...Jeep, people would not continue to purchase them. Jeeps have been the backbone of America since they were first made. Jeeps have evolved in so many ways from the past to the present and are continuing to evolve into the future. The Cj’s series started back in the 40s, but the one Jeep covered in this paper will be the Cj-7. The Cj-7 came about in 1976 and roughly 379,000 were produced. This was the start of the Jeep that the public could actually use because it had better drivability and more space. The Cj-7 was just like the Cj-5 except the Cj-7 was extended to give more space. The drivability was improved by the addition of anti-swat bars. Another addition to the Cj-7 was a steering stabilizer allowing the Jeep to have a less probability to go into the death wobble. The death wobble is where the front tires whip back and forth making the driver lose control. Another option was the Quadra-Trac, which was an automatic four-wheel drive system. With this type of four-wheel drive system, it allowed for an automatic transmission. This was another way the Cj-7 was made to be more of a civilian vehicle. There were many different types of packages that the Cj-7 came in. The 3 packages were the Renegade, Laredo, and Golden Eagle. The packages included different options including chrome packages, different four-wheel drive systems, and different engines. There were even options of locking differentials and a winch. The engines offered was the 232 inline six and the 304 V8...

...Marie Foraker Best Vehicle for surviving a zombie crisis Jeanette Burghardt September 21, 2012 The Jeep Wrangler is the best vehicle for surviving a zombie attack because the Wrangler can go off road and the vehicle is small. The Jeep Wrangler is easy for zombie swerving and getting around cars on the roads. The Jeep Wrangler is also cheap, fun to drive and go-anywhere capability. This vehicle would be the perfect car for a zombie crisis. The Jeep Wrangler is the best car because this vehicle can go off road. Which means that this car can go through forest, rocks, snow mountains, mud and fields. Having this advantage makes it easy so to zombie swerving on the roads. The jeep Wrangler can go 70 to 75 miles per hour on the road but the disadvantage to this vehicle is taking this car off the road can only do a speed of 40 to 45 miles per hour. This car can seat about 5 people so means if there are any survivors I can take them. The Wrangler can be custom built. People can buy front-end bars to go cross the front, make the ground clearance higher and bigger tires for ground clearance. In conclusion the Jeep Wrangler is the best vehicle for surviving a zombie attack because the Wrangler can go off road and this vehicle is small. The Jeep is also fin to drive, cheap and has an any-where capability. This vehicle would be the perfect vehicle for the zombie attack. This car can be custom built, people can buy certain things for the...

...Well here is the story of a few jeeps... In the short time between school, homework, and Target, my free time is most enjoyed off-road in my Jeep. Chandler, Clayton, and the bass pond will keep me occupied for years to come. As long as I have a Jeep I will continue my quest to explore more trails such as The Rubicon, or Moab. The first Jeep I purchased was a 1986 Cherokee Laredo. At the time the four-wheel drive didn’t work and I didn’t care much. Weeks later I could be found cutting through the occasional field or going through a little mud. I soon learned the need for four wheel drive after a few scary situations last summer. It was about 1 A.M. and I was driving in a ditch with slippery grass from morning dew. In the ditch there was a tall grassy hill that I was thinking about driving up. With a little encouragement from my friend, I charged up the hill and as I reached the crest, my tires started slipping, as did obscenities. We slowly descended backwards down the hill, because the brakes weren’t doing their job. The pace picked up, and fear and uncertainty were riding shotgun as we turned 90 degrees on the hill. I thought a roll was inevitable as we were sliding sideways, so I hit the throttle and we slid around and then the Jeep were facing the bottom of the hill. A few weeks later I got the four wheel drive working, and since then I’ve put my passengers through more fear and fun. Ignorance and adrenalin had got me high centered in the cold raining boonies, up to my...

...Hick Day A slight drizzle was falling from the sky as my huge knobby tires slingshot baseball size chunks of mud over twenty feet in the air. It was now October and the day I had been waiting for a long time had finally arrived; it was hick day. This is the one day out of the year I get to show my true colors to the school, because I am only one out of a handful of real hicks at Bob Jones High School. Now, because of my four past accidents that were all linked directly to mud riding, I had sworn to my parents that I would never put my Jeep Wrangler back in the mud. However, what would just one last time hurt? “This was it”, I told myself, “this is the final time I will go off-road in my Jeep and after this I will fully respect what my father and mother worked so hard to get me.” My near death wreck that almost took four of my friends lives and my life in the blink of an eye completely turned my life around, I now cherish and respect everything that I am granted. To begin with it was 7:30 in the morning and I had just finished making my rounds picking up all my friends for school. My buddy Caleb and I were in the front and we had been planning this day for months. He and I went all out dressing up for hick day. We both wore full camouflage attires from head to toe. I even had on my enormously thick camo hunting boots; they were so thick I could not even feel the gas or brake pedal through them. In the rear of my Jeep were three girls all crammed together in that tiny, two...

...Experimental Research investigation: Theory, heat causes metal to return to its original shape. Test subject: A 1970 Jeep CJ5 (civilian Jeep) series that has a dent in the right rear side panel. I have conducted experimental research on the properties of metal to determine the best process to use to remove the dent and return the metal to its pre accident appearance, safety, and functionality. Type of informal research conducted: Cause and effect (metallurgical reactions using heat versus cold straightening). To conduct our research I started by collecting data on the type of metal used to form the side panel of the Jeep CJ5 . Through research we found that the metal was “common carbon steel” which originally was “stamped” by the manufacturer. Through our research we found that the carbon steel used in 1970 had a low percentage of carbon which allows the metal to be malleable and easy to manipulate. We started our experiment on a test subject piece of flat carbon steel which mimicked the properties of our subject CJ5. To change the shape of the test subject metal we introduced harm to the metal by hammering the surface. This form of experimental manipulation allowed us to produce a test subject that was chemically similar to our controlled subject. First, we used heat on the test metal to soften it. This type of manipulation is called Annealing and causes the molecules in the metal to change form therefore changing the properties of the metal. The effect of our experiment...

...actual or apparent authority.[8] This may have harsh outcomes for the outsider who may suffer significant loss (e.g. cases of loan transactions). Therefore, outsiders are always in risky position because of uncertainty of the agent’s authority to enter the contract and unawareness of company’s internal irregularities. On the other hand, if the contract would be binding to the company, the shareholders, who have not authorised the agent to enter into that contract, may also suffer detrimental consequences of binding transaction (e.g. secured loan transactions).[9] Depending on the circumstances, the both parties may turn up as innocent victims of unauthorised actions of the agent, in terms that they acted or relied in good faith. Mason CJ in Northside emphasised the need of balance between protection of outsiders in promotion of business convenience...

...Checkpoint: Drug Use and Delinquency Response Christina Whitaker CJS/240 August 8, 2013 Kathy Holder In all honesty I feel that with adolescents they may try drugs just in order to experiment and to see what it’s like or they were most likely pressured into giving it a try by member of their peers. Drug use that’s among adolescents behavior will most likely start before the start of drugs and/or alcohol. According to the studies some professionals believe that adolescents who are basically involved with illicit drugs are simply separating themselves from normality of society in order to try to make a statement. Then there other professionals who believes that the juveniles who participate/experiment with certain drugs other than the use of alcohol and tobacco will most likely allow themselves to fall into a negative environment. Studies shows that adolescents will give all kinds of various reasons on to why they decided to turn to drugs such as: 1. My friends made me do it; 2. I just wanted to feel good; 3. All I wanted to do is to fit in and 4. Just want to try to escape the problems that I’m having. So basically these are just a few of the excuses that adolescents will give in order to try the various drugs. (Titus, Godley, and White, 2006) Also, an adolescent may use drugs as a result or a sign of lacked parental guidance, a strong secure family bond, supervision or let alone the physical, psychological and substance abuse that’s been happening within the adolescent’s...

...HOLLOW AVOWALS OF HUMAN RIGHTS PROTECTION – TIME FOR AN AUSTRALIAN FEDERAL BILL OF RIGHTS? JULIE CASSIDY* Unlike the constitutions of many nations, such as the United States of America and the Republic of South Africa, the constitutions of the Australian States and Territories and the Commonwealth Constitution Act 1901 (UK) contain no bill of rights. Australia is the only western democracy without a federal bill of rights. The debate regarding the need for a bill of rights necessitates an understanding of what human rights the people of Australia already enjoy. If sufficient protection can be found in existing sources, does Australia really need a federal bill of rights? Opponents of a bill of rights state that we have sufficient protection from arbitrary government intervention in our personal affairs and thus a bill of rights is unnecessary. There are a number of potential sources of human rights in Australia that might provide the suggested existing protection, including the common law, specific domestic legislation, international law and constitutional law. Each of these sources of human rights has, however, important limitations. The focus of this article is on the inadequacy of the Australian constitutions as a source of purported protection. This in turn suggests that an alternative source of rights is needed – a federal bill of rights? In the course of this analysis the author makes suggestions for reform; specifically how a federal bill of rights may address the paucity...

...QUESTION: In ASIC v Healey [2011] FCA 717 at [14] Middleton J stated: A director is an essential component of corporate governance. Each director is placed at the apex of the structure of director and management of a company. The higher the office held by a person, the greater the responsibility that falls on him or her. The role of a director is significant as their actions may have a profound effect on the community, and not just shareholders, employees and creditors. Under the Corporations Act 2001 anyone who is over 18 and not disqualified can be a director. Is it appropriate that there be no qualifications for directors? Should there be different requirements for directors of proprietary companies and directors of public companies? ANSWER Sections 201B(1) and 201B(2) of the Corporations Act 2001 stipulate that directors must satisfy a minimum age requirement of 18 years and are ineligible for appointment if they are disqualified from managing corporations. This qualifies a large proportion of the Australian population. Nonetheless, it is appropriate that there be no qualifications for directors; the corporate form should be available to everyone. The onerous obligations imposed on directors set a high benchmark for Australian directorship. To require positive qualifications would disqualify many competent directors. Qualifications would be inappropriate in many business contexts because the skills required of directors are specific to the corporation. Directors can...

...Bombay High Court 1 1862 - 2012 A Journey of 150 Years through some Memorable Judgments Part 1 2 PREFACE A tiny kernel of an idea planted by Justice Mridula Bhatkar took root, and has resulted in a humble effort to present before you a compendium of the crux of some of the judgments of the Judges who have served the Bombay High Court since its inception in 1862.1 The initial idea was to document one judgment of the First Court from each year which was modified to include a judgment of the Bombay High Court of each year. I soon realized that it was too expansive an idea to merit a single judgment a year. I could collect and collate, as many as ten judgments which would qualify to show the development of the law we desired to portray. Having found too vast a number of such judgments, I had to settle at a more reasonable figure of about five judgments each year to showcase the progress this Court has made from its illustrious beginnings. Our Chief Justice Mohit Shah and our Justice Chandrachud wholeheartedly supported the idea to complement the Book published on this the sesquicentennial of our Court. As the number of Judges grew, fewer judgments of each Judge would be selected as illustrations. These judgments are not the only path-finding groundbreaking ones; they are also ones with simplicity and legal elegance. The number of judgments we settled upon just would not permit all deserving judgments to be compiled; only a few have been picked from each year as the first in...

...DEFENCES TO DEFAMATION: FAIR REPORT, CONSENT, APOLOGY * WHAT IS DEFAMATION? Defamation is a false accusation of an offense or a malicious misrepresentation of someone's words or actions. A man’s reputation is his property, more valuable than any other property. The existing law for defamation is a reasonable restriction on the fundamental right of speech and expression conferred by article 19(1) (a) of the Indian Constitution and is saved by cl (2) of art 19. The wrong of defamation may be either committed by way of writing i.e. Libel or by way of speech i.e. Slander. There may be forms of Defamation that do not fall under Libel or Slander. A defamatory statement is a statement calculated to expose a person to hatred, contempt or ridicule, or to injure him in his trade, business, profession, calling or office, or to cause him to be shunned or avoided in society. A libel is a publication of a false and defamatory statement tending to injure the reputation of another person without lawful justification or excuse. The statement must be expressed in some permanent form. E.g. - Writing, printing, statues, pictures etc. A slander is a false and defamatory statement by spoken words or gestures tending to injure the reputation of another. * DEFENCES I. APOLOGY Apology is one of the defences to defamation. This defence is provided by the Libel Act, 1843 and the Defamation Act 1952. The Libel Act 1843 enacts, “ In an action for a libel contained in any public newspaper...
