Tom and Huck witness a murder in their hometown graveyard. They promise to keep it secret and never tell anyone about it again. If they tell, Injun Joe could go after them for revenge and kill them as he did Doc Robinson. Despite the threat from Injun Joe, Tom should report what he seen to the sheriff. He would betray Huck´s trust, but his conscience would ease knowing he did the right thing and he set an innocent man free.

The three factors that are most important to myself in building and sustaining trust within customers and/or colleagues are:

I was immediately intrigued from the beginning of Food, Inc. There was interesting and valuable information brought up during the film. Many people do not think about where their food comes from. I believe that if people were to know where their food comes from, they would not want to eat it. There are 47,000 products at a grocery store. But, Food, Inc. implies that this is in fact an illusion because all of them are made with the same crops. The fact that there are only a few multi-national corporations that control all of the crops and meat production is a huge surprise. I believe that each person in society would be absolutely shocked if they were to watch this documentary.

VERY wordy. Go through line by line and eliminate nonessential wording. Prof people skim scan skip when reading. Also – spell check. I see a green line in the sentence above

In Caparo Industries plc v Dickman7, it was determined that courts had to test the duty by “whether the damage was reasonably foreseeable, whether there was a relationship of proximity between claimant and defendant, and whether it is just and reasonable to impose a duty.”8 If so, then a duty of care could arise.

The need among Americans to be diverted in ever more imaginative ways -- through high-thrill parks, virtual reality arcades, and theme restaurants, plays right into the hands of Dave Corriveau and Buster Corley, co-founders and CEO’s of Dave and Busters. The duo’s 50,000 square foot complexes include pool hall, an eye popping, cutting edge midway arcade, a formal restaurant, a casual diner, a sports bar and a nightclub rolled into one sprawling complex. In business since 1990, this is a high energy, highly efficient operation that’s comparable to a Vegas extravaganza. As a matter of fact there are even “for fun” cashless blackjack tables, with fake $10,000 chips. Pricey, but not outrageous, and you get value

However Tom may have felt arranged to offer himself to the Devil, he was resolved not to do as such to oblige his wife; so he

Therefore, it is of the very importance that businesses in the grocery industry pay close attention to operations management. One company that is doing a great job of operations management is Wegmans Food Markets. Wegmans is a highly positive grocery chain which is headquartered in Syracuse, NY.

A high convenience retailer that fully embodies its’ mission, according to Stephens, to offer low prices through multiple channels, is Target. Target offers low prices on items from paper goods to jeans. Target’s merchandise is available through online, in-store, and pick-up in store an option where the consumer purchases the items online and simply proceeds to the store to pick-up their order. Target is enticing customers to choose this last option, perhaps to better utilize its’ store’s inventory and get more customers in the store, by offering 10% off the customer’s total purchase. Regardless of Target’s motives for driving customers to use the pick-up in store option, the option is providing customers another choice of the most convenient

Wegmans also is a leader in the area of sustainability. As Wegmans continues growing their footprint, they will continue to implement these processes and continue to be a leader in the grocery industry.

The party making false representation has made it either purposely or negligently just to mislead the other party. The aggrieved party, relied on the statement, believing it to be true and acted upon it, this may became a cause of loss to the aggrieved party.

The concept of promissory estoppel can lead to legal rights being limited for a party to an agreement simply because a contract or other agreement seemingly settle a matter before to the extent that it cannot be altered later even if one of the parties insists on it. Once an agreement is in place, especially if it is written down, potential litigants will have a hard time going against that contract to execute a

The doctrine of promissory estoppel considers the circumstances in which one party to the contract shows the other party that made without consideration when the reliance on the promise was reasonable, and the promise relied to one’s detriment (impairment). It

As mentioned above the principle of promissory estoppel was introduced first in the Hughes v Metropolitan Railway. In this case Hughes had rented a property, which he owns, to the Metropolitan Railway Company. The tenants therefore had a six month notice to fix any repairs. However during this notice period negotiations about buying the building from Hughes took place. At the end of the six months not all of the repairs were carried out and the tenants were sued for breach of contract. “…that if parties who have entered into definite and distinct terms involving certain legal results …afterwards by their own act or with their own consent enter upon a course of negotiation which has the
