From “Please Mr. Gravedigger,” the theatrical closing number on his 1967 self-titled debut album, to virtually every track on his final record nearly 50 years later, the protean musician mused perpetually on all matters of mortality: the loss of loved ones (“Jump They Say,” about his brother’s suicide), the apocalyptic end of the world (“Five Years”), his own impending passing.

The document reviews Australian and international planning guides to identify key elements important in planning for station access. Best practice elements were identified for inclusion in an access planning methodology for the Australian context. An evaluation framework featuring a checklist of station access principles associated with each access mode is provided to assess existing station access. Case studies are presented from Brisbane, Perth, and Sydney so as to illustrate the framework. This document presents a new perspective for Australian rail agencies, including access in the overall design process and provides a best practice approach, building on available station access-related planning in Australia and developments in Europe and North America.

The 33-year-old singer, whose hit “Lmaallem” has been viewed more than 660 million times on YouTube, was detained on Tuesday over an alleged incident in a Saint-Tropez hotel. Lamjarred, who denies the allegations, had al- ready faced rape accusations in October 2016 and April 2017. So- cial media activists have started campaigning to silence Lamjarred under the hashtags #masaktach (“we will not be silenced”) and #LamjarredOut. Arabic-language website Hesspress on Wednesday posted a caricature of the singer in vanishing black ink against a Parisian backdrop next to the slogan “Salina, salina,” (it’s over, it’s over), the title of one of his love songs. The station Radio 2M said on Twitter that it had stopped promoting Lamjarred’s songs over the latest rape charge, while Hit Radio said it would poll its listeners Saad Lamjarred to decide on whether to keep his music off the air. — AFP In this file photo the jacket worn by Harrison Ford’s character Newcomer Shah battles with Han Solo in the ‘Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back’ film is on Thai fans nabbed for show at the Imax in central London and will be auctioned. — AFP rock big guns Arctic Monkeys he jacket worn by loveable Star Wars scoundrel Han sneaking into airport to Solo in “The Empire Strikes Back” as well as Indiana TJones’s signature fedora are among rare movie mem- for Mercury Prize orabilia going under the hammer in London yesterday.
