AUTHOR`S NOTE: Dedicated to the 300th birthday of Frederick the Great, this book presents one of the most elusive and controversial rulers of the 18th century, subjected to myriad glories and legends, and whose personality requires a few more centuries to duke it out what kind of combat or person he was. Since German unification under the Great Elector, Frederick II has been unfairly seen as the root of militarist Germany that dominated Europe during the First and Second World Wars. Most biographies focus heavily on the rehabilitation of his reputation that was already overshadowed by Napoleon Bonaparte. But the consistency of his character makes it plain that Frederick II was a military genius, who could lead troops from the front in the thick of the battles, losing horses under him, loosing Generals, and still fearlessly moving forward with bullet wholes through his collar. Frederick II was a self-styled philosopher, a classed "monarch-enluminator," whose domestic reforms and expansions made Prussia an iron kingdom, doubling its holdings. He was Voltaire`s pen-pal. He admired Voltaire, argued with him, and brain-stormed him. This book also describes the King's passion of poetry, his correspondence with Voltaire, treatment of military and diplomatic causes, warfare, state-society nexus, and ardent sense for art and music. He had composed 121 flute sonatas, 4 concertos, areas, a symphony, and an overture. He wrote the treatise "Anti-Machiavel." He sketched and designed his resort Sanssouci in Potsdam, the grand palace and parks, the opulent equivalents to the Château de Versailles, and the European prototype of today`s Epcot. Seen as a despot and nobleman at the same time, Frederick was a fascinating character for his rivals. In all complexities of that extraordinary spirit, one thing at least is certain; that spirit, whether it was admirable to some, or odious to others, was moved by a terrific force.

Current effort invites you to a world of tranquil indulgence, a true joie de vivre with a variety of tea and tisanes: gongfu, tea-roses, clove, chamomile, lavender, safflower, alfalfa, verveine, jasmine, thyme, mint, cinnamon, annatto, lovage, or berries. For most of us, a cup of tea is not only a rustic pleasure. There is a dizzying number of tastes from which to choose. And every tea, whether a delicate Japanese green, Welsh te-bach, or Indian Darjeeling black, tells a 'story in a cup' about the land that nurtured it, and the tea-making skills that transformed it. Extending from and beyond the caffeine chart, tea-cultures, or perfect tea-food pairs, this book tells and illustrates the smart and healthy tea-ware used since the Tang Dynasty, or Georgian, Victorian, Romanov era to our days. It also presents updated scientific knowledge about the healing and hazardous effects of tea or tisanes. While there is no shortage of tea-related tomes, this definitive guide will appeal to die-hard tea enthusiasts keen to learn history, culture, and tips of enjoyment of this onerous and ubiquitous beverage. Welcome to my tea-party!

Nestling in the south of Germany and surrounded by the Alpine ring, Bavaria is a blessed land of picture-book scenery. The sky over Bavaria so often resembles the Bavarian flag - a symphony of blue and white, bathing the state in the sunshine even when the clouds cover the rest of the country. This is due to the Foehn, a downwind from the Alps that blows away even the caravan of the thickest clouds. Enchanting medieval towns with postcard houses, the world's favorite Neuschwanstein Castle that upstages Nature itself, sophisticated art and craft of making signature violins, endearing Bavarian corsets (Dirndl and Niederhausen), river surfing, opera festivals, Maibock and Schuhplattler, world's number one quality beer, hearty snacks in beer gardens, beautiful customs passed down through centuries, they all resonate resoundingly with Bavarian joie de vivre. While planning to visit Bavaria be prepared, for after seeing this true land of fairy tales, you will never wish to leave it.// Visit other travel diaries from this author: (1) Amalfi Coast, Italy; (2) Amazing Andorra; (3) Amazing Bavaria; (4) Amazing Berlin; (5) Amazing Bhutan; (6) Amazing Cave-Houses; (7) Amazing Domes; (8) Amazing Dublin; (9) Amazing Falkland Islands; (10) Amazing Finland; (11) Amazing Florence; (12) Amazing French Riviera; (13) Amazing Greenland; (14) Amazing Gozo, Malta; (15) Amazing Iceland; (16) Amazing Innsbruck; (17) Amazing Jurmala, Latvia; (18) Amazing Monaco; (19) Amazing Naples; (20) Amazing Palau; (21) Amazing Paris; (22) Amazing Railways; (23) Amazing Salzburg; (24) Amazing Scotland; (25) Amazing Tree Houses; (26) Amazing Vatican; (27) Amazing Vienna; (28) Amazing Windows; (29) Amazing Wyoming; (30) Amazing Zürich; (31) Annecy, France; (32) Austin, Texas; (33) Banff, Alberta; (34) Bruges & Ghent, Belgium; (35) Cabo San Lucas; (36) Celle, Germany; (37) Christmas Island; (38) Cocos Keeling Islands; (39) Colmar, France; (40) Cork & Kenmare, Ireland; (41) Easter Island, Chile; (42) Exquisite Bath, England; (43) Fifty Odd Loci in the United States; (44) Fiji; (45) Granada, Spain; (46) Interlaken and Saint Moritz, Switzerland; (47) Interlaken, Unterseen, St Moritz: Switzerland; (48) Island Saint Helena, British Overseas; (49) Isle of Man; (50) Lafayette, Louisiana; (51) Las Pozas, Xilitla, Mexico; (52) Lecco, Italy; (53) Lille, France; (54) Madeira, Portugal; (55) Montserrat, British West Indies; (56) Mulhouse, France; (57) Myrtle Beach, SC; (58) Nara, Japan; (59) Novo Mesto, Slovenia; (60) Obernai, France; (61) Odd & Outre Places of Washington, DC; (62) Palma de Mallorca, Spain; (63) Poznan, Poland; (64) Saint Lucia; (65) San Marino; (66) Santa Fe, NM; (67) Sardinia, Italy; (68) Sélestat, France; (69) Seville, Spain; (70) Sint Maarten: Dutch & French Overseas; (71) Sintra, Portugal; (72) Socotra Island, Yemen; (73) South Georgia & Sandwich Islands, Britain; (74) St John's: Newfoundland-Labrador, Canada; (75) Strasbourg, France; (76) Svalbard, Norway; (77) The Faroe Islands; (78) The Rabbit Island; (79) The Trulli of Alberobello, Italy; (80) Tristan da Cunha; (81) Via Aurelia; (82) Via Belgica; (83) Via Canalis; (84) Via Claudia Augusta, (85) Via de la Plata, (86) Via Domitia; (87) Via Fossa; (88) Via Hadriana; (89) Via Kolossus; (90) Via Maris; (91) Via Militaris, (92) Via Pontica, (93) Via Schlavonia, and (94) Wissembourg, France.

A fictionalization of Guerre's story, an expository depiction of the battle of Saint-Quentin and the reconquest of the British Calais, the two Dianas refer to women near and dear to Henry the Second: the king's mistress Diane de Portier, and the illegitimate daughter Diana de Castro. The first volume shapes the romance between Diana de Castro and the Count Gabriel Montgommery - with trials and tribulations. The second volume focuses on the Catholic/Protestant conflicts under the reigns of Francis II (married to Mary of Scots) and Charles IX. This effort converts Dumas Pere's novel (The Two Dianas) into 17 epics and illustrations of the terrifying meetings between the Viscount d'Exemès (Montgommery) and Henry II, the identity trial between Arnold du Thill and Martin Guerre, and introduces notable historical figures, such as Catherine de Medicis, Mary Stuart, Cardinal de Lorraine, and of course, Ambroise Paré-the famous French surgeon with his audacious techniques and inventions. Transforming the 424-page prose into a 218-page stanza, the plot remains unaltered.

A premier Nose, a French perfumery titan, and a handsome bachelor in his forty years, Mantel Lamarck is dreadfully afraid of women, fortune-hunters. He's smart, successful, and inevitably does not need business shares or compromises. Able to identify 800 different perfumes from a single squirt, Mantel does not smell fragrances with his nose: he does it with his brain. After serving in the perfumery industry for twenty years and having saved millions to spare, Mantel Lamarck finally acquires a meaning in his life and tranquility following his biggest compromise -- a merger of the traditional art of modeling fragrances with the quartz-resonator sensor array (QRSA) of an 'artificial nose.' In order to find out who is the person behind the merger, and who helped Mantel find a meaning in his vigilant life, take a tour of this suspense novel. By depicting the French and Italian wildflowers/fragrances and by touching the opulent lifestyle of the riches with its epic and ambitious plot, this novel offers you an elating read.

This novel is a work of fiction. Names, characters, entities, places, events and incidents either are used fictitiously. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead is entirely coincidental. However, citations of intestacy statutes relate to the existing laws. This novel evolves set of social norms and discords around the posthumus reproduction with cryoprezerved embryo, that embrace, or at least tolerate, an amazing array of family forms. Sewn of debates, trials, and tribunals it ends with an accident that builds a starry fortune.

Law is neither panacea nor justice. An element of calculation, it answers the "how" question, whereas justice answers the "why" question. Law is anything but simple. It is a piecemeal doctrinal construction, each part more readily explained by the circumstances of its addition than by its relation to a coherent whole. An up to date analysis of the court-visited 36 cases, this monograph depicts the challenges, and outcomes of surgical negligence claims in the States, by covering a range of malpractice determinants: plaintiff's reasonableness, surgeon's state of mind, res ipsa loquitur, strict liability, qualifications of the witness-expert, plain-error doctrine, but-for rule and proximate causation, patent law and infringement, defamation, conspiracy, fraud, taxation of the awards, and the dicta.

Testimony on battered woman syndrome (BWS), as a widely used self-defense strategy, has been accepted in all state courts of America. However, courts often hold that expert testimony on the BWS is inadmissible in presented evidence where (1) it is irrelevant and immaterial to the issue of whether the defendant acted in self-defence at the time of the battery; (2) the subject of the expert testimony isn't within the understanding of the jury; (3) the BWS is not sufficiently developed as an accepted scientific knowledge to warrant testimony under the guise of expertise; and (4) its prejudicial impact outweighs its probative value. For the first time in the legal scholarship, an attempt was made to use the Grounded Theory Model to analyze narratives and facts of twelve court holdings on BWS, to reach a facile consistency in defendants' sworn-in motivations on reasonableness and imminence of danger that made them kill their spouses in self-defense, also to find correlations between the expert testimonies of BWS, counts of charges, and the verdicts or dispositions rendered.Through inductive coding of the case narratives and expert testimonies, we then applied the Mantel-Haenszel method to produce pooled odds ratio of the codes. Kruskal-Wallis statistic was used for the ranked ordinal data; Poisson regression was used for prediction analysis as to the influence of narratives and expert testimonies (continuous variables) on the adjudications (dichotomous variable); Pearson linear correlations were used to find associations between the numerical variables - coded narratives and length of the sentence in prison.Findings suggest that expert testimony of BWS is admitted in 58.3 % of the holdings. In 14.3 % of hearings, the conviction is shifted from murder to manslaughter. The average duration of the battered women's sentence is 12.4 years. The charges are distributed for voluntary manslaughter (25%), reckless manslaughter (8.3%), possession of the firearms (8.3%), murder of the first or second degrees (16.7%), attempted murder of the second and third degrees (16.7%), assault of the second and third degrees (33.3%), kidnapping (8.3%), and breach of peace (8.3%). Expert testimony of BWS is influential when the defendant proves that she reasonably believed that she would be killed at the time of the incidence (relative risk (RR) 1.75), history of illicit drug or alcohol abuse by the diseased (RR 2.0), the aggressors' (diseased) former verbal assaults to kill the defendant (RR 2.0), and the aggressor's criminal history (RR 1.4). These testaments are in substantial component associations with the judgments in favor of the defendant (r-square 0.89-0.91, p

A defect or largess, a sensory fusion or transcendental sensing, synesthesia is known for over 200 years and is defined as a cross-modal sensory linkage. Despite of the wealth of literature on synesthesia, this book is one in a kind, as it pioneers in exploring this phenomenon in the courts of law. Based on 134 updated scientific sources, the current effort stratifies synesthesia into the eight clinical groups and reviews the legal and legislative forum around this phenomenon. In an effort to understand the impact of synesthesia on establishing evidence, or defendants' motivations behind the actions plausibly obscured with collided sensations (especially in traffic accidents), the case law is studied. A discussion about reasons, to which we could imply the absence of synesthesia-defense in criminal justice or torts, is provided.

EPIDEMIOLOGY IS ABOUT MASTERING THE CONCEPT OF CONFOUNDING. Applying multiple queue, this 404-page textbook describes and tests a variety of approaches that facilitate the predictive and construct vigor of comorbidity studies perteining various designs: inverse variance methods, hierarchical models, Markov chain Monte Carlo iterates, stochastic compartmental simulations, or 3D reasoning. The methodology chapter is followed by the author's 15 meta-studies.The former edition (1st) of this book is available with a lower price (under ISBN: 978-1493553013) and includes 12 meta-studies.

In caring for a pregnant women, physicians consider the health of two biologically linked, yet individually viable patients. Viewed as an organic whole, the combined maternal-fetal benefit of proposed interventions is weighed against the combined burdens. The complexity of maternal-fetal conflicts (MFC) places the medical profession in a position where the provider's determination in doing what is believed to be the best is seen as a denial of women's autonomy or pro-fetus jurisprudence. In the common-law, the concept of MFC often becomes an indirect evidence or inter alia, an ever-resolving puzzle comprised of elements of crime or tort. The account set in this book is not to resonate, but to simplify our concerns or duties in resolving MFC. Stemmed of 650 references and packed in 35 chapters, this 480-page compilation briefs and analyzes 120 cases held in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, as well as MFC scenarios--stratifying them into the clusters to present an obstetrical problem. Each chapter starts with a concise review of the medical-legal repository, followed by the case briefs inclusive for the I.R.A.C. (issue, rule, analysis, conclusion), precedents, dicta, concurring/dissent, dispositions or verdicts, remedies, reliefs, and reasoning pursuant to the Constitutional or statute enactments in British Commonwealth, the United States and District of Columbia, Canadian provinces and territories. All published cases are located via LexisNexis(TM), BlueBook and WestLaw, and are free for the public visit under the U.S. Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act (HIPAA), the Brady Rule, the Patient Safety & Quality Improvement Act of 2005 (PSQIA), 17 U.S.C. §§ 512, Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA); Canadian Personal Information Protection & Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), Confidentiality Guidance 2009 of the General Medical Council of British Commonwealth, and other codes, acts or dicta. Bound for both medical and legal practitioners, this book may lessen the fees on the legal counsel, prof-liability insurances, and forensic testimony. This is the black-and-white edition of the book.

There is no such thing as "free competition" in the health market. A firm is not allowed to renege on agreements with customers of the rival's site, or compete through conspiracy or tort-interference. The government is relied upon to enforce property rights or contractual arrangements, and the common law rules the limited monopolies such as investment privileges, provision of services, or the patent seats. The traditional emphasis of intellectually vibrant health economy scholarship is built around the questions, what are the policy mechanisms, and how do they operate? The current effort has a quite different orientation. Rather than elucidate the institutional aspects of regulatory policies, we target the economic issues at the stake. What particular health market failures provide a rationale for government intervention? How can economic theory illuminate the character of health market operation, the role for government action and its appropriate form? From the game theories (Cournot and Stackelberg models), description of the stages in healthcare policymaking and regulations, to the pros and cons analysis of the vertical mergers (scale economy) and horizontal consolidations (score economy) of the medical oligopolistic firms, this book has it all. It also presents the author's original studies with empirical reasoning of the highly functional mergers.

Patho-histology and electronic microscopy of 85 tissue cuts from benign and malignant tumors are provided, giving to this reference a status of an atlas.

EPIDEMIOLOGY IS ABOUT MASTERING THE CONCEPT OF CONFOUNDING. Applying multiple queue, this 360-page effort mathematically describes a variety of approaches and designs that escalate the vigor of non-randomized comorbidity research in relatively small samples: marginal and hierarchical models, Markov chain Monte Carlo iterates, stochastic compartmental simulations, and elliptical regression. The theory chapter is followed by presentation of the author's twelve meta-studies.

In reproductive health (RH), commonlaw is instructive with respect to which arguments have not been advanced. RH law is a broader concept than the abortion rights, contraceptive access, procreative liberty, freedom of sexual expression, or patenting an invention. Featuring 62 multiple-choice questions at varying levels of difficulty, as well as 12 essay questions to give you practice issue-spotting and analyzing the law, this book covers various conflicts and tests in RH: constitutional law (freedom of expression, abortion rights, fetal viability, gender equality, advance directives, standing, constitutionality of several statutes), criminal law (indictment or arrest of a pregnant woman, maternal-fetal conflicts, fetal custody), contracts (arrangements under the Stark law, business associations, surrogacy contract), and intellectual property (patenting a matter of natural origin, trademarks and unfair competition, infringement, dilution, cybersquatting, and tarnishment disputes). The Law of Torts and the Law of the Patient Care (in the context of RH) are left for the upcoming serial. However, the current effort also covers malpractice suits.

A trace element (TE) is a chemical element presented below 0.1 wt. % and required in minute quantities to maintain proper physical functioning. TE analysis in clinical samples (plasma, urine, cerebro-spinal fluid, full-term placenta, hair, nails, buccal mucosa, semen, biopsy specimens) has received increasing attention. Based on 62 sources, current effort presents comparative knowledge about the attempts to accurately trace TE in clinical samples through Vis/NIR, PIXE, TXRF, GFAAS, ICP-MS. It informs the need for further research adjustments to reveal the reciprocal states of certain TE (Cu/Zn, Ca/Mg, Fe/ Pb) in correlation with their real-time counts in both maternal and neonatal umbilical cord plasma, and in relation to augmented oxidative stress. This would help achieve consistency in interpreting obstetrical complications (preeclampsia, prematurity, or gestational diabetes). Generated hypotheses should target plausible mechanisms behind TE alterations and their stage-sensitive measures in gynecological cancer. New prospects are discussed in management and prognosis of endometriosis and the premature ovarian failure (POF).

This book raises questions about the legacy of eugenics in contemporary state of reproductive health law - linking the past to recent developments in population control. It presents a comprehensive etiological classification of mental illnesses stratified for the genotype (autosomal-dominant, autosomal-recessive, x-linked and y-linked transmissions; triplet repeat disorders, exon and intron mutations), behavioral phenotype, post-traumatic reactions, spatial orientations, histone disorders, and acquired comorbidity. Based on the advanced directives, seminal precedents, statutory codes and constitutional articles on "personhood" and reproductive choices, it augments a platform for further systematic analysis of holdings on procreative liberty. As such, the nature, corresponding laws, dispositions, certiori, or obiter dicta of the holdings at the Appellate, Supreme or Circuit Courts are randomly identified through WestLaw or LexisNexis(TM) using multiple keywords or Shepard's symbols, and are combined to produce pooled odds ratio according to the Mantel-Haenszel method. A variety of demographic, societal, clinical, and behavioral determinants (age, gender, ethnicity, income, the degree of mental retardation, criminal history, existing property disputes) are modeled as process variables to explain the cause-outcome relationships. Dispositions are used as units of calculations and as linear functions exposed to the claims. Of the total 52 adjudications reviewed, 40 (76.9%) concern to the mentally incompetent individuals (minors or sui juris adults) and 12 (23.1%) healthy inmates of the states prisons, employees of hazardous industries, and ethnic minorities. Of the 40 individuals defined as mentally incompetent, 87.5% suffer various degrees of congenital cognitive deficits, and 12.5% have acquired mental illness after the brain damage either in a car accident or intrapartum - during the traumatic birth. The mean age is 20.78 years in females, and 30.25 years in males. A substantial portion of the holding (46.3%) concerns to the minors at the mean age of 12.9 years (matters of Relf v. Weinberger, M.K.R, AL v. GRH, DD, S.C.E, Nilsson, Marcia R., Ruby v. Massey, Hayes, Cook v. State, Penny N., Hudson v. Hudson, Avery v. County of Burke, Wentzel v. Montgomery General Hospital, and AW). California is the leading state for the number of adjudications on procreative liberty matters, followed by Alabama, Indiana, North Carolina, and New York. Parens patriae (state, parental) petitions for the tubal ligation or hysterectomy are denied in 33 cases (68.8%) pursuant to the Due Process clause of the 14th Amendment (24.2%), statutory codes or articles (63.6%), and preceding case law (87.8%). Petitions for sterilizing females are granted in 15 cases (31.2%) under the statutory penal codes and case laws, and concern to the persons with congenital mental retardation (average I.Q. 62.5, range 50-72). Only 13.3% of these petitions are submitted by the state authorities. All vasectomy petitions are denied and reasoned under the 5th and 14th Amendments, state-constitutional jurisprudence, state penal codes, and precedents. The case law is instructive with respect to which arguments had not been advanced. Poisson regression reveals substantial correlations between the female gender, the degree of the mental impairment, and the court orders to approve petitions for permanent sterilization (r2 = 0.724, and r2 = 802, correspondingly). No significant associations are found between the age of the subjects and the court orders (r2 = 0. 356). A century-cut analysis indicates the 1973-1983 as the hottest decade for the legal disputes on procreation in the United States. The contributing events and policies are discussed.

Having a deontological thrust in common, most torts scholars can be divided into three groups: (1) those who believe the purpose of the tort law is to reduce the combined costs of precautions, accidents, and litigation; (2) those who believe the purpose of moral enterprise is to achieve some form of corrective justice between plaintiff and defendant; and (3) those who mix these two approaches. Written by a medical doctor with a law degree, this book has two sections. The first presents updated knowledge of parathyroids, covering the calcium-phosphorus homeostasis, clinical manifestation and differential diagnostics of the hereditary and acquired diseases, imaging techniques and their specificity, surgical methods and post-surgical care, and review questions. The second section presents legal tools that regulate the negligent surgical and non-surgical treatment of parathyroids, followed by analysis of nine parathyroid cases held in the U.S. Supreme and Appellate Courts. Ending with a summary of findings, it also contains review questions and answers.

Unconscious null-para arrives in emergency room with the uterine rupture in progress. A cesarean section is performed followed by hysterectomy. Understandably, the surgery causes a permanent impairment. Result? No battery. Why? The hospital and physicians can prove an affirmative defense of consent. In a prima facie case, for a patient incapable of giving or withholding consent, the consent is implied by law. So too, there was no intent to harm the patient. What about negligence? There is a room for the negligence claim in this case, because the hospital and physicians had the duty to perform a procedure with careful considerations of per quod determinants, burden/benefit ratio, including the wishes of the patient to remain fecund or fertile. To establish a negligence and to build a case, the informed consent doctrine is irrelevant, for this case addresses all six elements of medical negligence: duty, applicable standard of care, breach, actual cause, proximate case, and damage. The law of surgical negligence is an ever-evolving overhaul of acts, codes, stare, decisis, or doctrines. Any definition in surgical malpractice that includes the notion of reasonableness raises alarm bells. The action for surgical negligence may extend from misdiagnoses, wrong site surgery, misrepresentation, to injurious falsehood, investment privilege, joint ownership, patent infringement, culpability, or defamation. Packed in 27 chapters and 29 illustrations of surgical scenes, the current effort briefs 50 published cases of surgical negligence, from I.R.A.C. (issue, rule, analysis, conclusion), precedents, legal limits, to dispositions, verdicts, remedies, and reasoning pursuant to the Constitutional or statute enactments in the United States and District of Columbia. The presented cases are sourced at LexisNexis, (TM) BlueBook, and Westlaw. All cases are published, and free for the public visit under the U.S. Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act (HIPAA), the Brady Rule, the Patient Safety & Quality Improvement Act 2005 (PSQIA), 14th Amendment Due Process Clause, 17 U.S.C. §§ 512, Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA); among other instruments. Each case analysis ends with keywords.

Wealth and aristocracy are two separate things. We often distinguish aristocrats not by their looks, outfit, walk, talk, titles or manners, but rather the connoisseur skills for "passing the test", i.e. accurately scoring at least the following eleven things: cameo, diamond, emerald, ruby, aquamarine, sapphire, amber, table silverware, cobalt, bohemia crystal, and caviar. This compact book provides with a fast-forward guide to understanding, praising, storing, serving and enjoying this delicacy - the queen of feasts
