...For Writing 39B, we were assigned a project that allowed us to present our knowledge of the genre conventions that are used in the genre of Noir. We read the novel Double Indemnity throughout the course, and we also watched its film adaption. For this project, I decided to write a script that portrayed a man’s struggles of trying to make a name for himself in the show business in Las Vegas. Through his struggles, the message that I presented in my script is that the difficulty of accomplishing one’s dream often drive people to commit unlawful acts. The process of this project was rather difficult because I was lacking inspiration. My initial rough draft of the project was a TV show pitch. However, that initial rough draft was incompetent, and...

...write. This look formal and official. For this RIP project, I conceive the story first. I want it to fit the theme noir, so I made up a dark and suspenseful story. This story took place in Los Angeles because it’s a key place that represents noir. The setting is in the background of underlying crime of the society. Characters lack of s sense of security about the future and evil can extricate themselves. The text is full of darkness, crime series, and femme fatale in order to fit genre noir. I choose this audience and rhetor because it’s related to the text, and those two characters are the main characters, and makes this text more mysterious. I made up this story based on those noir fictions that I’ve read in class before, like Double Indemnity and The Big Sleep. According to Roger Ebert, I’ve learned some features of noir genre. Ebert said, “Women who would just as soon kill you as love you, and vice versa.” I mirror this sentence as my character Mrs. Chanler, who loves her husband, but dissatisfied their living actuality, so she sleeps with her husband’s boss and tries to kill him. He also said, “Locations that reek of the night, of shadows, of alleys, of the back doors of fancy places, of apartment buildings with a high turnover rate, of taxi drivers and bartenders who have seen it all.” I was inspire by this, so I decided to set the place in a gabling place. The boss is a underground mafia, so it makes my text full of darkness and shadows that reflect genre noir. Mrs....

...Sports Marketing Company, a competitor of Cooper-Pearson. During the exit interviews, one of the reasons that was consistently mentioned as a reason for leaving was the lack of adequate or affordable medical insurance. Cooper-Pearson Sports Marketing managers have come to understand that a competitive compensation package must include medical benefits that employees want and can afford. They also understand that medical insurance has become an important recruitment tool in attracting quality employees. Like the company, quality coverage is extremely important, but so is cost.

...BUS220 Ethical Business Challenge Chapter 5 Zyedego faces legal issues by hiring truck drivers such as if the employee has any infractions while on the job, which would cost the company money, the company would be responsible for that and whatever the insurance that covered the employee or company would not be willing to pay, such as in this instant, when there is a natural disaster, and insurance companies are not able to pay full claims. They also face ethical issues from the families of these or the employees themselves if something were to happen to the employee while on the job, whether the work was being required or not, that insurance companies may not be able to cover anything that happened, which could ultimately put that persons family at a great loss as well. Both of these mentioned issues could potentially have lawsuits against the company as well in worse case scenarios. I believe that Peter should recommend to Gwyn that unless she was able to get Dana to provide the correct documents required for her job, that they would try to hold her position until she could, without pay, or give her the option to go ahead and go to work for a competitor and offer her the severance pay. During a time that the company is not able to provide complete coverage if something were to happen to her on the job, and being that she is pregnant, could cost the company more money, especially if the insurance company required for her to prove her citizenship before being able to pay...

...COURSE: MBA SEMESTER: Final DATE: Oct. 13, 2010. Indemnity “A contract of indemnity is one in which the party sought to be made liable him or herself undertakes a primary liability to make good another’s loss, which loss may or may not result from the act of another (third) person”. “An expressed or implied contract to compensate an individual for loss or damage; for example, an insurance policy”. “A contract by which one party promises to save other from loss caused to him by the conduct of the promisor or by the conduct of any other person is called a contract of indemnity”. Essentials of contract of indemnity An indemnity is a personal security undertaking given by a third party, but under an indemnity the surety’s obligation is independent of debtor/creditor relationship. It is therefore a primary liability, not dependent on the debtor’s default. Indemnity is not given by repayment after payment. Indemnity requires that the party to be indemnified shall never be called upon to pay. In a contract of indemnity not only is there no requirement for a default by a third party as a condition of liability but there may not even be a third party involved for either the creation or exercise of the right. Indemnity holder Indemnifier Guarantee When getting a bank loan, a person is often asked to provide a guarantee. Guarantee an indemnity are often used to reinforce each other. “A contract of guarantee is an undertaking...

...Guaranteed Asset Protection Waiver WAIVER FOR PREMIER LIFESTYLE PROTECTION PLAN The benefits of the Premier Lifestyle Protection plan have been fully explained to me. I understand that in the event of me suffering financial loss as a result of being unable to attend to my normal business or occupation due to death, accident, illness, redundancy, hospitalisation, suspension, business interruption or bankruptcy, the benefits of this policy may assist to meet my loan repayments. However, notwithstanding this I hereby waive and decline all such benefits. a Confidence for the road ahead T.M FINANCING A MOTOR VEHICLE? Sometimes when your vehicle is declared a total loss by your comprehensive insurer there’s the risk that the insurance payout may be less than the balance owing under your finance contract. This is called a loan equity shortfall. To ensure that you minimise this risk, we can extend your cover to pay the difference between the insurance payout (subject to a total loss) and the amount that is still owing on the vehicle, up to $10,000. Ask us to include this special cover. PROTECTION TO ENSURE YOU ARE NOT CAUGHT SHORT It’s always exciting financing the purchase of new assets, making dreams reality and sharing the experience and excitement with friends and family. But circumstances can change over time and in the future you may not be as healthy as you are today or your income may not be as stable as it is at present. It is important therefore that...

...from acquaintances, we did not find it necessary to hire a private inspector to do full inspection prior to the purchase. We bought the house in good faith and believed that the good price for it was due to the fact that the previous owner wanted to sell it immediately before going into foreclosure. Once the house was bought, we had to live the consequences of a house with a leak in the plumbing, a leak in the roof and an addition to it build with no permit at all. As a result, we were shouldered with the financial burden of filing a lawsuit to resolve the matter. Unfortunately, the court decided that we were not entitled to collect any damages because the house was purchased without a home inspection and also because there wasn’t an indemnity clause into the sales contract which stated that if there was a problem, it is the seller, rather than us, who suffers financially. Had we had an inspection report, we would have collected damages. Not only did we spend a fortune on the lawsuit, but we were also fined because we were the legal owners of a house with unpermitted work. Moreover, a private inspector was sent by the city to inspect the extension to the house which was built without regulations approval. We looked into getting building regulations approval and planning permission for the house, but it was determined that the structure might present a safety hazard and we were required to completely tear it down which was very costly. Currently, more and more people in Bulgaria...
