The SA Novel Beans is a very comfortable, clean, and good environment to enjoy snack as well as literature. It has...

...TATTOO MANIA! (An A-Z of Flash Tattoos) A proposed book illustration and its promotion A Thesis presented to the College of Fine Arts and Design UNIVERSITY OF SANTO TOMAS In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree of Bachelor of Fine Arts Major in Advertising By Ma. Minerva Minnehaha V. Capco INTRODUCTION Although our country still remains conservative as compared to the West, the prevalence of Skin Art here in the Philippines is still unstoppable. Filipinos of the latest generations have gradually started opening up to embrace a whole new subculture---a subculture that is more experimental with art, music and sports. Crews and crews of Graffiti artists as well as Skaters are flourishing, Local bands are reaching new heights, and of course, the Industry of Tattooing is growing by the minute. The word tattoo was said to have two major derivations. From the Polynesian word “Ta” which means “to strike something” and from the Tahitian word “Tatau” which means “to mark something”. Archaeologists across the globe have unearthed preserved corpses and mummies that are tattooed. These mummies are said to have lived thousands of years ago, and most of the bodies bore tattoos that signify their cultures, ranks and beliefs. According to research, tattooing has been in activity to many countries such as Japan, Egypt, China, Polynesia, New Zealand, Indonesia, India, Thailand, Africa, Ancient Greece and Rome, America...

...Memorandum To: Head of Financial and Internal Control From: Group Learning Team A Date: 10/13/2014 Re: Challenges Communicating Accounting Changes The issuance of SAS No. 112 in 2006 and SAS No. 115 in 2009 by the AICPA created the need to communicate significant audit procedure changes to our clients, as well as to our own firm accountants. SAS No. 115 supersedes SAS No. 112. Due to SAS No. 115, significant changes need to take place in order to comply with the new accounting principles. Specifically, internal company controls have become a major focus of the standard audit procedures. Each of the three groups experienced certain challenges regarding the requirements of the new directive. Specifically: 1- Firm Accountants - The new audit requirements has compelled our audit staff to redesign our traditional procedures on issues outside the financial statements. Our staff maintains a high competency regarding the financial statements themselves, but the requirement to review company financial controls and procedures has significantly changes and requires us to reinforce our staff training as many of the younger staff are confused. The younger staff has little experience with how companies run operationally, and they are now being required to judge the quality of these operations. A series of training regarding best practice financial controls is recommended to bolster the staff's ability to complete the audits per the new directive. 2- Clients - The new...

...Harvard Business School 8-489-046 Rev. May 31, 2001 Jan Carlzon In June 1974, at the age of 32, I sat down behind the desk in the president’s office of Vingresor, a subsidiary of the Scandinavian Airlines System that assembles and sells vacation package tours. I’d been selected president after only six years of working life. I had authority over 1,400 employees, many of them roughly the same age as I. My qualifications were no better than anyone else’s, and there was no obvious reason for making me president. I was afraid—afraid that I wouldn’t be accepted and afraid that I would fail. I had taken over at Vingresor during troubled times. The 1973-1974 oil crisis had escalated air travel prices so much that passengers shied away from charter trips. It was our job to make Vingresor profitable again. We didn’t have many options. The main functions of a tour operator like Vingresor are to contract for flights and hotels and set up a service section at the travel resort that organizes excursions and activities. Then all these pieces are packaged together for the customer to purchase. The operator’s profit is to a great extent a question of cost: the more money invested throughout the various stages of assembling the package, the smaller the profit margin and the greater the chances of losing money. The less invested, the less the risk. In a sagging market, most product-oriented executives would have cut back on service. But this would only bring in less revenue, creating an...

...Introduction Country Background “The Maldive Islands, is an island nation in the Indian Ocean formed by a double chain of twenty-six atolls. It stands in the Laccadive Sea, about 700 kilometres (430 mi) south-west of Sri Lanka and 400 kilometres (250 mi) south-west of India. Being one of the world's poorest developing countries, it is threatened by global warming because of its very low elevation. The main natural resources are fisheries and a marine environment conducive to tourism. The other constraints it faces are small and widely dispersed island communities, limited skilled human resources, and rapid population growth. Maldives population of 313,920 (2010) inhabits 200 of its 1,192 islands. Maldives' capital and largest city Malé had a population of 103,693 in 2006. It is also one of the Administrative divisions of the Maldives. Traditionally it was the King's Island where the ancient Maldives Royal dynasties were enthroned.” (CountryStudies.us Library of Congress) http://countrystudies.us/maldives/6.htm Determinants of Culture Geography The Maldives lies in two rows of atolls in the Indian Ocean, just across the equator. The country is made up of 1,190 coral islands formed around 26 natural ring-like atolls, spread over 90,000 square kilometers. Ninety-nine percent of the Maldives is made up of sea. The people of the islands are widely dispersed across the atolls, with about 200 inhabited islands. About 90 islands are developed as tourist resort and the rest are...

...Scott Perreault December 5, 2012 Assimilation or Humiliation In “The School Days of an Indian Girl” written by Zitkala Sa, we are thrust into the issues confronting the Native American population. White European culture was the controlling force in this era of misunderstanding and ethnocentricity. They felt threatened by a culture they did not understand, and so in response and a need to alleviate the pain of their insecurity, they required that the young Native American be assimilated into the ways of the White. The narrator who is immersed in this unreal reality is forced to submit, to resist is futile. The innocent girl from the reservation becomes a success story to the white man, but in doing so is alienated from family. The dreamlike excitement of the train journey to the school would soon become a nightmare of sorts for her and her companions. It took very little time to discover that this was not her land, and her habitation here only aroused suspicion and mistrust. Sa writes, “I had arrived in the land of rosy skies, but I was not happy, as I had thought I should be” (Zitkala Sa, 1140). It is evident here that although the landscape is quite appealing and pleasant to the senses, she realizes that beauty is skin deep, and what lies beneath is an affront to her. For her everything is foreign; no sense of familiarity to envelop her, but her spirit did stay intact. From time to time, her anger exuded the rebellious spirit within. “With fire in my heart, I took the...

...The morphology and semantics of Filipino Language spoken by the youth today lingo in Angono, Binangonan, Taytay and Cainta. Related Literature The number of homosexuals in the Philippines continuous to grow and they are in the mainstream of about almost everything. Gays are creative and talented. Even the language that they are using cannot be simply overlooked at. Using their creativity and wit, they were able to make the language much more colorful and meaningful. Now a days, gay lingo is no longer exclusive to homosexuals but slowly accepted by the Philippine Community. Yes, it has been accepted in the past recent years. In the talk show ‘Katok mga Misis!’ of Giovanni Calvo and Ali Sotto. On their segment ‘word of the day’ they feature a gay word which became a household word in the Eighties. The coining of the word ‘badaf’ which means babae dafat and ma at pa for the contracted malay ko at pakialam ko (Ladlad 2, pp.42, 23). Another example of variety show which showcase our openness for the Homosexual is ‘It’s ShowTime’ in ABS-CBN, with one of the hosts, Vice Ganda. (https://ph.news.yahoo.com/vice-ganda-slang-dictionary-083641238.html) There is his invention of distinct and initially perplexing words to add to the "gay lingo." These have eventually been picked up not only by other stars themselves but also by normal Netizens and rabid showbiz fans in their daily conversations. Sample words are: “Shunga" While it has been a term that's already been widely used long...

...The Fraud Triangle Abstract In 2002 SAS No. 99, Consideration of Fraud in a Financial Statement Audit describes the difference between material misstatements due to errors and intentional fraud and defines two types of intentional fraud: fraudulent financial reporting and misappropriation of assets. SAS No. 99 also introduced D. R. Cressey’s theory of the fraud triangle which is so named because it consists of three conditions that are generally present when fraud occurs: incentive/pressure, opportunity, and attitude/rationalization. Introduction This paper reflects on SAS No. 99 to describe the difference between material misstatements due to errors and intentional fraud which includes fraudulent financial reporting and misappropriation of assets. It also describes the fraud triangle theory proposed by D. R. Cressey. Think back to when you were in elementary school during fire safety week when the fire department would come and visit. Do you recall the fireman explaining what can be referred to as the fire triangle? That is, the description of what is necessary for fire to exist and continue. In order to create fire you need three things: fuel, oxygen, and heat. To put out (or prevent) the fire you would need to remove one of those three sides to the triangle. You could stop the fire by removing either the fuel, oxygen, or heat. This is a simple analogy for the fraud triangle. Just as there are three sides to the fire triangle there are three sides to...

...represents an intangible asset that may significantly influence future firm performance. In 2014, three of those companies consisted of Google, SAS, and the Boston Consulting Group. These three companies find motivational ways to boost employee motivation and foster group cohesiveness. Google holds the number one spot for best workplace and for good reason. Google currently employs over 42,000 employees (Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For, 2014). Google gives employees plenty of options when it comes to choosing a team from engineering design to sales operations. Whether building products, growing businesses or helping to keep Google going, we do cool stuff that matters (Google Teams and Roles, 2014). According to Lush (2012), the group is cohesive because members like and are attracted to one another. Some major sources include member similarity and member attractiveness. The more choices an employee has about where they are placed in a company the more motivated they become. When employees are motivated it will help foster group cohesiveness. The second spot for best workplace has been granted to SAS. SAS employs a little over 6,500 employees with a growth rate of 3.6%. We believe in stimulating work, an empowering management philosophy where you are encouraged to take risks and an inspiring work place where creativity thrives ( SAS Careers, 2014). Employees of the software developer use the services of its onsite health center, which is also open to family members. The...

...Greenwashing According to Paetzold,(2010) greenwashing can be described as when you are trying to convince people that you are doing something good for the environment by being involved in small environmentally friendly initiatives, which in some cases can be used to hide environmental damage you may be causing. In this essay I will extend on greenwashing, supporting the definition. I will explain the reason a company may commit greenwashing, using a lot of TerraChoices’ ideas about greenwashing for support. I will also analyse the different forms (the sins) of greenwashing, supporting these ideas with examples of some of these sins being committed by various companies. Concluding the main body of my essay I will include some various ways greenwashing is attempting to be addressed, in particular by the federal trade commission with the green guide. According to TerraChoice (2010) there was a growth of 79% between 2008 and 2009 green products. With green marketing increasing, greenwashing is also increasing. Lane (2013, p.168) states greenwashing can be described as making false or misleading claims regarding purportedly friendly products, services or practices. As a result to the increase in knowledge of climate change and a range of other environmental issues consumers demand that products are more environmentally friendly and are sustainable. This has led to the increase of businesses to engage in greenwashing, or falsely advertising their products. The reason that greenwashing...

...Olivia Blankenship Dr. Lawrence Introduction to Humanities 7 July 2014 Cleopatra Hardly any personalities from the Hellenistic period (323 BC – 31 BC) are as renowned as Cleopatra VII (69 BC – 30 BC), the Egyptian queen. The focus of a wide array of Western historical texts, music, poems, literature, and arts, Cleopatra has been widely portrayed as a Queen who ruled her subjects and her Roman lovers through sex and gender. Despite such portrayals, very little is known about Cleopatra and there are doubts among historians that such accounts are an inaccurate depiction of Cleopatra. This paper will research studies on Cleopatra to determine whether the accounts of her ruling through sexual liaisons are accurate or they are propaganda developed to tarnish her impeccable reputation. The argument among scholars is that most of the accounts that currently depict Cleopatra VII as a Queen who used sex and gender to rule are erroneous. Roller argues that those accounts are the consequence of a perverse male-dominated historiography out to depict her as an extension of men in her life (2). According to Roller, modern and ancient male-dominated historiographies betray their chauvinistic attitudes towards Cleopatra in the manner in which they portray her primary accomplishments as the destruction of her male lovers (2). Such portrayals were necessary because of their effectiveness in discrediting Cleopatra’s achievements. Roller and Salisbury’s studies...

...PHILIPPINE LITERATURE Philippine literature is the body of works, both oral and written, that Filipinos, whether native, naturalized, or foreign born, have created about the experience of people living in or relating to Philippine society. It is composed or written in any of the Philippine languages, in Spanish and in English, and in Chinese as well. Philippine literature may be produced in the capital city of Manila and in the different urban centers and rural outposts, even in foreign lands where descendants of Filipino migrants use English or any of the languages of the Philippines to create works that tell about their lives and aspirations. The forms used by Filipino authors may be indigenous or borrowed from other cultures, and these may range from popular pieces addressed to mass audiences to highly sophisticated works intended for the intellectual elite. Having gone through two colonial regimes, the Philippines has manifested the cultural influences of the Spanish and American colonial powers in its literary production. Works may be grouped according to the dominant tradition or traditions operative in them. The first grouping belongs to the ethnic tradition, which comprises oral lore identifiably precolonial in provenance and works that circulate within contemporary communities of tribal Filipinos, or among lowland Filipinos that have maintained their links with the culture of their non-Islamic or non-Christian ancestors. The second grouping consists of works that show...
