Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Judge Jury & Executioner by SA Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Judge Jury & Executioner by S.A. Bargsley Judge Jury & Executioner by S.A. Bargsley. Once upon a time we were privileged to have barristers and lawyers like Justice M.R Kayani, Justice A.R Cornelius, Justice Dorab Patel and Mohammed Ali Jinnah- men who were the very embodiment of brilliance, hard work and gravitas. They were circumspect in their personal as well as public dealings and were a credit to the nation. Now our icons of the past must be turning in their graves at the unsightly spectacle of furious lawyers attacking and ransacking Judge Pervez Ali Shah’s courtroom in Rawalpindi because of their opposition to the death penalty handed down to Salman Taseer’s assassin Mumtaz Qadri. Aside from the religious sentiments being provoked of such ‘Aashiq e Rasool’ (lovers of the Prophet) amongst the legal fraternity, this situation begs the question: if lawyers themselves do not respect judicial verdicts, then who will? Are they not bound by the tenets of their profession to pay heed to court decisions? Surely, discipline and dignity are the two essential pillars upholding a major state institution like the judiciary. Far from being censured and suspended for their ridiculous behaviour, the District Bar Association has asked for Judge Pervez Ali Shah’s transfer because “it can create a law and order situation.” Lawyer Farooq Sulehria has proclaimed that lawyers would boycott Shah’s court because of the “unacceptable” sentencing. Now this is mind boggling stuff. Lawyers are refusing to accept a judicial verdict because it collides with their personal religious beliefs. How then can they profess to be custodians of justice and the epitome of neutrality and objectivity? Why is the Bar Association kowtowing to such obnoxious behaviour? Are they too lily-liver’d to rein in frenzied members, or do they also believe in their “cause?” Based on TV interviews and statements, it has been established time and again that Salman Taseer did not say anything against the Prophet (pbuh), but in fact he said he respected the Prophet like all Muslims. Taseer expressed support for blasphemy convict Asiya Bibi and opposed the implementation of the blasphemy law since the majority of the cases so far have been motivated by enmity. Hence, Mumtaz Qadri’s justification of blasphemy for murdering the late governor in cold blood does not stand in court. How low lawyers can stoop to grind their own axes was visible during the case when Salman Taseer was subjected to a disgraceful character assassination because the case for the defence was so weak. What do a man’s marriages or lifestyle have to do with his murder? Naturally, members of religious parties have been hailing Qadri as their hero at massive rallies, because they are indoctrinated, immune to logic and after all this is their bread and butter. But since when have lawyers joined these militants who have blood in their eyes and froth on their lips? In retrospect, there are bittersweet memories of the Lawyers Movement which galvanised Pakistan in 2009. These very same lawyers and their Chief Justice garnered support from almost all Pakistanis because people applauded the courage of one man to stand up to a system in front of which so many have caved in. Lawyers were garlanded and cheered as they marched for justice through the sweltering heat. When the Chief Justice was restored, there were celebrations galore and an overwhelming camaraderie brought on by “peoples’ power”. How ironic then that today when another brave man has stood up for truth and justice, he has been hounded out of office by his very own colleagues. Justice Pervez Ali Shah saw the frenzy of the religious right every day during the closed door hearing in the high security Adiyala prison as trucks of supporters shouted full throated slogans and embraced Qadri. The judge knew there would be hell to pay if he did not release Qadri. Yet he upheld the dignity of his office by giving the right verdict: guilty as charged. How ironic then that instead of supporting their valiant colleague, lawyers are showering rose petals on Qadri and kicking apart Shah’s courtroom. It beggars the mind that things in Pakistan have come to such a sorry pass. Increasingly, it seems that it is no longer a country for sane men. Even the cleric who led Salman Taseer’s funeral prayers has been forced to flee the country after constant threats to his life. Taseer’s son, Shahbaz, who appeared in court for the prosecution, has been missing for more than a month and there are reports of his release being sought in exchange for freedom for Qadri. Who then can blame the Taseer family for their guarded silence after the guilty verdict? When the death penalty was handed down in the Sialkot lynching case, it seemed like a ray of light on the dark horizon and justice for the bereaved family of Muneeb and Mughees. One was jolted back to grim reality when the main culprit, SHO Rana Ilyas, who was filmed during the lynching, was given bail when he filed an appeal with the Lahore High Court. One may well ask whither justice then for the aggrieved in Pakistan? Another puzzling question is why do we express so much concern about the rights of Muslims in other countries, be it Palestine, Syria, Bahrain, Kashmir or India? How well are we treating our fellow Muslims in Pakistan? All one needs to ostracise, maim or kill another here is to have him or her declared an Ahmadi or a blasphemer or a member of a religious minority.. take your pick.. and self appointed standard bearers of Islam pop up like magic, wielding axes, guns and batons and hurling abuses. This vile madness is consuming us all and making us a stranger to one another. Our diversity should be our strength, not our weakness. To add to the maelstrom of disease, natural disaster, corruption and inertia devouring Pakistan, one can add that justice has also become a commodity to be bartered and many of it’s practitioners are truly a disgrace to the noble profession. To have dispensers of justice applauding murderers is truly the stuff of nightmares. Maheen Usmani is a freelance journalist.

Protips: Explain why you're giving this rating. Your review must discuss the beer's attributes (look, smell, taste, feel) and your overall impression in order to indicate that you have legitimately tried the beer. Nonconstructive reviews may be removed without notice and action may be taken on your account. Help Us Be Awesome. 4.12 /5 rDev +2.5% look: 4.25 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4 | overall: 4. 4 oz taster at The Outpost (Ironfire’s tasting room in Old Town Temecula). Clear golden yellow pour with short lived white head. Aroma of pine resin, slightly floral, a bit of grapefruit. The taste is where the action is - pine, resinous, a bit of grapefruit - less of the floral notes of the aroma - remarkably not excessively boozy ( but not pretending to be a lightweight either) - bitterness actually dominates the sweetness here. Medium full mouthfeel but frankly the 11.2% is well hidden - lingering sticky resinous bitterness. Very enjoyable. dpgoblejr from New Hampshire. 4.9 /5 rDev +21.9% look: 4.75 | smell: 4.75 | taste: 5 | feel: 4.75 | overall: 5. Light golden straw color with an off white head that retreats and some spotty lacing too. Aroma of citrus and pine and something else that is kind of musty. The taste is predominately pine resin but the citrus makes its self known, but barely. Pretty clean, nice bodied triple IPA with just the perfect amount of bitterness on the palate. Overall, I would say that I was pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed this quite a bit! mactrail from Washington. 3.81 /5 rDev -5.2% look: 3.75 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.75. The brewery blurb says this is made with "seven high alpha hops from three continents." It seems to have one intense, but clean hop note-- a fruity melon taste with honeysuckle nose. Clean flavor, and moderate bitterness. Amberish orange in the Delirium Tremens snifter with bubbles streaming. A little resiny at the finish. Overall, a fruit juice bomb that is really quite sippable. From the 22 oz bottle purchased at Baron's Market in San Diego. 5 /5 rDev +24.4% look: 5 | smell: 5 | taste: 5 | feel: 5 | overall: 5. This one packs a delicious punch! A very nice strong IPA, one of the best from Ironfire. You'll be feeling good after this one. All killer no filler! BDeibs from Colorado. 3.96 /5 rDev -1.5% look: 3.75 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 4. Pours a golden yellow and has a nice hop aroma. There is a strong presence of hops in the taste and a good deal of bitterness as well. Nonetheless it is still fairly smooth going down with a. But that lingers for a while in the mouth. GRG1313 from California. 3.76 /5 rDev -6.5% look: 3.5 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.75. Pours a clear yellow gold with a very fast fading white head. Nose is mild lemon and citrus with nice amount of pine. Not bad. Mouthfeel is medium carb and full bodied. Flavor profile is thick cooked honey and big piney hops with cooked sweet fruit.

  • Religious-Verses-And-Poems
    A CLUSTER OF PRECIOUS MEMORIES A bud the Gardener gave us, A cluster of precious memories A pure and lovely child. Sprayed with a million tears He gave it to our keeping Wishing God had spared you If only for a few more years. To cherish undefiled; You left a special memory And just as it was opening And a sorrow too great to hold, To the glory of the day, To us who loved and lost you Down came the Heavenly Father Your memory will never grow old. Thanks for the years we had, And took our bud away. Thanks for the memories we shared. We only prayed that when you left us That you knew how much we cared. 1 2 AFTERGLOW A Heart of Gold I’d like the memory of me A heart of gold stopped beating to be a happy one. I’d like to leave an afterglow Working hands at rest of smiles when life is done. God broke our hearts to prove to us I’d like to leave an echo He only takes the best whispering softly down the ways, Leaves and flowers may wither Of happy times and laughing times The golden sun may set and bright and sunny days. I’d like the tears of those who grieve But the hearts that loved you dearly to dry before too long, Are the ones that won’t forget. And cherish those very special memories to which I belong. 4 3 ALL IS WELL A LIFE – WELL LIVED Death is nothing at all, I have only slipped away into the next room.

  • Leading the Walking Dead: Portrayals of Power and Authority
    LEADING THE WALKING DEAD: PORTRAYALS OF POWER AND AUTHORITY IN THE POST-APOCALYPTIC TELEVISION SHOW by Laura Hudgens A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School at Middle Tennessee State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Mass Communication August 2016 Thesis Committee: Dr. Katherine Foss, Chair Dr. Jane Marcellus Dr. Jason Reineke ii ABSTRACT This multi-method analysis examines how power and authority are portrayed through the characters in The Walking Dead. Five seasons of the show were analyzed to determine the characteristics of those in power. Dialogue is important in understanding how the leaders came to power and how they interact with the people in the group who have no authority. The physical characteristics of the leaders were also examined to better understand who was likely to be in a position of power. In the episodes in the sample, leaders fit into a specific demographic. Most who are portrayed as having authority over the others are Caucasian, middle-aged men, though other characters often show equivalent leadership potential. Women are depicted as incompetent leaders and vulnerable, and traditional gender roles are largely maintained. Findings show that male conformity was most prevalent overall, though instances did decrease over the course of five seasons. Instances of female nonconformity increased over time, while female conformity and male nonconformity remained relatively level throughout. ii iii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES ..............................................................................................................v

Judge, Jury, and Executioner: Why Private Parties Have Standing to Challenge an Executive Order That Prohibits ICTS Transactions with Foreign Adversaries Abstract On May 15, 2019, President Donald Trump, invoking his constitutional executive and statutory emergency powers, signed Executive Order 13,873, which prohibits U.S. persons from conducting information and communications technology and services (ICTS) transactions with foreign adversaries. Though the executive branch has refrained from publicly identifying countries or entities as foreign adversaries under the Executive Order, observers agree that the Executive Order’s main targets are China and telecommunications companies, namely Huawei, that threaten American national security and competitiveness in the race to provide the lion’s share of critical infrastructure to support the world’s growing 5G network.

  • Small Claims Standards
    COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS TRIAL COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH SMALL CLAIMS STANDARDS These Standards are designed for use with Trial Court Rule III, Uniform Small Claims Rules, effective January 1, 2002, in the District Court, Boston Municipal Court, and Housing Court Departments of the Trial Court. Honorable Barbara A. Dortch-Okara Chief Justice for Administration and Management November, 2001 FOREWORD The Administrative Office of the Trial Court issues these Standards to assist judges, clerk-magistrates and other personnel of the District Court, Boston Municipal Court, and Housing Court Departments in implementing recently amended Trial Court Rule III, Uniform Small Claims Rules (effective January 1, 2002). The long delayed amendments to the Uniform Small Claims Rules were necessitated by amendments to G.L.c. 218, §§ 21-25, especially those authorizing clerk-magistrates to hear and decide small claims in the first instance, and by appellate decisions effecting procedural changes in small claims actions. The goal of the Standards is two fold: 1. To expedite, consistent with applicable statutory and decisional law and court rules, the fair and efficient disposition of small claims in all Trial Court departments having jurisdiction of such actions; and 2. To promote confidence among litigants that their small claims will be processed expeditiously and impartially by the courts according to applicable rules and statutes and recognized Standards. The Standards were carefully constructed by the Trial Court Committee on Small Claims Procedures to mesh with the amended Uniform Small Claims Rules and applicable appellate decisions. That Committee brought to its task a wealth of experience and insights gained from a variety of perspectives.

  • How to Know If You're Dead
    How to Know If You're Dead Beating-heart cadavers, live burial, and the scientific search for the soul A patient on the way to surgery travels at twice the speed of a patient on the way to the morgue. Gurneys that ferry the living through hospital corridors move forward in an aura of purpose and push, flanked by caregivers with long strides and set faces, steadying IVs, pumping ambu bags, barreling into double doors. A gurney with a cadaver commands no urgency. It is wheeled by a single person, calmly and with little notice, like a shopping cart. For this reason, I thought I would be able to tell when the dead woman was wheeled past. I have been standing around at the nurses' station on one of the surgery floors of the University of California at San Francisco Medical Center, watching gurneys go by and waiting for Von Peterson, public affairs manager of the California Transplant Donor Network, and a cadaver I will call H. "There's your patient," says the charge nurse. A commotion of turquoise legs passes with unexpected forward-leaning urgency. H is unique in that she is both a dead person and a patient on the way to surgery. She is what's known as a "beating-heart cadaver," alive and well everywhere but her brain. Up until artificial respiration was developed, there was no such entity; without a functioning brain, a body will not breathe on its own. But hook it up to a respirator and its heart will beat, and the rest of its organs will, for a matter of days, continue to thrive.

  • An Archaeology of Walls in the Walking Dead
    Undead Divides: An Archaeology of Walls in The Walking Dead Howard Williams In 2010, the zombie horror genre gained even greater popularity than the huge following it had previously enjoyed when AMC’s The Walking Dead (TWD) first aired. The chapter surveys the archaeology of this fictional post-apocalyptic material world in the show’s seasons 1–9, focusing on its mural practices and environments which draw upon ancient, biblical, medieval and colonial motifs. The study identifies the moralities and socialities of wall-building, dividing not only survivors aspiring to re-found civilization from the wilderness and manifesting the distinctive identities of each mural community, but also distinguishing the living from the undead. The roles of the dead and the undead in mural iterations are also explored. As such, dimensions of past and present wall-building practices are reflected and inverted in this fictional world. As part of a broader ‘archaeology of The Walking Dead’, the chapter identifies the potentials of exploring the show’s physical barriers within the context of the public archaeology of frontiers and borderlands. Andrea: What’s your secret? The Governor: Really big walls. Andrea: That soldier had walls too and we all know how that turned out, so. The Governor: I guess we do. The real secret is what goes on within these walls. It’s about getting back to who we were, who we really are, not just waiting to be saved. You know people here have homes, medical care, kids go to school. Adults have jobs to do. It’s a sense of purpose.
