...1. Examples of patterns such as my parameters, fluency and speed all need improvement. From my exam I noticed that my parameters were not as clear-cut as they should have been . My signing speed was fairly descent, I try to go at a paste, which I am comfortable with, so that I will make the least amount of mistakes as possible. My signing production was terrible, I froze up so many times even though I really did know how to sign the correct questions. For example instead of signing university I signed school. Also I noticed that when signing I left out accurate meanings of words such as our and we that I mixed up. Many of my signals were not complete so I noticed that I need to assure that I completely finish a sign, and then move on to the next one. 2. My non-grammatical signals were off only because I looked down at my paper so much. But I noticed I was using them, but you could barley see them because you could not see my eyebrows. The only time you really seen my non-grammatical signals was in my introduction. There were several times for example when I would start a sentence you could see my non-grammaticals but towards the end of the sentence I noticed I was to worried about trying to figure out how the rest of the sentence was structured. Some of my non-grammatical signals had no emotion, I need to either smile more or make it more noticeable that I’m trying to express a word. 3. After viewing my expressive test and comparing it to the model video I noticed there...

...Values of the nation after the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America The Declaration of Independence and The Constitution of the United States are two fundamental founding documents in American history. In the eighteenth century, the documents foreshadowed the aspirations of the founding fathers for the newly created United States of America. These documents are illustration of the values of the young nation, however they do not represent all the American citizens at the time of writing, as they are limited to the political and societal elite. This will be discussed through an analytical examination of these documents and how they reflect the relationship between the American citizen and nation. As a first consideration, both documents are integral in the understanding of the foundation of the United States. The Declaration of Independence was signed in Independence Hall in Pennsylvania, July 4, 1776 by the founding fathers of the United States of America. On that day the thirteen colonies of the United States dissolved their bond with King George III and Great Britain. The origin of these documents is a primary government source written by leading political figures of the time. The founding fathers developed and signed this document with a belief “that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness...

The salary conditions were a stumbling block for this particular exercise. With the knowledge of being the manager, I knew that I had other qualified individuals that could be offered the position. The scenario explained that RR already offered a high beginning salary for a new employee. I felt that someone fresh out of college did not warrant a higher salary. In general, I do believe that salary can usually be negotiated. For the majority of jobs (not retail, fast food, etc…), employers give a range of what the salary can be. For the federal government, salaries are usually locked in but you might be able to negotiate at what level you start. ▪ What other things are negotiable? If salary is locked in, there are always other options. For the exercise, we looked at offering relocation costs, a signing bonus, stock options and even starting dates. All these...

...Bank guarantee Vs Letter Of Credit A bank guarantee and a letter of credit are similar in many ways but they're two different things. The main difference between these two credit security instruments is the position of the bank relative to the buyer and seller of a good, service or basket of goods or services in the event that the buyer defaults. These financial instruments are often used in trade financing when suppliers, or vendors, are purchasing and selling goods to and from overseas customers with whom they don't have established business relationships. A bank guarantee is a guarantee made by a bank on behalf of a customer (usually an established corporate customer) in case it fails to deliver the payment, essentially making the bank a co-signer for one of its customer's purchases. A guarantee is a written contract stating that in the event that the borrower is unable or unwilling to pay its debt to a merchant, the bank will act as a guarantor and step in to pay that debt. The initial claim is still settled primarily against the bank's client, and not the bank itself. This is a type of contingent guarantee. A bank guarantee is more risky for the merchant and less risky for the bank. But this is not the case with a letter of credit. While a letter of credit is similar, the principal difference is that it is a potential claim against the bank, rather than a bank's client. For example, a seller may request that a buyer be provided with a letter of credit, which must...

...#23 Manila Insurance v. sps Amurao GR 179628 1-16-2013 J. Del Castillo Suretyship - liability of surety Facts: Sps. Amurao (Creditor/Obligee) entered into a Construction Contract Agreement (CCA) w/ Aegean Construction Devt Corp (Debtor/Obligor) for the construction of a 6-storey commercial bldg. To guarantee its full & faithful compliance w/the terms & conditions of the CCA, Aegean posted a performance bond by Manila Insurance Co. (Surety) & Intra Strata Assurance Corp. (Surety). Due to failure of Aegean to comply w/the project, Sps. Amurao filed a Complaint vs. the Sureties to collect on the performance bond at the RTC QC. Manila Ins. filed a (motion to dismiss) M/D seeks to dismiss on grounds: 1) Lack of cause of action vs. Surety that filing of Complaint is premature due to failure to implead principal contractor; and that at the time the Surety Issued the performance bond, CCA was not yet signed; and 2) lack of jurisdiction. During pre-trial, Sureties discovered that the CCA contained an arbitration clause. RTC - denied Sureties M/D and subsequent M/R. It disregarded the fact that CCA was not yet signed at the time Surety issued the performance bond. CA - dismissed the petition. 1) The presence of arbitration clause in the CCA does not merit dismissal of the case; it is only when there are differences in the interpretation that parties may resort to arbitration 2) found no GAD on the part of the RTC, it explained that performance bond was intended to be coterminous...

...opinion though really doesn’t matter if this behavior was discussed with Oiler at the start of him employment with Winn Dixie. Depending on the rules and regulation that were set forth by Winn Dixie and gone over with Oiler in orientation he very well may have been in violation of the company’s policy. I work for the state in the behavioral health department. Occasionally there are events that take place in the community, within legislature or people in charge of making very big decision. And as we all know the media is always looking for their next big story. Policy here stated that we are not to speak to any media, not be telephone, mail correspondence or in person. We have one specific person at the agency that covers all interviews. This is to make sure that the correct information is being given to the public. Employees here consider these to be strict guidelines and we make sure that we do as policy states. In Oiler’s case there may have been something in policy that stated that this type of behavior was not going to be accepted and that termination would result of it. This is why it is very important that everything given to a person be read prior to signing, especially if you know you partake in questionable activities. In Oilers case it is obvious this was not the case. It’s sad that society works this way but unless we own the business and work for ourselves we must abide by others...

...First, I never really realized the many debates and issues America really has until this course. Some issues may seem like common sense on how to solve the problem but not everyone may be happy with every result because of their “beliefs” moral and values. I know that wearing seat beats is state regulated. The government can legally require us to wear a seat belt. Especially, if their major concern is about cutting cost and saving the lives of others. Many feel that when we allow the government to enforce these kinds of laws, we are surrendering our ability to think and act for ourselves. To be honest we have some people that seem to have no brain and this is why such laws have to be in place. It may not be fair and it may infringe on our rights a bit but it is here to balance things. Most of the time it is not very easy to determine in specific cases the right thing to do and no solutions seem obviously correct. As adults, we have experienced many situations to where we are able to decide whether we would like to follow particular rules, but for children it is undetermined in which case it is safe to let some adults decide for them. So rules like having child restraint are put into place for them so that they are protected in every measure. I know that my children will jump in the car without putting a seat belt on and I have to remind them to put it on because when they are in the back seat. I prefer them to be in a car seat with their seat belt on for my own safety reason as...

...Subject: Funding for Business Writing Course The purpose of this memo is to request funding for a business writing course being offered at Briarcliffe College. This course will not only benefit me; it will benefit the company in many ways by giving me the tools necessary to be more capable at doing my job. At the end of this course I should feel more confident in my ability to write in a more professional and understandable manner. In my position, I am constantly writing, whether it’s an email to an individual’s family or formal billing summaries for the state. How many times have billing summaries been returned from the state because they are not clear on how a service was run or because of senseless grammar errors? There have also been issues where a family didn’t understand a routine notice and call the supervisors for clarity. This does not create a very professional image for our company as a whole. Each time this happens it takes up valuable company time that can be spent on more productive tasks. Below are a few benefits the company will experience: Save time and money more productive and proficient business meetings A more professional image for the company. As I stated above, the course is being offered at . It will begin on October 15, 2011 and run till December 3, 2011. The total cost is $650; $500 for tuition, $75 for technology fees, and $75 for the book. This is a small investment to the future of this company. We will be able to set ourselves apart...

...Death penalty is a bigger discussion, even though I just live here in safe Denmark. I will try to make it about 300 words. The first and maybe even what I think is the stupidest thing about death penalty is the “Eye for an eye” philosophy. Most of all this philosophy can chock me in civilized parts of this world. Like some of the states in the US, that chooses this. But if you turn this around and think, it’s not as expensive for the state as it is to have these criminals in jail, and give them space, food, water, warm bathes, electricity, and so on. It’s cheaper, and easier, just to ‘take them away’. But what about the chances, the chances that someday they will have a new Black Magic, and the idea about the part where they see you ass guilty until the opposite is proven. It’s seen before that someone who’s not guilty lost their life. And how can a state, how can normal people feel raised above everything, and think who has the right to live or die? It’s not only the court I’m thinking at, at this point. It’s also the criminals, who kill. Well, sometimes I also think that death is the only thing a person can deserve, if they done something so awful. But isn’t it just an easy way for them? I won’t mention an example, but think of a criminal who has done something so awful. And when they could come out of jail, the next many years they can’t have a safe live, their life will never be normal, and they will ALWAYS be judged, get the looks, and hear people whisper.

...Cons Of Drug Testing For Welfare Recipients Norman Zeitunian BCOM/275 Business Communication October 30, 2012 Todd Keller Cons Of Drug Testing For Welfare Recipients There are many states that have attempted to introduce or have laws on their books for drug testing when individuals who are applying for state benefits. Some of the states are Kentucky, Florida, Virginia and Washington. The overall purpose of this testing is to better prepare individuals for employment purposes. Although that is a good sounding intention, there are many aspects that will be flawed and not viable. The most powerful argument against drug testing for welfare benefits stems from the constitutional standpoint. Organizations such as the ACLU have argued that the Fourth Amendment protects citizens from being searched without probable cause ( Bowler 2012). This issue is the main stopping point for creating this program in states’ is that there are many legal issues and will be challenges in the court systems. This leads to the costs related to dealing with the legal ramifications and potential lawsuits that are filed against states agencies that impose drug testing. Another point that was stated in the same letter was that mandatory drug testing was an "ineffective" and "fiscally irresponsible" way to deal with drug abuse. Instead of drug tests, which cost an average of $42 each not including the costs of running the program, the money would be better spent on training government workers...

...stating that a purchasing manager would give us their first order, expecting that we will agree to make a donation of P2, 000 to his favorite charity, a local youth sports team. By applying principle of double effect we would not accept this kind of order. The situation here is that if we follow one condition the other is ours automatically. The thing with this case is that the manager is expecting something in return to the first order he would give to us. A donation is given by a person freely and willingly. From all the reasons stated above, we do not agree to have an order by the purchasing manager who is expecting us to make a donation of P2, 000 donations to his favorite charity. 3. Sales Expense Reimbursement This case states that an agent of the Southeast Asia wants us to reimburse the customer executive from the Southeast Asia for all his expenses, including some which violates are company’s policies. The agent assures us to reimburse the expenses later. By applying the principle of truth and loyalty we would never accept to go against our company rules. We would choose to go on the right path than to follow the wrong one. Being disloyal to our own company would be a big disgrace to our inner conscience because this very company gives us money...

...Dear Local Government and State Officials: I have been experiencing a wonderful winter in the state of Maryland. We have not had a bad winter however, on the days expecting snow it always turns into a disaster. My husband called me on the phone this morning stating that he was unable to take my friend to the airport due to the snow plows blocking the driveway completely with snow. I had to leave my work that morning to try and make calls to make sure that the situation would not happen again. This is not the only time that this has happened. It happens very often when we get snow. I spoke with the men driving the truck at the time of the incident and advised him that my friend needs to get to the airport right away or she will miss her flight. He advised me that I needed to plow out my driveway because he needed to be somewhere else. I did not take that lightly at all. I contacted his boss who stated that I need to speak with the local government and make a complaint. I became irate at this point and began to scream and throw a fit which was not good at all. After several times of trying to contact you I kept running into a hard rock. I have left several messages and still have yet to receive a phone call back due to this matter. I am writing you this letter to explain my situation. My friend came in town to visit for a few days. Not knowing that we were expected to get snow at the time we received it. She was only to be here for a weekend. Due to the snow we received we were...
