The Roman writer and naturalist Pliny the Elder, in his treatise Naturalis Historia states “there is nothing more useful than wine for strengthening the body, while, at the same time, there is nothing more pernicious as a luxury, if we are not on our guard against excess.” Years before he wrote those words, wine had in fact come from humble origins outside Italy itself. Furthermore, the process of fermenting grapes goes back thousands of years, and its beginning can be traced to where the wild grown grape-vine, vitis vinifera, flourished and was actively utilized for this reason.

From 1701 to 1751, gin production levels increased by nearly 600%, while beer production stayed fairly stable and only increased a negligible amount (Doc. 1). It can be reasonably inferred that gin sales increased as a result of a larger supply, which was in turn beneficial to the liquor industry and the finances of the large number of workers involved in the production or sale of gin in all of England. Because this data was collected and processed in the 18th century, when data records were quite poor compared to modern day standards, it cannot be certain that the statistical information is wholly accurate concerning the production of alcohol. However, from this data it is easily gleaned that gin production marginally surpassed that of beer over the course of 50 years, and this in turn created economic benefits for the liquor industry, which made a greater net profit on gin than beer. Great numbers of Englishmen entered the liquor industry, drawn by the profits promised by gin, and by the 1730s there was hardly a tavern in all of England that did not owe a large share of its revenues to the sale of gin (Doc. 4). Many families of England championed the liquor industry, and gave their utmost support to the distilling and sale of spirits, which points to how gin created economic benefits that would induce such support. These same

The significance of Leapfrog was such that Murphy was the first nonexecutive officer who had ever presented to the board of directors. However, to Fain, it was essential that Murphy present the $200 million project so the board could fully understand his enthusiasm as to why the project would transform the company. The project was approved. Leapfrog's three main IT projects Leapfrog was really
