...intruder that tried to break into Sharon apartment. Sharon and the resident manager were badly injured during the attack. There are legal questions that need to answer to ensure there is no liability on my behalf. There are two areas that will be covered in this paper on business torts and ethics. Business torts is define as the law that covers a wide range of misconduct including personal injuries, negligence, and malpractice. In this paper, I will be objective and look at all sides of the conflict and assess my responsibilities. Liability of the Intruder It is my opinion that the intruder is liable for what he has done to Sharon the tenant. The intruder broke into her apartment and attacked Sharon and the resident manager. The intruder also harmed Sharon and the resident manager that left them with cuts and bruises. This is considered aggravated assault and jail time can be served. This could also be considered an armed robbery, the intruder went into a person property with a weapon in the midst of a burglary. I also think the intruder is liable for the damages that were done to the apartment when he was trying to break in. This would be civil damages and because I’m the owner of the building I will take him to court for civil lawsuit. Business tort shares some overlap with other types of crimes that can harm people. Legal Responsibility In this case of someone trying to break into the apartment, I have no legal responsibility to Sharon. However I do feel that I could...

...Paul Yee’s “Teach Me to Fly, Skyfighter!” tells the tale of Sharon, a Canadian born Chinese girl living in Vancouver. Young Sharon struggles to discover a true identity that can embrace both of her cultures. As Sharon was born in Canada, she knows little about her Chinese background. This unfamiliarity seems to force her to shy away and have distaste for anything having to do with Chinese culture, including the Chinese immigrants in her class and even her own grandfather, Yeh-yeh. With the help of listening to the life story of a Chinese immigrant kite maker, Sharon’s acceptance of both cultures into her life is guided by the significance behind the kites in this story. The question is, how were these kites so important to Sharon’s character development? Through understanding the...

...communicable diseases, and they form a web of causality, which increases or decreases the risk of disease (Lewis, 2011).One of the communicable diseases that cause a great fear nowadays throughout the world is HIV. The layout of the paper focuses on the descriptions, demographics, health determinants and role of the community health nurse. Good intro Description of Communicable Disease HIV is a fragile virus. It can only be transmitted under specific conditions that allow contact with infected blood, semen, vaginal secretions, and breast milk (Lewis, Sharon, 2011). Transmission of HIV occurs through sexual intercourse with an infected partner, exposure to HIV infected blood or blood products and perinatal transmission during pregnancy at delivery, or through breastfeeding (Lewis, Sharon, 2011). Causes The HIV is a RNA virus. RNA virus are called retroviruses (Lewis, Sharon, 2011). Like all viruses, HIV cannot replicate unless it is inside a living cell. Initial infection with HIV results in large amounts of virus in the blood. HIV infects human cells with CD4 receptors on their surfaces. Immune dysfunction in HIV disease is predominantly the result of damage to and destruction of CD4 cells (Lewis, Sharon, 2011). Symptoms (Lewis, Sharon, 2011) HIV infected patients have many signs/symptoms which can effect all the systems. Nutrition: weight loss, anorexia, nausea, vomiting; lesions, bleeding, or ulcerations of lips, moth, gums, tongue, or throat. Skin rashes, lesions...

...Business Writing Portfolio Sharon Tucci XCOM 285 October 7, 2012 Karen Blatter-Schieler Capstone Checkpoint - Reflection Sharon Tucci XCOM/285 October 5, 2012 Karen Blatter-Schieler In this class I have learned effective writing skills which I plan to use when needed in my current job and more importantly my future job whatever that may be. My current job is very informal and does not require me to write very often. Once I graduate college I plan to leave this position behind and move forward in the banking industry which I know will be much more professional. It is there where I really plan to utilize these skills, whether I will be writing internal memos, corresponding with clients, preparing a report for my superior, or writing e-mails. I think one of the most important lessons I learned in taking this class was the difference between academic writing and business writing. Especially since I am currently a student it can be difficult to make that transition. Writing papers for class I am used to trying to impress my instructor with an extensive vocabulary and using a lot of “fluff” to make my papers flow and to meet certain word requirements. Where in business writing I do not want my audience to need a dictionary to translate what I am saying, most people are busy and will probably be juggling several tasks while trying to read the document. It needs to be quick and to the point delivering only necessary information. This is a class that I think everyone...

...reasons to take precaution to avoid civil and criminal liability. Companies can do so by complying with the law (Pagnattaro, Cahoy, Magid, Reed, & Sheed, 2016, p. 7). This week in Contemporary Business Law, the class was given a scenario regarding a property management business dealing with a legal issue. This paper will describe the scenario, define the company’s legal obligations, differentiate among some of the potential torts that might arise from this business context, discuss ways to prevent the risk of the potential torts, lastly apply and evaluate the ethical principles and responsibilities of the business. The Scenario “Springfield Arms Apartments is a business that rents primarily to students. One evening, your tenant Sharon is attacked by an intruder who forces the lock on the sliding glass door of her ground-floor apartment. Sharon's screams attract the attention of Darryl, your resident manager, who comes to Sharon's aid. Together, Darryl and Sharon drive the intruder off, but not before they both are badly injured by the intruder.” “Springfield Arms Apartments is a business that rents primarily to students.

...Business Torts and Ethics Paper ETH/321 October 5, 2015 Mauri Hawkins Business Torts and Ethics Paper Generally speaking, an intruder who invades other people’s premises is considered to have surrendered their rights. This means that the occupants have a right to defend themselves through whatever means they consider to be ‘reasonable force’. At times, the use of deadly force is justifiable, especially when the intruder causes (or is even believed to have the intention to cause) bodily harm. The bottom-line is that the owners/occupants of the premises in question are allowed to do anything within their power, as long as their actions are not grossly disproportionate (Clarke, 2012; Medsger, 2014). It is relatively easy to argue the case against the intruder. In this case, the intruder is evidently liable for the harm and the loss incurred. In most of the states and even internationally, the law regard the people defending themselves as potential witnesses, and not as potential offenders. Sharon and Darryl acted reasonably, and this would still have been the argument bad they knocked this burglar out cold. Nonetheless, it would be wrong to, say, stick a knife or even continue hitting the intruder after he has obviously been neutralized. The intruder is liable, and Sharon and Darryl are potential witnesses (Sennewald & Christman, 2011). Landlord’s Responsibility In most of the states, the landlords are required to protect the tenants as much as possible...

Surprisingly, Livingston’s still breathing -- she speedily calls out to Kim, growls like a starving Sahara lioness on a hunt. “Livingston's still alive! We gave this bastard enough to take out an elephant. His big ass should’ve been dead twenty minutes ago!” At this instance, Livingston's cell phone on a nightstand begins to ring. Kim glances at Myra alarmed, who could this be they wonder. After numerous rings, Kim reluctantly picks up the cell phone, the caller I.D. reads – SHARON CHOW - Sharon is Livingston's twenty-six-year-old girlfriend, also his secretary of three years that he pays a million and a half a year. -- This complicates everything.

...Student Academic Resource Center We teach the tools that are indispensable to learning Study Skills for Nursing Students These suggestions for study skills for nursing students came from nursing faculty and students. Use what you can and if you would like one-to-one guidance to refine your learning skills for nursing courses, call the Student Academic Resource Center at 8235130 and make an appointment with the learning skills counselor. From Sue Wickham, Academic Achievement Center Instructor at Des Moines Area Community College: “Although I haven't designed study skills workshops specifically for nursing students, I have worked extensively on an individual basis with students in our nursing program. What's helped me most in giving study skills advice has been reviewing tests with students to identify the sources of their errors. Based on those interactions, here are a few topics you should emphasize: 1. 2. Time management is a HUGE issue for nursing students. Many of them are parents (often single parents) holding down jobs with odd hours (they're likely to be CNAs). Study groups are an absolute necessity in this program. Students need to rehearse the material actively, honing their teamwork skills, and combine a little social life with academics. The standard suggestions for taking multiple choice tests (e.g. watch out for absolutes) don't go very far. Students need to be made aware of the importance of applying concepts to particular cases, not just memorizing definitions...

... It was introduced on 1 October 1952. It was listed on the stock exchange on 15 September 1997. The company offers milk products yoghurt, fresh milk, steri milk and fresh cream. Food like mello ice, monsta mouse and also beverages like cascade, quench and nutri plus. The company’s vision is to be the best and most successful food company in Africa, commanding a position of sustainable growth driven by technology and market share leadership and the mission is to be the most sought after marketer of nutritious foods and beverages with domestic dominance and regional presence. I, Ms Sharon Sanyanga as a corporate communication officer of Dairiboard Limited Company, I was shocked to see that my company was listed in the newspaper of Sunday Mail because of operating with improper papers. The Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) tarnished my company’s image in that, it said the company had no enough paper work that was needed for it to be listed on the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange (ZSE). The (ZIMRA) authorities indicated that my company was making extra profits which were not benefiting the nation as a whole, hence it was not to be listed on the (ZSE) until all missing paperwork was provided This also chased away potential investors for my company and many consumers. After a month the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) realised that it had made a typing error. It was not my company which was operating illegally. Instead of typing Alpha and Omega Holding on the list it then went on jotting...

...Project Management March 28, 2014 Abstract This paper will discuss a case study from the text book “Project Management: A Managerial Approach.” The case is titled “The Sharon Construction Corporation.” The case consists of a construction company that has won a contract for an upcoming project. The project is erecting a 20,000-seat stadium. The case is very in-depth in regards to the different stages of the project, and the amount of time that each stage will take to complete. Within the case, there are five different proposals that are given by the management team. Each of these proposals contains ways to reduce time, and work around specific identified risks that are associated with completing the project. In this paper, I will discuss the overall project timeline, the five proposals, and identify the best solution to complete the project on time, and with the most profit possible for the company. Project Overview The upcoming project for The Sharon Construction Corporation is a project that has the potential to generate a substantial profit of $300,000. In order to maximize this potential profit, there are several risks that are associated that need to be analyzed and thought out to arrive at the most economically efficient conclusion. The first risk is the complication of the dates associated with the start and completion date. Construction on the project must start by February 15. Once the project is started, the company has one...
