Convergences Project: FASB and IFRS

Due to developments and movement towards a one world economy, a joint activity of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) called project convergence has been initiated. The convergence project has the objective of matching the two board’s present standards and adapting the two sets of standards into a single set of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). For my capstone project, I will present an oral report on the similarities and differences that will have to be resolved in order to forge a single set of generally accepted accounting principles.

Integrating Technology into Churches

Since I am in college and going to be a Youth Pastor, technology is a part of my everyday life. I have visited churches with barely any technology and I believe that this younger generation needs technology in church as a way of connecting and staying relevant. So since I will be facing that problem soon, I thought I should tackle it now.

The Reality of What Diets Do

My poster will display three different diets. There will be a large title at the very top of my poster telling what my poster shows (three diet analysis). The diet name will be at the top; under that will be its purpose and what it claims to do for you. Pictures of what some foods that the three diets contain will be in each section. My opinions of what the diets do and contain will be in another boxed area in each section. Graphs of the nutrient distribution for each diet will be around the middle of each section as well.

Helping Children Overcome the Effects of Trauma from Witnessing Domestic Violence: What Current Research Recommends and Further Implications

According to research, one in four families in the US will have firsthand experience of domestic violence in their home. DV appears to be a cycle that perpetuates itself from one generation to the next. Children who witness DV are at high risk for long-term developmental, social, and psychological dysfunctions. Focusing on treating the children with empirically supported intervention programs may help alleviate the effects. This research paper examines children’s intervention programs, and discussion of how these interventions can be implemented in the community will follow.

Likeness within a Christian Environment

This study investigates the correlation between groups and religious ideas. It is hypothesized that people who tend to have strong religious views associate with groups that believe the same thing and vice versa. Participants in this student will complete a survey asking questions regarding their religious beliefs and their preferences in groups.

Doll of Hope

Utilizing the 3 branches of my IDS focus (English, Education and History), I have written and illustrated a children’s book titled “Doll of Hope.” This is a tale about two little girls attending the Japanese Immersion School in Eugene. While playing ‘dress-up,’ the girls find a beautiful doll. They discover she is a missing ‘Friendship Doll.’ much of the book is based on the history of two dolls, Miss Kanagawa, and Miss Fukuoka, who were given to Oregon in 1927. A festival highlights their reunion!
