...releasing coupons concurrently with the detergent’s launch date of December 1, 2009; therefore, requirement (a) is the later of the two dates. All of the estimated coupon redemption of $20,000 should be expensed on December 31, 2009 which would fall within CCPC’s 2009 Income Statement. 2) According to ASC 605-50-25-4, “A vendor shall recognize a liability… based on the estimated amount of refunds or rebates that will be claimed by customers. However, if the amount of future rebates or refunds cannot be reasonably and reliably estimated, a liability (or deferred revenue) shall be recognized for the maximum potential amount of the refund or rebate.” The codification then states factors that make estimates unreliable including: “a. Relatively long periods in which a particular rebate or refund may be claimed b. The absence of historical experience with similar types of sales incentive programs with similar products or the inability to apply such experience because of changing circumstances c. The absence of a large volume of relatively homogeneous transactions.” The fact that CCPC’s sales incentive is for a relatively long period of time (part a) and that CCPC has not had a large volume of similar transactions (part c) it seems as though CCPC cannot reasonably and reliably estimate coupon redemption. In this scenario CCPC would have to create a...

...The Shawshank Redemption Directed by Frank Darabont Hope: In Shawshank most of the inmates are afraid to hope. Red says “hope is a dangerous thing”. Andy is the only prisoner who believes that hope is paramount in a place like Shawshank, “you need it so you don’t forget that there are places that aren’t made of stone”. Andy tries to give hope to others through education, willingness to provide a better way of life inside the prison and by talking to Red about the future. It is Red who Andy instils hope into at the end “Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things”. By journeying to Mexico Red chooses hope over despair. The idea Darabont is trying to show the audience is that hope is the saving grace in the prison. Those who have the ability to hope are those, in the end, who will be redeemed. It is strongly contrasted with the idea of despair which so many of the prisoners face. Andy, initially, is the only one with the ability to hope and he tries to teach the others how to do this. Only hope has the power to redeem the human spirit. Tagline: Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free. Symbols of hope: harmonica, music, bright light Institutionalism: Red defines being institutionalised “These walls are funny. First you hate them, then you get used to them. Enough time passes you get to depend on them. That’s institutionalised”. His analysis of Brooks foreshadows the man he may become by the end of the film. Red must choose whether or not he...

I can exercise my ability of thinking when I watch suspense movies. My brain is thinking when I watch that movies in a whole time. And I really admire creator of that kind of movies, they are genius and so smart. Let me talk about this kind of movies I dislike, horror movies. Somebody say watch horror movies can release pressure and relax themselves, but I do not think so. I am so upset and afraid when I see something about horror movies, even a playbill or a soundtrack. I do not know why so many people like watching horror movies. My favorite movie is called The Shawshank Redemption. I think so many people have seen this movie. This is an old movie which shown in 1994, I was 2 years old in that year. I watched it some months ago; the story really shocked me indeed. The story is about a banker called Andy; he was falsely charged with murdered his wife and his wife’s lover. He used 19 years to prepare escape from prison, and he used a small hammer to dig a tunnel to go out of prison. Furthermore, he was rich and helped his friend in prison after he got out, because of his 19-year preparing in prison. Andy is so smart and full of willpower, I admire him very much. I see the grade of this movie on a website is 9.5 (total grade is 10), This demonstrates the great mass of people all...

...Batman – The Dark Knight Rises 1. What do we see in the opening scene (the prologue)? What tone/atmosphere does the opening scene set? W eget introduced to the villian/terrorist. Action-packed. 2. What kind of place is Gotham City? (what does it look like?) Much like New York. 3. Make a character sketch of Batman/Bruce Wayne and focus on his development. To what extent can Batman be said to be a vigilante? Quite withdrawn. Not very social like he was in the movies before. He sees that Gotham is under attack and even though he has retired, he feels a commitment to protect his city. Batman is definitely a vigilante. Takes matters into his own hands. 4. Compare Batman to Bilbo. They are both on a mission. Which similarities/dissimilarities do you see? Batman is more like a ”serious” and obvious hero. Fighting hard with incredible powers. Bilbo is a more nice and ”lucky” type. Most of the things he experiences is accidentialy. 5. We know that adventurous blood runs in Bilbo’s veins (the Took side). What ’drives’ Batman on his mission? He is sort of the citys protector. He has a responsibility. 6. Characterise Bane (briefly) Pretty determined and intelligent. Ruthless. 7. What similarities/dissimilarities (in The Hobbit and The Dark Knight Rises) do you notice when it comes to villains? The fact that The hobbit is whole other genre compared the dark knight rises. The white orc is more primitive, but still powerfull where...

...Title: Immigrants at Central Station Composer: Peter Skrzynecki Source: Poem Date: 1975 The poem composed by Australian poet Peter Skrzynecki, Immigrants at Central Station, explores the various journeys of a family who arrives in Sydney from a migrant camp during 1951. Throughout the poem, a combination of sensory and visual imagery recreate the scene Skrzynecki’s family undertook during their immigration to Australia, describing their emotions and current environment. The purpose of this poem was to portray the mental challenges of immigrants back in 1951 and the challenges that would impose each of them personally as well as time and one’s future. This poem firmly supports the generalisation of a physical journey leading to unexpected encounters and destinations. It is most evident with the use of visual imagery in the line ‘Like a guillotine/ Cutting us off from the space of eyesight’ that suggests the intensity and uncertainty of the final destination and expectations of the persona in this poem. Skrynecki uses this line to emphasise on another generalisation of a journey encompassing sudden changes as this line illustrates the swiftness of the alteration of their journey, as well as the use of juxtaposition of that event to that of “along glistening tracks of steel’ symbolising hope and freedom. This creates a powerful effect through the sudden contrast of two intensely different situations. Immigrants at Central station also portray the notion of inner journeys...

...your mind when you are in a trying situation, incapable of digging your way out of it? One word, hope. Hope is like that ray of positivity that states that anything can truly be possible if you have enough of it to push you through any dire predicament; another synonym of hope is the word faith. Without any of these qualities instilled within a person how would they learn to move past obstacles thrown at them in life? Surely, without hope, one would be a lost, wandering soul with no aim whatsoever in life. In the movie, Shawshank Redemption by Frank Darabont, it determines hope being a vital thing. It proves to us that every day that we live is based on the hopes of doing better, the glimmer of faith that brightens our dullest moments and paves our ways to success especially during times of stress and misfortune. After watching the move, it got me thinking just how pivotal hope is and how it could vastly affect our everyday lives. Shawshank Redemption centers around 3 prisoners, Andy, Red and Brook who’ve bonded over one common dream through one common quality – it was to get out of prison with hope. Andy was faultily convicted for life for a crime he allegedly didn’t commit, which was for the death of his wife. During his time in prison, he’d experience bouts of loneliness and isolation but them comes to the realization that with hope and a little tactful thinking, he’d get out of jail. Andy becomes friends with the prison ‘fixer’ Red, which was a character who’d frequently...

...September 12, 2012 G. Grunow English 131 A State of Trance “Hanady! Hanady! Hey where’s Hanady, she isn’t responding.” “She must be upstairs listening to music.” Music to me is almost like a third language. It not only provides insight but it allows me to feel as if I’m in another world. Music comes in many forms from rap, r&b, rock, pop, and many more but nothing speaks to me more than the power of trance. Trance is a genre of music that alters a mix of electric dance and repeated lyrics and beats. Throughout my school years I managed to have many friends but ones who weren’t really setting me up for a good future. I would do things, such as homework and studies, at my own pace and school wasn’t my first priority. It was fall of 2009, when my cousin Jay, introduced me to the world of trance. I remember that very first song he had me listen to called “On a good day” by Oceanlab. After hearing it several times I almost felt as if I were able to escape from the world I was living and came to realize that it was almost my little piece of heaven. Trance makes me so relaxed and motivated when I listen to it. It was almost like a friend to me because the lyrics that came along with it were more insightful than the words that came out of my friend’s mouths I hung out with. At that point in my life I moved away from friends and moved in a better direction. Sports have been a huge part of my life. I played soccer and volleyball all throughout high school and I remember...

...Lisa Eichholz Dr. Hilary Harris English 096-10 November 10, 2011 Beyond Borders Recently there has been a dramatic increase of refugees, estimating 11 million today which is up from the 3 million that was recorded in the mid-1970s (UNHCR.com). Founded in 1919, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) is now the largest humanitarian organization. In 1965 the IFRC proclaimed the Seven Fundamental Principles of Humanitarianism. The principle of humanity, the principle of impartiality, the principle of neutrality, the principle of independence , the principle of voluntary, the principle of Unity, and lastly the principle of Universality. The film Beyond Borders follows Sarah Bauford (Angelina Jolie), Nick Callahan (Clive Owen), and a small group of aid relief volunteers working throughout a few of the world’s most volatile areas. This films greatest lesson is showing the existing needs of many people and how there are few who are there to help and trying to make a difference. This film exemplifies the most important of the principles of humanitarianism in a very complex way. In the film many of the characters exemplify the principle of humanity in both positive and negative ways. The principle states that the movements goal is to “prevent and alleviate human suffering” by promoting “understanding, friendship, cooperation, and lasting peace.” At the beginning of the film Nick Callahan storms into the aid relief international’s black...

...Shawshank Redemption Paper In society, one of the most popular forms of punishment for deviant individuals who commit criminal acts is to send them to a correctional facility. Although the rest of society has rejected this person as a result of this behavior - in a restricted setting like prison - people begin to adapt to their surroundings. Inevitably, the longer one stays in this setting, the more institutionalized people become. Criminals will soon readily accept their status as a prisoner as well as establish a new identity within this community. In the film Shawshank Redemption, this is further explored as it follows several characters who spend a significant amount of time being incarcerated. Through their time in jail, they learn to adapt to to their surroundings and essentially create a society in which they are functioning and important members. However, as the incarcerated band together, those who are in charge of them may abuse their power in an attempt to further demoralize the prisoners and increase their own personal and economic gain. By attempting to understand sociological theories such as Functionalism, one can better understand the rationale for some of the behaviors shown by the characters as portrayed in Shawshank Redemption. The ability to feel like an active member of a society offers fulfillment not only to the person initiating their role in society, but also to others around them. Without the ability to feel like a productive member of society...

It has Tim Robbins as Andy Dufresne and Morgan Freeman as Ellis Boyd Redding (also called Red) in the leading roles. Morgan Freeman is known for his slow, deep and peaceful voice, and have been the narrator in many other series and movies, and that is why he of cause also are the narrator in this movie.

...The major plots of Don't call me Ishmael all have teamwork, a major plot was when Ishmael went to his first debate team speak. Thanks to James Scobie the first debate went perfect. Ishmael was on the sideline watching and he says, “Somehow thanks to scobie, we managed to pull some kind of a case together and scramble to our first debate. Ignatius was first speaker, Orazio was second and Scobie was third. When Scobie spoke, it was like someone turning on a light in a darkened room.” (p.141, bauer, 2003).

...Red Dog is a hilarious, drama filled movie fit for the whole family. The movie Red Dog is a romantic comedy, drama, fit for the whole family. Written by Daniel Taplitz, directed by Kriv Stenders and produced by Nelson Woss and Julie Ryan. The main actors are portrayed by KoKo as Red Dog, Josh Lucas as John Grant, and Rachael Taylor as Nancy Grey. My initial impression of this film was not wanting to watch it as i don’t like animals because they always make me cry. This I was completely wrong about, yes it did make me cry but I would watch this heart melting hilarious film again a the drop of a hat. I enjoyed this film as it hooked you on the characters and storyline, it made me want to keep watching. Set in an old pub in the community of Dampier, Western Australia, in 1971 Stories of how Red Dog helped shape the town and the people in it are being told. The old dog’s story narrated by Jack collins (Noah taylor) tells of how Red Dog “A dog for everyone, but no one in particular” befriended most of the community who were miners working for Hamersley Iron. Some of his story is broken down into individual stories told by different people, about how he saved lives, was the most loyal dog anyone could ask for and how he was “Probably the most famous dog in all of Australia”. It also tells of how he found his one true master, John Grant (Josh Lucas). “And from that day Red Dog would have a master. The only master he would ever have”. John is an American bus driver who at first is...

...Classicism By Lawrence Bradshaw II UNV200 With Andrew McMurray July 27th, 2010 One of my favorite movies of all time (keep in mind that there is a very long list of “my favorite movies”) is“Shawshank Redemption”, primarily for the quote “Andy crawled to freedom through five hundred yards of sh*t, smelling foulness I can't even imagine, or maybe I just don't want to. Five hundred yards: that's the length of five football fields, just shy of half a mile, only to come out clean on the other side”. I have adapted that quote into my life and how one should deal with adversity. But, I digress. What I am going to address has nothing to do with my life or how to overcome obstacles, but how that movie demonstrated a few of the concepts of classicism, particularly for the time period, and length of time, the movie was based upon. The themes and characters in the movie “Shawshank Redemption” represent the socio-economic climate of the time. The classicism displayed in the movie did not occur until our main character was several months, up to a year, into his term. As Red, played by Morgan Freeman, starts a friendly bond with Andy, played by Tim Robbins, you can see the symmetry between them. At first, the two seem to feel each other out, although Red is more the extravert to Andy’s introversive tactics. As time progresses, what starts off as business turns into life long friendship. Red is a simple, common sense driven individual whereas Andy has the upscale businessman...
