...developed the Financial Accounting Standards Board Codification Research System (CRS). “CRS is an online real-time database that provides easy access to the Codification. The Codification and the related CRS provide a topically organized structure, subdivided into topic, subtopics, sections, and paragraphs, using a numerical index system.” (Kieso, Weygandt, & Warfield, 2010, p 14) CRS can be used to research GAAP information such as accounting policies, comprehensive income, net income, other comprehensive income, and reclassification adjustments. Definitions of accounting policies can be found in two ways on CRS website, asc.fasb.org/home. Definitions can be found in the Master Glossary. The link to the Master Glossary is the last entry in the far left column. Definitions can also be found in the Glossary link under each specific topic. For example, comprehensive income is defined as: The change in equity (net assets) of a business entity during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from nonowner sources. It includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. CRS furnishes information on which authoritative literature/standard addresses specific topics, subtopics, sections and paragraphs listed in the Codification. For example, GAAP regarding comprehensive income is addressed in FASB statement number 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, which was issued in June 1997. The standard/authoritative...

...instead, believing in one God and following the law set forth by God is what makes them good Jews. Jewish law is known as Halakah. Halakah is a term derived from the Hebrew word Halakh “to walk.” Halakah is the legal system which points out the way of life for the Jewish people, following the statement, “enjoin upon the laws and the teachings, and make known to them the way they are to go and the practices they are to follow” (EX 18:20)[2]. Halakah is one of the important ground for Jews for the strict adherence of religious laws. Orthodox Judaism basically accepts Halakhah as an unchanging corpus of law [3]. Minor differences of interpretation are tolerated in accordance with the historical customs that have evolved in local communities. Noteworthy are Ashkenazic and Sephardic customs that inadvertently perpetuate Jewish ethnicity. Conservative Judaism is more flexible in introducing religious change, while the reform and reconstructive Judaism reject Halakhah as a mandatory system dictating contemporary behavior. Not a majority of Jews in the world adheres strictly to Jewish laws, with Israel having a high percentage of followers of Jewish Laws. For instance, the sectors of Judaism which consider Halakah as a mandatory system, they does not accept intermarriages, and the sectors which rejects Halakah accepts intermarriages – Note: some of the sectors who does not follow Halakah still does not accept intermarriage but their reason is based upon...

...In this article, Connor argues that there are two types of nations and nationalism—the civic and the ethnic. He says that civic nations emphasize the importance of long-term residence, the unity of laws, institutions and rights over the whole territory. This type of nation favors the role of a public, civic culture “for all citizens which embodies the myths, memories and symbols of the nation.” The ethnic conception of a nation stresses the importance of ancestry for citizenship and the centrality of language, customs and culture. The argument here is that no nation or nationalism can be seen as purely one or the other, even if at certain moments one or the other of these traits predominates in the components of national identity.

...Marketing Research 101 Introduction D Market Research For more information contact: uring the last meeting of the Market Research Working Group (MRWG) it was suggested that the volunteer members could use an overview or summary of marketing research terminology and methods. This paper is by no means a comprehensive view of marketing research, but rather a basic primer intended to familiarize members of the MRWG to basic marketing research concepts. What is Marketing Research? Marketing research is a systematic process that collects, analyzes and draws conclusions from data gathered from consumers, business owners, or other groups of interest. Types of Marketing Research There are different types of Marketing Research and each type has its place in attempting to answer questions and meet the needs of an organization. Marketing research can be broken down many ways. One of the most common is to group research into quantitative versus qualitative methodology. Qualitative Research Qualitative research is usually exploratory in nature and is useful for uncovering insights into research questions that may not be well defined or no previous research has been done in the area. Methodologies include focus groups, in-depth one-on-one interviews, observation, etc. Qualitative research is defined by: • • • • • Smaller sample sizes (i.e. < 30 respondents) Non-random sample (i.e. respondents chosen based on their willingness to attend) Less structured/Open-ended...

...Om.svg Hindu History Concepts[show] Schools[show] Deities[show] Scriptures[show] Practices[show] Gurus, saints, philosophers[show] Other topics[show] Glossary of Hinduism terms Portal icon Hinduism portal v t e Hindu (About this sound pronunciation (help·info)) refers to an identity associated with the philosophical, religious and cultural systems that are indigenous to the Indian subcontinent. In common use today, it refers to an adherent of Hinduism. The two common forms that represent Hinduism are Shaivism and Vaishnavism.[1][2] The Hindu religious texts did not use the term 'Hindu' or an equivalent thereof, or any name at all for that matter to refer to the inhabitants of the Indian peninsula nor the religion of the inhabitants, in alignment within a larger lack of 'proper noun' nomenclature typically visible in texts of Hindu literature. Despite that, the history of the word 'Hindu' is long and its usage widespread, since the outside world had, since antiquity, used several names for the Indian people, specifically for the inhabitants of the Indian peninsula east of the river Indus viz. 'Indos' (Ἰνδός) used by the Greeks in the works of Herodotus and Megasthenes, circa 5th century B.C., and later 'Hindus' used first by the Persians and later on by Arabs to refer to the Indian people and their customs. 2nd century B.C. Chinese traveller Zhang Qian referred to India as Hen-tu. Chinese pilgrim Huen-Tsang in his 7th century Si-yu-ki, also used words like Shin-tu...

...will address the issues of tariffs and the social benefits that can be gained. Franchising abroad and what role a culture could play in the success of your business. When going into another country you have to ensure you did your research. You have to be considerate of the host nation to ensure your product is appropriate for them. It’s always important to be familiar with the host country’s beliefs and customs. In the United States we do a lot of foreign exchange. We are big on Sports and it’s literally a billion dollar industry. There is a responsibility to not offend anyone and have good business practices. In this paper I will explore Sports franchises abroad, ensuring franchised appropriate products and if government imposed tariffs should be on imported products. In order to increase popularity abroad the U.S must address cultural factors. In the United States Sports is very popular. When planning to branch out overseas one must take more than just the culture and desires of the U.S. into consideration. “Culture can include social structures, religion, manners and customs, values and attitudes, language, and personal communication” (Nickels, McHugh & McHugh, 2013). Many years ago this wasn’t an issue because most teams were comprised of Americans. Other factors to consider would be if they are even familiar with this sport and if so, is it played the same. No one goes into business with the intention of sinking but when you dabble into foreign soil you should be prepared...

He respects the relationship hierarchy set forth by Confucius referred to as the Five Great Relationships. In addition to the appreciation of the Five Great Relationships, it is necessary to live by five distinct virtues. The first virtue is represented by Ren. Ren can be described to the West as empathy; feeling for another human being. It is the consciousness of human relationships. The simple rule, “What you do not wish for yourself, do not do to others” (Teo, 2009). Another concept is Li. Li can be described to the West as doing what is proper.

It is considering what the...

...[pic] The Ambiguity Review Process © Richard Bender Bender RBT Inc. 17 Cardinale Lane Queensbury, NY 12804 518-743-8755 rbender@BenderRBT.com The Ambiguity Review Process Purpose: An Ambiguity Review improves the quality of requirements by making them deterministic, unambiguous, correct and complete. An Ambiguity Review is a testing technique that eliminates defects in the requirements phase of the software development lifecycle, thereby avoiding those defects from propagating to the remaining phases of the software development lifecycle. Description: Someone trained in the Ambiguity Review Process performs the Ambiguity Review. The Ambiguity Reviewer is not a domain expert, and is not reading the requirements for content, but only to identify ambiguities in the logic and structure of the wording. The Ambiguity Review takes place after the requirements (or a section of the requirements) reach first draft, and prior to them being reviewed for content, i.e., correctness and completeness by domain experts. The Ambiguity Reviewer identifies all ambiguous words and phrases on a copy of the requirements. If CaliberRM is used to capture requirements, then the ambiguities are documented directly in CaliberRM. A summary of the findings is presented to the requirements author. Deliverables: The Ambiguity Review deliverables include the following: • If the requirements are in a...

...KOREA by Tahnee Robinson Introduction In Korea, growing, harvesting, preparing, and eating food is a social event for the Korean people. The people are a large population of people that live in close proximity to each other. This fact has resulted in Koreans that live in clustered village communities outside their major cities. This type of communal lifestyle, historically, made eating one of the most important times of day in a farm home or the royal court. Although the variety and quality food differed between farmer and the royal court, the importance of Korean cuisine and meal time remained the same. Korea descended from Mongolians, and was governed by imperial dynasties since before the Common Era. Korean cooking has a distinct national identity that, in its contemporary, form combines dishes and techniques from both peasant diets and royal palace foods. Korean food is very spicy. Korean cooks in the 16th century were delighted by the chili, introduced by the Portuguese. The information used to create this paper are sources located by internet searches and one book. Please see the attached reference page. Royal Cuisine Korean royal cuisine, at one time was only enjoyed by the royal court. This type of cuisine takes from a few hours to several days to prepare. The chef harmonizes warm and cold, hot and mild, rough and soft, solid and liquid, and balances colors. The meal is served on hand-forged bronzeware. The specific arrangement of dishes alternates...
