vegetation history — to mention only some — has made it impossible
to work... with common and well established definitions and methods.
" Scientists in different fields might use standards so different,
he said, "that comparisons between the results have been hardly
possible." Never forgetting that the the Civil Aviation Act that governs the
issuing of an Air Traffic Controller's Licence to a qualified holder,
opens with a statement within that licence that states... "Nothing within these rules and regulations will preclude the
licence holder from taking any action deemed necessary, on
the basis of safety first and expedition second" ... WHICH inevitably required an intricate understanding of the
integrated multi-disciplinary scientific nature of the the task
at hand, particularly with regard to and respect for the
Joint Civil/Military Upper Airspace Training that was then
required of the very first intake of Military & Civilian personnel. .

shortfalls in tills. The company ignored phone calls
and messages from sub-postmasters who raised
concerns about the system when it started flagging
unexplained shortfalls, the inquiry was told. The
Post Office pursued 844 individuals during the
period and secured 705 criminal convictions. Many
were offered plea bargains, which meant that they
were not allowed to mention the Horizon system,
the inquiry was told. Others lost their homes and
other assets after the Post Office used proceeds of
crime orders in an attempt to recover the alleged
shortfalls. One sub-postmaster told the inquiry that
the company tried to claim his pension. At least 33
victims of the scandal died while waiting for justice
and four of them taking their own lives.

NB Looking over the HorizonTony Blair was warned about the flawed Post Office Horizon computer system, The Telegraph can reveal.The Labour prime minister was told by officials in 1998 that Horizon was “increasingly flawed”, says a report to Sir Wyn Williams’s statutory inquiry into the scandal. During the 2000s and early 2010s Post Office managers wrongly prosecuted hundreds of their own staff for theft and fraud. As evidence, they cited flawed accounting records generated by Horizon, which the sub-postmasters used to run their branches.Despite having the option to renegotiate or cancel the government’s contract to buy Horizon, Mr Blair opted to continue with the project and even suggested giving its makers a bonus.

“Ladies and gentlemen,” said Mr Boehner, “this is one of history’s true love stories. Between a great statesman and a nation he called 'The Great Republic.’ ” The famously sentimental Republican wiped tears from his eyes as the crowd listened to a recording of Churchill addressing Congress following the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. Afterwards, Roger Daltrey of The Whos sang Stand by Me – a tribute, Mr Boehner said, to “the best friend the United States ever had ”.
All in all, it was a very American ceremony to celebrate the life of a very British icon.
So why do our transatlantic friends love a foreign former prime minister so much?
That love is undeniable and deep. In 1954, President Dwight Eisenhower said that Churchill
“comes closest to fulfilling the requirement of greatness of any individual that I have met
in my lifetime”. In the aftermath of the September 11 attacks, President George W Bush invoked
Churchill’s name when pressing the case for the War on Terror, and was rumoured to have been
given a private lecture by Martin Gilbert, Churchill’s biographer, in the White House. After newbie
President Barack Obama removed a bust of Churchill from the Oval Office, Republican presidential
candidate Mitt Romney made it an election promise to restore it. And when CEOs in 2013 were
polled for their “most admired leader”, Churchill topped the list – ahead of the likes of ...
Steve Jobs, Nelson Mandela and Ronald Reagan.
