plan-protection), alongside development of a legal-conceptual method for the utility-orientated reform of foundations

Hymedesmia Crami Goodwin & Picton 2009, SP. NOV.
No full textHYMEDESMIA (STYLOPUS) CRAMISP. NOV. (FIG. 9A, B) Type material: Holotype: specimen in IMS, section and spicule preparation from tissue sample (Rathlin Island Sponge Biodiversity Project; White Cliffs, 55°17.542 ′ N, 06°14.507 ′ W; water depth, 30–33 m; Mc 2653). Collected by B. Picton and A.M. Mahon, 7 July 2005. Etymology: Named for the cream colour of the surface, from the Latin crami for cream. Comparative material examined: Hymedemsia dermata Lundbeck, 1910, spicule preparation of specimen from Forsblads Fjord in East Greenland (Amdrup expedition 1900). ZMUC. External appearance: Thin, cream incrustation on boulder, with a maximum diameter of 5 cm. There are no obvious pore sieves, and the surface appears slightly hispid and is covered in a thin layer of silt. Skeleton: Basal layer of acanthostyles, sparsely distributed, with a roughly even ratio of large to small acanthostyles. There are ascending columns of ectosomal spicules that are 10–15 spicules thick, which fan out towards the surface, and may adjoin with adjacent columns. The sponge is 900–1000-Mm thick. Spicules: 1. Large acanthostyles: 370–550 Mm (436 Mm) by 12–18 Mm. Head, very slightly tylote; shaft, mainly smooth, with the bottom eighth to one-quarter covered in very small spines, giving it a roughened appearance. The spines on the head may be rounded at the tip. 2. Small acanthostyles: 105–175 Mm (136 Mm) by 12–14 Mm; the head is not tylote, and is entirely spined with recurved spines, the size of which vary between individual spicules (small–large). In some individuals the spines on the head are larger, and may have rounded tips. 3. Ectosomal spicules: 290–400 Mm (360 Mm) by 4–7 Mm. These are strongyles in which usually one or both ends are tylote. 4. Microscleres: absent. One arcuate chela was present in the spicule preparation, but is assumed to be contamination, as chelae are not present in the tissue section. Remarks: Hymedemsia dermata has similar spicule sizes. However, it is described as having concical papillae on the surface, and the large acanthostyles are strongly spined, as opposed to the roughened texture of the acanthostyles described above. The strongyles are also thicker (6–10 Mm), and may be polytylote.Published as part of Goodwin, Claire E. & Picton, Bernard E., 2009, Demosponges of the genus Hymedesmia (Poecilosclerida: Hymedesmidae) from Rathlin Island, Northern Ireland, with a description of six new species, pp. 896-912 in Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society 156 (4) on pages 906-907, DOI: 10.1111/j.1096-3642.2008.00498.x, http://zenodo.org/record/463507

Picton, its site, form and function
No full textThis statement is a description and interpretation of the urban structure and economic importance of Picton, and the outstanding geographic characteristics of Queen Charlotte Sound which may be called the rural region tributary to Picton. It is a statement showing how Picton has developed by the interaction of various historical, economic and political factors to become the only important port in Marlborough, with a population of 1,600.
As yet it is too early to state in what direction the future of Picton lies; whether its potentials as a tourist centre will be fully developed, or whether it will progress along industrial lines, or whether, as is more probable, some combination of these two possibilities will be evolved as the basis of its future development. Wherever possible, likely trends along which the progress of the town may develop in future are correlated with existing conditions.
The urban study of the town is based on a Land and Survey Department plan of 1926. In choosing Queen Charlotte Sound as the hinterland of Picton, the importance of the town’s nodality in respect to its tributary region has been of prime importance. As a port, Picton has a hinterland stretching far into the South Island, while its industries make the town dependent in some way on many parts of Marlborough; but whereas Picton is only of small importance in these connections, its significance as the nodal point of Queen Charlotte Sound is outstanding. The area chosen for discussion, then, is the tributary rural region of Queen Charlotte Sound that is materially dependent upon Picton. This region is of little economic importance, and has been dealt with only briefly
