Lowrance spent 20 years as a domestic relations and entertainment lawyer. A Domestic Relations Judge in the Circuit Court of Cook County since 1995, she authored Visitation Guidelines for Cook County, and produced and chaired a statewide judicial conference on “How to Tell if People Are Lying.” Lowrance was a regular weekly guest on Jonathan Brandmeir’s Radio WLS program “Trust Me, I’m a Lawyer.” She also produced and hosted the Infinity Broadcasting talk radio show “Your Health Matters” for five years, interviewing guests such as Deepak Chopra, Dr. Andrew Weil and Dr. John Grey. She has made numerous guest TV appearances, and has appeared on “American Justice” with Bill Kurtis. She is a regular guest lecturer at Chicago Divorce University, the Chicago Bar Association, The University of Chicago, and Northwestern University. Lowrance, a child of divorce who was raised by her grandparents, is also divorced. Her professional life has been devoted to helping those similarly situated. The premise of her new book, The Good Karma Divorce, maintains that the American court system was not built to house or process the violent emotions unleashed by divorce, which are universal, no matter the tax bracket or the profile of the divorcing couple. Her book lays out a practical and helpful roadmap for a radically new way to approach divorce: avoid litigation, turn negative emotions into positive ones, and get on with the rest of your life.

  • Idioms-And-Expressions.Pdf
    Idioms and Expressions by David Holmes A method for learning and remembering idioms and expressions I wrote this model as a teaching device during the time I was working in Bangkok, Thai- land, as a legal editor and language consultant, with one of the Big Four Legal and Tax companies, KPMG (during my afternoon job) after teaching at the university. When I had no legal documents to edit and no individual advising to do (which was quite frequently) I would sit at my desk, (like some old character out of a Charles Dickens’ novel) and prepare language materials to be used for helping professionals who had learned English as a second language—for even up to fifteen years in school—but who were still unable to follow a movie in English, understand the World News on TV, or converse in a colloquial style, because they’d never had a chance to hear and learn com- mon, everyday expressions such as, “It’s a done deal!” or “Drop whatever you’re doing.” Because misunderstandings of such idioms and expressions frequently caused miscom- munication between our management teams and foreign clients, I was asked to try to as- sist. I am happy to be able to share the materials that follow, such as they are, in the hope that they may be of some use and benefit to others. The simple teaching device I used was three-fold: 1. Make a note of an idiom/expression 2. Define and explain it in understandable words (including synonyms.) 3. Give at least three sample sentences to illustrate how the expression is used in context.

  • Trust Me, Said the Spider
    SPEASchool of Public and Environmental Affairs Insights(SPEA) • Indiana University July 2010 Trust Me, Said the Spider Summary Social scientists tell us that Americans in general are short on trust these days…we don’t trust our neighbors, whether they look like us or not. Is this decline in generalized social trust, assuming it has occurred, an outgrowth of America’s increased diversity, as some have suggested, or is it instead attributable to other aspects of our contemporary civic experience? If we have indeed lost this generalized trust – that is, the belief that other people in our neighborhoods and communities are generally trustworthy – what are the civic SHEILA SUESS KENNEDY, J.D. consequences? Is this interpersonal trust the kind of trust that America requires at this Professor and particular juncture? Or is the sort of trust we require different from that needed in “simpler,” Director of Public Affairs Programs less technologically saturated times?

The diversity argument The views expressed are solely those of the Americans are not in a trusting mood. We don’t trust our government – in a recent author and do not imply endorsement by Pew survey1, just 22 percent of respondents said they trust the federal government most Indiana University or the School of Public and of the time, among the lowest measures in half a century – and if we are to believe social Environmental Affairs.

It will also relate it with our present time and cultural context in order to prove how this genre allows, because of its specific characteristics, the treatment of contemporary concerns and issues. This study will analyze the television drama series The Americans from a cultural perspective that tries to show the relevance of the series within the cultural context of the first decades of the 21th century. The focus will be placed on the portrayal of the main characters, their family and their personal relationships as both public and private human beings in a society which tends to be extremely demanding with its citizens. Television series The Americans (FX, 2013-2015) follows the conventions of the realist trend in spy films such as The Spy Who Came In From the Cold ( Martin Ritt, 1965) or Tinker, Tailor, Soldier and Spy ( Tomas Alfredson, 2011), both based on novels written by John le Carré, even though these conventions are changed, mixed and distorted.

  • The Americans: Domesticity and Regendering of Classical Spy Narratives
    Brno Studies in English Volume 44, No. 1, 2018 ISSN 0524-6881, e-ISSN 1805-0867 https://doi.org/10.5817/BSE2018-1-7 Esther Muñoz-González The Americans: Domesticity and Regendering of Classical Spy Narratives Abstract In this article an analysis is made of the first season of the television series The Americans from a cultural perspective which shows the relevance of the series within the context of the first decades of the 21st century. The series belongs to a specific genre that used to be masculine and mainly centered on the conflicts resulting from the confrontation between individual male loyalties and their identities conditioned by their belonging to a political order. By humanizing the usual villains in the spy genre, the series introduces a certain moral ambiguity and the idea that political ideologies lose their value in the face of individual motivations. This article explores the use of the conventions of the spy genre and how the model is adapted to allow for the treatment of present-day concerns related to the individual’s struggle (now female as well) to reconcile public and private life. Keywords Spy genre; female spies; public vs private; professional women/family; indi- vidual isolation 1. Introduction In the years after World War II and during the Cold War, there was a pressing need for inhabiting a ‘safe place’ that had to be protected from the destruction that World War II had caused. And it is precisely this vulnerability of citizens’ homes and by extension of their nations that functions as “ideological motiva- tion” for spies.

  • The Life Story of Henry Greenbaum, a Holocaust Survivor Interviewer
    I Will Survive: The Life Story of Henry Greenbaum, a Holocaust Survivor Interviewer: Michael McMillen Interviewee: Henry Greenbaum Instructor: Glenn Whitman Date of Submission: February 13, 2013 McMillen 2 Table of Contents Interviewee Release Form 3 Interviewer Release Form 4 Statement of Purpose 5 Biography 6 The Third Reich: The History of Adolf Hitler and his Rise to Power 8 Interview Transcription 15 Analysis Paper 48 Works Consulted 52 McMillen 3 . McMillen 4 . McMillen 5 Statement of Purpose The purpose of the American Century Oral History Project is to bring unknown survivors or people who have lived through an event to the forefront and preserve their story. This project is mainly to show readers, through a convergence of evidence, the viewpoint of a person who lived through and/or experienced an event that was historically significant. Through the interview, one acquires a very detailed knowledge of a certain period or event. After researching the Holocaust (1939-1945) and interviewing Henry Greenbaum, a Holocaust survivor, I learned more about the Holocaust in two hours than I had in my entire history class. McMillen 6 Biography: Henry Greenbaum Henry Greenbaum was born in Strachowice, Poland on April 1, 1928. He was raised by his mother and father in Strachowice. His father ran a tailor business through their house; as Mr. Greenbaum puts it, a “mom and pop store” (McMillen 17). When the Germans invaded their small town, every Jew in their town was deported to the Strachowice ghetto where he was kept for two years. During the holding, three of his five sisters were deported to Treblinka and killed.

    Digital Archive digitalarchive.wilsoncenter.org International History Declassified May 16, 1962 Speech of N. S. Khrushchev at a friendly dinner in Yevksinograd (Varna), 16 May 1962 Citation: “Speech of N. S. Khrushchev at a friendly dinner in Yevksinograd (Varna), 16 May 1962,” May 16, 1962, History and Public Policy Program Digital Archive, Published in ''Istochnik,'' (Moscow) No. 6, 2003, pp. 128-137. Translated by Gary Goldberg. http://digitalarchive.wilsoncenter.org/document/113341 Summary: Speaking in Bulgaria, Khrushchev discusses the cult of personality of Stalin and the great purges that occurred under Stalin's leadership. He contrasts Lenin and Stalin and the role of the communist party under each. He addresses the history and current situation of the Communist Party of Albania and the Soviet split with Albania and Yugoslavia. Original Language: Russian Contents: English Translation Comrades, I want to complain to you to some degree. For a long time I've been asking for the floor but evidently because I am a newborn and still not a grownup, therefore they say: wait, what are you getting into? I recognize that I'm still not a day old as I've become a new citizen. It's not that you have 8 million and I'm but one. Evidently this one is the 8 millionth. (commotion). [Translator's note: per an endnote, Khrushchev was made an honorary citizen of the city on this date] What to do? Therefore I treat the Komsomol with understanding. How difficult it is for the Komsomol, and even more a Pioneer, but I am still at the stage of a Pioneer in my birth.
