This document outlines instructions for a mandatory group project. Students must analyze an example that demonstrates Karl Marx's view that religion can disempower believers while making them satisfied with their disempowerment. The project requires a written analysis but can also include supplemental materials like pictures, music or videos. Each group member must contribute to the project and a description of each member's contributions is required.
This document discusses Jesus' condemnation of religious leaders in Matthew 23. It contains the following:
1. Jesus calls the religious leaders "serpents" and "brood of vipers" for how they could escape hell through their actions.
2. It defines the three Greek words for hell used in the Bible - Hades, Tartarus, and Gehenna - and includes a chart describing death, resurrection, and the afterlife.
3. It lists characteristics of religious leaders Jesus condemned, including wanting praise from men, exalting themselves, bringing harm to others, and being outwardly religious but unrighteous.
The student cut wood into a triangular shape for a doorstop project. Shaping the wood precisely required considering factors like gap length and tool choice, which made it more difficult than previous steps. The student used tools like pencils, rulers, and different saws to cut and shape the wood. Although not finished, the teacher provided helpful feedback and the student made good progress following instructions and guidelines.
1. Most small business owners are ineffective with email marketing because they don't understand segmentation, consistency, and building trust over time.
2. Without segmenting contact lists into relevant groups, business owners send emails to people who aren't interested, irritating recipients and reducing response rates.
3. To see real results, business owners must focus on segmentation, sending targeted messages to interested groups, and maintaining consistent, predictable contact over long periods to build trust with customers and prospects.
How to Use HealthyCity.org for Service Referral & Planning Healthy City
These slides highlight the tools on HealthyCity.org that facilitate both service referral and service planning. The website helps you connect vulnerable populations to the resources they need by providing the largest searchable and mappable online hub of health and human services in California. In addition to this comprehensive resource data, service providers and planners can access additional community data to identify gaps in services, as well as identify areas of need and opportunity to inform program planning. In this training you will learn how to:
- Facilitate case management: Help clients find services by searching the detailed health and human service database of 2-1-1s across the state (*available in 16 counties and counting).
- Inform service planning: Research information about your clients’ communities to enhance program focus and planning.
- Improve service planning and provision by adding your own data: Map data that you collect in order to see the distribution of your clients, members, facilities, or other organizations.
Imagine you're at the pub with your mates and someone says: 'Alright, who's minuting? Have we got an agenda here?'. Or you're at the dinner table with your partner and they produce a legal writ requiring you to devulge 'what you did at work today'. There's an inclination as organisations, to take many of the same approaches we have used for years in more traditional media, into the social media sphere. But the landscape has changed. And our organisations need to be able to adapt to them. If we want to inspire, enrage, or mobilise our supporters through the range of mediums available to us, we have to break down a lot of our organisation's traditional ways of doing things; making jokes on Twitter, having casual conversations, sharing stuff that others have posted (even if we didn't create it)... Our organisations very structures often get in the way of this kind of communications. What can we do to facilitate a more 'human' face to our campaigns, especially when there are serious pressures to continue with the more sterile approaches of press releases and policy briefings?
The student measured and marked out wood for a footstool project in class. They used tools like a pencil, ruler, and tri-square to mark the wood, then used saws and clamps to begin cutting. Working with a partner, they finished marking and measuring quickly. While the student made progress cutting the arrow shape, they didn't finish in the allotted time and would continue in the next lesson. The lesson related to the environment through the use of wood from trees.
Stefan Freitag presented on the D-Grid infrastructure in Germany. D-Grid supported multiple middleware platforms like gLite, UNICORE, and Globus Toolkit across over 30,000 CPU cores and 5 petabytes of storage. A reference system was created to help resources install software stacks consistently. A cloud computing prototype was also developed using OpenNebula to utilize idle resources and attract new users. Lessons learned included a lack of adoption of the reference system and legal issues around dual-use technologies and liability in virtual organizations. Future challenges include merging with the German NGI initiative to avoid duplication and better integrating services.
This document discusses using media for social change through the concept of "mediaptation", which involves both adapting media practices and objectives to create change. It explores critical media literacy and proposes a framework of "dual adaptation", where media and objectives are adapted in both directions. Students are asked to discuss ideas for social projects that use media for change, and to consider how those ideas both adapt media and adapt objectives. The document emphasizes developing a critical, situated view of one's role and considering whose terms are being used when discussing media literacy and civic action.

Healthy City works with community-based organizations to apply Community Based Participatory Action Research (CBPAR) in their mapping and community-engagement work. CBPAR starts with issues and strategies to produce analysis, uses mapping technology as one tool for community engagement and focuses on communities within a geographic location, such as a neighborhood. Using CPBAR in mapping facilitates engagement, education, strategizing, and dialogue among community members--including youth--and decision-makers.
Including young people in map making allows them to contribute their unique knowledge and lived experiences as community residents. Youth can provide invaluable insight and can act as change agents advocating on behalf of their communities.

Editor's Notes
HealthyCity.org increases access to local resources, and supports data-driven decision making and planning by public officials, foundations and community organizations.
DATA & TECHNOLOGY HealthyCity.org allows users to search for local services, conduct research and connect with their communities. Beyond providing free access to the largest database of community services and localized data variables, HealthyCity.org offers the ability for users to “tell their own story” by uploading their own data or multimedia to the system.More about www.HealthyCity.org:Locate Resources: Focusing on one of our key goals to help families find resources through intermediaries such as case managers, social workers, etc., we display LA County 2-1-1 social service resources. We are partnering with 2-1-1 agencies in other regions of California in order to display that data and increase accessibility to resources.Conduct Analysis: HealthyCity.org has the capacity to map community characteristics (over 2300 variables) such as demographic, health, economic, park/green space, etc. You can create community profiles and find gaps in services in relation to need. With the statewide expansion, Healthy City has expanded crime and public safety data, as well as new statewide health data, child welfare and public assistance data. Web 2.0 Features: Users can upload their own points of interest, create their own neighborhood boundaries, and save maps! For the statewide platform, Healthy City users will be able to create online affinity groups and share maps, charts, videos, pictures, and comments with partners across California.
HC.org provides these people with data and technology to support their work within and on behalf of our communities. HC.org helps encourage data-driven planning and inform policy within sectors such as Education, Public Safety, Health, Public Health, Government, etc.
The next two slides show two major ‘types’ of data – point & thematic.
Point data –What we call “point data” is information that we have for particular locations or resources. This is a map of food banks & food pantries in San Francisco. We have detailed service information for social service resources such as this, as well as schools and hospitals. Later we’ll be creating asset maps, so we’ll be drawing from this point data.
Thematic data – This is a map showing where there is a concentration of families in poverty in California. Thematic maps display intensity of information (such as demographic, health, or socioeconomic characteristics) about a region by drawing from the many data sources we house.
Viewing point and thematic data together enables you to get an initial picture of the distribution of resources, while understanding a particular characteristic about an area. For example, are there educational resources in areas with low educational attainment? Is there access to fresh food in areas with a high concentration of people with diabetes?
One of the best features of HC.org is the ability to create a free account that enables you to save your searches, maps & a whole lot more! Everyone should have set up their account prior to the training, and should log in at this point.(Can go in to the following detail later)Save your searches & mapsUpload datasetsDraw neighborhood boundariesStart a Project Keep this information private, share with a group, or make public.
Fresno Food and shelterZIP code 93710
By mapping thematic data, you are able to see a certain characteristic about your neighborhood (any geography). You can look at areas that have a high concentration of people in poverty, then look at the resources available to this population. You may be able to identify gaps in services, or begin to look at the allocation of resources.
The darker areas show a higher concentration of families in poverty
*Just a note: clicking on the tabs (Maps, Data)will give you a clean slate in that room. You can use the “see on chart” or “see on map” links to view the data in the other format. (E.g. if you want to view the data you’ve mapped in a chart and table, just click on the See on Chart link).
Using the Customize tab, you can alter the data level, year, number of classes, ranges, etc.Remember, you can print, save, and email your map.
In order to upload an Excel file on HealthyCity.org, you will need to *Save it as Excel 97-2003 workbook*
