“STONYFIELD FARM GOES TO THE BLOGS”

The Stonyfield Farm story is a kind of legend. In 1983, friends and social activists Gary Hirschberg and Samuel Kaymen started with a good yogurt recipe, seven cows, and a dream. They established an organic yogurt company in Wilton, New Hampshire, to take advantage of baby boomers' growing concerns about natural foods and health, and to revitalize the dairy industry in New England. Stonyfield Farms has grown to become the third largest organic company in the world, with annual sales of more than $ 50 million in 50 states. It produces more than 18 million glasses of yogurt each month.

Stonyfield Farrn's spectacular growth is attributable in part to its ability to offer a product to a special niche market - people who value healthy food and want to protect the environment. These values ​​have become part of the "personality" of the company. Stonyfleld promises to use only natural ingredients and milk that has not been produced with antibiotics, synthetic growth hormones, or pesticides or toxic fertilizers. The company donates 10 percent of its profits each year to projects that help protect or restore the planet.

As the company expanded, management feared that it might lose touch with its loyal and committed customer base. Advertising based on traditional media was expensive and did not really help the company to "connect" with the kind of people it was trying to reach. This company prefers word-of-mouth techniques that deliver its message to customers in ways more compatible with its popular, organic, and activist-friendly image.

Stonyfield has multiple active email newsletters with more than 500,000 subscribers, and typically posts messages promoting causes that he supports on the tops of his yogurt glasses. Now she's turning to blogging to further personalize her customer relationships and reach even more people. Inspired by Howard Dean's presidential campaign and Dean's blogger tutorials, CEO Hirschberg became convinced that Stonyfield could use blogging to create a more personal relationship with consumers, different from the traditional sales relationship. "Blogs give us what we call a handshake with consumers" and "a little more access to us

Stonyfield now publishes two separate blogs on his website — Baby Babble and Bovine Bugle. At one time Stonyfield was running five blogs, but decided to withdraw three of them because they weren't attracting enough readers. Baby Babble provides a forum for Stonyfield employees and other parents of young children to meet and discuss child development and balance work with the family. Stonyfield created that blog because baby yogurts are one of its most popular product lines, and parenting blogs seem to appeal to a large number of readers. The Bovine Bugle provides reports about Jonathan's Organic Dairy Farm. Gates in Franklin, Vermont, a member of the organic cooperative that supplies milk for Stonyfield products.

This blog sparks a large number of nostalgic comments from readers who remember their childhood on a farm. As organic food grows in importance, these blogs help the company showcase the aspects that make it different from other brands and invite customers to help them in this endeavor. Stonyfield continually posts new content to each of the blogs. Readers can subscribe to any of them and automatically receive updates when available. And of course they can reply to these posts.

The benefits of blogging for Stonyfield have not yet been quantified so far, but management is confident there are real benefits. Blogs have created a positive response for the Stonyfield brand by providing readers with something that inspires them or sparks their interest -If blogs give new information to readers, inspire them to protect the environment or ask them for opinions, the administration believes that They will remember the brand when they are in front of the yogurt shelves in the supermarket or grocery store and that they will take a Stonyfleld product instead of a competitor when it is time to choose. Stonyfield has a fairly large website. Blogs offer a way to highlight some of the content on the Web that would otherwise be lost. This, too, helps drive some blog readers to buy Stonyfield products.

ASC 250 “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections”

            This case clarified the treatment of accounting changes after acquisitions. As we have seen, FASB’s guidance comes through ASC 805 “Business Combinations.” However, the guidance for other types of accounting changes is in ASC 250 “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.” This section will integrate accounting changes after an acquisition with the accounting changes listed in ASC 250.

            ASC 250 lists four types of accounting changes.

Change in Accounting Principle – for example, a new revenue-recognition standard

Change in Accounting Estimate – for example, change in estimated useful life of a depreciable asset

Change in Reporting Entity

Correction of an Error in previously issued financial statements – for example, last period’s inventory and therefore retained earnings were overstated

            One particularly confusing element of ASC 250 is the category called “change in reporting entity.” To the unwary observer this sounds a lot like an acquisition, but that is actually not the case. The reason that the distinction is critical is that ASC 250 prescribes a retroactive accounting to “change in reporting entity,” but as we just saw the accounting treatment for acquisitions is prospective, with only limited pro-formal retroactive disclosures.

            The key accounting question for these four types of changes and errors is whether the change is accounted for retrospectively or prospectively. In the former case, we adjust previous financial statements to reflect the new information. In the latter case, we make no adjustments to previous financial statements.

            To help you become more familiar with these terms and the requirements of the codification, Work Schedule 6 lists the four scenarios covered by ASC 250. As the schedule shows, three of the four scenarios are treated retrospectively, including a “change in reporting entity.” To gain a better understanding of what retrospective and prospective means, please identify the paragraph number that prescribes the appropriate accounting treatment (retrospective or prospective) to the four scenarios. Although you are only asked to identify the paragraph number, it is suggested that you also identify the specific word(s) in the paragraph that indicate retrospective or prospective treatment for each of the four types of changes.

            As the schedule indicates, changes and corrections are accounted for retrospectively, with the exception of a change in estimate which is accounted for prospectively. Our focus here is to clarify that changes in accounting entity does not cover acquisitions. According the ASC 250-10-34-21, “Changes in Accounting entity” consists of an accounting change that results in a “different reporting entity”. To the casual observer, acquisitions would seem to fit this category, with the requirement of retroactive restatement of all prior periods as if the acquired company had always been a part of the acquirer. However, this is not the case, as ASC 250-10-20 indicates (emphasis added):

A change in reporting entity is limited mainly to the following:

Presenting consolidated or combined financial statements in place of financial statements of individual entities

Changing specific subsidiaries that make up the group of entities for which consolidated financial statements are presented

Changing the entities included in combined financial statements.

            Item (b) at first view seems to include acquisitions, however the codification adds the following exclusionary statement:  

Neither a business combination accounted for by the acquisition method nor the consolidation of a VIE pursuant to topic 810 is a change in reporting entity.

            To summarize, “change in reporting entity”, which are accounted for retroactively, relates to the decision to consolidate existing subsidiaries (a topic that is sometimes covered in a senior-level accounting course). It does not relate to newly-acquired subsidiaries, which are accounted for prospectively with limited retrospective disclosures. The main takeaway is that acquisitions are not covered by “change in reporting entity” and receive prospective accounting treatment with only limited retrospective disclosures.

Week 4 Assignment
HTML – Creating a Simple Web Page

“HTML or HyperText Markup Language as it is formally known is the main markup language for creating web pages and other information that can be displayed in a webbrowser”. It was created by Tim Berners-Lee in 1989 as a user friendly way of sharing information on the Internet.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML

Assignment Instructions - Create a simple HTML Web Page that includes hyperlinks to three of your favorite websites. Use the online HTML Tryit Editor linked below to prototype your page using Steps 1 to 4 to get you started.

http://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_basic

Your completed HTML Web Page for this assignment should incorporate elements from each of the four Steps below. When you are finished simply submit you HTML code via the designated assignment link. The content and design of your web page is up to you. It does not need to be elaborate or complicated. We are suggesting a simple web page with links to your three favorite web sites. You can use a different motif if you like – just be sure your web page includes at least three hyperlinks. Your goal is to incorporate the HTML tag elements below to creating your web page. Try to be creative and have fun with this. Feel free to experiment and include more advance HTML tags if you like. There are numerous HTML tutorials that you can Google for or watch on Youtube.

To get started, we suggest you copy and paste the HTML Code elements from each of the four steps below to the left side of the Tryit Editor (linked above). After you copy and paste each element you will need to click the ‘Submit Code’ button in the Tryit Editor to see the result. Try each additional HTML tag as outlined in steps 2 to 4 below. Add these commands to the Step 1 code below. Be sure to copy and paste each new HTML command inside the body of the Step 1 program (as has been done with the <h1> header tag pair</h1> in Step 1).

Step 1: Copy and paste the HTML program below to the Tryit Editor referenced above. This will be your starting HTML Code for your web page. Be sure to click ‘Submit Code’to see the results.

     <html>
     <head>
     <title>This is a title</title>
     </head>
     <body>
     <p>Hello world!</p>
     </body>
     </html>

Step 2: Implement three or more Hyperlinks within the HTML body of your web page as illustrated in the example below. Be sure you paste this HTML statement inside the body in Step 1.

     <a href="http://www.cnn.com"><b>CNN News</b></a>

Step 3: Implement two or more physical style tags in your web page (bold <b>, italics <i>, underline <u>).

     <b> This is Bold </b>

Step 4: Implement a change in text color as illustrated below in your web page. #00ff00 is Green, #0000ff is Blue. See if you can combine colors, i.e. Green & Blue for example is #00ffff. Notice the relative position of the ff characters represent RGB (Red, Green, and Blue).

     <font color="#ff0000"> This is Red! </font>

Finally, just for fun – see if you can implement a Marquee tag. This is a deprecated tag,but it’s still fun to try. Can you nest a font style or font color tag within the Marquee? The Marquee tag is not a required element for your assignment.

     <MARQUEE LOOP="infinite">Your text here</MARQUEE>

Once you are happy with your final HTML document as prototyped in the Tryit Editor you can simply cut and paste your HTML code to a text editor (i.e. Microsoft Word) and save and submit this as a .pdf file using the designated submission link (or you can provide a screenshot).

Please note there is no requirement to actually run your web page in a web browser. If you would like to try and run your html file in a web browser you will need to save your HTML code in a text only format with a file extension of .htm or .html. Use WordPad or Notepad to do this. Then simply double click on the file and your web page should open in your default browser.

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on French wine, Italian cheese, and single malt Irish whiskey last year -- and could escalate them by the end of the week. That's worrying owners of specialty shops, restaurants and importers, some of whom have already raised prices on customers. "We're faced with a big dilemma. How much can we raise prices without losing our customer base," said Lou Di Palo, who runs the 110-year-old Di Palo's in Manhattan with his family. Most of what they sell, including cheeses, meats and wine, is imported from Italy -- and that's not something Di Palo intends to change to avoid the cost of the tariff. "If we have to shift a large portion of our inventory to American-made cheeses, then we'd be just like every other supermarket. That's not what people travel to Di Palo's for," he said. In October, the administration imposed a 25% tariff on a variety of goods worth $7.5 billion in retaliation for the subsidies Europe provided to aircraft maker Airbus. But since then, the administration has threatened to hike the rate up to 100% because of a lack of progress in resolving the issue. A decision could come this week, when an initial review period ends. Dozens of people testified before a US Trade Representative's Office hearing last month, protesting the European tariffs, as well as an additional set of duties Trump threatened over a French proposed tax on digital services -- which would affect large American tech companies like Facebook and Google. Those tariffs would have hit French champagne and handbags, but Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron have since agreed to a temporary truce. The Trump administration is targeting the iconic European goods, as well as imposing tariffs on aircraft in retaliation. Still, many of those who testified expressed frustration that wine, for example, was being taxed over an issue that had nothing to do with them. "It can be hard for customers to understand why these retaliatory tariffs are impacting their lives," said Amanda Smeltz, the wine director at Manhattan restaurants estela and Altro Paradiso, whose owner recently sent emails to customers asking them to submit written comments to USTR. It argued that the tariffs would make it hard for small businesses to survive. Smeltz fears that if a 100% tariff is imposed, certain items will disappear from the American market. "If you ever enjoyed a beautiful whiskey from Ireland or a fine bottle of wine on your birthday -- you can kiss those things goodbye," she added. The Trump administration is allowed to revise the tariffs every six months, changing the products included and the rate of the duty. That makes it hard for businesses to plan for the future. "We just don't know what's going to happen and its debilitating for our business," said Tom Gellert, principal of the Gellert Global Group, which owns five US-based food importing companies, including one of the biggest importers of cheese. The company has also paid new tariffs on cheeses from a variety of European countries as well as other products like olive oil from Spain, amounting to a total of $3 million since October 18. It has postponed making new capital investments in a cheese facility in New Jersey until there is more trade certainty.

Mr. Kent doesn't care about almost anything ... but himself and his money. So, when his power plant leaked radioactive goo that caused several species of wildlife to go extinct, he was only concerned with the public perception as it might affect his income and possible jail time.

Many rumors surfaced around the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. One of them is high concern over the mutation rate of the rare Springfield molted platypus. With barely more than 500 left in the wild, the word "extinction" has been tossed around. So, to quell the media, Mr. Kent had 30 of them captured, dissected, and analyzed to check for signs of mutation. He found that the mutation rate is 2% each month, but when they do mutate, they become sterile and cannot reproduce. With this information, he wants to create one of those newfangled computer simulations that the press loves so much. That's where you come in!

Specifications:

In this assignment, you will create a class called Animal_Category.

Your Animal_Category class is to contain the following data members:

• A string for appearance ( hair/fur/scale/feathers)
• a bool for nurse (true/false)
• a bool for cold_blooded (true/false)
• a bool for live_on_land (true/false)
• a bool for live_in_water (true/false)

Your Animal_Category class is to contain the following member functions:

• a constructor with arguments
• a print function

You will also create a class called Platypus. Below, we will describe what will define a platypus. You will also create a main function in which you will create objects of type platypus to test the functionality of your new user-defined type.

Your Platypus class is to contain the following data members:

• a static int for platypus_count (to increment upon creation of a new platypus and decrement upon destruction of a platypus)
• a float for weight
• an int for age (months)
• a string for name
• a char for gender
• a bool to indicate whether alive (or not)
• a bool to indicate whether mutant (or not)
• an Animal_Category for animal_type
• a constant mutation rate that is 2%

Member functions:

• a constructor with no arguments that creates a dead platypus
• a constructor that you can pass values to so as to establish its gender, weight, age, and name; it will default to alive and not mutant.
• a constant print function that will output to the screen the attributes of that platypus in a nice, easy to read format.
• an age_me function that returns nothing but increments the object's age. It will also calculate the chance that the object will become a mutant and when needed changes the value of the corresponding data member (remember that the mutation rate is 2% each month and it should become 100% for the platypus to become mutant).

Further, the platypus has a chance of becoming dead each time it ages. This chance is ten times the platypus' weight. A 5 pound platypus has a 50% chance of death. A 10 pound platypus (or heavier) has a 100% chance of death. Again here update the value of the corresponding data member when needed.

• a fight function that accepts another platypus object as a parameter. It will have the calling platypus attack the other (passed in) platypus. The survivor is based on a "fight ratio": it is calculated as (calling_platypus_weight/other_platypus_weight) * 50. A random value from 1 to 100 is generated. If it is less than the fight ratio, the calling platypus survives; otherwise the other platypus survives. You must to be able to have a statement like p1.fight(p2).print() (where p1 and p2 are objects of this class)
• an eat function that increases the weight of the platypus by a random amount from 0.1% to 5.0% of the platypus' current weight.
• A friend hatch function that will randomly set up a newborn platypus with alive=true, mutant=false, and age=0. Gender will randomly be 'm' or 'f' with equal probability. Weight will randomly be between 0.1 and 1.0 pounds. Name will default to “plipo”.

Think very carefully about writing the above functions and how they should be used. There are indeed circumstances when some functions should not execute. For example, a dead platypus shouldn't eat anything.

Your program should fully test your platypus class. It must call every member function in the platypus class. It must print to the screen what it is doing and show the changes that appear when the member functions are called. The fight function will require two platypuses: one to call the fight function and one to be a parameter in the fight function.

Step 1: Carefully read the following brief case study.

Bernice was hesitant during her initial counseling session because she feared what the therapist would think of her. The therapist focused on building a therapeutic alliance with Bernice by engaging in empathic, nonjudgmental listening. Soon, Bernice shared that she feared contamination. She was particularly upset by touching wood, mail, and canned goods. She also disliked touching silver flecks. By silver flecks, Bernice meant silver embossing on greeting cards, eyeglass frames, shiny appliances, and silverware. She was unable to state why these particular objects were special sources of possible contamination. Bernice became more distressed during the session, and she started sharing what made her come for counseling. Bernice shared that disturbing images pop in her mind, and the images are mind’s eye pictures of her “worst fear.” The images are so disturbing to Bernice that she showed marked distress when talking about them. She explained that the images were in regards to her child, “The person I love most in the world and would do anything to protect.”

Bernice explained that she feels compelled to do specific behaviors to try to reduce her distress. Bernice engages in a variety of rituals that, when taken together, take up much of her day. In the morning, she spends hours washing and rewashing. Between each bath she has to scrape away the outer layer of her bar of soap so that it will be free of germs. Bernice said that although the decontamination rituals are tiresome, the rituals she does to protect her child from harm are so detailed that Bernice has to repeat them several times to get them “right.” She said that she feels a sense of urgency to do the rituals perfectly to protect her child.

Step 2: Based on the Bernice Case Study, identify the most relevant psychological disorder associated with her symptoms and explain your rationale.

(Hint: Bernice does *not* have a specific phobia; she does not have “fear of germs.”)

Step 3: In your own words, explain what you have learned from the assigned readings about the psychological disorder you identified for the Bernice Case Study.

Step 4:  You will need to select at least *one* academic journal article that explains one treatment approach used for the psychological disorder you identified for the Bernice Case Study. To conduct your research on the treatment approach, please use one of the following methods:

You can search the following:   Monitor on Psychology (webpage, opens in a new tab). In the search box, type the disorder you identified. Then, you can locate an article about a treatment approach.

You can also search the PsychArticles Database, which you can access using the following steps. First click on:  SPC's LibraryOnline (webpage, opens in a new tab). Then, click "Search Online." Next, click "Databases by Subject." Next to "Social Sciences," click PsychArticles. In the search box, type the disorder you identified. Then, you can locate an article about a treatment approach.

You can also search Google Scholar (webpage, opens in a new tab). Google Scholar only provides an abstract, which is a summary. After you locate an abstract on Google Scholar, you will need to locate the full article onSPC's LibraryOnline (webpage, opens in a new tab).

In your own words, summarize the treatment approach you identified from the research you conducted.  Please avoid quoting the academic journal; instead, describe the treatment approach with depth and in your own words. Use APA style for in-text and reference page citations.

Step 5: Review the grading rubric (webpage, opens in new tab), which explains the expectations for your writing assignment.

Step 6: Submit your responses to Steps 2, 3, and 4 in the drop box. Please save your responses in PDF format or in RTF format if you are not using Word.

Step 7: After the writing assignment is graded, please access your rubric and feedback. The steps to do so are explained here:  https://mycoursessupport.spcollege.edu/dropbox-rubrics (webpage, opens in a new tab).
