...placed the slip of yellow paper under the windshield wiper of the black Oldsmobile that straddled two parking spaces.” We get a point of view from the narrator, where we get to know what Toby is doing, from the narrator’s perspective. The direct information we get about the characters from the narrator: “Near the First National Bank two elderly ladies waited for the bus. They stood in the middle of the sidewalk away from the curb. Toby pulled out his pad, slipped the pen off his ear, held the cap with his teeth. He printed slowly, meticulously, then handed one of the ladies the slip, “TO MUSH IN WAY” signed “TOBY.” He secured his instruments, walked along as before. The two ladies examined the slip of paper, moved closer to the curb.” The way the narrator describes the way Toby contacted the ladies without saying a word with his mouth, it tells us that Toby is probably handicap. The indirect information we get from the narrator’s description of setting, Toby’s notes and from dialogue: “On the yellow paper Toby had printed in red ink “PRAKING MISTEAK” and signed his name “TOBY” in a childish-looking hand.” “How’s it going, Toby?” McVee said. Toby pulled out his pad, showed it to McVee. “Lots of business, eh, Toby?” Toby put his pad back, nodded. His eyes rolled, looked tortured. “Yes, Toby, it’s a bitch,” McVee said. Toby looked at McVee’s shoes. Except for a single smudge, they were shiny, black. Toby bent down, rubbed off the smudge with his hand. “Thanks, Toby,” McVee said...

...name – Legislative Paper Nov. 6, 2012 The definition of marriage had not been critical to governmental law until 1996 when the Defense of Marriage Act, or commonly known as D.O.M.A., was signed by President Bill Clinton. As it states D.O.M.A defines marriage as “only a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife.” (Webb, Rita A., n.d.). The term “spouse” is also coined for a husband or wife of an individual of the opposite sex. In opposition to this unconstitutional law, I am in support for the S. 598: Respect for Marriage Act of 2011, which was passed by a judicial committee on Nov.10, 2011. Unfortunately, it was presented to the U.S. Senate, but as remained stagnant since. (“S.598”, 2011). Essentially, it repeals D.O.M.A and safeguards the respect for individual state regulations of marriage. S.598 is a progressive law that encourages our government as a free democracy to adhere to separation between church and state. D.O.M.A. blatantly counters just that. It is not constitutional to allow the enforcement of a law based on the Christian ideology of marriage. First, using the “Five-E Approach”, the issuance of this law would be highly effective and accomplish its key goals of repealing D.O.M.A. and ensuring equal rights and recognition to same-sex unions. It is to be noted the passing of S.598 does not suggest all states legalize samesex marriages. It is still allowing each state to be governed under their state’s constitution. Second, is this law efficient...

...Economic History and Health Care Funding Christina Bacon HCS 440 Economics: The Financing of Healthcare BSCS13JR00 University of Phoenix Online Geoffrey J. Suszkowski, Ph.D., LFHIMSS June 5, 2012 Economic History and Health Care Funding When writing this paper, the subjects covered will be the history of economics and how the economy and health care funding have changed and how the two go hand in hand in today’s society. Where the money will come from to fund health care services such as; Medicaid/Medicare, HMO’s, how hospitals and nursing homes get paid for taking care of people, going to the doctor’s office, or going to the hospital. How the elderly pay to have home health services come in and provide care in their homes. All these things will be covered in this paper. Economic History and Health Care Funding What is economic history and health care funding? Economic history is the way people dealt with supply and demand, cost of production of a product, the levels of income and distribution of wealth, the structure of overseas trade, and the volume and direction of investment, (Adelman, 1985). Health care funding, is the way people would pay for their health care, because in the early years, there was no Medicaid/Medicare, or HMO’s to help pay for health care. The government did not fund health care then like health care is funded now, through government programs such as Medicaid/Medicare, HMO, health insurance, etc. People paid for health care by paying...

...Abstract The topic in discussion here is the suit filed by a company Non-Linear Pro against Quick Takes Video for non-payment of lease amount. The later claims that the product leased to them was of inferior quality and has been owned for less than a month, whereas Non-Linear Pro is trying to charge them for a three-month lease. A noteworthy point is that none of the owners of the company have signed the lease. It has been signed by a third party agent appointed by the company to place and receive orders on their behalf, while one of the owners states that the agent is not authorized to sign any documents on the company’s behalf. This paper aims to discuss if the contract formation was achieved and if a third party agent was authorized to sign a contract on behalf of the company. Second, the paper discusses the policies and procedures, which, if pre-defined by Quick Takes Video, would have avoided such a situation from arising. Third, the paper discusses another option, besides arbitration, which the companies can use to work through this dispute in a timely, low-costing and effective manner. Contract Creation and Management In the abstract above Karen, one of the owners of Quick Takes Video, raises her concern that the third party agent Janet was not authorized to sign any document on company’s behalf. But according to Hal, Janet is responsible for most of buying for the company and has been signing the receipts in the past. So it seems that Janet does have some...

...Thomas Jefferson and the Declaration of Independence In the Declaration of Independence, written by Thomas Jefferson, the Declaration of Independence was signed by 56 delegates while John Hancock signed the largest. It’s so hard to believe that only 56 men signed the papers that declared America’s independence from Great Britain. In the Declaration of Independence Thomas Jefferson wrote this letter as a complaint to the king of Great Britain to inform him that they were declaring themselves as their own country. This caused the American Revolution to begin. Thomas Jefferson reached out or dealt with these three audiences: the colonists, King George III, and the British people by writing the Declaration of Independence. In the year of 1776, Thomas Jefferson, a colonist, and 55 other colonists came together to form the Declaration of Independence. This letter was to express the colonists’ frustration about being taxed by King George III without representation: “But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing...

...contact with our advisor. She also discussed that we could declare our major if we wanted to our second semester of freshman year. We learned that there is a paper we have to get signed to declare our major, and that paper is on the UNCA website. We would just need to print out that piece of paper and get it signed by the department chair for our major. I learned about DegPar and how we could use “What if analysis” to see what classes we would need to take to graduate with a certain major or minor. She also told us about registration for class and how it opens up at 7am and closes at 10pm. One last thing that she talked to us about was how we should not get stressed out about classes and what we should take. She said that is what Onestop and our advisors are there for, to help us when we need it. Which Path Do I Take? Exploring The “Fit” of Different Majors The speaker at this event was from the Career Center and his name was Chris Hegg. He talked about RIASEC which is a personality model, and it is an interest inventory tool designed to help match your interests and skills with similar careers. RIASEC stands for realistic, investigative, artistic, social, enterprising, and conventional. The people who are realistic are the “doers”. They like to fix things like cars or like to hunt; they like things that are hands on. The people who are investigative are the thinkers. They like to ask a lot of questions and they may like school because they get to learn new things. Artistic...

...Art of sleeping The success of Art of sleeping is yet to reach its peak but has significantly increased in the past year with the success of their new EP ‘Like A Thief’. Art Of Sleeping were recently signed with Dew Process and exploded into high rotation on Triple J with ‘Empty Hands’, their immensely personal and cinematic single. This emotive brand of indie-rock has been the trend du jour of 2012 and probably has been since the rise of Boy & Bear, Matt Corby and The Medics; so Art Of Sleeping hit at exactly the right time. The bands new EP reached Top 100 ARIA Chart debut and an invitation to partake in an Official ARIA Showcase next month. This is the first release to chart for Brisbane group. Prior to the release of Like A Thief, the band had released several singles that picked up significant radio play on Triple J. And also recently completed a national tour called Above the water prior to the EP’s release which included special guest tigertown. They also went on tour with Paper Kites as a supporting act, performed at Big Sound 2012 and Fat As Butter 2012. National touring came with these hits, more exposure, more support. Still, success took the band completely by surprise. Since they were notified that ‘Empty Hands’ was added to triple j, the band haven’t really stopped. The Band will also be going on its Like a thief tour down the east coast of Australia starting in there home town of Brisbane at The Zoo. Sydney will be the next in line, where Art of Sleeping...

...Facts: * Youngblood signed a contract whether he reviewed it or not it is a legally binding contract. * Schwimmer may have thought they had an express contract prior to signing the paper contract due to the fact that he and Youngblood did verbally speak on the phone and in person about the job and offer in which Youngblood did accept. * The job acceptance too place over the phone verbally, later the contract was signed. * Youngblood is violating the contract by working for TDI Services (which is a direct competitor of Southwest). Issues: * Youngblood did not specifically ask to see a copy of the contract nor was a copy was not offered to him. This was a mistake on Youngbloods part, it could also be an honest mistake on Schwimmers part or it could have been done deliberately. * Neither party remembers asking for or talking about the noncompete contract An intent to make a binding agreement began when Mr. Schwimmer and president first phone interviewed Mr. Youngblood for the job, which can also be referred to as an invitation to negotiate. The first phone interview doesn’t mean there was an offer. Contractually it can be considered an option contract. By definition an option contract according to Twomey and Jennings, “if one party has an absolute right to enter into the labor contract…In contrast with an option contract, a contract may merely give a right to refuse” (p.238). In other words, Mr. Youngblood has the option to accept the job and has...

...and they had informed me that she was in multi organ failure, and there was no hope. So many thoughts, wishes, regrets, and emotions run through your mind faster than you can process or even recognize. The dreadful papers stare back at you and make you sick to your stomach. I received a call late one night when my mother was taken to the hospital. My mother was only 83 pounds when she entered the hospital. She had lost about 7 pints of blood, and was not keeping the blood in. The doctor told us when one is in multi-system organ failure; their body basically attacks itself and begins to shut down organ by organ. My mother was anorexic. She battled the disease her entire life so it was only a matter of time it caught up to her. Nothing could have prepared me for what I was about to go through the next few days, or what I was about to see in the next minutes. I walked into the room and saw a small, too skinny, frail woman that was in and out of consciousness. The only voice she responded to or recognized was her boyfriend’s, she didn’t know me and that felt like a dagger piercing my heart. After five long exhausting days, her liver was failing, she would need new kidneys, and they didn’t know how much damage the lack of oxygen had caused her brain. My hands were shaking, my mind was racing, and all I could say to myself is,” Why didn’t you try harder? You should have called someone; you could have stopped this…”...

Describe the legal limitations associated with combating organized crime, including a critique of major federal laws and strategies that support this effort. Suggest a realistic solution to control organized crime by discussing and evaluating the effectiveness of organized crime prosecutions. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * There are several problems surrounding organized crime. This first matter would be defining organized crime; the number one question is who and why people get involved in organized crimes, and how the organized crime can be controlled and/or stopped. Although there is a lot of support from the public through their support of many of the illegal goods, and services, and then the communities expect law enforcement to keep up and control the organized crime, but how can they when the people of the community support them by buying their goods. Some of the citizen of the United States thinks that organized crime can’t be stopped, but it should be controlled a little bit closer because it has a big impact on organized crime and are business more than what people think it does. There is a big lack of agreement around the term organized crime , this makes a lot...

...Conscience J. Galsworthy Taggart sat up. The scoop under the ranger's fence, cannily selected for his sleeping-place, was overhung by branches, and the birds of Hyde Park were at matins already. His watch had gone the way of his other belongings during the last three months, and he could only assume from the meager light that it was but little after dawn. He was not grateful to the birds; he would be hungry long before a breakfast coming from he hardly knew where. But he listened to them with interest. This was the first night he had passed in the open, and, like all amateurs, he felt a kind of triumph at having achieved vagrancy in spite of the law, the ranger, and the dew. He was a Northumbrian, too, and his tail still up,' as he expressed it. Born in a town, Taggart had not much country lore - at sparrows, blackbirds, thrushes, his knowledge stopped; but he enjoyed the bobbery the little beggars were kicking up, and though a trifle stiff perhaps, he felt fine'. He lit his pipe, and almost at once his brain began to revolve the daily problem of how to get a job, and why he had lost the one he had. Walking, three months ago, burly, upright, and secure and jolly, into the room of his chief at the officers of Conglomerated Journals Ltd. , he had been greeted with: Morning, Taggart. Georgie Grebe is to give us an article for the Lighthouse. He won't have time to write it, of course. I want you just to do us a column he could sign something Grebeish. I'm anxious...
