...ENGLISH HANDBOOK -“Welcome to my evil lair…” -Mr. Braiman Brooklyn High School of the Arts www.mrbraiman.com http://handbook.mrbraiman.com “EVIL” Welcome to my evil classroom lair. In order to become full-fledged evil “minions,” you need to read this handbook carefully. It explains everything you need to know. “English,” as you may know, is shorthand for “English Language Arts.” Being that we are in an Arts school, but one where academics must and always do come first, it is important that we approach the subject as what it is: an art form. How does one study the arts? What exactly do we do when we study drawing, sculpture, music, or dance? Well, anyone who has studied the arts will tell you that studying the arts essentially involves two things: • Learning about, and developing an awareness of and appreciation for, existing works of art in that particular form; • Developing the skills and techniques associated with the art form, in order to create our own works. In the case of language arts, much like any other art form, we will be studying existing works of art (i.e., reading books, stories and poems), and developing the skills to produce our own (i.e., writing). That’s what English Language Arts is. We will also be preparing ourselves for New York State’s Regents Comprehensive Examination in English, which we’ll all be taking in June. This two-day, six-hour, four-part exam requires no specific knowledge or content, but it does require the skills to listen, read,...

Which of the following is the problem? c. Windows Server 2003, Datacenter Edition cannot be upgraded to Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition. Your IT director heard about a fast but inexpensive new computer and purchased it to be the new Windows Server 2008 server on the network. When you attempt to install Windows Server 2008, the operating system won’t install because there seems to be a problem with the BIOS in the new computer. How might this dilemma have been avoided? d. The IT director should have checked to see if the computer hardware and BIOS were certified for Windows Server 2008.

...Akuntansi Sosial dan Lingkungan Latar Belakang Akuntansi sosial dan lingkungan telah lama menjadi perhatian akuntan. Akuntansi ini menjadi penting karena perusahaan perlu menyampaikan informasi mengenai aktivitas sosial dan perlindungan terhadap lingkungan kepada stakeholder perusahahaan. Perusahaan tidak hanya menyampaikan informasi mengenai keuangan kepada investor dan kreditor yang telah ada serta calon investor atau kreditor perusahaan, tetapi juga perlu memperhatikan kepentingan sosial di mana perusahaan beroperasi. Perusahaan tidak dapat dipisahkan dengan masyarakat Karena mempunyai hubungan (timbal balik) antara perusahaan dengan masyarakat. Perusahaan dan masyarakat adalah pasangan hidup yang saling memberi dan membutuhkan. Kontribusi dan harmonisasi keduanya akan menentukan keberhasilan pembangunan bangsa. Saya katakan mempunyai timbal balik karena perusahaan dapat memberikan lapangan pekerjaan dan menyediakan barang atau jasa yang dibutuhkan oleh masyarakat untuk dikonsumsi, menyumbang pendapatan daerah atau negara, serta membayar pajak kepada negara. Dengan begitu perusahaan dapat leluasa menjalankan aktivitasnya. Adapun dua aspek yang harus diperhatikan agar tercipta kondisi antara keduanya sehingga keberadaan perusahaan membawa perubahan ke arah perbaikkan dan peningkatan taraf hidup masyarakat. Dari aspek ekonomi, perusahaan harus berorientasi mendapatkan keuntungan dan dari aspek sosial, perusahaan harus memberikan kontribusi secara langsung kepada masyarakat...

...Somanabolic Supplementation By: Kyle Leon Being a supplement sponsored athlete you might think I would be promoting supplements and making claims like all of the other supplement sponsored athletes get paid to do. Well, that’s not the case at all. I will cut through all the crap and tell it like it is. In fact, I only signed a contract with Blue Star Nutraceuticals with the mutual understanding that I will only talk about products that I have actually used with measurable results. If I take something and it does nothing, that’s exactly what I’ll say. I don’t want anyone to go through the frustrating cycle of wasting money on crap like I did. If the owner of Blue Star wasn’t the most straight up CEO in the industry with the quality of his products being the most important thing to him, I wouldn’t have signed because of how I feel about supplement companies. I’ll say this- It takes a hell of a confident, stand up guy to sign me to a contract knowing where I stand with my brutal honesty about the industry. Without further ado, here is my straight talking report for you. Enjoy, and make use of it. Supplements are used by millions of people every year in the hopes of losing fat, building muscle and improving overall health. For our purpose, we will be talking about supplements that are being marketed to guys looking to build lean muscle mass. Supplements are a multi-billion dollar industry that is highly unregulated in comparison to other industries....

...CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION TO FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT Answers to Concepts Review and Critical Thinking Questions Q1.1 The Financial Management Decision Process. What are the three types of financial management decisions? For each type of decision, give an example of a business transaction that would be relevant. Capital budgeting (deciding on whether to expand a manufacturing plant), capital structure (deciding whether to issue new equity and use the proceeds to retire outstanding debt), and working capital management (modifying the firm’s credit collection policy with its customers). Q1.5 Goal of Financial Management. What goal should always motivate the actions of the firm's financial manager? To maximize the current market value (share price) of the equity of the firm (whether it’s publicly traded or not). Q1.6 Agency Problems. Who owns a corporation? Describe the process whereby the owners control the firm's management. What is the main reason that an agency relationship exists in the corporate form of organization? In this context, what kinds of problems can arise? In the corporate form of ownership, the shareholders are the owners of the firm. The shareholders elect the directors of the corporation, who in turn appoint the firm’s management. This separation of ownership from control in the corporate form of organization is what causes agency problems to exist. Management may act in its own or someone else’s best interests, rather than those of the shareholders. If such...

...i) For the underground nerve center located under Cinderella Castle, to evaluate the effectiveness of waiting line control initiatives undertaken by the center, the performance measures should be used are that the managers can look at the average waiting time of each customer on the queue, whether it has improved or shorten. For example, before, each customer had to wait an hour to get into the Cinderella Castle; now, after executing the waiting control system, he or she needs to wait only 30 minutes to get in to the place, we can say that the waiting control is effective. Another way to evaluate the system is to watch the wait-time gradations, if the outline has consistently green light (yellow light means the line is moving slowly and customers waiting time more than expected, green light means the queue is moving in the control speed, and red light means which means the customers are waiting on a reasonable amount of time and still happy, and the place does not stopping operating, the we can say that the waiting control system is effective. Also, the managers can look at the number of rides of customers who playing the Cinderella Castle has. If they have more than nine rides, then the managers can say that the waiting control system is effective, the average rides that each visitor has had is only nine, since it could indicate that the waiting time in the line to get into the Cinderella Castle has shortened and they have time to visit other places. Moreover, the managers...

...冰与火之歌番外 效 忠 剑 士 1 一个关于七大王国的故事 原著：George R.R. Martin 翻译：Ecthelion 1 原名 The Sworn Sword， 《冰与火之歌》番外“邓克与伊戈系列”之二。 [效忠剑士] 前 言 （部分译自《效忠剑士》的前言） 冰与火之歌作为三部曲诞生， 后来扩充为六部书 （目前的消息是原计划中 《群鸦的盛宴》 篇幅太长，被拆成了两本；因此将来可能会是七部） ；正如 J.R.R. Tolkien 所说，故事随讲述 而成长。 这些书的背景设定于维斯特洛（Westeros）大陆上，在一个与我们自己的世界既相似又 不似的世界中——那里季节持续多年， 有时甚至是几十年之久。 维斯特洛大陆紧靠位于已知 世界西方边缘的日落之海（sunset sea） ，从南方多恩（Dorne）的红色沙滩一直延伸到北方的 冰封山脉和霜冻原野，那里即使是在漫长夏日中依然飘雪。 黎明纪元（Dawn of Days）的森林之子是维斯特洛首批为人所知的住民：他们是一支身 材矮小的种族， 在绿林中安家， 并在骨白色的鱼梁木 （weirwood） 上雕刻了奇怪的人脸形状。 然后先民（First Men）来到，他们带着青铜剑和马匹从东方更大的那片大陆穿越陆桥而来。 他们与森林之子们争战了数个世纪之久， 直至最终与那个更古老的种族讲和， 接受了他们无 名的古老神明。 “盟誓” （The Compact）标志了英雄纪元（Age of Heroes）的开始，先民和 森林之子分享维斯特洛，成百个小王国崛起又消亡。 其他侵略者也依次来到了。安达尔人（Andals）乘船越过狭窄的海洋，靠着铁与火他们 横扫先民的王国，把森林之子赶出了他们的森林，并伐倒了许多鱼粱木。他们带来了他们自 己的信仰，崇拜一位有着七种外表的神明，一颗七芒星是他的象征。仅仅在极北之处先民由 临冬城（Winterfell）的史塔克家族（Stark）领导击退了新来者；安达尔在其它地方取得了 胜利，并建立了他们自己的王国。森林之子逐渐衰微，而与此同时先民和他们的征服者们开 始通婚。 罗伊拿人（Rhoynar）在安达尔到来的几千年之后来到，并非作为侵略者，而是避难者； 他们乘着一万只船跨海而来，逃离瓦雷利亚（Valyria）世袭贵族日益增长的势力。瓦雷利亚 的世袭贵族统治着已知世界的大部分，他们是魔法师，学识渊博，人类所有种族中唯有他们 懂得如何饲养龙类、并让它们俯首听命。然而在冰与火之歌开场之前四百年，末日降临了瓦 雷利亚， 那个城邦一夜之间覆灭， 从此强盛的瓦雷利亚帝国分崩离析， 纠纷四起、 野蛮愚昧， 战乱开始。 维斯特洛由于处在狭窄海洋彼岸而逃过了接踵而至的混乱里最糟糕的部分。 在那时曾经 有过的数百个王国中只有七个王国存留下来——但它们也不可能坚持多久了。 伊耿· 坦格利 安（Aegon Targaryen） ，一位失落瓦雷利亚的后裔，带着一小支军队、他的两个妹妹（同时 也是他的两个妻子） 和三条巨龙在黑水河的入海口登陆。 在龙背上伊耿和他的妹妹们取得了 一场又一场战斗的胜利，靠着火焰、宝剑和谈判制服了维斯特洛大陆上七大王国中的六个。 这位征服者收集起被打败的敌手们那些熔化扭曲的兵刃， 用它们铸造了一个恐怖又高大的带 刺王座：铁王座。坐在那王座上他从此以伊耿一世，安达尔人、罗伊拿人和先民之王，七国 君主的名义来统治。 由伊耿和他的妹妹们奠定的王朝持续了将近三百年。 另一位坦格利安王， （Daeron） 戴伦 二世，后来把多恩并入了版图，把整片维斯特洛大陆置于一位统治者之下。他是靠联姻而非...
