At a store, a female patron wanting to try on clothing secured the dressing area with a curtain. Another patron, the insured, engaged in allegedly assaultive conduct by rummaging, feeling, and grabbing the curtain in an attempt to make physical contact with the female patron. The insured also knelt down and used his phone to take videos or photos of the patron under the curtain. Notable Timestamps [ 00:19 ] - At a store, a female patron wanting to try on clothing secured the dressing area with a curtain. However, another patron, (who happens to be our insured) entered the store with various family members, selected a shirt and approached the occupied dressing area. Although the insured was made aware by the patron not to come in, he then engaged in allegedly assaultive conduct by rummaging, feeling, and grabbing the curtain in an attempt to make physical contact with the patron. [ 01:00 ] - At this point, a store associate provided the insured an alternate location to try on the shirt, which the insured did. But afterwards, the insured knelt down and used his phone to take videos or photos of the patron under the curtain. [ 01:24 ] - The patron sued the insured for allegedly assaultive conduct in a store. Prior to trial, in her discovery deposition, the patron explained that she tried to laugh it off and make a joke out of an uncomfortable situation by saying "you don't want to spoil your breakfast." According to the patron, the insured's family told the insured not to act that way, and "we kind of giggled and I just tried to shut it down very quickly and said, guys, enjoy your day." [ 02:00 ] - The insured sought coverage under his HO policy, and the insurer sought a declaratory judgment that it owed no duty to defend or indemnify the insured.  [ 02:40 ] - Special guest Michele Hunter, coverage counsel at PLRB, joins us today to discuss this podcast's first Casualty topic. [ 03:37 ] - See AIG Property Casualty Co. v. Anenberg, 2020 WL 4607839 (D. Haw. 8/11/20). This behavior does not seem accidental, but this particular policy defines an occurrence not just as an accident, but as an offense as well. [ 05:50 ] - Among other charges, the patron claimed Negligent Infliction of Emotional Distress. If one claim triggers coverage, there is a duty to defend for the entire claim. [ 06:46 ] - The insurer relied on the Intentional Acts exclusion to deny coverage. Courts are split on whether to apply a subjective or objective test in applying this exclusion. For the objective test, the court asks if a reasonable person would consider it an intentional act. The subjective test asks what the insured believed, and Hawaii applies this test. [ 08:24 ] - However, the insured chose to argue that objectively speaking, his behavior was not intentional. The insured claimed that the patron's joking response proved he had no intent to harm. [ 09:20 ] - The court agreed that the insured objectively did not intend harm. [ 11:30 ] - The majority of relevant case law does not allow the “creative pleading” addition of Negligent Infliction of Emotional Distress to establish coverage, in intentional sexual assault cases. [ 12:40 ] - The court found that the Sexual Molestation exclusion did not apply because the complaint did not allege the pertinent actions. [ 13:50 ] - The laughter occurred after the behavior, but this court used it to interpret the insured's intent anyway. [ 15:30 ] - Under the typical ISO definition of an occurrence, this would likely not be considered an occurrence. [ 15:33 ] - Michele provides a recap of the scenario and the points above. This case demonstrates the impact that specific policy language, creative pleading, and individual judges can have on a seemingly clear-cut argument.

Welcome back to the first episode of the year, with Alan Questel.  Alan is a renown Feldenkrais practitioner, teacher and author.  I found my conversation with him to be both enjoyable and deeply fascinating.  I loved where the conversation went.  Alan's wisdom, authenticity and generosity added so much value to this episode.  In the beginning of our conversation we delved into a myriad of thought-provoking topics inspired by Charles Bukowski's assertion that we often fail to be good to one another. We explored the environmental factors contributing to this phenomenon and how our self-image, deeply intertwined with our self-regard, plays a crucial role. An intriguing discussion began to unfold around the transformative power of physical movement and its impact on our self-perception, emphasizing the importance of moving in ways that resonate positively with us.We then navigate the paradox of finding it easier to extend kindness to others than to ourselves, underscoring the value of small acts of kindness in enhancing how we feel about ourselves. The conversation shifts to practical steps one can take to aid others and how these actions can catalyze personal growth. We dissect the notion that kindness often starts with small gestures and reflect on the ways we are already kind in our daily lives.Further, we examine how movement influences our thoughts and feelings, with a focus on its fundamental role in all our actions. The episode highlights the contrasting perspectives of observers and doers, proposing that kindness is born from action, which is inherently linked to movement.We then shifted the conversation to focus on the things we excel at in our daily routines and how mastering small tasks provides the confidence to tackle larger challenges. The discussion moves to the timeframe required for change, the significance of being present in the moment, and the positive impact of reducing self-criticism.The episode also offers insights into moments of self-reflection, strategies for evolving into the person we aspire to be in a year, and the potential within us. We delve into the pitfalls of the comparing mind, the tension between reality and expectations, and the quest for purpose.In another highly interesting shift, we explore Milton Erickson's work on Ericksonian Hypnosis, its implications on depression and perceived lack of choice, and the actions that can lead to meaningful change. We discuss demonstrations of agency, engagement, performance, and the innovative approach of learning differently.The conversation takes a deeper turn into understanding the context of 'no context', the issues with the 'just do it' mentality, and the art of tolerating discomfort. We examine the impact of false beliefs and how stress can surprisingly offer benefits. This leads to a discussion on the misconception of overnight success and the reality of success being decades in the making.The episode wraps up with an encouragement to give a bit more in everything we do, introducing our listeners to Alan Questel's insightful work. We highlight his website www.practicing-kindness.com and his book “Practice Intentional Acts of Kindness,” which provide valuable resources for those looking to delve deeper into these themes.This episode is a rich tapestry of ideas and insights, inviting listeners to reflect, move, and grow in kindness towards themselves and others. It's a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand the intricate relationship between our actions, our self-image, and the kindness we extend to the world.Thank you for listening, enjoy! Visit us at:www.theselfhelpantidote.com

Small steps, such as listening better and performing small acts of kindness, can help us practice kindness daily. Developing connections with ourselves and others is essential for practicing kindness. Moving in a way that we like and appreciating ourselves as a work in progress can contribute to self-kindness. Unconscious habits and negative self-talk can hinder our ability to be kind to ourselves. Kindness has the power to heal a fractured world, and it starts with each individual taking responsibility and acting with kindness. Alan Questel's book, 'Practice Intentional Acts of Kindness,' provides further insights and practical exercises for cultivating kindness.

Have you ever been on the giving or receiving end of kindness? When you really think about it, they were intentional, not random acts! Good is everywhere, and we can choose to be kind. We can practice intentional kindness until it's reflexive, knowing there is no measure or threshold for kindness, and can appear in different ways.   The more we see it, and the more we're open to it, the more we want to participate in it, because kindness is contagious, addicting, and can be repaid abundantly!

In this episode of Quit Bleeping Around®, awesome superachiever, author, and former FBI violent crime analyst and senior manager Christina Eanes interviews Stephanie Hubka. Stephanie is a talent development consultant, travel writer, and podcast host on a mission to unlock potential for individuals, teams, and organizations. She does this through her company Protos Learning. In this episode, Stephanie shares how important kindness is in the workplace (and in life!) and how to harness its amazing powers in your life.

As a follower of Christ, your best days are ahead! But—it won't just happen! In this episode, Eric and Gena continue with thoughts about living an intentional life and they share several “intentional acts” that will make a lasting difference. With some intent and pursuit, you can have the marriage, family, and life that God desires you to have. “...the Lord's plans stand firm forever; his intentions can never be shaken.” Psalm 33:11 No matter where you are in your marriage and family life, God still has a good plan for your home! Will you partner with Him to see all that He has for you and your house?

I'm hoping that this episode serves as a reminder about being kind. And last time we talked about being recklessly kind, being kind in ways that fill you up with joy and happiness and ways other people enjoy receiving that kindness and just doing it all over at any time doesn't matter. You're being kind. Well, now I want to invite you to be kind and to be very intentional about your kindness.

Privacy laws in different countries. Privacy laws apply to both public and private sector actors. United States. The Constitution of the United States and United States Bill of Rights do not explicitly include a right to privacy. Currently no federal law takes a holistic approach to privacy regulation. In the US, privacy and associated rights have been determined via court cases and the protections have been established through laws. The Supreme Court in Griswold v Connecticut, (1965) found that the Constitution guarantees a right to privacy against governmental intrusion via penumbras located in the founding text. In 1890, Warren and Brandeis drafted an article published in the Harvard Law Review titled "The Right To Privacy" that is often cited as the first implicit finding of a U.S. stance on the right to privacy. Right to privacy has been the justification for decisions involving a wide range of civil liberties cases, including Pierce v Society of Sisters, which invalidated a successful 1922 Oregon initiative requiring compulsory public education; Roe v Wade, which struck down an abortion law from Texas, and thus restricted state powers to enforce laws against abortion; and Lawrence v Texas, which struck down a Texas sodomy law, and thus eliminated state powers to enforce laws against sodomy. Legally, the right of privacy is a basic law which includes: 1. The right of persons to be free from unwarranted publicity 2. Unwarranted appropriation of one's personality 3. Publicizing one's private affairs without a legitimate public concern 4. Wrongful intrusion into one's private activities In 2018, California set out to create a policy promoting data protection, the first state in the United States to pursue such protection. The resulting effort is the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), reviewed as a critical juncture where the legal definition of what privacy entails from California lawmakers' perspective. The California Consumer Protection Act is a privacy law protecting the residents of California and their Personal identifying information. The law enacts regulation over all companies regardless of operational geography protecting the six Intentional Acts included in the law. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/law-school/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/law-school/support

Day 49 - Intentional Acts of Kindness (100 Days to Freedom)

Scripture Used: 1 John 3:16-18, Matthew 25, Matthew 5:16,Quote: "…nothing has contributed to the progress of the Christians as their charity to strangers … the impious Galileans provide not only for their poor, but for ours as well." -Julian – 4th Century Roman EmperorNotes:•Nature of Kindness (meeting of felt needs)•  Evidence of Authenticity (Matt. 25)•  Impact of Kindness (Matt. 5:16)•  Cultivating Kindness  ◦ Intentional Acts of Kindness 

James 4:13-17 13 Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.” 14 Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. 15 Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that.” 16 As it is, you boast in your arrogant schemes. All such boasting is evil. 17 If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn't do it, it is sin for them.

The inventory shortage exclusion is often misunderstood and misapplied. The exclusion, in simple, clear and unambiguous language states: “This policy does not insure against … [l]oss or shortage disclosed upon taking inventory.” Inherent Vice Inherent vice relates to internal decomposition or some quality which brings about the object's own injury or destruction, not an extraneous cause.

Exclusions to Coverage for Construction Defects https://zalma.com/blog Implicit in the concept of insurance is that the loss occur as a result of a fortuitous event not one planned, intended, or anticipated. Oddly, the fortuity principle never appears in insurance contracts. The principle is rooted in common law and in the statutes of at least six states. The fortuity principle has the effect of an exclusion. That is, an all-risk policy might provide coverage for all risks minus named exclusions, but never provides coverage for non-fortuitous events, even though non-fortuitous events are not named exclusions in the policy. For this reason, the fortuity principle is sometimes called the unnamed exclusion. A fortuitous event is an event which so far as the parties to the contract are aware, is dependent on chance. It may be beyond the power of any human being to bring the event to pass; it may be within the control of third persons; it may even be a past event, such as the loss of a vessel, provided that the fact is unknown to the parties. Compagnie des Bauxites de Guinee v. Ins. Co. of N. Am., 724 F.2d 369,372 (3d Cir. 1983) (quoting Restatement of Contracts § 291 cmt. A (1932)) The purpose behind the fortuity doctrine applies with full force where a party attempts to purchase insurance against the consequences of his own ongoing wrongful conduct.” (Scottsdale Ins. Co. v. Travis, Court of Appeal of Texas, 68 S.W.3d 72 (2001)) Intentional Acts Exclusions Judge Cardozo, in 1923, stated a simple and obvious rule of law that “no one shall be permitted to take advantage of his own wrong. {Messersmith v. American Fidelity Co., 232 N.Y. 161, 133 N.E. 432 (1921).] California, by statute, covers has codified Cardozo's statement. Almost every insurance policy issued in the US excludes the intentional acts of the insured. Those that do not are covered by the public policy adopted by most states. To insure against wrongful acts would be to allow people to act wrongfully with no adverse effect since their victims would be compensated by insurance. Insurance involves the transfer of the risk of possible losses from the policyholder to the insurer. It is not available for losses that the policyholder knows of, plans, intends, or is aware are substantially certain to occur. Insurers faced with a construction defect claim may attempt to exclude coverage by claiming that the insured intended to build a defective structure. This is not a wise option to exercise unless the insurer has clear and convincing evidence of such intent. © 2021 – Barry Zalma Barry Zalma, Esq., CFE, --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/barry-zalma/support

Intentional Acts https://zalma.com/blog In Automobile Insurance Co. of Hartford v. Cook, the court was faced with the legal question of whether an individual's homeowner's insurance policy affords coverage when that individual is sued for wrongful death after killing a person in self-defense. On February 20, 2002, defendant Alfred S. Cook shot and killed Richard A. Barber, the decedent, after a disagreement over a business arrangement spun out of control. The decedent had entered Cook's home without permission. During their discussions, Cook, armed with a handgun, retreated to his bedroom to retrieve a 12-gauge shotgun and then returned to the living room, where the fatal confrontation occurred. Cook was indicted for a number of crimes, including murder in the second degree, stood trial, and was acquitted on all counts of the indictment. The jury concluded in the criminal case that the prosecution failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the 120-pound Cook did not have legal justification for shooting the 360‑pound decedent, who had previously attacked and injured Cook after he refused to leave Cook's home. Finding no coverage, the majority held there was no possible interpretation other than that the acts were intentional. In a case where “the policy language does not refer to an intentional act but, rather, contains an exclusion that applies to ‘assault and/or battery committed by any insured * * * or any other person.' Application of the exclusion does not depend upon the perpetrator's mental state or whether [injured person] was the intended victim.” When the perpetrator was convicted of battery on the claimant the exclusion applies regardless of the perpetrator's mental state. In 1978, the California Supreme Court in Clemmer v. Hartford Insurance Co.71 dealt with a shooting that resulted in the death of the victim. Regardless, it still led to a finding by the Supreme Court of California of a need for defense and indemnity. The court concluded that Hartford had no duties with regard to Dr. Lovelace's intentional acts in the killing of Dr. Clemmer but was obligated to defend him. If there was a finding of nonintentional conduct in the shooting, however, it would be obligated to defend and its refusal to do so was wrongful. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/barry-zalma/support

On this episode of SCP, I am joined by my dad, Mikel Arnold to talk about kindness! My pops is a great handyman, hard worker, and loves to serve people. Both of my parents enjoy serving others, but my dad's willing & readiness is notable. One day when we were talking I noticed that his acts of kindness are not random at all. Rather, they were all intentional. Then I started to think that as followers of Jesus we should be intentional in our giving by seeking out ways to give daily, like my dad. Now, there will be moments of randomness, but for the Believer, we should be intentional in our acts of kindness towards others. I mean it is a part of the fruit of the spirit, so kindness should be what describes those who love Jesus. If it's not, ask the Lord to help you with being more intentional in acts of kindness. I believe that starts with preparedness in your mind and heart, as well as flexibility in your day for God to use you. This episodes sticky note quote is, "I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me. Philippians 4:13" SHIFT | CHANGE ANCRONYM: S - Soul Stirring. There needs to be a stirring of your soul to serve God before you start serving people. H - Habits. Being intentional in your acts of kindness has to start with your habits. If it's not one of your habits to give, you might not be as consistent. I - Internal trials. Turn your internal trials into opportunities to serve others. F - Faith. Build up your faith and trust in God. T - Time. Take time out of your life to help others. Start your intentional giving NOW even while in quarantine! Get creative as Hebrews 10:24-25 says in the Message Translation. Write a card, make a card, send food, make a care package, and have fun being intentional in your giving. Thank you for listening!

I was gonna call this ep RandomActs of Acknowledgement, playing off of Random Acts of Kindnessand the whole “Pay It Forward”movement, which is giving kindness through, say, leaving money at the drive through for the person beyond you's meal. There's a lot of emphasis in that movement in doing these kind acts for strangersand it's beautiful and wonderful and I hope people keep doing it... but what about the people who matter to us? Let's talk about that in ep 053! FULL SHOW NOTES: http://www.fearlessandframed.com/053
