...Christabel, Part III (in fairy tale format) Bracy the bard stood silently, stunned by Sir Leoline’s dismissive and fleeting regard for his warning, albeit a warning that came in a dream. Sir Leoline was never one to question Bracy’s sense, for his sense was always good and accurate. ‘They should not leave today, they should postpone immediately,’ thought Bracy. But that was simply no longer an option. Sir Leoline had made up his mind, it appeared, and there was no changing it. To have led Geraldine away, leaving his beloved daughter Christabel in a puddle of tears and emotional turmoil on the cold castle floor, despite her pleas, was strange behaviour on his part. ‘Something was amyss,’ thought Bracy. Sir Leoline’s behaviour was surprising, for Christabel was the one person Sir Leoline would do anything for. She was his only daughter, and the only living reminder of his dead wife that he so adored. ‘Something terrible is looming over the castle,’ thought Bracy, but he did not know what. Bracy led a wailing Christabel to her bedroom, shaking his head. Moments passed, and Sir Leoline and Geraldine were walking through the castle. Geraldine stopped Sir Leoline suddenly, sobbing quietly. She turned to Sir Leoline and looked deep into his eyes. Her eyes turned snake-like and glared. Sir Leoline did not appear to notice, but only seemed mesmerized. Geraldine began to speak, and expressed her regret for having caused Christabel to act so wildly. ‘I want nothing more than the best for...

...Hwang 1 Jenna Hwang Somin English 1A 18 September 2013 Ways Women Are There were specific views on women of how they were supposed to act to what they were supposed to do with their life. It’s always been this idea that women are the “damsel in distress” in desperate need of saving from a certain “prince charming”. Throughout the years those views have altered quite a bit. Not only are they beautiful and elegant, they are now also powerful while possessing the ability to control their future. As I was growing up, Disney movies and certain people in the media molded my judgment on women in both positive and negative ways. The princesses and actresses showed me how women can be the “damsel in distress”, weak and only necessary for preparing food and bearing children; the “heroin”, powerful and independent; the “eye candy”, a distraction or an object purely for the pleasure of men; and naturally the “Lady”, the superior females who have the positive aspects of both the “eye candy” and “the heroin”. When I was a child the only movies I watched were the classic Disney movies. Those princesses were the female role models that I looked up to. They were always so beautiful with great talent. No matter how horrible the environment in which the princesses grew up, they were always humble and kind to anyone and everyone. On the contrary, some people even say that they are naïve or too nice and that they would have gotten taken advantage of easily if girls were like that in the real...

...TITLE Roy Bickford v. Onslow Memorial Hospital Foundation, INC., (Me. SJC.Saufley.2004) FACTS Bickford and his ex-wife agreed in their separation agreement that each would be responsible for their respective debts as of August 18, 1998. Around September 1998 Bickford’s former stepdaughter received medical treatment from the Onslow Memorial Hospital (in NC), Bickford was billed and when he refused to pay for such treatment was held responsible for it. When Bickford was denied a mortgage due to a negative balance resulting from the medical treatment he contacted the hospital and tried to straighten up his record, but the hospital refused to do so. Bickford sued the Hospital for interference with an economic advantage and intentional infliction of emotional distress. However the hospital wants to dismiss complain because they claim that Maine has no personal jurisdiction over the hospital. Bickford opposed to this motion. After the high court confirmed two of the three traditional factors, they established that Maine protects its residents from harmful negative credit reports inside or outside Maine’s boundaries. ISSUE Should the hospital’s dismissal be allowed or denied? RULE: In order for Maine to have jurisdiction over a nonresident defendant certain conditions must be satisfied. 1) Maine has to have a legitimate interest in the subject matter of this litigation. 2) The defendant could have anticipated litigation in Maine. 3) The exercise of jurisdiction by Maine’s courts...

...illegal, yet alcohol and tobacco are available and regulated? There are many people that support the claim that marijuana is unhealthy and dangerous. There are many who think we need to keep drugs illegal to protect our society from the addictions and diseases that they cause, however this is impossible because we have alcohol and tobacco that is sold in every store. Therefore, these arguments are not consistent with the fact that the two most deadly drugs in U.S. are legal. Alcohol and tobacco have been labeled as more addictive and harmful than marijuana, yet readily available. According to researched done by the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA, 1996), alcohol abuse increases the risk of developing acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The National Institute of Health also suggests that there may be a connection between alcohol consumption and increased risk for cancer (NIH, 2012). Similarly, the Center for Disease Control (2012) reports that nicotine, the active chemical in tobacco, is...

...GM: Running On Empty? 1. The sign of GM’s impending financial distress is first seen in 2005. GM reported a net loss of more than $10 billion and has continued to post annual losses since that time with losses reaching almost $31 billion in 2008. GM's cash flow from operations in 2005 was a negative $16.8 billion. Reviewing GM’s stock price, we can see that the stock price also decreased dramatically started in 2004 to 2008. In 2005, GM’s stock traded around $19 per share and reached the lowest of $1.45 per share on March 2009. 2. Auditors are required to consider evidence obtained and accumulated throughout the audit and make an overall evaluation as to whether substantial doubt exists with respect to the ability of the client to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time not to exceed one year beyond the date of financial statements. Factors that auditors should consider in evaluating potential going-concern uncertainties are: Negative trends, including recurring operating losses, working capital deficiencies, and negative cash flow from operations. Indications of financial difficulties, including default on loans, denial of trade credit from suppliers, restructuring of debts, or arrearages in dividends. Internal matters, including work stoppages or substantial dependence on the success of a particular project or activity. External matters, including legal proceeding; loss of a key franchise, license, or patent; or loss of a major customer or supplier...

...inability to communicate verbally. These stressors can cause non-favorable effects such as increased anxiety levels which can subsequently lead to somatic reactions such as tachycardia, dyspnea, increased blood pressure and patient-ventilator dyssynchrony. Prolonged anxiety levels can also induce psychological effects such as increased fear and inhibitions. This can ultimately affect the patient’s overall capacity to cope with difficult emotions and situations (Richart-Martinez & Perpina-Galvan, 2009). These effects can lead to the need for more sedation which can hinder weaning attempts. The longer a patient is mechanically ventilated the greater the risk of developing Ventilator Associated Pneumonia, (VAP), and Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). VAP is a pneumonia that develops 48 hours or longer after mechanical ventilation. It results from the invasion of the lower respiratory tract and lung parenchyma by microorganisms. Intubation compromises the integrity of the oropharynx and trachea and allows oral and gastric secretions to enter the lower airways. ARDS is a life-threatening lung condition that prevents enough oxygen from getting into the blood. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of stress reducing, non-pharmacologic interventions on mechanically ventilated patients when used in conjunction with pharmacologic interventions to decrease overall anxiety. Research efforts of...

...Industrial/Organizational Psychology Paper PSY/435 December 12, 2011 Neva Wilson Industrial/Organizational Psychology Paper Evolution of Industrial/Organizational Psychology The history of industrial/organization psychology originated in the twentieth century. Experimental psychologists were the first to engage in I/O work. Their main purpose was applying the new principles of psychology to problems in organizations. Two of these experimental psychologists were Hugo Munsterberg and Walter Dill Scott. These two psychologists would be credited as being the main founds of I/O Psychology. Both of these experimental psychologists were university professors who became involved in applying psychology to problems of organizations. An engineer by the name of Frederick Winslow Taylor would have a major influence on the I/O field. Taylor studied employee productivity and developed an approach which he would later call "Scientific Management." Taylor used scientific management to handle production workers in factories. This approach included four principles which would guide organizational practices. Today, his same ideas are still used. Furthermore, two more individuals had an influence on the engineering side combined with psychology. A married couple, Frank and Lillian Gilbreth, studied how individuals perform tasks by combining engineering and psychology. The Gilbreths devised the time and motion study. This incorporated measuring and timing people’s motions in doing tasks...

...Name Kaplan University PA165 – Unit 3 Assignment November 30, 2014 FACTS: Leroy McPhillen was visiting The Bottom’s Up Pub, a place he frequented often, when an inebriated man named John caused a commotion by yelling obscenities at a woman sitting at a table near Leroy. Though the woman ignored the man’s shouting the man began to approach her in an aggressive manner. Mr. McPhillen stopped the man before he reached the woman’s table and invited him for a drink at the bar. The man refused, telling Mr. McPhillen that he should mind his own business, and grabbed the woman by her wrist. It was then that Mr. McPhillen twisted the man’s other arm behind his back carefully and restrained him with a neck hold. John ordered the man to release him, but Mr. McPhillen refused his request to release him. Mr. McPhillen then seated John firmly in a chair and ordered him to remain seated or he would punch him. It was after this that the woman informed Mr. McPhillen that John was her husband. ISSUE: (1) Which intentional torts were committed and (2) what are the defenses available to the tortfeasors? Short answer: John and Leroy are both guilty of committing intentional torts. However, both parties have arguable defenses. More information is needed in regards to the events that took place prior to the man assaulting the woman and the amount of time that John was confined by Mr. McPhliien. Prior to determining the appropriate statues and the defenses each party may present...

George has a contract that guarantees his employment with the Bobcats for a period of 5 years. Jerry, who is George’s boss, wants to get rid of him NOW. Jerry resolves to using tactics to make conditions with the Bobcats uncomfortable for George to entice him to quit. George eventually quits after Jerry turned off his air conditioner in mid-July and convinced others to not speak to George. Jerry also tapped George’s phone and played his personal conversations over the loud speaker. George sues Jerry for Intentional infliction of emotional distress. Issue Presented Under North Carolina Law, is George entitled to compensation based on the relevant facts of what Jerry did to force him to quit or did he fail to prove according to Jerry an adequate basis for liability. Rules In Watson v. Dixon, 130 N.C. App. 47 (1998), Sarah Watson sued Bobby Dixon and Duke University for intentional infliction of emotional distress. A claim for intentional infliction of emotional distress exists “when a defendant’s ‘conduct exceeds all bounds usually tolerated by decent society’ and the conduct causes mental distress of a very serious kind. Watson claimed Dixon made lewd sexual comments, touched her and engaged in inappropriate conduct over a period of several months. Duke University is a defendant because they failed to reprimand...
