Issuing death sentences or imprisonment is the jurisdiction of the court, based on the evidence presented by the Ministry of Interior. However, the Ministry of Interior is responsible for following the subject until the arrest of the mastermind of this crime. Talking about the implementation of public death sentences is usually accompanied by a lot of different opinions. Some think it may be harsh, while others see A hilcopter it as a lesson for those who believe they can commit such a crime and escape punishment. In some cases, execution, public or not, is necessary. The death penalty could be a step against drugs dealers, but it will not stop this trade, even if it helps to reduce its occurrence. It is likely that the money could be used to finance terrorist operations, and this theory is worth looking into. Terrorist organizations could be behind this crime and not just individuals, because millions of dinars are involved. This is beyond a one-man show.

Differences melt and fade in the world of the young who have a lot more in common deep down despite where they grew up and how they were brought up. Australian photographer Vivien Allender has been trav- eling the globe to get acquainted with teens and preteens around the world. Kuwait was one of her stops. Vivien is a photographic artist, an educator and an inspiration seek- er. She came to Kuwait in coordination with a Kuwaiti friend who introduced her to a group of kids. “I found Kuwaiti children sweet, smart, well-mannered and vibrant. My friend Farah introduced me to some Kuwaiti tweens and teens. Teens are fascinating. So much goes on in the years between childhood and adulthood!” Vivien told Kuwait Times. She noticed that while dealing with this age group, the younger ones are less difficult to photograph, while the older girls tend to care more about their image. “Older girls are at least more concerned with their looks. I asked them to come in their natural and casual state, but many girls ended up wearing makeup. They don’t know their natural beauty! I think they’ll only understand the power of their own natural beauty when they get older,” Vivien explained.

  • Health, Race, and the Environment in the British Greater Caribbean
    Atlantic Bodies: Health, Race, and the Environment in the British Greater Caribbean Katherine Johnston Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 © 2016 Katherine Johnston All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Atlantic Bodies: Health, Race, and the Environment in the British Greater Caribbean Katherine Johnston This dissertation examines the relationship between race and bodily health in the British West Indies and the Carolina/Georgia Lowcountry from the late seventeenth through the early nineteenth century. In the eighteenth century, planters often justified African slavery by claiming that Africans, unlike Europeans, had bodies particularly suited to labor in warm climates. Historians have tended to take these claims as evidence of a growing sense of biological race in plantation societies. Much of this work, though, relies on published sources. This dissertation examines these public sources, including medical manuals, natural histories, and political pamphlets, alongside private sources, particularly the personal correspondence of planters and slaveholders to uncover a different story of race and slavery. These two source types reveal significant discrepancies between planters’ public rhetoric and private beliefs about health, race, and the environment in plantation societies. First, correspondence between the Greater Caribbean and Britain demonstrates that health and disease did not contribute to the development of racial slavery in the Atlantic. Second, these sources show how and why planters manipulated public conceptions of climate and health to justify and maintain a system of racial slavery. Planters insisted on climate-based arguments for slavery in spite of their experiences in the Americas, rather than because of them.

  • GEORGIA COLONY Reading Comprehension
    GEORGIA COLONY Reading Comprehension The colony of Georgia, located directly in between the English colony of South Carolina and the Spanish colony of Florida, was the subject of frequent military invasions by both sides until the Yamasee War (1715–1716) left the area devoid of people. In 1732, James Oglethorpe received a royal charter for the Province of Georgia. It was named after King George I. Oglethorpe imagined the area as a refuge for England's poor people, who were crowded together in debtors’ prisons. In 1733, 116 settlers arrived in modern-day Savannah aboard the HMS Anne. Georgia would become the last of the English colonies in the New World. Soon, immigrants throughout the world came to Georgia in the hopes of being awarded generous land grants, and Georgia quickly become a major center for the export of rice, indigo, beef, and pork. In 1742, British forces, under James Oglethorpe, attacked a garrison of Spanish soldiers near present-day St. Simon's Island in what came to be known as the Battle of Bloody Run. After about an hour, the Spanish were defeated and permanently abandoned their attempts to invade Georgia. 1.) Why was Georgia the subject of many 6.)

The films in the series span a period of nearly 50 years, opening with Malick’s 1970s breakthroughs Badlands (1973) and Days of Heaven (1978), through his career-revival masterworks The Thin Red Line (1998) and The New World (2005), and continuing with his 21st- century films—from Cannes Palme d’Or winner The Tree of Life (2011); the trio of To the Wonder (2012), Knight of Cups (2015), and Song to Song (2017); and sole documentary project Voyage of Time (2016)—through to this year’s A Hidden Life.

In a corresponding 40-man roster move, the A’s have also designated Triple-A outfielder Nick Buss for assignment. Samardzija (pronounced suh-MAHR-jah), 29, currently ranks 10th in ERA among National League starting pitchers with a 2.83 figure and 2-7 record in 17 games, all starts, for the Cubs. The 6-5, 225-pound right-hander has struck out 103 batters, walked only 31 and allowed 99 hits in 108.0 innings. He has posted a 1.20 WHIP and yielded a .245 opponents’ batting average this season. The Merrillville, Ind. native has averaged 8.84 strikeouts per nine innings since the start of the 2011 season, the seventh- best mark in the National League during that period. Samardzija was also one of four NL pitchers last year to reach 213.2 innings and 214 strikeouts, joining the Dodgers’ Clayton Kershaw, the Phillies’ Cliff Lee and the Cardinals’ Adam Wainwright.

Mirow Florida International University College of Law, Miami, Florida, USA [email protected] Summary Legal historians have surmised that court records of the British province of East Florida (1763-1783) have been either lost or destroyed. This assumption was based on the poor conditions for survival of documents in Florida and statements made in the secondary literature on the province. Nonetheless, a significant number of documents related to the courts of British East Florida exist in the National Archives (Kew). These materials reveal an active legal culture using English law in a wide range of courts including (1) the Court of Common Pleas; (2) the Court of Chancery; (3) the Court of General Sessions of the Peace, Oyer et Terminer, Assize and General Gaol Delivery; (4) Special Courts of Oyer et Terminer; (5) the Court of Vice-Admiralty; (6) the Court of Ordinary; (7) the General Court; and (8) a District Court. This article studies a portion of the documents related to the Court of Common Pleas to describe the nature of the court’s practice in civil litigation.
