...of staples may not be important, because the staples are not a material item. Materiality is means the items that is trivial for the business (Wood & Sangster 2008). Reliability “Accounting information is reliable to extent that users can depend on it to represent the economic conditions or events that it purports to represent (Gary & Curtis 2009)”. Reliability of information means that the information is free of error and bias. For example: * Faithful representation Faithful representation is very important to provide the transactions and others event in accounting information. It is also to disclosure the risk of error surrounding recognitions and measurement (John, etal 2006). For example: the Sear, Roebuck’s have the $60billion of the sales, then the Sear, Roebuck’s should reports the $60billion sales on the income statement. If not the income statement is not faithful representation (Weygandt, etal 2003). * Substance over form If the information is to faithfully represent transaction and other events, then it is...

...events lies ahead. John of Plano Carpini, William of Rubruck, Rabban Sauma, and Marco Polo were four of these explorers in 1200s. Each of these travelers had different agenda but what made them important and famous were the different stories they brought back home and the knowledge gain from these trips. Each mission was different and some of them didn’t even have missions or an agenda, it was just to travel. This paper illustrates the travel of the four explorers and whether or not they succeed on what they were told to do or if the mission was just a waste of years of traveling. John of Plano Carpini was chosen by Pope Innocent IV to head the mission of convincing the Mongols to not attack and conquering Europe as they had with many other countries due to their strong army. John already sixty-five at this time wasn’t the likely candidate to go on this mission but with his good Christian background, the Pope believes he was the one that can stop the Mongols. John’s political incentive was to stop the Mongol from invading any more of Europe. John wanted to form some type of treaty that would allow the two sides to not fight against one another but rather fight against the Holy Roman Emperor who the Pope was fighting against. John’s secondary purpose was to learn any of the Mongol’s military tactics that can be used by the Pope to counter on if the treaty was not arranged. Not knowing the decisions of the Mongols, John decides to leave and to return home. John survived the long...

...Tyrone’s rebellion in Ireland (1595-1603). The importance of the people involved in the rebellions was essentially the most important factor in the severity of the rebellions. The difference of having one noblemen or gentry to a rebellion was crucial, as realistically a band of angry peasants with minimal weapons are never going to overthrow an established powerful monarch. The involvement of nobleman brought military equipment, soldiers and financial support to a rebellion along with showing a great deal of discount towards the monarch and therefore making the rebellion more serious. Furthermore a key example of this would be Ketts rebellion regarding taxation in 1549.The Kett rebelion was originally a peasant’s revolt in Norfolk, during Edward vi reign. The revolt was largely in response to enclosure of lands. Beginning at Wymondem on the 8th of July 1549 with a small group of rebels destroying fences that had been put up by wealthy land owners. Most importantly Robert Kett, the fourth son of Tom and Margery, Robert Kett was a substantial landowner and a powerful in Norfolk. He possessed several manors, and had even engaged in a couple of land deals with the Earl of Warwick, which would prove rather ironic as events turned out. Kett instead...

...especially in the developing of the British Parliament. It plays the leading role in the political life of Great Britain. It passes laws, provides the means of carrying work of the government, scrutinizes government policy and administration, including proposals for expenditure; debates the major issues of the day. In my wok I try to look at the history of this undoubtedly important body of authority. The events that took place in England in the XIII century turned out to be the main influence on the formation and the rise of Parliament that exists to the very moment. THE GREAT CHARTER - MAGNA CARTA Richard I’s absence in the Holy Land and the expense of crusade the weakened power of the Crown in England. When his brother John became a king, he lacked the money to defend the English lands in France successfully. The meanness and cruelty of his character added to his unpopularity stimulated a heavy disapproval from the point of the Church; the power then belonged to Pope Innocent III. As a result in 1215 on June 15 the army of the Holy Pope supported by barons and led by the citizens of London came up to the capital. The Church and the barons had their own, certain intentions. Innocent III wanted the Church to be absolutely independent from the English government and the barons didn’t...

...Ethics Essay Chris Espinoza ETH 216 July 8, 2014 Ellen Kennedy Bob witnesses a crime committed by John, and is debating on how he should approach the situation. According to Kant's "deontological ethics" everyone who has a good will, will follow universal law without regard to the consequences. So Bob should follow the law, report a crime and the perpetrator to the police, and "disregard the possible consequence" of, perhaps, losing his good friend John. So, hard and fast, on Kant's deontology/duty ethics, John gets reported to the police by his friend Bob. According to Aristotle, philosophers and other sorts of virtuous people must regard the truth above our friends, even though both friends and truth are dear to us. However, Aristotle is not so "rule bound strict", as Kant. Aristotle would certainly counsel that Bob leave his name, address and phone number with the other witness. But he might recommend that Bob attempt to convince his friend, John, to come forward and admit the crime. If John didn't come to his senses (actual reason) and admit his crime, Aristotle would counsel Bob to tell the truth, when forced to by the law and reason, since a true friend would never leave Bob to face the consequences of his own unwise/illegal act all alone. Finally, utilitarian would probably also agree that Bob should give John's name to the police. The police will be happier to get that name. The other witness will be happy if Bob gives the name. Even Bob may be happier if he...

...Liberty University The Contribution of Baptists in the Struggle for Religious Freedom A Research Paper Submitted to Dr. Jason J. Graffagnino in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Course CHHI 665 Liberty University Baptist Theological Seminary by Brian M. Hyde Lynchburg, Virginia Saturday, December 6, 2014 CONTENTS INTRODUCTION 1 IN THE BEGINNING 2 THE STRUGGLE IN ENGLAND 4 THE STRUGGLE MOVES TO THE NEW WORLD 7 CONCLUSION 11 WORKING BIBLIOGRAPHY 14 INTRODUCTION In this nation, and in much of the Western world, the right of each individual to worship as his or her own conscience dictates, or not to worship at all, is one that is all too often taken for granted. Few consider the tremendous lengths gone to and the enormous price paid by so many to obtain and preserve this right. In the United States when one does reflect on this matter his or her thoughts rightfully focus on the many men and women of the armed forces who fought to gain and keep the freedoms the citizens of this nation enjoy. What is often overlooked is the contributions of Baptists in the centuries long struggle to obtain religious freedom. Their struggle began not in the American colonies but rather in England a century earlier. “The freedom of religious belief and behavior which modern Baptists and others take for granted was forged in the crucible of persecution in seventeenth-century England” McBeth adds that, “No group can claim more credit for the Act of Toleration, passed by Parliament...

...The John F. Kennedy Assassination On November 22, 1963 President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested for the murder. It is believed that Lee Harvey Oswald was not the only one involved with the crime. There are countless theories on how President Kennedy was murdered. Some of the theories include the FBI, CIA, and the mob being involved. The Warren commission said that they believe that it was solely Lee Harvey Oswald who killed President Kennedy. Most of the evidence shows that Lee Harvey Oswald could not be the only one involved. John F. Kennedy was the fourth United States President to be assassinated. Even today, there remains tremendous debate on who was responsible for the murder of Kennedy. The assassination of President Kennedy has started many different conspiracy theories about who was involved with the murder. President Kennedy wanted to travel to Dallas, Texas to help strengthen his vote for the upcoming election and also to gain more Democratic Party members. Before Kennedy went on the trip there was some concern about a sniper being on top of a building. President Kennedy also made comments before he was killed about his safety in a convertible car. The car President Kennedy was driving in was a 1963 Lincoln Continental open top limo. Sergeant Davis of the Dallas police department was the one who made sure the city was secure whenever any President or foreign leader came to Dallas. The secret service agent who...

...Scott Carpenter, Gordon Cooper, John Glenn, Gus Grissom, Wally Schirra, Alan Shepard, and Deke Slayton. Emphasis is given to the personal stories of the astronauts and their wives rather than the technical aspects of space travel and the flights themselves. The storyline also involves the political reasons for putting people into space, asserting that the Mercury astronauts were actually a burden to the program and were only sent up for promotional reasons. Reasons for including living beings in spacecraft are barely touched upon, but the first option considered was to use a chimpanzee (and, indeed, chimpanzees were sent up first). Another option considered were athletes already accustomed to physical stress, such as circus trapeze artists. Wolfe states that President Dwight D. Eisenhower, however, insisted on pilots, even though the first crew members would not actually fly the spacecraft. When Gus Grissom lands at sea and exits his space capsule, saving the capsule seems more important to the recovery team than saving the pilot because of the value of the data. Wolfe contrasts the Seven with the Edwards test pilots, among whom was Chuck Yeager, who was shut out of the astronaut program after NASA officials decided to use college-degreed pilots, not ones who gained their commissions as enlisted men, such as participants in the USAAF Flying Sergeants Program in World War II. Chuck Yeager spent time with Tom Wolfe explaining accident reports "that Wolfe kept getting all wrong...

...terrestrial sightings can have an adverse effect on people if influenced the wrong way. No solid proof has shown that UFO's are real, but many sightings cannot be proven otherwise. The media, stories, or one's own experience may often influence what one believes. The government once stated that they had captured extra terrestrials. (60 minutes, CBS) On the contrary, most scientists now agree that almost all sightings and stories of extra terrestrials are not authentic. The United States government has records of thousands of UFO sightings since 1948, including photos of alleged UFOs and interviews with people who claim to have seen them. Since UFOs were considered a potential security risk, the report on these sightings was originally classified as secret. (Craig, 917) When the report was later declassified it showed that 90 percent of all UFO sightings could be easily explained. Most of the sightings turned out to be celestial objects, such as stars or bright planets like Venus, or atmospheric events such as auroras or meteors falling through the atmosphere. Many other sightings turned out to be objects such as weather balloons, satellites, aircraft lights, or formations of birds. Often these sightings were accompanied by unusual weather conditions. Only 5.6 percent of these cases were not explained. Testimonies by people are often very inaccurate and dramatized. People have the tendency to explain everything they see, which is not usually completely accurate. The unaided...
