State lotteries are used to raise revenue for state coffers, often for education funding. In general, lotteries are games of chance with mostly cash prizes, which are heavily regulated.

What Is The Law Surrounding The Virginia State Lottery?

The Commonwealth of Virginia has the distinction of being the first state-run lottery in the U.S. in 1612. It went on to fund Virginia's College of William and Mary and University of Virginia. churches, and libraries.

However, in 1849 the Virginia Legislature banned all forms of gambling. including the lottery. Voters changed that in 1987 and brought back the government-run lottery.

Where Do The Lottery Funds Go?

The Virginia state lottery laws earmark revenues specifically for public education ; with a mandate that administration and operating costs do not exceed 10 percent of total revenue.

By law, all unclaimed Virginia Lottery prizes go to the Literary Fund. The Literary Fund is u ... Read more »

Let us first study what is law of reflection with respect to a single light ray. Look at the following diagram.

Let MM' be a plane mirror which is absolutely smooth. A light ray AO strikes the mirror at O (the incident ray), and it is reflected as ray OA'. called as reflected ray. ON is the perpendicular to MM' at O. It is also called as the normal to the surface at the point of reflection.

The angle made by the incident ray with the normal ON is p and q be the angle made by the reflected ray with the same normal. These are called as 'Angle of Incidence' and the 'Angle of Reflection' respectively.

According to the Law of Reflection, Angle of incidence is always equal to angle of reflection.

Now, let us consider a set of rays assuming a plane mirror with a smooth and perfect surface. The situation is explained in the following diagram:

May the Force Be with You

The F. the m and the a in Newton's formula are very important concepts in mechanics. The F is force. a push or pull exerted on an object. The m is mass. a measure of how much matter is in an object. And the a is acceleration, which describes how an object's velocity changes over time. Velocity. which is similar to speed, is the distance an object travels in a certain amount of time.

Let's restate Newton's first law in everyday terms:

­An object at rest will stay at rest, forever, as long as nothing pushes or pulls on it. An object in motion will stay in motion, traveling in a straight line, forever, until something pushes or pulls on it.

Physicists use the term inertia to describe this tendency of an object to resist a change in its motion. The Lati ... Read more »

Under 32-1-102 a testator (the individual who is creating the will) must be at least 18 years of age and of sound mind. If there has been any history of mental illness or incompetence then it is important that the testator make arrangements to assure that her competence at the time of drafting is validated.

Under 32-1-105 no witnesses are required for a holographic will---a will drafted in the hand of the testator. However, the signature and confirmation that the writing is indeed that of the testator must be proven by two witnesses.

Laws are created to maintain equality, stability, and structure. To maintain order in society, laws are established as is punishment for disobeying these laws. Laws are broken down by classification and to some degree, may interact with one another. Substantive law sets the ground rules for individuals whereas procedural law is the policy on how to carry out the rules. Criminal law is for the protection of society and civil law is to serve the purpose of compensating someone for a loss due to the actions of another person. Common law and statutory law regulate businesses and individuals and are known as primary sources of law. These laws are managed at federal, state, and local levels within the United States.

The Fourth Amendment is important to businesses because it requires obtaining sufficient evidence in the investigation of a criminal or administrative offense before a warrant can be used to search premises or access documentation. The Fifth Amendment allows individual ... Read more »

Media rankings of business schools are an integral part of the business school world. There are only two major full-time MBA rankings the Financial Times and The Economist that directly compare schools from around the world. BusinessWeek and Forbes create separate lists for U.S. and the rest of the world, while US News World only focuses on the U.S. market.

There is no ‘best’ business school in the world but there could be a ‘best’ business school for you.

To help you in your research, MBA50.com has compiled the results of the big five MBA rankings of the last 12 months to produce the MBA50.com Premiership.

Trespassing means illegal infringement into someone else's person or property without his explicit consent. For the intruder's guilt to be ascertained, intent has to be proven; hence, trespassing signs are legally enforced to indicate boundaries. In land law or real estate law, trespassing constitutes two categories: criminal trespassing or civil trespassing. Police and property rangers control the jurisdiction of criminal trespassing, whereas civil trespassing responsibility falls to the landowner to lodge a legal proceeding against the perceived trespasser.

According to the Canadian Trespass Act of 1996, a person is not guilty of trespassing if he has received the consent of the landowner, the consent of another organization or color of right, which means a legal statement revealing the genuine mistaken view of the accused or affirming that occupation on another person's property is legal. However, the trespasser faces certain conviction if the land is enclosed by fencing, ... Read more »

Copyright law grants the exclusive right to display or perform a work to the owner of the copyright. It also allows a legally-obtained work to be displayed. This allows libraries and bookstores to place textbooks being sold on display for students to buy.

Copying a protected work without permission from the author is an infringement of its copyright unless it is fair use under copyright law. The fair use doctrine permits multiple copies to be made for educational and other purposes. Four things must be considered to determine if fair use is applicable: purpose of the use, whether for commercial or educational purposes; nature of the copyrighted work; amount and substantiality of the portion copied, including whether or not the heart of the work is copied in full; and impact of the use on the market value of the work. In general, copying sections from a textbook for classroom purposes falls well under the protection of the fair use doctrine.

Traffic laws are the laws which regulate vehicles and other traffic including pedestrians, animals and other conveyances. Traffic laws and regulations vary from place to place. In many countries, the rules of the road are codified, setting out the legal requirements and punishments for breaking them. In the U.S, traffic laws are regulated by the states and municipalities through their respective traffic codes. Most of these are based at least in part on the Uniform Vehicle Code, but there are variations from state to state.

The following is an example of the state statute (nevada) laying down one of the traffic regulation:

Nev. Rev. Stat. Ann. 484.473 states that a driver shall not permit a person, with regard to a motor vehicle being operated on a paved highway, to ride upon or within any portion of the vehicle that is primarily designed or intended for carrying goods or other cargo or that is otherwise not designed or intended for the use of passengers.

Through its constitutionally-granted powers. the United States Congress considers thousands of bills each session. Yet, only a small percentage of them will ever reach the top of the president s desk for final approval or veto. Along their way to the White House, bills traverse a maze of committees and subcommittees. debates, and amendments in both chambers of Congress.

For a complete explanation, see. How Our Laws Are Made (Library of Congress) Revised and Updated by Charles W. Johnson, Parliamentarian, United States House of Representatives.

Step 1: Introduction

Only a member of Congress (House or Senate) can introduce the bill for consideration. The Representative or Senator who introduces the bill becomes its sponsor. Other legislators who support the bill or work on its preparation can ask to be listed as co-sponsors. Important bills usually have several co-sponsors.

The Marshal Law wiki last edited by silent_bomber on 09/22/14 04:05PM View full history

Joe Gilmore is Marshal Law, a government-sanctioned vigilante who hunts super heroes, so called cape killer. He is disgruntled vet who fought in "The Zone", a South American war that U.S.A was involved. He is in fact a superhero himself.

The government altered the men who fought in The Zone by making them super soldiers. They were implanted with bio-electronics that made them unable to feel pain and also any kind of human empathy. Because they were unable to feel pain, they felt the need to inflict it to others. Lot of them also went crazy and/or got uncontrollable superpowers. Gilmore served in this elite unit called The Screaming Eagles.

When he returned home to San Futuro, the city was in ruins after a big earthquake, "The Big One", and Gilmore realized that his experiences as a super soldier had left him hating superheroes as phonies and fakes. He tried to control the ... Read more »

International trade is “the exchange of goods [or] services” “between nations.” Black’s Law Dictionary 285, 1529 (8th ed. 2004).

Constitutional. federal. and international laws govern international trade between the United States and foreign nations (or persons or entities therefrom).

Hello,

Does anyone have a good example of a photographer release? One that allows a model to print her own image.

I've signed lots of model releases, releasing my image, either allowing the photographer to sell or not sell it, either to use it solely for his/her own self promotion or to sell to others. But I guess I didn't cover myself.

Today I tried to print a couple headshots, which had to go into the mail today. The print shop I've always used refused to unless I faxed them a signed contract from the photographer, discribing the pictures and allowing me to print them. I tried calling the photographer (from OMP) but she was out in the field, and no where near a fax machine.

They were my frickin' headshots! Of course the photographer intended for me to be able to print them! So, everytime I've done TFCD, technically I don't have permission to print any of it.

Also, I tried to print a page from a photographer' ... Read more »

Law is a system of rules a society sets to maintain order and protect harm to persons and property. Such systems are ancient, dating back at least to the Code of Hammurabi. written by an ancient Babylonian king around 1760 BC. Today, most countries have tens or hundreds of thousands of pages of laws. They are enforced by the police, supported by the court and prison systems. Laws are written by legislators, such as senators or congressmen. In America and many other countries, these rules must uphold and not contradict the Constitution, a document outlining the most basic rules of the country.

Aside from law being a set of rules, the word also refers to the profession practiced by lawyers, who either prosecute or defend a client from an accusation of violating the law. Becoming a lawyer requires attending law school and passing a bar exam. This entitles the lawyer to a license. Only lawyers with a license are allowed to practice.

There are many categories of law. Thes ... Read more »

Under Ohio law, it is illegal to to abuse, neglect or exploit an individual at or above the age of 60. While child abuse is universally condemned and actively campaigned against, elder abuse is, according to the Ohio Attorney General, often unreported and under prosecuted. To reverse this trend the Ohio Attorney General convened an "elder abuse commission" to push for increased focus and public involvement to fight this crime.

Under Ohio law, it is illegal to physically maltreat an elderly person. Physical maltreatment not only includes common examples of abuse such as punching, kicking and hitting seniors but also less visible actions including inappropriate amounts of required medication. Additionally, mentally abusing a senior is also illegal. Mental abuse can take take the form of emotional attacks such as withholding medication or verbal attacks.

In this section you will find a definition and information on the three main types of law degrees: the Juris Doctor (J.D.), the Master of Laws (LL.M.), with the highest degree being the Doctor of Juridical Science (S.J.D.).

The Doctor of Juridical Science is the highest law degree in the United States and is comparable to the Doctor of Philosophy for most other disciplines. The Doctor of Juridical Science program is research intensive and students are expected to know their research interests before beginning the application process.

Students who want to practice law in the United States enroll in a Juris Doctor degree program. This degree can be earned after three years of full-time study. However, many J.D. programs are often combined with other master's degree programs in a specific facet of law, business or public policy and these programs take longer than three years to complete.

How does HIPAA serve to protect patient rightsI

HIPPA is there to protect the rights of patients that need help or service, so that their information is not shared with anyone else but whom they give consent, or agree to let someone else know their history or information. HIPPA protects the client’s rights so therefore, their information is not public and it is against the law for their information to be shared or put in public.

What areas of the JSBMHA did HIPAA compliance impact?

It affected the client’s rights that their personal information would not be shared with anyone. In addition, the patient confidentiality act was misused in this situation.

What actions should the JSBMHA director take about the HIPAA violation? Explain your answers in detail.

A visual representation of the system. In reality, he would be wearing a wig and pointing towards a bailiff. The words would remain the same.

This poor stick-man was a vandal, a thief, and a hippie, the maximum security unit was the best place for him.

This principle refers to the way in which some governments are feeling liberal and amend the Three Strike Law to be more of a one strike law. Now obviously this is grossly unfair to those who commit minor crimes but when considered carefully by a board of highly trained international relations advisor they saw this variant of the law fit for use in all states where the African-American population outnumbers the white population.
