Abstract
The paper explores how Canon planned a deliberate, well-conceived marketing strategy that successfully secured market share for the company during the course of its ongoing battle with Xerox. Specifically, the paper looks at the details of the company's marketing plan with an eye towards determining what perceived consumer needs it addresses. The paper concludes that while a number of things may be said about Canon's new, aggressive approach to marketing, it appears clear that the company has hit upon a strategy that will allow it to revisit its halcyon days of industry dominance.

Abstract
This paper explains that a canon consists of a list of inclusions, which makes a Scripture authoritative and inspiring, and presents examples from various religions. Next, the author relates the principles by which he has decided to include all the present books in the current canon and to add others to make up a new canon. The paper reports that the additions, the researcher would make under the direction of the Holy Spirit to the current Canon to create the Canon for the 21st century, would be to include Judith, Tobit, the book called the Teaching (Didache) of the Apostles and the Shepherd [of Hermas].

Conclusion

From the Paper
"The early Church contributed to the concept of contemporary "Scripture", perceived to possess content which Jesus Christ fulfilled. Scripture is also considered ""the written revelation of the word and will of God communicated to his people." Canon, in Greek, kanon, evolved from kane, constitutes a word borrowed from the Semitic kaneh, and means "measuring rod" or "measuring stick", or "that which is a standard or norm by which all things are judged or evaluated." The Canon of Scripture, in light of these definitions, denotes "a fixed collection of sacred writings that defines the faith and identity of a particular religious community.""

The Accounting Cycle at Canon Inc.

From the Paper
"The basic purpose of an accounting department in an organization whether it is big (having an independent and separate department) or small (where accounting department is not even a possibility) is to keep a record of accounting data and then process this data into accounting/financial information by preparing financial statements. Keeping in view the basic accounting principles the financial statements should be prepared not only on a regular basis but also on a specific regular time interval (which remains on the discretion of the organization). To meet this objective a proper framework or a series of steps is required that regularizes the whole matter and this is exactly what the accounting cycle is; a series of steps beginning right from the recording of a simple transaction to the compilation of final statements and closing of the accounts."

Abstract
In this article, the writer explores how Canon "planned" a deliberate, well-conceived marketing strategy that successfully secured market share for the company during the course of its ongoing battle with Xerox. Specifically, this paper looks at the details of the company's marketing plan with an eye towards determining what perceived consumer needs it addresses. In the final analysis, while a number of things may be said about Canon's new, aggressive approach to marketing, the writer maintains that it appears clear that the company has hit upon a strategy that will allow it to revisit its halcyon days of industry dominance.

From the Paper
"Naturally, Canon's general movement towards penetrating into a younger market was only one part of its deliberate effort to gradually attenuate Xerox's position. To wit, in late 2004, Canon's Imaging Systems Group launched a multi-million dollar TV, print and radio ad campaign touting its office equipment as being "user-friendly" in a way that the products of its rivals were (and presumably are) not. The much-ballyhooed "New Day" campaign was highlighted by a "Not Business as Usual" tagline and was the third installment in a multi-pronged marketing blitz that actually began in early 2003. Notably, the "first and second legs" of Canon's long-range marketing campaign emphasized the imaging problems customarily faced by employees in the workplace and Canon's solutions to those problems."

Abstract
This paper discusses the qualities required by T. S. Eliot, F. R. Leavis and Matthew Arnold, among others, for literary texts to be included in "The New Critical Canon", which they claimed represented 'the backbone of literary culture and tradition.' It compares and contrasts Eliot's "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" with "Leisure" by W. H. Davies, exploring the extent to which the two poems fulfil the necessary criteria and whether or not Davies' exclusion from the "Canon" was justified, with reference to I. A. Richard's "Four Kinds of Meaning".

From the Paper
"Richards describes 'tone' as the speaker's 'attitude to his listener... in automatic or deliberate recognition of his relation to them.' Throughout his piece, Davies speaks in third person plural, stating that 'We have no time' (l. 2, l. 14), including the reader in the guilt he feels in not making time to properly appreciate 'Beauty' (l. 9) and her 'dance' (l. 10). Interestingly, he points out that animals ['sheep and cows' (l. 4)] take the time to 'stand beneath the boughs, / And stare' (ll. 3-4), sharing his guilt solely with the human race, and using language accordingly. Eliot, however, is not as clear in addressing a specific audience - he never makes it clear who 'you and I' (l. 1) really are: it could be either Prufrock and his lady companion, or Eliot and the reader; the language remains ambiguous and, therefore, the 'recognition of his relation to them' is never truly fulfilled."

Abstract
This undergraduate paper examines Johann Pachelbel's Canon in D Major. The author analyzes the structure of this piece, discusses the composer's thematic approach, and compares and contrasts three different recordings of the work.

Abstract
This paper is on the canons of literature and the manner in which they are interpreted in the context of the theories. The author shows how there is a wide range of attitudes regarding its value and its function.

Abstract
In this paper, the author argues that the Canons of Professional Ethics written for attorneys in the early 1900's are no longer relevant. The paper gives a brief historic background of the Canon's adoption, then highlights the major points of contention, showing point by point how the Canons no longer apply. The author further contends that the Canons often fail to embrace the realities of the legal profession, especially of defense attorneys who must often defend unpopular clients or even for attorneys who wish to solicit business. The writer describes the Canons as often vague, contradictory, and unenforceable.

From the Paper
"Many of the Canons could actually subvert the intention of attorneys to represent clients to their fullest extent. Consider the working Canon 28: "It is unprofessional for a lawyer to volunteer advice to bring a lawsuit, except in rare cases where ties of blood, relationship, or trust make it his duty to do so." (Hurld, 2004) Yes, this would forbid ambulance chasing or advertisements asking a parent of a sick child if medical malpractice might be the cause of their child's infirmity, the sort of attorney advertising and grandstanding non-lawyers enjoy pointing to, when these laypersons explain why they despise attorneys."
