...Case Study: ABC University The sessional and part time instructors at ABC University have been on strike for several weeks now. Attempts to come to a resolution of the conflict have come to a complete standstill. Talks, when they do start, become called off rather quickly. Both sides see the other as being intransigent and both sides feel their own perspective has not been heard by the other. In the midst of all of this are the students who have been out of school for a long time. The faculty too is frustrated as they feel caught in the middle between the University and the sessional/part time staff. The union for the instructors has been lobbying both students and tenured faculty to take their side in this conflict. The administration has written a few letters to students and faculty themselves defending their perspective. Some background information: Last year, the faculty negotiated a pay raise with the University of a 5% increase over a period of 3 years. In contrast, when the sessional/part time instructors’ contract came up for renewal this year, the University offered these instructors an increase of only 2.5% over a period of 3 years. The sessional/part time instructors feel that this difference in increase represents inequity. The University justifies paying sessional/part time instructors less than permanent faculty on the basis that the sessionals are usually young, mainly women, and are used to working for less pay for equal work because differences...

Starting from paint, games , and then finally LOGO, my first ever experience with a programming language. It changed my whole perception about what we can do with computers.

...Here he also meets his wife, Ruth McCue Bell. Graham and Bell got married on August 13, 1943 and had five children. Billy pastored briefly at First Baptist Church in Western Springs, Illinois, before he went on to join Youth for Christ, a group which spoke to young people and veterans about Jesus. In 1947 Billy became the president of Northwestern Schools, a group of Christian schools in Minnesota. A year later he resigned to preach for good. With Billy Grams alluring and fervent sermons it didn’t take long for people to start identifying him. Two years later, 1949, Graham got a call from group called “Christ for Greater Los Angeles” to come to preach at their revival. When Billy was on a radio show, people caught word that he was going to be preaching at the revival and were ecstatic. There were so many people they had to extend the revival another five weeks. That when Billy Graham became the greatest evangelist of all time. Billy Graham was getting so big that he wanted to expand, so he made the Bill Graham Evangelist Association. He first started on the radio on a show called Songs in the Night. Then he moved on to...

...Trial and Verdict Arquisa Ross Dorothy Sliben Into to Criminal Justice 02/28/2015 Contentious Teacher Related Policies Moving From Legislatures to the Courts National teacher unions won a landmark victory in a California lawsuit last year that challenged tenure protections, a case that became the beginning of a national effort to roll back teacher tenure laws in state courts. Teaching professions are shifting from legislative arenas to the courts giving judges the chance to make decisions that could shape the way teachers are hired, fired, and paid. Lawsuits show that two of the nation’s most contentious battles over the teaching professions. Now some of the largest unions in the country are using similar tactics to end test based evaluations, teachers say that they are arbitrary and unfair. Teachers are turning to the courts to fight for one of their most pressing interests. A lot of the teachers have come together stating that there’s nothing wrong with teacher evaluations when done right. President of the National Education Association the nation’s largest teachers union which has helped argue the case in Florida and Tennessee. Many of the lawsuits says that were widespread errors in the new evaluations because of a rushed rollout and faulty data including incomplete or wrong test scores and some teachers were docked due to absences which should’ve been protected under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act. Many of the teachers has stepped up and said “ It’s...

His meeting with Conservative Leader, David Campbell, included a significant snippet caught by the ubiquitous open mike. Andrew Grice in The Independent includes in his account of the Tories new political mantra to be repackaged at later date for Australia his report of the private conversation between Obama and Cameron: It is a curse that afflicts all political leaders: having no time to think. Gordon Brown often does his thinking at the crack of dawn because his diary is so full. And a remarkable conversation when David Cameron met Barack Obama on Saturday was picked up by an ABC News microphone. Cameron: Do you have a break at all? Obama: Actually the most important thing you need to do is to have big chunks of time during the day when all you’re doing is thinking … The biggest mistake that a lot of these folks make is just feeling as if you have to be… Cameron: These guys just chalk up your diary. Obama: Right. In 15-minute increments … Cameron: We call it the dentist’s waiting room. You have to scrap that … you’ve got to have time.

...talked about him the same way that they talked about the Columbine kids, and the Batman shooter. They want you to think that these people are disturbed, and have just snapped. They said that he carried an “edged weapon” with him. He killed a woman down the street, and a teacher before taking his own life. Earlier that day, I tuned in to the news broadcast on ABC Channel 7 at 11am CST. They began the segment with discussing the same story. Their segment however, only ran about a minute. They informed me on the time that this happened. They said that the police took another man into custody following the shooting. He was alive but could have died. They thought that they had the right man in custody, but thought that there was another suspect, and were not sure the kind of weapon that was used. As much as I hate to say it, Channel 9 news got me with this one. They were more credible because they had all the facts. They knew how everything played out; they knew what kind of weapon was used, and the details of the shooting. Channel 7 reported that the police believed that they had caught the shooter, but the shooter had committed suicide, so that could not have been the correct person. They also did not know what kind of weapon was used, they kept reporting shooting, but not saying that he had other weapons. They limited the information. They ran the story without all the facts, and the facts that they did have were not all...

...What started out as a cute, little mouse ended like a horror film you see in theaters. Who knew something so small could cause so much havoc in a household? It sure brought out the girly side in my whole family though. Also, it showed who had the guts to try and stop the beast from tearing our whole family apart. This experience reveals how much family is willing to do to save themselves and kick everyone else in the shins and run. My family and I first encountered the creature when we were at home watching Monday Night Football on ABC. The Panthers and Colts had just kicked off when the little critter ran across our floor like he was imitating Usain Bolt. I have never seen my mom jump so high from her seat and scream so loud. Now,...

...The last Fast and Furious One of the greatest films of 2015 and one that you don’t want to miss is Furious 7. Since 2001 The Fast and the Furious movies have caught the attention of billions of viewers all around the world, especially Furious 7 directed by James Wan. It will have you on the edge of your seat and you won’t want to blink! It is a film about family and how this group of friends have come a long way living their lives in the fast lane trying to keep each other alive as they embarked in new missions every movie. As Dominic Toretto states, “I don't have friends. I got family.” They began to see each other as family ever since Fast Five and now they continue their journey together to fight a man that is after them for revenge. According to Matt Singer “This is a lot of revenge for one movie to contain, and that’s before Dom and the rest of his crew (which also includes computer expert Chris “Ludacris” Bridges and comic relief Tyrese Gibson) hook up with a shadowy government operative named Mr. Nobody (Kurt Russell) and then start skydiving out of planes behind the wheel of their custom cars, a sport I guess we have to call “skydriving” (Singer 1). Everything in this film was great, from actions scenes from begging to end and more action all throughout the movie was insane. You wouldn’t believe the stunts they pulled off in this movie, you have to watch it to believe “skydriving.” David Blaustein states in his review “Not only are the "Furious 7" car chases and...

Hamilton, 1997 Anita Blake, vampire hunter, is now herself a hunted woman. Who put the $500,000 price on her head--a man or a monster? It's not just her own skin she needs to save; the rivalry between her werewolf boyfriend, Richard, and Marcus, the other alpha werewolf in his pack, has come to full boil. And there's always Jean-Claude, the vampire who's been waiting for just the right moment to slip inside Anita's head and heart. 1 The most beautiful corpse I'd ever seen was sitting behind my desk. Jean-Claude's white shirt gleamed in the light from the desk lamp. A froth of lace spilled down the front, peeking from inside his black velvet jacket. I stood behind him, my back to the wall, arms crossed over my stomach, which put my right hand comfortably close to the Browning Hi-Power in its shoulder holster. I wasn't about to draw on Jean-Claude. It was the other vampire I was worried about. The desk lamp was the only light in the room. The vampire had requested the overheads be turned out. His name was Sabin, and he stood against the far wall, huddling in the dark. He was covered head to foot in a black, hooded cape. He looked like something out of an old Vincent Price movie. I'd never seen a real vampire dress like that. The last member of our happy little group was Dominic Dumare. He sat in one of the client chairs. He was...

...Coy Choate Mr. Pellerin English 1010 26 November, 2012 Discrimination of Mentally Disabled People Have you ever caught yourself staring at an individual you believed to be retarded or handicapped? Maybe you snickered under your breath when one of them made a funny noise that caught you off guard. Most people will even make an inappropriate remark about this individual, or look at them as though they’re some kind of monster. In today’s society, discrimination towards disabled people is a very big problem. Statistics show that in 2008 alone, Americans with disabilities were victims of about 47,000 rapes, 79,000 robberies, 114,000 aggravated assaults and 476,000 simple assaults (Invisible Hate Crime). The majority of these crimes are committed against younger people, sometimes as young as 12 years old. Although it isn’t rare to see an individual with a mental disability, the odds of a child being born disabled are very rare. At age 25, the odds of having a child with Down syndrome are 1 in 1250 (Down Syndrome). As age increases, the odds of having a Down syndrome child become more likely. This disorder occurs when the child has an extra copy of chromosome 21. Generally, everyone has 2 copies of each chromosome, but this extra copy causes the learning process and body/brain development to be slower than the normal rate. There are many health issues that can come with this condition such as congenital heart disease, Alzheimer’s, hearing problems, thyroid dysfunctions, and many...

...of them can be repeat offenders if not kept off the streets. Some of them go to jail and do honestly change. Some don’t and have no remorse about the type of life style they live. They don’t care much about themselves let alone anyone else. Now that being said I disagree with taking the death penalty off the table completely. Some people that are caught and convicted of a crime are not remorseful and if given the chance would strike again. These types of people I feel should be put to death. Not from a stand point of revenge, but from a stand point of protection. Terrorist for example have been so brain washed by Islam into thinking that what they are doing is right that often times reconditioning or mental retraining would not be effective. And they would often strike at their target again. Now most of the time the person that is committing the crime is killed in the act, but the perpetrators are the once that need to be brought to justice. Putting them in jail is not the answer either. They more than likely would just try to recruit more persons to their cause. This has been clearly reported to us by sources like ABC NEWS. Now the question put to us is: should the United States continue to use capital punishment? The article is very biased and one can tell what stand the writer is taking after the very first paragraph. The very question is asking for our opinion but to support my above opinion these are the facts. As long as we are using newer drugs to stop the...

...Making the honest decision is not always simple as ABC. I recall a day were I admired the choice I made. When I used to live in California, Smoking weed was ‘’cool’’, various of my friends smoked in school or just about any were they could. All my friends acknowledge that I didn’t engage in drugs. This acknowledgement of theirs didn’t stop them from offering me drugs. Every time my best friend Gina and I hanged out she had a blunt with her. This drug business was getting annoying, when I would tell them to quit, there reply was ‘’we are in America, this is a free country!’’. I speculated to myself if my best friends would end their addiction, I didn’t know what else to do to help them quit, since my words were garbage to their ears. Their...
