ARG Today Issue 1.Indd Newsletter of the Amphibian and Reptile Groups of the United Kingdom Autumn 2006 What is ARG UK? Jan Clemons Chair of ARG UK ARG UK represents the national network of voluntary Amphibian and Reptile Groups (ARGs), which exist for the conservation, recording and appreciation of amphibians and reptiles in the United Kingdom. Individual ARGs have developed separately over the last 20 years and were, until 2005, known collectively as the Herpetofauna Groups of Britain and Ireland (HGBI). However, by 2005 they had little direction and in October of that year, a new co- ordinating panel was elected and took up the challenge of revitalising the ARG network and making it a more effective conservation body. The newly branded organisation changed its name from HGBI to ARG UK, and its aims are to: 1. Act as an independent co-ordinating body for the ARG network, maximising its Grass snake - photo by Jon Cranfield contribution to herpetofauna conservation in the UK. The ARG network currently consists of the Herpetofauna Workers’ Meeting 49 groups, the majority of which (37) (HWM) held at the Coventry University. 2.

I am especially grateful to Susanna Barrows, PhD., Thomas Laqueur, PhD. and James Vernon, PhD. for their guidance, encouragement and inspiration. i Abstract Introduction: Hard Rock Miners Phthisis in 19 th and Early 20th Century Britain: From Diagnosis to Compensation By Fredric Mintz Doctor of Philosophy in History Professor Thomas Laqueur, Chair The development of new technologies and new patterns of working were indispensable to the accelerated economic growth, which characterized most of nineteenth century Britain. For much of that period the demand for raw siliceous containing materials increased sharply. In this process, equipment, which was ever more sophisticated, generated increasingly fine and more harmful siliceous dust, increasing early disability and death in mines and quarries as well as in numerous other industries. The present study examines the elaboration of silicosis, the disease, and the development of social policy directed at its prevention and compensation from the 1830s until 1918. I concentrate mainly on the nineteenth century and the twentieth century until 1907. In 1907, the law recognized that an occupational disease was a notional injury and a few became compensable.

    Proceedings OF THE Wesley Historical Society Editor: E. ALAN ROSE, B.A. Volume 56 February 2008 CHARLES WESLEY, 'WARTS AND ALL': The Evidence of the Prose Works The Wesley Historical Society Lecture 2007 Introduction ccording to his more famous brother John, Charles Wesley was a man of many talents of which the least was his ability to write A poetry.! This is a view with which few perhaps would today agree, for the writing of poetry, more specifically hymns, is the one thing above all others for which Charles Wesley has been remembered. Anecdotally I am sure that we all recognise that this is the case; and indeed if one were to look Charles up in more or less anyone of the many general biographical dictionaries that include an entry on him one will find it repeated often enough: Charles is portrayed as a poet and a hymn­ writer; while comparatively little, if any, attention is paid to other aspects of his work. On a more scholarly level too one can find it. Obviously there are exceptions, but in general historians of Methodism in particular and eighteenth-century Church history more widely have painted a picture of Charles that is all too monochrome and Charles' role as the 'Sweet Singer of Methodism' is as unquestioned as his broader significance is undeveloped. The reasons for this lack of full attention being paid to Charles are several and it is not (contrary to what is usually said) simply a matter of Charles being in his much more famous brother's shadow; a lesser light, as it were, belng outshone by a greater one.

However due to the mobile and secretive nature of many species the absence of identified presence cannot be considered as a guarantee that protected species are absent at all times.

In 2016 Bernadette Lobo of Lobo Ecology was asked to carry out a preliminary ecological scoping survey at The Mar, Arkendale, North Yorkshire. The aim of the survey was to identify existing flora, fauna, habitats and opportunities for enhancement. The Mar is described as a historical pond within the village of Arkendale that is likely to have historical significance, further it is a significant feature of the village and is of high value for wildlife.
