Sensibly, they decided to hire an external company, called Industrial/Organization Solutions, Inc. (IOS), to develop and administer its examination. Since the IOS was receiving a very large amount of money to develop and administer its exams, they took extreme measures to verify the test was unbiased, job related, and consistent with business necessity. The extra measures which were taken to validate the exam were done in order to ensure that the exam did not favor White candidates (Mitchell, 2013). 118 firefighters took the exam; including 77 for lieutenant and 31 for captain (ten firefighters did not complete the exam for unknown reasons). It should be noted that
It is important to attend these meetings so that these big time companies see the presence of the community members that they are affecting. I was glad that I attended the meeting but not to happy with what was discussed. Pope & Talbet the company that is paying to clean the Port Gamble Bay plans to spend millions of dollars to clean up all areas of the bay EXCEPT for Point Julia which is part of the Port Gamble S'klallam Reservation. This did not make since to me at all. I left feeling like these people had an hidden agenda.
“At Northern Kentucky University, students were charged with having a keg in a dorm after university officials saw a picture of the keg online.” Cole concludes that privacy issues are a major concern for students who use Facebook, so students should be careful what they post. They are several logical fallacies in Cole’s essay. First of all, Cole uses only anecdotal evidence to support his claim. For example, he interviews and quotes several people about their opinions. He does not include any statistical or research evidence.
Professional athletes make millions of dollars every year and it isn’t fair for those out on the streets that don’t make money close to a pro athlete. If all athletes would pay an amount of taxes for social needs it would not only help people such as the homeless but also it would improve society and the way it is looked at. For example, take downtown Hastings in Vancouver, there is a tremendous amount of homeless people all crowded in this one area making it look horrible and unsafe for people. If pro athletes distribute a small amount of taxes for social needs, there wouldn’t this type of problem. The money taxed would be used to pay for homes where the homeless could stay and live, rather than have them on the streets.
Irene Joseph Professor Johnson ENGL 1301-219 January 31, 2012 Why Doesn’t GM Sell Crack? A Rhetorical Analysis of Moore’s “Why Doesn’t GM Sell Crack?” This text is an essay by Michael Moore entitled “Why Doesn’t GM Sell Crack?” It is taken from his political book Downsize This! published in 1996. This essay bought up a lot of radical thinking but at the same time, it helped the author get his point across. Moore persuades his audiences by saying as a society; we tend to forget what the outcome is when big corporations decide to fire workers because the CEO wants more for their salary.
There are several ways that this relationship can be improved to make this happen. Private and Public Police Private police are employed by private companies that pay to have their place of business protected from theft and other potential problems. Since they are employed by companies rather than the government, the burden is not put on the tax payers. Private police or private security has more resources than that of public law enforcement does financially. Private security or police are generally better educated and have access to more security equipment.
Both the companies are a non-profit company they make more of a profit then most. In the same article by fairtest.org states that “The fact that these companies are allowed to be the only game in town for admissions testing into institutions of higher education is a travesty when looking at big corporations like chevron and ATT they are not allowed to take over all of the gas companies in America and ATT is not allowed to take over all the cell phone companies in the united states because it would destroy our economy and this needs to be challenged by administrators at the school themselves if we ever hope to have true reform in the testing industry” was said by the same article on fairtest.org. “When a student or a parent clicks on the internet to sign up for AP and SAT tests they type in collegeboard.org not .com but .org because its suppose to be a non profit organization that is suppose to not collect money for their own profits and benefits” said in the same article by
English 152 30 September 2013 Alcohol abuse effecting academic performance needs to be written about because there are strong cases for both sides of the argument, it is a current and interesting topic, and people need to be informed on how alcohol may be a direct cause of failing performance in school.

Between Saturday 6th and Thursday 11th of August 2011, thousands of people drew the English government's attention to the fact they felt neglected and overlooked by a society that would blindly pass judgment on them. “Big Brother isn't watching you” is Russel Brand's take on the UK riots of 2011, in which he tries to explain the rioters motives in detail. As Russel Brand would himself point out is that he no longer lives in London and that he has “been transplanted to Los Angeles by a combination of love and money; such good fortune and opportunity, in both cases, you might think disqualify me from commenting on matters in my homeland.” Though despite this statement, Brand qualifies himself by explaining a strong moral connection to his homeland. His attitude toward the UK riots of 2011 is that it is a common problem, one born from neglect rather than the nature of people and that it must be solved with collaboration not by separation. Brand feels that the blame of the UK riots are not necessarily to be placed with the rioters and their mindsets, but rather that it is born from the social neglect that has been predominantly seen in the lower classes of society.
However, the SPH program put a lot of pressure on store managers and sales. In 2010, a large group of the R&R associates sued it for “working off the clock”. This lawsuit might cause reputation damage, and the settlement is up to $200 million. In 2008-2009 before the case, there was an economic recession. The whole luxury goods industry in the U.S. dropped over 14%, and R&R revenues declined 10%.
