You know I never saw an officer, an EMT, a fireman or an ER crew ask anyone what their politics were, and then refuse to care for them because of their answer. The color of skin pigment, the last name, the amount of money in a bank account, none of that mattered. All that mattered was someone needed help, and they had the skills as well as the burning desire to do so. Yes, they are only human and internally flawed and prejudiced as any other. But their true nature, their crowning glory in mortal life, is their ability to rise above those flaws and prejudices when called upon. In a world of hungry, destructive wolves, they stand as the sheepdog who serves and protects the flock.

Before James Foulhouze was a Freemason and head of the Scottish Rite in Louisiana, he was a Roman Catholic priest and then attorney. Also before he was a Mason he wrote this intriguing book on capital punishment. While this book has nothing at all to do with Freemasonry, it is a fascinating look into the beliefs and mind-set of this historical figure and arch-nemesis of Albert Pike. This is a photographic reproduction of the 1842 edition of this work.

“A shocking tale of wrongful conviction . . . that brings general conditions into cruelly sharp focus.” —Kirkus ReviewsJustice Failed is the story of Alton Logan, an African American man who served twenty–six years in prison for a murder he did not commit. In 1983, Logan was falsely convicted of fatally shooting an off–duty Cook County corrections officer, Lloyd M. Wickliffe, at a Chicago–area McDonald’s, and sentenced to life in prison. While serving time for unrelated charges, Andrew Wilson—the true murderer—admitted his guilt to his own lawyers, Dale Coventry and Jamie Kunz. However, bound by the legal code of ethics known as the absolutism of client–attorney privilege, Coventry and Kunz could not take action. Instead, they signed an affidavit proclaiming Logan’s innocence and locked the document in a hidden strong box. It wasn’t until after Wilson’s death in 2007 that his lawyers were able to come forward with the evidence that would eventually set Alton Logan free after twenty–six years in prison.Written in collaboration with veteran journalist Berl Falbaum, Justice Failed explores the sharp divide that exists between commonsense morality—an innocent man should be free—and the rigid ethics of the law that superseded that morality. Throughout the book, in–depth interviews and legal analyses give way to Alton Logan himself as he tells his own story, from his childhood in Chicago to the devastating impact that the loss of a quarter century has had on his life—he entered prison at twenty–eight years of age, and was released at fifty–five.

A good simple read for the 'judge' in every person. Judicial Beatitudes are not just good attitudes for judges but for all of us. Judicial Beatitudes was written to help me be a better judge but it presents on a much broader stage: How to live life in relation to others just as we want them to live in relation to us. Judicial Beatitudes is a well defined word picture of the type judge I aspired to be. Moreover, Judicial Beatitudes is a description of how we should all approach our work in whatever field of work we find ourselves. Seeing our work, on the bench or any other field of endeavor, as an opportunity to serve is foundational to getting it right in the judicial branch of government and whatever life path you are on. The "beatitudes" presented here are good Judicial Beatitudes but also foundational principles for all people in all fields of employment and life in general. Being on time, showing respect to all people, being kind, being fair and courteous and all of the other principles urged here ought to be prayers for how we would want to live each day of our lives. Simply put, Judicial Beatitudes reflect the Golden Rule, "do unto others as you would have them do unto you." because every principle contained here is simply how we want to be treated by our judge, our spouse, our parents, our children, our doctor, our teacher, our plumber and our friends. These beatitudes are good for all of us in every area of our lives.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER"We need a new idea of how to govern. The current system is broken. Law is supposed to be a framework for humans to make choices, not the replacement for free choice." So notes Philip K. Howard in the new Afterword to his explosive manifesto The Death of Common Sense. Here Howard offers nothing less than a fresh, lucid, practical operating system for modern democracy. America is drowning-in law, lawsuits, and nearly endless red tape. Before acting or making a decision, we often abandon our best instincts. We pause, we worry, we equivocate, and then we divert our energy into trying to protect ourselves. Filled with one too many examples of bureaucratic overreach, The Death of Common Sense demonstrates how we-and our country-can at last get back on track.

The process of LAWFULLY operating a Hospitality business in India: This Book consists of almost all the Laws, rules and regulations which are mandatory to operate any hospitality business like Hotels, Bars, Restaurants, etc in India. When I say 'almost' I mean that with the ever changing and updating rules and regulations, you can't be 100% sure if you have done everything right. The rates of the long list of Licenses needed for hospitality business in India are reasonable and nominal. But the things which I cannot mention in an academic book is that, to obtain those Licenses you might not pay only the License fee as mentioned in the govt charts but much more than that. Thus the cost of hospitality business compressed under regulations and expenditure is not all that rosy as it seems to the customer.However, this book will give you all that are needed to keep yourself away from problems which may engulf you if caught unaware by the long arms of the Law and the gleeful agencies responsible for implementing those Laws. I would say "it's better safe than sorry". Follow all the rules and try not to be tempted to take any shortcuts. After reading this book you will have better understanding of the Hospitality Unit operations and will give you an opportunity to think one more time before taking a plunge in the industry as an entrepreneur. Finally, and more importantly for me, after reading this book you will have more respect for the people associated with Hospitality Industry
