...The Gods Must be Crazy; Overview and Criticize In “The Gods Must be Crazy” they take the perspective of a simple Coke (glass) bottle form a tribe that has never seen such a thing. It shows a coke bottle thrown from a passing plane landing in a tribe. This coke bottle instantly seems to turn into a gift from the gods. Everyone in the tribe starts to fight over it and even use it as a weapon at one point. A tribe member is sent to throw it back to the gods. On his journey back he kills a goat, not knowing the meaning of “property”. He is put in jail where a man that used to be in his tribe saves him. He and his buddy then save Kate (the school teacher) from some guerillas and continue his journey to ”the end of the world”. He later gets to a cliff that may seem to him like the end of the world where he chucks the bottle and returns to his tribe. This movie not only makes the tribal people seem ridiculous unintelligent it makes them seem clueless in a sense. They find a bottle and al of a sudden start to go mad. I did enjoy how dim some scenes are in this but this as about all I enjoyed. The lack of realism that the movie shows is a part that makes it seem as if it could never happen. Overall Jamie Uys (director, producer and writer) do not do a good job making the plot and story realistic enough for any of this to be...

...Miranda, Charlotte fl P. A.203 Crazy Little Thing Called Love The first 15 minutes of the movie was the introduction of the characters and the situation the characters were in. The story is centered on an average, plain-looking and dark-skinned girl named Nam who is secretly in love with an older Grade 10 guy named Shone . Shone, a new student, a rumored troublemaker and a photography enthusiast, easily becomes a popular student in school because of his good looks and soccer-playing skills. The plot was very simple but its simplicity caught my attention. Dark skinned, with glasses and braces = the complete cliché package of an ugly girl falls in love with unbelievably handsome and charming upperclassman. Of course he has to be perfect in every way possible, all sensitive and artistic (but athletic and hot at the same time) while she is the clumsy nerd in the shadows. The movie opens up with Nam's quirky group of friends and a teacher who is too straightforward for her own good. A few juvenile scenes of picking out crushes, passing notes during class and stolen glimpses and suddenly, the story becomes all too familiar. All those enchantment-believing, book-reading and daydreaming moments could might as well be anybody else's story and it was that gravitation to something so recognizable to all, I think, that made this movie so popular and endearing to people who have a heart and once used it for something no matter how one-sided and futile the experience was. But of course...

...Crazy By, Carly Growing up, me and my sister, Casey, we best friends with the girl who lived across the street from us, Bridgette Samuels. Bridgette spent more time at our house than her own. My mother used to always joke that Bridgette was her third daughter. She very could have been. She would go out to dinner with us every Friday night, join us on our family vacations, was pictured on every Christmas card, and had her own place at our kitchen table. When my mom went grocery shopping, she not only bought Casey’s and my favorite snacks, but Bridgette’s as well. She was like a sister to us. Bridgette was the first of us to take an interest in boys. You might say she was a little crazy when it came to them. Bridgette would chase around the boys in our neighborhood in her miniskirts and platform flip-flops, while Casey and I would stand by, completely disinterested. We still held the mentality that boys were stupid, and we ignored them while boy-crazed Bridgette tried to convince them to kiss her. But by the following summer, the summer between third and fourth grade, things had changed. My mother took up a job at the local hospital, and the three of us were enrolled in day camp. It was there we met our summer heartthrob and the focus of our desire – Danny Barkler. The three of us obsessed over Danny, daring each other to talk to him and drawing his name in hearts with chalk. We pined over ways to get Danny’s attention, despite none of our efforts ever succeeding. Even...

...Crazy is defined as mentally unbalanced or insane. Emily is definitely crazy. Necrophilia or not, she is considered crazy either way. Although, the crazy focused here is the one that does not concern necrophilia. This focuses more on how she is trying to grasp some things she cannot have, and also having to kill just to have it. Some may say she is normal, but I say otherwise. The first time I realized she was crazy was at her father’s death. When her father passed away, she did not mourn for his deplorable death. Neither did she want to get rid of him, after the cruelty of depriving her of suitors. She kept clinging to his body, and she kept making herself believe he was alive. Whenever people wanted to give their condolences, her expression was always bland and she claimed that her father was not dead. Psychologically speaking, her reaction was blunt or it lacked in emotional response. Only after three days, when the people were about to resort to law and force, did she admit that he was dead. It was only then that she allowed the authorities to take his body. Another reason why I said she was crazy was because of the time she bought poison. She simply intimidated the druggist into giving her the poison she wanted. She did not say what the use was for, as long as it will “work”. This can actually tell you that she has a plan on killing someone. People with necrophilia do not kill to be with the dead, they just love being with the dead. Crazy people, though, can have the...

The first sentence is the thesis statement, and it must be compound: Complex. The next four sentences will cover the four Roman numerals. There should be one sentence per Roman numeral. Then you will type the body of your paper, one paragraph per letter for a total of eight body paragraphs. Mind reading or telepathy is the sending and receiving from human to human by means other than the bodies physical senses. Also, telepathy suggests that we have other physical senses other than seeing, hearing, taste, feeling, and smell, which makes us capable of sensing and receiving the mental images and emotions of other human being. Most people call this extrasensory perception, ESP for short. Tele is from the Greek word meaning far off or the distance and the root word pathy is the Greek word meaning to feel something from a distance. Some people think telepathy is telepathy is fake while other people think it’s just people being able to predict someone’s behavior because they know them well (Lance 5). Telepathy is not just an alternative form of communication that only a few highly developed individuals can use. We all unknowingly use it on a daily basis to supplement our verbal communication. Whenever we explain something to somebody, our thoughts telepathically convey impressions which supplement our words. This helps other...

...52.72 | Inventory Turnover | 3.23 | 4.38 | 5.14 | 5.88 | Shown above are some of the key ratios for Crazy Eddie during the period 1984-1987. Some of the red flags these ratios reveal include the steady decline of inventory turnover rates from 1984-1987 which could indicate lost sales, excess inventory, or ineffective buying. Another red flag is the accounts receivable turnover figures. The drop from 116.78 in 1986 to 32.5 in 1987 is most likely a result of the poor credit policies Crazy Eddie had in place for its customers. 2.) Several audit procedures could have led to the detection of some of the accounting irregularities involved in the financial statements of Crazy Eddie. For (a) the falsification of inventory count sheets, the auditors could have visited more than one site of a Crazy Eddie store and performed full physical counts of inventory that didn’t allow Eddie Antar to stock up one location with inventory which he knew would be audited. Also, the auditors could have checked the inventory that was in place with the amounts on the inventory sheets and obtain proper documentation from vendors and confirming with them the proper inventory that was ordered. With regards to (b) the bogus debit memos for accounts payable, the auditors could have confirmed notes payables with banks and creditors that they have received payment or are expecting payment from Crazy Eddie, and trace those numbers with amounts in the general ledger for accounts payable. For (c) the recording...

...Hakeem Stewart Gary Peterson HU 242 Western Lit I October 9, 2013 RESPONSE ASSIGNMENT # _3_ Beowulf In the beginning of Beowulf, King Hrothgar of Denmark built a great mead hall where he and all his warriors could party, eat, and enjoy stories. Even though it was a place of joyful spirits there was a demon named Grendel who would always terrorize the people of Denmark and their mead hall. They would fight back in effort to make the demon leave them alone, but he was too powerful and would kill the warriors. This lasted for years and the Danes couldn’t find a solution to defeat Grendel. Eventually, in time, a Geatish warrior named Beowulf heard the troubles that King Hrothgar and the people of Denmark were going through because of the demon. Beowulf took on the task to defeat the demon. Prior to the battle Beowulf came unarmed and expects to fight Grendel with his bare hands. Grendel is terrified and eventually Beowulf rips the demons arm off and he flees back to the swamp where he soon dies. King Hrothgar and the Danes praise Beowulf for his victory over Grendel. Because of the death of Grendel, his mother, another swamp demon, went to seek revenge for her son’s death. This is where Beowulf and a few of the servants travel the swamp to defeat her. Just as he did before, Beowulf defeated Grendel’s mother, but during the battle he used a sword large enough for a giant instead of his bare hands. Beowulf began to make a buzz around the kingdom naming him the bravest warrior...

...This case is an example of revenue recognition for extended warranty contracts. The parties involved are Crazy Computers (CC), a third-party insurance company (TPI), and a wholly owned captive insurance company (CIC). The problem in this case is whether or not Crazy Computers should recognize commission revenue at the time of sale of the extended warranty contract if CIC reinsures the contracts with TPI. The FASB authoritative standard that applies to this case is ASC 605-45 (Revenue Recognition: Principal Agent Considerations). In this case the question is whether the revenue should be reported as gross or net of the sale. Gross would be the amount the customer paid. Net would be the amount the customer paid less the amount paid to a supplier (TPI). The net amount is considered a commission or fee to the entity acting as an agent (ASC 605-45-45-1). The next thing to look at in this scenario is who is the primary obligor in the agreement. That is, who has the legal obligation to assume risks and rewards from the extended warranty contract. If the entity (CC) is the primary obligor, they assume the obligation of the warranty contract and should record revenue gross of the amount billed to the customer (ASC 605-45-45-4). If the entity’s supplier (TPI) is the primary obligor, they assume the obligation of warranty fulfillment and the entity (CC) should record revenue net of the amount billed to customers less the amount paid to the supplier (TPI) (ASC 605-45-45-16). The amount...

...Organizing Paper Roberta Willis Management Theory, Practice and Application (MGT/230) August 26, 2013 One function of management that any company must focus on is being organized. Wal-Mart is one company that comes to mind when I think of a large corporation that organized. The management function within a corporation such as Wal-Mart is normally one that not only has responsibility, produces unlimited effort as well as carries the authority given. When the company is able to run successfully without issues arising, there is no doubt that the company is well organized. Somewhere along the line if there was a problem to arise they are well organized and prepared to handle any issues they are faced with. Wal-Mart is one very dominant business in today’s society. They operate over 7,000 stores across the United States including warehouses, supercenters as well as Sam’s Clubs in Canada and Mexico. Wal-Mart was created in Rogers, Arkansas in 1962 (Wal-Mart Corporate, 2013). According to the organization process the functions of management are pulling together and combining human finances, physical information and other assets are required in order to accomplish goals ( Bateman & Snell, 2009). Sam Walton ran into a financial burden in 1972, where he did not have the money to invest in other stores. In order to overcome, he invested into the New York stock exchange. He then made a large enough profit to then expand. Wal-Mart had then opened 276 stores within the 80’s (Wal-Mart...
