He wrote some of the most popular poetry of the period as well as one obscure but swashbuckling novel, Moondyne (1878), based in part upon the spectacular events of his own life. O'Reilly was a hero of national and international stature. His reputation, however, rested on more than his personal charisma, staggering life history and notorious achievements as political activist and editor of The Pilot, the most influential Catholic newspaper of the nineteenth centu­ ry. His clout truly stemmed from the way in which other Americans saw him as embodying a cultural role of conciliator, communicator, and given him by his Aborigine friends in john Boyle O'Reilly, 1844-1890.

Hovering there I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air. "Up, up the long delirious burning blue I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace, where never lark, or even eagle, flew; and, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of God."

  • Friend, Boss, and Entertainer? the Embattled Self As a Guiding Theme in the British and American Productions of the Office
    American Remakes of British Television Transformations and Mistranslations Edited by Carlen Lavigne and Heather Marcovitch ~~'" LEXINGTON BooKS A division of ROWMAN & LITTLEFIELD PUBLISHERS, INC. Lanham· Boulder· New York· Toronto· Plymouth, UK EIGHT Friend, Boss, and Entertainer? The Embattled Self as a Guiding Theme in the British and American Productions of The Office Janet J. Boseovski and Stuart Marcovitch "When people say to me, would you rather be thought of as a funny man or a great boss? My answer's always the same: to me, they're not mutually exclusive." -David Brent (British Series, Series 1, "Work Experience") "I guess the atmosphere that I've tried to create here is that I'm a friend first and a boss second, and probably an entertainer third." - Michael Scott (American Series, Season 1, "Pilot") A television series of British origin, The Office is filmed as a mock docu­ mentary examining the mundane work life of the employees of an unre­ markable paper supply company. The original British series debuted in 2001 and culminated in 12 episodes, followed by a two-part Christmas special in 2003. The American adaptation premiered in 2005, and while it was slow to develop a following in the United States, it ultimately amassed a sizable viewership and won critical acclaim with a number of major awards, including the 2006 Emmy for outstanding comedy series. 1 Given the number of stunning failures in the adaptation of television shows from Britain to North America,2 the success of The Office is intri­ guing and likely reflects a focus on issues that are universally relevant, but that have been tailored cleverly to suit the American audience.

  • OM 001-2019: Home Confinement Under the First Step
    U.S. Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Prisons O P E R A T I O N S M E M O R A N D U M OPI: RSD/RRM NUMBER: 001-2019 DATE: April 4, 2019 EXPIRATION DATE: April 4, 2020 Home Confinement under the First Step Act /s/ Approved: Hugh J. Hurwitz Acting Director, Federal Bureau of Prisons The First Step Act of 2018 (FSA) contained additional requirements for the Bureau of Prisons (Bureau) in placing inmates in home confinement generally, and re-established and expanded a pilot program under the Second Chance Act to place elderly and terminally ill inmates in home confinement. The terms “home confinement” and “home detention” are used interchangeably in this Operations Memorandum. Institution Supplement. None required. Should local facilities make any changes outside the required changes in the national policy or establish any additional local procedures to implement the national policy, the local Union may invoke to negotiate procedures or appropriate arrangements. 1. HOME CONFINEMENT FOR LOW RISK OFFENDERS Section 602 of the FSA modified 18 U.S.C. § 3621 (c)(1), authorizes the Bureau to maximize the amount of time spent on home confinement when possible. The provision now states, with the new FSA language in bold, “Home confinement authority. – The authority under this subsection may be used to place a prisoner in home confinement for the shorter of 10 percent of the term of imprisonment of that prisoner or 6 months. The Bureau of Prisons shall, to the extent practicable, place prisoners with lower risk levels and lower needs on home confinement for the maximum amount of time permitted under this paragraph.” The Bureau interprets the language to refer to inmates that have lower risks of reoffending in the community, and reentry needs that can be addressed without RRC placement.
