For the past two weeks you have worked on your Diversity Perspectives paper (Scaffold Step #4). As noted previously, this step of the research paper is much more narrowly focused than the broad overview of the Literature Review. In this paper, you have used the global issue identified in your Literature Review as the foundation and narrowed your focus to some aspect of that issue that affects vulnerable and disenfranchised groups. You have analyzed and synthesized the relevant scholarly literature and examined how these groups have historically been, and currently are, impacted by the policies, decisions, and actions of others. As part of your research, you have considered various perspectives of your own cultural background and experiences as well as those of others. Using the scholarly research related to your topic, in the Diversity Perspectives paper you have examined the solutions and strategies proposed and/or implemented and you have evaluated the potential equity of such actions. You should now be ready to recommend areas for further study that might result in more equitable treatment of those vulnerable and disenfranchised groups. Your recommendation must be supported by well-reasoned evidence from scholarly research. Remember: you are not to propose solutions at this point! Depending on the number of scholarly sources used, your diversity perspectives paper should be approximately 1,500-2,000 words, and should not exceed 2,500 words. (Word counts exclude title pages, headers, and reference list.) Be sure you use the Diversity Perspectives Worksheet to organize your ideas. The Worksheet is in Ch. 4 of your Webtext . Compose your work using a word processor (or other software as appropriate) and save it frequently to your computer. Do not include the actual instructions in your submission. (Including the instructions will cause inaccuracies in your Turnitin report). Create a title page for your document with your name, date, course information, and “Scaffold Step #4” clearly noted. Proofread carefully and correct any spelling or grammatical errors . ...

Your assignment is to write a research project that includes a review of the current understanding of the topic, a clearly stated hypothesis, a description of the experimental or observational methods you would use to test your hypothesis, and a discussion of how your research will contribute to the field of this Course. Before you begin writing your proposal, you must conduct considerable research to determine what studies have been done and what questions remain unanswered. This library research should continue as you write to help you dig deeper into the topic, formulate your ideas, and devise your methods. Be prepared to make room for this back and forth between research and writing as you consider and reconsider your project ideas and begin drafting your proposal.

Assignment Overview
In the assignment this week, you will write a paper (7–10 pages), including a literature review, that examines ethical behavior, diversity, and civil discourse in the context of your particular focus and specialization.
What You Need to Know
Ethical Reasoning
Morris (2016) tells us:
In fall 2016, more than twenty million students enrolled across more than four million colleges and universities in the U.S. One in four students were members of a minority group, and approximately one million were international students. These students interacted with approximately four million administrators and faculty and staff members in a diversity of settings. Most of these students will easily transition into a life of academics and social interactions. For others, insults, aggressions, and lack of inclusion are a reality; and these experiences will shape their interactions and perceptions . . . on the challenges facing the nation and world and considering the role that post-secondary education plays in improving civil discourse nationally and creating safe spaces for dialogue and personal growth. (p. 361)
Morris (2016) goes on to argue:
First, [we must] identify resources to support conversations around civil discourse, social justice, and inclusion. Could we individually and collectively in every department, college, and administrative unit resolve to make a difference—to role-model and ask our students to be kind, show compassion, be inclusive and fair, and extend a hand of friendship? Maybe our academic words, like social justice, just do not resonate. Perhaps people forget that words have power and can cause long-lasting pain or can provide encouragement. While we may study and advocate for equity, perhaps we should say that this campus and my class will discuss challenging topics; but we will be characterized by the following values: to listen, to reflect, to show compassion, to think critically, and to care about this community of learners. I know: it sounds like Robert Fulghum’s
All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten
(1988). However, sometimes simple guidelines work best. (p. 361)

Project Outline and Literature Review
Overview
Entering an academic conversation involves many steps. Two of the most fundamental of these steps involve reading material in the field and forming a perspective on what you have read. Academics demonstrate their perspective on the material in the field by composing a literature review.
The purpose of this assignment is to assist you in gathering pertinent research for your final project. Begin by developing an outline that presents categories such as the background, theory, and challenges of the cultural conflict that you identified for your research topic. Then complete a literature review for each category. In brief, a literature review covers multiple areas on the topic including:
Key concepts.
Existing theories.
What is known.
What is not well understood.
Why it is important to study this topic.
What research methods seem most appropriate.
A literature review traces the genealogy of a topic in the field; it notes the history of the topic and the notable perspectives of others in the field who have addressed the topic. The purpose of a literature review is to demonstrate that a writer has insightfully and critically surveyed relevant literature in order to convince a targeted audience that this topic is worth addressing. The literature review is not intended to report the literature, but instead to synthesize it.
By successfully completing this assignment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assignment criteria:
Competency 2: Analyze individual cultural competencies.
Competency 3: Analyze culturally and developmentally appropriate intervention strategies.
Analyze findings on intervention strategies published by cultural and ethnic researchers.
Competency 4: Apply theories, methods, and research in cross-cultural awareness.
Interpret scholarly resources for cultural theories and practices relevant to the proposed topic.
Examine the research on challenges facing a population.
Competency 5: Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and consistent with expectations for members of the human services profession.
Communicate in a professional manner using scholarly resources that support the analysis through clear, concise, well organized, and grammatically correct writing that incorporates appropriate APA style and conventions.
Assignment Instructions
Complete a 3–5 page literature review that cites 8–10 recently published (within the last five years), peer-reviewed resources that inform your research topic. It will be helpful to consider making an outline for your final paper. The literature review should minimally include:
Restatement of the cultural conflict identified in your Unit 2 assignment.
Discussion of the population or populations.
Theories and research that explore the problem.
Challenges facing the population or populations.
Identification and analysis of personal competencies.
While you may find additional resources to use in .

BUS6150 Graduate Research Paper Research Starter Ideas
While this is certainly not an all-inclusive list, it should help you to start your research on the main theorists, theories, themes, models, etc. of your chosen option.
Don’t wait until the Literature Review to dive into the research. It is important that you have a good feel for your selected topic in order to write a meaningful research question in Module 1.
Helpful Hints:
· You can certainly use Google searches to get some preliminary information; however, be sure to use the library to locate recent scholarly journal articles. Refer to the BUS6150 Citation Guide for more information on this.
· Journal articles are lengthy. Start with the abstract to determine if it is relevant for your situation. Scan the literature reviews for topic ideas and citations to articles that may be useful. Skip the research methodology section and jump to the discussion of the results from the research and review the recommendations for further research.
· When you locate a terrific scholarly article, you can get additional ideas for more articles by reviewing the reference list. This will streamline your library searches.

Warm-up Activity 1: Getting Acquainted with the NCU Library
NCU Library is committed to supporting the academic research needs of students, faculty, and staff. The Library does this by providing timely access to quality, scholarly, and appropriate information resources and library services, such as reference, information literacy instruction, and inter-library loan services. Students also have access to highly qualified and experienced Library staff.
Library services include:
Research Databases
- Access to A - Z databases list from the library’s home page containing thousands of journals, magazines, newspapers, e-Books, dissertations, financial data, and other information resources available in the Library.
Inter-library Loan Service
(ILL) - Students needing articles, and book chapters not in the Library collection can submit an inter-library loan request. Students can register for the ILL service by clicking the “Request Inter-library Loan Items” link on the Library homepage. Students will need to utilize local libraries for print-only materials.
Ask a Librarian
- Students can receive library assistance 24/7 via the “Ask a Librarian” service. Ask a Librarian allows patrons to search an ever-expanding knowledge bank of frequently asked Library questions and their responses, conveniently located at the bottom of the blue, left-side toolbar located on every Library Guide. NCU Students, faculty, and staff may also complete an
Ask a Librarian Form
. Questions are answered promptly during Library Staffed Hours.
Research Consultations
- The Library offers a research consultation service for students, faculty, and staff. This is an in-depth, personalized, one-on-one meeting with a reference librarian to discuss possible information resources and search strategies for class assignments, papers, presentations, Masters theses, and doctoral dissertations.
Library Workshops
- Library workshops provide in-depth information about using library resources and services. Recorded workshops are available from the Learn the Library page. Students are strongly encouraged to view a Library workshop before beginning coursework.
Warm-up Activity 2: Considering Information Literacy
Read the Northcentral University Library page called
Research Process
and review various links and tutorials to prepare for using the library.
As you go through the rest of this assignment, you will be asked to use the Northcentral University Library to locate books, articles, and other appropriate online resources about family therapy. For this purpose, it is necessary for you to identify a topic that you wo.
throughout your time as a CAS student, you have been exposed to va
throughout your time as a CAS student, you have been exposed to various developmental theories and practices that align with them. One way that we can connect theoretical understandings with developmentally appropriate practices is through the spaces we create for children and adolescents at-risk.
Develop a classroom or community center/plot of land floorplan where there is intentionality behind every inch of the space. Label each area with its purpose and what area of development it is meant to foster. Be specific, go beyond saying, "Cognitive, Social-emotional, Language, or Physical development". You should have a minimum of 4 pages:
1. A cover page (1 points) where you list your name, student ID, dat, "HW3" and then tell me about the space you are designing and for what age group and population.
· Ages can range from 4 year old's to 18 year old's
· Populations can range from a low-income classroom in an urban, suburban, or rural area to a targeted population (e.g., LGBTQIA+, sexual assault survivors, individuals with learning differences, undocumented youth, etc.)
· Overarching goal of the space you are creating
2. The visual (3 points) representation of the space you created with each area labeled
· You can do this with colored pencils and paper (take a picture or scan it) or on your ipad/tablets and computers using any software/program available to you.
· You can label using letters or numbers or short label names/descriptors
3. The index (4 points) for each area with
· a full name of the area & its goals
· the developmental aspect it is targeting
· through what processes specifically it is targeting that area of development
· Finally, how is it serving a buffer or protective factor for children and adolescents at risk
4. Reflection (2 points) on the process and how realistic your design would be in a school or organization with low resources.
· What 3 areas would you cut and what 2 areas would you absolutely fight to keep if budget was a barrier?
*** You do not need to be an artistic genius to do well on this assignment. It is most important to demonstrate your intentionality in curating spaces for children and adolescents at-risk. Importantly, it needs to be clear that you thought through different processes that impact development.
***There are no file format restrictions given that this is more than a writing assignment.
Research Paper Project Guidelines
This project is an exercise in the social scientific study of public administration,
Students are expected to perform the following tasks:
(a) Choose a substantive, empirical issue pertaining to the topic of the class. The
topic may certainly have normative implications, but it should be
fundamentally an empirical issue. The paper should not be an advocacy
document.
(b) Examine a substantial portion of the social scientific or scholarly literature
analyzing that issue.
(c) Select one or more explanations or perspectives from t ...
Practical Research 1: Week 5, Rational of the Study
This is for students of Grade 11 that has Practical Research 1. This is about the Rationale of the study in research found in Chapter 1. You will learn on how to write the Rationale of the study provided some examples. A rationale pertains to the reasons why the study must be conducted.
It is necessary to be rational in everything that you do in research, or else it might be a waste of time and effort.

For the second major writing project of the semester, you’ll produce a comparative rhetorical
analysis by choosing between two different options—scientific or political discourse—and
finding and comparing two instances of rhetorical discourse. Whatever option you select, you’ll
need to address the same questions as you develop your understanding of rhetorical discourse
and the way different discourses address differences in rhetorical situation:
1. The question of exigence: What is the discourse about? What need or purpose does the
discourse address? What fundamental values are at stake? What is the discourse trying to
accomplish—and how successful is it?
2. The question of the rhetor: Who is—or are—the rhetor or rhetors? Who is responsible for the
discourse? Who created it? Does the rhetor successfully establish ethos? Why or why not? How
does the discourse itself invoke a particular rhetor? Who sponsored the discourse, and how?
3. The question of audience: For whom is the discourse intended? To whom would this
discourse appeal? Who is the actual audience, and who is the audience invoked or imagined by
the discourse itself? Does the discourse invite the audience to adopt a new role, a new identity?
4. The question of constraints: What constraints did the rhetor have to take into account—what
factors outside of the discourse and beyond the rhetor’s control might influence the audience’s
response to the discourse? Are they negative or positive constraints? How did the rhetor
accommodate those constraints? Was the rhetor successful?
5. The question of genre: What is the genre of the text, and what purpose does this genre
typically serve? How do audience expectations of the genre contribute to our understanding of
the exigence, the intended audience, and the rhetor? What constraints does the genre
introduce?
These constituents of rhetorical situations aren’t an outline for your project; you won’t march
through each of them in succession in the body of your project. Rather, they’re your initial
research questions that will help you to analyze thoroughly the rhetorical dimensions of the texts
you select.
The form and structure of your project will depend, finally, on a refined research question that
will develop out of your research and your understanding of how your chosen texts work.

Compare and Contrast Essay AssignmentA Compare and Contrast essa
Compare and Contrast Essay Assignment
A Compare and Contrast essay explores the similarities and differences between two or more items, ideas, topics, trends, works, etc. When we compare, we point out the similarities between two items, and when we contrast, we show their differences. In fact, Compare and Contrast is one of the main rhetorical strategies that writers use to develop ideas and support their arguments.
For this assignment, you will write a Compare and Contrast essay in which you will
explore the similarities and differences between two of the following topics:
1. Generation Z vs. Millennials
2. Generation Z vs. Generation X
3. How Generation Z is perceived vs How Generation Z really is according to you
The American Family Then and Now
1. Compare and Contrast the way and times in which you were raised to that of children today. Do you think that your parent’s were more strict or concerned than today’s parents? Do you think that kids today expect too much? Provide specific examples as to how kids today are being raised similarly and differently than you.
2. How has the role of the woman changed in the family? Is this change good for families? How has the emergence of women in the workforce and their becoming "bread winners" affected the family?
3. As I look at the male figures in my own family, I can see that the role of the male has changed in two generations. My grandfather, for example, has never changed a diaper or cooked a meal in fifty-two years of marriage, yet I do these two things often. In your own family, how has the role of your gender changed in the last two generations. While the changes are probably many, there are still some things that have probably stayed the same. In considering this topic, be sure to include some of the things that are similar regarding the role of your gender in your family structure.
4. More and more couples are choosing not to be married. How and why is this different from the past? Why are people not getting married? How does the affect the family?
5. Non-traditional families are becoming the new normal in the United States. Discuss and compare the traditional family and non-traditional families.
Your purpose for this essay will be to simply inform your audience on their similarities and differences, on the relative merits of the items discussed, and establish the significance of this comparison and contrast. This last point will be expressed in the thesis of your essay which will also strengthen your essay and clarify its purpose.
Process
The first thing you want to do is brainstorm everything you know about each topic, research both of them, go back and look for connections that show similarities and differences, and then develop your thesis. Remember to select only those aspects that are explicitly comparable or contrastable. After you have formulated your thesis statement, established your basis of comparison, and selected your points for discussion, you are ready to organ ...

Controversial Issues in American Culture Research Paper
Assignment:
Living in a diverse society, we are often trying to balance our personal experience and opinions agai nst a
backdrop of the large communal experience. What we think, feel, and believe can be in sharp contrast
with the people and the society around us. Thus, students need to learn how to research, structure, and
advance their opinions by providing evidence to support them. This assignment will help students
formulate their opinions on a controversial topic in an argumentative essay using evidence from primary
and secondary sources. Though nearly any topic will suffice for the purpose of this paper, all topics must
be open to dispute. Students will need to formulate their opinions on the topic but also concede and
refute the oppositional opinions through counte rarguments. We will use class time to discuss research
methods but the rest of your research will be your responsibility.
Decide On a Topic:
Deciding on a topic that is not too broad, nor too narrow will take some effort . In order to present a
convincing argument, consider the following:
1. Draw on the student’s personal experience. It is important to spend time and energy on a topic
that means something to you. Think about topics they may come up in your chosen career field,
in everyday life, or things that you think should be changed in society , but that there is no easy
answer or resolution.
2. Be sure to “resist binary thinking” (Greene and Lidinsky 88). Make sure that the topic chosen can
support several, if not many, different viewpoints.
3. Synthesize others’ views and find new ways to look at the issues.
4. When researching, read to “discover a writer’s frame” to see how his/her ideas and theories can
benefit your own, or if they can be used in counterarguments.
5. Decide whether the issue an issue of fact, value, or policy? Is it a combination of two or more?
Topics should present a position that has varying perspectives.
General Topics include:
Addiction/Alcohol/ Drugs
Bilingual Education
Birth Control
Body Image
Censorship
Eating Disorders
Ethnic Stereotypes
Family Values
Gay Rights
Gender Discrimination
Gun Control
Health
Homosexuality/
Sexual Orientation
Immigration
Interracial

Education
Religion
Role Models
Sexual Assaults
Sexual Relationships

**For more topics, check out the folder in the Research Project folder
Students should come up with an issue-based question about their topic:
Think and try on different perspectives about the issue

Discuss why the issue is important to the student, and then why this issue may be important to
other people.

20 Other Conditions That May Be a Focus of Clinical AttentionV-c.docx
20 Other Conditions That May Be a Focus of Clinical Attention
V-codes and z-codes
V-codes and Z-codes are conditions that may be the focus of clinical attention but are not considered mental disorders. They correspond to International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification ICD-9-CM (V-codes) and International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification ICD-10-CM (Z-codes that become effective in 2015. In most instances, third-party payers do not cover charges for delivering services to an individual if the diagnosis is solely a V- or Z-code alone. If the V- or Z-code is not the primary diagnosis then it should be documented following the primary diagnosis. In addition, when writing the psychosocial assessment any psychosocial and cultural factors that might impact the client's diagnosis should be documented. The psychosocial stressors reflected in these diagnoses are widespread across all classes and cultures and have been shown to impact all aspects of an individual's life from the physical and psychological to the financial. Furthermore, these conditions have been shown to significantly impact the diagnosis and outcome for a multitude of mental and medical disorders. V- and Z-codes are grouped into numerous categories including: relational problems, problems related to abuse/neglect, educational and occupational problems, housing and economic problems, problems related to the social environment, problems related to the legal system, other counseling services, other psychosocial, personal and environmental problems, and problems of personal history (APA, 2013).
Broadly speaking, the category “Relational Problems” describes interactional problems between family members (e.g., parent/caregiver-child) or partners that result in significant impairment of family functioning or development of symptoms in the distressed individual, spouses, siblings, or other family members. Relational problems are broken down into two categories, Problems Related to Family Upbringing and Other Problems Related to Primary Support Group. For example, in the first category a Parent-Child Relational Problem involves interactional problems between one or both parents and a child that lead to dysfunction in behavioral (e.g., inadequate protection, overprotection), cognitive (e.g., antagonism toward or blaming of the other) or affective (e.g., feeling sad and angry) realms. Here, the critical factor is the quality of the parent-child relationship or when the dysfunction in this relationship is impacting the course and outcome of a psychological or medical condition. Other examples include Sibling Relational Problem, Upbringing Away from Parents, and Child Affected by Parental Relationship Distress. Similarly, family relationships and interactional patterns leading to problems related to primary support group include Partner Relational Problem, Disruption of Family by Separation/Divorce, High Expressed Emotion Level with.

Case 53
Problems in Pasta Land
by
Andres Sousa-Poza
Old Dominion University
The Food Factory has been operating in an underdeveloped country for approximately 10
years.1 Its parent corporation specializes in wheat milling, and it started the pasta factory as a
“side-line” operation to process lower quality wheat flour, which is a by-product of the
normal milling process. This low-gluten flour is generally not suitable for the production of
bread or for direct sale to consumers.
In 2009, the pasta division is confronted with a major problem. It is too successful!
The factory was designed around the mill. Production capacities matched the amount of
effluent from the mill rather than coming from a sound marketing strategy. As shown in
Table 53-1, by 2006, the pasta plant was no longer able to effectively serve existing
customers. The plant that was designed to produce 600 tons of pasta per month on two
production lines is now facing average monthly orders of approximately 800 tons.
Furthermore, the corporate director of marketing estimates that orders could easily be
increased to 1400 to 1800 tons per month.
1 All monies used in this case are in the local currency, which is one of the more than 40 countries in
the world that use the $ symbol and most of which are called dollars.

Another challenge facing the factory is that the initial equipment was refurbished, not
new, and it is now antiquated and seriously dilapidated. Unless the plant is shut down,
equipment replacement is going to be required. The existing equipment was already a
technological generation behind when it was bought. During the last 10 years a new
generation of equipment has been developed based on high-temperature drying. The new
technology is much more suited for use with low-quality (low-gluten) flour and semolina.
New machinery is significantly more efficient. It requires fewer workers, has lower relative
energy consumption, and produces less waste. The pasta plant still maintains a price lead
through the low cost at which it is able to obtain raw materials from the corporate wheat mill,
but this barely compensates for the plant’s low efficiency.
The new technology is also enabling competitors to use low-quality, low-cost raw
materials and still produce a reasonably high-quality end product. Ultimately, this means that
the cost of higher quality pasta has dropped significantly in price, and the quality of the low-
cost pasta is increasing significantly. The pasta factory’s market is customers wit.

The aim of this technique is to predict the future of the project such as what would be the customer reaction on project, financial need, etc. In developing predictive analytical application, a number of techniques are used such as classification algorithms. The classification techniques are logistic regression, decision tree models and neural network. Clustering algorithms are used to segment customers in different groups which helps to target specific promotions to them. To estimate the relationship between different purchasing behavior, association mining technique is used (Mehra, 2014). As an example, for any product on Amazon.com results in the retailer also suggesting similar products that a customer might be interested in. Predictive analytics can be used in E-commerce to solve the following problems
1. Improve customer engagement and increase revenue
1. Launch promotions that target specific customer group
1. Optimizing prices to generate maximum profits
1. Keep proper inventory and reduce over stalking
1. Minimizing fraud happenings and protecting privacy
1. Provide batter customer service at low cost
1. Analyze data and make decision in real time

22-6 | Reporting the Plight of Depression Families
MARTHA GELLHORN, Field Report to Harry Hopkins (1934)
1. From Martha Gellhorn to Harry Hopkins, Report, Gaston County, North Carolina, November 11, 1934, Franklin D. Roosevelt Library, Harry Hopkins Papers, Box 66. Online transcript available at http://newdeal.feri.org/hopkins/hop08.htm.
Journalist and novelist Martha Gellhorn’s heartrending field report describing impoverished Gastonia, North Carolina, families vividly captures the desperate hope of depression-era families. Hired by Harry Hopkins, Franklin Roosevelt’s point man for federal relief efforts, Gellhorn detailed the enormous challenge facing the administration. Compounding the epic humanitarian crisis she encountered was the political opposition, which she singled out as one among many obstacles hampering relief efforts.
All during this trip [to North Carolina] I have been thinking to myself about that curious phrase “red menace,” and wondering where said menace hid itself. Every house I visited — mill worker or unemployed — had a picture of the President. These ranged from newspaper clippings (in destitute homes) to large colored prints, framed in gilt cardboard. The portrait holds the place of honour over the mantel. . . . He is at once God and their intimate friend; he knows them all by name, knows their little town and mill, their little lives and problems. And, though everything else fails, he is there, and will not let them down.
I have been seeing people who, according to almost any standard, have practically nothing in life and practically nothing to look forward to or hope for. But there is hope; confidence, something intangible and real: “the president isn’t going to forget us.”
Let me cite cases: I went to see a woman with five children who was living on relief ($3.40 a week). Her picture of the President was a small one, and she told me her oldest daughter had been married some months ago and had cried for the big, coloured picture as a wedding present. The children have no shoes and that woman is terrified of the coming cold as if it were a definite physical entity. There is practically no furniture left in the home, and you can imagine what and how they eat. But she said, suddenly brightening, “I’d give my heart to see the President. I know he means to do everything he can for us; but they make it hard for him; they won’t let him.” I note this case as something special; because here the faith was coupled with a feeling (entirely sympathetic) that the President was not entirely omnipotent.
I have been seeing mill workers; and in every mill when possible, the local Union president. There has been widespread discrimination in the south; and many mills haven’t re-opened since the strike. Those open often run on such curtailment that workers are getting from 2 to 3 days work a week. The price of food has risen (especially the kind of food they eat: fat-back bacon, flour, meal, sorghum) as high as 100%. It is getting cold;.

- Library workshops provide in-depth information about using library resources and services. Recorded workshops are available from the Learn the Library page. Students are strongly encouraged to view a Library workshop before beginning coursework.
Warm-up Activity 2: Considering Information Literacy
Read the Northcentral University Library page called
Research Process
and review various links and tutorials to prepare for using the library.
As you go through the rest of this assignment, you will be asked to use the Northcentral University Library to locate books, articles, and other appropriate online resources about family therapy. For this purpose, it is necessary for you to identify a topic that you wo.
throughout your time as a CAS student, you have been exposed to va
throughout your time as a CAS student, you have been exposed to various developmental theories and practices that align with them. One way that we can connect theoretical understandings with developmentally appropriate practices is through the spaces we create for children and adolescents at-risk.
Develop a classroom or community center/plot of land floorplan where there is intentionality behind every inch of the space. Label each area with its purpose and what area of development it is meant to foster. Be specific, go beyond saying, "Cognitive, Social-emotional, Language, or Physical development". You should have a minimum of 4 pages:
1. A cover page (1 points) where you list your name, student ID, dat, "HW3" and then tell me about the space you are designing and for what age group and population.
· Ages can range from 4 year old's to 18 year old's
· Populations can range from a low-income classroom in an urban, suburban, or rural area to a targeted population (e.g., LGBTQIA+, sexual assault survivors, individuals with learning differences, undocumented youth, etc.)
· Overarching goal of the space you are creating
2. The visual (3 points) representation of the space you created with each area labeled
· You can do this with colored pencils and paper (take a picture or scan it) or on your ipad/tablets and computers using any software/program available to you.
· You can label using letters or numbers or short label names/descriptors
3. The index (4 points) for each area with
· a full name of the area & its goals
· the developmental aspect it is targeting
· through what processes specifically it is targeting that area of development
· Finally, how is it serving a buffer or protective factor for children and adolescents at risk
4. Reflection (2 points) on the process and how realistic your design would be in a school or organization with low resources.
· What 3 areas would you cut and what 2 areas would you absolutely fight to keep if budget was a barrier?
*** You do not need to be an artistic genius to do well on this assignment. It is most important to demonstrate your intentionality in curating spaces for children and adolescents at-risk. Importantly, it needs to be clear that you thought through different processes that impact development.
***There are no file format restrictions given that this is more than a writing assignment.
Research Paper Project Guidelines
This project is an exercise in the social scientific study of public administration,
Students are expected to perform the following tasks:
(a) Choose a substantive, empirical issue pertaining to the topic of the class. The
topic may certainly have normative implications, but it should be
fundamentally an empirical issue. The paper should not be an advocacy
document.
(b) Examine a substantial portion of the social scientific or scholarly literature
analyzing that issue.

Relevant course readings:
Laura Bolin Carroll: “Backpacks vs. Briefcases: Steps toward Rhetorical Analysis” Kerry Dirk:

Keith GrantDavie: “Rhetorical Situations and Their Constituents”
Due dates:
Response draft (at least 1300 words for full credit) due: (one copy uploaded to Moodle; two hard

For the second major writing project of the semester, you’ll produce a comparative rhetorical
analysis by choosing between two different options—scientific or political discourse—and
finding and comparing two instances of rhetorical discourse. Whatever option you select, you’ll
need to address the same questions as you develop your understanding of rhetorical discourse
and the way different discourses address differences in rhetorical situation:
1. The question of exigence: What is the discourse about? What need or purpose does the
discourse address? What fundamental values are at stake? What is the discourse trying to
accomplish—and how successful is it?
2. The question of the rhetor: Who is—or are—the rhetor or rhetors? Who is responsible for the
discourse? Who created it? Does the rhetor successfully establish ethos? Why or why not? How
does the discourse itself invoke a particular rhetor? Who sponsored the discourse, and how?
3. The question of audience: For whom is the discourse intended? To whom would this
discourse appeal? Who is the actual audience, and who is the audience invoked or imagined by
the discourse itself? Does the discourse invite the audience to adopt a new role, a new identity?
4. The question of constraints: What constraints did the rhetor have to take into account—what
factors outside of the discourse and beyond the rhetor’s control might influence the audience’s
response to the discourse? Are they negative or positive constraints? How did the rhetor
accommodate those constraints? Was the rhetor successful?
5. The question of genre: What is the genre of the text, and what purpose does this genre
typically serve? How do audience expectations of the genre contribute to our understanding of
the exigence, the intended audience, and the rhetor? What constraints does the genre
introduce?
These constituents of rhetorical situations aren’t an outline for your project; you won’t march
through each of them in succession in the body of your project. Rather, they’re your initial
research questions that will help you to analyze thoroughly the rhetorical dimensions of the texts
you select.
The form and structure of your project will depend, finally, on a refined research question that
will develop out of your research and your understanding of how your chosen texts work.

Compare and Contrast Essay AssignmentA Compare and Contrast essa
Compare and Contrast Essay Assignment
A Compare and Contrast essay explores the similarities and differences between two or more items, ideas, topics, trends, works, etc. When we compare, we point out the similarities between two items, and when we contrast, we show their differences. In fact, Compare and Contrast is one of the main rhetorical strategies that writers use to develop ideas and support their arguments.
For this assignment, you will write a Compare and Contrast essay in which you will
explore the similarities and differences between two of the following topics:
1. Generation Z vs. Millennials
2. Generation Z vs. Generation X
3. How Generation Z is perceived vs How Generation Z really is according to you
The American Family Then and Now
1. Compare and Contrast the way and times in which you were raised to that of children today. Do you think that your parent’s were more strict or concerned than today’s parents? Do you think that kids today expect too much? Provide specific examples as to how kids today are being raised similarly and differently than you.
2. How has the role of the woman changed in the family? Is this change good for families? How has the emergence of women in the workforce and their becoming "bread winners" affected the family?
3. As I look at the male figures in my own family, I can see that the role of the male has changed in two generations. My grandfather, for example, has never changed a diaper or cooked a meal in fifty-two years of marriage, yet I do these two things often. In your own family, how has the role of your gender changed in the last two generations. While the changes are probably many, there are still some things that have probably stayed the same. In considering this topic, be sure to include some of the things that are similar regarding the role of your gender in your family structure.
4. More and more couples are choosing not to be married. How and why is this different from the past? Why are people not getting married? How does the affect the family?
5. Non-traditional families are becoming the new normal in the United States. Discuss and compare the traditional family and non-traditional families.
Your purpose for this essay will be to simply inform your audience on their similarities and differences, on the relative merits of the items discussed, and establish the significance of this comparison and contrast. This last point will be expressed in the thesis of your essay which will also strengthen your essay and clarify its purpose.
Process
The first thing you want to do is brainstorm everything you know about each topic, research both of them, go back and look for connections that show similarities and differences, and then develop your thesis. Remember to select only those aspects that are explicitly comparable or contrastable. After you have formulated your thesis statement, established your basis of comparison, and selected your points for discussion, you are ready to organ ...

Controversial Issues in American Culture Research Paper
Assignment:
Living in a diverse society, we are often trying to balance our personal experience and opinions agai nst a
backdrop of the large communal experience. What we think, feel, and believe can be in sharp contrast
with the people and the society around us. Thus, students need to learn how to research, structure, and
advance their opinions by providing evidence to support them. This assignment will help students
formulate their opinions on a controversial topic in an argumentative essay using evidence from primary
and secondary sources. Though nearly any topic will suffice for the purpose of this paper, all topics must
be open to dispute. Students will need to formulate their opinions on the topic but also concede and
refute the oppositional opinions through counte rarguments. We will use class time to discuss research
methods but the rest of your research will be your responsibility.
Decide On a Topic:
Deciding on a topic that is not too broad, nor too narrow will take some effort . In order to present a
convincing argument, consider the following:
1. Draw on the student’s personal experience. It is important to spend time and energy on a topic
that means something to you. Think about topics they may come up in your chosen career field,
in everyday life, or things that you think should be changed in society , but that there is no easy
answer or resolution.
2. Be sure to “resist binary thinking” (Greene and Lidinsky 88). Make sure that the topic chosen can
support several, if not many, different viewpoints.
3. Synthesize others’ views and find new ways to look at the issues.
4. When researching, read to “discover a writer’s frame” to see how his/her ideas and theories can
benefit your own, or if they can be used in counterarguments.
5. Decide whether the issue an issue of fact, value, or policy? Is it a combination of two or more?
Topics should present a position that has varying perspectives.
General Topics include:
Addiction/Alcohol/ Drugs
Bilingual Education
Birth Control
Body Image
Censorship
Eating Disorders
Ethnic Stereotypes
Family Values
Gay Rights
Gender Discrimination
Gun Control
Health
Homosexuality/
Sexual Orientation
Immigration

20 Other Conditions That May Be a Focus of Clinical Attention
V-codes and z-codes
V-codes and Z-codes are conditions that may be the focus of clinical attention but are not considered mental disorders. They correspond to International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification ICD-9-CM (V-codes) and International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification ICD-10-CM (Z-codes that become effective in 2015. In most instances, third-party payers do not cover charges for delivering services to an individual if the diagnosis is solely a V- or Z-code alone. If the V- or Z-code is not the primary diagnosis then it should be documented following the primary diagnosis. In addition, when writing the psychosocial assessment any psychosocial and cultural factors that might impact the client's diagnosis should be documented. The psychosocial stressors reflected in these diagnoses are widespread across all classes and cultures and have been shown to impact all aspects of an individual's life from the physical and psychological to the financial. Furthermore, these conditions have been shown to significantly impact the diagnosis and outcome for a multitude of mental and medical disorders. V- and Z-codes are grouped into numerous categories including: relational problems, problems related to abuse/neglect, educational and occupational problems, housing and economic problems, problems related to the social environment, problems related to the legal system, other counseling services, other psychosocial, personal and environmental problems, and problems of personal history (APA, 2013).
Broadly speaking, the category “Relational Problems” describes interactional problems between family members (e.g., parent/caregiver-child) or partners that result in significant impairment of family functioning or development of symptoms in the distressed individual, spouses, siblings, or other family members. Relational problems are broken down into two categories, Problems Related to Family Upbringing and Other Problems Related to Primary Support Group. For example, in the first category a Parent-Child Relational Problem involves interactional problems between one or both parents and a child that lead to dysfunction in behavioral (e.g., inadequate protection, overprotection), cognitive (e.g., antagonism toward or blaming of the other) or affective (e.g., feeling sad and angry) realms. Here, the critical factor is the quality of the parent-child relationship or when the dysfunction in this relationship is impacting the course and outcome of a psychological or medical condition. Other examples include Sibling Relational Problem, Upbringing Away from Parents, and Child Affected by Parental Relationship Distress. Similarly, family relationships and interactional patterns leading to problems related to primary support group include Partner Relational Problem, Disruption of Family by Separation/Divorce, High Expressed Emotion Level with.

Case 53
Problems in Pasta Land
by
Andres Sousa-Poza
Old Dominion University
The Food Factory has been operating in an underdeveloped country for approximately 10
years.1 Its parent corporation specializes in wheat milling, and it started the pasta factory as a
“side-line” operation to process lower quality wheat flour, which is a by-product of the
normal milling process. This low-gluten flour is generally not suitable for the production of
bread or for direct sale to consumers.
In 2009, the pasta division is confronted with a major problem. It is too successful!
The factory was designed around the mill. Production capacities matched the amount of
effluent from the mill rather than coming from a sound marketing strategy. As shown in
Table 53-1, by 2006, the pasta plant was no longer able to effectively serve existing
customers. The plant that was designed to produce 600 tons of pasta per month on two
production lines is now facing average monthly orders of approximately 800 tons.
Furthermore, the corporate director of marketing estimates that orders could easily be
increased to 1400 to 1800 tons per month.
1 All monies used in this case are in the local currency, which is one of the more than 40 countries in
the world that use the $ symbol and most of which are called dollars.

Another challenge facing the factory is that the initial equipment was refurbished, not
new, and it is now antiquated and seriously dilapidated. Unless the plant is shut down,
equipment replacement is going to be required. The existing equipment was already a
technological generation behind when it was bought. During the last 10 years a new
generation of equipment has been developed based on high-temperature drying. The new
technology is much more suited for use with low-quality (low-gluten) flour and semolina.
New machinery is significantly more efficient. It requires fewer workers, has lower relative
energy consumption, and produces less waste. The pasta plant still maintains a price lead
through the low cost at which it is able to obtain raw materials from the corporate wheat mill,
but this barely compensates for the plant’s low efficiency.
The new technology is also enabling competitors to use low-quality, low-cost raw
materials and still produce a reasonably high-quality end product. Ultimately, this means that
the cost of higher quality pasta has dropped significantly in price, and the quality of the low-
cost pasta is increasing significantly. The pasta factory’s market is customers wit.

22-6 | Reporting the Plight of Depression Families
MARTHA GELLHORN, Field Report to Harry Hopkins (1934)
1. From Martha Gellhorn to Harry Hopkins, Report, Gaston County, North Carolina, November 11, 1934, Franklin D. Roosevelt Library, Harry Hopkins Papers, Box 66. Online transcript available at http://newdeal.feri.org/hopkins/hop08.htm.
Journalist and novelist Martha Gellhorn’s heartrending field report describing impoverished Gastonia, North Carolina, families vividly captures the desperate hope of depression-era families. Hired by Harry Hopkins, Franklin Roosevelt’s point man for federal relief efforts, Gellhorn detailed the enormous challenge facing the administration. Compounding the epic humanitarian crisis she encountered was the political opposition, which she singled out as one among many obstacles hampering relief efforts.
All during this trip [to North Carolina] I have been thinking to myself about that curious phrase “red menace,” and wondering where said menace hid itself. Every house I visited — mill worker or unemployed — had a picture of the President. These ranged from newspaper clippings (in destitute homes) to large colored prints, framed in gilt cardboard. The portrait holds the place of honour over the mantel. . . . He is at once God and their intimate friend; he knows them all by name, knows their little town and mill, their little lives and problems. And, though everything else fails, he is there, and will not let them down.
I have been seeing people who, according to almost any standard, have practically nothing in life and practically nothing to look forward to or hope for. But there is hope; confidence, something intangible and real: “the president isn’t going to forget us.”
Let me cite cases: I went to see a woman with five children who was living on relief ($3.40 a week). Her picture of the President was a small one, and she told me her oldest daughter had been married some months ago and had cried for the big, coloured picture as a wedding present. The children have no shoes and that woman is terrified of the coming cold as if it were a definite physical entity. There is practically no furniture left in the home, and you can imagine what and how they eat. But she said, suddenly brightening, “I’d give my heart to see the President. I know he means to do everything he can for us; but they make it hard for him; they won’t let him.” I note this case as something special; because here the faith was coupled with a feeling (entirely sympathetic) that the President was not entirely omnipotent.
I have been seeing mill workers; and in every mill when possible, the local Union president. There has been widespread discrimination in the south; and many mills haven’t re-opened since the strike. Those open often run on such curtailment that workers are getting from 2 to 3 days work a week. The price of food has risen (especially the kind of food they eat: fat-back bacon, flour, meal, sorghum) as high as 100%. It is getting cold;.

Controlled Burn
The Gendering of Stress and Burnout in
Modern Policing
Don L. Kurtz
Kansas State University
Despite the interest in the interplay between subcultural attitudes, organizational
structure, and high stress events, most research on police stress fails to address a
fundamental concern—that of gender. In fact, the majority of research addressing officer
stress fails to mention gender or concentrates on gender as a simple control variable. Data
from the Police Stress and Domestic Violence in Police Families in Baltimore, Maryland,
1997-1999 study were analyzed to examine how gender affects stress and burnout in law
enforcement. Findings indicate that stress and burnout by officers is embedded in the
gender structure and process of policing and not simply a response to high stress events.
Keywords: policing; stress; burnout; masculinity; gender and policing; social construc-
tion of gender; gendered organization theory
Asignificant body of research contends that policing is one of the most stressfulprofessions in American society (Anderson, Litzenberger, & Plecas, 2002;
Harpold & Feenster, 2002; Howard, Howard Donofrio, & Boles, 2004; Liberman
et al., 2002; Lott, 1995). Officer stress is associated with a number of negative
behaviors and psychological outcomes, including high rates of substance abuse,
divorce, suicide, and violence (Harpold & Feenster, 2002; Lott, 1995; Violanti,
1996). Attempts to deal with officer stress and burnout generally focus on psycho-
logical, physical, or psychiatric responses to critical incidents or high stress work
environments (Anderson et al., 2002; Brooks & Piquero, 1998; Liberman et al.,
2002; Loo, 2004; Mashburn, 1993; Purpura, 2001). Some scholars identify a sub-
culture of policing through which selected behaviors and attitudes influence officers’
reactions to organizational and job related stress (Harpold & Feenster, 2002; Purpura,
2001). Despite interest in the interplay among subcultural attitudes, organizational

Abstract - The Vietnamese government have plan to develop the
wind farms with the expected capacity of 6 GW by 2030. With the
high penetration of wind power into power system, wind power
forecasting is essentially needed for a power generation
balancing in power system operation and electricity market.
However, such a tool is currently not available in Vietnamese
wind farms as well as electricity market. Therefore, a short-term
wind power forecasting tool for 24 hours has been created to fill
in this gap, using artificial neural network technique. The neural
network has been trained with past data recorded from 2015 to
2017 at Tuy Phong wind farm in Binh Thuan province of Viet
Nam. It has been tested for wind power prediction with the input
data from hourly weather forecast for the same wind farm. The
tool can be used for short-term wind power forecasting in
Vietnamese power system in a foreseeable future.
Keywords: power system; wind farm; wind power forecasting;
neural network; electricity market.
I. NECESITY OF WIND POWER FORECASTING
Today, the integration of wind power into the existing
grid is a big issue in power system operation. For the system
operators, power generation curve of wind turbines is a
necessary information in the power sources balancing. From
the dispatchers’ point of view, wind power forecast errors
will impact the system net imbalances when the share of
wind power increases, and more accurate forecasts mean less
regulating capacity will be activated from the real time
electricity market [1]. In the deregulated market, day-ahead
electricity spot prices are also affected by day-ahead wind
power forecasting [2]. Wind power forecasting is also
essential in reducing the power curtailment, supporting the
ancillary service. However, due to uncertainty of wind speed
and weather factors, the wind power is not easy to predict.
In recent years, many wind power forecasting methods
have been proposed. In [3], a review of different approaches
for short-term wind power forecasting has been introduced,
including statistical and physical methods with different
models such as WPMS, WPPT, Prediktor, Zephyr, WPFS,
ANEMOS, ARMINES, Ewind, Sipreolico. In [4], [5], the
methods, models of wind power forecasting and its impact on

Abstract — Personal Data Protection has been among the most
discussed topics lately and a reason for great concern among
organizations. The EU General Data Protection Regulation
(GDPR) is the most important change in data privacy regulation
in 20 years. The regulation will fundamentally reshape the way in
which data is handled across every sector. The organizations had
two years to implement it. As referred by many authors, the
implementation of the regulation has not been an easy task for
companies. The question we aim to answer in this study is how far
the implementation of ISO 27001 standards might represent a
facilitating factor to organizations for an easier compliance with
the regulation. In order to answer this question, several websites
(mostly of consulting companies) were analyzed, and the aspects
considered as facilitating are listed in this paper.
Keywords - regulation (EU) 2016/679; general data protection
regulation; ISO/IEC 27001.
I. INTRODUCTION
In recent years, data protection has become a forefront issue
in cyber security. The issues introduced by recurring
organizational data breaches, social media and the Internet of
Things (IoT) have raised the stakes even further [1, 2]. The EU
GDPR, enforced from May 25 2018, is an attempt to address
such data protection. The GDPR makes for stronger, unified data
protection throughout the EU.
The EU GDPR states that organizations must adopt
appropriate policies, procedures and processes to protect the
personal data they hold.
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
/International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 27000 series
is a set of information security standards that provide best-
practice recommendations for information security management
[3].
This international standard for information security, ISO
27001, provides an excellent starting point for achieving the
technical and operational requirements necessary to reduce the
risk of a breach.
Not all data is protected by the GDPR, since it is only
applicable to personal data. This is defined in Article 4 as
follows [4]:
“personal data” means any information relating to an
identified or identifiable natural person (’data subject’); an
identifiable.

Trouble at 3Forks
Introduction: The foreclosure process can differ for deeds
versus mortgages. You will conduct research to determine
these differences since it is not only covered in the real estate
exam, but it is important to know this process in professional
practice.
Scenario: Henri and Lila own a restaurant which the
government has caused to close due to widening the road in
front of their establishment. Since this is the main source of
their income, and has caused Lila and Henri to stop payments
on their mortgage, address the following questions.
Checklist:
Explain the action that Henri and Lila should expect from the
bank regarding their property.
Describe how the banks actions would differ if it was a deed of
trust rather than a mortgage.
Respond in a minimum of 600–850-word essay with additional
title and reference pages using APA format and citation style.

Week 2 Discussion: Hamilton Depression Rating Scale
COLLAPSE
Top of Form
Depression or Major Depressive Disorder is considered as a mental health disorder that negatively impacts how an individual feel, think and behave. Individuals who suffer from depression exhibit feelings of sadness and loss in interest in once enjoyed activities (Parekh. 2017). It can cause different kinds of emotional and physical problems and can minimize an individual’s ability to be functional in their daily routines. Annually, approximately 6.7% of adults are impacted by depression. It is estimated that 16.6% of individuals will experience depression at some time in their life (Parekh. 2017). Depression is said to manifest at any time, but on average, the first manifestation occurs during the late teens to mid-20s. The female population is susceptible to experience depression than the male population. Some research indicated that one-third of the female population would experience a major depressive episode in their lifetime (Parekh. 2017).
Among all the mental disorders, depression is one of the most treatable. It is estimated that between 80-90 % of individuals suffering from depression respond well to treatment and experienced remission of their symptoms (Parekh. 2017). As a mental health professional, prior to deciphering diagnosis and initiating diagnosis, it is paramount to conduct a complete diagnostic evaluation, which includes an interview and, if necessary, a physical examination (Parekh. 2017). Blood tests can be conducted to ascertain that depression is not precipitated by a medical condition like thyroid dysfunction. The evaluation is to identify specific symptoms, medical and family history, cultural factors, and environmental factors to derive a diagnosis and establish a treatment plan (Parekh. 2017). One of the assessment tools for depression is the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale. In this discussion, I will be discussing the psychometric properties of the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale and elaborate on when it is appropriate to utilize this assessment tool with clients, including whether the tool can be utilized to evaluate the efficacy of psychopharmacologic medications.
The Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) was introduced in early 1960. It has been considered as a gold standard in depression studies and a preferred scale in the evaluation of depression treatment. It is the most vastly utilized observer-rated depression scale worldwide (Vindbjerg.et.al., 2019). The HDRS was initially created to measure symptoms severity in depressed inpatient; however, the 17-item HAM-D has advanced in over five decades into 11 modified versions that have been administered to various patient populations in an array of psychiatric, medical, and other research settings (Rohan.et.al., 2016). There are two most common versions with either 17 or 21 items and is scored between 0-4 points. Each item assists mental health professionals or c.

Technet Case Study for Virtualization
Technet is a hypothetical business in the storage manufacturing industry. This paper intend to elaborate the server virtualization concept using Microsoft
virtualization software from Windows server 2012R2. Organization’s Preparedness for Virtualization. As of now, the IT system design is a mishmash of old
frameworks that were obtained through various acquisitions of different providers in the storage industry. In any case, these old frameworks are aging and will soon
need to be upgraded. Generally, these old frameworks support applications that have been in service for about 10 years. The IT system situated in one of Technet
branch in Asia for instance comprise of old servers that have been in service for the last 5 years. These old servers were launched to support production and
productivity applications. The expense for permit of these old applications are presently being inspected to check whether they can be dropped and the
information moved to current Technet Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) applications. Consequently, since several IT related components are potential
contender for upgrading, this makes the likelihood of changing over current physical server farms into virtualized computing resources appropriate. Microsoft
Licensing of Virtualized Environments
Datacenter and the Standard edition are the two license version for Windows Server 2012R2 offered by Microsoft. There is likewise a free version called
Hyper-V Server which is an independent system that only contains the Windows hypervisor, a driver model as well as virtualization modules. Every window
version underpins Hyper-V, which is Microsoft's Type-1 hypervisor offering, likewise referred to as a bare-metal installation, and each Hyper-V server is known as a

Sourcing
After 13 years, Kellwood, an American apparel maker, ended its soups!to!nuts IS outsourcing
arrangement with EDS . The primary focus of the original outsourcing contract was to integrate
12 individually acquired units with different systems into one system. Kellwood had been satis-
" ed enough with EDS ’ s performance to renegotiate the contract in 2002 and 2008, even though
at each renegotiation point, Kellwood had considered bringing the IS operations back in house,
or backsourcing. The 2008 contract iteration resulted in a more # exible $105 million contract that
EDS estimated would save Kellwood $2 million in the " rst year and $9 million over the remaining
contract years. But the situation at Kellwood had changed drastically. In 2008, Kellwood had been
purchased by Sun Capital Partners and taken private. The chief operating of" cer (COO), who was
facing a mountain of debt and possibly bankruptcy, wanted to consolidate and bring the operations
back in house to give some order to the current situation and reduce costs. Kellwood was suffering
from a lack of IS standardization as a result of its many acquisitions. The chief information of" cer
(CIO) recognized the importance of IS standardization and costs, but she was concerned that the
transition from outsourcing to insourcing would cause serious disruption to IS service levels and
project deadlines if it went poorly. Kellwood hired a third!party consultant to help it explore the
issues and decided that backsourcing would save money and respond to changes caused by both the
market and internal forces. Kellwood decided to backsource and started the process in late 2009. It
carefully planned for the transition, and the implementation went smoothly. By performing stream-
lined operations in house, it was able to report an impressive $3.6 million savings, or about 17% of
annual IS expenses after the " rst year. 1
The Kellwood case demonstrates a series of decisions made in relation to sourcing. Both the
decision to outsource IS operations and then to bring them back in house were based on a series of
This chapter is organized around decisions in the Sourcing Decision Cycle. The ! rst question
regarding information systems (IS) in the cycle relates to the decision to make (insource) or
buy (outsource) them. This chapter ’ s focus is on issues related to outsourcing whereas issues
related to insourcing are discussed in other chapters of this book. Discussed are the critical
decisions in the Sourcing Decision Cycle: how and where (cloud computing, onshoring,
offshoring). When the choice is offshoring, the next decision is where abroad (farshoring,
nearshoring, or captive centers). Explored next in this chapter is the ! nal decision in the

– Digestion begins in the mouth
• Salivary glands provide moisture that allows food to
have taste
• Importance of good mastication
The Digestive System
The Digestive System
– Food is swallowed and then moves through the
pharynx and esophagus
– Peristalsis moves food through the digestive
system
– In the stomach, food is mixed with gastric juices
so it can be absorbed by the small intestine
– Most nutrients are digested in the small intestine

Factors in Weight Maintenance
– Stable weight occurs when calories eaten equal those
expended for body metabolism and physical exercise
[OLD THINKING]
– Complicated interplay of nutrients, hormones, and
inflammation
• Metabolic rates differ from person to person
• Ghrelin, a hormone, stimulates appetite
• Leptin, a protein, signals satiation and fat storage
• Insulin, a hormone produced in pancreas
– unlocks cells for glucose use for energy
– cues hypothalamus for satiation and decreased appetite
Factors in Weight Maintenance
What is obesity?
– Overeating is not the sole cause of obesity
– Various methods to assess body fat
• Skin-fold technique
• Percentage body fat
• Body mass index (BMI)
– Can also be thought of in terms of social and

2020/2/21 Critical Review #2 - WebCOM™ 2.0
https://smc.grtep.com/index.cfm/smcc/page/2criticalreviews 2/10
1. Every essay that you write for this course must have a clear thesis, placed
(perhaps) somewhere near the end of the introductory paragraph. Simply
stated, a THESIS (or ARGUMENT) expresses, preferably in a single sentence,
the point you want to make about the text that is the subject of your essay. A
THESIS should be an opinion or interpretation of the text, not merely a fact or
observation. The best possible THESIS will answer some speci�c questions
about the text. Very often the THESIS contains an outline of the major points
to be covered in the essay. A possible thesis for an essay on character in
Perry Henzell’s The Harder They Come might read somewhat as follows:
The protagonist of THTC is not a hero in the epic sense of the word, but a
self-centered young man bred of economic oppression and cultural
dependency. The characters in this �lm have no real psychological depth, but
are markers for a society of consumption and momentary glory.
(You might then go on to exemplify from the text and argue in favor or
against this interpretation: your essay need not hold to only one perspective.)
What single, clear QUESTION does the above THESIS attempt to answer?
2. Each essay should be organized into �ve (5) paragraphs, each based on one
of two to four major ideas, which will comprise the BODY of the essay. Each
paragraph must have a topic sentence, often (but not always) towards the
beginning of the paragraph, which clearly states the ARGUMENT or point to
be made in the paragraph. Following the thesis set forth.

How to Break the cycle of negative Thoughts
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Introduction to Quality Improvement Essentials
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve.

For the past two weeks you have worked on your Diversity Perspective.docx
- 1. For the past two weeks you have worked on your Diversity Perspectives paper (Scaffold Step #4). As noted previously, this step of the research paper is much more narrowly focused than the broad overview of the Literature Review. In this paper, you have used the global issue identified in your Literature Review as the foundation and narrowed your focus to some aspect of that issue that affects vulnerable and disenfranchised groups. You have analyzed and synthesized the relevant scholarly literature and examined how these groups have historically been, and currently are, impacted by the policies, decisions, and actions of others. As part of your research, you have considered various perspectives of your own cultural background and experiences as well as those of others. Using the scholarly research related to your topic, in the Diversity Perspectives paper you have examined the solutions and strategies proposed and/or implemented and you have evaluated the potential equity of such actions. You should now be ready to recommend areas for further study that might result in more equitable treatment of those vulnerable and disenfranchised groups. Your recommendation must be supported by well-reasoned evidence from scholarly research. Remember: you are not to propose solutions at this point! Depending on the number of scholarly sources used, your diversity perspectives paper should be approximately 1,500- 2,000 words, and should not exceed 2,500 words. (Word counts exclude title pages, headers, and reference list.) Be sure you use the Diversity Perspectives Worksheet to organize your ideas. The Worksheet is in Ch. 4 of your Webtext . Compose your work using a word processor (or other software as appropriate) and save it frequently to your computer. Do not include the actual instructions in your submission. (Including the instructions will cause inaccuracies in your
- 2. Turnitin report). Create a title page for your document with your name, date, course information, and “Scaffold Step #4” clearly noted. Proofread carefully and correct any spelling or grammatical errors .
