...Public/federal lands’ management/ownership has been an increasing issue in politics. The “management” part of the issue is the biggest controversy. Many western states have brought forth in their state legislatures, a bill for transfering the ownership and management of the public/federal lands within their own states to their states. There are many aspects/topics within the issue of public/federal lands’ management/ownership that are brought up in arguments within politics. The topics that will be discussed in this essay include the original reason land was owned by the federal government after the Revolutionary War, what the U.S. and Wyoming Constitutions say about public/federally owned lands, what affect the “Northwest Ordinance of 1787”...

...he was two years old the family moved to another farm on Knob Creek about seven miles northeast of Hodgenville. On this farm of 230 acres (only thirty of which were tillable) Abraham lived for five years, helped his parents with chores, and learned his ABCs by attending school for a few weeks with his older sister Sarah. In December 1816 the Lincolns again moved, this time to the newly admitted state of Indiana. The tradition that the Lincolns moved because of dislike of slavery may have some truth; they belonged to a Baptist denomination that broke from the parent church on the slavery issue. However, the main reason for the move was Thomas's uncertainty of Kentucky land titles. Indiana offered secure titles surveyed under the Northwest Ordinance. The Lincolns lived in a rude, three-sided shelter on Pigeon Creek sixteen miles north of the Ohio River. There Abraham learned the use of axe and plow helping his father carve a house and farm out of the hardwood forest. The growing youth also snatched a few more months of schooling in the typical one-room schoolhouses of the frontier. In late 1817 or 1818 the Lincolns were joined by Nancy's aunt Elizabeth Hanks Sparrow and her husband, Thomas Sparrow, and Abraham's cousin Dennis Hanks. In the fall of 1818 the Sparrows and Nancy Hanks Lincoln all died of "milk sick," probably caused by...

...The Union War “Without an appreciation of why loyal citizens believed a Union that guaranteed democratic self-government was worth great sacrifice, no accurate understanding of the Civil War era was possible” (Gallagher). I agree with this statement by Gallagher because if it wasn’t for the decisions and executions of the Union I am not sure if I would be living in a democratic, free society today. In The Union War, Gallagher “offers a companion volume that extends his manifesto against hindsight, what Gallagher calls the ‘Appomattox syndrome,’ to histories of the Union” (Gallagher, 79). According to Gallagher, researchers who work backward from emancipation and Reconstruction have expanded northern devotion to race, slavery, and abolition while complicating loyal Americans’ major war aim, the Union. The above quote stated by Gary Gallagher is one of the main causes as to why the North won the Civil War because with the joining of citizens who wanted to fight for their democratic government, it gave the Union more soldiers that wanted to fight than the Confederates. They won the Civil War simply because they had more people. The North won the Civil War they were on the right side of human ethical issues. They had their best interest in helping the morals of humans and this alone helps citizens be able to trust the Union’s tendencies and this can also make a citizen loyal. The North clearly had more men to fight for them and there were more people that wanted to end slavery,...

...Robert Donnelly IS 816 Review Essay Week 6 6 February 2005 Institutions, Institutional Change and Economic Performance by Douglass C. North Cambridge University Press, 1990 1. Summary of the major arguments North begins his book by stating that “institutions are the rules of the game in a society or, more formally, are the humanly devised constraints that shape human interaction.”(3) That being said North then proposes to examine institutions, changes in them, and their impact on economic performance over time. He has divided the book into three parts. Part I is the examination of the nature of institutions and their manifestations for economic performance. From there, Part II outlines the theory of institutional change and how it explains how past behaviors influence present and future behaviors. It also explores the impact of incremental changes within institutions and its effect on the nature of path dependence. Part III is the primary objective of the North’s work. It is to understand the differential performances of various economies through time. The author is careful to make the distinction between institutions and organizations. Both are components of the structural framework that supports human interaction but they are not the same. As stated previously, institutions can be considered the rules of the game and organizations can be considered the players. The purpose of the rules is to define the way that the game is played. Organizations are groups of individuals who...

...cool, dry winter from October to March. In general, maximum summer temperatures range between 32°C and 38°C. April is the warmest month in most parts of the country. January is the coldest month, when the average temperature for most of the country is 10°C. Winds are mostly from the north and northwest in the winter, blowing gently at one to three kilometers per hour in northern and central areas and three to six kilometers per hour near the coast. From March to May, violent thunderstorms, called northwesters by local English speakers, produce winds of up to sixty kilometers per hour. During the intense storms of the early summer and late monsoon season, southerly winds of more than 160 kilometers per hour cause waves to crest as high as 6 meters in the Bay of Bengal, which brings disastrous flooding to coastal areas. Heavy rainfall is characteristic of Bangladesh. With the exception of the relatively dry western region of Rajshahi, where the annual rainfall is about 160 centimeters, most parts of the country receive at least 200 centimeters of rainfall per year (see fig. 1). Because of its location just south of the foothills of the Himalayas, where monsoon winds turn west and northwest, the region of Sylhet in northeastern Bangladesh receives the greatest average precipitation. From 1977 to 1986, annual rainfall in that region ranged between 328 and 478 centimeters per year. Average daily humidity ranged from March lows of between 45 and 71 percent to July highs of between...

...focus of this paper, the use of land regulation, namely zoning, to plan land development (Caplan, 2008). With respect to Pigovian taxes, given that land supply is relatively inelastic, these will have little effect on the mitigation of negative externalities of, for example, urban sprawl (Caplan, 2012). Further, the Coasian solution to deal with land use externalities involves deal-making between parties which, if there are no transaction costs result in the internalization of externalities. In practice, the Coasian solution is at work in tandem with zoning regulation which affects transaction costs (Staley, 1997). Because of the pervasiveness of zoning regulation throughout the United States, the following will examine two different cases of land use regulation, namely, the lack of formal zoning in Houston, Texas and private zoning in the town of Celebration, Florida. It will be shown that the effectiveness land use regulation is...

...an extremely deleterious effect on the healthy development of young people, especially. Due to the rapid increase in drug related crime and drug abusers in Asian countries, the establishment of effective countermeasures for demand and supply reduction are a pressing issue. In light of the above-mentioned situation, the United Nations Asia and Far East Institute for the Prevention of Crime and the Treatment of Offenders (UNAFEI); and the Research Division of the Research and Training Institute, Ministry of Justice jointly conducted a comprehensive study on drug abuser treatment, from 2002 to 2004, entitled “Research on the Trends in Drug Abuse and Effective Measures for the Treatment of the Drug Abusers in Asian Countries - An Analysis of Innovative Measures for the Treatment of Drug Abusers”. The Asian countries included in the study are: China (Hong Kong), Korea, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand. This is the first phase of the study on drug abuser treatment; the second phase, which begun last year, will cover Australia, Canada, the UK and the USA. UNAFEI is a United Nations regional institute, established in 1961 by agreement between the United Nations and the Government of Japan, with the aim of promoting the sound development of criminal justice systems and mutual cooperation in the world. The three main activities of UNAFEI are to hold training courses...

...NATIONAL DISASTER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM 1. Introduction. Pakistan is located in a region which is prone to number of natural disasters. Due to its diverse range of terrain and existence of fault lines, the country is susceptible to wide ranging hazards from earthquake to droughts and floods to cyclones. Pakistan has suffered floods almost every year as monsoon rains cause rivers to outflow from their banks. The country also experiences earthquake regularly ranging from moderate to severe in intensity. We have been suffering from drought like situation of varying degrees from many years and the coastal areas are prone to cyclones. There is no comprehensive, integrated disaster management policy at national level for dealing with major disasters like earthquake of 2005 and floods of 2010 and 2011 partially due to limited resources, economic instability and partially due to absence of well trained and equipped disaster management infrastructure. We also lack proper system for disaster prevention and preparedness that could ensure effective mitigation to reduce the loss of life and property damage in the face of a natural disaster. 2. Disaster management is unfortunately seen as provision of relief rather than the management of all of its phases and long term management of risk. We therefore need a comprehensive preparedness, prevention and mitigation strategy with a view to better manage and coordinate activities of various line ministries, departments and civil society. Pakistan...

...The international community has not legally admonished the United States for genocidal acts against Native Americans, yet it is clear that examples of genocidal acts and crimes against humanity are a well-cited page in U.S. history. Notorious incidents, such as the Trail of Tears, the Sand Creek Massacre, and the massacre of the Yuki of northern California are covered in depth in separate entries in this encyclopedia. More controversial, however, is whether the colonies and the United States participated in genocidal acts as an overall policy toward Native Americans. The Native-American population decrease since the arrival of Spanish explorer Christopher Columbus alone signals the toll colonization and U.S. settlement took on the native population. Scholars estimate that approximately 10 million pre-Columbian Native Americans resided in the present-day United States. That number has since fallen to approximately 2.4 million. While this population decrease cannot be attributed solely to the actions of the U.S. government, they certainly played a key role. In addition to population decrease, Native Americans have also experienced significant cultural and proprietary losses as a result of U.S. governmental actions. The total effect has posed a serious threat to the sustainability of the Native-American people and culture. Ideological Motivations Two conflicting yet equally harmful ideologies significantly influenced U.S. dealings with Native Americans. The first sprang from...

...Persuasive Paper on Edward Kienholz Edward Kienholz was born on October 23, 1927, in a small town just outside of Washington, named Fairfield. From the beginning of the youngest age examined in Edward’s life, Lawrence and Ella (the parents of Edward) were seen to have pressed a strong hierarchal supervision within the labor, and religious ordinances their household. This creating friction within the family upbringing, didn’t stop both his mother and father discipling Edward to practice the highest measure of respect towards their same protestant beliefs and practices they saw fit. Though they loved him, the strict enforced manner that dwindled overtime led to major idiosyncrasies observed in Edward’s life, captivating not only his personal actions, but also the work he presented within the art world as well. The misunderstood and twisted role Edward’s art plays amongst society, has moved far beyond June 10th, 1994, seen as the day of his passing. This appears to be just one reason he has infatuated so many individuals to study his performance today. Analyzing how his earlier life affected his art work later in life with greater depth, the passage below will dive into the make up of the man behind the controversial artwork, and the answer exactly what it is that made his instillations so shocking even today. A boisterous and intelligent child Walter Hopps gave claim to the early life biological information stated below, where Lawrence and Ella are viewed to instill an...
