Instructor directions  Develop a 3–4 page research paper based on a selected case study related to sexual problems. By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria Context Most sexual behavior problems must be delineated within the context of the individual's personality, lifestyle, and relationships with others. It is usually simplistic to label any particular behavior automatically as a problem. Several criteria are given that can be used to define sexual problems and that can help put problematic sex into a more realistic and sensible perspective. Determining when a sexual preference behavior becomes a problem is highly subjective and requires a look into different aspects of an individual's life, including his or her lifestyle and cultural and social belief systems. Sexual abuse, coercion, and assault of others represent serious sexual problems (Hyde & Delamater, 2017).

Thank you! Case Study Report For this assignment, you will demonstrate your understanding of how to apply a therapeutic model to a couple's session through a case study report. There are three parts of this assignment. Part I – Selecting the Therapeutic Approach After reading and selecting one of the two case studies (see attachment), select a therapeutic model to complete the assignment. · Emotionally focused therapy (EFT). · Narrative couple therapy. · Structural couple therapy. · Brief strategic couple therapy (BSCT). In the description of the therapeutic model, include the following information: · Analyze the couple's contemporary issue through the lens of the therapeutic model that you chose, including an explanation and application of the model's history, basic tenets, assumptions, beliefs, theories of change, and theory specific interventions, relevant to the presented issue and case study couple. · Justify your selection of therapeutic model for this couple. Part II – Implementation Plan: Therapeutic Dialogue In the second part of the assignment, you will create a 2–3-page therapeutic dialogue. A therapeutic dialogue format is similar to how a drama script is written, as it shows the conversation between characters. A therapeutic dialogue features a conversation among the therapist and the clients. The dialogue should showcase the specific questions, observations, and interventions that are accurate representations of the approach of the chosen model. A therapeutic dialogue is similar to the transcription of a portion of a therapeutic session. Part III – Reflective Analysis For the final part of this assignment, you will provide an analysis of the how your own personal beliefs, culture, and social factors might impact your work with this particular couple. In addition, address any considerations that would help to prevent or mitigate any potential ethical or legal issues when working with the couple. Explain how your methods to help prevent ethical or legal issues align with professional standards for the field: · Justify selection of a specific therapeutic model for couple intervention. · Analyze the couple's contemporary issues through the lens of a selected therapeutic model. · Apply appropriate questions and intervention strategies that align with a selected therapeutic model. · Analyze how personal beliefs, culture, and social factors could impact the dynamics of the therapeutic relationship. · Develop methods to prevent or mitigate any ethical and legal issues with alignment to professional standards in the field.

Term Paper Proposal (Research) Student Name Course Name and Number Instructor Name Date of Assignment Religious Violence and Radical Islam Today, we live in a world where violence plagues our society. I believe it is crucial to discuss the concept of violence. Why does it occur? Why does it seem to be consuming not only those living in America, but the entire World population? Our daily news headlines are stormed with stories about new acts of violence every day. Many times these headlines are developed due to an act of violence that was committed by a religious group. This paper will focus on the impulse of violence within religion. The thesis for this paper is that in any religion in which radical groups exist there is potential for violence to occur. According to the Pew Research Center, Islam is the World’s second largest religion and the fastest growing (The Future of World Religion, 2015). In light of this fact, this research paper will focus on the radical groups that exist within the Islamic religion. The major emphasis of this paper will be to determine if the violence that occurs is a reflection of ideological foundations in the religion or is it more greatly influenced by culture and other precipitating factors. First, I will examine some of the violent acts carried out by religious groups throughout history. I will look at the factors that influenced such acts to be carried out by these groups of people using information from “Religion, Terror and Violence: Religious Studies Perspectives”, by Rennie and Tite (2008). History reveals many acts of violence occurring among religious group. In particular were the battles that occurred during Holy wars. For example, the Crusades were a series of battles that occurred between 1096-1291 for control of the Holy land. I will use examples and information from Selengut’s “Sacred Fury: understanding religious violence”, to determine whether violent acts, such as the Holy wars, were only influence by opposing religious beliefs or were they a product of other factors such as political and cultural influence? I will also implement material from Kressel’s “Bad faith: the danger of religious extremist”, which explains extremist among many religions, in further support of my thesis statement. Second, I will narrow my focus on violence to that which is occurring in the Islamic religion. I would like to express again that I am not focusing on Islam because I believe it is a violent religion. I am focusing on this religion in particular because of its fast growing population and attention it has recently been receiving in our society. As stated in my thesis, I am attempting to prove that violence can exist in any religion in which there are radical groups of people. I will use information from Esposito’s book, “What everyone needs to know about Islam”, to explain a few of the foundational ideologies that exist in Islam. Next, I will focus on the radical groups that exist among the Islamic religion. ...

A Mobile devices have become the de facto standard for communication. Almost all adults in first world countries use one or more mobile devices for work, entertainment, and communication. This means that there are many more devices on a given network and the Internet as a whole, further establishing the fact that there are many more opportunities for hackers to gain access to personal and private information. Mobile devices come with their own ways of protecting personal resources. Describe at least four different types of network security defenses that mobile operating systems provide in order to keep personal data safeguarded. Also, answer the question of who is ultimately responsible for securing personal data: the operating system vendor, or those who own the device hosting the operating system? B With mobile operating system attacks on the rise, it is going to be necessary to develop new solutions to mitigate cybersecurity threats. Most solutions that exist take on the form of pre-existing solutions that were meant to be used with desktop and server type operating systems. Thus, embedded operating systems are only just now starting to see their own utilities and solutions being born out of necessity. Describe some of the tools used to protect embedded operating system assets, and add your own personal opinion of how you feel embedded operating system security should be handled in the future. .

Amy Tan is an American writer whose novels examine family relationships, especially those of mothers and daughters. She has written several bestselling novels, such as The Joy Luck Club and The Kitchen God’s Wife. Tan has a BA and MA from San Jose State University. Mother Tongue by Amy Tan I am not a scholar of English or literature. I cannot give you much more than personal opinions on the English language and its variations in this country or others. I am a writer. And by that definition, I am someone who has always loved language. I am fascinated by language in daily life. I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of language—the way it can evoke an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple truth. Language is the tool of my trade. And I use them all—all the Englishes I grew up with. Recently, I was made keenly aware of the different Englishes I do use. I was giving a talk to a large group of people, the same talk I had already given to half a dozen other groups. The nature of the talk was about my writing, my life, and my book, The Joy Luck Club. The talk was going along well enough, until I remembered one major difference that made the whole talk sound wrong. My mother was in the room. And it was perhaps the first time she had heard me give a lengthy speech, using the kind of English I have never used with her. I was saying things like, “The intersection of memory upon imagination” and “There is an aspect of my fiction that relates to thus-and-thus”—a speech filled with carefully wrought grammatical phrases, burdened, it suddenly seemed to me, with nominalized forms, past perfect tenses, conditional phrases, all the forms of standard English that I had learned in school and through books, the forms of English I did not use at home with my mother. Just last week, I was walking down the street with my mother, and I again found myself conscious of the English I was using, the English I do use with her. We were talking about the price of new and used furniture and I heard myself saying this: “Not waste money that way.” My husband was with us as well, and he didn't notice any switch in my English. And then I realized why. It’s because over the twenty years we’ve been together, I’ve often used that same kind of English with him, and sometimes he even uses it with me. It has become our language of intimacy, a different sort of English that relates to family talk, the language I grew up with. So you'll have some idea of what this family talk I heard sounds like, I’ll quote what my mother said during a recent conversation which I videotaped and then transcribed. During this conversation, my mother was talking about a political gangster in Shanghai who had the same last name as her family's, Du, and how the gangster in his early years wanted to be adopted by her family, which was rich by comparison. Later, the gangster became more powerful, far richer.

After several back-and-forth exchanges, you finally say, “Okay, then, we’ll do it your way.” You do what you can to give that employee exactly what he is asking for, only to find out later that he is still ticked off. You are left wondering, “What is his problem? Isn’t he ever satisfied?” On the other hand, you may have had another experience as well. An employee storms into your office, upset about a policy that, as far as she is concerned, just isn’t working. You listen. She continues talking; you continue to listen. In the back of your mind, though, you are thinking, “I don’t know what we can do to fix that. It is what it is … nobody else has complained.” She keeps talking and you keep listening. Finally she looks at you with relief and says, “Thanks for listening. I feel better. I’ll talk to you later.” You didn’t do anything, and somehow the situation is now okay.

Ambush Predation of Stingless Bees (Tetragonisca angustula) by the Solitary-Foraging Ant Ectatomma tuberculatum Madeleine M. Ostwald1 & Selina A. Ruzi2 & Kaitlin M. Baudier1 Received: 30 June 2018 /Revised: 12 August 2018 /Accepted: 15 August 2018 / Published online: 29 August 2018 # Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2018 Abstract Social insect colonies are high-value foraging targets for insectivores, prompting the evolution of complex colony defensive adaptations as well as specialized foraging tactics in social insect predators. Predatory ants that forage on other social insects employ a diverse range of behaviors targeted at specific prey species. Here, we describe a solitary foraging strategy of the ant Ectatomma tuberculatum, on nest guards of the stingless bee Tetragonisca angustula. We observed multiple instances of E. tuberculatum ambushing and successfully capturing the hovering and standing guards of T. angustula near nest entrances. The unique hovering behavior of the guard caste of this bee species, an adaptation to frequent cleptoparasitism by other stingless bees, may make these guards particularly vulnerable to ground-based, ambush attacks by E. tuberculatum. Likewise, the behavior of the foraging ants appears to adaptively exploit the defensive formations and activity patterns of these bees. These observations suggest an adaptive and targeted predatory strategy aimed at gathering external guard bees as prey from these heavily fortified nests. Keywords Sit-and-wait . bee eating . selva ant . jataí . abejas angelitas Introduction Predatory foraging strategies can broadly be placed into two categories based on the energy expended while looking for food: sit-and-wait versus active foraging (Schoener 1971). Social insects further vary in active foraging strategies by either foraging Journal of Insect Behavior (2018) 31:503–509 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10905-018-9694-9 * Kaitlin M.

However, such group-foraging behaviors often preclude these species from successfully preying upon a vigilant and well-defended target. Many social insects that rely on solitary stealth maneuvers have evolved behavioral strategies for overcoming this challenge (Matsuko 1984; Gronenberg 1996; Jackson and Pollard 1996; Murphy and Patek 2012). For example, Ectatomma ruidum are facultatively solitary foragers, enabling the use of a prolonged stealth approach to capture food items from heavily defended colonies of other social.

Amazon HQ2 Research Project, BUS 163 Professor Cuadra, Tacoma Community CollegeResearch Assignment, Part 2: Be sure to read through all of the questions, completely, before beginning your research. You don’t want to have to keep going back to the same subject. However, you may have to do that to some degree – that is one of things about research. That is why it is critical to keep track of your source. Please research the following questions/areas for your assigned city. BE SURE TO KEEP TRACK OF YOUR SOURCES. You will have to provide a list of references, and in-text citations, in submitted research. Every fact or piece of information you provide must have a citation and the full reference for that source included at the end in a reference list. This set of research is the briefest one and should not take you too much time. Be sure to check out the BUS 163 Library Guide on the left side of your Canvas screen and use the resources listed there to help you with your research.Income/Wages (50 points) 1. Try to find the average area salaries for: a. Executives (this one will vary widely, and you may get a huge range. If so, just put in the range) b. Software development engineers/software engineers c. Accountants – you may find pay rates for a wide variety of accounting jobs. You might find information for some of these: i. Accounts payable ii. Accounts receivable iii. Payroll specialists iv. Controller d. Human resource specialists (sometimes listed as HR managers) e. Non-executive management positions (project managers, program managers, supervisors) f. Administrative assistants 2. Area minimum wage (you may be surprised how low it is in some areas). 3. Overall prevailing wage – this may be hard to find. What it means is what the labor department and/or unions require to be paid. For instance, if you are doing construction work on a highway, your company has to pay you and your employees the “prevailing wage” for that work. In this area, people who pour concrete and do paving get $52/hour because that is the prevailing wage. a. Try looking at several sources, but if you cannot find the information, just list where you looked and say you could not find it. 4. Find out the median income for your city/area. 5. Find out the average household size. It is good to check out the US Census Bureau site for this kind of information. 6. Look and see if you can find out if your city/area has required sick leave, like we do in Washington now. If so, what are the details? 7. What is the average home price in the area? What is the range of home prices? Your information can just be bullet points for this. Be sure to use AT LEAST three different sources. You might want to see what different information you get for any one category. If you get different information, please note that. A good practice is to look into the source for your source – where did THEY get this information. Also, check the dates and you will likely want to use the most recent informatio.

An 'American psychologist' Robert V. Guthrie, one of the most influential and multifaceted African-American scholars of the century, wants to be remembered only as 'an American psychologist.' In an interview with the Monitor, he recollects the barriers he overcame to claim that title. By EILEEN M. O'CONNOR Monitor Staff November 2001, Vol 32, No. 10 In 1955, when Robert Guthrie, PhD, enrolled in a master's program at the University of Kentucky, he was a singular dark face against a backdrop of white. "I remember one of my white professors eyeing me as if I were an anthropological specimen and remarking, 'You are from one of our Negro schools,'" Guthrie recalls. His fellow white students didn't offer much support, either, he says, though he once attended a football game after a white student begged him. But when the band played "My Ol' Kentucky Home," a song that at the time included favorable portrayals of slavery, Guthrie knew he had to "get my education, then get the hell off campus." Despite the discomfort and frustration he felt, however, Guthrie always knew he had a right to be there. That sense of confidence is what propelled him to pursue a degree in psychology when few blacks could, to go on to teach at the University of Pittsburgh, to study multicultural issues as a senior research psychologist in Washington, D.C., and to pen the now-classic tome, "Even the Rat Was White: A Historical View of Psychology." Last spring, the National Archives of American Psychology honored Guthrie as the first African-American psychologist to deposit his papers there. Asking Guthrie to contribute was a natural choice for the archives because he has worn almost every one of psychology's hats, from research to teaching to government service, says director David Baker, PhD. "We know almost nothing about the development of psychology at historically black colleges and universities, and only Bob Guthrie's work examines this in detail," Baker explains. "African Americans have much to be proud about their struggle against adversity, like the fact that in my lifetime they were not allowed to attend many grad schools simply because of their race. There are stories of inspiration, courage and strength, and also of anger, frustration and hurt." First chapters Guthrie and his twin brother were born in Chicago on Feb. 14, 1932. Weeks later, his father, a school principal, picked up the family and moved to Richmond, Ky., then to Lexington, Ky., towns in great need of teachers for African-American schools. Growing up in the segregated South left an indelible mark on Guthrie's career outlook. "I did not think I would have an outstanding career," he says. "I was simply growing up in segregated Kentucky, and as at that time black colleges were training teachers to operate primarily in the Southern schools, I figured I might be a public school teacher. I did not know much about psychology. No one did." He was able to attend Florida A&M University in 1948 by.

Amazon is one of the world's most popular online retailers. The corporation provides its services on an online platform that enables many users in many parts of the world to have access to these services. Amazone company has undertaken massive investments in technology innovations. Amazone has a large base of customers who access the online service offered by the corporation. A large number of online users require that the company adopts the use of cloud computing and ERP systems in its operations. Modern business organizations heavily rely on cloud computing technology in their operations. Cloud computing refers to the process of delivering computer services, which are on-demand from storage applications. Cloud computing happens both over the internet and also on a pay as you go basis. Companies in the modern world prefer not to have their computing infrastructure. They opt to rent access to anything from the use of applications to the storage capacity from a cloud service provider. It is costly for companies to own their cloud computing services. The Maintenace of the infrastructure is expensive too. Companies save operational expenses by renting the infrastructure. Cloud computing enables companies to incur expenses of the only service they use, and they can pay for it only at the instance of use. The companies which engage in the provision of cloud computing services, in turn, make profits from the sale of the services to many users. (Yang et al, 2017). Cloud computing offers a wide range of services today. Through computer networking, companies can get storage space for their information and data. Cloud computing also enables networking and enhances processing power through the use of computer languages and artificial intelligence. Cloud computing also offers ideal office applications. The services do not require the users to be at the computer hardware physically. Individuals today make use of cloud computing technology. Cloud is a term that could, in other words, mean the internet. The information stored in the cloud is information stored on the internet. There are three main models of cloud computing. The first model is the Infrastructure-as-a-service. This term refers to the units that build up the computer service that is possible to lend, such as the storage service, networking service, virtual, or even physical servers. The second model is Platform-as-a-service. The building blocks that makeup Cloud computing are in layers. The next layer up and the layer underlying is what is referred to as platform-as-a-service. Amazon uses Enterprise resource technologies. Enterprise resource planning allows Amazon to integrate various business practices. ERP provides ideal solutions to various organizations. It will enable Amazon Corporation to optimize the use of resources with more significant innovation. Regardless of the size of the organization, ERP helps to reduce the waste of time. ERP heavily makes use of modern technology in enhan.

In some estimates, 80 percent live to see another day. Yet social scientists continue to focus on gun homicide. What happens to individuals who get shot and survive? How do they experience life after the shooting? This article examines how gunshot injuries transform the lives of victims. In practical ways, gunshot injuries complicate sleeping, eating, working, and other previously taken-for-granted activities. These disruptions also have much larger exis tential significance to victims. Indeed, daily experiences with a wounded body become subjective reminders that individuals are no longer who they used to be. Ironically, in some interactions, being wounded becomes attrac tive and advantageous to victims. Together, these themes illustrate the need for more sustained ethno graphic work on the foreground of violent crime vic timization.

American Apparel: Submit your completed strategy and change management plan. It should include all critical elements of the final project, incorporating all feedback and knowledge gained in the course. 1 Assignment:Economic Environment In 2018 I worked in a soft drinks company where they adopted the recent technology in the production to increase the production rates and the accuracy of the quality of the products. After the introduction of the technology in the company, a large number of people lost their jobs since the tech replaced the labour and was cheaper than the manual production that involved individuals directly. The technological factors are one of the external factors that are increasingly affecting the business organization. The business changes relate to the presence and the development of technology. The technology increases the supply of the products. The increase in the supply enables the company to keep up with the demand for the soft drinks. The technology enables the company to increase the productivity and the communication between the suppliers and the consumers. The company can cut down the waste as well as keep up with the demands due to technological advancement. The technology also increased the accuracy in production due to the machinery that was more accurate than the human labour and the company was able to cut down the waste again. The company reduced its expenditure in terms of the losses incurred due to poor production. It is important to consider the environment while thinking about the strategy change. The supply and demand within the business affect organizational ability. The demand and the supply stimulate each other impacting the prices of the goods and services in the budget. The customer's interest in specific products exhausts the supply available and increases demand. The demand and supply of goods and services have a high influence in determining the prices of goods and services. The prices of the product are likely to fall if the supply keeps on growing and if the supply keeps on decreasing the prices are likely to keep on growing (Becker, 2017). However, with the market economy, the interest consumers, as well as the companies, produce limits product that matches the demand and the supply and it is used in determining the product development and production.
