This document provides instructions for an assignment to design a normalized database based on a business scenario. Students are asked to:
1) Create an ERD based on the provided business scenario of a clothing retail company.
2) Complete a normalization table to normalize the database design by applying three normal forms - 1st, 2nd, and 3rd normal form.
3) Identify sensible entity names for each group of normalized fields which will become database tables.
The goal is for students to analyze the business data needs, design logical database tables, and normalize the design to eliminate data anomalies and ensure each table serves a clear purpose.

DUE DATE: Sunday midnight of Week 4, submitted in a MS Word (or Excel if
computations required) document with filename format:
Last First_Week X hwk.doc or .xls Make sure your name appears on each page of the
homework using the header function.
Homework questions:
1. The Fair Value requirement has been blamed by some for the credit market crunch that
started in 2007, worsened in 2008 and continues into 2009. Discuss what effect you
think Fair Value had on financial institutions and why some believe that it precipitated
the current economic recession. Do you agree or disagree that Fair Value caused the
collapse of the mortgage and lending markets? There are a number of good articles and
links to help you with this such as the article in the Web Links page from the January 20,
2009 Boston Globe about the impact on State Street Corporation’s capital from
potentially having to permanently write down the value of assets (it will help you
understand how marking down the value of assets impacts the banks’ capital, and how in
turn, this impacts their ability to lend). Also, the JOA May 2008 3 Articles with view pro
and con about Fair Value vs. Historic Cost. There are a number of other readings to help
with this topic or you may gather your own-please share them if you would on the student
section of the Web Links page.
2. You are the CFO of a publicly traded company and are getting ready to prepare you year-
end financial statements. In your investment portfolio you have:
a. Long-term bank CD’s
b. Stock holdings in 5 publicly traded companies
c. Stock holdings in 2 privately held companies
d. Investment in a real estate trust (REIT) which owns strip malls and other
commercial buildings for retail establishments. This trust trades on a market
with other similar trusts, although the trades are infrequent. Take into account
the current real estate market when evaluating this investment.
e. Private equity investment in a joint venture for the development of a new
green energy method to produce electricity.
f. Complex foreign currency hedges that were custom-designed by an
investment bank for the company, to hedge their exchange rate exposure on
overseas transactions.
What level for evaluation would each fall into and what method(s) would you use to
determine the fair value of each? How easy or difficult would each be and why? The Nov
16, 2008 Financial Week Article on the Web Links page about Illiquid Bank Assets may
help with this question.
3. Find the financial statements of a publicly traded company that has measured assets
and/or liabilities at fair value. You will find this information in the footnotes (just open
up the document and search the page with either Fair Value or FAS 157 as a key word).
What financial ratios (name at least 2) could be affected by the difference between
measuring these assets at historic cost vs. fair val.

IT 330 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
Databases are increasingly important in the information age, as they provide a means to organize, track, manage, and use information easily and efficiently.
Thousands of companies depend on databases to record and update data. Databases have a wide variety of uses, from tracking climate measurements
worldwide to storing library research information to organizing user data for businesses and organizations.
For this assessment, you will solve an information storage problem. The owner of two local bookstores wants to consolidate individual store inventories. You will
organize the store inventory data into workable tables and apply normalization techniques to create a single common SQL-based database that can be shared
between the stores. In addition, you will submit a report explaining the choices you made in the creation of your database. The report will also include an entity-
relationship diagram and other models as well as a description of the database design features.
Some components of this final project will have been developed earlier in the course and submitted for instructor feedback. You will submit them a second time
as part of this final project, incorporating the feedback that you received from your instructor. This project is divided into two milestones, which will be
submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. These milestones will be due in Modules Two and
Four. The final database and report will be submitted in Module Seven.
This assessment addresses the following course outcomes:
Differentiate between database systems and file systems by comparing features and functions to determine benefits in data management
Analyze business information storage problems for depicting suitable information model solutions using entity relation diagrams
Apply database normalization theory to relational data models for defining relationships and minimizing redundancy
Develop solutions to query and data update problems using a Structured Query Language interface to create, populate, maintain, and query databases

2. Corporate governance is the system of rules, practices, and processes by which a company is directed and controlled. Corporate governance refers to how companies are governed and to what purpose. Drawing from the course material and your 10K Report, are there any corporate governance issues with your chosen company? Explain.
Before completing this assignment, make sure to read Chapter 4 in the textbook, paying attention to the sections about municipal and rural water supplies.
The water distribution system is a critical component of any firefighting operation. The distribution system is equally important in a municipal or rural setting. Having a reliable water supply will dictate a fire department’s ability to extinguish most fires. While having portable water on an apparatus provides a head start on an extinguishment effort, most fires require more water than is carried on an apparatus.
Using knowledge that you have gained from this unit, go out into the community where you work or live to investigate a water distribution system. You will use details from your investigation to compose an assignment about the water system you found.
Be sure to address the following topics:
· Is the water distribution system a municipal or rural system?
· Describe the components of the system that you found, including unseen critical components and potential deficiencies.
· Report on any deficiencies of the system that you found.
· Draw conclusions on how the system could be improved.
· Discuss how the forces of water affect the water distribution system.
You may include pictures of the water distribution systems components that you think will help enhance the explanation of the system’s components. An example of this would be an elevated water tank or dry hydrant.

Professional Context
Health education
is any combination of learning experiences designed to help community individuals, families, and aggregates improve their health by increasing knowledge or influencing attitudes (WHO, 2018). Education is key to health promotion, disease prevention, and disaster preparedness. The health indicator framework identified in Healthy People 2020 helps motivate action in such areas as health service access, clinical preventive services, environmental quality, injury or violence, maternal, infant and child health, mental health, nutrition, substance abuse, and tobacco use.
Nurses provide accurate evidence-based information and education in various formal and informal settings. They draw upon evidence-based practice to provide health promotion and disease prevention activities to create social and physical environments conducive to improving and maintaining community health. When provided with the tools to be successful, people demonstrate lifestyle changes (self-care) that promote health and help reduce readmissions. They are better able to tolerate stressors, including environmental changes, and enjoy a better quality of life. In times of crisis, a resilient community is a safer community (ODPHP, n.d.; Flanders, 2018).
This assessment provides an opportunity for you to apply teaching and learning concepts to the presentation of a health promotion plan.

Assessment 4
Cost Savings Analysis
OverviewPrepare a spreadsheet of cost savings data showing efficiency gains attributable to care coordination over the course of one fiscal year, and report your key findings in an executive summary, 4–5 pages in length.
Information plays a fundamental role in health care. Providers such as physicians and hospitals create and process information as they deliver care to patients. However, managing that information and using it productively poses an ongoing challenge, particularly in light of the complexity of the U.S. health care sector, with its many diverse settings for care and types of providers and services. Health information technology (HIT) has the potential to considerably increase the productivity of the health sector by assisting providers in managing information. Furthermore, HIT can improve the quality of health care and, ultimately, the outcomes of that care for patients.
The use of HIT has been upheld as having remarkable promise in improving the efficiency, quality, cost-effectiveness, and safety of medical care delivery in our nation's health care system. This assessment provides an opportunity for you to examine how utilizing HIT can positively affect the financial health of an organization, improve patient health, and create better health outcomes.
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:
Competency 1: Apply care coordination models to improve the patient experience, promote population health, and reduce costs.
Describe ways in which care coordination can generate cost savings.
Competency 2: Explain the relationship between care coordination and evidence-based data.
Describe ways in which care coordination efforts can enhance the collection of evidence-based data and improve quality through the application of an emerging health care model.
Competency 3: Use health information technology to guide care coordination and organizational practice.
Explain how care coordination can promote improved health consumerism and effect positive health outcomes.
Competency 4: Communicate effectively with diverse audiences, in an appropriate form and style, consistent with applicable organizational, professional, and scholarly standards.
Present cost savings data and information clearly and accurately.
Support main points, claims, and conclusions with relevant and credible evidence, correctly formatting citations and references using APA style.

Assessment 4 ContextRecall that null hypothesis tests are of.docxgalerussel59292
Assessment 4 Context
Recall that null hypothesis tests are of two types: (1) differences between group means and (2) association between variables. In both cases there is a null hypothesis and an alternative hypothesis. In the group means test, the null hypothesis is that the two groups have equal means, and the alternative hypothesis is that the two groups do not have equal means. In the association between variables type of test, the null hypothesis is that the correlation coefficient between the two variables is zero, and the alternative hypothesis is that the correlation coefficient is not zero.
Notice in each case that the hypotheses are mutually exclusive. If the null is false, the alternative must be true. The purpose of null hypothesis statistical tests is generally to show that the null has a low probability of being true (the p value is less than .05) – low enough that the researcher can legitimately claim it is false. The reason this is done is to support the allegation that the alternative hypothesis is true.
In this context you will be studying the details of the first type of test again, with the added capability of comparing the means among more than two group at a time. This is the same type of test of difference between group means. In variations on this model, the groups can actually be the same people under different conditions. The main idea is that several group mean values are being compared. The groups each have an average score or mean on some variable. The null hypothesis is that the difference between all the group means is zero. The alternative hypothesis is that the difference between the means is not zero. Notice that if the null is false, the alternative must be true. It is first instructive to consider some of the details of groups.
One might ask why we would not use multiple t tests in this situation. For instance, with three groups, why would I not compare groups one and two with a t test, then compare groups one and three, and then compare groups two and three?
The answer can be found in our basic probability review. We are concerned with the probability of a TYPE I error (rejecting a true null hypothesis). We generally set an alpha level of .05, which is the probability of making a TYPE I error. Now consider what happens when we do three t tests. There is .05 probability of making a TYPE I error on the first test, .05 probability of the same error on the second test, and .05 probability on the third test. What happens is that these errors are essentially additive, in that the chances of at least one TYPE I error among the three tests much greater than .05. It is like the increased probability of drawing an ace from a deck of cards when we can make multiple draws.
ANOVA allows us do an "overall" test of multiple groups to determine if there are any differences among groups within the set. Notice that ANOVA does not tell us which groups among the three groups are different from each other. The primary test.

Before completing this assignment, make sure to read Chapter 4 in the textbook, paying attention to the sections about municipal and rural water supplies.
The water distribution system is a critical component of any firefighting operation. The distribution system is equally important in a municipal or rural setting. Having a reliable water supply will dictate a fire department’s ability to extinguish most fires. While having portable water on an apparatus provides a head start on an extinguishment effort, most fires require more water than is carried on an apparatus.
Using knowledge that you have gained from this unit, go out into the community where you work or live to investigate a water distribution system. You will use details from your investigation to compose an assignment about the water system you found.
Be sure to address the following topics:
· Is the water distribution system a municipal or rural system?
· Describe the components of the system that you found, including unseen critical components and potential deficiencies.
· Report on any deficiencies of the system that you found.
· Draw conclusions on how the system could be improved.
· Discuss how the forces of water affect the water distribution system.
You may include pictures of the water distribution systems components that you think will help enhance the explanation of the system’s components. An example of this would be an elevated water tank or dry hydrant.

Professional Context
Health education
is any combination of learning experiences designed to help community individuals, families, and aggregates improve their health by increasing knowledge or influencing attitudes (WHO, 2018). Education is key to health promotion, disease prevention, and disaster preparedness. The health indicator framework identified in Healthy People 2020 helps motivate action in such areas as health service access, clinical preventive services, environmental quality, injury or violence, maternal, infant and child health, mental health, nutrition, substance abuse, and tobacco use.
Nurses provide accurate evidence-based information and education in various formal and informal settings. They draw upon evidence-based practice to provide health promotion and disease prevention activities to create social and physical environments conducive to improving and maintaining community health. When provided with the tools to be successful, people demonstrate lifestyle changes (self-care) that promote health and help reduce readmissions. They are better able to tolerate stressors, including environmental changes, and enjoy a better quality of life. In times of crisis, a resilient community is a safer community (ODPHP, n.d.; Flanders, 2018).
This assessment provides an opportunity for you to apply teaching and learning concepts to the presentation of a health promotion plan.

*NEED A SCRIPT FOR THIS, THANK YOU*
Create a 5–10 minute video of yourself, as a presenter, in which you will propose an evidence-based plan to improve the outcomes for a patient and examine how remote collaboration provided benefits or challenges to designing and delivering the care.
As technologies and the health care industry continue to evolve, remote care, diagnosis, and collaboration are becoming increasingly more regular methods by which nurses are expected to work. Learning the ways in which evidence-based models and care can help remote work produce better outcomes will become critical for success. Additionally, understanding how to leverage EBP principles in collaboration will be important in the success of institutions delivering quality, safe, and cost-effective care. It could also lead to better job satisfaction for those engaging in remote collaboration.
Demonstration of Proficiency
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the course competencies through the following assessment scoring guide criteria:
Competency 2: Analyze the relevance and potential effectiveness of evidence when making a decision.
Reflect on which evidence was most relevant and useful when making decisions regarding the care plan.
Competency 3: Apply an evidence-based practice model to address a practice issue.
Explain the ways in which an EBP model was used to help develop the care plan.
Competency 4: Plan care based on the best available evidence.

Competency 5: Apply professional, scholarly communication strategies to lead practice changes based on evidence.
Identify benefits and strategies to mitigate the challenges of interdisciplinary collaboration to plan care within the context of a remote team.
Communicate in a professional manner that is easily audible and uses proper grammar, including a reference list formatted in current APA style.
Professional Context
Remote care and diagnosis is a continuing and increasingly important method for nurses to help deliver care to patients to promote safety and enhance health outcomes. Understanding best EBPs and building competence in delivering nursing care to remote patients is a key competency for all nurses. Additionally, in some scenarios, while you may be delivering care in person you may be collaborating with a physician or other team members who are remote. Understanding the benefits and challenges of interdisciplinary collaboration is vital to developing effective communication strategies when coordinating care. So, being proficient at communicating and working with remote health care team members is also critical to delivering quality, evidence-base care.

Assessment 4
Cost Savings Analysis
OverviewPrepare a spreadsheet of cost savings data showing efficiency gains attributable to care coordination over the course of one fiscal year, and report your key findings in an executive summary, 4–5 pages in length.
Information plays a fundamental role in health care. Providers such as physicians and hospitals create and process information as they deliver care to patients. However, managing that information and using it productively poses an ongoing challenge, particularly in light of the complexity of the U.S. health care sector, with its many diverse settings for care and types of providers and services. Health information technology (HIT) has the potential to considerably increase the productivity of the health sector by assisting providers in managing information. Furthermore, HIT can improve the quality of health care and, ultimately, the outcomes of that care for patients.
The use of HIT has been upheld as having remarkable promise in improving the efficiency, quality, cost-effectiveness, and safety of medical care delivery in our nation's health care system. This assessment provides an opportunity for you to examine how utilizing HIT can positively affect the financial health of an organization, improve patient health, and create better health outcomes.
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:
Competency 1: Apply care coordination models to improve the patient experience, promote population health, and reduce costs.
Describe ways in which care coordination can generate cost savings.
Competency 2: Explain the relationship between care coordination and evidence-based data.
Describe ways in which care coordination efforts can enhance the collection of evidence-based data and improve quality through the application of an emerging health care model.
Competency 3: Use health information technology to guide care coordination and organizational practice.
Explain how care coordination can promote improved health consumerism and effect positive health outcomes.
Competency 4: Communicate effectively with diverse audiences, in an appropriate form and style, consistent with applicable organizational, professional, and scholarly standards.
Present cost savings data and information clearly and accurately.
Support main points, claims, and conclusions with relevant and credible evidence, correctly formatting citations and references using APA style.

NOTE
: You are required to complete this assessment after Assessment 1 is successfully completed.
Care coordination is the process of providing a smooth and seamless transition of care as part of the health continuum. Nurses must be aware of community resources, ethical considerations, policy issues, cultural norms, safety, and the physiological needs of patients. Nurses play a key role in providing the necessary knowledge and communication to ensure seamless transitions of care. They draw upon evidence-based practices to promote health and disease prevention to create a safe environment conducive to improving and maintaining the health of individuals, families, or aggregates within a community. When provided with a plan and the resources to achieve and maintain optimal health, patients benefit from a safe environment conducive to healing and a better quality of life.
This assessment provides an opportunity to research the literature and apply evidence to support what communication, teaching, and learning best practices are needed for a hypothetical patient with a selected health care problem.

Professional Context
Nurses fulfill a variety of roles, and their diverse responsibilities as health care providers extend to the community. The decisions we make daily and in times of crisis often involve the balancing of human rights with medical necessities, equitable access to services, legal and ethical mandates, and financial constraints. When an unanticipated event occurs, such as an accident or natural disaster, issues can arise that complicate decisions about meeting the needs of an individual or group, including understanding and upholding their rights and desires, mediating conflict, and applying established ethical and legal standards of nursing care. As a nurse, you must be knowledgeable about disaster preparedness to safeguard those in your care. You are also accountable for promoting equitable quality of care for community residents.
This assessment provides an opportunity for you to apply the concepts of emergency preparedness, public health assessment, triage, management, and surveillance after a disaster. You will also focus on hospital evacuation and extended displacement periods.

Assessment 3 ContextYou will review the theory, logic, and a.docxgalerussel59292
Assessment 3 Context
You will review the theory, logic, and application of t-tests. The t-test is a basic inferential statistic often reported in psychological research. You will discover that t-tests, as well as analysis of variance (ANOVA), compare group means on some quantitative outcome variable.
Recall that null hypothesis tests are of two types: (1) differences between group means and (2) association between variables. In both cases there is a null hypothesis and an alternative hypothesis. In the group means test, the null hypothesis is that the two groups have equal means, and the alternative hypothesis is that the two groups do not have equal means. In the association between variables type of test, the null hypothesis is that the correlation coefficient between the two variables is zero, and the alternative hypothesis is that the correlation coefficient is not zero.
Notice in each case that the hypotheses are mutually exclusive. If the null is false, the alternative must be true. The purpose of null hypothesis statistical tests is generally to show that the null has a low probability of being true (the p value is less than .05) – low enough that the researcher can legitimately claim it is false. The reason this is done is to support the allegation that the alternative hypothesis is true.
In this context you will be studying the details of the first type of test. This is the test of difference between group means. In variations on this model, the two groups can actually be the same people under different conditions, or one of the groups may be assigned a fixed theoretical value. The main idea is that two mean values are being compared. The two groups each have an average score or mean on some variable. The null hypothesis is that the difference between the means is zero. The alternative hypothesis is that the difference between the means is not zero. Notice that if the null is false, the alternative must be true. It is first instructive to consider some of the details of groups. Means, and difference between them.
Null Hypothesis Significance Test
The most common forms of the Null Hypothesis Significance Test (NHST) are three types of t tests, and the test of significance of a correlation. The NHST also extends to more complex tests, such as ANOVA, which will be discussed separately. Below, the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis are given for each of the following tests. It would be a valuable use of your time to commit the information below to memory. Once this is done, then when we refer to the tests later, you will have some structure to make sense of the more detailed explanations.
1. One-sample t test: The question in this test is whether a single sample group mean is significantly different from some stated or fixed theoretical value - the fixed value is called a parameter.
· Null Hypothesis: The difference between the sample group mean and the fixed value is zero in the population.
· Alternative hypothesis: T.
Assessment 2
Quality Improvement Proposal
Overview:
Write a quality improvement proposal, 5–7 pages in length, that provides your recommendations for expanding a hospital's HIT to include quality metrics that will help the organization qualify as an accountable care organization.
Health care has undergone a transformation since the release of the Institute of Medicine's 2000 report
To Err Is Human: Building a Safer Health System.
The report highlighted medical errors as a contributing factor leading to poor patient outcomes. The Institute of Medicine challenged organizations to implement evidence-based performance improvement strategies in order to improve patient quality and safety. Multiple governmental and regulatory agencies, such as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Agency for Healthcare Quality and Research (AHRQ), vowed to strengthen and improve incentives for participation, safety, quality, and efficiency in accountable care organizations (ACOs).
Health information technology (HIT) performs an essential role in improving health outcomes of individuals, the community, and populations. Health organizations, consumer advocacy groups, and regulatory committees have made a commitment to explore current and future opportunities that HIT offers to continue momentum to meet the Institute of Medicine's goal of improving safety and quality.
Understanding HIT is important to improving individual, community, and population access to health care and health information. HIT enables quick and easy access to information for both patients and providers. Accessible information has been shown to improve the patient care experience and reduce redundancies, thereby reducing health care costs.
This assessment provides an opportunity for you to make recommendations for expanding a hospital's HIT in ways that will help the hospital qualify as an ACO.
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:
Competency 2: Explain the relationship between care coordination and evidence-based data.
Recommend ways to expand an organization's HIT to include quality metrics.
Identify potential problems that can arise with data gathering systems and outputs.
Competency 3: Use health information technology to guide care coordination and organizational practice.
Describe the main focus of information gathering in health care and how it contributes to guiding the development of organizational practice.
Competency 4: Communicate effectively with diverse audiences, in an appropriate form and style, consistent with applicable organizational, professional, and scholarly standards.
Write clearly and concisely, using correct grammar and mechanics.
Support main points, claims, and conclusions with relevant and credible evidence, correctly formatting citations and references using APA style.

Assessment 2
-Analysing factual texts
This assignment requires students to assess and critically analyse one or two of the key issues, concepts, keywords or themes raised across the module in some detail. The assignment must address the above by paying specific reference to examples drawn from one of the following factual formats listed below.
Students must apply a concept to a textual example
:-Broadcast news (eg The Channel 4 News, PM)
-Political discussion show (eg Question Time, Any Questions)-
Current affairs (eg Newsnight, Today)-
The talk show (eg The Jeremy Kyle Show)-
Documentary (eg Dispatches, The Report)-
Reality television (eg The X-Factor)-
Lifestyle television (eg How to Look Good Naked)
The essay should focus principally on one concept. It can refer to others in passing if there is significant overlap -eg if discussing impartiality in broadcast news it may be appropriate to briefly mention balance or objectivity. •Similarly, the essay should focus principally on one television, radio example.•Students are encouraged to engage with critical debates that may take place around their chosen example (eg a newspaper’s reaction to a broadcast).•If your analysis refers to specific episodes, you must ensure you reference the text in full (eg original date of airing, URL for online viewing, channel name, etc).•Be careful not to dilute your analysis by trying to cover lots of areas superficially.•The essay requires students to be critical rather than descriptive. Describing the narrative of a text achieves very little in isolation other than to pad out the word count inefficiently.•Similarly, long general historiographies of concepts or formats are seldom conducive to critical analysis. Significant moments or developments are acceptable providing they pertain to the selected example.•The best work will demonstrate knowledge of the subjects, contextualising relevant themes and issues in relation to historical shifts and the contemporary television landscape.•The assignment should consist of your own analysis of a media text rather than paraphrasing an article by an established author. Higher grades will be awarded to work that is able to apply an argument/framework from one area and apply it to a different example –eg taking the work of Lunt and Stenner on The Jerry Springer Show and applying it to The Jeremy Kyle Show or Higgins’ work on newspapers and applying it to television news.•The essay should be 2500 words. It can go 10% either side of this target without penalty. grades can be penalised for failing to adhere to this target.Your essays must include critical reference to definitions of your chosen concepts from legitimate academic sources, either from within the recommended course reading or from your own independent research. Your assignments must be written entirely in your own words (except for properly acknowledged quotations). A bibliography must be appended. We remind you about, and emphasise the importance of.

Network and Workflow for a Ddata Analytics Company on Ssports.
A company’s network and workflow play a major roles in its performance and growth. Different companies consist of rely on different networks and workflows depending on the services/tasks they are providing and the number of workers and members of staff. A network tends to connect workers and members of staff at different levels of the company. This network tends to create a good and effective workflow within the company, hence a company network and workflow go hand in hand. When creating a network and a workflow of a company, the workers and members of staff working duration must be considered in order to achieve a company objective (Moretti, 2017).Also, the mode of employment which may be permanent or temporary/laying down of workers within a short period of time, to a large extent determines a company’s network and workflow. The change of an organizational requirement due to growth and expansion creates a need for a company to adapt a new network and workflow. A network in company plays a vital role of guiding how the company should run its operations. Comment by Mark O'Connell: Duration?? Comment by Mark O'Connell: What? Laying down??

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
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.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

AssessmentStudents should demonstrate that they can distinguish.docx
1. Assessment:
Students should demonstrate that they can distinguish the
relevant points that form a logically coherent argument. They
should also be able to construct criticisms which effectively
undermine, through the use of appropriate counter-examples,
some premise of that argument.
Your assignment is to select any ONE of the following four
articles found in the last chapter of our textbook, Competing
Visions:
Frivolity of Evil
How--and How Not--to Love Mankind
Ibsen and His Discontents
What is Poverty?
NOTE: THIS IS NOT A RESEARCH PAPER, SO DO NOT USE
ANY OUTSIDE SOURCES. This assignment is designed to test
your ability (after several weeks of reading difficult primary
sources in philosophy) to comprehend, explain, analyze, and
evaluate a philosophic essay of college-level difficulty. This is
all about YOU wrestling with a difficult text and ascertaining
its meaning in addition to articulating and defending your own
position on the issues discussed in your chosen Dalrymple
article. It is for this reason that the use of any sources other
than your Dalrymple article and our textbook will result in an
automatic 50 point deduction. The use of outside sources
without proper attribution constitutes plagiarism and will earn
you a ZERO for this assignment with no chance to make it up.
FOR THE ARTICLE YOU CHOOSE TO WRITE ON, you will
type a 1000-1500 word response in which you address EACH of
the following points IN YOUR OWN WORDS: 1) What is the
author's main argument? 2) How does he support his main
argument (evidence, ancillary arguments, etc.)? 3) Do you agree
or disagree with him? 4) Why or why not? 5) Apply the insights
of at least two of the readings we have studied in this course (in
chapters 1-10) to your analysis. Make sure to explain how the
2. philosophers' insights are relevant to the topic you are
discussing.
A WORD OF WARNING: These articles are rather long and
complex. The author likes to make extensive use of his rather
copious vocabulary, so I strongly urge you to
have dictionary.com handy as you work your way through your
chosen article. The purpose of this essay assignment is for you
to demonstrate your ability to discuss, analyze, and
evaluate complex philosophic arguments. I am confident that
the reading assignments, tests, and discussion boards will have
prepared you for this final, and no doubt challenging, essay
assignment.
DBM/380 v14
Create a Database
DBM/380 v14
Page 2 of 2Create a Database
The following assignment is based on the business scenario for
which you created both an entity-relationship diagram and a
normalized database design in Week 2.
For this assignment, you will create multiple related tables that
match your normalized database design. In other words, you
will implement a physical design (an actual, usable database)
based on a logical design.
Refer to the linked W3Schools.com articles “SQL CREATE
TABLE Statement,” “SQL PRIMARY KEY Constraint,” “SQL
FOREIGN KEY Constraint,” and “SQL INSERT INTO
Statement” for help in completing this assignment.
Note: In the industry, even the most carefully thought out
database designs can contain mistakes. Feel free to correct in
your tables any mistakes you notice in your normalized database
design. Also, note that in Microsoft® Access®, you follow the
steps below to launch the SQL editor:
Figure 1. To create a SQL query in Microsoft® Access®, begin
3. by clicking the CREATE tab.
To Complete This Assignment:
1. Use the CREATE TABLE statement to create each table in
your design. Note that a table in a RDMS corresponds to an
entity in an entity-relationship diagram. Recommended tables
for this assignment are CUSTOMER, ORDER,
ORDER_DETAIL, PRODUCT, EMPLOYEE, and STORE.
2. As part of each CREATE TABLE statement, define all of the
columns, or fields, that you want each particular table to
contain. Give them short, meaningful names and include
constraints; that is, describe what type of data each column
(field) is allowed to hold and any other constraints, such as
size, range, or uniqueness.
3. Note that any field you marked as a unique identifier in your
normalized database design is a key field. Key fields must be
described as both UNIQUE and NOT NULL, which means a
value must exist for each record and that value must be unique
across all records.
4. After you have created all six tables, including relationships
between the tables as appropriate (matching the primary key in
one table to a foreign key in another table), use the INSERT
INTO statement to insert 10 records into each of your tables.
You will need to make up the data you insert into your tables.
For example, to insert one record into the CUSTOMER table,
you will need to invent a customer number, a customer name,
and so on—one value for each of the fields you defined for the
CUSTOMER table—to insert into the table.
5. To ensure that your INSERT INTO statements succeeded in
populating your tables, use the SELECT statement described in
Ch. 7, “Introduction to Structured Query Language,” in
Database Systems: Design, Implementation, and Management.to
retrieve the records you inserted. For example, to see all 10
records you inserted into the CUSTOMER table, you might
apply the following SQL statement: SELECT * FROM
CUSTOMER;
After you have created all six tables and populated ten records

personnel, and facilities maintenance personnel. All locations
stock a full complement of Brewton products for delivery to
purchasing customers. In addition to these functions,
headquarters, located in Eugene, also provides human resources,
purchasing analysts, sales and marketing personnel,
accountants, systems personnel, and operations personnel.
Mark Brewton, the company’s founder, wants to implement a
relational database management system (RDBMS) that would
support his long-term vision in implementing comprehensive
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) application to support the
business now and in the future. He believes the business has
grown to the point that such a system will streamline business
processes, help control business expenditures, and better
manage inventory levels, which presently do not seem to reflect
accurate numbers for each distribution center. The new system
will replace almost all of the computer applications currently in
use in the company.The Current System Environment
Users in the business functions of the organization use
standalone software packages, each with its own database. The
standalone software packages include a purchasing system,
accounting and payroll applications, and a personnel-tracking
system used by Human Resources. Because these applications
do not share files, there are frequently situations in which
employee and customer data do not match. When this happens,
research must be conducted—and data updated in multiple
places--to make the data consistent across all the standalone
systems. The IT organization runs special programs developed
to cross-compare the information and report mismatches among
data files, which are then updated to reflect the correct
information. The company currently does not have a disaster
recovery plan or a business continuity plan to be followed in the
event of a contingency situation, such as flooding or an
earthquake, and management feels this situation should be
addressed. The company needs to back up its databases to
prevent data loss in the case of a disaster or other emergency.

ii. In the UNF column, designate any field names that seem to
uniquely identify a person, place, or thing (noun) by typing an
asterisk next to that field name. These are your potential keys.
ID numbers (such as student IDs, order IDs, and social security
numbers) that are unique to a specific individual, transaction, or
other noun make good keys.
· For example, field names that can hold the same value in
different situations (such as “John Smith” or “freshman”) are
not unique and therefore not suitable for keys.
iii. Also in the UNF column, designate any field names that
seem to represent repeating values. Use a closing parenthesis
“)” to designate repeating values.
· For example, students typically take many classes, so in an
educational scenario where “student ID” is a key, “class name”
is an example of a repeating value. Because one customer can
place many orders, in a business scenario where “customer ID”
is a key, “order” is an example of a repeating value.
iv. Also in the UNF column, for any group of repeating values
you have identified (the values you marked with a parenthesis),
identify the key, or unique identifier, for that group of repeating
values. Type an asterisk next to the key associated with each
group of repeating values.
· For example, in an educational setting that has repeating
values of “class name,” “class ID,” and “class instructor,”
“class ID” would be a suitable unique identifier/key. In a
business scenario that has repeating values of “order,” “order
ID” would be a suitable unique identifier/key.
b. Apply the first normal form rule. 1NF states that each group
of related field names should have a unique identifier (primary
key), and each field name should represent one and only one
value and contain no repeating groups. The result of applying
1NF to the field names in the UNF column will be a grouping of
9. related fields and a repetition of one or more keys.
· For example, you may find you will move all of the fields
designated with a parenthesis in the UNF column to the 1NF
column and then repeat the key in both columns. The key you
repeat will be considered the primary key in the UNF column
and the foreign key in the 1NF column. In an educational
scenario, you might retain the primary key “class ID” in the
UNF column; move all of the fields marked with a parenthesis
that have to do with classes to the 1NF column; and repeat the
“class ID” field in the 1NF column. This repetition allows you
to “match” the value of a primary key to the value of a foreign
key and relate the eventual data groups/entities/tables.
c. Apply the second normal form rule. 2NF states that any non-
key field must be dependent on the entire primary key.
Conceptually, this means that any non-key field must be able to
be located uniquely, based on concatenated or compound keys if
necessary. The result of applying 2NF to the field names in the
1NF column is typically groups split apart into smaller groups
with additional (and repeated) keys.
d. Identify sensible entity names for each group of fields. The
result of applying this last step to the groups of related field
names in the 3NF column is one entity name listed in the Entity
Name field for each group.
· For example, if the 3NF column contains groups of fields
related to customers, orders, and sales reps, sensible entity
names may be Customer, Order, and Sales Representative,
respectively. If the 3NF column contains groups of fields
related to students, classes, and teachers, sensible entity names
might be Student, Class, and Teacher. Because each entity will
eventually be implemented as a relational table, take a moment
at this point to double-check that each group in the 3NF form
that corresponds to an entity name (that is, each eventual table)
contains one primary key. If tables are related, they must have a
10. second foreign key that matches the primary key of the table(s)
to which they relate
