Dred Scott: The Inside Story

Dred Scott: The Inside Story

David T. Hardy

Independently Published
2019
nidottu
Gold Medal for historical nonfiction, 2019 African American Historical and Genealogical Society Book Awards Much has been written about Dred Scott, the historic Supreme Court ruling that did so much to elect Abraham Lincoln and bring on the Civil War. Yet many mysteries have remained. Why did Dred Scott's attorneys sue a New York City businessman, who had no apparent claim to holding him in slavery? Why did the businessman claim in court that he owned the Scott family? Was the case a coincidence, or a pro-slavery set-up that backfired? Did Chief Justice Taney secretly tip off President-elect Buchanan as to the outcome?Dred Scott: The Inside Story answers these questions once and for all. Relying upon 19th century newspaper articles, presidential archives, and a key unpublished autobiography of an eyewitness to the most critical event, it rewrites the history of this pivotal court case. The case was based on collusion, and engineered by powerful pro-slavery attorney Reverdy Johnson. The New York City businessman posed as the Scott family's owner to protect the real slaveholder: his sister Irene. Irene did not want to be named as the slaveholder, because she had married a prominent anti-slavery congressman. Abolitionists who accused the Chief Justice of whispering a tip in President Buchanan's ear had no idea how right they were. But Buchanan didn't need a whispered tip, members of the Supreme Court had secretly written him to disclose the ruling, and he had successfully lobbied one of them into changing his vote.Imagine a reality in which people can own other people, or a person can buy himself, and become free. A reality where slaves can sue their masters, and have a jury decide whether they are really free. Into this not-alternate reality came a remarkable cast of Americans: Dred and Harriet Scott - the slaves whose suit for freedom sparked a battle in the Supreme Court and in the White House. John F. A. Sanford - the mountain man turned New York millionaire, who agreed to pose as the Scott's owner. Rep. Calvin Chaffee - the prominent Massachusetts abolitionist, who was shocked to discover that he and his wife owned slaves. Roger Taney - Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, who tried to preserve the Union by protecting slavery, and instead brought on the Civil War and slavery's abolition. Abraham Lincoln - the failed frontier politician who awoke one morning to realize that Taney and Buchanan had given him the roadmap to the White House. David T. Hardy, attorney and N.Y. Times best-selling author, explores the side of Dred Scott not explored in the history books, a side that involved mistakes, trickery, and skulduggery at the highest levels.
Simio y Simulación: Modelado, Análisis, Aplicaciones: Simio and Simulation: Modeling, Analysis, Applications - Spanish Translation
Enjoy learning a key technology. Undergraduates and beginning graduates in both first and second simulation courses have responded positively to the approach taken in this text, which illustrates simulation principles using the popular Simio product. Content: This textbook explains how to use simulation to make better business decisions in application domains from healthcare to mining, heavy manufacturing to supply chains, and everything in between. It is written to help both technical and non-technical users better understand the concepts and usefulness of simulation. It can be used in a classroom environment or in support of independent study. Modern software makes simulation more useful and accessible than ever and this book illustrates simulation concepts with Simio, a leader in simulation software. Author Statement: This book can serve as the primary text in first and second courses in simulation at both the undergraduate and beginning-graduate levels. It is written in an accessible tutorial-style writing approach centered on specific examples rather than general concepts, and covers a variety of applications including an international flavor. Our experience has shown that these characteristics make the text easier to read and absorb, as well as appealing to students from many different cultural and applications backgrounds.A first simulation course would probably cover Chapter 1 through 8 thoroughly, and likely Chapters 9 and 10, particularly for upper class or graduate level students. For a second simulation course, it might work to skip or quickly review Chapters 1-3 and 6, thoroughly cover all other chapters up to Chapter 10, and use Chapter 11 as reinforcing assignments.The text or components of it could also support a simulation module of a few weeks within a larger survey course in programs without a stand-alone simulation course (e.g., MBA). For a simulation module that's part of a larger survey course, we recommend concentrating on Chapters 1, 4, and 5, and then perhaps lightly touch on Chapters 7 and 8.The extensibility introduced in Chapter 11 could provide some interesting project work for a graduate student with some programming background, as it could be easily linked to other research topics. The all new Chapter 12 will support learning about Industry 4.0, digital twins, and how simulation and simulation-based scheduling can contribute to successful implementations. Supplemental course material is also available on-line.Fifth Edition Changes: The new fifth edition is written for Simio Version 10, the latest in simulation technology. We have incorporated many new features as well as reader suggestions. We have enhanced the Monte Carlo, input analysis, and output analysis content, and added new coverage of data-driven and data-generated modeling techniques. Finally, we added a new chapter named Simulation-based Scheduling in Industry 4.0 which illustrates how simulation is contributing to the creation and effective operation of digital twins and operational scheduling and control.
European and UK Trade Mark Law

This book sets out to explain the fundamental principles governing the legal protection of trade marks in the United Kingdom and the European Union. After an in-depth analysis of the multifarious functions of trade marks in a market economy, the author undertakes what must surely be the most exhaustive study ever attempted of the so-called absolute grounds on which trade marks may be denied registration. The treatment of the subject is rigorous, scholarly, critical, and occasionally iconoclastic. The book is essential reading for anyone - lawyers, teachers, judges, businesspeople - interested in the subject of trade mark law. David T. Keeling is a British barrister who was an official of the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg for a lengthy period before moving to Alicante in 1996 to join the EU's newly created trade mark office (now called the European Union Intellectual Property Office or EUIPO). He was a member of the Boards of Appeal of the Office for 15 years, during which time he wrote over a thousand decisions on trade mark appeals.

For a cocktail with only two ingredients, the flavour potential is staggering! Making a gin tonica is an intricate process, sometimes taking a barman as long as 15 minutes to deliver the ideal drink. The ice has to be dense so that it melts slowly, the glass might be spritzed with a fine layer of citrus oil, chilled to perfection, with the tonic poured in delicately. No detail is ignored, the wait is part of the experience, and the result is absolutely delicious. Attention to detail and respect for the classic is what truly elevates the Spanish gin tonica above all others. With more gin brands and styles of tonic available than ever before, and 40 inspired recipes here to try at home, there has never been a better time to discover the joy of the gin tonica – saludos!
Christ's Holy Square

Christ's Holy Square

When Leonardo da Vinci painted his Last Supper he did not know that on the table in front of Jesus Christ was a shallow wooden tray, not quite square in shape and measuring about the span of a hand across. Laid out in the tray in a special pattern were thirteen pieces of pot, varying in both colour and shape, and each one with a Greek letter engraved into it. During the proceedings Jesus gave out the pieces to his disciples, keeping one for himself. Over the next half century the pieces travelled far and wide with their owners, then became lost to the world.A chance finding of a Dead Sea Scroll almost two thousand years later revealed an account of the Last Supper. It also revealed that if mankind did not 'mend its ways' God would destroy the Earth and all that lived upon it. But he did give mankind a get-out. All thirteen pieces of pot had first to be located then re-assembled in their origin positions within a wooden square by the leaders of the thirteen most powerful nations in the World to show their commitment to making the world a better place.The task of locating the pieces fell to a professor of archaeology at an English University. Once done 'Christ's Holy Square', as he called it, was re-assembled at the UN. But that wasn't the end of the story for mankind did not keep its promise. God was about to wreak his revenge when he discovered a threat from far beyond the Sun's boundaries.
