and covered by operculum in chimaeras). Some have spiracles behind each eye (Skin surface
openings leading to respiratory system).
They have gills covered by an operculum that increases respiratory efficiency by creating negative
pressure that both draws and pushes water across the gills. They have a gas–filled pouch for gas
exchange in low–oxygen environments that contributes to buoyancy. A few species use diffusion
across their skin.
Move resources and wastes within body They have a single closed circulatory system consisting of a
two–chambered heart. Blood is pumped from the heart to the gills and then the rest of the body and
back to the heart.
They have a single closed circulatory system consisting of a heart with a sinus venosus, atrium, and

12. A Discussion On The Green Movement
This chapter starts with a discussion on the Green movement in Iran and then attempts to
problematize it empirically through a critical reasoning. In this research, a virtual public sphere in
Iran is discussed. Theoretically, the public sphere is the space in which citizens deliberate their
common issues and criticize the state without fear. Habermas' definition of the public sphere
reminds places such as salons, coffee shops and teahouses rather than Internet– based spheres. In
this regard, post–Habermasian thinkers assert that all social media and technology–based
apparatuses can be studied as a new realm of the public sphere. This approach goes beyond the basic
description in which Habermas (1982) refers to the 17th and 18th centuries ... Show more content on

Nowadays, social media provide a virtual public sphere in which people are able to talk and share
their comments and discuss different topics. The evidence demonstrates the virtual public sphere has
become a great arena of discussion for people in Iran, yet it should be declared that there is a long–
term discussion whether or not cyberspaces media could be a positive way of doing politics. For
instance, Kranzberg (1985, p. 50) believes, "Technology is neither good nor bad, nor is it neutral."
At any rate, despite many red lines and censorship that newspapers, news agencies and other official
media are faced; the new social media can publish the news, share the ideas and circulate different
topics. Having said that, this paper is aware of sophisticated filtering of social media in Iran, which
causes many limitations for citizens, however, people use VPN to circumvent this filtering and
distributing the news.
In this study, the basic definition of the public sphere by the German philosopher, Jürgen Habermas,
is expressed. Further, this text will discuss around some other scholars who either criticize or expand
his theory. The basic empirical research of this study showed that the Iranian virtual public sphere,
some topics are frequently discussed such as the organized corruption, the political prisoners, the

Whose responsibility is it to decide when, where, and under what conditions a person is to die? This
question inevitably brings up discussion of spirituality, beliefs, and legislation. Euthanasia is an idea
that has been around for decades yet as we progress in technology and medical competency the
discussion screams to be addressed formally by passing legislature. Euthanasia must be taken out of
the hands of lawmakers and put into the hands of the thousands fatally ill patients trapped in their
own bodies and/or minds. It is our responsibility as a society of profound thinking individuals to
discuss this difficult and troubling issue that has plagued the lives of families all over the entire
world. We must debate on an issue that ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
As of right now there are two countries that have legalized euthanasia, The Netherlands and
Belgium, along with Australia's Northern Territory. In the United States there is only one state that
has legalized PAS, which is Oregon. PAS is defined as "the prescription or supplying of drugs with
the explicit intention of enabling the patient to end his or her life by an overdose" (Willems et al.
2000). The debate has multiple angles of support and opposition. The leading support groups for
euthanasia center around the fact that it is their lives to control. As Dorothy Rasinski Gregory states,
Ask the average physician, attorney, or layperson what kind of death he or she would prefer and a
variety of responses might be heard: "in my sleep; . . . after I've had a chance to bring closure to a

To make conversations more personal, the moderator had to address some more sensitive subjects
that would in turn make people more shy to answer, but after a few individuals would give answers,
other would bring it back to them and answer the question fully. Also, when you addressed an
individual by name, it make the conversation more relatable and would result in improvement
participation rates and positively affect quality of data gathering.
What We Would Do Differently
If we could do this focus group again, we would try and include a larger collection of participants.
This improvement would allow us to hear more insights, and give our group a wider variety of
responses. A smaller–sized group may be more personal, but doesn't offer as much depth as a
slightly larger size.
Additionally, something that would help is finding ways to get people to participate more during the

18. A Discussion Of Regression Results
Discussion of Regression Results
In order to empirically examine the extent to which changes in the price of chicken causes changes
in broiler (chicken) consumption, time–series data was collected on 40 observations extending from
1960 to 1999 on nine explanatory variables in total. I regressed this data using an Ordinary–Least
Squares (OLS) approach. The main explanatory variable used for my analysis was the consumer
price index (CPI) for whole fresh chicken with the base years denoted as the 1982 to 1984 time
period. The econometric model for my regression analysis is listed below:
Broiler Consumption = a+β_(1 ) (CPI of broilers)+ β_2 (income)+ β_3 (population)+β_(4 ) (CPI for
beef)+β_(5 ) (PPI for corn)+ β_(6 ) (NPI for broiler feed)+β_7 (CPI)+β_8 (AP of Broilers)+β_9
(population)+β_(10 ) (exports of beef,veal and pork)+ ε
Data regarding my dependent variable was originally collected as pounds consumed per capita.
However, I multiplied the per capita broiler consumption data by 100,000 to obtain broiler
consumption in pounds per 100,000 people. In this way, I was able to obtain a larger coefficient on a
few of the explanatory variables, which allowed for a more suitable display and discussion of the
results in the paper. Further, the objective of this analysis was to explain to what extent price of
broilers, represented as the consumer price index on whole fresh chicken, impacts broiler
consumption in pounds. Specifically, the coefficients on the

20. Abortion Discussion Questions
The topic for this discussion board was initially intended to be about a specific interest group we
wanted to see go away, so perhaps we have gone beyond the purpose of the discussion board by
debating the morality of abortion itself. Despite this, I would like to continue the discussion because
I find it interesting.
I disagree with some of the inferences you seem to have drawn from my response. I did not imply
that all abortions are justified; in fact, I would personally advocate for stricter regulations on
abortion. Furthermore, I believe that your statement describing a fetus as merely "a burden" is an
understatement of the scenarios I was trying to describe. When a fetus threatens the life of the
mother, I would describe its presence as more than just a burden. However, this does not mean I
necessarily support abortion when a pregnancy results from personal irresponsibility. For that
reason, I would like to rephrase the last statement in my former response. Instead of saying that
abortion is less often an issue of personal responsibility, a more accurate representation of my
opinion is to say that abortion should less often be an issue of personal responsibility. I did not mean
to describe how things currently are; rather, I intended to explain how I feel things should be. I
apologize for any confusion that may have caused. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
What that specific point should be, however, is certainly a gray area among most who share a
similar view. The specific points in fetal development that you listed would indeed be an important
consideration in deciding when exactly that point

Discussion Question Willpower is something that everyone has, it is just that majority of people do
not know how to use it efficiently. It is explained from the beginning of the willpower instinct that
people often set goals then lose control of themselves. Having experienced failure in obtaining my
goals in the past, now that we are tackling willpower challenges I have been more productive toward
my goals. One of the reasons that we tell ourselves that we can't achieve our goals, is because of the
many changes that we must make in ourselves and it seems impossible. I can build on this because I
have told myself that this will never work but I have had more success now than I have before.

1984 Discussion Questions
1. The world within which Winston lives is replete with contradictions. For example a, major tenet
of the Party's philosophy is that War is Peace. Similarly, the Ministry of Love serves as, what we

Discuss other contradictions inherent in the Party's philosophy. What role does contradiction serve
within the framework of Doublethink? How does Doublethink satisfy the needs of The Party?

Orwell plants both subtle and overt warnings to the reader. What do you think are some of the larger
issues at hand here?

education against which he valiantly, but unsuccessfully fights. Discuss Winston's "capitulation" at
the hands of O'Brien. How is Winston brought to "love Big Brother?" In sacrificing Julia, how has
Winston, in essence, signaled his own end?
13. How would you describe the author's tone in 1984? Does it add to or detract from the character's
discourse?
14. Discuss the role of sex and intimacy in 1984. What specific function does the Party's directive
on sexual interaction serve?
15. In the final analysis, how accurate was Orwell in his vision of the future? In what ways does our
contemporary society compare to his idea of society in 1984? Are there examples in which he was
correct? What is most opposite? Do you see a potential for aspects of Orwell's "vision" to come
true?
16. During his final encounter with O'Brien, Winston argues that, if all else fails, the inherent nature
of the individual–the "spirit of man"–is strong enough to undermine a society such as that created by
The Party. Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Is Winston's belief applicable to the world
we live in today? Can you cite examples in our own recent history that support or dismiss Winston's
belief in the resiliency and righteousness of the human spirit?

"Hocus–Pocus Accounting" by Douglas R. Carmichael, Journal of Accountancy, October 1999; Vol.
188, Iss. 4; pg. 59, 5 pgs
Abstract:
SEC Chairman Arthur Levitt decried what he termed "accounting hocus–pocus" and called for
coordinated efforts to uncover it. He targeted the practice by some companies of improperly
boosting reported earnings by manipulating the recognition of revenue. Among the most common
methods of doing this are the bill–and–hold transaction and a long list of sham transaction involving
shipping, billing and/or related–party involvements. Both the SEC and the AICPA seek to increase
independent auditors ' awareness of problems associated with these practices. Full Text: | Copyright
American Institute of Certified ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The SEC has emphasized that the above is not a simple checklist. A transaction might meet all the
criteria and still fail the revenue–recognition guidelines. The following factors also must be
considered:
* The date the seller expects payment and whether the seller has modified its normal billing and
credit terms for the buyer.
* The seller 's past experiences with bill–and–hold transactions.
* Whether the buyer has the expected risk of loss in the goods ' market value.
* Whether the seller 's custodial risks are insurable and insured.
* Whether Accounting Principles Board Opinion no. 21, Interest on Receivables and Payables (on
discounting the related receivable), applies.
* Whether the business reasons for the transaction have introduced a contingency to the buyer 's
commitment.
A WELL–PREPARED AUDITOR
In planning the audit of all revenue transactions, the auditor must understand the client 's industry,
business and products as well as its procedures for accepting orders, shipping goods, billing and
recording sales and removing product from inventory. When a client engages in bill–– and–hold
transactions, he or she should determine whether the transactions comply with the SEC 's criteria.
Auditors need to consider many factors to assess the appropriateness of revenue recognition. For
example, in an SEC enforcement case, the seller was a toy maker with a highly seasonal

There are two types of seismic waves: body waves and surface waves. Body waves travel through
the body of the Earth while surface waves travel along the surface of the Earth.
2. What differences are there between P and S waves?
There are two types of body waves: P–waves and S–waves. P–waves are primary waves. They travel
the fastest and are longitudinal waves. A longitudinal wave is when the particle moves parallel to the
direction of the wave velocity. For example, sound waves are P–waves. P–waves can travel through

A Discussion on the Undiscussed Illness of Depression
How do you feel when you read the term 'depression'? Do your feelings differ when you read the
term 'influenza'? Perhaps your answer is yes, but why? Clinical depression is an illness just as the
influenza virus is an illness. Clinical depression can be defined as a chemical imbalance in the brain,
resulting in a pervasive and persistent low mood. In comparison, the influenza virus, more
commonly known as the flu, can be defined as a viral infection of the respiratory passages resulting
in coughing, the production of excess mucous, and a sore throat. The location and nature of each
illness may differ from one another, but a victim is simply a victim. Thus I question why twenty–

Although depression may not cause a dry cough, runny nose, or a sore throat like the influenza
virus, those experiencing clinical depression are no better off. Symptoms such as loss of appetite
leading to weight loss or overeating leading to weight gain, social withdrawal, loss of interest in
hobbies and activities of pleasure, as well as persistent feelings of sadness, anxiety, worthlessness,
guilt, or emptiness correlate with depression. These symptoms of clinical depression often lead to
thoughts of death and suicide. For this reason, the fatality rate, compared to that of influenza, is
much greater for clinical depression. To different extents, both clinical depression and influenza can
make it hard for their victims to face the day.
Treating and/or managing the influenza virus is far easier a task than treating and/or managing
clinical depression. An enormous collection of research has gone into fighting the influenza virus.
This research has resulted in vaccines that can protect one from contracting specific strains of the
virus, anti–viral medications to treat specific strains, as well as a wide array of pain killers,
decongestants, cough drops and anti–inflammatory's to ease one's symptoms. Far less research has
been conducted on the topic of clinical depression; thus, less effective treatment is offered. Similar

Module 4 Discussion Assignment
1. Why do U.S. corporations build manufacturing plants abroad when they could build them at
home? Explain with information/data of real companies.
U.S corporations build manufacturing plants abroad because international operations are becoming
highly important to the national economy. Companies decide to go global for the following reasons:
1 expand their markets, 2 obtain raw materials, 3 seek new technology, 4 lower production costs, 5
avoid trade barriers, and 6 to diversify.
A good example of a U.S company who builds manufacturing plants abroad is Nike. According, to
Market Realist Nike moved 900 million units through supply chain on 2015, its manufacturing
network is composed of: "700 factories in 42 countries." The reason why Nike manufactures abroad
is because it's part of its outsourcing strategy. To be able to explore new innovate ways to customize

important part. There was a smaller tube (cold finger) placed, it was filled with ice cold water to
ensure that the gas would sublime, and when it came in contact with the ice cold tube, white caffeine
crystals would form. To ensure that no water got into the tube where the crude substance was, we

46. Example Of Harkness Discussion
Harkness Thoughts? Overall, I felt that we could have done much better in our Harkness discussion.
One main problem I felt with this type of discussion is that there are so many people. In the socratic,
having small groups allows everyone to be able to contribute and be involved in the discussion.
Having 10–15 people and just one really broad question doesn't cut it. I feel like there could have
been either smaller groups or multiple questions within one group. Like 10 minutes with 1 question
and another ten minutes with the corresponding question.I saw that a lot of people felt frustration
because their points were being said by multiple other people, leaving them with nothing to
contribute.Therefore, a few people could be assigned one text

1. a) The class is in a productive zone when every individual is contributing to the discussion.
Prevalent silence is a sign that we aren't being productive, but the discussion must also be
meaningful rather than just filling the silence. For me personally, I need to make sure to pick the
times when my input is most insightful to speak up, as well as trying to reach out to the people who
are quiet. My level of heat started out too high and went down to a manageable amount where I
don't feel nearly as afraid to contribute. The class as a whole tends a little on the cold side, and that
seems mostly due to fear of heat. It's not that people don't want to contribute, it's that they're afraid
of saying something stupid or meaningless.

Jeff says he doesn't want to edit the paper, but he accepts anyways. Annie believes she can prove

Interpretations: Jeff just wants the editor position so he can have an office. Annie thinks the school's
Dean is racist. Annie doesn't actually think the school's Dean is racist, she only wants to have an
interesting story for the paper. The study group is conflicted about adding new people. The study
group looks to Jeff for guidance.

50. Discussion On An Instructional Method
Discussion as an Instructional Method I would use discussion as an instructional method because it
is a great interactive learning tool and facilitates listening, teamwork, confidence, critical thinking,
critical listening and critical reading. Moreover, classroom discussions can help students sharpen
their communication and speaking skills. Classroom discussion helps to dispel myths and
preconceived prejudices about others and students tend to develop mutual respect for one and
others. Above all, discussions foster better understanding as students share their "take" on the
subject, additional knowledge is shared. Hence, discussions require keen listening skills. I would say
from my personal experience, classroom discussions opened up my own understanding of many
subjects and helped me to navigate toward "right" thinking. The best way to express my love of this
teaching method is to tell the story of how much I hated it when I started Mercer University. My
second semester at Mercer, I had surgery and had to take two online classes. This was when I was
first introduced to the discussion method. As with most things new, it was frustrating. It grew more
challenging because the responses that I had to reply to did not make sense 80% of the time. Many
of the students did not write very well and we were required to respond. It was extremely difficult to
respond to something that did not make sense. So, I became a critical reader. I made sense out of

Description: To encourage everyone to participate in a class discussion, I will use a talking tool to

each person with a light underhand throw. Everyone will get at least one turn to talk and participate
in the discussion. First I will provide a model to the students by showing students how to lightly toss
the ball underhand and then how to catch the ball. Once I catch the ball I will model how to provide
to the discussion and then toss to another student. I will also model how to list and be an audience

Before students enter the hallway I will demonstrate by modeling how to line up at the door and
enter the hallway. I will then demonstrate how to walk in the hallway with my hands to myself and
with a voice level of 0. I will then have the students line up at the door next to their shoulder partner.
Once students have a voice level of 0 I will allow the students to go into the hallway. The students
will stop once they are in the hallways until everyone is together in one line. The students will then
follow the line leader with their shoulder partner down the hallway to their next location. By having
quiet and smooth transitions, will save time and cut down on behaviors which will benefit the
student's learning environment.
Theoretical Model /Area it best fits and why:
I would show the students how to walk in the hallways appropriatly by modeling. The students
would observe and then repeat what they have observed which relates to the Social Learning
Theory. The Social Learning Theory developed by Albert Bandura focuses on imitation and the
ability of one to watch, memorize and repeat a behavior. Students will imitate me after I model for
them and they will also be able to imitate their classmates. When walking to another location in teh

56. Questions For The Group Discussion
Two Questions for the group discussion:
"Inside a church, a pastor has flipped a verse of the bible to accommodate polygamy. Consulted by a
business millionaire, the pastor ransacked the bible and finally arrived at a verse to support the holy
matrimony. Quoting Isaiah 4:1 the pastor joined the notable influential member with three women".
Does the text Isaiah 4:1 justify the polygamous wedding?
During the discussion, which follows the presentation, the group was amazed at the shocking photo
of a man franked with three women in their weeding attires. The scenario in a sociological
dimension prompted the geographical background where the wedding could have happened. It is
assumed that most Christian communities view polygamy as an abominable act, which presumably
does not conform with most biblical canons. For some geographical areas, it is illegal and
punishable by law, particularly in western society; yet it is acceptable in some countries and
shockingly among faith communities.
The expression that the Pastor "flipped a verse of the Bible to accommodate polygamy", could be
inferred that the pastor was either desperate for the man's money or that he was afraid of losing his
membership in his church; and so, he was ready to do anything to keep his buoyant church member.
However, for charity sake, we do not know the bigger picture of what really happened or what might
have moved the pastor to succumb to the risky demand. Sociologically his society allows it

"Teaching by Discussion" As a Sunday school teacher at my previous church for four years, it was
important to give individuals a chance to give their input to the Scriptures as we studied them.
However, we are never too old to learn something new. After reading the article, "Teaching by
Discussion," by Kenneth O. Gangel Ph.D., I realized some areas I fell short with my students in
discussing questions. Getting students involved in discussion at times was like pulling teeth, no one
opens their mouths and I found myself doing all of the talking (discussing). With all honesty, there
are other Sunday school teachers who fall in this same question and answer category, which I have
experienced. Nonetheless, this article expressed our purpose as teachers is to get the students
involved in classroom discussions by asking the right questions. Discussion is not conducted for the
sake of therapy but rather for the sake of pinpointing answers to questions for solutions. Ordinarily,
teacher and students are engaged in a cooperative effort to seek for truth, knowing in advance that
truth also its application to life can be found in God's Word. Furthermore, I can relate to this article

US POSITION
The US and UNPA
The U.S continually supports UN programs and there are many national and international debates
about the subject. But the relationship between the U.S. government and UNFPA has followed a
path similar what is known as the "gag rule" (Guttmacher, (2015); Jones, (2011). The global gag rule
(also known as the Mexico City Policy) is a rule that prevents any organization (including UN
agencies) receiving U.S. international family planning funds from providing counseling or referrals
for abortion or advocating for access to abortion services in their country even with their own
money (PIA, (2015); Guttmacher, (2015); Jones, (2011). Though it has political connotations, I say
it is a national policy that keeps changing ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Someone might be against abortions on moral grounds but still support the legalization of it, because
criminalizing abortion will bring more hard to the mother (Brannigan & Boss (2011). The UN
believes that denying access to family planning will hurt women and create a poorer social outcome
for the families, women, and girls (PIA, 2005). It is better to provide women with the necessary
tools to prevent unwanted pregnancies and abort if necessary in a safe fear–free environment. Legal
barriers will lead to denial in access which will lead to unsafe abortions. The United States does not
support coercive abortion or forced sterilization. The U.S. has funded and defunded UNFPA from
time to time depending on how the administration of the day interprets the gag rule. Regardless of
the moral status of the fetus, my moderate view is that abortion might be morally wrong, but making
it illegal will create more harm to society, especially to women. My perspective is therefore a

The core responsibilities of operations managers tend to be similar across many industries. The
planning of various company operations and activities is another major concern of the operations
manager. Operations managers tend to determine which products are bought and sold, what prices
they are bought or sold for and to whom they will be marketed. The operations manager also helps
plan and coordinate activities between various departments such as determining what types of sales
promotions the company will engage in. (Chron.com) Operation managers add value to a company's
products or services by ensuring that business operations are efficient in terms of using as few
resources as needed, and effective in terms of meeting customer requirements. An operations

from the factory, Bangladesh Government and the factory building owner who leased or rented the

reasons such as:

I don't think boycotting garments made in Bangladesh will solve the problem. A boycott of garments
from Bangladesh would increase unemployment, considering the dependency of the country, and its
people in garment manufacturing industry. This could result in an increase in the poverty level of the
country. Bearing in mind all the stakeholders, it may be advisable to increase the safety, hygienic

There was also concern if current education can develop a nurse's preparedness in delivering quality
care (Griffiths et al, 2012). One of the participants stated "you might be the best clinician in the
world but if you can't communicate and you can't listen properly to people and you don't take on
board and understand what they're saying you may as well go dig the street" (Griffiths et al, 2012).
Furthermore another participant stated "...each individual should be [evaluated] and their needs be
assessed and implemented on that particular individual...I just feel it's a conveyor belt system. Get
them in and get them out sort of thing" (Griffiths et al, 2012). In another qualitative review which
explored nurse's perspectives on patient–centred care, suggested time management was the largest
barrier preventing them from communicating effectively with their patients (Chan et al, 2012). One
nurse stated "sometimes, I have to deal with 20 patients in one single shift... if one needs 10 minutes
and there are 20 patients in total, how much time would we have to spend on this? Don't we need to
