...Executive Summary David Jones is an iconic Australian retailer, opened in Sydney 1838. This report considers the 2013 Annual Report and the financial performance for 2012 and 2013. The company operates in the retail trade sector with operations focussing on Department Stores (representing approximately 65% of earnings) and the associated Financial Services (representing approximately 35% of earnings). The department store sector is slowly declining as consumers move a larger portion of their household spending into online sales. Additionally, the incumbent stores (David Jones and Myer particularly) are being challenged by the arrival of well financed international competitors to the Australian market. The company has taken some strong leaps to maintain market share including building an Omni Channel capability, improvement in inventory management, reduction of its already low debt and working with suppliers to harmonising pricing. The report considers the financial performance of the company through the evaluation of financial ratios for profitability, efficiency, productivity, solvency and market performance. Overall the company currently is a profitable business with low gearing, high (but declining) sales and productive workforce.

During this same period revenues declined from $1.867bn...

... Distinguishing the difference between a cult and a religion is quite hard. Any religion that defies the standards of “mainstream” religions can be considered a cult. This could confuse some people, because most of the popular religions today started out as small religious groups that were seen as cults (Tabor, par. 7). According to Charles Clark, cults have their own unique beliefs and they often differ or challenge religions in society. They may have a leader who sees himself as the chosen one, whereas most religions praise a non-living god who is not the leader of the church. There have been many different cults over the years. Some of the more well known are Peoples Temple led by Jim Jones, Heaven’s Gate led by Marshall Applewhite, and the Branch Davidians led by David Koresh. These cults are remembered more often because of the legacy they left behind. Each of these cults demonstrated a mass suicide, killing some and even all of their followers. The techniques used for the suicides differed, but the outcomes all had the same effect. No one knew that death would come of these groups, and it shocked the world. These suicides opened society’s eyes to the dangers that cults pose. After the news of the suicides, there were more speculations made about cults and religions in general....

...Chris Newman Michael Ritter REL124 16 December 2012 David: Hero, King and Prophet There is no doubt that King David is one of the most outstanding biblical and historical figures, who also inspired artists of all epochs to make him a hero of their work. His role was special as the second King of Israel and as a human ancestor of Jesus Christ. Thus, one can state for sure that this personality is of great importance both for Judaism and Christianity and embodies devotion to God and the idea of authority blessed by God as well. Most of information on David can be found in the Books of Samuel and Ruth. Historically, David was one of eight sons of Jesse, who in his turn descended from Judas. In the Old Testament books, it is mentioned that he was handsome, physically strong, had red hair and was an outstanding musician. He started by helping his father to care about the herd and quite succeeds in doing so. Even at a young age, he demonstrates courage as a shepherd when a lion and bear attack the herd. He conquers in the battle with beasts, for which he gains his first glory. In fact, it should be mentioned, that being a shepherd is more than a narrative element which is mentioned in the Bible. In fact, this role of David is foreshadowing his future position of Israeli ruler. In the scriptures, a shepherd is often a positive idea that implies being in charge of people. Even God has been compared to a shepherd not once like for instance in the following passage: ‘Then he blessed...

The story of the great ruler of Israel, King David, has continuously been a measuring stick by which leaders are measured and compared to.
