In February 2017, Rochelle Riley was reading Twitter posts and came
across a series of black-and-white photos of four-year-old Lola
dressed up as different African American women who had made
history. Rochelle was immediately smitten. She was so proud to see
this little girl so powerfully honor the struggle and achievement
of women several decades her senior. Rochelle reached out to Lola's
mom, Cristi Smith-Jones, and asked to pair her writing with
Smith-Jones's incredible photographs for a book. The goal? To teach
children on the cusp of puberty that they could be anything they
aspired to be, that every famous person was once a child who, in
some cases, overcame great obstacles to achieve. That They Lived:
African Americans Who Changed the World features Riley's grandson,
Caleb, and Lola photographed in timeless black and white, dressed
as important individuals such as business owners, educators, civil
rights leaders, and artists, alongside detailed biographies that
begin with the figures as young children who had the same
ambitions, fears, strengths, and obstacles facing them that readers
today may still experience. Muhammad Ali's bike was stolen when he
was twelve years old and the police officer he reported the crime
to suggested he learn how to fight before he caught up with the
thief. Bessie Coleman, the first African American female aviator,
collected and washed her neighbors' dirty laundry so she could
raise enough money for college. When Duke Ellington was seven years
old, he preferred playing baseball to attending the piano lessons
his mom had arranged. That They Lived fills in gaps in the history
that American children have been taught for generations. For
African American children, it will prove that they are more than
descendants of the enslaved. For all children, it will show that
every child can achieve great things and work together to make the
world a better place for all. That They Lived was made possible
through a grant provided by the Community Foundation for Southeast
Michigan.

The American Statistical Association (ASA) and the Association of
Computing Machinery (ACM) have longstanding ethical practice
standards that are explicitly intended to be utilized by all who
use statistical practices or computing, or both. Since statistics
and computing are critical in any data-centered activity, these
practice standards are essential to instruction in the uses of
statistical practices or computing across disciplines. Ethical
Reasoning for a Data-Centered World is aimed at any undergraduate
or graduate students utilizing data. Whether the career goal is
research, teaching, business, government, or a combination, this
book presents a method for understanding and prioritizing ethical
statistics, computing, and data science - featuring the ASA and ACM
practice standards. To facilitate engagement, integration with
prior learning, and authenticity, the material is organized around
seven tasks: Planning/Designing; Data collection; Analysis;
Interpretation; Reporting; Documenting; and Engaging in Team Work.
This book is a companion volume to Ethical Practice of Statistics
and Data Science, also published by Ethics International Press
(2022). These are the first and only books to be based on, and to
provide guidance to, the American Statistical Association (ASA) and
Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) ethical guideline
documents.
Ethical Practice of Statistics and Data Science is intended to
prepare people to fully assume their responsibilities to practice
statistics and data science ethically. Aimed at early career
professionals, practitioners, and mentors or supervisors of
practitioners, the book supports the ethical practice of statistics
and data science, with an emphasis on how to earn the designation
of, and recognize, "the ethical practitioner". The book features 47
case studies, each mapped to the Data Science Ethics Checklist
(DSEC); Data Ethics Framework (DEFW); the American Statistical
Association (ASA) Ethical Guidelines for Statistical Practice; and
the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) Code of Ethics. It is
necessary reading for students enrolled in any data intensive
program, including undergraduate or graduate degrees in
(bio-)statistics, business/analytics, or data science. Managers,
leaders, supervisors, and mentors who lead data-intensive teams in
government, industry, or academia would also benefit greatly from
this book. This is a companion volume to Ethical Reasoning For A
Data-Centered World, also published by Ethics International Press
(2022). These are the first and only books to be based on, and to
provide guidance to, the ASA and ACM Ethical Guidelines/Code of
Ethics.
Age-Friendly Neighbourhood Planning and Design Guidelines: A
Singapore Case Study provides evidence-based research and examples
of existing good practices on health-enabling, age-friendly
neighbourhood provision. These relate to the planning and design of
outdoor spaces and enabling opportunities for active, healthy
ageing. Importantly, our research prioritises the need to engage
with older people when creating neighbourhood environments that
contribute to healthy ageing in place.The book and its
supplementary toolkits touches on 3 main stages of age-friendly
neighbourhood project - planning (environmental audit),
implementation (planning and design guidelines) and evaluation of
progress made (post-implementation review). We hope that these
materials will contribute to the ongoing discourse of how to
(re)envision urban neighbourhoods to enhance health and quality of
life as people age. Needless to say, they do not supersede but
support existing guidelines or regulations to improve everyday
neighbourhood environment for healthy ageing in place.Co-creation
with older people is a central tenet of our research on ageing
urbanism at the Lee Kuan Yew Centre for Innovative Cities. The Lee
Li Ming Programme in Ageing Urbanism conducts applied research on
built environment and health of ageing population, arguing for a
more integrated environmental, social and spatial approach to
identify the connection between the built environment, health and
quality of life that can inform the design for age-friendly
neighbourhoods and communities.
