When a credit card is lost or stolen, it can be used until its owner reports it as missing. This loss of one’s credit card can result in fraud

and therefore, being aware of the legalities that follow is important. This assignment addresses the legal ramifications.
Consider the following scenario:
Furman Smoogie, a sales and marketing representative for the Rubberman Corporation in Centervale, took his client Warren Sacamano to an

expensive lunch at a fancy steakhouse. At the time of paying the bill, Furman noticed that his American Express card was missing from his

wallet. He used his Visa card instead. While driving home, Furman realized that he had last used the missing American Express card about a week

earlier when he dined at a local sushi bar. He was now concerned that a sales clerk may have used the card to make fraudulent purchases.
Using your assigned readings, Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, prepare a paper which addresses the following:
• Review and identify Furman’s legal rights in this situation.
• Explain the probability that Furman will have to pay American Express for any illegal charges to the account.
• Evaluate the steps which he should take in order to protect himself from further loss as a result of losing his card.
Support your statements with examples and at least three scholarly references, including your textbook.
Write a 2–3-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

 

Recognize the components of the Writing Process and basic essay structure through lecture and quizzes.
Using a writing process compose an analysis using the rhetorical technique of comparison/contrast.
Use two poems to demonstrate knowledge of the brainstorming and planning parts of the writing process.
Review the Grammarly screencast.
Create a 2-page compare and contrast essay based on the Week 2 outline that includes a draft checked by Grammarly.

MY PAPA’S WALTZ
The whiskey on your breath
Could make a small boy dizzy;
But I hung on like death:
Such waltzing was not easy.

We romped until the pans
Slid from the kitchen shelf;
My mother’s countenance
Could not unfrown itself.

The hand that held my wrist
Was battered on one knuckle;
At every step you missed
My right ear scraped a buckle.

You beat time on my head
With a palm caked hard by dirt,
Then waltzed me off to bed
Still clinging to your shirt.

Video Script
Characters: Bolo Czopek and his wife, Izabella Czopek
Setting: Bolo is sitting at a table (in an apartment or rental home) with pencil, papers, blueprints, and calculator, intently working. There

are also gardening magazines and dishes sitting on the table. He may be talking to himself as he does his calculating.

Izabella Oh, its so exciting to finally be here in Colorado —a lifelong dream—to be back to nature! But it’s going to take me and my ol’

bike a while to get used to these hills!
Bolo Uh huh.
Izabella So, how’s it going?
Bolo It’s going well. It’s coming along.
We’d like to have the house completed by October, just to give the new landscaping a few months to settling in before winter. But that gives

Silver Fiddle Construction Company only five months to complete the whole thing.
Izabella This is so exciting!—but five months? That’s not very long. Do you think they can do it?
Bolo Well, the president of Silver Fiddle’s coming over in about an hour to discuss a few last-minute details and plans, so we’ll find out

then.
Izabella But, didn’t they mention that they might be able to give us a price break if we could be flexible on the finish date?
Bolo They did, and I guess it would be worth it to cut costs a bit.
Izabella I agree. Then we could use some of the saved money for wallpapering or new furniture. By the way, did Silver Fiddle tell you how

much the house is going to cost?
Bolo Well, it’s a custom home, and with all the special requests we asked for, they’re estimating somewhere between $290,000 and $320,000.
Izabella That sounds like a lot…
Bolo But it’s really not bad for a 2,500-square-foot home with 2-1/2 baths, and 2 bedrooms, and a 3-car finished garage-Boy! Won’t it be

great to put our canoes, and our kayaks and 4-wheelers in there? Who knows, maybe we’ll even have room for the cars!
Izabella I can’t wait to have a new, custom kitchen with a center island and windows that overlook the valley view! Oh, and there are

several appliances— the microwave, the oven, the dishwasher, and the trash compactor.
Bolo Oh, that reminds me, we need to tell Silver Fiddle that the house should come with a high-efficiency gas furnace with programmable

thermostat.
Izabella …and we told them about the landscaping plans at the last meeting…
Bolo That was one of the first things we discussed, even though we’re planning on handling the landscaping ourselves. Here’s the latest

version—complete with wildflower garden, perennial garden, a stone wall, and a fountain! So, what do you think?
Izabella I can already picture it! And I’ve already selected about 40 different kinds of plants, flowers and trees. But, I’m going to

have to pare down the list a little, or we may have to buy another 5 acres!
Bolo Maybe not. First things first. Let’s get the house built.
Izabella I’m so glad that the Martins told us about Silver Fiddle. They’ve been really happy with the work on their house.
Bolo Still, we have to expect a few bumps in the road. You know how the weather and supply availability can affect a building project.
Izabella Well, maybe the president of Silver Fiddle’s can tell us about the associated risks with our project.
Bolo Yes, after our meeting, they’ll be laying out any potential risk and laying out a game plan for us.
Izabella Oh! It’s almost 7 o’clock and they’re gonna be here in an hour so, we better start getting picked up get this place picked up,

and um…
Bolo I’ll start the coffee.

HINT: See Chapters 29 and 30 of the text to help understand some of the legal issues covered in this assignment.

Larry Landlord has recently renovated an apartment and has put it on the market to be rented for $800.00 a month. Larry Landlord has been in

business for approximately five (5) years and has had both positive and negative experiences with tenants. Larry Landlord is hoping to find a good,

long-term tenant for his apartment. Roger Renter saw Larry’s sign for the apartment for rent and thought the location and the apartment would be

perfect. Roger met Larry to look at the apartment and Roger fell in love with it. All of the interior fixtures had been replaced and the unit had a

nice large closet. Roger noticed that although newly painted, the exterior of the apartment did show a little bit of wear. Because of the condition

of the exterior of the building, Roger asked Larry about any roof leaks. Larry stated that he had never had a leak and was not aware of any leaks.

Roger and Larry entered into a valid contract for the rental of the apartment. (Note: The issue of whether or not a contract exists is NOT part of

this question. For purposes of this question assume the contract is valid and there are no issues with the contract.)

Roger Renter was very happy in his new location; the apartment was quiet and the neighbors were friendly. Larry Landlord was also very happy because

Roger Renter was a model tenant. Roger Renter paid on time and was quiet and respectful to other tenants.

The part of the country where Roger rented was rainy in the summertime. Roger rented and moved into the apartment in October. In June, a tremendous

rainstorm occurred and Roger’s roof began to leak. The leak was minor at first and Roger merely put a trash can under the leak and had no other

issues that month. When handing over his monthly rent check, Roger told Larry about the small leak. Larry thanked Roger for letting him know about

the leak and told Roger he would have it fixed.

The next month the rains came again and the leak grew larger in Roger’s apartment. Roger was not home at the time of the rain and therefore the leak

damaged some of Roger’s furniture. Roger called Larry to let him know that there was a leak and asked when it might be fixed. Roger also stated that

he thought Larry had fixed the roof. Larry curtly stated, “When it rains, sometimes it pours. When it pours, sometimes it leaks.” Roger did not like

Larry’s tone or response and called back to ask when the roof might be fixed. Larry stated, “When I get to it.” The following day, Roger sent Larry

a note about the roof leak and asked Larry to please address the issue.

The week before the rent was due, another rainstorm occurred and the leak was even larger. This time the leak damaged Roger’s clothing, furniture,

and some precious items he had inherited from family members. Roger called Larry and asked Larry to fix roof immediately. Larry responded in a

similar and condescending manner. Roger hung up the phone and threw his baseball bat against the wall, damaging the drywall and knocking out an

electrical socket.

Since it was the rainy season, Roger knew it would rain again and therefore simply moved his items away from the leak and did nothing to help

mitigate the damage from the leaking roof.

Larry came into the apartment to investigate the leak and found damage from not only the leak but also from the thrown baseball bat. Roger states

that the baseball bat damage was a direct result of Larry’s inability to fix the leak based on his anger from Larry’s curt response.

International Relations
Are we talking about financial/targeted sanctions because that’s the only doable option OR simply because we are unwilling or unable to take a large scale, coordinated military action to destroy ISIS?

 

In 1-2 pages, please write at least 2 goals with 3 objectives each for your clinical hours with your preceptor. These objectives are due prior to the start of your 45 clinical hours. The idea is to formalize what you are hoping to achieve during your practicum and then to share this with your preceptor at the beginning of your practicum so we are all on the same page. This allows you to personalize your clinical objectives so you get the most that you can out of the experience. Clinical rotation will be completed at The Developmental Disabilities Ministries. This is an organization to empower individuals with disabilities to achieve their highest level of social, physical, and emotional maturity.

1. Why do wild salmon populations face the threat of extinction while goldfish populations are in no such danger?
2. List the three most important expenditure programs of the federal government. How do they differ from the three most important expenditure programs of state and local governments? Explain why it makes more sense for the federal government to purchase “national defense” rather than state governments.
3. Answer these three:
a. What are opportunity costs? How do explicit and implicit costs relate to opportunity costs?
b. A key difference between accountants and economists is their different treatment of the cost of capital. Does this cause an accountant’s estimate of total costs to be higher or lower than an economist’s estimate? Explain.
c. Bob Edwards owns a bagel shop. Bob hires an economist who assesses the shape of the bagel shop’s average total cost (ATC) curve as a function of the number of bagels produced. The results indicate a U-shaped average total cost curve. Bob’s economist explains that ATC is U-shaped for two reasons. The first is the existence of diminishing marginal product, which causes it to rise. What would be the second reason? Assume that the marginal cost curve is linear. (Hint: The second reason relates to average fixed cost. Just explain and no drawings please)
4. In markets where the government imposes an excise tax on unit sales, it also has a tendency to dabble with restrictions on advertising (for example, cigarettes and hard liquor). Do potential (or actual) restrictions on advertising in these markets serve the interest of a government that is interested in maximizing its tax revenue from the sale of these products? Explain your answer
