In this episode, Jim Garrity discusses a brand new court ruling where a judge held that requests to review a transcript before it's finalized must be made before the deposition is completed, failing which the request is untimely, even if made immediately after the deposition concludes. The order says defense counsel claimed to make the "read request" after the reporter announced "We're off the record" but while the reporter and all counsel were still logged in on a Zoom link. Even so, the court said, that's too late. Garrity talks about the significance of the ruling, and offers practice tips in the event you inadvertently miss your chance to make a timely request for review.SHOW NOTESCypress Property and Casualty Insurance Company v. Jallad & R Investments, LLC, 2023 WL 3021075, No. 3:21-cv-1478-L (N. D. Tex. Apr. 20, 2023) (request for review copy of transcript before finalization untimely where not made before deposition concluded, even if made immediately afterwards)EBC, Inc. v. Clark Bldg. Sys., Inc., 618 F.3d 253, 266 (3d Cir. 2010) (In a case involving a different Fed. R. Civ. P. 30(e)(1) errata sheet-related deadline, court suggested judge has some discretion in forgiving the missed deadline, saying, “Note, however, the phrasing of the rule—it provides that a party or deponent “must be allowed 30 days” to submit errata (the rule formerly stated that the party or deponent “shall have 30 days”). Fed.R.Civ.P. 30(e)(1). The natural language of the rule, then, does not preclude courts from allowing more time upon a prior request or forgiving minor untimeliness after the fact. Instead, the rule grants courts discretion to do so under appropriate circumstances. While courts retain the authority to enforce the amendment window strictly, we leave the matter to their sound discretion to determine if and when extension of the time limit is appropriate.”)Fed. R.

Imprégné de contestation sociale, le premier album de l'artiste libanaise Mayssa Jallad fusionne ses deux vocations : la musique et la recherche urbaine. Sur un canevas de chansons en clair-obscur, aux climats parfois trip hop, elle y raconte un pan de la guerre du Liban, "La guerre des hôtels", et fait serpenter sa voix cristalline dans un orient sonore sensiblement mélancolique. Portrait. Compositrice, musicienne et chanteuse, mais aussi chercheuse en architecture et enseignante à Beyrouth, le parcours artistique de Mayssa Jallad est intimement lié aux événements dramatiques qu'a connus son pays, le Liban, en bord de Méditerranée. Depuis sa naissance il y a 33 ans, quelques mois seulement avant la fin de la guerre, jusqu'à aujourd'hui où elle choisit de rester vivre dans un pays qui connaît, selon la Banque mondiale, "la pire crise financière du monde moderne".Moitié du duo indie-rock Safar, 3 EPs au compteur, Mayssa Jallad vient de sortir son premier projet solo Marjaa : The Battle of the Hotels. Imprégné de contestation sociale, cet album conceptuel fusionne ses deux vocations : la musique et la recherche urbaine. Par le prisme de l'architecture, elle y raconte un pan de la guerre du Liban, "La guerre des hôtels", et fait serpenter sa voix cristalline sur un canevas de chansons en clair-obscur, aux climats parfois trip hop où se déploie un orient sonore sensiblement mélancolique.J'ai rencontré Mayssa Jallad dans le sud-est de la France, à Marseille, à la Friche de La Belle de Mai, une fabrique d'art et de culture investie cette année par le Babel Music XP, un forum international dédié aux musiques actuelles du monde. Mais c'est bel et bien dans les rues de Beyrouth que l'on a évolué ensemble, au croisement de la mémoire collective et de l'histoire personnelle, de l'engagement militant et de la ferveur intérieure.SessionLab par Hortense Volle : une conversation en toute intimité et en audio 3D (son spatialisé).

The Religion and Rituals of the Nomads of Pre-Islamic Arabia: A Reconstruction Based on the Safaitic Inscriptions (Brill, 2022) by Ahmad al-Jallad presents evidence for religious identity and ritual practices among the Safaitic-writing nomads of pre-Islamic Arabia. For this evidence, al-Jallad relies on a large corpus of rock-carved inscriptions in the Safaitic language. Unlike Islamic-period literary sources, this material was produced by practitioners of traditional Arabian religion; the inscriptions are eyewitnesses to the religious life of Arabian nomads prior to the spread of Judaism and Christianity across Arabia. Al-Jallad reconstructs this world using the original words of its inhabitants, interpreted through comparative philology, pre-Islamic and Islamic-period literary sources, and the archaeological context. In this episode we discuss the lifestyles, worldviews, belief systems, languages, and gender and social norms of the nomadic peoples of pre-Islamic Arabia based on the epigraphic evidence. Maggie Freeman is a PhD student in the School of Architecture at MIT. She researches uses of architecture by nomadic peoples and historical interactions of nomads and empires, with a focus on the modern Middle East. Learn more about your ad choices.

Join me as I discuss pre-Islamic Arabia, epigraphy, and Arabic with Dr. Ahmad Al-Jallad (twitter: @Safaitic). What is pre-Islamic Arabia and how can we know about it? How did pre-modern scholars approach the subject and what were their goals? How has the discovery of new inscriptions advanced our knowledge of pre-Islamic Arabia, the Qur'an, early-Islam, and the Arabic language? Why did people make inscriptions? How do we know an inscription is actually going back to a particular date?  What methodology is applied to determine the pronunciation of certain words in bilingual inscriptions and how important have such inscriptions been for the study of Arabic and other N.E languages? And much more! The professor also discusses some of his findings and the exciting stories behind them.    Link to Professor Ahmad Al-Jallad's Academia page: https://leidenuniv.academia.edu/AhmadAlJallad

What does it take to build a dream? Maybe an architect. Steven Jallad designs and oversees the building of homes in Naples, Florida. His path to architecture began with a love for drawing and working with his hands. He followed that passion as the thread in his life. The craft of carpentry during the summers kept his hands working while earning a degree in Architecture from the University of Virginia. Traveling to West Africa with the Peace Corps, he built homes that fit a very different environment. This sparked an interest in green design that took him to Colorado for the next 10 years to build "off the grid" homes - designing in the winter, building in the summer. In 2008, he traded in mountain style for beach style and moved to Naples, Florida. Yet, he hangs on to the thread of passion, continuing to build a dream through architecture. His personal journey inspires us to find the passion in life and continue to follow the thread. The thread from A to B is not always a straight line. Even as we make choices on how to weave our life, the loom of life takes us each on her own journey. Through ups and downs, sideways and detours, holding onto the thread is not always easy, but that is how to weave a life of passion and purpose. Listen to our conversation as Steven Jallad takes us into the life of an architect. In this interview … What does an architect do? How do you become an architect?

Like digging through archaeological layers, documenting the development of language and writing provides important clues about historical events. Recent discoveries in the deserts of Syria and Jordan are yielding clues not only about the origins of the Arabic writing system, but also about the rich history of the Arabs in the periods just before and after the rise of Islam. A new archaeological find seems to provide the first contemporary evidence of a major figure in the early history of Islam–and even more fascinating, it appears to have been written by a loyal Christian Arab subject. Ahmad al-Jallad, the incoming Sofia Chair of Arabic Studies at the Ohio State University, discusses his work in the desert of Jordan, and describes recent finds that paint a picture of a vibrant Christian Arab community in Syria, decades after the Islamic conquest.

Guest Ahmad al-Jallad shares his research that’s shedding new light on the writings of a complex civilization that lived in the Arabian peninsula for centuries before Islam arose.

In most world history survey courses, Arabia is introduced for the first time only as backstory to the rise of Islam. We’re told that there was a tradition of oral poetry in Arabic, a language native to central Arabia, and that the Qur’an was the zenith of this oral tradition. New evidence, however, suggests that Arabia was linguistically diverse, that the language we’ve come to know as Arabic originated in modern day Jordan, and that the looping cursive writing system that’s become the language’s hallmark wasn’t the original system used to write it. What to make of all this? Guest Ahmad al-Jallad has spent the past several summers digging in Jordan and Saudi Arabia, uncovering new inscriptions thousands of years old, and shares his research that’s shedding new light on the writings of a complex civilization that lived in the Arabian peninsula for centuries before Islam arose.
