    1. It has been determined that the product (coffee) that was sold with a defective container that had design defects, that the serving specifications of the coffee was manufactured at excessively high temperatures, moreover the container that it was sold in had no warnings, thus it was defectively marketed, so it is considered unfit for the ordinary purposes for which such goods are used; therefore, it is in violation of an implied warranty of merchantability. In contrast to this case of an implied warranty of merchantability case, Andrews v. Dial Corp., 2015 WL 6550055 (2015), “when a plaintiff brings a product liability suit under an implied warranty of merchantability, they are required to prove proximate causation.” In this case the plaintiff…

    Just checking in to see how your dog duties are coming along. I hope Emma is healing and that Diesel hasn’t eaten anyone yet. Our Foster dog almost died, was diagnosed with either/both leukemia and a stomach blockage of some sort, and then made a full recovery. We had a chance to have him put down, but I decided to give him more time and brought him home from the hospital with a prescription for Prednisone, which was expected to extend his life by maybe another 6 weeks. He’s in his third week now and, other than the shaved legs and belly, seems perfectly normal.…

    Can you imagine being a veterinarian? You help animals who are need and save their lives, just based on symptoms that the owner tells you. Being a vet has always been a dream job of mine since I was a child. Vets not only affect the life of the pet, for better or for worse, but they also affect the lives of those surrounding the pet. Even though being a vet may sometimes be heartbreaking, the rewarding feeling you get when saving a life is worth it in the end, and it pays well too.…

    Lunch Meats Lab Report

    If the turkey is left out for nine hours in a room temperature environment, then there will be 10% more bacteria on it than on the ham and 20% more bacteria than on the bologna. The idea of this experiment is to test which lunch meat will attract more bacteria within a three day incubation period after being left out for nine hours. This project is interesting because bacteria growth on leftovers that have not been refrigerated has always interested me. Many people will leave out food, throw it back in the fridge, and get it back out to eat. People don’t realize that just a few hours can do a lot to your food and then to your body.…

There are two identified forms of learning, associative and cognitive, both are controlled by the brain. Specifically, classical and operant conditioning are two methods of associative learning models that psychologist Ivan Pavlov and B.F. Skinner heuristically contributed to the understanding of human behavior. Ivan Pavlov’s significant contribution was fortuitously discovered, since his initial intent was to study salivation and was analyzing a dog’s response to meat when he observed a learning…
