...Case Study: Velocity Cellular Case Study: Velocity Cellular Revenue Recognition in a Multiple-Element Arrangement Velocity Cellular Services is planning the rollout of a new prepaid phone service called Power Starterpack. Using the current, relevant accounting guidance, determine and support the appropriate method for recognizing revenue for this new product. Power Starterpack Details Velocity Cellular sells the Power Starterpack for $200. The Power Starterpack consists of two elements: a new activation card and a prepaid voucher for $50 worth of airtime.

Activation cards can be purchased separately from Velocity. Identical activation cards can be purchased from other vendors. The $50 prepaid airtime voucher must be used within 360 days or the remaining value is forfeited.

Introduction Here is a collection of Oracle Forms 10g sample dialogs extracted from a complete Oracle Forms tutorial. This tutorial has been written in French and it would be too time consuming to translate it all in English. This is the reason why I have only extracted and translated these sample dialogs. The purpose of this article is not to teach how to build a new form from scratch. It intends to show some of the main advanced features of the product. To clearly understand in details how these dialogs work, you will have to open them in the Forms Builder and examine them thoroughly. However, in this article, I am going to explain the best I can the most important mechanisms of each sample. These sample have been tested with an Oracle Forms 10g release 10.1.2.0.2 on an Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0. 2.

...argument she plays a key role in the case of who should decide what the value of life is? Terri Schiavo’s case was front page news for advocates of both the pro-life and right-to-die organizations, and each side believed they had the winning argument to support their position. The case became so big that both Congress and President Bush weighed in on the issue. On February 25, 1990, at approximately 4:30 a.m. EST at the age of 26, Terri Schiavo collapsed in her home and suffered a heart attack which interrupted the flow of oxygen to her brain. Paramedics were called to the scene and administrated first aid until she arrived at Humana Northside Hospital. Physicians continued attempting to revive Terri until it was determined that she had been without oxygen for too long and was placed on a ventilator. This lack of oxygen caused a condition called hypoxic encephalopathy (a neurological injury caused by lack of oxygen to the brain). Many people wondered what caused a healthy 26 year old woman to have a heart attack and some thought that there was foul play involved, but her Husband Michael Schiavo claimed that his wife was battling bulimia and a chemical imbalance was the cause of the heart attack. Terri spent the next two and half months in a coma until she awoke to what is called a vegetative State (a state of wakefulness without detectable awareness. It is a diagnosis of some uncertainty in that it deals with a syndrome, not an etiology).[1] In this vegetative state she was...
