SMALL BUSINESS LAW 1 SMALL BUSINESS LAW 3 Week 6 – Draft Research Paper Brian Cooke Wilmington University BLA 310 – Small Business Law 04/23/2020 Abstract It is indeed true that proper management of small businesses can offer protection from liability. Liability refers to the situation of being responsible for a particular act. A business is liable financially and legally. Proper liability risk management protects small businesses. The paper discusses several ways in which adequate management of liability risks can help in protecting small businesses against liabilities such as financial liabilities and legal liabilities. Proper procurement, cost, and change management also protect small businesses against liabilities. How Proper Management of a Small Business Can Provide Protection from Liability Operating a business can be fun, profitable, and challenging. However, the owner of a small business is legally liable hence can get sued. A lawsuit can be costly, emotionally draining, and time-consuming. For many small businesses, accusations associated with pending lawsuits can seriously damage their reputation. Civil suits against companies have increased by over 300% in the past two decades. Owners of small businesses need to protect themselves from huge expenses and devastating results resulting from unfavorable decisions in court. Many owners of small businesses fear to incur losses if a particular individual sues them. This is mainly for business owners who finance their companies using their capital. Liability comes in the form of financial liability and legal liability. These forms of liability have significant impacts on small businesses. There are several ways in which small business owners can go about limiting the possibility of legal liabilities to ensure the continuity of a business. They include purchasing specific types of insurance covers and transforming the business into a limited liability company or corporation (LLC) (Gupta, 2019). These ways will help safeguard small companies against liability. However, one significant way in which small business owners can protect their businesses from liability is to ensure that various aspects of a business are properly managed. This paper examines how proper management of small companies can offer protection from liability. Getting to Understand the Business Liability Liability refers to the situation of being responsible for a particular act (Mancuso, 2019). A business is liable financially and legally (Mancuso, 2019). Any business is financially liable since there are some liabilities, such as payable debts. For instance, if a business applies for a loan, the outstanding loan balance will be regarded as a liability. This is because the business is responsible and obli.

Small Business Consulting Report I. INTRODUCTION In this small consulting report, we will be analyzing the company WOSH to determine its strengths, weaknesses and possible solutions to all of its operational problems which can be addressed from a consulting perspective. We will provide an in depth report which will outline the approach we feel should be deemed best for the company to follow to gain success in their industry. In this report we will not present a financial analysis of the company due to the fact that the company’s owner has decided the information is too confidential to share with anyone, but himself and his personal financial team at this moment. We will instead focus on the other aspects of the business which can be fully analyzed and possibly improved upon. In our report we will be looking directly into many aspects of the company’s current operations. We will begin by analyzing the company’s background. We will look briefly at when and where it was founded, who founded it, what their mission statement is, what their ultimate goal is in terms of expansion and what are their primary products or services they offer. We will then take a brief look at what the company’s structure is like. We will do this in order to try to later determine where all decisions are made and by who and which level in the company has the most influence on how effectively the company is run. This can be very important when analyzing how a firm conducts day-to day operations. We will then take a look at all aspects of the company separately to try to find problems in the company’s operations. We will first take a look at the company’s current management approach, which refers to the way current management is handling all assets and employees which can be either loosely or closely managed. We will try to determine if all assets are being put to the best use possible with their approach or if a different approach is needed. We will also be looking into the company’s current marketing strategy and we will try to determine why they have chosen that specific strategy. In addition, we will determine whether or not this chosen strategy is the best fit for the company or if a different strategy approach may serve the company better and more effectively. Next we will look at the company’s current target market and we will determine if it is in fact the current target market the company is attracting. If it is not, then we will try to analyze why this is happening or even try to evaluate if they are even reaching those who they want and need to reach. Additionally, we will also take a look at how regular customers and businesses customers feel about the company. Talking to regular customers and business customers will help us determine their level of satisfaction and also to determine whether the company has any competitive advantages which helps distinguish it from competition. We will then evaluate if these advantages could possibly can be.

slides/10 Crusade and the Twelfth Century.pptx 3 León’s First Queen Alfonso VI married his daughter to Alfonso I of Aragon. Urraca was already a widow, with a legitimate son (and heir) born in 1104 named… Alfonso. Ruled the kingdom from 1109-1126. Incest makes the world go round The marriage of Urraca and Alfonso of Aragon was a violation of canon (Church) law, which forbid relations between third (or closer) cousins. Both Urraca and Alfonso were great-grandchildren of Sancho the Great, and were thus cousins. Such marriages were considered consanguineous, meaning the partners “shared blood”. What is more important… political expediency or Church approval? Unhappy Marriage Political expediency doesn’t work… no kids. Urraca said Alfonso beat her, and she used this as grounds for separation. Alfonso said Urraca was an adulteress, and blamed her scandalous sexuality on her polygamous father. Urraca as Queen Alfonso el Batallador King of Aragon from 1104-1134 Conquered Zaragoza in 1118, more than doubling the size of Aragon. Military man, uninterested in family life. After Urraca died, he remarried, but never produced an heir. Fascination with the crusade. Christendom and Crusade Church Reform in the Eleventh Century Cluny Monastic reform Church reform Independence from kings and nobles Restore the leading role of the church in society Power of the pope, hierarchy Create a stronger Christian society Peace and Truce of God Curb the bad behavior of knights, lords, the warrior aristocracy Limit sinful activity (murder, violence, etc) Church councils began placing restrictions on combat, forbidding fighting on Sundays, holidays (Holy Days), and anywhere near churches. Spiritual sanctions were used to enforce this– excommunication. The Reform movement in Iberia Cluniac monasteries Cluniac bishops: Toledo, Valencia Around 1100 the Kingdom of León abandoned its traditional mass (known as the Mozarabic mass) in favor of the Roman mass, on Alfonso VI’s orders. Beginning in the eleventh century, the papacy began taking greater interest in Iberian affairs… for example, condemning the incestual marriage of Urraca and Alfonso of Aragon. Gregory VII Pope 1073-1085 Aggressively promoted the rights of the Church over secular rulers– he excommunicated the Holy Roman Emperor (King of Germany) Imagined harnessing the power of a united Christendom, under papal control, which could do all sorts of great things, like conquer the Holy Land! The Holy Land Pilgrimage destination since the days of Constantine… Visit the sites of the Bible. Pilgrimage was very popular in the elventh century… most people visited local holy sites, but the ambitious (or wealthy) might travel to Rome, Santiago or even Jerusalem Pope Urban and the Idea of Crusade The secretary of Gregory VII became Pope Urban II in 1088.

Methods: The School Health Promotion Study was based on an anonymous self-report questionnaire conducted in 90% of the municipalities in Finland. The study was conducted during 2008 and 2010 in South- ern Finland, Eastern Finland, and Lapland, and during 2009 and 2011 in Western Finland, Northern Finland, and Åland. Several indicators were used to measure school performance and motivation. Acci- dents and health-related complaints, such as depressive symptoms, sleep quality, neck or shoulder pains, lower back pains, stomachaches, anxiety or nervousness, irritation or tantrums, headaches, and tiredness or dizziness were analyzed in relation to the usual bedtime. Our study had a relatively large sample size (N = 384,076), consisting of students in the eighth and the ninth grades of secondary schools and the first and the second grades of upper secondary and vocational schools (ages 14–20 years) in Finland. Results: All of the various indicators used to assess school performance and motivation suggest that the later the bedtime of adolescents, the lower their school performance and their motivation. Similarly later bedtimes increase the OR for depressive symptoms and other negative health consequences in adolescents as well as a tendency towards accidents. All of these problems were emphasized in students with bedtimes of 11:30 PM and later. Conclusions: Late bedtimes, especially those after 11:30 PM, indicate poor sleep w.

Slavin and Schunk (2021) posit that intentional teachers, both individually and collaboratively, purposefully create ways to foster learning and to meet the needs of each one of their students. The word “intentional” is very profound. It implies that one takes the initiative to purposefully carry out a task for an intended objective. When it comes to individuals with exceptionalities and diverse needs, some individuals warmly embrace these individuals and welcome them into their classrooms while others do not for a myriad of reasons. In this module you are studying about learner differences and individuals with exceptionalities. When Germany was under the Nazi regime the phrase "life unworthy of life" (in German: "Lebensunwertes Leben") was used since some felt that some individuals had no right to live. There were times throughout history that people felt that individuals with disabilities or diverse needs should be treated differently. When you examine the realities of history, the power of language, and the ethical or unethical behaviors surrounding caring for and educating individuals with differences, it provides a deeper understanding as to why laws have been created throughout the years to promote ethical practices and to cultivate effective learning opportunities for all individuals. It is essential for educators and future leaders to have an understanding of history, critically analyze it through a biblical lens, and determine how to approach, nurture, and educate these individuals with diverse and special needs. Review the 1968 documentary, "Suffer the Little Children: Pennhurst Pennsylvania State Home for Disabled Children." Regarding what happened at Pennhurst: How does this affect you as an educator, aspiring educator, and individual now, and in what ways has your own attitude and language changed over the years? What is a biblical approach to welcoming, nurturing, and educating learners with diverse needs or exceptionalities that you can intentionally apply in your own life? .

Sleep & Memory/Review Sleep, dreams, and memory consolidation: The role of the stress hormone cortisol Jessica D. Payne and Lynn Nadel1 The University of Arizona, Department of Psychology, Tucson, Arizona 85721, USA We discuss the relationship between sleep, dreams, and memory, proposing that the content of dreams reflects aspects of memory consolidation taking place during the different stages of sleep. Although we acknowledge the likely involvement of various neuromodulators in these phenomena, we focus on the hormone cortisol, which is known to exert influence on many of the brain systems involved in memory. The concentration of cortisol escalates over the course of the night’s sleep, in ways that we propose can help explain the changing nature of dreams across the sleep cycle. There is currently no convincing explanation for why we dream or what we dream about. In this article we propose an approach to dreaming that focuses on the relationship between sleep and memory. We suggest that dreams reflect a biological process of long-term memory consolidation, serving to strengthen the neural traces of recent events, to integrate these new traces with older memories and previously stored knowledge, and to maintain the stability of existing memory representations in the face of subse- quent experience (Winson 1985, 2002, 2004; Kali and Dayan 2004). It is generally assumed that long-term memory consolidation involves interactions among multiple brain systems, modu- lated by various neurotransmitters and neurohormones. We propose that the characteristics of dreams are best understood in the context of this neuromodulatory impact on the brain systems involved in memory consolidation. Although a number of neurotransmitters and neurohormones are likely involved, we focus our attention in particular on the stress hormone cortisol, which has widespread effects on memory during waking life through its impact on many of the critical brain structures implicated in memory function. Our hypothesis, briefly stated, is that variations in cortisol (and other neurotransmitters) determine the functional status of hippocampal ↔ neocortical circuits, thereby influencing the memory consolidation processes that transpire during sleep. The status of these circuits largely determines the phenomenology of dreams, providing an explanation for why we dream and of what. As a corollary, dreams can be thought of as windows onto the inner workings of our memory systems, at least those of which we can become conscious. In addition to exploring these ideas in more detail, we provide some background concerning (1) the states of sleep and the role of various neurotransmitters in switching from one sleep state to another, (2) how the characteristics of dreams vary as a function of sleep state, (3) the memory content typically associated with dreaming in different dream states, and (4) the role of sleep in the consolidation of memory. Background to the hypothesis.
