...At the time, this seemed like a good defense because of the decisions in both Lochner v. New York and Adkins v. Children’s Hospital. The Supreme Court had ruled in both cases that the laws were unconstitutional. In Lochner v. New York, the law had been in violation of the 14th Amendment’s due process clause and the liberty to contract. The 1923 case of Adkins v. Children’s Hospital was struck down because it was enacted by the District of Columbia, making it a federal law and subject to the due process clause under the Fifth Amendment. These cases show the precedent that had been set up by the Supreme Court to rule against the state and its use of police powers. The Supreme Court ended up straying away from this precedent and upheld the minimum wage law that the state of Washington enacted. Thus, ruling in favor of Parrish and overturning the previous decision made in Adkins v. Children’s...

...The Adkins Diet vs. the South Beach Diet Tonya Richardson COM 155 May 5, 2012 Michele Armentrout The Adkins Diet vs. the South Beach Diet The Adkins diet is famous for claims of weight loss, but the South Beach diet is said to be a more heart healthy choice for dieters. Most diets are hard to follow, and have so many restrictions on food that people often get fed up and revert to their old eating habits, instead of continuing with a new diet plan. A diet that restricts certain foods may be setting a dieter up for failure, when they give into temptation, and indulge in their favorite foods not included in their diet. The Adkins and South Beach diet offer a variety of foods that include healthy and tasty choices, even for the pickiest eaters. Both diets are similar, and start out with an induction phase that restricts the foods you eat, and lasts about two weeks. The Adkins diet relies solely on counting the total number of carbohydrates you eat in a day, and the South Beach diet relies on the size and portion of carbohydrates eaten each day. Both diets result in about the same number of carbohydrates per day, but are calculated using different methods. So, let`s explore the reason we want to lose weight in the first place. First, we all want to improve our current health and prolong our lives. Unfortunately, because we tend to eat unhealthy foods, we experience weight gain and are acceptable to health related problems, such as high cholesterol. Changing your eating...

...In Adkins v. Thomas Solvent Co. 440 Mich. 293 (1992), the court denied an award of stigma damages when the property was not contaminated by a hazardous substance. In order to see if stigma damages can be awarded, plaintiff’s usually have to establish that defendant engaged in an environmental tort, which in this case is nuisance. Once nuisance is established by the plaintiff’s proving that there was damage to their property, then the plaintiffs can seek to recover stigma damages. In Adkins, the trial court had dismissed the plaintiff’s claims that they had no recovery under Michigan law. Even though the Court of Appeal’s reversed this decision, the Court of Appeal’s decision was later reversed back to the trial court’s decision, stating that the plaintiffs did not present evidence toward the contamination of their property by way of the defendants. The question presented in this case was whether plaintiffs could claim a right to damages under the tort of nuisance due...

...The Reflection on Whether Gender Influences Cultural Work Introduction The term culture industry was first put forward by Max Horkheimer and Theodor Adorno (1944), the philosophers of Frankfurt School. In the book Dialectic of Enlightenment (1944: 94-95), Horkheimer and Adorno argued that the mass culture in capitalist society can be treated as an ideology factory which producing the standardized cultural products, such as magazines, radios, films and so on. Under this assumption, Horkheimer and Adorno supposed that the mass society can be manipulated by these homogenous cultural goods and services, and became more docile and passive (1944: 94-95). About 20 years later, since the 1960s, the business activities and employments in cultural industries – art, music, fashion, graphic design, film, radio, television, advertising, gaming, software production and leisure – have been showing a strong trend of expansion. According to Hesmondhalgh, ‘the cultural industries have moved closer to the centre of the economic action’ (2007:1). Western governments expect that the cultural industries can become a solution of deindustrialization, in order to deal with the systemic crises (Smith, 1998; Seltzer and Bentley, 1999; DCMS 2001; DCITA, 2005). As a consequence, cultural industries arouse concerns from the academic world. However, the definition of cultural industries was still fuzzy until 2007, Mark Banks defined it as: ‘those involved in the production of ‘aesthetic’ or ‘symbolic’ goods...

...Suffering has always been a part of human existence, along with request’s to end these conditions. Death through PAS or euthanasia has been continuously controverted since the beginning of medicine. Advocates of physician assisted suicide feel they have the right to avoid excruciating pain, prolonged suffering, and embrace a timely and dignified death. Adversaries of PAS contend that physicians have a moral responsibility to keep their patients alive as determined in the Hippocratic Oath (one of the oldest binding documents written in history, still bring used by physicians). In 1990, Physician- Assisted Suicide became better known to the public when retired pathologist, Dr. Jack Kevorkian assisted his first patient, Janet Adkins, into death. News of Adkins’ death made him a national celebrity and criminal, but ultimately encouraged Kevorkian to rebel and proceed with what he considered, his duty. Murad Kevorkian, better known as Dr. Jack Kevorkian was born on May 26, 1928, in Pontiac, Michigan. He was the middle of 3 children (two girls and himself), born to Levon and Satenig Kevorkian; Armenian immigrants and refugees. Jack had appreciation for his strict upbringing; however he had conflicting religious viewpoints with his parents. At the age of 12, he stopped attending church with his family. He felt that if there were a God who could make his son walk on water, he would also have been able to prevent the Turkish slaughter of his entire extended family (bio.com, 2013)....

...The theory I tested happened about four years ago when I started the Adkins diet. This diet restricts carbohydrates. You start out by allowing yourself only 20 grams of carbohydrates. I had to train my body to use fat for fuel instead of carbohydrates. Their search I learned while doing this diet was learning that by maintaining a low carbohydrate diet your body releases less insulin. This will cause your body to burn its own fat as fuel and makes you lose weight. Also while being on this diet I felt less cravings and I was not as hungry. When I was on this diet I followed other people on the website for Adkins and this made me realize I was researching myself as well as others following the diet. I believe my research with this diet would be a similar method as a psychologist would use because to me it was experimental and descriptive. An experimental psychologist studies the process of sensing, perceiving, learning and thinking. This was a learning experience for me. I had no idea how this diet was going to turn out. I ended up losing 80 pounds on this diet. After a year after stopping the Adkins diet I gained 50 pounds and I was getting depressed again so I decided to try another method. I was given the opportunity to do something different. I was a candidate for the gastric lap band so I decided to go for lap band surgery. I was tired of struggling with my weight and this is why I decided to do different approach. Gastric lap band surgery is having a band around the top of...

Todd-Higgins ACC/561 - ACCOUNTING Instructor: DAVID DUREN Schedule: 06/29/2015 - 08/03/2015 Campus: COLUMBIA SOUTH CAROLINA CAMPUS Group ID: SCMBA0914 CVP - What If Analysis Through research, according to Diane Wicks (2015), “Cost-volume-profit (CVP) analysis is used to assess the impact of potential changes in costs and volume on a company's operating profit and net profit. CVP analysis is also useful in making decisions regarding pricing of products, selection of product lines and utilization of production equipments. Additionally, CVP is at the heart of methods used for calculating the break-even point and sales levels necessary to attain targeted income levels.” The break-even point according to W.D Adkins (2015) is, “the point at which revenues are just enough to cover expenses so there in no profit and no loss.” For instance Calculating Breaking-Even Analysis There are many steps in finding the break even analysis. According to Zari Ballard of Ehow (2015, ), First, calculate the total fixed costs by adding together each of the company's fixed costs. For example, a small company with annual fixed costs of $7,000 in rental payments, $3,000 in equipment leases and $30,000 in administrative salaries would have TFC of $40,000. Next, calculate the contribution margin per unit by subtracting the variable cost per unit from the sales price per unit. For example, if a small company's product sells for $60 per unit with variable costs per unit...

...His Specialty is Death On June 4, 1990, Janet Adkins, 54-year-old English teacher from Portland who suffered from Alzheimer's disease said her final goodbyes to Carroll Rehmke, her best friend of 34 years. Then prone in the back of a Volkswagen van in Michigan, she pressed a button to set in motion a machine, which administered saline solution, sodium thiopental to send her into a deep coma and finally a lethal dose of potassium chloride to stop her heart (Wilson). The machine was the brainchild of the Detroit medical pathologist Dr. Jack Kevorkian.
