Benefit corporations and Certified B Corporations are often, and understandably, confused. Both are sometimes called B Corps by mistake or as shorthand.

They share much in common and have a few important differences. Quick snapshot: Certified B Corporation is a certification conferred by the nonprofit B Lab. Benefit corporation is a legal status administered by the state. Benefit corporations do NOT need to be certified. Certified B Corporations have been certified as having met a high standard of overall social and environmental performance, and as a result have access to a portfolio of services and support that benefit corporations do not. What are the commonalities between benefit corporations and Certified B Corporations? What are the differences between benefit corporations and Certified B Corporations? Performance: Each Certified B Corporation has achieved a verified minimum score on the B Impact Asessment (80 points out 200 needed). Cable Viewer. Wikileaks began on Sunday November 28th 2010 publishing 251,287 leaked United States embassy cables, the largest set of confidential documents ever to be released into the public domain.

The documents will give people around the world an unprecedented insight into US Government foreign activities.

The embassy cables will be released in stages over the next year. The subject matter of these cables is of such importance, and the geographical spread so broad, that to do otherwise would not do this material justice. Every American schoolchild is taught that George Washington – the country’s first President – could not tell a lie.

Sovereign Ontology. The assumption that a certain thing is true, and which gives to a person or thing a quality which is not natural to it, and consequently establishes, a certain disposition, which, without the fiction, would be repugnant to reason and to truth. It is an order of things which does not exist, but which the law prescribes or authorizes. It differs from presumption because it establishes as true, something which is false; whereas presumption supplies the proof of something true.

The law never feigns what is impossible. Fiction is like art; it imitates nature, but never disfigures it. It aids truth, but it ought never to destroy it. Fictions were invented by the Roman praetors who, not possessing the power to abrogate the law, were nevertheless willing to derogate from it under the pretence of doing equity. It is said that every fiction must be framed according to the rules of law, and that every legal fiction must have equity for its object. The law abounds in fictions.

Just imagine what could become possible if an entire city had seen just one of the documentaries above. Just imagine what would be possible if everyone in the country was aware of how unhealthy the mainstream media was for our future and started turning to independent sources in droves.

Creating a better world really does start with an informed citizenry, and there's lots of subject matter to cover. From all the documentaries above, it's evident that our society needs a new story to belong to. The old story of empire and dominion over the earth has to be looked at in the full light of day - all of our ambient cultural stories and values that we take for granted and which remain invisible must become visible. But most of all, we need to see the promise of the alternatives - we need to be able to imagine new exciting ways that people could live, better than anything that the old paradigm could ever dream of providing.

January 1998 To be published as Chapter 2 in University-Community Collaborations for the Twenty-First Century: Outreach to Scholarship for Youth and Families, eds.

Richard M. Lerner and Lou Anna K. Simon, New York: Garland, 1998. Garland Publishing, a member of the Taylor & Francis Group, New York. I used to believe that neither society nor university faculty understood the Land Grant Idea. But, today, I am convinced that it is worse than that. In fact, different faculty play very different roles. The basic argument of this chapter is unremarkable but not well understood by most academics: the university has survived for nearly a millennium by creating new roles and adapting its mix of roles to fundamental changes in the nature of society and its practical needs. This chapter first addresses the historical development of the university and the accumulating roles in which the university has served society over the centuries. The modern university has many roles. The Land Grant Idea. Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England - Book the Second - Chapter the Fifteenth : Of Title by Purchase, and First by Escheat.

PURCHASE, perquifitio, taken in it's largeft and moft extenfive fenfe, is thus defined by Littletona; the poffeffion of lands and tenements, which a man hath by his own act or agreement; and not by defcent from any of his anceftors or kindred.

International Law : Lecture III I now propose to occupy you with a group of questions arising out of a subject of much interest and magnitude -- the Sovereignty of states over land and water. I will first quote a definition of Sovereignty which would fairly, I think, satisfy the jurists of the present day.

It is taken from an excellent book by the late Mr. Montague Bernard, of which the title is, 'The Neutrality of Great Britain during the American Civil War.' The definition is primarily a definition of a Sovereign State. It is necessary to observe that the conception of Sovereignty went through several changes before it became capable of this description. But Sovereignty, or what corresponded in ancient time most nearly to it, was not primitively associated with all these ideas; they took the place of other ideas of older date.
