...During the incident involving Josey Wales of Outlaw Surveys, the surveyor was commissioned to undertake a real property report (RPR) survey in an urban neighbourhood. During initial research by the surveyor, the original survey was found to have been in 1935, and the last prior RPR was known to be in 1963. Upon field inspection, it was found that two block corners could not be located, in which case the surveyor and his crew reestablished them using adjacent block corners. Under the Alberta Surveys Act, Part 1, Section 45 (5), it was not required to monument block corners on a subdivision survey between 1912 and 1988. Instead, there is a frontage measurement proportionate to the total distance between the corners of the block in the same ratio as it is shown on the registered plan, which is the total distance between the block corners. Being that the last survey was done before 1988, block corners are needed to govern. It is stated that the surveyor did not find original survey evidence at two block corners that needed to be established for the RPR, so his crew used adjacent block corners to re-establish them. Alberta Surveys Act, Part 1, Section 46(1) states that the survey method used to re-establish the lost corner should be included on the plan of survey, in which case it was. The surveyor must also re-establish a monument using the best available evidence at the position of the monument. This evidence will guide them in re-establishing the monument. The surveyor was found...

...Issues 1. Robin Hood faces a problem about the developing of Merrymen’s band. It seems that Robin Hood couldn’t well-managed the rising group because he is lack of familiarity with new members. 2. Robin Hood is careless for recruiting people. It’s dangerous for Merrymen’s band if some spies are recruited in the group. 3. Supplies for the troop are another problem of rising band. New troops need more foods, camping size and money. 4. The Sheriff troops are getting stronger and better organized. 5. The Merrymen troops are lack of discipline; they spend more time on talking and playing games besides raiding. Recommendations 1. Robin Hood should limit the recruiting of new members. He should focus on quality of the troop, not the quantity. 2. Robin Hood should choose his trusted sub-leaders to help him manage the Merrymen well. He cannot train all Merrymen members by himself. 3. Besides raiding, the Merrymen troops need to enforce in discipline.

...Zakharov Ilya Essay The issue: Children have no responsibility towards their parents when they grow old. Children are never asked to be born and parents can`t expect their help. Nowadays many people think that children who have just come of age have the tendency to lose their contacts with parents. And as a result parents can`t expect help from their children. However, let`s consider the facts. It is believed that the duty of the children towards their parents consists of respect, obedience, care (especially when old people cannot take care of themselves). These duties are determined by the history, different traditions and religion. And apparently the main duty is to love your parents. This one goes without mentioning. With the rising cost of living sometimes parents have to ask children for help and support. And in this case there is the moral obligation of the children to look after them. Even if some people are not in the position to support parents financially, there are many other ways in which it is possible to give a hand. But one should, nevertheless, consider the problem from another angle. There is an argument against making it legal to force children help their parents. One must admit that, because of complicated emotional problems between parents and children, enforcing by law is not the solution. Another argument is that children were not given birth to become caretakers, because some parents may go for having more kids just for profit. And this is not love...

...Although the imminent success in the last few years,some issues have brought the company down. The pending issues that are troubling the company are the employees conditions abroad, the buying of reebok and it's sales drop last year 2012. In the website oxfam, which analyses the conditions of workers abroad, it is stated:" we asked Adidas to implement worker's rights in Indonesia". (Oxfam 1). The complaints relate to the the ongoing problems of not matching wages with the rising prices of food and supporting work abroad.
