ABSTRACT Introduction/Main Objectives: This study aims to analyze the ratio of regional dependence and independence in measuring the financial capacity of the Jambi Provincial Government for the 2016 - 2020 Fiscal Year. Background Problems: How big is the ratio of the contribution of Regional Original Revenue (PAD) to transfer funds from the center in the Jambi Provincial Government APBD in funding development financing for 2016-2020?. Research Methods: The research is quantitative using secondary data in the form of Regional Original Income and transfers funds from the Jambi Province Government Budget Realization Report for the 2016 - 2020 Fiscal Year. Finding/Results: Based on the results of the ratio analysis, the degree of financial dependence of the Jambi Provincial Government in the 2016 - 2020 fiscal year is classified as moderate, with an average overall ratio of 63.60%, meaning that the Jambi Provincial Government in carrying out development financing is still dependent on transfer funds from the center. Meanwhile, the degree of regional financial independence is also classified as moderate/participatory, with an average overall ratio of 57.13%. Conclusion: The contribution of regional Original Revenue in funding development financing cannot be entirely relied upon and still relies on transfer funds from the center.

I really like this web site which models web 2.0 communication inviting participation throughout the site on issues, stories, etc. while providing helpful information. Check it out. It also provides a link to a Presidential Transition Directory. The Transition Directory was developed to introduce Presidential nominees, appointees, and members of the President-elect's Transition Team to the operation of the Federal government and to the resources available to help them begin their service in the new Administration. Very helpful organizational chart and other information for students learning about government.

Up to date announcedments and information about Barack Obama. He invites people to share their inspiring stories from the campaign and election day. Every page invites people to provide feedback on his agenda for the presidency. Excellent model for web 2.0 and a tool for communication.

The plans of presidential candidates are never set in stone, if only because circumstances and the makeup of Congress change after the election. The uncertainty is even deeper in this election because Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain laid out most of their agenda before the government committed up to $700 billion to address the financial crisis. Obama acknowledges what is true for both: "The next president will have to scale back his agenda and some of his proposals." Yet neither candidate has spelled out what promises might have to be postponed or changed. With that caution, here's a look at where McCain and Obama stand on a selection of issues.

ABSTRACT In an organization, performance assessment is very important because this assessment can be used as a measure of the success of the organization within a certain period. The assessment can be used to improve or enhance the performance of the organization concerned. Government organizations are public organizations that aim to meet the needs and interests of the public, so the performance of these public organizations can only be said to be successful if they can realize their goals and mission. The success of an organization in improving its performance cannot be separated from the role of a leader, especially a change leader. A successful leader is an l leader who can mobilize aspects of input or resources, such as employees, budgets, facilities and infrastructure; information; and organizational culture. As well as those relating to the management process, planning, organizing, implementation, budgeting, supervision, and evaluation.
