Carry-on bags must be properly stowed in overhead bins or under the seat in front of you. Be careful about what you put into the storage bins over your seat. Their doors may pop open during an accident or even a hard landing, spilling their contents. Also, passengers in aisle seats have been injured by heavy items falling out of these compartments when people are stowing or retrieving belongings at the beginning or end of a flight.

Like other businesses, airlines have a lot of discretion in how they respond to problems. While you do have certain rights as a passenger, your demands for compensation will probably be subject to negotiation and the kind of action you get often depends in large part on the way you go about complaining. Start with the airline. Before you contact DOT for help with an air travel problem, you should give the airline a chance to resolve it. As a rule, airlines have trouble-shooters at the airports (they're usually called Customer Service Representatives) who can take care of many problems on the spot. They can often arrange meals and hotel rooms for stranded passengers, write checks for denied boarding compensation, arrange luggage resolutions, and settle other routine claims or complaints
The battlefields of Europe in World War I were not pretty. Soldiers bogged down in mud-filled trenches, standing to fire and lob chlorine gas bombs at the enemy, sometimes running brave charges at great risk of being mowed down by machine gun fire. In this real-time strategy title, you will have to lead your men over this no-man's land, making split-second combat decisions. You control up to 80 foot-soldiers, as well as gas mortars and artillery units.
Because potential settlers believed the Neutral Strip to be in Indian Territory, cattlemen operated there without much competition for land until 1885. Responding to an inquiry in that year from a Strip resident, the U.S. Land Office affirmed that the Public Land Strip was not a part of Indian Territory but belonged instead to the federal public lands subject to squatters' rights. News of this opinion reached Kansas newspapers, and soon a steady flood of land-hungry farmers trekked into the Public Land Strip.
Between 1885 and 1890 Strip residents actively sought rights to homestead their claims. The most ambitious effort was the attempt to gain territorial status under the name of Cimarron Territory. Although failing Congressional approval, the Cimarron Territory Provisional Government met from late 1886 into early 1889. Strip residents also sent letters and petitions to federal offices, but these likewise failed to secure a land office and homestead rights.
The 1890 Organic Act made the Strip part of Oklahoma Territory and brought it homestead rights. The entire Strip was designated the Seventh County, soon renamed Beaver County, and a land office was placed at Beaver City, county seat for the entire Panhandle. During 1890 and 1891 government surveyors partitioned the land into sections, and the squatters' self-surveyed quarter-section lines were corrected. The old-settler squatters who could verify their claims received up to three years' credit toward the homestead requirement of five years' residency.
United Nations declarations more specific to land include the Declaration on Social Progress, adopted by the General Assembly in 1969, which recognizes the social function of property, including land, and calls for forms of land ownership that ensure equal rights to property for all.9
The results have been catastrophic. The court did not consider that thousands of people are dependent for their livelihood on the forests and grasslands falling within the demarcated areas, and many others live there. The recording of usufruct rights over forest areas was last undertaken a hundred years ago when India was under colonial rule, and thus a large number of people who are exercising traditional usufruct rights are not able to produce documentary proof of such rights. Their claims cannot possibly be settled in a year. Nor did the court examine the current debates within activist and academic circles questioning the conservation model on which the existing law is based, which excludes rather than involves people in conservation. The state governments have used the Supreme Court's directions to advance their own agendas of evicting whole communities from these areas, often only to make way for large industrial projects. In many areas no claims for compensation were filed by the people likely to be affected as state governments short-circuited claims procedures under the guise of meeting the deadlines issued by the Supreme Court.
• the injustices of racially based dispossession • the inequitable distribution of land ownership • the need for security of tenure for all • the need for sustainable use of land • the need for rapid release of land for development • the need to record and register all rights in property • the need to administer public land in an effective manner
The right to ancestral domain, collective ownership of land, customary land rights and the concept of "time immemorial” possession have been claimed as exceptions to the regalian doctrine and private individual ownership.
As of early 1999 the Legal Resources Centre in South Africa was litigating an aboriginal land claim on behalf of the Richtersveld community. The community of 3,000 used to be nomadic and pastoralist people who traditionally occupied the Richtersveld. The land claim was held by the state-owned diamond mine Alexkor, which was in the process of privatization. The LRC was negotiating for a community equity share in the mine and to secure the land rights of the community. It was also working on an integrated development plan which would provide that
As part of the black majority, black women were prevented by apartheid from owning land in 87 percent of the land in the country. In addition, customary laws as tampered with by apartheid prevented women from owning land. Up until 1986 a women was not able to obtain real rights to land without the permission of her husband or guardian. Even though the racial restrictions on owning land have been lifted, because of their extreme poverty most rural black women cannot afford to buy land.
Equity will be achieved only with the removal of all legal, social and economic restrictions on the participation of women. The Land Reform Process must include the reform of customary marriages, natural resource management policies, and inheritance laws where they are obstacles to women receiving and holding rights in land. Challenges to South Africa's Constitutional and Land Policy Processes must thus go well beyond reforming rights in land.
The claimant should have a registered or unregistered right or interest. Such a right may have been established by occupation of the land for a substantial period. It is not limited to a right recognized by law nor to ownership rights; it may include certain long-term tenancy rights and other occupational rights. Recognition is given to the fact that discriminatory laws may have prohibited certain claimants from obtaining legal rights on account of their race.
You may be unaware of the rights you have as a utility customer. But it's important that you understand these rights before filing a complaint with your electric, telecommunications, water and sewer utility service provider or the Public Utility Commission (PUC).
But how would Americans consent to be governed? Who should vote? How should they vote? The founders wrestled with these questions. They wondered about the rights of minorities. In their day, that meant worrying if the rights of property owners would be overrun by the votes of those who did not own land. James Madison described the problem this way:
I said: It's funny how those bushes seem to move.''Aye, they do play queer tricks. Is this your first spell in trenches?"A German flare shot up, broke into bright flame, dropped slowly and went hissing into the grass just behind our trench, showing up the bushes and pickets. Instinctively I moved.'It's bad to do that, sir,' he said, as a rifle-bullet cracked and seemed to pass right between us. 'Keep still, sir, and they can't spot you. Not but what a flare is a bad thing to fall on you. I've seen them burn a hole in a man.'(6) John Raws, letter to a friend (4th August 1916)We do all our fighting and moving at night and the confusion of passing through a barrage of enemy shells is pretty appalling. You've read of the wrecked villages? Well, some of these about here are not wrecked. They are utterly destroyed, so that there are not even skeletons of building left - nothing but a churned mass of debris, with bricks, stones and girders and bodies pounded to nothing. And forests! There are not even tree trunks left - not a leaf or a twig. All is buried and churned up again and buried again. The sad part is that one can see no end of this. If we live tonight we have to go through tomorrow night - and next week - and next month.(7) Charles Hudson, journal entry, quoted in Soldier, Poet, Rebel (2007)No man's land in the salient varied from a few yards, incredible as this sounds, to about a hundred yards. Shelling was not as common in the front line itself as further back owing to the proximity of the enemy. Trench mortar fire and rifle grenades were our bugbears in the front line. I preferred, of the two, shelling. A shell came quickly, a trench mortar rose high into the air and then on reaching the apex of its flight came down, turning over and over like an old boot, landing with a thud before it burst. From the apex downwards it always appeared to be making straight for you if you watched it, much as the eyes of a portrait seem to follow the viewer round a room. I learned not to look.(8) Arnold Ridley, The Train and Other Ghosts (1970c)As it went, it wasn't a question of "if I get killed", it was merely a question of "when I get killed", because a battalion went over 800 strong, you lost 300 or 400, half the number, perhaps more. Now it wasn't a question of saying, "I am one of the survivors, hurrah, hurrah", because you didn't go home.... Out came another draft of 400 and you went over the top again. 2ff7e9595c
