Impairment of Fixed Assets

Hi All,
Can any one help me in understanding what is Impairment of Fixed Assets, As you must be aware, the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India has made it mandatory for all entities to account for impairment of assets. The institute has brought about such requirement vide its Accounting Standard 28 (AS 28).
As my client asking to implement it.
What all additional steps involve in this.
Regards
Shayam

In order to carry out the necessary tasks in the system, you can use the same functions that are used for showing investment support on the liabilities side of the balance sheet (see Special Valuation). These system functions make it possible for you to manage the reduction in value in a separate depreciation area, in which it can be depreciated. Define this depreciation area with the following characteristics (under Valuation):
Post assets in general ledger realtime
Management of positive and negative book values
Is not a derived depreciation area
Area type: "investment support on liabilities side"
No takeover of APC values from another depreciation area
Mandatory takeover of depreciation terms from area 01
If depreciation area 01 uses a depreciation key that depreciates the net book value over the remaining useful life, the value reduction will also be depreciated over the remaining useful life of the asset. In that case, it is not necessary to change the remaining useful life manually.
Periodic posting of depreciation (under: Depreciation ® Post depreciation to the general ledger).
Indicator set for "depreciation area manages investment support" (under Special Valuation ® Investment support).
Transaction Types
You use separate transaction types for posting the value reduction. Define these transaction types in FI-AA Customizing (Special Valuation ® Investment Support ® Check transaction types for investment support measures). The key for these transaction types always begins with capital letter "I" (for example, I01). Please be aware that these transaction types post only to depreciation areas that are defined for managing value reductions.
You can create the value reduction as a "support measure" in FI-AA Customizing (Define investment support measures). If you do, the system automatically creates the necessary transaction type.

Is there a way of connecting the ipad to the smart board in the classroom, so that the smartboard is the control, and the ipad is displaying what is on the smartboard? This is to help a visually impaired child see what is on the smartboard.,

Is there a way of connecting the ipad to the smart board in the classroom, so that the smartboard is the control, and the ipad is displaying what is on the smartboard? This is to help a visually impaired child see what is on the smartboard.

Absolutely!
Install Splashtop2 on the PC and enable it to be controlled or ran from iPad or Reflection to simply allow iPad to serve as PC unwired monitor. With Splashtop and an Apple TV connected, you use the smartboard as usual, yet the PC and iPad can see the same content. The impaired child can even interact with the Smart Board via the iPad as if he were writing directly on the big screen. Erasing functions can be done by touching the Smart Board manual controls. Several variables are in play that cause this lack of functionality:
    Apple won't permit PC software that infringes its proprietary apps.
    Smart Board companies refuse to develop iPad apps because they feel threatened and are being replaced by iPads
    School districts think Apple TV is meant for copyright infringement and could expose them to safe harbor lawsuits
    Network administrators make it impossible to login Apple TVs because they don't want the streaming occurring
    Classrooms are not able to keep up with the technology of using the iPad
    Clicker companies refuse to play with iPad because they see it as a potential threat to their core business clients
    Apple is not working as hard as it could to exploit its capabilities in education, thus losing money in iPad sales
The bottom line is that we educators and technology developers are hurting our childern with petty conflicts.

What are some features and/or apps for the hearing impaired?

I am wondering, do you guys have an app and/or feature for a MacBook Pro, iPad 3rd generation, and iPhone 5 for the hearing ampaired?

Is browse here: http://www.apple.com/accessibility/

What about the hearing impaired?

Will iTunes ever have closed caption, why is this not available?

When you say 'no subtitles on almost any movies' do you mean purchased ones as opposed to rentals, as you say rentals have them?
When you rent/purchase iTunes store content it should indicate in the item's page whether or not it has closed captioning or not. Clearly not all content has CC.
If these are non itunes movies that you've obtained in some other way or made yourself, subtitles would have to be appropriately enabled in the encoding process or burned into the video itself - something Apple themselves have no control over.
This is however an important aspect for many people - hopefully a user who uses subtitles regularly will chime in.
Good luck.

I use Zoom Text as I am visually impaired and it is not compatable with Firefox 4. I need to go back to the earlier version of Firefox until this is handled by Zoom Text. How do I do that? Thanks, David

I asked Zoom Text about this and this is what they had to say.
"What is the specific version of ZoomText 9.1 you are using (In ZoomText click on Help -> About ZoomText -> Version)? Unfortunately the newer are supporting HTML5, Direct2D and other new hardware acceleration technologies designed to increase the speed and performance of web browsers. These new technologies bring new challenges for accessibility programs like ZoomText. More specifically, these technologies will have crippling adverse effects on ZoomText?s xFont, tracking and screen reading features.
Therefore, at this time we are advising ZoomText users not to install or upgrade to Internet Explorer 9, as doing so will result in a loss of ZoomText functionality within Internet Explorer, and possibly a decrease in personal productivity. We do want to assure you that we are working on overcoming these problems and will provide a solution as quickly as possible.
The other web browsers like Google Chrome, Safari, and Opera we do not have support for. The Firefox 4 with ZoomText you should have decent support for but not full support for it but you do have to have the updated version of ZoomText 9.19.1 and do the following as well http://www.aisquared.com/knowledge_base/more/zoomtext_with_firefox_4_loss_of_xfont/ for Firefox 4.
You are best to use IE 8 or 7 now or Firefox 3 or you can try 4. Thanks."
I am running the latest version of Zoom Text abnd the latest version of Firefox. I have done the "fix" suggested here but it had short lived relief if any. My preferred solution is to go back to running Firefox 3 until Zoom Text works around your new software updates.
Hint: You would make a whole lot of visually impaired folks on this planet real happy if you got together with the Zoom Text people and worked this out in a lickity-split fashion.
Thanks,
David

You might try using the add-on 'NoSquint' which allows numerous zoom options specific to each page you visit & keeps your settings - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nosquint/
If you want to go back to 3.6x, you will find it here:
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
In most cases you can simply "upgrade" (meaning downgrade) directly from the installation. It would be a good idea to save your passwords & bookmarks just to be on the safe side.

What's New and What's Fixed in 2014.1

First, here are links to the two main documents about new features in the 2014.1 release:

And in closing, a request: If this post prompts you to think "Great, but what about..." or "Thanks, but I just found this new bug in 2014.1," please start a new thread--after, of course searching to see if there's already a topic on that issue.
[And Shooter, I apologize in advance if the foregoing contains any typos ;-)]

Lots to be excited about. BUT...Just updated to 8.1 on one of my computers to test it out...
Sadly, the following issue is NOT fixed for me. Is it with new projects only? I haven't started a new project on 8.1 I've only opened an old project but the issue that I'm referring to which involves also a delay/freeze of anywhere from a few seconds to a MINUTE while the render bar goes from yellow to red and then back to yellow is still there. Boo.
On the list above...
Switching between sequences can turn the render bar red.
This issue is incredibly easy to replicate. I really do hope it gets fixed. Here are the steps:
1) Create two sequences with multiple short clips (the more clips the better)
2) Make sure GPU acceleration is enabled.
3) Add warp stabilizer to the clips in both sequences. Again, the more clips the longer the delay/freeze will be as the render bar goes from YELLOW to RED and then eventually back to YELLOW again.
4) Hit SAVE.
5) Now, toggle between sequences. You'll hit a short delay with a few clips stabilized and a LONG delay with lots stabilized. In my case this delay is around a full minute. The render bar will go from YELLOW to RED and then back to yellow...eventually.
6) Toggle back to the original sequence and the delay occurs again.
7) Once you've toggled between sequences and have gone through this delay, that's it, there is no longer a delay...UNTIL...(and here's the big kicker)...until the project is SAVED again. After that the issue returns when you toggle between sequences. Both saving manually and AUTOSAVING cause this issue. No way around it except not editing with GPU acceleration.
Not sure what the issue is...caching issue when saving maybe? Either way, it stinks and it's still there in 8.1. Big bummer.
Again, lots to be excited about with this release but I really was hopefully this specific issue was resolved.
Sigh.

What is happening when I change the size of the image in the program sequence window?

I noticed that I can change the image size of my exported file. I imported a 720 x 480 DV file into CS5.5. I went to my program sequence window and changed the settings to show the smallest image in that window. I then clicked on the image and used the handles that appear to make that small image large enough to nearly fill the screen. When I exported my final file and played the resulting WMV, the image on my screen was nearly twice as large as it would have been if I had not previously altered the image size in the program sequence window. I had to do this alteration for each clip in my timeline, or the unaltered ones would stay at the smaller size. The quality did not seem to be significantly impaired. I learned about this on a youtube video. The person who did the video claimed that this was a simple and quick way to upgrade standard video to HD. Of course this is not true. He was only changing the size of the resulting video. Does anyone know what is really happing when you do this procedure and why it changes the size of the exported video?

The size (resolution) of the exported video is not affected by anything you do while editing. It is dependant solely on the resolution set in the export settings.
Ideally you want to edit in an sequence that matches your media\, which will be the same size or larger than the required export. In other words, the same or smaller is OK. Making things bigger in post is not the best option. If you need things bigger, shoot them bigger.

As a vision-impaired user of a 1.25GH ( 1.25MB RAM) iMac G4 I am very reluctant to try to install Leopard on it (running Tiger at the moment). I want to have all my old non-Apple apps there. Robert Davis.

As a vision-impaired user of an iMac G4 (1.25GH and 1.25MB of RAM) I am very wary of putting Leopard on my system. I know if I do a clean install I'll have to put all my software back on which would take me ages as I have stuff in OS 9 as well running in Classic, but if I do an archive install I know the Apple software will go in but what happens to all my other apps? The preamble on the disk doesn't make this really clear. If it is too difficult then I guess it's time for a new Intel model but I like the G4 as I can get my face right up in the screen without having to move the computer, something you have to do to with the new models. Can anyone help - I don't want to be stuck for a month without a computer until my stepson comes back from holidays as he is head of IT at a school school that run all Macs. Please excuse any faux pas in this - I am new to the support community.
RobertfromBradbury.

You could use A&I, selecting Preserve Users and Network Settings. This should keep your third party apps but you will lose Classic and OS 9, which are not supported by Leopard. Before upgrading, I would also check to see which third party apps may not be Leopard compatible or will need updating.
If you still want to proceed, you should definitely have a cloned bootable backup of your current setup, in case you need to revert, or find something possibly missing after you upgrade. I wouldn't make a move without one. I use Carbon Copy Cloner. You could keep the old setup that includes Classic and OS 9 on a separate partition on an external drive and still be able to work from that when needed.
http://www.bombich.com/
You might find some apps that are not Leopard compatible.
You will also need enough free drive space to accomodate the new OS, as well as the Previous System Folder.
I don't see why you wouldn't be able to get your face right up to the screen of any of the new iMacs. And you can have a much bigger screen, 27". But you will be stuck running Lion, which will try to turn your computer into a giant iPad. A refurb might still be able to run Snow Leopard.

Hello,
Versions 3.1.1 and 3.1.2 are actually patched version of APEX 3.1. As such, they don’t introduce new features, but mainly fix bugs from the main release. If you want to learn specific details about these versions, you should read the readme file attached to the patch set files (on metalink).
It’s always best to work with the latest patched version, as it reduces your chances to encounter bugs. In general, so far the new APEX versions added many new features and technologies, while maintaining backward compatibility, so existing applications functionality is not impaired. Personally, I don’t see any reason not to upgrade and use the latest version, certainly when you are comparing 3.1 to 3.1.2.
Regards,
Arie.

What are the security settings to lock down a form with fillable fields and yet allow someone with Reader to fill in the fields as will as save the form and print it?

What are the security settings to lock down a form with fillable fields and yet allow someone with Reader to fill in the fields as will as save the form and print it?

You want to allow someone to open your document and fill out the form (in the fields you have created), but not change or edit the form, right? Here's the answer - assuming you are using Acrobat Pro and someone will be opening the PDF using at least Acrobat Reader 9 and up:
Tools > Protection > Encrypt < Encrypt with Password
Answer YES to change the security.
A new window opens:
     Do NOT select Document Open (or that will require a password to open the document.)
     Select: Permissions (Check the box next to "Restrict editing and printing of the document.")
     Change the following 2 settings from the drop-down box:
          Printing Allowed: Select High Resolution
          Changes Allowed: Select Commenting, filling in form fields, and signing signature fields
          Leave selected: "Enable text access for screen reader devices for the visually impaired"
          Change Permissions Password (insert a strong password)
          Leave all other settings alone in "Options"
          OK - OK
          Re-enter the Permissions Password (the one you entered above)
          OK - OK
          Save the PDF to apply the security [notice that (SECURED0 will appear after the document title]

With a digital video camera connected to your computer, you can quickly create vido postcards to share with family and friends.
• Share movies
Easily create a movie file for sending via email or posting to a website.

What kind of hit for carrying balances [update 7/3]

I've been keeping my utilization way low, with most accounts reporting zero, and the others reporting nominally, so that my utilization has been about a third of a percent. This week I decided to get some postponed dental work done, and to pay for it with some zero-interest-rate cards and not worry so much about the FICO scores. And I'm considering letting the balances ride for awhile, not paying them off totally, and letting my reported balances go up to the neighborhood of 5% overall utilization, with the zero interest cards just under 30%. How much of a hit can I expect on my FICO scores if I do in fact let my utilization go from a third of a percent to five percent? Even if you tell me I can expect a bad hit, I might do it anyway, just as an experiment...My scores are of only academic interest at this point since I should be gardening at this stage of the game. But I do wonder what lies ahead. Updates: 5/17 Started May 16th with: 10 accounts at zero balance, 3 accounts posting total balance of $241, representing less than .3% overall utilization Over the next 5 days, I allowed 3 of the 13 revolving accounts to post a total of $1524.33, for 1.7% overall utilization, with individual account utilization ranging from 2.13% to 49%. 5/22 EX dropped 2 points. 5/29 Balances up to $2700, representing 3% overall. No other score changes yet. 6/3 The entire $2700 has been reported to TU, and my TU score has not budged. 6/5 As of today I'm up to $3500, for 3.9% overall utilization. My only FICO change so far has been -2 on EX. But both my FAKO scores at Credit Karma just dropped 5 points, which makes me nervous. So I will probably let it peak at 3.9% and start bringing the numbers down now. 6/8 Boom! EQ FICO dropped 11 points! 6/11 No new change in scores. 6/17 will start reducing utilization 6/16 30 days from the start of my experiment: EX -2, EQ - 11, TU - No change 6/24 down to 2% overall utilization, no change 6/27 Today TU dropped 3. After my utilization dropped from 3.9% to 2%. Go figure. 7/3 OK now I'm back down to .3% overall utilization, right where I started on 5/16. No further change in scores....yet.

There should not be much change by having your utilization go to 5%, as far as how it affects your score. I would suggest, though, that you are in a phase with your cards where you do not want to pay before statement cuts on any cards. I'm guessing you got a number of cards recently, thus the gardening mode. As you try to build your relationship with those CCC, they SP you periodically to see how your file is working. If you don't show any activity on many of your cards, they may be a little concerned. If they see a steady flow of PIF activity on most or all your cards, they will see a potential profitable customer and are more likely to not overreact if you start using their card more. There is something to be said for acting boldly and showing you can handle debt and payments. As to the 0% APR on the dental work, that's a way to show you can take on debt and pay it back, with no cost to you. This is another behavior you want all your CCC to see, to make them more comfortable with your file. The "All cards at zero but one" is fine for absolutely tweaking the last point out of your score (and thats about all I think it gets the cardholder). As a long term way to build the confidence of your several CCC so they don't overreact? In my opinion, it is not helpful to hide your good payment activity by this pay before statement cuts method. Your long term relationship with the cards you do have, that is your main goal now, not getting a bunch more cards. As your file ages and these cards show activity, adding the one or two other cards you want later, will be a cake walk, regardless of FICO score. By the time you get to adding the one or two other cards, your scores will have risen nicely anyway, even if you show PIF balances paid by the statement due date, boldly broadcasting that activity for all to see. Good luck!Thank you for all that good stuff. I have some questions: "As you try to build your relationship with those CCC, they SP you periodically to see how your file is working. If you don't show any activity on many of your cards, they may be a little concerned". They would take a zero statement balance on an active account as a sign that there was no activity? " If they see a steady flow of PIF activity on most or all your cards, they will see a potential profitable customer and are more likely to not overreact if you start using their card more. " By "PIF activity" you mean "PIF after letting a statement balance show" activity? "As to the 0% APR on the dental work, that's a way to show you can take on debt and pay it back, with no cost to you." They would know that it was promotional interest rate borrowing? "The "All cards at zero but one" is fine for absolutely tweaking the last point out of your score (and thats about all I think it gets the cardholder). As a long term way to build the confidence of your several CCC so they don't overreact? In my opinion, it is not helpful to hide your good payment activity by this pay before statement cuts method." Well basically "tweaking the last point out of [my] score" is what my question is about. I know that making my present credit card banks happy isn't impaired by my using their cards a lot so long as I pay them off. My question only relates to what kind of temporary hit my FICO scores will experience in the process. "Your long term relationship with the cards you do have, that is your main goal now, not getting a bunch more cards." Well I don't know about that; some of my cards aren't as good as others,, and none are low interest. Some have exorbitant balance transfer and cash advance fees. I would like to have some other cards which charge lower interest rates.
