The right of habeas corpus is the constitutionally bestowed right of a person to present evidence before a court that he or she has been wrongly imprisoned.

The law just can't keep you locked up, execute you, or decide your fate without a determination of whether you've committed a crime or not.

Section 9 of the US constitution states - The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it.

Since September 11th, Habeas Corpus has been suspended and the government has the right to execute enemy combatants without trial. They've also passed law that they can execute American citizens without trial as well if they are considered a threat.

President Bush and Lincoln are the only two presidents to suspend Habeas Corpus and it is still currently suspended under the Obama administration (2010) giving the federal government full rights to assassinate whom ever they deem necessary without accusation or trial.

Habiba

The meaning of Habiba is beloved, sweetheart or loved one, and it's incredibly accurate. A Habiba is a stunning human being, with a brilliant sense of humour and a personality that reminds you why it is a pleasure to be alive.

Habiba can make you laugh when you've had the worst day. You can talk to her as though you've known her your whole life, and trust her with anything. Habiba's are beautiful creatures, and if you know one then hold on! You feel that the world is a brighter place simply by talking to her. She is the kindest, most genuine individual, who you can be yourself - no matter how ridiculous that is - with, and an absolute honour to have in your life :)

Habiba is the kind of incredible friend that I would happily share Tom Hiddleston with. Cheekbones and all. I love her so, so much <3

Habiba

A Muslim girls name widely used in Somalia and North Africa. It means 'sweetheart or beloved'.

God was expressing himself when he created the beautiful Habiba. She has the typical African afro hair, big puffy lips, dark eyes and dark skin. Her physique captures the most humble gaze. Her friendship brings greatness into your ordinary life. Her inner beauty us expressed through her kind words, actions, breath and thoughts. A calm and peaceful girl who can find beauty in almost everything. She's very spiritual and most of her friends are socialists. Very classy but at times looks grungy. She's very popular but rarely gets close and nitty with anyone. Life has taught her to be cautious of people especially women who are close to her. Although her best friends adore her but she sometimes sees bitterness in their eyes and actions because they get intimated by her natural beauty, carefree spirit and her toned figure. Habiba is positive and confident in her abilities. She's probably one of the worlds most self conscious people and sometimes struggles with accepting her appearance, but then there are times where she's happy with herself. A business minded girl who has gathered knowledge from the most unexpected people and they taught her that unconditional loyalty earns real friendship and the realists earn enemies. Habiba is amazing, wise and a kind girl.

habiba is one kickass girl.

Whale

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.

"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."
