...agency needs to be found that has funding and is looking to support a program like the one the grant proposal is for. For this paper, I will use the scenario three, PEACE Domestic Violence Agency (PEACE) to summarize a grant proposal’s writing steps, outline the process, and create a needs and problem statement. The first part of the grant proposal PEACE needs to develop is the table of contents, which will also be one of the last parts to finish. It is a guide to what is in the proposal and where to find it. It is one of the first things to be developed because it serves as a checklist during the writing process and is one of the last to be finished because the pages where each section can be found will not be known until the proposal is mostly finished. The next part is specific aims. This section can be referred to as or includes as subsections the needs and problem statement, the background and significance, or the literature review. In this section, it is important for PEACE to express that they know what they are doing and why they are doing it. They would need to state the how the city of Portland is experiencing increasing reports of domestic and youth violence, spousal and child abuse, assault, and incidents of road rage and the effects it is having on the people. Then summarize how the direct services and education will help the targeted area. A needs/problem statement should state the current need briefly, why...

...I will now summarize the book “The Civility Solution: What to Do When People are Rude” by P.M. Forni. Throughout the book, Forni clearly illustrates what causes rudeness, the multiple ways in which rudeness effects individuals, how to civilly and respectfully deal with rudeness. Forni offers an explanation into different personality types that assist in understanding why people act the way they do. These explanations also provide insight into the possible inherent rudeness of one's own actions, and how others perceive such actions. The reader is also provided with Eight rules for a civil life that provide a fresh perspective and a clear construct of how to live more civilized, with less stress, and with a bit more wisdom. The book begins by defining exactly what it is to be rude, and what causes rude behavior. People traditionally extended courtesies to one another since it was the right thing to do. Such courtesies had no legal repercussions for not following them, yet people traditionally did so because of the urge to do what is right, or “the obedience to the unenforceable”. To be polite to someone is to confer regard, to see them, or “keep in view” (Forni,6). Rudeness is defined as a disregard for others, and taking without giving, or freeloading. There are two types of rudeness, both focused and unfocused. Unfocused rudeness is a general act or course of actions, as may usually be described as inconsiderate. These types of actions can be summed up as poor character...

...A grant proposal is a representation of a program plan. A plan indicates the approach the applicant will use to identify the needs or problems. A grant proposal has several major sections that outline the program plan: the abstract, table of contents, specific aims/background and significance/needs and problem statement, target population, approaches and methods, activity plans and scheduling (timeline), agency capacity and program management, budget and budget justification, evaluation plan, (Yuen/Terao, 2003). An abstract is a summary of the contents within the grant proposal. It consists of 45 lines, but one page is recommended. Contradictory to one another, the abstract is the shortest part of the proposal, but also the most important and most read. An abstract, to any piece of writing, is typically the go-to piece to read so there can be avoidance of reading something that may not be of interest to the reader. Better yet, it provides that first impression for anyone who reads it. The following are included in the contents of the abstract of a grant proposal: agency name and the type of organization it is, the purpose and objectives of the project, specific interventions for the project, target population such as race, demographic, age, gender, special needs, location and setting of the project, and the relevance of the proposal to the funding source (Yuen/Terao, 2003). Considering that the abstract is the most important piece as well as a summary for the proposal, it is...

...components for audio and visual equipment and computers. Whoever fills the position will be one of the four most powerful people in the company and may one day become its CEO. So the whole company has been watching the political skirmishes among the three leading candidates: Arnie Sander, Laura Prove, and Billy Evans. Arnie Sander, currently head of the research and development division, worked his way up through the engineering ranks. Of the three candidates, he alone has a Ph.D. (in electrical engineering from MIT), and he is the acknowledged genius behind the company’s most innovative products. One of the current vice presidents—Harley Learner,himself an engineer— has been pushing hard for Sander’s case. Laura Prove spent five years on the road, earning a reputation as an outstanding salesperson of Ramsey products before coming to company headquarters and working her way up through the sales division. She knows only enough about what she calls the "guts" of Ramsey’s electronic parts to get by, but she is very good at selling them and at motivating the people who work for her. Frank Barnwood, another current vice president, has been filling the Chief’s ear with praise for Prove. Of the three candidates, Billy Evans is the youngest and has the least experience at Ramsey. Like the Chief, he has an M.B.A. from Harvard Business School and a very sharp mind for finances. The Chief has credited him with turning the company’s financial situation around, although others in the company believe...

...Acts is believed to be the second part of a two-volume work. The Book of Acts begins with a summary of the previous volume, the Gospel of Luke, and then introduces the second volume. In Acts 1:1-5, Luke describes Jesus' ministry and passion; volume two Acts describes events after Jesus' ascension and the giving of the Holy Spirit. As a literary parallel to Luke-Acts Josephus writes a two-volume work, and introduces the second volume in a similar manner. He states the correct use of somewhat idiosyncratic political titles corroborates the view that the Book of Acts was written by someone historically close to the events narrated, such as Luke was. Lukan authorship of the Book of Acts explains the extensive linguistic agreement between the it and the Gospel of Luke and the details that Luke includes about the church in Antioch, the city from which he hailed. Several secondary sources confirm the Lukan authorship of the Book of Acts. The Muratorian canon states "Moreover the Acts of the Apostles are included in one book. For 'most excellent Theophilus' Luke compiled the individual events that took place in his presence.” The Anti-Marcionite Prologue identifies Luke as the author of a second volume, Acts: "And afterwards the same Luke wrote the Acts of the Apostles." Origen identifies the author of Acts as Luke, the same who wrote the gospel: "Others that it was Luke, he who wrote the gospel and the Acts" (H.E. 6.25.14). Clement of Alexandria accepts Lukan authorship...

...Lyn Bell Dr. John Warren Spiritual Warfare Slaying the Giants in Your Life What are the giants in your life? David Jeremiah reminds us that we have giants in our lives like David, Moses, Abraham and others. The giants in our lives have different names of fear, loneliness, doubt, discouragement, failure, jealousy, worry, anger, guilt, and procrastination. Just like the biblical ancients overcame their giants, we too must overcome our giants. In doing so we must allow God to help us in the process in knowing that He is with us and will empower us in overcoming. Fear Fear is a major problem in the land of the giants. This giant comes in so many forms. Fear has gripped us all at some point in our lives. Thousands are affected daily in some type of fear or another. But fear is a common part of the fabric of living. Fear gives us burst of strength and speed when we need and is a good thing in a survival instinct situation. When fear becomes negative it then becomes a phobia. This is when fear and reason does match up. When fear becomes ill rational, it becomes a shackle that bind us and put us into bondage. This bondage will keep us from the routine things in life of working, playing, living and serving God. There are so many varieties of fears. This is a listing of six general categories that we face in fear: poverty, criticism, loss of love, illness, old age and death. When we read the bible we can see that those living in biblical times often were...

LYNCH Office: Rawls 4039 Phone 494-4388 lynch@purdue.edu Secretary: Sherry Fisher 496-7227 Office Hours: Monday and Wednesday 3:00-4:00 and by appointment Introduction to the topic: As recent turmoil in the financial markets has demonstrated, macroeconomic fluctuations in the economy can create a difficult operating environment for the firm. This situation is further complicated by the fact that it is an environment over which the firm has little control. Even though the firm cannot control the environment, it can still react to economic conditions in ways that minimize its uncertainty as long as it understands the constraints it is facing. The purpose of this course is to help in an understanding of the macroeconomy. Macroeconomics is that branch of economics that seeks to understand and explain changes in output, general prices, employment, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, the balance of payments, and other related phenomena. Emphasis is given in this course to analyzing financial markets where interest rates are determined. We will spend more time than usual on the financial markets this year in response to the uncertainty in that environment today. Also, since the macroeconomic environment in this country is increasingly influenced by international conditions, the factors underlying trade and exchange...

...Social Care Statistics can be collected from records such as birth certificates, the death register and hospital admissions records. Records can be used for further analysis in order to gain more specific information, for example the weight of a new-born baby, or the reason an individual was admitted into hospital. The government has made the use of having these records available a legal requirement so that the statistics may be available when they are required. Statistics can be collected through the use of surveys, i.e. the national census of which is held every 10 years in the UK by the government. The national census survey has been in place since 1801 and takes into account each individual within a household. It is able to provide an outline of the UK which enables us to compare geographical areas. However statistics are not always accurate for what they represent, as there will always be information on illness which may not be reported therefore the statistics can only provide a general idea on what health in England is actually like. Patterns of ill health can also be identified through other means, such as using reports; one such example includes the Black Report which took place back in 1980, and discovered that there were gross inequalities in...

The objective is to contribute a critical perspective on cultural meaning-making to the feminist interrogation of the co-production of gender and technology. The symbolical association of cars Science Studies, Vol. 19(2006) No.2, 31–53 with men and masculinity is a cultural phenomenon in conflict with everyday experience.
