...Tax research Facts#1: Late Co Paid towing costs when overdue fines caused a truck to be impounded. Question: Is Late Co allowed a deduction for this amount of towing costs as a business expense even though it is result from overdue fines? Relevant law:§162(a)of the Internal Revenue Code allows all the ordinary and necessary expenses as a deduction, if they are paid or incurred during the taxable year in carrying on any trade or business. However, §162(f) shows that no deduction shall be allowed under subsection (a) for any fine or similar penalty paid to a government for the violation of any law. K.A Baratelle, 80 TCM 737, Dec.53.130(M) shows that Traffic fines and towing costs paid in connection with fines were nondeductible expenses. Because under §162(f) they are cost paid to a government for the violation of traffic law. Moreover, in case J.B.Miller,Jr 72 TCM 709, Dec.51.568(M), requirement that an owner and operator of a scrap metal deduct as business expense was denied. Because the claimed fines and losses were result from nondeductible traffic fines. Conclusion: Since the towing cost was incurred by overdue fines causing a truck to be impounded, in other words, it caused by nondeductible traffic fines, it should be excluded from business expense. Facts: #2, Moved by a segment on 60 minutes, the taxpayer decided to donate a kidney to a young boy living in another city. Since the boy had no insurance, she incurred significant unreimbursed costs for transportation to...

...NT2580 Ishmael Burch III Project Part 2 Student SSCP Domain Research Paper Remote Access Domain is a domain involving Portable devices that use static IP address like Smart phones Laptop computers PDAs Remote E-mail usage Wireless access to cloud resources. Remote access policies are configured using the RRAS console. They are contained within the Remote Access Policies container under the server node in the console tree. There is a default remote access policy created when the RRAS is installed on a computer. Allow or deny remote access depending on the time or day of the week, the group membership of the remote user, the type of connection (VPN or dial-up), and so on. Administrators can configure remote access settings to specify authentication protocols, and encryption schemes used by clients, maximum duration of a remote access session, etc. A wireless link is likely to be limited in bandwidth error rates on a wireless link is much higher than that of a wired link. Different types of communication paths involved, one of which is radio link, particularly vulnerable to attack. Location privacy, any leakage of specific signaling information on the network can lead to an eavesdropper to approximately “locate” the position of a subscriber and thus hindering the subscriber’s privacy. Securing Internet Communication by using S-HTTP and SSL Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol is a protocol that uses public key encryption to secure channel over public Internet. A Secure Hypertext...

...Running Header: There is No Hope of Doing Perfect Research There is No Hope of Doing Perfect Research To begin with, perfect research may refer to accurate or precise which leaves it with no room for further development. Imagine a world without research and new minds for progression, the world could still be in the primitive age. According to Metaphysics there is no perfection in this world we live in (Kim, Korman, & Sosa, 2012). May be another world of believes (religion) but not the real one. People have no perfect brains, so one can’t expect them to deliver perfect work. As we all know, every discovery begins with a single brain which later develops to a certain creation. Each human being has their own understanding and views of certain phenomena. When someone discovers something, it acts as the source of other major discoveries to come. It has to undergo major changes and alteration for its perfection. Research involves experimental analysis either in the laboratory, field or on certain events. During the research experiments, the probability of getting false results is very high due to human, instrumental and other field errors. Let’s say a group of people are doing the same research on a certain topic. Their results will be very different when compared then everyone tries to modify them in different ways. This leads to different discoveries with time. Therefore research is dynamic and a continuous process. In order to clarify all these, let’s consider the DNA structure...

...Michael Campbell PT1420 Unit 1 Re Ass 1 10/10/2014 1. 1970s – The programming language was C, which was created by Dennis M. Richie. Before he created the C language there was the B language, which was created by Ken Thompson in 1969-70. The computers in that time wrote in assembly code and the user had to write many pages of code to do a task. When the B language was created, it made it possible to do a task in a few lines. Although the B language improved the systems it lacked use of structure and didn’t know data types. So in 1971-73 Dennis Richie wrote the C language in which he kept the B syntax but added data types and other changes that needed to be made. It was built for power and speed and developed for UNIX systems. Its also used for Windows, the MacOS and Linux. 2. 1980s – The programming language was Python, which was created by Guido van Rossum. It’s more of a scripting language and allows users to produce large quantities readable and functional code in a quick amount of time. Python teaches the user how to work with other languages, indentation, and modularity. It supports object – oriented, procedural, and functional program styles. C++ was also created and used many different types of computers. Program A was created by Arthur Whitney in 1988, and it focused on graphics, systems interfaces, utility support, and user community. 3. 1990s – The programming language was Ruby, which was created by computer scientist Yukihiro Matsumoto. It was created...

The FASC became effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009 even though the authoritative version of the Codification was released on July 1, 2009. b. Did the FASC change prior GAAP? The FASC did not change prior GAAP but it instead reorganized previous GAAP into a new structure. This new structure is organized into a new research database that is supposed to be user friendly and make finding certain GAAP easier to use. c. What does the FASB expect from the new FASC structure and system? The FASB has high expectations from the new FASC system including reducing the amount of time and effort that is used to solve an accounting research issue. The FASC also expects the Codification to mitigate the risk of noncompliance through easier usability of accounting literature. The Codification is also expected to provide accurate information through real time updates whenever Accounting Standards Updates are released and to assist the FASC with all of the research and convergence efforts. d. What are the “topics” used in the ASC? There are six major topics that are used in the ASC. The first one is The General Principles Area which includes broad conceptual matters. The next one is The Presentation Area which shows information is presented in the financial statements. The Assets, Liabilities, and Equity Areas have guidance...

These amazing natural phenomena form when intense heat and rising, riotous winds combine. These localized eddies of air can become genuine tornados or rotating vortices by continuing to suck in combustible gases and flammable debris. These fire whirls can rearch internal temperatures of more than 2,000-degrees Fahrenheit. The core, which is the part that stays afire, is surrounded by a pocket of rotating air. These phenomena most often occur when vegetation is burning on the ground in an oxygen-rich environment. These storms can set new fires along their paths, spread wildfire and reach speeds of more than 100 mph. 14.

...Happiness: Gratitude FYSM Gratitude has the ability to make people happier. Throughout my research I have found numerous studies that have conducted experiments and done observations proving this to be true. There are many ways to define gratitude, and just as many ways to exemplify its connection to happiness. Smith Scott, the author of Psychology: Please Pass the Gratitude, said that the best explanation he has heard was by a man named Joseph Krutch who said, “Happiness is itself a kind of gratitude” (Smith, 2007). As mentioned in Time Magazine, “Of course, happiness is not a static state. Even the happiest of people — the cheeriest 10% -- feel blue at times. And even the bluest have their moments of joy” (Wallis, 2005). This being said, there must be a reason as to why people become happy and gratitude is in fact a part of that reason. When people think of gratitude they tend to relate it to everyday things, such as saying thank you so someone who held the door for you, writing a card for your friend’s birthday, or something else along those lines. However, a study done by Lung Hung Chen and Ying Hwa Kee demonstrates a method that is less thought of, if thought of at all by many. They studied gratitude and its correlation with the well-being of athletes. During the study, they used two separate groups which each had a different focus. Group 1 consisted of senior high school athletes and was designed to look at the relationship between dispositional gratitude and well-being...
