  • Sample Selecting Race Ethnicity
    Selecting an Ethnicity If, in prior records, an individual has indicated that he or she was Hispanic, then the ethnicity question is answered. Your job is to observe and select a racial category. Many Hispanic individuals consider “Hispanic” as their race (partly due to past experience of using this as if it were a racial category). They may look for “Hispanic” or “some other race” in the race question. When they do not find it, they leave it blank. Following up might be all that is needed to collect the information directly from the student or parent. A student may volunteer his or her ancestry rather than answering “yes” to the Hispanic/Latino ethnicity question. The following is a list of Hispanic ancestry groups to which Hispanic individuals may refer themselves: Spaniard Andalusian Asturian Castillian Catalonian Balearic Islander Gallego Valencian Canary Islander Mexican Mexican American Mexicano Chicano La Raza Mexican American Indian Mexican State Costa Rican Guatemalan Honduran Nicaraguan Panamanian Salvadoran Central American Canal Zone Argentinean Bolivian Chilean Colombian Ecuadorian Paraguayan Peruvian Uruguayan Venezuelan Criollo South American Latin American Latino Puerto Rican Dominican Hispanic Spanish Californio Tejano Nuevo Mexicano Spanish American Selecting a Race In general, the new federal requirements conflate race and geographic/national origin. For example, “White” is defined to include people who originate from Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. Though not an exhaustive list, the following chart may help

  • Modeling COVID-19 in Cape Verde Islands - an Application of SIR Model
    Modeling COVID-19 in Cape Verde Islands - An application of SIR model Adilson da Silva∗ Faculty of Science and Technology University of Cape Verde, Cape Verde Center for Mathematics and Applications New University of Lisbon, Portugal Abstract The rapid and surprised emergence of COVID-19, having infected three million and killed two hundred thousand people worldwide in less than five months, has led many experts to focus on simulating its propagation dynamics in order to have an estimated outlook for the not too distante future and so supporting the local and national governments in making decisions. In this paper, we apply the SIR model to simulating the propagation dynamics of COVID-19 on the Cape Verde Islands. It will be done firstly for Santiago and Boavista Islands, ant then for Cape Verde in general. The choice of Santiago rests on the fact that it is the largest island, with more than 50% of the Population of the country, whereas Boavista was chosen because it is the island where the first case of COVID-19 in Cape Verde was diagnosed. Observations made after the date of the simulations were carried out corroborates our projections. Keywords: Covid-19, Santiago, Boavista, Cape Verde, SIR Model. 1.

    CLASSROOM COUNTRY PROFILES BELARUS (Bielarus) Belarus has been an independent nation since 1991. The term Belarus means “White Russia” and in the process of rising na- tionalism, Belarus is a relative latecomer. Located at low eleva- tion on a vast plain between Russia, Poland, Ukraine, and the Baltic states, Belarus features gradual change, geographically and culturally. Belarus has maintained fairly close ties to Russia in the aftermath of the Soviet collapse and has been dominated by one political leader, Alexander Lukashenko for over 20 years. The capital city of Minsk is located along the major trans- portation routes between Russia and Western Europe. Religion in Belarus is predominantly of the Eastern Orthodox Christian Population: 9.5 million variety. The two largest ethnic groups in the country, Belarusians and Area: 207,595 sq. km.

  • Testimony of David J. Kramer Executive Director of Freedom
    Testimony of David J. Kramer Executive Director of Freedom House before the United States Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on European Affairs “Crackdown on Belarus: Responding to the Lukashenka Regime” January 27, 2011 Madame Chairwoman, Members of the Committee, it is an honor to appear before you here today to discuss the latest situation in Belarus, and I commend you for holding today’s session. It is vitally important that the United States and Europe stay focused on the deteriorating situation in Belarus, support those in desperate need of assistance, and take decisive steps in response to the latest assault on freedom committed by Europe’s last dictator, Aleksandr Lukashenka. In just four days, European Union (EU) foreign ministers will meet and, I hope, vote to reimpose a visa ban and other sanctions against the Lukashenka regime. Frankly, anything short of that is unacceptable and would constitute a slap in the face to those victims of Lukashenka’s repression. It would also send a signal to authoritarian regimes around the world that they can get away with massive human rights abuses cost-free. Five years ago, in response to Belarus’ previous fraudulent presidential election, human rights abuses, and corruption, the United States and EU together imposed sanctions against the Lukashenka regime. Over time, those sanctions – i.e., not engagement but pressure -- secured the release of political prisoners held in Lukashenka’s prisons. Engaging Lukashenka Has Failed Unfortunately, after the EU in particular eased its sanctions against the Lukashenka regime in October 2008 (the U.S. kept most of its sanctions in place) and launched an engagement strategy with Minsk, the pressure on Lukashenka went away, and he masterfully played the West and Russia off of each other.
