...Close Reading of Shakespeare’s “Sonnet 46” Of the many themes explored in Shakespeare’s Sonnets, number 46 explores an idea that only a few others (24,38,47) touch upon—the roles of the eyes and the heart in the manifestation of love. Utilizing conceit—or a fanciful form of extended metaphor—Shakespeare tackles the extant renaissance notion of the eye and the heart from a more infatuating, legal standpoint. In the case of number 46, the verdict is simple: lustful, longing eyes will always be able to gaze upon potential lovers; but passionate hearts will always have the power to become intertwined. In almost perfect iambic pentameter, the sonnet maintains a common structure with most of Shakespeare’s sonnets. Its rhyme scheme, which appears to be simply alternating as ABAB, does however have some deviances 1. In the end, it seems to formulate to ABAB || CDCD || EFEF/FF ||. In terms of syntactical construction the sonnet may be divided into four units—three quatrains of four lines, however concluding with a couplet. Because #46 is of the harder sonnets in terms of understanding—due to it’s extended metaphor and legal jargon—I will break up the text along with citing the OED in order to convey it’s underlying meaning. 1 Mine eye and heart are at a mortal war / 2 How to divide the conquest of thy sight; / 3 Mine eye my heart thy picture's sight would bar, / 4 My heart mine eye the freedom of that right. || ------------------------------------------------- 1 The rhyme...

...MEMORANDUM TO: Senior Accounting FROM: Staff Accountant DATE: June 29, 2015 SUBJECT: Shared-Based Payment Reporting and Special Purpose Entities (SPE) CC: Team members ______________________________________________________________________________ As an Accounting Firm it is very important that we follow the most recently changed or amended regulations and standards set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). As of 2009 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has made amendments to Shared-Based Payment Reporting and Special Purpose Entities. The amendments made were to Statements No. 123 and 95 which covers the Share-Based Payments and Statements No. 123 and 95; the FASB. Also revised, Statements No. 166 and 167 which pertains to Special Purpose Entities (SPE). Share-Based Payment Reporting In the process of an audit, it is important to review the accounting process in terms of how share-based payment is reported to Sensure the entity processes are in line with Generally Accepted Accounting Policies (GAAP). Share-based payment is a complex area to both report on and audit as almost every transaction is unique and referencing IFRS No.2 for the purpose of the audit is not always clearly defined. Defined, share-based payment is an arrangement in which an entity purchases goods or services in exchange for issuance of the entity’s equity instruments or cash payments based on the fair value of those equity instruments. IFRS No.2 has two defined...

...Route 4 is a state highway in Bergen County and Passaic County, New Jersey, United States. The highway stretches 10.83 mi (17.43 km) from Route 20 (McLean Boulevard) in Paterson east to an interchange with Interstate 95, U.S. Route 1/9, U.S. Route 46, and U.S. Route 9W at the George Washington Bridge approach in Fort Lee. The route is a four- to six-lane 40 to 50 mph (64 to 80 km/h) divided highway its entire length, with the portion east of the Route 208 interchange in Fair Lawn a partial freeway consisting of interchanges and right-in/right-out intersections with a few businesses along the road, particularly in Paramus, where the route passes through a major shopping area consisting of numerous malls, Hackensack, Englewood, and Fort Lee. West of Route 208, the route is a surface arterial lined that runs through commercial areas. Route 4 intersects many important roads, including Route 208 in Fair Lawn and the Garden State Parkway and Route 17 in Paramus. The highway is officially named the Mackay Highway,[2] but is rarely referred to as such. Route 4 was legislated in 1927 to run from Cape May to the George Washington Bridge. This route replaced pre-1927 Route 14 between Cape May and Seaville, what was planned as pre-1927 Route 19 between Seaville and Absecon, pre-1927 Route 4 between Absecon and Lakewood and South Amboy and Rahway, and a spur of pre-1927 Route 7 between Lakewood and Freehold, with the rest of the route to be built on a new alignment. The present-day routing...

...2008. This paper will argue against the statements that the author said and give insight into how the author’s statements were misleading. First Statement “Now, two years later, though a federal court has declared Proposition 8 invalid under the U.S. Constitution, it nonetheless remains in effect. This state of affairs persists even though most people now support equal marriage rights…” (Brill, 2011). Brill is making a misleading comment here by saying that most of the country is in support of equal marriage rights. By stating that most of country now supports equal marriage rights is a bit of an exaggeration. According to the Pew Research Center, Americans for the majority are still opposed to same sex marriages by the tune of 46% against it (Pew Research Center, 2011). The results from the poll also showed that there was 9% that voted “do not know” and they were counted in with those that were for same sex marriage (Pew Research Center, 2011). Second Statement “The initiative proponents, however, have appealed. Now the California Supreme Court must decide whether unelected and unaccountable initiative proponents have the power to trump the judgment of the democratically elected attorney general” (Baume, 2011). This statement by the author is a way of classifying or assuming that all the people that supported Proposition 8 are rebels and do not like to adhere to the law. What Baume does not tell you is that 52% of the California voters voted in favor of the...

This was around the time many teachers began assigning projects and AP classes were coming to an end. The senior trip to Disney World, spring break, preparation for AP exams, and the excitement for graduation all made the seniors eager for the summer. The countdown had begun. We thought that a survey focusing on summer was a great idea to get a large sample size since many students would be interested in the topic. Even though, our main focus was the seniors and their thoughts about the summer, we also wanted to know what the underclassmen had to say about this topic. We distributed our surveys to a large population of high school students which included both genders: males and females; and all the grade levels. Personally, we are very excited about the summer...

...THE COMMUNICATION OF WINDOW DISPLAY - H&M - UNIQLO YAN14434663 CHIH LING, YANG ABSTRACT This research presents a comparison of the window displays in two different high-street fashion retail brands. H&M is one of the best-known western fashion retailers, while UNIQLO is a fashion retail brand from Asia which has successfully accessed the western market. This research will focus on these two brands’ different visual merchandise strategies and their window layouts during different periods. The results show how these two fashion brands from different cultural backgrounds convey their message to customers. INTRODUCTION The designer creates the product, while visual merchandising gives the product new life.

In an aesthetic point of view on display throughout the product content, value and performance, but also presents the brand itself.

Pegler 2012, p.3). Nowadays, the high-street fashion market has become more competitive, and every fashion brand has its own brand identity, so it is important to...

We expect 2014 contracted sales growth to be flat while policy risk is on the rise given the strong ASPs. We downgrade our industry view to In-Line. We favor stocks with greater exposure to the mass market segment of non-top-tier cities; Vanke, CG and Shimao are our top picks. Industry view downgraded to In-Line: We are less optimistic than consensus about the contracted sales and ASP outlook in 2014; we expect flat growth amid the increased policy risk and steady demand. MSCI China Real Estate index has outperformed MSCI China by 15% in the last 12 months. The average share price upside of our coverage universe has narrowed to 11%. Favor non-HPR/mass-market: We are more skeptical about tier-one cities given the 56% jump in land sales volume YTD and heightened policy risk amid the surge in ASPs. Demand-supply in lower-tier cities should continue to improve; we think there could be a third consecutive year of zero growth/decline in land sales in 2013, bringing down inventory-turnover. 17% contracted sales growth in 2014: We expect our coverage universe to continue to gain market share but they may only achieve half...

...Medical Malpractice Tort Reform in the Healthcare Industry Medical malpractice reform, also known as tort reform, includes strategies to limit medical malpractice costs, deter medical errors and ensure that patients who are injured by medical negligence are fairly compensated. Tort reform has the potential to reduce health care expenditures by reducing the number of malpractice claims, the average size of malpractice awards and tort liability system administrative costs (Medical Malpractice Reform, 2011). Since the 1970s, medical malpractice has been a controversial social issue, which has caused physicians to have increasing concerns about the large number of lawsuits and the negative connotations that tend to go along with them. Physicians have started pushing for legal reforms to decrease the large monetary awards for damages whereas tort attorneys have argued that the negligence suits are an effective way of compensating the victims fairly and forcing the medical professions to follow a proper standard of care (Pozgar, 2013). An article from the Journal of Patient Safety estimates that between 210,000 to 400,000 people die every year in the U.S. from hospital medical errors and 1 in 14 U.S. doctors face a malpractice lawsuit every year (Corapi, 2014). Physicians and healthcare providers argue that the millions of dollars that are awarded in damages increase the cost of healthcare by passing this cost onto the consumer in the form of higher insurance premiums and...

...of those married. Marital rape was legal in all states until 1975, and still ramped in the 60’s. The episode also fails to portray the actual horrible effects that this consistent harassment had/has on women, thus resulting in a flawed representation of the past. Last but not nearly of least importance, is Mad Men’s portrayal of the relationship dynamics between men and women. The expected and accepted gender roles, gender stereotypes, and double standards of the 1960’s served as a huge barrier in the way of healthy and mutually understanding, interdependent, interpersonal relationships between the sexes, and was and modernly does- to a way lesser extent- hinder equality, as demonstrated in the show. It is no coincidence that the prop for the men’s business-talk in the show is a garment made exclusively for a women’s body- bras. The men’s attitude towards the sale and use of this item symbolizes past and present problems about the view of a woman’s body; that it is not her own. The deliberate formation of the characters in the meeting room, placed Peggy separate from the men. It is accurate in representing their perceived “place”. Whatever comment she added was quickly dismissed, while the men attempt to convince the woman of what she wants, rather than listening to her needs, which is a metaphor for women as a whole being silenced. This brings light to present day problems regarded female autonomy, including but not limited to reproductive rights, and consent. For example...

...Review of Accounting Studies, 8, 531–560, 2003 # 2003 Kluwer Academic Publishers. Manufactured in The Netherlands. Financial Statement Analysis of Leverage and How It Informs About Profitability and Price-to-Book Ratios DORON NISSIM dn75@columbia.edu Graduate School of Business, Columbia University, 3022 Broadway, Uris Hall 604, New York, NY 10027 STEPHEN H. PENMAN shp38@columbia.edu Graduate School of Business, Columbia University, 3022 Broadway, Uris Hall 612, New York, NY 10027 Abstract. This paper presents a financial statement analysis that distinguishes leverage that arises in financing activities from leverage that arises in operations. The analysis yields two leveraging equations, one for borrowing to finance operations and one for borrowing in the course of operations. These leveraging equations describe how the two types of leverage affect book rates of return on equity. An empirical analysis shows that the financial statement analysis explains cross-sectional differences in current and future rates of return as well as price-to-book ratios, which are based on expected rates of return on equity. The paper therefore concludes that balance sheet line items for operating liabilities are priced differently than those dealing with financing liabilities. Accordingly, financial statement analysis that distinguishes the two types of liabilities informs on future profitability and aids in the evaluation of appropriate price-to-book ratios. Keywords: financing leverage, operating liability...

...‘The US government’s response to the global financial crisis was to prop up some of the key financial institutions stating that they were “too big to fail” because such failures would have extremely serious consequences for the economy and society at large. Research newspaper articles and present a summary of what measures the US government took to protect these financial institutions. Provide examples. Explain and critically analyse both the shareholder and stakeholder models of corporate social responsibility. Can the US government’s actions be justified from either (or both) of these models? Consider both short and long-term consequences of this government intervention. Conclude whether the action taken by the US government is best for society?’ The Global Financial Crisis of the last few years has caused widespread problems for the US government, who were forced to spend billions of (taxpayer) dollars bailing out many of the world’s largest top banks. While a controversial decision, the US government acted on the belief that these institutions were ‘too big to fail’ and their collapse would have far reaching consequences that could have lead to a much dire situation. Throughout this essay, the causes and effects that lead to the GFC and the need for a bank bailout, along with what exactly it entailed will be presented. Then, the US governments’ response in bailing out the banks will be analysed using both a Stakeholder and Shareholder model of Corporate Social...
