The balancing act of family and work can be very difficult at times. At some point in everyone’s life, he or she will need to take time off of work to deal with family matters. The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) of 1993 was created to help employees find a balance between the challenging demands of work and home. This Act allows eligible workers that require time off for personal reasons or family emergencies up to twelve weeks of unpaid leave. During the 1992 presidential campaign, Governor

seeking a right-wing alternative to the Progressive Conservatives founded the Reform party of Canada in 1987 (Mansbridge, 1987). Quickly gaining support, they succeeded in gaining numerous seats at the expense of the Progressive Conservatives in the 1993 election, splitting the right-wing vote between them. From 1987 to 2003, the Reform party (later known as the Canadian Alliance) and the Progressive Conservatives fought a long, protracted battle for control of the right-wing vote, enshrining a long
"virus" attached to the program. Viruses are self-replicating programs that, when activated, can damage a computer. These viruses are most commonly found on pirated computer games, placed there by some malignant computer programmer. In his January 1993 article, Chris O' Malley points out that if piracy was wiped out viruses would eventually disappear (O' Malley 60). There are ways that a thrifty consumer can save money on software without resorting to piracy. Computer companies often offer discounts

The 1993 film Calendar by Atom Egoyan was very interesting to me because it showed the transition from past to present and then it would switch back to past. This was interesting because is added this subjectivity and symbolism within the film. Another thing that I found interesting was the relationship between the characters, settings and symbols that added to the structure of the film. The film Calendar speaks to the notions of subjectivity through the shots and frames, structure and symbols within

Movie Response: Boys Don’t Cry First I just want to say that if I didn’t have to watch this movie for class, then it wouldn’t normally appeal for me to watch it. I didn’t have anything against this movie; I just personally do not like watching movies that have a negative vibe like it did at the end of this movie. I know that this movie was supposed to be based on the true story of Teena Brandon, however, after watching this movie, I looked up the true story and it turned out that the movie was
My Son The day I found out I was having a son changed my life for the better in so many ways that I would never have imagined. I was soon to be separating from the military and I really didn’t have a plan for my life. I was just going to go home and collect unemployment like my mom had suggested, but then it all changed in an instance. My girl came back from a trip to Atlanta with her sister to visit they cousin and I trust her so I knew it was mine but it sure was a wakeup call. But then all
Have you ever been crippled or felt so incapable of something? Has anything felt so empowering that you didn’t know what to do or how to tackle the situation? Have you ever felt so much pain where it seemed like it immobilized your body? Have you ever felt so depressed that you really didn’t know where the source of depression was coming from? These are the questions that come to my mind when I think about each and every tear that ever hits my face. I wonder how many tears are actually hitting my
Perquisition of oneself might be the riskiest thing to do. For we do not know what we might ferret out from it. We may not like what we see or be disappointed with the range of our abilities thus hinder us from doing so much more. But if we step back and look closely into it, taking risks is what we have been doing our whole life. Life is a long journey. It is a personal adventure of finding who you truly are. But there is no guarantee that it would be full of happiness and blissful moments. Problems

The essay shall discuss the central features of the process of policy change over the period of 1984 to 1993 in New Zealand.

On 26 February 1993 at 12:17, a yellow RYDER van detonated on level B-2 of the World Trade Center North tower. What was first believed to be a below grade transformer explosion turned into an extensive test of New York Cities Incident Command capabilities. Everyone involved had an intricate part in handling this situation. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) was able to get all support assets there promptly to assist in rescue operations. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives
Under the Native Title Act 1993 Aboriginal people can only claim title to vacant government owned land. They must prove a continuous relationship with this land when making a claim. The process it takes to gain native title is viewed by many as extreme. Should the process in Australia to Native Title claims be streamlined to allow Indigenous Australians the right to use of the land in a timelier manner? Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) The laws regarding native title have continually been questioned
foreign adversaries. On January 25, 1993 an illegal Pakistani immigrant, Mir Aimal Kansi, opened fire near the entrance of Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) headquarters in Virginia. The attack killed 2 employees and wounded others. Apparently, the Central Intelligence Agency was a target because of its interference in Pakistani matters during the war in Afghanistan.

The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) of 1993 is a law compelling all employers in the United States to provide unpaid but job-protected leaves to their employees. These leaves should focus on different qualified family or medical reasons. Some of these reasons are meaningful and can affect the wellbeing of the affected individuals. This fact explains why the passage of the FMLA of 1993 was something revolutionary towards supporting the needs of many Americans. Some of the “qualified issues that
experimental, everyone remembers their first love and what it meant to them and how it shaped them. They are often fond memories of purity or naivety, however, sometimes, those experiences are haunting and leave permanent scars in people's hearts. “Coleman (1993)” tells the tragic love story of a female speaker and her lover.

The attack on the World Trade Center in 1993, and the second attack in 2001 are the cases of terrorism that I have chosen to focus on because I believe that they are extremely significant. Both attacks happened during my lifetime, which makes them more personal, and also happened in the city where I was born. Both of these attacks are examples of terrorism because both attacks were violent and intimidating crimes that also had political motives. At first glance, both events seem very similar since
