Abstract
When most individuals think of the digestive system, they think of those organs within the alimentary canal: the oral cavity, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine and large intestine. Organs that serve other purposes within the human body such as the gallbladder, liver and pancreas receive attention, but not in relation to their purpose as part of the accessory group of organs associated with the digestive tract. This paper presents a detailed discussion on these accessory organs limited to their purpose within the digestive tract.

From the Paper
"Imholtz (n.d.) tells us that accessory organs of the digestive tract are those that assist the digestive process but are organs of which no food passes through. Tamarkin (2006) comments that the major accessory organs such as the pancreas, gallbladder and liver have function other than those for digestion, but within the digestive system, they are considered exocrine glands that secrete fluids into ducts."

Abstract
The paper argues that using snakeskin for accessories encourages the killing of animals for reasons that are, basically, frivolous. The paper also contends that the current trade in snakeskin encourages conflict between different jurisdictions at the same time as it fuels an illegal underground economy in snake skins.

From the Paper
"Is using snakeskin for accessories a bad idea? Many people think so and I am one of them. Simply put, I oppose using snakeskin for accessories because it encourages the killing of animals for reasons that are, basically, frivolous; secondly the current trade in snakeskin encourages conflict between different jurisdictions at the same time as it fuels an illegal underground economy in snake skins. To begin with, there is no compelling reason why large snakes - be they Anacondas or Pythons - need to be killed; depleting the natural stock of an endangered species simply because of some superficial fad or fashion is..."

Abstract
This paper presents a comparison of three different websites for all-terrain vehicle (ATV) parts and accessories, specifically geared to the over-50 demographic, with an emphasis on heavy trail/utility vehicles. The paper presents the similarities and differences evident in the following sites: the "Dennis Kirk" site, the Montana Jacks site, and the RideGear site. The paper evaluates the user-friendliness of each site, as well as the specific design of the sites.

From the Paper
"Although it is tempting for any aspiring web-entrepreneur to jump right in to the design of their Web site, it is first essential to know something about what already exists "out there" in their chosen focus area. By doing this one can not only get a good feel for the level of competition one may encounter, but also observe how that that competition may be lacking-both in product line and/or services offered as well as in overall Web site design."

Abstract
This paper describes the inventory policies called FIFO, LIFO and weighted average and explains that JEAP Uniform and Accessories, a start-up retail company, has chosen to use a combination of FIFO and LIFO. Next, the author analyzes capitalization polices for this company and shows how these policies will help the organization in meeting its goals. The paper suggests alternative methods of valuation and indicates why these methods were not chosen.

From the Paper
"Under LIFO, the last cost in is the beginning inventory balance and is transferred to the cost of goods sold. When prices increase, ending inventory is lower resulting in higher cost of goods sold and lowers profits. When prices decrease, inventory is higher resulting in lower cost of goods sold and increase profits.
"The weighted average calculates the beginning inventory stock plus any purchases made in the year. After computing the average, the cost of goods sold and ending balance is calculated."

Abstract
This paper discusses how granny flats, a colloquial term often used for accessory second dwelling units, are best described as the converted use of space in a residential home into a small apartment. It examines how in California most often this means converting part or all of a garage into an apartment or flat and how the advantages of converting the extra space into living units is often in providing a source of income for the owners of the house. It evaluates how the State of California requires that local governments allow second dwelling units in single-family districts. It looks at how granny flats mostly meet the same housing construction and safety codes of more traditional housing. It shows how they offer low-cost alternatives to apartments for those on a fixed income such as the elderly or those with disabilities who are receiving assistance. In addition they are an alternative to warehousing older generation Americans who cannot afford to live independently.

From the Paper
"Ordinances vary widely from city to city in the state. Many municipalities have tried in the past to severely regulate the use of granny flats by their residents. California Court of Appeal struck down just such an attempt in Santa Monica, which had an ordinance on the books that restricted, who can live in second units in single family residential zones. The court found that the ordinance it violated both privacy and equal protection rights. The ordinance restricted occupancy to dependents and caretakers. It was approved by the City Council at the urging of residents, in spite of legal warnings from attorneys as well as City staff."

Abstract
This paper is an analysis of the Smart Growth Initiative and its affect on the population that is searching for affordable housing. The author details the initiative including its goals, target audience, environmental concerns and successes and failures. The paper also includes the discussion of economic, social and environmental costs of current development patterns and how smart growth provides alternatives to current development patterns, in addition to investigating what it means for affordable housing quality and supply. Land use and planning strategies are also discussed in detail. The author also presents and analyzes a case study of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU's) in Cary, North Carolina as a means for the reader to see an actual example of how smart growth can affect affordable housing.

From the Paper
"Current development patterns were driven mainly by public policy. The development patterns are characterized by a separation of uses, dependency on automobiles and the consumption of space in suburban and ex-urban areas. This pattern is supported by strict zoning regulations, transportation systems and a lack of coordination in planning. This is important, because these factors are also obstacles to making changes.
The booming economy of the 1990's has seen housing and rental costs increase at more than twice the rate of inflation. This has meant that many low-income owners are now unable to find affordable housing. Low-income earners are forced into substandard housing, forced to live in areas where affordable housing is available but at the expense of good security or good schooling, or forced to be homeless."

Abstract
The paper analyzes the Mont Blanc advertisement for its watches in GQ magazine and shows that it is quite obviously directed at young males who regularly read GQ to keep abreast of the latest fashion and lifestyle trends for men. It shows that this particular ad is designed to equally appeal to both the "ethos" and the "pathos" of the target audience but completely abstains from any kind of "logos." It shows, too, that the ad is clear and consistent in presenting the product as a fashionable accessory for a certain type of personality to wear.

From the Paper
"The ad in question does make a definite appeal to the "pathos" of the target audience by using the beautifully shot and presented product to visually appeal to and arouse the desires and emotions of the viewer. Without meaning to belabor the point, it must be remembered that the reader of GQ magazine is specifically seeking information on the latest styles and to that extent, the right visual appeal will succeed in creating the desired imagery in the minds of the GQ readers."
