  • Presidential Administration Under Trump Daniel A
    Presidential Administration Under Trump Daniel A. Farber1 Anne Joseph O’Connell2 I. Introduction [I would widen the Introduction: focusing on the problem of what kind of president Donald Trump is and what the implications are. The descriptive and normative angles do not seem to have easy answers. There is a considerable literature in political science and law on positive/descriptive theories of the president. Kagan provides just one, but an important one. And there is much ink spilled on the legal dimensions. I propose that after flagging the issue, the Introduction would provide some key aspects of Trump as president, maybe even through a few bullet points conveying examples, raise key normative questions, and then lay out a roadmap for the article. One thing to address is what ways we think Trump is unique for a study of the President and for the study of Administrative Law, if at all.] [We should draft this after we have other sections done.] Though the Presidency has been a perennial topic in the legal literature, Justice Elena Kagan, in her earlier career as an academic, penned an enormously influential 2001 article about the increasingly dominant role of the President in regulation, at the expense of the autonomy of administrative agencies.3 The article’s thesis, simply stated, was that “[w]e live in an era of presidential administration.”, by 1 Sho Sato Professor of Law at the University of California, Berkeley. 2 George Johnson Professor of Law at the University of California, Berkeley. 3 Elena Kagan, Presidential Administration, 114 HARV.

On April 27, 2019, Ms. Conway made the following statements during an interview on CNN: "You want to revisit this the way Joe Biden wants to revisit, respectfully, because he doesn't want to be held to account for his record or lack thereof. And I found his announcement video to be unfortunate, certainly a missed opportunity. But also just very dark and spooky, in that it's taking us, he doesn't have a vision for the future." The chyron on the bottom of the interview periodically identified Ms. Conway as "Counselor to President Trump."2 On April 30, 2019, Ms. Conway made the following statements in response to a question about infrastructure: "You've got middle-class is booming now despite what Joe Biden says. I don't know exactly what country he's talking about when he says he needs to rebuild the middle class. He also just sounds like someone who wasn't vice president for eight years. He's got this whole list of grievances of what's wrong with the country as if he didn't have, as if he didn't work in this building for eight years ..

    CHRIS LIDDELL “We tend to overestimate the short term impact of trends and underestimate the long term impact. In the long term it is clear that environmental issues will be a significant threat to both global growth and human wellbeing. They will also however be an opportunity for some countries to take, and benefit from, a leadership position. New Zealand could be, and should be, one of those countries.” Chris was recently Vice Chairman and CFO of General Motors. Previously he was CFO of Microsoft, CFO of International Paper and CEO of Carter Holt Harvey. He was also the former Chairman of Project Crimson, a Director of the New Zealand Rugby Union and a trustee of the New Zealand Sports Foundation. He is currently involved in a number of philanthropic projects in New Zealand, is a Trustee of the New Zealand Institute, a Patron of the University of Auckland fundraising campaign and a Director of IMG, the leading sports management company in the world. GEOFF ROSS “I am involved in Pure Advantage, because I believe it is what will give this country a competitive advantage. As the world looks for greener - food, beverage, tourism, energy, technology, fashion, etc, business opportunities will emerge. With a Pure Advantage and some haste, we can grab these opportunities.

  • Analysing Journalists Written English on Twitter
    Analysing Journalists Written English on Twitter A comparative study of language used in news coverage on Twitter and conventional news sites Douglas Askman Department of English Bachelor Degree Project English Linguistics Autumn 2020 Supervisor: Kate O’Farrell Analysing Journalists Written English on Twitter A comparative study of language used in news coverage on Twitter with conventional news sites. Douglas Askman Abstract The English language is in constant transition, it always has been and always will be. Historically the change has been caused by colonisation and migration. Today, however, the change is initiated by a much more powerful instrument: the Internet. The Internet revolution comes with superior changes to the English language and how people communicate. Computer Mediated Communication is arguably one of the main spaces for communication between people today, supported by the increasing amount and usage of social media platforms. Twitter is one of the largest social media platforms in the world today with a diverse set of users. The amount of journalists on Twitter have increased in the last few years, and today they make up 25 % of all verified accounts on the platform. Journalists use Twitter as a tool for marketing, research, and spreading of news. The aim of this study is to investigate whether there are linguistic differences between journalists’ writing on Twitter to their respective conventional news site. This is done through a Discourse Analysis, where types of informal language features are specifically accounted for. Conclusively the findings show signs of language differentiation between the two studied medias, with informality on twitter being a substantial part of the findings.
