Synopsis

Useless knowledge about laws

Hidden deep in the dusty archives of law books and legal documents are some of the most bizarre, amazing and sometimes downright hilarious laws ever enacted. From the ban on collecting rainwater in parts of Australia to the bizarre rule that cabs in Victoria can carry a guide dog but not an ordinary dog, this book reveals the most outlandish laws from around the world you'll ever read!

"Useless Knowledge of Laws" is not only a collection of fascinating facts, but also offers a unique perspective on the cultural, historical and sometimes humorous backgrounds that led to the creation of these laws. For example, why is it illegal to drive a car backwards in Thailand, except in an emergency? And why on earth would it be necessary in Western Australia to enact a regulation restricting the possession of over 50 kg of potatoes?

The book not only makes you smile, but also offers illuminating insights into the often complex cultural and social dynamics that have led to the introduction of such laws. It shows how countries and cultures have evolved over time, and often these seemingly absurd-sounding laws reveal deep cultural wisdom or important social context.

"Useless Knowledge of Laws" is the perfect gift for the curious reader, the budding law student, or simply anyone who enjoys strange and unexpected facts. It's a journey around the world through its most bizarre legislation and guarantees that you'll be armed with a wealth of fascinating talking points after reading this book.

Step into a world where the unexpected and the absurd go hand in hand, and discover how the law - a tool often seen as dry and formal - is actually full of surprises, curiosities and, yes, a little madness too. You'll never look at law books the same way again!

    In the past 15 years cutting-edge innovations in neuroscience have led to one of the most powerful insights in human history…that within each and every one of us there are natural biological potentials for real happiness. In this course, you will learn how to harness your brain's own natural anti-depressants and uncover your true potential for joy!
     
    I'm Elisha Goldstein, author of The Now Effect and most recently Uncovering Happiness: Overcoming Depression with Mindfulness and Self-Compassion. For over 15 years I've been studying and teaching the psychology, neuroscience and practice of uncovering happiness in everyday life.
     
    Along the way I've dug deep into a variety of disciplines and discovered some key natural anti-depressants that:
    
      turn the volume down on our negative thinking,
      lower our stress,
      heighten states of joy and
      wire in the balance and confidence that we can all learn and attain.
    
     
    This has been my experience, the experience of thousands of people I've worked with and is also backed by the latest science.
     
    
     
    About The Symposium
     
    The Uncovering Happiness Symposium is a very personal project for me. It's been my life's work to uncover the potential in each and every one of us for uncovering happiness and I couldn't be more thrilled to bring it to you right now.
     
    In this Symposium you'll learn:
     
    · The key ingredients of lasting happiness
     
    · How to practically bring them into your daily life
     
    · And how to do it so you change your brain for the better
     
    Ultimately you will learn how to take back control of your mind, your mood and your life, sewing the seeds for real lasting happiness.

    In "The Creatures Time Forgot," Ray Bradbury weaves a poignant and imaginative tale that explores the themes of nostalgia, memory, and the inexorable passage of time. The story follows the protagonist, who embarks on a journey back to a forgotten world, where ancient creatures and lost wonders linger in the recesses of his mind.
    As the narrative unfolds, the protagonist reflects on his childhood and the vivid, fantastical memories that shaped his perception of reality. Through a series of rich and evocative descriptions, Bradbury captures the essence of a bygone era, invoking a sense of longing for the innocence and wonder of youth. The creatures of the past symbolize not only the innocence lost but also the enduring power of imagination and the impact of memories that remain etched in our hearts.
    Bradbury's lyrical prose draws readers into a world where the boundaries between reality and dreams blur, and where the creatures of our past serve as reminders of the beauty and fragility of life. The story invites readers to confront their own memories and consider how they shape our present and future.
    "The Creatures Time Forgot" is a testament to Bradbury's mastery of storytelling, revealing his ability to evoke deep emotions and provoke thoughtful reflections on the nature of existence. This tale resonates with anyone who has ever looked back at their past with a sense of wonder and nostalgia, making it a memorable and impactful reading experience.

    Directly from the headlines: Even before its mandated closer due to the Covid-19 virus epidemic, after spending billions of dollars, the American education system was in crisis. Students were not being prepared for anything except more years without adequate benefit and were turning off. Teachers were quitting in droves, and taxpayers were losing faith in the schools they paid for with their taxes. Resulting in nation-wide teacher shortages, it never needed to happen. This project is as explosive to the field of education as Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring was for agriculture and pesticides, or Ralph Nader’s Unsafe at Any Speed was for auto safety. And like those books, A Teacher’s Quest not only identifies problems but offers solutions.
