Create a diagram using a diagramming tool AND provide a written text-based document explaining your relationship mapping (systems analysis use case document). Requirements: You will work with book/music/media information, user information, ratings of books, and users’ social network Each book has an id, title, publication date, publisher, ISBN, functional category, page count, price (publisher), and product description There are 3 categories of book: fiction, non-fiction, and specialty There are 2 categories of music: digital and media-based An author can write one or more books. A musician can be a solo artist, part of a group, or both An author can also be associated with one or more publishers. A musician/group/act can be associated with one or more record labels (consider this a possible type of publisher) An author’s book can have one or more editions. A song and or album can have more than one version/edition (i.e. EP, LP, CD, DVD etc) A publisher can have many authors and many books. A record company can have many artists associated and many albums associated with it. A record company can also be the publishing company (i.e. self-publishing - i.e. think Amazon) Many ISBNs can also be associated with a given publisher but only one ISBN per form of medium (i.e. the ISBN is the PK no matter what). An author can write many books. An artist can write many songs, albums etc. UCOnline needs to keep track of user ratings for each item sold in the online store (e.g., 1-5 and 1 for ‘Dislike’, to 5, for ‘Awesome!’). A particular user rates a particular item at a given time. A user CANNOT rate the same item multiple times unless there are multiple editions of the item. Each edition can be rated separately. Each user who submits a rating will be identified by a unique id and has a name, gender, age, and location. Nothing is anonymous. .

The goal of the projects throughout this semester is to implement .docx
The goal of the projects throughout this semester is to implement a “prototype” database system application for an eCommerce social-network system called UCOnline where users can explore information about books/music/software, rate your purchase, identify purchase price and see ratings of their friends.
The project will require your teams (see attached for group member breakout) to complete the assignment. Below you will find the ERD deliverable requirements. Each assignment has a specific grading rubric (scheme) associated with the assignment.
BUSINESS REQUIREMENTS ACROSS ALL ASSIGNMENTS
· You will work with book/music/media information, user information, ratings of books, and users’ social network
· Each book has an id, title, publication date, publisher, ISBN, functional category, page count, price (publisher), and product description
· There are 3 categories of book: fiction, non-fiction, and specialty
· There are 2 categories of music: digital and media-based
· An author can write one or more books.
· A musician can be a solo artist, part of a group, or both
· An author can also be associated with one or more publishers.
· A musician/group/act can be associated with one or more music houses
· An author’s book can have one or more editions.
· A song and or album can have more than one version/edition (i.e. EP, LP, CD, DVD etc)
· A publisher can have many authors and many books.

· A user CANNOT rate the same multiple times unless there are multiple editions of the item. Each edition can be rated separately.
· Each user who submits a rating will be identified by a unique id and has a name, gender, age, and location. Nothing is anonymous.
There is also a social network between users. Users can send communication requests (i.e. instant messages/emails) to other users. Such requests can be accepted or ignored. Once accepted, the two users are considered ‘book buddies.’ If ignored, the user can send the request again. We want to add a store when the requests were sent (timestamp), the result of the requests and when the request was answered (timestamp).

The purpose of this assignment is to use content analysis to critically analyze how one social issue/problem is discussed and represented in popular culture through music lyrics.
BACKGROUND:
There are many agents of popular culture though which the messages, themes and symbols of popular culture are produced and consumed. Media is a key agent of popular culture, and within it music is one mode for the production and consumption of popular culture. The music of the 1960s marked a key period of transition in the United States as themes of social problems and dissidence started to fill the radio waves. This assignment will allow you to explore one social issue or problem in music today.
Option 1 Instructions:
1) Choose one social issue or social problem (i.e. drugs, the environment, war, teenage pregnancy, hate crimes, etc.).
2) Find at least 5 songs with lyrics that address your chosen social issue/problem. You will need to cite these songs using proper APA formatting (see below).
3) Analyze the songs for similarities and differences in how they address the social issue/problem. You may:
- look for themes within and among the songs (i.e. songs about war that talk about ‘ending war’
- consider the year the songs were copyrighted
- consider the genre the song fits in
- is the song directed at a particular audience? (think socio-demographic characteristics: age, race/ethnicity, gender, socio-economic status (SES), and sexuality)
- what type of vocabulary, words, grammar, euphemisms, vernacular is used for the lyrics?
- Consider the actual production of the song as well: tempo, emotion, male/female singer, individual singer/band, etc.
4) Find at least two sources that address music and your social problem (i.e. the sources are providing similar analysis or commentary on how your social problem is addressed through music). These may be popular sources (i.e. magazine articles or websites), but Wikipedia is not acceptable.
5) Find at least one peer-reviewed article (see attached Finding Peer Reviewed Journals guidelines) that discusses your social issue problem and how it is portrayed by the media (ideally this would be focused on your social issue and problem, but this may be difficult to find – so an article on TV, radio, internet, movies is OK).
6) Write-up your paper
a) Cover Page
b) Clearly identify your chosen social issue/problem.
a. Why are you interested in studying this?
c) Write-up your analysis of how this social issue/problem is addressed in the 5 songs you chose

NOTE:
this is the majority of your paper. It is a ‘comparative critical’ analysis of how your chosen social issue/problem is addressed in these songs. It is NOT a summary of each song, and it should not include cutting and pasting the lyrics of all of the songs into the paper.

Create a PowerPoint presentation on a key diversity issue, with at least 12 slides incorporating research and data.
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria
Competency 1: Describe theoretical ideas of power in relation to policy.
Discuss how sociological theory can be used to understand disparities in political power.
Competency 2: Identify historical and contemporary influences of discrimination in U. S. culture.
Discuss tactics employed by political players to promote a cause.
Describe the evolution of the social movements that have emerged as a result of a diversity issue.
Competency 3: Analyze the effects of social policy using aggregated data.
Address potential audience questions using supporting data and research.
Competency 4: Analyze how laws are applied or created based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, and social class.
Analyze the evolution of anti-discrimination law to give context to current law or policy.
Competency 6: Apply in text the standard writing conventions for the discipline, including structure, voice, person, tone, and citation formatting.
Write coherently to support a central idea in appropriate format and with few errors of grammar, usage, and mechanics.
Many of the current political, legal, and social debates in U.S. society center around diversity and its related issues. These debates, such as debates about the legality or morality of same-sex marriage or immigration policy, involve not only arguments regarding discriminatory treatment of particular ethnic groups or sexual minorities but also legal, economic, and religious questions and concerns.
SHOW LESS
Applying the sociological perspective to these debates is useful, because it requires researching these diverse perspectives and placing them in historical and contemporary contexts to gain a deeper understanding of the causes and consequences of the debate and current and proposed policy solutions. This also puts us in a position in which we can more accurately evaluate and critique the merits of comments made and policies suggested by politicians, leaders, and others with a stake in these debates.
As you prepare to complete this assessment, you may want to think about other related issues to deepen your understanding or broaden your viewpoint. You are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community. Note that these questions are for your own development and exploration and do not need to be completed or submitted as part of your assessment.
SHOW LESS
How and why has U.S. immigration policy changed since the mid-20th century? What are the similarities and differences between current immigrant groups and patterns of immigration compared to historical trends.

Create a PowerPoint presentation of 14-16 slides with speaking notes.docx
Create a PowerPoint presentation of 14-16 slides with speaking notes on the new regulations impacting the practice as a result of the Affordable Care Act.
Introduction
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA or ACA) was signed into law by President Barack Obama in 2010. The ACA attempts to increase access to care, reduce cost, and improve quality. Nearly 50 different reform initiatives were implemented between 2010 and 2017. Although primary care is a major focus of the act, these additional initiatives are focused on 10 different areas, including public health, prevention of disease, community health, and increasing revenue provisions to pay for the reform (Niles, 2021). The law has been controversial due to the mandate that all Americans must purchase health insurance.
The U.S. government plays a significant role in the operation of the country's health care system. Quality, access, funding, education, and preventative services are all influenced by the U.S. government (Niles, 2021), and the Affordable Care Act (ACA) has further increased the role and involvement of the government in health care. All health care administrators must be knowledgeable on the role of the government.
Numerous governmental organizations exist, such as the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Office of the Surgeon General to name a few. Each organization exists for a specific purpose and has a specific mission. Your role as an administrator will be to understand the scope of these agencies and to help your organization meet or exceed the governmental mandates imposed by each.

Yes, at home especially while doing homework. Yes, I was able to solve them. The main problem was finding the perfect place for the network to reach every device without it going out. So all I had to do was move it to a neutral spot for me so since my room was always upstairs I just moved everything upstairs. And now nothing goes out unless it’s a power outage or someone just unplugs it.
· Identify hardware and software tools that will help you with common network connectivity problems. How do you utilize the tool(s) to help resolve the issue?
Nslookup, Ipconfig/ifconfig, Connectivity Software, etc. First always figure out what the problem is so we can know to put the tools to use, second once you know what the problem is we can put the tools to use.

I have experienced network issues in my home, we used to have DSL internet which goes over phone lines. We also had a house phone. They gave us filters to use for the house phones so that the internet traffic would not interfere with the voice communications on the phone. We accidentally plugged in the filters inline with the computers and were not able to get much network traffic at all. This drove us crazy for weeks, trying to figure out what was wrong. Remember to always start with the simple stuff, check your connections.
· Identify hardware and software tools that will help you with common network connectivity problems. How do you utilize the tool(s) to help resolve the issue?
IPscanner will help tell you of any devices currently.

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

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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 ...
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.

An author can write many books. An artist can write many songs, albums etc. UCOnline needs to keep track of user ratings for each item sold in the online store (e.g., 1-5 and 1 for ‘Dislike’, to 5, for ‘Awesome!’). A particular user rates a particular item at a given time. A user CANNOT rate the same item multiple times unless there are multiple editions of the item. Each edition can be rated separately. Each user who submits a rating will be identified by a unique id and has a name, gender, age, and location. Nothing is anonymous.
