    Many professional athletes will continue to receive a regular salary during a serious injury that was sustained during their athletic duties, but for Cirque du Soleil performers this is not the case. When a member of Cirque du Soleil gets injured on the job they are treated like normal workers and only receive workers compensation benefits that can be thousands less a year than their normal salaries as a performer. This is a problem for the performers that lay their bodies on the line to promote Cirque du Soleil's $850 million per year business.…

    Legal Case Study: Allana Johnson

    At approximately 8:00 a.m. on April 25, 2015, Allana Johnson was traveling east on Sunshine St. intending to take US 65 south to Branson for work. As she got close to Lone Pine Rd, she glanced to the right at the intersection to be sure no one was going to make a right turn in front of her. It was all clear so she entered the intersection when a vehicle came out of nowhere directly in front of her. As a result, Allana had no time to react, and she violently slammed into the passenger side of the vehicle on the passenger side in a T-bone effect.…

    Simon And Sawyer Inc. V. New York State Case Study

    Is it constitutional to take away money from a person although it was gained for an interview with a publisher about one’s past crimes? Is it constitutional to take the money and give it to the victim of these past crimes? Does this or does not contradict the First Amendment which allows to express one’s mind freely with no discrimination concerning the context? The dispute over the Son of Sam law can be lead down to one question: whether speaking about crime is also a crime. Obviously, there could be two answers, one negative, and another one positive. According to the Son of Sam law, there is only one interpretation: if a…

    Night Face In The 1970s

    The 1970s were the age of disco, and the age of disco was anything but mundane. “With disco music and dance clubs came a whole new type of makeup. It was shimmery, glittery and anything but natural. Smokey eyes and a dark red lip were de rigueur at places like Studio 54, as were jewel toned eye shadows and shimmery cheek colors”(1970s Beauty - A Pretty Addiction). Studio 54 is a former nightclub that was located in Manhattan, and it was a hotspot for partying all night. In the 70s women had two makeup looks; their day face and night face. A woman’s day face was very neutral, but her night face was full of chunky eyeshadow and colored mascara. At night she looked as if she was going to a party, but most nights she was! A woman's day face was supposed to be neutral to not draw attention to herself because she was only supposed to work in the house. A daily look would consist of a slight brow bone highlight to accentuate natural features, white eyeliner to make eyes look brighter, and a slight bit of black mascara concentrated on only her upper eyelashes. However, her nighttime look was when she dressed up and was ready to hit the town, so her makeup was just as exciting as she was. A woman's nighttime look consisted of pastel pink or peach lips with frost or shimmer, raspberry, lavender, or turquoise mascara, and a smokey eye for eyeshadow. During the 1970s, women traveled back to the 20s and tweezed their eyebrows very thin and penciled them in so that they were very dark. Over the entire decade, women were focused on having very luminous and glowy skin. At this time in history, being rail thin was more popular than ever. The 1970s was the decade when eating disorders skyrocketed, and an increasing number of men and women were diagnosed with disorders such as bulimia and anorexia. Women strived to appear as paper thin as possible because, during the era of disco, thin was beautiful. Over the course of the 1970s, a woman was considered beautiful if she was as thin…

    Faverty V Mcdonald’s Restaurants of Oregon, Inc. and Gacioch V Stroh Brewery Co.

    Facts: Matt Theurer was an 18 year old adult that worked at McDonald’s part time. His friends and family worried about him because he had many extra-curricular activities, worked for the National Guard, and worked for McDonalds. McDonald’s informal policy did not allow high school students to work more than one midnight shift per week or split shifts. There was a special clean-up week McDonald’s held, Theurer worked five nights. One night he worked until midnight, another until 11:30pm, two nights until 9pm, and another until 11pm. On Monday, April 4th, 1988, Theurer worked from 3:30 until 7:30pm, followed by the clean up shift beginning at midnight until 5am on April 5th, and then he worked another shift from 5am until 8:21am. During that shift, Theurer told his manager he was tired and asked to leave from his next regular shift. The manager accepted his request, and Theurer began to drive home. He was driving 45 miles per hour on a two lane road when he either fell asleep or became drowsy. Theurer crossed the dividing lane into on-coming traffic, and crashed into Frederic Faverty’s minivan. Theurer was killed and Faverty was seriously injured. Faverty settled his claims with Theurer’s estate, and then he filed suit against McDonald’s.…
