create a booklet about the field of forensic psychology for potential students.
Booklet
Potential students often look for guidance regarding the programs that they are considering. You are a program assistant at a local university. You have been asked by
your department chair (psychology) to create a booklet about the field of forensic psychology for potential students. This booklet will be given out at information
sessions and will be sent to students requesting more information. The department chair asks you to create this booklet with the undecided student in mind, remembering
that while you don’t want to scare students away, you also want to be truthful about the field. She asks for the following information to be included:
A description of the educational levels required and recommended (i.e. what can a MA level forensic psychologist do, versus a Doctorate level professional). Different
roles that a forensic psychologist can take. This can include roles in the court and out as well as research possibilities. (2 pages)
A discussion of each of the following and discuss why is it important that all forensic psychologists need to be well-versed in them (3 pages):
Case Law
Specific Amendments to the U.S. Constitution and why they are important
Important past research in the field
Diversity issues
Ethical considerations
An analysis of at least three aspects of the American judicial system (such as eyewitness testimony, transfer of juveniles to criminal court, etc.), which are impacted
most heavily by psychology and psychological research (3 pages). Be sure to discuss:
Three aspects of the American judicial system
How psychology has impacted these aspects
One research study for each aspect that is considered pivotal, classic or ground breaking in the field.
By Monday, March 20, 2017 deliver your assignment to the M5: Assignment 1 Dropbox.
Your booklet needs to be at least 8 pages long. Because it is an informational booklet, it will not be formatted like a formal paper, but should be professionally and
attractively presented. Please remember that all citations should follow APA formatting rules, and the majority of the information should be in a formal academic
writing style. However, a minority of the information can be written in bulleted format.

Global Logistic/Transportation

Global Logistic/Transportation
Discussion: Global Logistic/Transportation

Amazon is losing money in logistics (see link). You can do an information search and find out they have been losing money on logistics for a number of years now.

Amazon Lost $7 billion in 2016 – Geekwire

http://www.geekwire.com/2017/true-cost-convenience-amazons-annual-shipping-losses-top-7b-first-time/

The class has been divided into 5 different groups. Each student has been assigned to one group and only one group. The groups are: Ocean Freight Transportation, Air
Freight Transportation, Semi Truck transportation, Local Delivery and Logistics Strategy. These are the same primary modes of transportation Amazon is investing in
currently. I did not includes Drones on the list, they are only test phase or in very limited commercial use for delivery services at this time.

Each of the transportation mode groups will list the advantages and disadvantages to Amazon of investing in their one mode of transportation. For example the Air
Freight Transportation Group will make a list of the advantages and disadvantages to Amazon of investing in Air Freight capabilities. The Ocean transportation group
will provide a list of the advantages and disadvantages of Amazon investing in ocean freight capabilities. The local delivery group will do the same for local delivery
services and the semi truck group will do the same for semi trucks (large tractor-trailer trucks with trailers typically 53 feet long in the USA).

The logistics strategy group will decide on which one of the transportation modes is most important for Amazon to invest in. This group will discuss why they think
this one mode of transportation is more important than all the others to Amazon.

The purpose of this exercise is explore how logistics is being used as a strategic tool by a company that is disrupting the retailing industry across the globe. It
will help us become familiar with the content in Chapters 11-13 in our textbook in what I hope is a interesting learning experience. Over the last few decades the
logistics industry has become increasingly consolidated. In the parcel business we have 4 dominant operators USPS, FEDEX, UPS, DHL (these are considered local delivery
operations). The ocean container industry is going through a dramatic consolidation now, as is the semi trucking industry).

While these industries are undergoing consolidation all of a sudden, Amazon, and I believe Alibaba also, are making huge investments in logistics. Why are they
attempting to enter into these consolidating industries is a good question for students of business to research. We will take some basic steps and look at the
advantages and disadvantages of different modes of transportation and a brief look at how they might fit for Amazon. I have no more insights than you have, we are all
learning by watching what is happening.

I have created 5 discussion boards, one for each group. I will also send an email to you with the group you have been assigned to randomly by D2L. Once you receive the
email on Monday Feb 27, feel free to contact each other or make individual postings. Make sure to review what each other has posted in your group. I want to see at
least one advantage or disadvantage from each person in the group. So don’t try and list everything you can think of, and don’t just retype what another member of your
group has already posted. I want to see that each student is actively learning and making a contribution. This is a discussion worth 5 points, it is not an individual
research paper. Sharing with each other in the group is an important part of learning.

Think of your group as advising the Amazon management team as to the advantages and disadvantages of your mode of transportation to Amazon. The Logistics Strategy also
only needs to focus on one mode of transportation, they need to recommend which one of the modes should be a top priority for Amazon.

Local Delivery Transportation
List the advantages and disadvantages to Amazon of investing in local delivery transportation capabilities.

Note:

We decided to do it individually. So one of my group member post this:

An advantage for Amazon investing in local delivery capabilities would be that they are able to accommodate fast delivery that Amazon guarantees. By investing in local
delivery capabilities Amazon would be able to control their delivery times, increasing the speed of deliveries when needed. This is important to a company like Amazon,
that offers 2 day and even 2 hour free shipping to its Amazon Prime members

Annotated References Assignment

The relationship between successful mobile marketing and customer engagement has been selected as the linking theme for the Final Essay Assignment. The issues raised
in the Summary #1 article “Brands in Context” (Simon, 2011) assisted with the development of this research focus. The following sources have been selected based upon
their relevance to the topic as well as their credibility and reliability:

Source #1
Simon, M. (2011). Brands in context.Journal of Advertising Research, 51, 189-194. Retrieved from http://ezproxy.okanagan.bc.ca/login?

Inthe journal article “Brands in Context”, Simon (2011) discusses the importance of developing and managing authentic brand ideals as the foundation of any
successful modern business strategy. The article defines brand ideals as the promotion of “higher-order” concepts relating to social, environmental, humanitarian
and/or personal aspirations that connect consumers’ desire for a better life with the products or services a company is providing. While tangible assets were very
important to a company’s value in the past, research shows that intangible assets, such as brands and brand ideals, now account for approximately 30% of the total
value of a company; thus, requiring business leaders to include purposeful brand development into their business plans (113 words).
Simon conducted extensive research to write this short supplemental piece published in the Journal of Advertising Research, and presents the findings in an
unbiased and easily understandable way by including examples of the brand ideals developed by the largest brands, Google, IBM and Apple as well as highlighting the
success of the Red Bull energy drink and Method home-cleaning product marketing campaigns to connect with people on a more personal and emotional level. Given the
rapid technological advances that mean more and more people around the world have access to information about various products and services available on the market,
Simon’s article is both timely and relevant for anyone interested in increasing their understanding of how to better connect with consumers by developing a business
strategy that taps into something more than just selling a product (136 words).

This first paragraph will provide a brief, high-level summary of your source. If it’s the source you have already summarized in class, you will have to revise the
summary you wrote on the article. The summary should use APA in-text citation and reporting expressions. The paragraph should follow a point-first structure and flow
in such a way that the point is properly developed. The paragraph should be 100-150 words long, double-spaced, 12 point font and aligned left. The margins are 1” wide
on top & bottom and .75” on the left & right.
This second paragraph will provide an evaluation of the credibility of the source. You will discuss its relevance, authority, timeliness, validity, argument, and
bias. Like the previous paragraph, this paragraph will use APA in-text citations and reporting expressions and follow a point-first structure. It will also be 100-
150 words long, in 12-point font and aligned left, with 1” wide margins on top & bottom and .75” on the left & right.

RU-32

You’re the CEO of a global pharmaceutical company. After decades of work (and the investment of hundreds of millions of dollars), your scientists have come up with a
major breakthrough. Your new drug, RU-32, is a low-cost anti-diabetic medication that dramatically stabilizes insulin levels. If approved, your company will own the
patent on a drug worth billions of dollars. However, during Phase III clinical trials, unexpected complications arose, and approval by the FDA is now unlikely. Without
FDA approval, you cannot sell RU-32 in the U.S. and most first-world countries. However, other countries––primarily in the third-world––will allow you to market the
drug without U.S. FDA approval. You must choose whether to stop all development and cancel the program, or proceed with manufacturing for sale to citizens of third-
world countries.

Inform the Board of Directors of your decision. Write a memo explaining your position and your reasons. Be specific and use detailed examples to support your main
points.

Over 400 words, please know this is a memo, not like a essay, and have 3 to 4 days to finish it. thank you.

conflict between discourse

conflict between discourse
essay: conflict between discourse
Throughout this quarter, we have looked at situations of conflict that have—at least in part—been due to differences in discourse. The Spirit Catches You and
You Falls Down tells us the story of Lia Lee and points to the ideological differences between the Hmong culture and the American medical culture as the primary reason
for Lia’s fate. Serial discusses at length the different ways Adnan’s actions can be interpreted depending on who is doing the interpreting. For your final paper in
this class, you will individually examine another case of discourse conflict.
There are two options for this paper:
1. Think about the discourse communities that you belong to, and consider a time when you felt conflict between two or more of your own discourses. Describe the
conflict and how you tried to overcome those differences. For this option, you must include citations from three sources: either Fadiman’s book or the Serial podcast,
and two additional discourse-related citations.

OR

2. Research an instance of conflict—such as a court case, a political issue, or a current event—and analyze that conflict from the perspective of discourse. How
might differences in discourse have led to the conflict, and how might this conflict be handled using awareness of discourse? For this option, you must include
citations from three sources: either Fadiman’s book or the Serial podcast, and two additional citations that establish your instance of conflict.
No matter which option you choose, the final result will be twofold: a 4 – 6 page academic essay and a multimodal text designed for a rhetorical context of your
choice.
You’ve had experience preparing an academic essay before: this essay will be prepared in MLA format with a Works Cited page and use vocabulary appropriate for
an academic audience.

We’ve practiced working with multimodality throughout our time together. Your multimodal text might be an audio podcast, a comic interpretation, a video, or any
number of alternatives. The only requirement is that you consider the audience for your new format by taking advantage of the affordances and working within the
constraints of your new medium.

Impact of a trauma-causing event on a survivor

Understanding the extent of the impact of a trauma-causing event on a survivor is critical. The use of assessment measures can greatly inform the counseling process as it provides rich information related to the level of emotional response a survivor may be experiencing. As a counselor, you can use the knowledge obtained from these assessments to inform your selection of counseling intervention strategies and approaches.Selecting the appropriate assessment and assessment method for a client is an important first step in the assessment process, and there are many resources from which to choose.

– Briefly describe the method or particular instrument you would use to assess the client presented in the case study and explain why you chose that method or instrument.

– Explain how you would integrate the use of this assessment into your personal counseling style.

– Briefly conceptualize this client’s case based on the crisis assessment.

Case Study “Jessie”

Jessie is an 11-year-old male. Six months ago, a tornado came through the town where he lives with his parents and two siblings. The tornado destroyed every house on the street, except his. The elderly lady who lived next door to him died in the tornado. The house down the street belonging to his best friend was demolished. His best friend’s family moved into temporary housing while their house was being rebuilt. Jessie was asleep when the tornado came through but was awakened by his panic-stricken mother who was screaming for all the children to run to the bathroom. Jessie is now overly protective of his siblings and has great difficulty falling asleep at night.

Discuss the use of uniform crime reporting

Choose a local, county, or state agency, and write a paper addressing the following topics:

· How are the criminal data at the selected department collected or captured and reported?

· Discuss the use of Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) and Incident-Based Reporting Systems (IBRS) as it relates to your selected agency.

· Choose 2 large municipal police departments such as Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, or 2 state policedepartments, and create a crime clock for the 2 selected agencies.
o Discuss the possible causes and reasons for the differences
