...CASO - Kerzner Office Equipment Amber Briggs observó nerviosa su reloj mientras se sentaba al frente de una larga mesa en la cafetería en Kerzner Office Equipment. Ya eran las 3:10 y sólo 10 de los 14 miembros habían llegado para la primera reunión de la fuerza de tareas del aniversario de Kerzner. En ese momento dos miembros más se sentaron deprisa y murmuraron disculpas por llegar tarde. Briggs se aclaró la garganta y empezó la junta. KERZNER OFFICE EQUIPMENT Kerzner Office Equipment está ubicado en Charleston, Carolina del Sur. Se especializa en la manufactura y ventas de prestigiosos muebles y equipo de oficina. Kerzner disfrutó de un crecimiento constante durante sus primeros cinco años de existencia con una marca de empleo elevada de más de 1 400 trabajadores. Luego hubo una recesión nacional que obligó a Kerzner a despedir a 25 por ciento de sus empleados. Éste fue un periodo traumático para la empresa. Llevaron a Justin Tubbs como nuevo presidente y director ejecutivo y las cosas comenzaron a cambiar con lentitud. Tubbs estaba comprometido con la participación de los empleados y rediseñó las operaciones alrededor del concepto de equipos autoadministrados. Pronto, la empresa presentó una línea innovadora de muebles ergonómicos diseñados para reducir la tensión de la espalda y el túnel carpiano. Esta línea de equipo demostró ser un gran éxito y Kerzner se convirtió en un líder conocido en la industria. Hoy, la empresa cuenta con 1,100 trabajadores y ha sido seleccionada...

...Summary The grievance procedure for current employees at Indiana State University applies to full-time with benefits (37.5/40 hours per week) or regular part-time with benefits (20 or more hours per week). The policy doesn’t apply to staff members that are in the introductory period of there employment and any sexual harassment and other discriminations such as race, sex, age, national origin, sexual orientation, religion, disability, or veteran status. The first step is mediation and it is the employee’s obligation to make an appointment to talk to the employee’s immediate supervisor within two weeks of the confrontation. The steps taken when meeting with the supervisor is: 1. State the issue in an accurate written statement. 2. Have witnesses to the facts or a written statement. 3. Take notes of the conversation. The role of the supervisor during the appointment is to: 1. Listen to the employee’s explanation of the issue 2. Document details as provided by the employee and yourself (the supervisor). When the appointment is over the supervisor is to interview witnesses who were involved or had seen the dispute occur, document the information provided by the witnesses, and make a decision in writing on the dispute to the staff employee and make a hand delivery to the Human Resources within five working days. The second step is if the grievance isn’t fixed by direct communication of the employee and the supervisor then the employee must contact the Human Resources Employee Relations...

III:4, XX and XXIII:1(b) Circulation of Panel Report Circulation of AB Report Adoption 25 November 1998 18 September 2000 12 March 2001 5 April 2001 Respondent European Communities 1. MEASURE AND PRODUCT AT ISSUE • • Measure at issue: France's ban on asbestos (Decree No. 96-1133). Product at issue: Imported asbestos (and products containing asbestos) vs certain domestic substitutes such as PVA, cellulose and glass (“PCG”) fibres (and products containing such substitutes). 2. SUMMARY OF KEY PANEL/AB FINDINGS • TBT Annex 1.1 (technical regulation): The Appellate Body, having rejected the Panel's approach of separating the measure into the ban and the exceptions, reversed the Panel and concluded that the ban as an “integrated whole” was a “technical regulation” as defined in Annex 1.1 and thus covered by the TBT Agreement, as (i) the products subject to the ban were identifiable (i.e. any products containing asbestos); (ii) the measure was a whole laid down product characteristics; and (iii) compliance with the measure was mandatory. However, the Appellate Body did not complete the legal analysis of Canada's TBT claims as it did not have an “adequate basis” upon which to examine them. GATT Art. III:4 (national treatment – domestic laws and regulations): As the Appellate Body found the Panel's likeness analysis between asbestos and...

...scowling face of Yuzan and the powerful streaks coming from behind his head. This panel is placed almost exactly in the middle of the page and takes up quite a bit of space. I think the reason for this is because it’s important to express to the reader how angry, mean and shocked Yuzan is when he finds out his son cooked the Dashi dish. The top tier consists of two panels, one rounded edge word balloon and two jagged edged word balloons. Since we are reading, not hearing, the conversation, it is a little hard to understand how things are being stated (i.e. tone, pitch, or loudness). I believe the artist makes up for this through the characteristics of word balloons. Simply based on what is said in each word balloon, I have come to the conclusion that if the word balloon has a jagged edge, then it represents a more powerful, angry or important description. If the word balloon has a smooth or rounded edge to it, then the voice is most likely softer, less important or a conversation happening in the background of the scene. The appearances of the word balloons are also methodically placed. In the panel where Yuzan is yelling, one of the word balloons is cut off by the outline, while the other spreads across and overlaps the outline of the panel. I think the artist placed the jagged edged word balloon in such a way that it gives it more power or a “boom-like” affect. The second tier from the bottom, first panel, is...

...Guidelines for Conducting a Panel Discussion A panel discussion is designed to provide an opportunity for a group to hear several people knowledgeable about a specific issue or topic present information and discuss personal views. A panel discussion may help the audience further clarify and evaluate their positions regarding specific issues or topics being discussed and increase their understanding of the positions of others. How to Proceed 1. Identify, or help participants identify, an issue or topic that involves an important conflict in values and/or interests. The issue or topic may be set forth as a topical question, a hypothetical incident, a student experience, an actual case, etc. 2. Select panelists who are well informed about and have specific points of view regarding the issue or topic. A panel discussion that includes three to five panelists is usually most workable. Select a leader or moderator. 3. Indicate to panelists the objectives the panel discussion is designed to promote and allow-time for panel members to prepare for the discussion. In some situations ten or fifteen minutes may be sufficient time for preparation while in other situations, panel members may need to prepare several weeks in advance of the scheduled discussion. 4. Decide upon the format the panel discussion will follow. Various formats are appropriate. The following procedures have been used effectively: a. The leader or moderator introduces the topic and the panelists present...

...holocaust complicates his connection towards currency, and this consequently alters his relationships with Mala and Artie. Vladek’s relationship towards currency begins as a love story. Vladek is first attracted to Anja because of her wealth. The bottom of page twenty shows them at the park and the dialogue is an invite to dinner at her parents house. After the invite Vladek narrates that “The Zylberberg family was very well off- millionaires! (Spiegelman 20).” This panel shows his eyes in a very pleased manner as if he made the right decision in choosing a woman. It is the panels on the next page where he is assesses his wife to be. He comes in and the family welcomes him like he is royalty and then begins to poke around Anja’s personal belongings. By doing these acts Vladek sees woman in his life as a perception of currency. The old fling he leaves behind, Lucia, however tests his chances with the love for his currency. Page twenty four has Anja confronting Vladek’s motives for his love. The panels show Anja’s anger and devastation when she...

...who are communists and her uncle was in prison for 9 years because he was communist too. Marji reflects on the events around her and shares with the reader about the difficulties of the war and growing up with a regime changing culture. The school demonstrations become violent and she has more reasons to not to be living in Iran any longer. Her parents decide she should live in Austria. The panel on bottom page 146 has Marjane lying in bed. The frame of the panel is a rectangle that stretches from the entire left side of the page to the right side of the page. The panel’s height is about a third of the page, and looks somewhat similar to the other frames on the page. Above the panel there is a star and the words ‘equivalent to $5.00’ written in the gutter. That phrase does not apply to this frame, it applies to the frame above this one indicating that 500 tumans is 5 dollars. In the midground I see Marji’s face, her bed sheets, her pillow, her thought bubble, and Niloufar is standing next to her. There is no background caption in this panel. The graphic weight of the entire panel is black behind the figures. The figures are white which creates graphic weight contrast against the black background. My eye is drawn to the repeated black stars on her white bed...

...polycarbonate (PC), marketed by Bayer GmbH as Makrolon and by General Electric as Lexan or scratch-proof Margard. All plastic glazing products possess certain characteristics that must be clearly understood before they are installed or bonded with adhesives. In general, incorrectly installed plastic glazing panels are prone to environmental stress cracking (ESC). This can be aggravated by the use of the wrong adhesives. Sika Transportation_99 Plastic glazing products have a higher coefficient of thermal expansion than conventional glass. Therefore, when designing glazing installations, an expansion gap of at least 10 mm all round the periphery must be incorporated between the window rebate and the plastic glazing panel to accommodate thermal movement. Similarly, any clearance holes for fixing screws must be drilled oversize; slightly larger than the diameter of the screw shank. To minimise the risk of environmental stress cracking, flat sheets of plastic glazing material should be installed completely flat; they should not be forced to take up a curvature by the use of mechanical fastenings. When the design calls for curved glazing panels, these should be prefabricated to order and properly tempered by a specialist supplier to ensure installation with no resulting stresses. As many varieties of organic window exist, it is recommended to ensure that the specific grade selected is suitable for use with Sikaflex®-295 UV. Please note that the extruded...
