Josh Lang went to London with investigative journalism on his mind, but he carved out a reputation as a fixer instead and mastered the art of spinning any client out of a crisis. Now he's home in Brisbane, and this time the job is supposed to be good news. The client is a law firm, the talent is Ben Harkin, and the story is the Star of Courage Ben is about to be awarded for his bravery in a siege. But it was Josh's messy past with Ben that was a big part of his move to London in the first place, and the closer he gets to Ben's story the more the cracks start to show. Throw in a law student who's an exotic dancer by night, and a mini-golf tour of the Gold Coast, and Josh's pursuit of the truth becomes way more complicated than he'd ever expected. Written with warmth, humour and a touch of the detective, The Fix will leave you guessing until the very last page.
What means to be 'the Messiah'? «Messiah is, in the Abrahamic religions, the descendant King of David, promised by the prophets to the Hebrew people; that man filled with the Holy Spirit of God. Throughout history there were many people who were considered Messiahs, but it is generally understood that this particular title is assigned to the chosen messenger of God, who will bring peace to mankind by establishing the Kingdom of God.» (Wikipedia) The concept of an expected Savior is common in many cultures, and is understood as a response to the injustices and evils of the world that humanity itself as a society has not come to resolve. Such an idea has a huge force that it is even used to ...

Conversing Identities: Encounters Between British, Irish and Greek Poetry, 1922-1952 presents a panorama of cultures brought in dialogue through travel, immigration and translation set against the insularity imposed by war and the hegemony of the national centre in the period 1922-1952. Each chapter tells a story within a specific time and space that connected the challenges and fissures experienced in two cultures with the goal to explore how the post-1922 accentuated mobility across frontiers found an appropriate expression in the work of the poets under consideration. Either influenced by their actual travel to Britain or Greece or divided in their various allegiances and reactions to nat...
This handbook examines a wide range of current legal and policy issues at the intersection of marketing and the law. Focusing on legal outcomes that depend on measurements and interpretations of consumer and firm behavior, the chapters explore how consumers form preferences, perceptions, and beliefs, and how marketers influence them. Specific questions include the following: How should trademark litigation be valued and patent damages assessed? What are the challenges in doing so? What divides certain marketing claims between fact and fiction? Can a litigant establish secondary meaning without a survey? How can one extract evidence on consumer behavior with the explosion of social media? This unique volume at the intersection of marketing and the law brings together an international roster of scholars to answer these questions and more.

Il s'agit d'une thèse sur la conception que le monde antique - et pas si ancien - a eu d'un Sauveur ou "Messie", du zoroastrisme passant au judaïsme, jusqu'à nos jours. Je suis né à Eilat (sud du Néguev, en Israël), et j'ai passé des années à étudier les langues sémitiques et leur comparaison avec les autres, ainsi que l'étymologie des mots et la racine des alphabets. J'ai également scruté pendant près de deux décennies les écritures sacrées, à la fois hébraïques et d'autres cultures. J'ai voulu réaliser ce travail comme une synthèse des résultats de mes recherches sur ce sujet et les rapports qu'il entretient avec la vision sociopolitique du peuple hébreu. Cela aid...
