chionging korean/japanese/malay/hindustan/english
chinese/taiwan/hongkong/shows or plainly just having
sweet time sleeping beauty in the bed. LOL!
and as for lecturers busy marking our damn ZHAI
papers hahahas!

i decided to update the new
template cause its like a NEW year!!!!
so may good luck and health follow us all too!

anyway the main point of asking you all
to read this update is because there is
an impromptu last minute mini class outing
on thursday.

the outing theme is to
SWEAT it out!

haha! :)

we are going to play

you see it right!
BADMINTON!

we are going to do some real hard
SMASH-ing xD

it's a good for us to work out
and also at the same time
strengthen the class bonding!
:)

we had book already badminton court 6&8.
but i dont think it would be enough so do
help us book some other court as well..
cause the portal allow only a student per hour booking(poisson distribution here)..
the link could be found on the right under "TP booking Facilities"
P/s Please update your system java in order to book it..

Please book from 3pm onwards.
Select : 4th March 2010.
And desired Court.

so teachers if you are free,
do come down and join us!
we can do teacher-student badminton
battle :P

for those who cant
play badminton,alternative for it is
that you can also bring soccer
ball, basketball or simply your track shoe
and RUN!

hope to see you all there!

a gentle reminder
there would be also a class outing
on the 24 march 2010.

More information will be
posted prior nearer

There a twist

in this event.

Like any typical Class BBQ

in singapore, one of the party in the

class will buy the items and set the pit etc

However this wont happened in 1B23 =)

the Class Commintee as decided that

everyone of us has part to play... like phua chu kang

+"sars is a virus~" tune kicks in.+

so everyone will be separated into different teams

and will buy the item listed below and meet pit and start to start pit etc..

take note that there is a budget for every

group given (use own money to buy item

first later at pit claim with receipts)

Event Place : East Coast Park

and this is not possible without
your endless contribution of

ba2 lecture 7: cash flow statement I

2009-12-03T22:28:00.002+08:00

Hi hi 1B23, this is Richard here trying to help you regarding 3 Dec ba2 lecture 7:cash flow statement I.

I noticed that the whole lecture was alright for most of us except for one part which is the changes in the current assets and current liabilities under the cash flows from operating activities:working capital changes. People start wondering why would increase in a current asset decreases cash and why increase in a current liability increases cash. etc. So I decided to post in 1B23 blogspot to help you guys out.

First of all, you have to memorize the format of a cash flow statement(compulsory). However, you don't have to memorize the changes in working capital. Meaning that you don't have to memorize increase in current assets=cash outflow, increase in current liabilities= cash inflow.I will teach you my method,it's fast and easy.

All you have to do is to think of the fundamental skill that you learned which is the double entry rule.

Example:
Increase in inventory(current asset).You imagine you are purchasing inventory using cash.So the double entry is Debit inventory, Credit cash.
Credit cash= decrease cash due to the fact that cash is debit nature.

So there you go...this explains why an increase in a current asset decreases cash. You don't have to memorize anything at all. Just use my method.

My method is applicable to all the 4 situation(increase/decrease in current asset,increase/decrease in current liabilities).

Another example:
Decrease in current liability. Imagine you are paying cash to your creditor for amount owed. So the double entry is debit creditors, credit cash. Therefore,credit cash means decrease in cash.

This is not important for now as lecture 7 is not tested in our mid sem test but it will definitely be tested in our class test and end of sem test.

That's all.Thanks,I hope my method is able to help you.

OB Extinction examples

A and B talk excessively in class that it disrupts the class. The teacher stops the talking by sending A out of the class. Thus, this is an example of extinction.

Why?
Cuz the teacher is removing the cause (at the students' enjoyable session expense) that causes undesirable behaviour.

I'm your OB teacher.

For people researching on Euthanasia...
Right-to-die case triggers Italian crisis
Feb. 6, 2009
link: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29057288/

ROME - Italy's government issued an emergency decree Friday to prevent a woman in a vegetative state from having her feeding tubes disconnected, but the president immediately said he wouldn't sign it.
As a result, the woman's family vowed to go ahead and disconnect the tubes, and her nutritional intake was being reduced in preparation.
President Giorgio Napolitano said the government decree was unconstitutional since it violated the "fundamental" separation of powers between the executive and judicial branches. He said it defied court rulings that have favored removing Eluana Englaro's feeding tubes.
President refuses to sign decree to block hospital from removing tubes. Eluana Englaro was moved to a clinic in northern Italy that agreed to gradually stop feeding her. The transfer set off a firestorm, with appeals from anti-euthanasia groups and Catholic Church officials to keep her alive.
main point: Italy does not allow euthanasia. Patients have a right to refuse treatment, but there is no law that allows them to give advance directions on what treatment they wish to receive if they become unconscious.

Shocking news for Euthanasia... we're talking about....
1) Associated Press Nov. 14, 2008
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27721096/
Studies in the 1990s found that 15 to 20 such babies were probably euthanized illegally each year in the Netherlands, a country of 16 million people. Doctors were hardly ever prosecuted because authorities were reluctant to press charges in a country where euthanasia has been widely accepted as ethical.

2) Italy rules dad can end daughter’s life support Nov. 13, 2008

Anyone doing online social networking? Here's some information for you... :]
Ning, Twitter and MySpace Attacked
Post on 1 April
link: http://online-social-networking.com/

Hundreds of Ning social networks including mine, Outside the Box and Let’s Follow Each Other, were attacked over the past week by “free ringtones” spam. Bogus users popped up everywhere and posted their free ringtones spam on as many member profiles as they could.
Network creators and administrators reacted by changing their site settings to require new member approval. This measure has stopped the free ringtones girl but not without some ongoing inconvenience to both administrators and would-be site members.
Similar spam outbreaks occur frequently on Twitter and MySpace where no simple solution is yet in sight.

For BA tut today, we went through tut 3 and did one class work assignment...

Question for thought... (: (admin is being lame here... :p)
Should our Tutorial teachers show us the sample answer for the question after we present or should they not... ?

Admin would like to apologise for not updating yesterday.. It kind of broke the record of updating yesterday :[ But rest assured... it will not happen again :D

Please read up the Group Project and its task specifications =]

Organisational Behaviour-Personality

Not sure the link can get you a free assessment: http://www.testsonthenet.com/DISC/disc-infoold.htm (fyi, she did not have a chance to test on this site herself, if anyone of you manage to have the free DISC assessment via this site, please let Miss Tan know. Thanks)
However, she will be trying to ‘dig’ out her old DISC & MBTI instruments (if she can find) and let us have them the next time when we see each other- next Monday.
Nevertheless, the followings are for your knowledge:

DISC

DiSC is a model of human behavior that helps to understand "why people do what they do." The dimensions of Dominance, influencing, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness make up the model and interact with other factors to describe human behavior.

Each of us has developed a distinct way of thinking, feeling and acting which becomes our behavioral style. Our unique patterns distinguish us from one another, and express our individual identities just like our thumbprint. Each DiSC style has great strengths, and potential limitations if overused.

Dominance	Influence
Effective Traits: Direct, Self Assured, Gets Results When overused may become: Dictatorial, Demanding, Sarcastic	Effective Traits: People Oriented, Persuasive When overused may become: Talks too much, Lacks Focus, Exaggerates
Conscientiousness	Steadiness
Effective Traits: Accurate, Detail Oriented When overused may become: Perfectionist, Overly Critical, Aloof	Effective Traits: Listener, Loyal, Consistent When overused may become: Indecisive, resists change, Passive

DiSC provides individuals with valuable feedback information that will enhance personal and professional effectiveness. Become "people smart" - by learning to understand yourself and others better.The true essence of DiSC is learning about behavioral diversity and Emotional Intelligence. Individuals can learn to adapt their behavior, and move from judging those who are different from themselves to honoring, valuing and respecting others.

http://www.discprofile.com/whatisdisc.htm

MBTI

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is a self-report questionnaire designed to make Jung's theory of psychological types understandable and useful in everyday life. MBTI results identify valuable differences between normal, healthy people, differences that can be the source of much misunderstanding and miscommunication. Taking the MBTI inventory and receiving feedback will enhance your own understanding and self-awareness. It will also help you appreciate people who differ from you. Understanding your MBTI type is self-affirming and encourages cooperation with others.
• www.myersbriggs.org

• www.type-resources.com
• http://jenni.glier.org/MBdesc.html#INTJ

Perception: People's behaviour is based on their perception of what reality is, not reality itself.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat.
Sift together flour, salt and baking soda, and set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla, and beat until well combined. Add peanut butter, and beat until smooth. Add flour mixture, and beat on low until combined.
Form each cookie into a ball using about a tablespoon of dough. Place cookies on the prepared baking sheets, about 1 inch apart. Place cookie sheet in freezer for about 10-15 minutes to chill. If they stay in the freezer too long they will be hard to flatten, so place them in the oven for a few minutes, and then take them out to press them.
Remove from freeze and flatten them slightly with your palm or the bottom of a cup or spoon. Then dip a fork into flour, and tap off excess. Press fork slightly into the cookies to make a decorative top.
Bake until golden, about 15 minutes. Check and if needed, bake about 5 minutes longer. Remove from oven, and place on a wire rack until completely cooled.

Chocolate Caramel Cookie Bites
Adapted from Smitten Kitchen’s Brownie Roll-Out Cookies

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa*
1 bag of caramels, unwrapped
1/2 cup raw or turbinado sugar (for rolling)

Directions:

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Whisk dry flour, salt and baking powder in bowl and set aside.
- Mix butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla and cocoa in mixer. Gradually add flour mixture, and mix until smooth.
- Wrap dough ball in plastic and chill for at least one hour.
- Roll out cookie dough on floured counter. Cut into roughly 1 1/2 - 2 inch diameter circles or squares (the shape and precision of the cut section doesn’t really matter since you will be wrapping it around the caramel anyway), brushing extra deposits of flour off the top.
- Roll the dough around an unwrapped caramel. Roll the dough back and forth in your hands until it forms a smooth ball.
- Roll the ball in a bowl of raw or turbinado sugar, pressing slightly to coat with sugar.
- Bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 10-12 minutes until the cookies are firm.
- Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

* I used regular old Hershey’s cocoa (I thought it would be most appropriate since Milk Duds are a Hershey’s product) but feel free to substitute a higher quality chocolate if you have it. I’m sure it would just add to the intensity of the chocolate flavor.

Note: These are best served fresh from the oven or slightly reheated (a quick zap in the microwave will do the trick). This warms the caramel up, making it gooey and delicious. Served at room temperature they are still yummy but the caramels are chewier.

Hey all!

It's Darilyn crashing into the blog! (Yes my dear dear admin, I don't play hide and seek with people) Apparently, the admin gave me access to the blog so that explains why I'm here.

Since life is so mundane, I shall post some redundant stuff that is absolutely unrelated to school work/school life/whatever here. (I'm allowed to do that right?)

Remember that Chris woman who gave us the word thing whereby we must remove every letter from the word preceding it? Yeah, I kinda solved it in the midst of the lesson. Simply cuz I have a very short attention span. Enough of that. Here's what I solved...

Startling (given word)
Starting (L is removed)
Staring (T is removed)
String (A is removed)
Sting (R is removed)
Sing (T is removed)
Sin (G is removed)
In (S is removed)
I (Obviously N is removed)

Okay, I guess that's all I wanted to blog about. HAHAHAHA.

Boomer Sooner,
Darilyn!
