It begins with the lawsuit against brought against McDonald’s by Stella Lieback who sued for third-degree burns she suffered after spilling a scalding cup of coffee that was served to her in their drive-thru. Stella Lieback’s suit against McDonalds created a media storm and at the time it was hard to find someone who had not heard about the case. As a result of her injuries, 79-year-old Stella endured a lengthy stay in hospital, where she required surgery, skin grafts and therapy, for which she was awarded over $2 million - but she was left with a damages award of less than $200,000. She eventually settled with McDonald's out of court. The Lieback story is used in the film to illustrate how big corporations used the case as a catalyst for tort reform.
Rhodes found that Taber had deliberately slowed down her drink orders and had put a lemon wedge in her customer’s milk. Resolutions must be taken immediately because the conflict has already jeopardized the customers’ satisfaction of the restaurant. Problems Firstly, conflict between the employees is the most serious problem at present. Such conflict has directly leaded to communication difficulty between new employees and Taber. On the other hand, Taber claimed that some chits from Rhodes were missing and that was why she did not make Rhodes’s drink.
The crushed coffee grounds would dissolve with the water, forming a solution of water and coffee. However, not all of the coffee beans would dissolve. The insoluble chunks of the coffee beans would remain solid and stay apart from the water. Due to the mixing of the coffee and the water, the solution would take on a brown color and have a distinct smell. 2.
This next line comes from an online review written by Janet Maslin, titled “Fried Green Tomatoes”, found on the NYT website explaining “The film's overstatement is such that Evelyn has to appear in flowered frocks and stiff hairdos, nibbling candy bars and gazing longingly at her equally rotund husband, to establish the fact that she is unhappy.” This line re emphasizes how Evelyn’s eating habits suggest her current unhappy state. In the movie she explains that she eats because she’s sad, and she’s sad because she eats. Her husband’s indifference to their marriage validates her insecurities, which further fuels the unfortunate cycle. This is a clear
Here is what I had said for the Topamax and Mary’s headache 7. The Topamax is causing the acid-base disturbance and her respiratory system is attempting to compensate through hyperventilation to decrease H+ and bring her pH up. The H+ however is increasing because the Topamax is causing the renal carbonic anhydrase to redirect HCO3- out of the body and retain H+. 8. B: Ingestion of an acidifying drug in this case is to blame.
Lieback vs. McDonald and Pearson vs Chungs: the frivolous lawsuits Introduction Our legislative system is full of frivolous litigations that are extraordinary as well as unsettling. The two cases to be compared are the Stella Lieback case where an elderly woman sued McDonald’s after she spilled a hot cup of coffee on herself and the Roy L. Pearson, Jr., case where he sued Custom Cleaners for losing his pants. The purpose for writing this paper is to outline the facts and discuss the value the cases has had on lawmaking. Both Lieback and Pearson cases have been labeled “frivolous lawsuits”. Lawsuits have been a thorn in the side of business owners for quite some time.
Add the HCl SLOWLY to the magnesium by running it down the side of the beaker. Adding the acid too quickly will result in the spattering of the acid. Write down any observations of the reaction. 6. After all the acid has been completely added and the reaction has stopped, use a pipette to add a few extra drops of acid into the beaker until the reaction stops.
I, however, believe that Monika killed Jimi out of jealousy of his relationship with Devon and other woman. She was talking to friend after his death and wrote a book later saying how her and Jim spoke about marriage. Jimi was the biggest free love free spirit. Devon was said to be the closest thing he had to a girlfriend. I also believe that she killed him because there was said to have been a towel with substantial amounts of red wine and all over the sheets and Jimi.
In the aftermath of the tragedy at Jonestown, the phrase "drink the Kool-Aid" became a popular expression for blind obedience, as the Temple members had apparently accepted cups of devilish fruity poison keenly. The people of America are not “drinking the Kool-Aid” that the Jonestown people did. They are knowledgeable and will not blindly jump on the “bandwagon’ that others may follow. Though, there are not any laws that can protect citizens from creating a cult or from joining one, the massacre was a lesson. Americans are now aware of the dangers of joining a group or an organization without full knowledge.
In the book, Candle in the Wind by Maureen Wartski, “revenge is a dish that tastes best when served cold.” Because with all the tension and hatred after Harris’ death, Terri had to deal with a lot of anger issues and excruciating pain in her heart, so her actions are considered appropriate. The loss of Terri’s brother inflicted a lot of grief and anger for her. “I will hate Rodney Waring till I die.” (p.126) Terri’s loss has left her feeling an emptiness that is filled with hate. She uses her notebook to express her feelings because she realized that hate will suffocate her if she doesn’t express in any kind of way. Terri used to be a joyous person until Harris succumbed.“Until the night Harris died, I love the sound of rain.” “Now I hate
