Описание: This book provides an extensive analytical examination of the Cape Town Convention and its Protocols. The Convention aims to facilitate asset-based financing and leasing of aircraft, railway and space objects by establishing a uniform legal regime for the creation and protection of security and related interests in these types of equipment. The book provides a detailed treatment of issues arising from the creation of security and other international interests under the Convention, from the need to ensure their priority among competing interests to the enforcement of remedies in the case of the debtor’s default or insolvency. Security interests in aircraft, railway and space objects are among the most frequently invoked mechanisms used to ensure repayment of the debt. It is their significance, effectiveness and frequency of use that explains this work’s focus and scope.

Автор: Maher Sanam Название: A Woman Like Her: The Story Behind the Honor Killing of a Social Media Star ISBN: 1612198406 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781612198408 Издательство: Random House (USA) Рейтинг: Цена: 17160.00 T Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии. Описание: The murder of a Pakistani social media star exposes a culture divided between accelerating modernity and imposed traditional values--and the tragedy of those caught in the middle. In 2016, Pakistan's first social media celebrity, Qandeel Baloch, was murdered in a suspected honor killing. Her death quickly became a media sensation. It was both devastatingly routine and breathtakingly brutal, and in a new media landscape, it couldn't be ignored. Qandeel had courted attention and outrage with a talent for self-promotion that earned her comparisons to Kim Kardashian--and made her the constant victim of harassment and death threats. Social media and reality television exist uneasily alongside honor killings and forced marriages in a rapidly, if unevenly, modernizing Pakistan, and Qandeel Baloch's story became emblematic of the cultural divide. In this deftly reported and artfully told account, Sanam Maher reconstructs the story of Qandeel's life and explores the depth and range of her legacy from her impoverished hometown rankled by her infamy, to the aspiring fashion models who follow her footsteps, to the Internet activists resisting the same vicious online misogyny she faced. Maher depicts a society at a crossroads, where women serve as an easy scapegoat for its anxieties and dislocations, and teases apart the intrigue and myth-making of the Qandeel Baloch story to restore the humanity of the woman at its center.
Автор: Maher Paul Название: Tom waits on tom waits: interviews and encounters [ ISBN: 1845137477 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781845137472 Издательство: Hachette UK Рейтинг: Цена: 16180.00 T Наличие на складе: Поставка под заказ. Описание: Tom Waits, even with his barnyard growl and urban hipster yawp, may just be what the Daily Telegraph calls him: ‘the greatest entertainer on Planet Earth.’ Over a span of almost four decades, he has transformed his music and persona not to suit the times but his whims. Along with Bob Dylan, he stands as one of American music’s last elder statesmen, still capable of putting out records that matters. Journalists intent upon cracking the code are more likely to come out of a Waits interview with anecdotes about the weather, insects, or medieval medicine. He is, in essence, the teacher we wished we had, dispensing insights such as: ‘Vocabulary is my main instrument’; ‘We all like music, but what we really want is for music to like us’; ‘Anything you absorb you will ultimately secrete’; and ‘There is no such thing as non-fiction … People who really know what happened aren’t talking. And the people who don’t have a clue, you can’t shut them up.’ Tom Waits on Tom Waits is a selection of over 50 interviews, the majority of which have never been collected in book form before, in which Waits shares something truly unique with his readers. Taken together they present a de facto autobiography of a notoriously guarded artist.

Автор: Rami A Maher Название: Optimal Control Engineering with Matlab ISBN: 1624171915 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781624171918 Издательство: Nova Science Рейтинг: Цена: 211190.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: For control engineers, optimal control is a tool to design a primal controller which secures system stability and fulfils a certain set of specifications via the optimisation of a specific performance index. In this way, troublesome trial-and-error controller tuning procedures are avoided. The next step is to assess the possibility of practical implementation, and this usually leads to a need to implement some controller trade-offs. To this end, this book aims to construct bridges between conventional parameter optimisation and the methods of optimal control theory. Optimal Control Engineering with Matlab teaches students efficiently how to apply the well-known standard optimal control theory as well as recently developed methods for the practical implementation of optimal controllers for dynamic systems. In this book, the author uses his experience gained over twenty-five years of teaching and supervising graduate and postgraduate students in many engineering specialisations to communicate the essentials of a very important branch of control system theory to a new generation of engineering students.
Woodson Maher is neither an attorney nor a law-enforcement officer. He has never sat on a jury nor spent much time learning living-room law from the likes of Perry Mason, Judge Faith, or Andy Griffith.
None of that matters in Curious Crimes. What matters is that Maher wrote this book based on his own experience dealing with the vagaries and vexations of a criminal justice system that is anything but blind, and seemingly tone deaf and downright dumb.
Maher, a longtime marketing professional, recent public school teacher in Memphis, and author of Margin of Error, a 2017 book that shines light on the civil rights issue of standardized testing in public schools, this time takes on the United States' criminal justice system.
Maher openly shares his own case of how he was charged with driving drunk in an isolated, West Tennessee community. What ensued was a bizarre case of stereotypical small-town, kangaroo-court 'justice' featuring a clueless defense attorney and a case that was at first dismissed only to be resurrected and prosecuted by an elected district attorney and an accommodating judge.
As a result, Maher's professional career was effectively terminated. Only later did he also discover a court error in which his conviction and sentencing dates had been incorrectly recorded. It was a bone-headed error that for years kept showing up in background checks at the most inopportune times, such as when Maher was interviewing for a jobs or seeking rental housing.
Curious Crimes isn't just about Maher's drunk-driving case--It's also a primer of sorts, offering a brief history of criminal justice from biblical times through the early 21st century. This expose on lawfulness shares insights into boards of responsibility and the sway of justice among the races. His open record requests provide evidence that something is definitely wrong with America's current, rigged system of democracy.
Maher also covers everything you want, and need, to know about the fallacies and subtleties of how drunk driving laws have evolved and how they are administered, to all that is frightening and unforgiving about background checks, to the corruption and mismanagement of private, for-profit prisons.
In Curious Crimes, Maher doesn't shine a spotlight from 30,000 feet while examining and expounding on how criminal justice works (or malfunctions). Instead, he reports from the front lines, utilizing open-records requests while sharing his own experiences dealing with the baffling, troubling world of law and order. Included here is his experience with a head-scratching DUI charge straight out of The Dukes of Hazzard.
Among the topics Maher covers in Curious Crimes:
An historical overview and analysis of legal ethics that begins with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and goes through the early 21st century, where a decades-old "War on Drugs" continues to wreak prejudicial chaos.
How the U.S. leads the world in incarceration rates, accounting for only about 5 percent of the world's population yet 25 percent of the its prison population.
How antiquated DUI/DWI laws still fall well short of addressing other types of distracted driving every bit as dangerous as boozing and taking the wheel.
Corruption and mistreatment of prisoners inside private, for-profit prisons, which burn through billions in taxpayer dollars while remaining protected from public scrutiny.
A look at how boards of responsibility really operate, seemingly more concerned with protecting their own vs. serving the citizenry.
Why everyone in America should be as adamant in checking their criminal history as they are their credit history; you never know what might be erroneously lurking on your paper trail.

Описание: This volume, the thirty-fourth year of published proceedings, contains five papers and commentaries presented to the Boston Area Colloquium in Ancient Philosophy during academic year 2017-18. Paper topics include: the nature of unity in the Parmenides ; the role of generation in understanding the priority of activity in Aristotle’s Metaphysics ; the relation of language and craft in Plato’s critique of sophistry; the ambiguous place of pity for one’s slave in the Epicurean sage’s hedonistic egoism; using the distinction of praising and prizing as pointing toward the higher status of happiness to virtue in NE X.6-8. The commentators do their work in challenging some of these claims and supporting others. Contributors are Kelly Arenson, Daniel Gardner, David Horan, Colin King, Max Latona, D.C. Schindler, Mark Sentesy, Daniel Shartin, Susan Stark and Jan Szaif.
