Digital Information Design (DID) is primarily a business information management (BIM) model. As with any model it is used to help you to describe problems and test potential solutions. DID is not like any other method or framework model; it is independent of any other existing model or framework and does not claim to manage the entirety of the design of business information services. DID identifies useful and widely used best practices that are designed specifically for use in any phase of bu...

The one event in our history that has been least understood, is the coming of Jesus Christ to our world, to transfer humanity and our planet into a grand new reality.

What he has done is clear and simple. Yet it is so far beyond our limited imagination, that its significance has escaped the entirety of the human population, including Christian religion. The small number of individuals, and sometimes small groups, that really understood, was so free of this world and its trouble, that they hav...

In this incandescent novel Frances Raval gives superbly vivid, powerful and at times wickedly funny portrayals of the foundations of Freudian psychoanalysis as it emerged in the 1890s and thus by implication of the inner life of the whole epoch. The Story of Dora is a richly ironic and imaginative reconstruction of the famous Freudian case-history, Dora: An Analysis of a Case of Hysteria. The novel shows Freud’s handling of the case to be one of his most scandalous impositions of theory ont...

“The fact that hierarchical organisations require ever more rules, procedures and control to function is a clear indication that this model has reached the end of its operational life.”

This book examines the South Asian constitutional systems (India 1950, Bangladesh 1972, Pakistan 1973, Sri Lanka 1978, Bhutan 2008, Nepal 2015), adopting a comparative law and ‘contextual’ approach. Social diversity is the main feature of this geographical region, vast in dimension, also according to its demographic profile. This is why studying this area from a legal and institutional perspective is not only a crucial need for comparative law, but also a major methodological and intellec...

Cultural objects have a protected status on account of their intangible value, as symbols of an identity. This has been so since the early days of international law, and today there is an extensive legal framework that ensures this protection. Yet, when it comes to claims by former owners to items such as Nazi-looted art, colonial booty, or more recently looted antiquities, the situation is less straightforward. On the one hand, such claims are often not supported by positive law at all. On t...

De Nederlandse kunstenaar Maaike Schoorel (1973) behoort tot een nieuwe generatie internationaal georiënteerde schilders wiens werk refereert aan de traditionele schilderkunst en de mythische status van Nederland als schilderland. De onderwerpen van haar schilderijen, ontleend aan vertrouwde ervaringen en alledaagse ontmoetingen, openbaren zich pas na lang en geconcentreerd kijken. Schoorel gebruikt fotografische bronnen als startpunt voor haar schilderijen, die op hun beurt geworteld zijn i...
