A comparison of engineering licensure and regulation in the United States and Canada reveal critical differences between the two countries. Nonetheless, the licensure and regulation between the two countries converge at the point where government intervention in the profession offer some level of autonomy for engineers in their duty to promote public welfare and consumer protection. It has to be noted that privileges given to engineers in Canada present tremendous responsibility to the players. Besides, state regulation and licensure in the United States gives the state the watchdog powers to oversee the operations of individual engineers and corporate entities ...

The primary objective for the formation of the European Economic Community (ECC) was to create a common market to enhance the achievement of a trading advantage over other Atlantic states. The member states hoped that the move would spur growth by promoting marketing scale and capitalizing on specialization among the member states. However, the ECC faced many technicalities when creating a common market due to lack of strategic decision-making structures and protectionist attitude adopted by members. It was especially difficult to remove barriers and enforce common trade regulation. For a common market to have some effect, freedom of capital, ...

HFC, being the first lender, is referred to as the senior lender and has priority over the collateral. Metro Bank is the second lender hence the loan is junior to that of HFC. The interest of ...

Abstract

The demise of the Soviet Union has been a major cause of controversies on the relevancy of NATO in the contemporary world. Many of these controversies are informed by a superficial understanding of its roles in light of the emergence of the US as a world superpower. Admittedly, the role of NATO has been pivotal in restoring order and tranquility in Europe and Western bloc. NATO’s military interventions in places such as Afghanistan and Syria have been crucial in restoring order in the world. With its revised rules that include global war on terrorism, and drug trafficking, it ...

Based on the case study by Bennett (2008), article VI of the Ohio Rev. Code 5502.40 Interstate Emergency Management Assistance Compact on liability of fire fighters provides that officers or employees of a party state rendering aid in cases of fire in other states are to be considered agents of the requesting state for the purposes of immunity and tortious liability (p. 38). However, acts of recklessness, willful misconduct or gross negligence are not covered for the purposes of compensation and liability. Thus, it follows that any person who is acting as a ‘freelancer’ paramedic has no connection to ...

In his March 8, 2016 article in the Washington Post, entitled “The FBI and NYPD make peace, focusing on fighting terrorism and not each other”, journalist Adam Goldsmith reports on the evolving relationship between the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the New York City Police Department (NYPD). According to Goldsmith, the relationship between the two law enforcement agencies has never been particularly friends. However, as a result of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks (9/11) in New York City, the relationship had, until recently, become particularly adversarial (Goldsmith). In the aftermath of the attacks, the NYPD established its ...

In what ways were railroads America's “first big business,” as Glenn Porter claims?

Glenn Porter claims that railroads revolutionized management, created new forms of corporate finance, altered competition practice and changed labor relations (Porter, p. 34). Railroads were first businesses that required a huge amount of money to be built. They were pioneers in the calculation of cost analysis and future demands. Moreover, they were first to practice performance analysis of employees. The impersonal bureaucratic setting of “big business” company was first incorporated in railroads. The railroad workers were first to organize themselves into labor unions. Thus, railroads introduced many practices that became the key features of big corporations. You have read ...

Business Law

Without the Supremacy Clause, there would always be overlapping and conflicting federal and state law. The Supremacy Clause ensures that federal law always preempts state law if there is a conflict. In the absence of a Supremacy Clause, there would be a floodgate of litigation regarding choice of law questions and which law applies to a particular case. In this case, Wyeth did act ethically because if a large drug-manufacturing company immediately admitted to liability every time a plaintiff sued, alleging negligence, the company would surely go bankrupt. In the face of a civil suit, the company is entitled ...

Sinkholes; Made by nature or humans?

Abstract Sinkholes seem to swallow the earth and everything sitting on the surface. Some sinkholes are small and have relatively no effect on humans or property. Some sinkholes are very large and will leave ga[ing holes in the landscape. Sometimes these large sinkholes will devour a road and cause harm to the humans who live, work, and travel where the sinkhole is located. For example, a series of sinkholes and a landslide occurred simultaneously in Harbor, Oregon. This sinkhole was a combination of nature and human activity. Many sinkholes are caused by human activity that nature decides to ...

The Compassionate Use Act was introduced in the jurisdiction of California in 1996. It contains provisions on the legalization and authorisation of the use of marijuana for medical purposes. The federal Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), however, seized the marijuana which was in possession of the respondents (Angel Reich, Diane Morson and others) on grounds that, although legalized under the laws of California, it was in a violation of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), which is part of the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970.

This paper therefore, makes an insight of the socio-economic and political achievements in the United States and the setbacks that might have been experienced within the decade.

The decade of ‘50s is often considered a period of ...

Question1

For this particular scenario, I would use several layers of security because this compound is comprised of various components or buildings each having different significance or importance. Using different security for each layer would ensure that even if intruders are able to breach through one layer, they will be incapable of breaching the other layers using the same techniques that they might have used for the previous one (Bernard, 2007). I would, therefore, invite the best security experts to ensure the particular component of security that has been used one layer is not used on the other. The corporate ...

Secondly, income tax usually has very little or no impact on relocation decisions of both the rich and the poor. Most of these people are tied by family, friends and their jobs. Statistics show a very small percentage (averagely 1.7%) of residents in the U.S moved from one state to the other between 2001 and 2010. Some of these moves were across state lines in the same metropolitan areas. Research has noted that there are numerous reasons why people migrate to long distances or fail to migrate but taxes have not had a major effect. Also when looking at the ...

The U.S. Constitution is quite explicit when it comes to the powers of government. In the document, the powers of the federal government are enumerated, or listed, and the document then states that those powers not enumerated are reserved to the states and local governments. (Chemerinsky, 1998) This provision was put in place to limit the Federal Government’s involvement in day-to-day issues. (Chemerinsky, 1998)

The Federal government, despite the intent of the framers of the constitution to separate state and federal powers, has been encroaching steadily on those powers since the constitution was ratified. (Chemerinsky, 1998) One way ...

Question 1

Jurisdiction is a term used to define the powers of a court. Personal jurisdiction refers to the power of a given court to give judgments against a particular defendant while subject-matter jurisdiction refers to the power of a court to hear and make judgments on a particular type of case (Chao and Christine, 9). Parties to a contract have considerable freedom in formulating terms of a contract. This includes resolution of disputes arising from the contract. Minimum contract law can be used to determine if a court in one state has personal jurisdiction over a defendant from another state. The relevance of the minimum contract rule is that it ...

Discussion question 1

The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) is a uniform act meant to synchronize commercial laws across the United States. The importance of this harmonization is the interstate nature of many business transactions. Without such harmonization, not only would business be hampered but also resolution of disputes arising from commercial transactions with interstate effect would be very difficult. This code is a model law and states are allowed the latitude to alter it to fit their local circumstances. It is imperative to note that the code only applies to movable property only.

The Code defines goods as all movable property when a security interest ...

Sometimes it seems that traveling over the roads can be as bumpy as traveling through the Old West in a the covered wagon. Local, city and interstate highways are worn down and need repair. Unfortunately the financial crisis and other priorities have slowed down both new and repair projects across the nation. Many of the problems with the condition of our highways are important safety issues. For example, cities have grown ouside their boundaries and are surpassing the ciruclar highways used to organize traffic in and out of places like Atlanta, Georgia. Many of the ramps cars use to enter ...

There comes a time when we feel that we know enough of a subject. It happens that knowing too much of a subject may make us feel confused, and we find ourselves unable to answer a simple question related to the subject conclusively. Speed limit and its effect on accidents is one such subject that we believe we know enough about but still find ourselves mumbling in uncertainty whether or not it is good or bad. Our common sense says that a speed limit is good. Otherwise, people will start driving at insanely high speed adding to the number of road accidents. However, it ...

For nearly ten years the Articles of the Confederation had been in effect as the first agreement among the thirteen States since their independence from Britain. After that, it became evident that a new document for dictating how the new country should be organized had to be made. It was James Madison who presented a draft for a new government structure, aimed to give more power to a federal authority. The coalition that backed this draft was formed mostly by people from the State of Virginia, so it came to be known as the Virginia Plan. The most important feature of this ...

- “Stopping Outshopping” provides a good practice model for healthcare executives, by exploring the Scarlet Hospital case. Activating as an insulated business, Scarlet Hospital never stood back in terms of providing qualitative and modern services, although it enjoyed the favorable condition of not having relevant competitors, which could have allowed the company not to strive for quality. Not being complacent is the key of longevity for Scarlet Hospital and Barr (2010) acknowledges that businesses need to change, to permanently adapt on the changing customer needs and market trends in order to remain relevant. This is the lesson that Scarlet Hospital ...

The Background of the Agency

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulates communication on television, cable, wire, radio and satellite in The District of Colombia, Unites States and its territories.

Identity theft is a fraud-related crime that primarily involves an individual accessing and at the same time misusing another person’s identifying information (Morton, 2014). In this case, the information might even include pin numbers, credit card information as well as social security numbers. This information might be accessed through illegal and unauthorized access to government and even financial institution or through identity theft. As an attorney, I would charge Gorski as an identity thief since the cards in the briefcase contain identities of other individuals.

Background of Trucking Deregulation in the US

Trucking was primarily a highly regulated industry in the United States (US), mainly because rail freight was initially preferred for transporting goods, particularly heavy materials. The Motor Carrier Act of 1935 imposed a restriction on the entry of new players in the trucking industry and the specification of certain truck routes under the administration of the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC). Yet, the emergence of antitrust laws towards the 1950s and the growing financial stability of the trucking industry led to the passage of the Reed-Bullwinkle Act. The Reed-Bullwinkle Act further oversaw the growing prosperity ...

The selection of India comes as no surprise for a number of reasons. It has an ever-changing population rate and a rich history that stipulates and rationalizes population trends. Mortality and population growth have historical underlying reasons. The point is that the Indians would incur multiple waves of incursion. Alexander the Great and Genghis Khan conquered parts of the Indian subcontinent while the British troops sent the whole region into the vassalage of English royalty. An increase in exploitation is always in inverse proportion to population growth and life expectancy. Since the region was the lucrative sources of spices, cotton, and ...
