The book entitled “Innovations in the Ecological Rule of Law” seeks to highlight contemporary issues which aim to emphasize the environmental function of legal protection of nature, to the detriment of traditional environmental law that allows for damage and reduces, controls or monitors both environmental degradation, as well as ecological goods of common use. The present work is composed of provident texts of lectures given by professors, as well as leading researchers, collaborators of said event. The research aims to bring reflections that dialogue within the lines of Ecological Law and Human Rights, always with a transdisciplinary approach. From the exchange of knowledge, a range of complex socio-environmental problems were identified. The multiplicities of these, as well as the tools to circumvent them are discussed in the articles that make up the book, encompassing various themes of Ecological Law and Human Rights. The Lawyers of Environmental Law are proposed new ways of achieving the needs of nature and of the community, such as a dignified life, the preservation of nature, the common good and the quality of life. 5 JOSÉ RUBENS MORATO LEITE, MELISSA ELY MELO, HEIDI MICHALSKI RIBEIRO The work is composed of three thematic axes: 1. Principles of the Ecological Rule of Law, which has seven chapters; 2. Climate Change and the prospects of the Paris Agreement, with four chapters; and 3. Environmental Justice: setbacks and perspectives, with five chapters. The first chapter, written by José Rubens Morato Leite, Carolina Ávila Schauffert and Heidi Michalski Ribeiro, addresses the origins of the environmental crisis and the role of the Ecological Law State in the search for global ecological integrity and sustainable future for all, emphasizing the Goals Sustainable Development (ODS) and the importance of environmental education in the formation of ecological awareness. The second chapter, Ana Maria Marchesan’s “Resilience and Sustainability: Emerging Principles of Environmental Law in the Anthropocene Epoch”, deals with the relationship between economics and ecology, analyzing how the environmental perspective can be incorporated into judicial decisions under the look of strong sustainability and resilience. In turn, the third, by Melissa Ely Melo and Jonathan Elizondo Orozco, “Ecosystems Services Valuation: One Deep Issue” aims to discuss some of the dilemmas involved in valuing ecosystem services. It is focused on the theoretical approach of the subject, through bibliographical and documentary research, both in a national and international perspective. A transdisciplinary view of the issue was sought, making use of the philosophical and juridical view, also enriched by the support of Ecology and Economy. “Global Commons and What Gets Lost in Translation: Associating Nomenclatures with Concepts”, is the fourth chapter of the first thematic axis and has as authors Caroline Vieira Ruschel and Rogério da Silva Portanova. It 6 INNOVATIONS IN THE ECOLOGICAL RULE OF LAW emphasizes the challenges of translating certain concepts into other languages and the losses involved in this process, more specifically, the term Global Commons. The fifth chapter, titled “The Study of Law and Environmental Commoms: A Proposal by the Research Group DAC”, by Clóvis Eduardo Malinverni da Silva, focuses on the principles of the Ecological Law State and the way in which the Right Research Group Environmental Critic - DAC, from the University of Caxias do Sul, deals with this theme through the project “Law of common environmental goods: between public and private”. The sixth chapter authored by Daniela Marques de Carvalho de Oliveira, “The Epistemology of the Complexity of Luis Alberto Warat as a Way to Overcome the Legal Epistemology of Modernity and to Protect the Environment”, addresses subjects related to complexity, rationality, to corruption, as well as the importance of complex epistemology in Luis Alberto Warat’s vision for the construction of the Ecological Law State. The seventh and last chapter of this first part “Corruption, Sustainable Development Goals and Ecological Rule of Law” is written by Bruno Teixeira Peixoto and Natanael Dantas Soares. The article aims at corruption and its relationship with the Sustainable Development Objectives (ODS), in line with the Ecological State of Law orientation, in view of the 17 ODS established by the Global Agenda 2030, especially Objective 16, which highlights the fight against corruption as one of the challenges to achieve sustainability. In opening the second thematic axis, in the eighth chapter, “First Impressions on Forests and Climate Change in Brazil After the Law 12.651 / 2012 and the Paris Agreement” Pedro Curvello Avzaradel reports the main 7 JOSÉ RUBENS MORATO LEITE, MELISSA ELY MELO, HEIDI MICHALSKI RIBEIRO changes in the protection of Brazilian forests from the New Brazilian Forest Code , as well as the Paris Agreement and its implications in the Framework of Climate Change. The ninth chapter, authored by Gabriel Wedy, entitled “Climate Litigation in the Brazilian Superior Courts”, aims to highlight the role of legislation and justice in combating deforestation, as well as other factors relevant to climate change in Brazil. “Human Rights and Environmental Law: The case of the Environmental Refugees” is authored by Arthur Ramos do Nascimento and Heidi Michalski Ribeiro. This tenth study deals with Climate Change, a central issue in the contemporary scenario, which demands rapid responses from the States and the Law for the provocation of several negative repercussions, among which human displacements. The last chapter of the thematic axis on Climate Change is written by Luana Machado Scaloppe and Clóvis Eduardo Malinverni da Silva. The article

It can also give a partner a reference to better understand your desires and what is on and off limits for play. Instructions: On the left hand side is each BDSM/Kinky/Fetish Activity to the right of each activity are four columns. Previous Experience: Here is your chance to list how much experience you have with the particular activity. If you have no experience you can leave the space blank for that activity.

  • Kink Negotiation & Scene Planning Tools
    Kink Negotiation & Scene Planning Tools ROUGH BS Pre-Scene Planning Tool ROUGH BS is a proprietary preliminary BDSM negotiation tool. The acronym stands for Restrained, Owned, Used, Given Away, Humiliated, Beaten, Serve. Its purpose is to outline the general categories of play you and your scene partners most enjoy. This can help determine overall compatibility with prospective play partners. It can also help you pinpoint which foundational elements to build your scene around. This tool is a conversation prompt. To use it, determine how much you enjoy engaging in each category of activities as either a bottom or top (the bottom would be the subject of these actions and the top would be executing them). Use a 1-10 scale with 1 being “not interested” and 10 being “YES!” Let’s say two partners score high on “Given Away.” Go further to ask clarifying questions like “what does that mean to you?” In this example, being given away could mean to another dominant you both know well for an hour of domestic service. Or it could mean to a group of five people for sexual pleasure every Tuesday. Because these categories are broad, ambiguous, and subjective, further negotiation under each is mandatory. The Yes/No/Maybe list below can help you drill down to specific activities that fall under each category for more nuanced negotiation. Kink Yes/No/Maybe List A Yes/No/Maybe list is a kink/sexual inventory checklist designed to aid in self-analysis and/or partner negotiations. You can use it several ways: ● Mark beside each YES (what you want to do), MAYBE (soft limit), or NO (hard limit) and talk through each with your partner.

  • A Dominant's Handbook
    A Dominant's Handbook Toy Slaves Brothel Training TSB 11/26/2011 The Joy of Fantasy No matter how pleasant and fulfilling your daily life is, sometimes you need to escape from your role as responsible adult, dutiful worker or dedicated family member. The more stressful that role is, the further it is from your own deepest impulses, the more you need an escape from the limitations of everyday life. Some people use alcohol, drugs, or gambling to transcend their ordinary lives, but these activities generally prove to be both destructive and unsatisfying. But the escape provided by a rich fantasy life can be constructive and extraordinarily fulfilling. Instead of destroying true intimacy, shared fantasy increases it. Instead of harming the body, sexual release helps it. Instead of stifling the needs of your true self, fantasy allows you to express and realize your deepest needs and in the process, fantasy brings forth a new, stronger reality. …… Mistress Lorelei (from The Mistress Manual, the good girl’s guide to female dominance) Page | 2 Table of Contents What is a Dominant ... 5 Rules for Dominants... 6 Your Service at Toys... 7 D/s Interactions... 8 Madame, Masters, Mistresses, Dommes… 9 Your Training at Toys... 11 Promotion... 12 Training the Girls... 13 Punishment... 15 Check rides… 17 D/s Relationships... 21 Just Who's in Charge Here... 22 The Scene… 23 Is It BDSM or Abuse… 30 Linden Age Policy… 34 Roles… 35 Taking Customers/Your Rate… 38 Dominant Boards… 38 Lady Venom's Dictum... 39 Resources... 41 Page | 3 BDSM Etiquette... 43 A Domme's Primer..

  • Girth & Mirth: Ethnography of a Social Club for Big Gay Men and Their
    Girth & Mirth: Ethnography of a Social Club for Big Gay Men and Their Admirers Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jason Andrew Whitesel, M.A. Sociology Graduate Program The Ohio State University 2009 Dissertation Committee: Professor Townsand Price-Spratlen, Advisor Professor Amy Shuman Professor Steve Lopez Copyright by Jason Andrew Whitesel 2009 Abstract “Girth & Mirth: Ethnography of a Social Club for Big Gay Men and Their Admirers” documents performances at Girth & Mirth group events and examines how participants use allusion and campy-queer behavior to reconfigure and reclaim their body images. Girth & Mirth started as a national social movement organization in the 1970s in response to weight discrimination in the gay community and provides a social network for big gay men and their relatively few supportive others. This work explores how big gay men experience size as a marginalizing status and how they seek dignity and respect in spite of their marginal position. Gay men, as a subaltern group, have their own hierarchy, and this work questions whether the social consequences of failure to be height-weight proportionate should be so high in the gay community. To explore how big gay men manage concepts of shame and pride, I use interviews with and participant observation of members of Girth & Mirth at charity fundraisers, weekend retreats, pride parades, café klatches, restaurants, and potlucks. Sociological research provides a lens to understand the role of social organizations in effecting change and reformulating identities. This study builds on the work of Erving Goffman (1963), who examined how stigmatized individuals manage their identities against medicalized or pathologized social categories.

  • When Someone You Love Is Kinky
    Welcome, and Thanks Can anybody really ever understand someone else’s experience, someone else’s life? We all know that an upper-middle-class female suburbanite might have trouble understanding what goes on in the heart and mind of a male inner-city denizen. But can that suburbanite really even understand the life of her next-door neighbor? If you’ve ever had the experience of attending a movie with a friend, then afterwards finding out that each of you had a completely different understanding of what that movie was trying to say, you have some idea of the challenge of bridging the huge gulf in perception between one person and the next. Each of us brings a lifetime of experience, learning and belief to the task of forming our own perceptions. When we try to understand someone else’s reality, we cannot help but be influenced by our background. Often, it’s easy: you may not understand why your friend adores caviar when you think it tastes like, well, fish eggs – but you compare his love for this odd food to your love for chocolate truffles, and that gives you an idea of why he’d pay absurd amounts of money to fill his mouth with lumpy black goo. Sometimes, however, it’s not that easy. If you learn that someone you care about enjoys something that you’ve been taught is weird or funny, or even wrong or sick, you may see that person in a whole new way. The gulf between you may seem uncrossable. You may even wonder if you ever knew that person in the first place.

  • Bdsm Checklist
    SUB BDSM CHECKLIST The checklist below is a way for your scene partner to get to know you better. Not all items below are necessarily things that your scene partner gets into, or would be a requirement on your part. For each item, you need to provide two answers: 1. For experience, write YES or NO next to each item to indicate if you have ever DONE that activity. 2. For willingness, indicate for each item how you feel about DOING that activity by rating it on a scale of NO or 0 to 5. • "?" means you don't understand what the item is attempting to describe. • NO means you will NOT do that item under any circumstances (a hard limit). • 0 (zero) indicates you have utterly no desire to do that activity and don't like doing it (in fact, may loath it) and would ordinarily object to doing it, but you would permit your scene partner to do it if it He really wanted it (sometimes called a "soft limit"). • 1 means you don't want to do or like to do this activity, but wouldn't object if it was asked of you. • 2 means you are willing to do this activity, but it has no special appeal for you. • 3 means you usually like doing this activity, at least on an irregular/ occasional basis. • 4 means you like doing this activity, and would like to experience it on a regular basis. • 5 means the activity is a wild turn-on for you, and you would like it as often as possible.

  • BDSM (Bondage, Dominazione, Sadismo, Masochismo)
    DIZIONARIO DELL’EROTISMO INTRODUZIONE Le parole riportate in questo dizionario sono le più varie e coinvolgono il mondo del sesso nella sua interezza. Vi sono molti termini che coinvolgono in particolare il mondo del BDSM (Bondage, Dominazione, Sadismo, Masochismo). Esse sono sempre contrassegnate da tale sigla, in maniera tale da ben distinguerle dalle altre, a carattere più generale. A AB – Abbreviazione di “Adult Baby” (vedi il relativo significato). Abrasione – Categoria di giochi basata sullo sfregamento della pelle con oggetti ruvidi, che può andare dal piacevole al doloroso (BDSM). Adorazione – Baciare o leccare il corpo del Dominante (Dom) o il suo abbigliamento per stimolarlo eroticamente o come forma di umiliazione (BDSM). Adult Baby – “Bebè adulto”. Chi pratica infantilismo. Adulterio – Relazione amorosa con una persona diversa dal coniuge. Afrodisiaco – Sostanza a cui viene attribuito il potere di migliorare le prestazioni sessuali e accrescere il piacere. Da un punto di vista strettamente scientifico, non esiste alcuna prova certa che i cosiddetti “afrodisiaci” siano in grado di stimolare direttamente l'eccitazione e il desiderio sessuale. E' vero, invece, che esiste un effetto placebo , per cui se una persona crede fermamente agli effetti positivi di una data sostanza sulle proprie capacità amatorie, è probabile che i fatti gli diano ragione. C'è anche da tener presente che alcuni cibi possono provocare alterazioni organiche capaci di migliorare la circolazione sanguigna e quindi di facilitare l'erezione in un uomo e la vasodilatazione della zona vaginale in una donna. Altre sostanze, pur non essendo afrodisiache in sé, lo diventano indirettamente creando euforia o abbassando i livelli di timidezza e di autocontrollo.
