I spoke to William Vavrina on 05/16/17. He is calling me today about his 07/02/90 file WCB# 59017370. This case is established for the back with an average weekly wage of $456.40 and he was classified with a permanent total disability by Notice of Decision filed on 05/07/98. That same Decision finds the neurological condition and the neck are not casually related. There is no Section 15(8) and Special Funds was discharged. It was closed on classification at that time. The last award was paid up…

Traveling via the subway is an effective way of getting from point A to point B; however, my unfamiliarity with the subway system made me overwhelmingly nervous. Throughout elementary school and middle school, I…

“South Street, New York” Walker Evans’s photos’ are able to portray and capture the hardship of the people in the Great Depression. For example, one of his images shows these three men that could be homeless or perhaps looking for a job, this is because of how the men are situated in front of a dilapidated building. The fellow that is sleeping in front of the locked doors looks to be very lackadaisical, maybe because he is a customer just that desperate to wait all night to be the first one…

whether or not the New York Times v. Sullivan case went too far in establishing actual malice as a requirement where public officials are concerned. The case officially ruled that a public official must showcase proof against the libel. In this discussion, I would have to take the side of the two individuals who argued for this statement. An important point one of them brought up was the fact that the case exemplified the tort of defamation. The original article published from the New York Times…

A popular way of describing the comprehensive personality of Philly residents, Phillyosophy is often interpreted by locals as the unique attitude Philadelphians have due to the city’s defining characteristics like it’s rich history, welcoming cultural perspective, and passion for sports. Growing up in the shadow of this city, I’ve developed my own Phillyosophy over the years. Since…

If the prices were not reduced, consumers would not be able to afford anything because of the struggling economy, and the designers would not have made enough of a profit to…
