In the relationship between an agent and a principal, both parties consent to the agent having the ability to act on behalf of the principal. This is known as a form of principal-agent relationship called power of attorney. Such a relationship plays an important role in business, whether it be in the workplace, a partnership, or a corporation.There are three types of authority in a principal-agent relationship: express, implied, and apparent authority. Express authority is what the principal directly tells the agent his duties and responsibilities are. This cannot cover every detail though, so the authority extends to what is necessary for the agent to carry out the principal?s instructions. Such authority is known as implied authority. There is also apparent authority in which the principal leads another to believe that a certain person is his agent. This is also known as agency by estoppel.The relationship is said to be fiduciary, meaning that there is a degree of trust and obedience on the agent?s part. The agent owes various duties to his principal. One of these is the duty of loyalty; the agent must act for the principal?s benefit and not his own. He cannot be on both sides of a transaction unless both parties are aware of it and agree to it. The agent also cannot disclose trade secrets about the principal?s business after the term of employment is up. He must obey all of the principal?s orders, provided they are reasonable. If any of the instructions go against the law, he will be held responsible for performing illegal actions. He is also required to carry out the actions of his principal as if he were doing it for himself.Within the workplace, this relationship plays a very important role. The association between employer and employee can be described as being principal-agent. This is also a master-servant relationship since the principal has a good amount of control over the agent. The employer controls the activities of the employee and is responsible for any injuries that might be caused by the employee?s activities, provided the employee is acting within the scope of employment. The principal-agent relationship can also be seen with independent contractors. These people are hired to perform a certain task; however, the person who hires them is not the one who controls them. The principal does not have as much control over the independent contractor as he would in a master-servant relationship.The agent-principal relationship is very important in a business partnership as well. A partnership is created when two parties consent to be ?co-owners of a business for profit." The business becomes an extension of the partners? personal liability, and the profits or losses are passed through to the partners? tax return. The partners are said to be agents of each other; therefore, they owe the duties mentioned above to each other. In addition to this, the partners must both work to manage the partnership. They can appoint these duties to specific partners, in accordance with the agency rules of express, implied, and apparent authority. Other times they may vote on certain matters and let the majority rule. Larger decisions in which no apparent authority can be claimed, such as settling a lawsuit or selling the partnership?s assets or goodwill require a unanimous vote.The principal-agent relationship is also important in a corporation. Such a business is a legal entity in itself and is treated as a person under the law. It is run by a board of directors whom its shareholders elect. These directors make the policies of the corporation and look after it. They are agents of the corporation and owe a fiduciary duty to it; they must look out for the best interest of the corporation. They are held to the business judgment rule where they must show that their actions were made after carefully studying the situation. To benefit the corporation, they may choose to hire other agents, such as attorneys, accountants, or financial analysts. Directors also may not take for themselves an opportunity that their corporation may want.The principal-agent relationship can end for several reasons; the contract might reach its end date, the purpose for the agency may be accomplished, or the principal may die or become incapacitated. Even if the agent is fired or if he quits, the agreement does not automatically end. The agent can still have lingering apparent authority since various third parties may remain unaware of the termination of the relationship. To ensure that the agent does not act beyond his authority at the end of the relationship, the principal must be sure to give notice that the person is no longer his agent. There are two kinds of notice. The first is actual notice in which the principal informs everyone with whom the agent is dealt. He must also give constructive notice to the general public to ensure that they are aware as well. He can do this through trade magazines or newspapers.The relationship between a principal and his agent is one which is vital in the workplace and to many businesses, especially partnerships or corporations. Such a relationship ensures that the best interests of the business are looked out for and helps it to prosper in the long run.

That sounds very interesting! I've never had mustard leaves...what do they taste like? I'd like to try this.

The people I know who purposely get drunk usually do it to look cool, which doesn't make sense to me becausing losing control of yourself usually just makes you look like an idiot. Some do it to forget about something that's bothering them, but most often it's all about their image.I agree with Ernest Hemingway's ideal of drinking...a person should drink (even if heavily) but not get drunk. That way, you can get the benefit of feeling relaxed but still know you won't be making an idiot of yourself.

I'm afraid of heights too, but I still make a point of climbing ladders and looking down even when I don't want to, just to convince myself that I'll be okay. It has really helped lessen my phobia.I also get claustophobic in large crowds. I don't mind if a tight space is created by walls, but if it's people boxing me in, then I freak out.But I think my worst fear is public speaking. Especially when the audience is probing and skeptical of whatever I'm saying.

Eating a high protein diet which was also rich in fruits and vegetables is what helped clear my skin up. My brother finds that taking a multivitamin helps his. It varies from person to person; if your skin is naturally oily, then perhaps the most important thing you can do is keep it clean by washing a few times a day and eat a healthy diet lower in fat. I'm wary of products meant to clear up acne; usually small, natural changes are what work best. I have found though, that using a thick scrub to clean my face works wonders.There is a myriad of articles and information on tips to reduce acne. I'd just keep trying different things until you find something that works. Use common sense, of course...buying a $1000000 miracle pill to clear it up in 5 min probably isn't a good idea

I don't think makeup is necessary at all. It should be reserved for when you want to look a little different, such as during a big party or special occasion. I think that instead of spending an hour a day applying paint to your face, you'd be better served to spend the hour exercising, doing yoga, or some other activity which contributes to your health, thereby making you pretty naturally.I noticed that by changing my diet and activity level, my appearance changed dramatically in ways I hadn't anticipated. My skin and hair acquired that healthy "glow," and my skin became less oily. I no longer needed powder to make it look drier.The problem with makeup also is that it's kind of addicting. Very few people, once they get used to it, feel that they will look good without out. It's as if you start and then you can't stop. And it is true that when a girl who normally wears makeup appears without it, she looks different. But that doesn't mean she's uglier without it, just different.

Our bodies are so complicated that it's difficult to determine what exactly is good for them and what is not. So much effort goes into trying to figure this out, but many different results are often obtained. Since we're all different, this makes sense to some extent. I think that as long as we keep biology in mind and remember that we evolved to survive and thrive in a natural enviorment, we can make smart food choices. That is, foods that were available to us millions of years ago, like fruit or nuts, are generally good for us, whereas things we've recently concoted such as Twinkies and Oreos generally aren't. Even supplements should be viewed with a skeptical eye. Our ancestors survived without them, so we shold be able to make it as well.No matter how much we try to defy nature, we cannot. Death, unfortunately, is inevitable, even if we want to optimize our nutrition to the fullest. We might as well be reasonable about it so that we can live life without spending every moment worrying if what we are eating is okay.

I think you can argue that any exercise may be bad for you, because if you do it improperly, you could hurt yourself. But as long as you're moving your body in a way it was meant to be moved, you should be fine (within reason, of course). Any type of exercise will hurt at first if you aren't strong enough, but doing it will get you stronger.It's just important not to overdo anything or strain yourself. As long as you're using common sense and listening to your body (there's a difference between pain that is building your muscles and pain that indicates you're pushing yourself way to far), you should be fine.

It's hard to judge without sample text in place; the title usually plays a huge role in how a site appears. Also, maybe the navigation should be moved to the left? It may be counterintuitive otherwise.I like the colors and the bubble background of the title bar. What did you use to design it?

I also love L.M. Montgomery's books...the Anne and Emily series were both so good; I just wish there were more than three books in the latter. I liked Puzo's The Godfather as well, much better than the movies, even though those were very, very good.My favorite authors though are the three Bronte sisters, Charlotte, Emily, and Anne. Charlotte's Jane Eyre and Anne's The Tenant of Wildfell Hall are my two favorites out of their books. I just ordered a book of Charlotte's Tales of Angria which she wrote when she was younger, and I can't wait to start it. It's been so long since I read a Bronte book for the first time.

I dream in color. Sometimes the colors are more vivid than other times, and I wake up remembering specific parts where the color was particularly bright. But most often there is nothing extraordinary about the dream's color, it is just the way I would experience it in real life.I'm finding that I remember my dreams less and less. I really only remember one out of every hundred or so dreams that I have. When I first wake up, major images and events stick in my mind, but within the hour they are gone, and I mean completely gone.Considering how weird some of them are, this is probably a good thing...

I used to dream of going to MIT for grad school...but I don't know if I really want to go that route anymore.What I currently love about MIT is their OpenCourseWare (ocw.mit.edu). I've downloaded lectures that interest me, put them on my mp3 player, and I just walk around listening to interesting information. It's easy and I've learned some cool things so far!

I can't emphasize enough how impressed I am everytime I meet someone who is humble and kind, and then later find out they've done something incredible but never even talk about it. It can be tempting when you've achieved something big to want to go broadcast it and call attention to yourself, but it takes strength to keep it to yourself and just be satisfied with the fact that you did it, not needing others' approval of it.Abandoning pride forces you to learn to earn just your own approval, not that of those around you. This, I think, is key to being happy. You need to live on your own terms instead of depending on others to say when you're good enough or when you've done enough. Instead of pride, you need contentment with yourself as you are.

It's important to do a variety of weight lifting exercises when trying to build muscle, so that you get muscle added all over your body, not just one area. Proper nutrition is essential: LOTS of protein to build the muscles and good fats (monounsaturated) and carbohydrates (complex, "brown" starch, not sugar or refined starch) to give your body the energy to build this muscle. It is also vital to give your body plenty of rest. Yes, the workouts will be intense and hard, but you need to be sure you get adequate sleep at night and work different areas on different days instead of beating up the same muscles every day. When you lift, you are ripping apart your muscle, so you need to give your body a chance to use the protein you're consuming and build it back up again.You also need to watch the amount of cardio exercise you do. It is very important to do some for overall health and endurance, but if you overdo it, you'll be burning off the calories your body would otherwise use to build the muscle. As you build muscle, you also need to increase your diet, because unlike fat, muscle burns calories even when you're at rest. So as you get more muscle, you'll burn more energy just by living and breathing.Gaining weight...the good kind, course...can be just as difficult as losing weight. But with the right diet and weight listing regime, it is possible.

I would say that it definitely depends on the business. If it's something that women tend to care about more than men, that sure, females will probably be harder to please, but if it's the other way around, then men would be. Of course, this would vary from person to person, as was metioned. If you're selling cars, male clients may be more difficult as they tend to be more interested in this subject, but there are still females who are interested and knowledgeable in this area.I hate to make generalizations like this, but I do feel like, when it comes to businesses, you kind of have to. You can't get to know every potential customer you'll have, but you still have to keep their needs in mind as you design your products or serves for them. So such generalizations, such as "females are more difficult to please," may be helpful for the business.
