...Dogs are wonderful companions; they love unconditionally and bring joy to the people around them. The energy and enthusiasm they exhibit help keep people moving and interested. The differences in breeds allow you to select the size, temperament and level of security you desire. I am going to adopt a dog as a companion for my dog Jake and myself. I think it’s time you looked into adopting a dog yourself. Adopting a dog would be good for you because it will provide company for you, be beneficial to your exercise program and overall health, as well as alert you when visitors come to your home. The friendliness and loyalty of a dog is a special relationship. You see their exuberance when you take them out to play and every time you return home; whether it is from running quick errands or being at work all day. Jake greets me at the door every evening. He brings joy and laughter into life daily. He can simultaneously give and seek attention; tossing one of his toys to get you to play with him and at the same time looking at you with the quintessential puppy dog eyes to make sure you notice his antics. He stays fit chasing deer off and patrolling the property. Jake is playful and attentive to our five grandchildren when they come to visit. He has experienced them all from babies; the twelve-year-old back when he was young to the one year old he met earlier this year. . One of the first things we noticed after adopting our dog, Jake, thirteen years ago was we were going for walks...

...Jesus Ojeda Top Five Guard Dogs There are top five dogs when it comes to guard and protection, according to Cesar Milan these are the top five dogs; the Bullmastiff, the Doberman, the Rottweiler, the German Shepherd and the Belgian Malinois. These dog breeds have characteristics that make them the best choice when looking for a guard or protection dog. The Bullmastiff is an English dog breed obtained by crossing 60% Mastiffs with 40% Bulldogs. This dog breed dates from 1795.The Bullmastiff was used as a game keeper’s do, even though they were fierce and threatening, they were trained not to bite the prey or in case of a house, the intruder. This breed had a darkish color. But when game keeper dogs were not required anymore, people stop caring about the dark color for night camouflage and so the light fawn coloration became more popular.(AKC, “Bullmastiff”) The Bullmastiff is docile and affective but if it’s provoked it becomes fearless. In the case of a guard dog if an intruder brakes into its territory the Bullmastiff wont attack in order to kill the intruder instead it will catch an intruder, take him down, hold him down and start barking to alert its owner. This breed is also good with children; it is intelligent, even-tempered, calm and loyal. The male Bullmastiff has a height of twenty-seven inches and weighs 133 pounds. They can do okay in an apartment if sufficiently exercised. They cannot tolerate extreme temperatures .With a life expectancy of ten years the Bullmastiff...

...Are you ever in need of a good listener? Are you ever in need of a protector or do you just want a new responsibility to make you happy? Might I suggest to you a pet, not just any pet, but a dog! A dog is a man’s best friend, a commonly used quote that is quiet accurate. I would adopt a dog because they are good companions, good protectors, a good responsibility to take on and they help you to be active. Dogs are good companions because they are very sensitive to human emotions and can brighten your mood when you are having a bad day. A dog is very good at making your surroundings come alive when you feel lonely, by just looking at you and wagging its tail in expression of love and affection for its owner and human companion. Dogs are excellent listeners and good secret keepers. So if you are ever alone and don’t have anyone to talk to, don’t worry your little furry friend will never be too busy to listen. I don’t think there is any other pet that is more loyal than a dog. Have you ever noticed how closely a dog walks with his master? I strongly believe that dogs are excellent pets for everyone to have in general but more specifically for challenged individuals. Which other pet is like a dog that can be trained to be of service to challenged individuals? These trained dogs are good companions who can complete various tasks for their owners as well as they can help them to find specific locations, due to their excellent sense of direction. Dogs, whether trained or not can add...

... Pit Bulls Dogs have been man’s best friend for hundreds of years. Pit bulls were considered “America’s Dog” for many years until people started to inherently misjudge them. Many of their characteristics that people are afraid of are made up and extremely incorrect, some are even impossible for any dog to possess. They are discriminated against without any basis other than skewed opinionated news stories and biased articles. Pit bulls are even an abundantly common household family pet, bought even for children. They are usually only aggressive when they have been raised by bad owners who abuse them, and they have even been proven to be less aggressive than many other dog breeds. Pit bulls are treated differently than other breeds; however, no dog should be discriminated against. There is a wonderful story of a heroic pitbull saving the life its loving owner. Lilly was a female pitbull who was owned by an elderly woman, whose name was Christine, to help her with her drinking problem. One day, Lilly and Christine were walking home from a friends’ house when Christine suddenly collapsed while crossing a set of railroad tracks. A train was coming towards her when the engineer finally saw her lying on the tracks. He frantically tried to slow the train but was unable to stop it completely and would have seriously injured killed her at the speed the train was going. Luckily, Lilly dragged Christine off the tracks to safety before the train could injure her. Although Christine was uninjured...

He was crucial in building the Trans-Canada railroad which provided transportation all over Canada before planes and cars. He helped form Canada they way it is now bringing Nova Scotia, New Brunswick in 1867.

...“Bricks-and-Mortar” vs. “Clicks-and-Mortar”: an Equilibrium Analysis Fernando Bernstein Jing-Sheng Song Xiaona Zheng The Fuqua School of Business The Fuqua School of Business Guanghua School of Management Duke University Duke University Peking University Durham, NC 27708 Durham, NC 27708 Beijing, China 100871 Forthcoming in European Journal of Operational Research The Internet has provided traditional retailers a new means with which to serve customers. Consequently, many “bricks-and-mortar” retailers have transformed to “clicks-and-mortar” by incorporating Internet sales. Examples of companies making such a transition include Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Barnes & Noble, etc. Despite the increasing prevalence of this practice, several fundamental questions remain: (1) Does it pay off to go online? (2) Which is the equilibrium industry structure? (3) What is the implication of this business model for consumers? We study these issues in an oligopoly setting and show that clicks-and-mortar arises as the equilibrium channel structure. However, we find that this equilibrium does not necessarily imply higher profits for the firms: in some cases, rather, it emerges as a strategic necessity. Consumers are generally better off with clicks-and-mortar retailers. If firms align with pure e-tailers to reach the online market, we show that a prisoner’s dilemma-type equilibrium may arise.

...CHAPTER 7 CONTROL AND ACCOUNTING INFORMATION SYSTEMS SUGGESTED ANSWERS TO DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 7.1 Answer the following questions about the audit of Springer’s Lumber & Supply a. What deficiencies existed in the internal environment at Springer’s? The "internal environment" refers to the tone or culture of a company and helps determine how risk consciousness employees are. It is the foundation for all other ERM components, providing discipline and structure. It is essentially the same thing as the control environment in the internal control framework. The internal environment also refers to management's attitude toward internal control, and to how that attitude is reflected in the organization's control policies and procedures. At Springer's, several deficiencies in the control environment are apparent: 1. Management authority is concentrated in three family members, so there are few, if any, checks and balances on their behavior. In addition, several other relatives and friends of the family are on the payroll. 2. Since the company has a "near monopoly" on the business in the Bozeman area, few competitive constraints restrain prices, wages, and other business practices. 3. Lines of authority and responsibility are loosely defined, which make it difficult to identify who is responsible for problems or decisions. 4. Management may have engaged in "creative accounting" to make its financial performance...

...The Chinese church in North America is an anomaly. In the last twenty years, more than three hundred new churches were started. There are three hundred student Bible study groups in Canada and the United States, almost every one of them started by the students themselves. Very evidently God has caused the Chinese in North America to be very responsive to the gospel. The Chinese church is educated, affluent and filled with talent.1 As Two-Third World missions come into prominence in mission circles, the church in the West is looking to the Chinese church to "pick up the baton" and carry out the Great Commission across cultural barriers. Yet with all seven hundred congregations the Chinese church is reaching only five percent of the Chinese community with the gospel.2 She is a small minority. And although endowed with a rich tradition of spirituality and evangelistic zeal, she is weak in two crucial areas: doctrinal maturity 3 and church consciousness.4 She is a young church. Jesus calls the church to disciple the nations (Matthew 28:19-20). Jesus calls us to seek His Kingdom and righteousness in all that we do (Matthew 6:33). Paul tells us that if any human being is in Christ, everything – including his or her whole life -- is made new. The individual is new, or more precisely, there is a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17), a new world. This means that the Lordship of Christ includes His lordship over our work, our careers, our families, and our ambitions. We are to live as...
