There were thousands of millions of stars…

What a horrible story. And I agree - the sentence was too lenient. 😢
A 30-year-old man has been sentenced to 12 years in prison, with the final two years suspended, for an attack in Co Monaghan, that left his aunt with permanent and life-altering brain injuries.

Can wholeheartedly recommend these cashmere blend tops from Uniqlo. Too thin and see-through to be worn as a proper top, but ideal as a base layer, adding heat without bulk! www.uniqlo.com/uk/en/produc...

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.
Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.
Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.
The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.
