Michael manin, an airline pilot, was twice convicted of disorderly conduct, a minor misdemeanor. to renew his flight certificati

on with the national transportation safety board (ntsb), manin filed an application that asked him about his criminal history. he did not disclose his two convictions. when these came to light more than ten years later, manin argued that he had not known that he was required to report convictions for minor misdemeanors. the ntsb's policy was to consider an applicant's understanding of what information a question sought before determining whether an answer was false. but without explanation, the agency departed from this policy, refused to consider manin's argument, and revoked his certification. was this action arbitrary and capricious?

Answer:

No, the decision was supported by evidence that Manin lied.

Explanation:

In the case of Manin vs. National Transportation Safety Board and Federal Aviation Administration (2011), this agency revoked Manin's pilot license and his medical flight certificates, arguing that Manin had intentionally falsified his application papers by concealing the information about his previous convictions. Manin appealed the decision, arguing that he did not know he had to report misdemeanors as convictions, and he wanted the decision overturned since he considered it arbitrary. A National Transportation Safety Board decision can be overturned if it's found that it is “arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, or otherwise not in accordance with law.”

However, the court determined that the decision of the Safety Board was supported by substantial evidence, because it was clear that "Manin was convicted of a federal crime before applying for his 1992 and 1993 certificates. <u>Manin's applications for the certificates show that he denied any prior convictions. Therefore, Manin's applications for his certificates contained false statements</u>."

In general, countries with high real GDP per capita also received "very high human development" or "high development" rankings f
MrRissso [65]

The GDP is representing the total production in a year in a particular country of all final goods and services. The GDP per capita on the other side represents the amount of money that the citizens have on average, thus their financial strength. When compared, these two can show totally different pictures, or they may show very similar ones. Some nations do have high GDP and also high GDP per capita, while some have very high GDP , but the GP per capita is average or even low. We can take the UK and India as examples. They have relatively similar GDP's, but when the GDP'c per capita are compared then the UK is light years ahead. One of the biggest reasons for this is the population, as both countries have similar GDP, but the UK has around 20 times smaller population than India, so when the money are redistributed on the amount of population the differences are enormous.

Which of the following best explains what makes allocation decisions
kvasek [131]

There are never enough goods and services to satisfy all wants and needs- this best explains that allocation decisions necessary.

Option: C

Explanation:

Resources are the thing that every human being needs. But it is impossible to get every required resource in our desired place like coal is only found in some selective region of world. But it is a very important resource to everyone. In India petroleum is only found in Mumbai high, Digboi (Assam), Ankleswar etc.

So for the equal distribution of resource to everyone resource allocation is necessary so that everyone can get the benefit of resource. Nowhere in the world have enough goods and services that satisfy all wants and needs. So the area full of resources will export it to the area which is lacking of it and will receive the other resources that is abundant there but scarce here.
