The orders were: Make clear and simple rules, permit few exceptions to the rules, and rely heavily on the chosen dictionary as the arbiter of con- flicts. As work progressed, we became convinced that while style would remain the chief purpose, there were many factual refer- ences we should include to make things a bit easier for busy edi- tors. So we have a Stylebook, but also a reference work. As for the ‘style’ itself, we thought at the outset that it wouldn’t be possible to please everyone. Of course, we were right. Journalists approach these style questions with varying degrees of passion. Some don’t think it is really important. Some agree that basical- ly there should be uniformity for reading ease if nothing else. Still others are prepared to duel over a wayward lowercase. We encountered all three of these types and, in their special ways, all were helpful. It is customary at this place to thank those whose aid and counsel produced the volume that follows. That list is long. It ranges from the staff of The Associated Press to editors and writers on member newspapers, to other individuals and groups with special interests in some subjects. In particular we sought and received many member views on a variety of diffi- cult questions so that this book could reflect what members want- ed. We are particularly grateful to those newspaper editors who agreed to review the final draft and give us their comments as well as those of their staffs. The completed book incorporates many of their suggestions. We have tried to make the Stylebook current and trust it will be a lasting work. But language changes, and we will review entries annually, making necessary changes by wire notes during the re- view period. Each new printing of the Stylebook will incorporate the changes that have been announced on the wires. LOUIS D.

  • Iudaea Capta Vs. Mother Zion: the Flavian Discourse on Judaeans and Its Delegitimation in 4 Ezra
    Journal for the Study of Judaism 49 (2018) 498-550 Journal for the Study of Judaism brill.com/jsj Iudaea Capta vs. Mother Zion: The Flavian Discourse on Judaeans and Its Delegitimation in 4 Ezra G. Anthony Keddie1 Assistant Professor, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada [email protected] Abstract This study proposes that the empire-wide Iudaea capta discourse should be viewed as a motivating pressure on the author of 4 Ezra. The discourse focused on Iudaea capta, Judaea captured, was pervasive across the Roman empire following the First Revolt. Though initiated by the Flavians, it became misrecognized across the Mediterranean and was expressed in a range of media. In this article, I examine the diverse evidence for this discourse and demonstrate that it not only cast Judaeans as barbaric enemies of Rome using a common set of symbols, but also attributed responsibility for a minor provincial revolt to a transregional ethnos/gens. One of the most distinctive symbols of this discourse was a personification of Judaea as a mourning woman. I argue that 4 Ezra delegitimates this Iudaea capta discourse, with its mourning woman, through the counter-image of a Mother Zion figure who transforms into the eschatological city. Keywords Iudaea capta/Judaea capta − Flavian dynasty − 4 Ezra − Roman iconography − Jewish-Roman relations − Mother Zion − apocalyptic discourse − First Jewish Revolt 1 I would like to thank Steven Friesen and L. Michael White for their helpful feedback and insightful suggestions on earlier versions of this study. © koninklijke brill nv, leiden, 2018 | doi:10.1163/15700631-12494235Downloaded from Brill.com10/06/2021 11:31:49PM via free access Iudaea Capta vs.

  • Player Perceptions and Biomechanical Responses to Tennis Court Surfaces: the Implications to Technique and Injury Risk
    PLAYER PERCEPTIONS AND BIOMECHANICAL RESPONSES TO TENNIS COURT SURFACES: THE IMPLICATIONS TO TECHNIQUE AND INJURY RISK Submitted by Chelsea Starbuck, to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sport and Health Sciences September 2014 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. (Signature) ……………………………………………………………………………… 1 Abstract Elite tennis players are required to perform on a variety of tennis court surfaces which differ in mechanical characteristics, such as friction and hardness, influencing their performance and risk of injury. To understand the influence of surfaces on performance and injury risk, three studies were conducted to investigate tennis players’ perceptions and biomechanical responses during tennis-specific movements on different court surfaces. In study 1, tennis players perceptions of acrylic and clay courts were identified following a thematic inductive analysis of semi-structured interviews (n = 7) to develop of a series of visual analogue scales (VAS) to quantify perceptions during studies 2 and 3. Perceptions of predictability of the surface and players’ ability to slide and change direction emerged, in addition to anticipated perceptions of grip and hardness. Study 2 aimed to examine the influence of court surfaces and prior clay court experience on perceptions and biomechanical characteristics of tennis-specific skills.

  • Beyond Politics the Private Governance Response to Climate Change

Vandenbergh Vanderbilt University, Tennessee Jonathan M. Gilligan Vanderbilt University, Tennessee C:/ITOOLS/WMS/CUP-NEW/11022940/WORKINGFOLDER/VVAN/9781107181229C01.3D 3 [1–36] 22.7.2017 2:10PM 1 Introduction Who recently announced a goal of reducing 20 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions? We have posed that question to dozens of audiences at public events and in university classrooms, and the answers we get invariably assume that government is the actor. In some cases the answers are cities like Seattle or New York. In other cases the answers point to states and provinces like Rhode Island or British Columbia, or countries ranging from China to small island states. The correct answer? Walmart. Working with the Environmental Defense Fund, in 2010 Walmart announced the 20 million ton goal, and the effort ultimately yielded more than 28 million tons of emissions reduc- tions between 2010 and 2015 from Walmart’s suppliers in China and around the world. Moreover, on the heels of this achievement, Walmart announced the even more ambitious goal of reducing its greenhouse gas emissions between 2015 and 2030 by one billion tons, which would be roughly the same reduction that would be achieved by a government regulation that required to the U.S. Iron and Steel Industry to cut its emissions to zero.1 Whatever your views are about Walmart, we suspect that taking a leading role in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions is not the role you envisioned for the company.2 In this book, we examine why climate debates so often default to an assumption that government must be the actor that responds to climate change and that the action must be some form of international agreement, or domestic law, policy or program.

  • The Emoji Factor: Humanizing the Emerging Law of Digital Speech
    The Emoji Factor: Humanizing the Emerging Law of Digital Speech 1 Elizabeth A. Kirley and Marilyn M. McMahon Emoji are widely perceived as a whimsical, humorous or affectionate adjunct to online communications. We are discovering, however, that they are much more: they hold a complex socio-cultural history and perform a role in social media analogous to non-verbal behaviour in offline speech. This paper suggests emoji are the seminal workings of a nuanced, rebus-type language, one serving to inject emotion, creativity, ambiguity – in other words ‘humanity’ - into computer mediated communications. That perspective challenges doctrinal and procedural requirements of our legal systems, particularly as they relate to such requisites for establishing guilt or fault as intent, foreseeability, consensus, and liability when things go awry. This paper asks: are we prepared as a society to expand constitutional protections to the casual, unmediated ‘low value’ speech of emoji? It identifies four interpretative challenges posed by emoji for the judiciary or other conflict resolution specialists, characterizing them as technical, contextual, graphic, and personal. Through a qualitative review of a sampling of cases from American and European jurisdictions, we examine emoji in criminal, tort and contract law contexts and find they are progressively recognized, not as joke or ornament, but as the first step in non-verbal digital literacy with potential evidentiary legitimacy to humanize and give contour to interpersonal communications. The paper proposes a separate space in which to shape law reform using low speech theory to identify how we envision their legal status and constitutional protection. 1 Dr. Kirley is Barrister & Solicitor in Canada and Seniour Lecturer and Chair of Technology Law at Deakin University, MelBourne Australia; Dr.

And so, many of you will not be surprised by how excited we are to introduce a collaborative new entity called Hopkins Sales Partners.
