Heather Morrison, a Charlotte North Carolina resident applied for a position at a local Chick Fil A in her hometown. Heather was 6 months pregnant when she was called into the Chick Fil A store for an interview with the store manager of Chick Fil A. During Heather’s interview the store manager consistently focused on the fact that Heather was pregnant and asked Heather numerous questions in regards to her pregnancy, questions concerning time taken of for the birth of the child and also asked questions concerning child care for her child in regards to interfering with her employment at Chick Fil A. 3 days after the inappropriate interview Heather received a phone call from the Chick Fil A Manager informing her that she would not be getting hired for the position and stated that she should call back after she has the child. Because Heather was discriminated against by the store manager, Heather filed a lawsuit against Chick Fil A for discriminating against her because she was pregnant. This has not only tarnished Chick Fil A’s image but they were forced to pay Heather $10,000 and undergo much scrutiny from the media and EEOC and also undergo annual training in regards to hiring practices and specifically the hiring or pregnant females.

...Galloway, Karisa ECS 101 Community Binder For the Community Resource Binder project I chose to interview Tri-Counties Regional Center about their speech therapy program. Tri-Counties has many different programs that branch off of their business. They help families in need that have children with disabilities. These disabilities can go from speech delay to a child with a mental disability. They have many professionals in the field that go out of their way to help families as best as they can to make life just a little bit easier for them and their child. My daughter and I have personally gotten to experience this ourselves, and I am still very pleased with their services. Every business has a mission they would like to achieve. With Tri-Counties their mission is to provide support for their families to make life, working, and learning easier. Tri-Counties does their best to meet all the needs of their families that they can. They begin with evaluating the child to see in what way they need help or if they do need any help. After the evaluation they decide in what areas the child needs help and go from there. The program that I chose to interview about was speech therapy. The program is funded by the government and they are a Public agency. As I was interviewing Heather Agrusa, I could hear in her voice how confident she was telling me about her job and the programs. Heather is about 28 years old and works as the Early Start Service Coordinator at Tri- Counties Regional Center...

...were not included in the decision-making process for new hires of assistant store directors. When Tricia was initially hired she was hired as an assistant store director, by the district manager of Personal Reflections. Tricia completed the initial two weeks of training; she was then assigned to be one of three assistant directors at the Sioux City, Iowa store. Heather Munson, the current director of the store in Sioux City, was not consulted about Tricia’s placement; it is company policy that store directors were not involved in the decision of placement. Because of this company policy Tricia and Heather did not have a good working relationship. While Heather was the store director, the store constantly failed to meet sales goals. The sales floor seemed to be messy and cluttered; the clutter and confusion of the sale’s floor made it difficult for customers and employees to find the merchandise they needed. Upon arriving at the store location this was an immediate concern for Tricia. Tricia implemented a plan and strategy to remedy the sale’s floor issues only to be met with argumentativeness and scolding by Heather. Just over a month after Tricia...

...a career change. After her relocation, she applied for an assistant director position with a company called Personal Reflections and was offered the position just hours after her interview. She accepted the job offer and received a two week training which was extremely helpful for her, being that she had no experience in a managerial role. Tricia began her role in her new position on August 1. It started off rocky, almost immediately, and in a matter of months things took a drastic turn with her new job. The store that Tricia worked for was apart of a National Chain. Each location was ranked on a level 1-4 based on its sale revenue with one being the highest. The Sioux City location was a level 3 store under the direction of Heather Munson. Before Tricia even began her position, Munson had already felt disgruntle at the fact that she was never included in the selection process for hiring the three assistant directors for her store. Munson and Tricia’s work relationship started off on a bad note. Every encounter that Tricia had with Heather made her feel as though she was being questioned. Tricia made an effort to bring some structure to the disorderly, messy store and was reprimanded by Heather for doing something that Heather had not instructed her to do. Matters between Tricia and Heather worsened after the other assistant director resigned, leaving two vacant positions for assistant directors. It was only one month into her employment and Tricia was contemplating...

...telephone calls, and spoken conversations. Melinda's communication is mostly non-verbal. She expresses anxiousness and fear by biting her lip or running away. She asks her parents for favors by writing them notes. Even when she speaks, she often does not say what she wants to. When Heather tells Melinda that they can no longer be friends, Melinda says, "I try to think of something bitchy, something wicked and cruel. I can't" . Of course, the most major communication conflict in the novel involves Melinda's need to tell someone about the rape. It is not until the Fourth Marking Period that Melinda finds the courage to say anything. Interestingly, however, in this initial confession of her secret, she still does not speak. Instead, she passes a note to Rachel explaining the night of the party. Even after her second attack, when the entire school learns of her history with Andy Evans, Melinda still has not spoken, the lacrosse team has. It is not until the very last line of the novel that we understand Melinda is going to finally tell her story out loud. The ultimate communication in the story is distinctly left out of the novel, making the theme even more apparent. Laurie Halse Anderson once said in an interview, "I've learned that Speak is not just a book about rape. Speak is a book about depression." Depression is the unspokentheme that defines Melinda's behavior for much of the novel. While she does exhibit some obvious external signs, such as cutting her wrist with a paperclip, much...

...2013; 27; 422–432 Repressed and silent suffering: consequences of childhood sexual abuse for women’s health and well-being Research results indicate that psychological trauma in childhood caused by child sexual abuse can have serious and widespread consequences for health and well-being. The purpose of this study was to examine the consequences of childhood sexual abuse for women’s health and well-being. The research methodology was phenomenology. Seven women with a history of childhood sexual abuse were interviewed twice with 1–6 months interval. For all the women, the abuse started when they were between 4 and 5. All of them were repeatedly violated and traumatized ever since then and were even still being victimized at the time of the interviews. The main result of the study is that time does not heal all wounds. All the women described great repressed and silent suffering in all aspects of life, and the abuse is still seriously affecting them and their loved ones. As children, they had learning problems, experienced bullying and had unexplained physical symptoms. In adulthood, they have been suffering multiple physical and psychological symptoms: five of them have fibromyalgia; all of them have been suffering chronic and widespread pain; they have all been dealing with...

...Unix Access Heather Flores POS355 Sept 8, 2014 Alicia Pearlman Unix Access In the Unix system it is “very simple to set permissions via groups or users at the administrative level” (Finch, 2014). This allows the system administrator the ability to control access to files, folders even whole directories based on the needs of the company and the appropriate tier of access for the user. Given the scenario presented: “a system that supports 5,000 users. Suppose that you want to allow 4,990 of those users to be able to access one file. Suggest another protection scheme that can be used more effectively for this purpose than the scheme provided by UNIX®?” There are a couple of options available to the system administrator. The first option is to allow access to all users and then create a group of the users that do not need access and deny them access to the directory that contains the file. For this, though, the best practice in Windows is always to create permissions at a directory and group level. “When you start putting permissions on individual files and giving permission to individual users things can get dicey in a large environment”. (Finch, 2014) Another option, depending on where those users are located in your environment is that it might be easier to deny access to that file on the network level by making it so they can not even see the directory the file is in. There are a couple of different ways to accomplish that. Denying access at the network level...
