Metadata has become a huge issue in 2015 and topic to much legal debate. It is described as ‘data about data’ in simple terms but has many other complex definitions. The Data Retention Act, more formally known as the Telecommunications amendment Act 2015 was passed in parliament on March 26th 2015 and received royal accent on April 13th 2015. In Australia, the need to strengthen national security has resulted in the introduction of new ‘metadata’ storage law. This new law means that both security and policing agencies will be allowed to access up to two years of individuals metadata, to supposedly make it easier to stop any terrorist attacks and serious crimes from happening. There has been many debates in Australia about...

...al-Samad has stated the SHARIA law violates the religious clauses of the First Amendment of the Constitution, or more specifically the free exercise and establishment clauses. al-Samad points this out because the law bans the usage of Sharia law in its application in forming federal laws and federal court precedents. As for how the SHARIA law violates the establishment clause of the U.S. Constitution one simply look no further than the third prong of the Lemon Test, which says a law passed under state or federal power should not create excessive government entanglement. Under the proposed definition of the this law, one would have to define what Sharia, is but my sharia’s definition, it is merely “a path to water” or a starting point and therefore would be different for each individual Muslim depending on their own interpretation and many other factors, rather than its counterpart in the Arabic language “fiqh” which is considered set in stone, but since it is decided by man, it may be filled in numerous errors and subject to change....

Supreme Court exerted its authority to review the Virginia court's judgment and held that Supremacy Clause declares that the Federal...

...Debate Summary Amanda Missick, Karla Castillo, Kimberly Archuleta, and Kimberly Arzate BCOM 275 April 2, 2015 John Kungis Debate Summary Throughout the debate we chose to discuss the Chris Kyle murder case where Eddie Routh was convicted for the brutal murder of Chris Kyle, former Navy Seal, and his comrade Chad Littlefield. As the debate summary we decided to go with the pro side of the argument, which includes; Eddie Routh's history of mental disorders, how he fled the scene, and the sentence given to him for his murder charge. Not only did this topic make us have different opinions amongst each other, but made us open our minds to different views. Even though as a team we had our disagreements and different believes on the topic, we came together for the final decision of the debate. We believed that the murder trial of Chris Kyle was justly sentenced. Even though Eddie was facing a low point in his life we believe his alcohol abuse, violent behavior and strange conduct were contributing factors that led to his mental state. Living in a city with one of the biggest military bases in the country, we all in different ways are related to military personnel. Some of us personally know veterans with PTSD. It was discussed during our meetings that it normally takes more than a shooting range to trigger someone to relive those experiences that only veterans have experienced. We are devastated that this incident turned out the way it did, ending the life of not only the...

..."Kianna's Law" is a bill that was brought to Congress in 2005, by Senator Sam Brownback, KS. Kianna was a victim of cancer where it metastasized before she was accepted into a clinical trial to treat her disease. She wanted to try the experimental drugs, although they weren't approved by the FDA. "Kianna's Law" would have required the FDA to provide access to Phase 1 and Phase 2 drugs for patients suffering from life threatening conditions. I would support Kiana's Law because terminally ill patient's deserve every fighting chance that is out there. Even if the drug did not work and had severe side effects, they are willing to take that risk because they know they are dying. I do not see the harm in the patients wanting to try drugs that have...

...In the months leading up to each presidential election, the issue of voter ID tends to arise in every social class of US citizen. From a small town council to the US Supreme Court, the pros and cons of voter ID are heatedly debated. Attorney General Alan Wilson said, “The rule requiring photo identification is a logical step in a country that requires photo ID for everything from cashing checks to buying cold medicine: Shouldn’t there be a basic protection for the integrity of the voting process”(qtd. in Dean.) Most states at the moment require only a spoken name to be eligible to vote. This results in abuses which harm the election process. The US government should implement voter ID laws in order to protect voter integrity and ensure accurate...

I can see a time in my life living in a small town called Hastings Michigan when I was forced to do something that I would have never imagined doing. I was there my entire life and my parents were going to, with such short notice tell me we were moving to Minnesota. I loved where I Lived, I loved my friends and family being so close, sports, everything where I currently was had enough to offer for me. When they told me this I felt like everything I ever cared for was being taken away from me and that things were falling apart right before my eyes. There were many clues that my parents had said weeks and months prior to the news but I was so caught up in my own little world, too young and immature to even have noticed them. They would ask me little questions all the time like how would I feel about being far away from home? Do I like the Vikings? All kinds of questions relating to Minnesota but I never even thought more about them, I thought they were just questions. I was put in a situation to say goodbye to all the people who ever helped me make it as far as I was at the time. Friends, family, teachers, coaches everybody. I was so confused...

...DISPLAY BOARD ABSTRACT Cockroaches are a constant threat to humans; they spread diseases and are unsanitary. This cockroach problem is commonly addressed through the use of toxic pesticides, but the unfortunate truth is that these pesticides can also be harmful to humans and the environment. The researchers conducted a study to create a toxic-free cockroach killer using Eucalyptus Oil and Chili Peppers as ingredients. The researchers determined the most effective concentration of ingredients by performing a Preliminary Test. From the test they discovered that the concentration with the higher amount of Eucalyptus oil is most effective in killing cockroaches. They proceeded to conduct further experiments to compare the Formulated Cockroach Killer from a known Commercial Pesticide. 5 trials were performed, 10 cockroaches were tested with the Commercial Pesticide and another 10 for the Formulated Cockroach Killer. The Commercial Pesticide killed a higher quantity of cockroaches than the Formulated one. Data were collected and a T-test was performed. The T-test proved that the difference is statistically significant. Although the Commercial Pesticide was more effective, the Formulated Cockroach Killer was still able to kill cockroaches without the use of Toxic ingredients. Background Of The Study Cockroaches have adapted to survive in many environments. Once cockroaches invade your home, they can expose you to several kinds of diseases. The use of toxic pesticides to manage pest...

...that most of the time guns are used on people to create a crime, other than protection. Maybe the best idea to keep this problem from going on is make gun laws stricter make it to where you need to pass a test to register for a gun, or maybe better yet stop supplying so many guns at one time. Gun laws are something every country needs in order to keep stable economy, because selling guns to easily will help the american citizens commit crimes that could ruin many people lives. About 96 lives are lost per year just from shootings that occur from buying guns easily or illegally that can be stopped because the government can make the process more difficult and crack down on the dark part of the internet where you can also order guns illegally without having to go through the little process the U.S. has of now. On average about 220 million guns are purchased every year because the easy process that has been...
