VARSITY BRANDS AND STAR ATHLETICA COURT CASE Varsity Brands litigated Star Athletica in the supreme Court of appeal for violating copyright Act. Varsity Brands designs plus fabricates clothing plus accessories expressly to be used in many athletic undertakings, comprising cheerleading. Varsity Brands acknowledged patent registration for the dual dimensional sculpture at the subject in this incident, which were analogous to the ones publicized by the Star Athletica (Shipley, 2018). The subordinate law courts distressed as to if the design of the sculpture might be alienated as of the serviceable purpose of the uniform deliberately to be appropriate for the patent. The United States Supreme Law court apprehended that the design which had been used by the Varsity Brands can be acknowledged discretely, hence inferring that these designs can occur autonomously of the cheerleading uniform, and therefore being suitable for the patent. Mutually the parties funneled cues for the instant verdict. Star claimed that Varsity was deficient in lawful copyrights merely because the designs of the artwork stood for “useful articles,” which could not be patented. Accordingly, this denotes that the…

Hydration process Concrete is a mixture prepared by mixing cement, aggregates, and water that forms a workable paste. The paste is molded and consolidated as desired before being left to harden. The concrete acquires its strength through a series of chemical reactions between water and the cement compounds. The process by which the cement compounds react to form chemical bonds with the molecules of water is referred to as hydration. The hydration process is critically important in concrete manufacture. Ordinary Portland Cement constitutes five major components; tricalcium silicate, dicalcium silicate, tricalcium aluminate, tetracalcium aluminoferrite, and gypsum. An addition of water to the cement initiates a hydration reaction with each of this compounds. The hydration of calcium silicates contributes more to the overall concrete strength in comparison to the other compounds. Upon addition of water, there occurs a rapid reaction with the tricalcium silicate, resulting in the formation of calcium silicate hydrate crystals and calcium hydroxide. As the process continues, these crystals grow thicker and prevent water from reaching the tricalcium silicate. Due to this, the process is slowed…
The Issue of Staff Shortage and Layoffs Introduction Staff shortage is a growing concern in the health care organization. A recent demonstrate that the United State will be required to recruit about 2.3 million new health care practitioners by 2025 to address the shortage of staff due to aging and rising patient load. Most organization are not in a position to manage supply of professional due to increasing patient load. Moreover, most organization are forced to lay off workers to survive. Layoffs is due to reduction in revenue that is caused by combination of sequester cuts, expansion of Medicaid and reduction in patient volume. The main objective of the paper is to explore the issues of staff shortage and layoff in health-care organizations, its impact and measures to address the issues. Challenges Faced by Health-care Organization Staff Shortage The health-care industry is facing shortage of skilled and qualified staffs. The shortage is seen in professions such as nurses, physicians and technicians. The rate of graduation of students in these fields cannot address the issue. The industry is growing but the…
The Chemistry of Anxiety Chen (2013) defines anxiety to be a state of negative mood that is characterized by fear about the future and symptoms of physical tension. Imbalanced brain chemicals can contribute to mood and anxiety disorders. According to the chemical imbalance theory for panic disorder, chemical messengers known as neurotransmitters are responsible for sending messages throughout the brain, which can lead to anxiety if one or more is not balanced (Colckovic & Nazir, 2019). These neurotransmitters include; Serotonin- controls sleep, appetite, and mood. Norepinephrine- controls movement, energy, and attention. Dopamine- controls flight responses and how a person responds to stress. GABBA- balancing relaxation, excitement, and agitation. How Anxiety Involves Chemistry Chen (2013) suggests that among students, chemistry has a reputation for being a boring, complicated, and highly theoretical science. As a result, many students resort to memorization instead of seeking to understand concepts. This negative attitude causes chemical anxiety in them (fear of chemicals or chemistry as a subject/ course). Students perceive the subject to be too abstract, challenging, and only for the bright students resulting in pre- university-level…
Hair Color Shades for Pale Skin Having a pale skin is not always a win-win situation; it can often be a difficult task to organise the other aspects of your personality according to your skin tone. When it comes to choosing a hair colour that complements your skin the best, there are several factors that you need to consider. The first thing that you need to figure out before getting your hair coloured is the tone of your skin. The tone of your skin varies according to your makeup. If your skin is cool-tone, then you have got pink and olive undertones. Similarly, if you have warm-toned skin, then you have yellow and golden undertones. Your eyes can help you determine your skin tone. If your eyes are blue or green, you might have a cool skin tone. If your eyes are golden, then you have warm-toned skin. Blonde Faded colours are some of the best options to go with for your pale skin. When it comes to colour composition, the best thing you can do…
Technology & Trend Monitoring Introduction. Technology is defined as a body of knowledge applied in different areas such as making of objects, processing of different products, and the extraction. Technology is a broad term as it has been defined differently by different people. Nowadays, technology is widely used in accomplishing various operations in daily activities. Technology is essential as it is used to simplify work, for efficiency, improve the quality and quantity, and reduce the costs involved in performing the activities. The technology uses scientific skill to solve the problems involved. Although both technology and science work together in solving different issues, they are two different subjects. Over years, technology has been improving rapidly on the operations in the daily activities. In the ancient days the production process to a very long time to be accomplished, production cost was too high, the products were of poor quality, consumed too much time, insufficient quantity and generally inefficiency in the whole production process. The introduction of the technology then started shedding some light to the improved way of performing daily activities in…

thumb sucking nail-biting and atopic sensitization as well as asthma and hay fever The subject of the study is on thumb sucking nail-biting and atopic sensitization as well as asthma and hay fever. The observation which spurred the study was whether early life exposures to any microbial organisms led to the reduction of risks of one developing any allergies. The reason why these scientists decided to carry out the test was to confirm the hypothesis that early life exposures have any effect on the risk of developing allergies. The background of the study is that common childhood habits like thumb sucking and nail-biting in childhood are said to have an impact on people’s health. The research aims at providing an evidence to the claim or rejects the hypothesis. The study hypothesises that early life exposures to microbiology organisms decrease the risk of developing allergies (Lynch et al., 2016). Hence, the study tested the hypothesis of children that suck their thumbs and bite their nails have lower risks of development of atopy, asthma as well as hay fever in the population-based…
home medicine cabinet In every home medicine cabinet, it is advisable to have a minimal set of essential oils. The oils listed below are relatively inexpensive. They act versatile and with a minimum of side effects. However, it would help if you remembered about the individual intolerance of certain substances. This is especially important when it comes to allergy sufferers, the elderly, pregnant women, and small children. Sometimes healing aromas are successfully used in the provision of first (first aid) care. And yet I emphasize once again that essential oil does not replace, but complements traditional medical prescriptions. Therefore, it is used after consulting a physician. And in some cases, the advice of a specialist aromatherapist is also necessary. Arthritis annoys millions of people every day. Despite the tiny number of reports of successful cure, the symptoms of arthritis can be stopped and controlled. Using essential oils is one of the best and safest ways to reduce arthritic pain. These pains are divided into two types – acute and chronic. Both types of pain harm almost all organ systems…
