  • The Sherpa and the Snowman
    THE SHERPA AND THE SNOWMAN Charles Stonor the "Snowman" exist an ape DOESlike creature dwelling in the unexplored fastnesses of the Himalayas or is he only a myth ? Here the author describes a quest which began in the foothills of Nepal and led to the lower slopes of Everest. After five months of wandering in the vast alpine stretches on the roof of the world he and his companions had to return without any demon strative proof, but with enough indirect evidence to convince them that the jeti is no myth and that one day he will be found to be of a a very remarkable man-like ape type thought to have died out thousands of years before the dawn of history. " Apart from the search for the snowman," the narrative investigates every aspect of life in this the highest habitable region of the earth's surface, the flora and fauna of the little-known alpine zone below the snow line, the unexpected birds and beasts to be met with in the Great Himalayan Range, the little Buddhist communities perched high up among the crags, and above all the Sherpas themselves that stalwart people chiefly known to us so far for their gallant assistance in climbing expeditions their yak-herding, their happy family life, and the wav they cope with the bleak austerity of their lot. The book is lavishly illustrated with the author's own photographs.

  • DNA Fingerprinting: Informed Consent and the Admissibility of Evidence Greg Horton
    DNA Fingerprinting: Informed Consent and the Admissibility of Evidence Greg Horton I: INTRODUCTION All human beings, no matter how varied their appearance, share one basic characteristic: they are built from cells, and in the nucleus of each cell is deoxyribonucleic acid - DNA. Further, the DNA is the same in every cell of the human body. DNA carries the genetic code which determines a person's physical characteristics. Because human beings are generally more similar than different in appearance (that is, for the most part we all have two legs, two arms, a head and a torso), most of our DNA structure is identical. However, approximately one- thousandth of the composition of each person's DNA is unique. Every individual, therefore, except an identical twin, has unique DNA. The existence of this unique DNA structure formed the basis for the develop- ment of a technique which has been described as "the most significant break- through in resolving serious crime since fingerprinting was invented".1 That technique is known as DNA fingerprinting, and it was developed in 1985 by Professor Alec Jeffreys of Leicester University. The essence of the technique is the subjection of a bodily sample, such as blood, semen, saliva, hair, or skin scrapings to a complicated laboratory process.2 This process results in a visualisation on Tande, "DNA Typing: A New Investigatory Tool" [1989] Duke L 474, citing Marshall, "'Genetic Fingerprints' May Catch Killer", LA Times, 11 March 1987, 11. 2 The actual process used is not discussed in this paper but in depth discussions of the technique can be found in most academic articles on the subject of DNA fingerprinting: see for example Kelly, Rankin & Wink, "Method and Applications of DNA Fingerprinting: A Guide for the Non- Scientist" [1987] Crim LR 105.

  • “Real Evidence” Refers to Any Tangible Object Or Sound Recording of a Conversation That Is Offered in Evidence
    11.01. Real Evidence (1) Definition. “Real Evidence” refers to any tangible object or sound recording of a conversation that is offered in evidence. (2) Admissibility. Real evidence is admissible upon a showing that it is relevant to an issue in the proceeding, is what it purports to be, and has not been tampered with. Proof that an object has not been tampered with and is what it purports to be depends on the nature of the object and, in particular, whether the object is “patently identifiable,” or “fungible.” (a) Patently identifiable evidence. When real evidence possesses unique or distinctive characteristics or markings and is not subject to material alteration that is not readily apparent, evidence identifying the object normally will constitute the requisite proof. (b) Fungible evidence. When real evidence is fungible, capable of being altered, contaminated, or replaced, or is a sound recording, in addition to testimony identifying the object, proof that the proffered evidence has not been tampered with is required and may be satisfied by: (i) a “chain of custody” (i.e. testimony of those persons who handled the object or recording from the time it was obtained or recorded to the time it is presented in court to identify the object or recording and attest to its unchanged condition); or (ii) proof of circumstances that provide reasonable assurances of the identity and unchanged condition of the object or recording. 1 (c) Sound recording. A sound recording of a conversation is admissible: (i) upon testimony of a participant in, or a witness to, the conversation that the recording is unaltered and completely and accurately reproduces the conversation at issue; or (ii) by a combination of testimony of a participant and an expert establishing the completeness, accuracy, and absence of alteration of the recording; or (iii) in addition to evidence concerning the making of the recording and identification of the speakers, by establishing a “chain of custody” (i.e.

  • Evidence (Real & Demonstrative)
    Evidence (Real & Demonstrative) E. Tyron Brown Hawkins Parnell Thackston & Young LLP Atlanta, Georgia 30308 I. TYPES OF EVIDENCE There are four types of evidence in a legal action: A. Testimonial; B. Documentary; C. Real, and; D. Demonstrative. A. TESTIMONIAL EVIDENCE Testimonial evidence, which is the most common type of evidence,. is when a witness is called to the witness stand at trial and, under oath, speaks to a jury about what the witness knows about the facts in the case. The witness' testimony occurs through direct examination, meaning the party that calls that witness to the stand asks that person questions, and through cross-examination which is when the opposing side has the chance to cross-examine the witness possibly to bring-out problems and/or conflicts in the testimony the witness gave on direct examination. Another type of testimonial evidence is expert witness testimony. An expert witness is a witness who has special knowledge in a particular area and testifies about the expert's conclusions on a topic. ln order to testify at trial, proposed witnesses must be "competent" meaning: 1. They must be under oath or any similar substitute; 2. They must be knowledgeable about what they are going to testify. This means they must have perceived something with their senses that applies to the case in question; 3. They must have a recollection of what they perceived; and 4. They must be in a position to relate what they communicated 1 Testimonial evidence is one of the only forms of proof that does not need reinforcing evidence for it to be admissible in court.

One hundred and fi fty years ago, the people of this island created a unique cloth, a tweed woven entirely by hand that was to become world famous. Today, it is known simply as Harris Tweed. To this day, Harris Tweed is the only fabric in the world protected by an Act of Parliament. It must be “made with 100% pure virgin wool, dyed, spun and fi nished in the Outer Hebrides and woven by hand by the Islanders in their homes on the Islands of Lewis, Harris, Uist and Barra.” Harris Tweed production is monitored on a daily basis and all fabric is inspected and approved before being stamped with their trademark. No other fabric can call itself Harris Tweed, just as no other cap can call itself Stormy Kromer. We are proud to bring you this unique collection of products which combines the history and tradition of two legendary brands from either side of the Atlantic.
