Employment: Unfair Dismissal
v> In Dockerty v FM Fabrications, Dockerty claimed that he had been unfairly dismissed by his employers, FM Fabrications.

The employer felt that this was a substantial reason to dismiss her, and therefore the dismissal was justified. Upon hearing the case...

The Emancipation Proclamation
How does one free slaves in another country? How does one free slaves over which one has no control? President Abraham Lincoln attempted to do just that, when he issued the two-part Emancipation Proclamation in 1862 and 1863. Criticized by Northerners, sneered at by Southerners, the Emancipation Proclamation evidenced more than anything Lincoln's foresight and conviction that the Union would be once again be the United States of America - all states of America. The beginnings of the Emancipation Proclamation were in the Fugitive Slave Law, enacted in 1850.

The Youth, Curbing Restiveness And Violence Through Education, Entertainment And Sports
THE YOUTH, CURBING RESTIVENESS AND VIOLENCE THROUGH EDUCATION, ENTERTAINMENT AND SPORTS Youth is the period between childhood and adult age and the qualities associated with being young. Restiveness is a state of restlessness and impatience. The youth has two assets: brain and brawn. When brawn which is the physical ability is employed in negative areas, the result is violence but the former brain which is intellectual ability is mainly for meaningful pursuits. When the brain has no opportunity for expression and it combines with brawn in negativity, one can only imagine the extent of damage this will bring. Youth restiveness and violence is a reaction to the...
Fear Of Job Interviews
Your heart is beating faster than usual, your hands feel clammy, your mouth is so dry it feels like you have cotton inside – and your supposed to feel confident. Are you going to an interview or a torture session? The answer is – "it's all in your perspective." Ideally you would sit poised thumbing through a magazine, feeling relaxed as you wait your turn to have a conversation with the interviewer for the company. Think about it - what do you have to lose here? What's the worst thing that can happen? What if you don't get this job - is the world going to stop turning? I realize of course, that bills must be paid, but you are taking the wrong approach if you are going to come across as desperate...

In June 1998, during the FIFA World Cup finals, police fired...

A Background Check on Adoption and Child Trafficking
Child trafficking is considered as one of the main concerns all over the world. This is a crime under international law and in any nation's legislation. A background check on this fact shows that the issue on child trafficking has presently taken a more serious toll in the society. To sell and make profit out of a child by illegal means is a far out cry from the peace we wish to have for our own children, especially when they are not under our watchful eye. Unfortunately not all parents are like that. When faced with great financial need, there are parents who use their kids to gain money. Whether it is abandonment, one thing is positive-to sell a child is a crime. There are cases where out of...
Facts on Truman Capote

Capital Punishment In America and Controversies
Capital punishment is one of the controversial issues in America and other countries. While capital punishment is obsolete in most of the developed countries of the world, U.S. still practices death penalty in most of its states and has the support of public opinion; there are organizations and groups who are for or against it and each of them have its own justifications based on moral, religious and emotional grounds. Death penalty was reinstated in 1976 and continues to its existence in 21st century. 67% of capital conviction is overturned, seven percent of those whose sentences were overturned have been acquitted, and ten percent were re-sentenced to death. The reminder ends up with lesser...

By knowing the online child predators statistics you will understand why our children are in danger. The worst case statistic is when your child has to be included in one of them. Allow me to tell a quick story: I knew a couple that woke up one morning to find their child missing and unfortunately, later dead. Their child was found at the bottom of the swimming pool and had drowned. It was too late for them to put a fence around the pool, so it could be locked when they weren't present. What does this have to do with protecting your kids on the internet? The truth is today parents are faced with the cyberspace/online pool of predators and other dangers, and just like the original swimming pool...

The Pre-Emptive Strike For Street Self Defense
Most martial artists get it all wrong when it comes to self defense. They think they can wait for someone to attack them and deftly handle that attack by using one of the many techniques they have been taught to do at their dojo, techniques that work so well in practice but in reality will most likely not work anywhere near as well. The reason these techniques don't work is because dojo fighting and real fighting are two completely different things. The arenas are different, the participants are different and most important of all, you are different. Live situations are vastly more pressurised and dangerous affairs and they contain many more variables than one can hope to replicate in the dojo...

Crime in Brazil Is Not As Bad As the Statistics Indicate
Brazil does not have a death penalty. Brazil has a liberal juvenile justice system that seems far too lenient on youthful offenders. These factors have contributed to the high level of crime in Brazil. There is a considerable amount of freedom in Brazil. Freedom, as opposed to totalitarian police states, has its price in increased criminal opportunities for the criminal element of society. Illegal drug activity has increased in recent years in Brazil. There are gang wars, and turf battles over the drug territories, and some innocent bystanders are killed in some of the battles. Fortunately the majority of these drug related crimes are contained in the poorer sections of the largest cities in...
Are Crime Statistics Related to the Real Estate Market?
Did you know that the crime statistics of the United States are closely related to the real estate market performance? Specifically, crime has a direct mathematical relationship with the number of foreclosures in any given city in America. Indeed, out in California near Riverside County, one of the 3-worst real estate areas hit by the recession, mostly due to over expansion at the top of the market and during the bubble run-up. There was a recent article in the LA Times that indicated an FBI study which stated that for every 1% increase in foreclosures, there was a 2.8% increase in crime statistics. Quite frankly, that's just plain scary! Areas such as Phoenix, Las Vegas, Riverside County, and most...
