...BObven when they go snorkeling, the Duggars preserve their modesty. The stars of TLC's "19 Kids and Counting" are famous not only for having so many children but also for their strict religious beliefs. That's why they went swimming fully clothed while snorkeling during a trip to Puerto Rico in Tuesday night's episode. As Michelle explained to People magazine, "Bathing suits are pretty and colorful, but it's not our thinking that it is OK to be naked some places and not other places." [Related: Michelle Duggar Raves About Her 46th Birthday Haircut] "The eyes are the windows to the soul. And we are trying to keep our hearts pure, which is a struggle," she continued. "Everyone has their idea of what is modest, but for our family, we try to avoid situations ... like the public beach or swimming pools that can make it a challenge to keep our minds pure." This isn't the first time they've swum in Wholesome Wear swimsuits, though the family generally avoids swimming in public. And the Duggars make sure to stay covered up for whatever activity they're doing -- whether it's swimming, riding horses, or climbing. Their modest dress code has the family's boys wearing long shorts and the girls wearing long skirts. [Related: The Duggars Enjoy a Japanese Meal in Tokyo] "This isn't for everyone, and we don't push this on anybody," Michelle explained in TLC's Parentables blog. "And we don't judge anyone that doesn't have this perspective, but for us, we felt like we needed to be covered...

...Introduction to Law and Jurisdiction Lawanda Kendrick June 6, 2016 Grantham University Situation 1: Mike, a Utah resident, sues Jim, a Nevada resident for $60,000 in Nevada's Federal Distract court for negligence (a state law civil suit). Jim argues that the case should be dismissed for a lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Is he right? This situation would fall under diversity of citizenship being that Mike lives in Utah and Jim lives in Nevada. Diversity of citizenship is the basis for federal court jurisdiction over a law suit between citizens of different states and countries. Mike is suing Jim for $60,000 but the amount in controversy in diversity cases must be at least $75,000. So, yes, Jim is right for arguing that the case should be dismissed for a lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Situation 2: Bill, a California resident, sues Bob, also a California resident, for copyright infringement, a cause of action arising under federal law, in a Federal District Court in California. Bob argues that there is no subject matter jurisdiction. Is he right? In this case, Bob is wrong because copyright infringement is under the jurisdiction of the Federal courts. Under 28 U.S. Code § 1338 (a) the district courts shall have original jurisdiction of any civil action arising under any Act of Congress relating to patents, plant variety protection, copyrights and trademarks (LII, para.1). Situation 3: Billy, a Seattle, Washington resident, sues the Orange Corporation, a Texas...

...developed for distributing project information, Jim began working on the project scope statement, workbook, and baseline project plan. He first drafted the project scope statement and posted it on the project’s intranet (see PE Figure 4-1). Once posted on the intranet, he sent a short e-mail message to all team members requesting feedback. Minutes after sending the e-mail, Jim’s office phone rang. “Jim, it’s Sally. I just looked over the scope statement and have a few comments.” “Great,” replied Jim, “it’s just a draft. What do you think?” “Well, I think that we need to explain more about how the system will work and why we think this new system will more than pay for itself.” “Those are good suggestions; I am sure many others will also want to know that information. However, the scope statement is a pretty high-level document and doesn’t get into too much detail. Basically, its purpose is to just formally announce the project, providing a very high-level description as well as briefly listing the objectives, key assumptions, and stakeholders. The other documents that I am working on, the workbook and the baseline project plan, are intended to provide more details on specific deliverables, costs, benefits, and so on. So, anyway, that type of more detailed information will be coming next.” “Oh, OK, that makes sense. I have never been on a project like this, so this is all new to me,” said Sally. “Don’t worry,” replied Jim, “getting that kind of feedback from you...

...Bob Marley’s Early Years: From Nine Miles To London Nesta Robert Marley was born on February 6, 1945, in Nine Miles, a district in St. Ann’s Parish on the north end of Jamaica. He spent his early childhood with his mother, Cedella Marley, sharing a tiny shack made of corrugated metal and wood in the mountainous countryside. “He was my first-born and very precious to the family and friends,” Cedella reported in Jim Henke’s essential sourcebook, Marley Legend: An Illustrated Life of Bob Marley. “He was always a jolly, happy little man. He loved to make friends, loved to play. I never had no trouble with him going to school and things like that. He was very obedient.” Bob spent little time around his father, Captain Norval Marley, a white Jamaican who supervised land for the British government and essentially abandoned the family soon after his son was born. Bob once said of his mixed heritage: “I don’t have prejudice against meself. My father was a white and my mother was black. Them call me half-caste or whatever. Me don’t dip on nobody’s side. Me don’t dip on the black man’s side nor the white man’s side. Me dip on God’s side, the one who create me and cause me to come from black and white.” In grade school, Bob loved to sing. “I don’t really know how I got started,” Marley remembered in 1975, “but I know me mother was a singer. Me mother is spiritual, like a gospel singer. She writes songs. I hear her singing first and then I just love music, love it, grow with it.” A cousin...

My hope is that you will be able to do this in about two years,” explained Robert Linderman, president of Linderman Industries, Inc. to Carl Conway had been hired especially for this assignment because of his experience in managing large defense projects in the aerospace industry. “ The first thing that I will have to do is put a project team together,” said Conway. : I imagine that you have in mind my drawing people from the functional divisions.” “Yes, I have already sent memoranda to the division managers informing them that you will be asking for some of their key people to work under you for about two years,” said Linderman. “In addition, I have advised them to be prepared to process work orders from Operation Mexicano with the personnel and equipment of their organizations.

...I agree with Bob Herbert that Jim Crow Policing should stop. It’s just wrong to discriminate against someone because of what race they are. Just because they are a certain color doesn't mean they did something wrong. Police officers are supposed to help and support people not harass and arrest people for no reason. I think that it's just wrong that they can do that and not get in trouble for what they did. Then they argue that it “helps fight crime (Herbert 13)”. But I don't believe them. I believe that it causes even more crimes. While police officers are wasting their time accusing innocent people of doing something wrong. It gives criminals more time to commit a crime and get away with it. And that makes me really sick. They are the people that are supposed to help us not hurt us. Over the years the amount of bad and good cops has been roughly the same. I believe that there will always be bad cops as long as...
