		This is expected to directly impact on enhancing the capacities and abilities of the concerned players and stakeholders and hence wider and faster rate of adaptation and adoption of sustainable soil-water management practices resulting in higher and stable yields, food security and improvement of rural livelihood.
		ACT is an international association of players and stakeholders - private, public and NGO sectors, including farmers, input and machinery manufacturers and suppliers, researchers and extensionists - who believe that the adoption of conservation tillage principles and practices in Africa can not only reduce but reverse the environmental degradation that is devastating the continent.
		Members' Website: It is therefore, the commitment of ACT, that through this website and other information experiences sharing provisions facilitated by the Network, you will gain access to information and possibly partners that would be valuable in your work to promote or apply conservation farming practices.

	Scotland's Past - The Act of Union (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		By the Act of Settlement it was decided that if Queen Anne should die childless, her only son had died in 1701, then the crown would pass to Sophia of Hanover, a cousin of Charles I. The Scots refused to agree to this and passed a series of acts that were hostile to England.
		The most important of these was the Act of Security in which the Scottish Parliament would have the power to nominate a successor to Anne within 20 days of her death and that the successor did not necessarily have to be from the House of Hanover.
		By this Act the selection of ministers to the Church was decided by the nobles and the Crown, in practice this Act caused a great deal of friction between the Church and the Crown.

	GO BRITANNIA! Scotland: A Brief History - The Union of 1707 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Parliament had passed the Act of Settlement in 1701 to ensure that Anne's heir was to be the Electress Sophia of Hanover, granddaughter of James I. Thus, when William died in 1702, Queen Anne succeeded him; on his deathbed, he recommended a union with Scotland.
		In 1703, the Scottish Parliament passed an Act of Security that provided for a Protestant Stuart succession upon Anne's death, unless the Scottish government was freed from "English or any foreign influence." The English Parliament responded with an Alien's Act that prohibited all Scottish imports to England unless the Scots accepted the Hanoverian succession.
		The Act of Union had settled the boundaries of a state known as Great Britain whose people, despite their differences in traditions, cultures and languages, were held together simply because they felt different from people in other countries.

	Constitution of Sweden
		Sweden's switch from elective to hereditary monarchy in 1544 gave reason to Sweden's first law of constitutional character, in form of a treaty between the royal dynasty and the realm represented by the four Estates to be valid for all times.
		In 1980 the old principle of "agnatic primogeniture", which meant that the throne was inherited by the eldest male child of the preceding monarch, was replaced by the principle of full "cognatic primogeniture." This meant that the throne will be inherited by the eldest child without regard to sex.
		The 1766 Act held for example that Freedom of Expression was to be uninhibited, except for "violations", which included blasphemy and criticism of the state.

		However, the most that can be required of nonmembers who inform the union that they object to the use of their payments for nonrepresentational purposes is that they pay their share of the union's costs relating to representational activities (such as collective bargaining, contract administration, and grievance adjustment).
		The Act also requires that a petition for a union-security deauthorization election be filed by 30 percent or more of the employees in the unit covered by the agreement for the NLRB to conduct an election for that purpose.
		In determining a union's qualifications as bargaining agent, it is the union's willingness to represent the employees rather than its constitution and bylaws that is the controlling factor.

		These unions see the Bush Administration's efforts to forge a united Department of Homeland Security to fight terrorism as simple union-busting and a war on Iraq as a way to distract attention from domestic problems.
		When the Homeland Security Act was up for a vote in November of 2002, AFGE's national union president Bobby Harnage called for Congress to oppose the bill: "It has nothing to do with improving security.
		While these statements from government union bosses are troubling, individual union members rival their leaders in the distrust they seem to have for the government that employs them.

	Civil liberties and security – a difficult balancing act \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		That courts can handle terrorists who are caught with explosives in their possession doesn't mean they are capable of handling the terrorists who manage to evade detection until the moment they immolate themselves with their victims.
		But worse than the judge's logic is the underlying sentiment that yesterday's law enforcement procedures are adequate for today's security threats – and that any deviation from them is a betrayal of the Constitution.
		In fact, the balance between security and liberty is constantly readjusted as circumstances change.

	Controversial changes in Employment Security Act provide for more bargaining at company level
		Secondly it is important for the unions that they alone and not legislation decides if their local branches should be authorised to conclude agreements of this kind.
		The Commercial Employees' Union, theElectricians' Union and other unions, along with many small local branches, are afraid that the employers will use the new provisions against those branches which might be too weak to resist what the unions would call pure flmail, in situations where employees fear for their jobs.
		Some unions are therefore embarking on discussions to change their internal regulations before 1 July, in order to forbid local union branches from entering into agreements that derogate from the Employment Security Act.

	Union calculates next step in battle to organize airport screeners (5/21/04) -- www.GovernmentExecutive.com
		In the latest joust, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled May 14 that a lower court did not have jurisdiction to decide whether the Federal Labor Relations Authority had power to refuse election petitions filed by AFGE on behalf of screeners.
		The union filed a complaint in district court arguing that Loy did not have the statutory authority to issue his directive.
		The D.C. District Court ultimately dismissed the union's statutory claims, holding that the FLRA has exclusive authority over conducting elections to determine whether a labor union has the support of a majority of employees in an appropriate unit, and that Loy's directive deprives FLRA of jurisdiction to conduct an election for TSA screeners.

		Consequently, the Union asserts that the Authority should affirm the RD's decision that the incumbent employees are not excluded under § 7112(b)(6).
		Treasury proposes that the Authority should broadly construe the term "national security" in § 7112(b)(6) "to include expressly those `activities which are designed to prevent terrorist attacks and to reduce the vulnerability of the United States to terrorists attacks,'" which Treasury asserts is consistent with the wording of Section 101 of the Homeland Security Act.

	NCPA - Union Issues - Hobbs Act Exempts Union Violence (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Union violence is a bigger problem in this country than most people realize, say observers.
		This is result of current federal law, which largely exempts unions from responsibility for violent behavior.
		The Supreme Court has held that the 1946 Hobbs Act, designed to stop violence related to labor disputes, didn't apply to efforts aimed at achieving "legitimate union objectives." Thus the FBI cannot investigate, nor the U.S. Department of Justice prosecute, such crimes -- while local prosecutors lack jurisdiction in labor-related disputes covered by federal law.
