Massachusetts has a unique archaeological resource in its many colonial graveyards. These contain a large number of precisely dated “artifacts” in the form of headstones and provide an opportunity for studies of the ways in which different aspects of British colonial and Euro- American culture have changed over time. For this assignment, you will visit a local cemetery of your choosing and use the headstones and other associated material culture to address questions aimed at understanding demographic, social, symbolic, or technological issues in the past. This assignment does not require any archaeological excavation, and your instructor and federal, state, and local laws expressly forbid you from doing any! The project also does not require you to do any additional background research, although you are welcome to do so. Please
respect these cemeteries, the individuals buried therein, and any visitors you may encounter during your study.
You must follow these steps:

20 20
This discussion aligns with Learning Outcomes 1, 2, and 4
Democracy, at its core, is centered on the idea that individuals can, in fact,
rule themselves. This concept is enshrined in the U.S. Constitution as we
know it today. However, early on the American Constitution was not a sound,
democratic document. In particular, the idea of popular sovereignty; that is,
the will of the people, was not extended to everyone. For example, as you
read this week, the framers, for a time, chose to retain slavery in the new
Republic. In addition to slavery, in what other areas was the Constitution of
1788 less than democratic? In what ways has the Constitution, since then,
become more democratic? Be sure to provide examples to support your
claims.
Submission
Our discussions are a valuable opportunity to have thoughtful conversations
regarding a specific topic. You are required to provide a comprehensive

The Constitution of 1788 lacked democracy because it did not protect
the people’s beliefs. Religion influences people’s morality. And morality is
a key component of personal convictions. People’s convictions influence
how they want to be governed and how they vote. The first amendment to
the Constitution provided protection to the people’s beliefs by restricting
Congress from making laws respective to an establishment of religion or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof.
The Constitution of 1788 lacked democracy because it did not protect

• Ryanairs operations have been consistently plagued with emp.docx
• Ryanair's operations have been consistently plagued with employee
discontent and protests (Temming, 2017). Communication between Line
Managers and employees has been tensed, and performance has suffered as a
result. The Company would benefit from the strategic positioning and
interpersonal skills of the Human Resource Business Partner.
• As an employee advocate, he or she would engage employees in dialogue and
ensure that whatever findings are made are brought to the attention of the line
manager promptly to be addressed.
• Also, as a collaborative partner, he would assist in channeling the needs of the
line manager in a way that will be understood and well received by
subordinates.
• Effective communication would eventually lead to mutual understanding and
benefit for all parties.
• It would go a long way in developing a strong company culture where
individuals are not afraid to express their thoughts and ideas. and would shift
focus away from conflict towards meeting Organizational goals.
01 CONSTRUCTIVE COMMUNICATION
BETWEEN MANAGEMENT AND STAFF
02 EFFECTIVE CHANGE
MANAGEMENT
• The Greek Philosopher, Heraclitus stated that “Change is the only
constant of life” (Rothwell et al., 2015). This statement is pertinent to the
rapidly changing business climate (Lauer, 2019, p3) in which Ryanair
finds itself.
• A company’s readiness and reaction to change are important in
determining success. From our current state analysis, we discovered
that several tasks may be expedited and optimized with the introduction
of new technology.
• However, this must be introduced strategically to prevent resistance.
The role of the Human Resources Business Partner is essential in this
regard.
• He or She would determine the need for change and ensure reception of
the change by employing effective communication strategies
(McCracken et al., 2017).
• Apart from a change in technology, other elements that may undergo
transformation include processes, policies, personnel, amongst others.
It is important that these changes are taken in stride so that they do not
forestall operations.
03 FOCUSED TRAINING AND
CAPACITY BUILDING
• The Business Partner would be instrumental in identifying
areas requiring competency improvements (Onen, 2013) in
Ryanair.
• Through a series of activities such as performance reviews
and data analysis, as well as knowledge of the business, and
interactions with staff, the business partner would tailor
training programmers to drive outcomes that matter and meet
the company's needs and vision.
• Doing so would be of benefit not only to employees but to
Ryanair, who would see improved performances and save
costs that would have gone into retraining because of an
inefficient programme.
EFFECTIVE STRATEGY
DEVELOPMENT
• Ryanair would benefit from the HRBP's skills and
knowledge in developing strategic plans that create value
for future business successes.
• He or she would ensure that plans align with the needs and
expectations .

The Constitution of 1788 lacked democracy because it did not protect
the people’s beliefs. Religion influences people’s morality. And morality is
a key component of personal convictions. People’s convictions influence
how they want to be governed and how they vote. The first amendment to
the Constitution provided protection to the people’s beliefs by restricting
Congress from making laws respective to an establishment of religion or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof.

• Ryanairs operations have been consistently plagued with emp.docx
• Ryanair's operations have been consistently plagued with employee
discontent and protests (Temming, 2017). Communication between Line
Managers and employees has been tensed, and performance has suffered as a
result. The Company would benefit from the strategic positioning and
interpersonal skills of the Human Resource Business Partner.
• As an employee advocate, he or she would engage employees in dialogue and
ensure that whatever findings are made are brought to the attention of the line
manager promptly to be addressed.
• Also, as a collaborative partner, he would assist in channeling the needs of the
line manager in a way that will be understood and well received by
subordinates.
• Effective communication would eventually lead to mutual understanding and
benefit for all parties.
• It would go a long way in developing a strong company culture where
individuals are not afraid to express their thoughts and ideas. and would shift
focus away from conflict towards meeting Organizational goals.
01 CONSTRUCTIVE COMMUNICATION
BETWEEN MANAGEMENT AND STAFF
02 EFFECTIVE CHANGE
MANAGEMENT
• The Greek Philosopher, Heraclitus stated that “Change is the only
constant of life” (Rothwell et al., 2015). This statement is pertinent to the
rapidly changing business climate (Lauer, 2019, p3) in which Ryanair
finds itself.
• A company’s readiness and reaction to change are important in
determining success. From our current state analysis, we discovered
that several tasks may be expedited and optimized with the introduction
of new technology.
• However, this must be introduced strategically to prevent resistance.
The role of the Human Resources Business Partner is essential in this
regard.
• He or She would determine the need for change and ensure reception of
the change by employing effective communication strategies
(McCracken et al., 2017).
• Apart from a change in technology, other elements that may undergo
transformation include processes, policies, personnel, amongst others.
It is important that these changes are taken in stride so that they do not
forestall operations.
03 FOCUSED TRAINING AND
CAPACITY BUILDING
• The Business Partner would be instrumental in identifying
areas requiring competency improvements (Onen, 2013) in
Ryanair.
• Through a series of activities such as performance reviews
and data analysis, as well as knowledge of the business, and
interactions with staff, the business partner would tailor
training programmers to drive outcomes that matter and meet
the company's needs and vision.
• Doing so would be of benefit not only to employees but to
Ryanair, who would see improved performances and save
costs that would have gone into retraining because of an
inefficient programme.
EFFECTIVE STRATEGY
DEVELOPMENT
• Ryanair would benefit from the HRBP's skills and
knowledge in developing strategic plans that create value
for future business successes.
• He or she would ensure that plans align with the needs and
expectations .

Pathological Conditions in Older Adults
As one goes through the natural aging process, the body's capacity to defend itself against infections diminishes. The immune system's ability to offer protection is reduced, and the individual becomes susceptible to conditions that affect them more than other age groups (Haynes, 2020). This population also experiences other symptoms impairing other aspects of their lives as time passes. For instance, their skin and bones lose their integrity and become more prone to abrasions and breakage. This assignment module will examine the pathological conditions that affect the sexual response in older adults and how and why nutritional and psychological factors, drugs, and other alternative and complementary medications affect the immune system of the populations.
Pathological Conditions that Affect Sexual Response in Older Adults
Sexuality is an essential aspect of life, irrespective of the age group one is in—the older population and the younger generation alike need to explore sexuality to maintain health and well-being. Exploring sexuality is also a mixture of biological, psychological, social, and religious factors, all of which have plenty to do with aging. Among the pathological conditions that affect sexual response in the elderly include
Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause
These are the changes experienced in the genitourinary pathway as one age. The individual can feel a burning sensation, dryness, or irritation. This can lead to painful sexual encounters, which can, in turn, reduce their desire to engage and their response.
Dementia
This is a degenerative disorder of the mental faculties, predominantly among the elderly (National Institute on Aging, n.d.). Their judgment diminishes, making them disinterested or utterly unaware of their sexual experiences. Some forms of the condition have been shown to increase sex or closeness, but the individual may fail to recognize what is appropriate and what is not.
Diabetes
As a chronic condition experienced mainly by this population, it can lead to yeast generation, leading to itchiness around the sex organs, making sex unpalatable. The situation can, however, be addressed with medication.
Incontinence
This is a condition where one experiences bladder leakage caused by poor control (National Institute on Aging, n.d.). It is most prevalent among the population an.

What Is Regional
Economic Integration?
Regional economic integration - agreements between countries in a geographic region to reduce tariff and non-tariff barriers to the free flow of goods, services, and factors of production between each otherQuestion: Do regional trade agreements promote free trade?In theory, yes, but the world may be moving toward a situation in which a number of regional trade blocks compete against each other
*
While the move toward regional economic integration is generally seen as a good thing, some observers worry that it will lead to a world in which regional trade blocs compete against each other.
In this possible future scenario, free trade will exist within each bloc, but each bloc will protect its market from outside competition with high tariffs.
The specter of the EU and NAFTA turning into economic fortresses that shut out foreign producers with high tariff barriers is worrisome to those who believe in unrestricted free trade. If such a situation were to materialize, the resulting decline in trade between blocs could more than offset the gains from free trade within blocs.
The Opening Case: Regional Trade Pacts Give the Mexican Auto Industry an Edge describes the growth of the Mexican auto industry due to a wave of foreign direct investment spurred by regional trade agreements. Beginning with the establishment of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in 1994, Mexico has established over 40 different free trade agreements that provide Mexican automakers duty-free access to markets throughout the world. These agreements, along with Mexico’s relatively low labors costs, have attracted investments from many of the world’s largest car companies and auto parts suppliers, making Mexico the sixth-largest car producer in the world.

MAPPING AND ANALYZING VALUE STREAMS
What It Means
The mapping and analysis of value streams is an undertaking focused on gaining insight into the current
state of workflow. It includes creating diagrams that show the various steps a product or service
undergoes from request to delivery. The format of the maps should not be overly complex, and they do
not require any specialized software to create. Their purpose is to help management and workers “see”
the flow of work tasks that are often difficult to visualize, and to analyze that flow from a customer-centric
perspective that is explicitly focused on adding value.
Why It Matters
• It aligns stakeholders around a common understanding of the starting point before any
operational change initiatives are undertaken.
• It focuses on value as the critical metric of operational excellence and competitive advantage,
and it identifies steps where no value is added and/or waste occurs.
• It requires the team to apply quantifiable performance metrics to the current state so that
improvement efforts can be measured and validated.
“Before you can lead your team to a
better future, you must build consensus
about the current state of affairs – what’s
working and what isn’t working – and why
the change is needed.”

Datril: Pioneering the Acetaminophen Market
Marvin Koslow, vice president for marketing services at Bristol-Myers, had just finished a
strategic planning meeting with his staff. The meeting was supposed to delineate a strategy for
Bristol-Myers’ newest offering: a non-prescription acetaminophen1 drug branded as Datril, which
was to be launched later in the spring of 1975. Despite many hours of deliberation, a clear solu-
tion failed to emerge. The main unresolved issue was how to position Bristol-Myers’ new drug to
the general public and, in particular, how to price and promote Datril.
Bristol-Myers was one of the nation’s leading marketers of pharmaceutical and consumer prod-
ucts, with a portfolio of well-known brands such as Bufferin, Excedrin, Windex, Drano, Vitalis, Be-
hold, and Clairol. Bristol-Myers was comprised of three major product groups: the Consumer Prod-
ucts Group, which accounted for 25.8% of the company’s total sales in 1974; the Clairol Group; and
the Pharmaceutical, Health Care, and International Group, which accounted for 51.8% of the compa-
ny’s total sales in 1974. In 1974, Bristol-Myers reported net earnings exceeding $120 million on $1.6
billion in net sales. The cost of goods sold accounted for more than $600 million of the expenditures:
marketing, sales, and administration expenses were in excess of $420 million, advertising and pro-
motion expenses were nearly $300 million, and research and development expenses were close to
$50 million.
The $680 million analgesic market was divided into two types of pain-relievers: aspirin and ace-
taminophen. Aspirin-based products, such as the market leader Bayer Aspirin, distributed by Sterling
Drug Company, and Bufferin and Excedrin, both distributed by Bristol-Myers, comprised 90% of the
analgesic market. Most of the aspirin-based products were proprietary drugs and were typically mar-
keted with heavy consumer advertising and extensive point-of-purchase displays. Bristol-Myers spent
more than $30 million advertising Bufferin and Excedrin in 1974 (see Exhibits 1, 2 for examples of
print advertisements). In contrast, acetaminophen-based analgesics, initially available only by pre-
scription, were advertised primarily to medical professionals.
Acetaminophen products were rapidl.

Quantitative Easing in the Great Recession
On October 29, 2008, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) concluded its eighth
meeting since the start of the Great Recession eleven months earlier. Continuing its recent
pattern, the FOMC voted to cut its target federal funds rate by another 50 basis points, to 1%. Yet
despite the lowering of this rate from 4.25% since the start of the year (see Exhibit 1), a variety
of economic indicators continued to paint a grim picture. Indeed, the situation appeared to be
worsening.
The chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke, now faced a daunting prospect. As
a professor of economics at Princeton, Bernanke had studied a set of tools that a central bank
could employ if its policy rate were to be constrained by the zero lower bound. Prominent among
these was a tool known as “quantitative easing,” or QE, a policy of making large purchases of
financial assets. These purchases increased the quantity of money in the economy, hence the
name quantitative easing. In his academic writings, Bernanke had advocated QE as a policy for
Japan, where since the late 1990s the Bank of Japan (BoJ) had reduced its short-term interest rate
to near zero.1 With the federal funds rate at 1%, the Federal Reserve likely would soon find itself
in the same position as the BoJ, namely at the zero lower bound. Bernanke would get a chance to
put his academic theories into practice.
The Great Recession and Financial Crisis
What would later be called the Great Recession began officially in December 2007 as a
typical economic downturn associated with a spike in oil prices and a decline in home prices, but
it quickly became a severe recession due to links between the housing and financial markets. As
home prices across the United States and other countries fell in 2006 and 2007, foreclosure rates
began to rise; this in turn rendered almost worthless many previously AAA-rated mortgage-
backed securities (MBS) that derived the.
Tool for Analyzing and Adapting Curriculum Materia.docx
Tool for Analyzing and Adapting Curriculum Materials
Overview: This tool is designed to help you prepare to use curriculum materials, particularly individual lessons that are part of larger units, with students. It supports you to do three things:
1. Identify the academic focus of the materials;
2. Analyze the materials for demand, coherence, and cultural relevance;
3. Consider student thinking in relation to the core content and activities;
4. Adapt the materials and create a more complete plan to use in the classroom.
Section 1: Identify the academic focus of the materials
Read the materials in their entirety. If you are working with a single lesson that is part of a larger unit, read or skim the entire unit, and then read the lesson closely. Annotate the materials:
1. What are the primary and secondary learning goals?
· What are the 1-2 most important concepts or practices that students are supposed to learn?
· What are students responsible for demonstrating that they know and can do in mid-unit and final assessments and performance tasks?
2. What are the core tasks and activities:
· What needs to be mastered or completed before the next lesson?
· Where is the teacher’s delivery of new information, guidance, or support most important?
· Where is discussion or opportunities for collaboration with others important?
· Are there activities or tasks that could be moved to homework if necessary?
Section 2: Analyze the materials for demand, coherence, and cultural relevance:
Use the checklist in the chart below to analyze the materials. If you mark “no,” make notes about possible adaptations to the materials. You may annotate the materials directly as an alternative to completing the chart.
Consideration
Yes or no?
Notes about possible adaptations
1.
Analyze for grade-level appropriateness and intellectual demand:
1a. Do the learning goals and instructional activities align with relevant local, state, or national standards?
1b. Are the materials sufficiently challenging for one’s own students (taking into account the learning goals, the primary instructional activities, and the major assignments and assessments)? Do they press and support students to do the difficult academic work?
2.
Analyze for instructional and academic coherence (if analyzing a unit):
2a. Do the individual lessons in a unit build coherently toward clear, overarching learning goals, keyed to appropriate standards? Name the set of learning goals.
2b. Is progress against those goals measured in a well-designed assessment?
2c. Does each lesson build on the previous one?
2d. Are there opportunities for teachers to reinforce or draw upon previously learned information and skills in subsequent lessons?
3.
Analyze for cultural relevance/orientation to social justice:
3a. Are the materials likely to engage the backgrounds, interests, and strengths of one’s own s.

Topic:
The Influence of Social Media on Mental Health
Beginning in PSY 535 you’ll need to have a clear understanding of how you’d go about studying the hypothesis you’ve proposed. This will involve addressing, at minimum, three key elements of methodology:
the participants you plan to recruit,
the measures you plan to use to study the variables of interest, and the procedure by which you will collect your data. If you are proposing to carry out a survey, you will need to select measures that are both reliable and valid and attach them as an appendix to your final proposal. If you are proposing to run an experiment, you will need to include a detailed protocol. Be thinking about your design will inform your analyses as you go. Because this is a proposal,
you should be writing all of this in the future tense. Consult with your peers, your instructor, and your faculty advisor for input.
Three key elements that need to be addressed:
1.
the participants you plan to recruit
2.
the measures you plan to use to study the variables of interest
3.
the procedure by which you will collect your data.

NUR 417: Aging and End of Life

Pathological Conditions in Older Adults
As one goes through the natural aging process, the body's capacity to defend itself against infections diminishes. The immune system's ability to offer protection is reduced, and the individual becomes susceptible to conditions that affect them more than other age groups (Haynes, 2020). This population also experiences other symptoms impairing other aspects of their lives as time passes. For instance, their skin and bones lose their integrity and become more prone to abrasions and breakage. This assignment module will examine the pathological conditions that affect the sexual response in older adults and how and why nutritional and psychological factors, drugs, and other alternative and complementary medications affect the immune system of the populations.
Pathological Conditions that Affect Sexual Response in Older Adults
Sexuality is an essential aspect of life, irrespective of the age group one is in—the older population and the younger generation alike need to explore sexuality to maintain health and well-being. Exploring sexuality is also a mixture of biological, psychological, social, and religious factors, all of which have plenty to do with aging. Among the pathological conditions that affect sexual response in the elderly include
Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause
These are the changes experienced in the genitourinary pathway as one age. The individual can feel a burning sensation, dryness, or irritation. This can lead to painful sexual encounters, which can, in turn, reduce their desire to engage and their response.
Dementia
This is a degenerative disorder of the mental faculties, predominantly among the elderly (National Institute on Aging, n.d.). Their judgment diminishes, making them disinterested or utterly unaware of their sexual experiences. Some forms of the condition have been shown to increase sex or closeness, but the individual may fail to recognize what is appropriate and what is not.
Diabetes
As a chronic condition experienced mainly by this population, it can lead to yeast generation, leading to itchiness around the sex organs, making sex unpalatable. The situation can, however, be addressed with medication.
Incontinence
This is a condition where one experiences bladder leakage caused by poor control (National Institute on Aging, n.d.). It is most prevalent among the population an.

Regional Economic Integration

What Is Regional
Economic Integration?
Regional economic integration - agreements between countries in a geographic region to reduce tariff and non-tariff barriers to the free flow of goods, services, and factors of production between each otherQuestion: Do regional trade agreements promote free trade?In theory, yes, but the world may be moving toward a situation in which a number of regional trade blocks compete against each other
*
While the move toward regional economic integration is generally seen as a good thing, some observers worry that it will lead to a world in which regional trade blocs compete against each other.
In this possible future scenario, free trade will exist within each bloc, but each bloc will protect its market from outside competition with high tariffs.
The specter of the EU and NAFTA turning into economic fortresses that shut out foreign producers with high tariff barriers is worrisome to those who believe in unrestricted free trade. If such a situation were to materialize, the resulting decline in trade between blocs could more than offset the gains from free trade within blocs.
The Opening Case: Regional Trade Pacts Give the Mexican Auto Industry an Edge describes the growth of the Mexican auto industry due to a wave of foreign direct investment spurred by regional trade agreements. Beginning with the establishment of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in 1994, Mexico has established over 40 different free trade agreements that provide Mexican automakers duty-free access to markets throughout the world. These agreements, along with Mexico’s relatively low labors costs, have attracted investments from many of the world’s largest car companies and auto parts suppliers, making Mexico the sixth-largest car producer in the world.

MAPPING AND ANALYZING VALUE STREAMS
What It Means
The mapping and analysis of value streams is an undertaking focused on gaining insight into the current
state of workflow. It includes creating diagrams that show the various steps a product or service
undergoes from request to delivery. The format of the maps should not be overly complex, and they do
not require any specialized software to create. Their purpose is to help management and workers “see”
the flow of work tasks that are often difficult to visualize, and to analyze that flow from a customer-centric
perspective that is explicitly focused on adding value.
Why It Matters
• It aligns stakeholders around a common understanding of the starting point before any
operational change initiatives are undertaken.
• It focuses on value as the critical metric of operational excellence and competitive advantage,
and it identifies steps where no value is added and/or waste occurs.
• It requires the team to apply quantifiable performance metrics to the current state so that
improvement efforts can be measured and validated.
“Before you can lead your team to a
better future, you must build consensus
about the current state of affairs – what’s
working and what isn’t working – and why
the change is needed.”
Jack Welch

Datril: Pioneering the Acetaminophen Market
Marvin Koslow, vice president for marketing services at Bristol-Myers, had just finished a
strategic planning meeting with his staff. The meeting was supposed to delineate a strategy for
Bristol-Myers’ newest offering: a non-prescription acetaminophen1 drug branded as Datril, which
was to be launched later in the spring of 1975. Despite many hours of deliberation, a clear solu-
tion failed to emerge. The main unresolved issue was how to position Bristol-Myers’ new drug to
the general public and, in particular, how to price and promote Datril.
Bristol-Myers was one of the nation’s leading marketers of pharmaceutical and consumer prod-
ucts, with a portfolio of well-known brands such as Bufferin, Excedrin, Windex, Drano, Vitalis, Be-
hold, and Clairol. Bristol-Myers was comprised of three major product groups: the Consumer Prod-
ucts Group, which accounted for 25.8% of the company’s total sales in 1974; the Clairol Group; and
the Pharmaceutical, Health Care, and International Group, which accounted for 51.8% of the compa-
ny’s total sales in 1974. In 1974, Bristol-Myers reported net earnings exceeding $120 million on $1.6
billion in net sales. The cost of goods sold accounted for more than $600 million of the expenditures:
marketing, sales, and administration expenses were in excess of $420 million, advertising and pro-
motion expenses were nearly $300 million, and research and development expenses were close to
$50 million.
The $680 million analgesic market was divided into two types of pain-relievers: aspirin and ace-
taminophen. Aspirin-based products, such as the market leader Bayer Aspirin, distributed by Sterling
Drug Company, and Bufferin and Excedrin, both distributed by Bristol-Myers, comprised 90% of the
analgesic market. Most of the aspirin-based products were proprietary drugs and were typically mar-
keted with heavy consumer advertising and extensive point-of-purchase displays. Bristol-Myers spent
more than $30 million advertising Bufferin and Excedrin in 1974 (see Exhibits 1, 2 for examples of
print advertisements). In contrast, acetaminophen-based analgesics, initially available only by pre-
scription, were advertised primarily to medical professionals.
Acetaminophen products were rapidl.

Quantitative Easing in the Great Recession
On October 29, 2008, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) concluded its eighth
meeting since the start of the Great Recession eleven months earlier. Continuing its recent
pattern, the FOMC voted to cut its target federal funds rate by another 50 basis points, to 1%. Yet
despite the lowering of this rate from 4.25% since the start of the year (see Exhibit 1), a variety
of economic indicators continued to paint a grim picture. Indeed, the situation appeared to be
worsening.
The chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke, now faced a daunting prospect. As
a professor of economics at Princeton, Bernanke had studied a set of tools that a central bank
could employ if its policy rate were to be constrained by the zero lower bound. Prominent among
these was a tool known as “quantitative easing,” or QE, a policy of making large purchases of
financial assets. These purchases increased the quantity of money in the economy, hence the
name quantitative easing. In his academic writings, Bernanke had advocated QE as a policy for
Japan, where since the late 1990s the Bank of Japan (BoJ) had reduced its short-term interest rate
to near zero.1 With the federal funds rate at 1%, the Federal Reserve likely would soon find itself
in the same position as the BoJ, namely at the zero lower bound. Bernanke would get a chance to
put his academic theories into practice.
The Great Recession and Financial Crisis
What would later be called the Great Recession began officially in December 2007 as a
typical economic downturn associated with a spike in oil prices and a decline in home prices, but
it quickly became a severe recession due to links between the housing and financial markets. As
home prices across the United States and other countries fell in 2006 and 2007, foreclosure rates
began to rise; this in turn rendered almost worthless many previously AAA-rated mortgage-
backed securities (MBS) that derived the.
Tool for Analyzing and Adapting Curriculum Materia.docx
Tool for Analyzing and Adapting Curriculum Materials
Overview: This tool is designed to help you prepare to use curriculum materials, particularly individual lessons that are part of larger units, with students. It supports you to do three things:
1. Identify the academic focus of the materials;
2. Analyze the materials for demand, coherence, and cultural relevance;
3. Consider student thinking in relation to the core content and activities;
4. Adapt the materials and create a more complete plan to use in the classroom.
Section 1: Identify the academic focus of the materials
Read the materials in their entirety. If you are working with a single lesson that is part of a larger unit, read or skim the entire unit, and then read the lesson closely. Annotate the materials:
1. What are the primary and secondary learning goals?
· What are the 1-2 most important concepts or practices that students are supposed to learn?
· What are students responsible for demonstrating that they know and can do in mid-unit and final assessments and performance tasks?
2. What are the core tasks and activities:
· What needs to be mastered or completed before the next lesson?
· Where is the teacher’s delivery of new information, guidance, or support most important?
· Where is discussion or opportunities for collaboration with others important?
· Are there activities or tasks that could be moved to homework if necessary?
Section 2: Analyze the materials for demand, coherence, and cultural relevance:
Use the checklist in the chart below to analyze the materials. If you mark “no,” make notes about possible adaptations to the materials. You may annotate the materials directly as an alternative to completing the chart.
Consideration
Yes or no?
Notes about possible adaptations
1.
Analyze for grade-level appropriateness and intellectual demand:
1a. Do the learning goals and instructional activities align with relevant local, state, or national standards?
1b. Are the materials sufficiently challenging for one’s own students (taking into account the learning goals, the primary instructional activities, and the major assignments and assessments)? Do they press and support students to do the difficult academic work?
2.
Analyze for instructional and academic coherence (if analyzing a unit):
2a. Do the individual lessons in a unit build coherently toward clear, overarching learning goals, keyed to appropriate standards? Name the set of learning goals.
2b. Is progress against those goals measured in a well-designed assessment?
2c. Does each lesson build on the previous one?
2d. Are there opportunities for teachers to reinforce or draw upon previously learned information and skills in subsequent lessons?
3.
Analyze for cultural relevance/orientation to social justice:
3a. Are the materials likely to engage the backgrounds, interests, and strengths of one’s own s.

The Influence of Social Media on Mental Health
Beginning in PSY 535 you’ll need to have a clear understanding of how you’d go about studying the hypothesis you’ve proposed. This will involve addressing, at minimum, three key elements of methodology:
the participants you plan to recruit,
the measures you plan to use to study the variables of interest, and the procedure by which you will collect your data. If you are proposing to carry out a survey, you will need to select measures that are both reliable and valid and attach them as an appendix to your final proposal. If you are proposing to run an experiment, you will need to include a detailed protocol. Be thinking about your design will inform your analyses as you go. Because this is a proposal,
you should be writing all of this in the future tense. Consult with your peers, your instructor, and your faculty advisor for input.
Three key elements that need to be addressed:
1.
the participants you plan to recruit
2.
the measures you plan to use to study the variables of interest
3.
the procedure by which you will collect your data.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdf
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Introduction to Quality Improvement Essentials
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements.

He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
