    Simon Kress, in the short story Sandkings by George RR Martin is a static character who is completely merciless. One example to prove Simon’s cruelty is the fact that he buys pets just to show off to his friends. When he gets the Sandkings he uses their battles to make profit through betting on the winner; however, the Sandkings will only fight if he provokes them, which he continually does for his own personal gain. In essence, he stages these battle by starving them so they all will fight for the food, this is definitely something only a person of Simon’s brutality would do. Another testament to Simon’s merciless character is when he claims that one of his parties is not a success unless someone walks out unhappy.…

    In our study, we researched the effect that drinking has on a college athletes in the evaluation of their grade point average (GPA). The following variables were used: GPA, alcoholic drinks consumed on average per week, sport he/she participated in. Our sample population includes both male and female athletes at Davenport University. We chose these variables because being college athletes we were curious as to if drinking alcohol has taken an effect on an athlete’s academic performance. Davenport University has strict guidelines that requires athletes not to consume alcohol 48 hours prior to a game or practice, or if underage no alcohol tolerance. Our basketball coach is very strict up these rules and does not tolerate any kind of drinking. This led us to wonder if the alcohol drank effects a student athlete’s GPA. To conduct this survey, we randomly selected Davenport college athletes. We brought the surveys in the training room, dorm rooms, and in the cafeteria. The sample is well representative of the population because the survey was given to different sports teams and not just centered on friends.…

    Such is the case concerning the correspondance between the Coca-Cola company and Grover Press; although one may initially assume Coca-Cola's conclusions and be in accordance with the legitimacy of their complaint—in this case, the usurpation of an advertising slogan—all sympathies are dispelled by the cynicism and sarcasm of the Grove rebuttal. Coca-Cola speaks amiably and respectfully, never lowering to the level of mockery or debasement, and outlines two main arguments concerning the dual use of the slogan in question, each of which is…

    Human resource management (HRM) refers to the policies, practices, and systems that influence employees’ behavior, attitudes, and performance. Many companies refer to HRM as involving “people practices.”Human Resource Management (HRM) is also the function within an organization that focuses on recruitment of, management of, and providing direction for the people who work in the organization. Human Resource Management can also be performed by line managers. Human Resource Management (HRM) is seen by practitioners in the field as a more innovative view of workplace management than the traditional approach. Its techniques force the managers of an enterprise to express their goals with specificity so that they can be understood and undertaken by the workforce, and to provide the resources needed for them to successfully accomplish their assignments. As such, HRM techniques, when properly practiced, are expressive of the goals and operating practices of the enterprise overall. HRM is also seen by many to have a key role in risk reduction within organizations.HRM practices include analyzing and designing work, determining human resource needs (HR planning), attracting potential employees (recruiting), choosing employees (selection), teaching employees how to perform their jobs…
