Main post (minimum 250 words): The key elements of fiction are character, plot (conflict and resolution), setting, scene and summary, and text and style (point-of-view, syntax, diction). Read both Edgar Allan Poe’s short story “The Black Cat” (http://www.gutenberg.org/files/2148/2148-h/2148-h.htm#link2H_4_0006) and James Joyce’s short story “Araby” (http://www.gutenberg.org/files/2814/2814-h/2814-h.htm#link2H_4_0003). Discuss the ways the authors use the elements of fiction, comparing and contrasting as necessary. What stands out? How does each author maximize each element to make the story as meaningful or powerful as it is? Include for discussion each of the elements of fiction.

 Accounting Framework and Governing Boards

Write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which you:

1. Create an argument in agreement or disagreement of the premise that domestic and / or international governing boards are effective in setting and enforcing standards. Provide support for your position.
2. Choose a key area of disagreement between GAAP and IFRS, and positions held by the FASB, IASB, and the SEC on the identified area. Evaluate the positions of each party on the issue in question. Propose a new strategy that would better accommodate all of the parties involved.
3. Choose a recently proposed accounting regulation. Evaluate how and where the proposed regulation would impact financial statements. Provide feedback as to all or part of the proposed regulation with which you either agree or disagree.
4. Predict at least one (1) area of accounting regulation that may be changed, or where a new regulation could be generated. Assess how and where that potential change might impact financial statements or financial reporting. 
5. Use at least three (3) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not quality as academic resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length

Resource availability situation. Must analyze impact on the project and identify alternatives to bring project back on schedule. Risks must be addressed as a result of each action.

After you met with Ben and Jennifer to determine the schedule for the training component, you decided that Jennifer’s team would be responsible for the training component. This will ensure that it is closely tied into the marketing process/content from a skills perspective. Ben and Jennifer just turned in the schedules for their teams, and you are integrating them into an overall schedule. You notice that both are asking for the same marketing resource: Emily. Emily has been with PSCHSE in her position for a few years and is known for her creativity, energy, and knowledge of current marketing operations. She is not known, however, for being timely (she misses quite a few deadlines). Emily can only dedicate 50% of her available time to the project; the rest of her time is essential to marketing operations. When you look at both their plans, you determine that Emily is being asked to spend 80% of her available time on the project.

You have another resource in mind for the project: Nick. Nick just started at PSCHSE a few months ago, but he was a summer intern for the last two summers. Unfortunately, he and Ben bumped heads last summer, and Ben wants nothing to do with him. Nick supports Emily in the operational activities (which will change as a result of this initiative) and is also very creative. He also has limited experience with training delivery (but not development). He is being targeted as the super-user of the new CRM system.

Go to the Discussion Board and answer the following questions:

• What resource conflicts do you see? List several.
• What choices do you have for resolving them? Give 3–5 options.
• What are the risks associated with each choice?
• What choice will you make? Why? (Reference the risks and how you will manage them).
