The United States filed a Statement of Interest arguing that, under the Act, the front doors and walkways are “public use and common use portions” of covered dwellings and therefore required to be accessible, regardless whether there is another accessible route into the unit. Defendants argued that their only obligation was to provide an accessible route into the unit, which, they alleged, they had done by providing an accessible route through the garage. At issue was whether, under the Fair Housing Act’s accessibility requirements for newly-constructed multifamily dwellings, the front door and walkway leading to a covered unit are required to be accessible to persons with disabilities.

This fiction debut is the contemporary evolution of cyberpunk: the future isn’t about virtual reality but augmented reality. NEXUS offers human characters, real (scary) science, and deep ethical dilemmas. It’s a perfect summer beach read, a stimulating near-future thriller loaded with equal amounts action and speculation. Optioned for a film by Paramount and Darren Aronofsky, NEXUS is probably the best book of 2012 that I’ve read in 2013. Maybe it’s the summer heat? Regardless, NEXUS by Ramez Naam ( Amazon) has shattered that lethargy and cleansed it in napalm. I’ve got plenty of awesome material to pick from and a complete and utter lack of motivation to read.

We can only recondition what we first recognize, and a book that does a beautiful job at helping readers remove guilt and move past shame is, “Let Go Of The Guilt” by Valorie Burton. Guilt is rooted so deep within our hearts, it’s often hard to recognize we’re carrying it without consciously acknowledging where it originated. There are so many things we need to let go of in life, but one that I’ve seen cripple most people is guilt. Whether that means letting go of limiting beliefs, toxic relationships, shame, or even guilt, letting go is the key to truly living your life’s purpose and walking in the freedom that you’re called to. This entire month is dedicated to letting things go. Hobbes's relationship to his contemporaries was therefore a complex one. Nevertheless, some of the positions for which he argued attracted a following that owed much to the power of his argument and the way in which his assumptions about the world and human nature fitted with a variety of positions that many in the seventeenth century throughout Europe were coming to see as attractive. The general hostility to him in England we shall shortly chart. Despite this, Hobbes was to influence almost all later thinkers, either directly or indirectly, through his account of the individual and the state and to leave a mark on political theory that lifts him into the highest ranks alongside the names of Plato, Aristotle, Machiavelli, Locke, Hegel, Marx and Mill. Books in English or Latin hostile to him in the seventeenth century alone run into hundreds and his name became a byword for sensual license and atheism at a time when England was ruled by a puritanical ethic that, officially at least, and until the Restoration of 1660, allowed no deviation from the strictest moral code. Indeed, if judged by the number of hostile books and pamphlets he generated, he may well be the most maligned philosopher of all time. Hobbes generated more hostile literature than any other thinker in the seventeenth century. |
