Silvio Berlusconi's divorce: Put asunder
-
Divorce could yet do political damage to Italy’s prime minister
Now that war has swept us sunder,
And we roam from where the faces smile to where the faces frown?
And no more behold the features
Of the fair fantastic creatures,
And no more CLINK! CLINK! past the parlours of the town?
不知道她們可還在將我們牽記，
現在戰爭已經將我們分在兩起，
現在，我們祇看到那些叫人討厭的容顏，
料想那一張笑臉孩照樣美好，
可是現在，我們卻再也看不見了；
不再丁丁璫璫的響著，走過區公所門前！

Definition of fantastic
adjective
Derivatives
Origin:
late Middle English (in the sense 'unreal'): from Old French fantastique, via medieval Latin from Greek phantastikos, from phantazein 'make visible', phantazesthai 'have visions, imagine', from phantos 'visible' (related to phainein 'to show'). From the 16th to the 19th cents the Latinized spelling phantastic was also usedIn mining, beneficiation (occasionally spelled 'benefication') is a variety of processes whereby extracted ore from mining is separated into mineral and gangue, the former suitable for further processing or direct use.
Based on this definition, the term has occasionally been used metaphorically for the economic development and corporate social responsibility to describe the proportion of the value derived from asset exploitation which stays 'in country' and benefits local communities.[1] For example, in the diamond industry, the beneficiation imperative argues that cutting and polishing processes within the diamond value chain should be conducted in-country to maximise the local economic contribution.
