The Data Subject First? Decoding the GDPR at StrataDataAurélie Pols
Aurélie Pols draws a broad philosophical picture of the data ecosystem and then hones in on the right to data portability.
Strata keynote London may 2017, https://www.oreilly.com/ideas/the-data-subject-first
As the chair of the State and Local Documents Task Force, I decided to try a different approach to our meeting format at the 2009 Annual Meeting. Part was information sharing but the majority was spent discussing and working on exercises related to state and local data.
This is a sample of the slides from one of the classes in Tech in Law Practice for the Digital Lawyering Program at the University of Dayton School of Law. I teach these classes online for the students and we also engage in different assignments through a virtual law firm simulation. The students have access to a number of cloud-based practice management systems to get hands-on experience. I'm using the frameworks in Marc Lauritsen's book, Lawyer's Guide to Working Smarter with Knowledge Tools and Richard Susskind's End of Lawyers? as well as materials from my own books and other podcasts and videos from experts.

* Balance

Preface
Our goal is to provide students with a textbook that is up to date and comprehensive in its coverage of
legal and regulatory issues—and organized to permit instructors to tailor the materials to their particular
approach. This book engages students by relating law to everyday events with which they are already
familiar (or with which they are familiarizing themselves in other business courses) and by its clear,
concise, and readable style. (An earlier business law text by authors Lieberman and Siedel was hailed “the
best written text in a very crowded field.”)
This textbook provides context and essential concepts across the entire range of legal issues with which
managers and business executives must grapple. The text provides the vocabulary and legal acumen
necessary for businesspeople to talk in an educated way to their customers, employees, suppliers,
government officials—and to their own lawyers.
Traditional publishers often create confusion among customers in the text selection process by offering a
huge array of publications. Once a text is selected, customers might still have to customize the text to meet
their needs. For example, publishers usually offer books that include either case summaries or excerpted
cases, but some instructors prefer to combine case summaries with a few excerpted cases so that students
can experience reading original material. Likewise, the manner in which most conventional texts
incorporate video is cumbersome because the videos are contained in a separate library, which makes
access more complicating for instructors and students.
This model eliminates the need for “families” of books (such as the ten Miller texts mentioned below) and
greatly simplifies text selection. Instructors have only to select between our Business Law and Legal
Environment volumes of the text and then click on the features they want (as opposed to trying to
compare the large number of texts and packages offered by other publishers). In addition to the features
inherent in any publication, this book offers these unique features:
• Cases are available in excerpted and summarized format, thus enabling instructors to easily “mix and
match” excerpted cases with case summaries.
• Links to forms and uniform laws are embedded in the text. For example, the chapters on contract law
incorporate discussion of various sections of the Uniform Commercial Code, which is available
at http://www.law.
Florida Tech was appointed as a depository in 1963 and has received documents almost daily since then, housing over 200,000 on the third floor of the library.
This session will direct you to dependable sources of legal information; help you assess the reliability of legal information; explain the difference between legal information and legal advice; and tell you where to find legal advice and representation.
Participants will receive a copy of the PLE Northeastern Alberta Resource Directory, play bingo and be eligible to win some great prizes in this fun & interactive learning session.
Group Presentation for Legal method, the first assignment. The Presentation is focused on Topic guides. The group members are Bahaiya Nabeel, Ebru Yaldiz, Zarak Khan, Khadija Zafar.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
