With the personal irregularities of individuals we disdain to interfere; but, in the next place, it is clear that a consummately correct and decorous style of conduct before the public, is essential to both public respect, and to that subordination within the walls necessary among the giddy multitude that make the company and servants of a great theatre.

Small things, inessential details, bulk as largely as before, and only time can clear them away; tragedy is at first bewilderment, hardly more than a sense of disquiet.

Probably the main reason that leachate enrichment was highest near the bottom of the aquifer beneath the landfill is that the heavier, leachate-rich water sinks by gravity as it moves out of the refuse, and not because it is displaced downward by freshwater from the surface.
1994, James M. Brannon, Tommy E. Myers, Barbara A. Tardy, Leachate Testing and Evaluation for Freshwater Sediments, US Army Corps of Engineers, Miscellaneous Paper D-94-1, page 23,
Two aspects of leachate generation from CDFs are of particular concern, leachate contaminant concentrations and leachate flow.

However, the development of this technology using constructed wetlands to treat landfill leachates has to be supplemented by investigations on the breakdown and pathways of the contaminants.

The NP's candidate was second in the Taipei mayoral context and the NP did well in the Taipei City Council race. Taiwan's new political party thus seemed to be off to a good start in winning support at the ballot box. Finally, the cause of democracy won.
As a consequence, we do not have the rich democratic culture and organizing that should be happening year-round, from the way that we select town councils and mayorships across the state of New York.
