State of South Carolina : Governor Hayne’s message

Governor Hayne speaks of the superiority of individual state sovereignty and states’ rights over mandates by the federal government. Hayne’s speech comes after President Andrew Jackson’s Nullification Proclamation that disputed a state’s right to nullify a federal law, in response to South Carolina’s ordinances declaring the tariff acts of 1828 and 1832 unconstitutional.

Low-Carbon Cement with Waste Oil-Cracking Catalyst Incorporation

The present paper shows preliminary results of an ongoing project which one of the goals is to investigate the viability of using waste FCC catalyst (wFCC), originated from Portuguese oil refinery, to produce low carbon blended cements. For this purpose, four blended cements were produced by substituting cement CEM I 42.5R up to 20% (w/w) by waste FCC catalyst. Initial and final setting times, consistency of standard paste, soundness and compressive strengths after 2, 7 and 28 days were measured. It was observed that the wFCC blended cements developed similar strength, at 28 days, compared to the reference cement, CEM I 42.5R. Moreover, cements with waste FCC catalyst incorporation up to 15% w/w meet European Standard EN 197-1 specifications for CEM II/A type cement, in the 42.5R strength class.

A actual regulação do crédito ao consumo

"Consumidores somos todos nós como impressivamente se ex­pressou John F. Kennedy em 15 de Março de 1962. E diríamos que "consumidores de credito "somos muitos. É neste contexto que assume especial relevância a recente aprovação, no nosso ordenamento jurídico, de nova normativa reguladora do crédito ao consumo. Por outro lado, será de realçar o comando consti­tucional que prevê a protecção dos consumidores. De facto, prescreve o artigo 60° da Constituição da República Portuguesa que "os consu­midores têm direito à qualidade dos bens e serviços consumidos, à for­mação e à informação, à protecção da saúde, da segurança e dos seus interesses económicos, bem como à reparação dos danos". lmporta, pois, conhecer em rigor as normas que actualmente re­gem o acesso e a regulação dos contratos de crédito ao consumo, num contexto de harmonização comunitária deste instituto jurídico-económico. Será oportuno, sobretudo, compreender de que forma o diploma que actualmente rege a matéria em questão protege de modo mais vin­cado a parte considerada economicamente mais débil.
