Notions that races are natural or god-given entities whose integrity should be preserved have retreated to the extremes of the political spectrum. Anyone who argues that miscegenation presents "problem" or that the members of certain races should be deterred from living in Western nations ~ as even many educated people believed in the early years of the 20th century - is no longer taken seriously. Nevertheless, we should not be too complacent about such apparent progress. Some of the underlying fallacies about race still live on in our attitudes towards non-human species, though in an admittedly less destructive form. Conservationists who regard themselves as high-minded and progressive often harbour beliefs about interbreeding ot the desirability of excluding alien plants and animals that they would denounce as "racist" or "xenophobic" were they applied to humans. ‘A somewhat farcical, though nevertheless instructive example is the long-running row over the ‘American ruddy duck that came to a head in Europe earlier this month, with Tony Blair's Government deciding to eradicate the 6000 or so members of the species now in Britain. ‘The forebears of the present ruddy duck population were brought to England soon after World War Il by Sir Peter Scott, a devoted conservationist who founded the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust sanctuary in Slimbridge, Gloucestershire. Jn the early 1950s a few ducklings somehow avoided having their wings clipped, and later escaped the Slim bridge sanctuary to form a free-flying population. By the 1980s small numbers of their descendants had started to make an annual migration to Spain, where they began mating with the closely related, but endangered, white-headed duck, creating a fertile hybrid. Spanish conservationists and government officials, who had established programs which had built up the numbers of the endangered duck from a couple of dozen in the 1970s to about 2000, were dismayed. They feared that continued hybridisation would eventually lead to the extinction of the white headed duck. So, after more than 50 years of residence in Britain, the otherwise unobjectionable ruddy ducks have outlived their welcome, and either will be exterminated or trapped and then deported to their original home in North America. This program of avian cleansing will cost millions of dollars, and has angered animal welfare groups, who sensibly argue that the hybridization and eventual transformation of a species through interbreeding should not be treated as comparable to species extinction through predation or loss of habitat. They see the real problem as being the prejudice of conservationists, who are unwilling to tolerate miscegenation between related bird species because of an obsession with "genetic impurity" Test 5 - Section | - Page 10In fact, the white-headed duck may not be native to Spain, with some wildlife experts stating that ite real home is far to the east, in southern Russia. Animal Aid, a British organization that is bitterly opposed to what it calls the “erusade" against the ruddy duck, even claims that the endangered ducks in Spain may themsetves be hybrids resulting from unions between the populations of white- headed ducks in Eurasia and another closely related species, the African Maceoa duck. In other words, if Animal Aid's suggestions are correct, one hybrid population of ducks is being treated as a distinct but endangered species, and all stops are being pulled out to preserve its supposed purity; while another very similar hybrid population is being treated as a genetic abomination, not fit to exist. Racism often leads to nasty absurdities. ‘The ruddy duck's unfortunate plight largely stems from its status as an alien. Had changing weather conditions or other environmental opportunities caused a bird which was native to Britain to wander further afield and begin “contaminating” the gene pool of close continental relatives, such behaviour would probably have been treated as a natural process, undeserving of human intervention. None of this is to deny that some alien species can cause enormous ecological damage. Apart from ‘Antarctica, every region of the world has suffered from exotic plants and animals which lack natural checks on their population growth in their new environment. ‘Australia's experience has been as bad as any, and the roster of “terrorist” aliens is long, including foxes, cane toads, blackberries and carp, as well as the most recent onslaughts from fire ants around Brisbane, and the even more frightening yellow crazy ants from South-East Asia which have become established in parts of Amhem Land. But even while recognizing and confronting the threats that these and similarly destructive species pose, we should not forget that countries like Australia would be immeasurably poorer economically, aesthetically and emotionally, were it not for the alien species that make possible our agriculture, provide our pets, and adorn our gardens and parks, No responsible person would claim. that the comparatively small number of criminal or antisocial immigrants who slip through border controls and create problems justifies excluding all foreigners. Can multicultural societies really argue that similar considerations should not apply to exotic plants and animals as well? Ron Brunton, The Courier-Mail, Brisbane, March 15 2003, p. 34. 28 The passage suggests that the continued presence of the muddy duck in Europe is a danger to native duck species. conservationists who object to the presence of the ruddy duck in Europe are being racist. the solution to the raddy duck problem is to send them back to North America, yow> Australia is free of xenophobia towards alien species of animals and plants.

What are you talking about? How could you lose it?” "Jt was in a packet," said the boy, "a little envelope. I lost it.” "So you lost it, did you?" he said. He stepped back a couple of paces and took off his belt - a wide, thick belt with a heavy brass buckle. "Come here," he said. The man hit the boy unmercifully about the body and legs. The boy sank to the floor, but did not cry out.

The representative of the party bringing the action (the prosecutor in a criminal case and the plaintiff in a civil case) opens the case by addressing the jury. The facts and how they will be proved are stated. Witnesses for both sides are then called to give evidence. These witnesses may be questioned (cross- examined) by the representative of the other side and re-examined by the party who called the witness. Jn addition, witnesses may be questioned at any time by the presiding judge. During the trial jurors may be asked to leave the court while legal points are discussed. After the judge has resolved such a matter the jury returns to the court and the evidence continues, ‘As part of the trial procedure, the jury may be taken to view something relative to the matter. Sheriff's Officers arrange for the transportation ete, and will accompany the jury on such a view. Ina criminal trial the prosecution addresses the jury to sum up its case followed by the defence. Ina civil matter the defendant's representative addresses the jury to sum up the client's case, followed by the plaintiffs representative. It is then up to the judge to instruct the jury on what is the appropriate law. The jury retires, considers the evidence and brings in a verdict based on the facts. The foreman/forewoman announces the jury's verdict to the judge. In a civil case, the jury will be required to give a verdict for the successful party. In an event of a guilty verdict in a criminal case, the judge pronounces the sentence, either at that time or at some future date. Your obligations as juror terminate when you have been discharged by the judge. Normally jurors on a trial are permitted to go to their homes each evening. However, sometimes, especially when the jury has retired to consider the verdict and a verdict bas not been reached late at night, the judge may order the jury to remain together overnight in suitable accommodation. ‘Acrangements for the accommodation are made by Sheriff's Officers who will also, if necessary, collect jurors' personal effects. 45 If the jury has not reached a verdict and it is late at night a juror ‘A. might have to stay overnight with the other jurors.

Seven thousand of them were indicted and arraigned, and then they entered the maw of the criminal justice system - right here - through the gateway into Gibraltar, where the vans were lined up. That was about 150 new cases, 150 more pumping hearts and morose glares, every week that the courts and the Bronx County District Attomey's Office were open.

The effect was that of a miracle on the multitudes which surrounded the place; and they passed from incredulity and menace into the most extravagant expressions of approbation and joy. ‘At the height of twenty yards, the balloon was a little depressed by the wind, which had fine effect; it held me over the ground for a few seconds, and seemed to pause majestically before its departure. On discharging a part of the ballast, it ascended to the height of two hundred yards. As a multitude lay before me of a hundred and fifty thousand people, who had not seen my ascent from the ground, Thad recourse to every stratagem to let them know I was in the gallery, and they literally rent the air with their acclamations and applause. In these stratagems I devoted my flag, and worked my oars, one of which was immediately broken, and fell from me; a pigeon too escaped, which, with a dog and a cat, were the only companions on my excursion. When the thermometer had fallen from 68° to 61° I perceived a great difference in the temperature of the air. I became very cold and found it necessary to take a few glasses of wine. I likewise ate the leg of a chicken, but my bread and other provisions had been rendered useless by being mixed with sand, which T carried as ballast. When the thermometer was at 50°, the effect of the atmosphere and combination of circumstances around produced a calm delight, which is inexpressible, and which no situation on earth could give.

You immediately recognise the genetic patterns. A portion of the Pedigree is shown below. In this pedigree, there are two traits: long hair trait H/h; and white spot trait S/s. In the pedigree the upper half indicates trait H/h and the lower half indicates trait S/s. A shaded half indicates that the trait is displayed. If both top and bottom halves are shaded the individual displays both traits. As per convention, circles represent females, squares represent males, capital letters denote dominant genes, lower case letters represent recessive genes. The first generation is labelled A, the next B, and so on.
