1. Access to and the availability of the Internet to conduct local and transnational business transactions, research personal and professional information to enrich our lives, and communicate with others even within the most remote regions of the world is unparallel to anything we have experienced in our lifetime. The overwhelming majority of Internet users access the world access the Internet daily for legitimate, law-abiding, personal and professional purposes, many of whom can be categorized as recreational users. However, for a smaller, yet significant percentage of users, the means and motives for accessing the Internet are far from law-abiding. Their intentions are deviant and as their sexual curiosity piques and increases, so does their addictive, compulsive behaviors resulting in the emergence of a new clinical disorder commonly referred to as sexual addiction to Internet pornography. Define and describe in detail the etiology of sexual addiction to Internet pornography. 2. In Crimes of the Internet, the authors suggest that today's male adolescents are somewhat desensitized to Internet pornography, particularly in regards to the objectification of females as being submissive and subservient. Do you agree or disagree with this position? Why or Why Not 3. As a law enforcement officer, you are empowered with a great deal of discretion as to whether an arrest or verbal reprimand is warranted. You are summoned to the local high school in your jurisdiction concerning an anonymous "tip" that student Joe Smith, age 15, has several nude pictures of his 14-year old ex-girlfriend on his cell phone and has shared the sexually suggestive images with his friends who in turn shared the images with their friends. During your interview, Smith acknowledges having the images and sharing them with his friends. Since the images depict a "minor," you inform Smith that he can be criminally charged with possession and distribution of child pornography. Now is the time to highlight your critical thinking / problem solving skills. How would you proceed in resolving this incident? ...

ANNOTATION Bullyingjpc_1769 140..141 Kenneth P Nunn Bronte Adolescent Intensive Care Mental Health Unit, The Forensic Hospital, Malabar, New South Wales, Australia Key words: bullying; sensitive children; victims. The invitation to write this paper raised a number of difficulties for me. I was aware, of course, that what was in the frame of discussion was the behaviour of children. Secondly, the major focus is on the protection of anxious children from other children with conduct difficulties or just garden-variety playground insensitivity. There are some excellent websites that address these issues1 and some recent Finnish longitudinal research2,3 that is the first of its kind, which broadly summarised says the following: 1 There is a substantial increase in psychopathology in both young men and women almost two decades after being frequently bullied at age 8 years, with anxiety disorders, depression and conduct disorder, all increased. 2 There is a substantial increase in psychopathology for both young men and women almost two decades after doing the bullying at age 8 years. 3 There is a substantial increase in suicide attempts and completed suicide in young adult women who have been frequently bullied even after adjusting for depression and conduct disorder. 4 There were increased rates of suicide and attempted suicide in young men (including bullies, victims and boys who were both bullies and victims at age 8 years), but the increase disappeared when depression and conduct disorder were taken into account. There are at least five main emphases in the management of bullying, which include the following: 1 Special targeting of girls who are frequently victimised for prevention programmes may reduce completed suicide in young adult women by up to 10%.3 2 Teaching children ways to avoid being bullied is likely to be more effective than attempting to reducing bullying behaviour.4 3 Teaching problem-solving skills and positive interaction skills are likely to be as, or more, helpful than programmes that emphasise rules and consequences to discourage bullying.4 4 Most interventions help a little if implemented thoroughly. Most are not implemented thoroughly. 5 Cyber bullying must now be considered as part of the spec- trum of bullying behaviour.1 However, I would like to be strategically obtuse for a moment in order to address the problem without respect to children alone and without the inevitable recourse to vulnerable targets and less obviously, vulnerable perpetrators. These areas have been discussed for so long in the literature and in the popular wisdom that I do not believe I have anything new to offer. Over the last 3 years, I have been working in the juvenile detention centres in New South Wales, where around 400 children at any one time, aged 10–18 years, are detained on remand or with custodial orders. Over 90% are male and 50–60% indig- enous. Those 20% with severe mental illness have an almost 90% recidivi.

CAPSTONE CASE: The Student will be required to read the Capstone Case (page 476 of the course text) and respond to the 15 questions on page 483 & 484. Each question will require no less than a one-page response with appropriate references in APA format double-spaced, Times New Roman 12point font. Capstone case is due December 5, 2018, @ 9:00AM. 476 Presented here is the description of a serial homicide investigation in the 1960s that involved the sexually motivated murders of seven mostly college-aged women in Michigan. The discussion provided here draws primarily on Edward Keyes’s, The Michigan Murders.1 The case is longer and more detailed than the other From the Case File chapter introductions. It can serve as a capstone discussion of many of the issues covered in Criminal Investigation, including the basic problems of criminal investigation, the value of eyewitness identifica- tions, the value of other evidence, the potential value of DNA evidence, how proof can be established, and the impact of technology on investigations. Questions for discussion and review are presented at the conclusion of the case. Appendix Capstone Case Capstone CASE The Coed Murders The nightmare began on the evening of July 10, 1967, when nineteen-year-old Mary Fleszar did not return to her apartment, which was located just a few blocks from the Eastern Michigan University (EMU) campus in Ypsilanti, Michigan. Mary was a student at the university. As is the case in most missing person investigations, the first task for investigators was to determine when and where she was last seen. In reconstructing the last known whereabouts of Mary, an EMU police officer recalled seeing a girl matching her description walking near campus at about 8:45 p.m. the night before she was reported missing. She was alone. Another witness reported he had seen the girl at about 9:00 p.m. that same night in the same area, walking on the sidewalk. The witness reported that a car had driven up next to her and stopped. According to report the witness gave, the only person in the vehicle was a young man, and the vehicle was bluish-gray in color, possibly a Chevy. The witness said it appeared that the young man inside the car said something to Mary, she shook her head, and the car drove off. Shortly thereafter, the same car passed the witness’s house again and pulled into a driveway in front of Mary, blocking her path. Mary walked around the back of the car and continued down the sidewalk. The car pulled out of the driveway and, tires squealing, drove down the street. At this point the witness lost sight of Mary and the vehicle. Mary was never again seen alive. On August 7, 1967, a heavily decomposed nude body was found on farmland two miles north of Ypsilanti. The body was identified as Mary Fleszar through dental records. It was clear to investigators that the cause of death was certainly not natural, accidental, or suicide, given the area.

Capitalism emphasizes fostering individualism while socialism emphasizes collectivism. A major criticism of capitalism is that it creates an unequal distribution of resources and income within society because of its focus on individualism over collectivism. However, a major criticism of socialism is that it lacks the incentives necessary for greater innovation thus preventing an economy from achieving a level of productivity to adequately support society. Questions: A. Why do socialist countries typically have difficulty keeping up with the technological innovations of capitalist countries? B. Would a society that emphasized a capitalist mode of production benefit by a moral framework that emphasized collectivism (i.e., emphasized greater consideration of others and society)? Why or why not? Source: Copied & Paraphrased from Colander (2010): Macroeconomics, 8th edition NOTE: Write your initial response with separate paragraph of no more than 5-7 complete, non-compound sentences for each part.

Capitão et al. Translational Psychiatry ( 2019) 9:30 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41398-018-0332-2 Translational Psychiatry ARTICLE Open Access A single dose of fluoxetine reduces neural limbic responses to anger in depressed adolescents Liliana P. Capitão1,2, Robert Chapman1,2, Susannah E. Murphy1,2, Christopher-James Harvey1, Anthony James1,2, Philip J. Cowen1,2 and Catherine J. Harmer1,2Abstract Depression in adolescence is frequently characterised by symptoms of irritability. Fluoxetine is the antidepressant with the most favourable benefit:risk ratio profile to treat adolescent depression, but the neural mechanisms underlying antidepressant drugs in the young brain are still poorly understood. Previous studies have characterised the neural effects of long-term fluoxetine treatment in depressed adolescents, but these are limited by concurrent mood changes and a lack of placebo control. There is also recent evidence suggesting that fluoxetine reduces the processing of anger in young healthy volunteers, which is consistent with its effect for the treatment of irritability in this age group, but this remains to be investigated in depressed adolescents. Here we assessed the effects of a single, first dose of 10 mg fluoxetine vs. placebo on neural response to anger cues using fMRI in a sample of adolescents with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) who had been recently prescribed fluoxetine. As predicted, adolescents receiving fluoxetine showed reduced activity in response to angry facial expressions in the amygdala-hippocampal region relative to placebo. Activity in the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) was also increased. No changes in symptoms were observed. These results demonstrate, for the first time in depressed adolescents, that fluoxetine has immediate neural effects on core components of the cortico-limbic circuitry prior to clinical changes in mood. The effect on anger is consistent with our previous work and could represent a key mechanism through which fluoxetine may act to alleviate irritability symptoms in adolescent depression. ,; 1234567890(): 1234567890(): ,; 1234567890(): ,; 1234567890(): ,; Introduction Adolescence is a developmental period in which the risk of experiencing psychological disorders increases significantly. Depression is common during this age period, being associated with a high rate of recurrence and significant risk of suicide1,2. Clinically, adolescents with depression display the same symptoms as seen in adulthood, but there are some key differences: depressed youth often exhibit irritability rather than (or in addition to) low mood. This is reflected in the high rates of irritability reported in community and clinical youth samples with depression, varying between 30 and 85%3–5. For this reason, irritability is included as a cardinal symptom in the diagnosis of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) among children and adolescents but not adults6. More recently, irritability has also been recognised as a core.

Capital Investment 5 Sources of Finance for the Proposed CI Project and the Gap between the Theory and Practice of Capital Budgeting By Course Tutor University City/State Date Introduction Comment by Ufuk Misirlioglu: No need along introduction, and add a very limited contribution. Capital budgeting is one of the key processes businesses use to determine the potential of projects succeeding or failing to recuperate the initial financial investments. The process is very critical when large companies want to expand or introduce huge assets, which probably require colossal amounts of first cash investment as well as maintenance. These investments and projects can range from constructing massive new production plants to other long-term schemes. In such instances, business capital investment managers often spend a significant amount of time assessing the new project’s prospective lifetime success, including the cash outflows and inflows. This investment appraisal process is important in evaluating whether the potential outcomes or revenues generated can meet the target benchmark. After achieving a successful capital budgeting plan, it is critical that a firm evaluates its prospective financial sources to fund the proposed projects. For example, based on its financial position, the projected amount of investment capital, and the repayment duration, an organization can either opt for a bank loan or sells its equity to other potential investors. That being said, Foster Construction Ltd needs to assess a wide range of possible financiers to support the purchase of the new ALII. This paper, therefore, mainly discusses some of these capital financing proposals the company can explore, with the last section detailing the existing gap between theory and practice of capital budgeting. Discussion A. Sources of Finance for the Proposed CI Project Foster is a reputable company and boasts of a sizeable annual revenue-meaning that the firm cannot struggle to pay its debts. We truly have quite a range of options that can assist us to fund the new ALII capital project as a private firm. The following are some of the two most viable financial alternatives for the organization: Firstly, I propose we obtain a short-term loan, probably payable within four years, from a renowned financial institution or commercial bank. I strongly believe a short-term loan can assist the Foster Construction Ltd to buy and maintain the modern ALII crane and restore the old one for the next four years. However, there are critical factors that must be considered before identifying the right financier and the amount we can apply. Current and projected inflation rates in the country will definitely play a central role. We must also consider the interest rates offered by each particular organization to determine the lowest repayable amount within the four years. Comment by Ufuk Misirlioglu: Mismatch.

Capital Investment Case Waterways Corporation is a private company providing irrigation and drainage products and services for residential, commercial, and public sector projects, including farms, parks, and sports fields. It has a plant located in a small city north of Toronto that manufactures the products it markets to retail outlets across Canada. It also maintains a division that provides installation and warranty servicing in the Greater Toronto Area. The mission of Waterways is to manufacture quality parts that can be used for effective water management, be it drainage or irrigation. The company hopes to satisfy its customers with its products, provide rapid and responsible service, and serve the community and the employees who represent it in each community. Waterways puts much emphasis on cash flow when it plans for capital investments. The company chose its discount rate of 8% based on the rate of return it must pay its owners and creditors. Using that rate, Waterways then uses different methods to determine the best decisions for making capital outlays. In 2020 Waterways is considering buying five new backhoes to replace the backhoes it now has at its installation and training division. The new backhoes are faster, cost less to run, provide for more accurate trench digging, have comfort features for the operators, and have associated one-year maintenance agreements. The old backhoes are working well, but they do require considerable maintenance. The operators are very familiar with the old backhoes and would need to learn some new skills to use the new equipment. The following information is available to use in deciding whether to purchase the new backhoes. Old Backhoes New Backhoes Purchase cost when new $90,000 $200,000 Salvage value now $42,000 None Investment in major overhaul needed in next year $55,000 None Salvage value in 8 years None $ 50,000 Remaining life 8 years 8 years Net cash flow generated each year $25,250 $ 41,000 Instructions a. Using the following methods, evaluate whether to purchase the new equipment or overhaul the old equipment. (Hint: For the old machine, the initial investment is the cost of the overhaul. For the new machine, subtract the salvage value of the old machine to determine the initial cost of the investment.) Ignore income taxes in your analysis. 1. Use the net present value method for buying new or keeping the old. 2. Use the payback method for each choice. (Hint: For the old machine, evaluate the payback of an overhaul.) 3. Compare the profitability index for each choice. 4. Compare the internal rate of return for each choice to the required 8% discount rate. b. Are there any intangible benefits or negatives that would influence this decision? c. What decision would you make and why?

Can We Know the Universe? The following excerpt was published in Broca's Brain (1979). by Carl Sagan "Nothing is rich but the inexhaustible wealth of nature. She shows us only surfaces, but she is a million fathoms deep." — Ralph Waldo Emerson Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge. Its goal is to find out how the world works, to seek what regularities there may be, to penetrate the connections of things—from subnuclear particles, which may be the constituents of all matter, to living organisms, the human social community, and thence to the cosmos as a whole. Our intuition is by no means an infallible guide. Our perceptions may be distorted by training and prejudice or merely because of the limitations of our sense organs, which, of course, perceive directly but a small fraction of the phenomena of the world. Even so straightforward a question as whether in the absence of friction a pound of lead falls faster than a gram of fluff was answered incorrectly by Aristotle and almost everyone else before the time of Galileo. Science is based on experiment, on a willingness to challenge old dogma, on an openness to see the universe as it really is. Accordingly, science sometimes requires courage—at the very least the courage to question the conventional wisdom. Beyond this the main trick of science is to really think of something: the shape of clouds and their occasional sharp bottom edges at the same altitude everywhere in the sky; the formation of the dewdrop on a leaf; the origin of a name or a word—Shakespeare, say, or "philanthropic"; the reason for human social customs—the incest taboo, for example; how it is that a lens in sunlight can make paper burn; how a "walking stick" got to look so much like a twig; why the Moon seems to follow us as we walk; what prevents us from digging a hole down to the center of the Earth; what the definition is of "down" on a spherical Earth; how it is possible for the body to convert yesterday's lunch into today's muscle and sinew; or how far is up—does the universe go on forever, or if it does not, is there any meaning to the question of what lies on the other side? Some of these questions are pretty easy. Others, especially the last, are mysteries to which no one even today knows the answer. They are natural questions to ask. Every culture has posed such questions in one way or another. Almost always the proposed answers are in the nature of "Just So Stories," attempted explanations divorced from experiment, or even from careful comparative observations. But the scientific cast of mind examines the world critically as if many alternative worlds might exist, as if other things might be here which are not. Then we are forced to ask why what we see is present and not something else. Why are the Sun and the Moon and the planets spheres? Why not pyramids, or cubes, or dodecahedra? Why not irregular, jumbly shapes? Why so sym.

Capital Budgeting and Dividend Policy We examined two very important topics in finance this week; Capital Budgeting and Dividend Policy. Critically reflect on the importance of selecting the right projects in which to invest capital. Do we always select those projects that have the highest return on investment? What other factors play into capital budgeting decisions? We also looked at dividend policy. What incentive is there for a company to pay dividends? What signals does dividend policy provide to investors? .

Cape Town contends with worst drought in over a century By Derek Van Dam, CNN Meteorologist Updated 1:35 PM ET, Thu June 1, 2017 (CNN)The worst drought in a century is forcing the most stringent water restrictions ever implemented for South Africa's second largest city. Cape Town has less than 10% of its useable water remaining for its nearly 4 million residents. The city is implementing Level 4 water restrictions, which ask residents to limit daily usage to 100 liters (26 gallons) per person. The measure is meant to reduce demand and conserve what little water is still available and means significant sacrifices for residents. http://www.capetown.gov.za/media-and-news/Water%20resilience%20a%20heightened%20approach%20to%20avoiding%20water%20shortages%20and%20achieving%20long-term%20water%20security For Cape Town resident Suzanne Buckley, the restrictions mean adapting to a new lifestyle. "We have buckets in our shower and bathroom sink to save excess water," Buckley said. "The gray water is then used to flush our toilets." The restrictions are in effect across the city in an aggressive effort to preserve its remaining drinking water, but it may not be enough. South Africa ranks as the 30th driest country in the world and is considered a water-scarce region. A highly variable climate causes uneven distribution of rainfall, making droughts even more extreme. Speaking to CNN, Cape Town Executive Mayor Patricia de Lille explained her concerns about the growing water crisis. "Climate change is a reality and we cannot depend on rainwater alone to fill our dams but must look at alternative sources like desalination and underground aquifers." The Western Cape, one of the country's nine provinces and home to Cape Town, experiences its annual rainy season during the winter months (June-September). Capetonians are likely several weeks away from any substantial, drought-relieving rainfall. Even then, predictions are dire for this winter as a potential El Niño develops off the west coast of South America, according to the Climate Prediction Center. If El Niño does materialize, it would have a negative effect on rainfall across the Western Cape. Severe water restrictions The average American uses between 80 and 100 gallons (302-378 liters) of water per day. This includes flushing toilets, taking showers or baths, brushing teeth, running dishwashers and watering lawns. Imagine restricting daily water use to 25 gallons. Some of the most basic tasks involving water that we take for granted would be eliminated or severely restricted. For Cape Town resident Kathy Basso, saving water has meant adopting the "if it's yellow let it mellow, if it's brown flush it down campaign," a simple and effective measure that saves nearly 10 liters of water per flush, and has been promoted by city officials. Hotels across the city are closing their pools and asking patrons to be water .

Cape Town Water Crisis and the Efficient Use of Scarce Water By: Peter Ferrara Cape Town Water Crisis Overview As far back as 1990, water scarcity was talked about in South Africa, with an article in the Cape Times predicting the city would run out of water in 2007 Since then rapid population growth has played a role in the water conversation From 1995 to 2018 Cape Town’s Population grew 79% Population not sits at close to 4 million people including the greater metropolitan area 2014: cities water supply is 71.9% 2015: dropped all the way to 50% total capacity May 2017: water levels reach low of 10% capacity Water Restriction Timeline South Africa experienced a once in a century drought from 2015-late 2017 Water restrictions Jan. 1, 2016- level 2 Nov. 1, 2016- level 3, no use of hoses or sprinklers in residential areas Jun. 1 2017- level 4, water usage limited to 100L/person/day Sep. 3, 2017- level 5, water usage limited to 50L/person/day By Christmas Day 0 was set for April 21 2018 > Day 0 is the day when municiple water supplies would largely be shut off and residents would have to rely on 140 water collection points throughout the city to collect their water ration of 25 L/person/day > Day 0 was eventually moved back to May, then June, then July and eventually postponed to an undisclosed date in 2019 > while the intense drought has largely finished Cape town in not yet free of water scarcity Tourism According to the Tourism Satellite Account for South Africa report, tourism directly contributed to 2.9% of GDP in 2016 This may seem small however, the tourism sector is now a larger GDP driver than Agriculture Despite pressure from the drought, the tourism sector saw a net gain of 40,000 jobs from 2012 to 2016 Additionally it is hard to fully estimate how much revenue tourism generates because certain actions by tourists are categorized differently in GDP (buses and trains fall under transportation) Where does Cape Town go from here? While the drought may be considered over, Cape Town and South Africa in general most take further precautions to prevent a crisis like this happening again Recognizing that tourism is an essential driver of South Africa’s GDP, Cape Town must include its water usage in any and all water conservation methods moving forward. Possible solutions Desalination Centers Cape Town has already released funding to build 3 emergency desalination plants More Efficient Dam Drainage Systems Roughly 10% of their main water supply is unusable because it is too difficult to drain from the dam References Flynn, Jaqueline. “How Cape Town Defeated Day Zero-for Now.” Pulitzer Center, 23 Oct. 2018 “Chapter 9.” Environmental and Natural Resource Economics, by Thomas H.
