Après avoir cerné les contours de la jurisprudence Salduz et rappelé l''état du droit avant Salduz, l''ouvrage fait le point sur l''évolution des législations nationales en France et en Belgique pour répondre aux exigences de la Cour européenne des droits de l''homme. Il met en perspective deux systèmes proches mais différents qui, chacun, ont mis en place des solutions jurisprudentielles et législatives spécifiques.

12 Tears of a Slave: Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl is a slave narrative that was published in 1861 by Harriet Ann Jacobs, using the pen name ""Linda Brent."" This book is an in-depth chronological account of Jacobs''s life as a slave, and the decisions and choices she made to gain freedom for herself and her children. It addresses the struggles and sexual abuse that young women slaves faced on the plantations, and how these struggles were harsher than what men suffered as slaves. This book is considered sentimental and written to provoke an emotional response and sympathy from the reader toward slavery in general and slave women in particular for their struggles with rape, the pressure to have sex at an early age, the selling of their children, and the treatment of female slaves by their mistresses.

Harriet Jacobs, fille d’un homme libre, est née en 1813 en Caroline du Nord. Sa mère est une esclave : elle l’est donc, elle aussi.

Jusqu’au jour où elle parvient à fuir et à rejoindre les États du Nord...

Perfect Master Crown Prince Arik needs a consort to breed his sons but is afraid no woman will have him voluntarily once she sees his scars. He will meet his bride for the first time at their public mating, with Arik covered from head to toe in black leather-except for the bare essentials. Emerald is alarmed yet highly aroused as the palace eunuchs fondle and stimulate her in preparation for Arik''s mating. But afterward, he pulls from her body, escorts her to his tower and leaves her alone. Emerald once saw her prince from a distance and admired his beautiful form. Confused by Arik''s behavior, she insists she has the right to see her mate and he reluctantly accedes to her demand. Arik is afraid for the first time in his life and filled with regret that he refused the help of the cyborg maker. Their future rests on this fateful revelation. Her Alien Masters Garnet wants great wealth-and finds it in her new Master, the golden alien Romulus. But she soon learns Romulus also has a male slave, Antonio, his life companion. When they were young, Antonio was modified to be a near-perfect duplicate of his Master. Their bond is strong and Romulus expects Garnet to welcome Antonio into their bed. Though sex with the two men is wonderful, Garnet wants her mate all to herself. Romulus has two jealous lovers on his hands. Wishing to make Garnet happy, he gifts Antonio with his own eunuch as a compromise...but Romulus misses him deeply. As Garnet''s love for Romulus grows, so does her need to make him happy as well. Her solution? All four of them-living together, sleeping together, loving together. Always. Training the Master Pearl wants constant sexual pleasure, so she''s mated with Pak Lin, master maker of sexbots that are almost indistinguishable from humans. But she soon learns she wants more-some emotion, some human caring-from her mate, who seems about as cold as the sexbots who served as his groomsmen. Lin seems incapable of any emotion. Pearl knows she has little hope of ever meaning more to Lin than a convenient receptacle for his lust. She must lure him, seduce him-make him burn with desire for her alone. She must teach him how to love.

Vu la complexité grandissante de la procédure pénale belge, il est indispensable que les étudiants et les praticiens disposent d’un exposé synthétique permettant aux uns d’apprivoiser la matière et aux autres d’avoir sous la main un maximum d’outils pour surmonter les difficultés de la pratique. C’est ce besoin que la quatrième édition du Manuel de procédure pénale tente de rencontrer. Une nouvelle édition s’imposait non seulement en raison de nombreuses évolutions jurisprudentielles mais surtout de deux révolutions récentes de la procédure pénale belge que sont l’extension de la transaction pénale qui modifie complètement les équilibres de la procédure et les rôles respectifs des acteurs judiciaires, d’une part, et la « loi Salduz » qui garantit au suspect l’assistance d’un avocat dès le premier interrogatoire, d’autre part. Comme dans les éditions précédentes, les auteurs se sont attachés à présenter un texte structuré, clair et critique, intégrant les nouveautés législatives et jurisprudentielles selon un plan simple et didactique ; les innombrables références doctrinales et jurisprudentielles et les questions plus pointues sont rassemblées dans les notes de bas de page de manière à distinguer l’essentiel de l’accessoire et à faciliter la recherche. L’équilibre entre liberté individuelle et efficacité de la répression est plus que jamais l’enjeu de la procédure pénale ; une réflexion critique sur ses différents aspects et ses évolutions s’imposait dès lors dans cet ouvrage, fruit d’une longue expérience pratique et théorique.

"Northerners know nothing at all about Slavery. They think it is perpetual bondage only. They have no conception of the depth of degradation involved in that word SLAVERY; if they had they would never cease their efforts until so horrible a system was overthrown."--A Woman of North Carolina "Rise up, ye women that are at ease! Hear my voice, ye careless daughters! Give ear unto my speach." - Isaiah xxxii.9 . (From Original Title Page).

It was January 2009 in Wellington, New Zealand. I was 43 and overloaded with emotionally charged court cases as a sole family law barrister. I was missing my late grandmother. In my mind I called to her many times for her to visit me. She didn''t but she did visit my mother in her dreams. My mother said that she was calm and serene. I began a path of psychic experimentation. I searched the internet for ways for me to increase my psychic awareness. I progressed to buying a crystal ball and images would unfold in front of me and then words started appearing. Soon I no longer needed the crystal ball, because full sentences were appearing before me on the ground. It was Wes my spirit guide communicating with me. He had been talking to me all along. When Wes started speaking to me in my head, he told me that he was my husband and he said: ''I love you to bits''. I was soon surrounded by spirits such as Marilyn Monroe, Princess Diana, Heath Ledger and Albert Einstein. We were doing everything together. I no longer needed anyone from the real world But unbeknownst to me, there were dark forces that were awaiting me, where all my worst fears would be realised. I would experience demons, the afterlife and the darkness of hell.

HISTORY OF THE AMERICAS. Harriet Ann Jacobs (1813-1897) was born into slavery in North Carolina, but escaped to the north to flee her owner''s sexual advances. This autobiography was published under a pseudonym in 1861 to protect her family. She became involved with the Anti-Slavery Society, speaking at meetings in support of abolition. The book was aimed at middle-class white women, and stresses the impact of slavery on women''s chastity, as slaves were frequently sexually exploited. She is highly critical of the nominal Christianity of the culture of the southern States. Much of the narrative deals with her efforts to regain her children, who had remained her master''s property. Jacobs'' first-hand account was an early publication of its type, and many found the abuse she suffered shocking and unbelievable. Jacobs became a role model for freed slaves, in taking control of her life, and helping others to adapt through education.

Harriet Jacob''s life exemplifies the history of her people throughout the nineteenth century. The Harriet Jacobs Family Papers, composed of writings by Jacobs, her brother John S. Jacobs, and her daughter Louisa Matilda Jacobs, writings to them, and private and public writings about them, presents a unique angle of vision. Fueled by the conflict between the impluse of liberty inspiring American life and the institution of chattel slavery blighting that life, the papers collected here off new perspectives on nineteenth-century struggles against slavery, racism, and sexism. The Harriet Jacobs Family Papers is designed as a lasting contribution to the ongoing study of the ways in which these national struggles and the social conditions that gave rise to them have shaped our culture and continue to shape our lives.

An authentic narrative of slave life and one of the few written by a woman.
