The emphasis of the project portfolio and project management in general is not on the technology or actual application

Order Description
The actual nature or application field of the project is up to you. The "project” can be real, from work, from home, from the literature or history, fictitious but realistic, etc. The emphasis of the project portfolio and project management in general is not on the technology or actual application. That said, whatever you feel comfortable with and you feel will meet all the aspects you'll have to document. A simple or small project could be tougher to document in the end vs. a large scale project and of course vice-versa. As an aside it can be a finished project, in-progress project or yet to start project. Finished projects have the advantage that you know the history already.

Kerzner’s (2013) Project Management Case Studies book discusses many actual completed projects. But you should be able to find many project’s discussed on the web. You could go to the Project Management Institute’s (PMI) website and look for various project examples and projects of the year examples. Also, somewhere in your state probably several, there are PMI local chapters. You could check them out too for info; they should have their own websites. You could also see what projects are or have been completed by your local or state government. The information should be available to you as a resident.

A completed or existing project, independent of whether you were or were not involved may be better if you have access to the necessary information and documentation (you can within reason guesstimate some things as necessary if not available).

The important thing is to select a project for which you will be able to document the nine required areas:
•Project charter (optional, but highly recommended)
•Project scope
•Project schedule
•Project budget
•Project milestones & deliverables
•Quality management plan
•Staffing management plan
•Communication management plan
•Change management plan
•Risk management plan & accompanying risk register
•Other items of value

War on Drugs

War on Drugs

Order Description
The War on Drugs is extraordinarily expensive and has little effect on the inflow of illicit drugs. Drug-related corruption is rampant, simply because the huge sums of tainted money are too enticing. The consuming public seems determined to have their drugs, whether or not the government thinks they should. All of these factors seem to be a replication of the social conditions that existed at the height of the temperance movement of the 1800's and early 1900's. That failure of social policy let to Prohibition, against which those who wanted their liquor simply rebelled until the government finally capitulated and repealed Prohibition.

Discuss whether or not the same social conditions exist today regarding the use of drugs. Do you believe that the futility of trying to stop a determined consuming public and the diversion of monumental amounts of public funds from other essential programs (education and health care) mandate governmental capitulation yet again, this time in the form of the legalization of drug use. Please use research to support your opinion and remember to cite your research.

the effect of stereotype boost on E.Q tests

the effect of stereotype boost on E.Q tests
Since it is commonly believe that women are more emotionally intelligent than men , we created a fake stereotype boost that " favors males' emotional intelligence(E.Q) over females' " to see if this fake stereotype boost would change participants' performance (scores) when taking an E.Q test.

We used a valid E.Q test from the scientific literature but on top of the test we used two different headings:
1) with the fake stereotype boost that favors males' E.Q and
2) without the stereotype boost (neutral heading)

we gave the E.Q tests to women and men.
half of women received the E.Q tests with the stereotype boost,
and the other half without it.
the same was done with males participants
their scores were compered. we did not find any significant difference.
we run a 2 x 2 factorial design
IV level 1 = male
IV level 1 = female
IV level 2 = stereotype boost
IV level 2 = non-stereotype boost

class hypothesis = it would be a significant interaction between gender and stereotype boost

I need three things done:
1. Introduction Breakdown
2. Outline
3. Whole Essay/Speech

This is a Persuasive Speech:

1. First is the Introduction Breakdown. This is the example of how it has to be done:
Attention Getter: As of August 16th 2012, according to the Gallup research organization, America's rating of the job being done by Congress has tied the all-time low of only 10%. It has never in the history of Gallup been lower than what it is right now.
Statement of Central Idea: Today, I will persuade the audience that politicians would be better policy-makers if Congress imposed term limits on them.
Preview of Main Points: I will explain to the audience how, for many politicians, Congress is a lifelong career. Therefore, they must focus on how to stay in office rather than focus on what is best for the people and our country. I will also show that, since Congress is based on a seniority system, the politicians with enough influence to make significant changes have become disconnected from the very people they are supposed to be representing. And finally, I will explain how we as a country can fix this problem.

2. I need an outline. I will upload the example.

3. I need it all put together. It is a persuasive speech and has to be 3:00 min long +/- :30.

A minimum of three current, authored/titled sources are required for all speeches and should be cited in APA citation format on the last page of your outline (*see text for bibliographic form). All speech topics require research from formal sources. Your presentation must reflect this research through citations (oral footnotes) of your supporting material(s).

All sources must be cited in 3 different places:
1. Verbally in oral footnotes as you actually deliver your speech.
2. Written in in-text citations in the text of your outline. In-text citations should follow the guidelines found in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th Edition).
3. Written in a references list immediately following your outline. The citations in your references list should follow the guidelines found in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th Edition).

Research methodology can help to define the activities of research, how to proceed with the research, how to measure progress and how to determine success. In this paper you will evaluate existing methodologies and explore the methodology that you will use for your dissertation.
Your dissertation topic is:

“Maximizing local procurement to promote peace with communities in a remote area and create a new economic zone in a third world country”

Thus, identify two or three journal articles that address research problems similar to the problem you have chosen, and evaluate the methodology used to conduct the research. With these thoughts in mind:
• How has your problem or question been studied in the past?
• What methodology would be most useful in addressing your research problem or question?
• Defend your choice of methodology. Discuss whether you would use a research design and approach similar to those you reviewed, or approach your problem differently and why.

Text Book: THINK MARRIAGES & FAMILIES Kunz 2013, ISBN 978-0-205-18261-9

Directions for the book club paper: After reading the assigned romance novel, students will need to choose 5 concepts (bolded terms or theories) from their textbooks and relate those concepts to what they've read in the romance novel. For example, a student could relate traditional masculinity, gender norms, Sternberg's theory of love, gender differences in love, and the eros style of love to the romance novel.

In order to earn top points, students must first clearly identify the concept they will be discussing, then define it (this should be cited), and then finally apply how that concept is present in the romance novel. For example, if you chose traditional masculinity, you would list and define how your textbook defines traditional masculinity (and cite the textbook!). Then, you would describe how the character in the book displays the characteristics of masculinity in his actions, behaviors, and/or looks. You may also include ways the character does not display traditional masculinity. Be sure to provide clear and specific examples to strengthen your paper.

4th amendment-Criminal Investigation

4th amendment-Criminal Investigation

Order Description
Project 1

For the purposes of this project, imagine you are an Information Security (InfoSec) Specialist, an employee of the Makestuff Company, assigned to the company’s Incident Response Team.

In this case, you have been notified by Mr. Hirum Andfirum, Human Resources Director for the Makestuff Company, that the company has just terminated Mr. Got Yourprop, a former engineer in the company’s New Products Division, for cause.

Mr. Andfirum tells you that at Mr. Yourprop’s exit interview earlier that day, the terminated employee made several statements to the effect of “it is okay because I have a new job already and they were VERY happy to have me come from Makestuff, with ALL I have to offer.”

Mr. Yourprop’s statements made Mr. Andfirum fear he might be taking Makestuff’s intellectual property with him to his new employer (undoubtedly a Makestuff competitor). In particular, Mr. Andfirum is worried about the loss of the source code for “Product X,” which the company is counting on to earn millions in revenue over the next three years.

Mr. Andfirum provides you a copy of the source code to use in your investigation. Lastly, Mr. Andfirum tells you to remember that the Company wants to retain the option to refer the investigation to law enforcement in the future, so anything you do should be with thought about later potential admissibility in court.

The 4th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution reads, “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.” While the 4th Amendment is most commonly interpreted to only affect/restrict governmental power (e.g., law enforcement), the fact that a formal criminal investigation is a possibility (and the Company has no desire to be named in a civil lawsuit) means you must consider its effect your actions.

With the above scenario in mind, thoroughly answer the following questions (in paragraph format, properly citing outside research, where appropriate).
1. Can you (or Mr. Yourprop’s supervisor) search Yourprop’s personal vehicle currently parked in the Company parking lot for digital evidence? Support your answer.
2. If evidence of this theft of intellectual property can be found, Makestuff Company may seek to pursue criminal prosecution. Can Mr. Yourprop’s supervisor direct local police investigators to search his personal vehicle which is parked on the Company parking lot? Support your answer.
3. Can (or Mr. Yourprop’s supervisor) search Yourprop’s assigned locker in the Company’s on-site gym for digital evidence? Support your answer.
4. Can (or Mr. Yourprop’s supervisor) use a master key to search Yourprop’s locked desk after he has left the premises for digital evidence? Support your answer.
5. There is a page in the Company’s “Employee Handbook” that states that anything brought onto the Company’s property, including the employees themselves, is subject to random search for items belonging to the Company. There is a space for the employee to acknowledge receipt of this notice. Mr. Yourprop has a copy of the handbook but never signed the page. Does that matter? Explain.
6. Makestuff Company uses a security checkpoint at the entrance to the building. A sign adjacent to the checkpoint states that the purpose of the checkpoint is for security staff to check for weapons or other materials that may be detrimental to the working environment or employee safety. Screening is casual and usually consists of verification of an employee’s Company ID card. Can security staff at this checkpoint be directed to open Mr. Yourprop’s briefcase and seize any potential digital evidence? Support your answer.
Project Requirements:
• Each questions should be answered with a minimum of 1-2 paragraphs, so do your research, be specific, be detailed, and demonstrate your knowledge;
• Answers to the above questions should be submitted in a single document (.DOC/.DOCX, .RTF, or .PDF), with answers separated so as to make it clear which question is being answered;
• The submission should have a cover page, including course number, course title, title of paper, student’s name, date of submission, and submit to the assignments folder;
• Format: 12-point font, double-space, one-inch margins;
• It is mandatory that you do some research, and utilize outside resources! References page: APA citation style (see https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/ for help).

1)Does ethics depend on the existence of God? If human beings were not created by God, what would render actions good or bad? Would human beings have any absolute dignity (which they otherwise possess as creatures of God) that would place certain requirements on how we treat one another? Without God, would we have any obligation to treat others with respect? If so, what would such an obligation be based upon? Would there be any absolute moral obligations? If there are no absolute moral obligations, is there such a thing as “ethics”?

the theories are

A. Differential Association -- Sutherland theory

B. Social Bonding Theory – Hirschi theory

C. Labeling – Becker Theory
Making sense of biological, psychological, and sociological explanations of deviance
1. Biological explanations Focus on genetic factors e.g., including intelligence, “XYY” theory, and body type Evaluation has shown that none of these particular theories have held up well, but we can’t totally rule them out. Lombroso (1911) proposed the first biological explanation of deviance – he looked at cranial sizes and body types. 2. Psychological explanations Focus on personality disorders, such as deviating personalities and specific negative childhood experiences no particular personalities are invariably linked with deviance 3. Sociological explanations Focus on factors outside the individual Deviance is different from culture to culture Sociologists look for social factors, such as social class, that may explain why certain people break norms. Organization: I. Symbolic Interactionist Theories: 1. Differential Association – Sutherland 2. Social Bonding Theory – Hirschi 3. Labeling – Becker 4. Techniques of Neutralization – Sykes and Matza II. Functionalist Theories: 1. White Collar Crime 2. Strain Theories: a) Merton – American Dream; b) Cohen – status and acceptance; c) Cloward & Ohlin – differential opportunity III. Conflict Theories General I. The Symbolic Interactionist Perspective Theories A. Differential Association -- Sutherland People who associate with criminal peers are more likely to become involved in criminal behavior because they see the behavior as acceptable, e.g. kids who hang out with delinquent kids get so used to delinquency that they think it is OK. Remember disproportionate “association” with delinquent peers causes delinquency. B. Social Bonding Theory – Hirschi Hirschi is interested in why people conform to societies norms Bonding to society prevents delinquency When bonds are broken or weak, the individual deviates There are four types of social bonds: 1) attachments (refers to how much the individual cares about what others think), 2) involvement in society (engrossment in conventional activities means little time and energy for delinquency), 3) commitment to goals (stronger the commitment to goals the less likely the chances of delinquency since delinquency is at odds with the conventional goals), and 4) believing in the rules of society (once an individual has been socialized into a common belief system they are less likely to deviate). C. Labeling – Becker – once labeled a criminal by the system, that label follows the individual through society and they are stigmatized for life. No matter what they do, they are still “criminal.” Eventually this person may have little choice but to re-offend. D. Techniques of Neutralization: Sykes and Matza: “excuse theory” Justifications and excuses for committing delinquent acts which are essentially in appropriate extensions of commonly accepted rationalizations found in the general culture. These are: denial of responsibility: e.g. the action was an accident denial of injury: focuses on the harm done regardless of laws broken, e.g., no one got hurt denial of the victim: e.g. self-defense or retaliation, absence of a victim condemnation of the condemners: the youth turns the tables on those condemning their behavior by saying that they are no better, e.g., cops are racist, picking on me, etc. appeal to higher loyalties: youth adhere to the beliefs of one group because there are greater rewards and more loyalty to that group. II. The Functionalist Perspective theories: focus on groups in society that work together to form a whole. Durkheim was the first sociologist to propose that crime is a completely normal part of society because it helps society function (even though crime is a dysfunction) According to Durkheim: deviance has three functions Sets moral boundaries and norms Promotes social unity: the punishment brings out a feeling of “we” because as a society “we” will not tolerate this behavior Deviance promotes social conge: groups have to get together and decide what is acceptable and what is not. White Collar Crime: Sutherland
First described by Sutherland as a violation of the criminal law by a person of the upper-socioeconomic class, committed during his or her occupational activities. Examples are insider trading, embezzlement, false advertising, fraud, price-fixing, etc. Computers have made this type of crime more accessible.
Strain Theories: there are a whole slew of strain theories – most of them written in response to Merton’s theory, which is known as “classical strain theory.” Strain is a simpler word for “anomie.” As a group, these theories were written largely with juvenile delinquency in mind. They see crime and deviance as a normal response to abnormal conditions in society.

Merton – strain results from an end-means disjunction because not all people have the means to achieve the American Dream – which he saw as the universal goal of our society. People could respond to strain in any of five ways: conformity – non-deviant – the most common response – acceptance of the way things are. People continue to strive for success within the means available to them. Innovation – most common deviant mode – subscribe to the goals but use illegitimate ways to achieve them e.g. drug dealers. Rebellion: another deviant mode – reject the system altogether and replace it with a new one e.g. religious cult groups, gangs Retreatism: deviant escapist response: a person gives up both the goals and the means e.g. alcoholic, druggie, etc. Ritualism: non-deviant – give up the goals and focus on acting in a socially acceptable fashion. 2) Albert Cohen: (1955) wrote the book “Delinquent Boys.” He says the source of strain is not the American dream, but rather the failure to gain status and acceptance from peers e.g. why kids join gangs. Still a relevant theory for today, except that it does not address female gangs – often the reasons a female has for joining a gang is different, e.g., escaping sexual abuse, etc. 3) Cloward & Ohlin: differential opportunity Not everyone has opportunities to commit delinquent acts. Youths form different types of subcultures. 1. delinquent criminal subcultures: organized youth gangs with a focus on income producing offenses; 2. conflict subcultures: gangs focused on turf battles; 3. retreatist gangs with a focus on consumption of drugs and alcohol. 4) Robert Agnew (1992): general strain theory Agnew expanded Robert Merton’s theory by including additional sources of strain. According to Agnew (1992), strain results from three different sources: Blocked opportunity (see Merton) Exposure to noxious stimuli Removal of positively valued stimuli One of the important intervening variables for Agnew is response to strain with Anger. III. Conflict Perspective on deviance: The purpose of social control is to maintain power for an elite group. In the US, this group consists of mainly wealthy, white men who work behind the scenes to control government. They even control official deviance – societies official statistics on crime. Hagan’s Power Control Theory (1988) Structural Criminology Traditional theories take into account relational power dynamics, but they fail to capture the dynamics of power in the measures. The central focus of power control-theory is on the gender patterns of delinquency. Hagan (1988) indicates that “the class structure of the family plays a significant role in explaining the social distribution of delinquent behavior through the social reproduction of gender roles” (p. 146). -Delinquency is influenced by the family structure and how free children are to engage in delinquency. -Patriarchy ? males create and maintain relationships that allow them to control others (this extends beyond a work place setting and influences family relationships). -In patriarchal families, males are generally employed outside the home and the female/mother is delegated the job of controlling the children. Daughters are typically controlled more than sons in patriarchal families. -Patriarchy has survived and been maintained through the development of industrial capitalist societies. ? fosters gendered patterns of delinquency ? boys are more likely than girls to be delinquent. -The emergence of women in the labor force changed the previously well-defined gender schemas. ? As women become more involved in the labor force, daughters will be treated more equally to sons. As daughters are treated more equally to sons, gendered patterns in delinquency will decrease. -Current examinations of Hagan’s (1988) power-control theory have incorporated fear of victimization and rates of victimization into the power-control theory.
-Young men are more likely to be victimized than young women, although the social expectations are the opposite of this reality. -Young women are less likely than men to be victimized, but they are more likely to be fearful of victimization. -Young men are less fearful of victimization than women. -Fear of victimization and perceptions of victimization also influences family dynamics related to power and control. -Fear of victimization also influences likelihood of risk taking behavior.

Assignment 2: Discussion Questions
Response the following two question.
To support your work, use your course and text readings and also use the South University Online Library. As in all assignments, cite your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format.
Discussion Question 1
Evidence-based practice will be the cornerstone of your advanced practice career. Choose a health disease process that is common in the adult population and post your choice to the discussion question area with the title “Health Disease Choice.” If a health disease is posted, pick another one so that there will be a discussion on a variety of health disease processes.
Once you have decided on your topic, research two evidence-based articles. Cite your references in APA format. Do not look for less common and seldom-seen diseases; instead, look for the typical problems that you anticipate seeing in your practice as an advanced practice nurse. On the basis of the literature search and adult disease process, also discuss what parts of the complete health history would be essential in understanding a patient’s current health state and work-up completed to date.
Discussion Question 2
Differential diagnoses must be considered before choosing a final diagnosis. What criteria must be met before a final diagnosis can be made? Give an example of three differential diagnoses for a patient who complains of a sore throat. Support your differential diagnoses with a brief statement of reason. You do not have to have a final diagnosis for this patient; just work up the differential diagnoses. This is a common complaint for many patients.

Module 2: Managing Groups and Teams
Week 1: Fairness in the Workplace
Week 1: Fairness in the Workplace Actions for 'Week 1: Fairness in the Workplace

Human perception, attitudes, and motivation are of keen importance in managing others. One important Organizational Behavior issue spanning these dimensions is the concept of "perceived fairness" in the workplace.

Fairness is such a common phenomenon in organizations that most leaders/managers typically give it little thought. If an employee says the vacation/leave, or other policy, isn't fair, he or she might get some attention. Unfortunately, some leaders/managers fail to realize that unfairness may cause overall performance to suffer and can even have severe economic consequences. Just because you are not paying attention doesn't mean that unfairness isn't making a big difference to your organization's product/ performance quality, mission readiness or completion, customer service, and/or the bottom line.
•For 20 years Charlie, a baggage handler, was an asset to his airline. Callous rule changes and harsh supervisory treatment, however, led him to covertly retaliate. For months, he carefully "evened the score" by tearing off a few baggage tags each shift. Each missing tag caused the airline both service headaches and lost dollars (at the time, $55 per bag on average).
•Reflect on the military supervisor who appeared to have chosen "Attila the Hun" as a role model. Upset with what they perceived as a never-ending stream of oppressive behavior, two technicians took a number of particularly expensive silver-lined spare radar batteries and buried them in the boonies. They almost immediately rotated stateside, leaving "Attila the supervisor" to account for (and partially pay for) these items upon his later rotation date.

While such examples may seem a little extreme, more subtle responses may abound; please consider the questions below and engage in a discussion with your classmates.
Have you seen or reliably heard of such behavior? If so, please cite an example. And what kind of costs/losses (financial and otherwise) might be associated with your example?

Assignment 8.1: Read, Analyze, and Respond

Assignment 8.1: Read, Analyze, and Respond

Description The required readings for this module are in Conformity and Conflict: James Spradley and David W. McCurdy, Conformity and Conflict "Ecology and Substinence," 69-72 Richard Borshay Lee, Conformity and Conflict, "The Hunters: Scarce Resources in the Kalahari," 73-86 Richard Nelson, Conformity and Conflict, "Eskimo Science," 87-92 Jared Diamond, Conformity and Conflict, "Domestication and the Evolution of Disease," 93-104 Richard K. Reed, Conformity and Conflict, "Forest Development the Indian Way," 105-114 (optional) In this article that originally appeared in Audubon Magazine, Richard Nelson argues against the principles of a theory called unilineal evolution. Unilineal evolution was used by anthropologists in the 1800s to explain how societies can be divided into stages of cultural development, such as savagery, barbarism, civilization. In this view, civilized humans experienced a "refinement" of thought (Conformity and Conflict p. 87) where one could expect hunter-gatherers to have less developed thinking than civilized humans. By looking at Native American Eskimo groups, such as the Inupiaq and Koyukon, and describing the mental processes needed to survive, Nelson challenges the theory of unilineal evolution. Jared Diamond’s piece, "Domestication and the Evolution of Disease," examines how humans and human culture provide a "ready new eco niche for animal-based microbes" (93). Diamond also looks at the role of disease in the history and development of human civilization. We read Diamond’s chapter in Module 3. It's interesting how we again dive into questions of human evolution and adaptation as we view it through a new lens: considering the role of the environment and ecological factors in societies and cultures worldwide. There is a lot to read and digest in this module, and you may consider "Forest Development the Indian Way," by Richard Reed, to be optional for this module. You will be graded on the quality of your analysis and ability to communicate your ideas to the class.
