Facing constantly changing circumstances around issues important to them, Gen Z teens (ages 13-17) are struggling with the uncertainty of their own futures, as well. Half (50%) say the pandemic has severely disrupted their plans for the future. A similar proportion (51%) report that the coronavirus pandemic makes planning for their future feel impossible. Challenges in education may contribute to these feelings of disruption and an inability to make plans. The majority of Gen Z teens who are in school (81%) report they have been negatively impacted due to school closures as a result of the pandemic, such as having less motivation to do schoolwork (52%); having less involvement in sports, clubs or other extracurricular activities (49%); | https://www.apa.org/news/press/releases/stress/2020/report-october |

Important Issues or Topics in Psychology
Therapist attitudes and biases are important to areas of study in psychology in that they impact on the process of psychotherapy. Therapists' attitudes include beliefs reflected in emotional responses and behavior as well as cognitions. Because of the sociocultural nature of the AIDS epidemic, therapists can be especially vulnerable to being influenced by their own attitudes and biases. Working with persons affected by HIV disease can trigger powerful and complex personal and professional issues surrounding discrimination and oppression, sexuality, substance use and abuse, and issues of mortality. It is important that therapists be cognizant of their own biases and attitudes and the subsequent impact of their work in counseling persons with HIV disease. Lessons Learned from HIV/AIDS
HIV/AIDS has contributed to our understanding of counselor attitude/bias. Overall, the research suggests that the personal attitudes and biases of psychologists may affect their professional treatment and decision making. The impact of HIV/AIDS to this area of literature is illustrated below. | https://www.apa.org/pi/aids/resources/education/counselor-bias |

About the Authors
Content: There is a tremendous need for psychologists to be able to provide timely assessments of ASD and mental health problems, and provide evidence-based interventions to address mental health disorders when they arise, across the lifespan. More broadly, the research and practice of psychology can be instrumental in informing decision makers to shape policies in ways that will support individuals with developmental disabilities in our country, and consequently in improving their well-being and mental health.

Culture and the Self: A New Global Perspective
Citation:
Content: In an article just published in Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, Vignoles and colleagues (2016) (PDF, 209KB) introduce a new perspective on cultural differences in self-construal. Funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (UK), and conducted by members of the Culture and Identity Research Network among more than 10,000 members of diverse cultural groups spanning all inhabited continents, their research explodes the common myth of a "West-versus-the-Rest" divide in self-perceptions. For several decades, psychological scientists have commonly assumed that Western cultures foster seeing oneself as independent from others, whereas the rest of the world's cultures foster seeing oneself as interdependent with others. Critics have argued that this view of cultural diversity is too simplistic, but it has remained a dominant assumption in the field — and researchers often explain unsupportive findings away as methodological failures rather than question it. The new research paints a much richer picture of diversity in cultural models of selfhood. It shows that Western cultures tend to emphasize certain ways of being independent (e.g., being different from others, self-directed, and self-expressive), but not others (e.g., being self-interested, self-reliant, and consistent across contexts). Viewed in global context, Western cultures are not "exceptional" but they form part of the broad kaleidoscope of global variation. Nor is cultural individualism linked straightforwardly to independent self-perceptions, as has been commonly presumed. Different ways of seeing oneself as both independent and interdependent were emphasized in different parts of the world, and this was partly explained by socioeconomic development and religious heritage of the cultural groups studied. | https://www.apa.org/pubs/highlights/spotlight/issue-71 |

The findings will be important to practitioners and researchers interested in cultural diversity. They open up new research possibilities that will help researchers better understand how psychological processes vary across the world. A richer understanding of cultural variation, based firmly on empirical research rather than stereotypes, could help practitioners intervene more effectively with members of diverse cultural communities.

Content: Report of the APA Task Force on Mental Health and Abortion (PDF, 616KB)
This research review found no evidence that a single abortion harms a woman’s mental health. It also found that women who report distress post-abortion typically have other risk factors for mental health problems, such as substance abuse, poverty or exposure to domestic violence. The evidence regarding the relative mental health risks associated with multiple abortions is less clear; the report recommends further study in this area. APA Offices and Programs

Content: There are two major contributing factors that’ll determine the extent of your electricity bill. 1. The Size of Your Apartment: The bigger the home the more space you’ll have to heat or cool if those appliances are electric. Consider both your floor space and the height of your ceiling. Both can impact your electric bill total. 2. The Number of Roommates: This one is pretty self-explanatory. If you have multiple roommates, that means you're using more lights and appliances, and more phones are being charged. | https://www.apartmentlist.com/renter-life/estimating-apartment-utilities-cost |

Content: Studies estimate that anywhere between 21 percent and 61 percent of mental health practitioners experience signs of burnout (Morse et al., 2012). Burnout has been associated with workplace climate, caseload size and severity of client symptoms (Acker, 2011; Craig & Sprang, 2010; Thompson et al., 2014). In contrast, studies examining burnout prevention have found that smaller caseloads, less paperwork and more flexibility at work are associated with lower rates of burnout (Lent & Schwartz, 2012). Burnout results in negative outcomes for both practitioners and their clients. Symptoms of burnout are not solely psychological; burnout has also been linked to physical ailments such as headaches and gastrointestinal problems (Kim et al., | https://www.apaservices.org/practice/update/2018/01-25/mental-health-providers |

Content: Companies like these use their products on animals before selling them in the market. Organizations have come up to prevent such behavior like People for Ethical Treatment of Animals or PETA. They discourage the practice of animal testing and animal cruelty. They also expose such actions if they see such action. Though it is a debatable topic, it is best not to test on innocent animals. It is unethical to make animals the recipients of harmful drugs and chemicals only because they cannot protest. Testing includes brutal treatment like water deprivation, starvation, force-feeding of unhealthy and non-edible substances, pain stimulation, and other such heinous treatment. Animals have no choice but to endure the pain and slow death. It is nothing less than torture. People use animals, and when they are too damaged, they are ‘put down’ or killed. | https://www.aplustopper.com/animal-testing-essay/ |

Content: It is extremely inhumane to treat any living organism that way. Animal testing has helped in the past to discover new and effective drugs, treatments for humans, etc. Since medicine and innovations are continuously evolving, people use more and more animals to their effectiveness. Toxic levels in some environments and biodiversity are also checked with animal testing. It is an extensive process of torture on the mute animals. Let us unite and say no to animal testing permanently. Alternative methods of animal testing are plenty. Technology is so developed that there is no need for animal testing. A computer, for instance, can calculate if a product is effective or not. Hence, say no to animal cruelty and use cruelty-free products and drugs as much as possible. | https://www.aplustopper.com/animal-testing-essay/ |

The Northerner’s grounds for the war was to restore and preserve their Union. The Union felt that the Southern States were also part of America due to which they did not have any right to leave the Union. Although, as the Civil War went on, it became pretty obvious to almost everyone that the Union cannot be preserved unless the main cause of the conflict, that is, slavery, was not abolished. Due to this, the purpose of the war changed. The issue of slavery now mattered to the Union Soldiers, especially to Abraham Lincoln, and he decided to issue Emancipation Proclamation. Although at first, no northerners agreed to it, during the second half of the war, instead of the idea of fighting, everyone wanted to save the nation, and now the soldiers were fighting for the cause of liberty as well.

What is a Neuroma? A neuroma is a painful condition, also referred to as a “pinched nerve” or a nerve tumor. It is a benign growth of nerve tissue frequently found between the third and fourth toes. It brings on pain, a burning sensation, tingling, or numbness between the toes and in the ball of the foot. The principal symptom associated with a neuroma is pain between the toes while walking. Those suffering from the condition often find relief by stopping their walk, taking off their shoe, and rubbing the affected area. At times, the patient will describe the pain as similar to having a stone in his or her shoe. The vast majority of people who develop neuromas are women. Causes
Although the exact cause for this condition is unclear, a number of factors can contribute to the formation of a neuroma: Biomechanical deformities, such as a high-arched foot or a flat foot, can lead to the formation of a neuroma. | https://www.apma.org/neuromas |

Bunions
Hammer Toes
Bunion Blues and Shoes
Content: These foot types bring on instability around the toe joints, leading to the development of the condition. Trauma can cause damage to the nerve, resulting in inflammation or swelling of the nerve. Improper footwear that causes the toes to be squeezed together is problematic. Avoid high-heeled shoes higher than two inches. Shoes at this height can increase pressure on the forefoot area. Repeated stress, common to many occupations, can create or aggravate a neuroma. Symptoms
The symptoms of a neuroma include the following: Pain in the forefoot and between the toes
Tingling and numbness in the ball of the foot
Swelling between the toes
Pain in the ball of the foot when weight is placed on it
Home Treatment
What can you do for relief? Wear shoes with plenty of room for the toes to move, low heels, and laces or buckles that allow for width adjustment. Wear shoes with thick, shock-absorbent soles, as well as proper insoles that are designed to keep excessive pressure off of the foot. | https://www.apma.org/neuromas |

High-heeled shoes over two inches tall should be avoided whenever possible because they place undue strain on the forefoot. Resting the foot and massaging the affected area can temporarily alleviate neuroma pain. Use an ice pack to help to dull the pain and improve comfort. Use over-the-counter shoe pads. These pads can relieve pressure around the affected area. | https://www.apma.org/neuromas |

Content: Remote locations: Working outdoors could be fun for some. But it is not true in cases of many people. Civil engineers may end up working at some remote and hostile areas. While it could be fun for some, many engineers don’t really enjoy it! Increased liability (and thus pressure): Civil engineers usually design and build structures. These structures usually have high strategic, commercial and political value. Lot of planning, calculation and effort must be put into the design of construction of such structures.

The Limitations of Science and Its Method
INTRODUCTION
LIMITATIONS OF THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD
CONCLUSION
REFERENCES
Content: Their zeal has a fanatical, egocentric quality characterized by disdain and intolerance for anyone or any value not associated with a special area of intellectual activity (1964, p. 373). Those who suggest that “rational behavior” is characterized by the exclusion of religion, and the acceptance of science as the sole authority in all matters, are guilty of the bigotry of which Dr. Abelson wrote. They do not seem to realize that science—as great as it is—is not without its own limitations. The honest scientist admits, frankly and candidly, the limitations inherent in his method. Adherents of scientism, on the other hand, suggest that science can provide answers to any and all questions—something that science is not equipped to do! If those of us in the scientific community would do a better job of explaining to the public at large how science works, and the limitations of the scientific method, the alleged antagonism between science and religion would dissipate. In speaking of the backlash of a current public disenchantment with science—as a result of the “science can answer anything” attitude—White remarked: The problem is not public ignorance, but public alienation. Moreover, the chief reason for this alienation is the reluctance of most professional scientists to be as objective about themselves, their values, their goals, and their intellectual methods as they claim to be about interpreting specific data. For a variety of reasons—a litany of grievances that is so commonplace it need not be repeated here—a significant part of the general public has become distrustful of those goals, values and methods. | https://www.apologeticspress.org/article/315 |

Engagement
Without the cooperation of the public, policing in developed democracies would become essentially unworkable. In simple terms, the police service would cease to function without the active support of the communities it serves. Evidence has shown that effective community engagement, targeted foot patrols and collaborative problem solving can significantly increase public confidence in policing activity. By improving public perceptions and increasing trust through fair decision making and positive public interaction, the police service can enhance its legitimacy. Contents

Introduction
Research suggests that the way in which officers behave when engaging with the public helps to reduce crime by encouraging respect for the law and fostering social responsibility, making people more likely to help the police and not break the law. As the effects on crime are largely preventive and rely on voluntary public cooperation, improved public engagement and encounters can help the police avoid the financial costs associated with enforcing the law, detecting crime and processing offenders. Considerations
A structured approach includes the following factors: why the police need to engage with communities
who the police should engage with in communities
how to engage with communities. Community engagement
The process of enabling citizens and communities to participate in policing at their chosen level is known as engagement. This ranges from providing information and assurance, to empowering them to identify and implement solutions to local problems and influence strategic priorities and decisions. | https://www.app.college.police.uk/app-content/engagement-and-communication/engaging-with-communities/ |

Content: Core policing commitment
Engagement should be considered as a core element of police activity, informing and impacting on every area of policing. A genuine commitment from leadership plays an important role in ensuring that public engagement is effective. Leaders and senior managers need to commit the necessary staff time, effort and financial resources to engagement. This may include providing support and training for communities and staff, so that everyone can participate. Why the police need to engage
Policing by consent requires public support for policing activity at every level. The purpose of engagement and the level at which people and communities are to be involved should be clear. Democratic mandate
This level of engagement sets the dominant philosophy for policing. The public have the opportunity to question and better understand the legitimacy of police actions and hold the police to account for the effectiveness and quality of their services. Intermediate strategic
This includes engagement in policy, planning and critical incidents. Engaging communities at this level enables greater understanding of how policing may affect individuals and communities, either as part of equality analysis or to influence strategic priorities and decisions. | https://www.app.college.police.uk/app-content/engagement-and-communication/engaging-with-communities/ |

This includes engagement in policy, planning and critical incidents. Engaging communities at this level enables greater understanding of how policing may affect individuals and communities, either as part of equality analysis or to influence strategic priorities and decisions. This can be used to design and deliver effective and efficient services (see community engagement ). Neighbourhood policing
Further information
Neighbourhood policing should build relationships and provide opportunities for the public to participate in problem solving. See Tuffin, Morris and Poole (2006) Home Office Research Study 296: An evaluation of the impact of the National Reassurance Policing Programme.

Content: Neighbourhood policing has shown that public confidence improves when local people are involved in decisions about the issues that most concern them. Engagement and police legitimacy
The impact of poor police and community relations on public perceptions should not be underestimated. Negative pre-existing opinions of the police are predictive of negatively received contact. Fair decision making and positive public interaction and engagement can improve these perceptions and increase ‘institutional trust’, thereby enhancing police legitimacy. This, in turn, helps efforts to reduce crime by encouraging greater respect for the law and fostering social responsibility, making people more likely to help the police and not break the law. Police effectiveness
In encounters with the police, research indicates that the quality of the treatment received is more important than the objective outcome. However, while personal treatment appears to be valued over criminal justice outcomes, an inadequate police response to an incident may have a significant impact on the confidence of the community. See critical incident management. The ways in which the police engage and interact with the community, and the negative and positive experiences of the public when accessing policing services (including victims, witnesses and offenders) can influence subsequent perceptions of police fairness and legitimacy, and confidence in the police. The perceived legitimacy of particular policing functions can be increased if community engagement contributes to evidenced-based policy making. | https://www.app.college.police.uk/app-content/engagement-and-communication/engaging-with-communities/ |

See critical incident management.

The perceived legitimacy of particular policing functions can be increased if community engagement contributes to evidenced-based policy making. Perceptions of police fairness
Fairness and the perception of fairness are key to police legitimacy, and to encouraging or discouraging effective engagement with communities. It is important that fairness is demonstrated in all aspects of policing, including arrests, disposal decisions and in the resolution of incidents. The following example illustrates the perception of police fairness in response to the use of stop and search. Stop and search example
National levels of the disproportionate use of stop and search remain a cause for concern and this has had a negative impact on black and minority ethnic community confidence. Communities support the use of stop and search provided that forces can demonstrate legality, necessity, proportionality and accountability, and that the search is based on the best information available. | https://www.app.college.police.uk/app-content/engagement-and-communication/engaging-with-communities/ |

Expansion revenue is often easier to gain, as well: It's much easier and cheaper to upsell customers to more powerful versions of your product than it is to acquire net-new customers. In fact, it’s 3X cheaper to generate expansion revenue than it is to acquire new accounts. Shifting your goals from a model that narrowly focuses on net-new acquisition to a one that prioritizes expansion revenue can have a dramatic impact on growth. That’s why ProfitWell recommends that at least 30% of your revenue should come from expansions. Image credit
7. Net Promoter Score (NPS)
Unlike the financial metrics above, net promoter score is a direct measurement of how much value your customers are gaining from your product. Measuring NPS allows you to quickly find out why customers might be dissatisfied and to use their feedback to improve your product. In the early stages of a SaaS business, the qualitative data gained from customer feedback can be helpful for determining whether you have product/market fit. To measure NPS, you can survey your customers with a simple question: “ | https://www.appcues.com/blog/saas-growth-metrics |

Customers can answer on a scale from 1 to 10, with 1 being the least likely to recommend and 10 being the most. Detractors—scores 6 or below—can then be followed up with directly to find out exactly what's making them unhappy with your service. Using SaaS metrics to make better growth decisions

Further Reading on Applied Behavior Analysis in Mental Health
Content: Behaviorists went directly from animal training to mental hospitals, implementing ABA techniques such as token economies, reinforcement procedures, and shaping. Experiments in the early 1960s revealed that an applied behavioral approach could work successfully with schizophrenics. But behavior analysis in mental health treatment went into decline in the 1970s and 1980s. The number of research papers in the domain dropped precipitously, and behavior-based approaches such as token economies in mental institutions were dropped in favor of psychotropic medicines. Applied behavior analysis is making a comeback in mental health treatment, however, thanks to new research and a link between mental issues and the overwhelming specter of the autism epidemic in the United States. Mental Health Issues Emerge from the Shadows of Autism
Since the early 1990s, treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has dominated both the practice of applied behavior analysis in mental health, and applied behavior analysis generally. According to a 2015 survey commissioned by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB), more than half of all job postings for ABAs involved positions working with ASD patients. Although ASD itself is not considered a mental disorder, research has shown that individuals with ASD are also at higher risk for experiencing a co-occurring mental disorder than other individuals in their age range. ABAs working primarily with autistic individuals are certain to encounter such issues frequently in the course of their careers, including: Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
Depression
Anxiety
Those conditions can easily merge and overlap with ASD-issues. | https://www.appliedbehavioranalysisedu.org/mental-health/ |

Replacement cost new of the building improvements. Definition
Insurable Value is generally defined as: “The cost of total replacement of destructible improvements to a property; may be based on replacement cost rather than market value.” What it Means
Insurable Value is typically the replacement cost new of the building improvements only. In some cases, site improvements may be included. Most insurance companies only cover the building, however. Insurable value does not take into account land value, due to the fact that land is generally considered indestructible within the realm of real estate appraisal, nor is it insured. | https://www.appraisalcolorado.com/value-vault/insurable-value/ |

Content: He advised that the USSR was "ruthlessly expansionary" but also cautious. Kennan stated that if left unchecked the Soviets would expand their regime whenever and wherever possible. He also believed that the Soviet Union's cautious nature allowed the U.S. to avoid actively engaging the Soviets militarily to keep them in check. It was his belief that a policy of "firm and vigilant containment" could control the Soviet threat. Kennan's telegram helped form the basis of America's containment policy toward the Soviet Union. Truman Doctrine and the Marshall Plan
As the perceived threat from the Soviet Union continued to grow, the West became desperate to stop the spread of communism. After WWII, the communist community grew quickly in many parts of war-ravaged Europe. England was desperately trying to stop the spread of European communism in key countries, one of which was Greece. A fear shared by the U.S. and Britain was that if Greece became communist, so would Turkey, and the Soviets would control the eastern Mediterranean. The British economy had not recovered from the expenses of WWII, and England was financially unable to continue to prevent the spread of communism to Greece. | https://www.apstudynotes.org/us-history/topics/containment/ |

Content: north, south, and west. While the lines of sectionalism were being drawn, Henry Clay came up with a plan called the “American System” that drew upon the nationalism Americans were still feeling after the War of 1812. Clay’s plan for developing profitable American markets had three main parts: a strong banking system to provide abundant credit, a protective tariff to ensure successful eastern manufacturing, and internal improvements, such as a network of roads and canals. Clay’s American System was meant to build the national economy and bind the country together both economically and politically. Two parts of Clay’s System were implemented—protective tariffs and the Second Bank of the United States. The third provision, internal improvements such as roads, faced fierce opposition from many within the Republican Party, especially Monroe. They objected on the grounds that the Constitution did not explicitly provide for federal government spending on national developments. President Monroe vetoed any bill that provided funds for roadway- or canal-building projects (the National Road or Cumberland Road being the major exception), leaving it up to the states to provide their own infrastructures. Before the War of 1812, duties averaged about 12.5 percent, and during the war, Congress doubled all tariffs. | https://www.apstudynotes.org/us-history/topics/james-monroe/ |

Before the War of 1812, duties averaged about 12.5 percent, and during the war, Congress doubled all tariffs. In 1816, when the additional revenue from high tariffs was no longer needed to fund the war, a new act kept duties at the same wartime levels. The tariff was a protective measure because the British began dumping cheap goods in the United States, often at a cost far below that of American manufacturers. This protective tariff was the first in United States history—the first of many to come. The British were strangling American industry with their cut-rate goods, and to protect the fledgling industrial sector, Congress kept the tariff rates high. The tariff issue created clear sectional divisions. | https://www.apstudynotes.org/us-history/topics/james-monroe/ |

Content: Transportation
There is no denying that vehicle pollution is the major contributor to air pollution, especially in urban cities. When the car burns gasoline, it emits pollutants in the air which is as harmful as smoking 10 cigarettes a day. Your vehicle emits carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxide, and particulate matter. When the vehicle pollution is high in the atmosphere, it creates a hole in the ozone layer contributing to smog and causing various health issues. 7. Open Burning of Garbage Waste
Open burning of garbage is much more harmful to your health and the environment than one may think. As per Engage EPW, Delhi Air Pollution is choking public health. Delhi generates a whopping 9500 tons of waste every day, which makes it India’s second waste dumping city. Exposure to open burning of garbage waste can pose serious health risk including cancer, liver issues, impairment of immune system, reproductive functions; can also affect the developing nervous system. | https://www.aqi.in/blog/here-are-the-10-main-causes-of-air-pollution/ |

Content: Once the goods are packed and ready to ship, the shipping system generates an Advanced Ship Notices (ASN) to send to the buyer's receiving department
The vendor's ERP system then generates an EDI invoice to transmit to the buyer's accounts payable system
The entire EDI process can be completed in an hour. EDI Use Cases: Who Can Use EDI? No definition of EDI is complete without real-world applicability. Electronic Data Interchange is useful for a wide variety of functions spanning many thousands of specific information exchanges. Here are just some of the most common scenarios where EDI is helpful, from among the many thousands of transaction types EDI handles every day. Supply Chain (Retail, Manufacturing, Automotive)

Benefits of EDI
EDI helps businesses improve supply chain speed, accuracy, efficiency and costs, and some of the greatest EDI benefits come at the strategic business level. Here, we cover what EDI means, practically, for business. Faster Processing
EDI can speed up business cycles by 61 percent
EDI enables transactions in minutes instead of days or weeks spent on postal mail or back-and-forth email communications
Automating paper-based tasks frees up your staff for higher-value tasks and provides them the tools to be more productive
Quick processing of accurate business documents leads to fewer re-worked orders, stock outs and cancellations
Automating application data exchange across a supply chain ensures critical data is sent on time and tracked in real time
Shortening order processing and delivery helps organizations reduce inventory
Lower Costs
EDI reduces the transaction costs of paper, printing, reproduction, storage, filing, postage and document retrieval, saving businesses more than 35 percent on transaction costs
For buyers that handle numerous transactions, using EDI can also result in millions of dollars of annual savings due to early payment discounts
In some cases, EDI is just 1/20th the cost of manual order processing, slashing costs by a factor of 20
EDI also eliminates costly errors due to illegible faxes, lost orders or incorrectly taken phone orders
More Accuracy, Fewer Errors
EDI reduces error transactions by 30-40 percent
EDI eliminates human errors from illegible handwriting, lost mail and keying errors
Better Relationships
Sellers benefit from improved cash flow and reduced order-to-cash cycles
In fact, EDI can reduce the order-to-cash cycle time by more than 20%, improving business partner transactions and relationships
Reducing errors also saves partners valuable time and frustration handling data disputes
Strategic Benefits
EDI provides real-time visibility into transaction status, enabling faster decision-making and better responsiveness to customer and market demands, helping businesses adopt a demand-driven approach
Product enhancements and delivery enjoy shorter lead times
Streamlines the process of entering new territories, as EDI provides a common worldwide business language
Environmental Benefits
EDI promotes sustainability and reduces CO2 emissions by replacing paper-based processes with electronic alternatives
EDI increases operational efficiencies, leading to fewer errors and less energy waste
How EDI Works
There are three steps in the process of sending EDI documents: prepare the documents, translate them into an EDI format and transmit them to a partner. | https://www.arcesb.com/resources/edi/ |

How EDI Works
There are three steps in the process of sending EDI documents: prepare the documents, translate them into an EDI format and transmit them to a partner. One common process automated with EDI is the exchange of purchase orders (POs) and invoices. To give you a good example of how EDI works, we'll illustrate the EDI process for POs and invoices. 1. Document Preparation
Following the example of a PO and invoice, this is where a buyer prepares an order in a purchasing system. The buyer collects and organizes the data so it will work with EDI
For example, instead of printing a PO, the system creates an electronic file with the necessary information to build an EDI document
So how would you properly prepare documents? | https://www.arcesb.com/resources/edi/ |

Overview of Supply Chain
Send keyboard focus to media
Bananas sold in North America by Chiquita are typically grown in Central and South America. Chiquita works with plantations, independent growers, and wholesalers at more than 200 locations, primarily in Guatemala, Honduras, Panama, and Costa Rica
Today, Chiquita sources less than 40% of its bananas from its own farms
Banana plants take ten months to grow from a sapling to a fruit bearing tree. The fruit is harvested four to five months later, while they are still green, in large bunches that can weigh up to 80 kilograms. They are then taken to a packing site where they are separated, washed, wrapped and boxed. They are then shipped overseas, the bananas are kept cool in refrigerated containers or bulk storage until loading on a ship for ocean transportation. The bananas continue to be refrigerated by container or in bulk refrigerated holds during the ocean voyage. Once they arrive in port they are transported to warehouses/ripening facilities near the port. From there they are transported to Chiquita's or a retailers distribution center. Finally they are moved to retail/grocery stores to be consumed

Chiquita Displaces Locations
Send keyboard focus to media
Between 1939 and 1953 Chiquita abandoned more than 12,000 hectares of unproductive and diseased land in Central America
Chiquita disposed of 1200 ha of less productive land in Honduras in the mid-1990s. When disease and other conditions harmed Jamaican banana production and made it more costly, the UK turned to Central America (where it was cheaper) for its banana imports, and the Jamaican economy greatly suffered
Half the population of the Caribbean relied on the banana industry to supply their basic needs such as food, shelter and education. | https://www.arcgis.com/apps/MapJournal/index.html?appid=f4f7fb9e0e964ea1aad4f0550ccfe008 |

Once the WTO ruled in favor of Chiquita and other TNC’s, the Caribbean economy suffered greatly. Large transnational banana companies, such as Chiquita that control wages, prices in the global banana trade, are threats to small farmers. There is huge competition over being the port of choice for Chiquita. In 2014, New Orleans using huge state financial incentives, was able to secure Chiquita’s business after they decided to move their operations from Gulfport, MS. Chiquita shipped around 164,000TEU’s a year through Gulfport, the largest carrier of Gulfport. | https://www.arcgis.com/apps/MapJournal/index.html?appid=f4f7fb9e0e964ea1aad4f0550ccfe008 |

Basically, Chiquita maintained a stranglehold over the Latin American economy, which allowed it to do as it pleased with little to no consequences..but more on this later. Chiquita was the first major banana exporter to be involved in certification. In 1992 Chiquita, with the help of the Rainforest Alliance started the Better Banana Project (BBP). As early as 2001 Chiquita was able to get all its farms in Latin American certified under these standards. | https://www.arcgis.com/apps/MapJournal/index.html?appid=f4f7fb9e0e964ea1aad4f0550ccfe008 |

Chiquita’s Involvement with Colombian Paramilitary Groups
Due to high levels of conflict and violence, Chiquita left Colombia in 1982 only to return in 1989. From 1989 to 2004, Chiquita provided financial support and even weapons to numerous paramilitary groups, hoping to protect its workers and operations. | https://www.arcgis.com/apps/MapJournal/index.html?appid=f4f7fb9e0e964ea1aad4f0550ccfe008 |

Due to high levels of conflict and violence, Chiquita left Colombia in 1982 only to return in 1989. From 1989 to 2004, Chiquita provided financial support and even weapons to numerous paramilitary groups, hoping to protect its workers and operations. Despite the payments, groups like Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and the National Liberation Army (ELN) committed numerous atrocities against civilians and Chiquita banana workers alike. Although Chiquita ceased payments to FARC and ELN when they were added to the US’s Foreign Terrorist Organizations list, it continued payments to a rogue group called the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia (AUC) for two years after it was added to the Foreign Terrorist Organizations list, which was considered a federal crime in the US. When the Department of Justice pressed charges, Chiquita pled guilty and was given only a $25 million fine. No individual executives at Chiquita were charged with any crimes.

Chiquita Raid on Tacamiche, Honduras
Dispute between Chiquita and Honduran villagers on the Tacamiche plantation in Honduras began in July of 1994 when Chiquita tried to relocate villagers off land to sell it to ranchers and developers. Chiquita, who technically owned the land, deemed the soil infertile and wanted to sell it, but peasants who had worked and lived there for generations refused to leave. Villagers inquired about trying to buy land, but Chiquita disputed whether this happened. In February 1996, army troops, police, and Chiquita work crews raided the settlement, evicted 123 families, destroyed crops, and proceeded to burn down homes and even three churches as well. Human Rights Groups and even the Roman Catholic Church denounced the raid as a blatant violation of human rights, but Chiquita officials claimed the action was legal and justified. Oswaldo Martinez, the news director of a Honduran radio station, said the raid was “a way of saying that they are still a state within a state, and the Honduras, unfortunately, is still a banana republic.” | https://www.arcgis.com/apps/MapJournal/index.html?appid=f4f7fb9e0e964ea1aad4f0550ccfe008 |

Chiquita and the WTO vs. the EU
Beginning in the mid 1990s, the US and several Central American Countries began challenging tariffs, called banana regimes, that the EU imposed on banana imports that were not from the Caribbean, Africa, or the Pacific, all former colonial areas of Europe. It was obvious however, that these tariffs did not hurt the US’s economy, but the US became involved at the request of Chiquita after Chiquita challenged the tariffs in 1994, claiming they reduced Chiquita’s share of the European market by over 50%. A study showed that the CEO of Chiquita and other executives were some of the largest campaign contributors to both the Republican and Democratic Parties in the 1993-1994 election cycle. This is often cited as the reason why the US would become involved in a lengthy trade dispute for a company whose majority workforce and facilities were outside the US. “Only one U.S. company, Chiquita, cared enough about the EU subsidies to seek U.S. government intervention, and it had most of its operations and employees outside the United States. | https://www.arcgis.com/apps/MapJournal/index.html?appid=f4f7fb9e0e964ea1aad4f0550ccfe008 |

A change in EU subsidies favorable to the Chiquita position offered little discernible benefit to the American economy” (Gassama). After years of debate, the World Trade Organization ruled against the EU’s tariffs, and forced the EU to reduce taxes on banana imports from Central America. While Chiquita “claimed victory, stating that for every ten-euro reduction in tariff, the brand will save about twelve million dollars a year”, the Caribbean's banana industry was effectively destroyed as it could not compete with Central American banana plantations without the higher tariffs.

It is reported that over 33% of these cases involve banana workers or individuals who live near banana plantations. These “toxic chemicals are illegal in Europe, the United States, and Canada; however, Chiquita continues to use these pesticides, valuing production efficiency over environmental and worker welfare” (Piper). Throughout regions in Central America, Chiquita is the primary employer and often the only source of work, giving it an alarming amount of leverage over banana plantation workers.

HOLC Map
As a part of the New Deal in the 1930s, the Federal Housing Administration classified urban residential areas in terms of their lending risk for the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation (HOLC). The program itself was designed to make home ownership more accessible for first time home buyers, and facilitate the refinancing of existing home mortgages. While the classifications were determined in part by housing conditions, racial and immigration characteristics were also used to determine the status of areas. As shown on this HOLC map, 'Hazardous' red areas were often comprised of people of color, immigrant groups and Jews, and in those places the government dissuaded the underwriting of loans. Yellow areas were also less favorable, deemed 'Declining', while blue 'Desirable' and especially green 'Best' areas became mostly likely to have loans underwritten. HOLC maps were made in most medium and large cities across the United States, and in 1934, like in other cities, this map was commissioned by local public and private officials.1
The drawing of red lines around areas that were racially segregated (now known as “redlining”) became codified in practice and supported by law, and along with racial covenants and other forms of discrimination, are major factors in shaping current levels of racial segregation and wealth gaps. Though fair housing laws passed in the 1960's eliminated many of the public policies that attempted to separate and discriminate against people on the basis of their race, the patterns from that era persist in our cities today. Moreover, other practices still help reinforce racial and economic segregation. | https://www.arcgis.com/apps/MapSeries/index.html?appid=8b6ba2620ac5407ea7ecfb4359132ee4 |

Moreover, other practices still help reinforce racial and economic segregation. This series of maps provides a window into the racial and demographic makeup of the Twin Cities in 1940, 1970, and today. It shows how the racial patterns identified and solidified by the HOLC maps persist through to the present, and how the redlining of the 1930s reflects current inequality in the Twin Cities in terms of transportation, affordable housing and mortgage lending. The series also include information and stories about specific historic places, incidents and local activists that have shaped and championed civil rights and fair housing, both in the state and nationally. Finally, it includes links to news stories and reports that give greater context to civil rights issues.2
Notes: 1) Redlining maps created by the HOLC were a precursor to other color coded maps made by the Federal Housing Agency and the Veterans Administration, and adopted by private finance and insurance institutions as a means to separate borrowers and disinvest in neighborhoods by race. | https://www.arcgis.com/apps/MapSeries/index.html?appid=8b6ba2620ac5407ea7ecfb4359132ee4 |

10 of the Most Iconic Buildings of Modern Architecture
Modern architecture is the school of design that prevailed since the turn of the 20th century until World War II. The horrendous war altered the kind of buildings needed in the post-war era. People needed practicality and functionality more than ever to rebuild—from scratch—the entire cities that were demolished at the time. The dominant Beaux-Arts and neoclassical architecture, back then, had to subside to make way for a new architectural style that can meet the public needs. This is how Modern architecture arose and there are architecture icons that define postmodernism from the 20th century. Modern Architecture Style: Modern Architecture depended on utilizing novel construction techniques and materials like reinforced concrete, steel, and glass. This architectural style was very “in”, especially for government buildings and universities, until the 1980s where it started to face strong competition from other new schools like postmodernism and neomodernism. Today, we bring you a broad selection of some of the most famous buildings created under the umbrella of Modern architecture: Modern Buildings: | https://www.arch2o.com/10-most-iconic-buildings-modern-architecture/ |

Finally, it shall look at iconic modern buildings and iconic modern architects. What is modern architecture? Modern architecture, or modernistic architecture, is architecture defined by the use of innovative and new construction technologies, especially the use of steel, reinforced concrete, and glass. The central idea in modern architecture is that form should follow function and embrace minimalism. There is also a clear rejection of ornament in modernistic architecture. Modern architecture became dominant after the 2nd World War when it was taken as the main style for corporate and institutional buildings. Origins of modern architecture
The modern architecture movement started at the end of the 19th century. During this period, there was a revolution of technology, building materials, and engineering. The building construction industry moved away from traditional architectural styles to invent something functional and new. | https://www.archisoup.com/modern-architecture-guide |

The building construction industry moved away from traditional architectural styles to invent something functional and new. Modern architecture then first embraced the use of plate glass, cast iron and reinforced concrete in building stronger taller and lighter structures. The first skyscraper appeared in the US as a quick response to land shortages and the exorbitant cost of construction in the fast-growing American cities, and new technology like the use of fireproof steel frames and safety elevators invented by Elisha Otis. The ten-story Home Insurance Building in Chicago was the steel-framed skyscraper designed by William Le Baron Jenney in 1883. Louis Sullivan constructed other monumental structure at the heart of Chicago between 1904-06. This early building however borrowed decoration styles from Neo-Gothic, Neo-renaissance and Beaux-Arts architecture. | https://www.archisoup.com/modern-architecture-guide |

Later, The Woolworth Building, designed by Cass Gilbert and completed in 1912, became the world’s tallest building until The Chrysler Building was built in 1929. Postwar reconstruction
Two factors led to the rapid rise of modern architecture during this period. First, the industrial demands during World War II resulted in the shortage of building materials like steel, which lead to the adoption of new materials like aluminum. Second, there was unparalleled destruction during the war, and buildings needed to be reconstructed. The use of prefabricated buildings was largely expanded during the war and postwar period for government and military buildings. | https://www.archisoup.com/modern-architecture-guide |

The use of prefabricated buildings was largely expanded during the war and postwar period for government and military buildings. Radical experimental houses like the Lustron house and Dymaxion House were also witnessed between 1947-1950. The government financed enormous construction projects during the postwar period to cover for the housing shortages. These projects were carried out in cities and suburbs where land was available. For example, the Le Havre city center was one of the biggest reconstruction projects carried out after being destroyed by the Germans. A pioneer in the use of prefabricated materials and reinforced concrete, Architect Auguste Perret, built an entirely new center in the city. | https://www.archisoup.com/modern-architecture-guide |

Because I hadn’t done that, I actually hid in a shell for a very long time, not feeling like I could go to anyone to seek a mentor….I felt like I was discrediting the industry by showing up to an event and saying, “Hey, I’m a designer,” and then they’re saying, “What school did you go to, or who do you study under? What firm do you work for?” I couldn’t answer those questions, so I learned the hard way. When I went to design events I would be, sometimes, the only black individual in the room, or one of three in a room of 100 attendees. I’d feel very lost. The industry was very cliquey.

“The awareness that I was black came when I started working in France and later in London, but the difference was mostly felt in the U.S. I recall going to some showroom events and feeling singled out as though I somehow did not quite fit the mold. It happened to me again last year when I attended an opening event for the fabulous NYCxDesign. One of my chair designs was featured in a vignette, and I was extremely honored and happy until some of the event-goers asked who designed the chair, and looked at me in disbelief and turned away.” — | https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/being-black-interior-designer-today |

Which particular hazards it filters
Content: Some masks come with coverings which make the nose contact softer. Also, considering the weight, try to get one which weighs less than a pound. A few filters on the market are as light as a quarter of a pound, but make sure their safety specs are not being compromised. A strong example of a lightweight mask is the ATit mask, which sadly cannot deal with heavy toxicity fumes, but can handle particulate matter easily. Filtering capacity
This metric rules over perhaps all the others when it comes to buying a paint respirator. After all, the basic function of a respirator is to help you survive in otherwise dangerous conditions. Hence, it is wise to have knowledge of exactly how far any particular respirator can go in filtering out toxic gases. The larger the spectrum of filtering, the safer you’re going to be. Which particular hazards it filters
While many of the filters reviewed above are general purpose, your particular application may require heavier filtering when it comes to noxious gases or ultra fine particulate matter from sprays. Hence, it’s best to note which particular gases are most likely to be filtered, and whether other material is also filtered – such as dust. | https://www.architecturelab.net/best-paint-respirators/ |

Agency (also Federal agency, executive agency, executive branch agency) is any “executive agency” as defined in 5 U.S.C. 105; the United States Postal Service; and any other independent entity within the executive branch that designates or handles CUI. Agency CUI policies are the policies the agency enacts to implement the CUI Program within the agency. They must be in accordance with Executive Order 13556, 32 CFR Part 2002, and the CUI Registry and approved by the CUI EA. Agreements and Arrangements are any vehicle that sets out specific CUI handling requirements for contractors and other information-sharing partners when the arrangement with the other party involves CUI. Agreements and arrangements include, but are not limited to, contracts, grants, licenses, certificates, memoranda of agreement/arrangement or understanding, and information-sharing agreements or arrangements. When disseminating or sharing CUI with non-executive branch entities, agencies should enter into written agreements or arrangements that include CUI provisions whenever feasible (see 32 CFR 2002.16 (a) (5) and 32 CFR 2002.16 (a) (6) for details). When sharing information with foreign entities, agencies should enter agreements or arrangements when feasible (see 32 CFR 2002.16 (a) (5) (iii) and 32 CFR 2002.16 (a) (6) for details).

Cooling
Content: Given two objects, the particles within the hotter object move more rapidly than those in the cooler object. When the heated object is put in contact with the cooler object, the molecules in the cooler object begin to vibrate faster, which means it is gaining heat energy and becoming warmer. If you were to grasp a metal pole at room temperature with your hand, the pole feels cold due to the fact that heat energy is being transferred from your hand to the pole. The vibration of the molecules in your hand is causing an increase in the vibration speed of the molecules inside the metal, which causes the temperature of the metal to rise and that of your hand to drop. For this reason, we would say that metal is a good conductor. Building insulation, on the other hand, is not a good conductor. If you were to grab insulation with your hand, it would likely feel warm or neutral, due to the fact that the vibration of the molecules in your hand is not able to cause an appreciable increase in the vibration of the molecules in the insulation. Heating or cooling through conduction typically takes place at the building envelope (the outside walls, windows and doors) where warm or cold air outside causes the molecules of the envelope to increase vibration or decrease vibration which in turn causes a heat loss or gain inside of the building. An example of conduction affecting building temperature is the transfer of heat energy through the components of a window. Outside air comes in contact with the exterior mullion surface, which transfers energy through the metals and the glass, which transfers the energy to interior finish materials in contact with the mullion. | https://www.archtoolbox.com/materials-systems/hvac/basics-of-building-heating-and-cooling.html |

This is the reason that window manufacturers use a thermal break material. The thermal break is a poor conductor so heat energy doesn't move through it as easily. This same principal applies to all building construction - a thermal break is critical in keeping heat energy from being lost to cold outdoor air. Convection
Convection is the movement of warmer areas of a fluid (liquid or gas) to cooler areas of a fluid. The movement can occur naturally or may be forced through mechanical means. | https://www.archtoolbox.com/materials-systems/hvac/basics-of-building-heating-and-cooling.html |

A Simple Guide To Feminist Theories and Criticism
Feminist criticism is a form of literary criticism that is based on feminist theories. It is broadly explained as the politics of feminism and uses feminist principles to critique the male-dominated literature. The root cause of this type of criticism lies in the oppression of women in social, political, economic and psychological literature. Women have been ignored or mostly considered secondary in the literature for a long time. The feminist criticism aims to view them in a different perspective and discover the women’s contribution to the history of literature. It also aims to reinterpret the old texts and establishing the importance of women’s writing to save them from being lost or ignored in the male-dominated world. Feminist theory also looks for the possibilities and ways to remove the inherent sexism as a practice of writing from the mainstream literature. Apart from this, the goal of feminist criticism is to bring awareness about the sexual politics and analyse the writings of women writers from the feminist perspective. It also includes the language and style of writing to determine the relationship between the genders in terms of the power. Types of criticism
There are two criticism types, i.e. Constructive criticism and Projected criticism. | https://www.aresearchguide.com/feminist-theories.html |

This type of criticism becomes the reason for a new development and improved results. It brings improvement in our performance, relations and personal life. Great people always look for this type of criticism and make it a ladder for climbing new heights in their career and life. They look for the answer to the questions “where do I need to improve?” and “what can I do better?” | https://www.aresearchguide.com/feminist-theories.html |

Third wave feminism
Content: This theory is extended in the meaning of theoretical, philosophical or fictional discourse based on the concept of feminism. Theories by feminists were introduced and developed gradually in the span of three centuries. It is called three waves of feminism by many theorists. First wave feminism
The first wave of feminism was started in the late 1700s and lasted till the early 1900s. It was mainly focused on how male authors and novelists view and portrait women in their works. It was also called the revolution against the unfair treatment of women by men of that time. Critics considered the way novelists discriminate and marginalize the women characters. Many authors supporting feminism have written books on feminist criticism. Some of them are Geoffrey Chaucer’s Wife of Bath, Mary Wollstonecraft’s A Vindication of the Rights of Women (1792), Marry Ellman’s Thinking About Women (1968) and Kate Millet’s Sexual Politics (1969). Authors like Mary Ellman, Kate Millet and Germaine Greer have played an important role in raising questions on the practice of showing feminism in the literature of their time and past. | https://www.aresearchguide.com/feminist-theories.html |

Content: We can find the works of Simon de Beauvoir in Le Deuxieme Sexe in 1949 as a facilitating the spread of feminist theories. It picked up the pace during the civil rights movement in the USA. This wave is also called Gynocriticism and involves three major aspects. First of them examines and recognizes the work of the female writers. This aspect observes their place and how they are considered in the literary history. The second aspect of the third wave is based on how a woman is characterized by the works of both male and female authors. It considers the treatment given to the women in the literature. The third is the most important aspect as it is focused on exploring the canon of literature written by female writers. It helps in understanding the contribution of female writers in the context of women empowerment and criticizing the way women have been treated in different cultures. Elaine Showalter has proposed three phases of women writing in her book “A Literature of Their Own”, as follow. | https://www.aresearchguide.com/feminist-theories.html |

Elaine Showalter has proposed three phases of women writing in her book “A Literature of Their Own”, as follow. The Feminine Phase
The feminine phase denotes the behaviour of women writers in which they try to follow the rules made by male writers. They try to avoid debating and questioning the place of women in the literature. They also try to write as a man by employing male pseudonyms in this phase. The Feminist Phase
In this phase, female writers start criticizing the way a woman is treated in the society as well as in the literature. The main theme of gender criticism in the works by female writers in this phase is focused on the oppression of women in the society. | https://www.aresearchguide.com/feminist-theories.html |

In the December of 1972, America began a series of large-scale bombing of North Vietnam after peace talks did not materialize. These attacks led to the Congressional Democrats to demand to an end America’s involvement in Southern Asia in the January of 1973 (Isserman ; Bowman, 2003). The war undermined many other liberal reforms. There was increased inflation because President Johnson did not raise taxes to fund the war. This severely affected the U.S economy. This made many Americans lose trust in the government. Several decades later, the American remains torn between the meanings of the conflict. | https://www.aresearchguide.com/impact-vietnam-war-american-history.html |

This made many Americans lose trust in the government. Several decades later, the American remains torn between the meanings of the conflict. Before 1980s, America went through a period of what can be called social change (Hall, 2009). The war went ahead in changing the attitudes and beliefs of the people of America. This has impacted American culture permanently to this present age. In his book, Fitz-Gerald discusses matters arising from the involvement of America in the Vietnam War and the failed efforts by Richard M .Nixon and Lyndon B. Johnson the U.S Presidents in bringing about the withdrawal of America from that conflict in the period of 1960s. After President Richard M .Nixon in June 1969, the troops of America were withdrawn from Vietnam. | https://www.aresearchguide.com/impact-vietnam-war-american-history.html |

Figurative Language: Over centuries, poets and regular people have used language to create imagery, celebrate the beauty of nature, compliment people who are important to them, and more. Figurative language is used in writing to appeal to the senses of the audience. Instead of following the principles of logic or literalness, figurative language makes connections based on sound, connotation, and the construction of phrases and words. Figurative language develops links between things that might not otherwise have a connection. It encourages creative, complicated thought processes that develop into strange, uncommon or beautiful concepts. Figurative language enables writers to move past logical realms of thinking in order to see things in a new way. | https://www.aresearchguide.com/use-of-literary-terms.html |

With a bolt through insulation pad there is a slight thermal transfer along the connecting bolt. To further reduce heat loss, Armatherm™ bushings and washers can be used on the warm face of the structure. A thermal break at the bolt connection will reduce heat loss an additional 4% per bolt depending on the wall assembly construction. In extreme applications (e.g. Indoor Swimming Pools), to prevent condensation on the bolt head, a polyurethane nut cap can be supplied to effectively screen this cold surface from the internal environment.

Content: Aircraft
Aircraft development was crucial during WWII due to its increased use throughout the war – as bombers, fighters and reconnaissance. Massive bombing raids were being utilized as an alternative to static trench warfare. Air superiority was the goal of both the Allies and the Axis, each dedicating as much man/woman and machine power as possible to produce the ultimate air weapon. By the end of WWII, pilots were flying jet aircrafts. Other advancements in armament, maneuverability and radar assisted with the continual advancement of military aircraft. Conclusion
No doubt WWII played a critical role in the industrialization of many of the nations around the world on which every military greatly relied. As a result, incredible advancements in technology – necessitated by the advancements of the enemy – were witnessed throughout World War II. | https://www.armedforcesmuseum.com/advancements-in-technology-in-world-war-ii/ |

Constantinople
Constantinople became the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire replacing Rome as the heart of imperial power, it maintained influence and stability in the face of the decline of the West. In 324 AD, Constantine I the Great defeated rival Emperor Licinius at the battle of Adrianople, laying claim to sole mastery over the entire Roman Empire. He recog nized the need for a new capital to replace Rome, which could no longer serve as the center of defense for the widely spread frontiers on the Rhine and Danube and in the East. A new location had to be found, one easily fortified and centrally situated. In addition, Constantine planned not only to expand Diocletian’s Sweeping reforms but also envi sioned an entirely new world for mankind and planned to overcome the dangerous influences of Rome; which had destroyed other emperors, by establishing a new model for the Empire. At the same time, Rome stood for the paganism of centuries, and Constantine’s faith demanded a new setting, where Christianity could flourish. Bithynia and Nicomedia and other places in Asia had appeal, but none could be defended adequately, and some even presented themselves as targets for Persian attack. Constantine decided on Byzantium, a small city on the edge of the Golden Horn, on the Strait of the Bosporus, a bridge between East and West. Legendary accounts state that Constantine arrived there in November of 324 to march off the measurements for the extended building program, his yardstick being the “Hand of God.” | https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/research/monetary-history-of-the-world/roman-empire/the-monetary-history-of-the-roman-republic/constantinople/ |

Content: It lets the team leaders develop, become better NCOs," said Roughton. " It lets squad leaders develop and get more comfortable controlling their squad, and it provides an opportunity for our younger Soldiers to see what right looks like, and then for some of them move up to the team leader position and get some time there before they take their team for the first time." Sgt. Jeremy Roach, a team leader with 1-41Inf. Regt., was one of the junior NCOs to benefit from the training. "The exercise really gave me a chance to exercise control and practice directing my team," said Roach. " We have some guys who are really experienced and have done a lot of this stuff but then there's some guys that this is their first time doing it, so it's good for them to see it and for me to do it in real speed." Roughton said the training offered team leaders like Roach, an opportunity to adjust their tactics, techniques and procedures while also identifying weaknesses. "Overall it's their first time and they're a young squad, so they had some hiccups and certainly have some things they are going to go back and improve on, but overall it provided these junior NCOs a really good picture of what they need to improve on," Roughton added.

FORT SILL, Okla. (Aug. 6, 2012) -- The 2012 Presidential election is less than 90 days away. Political perspectives and opinions are running at a fevered pitch, and many people are more than willing to express their opinions in public. Often Soldiers and government employees want to get involved with the political process, especially on social media sites. There are, however, a number of things that they need to keep in mind when it comes to being in military or government service and being involved in political activity. | https://www.army.mil/article/84850 |

Content: Soldiers and government employees need to know the rules that apply to such public statements, both on the Internet and other places. In an example of how social media can cause trouble for military personnel, a Marine was recently discharged from the Corps because he posted critical and derogatory comments about the president on Facebook. The site failed to indicate that the views being expressed were not the views of the Marine Corps or the Department of Defense. He had previously been warned by the Marine Corps that such sites were a violation of military policy, but he did not heed the warning. Social media guidelines
DOD has included guidelines for using social media related to political activities and issues in the "Public Affairs Guidance for Political Campaigns and Elections." A link to the full document is at the end of this article. Here are highlights of guidance offered by the DOD regarding political activity on social media: Active-duty service members may generally express personal views on public issues or political candidates via social media or personal blogs, much like writing a letter to a newspaper. If the social media page or posts identifies the person as an active-duty service member, then the page or post should clearly and prominently state that the views expressed do not represent the DOD, or their branch of service. Active-duty members may become "friends" or "like" a Facebook page, or "follow" the Twitter account of a political party or partisan candidates. | https://www.army.mil/article/84850 |

Despite numerous instances of discrimination, many Asian-Americans joined the U.S. Army and served with distinction during World War I on the battlefields of France. Following the war, Soldiers of Asian ancestry were recognized for their contributions to the war effort and were allowed to become naturalized citizens.

At the start of World War II in 1941, more than a quarter-million Asian-Americans were living in the United States. After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, Japanese-Americans were perceived as a threat to national security based solely on their ethnic ancestry.

Like other ethnic groups of Americans, Hispanics were divided in their loyalties, fighting heroically for both the Union and Confederate armies. Most Hispanics were integrated into the regular Army or volunteer units, although some served in predominantly Hispanic units with their own officers. Hispanics were especially instrumental in protecting the Southwest against Confederate advances, most notably in California, Arizona and New Mexico. A very unusual historical figure was a woman named Loreta Janeta Velazquez, who was born in Cuba. During the Civil War, she masqueraded as a Confederate soldier using the name of Lt. Harry T. Buford, enlisting in 1860 without her soldier-husband’s knowledge. According to her controversial biography and the confirmation of others, she fought fearlessly at the Battles of Bull Run, Ball’s Bluff and Fort Donelson, but was detected in New Orleans and discharged. Loreta Velasquez re-enlisted and fought at the Battle of Shiloh until rediscovered. She spied in both male and female disguises, and her bravery in the Civil War showed extraordinary courage and commitment.

Cries of "Banzai" rang through the jungles -- the staccato of enemy machine guns, mortars and rifles broke through the jungle silence. The bayonet charges were suicidal, but the 158th Regimental Combat Team, the "Bushmasters," repulsed the enemy and advanced. It fought day after day in critical battles, to open the Visayan passages for allied shipping in the Pacific. The merciless campaign lasted two months in terrain laced with tank traps, wires, mines and bamboo thickets. The Texas National Guard's 141st Infantry Regiment fought in France and Italy for one year and suffered thousands of casualties. The entire list of mostly Hispanic units that were cited for valor in World War II would be several pages long. Countless Hispanic Soldiers served in other integrated units that fought bravely, earning countless medals for valor and bringing victory for the United States and its Allies in both the European and Pacific theaters of operation. A total of six Hispanic-Americans were flying aces in World War II and the Korean War. | https://www.army.mil/hispanics/history.html |

Content: The merciless campaign lasted two months in terrain laced with tank traps, wires, mines and bamboo thickets. The Texas National Guard's 141st Infantry Regiment fought in France and Italy for one year and suffered thousands of casualties. The entire list of mostly Hispanic units that were cited for valor in World War II would be several pages long. Countless Hispanic Soldiers served in other integrated units that fought bravely, earning countless medals for valor and bringing victory for the United States and its Allies in both the European and Pacific theaters of operation. A total of six Hispanic-Americans were flying aces in World War II and the Korean War. Approximately 200 Puerto Rican women served in the Women’s Army Corps and served in the critical role of Code Talkers to avoid enemy intelligence. [ 3]
Korean War
1950-1953
When the Korean War broke out, Hispanic-Americans again answered the call to duty as they, their brothers, cousins, and friends had done in World War II. Many of the Hispanic Soldiers who fought in Korea were members of the all-Hispanic U.S. Army unit, the 65th Infantry Regiment, which fought in every major campaign of the war. The 65th Infantry Regiment, nicknamed "The Borinqueneers," originated from the Borinquen -- one of the native Taino indian names for the island of Puerto Rico. Many members of the 65th were direct descendants of that tribe. | https://www.army.mil/hispanics/history.html |

Korean War
1950-1953
When the Korean War broke out, Hispanic-Americans again answered the call to duty as they, their brothers, cousins, and friends had done in World War II. Many of the Hispanic Soldiers who fought in Korea were members of the all-Hispanic U.S. Army unit, the 65th Infantry Regiment, which fought in every major campaign of the war. The 65th Infantry Regiment, nicknamed "The Borinqueneers," originated from the Borinquen -- one of the native Taino indian names for the island of Puerto Rico. Many members of the 65th were direct descendants of that tribe. One of the first opportunities the regiment had to prove its combat worthiness arose on the eve of the Korean War during Operation PORTREX, one of the largest military exercises up until that point, where the regiment distinguished itself by repelling an offensive consisting of more than 32,000 troops from the 82nd Airborne Division and the U.S. Marine Corps, supported by the Navy and Air Force, thereby demonstrating that the regiment could hold its own against some of the best-trained forces in the U.S. military. [ 4]
On Aug. 25, 1950, two months into the Korean War, with the U.S. Army's situation in Korea deteriorating, the Department of the Army's headquarters decided to bolster the 3rd Infantry Division, and owing in part to the 65th Infantry Regiment's outstanding performance during Operation PORTREX, it was among the units selected for the combat assignment. The decision to send the regiment to Korea and attach it to the 3rd Infantry Division was a landmark change in the U.S. military's racial and ethnic policy. Fighting as a segregated unit from 1950 to 1952, the regiment participated in some of the fiercest battles of the war, and its toughness, courage and loyalty earned the admiration of many who had previously harbored reservations about Puerto Rican Soldiers based on lack of previous fighting experience and negative stereotypes, including Brig. Gen. William W. Harris, whose experience eventually led him to regard the regiment as "the best damn Soldiers that I had ever seen." [ | https://www.army.mil/hispanics/history.html |

Content: As such, the doctrine and principles of training leader tasks is the same as that for any other task. Leader training occurs in the institutional Army, the unit, the combat training centers, and through selfdevelopment. Leader training is a part of leader development. Leader development is the deliberate, continuous, sequential and progressive process, grounded in Army values, that grows soldiers into competent and confident leaders capable of decisive action. Leader development comes from the knowledge, skills, and experiences gained through institutional training and education, organizational training, operational experience, and self-development. In always doing your best during training you are developing leader skills and attributes. But this won’t be enough to provide the insight, intuition and judgment necessary in combat. Self-study and training is also essential. It begins with a candid assessment of your strengths and weaknesses and then, with your supervisor, develop a program to build on those strengths and minimize those weaknesses. Often this involves reading about leadership, military history, or MOS-related subjects, for example. | https://www.armystudyguide.com/content/army_board_study_guide_topics/training_the_force/leader-training-and-devel.shtml |
