The Holocene development of the Young Coastal Plain of Suriname
A new series of 19 radiocarbon dates from the Holocene Young Coastal plain in Suriname fits into the picture of a rapid sea-level rise in this area until about 6000 B.P. From 6000 B.P. onward the sea-level remained essentially at its present
position. Indication for a higher position of the sea-level at about 6500 B.P. are inconclusive. From about 6500 B.P. onward the marine influence in the interior part of the Young Coastal Plain diminished, but some marine oscillations were registered
. The available evidence is too limited to permit pertinent conclusions about the regional occurrence of marine fluctuations. From an analysis of the younger Holocene development in the Hertenrits area it is concluded that a new subdivision has to be established

Soccer has often been hailed as a key motivator in rehabilitation and restoration work with young people in difficult circumstances and for overcoming street life. Across much of Africa, the literature identifies many urban places as play spaces
for poor children who have limited alternative access to parks and playgrounds. The impact of the securing the 2010 World Cup in South Africa is examined in relation to impoverished young people in Cape Town.
the pedostratigraphical record was preserved, the Bt formation can be mainly attributed to the Bolling Inteerstadial. Younger events exist also in the Early Holocene. In most of these sites, Holocene pedogenesis is reduced to an acidification of even a podzolization
Enkele gegevens over datering en vindplaatsen van de windkeienlaag in Het Gooi Some data about dating and locations of the stone-pavement with ventifacts in Het Gooi (the Netherlands)

This article draws upon qualitative research with young Sikh men growing up in urban Scotland to explore the complex strategies enacted by these young men in responding to being placed in the position of the stranger. The strategies employed
