...This is seen in the case Torquay Hotel Co Ltd v Cousins where Lord Denning invented the new tort for interference with a contract as he was unable to establish a breach of contract. Torquay Hotel Co Ltd had a contract for the supply of oil from Esso Petroleum Co Ltd. It contained a force majeure clause. The Transport and General Workers Union went on strike and blocked that supply. There was therefore no breach of contract by the Esso for failing to deliver. Torquary Hotel nevertheless sued the union, of which Mr. Frank Cousins was the general secretary. The House of Lords has subsequently rejected the existence of a separate tort for interference with a contract which can be constituted without unlawful actions or without a contractual...

...is marooned on a floe. Frankenstein was a student of natural science: he stumbled on a means of sparking life into inanimate matter. His experiments grew wild; he spent leisure hours combing abattoirs, charnel houses and graveyards. From odds and ends he constructed an eight foot Creature who lacked sex appeal. The Creature learnt about humanity from three books: Goethe's The Sorrows of Werther (passion), Plutarch's Lives (morality) and Milton's Paradise Lost (religion). Unfortunately, despite this injection of culture, people still tended to run away: an Adam without an Eve, the Creature asked Frankenstein for a mate. Frankenstein gets cracking but, in a fit of conscience, aborted the experiment. The Creature went mad and murdered most of Frankenstein's family and friends. Frankenstein is in pursuit of the Creature when Walton discovers him. Frankenstein dies in a final struggle with the creature across the frozen waters. The Creature, who only wanted "happiness and affection'', wanders off hoping to perish of misery and cold. Walton is left to make sense of a story that lies outside the boundaries of interpretation. Theme: In the early version, Shelley is conducting a dialectical debate between strict materialists and their religious opponents. The 1831 revision seems a conservative reappraisal: the book is now a dire warning of the consequences that fall on Frankenstein for meddling in God's Business. Essentially, Shelley is outlining the irresponsibility of the...

...Seconds is an exact replica of my life once you take away the fact that the main character of the story is a girl and the bizarre, atypical moments and events that occur throughout the book, such as the somewhat not quite explained skeletons and the house demons part of the grand scheme. But other than that I think this story, or more specifically, the protagonist, Katie and I have more than a few things in common. Katie and I are similar because because our incapability to take responsibility of our actions, the common feeling of being afraid when things are not perfect and our love of food. Taking the blame for what we do is not part of our vocabulary. Whenever something awful happens in our lives, we try to act as if it never ever happened...

...[Type text] : HEADLINES by Craig Halsall Dear all, Spring Holiday IGCSE & A Level Revision Programmes An important letter has been sent home with Year 10, 11, 12 and 13 pupils. Parents will also have received a copy of the letter via email and notification of the same via my official school Twitter feed, @CRHalsall. The letter explains an opportunity that we are considering offering to pupils taking IGCSE, AS or A2 examinations this summer. The importance of effective revision in helping pupils achieve their best possible grade is well documented. Effective revision can often make the difference and help pupils achieve higher grades. We also believe that pupils find it difficult to revise at home, which can be stressful for parents too. We are therefore considering offering an intensive revision programme during the last major school holiday before the summer exams. Full details of the programme are set out in the letter. There is also a link to an online survey that will take a maximum of two minutes to complete. The purpose of the survey is to understand the level of interest in the revision programme. A large number of pupils have expressed an interest in attending the programme, but it can only run should there be sufficient demand. Please complete the online survey by Monday 2nd February to express an interest in learning more about the intensive revision programme.

...This helps them make better decisions and prepares them to bear with the consequences that come with the decision made. Thus, teenagers are now capable of questioning the norms and boundaries they have grown accustomed to, such as house and school rules, religious beliefs and also cultural practices. Also, the setting of new personal goals and the achievements in various fields is not uncommon among teenagers. Alongside decision making, teenagers are also expected to be able to distinguish right from wrong and facts from opinion. For example, teens may bring up the question of the importance and relevance of a curfew. However, unlike 10 year olds, they tend to start acting out to protest against having a curfew instead of just taking instructions as they are. Some may even bring up examples from peers on their curfew times to support their stand. Although this usually marks the beginning of the rebellious teen years, this stage of intellectual development enables an individual...

...White Paper: Value Proposition for a Project Management Office (PMO) The goal of the PMO is to execute high quality projects faster and at lower cost by implementing common methods, practices and processes across the entire organization. These common methods include templates, defined/tested processes, and best practices. Some common responsibilities of a PMO include: 1. Develop/support/deploy defined project management processes and project management templates. These reusable objects support faster start-up of projects and ensure consistent tracking and reporting: good processes are repeated, ineffective processes are abandoned. 2. Continuous project management practice improvement: as best practices are identified/defined and/or improvements to processes/templates are identified, revisions are made to the methodology and deployed across the PMO organization. 3. Supports improved communication: the project teams use the same processes, deliverables, and language, leading to less confusion and fewer misunderstandings related to project work. 4. Documents services provided by the organization and services provided by all team members throughout project initiation, planning, execution, control and closeout. 5. Improved risk analysis, risk management and problem resolution: consistent methods, including risk management and status reporting, position the PMO to intervene early when corrections will have the lowest impact on project schedule,...

...upper and lower houses in their legislatures to ensure fairness among the regions of the country and to prevent an imbalance of power. This concept was referred to by Canada’s first Prime Minister, Sir John A. MacDonald, as the “sober second thought”. It is submitted that in today’s legal and political environment, Canada does not need a Senate to have its government function fairly, honestly and efficiently due to the procedures of the House of Commons. The Senate should be abolished for the reasons noted below. Firstly, the costs of operating the Senate have become extremely high, and there does not appear to be any political will to change this. Second, in spite of numerous half-hearted attempts to reform the Senate, senators are appointed by the Prime Minister and not...

...Unit 6 Project Veterans Having Trouble Finding Jobs After the Military Mark Everhart Kaplan University Professor Sandra Fontana Veterans who have served this country by going to war are quickly realizing that America is not appreciating the sacrifices made for our service members. Veterans are being passed over for employment for many different reasons. Some of these reasons include Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), lack of job skills for performing civilian jobs, and the inability to cope with the transition from military to civilian life. The unemployment rate for veterans is 6.9 percent (Norman, 2012). The government and the employers need to work together to make the transition out of the military a smoother process. The Department of Veteran Affairs cannot process the applications for the G.I. Bill fast enough to accommodate the veterans. Veterans lack the job skills necessary to perform jobs in the civilian sector after the military. All military veterans should have special training, skill and mind set for the transition from military to civilian life, provided by the government and employers to ensure employability after serving their country regardless of how many years of service one has served. Veterans lack the special training and skills that are necessary to compete with the civilian population. Veterans often have jobs that cannot transfer to the civilian world (Hefling, 2011). For instance if they are an infantryman, they cannot get a job as a mechanic....

...the state in controlling natural resources owes a great deal to the ambiguous nature of natural resource legislations (property rights) in India. Both open access system (public land, sea fishing) and common property along with private property system prevail in India. It means open access property can be converted into private, common or public property by legislating to define rights and enforce them. Claims of the state also get powerful in the area of maintenance of natural resources like forests, irrigation water, land and dams. India had extensive irrigation networks, which require regular maintenance. And there is no private party, which can be held responsible for the maintenance. So it is imperative on the part of the state to play the role of provider. Governments also have constitutional and legal authority in the specific field of natural resource management and may, therefore, be legally obliged to intervene in cases of conflict. In most cases, the state remains one of the claimants to contested resources. Next, many unclear and discriminatory policies have been put in place, i.e., tenure systems for land and other resources that either reflect historical inequities in wealth and political power or have been recently modified to encourage large-scale industrial houses and capital investment. In the process, interests of small-scale and marginalized farmers are widely ignored. As a result, these people are drawn in disputes over resources that they have traditionally...

...up the Council of Revision, which could veto legislation. The Virginia Plan gave the national government full authority to make laws and summon military force against any state that didn’t comply (Kernell, 58). The smaller states found this plan unfair because they would have less representation than more populous states. As an alternative, the New Jersey Plan was proposed, which gave each state an equal number of representatives. It also allowed the power of national policy by simple majority vote and like the Articles of Confederation, gave each state one vote in the selection of congress (Kernel, 59). The states debated for some time, but finally came to an agreement that satisfied both plans. This came to be known as the Great Compromise, which split legislation into two chambers. The upper chamber, the Senate, would have two senators per state, and the lower chamber, the House of Representatives, would have Representatives per population (Kernell, 60). James Madison that there should be not too little nor too many representatives, because the interest of the people may be disregarded. He states in his essay, Federalist No. 10, “The smaller the society, the fewer probably will be the distinct parties and interests composing it. Extend the sphere and you take in a greater variety of parties and interests; you make it less probable that a majority of the whole will have a common motive to invade the rights of other citizens; or if such a common motive exists, it...
