...1) What problems occurred when Wolf Peak upgraded from QuickBooks to a new accounting software package? How could these problems have been avoided? These problems could have been avoided if when they made the initial decision for replacement of QuickBooks, they had sought the advised of a finance person before the change was made. Traditional quick books was user friendly for the staff, however, the newly implemented accounting system was more sophisticated and complicated accounting system than what everyone was used to. Employees were unable to extract financial or operational data needed to make critical business decisions. As a result of this upgrade, Wolf Peak International experienced several problems stemming from the implementation of this software; some of them are listed below: Very complicated and hard to learn, not user friendly. Time consuming and sophisticated. Very expensive I think the first step in avoiding these problems, is before deciding to choose the software first being sure about the accounting needs of the organization from detail discussions and expert advice. It’s very important to know your needs and requirements in order to choose the best product, so they should have understand the functionality of the software first and made it clear to everybody using it, so that problems in execution wouldn’t appear. They could have developed the time frame with clear chain and pattern of doing things so that it wouldn’t have taken much time for execution...

Such myths and legends have portrayed the wolf as a threat to human existence. Feared as cold-blooded killers, they were hated and persecuted. Wolves were not merely shot and killed; they were tortured as well. In what was believed to be a battle between good and evil, wolves were poisoned, drawn and quartered, doused with gasoline and set on fire, and, in some cases, left with their mouths wired shut to starve (Begley 53). Convinced that they were a problem to be solved, U.S. citizens gradually eradicated gray wolves from the lower 48 states over a period of 25 years. Today many people are convinced that the elimination of the gray wolf was not only an error, but also a detriment to the quality of life in this country. There has been a public outcry to rectify the situation created by the ignorance of our ancestors. However, in seeking to address a situation created by the human compulsion to control nature, it is crucial to discern how much human interference is necessary. Human control must be tempered by respect and restraint...

...Endangered: Understanding Wolves Roxanne Green Devry University ENGL135 Cynthia Pengilly April 10, 2011 Abstract Understanding the wolf and their ways of life is the key to saving these animals from extinction. Throughout time people have killed wolves out of fear, because they want their fur, or because they have lost livestock to a wolf. Fear comes from not knowing, not understanding the wolf and their life. Loss of livestock happens because people take over the wolves land and territory, killing off the wolf’s prey and introducing livestock. By education people can become familiar with the ways of the wolf and help this very important animal from becoming extinct. Endangered: Understanding Wolves The beauty of a wolf is breath taking; they are fascinating creatures that will set fear in most people. They have been the center of attention in myths, legends, and folklores creating a relationship that is not only ancient but complex between humans and the wolf. Wolves are social predators that live in families and they develop packing orders. The wolf is the largest member of the canine family. At one time they lived in large areas in North American, Europe, and Asia. The most common threat and source of death for the wolf has been people. Over time they have been hunted so much that they are now near extinction. Wolves are feared animals; they are misunderstood, people want their fur, and complaints of livestock being killed by wolves are leading these animals to...

...4790642 Jungle Book 24/11/06 11:45 Page i THE JUNGLE BOOK In the hills of Southern India a baby lies warm and safe in a cave. He lies among wolf-cubs, next to Mother Wolf’s side, and he is not afraid. Outside the cave Shere Khan, the man-eating tiger, roars angrily, wanting to kill. ‘No!’ says Mother Wolf. ‘The man’s cub belongs to me. He will live, to run with the other wolves, to be my son. And I will call him Mowgli.’ The years pass, and Mowgli the man’s cub grows up with the wolves. He learns the Law of the Jungle from his teachers, Baloo the old brown bear and Bagheera the black panther. He has many adventures, and many friends among the animals of the jungle. But he still has an enemy. Shere Khan the tiger has not forgotten. He waits for the day when he can catch the man’s cub – and kill him. 4790642 Jungle Book 24/11/06 11:45 Page ii 4790642 Jungle Book 24/11/06 11:45 Page iii OXFORD BOOKWORMS LIBRARY Classics The Jungle Book Stage 2 (700 headwords) Series Editor: Jennifer Bassett Founder Editor: Tricia Hedge Activities Editors: Jennifer Bassett and Alison Baxter 4790642 Jungle Book 24/11/06 11:45 Page iv 4790642 Jungle Book 13/1/07 07:50 Page v RUDYARD KIPLING The Jungle Book Retold by Ralph Mowat Illustrated by Kanako Damerum and Yuzuru Takasaki OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS 4790642 Jungle Book 24/11/06 11:45 Page vi Great Clarendon Street, Oxford ox2 6dp Oxford University...

...Springboard Activity One Quote from book and Warm-Up Students will read this quote on the smart board and answer the following questions: How do you feel about the nurse being a wolf? What do you think about people being wolfs in everyday life? "This world ... belongs to the strong, my friend! The ritual of our existence is based on the strong getting stronger by devouring the weak. We must face up to this. No more than right that it should be this way. We must learn to accept it as a law of the natural world. The rabbits accept their role in the ritual and recognize the wolf as the strong. In defense, the rabbit becomes sly and frightened and elusive and he digs holes and hides when the wolf is about. And he endures, he goes on. He knows his place. He most certainly doesn't challenge the wolf to combat. Now, would that be wise? Would it?" He [Harding] lets go McMurphy's hand and leans back and crosses his legs, takes another long pull off the cigarette. He pulls the cigarette from his thin crack of a smile, and the laugh starts up again-eee-eee-eee, like a nail coming out of a plank. "Mr. McMurphy ... my friend ... I'm not a chicken, I'm a rabbit. The doctor is a rabbit. Cheswick there is a rabbit. Billy Bibbit is a rabbit. All of us in here are rabbits of varying ages and degrees, hippity-hopping through our Walt Disney world. Oh, don't misunderstand me, we're not in here because we are rabbits-we'd be rabbits wherever we were-we're all in here because we can't adjust...

...Thompson says, "the net seems to be doing is chipping away the capacity for concentration and contemplation, that the mind now expects to take in information the internet distributes it; in a swiftly moving stream of particles." He uses for an example, "Once I was a scuba diver in the sea of words. Now I zip along the surface like a guy on a Jet Ski." The reason he says this is because why searching the internet we tend to just skim from site to site and to never return back to the same site. Carr says that he is not the only one, that when he mention his reading to his friends, many say they are having the similar problems. One of his friends, Scott Karp states that, " he has stopped reading books altogether. Karp said in college he read a lot of books, but what happen is that he started to think about what if he did all his reading...

...JUNGLE BOOK by Rudyard Kipling The stories of Jungle Book are stories told in the third person by a narrator, as one might tell bedtime stories to children. Only in "The White Seal" and "Servants of the Queen," is the narrator actually mentioned, and then he is not identified. The reader gets the sense of a wise older narrator, one who is intimately familiar with Colonial Indian and the jungle therein, but not of it, as a British colonial officer would be. The narrator, for the most part, is impartial and allows the stories' characters to tell the story. Only occasionally does he interject, such as at the end of "Tiger, Tiger," when he tells us that the rest of Mowgli's story is a story for grownups. This is also true at the beginning of the "White Seal," where the narrator tells us of the winter wren that originally told him the story. The narrator does not share his opinion of the story and the characters' actions. The reader is left to draw his own conclusion. Kipling is a product of his 19th century British colonial experiences, and the British/ Native and Indian caste class differences are alluded to in several of the stories. In "Toomai of the Elephants," the reader is told that Big Toomai works for the government, but it is to Petersen Sahib, a white man, that he reports. Additionally, whereas Petersen's interaction with the boy, Little Toomai, is undoubtedly well meant, it still carries a vaguely condescending tone. This difference is also evident in "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi...

...invested large sums of money and hours into finding software to specifically meet the needs that they were looking for as an SME. The owner, Kurt Daems as noted in the book by the CFO, Ron Schwab, “was fed up he finally came to me and said he was ready to look at a SAP software alternative that he had heard about”.(p.115) This led to the discovery of a company called JourneyTEAM, which was a local SAP service partner.(p.115) If I was opening a SME similar to the size of Wolf Peak, I would defiantly look at SAP Business One software to manage the accounting for my business. The software is specifically designed for SMEs as stated in the case study, and it automates all of the critical operations of the company including sales, finance, purchasing, and inventory along with many other important aspects of running a company. The text later stated that Wolf Peak had spent several thousand dollars and months of work to generate four or five reports that the new software was able to generate in an afternoon.(p.115) It is also said to be fairly affordable and promises to offer rapid return on investment. All of the different aspects of the software seem very user friendly and Schwab mentions on page 116 that, “it’s the best accounting program he has ever worked with” and with the XL Reporter tool he can “build reports on the fly”. In closing, I feel as though the SAP software would be a perfect fit for any SME company, based on its affordability, user friendly operation, efficiency...

...A Request to Die PHI200: Mind and Machine (GSI1116I) April 25, 2011 A Request to Die Susan M. Wolf (2008) wrote a very touching article (p.23-26) regarding the pain and suffering her father endured during his final days of battling with several sicknesses. Not only did she have to see her father in pain and getting weaker and weaker, she now had to deal with him verbally expressing the desire to let him die. The love she felt for her father was so strong that she wanted to grant him this final wish, but also wanted to ensure he would not suffer from this and be as comfortable as possible. Due to his health rapidly deteriorating and he was in more pain every day, she began to seek assistance from the many hospitals he sought care in to help end her father’s suffering. This will be a brief discussion of the issue of ethics regarding physician-assisted suicide, her final consensus to this matter being interpreted as a deontological view verses my own view being the utilitarian view. I would also like to state that I do agree with Susan Wolf’s attempts to locate hospital officials to try and let her father die as he wished, but I do not agree with her final decision that she is still against legalizing physician-assisted suicides. Susan M. Wolf did extensive research on the subject of physician-assisted suicides and her stance of being against the legalizing of it is very clear. While going through her own personal tragedy with her dying father, she was forced to rethink...

...Lone Wolf Terrorism Introduction Problem background and significance In the United States terrorism incidents such as the attack in 1995 in Oklahoma by Timothy McVeigh and the September 11th attack in 2001, have led to the realization that lone wolf terrorism posses a grave threat to the safety of the public. Terrorism analysts and law enforcement authorities have insisted that it is hard to spot lone terrorists before they strike and this is of great threat to the security of a nation. From FBI information it is evident that lone terrorism trends indicate that it is an ongoing risk both in side the United States and outside the country (Risen & Johnston, 2003) In 2003 the director of the FBI stated that there was an increased threat from persons who are affiliated or sympathetic with the Al Qaeda and they act without having any conspiracies surrounding them or external support. Scholars in the field of terrorism have in the past concentrated on the how terrorist groups work so as to explain how individuals work. The general view of terrorism is that it is a group activity which is mainly influenced by leaders training, recruitment, obedience and conformity, solidarity and moral disengagement. Due to the imbalance that exists between the focus by scholars on terrorism that is group based on one hand and apparent threat posed by lone wolf terrorist on the other hand, necessitates the empirical and conceptual analysis of lone wolf terrorism so as to establish a good understanding...

...Transformation is a central concern when studying 'The Bloody Chamber' and 'The World's Wife'. How far would you agree with this observation? Transformation is a prominent theme in the 'The Bloody Chamber' and 'The World's Wife', with the transforming beast, the changing of man’s ideal of perfection and finally physical transformation occurring throughout both volumes. These 'transformations' are brought about via the chains of a patriarchal society which are imposed upon the female protagonists which causes them to have to leave their assumed role in society and assume a more independent and masculine role. Both authors use revisionism throughout their tales so as to allow both their feministic values to be expressed and to allow the female narrative voice to be heard and thus emphasise the sense of female empowerment and independence which permeates both volumes. As Sarah Gamble writes, both writers use the fairy tale as a vehicle for the perpetuation of female oppression in culture.[1] Transformation is a traditional theme of the fairy-tale with it being a key aspect of Carter's 'Cat tales.' In 'The Courtship of Mr Lyon', the love of Beauty is a catalyst for the metamorphosis of Mr Lyon which causes a transformation from his strong bestial qualities with his “unkempt” looks and his “rough, hot, stiff stubble” into the stereotype of the gentleman who walks calmly in the garden with his wife. Her enduring love for Mr Lyon develops him from the “leonine apparition” into...
