The document summarizes key findings from a community survey on economic development priorities in Battle Creek, Michigan. It provides details on the demographic characteristics of the survey sample and their priorities. The top three priorities reported for jobs/careers were increasing jobs with benefits, job training, and increasing wages. For preparing community members, the top priorities were apprenticeship/internship opportunities, access to financial aid for college/training, and improving K-12 education. Analysis by race, income, and age showed some differences in priority rankings within groups.
1) The document discusses opportunity mapping research conducted in Massachusetts to analyze spatial access to opportunity.

The document discusses the "polling problem" that arises when trying to process unpredictable and time-dependent input with a Turing machine. Typically a polling loop is used, where the program continuously checks for changes and takes action. However, this is inefficient. The document proposes adding a "When" construct to programming languages to directly express responses to changes in state, rather than having to continuously check for changes with polling loops. This would allow programs to more naturally handle interactive and asynchronous tasks that require waiting for events over time.

Demographic Assessment Project Overview
This assignment utilizes data mining, a tool of nursing informatics, to locate critical information about your community. The US Census, performed by law stated in The US Constitution, is collected every ten years. The results of the census are found here. The information gleaned here is immensely valuable in assessing and planning interventions for a community. This is a routine practice for public health nurses and community nurses.
It is important to understand that the date from the US Census is self- reported. It may or may not be accurate. You may notice that the percentages do not always add up to 100 percent (or they add up to more than 100 percent). Sometimes people fill the census forms out a little differently than instructed, which gives interesting results! Report the numbers as they are stated in the Census documents and relax.
The assignment is another piece of an actual community assessment. The assignment will teach you how to discover facts about the population you serve whatever practice specialty you choose. When the public health nurse completes the community assessment, the nurse engages with many partners at th.

This document provides results from a quantitative study of 400 residents in the Omaha-Council Bluffs region regarding their quality of life, priorities, values and issues. Some key findings include:
- Respondents view their quality of life as better than 5 years ago and expect further improvement, though reducing crime is seen as the most important priority.
- Over two-thirds see their quality of life and the region's direction as positive and increasing. However, high taxes and crime are identified as having the biggest negative impact on quality of life.
- The majority are optimistic about the local economy, though income inequality emerges as a concern. Maintaining jobs, education, and affordable costs of living are also high priorities.
Ipsos conducted its first quarterly SPEC survey during the period of 28th March to 7th April 2015. The topics covered in this Media Release are: (1) corruption, (2) the al-Shabaab threat, and (3) the digital migration. The questionnaire was finalized immediately after the President’s ‘State of the Nation’ address to parliament. Because the Garissa attack occurred after fieldwork had begun, no questions about this tragic event could be included. However, since about two-thirds of all field interviews had been completed by 2nd April, and the final one-quarter were conducted between 3rd and 7th April, it has been possible to compare responses on certain relevant questions by these two sections of the respondents.
The document discusses challenges and opportunities for attracting and retaining talent in Texas. It notes that Texas will face a tight labor market as the Baby Boomer generation retires and the working age population grows more slowly. Younger generations, especially Generation Y, value quality of place factors like the environment, recreation, and diversity. Adapting to their needs and improving education will help Texas compete for talent going forward.

This document summarizes findings from mapping community opportunity for African American males across seven major metropolitan regions. It was found that Black males have significantly less access to high-opportunity neighborhoods than white males. Living in low-opportunity neighborhoods negatively impacts educational achievement, health, and economic outcomes. The document calls for investments in people through programs supporting education, health, and wealth building, as well as place-based investments to improve infrastructure, housing, and development in disadvantaged communities. College admissions policies should account for differing opportunity contexts faced by students.

neighborhoods emerged as priority action items.
• The survey reached a strong cross-section of the community.
Having surveys available in Spanish and Burmese supported this outreach effort
African Americans were underrepresented relative to their population.
• The sample was largely employed and economically stable.
More outreach is necessary to reach a larger cross-section of lower-income individuals.
• The findings indicate that there are points of similarities in terms of the priorities
identified by different groups of respondents (i.e., race, age, and income).
• A deeper analysis of priorities by intersections of race, income, and age would be
beneficial in future work.
