Answer to Question 1

The business judgment rule states that managers are not liable for decisions they make in good faith if (1 ) it is done without a conflict of interest; (2 ) it is done with the care that an ordinary prudent person would take in a similar situation; and (3 ) it is done in a manner they reasonably believe to be in the best interests of the corporation.

Answer to Question 2

Delaware offers corporations several advantages:
Flexible laws that favor management. For example, a Delaware court recently upheld the enforceability of bylaws requiring shareholders who want to sue a Delaware company to do so in Delaware. For a company, defending a lawsuit on its home turf is much more convenient and predictable, not to mention cheaper, than being sued in another state.
An efficient court system. Delaware has a special court called a Chancery Court that hears nothing but business cases and has judges who are experts in corporate law.
A neutral arena. Because very few businesses are actually based in Delaware, it is viewed as being a neutral place in which to try cases. None of the parties has a home court advantage.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.

The cure for trichomoniasis is easy as long as the patient does not drink alcoholic beverages for 24 hours. Just a single dose of medication is needed to rid the body of the disease. However, without proper precautions, an individual may contract the disease repeatedly. In fact, most people develop trichomoniasis again within three months of their last treatment.
