...A famous quote I have heard by J.C. Watts is, “Character is doing the right thing when nobody’s looking.” That is something that my parents taught me as a young child. I have also been told to treat someone the way I would like to be treated, and I try to live by those mottos to this day. My parents told me that I should not follow everyone else’s actions and to be my own person. Sometimes it can be difficult because in the real world not everyone is easy to get along with and there can be so many ways to fall into peer pressure. When I was younger, I was always taught that if I did not do the right thing something bad would happen. I heard the same thing everywhere I went. If I was not going to obey my parents when I was told to do something, I would be sent to my room for a time out. If I did not listen to what my teacher said, I would be sitting in a desk bored out of my mind after school to serve a detention. If I told a sin at church, I would go to Hell and not Heaven. So, my parents brainwashed me into doing the right thing at a young age. That made it really easy for me to get along with almost everybody because everyone loves a goodie goodie when you are little. I am a pretty easy going person because it is important to get along with as many people as possible. I like to live in the moment and have fun. I am almost always happy because creating a positive vibe with the people surrounding me is extremely important. Nobody wants anyone else being rude to them, so...

Here are some tips to help you prepare a better proposal. Before you begin preparation of your proposal, carefully read the “Request for Proposals” (RFP) and “Frequently Asked Questions” (FAQs) to clearly understand the issues to be addressed and the information you are required to submit. All proposals must include certain basic information. These basics include: Why are you doing this project? What will you be doing? How will you be doing it? Who will be doing it? Where will it be done? How long will it take? How much will it cost? The following generic proposal template is provided for guidance only. The USISTF does not require a specific format. Follow this format in organizing your thoughts for preparing your proposal. Executive Summary: Some people consider this the most important part of the proposal because it is the reviewer’s first impression. Even though it appears first, write it last because it is a summary of the proposal. The executive summary is a concise description of the project covering objectives, need, methodology, and dissemination plans. It should identify the expected outcomes of the project. An executive summary should be less than 750 words and fit on one page. Need: Well-documented description of the problem to be addressed and why it is important...

They had been asking for such a long time that paint job that I took matters into action and did that, went to the store with my mom and helped her chose a new living room set.

...With the temptations that surround daily life, reflecting upon Noah’s great strength of character is a sustaining force to guide us. Even though my divine faith will not ever be as strong as Noah’s, and it is not likely that I shall ever build an ark, my faith increases with Noah as my standard bearer. We can only imagine the scorn, ridicule and contempt that Noah experienced while living in a desert and building a huge boat, yet by faith he continued. Not only was Noah uniquely righteous and possessed of strong faith, but he also was implicit in his obedience in doing what he was commanded. Many times we know what we ought to do but are remising in doing it. Not only did Noah take on the colossal of building the ark, but he wisely kept an accurate log of important events during his stay in the ark. VOISIN 2 Perhaps, to me, one of the most meaningful examples of Noah was in his implicit obedience in doing what he was commanded. Many times we shirk or cut corners in matters we know we should not do or fall short in completing the tasks. However, Noah’s example was to not only finish the task but he did more – all the days in the ark, he wisely...

...get disturbed. The trio responsible for the act never appeared to have done any wrong doings before. Though it is appearing true he has to cross check genuineness of the story narrated to him because of the sensitivity of the issue. He first needs to assure Ms. Chauhan that he will take care of the issue and stop her from reporting to the police. If Ms. Chauhan reports to police the situation will become worse. The news will not only bring down employee confidence but also affect country’s reputation in some or the other way. His future business relations will also get affected. As it is still a week before the event, he has enough time to confirm the allegations. As stated, one of the three persons was glaring at Ms. Chauhan when she went to have lunch. If the trio is doing this intentionally they will repeat it again. This could be a case of misunderstanding due to country specific culture differences. If this is the case he needs to make Ms. Chahan understand that this can happen in any hospitality profession. On the other hand, if she (Ms. Chauhan) is correct than looking at his (Me. Verma) ethical behavior it is essential for him to take action which will strengthen employee confidence towards employer. This would increase employee dedication for work when they hear about the issue. This will reflect his responsibility to protect any misbehavior when his employees are doing the job as it was the case with Ms. Chauhan. Considering the business, any hospitality service...

...With Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston, it’s always something. For multiple reasons. At times, it’s always something because there’s always something he’s doing that attracts scrutiny. At other times, it’s always something because the media scrutinizes him more closely than other young players. Regardless, anything Winston does that is remotely controversial will now become a headline. Case in point: Something Winston did on Thursday night became the top item for Richard Deitsch’s weekly sports media column. As explained by Deitsch, Winston deliberately circumvented a ping-pong arrangement between NFL Network and ESPN regarding dibs on interviewing the first pick in the draft. This year, it was ESPN’s turn to go first. But Winston decided not to let ESPN go first. According to Deitsch, Winston’s camp “was upset at the network’s overall coverage of the top pick prior to the draft.” Winston’s agent predictably told Deitsch that “it was simply our preference that his first interview be with NFL Network”; however, there’s no reason to dispute Deitsch’s reporting that Winston and company retaliated, at least a little, against the four-letter network. Winston’s agent downplayed the snub, explaining that ESPN got its interview a “few seconds later.” But the damage was done. Deitsch explains that, by the time ESPN got the interview, the draft had progressed several picks beyond Winston. So the interview wasn’t played by ESPN until after the first round ended. On one...

...Would you want to be an olympian? Do you have what it takes? Well here are my reasons why I would not want to be an olympian. My first reason is practice. My second reason is competition. And my third reason is patience. So here are my three reasons on why I would not want to be an olympian. My first reason is practice. To be an olympian you have to practice a lot. Like a lot. You probably would have to practice everyday for at least 2 hours. And since the olympics happen every 4 years you would be practicing non stop for 4 years. And you would also get really tired and have to wake up early and stay up late. You would also have to balance what you eat because you would have to stay in shape.

...experience helping businesses in every sector easily and cost-effectively manage their iXBRL transition, We spoke to Jon D'Arcy of KPMG in Ireland, and asked him about the iXBRL experience in the U.K., and why getting iXBRL right first time is so important for Irish businesses. "The Revenue in the U.K. introduced XBRL two years ago, and the Revenue in the U.K. just made an announcement to say anybody who submits accounts in the U.K. with incorrect tags, or not a great effort at tagging, that they're more susceptible to get their accounts audited by the Revenue, so it's definitely a point for people to think about, that OK, this may be a burden, but it's an important burden to make sure you get right." It all sounds quite complex, and doing it yourself potentially costly and time-consuming, so what choices are open to Irish-based businesses, and how can KPMG help? "There's two main approaches really; you can adopt what's called an accounts preparation...
