This exercise allows you to paint a figurative, or even literal picture of what your life will look like in the future. These kinds of solutions are theoretically and practically impossible to implement based on c- tralised client-server architectures.

Despite this broadening of substance and support, these laboratories remain the unique locus of science and engineering (SE) for the U. This work was reproduced from the original artifact, and remains as true to the original work as possible. Author Gordon redefines the pejorative term to mean something much broader: French men and women "horizontally collaborated" to overcome all social obstacles, divisions, and regulations. He takes apart the varying responses from authorities and the discrepancies in reports, the wide range of theories, the startling fact that the plane actually turned around and flew in the opposite direction, and what solutions the aviation industry must now implement to ensure it never happens again.

Legal Innovation, Every Day How is the law firm of Law Offices of Laurent W. Metzler different than most other law firms that practice in the area of estate and financial planning? First: Our firm does not charge hourly fees for estate planning engagements. All of our estate planning clients are quoted and billed on the basis of a flat fee. Our clients know well in advance what fee they will incur and what services will be provided for that fee. Therefore, there are never any unpleasant billing surprises. Second: Our firm is not in the business to simply perform transactions. We feel that we are in business to help our Clients continually make the very best decisions for their family, now and in the future. Many times clients have had their estate planning documents prepared by a firm that after the delivery of the documents, never contacts them again. At the Law Offices of Laurent W. Metzler, on the three (3) year anniversary of the signing of their estate documents, each of our clients receive a review of their estate plan to ensure that it is still viable in light of any changes in their circumstances or changes in the law, etc. There is no charge for this review. Third: Our firm provides clients with a process to make certain that their estate plan will function as they intended.

  • Easter Sunday
    Easter Sunday 12 April 2020 He blesses every love which weeps and grieves And now he blesses hers who stood and wept And would not be consoled, or leave her love’s Last touching place, but watched as low light crept Up from the east. A sound behind her stirs A scatter of bright birdsong through the air. She turns, but cannot focus through her tears, Or recognise the Gardener standing there. She hardly hears his gentle question ‘Why, Why are you weeping?’, or sees the play of light That brightens as she chokes out her reply ‘They took my love away, my day is night’ And then she hears her name, she hears Love say The Word that turns her night, and ours, to Day. Malcolm Guite, Easter dawn Although we cannot meet to celebrate, Christ is risen. Although we may find it hard to rejoice, the joy of the Resurrection fills the universe. And although we are many, we are one body – one Easter people, and Alleluia is our song! We sing Alleluia, not ignoring the pain of many and the needs of the world, but because we trust that Christ’s victory over death gives hope for every situation: even the global pandemic in which we now find ourselves, suffering anxiety, isolation, illness and grief. Our Easter Eucharist is celebrated by the Dean, the Very Revd Professor Martyn Percy. Music has been recorded by our Lay Clerks in their homes, by boys from the Cathedral School before the closure of schools, by our Cathedral Choir in previous years, and by our Organist, Professor Steven Grahl.

  • Making a Way out of No Way: Zora
    ABSTRACT “‘Making a Way Out of No Way’: Zora Neale Hurston’s Hidden Discourse of Resistance” explores how Hurston used techniques she derived from the trickster tradition of African American folk culture in her narratives in order to resist and undermine the racism of the dominant discourse found in popular literature published during her lifetime. Critics have condemned her perceived willingness to use racist stereotypes in her work in order to pander to a white reading audience. This project asserts that Hurston did, indeed, don a “mask of minstrelsy” to play into her reading public’s often racist expectations in order to succeed as an academic and as a creative writer. At the same time, however, she crafted her narratives in a way that destabilized those expectations through use of sometimes subtle and sometimes blatant points of resistance. In this way, she was able to participate in a system that was rigged against her, as a woman and as an African American, by playing into the expectations of her audiences for economic and professional advantages while simultaneously undermining aspects of those expectations through rhetorical “winks,” exaggeration, sarcasm, and other forms of humor that enabled her to stay true to her personal values. While other scholars have examined Hurston’s discourse of resistance, this project takes a different approach by placing Hurston’s material in relation to the publishing climate at the time. Chapter One examines Mules and Men in the context of the revisions Hurston made to her scholarly work to transform her collection of folktales into a cohesive book marketed to a popular reading audience.
