Importance of recognizing the signs of stalking,Criminal definition of stalking for your jurisdiction (cite a relevant stalking statute)

Question
When you were attending AIU, you thought of yourself being an undercover narcotics officer or working for a bank as a fraud investigator, but you were initially exposed to the role of a victims’ witness assistant during the Criminal Careers course at AIU. Then, your best friend became a victim of a crime of violence after being stalked for several months, and that incident changed your life. As you provided comfort and support to your friend during the judicial process, you were exposed first-hand to the role played by the victims’ witness assistant during the criminal judicial process. The role of the victims’ witness assistant changed you, and you decided then that you wanted to pursue a career as a victims’ rights advocate somewhere. It has been a year since you were able to start your career in the victims’ rights advocate position, and every day, you feel that you are making a difference in society and your jurisdiction.

The prosecutor for whom you have been working as a victims’ witness assistant has had several calls from victims of stalking. Some cases seem more serious than other cases; however, one case that no one in the office thought was serious resulted in the victim?s death. Everyone thought the couple was just going through a difficult breakup. This case had a tremendous impact on the entire office?especially you.

To help make sure that the office does not minimize a potentially dangerous situation again, the prosecutor has asked you to put together an intake, evaluation, and assessment instrument to be used in taking information on stalking situations. Be sure to check stalking statutes, and cite the elements of the crime of stalking in your documents. Complete the following:

Create a topic paper (2?3 pages) in APA format discussing the following:
Importance of recognizing the signs of stalking
Criminal definition of stalking for your jurisdiction (cite a relevant stalking statute)
Key facts that you felt all office personnel should know about stalking, such as the remedies designed to help a stalking victim
Create an intake form in addition to the topic paper that can be used to get important information from alleged victims of stalking.
The form should require information about the nature and frequency of stalking and should determine if the elements of the crime of stalking are present.
The form should also ask questions that will elicit answers that help indicate what type of stalking situation exists, asking such things such as is the victim is acquainted with the suspect, and if so, how; if not, how does the victim think the suspect knows or has encountered the victim? It should ask for the frequency of the annoyance and if the victim is in fear and why. Most stalking statutes require a pattern of harassment or annoyance that would make a reasonable person afraid or seriously annoyed; the form should ask something that would capture that information. The form should indicate whether or not there is a pending divorce or other legal matters between the 2 parties.
Create an evaluation and assessment form in addition to the topic paper based on the intake form you have created that will help rank the seriousness of the threat from the suspect who is stalking.
The evaluation and assessment form should indicate your familiarity with the contemporary information on what constitutes the most dangerous threat to the victim and then provide a ranking accordingly.
Your forms should reflect contemporary information and the legal definition of the crime of stalking and what factors distinguish the most serious situations.

Autodesk Simulation Moldflow Insight (ASMI) project

Autodesk Simulation Moldflow Insight (ASMI) is an advanced software for simulating, analysing, optimising and validating plastics parts and mould design for injection moulding process. The project involves undertaking the warpage and shrinkage analysis of a given plastic part for different cooling channel designs in the mould using the Autodesk Simulation Moldflow Insight (ASMI) 2014 software located in your computer lab.

Select any appropriate plastic part preferably with curved geometry, which can be injection moulded. Select a project partner, and then inform the Unit Convenor about the details of the part and the names of your group partners by e-mail within the first two weeks of the semester.

The project work involves the following main tasks:
(1) Select a small size plastic part which can be injection moulded. Select the material of the part.
(2) Create the CAD model of the selected plastic part using any CAD system.
(3) Using ASMI software, perform the Cool+fill+pack+warp analysis on the part.
(4) Carry out a comparative analysis of effect of cooling system configuration on the warpage and shrinkage of the plastic part, with the aim of determining which cooling configuration will provide minimum cycle time (time to reach ejection temperature) and minimum warpage. You will need to create a few different cooling system configurations for the part including the conformal cooling channel type to compare the results.
(5) Other analyses useful to achieve the objective may include optimum gate location analysis, minimisation of air traps, weld lines, sink marks etc.

Assume all appropriate dimensions of the part of your choice (in SI units), and use appropriate processing conditions for the AMI analysis.

Project Report: The group project report in hard copy and a soft copy should be well documented and submitted by the due date and must include the following information:

? Introduction and Objective: Reasons and aims for the analysis.
? Part Model: Detailed description with images; which type of mesh (Mid-plane, Fusion, Midplane) chosen and why; any modification needed to the model to run the analysis.
? Materials: The materials used in the analysis and any properties used for the analysis.
? Processing Conditions: All necessary processing conditions including mould temperature, melt temperature, set fill time, pressure factor, filling profile etc.
? Results and Analysis: Full details with various diagrams, graphs, plots, tables, summary of results (use percentage increase, percentage decrease of a result when possible).
? Discussion: Discuss your results, problems faced, how they were overcome to get acceptable results, best scenario, etc.
? Conclusion: General conclusion on your work and results.
? References: List books, websites, published journal papers etc you have used to help understand the project.

Brenda and the Love Ladies

Guidelines for Review Essay This handout contains guidelines for the review essay of the book below. Recall that this essay is worth 15 percent of your total course grade. Spahn, Brenda and Irene Zutell. 2014. Miss Brenda and the Loveladies. Waterbook Press. ISBN: 9780307732170. These guidelines should be followed closely. Failure to follow them will result in a significant deduction of points. Each essay should contain 4-6 double-spaced pages of text (reference list not included in this total) and should include three elements. First, provide a summary of the book. Focus on the most important information without trying to summarize every single detail. Second, provide a 1-2 paragraph critique of the book. Topics for critique might include the organization of chapters, authors? writing style, authors? ability to summarize material, authors? ability to make an argument, and overall impact of the book. Be sure that you give specific examples in your critique. Third, pick three (3) of our course readings and explain how what you learned from those readings relates to content from the Spahn and Zutell book. Each chapter in the Johnson and Kerley books counts as one reading, and all of the research articles count as one reading. You will need to prepare a reference list and include it as the final page of your essay. Formatting Guidelines: ? Type your first and last name in the title of the Microsoft Word document. Do NOT include a title page. ? The first page of text should be numbered page 1. ? Use Times New Roman s?r?pt with a font size of 12 for the entire document. ? Make the entire document double-spaced. ? Tab once at the beginning of each new paragraph. ? Do not include bullets, numbered lists, or drawings in your paper. Use only text. ? Pick one referencing style and use it for in-text citations and for the reference page(s). ? Margins should be at least one inch all around (most programs are preset this way). Substantive Guidelines: ? Be sure to define any major terms, concepts, or theories used in the paper. ? Always use the spellchecker function in your word processing program to check for spelling errors. ? Always proofread your paper because there are many errors that the spellchecker will not catch. For example, if you meant to use the word ?where? but instead typed ?were? the spellchecker would not catch that. ? Do not use contractions. It is better to say ?she does not? than ?she doesn?t.? ? Use only gender-neutral language. Thus, if you do not know the gender of someone, do not use ?his? or ?him.? You can typically avoid this situation by using plural pronouns. 2 ? Possessives, however, are fine to use, but be careful to place the apostrophe in the right place. For example, it is correct to say ?Miner’s article was written in the 1950s.? However, saying ?Miner’s arguing that people should be cultural relativists? is incorrect. In that case ?Miner’s? is not possessive but is an incorrect substitute for ?Miner is.? To provide another example, if you say ?Dr. Kerley?s going to his house? that is incorrect (it should be ?Dr. Kerley is?). However, if you say ?we are going to Dr. Kerley?s class? that is correct. ? Unless asked for your opinion on a particular topic, use first-person terms like ?I? or ?we? only sparingly. ? Pay attention to the length of paragraphs. A paragraph that lasts one full page is too long, while one that is only one sentence is too short. Generally, your paragraphs should not be longer than one-half to three-fourths of a page. ? Watch for grammatical errors in which an incorrect verb tense is used. For example, ?she went to the game? is correct, but ?she had went to the game? is incorrect (it should be ?had gone?). Likewise, ?he was absent? is correct, but ?they was absent? is incorrect (it should be ?they were?). ? Try to avoid using absolute terms like ?always, invariably, truth.? We rarely deal with absolutes, so use qualifiers like ?tends to, may influence, may lead to, or is correlated with.? ? Along this same line, be careful not to make declarative statements for which you do not have empirical support. For example, if you say ?All Florida Gator fans are obnoxious,? you have made a generalization that you cannot support with any empirical evidence. Regardless of how strongly you believe in something, do not make strong and absolute statements unless you have empirical information to support it (the fact that your grandmother told you does not make the statement valid). ? Use direct quotations only sparingly, especially ones that are lengthy. Most of the time, you should be able to paraphrase someone else?s work and still make the same point. ? Try to be as concise and clear as possible when writing. Also, make sure there is a flow to your writing. Each sentence should logically flow into the next and each paragraph should flow to the next.

tort and criminal law in business

You can and should complete this assignment using the materials in Chapters 6, 7 and 10 of the text book. You do not need to consult other sources to complete the work, and will receive no additional credit if you do. Louie?s & Bob?s Italian Autoparts Louie owns an auto supply store in Downey; it is very specialized and carries only parts for Italian cars. The business was Louie?s father?s before he died, when Louie took it over. Louie?s good friend Bob has worked for him for more than 10 years, and 5 years ago they changed the name from ?Louie?s Motor Parts? to ?Louie & Bob?s Italian Autoparts? even though Bob was not an owner. Louie, as the owner, worked only part time at the store, and put a lot of trust in Bob, who ran the day to day aspects of the business. Bob did all of the books, ordered the inventory, signed company checks, and was there every day to see the customers. Recently Louie and Bob had been discussing how Bob could become a partner in the business. The store had inventory worth more than $250,000, and Louie wanted Bob to ?buy-in? to the business by paying him $100,000 for a 1/3 share, but Bob did not have anything close to that amount. When Bob went on a two-week vacation Louie worked every day at the store. Louie had not looked at the banking records for several months, and decided to go through the recent bank statements. Louie saw to his horror that Bob had been writing bad checks on the account to their suppliers; the bank was threatening to close the checking account and some suppliers had started to ship parts on a ?COD? (cash on delivery) basis. Louie decided to hire an investigator to see what was going on. The investigator discovered that Bob had been taking most of the cash out of the register during his shifts and had started a competing business selling auto parts at local swap meets. The investigator also observed Bob taking inventory from Louie & Bob?s Italian Autoparts and selling it at the swap meets. Please answer the following three (3) questions: (1) Can Louie sue Bob in tort for his actions? If so, what torts do you think he committed? (Limit yourself to the torts described in the textbook). (2) Can Bob be criminally prosecuted for his actions? If so, what crimes do you think he committed? (Limit yourself to the crimes described in the textbook). (3) Explain the differences in the procedures that take place in (1) a civil lawsuit filed by Louie against Bob to recover damages for Bob?s conduct, and (2) a criminal prosecution of Bob for the same conduct.

Statistics I ? First Analysis Project

You are part of a research team that is studying academic motivation in high school students. A question has arisen regarding the strength of the relationship between academic motivation and achievement. Some members of the team believe there is a strong positive relationship between academic motivation and achievement, while others don?t think the two variables are related much, if at all.

To provide some information relevant to this discussion, a small study was designed. A random sample of 50 high school seniors from the local school district agreed to participate. Each student filled out a measure of academic motivation and released his/her SAT-math scores to the researchers. The data for this study are provided on the following page.

The measure of academic motivation was the Peabody Academic Motivation Scale (PAMS). Studies of the reliability and validity of scores obtained from using this instrument have been favorable when the instrument was used with high school students. The possible scores range from 0 to 100. The SAT-math scores can range from 200 to 800 and have also been shown to be reasonably reliable and valid in previous studies.

For this project you should:

1. Analyze each of the variables individually (mean, SD, skewness, kurtosis)
2. Analyze the relationship between the two variables (scatterplot and correlation)
3. Write a one or two paragraph summary of the results

Please turn in (1) the summary, (2) the program, and (3) the output.

Assignment: Case 2: Regulatory Compliance

Now that you have completed the policies, processes, and procedures for Dr. Fellows, it’s time to consider staffing, compliance, and legal issues. Through the analyzing stage of the project, you found that Dr. Fellows did not have adequate staff, and it was unclear if any staff were certified, with the exception of the lead RN. You also discovered that most of the staff are unfamiliar with modern medical EMR/EHR technologies. Additionally, office staff have not been using the proper consent to treat forms, release of information forms and OSHA standards were not being followed. You want Dr. Fellows and his staff to understand how running a clinic is a service industry and how important state and federal regulatory compliance along with customer satisfaction and delivering quality care is to the future success of the practice. You have proposed the following staffing levels for the clinic: Licensed staff: 1 RN 3 certified medical assistants 4 certified medical administrative office assistants Nurse practitioner or physician’s assistant Non-licensed staff: 1 office manager You have now been tasked with presenting your staffing proposal to Dr. Fellows. Create a 9-slide Microsoft? PowerPoint? presentation with detailed speaker notes in which you discuss the following: Describe the importance of health care as a service business. Describe the challenges caused by advances in technology. Identify the effects of regulations on the health care office. Compare licensing requirements for health care workers using the staffing proposal mentioned above. Explain the importance of monitoring compliance in the health care office. Cite 2 peer-reviewed, scholarly, or similar references to support your presentation. Cite any graphics from other sources used in your slides. Format your presentation according to APA guidelines.
