...from the branches located outside Metro Manila are sent to the Manila Head Office through passenger buses every other day while reports from Metro Manila branches are received daily. 2. Difficulty of ascertaining the true level of branch revenues: During monthly meetings, Ms. Pimentel provides top management with past sales and expenses data for the last five years together with forecasted conditions for the coming year. Some branches exceed the sales budget while some are always below the forecast. Ms. Pimentel, the chief accountant, attributes negative sales variances partly to unrecorded sales and tampering of official receipts. Unrecorded sales or receipts may be done in several ways, examples: a. To provide repair service without the issuance of official receipts. b. To use spare parts of a “good” frame when servicing an order for repair instead of taking the part form the spare parts inventory. The frame from which the part is taken is later on declared as defective. c. The branch staff services orders from customers using the company’s own suppliers. 3. Connivance: Ms. Pimentel believes that this practice implies that personnel at the branches connive with each other in not reportin some revenues for the branch. Statement of the problem: In view of these cases, Ms. Pimentel is proposing to top management that a review of the company’s internal control system be made. Mr. Francisco, the VP for Finance, however, thinks that there is nothing...

...Carlisle IT Part Number Selection Structure Phillip Reynolds PRG/211 Novermber 5, 2012 Jack Warner Carlisle IT Selection Structure in Part Selection Module In order to create a successful program the importance of the analysis and design stages of the program development cycle cannot be overstated. After an in depth look at the problem and analysis of the problem it has led to the first stages of product design. The project is on schedule and an example of the programs functions and use of control structures will be introduced as we discuss the program updates. Part Number Input Module One of the major functions of the program will not only be footage production, which will be discussed in later program development reports but also part number tracking. Tracking what part number is ran within each run will provide a historical database for analysis providing improved inventory control procedures. The data will be tracked as currently tracked on paper but stored digitally into a database. This process can be realized within the program by the utilization of control structures and iteration control structures. Control Structures As discussed within (Venit & Drake, 2011) a selection control structure gives a computer the ability to take a defensive stance against incorrect data, which forces users to enter valid data as the input. Selection control structures additionally offer users the ability to make a decision within a...

...East Africa. It has to be at least 2.3 million years in the past. Its definatly a lot colder than in the future. The air feels really dry as if there was no moisture. Looking around I see the savanna luscious with vegetation. I spot a man or what looks like a man walking towards a group of trees holding what appears to be some sort of hammer or club. I slowly approach him and start to follow him and I discover a small village of sorts. This must be where the Homo erectus lives. The adults are roughly five to six feet tall but they have narrow hips. However they’re legs were denser. They’re heads have a less spherical and more elongated shape and suggest lower mental capacity. Their weight ranges from 88 to 150 pounds. I have noticed that they also have sweat glands meaning that they are able to cool themselves down in hot weather. They were hunter-gatherers or foragers. They lived in groups and worked together to survive. The males would typically go hunt while the females would gather vegetation like fruits and nuts and would process the meats that were gathered earlier. The females would also take great care in their week and young members. This would ensure optimal survival for their species... They would live in crudely made huts out of large tree branches. Each of the branches would be stuck into the ground and surrounded by rocks to prevent them from moving. Each of these huts were roughly tent shaped... I follow a couple of the males that are going hunting...

...Case 10: Steele Enterprises Main Problem: Constant fighting between Richard Leeman, Chief of Chemical Branch Public Relations and Donna Olson, Chief of Mechanical Branch Public Relations. Facts of the Case: 1. Olson and her team were tasked to take charge of the PR Dinner and she was claiming that Leeman suddenly took over the arrangements, without any directive from their boss, for the dinner which infuriated Olson. 2. Leeman was claiming that if it was not for him, the company would have to pay $4,000 on top of the $12,000 budget. He took action when he saw the cost sheet of the catering manager amounting to $16,500. 3. With the constant fighting, it has been brought to the attention of the Regional Manager, Alfred Gamble and kidded that the type of competition should be fierce in the PR business. 4. Documented cases, seven to be in particular, between Leeman and Olson. Alternative Solutions: 1. Getting rid of either Leeman or Olson. PROS: * This MIGHT reduce the constant bickering between the two branches. CONS: * Losing one of the most talented employees would be a great adjustment for the company. It might also take time before they can replace a skilled employee. * This might also create more conflict between the two groups but the main problem would be ‘Who should the company dismiss? And for what grounds?’ It might be unfair for the other party. 2. Trading either Leeman or Olson for Bob Lyons at the Central Region Office at St. Louis. ...

...Nature Essay As I sit outside I feel all of my troubles leaving me. I have no stress. There is nothing on my mind. I am completely relaxed. I feel as if everything around me has stopped, and I have all the time in the world. I am at one with myself. I lift my head up and I look upon a sea of green grass. I then realize that the sky is a beautiful shade of blue, and there is not a cloud in sight. I can feel the sun's rays reaching out, and warming me to a perfect temperature. As I scan the tranquil scene in front of me, I begin to gaze upon a massive tree. The tree which I am looking at is very distinguished. This tree is absolutely massive. As I look at the tree, I start to see that are so many different grooves and markings on it. I examine each groove and marking, and I start to become lost while looking at it. As I continue up the tree, I notice all of the branches protruding out from the trunk out of the tree. I then start to examine the leaves on the branches. I have never studied a tree before, but now I understand that there are so many things going on with a tree that are not apparent from a distance. As I gaze upon the magnificent tree, I notice a squirrel on one of the branches. The squirrel had a beautiful, brown coat of fur with a white belly. It had little, fat cheeks, tiny ears, and dark brown eyes. The squirrel's tail was standing straight up. This squirrel seemed very aware of its' surroundings. Suddenly, the squirrel runs down the trunk of the tree...

...Just a piece of thought here after I browsed through a chat conversation where one important figure of Norkis whom I personally admired and a good friend of mine for his being a hardworking man has raised concerns on the fact that there have been no single Luzon branch landing the latest Top 10 Sales Performing branches in the national ranking! It was a concern coming from his heart, indeed! Considering the vast areas of Luzon and the economic profile of the same, it would be quite astonishing indeed why not any branch can land to the national ranking these days!!! Oh my God, if I am in the position of that head who presently handles the Luzon sales I would rather relinquish my command to somebody of substance who can help bring a significant growth to Luzon Sales...I would rather step down after all, you are ridiculously ineffective anymore! Don't bring the whole group down with your bad attitude and envious personality! I can humbly remember landing in Top 6 if im not mistaken just a month after I handled the entire of Palawan District and the first time ever for any Luzon District to appear on that elite national ranking of Haojue Philippines with Cavite area below us that time... Ironically, it was that same Ranking which caused him raging anger from within himself and texted messages to the effect that he was not happy of the result! It was also the same reason I decide to part ways with a heavy heart because I truly love my job before, the company and its policies, and the...

Lesson: Control structures – Notes From the website: academy.oracle.com, go through the section on “Understand IF and WHILE structures” and take notes using the questions below. A. Understand IF and WHILE structures What is a control structure? Control structures are pre-defined statements that determine the order in which programming instructions are executed. List the control structures available in Alice: • Do in order • Count • While • For each in • If • Do together • Each in together What is a conditional execution control structure? Allow you to control execution based on a condition, or a decision being made. What are the two parts to an IF control structure? If and Else. What are two facts about a WHILE control structure? • Acts like a gatekeeper to an event. • Must be true to allow the programming instructions within the loop to execute. What happens when the condition of a WHILE is false? The control structure will be skipped and execution will continue with the next programming statement following the WHILE control structure B. When to use the control structures In this chapter, and Chapter 5, we will use these control structures: • Do in order – use this when you want the actions to happen sequentially (one at a time...

...different dreams of wishes, ideas, and possibly real life experiences has one looking at this piece for an extended period of time. A faceless child sitting in a tree that seems to extend and branch out into many of the other scenes along with the words “In my Dreams” makes one begin to wonder and look more deeply into the other scenes happening in this head of dreams that seems to come to life. An unusually small baby held in the palm of a hand, some well detailed birds, a staircase that leads to an eye watching a bird or perhaps the child in the tree or even something else entirely, gives this side of the sculpture a happier feel. In other scenes one can see a clock in the background of the tree and an animal, maybe a ferret crouched, possibly ready to pounce. A circular hole cut into the upper back part of the head allows one to see through and out the other side through a square cut hole. Turning to the other side of the head brings on a more frightening feel. The overall coloring is relatively darker and the branching of the tree becomes the veins in the wings of an unnerving butterfly or moth, a house elevated by stilts with a raging fire burning out the doorway and a feather falling below. A frog hanging on to the bottom of the butterfly wing as if they were part of a tree branch with one foot on what is possibly the San Francisco Bridge. The frog is looking upward toward the square hole. Below in the water is a boat that seems to be separated in its own scene and the...

...Dwayne Bell General Manager the Inn Restaurant 1 Country Inn Road Upscale, Az.85251 August 10, 2010 Mr. R. Shaky Owner the Inn Restaurant 1 Country Inn Road Upscale, Az.85251 Dear Mr. Shaky: It has been a month since I was hired as GM of the Inn Restaurant. I am settling in well and look forward to a long prosperous relationship. I would like to take this opportunity to discuss with you some items of concern regarding the condition of the building. During this site inspection the following things caught my attention. * Old trees have grown so that their branches could become entangled in the power lines connected to the restaurant * Many of the windows have gaps possibly from the building settling * Water is not properly drained from the building. * Spider web pattern of cracks forming on the foundation. * The roof has tar paper that is pulled up in one section along with bird nests and tree branches. * There are also charred markings around the exhaust vent of the hood system. These are all potentially hazardous situations for our guest and staff. If we do not take action to fix these issues it will not only affect our bottom line but our ability to stay in business at all in this facility. The trees pose several problems. With the branches being so close to the power lines could potentially cause a fire if wind gust cause them to snap and clog up or wear down the gutter system. The roots could be clogging drains underground which could...
