...More views against the RH bill are pouring in. Apparently they have not been considered by the Lower House Committee before the bill was endorsed to the entire body for approval in the plenary session. Hence for the enlightenment of our legislators and the entire citizenry, presented here are some more of these views, one of them coming from a lawyer Atty. Rex A. Salvilla who clearly and ably refutes some stand of the bill’s advocates: “First, the advocates say that the opponents of RH bill are anti-poor for allowing population explosion. This is not true because the opponents, like the advocates are also for population control. Both differ only on the method of control – the advocates thru condom which cost money while the opponents thru natural family planning which costs not a single centavo but only mere discipline on the part of the spouses So, who is anti-poor? It is the advocates. Second, the advocates say that they are pro-choice. This is not also true. The draft bill contains a penal clause punishing by imprisonment and/or fine those obstructing the use of condoms and promoting family planning. Is this not like tying a person to a post and telling him, “You are free”? So, where is “pro-choice” here? In fact, the bill is a “no-choice” piece. Third, the advocates say that the Pope supports condom use. This is interpreting the Pontiff out of context. The Pope simply provided an exception in the same way that God has also provided exceptions to His own commandments. Take...

...Introduction The role of leaders in the development of human society was traditionally extremely important. It is an undeniable fact that successful leaders contributed to the general progress of society even though not all of their actions were good. Nevertheless, regardless the actions of a leader, he/she stimulates his surrounding to certain actions or even counter-actions which inevitably lead the group or the entire society to progress. At the same time, it is necessary to underline that the notion of leadership is quite large and may be applied to different spheres though, in principle, the concept of leadership remains unchanged and does not really depends on the field where it is applied. In other words, leaders are present in all fields, including not only politics, but also economy, science, technologies, culture, etc. Obviously, leadership is equally important to all spheres. This is why it is possible to speak about the significance and the role of a personality of leaders in history. Basically, this does not necessarily mean the interpretation of the role of a leader in terms of the world history, but it rather implies his/her significant to the epoch and his/her influence on the surrounding people. What is more important is the fact that leaders possess a great power to influence people, fully reveal their potential and realize their greatest dreams. This means that leaders can realize themselves but they can also stimulate other people to fully reveal their...

...An essay on Bill CLinton In this essay I will consider the social, economic and political factors of Bill CLinton. Underestimate Bill CLinton at your peril. Indispensable to homosapians today, it is yet to receive proper recognition for laying the foundations of democracy. It is an unfortunate consequence of our civilizations history that Bill CLinton is rarely given rational consideration by those most reliant on technology, who form the last great hope for our civilzation. In the light of this I will break down the issues in order to give each of them the thought that they fully deserve Social Factors While some scholars have claimed that there is no such thing as society, this is rubbish. When blues legend 'Bare Foot D' remarked 'awooooh eeee only my dawg understands me' [1] he failed to understand that if one seriously intends to 'not judge a book by its cover', then one must read a lot of books. Both tyranny and democracy are tried and questioned. Yet Bill CLinton raises the question 'why?' Nothing represents every day life better than Bill CLinton, and I mean nothing. If society has a favourite child, it is Bill CLinton. Economic Factors Derived from 'oikonomikos,' which means skilled in household management, the word economics is synonymous with Bill CLinton. We will study the Greek-Roman model. For those of you unfamiliar with this model it is derived from the Three-Amigos model but with greater emphasis on the outlying gross national product.

...BILLS OF LADING Chapter 1: Introduction The purpose of this assignment is to identify and understand the differences between the two types. Therefore, their legal definition will be presented as well as, where and how each of them should be used appropriately, in order to avoid misunderstanding between the involved parties which, unfortunately could lead them to court. Furthermore, past cases such as, “APL vs. Peer Voss and the Rafaela S”, will be mentioned in order to distinguish the difference between a seaway and a straight bill of lading. Chapter 2: Literature Review 2.1 Bills of Lading The bill of lading (B/L) is used for the transportation of goods by sea.

...After serving ten years as the Governor of Arkansas, Bill Clinton became eager to pursue his high school dream of becoming President of the United States. During his governing years, Clinton came up new strategies, ideas, and campaign methods to be used for a much larger opportunity. In 1991, he announced he would be running for the 1992 Democratic presidential nomination. Clinton believed that America’s future was in jeopardy and he had the solutions and answers to get it back on track. He began gaining popularity early from his views on the national health care system, a tax cut for the middle class, a reduction of the deficit, and a new welfare system. Clinton’s popularity is still evident today after delivering what many considered to be the best speech of the 2012 Democratic convention. Surely, Mr. Clinton must have done something right during his presidency to have the privilege of endorsing President Barack Obama at the biggest convention of the year. Bill Clinton’s presidency all started in 1992, when a large margin separated him from his rivals as the Democratic presidential nominee. He ran against George H.W. Bush who was an easy target after Bush raised taxes and led the economy near a recession. Clinton used that to his advantage and focused majority of his campaign on strengthening and rebuilding the American economy. On November 3, 1992, his campaign efforts paid off and Bill Clinton was elected the 42nd president of the United States. Clinton’s first years were...

...Analysing the Land Bill, 2015 The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 replaced the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 which was a general law relating to acquisition of land for public purposes and also for determining the amount for compensation to be made on account of such acquisition. The 2013 Act addressed the shortcomings of the previous Act by including provisions relating to just and fair compensation and rehabilitation and resettlement for the affected persons and their families. Some of the provisions incorporated under the Act are as follows: i. The definition of “Public Purpose” was restricted to the acquisition of the land for strategic purposes vital to the State and for infrastructure projects where the benefits accrue to the general public. ii. Additional benefits beyond the monetary compensation were provided to families affected adversely by involuntary displacement. iii. A mechanism for careful assessment of the economic disadvantages and the social impact arising out of displacement was discussed. iv. To ensure food security, multi-crop irrigated land had to be acquired only as a last resort measure. v. A scientific method for the calculation of the market value of the land for providing comprehensive compensation to the land owners had been devised. vi. Subsistence allowance, jobs, house, land in case of irrigation projects, transportation allowance and resettlement...

...Bill Gates 比尔盖茨 "When I was 19, I caught sight of the future and based my career on what I saw. I turned out to have been right."—Bill Gates “我19岁看到了未来，并将我的所见当作我事业的基点，结果证明我是对的。”──比尔·盖茨 He's the most famous businessman and the richest man in the world—worth an estimated $40 billion in 1997. Without a doubt, Bill Gates belongs in the same class as Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, and other great minds who changed the world. The self-described "hacker" has dominated the personal computing revolution and modernized the whole world in the process. Indeed, his classification into any other rank than this would seriously understate his impact on the world. 他是当今世上最著名的商人、最有钱的富豪──1997年他的资产预计为400亿美元。毫无疑问，他与托马斯·爱迪生、亚历山大·格雷厄姆·贝尔以及其他改变世界的伟人属于同一行列。这个自称为“黑客”的人主导着个人计算机革命，并在这一过程中使整个世界现代化。的确，将他划入任何其他行列，都可能大大淡化他对世界的影响。 Gates' success stems from his personality: an unbelievable and at times frightening blend of high-voltage brilliance, drive and competitiveness. When the chairman and CEO walks through the corridors of Microsoft, it is like a switch being turned on; everything and everyone around him is charged with 10,000 volts of electricity. Gates sets the example and Microsoft employees follow. The schedule he keeps is one hint as to what he expects from his employees. It's not unusual for the "dean" of the "Microsoft campus" to put in 16-hour days. 盖茨的成功源自他的人格：他才华横溢、冲劲十足、争强好胜，这些加在一起令人难以置信，有时甚至令人畏惧。当这位董事长兼首席执行官走过微软大楼的走廊时，他身边的人和物就像被打开了电源，充了一万伏电。盖茨树立了榜样，微软的员工紧随其后。他的工作安排暗示着他对员工的期待。这位“微软校园”的“校长”经常每天工作16小时。 ...

...How a Healthcare Bill Caused A Government Shutdown What to do about the rapid rise of healthcare costs has become a contentiously argued subject by the United States two major political parties. The finale of this debate sees us two weeks into a government shut down with a small but determined faction of ideologue republicans threatening to default on our nations debt unless President Obama scraps the biggest piece of legislation he’s gotten passed into law since his election in 2008, a healthcare bill, commonly referred to as Obamacare. The president, on the other hand, is saying he won’t pay a ransom to Congress in order for them to reopen the federal government. He’s making his case against his opponents in congress by siting his reelection as vindication that Americans overwhelmingly want this legislation to move forward. The two sides are using an overwhelming amount of social media to air their views and ideology to the American public. While the Republicans spread doubt and fear about the bill, the democrats, conversely, overselling the probable effectiveness of Obamacare. With all this information swirling around the national discussion it is difficult to know exactly what’s true about the bill and what isn’t. Perhaps the most important consequence of this political battle is that currently 500,000 government workers are out of work and not being paid while this shut down plays itself out. This furlough is not only hurting those workers and their families but also proving...

...long as these two things do not happen the gremlin stays sweet almost sacred furry animal. A concept is the emergence myths. These myths have people that travel through worlds until they emerge into one. A person could keep traveling until they become perfect and can continue the work of other Gods (Enotes, 2013). A person in this particular time could be a man that is successful in our world today, such as Bill Gates. A person as successful as Bill Gates is an icon and to some Godly for representing such things that are in the future.

...Bill Gates's rise Microsoft's big break came in the early 1980s, when IBM developed its personal computer (PC). IBM approached Gates about developing an operating system for the PC. Gates licensed the rights to a rudimentary system called Q-DOS, modified it, renamed it Microsoft DOS (MS-DOS), then sold it to IBM. Gates shrewdly convinced IBM to divulge the proprietary elements of its PC, paving the way for the production of hundreds of IBM-clones. This created an eager market for MS-DOS, which helped Microsoft build its present fortune. Gates ranks as the second richest person in the United States and among the top twenty richest people in the world. His net worth in 1995 was estimated at more than $10 billion, up from $6.7 billion in 1993 (Elmer-Dewitt 1995; Caminiti 1993). Gates became a billionaire at 31, making him the youngest American to achieve that status. Gates owns about 30 percent of Microsoft and claims that 90 percent of his net worth is in the company--he owns more than 140 million shares (Elmer-Dewitt 1995; Brandt 19940. Much has been written about Gates's multi-million dollar, three-acre estate that he is building in suburban Seattle, complete with 25-foot vaulted ceilings, underground parking, and an elaborate conference room. Gates defends this extravagance by pointing to the estate's simultaneous function as a technology showcase and a meeting place for Microsoft. Gates has been characterized as a workaholic. He is a hands-on executive who is intimately involved...
