...You are a clerk for the judge assigned to this case. The judge asks you to prepare an essay, explaining to her why, under Illinois law, she should grant or dismiss the motion for summary judgment. Please help the judge. CASE SCENERIO: The plaintiff Alan was trying to catch a plane at Chicago's O'Hare Airport. He knew that he was late for his plane and so, he was running through the airport as fast as possible. Unfortunately, Alan does not see the banana peel that was lying on the floor in the middle of the concourse. He slipped on the banana peel and went sliding across the floor. He banged his head on a metal counter and suffered a severe head injury. Alan now files a lawsuit against the airport, which, we will assume, is in charge of maintaining the concourse, alleging negligence on the part of the Airport. A subsequent investigation revealed that the banana peel was brownish when Alan slipped on it. Alan states that he has no idea where the peel came from and why it ended up where it did. The Airport moves for summary judgment on the grounds that Alan has not alleged any evidence of negligence on the part of the airport. The Airport claims that it has no idea how the peel got there, but it could have been dropped a moment ago by another passenger, and that Alan can't disprove this possibility. The issue that must be decided is whether the airport’s motion for summary judgment should be granted or dismissed. Alan bears the burden of proving...

This paper will show what the scenarios are. It will also include what I feel are the correct answers are by the research that has been done. Scenario A: Acute renal failure A 68 year old female named Ms. Jones underwent open-heart surgery to replace blocked vessels in the heart. The first day of her postoperatively the notes showed that Ms. Jones has had very little production of urine. What is happening to her kidneys and why it is causing the observed symptom? According to the symptom that was noted for Ms. Jones it looks like her kidneys are failing and leading to kidney failure. Kidneys filter the human body’s blood, producing about one milliliter of urine a minute and when the urine changes it is due to shutting down of the kidneys. This could be because the body is in shock due to the surgery that was preformed, and the abnormal amount of urine is also known as oliguria. What other symptoms and signs might occur? There are other systems and signs that might occur due to the kidney failure. One is due to accumulation of compounds containing nitrogen in the blood the smell of ammonia in the mouth. Others can include headaches and gastrointestinal distress. In some cases an elevated level of potassium in the blood known as hyperkalemia. Some other...

Case Project 3-2 The topology that should be used in this network is an extended star topology because it is a bit more advanced than the regular star topology. Instead of connecting all devices to a central unit, sub-central devices are added in. This allows more functionality for organization.

...NT1330 HOMEWORK Active Directory Design Scenario To effectively achieve this I need to know and understand everything about Active Directory Domain Services. When designing and implementing an Active Directory domain, you need to think about the placement of your global catalog servers. The global catalog is the master index of objects within an Active Directory forest. The global catalog serves as a quick search tool to locate objects within a forest. Every domain must have at least one global catalog server. The first domain controller (DC) installed into a domain automatically serves as that domain's global catalog server by default. As the size of your forest grows, there may become a need to configure additional global catalog servers throughout the forest. There are two main issues to consider when placing global catalog servers into a domain. The first is the traffic levels and the second is the location of infrastructure servers. As the forest gets larger, so does the global catalog. As the global catalog expands, the amount of replication traffic it generates increases. Global catalog servers replicate with each other. This is separate replication traffic from that used to support Active Directory itself. From an overall perspective of the forest, when fewer global catalog servers are deployed in a forest, there will be less replication traffic, but it will cause more query traffic. Conversely, deploying more global catalog servers in a forest will cause more replication...

...Legal Scenarios LAW531 Legal Scenario 1 In this scenario, Pat relocated to Vermont to become a property manager for NewCorp. After working for three months, he was advised that he would be let go with severance pay for 30 days. Pat was never notified of any problem, and the supervisor told him only "that things were not working out". When he was hired, Pat received NewCorp's personnel manual, which outlined the company's process for handling unsatisfactory employees. He also signed a document at that time which stated NewCorp "observed employment at will with respect to discharge". The manual stated that notification of deficiency, and a corrective action plan would be put in place for the employee whose job performance was unsatisfactory. This was so the employee would have a chance to improve his work performance to his employer's satisfaction. Then, only if the employee did not correct his deficiency within a specific time frame would his employment be terminated. Pat has the right, according to the manual, to notification of unsatisfactory work performance, as well as a corrective action plan to rectify same. NewCorp's decision to discharge Pat with no indication of unsatisfactory job performance, nor a corrective action plan in place can be considered wrongful discharge. “Wrongful termination happens when an employee is discharged from employment for illegal reasons or if company policy is violated when the employee is fired” (Doyle 1996, pg.1).

...Word Count: 997 Government wants to end sales quota in sugar industry CHENNAI: Food and agriculture minister Sharad Pawar said on Friday he favoured ending the government's role in fixing sales quota in sugar industry, adding that the government would consider withdrawing controls on the sector after assessing the likely sugar production in 2010-11 crop year. The minister said a decision on decontrolling the sugar industry could be taken if there is good production in the next crop year starting October. At present, the government controls the sugar industry right from fixing the support price of sugarcane and allocating the monthly quota for mills to sale in the open market. "We welcome the minister's statement on decontrol of the sugar market, which was long-awaited," Indian Sugar Mills Association (ISMA) deputy director general M N Rao told a news agency. Sugar industry is heavily regulated, right from cane to sale of sugar. There is a minimum support price for sugarcane and over and above that there is a state advisory price. Sugarcane command area is determined and approved by state governments. Sugar mills can't sell freely in the open market as there are quotas for open sale. "There are multiple spokes in the wheel now. Besides, with nearly 12 to 15 crore people involved with the sugar business, we need to see in what form and shape the decontrol happens. Ideally, total decontrol is the best," K Jayachandra, joint MD of Empee Sugars and Chemicals, told TOI. ...

...believer in controlling your emotions. He always referred to himself as a teacher first. One of his major teachings that I have tried to implement in coaching and parenting is the sandwich technique. What is the sandwich technique? The sandwich technique is a method of teaching be praise first, followed by the behavior to be corrected, then finishing by praise. Not only is this a great technique to be used in coaching, but also parenting as well. Here are some examples: Scenerio 1- Let’s say you have a child that’s struggling with name calling with their sibling. The sandwich technique could be: It’s amazing how you want to interact with your sibling, let’s use kind words when talking to them, but I love how when you spend time with your siblings. Scenerio 2: For a child that’s hitting another sibling. The sandwich technique could be: You are great at being so active, let’s make sure we keep our hand to ourselves so we don’t hurt anyone, but it’s great that you want to play with your sibling. Scenerio 3: Maybe your child is back talking. The sandwich technique could be: I appreciate the way you are able to communicate, let’s remember how we say things can be disrespectful, but continue to display independence and express the way you feel. As you can see, we can use the sandwich technique in many situations and it is hugely beneficial. Many of the positive parenting strategies teach us to remain calm when our children escalate, because as we yell or become angry it makes...
