Feminist City is an ongoing experiment in living differently, living better, and living more justly in an urban world. We live in the city of men. Our public spaces are not designed for female bodies. There is little consideration for women as mothers, workers or carers. The urban streets often are a place of threats rather than community. Gentrification has made the everyday lives of women even more difficult. What would a metropolis for working women look like? A city of friendships beyond Sex and the City. A transit system that accommodates mothers with strollers on the school run. A public space with enough toilets. A place where women can walk without harassment. In Feminist City, throu...
As a result of a horrific foul in the first game of the season, Luton FC player Andrew Ashford suffers a leg fracture resulting in a four-month recovery period. His current manager drops him from the squad and none of the other clubs wants a player who has just returned from a long-term injury. Unexpectedly, he finds himself offered a mid-season loan to Doğan Türk Birliği, a North Cyprus football club, based in Kyrenia. All is going well, until his agent, Lewis Orland, disappears when his flat in Majorca goes up in flames. As no body gets recovered from the flat, the search for Orland continues. Andrew then discovers that it wasn't a coincidence Orland had sent him to the peaceful island, unaware of the terrifying dangers that lie ahead. When Andrew falls for a beautiful Cypriot girl named Aysha, who incidentally is the club chairman's daughter, he has a decision to make. Will he settle down with her and live in Cyprus, or will he go back to the UK and pursue his dreams at a higher professional level? However, before making up his mind, he needs to be certain that any dangers awaiting him have passed... if they ever will!
Significant changes have taken place in the policy landscape surrounding cannabis legalization, production, and use. During the past 20 years, 25 states and the District of Columbia have legalized cannabis and/or cannabidiol (a component of cannabis) for medical conditions or retail sales at the state level and 4 states have legalized both the medical and recreational use of cannabis. These landmark changes in policy have impacted cannabis use patterns and perceived levels of risk. However, despite this changing landscape, evidence regarding the short- and long-term health effects of cannabis use remains elusive. While a myriad of studies have examined cannabis use in all its various forms, ...

In his book Human Rights: Group Defamation, Freedom of Expression and the Law of Nations, Thomas David Jones presents a discussion and analysis of the laws governing group defamation and speech inciteful of racial hatred in Great Britain, Canada, India, Nigeria, and the United States. Although there exists no federal group defamation law in the United States, a few state legislatures have promulgated group defamation statutes, while a cause of action for group defamation has been recognized as justiciable in the decision law of other states. Mr Jones describes his theory as constitutional minimalism because he does not advocate the legal proscription of all derogatory hate speech. Only the sub-category of hate speech that fulfills the standard elements of proof found in common law defamation claim will be prosecuted criminally by the federal government. The author further asserts that a carefully and narrowly drafted federal criminal group defamation statute will pass constitutional muster without creating a conflict with First Amendment rights.
