What changes did the Bureau make to the conceptualization and operationalization of race in the 2010 census? Why did the Bureau make these changes? Could the difference in operationalization produce different conclusions about race? Does the Bureau’s conceptualization and operationalization of race coincide with yours? If so, how? If not, what is different?

Database OptionsAs you start to think about how the One-Stop Center is going to develop a new data management system (as described in the multimedia piece in the Studies for this unit), the first things you have to consider are databases and database design. You have been learning more about different data models for databases: relational models, entity relationship models, object-oriented and extended relational models, and NoSQL models.After all of this research, for this assignment, describe the data model you think would be the most appropriate for the One-Stop Center.Justify your decision by responding to the following:Explain why the flat file currently being used is not effective.Describe the differences between the various data models. Which differences matter for the One-Stop Center’s needs?Explain why you think the data model you selected is most appropriate for the One-Stop Center. In your explanation:Describe the data that could be used.Describe how a database would store that data.Support your position by citing scholarly articles or textbooks.Assignment RequirementsWritten communication: Written communication should be free of errors that detract from the overall message.Writing style: Present the content of this assignment in a paragraph format that includes transitional phrases, headings to define document sections, appropriate subheadings, and references.References: Make sure to include references for all information that is not your personal idea. en things out.The piece on KCCO last week was troubling; they talked to several of our program participants who’d had very bad experiences with our case managers. Several of the CMs just weren’t familiar with the clients and their needs or cases. And that was on top of the troublesome high turnover rate we see in CMs.That hews pretty closely to the stories that ran in the Trib— they found a couple of participants who said their CMs weren’t letting them know about available services or even jobs. And then the guy from Vang Fabrication saying a big part of why they moved their whole business out of Riverbend City was because they couldn’t find enough workers who were English-Spanish bilingual!!! We’re in a Latino neighborhood and ESL classes are one of our primary offerings! That should have been an easy win, not a source of egg on our faces.It seems to me like everything went to hell after we switched to our new participant management system; I know you expected that to make everything better, but it seems to have dropped us off a cliff. I need you to get to the bottom of this. There has to be a deeper problem here. Oh, and by the way — adding to the fun, the state department of economic development has asked for a demonstration of the effectiveness of the case management program as a stipulation before renewal of their grant funding.Could you get out on the floor and talk to some CMs, see if you can get a handle on what’s going on? Looking forward to hearing your results.ThanksScene 2One-Stop Center Board RoomNow you should talk to some case managers to hear about the problems they’re having.Kim CohenCase ManagerAs a case manager, I think things have gotten a lot worse since we’ve started these half-baked efforts to modernize our participant files. I think that’s where it all went wrong. I’ve been here since the early ‘90s, and we always used to just have a paper file for each participant. And it worked great! You’d just walk over to the filing cabinet, pull their file, and know everything you needed to know. Sure, sometimes a file would get buried on someone’s desk or wind up in the wrong drawer… but it didn’t happen often, and for the most part the system worked.I know that now everything has to be on computers. But ugh, I hate having to mess with the system now. I have all kinds of problems finding participants’ files! Say their name’s “James” and the file’s under “Jim,” the search won’t pick it up. Or it’s a Latino name with an accent mark, that throws the search all the time. And then a bunch of the time you search the system and find like six files for the same person, and they all have bits of info in them that don’t quite match up.Or you get into the file, and you know it’s the right file, but it’s still like digging around through a junk drawer! All the information is just kind of dumped into there as text, just jumbled up. Job skills, work history, client notes, all just on top of each other until it feels like you need to read a 15-page document just to find the right info. It’s a mess, and I don’t know how it would ever not be a mess. No wonder people are falling through the cracks here, we can barely do our jobs! Honestly, some days I think about retiring early.Lydia RobbinsCase ManagerOh, geez, I’m glad you asked. Things have gotten really bad this year, I feel like we’re all just dropping the ball left and right, participants just seem like they’re walking out of here with steam shooting out of their ears.Time after time, somebody will come in for a consultation and just sit there looking upset while I fumble around trying to find their file in the system. They come in for intake and we get all their info, and then when they come back for later appointments we end up having to ask for it all again because we can’t find it or it’s in the system wrong. And if you’re talking through someone’s skills and work history, that takes a while! They get frustrated, we get flustered, stuff just slips through the cracks all the time. It’s awful.And that’s when the system works! It’s not too rare for me to lose a whole day of work to just ticky-tacky little tech problems. I get locked out of the system for some reason and need to have Bob log into his admin console and reset me. It can take forever! Or some days I just keep getting these messages telling me that the database connection got dropped. I don’t know what that means, or what I can do to stop it. I think a system like this might make sense at a bigger place with a full-on IT department. Us, well, Bob’s good with computers, but there’s a big difference between having one guy on staff who kind of knows what’s up and having an actual IT department.Nathan WilliamsCase ManagerYou know what? I can tell you a story that’s a perfect encapsulation of everything that’s been going wrong. Does the name Jose Gomez ring a bell? He registered late last year, I think Kara Watson did his intake and was assigned as his case worker. Then she left for another job and his file just sat unassigned in the system. He came in again to check in—Kara had told him to— and he got a second file that didn’t list his skills or anything.We had this standing request from Vang Fabrication for bilingual employees with machine press experience, *exactly* what Jose had. But the file people were seeing when he came in the second time didn’t show any of that, and nobody really bothered to double-check, so nobody ever told him about it. Or did anything, really, but tell him to come back again later and maybe sign up for a coaching class. Poor guy ended up losing his house! I found him when I was doing a different search in the system and stumbled across his first record, the complete one; I called him to see how he was doing, he told me he and his wife and kids were staying with his brother while they were wait-listed for public housing. Man, did he tell me off. And he had a right to! I couldn’t even try to link him up with the Vang job, since they’d relocated their entire plant by then.It’s just no good.
Your writing often addresses history beyond the chronological scope of the assignment, and it relies too heavily on outside sources (which weren’t supposed to be used), and block quotes without fully synthesizing or analyzing the content at hand too. I’d love to discuss this paper further with you so we can better prepare for the final paper. The final paper–comprising one third of your semester grade–will cover chapters 10 through 14 of our course text, Asch & Musgrove’s Chocolate City, together with the films 9 Lives of Marion Barry and Lee Daniels’ The Butler (see streaming links at bottom). You are expected to synthesize these three sources into a single essay (2,500-3,000 words) that responds to the following topic:Chapters 10 through 14 in Chocolate City ostensibly present “a history of race and democracy in the nation’s capital” from the end of WWII through the beginning of the 21st century. This period also encompasses not only a number of crucial periods in recent US history generally, but some key turning points for the civil rights movement in particular. How might you understand key episodes and contexts in those national narratives differently, if you consider the same period in DC as viewed variously through each of the following:1) a documentary film focused upon one INDIVIDUAL figure (9 Lives of Marion Barry);2) a historically-inspired drama about a Washington FAMILY (Lee Daniels’ The Butler);3) a scholarly history organized around the experiences of the larger African American COMMUNITY in Washington (Chocolate City).Even though these three “texts” cover the same historical terrain in terms of both place and time, there are clearly different choices of emphasis, as well as obvious distinctions inherent to each medium. Your paper should explore how each portrayal illuminates the relevant past, viewed individually and in combination.Papers will be evaluated on the basis of the following criteria:1) Demonstrated mastery of ideas in all five chapters (50%) and both films (25% each);2) Conceptual sophistication of comparative argument, synthesis of ideas;3) Writing/organization.Thus, in addition to responding to the prompt with a comprehensive thesis (#2), and submitting a polished, well-structured piece of college-level writing (#3), you will need to show me that you have internalized our various course activities and can apply them in relevant ways (#1).Some other guidelines:* Utilize abbreviated parenthetical citations to cite sources, e.g. (Chocolate City, p. 36), but do not reproduce long verbatim quotations from our readings.* Format your document as single-spaced; place your name only at the end.* Upload your paper as a Word file
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6oisYb6T0AQ&feature=youtu.be You will receive this signed story by the Deaf community regarding a children’s storybook. You will analyze the story for details used in ASL, how those may represent the story, discuss visual vernacular elements, and how this type of signing is different from daily conversations in ASL. Not only that, you will also discuss how ASL elements can be used to show understanding of English concepts. You will need 3-5 sources to support your analysis including your textbooks. (That’s two right there). The research paper also should have some “glossing” examples in where you discuss a certain passage of the story. When applicable – any references to the story should be in gloss. You can cite passages of the story, discuss comparisons, and more. The gloss will count toward your final word count. Discuss parts that made you curious – as how that page’s english sentence set up the ASL part being signed by Justin. What details are being used by the signer to represent the page’s pictures. What kind of signs did he use to show pictures on the page – characterization? classifiers? face expressions? role shift?

This literature review examines the various factors related to making decisions about the placement of loved ones in nursing homes. It includes an examination of the types of nursing homes that exist, the types of people who live in nursing homes, and what it costs to live in them. Ultimately, the enclosed provides a guide to help individuals who are looking for information for a place for their loved one to live in different types of nursing homes, the types of people who live in the different types of nursing homes, and the various alternative costs. The items in bold are your main points that you must do research on. You seem to have a lot of different information in your paper that seems to go outside the initial scope of your research. You should break it up like this: Introduction – introduce your topic, nursing homes, and then state your thesis, which was, “When the time comes to decide whether to put a loved one into a nursing facility and what nursing facility to put them in, there are many things to consider; and it is a challenge for all involved.” I am a little confused with your thesis, you want to make an argument that can be supported by the main points. Your main points are types of nursing homes, types of people who live in nursing homes, and what it costs to live in a nursing home. You may want to consider re-working your thesis to reflect what type of research you plan on doing. I underlined the portion that you may be able to use to re-work your initial thesis. After your introduction you list you three main points. You must use the databases online to find articles (ie. google scholar) or even call nursing homes for information (these would be interviews). These resources will help provide examples to support your thesis. Also, it seems like your professor is very concerned about the lack of citations. While you have to put information in your own words, simply paraphrasing what you find is not going to count unless you cite the source.
Preparation To prepare for the assessment, reexamine your TOWS matrix from the previous assessment, the analysis of your matrix, and the initial strategies you prepared as part of your draft strategic plan. Once you have reexamined your work, you will be ready to begin work on this assessment. The Mission, Vision, and Values Analysis Questions document, linked in the Resources, identifies three questions about each directional strategy you need to consider as you are analyzing your organization’s fit with its directional strategy. In addition, you may wish to review the assessment instructions and scoring guide to ensure that you understand the work you will be asked to complete. Scenario Your boss is pleased with the thorough and impressive work you have done to date. However, she notes that the TOWS matrix findings do not align with the organization’s directional strategies. The organization’s structure needs to more closely align with its strategic goals, so that the organization can be more efficient, competitive, and profitable. She asks for your help once again. Her next task for you is to examine the organization’s current mission, vision, and value statements and compare them to the TOWS matrix. She requests that you recommend revisions to the organization’s mission, vision, and value statements so that they more closely align with the organization’s strategic priorities. Knowing your boss, you understand that she wants your directional strategies report to be insightful, substantive, and brief—all at the same time. You also know that your boss is a visual person. It will serve you well to include appropriate images and diagrams, such as your TOWS matrix, in your report to highlight key information. Requirements Write a directional strategies report that examines the alignment of a health care organization’s current directional strategies with its strategic goals. Report Requirements The requirements, outlined below, correspond to the grading criteria in the Directional Strategies Report Scoring Guide, so be sure to address each point. Read the performance-level descriptions for each criterion to see how your work will be assessed. Analyze the effectiveness of the organization’s directional strategies. Use the Mission, Vision, and Values Analysis Questions document, linked in the Resources, to determine how effectively the existing directional strategies currently fulfill the requirements of effective directional strategies. Identify gaps between effective directional strategies and the organization’s existing directional strategies. Analyze the alignment between the organization’s directional strategies and its strategic goals. Examine the strategic fit. How well does the directional strategy fit the environment? How appropriate is the organization’s direction, given the environmental analysis you completed in Assessment 1? Which strategic goals make the most sense at this time? Growth? Maintaining the status quo? Or does contraction make the most sense right now? Propose changes to the organization’s directional strategies that improve alignment between the organization’s structure and its strategic goals. Recommend changes you think the organization needs to make to establish a foundation necessary for the organization’s current structure and strategies.
