Beyond expressing a conviction or aspiration relating to a concrete legal situation, they seem to \u2018speak themselves\u2019. With this phrase I do not refer to the lack of supportive evidence or arguments, although that may also be the case. I rather suggest that expressions, such as \u201csocial progress and better standards of life in larger freedom\u201d (Preamble UN Charter), refer to some type of progress that occurs in a manner independent from subjective judgment. This idea of progress is not a political one that is made up by the author of its statement based on ideological grounds but, rather, it can be found unfolding before our eyes in a world out there. For progress to be \u2018true\u2019 it must not be invented or concocted by the author of a text (let it be an individual, institution, group, or the \u201cfounding fathers\u201d). For progress to be \u2018true\u2019 it needs to be merely recorded or, at best, discovered by the author of a progressive discourse. This is a very important point that is often missed. Although we all have different ideas about what true democracy is and how to achieve it, we all think that achieving more democracy means progress for society because there ultimately is such a thing as democracy (democratic institutions, democratic processes, etc.) which transcends our individual definitions and constitutes a greater good, irrespective of (or even against) our views. Similarly, \u2018true\u2019 progress needs to have some properties that transcend the subjectivity of the author and exist in some objective (immanent, obvious, true, neutral, universal, transcendental, etc.) dimension. Something is progress not because I say so but because it is so, regardless of whether I say so or not. Beneficiary must be not only the author of the claim but also a totality (e.g. international community, humankind, civilization, etc.). This is certainly the case with the UN Charter\u2019s Preambular commitment to \u201csocial progress and better standards of life in larger freedom\u201d but also in debates about more international law, more democracy, more rule of law, more human rights, more international criminal law, more international tribunals, and so on. Progress may be realized by an author institution, but it may also occur without and beyond the author. The use of a notion of progress that \u2018speaks itself\u2019 is a legitimating rherotical move. The content of one\u2019s claims is automatically placed beyond the test of internal critique, a critique of internal contradictions and gaps. In certain international law debates, it seems to be \u2018a general truth\u2019, or \u2018beyond doubt\u2019 that some developments have an intrinsic claim to be considered positive for international law or for society at large. When a world war came to an end in 1918, disposition existed to push out along new lines, and remarkable progress was made over a period of years. Intelligence and zeal were devoted to current problems of international life on an unprecedented scale, and some advance was made towards a proscription of force. If a larger measure of success did not attend these efforts, it was due to a variety of causes [\u2026]. The experience demonstrated that no scheme of organization and no method of procedure can be enough in itself. Enduring progress requires a sustained willingness of peoples to pursue common effort.20 One will immediately counter-argue that there is nothing wrong with using a notion of progress that \u2018speaks itself\u2019 in this way. The absence of the \u201cI\u201d of the author in our texts could be a mere narrative or aesthetic convention, imposed by our specific professional culture! It is not necessarily reflective of a commitment to objectivity. It is not about pretending that one\u2019s", "snippet_links": [{"key": "international-law", "type": "clause", "offset": [68, 85]}, {"key": "relating-to", "type": "definition", "offset": [195, 206]}, {"key": "refer-to-the", "type": "definition", "offset": [294, 306]}, {"key": "lack-of", "type": "clause", "offset": [307, 314]}, {"key": "the-case", "type": "definition", "offset": [375, 383]}, {"key": "type-of", "type": "definition", "offset": [530, 537]}, {"key": "the-author", "type": "definition", "offset": [673, 683]}, {"key": "based-on", "type": "clause", "offset": [701, 709]}, {"key": "an-individual", "type": "clause", "offset": [905, 918]}, {"key": "at-best", "type": "definition", "offset": [1029, 1036]}, {"key": "very-important", "type": "definition", "offset": [1101, 1115]}, {"key": "definitions-and", "type": "clause", "offset": [1443, 1458]}, {"key": "the-claim", "type": "definition", "offset": [1889, 1898]}, {"key": "the-un", "type": "definition", "offset": [2014, 2020]}, {"key": "commitment-to", "type": "clause", "offset": [2042, 2055]}, {"key": "rule-of-law", "type": "clause", "offset": [2192, 2203]}, {"key": "human-rights", "type": "definition", "offset": [2210, 2222]}, {"key": "criminal-law", "type": "clause", "offset": [2243, 2255]}, {"key": "the-content", "type": "clause", "offset": [2490, 2501]}, {"key": "a-general", "type": "clause", "offset": [2682, 2691]}, {"key": "to-be-considered", "type": "clause", "offset": [2765, 2781]}, {"key": "at-large", "type": "definition", "offset": [2828, 2836]}, {"key": "new-lines", "type": "clause", "offset": [2917, 2926]}, {"key": "over-a-period-of-years", "type": "definition", "offset": [2961, 2983]}, {"key": "no-scheme", "type": "clause", "offset": [3281, 3290]}, {"key": "organization-and", "type": "clause", "offset": [3294, 3310]}, {"key": "method-of-procedure", "type": "clause", "offset": [3314, 3333]}, {"key": "professional-culture", "type": "clause", "offset": [3702, 3722]}, {"key": "a-commitment", "type": "definition", "offset": [3760, 3772]}], "samples": [{"hash": "bfVEDz96Idj", "uri": "/contracts/bfVEDz96Idj#the-problem", "label": "Not Applicable (Or Unknown)", "score": 17.0, "published": true}, {"hash": "2ffXWnKX5ev", "uri": "/contracts/2ffXWnKX5ev#the-problem", "label": "Not Applicable (Or Unknown)", "score": 17.0, "published": true}], "size": 2, "hash": "137027d716aafbf7e6733f0c9a148363", "id": 2}, {"snippet": "This operation changed in late 1994, when a pier on the south approach span to the bridge shifted as a train passed over, throwing the track out of alignment (see Figure 3). Conrail, which had seen freight traffic slowly decline on the NEC, chose not to repair the bridge, instead re-routing trains into an alternate yard in Newark, Delaware (\u201dChrysler Yard\u201d). Edgemoor Yard was essentially abandoned, and local freight to shippers north of Wilmington was handled via Philadelphia or moved through Wilmington\u2019s passenger station. Freight for and from southern Delaware, the Delmarva Peninsula (a peninsula divided between Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia \u2013 hence the name Delmarva \u2013 and separated from land to the west by Chesapeake Bay), and the Port of Wilmington moved from Harrisburg and points west via Perryville, Maryland, thence north on Amtrak\u2019s NEC to the Chrysler Yard and then via \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 to the Delmarva Secondary. Most traffic from the south moved north from Washington, DC on Amtrak\u2019s NEC to the Chrysler Yard, thence via \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587. The line between \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 and the Shellpot Bridge saw only train movements to and from the Port of Wilmington. The State of Delaware grew concerned that the awkward routing used by Conrail to serve the Port of Wilmington and the southern part of the state represented an economic cost in terms of foregone rail traffic, increased truck traffic, longer transit times and poorer service. The state has a program to subsidize rail service on two \u201cshort line\u201d (small) railroads and a general interest in moving more freight traffic by rail rather than on the highway. However, before the state could initiate discussions with Conrail executives, other events intervened. In 1996, CSX Transportation announced an agreement with Conrail\u2019s Board of Directors for CSX to purchase and merge with Conrail. Norfolk Southern Corporation immediately announced its opposition and mounted a hostile tender offer for Conrail stock. The bidding war to capture Conrail shareholders\u2019 favor eventually drove the price of Conrail stock to a total value of $10.4 billion. The Conrail Board of Directors in March of 1997 finally agreed to allow CSX to reach a separate agreement with NS that would permit the two railroads to acquire Conrail as a stock purchase7 and then split Conrail between them on the basis of long term leases of the assets. NSC received rights to 58% of the track mileage and CSXT to 42%.8 The two railroads decided what parts of Conrail would go to each. NS received all trackage within the State of Delaware, along with Conrail\u2019s \u201ctrackage rights\u201d9 on Amtrak\u2019s Northeast Corridor and the right to serve the Port of Wilmington. Railroad mergers and acquisitions require the approval of the Surface Transportation Board (STB), an independent economic regulatory agency organizationally housed within the United States Department of Transportation (safety regulation of the rail industry is handled by the Federal Railroad Administration, one of the modal administrations within USDOT). In implementing the broad public interest standard that governs its review of rail mergers, the STB is directed to consider a variety of factors, including the effect of the transaction on the adequacy of transportation to the public, the public interest of including other carriers in the area, the total fixed charges that would result, the interests of affected rail employees and the competitive impacts of the transaction. During the hearing process that follows a major rail merger application, presentations addressing the relevant criteria are made by the applicant railroads and also by other interested parties, such as labor unions, shippers, states, localities and other railroads. In addition to presenting their views on whether the transaction is in the public interest, these other parties may also seek 7 This stock acquisition approach to a three-party rail merger saved billions of dollars in possible tax consequences by avoiding an outright property acquisition of Conrail. 8News release, Surface Transportation Board, May 3, 1998. \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587://\u2587\u2587\u2587.\u2587\u2587\u2587.\u2587\u2587\u2587.\u2587\u2587\u2587/\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587.\u2587\u2587\u2587/29d1486804c22b1785256e59005e7e87/ab8be6dd79209f8f85256e8300 529cac?OpenDocument 9 Trackage rights is a term for an agreement under which one railroad runs on track owned by another.

Biofilms (algae) will not form on the Company\u2019s proprietary Nanoshield\u2122 Solar coating. Nanoshield\u2122 Solar is a self- cleaning product which washes away the dirt in rainwater through its hydrophobic properties. When Nanoshield\u2122 Solar Series is applied, a chemical reaction is created on the glass which causes a \"cross-linked\" and \"branched\" ultra thin silicone film (nanofilm) to be grown from the surface out. It then 'caps' the entire chain of atoms. This unique 'capping' substantially increases the hydrophobicity and durability, leaving chemically no points of attachment for contaminants thereby creating a truly repellent charge. Antistatic, larger particle sized debris such as dirt and sand simply slides off the surface. This makes Nanoshield\u2122 Solar suitable as a self-cleaning coating solution for both humid and dry climates. Nanoshield\u2122 Solar is designed to solve a major issue for solar panels, being the reduction of power output from panel surface debris. Using metal oxide nano sized particles, the Nanoshield\u2122 Solar range can also inhibit the growth of algae on the coated surface, a major issue for PV systems in humid climates.
