Flim-flam artists, captains of industry, Wall Street piranhas, impatient mobsters, spinmeisters and assorted mountebanks abound in Ultimate Severance, a highly satirical and imaginative novel that provides a public relations guidebook to the reality of spin and humbuggery in the 21st Century. With the end of the War on Terror through the accidental launch of new liten kleen nukes, a culture of euphoria, ethical and social impairment and calls for numerous peace dividends is again in fashion. This is clearly an environment of business opportunity for financially-bleeding Trotter Pugg Mitchell, a world PR giant, and its clients such as Old Masters Originals, a maker of limited edition reproduc...

Dari lima kandidat yang memperebutkan kekuasaan, satu sudah mati, satu lagi tidak disukai, dan masih terjadi perang kemarahan yang dibuat oleh aliansi. Joffrey duduk di atas Iron Throne, penguasa gelisah dari Seven Kingdoms. Saingannya yang paling sengit, Lord Stannis, dikalahkan dan malu, mangsa dari penyihir wanita yang menjadikannya sebagai budak. Young Robb masih menguasai North dari benteng milik Riverrun. Sementara itu, membuat jalannya menyeberangi benua blood-drenched adalah sebuah pengasingan Daenerys, nyonya tiga naga yang masih tersisa di dunia. Dan sebagai manuver kekuatan perlawanan untuk akhir pertikaian, pasukan barbar tiba dari batas terluar peradaban, disertai dengan segerombolan lainnya—tentara gaib yang bangkit dari kematian tidak dapat dihentikan. Karena masa depan negeri bergantung pada keseimbangan, tidak ada satu pun yang beristirahat sampai Seven Kingdoms meledakkan badai pedang yang sesungguhnya. ----------------------- Sebuah serial novel aksi yang diangkat menjadi serial di HBO, Game of Thrones. #Fantasious
Bringing Human Rights Back: Embracing Human Rights as a Mechanism for Addressing Gaps in United States Law examines well-documented policy failures in the United States and makes an argument for how a human rights approach to these issues can lead to meaningful change. Specifically, the authors articulate a human rights approach to online harassment of women, child poverty, and access to safe drinking water. These issue areas all involve human rights concerns and gross shortcomings within current law, policy, and practice in the United States. The authors analyze recent events, such as Gamergate, contention over social programs such as TANF and CHIP, and the water crises in Flint and Detroit to demonstrate the ways in which current laws do not fully respect, protect, and fulfill human rights. A human rights approach decenters assigning blame or liability, and instead emphasizes human dignity, redress, and remedy for the rights violations. Daniel Tagliarina and Corinne Tagliarina not only highlight the need for change in these areas, but outline a practical way forward rooted in human rights scholarship and practice.

He talked of...
