Jack Trammell

John "Jack" Kent Trammell (born January 23, 1964) is a college professor and was the Democratic candidate in the 2014 general election for Virginia's 7th congressional district in the United States House of Representatives, which was held on November 4, 2014. Trammell faced Dave Brat, who defeated incumbent Eric Cantor in the Republican primary; and Libertarian nominee James Carr. Both Trammell and Brat are professors at Randolph–Macon College.

Early life and education

Trammell was born in Berea, Kentucky, in the infirmary on campus at Berea College where his parents were attending as an undergraduate married couple. He spent time as a child in Kentucky, and then New York City when his father was at Columbia University, and as an adult moved to central Virginia.

His family ancestry dates back to the American colonial period, when Thomas Trammell immigrated to Virginia in 1671, arriving at the port of Alexandria as an indentured servant.

Trammell was a political science undergraduate at Grove City College, where he earned his B.A. He then received advanced degrees or certificates in education, special education, history education, and research methodology, including Master's and PhD degrees from Virginia Commonwealth University, also taking classes through the University of Virginia.

Law society

A law society in current and former Commonwealth jurisdictions was historically an association of solicitors (effectively the trade organisation for solicitors) with a regulatory role that included the right to supervise the training, qualifications and conduct of lawyers/solicitors. Where there is a distinction between barristers and solicitors, solicitors were regulated by the law societies and barristers by a separate Bar Council.

Much has changed for law societies in recent years, with governments in Australia, New Zealand, England and Wales, and now Scotland (2010) creating government sponsored regulators for lawyers (both barristers and solicitors), leaving to law societies the role of advocacy on behalf of their members.

In Canada, law societies (or barreau, in Quebec) continue to have statutory responsibility for regulation of the legal profession in the public interest, leaving advocacy to the Canadian Bar Association.

In the United States, unified bar associations are somewhat similar to Law Societies; however, there are differences between law societies and the general American phenomenon of bar associations. Usually a bar association is an association of lawyers; lawyers may or may not join as they wish. Regulation of American lawyers usually takes places through the courts, which decide who gets admitted as a lawyer, and also decide discipline cases. Law societies are often created by legislation and play (or played) significant direct roles in the training, licensing and disciplining of lawyers. The conflict or roles between being a regulator and a trade association is seen by many as giving rise to the recent move to government sponsored regulators.

Statement of Principles (NDP)

The New Democratic Party's Statement of Principles was adopted in 1983 in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, at the 12th Federal NDP Convention. It replaced the Winnipeg Declaration, which had in turn replaced the original Regina Manifesto of 1933 of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) (the predecessor to the NDP).

The preamble reads as follows:

We believe that as peace must prevail over war, so must cooperation and mutual responsibility prevail over private gain and competition as the guiding principles of social and economic life. We seek a compassionate and caring society, servicing the needs of all. The New Democratic Party is proud to be part of that great worldwide movement of democratic socialist parties which have always striven to replace oppression and privilege with democracy and equality.

Music

Music is an art form and cultural activity whose medium is sound and silence. The common elements of music are pitch (which governs melody and harmony), rhythm (and its associated concepts tempo, meter, and articulation), dynamics (loudness and softness), and the sonic qualities of timbre and texture (which are sometimes termed the "color" of a musical sound). Different styles or types of music may emphasize, de-emphasize or omit some of these elements. Music is performed with a vast range of instruments and with vocal techniques ranging from singing to rapping, and there are solely instrumental pieces, solely vocal pieces and pieces that combine singing and instruments. The word derives from Greek μουσική (mousike; "art of the Muses"). In its most general form, the activities describing music as an art form include the production of works of music (songs, tunes, symphonies, and so on), the criticism of music, the study of the history of music, and the aesthetic examination of music. Ancient Greek and Indian philosophers defined music as tones ordered horizontally as melodies and vertically as harmonies. Common sayings such as "the harmony of the spheres" and "it is music to my ears" point to the notion that music is often ordered and pleasant to listen to. However, 20th-century composer John Cage thought that any sound can be music, saying, for example, "There is no noise, only sound."
