- 711: Analysis of the Immigration Problem
- ... We will have to think and decide with great care what our policy should be toward immigration. At this point in history, American immigration policies are in a mess. Our borders are totally out of control. Our border patrol arrests 3000 illegal immigrants per day, or 1.2 million per year, and Two illegal immigrants get in for every one caught. And those caught just try again! More than 1 million ... practically anyone who declares that he or she is fleeing political oppression has a good chance to enter the U.S. Chinese are almost always admitted, for example, if they claim that China's birth-control policies have limited the number of children they can have. Right now, once aliens enter the U.S., it is almost impossible to deport them, even if they have no valid documents. Thousands of those ... just fifty years, with no end in sight. We are taking in more people than all of the rest of the world combined. As have all the other countries of the word, America needs to control its borders. As every house needs a door, so every country needs a border. And yet, our borders are full of holes. We have clearly lost control over our future. Our children will pay ...

Contingency planning is linked to many recognised organisational functions such as corporate planning, risk management, human resource management, information management, security management, fraud control, financial administrative practices, disaster recovery planning for information systems and emergency and crisis management.

It can be effectively produced by applying such processes as the ... information regarding first aid, medical treatments and short and long term effects of exposure to these two chemicals should have also been available.

- 713: The Effectiveness Of Local Crime Prevention Funding
- ... to learn whether DOJ programs are effective, it must provide a more balanced approach to program funding and evaluation. The latter cannot be accomplished without some small compromise in the principle of State and local control over how most of the federal funding is spent. While this principle may have many merits for the federal support of State and local operations, it is a roadblock to federal production of sound guidance on what works to prevent crime. Exclusively local control of funding conflicts with the scientific principles of controlled field testing, preventing DOJ-funded program evaluations from using "rigorous and scientifically recognized standards and methodologies." A statutory evaluation plan can remove this obstacle by setting aside just ten percent of operational funding for federal-local partnerships to accomplish scientifically controlled field tests. This would allow DOJ to control program funding in ways that will help insure reliable evaluation results. A secondary legislative obstacle to evaluating crime prevention is insufficient funding for employing scientifically recognized standards and methodologies. There are substantial costs of ...
- 714: In Practise The American Colonies Were Self Governing In 1776
- ... which the colonies were independent, the different degrees of freedom granted to the different colonies by the Crown in the view that the Declaration itself was signed by all 13 colonies. By 1776, Britain’s control was as Perry suggests a « light touch and with little or no control ». The colonies all had a different degree of independence so that some were more or less inclined to declare independence in 1776. Connecticut and Rhode Island, the charter colonies, enjoyed considerable independence. There was an ... The governor had the right to adjourn the Assembly, withdraw his consent from any legislation and veto legislation. However, as Christie suggests: « By the mid 18th century some of the principles and practises of imperial control had long vanished before the insistent pressure of the Assemblies ». Britain still controlled trade and generally, the economy. The Navigation Acts stated that trade to and from the colonies could only be carried out ...
- 715: Teddy Roosevelt's Contribution to Natural Resources
- ... of 1887 he hosted a dinner for ten of his sportsmen friends. The group recognized that the extinction of the buffalo and the passenger pigeon could easily happen to any other species. A decision to control market hunting and provide wildlife the ability to coexist with man was made with the development of the Boone and Crockett Club. Founded that night by Roosevelt, the club still exists today with the mission ... Roosevelt¹s presidency. Headed by Pinchot, the US Forest Service was a small department that conducted scientific studies of forests on private lands. Though the US Forest Service contained all trained foresters, they had no control over public forests. Roosevelt expressed concern on this issue in his first message to Congress, but it took Congress three years to act upon it. The Act of February 1, 1905 transferred the National Forests from the care of the Department of Interior to the Department of Agriculture, and resulted in the present day United States Forest Service. With control of this new land, the first goal of the trained foresters was to open all the resources of the National Forests to regulated use. Another priority was to put every part of the land ...
- 716: Fidel Castro's Reign In Cuba
- ... Agrarian Reform (INRA) with broad and ill defined powers. Through the INRA Castro methodically seized all American holdings in Cuba. He promised compensation but frequently never gave it. He conducted investigations into company affairs, holding control over them in the meantime, and then never divulging the results or giving back the control. (7) These seizures were protested. On January 11 Ambassador Bonsal delivered a note to Havana protesting the Cuban government seizure of U.S. citizens property. The note was rejected the same night as a U.S. attempt to keep economic control over Cuba. (8) As this continued Castro was engineering a brilliant propaganda campaign aimed at accusing the U.S. of "conspiring with the counter revolutionaries against the Castro regime"(9). Castro's ability to ...
- 717: Elitists in Democracy
- ... and foreign interest (Snow, pg. 17).” The democratic transition of Argentina in the 1980’s to the 1990’s demonstrated a relatively smooth transition from Radical power to Peronist power, and then back to Radical control. On October 30, 1983, Argentines went to the polls for the first time in more than a decade, and elected Alfons n, a Radical into office. He focused his campaign around political issues related to ... and witnessed the implementation of policies they favored. Elitism in Brazilian politics was one “whose prevailing dynamic was one of elite conciliation and negotiation (Keck, pg. 239).” A relatively narrow political elite maintained any significant control over the political arena. This differs from Argentina, where the elitist opposition is extremely prevalent. Weak political parties may hinder the lack of a strong elitist assembly. Only two parties today have been in existence since 1966, therefore current parties are new and unaccustomed to longevity, unity, and participation. Prior to 1945, a military elitist party held all the power and control in Brazil, making it virtuously impossible for civilian leaders to be allowed into government positions. For the opposition political elites, “the Brazilian transition was about building a democratic regime rather than about building the ...
- 718: Reconstruction
- ... and a new social structure between whites and blacks. During the war Lincoln had expanded his presidency. With his power he hoped to set up loyal governments in the Southern states that were under Union control.

He did this as soon as a group of the state’s citizen totaling 10 percent of ... discarded debts incurred while in rebellion, and declared secession null and void. By the end of 1865 all of the secessionist states but Texas had rejoined the Union. Radical Republicans in Congress thought they should control Reconstruction and wished to punish the South for causing the Civil War. Some of these Republicans wished to create a Southern society where blacks and whites were equal. These Republicans opposed the Southern “Black Codes.” Black Codes were harsh local and state laws passed to control blacks in the South after the Civil War. The Radical Republicans reconstruction plan included the passage of the 13th Amendment and established the Freedman’s Bureau. Jackson made the 13th Amendment part of his ...
- 719: Absolutism
- ... of England believed in their divine right to rule. Criticism, however, and distrust from the House of Commons, kept the Stuart monarchs from absolute power. Throughout the seventeenth century parliament and the monarch fought for control of England. Socially, an absolute monarch had to have control over all classes in his kingdom. This included all religious views. In France, Louis XIV first respected Protestant religions, but in 1685 revoked the Edict of Nantes, which created a country of Roman Catholic belief ... English monarchy and the common people. France was united under one absolute religion. England was a collection of separate religions making absolute faith impossible. An absolute monarch of the seventeenth century had to have economic control. The monarch needed sufficient income from taxes to run the country as he pleased. Louis XIV of France failed miserably in this area. Although he had absolute control over finances, feudal privileges allowed all ...

The program is called "Fresh Start" and was conducted in Victoria, Australia ... individuals across the three groups who had high levels of self-efficacy was related not to the number of attempts to quit, but the success of the attempts, while "the role of Health Locus of Control [was found to be] complex needing further investigation" (Stuart, Borland, & McMurray, 1994, p. 1). The second article for review is titled, Sensation Seeking, Nicotine Dependence, and Smoking Motivation in Female and Male Smokers. This study ... at night. These outcomes lend support to the theory that the main problem with the arousal modulation theory "is the linkage of stress and arousal" (p. 394). This study provided "an alternative viewpoint: that stress control and arousal control are separate and orthogonal" (p. 395), and research into sub-groups of smokers is needed. Attributional Correlates of Cessation Self-Efficacy Among Smokers was an experiment designed to examine the association ...
