Abstract
This paper looks at legal proceedings which have been taken against personal trainers following physical injuries to their clients. By using case studies, the writer examines the risks and exposure that personal trainers face when helping others perform exercise workouts.
From the Paper
"In 1996, the case of Feeney vs. Manhattan Sports Club, Inc. was brought before the Supreme Court of New York. The plaintiff had joined the sports facility and signed an agreement, which clearly stated that the facility and its employees were not qualified to "diagnose, examine or treat any medical condition, or make any other such evaluation or recommendation." The agreement also warned that new members should see a doctor before using the facility.
The plaintiff had a history of shoulder problem and had dislocated his shoulder several times. When he began using the facility, he was assigned a personal trainer, who was an employee of the club. When he asked the trainer if he could use free weights without hurting his shoulder, the trainer allegedly told him that he would have ?no problem.? The plaintiff later suffered an injury while lifting weights at the club."

Abstract
It is not until very recently during this century that women have looked to the legal system for support and assistance in their struggle for equality. The legislative background, including the Civil Rights Act, has provided a foundation for women to look to the courts for redress of their grievances. However, there remain problems within the legal system, including problems in civil rights law, arbitration, and mediation.
This paper provides a descriptive study of the state of gender issues in the American legal system, with a specific look at the increased use of mediation and arbitration to settle such problems as domestic violence and child custody. This type of settlement has increased and many feminists contend that mediation and arbitration automatically place women at a power disadvantage.
From the Paper
"One of the problems is that mandated mediation is beginning to be an important element in family law, specifically with domestic violence and custody disputes (Thoennes, Salem and Pearson, 1995). In these instances, feminist scholars contend that mandated mediation puts women in a one-down position. They are considered to be vulnerable in the mediation process and likely to lose power and position within it. Although the courts have not always empowered women who have suffered domestic violence either, the mediation situation is viewed as even more likely to lead to unjust results (Hart, 1990)."

Legal Naturalism vs. Legal Positivism, 2002.
A comparison of laws understood to come about naturally or through some form of positive creation.

Abstract
This paper examines two of the general theories of law - legal naturalism and legal positivism, both of which have had an enormous influence on law throughout history. The first part of the paper looks at natural law which describes those diverse theories of law that do not accept human law as true law and hold that a particular "something other than the positive law is the true law". The second section examines legal positivism where one of several general theoretical traditions is based on the belief that the source of knowledge lies in experience, not in reason, nor in mind.
From the Paper
"A good example of the usefulness of classical legal naturalism can be seen in the rise of commercial law in the Middle Ages in Europe. As Glendon, Gordon, and Carozza point out, the rise of commercial law took place when Roman civil law provided no adequate coverage of new problems that arose as trade "emerged from the localism and relative economic stagnation of the Middle Ages" in the form of international banking, expanded maritime trade, and rising commercial centers."

Abstract
This paper provides an in-depth analysis of artificial reproduction technology. The author discusses surrogacy, in vitro fertilization, egg donation, frozen embryos, and fertility drugs. The paper looks at the medical ramifications of hi-tech reproduction, the ethical questions, legal concerns, and psychological reasons why people turn to assisted reproduction. The author also discusses religion and artificial reproduction.
From the Paper
"Where do babies come from? This question used to have a pretty straightforward answer. In recent times, ?baby making? can sound a lot more like science fiction than the birds and the bees. For the first time in history, because of in vitro fertilization technology and research, the traditional elements of parenthood: the genetic, the gestational, and the nurturing, can be separated, Cooper and Glazer 2. Ovum donation gives infertile couples the opportunity for gestation and parenting a child who is genetically connected to only half of the couple. This may sound like a dream comes true for many unfertile couples, however; the procedure is very complicated and carries with it many unanswered ethnical questions. Egg trafficking via the internet, health risks for both the donors and recipients, multiple pregnancy and selective reduction, fetal egg donation, and psychological harm to the children are just a few examples of the problems experts in the fields of ethics, theology, law, medicine, genetics, and public policy face. Artificial Reproductive Technology, ART, has many complicated drawbacks that overshadow the benefits."

Abstract
This paper addresses recent concerns about Internet privacy, concentrating on legal and ethical concerns. In particular, a bill is being introduced in the Senate this spring which aims to codify in U.S. law the rights and responsibilities of information suppliers. In the past, the United States has taken a "hands-off" approach to regulating information, in the hopes that the industry will engage in self-regulation. Self-regulation is not advancing rapidly enough to satisfy either the Federal Trade Commission or the recent European Community Directive. The paper presents and supports the opinion that it is imperative that the United States pass legislation which will address Internet privacy issues and forestall any restrictions U.S. companies may have in dealing with Europe.

Personal Training, 2005.
This paper discusses the concepts and occupation of personal training, the act of motivating and teaching a client how to exercise in order for the client to reach his or her fitness goals.

Abstract
This paper explains that fitness goals might include reducing body fat, gaining muscle and strengthening the heart. To reach these targets, a personal trainer creates a workout incorporating resistance training, cardio-vascular exercises or both. The author stresses that, before performing any type of workout, the individual must find his or her target heart rate, the heart beats per minutes, which must be sustained to achieve optimal gains in fat loss and cardio-improvement. The paper describes the three stages to cardiovascular exercise: Warm up, which is a slow jog or jumping rope for at least five minutes at a low intensity of about fifty to sixty percent of the maximum heart rate; stretch to prevent injuries and to improve muscular performance and cool down, which is similar to the warm up and should last at least five minutes.
From the Paper
"Knowledge of proper movement and exercise in strength training must be in the personal trainers and athlete's arsenal of information. Athletes should perform a full range of motion with each lift and exercise. Jerking, bouncing, or swinging are often symptoms of lifters lifting too much weight. Each exercise should be done slowly and controlled. Full range motion helps build muscle strength and joint flexibility. Lifters should always try to increase resistance to achieve more gains. Also, after each set, lifters should increase the weight and lower the amount of repetitions. This concept is to increase the resistance and decrease the reps. Appropriate movement during lifts maximizes benefits and decrease risk of injury."

It also looks at how athletic trainers are an essential and integral part of modern sports medicine, and as sports and athletics increase in importance in our society, they will continue to play an important part in our healthy lives.
From the Paper
"The education necessary for this job is usually completed as an undergraduate, and is offered by several colleges and universities across the nation. The most respected and accepted educational facilities are accredited according to standards created by the Commission on Accreditation for Allied Health Education (CAAHEP), a division of the American Medical Association (Hibberts). Many students major in exercise science with a specialty in athletic training. In most cases, they also need to obtain a state license or National Athletic Trainers Association (NATA) certification in order to work as an athletic trainer and "to become certified, trainers must complete 1500 hours of athletic training, and pass the National Athletic Trainers Association (NATA) certification exam" (AHEC)."

E-Business Website Concerns, 2006.
This paper explores the issues involved in e-commerce websites.
1,125 words (approx. 4.5 pages), 2 sources, AU$ 64.95

Abstract
This paper discusses the legal, ethical and regulatory issues related to operating a business to business (B2B) e-commerce website and of operating a business to consumer (B2C) e-commerce website through the Internet and the World Wide Web. The consensus is that while many of the infrastructural solutions for these two orientations of e-commerce are the same, some very important differences, such as the regulatory requirements across industries, can be dramatically different considering customer data concerns and privacy issues.
From the Paper
"Electronic commerce (e-commerce) might be considered as a type of business transaction where the parties to the transaction conduct their commerce electronically where electronically has come to be considered the Internet (Yarbrough, 2001, para.22). Yet, technically speaking e-commerce could just as well be considered to be transacted by phone, fax, or other electronic form of media. Such definitions evade the true essence of electronic commerce, which in practice has become one of those rare cases where changing needs and new technologies have come together to revolutionize the way in which business is conducted over an entirely new medium; commonly termed the Internet. Turban (2006) defines e-commerce as being: "the process of buying, selling, transferring, or exchanging products, services, and/or information via computer networks, including the Internet" (p.5)."

From the Paper
"Selenium is a chemical element in the oxygen family (Group VIa) of the periodic table; the element is closely allied in chemical and physical properties with the elements sulfur and tellurium (Selenium, 2004). Selenium was first recognized as an element in 1818 by Jacob Berzelius, a Swedish chemist. The element is a metalloid (this is an element that exhibits properties that are intermediate between the metals and the nonmetals); it is widely distributed throughout the world; however, such distribution only occurs in small quantities (Selenium, 2004). Prolonged exposure to certain metals such as cadmium, copper, lead, nickel, selenium compounds and zinc can cause deleterious health effects in humans (Reilly 1991). At low levels, selenium is considered a nutrient; however, it is being increasingly shown that at higher levels, the element and many of its compounds are toxic in humans (Dunning, 1993). Furthermore, Harris (1991) believes that numerous undiagnosed situations exist where people are suffering from selenium poisoning and physicians simply do not recognize it."

Abstract
This paper discusses the concerns that new teachers experience in the classroom. The paper further examine the beliefs of Anita Woolfolk in relation to this issue, and the elements of educational psychology that may serve to ease the stressors that are apparent in the lives of first year teachers. The paper then examines Woolfolk's suggestions for these individuals, as well as draws conclusions based upon the research.
From the Paper
"As novice teachers enter the profession there is a significant amount of apprehension regarding the experience, and what will occur within the first few years of teaching. Planning, students, the administration, and performance are all relatively high concerns that engross the teacher's thoughts as he or she prepares for the onset of school. Yet, Woolfolk suggests that these ideas are only the beginning notions of new teachers today (Shaughnessy, 2004, p. 1). More than any other concern the issue of being an effective teacher appears to be the most significant factor for new teachers. Questions of whether or not teaching styles will engross student learning, or if the teacher has the capability to utilize the lessons learned in the classroom become a primary issue for new teachers as the first year of school approaches."

From the Paper
"The use of open net-cages for fish farming was first established in the 1960's in Norway and has lead to expansion in foreign markets including Scotland, United States, Chile, and Canada (Open-Net-cage para. 2005). Fish farms are popping up all over the world and are dominated primarily by multinational corporations. Net-cage fish farming has become a contentious issue and has raised a number of social and environmental concerns including how man-manipulated species of fish are affecting peoples' health, attributing to pollution and increased cross-pollination with wild fish species."

From the Paper
"One of the largest concerns of modern society is the amount of control that is ethically possible within a social system that prides itself on democratic ideals of individuality. The rights and privileges of the individual are meant to be balanced with the judicial system's attempts at providing parameters of safety within the community. The political ramifications of euthanasia and physician assisted suicide (PAS) are very controversial, both within the medical community and the general public. The issue encompasses the patient's rights, the debate over pain and suffering and the religious prohibitions that bind many people."

Abstract
This paper maintains that small businesses need to have a strategy. The paper demonstrates how a firm with proactive policies, managed by an entrepreneurial or quasi entrepreneurial owner-manager or manager will be more likely to succeed. The paper describes how managing small entrepreneurial concerns is a risky business; according to government statistics, about 400,000 small businesses fail each year. The paper illustrates how a firm with no strategic plan, managed by a 'caretaker' and 'reactive' manager will face a higher chance of failure.

Conclusions
From the Paper
"The strategy planning of a business may be viewed from various perspectives. The strength of a business in a particular area gives it substantial advantage over other business. However, many of the advantages may be short lived as the competitors can also try to acquire these advantages. A proper well thought out strategy may not make a business famous for its well known technology or brands of products but it can certainly give the business the required profitability to operate as a viable business."
