Sapphira and the Slave Girl is Willa Cather's last novel, published in 1940.The story of Sapphira Dodderidge Colbert, a bitter but privileged white woman, who becomes irrationally jealous of Nancy, a beautiful young slave. The book balances an atmospheric portrait of antebellum Virginia against an unblinking view of the lives of Sapphira's slaves. * * * In this story I have called several of the characters by Frederick County surnames, but in no case have I used the name of a person whom I ever knew or saw. My father and mother, when they came home from Winchester or Capon Springs, often talked about acquaintances whom they had met. The names of those unknown persons sometimes had a lively fascination for me, merely as names: Mr. Haymaker, Mr. Bywaters, Mr. Householder, Mr. Tidball, Miss Snap. For some reason I found the name of Mr. Pertleball especially delightful, though I never saw the man who bore it, and to this day I don't know how to spell it. Willa Cather (Author)

Projektarbeit aus dem Jahr 2017 im Fachbereich BWL - Rechnungswesen, Bilanzierung, Steuern, Note: 1,9, Duale Hochschule Baden-Württemberg, Villingen-Schwenningen, früher: Berufsakademie Villingen-Schwenningen (Fakultät für Wirtschaft), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: ¿One of my great ambitions before I die is to fly in an aircraft that is on an airline¿s balance sheet.¿ Dieser oft zitierte Satz stammt vom ehemaligen Chairman des IASB Sir David Tweedie und beschreibt recht anschaulich die Probleme, die mit dem IAS 17 einhergehen. Im derzeit geltenden Standard (IAS 17) besteht ein Gebot zur Klassifizierung von Leasingverhältnissen nach Finance Leasing und Operating Leasing. Die damit verbundene und auch komplexe Einordnungsregelung, gibt dem Bilanzierenden hohe Ermessensspielräume. Durch die individuellen Vertragsausgestaltungen werden Leasingverhältnisse beim Leasingnehmer in der Praxis meist als Operating Leasing behandelt. Diese werden weder als Vermögenswerte noch als zukünftige Verbindlichkeiten in der Bilanz erfasst. Dies führt folglich zu einer Verzerrung der Bilanz sowie der VFE-Lage für Abschlussadressaten, sodass entscheidungsrelevante Tatsachen ggf. nur schwer vermittelt würden. Die genannte Problematik haben das International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) nach langer Zeit der Reformbestrebungen sowie Kontroversen im Januar 2016 zur Verabschiedung des neuen Leasingbilanzierungsstandards IFRS 16 bewogen. Dieser wird den bisher geltenden und oft kritisch behafteten Standard IAS 17 ersetzen.

I know my son. I know what he is and what he's not capable of. Revelling in the triumph of a high school football win, three newly friended boys find themselves at an ill-fated party - a party which ends with the school bully, Stanley, in the hospital. In the space of one disastrous evening, the futures of the three teenage "all stars? are thrown in the balance. MJ, Vikram and Diego are suspended for the football season, much to their shock and dismay. As their families gather to assess the damage - to their own relationships, their reputations, and their children's futures - each parent is confronted with their own inner turmoil, reacting, judging and finally confronting the crisis at hand. Our Beautiful Boys is a page-turning and incisive novel about masculinity, race, education and privilege, and the conflict that arises when all these collide. It asks the question that every parent has, at one time or another, contended with: how well can you ever truly know your own child?

"'The Eternal Dungeon is my home now,' the High Seeker said. But as he spoke, he lifted his face and looked at the Vovimian carving, as a man might look at a beloved he must leave forever." The Seekers (torturers) in the Eternal Dungeon have always expressed contempt toward the Hidden Dungeon in the neighboring kingdom of Vovim, whose torturers abuse prisoners without restraint. But the balance between mercy and hell is not so clear as might be thought in either dungeon, and now that balance is about to tip. Only the strength of love and integrity will determine the paths of two Seekers whose fortunes are bound together. A winner of the 2011 Rainbow Awards (within the "Eternal Dungeon" omnibus), this tale of love and adventure can be read on its own or as the third volume in The Eternal Dungeon, a speculative fiction series set in a nineteenth-century prison where the psychologists wield whips. The Eternal Dungeon series is part of Turn-of-the-Century Toughs, a cycle of alternate history series (Young Toughs, Waterman, Life Prison, Commando, Michael's House, The Eternal Dungeon, and Dark Light) about adults and youths on the margins of society, and the people who love them. Set in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the novels and stories take place in an alternative version of America that was settled by inhabitants of the Old World in ancient times. As a result, the New World retains certain classical and medieval customs.
