...Amber Wells Ac 1010637 Assignment 7 English Comp II 7/7/2013 Online Shopping Vs. Traditional Shopping Humans have several different beloved past times such as sports, vacations and entertainment. One of the oldest and most enduring is shopping which encompasses shopping for necessity and shopping for pleasure. Advancements in technology have allowed humanity to purchase items online through the Internet. The purpose of this essay is to compare and contract shopping online to traditional shopping. At the end of the essay you can decide which method is best for you. Traditional and online shopping allow the consumer to view the items; however, not all online websites allow the consumers to get a panoramic view. Visual appeal is one of the important aspects of attracting potential buyers but if they can’t see the item from all sides this may hinder the purchase. Traditional and online shopping provides the consumer with information about the products. In the traditional arena the customer can talk with the sales clerk and get information about the products right in the store. Online the customer has at least three ways to collect information about the product: (1) product description, (2) product reviews and (3) toll free numbers to the customer service line associated with the websites. Traditional shopping and online shopping allow personal interaction; however, the levels are varied. Traditional shopping allows the consumer to build a relationship with...

...The Effects of Mass Media on Adolescents Kelsey Wyatt Western Governors University Abstract This Paper contents reviews of several studies conducted on the effects of mass media on children and adolescents. Most of the research suggests that over exposure and unsupervised use of mass media outlets can alter the psychological development of children, as well as create anxieties in adolescents. All of the researched reviewed examines the effects of all media other than book content. Research has shown that consuming too much mass media at a young age can alter the social and psychological structure of adolescents. Mass media can even desensitize youth to unhealthy behavior and effect their education. One of the more noticeable changes in the 21st century has been the growing media consumption, availability and influence. A major consequence of this growing influence is the negative effect it can have on a children’s well-being. Parents no longer have to worry about the influence of “bad” friends but the “virtual” bad influence readily at the fingertips of their children. According to the U.S. census over 80% of adolescents own at least one form of media technology (Comer 2008). The use of this technology is increasing every year with text messages and social networking being an easy access to both youths and adults. A survey was conducted in 2010 by the Kaiser Family Foundation on daily media usage. The survey found that children 8 to 18 logged an average of 6 hour media...

Though it is a time consuming item to make, the recipe is fairly simple and the finished product, a succulent tasty Pork Shoulder, is very much worth the wait. Below I will advise of the preparation techniques and ingredients needed to make this mouth watering dish. This recipe will serve approximately 8 people. The approximate active preparation time is 20 minutes and the approximate inactive preparation time is about 5 hours 30 minutes, plus marinating time.

Note that all the ingredients I use are from GOYA, with the exception of the salt and pernil, which is best gotten from your local butcher. If you don't have local butcher, a supermarket bought pork shoulder will do. The ingredients are listed below: * 1 skin on, bone in pork...

...The Effects of Culture on International Banking Disclosures George Hooia* aGriffith University, Australia Abstract This paper investigates the influence of national culture on banking disclosures. Seventeen developed and developing countries with a representative sample of 37 listed domestic commercial banks were examined in 2004. Long-term orientation is found to be a non-significant cultural value with banking disclosures. The explanatory power for banking disclosures is found to be similar to the findings in Gray and Vint (1995) with a cross-section of industries. More importantly, this study recommends that long-term orientation should not be used as part of the cultural framework for disclosures due to bias data. Hence, Gray’s (1988) hypothesis on the secrecy / transparency dimension should be maintained with respect to the original four cultural values. JEL Classification: G21, M41, O57 Keywords: Culture, banking disclosures, transparency 1. Introduction The objective of this paper is to report on the empirical findings of the two research questions proposed by Hooi (2004) that may improve the Gray and Vint (1995) model of cultural influence on accounting disclosures. The first proposal was that extending the Gray and Vint study with the new inclusion of Hofstede and Bond’s (1988) cultural value of long-term orientation gives the opportunity to better understand the association between national culture and accounting disclosures. The second proposal...

...A Survey analysis for the scopes of securitization in India Submitted By Group 8, Section 2 – Shitiz Singhal Shivam Goel Siddharth Sagar Subrat Singh Sumit Mittal Surya Kiran Sharma A Survey analysis for the scopes of securitization in India Introduction to securitization Financial sector’s primary role is intermediation between ultimate savers and ultimate investors. Initially, it was banks which were the intermediaries. As the financial sector evolved, other types of financial institutions came on the scene to undertake such intermediation directly, or between and among other intermediaries. A parallel development is the emergence of varieties of financial products, far removed from simple deposits and advances, delivering such intermediation. Securitization, as we all know, is among the latest of such intermediating product. Securitization is basically defined as a financial practice of taking illiquid assets and pooling various types of contractual debts like residential mortgage, commercial mortgages, auto loans, credit card debt obligations and selling them as securities to third party investors which may be described as bonds, pass-through securities, or collateralized debt obligations (CDOs). Securitization helps in diversifying the credit market as the process of lending and borrowing is broken into several discrete leading to economies of scale. Consider the case of a limited company and its financing advantages over a partnership firm. A partnership...

...CHAPTER I: INTRODUCTION 1. THEME OF THE STUDY Risk management underscores the fact that the survival of an organization depends heavily on its capabilities to anticipate and prepare for the change rather than just waiting for the change and react to it. The objective of risk management is not to prohibit or prevent risk taking activity, but to ensure that the risks are consciously taken with full knowledge, purpose and clear understanding so that it can be measured and mitigated. It also prevents an institution from suffering unacceptable loss causing an institution to suffer or materially damage its competitive position. Functions of risk management should actually be bank specific dictated by the size and quality of balance sheet, complexity of functions, technical/ professional manpower and the status of MIS in place in that bank. 1.2 INTRODUCTION Risk: the meaning of ‘Risk’ as per Webster’s comprehensive dictionary is “a chance of encountering harm or loss, hazard, danger” or “to expose to a chance of injury or loss”. Thus, something that has potential to cause harm or loss to one or more planned objectives is called Risk. The word risk is derived from an Italian word “Risicare” which means “To Dare”. It is an expression of danger of an adverse deviation in the actual result from any expected result. Banks for International Settlement (BIS) has defined it as- “Risk is the threat that an event or action will adversely affect an organization’s ability...

...How is farcical humour used in Blackadder? (Target from last piece: consider your points and whether they are fully representative of the character) “Blackadder” takes brief snapshots from arguably Britain’s darkest periods in history, in this series the First World War, and uses humour in adversity. Due to the distance from the event, the audience is able to witness the experience of the front line from a different, and arguably more human perspective. Extravagant, melodramatic characters such as Melchett act serve the dual purpose of being both humorous and serve to the greater effect of providing a (belated) scathing social commentary. Likewise, underneath both George’s seemingly indestructible patriotism and Baldrick’s brainlessness, the audience are presented with two soldiers who are heedless to the realities of the war. Moreover, Blackadder’s use of epigrammatic humour further illustrates the incompetence of the commanding class above him. Lord Melchett is unintelligent, pompous and completely ignorant of the fact that the men are terrified of their impending deaths. When visiting the front line, Melchett patronisingly asks, as if addressing an “intelligent foreigner”, “Are-you-looking-forward-to-the-big-push?” He has no concept of soldiers' fear, and cannot understand why Blackadder and Baldrick are reluctant to fight (and presumably die) in a plan that is ridiculous to the point of being hyperbolic. Even asking if Baldrick is “looking forward” to going over the top...

...The pros and cons of regulating corporate reporting:A critical review of the arguments Robert Bushman, Wayne R. Landsman Accounting and Business ResearchVol. 40, Iss. 3, 2010 Introduction There were a series of scandals in the UK in the 90’s which resulted in the collapse of Barings Bank, due to this the Financial Services Authority changed the structure of financial regulation that consolidated regulation responsibilities. The aftermath of the financial crisis of 2007 to 2009 has drawn the financial accounting standard setting into the orbit of political processes focused on restructuring the regulation of the world’s financial markets. The crisis has ignited worldwide debate on issues of systemic risk and the role played by financial regulation in creating exacerbating the crisis. There have been proposals for how to regulate the financial markets and financial institutions should be changed to ease the potential for large scale financial meltdowns in the future. There are many aspects of the financial system under debate, including the alleged role played by financial accounting standards in deepening the trajectory of the crisis. The crisis has forced politicians, regulators and economists to scrutinise financial accounting standards and create pressure for change, which creates an opportune moment to consider how to organise the analysis of efficient regulatory choice. This paper lays out the basic arguments that have been put forth both for and against...
