Jobs That Literally Make People Sick
While effective human resource management aims to create motivating jobs, poor
leadership coupled with difficult circumstances can result in jobs that are so
unpleasant that workers’ mental health begins to suffer. Researchers at the
Australian National University analyzed data about working conditions and mental
health in more than 7,000 adults over a seven-year period. They found that the
mental health of workers in the worst of these jobs was no better than—and
sometimes worse than—the mental health of unemployed adults.
The job characteristics that were mostly strongly associated with mental health
were the job’s complexity and demands, job security, the perceived fairness of pay,
and control over the job (for example, ability to decide how to perform tasks). In
highly demanding jobs with low security, unfair pay, and little control, workers
experienced declining mental health. Unemployment also had an impact on mental
health, but it was not as severe.
People differ in what kinds of work they consider unbearable, but many would
have that attitude toward working in an Alabama fish-processing plant. The rooms
have to be kept cold, and they are wet as well. Some people would likely object to
smelling fish all day long. Workers stand for at least 10 hours a day, making
repetitive cuts. For all this, they earn minimum wage and limited benefits. In spite
of these conditions, employers were able until recently to fill these positions with
immigrant workers. But after Alabama passed a law requiring police to question
individuals who they believe could be in the United States illegally, many of those
workers left the state. Employers report difficulty filling jobs such as these with
U.S. workers (Noe, 2013).

Analyzing the increase in pay inequality over the last several years.
After reading J.C. Cunningham’s measuring wage inequality within and across US metropolitan areas, he presented how wages in the US have steadily declined for the unskilled worker and steadily increased for the skilled worker and or top 1 percent in US metropolitan area. The author also presented data showing how wage inequality is either negatively or positively affected within private and public sectors based on employee performance. The author made an interesting statement concerning US economic policies, and how they have impacted wage and pay inequality within the US from the 1970’s until today.
The author used one method or measure to acquire the data needed—the ratio of the 90th wage percentile to the 10th wage percentile, sometimes called the “90–10” ratio, inequality increased by 7 percent in the United States between 2003 and 2013. The study included data from the Occupational Employment Statistics program. Workers within 4 key areas of the wage distribution graph were sampled.
After reading D. J. Hammann, and T. Ren’s wage inequality and performance in nonprofit and for-profit organizations, the authors presented data to show how pay inequality is more prevalent in the for profit area than in the nonprofit area. The authors argue that tournament and fair wage/equity theories play a role in how each area impacts pay inequality. The authors used data from a study of workers in the nursing home industry. The data suggested that workers in nonprofit positions were more likely to be paid fairly or based on their skill level, as opposed to for profit positions and how similar positions are paid.
Finally, after reviewing wage inequality: A story of policy choices by L. Mishel, J. Schmitt, & H. Shierolz, the authors presented data to show how economic policies in the US has had a direct impact on wage and pay inequality on workers in the US. The authors focused on workers at four key points in the wage distribution: workers at the bottom (the 10th percentile, who earn more than 10 percent of workers, but less than 90 percent), the middle (the 50th percentile, or median, worker right in the middle of the wage distribution), the top (the 90th percentile, who earn more than 90 percent of workers, but less than the top 10 percent), and the very top (roughly, the top 1 percent). Based on wage and pay data, the authors discovered that wages for the top 1 percent increased by 156% between 1979 and 2007, and only 17% for the bottom 90 percent of wage earners during the same period.
Each study showed data that presented a steady decrease in non-skilled worker wages and an increase in skilled or executive wages. A difference would be the area of concentration on the study of the workers in the 90-10 study, and the study ...

The authors argue that tournament and fair wage/equity theories play a role in how each area impacts pay inequality. The authors used data from a study of workers in the nursing home industry. The data suggested that workers in nonprofit positions were more likely to be paid fairly or based on their skill level, as opposed to for profit positions and how similar positions are paid.
Finally, after reviewing wage inequality: A story of policy choices by L. Mishel, J. Schmitt, & H. Shierolz, the authors presented data to show how economic policies in the US has had a direct impact on wage and pay inequality on workers in the US. The authors focused on workers at four key points in the wage distribution: workers at the bottom (the 10th percentile, who earn more than 10 percent of workers, but less than 90 percent), the middle (the 50th percentile, or median, worker right in the middle of the wage distribution), the top (the 90th percentile, who earn more than 90 percent of workers, but less than the top 10 percent), and the very top (roughly, the top 1 percent). Based on wage and pay data, the authors discovered that wages for the top 1 percent increased by 156% between 1979 and 2007, and only 17% for the bottom 90 percent of wage earners during the same period.
Each study showed data that presented a steady decrease in non-skilled worker wages and an increase in skilled or executive wages. A difference would be the area of concentration on the study of the workers in the 90-10 study, and the study ...

This document summarizes a study on political participation among Mormon Millennials. A survey of 50 BYU-Idaho students found that they report voting at higher rates than the national average for their age group, though they demonstrate low levels of political knowledge in the survey. Focus groups with students suggest obstacles to their political engagement include a lack of trust in government, lack of political knowledge, disliking partisanship, feeling politics are not relevant, and a belief that individual votes do not matter. The author is developing a website to help educate Millennials on politics.
A Systematic Literature Review Of Sexual Harassment Studies With Text MiningSamantha Vargas
This study conducted a systematic literature review and text mining analysis of 5320 research papers on sexual harassment published between 1977 and 2020. Topic modeling was used to identify major research topics and temporal trend analysis explored how topics changed over time. The findings showed workplace sexual harassment was the most common research theme. 62.5% of topics showed an increasing trend, indicating these areas will likely be studied more in the future. The study provides an overview of the sexual harassment research field.

The next step in the course project is to develop a script that .docxdennisa15
The next step in the course project is to develop a script that you will use to record the narration for your presentation. Include headings for the slide number. Your final presentation should have 5-8 slides (not including title slide, conclusion slide, or references slide). Here are a few tips:
Address all requirements for the content.
Balance the amount of content for each slide. If there is too much content on one slide, try to break it up into two slides or consider where you can be more concise with your wording.
Include citations where needed (e.g., quoted material and paraphrased/summarized ideas from a source that are not common knowledge). Note: When you get to the recording phase - you will need to read your in-text citations aloud, but you do not need to read your references slide.
Looking Ahead

BASED ON:
Hillary Clinton was the only female candidate to governance next to her husband, Bill Clinton. As evident, she was the single lady who got to rule in the 20th and 21st centuries. She wanted to make the United States powerful in the economy, not just politically. She started working on the economy in the earlier days, and then she stepped towards the military gains of the states. This not only worked, but it also created havoc among the nation to have come under the light of a smart lady. The government and the people at first were not willing to believe, but she gained the trust of all. She worked on the affordable care act for the children and helped them dearly. She stood up for women's rights under the violence against women act. Meaning, she stood up for all acts and rights and made sure that they are implemented. As far as being a US senator is concerned, she stood between the war of Russia and the US and made them sign a treaty. She promoted peace, harmony, culture. She was the first lady who stood for the Copenhagen Climate change Accord. All of this not only helped in helping the children, with their lives, education, etc. it helped the country with better people, better economy, better military respondents, peace, and harmonious culture. She is greatly loved and supported by 74% of the world's stats. She has 487.2K followers just on Facebook .
Although things are quite positive, there are a few people who won't agree with this. This is mostly because people have different opinions and mindsets, depending on their different personalities. Thus, there are always critiques and opposers available. Due to Hillary Clinton’s majority deeds that were good in their own way, she managed to accomplish the support of the majority.
The document discusses the Greek play Lysistrata by Aristophanes, in which the women of various city-states, led by Lysistrata, withhold sex from their husbands in order to force the men to end the long-running Peloponnesian War. It analyzes how the play provides an authentic representation of women in Classical Greece through its depictions of different age groups of women, the control women had over their own sexuality compared to men, and women acting outside their traditional domestic roles.
The play Love Sick consists of 9 acts exploring the theme of seeking authentic love. Each act focuses on a different character and their experiences with love. The play uses humor and some dramatic scenes to tell entertaining stories about the challenges of relationships and finding the right partner. The student performers at Desert Hot Springs High School brought the play to life in an enjoyable theatrical performance.

Chapter Summary 278
Imagine suddenly becoming a member of the other sex. What would you have to change? First, you would probably change your appearance—clothing, hairstyle, and any adorn-
ments you wear. You would also have to change some of
your interpersonal behavior. Contrary to popular belief, men
talk more than women, are louder, are more likely to inter-
rupt, and are less likely to recognize others in conversation.
Women are more likely to laugh, express hesitance, and be
polite. Gender differences also appear in nonverbal communi-
cation. Women use less personal space, touch less in imper-
sonal settings (but are touched more), and smile more, even
when they are not necessarily happy (Wood 2013). Research-
ers even find that men and women write email in a different
style, women writing less opinionated email than men and
using it to maintain rapport and intimacy (Colley and Todd
2002; Sussman and Tyson 2000). Finally, you might have
to change many of your attitudes because men and women
differ significantly on many, if not most, social and political
issues (see ▲ Figure 11.1).
If you are a woman and became a man, perhaps the
change would be worth it. You would probably see your
income increase (especially if you became a White man). You
would have more power in virtually every social setting. You
would be far more likely to head a major corporation, run your
own business, or be elected to a political office—again, assum-
ing that you are White. Would it be worth it? As a man, you
would be far more likely to die a violent death and would
probably not live as long as a woman (National Center for
Health Statistics 2013).
If you are a man who became a woman, your income
would most likely drop significantly. More than fifty years
after passage of the Equal Pay Act in 1963, men still earn
22 percent more t ...

The document summarizes some key aspects of the ancient Greek Olympic Games held in Olympia, Greece starting in 776 BC. It discusses rituals like sacrificing 100 oxen to Zeus on the first day and winners receiving olive branch crowns instead of gold medals. The games were held every four years to honor Zeus and featured competitions until being banned by the Roman emperor Theodosius in 393 AD.

❖ Literature Review—Research
Gay and Lesbian Families:
What We Know and Where to Go From Here
Serena Lambert
Idaho State University
The author reviewed the research on gay and lesbian parents and
their children. The current body of research has been clear and con-
sistent in establishing that children of gay and lesbian parents are as
psychologically healthy as their peers from heterosexual homes.
However, this comparison approach to research design appears to
have limited the scope of research on gay and lesbian families, leav-
ing much of the experience of these families yet to be investigated.
Keywords: gay men; lesbians; parenting; families
The relationships and family lives of gay and lesbian peo-ple have been the focus of much controversy in the past
decade. The legal and social implications of gay and lesbian
parents appear to have clearly affected the direction that
researchers in the fields of psychology and sociology have
taken in regard to these diverse families. As clinicians, educa-
tors, and researchers, counselors need to be aware of and
involved with issues related to lesbian and gay family life for
several reasons. First, our professional code of ethics charges
us with the ethical responsibility to demonstrate a commit-
ment to gaining knowledge, personal awareness, sensitivity,
and skills significant for working with diverse populations
(American Counseling Association, 1995; International
Association of Marriage and Family Counselors, n.d.). Coun-
selors are also in a unique position to advocate for diverse
clients and families in their communities as well as in their
practices but must possess the knowledge to do so effectively
(Eriksen, 1999). It is believed that work in this area not only
has the potential to affect the lives of our gay and lesbian cli-
ents and their children but also influences developmental and
family theory and informs public policies for the future
(Patterson, 1995, 2000; Savin-Williams & Esterberg, 2000).
This article will review the recent research regarding fami-
lies headed by gay men and lesbians. Studies reviewed in-
clude investigations of gay or lesbian versus homosexual par-
ents, sources of diversity among gay and lesbian parents, and
the personal and sociological development of the children of
gay and lesbian parents. Implications for counselors as well
as directions for future research will also be discussed.
GAY AND LESBIAN PARENTS
How Many Are Out There?
Unfortunately, accurate statistics regarding the numbers
of families headed by gay men and lesbians in our culture are
difficult to determine. Due to fear of discrimination in one or
more aspects of their lives, many gay men and lesbians have
carefully kept their sexual orientation concealed—even from
their own children in some cases (Huggins, 1989). Patterson
(2000) noted that it is es.

❖ Ethics
Ethical Considerations of Family Secret
Disclosure and Post-Session Safety Management
Kevin A. Fall
Christy Lyons
Loyola University—New Orleans
The ethical issues involved in the disclosure of family secrets in ther-
apy have been addressed in the literature, but the focus has typically
been on secrets disclosed in individual sessions. The literature
largely ignores the ethical issues surrounding in-session disclosure
and the concomitant liability of the family therapist for the post-ses-
sion well-being of the system’s members. This article explores types
of family secrets, provides a case example of in-session disclosure,
and presents ethical considerations and practice recommendations.
Keywords: family secrets; ethics; confidentiality; abuse; safety
A
family without secrets is like a two-year-old without
tantrums: a rarity. Virtually every family has secrets
involving academic problems, relationship dynamics, or even
various illegalities. Secrets permeate the family system
before therapy begins, but with the introduction of the thera-
pist, the system begins to change. The therapist ideally creates
an environment that challenges the boundaries and rules of
the system; this is the nature of therapy. As a result of the
sense of safety within the session, it is conceivable that a fam-
ily member may disclose information that has been hidden for
a wide variety of reasons. Any unearthing of hidden material
will create a disequilibrium within the system. Family thera-
pists are trained to handle the consequences of such a disclo-
sure in session and ethically lay the groundwork for timely
disclosures. Dealing with this disclosure and its impact on the
system often becomes the primary focus of the therapy, as the
perturbation caused by the disclosure can serve as a catalyst to
reorganize the system.
However, not all information is disclosed at the “perfect
time.” In fact, the idiosyncratic internal sensing of safety by
any member of the family may trigger a disclosure prema-
turely. Secrets are such an omnipresent dynamic in the life of
family systems that it seems unlikely that any family therapist
could avoid untimely disclosures. Even in these unpredict-
able moments, a disclosure creates a disequilibrium that can
be productive in the therapy process as the secret and the pro-
cess of maintaining the secret are worked through in an
atmosphere of trust and safety. The ethical question here is
two-fold: What is the therapist’s responsibility in preparing
the family members for the potential risks of counseling that
may arise from such disclosures, and what is the responsibil-
ity of the family therapist to maintain the safety of the mem-
bers after a disclosure?

Family Counselors’ (IAMFC).

This document summarizes competing theories on whether the perceived risk of punishment deters criminally prone individuals from committing crimes. It discusses three main perspectives: 1) that all individuals are equally deterred regardless of criminal propensity, 2) that criminally prone individuals are less deterred due to their impulsivity and focus on immediate gratification, and 3) that criminally prone individuals are more deterred since socialized individuals act based on moral obligations rather than costs/benefits. The article then analyzes data from a longitudinal study in New Zealand to test the relationship between criminal propensity, perceived punishment risks, and criminal behavior.

The document discusses the challenges of writing a persuasive "Take A Stand Essay," including thoroughly researching the topic, understanding different perspectives, and presenting a well-structured argument to convince the reader of one's stance. It notes that selecting an engaging topic, conducting in-depth research, and organizing the essay in a logical and compelling manner are all difficult tasks requiring critical thinking and communication skills.
This document summarizes a study on political participation among Mormon Millennials. A survey of 50 BYU-Idaho students found that they report voting at higher rates than the national average for their age group, though they demonstrate low levels of political knowledge in the survey. Focus groups with students suggest obstacles to their political engagement include a lack of trust in government, lack of political knowledge, disliking partisanship, feeling politics are not relevant, and a belief that individual votes do not matter. The author is developing a website to help educate Millennials on politics.
A Systematic Literature Review Of Sexual Harassment Studies With Text MiningSamantha Vargas
This study conducted a systematic literature review and text mining analysis of 5320 research papers on sexual harassment published between 1977 and 2020. Topic modeling was used to identify major research topics and temporal trend analysis explored how topics changed over time. The findings showed workplace sexual harassment was the most common research theme. 62.5% of topics showed an increasing trend, indicating these areas will likely be studied more in the future. The study provides an overview of the sexual harassment research field.

This document provides instructions for an assignment focusing on analyzing an unethical business person from a 2009 list of the 10 most unethical people in business. Students are instructed to select one individual from the list, research their unethical actions, and analyze factors that may have contributed to the behavior using two specified research articles on diversity and ethical decision making. The paper should justify influencing factors, relate the decision to a model of ethical decision making, and suggest how the behavior could have been prevented by removing influencing factors.

The next step in the course project is to develop a script that .docxdennisa15
The next step in the course project is to develop a script that you will use to record the narration for your presentation. Include headings for the slide number. Your final presentation should have 5-8 slides (not including title slide, conclusion slide, or references slide). Here are a few tips:
Address all requirements for the content.
Balance the amount of content for each slide. If there is too much content on one slide, try to break it up into two slides or consider where you can be more concise with your wording.
Include citations where needed (e.g., quoted material and paraphrased/summarized ideas from a source that are not common knowledge). Note: When you get to the recording phase - you will need to read your in-text citations aloud, but you do not need to read your references slide.
Looking Ahead
Practice reading their script now so that you will be ready to record by Week 8. You may use PowerPoint or another method (mp4 file) approved by your instructor.

BASED ON:
Hillary Clinton was the only female candidate to governance next to her husband, Bill Clinton. As evident, she was the single lady who got to rule in the 20th and 21st centuries. She wanted to make the United States powerful in the economy, not just politically. She started working on the economy in the earlier days, and then she stepped towards the military gains of the states. This not only worked, but it also created havoc among the nation to have come under the light of a smart lady. The government and the people at first were not willing to believe, but she gained the trust of all. She worked on the affordable care act for the children and helped them dearly. She stood up for women's rights under the violence against women act. Meaning, she stood up for all acts and rights and made sure that they are implemented. As far as being a US senator is concerned, she stood between the war of Russia and the US and made them sign a treaty. She promoted peace, harmony, culture. She was the first lady who stood for the Copenhagen Climate change Accord. All of this not only helped in helping the children, with their lives, education, etc. it helped the country with better people, better economy, better military respondents, peace, and harmonious culture. She is greatly loved and supported by 74% of the world's stats. She has 487.2K followers just on Facebook .
Although things are quite positive, there are a few people who won't agree with this. This is mostly because people have different opinions and mindsets, depending on their different personalities. Thus, there are always critiques and opposers available. Due to Hillary Clinton’s majority deeds that were good in their own way, she managed to accomplish the support of the majority.
The document discusses the Greek play Lysistrata by Aristophanes, in which the women of various city-states, led by Lysistrata, withhold sex from their husbands in order to force the men to end the long-running Peloponnesian War. It analyzes how the play provides an authentic representation of women in Classical Greece through its depictions of different age groups of women, the control women had over their own sexuality compared to men, and women acting outside their traditional domestic roles.
The play Love Sick consists of 9 acts exploring the theme of seeking authentic love. Each act focuses on a different character and their experiences with love. The play uses humor and some dramatic scenes to tell entertaining stories about the challenges of relationships and finding the right partner. The student performers at Desert Hot Springs High School brought the play to life in an enjoyable theatrical performance.

Chapter Summary 278
Imagine suddenly becoming a member of the other sex. What would you have to change? First, you would probably change your appearance—clothing, hairstyle, and any adorn-
ments you wear. You would also have to change some of
your interpersonal behavior. Contrary to popular belief, men
talk more than women, are louder, are more likely to inter-
rupt, and are less likely to recognize others in conversation.
Women are more likely to laugh, express hesitance, and be
polite. Gender differences also appear in nonverbal communi-
cation. Women use less personal space, touch less in imper-
sonal settings (but are touched more), and smile more, even
when they are not necessarily happy (Wood 2013). Research-
ers even find that men and women write email in a different
style, women writing less opinionated email than men and
using it to maintain rapport and intimacy (Colley and Todd
2002; Sussman and Tyson 2000). Finally, you might have
to change many of your attitudes because men and women
differ significantly on many, if not most, social and political
issues (see ▲ Figure 11.1).
If you are a woman and became a man, perhaps the
change would be worth it. You would probably see your
income increase (especially if you became a White man). You
would have more power in virtually every social setting. You
would be far more likely to head a major corporation, run your
own business, or be elected to a political office—again, assum-
ing that you are White. Would it be worth it? As a man, you
would be far more likely to die a violent death and would
probably not live as long as a woman (National Center for
Health Statistics 2013).
If you are a man who became a woman, your income
would most likely drop significantly. More than fifty years
after passage of the Equal Pay Act in 1963, men still earn
22 percent more t ...

As millennials continue to advance in their careers, an entire generation is poised to enter new leadership roles, and many of these roles will be filled by women. With this U.S. presidential election, America is preparing to potentially welcome its first female president.
So it’s a perfect time to explore an important question: How do millennials view women in leadership roles? Will this be the generation that creates more equality between the sexes?

The document summarizes some key aspects of the ancient Greek Olympic Games held in Olympia, Greece starting in 776 BC. It discusses rituals like sacrificing 100 oxen to Zeus on the first day and winners receiving olive branch crowns instead of gold medals. The games were held every four years to honor Zeus and featured competitions until being banned by the Roman emperor Theodosius in 393 AD.

❖ Literature Review—Research
Gay and Lesbian Families:
What We Know and Where to Go From Here
Serena Lambert
Idaho State University
The author reviewed the research on gay and lesbian parents and
their children. The current body of research has been clear and con-
sistent in establishing that children of gay and lesbian parents are as
psychologically healthy as their peers from heterosexual homes.
However, this comparison approach to research design appears to
have limited the scope of research on gay and lesbian families, leav-
ing much of the experience of these families yet to be investigated.
Keywords: gay men; lesbians; parenting; families
The relationships and family lives of gay and lesbian peo-ple have been the focus of much controversy in the past
decade. The legal and social implications of gay and lesbian
parents appear to have clearly affected the direction that
researchers in the fields of psychology and sociology have
taken in regard to these diverse families. As clinicians, educa-
tors, and researchers, counselors need to be aware of and
involved with issues related to lesbian and gay family life for
several reasons. First, our professional code of ethics charges
us with the ethical responsibility to demonstrate a commit-
ment to gaining knowledge, personal awareness, sensitivity,
and skills significant for working with diverse populations
(American Counseling Association, 1995; International
Association of Marriage and Family Counselors, n.d.). Coun-
selors are also in a unique position to advocate for diverse
clients and families in their communities as well as in their
practices but must possess the knowledge to do so effectively
(Eriksen, 1999). It is believed that work in this area not only
has the potential to affect the lives of our gay and lesbian cli-
ents and their children but also influences developmental and
family theory and informs public policies for the future
(Patterson, 1995, 2000; Savin-Williams & Esterberg, 2000).
This article will review the recent research regarding fami-
lies headed by gay men and lesbians. Studies reviewed in-
clude investigations of gay or lesbian versus homosexual par-
ents, sources of diversity among gay and lesbian parents, and
the personal and sociological development of the children of
gay and lesbian parents. Implications for counselors as well
as directions for future research will also be discussed.
GAY AND LESBIAN PARENTS
How Many Are Out There?
Unfortunately, accurate statistics regarding the numbers
of families headed by gay men and lesbians in our culture are
difficult to determine. Due to fear of discrimination in one or
more aspects of their lives, many gay men and lesbians have
carefully kept their sexual orientation concealed—even from
their own children in some cases (Huggins, 1989). Patterson
(2000) noted that it is es.

❖ Ethics
Ethical Considerations of Family Secret
Disclosure and Post-Session Safety Management
Kevin A. Fall
Christy Lyons
Loyola University—New Orleans
The ethical issues involved in the disclosure of family secrets in ther-
apy have been addressed in the literature, but the focus has typically
been on secrets disclosed in individual sessions. The literature
largely ignores the ethical issues surrounding in-session disclosure
and the concomitant liability of the family therapist for the post-ses-
sion well-being of the system’s members. This article explores types
of family secrets, provides a case example of in-session disclosure,
and presents ethical considerations and practice recommendations.
Keywords: family secrets; ethics; confidentiality; abuse; safety
A
family without secrets is like a two-year-old without
tantrums: a rarity. Virtually every family has secrets
involving academic problems, relationship dynamics, or even
various illegalities. Secrets permeate the family system
before therapy begins, but with the introduction of the thera-
pist, the system begins to change. The therapist ideally creates
an environment that challenges the boundaries and rules of
the system; this is the nature of therapy. As a result of the
sense of safety within the session, it is conceivable that a fam-
ily member may disclose information that has been hidden for
a wide variety of reasons. Any unearthing of hidden material
will create a disequilibrium within the system. Family thera-
pists are trained to handle the consequences of such a disclo-
sure in session and ethically lay the groundwork for timely
disclosures. Dealing with this disclosure and its impact on the
system often becomes the primary focus of the therapy, as the
perturbation caused by the disclosure can serve as a catalyst to
reorganize the system.
However, not all information is disclosed at the “perfect
time.” In fact, the idiosyncratic internal sensing of safety by
any member of the family may trigger a disclosure prema-
turely. Secrets are such an omnipresent dynamic in the life of
family systems that it seems unlikely that any family therapist
could avoid untimely disclosures. Even in these unpredict-
able moments, a disclosure creates a disequilibrium that can
be productive in the therapy process as the secret and the pro-
cess of maintaining the secret are worked through in an
atmosphere of trust and safety. The ethical question here is
two-fold: What is the therapist’s responsibility in preparing
the family members for the potential risks of counseling that
may arise from such disclosures, and what is the responsibil-
ity of the family therapist to maintain the safety of the mem-
bers after a disclosure?

Family Counselors’ (IAMFC).

This document summarizes competing theories on whether the perceived risk of punishment deters criminally prone individuals from committing crimes. It discusses three main perspectives: 1) that all individuals are equally deterred regardless of criminal propensity, 2) that criminally prone individuals are less deterred due to their impulsivity and focus on immediate gratification, and 3) that criminally prone individuals are more deterred since socialized individuals act based on moral obligations rather than costs/benefits. The article then analyzes data from a longitudinal study in New Zealand to test the relationship between criminal propensity, perceived punishment risks, and criminal behavior.

CONSTRUCTING 21st-CENTURY TEACHER EDUCATION
Linda Darling-Hammond
Stanford University
Much of what teachers need to know to be successful is invisible to lay observers, leading to the view
that teaching requires little formal study and to frequent disdain for teacher education programs. The
weakness of traditional program models that are collections of largely unrelated courses reinforce this
low regard. This article argues that we have learned a great deal about how to create stronger, more ef-
fective teacher education programs. Three critical components of such programs include tight coher-
ence and integration among courses and between course work and clinical work in schools, extensive
and intensely supervised clinical work integrated with course work using pedagogies linking theory
and practice, and closer, proactive relationships with schools that serve diverse learners effectively
and develop and model good teaching. Also, schools of education should resist pressures to water
down preparation, which ultimately undermine the preparation of entering teachers, the reputation
of schools of education, and the strength of the profession.
Keywords: field-based experiences; foundations of education; student teaching; supervision; theo-
ries of teacher education
The previous articles have articulated a spectac-
ular array of things that teachers should know
and be able to do in their work. These include
understanding many things about how people
learn and how to teach effectively, including as-
pects of pedagogical content knowledge that in-
corporate language, culture, and community
contexts for learning. Teachers also need to un-
derstand the person, the spirit, of every child
and find a way to nurture that spirit. And they
need the skills to construct and manage class-
room activities efficiently, communicate well,
use technology, and reflect on their practice to
learn from and improve it continually.
The importance of powerful teaching is
increasingly important in contemporary soci-
ety. Standards for learning are now higher than
they have ever been before, as citizens and
workers need greater knowledge and skill to
survive and succeed. Education is increasingly
important to the success of both individuals and
nations, and growing evidence demonstrates
that—among all educational resources—teach-
ers’ abilities are especially crucial contributors
t o s t u d e n t s ’ le a r n i n g . F u r t h e r m o re , t h e
demands on teachers are increasing. Teachers
need not only to be able to keep order and pro-
vide useful information to students but also to
be increasingly effective in enabling a diverse
group of students to learn ever more complex
material. In previous decades, they were
expected to prepare only a small minority for
ambitious intellectual work, whereas they are
now expected to prep.

10 What does a golfer, tennis player or cricketer (or any other professional sportsperson) focus on to achieve high performance? They nearly always give the same answer: “Repeat my process (that is the process they have practised a million times) – replicate it under real pressure and trust in my ability” That’s why Matthew Lloyd throws the grass up under the roof at Etihad Stadium. It is why Ricky Ponting taps the bat, looks down,
looks up and mouths “watch the ball”. It’s
unnecessary for Matthew Lloyd to toss the
grass. There’s no wind under the roof – it’s
simply a routine that enables him to replicate
his process under pressure.
Ricky Pointing knows you have to watch the
ball. Ponting wants the auto pilot light in his
brain to fl ick on as he mutters “watch the ball”.
High performance in sport is achieved through focusing on your
processes, not the scores.
It is absolutely no different in local government. Our business
is governance and we need to be focusing very hard on our
governance processes. We need to learn these processes, modify
them when necessary, understand them deeply, repeat them
under pressure and trust in our capabilities to deliver. If we do
that, the scores will look after themselves.
I want to share with you my ten most important elements in
the governance process. Let me fi rst say that good governance is
the set of processes, protocols, rules, relationships and behaviours
which lead to consistently good decisions. In the end good
governance is good decisions. You could make lots of good
decisions without good governance. But you will eventually
run out of luck – eventually, bad governance process will lead
to bad decisions. Consistently good decisions come from good
governance processes and practices.
Good governance is not only a prerequisite for consistently
good decisions, it is almost the sole determinant of your
reputation. The way you govern, the ‘vibe’ in the community
and in the local paper about the way you govern is almost the
sole determinant of your reputation. Believe me, if reputation
matters to you, then drive improvements through good
governance.
So here are the ten core elements:
1. THE COUNCIL PLAN
An articulate council plan is a fundamental fi rst step to achieving
your goals. It is your set of promises to your community for a
four-year term.
Unfortunately, there are too many wrong plans:
• Claytons Plans – say too little and are too bland. Delete the
name of the council from these plans and you can’t tell whose
it is! There’s no ‘vibe’ at all.
• Agreeable Plans – where everyone gets their bit in the plan.
There’s no sense of priorities, everyone agrees with everything
in the plan and we save all the real fi ghts and confl icts to be
fought out one by one over the four-year term.
• Opposition-creating Plans – we don’t do this so often but we
sometimes ‘use the numbers’ to enable the dominant group of
councillors to achieve their goals and fail to a.

TEACHING EXCEPTIONAL CHILDREN | SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2016 19
In the past 2 decades, researchers
(often working closely with parents,
teachers, and other school staff
members) have conducted studies that
have substantially increased
understanding how to effectively teach
children and adolescents with
intellectual disability (ID) to read. This
research focus has been fueled by
increased societal expectations for
individuals with ID, advocacy efforts,
and legislative priorities (e.g.,
strengthened accountability standards).
Findings from this body of work
indicate that children and adolescents
with ID can obtain higher levels of
reading achievement than previously
anticipated (Allor, Mathes, Roberts,
Cheatham, & Al Otaiba, 2014). Recent
research also suggests that the historic
focus on functional reading (e.g., signs,
restaurant words) for this population of
learners is likely too limited of a focus
for many (Browder et al., 2009).
Research outcomes suggest that
integrating components of traditional
reading instruction (e.g., phonics,
phonemic awareness) into programs
for students with ID will lead to
increases in independent reading skills
for many (Allor, Al Otaiba, Ortiz, &
Folsom, 2014). These increased reading
abilities are likely to lead to greater
postsecondary outcomes, including
employment, independence, and
quality of life. Unfortunately, many
teachers remain unsure of how to best
design and deliver reading intervention
for students with ID.
We offer a set of 10 research-based
tips for special education teachers,
general education teachers, and other
members of IEP teams to consider when
planning literacy instruction for students
with ID in order to maximize student
outcomes. For each tip, we describe our
rationale for the recommendation and
provide implementation guidance. Our
Literacy Instruction and Support
Planning Tool can be used by team
members to organize information to
guide planning. Our aim is to provide
educators and IEP team members with a
framework for reflecting on current
reading practices in order to make
research-based adjustments that are
likely to improve student outcomes.
The Conceptual Model of Literacy
Browder and colleagues (2009) proposed
a conceptual model for early literacy
instruction for students with severe
developmental disabilities. We believe
their framework provides guidance for
designing and delivering literacy
instruction for all students wit.

The Rubric must be followed, and all the requirements met
This is a thorough professor, and she has strict requirements
I have attached the PICOT and the first 10 points (DNP 815) assignment. This is a continuation of that assignment. Please read the attachments
The following needs to be addressed:
Please note the followings: The introduction and the literature review are complete and thorough. The problem statement is written clearly PICOT is clear and very good Sample:
· How will you determine the sample size?
· What are the inclusion/exclusion criteria of the subjects? Methodology: Why is the selected methodology is appropriate? Please justify!
· Data collection approach needs to be clear. How will you collect your data? What is needed here is to describe the process of collecting data form signing the informed consent until completing the measuring.
· Data analysis-What test will you use to answer your research question?
Clinical/PICOT Questions:
“In adult patients with CVC at a Clear Lake Regional Medical Center, does interventional staff education about hub hygiene provided to RN’s who access the CVC impact CLABSI rates compared to standard care over a one-month period?”
P: Patients with Central Venous Catheters
I: Staff re-education related to Hygiene of the hub
C: Other hospitals
O: Reduce probability of CLABSIs
T: Two months
“In Patients > 65 years of age with central line catheters at a Clear Lake Regional Medical Center, how does staff training of key personnel and reinforcement of central line catheter hub hygiene after its insertion, along with the apt cleansing of the insertion site, before every approach compared with other area hospitals, reduce the incidence of CLABSIs (Central Line Associated Blood-stream Infections) over a one-month period?”
P: Patients > 65 years of age with a Central line
I: Staff training and reinforcement of Central Catheter, Hub Hygiene
C: Other area hospitals
O: Reduce probability of CLABSIs

1. I used central Missouri as an example, replace with a description of your site.
2. While you might be interested in CLASBI rates as a primary variable, there are other patient outcomes that would also be important to consider
3. Ensure you can find validity and reliability measures on CLASBI rates if you cannot, we need to determine another question to help
4. How are your two comparison groups different, as they are currently stated the groups seem very much the same, could you state, standard care instead of pre and post intervention assessments?

10 Most Common Errors in Suicide Assessment/Intervention
Robert Neimeyer & Angela Pfeiffer
1. Avoidance of Strong Feelings – Diverting discussions away from powerful, intense
emotion and toward a more abstract or intellectualized exchange. These responses keep
interactions on a purely cognitive level and prevent exploration of the more profound
feelings of distress, which may hold the key to successful treatment. Do not retreat to
professionalism, advice-giving, or passivity when faced with intense depression, grief, or
fear.
• Do not analyze and ask why they feel that way.
• USE empathy! “With all the hurt you’ve been experiencing it must be impossible
to hold those tears in.”
• Tears and sobbing are often met with silence of tangential issues instead of
putting into words what the client is mutely expressing: “With all the pain you’re
feeling, it must be impossible to hold those tears in.”
• “I don’t think anyone really cares whether I live or die.” Helpers often shift to
discussing why/asking questions as opposed to reflecting emotional content.
2. Superficial Reassurance – trivial responses to clients’ expressions of acute distress and
hopelessness can do more harm than good. Rather than reassuring clients, these responses
risk alienating them and deepening their feelings of being isolated in their distress.
• Attempts to emphasize more positive or optimistic aspects of the situation: “But
you’re so young and have so much to live for!”
• Premature offering of a prepackaged meaning for the client’s difficulties: “Well
life works in mysterious ways. Maybe this is life’s way of challenging you.”
• Directly contradicting the client’s protest of anguish: “Things can’t be all that
bad.”
3. Professionalism – Insulating or protecting by distancing and detaching from the brutal,
exhausting realities of clients’ lives by seeking refuge in the comfortable boundaries of role
definition. The exaggerated air of objectivity/disinterest implies a hierarchical relationship,
which may disempower the client. Although intended to put a person at ease, this can come
across as disinterest or hierarchical. Empathy is a more facilitative response.
• “My thoughts are so awful I could never tell anyone” is often met with, “You can
tell me. I’m a professional” as opposed to the riskier, empathic reply.
4. Inadequate Assessment of Suicidal Intent – Implicit negation of suicide threat by
responding to indirect and direct expressions of risk with avoidance or reassurance rather
than a prompt assessment of the level of intent, planning, and lethality. Most common
among physicians and master’s level counselors – due to time pressures, personal theories
or discomfort with intense feelings.
• What they’ve been thinking, For how long, Specific plans/means, Previous

• “There’s nowhere left to turn” and “I’d be better off dead” should be met with

10 Customer Acquisition and Relationship Management
Dmitry Kalinovsky/iStock/Thinkstock
Patronage by loyal customers yields 65 percent of a typical business’ volume.
—American Management Association
Learning Objectives
After reading this chapter, you should be able to do the following:
• Identify how organizational growth is best achieved by an HCO, and state the effect of the product life cycle
on an organization’s revenues.
• Discuss several approaches that an HCO can use to attract new customers, or patients.
• Delineate the premises upon which customer relationship management is based.
• Explain the advantages of database marketing, and identify ways for an organization to use a marketing
database.
• Provide examples of how an HCO can effectively manage real and virtual customer interactions.
Section 10.1Organizational Growth
Introduction
This chapter focuses on how to attract and keep patients through understanding and meeting
their needs. The long-term success of an HCO depends on its ability to attract new patients
and turn them into loyal customers who not only return for needed services, but recommend
the HCO’s services to others. This is especially important because of the nature of the life cycle
for products and services, from their introduction to their decline. Attracting new customers
and keeping existing ones involves interacting internally and externally with patients, analyz-
ing data on current patients, and managing real and virtual interactions with patients. Manag-
ing relationships with patients helps to ensure that patients stay informed and feel connected
to the HCO through its internal and external customer relationship efforts.
10.1 Organizational Growth
Most organizations have growth as a basic goal. Growth means an increase in revenue and
a greater impact on the communities served. Growth also creates opportunities for staff to
advance and take on new responsibilities. While many activities can help an HCO grow, the
most important is the development of an effective marketing plan to provide a consistent
platform for the organization’s visibility and to brand the HCO as an attractive option for
medical services. The development of an effective marketing plan was stressed in Chapter 8
as a basic marketing need for an HCO: that is, to inform new and existing customers of the
organization’s services and to persuade them to continue using or to try using these services.
Product/Service Life Cycles
Like people, products and services have a life cycle. The term product life cycle refers to the
stages that a product or service goes through from the time it is introduced until it is taken
off the market or “dies.” The stages of the product life cycle, illustrated in Figure 10.1, usually
include the following descriptions:
• Introduction—The stage of researching, developing, and launching the product or
service.
• Growth—The stage when revenues are increasing at a fast rate.
• M.
10 ELEMENTS OF LITERATURE (FROM A TO Z) 1 PLOT (seri.docxchristiandean12115
10 ELEMENTS OF LITERATURE (FROM A TO Z)
1 PLOT (series of events which make-up a story)
A 5-POINT PLOT SEQUENCE:
Exposition: initial part of a story where readers are exposed to setting and characters.
Situation: event in the story which kicks the action forward and begs for an outcome.
Complication: difficulties faced by characters as they experience internal and external conflicts.
Climax: watershed moment when it becomes apparent that major conflicts will be resolved.
Resolution: (Denouement): tying up of the loose ends of the story.
B SUB-PLOTS: PLOTS BENEATH AND AROUND THE MAJOR PLOT.
Foreshadowing: hints and clues of plot.
Flashback: portion of a plot when a character relives a past experience.
Frame story: plot which begins in the present, quickly goes to the past for story, then returns.
Episodic plot: a large plot sequence that is made up of a series of minor plot sequences.
Plausibility: likelihood that certain events within a plot can occur.
Soap Opera: multiple stories told along the sequence and spaced to sustain continual interest.
2 POINT OF VIEW (eyes through which a story is told)
C First Person major (participant major): narrator is the major character in the story.
First Person minor (participant minor): narrator is a minor character in the story.
Third Person omniscient (non-participant omniscient): narrator is outside the story and capable of
seeing into the heart, mind and motivations of all characters.
Third Person limited (non-participant limited): narrator is outside the story and capable of seeing, at
most, into the heart, mind, and motivations of one character. Narrator is
objective if not omniscient.
3 SETTING (time and place of a story, both physical and psychological)
D Physical (external) Setting: the time and place of a story, general and specific.
Psychological (internal) Setting: mood, tone, and temper of story.
E Major Tempers: Romanticism: man is free to choose against moral, spiritual backdrops. If you make
good decisions, you will be rewarded. There is a God that is in control
Existentialism: man is free to choose absent backdrops other than his own. If he feels it is right, then it is
right.
Naturalism: man is largely trapped, a cog in the impersonal machinery. He has no real way of
changing his circumstances.
Realism: eclectic view, but leaning toward the naturalistic position. Sometimes good things happen to
bad people, and sometimes bad things happen to good people. That is just the way it is.
F Other Tempers: Classicism: Man is free, but appears to be trapped due to conflicting codes.
Transcendentalism: Offshoot of romanticism, nature is a window to divine.
Nihilism: Fallout of either extreme existentialism or naturalism. Life is horrible and painful. It
lacks meaning.
4 CONFLICT (nature of the problems faced)
G Four Universal Conflicts: Person versus self

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
Jobs That Literally Make People SickWhile effective human resour.docx
1. Jobs That Literally Make People Sick
While effective human resource management aims to create
motivating jobs, poor
leadership coupled with difficult circumstances can result in
jobs that are so
unpleasant that workers’ mental health begins to suffer.
Researchers at the
Australian National University analyzed data about working
conditions and mental
health in more than 7,000 adults over a seven-year period. They
found that the
mental health of workers in the worst of these jobs was no
better than—and
sometimes worse than—the mental health of unemployed adults.
The job characteristics that were mostly strongly associated
with mental health
were the job’s complexity and demands, job security, the
perceived fairness of pay,
and control over the job (for example, ability to decide how to
perform tasks). In
highly demanding jobs with low security, unfair pay, and little
control, workers
experienced declining mental health. Unemployment also had an
impact on mental
health, but it was not as severe.
People differ in what kinds of work they consider unbearable,
but many would
have that attitude toward working in an Alabama fish-
processing plant. The rooms
have to be kept cold, and they are wet as well. Some people
would likely object to
smelling fish all day long. Workers stand for at least 10 hours a
day, making
repetitive cuts. For all this, they earn minimum wage and
2. limited benefits. In spite
of these conditions, employers were able until recently to fill
these positions with
immigrant workers. But after Alabama passed a law requiring
police to question
individuals who they believe could be in the United States
illegally, many of those
workers left the state. Employers report difficulty filling jobs
such as these with
U.S. workers (Noe, 2013).

Week 1
Welcome to New Harbor, Delaware! You’ve come at a busy
time. With a campaign to elect the next mayor starting up, there
is a lot going on and no issue is too small to consider.
Within New Harbor, you’ll find certain buildings marked with
flashing dots. These hot spots contain introductory videos about
five specific characters, as well as reactions to these individuals
from various citizens around town. After viewing all five videos
7. and reading all of the reactions, select one of the five characters
that you find most interesting. You will follow this character
for the duration of this course, and many of your assignments
will require you to make assessments from this character’s
perspective. For this first week, you’ll be asked to explain how
the role you selected fits within the landscape of American
government and public policy, so keep that in mind as you
proceed.
Enjoy your stay!
Samuel Taylor Intro Video
Narrator: Unless you’re new to New Harbor, Delaware you’ll
likely recognize the name and face of Mr. Samuel Taylor. Not
only has he been a prominent businessman who employs
hundreds of men and women in the New Harbor metro area, he
has also served as Mayor for the last four years – continuing a
family tradition of leadership in the community.
Taylor: (sit-down interview) I couldn’t be prouder to say that
I’m a true New Harboran. My family came here way back in the
1870s and stuck around ever since. I certainly can’t blame them
though! It’s a beautiful city that just keeps getting better.
I was born here in 1958. My dad – a trusted banker – and my
mom – a caring nurse made sure I got everything that I needed
here from a proper education to a strong faith. I really couldn’t
have asked for a better childhood so after a few years away at
college how could I resist coming back to start a family and live
8. my life?
Narrator: At the early age of 31, Taylor founded NewHar Health
Group, a health insurance company that immediately found
success and grew to employ over 600 residents in New Harbor
with satellite offices employing hundreds more scattered
throughout the state and country beyond.
And although not involved in politics initially, Taylor learned
first-hand what it takes to be mayor from his uncle, Reginald
Taylor, who served as mayor of New Harbor for a record 5
terms before deciding to retire four years ago.
Taylor: I’ll never forget the day Uncle Reggie came to me and
said, “Son, I’m getting to old for this and I wanted you to be the
first to know (Aunt Teresa had recently passed away) that I’m
not going to run for re-election this year.” And I said, “Uncle
Reggie, are you sure? I know how much the city means to you!”
And then he tapped his cane on the floor and said; “I know I’m
sure! It’s YOUR turn to take care of New Harbor now!” It was
without a doubt quite a moment for me…and very unexpected.
But after giving it some thought and consideration with my wife
and children, I decided that being mayor of New Harbor would
be the greatest honor of my life…so I pursued it.
Narrator: With his popular uncle at his side on the campaign
trail, Samuel Taylor ran for mayor and decisively won with 67%
of the vote. His four years in office have been contentious
though as he has fought to decrease spending in the wake of an
9. economic downturn that has had a large effect on the city and
it’s residents. Unemployment has skyrocketed to levels
previously unheard of in New Harbor. This, along with
increased crime and massive housing foreclosures, have led to
dwindling public support for Taylor in the mayor’s office.
In a political career that at first seemed bulletproof, Samuel
Taylor now appears to be in danger of losing his re-election bid
as natural economic circumstances mix with unexpected
political gaffs to mar his campaign.
Video camera footage of Taylor at an event talking to an aide
near an open mic where he says: “Do NOT let those Peacetree
people into one of these events again! They’re a damn nuisance
and I don’t want to deal with ‘em!”
Narrator: Nevertheless, the campaign carries on.
Taylor: I made a promise to Uncle Reggie that I would not let
harm come to this city and I’m sticking to it. I knew it wasn’t
always going to be easy but I love a good challenge and I’ll be
working 24/7 to tackle the issues and continue to make New
Harbor the greatest and safest city in America for the next four
years and beyond.
Alec Coppel Intro Video
Narrator: Tough times have hit New Harbor, Delaware and
Democratic candidate for mayor; Alec Coppel says he has the
solutions.
Coppel (sit-down interview): The state of the city is poor, plain
10. and simple. For the last 24 years, New Harbor has only had two
different mayors and they just happen to be from the same
family. Now, I don’t want to throw the term ‘dynasty’ around
too lightly but it’s really starting to look that way and I firmly
believe a change is needed.
Interviewer voice off screen: And do you think you’re that
change?
Coppel: Absolutely.
Narrator: Born in 1969, Alec Coppel grew up in Vermont before
moving to New Harbor for law school at West Bridge
University. Upon graduating and passing the bar exam Coppel
decided to put down roots in New Harbor with his wife, Miriam.
He quickly rose to the rank of partner at one of the city’s most
prominent law firms and eventually decided to get involved in
local politics.
Coppel: The process of getting into politics actually happened
very naturally for me. My profession as a lawyer showed me the
ins and outs of the community on everything from people to the
issues of the day. Seeing all of this, I started mentally taking
stock of the things that I thought were positive and the things
that needed to be changed. And it was actually right when my
daughter was born that I looked at the list and realized that the
things that needed to be changed were far too numerous. I knew
instantly that I didn’t want my daughter growing up in a city
where these problems were so persistent. So it became my
11. ultimate goal to make those improvements for her and for all the
children of New Harbor. And running for City Council is where
I thought I could effect the most change at that time so I ran.
Narrator: Coppel has served on the New Harbor City Council
for the past twelve years putting education, aiding the poor, and
environmental issues at the top of his very extensive to-do list.
From initiating a ban on smoking in public places to writing
ordinances that impose massive fines on companies that pollute,
Alec Coppel has become a self-proclaimed warrior for public
health and safety.
Coppel: Nothing is more important to me than making sure this
city is the cleanest, safest, healthiest city on the eastern
seaboard. Period. And my efforts to obtain that goal has been
unwavering from my successful overhaul of the public school
lunch program to the ongoing improvement of access to
affordable healthcare.
Narrator: Alec Coppel’s crusades have not been easy though. As
one of the few Democrats on the city’s largely Republican
council, Coppel has faced an incredibly steep uphill battle to get
many of his pet policies enacted. The last four years in
particular have been contentious ones for him as multiple
disagreements with Mayor Taylor have been aired in public by
local bloggers.
We see a screen grab of a fictional blog, New Harborist with the
headline “Coppel explodes at Mayor Taylor in Closed-Door
12. Meeting” An audio player on the page blasts Coppel’s voice
saying: “This is Bullshit (expletives bleeped)!!! Vetoing this
law will be the saddest act of your cheap political career. I
know you were given this position as a gift from good old Uncle
Reggie but can you at least pretend to give a damn about the
people here?!”
Coppel: You ask if I regret that outburst and the answer is
easily no. I maybe could have been calmer about the situation,
but that’s how much I care about this city. It’s a passion for me
and after four years of seeing a lot of good policies get shot
down to score some political points and help out some big
shots, I just can’t stay calm anymore. I’ve got to fight if we
want this city to stay on the right track and that’s exactly why
I’m running for Mayor. And I’m determined to win - not for me
or my family, but for everyone who calls New Harbor home.
Mary Davenport Intro Video
Narrator: For the past quarter century, New Harbor, Delaware
has had a very routine process of electing its mayor with the
Republican Taylor family successfully dominating six mayoral
elections over light Democratic challenges. But this year, Mary
Davenport is stepping into the ring to take on not only Mayor
Taylor, but his Democratic challenger, Alec Coppel, to become
New Harbor’s first female mayor as well as its first independent
candidate for that office.
Davenport: (sit-down interview) A lot of people thought that
13. this would never happen - and honestly, for a long time I was
one of them - but the time is definitely right to break free of the
partisan bickering that is tearing this town in two and find the
middle ground that can put us on a steady and prosperous
course.
Narrator: And that is exactly what she is attempting to do with a
grass roots campaign that has been taking pockets of the city by
storm thanks to her much touted homegrown charm and
experience in community outreach.
Davenport: New Harbor is my home and it always has been. Ya
know, I was born here, I went to grade school and college here,
met and married my husband Paul here, I’m raising my beautiful
son, Carter, here, and I make my living here! This place is my
life and its given me so much that I just want to give back and
make sure that every resident of this town can have the same
blessed experience that I have had.
Narrator: If you think Davenport looks familiar, you wouldn’t
be wrong. For the past 15 years she has been at the forefront of
a citywide effort to help those less fortunate than her. By
founding Feed The Harbor, a nonprofit organization charged
with aiding the homeless population of New Harbor, Davenport
has aided countless citizens by providing food, shelter, and job
training bankrolled by corporate donations and a tireless
fundraising drive.
Davenport: Helping people has been my life’s work and I think
14. everyone who lives here knows that. What they might not know
however is that my passions extend far beyond the realm of
helping the needy. For instance, I care deeply about the
environment! New Harbor has an amazing organization called
Peacetree that is doing phenomenal work as a leader in cleaning
up the city. I also believe firmly in making our schools the best
that they can be and think that increasing safety in some of our
more dangerous neighborhoods is a priority. On top of that I
believe in fiscal responsibility, balancing the city’s budget,
reigning in some of the corporate interests that have infiltrated
the local government, and instilling a sense of hope that our
best days really are ahead of us.
Narrator: Despite her positive attitude and vast online outreach,
many people have questioned her ability to truly compete for
the office now that both Mayor Taylor and Democrat Alec
Coppel have begun extensive media campaigns online, in print,
and on local TV and radio. And with her campaign running on
very low on funds, doubt remains if the election can be swayed
to someone who has previously only been elected to the school
board.
Interviewer (off screen): You used to be registered as a
Democrat, correct?
Davenport: Yes, that’s true.
Interviewer (off screen): Why didn’t you then pursue the
Democratic nomination? And have you considered the impact
15. your campaign could have on Alec Coppel’s chances?
Davenport: The whole point of my campaign has been to do
away with this party system and to find a middle ground. So I
obviously chose to avoid seeking either party’s nomination
because I truly believe people are ready for someone who is not
on either fringe of the spectrum. Instead, we need someone who
is taking the commonsense, compromise approach to good
government policies. Councilman Coppel has done a pretty good
job fighting for certain issues in New Harbor, but we don’t
agree on everything and quite frankly, his rigid and
confrontational stance on a number of things has probably
hindered progress more than promote it.
I also agree with certain policies that Mayor Taylor promotes
but my goal is really to show that it doesn’t have to be one or
the other. There is a third choice and it’s the choice of common
sense, moderation, and compromise. And I think we’re doing a
really great job of showing people exactly what that means and
how we can ultimately make it a reality with their help.
Peacetree Intro Video
Narrator: Fighting to protect the environment has never been an
easy job but over the years thousands of people have stepped up
across the world in this very effort. Their work, and the results
of that work have been varied but one of the leading lights in
the movement is Peacetree, a far-reaching non-profit
organization based in Washington DC with over 200 local
16. chapters scattered throughout the globe!
One of the busiest of these local chapters is none other than the
New Harbor, Delaware chapter. Under the leadership of
Executive Director Susan McDonald, the team there is waging
an all-out war on a series of issues that are challenging the
coastal city’s environment in a big way.
McDonald (on camera interview): Peacetree’s never-ending
mission is to promote sustainability, biodiversity, life and peace
throughout the world and unfortunately all of those things are at
risk in New Harbor. Improper management of the harbor and
other aspects of city life over the past decades has led to
increased pollution in the waterways, a massive reduction in
recycling, and dangerous new incentives for business that only
seem to promote pollution and waste. This city is on a precipice
and we’re working tirelessly to reduce and ultimately reverse
these dangerous practices.
Narrator: Since setting up shop in New Harbor 7 years ago,
Peacetree has taken a tough stance against the policies of Mayor
Samuel Taylor and his predecessor Reginald Taylor with
protests and an intense lobbying effort aimed at getting the city
council to pass tougher environmental protection ordinances.
And although many initiatives have fallen flat in the mostly
conservative city council, Peacetree has found a strong ally in
Democratic Councilman Alec Coppel who is now running to
replace Samuel Taylor as mayor.
17. McDonald: We’ve been extremely grateful and proud of the
efforts from Mr. Coppel to further our cause and we’re very
enthusiastic about his campaign. In general we feel like we have
reached a turning point in New Harbor where the attitude of the
public is shifting to a more environmentally conscious state that
I find really encouraging. We even have an independent
candidate…umm…. Mary Davenport, who is running on a very
strong environmental platform so I’m choosing to look at it as
two out of three ain’t bad!
Narrator: At this time Peacetree has not involved itself heavily
in the mayoral campaign process, but the candidates are aware
that an official endorsement from the organization could bring
enough money and manpower to position any candidate for a
swift election victory.
McDonald: Politics is obviously not our main focus at Peacetree
but we have a crucial understanding that the kind of change we
are seeking just isn’t possible without the right people making
decisions and writing laws. So although activism and research
are our main tools, we can’t afford to ignore elections, and
when the time is right we’ll mobilize our forces and help ensure
the victory of whoever will be best for New Harbor and
ultimately the planet.
Port Authority Intro Video
Narrator: In this day and age of the war on terror almost no
public agencies have faced as much increased stature and
18. responsibility as that of Port Authorities and the one in New
Harbor, Delaware is no exception. Tasked with protecting and
maintaining the bustling shipping harbor port, the New Harbor
International Airport, the public rail transit system, as well as
all of the bridges and tunnels located inside and around the city
is no small task but director Tad Scott has taken it by the horns
in his last three years on the job.
Tad Scott (sit down interview): We live in scary times and that
has certainly made a huge impact on my job and this agency. Ya
know…managing the people and goods that come into our city
by land, sea, and air is a complicated task regardless, but in the
wake of the September 11th attacks all those years ago, the
complexity level just quadrupled. Maybe more. Security is now
my biggest priority and it’s a job that I’m proud to be at the
forefront of… but it’s never easy.
Narrator: Appointed to the role of Director by Mayor Taylor
three years ago after rising through the ranks of the Port
Authority in a career that spans 40 years, Tad Scott has sought
to overhaul the agency in a major way to combat the evolving
challenges of the modern world.
Scott: I think the community should be feeling significantly
safer than they were say, maybe ten years ago. The strides
we’ve made in getting a better understanding of who and what
is coming into the city have been enormous. I know I personally
feel better and believe without any doubt that this is a safe
19. place for my grandchildren to grown up. But we can’t let that
slide. The Port Authority demands a certain level of funding to
stay effective and a big part of my job is to make sure we stay
at that level.
Narrator: As Mayor Taylor quietly works on his budget for the
next fiscal year; many have been wondering exactly how
prominent the Port Authority will sit when the mayor announces
how he will distribute the city’s tax revenues for the next year.
Leaked reports have claimed that Tad Scott’s budget request has
far exceeded how much Mayor Taylor is willing to appropriate
despite his long-standing commitment to security. Some suspect
that recent complaints of racial and ethnic profiling by port
authority officers has led to Taylor’s reluctance to increase
their funding for a fifth straight year but citizens won’t know
for sure until he makes budget decisions public sometime in the
coming weeks.
Scott: I’ve made my case to the mayor and I think he
understands how important this agency is to the city. A budget
cut right now would be disastrous for the agency and the
community. There would be layoffs, which would not only
increase this city’s growing unemployment numbers but also
weaken our resolve to complete our mission, and that’s not
something I’m comfortable with. So I anxiously await his
decision and pray that he holds strong. You know it can be very
tempting for a politician to bend to the will of what sounds
20. good in an election year but this…this is more important than
politics.
Reaction Points around town
“If I had a dollar for every time Alec Coppel came in here after
one of his city council meetings and got absolutely smashed, I’d
be a richer woman, I’ll tell ya that! Well, I guess I couldn’t say
“rich” but it would definitely make up for his awful tips and bad
attitude. I’m always sure to keep a bottle of his favorite stashed
away if we start running low. God help me if he shows up and
we’re all out. That temper of his is fierce!”
- Sofia Velasquez – Bartender at The Rusty Seagull, 27, Latino,
independent
“We gotta lotta complainers here in New Harbor. I’m tellin’ ya
– no one will ever be satisfied. I got customers coming in here
every day talkin’ about the economy, and the jobs, and the
corruption, and the this, and the that and I’m sick of it! I
personally think Taylor’s doin’ a great job as mayor and I don’t
want nobody else takin’ over! I’m a small business owner and
he’s done right by me just like his uncle did right by me before
him. So, uh, when people come in here running their mouths – I
tell them to get educated and then maybe run for office
themselves if they think they can do better! ...But then I might
give ‘em some extra fries to make sure they come back to my
shop.”
- Vince Sturges – Owner of the East Harbor Deli, 56, White,
21. Republican
“I don’t have a home. I don’t have a car. Heck, I don’t even
have a driver’s license anymore so its obviously been awhile
since I voted. I’ve been homeless for too long to even think
about it and I don’t really care who wins or loses because odds
are I’ll still be homeless… but a friend at the shelter here told
me that the Davenport woman was running and she’d be all
right. I wish I could count how many times she or her people
have helped me out with some food and a warm bed. Not sure if
she could fix me permanently but I guess it’s worth a shot.”
- Kim Turner – Unemployed, 41, White, Non-voter
“I’ve been living in New Harbor for my entire life and over the
years have watched many, many aspects of it degrade and
become, quite frankly, unappealing. I think this is especially
true with the waterfront which has become so polluted and
revolting that I forbid my family from going anywhere near it. I
had high hopes when Peacetree came to town with the goal of
cleaning it up but I’m disappointed by the lack of progress so
far. I know a lot of it is out of their hands so I’ll keep
contributing and press my friends to do the same but we have
got to get Taylor out of City Hall. That is essential. And
hopefully with different blood in there we can properly make
our city and waterfront beautiful again.”
- Vernon Wright – Doctor, 45, African American, Democrat
“Public education should be the number one priority of any
22. community but it shouldn’t shock anyone to hear that it isn’t the
number one priority of THIS community. Year after year we’ve
seen more money from our budget siphoned into the Port
Authority budget and the impact has been a disaster. Our
fantastic teachers have not had raises in three years causing
many to resign or take work in other school districts. If this
trend isn’t reversed with the next budget period our children
will continue to suffer in the name of false security. How
anyone can find this acceptable is beyond me.”
- Jennifer List – Superintendent of New Harbor Public Schools,
52, Asian, Democrat
