No, military leave laws typically do not apply to contractors. These laws are specific to members of the military who are employed by the Armed Forces. Contractors are generally governed by the terms and conditions of their employment contracts, rather than military regulations or laws.

Advocating conduct intended to disrupt the lawful acts of the government with violence is generally referred to as advocating or inciting violence or violent means of protest or resistance. It involves encouraging or promoting actions that aim to forcefully interfere with the functioning of a government through illegal and aggressive methods. Such advocacy is typically considered illegal and can be seen as a threat to public order and safety.

No, there is no federal law that specifically requires disclosure of annual income on credit applications. However, lenders typically request this information to assess creditworthiness and determine the borrower's ability to repay the loan. It is common practice for lenders to ask for details about income, employment, and financial information on credit applications.

To have a good poll, you need a clear and specific question, a well-defined target audience, a representative sample, and unbiased wording of the question. Additionally, the poll should be conducted using a reliable and transparent methodology, and the data collected should be analyzed and presented accurately.

When there is a conflict between federal and state laws, the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution dictates that federal law takes precedence over state law. However, it is best to consult with a legal expert to specifically determine how the federal law definition of mobile home may interact with a state law defining mobile home in a particular situation.

Schools have the authority to establish rules and regulations for the well-being and productivity of students. This includes determining what is allowed within the school environment, which may involve restrictions on music. However, the extent and specific reasons for banning music would depend on the policies and priorities of each individual school.

An American president can be elected a maximum of two times. The Twenty-Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in 1951, limits a president to serving two terms in office. However, if a vice president assumes the presidency due to the death or resignation of the incumbent president and serves less than two years of the term, they can still be elected to two full terms.

Whether probation can violate someone for getting married while on federal supervised release depends on the specific conditions and restrictions set by the probation officer. Typically, getting married would not be a violation, but it is essential to consult with the probation officer to ensure compliance with all conditions and requirements.

It means that the pharmacists can't tell any other customers what prescription you are getting. Some people are embarrassed that they have to get medicines for herpes and erectile dysfunction - so they can now be assured that nobody else is going to know what they are picking up.

In my opinion and not in order of importance the role of a student is to keep a teacher/instructor alert and on his or her toes. Academically, socially and legally.

Yes, a student is obligated to report unethical, immoral behaviors and the school should have the ability and obligation to terminate such teachers and professors. The more difficult part is that it is more difficult to define right/wrong-ethical vs. unethical behaviors.

To keep the college or school in business.

To make other students engaged and enjoy learning for the sake of learning.

Each student should be on a fairly equal mental level for the subject they are learning /discussing at that time. For example math, reading, composition, and comparative religion. They do not need to be the same age or same IQ, but understand the subject; not only for their own sake but for fellow students' sake. I'm not talking about a learning disability nor any type of disability for that matter.

Each student also needs to care for the safety of the classroom. Another example was in years past, just out in public, a person gave a seat to a frail person or pregnant woman. Common Courtesy is dead!

The role of the young student is to learn more about others and themselves. Now will the parents lets this happen is the important question.

My last comment is how the student/school relationship is the place where politeness is taught and practiced in society even if forced at times. Many times children aren't taught etiquette at home or at school. Then the rules are lost. Look at taking off hats. Even older men wear hats in restaurants.

Finally, to graduate and help future students and schools by doing more than the minimum that is legally required. Not only should you pay taxes and repay any loans, but you should also give time and money back.

What can a student do to improve their behavior in school? Hi! In school different students act in different ways. I am doing this research report to see what a student can do to improve their behavior in school. First we can try to talk to them to see if there would be a change in their behavior. One of the major areas of difficulty for students with autism spectrum disorders is the development of social and communication skills. Communication breakdowns can be a "root" cause of problems in social interaction, educational performance, and behavior. While it is common for educational programming to focus on developing communication skills, which focus in most settings tends to be directed toward developing the student's expressive communication. Comparatively little attention is directed toward increasing the student's ability to understand the communication in his life. This book demonstrates why an inability to effectively take in and understand information can be a significant factor in these students's performance. Visual Strategies for Improving Communication contains numerous easy to use systems and strategies that have proven to help these students significantly improve their ability to understand, express themselves, participate in home and school routines and improve overall behavior. The first goal when working with these students is to create an environment that will support communication and make communication breakdowns less likely to occur. This is accomplished in part by developing a system of visual tools and aids to increase communication effectiveness. Schedules, aids to give directions, and aids to give information, and aids to establish and communicate rules are tools designed to increase the student's understanding of what is happening around him. A second goal, improving student independence and participation, is met with the presence of visual tools.

The smoking ban started in 1995 with California being the first state to enact it. Since then, many other states have followed suit, and most states in the United States do not allow smoking in any restaurants, bars or pubs anymore.

"Detecting" tax evasion can be a hard thing to do if you don't have the legal rights of a private investigator for instance. At any rate, tax evasion is not "detected" in the sense that there are certain behaviors to look for, evaders are caught.

I wouldn't recommend it. I purchased a couple of game on eBay. The seller sent them in a plain white envelope. I received an empty, torn envelope and no games. I would recommend using a padded envelope or wrapping the games in bubble wrap and then taping all the edges of the envelope for protection.

To operate as a non-vessel-operating common carrier or ocean forwarder in the U.S. handling international ocean shipments, a company or individual must first obtain an ocean transportation intermediary (OTI) license from the Federal Maritime Commission. This regulation applies to U.S. exports and imports, and applies even when a company is only acting as the agent of another NVOCC. All applicants for this license are subject to rigorous investigation by the FMC's Bureau of Certification and Licensing to determine if they have the necessary experience and character to render OTI services in compliance with the Shipping Act and FMC regulations.

The following are 10 steps in the process to obtain and OTI.

1. Determine what type of FMC-OTI license is right for your business.

There are three types of licenses: OTI-Forwarder, OTI-NVOCC and the combination license - OTI-NVOCC and Forwarder. The OTI-NVOCC license is the most popular: it authorizes the licensee to issue its own house bills of lading (HB/L), to set its own selling rates for ocean and intermodal shipments, and to enter into service contracts with ocean carriers to purchase transportation services. OTI-Forwarders are not permitted to do any of these things, but they may collect forwarding commissions (brokerage) from ocean carriers when they assist shippers with cargo booking and prepare shipping documents. The FMC does not permit an entity holding both licenses to collect a forwarding commission and act as an NVOCC on the same shipment.

2. Establish and/or confirm your corporate identity and status.

The FMC issues OTI licenses to sole proprietorships, partnerships, and corporations. Trade names also may be licensed, provided they are documented properly. Once a license is issued, a change to the licensee's corporate status, legal name or trade name requires an application to amend the license, or a new license application. Copies of the Articles of Incorporation or Articles of Formation (for an LLC) and all amendments to these must be attached to the application. Certificates of Good Standing also are required for corporations that have existed for more than a year.

3. Select Your Qualifying Individual.

To qualify for any of the three types of OTI licenses, the sole proprietor must demonstrate to the FMC that he or she has three years of verifiable OTI experience. For corporate applicants, the company must demonstrate to the FMC that at least one of its corporate officers has three years of OTI experience. Generally speaking, this experience must be obtained while working as an employee of an FMC-licensed NVOCC, ocean forwarder or an ocean carrier in the United States. The FMC will require a copy of a corporate document that proves the qualifying individual is a company officer. He or she need not be a shareholder of the company, but must be an officer and a full-time employee.

4. Obtain Three Good References for the Qualifying Individual.

The purpose of the references is to provide the FMC with people

who will verify the OTI experience and good character of the proposed qualifying individual. References are not required to write letters of recommendation, but must respond to phone calls or e-mails from the FMC, and confirm their firsthand experience with the proposed qualifying individual. Each reference must work for a different company.

5. Prepare a Draft of the License Application Form (FMC-18).

In addition to the corporate documents and qualifying-individual information, the license application form (FMC-18) requires details of all the company's officers, shareholders, directors and related entities. If the company or any of its officers has ever had a bankruptcy, tax lien, criminal or civil court record, these must be explained in the application. The application also must disclose all related entities - other companies that are owned or controlled by any of the company officers or shareholders, for example. These aspects of the application can take more time and effort to answer than the details of the qualifying individual's experience and references.

6. Obtain Pre-Approval for the OTI Surety Bond(s).

Surety bonds are not required until the FMC has reviewed an application and found it qualified for the licensing. However, once the application is found qualified, a bond must be submitted within 120 days. There are several sureties that specialize in these types of bonds, and will provide pre-approval on bonds. If a license application is found qualified by the FMC, but the applicant is unable to secure the bond, all the effort and expense put into the license application will be wasted. The FMC will not issue a license without a valid bond. For OTI-Forwarders the bonding requirement is $50,000 plus $10,000 per branch office. For OTI-NVOCCs the bonding requirement is $75,000 plus $10,000 per branch.

7. Pay the License Fee and Submit the Application to the FMC.

When the first six steps are complete, the license application can be submitted to the FMC License Office for official processing. The one-time FMC filing fee for filing a paper application for a new license is $825; for new applications filed through the FMC's automated online FMC-18 system, the fee is $250. While an application can be withdrawn after the official FMC processing has begun, the filing fee is not refundable.

8. Follow-up with the FMC License Office.

The FMC will contact the applicant, or its attorney or agent, during its review of the application for clarification on key points and documents. The FMC does not have a formal procedure or fees for expedited processing of these applications, but timely follow-up with the FMC will help avoid delays. For example, if a reference does not confirm the qualifying individual's experience to the FMC's satisfaction, a replacement reference can be used. If the FMC's background investigation reveals a related entity that was overlooked in the application, this can usually be clarified with an amendment to the application. Willful and knowing omissions or misstatements are a different matter. The FMC has taken aggressive action against applicants who were found to have knowingly failed to provide accurate information in their applications.

9. Upon Approval of the Application, Submit the Bond.

Normally, it takes the FMC about 60 days to process a well-prepared OTI license application. When an application is officially found qualified for licensing, the applicant receives a confirmation letter from the FMC that requests the bond(s). Once the signed original bond documents are submitted to the FMC in good order, the original license certificate will be signed and issued. Applicants must not begin operating or advertising as OTIs before they have their license certificates in hand.

10. Register and Publish Your NVOCC Tariff.

Once an applicant obtains the OTI-NVOCC license, its NVOCC services will be subject to the terms and conditions of its tariff, which must be published and maintained according to FMC regulations. The tariff rules, including the house bill of lading terms and conditions, must be published immediately after the license certificate is issued, even if the licensee does not begin NVOCC operations right away. The initial tariff need not include the NVOCC's freight rates, but once it begins operating, it is then required to update its tariff to include complete and accurate details of its selling rates and charges for all shipments moving under its house bill of lading. The tariff must be registered with the FMC Office of Tariffs. The FMC Web site provides a listing of each registered tariff and links to their locations on the Web. There are several professional tariff publishers who provide FMC registration, tariff publication and Web-hosting services.

Paintball guns, powered by compressed air, are not firearms, and therefore they may be possessed.

A formal accusation handed down from a grand jury is called an indictment. It is not a finding of guilty, it just means that there is enough evidence for a trial.

If they were convicted, than that means that the claim of self defense was not believed. However, the judge may take the convicted's belief that it was self defense into account at the sentencing.

Consult with a local attorney. The laws on such sentences - and what counts as mitigating factors - vary from state to state.

Answer

The term, "nation of sheep" implies a total lack of autonomous decision-making, based upon the metaphorical creatures known to continue blindly once pointed on the way.

This demonstrates a fundamental flaw in the implied premise of the question, because it only takes one new case to overturn a bad precedent.

The U.S. Supreme Court has overturned its own precedents over a hundred times.

However, the value of binding precedent is that the outcome of cases become that much more predictable, and thus avoidable, at least in theory.

For each case that law books capture in appellate reporters, there may be hundreds that were never filed or never made it to appeals because the lawyers involved understood the risks of challenging precedents.
