It’s full of quiet ruminations and loud interruptions of visible seams and unhemmed edges, from the choir rehearsal that runs through its opening moments to the sound of the piano’s sustain pedal releasing at its end. Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd arrives as a sweeping, confounding work-in-process. It’s one that Lana takes up vigorously, even if that meaning is sometimes legible only to her. “My pastor told me when you leave all you take is your memory,” goes the chorus, resolute like a hymn, wrapped up with gospel backing vocals and orchestral ribbons, “And I’m gonna take mine of you with me.” To whittle the raw material of life into meaning, worth preserving-this is the writer’s task. “ The Grants,” which opens her ninth studio album, climbs to the metaphorical mountaintop, guided by John Denver’s sense of mystical wonderment, to receive wisdom from on high. ![]() But now, rather than an escape hatch, it’s a framing device through which to peer at her life.

Fighters, ex-paladins, rangers, monks, druids, and barbarians make for indomitable combat-oriented blackguards, while rogues and bardic blackguards are likely to stress the subtle aspects of their abilities and spells. The blackguard has many options available to him - sending forth dark minions and servants to do his bidding, attacking with stealth and honorless guile, or straightforward smiting of the forces of good that stand in his way. Some people call these villains anti-paladins due to their completely evil nature. Consorting with demons and devils and serving dark deities, the blackguard is hated and feared by all. The quintessential black knight, this villain carries a reputation of the foulest sort that is very well deserved. ![]() ![]() Interrupt the brothers and Guybrush will agree to test out the cannon.

When asked about its interest cover ratio, which measures how easily a company can pay interest on its outstanding debt, Downer declined to comment other than to say it was meeting its financial covenants. This ratio of leverage is a measure that shows how many years it would take for a company to pay back its debt. At the end of December, Downer’s net debt to EBITDA ratio was at 2.3 times, which sits within the company’s target range of 2-2.5 times, and anything below three times is generally considered ok. In a statement, the company said that it “remains in compliance with all financial covenants”. In some examples, ICAC outlined where subcontractors had lined their pockets by inflating the price for work on a number of the government contracts awarded to Downer, while the company lost money on them. “One of the biggest factors in allowing fraud and corruption to occur in companies is either poor controls or lack of oversight of those controls,” says Chris Watson, a partner in Grant Thorton’s forensic consulting team. The ICAC investigation as it has unpicked these contracts has, within a few weeks, laid bare a culture of complacency and poor corporate governance at Downer, where the company failed to identify the shady behaviour going on under some of its top executives’ noses. ICAC hearings where bid rigging and fraud allegations have been made about rail maintenance contracts awarded to Downer EDI. Those accusations relate to a range of rail maintenance contracts that were awarded by the NSW government to Downer (and by Downer to subcontractors). When Aidan Cox, a project engineer, sat in the witness box at a NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption hearing this past week, he dobbed in one of the country’s most boring but civically important listed companies, Downer EDI, for having a corruption problem.Īnd not just a low-level corruption problem but one that in his opinion was “systemic”.Ĭox, a subcontractor, is one of about a dozen individuals, including at least six former Downer staff, who have been accused by the ICAC of either rigging contracts, inflating bids, fraud, bribery and kickbacks. ![]() Cheesy: The meaning of this word, which we will mention first among the English slang words, is not very clear and if you have heard that someone said it before, you may be confused until it is announced.Normal text size Larger text size Very large text size “Cheesy” is used to express that something is an exaggerated or obvious joke.
