Nowadays the problem is quite the reverse: medical science is generally able to determine whether D's conduct caused the death, and innovations such as life-support machines mean that life can be prolonged for months and years in some instances.
The β€˜ year and a day ’ rule is a legacy of times when medical science was so rudimentary that, if there was a substantial lapse of time between injury and death, it was unsafe to pronounce on whether the defendant's conduct or some other event caused the death.
In one recent case the victim of a stabbing died two and a half years after the incident, having been kept on a life- support machine for almost the entire time.

It has also been argued that the small mouths of the giants simply could not have downed enough food to support a warm-blooded metabolism, particularly plant food that needs a lot of processing before it becomes available as energy.
On the other hand it can be argued that the sauropods like Brachiosaurus were so large, and with a relatively small surface area through which to cool compared with their enormous volume, that their cooling rate could have been slow enough to allow them to sustain more continuous activity than smaller, living reptiles.
The armoured or plated dinosaurs include some species that seem too heavily burdened with protective armour to have been very active, but this does not necessarily mean that they had to be cold-blooded.

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.
As noted above, the simple division of hazards is between those which are natural and those which are technological or human-induced.
The further subdivision of natural hazards is self-explanatory as is that of individual technological hazards.

The poem highlights two important twelfth-century developments: the use of force in punishing aristocratic crime (the fruit of princely peace-keeping), and the increasing significance of siege-engines in warfare.
Intellectuals claimed a formative influence in the second too: John of Marmoutier declared that monks from his own monastery had read Vegetius' De Re Militari to Geoffrey le Bel when he was investing the castle of a rebellious castellan, and ascribed his success to their advice on firebombs.

Some of the smaller, and most certainly highly active dinosaurs were about the size of a chicken, and there is more than a passing similarity between a running ostrich and the kind of reconstruction that shows fleet-footed, running dinosaurs.
This is that the dinosaurs, or a close dinosaur relative, included the ancestors of the living birds.
The point is that birds themselves are warm-blooded, like mammals, and if birds and dinosaurs are as closely related as now seems likely, then it obviously increases the likelihood that the dinosaurs themselves may have been warm-blooded.

In fact Meadowell is an Elastoplast name like Sizewell, invented in the 1970s to disguise what was already a running sore.
By most measures Meadowell is the worst council estate in Britain, and probably the most notorious since the riots last September, which followed the deaths of joyriders Colin Atkins and Dale Robson in a police chase.
When built in 1938 it was The Ridges, which is still what they call it locally β€” a slum clearance project on the north bank of the Tyne, 10 miles east of Newcastle.
