The commonly told story of the Jersey Devil being born from a woman's thirteenth childbirth is not based in reality. Rather, the legend of the Jersey Devil originated from colonial-era political intrigues, religious disputes among Quakers, almanac publishing, a cross-dressing royal governor, concerns over family reputations, and Benjamin Franklin's involvement. The document aims to debunk the traditional tale and explain the true historical roots that spawned the Jersey Devil myth.

Education

Most skeptics and students of the outré know the story of the
Jersey Devil. Sometime in the early part of the eighteenth
century in the New Jersey forest called the Pine Barrens, a
woman known as Mother Leeds gave birth to her thirteenth
child and cried out, “Oh, let this one be a devil!” The “child”
arrived with horse-like head and bat-like wings. It yelped
menacingly and flew up and out of the chimney, disappearing
into the dark to spend the centuries accosting anyone
unfortunate enough to encounter it. The commonly held story of
the Jersey Devil bears no resemblance to any sort of reality,
however. The story is one born not of a blaspheming mother,
but of colonial era political intrigues, Quaker religious in-
fighting, almanac publishing, a cross-dressing royal governor,
family reputations, and Benjamin Franklin.

TOPIC 6: NEGOTIATION Negotiation is a highly important personal and professional skill which presents itself with numerous challenges. Understanding how to successfully negotiate with a variety of persons is important for effective communication across a variety of contexts. Complete both part one and part two of this assignment. Part One: Role Play Directions : choose ONE of the scenarios from the attached "Negotiation Scenarios" document, or an alternative scenario approved by your instructor. To successfully do your negotiation, follow the Seven Elements of Principled Negotiation found in the textbook and use those during your selected "Negotiation Scenario." For this assignment, you will serve as the initiating party of the negotiation. The objective is to gain a better understanding of the negotiation process and how each step functions. You will need to solicit the help of one person. This person will take on the role of the adversarial party in your selected scenario. One Volunteer Please solicit the help of one volunteer, this can be a friend, family member, or classmate. This volunteer will help you role play the negotiation scenario. Share your selected scenario with the volunteer and inform them that there is no verbatim script, so they are encouraged to behave the way they feel the participant would in a real negotiation. Encourage your volunteer to approach this in a serious and realistic fashion when advocating for their assigned position. The provided scenarios should require about 20 minutes of your volunteers time in order to properly address the negotiation. *To help orient your instructor, state the role you took and the goals you set out with in your essay. Additionally, include the name of your volunteer in your essay. Part Two: Essay After conducting the negotiation, write a 1,250-1,750-word paper that discusses your experience and cites at least four credible and authoritative references. In your paper, analyze and reflect on your experience negotiating using the Seven Principles of Negotiation. Consider the following prompts: 1. Were you able to focus on the relationship or did it become competitive? 2. What elements of communication were you able to attend to and which did you struggle the most with? 3. Did you remain on the interest or did it get personal? 4. What options did you generate for the outcome? 5. What were your solution criteria? 6. Did you achieve your desired outcome or use the BATNA? 7. Was the commitment fair and realistic? How so? 8. How might this negotiation have been different if it were real and not a role play? This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

Topic 2 DQ 1 Qualitative research is a research method which does not use numeric variables; it contributes knowledge or understanding by describing situations within certain groups or populations of interest. Data is often collected through interviews and observation (Helbig, 2018). Typically, when conducting qualitative research, there are enormous amounts of data which must be gathered, transcribed and managed. This amount of data can be overwhelming to the researcher, which may lead to confusing and erroneous results. There are ways to process the information into a quality study. First, researchers need to remain focused on the research question and the process to answer the question. Johnson et al. (2020) state, “Identifying and developing a research topic is comprised of two major tasks: formulating a research question and developing a conceptual framework to support the study.” Many times, the research question is too broad and too vague, which makes processing the information difficult. Additionally, the study should finish with a focused conclusion to help carry the focus through the entirety of the study. Wu et al. (2016) stated, “The process should be systematic (dependability) and well-documented in the analysis section of a qualitative manuscript.” Second, Watkins suggests using the RADaR technique to manage all of the data. RADaR stand for Rigorous And accelerated Data Reduction. “The RADaR technique involves using tables and spreadsheets from general-purpose, word-processing software to develop all-inclusive data tables that undergo several revisions. These revisions, called “data reduction,” help produce shorter, more concise data tables” (Watkins, 2017). This process converts raw data into more manageable and user-friendly format. Using 200-300 words APA format with refences to supporting this discussion Qualitative data has been described as voluminous and sometimes overwhelming to the researcher. Discuss two strategies that would help a researcher manage and organize the data. .

TOPIC 1: Active Listening Skill Set; Assessing your Listening Skills, Barriers to Active Listening, and Improving your Listening Skills First, we will look at "What is an Active Listener"? It’s a great question. Are you someone who while another is speaking is already preparing in your head your next statement? I have had experiences where I was talking to a person who was not listening at all. Some have even been engaged with their phones, pretending to listen. It can be very discouraging! Hoppe (2014) briefly stated: Active listening is the willingness and ability to hear and understand. At its core, active listening is a state of mind that involves paying full and careful attention to others. Avoiding premature judgment, reflecting understanding, clarifying information, summarizing and sharing are the steps to great listening. By learning and committing to these skills and behaviors, leaders can become more active listeners and, over time, improve their ability to lead. Listening with your heart. I am still learning to do this. Yeshua listened to others with His heart. "Yeshua who was a great teacher listened without prejudice. There is an example where we can especially see His interaction with the woman at the well (Jn. 4:4-42 NIV). Despite culture, gender, racial, and moral strikes against her, Yeshua lovingly interacted with her … both listening and talking" ( taken from Train Christian Leaders website ) Humphries (2012) expands on this…. Emotional listening involves a range of qualities: politeness, political intelligence, an awareness of verbal and non-verbal cues, and a willingness to make the exchange enjoyable. (Humphrey, 2012, p. 55) Learning Activities Activity 3:1 My Listening Skills Complete the following activities to learn about and assess your listening skills: a) Reading: Read Hoppe, M. (2014). Active Listening: Improve Your Ability to Listen and Lead. b) Active Listening Assessment: Read the questions given and answer them by rating yourself on your listening behaviors towards others. c) How to Improve Your Listening Skills After taking the self-assessment. If you gave yourself a 4 or 5 rating on any question, you will find that item on pages 16 through 20 (Note: pages may differ with e-books ). HOMEWORK Submit your Self Assessment to the Dropbox below due Saturday, May 13th 2021. Activity 3:2 Levels of Listening Leadership communication is not only about what you say, it’s about how you respond to others. Your listening skills are crucial to your ability to understand and respond to thinking that may be different from your own. All leaders must cultivate their listening on three levels: LISTEN PHYSICALLY Be present. You must be “in the moment” to connect with others. Use open body language and eye contact to create rapport. Eliminate physical distractions such as laptops, phones, and papers. LISTEN MENTALLY Stay with the speaker—rather than skipping ahead in your mind. Paraphrase and mi.

Topic 1: How Does Transcultural Nursing Theory Fit? Transcultural nursing theory is also called the culture care theory. With this in mind, explain how you plan to incorporate the culture care theory in your Unit 7 presentation Assignment that is due on Friday, Day 3 of class, and how the theory relates to your proposed policy change in your policy change proposal.please 300 words and it needs to include this policy proposal for change...... There must be at least 3 references APA Policy Change Proposal Section II Introduction The proposed policy change is meant to improve the effectiveness of public laws and regulations and even give information on the public use of funds. Further, it will address the practices of the private sector employment that affects the ability of people to work and make their living above the poverty line and this mostly applies to the youths, unmarried dependent adults. The proposal is meant to make the public policy more inclusive, collaborative and responsive to the interests of the ordinary citizen so as to prepare them for their future life. From the proposed amendment, there are measurable goals that will determine the level of success of the policy change proposal and this will include: First, by the end of the year we expect 60% of unmarried adult children to be independent and live an economically viable lifestyle. Second, by the end of 2018, the rate of poverty to reduce by 19% since the country will be composed of economically productive youths. Lastly, we expect the employment rate in the country to increase by 26% thereby increasing the economy of the country (Dillon, Erin & Rotherham 2009). Policy change options “Do nothing option” is when one does offer no initiative for change characterized by unwillingness and inability to take responsibility or work towards an achievement. Incremental change option is the step of making small adjustments to the expected end results, and mostly it does not alter or threaten the existing structure of the youthful age or alter the current methods of family management in this case of the change proposal. A major change option is the one that will alter the content, structure, the scheme of assessment and the mode of provision of the programs in question i.e. it will entail deletion, addition and replacement to a substantial part of the program or the act of law (Detixhe 2011). Financial criteria Substantive funding stream is the amount of money that is existing independently of others and is in large quantity. Likelihood of ongoing funding is the amount of money that is required to fund the ongoing operation of future developments of a project that is not currently provided for in terms of cash, debt or equity. Ability to meet current and future demands of the proposal is all about sustainability of our society as per the future and the current needs and makes appropriate changes in the way we live (Center on Education Policy 2007).Political feasibility is t.
