...Due to Karina having a medical condition that requires her to take steroids, I would deem her disabled under the ADA. Karina taking these steroids and other medications has made her body gain weight making her unable to wear the uniform properly, the stockings and heels. Due to her condition she has back, circulatory system, and endurance problems throughout the day. According to Karina’s doctor, her condition prevents her from wearing the stocking and heels. Karina is technically disabled due to her condition. The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 prevents any discrimination against those who are challenged physically due to disability, which would be Karina. Although her symptoms do not prevent her from performing her daily work activities. Her employer cannot hold against her the fact that she has to take this medication to relieve her pain. If Karina’s employer is willing to compromise with her about a solution that will accommodate her and her medical condition then she will able to still hold her position in the front of the store and working the register as she is required to do. The company could allow Karina to wear flat black shoes or black tennis shoes with black slacks to show that she is an employee. Due to the company knowing about Karina’s condition they should have to make accommodations for her. In Karina’s case having her wear a different type of uniform, slacks, flats, tennis shoes, will not hurt the company in any way it will just allow for Karina...

...disability so as to continue their employment. In this instance with Karina as the employee it is not for me to determine her disability, so I would first have her bring in her medical records or doctor’s statement stating what her condition or disability is to determine what course of action needs to be implemented to accommodate her situation. According to the ADA Karina has a valid case and is determined to be disabled under the ADA policy. Since Karina has been forthcoming regarding her condition and has expressed her desire to continue working with the company, as the employer I would try to find the best way to accommodate her request. From this I would speak with Karina to discuss what she feels her capabilities or limitations are to determine whether or not she can continue to fulfill her obligations and how we both can move forward. I would then look into her evaluations and performance over the past years that she has worked with the company, then consider her current job skills and find out whether or not she is qualified for any other open positions (if there are any) in the company so that she could make a lateral move that would accommodate her situation. In the event that there are no other positions open at the time then I would try to implement some type of training for her to go through so as to be transferred to an alternate position or department. In the interim of this transitional phase Karina could go out on a flexible leave, short term disability and or long...

...Max Britt Dr. Kurt Steinbaugh 20 Seconds of Joy In my Freshmen Seminar class, my class has been watching several different documents involving extreme sports and giving our opinion about each one. Today we watched a documentary about a woman named Karina Hollekim who is a famous base jumping from Sweden. At first I thought it was not that extreme of a sport but after watching the film, it totally changed my opinion. A sport where one little mistake could end your life right then and there and why people do this sport just amazes me. The film is all about this one particular jumper who is a female named Karina Hollekim that is, in my opinion, nuts simply because she just goes out and just jumps off cliffs like it’s nothing! According to a base jumping website, the chances of dying while base jumping is 1 in every 2,300 jumps! When Karina was asked about if she just does not care about death, she responds with “I don't want to die. I want to live. I am pretty good at running away and B.A.S.E. jumping is my escape." It is evident that she is just simply addicted to base jumping and the adrenaline rush it gives while performing the sport. The video continues to show video of Karina base jumping until one day she faces a traumatic base jumping accident where she ends up basically destroying her whole right leg in the accident. Doctors said that she would never be able to walk again, but with her determination and support from others, she would recover but with a metal rod placed...

...Irma, Alondra, and Samuel arrived at the Station, at which time I conducted an interview with Alondra. Irma and Samuel were both present during the interview. Alondra related that approximately two (2) weeks ago Maribel hit her with a belt on the left arm and right thigh over a dispute of her cell phone. I observed bruising on her left arm. Ofc. Cuchna #261 took photos of the rest of Alondra’s injuries, which were later placed into inventory. Ofc. Lara #205 and I conducted an interview with Maribel in regards to the allegation made against her (see supplement). I made contact with Alondra’s sister, who was identified as Torres, Karina DOB 03/16/99. Karina related that Alondra told her that she received the injuries on her arm and leg after fighting with a girl. Karina related that Alondra would hit the injuries to make the bruise appear worst. Karina related that she has observed Alondra and Maribel involved in verbal arguments, but they were never physical. I contacted DCFS at 2100 hours and spoke with Megan W. and provided the facts of the case. Megan W. related due to the conflicting stories on how Alondra received the injuries DCFS would not be opening an investigation. Megan provided an intake number of 13472208. Alondra went home with her Maribel back to their residence. Nothing further to report. ...

...Date: Tue, 12 FEB 2008 07:01:02 +0000 From: "Karina Ramirez" Subject: Payroll Info Here is the information you requested on our payroll processing: 1. All hourly employees (clerical and warehouse personnel) are paid biweekly (every 10 workdays) based on hours recorded on time cards maintained by a time clock machine. The time cards are approved by the supervisors. The supervisors take the approved time cards to the payroll department. Salaried employees also are paid biweekly based on a salary schedule approved by the finance committee of the board of directors. 2. The personnel department must approve all new hires, terminations, and hourly rate changes. Forms for each of these actions also are approved by appropriate supervisors and are kept in the personnel office. The personnel clerks notify payroll of the changes by a “payroll change” document. 3. The payroll department maintains the individual employees’ payroll records and the forms signed by employees for all pay deductions. 4. Every two weeks, Martha, a clerk in the payroll department, prepares the payroll register (multicopy) from the time cards and the information of the individual payroll records. Martha uses a “write-it-once” system that also prepares a form indicating gross pay, each deduction, net pay, and year-to-date totals. Martha calls this form the “take-home sheet.” Willie, a second clerk, checks Martha’s work and recalculates the gross pay and all deductions. 5. Two copies of the payroll register...

...I am a student at a Community College. I am currently enrolled in a speech class. In this speech class, we were required to present a persuasive speech. This fourteenth of November, I evaluated a speech given by a classmate, Karina Cervantes. Ms. Cervantes chose to speak about Electronic Distractions while driving. My evaluation of her speech will determine its effectiveness. If the speaker hopes to give an effective speech, they must know how to choose a topic. Topic selection is an important element to giving a successful speech. In selecting a topic, the speaker should be required in knowing the audience’s likes and dislikes. Doing so should help the speaker catch the audience’s attention. As mentioned before, Ms. Cervantes chose Electronic Distractions while driving as her topic. Ms. Cervantes spoke about the dangers of being distracted while driving. She was able to provide both problems and solutions of her topic. Her speech was sturdy as she gave her own real life experience, and consequences that appeared within. Being organized while preparing and giving a speech helps both the speaker and the audience. To have an organized speaker helps the audience maintain the information more clearly. An organize speech not only looks professional, but also helps the speaker follow a guide. Ms. Cervantes followed a guideline and organized her speech dividing it in sections. Her introduction had an exceptional attention getter. Starting off her speech with the words, “Could you...

...Why Does The Location of School Affect Academic Performance? Written and Directed by Abigail Torres, Karina De La Rosa, Virginia Osueke, and Yamileth Maldonado. Virginia Osueke: The state of Texas faces a big problem with dropout rates. HISD is the largest school district in Houston and is ranked the seventh largest in the nation. HISD has not been able to solve the problem but tries to find ways and strategies to fix it. It is sad that due to the location of a school for example, a school in a low economic area student will perform lower than average because the parents are less educated and students have problems to deal with at home causing them to be absent or they are less involved and less engaging in their own education. When students live in poverty and go to the school in which they reside or their zoned school the school may not have lots of funding or may have poor infrastructure. The students may be cheated of their education because they are not learning what they should learn in the correct grade level. Some students who may be doing exceptionally well may go to college with scholarships only to find out that their level of education is lower than the recommended level they should have. This can cause student to drop out or have future college problems. When schools are not adequately funded students are not able to get the best resource and learn two or three grade levels below their actual grade level. Some believe that maybe teachers are the main reason...

...won’t become very wealthy, this simply implies that a person who go to college will find jobs with better money income easier since they are more educated than people that haven’t gone to college. Norman 3 College is a wonderful way of meeting new people, exploring the world, and getting to find what you want to do in your life. Not only do you get to have fun and get to live life the way you want to live your life, but you get to discover who you are and what you want to do.

...Capital Punishment: Why Death Penalty Is Morally Permissable Capital Punishment: Why the Death Penalty is Morally Permissible Karina Morgan April 13, 2010 Professor Mark Reynolds PHI 206 Sec. 04 Word Count: 1,910 Syllogism for Argument: 1. Every human has a right to life 2. But this right is not absolute because a person’s life can be overridden for good reasons 3. So the right of life does not hold in every situation no matter what 4. One of these situations includes taking the life of another innocent human 5. Therefore, it is morally permissible to set the right to life aside, and use the death penalty, if they took the life of an innocent human. Outline I. The Death Penalty -Thesis- Although all humans have the right to life, there are certain situations that can overrule this right, such as taking the life of an innocent human. Since the right of life does not hold in every situation and if an innocent human’s life is taken, then it is morally permissible to set the right to life aside and use the death penalty on the person who committed murder. II. Pro-Death Penalty A. Retribution a. The death penalty is the best way in order to serve justice to convicted murderers of innocent people. b. The families and friends of victims will feel more secure if justice is served. c. There will be no worry about the murderer being able to commit more murders or to have any chance of receiving parole. B. Deterrence ...

...My name is Karina. I was born and raised in the beautiful country of Kazahstan, which is located in the Central Asia and was the part of the former Soviet Union. I finished High School there and attended four-year college for about two years. I was majoring in Customs Law, but I didn't finish it, because my mother won a lottery Green-card (permanent residence in USA) and we decided to move to America. I have only one older brother. His name is Ulan. Hi is 30 years old. We are very close to each other, although he is four years older than I am. Unfortunately, he is not here with us right know, because according to the US law, children over 21 years old are not eligible for the green- card, so he stayed in Kazahstan. My father died a year ago of stroke. He was just 54 years old. I still can not believe that he is gone. I still miss him and he will always be in my heart. I and my mother came to the United States four years ago. We live together in Brooklyn. She is very strong and good person. She is the one who influenced me to go to the college. English is not my first language, so I was afraid that I wouldn't do well at school. She kept saying to me that I'll do well and that she believes in me. And here I'm at the LaGuardia Community College today, majoring in Paralegal studies. This is my third semester here. Now I feel more confident about myself, because I passed all courses that I have been taking and received good grades and try to do my best to keep doing it. I'm a very...

...Laura Karina Cardenas CCJ 250 9:10 February 1st, 2016 Assignment #1 When asking a group of people to define what crime is, you are going to get a variety of answers because everyone has a different option or perspective of what crime really is. Some may say that crime is as extreme as taking someone’s life while others might think it’s something less extreme like getting a speeding ticket or even littering. I don’t think any crime is too irrelevant or too extreme, committing a crime is committing a crime pain and simple. If I could define crime in my own words I would say that crime is any action that doesn’t follow the guidelines of social norms or an act that is looked down upon or prohibited that could potentially get you arrested or even put in prison. My definition is based more off moral harm because to me if you have to think to yourself, “Should I be doing this?” or “Is this a bad idea?” that should be your red flag to stop whatever you were going to do and not do it. I don’t understand how people have the ability to take another human beings life. That alone goes against many people’s personal moral beliefs. Morals are like a code of conduct set up by society to keep things or chaos in order and I believe that if you cross that line, that would define a crime. But I also believe that some crimes are based of the degree of danger to society. For example, drinking and driving not only is it morally wrong to do because you could put yourself in danger but you could...

...James McCarver Professor Ms. Karina Cadora English 1301 29 January 2016 Where I live: Sicily! Sicily is the largest island of the Mediterranean Sea. Some people refer to it as the “rock that the boot is kicking”. It is separated from Reggio Calabria by the Strait of Messina. The bridge connecting Reggio Calabria to Sicily is still a dream even though they have been promising this bridge for over 20 years. They have started construction, and it is impossible to say when or if it will ever be completed. Unfortunately organized crime exists here in Sicily, you won’t actually see it because it has become that subtle. The mafia continues to exercise its negative influence on Sicily and beyond. Most of the businesses such as shops, hotels and restaurants are forced to pay the “pizzo”, that means protection money. This extortion keeps the Sicilian people relatively poor among the Italian regions. Also you will find political corruption, the theft of public money and taxes. Yet there are business owners willing to fight against extortion. With the special protection of police and virulent public support, a growing number of business owners are operating with no mafia influence. Although the mafia has deep roots in and around Sicily, this island still has an abundance of things to offer. The Mediterranean climate with abundant sunshine, balanced rainfall, fertile soils, all create the perfect conditions for quality agriculture. The main products in Sicily are citrus...
