...them pretty when they become sixteen. Tally Youngblood is a typical “ugly”, and lives in Uglyville with other people like herself. She cannot wait until she turns pretty, then she will live in Prettyville and constantly be surrounded beautiful people. Tally admires these beautiful people from afar and wishes she could be one of them. She does not look at inner beauty and only sees what is on the outside of people. Because of this, she views herself and the other people in her town as ugly, when in reality these people are really the beautiful ones since their brains are not affected. They have the ability to make good decisions because their entire mindsets have not been altered. Unfortunately, much of society today also views beauty as being attractive on the outside; however, many people in our current society also look inside people and get to see beauty for what it really is and what it was intended to be. There are many people with “ugly” looks who are still beautiful because of their inner beauty. People can be average-looking and beautiful because of what they are made up of inside. Also, people can be beautiful on the inside and outside.

...Annual Reports Stephanie Shumway McCleneghan Colorado Technical University Online Annual Reports An annual report is a document that companies must provide to their shareholders that describe the organizations operations and financial conditions (Annual Reports, 2014). There are many components that an annual report usually contains such as different financial highlights, management discussion and analysis, auditors reports, and corporate information. All annual reports revolve around financial data, so it is safe to say that when beginning a report, you need to focus on the fiscal numbers. To gather this data, you will want to sit down with the accounting department to review that previous year’s performance. Once this information is reviewed, it will help to provide direction for the report. These reports also tend to act as a sort of marketing devise to share holders and potential investors to show case the company’s strengths. This report generally contains six different sections: a letter from the chairmen, the chief executive’s review, a profile of the board of directors, financial reports, audit reports, and the financial highlights. The chairman’s letter or letter to the shareholders usually acts as a summation of the annual report and reviews the company’s performance over the past year. This tends to be the most read part of the annual report (Annual Reports, 2014). The next section is usually a statement from management that discusses and analyzes sales, profit...

...look deeper into the company, as horizontal analysis is “only a first indication of the financial position of the company” (Hann, P. 2011). Because of this, vertical analysis is often required as more evidence to back up these claims. Generally the first item looked at on the Horizontal Analysis is Revenues. For Xerox, going back three years, it appears as though they have an upward trend in sales right now. They jumped from 102.9% in 2011 to 103.5% in 2012. The rise in sales in both upward and steady. Next, an investor might be likely to look at the Horizontal data for Gross Profit for a firm. Here the investor will discover that the percentage in profit has dropped from 2011 to 2012. It was a large dip from 99.57% to 94.20% at last tally, in 2012. This means the company is experiencing a downward trend. To discover the reasons why, the investor might then want to take a look at the cost of sales for Xerox. The cost of sales in Xerox’s case is significantly higher than their actual sales, and this has been an upward trend as well, since the cost of sales for this company also appears to be steadily climbing. Cost of sales is an important piece of information for an investor to have. “Professional investors pay close attention to the cost of sales because when in increases it reduces a company’s earnings and earnings drive stock prices” (TeenVestor, n.d.). The stocks of businesses, which have expenses that are consistently higher than their sales, are not generally considered...
