The cash method is more of an immediate recognition of revenue and expenses. When someone sells something for cash they will wright down what they sell and how much it was so at the end of the day they will know how much they sold and if they were paid the correct amount of money. According to Accounting Made Simple by Mike Piper, “The problem with the cash method, however, is that it doesn’t always reflect the economic reality of a situation.” 

The accrual accounting method is more based on anticipated revenue and expenses. According to Investopedia “Under this method, revenue is accounted for when it is earned. Unlike the cash method, the accrual method records revenue when a product or service is delivered to a customer with the expectation that money will be paid in the future.” This means that you track the money that you should be paid with high expectations that you will be paid in the future. 

If your starting a business now or will be in the future start with the cash method because it will be easier. 

Some of the reasons offered in the Psalms for long-term optimism. According to Wikipedia “Optimism is an attitude reflecting a belief or hope that the outcome of some specific endeavor, or outcomes in general, will be positive, favorable, and desirable.” Optimism is basically a hopeful mode about something when there is not too much hope to have. Apparently there are ten Psalms about hope. One is Psalms 34:17-20:

When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears,
and rescues them from all their troubles.

The Lord is near to the brokenhearted,
and saves the crushed in spirit.

Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
but the Lord rescues them from them all.

He keeps all their bones;
not one of them will be broken.

There is also Psalm 71: 1-6

In you, O Lord, I take refuge;
let me never be put to shame.

In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me;
incline your ear to me and save me.

Be to me a rock of refuge,
a strong fortress, to save me,
for you are my rock and my fortress.

Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked,
from the grasp of the unjust and cruel.

For you, O Lord, are my hope,
my trust, O Lord, from my youth.

Upon you I have leaned from my birth;
it was you who took me from my mother’s womb.

My praise is continually of you…

A lot of long-termed optimism is David asking God to deliver him from his enemies. One of these is Psalm 59:

1 Deliver me from my enemies, O God;
    be my fortress against those who are attacking me.
2 Deliver me from evildoers
    and save me from those who are after my blood.

3 See how they lie in wait for me!
    Fierce men conspire against me
    for no offense or sin of mine, Lord.
4 I have done no wrong, yet they are ready to attack me.
    Arise to help me; look on my plight!
5 You, Lord God Almighty,
    you who are the God of Israel,
rouse yourself to punish all the nations;
    show no mercy to wicked traitors.c]

6 They return at evening,
    snarling like dogs,
    and prowl about the city.
7 See what they spew from their mouths—
    the words from their lips are sharp as swords,
    and they think, “Who can hear us?”
8 But you laugh at them, Lord;
    you scoff at all those nations.

9 You are my strength, I watch for you;
    you, God, are my fortress,
10     my God on whom I can rely.

God will go before me
    and will let me gloat over those who slander me.
11 But do not kill them, Lord our shield,d]
    or my people will forget.
In your might uproot them
    and bring them down.
12 For the sins of their mouths,
    for the words of their lips,
    let them be caught in their pride.
For the curses and lies they utter,
13     consume them in your wrath,
    consume them till they are no more.
Then it will be known to the ends of the earth
    that God rules over Jacob.

14 They return at evening,
    snarling like dogs,
    and prowl about the city.
15 They wander about for food
    and howl if not satisfied.
16 But I will sing of your strength,
    in the morning I will sing of your love;
for you are my fortress,
    my refuge in times of trouble.

17 You are my strength, I sing praise to you;
    you, God, are my fortress,
    my God on whom I can rely.

In this Psalm David is asking for deliverance from his enemies. He has optimism that God will save him from his enemies (which He does). That is what men faithful to God do. They pray and have optimism that God will answer their prayers.

One of my favorite product based companies is Amazon. You can get almost anything from it. My parents get school books, gifts, clothes, and other things that I may not know of. Sometimes my dad gets plants from Amazon. All they need to do is get on the internet, look up Amazon, find what they need for a reasonable price, buy it, then be patient for a day or two until it arrives. That is simple.

Another one of my favorite product based companies is Aldi. Aldi is a store that sells mainly food. My mom goes there all the time because it has cheap prices and not a ton of food with plastic in it. 

One more of my favorite product based companies is Target. We go to Target to get gifts for people, gift cards, makeup (for mom of course), and Treats we don’t usually get. 

 

According to Wikipedia ” Plato was a Greek philosopher born in Athens during the Classical period in Ancient Greece.” He made an allegory called “Allegory of the Cave.” I will write about this and philosopher kings. 

According to Philosophyzer, “The ‘Allegory Of The Cave’ is a theory put forward by Plato, concerning human perception. Plato claimed that knowledge gained through the senses is no more than opinion and that, in order to have real knowledge, we must gain it through philosophical reasoning.” 

A king is someone who rules and most of them are hungry for power, so a philosopher king must be a person who is hungry for wisdom. And that is what Plato was.

How important is the concept of historical sanctions in the Psalms? Psalms is a book found in the Bible. In all it has 150 chapters. It’s longest chapter “Psalms 119” is the longest chapter in the Bible. Most of the psalms were written by king David. According to the dictionary Psalms is “A sacred song or hymn, in particular any of those contained in the Biblical Book of Psalms and used in Christian and Jewish worship.” Psalms are soothing and sometimes if someone is scared they will read a Psalm to calm them down. Psalms are not just meant for soothing. They are important to understand the power and authority of God. Some Psalms are written by David’s son Solomon, but most people know who David is. 

Many Psalms are the author of that Psalm asking God for help or thanking God for the help He has given. A common theme in Psalm is Gods power. Most Psalms are talking about the power and authority God has. Some Psalms ask Him for forgiveness or for His blessing. Others will be praising God in their Psalms. Some also tell about battels that happen and the author is thanking God for victory. But all Psalms are about God. 

Psalms are songs focused on one thing, God. They can be soothing and comforting, but they all have one meaning. The most famous Psalm is Psalm 23.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Psalm is a very good book and if you haven’t please read it.

When the Trojan war came to an end Odysseus decided to return home to his wife and son. Odysseus and his men get hungry on the way back so when they found an island they stoped there and looked for food. They go into a cave to see if anyone lives there and a cyclops comes in. The cyclops shuts the door and makes a fire then sees Odysseus and and his men. The cyclops eats two men and agrees to eat Odysseus last because of the wine he made. The cyclops goes to sleep then Odysseus and his men put a spear into the fire until it was red the stuck it into the cyclops eye.

They escape and sail to an island called Aeolia. There the king of winds lived. Aeolus greeted Odysseus and his men well. Odysseus asked if Aeolus could make the winds take them to their island and he agreed. When they were almost home Odysseus’s men thought there was gold in the bag that held the east, south, and north winds in it and opened the bag. the winds leapt and blew them back to Aeolia. Aeolus became furious and made them leave his island.

Soon they came to another island and this time Odysseus sent three men to investigate. Those three found a girl getting water and she told them to go to the king of that island where they would be welcomed. The three went to the king and found out that the people were cannibals! The king jumped on one and ate him alive while the others ran back to tell Odysseus. The cannibals started throwing huge boulders at the ships and only Odysseus’s escaped.

Soon they came to another island called Aedea. Odysseus sent 23 men to investigate. Those men found a castle and a woman named Circe offered them some food. They ate like hogs so Circe who was an enchantress turned them into hogs. One man escaped and told Odysseus and he went himself to confront her. On the way a god gave Odysseus an herb so Circes magic couldn’t work on him. Odysseus made her turn his men back into people and to tell him the way home.

They were to go to a river and make a blood sacrifice and a ghost would tell them how to reach home. After that they sailed past a cave and a six headed monster came out and ate six men. The boat escaped and came to the island of the sun god. The crew, but not Odysseus ate two of the sun gods cattle and that made Zeus so mad that he threw a lightning bolt at the ship. Only Odysseus survived so he made a raft and sailed home where his wife and son hadn’t forgotten about him. Odysseus disguised as a beggar and found out that many men were trying to marry his wife so he killed all of them and lived the rest of his life with his wife and his son.

Step one get attention, step two identify the problem or need, step three position your product (or service) as the solution, step four prove your case, and step five ask for the order. 

Step one, Get attention. There are many ways to get peoples attention like a billboard or an add on the internet. Sometimes you might see little signs in the ground when your driving. 

Step two, Identify the problem. On step one I mentioned a billboard On a billboard you can state a problem most businesses have, say you can fix it and the price it is. Or if you have a restaurant then you could make an add about it. 

Step three, Position your product (or service) as the solution. I already said this, but on a billboard you can state how your business helps other businesses.

Step four, Prove your case. Well you cannot write a lot on a billboard, but if someone wants to try your business, but doesn’t know if they can trust it they may look it up on the internet. That is why you need to have an article about your business where people reading it know they can trust your business.

Step five, Ask for order. If they choose no then there’s always more people, but if they say yes then GREAT JOB! I hope that L could help you with this paper.

What was the of importance of ethics and sanctions in the story of Noah and the Flood? Noah is one of the most well known people in the Bible for building the ark. In Genesis 6:8 it states that “Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.” During Noah’s time everyone was wicked except Noah, his wife, their three sons, and their wives who all loved God. Since there was s much wickedness on earth God regrated creating man. So He decided to flood the earth and start over, but instead of destroying al man God saved Noah and his family. God told them to make an ark out of Gopherwood and pitch. No one today really knows what Gopherwood is because it may have gotten destroyed in the flood. The ark may have taken up to 75 years to build! Genesis 6:15 says “This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high.” That’s about the size of one and a half football fields. Genesis 6:16-22 “16 Make a roof for it, leaving below the roof an opening one cubit high all around. Put a door in the side of the ark and make lower, middle and upper decks. 17 I am going to bring floodwaters on the earth to destroy all life under the heavens, every creature that has the breath of life in it. Everything on earth will perish. 18 But I will establish my covenant with you, and you will enter the ark—you and your sons and your wife and your sons’ wives with you. 19 You are to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive with you. 20 Two of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind of creature that moves along the ground will come to you to be kept alive. 21 You are to take every kind of food that is to be eaten and store it away as food for you and for them. 22 Noah did everything just as God commanded him.” When Noah finished building the ark he, his family, and the animals went on board the ship. And after seven days God shut the door. Noah was six hundred years old when it started to rain. They were on the boat for over a year and during all that time all the animals were friends and ate plants. When it was done raining Noah sent out ravens. Then he sent out a dove to see if the waters had receded and the dove came back. after seven days he sent out the dove and it came back with an olive leaf! After seven more days he sent out the dove and it never came back. Soon enough God told Noah to come out of the ark. Noah and his family gave an offering to God and God made a promise never to flood the earth again and that promise was a rainbow.

In this week of 10th Grade Business for Ron Paul Curriculum I have been learning about franchise. According to Franchise.org “A franchise (or franchising) is a method of distributing products or services involving a franchisor, who establishes the brand’s trademark or trade name and a business system, and a franchisee, who pays a royalty and often an initial fee for the right to do business under the franchisor’s name and system.” This means that you pay a fee of a business to run that part of the business. Some examples are Taco Bell, Chick-fil-a, and Aldi. 

When you go independent you do your own thing. There are many things that a franchise can help you with that going independent can not. For one if you go independent your business may not be successful while with a franchise you know you will get money. There are many other things that a franchise can help you with that going independent can not.

According to Franchise.org: “There are two different types of franchising relationships. Business Format Franchising is the type most identifiable. In a business format franchise, the franchisor provides to the franchisee not just its trade name, products and services, but an entire system for operating the business.” So if you are thinking about starting a business then maybe try franchising first, but if you already have you probably know how to keep a business running.

There is not much known about Mycenaean Greece. But some things we do know about them are that they were military aggressive and they traded widely. There could of been a Trojan war, but no one really knows. At a time there was a dark age where trade stopped and there was fighting all over the place.

In the Iliad there was a man named Hector. Hector was a Trojan. He was well-known because he helped win a battle. He was killed by Achilleas. Achilleas dragged Hectors dead body around on the ground tied to a chariot and doesn’t bury him. Then Hectors father pleads to Achilleas and gets his son back to bury him.
