...The Second Coming Line 1-8 * Because of the gyres the falconer cannot call his falcon home. * You can say it’s a symbol for chaos in the world – something is deeply wrong * There is no order * “The centre cannot hold” – the theme of the poem * With out this order and hierarchy the world cant function properly * Everything has turned radical (his political opinion) * The innocent are pressed with their faces in the dirt * The tide (the war) has driven away all good * It gives the reader the feeling of being rushed over that “we are drowning” * The worst and the best * Think about that time you dropped your lunch in the cafeteria and all the people you hate laughed really hard, and all your friends were too embarrassed to do anything about it. According to Yeats, Europe after the war is kind of like that. Things are so messed up that you can’t tell the good and the bad apart. * The only reason why the society fell apart is, because the people did not stand up for their religion and government. Line 9-17 * The true meaning of something is revealed – but we don’t know what * All the violence and moral confusion is a part of “The Second Coming is at hand” * The bible – Jesus will come back * Its written during the aftermath of a war – they need faith * “Spiritus Mundi” * get a glimpse of it * Collected soul of the universe, contain memories from all of time * We all have a supernatural...

...L 11 ESSAY ACC 230 - Cash Flow Methods By definition, the statement of cash flows is, “a financial statement that shows the sources and all of the uses of cash for an accounting period.” (Kemp & Waybright, 2013; 2010, p. 586) The statement of cash flows is also called the cash flow statement. Cash is the most important life line of a business. Without cash, the business cannot successfully maintain stability. Furthermore, without knowing where the cash is coming from, and going to, investors are more likely to not be attracted to the business. Businesses are much like people, in the sense that they are constantly worried about cash flow. They need a statement to explain to them where the cash is going, where it is coming from, and where they started to where they have come in the period. This is the statement of cash flows. The statement of cash flows categorizes the uses and sources of cash into three categories, operating activities, financing activities, and investing activities. The first category is operating activities. Operating activities are a part of the uses of cash, as well as, the sources of cash in a business. Uses of cash for a business are obviously how the business uses the cash, or in more basic terms how it spends its money (cash out). The sources of cash are respectively, the places the business gets its money (cash in). Operating cash flows, using the indirect method, includes net income, depreciation, depletion, and amortization expenses, gains and...

...The following are the gates noted in Nehemiah chapter three. Each gate from the Jerusalem wall mentioned by Nehemiah is unique and has a specific message about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. These messages are vivid and clear in our day just as they were in 445 BC and prior. These gates were used by God to reveal the coming Messiah to the Jews of that day. They reveal Him from His first coming sacrifice to His Second Coming and final judgment of man and Angels. It is fascinating how God finds many different ways to tell the message of Christ, the good news. This is one more. Praise be to God the Father who desires salvation for all. 1 Tim 2:4 The Sheep Gate (v. 1-2) Reminds us of the sacrifice of Christ on the cross (John 10). This was the first gate repaired, for without the sacrifice, there is no salvation. Note that the sheep gate had no locks or bars, for the door of salvation is ever open to the sinner. This is the only gate that was sanctified, setting it apart as a special gate. They sanctified it—As they began with the sacred offering as soon as they got an altar built, it was proper that the gate by which these sacrifices entered should be consecrated for this purpose, i. e., set apart, so that it should be for this use only. The Fish Gate (v. 3-5) Reminds us of soul-winning, being “fishers of men” (Mark 1:17). The Old Gate (v. 6-12) Speaks of the old paths and the old truths of the Word of God (Jer. 6:16 and 18:15). The people of the world...

...both explain how laptops can be a nuisance or an advantage for college students. While they both have proficient arguments, they differ with what they feel is right; as one argument is coming from a college student, the other is coming from a professor in college. Surprisingly, while the battle of the student and teacher began, will be surprise with who wants to ban laptops. Andrew Goldstein, a student from Tufts University, is one of the students that use his laptop in some of his class. Although he does use his laptop for some of his class, he thinks that using laptops in some lager classes are a burden. Laptops are open as the professor talks, but are the students really paying attention? Some students use their laptops for other purposes, like playing online games or online shopping. Goldstein stated that he see "screens that show students are playing poker or shopping online" Also, while others are doing everything except what they are supposed to be doing, their colleagues are distracted by what they are doing on their laptops, especially with games; Goldstein thought the "tapping noise" of the typing is, also, very distracting. More than ever, students, with their laptops, use stenography, writing extensive notes instead of paying attention to the lecture, and while they overdue their notes, they are not able to answer the questions that the professors ask the students. As Goldstein thinks that professors are tired not getting the attention from their students...

...In came Mr. Utterson, the lawyer and Poole, after days of worrying about Dr. Jekyll someone is finally coming by to clear the air on what is going on. I have been worried sick about the doctor and I am starting to get really concerned because we have not seen him, we have only yet received papers with demands on them. As soon as they walked in the lawyer asked why we were all gathered there and Poole responded, “They’re all afraid,” while the servants, including myself, looked and felt afraid and nervous. Poole went toward the cabinet and said to Dr. Jekyll, “Mr. Utterson, sir, asking to see you,” where we finally heard a response from the doctor, or so we think was him, I only say this because his voice did not sound as familiar.

...At the beginning of the semester I was really worried that with my new job and with a bunch of credits that I’m taking this semester, that I wouldn’t at all be ready with the repertoire that was coming for the next couple of concerts. I wasn’t as ready as I felt I should’ve been but with such little time I think that I did very well with the 8 pieces that I had to learn for the “Hope Springs Eternal” concert. I felt as if I wasn’t ready when we got up to sing because I didn’t really sing the music I was just singing the notes on the page because I was afraid that I was going to forget and sing what wasn’t on the page. Expressing myself musically is usually not that big of an issue but for this concert it was difficult to do some of the songs,...

...promises due to willful disobedience or by happenstance. Scripture states, God is not a man that He should lie (Numbers 23:19, KJV) and it is impossible for God to lie (Hebrews 6:18). These scriptures give believers the assurance that whatever God commands will come to pass. The Old Testament book of Genesis records the earliest indication of God promising to send His son as provision for our salvation (v. 15). The culmination of God’s promise in Jesus is also told in the eyes of the Old Testament prophets He used as spokesmen throughout scripture. A brief analysis of these promises of the coming Messiah will be reviewed during the course of this essay. The Prophets The promise of the coming Messiah was not decided during the time the early covenantal promises were given to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and David (Kaiser, 1995). By the time the Latter Prophets arrived on the scene the message of a coming Messiah began to proliferate and blossom throughout the scriptures. Kaiser (1995) states, the writing of these prophets began to showcase the doctrine of God promising to send a future Messiah in order to restore Israel and give them the Promised Land. A common theme throughout the writings of Joel and Obadiah concerns the day of the Lord, in which judgment and restoration will take place (Joel 2; Obadiah 1). At times it seems as though much debate surrounds some of the prophecy and predictions leading...

...The city of Chicago has long been considered a prime destination for many immigrant groups coming into the United States. Though, despite its popularity, the city has long shown disdain and disregard for those coming into its borders. This argument is made apparent through the stories of both the Polish and the Mexicans and Puerto Ricans who have come into the city. In the case of the Polish, author and historian, Dominic Pacyga writes on their story and ordeal in his work, Polish Immigrants and Industrial Chicago. His work specifically focuses on Polish in the South Side of Chicago between the years of 1880 and 1922. Pacyga paints a dismal picture for the Chicago Polish communities at the time. Often, many found low paying work in either the...

...its master budget for the coming year. The budget will include operating, capital, cash, and flexible budgets. The hospital is noted for its three fine programs: Oncology (cancer), Cardia (heart), and Rhinoplasty (nose jobs). Part I. Section A The managers at Denison have been busy working. They have reviewed past records, considered changes in competition, the general economy, and overall medical trends. Using past changes and anticipated rates of medical inflation, they have also made a first attempt at setting their prices. Based on a thorough review and discussion of these data, they have projected that next year will have 240 patients. They expect 120 oncology patients, 80 cardiac patients, and 40 rhinoplasty patients. The charge, or list price, for Oncology patients will average $50,000. Cardiac patients will be charged an average of $40,000, and rhinoplasty, $25,000 per patient. However, those charges often are not the actual amount ultimately received. The amount the hospital receives depends on whether patients pay their own hospital bills or have health care insurance. Assume that private insurance companies pay the full charge or list price. However, Medicare and Medicaid have announced rates they will pay for the coming year as follows: Oncology patients $40,000, Cardiac patients, $30,000, Rhinoplasty $10,000. Self-pay patients are supposed to pay the full charge, but generally 25 percent of self-pay charges become a bad debt. Note that bad debts are treated...
