...Contracts we use them on our daily lives even if we do not want to acknowledge them. They are agreements between two or more groups, written down to ensure both parties have an agreement on what is expected of them. There are many types of contracts and we use them for different situations, from getting married to buying a house. We are going to explain some types of contracts and how we have used them in our daily lives. Adhesion Contracts is one party has more power than the other in creating a contract. It also means the party that has the most advantage leaves the other party with no option. It is also known as “take-it-or-leave-it contracts”. It is not necessary that all adhesion contracts are unacceptable contracts, but in some cases one party has a superior bargaining benefit, leaving no option for the other party. For instance, this can happen in monopolistic markets. An example of adhesion contract is an insurance contract. The company or the agent has the most power, while the policyholder only has the right of rejection. They cannot create a new contract. It is very important to read the contracts carefully. Aleatory Contract is a type of contract which the parties involved does not have to perform a particular action until the event occurs like a natural calamity. Both parties may assume risks. Aleatory contracts are commonly used in insurance policies. The insurer does not have to pay until a disaster occurs, such as a fire, or other property losses...

...CONTRACT REVIEW ASSIGNMENT Instructor: Barb Eccles Business Law 3051-FA Matthias Majerczyk Due Date: Tuesday, November-27-2012 BigCo Agreement for Exchange of Confidential Information 2) Most people who have positions in a corporation are employees under the legal entity. So, therefore Really Smart Guy is the Vice-President and an employee of BigCo Limited. BigCo can use confidential draft patent application and some confidential information to compete with III. This is according to paragraph 4, “BigCo can use III’s ideas, concepts, know-how and techniques for its own business activities to compete with III, only if III’s Information is retained in the memories of BigCo’s employees who have had access to the Information under the BigCo Confidentiality Agreement.” BigCo was also given a draft business plan. BigCo cannot use the business plan to compete with III according to paragraph 4, “nothing gives the BigCo the right to disclose, publish or disseminate the business plans of III” 3) BigCo can terminate its agreement with III by providing a one month’s written notice BigCo. III’s and BigCo’s obligations for disclosing information will extend beyond the termination and will remain in effect until fulfilled. The Survival clause is really weird and it conflicts with the Confidentiality Period on paragraph 3. How can you say that it will extend for two years following the initial date of disclosure, then the survival clause states that any terms of the agreement will extend...

...The Social Contract Theory of John Locke Paper University of phoenix Finance and Budgeting in Justice and Security AJS/532 Matthew O’Deane November 20, 2013 The Social Contract Theory of John Locke Paper My paper evaluates the Social Contract Theory of John Locke, and how his principles are even within the criminal justice system, and private security situations nowadays. This paper shall also in great detail debate whether or not Locke’s’ values and beliefs pertain to criminal justice as well as private security venues. A summary will be presented to identify key dissimilarities of the social contract theories, recognize key any principles connected with Locke’s social contract theory, label how these codes are instilled within the United States Bill of Rights, recognize how these principles show within the criminal justice system and security organizations of present, and lastly define independence in regards to personal rights and proper principles, and commitments. “A social contract is a voluntary agreement in which mutual benefit occurs between and for individuals, groups, government or a community as a whole. According to Locke, the State of Nature, the natural condition of mankind, is a state of perfect and complete liberty to conduct one's life as one best sees fit, free from the interference of others (Kelly, Martin. (2012)).” This doesn’t mean that it is a state of authorization: a citizen isn’t...

...Acc 327 Case No. 2 Spring 2012 It is January 20, 2012, and you are the senior auditor in charge of auditing the 2011 year-end financial statements for Granger Paper Company (GPC). GPC is a profitable company that has been in business for many years. It is primarily a manufacturing company that buys wood from timber growers and converts the wood into a variety of paper products. It is a publicly traded company with a reputation as a good corporate citizen. Although GPC has been audited many times in the past by external CPA firms, this is the first year your firm has conducted the audit. GPC’s total revenue for 2011 is $80 million. In examining the revenue for the year, you notice that $3 million of the revenue does not come from GPC’s primary operations (i.e., revenue from sales of paper goods). This $3 million in revenue is labeled as timber revenue in GPC’s books. This strikes you as odd because, generally, GPC buys timber. That is, timber is part of the cost of goods sold for GPC and, as such, is an expense. You ask GPC’s controller, Pat Smith, why GPC is recognizing timber revenue? Pat informs you that GPC began diversifying its operations a few years ago. A natural extension of its business seemed to be growing and selling timber. So, five years ago, GPC bought 10,000 acres of land in Alabama and Mississippi for purposes of growing timber. The land was purchased from a previous timber grower that had recently harvested its timber. Immediately after purchasing...

I met a student’s mother this week while attending a meeting. I started researching for more social stories on communication So this week was slow again because of the academic award ceremony. The first two periods were pretty empty of students so I mostly did research for the social stories. I honestly never knew how hard it was to find paper social stories. With everything being on line now it’s a nightmare. Looking at from a social worker perspective this is a barrier for the student. The student cant afford an I-pad and the school does not...

...By comparing life between living on a farm and living in the city, we’ll always ask questions like; what is the better place? Each of these places have something special and unique. In both places, people are interested in the same things; such as, literature, science and art. The choice for a living place is very individual and depends on one’s personal values. I prefer the city life, but there are some factors that one must consider before choosing between the two; environments, lifestyles, and family values. The beauty of farms can’t be compared with modern cities. Farms have better air quality, more vegetation, and are quiet and peaceful. Also, farms are usually surrounded by a lot of nature’s gifts; such as, trees and animals. A person living on a farm identifies and prioritizes their essentials much more so than their desires. For example, a farmer is more concerned by what he is going to eat than what he is going to wear. It is also important how the farm will succeed. The lay out of city life is more modern in style. Usually, the view in a city is of high buildings, it is loud and not green, but it does offer more conveniences. City life is better described as fast paced, peer pressured and work pressured. In the city, there are a variety of universities, colleges, schools, museums and theaters. These days, people usually prefer the modern lifestyle. People in the city tend to give their everyday needs the same priority as their materialistic desires. City dwellers...

...ETM 500 İletişim Presentation of Ertuğrul Koç Yiğit Ömer Altıntaş 2013712330 Communication and Writing Skills For many years, in the masses of people there has been made a stereotype of the working engineer. This is a person who spends ten hours straight in front of his computer, making some strange graphs and calculations. He is afraid of sunlight and spends his free time inventing the time machine. When people try to start a conversation he says that he has a lot of work to do and tries to run away as fast as possible. This picture may be a little exaggerated, but it is how media and television draw it. But today, engineers need communication and writing skills even more than actual engineering. Any engineering career starts from the resume writing. Usually a resume consists of two parts: the list of things that you have done well in your life and the cover letter. Dr. Craig Gunn, a professor of mechanical engineering, clearly explains, “Many big companies do not require the cover letter, but it will be much better for you to write one, because if a manager will read it for some reason, your chances to get a job will be a lot higher.” A person that is going to give you a job will not see you directly, so you have to convince him or her not to throw your resume in the basket by presenting all of your best qualities in the resume...

...Recession "This time is really different. Large and small are all affected. In the past, the big waves would only wash away the sand and leave the rocks. Now the waves are so big, even some rocks are being washed away." - Cheung Yan, co founder and Chairwoman of Nine Dragons Paper2 The first week of January, 2009, was proving to be a challenge for Nine Dragon’s Paper. The company had to repeatedly deny rumors that it was on the edge of bankruptcy. A variety of media reports over the past two weeks had reported that the company’s inability to service its debt would lead to a bankruptcy filing. Incorporated in Hong Kong in 1995, Nine Dragons Paper (Holdings) Limited, had become an international powerhouse in the paper industry. The company's primary product was linerboard, with a product line including kraftlinerboard, testlinerboard and white top linerboard in a portfolio of paperboard products used to manufacture consumer product packaging. The company had expanded rapidly and spent extensively. But by January 2009 the world economy was spiraling downward. Squeezed by market conditions and burdened by debt, Nine Dragons Paper (NDP), the largest paperboard manufacturer in Asia and second largest in the world, saw its share price drop to HK$ 2.33, 90% off its high and less than half of book value. As the economic crisis of 2008 bled into 2009, export-oriented industries suffered. Rumors had been buzzing since October that NDP was on the ropes. It was carrying so much debt that more...

...Harvard Business School 9-297-005 Rev. October 18, 1996 D O Private Equity Investment in Russia: Alliance Cellulose Limited N In April, 1995, portfolio managers were reassessing the investment climate in Russia. Since the disintegration of Communism and the Soviet Union in 1991, western investors had been intrigued by the potentially huge returns that could be gained by participating in the restructuring of the Russian economy. Russia’s transformation to a market system, however, had been highlighted by missteps and disappointments. Foreign investors who had jumped into the market only eight months earlier were burned badly by a general market collapse in October. Furthermore, Russia’s political and economic future were uncertain. O Nevertheless, Russia possessed many attractive features that could reward those with the courage to invest at this early stage of market development. Russia’s natural resources accounted for significant portions of the world’s proven oil and gas, timber, coal, and minerals reserves. In addition, the privatization process, lack of internal capital, and country-specific risk resulted in valuations for Russian companies that seemed to be small fractions of their world peers. T Russia in 1995 was frequently compared to America’s “Wild West,” when the search for riches and general lawlessness combined to create very volatile conditions. While western money managers were drawn to Russia by tantalizing asset valuations...
