DATA ABOUT INDUSTRIAL POLLUTION AND RELATED TOPICS The Air Management Information System (AMIS) is a program developed by the World Health Organization under the umbrella of the Healthy Cities Programme. The objective of AMIS is to transfer information on air quality management (air quality management instruments used in cities, indoor and ambient air pollutant concentrations, noise levels, health effects, control actions, air quality standards, emission standards, emission inventories, dispersion modeling tools) between countries and cities. In this context AMIS acts as a global air quality information exchange system. AMIS program activity areas include database coordination of air quality information in world mega-cities, act as an information broker, and provide training courses on monitoring and management.

Conclusions
Sacrifice and Atonement in the Pentateuch Sacrifice was common in the ancient world and it is regularly mentioned in the book of Genesis in connection with key individuals and significant moments in the outworking of God's purposes for his world (e.g. 3:3-5; 8:20-22; 12:7-8; 22:1-19). Such incidents are often spontaneous expressions of devotion and gratitude to God. However, it is in Exodus that sacrifice is first established as an essential part of God's plan for Israel as a nation. From that point in the biblical narrative, various rituals are prescribed as God's gift to his people, to express and maintain the relationship he established with them by grace.( Salvation and covenant When the Passover is first described in Scripture, the meaning of the Hebrew word pesah is explained in terms of the Lord's 'passing over' the houses of the Israelites when he brought judgement against the Egyptians (Ex. 12:11-13, 23-7). Two separate but related feasts, the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread, were to be celebrated one after the other as 'a perpetual ordinance', to remember the mighty deliverance of Israel from bondage in Egypt (Ex. 12:14-20; 13:3-10). Originally a purely domestic occasion, the Passover involved the sprinkling of the two sideposts and lintel of the door with the blood of the sacrificed lamb. When the sacrificial aspect of the festival was transferred to the central sanctuary, this blood sprinkling was apparently applied to the altar (cf. 2 Chron. 35:11).(

2.2 Synthetic Forces (and C I) Military forces may be divided into "men" and "material". The latter are the vehicles, weapons, and supplies, which are employed in combat, combat support, and combat service support. Taken together, they may loosely be referred to as "equipment". The former are the commanders, staff, and troops who employ the "material" to accomplish the mission. In M&S applications, models of "men" are referred to variously as Computer Generated Forces (CGF), Semi-Automated Forces (SAF), or in the broadest sense simply as Synthetic Forces (SF). 2.2.1 Modeling C I systems are intended to support operations in the "real world", where the preceding investments in TEMO, RDA, and ACR M&S are expected to result in military superiority and effectiveness. e.g. , the impact of MOPP gear, or cold, on individual effectiveness). 2.2.1.1 Equipment In all three M&S cases (TEMO, RDA, and ACR), although for different purposes, models of "material" are required. This is also true of C I systems, since information system support for command decision making traditionally employs Tactical Decision Aids (TDAs) as a means to estimate the effectiveness of "material" employment in the context of a mission. The estimated cross-country mobility of a vehicle, the target detection range of a sensor, or the suitability of an area for employment as a logistics site, are standard examples of models of "material" being used to determine predicted performance.

Internet Resources for Demographers
Thomas A. Gryn
Introduction
This paper provides a description of demographic resources available on the Internet. These resources include census data, online databases, and home sites of demographic organizations. The description of demographic Internet resources is divided into five sections: North American demography, international demography, general interest items, health-related sources, and geography-related sources. The paper is followed by two appendices. The first provides a brief introduction to the Internet and to Internet access; the second contains a quick-reference list of Internet sites. Readers who are unfamiliar with the Internet should consider reading Appendix I before proceeding. Because one paper cannot reference every demographic resource on the Internet, this paper should be seen primarily as an attempt to impart enough knowledge for readers to seek out further information on their own, according to their particular research interests. Previous compilations of Internet resources have been made for demography by Malsawma (1996) and McCracken (1996). While these prior works have focused exclusively on World Wide Web resources, this paper both indexes resources found on the World Wide Web and lists selected non-WWW resources.

The Markets For Organic Products
Abstract : As trade further globalizes, social and environmental concerns are emerging, in some cases rather quietly. Dominant market groups are setting a range of standards that their developing country suppliers must meet. For some major European food companies these are proving to be nearly as relevant as concerns for quality and safety. What is this "ethical trading" and how does it impact the development of food production and the value chain in developing countries that seek to export? Can the promotion of ethical trading standards improve a subsector's competitiveness in the marketplace or does it serve more as a catalyst for sustainable production and livelihoods? This paper addresses these emerging standards, their application, their role, and potential implications for governments and development agencies. I. The Importance of Ethical Trading

Foreword As we can read from from Risto Seppälä in the IUFRO News Vol. 25, 1996, issue 3, the scientific community has became increasingly interested in sustainability, and IUFRO, to demonstrate this has established a special Task Force on sustainable Management. The following paper is an attempt to give an overview of the recent developments mainly in North America, in the field of sustainable and ecosystem-based management of natural resources, including forest resources. The subject is in line with the actual preoccupation of IUFRO and should be of interest to all division. Acknowledgments Contents 1. Introduction 2. Background and recent developments 2.1.

Developing a Data Support System for Ecosystem Management Research
Abstract
Changing attitudes toward national forests have increased demands to manage forests in a socially acceptable and ecologically sustainable manner. As an alternative to clearcutting on national forests in western Arkansas and eastern Oklahoma, research was initiated to investigate the effects and trade-offs of partial cutting methods in pine-hardwood stands. An interdisciplinary group of Forest Service and University scientists organized under the Southern Forest Experiment Station developed a replicated stand level study and has begun to monitor activities in the following areas: silviculture, wildlife, biodiversity, visual quality, recreation, water quality, soils, cultural resources, insects, diseases, harvesting and management economics. Information is being collected by more than fifty researchers over a five year period. In order to evaluate the effects of different management strategies and their interactions with forest resources, the data must be brought into a common format and made available to all researchers. A data support system was developed which incorporates Geographic Information System (GIS), Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and computer network technologies. This allows researchers to integrate both spatial and tabular data from more than two thousand plots. Initiation of this data support system involved the development of a conceptual design which allows all phases of the research to be integrated into a spatial model.

Falls Church, Virginia Abstract 1. Introduction In his famous dissenting opinion in Olmstead v. U.S., 277 U.S. 438 (1928) , Justice Louis Brandeis called the right to be let alone "the most comprehensive of rights and the right most cherished by civilized men." Justice Brandeis's ruling could just as easily apply to the right of indigenous peoples to be let alone from intrusive central government "development" and surveillance programs. The increasing use of satellites to survey lands and oceans for natural resources comes at the expense of many indigenous peoples to freely conduct various activities on their ancestral lands. Many indigenous tribes maintain a certain kinship with the territory upon which they live. This kinship runs deep and in some cases has an important religious significance for the people concerned. 2. Geographic Information Systems (GISs) and Indigenous Lands Indian leaders contend that those who operate GISs must be sensitive to the traditions surrounding their lands. Many Indian tribes feel that certain data must remain private and not be released to the general public. Data security and privacy controls therefore become problematic. Tribal officials such as the Colville Confederacy leadership feel that certain data cannot be treated as regular data. Information on hunting and gathering areas has a spiritual significance for the Indians that is perhaps unappreciated by statisticians in cold, gray and distant computer rooms (Marchand and Winchell, 1994, 51).
