Description of the organization
Multiplex organization is one organization I would like to be employed in, especially in the future. Specific reasons contributeto my desire of working in such an organization. Multiplex organization deals with the recruitment of persons into different sectors of the market. The main aim is to link job seekers with employment opportunities, for the sake of improvement of basic standards of living and life in general. This is a unique venture, considering that the organization makes maximum profits and that at the same time, gives back to the community. Multiplex organization has branches in more than 20 countries, with more than 2000 employees in different branches. The concern and embracement of maximum corporate social responsibility is what has led to its formation and development.
To a large extent, the company benefits the community, through provision of job opportunities to the members and the surrounding environment as well. Multiplex organization values its employees, and also, gives credit to the recommended workers in different institutions. Recruitments and evaluations are however, first performed by the agency for quality verification purposes.
This shows how much good public image is desired by the organization (Jane, 2013).
Effectiveness in management and personnel interactions is highly emphasized on, for the purpose of profitability and competitive advantage. One major problem is experienced at multiplex, which should .

Exercise I: Developing a research instrument
QUANTITATIVE STUDIES
Now that you have gone through all the chapters that constitute Step I of the research process, this exercise provides you with an opportunity to apply that knowledge to formulate a research problem that is of interest to you. As you know, selecting a research problem is one of the most important aspects of social research, so this exercise will, therefore, help you in formulating your research problem by raising questions and issues that will guide you to examine critically various facets and implications of what you are proposing to study. The exercise is designed to provide a directional framework that guides you through the problem formulation path. Keep in mind that the questions and issues raised in this exercise are not prescriptive but indicative and directional; hence you need to be critical and innovative while working through them. Thinking through a research problem with care can prevent a tremendous wastage of human and financial resources.
A research problem should be clearly stated and be specific in nature. The feasibility of the study in terms of the availability of technical expertise, finances, and time, and in terms of its relevance, should be considered thoroughly at the problem-formulation stage. In studies that attempt to establish a causal relationship or an association, the accuracy of the measurement of independent (cause) and dependent (effect) variables is of crucial importance and, hence, should be given serious consideration. If you have already selected a problem, you need not go through this process.

Writing Assignment 3
In this assignment, you must select a topic, condition, or problem related to ‘water, sanitation, and hygiene’ or climate change that you consider to be a global health priority. This priority needs to be specific rather than a general concept such as ‘climate change.’
After describing the issue and justifying why it is a priority, design a health intervention to address the issue. The intervention must include at least two components: an educational component (e.g. dealing with beliefs and behavior); and an infrastructure or policy component (for example new construction, policy to limit emissions, etc.). For each component, state what you would do as well, why and how your intervention would have an effect, and how you would measure success (e.g. increasing handwashing rates).
You are encouraged to use visuals to help explain your intervention or to provide examples of your interventions. If you use images from the internet, please provide the website where you found the image.
Make sure that you address the ‘who, what, where, when, and why’ issues in both your justification as well as your proposed intervention. For example, do you focus on areas that lack access to adequate sanitation versus places where the quality of services may be an issue? Do you focus on areas that are at highest risk of climate change impacts, or areas that contribute the most to greenhouse gases? Do you focus on urban or rural areas? For the educational component, do you provide ads on tv, billboards, or in schools? Do you focus on adults, teenagers, or children? Do you propose policy at the global or national level?
You must include at least one unique source for each section of the proposal (justification, education/behavior, infrastructure/policy). You may use the same author or institution for each section (such as the World Health Organization), but the documents must be unique for each part. Please make sure that you identify the source of any information you use by using in-text citations (e.g. the WHO (2016) states…), and well as identifying any direct quotations with quotation marks (“”).
Topic:
Justification: (approximately 200 words)
Educational / Behavioral Component: (approximately 300-400 words)
Infrastructure / Policy Component: (approximately 300-400 words)

Assignment: Membership in Professional Organizations
At various points in your career as a nurse, you have most likely observed significant problems in your practice environment(s). Take a few minutes to think about the problems you have noticed.
Through the DNP degree, candidates develop the tools needed to address practice-related concerns through evidence-based solutions. In this week’s media presentation, Dr. Beechinor and Dr. Stefan discuss this process while sharing their own DNP projects and the needs these projects addressed. Candidates in the PhD program conduct research involving a problem related to practice or another area of professional interest and, as such, often work with DNP-prepared nurses.
To support your doctoral project and growth as a scholar-practitioner, you are required to join a professional nursing organization. Membership in a professional organization offers numerous benefits, including educational endeavors, advocacy opportunities, up-to-date information of interest to the profession, and much more. Some organizations offer scholarships, continuing education units, and a means for disseminating current research findings. In addition, joining a professional organization can help you to become involved in decision making at the organizational level and provide a venue for engaging in social change efforts that benefit your community.
This week’s Assignment serves as your Major Assessment for this course. You identify a DNP project or research topic and select an organization that will facilitate or be useful to you as you engage in your doctoral project (DNP Scholarly project or dissertation research). In addition, the professional nursing organization should be relevant for your current or anticipated professional practice. You then outline plans for participation in the organization and articulate how this could help you meet your professional goals and support your project development.

Original question:
Analyze how the effectiveness of global leadership development is evaluated in your organization or one you’ve worked for in the past. Provide recommendations based on our readings and your own research.
Post 1
For the week five discussion board, I focused on the National Institutes of Health (NIH), mainly because I found a really interesting, and concise, step-by-step guide for succession planning. This guide also included at table, or a 9-box approach, that indicated the criticality and vulnerability of positions. The NIH Human Resource Department has a very informative and thorough website, which I hoped would provide information on how it, as a group of institutions, measured the effectiveness of their leadership development programs. I’ve learned that they export, or sell, these leadership courses to medical practitioners globally, which may be one of the reasons they do not have as much information on assessing the value of leadership development programs as I would have hoped.
Much like Kristine, I thought I’d look into how we can describe and assess programs and then I can bring it back to the limited information I’ve found on the NIH. I liked how one of our readings this week in the context of measuring the effectiveness of a leadership development program as it relates to the costs and investment in a person or position. In the conclusions by Edwards & Turnbull (2013), their approach requires both a macro and micro view of interconnections and networks that exist and the extent in which they’ve been influenced. Additionally, in an article I found, the link between measuring the return on investment with leadership development was assessed. In many cases, there wasn’t enough tailoring of leadership programs to the business needs of an organization or company, which can make for less productive outcomes as well as difficulty in measuring the effectiveness (MeInert, 2018). In another example, a blog from the Harvard Business Learning, focus should be on the impact of a program, not the “proof†that a leadership development program was successful (Clark, 2018). In both of these complementary examples, the authors stressed the length of time needed to allow leadership to begin synthesizing materials and examples into their operational approach, a minimum of nine months was recommended as an adequate period of time (Meinert, 2018). Other, maybe more traditional Human Resources tools were also recommended, such as 360 degree reviews, measurement of output, time, and quality, as well as reporting on the perceived tangible and intangible benefits of the leadership training or development programs (Meinert, 2018). From our text this week, Mendenhall & Reiche (2018), the u.

Business Case Study Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
Your case study should be written in narrative format and address a problem or issue at your internship site. A problem is an obstacle to be overcome. An issue is an idea or activity about which there is debate. You must decide upon and/or develop a policy that will best address the problem or issue.
Examples of problems or issues include:
· How to most effectively increase sales
· How to better utilize interns in the organization
· How to best utilize social media for the organization
· How to increase commination in the organization
Your case study should contain the following information, in the order listed.
1. Strategic Perspective: Begin by identifying the problem or issue. Does something stand in the way of mutual interests in reaching a goal, or are there legitimate grounds for debate? Why did the problem or issue arise? Who is concerned? How critical is the situation?
2. Problem Solving and Decision Making: What quantitative data is available? What is the applicability of the data to the problem or issue at hand? How appropriate is the data in terms of precision or estimation? Is there an adequate accumulation of other evidence to support the idea that there is a legitimate issue or that a real problem exists? There must be definite instances, not just generalizations. What is the balance in terms of the evidence? Considerable support from both sides indicates that there is a real issue. How valid and objective is the evidence? Bias and prejudice must be avoided. What is the thoroughness of reasoning? How important or controversial is a particular point?
3. Innovative and Entrepreneurial Thinking: What are the possible solutions to the problems? What are the alternatives of action for resolving an issue? To evaluate action alternatives, consider such factors as feasibility, time involved, and the possible contribution in either solving the problem or resolving the issue.
4. Conclusions and/or Recommendations: Your conclusions and/or recommendations must show a relationship to the analysis. Include details of development. What is the policy? The policy is essentially the action decision.
Rubric
Format: The case study should follow these formatting guidelines: minimum of 4 pages, double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, 1-inch margins, and citations in APA format.
Instructor Feedback: Students can find their feedback in the Grade Center or Turnitin.

leadership resource
Ten steps to carrying out a SWOT analysis Chris Pearce offers a guide to help nursing leaders analyse their aotivities
A SWOT ANALYSIS is an effecrive way of identifying your strengths
and weaknesses, and of examining the opportunities and threats you
face. Carrying out an analysis using the SWOT framework will help
you and your team focus your activities on where you are strongest,
and where your greatest opportunities lie,
7 C0NSIDERTHE USES OF SWOT
This technique can be used in various situations includ-
ing business planning, team building and away days, as
well as when you review the work of your team, during change man-
agement processes and even in your personal career planning.
2 PREPARETHE GROUND
Draw a box on a flip chart or whiteboard, or even a
piece of paper, and divide it into four equal sections.
Each section should be labelled as follows: Strengths, Weaknesses,
Opportunities and Threats,
3 CONSIDER YOUR STRENGTHS
On your own, or with your group or team, decide what
your strengths are, what you do well and what other
people see as your strengths. Consider this from both your own point
of view and from the perspectives of the people with whom you work,
lie realistic, not modest. If you have difficulty with this, try listing your
characteristics. Some of these will probably be strengths.
4 CONSIDER YOUR WEAKNESSES
Ask yourself questions about, for example, what you
could improve about yourself, what you do badly or
what you should avoid. Consider these questions from different
points of view, as other people may perceive weaknesses in you that
you do not see. It is best to be realistic now, and to face unpleasant
truths about yourself as soon as possible.
5 CONSIDER YOUR OPPORTUNITIES
What opportunities are before you? Of what interest-
ing trends are you aware? Useful opportunities can arise
from changes in technology, government policy and social pattems,
or from within your organisation.
6 CONSIDERTHE THREATS
What obstacles confront you? Are the specifications of
your job, or the service you provide, changing? Is chang-
ing technology threatening your position?
7 USE INFORMATION: INTERNAL FACTORS
Strengths and weaknesses are intemal faaors. Once you
have gathered information on your strengths and weak-
nesses, and the opportunities and threats tbat you face, ask yourself
first how you can capitalise on your strengths and make greater use of
them in work situations. Strengths are the basis on whicb success can
be built, so include your strengths into your plans. But also analyse
your weaknesses and consider how you can remedy them. Draw up
an action plan based on this information,
8 USE INFORMATION; EXTERNAL FACTORS
Opportunities and threats are extemal factors. Opportun-
ities should be sought, recognised and grasped as they
arise, while threats must be acknowledged and steps must be taken
to deal with them.
9 USE SWOT IN CAREER PLANNING
You can construct your own SWOT analysis to help you
with your career .

Evidence-Based Project Implementation Issues
Before, during, and after implementation of your DNP Project, or any evidence-based project, it is critical to pay attention to various social, political, technological, and/or financial considerations. Using this framework, you can identify, analyze, and address issues that may affect the implementation of the project.
For this Discussion, you evaluate considerations that may promote or impede successful implementation of your DNP Project or another evidence-based project. As you do so, bear in mind that the specific factors are likely to differ from project to project and may vary given the timing and context in which a project is implemented. During this Discussion, you also evaluate variances between activities, standards and guidelines, and what is considered “best practice” in relation to the project.
To prepare:
Consider the issues you have noticed while implementing the intervention and/or gathering data for your DNP Project or another evidence-based project. Bring to mind Dr. Mauk’s comments on social, political, technological, and/or financial considerations in the Weeks 2 and 3 media program. Reflect on how these considerations have, or may, affect your implementation.
Think about any unexpected developments that arose (or may arise) during the implementation phase of your evidence-based project. What was the root cause of each development and its effect on your project?
Return to the literature and note any variances between your activities, relevant standards and guidelines, and what is considered “best practice.”
Evaluate your original plan for developing and implementing your DNP project (regardless of where you are in the process right now) or another evidence-based project. What, if anything, would you change in order to improve the process, quality of data, etc.?
By tomorrow Tuesday June 4, 2019 write a minimum of 550 words essay in APA format with at least three scholarly references. Include the level one header as numbered below:
Post
a cohesive response that addresses the following:
1) Describe one or more significant issues related to the implementation of and data gathering for an evidence-based project.
2) Assess the cause and meaning of each issue for your evidence-based project. If applicable, describe how the issue may have compromised your project.
3) What insights related to variances between project activities, relevant standards and guidelines, and what is considered “best practice” are most significant for this evidence-based project?
4) Summarize your evaluation of the planning for and implementation of the intervention, noting opportunities for improvement with future projects.

In order to successfully change the organization, we need to identify the key stakeholders and change agents. We have determined that Jane Ricter and Bob Cuellar are the major stakeholders that we need to be concerned with. The manager of the Engineering and R&D department and the actual engineers are the change agents we need to influence most. We must be effective in change management activities such as motivating change, creating a vision, developing political support, managing transition, and sustaining momentum. We need to focus on creating readiness for change by sensitizing the organization, identifying gaps between actual and desired states, and portray credible positive expectations. One o.

** Discussion Due Thursday and FInal Paper due Sunday ***
Communication Challenges
Select either Option A or Option B and indicate in your post which option you have selected.
Option A
: Compared to a non-healthcare organization, a manager must have a special skill set for communicating with health professionals and non professionals within a health care organization. What do you believe are those particular skill sets? What are the ethical, financial, and legal implications for communication within a health care organization? What are the some of the primary barriers to communication between a manager and his/her staff?
Option B
: Case Study: Your Word Against His
Review the details of the case “Your Word Against His” in your course text. Describe in detail any options you could pursue to set the matter straight for all parties who received the wrong information, while incurring the minimum possible public disfavor by the vice president. In addition, describe what you think went wrong this in case. Where was the communication breakdown, and how could it have been avoided?
Guided Response for Option A and Option B
: Review several of your classmates’ posts. Provide a substantive response to at least two of your peers. Discuss the reasons why effective communication is so important in organizations. What tools could managers use to foster better communication in both cases?
The Health Professional as Manager
Select either Option A or Option B and indicate in your post which option you have selected.
Option A
: Imagine your colleague and friend, Jane Smith, has recently been promoted to department manager for your facility. You have worked side-by-side with Jane for the past ten years and can speak to her excellent skills as a health professional. However, Jane has no prior management experience and many of your co-workers are fearful that she does not possess the necessary leadership skills to effectively lead the team. You feel conflicted because you agree with your colleagues but you also have faith that Jane will do her best. Considering Jane’s situation, describe the dual role of the health professional as manager. What challenges do managers face when they make the leap from health care professional to manager? What are some of the common complaints to indicate the presence of ill-fitting management?
Option B
: Given the effort and creativity that you have put into your Senior Projects for this course, use this discussion board as a forum to share your topic with your classmates. Provide a comprehensive description of the topic you chose, discuss your reason(s) for choosing the topic, and present some of the key information that you learned throughout the research process. For example, what did you learn about the role of management in influencing health care decisions? How do you think the future of healthcare will be impacted by your topic? Are there any current events and/or media stories that relate to your t.
COMMONALITY AND DIVERSITY OF OPERATING SYSTEMS .docx
COMMONALITY AND DIVERSITY OF OPERATING SYSTEMS 2
Maintaining a strong security system in the networking environment to prevent any form of attack and compromise information has been a formidable problem in recent times. There is fairly a small number of operating systems compared to the vast number of computer systems that are in operation. This situation has created a leeway for cyber attackers to target the systems easily (Palmer, 2010). Cyber attackers have formulated diverse techniques to exploit the homogeneity of the network environment. This article will explore the benefits related to diversity and commonality in the event of a malicious attack.
The purpose of any security strategy is to completely eliminate or at least limit the impact of damage to a successful attack on a particular system. At some point, any computer can be vulnerable to malware attacks, and the most important aspect in a case like this is to achieve an optimum level of preparedness. Diversity of the operating systems is beneficial in several ways, though an organization could incur an extra operational cost. Moving some groups of users to various different operating systems helps avert the overall damage caused by the SQL Slammer and MSBlast worms. Malicious-code attacks directed towards the commonly used operating system, windows, have been so rampant, thereby necessitating the need for improved security procedures of the computers (Anderson & Anderson, 2010).
Significant operational damages have been incurred before by businesses and enterprise to extensive downtime, brought about by malware attacks. Adopting diversity in operating systems comes along with several security benefits;
· Helps contain malicious-code attacks- Virus and worm attacks target and exploit the flaws in windows operating systems. In a case like this, availing an alternative operating system would be critical in helping to contain the spread to other PCs owned by the business. The impact of the attack is leveled down since some core business can be carried out in the event of an attack.
· Directing some pressure towards Microsoft- Health competition among service and commodity provider is beneficial for the consumers. Being diversified in terms of operating systems pushes dominant companies like Microsoft to try so hard to meet the security needs of their customers.
· It helps speed up innovations in the sense that other operating system developers will work towards improving their operating systems to match that of the windows. Such innovations include stable security systems that prevent malware from instilling too much damage to the computer system.
Exercising commonality in the usage of operating systems comes with its own benefits, too, especially when dealing with a malicious attack. The business would not incur too much cost, in the event of a .
Common Mistakes I see on this paper are1. Using summaries and .docx
Common Mistakes I see on this paper are
1. Using summaries and reviews written by other authors rather than using the actual IOM report and viewing each section, or viewing the IOM's summaries of it's report.
2. Forgetting to include information on how the IOM report will or has impacted one's practice. This is worth a high percentage of points
3. Not formatting the paper in APA, citing sources or using current sources like those supplied in our course resources for the week (since I am supplying a template APA should be flawless)
4. Going over the allowed length (papers that are over the criteria for length will be returned for revision)
5. Including background information, losing focus - remember the goal is to discuss the recommendations for education, practice, leadership and discuss how they can be achieved.
6. Ineffective introduction, too long, does not introduce the topic briefly, does not include a summary of what the paper will cover

The Cross-Category Effect
Mere Social Categorization Is Sufficient to Elicit an
Own-Group Bias in Face Recognition
Michael J. Bernstein, Steven G. Young, and Kurt Hugenberg
Miami University
ABSTRACT—Although the cross-race effect (CRE) is a well-
established phenomenon, both perceptual-expertise and
social-categorization models have been proposed to ex-
plain the effect. The two studies reported here investigated
the extent to which categorizing other people as in-group
versus out-group members is sufficient to elicit a pattern of
face recognition analogous to that of the CRE, even when
perceptual expertise with the stimuli is held constant. In
Study 1, targets were categorized as members of real-life
in-groups and out-groups (based on university affiliation),
whereas in Study 2, targets were categorized into experi-
mentally created .
Common symptoms of memory changes during the lifetime in healthy.docx
Common symptoms of memory changes during the lifetime in healthy people generally start gradually beginning with those associated with episodic memory i.e. forgetting names of people or details of personally experienced events. While semantic memory does not decline in the same way and can in fact be equal to those of younger people, aging adults typically access general knowledge and information more slowly (Dixon et al., 2006).This is a sign of declining working memory which encompasses processing speed, attentional capability/distractibility and problem solving (Dixon et al., 2006; Richmond et al., 2011). Another type of memory change may stem from a decline in sensory acuity. For example, loss of vision, hearing, taste and smell would all impact how stimuli are encoded and will contribute to additional attentional interference (Wolfe & Horowitz, 2004)
Compared with expected changes in memory functioning over the lifespan, pathological conditions such as anterograde amnesia and loss of semantic memory are much more debilitating. Since typically developing memory decline is gradual and centers around past experiences rather than general knowledge, people are often able to adapt to their “forgetfulness” with the assistance of formal and informal compensatory strategies such as more effortful attention, associative learning of new information, making to-do lists, keeping a journal and/or relying on another close individual to fill in missing pieces of stories and events (Dixon et al., 2006)
While typically aging adults may make a to-do list but have to spend time trying to find where they left it, in the case of anterograde amnesia, this sort of strategy would be ineffective. This is because these individuals would have no memory of even making a list since they have lost the ability to form new memories (Squire & Wixted, 2011). People with this condition are likely to become easily confused in social situations involving unfamiliar people since they will not retain any introductory information provided.
Loss of semantic memory would also be more negatively impactful than loss of episodic memory because an individual would lose the ability to make sense of objects in their everyday environment. For example, they make not be able to identify what a television or a toilet is or what each item is used for. As is the case with anterograde amnesia, compensatory strategies that are effective for typical aging memory decline could not be used for semantic memory loss since the individuals would not be able to engage in metamemory cognitions that would enable them to identify their areas of deficit and the most appropriate strategies to address these (Squire & Wixted, 2011). In addition, in both conditions, the individual would require a high level of external support to live safely.

(Note: These Surface-Level Issues will be the only grammar/mechanics issues that I will look for in this paper. I will add more in subsequent papers.)
· Have a title! Every written work has a title; yours should be no exception. (The title should be something interesting, and NOT Assignment 1 or Informative Essay!)
· Neither authors nor articles SAY anything (same thing with TALKS ABOUT) – it’s a text. “Anderson argues…” or “Jones believes…” or “Brown states…”
· Always write about the article (or any source you are use) in the present tense. It is a text, which means it always exists in the present. Even if the author is dead, the text is not. This means “Smith notes…” not “Smith noted…”
· The titles of articles belong in quotations marks. Italics are for books and movies.
· Make sure your writing is more formal than your speech – there should be no “I was so freaked out” or “I was totally bummed.” This is a formal essay, so even though it is personal, your writing should reflect formality. Don’t use slang.
· Do not use the word “you” (the second person) in a formal essay. People use it a lot to try to generalize. “You think the Internet is safe, but it’s not.” Instead, you can write, “Many people think the Internet is safe, but it’s not.”
· Avoid using too many rhetorical questions in your essay. A few are fine for effect, but be careful how and why you use them. It is generally not considered a good idea to begin paragraphs with a rhetorical question either.
· Notice how I changed it to, “MANY people think…” rather than, “EVERYONE thinks…” Be careful that you don’t assume too much about what people in general think.
· Introduce all quotes. They should not be their own sentences. (Also a reminder that the first time you introduce a source you need to give that source credibility so it is clear that the source has expert knowledge.)
Grammar/Mechanics Issues:
· Make sure all of the punctuation is correct. One thing to remember is that the quotation marks go right after the quote, not after the in-text citations parentheses.
· Make sure everything is spelled correctly. One thing to look for: there/their/they’re issues as well as to/too/two. Those are the most common, but there are others, of course.
· Subject/verb agreement. This is pretty-straightforward, and means looking for things like, “There is some more of those in the other room.” And, “My brother receive the prize for the best haircut.”
· Sentence fragments/run-on sentences. Make sure that all your sentences. Have a complete thought! Also, make sure they do not have too many thoughts in them because that means that it is a run-on sentence and that means that it can be too confusing for your readers if you include too much in one sentence, so you will want to be sure to break it up. (
Formatting/Documentation Issues
· Make sure the paper is written in 12 point Times New Roman font with 1 inch margins on all sides. .

Analyze how the effectiveness of global leadership development is evaluated in your organization or one you’ve worked for in the past. Provide recommendations based on our readings and your own research.
Post 1
For the week five discussion board, I focused on the National Institutes of Health (NIH), mainly because I found a really interesting, and concise, step-by-step guide for succession planning. This guide also included at table, or a 9-box approach, that indicated the criticality and vulnerability of positions. The NIH Human Resource Department has a very informative and thorough website, which I hoped would provide information on how it, as a group of institutions, measured the effectiveness of their leadership development programs. I’ve learned that they export, or sell, these leadership courses to medical practitioners globally, which may be one of the reasons they do not have as much information on assessing the value of leadership development programs as I would have hoped.
Much like Kristine, I thought I’d look into how we can describe and assess programs and then I can bring it back to the limited information I’ve found on the NIH. I liked how one of our readings this week in the context of measuring the effectiveness of a leadership development program as it relates to the costs and investment in a person or position. In the conclusions by Edwards & Turnbull (2013), their approach requires both a macro and micro view of interconnections and networks that exist and the extent in which they’ve been influenced. Additionally, in an article I found, the link between measuring the return on investment with leadership development was assessed. In many cases, there wasn’t enough tailoring of leadership programs to the business needs of an organization or company, which can make for less productive outcomes as well as difficulty in measuring the effectiveness (MeInert, 2018). In another example, a blog from the Harvard Business Learning, focus should be on the impact of a program, not the “proof†that a leadership development program was successful (Clark, 2018). In both of these complementary examples, the authors stressed the length of time needed to allow leadership to begin synthesizing materials and examples into their operational approach, a minimum of nine months was recommended as an adequate period of time (Meinert, 2018). Other, maybe more traditional Human Resources tools were also recommended, such as 360 degree reviews, measurement of output, time, and quality, as well as reporting on the perceived tangible and intangible benefits of the leadership training or development programs (Meinert, 2018). From our text this week, Mendenhall & Reiche (2018), the u.

Business Case Study Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
Your case study should be written in narrative format and address a problem or issue at your internship site. A problem is an obstacle to be overcome. An issue is an idea or activity about which there is debate. You must decide upon and/or develop a policy that will best address the problem or issue.
Examples of problems or issues include:
· How to most effectively increase sales
· How to better utilize interns in the organization
· How to best utilize social media for the organization
· How to increase commination in the organization
Your case study should contain the following information, in the order listed.
1. Strategic Perspective: Begin by identifying the problem or issue. Does something stand in the way of mutual interests in reaching a goal, or are there legitimate grounds for debate? Why did the problem or issue arise? Who is concerned? How critical is the situation?
2. Problem Solving and Decision Making: What quantitative data is available? What is the applicability of the data to the problem or issue at hand? How appropriate is the data in terms of precision or estimation? Is there an adequate accumulation of other evidence to support the idea that there is a legitimate issue or that a real problem exists? There must be definite instances, not just generalizations. What is the balance in terms of the evidence? Considerable support from both sides indicates that there is a real issue. How valid and objective is the evidence? Bias and prejudice must be avoided. What is the thoroughness of reasoning? How important or controversial is a particular point?
3. Innovative and Entrepreneurial Thinking: What are the possible solutions to the problems? What are the alternatives of action for resolving an issue? To evaluate action alternatives, consider such factors as feasibility, time involved, and the possible contribution in either solving the problem or resolving the issue.
4. Conclusions and/or Recommendations: Your conclusions and/or recommendations must show a relationship to the analysis. Include details of development. What is the policy? The policy is essentially the action decision.
Rubric
Format: The case study should follow these formatting guidelines: minimum of 4 pages, double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, 1-inch margins, and citations in APA format.
Instructor Feedback: Students can find their feedback in the Grade Center or Turnitin.

Ten steps to carrying out a SWOT analysis Chris Pearce offers a guide to help nursing leaders analyse their aotivities
A SWOT ANALYSIS is an effecrive way of identifying your strengths
and weaknesses, and of examining the opportunities and threats you
face. Carrying out an analysis using the SWOT framework will help
you and your team focus your activities on where you are strongest,
and where your greatest opportunities lie,
7 C0NSIDERTHE USES OF SWOT
This technique can be used in various situations includ-
ing business planning, team building and away days, as
well as when you review the work of your team, during change man-
agement processes and even in your personal career planning.
2 PREPARETHE GROUND
Draw a box on a flip chart or whiteboard, or even a
piece of paper, and divide it into four equal sections.
Each section should be labelled as follows: Strengths, Weaknesses,
Opportunities and Threats,
3 CONSIDER YOUR STRENGTHS
On your own, or with your group or team, decide what
your strengths are, what you do well and what other
people see as your strengths. Consider this from both your own point
of view and from the perspectives of the people with whom you work,
lie realistic, not modest. If you have difficulty with this, try listing your
characteristics. Some of these will probably be strengths.
4 CONSIDER YOUR WEAKNESSES
Ask yourself questions about, for example, what you
could improve about yourself, what you do badly or
what you should avoid. Consider these questions from different
points of view, as other people may perceive weaknesses in you that
you do not see. It is best to be realistic now, and to face unpleasant
truths about yourself as soon as possible.
5 CONSIDER YOUR OPPORTUNITIES
What opportunities are before you? Of what interest-
ing trends are you aware? Useful opportunities can arise
from changes in technology, government policy and social pattems,
or from within your organisation.
6 CONSIDERTHE THREATS
What obstacles confront you? Are the specifications of
your job, or the service you provide, changing? Is chang-
ing technology threatening your position?
7 USE INFORMATION: INTERNAL FACTORS
Strengths and weaknesses are intemal faaors. Once you
have gathered information on your strengths and weak-
nesses, and the opportunities and threats tbat you face, ask yourself
first how you can capitalise on your strengths and make greater use of
them in work situations. Strengths are the basis on whicb success can
be built, so include your strengths into your plans. But also analyse
your weaknesses and consider how you can remedy them. Draw up
an action plan based on this information,
8 USE INFORMATION; EXTERNAL FACTORS
Opportunities and threats are extemal factors. Opportun-
ities should be sought, recognised and grasped as they
arise, while threats must be acknowledged and steps must be taken
to deal with them.
9 USE SWOT IN CAREER PLANNING
You can construct your own SWOT analysis to help you
with your career .

· I recommend that you use the grading rubric to shape your work product (Attached).
· With respect to grading, The instructor really looks for 2 things: citations and substance. I encourage you to include cites and information from scholarly and/or peer-reviewed sources in addition to the course text (Cawsey, T. F., Deszca, G., & Ingols, C. (2020). Organizational change: An action-oriented toolkit (4th ed.). Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage Publishing. ISBN)
Otherwise, my potential for points is reduced. It indicates you have read the course materials and searched far and wide for theories, statistics, and facts to address the issue at hand. I encourage you to paraphrase these sources. Convert the content into your own words rather than using direct quotes. This improves the synthesis of information, and it makes the writing more closely resemble your own style.
In addition to scholarly citations, a substantive assignment is one that not only answers the question but advances the discussion. Please, do more than is expected.
· The writer must apply APA style guidelines.
· Support your submission with:
· Course material concepts, principles, and theories from the textbook and Use it in the references (Cawsey, T. F., Deszca, G., & Ingols, C. (2020). Organizational change: An action-oriented toolkit (4th ed.). Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage Publishing. ISBN)

Planning and Implementing Change
Select a time, in your organization, where an organizational change was made. Provide details about the change and why it was necessary. Then, detail why you believe your organization did or did not follow the steps associated with effective change.
If you believe that your organization did follow the steps, explain which steps were best followed and the benefits of following these steps. If you believe that your organization did not follow these steps, explain the implications associated with not following the steps and what occurred.

Evidence-Based Project Implementation Issues
Before, during, and after implementation of your DNP Project, or any evidence-based project, it is critical to pay attention to various social, political, technological, and/or financial considerations. Using this framework, you can identify, analyze, and address issues that may affect the implementation of the project.
For this Discussion, you evaluate considerations that may promote or impede successful implementation of your DNP Project or another evidence-based project. As you do so, bear in mind that the specific factors are likely to differ from project to project and may vary given the timing and context in which a project is implemented. During this Discussion, you also evaluate variances between activities, standards and guidelines, and what is considered “best practice” in relation to the project.
To prepare:
Consider the issues you have noticed while implementing the intervention and/or gathering data for your DNP Project or another evidence-based project. Bring to mind Dr. Mauk’s comments on social, political, technological, and/or financial considerations in the Weeks 2 and 3 media program. Reflect on how these considerations have, or may, affect your implementation.
Think about any unexpected developments that arose (or may arise) during the implementation phase of your evidence-based project. What was the root cause of each development and its effect on your project?
Return to the literature and note any variances between your activities, relevant standards and guidelines, and what is considered “best practice.”
Evaluate your original plan for developing and implementing your DNP project (regardless of where you are in the process right now) or another evidence-based project. What, if anything, would you change in order to improve the process, quality of data, etc.?
By tomorrow Tuesday June 4, 2019 write a minimum of 550 words essay in APA format with at least three scholarly references. Include the level one header as numbered below:
Post
a cohesive response that addresses the following:
1) Describe one or more significant issues related to the implementation of and data gathering for an evidence-based project.
2) Assess the cause and meaning of each issue for your evidence-based project. If applicable, describe how the issue may have compromised your project.
3) What insights related to variances between project activities, relevant standards and guidelines, and what is considered “best practice” are most significant for this evidence-based project?
4) Summarize your evaluation of the planning for and implementation of the intervention, noting opportunities for improvement with future projects.

Communication Challenges
Select either Option A or Option B and indicate in your post which option you have selected.
Option A
: Compared to a non-healthcare organization, a manager must have a special skill set for communicating with health professionals and non professionals within a health care organization. What do you believe are those particular skill sets? What are the ethical, financial, and legal implications for communication within a health care organization? What are the some of the primary barriers to communication between a manager and his/her staff?
Option B
: Case Study: Your Word Against His
Review the details of the case “Your Word Against His” in your course text. Describe in detail any options you could pursue to set the matter straight for all parties who received the wrong information, while incurring the minimum possible public disfavor by the vice president. In addition, describe what you think went wrong this in case. Where was the communication breakdown, and how could it have been avoided?
Guided Response for Option A and Option B
: Review several of your classmates’ posts. Provide a substantive response to at least two of your peers. Discuss the reasons why effective communication is so important in organizations. What tools could managers use to foster better communication in both cases?
The Health Professional as Manager
Select either Option A or Option B and indicate in your post which option you have selected.
Option A
: Imagine your colleague and friend, Jane Smith, has recently been promoted to department manager for your facility. You have worked side-by-side with Jane for the past ten years and can speak to her excellent skills as a health professional. However, Jane has no prior management experience and many of your co-workers are fearful that she does not possess the necessary leadership skills to effectively lead the team. You feel conflicted because you agree with your colleagues but you also have faith that Jane will do her best. Considering Jane’s situation, describe the dual role of the health professional as manager. What challenges do managers face when they make the leap from health care professional to manager? What are some of the common complaints to indicate the presence of ill-fitting management?
Option B
: Given the effort and creativity that you have put into your Senior Projects for this course, use this discussion board as a forum to share your topic with your classmates. Provide a comprehensive description of the topic you chose, discuss your reason(s) for choosing the topic, and present some of the key information that you learned throughout the research process. For example, what did you learn about the role of management in influencing health care decisions? How do you think the future of healthcare will be impacted by your topic? Are there any current events and/or media stories that relate to your t.

COMMONALITY AND DIVERSITY OF OPERATING SYSTEMS .docx
COMMONALITY AND DIVERSITY OF OPERATING SYSTEMS 2
Maintaining a strong security system in the networking environment to prevent any form of attack and compromise information has been a formidable problem in recent times. There is fairly a small number of operating systems compared to the vast number of computer systems that are in operation. This situation has created a leeway for cyber attackers to target the systems easily (Palmer, 2010). Cyber attackers have formulated diverse techniques to exploit the homogeneity of the network environment. This article will explore the benefits related to diversity and commonality in the event of a malicious attack.
The purpose of any security strategy is to completely eliminate or at least limit the impact of damage to a successful attack on a particular system. At some point, any computer can be vulnerable to malware attacks, and the most important aspect in a case like this is to achieve an optimum level of preparedness. Diversity of the operating systems is beneficial in several ways, though an organization could incur an extra operational cost. Moving some groups of users to various different operating systems helps avert the overall damage caused by the SQL Slammer and MSBlast worms. Malicious-code attacks directed towards the commonly used operating system, windows, have been so rampant, thereby necessitating the need for improved security procedures of the computers (Anderson & Anderson, 2010).
Significant operational damages have been incurred before by businesses and enterprise to extensive downtime, brought about by malware attacks. Adopting diversity in operating systems comes along with several security benefits;
· Helps contain malicious-code attacks- Virus and worm attacks target and exploit the flaws in windows operating systems. In a case like this, availing an alternative operating system would be critical in helping to contain the spread to other PCs owned by the business. The impact of the attack is leveled down since some core business can be carried out in the event of an attack.
· Directing some pressure towards Microsoft- Health competition among service and commodity provider is beneficial for the consumers. Being diversified in terms of operating systems pushes dominant companies like Microsoft to try so hard to meet the security needs of their customers.
· It helps speed up innovations in the sense that other operating system developers will work towards improving their operating systems to match that of the windows. Such innovations include stable security systems that prevent malware from instilling too much damage to the computer system.
Exercising commonality in the usage of operating systems comes with its own benefits, too, especially when dealing with a malicious attack. The business would not incur too much cost, in the event of a .
Common Mistakes I see on this paper are1. Using summaries and .docx
Common Mistakes I see on this paper are
1. Using summaries and reviews written by other authors rather than using the actual IOM report and viewing each section, or viewing the IOM's summaries of it's report.
2. Forgetting to include information on how the IOM report will or has impacted one's practice. This is worth a high percentage of points
3. Not formatting the paper in APA, citing sources or using current sources like those supplied in our course resources for the week (since I am supplying a template APA should be flawless)
4. Going over the allowed length (papers that are over the criteria for length will be returned for revision)
5. Including background information, losing focus - remember the goal is to discuss the recommendations for education, practice, leadership and discuss how they can be achieved.
6. Ineffective introduction, too long, does not introduce the topic briefly, does not include a summary of what the paper will cover

How to Reference and Cite the IOM Report
IOM will each have the same author (the Institute of Medicine is the author) and year you will differentiate them by adding a small case letter after the year of publication in both your reference and citation. The reference would be listed in alphabetical order using the title. I have posted examples below.

The Cross-Category Effect
Mere Social Categorization Is Sufficient to Elicit an
Own-Group Bias in Face Recognition
Michael J. Bernstein, Steven G. Young, and Kurt Hugenberg
Miami University
ABSTRACT—Although the cross-race effect (CRE) is a well-
established phenomenon, both perceptual-expertise and
social-categorization models have been proposed to ex-
plain the effect. The two studies reported here investigated
the extent to which categorizing other people as in-group
versus out-group members is sufficient to elicit a pattern of
face recognition analogous to that of the CRE, even when
perceptual expertise with the stimuli is held constant. In
Study 1, targets were categorized as members of real-life
in-groups and out-groups (based on university affiliation),
whereas in Study 2, targets were categorized into experi-
mentally created .
Common symptoms of memory changes during the lifetime in healthy.docx
Common symptoms of memory changes during the lifetime in healthy people generally start gradually beginning with those associated with episodic memory i.e. forgetting names of people or details of personally experienced events. While semantic memory does not decline in the same way and can in fact be equal to those of younger people, aging adults typically access general knowledge and information more slowly (Dixon et al., 2006).This is a sign of declining working memory which encompasses processing speed, attentional capability/distractibility and problem solving (Dixon et al., 2006; Richmond et al., 2011). Another type of memory change may stem from a decline in sensory acuity. For example, loss of vision, hearing, taste and smell would all impact how stimuli are encoded and will contribute to additional attentional interference (Wolfe & Horowitz, 2004)
Compared with expected changes in memory functioning over the lifespan, pathological conditions such as anterograde amnesia and loss of semantic memory are much more debilitating. Since typically developing memory decline is gradual and centers around past experiences rather than general knowledge, people are often able to adapt to their “forgetfulness” with the assistance of formal and informal compensatory strategies such as more effortful attention, associative learning of new information, making to-do lists, keeping a journal and/or relying on another close individual to fill in missing pieces of stories and events (Dixon et al., 2006)
While typically aging adults may make a to-do list but have to spend time trying to find where they left it, in the case of anterograde amnesia, this sort of strategy would be ineffective. This is because these individuals would have no memory of even making a list since they have lost the ability to form new memories (Squire & Wixted, 2011). People with this condition are likely to become easily confused in social situations involving unfamiliar people since they will not retain any introductory information provided.
Loss of semantic memory would also be more negatively impactful than loss of episodic memory because an individual would lose the ability to make sense of objects in their everyday environment. For example, they make not be able to identify what a television or a toilet is or what each item is used for. As is the case with anterograde amnesia, compensatory strategies that are effective for typical aging memory decline could not be used for semantic memory loss since the individuals would not be able to engage in metamemory cognitions that would enable them to identify their areas of deficit and the most appropriate strategies to address these (Squire & Wixted, 2011). In addition, in both conditions, the individual would require a high level of external support to live safely.

Common Surface-Level Issues for the Informative Essay(Note Thes.docx
Common Surface-Level Issues for the Informative Essay
(Note: These Surface-Level Issues will be the only grammar/mechanics issues that I will look for in this paper. I will add more in subsequent papers.)
· Have a title! Every written work has a title; yours should be no exception. (The title should be something interesting, and NOT Assignment 1 or Informative Essay!)
· Neither authors nor articles SAY anything (same thing with TALKS ABOUT) – it’s a text. “Anderson argues…” or “Jones believes…” or “Brown states…”
· Always write about the article (or any source you are use) in the present tense. It is a text, which means it always exists in the present. Even if the author is dead, the text is not. This means “Smith notes…” not “Smith noted…”
· The titles of articles belong in quotations marks. Italics are for books and movies.
· Make sure your writing is more formal than your speech – there should be no “I was so freaked out” or “I was totally bummed.” This is a formal essay, so even though it is personal, your writing should reflect formality. Don’t use slang.
· Do not use the word “you” (the second person) in a formal essay. People use it a lot to try to generalize. “You think the Internet is safe, but it’s not.” Instead, you can write, “Many people think the Internet is safe, but it’s not.”
· Avoid using too many rhetorical questions in your essay. A few are fine for effect, but be careful how and why you use them. It is generally not considered a good idea to begin paragraphs with a rhetorical question either.
· Notice how I changed it to, “MANY people think…” rather than, “EVERYONE thinks…” Be careful that you don’t assume too much about what people in general think.
· Introduce all quotes. They should not be their own sentences. (Also a reminder that the first time you introduce a source you need to give that source credibility so it is clear that the source has expert knowledge.)
Grammar/Mechanics Issues:
· Make sure all of the punctuation is correct. One thing to remember is that the quotation marks go right after the quote, not after the in-text citations parentheses.
· Make sure everything is spelled correctly. One thing to look for: there/their/they’re issues as well as to/too/two. Those are the most common, but there are others, of course.
· Subject/verb agreement. This is pretty-straightforward, and means looking for things like, “There is some more of those in the other room.” And, “My brother receive the prize for the best haircut.”
· Sentence fragments/run-on sentences. Make sure that all your sentences. Have a complete thought! Also, make sure they do not have too many thoughts in them because that means that it is a run-on sentence and that means that it can be too confusing for your readers if you include too much in one sentence, so you will want to be sure to break it up. (
Formatting/Documentation Issues
· Make sure the paper is written in 12 point Times New Roman font with 1 inch margins on all sides. .

Common sports-relatedshoulder injuriesShoulder pain is.docx
Common sports-related
shoulder injuries
S
houlder pain is commonly treated in general practice; its causes are often
multi-factorial. The focus of this article is on sports-related shoulder injuries
likely to be seen in the community. This article aims to overview the presen-
tation, assessment and management of these conditions in general practice.
The GP curriculum and common sports-related shoulder injuries
Clinical module 3.20: Care of people with musculoskeletal problems lists the learning objectives required
for a GP to manage common sports-related shoulder injuries in the community or refer for specialist management. In
particular, GPs are expected to be able to:
. Communicate health information effectively to promote better outcomes
. Explore the perceptions, ideas or beliefs the patient has about the condition and whether these may be acting as
barriers to recovery
. Use simple techniques and consistent advice to promote activity in the presence of pain and stiffness
. Agree treatment goals and facilitate supported self-management, particularly around pain, function and physical
activity
. Assess the importance and meaning of the following presenting features:
. pain: nature, location, severity, history of trauma
. variation of symptoms over time
. loss of function – weakness, restricted movement, deformity and disability, ability to perform usual work or
occupation
. Understand that reducing pain and disability rather than achieving a complete cure could be the goal of
treatment
. Understand indications and limitations of plain radiography, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance scans
. Diagnose common, regional soft-tissue problems that can be managed in primary care
. Understand the challenge that many musculoskeletal conditions might be better and more confidently managed
by other healthcare personnel rather than GPs, because most GPs do not gain the necessary treatment skills
during their training
. Refer those conditions which may benefit from early referral to an orthopaedic surgeon
The four most common categories of shoulder pain
seen in primary care are (Mitchell, Adebajo, Hay, &
Carr, 2005):
. Rotator cuff disorders (85% tendinopathy)
. Glenohumeral disorders
. Acromioclavicular joint disease, and
. Referred neck pain.
There are many different types of sports that can cause
acute or chronic shoulder injuries. In professional English
Rugby Union, for example, the most common match
injury is of the acromioclavicular joint (32% overall) and
the most severe injury requiring the longest time off
(mean of 81 days) is shoulder dislocation (Headey,
Brooks, & Kemp, 2007).
Shoulder injuries can also occur in non-contact sports,
such as golf, tennis, swimming and weightlifting.
Although shoulder injuries may be more common in con-
tact sports, the injury may have a larger impact on the
performance of individuals playing non-contact sports.
For example, golfers require very precise manoeuvres
of their dominant.

Common Law Strict Liability Introduction Strict liabilit.docx
Common Law Strict Liability
Introduction: Strict liability, or liability without fault, is a category of unintentional torts
in which the wrongdoer may be held liable for harm to others even when exercising
utmost care and being as careful as possible. Strict liability applies to (1) abnormally
dangerous activities. Abnormally dangerous activities are those that involve a high risk
of serious harm to persons or property that cannot be completely eliminated even with
reasonable care, such as using and storing explosives, stunt flying, keeping wild
animals, and trespassing livestock.
Product Liability**
Introduction: Product liability, sometimes called strict product liability refers to cases in
which a person is injured by a product, or use of a product because the product is
defective in some way. When a product is defective it may become abnormally
dangerous although the product, when not defective, may be safe.
Please also see Instructor Notes link in week 2 for further details and explanation of
product liability.
**Strict product liability is often confused with the separate common law tort of strict
liability, sometimes referred to as “liability without fault”. Strict liability applies only to a
small category of abnormally dangerous activities, such as use of explosives, fireworks,
and stunt flying. Please see section above.
Warranties and Product Liability
Introduction: A warranty is a promise, or guarantee, by a seller or lessor that certain
facts are true of the goods being sold or leased. Types of warranties include (1)
warranties of title guaranteeing that the goods have clear and valid title, (2) express
warranties promising specific facts about the goods, and (3) implied warranties of
merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose. A warranty creates a legal duty for
the seller or lessor; a non-breaching party can recover damages for breach of
warranty(ies). Because warranties are associated with the sale or lease of products,
breach of warranty claims are a part of product liability claims and manufacturers and
sellers of goods can be held liable for breach of warranty for defective products.
Warranties are subject to regulation under the UCC, product liability tort law, contract
law, and the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.
Product Liability**
Product liability, sometimes called strict product liability refers to cases in which a
person is injured by a product, or use of a product because the product is
defective in some way. When a product is defective it may become abnormally
dangerous although the product, when not defective, may be safe.
Definitions of a Defective Product in Product Liability
Products may become defective because of:
1) defective manufacture (so the product is "broken", not perfectly made, i.e., a product
is manufactured so that the electric wiring is improperly made/attached, etc. and may
cause a fire or cause elect.

Introduction Comment by Author: this needs to be centered and not in bold; it needs to be the title of your paper Comment by Author:
Common core is a standardized education tool that is being used in almost 43 states of America. It is like an outline that has various benchmarks which need to be completed at the end of each grade so that students can successfully learn. It is like having a check and balance on what the students should learn. The primary aim is to prepare learners of America for college and make sure that they are acquiring various skills. Although some people believe that Common Core has been a great model and useful for education, it is an unnecessary program to have in schools and needs to be eliminated for several reasons. Comment by Author: plural needed
However, this practice is disadvantageous for students as well as teachers because no other material knows better than the teachers about the needs, wants, and goals of the students. Teachers can easily teach their students after analyzing their needs and previous knowledge. Moreover, this tool is unconstitutional as it has been created by the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices and the Council of Chief State Officers with help from the Bill and Melissa Gates Foundation not the Department of Education.

Common core unconstitutional Comment by Author: needs to be centered; titles should not be complete sentences—think of newspaper titles…they’re fragments
The step to create a tool of education has not been taken by the Department of Education. Instead, it has been established by the National Governors Association and Council of Chief State School Officers with no input from the Department of Education. It means that they have taken the responsibility of making crucial decisions regarding policies of education and the standardized testing system from the authorities of states (Robins, 2013).

& sample Performance tasks related to core standards
Selecting Text Exemplars
The following text samples primarily serve to exemplify the level of complexity and quality that the Standards require
all students in a given grade band to engage with. Additionally, they are suggestive of the breadth of texts that stu-
dents should encounter in the text types required by the Standards. The choices should serve as useful guideposts in
helping educators select texts of similar complexity, quality, and range for their own classrooms. They expressly do
not represent a partial or complete reading list.
The process of text selection was guided by the following criteria:
• Complexity. Appendix A describes in detail a three-part model of measuring text complexity based on quali-
tative and quantitative indices of inherent text difficulty balanced with educators’ professional judgment in
matching readers and texts in light of particular tasks. In selecting texts to serve as exemplars, the work group
began by soliciting contributions from teachers, educational leaders, and researchers who have experience
working with students in the grades for which the texts have been selected. These contributors were asked to
recommend texts that they or their colleagues have used successfully with students in a given grade band. The
work group made final selections based in part on whether qualitative and quantitative measures indicated
that the recommended texts were of sufficient complexity for the grade band. For those types of texts—par-
ticularly poetry and multimedia sources—for which these measures are not as well suited, professional judg-
ment necessarily played a greater role in selection.
• Quality. While it is possible to have high-complexity texts of low inherent quality, the work group solicited only
texts of recognized value. From the pool of submissions gathered from outside contributors, the work group
selected classic or historically significant texts as well as contemporary works of comparable literary merit,
cultural significance, and rich content.
• Range. After identifying texts of appropriate complexity and quality, the work group applied other criteria to
ensure that the samples presented in each band represented as broad a range of sufficiently complex, high-
quality texts as possible. Among the factors considered were initial publication date, authorship, and subject
matter.
Copyright and Permissions
For those exemplar texts not in the public domain, we secured permissions and in some cases employed a conser-
vative interp.

Common Core
I) Introduction
A. Common Core is an educational tool that should not be used in our public schools.
B. Common Core is unconstitutional and is a disadvantage for teachers as well as students and their parents.
C. Although some people believe that Common Core has been a great model and useful for education, it is an unnecessary program to have in schools and needs to be eliminated for several reasons.
II) Body
A. Common core is unconstitutional.
· Common Core was not a concept done by the Department of Education (DOE).
· It was created by a company named Achieve, Inc. and released under two private associations, the National Governors Association (NGA) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO).
· Educational responsibility has been taken away from the states and local districts.
B. Common Core has not been embraced by teachers very well.
· Many teachers have had to adapt their style of teaching to accommodate the Common Core curriculum.
· It only focuses on three specific subjects such as Mathematics.
· Focuses more on “critical thinking” rather than knowledge.
C. It is not beneficial for students and their parents.
· Parents have a difficult time helping their children with homework because they do not understand the methods used to solve the problems.
· Prepares students more for the workforce, rather than college.
III) Refuting Opponents Arguments Comment by Author: You list opposing arguments, but you did not provide refutations.
D. States win more money
· States that implement Common Core have the chance to compete for Race to the Top money and a better chance at a No Child Left Behind Waiver.
E. Prepares students more efficiently
· Students who are taught Common Core are more prepared for college than others.
F. Statewide standards benefit students from other states
· Statewide based school standards allow teachers to assist better students who move frequently and are constantly changing schools.
IV) Conclusion
G. While for some Common Core is a success, it is still a nuisance that needs to be eliminated. It takes rights away from teachers, parents and schools.
H. A Disaster For Libraries, a disaster for Language Arts, a Disaster for American Education. Comment by Author: Not sure how this will play out, but just be sure that this does not present itself as new information. Comment by Author: Comment by Author:
I. Finally, there is no evidence that having national standards and increasing testing have improved student learning in the past.

Subtractable—over-fishing reduces availability of stock for other users.
Core—total number of fish in a specific population required to sustain the population through time.
Fringe—number of fish that can be harvested without reducing the ability of the population to sustain itself through time.

Subtractability-use of a resource by one person means it is not available to another
Core?
Fringe?
We must consider both quantity and quality of water in a system
Why is water quantity/quality important?

and the Tragedy of the Commons
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ByXM47Ri1Kc
Elinor "Lin" Ostrom (born Elinor Claire Awan;[2] August 7, 1933 – June 12, 2012) was an American political economist[3][4][5] whose work was associated with the New Institutional Economics and the resurgence of political economy.[6] In 2009, she shared the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences with Oliver E. Williamson for "her analysis of economic governance, especially the commons".[7] To date, she remains the only woman to win The Prize in Economics.

Elinor Ostrom’s Cooperative Management Conditions
Dr. Ostrom studied thousands of locally self-governed CPR systems all around the world
to determine what the sustainable systems had in common, and what the failures had in common.
Ostrom developed a set of design principles associated with sustainable local community governance of small-scale CPRs.
Ostrom’s Cooperative Management Conditions (1/2)
Clearly defined boundaries
Who gets access, who doesn’t
Resource boundaries
Congruence
Costs ≈ Benefits of cooperating
Appropriation rules are fair and sensible, locale-specific
Argues against “one rule system fits all” approach.
Collective-choice arrangements
Most individuals affected have a voice in changing the rules
Monitoring
Monitors are the cooperative members
Ostrom’s Cooperative Management Conditions (2/2)
Graduated sanctions
Punishment scaled to the offence
Sanctions administered by the cooperative
Conflict-resolution mechanisms
Access to low-cost, rapid, local way to resolve conflicts
Recognition of Rights to Organize
Community’s right t.

Common Assignment Essay
Objective of this Assignment: This assignment will be used to evaluate student progress on the
course learning objectives. The assignment will be uploaded as a file on Blackboard.
Instructions: Students will follow the process outlined below to guide them in the development of a
comparative essay. The essay should be approximately 700-1000 words, and should include
footnotes.
➢ Step One: Essay Purpose / Relevance / The Task of a Historian
o Purpose: Students should consider why the topic of memorializing the Mexican
American War is a contemporary problem facing historians.
o Task of a Historian: Your work should clearly communicate the purpose of public history
sites (museums / battlegrounds / memorials), the current struggle between art and truth,
the reasons why this event has been ignored by previous generations / administrations,
and the societal impact of neglecting a major historic event.
o Relevance: Your work should consider the current facilities and public history sites
dedicated to honoring this event and its participants, as well as the funding and
supporters associated with those sites. (At a minimum you should examine the facilities
in Texas, however, there are links provided to steer you to other state /federal facilities).
Furthermore, you should consider the message provided at those sites / exhibits and
whether this message is satisfactory given the mission of public historians.
o You may copy and paste sections of your source analysis from the previous essay, just
pay attention to flow and be sure to utilize footnotes.
➢ Step Two: You must use these two sources. Read these first so you can understand the war,
and how it has or has not been remembered.
o REQUIRED SOURCE--"1848/1898: Memorial Day, Places of Memory, and Imperial
Amnesia" by Amy Greenberg in JSTOR
o REQUIRED SOURCE--"The Annexation of Texas and the Mexican War" by Z.T.
Fulmore in JSTOR
➢ Step Three: Study the information on current Mexican American War exhibits, battlegrounds,
monuments, dedications, etc. I have organized the suggested resources, emphasizing Texas
sites in the highly suggested category.

Commitment to Professionalism
Commitment to Professionalism.
Due by Day 7
. As leaders in early childhood education we are in the unique position of creating partnerships with the community, organizations, and local government in an effort to promote the needs of the children we are serving. Through a program’s daily operation, we are witnesses to the specific issues that are facing the children, families, and community in which we work. When we highlight and broadcast these issues and advocate for a community’s needs, we are also advocating for increased awareness of the value and professionalism of the field of early childhood education. When we participate in advocating in our field we are further demonstrating that we are professionals that deserve to be valued and respected.
After reading the week’s text, write a reflection in two parts:
Part I
Identify the focus of your advocacy efforts and give an example of an issue you would like to address as an advocate.
Identify one individual or group (local policy maker, state-level legislator, corporate leader, etc.) that you can contact for support of your issue and provide a rationale for choosing this individual/group.
Describe the strategies you would use to gain the support needed for this issue through individual advocacy.
Describe the strategies you would use to attract the support needed for this issue through collective advocacy.
Create two talking points (as discussed in Chapter 13) using one
concrete example
(refer to key term in chapter reading for precise definition) for each point to demonstrate the importance of the issue.
These talking points should be appropriate to use when talking to legislators or the media about the issue for which you are advocating.
Part II
Create a Commitment to the Profession Statement. Remember, this is a draft that will continually be revised and modified as new information is acquired. Address the following:
Describe how you will advocate on behalf of young children, their families, and the profession.
Describe how you will support the development of future practitioners and leaders in the field.
Refer to Figure 13.1 “A Professional Continuum” and describe how your efforts will support the field away from
unskilled workers
and toward
paradigm professionals
.

Operation Blue Star - Saka Neela Tara
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

- 3. Post an application of strategic planning concepts to professional and academic contexts. Your application should include answers to the following: · What concepts did you find that changed the way you developed your Hook statement? · What connections did you discover that helped to ground your Anchor statement? · How did your General Business Problem incorporate any key learning outcomes for the course? · How will this course content help you refine your Specific Business Problem? Be sure to support your work with a minimum of two specific citations from this week’s Learning Resources and at least one additional scholarly source. Guillermo Concepts that help develop the hook statement The strategy implementation presented by Dyer (2016) helps ensure that the hook is worded in a way that relates to shared values in the organization. If the hook statement is narrowly focused, it may limit the appeal of the paper. As Dr. Taylor explains, the hook is meant to engage the reader. Connections to the anchor statement The anchor statement is meant to highlight why the topic is relevant and worth studying at a doctoral level and should address strategic business issues that can help bring positive social change, (Taylor, 2011). The article “asking what else?” (Wilburn, & Wilburn, 2016) provides a good framework to make sure the problem is strategic in nature, and not limited to a tactical solution for a specific task.
- 4. Learning outcomes applied to the general business problem. The nature of the course provides a strong foundation for the doctoral study. An understanding of the fundamentals of thought, structure, process, models, influence, and leadership for strategic planning to create innovation and competitive advantage with a focus on positive social change (Walden, n.d.). the course helped clarify the question: why would a firm invest in addressing the problem presented? The material increases understanding of how firms prioritize (or should prioritize) resource allocation to maximize the firm and its stakeholder’s benefits. Refining the specific business problem The course re-framed the approach of my original problem statement. Understanding the process for creation and implementation of strategy enhanced the scope of the problem statement. The original approach was functional and focused on salving a single issue. Through the readings and discussion of this class, the scope was enhanced to look at how the problem may affect the firm’s strategy and contribute to maintaining a competitive advantage. References Dyer, J. H., Godfrey, P., Jensen, R., & Bryce, D. (2016). Strategic management: Concepts and tools for creating real world strategy. Hoboken, NJ: John Wiley & Sons. Taylor, R.

Retrieved from https://cb.hbsp.harvard.edu/cbmp/pl/71270434/71270440/25ef8a 967418c3892be c38bff34ced98 Dawn Development of Hook Statement The development of the hook statement is critical in the overall structure of the problem statement. The hook statement is meant to grab the reader’s attention while simultaneously introducing and informing the reader of a specific topic or theme throughout the paper (Walden Writing Center, 2018). The hook statement should be clear, concise and to the point. In applying concepts that aided in the development of the hook statement, this is an area I am steadily working on because I tend to be too wordy. Being concise does not necessarily mean sacrificing quality or information. It is simply choosing what is essential. According to the DBA Rubric, one is discouraged from using superfluous wording in the problem statement in general (Walden University, 2016). Furthermore, understanding that the hook must be a statement supported by a scholarly reference was also imperative in the construction. Where I was corrected at during Residency is that the hook is not an opinion, but should be based on facts that can be supported in the literature. Grounding the Anchor Statement The anchor statement does just that, it anchors the concept of the paper with the hook and establishes the direction of the report. It too must be supported by literature and be
- 6. directly applicable to the research (Walden University, 2016). Ensuring adequate data is retrievable for the study plays an integral role in deciding whether or not to pursues a specific research topic. As discussed during residency, before putting all your eggs in one basket, one must ensure that the problem is researchable and that there are enough data and information available to pursue the research topic. The process of gathering supportive information helps scholars determine whether the research problem is actually ‘researchable.’ Often, too much time is wasted trying to make the shoe fit when it is the wrong size (Ok, you guys, I literally, JUST came up with that, LOL! It’s been a long day and I need a laugh). I actually had to change my research topic, and have now been able to find substantial dat to support my business problem. In concentrating on effective strategies used to reduce employee turnover in the retail environment, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has been a phenomenal resource, along with literature found throughout the Walden Library database. What I have to keep in the forefront of my mind is what the anchor is designed to do. It anchors to the hook, keeps both the writer and the reader from drifting, and ensures the use of a credible source (University of Maryland, 2018), not to mention, ensuring credibility provides reliability and prevents bias. Application of Learning Outcomes to General Business Problem In reflecting on the learning outcomes of this course, I identified with three of the objectives specifically which aided in the refinement of my business problem: · Evaluating strategic planning approaches · Synthesizing the use of business models, and · Analyzing stakeholder influence on strategic planning (Walden University, 2018). The listed course objectives enabled me to strategically work through the development of the statement by identifying relevant information and asking the right questions. Wilburn and Wilburn (2015) suggest asking ‘what else’ to identify anything that may negatively impact the research or strategic
- 7. process. Additionally, synthesizing the use of business models is extremely beneficial within the nature of my research by providing structured models business leaders can implement within the organizations. The case studies documented in Dyer, Godfrey, Jensen, and Bryce, 2016), reflect a versatility in the types of models applied to specific businesses and industries. Lastly, incorporating stakeholder influence helped guide my thought process towards those who are directly affected by business problems, as well as those who [themselves] impact the effectiveness of strategic business processes. Using Course Content to Refine Specific Business Problem Through interactive discussions, assignme nts, course readings and research, I gained valuable insight into applying strategy not only to the writing process but the thought processes as well. Moreover, reading and studying scholarly literature has further aided in helping me understand the natur e of scholarly writing and therefore assisting in the refinement process. Having a plan has been a central theme throughout this course, and staying focused on the central idea is a reflection of having a well-identified research and writing plan in place.
