Arvo Lake, a retired seventy-one year old man, bought an air conditioner in May. The unit was installed and operated according to the manufacturer's specifications. Unbeknownst to Lake, the unit contained a hole in the refrigeration system that allowed Freon, the coolant, to escape from the unit. By August, the unit had ceased cooling, and Lake's residence reached a temperature of at least 96 degrees Fahrenheit. The heat caused Lake to suffer from hyperthermia, which caused circulatory failure and then death. The executor of Lake's estate sued the manufacturer of the air conditioner for damages resulting from breach of warranty.…

What happens to a person when they get so depressed that they are on the verge of suicide? Well the only answer would be to commit it but what if that person can't find the guts to go through it alone. Well then they ask for assistance. This is called assisted suicide. Assisted suicide or in other words euthanasia is the killing by an act of an independent human being for their own benefit. There are many kinds of definitions that one must argue the fact of, what is euthanasia. Well you would have to keep reading farther on.

We live in an old apartment that has base board heaters and single pane windows. The fall and winter heating bills were getting pretty high. So we decided to find ways to help us conserve on our heating bills and make it warm in our house without an extremely high bill. The first thing we did was ask friends if they have any ideas, and then we searched on the internet for other ways to conserve. We found consumerenergy.org and care2.com that helped us with some ideas. Next we looked on the Puget Sound Energy website to see if they had any energy tips that would help as well. After looking at all the tips we decided to put them in action. We sealed the windows so that there were no drafts and we put insulated curtains on the window too. The front door had a draft so the Consumer Energy website said to put a new seal on the door to control the draft. Then we set our thermostat at sixty eight degrees during the day and sixty three degrees at night. The next month our bill was down by six percent of the month before and the weather said it was colder outside.…
