As a freelancer, you are a small businessperson. As such, you have a product to sell, which is usually yourself. You, as a product, deserve and need to be perceived as a brand just as surely as a multinational corporation does. How can you create this perception? Let’s examine some of the elements of the branding process, as applied to a freelancer. The basis for successful branding for any business, of any size, is analysis. This may sound boring, or scary if you are, as is the case with all too many of us, numerically challenged. It may seem unnecessary and excessive. Don’t be misled by these often-reflexive reactions. Your investment in preliminary analysis will allow you to spend your time, energy, and money efficiently in branding yourself. Analyze yourself as a product: You need to know who you are and what you offer the marketplace. This is the same process that would be undertaken by a widget manufacturing business to establish a brand identity for their product. This is especially important when you work independently, because few people start out to be freelancers. You might have fallen into this role, perhaps as a bridge between organizationally-based jobs, or to try out a new career. You may missed out on the sort of self-inventory often involved in job-hunting. Freelancing certainly lacks detailed job descriptions. List the skills that are obviously applicable to the work you do or aim to do. Then list everything else you do well, and your areas of expertise and familiarity, even if they are not obviously related. Remember, as an independent worker, you are a one-man/woman band. You may find yourself needing to do things handled elsewhere if you were working with an organization. For example, if you were proofreading for a publisher, you might read, correct, hand your work in, and go home. As a freelance editor, in addition to proofing, your could very well find yourself shepherding a writer past an episode of writer’s block, or a failure of confidence, or some other existential nightmare. Describe what you do, or intend to do, in as much detail as you can. Explain what you do as if talking to an extra-galactic alien. Make sure that you do not assume any prior knowledge. To continue with the example of a freelance editor, if you know how to import bibliographies from external bibliographic tools, or to embed complicated figures into a document, explain it, using the name of the tool (for example, Moodle). If you can edit in multiple languages, mention that. Analyze the market around you: Just like a giant corporation, you need to carry out an environmental assessment. Using the description of your skills, and what you do with those skills that you have created, generate a list of keywords. Search online using these, to identify your direct competitors – not the whole world of people and organizations who do something roughly similar. Thus, to use the proofing example again, instead of just searching on ‘editor’ to find out who else is out there doing the same thing, search on ‘editor’ plus ‘graph creation’ or other extra special thing
Introduction and Project Overview In order to guarantee that a planned event will attract the public’s attention and generate profits or other types of gains, it is necessary to focus on its promotion. An effective event communication strategy should be used in order to draw the target audience’s attention to such a type of event as an auction to ensure its profitability (Kilkenny 2016). The Majlis Auction that was planned to be organized for more than 45 participants in the Majlis hall at Dubai World Trade Centre can be successful under certain conditions ( The Majlis 2018). The mission and details of this gathering need to attract the attention of potential sellers and buyers, and for this purpose, they should be effectively communicated to stakeholders. The Majlis Auction is a type of event that is not typical of the context of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and its specifics need to be successfully promoted to create a precedent. The focus is on giving a wide public in Dubai a unique chance to purchase used and new luxurious brand handbags, including Hermès Birkin and Kelly models, Chanel, Dior, and Louis Vuitton bags . The purpose of this report is to present a detailed communication strategy used for promoting and marketing the Majlis Auction as a unique event in Dubai. It should be stated that this auction is open for a wide public interested in purchasing authentic Hermès , Chanel, Dior, and Louis Vuitton bags. There are no similar events conducted in Dubai, and the significance of the proposed event promotion strategy is in providing a working and efficient plan for marketing this auction now and in the future. This report includes a discussion of the key activities used for event publicity and promotion in the context of conducting the Majlis Auction. The major objective of the project is the development of a detailed and effective communication strategy for the Majlis Auction as the selected event. All steps related to the project design and realization with the focus on analysis, planning, implementation, and evaluation will be described in the report with reference to the required justification. Project Scope and Objectives The Majlis Auction is oriented to attracting about 45 active participants as sellers and buyers of luxurious handbags. These persons represent the target audience of the event, and the selected communication strategy is developed to address their needs and expectations regarding the auction. This project is directed toward describing what tools and methods can be used by an event manager in order to raise the public’s awareness regarding the Majlis Auction. Furthermore, these tools are selected to make the target audience visit the event and actively participate in it. The project development started with anal
Introduction Palliative care is any form of treatment by medical care that is meant to reduce the seriousness of the symptoms causing a certain disease, in place of curing the disease. The main motivation for this system of care is to reduce the suffering and to improve the lives of people who are facing complex and serious illnesses. (Davis, 2001) The symptoms may include pain, constipation, loss of appetite, lack of sleep, and vomiting. Palliative care helps patients to understand and to choose how they can be cared for. The comfort of the patient is always given priority so as that of their families. Definition of palliative care Palliative care can also be defined as an approach that is employed to improve the quality of life for sick people and their families who have been affected by life-threatening diseases. This is done through relieving and prevention of suffering by identifying the symptoms early and also through critical assessment of those signs to treat the pain and other problems such as physical, spiritual, and psychological. Palliative care, therefore, is very important in that:   * It relieves the patients from pain and reduces stress inflicted by the various disease-causing symptoms.   * It ensures that life is very critical for every human being and everyone has a right to live a decent life. Death is also viewed as a normal process in which everyone has to undergo it.   * Doesn’t intend to increase the lifespan of the patient nor do they want to hasten it.   * Ensure that the patient’s morale is boosted by motivating them spiritually and also psychologically.   * It ensures that the patients remain active throughout their lifetime. They do this by providing the patients with a support system.   * The families of the affected patients are also provided with support systems to enable them to overcome the hardship during the patient’s life and also after the patient’s death.   * Provides assistance and support to the patients and also to their families whenever they are in need. This involves providing them with a counseling team when the hardships are difficult to overcome and also during the time of mourning.   * Constantly advise the patients on the positive and the quality of life to improve the angle in which the sick view about life.   * It provides care early in the patient’s life. This is achieved by incorporating with other therapies whose main motives are to prolong the life of patients e.g. chemotherapy. Investigations are done in the ways of reducing and managing the distressing symptoms. (Gormley,1999). Who defines palliative care for children using the following principles   * Palliative care for children is the absolute care that is provided to the child’s body, mind, spirit and also supporting the child’s family.   * It usually starts after the diagnosis of the illness and goes on despite the child being given the treatment for the disease or not.   * Providers of the care must first of all study child’s psychological physical and social conditions and try to assist the child come through all these.   * Successful implementation of palliative care requires support from the
Introduction PRINCE2 is an acronym standing for PRojects, IN Controlled Environments. It is a method that is used by project managers in managing projects. This method is commonly used by the UK government, although it is also used in other countries. It covers both the organization and management of a project. PRINCE2 can be defined as a method used by project managers to manage projects. It helps them to decide who should be concerned with certain projects and what is expected of them, that is, the project team and its responsibilities. PRINCE2 gives a set of processes that should be adopted in a project and explains the kind of information that should be incorporated in a given project. Nonetheless, it is important to understand that the method does not perform any task and will never give an assurance of a project success. It just gives a guideline of what should or should not be involved in a project and leaves the project managers to make their own decisions. A triumphant project, that is, one that delivers quality results within the set budget and on time depends on the eminence of people who are concerned in its execution. This includes project board and the project team which does most of the work. Today, projects engross different groups of people including but not limited to the clients, contractors, and the users. The most important objective behind the use of PRINCE2 is to make sure that there is a universal language amongst the concerned parties. Customers and suppliers are brought together by contracts, whereas the project team and the project board are brought together by the responsibilities expected of them by the customers and or the users of the project. By using PRINCE2 project managers have been able to manage projects more easily and this ensures that the products that are delivered from the project are of the right quality. This paper looks at the history of PRINCE2 as a project management method, its relationship with project management and programme management, some of the advantages of using this method to the project managers, and the disadvantages. It also looks at the processes, components and techniques of PRINCE2. Brief History of PRINCE2 PRINCE2 was derived from PROMPTII and PRINCE project management method that was discovered in 1989 by the government of UK. It was discovered in 1996 as a more efficient management method than PROMP TII and since then, it has become a popular method and it is increasingly being used for managing project in the UK (Haughey 1). It has now become a common method used by project managers, not only in the UK but in 50 other countries. The most recent version of PRINCE2 was released in 2009 by OGC, although the name did not change to PRINCE3 as it would have been expected, was an indication that the method is still faithful to its ideologies. However, it had been going through a series of revisions since 1996 in order to be com
William Butler Yeats is thought to be one of the most admired poets. “The Second Coming” is a masterpiece that leaves the reader wondering what is truly meant by the poem. The title suggests that the content is positive, relating to religion and saving of people. But at the same time, there is a sense of controversy because of the unordinary nature of the title and the way the words are related to each other. It seems to have sarcastic and dark nature, even though the words are not apparent in this regard. The first lines start from afar “Turning and turning in the widening gyre”, supposing no escape from what is to come, and the totally consuming force that cannot be stopped (Yeats, 1996). It is something grandeur and incomprehensible by humans, as they are too small to grasp the concept and emotion. The poem continues as a dream like state where the author seems to imagine or even see the future and the disasters to come. It is almost a display of the end of his world, as he knows it. Next lines talk about the “drowning of innocence”, and this represents the modernity where people are losing morality and ethics. The perversion is spreading at an ever increasing rate, and people do not even notice how detrimental it has become to the society. The line “The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity” means that people who are kind and helping cannot find the will to continue, as they see the devastation and suffer at heart (Yeats, 1996). This shows that there is only a small amount of people who are honorable and ethical. In contrast, those people who are evil, criminal and cruel are happy that the world is ending, conditions are worsening and good people are becoming extinct. This adds joy to their dark heart and so, they are shown to display feelings of “intensity” (Yeats, 1996). Yeats continues by saying that “The Second Coming” is getting nearer and makes a connection to religion. It is obvious that those who believe in the “Second Coming” of Jesus Christ will be happy and will expect things to get worse before getting better. But in reality, Yeats is talking about the coming of evil, saying that religion will not help. He makes a link to the desert and “The Sphinx” who stares at the world and, has no feeling in the eyes. The ending confirms that the dark times are coming, and a reference is made to the time passing, and the beast being unmoved by the evil that was and is going on. In such an atmosphere, a part of the psyche is traumatized, but the author is forced to resort to this sort of activity in order to predict and warn people (Smith, 1990). The major theme of the poem is that appearances are deceiving and those people who will not learn from the past and the pain will bring darkness. The predictions and facts are not straight forward and leave a lot to the imagination. From one point of view it is a good technique because it does not draw concrete lines for the reader but lets the individual imagine the scene and setting. It is also richer because everyone will create their own picture and this will lead to a more personal relationship towards the poem.
Introduction In the video titled “Ask Me Why I Care” Fred Silva, the Director of Public Policy in a non-profitable organization California Forward, explains the issues of public policy. Not only he describes the days of the past, when community and civic leaders were connected, but also advises young people on how to contribute to public policy development. Silva recommends students focus on an issue that they care about the most and work in that field for a few years. The main reason for such a request is that, unlike decades ago, the community leaders and the general public are separated; the transparency between these two institutions is lost. Nevertheless, to meet certain communal goals, the community should be flexible on all levels. One of the most relevant issues that concern local governments in all states is environmental protection. This paper will further elaborate on why such a problem should be taken into consideration how it affects the community and how it can be solved in local areas. Problem Definition and Analysis Aside from the national level, the concerns about environmental degradation are relevant on a scale of the regional level as well. Contaminated groundwater, beaches that are filled with trash, air pollution, and annihilation of natural habitat generate great distress for citizens, tourists, and local governments (Arnold & Long, 2019). The preservation of the natural environment is crucial not only for the well-being of the planet, though this reason is the primary one. Moreover, a healthy environment contributes to economic profit and growth. Drafting Policy Options Regarding describing policy options, one can name a few ways to improve strategies that are related to the issue. The first step is the realization that community development is impossible in the conditions of deteriorating nature. The second step is providing sustainable development in all communal industries. Policy Decision Implications Every social and economic institution can benefit from taking care of such an issue. By investing in governmental and private projects that ensure environmental sustainability, local businesses may improve their public image, thus attracting more consumers. A good natural habitat provides resources for farmers and food markets. That is why anyone may contribute to environmental policy and gain financial and social profit from it. Measuring Alternatives The options for improving policy are endless. For example, it is expected from local authorities to invest funds into hiring staff to respective d
It should be noted that the issue of territorial sovereignty has always been important for the Asian states. The relationships between Korea, Japan, China, and Ryukyu during early modern times were quite complex since each country wanted to consolidate its territorial borders. The purpose of this paper is to summarize and analyze the information provided in the articles by Robinson and Watanabe regarding this issue. The article by Robinson concentrates on maritime relations between the countries in the period from 1392 to 1592. In particular, it discusses the setting in which Korea engaged in seafaring commercial activity with China and dwells upon the maritime diplomacy between Japan and Ryukyu. According to the author, the maritime diplomacy of the state was rather controversial (Robinson 119). Although it was built on a Sinocentric approach, Korea did employ a strategy, which was far more complex. Korea was a tributary of China in its relations with the state while it became a patron of other areas and asserted its imperial possession. Therefore, the state tried to build its world order based on a Chinese construct. Also, Chosŏn was an independent territory, and it replicated the practices of the imperial court by monopolizing legitimate violence and using institutional technologies. At the same time, it opposed the land-related claims made by the Emperor of Ming China and imposed a mandatory levy on the residents while trying to restrict them territorially (Robinson 122). Moreover, Chosŏn had diplomatic maritime relationships with the Ryukyuan people, but they were built on the terms of Chosŏn. The article by Watanabe allows interpreting the East Asian maritime relations from a different perspective. The author vividly explained why Ryukyu had to conceal their relations with Satsuma. On the one hand, they wanted to protect themselves from Satsuma’s interference. On the other hand, this way, they were trying to create an area in which they would be able to act autonomously (Watanabe 106). Furthermore, the text reveals the way the Japanese world order confronted the Chinese one. The arguments provided allow assuming that the only way out in this setting was direct repatriation. It can be concluded that both articles reveal the different ways Asian states tried to claim their territorial sovereignty. Each country strived for observing diplomacy with the neighbors based on its ideational world order, which was nation-specific. The interpretations of this notion did not coincide for these countries, and each of them pursued its objectives, which inevitably led to a clash of ideologies.
