...The main goal of all activity programs should be to support the continuation of living through purposeful activities. Supporting the Human Spirit is the #4 domain in creating change in activities within long-term care (Gfeller, 2016). The activities older adults participate in should lend a hand to a meaningful life and support the wants and needs of the resident. As I dove deeper into the case studies and compared them to the activity calendar provided, it was clear that certain aspects of resident want and needs were not being provided. Case Evaluation One of the residents I chose to evaluate was a 73-year-old man who used to enjoy watching baseball, Catholic activities, and group activities.

...Introduction On May 17th , 2012, the city of North Bay accepted the proposal from the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation to build a casino. The proposal has created differing opinions within the population. The research we would like to conduct will be analyzing the perspective of North Bay residents to discern critical factors that shape their overall impression of the topic. Socio-economic and public health sentiments are considerations used in the proposed analysis. The population`s knowledge of the coming event, recognized opportunities and benefits, perceived risks, and philosophical views are components contributing to our research. Casinos have both positive and negative implications for a community, and community attitudes are instrumental in their success rates. Research Problem A casino coming to North Bay has brought up some controversy, whether the public believes the casino would be beneficial or have a negative impact on the community. We will determine whether the residents of North Bay are opposed or supportive of this decision (Conrad, 2012). We will uncover the resident's opinion of this decision. We will be analyzing the general interpretation of North Bay's residents and if the casino will improve tourism for this area. This could be an exciting attraction and improve the social quality of the city. Additional resources may be necessary for functionality, such as expansion in the hospitality industry. This is a big change for this area; however, the public...

...POLICY BRIEF SUMMARY SHAPING EUROPE’S AFGHAN SURGE Daniel Korski Unnoticed by many, the last few years have seen something of a European military surge in Afghanistan. Since late 2006, 18 of the 25 EU countries participating in the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), NATO’s Afghan mission, have increased their troop contributions, and as a result EU member states now account for 43% of ISAF’s total deployment. This military surge has been accompanied by a steady growth in European efforts to contribute to Afghanistan’s reconstruction, from development aid to police training – although not every EU member state is pulling its weight. These measures have made the EU a major stakeholder in Afghanistan. Yet the EU’s real impact on the country has been limited. In the face of a likely request from the Obama administration to do more, European governments should now formulate a hard-headed political strategy as a complement to the coming US military surge. Introduction President Barack Obama and his secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, have made it clear that they expect a significant enhancement of the European effort in Afghanistan. The issue is likely to be viewed in Washington as a litmus test of whether the Europeans can be taken seriously as strategic partners. Obama’s strategy in Afghanistan is likely to include an attempt to “regionalise” the issue, involving some kind of dialogue with Iran and efforts to bring India, the Gulf states and the central Asian...

Miklavcic, M.D., M.M.S., and Christine R. Isaacs, M.D.2 Abstract Background: The study was conducted to assess obstetrics-gynecology resident knowledge about barrier and over-the-counter (OTC) contraceptives and identify strengths and weaknesses in resident education. Methods: We developed a survey for distribution among 50 randomly selected U.S. obstetrics-gynecology residency programs. Results: Of 202 respondents, only 57% and 36% of residents reported adequate knowledge to counsel patients regarding latex vs. nonlatex condom use, respectively. Ninety-six percent knew spermicides were nonprotective against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs); however, there was limited knowledge about delivery options. Only 17% had ever fit or prescribed a diaphragm, and 30% reported knowledge in performing a fitting. Greater than 80% of residents stated they received no formal didactics addressing the use of condoms, spermicides, or diaphragms. Limited experience regarding Cycle Beads and natural family planning was expressed. Conclusions: Obstetrics-gynecology residents receive little formal training about barrier and OTC contraceptive options and seek more education because of their awareness of inadequate knowledge.

The organisation was international in scope, with a third of the members of parliaments (in the 24 countries that had parliaments) serving as members of the IPU by 1914. Its aims were to encourage governments to solve international disputes by peaceful means. Annual conferences were held to help governments refine the process of international arbitration. Its structure consisted of a council headed by a president, which would later be reflected in the structure of the League.[12] At the start of the 20th century, two power blocs...

...development in the Deep South Alan W. Bartona* and Sarah J. Leonardb a b Downloaded By: [University at Buffalo, the State University of New York (SUNY)] At: 06:29 3 November 2010 Social Sciences, Delta State University, DSU Box 3264, Cleveland MS 38733, USA; The College Board, Chicago, USA Tourism can serve as a vehicle for sustainable community development by contributing to equity and social justice. This happens as tourists learn about marginal groups through educational tourism, engage in development projects with host-area residents, undertake pilgrimages that bring greater meaning and cohesiveness to an ethnic identity, or encounter stories that transform their view of social injustice and spur further action to reduce inequities. Tourism planning can produce a sense of reconciliation when it brings historically divided groups together. An example is found in Tallahatchie County, Mississippi, where a group of white and African American residents are collaborating to develop tourism projects designed around a narrative of reconciliation, while they use the process of tourism planning to work towards racial reconciliation within their community. This case illustrates strategies tourism planners employ and challenges they face when they envision tourism as more than merely a means of economic growth. Keywords: heritage tourism; Mississippi Delta; racial reconciliation; social justice; sustainable community development The advantages of tourism to rural communities are generally...

...Police-Community Relations Kaplan University Did you know that 42% of Americans find their local law enforcement untrustworthy? This is due in large part to the number of police related incidents that have been in the news of late. The negative publicity that law enforcement is getting has an adverse effect on all police departments, nationwide. In turn this is having an effect on police-community relations. To better the relations between the Ringgold police department and the community there needs to be more outreach programs. At this time I believe that the community relations are in a good solid place. We have areas that we can improve on. (R. Kinsley, personal communication, February 1, 2015). Our chief of police has a better outlook on the current state of police-community relations that my general community does. In a poll conducted by myself I discovered that 63% of my communities’ population believes that our current state of community police relations is ranked at weak. This was out of the possible choices of: very strong, strong, mediocre, weak, poor and, very poor. This divide between the two leads to great concern. This information also leads to the conclusion that maybe the police-community relations are somewhere between these two. How does local law enforcement endeavor to reestablish and maintain the trust with its community? Incidents of the past have chipped away at the once noble profession. There are many instances in which the community...

... or limiting our prospects for continued economic prosperity.” The sustainability plan includes goals, indicators, numeric targets and actions. The city has a very well defined framework that has been in place since October 28th, 2008. The framework has specific implementation processes that are rated based on their estimated cost, benefit, and feasibility. Claremont also has set up an annual sustainability report card program. The plan requires the City Council to approve an annual Report Card that describes the city’s progress towards the indicators and indicator targets described in the goal areas. The Report Card is designed to help the public understand the current status of major areas of concern, whether the situation around each is improving or worsening, and how far they are from success There are 7 goals areas, with multiple goals related to that goal area. The seven goal areas were decided upon within city council meetings, taking into account suggestions from citizens as well through city council meetings and forums. The seven goal areas are resource conservation, environment and public health, transportation, sustainable built environment, open space and land use, housing and economic sustainability, and outreach, education and implementation. After a goal is stated, then a number of indicators are used to measure progress toward the goal. Claremont’s plan...
