...Condemns Practice Of Employers Demanding Employee Passwords Hi class, I am sure that some of you have heard the recent news about some employers requesting access to an applicant's Facebook account or demanding that the applicant hand over their login and password so the employer can view the private or protected content. Here is a recent article on Facebook's stance on this practice: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/23/facebook-employer-employee-passwords_n_1375020.html?ref=technology What are your thoughts on this? How would you respond during an interview if asked to provide access to your protected/private Facebook account? If you were in a position to hire people, would you request this information? Why or why not? I have never heard of this but it is good to know since I am looking for employment. I would differently be curious on why the interviewer would need or want my Facebook account information. I would ask a lot of question about this because my husband always tells me do not talk too much because you give out to much information that is one way you can get someone to steal your identity. If I were in a position to hire people I would not ask for any information about the person, I was interviewing about their Facebook account. If I know the person that was being interview by me, I might ask that person if I can friend them but I differently would ask about anything else to do with his Facebook account. I believe that the reason people have Facebook...

...the reasons for your recommendation. Mrs. Shania Jackson is a mature Christian thinking of opening a Christian coffeehouse near Denver, Colorado. Her husband, Marvin, is open to making a contribution of capital to the business, but has no interest in participating in its operation or management. Therefore, I believe a limited partnership would best accomplish Mrs. Jackson’s business goals. A limited partnership is a hybrid of a general partnership and a company. It is a separate legal personality and those who participate as limited partners have limited liability (Hay, 2008, p.1). Anyone can be a partner in a limited partnership (Hay, 2008, p.1). A limited partnership must have at least one general partner and one limited partner (Hay, 2008, p.1). General partners are the partners who are responsible for the management of the partnership (Hay, 2008, p.1). Limited partners are usually investors and are prohibited from taking part in the management of the partnership (Hay, 2008, p.1). Both general partners and limited partners may have a capital interest in the partnership (Hay, 2008, p.1). Since Mrs. Jackson’s husband is only open to making a contribution of capital to the business, and Kelsey and Carlos are just looking to work there, this type of business form would be perfect for Mrs. Jackson to accomplish her business goals. 2. Advise Shania on whether her company should become a franchise or should open as an independent coffeehouse. Explain your recommendation....

...Buying a bad home that turn out to be a Lemon When Michael, my husband and I purchase this three bedroom in Houston, Texas in November of 2006, we were so happy to have found us a home. It was in a nice seam like quite area brick with a iron fence that you needed remote control to enter into the gate. It had a nice size front and back yard that "seemed perfect" for just the two of us. When we first look at the home I was a little sceptical because it did need some repairs and it was just something about the house that I could fill in my spirit that wasn't right. But because my husband liked the house so much and he was purchasing it from a friend of his it was ok. So we moved into the home and decided to rent the home for a year . The kitchen floor needed to be replace and inside the bathroom there was no sink or face board. The gentleman that we were purchasing the home from paid for all the expensive to get the home fix and repaired. Other than that we decide not to change anything other than making sure the dining room floor was repaired and the living room floor. We had a wooden floor put down in the dining area and we place ceramic tile in hte living room.Other than that it was too good to be true provided the rent was only $500 month. So after a year of renting the home we decided to purchase the home. Just months after we purchase, the home we found ourselves in a lot of problems with the home. We keep hearing a lot of noise in the attic and didn't know what it was....

...For this assignment I chose Double Jeopardy from CSI Miami, season four episode eighteen. In this episode a husband is found innocent of his wife's murder just as her missing body is being pulled from the ocean by a fisherman. March 26 Mr. Rowe discovered his wife’s racial status and she disappeared on October 5th but the husband waited 3 days to report her death. During this time he practiced killing Terisa Matherdy. Losing four twenty lb weight set in the process. The CSI team must try to find new evidence linking the husband to the deed since he can't be tried again with the same evidence...as it is considered "Double Jeopardy." A little evidence and timely confessions shows that the husband and his girlfriend did, indeed, kill the wife Melisa Rowe. My uncle Lieutenant Steve Helm stated that he has seen CSI more often driving a 1990's pickup truck rather than a $60,000 Hummer, as seen on the show CSI. But when you’re a movie star you can drive whatever company is paying the advertising bills. In Hollywood’s depicture of real life organizations this type of flashy brand new equipment is expected. Forensic scientists are rarely actually involved in solving cases, as the show depicts. A team of scientists is usually called out once a month to a crime scene to investigate fingerprints, firearms, trace evidence, document blood splatter patterns, collect footprints and tire prints, footwear patterns, and other evidence. My uncle said, “Forensic scientists rarely go to most...

Phil's life insurance provided a disappointingly small amount of money for Mrs. Filmore. Since in 1999 the standard of living had change considerably it was lower and interest rates much higher, so the investment income from the proceeds of the policy would have been adequate for the family's needs. But then again in 1999 it had changed again the cost of living had increased but interest rates had fallen. 2. Problem Statement, Objective(s)...

...Aquinas a hug. Courtney: It’s so nice to see you again Aquinas. (Looks at the other four men) Hello everyone, I’m Courtney; I am a friend of Aquinas. Sorry for interrupting your meal, but I have a serious matter to discuss with Aquinas in hopes that he can help me. Aquinas: That is why I invited you here. When you called and said you had a dilemma I thought it would be a good idea to have you come here and get the advice and opinions of these great philosophers. As long as your okay with opening up to them about your problem? Courtney: I don’t mind at all, especially because I could use all the advice I can get right now and have very little time to make a decision. Courtney grabs a chair and brings it back to the table to sit in. Aquinas: Whatever the dilemma, there is always a right and wrong thing that can be done. So let us figure it out and start by you letting us know what this troublesome dilemma is. Courtney: Well it all began on Tuesday morning at my work. I work for a company as a secretary and have for two years. After divorcing my husband two years ago for having an affair, I decided to get a job to support my two children. Luckily, my good friend Karen got her husband, Jerry, to hire me as his secretary at his firm. The job is fairly easy and pays well and also allows me to have time for my children. Aquinas: It seems to me that your husband was not a good Christian and that you are doing the best you can. What is the problem? Courtney: Well...

...Betty Wilson, a mature Christian, is thinking of opening a Christian Coffee House in Belmont, NC. Her husband John is open to making a contribution of capital to the business, but he has no interest in participating in its operation or management. Her sister Alice, is a new Christian, and has informed Betty that she’s been looking for an excuse to get out of the house and that she would love to be a part of the business. Alice’s husband, a non-Christian, opposes her involvement and told her that he expects her to remain a stay-at-home mom to their daughters, Ally and Lisa, ages 13 and 15. Betty’s neighbor Erma, a non-Christian, has also expressed an interest in participating in the business as a way to earn some extra income. As a consultant, I will address the pluses and minuses of the following business forms so that Betty might adopt a business structure that is the best fit for her success. “A Sole Proprietorship, is a business owned by one person with no formal legal structure. The advantage is simple. Just start your business; there's no additional paperwork. You don't file corporate income tax; just file a Schedule "C" with your personal income taxes. The disadvantages are you have no personal liability protection. If your business is sued, you could lose everything you own, and in some cases, your spouse could lose his or her assets, too. A Partnership is a business with more than one owner who actively engages in the management of the company. The advantages are...

... does any race-conscious remedy simply cause discrimination. Affirmative action is more than a black-and-white issue, it is women, Latinos, and Asian-Americans who are also affected but often ignored. I read a book many years ago to understand better the statements above. I am a white 58 year old male from the Saratoga area. I was born here, left, went in the service, lived other places and like seems more usual than unusual, you end up back in your home town. I only bring this point to be because it is where your points and discussions are formed. I have been the benefactor of the education and jobs most would be grateful for. I have lived in Boston where discrimination was rampant. I have lived in New York where every culture exists. I say this to say if we did not have some type of policy the playing field would be less fair than it is today. I do not know the answer because as with most important matters I think both sides are right. As a hiring Sales Manager in Software I have been told many times behind a closed door that I needed to hire a woman, an African American or a Hispanic. I never through a fit or argued because it was my job to make it work. I have come to the conclusion that it is just plain difficult to get it right. My own personal opinion comes from if a white man doesn’t get a job because an African American was needed to be hired to be fair it seems unfair to the white man. However, with age comes some wisdom. I have come to learn that if that...

...answers. What if an individual does not have a living will? Who would be in charge in making final decisions for someone who cannot physically make those decisions? The story of Terri Schiavo brings about many questions that represent moral, ethical, and legal issues. On February 25th 1990, Terri Schiavo suffers cardiac arrest, apparently caused by potassium imbalance and leading to brain damage due to lack of oxygen. The cerebral cortex had been completely destroyed and replaced by cerebrospinal fluid. Her upper brain was estimated to be about 80 percent destroyed. However her brainstem, which is responsible for breathing and heartbeat, was still functioning properly. This allowed Schiavo to survive with the assistance of a feeding tube. Terri Schiavo was diagnosed to be in a Persistent Vegetative State (P.V.S). The time frame that Terri Schiavo collapsed she was married to Michael Schiavo. Terri and Michael Schiavo married in 1984 which made Michael the spouse and through the appointment of the court, legal guardian of Terri Schivao. Husband Michael Schiavo believed that his wife would never want to be in a vegetative state. “Michael had been engaged in a court battle with Terri’s parents since 1998, seeking court sanction for the removal of the feeding tube that would end her life. She had become brain injured following mysterious circumstances in 1990 at home alone with Michael Schiavo. After her husband was successful in winning a medical malpractice suit with the award...

Training offered him the lessons on how to obey orders, operate equipment and serve with other men and women who would become brothers and sisters throughout the rest of his life. Nine years later he is disharged and returns home to his wife, children, family and friends. All the training and experience couldn't prepare him for what the world now had to offer. Reintegration into society. Relearning how things are done properly in civilian life. Learning all over again to trust the people he was once close too. A few months relaxing and getting to know everyone all over again and off he goes to find a job. Who will hire him? What type of job will it be? Regardless of these questions he proceeds. Sorry We can't hire you without experience. Truly sorry but your experience isn't the experience that we are looking for. Military did you say? We aren't hiring at the moment but feel free to take an application with you. He managed platoons of men. He was responsible for millions of dollars of equipment and here he was being told he was "over qualified" to work at WAWA. What does he do now? He sells cars. He's not very good at it.

In acting the way that she does, Alisoun is teaching men how it feels to be in the role of the typical woman in a relationship. She is controlling, she steals, and she cheats, but most importantly the Wife of Bathe is teaching the men how not to present themselves to women. Not only is she teaching how women should be respected in society, but Alisoun is educating the men in her lives that women deserve to be treated on the same social plane as the men in the community. Representing an early feminist role, since feminism was not yet documented at the time, the Wife of Bathe presents herself not at a higher...
