...Legislative Summary: Lord’s Day Act Lord’s Day Act Is a Territorial Act The Act exists because the Privy Council in England struck down all Canadian provincial Sunday closing laws, on the grounds that these constituted criminal legislation, which by the BNA belonged exclusively to the Federal government. A campaign, joined not only by Protestant churches but also the Roman Catholic hierarchy and the labour movement, was organized to persuade the Federal government to enact Lord's Day legislation (wrights, 1). The Act was passed in 1906. The act was set up to prohibit sport, entertainment, and almost all commerce on Sundays. The legislation impacted the citizens of Canada. It regulated what people could do on Sundays. It also affected the businesses of Canada that they could not make money 7 days a week. The legislation was changed on Apr 24, 1985 - The Supreme Court of Canada found that the Lord's Day Act was contrary to the freedom of religion guaranteed in the Charter of Rights. In the Yukon the Act still exists as stated in the REVISED STATUTES OF THE YUKON 2002 in Chapter 142. It is not enforced though in the Yukon. The intended results of the act were to give people a day of rest within the working week. It was influenced by the Churches in Canada. The influence came from their history from their original countries of origin like England. The indirect results of the act were that the non-religious people were not able to shop on Sunday’s. The result of the act...

...Employment Law ------------------------------------------------- Rojo and Toland IRAC Curt Marchione HROB 153 (Section 3) May 19, 2015 Factual Summary of Rojo v. Kliger Rojo v. Kliger, 801 P.2d 373 (Cal. 1990) Plaintiffs Emma Rojo and Teresa Maloney were employed as assistants by defendants Erwin H. Kliger, a practicing physician, and Erwin H. Kliger, M.D., a medical corporation (hereafter referred to collectively as defendant). In August 1986, there was a complaint filed by the plaintiffs against the defendant. The plaintiff accused the defense of violating FEHA and “intentional infliction of emotional distress”. The Plaintiffs alleged that during their employment the defendant subjected them to sexually harassing remarks and demands for sexual favors. These remarks resulted in the plaintiffs being forced to leave their employment. Defense moved for summary judgment due to the fact that, “FEHA constituted plaintiffs' exclusive remedy and that plaintiffs had failed to exhaust their administrative remedies under the act.” Plaintiffs argued, “FEHA does not supplant other state law remedies, including common law claims, relating to discrimination in employment, and that pursuit of the administrative remedy is not a condition precedent to judicial relief.” The trial court granted defendant's motion and entered summary judgment in Defendant’s favor. However, Court of Appeal reversed the judgment. They asserted that, “FEHA does not preempt or preclude other state law...

...Summary The woods in the forests grow old and their leaves fall to the ground. Man is born, works the earth, and then dies and is buried underground. Yet the speaker, Tithonus, is cursed to live forever. Tithonus tells Aurora, goddess of the dawn, that he grows old slowly in her arms like a “white-hair’d shadow” roaming in the east. Tithonus laments that while he is now a “gray shadow” he was once a beautiful man chosen as Aurora’s lover. He remembers that he long ago asked Aurora to grant him eternal life: “Give me immortality!” Aurora granted his wish generously, like a rich philanthropist who has so much money that he gives charity without thinking twice. However, the Hours, the goddesses who accompany Aurora, were angry that Tithonus was able to resist death, so they took their revenge by battering him until he grew old and withered. Now, though he cannot die, he remains forever old; and he must dwell in the presence of Aurora, who renews herself each morning and is thus forever young. Tithonus appeals to Aurora to take back the gift of immortality while the “silver star” of Venus rises in the morning. He now realizes the ruin in desiring to be different from all the rest of mankind and in living beyond the “goal of ordinance,” the normal human lifespan. Just before the sun rises, Tithonus catches sight of the “dark world” where he was born a mortal. He witnesses the coming of Aurora, the dawn: her cheek begins to turn red and her eyes grow so bright that they...

The abstract is typically a short summary of the contents of the document. Type the abstract of the document here. The abstract is typically a short summary of the contents of the document.] | Introduction: The purpose of this practical is to investigate the effect of varying the available concentration of sodium bicarbonate on the rate of photosynthesis in ivy leaf discs. The rate of photosynthesis can be increased or decreased in many different ways. One method in particular, by adding substances like alkaline or salt to the water, you can increase or decrease the acidity or basics, if the water has too much acidity, it can often delay the rate of photosynthesis, often stopping the rate of photosynthesis in the plant, which will possibly lead to killing the plant. Ivy leaf disks will float normally, when the air spaces are infiltrated with solution the overall density of the leaf disk increases and the disk sinks. The infiltration solution includes a small amount of sodium bicarbonate. Bicarbonate ion serves as the carbon source for photosynthesis. As photosynthesis proceeds oxygen is released into the interior of the leaf which changes the buoyancy, causing the disks to rise. Since cellular respiration is taking place at the same time, consuming oxygen, the rate which the disks raise is an indirect measurement of the net rate of photosynthesis...

...freedom facing greatest threat: Google founder Summary: The co-founder of Google, Sergey Brinn, said “the principles of openness and universal access that underpinned the Internet’s creation are facing their greatest threat.” Brinn said that the threat to freedom of the Internet came from various factors including government effort to control access and communication. The attempts by the entertainment industry to stop piracy and the rise of restricting platforms such as Facebook and Apple which determines which type of software can be released are also leading to greater restrictions. Facebook and Apple’s can contribute to stifling innovation and lead to the fragmentation of the webverse. Significance: Why is there a want for a free unrestrained internet? Why is openness good? The internet is abstract in its idea, an abstract form that encompasses the entire world connecting people from across the globe. The concept is so enormous and the possibilities within leads people to believe it to be as a sort of uncharted territory where the possibilities are endless. This realm can be used for entertainment, business, black market dealings, and innovation. Restriction on the internet closes the idea of the internet itself and for many who have been so accustomed to its freedom find it unsettling. http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-0414-ucsd-harassment-20120414,0,5116422.story U.S. ends probe of racial bias at UC San Diego Summary: UC San Diego officials have reached an agreement...

...NAME: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Apple Inc. is an American company whose reach is multinational. Apple designs, manufacturers personal computers, consumer electronics, software, as well as services related to each of the primary areas just discussed. Apple’s 2013 10-K reports that “The Company designs, manufacturers, and markets mobile communication and media devices, personal computes, and portable digital music players, and sells a variety of related software, services, peripherals, networking solutions, and third-party digital content and applications. Despite the MP3 players having already been introduced to the world, it was not until Apple released its version of what it felt an MP3 player should look and feel like that the mass market took notice. Apple released its initial MP2 player, its iPod, in 2001. Since the release of that product, Apple has experienced a ridiculous amount of growth. In fact, Apple has been listed as one of the most successful electronics companies in the world (Apple’s 2013 10-K). With Steve Jobs back in control at Apple, The Company did anything but rest on its laurels. Of these primary areas in which Apple focuses, the most important of these is its communication and media devices division.

They have seen a steady decline in total profits, sales, and a weakening of their corporate image. To add to their troubles, New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo, and a growing number countrywide are in the process of approving a bill almost doubling the minimum wage for fast food workers from $8.75 to $15. The problem is, knowing that there will be a dramatic increase in salary expenses in the next few years, how can McDonald’s alter its business practices and remain competitive? The legislation, as written dictates that: “…in New York City, hourly pay would increase to: * $10.50 on Dec. 31; * $12 on Dec. 31, 2016; * $13.50 on Dec. 31, 2017 * $15.00 on Dec. 31, 2018.

..."Rock Around the Clock" "Rock Around the Clock" is a rock and roll song written in 1952. And the version that we have just listened to was recorded by Bill Haley and His Comets in 1954. Compared with the first recording by another band and the various cover versions afterwards, Haley recording is considered as to be the best-known and most successful rendition of the song. When first released in the spring of 1954, it gained only limited sales. However, the song was popularized by its use in the social commentary film “Blackboard Jungle” in 1955 and became an anthem for the rebellious Fifties youth. Haley's recording of "Rock Around the Clock" is generally labeled to be the song that, more than any other, brought rock and roll into mainstream culture around the world. Popular music of the 1950s When the 1950s are mentioned, the first type of music to come to most people's minds is rock 'n roll. But music in the fifties was more than just rock 'n roll. The early 1950s era Pop music focusd on the song’s story and emotional delivery and was essentially a continuation of the crooner sound of the previous decade. Crooner sound refers to the sentimental songs, especially the love songs of the 1930s and 1940s It was not until the middle of the decade, Rock and roll entered the mainstream and became a major force in American record sales. And with a series of network television appearances and chart-topping records, popular artists such as Bill Haley, Elvis Presley...

This means we have to watch the sentiment of foreign investors carefully. [pic] If we compare the size of mkt cap of each country, Thai stock mkt is quite small, being No.7 of Asia. But when we see the share turnover (or amount of volume), Thai stock mkt is significantly liquid, being No.3 of Asia, so foreign investors are quite interested in Thai stock mkt. (Info is as of July 2011) Thus, when foreign investors around the world are interested in Thai stock market, this will be an opportunity to invest earlier as when fund flows move to Thailand, the overall stock performance in SET will sharply increase.

...Executive Summary – American Airlines The future of American Airlines remains uncertain after a lieu of mistakes and misfortunes. American Airlines’ parent company, AMR, filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy in November of last year after recording net losses of $2.1 billion, $1.5 billion, and $471 million in 2008, 2009, and 2010 respectively. Also, with AMR’s previous CEO declaring retirement, new CEO Tom Horton was named. In the wake of their financial predicament, American Airlines is also having PR, managerial, and maintenance problems. The pilot union is demanding an industry standard contract that includes salary and job security provisions. The inability of AA to negotiate a deal, along with thousands of job cuts, has left many American Airlines’ employees bitter. In recent months, flight attendants have engaged in very inappropriate public rants and rude behavior consequently causing delays among flights and irate customers. In addition to the behavioral issues, several planes have had to make emergency landings due to loose seats and other incidents of insufficient inspection. In July, five AA passengers had to be hospitalized after encountering turbulence during a flight. American Airlines’ fleet of aircrafts has an average age of 15 years. These aged carriers are inefficient energy consumers and multiply costs. American Airlines has openly declared their opposition to a merger with US Airways, although, the final decision rests with AMR and negotiations are still in progress...
