...Running head: Presidential Appointment 1 Presidential Appointment Janet Overby ITT Presidential Appointment 2 Abstract The following paper will research former President Bush’s presidential judicial appointments. I will include my interpretation of various judicial appointments made by him as well as why I think he made the appointments. Presidential Appointment 3 Presidential Appointment The judicial appointments of former president George W. Bush suggests that his motivation for appointing nontraditional judges was driven more by ideology and strategy than concerns for diversity. All of the federal judicial appointments over Bush’s two terms of presidency show that overall the federal courts did not gain in the number of minority judges during his tenure; however, he did make a number of diverse appointments, especially with Hispanics. By looking at what appeared to be replacement patterns, Bush did actually appoint several minorities. In order to have any type of gain in diversity, more seats would have to be replaced with diverse judges than what it was actually started with, because if not, it would not be equivalent to a diverse bench. I think that ideology played a huge role in Bush’s appointments over diversity. To support my opinion, research states that Bush appointed more men – 78% - than women – 22%. He also appointed more whites – a whopping 82% - than minorities...

...show up or be on time can diminish the efficiency of which a task is completed. Being at your appointed place of duty on time is important because your leadership is held accountable for you and your absence. It is important for me to be where I am suppose to because it not only shows that I'm dependable but it allows my leader to keep track of his soldiers. Promptness shows that a solider is dependable. I am writing this essay because I managed to miss a physical therapy scheduled appointment. Making an appointment is the same as guaranteeing you will be somewhere at the agreed time. It seemed rather minor until I did some research. What I found out was that he recent rate of no-show appointments in military treatment facilities (MTFs) are at an average of 5.78 percent, and they have reached as high as 9.01 percent. When a patient misses an appointment without canceling, that patient also keeps another patient from using that appointment slot. No shows affect soldiers readiness. Medical appointments allows providers to...

...Appointment of Governors: Implication for Federalism The very fundamental structure of Federalism is based upon the pillars of division of power between the Centre and the States. Dr. B. R. Ambedkar most aptly weaved the concept of federalism by stating that the basic principle of federalism is that the legislative and executive authority is partitioned between the Centre and the State not by any law to be made by the Centre but by the Constitution itself. The States in our constitution are in no way dependant on the centre for their legislative authority. The Centre and the State are co-equal in this matter. It needs to be specified that “only the spirit of ‘cooperative federalism’ can preserve the fine balance between the Union and the States and promote the good of the people and not an attitude of dominance or superiority. Under our constitutional system, no single entity can proclaim superiority. Sovereignty does not lie in any one institution or any one wing of the government. The power of governance is distributed in several organs and institutions, a sine quo non for good governance.”1 However scholars like Gledhill and Jennings held that federalism in India is a cover designed to conceal its Unitarianism: “India has only a facade of federalism without the substance of federalism”.2 It is the role of the governors as the central agent that tilts the federal balance in favour of the Union, thus providing validity to these assertions. The office of the Governor plays...

...Appointment of company secretary in company, Section 187(1) Appointment of secretary People that are sole directors cannot be secretary and these people must be registered under section 201 of the said Act. This law seems to be applicable all over Abott, Pendlebury and Wardman (2004), quotes of S.283 which states that every company must have secretary, but a sole director cannot also be the secretary. It is usual for the secretary to be appointed by the directors on such terms as they think fit. The directors may also remove the secretary. The rules relate to the appointment include the following: the secretary to get appointment should have already holds office as secretary, assistant secretary or deputy secretary of the company; or for at least three out of the five years immediately preceding his appointment held office as secretary of a public company; or is a barrister, advocate or solicitor; or is a member of any of the following bodies: the Institute of Chartered Accountants; the Association of Certified Accountants; the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators; the Chartered Institute of Cost and Management Accountants; the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy; or is a person who, by virtue of having held any other position or being a member of any other body, appear to the directors to be capable of discharging the functions of secretary.

...CHAPTER 9- THE CONCLUSION Lately, The Attorney General said that the NJAC does not impede with the sovereignty of judiciary or encroach upon the basic structure of the Constitution. "Appointment of judges is just a trifling part of independence of judiciary but the major part comes into function after the appointment. Also, independence of judiciary should not be taken in comparison with the transfer of judges. There are many pillars of judicial independence and it is a far cry that every element of independence is equated with basic structure," AG contended. The AG claimed that there was no connection between appointment of judges with the basic structure of Constitution and Parliament had the power to take decisions on the process to...

The supervisor was familiar with the consumer, who is new to Canada, and knew that there was often a need for repetition to make sure everything is clear and comprehended. Unfortunately, for reasons I could not be privy to, the consumer and her family refused to have a DI present. Throughout the appointment, my supervisor checked in with the consumer to make sure she understood questions, and to make sure my supervisor herself was understanding the responses correctly. Occasionally, the consumer would answer in a way that made it seem like she was not understanding my supervisor, which would then lead to more clarification. The...

...has only happened once in history back in 1796 to Samuel Chase. Justices are appointed by the president then approved by the senate. Lifetime appointment was established in 1789 and there have been 112 justices since then. The purpose of lifetime appointment is for justices not to worry about their court rulings getting them thrown out of office. However just like anything else this system comes with pros and cons. To begin with as a person ages, their mental capacity may begin to dwindle, impacting decision making and their ability to comprehend what is going on entirely. One of the current Justices, Ruth Bader Ginsburg was born in 1933, making her 84 years old. She may be...

...Follow-up Appointments Just like any other outpatient procedure, breast augmentation surgery should not be just getting the surgery, recovery instructions and just sent home. Most surgeons see their patients the day after surgery, where they check for hematoma which is the localized accumulation of blood outside of the blood vessels. To prevent hematoma in certain cases, patients are fitted with special tubes for draining; however, more modern techniques have virtually eliminated the need for drainage tubes after the breast augmentation surgery. Signs of irritations are also checked for during follow-up appointments because this can be an indication of an infection or some other complication. To minimize the risk of infection, antibiotics...

...Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare and “Appointment with Love” by S.I. Kishor have similar ideas that are both associated with society expectations. Romeo and Juliet is about two lovers who cant be together because of a feud going on between their families. Next, “Appointment with Love” is about a Lieutenant who goes off the war, but leaves behind an unknown admirer who he hasn’t met. At the end of the story they finally meet, but there is a twist and a test of John’s love. One similarity between “Appointment with Love” and Romeo and Juliet is that one of the themes is love versus society’s expectations.
