Railway Industry Association Department for Transport, Office of Rail Regulation Completely separate public-sector organisations Department for Transport sets strategy Office of Rail Regulation is an independent body with responsibility for economic and safety regulation
Railway Industry Association Network Rail The infrastructure manager owns and operates the track, signalling, electrification and telecommunications networks manages the timetable most of its work is carried out by suppliers, except infrastructure maintenance.
Railway Industry Association Network Rail - 2 NR is a private-sector company but now has no shareholders any profits are reinvested in infrastructure work receives revenues from train operators (access charges) and direct grant from Government.
Railway Industry Association Passenger Train Operating Companies Passenger services are provided by individual train operating companies (TOCs) under franchise from the Government – typically 7 years TOCs are contracted to provide a fixed service pattern in return for a fixed subsidy (or premium) TOCs retain fare revenues, an incentive to –grow market –keep costs down –prevent fare evasion Source - ORR
Railway Industry Association Freight Operating Companies Some five FOCs Not franchises and not subsidised – operate as purely market organisations Access charges normally related to extra cost of freight trains only – basic costs paid by passenger TOCs Source - ORR
Railway Industry Association Relationship between NR and Government Government does not own or control NR Government specifies the level of service it wants NR to provide ORR decides the cost of the specified service level and sets TOCs' access charges accordingly Government compensates TOCs for changes in access charges Government is the ultimate guarantor of NR's debts.

Railway Industry Association Relevance to Romanian Situation Reformed very early – learnt lessons for others Infrastructure & Operations Split Open Market/Competition Infrastructure Renewals & Enhancements Private Investment in infrastructure & rolling stock Public Private Partnerships Full role in EU standardisation Understanding the assets Coping with growth, controlling costs, maintaining standards Long Term engagement with industry
Railway Industry Association Railway Industry Association - RIA Trade association for the UK railway supply industry Acknowledged voice of that industry Which is the largest railway employer More than 135 member companies, 12 staff Members supplying national rail, LU, light rail, exports 50% membership growth in the last eight years Includes great bulk of sector by turnover Funded entirely by its members.
Railway Industry Association RIA Membership
Railway Industry Association RIA Members – March 2006
Railway Industry Association RIA Members include: UK Elements of Major Systems Integrators Passenger train manufacturers/maintainers All major signalling and most major telecoms firms All Track Renewal Contractors Rolling stock leasing companies (ROSCOs) Major suppliers and other contractors Component manufacturers Consultants and specialist service providers.
Railway Industry Association UK Privatisation Many of our members' activities were formerly carried out by British Rail During privatisation, infrastructure and rolling stock support activities were sold or contracted out Passenger operations were franchised on a highly competitive basis & freight operators sold Most expertise now held in the private sector – much of that in the supply industry The process began around 10 years ago and has gradually evolved
Railway Industry Association Impact of the Reformed Railway on the Supply Industry A much more formal approach to the control of safety and quality Strong pressure to: –Maximise capacity available –Maximise reliability –Minimise life-cycle costs, taking account of disruption UK supply market is highly competitive, and open internationally
Railway Industry Association Impact of the Reformed Railway on the Supply Industry - 2 All lead to: –strong pressure to innovate for greater capacity, reliability and cost-effectiveness –willingness to look to other industries –emphasis on technology and expertise to understand, monitor, control and optimise the engineering interfaces within the railway –concentration more on Value for Money than initial price
Railway Industry Association Impact of the Reformed Railway on the Supply Industry - 3 So companies that succeed in the UK are highly experienced in –cost-effective operation –providing strong support to their customers –Identifying and providing best-value solutions, for both existing assets and new projects because they have to be.

Car accidents can happen anytime and anywhere, leaving people injured and even dead in a matter of minutes.
Many of us have witnessed car accidents while traveling on the road, but you may not know what to do in such a situation. Even if you were not hurt in the accident and your car was not directly involved, you are an important part of what happens after the crash. Our St. Louis car wreck lawyer will explain the steps to take if you are a witness to a car crash.
Do Not Leave the Scene of the Accident
It is important that you remain at the accident scene. However, before you step out of your vehicle, ensure that your car is out of the way of traffic and emergency vehicles. Doing so is important as it will prevent a secondary accident, and you are not interfering with rescue and recovery operations.
Call 911
The first thing you should do is call 911. Wait for emergency services to arrive at the scene of the accident. If you find it appropriate, you can check on the accident victim. However, do not move an injured person as it can aggravate their injuries.
Make Other Drivers Aware of the Accident
Make other drivers aware of the accident using cones or flares if they are available. Switch on your hazard lights and headlights as well.
Offer to Call a Relative or Friend
Those involved in the crash may wish to inform a relative, friend, or employer about the accident. They may not be in a condition to make a phone call, so you can offer to make a call on their behalf.
Speak with the Police
When the police reach the scene of the accident, talk to them. Respond to their questions honestly and describe everything you witnessed. However, remember not to draw any conclusions.
Share Your Contact Information
Share your contact details with the involved parties as they may need to reach out to you in the future.
Speaking with a St. Louis Car Wreck Lawyer
It is possible that the lawyers of the parties involved in the accident might call you to seek valuable information that you have regarding the crash. This may help injured victims who are seeking compensation.
If you have been injured by a negligent driver, call The Hoffmann Law Firm, L.L.C. at (314) 361-4242.

Mantis – bringing classic Dubstep back
Featured on Never Say Die's forthcoming 'Black Label Vol.2', Mantis are known for their wonderfully weighty sound. They bring 'Desolation' – a terrifyingly chilling track that will shake your bones to the core. It's released on 28th April and we caught up with the Mantis boys to hear more about it.
We know you had a collab with MUST DIE! but this is your first solo track on Never Say Die. How did 'Desolation' end up on the Black Label series?
Well, our good buddy Lee (MUST DIE!) sent a super early version over to SKisM and he liked the direction of the track, just wanted us to refine it a bit more. We did and BAM!
How long have you guys been working together?
We've been working together just over three years as of this past January!
You have just started the Blood Sweat and Bass tour, what show are you most looking forward to?
Well, the tour is coming to a close at this point, but our favorite dates were (hands down) the Detroit and Minneapolis shows!
The Black Label series is all about capturing the classic sound of Dubstep. What are a couple of essential tracks that originally inspired you?
Datsik – 'Jenova Project', InnerPartySystem – 'Last Night in Brooklyn' (Numbernin9 Remix), Rusko – 'Mr. Muscle', Truth – 'The Emperor'
Who would you most like to collaborate with next?
Funtcase, Datsik, or Truth
Thanks for your time guys, 'Desolation' is awesome! Check out the preview here.

To the Editor:
There was no mention of cold-brewed coffee in the Online Shopper column on coffee. This is probably the best way to brew coffee. It removes most of the acid and some of the caffeine. It takes 12 hours to make, and you end up with concentrate that you add to hot water. It's wonderful. The unit I have comes from www.toddyproducts.com, and it's quite easy to use.

Off-highway vehicle (OHV) accidents claimed at least 504 lives in the U.S. in 2015, according to data collected by the Consumer Federation of America (CFA).
CFA and affiliate organizations maintain a database of fatalities to raise awareness of how dangerous these vehicles can be if not operated properly.
The information comes from from news reports and other sources collected by CFA's Off-Highway Vehicle Safety Coalition which is composed of ATV safety advocates, academics, and medical professionals. The group says 504 fatalities may be an underestimate.
While most people are familiar with all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), the category of OHV also includes recreational off-highway vehicles (ROVs) and utility task vehicles (UTVs).
Other types of off-road vehicles
ROVs are off road vehicles that have four or more low pressure tires, bench or bucket seating, automotive type controls, rollover bars, occupant restraints, and a maximum speed over 30 mph.
UTVs have the same design elements as ROVs, but UTVs have maximum speeds of 30 mph or less.
The CFA says most of the OHV deaths occurred on roads in 2015. Despite the fact that these vehicles are specifically designed to be used off-road, 58% of the fatalities last year occurred as the result of highway accidents. That's about the same percentage as in 2014.
The percentage of victims under 16 increased from 18% in 2014 to 21% last year. Eleven percent of the fatalities were under age 12, up from 9% in 2014.
Not for children
"This new data once again reinforces CFA's key safety messages for OHVs: do not operate OHVs on roads; and these vehicles are not toys; do not let children operate vehicles that are too large and powerful for them to control," said Rachel Weintraub Legislative Director and General Counsel for Consumer Federation of America.
In 2013, CFA raised an alarm, saying more states have modified traffic laws to allow ATVs on public roads. In a report, the organization evaluated laws from all 50 states and the District of Columbia and found that despite warnings from manufacturers, federal agencies, and consumer and safety advocates that ATVs are unsafe on roadways, for several years an increasing number of states have passed laws allowing ATVs on public roads.
Information from ATV manufacturer manuals, required warning labels, and consistent messages from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) unambiguously warn against the operation of ATVs on public roads.
Not designed for highways
The design of ATVs makes them incompatible with operation on roads. ATVs have high centers of gravity, and narrow wheel bases, which increase the likelihood of tipping when negotiating turns. The low pressure knobby tires on ATVs are explicitly designed for off-road use and may not interact properly with road surfaces.
CFA's Michael Best says the new data underscores the need to keep OHVs off the highways, as their name implies.

Attended the 9:30 am Sunday mass (the only mass offered there). The church itself, the wonderful choir, the integration of Latin via the singing were the highlights. The sermon was good but very long. Communion was a surprise....everyone kneeled at the altar rail to receive communion. Overall, a very pleasant Charleston experience!
Enjoyed mass during our vacation. Such history in this building.
Enjoyed homily by an African priest with enthusiastic message of hope. Left inspired.
Interesting graveyard outside of the church is worth a short walk after.
Very traditional mass & celebration of the eucharist.
Sunday Latin Mass was amazing. The church is the oldest Catholic Church in the Carolinas and Georgia. One can feel the history when entering this intimate church, beautifully decorated. A must especially for Catholics.
We went on Easter Sunday and the line was out the door. If you want to go on a holiday, you need to arrive about an hour early. Also, seating in general is limited. The church is beautiful. Everyone takes Communion by kneeling at the alter. A great way to receive as a family.
So happy we chose this church for our Easter Mass. Beautiful church! It was heartwarming to see it packed! There is a parking garage just around the corner and they will validate parking if you show them the church bulletin.
This beautiful, inspirational church in Charleston is definately worth the trip for faithful Catholics. The French influence is very obvious the the building and its design. It is worth the trip
This is the oldest Catholic Church in Georgia and the Carolinas. The inside of the church is beautiful with paintings and stain glassed windows. Sunday service welcomes visitors and hosts a great reception in the church hall after mass.
One of the smallest yet most beautiful churches in Charleston. The inside is amazing! The paintings on the walls and ceilings are something to behold--I could stare at them all day. And pews a creaky--and short--and hard--all which add to the ambiance of this holy place. I have been to many weddings and masses here and it never gets old....
Be sure to stop by and tour the grounds. The church itself is also beautiful. There was a tour when we were there so spent more time outside.
Get there early for Mass, tiny cozy church-built in the early 1800's. I felt welcomed and loved. Instead of fighting the traffic downtown at the Cathedral, which is still nice, there is a lovely church right in central downtown off Meeting.

With DS2 I have been able to hear the difference much more easily almost since day 1, and he's 12 weeks old now. I can hear pain, tired, uncomfortable/gassy. Not all the time but a lot of the time.

In February 2014, the Ethics Institute of South Africa (EthicsSA) released the results of an opinion survey on Chinese business in Africa. "Africans are generally negative about the impact of Chinese business on the continent," EthicsSA announced. "This is the key finding."
By now, even though the findings surprisingly contradict other public opinion surveys which are generally positive about China's impact in Africa, and they have been cited multiple times by reporters and researchers, I have never seen any critique of the selection and confirmation biases in their (pretty flawed) methodology.
In the past week I have seen this study cited yet again by two papers, including a draft working paper by one of our SAIS-CARI research teams — which reminded me that this blog post — which I see I've started and abandoned four times (!) is way overdue.
The EthicsSA team are no doubt good folks, but their report has severe methodological weaknesses that should lead any researcher to treat it not as a proper public opinion survey, but as an excellent example of selection and confirmation bias.
Of course, as a researcher, when I got my first alert about this survey, I went to the full report. It is immediately obvious that it is a bit hard to say something like "Africans are generally negative" on the basis of data primarily from three countries (the online survey had 1056 respondents, mainly from South Africa, Nigeria, and Kenya). But this may be the least of the significant flaws of the study.
"Selection bias is the selection of individuals, groups or data for analysis in such a way that proper randomization is not achieved, thereby ensuring that the sample obtained is not representative of the population intended to be analyzed (Wikipedia)."
Is this a representative sample of "Africans" or even the population of the three countries where the survey mainly took place?
Hardly. The full report notes that the researchers elicited responses from 15 African countries — via the internet — but received low response rates. Here's how they did it:
"Invitations to participate in the survey were extended to contacts of the Ethics Institute of South Africa (EthicsSA) and of Globethics.net in the respective countries. … The initial objective was to achieve a representative sample for each of the participating countries. However, reliance on only the networks of EthicsSA and Globethics.net in the participating countries and on the media to encourage participation were insufficient to attract the required response. Thus, the data collected was not representative of the populations of the participating countries. The only countries that produced sizable samples were South Africa (299 respondents), Nigeria (197 respondents) and Kenya (204 respondents).
So how did this method of attracting respondents bias the sample?
The report notes that the "low response rate can partly be attributed to the online format of the questionnaire. In many African countries, internet access still remains a luxury rather than the norm."
And in keeping with the fact that internet access is "a luxury," the report notes that 54% of the respondents had post-graduate degrees, while another 27% had university degrees. For Nigeria, this bias was even more pronounced with 74.5% of the respondents having post-graduate degrees, and 24% graduate degrees: i.e. 98.5% of the Nigerian respondents were very highly educated. So now we know that very highly educated Nigerians, South Africans, and Kenyans — and perhaps foreigners living in these countries who are on their contact lists — do not think positively of the Chinese presence.
But there's more: who are these highly educated respondents?
Recall that the Ethics SA sent invitations to participate to their (highly educated, internet-savvy, deeply concerned with ethics) contacts and those of Globethics.net in the respective countries. This creates even more bias. One might call it confirmation bias.
2. Confirmation Bias
"The tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms one's preexisting beliefs or hypotheses, while giving disproportionately less consideration to alternative possibilities (Wikipedia).
To see how confirmation bias worked in this survey, imagine the US Chamber of Commerce doing a survey on free trade by sending it out only to its subscriber list.
And imagine the same survey sent to the subscriber list of an important trade union group, American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO).
Then imagine either organization issuing a press release saying: "Americans are generally … [negative/positive] … about free trade."
Now you can see how providing a questionnaire to one's own contact list is likely to reach a biased sample — of people who are likely to confirm your own beliefs, rather than alternative beliefs.
3. Other Problems
The report had other problems. Let me mention two. There was no effort to find out if those surveyed actually had direct experience of a Chinese company in their country, or had direct experience of Chinese-built infrastructure. Yet they were asked questions that presumed some prior knowledge. This led to some strange responses.

It's always hard for markets to jump over new hurdles. On one hand, the stock market is nearing new multiyear highs on optimism that the economy may avoid some of the dour projections that have kept stocks in check for the past few months. Yet with most of the second-quarter earnings season over, investors will inevitably start worrying about third-quarter results, and many companies have either missed revenue estimates or guided future projections downward. That tug-of-war makes for some choppy days in the stock market, and today is one of them, with the Dow Jones Industrials

It holds food, it looks nice, it's tough, easy to pack, and it's even easier to clean! Absolutely love it.
It's a bowl and it holds your food like any other bowl does. Super easy to clean which is awesome.
Great bowl, great color, great size, and its easy to clean.
Great durability like most lexan bowls. this is a little deeper than the older lexan bowl which is nice for bigger portions, but makes it difficult to lick out if you're trying to minimize your dish washing.

lol that piece is right on
But I had to add another misogynist discussion point - Feminists have hurt the women's movement with their OTT opinions and actions and have ruined it for the non-hairy of the female persuasion... WRONG. Have seen this little jewel thrown around by a number of misogynists some of them women. Without the femos, women wouldn't be able to vote, use contraception or have marital rape seen as a crime. Far from ruining things, feminists have made things so much better for women of today, although of course there is still work to be done.

LOve it!
Love that. Totally bingoes some of the nonsense arguments I hear from time to time.
We need a clapping smilie!
Ha! Those arguments sound incredibly familiar *ahem*
Love it
Yelclap Yelclap Yelclap
So true. and frustrating. and true
Oh I forgot about
Oooo she's a bit bitter. Most of it is BS and has no backing up except "Well I said it's like this. So there!" The classic feminist tanty, after they can't think of anything to back their argument up.
There is quite obviously a biological difference between men and women. Denying that is pure stupidity.
Googling a simple, non-targeted phrase such as 'sociological difference between men and women study' or 'male and female emotional difference study' gets plenty of results, from, quote, "pop science" papers like...ahhh...Harvard University.
Yes, very unreliable, that world renowned science department
I also like how she brings the race card into it. "Would that sentence be as benign if we replaced gender with race?" Yes, actually, it would.
Once again, do your google thing and find how many studies there are on the biological differences between African Americans, Caucasians and Asians, to name a few.
"I'm not a racist, so I won't do any research into it. And if you look into it, and prove me wrong, you're a racist!" is a pretty weak excuse and a pathetic attempt at diversion.
Quote. "To be more specific, women who agitate for their own liberation are only allowed to do so once they've fixed all the things that make men sad, thus making them stronger and even more powerful."
Oooo, bitter bitter. In this, she's saying straight up that caring about men's mental, emotional or physical health is a direct threat to women's wellbeing.
How so, Ms Ford?
So if I, for example, donated money towards Sickle cell anemia research, that would threaten my progress in life as a Caucasian. No, it's called being caring and helping others, even if it has no effect on my life.
I wouldn't trust her to give cpr to my son, as his survival might threaten her daughter's future.
Quote "But what they're really defending is their belief that women belong in the home, performing dull domestic tasks for the primary benefit of everyone other than themselves"
So it's okay to say that women who stay home are slaves and mindless drones, but not okay to say that working women are money driven.
I'm sure most SAHM don't see their jobs as being unpaid lackeys. Most of us enjoy taking care of the home, cooking healthy meals for our families, raising our children and improving the home environment.
Quote "ascribing false honour to drudgery is how you reinforce invisible social power"
I'd love to hear her defence of this statement if the example was one working lesbian and one stay at home lesbian. No no, but because there's no man involved, it's not drudgery, it's choice.
Tell a SAHM that she's a slave and has no choice in life. Tell her that caring for her children is a sign that she's enslaved. Tell her that enjoying her SAH life is just a sign of her being an emotionally beaten idiot who can't possible make decisions about what she enjoys.
If she was working a 9 to 5 job, sure, that would be enjoyment. But she can't possible enjoy being a SAHM, because Ms Ford doesn't enjoy it.
Ms Ford is telling women what they should enjoy in life. Sounds oddly like....oppression, doesn't it? Strange how it isn't oppression when it involves a woman telling a woman what to do with her life.
I wouldn't be clapping about anything this sexist moron says.
