WHEELCHAIR competitors in Sunday's London Marathon have been told that instead of going for personal best times they must take at least one hour and 50 minutes to complete the course. The 61 entrants were informed of the limit last week.

It is also hoped it will avoid the much faster wheelchairs catching the elite women runners — who start five minutes earlier — at an early point where they are running as a group and hard to pass.

The Mount Nimba range, which straddles Guinea, Liberia and Côte d'Ivoire, comprises some of Africa's richest rainforest. Part of it was designated as a nature reserve in 1944, and its central area, which includes NIMCO's proposed mining operation, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site — which designation in theory prohibits any development whatsoever. The Guinean government, which supports the project in return for royalties from the ore sales, is seeking to redraw the Heritage Site boundaries so as to exclude the mine area. Meanwhile, NIMCO is planning to start operations before the completion of an environmental impact assessment commissioned by the World Bank.

For Hegedus the weakening of the bureaucratic character of administration will have to start with “social organizations” — party organizations, trade unions, youth movements, parliament, local councils, and so on, rather than in the sphere of state management.

From Brotherilkeld Farm simply follow the eastern side of the River Esk until you reach an area called Great Moss (3 miles).  Here you need to ford the River Esk — it's normally only inches deep — and head for a waterfall, Cam Spout (north, 0.5 mile). I have never had any difficulty crossing it here but if you are walking in, or just after, a deluge of rain it might be better to avoid the area by following the path along the western side of the river. This starts from Taw House Farm which you can reach from Brotherilkeld Farm by crossing the footbridge over the River Esk between the two farms.
To take but one example from the many available, a well-known medieval armorial design comprises a shield with three spike-like shapes starting from the top edge of the shield, points downward and meeting towards the bottom.

The representational theory of mind treats the explanation of mental life as a kind of engineering problem; it starts from the inside, from the representational state, and asks how mental states interact with one another to produce something that we would call “knowledge” the representational theorist proceeds like a sceptical philosopher who thinks that what figures in our mental life is not reality but our mental representations of it.

Ursula flicked a fragment of cigarette ash off the sleeve of her black dress and added, almost as an afterthought, "Poor Maurice," before turning and walking away towards the house.

"Another coffee?" Sandison had not intended this to sound like a jibe but it did. "No, I'd better be off, I think." "Well, look, thanks for fixing things up for me. I'm grateful."

He turned and after a few seconds said: "Probably."

Our starting point lies in the identification of the social factors which help to shape the perception of the problem of soil erosion by those who attempt to intervene in land-use decisions through government action. Most of the attempts to include social factors in the study of erosion and conservation, as the four illustrative quotations show, imply that the social problems start with "them", the land-users themselves.

Various LC phase change effects are exploited by different Japanese televisions. Each pixel must be individually addressed by a voltage to give the right shade at the right moment. This is done either by mounting the LC cell onto a semiconductor substrate, with one activating transistor behind each pixel, or by row and column electrodes on the glass LC cell walls. The electrodes intersect at each pixel to produce the required activation voltage. This is known as matrix addressing. Here the troubles start.

As we have seen, during the early decades of this century debate in public law focused on the issues arising from the growth in the legislative and judicial powers of the Executive. These issues came to a head with the appointment of the Committee on Ministers' Powers in 1929. The committee was appointed to consider powers of delegated legislation and quasi-judicial decision and to report on any safeguards needed `to secure the constitutional principles of the sovereignty of Parliament and the supremacy of the Law". The terms of reference themselves provoked concern, causing Robson to comment that the Donoughmore Committee "started life with the dead hand of Dicey lying frozen on its neck".

We may indeed take the depth of the autobiographer's image of a grandparent as one measure of the quality of their mutual relationship— and an especially important one, for on such relationships between earlier generations the insights which autobiography offers are unique.

Occasionally it is explained that they had already died — and given the still short life-expectancy of the period this must have been so in many cases. But death was not the only reason for lack of memories.
