outline should be formatted a specific way (described below) and must contain the following parts as described.  To prepare for this assignment I recommend that you do the following:    Read these directions carefully.   

    PLEASE: be sure to cite internal to the outline.  Failure to properly cite references can be construed as academic dishonesty and can result in points lost to no credit on an assignment.  Multiple instances of academic dishonesty may result in disciplinary action.  PLEASE review the materials from Assignment 1 or ask me if you have any questions on how to cite.    The outline format:  your outline must be formatted as described and exemplified in the example attached.  Please note that this format will be assessed in your grade:Use an alphanumeric sequence Sections should be indented and aligned. Follow the suggested order of the required elements.Use brief but detailed and descriptive phrases.  This will allow you to more easily flush these points out into complete sentences when it comes time to write the paper.  The required elements: Your outline should contain the following elements in this order: I.  The Introduction: this section must containA.  The scientific name of your organism. Please see this link to help if needed: How to Write Latin Names of Species B.  The common name of your organism.  What do most people know it as?  Are there other names?C.  The area of residence in which you and your organism are (country/state/city).D.  The specific biome of where your organism lives.  Please see here for more details on biomes. II.  The Body: this section should containA.  Background: include a general physical description of your organism.B.  Life Cycle: describe the life cycle of your organism.  The life cycle refers to the series of changes that happens from the beginning of life as your organism develops and grows into a mature organism.  Please see here for some hints on the Life Cycle.  Note that some organisms (like plants) have a more complex life cycle than an animal does.  If you have any questions on this please ask!C.  Structure and Function: please select one organ system of your organism that you find to be particularly interesting and describe both the anatomy and physiology of that system.  a.  If your organism is an animal, here are a list of the general animal organ systemsb.  If your organism is a plant, here are a list of the general plant organ systemsc.  If you have selected a bacteria or a fungus the concept can be more complex.  Please contact me directly for more help if needed.D.  Evolution: Evolution is best understood as heritable change over time, or descent with modification.  Please be sure to discuss the evolution of your organism using the following guidance:a.  Conduct a review of scientific literature to understand what is known about the evolution of your chosen organism.  Search key words like evolution, fossil, ancestor.  Also, refer back to your results from Assignment 1.b.  Conduct a review of scientific literature to understand the family tree or phylogeny of your organism.  Phylogeny is defined as the history of organismal lineage as they change through time. Search key words like phylogeny, phylogenetic and genetic analysis.c.  Use the Tree of Life Project, which can be found here, to help you identify the lineage and related species.E.  Additional Interests: The diversity of biological organisms is vast and interesting! Identify at least one unique fact or behavior not covered in the life cycle, structure/function or evolution and discuss it.  For example, does your organism have an interesting parental care strategy or mating system? What about an adaptation or co-dependence with another species?III.  Conclusion section: this section should contain four to six bullet points that sum up the main points from the outline.IV.  Reference section: this is not just a separate section; rather referencing should occur throughout the outline as it will in your paper.  Please be sure to cite any language within the outline that should be cited.  Proper citation and referencing were reviewed in Assignment 1; please look back at those resources and/or ask me if you have any additional questions. Your paper should also have a final reference page listing no less than five sources used throughout the outline.  Please make note of the following tips and tricks!We understand that this is a rough draft and as you research and writing continue over the next few weeks details may be added or changed.  Although you do not have to resubmit it to me, I recommend that you update this outline to help you best complete Assignments 3 and 4. Write your outline so that it has detailed bullets that you can easily then flesh out into sentences for the body of your paper (Assignment 4).After your outline is complete, I recommend that you next draft your introductory and conclusion paragraphs.  This will ensure that all the main points of the outline are incorporated in these two framing paragraphs.

HS_GEN4_S1_03_10_Planning_GA_ (1).doc  and the the topic is  is British Romanticism. One of the main reasons why I have chosen this

topic is because I found it interesting because it talks more about different poets who existed in early

18th century. Additionally, the Romantic period was largely a reaction against the ideology of the

Enlightenment period that dominated much of European philosophy, politics, and art from the mid-17th

century until the close of the 18th century.Whereas Enlightenment thinkers value logic, reason, and

rationality, Romantics value emotion, passion, and individuality. Therefore, this topic is more interesting

and this one of the main reason why I have given it the first priority in my research work

Ethical Health Care Scenarios

/in /by

Review the following scenarios.

Scenario 1: Medical coding in a physician’s practice

Imagine you work in a high-pressure cardiology physician’s office and you are one of two medical coders. Your supervisor is very focused on the greatest reimbursement to satisfy revenue projections for the practice. As a result, you are asked to “up-code” billing. How can the pressure of acquiring the maximum repayment for services lead to manipulating or falsifying documentation?

Scenario 2: Administration of patient medications in the hospital setting

Imagine you are a new graduate nurse working nights on a busy medical unit. You just received a new patient who needs to be admitted to your unit and you just finished medicating a patient with a narcotic injection with a dose greater than ordered. Clearly understanding medication errors may lead to patient injury and even death, explain why a clinician may choose not to report the incident.

Scenario 3: Not hiring a qualified individual because of discrimination

Imagine you are a new human resources director in a nonprofit organization and have been pressured not to hire Middle Eastern candidates by the organization’s CEO. In the United States, discrimination against people based on their ethnicity, race, or cultural orientation is strictly forbidden under federal and state laws. Ethical discrimination may result in the breeding of ill feelings at work, as well as reduced productivity. To eliminate these ramifications, organizations need to put forth increased effort in curbing ethical discrimination in the employment sector. What are some interventions organizations can put in place to prevent discrimination?

Write a 150- to 350-word response for each ethical scenario. Include a title page with your name and your responses.

Format your assignment according to APA guidelines.

Please follow all instruction corectly

Using Visuals questions, communications homework help

/in /by

Question1:
Pick one of the types of information below and discuss which form of visual would you use? Explain your decision.
  • Record of annual sales for Kenyon Company for the past 20 years.
  • Comparison of Kenyon Company sales, by product, for this year and last year.
  • Monthly production of the automobile industry in units.

Question 2:

Using Visuals

 Discussing how visuals can enhance the communication process. Can they inhibit the message being conveyed? If so, how?

Need response:

1.I would like use pie chart which is a typical visual form for comparison to show the differences in sale of Kenyon Co. this year and last year. Pie chart is present the percentage of sale that company made. If I choose different chart as bar with specific number which I think it’s going to make a confusion for whoever look at the chart. Further more, it won’t be just one chart but it will have two chart representing for two years. That is hard to recognize. To avoid that problem, pie chart just shows  the percentage of sale for each product. With variety of colors and a few numbers are shown, it’s easy for people to understand and analyze the situation. 

2.

In showing a record of annual sales for the Kenyon Company over the past 20 years, I would a line chart to visually display the data. As our textbook states, line charts are useful for showing changes over a period of time (Rentz & Lentz, 2016). So, a line chart would easily and clearly show the annual sales of 1996-2016 with no confusion or clutter. The line chart would make it clear to see what year was the worst in sales and what year was the best in sales. A line chart would be so easy to read in this situation that it could easily answer any other questions pertaining to sales over that course of time. When it comes to changes of sales totals over a course of time, line charts are visually the best option
