Civil Liability for Animals

Civil Liability for Animals

Peter North

Oxford University Press
2012
nidottu
A comprehensive analysis of liability for animals this book covers harm done by dangerous and straying animals including both dangerous and non-dangerous species. Including a separate chapter on special provisions relating to dogs it provides unique guidance from an internationally renowned legal scholar. The book takes account of the decisions of the courts which have applied, interpreted and explained the Animals Act 1971 over the past four decades including the House of Lords decision in Mirvahedy v Henley (2003). Liability for animals which are not members of a dangerous species but which, in the event, may have been proved to be dangerous is a matter of particular interest and concern. The book addresses matters such as harm done by animals in the course of hunting as well as decisions on a number of non-statutory aspects of the law of animals. The book includes the primary material of the Animals Act, 1971 making it a comprehensive point of reference on this subject. An earlier version of this book was published in 1972 just after the Animals Act 1971 came into force. Although the legislation has remained substantially unamended, there has been a steady flow of case law on the meaning and operation of the provisions of the Act.
Occupiers' Liability

Occupiers' Liability

Oxford University Press

sidottu
Occupiers' liability is an area of tort law rich in statutory material and jurisprudence, having developed outside the framework of general negligence liability. It governs the duty of care which an occupier, landlord or builder owes to people who visit or trespass on their land. As the only text offering in depth analysis and commentary on the legislation and case law surrounding occupiers' liability, this book represents a key reference text for all those involved in advising on or researching this area. Each aspect of the law in this area is examined in detail, with the definitions of premises, occupiers, visitors, and trespassers analysed through a substantial body of case law. The types of harm which occupiers may be liable for and the available defences are also given detailed discussion. Further chapters are devoted to the specific provisions and precedents governing the scope of the statutory duty of care, liability of independent contractors, and the liability of occupiers to those who enter premises under contract. The text also covers the statutory regime and case law surrounding liability for defective premises under the Defective Premises Act 1972, which replaced provisions relating to this under the 1957 Occupiers' Liability Act. The book includes the full text of both the 1957 and the 1984 Occupiers' Liability Acts and of the Defective Premises Act 1972.
Private International Law Problems in Common Law Jurisdictions
This book is a revised updated version of the General Course of Lectures on Private International Law delivered at the Hague Academy of International Law in 1990. The overall purpose is to examine the development and reform of choice of law rules in a number of common law jurisdictions. Much has been written about the Revolution' in conflict of laws in the U.S.A.; rather less account, however, has been taken of the major changes elsewhere in the common law world. This work serves to provide a critical account of those developments over the past few decades. Some changes are more recent and of international origin, such as the European Community Rome Convention (1980) on the law applicable to contractual obligations or the Hague Conventions on Child Abduction (1980), on Marriage (1978) and on Succession (1988), and consideration is given to their impact on common law jurisdictions. The process of change is a continuous one and attention is also devoted to current proposals for reform in the fields, for example, of domicile and torts.
Alternative Currency Movements as a Challenge to Globalisation?
Over the past 15 years, local money networks, which are essentially trading networks using a community-created currency, have emerged in countries as far apart as Argentina, Australia and New Zealand, Canada and the US, continental Europe and Japan. They range from Local Exchange Trading Schemes (UK), to Time Dollars (US), Green Dollars (New Zealand, Australia and Canada), Trading Circles (Hungary), Barter Networks (Argentina) and Talents (Germany). Drawing on an ethnographic case study of alternative currency movements in Manchester, UK, this book provides an analysis of the motivations, aims, successes and failures of alternative currency networks. It also raises questions such as the contribution of the alternative currency movement to current debates about alternatives to neoliberalism. While it is theoretically informed, critical and grounded in fieldwork, it is also sympathetic to the political aims of the protagonists and cognisant of the non-economic benefits that arise from their development.
Money and Liberation

Money and Liberation

Peter North

University of Minnesota Press
2007
nidottu
Is conventional money simply a discourse? Is it merely a socially constructed unit of exchange? If money is not an actual thing, are people then free to make collective agreements to use other forms of currency that might work more effectively for them? Proponents of “better money” argue that they have created currencies that value people more than profitability, ensuring that human needs are met with reasonable costs and decent wages-and supporting local economies that emphasize local sustainability. How did proponents develop these new economies? Are their claims valid? Grappling with these questions and more, Money and Liberation examines the experiences of groups who have tried to build a more equitable world by inventing new forms of money. Presenting in-depth profiles of the trading networks that have been constructed both historically and more recently, including Local Exchange Trading Schemes (England), Green Dollars (New Zealand), Talente (Hungary), and the barter system in Argentina, Peter North shows how the use of currency has been redefined as part of political action, revealing surprising political ambiguity and a nuanced understanding of the potential and limits on alternative currencies as a resistance practice. Peter North is lecturer in geography at the University of Liverpool.

The 5 to 5 Basic Barbell Training Program: A simple Barbell training Program for Strength, Power Lifting and Strongman.
"I've trained in and around gyms all my life but I've never been as strong or powerful as I am following this program. I've put on major muscle mass and as hard gainer that's very important to me. I've been told by other instructors I'm I am too small to bench or squat 200lb..that I'm too skinny. But with this Barbell training program and with sessions from Peter I'm well on the way to personal best 300lb lifts. This for me is a major improvement. Buy this program and you will see improvements" A. Clarke "I am not new to Barbell training or Barbell training programs, but this one was refreshing for me. It's high intensity and if you're willing to do the work on repeat doubles and singles then your poundage's will sky rocket.

W.Harris-Power Lifter The 5 to 5 Basic Barbell Training Program-BUY NOW and smash your previous lifting best records just like many of my clients I've always been interested in Barbell training methods and I have a deep love of Barbell training as a whole. I came across variants of this program while studying pre 1960's Barbell training methods and designed this to explode my clients. I train using mostly a Barbell as done right I believe there is no better strength developer. Most of the assistance lifts in this program are also Barbell movements. The movement used in this program focus on movements used commonly in the early era's of lifting and in my view are still as valid and effective as they always were. A Bench press was considered a press if it was pressed from the chest, not this move is one of the key assistance lift in the Bench Press. This is included with the "from the chest Dumbbell Press". Other movements such as heavy partial Squats from partially Squatted start positions allow you to handle lift very heavy poundage's. The program requires no special equipment apart from a basic Barbell set up, some blocks and Heavy dumbbells or kettlebell. Following this program you will gain many benefits apart from strength gains such as improved body composition improvement, metabolism and lean muscle gain. You will also find a 5 to 5 Strongman Program to use in the gym to support conditioning work in Strongman training. Want to really lift more on the squat? Then buy the 5 to 5 Barbell training program with use of heavy partials, heavy single and double and double squats. This type of old school Barbell training will add major poundage's to you squat if performed consistently. Buy it now to see for yourself. Want to explode your bench press?

Coach Yourself To Peak Performance: How Sport Psychology can help you reach your Peak Performance Level
Coach Yourself to Peak Performance Over time I have gone through this process with many clients. I have seen this program work for them as it will work for you. I personally guarantee that you will reach your potential and even push beyond into hidden areas of peak performance. My promise to you from me if you follow this program: -I will build in you a solid focus only on what matters 100% in achieving your results. You will develop unshakeable focus. -I will develop in you an action focused mentality where you aim to build the habit of taking consistent positive actions towards your goals. -I will keep you strong in body so you can be strong in mind. -I will motivate you to the fullest of your ability in all things. Your Commitment to YOURSELF Over time working with many clients I have seen what it take takes to make the absolute most difference possible. I can tell you this with 100% certainty. This vital ingredient is COMMITMENT. Not to me not to the program but to yourself. How far you are willing to go for yourself is the one deciding factor in your success. So it is important to understand just what type of commitment you will be making before you set off using the tactics in this book. 1. Developing Focused Concentration-For this part of the program you will learn how to concentrate your resources and keep yourself focused only on what you want of need. This is about cutting out the waste and focusing on the vital most important aspects of your journey to reaching full potential. Think of this as a laser beam approach rather than a shotgun approach. 2-Developing the Action Habit-Nothing gets done without taking action. You can follow the other steps and equip yourself with all the tools you may need but if you don't take action your steps will be useless. These tactics just become words that you read on a page and don't apply. You will stay exactly where you are and won't reach any kind of potential at all. Don't be that type of person and read but not do. Remember if you know but don't do, than you don't really know at all. 3-Develop a "Strong Mind in a Strong Body"- Ok so you're doing everything you can to be focused only on what you want and to take action on it. You've done half of the equation, but you need to be able to keep going to keep energy high and survive the stresses of life with your health. More importantly to keep going you will need a sound physical body that will carry you forward and keep you mentally on track. Let the physical work be the base of your mental training and it will take you far. 4-Develop your Motivation Muscle-In order to push for peak potential then you have to know what drives you. You've heard that before right? But how many books tell you your ability for motivation is like a muscle that you can build over time. Well that is exactly what you're going to do here, and by building your motivation muscle you will have the ability to take yourself only as far as you want to go. Motivation will drive you forwards.

Naiads, nymphs, and sirens... Oh, my Drakkus, Lord of Chaos, has failed. His minions have fled the Ring Wood with their tails between their legs. Those that still have tails or legs to carry them, anyway. And it's all thanks to me, Logan Greenwood. Oh, pardon me. In this world, they call me 'Loghann Grenwyld' and apparently I'm the only living heir to the Emperor of the Five Realms. I've come a long way from that unhappy, directionless guy I was back at Pine Ridge Trailer Park, and I can't say it isn't all a bit surreal. But you can bet I'm going to take full advantage of this strange, magical world I've found myself in. In fact, I'd like nothing more than to relax and enjoy my victory. With a forest full of beautiful elves, nymphs, and dryads and the extremely grateful Priestess Kalia to keep me company, I can think of a few things I'd rather be doing than chasing down minions of chaos. But while Drakkus plots to spread corruption through the realms and to rob me of my rightful place as the next Emperor, I have no choice but to keep fighting. I'm off to the Azurian Seas, where I must convince another priestess to join my side. Trouble is, I'm magically bound to keep my true identity a secret and Priestess Cordelia's handmaidens won't let me get close enough to speak with her. Oh, and there's a massive, tentacled sea-monster on the loose.

Isekaied into an ice world? Could be worse... Right?Yeah, apparently it can be a whole lot worse...When Jay Morgan and his bestie, Molly O'Brian, take "wrong turn" to a whole new level, they end up sucked into a world that makes the arctic look like a beach vacation. Even worse? After a bump on the head during their trip through the portal, Molly's taking an unplanned nap of potentially eternal proportions, and Jay has no choice but to carry her through a frosty wilderness that gets weirder by the mile.Enter the Delvers: half-animal, half-nutjob nomads who tell Jay he can save Molly-if he's willing to brave the infamously cursed Ice Dungeon for a legendary item that is rumored to be able to heal portal-related injuries. No biggie, except Jay's about as prepared for dungeon diving as a penguin is for a desert marathon. No party, no class, no relevant skills... He's pretty much f*&$ed. If Jay wants Molly to survive, though, he has no choice but to try.So when an arctic fox-girl named Lyra appears, offering Jay a crash course in survival, of course he agrees. Turns out Lyra is an Arcane Archer with more quirks than arrows. There might be a reason she hasn't got a diving party of her own. Why are the cute ones always crazy? Crazy or not, though, the silver fox-girl is Jay's best shot at saving Molly.When you're battling frost monsters and your ally might be nuts, you either laugh or you cry. And Jay's not much of a crier. Can he save Molly and keep his sanity intact? With Lyra's "help," it's going to be a close call.

Uhh... Is she supposed to have that feral glint in her eyes?Jay Morgan managed to wake his best friend Molly O'Brian from the Portal Sleep that had claimed her. But Molly has changed after her experience in the enchanted dream sleep. Her sweet, bubbly nature is sometimes replaced by a fierce warrior woman Jay hardly recognizes. And this warrior woman has unexpected appetites... It's pretty hot. But Jay's not gonna lie. It's kinda scary, too. In order to help Molly gain control of her her violent and carnal urges, Jay and Lyra--the beautiful and deadly fox-kin archer--must help her become a Delver. Only through integration with the dungeon's magic will Molly be able to overcome her personal demons and harness the potential of the powers she unlocked in the Portal Sleep. Maybe she'll even join Jay and Lyra between the sheets instead of watching from the sidelines, too? Side-quest Accepted ] But Winterhaven's leader, the wily wolf-kin Runolf, will do anything he can to keep Jay and his party from ever entering the dungeon again. Jay must find allies to help his cause, level up, and get to the bottom of the corruption that has Winterhaven crushed under its thumb. All that, and keep the half-mad dungeon from killing him as it tries to make him stronger. Sure. No problem.
