...Name of Student: Name of Instructor: Course: Date: Accounting Standards Codification The FASB Accounting Standard Codification is the source of authoritative Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) documented by the FASB to be applied to nongovernmental entities. The Codification is the result of a major five-year project involving more than two hundred people from multiple entities. The Codification is effective for provisional and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. All previous levels (a)-(d) United States GAAP standards issued by standard setter are superseded. Also, all other accounting literature not included in the codifications will be considered to be lacking authority. US GAAP considered to be lacking in accounting authority such as practice, textbook, articles and other similar content is not included in the FASB codification. The codification is very different from the structure of previous standards. The FASB had three primary goals in developing the codification. The first rationale for the new codification by the FASB was to ensure that the codified content accurately represented authoritative US GAAP by July1, 2009, besides incorporating all the latest accounting principles that are necessary for legal accounting practice. Like most professional fields, accounting is quite dynamic. Principles employed in the field of accounting keep on changing from time to time and the US GAAP has not been spared from these changes...

...writer’s personal experiences, information found in other books or sources, or information gleaned from talking with others such as a parent or expert. Knowing how to write academic essay is essential for developing good composition skills. It gives the author an easy format for clear organization and explanation of a topic. Many literature and composition classes require academic essays because of the simplicity and clarity they bring to a specific topic and that is why understanding academic essay is important. Academic essay consists of three parts—the introduction, the body, and the conclusion—and each part plays a role that is vital to the structure and presentation of the essay. The introduction sets the foundation of the paper and is concluded with the thesis statement, which is what the rest of the paper will address. The introduction consists of one paragraph following 5-10 sentences. This paragraph introduces the reader to the topic and outlines what the reader will learn from the essay. In the introduction, a hook is important to grab the reader’s attention and is usually the first sentence. At the end of the introduction a transitional sentence is helpful so that the essay flows seamlessly from one paragraph to the next. As important as having a hook...

...and present them so that when they get to college they can pass their classes. This means that high school teachers only teach them to write so specifically and in such a hard structured manner, that many students hardly ever learn to write papers that flow. In high school, I always wrote really nice papers that my teachers enjoyed grading, however, I always hated writing them because if I did not use the cookie cutter format that they gave us, my teachers would not accept the work. The format that I am referring to goes as follows: hook, introduction, and thesis for paragraph one, three body paragraphs with two examples to support your thesis in each paragraph, and finally a conclusion ("Essay Template"). In total, there were five paragraphs, never any more, and never any less. The hook was always supposed to be a quote related to the topic or a factual piece of information...

...Page 1 of 8 How to Structure & Organize Your Paper Organizing Your Thoughts Making sense out of your observations about a text is a difficult task. Even once you've figured out what it is that you want to say, you are left with the problem of how to say it. With which idea should you begin? Should you address the opinions of other thinkers? As to that stubborn contradiction you've uncovered in your own thinking: what do you do with that? Writing papers in college requires that you come up with sophisticated, complex, and even creative ways of structuring your ideas. Accordingly, there are no simple formulae that we can offer you that will work for every paper, every time. We can, however, give you some things to think about that will help you as you consider how to structure your paper. Let Your Thesis Direct You Begin by listening to your thesis. If it is well-written, it will tell you which way to go with your paper. Suppose, for example, that in responding to Richard Pipes' book, The Russian Revolution, you have written a thesis that says: The purpose of the Russian Revolution was not only to revise Russia's class system, but to create a new world, and within that world, a new kind of human being. This thesis provides the writer (and the reader) with several clues about how best to structure the paper. First, the thesis promises the reader that it will argue that the Russian Revolution was not simply a matter of class. The paper will therefore begin by saying that...

...Nov 16,2013 1. Emerson begins his second paragraph with “Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string,” (as cited in Langan, 2014) What does he mean by this? Why do you think he placed the quote this early in the essay? Explain (1)I feel that Emerson’s quote “Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to its own string,” Is implying, whatever you set your mind too you can accomplish. “Every heart vibrates to its own Iron string,” Is implying that everyone is different; we go about doing things in different ways, but it doesn’t mean that it’s wrong. (2) I feel he placed this quote so early in the essay because; he wanted to attract the reader’s attention with such a unique passage. He tried grabbing their attention, early in the passage. 2. In paragraph 4, Emerson says, “it is easy in the world to live after the world’s opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own” (as cited in Langan, 2014). What does he mean by this quote? What is his purpose in making this statement? Explain. (1) “It is easy in the world to live after the world’s opinion”, basically it’s saying that it is easy for other people to justify your life, doing what’s good in the eyes of society. Letting what other people think, affect the way you live your life. “It’s is easy in solitude to live after our own,” Is saying to live in solitude, you can easily live, doing the things that you want to do. (2) To shed light on the situation, of people caring, what other people think. Live by your...

... I thought that this course would be easy because all we will do is write essays. I thought I would be fully prepared by just going over Grammar rules and standardized test tips. In retrospect, after I have attended the class for almost the entire semester, I never expected to learn a new process of writing. During my time at high school, we never went over multiple stages of reflections, revisions, or writing skills. I usually just wrote for my enjoyment or for an assignment. I strongly believe that if I had learned these processes in high school, my papers would have benefitted greatly. As this semester comes to an end, I look back at everything I have accomplished in this class. I have acquired many writing techniques through annotations, in – class assignments, and multiple essays. Because of this, I have improved tremendously as a writer. Throughout the time I have spent in this writing course, I was reminded of how effective writing can be. As I further analyze my writing, I realized that I have learned how to become a real writer. The essays included will demonstrate the tremendous amount of strength I have gained in writing this semester. I believe that I am good organizing my writing in terms of placement and topics of each body paragraph. An example of this is in my first essay about my literacy sponsors. I organized the essay by beginning each body paragraph with a sentence that corresponds to the last sentence of the paragraph that precedes it. I feel like this type...

...to read. He says: “We were poor by most standard …… I still remember the exact moment when I first understood, with a sudden clarity, the purpose of a paragraph” (12). Alexie establishes pathos by describing the poverty in his childhood and the happiness when he understood the paragraph. Readers could get into his story and they doubt the relationship between those books and his brilliant literacy. He also establishes pathos with some sentences like “As Indian children, we were expected to fail in the non-Indian world. Those who failed were ceremonially accepted by other Indians and appropriately pitied by non-Indians. I refused to fail” (12). These words are easy to affect the audience’s emotional response. So it will be easier for Alexie to persuade millennials to read books and benefit from books. Then Alexie tells that he read and learned a lot from books after that. According to his own experience, Alexie says that millennials should read books as much as they can. Also, he states that “We were Indian children who were expected to be stupid” (13). If millennials refuse to fail like him, he illustrates according to his experience that reading is the only way to save millennials’ lives. The logic of reasons are clear and easy to understand. And those narratives are effective enough to support evidence. At the last paragraph,...

...OneNote is an excellent, easy to use tool for students, writers, people looking for a way to organize notes, or anyone who needs more flexibility than Word provides in the creation of documents. OneNote is also consider as a universal application. It is available in multiple operating systems, which include Microsoft Windows, Mac, Android and iOS. Therefore, we can basically use OneNote whenever and wherever we are. Whether we are at home, in the office or on the go, our notes will travel with us as long as we have a smartphone, a tablet or a PC around us. Not only that, we can even share our notes and collaborate with others across multiple devices. OneNote is built around a notebook metaphor. It organizes data into notebooks, and we can create as many notebooks as we need. Every notebook you create contains sections, which appear as tabs across the top of the notebook’s main screen. Every section contains pages, and pages are where you actually put your data. So, for example, if we were planning a cross-country summer vacation trip, we can create a Summer Vacation notebook. Within that notebook, we can create separate sections for each state you planned to pass through. And each state section could contain pages for specific sites that we planned to visit. One thing that makes OneNote interesting is the flexibility it gives us when we add information to a page. Every page in OneNote is freeform. We are allowed to add text, images, links to webpages, tables, and other bits...

...These events challenged Robinson by forcing him to face racial slurs, snubs, and physical threats from fans, teammates, and opponents who did not want a black man to play in the major leagues. In paragraph 3, it states, ”It hadn’t been that easy to fight the resentment expressed by players on other teams, by the team owners, or by bigoted fans screaming “n---.” (Robinson) This shows that he faced discrimination and threats from his teammates, other teams, other coaches, and fans. In addition, Jackie broke the color barrier in the Major Leagues. In paragraph 2, the text states, “I was proud to be in the hurricane eye of a significant breakthrough and to be used to prove that a sport can’t be called national if blacks are barred from it.” (Robinson) This shows that Jackie broke the color barrier in baseball which made it possible for blacks to play in Major League Baseball. This paragraph told you about how Jackie Robinson faced discrimination and many threats when he broke the color barrier in Major League...

...Franklin project: Paragraphs Paragraph 1: Franklin Reflection Benjamin Franklin’s improvement plan for himself was very substantial for one to commit to. Having thirteen personality traits to flip around at one time is too much for a human to conquer. He must have been a serious go getter. He made a chart and even kept a journal to record his progress. Personally I feel like doing this would be almost impossible. He writes “I wanted to make all these virtues into personal habits, so I tried to master them one at a time”. It’s great to work hard for something, but it’s hard enough changing one thing but changing thirteen things would be non- accomplishable. I remember I tried to change just a few things about me. Just doing that was hard, and it took awhile and sometimes I still mess up. But having ten more things would be too much. However, he definitely knew it would be a challenge according to his quote, “ Like a man with a large garden to weed, I knew I could not get rid of all my faults at once”. At least he is somewhat realistic. Still I believe if he took to the list with tremendous work ethic, he would still most likely not perfect himself. Perfection takes a lifetime. Paragraph 2: My Plan My improvement plan consists of simply not cursing, and replacing those words with more sensible words. Cursing is unprofessional and makes me sound uneducated. I knew it needed to stop, so like Benjamin Franklin I set myself up with a self improvement...

...understanding it deeper, I found that it has a lot more into it. I best view the poem this way, in the first paragraph I imagine the owner of the house ridding the horseman, which is a worker, out of his property telling him that he shouldn’t just lie and stare in there, that he has work to do and finish. On the second paragraph basing on the term “darkest evening of the year”, I envision the horseman to be in some sort of personal hardship and again, the owner of the house is giving him harsh lectures about life. Even his horse seemed estranged and confused of his own doing, stopping on a home in such a depressed place without anything to do but just halt in there. On the third paragraph I visualize the situation to be that the owner is still giving sermons to the horseman, telling him that he should go away now and get on with it. That he should put away all the nonsense that he is thinking. Like in the term “the only other sound's the sweep of easy wind and downy flake”, I think the horseman was thinking about the life that he could’ve or should’ve lived or a sort of life that he wants, an easy and carefree life. I believe the owner of the house is telling him that those chances are gone, or just by standing there all his imaginations won’t come true, and he should just move on and live what life he has right now or go on and try to change it. On the fourth paragraph, I imagine that the horseman - with all the owner of the home’s lectures and sermons, is finally enlightened...
