Courting Country by LoRee Peery Pdf

One Secret Love + One Misdirection and Multiple Situationships = Courting Country Taggart Bauman has secretly loved Kylie Gordon since they were young, but she married his best friend. When Kylie is widowed, Taggert promises to take care of her. And even though he could be free to profess his love, he chooses to keep his feelings a secret. If Kylie knew that he'd failed to save her husband, she'd never forgive him. He knows, because he can't forgive himself. After being alone for so long, Kylie believes an online dating service is her last chance at finding love. But she continually finds herself in "situationships" that require Taggert to rescue her. When at last she reconnects with Eldon Wenz, an old friend from their college years, she thinks perhaps this is finally her second chance at love...but just in case, she asks Taggert to accompany her when she travels to Eldon's ranch. But sometimes things are not what they seem, and when one more situationship crops up, Taggart vents his resentment and tells Kylie she needs to work out the choices she's making. Will Taggart lose Kylie forever, friendship and all, or will Kylie realize that what she's been searching for has been right in front of her the whole time?

Courting Injustice by Rajesh Talwar Pdf

In this partnership between so-called equals, which can be compared to a polyandrous marriage, the Supreme Court is the woman and Parliament and the Executive her two husbands, one more loutish that the other, depending on your point of view. In the Nirbhaya case too the gap between theory and law has been highlighted. Following the terrible episode, (and even before) there has been continual and great improvement in the substantive laws for both women as well as children who have been victims of sexual violence. And yet despite their being so much publicity on the case, the author argues that, concretely, although there has been improvement in the laws themselves, we are nowhere near better enforcement or implementation. Even after the institution of a fast track trial, and with the nation’s attention focused on it, the Nirbhaya case still dragged on and it took more than nine months for the trial court to reach a verdict. And, as the author explains there are still potentially further delays waiting at the level of the superior courts, the High Court certainly and the Supreme Court too, quite possibly. As the author goes on to show in this well argued book, a woman who is the victim of a sex related crime ‘courts injustice’ whenever she comes to a court, be she the victim of a rape, an acid attack, of sexual harassment; the mother or father of such a victim or be it even any ordinary person struggling to find justice. Our courts, particularly the Supreme Court is performing the function of a nagging wife. Time and again she pulls up the lazy, good-for-nothing husbands (read ‘failure of governance’). And what does either husband do? He goes for a walk, ignoring the wife’s anguished screams even as they follow him. If she complains too much, he tells himself, he’ll see to it that she doesn’t get the silk sari and other goodies she wants (read ‘promotions’, ‘post retirement assignments’, etc). It is only one of the ways he ensures that she doesn’t step too much out of line. All wives nag, he consoles himself. Nagging here and there is tolerable but she must make sure that he gets his meals on time (read ‘doesn’t bar him from contesting elections even if there are a dozen or more criminal cases pending against him’). Meanwhile the overzealous wife doesn’t realize that while she rails and rants against the erring ways of her husband, the dishes are piling up in the kitchen. And the maid has gone away for six months and the dishes, they are piling up (read, the arrears are accumulating)! The time has come. It cannot continue to remain ‘business as usual’. There will be justice for Nirbhaya. Our ‘brave heart’ will also bring justice and relief to all her sisters. And possibly, even to the rest of us.

Courting Cate (The Courtships of Lancaster County Book #1) by Leslie Gould Pdf

#1 Bestselling Author Leslie Gould Delivers a New Amish Romance Series When Amish farmer Pete Treger moves to Paradise Township, Pennsylvania, seeking a better life, he meets sisters Cate and Betsy Miller. Both are beautiful, but older sister Cate is known more for her sharp tongue and fiery temper than her striking appearance. Betsy, on the other hand, is sweet and flirty--and seems to have attracted most of the bachelors in Lancaster County! However, the sisters' wealthy father has made one hard and fast rule: elder sister must marry first, before the younger can even start courting. Unfortunately for poor Betsy, and for the men who want to court her, her older sister, Cate, doesn't have any suitors--until Pete comes to town, that is. Though he finds both sisters attractive, something about Cate's feisty demeanor appeals to him. Soon the other bachelors in the district convince Pete to court Cate. She hardly seems receptive to his overtures, though. Instead, she's immediately suspicious of his interest.

The Court and the Country by Perez Zagorin Pdf

The Court and the Country (1969) offers a fresh view and synthesis of the English revolution of 1640. It describes the origin and development of the revolution, and gives an account of the various factors – political, social and religious – that produced the revolution and conditioned its course. It explains the revolution primarily as a result of the breakdown of the unity of the governing class around the monarchy into the contending sides of the Court and the Country. A principal theme is the formation within the governing class of an opposition movement to the Crown. The role of Puritanism and of the towns is examined, and the resistance to Charles I is considered in relation to other European revolutions of the period.

Gardens of Court and Country by David Jacques Pdf

Gardens of Court and Country provides the first comprehensive overview of the development of the English formal garden from 1630 to 1730. Often overshadowed by the English landscape garden that became fashionable later in the 18th century, English formal gardens of the 17th century displayed important design innovations that reflected a broad rethinking of how gardens functioned within society. With insights into how the Protestant nobility planned and used their formal gardens, the domestication of the lawn, and the transformation of gardens into large rustic parks, David Jacques explores the ways forecourts, flower gardens, bowling greens, cascades, and more were created and reimagined over time. This handsome volume includes 300 illustrations - including plans, engravings, and paintings - that bring lost and forgotten gardens back to life.

Sir Stephen Powle of Court and Country by Virginia F. Stern Pdf

This reconstruction of Sir Stephen Powle's life (1553?-1630) is based on some nine hundred letters, diaries, and legal documents that he recorded, and it concludes with a summary of his extensive manuscripts. Making this previously unexplored primary source material lucidly and chronologically available within a narrative of Powle's life should prove of unique importance to scholars and yet of interest to the general reader as well, for Powle has given color and illuminating detail to an eventful era. Being more introspective than most of his contemporaries, he enables a modern reader to understand some of the motivating feelings of the period. Powle tells us first of his education at Oxford and at the Middle Temple of his struggles to achieve independence from an autocratic and parsimonious father, and of a young man's subsequent three years of travel on the Continent and in Scotland. After this, he became a government agent: first for Lord Treasurer Burghley in Heidelberg at the court of Duke John Casimir and later under the aegis of Sir Francis Walsingham in Venice and northern Italy during the eighteen months preceding the Spanish Armada's "Enterprise of England." During this period Powle sent back biweekly newsletters of considerable political and historical interest, which proved of value to Burghley and Walsingham in London. Upon Powle's return to London in 1588 he was knighted, and he made use of his legal education by serving as Clerk of the Crown in Chancery during the last eventful years of Elizabeth's reign and as one of the Six Clerks of Chancery during the early Jacobean period. His marginal comments on some of the important documents (which it was his function to record) provide new sidelights on the government's handling of the Essex Rebellion. Powle's adored first wife died in childbirth in 1590, but after a period of mourning from which he gradually recovered he married the heiress Margaret Turner Smith in 1593 and retired to their country estate in Essex, where he became a conscientious and hardworking Justice of the Peace. In 1608 he was elected to the Council of the Virginia Company of London, which gave paternal protection to the new young American settlements, and Powle served faithfully until the company's demise in the mid 1620s. He died in 1630 at the age of about seventy-seven, leaving for future generations the important legacy of his papers. Among these are lively, hitherto unprinted letters to and from his friend John Chamberlain and many exchanges of memoranda and comments with Sir Walter Raleigh, Powle's roommate at the Middle Temple and his firm friend thereafter. There are also letters of medical advice from his physician and literary crony Thomas Lodge, as well as unprinted brief verses by the poet Nicholas Breton, who so aptly dedicated his 1618 dialogue, The Court and Country, to Sir Stephen Powle.
