Resale Restrictions The Bonds acquired by Canadian Purchasers hereunder may not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in any manner unless such sale, transfer or disposition complies with the resale restrictions of the securities laws of the Canadian Jurisdictions. Pursuant to applicable Canadian provincial and territorial securities laws, the Bonds acquired by a Canadian Purchaser hereunder will be subject to restrictions on resale until such time as: (a) the appropriate “hold periods” have been satisfied and such purchaser has complied with other applicable requirements, including the filing of appropriate reports pursuant to applicable securities legislation; (i) (b) a further statutory exemption may be relied upon by such purchaser; or (c) an appropriate discretionary order is obtained pursuant to applicable securities laws.

It was written in conjunction with four other papers studying World Trade Centers (WTCs) sites in Taipei, Amsterdam, Curacao and Portland (Oregon). These sites represent a cross-section of the various trade and economic environments that World Trade Centers operate in around the globe. Each of these studies examines the extent to which the owner/developer, the tenants and other regional public and private concerns have benefitted through their involvement with these highly specialized real estate developments. The New York World Trade Center is unique from all other World Trade Centers in several respects.

  • 3.5: Freight Movement
    3.5 Freight Movement 3.5 Freight Movement A. INTRODUCTION This section describes the characteristics of the existing rail freight services and railroad operators in the project area. Also addressed is the relationship between those services and Build Alternative long-term operations. The study area contains several rail freight lines and yards that play key roles in the movement of goods to and from the Port of New York and New Jersey, the largest port on the east coast, as well as in the movement of goods vital to businesses and residents in multiple states. However, no long-term freight movement impacts are anticipated with the Build Alternative, and no mitigation measures will be required. B. SERVICE TYPES The following freight rail services are offered in the project area: • Containerized or “inter-modal” consists primarily of containers or Example of Doublestack Train with Maritime truck trailers moved on rail cars. Containers Intermodal rail traffic is considered the fastest growing rail freight market, and is anticipated to grow in the region between 3.9 and 5.6 percent annually through 2030, based on the NJTPA Freight System Performance Study (see Table 3.5-1). • Carload traffic consists of products that are typically moved in boxcars, hopper cars, tank cars, and special lumber cars over a long distance by rail, and then either transported directly by rail or Example of Carload Rail Traffic shifted to truck for delivery to more local customers. The characteristics of these commodities (e.g., bulk, heavy or over- dimensional) make rail the preferred option for long-distance movement.

  • A Critical Review of the 9/11 Mysteries Viewer's Guide
    A Critical Review of the “9/11 Mysteries Viewer’s Guide” By Adam Taylor Version 1.0 Introduction: The film 9/11 Mysteries Part 1: Demolitions was one of the first professionally made independent films regarding alternative theories surrounding the events of September 11th, 2001.[1] In particular, the film focused on the numerous anomalies concerning the collapse of the WTC. The film was praised by numerous members of the so-called 9/11 Truth Movement: "Excellent. The best of the 9/11 movies." -- David Ray Griffin "WOW! is my reaction to this movie. Great insight into demolitions and what really happened on 9/11/2001." -- Steven E. Jones "An outstanding contribution to understanding 9/11. Simply superb." -- James H. Fetzer Regardless of this praise, many have also criticized the film based on allegations that the film presents false information, illogical fallacies, and cherry-picked sources. The most extensive criticism has been developed by a person named “Shane,” calling himself “The Doc” on the internet.[2] The Doc’s first criticism came in the form of a film called “Screw 9/11 Mysteries,” a version of the original film subtitled with comments by The Doc.[3] Over two and half hours in length, this edited version of 9/11 Mysteries critiqued practically every point of the film. Soon after, The Doc also developed a written essay titled “9/11 Mysteries Viewer’s Guide.”[4] This essay expanded on the points made in Screw 9/11 Mysteries, and is over 130 pages in length. The essay was made to refute the entire film, using the film’s online transcript.[5] 1 It should be noted that 9/11 Mysteries has also been criticized by other members of the Truth Movement as well.[6] The most extensive critique of the film by a proponent of the controlled demolition theory was done by software engineer Jim Hoffman.[7] I myself strongly disagree with several points the film makes.
