Sense and Descriptive Essay

Your second portfolio will be a descriptive essay about your favorite location. You will not be focused on building characters or telling a story in this paper – Your paper will purely describe. Remember that your descriptions should use imagery and sensory details, meaning that it should appeal to the five senses. While reading your paper, I should be able to picture your location.Your favorite room of your house Your favorite location in nature An event you have attended that was particularly fun, such as: A school field trip A youth retreat A summer camp A tourist destination Think about the following questions to help you brainstorm ideas for your description:– What places in nature, such as the ocean or mountains, do you especially enjoy visiting? Think about places you have visited with friends or family.– What unusual plants or animals in nature would lend themselves to being described in an interesting way?– What is an object or place that you see often without really thinking much about it—for instance, your backyard? Try observing it more closely.Observe and Record Details (Prewriting)A descriptive essay is most effective if it is packed with details that vividly portray the object or place being described. Set aside some time to observe your subject closely and write down the details you notice using the Sensory Chart Prewriting Activity Sheet (attached). Record sensory details (sights, sounds, scents, flavors, and textures) that you can include in your descriptive essay.As you record sensory details, it helps to pretend that your reader has never seen the object or scene you are describing. Even if some details seem obvious, write them down! Remember that your reader can’t see what you’re seeing, so you want to record as much detail as possible in order to paint a mental picture of your object/scene for your readerWhen you record what you see, record things like colors, textures, lighting, and movemen ts. When you record what you feel, describe textures & temperatures (bumpy, smooth, rough, soft, fluffy, warm, cold). Use similes to make comparisons between what you feel when you touch the object or objects in your scene to familiar things Example – The tree’s bark is rough like coarse sandpaper. When you record what you hear, smell, and taste (if applicable), close your eyes! This helps you to hone in on these senses.It is best to observe your subject directly if possible. However, if you are not able to do so—for instance, if you are writing about a faraway vacation spot you visited last summer—you can still take time to brainstorm details. Use photographs, letters, or conversations to jog your memory. Then write down the sensory impressions you recall.Your paper should consist of the following:1. Introduction: Begin with a memorable image or idea that sets the tone for your essay. Try to convey an overall impression about the place you are describing . For instance, a beach scene could come across as tranquil and idyllic or stormy and foreboding, depending on the details chosen.2. At least 3 body paragraphs: The details presented in the body of your description should present a vivid  portrait of your scene. This is where you need to load up on that sensory detail from your observations. 1st body paragraph – Explain one reason why you like your location & use at least one sense to illustrate that reason. 2nd body paragraph- Explain a second reason why you like your location & use at least one sense to illustrate that reason. 3rd body paragraph- Explain a third reason why you like your location & use at least one sense to illustrate that reason.3. Conclusion Sum up why this place is important to you and end with a memorable final image.General Guidelines: 2 pages in length At least 5 paragraphs (intro, 3 body, conclusion) Double space 12 point, Times New Roman font Heading in upper left hand corner with your name, date, and name of assignment (Descriptive Portfolio) Title for your essay, centered.

Introduction Change management is â€Å"making changes to a certain method or system in an orderly, systematic fashion to make sense out of the organizational chaos that is permeating the company, its suppliers and vendors and most importantly its customers† (Ledez, 2008, p. 112). Ledez (2008, p. 112) elaborated that change will be internal----which means â€Å"that the change will take place within the confines of the company and not outside the ‘walls’ of the organization.† Yet, Ledez (2008, p. 112) pointed out that even if the change must take place internally, â€Å"the reason for the change may be completely externally oriented.† However, I add that the urgency and necessity of change may arise precisely because the internal characteristics of the organisation may have failed to adjust after several years of changes taking place in the external environment. This work focuses on the process of change in a corporate setting. The corporate setting is Mi9 with its official website at http://mi9.com.au. Through its website, Mi9 declared itself as â€Å"one of Australia’s leading digital media companies, with the potential reach up to 69% of the population each month.† The company’s official website reports that Mi9 is a joint business between Microsoft and Nine Entertainment Company. The company was established in 1997 as an expansion of the â€Å"ninemsn† business which covers a number of products and companies. Mi9 services cover â€Å"publishing, online services, data strategies, consumer insights and advertising technologies† (Mi9, 2021a). Clicking the â€Å"About us† of the ninemsn website at http://ninemsn.com.au/ will l ead the internet user to the Mi9 â€Å"About us† webpage at http://mi9.com.au/aboutus.aspx. On the other hand, based on the Mi9 website, Mi9 covers â€Å"80+ premium content environments like ninemsn, Nine News, Wide World of Sports, The FIX, The Australian Women’s Weekly, Grazia and Woman’s Day† and these are only a few on the list of Mi9 services. Mi9 is â€Å"also home to Australia’

Role of Healthcare Information System in Quality Service Provision Essay

Role of Healthcare Information System in Quality Service Provision - Essay Example Quality assurance makes reference to the act of putting in place in all necessary measures to ensure the end product of service successfully achieves its intended purpose. Basically, both the IT and healthcare sectors have set of measures in place to ensure quality standards are observed. Unlike the IT industry though, the presentation and behavior of staff directly represents the quality of service within a healthcare setting. On the contrary, quality assurance in IT is primarily pegged on products usability as well as service provision. Additionally, in healthcare settings, quality is a measure of service while in IT industry it is a measure of product efficiency (Joshi 460). Both however offer products/quality which directly impacts on health and any in appropriate measures could cost human life, or amount to medical malpractice. All players strive to ensure that they not only meet the minimum quality service thresholds or even surpass the same. Both healthcare and IT sectors have an ethical obligation to ensure that quality services/products are availed to patients and clients respectively. However, approach to quality assurance as well as assessable quality dimensions largely differ. While in the health sector quality is defined with regard of care standards and procedures including the technical standard of providers and patients expectation, IT industry defines quality with respect to ability of the product to make healthcare provision much easier and readily available. In essence it focuses on minimizing constraints to healthcare access. It is important to note that these definitions give a shallow but broad illustration of the variations in quality perception between the two sectors. What is however evident is the fact that both sectors view quality assurance as a standard ethical procedure which must be attained at all costs. In general, quality assurance may therefore be said as involving all arrangements and activities which safeguard, maintain and facilitate quality healthcare provisions. It involves measurement of quality, identifying deficiencies, undertaking improvements and evaluating whether such improvements are successful.

DESIGN SCENARIO - Case Study Example In this type of metropolitan Area Network, all networking equipment are virtually hosted and connected to the network using Ethernet. Thus using the Ethernet to interconnect such services makes it easier for network operations, administration, and management and provisioning. Comcast is using this advantage of Metro Ethernet to attract more customers in California and its environs. As a result, more subscribers are joining this service. The Comcast metro network service is cost effective. Metro Service has characteristics that favor its cheap service. Metro Ethernet service has broad usage in all networking products. The inexpensiveness of the Ethernet interface makes it cheaper in all networking services. Secondly, the cost of equipment, service and operational is cheap. This makes Ethernet services to be cheaper. Comcast allows its subscribers to add bandwidth more incrementally; as a result each customer purchases the bandwidth according his / her use. Comcast has sub - divided its services into three classes. These classes offer different services at different bandwidth. These are premium, basic and priority. These services are offered in 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 10000 Gbps to Ethernet users and these interfaces and are available in an increment of 1Mbps to 10Gps.

Comparative Financial Reporting Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 3000 words

Comparative Financial Reporting - Essay Example Material misstatements are misstatements that can affect users' decisions on the financial statements of a company. The auditor may either issue an unmodified opinion (when the financial statements are not materially misstated or a modified opinion (when the financial statements are materially misstated). (McMeeking, 2006). This paper examines contemporary issues between International Financial Reporting IFRS and the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles GAAP. The IASB / FASB project on revising the conceptual Framework has removed ' substance over form'. (IASB / FASB May 2008, Exposure Draft, Conceptual framework for Financial Reporting ) . The explanation is: BC2.19. The Boards concluded that faithful representation means that financial reporting information represent the substance of an economic phenomenon rather than solely its legal form. To represent legal form that differs from the economic substance of the underlying economic phenomenon could not result in a faithful representation. Accordingly, the proposed framework does not identify substance over form as a component of faithful representation because to do so would be redundant. However, the fair value view assumes that market are relatively perfect and complete and that in such a setting financial reports should satisfy both the interest of passive investors and creditors by stating a current value derived from the current market prices. An alternative view to this doctrine assumes that markets are imperfect and incomplete and that in such a market settings, monitoring requirements of shareholders should be catered for. To conclude therefore, in the words of Whittington (2007), the practical supports of two views is unrealistic as in a realistic market setting; the search for a universal measurement method may be fruitless. According to Whittington (2007), a more appropriate approach to the measurement problem might be to define a clear measurement objective and to select the measurement that best meet the objective. 1. 2.0 Identify and comment on what you regard as the 4 most significant accounting policy differences between IFRS's and US GAAP ' (200 words) International Accounting Standards (IAS/IFRS) are a set of accounting standards promulgated by the International Accounting Standards committee (IASC) and intended to be used as a basis for cross-border capital raising and listing in global financial markets. (Asbaugh, 2001). The main goal of the International set of Accounting Standards is to standardise the financial and accounting method disclosures of firms in different nations. That is, if firms follow the same set of accounting standards, their external financial reports will provide more uniform disclosures and thus investors would make more use of the variables inherent in the financial statements. (Asbaugh, 2001). Also, firms and investors would benefit from financial statements prepared following an international set of accounting standards. (Asbaugh, 2001). In meeting with the above objectives, the European Union issued regulation 1606/2002 of July 19, 2002 requiring that all companies listed in the European Union and European listed companies in other countries to adopt international accounting standards in their Financial statements from 1st January 2005 onwards. The regulation also gave member states the
