...Chapter 1 Ethical Reasoning: Implications for Accounting Discussion Questions 1. Select one of the world’s religions and give a concrete example of how the Golden Rule applies in that religion. "Every religion emphasizes human improvement, love, respect for others, sharing other people's suffering. On these lines every religion had more or less the same viewpoint and the same goal." The Dalai Lama Students may use the Internet as resource when researching the use of the Golden Rule in different religions. At websites such as www.religioustolerance.org/reciproc.htm and www.scarboromissions.ca, the comparisons of world religions are made. The students can compare the provided information with their personal views on the Golden Rule. From the Baha’I Faith, “Lay not on any soul a load that you would not wish to be laid upon you, and desire not for anyone the things you would not desire for yourself.” Baha’u’llah in Gleaning (from www.scarboromissions.ca/Golden_rule/sacred_texts.php, February 7, 2010). From www.religioustolerance.org/reciproc.htm (February 7, 2010), Black Elk of Native American Spiritually is quoted “All things are our relatives; what we do to everything, we do to ourselves. All is really One.” Plato also stated, “May I do to others as I would that they should do unto me.” Many students may remember being reasoned with by a parent or teacher on such lines of thinking. Students may remark that the appeal for many charities, particularly those who feed...

Also, the flowers at the bottom are organically shaped. The texture of the painting is an actual texture, very smooth as it looks. The tree trunk has gesture lines going down towards the end of the tree. There is a sense of repetition in the painting; the leaves on the tree are repeated in the same even way in each of the branches. The focal point of the painting is the tree. Last, The tree it is symmetrical, but the painting is really asymmetrical. I believe the artist is just trying to emphasize his love for the country side of Cuba...

...RC II-8 (4s and 5s) Providing your child with opportunities to "branch out" and make new friends can be a fun and rewarding way to grow important social skills. Materials: * Sky blue construction paper (your choice of size) * Green construction paper (enough to cut out one leaf per friend, plus enough for new friends to come) * Brown yarn * Liquid glue * Scissors * Felt tip marker for writing Directions: Provide a fun opportunity for your students to enjoy time together by "growing" individual Friend Trees. Begin by assisting each child in making a list of favorite friends, young and old. Use liquid glue to help each child trace a tree design onto a piece of blue paper. Before glue has time to dry, press brown yarn into the glue to outline or completely fill-in each tree trunk and branches. Allow glued yarn to dry. Use green paper to cut-out enough leaves for every name on each child's list, plus some extra leaves for future friends. Write one name on each leaf. Then glue leaves on the lower branches, working up and out. Keep supplies handy so each child can continue adding new friends until the Friend Trees are fully grown. Tip: Cut-out a heart design for tree leaves. Talk about It: Ask them to share characteristics that make a friend fun to play with. Then think about ways new friends can get to know each other better like playing games, cooking, and watching cartoons. Share ideas about how friends can show each other they...

...the land. Such ideas are conveyed through the use of language, juxtaposition and point of view. Many language techniques are utilised throughout this text in order to express ideas about the beauty of nature and how this beauty is being destroyed through the careless acts of man. The use of symbolism implies a much broader and deeper meaning to the words chosen by the author, for example when Mcgahan writes, “There were only these notches hewn in the tree trunks, slowly disappearing.” He intends for a much broader interpretation of the disappearance of footholds in the trees; he is commenting on the slow disappearance of the Aboriginal culture through the use of symbolism. Another way in which McGahan employs language techniques in order to explore ideas is through the use of personification; the author brings the environment to life through personification as a means to provoke sympathy from the reader. “Bizarrely shaped fungi, feeding off the rotting limbs of fallen trees.” This grim expression transforms a seemingly inanimate tree into something that is living and human like, he does so again when he writes, “the raw crimson of split and bleeding wood” wood does not bleed, this is a human-like...

...Fall - A Time Transition The fall season has many meanings for me. It is a time of transition that takes us from warm balmy days to the more harsh weather of winter. It's a time that takes us from the spectacle of nature in full bloom, to nature in hibernation. The signs of this transition are everywhere. The vivid colors of summer fade away, the color of the sky changes from deep blue to gray. The green fades from the grass and plants lose their blossoms. The leaves on the trees turn color, and lose their grip. Insects disappear. It's the tune of year that signifies the end of summer and vacations. No more picnics, swimming, baseball, tennis, and a myriad of other activities that most of us enjoy in the outdoors. It signals that during the next few months we will have to endure weather conditions that are not conducive to spending quality time outdoors enjoying nature. The knowledge of this seasonal period of transition awakens, in me, a more keen awareness of my surroundings than at any other time of year. The deeper appreciation comes from knowing that the good weather days are coming to an end. The fall season conjures up all sorts of analogies in my mind. For example, football and basketball games are divided into four quarters, a dollar is divided by four quarters, the calendar year is divided into four quarters, and the human life span might also be divided into four 20 year parts, assuming that we live an average of 80 years. In all these examples, the third period precedes...

...Tree Common ash (Fraxinus excelsior), a broad-leaved tree European larch (Larix decidua), a coniferous tree Lepidodendron, an extinct lycophyte tree In botany, a tree is a plant with an elongated stem, or trunk, supporting leaves or branches. In some usages, the definition of a tree may be narrower, including only woody plants, only plants that are usable as lumber, only plants above a specified height or only perennial species. At its broadest, trees include the taller palms, the tree ferns, bananas and bamboo. A tree typically has many secondary branches supported clear of the ground by the trunk. This trunk typically contains woody tissue for strength, and vascular tissue to carry materials from one part of the tree to another. For most trees it is surrounded by a layer of bark which serves as a protective barrier. Below the ground, the roots branch and spread out widely; they serve to anchor the tree and extract moisture and nutrients from the soil. Above ground, the branches divide into smaller branches and shoots. The shoots typically bear leaves, which capture light energy and convert it into chemical energy by photosynthesis, providing the food needed by the tree for its growth and development. Flowers and fruit may also be present, but some trees such as conifers instead have pollen cones and seed cones, and others such as tree ferns produce spores instead. Trees tend to be long-lived,[1] some reaching several thousand years old. The tallest known specimen on Earth...

...Looking back, I remember running through the long lush grass pretending we were at battle and trying to take cover. I would always find myself behind the old oak tree in our back yard. This was my favorite spot. The thick trunk, like a bodyguard, protected me from the imaginary bullets that flew towards my body. I would lean against the hard bark and for some reason it was comforting to have something sturdy to lean on. It was dark brown, and every now and then a spider would nestle between the pieces of bark. Sometimes I would touch the tree to peek around the corner and my fingers would be sticky. I could never quite figure out why that was, but, nevertheless, I had the hardest time getting it off, a constant reminder of my tree. When my little brother, miguel and I weren't at "battle," I would lay beneath my oak tree and daydream. As I looked up I could see millions of branches protecting me from everything above. At the end of each branch were hundreds of more leaves that would gently catch the morning dew, and carefully allowed it to make its way to the grass. It was like thousands of stars in the sky as the sun caught the drops and allowed them to sparkle so brightly. This was my heaven, and as I lay there, I could feel the plush grass, like a snuggly old blanket, holding my body gently against the ground. Sometimes the grasshoppers would appear from around a blade of grass as if they were asking for approval to jump on my blanket. Every so often a leaf would jump...

Known as the park namesake, the Joshua tree, Yucca brevifolia, is a member of the Agave family.

Like the California fan palm, Washingtonia filifera, the Joshua tree is a monocot, in the...

...I chose the Forest stream art piece for my paper. It is done by Harriet Dyer Adams in 1910. It is an oil on an 11x14 canvas. The contour of the lines in this painting really make it an exceptional piece to admire. The tree trunk and branches would be similar to any other tree had the artist not used great detail in her lines. The stream is flowing full in the beginning of the piece but as it goes in the distance it gets narrow. The artist also used great linear perspective with the way the trees are lined. They aren’t in a symmetrical line but staggered to give the realism of a real forest. The color used really depicts a full lush forest at its greenest. The light however seems that maybe the sun has sat or that the trees are so thick that little light shows through. Personally to me this is a personal place that the artist visited often and felt inspired enough to share it with everyone. To use the colors that she did seems to me that maybe she preferred it at a certain time of day. The green in the trees also says that she preferred this to the color of the fall leaves. The color of the stream was one of the concepts that pulled me in with this painting. The texture of the oil on the canvas also is a big part of this painting as it gives it almost a realistic feel that makes you want to touch it to see if it is real. The only thing that I could think about this painting that could potentially make it better for me is if it was on a bigger canvas. I absolutely adore this...

...14th GREEN TIP TO SAVE MOTHER EARTH Broken scientific apparatus like thermometer, barometers, manometers, sphygmomanometers, and float valves and other things that have mercury on should be disposed properly. Avoid throwing them in rivers for mercury is toxic and poisonous. Mercury * Mercury is a chemical element with symbol Hg and atomic number 80. It is commonly known as quicksilver and was formerly named hydrargyrum. * Mercury poisoning can result from exposure to water-soluble forms of mercury (such as mercuric chloride or methylmercury), inhalation of mercury vapor, or eating seafood contaminated with mercury. * Mercury is used in thermometers, barometers, manometers, sphygmomanometers, float valves, mercury switches, mercury relays fluorescent lamps and other devices, through concerns about the element's toxicity have led to mercury thermometers and sphygmomanometers being largely phased out in clinical environments in favour of alternatives such as alcohol- or galinstan-filled glass thermometers and thermistor- or infrared-based electronic instruments. Mercury can be found in four different forms: * Mercury metal, which is a silver-gray liquid, is harmful to humans when it is exposed into the air and consequently breathed into the lungs. * Methylmercury "may be taken into the body by eating certain saltwater and freshwater fish, especially larger fish at the top of the food chain, such as shark, swordfish, largemouth bass, and chain pickerel." ...

...ABSTRACT Trees are an important part of every community. Trees increase our quality of life by bringing natural elements and wildlife habitats into urban settings. Many neighborhoods are also the home of old trees that serve as historic landmarks. The tree observations goal is to help people maintain the health of their community and their state’s trees and forest. INTRODUCTION Trees have supported and sustained life throughout our existence. Different species display an endless variety of shapes and forms. In this experiment I had tested the ability to present information about factors affecting the health and measurements of trees. METHODS I used a Biltmore stick to measure the diameter (DBH) of the tree. I also had to find an area with at least twenty trees for measurements, recorded the information I obtain on a tree observation sheet. MATERIALS Biltmore stick, tree observation sheets, an area with twenty trees, pencil RESULTS The species of trees was from a neighborhood called Green Acres. Measurements taken at the site; shown that Maple/Boxelder trees in the site was identified as a more common species in the area and illustrated in good health with minor problems. For the other selected trees, no significant difference in circumference was found between all other trees because of the weather. DISCUSSION Overall the best time to measure trees is between June and September other observations can be made anytime during...

The powder chilled my hand, so I put my hand inside my pocket to warm it, the snow began to fall harder. I wandered around the car, and crunched the snow beneath my feet. I hear birds chirping, and stride to the bird feeder, where several small birds hopped around on the ground. The snow was peppered with tiny holes where seeds had fallen from the bird feeder. The birds flew away as I approached them. I continued walking and scooped up some snow from the ground, shaped it into a rough sphere, and threw it at a tree trunk. The snow scattered, falling from the tree and from all the bushes surrounding the tree. As I treaded past the birdbath, I realized the...
