The Public Power Council is formed to give a voice to publicly owned utilities in the Northwest. PPC represents and advocates the common legal and technical interests of the Northwest s consumer owned utilities. [Pg.1249]

Although the new Duke of Orleans was the wealthiest man in Europe, he was wildly popular with the French public. The house of Orleans had been the liberal voice of France for 150 years. Cousins of the French kings, the dukes opposed the monarchy s absolute power and the Catholic Church s monopoly on education and supported the aspirations of the growing middle class. Radicals talked of making the new duke regent or even king. [Pg.4]

After Orleans execution in November 1793, his vast properties became state property and Leblanc s factory was seized. Three months later, Leblanc faced even more distressing news. With war threatening, the Committee of Public Safety called for patent holders of soda processes to publish their methods A true republican does not hesitate to relinquish the ownership of even the fruits of his mind when he hears the voice of his... [Pg.9]

Chairman Mark Santucci opened the floor for public comment soon after the issue was raised, and for the next two hours the public took advantage of the opportunity. An estimated 375 local residents turned out for the meeting, and nearly 200 of those present stepped to the microphone to voice their views. [Pg.123]

Wind power has been slowed by public opposition. In 2002, a citizen s group in Prince Edward County, Ontario, vetoed a small windfarm project on the coast of Lake Ontario near Hillier. They proposed that the 22 proposed wind turbines would be noisy, kill birds and harm the neighborhood by being too visible. These are common complaints about wind-farms, but at a distance of about 200 meters, the sound of a windfarm is faint. At closer distances the noise is similar to the sound of an airplane s engine from inside the cabin. Even under the spinning blades it is possible to converse in a normal voice. One Dutch study showed that a small wind-farm is less harmful to birds than 1-kilometer of road or powerlines. [Pg.211]

The inspector of meats exchanged glances with his mother. Rumors You come here to repeat rumors Neither facts nor evidence, merely scuttlebutt and tittle-tattle I can gather a bellyful of that at any time from the sharks in the Ghetto Nuovo or the fish skinners of the Pescaria. His voice was the resonant trumpet of a trained orator and I was a public meeting. [Pg.50]

It was precisely in the context of public policy debates over the proliferation of surface coal mining that the long-latent public health concerns in relation to coal mining were finally given voice. In contrast to the extended discussions in the 19th century of employee health issues in underground coal mines, the many debates over the merits of opencast developments in the second half of the 20th century barely mentioned the occupational health of the surface miners. Rather, the focus was squarely on the impact of the opencast mine on the local environment, and in particular the health and quality of life of nearby residents (Beynon et al. [Pg.174]

Evaluation is based on individual improvement in voice production and speech delivery. Clearly enunciate and articulate—and relax ... [Pg.345]

There has been an increasing worldwide public outcry to know what residues and contaminants are in the food supply, and a demand that food be free of residues that could have an impact on the public health. A simplistic but often voiced concept is that edible animal products should be only consumed when all administered drugs and drug-related residues have been totally eliminated. For some time in the past, this concept seemed to guarantee the highest degree of food safety as animal products destined for human consumption were found to be free of drug residues by the analytical methods applied at that time. [Pg.270]

By Truck. Motor vehicle shipment of hazardous materials is covered in Dept of Transportation Tariff No 11 (Ref 4). Motor vehicle shipment is more complex than rail shipment. A train is made up of many cars watched over by an engineer in front and caboose personnel behind. The engineer is in voice communication with the tower the railroad controls traffic over its route and provides trained inspectors. In contrast, each truck is an independent unit. It has no control over traffic on the public highway and the driver must cope with any situation which may arise. Hence, drivers of hazardous materials are given careful training and detailed instructions, and the vehicle is carefully inspected for safety (lights, brakes, etc) and compliance with local laws (wt limit, etc)... [Pg.286]

A growing number of communities are enacting right to know laws. These laws require that public officials, health workers, plant workers, and in some cases the general public, be kept informed of hazardous materials produced, used, or stored within the community. In addition, state and federal laws often give local citizens an effective voice in how those laws will be applied within their community. [Pg.313]

National Institutes of Health, 1989] National Institutes of Health (1989). National strategic research plan for hearing and hearing impairment and voice and voice disorders. Technical report, National Institutes of Health. NIH Publication 93-3443. [Pg.556]

We should, therefore, not allow ourselves to be thrown off track by a few loud voices uttering general fears of chemical products and chemical production. Nevertheless, particularly on such subjects as product and plant safety, we must make planned and realized improvements dear to the public - and we do so in our very detailed annual Responsible Care Report - to further increase their understanding and acceptance of the realities of our industry. [Pg.365]

Also, on June 23, 1995, the nationwide TV news show heute of the ZDF (German public Television 2) felt called on to write a short story reporting that the diplom chemist Germar Rudolf had been sentenced to 14 months imprisonment without probation on account of an expert report on the gas chambers of Auschwitz. Since as the media outside the local region had reported almost nothing on the case previous to this, the normal television viewer would hardly know what to do with this very brief piece of information. Therefore, the report can have had only one purpose It should be made clear to every potential technical witness Republic-wide that those who voice views about the Holocaust complex that deviate from those officially allowed— however factually correct, reputable, scientific and perhaps even professionally correct—will be thrown in jail without probation. [Pg.397]

In a democracy, the people are the sovereign. Should the voice of the people become the voice of God not only with respect to power, but also partly with respect to infallibility, care must be taken that the people are comprehensively and truthfully informed. In this modem information age, the media play the central role in forming the public will. For this reason, it must be guaranteed that the people are comprehensively and truthfully informed. [Pg.402]
