...American Samoa Government Final Research Paper May 11, 2012 Doctor Si’ulagi Solomona Judicial Branch Page 1 of 10 Where the Executive and Legislature branches are elected by the people, members of the Judicial Branch are appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. Article III of the Constitution, which establishes the Judicial Branch, leaves Congress significant discretion to determine the shape and structure of the federal judiciary. Even the number of Supreme Court Justices is left to Congress – at times there have been as few as six, while the current number (nine, with one Chief Justice and eight Associate Justices) has only been in place since 1869. The Constitution also grants Congress the power to establish courts inferior to the Supreme Court, and to that end Congress has established the United States district courts, which try most federal cases, and 13 United States courts of appeals, which review appealed district court cases. [ https://www.whitehouse.gov/our-government/judicial-branch ] The Judiciary explains and applies the laws. This branch does this by hearing and eventually making decisions on various legal cases. The Judicial Branch is in charge of the court system. There are three different kinds of courts found in the federal court system. The lowest level is the district courts. The 2nd level is the court of appeals. The top level is the Supreme Court. Did you know: 1. The Supreme Court was set up by the Constitution. 2. The Supreme...

...Four: This seems awful. What do humans do about this problem? John Cena: The United States, which is the country we are in now, is a democratic society. So we vote on the issues we have. We have three branches or departments of government. The three branches are the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branch. Bills, or proposals, are first passed by the legislative , then the President, or Executive Branch, can approve or veto it. If the president approves it then the Judicial Branch either approves it or vetoes it, also. But if he vetoes it then the bill gets sent back to the Legislative Branch for revision. Same thing happens if the Judicial Branch vetoes the bill. One: Is there sub-groups in the branches? John Cena: The Legislative Branch...

...The government has seven basic principles too run the place but in my opinion the most important are Legislative Branch, Executive Branch, and Judicial Branch. The Legislative Branch is the congress were they can do many things for example they can carry out laws. Also the Executive branch is represented by the president where he can carry out laws and many other things too help the country. The last one is the judicial law It helps Interpret laws and other things. These are some of the government branches i will be talking about and will explain how seperating power between them all is good. One of the first branches was the Legislative branch which is the congress, every branch has a certain amount of power they can use and the congress has some important ones for example the most important is that they can pass on laws. Another ability is that the congress can declare war this is important because the president is commander of the armed forces so that means he’ll have to much power so this evens out the power between them. This means that since the president is the commander of the armed forces so too even out the power only the congress can start war against someone. The president can also make treaties with other countries so the congress has the power to impeach and remove presidents and other high officials just in case they don’t follow the rules. This explains that just in case the...

...branches. For example, the producer is just like the legislative branch. The legislative branch creates laws and chooses what they will be about, and has the executive branch enforce it. And a producer can choose the songs and their meaning and have the artist sing it to the public. The judicial branch is very similar to a manager because a manager can choose if what the artist sings is appropriate for their image. In a like manner, the judicial branch can do constitutional review, and if it passes then the law is created. The Producer (Legislative Branch) can propose the idea and sound of a song (Law) to the Artist (Executive) If the Artist doesn't like the song, they can refuse to record the song. But if the producer decides that it will make more money and success then they can disregard the Artist idea of not recording the song. However, if the artist disobeys the producers rules, then they can have the power to fire the artist. These acts are identical to how the Executive and Legislative branch check each other....

...our founding fathers had chosen not to introduce the Judicial Branch in the Constitution. America would be an extremely different place, if not at all still exist. The Judicial Branch interprets the law, a task much more important than it sounds. The Supreme Court, the only court created by the constitution in the Judicial Branch, has made some of the most important decisions in US history. Ones that couldn't be solved by anyone else correctly in the federal government. The Judicial Branch prevents people from abusing law. The Judical branch interprets the constitution, and what they say the 266 year old document is, is what it is. On The Supreme Court has made...

... Wednesday Oct 03, 2012 The Constitution of the United States is the supreme law of the United States of America. The first three Articles of the Constitution establish the rules and separate powers of the three branches of the federal government: a legislature, the bicameral Congress; an executive branch led by the President; and a federal judiciary headed by the Supreme Court. The last four Articles frame the principle of federalism. The Tenth Amendment confirms its federal characteristics. The Constitution was adopted on September 17, 1787, by the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and ratified by conventions in eleven states. It went into effect on March 4, 1789. The first ten constitutional amendments ratified by three-fourths of the states in 1791 are known as the Bill of Rights. The Constitution has been amended seventeen additional times (for a total of 27 amendments) and its principles are applied in courts of law by judicial review. The Constitution guides American society in law and political culture. It is the oldest written national constitution in continuous use, and it influenced later international figures establishing national constitutions. It centers on concerns for extending democracy and balancing the federal budget. Over time the United States Constitution has come to be treated like an old...

...Carlisle IT Part Number Selection Structure Phillip Reynolds PRG/211 Novermber 5, 2012 Jack Warner Carlisle IT Selection Structure in Part Selection Module In order to create a successful program the importance of the analysis and design stages of the program development cycle cannot be overstated. After an in depth look at the problem and analysis of the problem it has led to the first stages of product design. The project is on schedule and an example of the programs functions and use of control structures will be introduced as we discuss the program updates. Part Number Input Module One of the major functions of the program will not only be footage production, which will be discussed in later program development reports but also part number tracking. Tracking what part number is ran within each run will provide a historical database for analysis providing improved inventory control procedures. The data will be tracked as currently tracked on paper but stored digitally into a database. This process can be realized within the program by the utilization of control structures and iteration control structures. Control Structures As discussed within (Venit & Drake, 2011) a selection control structure gives a computer the ability to take a defensive stance against incorrect data, which forces users to enter valid data as the input. Selection control structures additionally offer users the ability to make a decision within a...

...from the branches located outside Metro Manila are sent to the Manila Head Office through passenger buses every other day while reports from Metro Manila branches are received daily. 2. Difficulty of ascertaining the true level of branch revenues: During monthly meetings, Ms. Pimentel provides top management with past sales and expenses data for the last five years together with forecasted conditions for the coming year. Some branches exceed the sales budget while some are always below the forecast. Ms. Pimentel, the chief accountant, attributes negative sales variances partly to unrecorded sales and tampering of official receipts. Unrecorded sales or receipts may be done in several ways, examples: a. To provide repair service without the issuance of official receipts. b. To use spare parts of a “good” frame when servicing an order for repair instead of taking the part form the spare parts inventory. The frame from which the part is taken is later on declared as defective. c. The branch staff services orders from customers using the company’s own suppliers. 3. Connivance: Ms. Pimentel believes that this practice implies that personnel at the branches connive with each other in not reportin some revenues for the branch. Statement of the problem: In view of these cases, Ms. Pimentel is proposing to top management that a review of the company’s internal control system be made. Mr. Francisco, the VP for Finance, however, thinks that there is nothing...

...East Africa. It has to be at least 2.3 million years in the past. Its definatly a lot colder than in the future. The air feels really dry as if there was no moisture. Looking around I see the savanna luscious with vegetation. I spot a man or what looks like a man walking towards a group of trees holding what appears to be some sort of hammer or club. I slowly approach him and start to follow him and I discover a small village of sorts. This must be where the Homo erectus lives. The adults are roughly five to six feet tall but they have narrow hips. However they’re legs were denser. They’re heads have a less spherical and more elongated shape and suggest lower mental capacity. Their weight ranges from 88 to 150 pounds. I have noticed that they also have sweat glands meaning that they are able to cool themselves down in hot weather. They were hunter-gatherers or foragers. They lived in groups and worked together to survive. The males would typically go hunt while the females would gather vegetation like fruits and nuts and would process the meats that were gathered earlier. The females would also take great care in their week and young members. This would ensure optimal survival for their species... They would live in crudely made huts out of large tree branches. Each of the branches would be stuck into the ground and surrounded by rocks to prevent them from moving. Each of these huts were roughly tent shaped... I follow a couple of the males that are going hunting...

...Case 10: Steele Enterprises Main Problem: Constant fighting between Richard Leeman, Chief of Chemical Branch Public Relations and Donna Olson, Chief of Mechanical Branch Public Relations. Facts of the Case: 1. Olson and her team were tasked to take charge of the PR Dinner and she was claiming that Leeman suddenly took over the arrangements, without any directive from their boss, for the dinner which infuriated Olson. 2. Leeman was claiming that if it was not for him, the company would have to pay $4,000 on top of the $12,000 budget. He took action when he saw the cost sheet of the catering manager amounting to $16,500. 3. With the constant fighting, it has been brought to the attention of the Regional Manager, Alfred Gamble and kidded that the type of competition should be fierce in the PR business. 4. Documented cases, seven to be in particular, between Leeman and Olson. Alternative Solutions: 1. Getting rid of either Leeman or Olson. PROS: * This MIGHT reduce the constant bickering between the two branches. CONS: * Losing one of the most talented employees would be a great adjustment for the company. It might also take time before they can replace a skilled employee. * This might also create more conflict between the two groups but the main problem would be ‘Who should the company dismiss? And for what grounds?’ It might be unfair for the other party. 2. Trading either Leeman or Olson for Bob Lyons at the Central Region Office at St. Louis. ...

...Dwayne Bell General Manager the Inn Restaurant 1 Country Inn Road Upscale, Az.85251 August 10, 2010 Mr. R. Shaky Owner the Inn Restaurant 1 Country Inn Road Upscale, Az.85251 Dear Mr. Shaky: It has been a month since I was hired as GM of the Inn Restaurant. I am settling in well and look forward to a long prosperous relationship. I would like to take this opportunity to discuss with you some items of concern regarding the condition of the building. During this site inspection the following things caught my attention. * Old trees have grown so that their branches could become entangled in the power lines connected to the restaurant * Many of the windows have gaps possibly from the building settling * Water is not properly drained from the building. * Spider web pattern of cracks forming on the foundation. * The roof has tar paper that is pulled up in one section along with bird nests and tree branches. * There are also charred markings around the exhaust vent of the hood system. These are all potentially hazardous situations for our guest and staff. If we do not take action to fix these issues it will not only affect our bottom line but our ability to stay in business at all in this facility. The trees pose several problems. With the branches being so close to the power lines could potentially cause a fire if wind gust cause them to snap and clog up or wear down the gutter system. The roots could be clogging drains underground which could...

...Interview Project My person of choice to interview for this project was my mother. She has personally in business for well over 15 years. She is talented and knows what she is doing through and through, and has helped lead her team to the top many times. My mother Jill works as an area manager for SunTrust in the Charlotte area. I decided to pick her, not only to have someone to interview, but also to get to know her on a more personal level and to see personally how she truly feels about what she does. I set up the interview via email. It becomes difficult trying to get together and be able to sit down and personally conduct the interview when she is out and about working. I attempt to visit as often as I can, but there are some nights that she doesn’t get home until really late. She was welcome and willing to do it, and her answers gave me more of an insight of what she really does. Here are the following questions, as well as answers. 1.) a. How do you measure success? In many ways… as a leader I measure success by how well my team achieves various key measures. My personal success is when my team is considered successful by others. b. Where does that measurement stand now? Currently we are exceeding key metrics and a majority of the 18 branches I lead are at or above target for the 4th quarter. c. What actions are you taking to change the measurement(s) (in the right direction)? My goal is to have all branches achieve their goals so for those that are not at...
