In this article Megan Molteni goes into detail about the company 23ANDME and its new business plan to both increase the company’s profit while helping combat genetic disease such as Parkinson. Recently 23andMe was able to obtain an astonishing $1.75 billion valuation. Which is a very big accomplishment for a tech company. This company was able to make in its fortune by selling spit kits priced at $99 that allow the consumer to see their genetic makeup and ancestry.

Penny Ann Beernsten, a thirty-six year old small business co-owner and physical fitness instructor, went through a traumatic experience on the afternoon of July 29, 1985. She jogged at a stretch of Lake Michigan shoreline in Wisconsin. She was planning on meeting with her father at the beach at 4:00 PM and she started the jog at 3:50 PM, but was grabbed and taken to the woods where she was raped and deprived her of oxygen by suffocation until she passed out. When she woke up, she walked out of the woods, where couples comforted her until she found her husband and finally the police. (Possley).
There are some many political, economic, social issues that social workers and even families faces. In the Sanchez case, immigration laws plays a huge part in their family. There are members of the Sanchez family that are undocumented and could face deportation if caught. The family needs immigration resources that will assist them with the adoption of the grandson and with Roberto in their home. Emilia, which is the daughter of Hector and Celia, was born in the United States. However, she could be denied citizenship because of her drug problem. This will show “poor moral character” which is under the immigration law (New Directions in Social Work, n.d.). Also, the Sanchez family faces financial problems. Due to undocumented status of some of members, the Sanchez family cannot take advantage of the resources that may help them with their financial problems. Roberto, which is the undocumented nephew of Celia, was injured on the job and because of his status is unable to receive any financial assistance like worker’s compensation. This cause financial issues for the household. Social issues has also plaque this family. Emilia has had an abortion which is against the belief of the family. They are devout Catholics and do not believe in abortions. Vicki, which is the daughter of Celia and Hector, has been diagnosed autism. The family has not seek out resources for the daughter. I believe the family may be ashamed of her and is not
Andrew Sanchez was a college pitcher for California State University at Northridge (CSUN). During one of his competitions he was struck by a line drive of an aluminum bat.

According to CCP §437c, if there is a single issue of material fact, a motion (for summary judgment) must be denied. Tommy did provide sufficient material facts to allow a jury to find in his favor. Specifically by relaying the facts that Peter Plaintiff’s collision with Jack was too remote for liability to be put on Tommy and that Tommy did not knowingly furnish alcohol to Jack, demonstrating that there was not a prima facie violation of Cal. Civil Code §1714.3 Therefore, the court erred in granting Peter Plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment and this court must reverse that wrong.
Mindy Alternot is an administrator at Seaside Convalescent Care Center (SCCC). She has begun to have major issues at this facility and the longevity of this company is at a crossroad.

The underlying issues in both cases are racial discrimination. For Cheryl Boulden in the affirmative action case the issue is being “an African American woman among the good ol’ boys in Indiana.” She was recruited because of race and her permanent handicap was seen as an asset for a diversity program lacking any. Yet these qualities made her a target of racism. Susan Finn’s ethnic discrimination presents a dilemma of how to deal with a contract physician’s abusive behavior “toward Hispanics and female staff as well as patients” (Reeves, 2006, p. 79). While the issues of racial and gender discrimination is not unusual, the failure of these agencies to address multiple complaints is.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARYSilicon Valley Medical Technologies (SIVMED) was founded as a research and development firm. In the beginning, SIVMED performed its own basic research, obtained patents on promising technologies, and then either sold or licensed the technologies to other firms which marketed the products.
