Rethinking Gender Equality in the Legal Profession’s Pipeline to Power: A Stu...Renee Knake
Today, illustrated most recently by the nominations of Justices Sotomayor and Kagan, explicit bias against women barring their entry into the legal profession is in many ways nonexistent. It has been replaced, however, with more subtle shades of bias that tend to center around often inter-related issues of motherhood, competency, and appearance. The pervasiveness of these three kinds of bias is evidenced in the first phase of our Media Study and we predict that our subsequent research will offer further support.
The document discusses the Declaration of Independence and provides questions for analyzing its rhetoric and style. It instructs students to break into groups and analyze different sections of the Declaration by summarizing one section into a 25-word "text message" and answering discussion questions about rhetorical devices used. The questions analyze truths, rights, sentence structure, assumptions, appeals to ethos, logos and pathos, use of facts, and parallelism in the Declaration.
This document outlines five elements - context, thesis, perspective, audience, and significance - that should be analyzed when studying primary sources in history. Context refers to understanding the time period and events surrounding the primary source. Thesis identifies the main points or argument. Perspective considers the background and potential biases of the author. Audience determines who the source was intended for. Significance evaluates how the source contributes to understanding history.
This document provides guidelines for citing figures from different sources in APA style. There are three general formats: 1) For a figure from a book, include the book title, page number, author, publisher and year. 2) For a figure from a journal article, include the article title, journal title, volume, issue, page number and year. 3) For a figure from a website, include the website title, author if available, retrieval date and URL. Examples are given to illustrate each format.

This document proposes a framework for organic growth that focuses on an organization's values, purpose, and goals. It argues that defining an organization's values is key, as values provide the reason to believe in its purpose. The purpose should then be defined in a way that strongly motivates the target users. Goals should also be defined in user terms to link insights about users to achieving the overall growth goal. Together, clearly understanding an organization's values, purpose defined for the target users, and growth goals framed around the users provides a framework to strategize growth in a way that is differentiated and unlock insights to meet ambitious goals.

Introduction Your introduction should include the following· .docxmariuse18nolet
Introduction
Your introduction should include the following:
· Background information on the topic of your essay. This includes introducing key figures or concepts, as well as providing dates and locations to place your topic in an historical context. Do not assume that your reader knows the topic or the sources that you are using. Always fully introduce your sources, historical figures, and topics.
· A thesis statement. A thesis statement is the argument that you will be proving in your paper. For example, do not make general statements such as, "Phillip II and Henry IV had many similarities and differences." A thesis is a very focused argument. A better thesis statement would be, "Henry IV and Phillip II both faced challenges to the stability of their kingdoms that developed from religious conflicts. While Henry IV was primarily concerned with domestic unrest, Phillip II faced these challenges in outlying regions of his kingdom." You can see that one is much more focused and specific in the points that it will prove in your essay. The following link provides some great information and demonstrates how to create a thesis statement:
https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/545/01/
1. Body of Paper:
The body of your essay should include the following:
· Historical analysis. Do not simply provide a timeline of events or a list of facts. An historical essays analyzes these events and facts to create a strong argument that proves your thesis.
· The most relevant and important information that you will use to prove your argument. Stay focused on the most important information and try to avoid including random facts that, while interesting, might not connect to, or be relevant to, your argument.
· Historical details and examples. These are the building-blocks of your argument. You should include relevant dates, events, people, and examples to prove your thesis.
· Sources. Your writing should include references to your sources and properly formatted footnotes or in-text citations. Avoid using lengthy quotes to insert historical information the majority of your writing should be your own, not quotes. General historical information can be related in your own words. Reserve direct quotes for examples that prove your point or to briefly relate the ideas of a source. Find a way to transition between your own writing and the quote to fluidly connect the statements.
2. Conclusion
Your conclusion of your essay should do the following:
· Draw together the points that you have raised in the essay.
· Connect your points to a larger revelation about the topic that proves your thesis.
· Avoid using overly general statements or making connections to our current time, unless the essay instructions specifically ask you to make this connection. For example, if you are writing an essay on women regents in Ancient Egypt, you would not end your essay with the statements, “Women have played major political roles throughout time. The position of female regents in .

Introduction Your introduction should include the following· .docxmariuse18nolet
Introduction
Your introduction should include the following:
· Background information on the topic of your essay. This includes introducing key figures or concepts, as well as providing dates and locations to place your topic in an historical context. Do not assume that your reader knows the topic or the sources that you are using. Always fully introduce your sources, historical figures, and topics.
· A thesis statement. A thesis statement is the argument that you will be proving in your paper. For example, do not make general statements such as, "Phillip II and Henry IV had many similarities and differences." A thesis is a very focused argument. A better thesis statement would be, "Henry IV and Phillip II both faced challenges to the stability of their kingdoms that developed from religious conflicts. While Henry IV was primarily concerned with domestic unrest, Phillip II faced these challenges in outlying regions of his kingdom." You can see that one is much more focused and specific in the points that it will prove in your essay. The following link provides some great information and demonstrates how to create a thesis statement:
https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/545/01/
1. Body of Paper:
The body of your essay should include the following:
· Historical analysis. Do not simply provide a timeline of events or a list of facts. An historical essays analyzes these events and facts to create a strong argument that proves your thesis.
· The most relevant and important information that you will use to prove your argument. Stay focused on the most important information and try to avoid including random facts that, while interesting, might not connect to, or be relevant to, your argument.
· Historical details and examples. These are the building-blocks of your argument. You should include relevant dates, events, people, and examples to prove your thesis.
· Sources. Your writing should include references to your sources and properly formatted footnotes or in-text citations. Avoid using lengthy quotes to insert historical information the majority of your writing should be your own, not quotes. General historical information can be related in your own words. Reserve direct quotes for examples that prove your point or to briefly relate the ideas of a source. Find a way to transition between your own writing and the quote to fluidly connect the statements.
2. Conclusion
Your conclusion of your essay should do the following:
· Draw together the points that you have raised in the essay.
· Connect your points to a larger revelation about the topic that proves your thesis.
· Avoid using overly general statements or making connections to our current time, unless the essay instructions specifically ask you to make this connection. For example, if you are writing an essay on women regents in Ancient Egypt, you would not end your essay with the statements, “Women have played major political roles throughout time. The position of female regents in .

Writing a proposal and annotated bibliographyMichael Willard
This document provides guidance on writing a proposal and annotated bibliography. It explains that a short proposal should include an overview of the problem being addressed, the questions being investigated, the methodology, and potential sources. An annotated bibliography involves listing sources with full citations, explaining the purpose and content of each source, the intended audience, relevance, and any notable features. The document provides examples of book, journal, database, and web sources that could be included in an annotated bibliography on the topic of how the Iraq war was marketed to the public.
Assignment OverviewThe annotated bibliography is a companion.docxhoward4little59962
Assignment Overview
The annotated bibliography is a companion to the
First Draft: Academic Argument Synthesis Essay
assignment. The purpose of an annotated bibliography is to help you to evaluate sources and determine what others have said about the topic you're researching. In short, an annotated bibliography helps you get familiar with the ongoing conversation about your topic, which is necessary for eventually writing an informed argument about your topic.
When you write an annotated bibliography, you create a list of research sources that you summarize, evaluate, and reflect upon. Building an annotated bibliography while you conduct research allows you to better understand and organize your research.
Assignment Guidelines
Each source in your annotated bibliography should be a source you synthesize in your
First Draft: Academic Argument Synthesis Essay
. Each source in your annotated bibliography starts with an MLA citation and then follows a four sentence pattern that 1) identifies the author and his or her credentials as well as his or her thesis, 2) identifies the medium or genre of the source and evaluates its credibility, 3) identifies the intended audience of the source, and 4) explains how the source can be useful in your research project.
Step 1:
To annotate a source,
first cite the source in correct MLA format
.
For example:
Gould, Joseph.
Citizen United and the Breakdown of Democracy.
New York: University of New York Press, 2012.
Step 2:
Break down the source into the
four sentence pattern
:
Sentence 1 (Credentials and Thesis
): Joseph Gould, a noted journalist covering issues of public policy and elections for the
Washington Post
, argues that the
Citizens United
decision has irrevocably undermined the democratic process of our electoral system.
Sentence 2 (Medium / Genre and Evaluation
): Gould constructs a thesis-driven, book-length, academic argument in the field of political science.
Sentence 3 (Audience
): Gould’s audience consists of academics in the field of political science and public policy as well as public officials.
Sentence 4 (How You Can Use This Source):
This source provides information about the effects of
Citizens United
that I can use to support my thesis, and because it is written by a noted expert it lends credibility to my argument.
Annotations should be written as paragraphs
and should follow the four sentence pattern above. Do not include labels, bold text, or spaces between sentences. These are provided here so that you can more easily identify the parts of the annotation. Yours will look more like this:
Gould, Joseph.
Citizen United and the Breakdown of Democracy.
New York: University of New York Press, 2012.
Joseph Gould, a noted journalist covering issues of public policy and elections for the
Washington Post
, argues that the

the following two questions: What were the goals of the civil rights
movement that developed in the 1950s and 1960s and why did this black
freedom struggle assume the characteristics that it did? Your essay
should analyze primary documents on the injustices the movement sought to
redress, including the diverse motivations that inspired individual
participation & interpret the strategies that guided organized activism. You
should also consider the interpretation posited in the secondary source, At

statement (located at the end of the introduction) in which you establish a
specific position that you will defend in the body of your essay. 3) A
detailed presentation of evidence to support your thesis derived from both
lecture & course readings, with particular emphasis on primary documents.
Each paragraph should begin with a topic sentence that advances your
argument and is supported, in the body of the paragraph, by at least one
primary source. 4) A concluding paragraph that restates your argument and
explains its significance. No bibliography is needed. However, please cite

Critical Assessment of Claims Regarding Management of Feral Cats by Trap Neut...HVCClibrary
This document provides a critical assessment of claims made by advocates of trap-neuter-return (TNR) programs for managing feral cat populations. The authors analyze common arguments put forth by TNR advocates and find that the scientific literature contradicts each of these claims. Specifically, the authors dispute claims that feral cats only harm wildlife on islands and not continents, that they fill a natural ecological niche, and that TNR effectively eliminates feral cat colonies over time. The authors argue that TNR should be viewed as an environmental issue and receive formal environmental assessment, and that conservation scientists have an important role to play in communicating sound scientific information on this topic.
PETA Letter - Opposing TNR of Cats - 2018 01-18 HVCClibrary
The letter urges the Mayor of Albuquerque to address concerns about the city's trap-neuter-return program for feral cats and to respond to resident complaints about cats. It summarizes complaints from residents about cat feces, urine, and flea infestations in their yards. It also describes incidents where cats in the TNR program suffered and died. The letter argues that TNR programs do not effectively reduce cat populations or public health risks and often result in increased cat abandonment. It urges the city to consider animal welfare and residents' enjoyment of their properties in its policies.
Feral Cats - A Problem that Cannot be IgnoredHVCClibrary
This document discusses the problems associated with feral cat populations and the practice of trap-neuter-release (TNR) programs. It argues that TNR does not effectively reduce cat populations and is inhumane, as it forces cats to live outdoors. Allowing cats to roam freely risks transmission of diseases to humans and wildlife, and outdoor cats kill billions of birds and small mammals annually. The document calls on governments to pass laws requiring cats be licensed, vaccinated, and kept indoors or supervised outdoors to promote responsible ownership and protect public health and the environment.

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

A Guide to AI for Smarter Nonprofits - Dr. Cori Faklaris, UNC CharlotteCori Faklaris
Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.
