Textbook reference is Zarefsky-Public Speaking: Strategies for success- 7th edition https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wPuY5hI96U (Link for Speech) Read and view President George W. Bush's address to the nation, delivered on September 20, 2001. Then answer the following questions in as essay of 600-900 words: What was the general purpose in the speech? What was its specific purpose? Provide evidence from the speech to support your claims. (It was not the general purpose of the speech "to provide new information." It was persuasive, not informative. Therefore, the specific purpose could not be "to provide new information about the war on terror.") Using the discussion of evidence in Chapter 7 and the discussion of persuasion in Chapter 14, list the types of supporting material the president used in his speech. Give an example of how each type of supporting material is used and then evaluate his use of this evidence. Rely on outside sources, even if you disagree with their conclusions, to help you identify his arguments and evidence. Use the additional reading by Jamieson in this Lesson as a model for testing supporting material, and cite it is as needed. Include at least one other scholarly reference to support your argument. You are expected to use scholarly (peer reviewed) sources in your research. These include academic journals and books. Newspapers, available online, can provide supplemental information, particularly with recent speeches that you will analyze, but only use newspaper articles that were written around the time of the speech; articles written much later tend to be historical appreciations. Many government and non-government agencies no longer publish official reports on paper, but their documents are available online as primary sources. Other webpages, especially social media, blogs, and news aggregators, lack the editorial review oversight that makes published information reliable, useful, and acceptable. Wikipedia can help you orient your academic search, but it is not a scholarly source.

Using whatever business / economic / general theory framework you wish in order to organise your thoughts: why and how has Macau developed in recent years as a world leading centre for casinos? What problems might this sector face over the next five years?

They raised the Armenian in a cross for their wealth and property, the same, what was done with Jesus Christ, and they made a wager.
Zile city of childhood, the city of the happiness, an incredible miracle in nature, the city painted with Armenian blood, with children’s grievous tears, with suffer… The city of yearning.
There were 4000 households there. One of these houses was Nikoghos’s house. That was Nikoghos and Anna’s happy couples family, they were happy with their work and with their children: Hakobjan, Manuel, Exsan, and Arshaluys…

It was incomprehensible for her, and why one day they all were gathered together at St Hakob church, why they separated them from their mother and where they took her, why her mother was hiding her sister in the bed all the time…
She understood it only years later and every time she was telling her grandchildren about her past with tears and suffer in her eyes, maybe they couldn’t fully understand their grandma’s pain but they couldn’t ever forget her story.
This story went from generation and reached to me.
And so the Exsan was my mom’s grandmother, whom while remembering everyone was keeping to say that “she was a saint woman, her kindness was ” She was one of the Armenians who escaped from genocide.
…When they were separating Anna and her children, 6 years old Exsan and 10 years old Manuel were given a Turkish family for serving.
6 years old child was made to care for a newborn baby in that family and to swing him and Manuel was made to bring water and to do many other works.
Days and weeks were passing and the miss was drowning the Manuel and one day he ordered her sister to stay and to do his”responsibilities” either and he will go with his friend Asatur, to search their mothers and after that, they will return and will leave the bloody city.
Exsan agreed and she waited with hope and miss in her hurt, but there wasn’t any news from her brother.
Then an Armenian orphanage opened, and Exsan was taken to an orphanage. From here Armenian rich families were adopting Armenian orphans.
..Luck smiles to Exsan too.
She was adopted by Vram a Sirarpie’s married couple.
Anyway, Exsan was waiting with hope her brother and mother.
Exsan was renamed Exisabeth and after 10 years Vram and Sirarpi decided to marry her with their beautiful young cousin Aharon Muradyan, with a good young man.
The newlyweds were settled in Greece.
But the miss of motherland in 1924 made them return and live there and after long struggles, they settled in Yerevan, even after years the children’s memories the hope and the miss didn’t leave Exisabeth.
She was searching for her brother and mother, was waiting for them. gave many many announcements in “Hayreniq” news sheet about her family but no one replied.
Life was going on
The kerosene stove was broken, it needed to be repaired. Not far from there was a studio. Exisabeth went to the studio, gave the stove to the young man and she thought that his face was so familiar and she remembered the city Zile.
“I looked at him, he looked at me and our sights hugged each other”
The confused young man said with tears in his eyes “Exsan is it you? The Manuel’s sister” and snuggled Exsan.
Manuel…maybe she will find her brother…Turned out that the young man was Asatur Manuel’s friend, who refused to participate in Manuel’s crazy actions, to find their mothers at those days, for what he got replied:: “you are a bad son, you don’t love your mother but I’ll go and I’ll find her.”
After that, no one saw the Manuel and no one had new from him.
Asatur became for Exisabeth her lost a brother, who she was missing and waiting for such a long time.
My grandma was always remembering her childhood with sadness, her friends in Zile and an orphanage.
…One day when she went to buy a bread, the last person in the queue was Parinaz her best friend from orphanage: Escaped from genocide two orphans hugged each other and tears of happiness rolled down from their wistful eyes…
You can say that those were coincidences but no those were little gifts to an Armenian orphan whose soul was full of hop and miss, whom life gave many struggles.
She died at 85 having hope and endless miss in her heart for finding her mother and brother:
Today many countries don’t admit the Armenian genocide as well as Turkey, it’s their problem.

The City of Ballarat*

The monetary
valuation, if any, of an Australian icon – the Eureka Flag – for financial
reporting purposes became, for an episode in its history, the focus and
attention for the custodian of the flag.

The City of Ballarat (the City) in the
state of Victoria is the custodian of the original ‘Eureka

Flag’ – the symbol of the Eureka rebellion (an uprising by goldminers
that took place in Ballarat on 3 December 1854). The flag has acquired iconic
status within Australia. In preparing its financial statements for the year
ending 30 June 2000, the City sought to place,

for the first time,
a monetary value on the Eureka Flag for financial reporting purposes as was
believed to be necessary at the time. According to the head of the Ballarat
Fine Art Gallery, ‘there’s not been a Eureka Flag on the market’ (Danaher,
2000), thus there was no reference point for any financial valuation.

Notwithstanding, the City arrived at a
financial valuation of precisely $10 million that was

reported in the local press (The Ballarat
Courier). It was pointed out that this valuation was

credible because ‘another great
Australian icon’, the admired and prized mounted hide of

Phar Lap, on exhibition at Museum
Victoria, Melbourne, had previously been valued at $10

million for
financial reporting purposes (Danaher, 2000). Hence, at that time, the sum of
$10

million had become an ‘acceptable’
measure of the monetary value of an Australian ‘icon’.

The Mayor of the City of Ballarat,
however, acknowledged that ‘the true value of the flag

could never be recorded in dollars’ and
that it was ‘priceless’ (Danaher, 2000).

In spite of the $10 million financial
valuation, the Eureka Flag was not recognised as an asset

in the statement of financial position of
the City as at 30 June 2000. This treatment was

justified in the notes
to the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2000, at Note 1(d),
entitled ‘Recognition of non-current assets’, as follows:

“Whilst Council has control over the Eureka Flag, it has not been
included in the financial statements as uncertainty exists as to the
appropriateness of its carrying value. This is due to the unique nature of this
asset and the absence of a market valueâ€

The external
auditor of the City was satisfied with this treatment and did not issue
a qualified audit opinion in auditing the accounts for the financial year
ending 30 June 2000.

*Adapted from Carnegie (2005)

PART B (20 marks)

(Maximum 1000 Words)

“Measurement is arguably the most important concept in the discipline
of accounting, since without measurement; there would be no need for
accounting. The second most important concept is historical cost because it
provides a critical evidentiary perspective to the discipline of accounting.
This also means that for financial reporting purposes, historical cost helps to
ensure reliability and credibility of the financial statements. â€

REQUIREMENTS

You are required to
critically evaluate the above statements. Your answer should
include a comparative analysis of the significant measurement models in
accounting. As a minimum, this should encompass a detailed discussion of
historical cost accounting (outlining the advantages and disadvantages of
the cost model), and at least six(6) alternative measurement models that
have been adopted in current accounting standards.

PART C (15 marks)

(Maximum 750 Words)

Assume that you
have been appointed as a consultant to Intellec-Morph Design Limited (IMDL), a
successful firm in the computer software business, to develop a management
compensation scheme that will motivate managers to maximize the value of the
firm for shareholders. You are permitted to construct individual agreements for
the senior executives of IMDL.

REQUIREMENTS

You are required to write a brief report
to the firm’s remuneration committee covering

the following issues:

1. How (and why)
individual remuneration packages of executives can be structured to motivate
managers to maximize equity value?

2. The extent to which
different forms of compensation can be structured to suit the individual
attributes/characteristics of managers

3.
The various mechanisms that might be employed to
monitor the performance of managers and thus provide assurances to the IMDL
committee that incentive schemes are working.

4. The potential forms
of ex-post opportunistic behaviour that managers may still engage in despite
the existence of performance contracts?

Your report must
include explanations of relevant theories which might support the basis of your
conclusions/recommendations.

FORMAT REQUIREMENTS

It should be a formal essay report. This assignment should be
supported by AASB STANDARDS.
This is a‘thinking’assignmentand what is expected is thepersonal viewsofindividual
students’ based on research and the evidence that has
been sourced. Further, an assignment which presents more quotes than
constructive analysis and argument may also be heavily penalised. What is
critical in this assignment is that students have fully understood the
requirements and have actually answered the questions, for example if asked
whether a position or view is justified, you must answer by stating yes/no,
agree/disagree, or some other similar response depending on the requirements of
the question. Discussion should be followed by logical
development of argument supporting the answer
given. Anexecutive
summaryof approximately200 wordsis recommended forPart
A, B and C separately. The Executive Summary is
NOT INCLUDED IN
THE WORD LIMIT of each Part.The EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
should briefly provide information on the scope
of the question, (ie., your understanding of
the requirements), your research approach and the methods used (ie., what
methods and procedures were engaged to source your

information and to reach your conclusions), and a very
brief summary of the outcomes of your work (usually, what position you have
taken or conclusion you have reached and why).
