...One of the things that I love about God’s word the most is that it is so timeless. Perhaps the reason is, that even though the world changes around us constantly, human nature tends to remain much the same. This evening, I would like to show you what I mean, as we look at a story in God’s word. John 9 Can you imagine what it must be like to be blind? This man was born that way. How do you begin to describe to a blind man, the simple things we take for granted? How do you begin to describe the colors of autumn leaves? How do you describe the yellow buttercups or the white dogwood blossoms or redbuds in the spring? How do you begin to paint a baby blue sky with white fluffy clouds in the mind of someone who has never seen the light of day? How do you describe to him what his parents look like or what he looks like? I wonder, how many times did this young man sit and wonder, “oh, if only I could see?” If only I could be like everyone else. If only I did not have to rely on others to bring me down town where I have to sit and beg. If only I could see so that I could get a job. If only….. Imagine? I’m sorry, but I cannot. In this story that we have just read, is a man, just like that. He is blind and has always been. Along comes this man, the Son of God, who gives to him the one thing that he has never had, his eyesight. Immediately, some of the folks around town notice. Isn’t this the beggar who was blind? Some said, “yes, this is him”. Others...

...Simon Jose Al hajj Mr Nazih Jurr Bad 429 – Operations Management 12 June 2012 Question 1 Analyzing the data in the table proves that not all the audience is satisfied with what is offered while attending a football game. Several complaints were recorded on different matters. Some complained about parking and traffic, others about the seating and that the stadium needs re-innovation because it became old. Most of the people surveyed were students, staff and alumnus, overall they constituted 209 from the 250 people surveyed. Other than the specific questions asked in a survey, people left numerous comments concerning anything they liked or that made their visit an unpleasant one. Some of the comments left: parking a mess, not enough traffic cops, crowded, bad seats, the stadium is ancient, lines are awful, seats stink, great food and friendly ushers. The examples provided demonstrate a statistical sample of the examples given in the table 6.6. Meaning that there are far more complaints than there were accommodations. Moreover, most complaints subjected the poor parking space and traffic in the parking, the ancient quality of the stadium and the seats that were not comfortable to sit in and watch and entire game. Out of the 250 persons surveyed during the games, only 90 gave a full grade for the parking; that is a low 36% on the parking slots while about 80% where annoyed with the traffic that delayed them and lost their time of the game so that they can park their cars...

...Letter” by unethical means by publishing notice in the least popular newspaper. Since the public could not be notified, they later complained about the pollution created by the company. The company tried to settle the objection of the public by good words and by giving gifts, but this doesn’t seem to last long. The company is now reluctant to use “incinerators”. Issues One major issue raised in the case is what the company should do to minimize the public complaints on pollution. Should the company also install incinerator? There are numerous factors related to the case such as ethical, environmental, legal, social, political, technological and economic. The company went against ethics by misleading the public by publishing notice on a least popular newspaper. The environmental issue is related to the pollution created by the company. The company was using out-dated technology by not using incinerator. Also it is an economic issue when it comes to installing the incinerator. Facts to support the existence of complaints by the public 1. The notice was published in the least popular newspaper so the villagers didn’t notice it. 2. The objection of the villagers against the pollution was attempted to be silenced by good words and gifts to authority. 3. The company sent a staff member to the plant location to make personal contact with the members of the VDC and this staff played an important role in obtaining the no objection letters.

...I. Style of Case and Citation: Waters v Min Ltd 587 N.E.2d 231 (Mass.1992) II. Court Rendering Final Decision: Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts III. Identification of Parties and Procedural Details Gail A.Waters Plaintiff, Thomas Beacuchemin., Defendant. IV. Discussion of the Facts: Gail Waters (plaintiff) owned an annuity contract worth $189,000, with a total potential value of $694,000 over 25 years. When Waters was 21, she began dating Thomas Beauchemin (defendant), who had a strong influence over her. He introduced her to drugs and exhausted her credit card accounts. He then suggested that she sell her annuity contract and, as an agent of Min Ltd. (Min) (defendants), initiated negotiations between Waters and Min. Waters contracted to sell her annuity contract to Min for $50,000. In the negotiations, Min was represented by counsel and Waters was not. In recognition of his fostering the sale, Min dropped a $7,000 debt that Beauchemin owed them. Waters brought suit for rescission of the contract on the grounds that it was unconscionable. The trial court found in her favor. Min appealed. V. Statement and Discussion of the Legal Issues in Dispute The defendants contend that the judge erred by (1) finding the contract unconscionable (and by concluding the defendants assumed no risks and therefore finding the contract oppressive); (2) refusing them specific performance; and (3) failing to require the plaintiff to return all the funds received from them. Unconscionability...
