...Gregor has only slept in a couple hours late. This singular offense has summoned another employee to his home because all employees are “scoundrels” and it is more important that they be beguiled into work than be healthy or get the work done themselves. The man sent to Gregor house could have just as easily been working to earn the company money. Both Gregor’s lack of concern at his being a bug and the companies extreme concern for an hour of lost work represent the theme of absurdity in society. Mole hills are often made into mountains while the real problems are neglected. At this moment, Gregor’s bug problem should be the foremost concern of both his family and employer. “Once during the long evening one of the side doors was opened a little and quickly shut again, later the other side door too; someone had apparently wanted to come in and then thought better of it... In the early morning when the doors were locked, they had all wanted to come in, now that he had opened one door and the other had apparently been opened during the day, no one came in.”[Part II paragraph...

...they stand in his name and the interest and dividends are paid to him direct. Admittedly as regards the rest the apparent legal owners are his nominees and he receives the interest and dividends. Admittedly he has retained all the above interest and dividends and applied the same to his own use. But he contends that he is only a trustee for certain family companies which he has formed: that the interest and dividends are theirs and not his: that he has credited them in account, and that though he has had the benefit of them in specie this is because the family companies have lent him these moneys at interest which he has credited to them in account although he has not actually paid the interest in cash. He says that the family companies are under no obligation to declare a dividend, and are entitled to lend out their income in this way, even though it results over a series of years in the fixed preference dividends being unpaid and a large sum representing back income being accumulated in the hands of the assessee. The Advocate General on the other hand contends that the alleged disposition by the assessee in favour of each family company is a sham as is also the declaration of trust that the transactions are all paper transactions and not real....

...Family Dollar 5430 N Tryon St, Charlotte, NC 28213 RTL1005 – Professor Egeln Briona Brunson November 5, 2012 Executive Summary Introduction This executive summary will analyze the Family Dollar store on 5430 N Tryon Street, Charlotte, North Carolina 28213. The information presented will cover the category of retail, background information on the retailer, demographic profile, an overview of the exact location of this particular store, and the justification of the location chosen. Background Information In 1959, Levine opened the first Family Dollar store (History). The category of retail Family Dollar falls under is discount store. This discount store sells general merchandise ranging from “consumable products” to “treasure for every home” to apparel and even seasonal merchandise (Fact Sheet). The design of the store was to be “uniformly laid out and stocked” so that it “allowed customers to easily shop, (History).” According to the Family Dollar Facts webpage, the store’s mission was “to be a compelling place to shop for our customers, to be a compelling place to work for our team members, to be a compelling place to invest for our shareholders (Fact Sheet).” In other words, Levine did not want the store to focus on itself as a store but to focus on customer service, employment value, and investment in the company. This paired perfectly with the concept. That concept was “the customers are the boss, and you need to keep them happy (History).” Levine pictured the...

...The Three Stages Of Grief Grief is an emotion that we all experience in one point of our lives. It is sparingly, complex and found hard to overcome. There are three stages to the process of grieving. Each consist of denial, anger, and depression. Individuals say that if you get stuck in one stage you are not done yet the process of grieving. In Alice Sebold’s novel “The Lovely Bones,” characters Lindsey, Jack, and Abigail all go through these stages when Susie Salmon is raped and murdered. The first character who goes through the three stages is Lindsey who has a very distinct way of going through the stages. The next character that proceeds throughout the stages is Jack who grieves immensely. Finally Abigail, who distances herself from her family to complete her process of grieving. In this novel each character proves that after someone dies it is crucial to go through the three stages of grief in order to move on with life. To begin, Lindsey is the first character to experience the three stages of grief. Lindsey suffers a lot and correspondingly goes through the three stages of grief; the first stage being denial. When Lindsey returns to her school her principal Mr.Caden brings her into his office and sympathizes for her situation. Lindsey becomes angry and remarks. “ I wasn’t aware I had lost anything” (Sebold 33). This shows that Lindsey is still in denial. She is still not ready to expect the fact that her sister is now gone forever. However she is now on the road to...

... Admittedly the assessed is the legal owner of most of these funds in the sense that they stand in his name and the interest and dividends are paid to him direct. Admittedly as regards the rest the apparent legal owners are his nominees and he receives the interest and dividends. Admittedly he has retained all the above interest and dividends and applied the same to his own use. Facts: The Facts stated are such that it appears that in the year 1921 the assessed formed four private companies which can be known as family companies for convenience of reference, although in fact no other member of his family took any direct benefit there under. The names of these four companies were Petit Limited: The Bombay Investment Company Limited: The Miscellaneous Investment Company: and the Safe Securities Limited: Each of these companies took over a particular block of investments belonging to the assessed. But, as the modus operandi was substantially the same in each case it will suffice to follow out the fortunes of Petit Limited. Taking then Petit Limited as an example, this family company was incorporated about April 12, 1921, with a nominal capital of rupees ten millions divided ultimately into 9,99,900 45 ordinary shares of Rs. 10 each and one hundred preference shares of Rs. 10 each carrying a fixed cumulative...

...Family is the greatest gift in life, family in fact is the greatest gift that God has given to human being. Family is where we all belong to and from where our identity comes. A person can be judged from his valued that he has got from his family. We all belong to a family and it is our family that keeps us together through good and bad times. Without a family, no one is complete and the completeness comes with good family bonding. Family is all about pureness, trustworthiness, completeness. By just saying that you live with your family does not hold any values to being a part of the family. Five- six persons living in a house does not become a family. Family is a bond, a long lasting relationship that holds a bond with each other. Who can tell the value of a family then myself. Today I am away from my home for the last 4 months and there is not a single day when I have not missed my family. In fact I want to be honest here, I have never realised the value of a family, when I was with my family I guess most of the times I used to take everyone for granted, but know being away from my family, I know the value of a family. There are many values that one has to learn to get the family bonding in the right manner. Bonding does not happen overnight. It forms with every second, every minute that you spend with your loved ones. The understanding, the acceptance, the belonging and the security all enclosed together is how a family bond is formed. Whenever are in trouble or in...

...will be entering a 10 year joint venture with a government backed SCRTD Hungarian production facility. Alistair was originally instructed to find the ideal candidate for a Project Engineer for the initial operation which involved entire ownership of a Hungarian facility; and he had three solid potential candidates lined up for the job. The only problem with this is that now, Alistair has been asked to find the ideal candidate for a Quality Compliance Manager that can be ready to be in Hungary in five to six weeks. In the following sections I will respond to the questions presented at the end of this case study which include: selecting a candidate from the three candidates provided in Exhibit A of the case, develop an outline for the candidate recruitment process Trianon used to fit with ‘best’ selection processes and the strategic needs of Trianon, and lastly to determine if HR staff should be involved in decisions relating to international business operations similar to the ones presented in this case.

If I had to decide within the next twenty four hours, which of the three candidates presented in Exhibit...

...Heritage Assessment of Three Culturally Diverse Families Suzannah Turner NRS-429V Family-Centered Health Promotion 31 January 2016 Heritage Assessment of Three Culturally Diverse Families Being culturally competent and delivering culturally sensitive care is imperative for anyone in the medical profession. It is important because of the many diversities faced every day in the health care field. However, simply understanding the fact that there are so many health disparities is not enough. In order to reach out and effectively care for patients of different backgrounds and cultures one must understand the importance of cultural competency. In order to be culturally competent, a nurse must have knowledge of the different cultures, and have proper attitudes and skills that support patients of different cultures and backgrounds. Being culturally competent allows the nurse to plan the care around the patient’s different belief system and culture. Perhaps one of the most appropriate tools for aiding in cultural competency is the Heritage Assessment tool (HAT). The HAT assesses different ethnicities, religions, and cultural heritages including health traditions of individuals. The HAT promotes self-growth of the nurse and helps guide nurses in caring for the patient in a holistic manner. The HAT consists of 29 questions with different sections designed to assess different demographic backgrounds and certain personal health beliefs and practices. Completing an HAT helps the...

...Introduction My name is Wanjia Jiang. Before I went to JCCC, I have been to Warrensburg, MO for studying for two years. Warrensburg is not a big city or place for all of the international students because there is no convenient transportation. This city cannot bring more convenience to people in their daily life. However, most people love it here because there are nice people. They are living here and cannot leave here. The local people always enjoy life and help the international students. In fact, before I went JCCC, I was a girl who knows nothing. I used to using my father’s money at America. I did not understand how difficult to making money. I have no gold, no hope and no future.

...nuclear family functions to benefit all its members and society as a whole.’ (24 marks) According to Item A the nuclear family is the “ideal family type.” According to Murdock the nuclear family consists of a heterosexual couple that have at least one child. Murdock is a functionalist. Functionalists argue society is based on consensus (agreed norms and values). Consensus is achieved in society through the process of socialisation, which involves individuals learning norms and values. Norms and values are transmitted to children through social institutions such as the nuclear family. This benefits all members of society as it prevents anomie (chaos) and because it encourages social integration and social solidarity. Murdock argues that the family benefits all members of society as it performs four essential functions (sexual, economic, reproduction and socialization). Similarly Parsons argues that the family has two irreducible functions (primary socialization and stabalising adult personalities). Another functionalist, Fletcher, argues that the family performs three essential functions (regulation of sexual behavior; reproduction and child-rearing and home provisions). However, Marxists (such as Marx and Engels) argue that individuals don’t benefit from society, only the bourgeoisie benefits. Feminists (such as Liberal and radical feminists) criticize the functionalist view of the nuclear family and argue that women are ignored. Murdock claimed that the nuclear family had four...

...fully invoke what my advocacy focus entailed. For instance, mental health and behavioral management among primary physicians is not as sound as I would have hoped. In fact, the CDC says that 1-7 children aged 2 to 8 years old had a diagnosed mental, behavioral, or developmental disorder (CDC, n.d.). These statistics prove that teachers should understand how mental health and behavioral disorders are being treated. Part of this advocacy focus is to get the word out that yes mental health does exist among our young children, however, if not treated properly these disorders can continue to follow a child well into their adult life. As well as, families of these children should be rightly informed and...

...In Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird there were three unique families. The Ewells were poor and choose to live like animals. The Cunninghams were hardworking and only took what they could repay. The Finches were respected by all citizens in Maycomb and lived their life according to a definite code of values. This being said, the Ewells, Cunninghams and the Finches were three distinctly different families with differing code of values. Unquestionably, the Ewells were a filthy poor family that did not live by any code of values. This was shown to the reader by the way Maycomb bent the rules for this family. The Ewells were the only family in Maycomb who were allowed to hunt and trap year-round. The city allowed this due to that fact they would rather Mr. Ewell break a law if he was getting food for his children. “ ‘ … I don’t know of any landowner around here who begrudges those children any game their father can hit’ ” (41). In addition, the Ewells were an uneducated family. The children did not care to take the opportunity to get a proper education. This was due to the irresponsibility of their father in pushing them to attend school. “ ‘Been comin’ to the first grade o’ the first grade for three years now ’ ”(36). Furthermore, the Ewells did not value the quality of respect Mr. Ewell was evidently not respectful of his daughter Mayella nor was he respectful of the court of law. When he was called to testify he lied and even when so far as to pressure Mayella to lie too. “...

...Bait and Switch Does the fact that Betty drove three hours in one-hundred-degree heat have any bearing on whether or not the dealer must perform in accordance with the published advertisement? The fact that Betty had drove three hours in one hundred degree weather to the venue in which the car is being sold, has no bearing on whether the dealer must perform in accordance with the published advertisement. Generally, ads are not offers but invitations for offers. Advertisements include sales promotion and offers intended to the recipients in the form of direct marketing, or sponsorship. The law calls these advertisements to the general public an invitation to make an offer on a particular item. Since the ad does not embody an offer, then a contract between the two parties doesn’t exist because offer and acceptance must be present to qualify as an offer. This situation does not qualify under the bait and switch laws because there are no unfair practices being done by not selling the car to Betty based simply on the fact that she drove three hours to the dealership. Although Betty might argue that she relied on her detriment (the doctrine of detrimental reliance) on the ad, the dealership is not obligated to sell the truck to Betty simply because she endured some unfavorable conditions to get to the dealership to make an offer to purchase the truck. When Tony said over the phone "three thousand dollars firm," was he making an offer that, if accepted, would bind the dealership...

...PHI1103 Dr. Cohen - Top Three Fallacies. This is a list of the three fallacies that have come up most frequently in my Belief-Scan Summaries, which were completed during the spring 2013 semester. I am going to list the fallacies in descending order, with the most persistent fallacy listed first, the second most persistent fallacy listed second, and the third listed last. I will include a brief discussion about what "antidotes" I have taken, or I plan to take to avoid each of these fallacies in the future. The three fallacies that have come up most frequently in my Belief-Scan Summaries were: 1. Vague Terms (Meaning) 2. Smoke Screen (factual) 3. Had Things Been Different (Factual) The first fallacy, “vague terms” is a fallacy of meaning. Fallacies of meaning are committed when the words used have no clear meaning, making difficult for the receptor of the message to truly understand your reasoning. I learned that I need to clarify the intended meaning of my words, if I want the receptor of the message to truly understand what I intend to say. Words can have more than one meaning: you may intend to say something one way and the receptor of your message can understand it in a totally different way, thus the need to be very clear in what you say. For example, you could say to your spouse in the heat of an argument: “I wish we had a normal family”. If you just leave at that and do not clarify your meaning, your spouse can understand this statement in many different...
