Assignment #2
Creative writing in response to literature is a way for students to respond to literature in a personal way. Creative writing provides a way for students to practice critical thinking and develop a stronger understanding of literary criticism while showing creativity and a bit of their own personalities. For this creative writing assignment, you will do a character analysis to allow you to get inside the mind of one of the characters. “Rip Van Winkle” and “Young Goodman Brown” are told as third-person narratives, not as first-person narratives. The difference is that a third-person narrative presents the characters to us in the words of a narrator rather than from the words of the characters themselves. The story contains descriptions such as Rip Van Winkle did this or Young Goodman Brown said that, but its not as if the characters themselves are telling everything from their perspective. Of course, sometimes they speak in the story, but they do not get to tell the story or what they thinking or feeling. It is up to the reader to determine what the characters might be thinking or feeling. For this assignment, choose one of the following options: (A) Imagine you are Rip Van Winkle’s daughter, Judith, writing a journal entry after her father reappears after 20 years. Try to get into the mind of Judith. Be imaginative and creative. Pretend you are Judith and have just seen your father after he has been missing for 20 years. You will not be retelling the plot of the story; you will be Judith reflecting on the events of the day. In this journal entry you can put down whatever thoughts she might have using absolute frankness and honesty.? OR(B) Imagine you are Young Goodman Brown writing a journal entry the day after the events described in the story. Try to get into the mind of Goodman Brown. Be imaginative and creative. Pretend you are Goodman Brown and have just experienced the events described in the story. You will not be retelling the plot of the story; you will be Goodman Brown interpreting and reflecting on the events of the day. In this journal entry you can put down whatever thoughts Goodman Brown might have using absolute frankness and honesty.? Criteria:
Write a minimum 400 words in paragraph form, using Times New Roman 12-point font (or similar) with double spacing. A title page is not required.

Discussion board replies | CJUS 410 – Constitutional Criminal Procedure
I need two replies to this discussion board on either agreeing or disagreeing. 150 words for each reply, the original discussion is attached.
Hello class,
To outline my position on if the Dripps’ model would work in the real world, I must first outline my positions on the exclusionary rule and restorative justice. The Exclusionary Rule was enacted by the United States Supreme Court to not allow any evidence into criminal proceedings that was obtained while in violation of a defendant’s rights. Most often, this suppression of evidence was in part to an officer’s lack of experience when conducting constitutional searches and seizures, or done knowingly by the officer. In a scholarly article published by Sage Journals, “…suppression hearings enforce Fourth Amendment protections not only by barring illegally seized evidence from being used at trial, but, also, by using the data they generate to educate and monitor police officers” (Nir, 2020, p. 105). With these protections in place, thought processes have also shifted to developing a more well rounded resolution to an outcome by implementing restorative justice.
So what is restorative justice? In The Little Book of Restorative Justice, the author states there are, “Three central concepts or pillars deserve a closer look: harms and needs, obligations, and engagement” (Zehr, 2002, p. 22). Zehr goes on to explain that restorative justice is a concept that focus on how the victim was harmed and what they are needing from the outcome. Additionally, he explains what obligations do the courts have to the victim and how will they hold the offender accountable? Finally, Zehr addresses how the community, offender, and victim should be engaged with the process to make restorative justice successful. These three pillars, or concepts, form the baseline for what restorative justice is and why it should be implemented. Donald Dripps attempts to take a more “hybridized” approach to both concepts when he developed his model of contingent suppression.
Dripps proposed that if evidence was seized in the violation of a defendant’s rights, then why not allow the evidence if the courts found sufficient remedial action in its place. An example of this, as Dripps states is, “…suppress tainted evidence, then give the prosecution the opportunity to prove the precise, concrete steps the department has taken to prevent recurrence? If the court finds the corrective action adequate, the evidence can be received; if not it would be suppressed” (Dripps, 2009, p. 2). This way of thinking proposes that if the police were to obtain evidence illegally by violating the defendant’s rights, the courts could still allow the evidence should the department provide a better means of compensation for the infraction.
I do not believe this model would work in the real world for a number of reasons. First, the Fourth Amendment was established to protect the people from unreasonable searches and seizures. who is to say that if Dripps’ methodology enables law enforcement to conduct more violations for the sake of replacing one wrong with a corrective action in the hopes to permit evidence? Additionally, while Dripps argues that this would hold police accountable for their actions and potentially deter future violations, the fact remains that people’s Fourth Amendment rights are still being violated by not only the illegal search, but its admissibility as evidence should the courts deem the corrective action in its place appropriate. Second, it is proposed that departments could have to pay fines associated with the violation that are of equal or more substantial worth than the infraction. There is no basis, nor way of knowing what violation would occur what penalty as each violation is different and this model is not a program adopted by any state or federal agency. Finally, officers would be less inclined to perform their duties in making reasonable arrests, due to the fear of being reprimanded and their department having to pay should they make an error in judgement. I believe that Dripps’ model is a slap to law enforcement officials and furthers the interests of the courts than it does to protect the people.
I do not believe that Dripps’ model is compatible with restorative justice, as it appears to only target the well being of the judicial system. Dripps’ model would be more compatible with restorative justice by addressing the needs of the victim through appropriate compensatory measures and holding the offender accountable for their actions. In the Book of Zechariah 7, verse 9 the Bible states, “This is what the LORD Almighty said, “”Administer true justice; show mercy and compassion to one another” (New International Version, 2011). This scripture personifies restorative justice by showing that not only should we address the needs of the victim and be compassionate towards their cause, but we must show mercy to the offender as well. The offender should be afforded the protections of their rights, and should evidence be obtained that is in violation of their Fourth Amendment rights, then that evidence should not be permitted during the criminal proceedings. By addressing the needs of the victim, holding the offender accountable, and protecting the rights of all parties involved, it is only then that the community can engage in bringing about resolution to the conflict and restoring justice.

Option pricing p | Management homework help
Prepare a report (2-3 pages) that discusses derivative financial instruments and evaluates the purchase of a hypothetical currency option.
Introduction
This assessment will allow you to practice two approaches for hedging an exposure to the change in a foreign currency.
Demonstration of Proficiency
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies through corresponding scoring guide criteria:
Competency 1: Apply advanced accounting techniques to organizational situations.
Discuss the nature of derivative financial instruments.
Indicate the factors that might influence the value of the USD against the Ghanaian Cedi.
Explain how much was won or lost by purchasing a 90-day option.
Discuss how a defined purchase contract could hedge against a change in exchange rate between the USD and the Ghanaian Cedi.
Competency 5: Communicate in a manner that is professional and consistent with expectations for members of the business professions.
Communicate in a manner that is professional and consistent with expectations for members of the business professions.
Scenario
Hopkins Chocolate Company buys green cocoa beans that are processed into consumer products. Cocoa beans are currently selling for $2,000 United States Dollars (USD) per metric ton. Hopkins buys 100 tons at a time from Abamo Chocolate in Ghana, Africa. Normal purchase procedures stipulate that the purchase contract is denominated in Ghanaian Cedi and payment in Cedi is due 90 days after purchase.
Recently, the treasurer of Hopkins became concerned that the U.S. Dollar would change in value against the Ghanaian Cedi. Consequently, Hopkins bought a 90-day option.
Your Role
You are the controller for Hopkins Chocolate Company.
Requirements
As the controller of Hopkins Chocolate Company, you work closely with the treasurer. She has requested that you prepare a report to help explain the recent purchase of the 90-day option to members of the board of directors. Address the following in your report (35 pages):
Discuss the nature of derivative financial instruments.
Explain the factors that might influence the value of the USD against the Ghanaian Cedi. Discuss at least three factors.
Hopkins bought a 90-day option to exchange $200,000 USD for 900,000 Cedi. They paid $8,000 USD for the option and today it has been 90 days. Locate today’s value of the Cedi at XE.com’s Live Exchange Rates and calculate how much Hopkins won or lost by purchasing the 90-day option. Explain your calculations in detail.
Discuss how Hopkins could use a defined purchase contract to hedge against a change in exchange rate between the USD and the Cedi.
Deliverable Format
Since you plan to share your report with the treasurer and the board of directors, you want this report to be clear, well-organized, and readable. Your supervisor has requested that your report be 2-3 pages so that you have enough space to develop your ideas and provide some scholarly and/or professional context.
Communication: Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and consistent with the needs and expectations of senior corporate leadership and other stakeholders. For this scenario, assume the treasurer and the board of directors expect original work, critical thinking, and scholarly sources. Your writing must be free of errors that detract from the overall message.
Your report is a professional document and should therefore follow the corresponding MBA Academic and Professional Document Guidelines, including single-spaced paragraphs.
Resources: At least three resources that are scholarly and/or professional. So that your imaginary board of directors can locate more information about derivative instruments and currency options, include a reference page at the end of your report.
Report length: Minimum of 2-3 pages, not including reference pages.
Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12 pt.
Faculty will use the scoring guide to review your deliverable as if s/he were a director on the board. Review the scoring guide prior to developing and submitting your assessment.

Part 1
The elements of 21st Century Career and Life Skills include flexibility and adaptability, initiative and self-direction, social and cross-cultural skills, productivity and accountability skills, and leadership and responsibility skills. Think back on projects you have participated in, products you have created, and processes you have developed or applied in a school or workplace setting that demonstrate application of 21st century digital literacy skills. Drawing from these experiences, create or describe an “artifact” for inclusion in your 21st Century Resume and Portfolio project. If you have not had experiences in which you applied these skills, imagine a situation in which these skills would be put to use and describe the project, product, or process in detail. Reflect on this year’s Horizon Report for inspiration and ideas.
Assignment length: written 2- to 3- pages.
Note: Instead of submitting a written paper, you may choose to provide your response using a graphic representation, PPT presentation, concept map, audio podcast, video, or other form of media or multimedia.

I need assignment by 12/8/12
The Discussion Board (DB) is part of the core of online learning. Classroom discussion in an online environment requires the active participation of students and the instructor to create robust interaction and dialogue. Every student is expected to create an original response to the open-ended DB question as well as engage in dialogue by responding to posts created by others throughout the week. At the end of each unit, DB participation will be assessed based on both level of engagement and the quality of the contribution to the discussion.
At a minimum, each student will be expected to post an original and thoughtful response to the DB question and contribute to the weekly dialogue by responding to at least two other posts from students. The first contribution must be posted before midnight (Central Time) on Wednesday of each week. Two additional responses are required after Wednesday of each week. Students are highly encouraged to engage on the Discussion Board early and often, as that is the primary way the university tracks class attendance and participation.
The purpose of the Discussion Board is to allow students to learn through sharing ideas and experiences as they relate to course content and the DB question. Because it is not possible to engage in two-way dialogue after a conversation has ended, no posts to the DB will be accepted after the end of each week.
A. Questions for weekly discussions and conversations (not part of the required Discussion Board assignment)
These questions can serve as the starting point for your discussions during the week. They are thought starters, so that you can explore some ideas associated with the discussion board and unit topics. Answers are not required, and should not be submitted with your required assignment. Answers are not graded.

Psychology – i need an expert in psychology or paper summary
Your introduction should be roughly one page and will introduce your reader to your topic. Discuss a current event or a real-world problem that you think needs to be addressed. Be sure to identify which specific area of psychology the issue is related to, using key terms and theories learned in the PSY 101 course. Also, at the end of this section, inform your reader that in this paper, you will review three articles that are related to your topic, and then you will make recommendations for how to apply research findings to solve the issue.
Your articles must be from the PSYC Info or PSYCH Articles database that you can access from the BCCC library website. These articles must be peer reviewed and related to psychology (not some other discipline like political science). For each article, you should type a literature review that is approximately one page in length. Your article review/summary should be written in well-developed paragraphs (do NOT include bullets as I have done here) that include the following information:
· What was the article about? Briefly state the topic of the article.
· Summarize some of the key points from the introduction section of the article.
· What variables did they study?
· What research method did they use?
· Describe the results of the study.
· How can the results be applied to the issue presented in your research report?
Type a brief header for article 2 here
· Type your review of article 2 here. Follow the instructions above regarding how to review the article. This section does not need to start on a new page. It should begin immediately following the review for article 1. Make sure that for each article review, you do not include direct quotes. Instead, you should paraphrase and include citations in the body of your paper. Each source cited in the body of your paper must appear in the reference list at the end.
Type a brief header for article 3 here
· Right below your review for article 2, begin your review of article 3 here. Follow the instructions above regarding how to review the article.
Application
In this section, you will explain how the research you reviewed can be applied to solving your real-world issue. You should have an idea of how to apply the research simply from reading the discussion section of each article. The authors typically indicate how their findings might be used in a practical way. When referencing the authors recommendations, be sure to use in-text citations. In addition, you are encouraged to be creative and think of new/additional ways to apply what you have learned. This section should end with a conclusion that summarizes the entire paper.
Reference
The References page is the last page on your paper. This should be a new page and the word References should appear at the top of the page. The title should also be centered.
Only include works used in paper on your works cited page and each work should be listed alphabetically by last name.
Delete the text below the word References and start typing in your citations here using the APA style. Notice that if the citation takes up more than one line, the remaining lines in the citation are indented by ½ an inch. This is called a hanging indent. Please consult the BCCC Librarys handout on creating your references.

ORIGINAL WORK, APA 6th EDITION FORMATTING PLEASE.
People that abuse substances have individual reasons for what first drove them to begin using these substances in the first place. Some clients started using them through experimentation, peer pressure, or curiosity. However, many users began using substances as a way of dealing with other issues in their lives, such as depression, anxiety, weight loss, or other physical or mental disorders. In still other cases, mental and physical disorders may result in response to chronic substance abuse. In these cases, it is important to determine what the co-occurring disorder is, as well as the substance abuse problem, in order to determine the best course of treatment.
Read the following scenario and then respond to the questions that follow:
You are a substance abuse counselor. Gregory, your new client, has come to you for help with his alcohol use problem. Gregory is married with three children and works as a sales representative for a large corporation in the city. In your first meeting with Gregory, you discover that his drinking began as a way to alleviate the anxiety he felt in social situations. Over time, Gregory began using alcohol more often. He found that every time he used alcohol, his anxiety lifted and he was able to be more at ease during work, out with colleagues, and at other such public events. Over time, Gregory realized he needed more alcohol than before to get the same anxiety relieving effects.
Two weeks ago, one of Gregorys coworkers became suspicious that Gregory was drinking at work. That same day, while Gregory was driving home from work, he was pulled over by the police. He passed the field sobriety test and the officer let him off with a warning. These two events served as a wake-up call for Gregory as he realized his alcohol use may be beyond his control.
Gregory has made an appointment with you because he sincerely wants to curtail his alcohol use.
To help Gregory achieve his goals, write a paper that analyzes the components of his scenario. In your paper, ensure that you include the following information:
Summarize the history and usefulness of the four major contemporary treatment modalities (crisis intervention, individual counseling, group counseling, and family counseling).
Evaluate Gregorys dual diagnosis (also referred to as co-occurring disorders) and the implications for counseling. Keep the following questions in mind:
Describe the meaning of dual diagnosis and how it impacts counseling.
Classify Gregorys primary and secondary diagnoses.
Analyze the implications in treating a secondary diagnosis.
Evaluate the limitations for an alcohol and drug counselor when treating diagnoses other than those related to substance abuse. Describe the circumstances where the four treatment modalities might be useful in a dual diagnosis.
Recommend at least one treatment modality for Gregory and explain your recommendation using at least two scholarly references.
Write a 45-page paper in Word format. Use scholarly resources, including your textbook, to support your ideas. Your paper must be in Word format and include a title page and reference page in addition to the 4-5-pages of content. Apply APA 6th edition standards to the format of the paper, and the citation of sources.
