A Contractor's Perspective on Afghanistan
Presentation to the Afghan-American Chamber of Commerce, U.S.-Afghanistan Business Matchmaking Conference, Construction and Infrastructure Panel, 3 December 2013
How can the president circumvent congress
Executive orders allow presidents to manage operations within the federal government without congressional approval. However, the Supreme Court ruled that presidents cannot use executive orders to make new laws. Presidents since the 1950s generally cite which existing laws their executive orders are based on. Signing statements are issued when a president signs a bill into law and can be used to interpret statutes, though some argue this modifies laws without congressional approval. Executive agreements are international agreements made by the president without senate ratification and have the force of treaties despite questions over their constitutionality.
Powers of the president alone
The document outlines the various powers of the US President, including powers they wield alone such as serving as commander-in-chief of the armed forces, receiving ambassadors, and granting pardons. Some powers are shared with the Senate, like making treaties and appointing ambassadors and judges. Other powers are shared with Congress, such as approving legislation. The President also acts as the head of their party and uses the bully pulpit to push their agenda.

Some tactics presidents use to influence Congress include making calls and offers to members, inviting them to meetings, and appealing directly to the public.

Roni Amit - SIHMA Seminar 3 : 3 September 2014
The document examines the implications of a regional approach to labor migration on South Africa's asylum system. It finds that while regional labor agreements within SADC could help ease pressures, on their own they would likely have a limited effect given that only around half of asylum seekers in 2013 were from SADC countries. Implementing a "first safe country" principle also faces challenges in ensuring countries uphold international refugee law obligations like non-refoulement. Overall the asylum system seems to currently function more as an immigration control mechanism rather than one that properly evaluates protection claims, and greater political will would be needed to establish a well-functioning system even with regional cooperation.
Democratic Republic of Congo Presentation
The document discusses reconciliation efforts in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) including indigenous processes, truth commissions, and amnesties. It provides background on the country's history of conflict and describes surveys of DRC citizens who generally support establishing the truth and reconciling, though through legal means rather than granting amnesty. While a truth commission was established, it lacked political and public support and had little impact due to corruption. Reconciliation will require addressing the root causes of conflict through rule of law and constitutional reforms.

However, the UN provides both opportunities for influence but also limitations as NGOs must rely on other actors and face bureaucracy.

It is run as an oligarchy, with a group of four people and their advisors controlling the legislative and judicial branches. The executive branch enforces laws and policies on a hereditary basis.

A.为什么留学生需要操作留信认证?
留信认证全称全国留学生信息服务网认证,隶属于北京中科院。①留信认证门槛条件更低,费用更美丽,并且包过,完单周期短,效率高②留信认证虽然不能去国企,但是一般的公司都没有问题,因为国内很多公司连基本的留学生学历认证都不了解。这对于留学生来说,这就比自己光拿一个证书更有说服力,因为留学学历可以在留信网站上进行查询!
B.为什么我们提供的毕业证成绩单具有使用价值？
查询留服认证是国内鉴别留学生海外学历的唯一途径但认证只是个体行为不是所有留学生都操作所以没有办理认证的留学生的学历在国内也是查询不到的他们也仅仅只有一张文凭。所以这时候我们提供的和学校颁发的一模一样的毕业证成绩单就有了使用价值。乌龟和王八贼头贼脑的倒也逗人喜爱日上三竿时山娃总爱窜进自家瓜棚里跟小伙伴们坐着聊天聊着聊着便忍不住往瓜田里逡巡一番抱起一只硕大的西瓜用石刀劈开抑或用拳头砸开每人抱起一大块就啃啃得满嘴满脸猴屁股般的红艳大家一个劲地指着对方吃吃地笑瓜裂得古怪奇形怪状却丝毫不影响瓜味甜丝丝的满嘴生津遍地都是瓜横七竖八的活像掷满了一地的大石块摘走二三只爷爷是断然发现不了的即便发现爷爷也不恼反而教山娃辨认孰熟孰嫩孰甜孰淡水
