1. After reading the case, I would say that the engagement risk the auditors are facing is fairly high. Up until 1999, George Newton, the current CEO/CFO of Northern Frontier Parks, Inc., was responsible for creating the financial statements, which were not being audited or reviewed by anybody. This is an issue because without an audit, there is no way to ensure the company’s financials are being correctly stated. George Newton wanted to base the purchase price of the shares on a multiple of net income, which is concerning because he could’ve been fraudulently reporting the financials of NFP in order to set a favorable price for himself since nobody was auditing his work.…

Skyhorse decides to end the novel with these lines because he wants to describe what happen with Chavez Ravine, he wants his readers to be aware of what happen since the people that were evicted from Chavez Ravine seem to be forgotten. Now the people don’t know the story of Chavez Ravine they just know that the Dodgers stadium is there but not what a lot of people suffered because the city took that land without being theirs and putting the people to the side. With this lines he creates an idiom that expresses what Chavez Ravine is because even though it was destroyed and rid of, the memories of those that lived there still exists. That is something nobody was able to get rid of, this is what he expresses with these lines. In the first line, Blackjack is seen…

On 4th October 2001, I went on geography field trip to Ashdown Forest. We got out of the coach and started to walk towards the river source. Unfortunately due to the lack of weather there wasn’t any water. It was dry rather than muddy. We took some notes of landscape then we started walk towards the waterfall which was also dry. We could see where the drop was and where the hard rock eroded away soft rock. We took some measurement of the fall (width and depth). Secondly we walked toward the V-shaped valley and river. We drew the landscape of v-shaped valley and jot some notes down as well. But the river wasn’t fill up with water so there wasn’t any flow. So we took some measurements in our mini group. We measured river course section, speed and depth of water. Lastly we started to walk our way back to coach. On the way back we stopped at Arman’s Grave where 6 people died in plane crash in World War 2. We took some note on that and came back to coach. After that we had lunch and come back to school. In this project I am to explain some features of Ashdown Forest that I found out when I was on the trip.…

Having grown up in Western North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee, I have a love for nature and the mountains. With this love, comes a fascination for and desire to learn more about the areas that I adore the most. The Great Smoky Mountains Nation Park is one of those places. The park is a chain of preserved land that stretches from Gatlinburg, Tennessee to Cherokee, North Carolina, along Highway 441. In the midst of reading Dorie: Woman of the Mountains by Florence C. Bush, I was interested to learn that Dorie grew up in what is known today as The Great Smoky Mountains National Park. To dig deeper into the topic, I found a photograph of a town called Elkmont and records from the park’s commission during the early 1900’s. An analysis of the Photograph of Elkmont and records from the Tennessee Great Smoky National Park Commission of 1931 reveals a town’s time when lumber companies were king and the time before and during the establishment of a national park.…
"The educated differ from the uneducated as much as the living differ from the dead."(Aristotle) The importance of education is effectively illustrated in the book Crow Lake by Mary Lawson and also in Alden Nowlan's poem Warren Pryor. Both Kate's family and Warren's family highly value the importance of education and both families expect their children to receive higher education. Both Kate and Warren used education as a tool to escape poverty. However, they differ in their feelings toward education and the life chosen by their parents.…
Many national parks are hard to get to so a trip must be booked with a float plane to get out where the national parks is. Some parks are more on the grid than others for people that don't have as much time to go deep into the Alaskan wilderness. Weather you would want a paved trail or a deep off the grid trail there's a park that would meet those needs (“Most Popular”). The word “fjord” is a Norwegian term for a glacier-carved inlet. And while you may not hear it invoked often in the lower 48, Alaska has an abundance of beautiful fjords that enchant visitors every year (“Most Popular”).Located on the Alaskan panhandle in the southeastern corner of the state,Glacier Bay is home to some of the most beautiful vistas of active glaciers the state has to offer (“Most Popular”).Elias is on the Alaska-Canada border and is the largest national park in the US. It’s also home to the second largest mountain in America, the breathtaking Mt. St. Elias (“Most Popular”). Many areas in Alaska have been destroyed by human error such as oil spills and cannot be rebuilt. These things are taken for granted till they are gone which is why their are preservations. By creating preservations it protects the biosphere (“Preservation”). Following the establishment of the Yellowstone National Park by President Ulysses S. Grant in 1872, which was the first national park in the United States, many other countries decided to preserve their areas of natural beauty as well (“Preservation”). These protected areas are off limits to any sort of commercial development and all motorized and even mechanical vehicles (“Preservation”). The law created the National Wilderness Preservation System that initially placed 9.1 million acres under federal protection (“Preservation”). These areas that were made into preservations would probably look good to us now but by making it a preservation it helps save it long…

Fort Sumter has to be one of the most historic national monuments in South Carolina. This fort has gone through a lot of history over the past years. I will inform you with some of the history behind this fort. The fort was appointed after the man called Thomas Sumter. He was conceived in 1734 and he past away in 1832. One of the main reasons why this fort is so famous is because its known as the first battlefield where gunshots started and it began the civil war. This fort had received an enormous amount of damage during the civil war because there were bombardments all over Fort Sumter. The biggest bombardment exploded in April 1861; in addition, around this time the fort was still being constructed the fort was formed in shape of a pentagon because it was believed that a fort has a better change of defending against outside intruders. What made it even better for the confederate army is that it was also built on the beach shore in the edge of the peninsula, so the union army had only one way of invading the fort. The fort was not actually finish when the civil war broke out. During the war the bombings almost destroyed half of Fort Sumter.…
