Abstract
This paper explains that, in the wake of the Home Security Act of 2002 and the FBI Reform Act of 2002, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is experiencing some shifts in human resource policies, which will affect current and future employees. The author points out that, while the FBI enjoys a certain "cloak-and-dagger" quality to its image, the reality is that the FBI requires employees for a wide range of job opportunities besides special agents. The jobs include professional support roles in any number of positions such as computer specialist, crime scene specialist, linguist and intelligence research specialist. The paper states that the FBI is headquartered in Washington, D.C.; the agency maintains field offices in a number of large cities throughout the United States, Puerto Rico and several major foreign cities.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Not surprisingly, pay scales are tied to the types of work involved, as well as other factors such as employment location (cost of living allowances are paid as with other federal positions) and seniority. In this regard, the FBI falls under the federal employment regimen, and employees receive GS ratings; special agents, for example, can attain a GS 15 rating and are eligible for "availability pay," which is equal to 25 percent of their annual base salary."

From the Paper
"As long as there is no human genome project underway, there is little government interference. However, the American companies claim that the FDA is much too slow, compared to overseas regulatory agencies, to approve new drugs. For this reason, many of the companies are either buying, being bought by, or creating partnerships with overseas companies in order to sell their drugs where restrictions are not as tight as in the U.S. One major problem that the industry faces is the high cost to the consumer. Congress has a number of bills about medical costs."

Among the two firms with the highest quality ratings, Banco Bradesco S/A has a strong dividend yield rate. With respect to short-term and long-term growth in market value, both Petroleo Brasileiro S/A?Petrobas (with the greatest potential) and Banco Bradesco S/A (with the second greatest potential) stand well above all firms from the other three industry groups.
Overall, the recommended investment choice would be either Petroleo Brasileiro S/A?Petrobas (from the oil and gas industry group) and Banco Bradesco S/A (from the banking industry group). While each firm has powerful investment potential, Banco Bradesco SA appears to be the strongest investment candidate."

Introduction
The Equal Education Opportunities Act of 1974
Implications for Teachers and the English Language Learners
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Meanwhile, aside from the fact that many children have had the strong desire to study, there have been a lot of issues concerning the approaches to make use of the said right. Standardization on who, where and when can one avail of the said rights. There have been questions about the legalities and the documents that needed to be passed so as to provide proof that one is legitimate to enjoy such rights. Thus, apart from the enjoyment that this right has given to people, there are those who experienced chaos and confusion. This is because there are states in the US where there are strict guidelines as to which school follows the said Equal Education Opportunity Act and which children can only avail of that. The main reasons for imposing such limitations are the unavailability of teachers and/or facilities and rooms to accommodate possible huge number of enrollees. Meanwhile, there are some states who are very lenient in accepting students who are trying to avail of their rights to be educated, as stated in the Equal Education Opportunities Act of 1974. Hence, in as much as the US government would want to implement a fair and legit education opportunity for all, there are still some who complained that there is unfair or unequal treatment with the way the policy is being implemented."

"Why this rush into Japan? According to a 2004 survey by JETRO, the business environment for foreign firms is improving in many dimensions, including greater opportunities to secure good employees, less prejudice against foreign firms, relaxing regulations, and greater chances for mergers and acquisitions (JETRO, 2006). Eased restrictions of the large-scale retail trade laws, decreased prices of land, and a hungry set of consumers are all making Japan a more attractive market for foreigners (Arnold, 2003)."

Work Opportunities for Women during WW ll in Canada, 2008.
A review of the work opportunities for women in Canada prior to and after World War ll.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper relates that at the start of World War ll women were denied entry to positions in the workforce that were previously thought of as reserved only for men. Thus, the earning capacity of women was considerably lower than that of men and they were unable to accede to positions of economic or political power as well. The paper continues by highlighting that, as a result of the male task force being involved in fighting a war, vacancies in the work situation became available to Canadian women and thus it became apparent that women proved to be as efficient as men in a previous male-dominated areas. Encouraged by capitalism and the ruling powers and the press, Canadian women were now holding major positions which the government attempted unsuccessfully to reverse after the war. The paper concludes that WWI helped women realize their capabilities and achieve equality with their male counterparts.
From the Paper
"In this analysis, it is important to bear in mind that women in Canada have always worked, in one way or another. Feminist scholars such as Bradbury have eloquently dismissed the myth that dual-income families are a new phenomenon, a product of the women's movement in the last few decades. In her analysis of working class families in the period from the 1860s to the 1890s - the time of the industrial revolution in Canada - Bradbury shows that even in that time, married Canadian women were actively involved in a broad range of income-generating activities, such as taking in boarders. At the same time, they were also expected to handle all domestic labour. Bradbury reproduces a cartoon showing a woman on her knees, doing the washing, while her husband eats dinner. The caption reads: "You complain, my poor husband, or your ten hours of labour. Yet I have been working for fourteen hours, and I have not yet finished my day." Bradbury also makes the point that women's labour was essential, and that if most families had relied on the husband's earnings alone, "poverty, even starvation, would have been chronic." Moreover, men would not have had the strength to labour at the factories for ten hours, and women would not have been well enough nourished to produce viable babies. In short, the "working class could not have reproduced itself."

Rockefeller's original Standard Oil Company acquired the company in 1900 but it emerged as an autonomous entity, Standard Oil Company (California) in 1911 following a Supreme Court decision to divide Standard Oil into separate companies. It continued to grow and in 1984 the company acquired Gulf Corporation - nearly doubling the size of oil and gas activities. It gained significant presence in industrial chemicals, natural gas liquids and coal. Changed name to Chevron Corporation to closely identify with the name under which most products were marketed."

Outline:
Introduction
Planning
Budgeting
Viability Testing
Target Costing
Financing & Accounting
Legal Structure
Conclusion
From the Paper
"A business plan is the guiding document that establishes a venture's business objectives, strategy and approaches to achieving those objectives. It also serves as a tool for monitoring and controlling the venture's ability to attract internal financing or equity and debt from outside sources, which may not guarantee outright success but can certainly preclude loss of money arising from a misguided venture (Damary, 2002). The business plan basically ensures the viability of the enterprise, sets the legal foundation, identifies the source of capital, balances the projected costs, establishes the accounting procedures and sets the legal foundation. The legal aspect of the business is as important as the financials because this will protect an entrepreneur against any disruptive lawsuits in the future. Thus, the key elements of a business plan are a summary, market and competition analysis, and a description of its financials. Prepared as a written document, the business plan contains an executive summary of the whole venture, its key product, target market and competition, a description of the organizational setup, the management practices to be observed, operations and financing sources."

Equal Opportunities for Athletic and Non-Athletic Students, 2004.
Examines the pros and cons of granting scholarships to students who have actively participated in sports programs.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper, while acknowledging the positive side of and the need for athletic scholarships, focuses on the negative aspect of athletic scholarships. Some of the negative aspects highlighted in the paper are that athletic scholarships provide an advantage to student athletes that are unfair to non-athletic students. With such a great emphasis on sports, many students feel inferior to athletes, even though they may participate in some other type of extracurricular activity. Furthermore, the paper argues that it is unfair for athletic students to receive all the perks and credits even though they are often absent from the classroom due to practice or competition. At the conclusion of the paper, it is suggested that, while athletic scholarships should be available to athletes, schools should make a greater effort to provide equal opportunities for all other students as well.
From the Paper
"As today?s society focuses more and more on sports, the educational world is evolving to keep up with the pace. As a result, today?s student athletes have even more opportunities and options available to them than they did just a decade ago. In addition to more scholarships in both high school and college education, student today are offered the opportunity to receive part of the credit required to graduate by actively participating in sports."

Abstract
A look at how the job market has developed over the past decades to incorporate work-from-home options over the Internet. The paper explains some of the possibilities while providing practical information for people who might want to get involved in eBay business opportunities over the Internet.
From the Paper
"In a shrinking economy in which layoffs and downsizing are common and job security is a tentative proposition, more and more people are exploring the opportunities offered by quitting their day job- or their cycle of day jobs- and choosing to work from home. The concept of working from home is tinted by notorious scam offers that abound on the internet and elsewhere that promise thousands of dollars and deliver little in terms of concrete revenue. But there is no need to be cynical- there are a number of realistic opportunities for home work, and many of them involve the internet. From pay-per-click showcasers who earn a minimal amount of supplemental income to established ?platinum? eBay sellers who earn more than $25,000 per month to online business wners, the internet, and especially eBay, offers many business opportunities for the work-at-home entrepreneur, who may suddenly find themselves free to create their own responsibilities, vacation plans, etc."
