‘George Floyd event’. A tragedy. It contains four parts.
Section One is an inventory of official state and federal
government agencies such as County Sheriff websites. Part
Two provides a listing of privately owned databases. The
segment on page 2 offers a list of official databases that will

This document discusses sources of adoption data in the United States. There has never been a single, comprehensive national database to track all adoption activity. Available data comes from disparate sources like state court records, foster care records, international visa records, and population surveys. These sources provide estimates that around 125,000 domestic adoptions occur annually in the US, with about 1.6 million adopted children under 18 and up to 6 million adopted individuals of all ages living in the country. While data collection has improved, there is still room for developing more comprehensive and consistent adoption statistics nationwide.
The IRS approves over 50,000 applications for 501(c)(3) nonprofit status every year, rejecting less than 2% of applications. Obtaining nonprofit status, which provides tax exemptions and allows tax-deductible donations, requires minimal oversight. The approval process has become a rubber stamp, with little scrutiny of applicants. The document examines approval rates from 1998 to 2008 and provides examples of bizarre organizations approved in 2008 to argue that "anything goes" in terms of what types of organizations can obtain nonprofit status. Reforms are proposed to strengthen oversight of the application process.

The United States....are we failing our children?Jackiet0920

This document provides an analysis of the Adoption and Safe Families Act (ASFA) of 1997 and its impact on African American families and children in the child welfare system. It summarizes that while ASFA aimed to promote child safety and permanency, it has disproportionately affected African American families by increasing the number of African American children in foster care and expediting the termination of parental rights. The document analyzes national statistics that show African American children are overrepresented in the foster care system compared to their percentage of the general population. It argues that ASFA has not adequately considered the role of racism and poverty in disproportionately affecting African American families within the child welfare system.

Report #3 Changing Public Opinion Before beginning this MoseStaton39
Report #3: Changing Public Opinion
Before beginning this assignment, make certain that you have read Chapter 6 in your text (“Public Opinion
and Political Action”), the 2021 Pew Research Center Report titled “Americans See Broad Responsibilities for
Government; Little Change Since 2019” (March 17), and the 2020 article by Eli Finkel et al. from Science titled,
“Political Sectarianism in America” (October, Vol. 370, Issue 6516). Then write a brief report that contains
three separate sections that address all the points in each set of questions. Notice the expected word count
for each section (exceeding the word count will not negatively affect your grade, but please try to stay within
the range).
1. Relying on the Pew Research Center Report, briefly summarize what Americans think about the role
of the federal government in addressing various policy issues (indicate specific areas and indicate
where support is strongest and where it is weakest). Also, describe general levels of trust of and
contentment with the federal government and indicate what changes can be detected over time.
(approximately 150-200 words)
2. How do attitudes about federal government responsibilities differ by age, race, income, and
partisanship (Democrats and Republicans)? Be sure to indicate where the differences are the least and
where they are the greatest on each of these dimensions (age, race, income, and partisanship).

The federal Freedom of Information Act “Provides access to all records of all federal agencies in the executive branch unless those records fall within one of nine categories of exempt information that agencies are permitted (but generally not required) to withhold” (Federal Open Government Guide, p. 4). This is open to the entire public for their use. A request can be made over the phone, online or in written word. A person is also allowed an immediate request or to ask for an expedited request. Not only that but if an agency refuses to disclose all or part of a request you have the right to request an appeal.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.
