...The Holographic Principle Andrew J. Birk Jr. Argosy University Page 1 Abstract The holographic principle; a seemingly abstract idea almost out of reach from the mentality of the average person that suggests the entire basis of existence is merely illusory images. William Blake, the early 18th century English poet in Auguries of Innocence made allegory to this notion: "To see the world in a grain of sand, and to see heaven in a wild flower, old infinity in the palm of your hands, and eternity in an hour." The idea that everything in the world is subjective and the physical manifestations of matter are purely a construct of observation. The properties of certain immutable cosmic laws of the universe, physics and even mentality intertwine to depict a reality of literal imagination. The purpose of this thesis is to prove this very cogitation; the universe is most likely intangible and thus holographic by nature. Since, as human beings, our experience is totally confined to perception and it’s interpretation and due to many anomalous events and devices within the physical world; there lies credence in this theory. Anomalous objects such as black holes and their “informational paradox”, dark matter, atomic structure and even the manner of which the brain works all play a crucial role in supporting this outrageous, yet sensible idea. Keywords: quantum physics, reality, gravity, observation...

...In Hume’s Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding, he claims that it is not reason, but experience which guides and is the basis for most of our beliefs, or matters of fact. What the cause is for this, is the question he ultimately tackles in order to gain an understanding of the human nature of the connection of experience and existence. When discussing how our mind forms connections between various thought, he states that “method and regularity” act to enforce a regular chain of ideas that also serve to relate to memory and imagination (p.14). When this regular chain is broken in upon by some irregular thought, it is quickly noticed. From this, he gathers that because of the regularity that occurs in the thought process, a universal principle exists to bring together ideas in such a comprehensible fashion. These principles of association, as he calls them, are Resemblance, Contiguity, and Cause and Effect. To prove that these three principles hold to connect all possible forms of ideas, he suggests that if all situations are rendered to as general a form as possible, principles of association will apply alone or in some combination in all cases. For our purposes, cause and effect is the most relevant principle which may cast light on Hume’s statement that “Custom, then, is the great guide of human life. It is that principle alone, which renders our experience useful to us,” (p.29). Before entertaining the suggestion that customs are in fact an important guide to human life, it...

...The revenue recognition principle is a cornerstone of accrual accounting together with matching principle. They both determine the accounting period, in which revenues and expenses are recognized. According to the principle, revenues are recognized when they are realised or realisable, and are earned (usually when goods are transferred or services rendered), no matter when cash is received. In cash accounting – in contrast – revenues are recognized when cash is received no matter when goods or services are sold. Cash can be received in an earlier or later period than obligations are met (when goods or services are delivered) and related revenues are recognized that results in the following two types of accounts: * Accrued revenue: Revenue is recognized before cash is received. * Deferred revenue: Revenue is recognized after cash is received The revenue recognition principle is a cornerstone of accrual accounting together with matching principle.

...Principles of Natural Justice Assignment Topic On Business Law Presented By Alexander T C , IInd Semester MBA Evening Batch 2010-2012 Assignment on Business Laws - Principles of Natural Justice Presented By Alexander T C MBA 2nd Semester IMK –UoK 1. Introduction :- Why Application of Principles of Natural Justice in Managerial Decisions is important? Most Managerial decisions that affect individuals and organisations are made by primary decision makers i.e. front-line administrators and managers. Only a minority of these decisions are reviewed by internal review officers, ombudsmen, courts or tribunals. The quality of administrative justice experienced by the public depends largely on primary decision makers ‘getting it right’. Central to good decision making is decision makers’ understanding of the legal and administrative framework in which decisions should be made. In turn, this depends on whether primary decision makers have adequate knowledge of that framework. While taking a decision a manager has to have the following in his mind to have his decision justified. Procedural Fairness Lawfulness Evidence, Facts And Findings Reasons Accountability 2. Definition:Justice is of two types namely Legal Justice and Natural Justice. Legal justice refers to justice governed by the law of the state and natural Justice refers to moral justice and is governed by the Laws of Equity. Justice done to one seems not injustice to another. So the goodness of a law...

...Matter is generally considered to be anything that has mass and volume. The volume is determined by the space in three dimensions that it occupies. The mass is determined by its rest mass (or invariant mass), which is measured by the acceleration a body has when a force is applied. The greater the mass, the slower the acceleration for the same force. Matter is thus a general term for the substance of which all observable physical objects consist. Typically, matter includes atoms and other particles that have mass, but this definition confuses mass and matter, which are not the same. Different fields use the term in different and sometimes incompatible ways; there is no single agreed scientific meaning of the word "matter," even though the term "mass" is better-defined. Common definition The common definition of matter is anything that has both mass and volume (occupies space). For example, a car would be said to be made of matter, as it occupies space, and has mass. The observation that matter occupies space goes back to antiquity. However, an explanation for why matter occupies space is recent, and is argued to be a result of the Pauli exclusion principle. Two particular examples where the exclusion principle clearly relates matter to the occupation of space are white dwarf stars and neutron stars, discussed further below. Atoms and molecules definition A definition of "matter" that is based upon its physical and chemical structure is: matter is made up of atoms and molecules...

...focuses on the modifications and opinions of an audit report. An audit report is a crucial part in the auditing process. It is a guide for users of the financial information. Auditors issue opinions on the financial statements based on certain criteria. The main thing is if the financial statements are presented in accordance to GAAP. Also, modifications can occur after the opinion is issued. Modifications vary depending on the issue at hand. Changes in principles or a report involving other auditors are a few. More will be addressed in the paper. An audit report is different is many ways. Even for one company, the audit report may not be the same every year. Modifications and Opinions in Audit Reports Every publicly traded company gets audited. Pop Iuliana (2012) says, “The purpose of an audit is to improve the degree of trust of the users across the financial situations” (p.454). Companies must present their financial statements in accordance to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The final stage of an audit is writing an audit report. An audit report “expresses an opinion over the audited financial situations so that any user of this information is able to take decisions based on it” (Iuliana, 2012, p. 453). A standard audit report contains eight parts. The eight parts are report title, audit report address, introductory paragraph, management’s responsibility, auditor’s responsibility, opinion paragraph, name and address...

...Introduction Shariah principles are the foundation for the practice of Islamic finance through the observance of the tenets, conditions and principles espoused by Shariah. Comprehensive compliance with Shariah principles would bring confidence to the general public and the financial markets on the credibility of Islamic finance operations. Bank Negara Malaysia (the Bank) places great importance in ensuring that the overall Islamic financial system operates in accordance with Shariah principles. This is to be achieved through the two-tier Shariah governance infrastructure comprising two (2) vital components, which are a centralised Shariah advisory body at the Bank and an internal Shariah Committee formed in each respective Islamic financial institution (IFI). The Shariah Advisory Council of Bank Negara Malaysia (SAC) is a body established under section 51 of the Central Bank of Malaysia Act 2009 that has positioned the SAC as the apex authority for the determination of Islamic law for the purposes of Islamic financial business. The mandates of the SAC, among others, are to ascertain the relevant Islamic law on any financial matter and issue a ruling upon reference made to it, as well as to advise the Bank and the IFI concerned on any Shariah issues relating to Islamic financial business operations, activities or transactions. SECTION I: General Requirements of the Shariah Governance Framework Principle 1: It is the duty and responsibility of an IFI to establish...

...to a person’s mistake but not deliberately, or the person didn’t want to hurt anyone, but when he faced to choose between personal benefit and other peoples’ life, he chose the first one. In this situation, this person still has the responsibility to others. On the other hand, laws are always laws. Everyone should limit personal behavior no matter the law is important or negligible. 2. In Jason’s first dream he has to decide between doing nothing and letting a dozen teenagers die or diverting the train that will now kill one person. Jason had very short time to think about this question, and finally he preferred to divert the train to save the dozen teenagers, which is the larger number. I think if I were Jason, I would do the same thing. 3. In making life and death decisions, does it matter who the people are who will die? Does it matter what they are doing or why they are there? What other factors may go into making this decision? It doesn’t matter that who the people are who will die. In making life and death decisions, everyone is the same. Nobody is more important than others. Everyone’s life is precious. It also doesn’t matter what they are doing or why they are there because they already there, and the most important factor is that which way we can use to save people’s life as much as we can. 4. Jason is changed by 9/11. He says that his non-violence had been “a rationalization for his cowardice.” Do you agree? Do you think his change was for the better? I cannot...

...work. The primary question as to the latter is the aim with which it shall be conducted. Two controlling purposes may be entertained so different from each other as radically to alter the amount, conditions, and method of practice work. On one hand, we may carry on the practical work with the object of giving teachers in training working command of the necessary tools of their profession; control of the technique of class instruction and management; skill and proficiency in the work of teaching. With this aim in view, practice work is, as far as it goes, of the nature of apprenticeship. On the other hand, we may propose to use practice work as an instrument in making real and vital theoretical instruction; the knowledge of subject-matter and of principles of education. This is the laboratory point of view. The contrast between the two points of view is obvious; and the two aims together give the limiting terms within which all practice work falls. From one point of view, the aim is to form and equip the actual teacher; the aim is immediately as well as ultimately practical. From the other point of view, the immediate aim, the way of getting at the ultimate aim, is to supply the intellectual method and material of good workmanship, instead of making on the spot, as it were, an efficient workman. Practice work thus considered is administered primarily with reference to the intellectual reactions it incites, giving the student a...

The idea of the struggle for life tends to be modified and even denied; it is asserted that, at least as popularly understood, it formed no real part of Darwinism. Finally, the first idea of a slow and gradual evolution is being challenged by a new theory of evolution through sudden and rapid outbursts; and again we pass from the sense of an obvious superficial machinery and all sufficient material necessity to profoundities whose mystery is yet to be fathomed.In the first place, the materialistic theory of evolution starts from the Sankhya position that all world is a development out of indeterminate Matter by Nature-Force, but it excludes the Silent Cause of the Sankhyas, the Purusha or observant and reflective Soul. This is the first paradox of the theory and its justification must be crushing...

For example, it reduces the risk that management may inappropriately rely on the accountant to protect the entity against certain risks or to perform certain functions that are management's responsibility. The accountant should ensure that the understanding includes the objectives of the engagement, management's responsibilities, the accountant's responsibilities, and the limitations of the engagement. In some cases, the accountant may establish such understanding with those charged with governance. .03 An understanding with management and, if applicable, those charged with governance, regarding a compilation of financial statements should include the following matters: • The objective of a compilation is to assist management in presenting financial information in the form of financial statements. • The accountant utilizes information that is the representation of management (owners) without undertaking to obtain or...

...THE OBJECTIVES OF RUKUN NEGARA THE PRINCIPLE OF RUKUN NEGARA CONCLUSION REFERENCE INTRODUCTION Even though most of the people in the country has heard of Rukun Negara, the understanding and the level of knowledge about it varies very much between each individual. Most of them only know about the existence of the Rukun Negara, while some are only able to repeat the principle. However, there are some who understand the meaning as well as the message and the demands of each principle. Rukun Negara should be taken as a guide in our day-to-day living because it is a set of “national tenets” that teaches us the right norms of behaviour. There are two types of dimensions of relationship involved wherever there is human interaction. These two relationships are relationship among fellow human beings and relationship with god. Both of these two dimensions of relationships are recognised by all religions and all profess doing the right things in life. The principles of Rukun Negara ideologise the level the level of authority that control and guide us from the level of god down to the state level, institutions level and finally the self level. The entire background of the ideology and the purpose for creating it must be clearly understood by an individual to internalise the spirits of Rukun Negara. Ideology means a scheme of ideas at the basic of a system. When we say that Rukun Negara is a national ideology it refers to the principles of “living policies” to be used as the...
