discuss the legal arguments which both sides will raise and conclude which is the stronger.

contract discharge
In November 2018 Jack, the owner of two large transport trucks designed to carry ten cars each, made a contract with the owners of Acme Cars Australia Co Ltd to carry 40 cars a week between Adelaide and Melbourne for the next two years. The agreed contract price was $800 per car per week. At the time of signing the contract Jack’s weekly fuel cost was $6,000 and wages and other costs totalled $16,000.
By June 2019 Jack’s fuel costs had risen to $8,500 and his other costs had increased to $20,000. On July 1, 2019 Jack contacted Acme asking that the contract carrying price per car be increased from $800 to $900 per car per week. Acme declined on the grounds that the contract price was fixed in November 2018 for two years. 
Jack replied to the effect that the original contract had been ended by the totally unexpected huge increases in oil prices, brought about by cyclones and floods, which had caused the increases in fuel and other costs and therefore a new contract was now required.
Using cases to support your reasons, discuss the legal arguments which both sides will raise and conclude which is the stronger.

Eric Lacourse and his colleagues used questionnaires to measure several variables: suicide risk (yes or no), marital status of parents (together or divorced/separated), the extent to which the person’s mother and father were neglectful, self-estrangement/powerlessness (adolescents who have negative self-perceptions, are bored with life, etc.), social isolation (feelings of a lack of support), normlessness (beliefs that socially disapproved behaviors can be used to achieve certain goals), meaninglessness (doubting that school is relevant to gain employment) and drug use. In addition, the authors measured liking of heavy metal; they included the sub-genres of classic (Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden), thrash metal (Slayer, Metallica), death/black metal (Obituary, Burzum) and gothic (Marilyn Manson). As well as liking, they measured behaviora...

Are there modifiable factors, such as health behaviors that lend themselves to better prevention efforts?

 Identify a current health issue of interest to you e.g diabetes, HIV/AIDS, heart disease etc. On the basis of current epidemiologic evidence, explain the factors that have contributed to the following: the observed trend in mortality rates for this disease, the changes in survival; the changes in incidence.
