...John Specht 2/22/14 Film Clerks Clerks written and directed by Kevin Smith. First off I picked a film made by Kevin Smith mainly because he is my favorite writer and director. He also makes it seem like anyone can become a film maker after Clerks was made and it was picked up by Miramax and it was only made for less than twenty eight thousand dollars. This was Kevin Smiths first film in which then several others has followed. Clerks main plot line is two convince store clerks who are in their twenties that go through their day to day lives while talking about their past and future. This movie is based on actual experience of Kevin Smith and is actually filmed in the same store in which he worked in. The whole movie is shot in black and white. You would think it is because of some mood or such Kevin Smith was trying to get. However though, the decision to film the whole movie in black and white was made simply because of the lighting that was in the store as they filmed the movie was interfering with the camera and so he decided to do it all in black and white since it was a lot cheaper than getting extra equipment to make the lighting just right. The two main charters names is Dante and Randal. Dante runs the actual store and Randal runs the video store who is Dante’s best friend. Dante’s charter is based on Kevin Smith and Randal is based on his long time friend from childhood Bryan Johnson. Some of the support charters include Dante’s current girlfriend...

...Case 11-18 1. Would you say this is a computer crime? Why or why not? Yes it is a computer crime. There is manipulation of data to dishonestly obtain money. Even though the fraud is happening over the phone it is using the lack of updated computer data to dishonestly obtain money. 2. What internal controls would you recommend that would enable the resort’s managers to prevent such offenses? First, in order to get paid, Travel Agents must turn in proof that they are authorized agents. A list will be completed and maintained starting with all new business. Just by saying we are updating our records and now need proof you are an authorized agent is not an unreasonable request. If there is a license that expires, that license data must be kept on file and have some type of ERP automated pop up that notifies that a license is about to expire and an updated license is required. I would also call a meeting and explain to all employees as of now, if an employee books a reservation when they are not authorized agents, they will be fired and will be prosecuted to fullest extent possible. This policy alone will detour employees from attempting taking advantage of the system. Once the first employee is caught, make it public and follow through with the termination and charges against them. Also, not updating the Authorized Travel Agent list is unacceptable and punishable by termination (after a reasonable disciplinary actions such as verbal warnings have been given...

...Lori Cook, manager of the Winter Park Hotel, is considering how to restructure the front desk to reach an optimum level of staff efficiency and guest service. At present, the hotel has five clerks on duty, each with a separate waiting line, during peak check-in time of 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Observation of arrivals during this period shows that an average of 90 guests arrive each hour (although there is no upward limit on the number that could arrive at any given time). It takes an average of 3 minutes for the front-desk to register each guest. Ms. Cook is considering three plans for improving guest service by reducing the length of time that guests spend waiting in line. The first proposal would designate one employee as a quick-service clerk for guests registering under corporate accounts, a market segment that fills about 30% of all occupied rooms. Because corporate guests are preregistered, their registration takes just 2 minutes. With these guests separated from the rest of the clientele, the average time for registering a typical guest would climb to 3.4 minutes. Under this plan, non-corporate guests would choose any of the remaining four lines. The second plan is to implement a single-line system. All guests could form a single waiting line to be served by whichever of five clerks became available. This option would require sufficient lobby...

Landslide occur in various areas of the United States, it is more common near mountains or along the coastlines. This essay will examine what a landslide is, it’s functions and the different characteristics of a landslide. The geologic principles related to cause a landslide could be caused by several things. A landslide is a geologic hazard that affects various areas throughout the United States, especially near Rocky Mountains or near the coastline. The stress of a slope can create a landslide this includes mixture of soil and rock known as debris. Many of these landslides could be triggered by a lot of rain, snowmelt, and change in the ground level of water. Thus, there are two types of landslides: rotational slide and translations. However there are five different types of flow: block slide, fall, debris avalanche, earthflow, debris flow, and creep (Landslide hazard information, 2004, pg. 1). Landslide hazard information (2004) indicates, slopes consumed with a large amount of water can cause a landslide especially if the area had an intense amount of melting snow. Another way for a landslide to occur is when it feels a moderate vibration of the earthquake...

...Beside Audit Planning, Collection of audit evidence, Discussion of Audit Draft, Communication of Audit results. The step forgotten in the audit process is: Evaluation of Audit Evidence The team should evaluate the evidences collected against the initial benchmark set in the planning stage. This will be met by cross examining the findings against the set standards.

The evidence should be appropriate to enhance the quality of audit. Evaluation is the key function that connects the past to the future—that feeds lessons from actual experiences back into the programming and decisions for future actions. It is the Element that “closes the circuit” and permits progress to be made.1 Of course, it is only one such element. To quote from Petrei (1998, p. 393): “Evaluation should be used to complement the existing procedures and not as a process substitute .It should be used to improve efficiency in the system. Audit evaluation should provide a comparison of the actual vs the findings, goals and objectives of the AIS. The goal of audit evaluation is to improve decision-making and resource allocation by providing reliable data about the effects of policies and programs. For this reason, program evaluations of high quality should be encouraged, valued, and used by those responsible for managing the budget...
