		However, section 501(b) of the Act requires that we adopt regulations that not only implement the Act, but also ``are written in plain, understandable language.'' Furthermore, the courts have held in previous litigation concerning SMCRA that we have a duty to either flesh out the requirements or explain why it is unnecessary to do so.
		Where the Act or regulations provides for a mandatory action, we use ``must.'' Where previous regulations used ``shall'' to indicate a future action, we use ``will.'' When an action is not mandatory, we use ``may,'' except that the use of ``may not,'' is equivalent to a mandatory prohibition.
		Furthermore, section 509(a) of the Act and 30 CFR 800.14(b) already require that the amount of the bond be sufficient to assure completion of the reclamation plan if the work has to be performed by the regulatory authority in the event of forfeiture.

	Gaelen Foley, Regency History
		The two historical events used as book-ends to this 40 year span are: the French Revolution (1789), bringing an abrupt halt to the Georgian period, and the accession of Queen Victoria to the British throne in 1837, marking the official start of the Victorian period.

		It could be said that the Regency is the first time we see love within marriage as we now know it, and the very fact that this circumstance was unusual--not the norm--makes it easier to highlight, easier to showcase its desirable qualities.
		Indeed, as Priestley intimates, throughout the Regency there was a sense of waltzing while London burned--of living on the edge of great upheaval--of living through times that were rapidly and fundamentally changing, when the very ground of society shifted--of living life to the limits, as if there was no tomorrow.

		From 1843 to 1860 coroners were paid by fees but in 1860 legislation was passed abolishing this system of payment and instituting in its place payment of a salary that was calculated by using the average amount of fees, mileage, and allowances usually given to a coroner for a five year period.

		The act also required that the coroner view the body before proceeding with the inquest and that at the inquest, all testimony and evidence be taken under oath.
