Abstract
This paper first relates that community profiling is now a common technique by which to assess and describe a particular community, area or group and that the primary benefit derived from profiling a community is the ability to accurately assess levels of need. The paper further relates that community development is a complex and diverse subject and that, above all, it is clear that a wide array of factors and actors need to be taken into account in order for effective profiling to be carried out. In particular, the paper uses the case of Caerphilly County Borough's community profile to make it clear that there is a need to combine statistical information with that of opinions and sentiments from within the community. The paper asserts that the Caerphilly County Borough's community profile exemplifies the degree to which a wide analytical position must be adopted in order for a full and comprehensive examination to be offered.

From the Paper
"The geographical region which now forms Caerphilly Country Borough has undergone significant transformation over recent decades. Above all, this transformation can be seen in terms of industry and employment. Until the 1980s, employment in the area was heavily dominated by heavy industry, most notably coal. As such, community formation during these years could in many ways be accounted for on the basis of work and the working class based consciousness that emerged as a result (Glynn and Booth; 1996). The total removal of the coal industry as a form of employment has therefore meant that using the narrow confines of employment and class as a basis for profiling has become largely impossible."

Abstract
This paper explores the various forces that have caused the Borough Park community in Brooklyn New York to evolve over the past century. It explores the phenomenon of suburbanization and acculturation that took place in the 1920s in Boro Park, and the subsequent introduction of the Hasidic Jews to the community after World War II. It describes the present situation of this model community that has maintained its character as an Orthodox neighborhood within the larger multi-ethnic scene of New York City.

From the Paper
"Boro Park is an example of a thriving Jewish community in Brooklyn whose constant evolving character has been shaped by its inhabitants. During the past century the community of Boro Park has changed from one that chiefly attracted the acculturated middle-class American Jews in the 1920's, to one that was largely settled in the 1960's by Hasidic and "Hareidi" Jews. In understanding the mentality of American Jewry during the 20th century, Boro Park is an important model that exemplifies the desire among Jews in the 1920's toward acculturation and suburbanization. Presently, the Boro Park community serves as an apparent modern paradox where while the Jewish community has become an increasingly sectarian religious community, it simultaneously is developing into a modern, industrialized society. This transition, as well as the continued current struggle against acculturation, can be understood by examining the changing demographics of the population of Boro Park throughout the century, and understanding the external forces that triggered these changes. These forces, such as the move toward suburbanization and the influx of Hasidic Jews that arrived in New York as a result of World War II, provide an explanation as to why the shifts in this community occurred, and insight as to how these forces shaped the mentality of this dynamic community."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that obesity is a serious problem facing the citizens of America today that could lead to a variety of problems down the road, health problems that could further strain the health care industry and ultimately affect the future economic viability of the United States. The writer looks at obese individuals and the related ensuing diseases and health issues and presents a project that focuses on the citizens residing in Brooklyn, NY and in particular the Borough Park Community. The project concentrates on assessing and educating those citizens who are most at risk or are currently suffering from the effects of obesity. The writer concludes that the project seeks to develop solutions that impact not only the local community of Borough Park, but will also influence and impact communities around the nation, and ultimately around the globe.

Literature Review
The Plan

From the Paper
" The situation is that many of the nation's citizens are eating a less-healthy diet and a diet that is rich in fats and sugars. This type of diet can lead to obesity and the problems associated with being overweight. Diseases such as diabetes and hypertension are prevalent in high-risk individuals such as people suffering from obesity. Assessing the problem as it pertains to Borough Park is the primary goal of this project. Once the assessment is finished, then a further objective would be to create an educational program that will allow for nutritional instruction designed for this specific community and its citizens."

Abstract
This paper examine how AIDS is one of the most hotly debated topics of modern times, whether it is a question of what should be done to help those who have the disease, what may be done to prevent others from contracting it, or of the many moral arguments pro and con the lifestyles that result in its spread. It explores how one newspaper or magazine can cover it as a matter of science, whereas another can describe as a cultural inspiration, or a religious sin and how film, television, radio, and the arts all play their role in constructing what we see as the impact of this dread disease. In particular, it looks at AIDS and how it is depicted in one geographically small urban area, the New York City borough of the Bronx.

From the Paper
"Immediately, even before one considers the impact or image of AIDS, one must consider the fact that the Bronx itself conjures up certain mental pictures. For many these consist of visions of dilapidated buildings, graffiti, burnt-out cars, and other signs of urban decay, while for others, there is the daily drama of a vibrant multiracial community, the cultural accents of Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, Salvadorans, and African Americans. In the case of still others, there may be the scent of the Italian restaurants on Arthur Avenue, or the memories of long past evenings at the Loewe's Paradise, watching movies beneath the stars. Just as which Bronx you have in mind colors your view of today's Bronx, so too does it inform different media's depictions of AIDS in the Bronx."

Abstract
This paper examines the criminal statistics of the Borough of Brooklyn in New York City with respect to the national rates and those of the city at large. The paper reviews the historical trends between 1990 and 2007 with respect to the overall statistics and in particular, the murder rates are examined in detail. The murder rates of Brooklyn are compared to the city at large in light of the possibility of the lowering of the rate in one part of the city.

Abstract
In December of 2001, the Royal Borough of Notlington Library Service decided to implement an application that would best allow for a more efficient form of catalogue access on their networked computers. This system would improve functionality by allowing networked PCs to access a database that would define and describe the available resources within the Notlington library system, including select publication information and whether a specific source is available in the library. There is currently a question of moving this system to an online forum that would be outside of the local library network. This paper assesses the initial application and recommends transitional techniques that would allow the application to be better used in an accessible Internet format.

Abstract
This paper presents an examination of potential unexpected disasters that could effect the New York Borough of Queens and emergency procedures which would need to be taken. Possible problems mentioned include the ethnic richness, terror targets, air crashes, natural disasters and extreme temperatures. The author discusses procedures which should be taken for each of these disasters and stresses the need for disaster planning.

From the Paper
"When reflecting upon the correct procedures to pursue in the event of an emergency, it is important to be mindful of the specific types of hazards that might be more likely to face a particular area. Depending on the location and the nature of the area's topography, a particular area may be more likely to suffer emergency situations with natural causes, human causes, and technological causes than other areas. New York City, because of the events of September 11th, has become increasingly alert to the necessary procedures one must take in the event of unexpected disasters. However, the emergency procedures of the outer boroughs of the City have not always come under equal scrutiny as the emergency procedures of lower Manhattan. Thus it is important to review the possible emergencies that might afflict one of New York City's boroughs. In this particular case focus will be on the types of problems most likely to afflict the borough of Queens."

Abstract
This paper explains that the value of historic structures in this area is lucrative in terms of investment of any type and secure in terms of return-investment through return business in the form of tourists. The author stresses that the borough of Belmar and the surrounding and outlying areas are rich in the areas of science, military, government, social history, and architectural history. The paper concludes that, due to the small area of land that composes the borough of Belmar, the age of the building that constitutes the Belmar Railway Station, the location of the station, the going price of real estate in the area of Belmar on the Jersey Coast, and the immeasurable historical value of the station, any expenditures toward the preservation of the architectural structure of the nearly 100-year old station is a sound investment and should be strongly considered as a place of designation for historic structure grants. Many illustrations.

Abstract
This paper discusses that, if management is the process of achieving specific tasks through specific means in specific time frames with a set of predetermined resources, then to achieve this level of management, measuring the progress is essential. The author points out that, to serve the needs of a community, a government needs to rise above the lack of market-based accountability and to set itself standards and performance benchmarks by which it will operate and to which it will hold itself accountable. The paper demonstrates that, by placing information in front of the public, the London Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea government is committing itself to accountability to the people it serves, a valuable step for a government body.

From the Paper
"The ideas of performance management through performance measurement have been the backbone of private enterprise for decades. Without measuring performance, a company will quickly be replaced in the marketplace by its competitors. However, in the last decade, as business has shifted into a digitally enhanced production and performance environment, the idea of performance measurement has become even more important. The digital business age has created new competitive forces, which force businesses to review their business activity more frequently. In reality, a company must be in constant review of its progress toward stated goals while at the same time determining new goals and adopting processed to implement the new goals if they are to stay competitive."

Abstract
This paper will discuss how New York City voted for limitations on how long a public official may spend in his or her office. By understanding this recent event in New York City history, we can see how this has an effect on the present Mayor Rudy Guliani and how this will create change all across the board for New York politicians. This year, a new law goes into effect that limits the terms of New York City elected officials, forcing the mass retirement of most incumbents in the city - including the mayor, the comptroller, the public advocate, four of the five borough presidents and 36 of the 51 members of the City Council.
