...also has a small pointy nose and small curved claws. The claws are blackish with dirty white bases. The owl’s habitat usually varies. They like to live in mostly wooded and forest-like areas like cemeteries and parks. The Tawny Owls almost always breed in woodlands and forests. They like to inhabit coniferous forest. The Tawny Owls are always hunting at night. They are usually quiet listening, waiting and watching for their prey. When the owls spot the animal, it swoops down, covers the prey and instantly kills it. The animals they eat are rabbits, mice, voles, earthworms, insects, beetles, birds, frogs, fish, lizards and molluses. Since the Tawny Owl is relatively a small bird, it has a number of predators. Those predators are usually dogs, cats, and foxes. But it also includes hawks, eagles, and other large birds. As far as the Tawny Owl eggs, the main predators are squirrels and rats. In conclusion, the Tawny Owl can be known as a small owl. It hunts at night. They have predators but also a long list of prey. They are very meticulous while hunting. In fact they rely on their sight and hearing to kill their prey. Bibliography Lewis, Deane. The Owl Pages. 22 July 2013. <http://www.owlpages.com/>.

...Wal-Mart customers have been complaining about its evil business practices for years. They say never trust a smiley face. Wal-Mart list of offense against humanity is a long list and where to start is a tough question to answer. Wal-Mart has a policy of discrimination but has been accused of discrimination against women, people with disabilities and minorities. Wal-Mart has been the subject of the largest class action lawsuit in US history. There were 1.6 million women employees suing Wal-Mart for gender discrimination. Women comprises that 92% of Wal-Mart cashiers while 14% of store managers. In the past on average women that were paid hourly were paid $1,100 less than men at Wal-Mart and $14,500 less than management employees. In recent years Wal-Mart agreed to pay $6.8 million to settle13 lawsuits in 11 states. The lawsuit that was filed by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission was allegedly for discrimination against people with disabilities. When did not stop with mistreating its employees with discrimination. In an interview with Fox news, Lee Scott which was Wal-Mart’s CEO said, “The truth is our wages are really competitive and they are good”. It was not bad enough that Wal-Mart treats its employees is not the worst of its misdeeds. Wal-Mart has a very long history of environmental violations. Back in 2004 Wal-Mart agreed to pay Connecticut $1.5 million in penalties for storm water violation. The Clean Water Act violation was paid $400,000 by Wal-Mart to settle...

...notwithstanding the fact that it is also promoted and advertised on a daily basis. Alcoholism can and will destroy your life, friendships, marriage and finances all in one fell swoop and in a very short period of time, depending on the individual. I have heard and often said myself that "I can handle it" or "it is under control" when in reality, alcoholism has handled and controlled me. Alcohol, in itself is a depressant, which relaxes you and more or less removes your inhibitions, letting you think or giving you the false illusion that you are in control when in fact, it has control. Being an alcoholic destroyed my life, left me with no self-esteem or self-worth. It is only by the grace of God and my will to overcome it that I am where I am today. My family did not want anything to do with me, I was basically an outcast. I had lost jobs, apartments and fell into a deep state of depression, which in turn prompted me to drink more. As far as society is concerned, well, personally, I do believe that society as a whole may promote alcoholism. Deals have been made over drinks, having wine with dinner, drinking beer while watching a live sporting event, billboard advertisements everywhere you go promoting beer and hard ciders, company functions where alcohol is served in quantities....and the list goes on.

...isn’t a black box of gut and luck, although it can sometimes feel that way, like when your home-run candidate turns out to be a wash out by Day 30 on the job. Rather, hiring is a discipline which improves with time and practice. Or put more precisely, we’ve found that hiring improves with time and practice if you deploy a very specific (and truth be told, pretty unbending) qualifications check-list. Hey, we didn’t say hiring ever got easier. That said, the check-list itself is short. It contains two flat-out must-haves, five qualities that are definitely-should-haves, and one very special quality that, while not exactly commonplace, is a total game-changer. The must-haves, perhaps not surprisingly, are high integrity and high IQ, which barely need additional comment here, except to note that both are essential to any winning organization and neither can be trained into a person. Sheer convenience or a candidate’s likeability may make you want to squint on this front. You just can’t without doing a disservice to your organization. As for the definitely-should-haves on our hiring check-list, we’ve long dubbed them “The Four Es and a P.” The first E is energy. Today, probably more than ever, stamina matters. Every person you hire, no matter where the job falls on the org chart, should be filled with vitality and intensity, able to go the...

..."The internet, in its most basic definition, is a giant network of communications. Millions upon billions of people, all broadcasting information to each other. The internet, and computers in general, have come to dominate life in the modern age. We use it to work, to shop, to learn, to debate, to entertain, and the list goes on and on and on. The internet is also currently the world’s largest and fastest growing public forum, a place to hear and to be heard. Any communication made in a public forum is protected by the First Amendment to the Constitution, which forbids Congress from “abridging the freedom of speech.†However, the Supreme Court has declared, in cases such as Miller v. California and Dennis v. United States, that certain forms of speech, such as obscenities and overt threats, are not protected by the “free-speech†umbrella and are thus not legal. Certainly the same rules apply to the internet. So should the government monitor the internet for these abuses? While the most immediate answer would be “no,†I am not sure it is the correct one. Government should monitor the internet and e-mails, but only for explicit criminal...

Masculinity is a word that describes an idea generated by the media of what it entails to be a man. According to Cohen(2001:5) “a gender is formed by shared beliefs or models of gender that majority of society accepts as appropriate”. Gender ideals are socially constructed in specific historical and cultural context and changes over time and location. As identified by Brannon (1976) being a hegemonic masculine male entails four main themes: (i) No Sissy Stuff: men must never resemble women or display stereotypical characteristics of a woman. Kimmel (2001:35) suggests that “Homophobia is a centralised principle of our cultural definition of manhood.” (ii) The Big Wheel: the ability of real men to obtain wealth, fame, success and status. Typically determined by occupation. (iii) The Sturdy Oak: manliness...

...dependency on importation for developing countries without the infrastructure or resources to mine the hydrocarbons, thus giving them weak energy security (OECD 21). An increase in investments for sustainable energy infrastructure will not only shift the reliance away from fossil fuels and generate cleaner sources, but will promote opportunities in LDC and SIDS for economic growth. As the generation of energy from renewable sources typically occurs outside of main cities in areas not easily connected to the grid, countries without much development present a unique opportunity for investors to begin building infrastructure to deliver energy in these regions. These targets take an approach to achieving the goal within the next 15 years in one fell swoop, making it...

"To turn really interesting ideas and fledging ideas into a company that can continue to innovate for years, it requires a lot of disciplines." – Steve Jobs "In three years, every product my company makes will be obsolete.

...REPORT SUMMARY Avoid the Four Perils of CRM by Darrell K. Rigby, Frederick F. Reichheld, and Phil Schefter Arun G Antony (P13111) According to the "Harvard Business Review," a full 55 percent of customer relationship management (CRM) technologies and methods do not produce results. A wide array of CRM technologies exist to help companies target new customers, collect data on existing customers and streamline the customer acquisition process. Though many of these technologies and methods tout big returns, companies considering investing in CRM need to know how to avoid the four main pitfalls of customer relationship management technologies and methods. 1. Implementing CRM before creating a Customer strategy It seems obvious that you should draw up a plan before implementing anything. Yet a surprising number of firms dive headlong into CRM without carefully working out an exact customer strategy that the technology helps the company execute. In some ways it's similar to the rush to be on the web a few years back. It was so hip and "must-do" that everyone joined in. Yet most never stopped to ask why they were doing it or what they would get out of it. As a result, few websites to this day produce much of anything. Most were poorly thought out and almost nobody visits them. Only those who understand the Web and the role it plays in overall customer strategy have mastered how to utilize it. It may well be that the same thing is happening with CRM. Companies hear that Siebel...

...Bryce Leveroos World Civ 12/8/2014 Machiavelli, Luther, Loyola: Three Names within an Era of Reformation Niccolo Machiavelli, Martin Luther, and Ignatius of Loyola were three contemporaries of the early sixteenth century, all of which had recognized a theological-political crisis in their age. In 1546 Catholicism was under siege by a new and troublesome adversary葉he Reformation. In one fell swoop, the Christian World was cleft in twain. Ignatius and Martin Luther had both been active in the Protestant Reformation, while Martin Luther had been a driving force for the Protestant Reformation, Ignatius on the other hand was the founder of the Illuminati and Jesuit Order which led the Counter-Reformation. The Jesuit Order was to become the most vile, bloody and persecuting order in the Roman Catholic church. This order was an elaborate spy system, so that no one in the order was safe. If there was any opposition, death was imminent and swift. Martin Luther had dedicated himself to the Augustinian order, devoting himself to fasting, long hours in prayer, pilgrimage, and frequent confession. In 1507 he was ordained to the priesthood, and in 1508 he was sent to teach Theology at the newly founded University of Wittenberg, later being called to the position of Doctor in Bible. Martin Luther had started the Reformation with a copy of his Disputation of Martin Luther on the Power and Efficacy of Indulgences�?which came to be known as The Ninety-Five Theses. He had also...

...Building an Effective Internal IT Audit Function (While this topic is written from an internal auditor's perspective, the concepts and philosophies can be adapted to guide the external audit function as well) AUDIT DEPARTMENT PURPOSE Why does the internal audit department exist? What's the end goal? * Is our purpose to issue reports? * To raise issues? * To make people look bad? * To show how smart we are and how dishonest, incompetent, and corrupt the rest of the company is? * To flex our muscles and show that we can do anything and tell on anyone because we report to the board of directors? AUDIT DEPARTMENTS * formed by the company's audit committee (a subset of the board of directors) * for the purpose of providing them with independent assurance that internal controls are in place and functioning effectively. The audit committee wants a group that it can trust to be objective enough to tell it if there is anything the committee should be worried about. What's "really going on" in the company. The committee wants someone it can trust to turn in all the evildoers in the company who refuse to implement internal controls. Internal audit departments usually report directly to the chairman of the audit committee, so they feel protected from blowing the whistle on the hordes of dishonest managers who surely have infested the company. The real mission of the internal audit department is to help improve the state of internal controls at the company. Admittedly...

...problem becomes clear immediately. All are treated equally and fairly by the law, but what happens when the law itself is not fair? Sharia law, for example, contains many rulings that a westerner would consider unjust. Having your hand cut off because you stole a trinket from a shop would be judged as a cruel and unnecessarily harsh punishment by western standards. Here it is apparent that equality before the law is not enough to ensure justice throughout the world. There must be a set of guidelines, accepted to be universal, that shape what the law can or cannot do to a human being. Fortunately, there exists such a document in the form of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Written and ratified by the United Nations, this document lists out thirty articles of rights...
