Your assignment is to prepare and submit a paper on a good man must know one song by heart. A gripping story set in 1929 about a family of three. The father leaves home for New York to work there along with his friends as members of a band. The band becomes popular at that area, and pay becomes even better. Way back home, the ten-year old son and his mother alternates time among playing piano, strolling around the vicinity, and cooking food. The situation forces the son to look for his father bringing only with him a song that his father taught him years ago.The film’s narration played as a flashback starting out promisingly in what is supposed to be an abandoned area in New York, where the son is shown to be cuddling his father while humming a tune. The father was looking aimlessly at nowhere in his tattered suits, while the son looked simple in his pants and jacket. The transition to the next scene was poignant and dramatic because the succeeding scene was beautifully juxtaposed with the previous scene. In the second scene, the father was seen cuddling his son while singing the song “While My Baby Lulls in a Hammock.” The mother entered the scene, and then all at once, the audience was introduced to all the principal characters of the film. But just when you are expecting things to get even better, as the film tried to give the audience an idea of the setting and the zeitgeist of the story, the film slowed down and devoted too much time to the protagonists’ uneventful music sessions. There, the film accommodated half of the total number of songs-there were ten-that were supposed to be played in the entire film. While the film’s first half tried your patience, it picked up speed as the focus shifted to where it should be: New York and the specter of the Great Depression.

There were two significant events between the period of 1925 and 1935 that were woven into or depicted in the film:

1) The movie’s moral crackdown in 1934-Due to the newly-enforced rigorous production code courtesy of Will Hays, the film’s dialogues, song lyrics, and the presentation of the visuals were seemingly sanitized. Rumor has it that several lines-including “Mother, do you think is it acceptable for Father if I were to fall in love with someone, but not marry her”-were intentionally omitted during the post-production to suit the taste of the members of the so-called Legion of Decency. As a result of this, the film in its entirety was devoid of any shocking but commercially appealing dialogue and situations. Instead, unnecessary optimism pervaded all throughout in its less than 90-minute run. Such existential optimism was manifested in script like “Do not worry son. Your father will soon find his way to us.”

2) The ushering of the Great Depression in 1929-discussions among bankers visiting the club where the father plays centered on the issue of Wall Street’s fall. Although, the site of Wall Street was never included in any of the scenes, the actors really talked about blue chips like Standard Oil and Westinghouse, and the plummeting values of the shares of White Sewing Machine with ease that one could have an impression that bankers who were forced to resign from financial institutions were acquired as actors.

Commentaries

One critic said that there was a visible effort on the part of the filmmakers to show that this film had set the bar high in terms of visuals, sounds, and historical accuracy. Although the visuals, through camerawork, hardly moved to prevent the scratches made by camera from being recorded, the actors’ faces registered clearly and properly projected to create an impression of a depressing scenario. The sounds consisted of a few songs of longing and melancholia and crisp and concise audible (and inaudible) dialogue.

I need some assistance with these assignment. teaching methods in our public schools Thank you in advance for the help! Some of these learning methods include. Discovery learning which is strictly a learner-centered approach. The learner is expected to apply his or her creative skills, draw hypotheses, perform experiments, and logically interpret their own data to arrive at well-researched conclusions. The method largely contributes to the learner’s cognitive development. Co-operative learning is the second method that calls for discussion and mutual exchange of ideas amongst students. It is aimed at promoting teamwork. A research conducted by Johnson (1979) indicates that the method not only assisted the teachers but also was also highly preferred by the students.

Lastly, they talk about Digital learning a method that involves the use of modern electronic devices that assist the learner in making their work easier for instance in making calculations. Teachers are also trained on how to use these devices which include calculators, computers, etc.

The conducted survey reveals that teachers are happy with the administrative body though they seem not well contented as to whether their senior administration demonstrates strong leadership skills.

They also appear to be satisfied with the mode of communication, which includes good relations between them and their leaders. However, they are not happy since there is on openness in the sharing of knowledge and information. They are happy with feedback gotten from their managers regarding their overall performance. Though they are never appreciated after a good assignment.

Diversity is applied in schools with different ideas being pumped to the same. They feel that their ideas and opinions are not well received at their place of work.

The most commonly applied teaching method is hands-on. followed by lecture methods tally in terms of use while the least used method is discovery.

You will prepare and submit a term paper on IAS 17- LEASES. Your paper should be a minimum of 2000 words in length. Recognizing this need for a proper accounting of lease financing transactions the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) has issued IAS 17 in respect of the leasing and financial instruments in the year 1982. It is observed that in spite of the changes that these standards propose to bring about the companies are still able to resort to Off Balance Sheet Financing which vitiates the objectives of the standards introduced by IASB. This paper presents a detailed review of the effectiveness of IAS 17 in achieving its objectives and comments on the new standards proposed to be issued in this respect.

“A finance lease should be reflected in the balance sheet of a lessee by recording an asset and a liability at amounts equal at the inception of the lease to the fair value of the leased asset net of grants and tax credits receivable by the lessor. if lower at the present value of the minimum lease payments.” (Khan, 2007) The lessee should be appropriated between the finance charge and the reduction of the outstanding liability. A finance lease involves the accounting of the depreciation charge for the leased asset as well as the financing charge for the relevant accounting period. In respect of the operating lease the rental expenses for the accounting period shall be charged to income. The charge to income should be recognized on a systematic basis which represents the time pattern of the benefits for the user.

The amount of the assets that are subject to finance lease should be disclosed at the values as at the balance sheet date. Liabilities relating to the leased asset should be disclosed separately from other liabilities. The liabilities are to be differentiated between the current and long term portions. The lessee’s commitment for minimum lease payments under finance lease or non-cancellable operating lease having tenure of more than a year should be disclosed in summary form. This disclosure should specify the amounts and periods in which payments would become due. The accounting statements should also specifically disclose any significant financing restrictions or other conditions attached to the leases.

Accounting and Disclosure under IAS 17 by Lessor

An asset held by the lessor under finance lease should not be disclosed in the balance sheet as property, plant and equipment. Alternatively the asset item should be shown as receivable at value that equals the net investment in the lease. The recognition of finance income on the lease should be calculated using any specific pattern that reflects a constant periodic rate of return. This rate of return should be based on either the net investment outstanding or the net cash investment outstanding in respect of the particular lease under consideration. There is no specific method prescribed for estimating the value or the net return. Rental income on the lease should be recognized on a straight line basis over the term of the lease unless the lessor finds any other systematic basis that is more representative of the time pattern contained in the lease contract concerning the earning process.

Those Winter Sundays

In what respects does this poem sound like conversational prose

In what respects is it “poetic”

Robert Hayden’s poem “Those Winter Sundays” is a symbiotic blending of harshness and tenderness told through the vehicles of prose and poetry. The poem is set off by a mixture of conversational tones that anyone could have with their neighbor or childhood friend. Hayden writes, “Sundays too my father got up early”, “From labor in the weekday weather made”. The author tells of his father’s dedication to work and to the family with a casual reference to Sunday and labor. In lines 7 and 8 he writes, “When the rooms were warm, he’d call, and slowly I would rise and dress”. The author is speaking to his audience without rhyme and a sense of storytelling.

Woven between the prose are the poetic devices that drive the poem. Hayden uses the phrases “blue-black cold” and “cracked hands that ached”. The author uses consonance with the hard “c” sound to contrast the casual conversation taking place in the background. He continues “banked fires blaze…

Write 3 pages thesis on the topic how psychological research applies to various aspects of social life. To better illustrate the importance of the study of psychology and research in this field, let me cite a concrete example. As human beings, we are born with the need to socialize and interact with other people. One interesting example of social behavior that is observed in some individuals as they interrelate with others is their dependency on other people. Dependent behavior, according to McDavid (1994) is one of the most common forms of human activity.

I know of a person who cannot act nor move around without a companion. This person is over 35 years old already, still single, physically able and works in a public academic institution. She is an attractive lady who actively participates in religious activities in her Church. However, her actions always depend on the presence of somebody as if this other person provides some sense of security on her part. She always keeps a company during mealtimes, whenever riding public transportation on her way home, even when simply going from one office to another within the same building. More often than not, you would see her in the company of another person and rarely alone.

I have begun to notice this behavior initially when she asked me to accompany her during one of her errands in the building. Being an attractive lady, I consented to and accommodated her request. But when it was repeated once, twice, I felt something was wrong. I observed that she was over suspicious of other people and how they may possibly treat her and that is the reason why she always sees to it that she is accompanied by somebody wherever she goes.

As a consequence, this behavior more often than not turns off and becomes an irritant especially when there are important things that need to be accomplished. It sometimes becomes a cause of delay in delivering tasks expected of her. It also creates a negative image of her to other people.

In psychology, such behavior is labeled as an interpersonal dependency. According to Bornstein (2004), in defining interpersonal dependency four components must be included: (1) motivational (i.e. a marked need for guidance, support, and approval from others). (2) cognitive, (i.e., a perception of oneself as powerless and ineffectual, couple with the belief that others are comparatively powerful and potent). (3) effective, (i.e., a tendency to become anxious and fearful when required to function autonomously). and (4) behavioral, (i.e. a tendency to seek support and reassurance from others and engage in self-presentation strategies designed to strengthen the relationships with potential caregivers).

To some who are not into the study of psychology, the behavior of the lady may appear to be a little “weird” or extraordinary to those who are into studying other people’s behavior through observation, it helps to explain things and facilitate better understanding.
