...A restructuring of debt constitutes a Troubled Debt Restructuring if the creditor for economic or legal reasons, related to the debtor’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider (FASB ASC 470-60-15-5). That concession either stems from an agreement between the creditor and the debtor or is imposed by law or court (FASB ASC 470-60-15-6). In a Troubled Debt Restructuring, the creditor’s objective is to maximize recovery of its investment by granting relief to the debtor. The creditor expects to obtain more cash or other value from the debtor, or to increase the probability of receipt by granting the concession, rather than by not granting it. Modifications and exchanges that are not considered Troubled Debt Restructurings are accounted for as either (1) an extinguishment (if the terms are substantially different, greater than 10 percent) or (2) a modification. A Troubled Debt Restructuring involves one of two basic types of transactions: 1. Continuation of debt with a modification of terms. 2. Settlement of debt at less than its carrying amount. In the first type of transaction, the creditor agrees to restructure the original terms of the loan in order to help the debtor meet its short-term cash requirement. The purpose of this modification of terms and reduction or deferral in payment is to help the debtor improve its financial condition and eventually be able to pay the creditor. The second type of transaction...

...Department of Public Administration Name: Muhammad Raheel Sheikh Roll No. 44 Subject: Psychology Title: Assignment; Science of Happiness Submitted to: Azra Anjum “Happiness is the meaning and purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence.” ~ Aristotle “Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.” ~ Mohandas Gandhi * What is happiness? “Happiness is deceptively simple. It’s about being satisfied with life and experiencing more positive emotions than negative ones.” Every living being in this world seeks happiness whether he/she is aware of it or not. It is the meaning and purpose of life. Happiness seems to have almost magical properties. We have not got proof, but the science suggests it leads to long life, health, resilience and good performance. Still, many of us find the pursuit of happiness to be frustratingly difficult. A relatively new branch of psychology called positive psychology is studying what makes people happy—and what doesn’t. Researchers are learning that the keys to happiness are within everyone’s reach. * Three basic sources of happiness Happier people are more likely to live longer and tend to be healthier, more successful, and more socially engaged than people who describe themselves as less happy. Researchers have explored three basic sources of happiness: genetics, including temperament and personality; life circumstances, such as...

...experienced and the skills used to resolve them. Problems Client problems can be thought of, defined, and approached in many ways using various theories. The theory used or the view or approach taken to define the client’s problems can often times determine the approach to the resolution of the problem. No matter the approach, defining the problem that the client is experiencing is very much an essential step in defining the client. Two of these theories are the developmental approach and the situational approach. Taking the developmental approach is a way to view problems from a perspective that looks at the client’s life span and takes into consideration certain developmental milestones throughout that life span. It also considers the life crises they have experienced during that time, as well as tasks they have completed both successfully and unsuccessfully. Unsuccessfully completed tasks may indicate that the situation did not allow for the client to develop in the manner for them to move successfully from one stage to the next in their life span. This can often be a contributing factor to their difficulty in resolving their problem. Trust issues, insecurities, and the unwillingness to assume moral responsibility inability can all stem from developmental issues. The situational approach describes problems that are a result of incidents that are out of the client’s control. Accidents and other traumatic events such as violent crimes, abuse, natural disasters, and divorce...

...CHAPTER I • INTRODUCTION • Asthma is a long-term, inflammatory condition that affects the lung, which results to a difficulty of breathing of a person experiencing it (Morris, 2011). According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 235 million people worldwide are affected by asthma. Asthma is the most common chronic disease in children. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) , the number of people with asthma increased by 4.3 million from 2001 to 2009 and that during this time period, asthma rates rose the most (almost 50 percent) in black children. In 2007, asthma was linked to 3,447 deaths in the United States. (Morris, 2011) Severe asthma is a serious health concern that can lead to respiratory failure. Each year in the United States, as many as 470,000 people seek hospital treatment for asthma-related symptoms and the disease causes about 5000 deaths. Despite its prevalence, experts differ in the definition of the disease. Clinical authorities typically favor a broad, comprehensive definition. The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, defines asthma as: "A chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways (which causes recurrent episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness and coughing, particularly at night or in the early morning) usually associated with widespread but variable airflow obstruction that is often reversible, either spontaneously or with treatment...

...blow to each one’s self-esteem. Both feel they have failed as spouses and, if there are children, as parents (Demo and Fine 2010). They may question their ability to get along well in a remarriage. Yet each has particular difficulties that are related to the sometimes different circumstances of men and women. In this discussion, we are primarily speaking of divorced men and women who are parents. Her Divorce Women who were married longer, particularly those oriented to traditional gender roles, lose the identity associated with their husband’s status. Getting back on their feet may be particularly difficult for older women, who usually have few opportunities for meaningful career development and limited opportunities to remarry (Yin 2008). Women of the baby boom generation and later have usually had significant work experience, so they may find it easier to reenter the work world, if they are not already there. Divorced mothers who retain sole custody of their children often experience severe overload as they attempt to provide not only for financial self-support but also for the day-to-day care of their children. Monitoring and supervising children as a single parent is especially difficult (Braver, Shapiro, and Goodman 2006). Mothers’ difficulties are aggravated by lingering gender discrimination in employment, promotion, and salaries and by the high cost of child care. They may have less education and work experience than their ex-husbands. All in all, custodial mothers...
