    • Perspective projection distortion is the inevitable misrepresentation of three-dimensional space when drawn or "projected" onto a two-dimensional surface.
    • The most common of these is perspective projection.
    • Perspective projection can be used to mirror how the eye sees by making use of one or more vanishing points.
    • In photography, the projection mechanism is light reflected from an object.
    • A certain amount of pincushion distortion is often found with visual optical instruments, (i.e. binoculars), where it serves to eliminate the globe effect.

  • Environmental Problems Associated with Fossil Fuel Use

    • Climate model projections were summarized in the 2007 Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
    • According to AR4, warming and related changes will vary from region to region around the globe.

  • Differences Between GAAP and IFRS and Implications of Potential Convergence

  • Human Population Growth

    • Each region of the globe has seen reductions in growth rate in recent decades, though growth rates remain above 2% in some countries of the Middle East and Sub-Saharan Africa, and also in South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Latin America.
    • According to the UN's 2010 revision to its population projections, world population will peak at 10.1 billion in 2100 compared to 7 billion in 2011.
    • United Nations projections in 2010 give "high" (red line), "medium" (orange) and "low" (green) scenarios for world population growth.
    • The highest estimate projects the world population may rise to 16 billion by 2100 or it may decline to 6 billion, according to the lowest estimate.

  • Strategic, Tactical, and Operational Control

    • This involves crafting vision statements (long-term projections for the future), mission statements (describing the organization's role in society), overall corporate objectives (both financial and strategic), strategic business unit objectives (both financial and strategic), and tactical objectives.
    • For example, a value-based commitment to environmentally responsible hospitality could be reflected strategically by working toward Green Globe certification and tactically by incorporating energy efficient appliances in the motel retrofit.
