We have data on some hazardous sites (e.g. those regulated by CIMAH) in the UK but a much more comprehensive approach should be adopted, especially if we are serious in the search for environmental associations with chronic diseases.
Although the raster displays are very crude it is simple to answer spatial queries concerning the locations of people (for instance, particular age groups) within certain distances of toxic hazard sites.

Surely an animal of this bulk, it was argued, must be partly supported by water, and their relatively inconsequential teeth must have been adapted for chewing on the kind of soft, luxuriant vegetation that flourishes in and around swamps.
Most of the popular books showing the Mesozoic giants in their natural setting portray them wallowing about in swamps flanked by deep vegetation, their bodies largely under water.
Because their nasal openings were on the top of their heads they could even continue to breathe if it became necessary (see p. 115) to totally submerge.

As noted above, the simple division of hazards is between those which are natural and those which are technological or human-induced.
Each of these may be further subdivided and the typology shown in Fig. 10.1 draws upon the classic work of Burton and Kates (1964) in separating geophysical from biological hazards and Zeigler et al. (1983) in distinguishing public (or what we might call societal) hazards from private (individual) ones.

A major feature of these applications is the extent to which they involve overlays of a variety of information drawn from different sources on a topographic map base.
The first three chapters dealing with environmental monitoring, natural and technological hazards and settlements and infrastructure applications make use of a very wide range of geographic information.

Yet the logic of the definition suggested that it would benefit especially kings, whose competence to declare war could not be impugned: thus Thibaud of Blois failed to persuade the monks of Marmoutier that they owed him service when he fought against Louis VI; they claimed discretion in the matter; and in 1184, the mighty Philip of Alsace hesitated to commit to battle the army he had summoned against Philip Augustus, through fear that its ranks might melt away.

A key aspect of the 1977 White Paper was the stress it placed on the wider effects of poverty: that it was not just those with acute needs who suffered.
It argued that in talking about inner cities it was vital to think in terms not just of individuals, but of society; that the multiple deprivations of the worst hit areas affected all the residents; that the consequences included a pervasive sense of neglect and decay, a decline in community spirit, a low standard of neighbourhood facilities, and an increase in crime and vandalism; and that, without government intervention, the future was one of reduced job opportunities, deteriorating housing, and a decline in public services.

Of course because there are no living trilobites we cannot find direct confirmation of this hypothesis, but we can look for other arthropods that have the same modifications of the eyes, for example, in the present day oceans.

In a culture where sexual metaphors are frequently used to convey racial and political conflict, the Tehuana represents that aspect of Mexico's indigenous tradition unbowed by centuries of colonial and male rule.
The ostensibly matriarchal society of Tehuantepec led to the adoption of the Tehuana, in post-revolutionary Mexico, as the image of the strong Indian woman; the undefeated counterpart to the despised β€˜ Chingada ’, who, conversely is the female embodiment of Mexico's hybrid post-conquest culture.

In fact there is nothing fixed about such interpretations, because the way the fossils are understood may change over the years, but it is usually some time before new discoveries percolate into the popular presentations.

Four of the absentees suffered the squirming discomfort of being among the Welsh squad.
As if 24-17 and derisive chants of β€˜ Easy, easy ’ were not bad enough, this humiliation was against a side who have made a wretched start to the season β€” a week earlier Pontypool had given them a 35-6 going - over β€” and were short of at least half -a-dozen first-choice players.

Research is in progress, however, to assess possible health effects of poor incineration (Diggle et al. 1990).
We simply do not have enough evidence yet to back up the claim that β€˜ people are almost certainly ill, dead, or dying because of these sloppy waste disposal activities ’ (Openshaw et al. 1989: 12).
Particular attention should be focused on hospital incinerators, since these have been subject to Crown immunity for many years and most are technically ill-equipped to burn at sufficiently high temperatures for adequate disposal of wastes (Gatrell and Lovett 1991).

Steel-Maitland also explained to Lord Robert Cecil that " it has been arranged that the National Conservative Union should send out leaflets produced by several of the ancillary organizations, such as the Tariff Reform League, the Anti-Socialist Union, the Primrose League, the London Municipal Society etc .

They represent a time when either their objects were not the same as those of the official organization, or the CCO was not enterprising enough to suit them . But some caution should be observed .

In describing the project, a non-punitive model for understanding probation practice will be developed.
Issue will be taken with the appropriateness of applying the concept of punishment to the probation context through reference to a demanding and successful probation project concerned with offenders in trouble through drink.
This non-punitive paradigm will provide a framework for contrasting the efficacy of current practice with future plans inappropriately to transform probation work into β€˜ a new approach to punishment in the community ’ (p. 18, para. 4.3).

This boat was called Dream Baby, and she was clearly an expensive infant for rods and whip- aerials and outriggers splayed from her upperworks like the antennae of some outlandish insect.
The fighting chair on her aft deck had thick white leather straps giving it the appearance of a padded electric chair, while the dazzle paint gave the boat an oddly military look that was completed by the number 666 that was painted on her bows in silver-edged black numerals like those warships use to display their commissioning numbers.

Considerations of this kind have led the House of Lords Select Committee on Murder and Life Imprisonment to recommend the abolition of the mandatory sentence for murder.
Those who kill and are convicted of manslaughter by reason of diminished responsibility are no less dangerous than those convicted of murder, and yet the judge has sentencing discretion in one case and not in the other.
In its place would be a sentencing discretion, which judges would use, in many cases, to mark the relative heinousness of the murder by a determinate prison sentence.
