Under most circumstances the grocery store would not be liable if someone is a victim of a crime near the story but not actually on the store’s property or premises. The reason for this outcome is twofold. Unless the harm is the result of a grocery store employee, for example, if an employee was told by a manager to “mug” the customer when they left, then the harm cannot be considered an intentional tort related to the store. An intentional tort is one in which the defendant (the grocery store) commits an act whose results it intends accomplish. ...

One’s class is determined by many things. Income has an impact on an individual’s class, but economic assets also play a role. The neighborhood wherein one lives is also a part of class. For example, if the neighborhood has a high crime rate, is near a highly polluted area, is adjacent to a low-funded school, thus turning out poorly educated individuals, or offers low-employment, one’s class is likely to be considered low. In contrast, if an individual lives in a gated community adjacent to good schools, with grocery stores that offer expensive, organically grown food, and ...

Synopsis

Colomina argues that architecture is not just an envelopment of space; an enclosure of space where people get solace from the elements of nature and other forms of physical threat. Colomina further argues that the impression of the interior of an architectural space is not just what is left by the users of the space; the imprint of their daily activities. Instead, he argues that the interior of an architectural contains hidden mechanisms that may not be overt to the untrained eye. These hidden mechanisms help describe the construction of the interior space of the building (Colomina 233). Based ...

The sine is the ratio of the opposite leg of the right triangle to its hypotenuse. Let’s imagine that we have the Cartesian coordinate system and a circumference with the same center and radius R. Every angle can be depicted as a rotation operation from the positive x-axis to some interval that joins together the center of the Cartesian coordinate system and some point of the circumference. The length of this interval is equal to the radius and can be depicted as the hypotenuse of the right triangle. The adjacent leg of the triangle belongs to the x-axis, ...

Summary The Autonomous Net-Zero Water Project is a water treatment project that aims to provide a sustainable water supply system. It works by gathering all waste water from a particular facility, then subjecting the water to a series of water treatment processes. After which, the water is directed back to the facility for consumption. This perpetual process of water recycling provides continuous water supply; making it possible for its users to refrain or extremely minimize tapping water from outside sources. Water recycling is not a new thing. However, the greatest challenge in making the water-recycling system sustainable ...

It is customary for the non-native speakers to substitute the correct pronunciation of the words with their versions of vowels and consonants. There are patterns of pronunciation of words in every language and it is believed that the non-native speakers utilize their habitual pronunciation of the new language. These patterns in language may persist at different levels. Some of the non-native speakers tend to learn new language faster, the others retain the traces of native language in their patterns of pronunciation through the years. This may root in different factors, such as the duration of practice in new language, ...

The article highlights the origin and development of the Albers’ color theory by noting that Albers ideas profoundly influenced Luis Barragan’s work with color. The article notes that although the utilization of highly changed color is contextual, evaluation of the color bands produced by individuals working independently, the crafts and traditional buildings highlight an absence of the cohesive patterns of Barragan. Furthermore, besides the environmental influences, the interest that Barragan gained from his friends shaped his work. In particular, Barragan’s designs seem not to be spontaneously generated by based on intelligent and scholarship authority (O'Leary 115). It ...

Patricia O’Leary’s article “Barragan Homage to Albers” refers to Luis Barragan’s architectural style, enriched over the years through influences from painters from the architect’s close proximity. O’Leary mentions Jesus Reyes or Raul Ferrera as two Mexican painters that are known for inspiring Barragan’s use of color in architecture. However, the article mostly focuses on the impact that the painting of the German painter, Josef Albers, had on Barragan’s use of color in architecture. The writing focuses on Barragan’s shifts from the modest and discrete use of color prior to his friendship ...

The Canadian real estate industry has experienced a better share of the effects of last year’s economic depression since the last quarter of last year. Players in the industry experienced doubled interest rates charged on mortgages which was attributed to the decrease in the value of the Canadian dollar. With the real exchange rate favoring foreign goods which were cheap as compared to local goods, several investors preferred the international market and hence the circulation of money in the economy reduced. This further pushed up the interest rates for borrowing money since investors withdrew money from local banks ...

Cancer affects the body’s most basic unit, the cell. Normally, cells grow and divide to form new cells. When cells grow old, they die to make room for new ones and new cells grow only when the body needs them. However sometimes the old cells do not die or new cells are produced when not needed by the body they form tumors. Tumors can be either benign or malignant (National Cancer Institute, 2011). and organs.

Introduction

In 1852, Francis Guthrie was discussing with his brother Frederick the coloring of a map. He discovered the fact that he could color the map of England counties with the use of only four colors. He used the colors in such a way that each division had a single color and two segments sharing a common boundary had different colors. Thus, the four color problem was born and the question arose whether in a plane map, four colors were sufficient to denote the divisions of adjacent regions sharing the same boundary, without using the same colors.

The Vietnam War will always be remembered throughout much of the history of the United States (US) as a mighty assertion by the nation of its status as a reckonable political and moral influence in the international community. Democracy has since been the driving force of the US in its pursuance of goals in the Asia-Pacific region – an area the nation sought to contain against communism by the former Soviet Union (USSR). Indochina, geopolitically adjacent to communist-led China through its location in mainland Asia, stands as perhaps the area in the Asia-Pacific region that is most affected by communism.

Purpose of Classification Systems

Classification systems are used throughout the US prison system. In common with similar approaches in other states, California’s Department of Corrections (CDC) uses such a system in the interest of increasing the efficiency of utilization of available incarceration facilities. For example, by assigning offenders to the most appropriate type of prison accommodation, the highest security accommodation (which is also more costly to operate) is reserved for the prisoners for whom that higher level of security is considered necessary. Issues such as the likelihood of misconduct in prison and the escape risk have to be taken into account, too (Berk & ...

Sea side piers are common architectural structures in Britain. In fact, Britain boasts sixty one piers along its coastline. Most of these piers have long standing histories as many were constructed in the nineteenth century. Most of them have at one point been brought to near ruin by forces of nature such as storms in the sea. Given the significance they hold and the relatively expensive cost of reconstruction, local authorities under whose jurisdiction these piers fall will always have difficulties determining whether or not to invest the limited resources in their reconstruction. Two of the most iconic piers ...

Strategies options that Firms may adopt within Global Product Positioning

The three strategies alternatives include advancing the core business, advancing adjacent opportunities, and advancing through sub-segmenting customers (Alain, 2011). Identification of profitable advancement opportunities always start from the core business (Andrew & Kannan, 2006), that is, services, customers, products, geographic areas, and channels, which produce the largest percentage of profits and revenue. Benchmarking with senior leaders is the preferred beginning point. The second strategy is customer-focused development strategy dependent on the company’s existing customers (Alain, 2011). It involves developing high impact value plans or prepositions for novel customer sub-segments. The third strategy is customer-focused strategy. It involves entering businesses, ...

Question1. As government expenditure increases, the income increases. This increase in income leads to a rise in consumption expenditure. A 1 unit rise in income leads to a rise in consumption by the marginal propensity to consume. As consumption expenditure increases, this induces further increase in output in the economy. So income increases. The increase in government expenditure creates a multiplier effect. This multiplier depends on the marginal propensity to consume (MPC). Higher the MPC higher is the multiplier effect.

Introduction Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems incorporate pervasively in prokaryotic genomes that have also been suggested to perform a role in numerous critical cellular operations (Van, & Bast, 2009). These systems characteristically comprise of a two-gene operon encoding a toxic protein molecule which aims at an important cellular purpose and an antitoxin that connects to and hinders the toxin. Control of toxin action is attained via differential constancy of the stable toxin as well as the unstable antitoxin (Kamada & Hanaoka, 2005). In several occasions, the antitoxin also operates as a transcriptional autorepressor of the operon, whereby the degradation of the antitoxin leads to transcriptional introduction ...
