BIOMETRICS IN THE UNITED STATES 31
Methodology
Data Collection Technique
The study was conducted in two parts. The first part of the study was an intensive
literature review of the existing biometrics literature to learn what other researchers have
identified as impacts to biometrics acceptance. Additionally, the literature review identified
previous surveys that researchers had conducted and those surveys and their results were used to
develop the second part of the study.
The second part of the study was an anonymous online survey that was designed to
collect and analyze participants’ opinions of biometrics and their thoughts on acceptable uses of
the technology. The survey was created and administered using Google’s forms functionality on
Google Docs. The survey consisted of five demographic questions, 19 multiple choice
quantitative questions, and four fill-in-the-blank qualitative questions. The results of the survey
were compiled in Google Docs using their spreadsheet functionality. A copy of the survey
questions is included in this report as Appendix A.
The five demographic questions were multiple choice and designed to gather information
such as the age of the participant, level of education, gender, and experience with biometrics.
This data was used in the analysis to identify differences in opinions based on demographic
characteristics. Additionally, the demographic information was used to compare the sample
makeup to the overall population of the United States in order to validate the results of the
survey. The 19 quantitative questions were divided into five separate groups of questions
designed to gather data for different aspects of the study. Each question had five answers for the
participant to choose from. The first section consisted of four multiple choice questions
designed to measure the participants level of comfort with using biometrics technology in the
BIOMETRICS IN THE UNITED STATES 32
different situations in each question. The participants chose between the five answer options of
very comfortable, somewhat comfortable, unsure, somewhat uncomfortable, or very
uncomfortable. The second section consisted of five questions with the same options for the
participants to choose from as the first section. This section was designed to measure the
participants’ level of comfort with different biometric modalities. The third section consisted of
four questions designed to measure the participants’ acceptance with different uses of biometrics.
The participants chose between the five answer options of very acceptable, somewhat acceptable,
unsure, somewhat unacceptable, or very unacceptable. The fourth section consisted of four
questions with the same answer categories as the third section. This section was designed to
measure the participants’ level of acceptance with different implementations of biometrics
technologies. The fifth secti ...

Literature Review
The purpose of this report is to develop a literature review that analyses how research-based decision-making can directly affect organizational practices. In this regards, different aspects are being considered for analysis including the differences in qualitative and quantitative research methodologies and examining the advantages and disadvantages of primary as well as secondary sources of data. The entire discussion is then related to the Sun Coast’s case and how the articles in literature review solves Sun Coast’s issue.
Impact of Research-based Decision-making on the Organization
Many different researches have been made that show the positive impact of research and training on the decision making capabilities. In this regards, a study in the healthcare sector found that through training and research, there was an immediate conversion of attitudes in the workplace than on skills (Champagne et al., 2014).
One of the most popular studies in this field is the evidence- based practices. The idea behind this concept is to take quality decisions based on critical thinking and best available evidence (Barends et al., 2014). According to this practice, evidence is obtained from multiple sources in order to have a desired positive outcome. Evidence can take form of different size and shape and may and its quality depends on its relevance to the case (Barends et al., 2014).
Qualitative and Quantitative Research Methodologies
There are various types of research methodologies. However, these fall majorly into two categories; qualitative and quantitative. The qualitative research is more concerned with the information available in the form of emotions that may not be quantified. It involves gathering non-numerical data. Methods can include observation etc. Quantitative research is more concerned with the numerical data that can be easily quantified. For instance, conducting statistical analysis of the test results produce by Grade 1 students.
With regards to the case of Sun Coast, data is already available in the numeric form and therefore, the quantitative research methodologies shall be applied.
Primary and Secondary Sources of Data
Primary data is when the data is collected first hand, with direct interaction from the subjects or the target audience. This involves conducting questionnaires or interviews that provide information from the source directly. The major advantage of primary data is that new and updated information is available. However, the disadvantage is that collecting data through this source may take up a lot of time and even delays in the research. Furthermore, there are ethical concerns as well in the primary collection of data (Hox & R. Boeigi, 2005).
Secondary data is the use of already collected data by the previous researchers and using the relevant information in the current research ...

BNS301 National Security Ethics and Diversity
How far is it too far when protecting the peoples' rights in cyberspace and its national security? In an ever-evolving cyber world, many states tend to infringe on citizens' cyber information privacy for their own accord. Sometimes governments overstep boundaries and bend the rules to protect the land and overstep the peoples' privacy to enforce rules and regulations. My final paper will analyze rules and regulations within the Cybersecurity realm within the United States. The National Security Strategy is a good guideline on the laws and what the U.S is looking to implement soon. This paper intends not to make conspiracy theories to show facts and existing laws and regulations on how the citizens' privacy has no longer been protected and some examples of historical events. (Snowden) had an ethical dilemma when he made his decisions. My paper will include my opinions and the bullet points below to construct a good argument on how the U.S can protect its citizens' privacy.

1. The participants selected to participate in the research were students of Kean University where the researcher was based. Besides, sampling was voluntary since no student was coerced to participate. All of the students were given sufficient information concerning the aims of the study and then were requested to volunteer and be among the members who generate information about the influence of voting. Additionally, participants were assured of their confidentiality since the scholar chose not to use their real names during class presentations. As a result, the sample population had information on their data confidentiality. Moreover, the participant had the option of opting out of the research study any time they felt like and they could not be penalized since participation was voluntary. Besides, most of the participants were young people from the university. A first reading of the survey brings out some significant areas found in the survey. For instance, the survey indicates that the majority of the female students participated in the research than their male counterparts. Also, the majority of the students who participated in the study were from the schools of business and arts; however, some came from the school of humanities and social studies. In terms of age, the majority of the participants were between 18 and 25 years. Only, a few were more than 25 years and above. Besides, most of the participants agreed that social media is essential in obtaining and sharing information about a presidential candidate. However, participants followed their parents' influence on voting since the majority preferred a candidate that their parents endorsed. That could be the reason the majority of them did not prefer following the influence of their musicians or movie stars though they showed strong agreement that celebrities contribute to the presidential vote. Therefore, those were some of the notable areas within the first reading of the survey report.
2. Reading the Qualtrics Survey Report, I can immediately identify that targeted population are college students who have taken this course or are currently taking this course. Further reading, I can establish that 29 people are taking the survey out of the 30 asked. Out of the many significant results from the data, I can also see that 53% are female and the remaining 43% are male. The major age demographic for this study is 18-20 with 57% with 21-23 leading second with 20%. With such a young demographic, the question indicating the source of their political information was enough to tell me that 20% do not get their information from on line outlets and 50% do (30% inbetween). There is a lot more information that can be pulled and assessed from the questions asked.
3. From reading the report I can tell that these are Kean University students from 2016 and their ages range from 18-25. 53% are females and 47% are males. 38% are business majors, 41% are art majors, and 21% are humanities and s.

RESEARCH PROPOSAL 7
Why Does African American Mothers Use More Intense Disciplinary Practice Than African American Fathers?
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
i. Population and Sampling
The research is about African American parents and this means that the main population targeted by the study is the African American parents in the United States. According to U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts, (2019); by the end of 2017; the country had a total of 41.4million African Americans. With over 10million African American parents in the United States, some are single parents while others are married couples. It is evident that the United States is a vast country which makes it impossible to reach out to African American parents in different states. For this study, the research will target the one state recording the highest number of African American parents which is Texas which has a total of 3,269,253 or (32%) of the total state population.
The African Americans living in Texas are from different African countries and this means they have different backgrounds, beliefs, and attitudes towards children disciplinary and hence would help to understand the difference between a father and a mother disciplinary practice. The simple random sampling technique will be applied where African American parents in Texas will be randomly selected to take part in the research study. According to Omair, (2014); simple random sampling technique helps in eliminating biasness in a research because all eligible participants have equal opportunities.
For one to become a participant, he/she must provide reliable evidence that he/she if an African American for instance an identification card or passport. The participant must also prove that he/she lives within the targeted region. The research will target approximately 2000 participants where a 1000 will be mothers whether single or married and the other 1000 fathers both single and married. The selected participants will be taken through a screening process to determine whether they understand what parenting is all about focusing on the disciplinary aspect of parenting and also their details would be collected at this point. After the selection process is complete, the participants to be taken through a briefing process of what the research is all about, what is expected of them, and how the research findings would be used. All these briefing will take place in a research identified location that would be considered as the research center all through the process.
ii. Instrumentation
To obtain data, interviews research assessment tool will be applied. The assessment tool will help in measuring the variables of interest in the study. This is through asking questions and rephrasing it for the purpose of determining whether the response given in the initial question corresponds with the response in the second question. It is evident that since Texas is a vast state, some participants might be located far away. The asses ...

Haven Requirement & Sexual Assault Education Assessment Alexandra Kirchick
The purpose of this research was to evaluate whether or not the Cal Poly Dean of Students use of Haven, an online sexual assault learning module, is an effective tool to educate students on the topic of sexual assault. From our data, we discovered that while sexual assault is viewed as a true and serious threat in San Luis Obispo, very few respondents found value in the online course, Haven. Through both quantitative and qualitative research, the research team concluded that Cal Poly Dean of Student must find new ways to inform students about this topic. From our semi structured interviews, we gathered that students would be interested in choosing from a variety of classes to learn about sexual assault. Some suggestions for courses that could be provided include but are not limited to: a self defense class, an independent research project, and/or a group research project. By providing a number of ways to learn, it is likely that students will be more motivated by and interested in sexual assault.

John and Mary Smith met in college and married soon after graduation. They were lucky enough to find good jobs in the same area, bought a condo and settled into a comfortable life.
Eventually, John and Mary decided to start a family. They heard about DNA testing: a new family planning procedure using DNA samples to screen for possible genetic differences that could affect their child's health and development. This sounded like a wise precaution, and they ordered the tests. When the results came back, John and Mary were relieved to learn that they each had a clean bill of health as far as their future children were concerned. There was one personal glitch, however: the test revealed that John had the "infidelity gene"….
Mary had never heard of an infidelity gene. In fact, Mary wasn't entirel ...

(a) Thrasymachus’ (the sophist’s) definition of Justice or Right or Right Doing/Living is “The Interest of the Stronger (Might makes Right).” How does Socrates refute this definition? (cite just
one
of his arguments) [cf:
The Republic
, 30-40, Unit 1 Lecture Video]
(b) According to Socrates, what is the true definition of Justice or Right? [cf:
The Republic

(c) And why therefore is the Just life far preferable to the Unjust life (142-43)?
(a) The Allegory of the CAVE (the main metaphor of western philosophy) is an illustration of the Divided LINE.
Characterize
the Two Worlds, and the move/ascent from one to the other (exiting the CAVE, crossing the Divided LINE)—which is alone the true meaning of Education and the only way to become Just, Right, and Immortal. [cf:

1. The participants selected to participate in the research were students of Kean University where the researcher was based. Besides, sampling was voluntary since no student was coerced to participate. All of the students were given sufficient information concerning the aims of the study and then were requested to volunteer and be among the members who generate information about the influence of voting. Additionally, participants were assured of their confidentiality since the scholar chose not to use their real names during class presentations. As a result, the sample population had information on their data confidentiality. Moreover, the participant had the option of opting out of the research study any time they felt like and they could not be penalized since participation was voluntary. Besides, most of the participants were young people from the university. A first reading of the survey brings out some significant areas found in the survey. For instance, the survey indicates that the majority of the female students participated in the research than their male counterparts. Also, the majority of the students who participated in the study were from the schools of business and arts; however, some came from the school of humanities and social studies. In terms of age, the majority of the participants were between 18 and 25 years. Only, a few were more than 25 years and above. Besides, most of the participants agreed that social media is essential in obtaining and sharing information about a presidential candidate. However, participants followed their parents' influence on voting since the majority preferred a candidate that their parents endorsed. That could be the reason the majority of them did not prefer following the influence of their musicians or movie stars though they showed strong agreement that celebrities contribute to the presidential vote. Therefore, those were some of the notable areas within the first reading of the survey report.
2. Reading the Qualtrics Survey Report, I can immediately identify that targeted population are college students who have taken this course or are currently taking this course. Further reading, I can establish that 29 people are taking the survey out of the 30 asked. Out of the many significant results from the data, I can also see that 53% are female and the remaining 43% are male. The major age demographic for this study is 18-20 with 57% with 21-23 leading second with 20%. With such a young demographic, the question indicating the source of their political information was enough to tell me that 20% do not get their information from on line outlets and 50% do (30% inbetween). There is a lot more information that can be pulled and assessed from the questions asked.
3. From reading the report I can tell that these are Kean University students from 2016 and their ages range from 18-25. 53% are females and 47% are males. 38% are business majors, 41% are art majors, and 21% are humanities and s.

RESEARCH PROPOSAL 7
Why Does African American Mothers Use More Intense Disciplinary Practice Than African American Fathers?
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
i. Population and Sampling
The research is about African American parents and this means that the main population targeted by the study is the African American parents in the United States. According to U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts, (2019); by the end of 2017; the country had a total of 41.4million African Americans. With over 10million African American parents in the United States, some are single parents while others are married couples. It is evident that the United States is a vast country which makes it impossible to reach out to African American parents in different states. For this study, the research will target the one state recording the highest number of African American parents which is Texas which has a total of 3,269,253 or (32%) of the total state population.
The African Americans living in Texas are from different African countries and this means they have different backgrounds, beliefs, and attitudes towards children disciplinary and hence would help to understand the difference between a father and a mother disciplinary practice. The simple random sampling technique will be applied where African American parents in Texas will be randomly selected to take part in the research study. According to Omair, (2014); simple random sampling technique helps in eliminating biasness in a research because all eligible participants have equal opportunities.
For one to become a participant, he/she must provide reliable evidence that he/she if an African American for instance an identification card or passport. The participant must also prove that he/she lives within the targeted region. The research will target approximately 2000 participants where a 1000 will be mothers whether single or married and the other 1000 fathers both single and married. The selected participants will be taken through a screening process to determine whether they understand what parenting is all about focusing on the disciplinary aspect of parenting and also their details would be collected at this point. After the selection process is complete, the participants to be taken through a briefing process of what the research is all about, what is expected of them, and how the research findings would be used. All these briefing will take place in a research identified location that would be considered as the research center all through the process.
ii. Instrumentation
To obtain data, interviews research assessment tool will be applied. The assessment tool will help in measuring the variables of interest in the study. This is through asking questions and rephrasing it for the purpose of determining whether the response given in the initial question corresponds with the response in the second question. It is evident that since Texas is a vast state, some participants might be located far away. The asses ...

Haven Requirement & Sexual Assault Education Assessment Alexandra Kirchick
The purpose of this research was to evaluate whether or not the Cal Poly Dean of Students use of Haven, an online sexual assault learning module, is an effective tool to educate students on the topic of sexual assault. From our data, we discovered that while sexual assault is viewed as a true and serious threat in San Luis Obispo, very few respondents found value in the online course, Haven. Through both quantitative and qualitative research, the research team concluded that Cal Poly Dean of Student must find new ways to inform students about this topic. From our semi structured interviews, we gathered that students would be interested in choosing from a variety of classes to learn about sexual assault. Some suggestions for courses that could be provided include but are not limited to: a self defense class, an independent research project, and/or a group research project. By providing a number of ways to learn, it is likely that students will be more motivated by and interested in sexual assault.

John and Mary Smith met in college and married soon after graduation. They were lucky enough to find good jobs in the same area, bought a condo and settled into a comfortable life.
Eventually, John and Mary decided to start a family. They heard about DNA testing: a new family planning procedure using DNA samples to screen for possible genetic differences that could affect their child's health and development. This sounded like a wise precaution, and they ordered the tests. When the results came back, John and Mary were relieved to learn that they each had a clean bill of health as far as their future children were concerned. There was one personal glitch, however: the test revealed that John had the "infidelity gene"….
Mary had never heard of an infidelity gene. In fact, Mary wasn't entirel ...

(Glossary of Telemedicine and eHealth)· Teleconsultation Cons.docxAASTHA76
(Glossary of Telemedicine and eHealth)
· Teleconsultation: Consultation between a provider and specialist at distance using either store and forward telemedicine or real time videoconferencing.
· Telehealth and Telemedicine: Telemedicine is the use of medical information exchanged from one site to another via electronic communications to improve patients' health status. Closely associated with telemedicine is the term "telehealth," which is often used to encompass a broader definition of remote healthcare that does not always involve clinical services. Videoconferencing, transmission of still images, e-health including patient portals, remote monitoring of vital signs, continuing medical education and nursing call centers are all considered part of telemedicine and telehealth. Telemedicine is not a separate medical specialty. Products and services related to telemedicine are often part of a larger investment by health care institutions in either information technology or the delivery of clinical care. Even in the reimbursement fee structure, there is usually no distinction made between services provided on site and those provided through telemedicine and often no separate coding required for billing of remote services. Telemedicine encompasses different types of programs and services provided for the patient. Each component involves different providers and consumers.
· TeleICU: TeleICU is a collaborative, interprofessional model focusing on the care of critically ill patients using telehealth technologies.
· Telemonitoring: The process of using audio, video, and other telecommunications and electronic information processing technologies to monitor the health status of a patient from a distance.
· Telemonitoring: The process of using audio, video, and other telecommunications and electronic information processing technologies to monitor the health status of a patient from a distance.
· Clinical Decision Support System (CCDS): Systems (usually electronically based and interactive) that provide clinicians, staff, patients, and other individuals with knowledge and person-specific information, intelligently filtered and presented at appropriate times, to enhance health and health care. (http://healthit.ahrq.gov/images/jun09cdsreview/09_0069_ef.html)
· e-Prescribing: The electronic generation, transmission and filling of a medical prescription, as opposed to traditional paper and faxed prescriptions. E-prescribing allows for qualified healthcare personnel to transmit a new prescription or renewal authorization to a community or mail-order pharmacy.
· Home Health Care and Remote Monitoring Systems: Care provided to individuals and families in their place of residence for promoting, maintaining, or restoring health or for minimizing the effects of disability and illness, including terminal illness. In the Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey and Medicare claims and enrollment data, home health care refers to home visits by professionals including nu.

(Assmt 1; Week 3 paper): Using ecree Doing the paper and submitting it (two pages here)
Have this sheet handy as well as the sheet called FORMAT SAMPLE PAPER for Assignment 1.
1. Go to the Week 3 unit and find the blue link ASSIGNMENT 1: DEALING WITH DIVERSITY…. Click on it.
2. You will see instructions on the screen and at the top “Assignment 1: ecree”. Click on that to enter ecree.
3. You will see some summary of the assignment instructions at the top of the screen—scroll down to see the three long, blank, rectangular boxes. You will be typing into those. Remember—do not worry about a title page or double spacing. Start composing your paragraphs. It will start as a rough draft.
4. As you start typing your introduction—notice on the right that comments start developing and also video links. Also on the right you will it say “Saved a Few seconds ago”. It is saving as you go. At first the comments are red (unfavorable). The more you do, usually the more green (favorable) comments start to appear. You can also keep revising.
5. When you hit the enter key it takes you to the next paragraph box—and sometimes it creates a new paragraph box for you.
6. Doing your Sources list in ecree—Your sources do have to be listed at the end. The FORMAT SAMPLE paper illustrates what they might look like. But, putting them in ecree gracefully can be a challenge.
a. Perhaps the best way is this: Have the last regular paragraph of your essay (Part 4) be in the box labeled “Conclusion”. Once that paragraph is written—in whole or in part, do this: Click on the word “Conclusion” to form a following paragraph box marked by three dots. Keep doing that and put each source in its own “three-dot” box. In other words, after your Conclusion paragraph—the heading “Sources” gets its own paragraph box at the end, followed by separate paragraph boxes for each source entry.
b. If the approach labeled “a” above is not working out, don’t worry about the external labels of those last paragraph boxes---just be sure to have a concluding paragraph (your Part 4) followed by paragraphs for the Sources header and each source entry. In grading, I will be able to figure it out. I will be lenient on how you organize that last part, as long as you have that last paragraph and a clear Sources list.
------------------------------------
UPLOAD OPTION: You can type your paper or a good rough draft of it into MS-Word as a file. Have it organized and laid out like the FORMAT SAMPLE paper. Then Upload it to ecree. Once you upload, take a little time and edit what uploaded so that it looks like what you intended and fits the 4-part organization of the assignment.
-----------------------
7. Click “Submit” on lower right only when absolutely ready. Once you submit, it will get graded.
Have fun! (see next page for a few notes and comments on ecree)

Introduction
Explore the cultural and intercultural communication dimensions of place, space and location. We will examine:
The dynamic process of placing and displacing cultural space in the context of globalization.
How people use communicative practices to construct, maintain, negotiate, and hybridize cultural spaces
How segregated, contested, and hybrid cultural spaces are both shaped by the legacy of colonialism and the context of globalization.
How Hip hop culture illustrates the cultural and intercultural dimensions of place, space, and location in the context of globalization
+
Placing Culture and Cultural Space
Culture, by definition, is rooted in place with a reciprocal relationship between people and place
Culture:
“Place tilled” in Middle English
Colere : “to inhabit, care for, till, worship” in Latin
In the context of globalization, what is the relationship between culture and place?
Culture is both placed and displaced
+
Cultural Space
The communicative practices that construct meanings in, through and about particular places
Cultural space shapes verbal and nonverbal communicative practices
i.e. Classrooms, dance club, library.
Cultural spaces are constructed through the communicative practices developed and lived by people in particular places
Communicative practices include:
The languages, accents, slang, dress, artifacts, architectural design, the behaviors and patterns of interaction, the stories, the discourses and histories
How is the cultural space of your home, neighborhood, city, and state constructed through communicative practices?
+
Place, Cultural Space and Identity
Place, Culture, Identity and Difference
What’s the relationship between place and identity?
Avowed identity:
The way we see, label and make meaning about ourselves and
Ascribed identity:
The way others view, name and describe us and our group
Examples of how avowed and ascribed identities may conflict?
How is place related to standpoint and power?
Locations of enunciation:
Sites or positions from which to speak.
A platform from which to voice a perspective and be heard and/or silenced.

Displacing Culture and Cultural Space
(Dis) placed culture and cultural space:
A notion that captures the complex, contradictory and contested nature of cultural space and the relationship between culture and place that has emerged in the context o.

From Social Class and the Hidden Curriculum of Work
JEAN ANYON
It's no surprise that schools in wealthy communities are better than those in poor communities, or that they better prepare their students for
desirable jobs. It may be shocking, however, to learn how vast the differences in schools are - not so much in resources as in teaching methods
and philosophies of education. Jean Anyon observed five elementary schools over the course of a full school year and concluded that fifth-
graders of different economic backgrounds are already being prepared to occupy particular rungs on the social ladder. In a sense, some whole
schools are on the vocational education track, while others are geared to produce future doctors, lawyers, and business leaders. Anyon's main
audience is professional educators, so you may find her style and vocabulary challenging, but, once you've read her descriptions of specific
classroom activities, the more analytic parts of the essay should prove easier to understand. Anyon is chairperson of the Department of
Education at Rutgers University, Newark; This essay first appeared in Journal of Education in 1980.
Scholars in political economy and the sociology of knowledge have recently argued that public schools in complex industrial societies like our
own make available different types of educational experience and curriculum knowledge to students in different social classes. Bowles and
Gintis1 for example, have argued that students in different social-class backgrounds are rewarded for classroom behaviors that correspond to
personality traits allegedly rewarded in the different occupational strata--the working classes for docility and obedience, the managerial classes
for initiative and personal assertiveness. Basil Bernstein, Pierre Bourdieu, and Michael W. Apple focusing on school knowledge, have argued
that knowledge and skills leading to social power and regard (medical, legal, managerial) are made available to the advantaged social groups but
are withheld from the working classes to whom a more "practical" curriculum is offered (manual skills, clerical knowledge). While there has
been considerable argumentation of these points regarding education in England, France, and North America, there has been little or no attempt
to investigate these ideas empirically in elementary or secondary schools and classrooms in this country.3
This article offers tentative empirical support (and qualification) of the above arguments by providing illustrative examples of differences in
student work in classrooms in contrasting social class communities. The examples were gathered as part of an ethnographical4 study of
curricular, pedagogical, and pupil evaluation practices in five elementary schools. The article attempts a theoretical contribution as well and
assesses student work in the light of a theoretical approach to social-class analysis.. . It will be suggested that there is a "hidden.

Nonprofit Photography: Ethics
and Approaches
Best practices and tips on ethics and approaches in
humanitarian photography for social impact.
The first moon landing. The Vietnamese ‘napalm girl’, running naked and in agony. The World
Trade Centers falling.
As we know, photography carries the power to inspire, educate, horrify and compel its viewers to
take action. Images evoke strong and often public emotions, as people frequently formulate their
opinions, judgments and behaviors in response to visual stimuli. Because of this, photography
can wield substantial control over public perception and discourse.
Moreover, photography in our digital age permits us to deliver complex information about
remote conditions which can be rapidly distributed and effortlessly processed by the viewer.
Recently, we’ve witnessed the profound impact of photography coupled with social media:
together, they have fueled political movements and brought down a corrupt government.
Photography can - and has - changed the course of history.
Ethical Considerations
Those who commission and create photography of marginalized populations to further an
organizations’ mission possess a tremendous responsibility. Careful ethical consideration should
be given to all aspects of the photography supply chain: its planning, creation, and distribution.
When planning a photography campaign, it is important to examine the motives for creating
particular images and their potential impact. Not only must a faithful, comprehensive visual
depiction of the subjects be created to avoid causing misconception, but more importantly, the
subjects’ dignity must be preserved. Words and images that elicit an emotional response by their
sheer shock value (e.g. starving, skeletal children covered in flies) are harmful because they
exploit the subjects’ condition in order to generate sympathy for increasing charitable donations
or support for a given cause. In addition to violating privacy and human rights, this so-called
'poverty porn’ is harmful to those it is trying to aid because it evokes the idea that the
marginalized are helpless and incapable of helping themselves, thereby cultivating a culture of
paternalism. Poverty porn is also detrimental because it is degrading, dishonoring and robs
people of their dignity. While it is important to illustrate the challenges of a population, one must
always strive to tell stories in a way that honors the subjects’ circumstances, and (ideally)
illustrates hope for their plight.
Legal issues
Legal issues are more clear cut when images are created or used in stable countries where legal
precedent for photography use has been established. Image use and creation becomes far more
murky and problematic in countries in which law and order is vague or even nonexistent.
Even though images created for no.

10 Event Trends for 2019
I am very glad to welcome you to the 8th edition of our annual
event trends. This is going to be a different one.
One element that made our event trends stand out from
the thousands of reports and articles on the topic is that we
don’t care about pleasing companies, pundits, suppliers, star
planners and the likes. Our only focus is you, the reader, to
help you navigate through very uncertain times.
This is why I decided to bring back this report, by far the most
popular in the industry, to its roots. 10 trends that will actually
materialize between now and November 2019, when we will
publish edition number nine.
I feel you have a lot going on, with your events I mean.
F&B, room blocks, sponsorship, marketing security, technology.
I think I failed you in previous editions. I think I gave you too
much. This report will be the most concise and strategic piece
of content you will need for next year.
If you don’t read anything else this year, it’s fine. As long as you
read the next few words.

// Function: void parse(char *line, char **argv)
// Purpose : This function takes in a null terminated string pointed to by

// When the function returns, the string pointed to by the
// pointer <line> has ALL of its whitespace characters (space,
// tab, and newline) turned into null characters ('\0'). The
// array of pointers to chars will be modified so that the zeroth
// slot will point to the first non-null character in the string
// pointed to by <line>, the oneth slot will point to the second
// non-null character in the string pointed to by <line>, and so
// on. In other words, each subsequent pointer in argv will point
// to each subsequent "token" (characters separated by white space)
// IN the block of memory stored at the pointer <line>. Since all
// the white space is replaced by '\0', every one of these "tokens"
// pointed to by subsequent entires of argv will be a valid string
// The "last" entry in the argv array will be set to NULL. This
// will mark the end of the tokens in the string.
//
void parse(char *line, char **argv)
{
// We will assume that the input string is NULL terminated. If it
// is not, this code WILL break. The rewriting of whitespace characters
// and the updating of pointers in argv are interleaved. Basically
// we do a while loop that will go until we run out of characters in
// the string (the outer while loop that goes until '\0'). Inside
// that loop, we interleave between rewriting white space (space, tab,
// and newline) with nulls ('\0') AND just skipping over non-whitespace.
// Note that whenever we encounter a non-whitespace character, we record
// that address in the array of address at argv and increment it. When
// we run out of tokens in the string, we make the last entry in the array
// at argv NULL. This marks the end of pointers to tokens. Easy, right?
while (*line != '\0') // outer loop. keep going until the whole string is read
{ // keep moving forward the pointer into the input string until
// we encounter a non-whitespace character. While we're at it,
// turn all those whitespace characters we're seeing into null chars.
while (*line == ' ' || *line == '\t' || *line == '\n' || *line == '\r')
{ *line = '\0';
line++;
}
// If I got this far, I MUST be looking at a non-whitespace character,
// or, the beginning of a token. So, let's record the address of this
// beginning of token to the address I'm pointing at now. (Put it in *argv)

Report of Independent Auditors
To the Executive Board of the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the National Council of the Boy Scouts
of America and its affiliates (the National Council), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position
as of December 31, 2016, and the related consolidated statements of revenues, expenses, and other changes in net
assets, of functional expenses and of cash flows for the year then ended.
Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the
design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of
consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We
conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of
the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making
those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the National Council’s preparation and fair
presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the National Council’s
internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial sta.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

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.

1. BIOMETRICS IN THE UNITED STATES 31
Methodology
Data Collection Technique
The study was conducted in two parts. The first part of the
study was an intensive
literature review of the existing biometrics literature to learn
what other researchers have
identified as impacts to biometrics acceptance. Additionally,
the literature review identified
previous surveys that researchers had conducted and those
surveys and their results were used to
develop the second part of the study.
The second part of the study was an anonymous online survey
that was designed to
collect and analyze participants’ opinions of biometrics and
their thoughts on acceptable uses of
the technology. The survey was created and administered using
Google’s forms functionality on
Google Docs. The survey consisted of five demographic
questions, 19 multiple choice
2. quantitative questions, and four fill-in-the-blank qualitative
questions. The results of the survey
were compiled in Google Docs using their spreadsheet
functionality. A copy of the survey
questions is included in this report as Appendix A.
The five demographic questions were multiple choice and
designed to gather information
such as the age of the participant, level of education, gender,
and experience with biometrics.
This data was used in the analysis to identify differences in
opinions based on demographic
characteristics. Additionally, the demographic information was
used to compare the sample
makeup to the overall population of the United States in order
to validate the results of the
survey. The 19 quantitative questions were divided into five
separate groups of questions
designed to gather data for different aspects of the study. Each
question had five answers for the
participant to choose from. The first section consisted of four
multiple choice questions
designed to measure the participants level of comfort with using
biometrics technology in the
3. BIOMETRICS IN THE UNITED STATES 32
different situations in each question. The participants chose
between the five answer options of
very comfortable, somewhat comfortable, unsure, somewhat
uncomfortable, or very
uncomfortable. The second section consisted of five questions
with the same options for the
participants to choose from as the first section. This section
was designed to measure the
participants’ level of comfort with different biometric
modalities. The third section consisted of
four questions designed to measure the participants’ acceptance
with different uses of biometrics.
The participants chose between the five answer options of very
acceptable, somewhat acceptable,
unsure, somewhat unacceptable, or very unacceptable. The
fourth section consisted of four
questions with the same answer categories as the third section.
This section was designed to
measure the participants’ level of acceptance with different
implementations of biometrics
technologies. The fifth section consisted of two questions
designed to capture the participants
4. overall opinion of biometrics and their roles in security and
convenience. To answer these
questions, the participants chose between the answer options of
very significantly, somewhat
significantly, unsure, very little, or none.
The four qualitative questions were designed to gather any
suggestions that the
participants had without being constrained by the limit or
format of the multiple choice options
of the quantitative design. Additionally, they were designed to
capture the general attitude and
opinion of the participants in their own words. The first
narrative question aimed to identify
locations where biometrics would be beneficial. The second
question was designed to identify
instances and situations where biometrics were needed for a
specific purpose. The third question
aimed to identify specific criteria that needed to be met in order
to use biometrics technology in
an acceptable manner. The fourth question was designed to
gather criteria for the unacceptable
BIOMETRICS IN THE UNITED STATES 33
5. use of biometrics and identify when biometrics collection would
be objectionable to the survey
participants.
Subjects and Setting
The survey participants were solicited from a small population
of people known by the
author and the faculty advisor. Participation was solicited
through the use of notifications on the
social networking site, Facebook, and emails sent to faculty and
students of American Military
University as well as co-workers, friends, and family of the
author. The notifications and emails
explained the purpose of the survey, requested their
participation, and provided the link to the
online survey. There were no identification numbers assigned
to the survey links and no way of
identifying who participated in the survey as it was completely
anonymous with the exception of
the demographic information which had little to no identifying
information.
The solicitation on Facebook was conducted as a status
message with a request for the
author’s “Facebook friends” to complete the survey with a link
to the survey location. Of the
6. almost 300 acquaintances on Facebook, it is expected there was
a five to ten percent participation
rate in the survey. The 300 individuals ranged from over 18
years old to over 80 years old, in a
variety of occupations, with varying levels of education, and
geographically located all over the
United States. The author’s co-workers are all employed by the
United States Coast Guard,
located in Washington, D.C., between the ages of 25 years old
and 60 years old, and most have
at least a Bachelor’s degree. There were less than 30 co-
workers that were asked to participate in
the survey. The students and faculty of American Military
University were all well-educated
with all of them having at least a Bachelor’s degree.
Additionally, they were all over 24 years
old, employed in many different occupations, and
geographically located all over the United
States.
BIOMETRICS IN THE UNITED STATES 34
Statistical Analysis
7. For the quantitative portion of the study, each question had five
choices of answers. Each
of those answers was converted to a value between one and five.
Additionally, each of the
questions was assigned a question number for easier charting
and analysis. Then, the results of
the survey were placed into an Excel spreadsheet where they
were studied and analyzed. First,
the average of each question was calculated. Then, the standard
deviation and variance were
calculated. Once those values were calculated for the entire
population, the spreadsheet was
used to filter the results by demographic characteristics and the
same calculations were
conducted for the different characteristics. Those results were
compiled and placed in tables
where they were subsequently graphed. The researcher
compared the results in each category
against the overall average and against the other categories to
develop assumptions about the
demographic subsets. Additionally, the researcher considered
the number of participants from
each category when considering the significance of each
subset’s average. If the category had a
8. small number of participants, its results were not given the same
regard as a category with many
participants because the average of the smaller category could
be more greatly impacted by the
answers of one or two participants. This would not lead to a
fair and accurate categorization for
those demographic subsets.
Limitations of the Study
The study was limited by the amount of time available to
complete it and the number of
participants that completed the online survey. As the study was
conducted in order to complete a
thesis to fulfill a requirement for a Master’s degree program,
the author was constrained by the
amount of time available in the course and in order to complete
the study in time, the author used
BIOMETRICS IN THE UNITED STATES 35
a small population of participants that would respond quickly.
For this study, the survey was
open for two weeks and had 69 participants complete the
questionnaire.
Another limitation in the survey was the potential lack of
9. diversity in the participants and
the disparity with the larger population of the United States of
America. The participants of the
study were predominately male with only 33% of the
participants being female. According to a
2012 census study, almost 51% of the population of the United
States was female (United States
Census Bureau, n.d.c). Additionally, an overwhelming number
of the participants in the study
had obtained a higher level of education than the national
average. Forty-one percent of the
participants had obtained a Master’s degree and 20% of the
participants had obtained a Doctorate
degree while the national average in the United States was that
8.41% of the population had
obtained a Master’s degree and 1.68% had obtained a doctorate.
Additionally, 35% of the survey
participants had obtained a Bachelor’s degree which was higher
than the national average of
20.09% (United States Census Bureau, n.d.b.). Another
disparity between the survey sample and
the population of the United States was the number of military
members that participated.
Almost 28% of the participants in the survey were military
10. which was much higher than the
national average of less than 1% of the population (National
Public Radio, 2011). Also, the age
dispersion of the survey participants was not as varied as the
population of the United States.
There were over three times the percentage of 25-34 year olds
represented in the survey than in
the population of the United States. People between the ages of
25 and 34 comprise 13.4% of
the population of the United States. However, they made up
43% of the participants for the
survey. Similarly, 28% of the survey participants were between
the ages of 35 and 44 years old,
but only 12.9% of the population of the United States are in that
age range. The percentage of
survey participants between the ages of 45 and 64 years old was
very close to the percentage of
BIOMETRICS IN THE UNITED STATES 36
the United States population with 23% of survey participants
and 26.5% of the U.S. population
falling in that range. Survey participants 65 years old and older
were underrepresented in the
11. survey with only 6% of the participants falling in that age range
when the national average is
13.4% of the population is 65 or older (United States Census
Bureau, n.d.a). These limitations
can be attributed to the sample populations chosen for the
survey and the method used to gather
data. Because the survey participants were solicited using
online social media to reach out to
acquaintances of the author and emails were used to reach out to
co-workers of the author and
students and employees of the American Military University,
there was not much diversity
present in the participants.
