You and others can breathe a huge sigh of relief that this won’t be another truly mammoth missive, but I find myself moved to emphasise at sufficient volume that you might have heard it from where you are that Boris Johnson did very little, as Mayor of London or in any other respect, of long-term benefit for public transport here. I’ve cut out four paragraphs of elaboration covering the past twenty years on that subject – plus government (in)action on the plague into the bargain – because I’ve decided not to let politics pollute fan writing as well as everything else. And you did say yourself that you don’t want VT ‘to become riven with argument’ – which is a bit of a tall order given some of the views you choose to express yourself, although that’s your privilege since it’s your fanzine. But to address a specific point you made, the trams in Croydon started running in 2000 and Johnson became London mayor in 2008. Nothing whatsoever to do with him, and I wish that were true of more in life. I’m always sorry to see people buying into his personal mythology.

  • Xerox University Microfilms
    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be madefrom "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • USC Dornsife in the News Archive - 2020
    USC Dornsife in the News Archive - 2020 December December 18, 2020 Time featured an op-ed by Peter C. Mancall of the USC Dornsife College on how America keeps adapting the story of the Pilgrims at Plymouth. "After the establishment of the United States, historians and politicians cemented Plymouth in the script of American nationalism, minimizing its well-documented problems and magnifying its alleged wonder," he wrote. He was also featured in Yahoo News (via The Conversation) on why the Puritans cracked down on celebrating Christmas. The New Yorker featured an article by Carol Muske-Dukes of the USC Dornsife College on the writer John Cheever's visit to Sing Sing Correctional Facility. "I didn’t fully grasp, till I thought about it later, how the Q&A at Sing Sing, for Cheever, must have been like facing a roomful of his own characters, suddenly eerily alive, talking back to him, pointing their fingers," she wrote. Yahoo News (via Patch) featured research by Gema Zamarro of the USC Dornsife College's Center for Economic and Social Research on the disproportionate impact the pandemic has had on working women and mothers. "This could have important implications for the recovery of the economy and represent a significant step back in terms of gender equality," she said.

    Perry mason books free download Continue Your trolley is currently empty. ← Back to the Customer Store Info - Date Status General Order History Is Empty... Total: Discount: Delivery: Tax: General Order: When I think of the Godfather, I think about that horse head. Of course, there are many other memorable scenes in the crowd of Francis Ford Coppola's masterpiece. But Khartoum's prize-winning head, beautiful, heavy, soaked in blood, and sliding on silk sheets like Jack Volz's screams ringing through the walls of the mansion, will always be one of those cinematic moments that I feel in my bones. It's the sort of scene Perry Mason delivers. The titular lawyer known to fill this kind of space doesn't even exist in this universe yet. Set in the Great Depression-era Los Angeles, HBO's reboot of the historical legal drama approaches its subject with gritty tenacity. The first moments of the series do not depict a legal office, a jury room or a trial at a hearing; Perry Mason isn't even a lawyer yet. At this point, he's just a dishonestly discharged veteran-turned-private detective, living behind his parents' old farm and drinking himself to sleep. No title card. No heroic account. Not yet. Across town, kidnapping goes wrong. The boy is found abandoned on a trolley. His parents, heartbroken, rush to the car, clutching at his swaddled body - only to find out the boy they thought they had rescued is now dead. The child's eyes, as it turned out, were sewn open, making him alive for his parents long enough for the criminal to grab the promised ransom and leave.

  • “The New Perry Mason: Mastering the (Technical) Art of Virtual Depositions”
    “THE NEW PERRY MASON: MASTERING THE (TECHNICAL) ART OF VIRTUAL DEPOSITIONS” FDCC 85th Annual Meeting, August 1-7, 2021 SUBPART: THE PROCEDURAL RULES By Shelly Masters, Cokinos | Young I. Introduction. While virtual depositions were not invented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, their use was the exception and not the rule. Those “old school” virtual depositions were taken usually to offset the costs of travel to question witnesses in faraway places or accommodate those who were unable or simply wouldn’t agree to travel. To conduct the depositions, the parties relied on basic technology and informal agreements which consisted mostly of decisions on where the court reporter would be, who would be in the room with the deponent and whether the documents to be used in the examination would be exchanged by email or fax. For many lawyers inexperienced in taking virtual depositions, the depositions were a means to an end but rarely resulted in any Perry Mason “gotcha” moments. In fact, deposing witnesses remotely has never been the first choice of litigators who have long prided themselves on their ability to elicit key admissions from unsuspecting deponents by wielding “smoking gun” documents during in-person depositions. However, by a surprise turn of fate, attorneys from coast to coast were thrown kicking and screaming into an alternate reality where the exceptionally rare remote deposition became the sole method for conducting depositions. These lawyers were forced to utilize this remote option to keep client matters tracking toward mediation and/or trial. Unfortunately, the procedural rules of each state provide little guidance for many of the issues commonly encountered by parties seeking to conduct a remote deposition.

Sosnoski – President, Society for Conceptual Logistics in Communication Research (sclcr.com) 3 Chapter 1 Introduction to Reading and Analyzing Discourses ABSTRACT: Discourse analysts are necessarily readers of the texts they analyze and their analyses are, in effect, readings of the texts. Christopher Hart, for example, offers a reading of the British National Party’s 2005 manifesto. He argues that conceptual blending theory adds a significant dimension to Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). Tuen van Dijk characterizes CDA as studies of the concepts of power, dominance, and social inequality. Logistical Discourse Analysis (LDA) similarly uses conceptual blending theory and studies conceptions. However, LDA differs in its objective. LDA analyzes the relations between reading (conceptualization) and the analysis of concepts in research publications. Conceptions are not commonly understood as discursive structures, especially not as inter-discursive structures.
