...Sarah Seibel Address City, State, Zip Code Phone Number Email Address September 15, 2015 Dear Honorable Judge English, I am writing this letter today to inform you of my exemplary accomplishments and commitment to my own as well as other individuals’ sobriety. I am a sobriety sponsor for Alexandra Swinnerton. I assist her daily with working the steps toward sobriety as well as ensuring Ms. Swinnerton is able to attend every Narcotics Anonymous (NA) meeting. I believe my strength as an individual and my extreme motivation to be successful in my sobriety is not only one of my greatest assets, but a great asset for those struggling with sobriety around me. I have started my own series of NA meetings at my church which meet on Mondays, and I am a chair for a series of NA meetings which meet on Thursday nights. I strongly believe that these meetings can strengthen the change for sobriety for all who attend. While I believe that I myself am a great support system for those working the steps toward sobriety around me, I also have my own wonderful support system which includes my own family. My mother attends the family support group for addicts called Naranon. I also attend the Stop Heroin rallies and any additional programs that NA has to offer. I have a strong commitment toward my sobriety and I believe this commitment can help inspire those around me to have the same commitment in their own path to sobriety. Thank you for your attention. Yours sincerely...

...form of discrimination. This is probably the best chance Elaine will have to make a case for a lawsuit. Elaine must decide if she feels that Jerry discharged her because of the fact that she is a woman or else because of her age. Unfortunately for people who are discriminated against, this is always something that is hard to prove. Elaine can also ask herself, was there a contract exception or breach of contract? Sometimes an employer and an employ may have an implied-in-fact contract. This would include a company handbook, company bulletin, or a policies and procedures book with mention that employees who perform their jobs properly will not be discharged. Elaine may have some legal ground here depending on the details of her offer letter as well as if Jerry has a company handbook. Another legal question that Elaine should ask herself could be, is there a public policy exception? This refers to the policy of the local jurisdiction. A company...

...Evaluating and Selecting Communication Channels MGT/521 One of the most important characteristics of successful relationships is the use of effective communication. Effective communications are characterized by achieving both the successful transfer as well as the understanding of meaning of the information being communicated to the greatest degree possible (Robbins & Judge, 2011). Understanding the functions of communication and the elements of the communication process itself will maximize the probability that messages communicated will yield the highest degree of understanding of the intended meaning by the recipients. A critical element of the communication process that influences the degree of understanding of meaning as much as the formulation of the message itself is the communication channel selected for its delivery. The focus of this paper will be on evaluating and selecting a communication channel based on the nature and complexity of the message to be delivered. The selection of communication channels and the reasons for their selections in the following essay are based off the three Communication Channel Scenarios located on the student website. Evaluating and Selecting Communication Channels Scenario 1 As the Marketing Manager for a new beverage product that has done well in the United States, I’ve been directed by the Vice President of Operations to develop a strategy within one week to enter the product into the global market...

...the right to the enjoyment and use of their property. Prah argues that he is first in time and he had the right to the light and air first and that it would lessen his enjoyment and use of his property to have the sunlight blocked. Muretti argument is that the most important right of a landowner is the right to use their property. His house complies with the laws and statutes and therefore should be allowed to be built. Then the dispute arose… There several alternatives to litigation that may be applicable in this situation as trial is expensive. Our suggestions are: 1. The first approach is to send a Demand Letter which details our demands to the other side. In our case it is the location that the house is being built. We would outline what we wanted and the action that we are planning to take if our requests are not met. The benefits of a demand letter are, predictably, straight forward. There is no dancing and no posturing; the opposing party knows where we stand and has the opportunity to accept or reject our offer....

Abolitionists of slavery knew that the principle of natural equal rights was being delayed. Jefferson as well as Washington and Madison put into practice the equal natural rights amongst the black slaves specifically by restricting the further movement of slavery into the new territories and passing the law of the slave trade, which restricted Americans to buy slaves from Africa (Lincoln 447).

...to write the letter, but Huck then makes a decision staying in staying with Jim; The Widow Douglass a letter.” It was a close place I took…up[the letter I’d written to Miss Watson], and held it in my hand. I was a-trembling because, I’d got to decide, forever, betwixt, two things and I knowed it. I studied a minute, sort of holding my breath, and then says to myself: “Alright then I’ll go to Hell”- and tore it up. It was awful thoughts and awful words, but they was said. And I let them stay said; and never thought no more about reforming”.(217) This is where the moral climax of the novel begins as the duke and the dauphin have sold Jim. Believing that his life would have been better at St.Petersburg would be better than the trouble he got into-even if Jim has to go back to being a slave- composes a letter to Miss.Watson. Suddenly, Huck begins to think of his friendship with Jim and tears up the paper and follows his gut not society's hypocritical principles and nature. At this point in the novel he decides he wants to help Jim into freedom and wants to be free of civilized nature. Even at the beginning of the book Huck still seems to know more than the adults and believes that rules are ludicrous, as sometimes it is necessary to break the rules. For example, when Judge Thatcher and The Widow try to separate Huck from his dad: “The Judge and the Widow went to law to get the court to take me away from his and let one of them be my guardian; but it was a new judge that had just...
