Whistle-blowers: a. Have no role in an FFCA case once it starts. b. Usually get rich from their role in the case. c. May file a
labwork [276]

Answer:

c. May file a qui tam suit in connection with an FFCA case.

Explanation:

The False Claims Act, also known as anti fraud law, (31 U.S.C. Sections 3729 through 3733) is considered to be the earliest qui tam law (which otherwise means "in the name of the King"), was first passed into law in 1863 and then later got amended in 1943 and 1986.

Hence, under the the False Claims Act, qui tam allows an individual or group of people (which are often referred to as whistle blower) with tenable proof of fraud against federal programs or contracts to sue the culprit on behalf of the United States Government. Thus, the government has the right to join or intervene in the action, however, should the government refused to join in the action, the whistleblower or the private plaintiff can proceed in the proceedings.

It is also pertinent to note that, a "qui tam" action can be filed in a federal district court in camera, under seal and in accordance to federal rules of civil procedure.

There are protection provisions provided for whistleblower under FFCA (Federal False Claims Act) and they are:

1. Reinstatement to work

2. Payment of double back pay

3. Compensation for any special damages such as cost of litigation process.

When do you feel you are more likely to make decisions rationally instead of emotionally?
max2010maxim [7]

Answer: When the mind is unbiased

Explanation: Making rational decisions requires one to be unbiased either as a result of religious, racial or gender influence. It also requires one to be in the right frame of mind at the time of making the decision. Emotional decisions could occur if one's judgment is influenced by religious, cultural or social inclination or sympathy towards a particular group. It could also stem from one's present state of mind at the time the judgment is passed, hence making one's judgment more of emotional than rational.

In other to make rational decisions one should be in the right frame of mind, free from external influences which could induce bias into one's decision.

The climates of East Africa vary greatly due to elevation and latitude.
miskamm [114]

Answer: True

Explanation:

East Africa has diverse climatic conditions due to the different elevation and latitudes present. In East Africa, certain areas are very high such as in Ethiopia, Kenya and Tanzania with the latter two having two of Africa's tallest mountains.

This has caused a difference in climatic conditions with certain areas receiving a lot of rain and others not probably due to the effects of frontal rainfall.

Countries like Uganda, Tanzania, and western Kenya receive a lot of rainfall which allows for more woodlands as opposed to the arid vegetation of Somalia and parts of Kenya and Tanzania.

What is considered the backbone of police work?
Goryan [66]
Well police work constitutes several different factors. One is to detect crime, and that more often than not, in all developed nations, involves surveillance and "Intel" on suspicious personnel. This can range from your day to day uniformed officers to the more high end types like covert FBI and CIA who are most often than not, seen wearing plainclothes.

Next is to deter crime, and this is done as a preventive action. This can come through the form of having good relationships with the surrounding community, building up support from the grassroots and of course, addressing the issues and crime related concerns poised by these stakeholders.

And the most commonly seen type of policing, would be the normal day to day patrol officers. These officers are deemed to be the front-liners against vice and criminal activities, and often than not perceived as the only backbone of policing work.

However, alike all corporate organizations, each police force has a wide range of supporting services which ensures the functionality of the police. But in essence, the above 3 factors constitutes the seen and unseen "backbone" of police work. Hope this helps:)<span />
