...ownership to the states, what the “Study on Management of Public Lands in Wyoming” found, and how the “1971 Free Roaming Horses and Burros Act” plays a part in the financial and political aspects of the transfer. The majority of this essay will refer to what the “Study on Management of Public Lands in Wyoming” refers to as “public lands:” “Traditionally and legally, public lands refer to only those federally owned lands managed by the BLM. In 2008, BLM administered lands were officially designated as the “National System of Public Lands.” Federal lands administered by the USFS are a part of the “National Forest System.” The term “public land” is frequently used, however, to refer to all federal owned lands generally available for use by the public such as National Parks, National Forests, BLM lands, Wildlife Refuges, etc. while not necessarily referring to federally owned land utilized for more strictly governmental purposes such as national defense or post offices. This report uses the term public land in the more general sense to refer to land owned by the federal government on behalf of the people of the United States regardless of its manner of acquisition or the agency that manages them. Of Wyoming’s approximately 62 million acres, over 30 million acres or about 48%, are federally owned and administered. The federal public lands included in this study total about 25 million acres. Approximately 5.4 million acres have been excluded from this study and include the approximately...

Bazlur Rashid, Ph.D. 1. Professor, Department of Social works, University of Rajshahi, Bangladesh 2. University of Rajshahi, Bangladesh ABSTRACT: Environmental refugees are one of the most burning issues at this time throughout the world. Bangladesh, a riverine country, is suffering from acquit riverbank erosion which compels millions of her population to be displaced from their place of origin. As such, 283 locations, 85 towns and growth centers, along with 2400 kilometers of riverbank line in Bangladesh are vulnerable to erosion. The major rivers e.g., the Padma, the Jamuna, and the Meghna, erode several thousand hectares of floodplain making thousands of people landless and homeless every year. Along with the floodplain, Bangladesh loses several kilometers of roads, railways, and flood-control embankments annually. No other disaster is as disastrous as riverbank erosion and ‘Internally Displaced Populations’ (IDP) face many unavoidable problems at different stages of displacement. Displacement marginalized them in respect of livelihood patterns and psycho-physical troubles. Such forty million homeless people in Bangladesh are compelled to lead a floating life. Riverbank erosion plays a major role in socio-environmental changes. The displaced people of riverbank erosion experience substantial...

...Casey Anthony Case Dixit and Gothwal (2015) define criminal law as a rule that control the social conduct and prohibits the acts that are harmful to the people and as such, threatening the safety and the welfare of societal members. Morse (2015) contends that criminal laws define the punishment levelled on the people who break the prescribed societal conduct while Holland (2015) asserts that criminal laws refer to the state laws, which make certain actions illegal and punishable by fines or imprisonment. Accordingly, the case of Casey Anthony falls under the criminal and as such, the forensic evidence gathered from the trunk of her car makes her criminally reliable, as the said evidence is admissible in the court of law. The forensic experts from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) examined a band of hair recovered from her vehicle, which exposed evidence of apparent decomposition. Forensic analysis of the recovered band of hair showed consistence with the band of hair of the deceased. The FBI experts who conducted forensic analysis on the band of hair told the court that the sample had many consistencies in relation to the post-mortem banding. Moreover, microscopic hair examination specialist told the jurors that the root portion of the air was dark and, therefore, consistent with the evidence presented by the FBI. The analyzed evidence showed that the hair was evicted forcibly from the deceased. Further, an investigator of the crime scene testified that that there...

...Prospects and chaleenges of land development policy in Bangladesh (MD. IBRAHIM KHOLILULLAH, DEPT OF AG.FINANCE, BAU MOB: 01718996557) Introduction Land is the father of wealth and labour is her mother. Land as wealth is scarce, finite, productive and decisive in determining individual’s economic status, social standing and political strength and in determining key to economic development as social justice. All these are more so true in an agrarian economy like Bangladesh. The importance of land and the concern for its uses associated with the ownership are built into people’s needs and aspirations Besides land there are also inland flood plains, streams, lakes, ponds, beel, haor-baor and other areas from very large to small that are partially or fully covered with water either seasonally or permanently in greater or lesser degree. Important characteristic of land is its immobility. A parcel of land remains where it is; it is the basis for establishing ownership. The great importance of land in determining human person’s economic and cultural progress is attributable largely to the diversification, relative scarcity, and localization of its resources. Arable farm land and the most useful minerals, especially, are not distributed evenly over the earth’s surface but are highly localized. A policy is a specific plan or settled course adopted and followed by a government, a group, an institution, or an individual to achieve desired ends. Land policies may be considered as major lines...

...Contributions Solidifying Your Client's Asset Protection Strategy: Multiple Entities in Multiple Jurisdictions by Richard Kahler, CFP®, CCIM, and Richard K. Colman, J.D. Executive Summary * It is important for financial planners to understand the basics of asset protection. Asset protection is a shield against unscrupulous lawsuits—not a way to hide from legitimate obligations. * The history of asset protection through the legal system, including trusts, corporations, and insurance, goes back to ancient times. * Recent U.S. and state statutes have significantly expanded options for asset protection. * The three rules of asset protection are (1) do not own significant assets in your own name, (2) use multiple entities to own your assets, and (3) keep assets and the entities that hold your assets in different or in multiple jurisdictions. * The first line of defense, which is limited, includes statutory protection and insurance. * The second line of defense is owning separate assets through multiple entities, including trusts, corporations, partnerships, limited liability corporations and partnerships, foreign grantor trusts, and domestic asset protection trusts. * The third line of defense is locating those entities in multiple jurisdictions. * A hypothetical client situation is used to illustrate specific methods of applying this knowledge. * In the future, informed planners will be those who understand their professional responsibility to help...

...founding of the United States of America. Many different battles were foraged, taxes and laws imposed that contributed to the Patriots wanting freedom from the control of Great Britain. The effects of war along with culture and ethnicity affected many during this time in many different ways due to their position or status during this fight. Abigail and John Adams are important known historical figures from the American Revolution. Abigail and John communicated through letters widely documented and used for the study of the war. The American Revolution affected this couple in many ways individually and as a married couple. John was a member of the Continental Congress, a select group to lobby for American independence. Being a part of this group required John to be away from his homestead while Abigail stayed behind to provide local support of the war and care for their home. Long or short time periods of distance in a relationship can bring many complications and in some cases a greater appreciation of the other. Abigail took on the responsibilities caring for the farm, educating children while dealing with reduced income, lack of goods due to the war and overall difficult living conditions and being alone. In letters between them, Abigail pleads for John to remember the rights of women in negations for independence, not to put too much power into the hands on men. Abigail also touches on the passion women have and their ability to take a stand if they are not represented. John responds...

...Assignment No: 01 University of Dhaka Module: Principles of Management (4204) Question-1: Identify Taylor's four principles of scientific management. Answer: The Four Principles of Scientific Management is a monograph (A specialist work of writing on a single subject or an aspect of a subject, usually by a single author) published by Frederick Winslow Taylor in 1911. This influential monograph, which laid out the principles of scientific management, is a seminal text of modern organization and decision theory and has motivated administrators and students of managerial technique. Taylor was an American manufacturing manager, mechanical engineer, and then a management consultant in his later years. He is often called "The Father of Scientific Management". His approach is also often referred to as Taylor's Four Principles, or Taylorism. Taylor argued that the principal object of management should be to secure the maximum prosperity for the employer, coupled with the maximum prosperity for each employee. He argued that the most important object of both the employee and the management should be the training and development of each individual in the establishment, so that he can do the highest class of work for which his natural abilities fit him. Taylor demonstrated that maximum prosperity can exist only as the result of maximum productivity, both for the shop and individual, and rebuked the idea that the fundamental interests of employees...

...contributing factors in the way that they live their everyday lives while they are young adults. Its always said that young men act out is because they never had a father figure, but what about the young men who had fathers inside the home and still have trouble in their young adult years. I need to ask a few random adolescent’s from a pool that have a bad history and from a pool that has no record. (between 100-200) within the age ranges of 11 through 18. This should give me a really good spectrum of how it will affect their daily lives if it even affects it at all. We know that mothers and fathers have two totally different impacts on a child’s life but just how different are they. I am investigating this problem because to my understanding every time something occurs in a young man’s life that is not okay in the public eye, the first thing that is said is “He act like that cause he don’t or didn’t have a father figure in his life.” After all yes I do think that having someone in your life that you can look up to do change the way we view things and how we approach daily struggles what choices can benefit them or which ones wont. There are previous studies that have been conducted on this certain topic some have been incomplete and inconclusive due to the sampling differences (Wells & Rankin, 1991), some have found that after longitudinal studies, they do show correlation between lo parental supervision and delinquency (Loeber & Stouthamer-Loeber, 1986; Anderson, Holmes...

...Andrzej Faron Patricia Lambert DATE \@ "MMMM d, y" November 20, 2015 History 106 The Great Depression The Great Depression was a world wide economic depression that occurred amid the 1930s. The timing of the Great Depression was different throughout other countries,yet in many nations it began in 1929 and endured until the late 1930s. It was the longest, most profound, and one of the worst economic depression of the twentieth century. Overall GDP fell by 15% from 1929 to 1932. In the 21st century, the Great Depression is usually seen as an illustration of how far the world's economy can decay. The depression started in the United States, after a fall in stock costs that started around September 4, 1929, and got to be overall news with the stock market crash of October 29, 1929 . The Great Depression had bad impacts in nations both rich and poor. Individual pay, taxes, benefits and costs dropped, while foreign exchange dove by more than 50%. Unemployment in the U.S. rose to 25% and in few nations ascended as high as 33%. Urban areas all around the globe were hit hard, particularly those subject to heavy industry. Development was for all intents and purposes stopped in numerous nations. Urban groups and country zones struggled as yield costs fell by around 60%. As jobs became hard to find, areas dependent on primary sector industries such as mining and logging suffered the most. The start of The Great Depression. Historians more often than not say that...

...by President Obama. These laws were the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Affordability Reconciliation Act, collectively known as the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The ACA represents the largest changes to health care since the creation of Medicare and Medicaid programs 45 years prior. It is expected to allow more than 32 million Americans to finally afford health insurance. In the same year that the ACA was passed into law, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) wrote a report entitled The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health. The report was designed to show that nursing could help lead the future to a better health care system. A system that will meet the changing and challenging demands that will be realized with the implementation of the ACA. By virtue of their regular, close proximity to patients and their scientific understanding of care processes across the continuum of care, nurses have a considerable opportunity to act as full partners with other health professionals and to lead in the improvement and redesign of the health care system and its practice environment (Committee on the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Initiative on the Future of Nursing, at the Institute of Medicine [RWJF], 2010, Chapter 1-2). Because nurses have such a close, direct, and trusted effect on patient care, it stands to reason the IOM would produce such a study. Nurses already posses’ skills and attributes that make them a valuable partner...

...Paper-Case study: Michael Novak: Capitalism and the Corporation Course ID: MGT7019-8-4 BY Allen L. Ray North Central University Dr. George Kalidonis Assignment #4 | | | | | | | | | | Introduction Modern businesses are facing major challenges if they plan on meeting that sensitive balance between business demands and customer satisfaction. The problem that exists is how to use the current guidelines in place that will provide a better business market without totally corrupting the fabric of moral integrity. While the concerning objective for most businesses is to make money, it is a delicate balance to do so without causing too much of an uproar within the economic structure. The problem to be investigated is where the beginning of industrialism starts and where capitalism ends and what factors should be addressed to ensure that the business industries do not yield totally under the invisible existing economic pressures. This paper will examine Michael Novak’s outlook concerning capitalism and the corporation and take an even closer look on what, if any, pressures will take place in shaping the modern business corporation. More so, this paper will attempt to answer the questions provided in the reading to help interpret basic concepts between capitalism and corporations. How long has the corporation existed? Business corporations have existed for many centuries and over an even longer period of time. By definition, a corporation is an...

...Case study: Michael Novak: Capitalism and the corporation The problem investigated is the growth of corporations and capitalism to the extent that they become unavoidably inseparable in order to maintain a cohesive, civil society. Corporations have been with humanity since the beginning of organized government. Capitalism can be loosely defined as the economic freedom to allow for the building of wealth, both individually and corporately. In order to provide for that freedom, governments must be in one accord with corporations to that end. Adam Smith’s writings tell us in the course of history that countries may finally become a “Nation of Commerce” as part of a natural progression. He further suggests an individual’s economy is inevitably woven into the fabric of society and that fabric should be allowed to grow without the interference of politics, which we can fairly judge as governments of all kinds (Smith, 1776). To this point, both Smith and Novak concur that, “sources of private capital and private wealth, independent of the state, are crucial to the survival of liberty”. (Novak, 1997, p. 32) The American corporation faces the responsibility of creating a social good beyond the four reasons given by Michael Novak. First, it creates jobs. Second, it provides desirable goods and services. Third, through its profits it creates wealth that did not exist before. Fourth, it is a private social instrument, independent of the state, for the moral and material support of other...

...REFORMING THE AGRARIAN REFORM PROGRAM A SCORE LATER, WHAT IS THE REAL SCORE? Rolando T. Bello UPLBFI Science and Technology Professorial Chair Holder Introduction On June 10, 1988, President Corazon C. Aquino enacted into law Republic Act 6657, “An Act Instituting the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program to Promote Social Justice and Industrialization, Providing the Mechanisms for its Implementation, and for Other Purposes.” The signing into law was attended with the President’s optimism that the program could achieve the twin goals of having a radical leap in agricultural productivity and the uplifting of the Filipino masses from their ancient poverty while expressing the hope that it will end all the acrimony and misgivings of the contending parties as well as uniting the nation behind the effort to make agrarian reform a success. The enactment of the law twenty years ago was the apparent embodiment of the then just ratified 1987 Philippine Constitution which declared as a policy of the State the promotion of a comprehensive rural development and agrarian reform. In addition, the fundamental law mandates the State to promote industrialization and full employment based on sound agricultural development and agrarian reform. These Charter provisions and the passing of the law set forth the claim that agrarian reform in the Philippines is inimitable considering the challenges of redistributive reform to be carried out under a democratic milieu. The ratification...
