The Search Institute has identified 40 Developmental Assets or “building blocks” of healthy development for young people. These have been broken down in to eight broad categories, and then identified as external or internal values. Using the attached resources, First, using the US Census Bureau’s American Fact Finder (http://factfinder2.census.gov/faces/nav/jsf/pages/index.xhtml), Pew Research Center (http://pewresearch.org/), and the National Center for Education Statistics (http://nces.ed.gov/) websites, write a short descriptive narrative that identifies the general demographic characteristics of your community based on the latest census. Include items such as average income, household size, and other interesting facts that help paint an accurate picture of your community and schools in relation to the 40 Developmental Assets. Next, create a table that identifies the eight categories of human development, summarizes the importance of the asset to the development of all youth, and identify at least one existing organization or support model in your community where students can experience this asset. Include all of the resources that you have been able to identify in your community for each of the eight categories (some organizations may be listed under multiple categories based on their vision and mission). Create a master list of each agency/organization you have identified that includes their mission/ vision statement and basic contact information – phone number, web address, etc. Identify any organizations that are involved in collaborative efforts (local ministerial associations, etc.) Repost your table and master list in the discussion forum. .

This week, you add to your Scholar-Practitioner Project by identifying assets and creating an asset map for the community you selected. An asset map may be a visual representation or a descriptive narrative. Consider the assets identified in the articles and media and their potential benefits to a community public health program. Think about the qualities that make certain resources serve as assets to a community, and why some resources may not be of benefit to a particular community public health program. Then, think about the assets in your own community that could be integrated into your community health assessment featured in your Scholar-Practitioner Project. The Assignment (4-5 pages): Create an asset map that includes the following: Describe the primary community assets available in your Scholar-Practitioner Project community and explain why they are relevant. Select three assets you identified. Explain how you might integrate the asset into a potential community health assessment and public health promotion program that would address the problem you selected for your Scholar-Practitioner Project. Use Resources and current literature to support your response. ...

Assignment: Capstone Project Part II: Needs Assessment People often use advocacy to create positive change for society. Advocacy represents the strategies devised, actions taken, and solutions proposed to influence change for the betterment of society. The key to successful advocacy and creating a successful strategic plan is to conduct a needs assessment to determine the needs or priorities for a given agency, organization, or community. A needs assessment is a systematic way of determining the gap between what an agency, organization, or community has and what is desired to meet the needs of individuals, groups, communities, or societies. The needs assessment will reveal whether there may be unmet services. It can then provide information about those needs and help inform your planning to meet them. The needs assessment also consists of planning who you need to target, how you will effectively gather new data, and/or how you will use existing data to inform your planning decisions. To prepare: Think about the needs of the agency, organization, or community that you identified as being the focus for your strategic plan. Consider how you might collect data from stakeholders regarding met and unmet needs. The Assignment (2 pages): My Organization is The United Nations Environmental Protection Outline/describe steps you would take to conduct a needs assessment. State which stakeholders you would contact and why you would contact each. Develop a stakeholder survey related to your professional or societal issue. The survey must be at least 10 questions. Provide a justification for each question on the survey. Provide a rationale for the type/format of questions on the survey. State how you would vary items on the survey based on the role of the stakeholders who would complete it (administration, leadership, staff, recipient of surveys). Required Readings Homan, M. S.

PSY 638 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric Overview The final project for this course is the creation of a grant proposal. The assessment for this course will be the construction of a grant proposal that targets a current area of developmental, behavioral, or diagnostic need for children or adolescents in your community. The final project represents an authentic demonstration of competency, because it requires you to apply concepts from across the child and adolescent curriculum to compose an original grant proposal for a theoretically supported, age-specific, and effective intervention program. Terms commonly used in grant proposals include problem identification, prevalence, assessment of resources, impact of the problem, and implementation plan. The meaning of these grant terms is revealed in the critical elements listed in the prompt, in which you will be asked to devise a grant proposal that one would submit in the field of psychology. Grant proposals could be submitted for funding for research, training, institutional upgrades, nonprofit center grants, funding opportunities, grants for children’s programs, or grants for specific outreach programs such as engaging underrepresented cultures. The purpose of this task is to assess your understanding of concepts from across the child and adolescent curriculum. Some real-world examples of grant proposal ideas have included:  School/Educational Setting Orchard Middle School has over 50 at-risk students with a reading performance that directly affects their overall self-esteem and negative behavior issues. The school submitted a grant proposal to support development of a program to help all students with poor reading skills learn to read at grade level and increase their reading speed, comprehension, and reading attention span and overall sense of worth, esteem, and achievement. Studies have shown those who do better in school, fare better with stable mental health.  Outpatient Mental Health The Open Arms Family Center requested a grant in the amount of $250,000 to contribute to the start-up funds for a family homeless shelter and mental health services. As an innovative, all-inclusive shelter program, the center aimed to provide for 10 families with children under the age of five who are experiencing homelessness. The center is committed to its mission of decreasing the overall number of homeless families in the Metro Boston area as well as working to break the cycle of homelessness.  Community Outreach The purpose of Healthy Tomorrows is to stimulate innovative community-based programs that employ prevention strategies to promote access to health care for children and their families nationwide. HTPCP funding supports direct-service projects, not research projects. Healthy Tomorrows is designed to support family-centered initiatives that implement innovative approaches for focusing resources to promote community; define preventive child health and ...

Introductory Principles of Social Work Research Bruce A. Thyer The scientific approach to unsolved problems is the only one which contains any hope of learning to deal with the unknown. A -Bertha Capen Reyno lds (1942, p . 20) n emphasis on the value of scientific research has always characterized professional social work education and practice. Indeed, this emphasis is one of the hallmarks that distinguishes genuinely "professional" services from other forms of private/public philanthropy and charity and the provision of social care motivated by religious, familial, altruistic, or philosophical reasons. In the history of social work in )Jorth America and Great Britain, as well as in other European nations, the system of poor laws and other rel- atively unsystematic attempts to care for the destitute gave rise during the latter part of the 19th century to an orientation labeled scientific philanthropy. Coincident with the emergence of "friendly visiting;' settlement houses, formalized academic train ing, and ot her prec ursors to the professionalization of social work, the development of charitable se rvices gui ded h y a sc ienti fic orienta ti o n has evolved to the present day.

A growing sense of professional identity moreover demanded a strict delin- eation bet.ween the social worker and the social agency volunteer. Differentiating the former from the latter was a scientific knowledge base and specialized skills which were the social worker's alone. (p. 304, italics added) Such a transition can be said to characterize the. majority of social work programs across orth America by the early part of the 20th century.

For example, you may have one activity which enhances cognitive and psychosocial development and a second activity which enhances physical development. In addition to identifying these activities, you will demonstrate a foundational knowledge of children's developmental continuum by explaining your reasoning for choosing each activity in each age group, based on your analysis of theory and current child development research. Additionally, you will go “shopping” for at least 1 age-appropriate game, toy, picture, or other “play” item for the activities in each age group. Keep in mind that this may include things like art, music, technology, or safety tools as you deem fit. For each item that you propose, you will provide a link to a website from which the item can be purchased by the city, as well as an explanation for why the city should purchase the item, informed by research and theory. You will utilize the PSY104 Written Proposal template to create your Final Project outline. Enter the requested information on the title page where indicated. Where you find the text “This is where you will…” within the proposal, please remove that and enter your own content. The headings in bold and the outline formatting with numbers and letters should not be altered. In your Written Proposal, you must include the following: Please complete each section of the template including the information requested. Within section “iv” for each room, you will be asked to justify your activities and items by analyzing interactions of the major themes: Health and Well-Being, Family and Parenting, Education, Culture and Gender as factors influencing the developmental physical, cognitive and psychosocial pathways. Your written proposal must address how you have accounted for each of these themes in its associated room as they relate to physical, cognitive, and psychosocial development. Each theme must be included in at least one room, and each room must address one or more themes. (Please see these samples for ways to explain how you have accounted for this.)

Where is the Money for Women’s Rights? (WITM) is a multi-year action-research initiative founded in 2004 to gain a better understanding of funding trends for women’s rights work and how best to expand the resource base for feminist movements and women’s rights organizations. The main goals of this strategic initiative are to: - Achieve a significant increase in the access to and the amount of funding to support women’s rights work, particularly of women’s organizations and movements all over the world. - Improve the effectiveness of women’s organizations to raise, absorb and use more funds to build stronger movements and advance women’s rights globally. Following these goals and recognizing that movements and women’s rights organizations without resources cannot be sustained, the WITM initiative has worked to increase the quality and quantity of the funding available for these organizations worldwide. We firmly believe that for feminist movements to do the key work of transforming social relations of power and to contribute to the achievement of greater social equality where all rights are respected indistinctively, they need to mobilize more resources under better conditions. To understand the funding landscape for women’s organizations and movements we have produced a wide range of resources, particularly three FundHer reports that have become key references on the issue of resource mobilization for women’s rights work. The reports are available through our website www.awid.org Conscious of the increasing need for women’s rights activists to access quality and user friendly information on how to fundraise, write a grant proposal or find donors supporting different sectors and themes, AWID’s Where is the money for women’s rights initiative has reviewed the existing online resources to produce this short document containing what we believe are interesting and good quality manuals, toolkits and guides produced by various organizations on how to mobilize and access funding. We have completed this document with four power point presentations produced by AWID. One of these summarizes the results from our 2008 report on funding trends for women’s rights organizations, which was presented during AWID’s 2008 International Forum “The Power of Movements”. A second presentation by Ellen Sprenger introduces some ideas on how feminist organizations can measure success, and the dilemmas and tensions around this.

The standard way to conduct quantitative content analyses prescribes that the main researcher should ideally train other people, called “coders”, to “code” the media content the researcher is interested in analyzing in their study. In other words, ideally the main researcher trains other people how to record numerical information about the media content being studied. Why is this a necessary step in content analyses? Why not just have the main researcher “code” the media messages themselves? And relatedly, if there is more than one “coder” analyzing media content in a study, what is the purpose of collecting intercoder reliability data? What does intercoder reliability data do for the main researcher and their findings? 2 paragraphs due tonight .

The Star Spangled Banner was a poem written in 1814 during the Battle of Baltimore in the War of 1812. It was adopted as the national anthem in the early 1900s.

The Stages of Change The stages of change are: Precontemplation (Not yet acknowledging that there is a problem behavior that needs to be changed) Contemplation (Acknowledging that there is a problem but not yet ready or sure of wanting to make a change) Preparation/Determination (Getting ready to change) Action/Willpower (Changing behavior) Maintenance (Maintaining the behavior change) and Relapse (Returning to older behaviors and abandoning the new changes) Stage One: Precontemplation In the precontemplation stage, people are not thinking seriously about changing and are not interested in any kind of help. People in this stage tend to defend their current bad habit(s) and do not feel it is a problem. They may be defensive in the face of other people’s efforts to pressure them to quit. They do not focus their attention on quitting and tend not to discuss their bad habit with others. In AA, this stage is called “denial,” but at Addiction Alternatives, we do not like to use that term. Rather, we like to think that in this stage people just do not yet see themselves as having a problem. Are you in the precontemplation stage? No, because the fact that you are reading this shows that you are already ready to consider that you may have a problem with one or more bad habits. (Of course, you may be reading this because you have a loved one who is still in the precontemplation stage. If this is the case, keep reading for suggestions about how you can help others progress through their stages of change) Stage Two: Contemplation In the contemplation stage people are more aware of the personal consequences of their bad habit and they spend time thinking about their problem. Although they are able to consider the possibility of changing, they tend to be ambivalent about it. In this stage, people are on a teeter-totter, weighing the pros and cons of quitting or modifying their behavior. Although they think about the negative aspects of their bad habit and the positives associated with giving it up (or reducing), they may doubt that the long-term benefits associated with quitting will outweigh the short-term costs. It might take as little as a couple weeks or as long as a lifetime to get through the contemplation stage. (In fact, some people think and think and think about giving up their bad habit and may die never having gotten beyond this stage) On the plus side, people are more open to receiving information about their bad habit, and more likely to actually use educational interventions and reflect on their own feelings and thoughts concerning their bad habit. Stage Three: Preparation/Determination In the preparation/determination stage, people have made a commitment to make a change. Their motivation for changing is reflected by statements such as: “I’ve got to do something about this — this is serious. Something has to change. What can I do?” This is sort of a .

The Staffing Function Learning Objectives After completing this chapter, you should be able to: • View staffing as an organization-wide activity taking place in a complex legal environment. • Design jobs and plan for future human resource requirements. • Conduct employee placement in a manner that leads to quality hires. • Maintain an effective work force through compensation policies and other staffing activities. • Explain how staffing is related to building careers and working with unions. 4 Shekhardino/iStock/Thinkstock Introduction Chapter 4 4.1 Introduction In Chapter 1, we defined management as the process that consists of a collection of techniques used to lead the human resources in an organization to become productive. Notice that a key element of that definition is the human resource component. The people who work in an organization are its most valuable resource, because they convert raw materials into finished products and services, which help generate profits for the business. People also design products and make decisions about when and how products and services are distributed to maximize organizational effectiveness. People are often the most valuable asset of the organization. At the same time, people can be the most expensive part of running a business and often pose the greatest chal- lenges to effective management (Mathis & Jackson, 1997). M A N A G E M E N T I N P R A C T I C E Zappos.com—Strategic Staffing Shoe stores lose one out of every three sales because the customer’s size is not in stock. This factor explains some of the success and growth of online shoe sales. The online shoe market share has reached over $3 billion. Zappos.com, which is an adaptation of the Spanish word for “shoe,” has captured a 20% share of the overall shoe market. The organization has moved into sales of various products beyond footwear, increasing sales and market awareness. New product lines include cloth- ing, electronics, and accessories. Nick Swinmurn founded Zappos.com in 1999 after spending a day walking in a mall looking for a pair of shoes and being unable to find the pair he wanted. His first business concept was to create an inventory so large that the odds of the customer finding exactly the right pair would be very high. Zappos.com now maintains more than 4 million pairs of shoes in its inventory. The Zappos. com business model dictates that key customer contacts are made via the phone center. If a customer cannot locate the exact pair of shoes he or she wants, the center’s service representative will direct the person to two or three other companies that might have the item. Each phone operator is required to exhibit a consistently friendly, upbeat, and helpful demeanor. Zappos.com represents a prime example of a company that effectively completes the staffing function. The overall mission for the organization combines employee satisfaction with customer satisfaction. The quali.

At the end of the module, students should be able to: · Explain "southernization" · Compare and contrast the rise and spread of the world's major salvation religions · Analyze the role of "Silk Roads" in facilitating the transfer of ideas and material goods across Eurasia Lecture Notes and Key Terms Lecture Notes from the Instructor Rome After People The Roman Empire had its continuation in the east as the Byzantine Empire. But in the west, Europe was shattered by the destruction of Roman institutions. It literally crumbled as people vacated the dying or destroyed urban centers and fled to the country and simpler rural lifeways. In onsite classes, I like to show the History Channel program called Life After People to demonstrate what it must have felt like to watch a sophisticated complex urban civilization devolve back to nature in the post-classical era. It uses Computer-Generated Imaging to show that, in a scenario where people are removed, time destroys the icons of our complex industrial civilization. Vines tear apart skyscrapers and algae clogs Hoover Dam. The lights go out and nature and wildlife cover the urban landscape.You can rent or stream this video from Netflix. Rome’s collapse sent Europe backward into a simpler, non-urbanized period. Imagine all the complexities of urban life that we’ve discussed – diversified roles, complex religions and rituals, and levels of classism from elites to slaves – falling apart. The population of the City of Rome itself was reduced from about 1 million to around 10,000. Without slaves and overseers to maintain baths, theaters, aqueducts and other public amenities of urban Roman life all over Europe, these structures and the customs associated with them fell to ruin. Even literacy and theoretical knowledge fell by the wayside. Historians called it the “Dark Ages” because of an absence of writing from this period to “illuminate” for us what happened then. Janet Abu-Lughod in her book, Before European Hegemony, paints a picture of Europe as a virtual backwater in the post-classical period. Not so the rest of the Old World! Trade and commerce, exchange of ideas, language, and culture, and a steady stream of.

The St. Clare Hospital was founded in 1988. In the past few years, the revenues have dropped steadily to a point where CEO James Edwards is considering cost control to improve the organization’s bottom line. Mr. Edwards understands physicians play a critical role in controlling cost, but they do not have a great interest in cooperating with him to sustain the viability of the hospital. Mr. Edwards decides to hire Wendy Jones as the chief operating officer and empower her to cut costs for the hospital. The first measure taken by Ms. Jones is to outsource the interpretation of imaging readings and fire the radiologist Dr. Harris. By doing so, the hospital would save $160,000 per year. However, after two weeks, the hospital sees 18% inaccuracy rates in outsourced reading reports. The hospital might face legal liabilities from inaccurate readings. Mr. Edwards and Ms. Jones want to stay with the plan to control costs, but the physicians are furious. The medical director, Dr. Wiseman, gathers all staff physicians to a call for action. Write a four-to six-page double-spaced paper (excluding title and reference pages), addressing the following: Describe types of conflict identified in this case. Explain conflict management styles evidenced in this case. Propose a conflict resolution strategy to be used. Recommend strategies to reduce cost and legal liabilities. Including an introduction and conclusion paragraph, your paper must be 5 spaced pages (excluding title and reference pages) and formatted according to APA style . Utilize a minimum of three scholarly and/or peer-reviewed sources, including the textbook, that were published within the last five years. .

The Specificity Principle in Acculturation Science Marc H. Bornstein Child and Family Research, Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, National Institutes of Health, Public Health Service Abstract The Specificity Principle in Acculturation Science asserts that specific setting conditions of specific people at specific times moderate specific domains in acculturation by specific processes. Our understanding of acculturation depends critically on what is studied where, in whom, how, and when. This article defines, explains, and illustrates the Specificity Principle in Acculturation Science. Research hypotheses about acculturation can be more adequately tested, inconsistencies and discrepancies in the acculturation literature can be satisfactorily resolved, acculturation interventions can be tailored to be more successful, and acculturation policies can be brought to new levels of effectiveness if the specificity principle that governs acculturation science is more widely recognized. Migration and Acculturation The world is in motion. Throughout human history, people have been on the move, and migration and acculturation have been facts of the human condition ever since peoples of the African savannah radiated outward in their treks to new lands (Cann, Stoneking, & Wilson, 1987; Jin et al., 1999; Stringer, 1988). Polynesian expansion, Phoenician trade, Jewish diaspora, Persian realm, Alexandrian conquest, Roman hegemony, Hun invasion, Umayyad caliphate, Viking settlement, Ifat sultanate, Hanseatic league, and Columbian exchange illuminate the history of successive intercultural contacts, just as, beginning 23 centuries BC with Sargon’s expansion of Akkad across the Fertile Crescent, Egyptian, Kushite, Aksumite, Ottoman, Inca, Mongol, Songhai, Moghul, Napoleonic, and British empires—all intercultural permeations—followed one another inexorably. Indeed, human beings have not ceased migrating even though virtually all habitable places on earth have long since been settled. It comes as little surprise, then, that migration and acculturation are global concerns in our own time. Everywhere one looks, the numbers stun. What in 1990 was 154 million and in 2000 175 million, the United Nations (U.N.) Population Division reported that as of 2015 nearly 245 million people live outside the country of their birth or citizenship. That translates into roughly 1 in every 30 people on the face of the globe (United Nations, 2016). Address correspondence to: Dr. Marc H.

The Sony Pictures Entertainment Hack The Problem On November 24, 2014, a hacker group called the “Guardians of Peace” or GOP successfully attacked Sony Pictures Entertainment (www.sonypictures.com; SPE). The attackers obtained personally identifiable information about 47,000 current and former SPE employees and their dependents. These materials included numerous sensitive e-mails among top SPE executives concerning actors, financial deals, and creative disagreements; executive salaries; and complete copies of unreleased Sony films. The information included names, addresses, social security numbers, driver's license numbers, passport numbers, bank account information, credit card information used for corporate travel and expenses, usernames and passwords, and compensation and other employment-related information. The hackers claimed to have stolen more than 100 terabytes of data from SPE. The GOP initially released the most damaging information over the Internet. This information consisted of digital copies of SPE films that had been released (e.g., Fury) or were yet to be released (e.g., Annie). In addition, the attackers announced they would continue to release more interesting SPE information. Although the specific motives for the attack had not been revealed as of mid- 2016, the hack has been linked to the planned release of the SPE film The Interview. In this movie, producers of a tabloid television show learn that North Korea's leader, Kim Jong Un, is a big fan of the show, and they set up an interview with him. While the show's team is preparing for the interview, the CIA recruits them to assassinate Kim Jong Un. Prior to the Sony hack, North Korean officials had expressed concerns about the film to the United Nations. The officials stated that “to allow the production and distribution of such a film on the assassination of an incumbent head of a sovereign state should be regarded as the most undisguised sponsoring of terrorism as well as an act of war.” On December 16, 2014, the GOP mentioned The Interview by name, and they threatened to take terrorist actions against the film's New York City premiere at Sunshine Cinema on December 18. The GOP also threatened similar actions on the film's America-wide release date of December 25 (Christmas). On December 18, two messages allegedly from the GOP appeared. The first claimed that the GOP would not release any further information if SPE agreed not to release The Interview and to remove it completely from the Internet. The second http://www.sonypictures.com/ stated that SPE had “suffered enough” and it could release the film, but only if Kim Jong Un's death scene was not “too happy.” In the aftermath of the attack, the studio was forced to use fax machines, to communicate through hard-copy posted messages, and to pay its employees with paper checks. Employees worked with pen and paper, and shops located on Sony property accepted only cash. .

The “soul friendships” can be difficult to cultivate. As it states in the chapter, they can take time to develop, but usually there is some sort of commonality between the two people in which the friendship can develop into one of the soul. The example in the chapter in which Mark Vernon uses for this is between Montaigne and La Boetie. Montaigne is said to state that individuals that are capable of soul friendship are rare and thus the soul friendship even rarer. He goes on to say that they are a force of destiny. However, Mark Vernon points out that the friendship in which Montaigne and La Boetie formed was based off of timing and the period in which the lived. Both had similar, and dangerous points of view for the time, so when the met their friendship already had a foundation to built upon. This is an important aspect for the development of a friendship of the soul because without some form of commonality in where mutual respect is given the friendship cannot develop into something deeper. The author also uses Emerson and Fuller as an example, even all Emerson uses the “phrase divine friendship.” When they firs met Emerson did not initially take a liking to her, however he soon had a great respect for her because of her mind. This then laid a common ground and mutual respect was able to form and then deepen into a friendship of the soul. I think it is important for friends of the soul to have a foundation of mutual respect, and by having this they are less inclined to be upset or the friendship failing when the other person is completely honest with them. In fact, that should be something that is welcomed, because they respect each other to such a degree that it goes beyond petty indifferences. I can say that I have one such friend, I may not call our friendship a “soul friendship” but it is close. I respect him and he respects me and we have always been able to be honest with each other. It is a friendship where, although there is still and element of self-loving, we can see past our differences and in a way that makes the friendship more meaningful. The reason I say this is that I can count on him to real me back in when I am being a little stubborn, or when I cannot see the truth of a matter because I am blinded by some emotion. The key to is to be honest and respectful and to understand that difference of opinions is what makes the friendship more than just someone I can be around and be polite to. References Vernon, M. (2010). The Meaning Friendship. New York : Palgrave Macmillian. .

The song is black holes by the Renee Rosnes Quintet Contemporary jazz reflects both its past and the current music scene in general. Some artists are more traditional and are attached to older styles, while others stretch jazz to a place that is not necessarily even recognizable to many as jazz. R&B styles and musical styles from around the world have become common as part of the jazz language. Though this kind of genre mixing has been around in jazz for a long time, jazz today has its own sound and styles. 400 words Essay Topic: After reading Chapter 15 and going through the listening examples, as well as seeking out other recordings mentioned throughout the chapter, write an essay in five parts: 1a. Choose one recording form Chapter 15 that you particularly like. Discuss the recording in detail. 1b. Discuss the one thing that stands out the most to you in the recording in detail. 2a.
