Iowa Supreme Court orders furlough on Monday Associated Press February 16, 2009 DES MOINES, Iowa - The Iowa Supreme Court is closing all state court offices on Monday to save money during tough budget times. The decision to close the court on President’s Day means an unpaid day for about 1,600 employees at a savings of more than $335,000. Judges and magistrates are the only court employees who will work on the furlough day because their salaries are set by the Legislature and handled separately. The furlough is planned for President’s Day because it’s a federal holiday when court officials anticipate less impact on the public because other government agencies also are closed. Gov.
Let’s take a look at some events that led up to this battle. Washington’s army had dwindled to some three thousand men; they had just escaped the pursuit of General Lord Cornwallis who had been victorious over the earlier summer and fall months in capturing New York and defeating the American Army in a series of battles. (British Battles.com) All this lead up to December eighth when the British Army reached Trenton, Delaware just after Washington and his men had passed over into Pennsylvania. Washington faced several dilemmas while he was with his men in Pennsylvania. One problem was the harsh winter that continued to make his fighting force dwindle in the number of abled bodied men.
So one has to ask was it worth it? Almost near years since we entered Iraq we are leaving with little results and a bill that doubles our debt and could continue to hold down our economy. There were over 4,400 lives lost, and that is just on the Americans side. We have not even began to scratch the surface of the effects on the native Iraqis and how many thousands of civilians have been killed and the millions that have been displaced by our war efforts. To go along with the 4,400 Americans that wont be coming home to their families, there were over 32,000 Americans wounded in this war.
The rough Winter most likely was the cause to 70 deaths. Based on the “Background Essay”, “Then, in the awful winter of 1609-1610, another two-thirds of the settlers died.” Harsh winters were bound to happen. There was nothing anybody could do about it or prevent it. The colonists could have prepared for it, but because they did not have the current technology, they could have not possibly predicted that a rough winter was coming their way. According to “Document D”, in 1607 August through October “Summer sickness kills half the colonists” The summer of 1607 was so severe that it killed 50 people.
The names of Members applying for a Bill are drawn in a ballot held at the beginning of the parliamentary year. The first seven ballot Bills get a day's debate. There are also Ten Minute Rule Bills which is a speech of ten minutes outlining a position. The majority of PMBs fail because the government doesn’t provide the support necessary for their successful passage through the House and it is also held on Fridays which reduces the attendance. This shows that backbencher serve little purpose, other than acting as lobby fodder.
Death was a constant companion to those serving in the line, even when they weren't under attack, many would die of disease. They would have to face body lice, rodents, small amounts of food, and some hated the life in the trenches so much, they would cause self-inflicted wounds so that they could be sent home. Before that though, the first thing a new recruit would be overwhelmed with on the way to the front line would be the smell, the smell of rotting bodies in shallow graves, men who had not washed in weeks, the lasting odour of
He soon joined the British Army and served them well for many years until he was wounded by Indians in the back of the neck. After the way the British treated him, Daniel grew to despise them and joined the American army in the good company of George Washington. He was a prisoner of war with Benedict Arnold. Daniel fought in both battles at Saratoga. In 1779, Daniel came home as a civilian after retiring with the army.
Look at it from this point, before the invasion of the coalition. There was electricity, jobs, clean water, food and are now on the brink of civil war between Sunni and Shiat Muslims. There does not go a day in Iraq with out civilian casualties and American troops dying. On average 6.2 Americans die a day. Since the collapse of SH regime more Americans have died after the war .77% of Iraqis would rather the coalition never come because before they came to the “rescue” there was stability in the region.
Since Jimmy Carter only three presidents have been elected to a second term. In 2012 we are seeing a very similar link between Jimmy Carter and the now incumbent Barrack Obama. Both have suffered low economic growth, high inflation rates, high interest rates, high unemployment rates, and although President Obama hasn’t had to deal with a hostage crisis he has had to deal with wars on two fronts and the breakdown of long lived peace agreements in the Middle East. Just like Carter, this physical year saw one of the lowest increases in pay for military personnel in recent history, and with a loss of confidence from the American people this election is shaping up to be a repeat of the election of 1980. The significance of this election will not hold the same weight since there are no indications that it will bring a massive realignment of Parties as the 1980 election did, but should force people to vote for the prosperity of this nation and not just for the Party they are affiliated
The conditions were so bad many people ended up unable to work due to sickness or death from either the meat or exhaustion. Sinclair made it clear that the poor peasants were the hardest working and received nothing in return. His passion in writing is so deep for the lower class folks when he expresses the value of each individual in Jurgis’ group and their drive to keep
