    Charles Dickens, 'Hard Times' and Hyperbole Transcript Date: Tuesday, 15 November 2016 - 6:00PM Location: Museum of London 15 November 2016 Charles Dickens: Hard Times and Hyperbole Professor Belinda Jack As I said in my last lecture, ‘Rhetoric’ has a bad name. Phrases like ‘empty rhetoric’, ‘it’s just rhetoric’ and the like suggest that the main purpose of rhetoric is to deceive. This, of course, can be true. But rhetoric is also an ancient discipline that tries to make sense of how we persuade. Now we could argue that all human communication sets out to persuade. Even a simple rhetorical question as clichéd and mundane as ‘isn’t it a lovely day?’ could be said to have a persuasive element. So this year I want to explore the nuts and bolts of rhetoric in relation to a number of famous works of literature. What I hope to show is that knowing the terms of rhetoric helps us to see how literature works, how it does its magic, while at the same time arguing that great works of literature take us beyond rhetoric. They push the boundaries and render the schema of rhetoric too rigid and too approximate. In my first lecture in the new series we considered Jane Austen’s novel entitled Persuasion (1817/1818) – what rhetoric is all about – in relation to irony and narrative technique, how the story is told. I concluded that these two features of Austen’s last completed novel functioned to introduce all manner of ambiguities leaving the reader in a position of uncertainty and left to make certain choices about how to understand the novel.

  • Informational Handout: King County International Airport-Boeing Field Seattle, Washington
    Informational Handout: King County International Airport-Boeing Field Seattle, Washington Published Visual Flight Rules (VFR) routes for arrivals and departures. Project Background The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) cancelled two existing VFR routes for aircraft landing and departing King County International Airport-Boeing Field (KBFI) and replaced them with newly defined routes (retaining some of the existing names). The term “routes” can best be described in this instance as a “set of pre-coordinated instructions” that is given to VFR pilots. The routes enhance safety by increasing separation between arrival and departure flows into KBFI, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (KSEA), and Renton Municipal Airport (KRNT). Purpose of Changes There have been Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) events involving VFR aircraft arriving and departing KBFI, and these routes are intended to reduce TCAS events and enhance safety. TCAS monitors the airspace around an aircraft for other aircraft equipped with proper equipment, independent of air traffic control, and warns pilots of the presence of other properly equipped aircraft in the immediate area. Project Description The project results in a change to past operating procedures by publishing several existing routes for VFR aircraft to use when arriving and departing from either runway configuration at KBFI. KBFI Airport Traffic Control Tower (BFI ATCT) now has the ability to assign published routes rather than issuing tailored instructions. The new VFR routes provide better predictability, enhance safety, and improve the segregation of aircraft arriving and departing KBFI. What Changed The new VFR routes follow pre-existing air traffic flight tracks that are assigned by BFI ATCT and no new areas will experience new air traffic overflights.

  • Starbucks Hangar Facility OFFERING
    Starbucks Hangar Facility OFFERING 6771 PERIMETER ROAD S, SEATTLE WASHINGTON 98108 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY On behalf of Starbucks Corporation, Kinzer Real Estate (“KRES”) has been retained to present to qualified parties the opportunity to purchase its leasehold interest (the “Offering”) in its current corporate hangar facility at King County International Airport (“KCIA”). Due to its increased international business and corresponding increase in travel requirements, Starbucks required an expansion of its fleet and hangar facility that its current hangar site could not accommodate. In November 2011, Starbucks secured a new lease with King County at a parcel that will accommodate its future aviation requirements, and as a result is looking to dispose of its current hangar upon completion of its new hangar. The Offering provides the rare opportunity to secure long-term access to an existing, operational hangar facility at KCIA at a favorable economic cost to potential alternatives. The Offering consists of Starbucks’ leasehold interest in an aviation hangar facility located at 6771-A Perimeter Road at KCIA. The facility consists of 14,154 square feet of improvements upon 44,252 square feet of land owned by King County. The interest is secured via sublease with Master Lessee King County Jet Center (“KCJC”), which leases the land directly from KCIA. Starbucks’ lease term is coterminous with KCJC’s lease term. Starbucks’ sublease provides for extensions coterminous with extensions of the Master Lease. Although the Master Lease does not provide KCJC with specific renewal rights, KCIA customarily renews ground leases with responsible ground lessees that professionally maintain and operate existing hangar facilities.

    «The Holy Letters Had Never Joined into Any Name as Mine» Notes on the Name of the Author in Agnon’s Work1 Yaniv Hagbi University of Amsterdam 1. Nomen est Omen As the famous Latin proverb testifies, the correlation between characters’ names and their nature, occupation, destiny or history is a literary trope very common in world-literature. It is known at least since the Bible. Abraham received his name because God is going to make him «the father of multitudes» or in Hebrew “av hamon goyim” (Gen. 17:5). Pharos’ daughter’s (surprisingly) good command of the language of the slaves, enabled her to name her Hebrew foundling, Moshe, saying, “I drew him out of the water (meshitihu)”» (Ex. 2:10).2 As one may presume this literary tool is only part of larger literary device. Proper names, i.e. not only persons’ names but all names of specific objects such as places, plants, animals etc., can bear literary aesthetic value. That latter, broader phenomenon is also known as onomastics (literary onomastics). The narrower manifestation of that phenomenon, with which we started, i.e. the relationship between a name and its human bearers, might be dubbed as anthropo-onomastics or anthroponym.3 It is of no surprise that the use of that trope is very common in the work of Shmuel Yosef Agnon (Tchatchkes) (1888-1970), an author well-versed in both Jewish literature and thought, as well as in world-literature.4 In the following article we shall see several unique uses Agnon makes in that trope while trying to account for possible reasons lying at the core of his poetical worldview.
