...1. Anwar and Leah are concerned about protecting the funds in their estate after it is passed to their children. They have tried to structure their wills in as optimal a manner as possible, but their advisor has told them that once the children receive the funds, it is up to the children to take certain steps in order to protect the funds into the future. Explain some of the steps that their children (i.e. not Anwar or Leah) could do to help protect their inheritances. 5 MARKS (5 marks) Anwar and Leah, in order to protect the funds in your estate after it is passed onto your children David, Amal and Lisa. There are many steps we can take. However, it is not always possible to protect assets from claims by a former spouse or partner, especially since we are in a society where the statistics show that 50% of all marriages will end with a divorce. There are a few precautions your children can take to protect their inheritances. In David's instance since he is currently the only one married and without a marriage contract, if he wants all inheritances to remain exempt from his current spouse, he would need to discuss with his wife about setting up a marriage contract. This could be a difficult conversation to have and may put a strain on the relationship between David and his wife. She would have to agree on setting up a marriage contract and agree to the terms of being excluded from his inheritances from his parents. A marriage contract is a legal document that discloses all...

...“Domain Tasting” The practice of “Domain Tasting” began in 2003 when the ICANN implemented a policy giving a five day grace period also known as add grace period (AGP) for new domain registrations. The five day grace period was meant to allow registrants to correct any issues that may have had with their domain names and then cancel and re-reregister with corrections. Domain tasting is when a company registers a domain name and loads the page with advertisements; these advertisements would generate money for clicks. They do this to test the “Marketability” of the domain name. If the web page was unpopular or did not produce as expected then the registration is cancelled within the five day grace period. If the registration was cancelled then the company did not have to pay for the domain name. This allowed companies to submit as many domain names as they wanted until they found one that was marketable. The use of “domain tasting” had a few negative effects on web users. One of the effects is that it weakened confidence of consumers in the domain marketing system. Domain tasting also populated the internet with many useless web sites that were full of useless information and advertisements. Another problem that arose from domain tasting was that the domain names that were found to be popular or marketable were sold back to consumers at inflated prices. In 2009, the ICANN implemented a policy that significantly decreased “domain tasting”...

...interoffice memorandum to: | Shep Howard, President of SGP | from: | Betty Fuller, Head of Marketing | subject: | Resolving Intellectual Property Rights | date: | September 6, 2015 | cc: | tatiana dunklin | | | SHORT ANSWER During my research I quickly noticed that although SGP owned Safepac.com, the name SafePac, itself had never been registered with the Trademark and Patent Office. Accordingly, one of the first things Ms. Fuller did was start the registration process. When searching the USPTO office database to see if a mark has already been filed she found the several things that did not look so good as it directed its responsibilities to fall onto our company as the at fault individuals. FACTS a. SGP has been using the product name SafePac since 2008 but never trademarked or otherwise registered that named. A company called Safe Choice had registered the names SafePack and SafePacs back in 2002 and those names were listed live marks by the USPTO. Arguably, SafePac may be confusingly similar to Safe Choices marks to preclude registration of the marks. Moreover, use of the name may “constitutes a false designation of origin which is likely to confuse customers as to the source of the goods”. However, safe Choice and SGP are in different product lines and, therefore, arguably are not competitors, a requirement for infringement. The intellectual property issue at hand involves the Lanham Act. b. The USPTO finds that SGP’s proposed mark and Safe...

The website is a key marketing tool for any company. 2. HTML is a markup language for presentation of Web pages. It determines the look and location of text, pictures, animations, and other elements on a Web page. 3. XML is a markup language for delivery of information about data communicated through Web pages. It is used to convey the meaning or content of the data. 4. Each Web page has its own URL, which contains the IP address or domain name of the site. Because the domain name must be unique, when an owner of a Web site reserves a domain name to be associated with an IP address, no other site can be associated with that domain name. 5. File Transfer Protocol 6. Instant messaging is real-time chat. It is used to form synchronized email, chat rooms and allows customers to chat with sales or support reps. Many online retailers post a special button on their Web pages that lets shoppers establish real-time communication with a sales representative.

...I. Introduction The Copyright Law Copyright is the exclusive right, to an intellectual property of any person, including elements of authorship, musical, literary, architectural, pictorial, choreographic, pantomimic, graphic, sculptural, and cartographic creations to print, publish or sell copies of his or her original work. Copyright is a law that protects published and unpublished work that you can see, hear and touch, from being reproduced without prior consent from the creator of the work. The copyright law was designed to strike a balance between the needs of consumers and those of creators. The issue is a control over piracy. Piracy has not disappeared, nor, by many measures, has it lessened. However, the success or failure of this act depends entirely on who you talk to. The debate is most often cast as a consumer issue, so both sides are looking for your (the consumer’s) ears. Strong arguments exist from either perspective, but both sides agree there have been unintended consequences to the provisions of the Copyright law. II. What is a Copyright? A Copyright is a form of protection provided by the laws of the United States (title 17, U.S. Code) to the authors of original works including literary works, movies, musical works, sound recordings, paintings, photographs, software, live performances, and television or sound broadcasts. This protection is available to both published and unpublished works. The Copyright Act generally gives the owner of copyright the...

...Question 12 Page 170 On July 5, 1884, four sailors were cast away from their ship in a storm 1,600 miles from the Cape of Good Hope. Their lifeboat contained neither water nor much food. On the 20th day of their ordeal, Dudley and Stevens, without the assistance or agreement of Brooks, cut the throat of the fourth sailor, a 17- or 18-year-old boy. They had not eaten since day 12. Water had been available only occasionally. At the time of the death, the men were probably about 1,000 miles from land. Prior to his death, the boy was lying helplessly in the bottom of the boat. The three surviving sailors ate the boy’s remains for four days, at which point they were rescued by a passing boat. They were in a seriously weakened condition. a. Were Dudley and Stevens guilty of murder? Explain. b. Should Brooks have been charged with a crime for eating the boy’s flesh? Explain. See The Queen v. Dudley and Stephens, 14 Queen’s Bench Division 273 (1884). a. “The facts found on the special verdict shew that the prisoners were not guilty of murder, at the time when they killed Parker but killed him under the pressure of necessity. Necessity will excuse an act which would otherwise be a crime.”(justiceharvard) After reading this I believe that they did what they had to do in order to survive. They said the boy was weak and wouldn’t have made it anyway. They will have to live with the decision they made but they got to live because of it. b. No, he used it as a means to survive...

...plan combination of the Network infrastructure for Myrtle & Associates and Belleview Law Group. The current network at Myrtle & Associates consists of three servers, a domain controller, a file server, and an application server. They also have a wireless network for their paralegals, and attorneys. This will allow them to access the network from their laptops and from their smartphones. Belleview Law has a legacy network that needs some upgrading. Their network consists of four servers, a Novell directory server, a file server and two legacy management servers. There is no wireless serves for their paralegals and attorneys. My plan is to bring the two networks together in a way that will save money and provide a more efficient way to access information on the network. As it stands there are two problems that need to be addressed. The first issue is that Belleview’s network has a Novell Directory server whereas Myrtle & Associates has a domain controller. The other issue is Belleview’s network has two legacy management servers. These two issues will make migrating data a little challenging. The new network will be a bus star topology. This will help with redundancy and it will have a wireless access point. My first plan will be to transfer the Novell directory server data to the Windows domain controller. I will then combine the two file servers. Lastly I will add a management server that will eliminate the two legacy servers. Thanks Tyree Hawkins...

...EE 390 communication laboratory equipment available in the lab, particularly the Agilent 54621A digital oscilloscope. In this lab, electrical signals were measured using the oscilloscope in both time domain and frequency domain. Two electrical signals were displayed- a 1 kHz, 2.78VPP as well as a 2 kHz, 278mVPP. In this lab, methods of improving measurement accuracy, dealing with floor noise and averaging were all explored. Overall this lab was a useful tool in understanding the lab equipment. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: PART 1 - QUESTION 1 i) A 1 kHz, 2.78 VPP sinusoid wave is displayed with trigger level at 200 mV (rising edge). See Fig.1 Fig.1: Time Domain Representation of Signal Power dissipated in the load: P_load=〖V_rms〗^2/R , where V_rms=V_amp/√2 and V_amp=V_PP/2 So, V_amp=(2.78 "V" )/2=1.39 "V" and V_rms=(1.39 "V" )/√2=0.9829 "V" Hence, P_load=((〖0.9829 "V" )〗^2)/(50 "Ω" )=19.32 "mW" ii) When we set the triggering level to 1.5V, the resulting signal displayed is an unstable one. The reason for this is because the trigger level must be on the rising or falling edge. iii) A 1 kHz, 2.78 VPP sinusoid wave is displayed and the accuracy of the measurement is calculated. The volts/division is equal to 500 mV. See Fig.2 Fig.2: Accuracy of Time Domain Representation of Signal error = 2% Vfs , where Vfs= (number of spaces) x (volts/division) So, Vfs = 8 x 500 mV = 4 V Hence, error = 2% x 4 V = 80 mV Thus, Accuracy = 2.78±0.08VPP iv) The embedded...

Lancaster then used its power to emenent domain to condemn the 99 Cents property for the purpose of making city contrasted 99 Cents property for the purpose of making it available to Costco. the city noted that blight might follow if Costco left, and the city contrasted 99Cents' under $40,000 per year in sales taxes generated with costco's more then $400,000. 99 Cents then sued the city seeking an order blocking the effort to take the 99 Cents property Eminent domain allows states the right to take over private property, at fair market value, for public use. Due the declining economy of Lancaster, I would rule in favor of the state to take over 99 Cent Only Stores Property thereby allowing Costco to move in. The additional sales tax generated by allowing Costco to take over the property of 99 Cent Only Store would allow Lancaster to continue independently as a productive county.

...which is the most popular form of protection in use today. It is the easiest and most popular form of protecting ones website as it involves three items that have to be considered like ownership, notice and registration. You can’t use the work or image of someone else to create your own which is the same, as you cannot use another’s copyrighted work. This is as the copyright owner has rights not only for his work but also on any derivative works, which is created, based on the original work. The implications of copyright law is that it tis the legal use of the owner of a website that his website images aren’t copied or used by anyone else. Some components of copyright law include financial incentive, fair use of the website, the public domain, advances in technology and of course register copyright.
