You only have control over three things in your life—the thoughts you think, the images you visualize, and the actions you take. —Jack Canfield In the aftermath of unthinkable loss or catastrophic injury caused by the negligence of others, shock, uncertainty, and anger set in. You can't change what happened, but you can control your next steps with a plan—one that will help your family tackle the challenges ahead and ease the overwhelming burden. Few understand this more than nationally recognized lawyer Kyle Bachus. With more than twenty-five years of experience representing families in catastrophic injury and death cases, Kyle gained first-hand knowledge of his clients’ experiences when his own mother was struck and killed in a crosswalk. Now, in Unthinkable, Kyle provides a practical roadmap for navigating a path that no one chooses. He takes you through the process in chronological order, from what to expect in the police investigation to your rights as a victim and claiming victim’s compensation. You’ll gain the tools you need to handle numerous issues and unforeseen questions in the aftermath of tragedy, including insight into your options for holding those at fault accountable through the civil justice system. An invaluable asset for anyone struggling with next steps (or knows someone who is), Unthinkable is the guidance you need to control what you can, gain peace of mind, and focus on what truly counts.

Legislação canábica, um olhar ao redor do mundo

A indústria da cannabis vem crescendo exponencialmente em todo o mundo e seu desenvolvimento é atribuído aos compostos canabinoides, graças a seu potencial terapêutico e ao uso industrial da planta através do cânhamo. Compostos como o tetrahidrocanabinol (Δ9-THC) e o Cannabidiol (CBD) foram investigados pela indústria farmacêutica no tratamento de vários distúrbios da saúde. Entretanto, apesar dos avanços na legalização da cannabis, tem sido um desafio em alguns países, devido ao estigma e ao preconceito em relação à planta. À medida que os estados e governos estão entendendo que sanções e proibições para a planta de cannabis causam mais danos do que o uso da planta em si, é importante começar a discutir a regulação da cannabis com ferramentas verídicas baseadas em evidências científicas, e compreender a necessidade da justiça social, superando a imagem negativa que tem sido promulgada há vários anos para esta planta milenar. Por esta razão, a Pharmacology University, convida você a conhecer o processo regulatório e legal da planta de cannabis nos últimos tempos, explorando a situação jurídica atual a nível global, para que você possa compreender a importância desta planta como uma alternativa terapêutica e sustentável para a saúde e o bem-estar humano, trazendo grandes benefícios médicos, econômicos e ambientais.

Cannabis legislation, a look around the world

The cannabis industry has been growing exponentially globally and its development is attributed to cannabinoid compounds, thanks to their therapeutic potential and the industrial use of the plant through hemp. Compounds such as tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC), and Cannabidiol (CBD) have been investigated by the pharmaceutical industry in the treatment of various health disorders. However, despite advances in cannabis legalization, it has been a challenge in some countries because of stigmas and prejudices towards the plant. As states and governments are understanding that sanctions and prohibitions for the cannabis plant cause more harm than the use of the plant itself, it is important to start discussing cannabis regulation with truthful tools based on scientific evidence, and to understand the need for social justice, overcoming the negative image that has been promulgated for several years to this millenary plant. For this reason, Pharmacology University invites you to learn about the regulatory and legal process of the cannabis plant in recent times, exploring the current legal situation globally, so that you can understand the importance of this plant as a therapeutic and sustainable alternative for health and human welfare, bringing great medical, economic and environmental benefits.

[German] - Politik als Beruf

Max Webers Aufsatz “Politik als Beruf” ist ein grosser Klassiker der Politikwissenschaft. Weber gibt hier eine wichtige Definition des Staates und die drei Grundanforderungen an Politiker. In einer turbulenten Zeit ist Webers Text aktueller denn je. “Man kann sagen, daß drei Qualitäten vornehmlich entscheidend sind für den Politiker: Leidenschaft - Verantwortungsgefühl - Augenmaß.” Max Weber “Heute dagegen werden wir sagen müssen: Staat ist diejenige menschliche Gemeinschaft, welche innerhalb eines bestimmten Gebietes – dies: das „Gebiet“, gehört zum Merkmal – das Monopol legitimer physischer Gewaltsamkeit für sich (mit Erfolg) beansprucht.” Max Weber

The Institutes of Justinian: The sixth-century codification of Roman law

This recording has been digitally produced by DeepZen Limited, using a synthesized version of an audiobook narrator’s voice under license. DeepZen uses Emotive Speech Technology to create digital narrations that offer a similar listening experience to human narration. The Institutes of Justinian is a component of the Corpus Juris Civilis, the sixth-century codification of Roman law ordered by the Byzantine emperor Justinian I. It is largely based upon the Institutes of Gaius, a Roman jurist of the second century A.D. The other parts of the Corpus Juris Civilis are the Digest, the Codex Justinianus, and the Novellae Constitutiones ('New Constitutions' or 'Novels'). Justinian's Institutes was one part of his effort to codify Roman law and to reform legal education, of which the Digest also was a part. Whereas the Digest was to be used by advanced law students, Justinian's Institutes was to be a textbook for new students. The Institutes of Justinian is arranged much like Gaius's work, being divided into three books covering 'persons,' 'things,', and 'actions.' Unlike the Digest, the extracts do not provide inscriptions indicating from whom the original material was taken.

A Good Country: My Life in Twelve Towns and the Devastating Battle for a White America

A leading advocate for social justice excavates the history of forced migration in the twelve American towns she's called home, revealing how White supremacy has fundamentally shaped the nation. "At a time when many would rather ban or bury the truth, Ali-Khan bravely faces it in this bracing and necessary book."-Ayad Akhtar, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Homeland Elegies Sofia Ali-Khan's parents emigrated from Pakistan to America, believing it would be a good country. With a nerdy interest in American folk history and a devotion to the rule of law, Ali-Khan would pursue a career in social justice, serving some of America's most vulnerable communities. By the time she had children of her own-having lived, worked, and worshipped in twelve different towns across the nation-Ali-Khan felt deeply American, maybe even a little extra American for having seen so much of the country. But in the wake of 9/11, and on the cusp of the 2016 election, Ali-Khan's dream of a good life felt under constant threat. As the vitriolic attacks on Islam and Muslims intensified, she wondered if the American dream had ever applied to families like her own, and if she had gravely misunderstood her home. In A Good Country, Ali-Khan revisits the color lines in each of her twelve towns, unearthing the half-buried histories of forced migration that still shape every state, town, and reservation in America today. From the surprising origins of America's Chinatowns, the expulsion of Maroon and Seminole people during the conquest of Florida, to Virginia's stake in breeding humans for sale, Ali-Khan reveals how America's settler colonial origins have defined the law and landscape to maintain a White America. She braids this historical exploration with her own story, providing an intimate perspective on the modern racialization of American Muslims and why she chose to leave the United States. Equal parts memoir, history, and current events, A Good Country presents a vital portrait of our nation, its people, and the pathway to a better future.

The Flow of Illicit Funds: A Case Study Approach to Anti-Money Laundering Compliance

Money laundering is a serious crime that presents a heightened, yet underrated, global threat. Although often thought of as a victimless crime, money laundering significantly impacts the global financial system, which leads to further crime, corruption, human exploitation, and environmental degradation and causes tremendous human suffering, especially in the most impoverished populations. Recent advances in technology, communications, and globalization mean there are more illicit funds in circulation today than ever before. In order to catch these criminals, compliance professionals must learn to navigate an increasingly complex web of criminal activity. In The Flow of Illicit Funds, Ola M. Tucker goes beyond the implementation of anti-money laundering compliance programs offered by most guides and provides professionals with a holistic understanding of the modern money laundering system. Using recent case studies, Tucker explains some of the most common money laundering techniques used by criminals today, describes the key role of the financial system in the disguise and transfer of illicit funds, and offers valuable insight into how financial institutions can protect themselves from being used as conduits for the movement of dirty money. The book concludes by offering suggestions to help compliance professionals better detect and deter money laundering.
