In his tweet, he said that ” I am extremely disappointed by decision of Punjab Assembly to raise pays & privileges of MPAs, Ministers & Especially CM. Once prosperity returns to Pak such a move could be justified, but now, when we do not have resources to provide basic amenities to all our people, this is untenable.
The Punjab Assembly on Wednesday has taken a step by increasing the salaries, perks and privileges of the members to more than double after making legislation in record haste, within 24 hours of tabling the bill concerned. The unanimously-passed legislation was tabled as a private bill.
The bill ended up as a unanimous bill since none of the members opposed it from both sides, except PPP’s parliamentary leader Hasan Murtaza. It was unanimously passed after a standing committee also gave its approval within a few minutes of discussion.
After this legislation, the Punjab chief minister will draw Rs 350,000 per month, while members will draw over 200,000 per month as their basic pay and allowances rose to more than double. The salaries of the members of the Punjab Assembly and ministers raised by the provincial assembly exceed the pays of their counterparts in all the provinces and at the federal level. | law |

A new proposition on the ballot for this November offers a unique experiment with California’s established Proposition 13 tax laws. It is particularly applicable to you if you are 55 years old or severely disabled.
Proposition 5 grants a property tax break to senior citizens and disabled persons, allowing the transfer of their property tax to a replacement property of equal or lesser value as defined in the county where the property is located.
This is one of the more intriguing experiments in state property-tax law since Proposition 13 was passed 40 years ago. Prop 13 limited local property taxes to 1 percent of the purchase price – or the 1975 assessed value – while capping subsequent increases at 2 percent annually.
In addition, Prop 13 requires a two-thirds majority for legislative approval of new state taxes as well as two-third voter approval for new local taxes. It’s a well-liked law for a simple reason: it allows homeowners to enjoy predictable expenditures. Moreover, your home’s increased value will not force you out. Instead, you move when you choose.
Let’s go back to Prop 5 for the minute. Many California homeowners don’t want to move because it means forfeiting their ultra-low property tax rate under Prop 13. However, should Prop 5 pass, homeowners aged 55 or more ould be allowed to transfer their existing property tax rate to a new home.
This is a total game-changer to many California homeowners – and was proposed by the California Association of Realtors. The point: encouraging older homeowners living in empty homes too large for their needs to move on without worrying about losing their tax benefits.
“Proposition 5 would amend Proposition 13 (1978) to allow homebuyers who are age 55 or older or severely disabled to transfer the tax-assessed value for their prior home to their new home, no matter (a) the new home’s market value; (b) the new home’s location in the state; or (c) the number of moves,” the Ballotpediaassessment of the proposition reads. “As of 2018, homebuyers over 55 years of age were eligible to transfer their tax assessments from their prior home to their new home if the new home’s market value is equal to or less than the prior home’s value and once in their lifetimes. Furthermore, counties, not the state, decide whether tax assessments can be transferred across county lines.”
In the likely event that the new home is differently valued than the old home, Prop 5 would allow for an adjustment between those amounts. “If the new home has a higher market value than the prior home, the assessed value would be adjusted upward,” Ballotpedia reports. “If the new home has a lower market value than the prior home, the assessed value would be adjusted downward.”

It becomes government that happens to you, instead of government working for you. This abuse of the public’s trust impacts everything government touches — from our schools to our roads, water, and economy. Selling out this basic democratic principle has led to unjust, even fatal, consequences. Look no further than the 48,000 workers who were falsely accused of fraud by the state, the Flint water crisis, the privatization that led to tragedy at the Grand Rapids Home for Veterans, or children in Detroit who had to sue the governor for the right to literacy in our schools.
Michigan is ranked as one of the worst offenders for corruption by special interests and dark money. Government works best when elected officials are accountable to the people who elect them – not the people who bankroll their campaigns, and not their buddies.
I’m no stranger to cleaning up government. When the Ingham County Prosecutor’s Office was mired in scandal, the circuit judges unanimously chose me to step in to reform the office and reestablish public trust. I implemented tougher ethics standards, just like we need statewide.
Now we need fundamental reforms to restore public trust, including:
Expanding freedom of information laws to include official email, correspondence, and the calendar of the Governor, because citizens shouldn’t have to file lawsuits to see what their government is up to. The Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and entire executive branch engaged in a conspiracy of silence during the Flint water crisis and the public didn’t have the tools to find out what they were hiding. Too many laws over the past seven years were negotiated by just a few legislators and power brokers behind closed doors.
Stricter lobbying rules because the sad truth is that lobbyists write legislation and dictate how too many members vote. We can limit that influence by stopping the revolving door that lets term-limited members cash in as lobbyists.
Real campaign finance reform and increased transparency to reform our system, because we’ve seen what happens when we allow millionaires to marshal fortunes to get themselves elected or sway an election for their own personal interests. It’s an affront to democracy and it has to stop.
Return power to local governments so their democratically elected offices can make decisions based on what their unique communities need. I fought against the emergency manager law — voting against it twice as a legislator, and once as a citizen. I will work to replace state emergency management with meaningful investment, support, and assistance and make sure that our public officials are putting the people of Michigan ahead of the bottom line. And I will veto any legislation that uses loopholes to cut the people out of the democratic process.
End gerrymandering so that the people choose their representatives, not the other way around. Before the next governor and the legislature sit down to redraw legislative districts we need to reform our election laws to prohibit the kind of gerrymandering that lets lawmakers create districts based on partisan interests instead of community interests.
Together, we will take on the tough fights and demand action in Lansing. I’m ready to work with anyone who wants to solve problems, and I’m not afraid to challenge both parties to do what’s right.

When a truck smashed a car off the highway, our friends at Tauber Law Offices asked us to build a "shock and awe" type presentation that would show the indisputable liability of the truck driver.
We used real-world data to recreate the motor vehicle accident with precise virtual accuracy to capture the incident from multiple angles. We also built a custom Digital Injury Summary equipped with animated spinal surgery a exhibits to show the full extent of the victim's suffering and recovery, as holes and hardware are drilled into her skeleton.
The folllowing exhibits helped convince the defense to settle for $5.95M.
“The owner of the trucking company and the insurance adjuster were both blown away when we played the animations for them in mediation. Furthermore, my client’s spine surgeon was speechless when we showed the reenactment of his surgery.”
Exhibit A: Animating the Collision
We animated the accident from multiple angles - including the driver's perspective - to demonstrate the semi-truck driver's actions, and show why he was liable for the victim's damages.
Exhibit B: Digital Injury Summary
Once we established liability, we helped Mr. Tauber drive home the extent of damages with a custom Digital Injury Summary. The interactive exhibit enabled Mr. Tauber walk the viewer through each step of the surgery using animation to help the audience understand the victim's suffering. | law |

Palm, Inc., announced that it has settled a patent infringement lawsuit filed by Xerox Corporation nine years ago.
In April 1997, Xerox sued a predecessor to Palm, Inc. (U.S.R.), claiming that the handwriting-recognition technology marketed as Graffiti and formerly used in PalmOS handhelds infringed a Xerox patent known as the Unistrokes patent.
The agreement affords Xerox and Palm “patent peace.” Palm will pay Xerox $22.5 million for a fully paid-up license for three Xerox patents, including Unistrokes, and a seven-year mutual covenant not to sue for patent infringement within mutually agreed fields of use. Palm will account for the license as a charge against earnings in its fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006. Under the settlement, Palm’s co-defendants, including PalmSource, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of ACCESS Co., Ltd., and 3Com Corp. will receive a full and unconditional release from the litigation, and each is entitled to a fully paid-up license to the Unistrokes patent. | law |

They are essential for resolving conflicts, addressing misconduct, and ensuring that employees are treated fairly. In this article, we will explore the intricacies of workplace investigations, understanding their purpose, the investigation process, the principles of fairness, legal considerations, common challenges, and the steps to follow after an investigation is concluded.
Understanding Workplace Investigations
Workplace investigations are systematic processes used to gather and evaluate information regarding alleged workplace issues. These issues can range from harassment and discrimination claims to allegations of theft or ethical misconduct. The primary goal of an investigation is to uncover the truth and make informed decisions based on the evidence gathered.
The Investigation Process
A successful workplace investigation begins with a well-documented initial report. Once a report is filed, an investigator or a team is designated to handle the case. They are responsible for gathering evidence, interviewing relevant parties, and maintaining strict confidentiality throughout the process.
Interviewing techniques play a crucial role in the investigation process. Interviewers must be skilled at asking open-ended questions, actively listening, and remaining neutral to obtain accurate information. It’s also essential to document all interviews and evidence meticulously.
Key Principles of Fairness
Fairness is the cornerstone of any workplace investigation. Several key principles ensure that the process is just and equitable:
1. Impartiality and Neutrality: Investigators must approach the case with an unbiased mindset, free from personal biases or conflicts of interest.
2. Presumption of Innocence: Every individual involved in the investigation, whether an accuser or accused, should be presumed innocent until proven otherwise.
3. Timeliness and Efficiency: Investigations should be conducted promptly to minimize disruptions and prevent the escalation of issues.
4. Due Process and Employee Rights: Employees involved in investigations have the right to know the allegations against them and have an opportunity to present their side of the story.
Workplace investigations must operate within the bounds of employment laws and regulations. Human Resources and legal counsel often play vital roles in ensuring compliance with these laws. Investigations must also adhere to the requirements of government agencies like the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
Common Challenges and Pitfalls
Workplace investigations are not without challenges. Bias, conflicts of interest, and the handling of sensitive or high-profile cases can pose difficulties. Balancing employee privacy rights with the need for a thorough investigation is also a common challenge.
Reporting and Decision-Making
After gathering evidence and conducting interviews, investigators formulate their findings and conclusions. Recommendations for corrective actions are made based on these findings. All of this information is then documented in a comprehensive investigation report. The report serves as a critical document for stakeholders, including management, HR, and legal counsel.
Once the investigation is concluded, there are important steps to take. Effective communication with the parties involved is essential to inform them of the outcomes. It’s also crucial to prevent retaliation against those who have filed complaints or participated in the investigation.
Monitoring and follow-up are necessary to ensure that any recommended actions are implemented and that the workplace environment improves. This includes measures to prevent future occurrences of the issues investigated.
Workplace investigations are a fundamental tool for maintaining fairness, transparency, and trust within organizations. They are not without challenges, but by adhering to the principles of fairness, legal requirements, and a systematic process, organizations can navigate workplace investigations effectively. As workplace dynamics continue to evolve, the importance of conducting thorough and fair investigations cannot be overstated. By doing so, organizations can uncover the truth, address issues, and create a workplace that fosters productivity, employee well-being, and long-term success. | law |

Introduction to Advance Health Care Directives (AHCD) California law gives you the ability to ensure that your healthcare wishes are known and considered if you become unable to make these decisions yourself. The following are answers to commonly asked questions about Advance Directives:
What is an Advance Health Care Directive?
An Advance Health Care Directive (AHCD) is the best way to make sure that your healthcare wishes are known and considered if for any reason you are unable to speak for yourself. Completing a form called an Advance Health Care Directive allows you, under California law, to do either or both of two things:
First, you may appoint another person to be your healthcare agent. This person (who may also be know as your attorney-in-fact) will have legal authority to make decisions about your medical care if you become unable to make these decisions for yourself.
Second, you may write down your healthcare wishes in the AHCD form – for example, a desire not to receive treatment that only prolongs the dying process if you are terminally ill. Your doctor and your agent must follow your lawful instructions.
Is an Advance Health Care Directive different from a living will?
The AHCD is now the legally recognized format for a living will in California. It replaces the Natural Death Act Declaration. The AHCD allows you to do more than the traditional living will, which only states your desire not to receive life-sustaining treatment if you are terminally ill or permanently unconscious. An AHCD allows you to state your wishes about refusing or accepting life-sustaining treatment in any situation.
Unlike a living will, an AHCD also can be used to state your desire about healthcare in any situation in which you are unable to make your own decisions, not just when you are in a coma or are terminally ill. In addition, an AHCD allows you to appoint someone you trust to speak for you when you are incapacitated.
You do not need a separate living will if you have already stated your wishes about life-sustaining treatment in an AHCD.
Is an Advance Health Care Directive different from a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care?
The AHCD has replaced the Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care as the legally recognized document for appointing a healthcare agent in California. The AHCD allows you to do more than a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care. An AHCD permits you not only to appoint an agent, but also to give instructions about your own healthcare. You can now do either or both of these things.
What if I have already executed a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care or a Natural Death Act Declaration. Is it still valid? Do I have to complete a new Advance Health Care Directive?
All valid Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care and Natural Death Act Declarations remain valid. Thus, unless your existing Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care has expired, you do not have to complete a new AHCD. A Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care executed before 1992 has expired and should be replaced. Because the new AHCD gives you more flexibility to state your healthcare desires, you may wish to complete the new form even if you previously completed a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care or Natural Death Act Declaration. At a minimum, you should review your existing Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care or Natural Death Act Declaration to make sure it has not expired and that it still accurately reflects your wishes.
Who can complete an Advance Health Care Directive?
Any California resident who is at least 18 years old (or is an emancipated minor), of sound mind, and acting of his or her own free will can complete a valid AHCD.
Do I need a lawyer to complete an Advance Health Care Directive?
No. You do not need a lawyer to assist you in completing an AHCD form. The only exception applies to individuals who have been involuntarily committed to a mental health facility who wish to appoint their conservator as their agent.
Who may I appoint as my healthcare agent?
You can appoint almost any adult to be your agent. You can choose a member of your family, such as your spouse or an adult child, a friend, or someone else you trust. You can also appoint one or more alternate agents in case the person you select as your healthcare agent is unavailable or unwilling to make a decision. (If you appoint your spouse and later get divorced, the AHCD remains valid, but your first alternate agent will become your agent.)
It is important that you talk to the people you plan to appoint to make sure they understand your wishes and agree to accept this responsibility. Your healthcare agent will be immune from liability as long as he or she acts in good faith.
The law prohibits you from choosing certain people to act as your agent(s). You may not choose your doctor, or a person who operates a community care facility (sometimes called a board and care home) or a residential care facility in which you receive care. The law also prohibits you from appointing a person who works for the health facility in which you are being treated, or the community care or residential care facility in which you receive care, unless that person is related to you by blood, marriage or adoption, or is a co-worker.
Can I appoint more than one person to share the responsibility of being my healthcare agent?
It is recommended that you name only one person as your healthcare agent. If two or more people are given equal authority and they disagree about a healthcare decision, one of the important purposes of the AHCD – to identify clearly who has authority to speak for you – will be defeated. If you are afraid of offending people close to you by choosing one over another to be your agent, ask them to decide among themselves who will be the agent, and list the others as alternate agents.
I want to provide more specific healthcare instructions than those included on this form. How do I do that?
You may write detailed instructions for your healthcare agent and physician(s). To do so, simply attach one or more sheets of paper to the form, write your instructions, write the number of pages you are attaching, and sign and date the attachments at the same time you have the form witnessed or notarized. More specific instructions are available at the California Medical Associations website at http://www.cmanet.org.
How much authority will my healthcare agent have?
If you become unable to make your own health care decisions, your agent will have legal authority to speak for you in healthcare matters. Physicians and other healthcare professionals will look to your agent for decisions rather than to your next of kin or any other person. Your agent will be able to accept or refuse medical treatment, have access to your medical records, and make decisions about donating your organs, authorizing an autopsy, and disposing of your body should you die.
If you do not want your agent to have certain of these powers or to make a certain decision, you can write a statement in the AHCD form limiting your agent’s authority. In addition, the law says that your agent cannot authorize convulsive treatment (i.e., electroconvulsive therapy or ECT), psychosurgery, sterilization, abortion, or placement in a mental health treatment facility.
The person you appoint as your agent has no authority to make decisions for you until you are unable to make those decisions yourself, unless you choose to allow your agent to make those decisions for you immediately.
When you become incapacitated, your agent must make decisions that are consistent with any instructions you have written in the AHCD form or made known in other ways, such as by telling family members, friends or your doctor. If you have not made your wishes known, your agent must decide what is in your best interests, considering your personal values to the extent they are known.
What should I tell my family, my healthcare agent, and my doctors?
One of the most important parts of completing an AHCD is the conversations you have about it with your loved ones and your physicians. You should talk about: your personal values and what makes living meaningful to you, including your current medical condition and decisions you may foresee in the future, specific concerns or wishes you may have regarding life support or aggressive interventions, hospice or long-term care; what concerns you most about death or dying; and how you would want to spend the last month of your life. It is recommended, although not always possible, that such a discussion include both your physician(s), and your healthcare agent (and alternate agent(s)).
Tell your loved ones that you have completed an AHCD and what you have said in it, especially if you have selected a healthcare agent. Your AHCD will likely go into effect during a period of crisis for them. It can help ease their burden to know that you have made some of these decisions in advance. In addition, they should know in advance who is to speak for you in making medical decisions and where copies of your AHCD can be found. Remind them that their role is to make sure that your wishes are communicated and that those wishes guide their decision-making.
Will my healthcare agent be responsible for my medical bills?
No, not unless that person would otherwise be responsible for your debts. The AHCD deals only with medical decision-making and has no effect on financial responsibility for your healthcare. Please note, however, that unless you have made other arrangements, your agent may be responsible for costs related to the disposition of your body after you die. Consult an attorney regarding how your financial affairs should best be handled.
For how long is an Advance Health Care Directive valid?
An AHCD is valid forever, unless you revoke it or state in the form a specific date on which you want it to expire.
What should I do with the Advance Health Care Directive form after I fill it out?
Make sure that the form has been properly signed, dated, and either notarized or witnessed by two qualified individuals. (The form includes instructions about who can and cannot be a witness). Keep the original in a safe place where your loved ones can find it quickly. Give copies of the completed form to the people you have appointed as your agent and alternate agent(s), to your doctor(s) and health plan, and to family members or anyone else who is likely to be called if there is a medical emergency. You should tell these people to present a copy of the form at the request of your healthcare providers or emergency medical personnel.
Take a copy of the form with you if you are going to be admitted to a hospital, nursing home or other healthcare facility. Copies of the completed form can be relied upon by your agent and doctors as though they were the original.
What if I change my mind after completing an Advance Health Care Directive?
You can revoke or change an AHCD at any time. To revoke the entire form, including the appointment of your agent, you must inform your treating healthcare provider personally or in writing. Completing a new AHCD will revoke all previous directives. In addition, if you revoke or change your directive, you should notify every person or facility that has a copy of your prior directive and provide them with a new one.
You should complete a new form if you want to name a different person as your agent or make other changes. However, if you need only to update the address or telephone numbers of your agent, or alternate agent(s), you may write in the new information and initial and date the change. Of course, you should make copies or otherwise ensure that those who need this new contact information will have it. You should make a list of the people and institutions to whom you give a copy of the form so you will know whom to contact if you revoke the AHCD, update contact information or make a new one.
I have reached a point in my life that I don’t want the paramedics to give me CPR. Will this Advance Health Care Directive keep this from happening?
If the paramedics see your AHCD before they start resuscitative efforts, and the AHCD clearly instructs them not to start these efforts, they probably will not start resuscitation. The best approach is to complete the Prehospital Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) form and obtain a Do Not Resuscitate EMS medallion approved by California’s Emergency Medical Services Authority. You may order copies of the DNR form (which includes instructions on ordering the medallion) from CMA publications. See http://www.cmanet.org for more information.
Is my Advance Health Care Directive valid in other states?
An AHCD that meets the requirements of California law may or may not be honored in other states, but most states will recognize an AHCD that is executed legally in another state. If you spend a lot of time in another state, you may want to consult a doctor, lawyer, or the medical society in that state to find out about the laws there.
Can anyone force me to sign an Advance Health Care Directive?
No. The law specifically says that no one can require you to complete an Advance Health Care Directive before admitting you to a hospital or other healthcare facility, and no one can deny you health insurance because you choose not to complete an AHCD.
Where can I get more information about the Advance Health Care Directive?
Your doctor probably can provide you with more information. However, you should talk to a lawyer if you want legal advice.

The quotas, however, have been greeted with equal degrees of optimism and criticism from diversity campaign groups. So whilst British banks could be the first businesses in the UK to have such equality measures imposed upon them, should the rest of British industry be welcoming or rejecting these quotas?
Women’s equality has come a long way since the days of the suffragettes. The number of female CEOs of major companies is increasing year on year and more women are being invited to join the boards of prominent companies – a prime example being the appointment of Sheryl Sandberg to the board of Facebook, one of the fastest growing and most important companies of recent times. Additionally, albeit slightly into the future, 2016 is hotly tipped to be the first time a woman, Hilary Clinton, is in serious contention for the Presidency of the United States.
Given these advances, you could argue that imposing quotas is a draconian and backwards step away from women’s equality. When promotions and hiring decisions need to satisfy a gender requirement, such quotas may actually diminish the true potential for promotions to be awarded on ability. If men lose out to female counterparts because they aren’t of the right gender, how is this any more equal? Worse still, such inequality can also undermine the authority of women in senior positions. How can employees be confident in the abilities of their female managers when they are given cause to wonder whether a woman received her job on the basis of a gender quota?
SilverDoor takes pride in its diversity. 10 out of the 22 members of senior management are women – all of whom are in their roles due to merit and not some gender tick box. Nevertheless we do try to maintain an element of balance. Marcus Angell, our Managing Director, says: “balance is important, it reflects real life”. Ultimately, however, it is about finding the best person for the job.
The quotas are an important step toward equality and diversity but are they the right step? If we start hiring and promoting our employees on the basis of gender what happens to the equality of ability? After all, isn’t ability the most equal measure we have?

5.7 The period of limitation shall amount to twenty-four (24) months and shall start upon the acceptance of shipment and service unless the statutory periods of limitation are longer.
The liability of the supplier shall be in accordance with the statutory regulations. As far as the supplier is responsible for product damages, the supplier shall be obligated to indemnify the customer at first request to the extent that the cause was under its control and it is organizational sphere.
In this framework, the supplier shall also be obligated to reimburse any expenses in accordance with §§ 683, 670 of the German Civil Code, which arise from, or in connection with, a recall carried out by the customer, as far as the claim is not based on §§ 830, 804 in connection with §§ 426, 254 of the German Civil Code.
The customer shall be liable for the breach of contractual and non-contractual obligations, i.e. even those committed by its executives, only in the case of intent and gross negligence. This is limited to damages typical for the contract, which are foreseeable at the conclusion of the contract.
However, these limitations shall not be applicable in the event of a culpable breach of essential contract obligations.

8. Drawings and Tools
8.1 As far as drafts, drawings, or tools are required for the fulfillment of purchase orders, a written release by the customer shall be required. The supplier shall be ob ligated to discuss – based on the drawings – the design and conception of the tools together with the customer. Such discussion does not limit the supplier’s responsibility for the proper fulfillment in accordance with the contract. This also applies to the warranty and guarantee obligations of the supplier with respect to the articles of delivery as well as to suggestions and recommendations of the customer unless expressly agreed otherwise.
8.2 Following the performance of the works and / or following the completion of the constructions, the corresponding tool drawings and technical documents shall be sent, free of charge, to the customer, at the latest until the date of acceptance, and the ownership shall be transferred to the customer.
The customer shall be informed immediately of any changes, which are performed by the supplier after the acceptance. Without the written consent of the customer, any drawings, tools, samples and other documents and / or articles must not be used beyond the contractual purpose and / or must not be disclosed to any third party.
These shall remain the property of the customer and shall be promptly returned to the customer after the completion of the order.
8.3 The supplier shall service, maintain and protect the articles and documents owned by the customer and insure them adequately.
9. Invoices and Payments
9.1 Any invoices shall not be enclosed to shipments. Instead of this, they shall be sent separately broken down by shipments and for each purchase order by specifying the purchase order number.
9.2 The payment shall be made with currency selected at our discretion. Such currency shall be the fulfillment of the consideration owed by the customer.
9.3 Payments are due net within a period of sixty (60) days (or as agreed) following the actual delivery and / or acceptance of the service and the receipt of the invoice. Payments are executed on the 1st and on the 15th of each month. If one of these days falls on a weekend or a public holiday, the payment will be executed the next working day.
9.4 Any payments made by the customer do not mean an acknowledgement of the invoice or of the proper and perfect shipment and / or service in accordance with the contract and are therefore expressly made under the reservation of a corresponding examination to ensure their accuracy and regularity.
10. Assignment and Setoff

Register here for the May 12 webinar discussing the new report and top policy solutions to phase out oil and gas production in California.
California is the seventh-largest oil producing state in the country, with a fossil fuel industry that is responsible for billions of dollars in state and local revenue and other economic activity each year. Yet continued oil and gas production contrasts with the state’s aggressive climate mitigation policies, while creating significant air and water pollution, particularly for disadvantaged communities in areas where much of the state’s drilling occurs.
As a result of these risks, many advocates and policymakers seek ways to enhance regulation of and eventually phase out oil and gas production in California. To provide legal options for policy makers to facilitate this transition, CLEE’s report Legal Grounds outlines steps California leaders could pursue on state- and privately-owned lands to achieve this reduction. Among the steps discussed, state leaders could:
- Enhance regulatory authority over drilling by clarifying the need for the California Geologic Energy Management Division (CalGEM, the state's primary oil and gas regulator) to prioritize environmental and climate impacts over production;
- Heighten scrutiny on permitting via comprehensive environmental review with mandatory, site-specific mitigation measures under the California Environmental Quality Act;
- Institute minimum statewide drilling setbacks of at least 2,500 feet or more from sensitive sites, such as schools, parks, and houses;
- Implement a per-barrel or per-well severance tax and dedicate the revenue to projects that further the goal of transitioning away from fossil fuel; and
- Task the California Air Resources Board with devising and implementing a comprehensive plan for a phase-out of all in-state oil and gas production by a date that tracks with overall climate goals.
This report comes at a unique moment in the history of in-state oil and gas production. As of April 2020, the industry is struggling economically due to a global collapse in oil prices and a decrease in demand from COVID-19-related shutdowns. An intelligently structured phase-out could result in less harm to jobs and local economies, and California’s actions could demonstrate to other states and countries how to successfully sunset their fossil fuel production. The menu of law and policy options presented in Legal Grounds can assist state leaders in addressing these challenges and charting a new course for California’s in-state fossil fuel production. | law |

Before Act 154 was passed by the 2018 regular session of the Louisiana Legislature, there were only five states in the United States that required a personal finance course for high school graduation: Alabama, Missouri, Tennessee, Utah and Virginia. The legislation, sponsored by Senator Thompson and Representative Gene Reynolds, makes personal financial management a requirement in public elementary and secondary schools in Louisiana. The instruction must include the following components: income, money management, spending and credit, and saving and investing.

Not only is Dr. Matthew Kemble’s medical practice at risk, but also his liberty. If he is found guilty of trespassing on a woman’s right to die, he could go to jail.
The novel Do No Harm exposes the dangers faced by conscientious doctors in Britain. Dr. Kemble’s decision to treat a patient in defiance of her Living Will pits him against English Law, public opinion and his own profession. The legal and personal battles he faces raise many questions about the role of the physician in the modern world, contemporary beliefs about autonomy and human rights, and the increasingly bitter clash of values in twenty-first century Britain.
Set in and around London, the story explores the interrelated stories of a physician facing ruin and imprisonment at the height of his career, his old friend and doggedly determined lawyer, Jonathan Kirkpatrick, and Maria, a passionate, dedicated but intensely lonely young campaigner who while working for the defense proves incapable of staying out of trouble herself. | law |

The article provides valuable information on how cohabitation impacts alimony payments and the legal procedures surrounding these issues in the state of Florida.
In the first few paragraphs of the article, Naples alimony lawyer Russell Knight highlights the fact that alimony is awarded in a Florida divorce if the court finds that one party has a need for alimony and the other party has the ability to pay. The article goes on to explain that if the ex-spouse receiving alimony moves in with a boyfriend, girlfriend, or gets remarried, the presumption might be that the new partner is now supporting the ex-spouse, and the old ex-spouse should be relieved of their obligation to pay alimony. However, this is not the case under Florida law.
According to Naples alimony lawyer Russell Knight, “Cohabitation is a basis for modifying alimony after a Florida divorce.” He adds that the burden to prove a supportive relationship rests with the person trying to reduce or terminate alimony (the alimony payor). The article further elaborates on the factors a court can consider when determining if a supportive relationship exists and the different steps a court must take to modify alimony based on cohabitation.
The article also discusses the concept of proving a supportive relationship and the potential defenses that can be used by the alimony-receiving spouse. For instance, they may argue that the new partner does not really help the alimony-receiving spouse that much. However, Knight notes that the law in Florida does not consistently require the payee ex-spouse to prove they need alimony after a supportive relationship is proven.
The importance of clear contractual terms in alimony agreements is also emphasized in the article. Parties can agree on specific terms upon which alimony will reduce or cease, making the process more straightforward for everyone involved. Additionally, the article clarifies that any motion to modify alimony is only retroactive to the date of filing, but if the parties contracted in their marital settlement agreement for alimony to end upon cohabitation, the alimony ends upon cohabitation, not upon the filing date.
To better understand the complexities of cohabitation and alimony in Florida, consider reading the article by Naples alimony lawyer Russell Knight. The detailed analysis and legal insights provided can be invaluable for individuals facing these issues during a divorce or post-divorce.

You might be wondering: Where is the best place to resolve a legal dispute in general? It depends on what your situation is. A lawsuit can be filed in any legal court that can give you a fair trial. But a defendant can transfer a case if they have a good reason to. You should choose a court that is capable of handling your claim.
When is SS1391 (b)(3) a proper venue in a case? This fallback provision allows for personal jurisdiction to be asserted in any judicial district. If defendants reside outside their home states, plaintiffs may look to this provision to provide venue. However, plaintiffs must establish that they have sufficient contacts with the defendant in a given district in order to file suit in that court.
Venue is important in federal civil actions because of geography and subject matter jurisdiction. A court that has personal jurisdiction over one defendant may not necessarily have subject-matter jurisdiction over another. A state with multiple federal district may not be the right venue. A federal court in another state might be the appropriate venue if a plaintiff files suit in one district, but is subject to jurisdiction elsewhere.
When filing a lawsuit, SS1391(b)(6) specifies that the district in which the defendant is personally liable is the appropriate venue. This rule generally applies to civil actions where the defendant is an individual and where a substantial part of the events gave rise to the lawsuit. This rule is particularly important in patent infringement cases. The following are examples of cases where SS1391(b)(6) may be appropriate in a lawsuit.
The federal venue statute is found at 28 U.S.C. SS 1391 is the definition of a federal civil action. It also describes its key components and distinguishes it from jurisdiction. Venue is important because a plaintiff’s filing in the proper venue does not guarantee the court has jurisdiction over the subject matter or parties to the lawsuit. As a result, a lawsuit can be dismissed or transferred if venue rules are improper.
The courts consider the entire chain of events when deciding the proper venue for a lawsuit with Abogados en San Bernardino. This includes the relationship between the parties and the district. Henderson v. Laser Spine Inst. is a case that illustrates the use of this fallback provision. LLC, a dispute involving fraud and negligence as well as intentional infliction or emotional distress. In this case, the defendant company’s relationship with the plaintiff in Maine was sufficient to establish personal jurisdiction in the Eastern District of Virginia.
A plaintiff will choose the judicial district where the alleged harm occurred. Normally, the venue is the state or county where the defendant resides. This is a geographical exercise. Some states have only one federal district while others can have as many as four. If the defendant is located in another state, the plaintiff must choose that state or county. SS1391(b)(7) is typically an appropriate venue in a lawsuit.
Courts consider the sequence of events when deciding where to file a suit. A dispute under SS1391B(8) will normally be heard in a district where a significant part of the events took place and the defendant has personal authority over the plaintiff. Personal jurisdiction refers to the place where a plaintiff can file a lawsuit, even if it is not located in the state.
There are exceptions to this rule about venue. A lawsuit arising from a contractual promise of performance must be filed in that county. This applies to creditor suits that arise from personal contracts and household agreements. A contract that contains personal use provisions is not allowed to waive venue requirements under subsection c.
To challenge an issue of venue in a case, file a motion for venue dismissal. The code of civil procedures lists the proper venue. This statute is often waived, but must be filed with initial response to complaint. The courts have special rules for venue, such as that the lawsuit can be moved from one federal district to another or from a state court to a federal court. Venue may be a defense in cases that involve foreign countries.
Venue is the place where a lawsuit is filed in a federal court. Rules are specific to federal courts and govern the venue of federal civil actions. A lawsuit must be filed in federal court. The plaintiff must establish personal jurisdiction in the appropriate district. In some cases venue is determined by law of the state where the defendant lives, such as a New York or California court. | law |

They are the legal proof of the share ownership. It is also a mandate that the organisations issue a Dividend/ Interest Warrant for each of the shareholder against the amount they are eligible for. Since it is a financial matter, the certificates and warrants require a number of security features like watermark, fugitive ink, hologram seals, etc.

Beyond the Schism!
Under the umbrella term Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), discourses around mediation and other non-judicial approaches to conflict resolution have been constrained by a predominantly legal narrative ultimately founded on an `either-or’ dichotomy between status quos instead of allowing a third way resting on a `both-and’ approach. The highly influential ADR critic Owen M. Fiss rejected ADR as a threat to human rights, public values and justice. He argued that the legal script is the only reliable bulwark against demoralization under the spread of capitalism, and a yardstick by which public values can be maintained. Given the increasing commodification of justice and the law’s blindness for complex processes and structures, it is apparent that the legal tradition by itself has proven to be incapable of defending these values effectively. An approach to conflict transformation — which goes beyond being an Alternative Dispute Resolution to the judicial process, and transcends the dualism of either-or — may offer a more adequate response to address the challenges Fiss was justifiably concerned about. Mutli-disciplinary problem-solving teams, deep reconciliation and dialogue approaches are needed to address underlying conflicts the symptoms of which may become salient as legal breaches.

Three years ago today, Joseph Frederick’s suit against secondary school principal Deborah Morse and the Juneau School District reached the US Supreme Court. Joseph Frederick was suspended for displaying the beside banner across from his school during the Olympic torch relay leading up to the 2002 Winter Olympics. In response, he sued, citing freedom of speech as provided by the first amendment of the US Constitution.
Applying the logic of the previous three landmark school speech cases (Tinker, Fraser, and Hazelwood), the Supreme Court ruled in favour of the Juneau School District, reasoning that “Bong Hits 4 Jesus” was considered promotion of illegal drugs and was thus contrary to the basic educational mission of the school. | law |

BT have been challenging BSkyB and their restrictive attitude towards rival pay-TV companies offering their sports channels. Now, following a successful case at the Court of Appeal, BT have taken the case to a competition tribunal.
“The telecoms giant appealed against a decision by the Competition Appeals Tribunal. The CAT had struck out an order by the communications watchdog Ofcom that said BSkyB had to offer Sky Sports to rivals at a lower price.
The Court of Appeal however sent the case back to the CAT today after it made ‘errors of law that mean the judgment cannot be upheld’. The panel of three appeal judges found the CAT failed to appreciate the importance of Ofcom’s conclusion that BSkyB’s wholesale pricing structure itself caused ‘competition concerns’.
BT’s victory is the latest round of a battle dating back to 2007, several years before it mounted an all-out assault on BSkyB with the launch of BT Sport. At the time it was dipping a toe in the waters of television with its BT Vision set-top box and wanted to offer Sky Sports as part of the package.
After a three-year investigation, Ofcom ordered BSkyB to cut its prices in 2010, prompting four years of court battles so far. Virgin Media had also complained about Sky Sports prices.
BT said the Court of Appeal’s decision would give it the chance to raise the current issue of its failure to secure a wholesale deal to offer Sky Sports to subscribers who have its more modern YouView set-top box, which was introduced last year alongside BT Sport.
The rivals have both said they want to do a deal but have failed to agree reciprocal wholesale terms for Sky Sports and BT Sport.
A BT spokesman said: ‘We are glad that this issue will now be considered afresh and are hopeful that the outcome will finally deliver increased competition in pay TV which would be in the best interests of consumers.
‘BT remains unable to offer Sky Sports 1 and 2 on its most important TV service YouView. Sky’s refusal to offer access to these channels on reasonable terms causes serious harm to consumers and must be resolved urgently.’
The decision was also welcomed by regulators, who have been frustrated by the legal quagmire and were embarrassed by the CAT’s original finding against them.
An Ofcom spokesman said: ‘Ensuring fair and effective competition in the pay TV market has always been Ofcom’s objective.
‘Ofcom’s 2010 decision that Sky must offer premium sports channels to other providers was designed to deliver choice and innovation to consumers through greater competition.’
The Government is currently preparing laws that would restrict the rights of companies to appeal against regulatory decisions.
A BSkyB spokesman said: “This does not alter in any way the CAT’s fundamental findings, overturning Ofcom, that Sky engaged constructively with other distributors over the supply of its premium sports channels, and that Virgin Media is able to compete effectively with Sky on the basis of Sky’s rate card prices.
‘Sky continues to believe that Ofcom’s 2010 decision is flawed and that the WMO obligation ought properly to be removed, and will continue to pursue all available options to achieve this aim.’”

Post date: Dec 19, 2017 3:37:53 PM
Neighbourhood Watch is a program to help neighbours watch out for neighbours. It aims to get citizens involved in discouraging and preventing crime at the local level. They are extra eyes and ears for reporting crime and helping each other. The ultimate success of Neighbourhood Watch depends largely on a commitment to cooperation between area residents and the police - and more importantly, between residents themselves.. They are extra eyes and ears for reporting crime and helping each other.
Your neighbours know who you are, what type of car you drive, and may be the first to notice a suspicious person at your door or window. A police officer patrolling your community may not recognize a stranger in your yard - but your neighbour will.
By simply getting to know the neighbours around you, you'll be well positioned to recognize someone or something that's suspicious.
What kind of activities should I be aware of?
§ Someone screaming or shouting for help.
§ Someone looking in windows of houses or parked cars.
§ Property being taken out of houses when no one is at home or from closed businesses.
§ Vehicles moving slowly for no apparent reason.
§ Anyone being forced into a vehicle. Strangers sitting in a car or stopping to talk to a child
Some common questions:
What if I forgot to lock my vehicle, front door and items are taken. Should I report it. Absolutely. If someone has been checking into your vehicle for items, they are committing a crime. You need to report it so that the Ottawa Police is made aware of potentially extra crimes in your neighbourhood
What are my responsibilities as a Watch Member?
§ Be alert!
§ Know your neighbors and watch out for each other.
§ Report crimes and suspicious activities to the Police.
With Neighbourhood Watch, you can learn:
how to make your home less inviting to thieves (free CPC consultation available)
to be aware of suspicious behavior and how to take appropriate action
how to participate in Operation Identification by marking your personal property
to encourage others to reduce or prevent local criminal activities
As a member, your only duty is to look out for your best interests and those of your family and neighbours. You could do this by:
ü keeping your own home secure
ü monitoring your neighbour's homes during their absences
ü being a good neighbour, the kind you would like to have living next door
ü taking appropriate action when a crime is suspected
"Neighbourhood Watch? No offence, but I value my privacy. I mind my own business and I expect my neighbours to do the same. What's wrong with that?"
Nothing at all. We all value our privacy. But Neighbourhood Watch is simply a program designed to help neighbourhood crime - it could be vandalism, physical assault, or whatever is deemed as suspicious or a crime in progress. One of the ways you can help achieve this goal is by being alert to the behavior of strangers. A Watch makes it a whole lot easier to identify strangers once you get to know your neighbours and for this reason, watched neighbours tend to be more cohesive, caring communities. So, bottom line, it really comes down to deciding what kind of community you want to live in, and what level of participation makes it work for you.

Denied or Underpaid Claims
No money out of pocket
We’re here to handle your denied or underpaid claims.
You pay the insurance company premiums so that when you have a claim, the insurance company will pay you what you need to get back on your feet. Unfortunately, insurance companies are businesses, and businesses must make profits. Insurance companies protect their profits by denying claims whenever they can be denied. When your claim is denied, it can feel like you have no options. Fortunately, you always have at least one option: Call Pro Public Adjusters. Our Philadelphia based insurance negotiators can look at your claim and provide insight and recommendations for pushing back when your claim has been denied or underpaid.
Like most legal documents, an insurance policy is a sea of jargon, technicalities, and legalese. Reviewing your insurance policy can be like wading through word soup. Fortunately, our experts have experience in more than just valuing your claim. We are experienced in all of the ins and outs of insurance policies. Serving clients in the Tri-State Area, including in Philadelphia, our insurance negotiators can review your policy and see if a mistake was made in your denial. From there, we will determine in what ways your claim may be valid.
Fighting for You
Unfortunately, when it comes to filing an insurance claim, every professional you’re working with works for the insurance company. The only amateur is you, because you probably have a professional life beyond insurance claims. If your homeowners claim was denied, our Philadelphia based adjusters can help. At Pro Public Adjusters, we are professionals who work for you, not the insurance company. With no up-front cost to you, we will handle everything from filing your appeal to supplying all the documentation and estimates needed to get your claim approved.
Get What You Deserve
An insurance policy is a big expense over the lifetime of premium payments. It is only fair that when the time comes for the insurance company to pay a claim for you, they hold up their end of the bargain. With our Philadelphia based insurance negotiators working on your side, you can count on getting everything you deserve.
Get in touch with us now for a free consultation.
If your valid claim was denied, it was likely because the insurance adjuster the company sent did not properly assess the damage and its causes, because they are fitting your claim into the insurance company’s mold. Your best hope is a second opinion from a trained public insurance adjuster who will review the data, make an accurate conclusion, and produce the proper documentation. Contact us to learn more about how we can resolve your denied homeowners insurance claim. We serve Philadelphia and the surrounding areas | law |

Four years ago yesterday, on the anniversary of the 1822 hanging, Mother Emanuel was the site of another unspeakable crime when a white supremacist named Dylan Roof opened fire during a prayer service, murdering nine innocent people and wounding four others. His actions were motivated by nothing but hatred, and he was convicted of 33 federal charges including murder and hate crimes. In January of 2017 he was sentenced to death.
Tomorrow evening, we will attend a candlelight vigil in the Gaillard Center Memorial Gardens across the street from the church, in remembrance of the lives and legacies of the Emanuel 9 and the four survivors of the shooting. It is sponsored by the Church, the City of Charleston, and other collaborative partners.
Unfortunately, we live in an era when there are far too many senseless acts of violence. Some are simply insane and aimed at random strangers while others, like this one, are directed at particular groups or individuals. Being close to the site of such tragedy drives it home to us, and we join in the sorrow and grieving of this community. Amidst such pain, it is right and appropriate to honor those whose lives were lost, and we feel privileged to be able to participate. | law |

“This trend obviously is very worrying and there is the need to build the capacity of the Cybercrime Unit of our police service and, in particular, all the law enforcement agencies in Ghana to fight the growing menace,” said Mr. Ambrose Dery, the Minister of the Interior.
Mr. Dery made this known when he opened the fifth African Working Group Cybercrime meeting for heads of cyber crime units of the police service of 15 African countries in Accra.
The meeting was organised by the INTERPOL General Secretariat, the Council of Europe, in collaboration with the Ghana Police Service.
Statistics from the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service shows that about 82 per cent of the cases reported to the cybercrime unit were related to fraud.
The victims, in most of the cases, were defrauded through romance, investment, advanced fee payment, email compromise, identity theft, mobile money, social media impersonation and Automated Teller Machine (ATM) fraud, among others.
In 2016, the amount lost to fraud and that stolen via cyberspace was $35 million. The figure increased to $69.5 million in 2017, an almost 100 per cent increment.
Globally, Mr. Dery said cybercrime cost was on the rise, with experts estimating it to hit $21 trillion by 2021.
These estimates, he said, would include damage and destruction of data, stolen money, lost productivity, theft of intellectual property, theft of personal and financial data, embezzlement, fraud, post-attack disruption to the normal course of business, forensic investigation, restoration and deletion of hacked data and systems and reputational harm.
The global cost of cybercrime, he said, rose to unprecedented levels in 2017 where it cost the world about $608 billion.
With Africa seeing 20 per cent growth in the use of the internet, Mr. Dery said the emergence of new technology was increasingly turning the continent into a source, as well as a target of cybercrime.
“Here in Africa, the cybercrime attacks for individuals, businesses and government has increased over the years. Cybercrime cost Africa an estimated $3.5 billion in 2017,” he said. | law |

In accordance with the requirements of the Education Welfare Act (2000) and guidelines issued by the NEWB, the Board of Management has adopted the following anti-bullying policy within the frame work of the school’s overall code of behaviour. This policy fully complies with the requirements of the Anti-Bullying procedures for Primary and Post Primary Schools which were published in September 2013.
The Board of Management recognizes the very serious nature of bullying and the negative impact it can have on the lives of pupils and therefore is committed to the following key principles of best practice in preventing and tackling bullying behaviour:
- A positive school culture and climate which is welcoming of difference and diversity, encourages disclosure and discussion incidence of bullying behaviour and promotes respectful relationships across the school community.
- Effective leadership
- A school-wide approach
- A shared understanding of what bullying is and its impact
- Implementation of education and prevention strategies that build empathy, respect and resilience in pupils and explicitly address the issues of cyber-bullying and identity based bullying.
- Effective supervision and monitoring of pupils
- Supports for staff
- Consistent recording, investigation and follow up of bullying behaviour
- On-going evaluation of the effectiveness of the anti-bullying policy.
In accordance with the Anti-Bullying Procedures for Primary and Post-Primary Schools bullying is defined as follows: Unwanted negative behaviour – verbal, psychological or physical – conducted by an individual or group against another person or persons and which is repeated over time. Isolated once-off incidents of intentional negative behaviour , including a once-off offensive or hurtful text message or other private messaging, do not fall within the definition of bullying and should be dealt with in accordance with the school’s code of behaviour. However, in the context of this policy, placing a one -off offensive public message, image or statement on a social network site or other public forum where it can be viewed and/or repeated by others will be regarded as bullying behaviour.It is important that parents are aware that users of Facebook and other social networking sites must be 13 years or over. Negative behaviour which does not meet this definition of bullying will be dealt with in accordance with the school’s code of behaviour.
The relevant teachers for investigating and dealing with bullying are:
- Deputy Principal
- All Class Teachers
- Learning Support Teachers
- Any Teacher
The school’s procedures for investigation, follow-up and recording of bullying behaviour and the established intervention strategies used by the school for dealing with cases of bullying behaviour are as follows:
Reporting Bullying Behaviour: Any pupil parent or guardian may bring a bullying incident to the attention of any teacher in the school. All reports including anonymous reports of bullying, will be investigated and dealt with by the relevant teacher. All staff members, teaching and non-teaching, must report any incidents of bullying behaviour witnessed by them, or mentioned to them, to the relevant teacher.
Investigating Bullying Behaviour: In investigating and dealing with bullying, the relevant teacher will exercise professional judgement to determine whether bullying has occurred and how best the situation might be resolved. Parents/guardians and pupils are required to co-operate with any investigation. Generally incidents will be investigated outside the classroom. Interviews will be conducted with sensitivity and due regard to the rights of all concerned. When analysing incidents of bullying behaviour, the relevant teacher will seek answers to questions of what where when who or why. If a group is involved, each member will be interviewed individually at first and thereafter as a group. It may be appropriate to ask those involved to write down their account of the incident. in cases where it has been determined that bullying has occurred, the parents/guardians of all involved will be contacted to inform them of the matter and explain the actions to be taken. It should be noted that any situation where disciplinary sanctions are required, is a private matter between the pupil being disciplined, his/her parents or guardians and the school.
Follow-up and recording: In determining whether a bullying case has been adequately and appropriately addressed, the relevant teacher must take into account whether the bullying has stopped, whether issues between the parties have been resolved, whether relationships between the parties have been restored and any feedback received from the parties involved. Follow-up meetings with relevant parties will be arranged separately with a view to bringing them together at a later date if the victim is ready and agreeable. Where parents/guardians are not satisfied that the school has dealt with a bullying case in accordance with these procedures they must be referred, as appropriate to the school’s complaints procedures. In the event that parents/guardians have exhausted the school’s complaints procedures and are still not satisfied, the school must advise them of their right to make a complaint to the Ombudsman for Children.
It is imperative that all recording of bullying incidents is worded in an objective and factual manner. The school’s procedures for noting and recording are as follows:
Informal pre-determination that bullying has occurred
- All staff will make a written record of any incident witnessed by them or notified to them. For any reports being investigated, the relevant teacher will keep a written record of the reports, the actions taken and any discussions with those involved regarding same. The relevant teacher will inform the principal of all incidents being investigated and will give her/him all reports for safe keeping. Written records will be kept on file in the principal’s office.
Formal Stage 1– determination that bullying has taken place
- If it is established that bullying has taken place the relevant teacher will keep appropriate written records which will assist her /his efforts to resolve the issues and restore, as far as is practicable, the relationships of the parties involved. All written reports will be given to the principal for safe keeping. Formal Stage 2
- The relevant teacher must use the recording template at Appendix 3 (DES Anti-Bullying Procedures) to record the bullying behaviour where he/she considers that it has not been adequately or appropriately addressed within 20 school days after he/she has determined that bullying occurred.
- Where even a single incident involves any of the following behaviours it must be recorded and reported immediately to the Principle or Deputy Principal :- Physical aggression, Offensive graffiti, Extortion, Harassment or the production, display or circulation of written words or other material aimed at intimidating another person.
- When the recording template is used it must be retained by the relevant teacher and a copy maintained by the principal. These records will be stored in a safe secure way in the principal’s office.
The Board of Management confirms that appropriate supervision and monitoring policies and practices are in place to both prevent and deal with bullying behaviour and to facilitate early intervention where possible.
This policy was adopted by the Board of Management on 17th June 2014. | law |

The social network, which was first sued in September 2011 by Chicago company Timelines Inc. for infringement, now faces a jury trial, scheduled for April 22, over the mark.
U.S. District Judge John W. Darrah said today that Facebook was not able to invalidate Timelines’ claim to the mark, Bloomberg reported. “At this stage in the proceedings, it is not unreasonable to conclude that as to this group of users, ‘timeline(s)’ has acquired a specific meaning associated with plaintiff,” the judge wrote in the ruling.
Launched in 2009, Timelines.com is a Web site that lets users collaborate to document historical events. The company, which has 1,000 active users, is seeking damages equivalent to advertising revenue generated from Facebook’s Timeline, Timelines attorney Douglas Albritton told Bloomberg.
When reached for a comment, a Facebook spokesperson declined to provide a statement on the legal matter. | law |

Tuttle. Tuttle's first work for the Fraternity at the national level came when he was elected Grand Chancellor at the 1927 Atlanta Convention. At the 1929 Memphis Convention, Tuttle was elected Grand Princeps - the Fraternity's highest office - a position he would hold until 1938. Tuttle left his most significant mark on the Fraternity at the 1933 Troutdale Convention when he convinced Junior Founder and Grand Treasurer Robert Adger Smythe to give up control of the Fraternity's finances after irregularities were discovered. A lawyer by profession, Tuttle established his reputation as a lawyer committed to upholding the principle of law and for supporting African American defendants throughout the 1930s. As a member of the Georgia National Guard in 1931, he helped save a black man from lynching by an angry mob, later agreeing to serve as the man's lawyer. Two years later, Tuttle took on the case of another black man who had been sentenced to 18 years of hard labor for simply distributing literature calling for the end of segregation. With the outbreak of World War II, however, Tuttle left his law practice to enlist in the Army, rising to command a field artillery battalion of the 77th Infantry Division. Although he was offered a non-combat staff position, Tuttle refused to be a non-combatant while young men - including his son and nephew - served in active combat. Seeing action in the Pacific theater, Tuttle took part in the invasion of Guam, Leyte Gulf, and Okinawa. In 1954, Tuttle was appointed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit - the court responsible for the majority of Southern states. Accepting the appointment just weeks after the Supreme Court's decision in Brown v. Board of Education, Tuttle walked into a political and judicial firestorm as political leaders urged their constituents to defy federal law, and many state and federal judges refused to enforce the Brown decision and other civil rights rulings. Judge Tuttle, however, upheld the law - reversing lower court judges and blocking unlawful treatment of black citizens. His notable rulings included: requiring Mississippi to permit black citizens to vote, ordering the first black student admitted to the University of Mississippi, and blocking an order from a lower court that would have permitted the expulsion of over 1,000 black Alabama high school students who had been arrested for demonstration for civil rights. Refusing to allow the Fraternity system to continue to discriminate either, Tuttle urged Fraternities throughout the period to give up discriminatory membership practices and to accept any worthy member, regardless of race. For his adherence to principle in the face of adversity during the Civil Rights Era - which came in the form of local ostracism, hate mail, and even threats of physical violence - Judge Tuttle was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1981. | law |

July 24, 2010 2 Comments
USCIS has updated its website with EB-5-related decisions from the Administrative Appeals Office through February 18, 2010. The following is a summary of salient points from the newly-posted decisions:
Nov 09, 2009_01: No content of note.
Jan 06, 2010_01: This decision concerns a stand-alone EB-5 case involving an operational hotel purchased through investment by the petitioner in 2006. It was denied for the following reasons:
- The petition did not establish creation of 10 new jobs (in addition to preserved jobs) and did not provide a satisfactory business plan.
- The petition did not establish a personal investment of $1,000,000 (“an investment by a corporation cannot be considered a personal investment by its sole shareholder”). (This issue was introduced by the AAO, not a point in the original denial by the service center.)
Feb 18, 2010_01 to _07: These decisions concern I-526 petitions filed in August 2008 for an investment within Capital Area Regional Center Job Fund (for renovation of the former Watergate Hotel). The decisions are similar, and include the following reasons for denial:
- The petition was supported by agreements substantially amended from those filed with the original regional center proposal, and did not disclose that the agreements had been amended. The petitioner subsequently filed an amendment with USCIS, but this did not help matters since “amendments to agreements or business plans that postdate the filing of the petition will not be considered.” CARc’s informal and ex parte communications with a USCIS official concerning the acceptability of the amendments were also not admitted.
- The Operating Agreement included disqualifying provisions relating to reserve accounts, interim investments, membership units in exchange for services and the waiver of expense fees from the aliens.
- EB-5 Project Capital toward job creation and organizational fees were paid out of the same account, and it wasn’t demonstrated that the account included sufficient funds to pay organizational fees without the use of any of the $500,000 being invested by each alien.
- Use of EB-5 investment to back a letter of credit to secure a construction loan does not sufficiently place the investors’ funds at risk for job creation.
- The petitioner did not demonstrate that the location of the investment was considered a TEA at the time of filing or investment.
- The business plan included “material changes” from the original business plan. (“While we recognize that business plans often require some flexibility to deal with unforeseen circumstances, the business plan and the terms of the commitment letter in this matter have been amended with nearly every filing. These amendments go far beyond mere clarifications.”) The petitioner failed to demonstrate that the original business plan and projections continued to be viable.
I note that, as usual, all the decisions cite Matter of Ho on business plans. | law |

Characteristics of multimodal transport:
Problems and trends
Abstract. This article discusses the characteristics of multimodal transport in the context of the existing international legal framework. In connection with the performance of various modes of transport, there is currently no international agreement covering transport operations that involve more than one transport mode. For this reason, a number of global and regional initiatives are under way to harmonize the rules for international multimodal transport of goods. The joint efforts of the international community are focused on finding less polluting and more energy-efficient transport solutions.
The legal relations between the participants in the multimodal transport chain (sea, rail, road, air, water), as well as between the carriers and the other participants in multimodal transport (freight forwarders, multimodal transport operators, dry ports, etc.) have their specific features. These relations should be covered by a potential new legal framework. The allocation of responsibilities between all participants is an issue characterized by its complexity and the need to harmonize the legal frameworks for multimodal transport operations and international legal regulation.
Keywords: intermodal transport, multimodal transport, combined transport, multimodal contract, transport of goods | law |

The Supreme Court Justices in California have ruled that freedom of religion is subordinate to the rights of those with same gender attraction. Apparently Justice Joyce Kennard wrote that two Christian fertility doctors, who practice in a private health care facility and refused to artificially inseminate a woman of same gender attraction, have neither a free-speech or religious exemption from state law. In essence, religious freedom is being trampled upon and subordinated to the wants and desires of an individual of same gender attraction who wants to be artificially inseminated. I can see if we are dealing with a life or death situation and the individual needs immediate medical care, the doctors have taken an oath and would be obligated to provide the best of care. But when it is simply elective and fulfilling a want or desire, for the courts to compel performance is beyond the breach.
As noted in my previous post, we find that the wants of those with same gender attractions being imposed upon society, wherein the same gender attraction community has turned to the judiciary to legitimize and legislate their lifestyle upon the majority interests in society. Our freedoms and liberties are without doubt being trampled upon, and it is not in our advocacy for freedom nor in our advocacy for Marriage. Our freedoms and liberties are being trampled upon in the name of "tolerance", "discrimination" and "choice." This is not about the heterosexual community imposing our lifestyle upon the homosexual community - On the contrary it is about the homosexual community imposing their lifestyle upon us to legitimize their elective choice and want. Surely, in our society the homosexual community can live as they wish, but when they seek to impose their lifestyles upon others, they trample upon the freedoms and liberties upon which this nation is founded.
As we choose our next POTUS, may we consider the criticality of this decision and choose wisely. In Senator Obama we have a man who reflects the attitudes and interpretation of our modern judiciary, legislating, dictating and imposing upon the freedoms and liberties that we cherish. A man who epitomizes the attitudes and philosophies of generational entitlement. In Senator McCain we have a man who believes and has fought for the freedoms and liberties that we share. A man who believes that our freedoms are endowed to preserve our society, not simply to fulfill our wants at the expense of others. Choose wisely and stand for freedom. | law |

Not so fast says Elina Miezite. You may need to get a license before you do…
One of the nicest things about achieving PR coverage for your business is sharing it with your colleagues, management, shareholders and customers. However, content sharing often puts businesses at risk of being exposed to penalties.
In April 2013 we reported on the fines imposed on one public body which fell foul of licensing rules. Why? Simply because any business needs a license to share content that isn’t published by the business itself. Elina outlines four things to consider in copyright
1) So what do you need to know?What do I need a copyright license for?
A copyright license will permit you to make copies of various published materials and share these with a specified number of individuals in your business in compliance with the law. Depending on what media channel your business is targeting, there are a variety of license providers, including the following organisations:
- Newspaper Licensing Agency
- Copyright Licensing Agency
- Motion Picture Licensing Corporation
You can also pay individual licences with specific publishers. The government’s licencing portal has more information.
However, regardless of where on the news your commentary appears, anything from taking photos, scanning pages to recording audio or video content and then sharing with others without an appropriate license, can put you at risk of breaching copyright laws.
2. I gave a BBC News interview on behalf of my business; will I breach the licensing rights if I copy the video and share it with my team?
There are of course social media sharing buttons which allow you to do this, but in the absence of this facility – perhaps if a piece of 3rd party recording software is used to download and store the content, you may be in breach if you don’t have an appropriate license. It’s important to understand that even though content is often generated by external PR advisors or a business’ own communication department by way of a press release, the publisher is the one who holds the rights to the material.
3. Which licence do I need in order to make copies of just our local media coverage to share?
The good thing is that a small business doesn’t have to pay the same licensing fee as a nationwide organisation. Firstly, because a smaller business may be looking for exposure within local or regional media, a single license can be granted directly from those publishers.
However it’s more than likely you’ll be looking for a licence that covers multiple titles. For example, an NLA license allows copies to be made of articles published in newspapers or magazines either in print or online, while a CLA license may be more suitable if you wish to re-use content from books, journals and electronic or online publications. The problem is that there are many overlapping areas covered by the different agencies as this graphic demonstrates:
If you plan to appear on TV, regardless of whether it’s regional or national, the Motion Picture Licensing Company will allow you to copy and share content from movies, TV programmes, or any entertainment video, without violating the Copyright Act.
What this all proves is you may in fact need more than one license, so to find out more about different licensing bodies, visit the government’s website here.
4. Will I need to pay for a license if I work with a PR agency which distributes cuttings?
The chances are you will, but the amount could vary from an agency to agency. Because of the nature of the work PR agencies do, you will struggle to find one that doesn’t hold a license already. For a PR agency to share their work, which is often press coverage, externally to clients, a media consultancy license is necessary. PR agencies usually employ external media cuttings services for collating coverage which in return makes it easy to deliver it to the client. However, you have to remember, that if you choose to further duplicate and share the received coverage yourself, you will most likely need to purchase your own license.
It’s likely you’ll have some unanswered questions and this article is intended only as a very rough guide. For up to date advice, please contact the relevant licensing bodies directly.

https://www.juanhuertalaw.com/news/can-you-go-to-jail-for-petty-theft/ | 2023-10-03T10:07:25 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511075.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003092549-20231003122549-00548.warc.gz | 0.950806 | 340 | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-40__0__3104457 | en | If you, a family member or friend are convicted of petty theft, jail time for petty theft is actually a possibility. If there is a previous criminal record, the chances of jail time go up. If the accused possess a green card or if there is any question of immigration status, petty theft is considered a crime that the court calls a crime of “moral turpitude,” and it could lead to deportation.
In the State of California, theft is divided into two types: Grand theft and Petty theft. Theft of property valued at more than $950 is considered grand theft. Theft of property valued less than $950 is considered petty theft. Anyone convicted of petty theft could be fined up to $1,000 and spend up to six months in county jail.
While this is bad enough, there are greater consequences if there is a prior on the convicted person’s record. Anybody that has been previously convicted of the following crimes could be charged with a felony or misdemeanor for petty theft with a prior. Misdemeanors alone are punishable by up to twelve months in jail. Felonies carry sentences up to three years in prison.
The list of prior crimes that enhance the penalty for a petty theft conviction include:
- Petty theft
- Grand theft
- Elderly fraud
- Violent crimes
- Some sex crimes
How a current petty theft crime and prior crimes come together in the court is complicated. California’s criminal courts are difficult to navigate under the best of circumstances. Having an experienced criminal defense attorney is always going to be better than self-representation. | law |

The Progression Lottery: Consequences for Students of Regulatory Variation in the UKHE Sector (A joint NUCCAT and SACWG seminar)
Date: Monday 2nd October 2017
Time: 10:30am – 3:00pm
Venue: Sheffield Hallam University
In 2015 NUCCAT and SACWG commenced an investigation into the extent to which different regulatory mechanisms used by UK universities to facilitate student progression were effective in fostering achievement. The findings of the first phase of research were launched in October 2016 at a Seminar in which the scope for the second phase of research was agreed: mapping the impact of regulatory variety on individual students.
The outcomes from this second phase of the research project will be launched at a joint NUCCAT & SACWG Seminar on 2nd October 2017. The Seminar will include a presentation of the findings of the research project to date, discussion of germane themes and exploration of the extent to which academic regulation can or should be fair, equitable and just. Delegates will receive a copy of the project ‘phase 2’ report.

Whilst we welcome the recent developments in relation to the disembarkation of rescued people on board the Alexander Maersk cargo and the ongoing coordination between the Governments of Italy, Malta, France and Spain, we urge all actors involved to immediately secure the disembarkation of the over 230 rescued people, among which children, unaccompanied minors and other vulnerable individuals, currently aboard the Mission Lifeline rescue ship. Whilst we appreciate the need to clarify legal responsibilities, we emphasise that the protection of life and human dignity should remain the topmost priority.
In order to preserve the integrity of the maritime rule whereby all persons in distress are to be rescued, it is imperative that coastal states coordinate their efforts towards ensuring a prompt disembarkation at a place of safety. This is a clear obligation under international law.
We are keen to clarify that NGOs rescuing persons in distress are not violating international norms but rely on States to fulfil their obligations by indicating a safe port for prompt disembarkation of all rescued persons. We also remind the authorities concerned that disembarkation in unsafe places, such as Libya, would violate international law and is therefore not a valid option. Thus, we express our concern with the announcement made by both the Italian and Maltese authorities on the intention of sanctioning the captain and crew of the Mission Lifeline rescue ship.
As Italian and Maltese civil society organisations, we reiterate that political disputes over migration responsibilities cannot be resolved by violating international law and placing people’s lives and wellbeing at risk. Humanitarian and human rights obligations should always prevail over political considerations.
We, therefore, urge the forthcoming European Council meeting to urgently identify and implement much-needed solutions to the situation in the Mediterranean, inspired by the principle of European solidarity and fully in line with the obligations related to the protection of human rights.

Because at least one of them was smoking, Officer Scott Womack said he was either going to have to call their parents or do a quick check of their car to make sure there were no drugs, according to Reid.
After checking their IDs, the deputy allegedly told them that three of the occupants had warrants out for their arrests. He had the girls lift their shirts and bras up, allegedly to look for drugs, according to Reid.
Womack then told Reid she was wanted in Arizona for heroin possession. Reid tried to tell the officer she had never done heroin and never been to Arizona. She believed her ID was stolen because Womack claimed he ran a check on a computer using her driver’s license number.
In an effort to allegedly make positive identification, Womack told Reid to undress so he could look for tattoos and piercings, the lawsuit states. After she refused one of the deputy’s alleged orders, she said the search was over and she was allowed to get dressed. She claims the incident lasted about five minutes while it was snowing and dark outside with few other cars on the road.
Eventually, Reid wanted to try and get the warrant off her record in case she got pulled over again. What she found out was that there was no warrant for her arrest. And when she contacted Box Elder County, she found out the warning she was issued by Womack was never filed. | law |

Canadians became closer to being able to make informed decisions about genetic tests without fear. Bill S-201 passed the 3rd reading in the House of Commons. The Bill still needs to go back to the Senate but all indications are that it will be supported. After several attempts by the Liberal Justice Minister to gut the Bill through amendments, it passed in its entirety. The Bill includes Pan-Canada legislation that makes it a criminal act to discriminate against a person based on their genetic test information, as well as amendments to the Canada Labour Code and amendments to the Canadian Human Rights Act. The bill passed by a free vote (in which MPs are allowed to vote according to their own personal conscience rather than according to an official party line) with an overwhelming majority of 222-60. This is a historic development, as Canada is the only G8 country without this type of legislation. | law |

They apply to all passengers departing from airports in the EU whatever their destination.
This means that, at security checkpoints, you and your hand luggage must be checked for liquids in addition to other prohibited articles. However, the new rules do not limit the liquids that you can buy at shops located beyond the point where you show your boarding pass or on-board an aircraft operated by an EU airline.
The new rules apply from 6th November 2006 at all airports in the EU and in Norway, Iceland and Switzerland until further notice.
You are only allowed to take small quantities of liquids in your hand luggage. These liquids must be in individual containers with a maximum capacity of 100 millilitres each.

The Power of Attorney or “PoA” is a legal instrument that allows you to be in two places at once. Let us assure you that we are not spinning a Harry Potteresque tale of magic and wizardry, however. For one — it takes more than a mere waive of the wand and utterance of incoherent phrase to create a Power of Attorney. In this installment of the Business Blog, we will be discussing the Florida Power of Attorney with emphasis on the upcoming changes in the Florida Power of Attorney law.
Florida Power of Attorney Purposes.
You can use a Florida Power of Attorney to appoint another person to act in your place as if that person were you. For purposes of a PoA, you are the Principal, and the person you appoint is your Agent. You can give your Agent a broad range of powers via a General Florida Power of Attorney, or only a few specific powers via a Special Florida Power of Attorney. General and Special PoAs will only be effective while you are alive and have capacity to make decisions for yourself. A Durable PoA is a PoA that contains legal language authorizing your Agent to act for you in the event of your death or incapacity. As you can see, the PoA can be extremely useful. As with all things useful, however, the PoA comes with its own set of snags.
Florida Power of Attorney Requirements.
The Florida Power of Attorney has always been subject to strict requirements. For example, just as with a will or a deed, two witnesses are required for the execution of a PoA. In certain cases, very specific language must be used to create an effective Florida Power of Attorney. Recently, in an attempt to bring the Florida Power of Attorney statute into conformity with the Uniform Power of Attorney Act, Florida lawmakers have introduced a slew of changes to the Florida Power of Attorney law. The changes are due to become effective on October 1st of 2011.
Let’s open with some good news: A Florida Power of Attorney properly executed prior to October 1st of 2011 is not subject to the new requirements and will remain effective under the old requirements. Also, the state of Florida will continue to give full faith and credit to PoAs properly executed in other states. For purposes of this article, we will limit discussion to three main affected areas: Florida Power of Attorney and notifying Third Parties, the Durable Power of Attorney or “DPoA”, and the General Power of Attorney or “GPoA”.
The new law affects the manner in which you notify third parties of changes to your PoA. Third parties are individuals and institutions, such as banks, that rely on the authority granted by your PoA. Under the new law, if you modify or terminate your PoA, you have to follow certain procedures to let these third parties know of the changes you’ve made. Notice to third parties and agents must now be in writing, and notice to banking institutions is subject to additional requirements.
A standard Durable PoA becomes effective the moment you execute it. This means that your Agent may start acting under the authority of the DPoA immediately. In the past, if you didn’t want to give your Agent all that power right away, you could have created a “springing” DPoA, a type of DPoA that becomes effective only at the time of your death or incapacity. The new law, however, expressly eliminates the springing DPoA. Fortunately, springing DPoAs created prior to October 1st of 2011 will remain valid.
Along with the springing DPoA, the new law technically eliminates the General Power of Attorney, as well. General grants of authority will no longer be effective under the new law. Instead, in order to be effective, each PoA must contain language listing the specific powers granted. The new law does provide for language that may be used to convey a series of powers, however. For example, the phrase “authority to conduct banking transactions as provided in s. 709.2208(1), F.S.” will bestow upon your Agent the authority to deal with banking institutions on your behalf: to establish or terminate accounts, contract for banking services, and withdraw or transfer funds.
That’s it for this entry of the Business Blog. We hope that you found this article informative.

Gavin Newsom has signed the first bill in the nation to crack down on fraudulent practices concerning emotional support animals, while protecting public access rights for people with legitimate service dogs such as guide dogs or service dogs for physical disabilities. The legislation, co-sponsored by Guide Dogs for the Blind (GDB) and Canine Companions, garnered a rare groundswell of bipartisan support in the California Assembly and Senate.
Assemblymember Laura Friedman (D-Glendale) introduced the bill (AB 468) in the California Assembly and was its champion throughout the process to passage. Senator Patricia Bates (R-Laguna Niguel) managed the bill in the Senate. After passing the Assembly and Senate, Gov. Newsom signed it last week, and it will go into effect on January 1, 2022.
The legislation addresses the growing online sale of fraudulent emotional support and service animal certificates by opportunists who promise consumers access for their pets equal to that of people with legitimate service animals. The new law also requires clear disclosures for selling dogs for use as emotional support animals as well as for selling tags and other services relating to them. It imposes civil penalties to combat fraud and misleading business practices, which bilk money from consumers and put innocent, untrained animals in scary and dangerous situations.
“I’m grateful to my colleagues and Gov. Newsom for supporting this measure to protect the rights of people who are blind or visually impaired and other users of legitimate service animals in their equal access to public spaces, safety, and independence,” said Assemblymember Friedman. “By ending the practice of misinformation and fraud that has occurred with the sale of emotional support animals and service dogs, we can create a safer community for all – especially people with disabilities who rely on formally trained service dogs in their daily lives.”
“It was a pleasure joining forces with Assemblymember Friedman and stakeholders to combat the fraudulent practice of misrepresenting emotional support dogs as trained service dogs,” said Senator Bates. “I co-authored AB 468 because California needs stronger laws to reduce fraud and protect the reputations of legitimate service dogs and the people they serve. AB 468 is a bipartisan victory for Californians, and I am honored to have played a role in pushing the bill across the finish line.”
“The online sales of fraudulent certificates have become increasingly dangerous for the public and for dogs alike, causing confusion about legitimate service animals and complicating the lives of legitimate service-dog handlers whose disabilities are cruelly questioned,” said Rabih Dow, director of advocacy and outreach programs for Guide Dogs for the Blind. “This law will curtail selling fraudulent tags and certificates for untrained dogs, a practice that has confused people with false promises of access for their dogs to restricted public spaces such as restaurants, stores, planes, and public buildings.”
“It has been a pleasure working with Assemblymember Friedman and our colleagues at Guide Dogs for the Blind to craft such an important bill,” said Paige Mazzoni, chief executive officer of Canine Companions. “This law will help clarify the differing public access rights for service dogs and emotional support animals, as well as protect people with disabilities from unethical business practices around selling fraudulent documentation. We are committed to protecting and ensuring access for people with disabilities and the trained service dogs on whom they rely to live independently.” | law |

All medication, whether it is over-the-counter or prescribed by your physician, must be accompanied by written orders from your physician. Parents must deliver medication to the school in a container appropriately labeled by the pharmacy or the original container for over the counter medications. Children are not permitted to carry medication to and from school unless they are permitted by their physician to self-administer medication for life-threatening illnesses. Your pharmacist can provide you with an appropriately labeled bottle for use at school. This is not only board of education policy but also the law. The New Jersey Nurse Practice Act prohibits nurses from administering medication without written orders from a physician. Any questions, please give me a call.
For further information you may reference Board policy # 5330 on the district website under BOE.
Forms for medication administration at school:
For students with asthma requiring medication in school use the asthma action plan form. For students with severe food or insect allergies requiring medication in school use the anaphylaxis action plan. For any other medication needed in school use the medical authorization form. | law |

A new conservation law enforcement program launching this fall at Northwest College will prepare students for careers as park rangers, field agents, game wardens and many other related law enforcement positions.
NWC is the fifth college in the U.S., and the only institution in Wyoming, to offer this associate of arts degree program.
“The demand for both seasonal and full-time, well-trained employees in this field throughout the region is high,” said NWC Instructor of Criminal Justice Tony Enerva. “The Bureau of Land Management, Forest Service, National Park Service and several others are increasingly seeking new recruits with a background in criminal justice and conservation law enforcement.”
Throughout the next five years, there will be more than 300 job openings in the state through Wyoming Highway Patrol, Forest Service, National Park Service, Wyoming Department of Corrections and Bureau of Land Management.
Students who enroll in the program will gain a comprehensive background in criminal justice, environmental law, backcountry survival, navigation and natural resource protection.
In addition, students will receive academic instruction from faculty with more than 50 years of combined law enforcement experience and gain access to technology that helps facilitate real-world scenarios.
“We’re one of only 12 colleges in the nation with a state-of-the-art VirTra 300 firearms simulator,” said NWC Instructor of Criminal Justice Dave Patterson. “By offering our students exposure to the highest quality simulations, we assure real-world training to help them prepare for the risks associated with law enforcement.”
The curriculum is specifically designed so students receive a strong academic background in law enforcement, which will assist those who complete the program to advance in conservation law enforcement careers.
Graduates of the conservation law enforcement program at NWC will be prepared for employment at the federal, state and local levels in Wyoming and beyond.
Program requirements for the associate of arts degree include courses such as Introduction to Conservation Law Enforcement, Environmental Law, Basic Search and Rescue, Firearms I and II, Criminal Law, Criminal Investigations, Introduction to Geographic Information Systems, Wildlife Management, Wilderness First Aid and Principles of Range Management.

When a business loan is modified to reduce or eliminate the amount owed it normally causes cancellation of debt income, which is taxable. Many times business owners are unaware of the consequences of debt cancellation until they receive a 1099-C.
If you are in this situation, you may be able to use Form 982 to exclude some or even all of the debt that has been forgiven when the debt is “qualified real property business indebtedness” (QRBI).
QRBI is money borrowed by any taxpayer in a trade or business (other than a C Corp) to acquire, construct, reconstruct or substantially improve the property and where the lender has a security interest in the property. Revenue Ruling – 2016-15 also applies this exclusion to property leased for residential purposes (unless it is or sale).
To apply for forgiveness, Form 982 is used and must be filed no later than 6 months after the due date of the return for the year where debt forgiveness occurred.
The amount of forgiveness is equal to the insolvent amount, or (debt before discharge less FMV of property before discharge), and is limited to the basis in all depreciable real property owned by the taxpayer. Basis in all retained real estate will be reduced by the debt forgiveness, and if later resold the gain will be ordinary up to the forgiveness amount.
If you, as a business owner has gone through this process and receives a 1099-C (would be after the first of the year for a debt cancellation that occurred in 2020), we can help you determine the level of insolvency. The calculated amount in that process determines the income and tax liability forgiven.
Note that a reduction in basis that occurs in this process results in higher capital gain in a later sale. (Nothing is free from the IRS).
Though we will see a lot of debt forgiveness as a result of Covid, the business debt relief process is not part of the Covid relief laws passed in 2020. Rather, this process has been around for many years and was a help to many homeowners facing foreclosure after the 2008 housing crisis. We saw a lot of 1099-C’s from homeowners for a number of years after the housing crisis and will likely see them from businesses for a number of years after Covid.

As a law enthusiast, the topic of working hours and employee rights has always fascinated me. Legality 16-hour shift UK complex important issue affects well-being workers country. In this blog post, I will delve into the laws and regulations surrounding this topic, providing useful information and insights.
The Working Time Regulations 1998 sets out the legal framework for working hours in the UK. According to these regulations, adult workers are entitled to a minimum rest period of 11 consecutive hours in each 24-hour period. Additionally, they should not work more than an average of 48 hours per week, unless they choose to opt out of this limit.
Let`s take a look at a few real-life examples to understand the impact of long working hours on workers. In a study conducted by the Trade Union Congress (TUC), it was found that 3.3 million employees UK work more 48 hours week. This includes workers in the healthcare, transport, and hospitality sectors.
Furthermore, a case study by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) revealed that long working hours can lead to fatigue, decreased productivity, and an increased risk of accidents in the workplace. This highlights the importance of enforcing laws related to working hours to protect the well-being of employees.
According to a report by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), the average weekly hours worked in the UK is 32.2 hours full-time employees. However, there are significant variations across different industries and sectors. For example, employees in the manufacturing and construction industries tend to work longer hours compared to those in administrative and support service activities.
After exploring the legal framework, case studies, and statistics, it is evident that a 16-hour shift is not in line with the Working Time Regulations in the UK. Employers have a legal responsibility to ensure that their employees` working hours comply with the law to safeguard their health and well-being.

Important Changes to Attendance Procedures for Issuing Penalty Notices for Unauthorised Absence
You may recall that the Department for Education (DfE) have introduced changes to the law regarding parents taking their children out of school during term time. It is illegal for headteachers to grant any leave of absence during term time unless in exceptional circumstances.
Penalty notices ranging from £60 to £120 can be issued to parents by the LEA.
There have been some very recent changes in the Local Authorities’ Code of Conduct
Penalty Notice for leave of absence (holiday) in term time
From 1st January 2018 any period of unauthorised leave may result in you as a parent receiving a penalty notice fine. Your head teacher will continue to be the only person able to authorise leave in term time, but this will apply only in exceptional circumstances. Any unauthorised absence will be referred by your head teacher to the local authority.
Penalty Notice for Persistent Lateness
Previously a pupil had to achieve 20 unauthorised late marks before a penalty notice warning could be issued. This has now changed to 10 marks, and late marks do not have to be one after the other in order for the penalty notice to be issued. You are therefore encouraged where possible to ensure your child attends school on time. However, if your child is late you must inform the school of the reason(s) why, as they may be able to offer you some form of advice or support.
Period of time used to measure persistent absence or lateness
If your child has had 10 days unauthorised absence or is late 10 times over a twelve week period, you may receive a penalty warning notice and also potentially a fine.
These changes have been implemented to help promote and support good attendance to school. Further details and a copy of the revised Code of Conduct for issuing Penalty Notices can be obtained from the council's website www.staffordshire.gov.uk/education.
St Giles' is obliged to follow these new procedures. It is extremely important that your child’s education programme is not disrupted by unauthorised absence. Only in exceptional circumstances can the Principal grant any leave of absence.
Thank you for your support. | law |

On November 26th, the Mapuche community Lafken Winkul Mapu in the Lake Mascardi area, located about 35 km from San Carlos de Bariloche, Province of Río Negro, was brutally repressed by the Federal Police and the coast guard, Prefectura Naval Argentina. The tragic result of the repression was the murder of 22-year-old Mapuche Rafael Nahuel. Other two Mapuches were hospitalized in the hospital of Bariloche, with live-ammunition wounds. In addition, several other acts of violence perpetrated by law enforcement bodies have been reported in the area. Among the most outrageous was the incarceration of children who where separated from their caretakers and confined in a local police station, violating the most basic human rights and the international Convention on the Rights of the Child.
These events are neither surprising nor coincidental. For some time, the National government –particularly the Ministry of Security, and with the consent of the media – has begun a process of demonization and stigmatization which has no other objective than to construct a so-called “internal other” or dangerous internal, that today is principally embodied in the Mapuche people and other indigenous groups. This stigmatizing demonization, which when carried out by the State has repressive consequences of remarkable gravity, takes place within the context of the great speculative avidity that Patagonian territories are gaining in the face of the voracious advance of neo-extractivist policies.
In Argentina there is an increasing vulnerability of democratic institutions, evidenced by repeated examples of repression exerted on the Argentinian society in general, but particularly on indigenous communities. The disappearance and subsequent death of Santiago Maldonado as well as the existence of indigenous political prisoners in different provinces in Argentina (Chubut, Neuquén, Jujuy, Formosa, among others), force us- as professionals who have been working with indigenous groups- to emphasize the seriousness of these events.
Therefore, we demand the effective enforcement of existing legislation that guarantees the rights of the indigenous peoples [provided by the Argentinian Constitution (Article 75, paragraph 17), various international agreements (Convention 169 of the International Labor Organization and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples), as well as other national, provincial and local legislation], by the authorities of the various state actors. We urge the institutions involved and the media to stop the current stigmatization and concealment process. We call on the entire academic community and society as a whole to demonstrate against these terrible events. We demand an end to the violence perpetrated against indigenous communities and a thorough investigation, trial and sentencing of those responsible.

Most homeowners are members of their Homeowner’s Association, commonly referred to as the HOA. The HOA is authorized to enforce the Covenants and Restrictions that are part of the uniform plan of development in the subdivision and many times the individual owners also have the right to enforce the Covenants and Restrictions.
These Covenants and Restrictions have the force of law among all the property owners and lay out the rules for what can and cannot be done with the property so that the subdivision retains its character. For example there may be restrictions on the type of exterior (brick or stucco, for instance) that can be used on a home or a restriction on satellite dishes or metal sheds or fences or a requirement to cut the grass or maintain landscaping or pay dues to the HOA. These rules are in place for the benefit of all the homeowners so that each homeowner can rely on the properties around them being maintained to prevent loss of value in the area.
If you are experiencing frustration because a property is not being maintained, or other activities are going on that you think are hurting the value of your property or upsetting the character of your neighborhood contact your HOA or call us to get advice on enforcing the Covenants and Restrictions in your neighborhood.

The CLA also ensures that once you have provided a contribution, you cannot try to withdraw permission for its use at a later date. People and companies can therefore use Transifex, confident that they will not be asked to stop using pieces of the code at a later date.
Being able to make a clear statement about the origins of the code is very important as Transifex is adopted by large organizations who are necessarily cautious about adopting products with unknown origins. We wish for Transifex to be used and distributed as widely as possible and in order to do this with confidence, we need to be sure about the origins and continuing existence of the code.
No. This is one of the reasons we require a CLA. No individual contributor can hold such a threat over the entire community of users. Once you make a contribution, you are saying we can use that piece of code forever.
Trivial patches like spelling fixes or missing words in the documentation won't require an agreement, since anybody could do those. However, almost anything will require a CLA.
As usual, a great deal of awesome things come by standing on the shoulders of giants. In this case it was Django. They've got an excellent CLA page, which we based our own page on.

The author of the article analyses semantics of the English idioms representing the concepts of crime and punishment. In the inner form and actual meaning of idioms, the image of crime as a violation, types of crimes, punishment as an action for misconduct, types of punishment were imprinted. Crime is projected through the prism of evidence, presence of witnesses, and recognition of guilt as the factor promoting mitigation of punishment. Punishment is associated with stopping of illegal acts, as an indicative example, a mistake in case of unfair charge; punishment can be severe (under the law, not under the law), and idioms describing “assistance to investigation” highlight three concepts at the same time: treachery (giving away accomplices), motive (own benefit) - mitigation of punishment, and help to justice. The corpus data reveal the semantic properties of idioms in contexts, the specificity of meanings that are not fixed in dictionaries, syntactic compatibility.

Every year, the Internal Revenue Service announces cost-of-living adjustments that affect contribution limits for retirement plans and various tax deduction, exclusion, exemption, and threshold amounts. Here are a few of the key adjustments for 2023.
Estate, Gift, and Generation-Skipping Transfer Tax
- The annual gift tax exclusion (and annual generation-skipping transfer tax exclusion) for 2023 is $17,000, up from $16,000 in 2022.
- The gift and estate tax basic exclusion amount (and generation-skipping transfer tax exemption) for 2023 is $12,920,000, up from $12,060,000 in 2022.
A taxpayer can generally choose to itemize certain deductions or claim a standard deduction on the federal income tax return. In 2023, the standard deduction is:
- $13,850 (up from $12,950 in 2022) for single filers or married individuals filing separate returns
- $27,700 (up from $25,900 in 2022) for married joint filers
- $20,800 (up from $19,400 in 2022) for heads of household
The additional standard deduction amount for the blind and those age 65 or older in 2023 is:
- $1,850 (up from $1,750 in 2022) for single filers and heads of household
- $1,500 (up from $1,400 in 2022) for all other filing statuses
Special rules apply for those who can be claimed as a dependent by another taxpayer.
The combined annual limit on contributions to traditional and Roth IRAs is $6,500 in 2023 (up from $6,000 in 2022), with individuals age 50 or older able to contribute an additional $1,000. The limit on contributions to a Roth IRA phases out for certain modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) ranges (see chart). For individuals who are active participants in an employer-sponsored retirement plan, the deduction for contributions to a traditional IRA also phases out for certain MAGI ranges (see chart). The limit on nondeductible contributions to a traditional IRA is not subject to phaseout based on MAGI.
Note: The 2023 phaseout range is $218,000–$228,000 (up from $204,000–$214,000 in 2022) when the individual making the IRA contribution is not covered by a workplace retirement plan but is filing jointly with a spouse who is covered. The phaseout range is $0–$10,000 when the individual is married filing separately and either spouse is covered by a workplace plan.
Employer-Sponsored Retirement Plans
- Employees who participate in 401(k), 403(b), and most 457 plans can defer up to $22,500 in compensation in 2023 (up from $20,500 in 2022); employees age 50 or older can defer up to an additional $7,500 in 2023 (up from $6,500 in 2022).
- Employees participating in a SIMPLE retirement plan can defer up to $15,500 in 2023 (up from $14,000 in 2022), and employees age 50 or older can defer up to an additional $3,500 in 2023 (up from $3,000 in 2022).
Kiddie Tax: Child’s Unearned Income
Under the kiddie tax, a child’s unearned income above $2,500 in 2023 (up from $2,300 in 2022) is taxed using the parents’ tax rates. | law |

The recall covers a wide range of booster, convertible and infant seats, including some sold as part of a stroller travel system, made by the Dorel Juvenile Group of Columbus, Ind. The action was triggered by the safety agency, which began an investigation of the restraints last year after receiving several consumer complaints that the restraining straps on the seats had loosened.
The restraints were sold under the brand names Safety 1st, Maxi-Cosi, Cosco and Eddie Bauer, said Julie Vallese, a Dorel spokeswoman, in a telephone interview. They were manufactured from May 1, 2008 to April 30, 2009. A list of the affected models can be found here. | law |

On Tuesday, Dr Guy Sutton, Director of Medical Biology Interactive, gave several lectures on the human brain, focusing on forensic psychology and the criminal mind. He discussed mental health problems and abnormal brain structure as causes of crime, which creates ethical issues and debate around the sanity of offenders and leads to the argument of whether they should be answerable for their crimes in the first place.
One of the lectures involved the area of Criminal Profiling where there is a large difference in the way Americans and Europeans approach the topic. Europe goes for a more statistical and evidenced based approach, whereas Americans tend to use behavioural analysis of the crime scene and their experience to create a criminal profile.
A History of Mental Health and the treatments that were once used was also an essential part of the day and we learned how treatment has improved and the conditions and attitudes towards mental health are also changing. There were mentions of the Nature/Nurture debate and how epigenetics has changed how we view the argument; knowing that the environment can change our genetics and our brain structure means that both have a large impact on our behaviour.
It was a very enjoyable day that caused us, as students, to think more like degree psychologists rather than AS or A level students – and to think about the bigger picture. | law |

Forensic science and technology use traces of DNA to link criminals to the crimes they commit. Oftentimes, DNA found at crime scenes is limited in both quantity and quality, but the process of PCR allows for a specific sequence of DNA to multiply within a matter of hours DNA’s GC content influences primer specificity and optimal annealing temperatures. Only a small portion of DNA is GC-rich but includes vital information like promoters, enhancers, and control elements. There were decades-old cases solved by the retesting of DNA with newer forensic technology.
DNA evidence is scarce and can be exposed to contamination from various sources. It is vital to conduct tests on DNA without any interference from outside factors; therefore, using our purest enzymes allows for tests to be conducted without the fear of contamination. Our Crystal Taq™ enzyme is free of any bacteria or animal DNA and provides accurate results.
Please reach out to us, if you would like to be a part of the pilot study for our kit designed for the testing of forensic science. | law |

An Education, Health and Care plan ("EHC plan") is a legal document which describes a child or young person's special educational needs, the support they need, and the outcomes they would like to achieve. An EHC Plan looks at all the needs that a child or young person has within education, health and care. Professionals and the child, young person and their family together consider what outcomes they would like to see for the child or young person by the end of a key stage and the plan identifies what is needed to achieve those outcomes.

Additional Support and Guidance
All education settings have a member of staff who lead on supporting children and young people with Special Educational Needs (SEN). For example, in schools this is the Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO). Some children also have involvement from a member of the Education Learning & Skills Services i.e. a specialist teacher in the communication & interaction team. You should discuss the EHC process with these members of staff before making a request.
Information, Advice and Support Services (IASS) offer free, impartial and confidential information, advice and support to disabled children and young people, and those with SEN from birth to 25, and their parents / carers. In Nottinghamshire the service is provided by Ask Us.

The latest update adds additional protections in the forms of user warnings against Android apps that collect user and device data without permission.
The announcement came by way of the Google Security blog and is designed to protect Android device owners from “unwanted and harmful mobile behaviors on Android.”
This is primarily for the more common data collection aspects like the user’s phone number and/or email address. However, the announcement also details that any data collection that is happening which is not specifically related to the purpose of the app, will also need to prompt the user advising that this is occurring.
As well as providing the user with information on what the data is being used for and/or where it is going if it is being shared. Further still, the announcement also explains that this new measure is not only to account for apps available through the Google Play Store, but any Android app.
So downloading an app from somewhere other than the Google Play Store will not circumvent this new protection level that Google is putting in place. The same rules will still apply.
During analytics and crash reportings, the list of installed packages unrelated to the app may not be transmitted from the device without prominent disclosure and affirmative consent.
As part of this expanded enforcement, Google Safe Browsing will show warnings on apps and on websites leading to apps that collect a user’s personal data without their consent.
Therefore, it is in the interest of app developers to ensure their privacy policies account for any data retention, as well as providing an active prompt (and gaining the necessary permission) as suggested under the new Safe Browsing rules.
Starting in 60 days, this expanded enforcement of Google’s Unwanted Software Policy may result in warnings shown on user devices via Google Play Protect or on webpages that lead to these apps.
Webmasters whose sites show warnings due to distribution of these apps should refer to the Search Console for guidance on remediation and resolution of the warnings. Developers whose apps show warnings should refer to guidance in the Unwanted Software Help Center. Developers can also request an app review using this article on App verification and appeals, which contains guidance applicable to apps in both Google Play and non-Play app stores.
Back in September of this year, Google announced that more than three billion devices were now protected through the use of Safe Browsing.
