moms are becoming single and this is causing hateness an jealousy in our society think if any school going child is with is mom only and if his friend and teacher ask him about his father he will feel shame and guilty about that thing instead which can create problem in his future life.
holinda forfeited this round.
Some parents prefer also not to keep with them. Now single mom is bad as I said that this effects the child's mentality also which is harmful for our society.There is also option of remarriage which I think is good but not best solution

monogamy and crime would go up, as no one would have two, permanent parents to help guide the child and help them with life and to tell right from wrong. In fact, I remember reading an article about crime and I noticed that people who become criminals often come from broken homes, or have only one parent. Not to mention all the stress a single parent has to go through just to provide the bare basics, such as food and housing. In today's crappy economy thanks to Obama, There is almost no chance a single parent would have a good enough chance to have AND keep a good, high paying job. Two parents are best because the combined income is usually more than enough to provide the basics and more.

During 2002, Norman Walker approached Dr Mark Clinton, Site Director of the excavations at Carrickmines Castle and asked him if he would provide photographs and commentary of the work taking place. It was agreed that a number of aerial photographs of the site would be provided in exchange for the information. This was readily agreed and the information in the following sections was made available with the kind agreement of Valerie J Keeley Limited, Archaeological Consultants.
The initial aerial photography took place at 10.00AM and proved to be so successful that another aerial pass was completed at 4.00PM the same day. The sunlight and shadows within the photographs allowed the archaeologists to identify the extended boundary of the site – something that had eluded them until that time, due to the pressure of time as the M50 works were getting ever closer. Both parties were winners!

Norman also requested that the photos were of immediate interest to visitors to the website and I think they achieved that objective.
I took the aerial photographs included in the later sections, using my own camera. They show the extent of the Carrickmines Castle site and the general layout of the the M50 tracing it's way through the area. The photographs provided to Dr Clinton were taken by a professional photograper using camera equipment suitable for use in a helicopter and were extemely detailed and of a very high quality. Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce them here.

This year's Opening Night Gala is a moving true story of courage under profound difficulties, by first-time director and acclaimed British actor Andy Serkis.
Director: Andy Serkis
Producer: Jonathan Cavendish
Screenplay: William Nicholson
Staring: Andrew Garfield, Claire Foy, Hugh Bonneville, Tom Hollander
Starring Andrew Garfield and Claire Foy, this compelling directorial debut from Andy Serkis is an inspirational love story about two indomitable people who defy the odds and pave the way for change. When dapper and adventurous Robin Cavendish (Garfield) meets self-assured Diana (Foy) at a cricket match, a whirlwind romance ensues. Soon after their wedding, they set out for Nairobi where Robin works as a tea broker. But their new life together takes an abrupt turn when he contracts polio and is given only weeks to live. Determined that her husband's life should not be restricted by medical and social prejudice, Diana ignores all advice and breaks him out of hospital. With the support of her twin brothers (both played by Tom Hollander) and friend Teddy (Hugh Bonneville), an Oxford professor who invents a wheelchair with a respirator attached, Diana creates an environment in which Robin can thrive and he goes on to lead a long and full life.
Based on the true story of producer Jonathan Cavendish's parents, William Nicholson's (Les Misérables, Gladiator) screenplay is emotionally and socially resonant, foregrounding the relationship between this courageous, witty and determined couple, while illuminating the broader impact they had on progressing mobility and access for people with disabilities. Serkis, who is world-renowned for his innovative and intensely physical performances, proves a similarly buoyant director, adopting a spirited and playful style that matches Cavendish's infectious levity. Featuring terrific performances from its stellar cast – with Garfield and Foy especially vivid – Breathe was shot by three-time Oscar® winner Robert Richardson (JFK, The Aviator, Hugo), and its rich visual texture is enhanced by Nitin Sawhney's emotive score. We are proud to be opening the 61st BFI London Film Festival with this powerful and affecting film that is also a beacon for remarkable British talent.

Director Dee Rees (Pariah) delivers a searing racial drama about two families – one white, one black – set in the Deep South in the 1940s.
Director: Dee Rees
Producers: Sally Jo Effenson, Cassian Elwes, Carl Effenson, Charles D. King, Kim Roth, Christopher Lemole, Tim Zajaros
Screenplay: Dee Rees, Virgil Williams
Staring: Carey Mulligan, Jason Clarke, Jason Mitchell, Mary J Blige, Rob Morgan, Garrett Hedlund
The friendship of two Second World War veterans ignites racial tension in Dee Rees' majestic epic about two families in the Deep South. Pariah marked Rees as a filmmaker of uncompromising originality and vision; Mudbound retains that distinct voice within a complex narrative about what sets us apart, and perhaps more so, what we all share. Adapting Hillary Jordan's novel, Rees weaves together multiple threads of two family histories: white farmers the McAllans and the Jacksons, black sharecroppers who lease a plot on the McAllans' land. Though a genuine ensemble of consistently impressive performances, Laura's (Carey Mulligan) story spurs the plot. With spinsterhood looming, despite being attracted to his debonair brother Jamie (Garrett Hedlund), Laura agrees to marry Henry McAllan (Jason Clarke), and he soon moves the family to the mud-caked Mississippi Delta. Meanwhile, Hap Jackson (Rob Morgan) and his wife Florence (a transformed Mary J Blige) struggle to make small gains sharecropping when the McAllans take their lease. As a post-war comradeship develops between Jamie and the Jacksons' eldest son, distinguished war hero Ronsel (Jason Mitchell), tensions with bitterly racist McAllan patriarch, Pappy erupt into violence. Rees skillfully draws these stories together, reflecting on how bigotry and intolerance serves no one – a message with fresh relevance given the rise of an emboldened far right in America.

R C Sherriff's acclaimed First World War drama reaches the screen in this all-star adaptation, directed by Saul Dibb (Bullet Boy).
Director: Saul Dibb
Producers: Guy de Beaujeu, Simon Reade
Screenplay: Simon Reade
Staring: Sam Claflin, Asa Butterfield, Toby Jones, Tom Sturridge, Stephen Graham, Paul Bettany.
Men await an attack in the trenches of the First World War in this outstanding, intensely claustrophobic adaption of R C Sherriff's 1928 play. Monday, 18 March 1918. C Company, led by Captain Stanhope (Sam Claflin) is about to take its posting on the front line. Intelligence suggests an imminent German attack and having been all but abandoned by the Commanding Officers, Stanhope knows there is little chance of survival. Trench supplies and munitions are depleted, as is the troop's morale. In these appalling conditions, each man's character is laid bare. An adroit cast offer performances of great depth and texture, from Paul Bettany's Osborne, the very definition of the English 'stiff upper lip', to Claflin's Stanhope, whose own shredded nerves are steeled with alcohol. But the shattered heart of the film is Asa Butterfield as Raleigh – the tender new recruit who ardently requested a placement in order to be close to Stanhope, his sister's fiancé. Saul Dibb's taut, confident direction is dread-inducing from the start – set in the cramped, stifling spaces of the trenches, foregrounding the tense personal dramas in Simon Reade's lean screenplay. Journey's End brings a fresh and powerful sense of this terrible war's cost to a generation.

Emma Stone and Steve Carell star in this playful true story of the 1970s gender wars played out on the tennis court, while the world watches.
Directors: Valerie Faris, Jonathan Dayton
Produced by: Christian Colson, Danny Boyle, Robert Graf
Screenplay: Simon Beaufoy
Staring: Emma Stone, Steve Carell, Andrea Riseborough, Sarah Silverman, Bill Pullman, Alan Cumming, Elisabeth Shue
The legendary 1973 tennis match between Billie Jean King (Emma Stone) and Bobby Riggs (Steve Carell) takes centre court in this rousing, playful and funny film from Valerie Faris and Jonathan Dayton (Little Miss Sunshine). The sexual revolution is in full swing and Billie Jean King is number one, but why won't the US Tennis Association respond to her call for gender equality? Together with the founder of World Tennis magazine Gladys Heldman (Sarah Silverman), she sets forth to lobby the Board, riled by the blatant discrepancy between the prize money offered to male and female players (sound familiar?). Faced with mocking resistance from the blokes in power, the women establish an alternative tournament (now the WTA). Initially buoyed by the success of their venture and the camaraderie of her fellow players, Billie Jean is soon thrown off her game by a blossoming romance with Marilyn Barnett (Andrea Riseborough), the arrival of title contender Margaret Court and an unexpected late night call from one-time men's champ, Bobby Riggs.
A seasoned hustler with a gambling habit and a wife (Elisabeth Shue) who is fast running out of patience, Riggs pitches a challenge match that King ultimately can't resist – 'male chauvinist pig versus hairy legged feminist!'. Simon Beaufoy's (Slumdog Millionaire, The Full Monty) agile screenplay mines the rich comic potential of this central rivalry while honouring the spirit, vulnerability and resilience of Billie Jean, whose off-court battle to come to terms with her own sexuality is at the pulsating heart of the story. Stone is radiant as the player whose impact on gender politics was as powerful as her legendary forehand, while Faris and Dayton deliver aces with another sprightly, enjoyably rebellious film that relishes the fallibility of its characters, as much as their triumphs and serves as an all too timely reminder of how far we still have to go.

Richard Linklater's ruminative comedy finds three men accepting that life isn't quite what it used to be.
Director: Richard Linklater
Producers: Ginger Sledge, John Sloss
Screenplay: Richard Linklater, Darryl Ponicsan
With Steve Carell, Bryan Cranston, Laurence Fishburne
Richard Linklater's knowing tribute to Hal Ashby's 1973 classic The Last Detail is both a droll, enjoyably shambolic road movie and a meditation on the futility of war. It's 2003 and Larry 'Doc' Shepherd (Steve Carell) walks into a roadside dive looking for Sal (Bryan Cranston), whom he hasn't seen since they served in the Vietnam War. A charming loudmouth with a flagrant disregard for authority, Sal is soon enlisted in Doc's get-the-gang-back-together quest. When they track down Mueller (Laurence Fishburne), they discover he has traded one uniform for another and is now a happily married preacher. The sobering reason for this reunion is revealed when Doc asks for help burying his own son who has returned from Iraq in a casket. Alternately serious and comedic, Linklater's screenplay was co-written with author Darryl Ponicsan, adapting his 2005 novel – itself a sequel to the book on which Ashby's film was based. But both the filmmaking and the charismatic cast ensure this film stands very much on its own. Linklater's ongoing fascination with duration, so materially imbedded in Boyhood, filters through between unspoken lines about the changing nature of warfare, the kind of men these veterans have become and their sense of responsibility to the past.

A rapturous study in passion and desire from the director of I Am Love and A Bigger Splash.
Director: Luca Guadagnino
Producer: Peter Spears, Luca Guadagnino, Emilie Georges, Rodrigo Teixeira, Marco Morabito, James Ivory, Howard Rosenman
Screenplay: James Ivory
With Armie Hammer, Timothée Chalamet, Michael Stuhlbarg, Amira Casar, Esther Garrel, Victoire Du Bois
In every way as languorous and seductive as its North Italian setting, Luca Guadagnino's (I Am Love, A Bigger Splash) adaptation of André Aciman's coming-of-age novel is a sun-kissed, cinematic ode to the ecstasy and exquisite pain of first love. Timothée Chalamet is riveting as Elio, a musically gifted 17-year-old whose idyllic summer break takes a tumultuous turn when Oliver (Armie Hammer) arrives to stay at the family palazzo. The physical embodiment of ancient Greco-Roman beauty, Oliver is an all-American doctoral student on a 6-week research trip working with Elio's father, an antiquities professor. While Oliver slips effortlessly into the heady rhythm of the Italian summer – al fresco dining, bicycle rides and midnight swims – Elio's casual flirtation with local girlfriend Marzia (Esther Garrel) is soon eclipsed by a more sensual, volatile attraction. From Elio's renditions of a Bach capriccio to The Psychedelic Furs' anthemic Love My Way, this is a film that luxuriates in classical art, poetry and music as much as it relishes the candy-colored new romance of its early 80s setting. Guadagnino, working from a screenplay by James Ivory, lingers on fleeting moments of desire, jealousy and affirmation, giving a sublime depth to Elio's transcendent and ravishingly queer awakening.

Master of things that go bump in the night, Guillermo del Toro spins the compelling tale of friendship between a mute woman and an amphibious creature.
Director: Guillermo del Toro
Producers: Guillermo del Toro, J. Miles Dale
Screenplay: Guillermo del Toro, Vanessa Taylor
Staring: Sally Hawkins, Michael Shannon, Richard Jenkins, Doug Jones, Michael Stuhlbarg, Octavia Spencer
Drawing on classic 1950s sci-fi B-movies and the on-going fascination with Area 51 conspiracy theories, Guillermo del Toro's sprightliest tale of the inexplicable is an old-school cinematic joy. At the height of the Cold War, in a secret US laboratory, a young, mute woman begins to communicate with a strange, aquatic creature. Elisa (Sally Hawkins), whose only friends are her gay artist neighbor (Richard Jenkins) and a fellow cleaner (Octavia Spencer), is alarmed by the behavior of research head Strickland (a deliciously cruel Michael Shannon), who sees the creature as nothing more than an oversized lab rat. A fellow scientist (Michael Stuhlbarg) of dubious connections is decidedly more curious, especially when he sees a bond forming between Elisa and the creature. Intertwining sci-fi, horror and gothic romance to spellbinding effect, del Toro's singular vision is enhanced by Dan Laustsen's (Crimson Peak) vivid cinematography and Alexandre Desplat's hypnotic score, which runs the gamut from high-wire thrills to the stirringly romantic. Hawkins, always the most empathetic of actors, is a marvel and she ensures that Elisa's fierce desire to fight for what's right never eclipses her sense of innocence. Love takes many shape-shifting forms and this intoxicating film is a pure celebration of tolerance and human connection.

The true story of the love affair between Gloria Grahame and young, aspiring actor Peter Turner,
Director: Paul McGuigan
Producers: Barbara Broccoli, Colin Vaines
Screenplay: Matt Greenhalgh
Staring: Annette Bening, Jamie Bell, Julie Walters, Kenneth Cranham, Stephen Graham, Frances Barber
Annette Bening and Jamie Bell vividly bring to the screen the intense romance between Hollywood icon Gloria Grahame and her much younger lover. In 1981, decades after she rose to fame in Hollywood, the Academy Award®-winning star of The Big Heat, in a Lonely Place and The Bad and the Beautiful, Grahame (Bening) is treading the boards in a modest theatre production when she collapses in a Lancaster hotel. Her health failing, she reaches out to former lover, Liverpudlian actor Peter Turner (Bell). When Peter takes her back to his family home, to the care of his sympathetic mother (Julie Walters), memories of their grand affair soon come flooding back. Adapted from Turner's own memoir, Paul McGuigan's consummate study of a truly extraordinary relationship is filled with humor, passion and insight, effortlessly capturing the connection, both emotional and physical, between the pair. Flying dazzlingly in the face of the 'fading star' epithet, Bening eloquently portrays a woman who will not compromise her professional ambitions or her desire for personal happiness. And Bell, revelatory in the role, is more than a perfect match in this bracingly romantic and irresistibly sexy love story.

For those who loved the biting satire of Yorgos Lanthimos' The Lobster, he returns with another electrifying critique of bourgeois values.
Director: Yorgos Lanthimos
Producers: Ed Guiney, Yorgos Lanthimos
Screenplay: Yorgos Lanthimos, Efthimis Filippou
Staring: Colin Farrell, Nicole Kidman, Barry Keoghan, Raffey Cassidy, Sunny Suljic, Alicia Silverstone
Interlacing elements of Greek tragedy, surrealism and absurdist horror, Yorgos Lanthimos' follow-up to The Lobster (LFF2015) is a deliciously twisted and slyly macabre morality tale. Steven (Colin Farrell) is a wealthy cardiothoracic surgeon who lives a harmonious existence with his ophthalmologist wife Anna (Nicole Kidman) and their two children Kim and Bob. Unbeknownst to his magazine-perfect family, Steven has formed an odd friendship with fatherless teenager Martin, to whom he brings gifts and offers financial support. When Steven decides to introduce Martin to his unsuspecting family, the sinister intentions of this strange young man become frighteningly clear. Shot with cool precision by cinematographer Thimios Bakatakis, the film exudes a clinical calm that is in keeping with Steven and Anna's professions, but very much at odds with their mounting domestic horrors. The stellar cast delivers unnerving, deliciously off-kilter performances with young Irish actor Barry Keoghan a revelation as the malevolent interloper. The pitch-black script by Lanthimos and regular collaborator Efthimis Filippou (who jointly won the best screenplay award at the Cannes Film Festival) shifts allegiances with a slipperiness that belies the film's relentless, irreversible story logic. A wickedly perverse riff on the myth of Iphigenia, Steven too will discover that all actions have consequences.

Smaller doesn't mean simpler, as Alexander Payne points out in this hilarious satire that manages to keep the laugh rate high while engaging with a wealth of topical issues.Top of Form
Director: Alexander Payne
Producers: Mark Johnson, Alexander Payne, Jim Taylor
Screenplay: Alexander Payne, Jim Taylor
Staring: Matt Damon, Christoph Waltz, Hong Chau, Kristen Wiig
Alexander Payne (Nebraska, LFF2014) puts climate change, mobility and immigration under the microscope in this utterly bewitching satire starring Matt Damon. In a future that could very well be right now, Norwegian scientists discover a method for shrinking people to pocket-size as part of a grand design to limit humanity's footprint and save the world. Five years later, a thriving parallel 'small' economy has evolved, complete with lifestyle choices and luxury miniature communities. Beige, work-a-day Paul Safranek (Damon) wants to scale-up his options by sizing-down, but things begin to go awry when wife Audrey (Kristen Wiig) gets cold feet. Payne and regular collaborator Jim Taylor started work on Downsizing's wildly inventive screenplay between the making of Sideways (LFF2004) and The Descendants (LFF2011), and this lengthy gestation has seen its underlying topicality become even more urgent and relevant. Immediately shedding its sci-fi skin – just as its protagonists must discard hair and teeth to become small – this is precision, high-concept filmmaking that ripples with wry observational humour and seamlessly integrates its visual effects. Damon, superb as the bewildered everyman, is supported by an appropriately florid Christoph Waltz and a captivating Hong Chau, playing an illegal immigrant who arrives in a parcel.

Lynne Ramsay journeys with Joaquin Phoenix into the mind of an ex-soldier gun-for-hire whose own demons are as brutal as the actions of his adversaries.
Director and Screenplay: Lynne Ramsay
Producers: Rosa Attab, Pascal Caucheteux, James Wilson, Lynne Ramsay
Staring: Joaquin Phoenix, Ekaterina Samsonov, Alessandro Nivola, Alex Manette, John Doman, Judith Roberts
Lynne Ramsay's stark inversion of the noir thriller is a devastatingly brutal portrayal of one man's battle with repression and abuse, anchored by a rage-fueled, Cannes-winning performance from Joaquin Phoenix. Joe (Phoenix) is a Gulf War veteran and former FBI agent turned killer-for-hire, specialising in saving victims from child sex rings and living at home with his ailing mother. When Nina, a US Senator's daughter is kidnapped, he is contracted to dispense with the perpetrators and save the girl (Ekaterina Samsonov is hauntingly good). Having located Nina in a seedy New York brothel, Joe's escape plan suddenly derails, unleashing a maelstrom of violence that ultimately takes him deeper into the hallucinatory darkness and closer to the truth. Working from Jonathan Ames' 2013 novel, Ramsay (who jointly won the best screenplay award in Cannes) is more concerned with the psyche of her unhinged protagonist than she is with the action, and she eschews the spoken word in favor of Phoenix's eloquent, line-ravaged face. Reuniting several of her key collaborators on We Need to Talk About Kevin (Best Film, LFF2011), her taut, syncopated cinema is intensified by Jonny Greenwood's pulsating score, Thomas Townend's expressive camerawork and razor-sharp editing from Joe Bini who rejects exploitation, cutting away from the action rather than to it.
Odeon Leicester Square
Martin McDonagh's third feature is a scabrously funny drama about the battle between a grieving mother and the local head of law enforcement.
Director and Screenplay: Martin McDonagh
Producers: Graham Broadbent, Peter Czernin, Martin McDonagh
Staring: Frances McDormand, Woody Harrelson, Sam Rockwell, Abbie Cornish, John Hawkes, Peter Dinklage
Martin McDonagh's follow-up to Seven Psychopaths (LFF2012) is a characteristically pitch-black comedic drama featuring a blistering central performance from Frances McDormand. It's been seven months since her daughter was murdered and foul-mouthed, tough-as-nails Mildred Hayes (McDormand) is fed up. Fueled by grief and outraged that the investigation has gone quiet, she provokes the local police department with a series of messages plastered on three disused billboards outside her home town of Ebbing, Missouri. So begins a rapidly escalating and very public feud between Mildred and venerated community leader and family man, Chief Willoughby (Woody Harrelson). The situation is exacerbated when blundering side-kick, Officer Dixon (Sam Rockwell) gets involved. Just as unhinged as Mildred, but with a significantly lower IQ, Dixon's penchant for violence is stoked by his leaden, borderline psychotic mother to whom he is unhealthily attached. McDonagh's screenplays are consistently audacious and his sleight-of-hand here is to make the victim (or more accurately, the victim's mother), a righteous, nasty woman who is just as hell-bent on rebuffing sympathy as she is on getting justice.
Like many of McDonagh's best and most profane characters, Mildred has a fibrous moral code. Her indignant blustering is frequently triggered by social injustice and small-town bigotry – 'it seems to me that the police department is too busy torturing black folks to solve actual crime' – and her increasingly reckless actions are prompted by a deep-seated sense of guilt and regret. McDonagh's latest exploration of the American psyche is by turns riotously funny and deeply sobering, cutting to the quick of social division and tearing to shreds – like the tattered billboards that Mildred papers over – the all-American dreaminess of the Capra-esque small town. A universally splendid cast is rounded out by Abbie Cornish, Peter Dinklage, John Hawkes, Clarke Peters and Caleb Landry Jones.

I construct and segment my perception to match my social and cultural environment. (Mary Tyler-Moore)
The general characteristics of human nature participate in the work of elaboration from which social life results. But they are not the cause of it, nor do they give it its special forms; they make it possible. Collective representations, emotions, and tendencies are caused not by certain states of consciousness of individuals but by the conditions in which the social group, in its totality, is placed individual natures are merely the indeterminate material that the social factor moulds and transforms.1
Notice, first, that the generation of culture is a social activity. A solitary human mind can not secrete culture.2

Where the fuck is all this leading me? I cant do this anymore! (Sienna Miller)
Straying is the original (if unintended) act of demystification, on which reveals the coercive nature of the prescribed path, the straight and narrow. The path we thought we were on by choice we are in fact on by arrangement, and in straying we discover alternative ways to alternative futures.
We find evil conceptualized simultaneously as, on one hand, a foreign force or agency at once alien, antithetic, and hostile; on the other as an inner deviation, the more insidious for having departed from the true, its point of departure from within the true being also point of contact for the perversion of the true.

My mind forms the point of convergence of your historical lines of reference. (Liz Hurley)
A culture-led process, acting over a long period of human evolutionary history, could easily have led to a fundamental reworking of human psychological dispositions.1

I look to the side as you advise that my cultures foundations rot, is this on sale? (Oprah Winfrey)
It is an excruciating experience to watch the planet fall apart piece by piece in the face of persistent and pathological denial. The situation is reminiscent of Rhinoceros, a play written in the 1960s by Eugene Ionesco. The plays main character, Berenger, and his girlfriend, Daisy, watch with dismay as, one after another, their fellow towns people turn into Rhinoceroses. What makes this surrealistic comedy so deeply unsettling is that, except for Berenger and Daisy, the remaining humans in the town refuse to see these transformations. They simply will not acknowledge the fact that, one by one, their colleagues are turning into animals.

Ive got my eyes on you cunt! (Kim Basinger)
To contain and control deviance, and thereby to master it, is to supply fresh and dramatic proof of the enormous powers that are behind the social order. The visible control of deviance is one of the most effective mechanisms by which a social order can tangibly display its potency. The act of harnessing things that are dangerous helps to revitalize the system by demonstrating to those who live within it just how awesome its powers really are.
The work of policing boundaries crucial to maintaining of social domination boundaries of country, race and class is effaced and dissolved into the a priori internal regulation of nature.
The expiation that once rained down upon the body must be replaced by the punishment that acts in depth on the heart, the thoughts, the will, the inclinations. Mably formulated the principle once and for all: punishment, if I may put it, should strike the soul rather than the body
a new character came on the scene masked. It was the end of a certain kind of tragedy: Comedy began, with shadow play, faceless voices, impalpable entities.

Identity categories have come to be considered complicit in the very structures that their assertion was intended to overthrow.
Identity categories tend to be instruments of regulatory regimes, whether as the normalizing categories of oppressive structures or as the rallying points for a libratory contestation of that very oppression.

I think we are dealing with an octopus. We have become the creatures of these people. Advertising as news, its very skilfully done. The methods of seduction in the media are far more sophisticated, and the money thats going into it, and the ingenuity of the spin, has reached the point where we, as a general public, have never been lied to by such sophisticated means as now. And, of course, this completely compounds the modern notions of transparency, and instant communication, its instant brain washing.

My transient points of obsession are symbolic of your cultures collective psychosis.(Nicole Kidman)
Immediately recognisable, immediately replaceable, that is the ideal, since in a world that is measured in nanoseconds our minds are trained to be impatient; our attention span is brief We must be hungry for the next thing even while the present object is still being consumed. The appeal to our interest must never command so much loyalty or affection that the object of it can not be replaced.

Stars, lies and propaganda have become the stock in trade of public life, distorting reality, unhinging trust in institutions and corroding confidence. Who can you trust? Who can you believe? Messages are now so massaged and refined that the raw material is sometimes unrecognisable.

The spin doctor has the opportunity to sculpt the terrain on which public debate occurs and to play the puppet-master, crafting the words and images that create the future. And it is a craft because spin doctors are doing more than just spinning a web to catch our minds. The application of spin is subtle work....1

A Lowcountry bus driver accused of driving impaired had more than a dozen students on the bus when he was stopped in Newberry County Sunday, according to the S.C. Highway Patrol.
Troopers pulled the bus over on S.C. 34 in Newberry County just after 7 p.m. Sunday after they saw the bus traveling east in the westbound lane with no headlights, according to Sgt. Bob Beres. The bus was stopped at the on-ramp to Interstate 26 East.
Bus driver Brent Patrick Carter, of Goose Creek, was charged with DUI, Beres said. He had a blood-alcohol content of .18 percent.
The students were turned over to school district officials, and the Department of Social Services was notified, Beres said.

Teragro is committed not only to providing cost effective alternatives to Nigerian fruit juice producers, but also to growing the Nigerian economy by finding productive uses for fruits and foods that would otherwise be wasted as a result of sub-optimal distribution and consumption. Strategic expansion is planned for the design, construction, and installation of our new production plant, which is estimated to be over five times the size of our existing facility. We are also in discussions with several state governments in Nigeria, forging collaborations for agribusiness ventures in rice, cassava, tomato, cocoa and palm oil production.
The Farmers Initiative
Since its inception, Teragro has prided itself on working with local farmers to include them in the production process. The benefits of this collaborative effort are twofold: farmers who register with Teragro are guaranteed a regular source of income, and our ties to the local farming community are strengthened. Through our work with the farmers, reports show that the amount of waste generated has been significantly reduced.
The Employment Initiative
Understanding that we have a responsibility to the local community, Teragro is committed to ensuring that a majority number of our workforce is employed from within the local area. We strive to ensure an even balance within our employees of both men and women.
At Teragro, investing in our people is just as important to us as our production processes.

Hi Guys,
So today I have a review for you and I am super excited as this product is fantastic. It's the Laura Mercier Crème Smooth Lipstick in Rose.
This product is amazing, it oozes luxury and delivers on just that. 'Rose' is one of the new shades Laura Mercier has released. It's a reddy coral shade and it looks flawless on the lips with its high pigmentation meaning it's a one swipe lipstick. I love that this lipstick is so pigmented and I don't need to apply a multitude of layers to get the colour right.
It's a creamy lipstick, however, unlike most creamy lipsticks, this doesn't fly off the lips or move around easily. This lipsticks stays put and its also very moisturising. It kind of doubles as a lipbalm and lipstick which is great value for money! There is one thing which may turn a few people away from this lipstick and that is that it doesn't have a matte finish. However, if you wanted to get a matte finish I suggest just dabbing the lips with powder. The wear life on this product is amazing. I have tested it over a 10 hour working day and only had to touch up once which is incredible.The packaging screams luxury and exclusivity. Its sleek packaging is sturdy and not flimsy like some lipstick packaging.
Me applying the gorgeous lipstick
This product retails for $35AUD and I think that's an extremely fair price for the quality of product you receive. Will definitely be picking up more colours from the range.
Swatches of 'Rose'
Overall, I rate this product highly and if the other colours from the range are as gorgeous as 'Rose' I may just have to buy the whole collection.
Until next time..
While I am not here blogging you can find me on..

You'd have to be Dr. Seuss' Grinch to hate Christmas but it does feel like the festive season is getting earlier every year. It's only the start of November and yet all the Halloween decorations hanging up have immediately transformed into Christmas ones, particularly at retail stores.
While Christmas is an exciting time of year, it can also be an exhausting and draining one, and that isn't helped by the relentlessly cheery songs we choose to soundtrack it.
Now experts have confirmed that it simply isn't good for your health to be exposed to that level of distilled Christmas spirit.
'IT'S CHRISSSSSTMMASSSSS!' Not yet it isn't, mate. Credit: PA
"People working in the shops at Christmas have to [tune out] Christmas music, because if they don't, it really does stop you from being able to focus on anything else," clinical psychologist Linda Blair told Sky News.
"You're simply spending all of your energy trying not to hear what you're hearing."
In other words, if you think it's bad enough doing the Christmas shop at Tesco having to endure Wham!'s 'Last Christmas' for the zillionth time, just imagine being the shelf stacker that has to listen to those queasy synths and jingle bells 24/7. For two whole months.
Although we haven't even had Bonfire Night in the UK yet, retailers have a financial incentive to start the festivities early.
That's why they begin incorporating Christmas songs into their playlists this soon - as a psychological trick to encourage their customers to get buying those gifts.
"Our Christmas music gets integrated into the music that we play, so by the time you get into the middle of October maybe we're having one Christmas song out of four," said Gary Grant, founder of the UK's biggest independent toy retailer, The Entertainer.
"Now [in the start of November] we're probably one out of two, and in a couple of weeks' time we'll be all Christmas music, because it sets the tone."
Credit: PA
While the trick might work to rake the money in for the rest of 2017, that doesn't account for the effect all those Christmas songs might have on staff's mental health.
It's something to bear in mind about Christmas music - whether you think November is still too soon to start blaring out Slade or whether you've already crafted your perfect Christmas playlist.
So if you wish it could be Christmas every day, just spare a thought for those hard-working shop staff who probably really, really don't.

Desk. Monday , February 05th , 2018 - 14:46:04 PM
People sitting a lot will definitely have an increased risk of heart disease, diabetes, and early death. Moreover, sitting for a very long time won't burn many calories. In fact, lots of studies have linked it to obesity and weight gain. Today, this is the major problem of office workers since they often sit throughout the day. Good thing there are standing desks these days.
Desks made of plastic can have any shape, and even the most whimsical, and any color, as well. They are light and quite strong. Plastic desks don't require special care and they are not very expensive. The only thing, that you should trouble about is to demand from the seller a certificate, that confirms the correspondence of the desk to sanitary norms.
The next material for desks is glass. True, they make desks entirely of glass quite seldom, they mostly use combinations of glass with metal or rarer with wood. Glass desks look light, they visually don't take up much space in the room. Glass is perfectly resistant to small scratches and it is not afraid of moisture. The biggest disadvantage of glass is its fragility. True, there are special glasses, they are very strong, made by special technologies, as glasses for cars. Buying a glass desk, demand a certificate about the strength of the glass, used in it.

PFF-Suzuki Cup Visayas Reg'l Qualifying Round set April 15
By Jerome S. Galunan Jr.
It's all systems go for teams seeing action in the Philippine Football Federation-Suzuki Cup Visayas Regional Qualifying Round set to kick off on April 15-20, in San Carlos City, Negros Occidental.
Football contingents include host Negros Occidental Football Association (NOFA), Iloilo Football Association (IFA), and Cebu Football Association (CFA).
This was confirmed last Friday by Cyril Dofitas, head of the PFF Competition Department, during a press conference held at the San Julio Realty, San Carlos City and attended by Mayor Gerardo Valmayor, Jr.; Suzuki Philippines general manager Shuzo Hoshikura; Dick Emperado, chairman of the PFF Competitions Committee; Paulline Javelona, NOFA secretary-general; and John Carmona, San Carlos City Football Club secretary-general.
According to Dofitas, the decision of hosting the tournament in San Carlos is to provide a venue which is closer to the competing teams, yet can provide a good crowd.
"We don't underestimate other areas, but we would like also to come up with the community involvement as requested by our major sponsor – the Suzuki. And, San Carlos is an ideal place for competition at the regular level," he explained.
"In the finals, we will have Cebu being the center in the Visayas region, likewise, of the Luzon and Mindanao. Moreover, it was also considered the number of crowd as validated by the last Philippines-Singapore friendly," he added.
Dofitas said in the regional matches, a double round-robin format shall apply with the top two teams advancing to the final qualifying round in Cebu on May 20-25.
During this round, the other top two teams from Luzon and Mindanao will be joining the cast of six squads which will be divided into two groups. The teams in each bracket will be playing in a double round-robin format to determine which top two teams from each group will advance in the semifinal matches, still in Cebu, on May 27-28.
In the semifinals, the top four squads will be playing in a home-and-away format while the top two teams after the semifinals will compete in the finals, still on a home-and-away format./

Why You Need an Experienced Railroad Derailment Lawyer When You Suffer Injuries or Lung Damage From a Train Wreck
No one can feel completely safe when a train goes off the tracks. "Train wreck" did not become shorthand for a disastrous situation for no reason.
As Virginia-based railroad injury lawyers for going on 40 years, we have seen firsthand some of the worst results from train derailments. We helped several victims of the Norfolk Southern chemical train crash in Graniteville, South Carolina (SC), that released a massive cloud of deadly chlorine gas. We also secured a $60 million award for a man who suffered permanent brain damage after a train literally flew off its tracks and crashed into the gas station service building in which our client was working.
- A Brief History of Railroad Injury Law in Virginia
- Dangers From Trains Transporting Chemicals, Oil Ever-Present
The people most likely to get injured or killed in train derailments are, of course, crew members, track workers and rail yard employees. When on-the-job accidents occur, railroad staff have undeniable rights to file claims for the payment of medical bills, lost wages, disability costs and, in the worst cases, funeral expenses and wrongful death settlements.
Railroad workers who get hurt or killed while on duty are covered by the Federal Employers Liability Act. Usually shortened to FELA, the law does much of what state workers' compensation laws do for workers in other industries. The biggest difference is that when a railroad refuses to settle a work-related injury or death claim, the rail employee or the employee's family must file a federal lawsuit. The case itself can be heard in a state court, but it is essential to hire an attorney who has national experience with handling FELA lawsuits.
A few reasons for this include the following:
- Federal safety laws control the actions of railroads and violating those laws automatically creates liability.
- Obtaining critical evidence and company records often requires filing requests under the federal Freedom of Information Act.
- How to identify the types and locations of records and evidence that might be destroyed or lost will not be obvious to someone working their first FELA case.
- Most railroad companies operate across state lines, giving them resources a law firm that only takes local cases will lack.
Perhaps most importantly, knowing the railroad company usually proves invaluable in successfully countering the arguments and obstructionism of the defense team in a FELA lawsuit. An attorney who has spent decades fighting for the rights of rail employees will have many connections inside a company who can confirm details about a derailment and corporate policies and procedures. An experienced FELA attorney will also be able to call upon a broad range of experts to conduct investigations and testify on his client's behalf.
If you need information regarding your legal rights after any type of railroad accident involving injuries or deaths from a train derailment, crash or release of toxic chemicals, please contact our law firm for a free and confidential consultation.
Florida Supreme Court Takes FELA Case Involving Railroad Worker Death
Almost 10 years after a CSX railroad conductor died in a remote part of Florida as he worked for the railroad, the Florida Supreme Court has agreed to take up a lawsuit about CSX Transportation's duty to provide medical assistance.
The widow of the deceased train worker, Larry Sells, appealed to the FL Supreme Court after the First District Court of Appeal ruled for CSX in the medical negligence case. Sells died from a heart attack in August 2006 after he went to manually operate a track switch in a remote part of Clay County FL.
A co-worker found him within two minutes and called CSX for help, but the dispatcher could not clearly communicate where the stricken man was, and the EMTs did not arrive for 35 minutes.
The lawsuit alleges that CSX did not provide a safe workplace, which should have included a lack of automated external defibrillators.
The First District Court of Appeals sided with CSX last May, stating that while CSX did have to provide prompt medical treatment once it knew the man was ill, it did not have a duty to take measures in advance to prevent such an emergency situation.
However, the widow's attorneys argued that CSX breached its duties under the Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA) and that the appeal court ruling could have serious repercussions throughout the US.
The brief filed by the plaintiff's attorney stated that the appeals court decision could be used by FELA employers in state and federal courts to support their failure to take preemptive measures to ensure their workers get quick medical care in an emergency.
Driver Killed When Train Hits SUV in Chicago
Police stated this week that a woman from Arlington Heights IL was killed when her SUV was struck by a commuter train.
The driver was going southeast on Northwest Highway and was crossing railroad tracks when she was hit by a Union Pacific Northwest train at Euclid Avenue. the SUV caught fire after the crash and was pushed by the train for several blocks. No one else was injured in the crash.
Our Virginia railroad accident law firm has seen many needless deaths occur at railroad crossings over the years. One of the common problems at railroad crossings is that trees, shrubs and vegetation are not properly maintained and this can lead to obstruction of sight lines.
Our Virginia rail crossing law firm uses retired railroad employees as investigators in incidents such as they above. In this sort of case, we would send investigators to the scene of the crossing. We often represent clients who were hit at a railroad crossing and often can prove that appropriate safety measures were not followed at the railroad crossing.
For example, in one Virginia railroad crossing accident, we sent investigators to the crossing and carefully examined the trees, vegetation and brush around the area. Our client stated that he could not see the train at the crossing until the very last moment. Our railroad accident team studied Virginia common law as well as potential jury instructions and various other circumstances, and made a demand for settlement from the man's insurance company and also Norfolk Southern. This resulted in a settlement amount in excess of $100,000.
1 Dead After Train Hits Car in Jacksonville FL
One person died in Jacksonville FL when an Amtrak train slammed into an SUV that was straddling the tracks last week, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
The police stated that the train hit the Chevrolet Tahoe at approximately 7:20 PM on Jan. 14. The driver of the SUV died after he was taken to a local hospital. According to witnesses, the driver apparently stopped on the tracks due to traffic.
No passengers or anyone else was injured in the crash. Police continue to investigate the accident.
Our research and experience as railroad accident attorneys in Virginia and North Carolina tells us that 31% of railway fatalities occur at railroad crossings.
Despite what some people think, most train crossing crashes do not occur because the driver was trying to cross the tracks before the train got there. In fact, many railroad crossings are 'passive', meaning that they do not have gates or flashing lights. At many of those crossings, the driver is supposed to watch and listen for train. However, many of these railroad crossings have poor visibility. That was the case in one of our train crossing crash cases, where a Norfolk Southern train appeared suddenly and hit our client's car, which caused serious injuries to his two children.
A study was done of train crossing crashes, and sight obstruction was found to be a problem in 689 crashes, which led to 87 deaths.
Active railroad crossings with flashing lights and gates also can be made to be safer. One problem with them is the warning time may be too long, which makes drivers impatient and they may drive around the gates. Sometimes the gates and flashing lights do not work properly, which opens the possibility of a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit.
FRA Scrutinizes Railroad Merger Due to Safety Concerns
Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd. wants to merge with Norfolk Southern Corp., but federal regulators in the US worry that mergers of large railroads could lead to railroad safety concerns.
The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) regulates rail safety in the United States, and is looking carefully at the proposed merger, as it scrutinizes safety worries that could result when such large railroad companies merge.
Some of the challenges include the combination of the safety cultures of two different companies. Specifically, FRA wants to know which company's safety rules and protocols would be followed first, and how to build the newly combined workforce so that communication channels remain open.
FRA may not block a railroad merger; the Surface Transportation Board must approve it. However, the FRA does work with railroads on safety integration plans to make sure that safe operations continue when a merger occurs.
One of the major safety concerns is related to oil train safety. The last few years have seen several fiery derailments of oil-laden trains that led to serious injuries and deaths. One of those cases occurred in Lynchburg VA, where an oil train derailed and spilled thousands of gallons of crude oil into the James River.
Our railroad injury attorneys are pleased that the FRA is looking carefully at this proposed merger and is ensuring that public safety takes precedence above all else. Our experience with railroads in personal injury lawsuits tells us that such large corporations are quick to put profit ahead of safety at times.
In a record setting $60 million verdict in a train derailment case, we represented a man who suffered terrible injuries when a Norfolk Southern train derailed and crashed into his gas station. Even though it was obvious from the huge amount of evidence we brought to the case that the railroad was clearly at fault, Norfolk Southern denied responsibility for a full year.
Anyone who suffers an injury in any kind of railroad accident should know that the railroad often will try to deny responsibility, so it behooves you to consult with an expert railroad personal injury attorney in your area about the case. Look for a law firm that has a record of multi-million dollar settlements and verdicts in train accidents and derailments.
Switchman Who Loses Leg Sues Railroad
A former switchman for Tacoma (WA) Rail has filed a lawsuit against the railroad. He contends that the railroad created a dangerous railroad work environment that contributed to the accident that caused him to lose a leg.
Nathan Johnson, 45, from Fife WA, is seeking damages for his pain and suffering, lost wages and medical expenses. An earlier claim with the city showed that he is seeking $6 million.
The lawsuit claims that he was trying to climb into a moving rail car when he fell partially under the train. The suit further states that Tacoma Rail actively encourages employees to climb onto and off moving trains to get work done faster and to reduce labor costs. Further, the claim states that the safety appliance on the railroad car were inadequate and in violation of the Federal Railway Safety Appliance Act.
Our extensive experience in Virginia and North Carolina as railroad accident attorneys has shown that railroads often will try to avoid their liability for workers' injuries on the job. We have represented many railroad workers who have been badly injured on the job, and have been pleased to reach large settlements and verdicts for our railroad worker clients.
One of the most important things we want to stress is that railroad workers should not be afraid to take legal action against a railroad whose negligence may have led to your injury. In reality, there have been many successful personal injury lawsuits in recent years against railroads. Consult an expert railroad personal injury attorney in your state and the results can be highly favorable.
27 Pedestrian Rail Deaths In Washington State Prompts Safety Campaign
The number of pedestrian rail fatalities in Washington state climbed to 27 in 2015, rail officials stated this week, which has prompted a new safety campaign to warn people about the dangers of railroad tracks and crossings.
The new goal for 2016 in the state is zero railroad fatalities. Nationwide, Washington is ranked #9 in train fatalities from Jan-Sept 2015, which is the most recent data available from the Federal Railroad Administration. California was tops on the list with 119 deaths, and Texas was second at 50 deaths.
Fatality risks tend to climb due to the number of trespassers on tracks, improving train technology that makes locomotives quieter than ever, and also based upon the number of trains running per day in a given area.
According to the state's Utilities and Transportation Commission railroad safety supervisor, the major problem is with trespassing. "People don't grasp that it takes a mile for a full sized freight train to come to a stop,' he told the press this week.
Bad weather can make it harder for pedestrians to see or hear trains approaching as well. And there was more warm weather in the state last summer, which may have led to more people walking near railroad tracks.
In addition to the 27 pedestrian deaths, there also were two drivers who died when their vehicles were struck by trains at railroad crossings. There also were 104 non-fatal incidents on railroad tracks in Washington state in 2015, which led to cuts and bruises, and amputations in the worst cases.
Most of the accidents and deaths that occurred were on BNSF owned railroad tracks, which owns over 50% of the railroad lines in the state.
Because of the high number of deaths and injuries, the state chapter of Operation Livesaver is going to increase its number of safety presentations at schools and produce more radio and TV ads to warn of the dangers of walking near railroad tracks.
As personal injury lawyers in train-pedestrian accidents, we often see railroads and the government claim that these types of tragedies are 'trespassing accidents.' The public may not be aware, but it is the responsibility of the railroads to maintain railroad tracks and keep them safe. Fencing off railways and trestles in areas with high foot traffic is vital to keep people from walking on train tracks. If you have a loved one who died walking on train tracks, know that the railroad does have responsibilities to keep high traffic rail lines safe. The railroad track is actually private property, and most railroads do little to mitigate these risks. Talk to a personal injury lawyer to learn about the responsibilities of railroads in maintaining their property safely.
19 Year Old Killed at Train Crossing in Idaho
A nineteen year old died last week in Kuna, Idaho, when a train slammed into his car at a railroad crossing at more than 50 MPH.
The local police stated that Peter Francois was struck by the train at a crossing in Kuna ID at a crossing on Black Cat Road. They also stated that the Union Pacific train was going 55 MPH when the wreck happened.
It is unclear why the man did not stop the car at the railroad tracks. The police stated that there is a stop sign at the crossing. There is no crossing arms or flashing lights at the location, however. Police said that it appeared that the train engineer did follow the mandated protocol of blasting its horn before the crossing.
While the number of train crossing accidents have fallen greatly in the last 30 years, most that still occur are in rural areas. Rural crossings are not usually required to have crossing arms and flashing lights.
Unfortunately, railroad crossing accidents still are quite common, even though there are far fewer these days than decades ago. Our railroad accident attorneys in Virginia and North Carolina know that the majority of these accidents do not happen because the car driver is trying to beat the train. At passive rail crossings that have no flashing lights or gates, drivers have to watch carefully for train traffic. However, we have found that in many cases, drivers do not have a clear view to the left and right at the crossing.
One of our clients was going over railroad tracks in Virginia when a train suddenly appeared and slammed his car into a ditch, which led to a sizable settlement.
There have been studies of train crashes at railroad crossings, and it was found that sight obstruction from 2001 to 2005 had led to 87 deaths at the crossings. States have been quite slow to inspect railroad crossings and to remove all obstructions. If they did so, perhaps there would be fewer of these senseless tragedies. Anyone who has had a loved one killed at a train crossing should consult with an experienced attorney, because there are cases where the accident was not the driver's fault.
More Passengers File Lawsuits Against Amtrak
A Philadelphia law firm stated this week that it will seek punitive damages in lawsuits filed for six more passengers in the deadly Amtrak derailment last May.
The law firm, Baum, Hedlund, Aristei & Goldman, stated that the complaints that were filed in federal court will be consolidated with others that were filed earlier this year.
The law suits allege that the accident could have been avoided if better safety precautions had been implemented by Amtrak.
Eight people died and 200 were hurt in the May 12 derailment. The train entered a curve at double the 50 MPH speed limit.
Last week, Amtrak announced that it had activated a new safety system on that part of the track. The system is called positive train control or PTC. It is a complex package of equipment and communications upgrades that monitor and control speeds of trains and locations to prevent collisions and derailments.
Anyone who has suffered an injury in a train derailment will have a lot of questions about how to proceed in the legal sphere. Our team of railroad accident lawyers has handled many train derailment personal injury cases in the last 30 years. One of our lawyers wrote a leading treatise on railroad health and safety that sits in most major law libraries.
We also reached a $190,000 settlement in a case where our client was an employee in train transportation service, and the train derailed. Parts of his body hit the train, and he started to have headaches and tingling in his right arm after the accident. The case was tough to settle but with our tenacity and experience, we were successful.
We have written two excellent legal guides on railroad worker injury law that could be useful to you if you have a loved one who has been injured in a train accident. You can download these helpful railroad injury guides here.
FRA Pushes for Fast Upgrades to Train Safety Systems
The head of the Federal Rail Administration (FRA) promised to be aggressive in urging railroad companies to install newly mandated safety systems as soon as possible, even though Congress moved the deadline back to 2018.
The safety system is called Positive Train Control or PTC, and was supposed to be operating nationwide by the end of 2015. Its widespread use could prevent terrible derailments such as the Amtrak crash last May that killed eight people in Philadelphia. Railroads were behind schedule, so Congress decided to give them three more years to install PTC.
The FRA head, Sarah Feinberg, urged this week that railroads should not delay until the last possible moment to install PTC. She urged them to make it their goal to be first across the goal line. She added that the public deserves the added safety features as soon as possible.
The rail administration stated that it will have additional details on how it will approach the new PTC deadline in the coming weeks.
Train derailments are often completely avoidable tragedies that could have been prevented if the railroad had done proper maintenance on equipment and had followed all federal rules and regulations.
Our train accident legal firm worked on a derailment of an Amtrak train in 2000 in South Carolina where a street sweeper jumped a street curb and went up the CSX train tracks and damaged the tracks. An Amtrak train came along and hit the street sweeper, resulting in a derailment that injured passengers and employees.
Our legal team went to work on this very complex derailment case. We studied the damage to the sweeper and we brought in an accident reconstruction engineer. We also did a land survey, took measurements and pictures of the accident scene and much more to build our case.
Our theory was that a lack of a full ballast section allowed the sweeper to hit the cross ties and metal rail of the train tracks. Eventually, we proved that the track damage that led to the derailment would not have occurred if the ballast section had not failed to meet the specifications of CSX.
This case went through two appeals, and eventually CSX and Amtrak paid to settle this very complex case. While the street sweeper did have some liability for the accident, poor safety and maintenance on the part of the railroad companies did contribute to the accident.
Needless to say, we strongly support all railroads installing vital safety equipment to prevent derailments – as soon as possible.

I didn't grow up in a place remotely connected to Hockey, yet she did such a great job with this poetry that it makes me feel an empathic nostalgia for someone else's memories. She's struck a chord of recognition in the space between us and that is the hallmark of a really successful storyteller.
The naive, youthful righteousness over the autographed stick; the puck-stealing dog; tying in the seriousness with which a whole population take their sport; their cultural centers, memories, and loves.
I feel a heart-tug on the line speculating that a future girlfriend will be asking about a scar on his chin: a reminder of days of youth he carries with him and in having to explain it, re-visiting those places and people again and again.

Twice, Robert C. Embry Jr. tentatively embarked on campaigns to become mayor of Baltimore. Twice, he changed his mind. Now, he is president of the Abell Foundation, spending the foundation's money on school reform, health care, economic development -- and arguably shaping the city's social policies as much as any mayor ever has.
With $150 million in assets and $7.5 million to give away each year, Abell is not the city's biggest foundation. But it is the most aggressive.
Abell's work is visible everywhere: The contraceptive Norplant is widely available in city clinics. Baltimore's nascent marine technology center got start-up funds. A blue-ribbon state panel studied tax reform. Educators are experimenting with all-male classes for black pupils.

|how do i rid my lawn of quack or barnyard grass without killing the rest of my lawn???
|You must be aggressive in dealing with quackgrass, since it is aggressive in your yard. Unfortunately, there are no selective herbicides for quackgrass and with its rhizomatous root system, it is almost impossible to pull. The only real alternative in dealing with quackgrass is killing it with a nonselective herbicide such as Roundup or Finale. Keep in mind that these herbicides will kill anything with leaves, so apply them carefully.
Quackgrass, like crabgrass, leaves thousands of seeds in the lawn for the new season. Pre-emergence herbicides, such as crabgrass preventers, will inhibit germination of quackgrass seed. Such seeds germinate as the soil temperature reaches around 55-60 degrees in spring, so timely application is important.
