It shows up on affidavits, and as a rough translation means, I presume, "beyond this, I (the Affiant) aren't stating anything futher" but it seems to be a stock phrase as if it's some magical amulet that protects the affiant from something, but I haven't figured out what that is. Can someone whose been through law school clarify this for me?

I heard that the USAF doesnt care what field you major in at college. Is this true? All my life becoming a pilot is what I have wanted to do, however, I am not good at math so I most likely would not major in anything that involves math (engineering, physics, etc.)

Like every year for last 18 years people of Kashmir Valley , Poonchh,Doda,Kishtwar, Rajauri, Kargil,Nubra, Zanskar & parts of Leh observed COMPLETE STRIKE by the call of Hurriyat Conference on India's independence day in the DISPUTED STATE despite over 1 million Indian INSECURITY forces' announcement to defy that. On 13 th July, the Martyres Day too they already observed complete strike & showed d world what they want. That shows real mood of people who clearly know real dispute of the state fully well who r not babies. They're firm on their international legal right of self determination to be exercised. But the brainless jingoists who r dishonest, unjust, frauds, hoodwinkers & believers of goonda type brutality, oppression, repression, suppression, victimisation, subjugation & bludgeoning into submission of innocent beautiful, completely clean & transparent people of state by army do not admit publicly the reality. Shoudn't d dispute be solved earliest to bring peace & 100% JUSTICE ?

I watched the original star wars movie last night. Like many movies made before 2001, they sure don't make movies like that anymore.

The opening scene is Princess Leia on an espionage mission wearing civilian clothing, fires on uniformed soldiers, then spends the rest of the movie claiming to be a peaceful diplomat inbetween shooting at people.

This was enthusiastically received by Ronald Reagan who used the movie to illustrate America's foreign policy in his "Evil Empire" speech. He sure didn't have a problem with religeous devotees sneaking around blowing suff up getting recognised as heros.

I've got a £50 ticket... I will pay it, to save the court appearance!! But I think the circumstances should at least go in my favour of a reprieve...

My brothers diabetic girlf was having a hypo and I had to take her to her doctors... I parked outside as she turned all kinds of colours and shaking etc...as shes 9 months pregnant and was barely able to stand, I helped her into the surgery...

I was in there whilst she got help (max 10 mins) I came out and had been slapped with the ticket!!

I was in a parking space...For permit holders only..I didnt realise, but even if i had..I was kinda unimportant at the time!

When I telephoned the council...They just said I should have parked in the car park about ten mins walk way (if your not heavily pregnant and losing consciousness!!) and they would not be retracting it!!

Anyone got any ideas... CAB were pretty useless unfortunately... Im loathe to pay it under the circumstance...!!

Thanks!!

It is about the Unitec. It is a university situated in West Auckland. I just wanted to inquire if it's one of the best university in New Zealand. I've been accepted for a University of Auckland foundation course and eventually, I wanted to do a nursing course at the University of Auckland. So which one is much better, Unitec or University of Auckland? What can you say about the reputation of Unitec?

I was watching a WWII documentary on the History Channel regarding Midway and it showed a flag that looked like the English flag (White flag with two red lines crossing one another) on one of the Japanese flag ships. Is this some type of naval insignia or a signal flag of some sorts?

I have dual citizenship- I live in London right now, but sometimes consider going to the states. There are so many pros and cons of each that I can never seem to decide where the best place to live is. I know I'd be financially better off in the states, in theory, but things like healthcare and lack of holiday time off work put me off.

Just wondering what everyone's thoughts are- where would you rather live? And why?

I need help here .. soldiers have always gone to war to protect their civilian countries. The cost of war is people dying. Usually civilians, who have had absolutely no choice. (as in the thousands dying in present wars in which the West is involved).

Why is it such a shock to the press & to individuals when one or two soldiers are killed in Afghanistan or Iraq? it is surely part of the job, & they are aware of the dangers when they willingly sign up. Neither the U.S. nor the U.K. has conscription. These people have chosen to enlist. Soldiers choose their job, the tools of their job are designed to kill people, & their families & friends surely understand the risks involved. I am genuinely puzzled by the outrage in this part of the world every time a serviceman in a war dies.
