Please watch library tutorial #1. The tutorial is linked to at the top of the list ofContent items

The following task is designed to help you become familiar with UMUC’s Information and Library Services. Completing this exercise might help you get started on developing a topic for the white paper.

Please watch library tutorial #1. The tutorial is linked to at the top of the list ofContent items for this week.

The tutorial is designed to demonstrate some searching strategies when finding articles through OneSearch, a research tool that allows you to search on many databases at one time.

After you have watched the tutorial, please complete the following tasks. Post your responses to this conference thread.

Let us assume you work for a company that is hiring more and more employees of the millennial generation.

Your supervisor has asked you to conduct research on issues regarding employees from the millennial generation. For example, she mentions that millennial individuals may have different expectations of the work environment from those of workers from older generations. In addition, she mentions that millennials have different habits with regard to their use of technology than workers from older generations exhibit.

The instructions you have been given by your supervisor are quite broad. But let us assume that this is the directive you have been given.

For this reason, you will conduct a very general search on millennials and their work or technology habits. You are not quite sure how to focus the topic, but you know that you would like to pursue this general topic and focus it later.

1. Search on some terms and find four articles on this topic. Your search can be quite broad at this stage. Try to use some search phrases that require that you use quotation marks, as the video demonstrates.

Please write the topic on which you searched and the search terms you used to search on it.

2. In addition, for the four articles you found, please write titles of the four articles and the journals in which they appeared. You don’t have to cite anything in APA format, or anything of that nature. Just post the titles and the journal names.

 When is a stripe just a stripe? Andre on Stella 

Carl Andre, “Preface to Stripe Painting (1959),” in Stiles and Selz, Theories and Documents of Contemporary Art: A Sourcebook of Artists’ Writings (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1996), 124. 

Minimalist Carl Andre wrote the short text “Preface to Stripe Painting” in 1959 for Dorothy C. Miller’s Sixteen Americans catalogue, published in conjunction with an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York (MoMA). In it, Andre outlines his view of fellow artist Frank Stella’s stripe paintings, such as The Marriage of Reason and Squalor, II (1959), a series of works that organize freehand black enamel paint stripes into linear configurations. For Andre, Stella’s work is subjectless; or, to put it another way, the subject is only the stripe. Andre writes: “There is nothing else in the painting.” (124) Andre seems to support Stella’s interest in the selfreflexive nature of painting, stating that the works are “not symbolic,” or expressive. (124) Instead, the stripes only evoke “the paths of brush on canvas” and therefore “lead only into painting.” (124) For Andre, Stella’s paintings are about painting; about the action of mark making. He privileges the control of the artist’s hand on the brush as it touches the canvas. In a larger context, Andre’s writing supports the central goals of the minimalist movement, a “style that uses pared-down elements” to explore the limits of the expressive capabilities of the medium. Indeed, he opens his text by stating: “Art excludes the unnecessary.” (124) 

While Andre is writing about fellow artist Frank Stella, we could easily apply this interest in the “medium as the message,” to quote Marshall McLuhan, to Andre’s own minimalist sculptures of the late-1960s. For example, Andre’s 144 Lead Square of 1969 is comprised of 144 one-foot square tiles of lead organized into a twelve by twelve grid and laid on the floor. When assembled, the grid therefore measures 12 foot by 12 foot and is located at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. This sculpture is all about materials and, like Stella’s stripes, was one in a series of works. Andre made six square sculptures each of a different material: aluminum, steel, zinc, magnesium, copper, and lead. Each work “presented [the materials] in their raw state.” The sculptures also embraced the rigid precision of the gridded form of the tiles. Finally, the artwork was about the floor itself and about flatness, as visitors were invited to walk upon the sculpture in the gallery. If, in his 1959 text, Andre had supported Stella’s interest in the formal qualities of the painted stripe, by 1969 he too had “excluded the unnecessary” in his own work in order to focus exclusively on material (different metals) and on form (the square).

 – Naomi

 __________________________________________________________________ 

The example text: 

“Art excludes the unnecessary. Frank Stella has found it necessary to paint stripes. There is nothing else in his painting. 

Frank Stella is not interested in expression or sensitivity. He is interested in the necessities of painting. 

Symbols are counters passed among people. Frank Stella’s painting is not symbolic. His stripes are the paths of brush on canvas. These paths lead only into painting.”

Your third assignment in WRTG 394 involves making a proposal about the topic for your research report. You should focus on the following as you prepare your report:

1) Being specific – your assignment directions (located in the assignment area of the classroom) give you good examples of ways in which you can make sure that you are proposing a solution to a specific problem. You must answer the question, “How will MY workplace or community (this should be narrowly defined as your neighborhood, apartment community, base housing community, etc.) be made better by the solution(s) I recommend?”

2) Identify a specific decision maker (or makers if, for example, you are proposing a solution to a workplace issue in your department that might require action by the HR director as well as your dept. head). Examples of such persons might be your apartment community manager, the director of base housing where you are stationed, your department head in your workplace, your commander for your military unit.

3) Use some primary research – interviews with co-workers, photographs showing a problem like the need for recycling or going to a paperless office, screen captures showing the large numbers of emails employees must deal with on a daily basis.

4) Use a visual of some kind – you could make a simple table, chart or graph (your own original creation, not simply copied from a secondary source such as a book or article or photographs (see above for examples).

This assignment can be invaluable to you in preparing for your research report. Note what the assignment directions say:

You will find that writing up the proposal will be invaluable in eventually putting together your final research-based report. You will be able to apply the scholarly research you conducted for writing assignment #2 to your specific proposal and evidence of the problem that you have gathered for writing assignment #3.

For this topic you should post the following:

1) a paragraph in which you describe the topic you are proposing and the audience (the decision maker(s) mentioned above;

2) a sample of your visual (this can be revised and improved as you eventually compose the research report).

Respond to at least one classmate’s post.

Distance learning, writing homework help

Distance Learning

The New Media Consortium consists of educators and technologists exploring new technologies and their impact on the future of education. Each year the NMC publishes a Horizon Report that describes emerging technologies likely to have an impact on “learning, teaching, and creative inquiry in education” (NMC, 2016). These reports provide insights for educators, leaders and policy makers. The report examines key trends and challenges that will directly impact higher education and K-12 schools.

Instructions:
First select and review any one of the most recent publications of the Horizon report:

Describe two key trends that interested you most. This is to be a thoughtful posting that demonstrates your research and reflection on each of the Key Trends you describe. Think of yourself as someone who is presenting these key trends to fellow educators as you respond to the following items in your post.
For each of two Key Trends:

  • Describe the Key Trend(s) in detail, including any background information and events and current influences leading up to it.
  • Describe an example or scenario that demonstrates the trend in action. Perhaps a classroom or training room situation, or it could be an event that impacts organizations at a broader level. Help your reader connect the trend with real events and activities they can relate to.
  • Discuss Policy and Leadership implications. What should leaders and policy makers do to get ahead of the curve with this new innovation?
  • Finally provide and describe a resource or two that demonstrates each trend. It could be a blog, a website, a journal article, or some other resource. Describe the resource and how it illustrates or supports your position on the key trends you identified in the Horizon Report.

“One of These Days”, Garcia Gabriel Marquez, writing homework help

  1. Review the chapter “Writing about Literature” (pp. 1089-1142) in your Backpack Literature textbook and model the format of your essay on the annotated sample essays in the chapter. ASSIGNMENT: Write a short essay (750 words) using one of the drama analysis prompts below. For this paper assignment, we will continue to work with scholarly sources in order to use what specialists in the genre of drama have to say and to build upon their work to frame our own views in our our own academic writing. From the Graff/Birkenstein readings assigned last week (see the Week 4 Learning Modules folder) and the Week 4 Discussion Activity, you learned about how to effectively read, quote, and respond to sources by furthering the conversation — by either agreeing with a difference, by disagreeing with reasons, or agreeing and disagreeing simultaneously. Now it is time to demonstrate what you’ve learned by critically reading scholarly sources, effectively framing quotations from those sources, and presenting your original viewpoint by using one of the three ways to respond. For this assignment, you should frame and respond to at least one quotation from the scholarly source you used last week in the Week 4 Discussion Activity (it doesn’t have to be the quote you wrote about in the Week 4 DB activity), and search the TROY Library databases for one additional scholarly source that addresses a specific topic from the prompts below. Prompt #1: Take just a single line or sentence from either Susan Glaspell’s Trifles or Sophocles’ Oedipus the King that you think stands out for some reason as greatly important. Perhaps it states a theme, reveals a character, or serves as a crisis (turning point). Write a critical analysis demonstrating its importance — how it functions, why it is necessary. Essay Outline: The introduction should identify the play under consideration, its author, and any necessary background information that is significantly relevant to the main focus of your essay. The introduction should conclude with your original idea (your thesis) presented as a response to an effectively framed quotation from one of the scholarly sources you found in the Troy Library databases (use the templates for introducing, explaining, and framing quotations in Graff/Birkenstein’s Chapter Three — pp. 42-50). Body paragraphs should support and develop your thesis with specific references to the play, bolstered by effective responses to your scholarly articles. Use the templates in Graff/Birkenstein for introducing, explaining, and framing a quotation (Chapter Three — pp. 42-50) and the templates for responding to sources in Graff/Birkenstein’s Chapter Four — pp. 55-66. Be sure to clarify what you “say” from what your source “says” by using the templates from Graff/Birkenstein’s Chapter Five (“Distinguishing What You Say from What They Say” — pp. 68-75). Your conclusion should place your original argument within a larger, meaningful context for your reader.Prompt #2: Identify two or three meaningful objects in either Susan Glaspell’s Trifles or Sophocles’ Oedipus the King that you think stand out for some reason as greatly important. Try to relate the singular importance of each object to the play as a whole. Essay Outline: The introduction should identify the play under consideration, its author, and any necessary background information that is significantly relevant to the main focus of your essay. The introduction should conclude with your original idea (your thesis) presented as a response to an effectively framed quotation from one of the scholarly sources you found in the Troy Library databases (use the templates for introducing, explaining, and framing quotations in Graff/Birkenstein’s Chapter Three — pp. 42-50). Body paragraphs should support and develop your thesis with specific references to the play, bolstered by effective responses to your scholarly articles. Use the templates in Graff/Birkenstein for introducing, explaining, and framing a quotation (Chapter Three — pp. 42-50) and the templates for responding to sources in Graff/Birkenstein’s Chapter Four — pp. 55-66. Be sure to clarify what you “say” from what your source “says” by using the templates from Graff/Birkenstein’s Chapter Five (“Distinguishing What You Say from What They Say” — pp. 68-75). Your conclusion should place your original argument within a larger, meaningful context for your reader.
    SOURCE CITATION: Your essay must properly cite either Trifles or Oedipus the King and the two required scholarly sources. Correct source usage consists of two elements: (1) brief in-text citations for any idea or passage that is not your original idea; and (2) a properly formatted list of all Works Cited at the end of the essay. Your Writers Reference textbook contains sections on evaluating and using sources and avoiding plagiarism. Email me with any questions about allowable use.FORMAT: The essay must conform to MLA standards: double-space, twelve-point font (Times New Roman or Courier), and one-inch margins on all pages. Your Writers Reference textbook contains sections on MLA format instructions and models.EVALUATION: 15% Introduction: You effectively identify the author and play under consideration and provide brief and relevant background information if necessary.
    15% Thesis: You state your main point (or argument) in 1-2 sentences. The thesis is the culmination of your introduction.30% Organization. Your essay should follow that of a typical literary critique: Since your focus must be on critical analysis, your essay must contain well-structured supporting paragraphs that contain a topic sentence, quotes from the primary text (the play you are writing about) and secondary sources (the two scholarly articles you are using to respond to), an explanation/discussion of the significance of the quotes you use in relation to your thesis, and a concluding sentence or two that situates the entire paragraph in relation to the thesis. Your thesis will focus on some kind of critical analysis of the primary text, so your supporting paragraphs should be organized around each of the quotes you use, explaining the significance of the quotes and why (or how) they illustrate your main point, but you also need to make sure that your paragraphs contain strong transitions and at least six (or more) sentences.10% Conclusion: Regardless of the argument you make, you want a conclusion that avoids summarizing what you’ve just said, and please avoid writing, “In conclusion.…” Your aim in a conclusion is to place the discussion in a larger context. For example, how might your critical analysis of a single line (or sentence) relate to other important single lines in the work? How might your thesis about important objects be applied to other less important objects found in the text? 15% Grammar and mechanics: Your paper avoids basic grammar mistakes, such as dropped apostrophes in possessives, subject/verb disagreement, arbitrary tense switches, etc. The paper demonstrates a commitment to proofreading by avoiding easy-to-catch typos and word mistakes (effect for affect, for example). The paper adheres to MLA formatting style for in-text citations. Your paper uses the active voice rather than the passive voice and demonstrates an understanding of how to use active verbs (no “to be” verbs) and concise, concrete language.
    15% Presentation: Your paper meets the minimum length criteria of 750 words, is typed with a title and your name on it. Your paper must be fully double-spaced throughout to allow room for my comments and editing or the paper will be returned ungraded.

English Literature Cultural Conflict Quotations Discussion

Choose 3 of the 5 readings from the below:

Also choose 1 of the ideas below.

  • The presence or absence of empathy
  • The harms of colonialism
  • Social class conflict
  • Cultural conflict
  • Civic violence
  • Unintended consequences
  • Modernist and/or Postmodern fiction
  • The influence of media
  • The nature of reality
  • Other? Propose your topic to me in the Inbox

    What do the three works show us about this idea? How are the works related?

The best way to start this paper is to re-read or at least look over the works you want to write about and copy/paste quotations that you think pertain to the idea you choose. Remember that you are not summarizing the works: you are explaining one of their major themes and showing how the 3 works relate to each other.
Not all ideas will work equally well with all stories. It is advisable to do some background research: If you’re discussing post modernism, for instance, you must define it and cite sources of your definition.

Below are grading criteria: note that there is a slight difference from the previous week:

  • Quality: A good paper will have a purpose that will interest the reader and will not be totally obvious. It will go beyond class discussion and show evidence of your own thought.
  • Organization: Your paper must have a discernible beginning, middle, and end as well as paragraphs. There must be a reason for the ordering of the information in your paper. Your introduction must give an overview of your paper, mentioning both stories that you will write about.
  • Accuracy and Clarity:You should not distort the story or conveniently leave out evidence that doesn’t fit your purpose. While varying interpretations are possible, you must be correct about the factual details of the story. Additionally, I must be able to understand what you’re saying.
  • Format and Editing: Put your name/English 2/Assignment 2 in the top left. Give your paper a title, centered, correctly capitalized. The paper must be double spaced, 12 pt type, spell-checked and carefully proofread. You must have a reasonable command of the conventions of formal academic writing. Name your file Lastname,Assn 2
  • Handling of Evidence: You must refer to the text by direct quotation and paraphrase in order to back up your assertions.
    If you are unsure about how to do this, see

LEO Using Quotations or the OWL at Purdue University (a more detailed discussion)

You must incorporate quotations gracefully into the paper, introducing them and commenting on their significance. Remember that the quotation doesn’t speak for itself – you are the interpreter.

Here is a copy/paste from “Using Quotations Effectively.” Be sure that follow these instructions:

  1. Introduce your quotations.A quotation should never suddenly appear out of nowhere. Some kind of information about the quotation is needed. Name the author, give his or her credentials, name the source, give a summary. You won’t do all of these each time, but you should usually name the author. For example:
    a. But John Jones disagrees with this point, saying, “Such a product would not sell.”
    b. In an article in Time Fred Jackson writes that frogs vary in the degree of shyness they exhibit: “The arboreal tree frogs seem to be especially. . . .”
  2. Discuss your quotations. Do not quote someone and then leave the words hanging as if they were self explanatory. What does the quotation mean and how does it help establish the point you are making? What is your interpretation or opinion of it? Quotations are like examples: discuss them to show how they fit in with your thesis and with the ideas you are presenting. Remember: quotations support or illustrate your own points. They are not substitutes for your ideas and they do not stand by themselves.

It is often useful to apply some interpretive phrasing after a quotation, to show the reader that the you are explaining the quotation and that it supports your argument:

  • Here we see that
  • This statement shows
  • Clearly, then,
  • We can conclude from this that
  • This tells us that
  • From this we can understand that

Use of Sources Other Than the Texts: You are not required to use additional sources other than the stories, and necessary background readings, but if you do, you must acknowledge them in the text and attach a works consulted list. Even paraphrases of other ideas must be acknowledged. See links available in Week 1, Paper 1, for more information on how to do this.

Minimal Length: 750 words (3 double spaced 12 point pages) minimum, though longer is better.

Virtual Manipulative, writing assignment help

Here is another reply for a list 100 words. Here is the post.

Topic One: The first virtual manipulative I explored was “Attribute Trains.” This manipulative is for Pre-K to 2nd Grade students and is in the Geometry category. The main reason this manipulative stood out to me was for its Train aspect. I thought using a train was a great way to introduce and teach students about shapes and their defining attributes. Most students in the lower grades are still very interested in trains, cars, trucks, and boats. Using one of these already interesting items to teach a new concept keeps the students engaged, interested, and having fun while learning. I also liked that the manipulative was teaching more than just shapes. It includes colors, counting, patterns, and problem solving. A great way to incorporate this manipulative into the classroom would be through group work. After the students independently use the manipulative on the computer, they could then do an activity as a group at their desks. The students would work together to create an attribute train using tangram shapes and then show the other groups what their train looks like.

Topic Two: The second virtual manipulative I explored was “Fifteen Puzzle.” This caught my eye because I remember playing it in school with actual boards that my teacher had. It is a fun way to teach children how to count to fifteen, number recognition, number order, as well as problem solving strategies. The great thing about this virtual manipulative is that you can track each student’s ability to complete the puzzle and then incorporate the puzzle into your physical classroom. The teacher can get actual boards and place the students in pairs: one student who does very well with the puzzle and one who struggles. They can help each other solve the puzzle and gain social skills and extra work time while doing so.

Technology is an important part of mathematics in today’s classroom. Student now have easier access to technology and are becoming more interested in using it to learn new concepts. It is mentioned in the Enhancing Mathematical Learning in a Technology-Rich Environment article, that by using technology to incorporate many representations of the mathematics concept, students are more likely to advance their mathematical thinking process. Using the Virtual Manipulatives website would be an example of incorporating technology in mathematics. There are many mathematics concepts on the website that would interest students of all ages.

Need help writing an essay on informed consent as a standard part of research studies

Informed consent is a standard part of research studies. As part of the IRB application process, researchers create a sample consent form that is submitted with their study protocol. This consent form will be used with participants to inform them of the study and, once the study has been explained, the participants will sign the informed consent form. As part of the process, the informed consent form needs to include a description of what the study involves, including risks and benefits, if the study is confidential, and how the study data is used.

The Unit 3 Assignment will include two parts; the consent form and the paper. Both parts should be presented in the following manner with a title, introduction, conclusion, and reference page. Submit the assignment as multiple attachments including the following:

The sorter system should distinguish between eight ping pong balls: 3 heavy, 2 medium and 3 light, assignment help

Write conclusion, recommendations, future work. My project was about a PING PONG SORTER

I WILL ATTACH THE INTRO PROCEDURE AND OTHER STUFF SO THAT YOU CAN HAVE AN OVERVIEW OF WHAT TO WRITE ABOUT

PLEASE BID URGENT

Project Overview

As a team you need to work on the project below. You are not allowed to select your own projects. You need to develop the design, write a technical report, and present the findings. A prototype model should also be built and demonstrated.

Project Evaluation

The criteria for evaluating your project will be (1) application of teaming skills, (2) technical background, (3) level of analysis and details, (4) creativity and innovation, (5) final report, (6) oral presentation, (7) model and a demo.

Project Idea

Design a mechanical sorter system that will sort ping pong balls into three different classes based on their weight, i.e. heavy, medium and light.

Project Rules

Materials used: Cardboard, staples, glue, tape, syringe, ping pong balls and rubber bands.

  •  The sorter system should distinguish between eight ping pong balls: 3 heavy, 2 medium and 3 light
  •  A syringe can be used to fill the ping pong balls with water.
  •  The sorter system should have one input point to receive all eight balls and four outputs for each class of the ping pong balls.
  •  Each output should be marked clearly if it is for heavy, medium and light and place them in 3 separate trays.

 The heavy ping pong balls are made from normal ping pong balls fully filled with water.

 The medium ones are 1/2 filled with water.

 The light balls are not filled.

  •  The balls will be stored in a cylinder open from both sides and then will be released all together.
  •  The judges will use the “same” random order of the 8 balls among all groups when testing the designs during the competition. The random order will not be announced earlier.
  •  The Judges will user their own table tennis ball.
  •  Each group will have a second chance to sort the balls if the system could not properly sort all 8 balls in the first chance. The group can use another model or the same model for the second trial.
  •  The design system must sort all 8 balls.

Union Cycliste Suicide Rate Increasing in US Over Years Research Paper

In preparation for coming up with topics, I’d like us to do an exercise in expanding the field of people we care about/think about. In my experience with students, I often find that students focus on others who share particular attributes with themselves. In and of itself, that’s perfectly fine and even a good source for motivation: Asian students tend to focus on Asian student issues, LGBTQ+ students tend to focus on gender and LGBTQ+-oriented issues, richer students tend to focus on the plight of middle-to-upper-class students, etc. But part of advocacy (and politics in general) is taking into account people who aren’t like you, who you might not run into on a regular basis, and who might nonetheless be directly or indirectly affected by the policies and political issues you support.

As such, I want you all to cast a broader net. In groups (it’s possible this might be converted into an at-home assignment depending on time), I want you to look at trends in demographic issues related to education, especially as they relate to one another. Gender, college attendance and graduation, majors, ethnicity, sexual orientation, suicidal ideation or rate of depression diagnoses, number of and age of returning students, tuition costs, etc. Then, outline some of those statistical features and address what jumped out at you as important/surprising. This can be a full essay or some bullet pointed features with a conclusory paragraph, but there should be at least one full, well-thought out analysis here written in at least short essay format (let’s say at least 300 words in addition to whatever notes you jot down).

Two Gage’s Brain Revealed grammar Correction, writing homework help

Chapter Two Gage’s Brain Revealed talks about the problem that neurologists noticed with Gages’ accidence and investigate the solution by introducing the big picture of the brain. 

Professors Broca and Wernicke proposed that the lesions in the left frontal lobe could cause language impairment. However, the damage to Gage’s left frontal lobe did not had him to get any language impairment. Harlow, the person who was working on Gage, did not get the chance to study Gage in depth until several years after Gage’s death. He got Gage’s skull and found out the part of the brain that had been damaged by the iron, but the conjecture could be erroneous because of individual brain variation. 

After that Damasio introduces the anatomy both the human nervous system. He mentions the microscopic single neurons (nerve cells) and the macroscopic systems. He shows the main component of the central nervous system in three dimensions. Then he sections the central nervous system to present the difference between dark and pale sectors (gray matter and white matter). A map of the main brain areas identified by Brodmann depicts cerebral cortex, which is the the outer layer of the cerebrum. Damasio explains the main components of neurons including cell body, dendrites and portion of axon. Moreover, he talks brings out his disagreement about the probability of revealing the connectivity of neuroanatomy because “each neuron talks to a few others but never to most or all of the others”. 

Gage’s skull was later photographed for helping  narrow down the range of possible courses for the iron bar. Hanna Damasio and her colleagues concluded the functions of prefrontal cortices including planning for the future, controlling attention, deciding action and so on. 

I think Gage’ case is a good support for the identity theory, which claims that mind and  body are one thing because changes in Gage’s brain structure obviously changes Gage’s characters.

Three areas of law enforcement training unique to the profession

There are different trainings that police officers are subjected to in an effort to ensure that they are qualified to carry out various duties. The first one is training in regards to the use of firearms. This form of training demands more than the officers mastering the fundamental aspects of marksmanship; it also involves the safe use of the firearm, accuracy, as well as usage at the right speed (O’Keefe, 2004). The instructors seek to ensure that the officers using firearms have the correct combat accuracy under the realistic conditions that are commensurate with what they face in the field without sacrificing their safety as well as that of the members of the public. 

Arrest and control is another training that police officers ought to be subjected to facilitate in the effective conduction of their duties. This form of training teaches officers on how to apprehend a suspect and the level of force that ought to be used in different circumstances. In addition, the control aspect of the training ensures that the officers undertaking an arrest know how to engage the arrested persons in a way that they do not harm themselves, the officers or the members of the public who are near the scene where the persons are being apprehended. The information that should be relayed to the persons being arrested forms part of this particular training.

The final type of training that must be availed to police officers is Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), which is a technique used in lifesaving during emergencies. First aid training is also included in this form of training. The rationale of this training is that police officers are ordinarily one of the first responders to a scene of an accident. Their knowledge of first aid could go a long way to ensuring that they save a life before the emergency medical technicians arrive.

One of the training types and points of liability

  The training type that is focused on is the proper usage of the firearm that the officers are provided with. The focus of the training is the decision-making aspect of using a firearm, shooting a moving target, engaging multiple targets, as well as the general upkeep of the firearms (Glenn et al., 2003). The officers are also trained on what to do when they are faced with people who are returning fire. In regards to the points of liability in firearm training, there is liability for the use of the firearms during the training as well as the use of the gun once the officers are deemed qualified to operate them. Injury can be to the officer who was being trained to use the firearm or a victim from the actions of the said officer.

An assessment of whether the resulting liability after training centers on the organization, the individual officer or both

  After the training, liability is ordinarily on the individual officer. The premise of this assertion is from the fact that the officers are immediately suspended from duty to pave way for further investigations. Additionally, their firearms are taken away at the time they are being investigated. There is some liability placed on the organization, especially by the members of the public who do so to seek change in the use of firearms by police officers. It ought to be noted that there is never any liability on the institutions that undertake the training on the police officers. Only the procedures that the officers are subjected to are questioned.

Circumstances under which changes in liability occur

  There are times when the liability imposed on the officers changes to the organization. One of those times is when the investigation undertaken reveals that the firearm under contention was faulty. Liability in such an instance shifts to the issuing body, which is the law enforcement agency. Another circumstance that leads to the change of liability is where the individual police officer were not availed sufficient training commensurate with the duties assigned to them or for the use of firearms. In such a scenario, the organization is liable for the sub-standard qualifications of its officers.

How the training minimizes liability as well as addresses public opinion

  Training in the use of firearms minimizes liability in different ways. The first way is in the qualification it avails the officers being trained. They can be able to professionally handle a firearm and avoid instances in which the use of the same gives rise to liability. In addition, they will create a good track record with the members of the public because there will be less incidents of accidents from firearm usage (Wyatt-Nichol & Franks, 2009). Liability is minimized because the members of public will understand that police officers are sufficiently qualified to handle scenes, which necessitate firearms use. As such, they will be less likely to hinder the officers’ activities by staying out of their way, which will reduce likelihoods of accidents.

    Your research will require you to investigate the official websites for all state court systems. Most states also have a state law library website, with librarian help. Most are linked in the court system or bar association site. Find the trial courts of your state. Keep track of your research efforts for question 4 below. The LexisNexis site in the online library does not have a compiled list of the levels of court for each state. Our Rasmussen librarians can help you by recommending ways to navigate state court websites.

    1. Identify the correct court where the criminal case will be held. Assume that the criminal case will be in a court that handles felonies. If no court is specified for criminal cases, use the court of general jurisdiction. It should be the state court in your state.
    2. Identify the correct court for the civil lawsuit. Again, use the state court in your state. Assume the lawsuit will be for $25,000 or more. As for criminal, if no court is specified for civil lawsuits, use the court of general jurisdiction.
    3. Does your state have one or two levels of appeal? What is the name of each court? Which court is the top one? Hints: Possible examples are Court of Appeals or Supreme Court. Unlike the U.S. federal courts, your state may not label the top court as Supreme, so be careful.
    4. What efforts did you make in your research? State which websites you used and whether it took a number of repeated attempts to find what you were looking for. Did you use phone calls or emails to the state court system, or a librarian, before you were sure you understood the structure of your state’s courts? What road blocks and successes did you meet? Using help and learning how to report which methods worked and failed are paralegal skills and add to your score.

    Disarming the Political Grenade week 4 discussion 2

    Analyze the political and social effects of racial profiling within law enforcement. Conduct research and find at least two scholarly resources on this topic. Then, conduct a brief comparative analysis between criminal profiling and racial profiling. Identify the concerns brought forward by the community and the American Civil Liberties Union (A.C.L.U.) regarding racial profiling. Provide your opinion on how law enforcement should allay these concerns.  

    He wrote (J) When it comes to racial profiling this is a practice that is not taken lightly in any law enforcement career. If anyone is found to be racial profiling they will get in to a lot of trouble or even fired. There is definitely a big difference in racial profiling and criminal profiling. When it comes to racial profiling you are doing things because of the color of someone’s skin. Criminal profiling is where an officer pulls someone over due to them fitting the profile of what a normal criminal looks like. This could be someone riding in a drug area at 3 a.m. or even a car that looks like the way cars will look when involved in criminal activity. This could include having multiple subjects in it, having tons of clothes in the car, or even the car having multiple defects on it. This could also include someone that is riding around without tags on the car. Officers should definitely stay away from racial profiling because this will end up causing more trouble than that officer will ever believe. Racial profiling and criminal profiling can walk a fine line at times. At times they are almost identical, but when criminal profiling you will stay out of trouble.

    Revise Paper manifesto on what it means to be fully human in the modern world, writing homework help

    During this quarter you will write an original 8-10 page manifesto on what it means to be fully human in the modern world, drawing from global, historical traditions of the pre-modern world and making a case for their significance in your (or your fellow humans’) growth and development in the modern world.

    A manifesto is a public declaration of the purpose, principles or plan of action of a group or individual. It declares one’s intentions, goals, ideals, and motives, and it is a call to action; it can challenge assumptions, foster commitment, and provoke change. In other words, it identifies a problem, offers a solution, declares an intention, goal, or ideal and gives explicit directions for carrying out an action plan to solve the problem. Your academic manifesto will be structured as an analytical essay that will include the required components of argumentation. In your manifesto you will:

     identify a personal/ interpersonal problem/issue that keeps you or others from living more fully human

     advance a thesis (declare an intention) and action

    plan
    to solve that problem

     support your declaration and action plan with evidence (from in-class and outside scholarly sources)

     address alternative approaches to the problem (or

    counter-arguments
    )

     discuss

    significance
    /implications of your declaration
