How do you think one becomes competent? 2PARAGRAPH APA FORMAT Read the following article on ethical issues in forensic evaluations http://dev.cjcenter.org/_files/apcj/2_3_Ethics_foren.pdf

Identify and analyze an historical event comparable to your article’s economic issue and how that incident impacted the daily life (work, home, and recreation) of the time.

DO NOT BID IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THE PRICEUnit VIII Final ProjectLocate and evaluate a periodical or newspaper article in print or online (e.g,, Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Time magazine, The Economist, Forbes) that details an economic issue on the local, state, or federal level. Make sure that the article is dated no longer than six months ago and the article is relevant to a topic covered in the course.Upon reading the appropriate article, write a 1000-1100 word analysis, making sure to clearly answer and include the following:? Write a summary of the article in your own words with limited quotes or paraphrasing. All quotes and paraphrasing must have proper APA citations.? Discuss changes that you would make to your local, state, or national budget based on the economic issue addressed in this article.? If you feel no changes are necessary, explain how the current budget influences the circumstances in the article.? Include your views (pro/con) on a possible amendment to the Constitution requiring a balanced federal budget.? Identify and analyze an historical event comparable to your article’s economic issue and how that incident impacted the daily life (work, home, and recreation) of the time.? Once you have evaluated the impact of this issue, discuss how the economic issue in your chosen article applies to your own daily life (work, home and recreation).Your paper should be written using proper APA format. You should also have proper APA formatted in-text citations and ending references.APA GuidelinesThe application of the APA writing style shall be practical, functional, and appropriate to each academic level, with the primary purpose being the documentation (citation) of sources. CSU requires that students use APA style for certain papers and projects. Students should always carefully read and follow assignment directions and review the associated grading rubric when available. Students can find CSU’s Citation Guide by clicking here. This document includes examples and sample papers and provides information on how to contact the CSU Success Center.Grading RubricsThis course utilizes analytic grading rubrics as tools for your professor in assigning grades for all learning activities. Each rubric serves as a guide that communicates the expectations of the learning activity and describes the criteria for each level of achievement. In addition, a rubric is a reference tool that lists evaluation criteria and can help you organize your efforts to meet the requirements of that learning activity. It is imperative for you to familiarize yourself with these rubrics because these are the primary tools your professor uses for assessing learning activities.Rubric categories include: (1) Assessment (Written Response) and (2) Assignment. However, it is possible that not all of the listed rubric types will be used in a single course (e.g., some courses may not have Assessments).The Assessment (Written Response) rubric can be found embedded in a link within the directions for each Unit Assessment. However, these rubrics will only be used when written-response questions appear within the Assessment.Each Assignment type (e.g., article critique, case study, research paper) will have its own rubric. The Assignment rubrics are built into Blackboard, allowing students to review them prior to beginning the Assignment and again once the Assignment has been scored. This rubric can be accessed via the Assignment link located within the unit where it is to be submitted. Students may also access the rubric through the course menu by selecting “Tools” and then “My Grades.”PS 1010, American Government 4Again, it is vitally important for you to become familiar with these rubrics because their application to your Assessments and Assignments is the method by which your instructor assigns all grades.

How would the transfer from the permanent fund to the special revenue fund be reported in the government-wide statements?

Your portfolio project will provide specific answers to questions that follow. Apply what you have learned in this course to your answers to these questions.P. 2-6: The nature of a transaction gives a clue as to the type of fund in which it should be recorded. (80 points)Scenario 1:Kendal County engaged in the following transactions:It levied and collected $1million in taxes dedicated to the repayment of outstanding general obligation bonds.It billed sponsors of a charity bicycle ride $5,000 for providing police patrols during the ride.It recognized $60,000 of cash dividends on investments dedicated to the support of a county arts center.It recognized $70,000 of cash dividends on investments dedicated to scholarships for needy county residents.It incurred $6 million in construction costs to complete a new county jail. The new jail was funded entirely with the proceeds of long-term bonds.It transferred $400,000 of unrestricted funds to an appropriate fund to be invested and eventually used to repay the principal on the long-term jail bonds (entries in two funds required).It recognized depreciation of $100,000 on equipment in a vehicle repair center that services all county departments that have motor vehicles.It collected $30,000 in parking fees at the county-owned garage.It issued $8 million in bonds to improve the city-owned electric utility.It distributed $3 million in taxes collected on behalf of school districts located within the country.Instructions:Prepare appropriate journal entries.Indicate the type of funds in which these transactions would most likely be recorded.P. 5-4: Generally accepted modified accrual accounting practices pertaining to inventories may not fulfill the objectives of financial reporting. (80 points)Scenario 2:The following is an excerpt from a note to the financial statements of the city of Dallas (dates changed):The city prepares its annual appropriated general fund, debt service fund, and proprietary operating funds budgets on a basis (budget basis) which differs from generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP basis). The major differences between the budget and GAAP bases are that encumbrances are recorded as the equivalent of expenditures (budget) rather than a commitment of fund balance (GAAP) in the governmental funds.The city accounts for inventories on the purchases basis. One of the city’s departments, which is accounted for in the general fund, budgeted $195,000 in supplies expenditures for fiscal 2015. It began the 2015 fiscal year with $30,000 of supplies on hand. It also had $12,000 of supplies on order. During the year it ordered an additional $180,000 of supplies, received (and paid for in cash) $185,000 of supplies, and consumed $178,000 of supplies.Instructions:Prepare all journal entries, consistent with GAAP, including budgetary and encumbrance entries that the department should make in 2015.Indicate the accounts and amounts related to supplies that the city would report on its year-end statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balance and balance sheet.By how much did the department over- or under-spend its supplies budget (on a budget basis)?Comment on the extent to which the city’s statement provides a basis to:Assess the ‘‘true’’ economic costs associated with suppliesDetermine whether the city adhered to budgetary spending mandatesSuppose that in the last quarter of the year, department officials realized that the department was about to overspend its supplies budget. They therefore ceased placing new orders for supplies. However, they imposed no restrictions on the use of supplies and thereby allowed the supplies inventory to decline to near zero.What impact would these cost-cutting measures have on supplies expenditures as reported in an actual-to budget comparison (on a budget basis)?What impact would the year-end measures have on reported supplies expenditures (per GAAP)? Would your response be different if the city accounted for supplies on the consumption basis?EX. 10-4: Investment gains and losses may have to be accounted for differently in nonexpendable than in expendable funds. (70 points)Scenario 3:The McCracken County Humane Society (MCHS), which is part of a county’s reporting entity, established a permanent fund to provide support for its pet neutering program. As of the start of the year, the fund had a balance of $600,000, composed of both cash and marketable securities.The program itself, which is accounted for in a special revenue fund, is funded by both direct contributions and the income from the permanent fund. At the start of the year, the special revenue fund had assets (all investments) of $26,000.The following transactions and events occurred in a recent year.The MCHS conducted a Walk Your Pet Day fundraising drive. The event raised $120,000, of which $20,000 was in pledges expected to be collected shortly after year-end.The society acquired food and medicine at a cost of $60,000 (cash). During the year, it used $30,000 of these supplies. The society accounts for supplies on a consumption basis. It incurred other operating costs (all paid in cash) of $85,000.The society earned interest of $45,000 on investments accounted for in the permanent fund.During the year, the market value of the investments held by the permanent fund increased by $30,000. Per the terms of the agreement establishing the endowment, all capital gains, both realized and unrealized, must be added to principal. During the year, the value of investments held by the special revenue fund increased by $3,000.The society transferred cash to the special revenue fund in the amount of the earnings of the permanent fund.Instructions:Prepare journal entries to record the events and transactions. Be sure you indicate the fund in which they would be recorded.In your opinion, should the unrealized gains on the investments held in the special revenue fund be considered expendable or nonexpendable? Explain.How would the transfer from the permanent fund to the special revenue fund be reported in the government-wide statements?Requirements:Include a cover page denoting the paper title, your name, the course number and name, your instructor’s name, and the date you are making the submission.Format your paper according to CSU-Global APA and Writing Requirements.

Explore your reactions to the readings and to what you have learned about Motivational Interviewing (MI).  Explain how MI can be applied to clinical practice.

Motivational interviewing (MI) is a psychotherapeuticmethod that was developed by William Miller and StephenRollnick, originally described in 1983 (Miller, 1983). Millerand Rollnick (2002) define MI as “a client-centered, directivemethod for enhancing intrinsic motivation to change byexploring and resolving ambivalence.” Its original applicationwas in substance abuse treatment with adults, where it wasdeveloped in response to confrontational methods used inthis field during the 1970s and 1980s. Since then, it has beenused in many different areas, including “general medical care,health promotion, social work and corrections” (Miller &Rollnick, 2002, p. xiv) – Explore your reactions to the readings and to what you have learned about Motivational Interviewing (MI). Explain how MI can be applied to clinical practice.-Write one independent paragraph that includes a reference, explaining how Motivational Interviewing can be used by a psychiatric nurse practitioner to help a specific patient (for example, a drug addict or alcoholic patient that is non-complaining with his or her medications) and what considerations you need to be aware of to achieve success.Responses will be checked by Turnitin for originality. It should be a minimum of 350 words, scholarly written, APA formatted, and referenced.

Analyze the following statements and identify as many applicable components of statement analysis as you can attribute to the deception

prepare a 4- to 5-slide, APA-formatted Microsoft PowerPoint presentation that includes responses to Part 1 and Part 2.Part 1Use scholarly sources to compare any two of the following interviewing methodologies:Structural interviewsInferential interviewsBehavioral interviewsCognitive interviewsClearly define each methodology chosen and examine in what situations it may be appropriate.Part 2Explore the components of statement analysis—a complex skill that can help you determine the level of deception in a witness’s or a suspect’s statement. Identifying deception leads one to dig deeper, investigate further, and ask more, often difficult, direct questions.InstructionsConsider the following example of a statement and its component:StatementStatement Component“Decided to go for a walk. Got out there. Umm . . . stood for a few moments and received a page from home. Something was going on at home. Let’s go back and make a phone call and see what’s going on.Parts of speech, specifically missing pronounsAnalyze the following statements and identify as many applicable components of statement analysis as you can attribute to the deception:“Got approached by a gentleman asking for money. When I addressed him, I was struck in the rear and knocked to the ground. Struggled with him. There was a shot that went off. Struggled with him, and there was another shot that went off. That was the shot that hit me.”“On July 4, 2011, at about 4:00 p.m., came home from work and took a shower. Was getting ready to head out to some friends’ barbeque and party. My friends Jerry and Paul were having some people over for the Fourth of July. Sat down for a few minutes to watch television and relax. Had two beers until about 5:30 p.m.“Put my feet up on the table when the doorbell rang. It was an ex-girlfriend, Sally. She sat down with me for a few minutes. They wanted to tell me about their new boyfriend. I wasn’t so happy about it; I didn’t really want to break up with her. I watched the race and argued some, and she left, at six or so.“At about 7:00 p.m. drove to my friends’ place. They live in the country and it took me an hour to get there, arrived at eight or so. When we got to the party, there were about ten or twelve people there; they were pretty wasted already, and they were drinking most of the day. Sat down outside and had a few shots and several beers. It was hot, so I went inside, and I watched television to cool off. Drank about two more beers and talked with two girls that were friends of Jerry; they were friends of my ex-girlfriend as well. They stated that my ex had found another boyfriend and they were already talking marriage and children. I watched the car race for a while, by myself, and then went back outside to play horseshoes. I played a few games and had an argument with one of the other guys, and they wanted to fight, so went inside to cool down again.“At about ten or eleven, one of the people at the party came to me to tell me that my ex, Sally, had been found outside her house, hurt and barely alive. She was taken to the hospital.“I watched the end of the race, close to midnight, had a few more beers and left. Went directly home.”
