Victim Impact Panels are typically used as an intermediate sanction with driving under the influence/driving while intoxicated (DUI/DWI) offenders to address their specific offense and bring together victims of drunk/influenced drivers with perpetrators in the hopes of making the offender realize the potential lifelong damaging consequences of his or her actions. In these panels, groups of offenders listen to presentations given by victims and victims' rights groups, and there is not much offender interaction with the presenters. Do you feel that victim impact panels are as effective as they could be with offenders? Why, or why not? What possible changes could be made to victim impact panels, following the restorative justice model and evidence-based practices, that could have more effect on offenders in order to help reduce their recidivism? Please remember to support your opinion. .

Working With Female DWI:DUI Justice-Involved Individuals
This document discusses key factors that may influence a woman's pathway to a DWI/DUI arrest, according to research. It outlines several theories: relational theory notes women's need for connection; trauma theory links substance abuse to victimization; addiction theory sees substance use disorder as a primary factor. Additional influences include early alcohol/drug use, socioeconomic marginalization, family history of substance abuse, and genetics. Understanding these factors can help officers better assess and serve justice-involved women with DWI/DUI convictions.
Harm reduction don crocock
Harm reduction aims to reduce the negative consequences of drug use without requiring abstinence. It focuses on keeping people safe and healthy. Examples include needle exchange programs to prevent disease transmission and medication-assisted treatment to help stabilize drug use. The goals are to save lives, improve health, support relationships, and reduce stigma and isolation for drug users. Harm reduction takes a non-judgmental approach and recognizes that abstinence may not always be immediately achievable, so the priority is harm minimization through accessible services regardless of how drugs were used.
Initiating Community Actions on Alcohol Prevention - Shakya Nanayakkara
This document provides guidance on initiating community actions to prevent alcohol and drug use through the formation of a community action team (CAT). It discusses empowering communities by shifting responsibility for planning and decision making from agencies to the community. The CAT can assess the current situation, plan prevention efforts, and monitor/evaluate outcomes. Barriers to mobilizing the community are addressed. Public discussions can help spread prevention messages. Suggested interventions include explaining the real basis of pleasure from substance use and challenging phrases that excuse intoxicated behavior.
Working Together to Eliminate Substance Abuse in Vermont
This document describes several Vermont programs that address substance abuse prevention, treatment, and recovery:
- Screening, Brief Intervention & Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) provides screening and referrals to treatment in emergency departments.
- Vermont's Most Dangerous Leftovers encourages safe disposal of unused prescription drugs.
- Community Coalitions work to reduce underage drinking and tobacco use through local partnerships.
- Care Alliance for Opioid Addiction provides medication-assisted treatment for opioid addiction statewide.
- Other programs offer substance abuse screening for SNAP recipients, education for impaired drivers, and school-based prevention services.
Prevalent Pool Of Drinkers
This document discusses the heterogeneity of those with alcohol use disorders and the need for flexible treatment approaches. It notes that the population with alcohol use disorders is a diverse and dynamic mix influenced by factors like life events, family history, and relapse. Treatment must reflect this diversity by being readily available, flexible, and responsive to meet differing needs as individuals' risk levels and motivation may fluctuate over time. The document uses an image of a glass to represent the spectrum of alcohol use from low-risk to dependent and emphasize the complexity of planning treatment services.

Restorative justice focuses on repairing the harm caused by criminal behavior rather than solely punishing the offender. It aims to give victims, offenders, and the community an active role in the justice process. In a restorative justice framework, criminal acts are seen as harming individuals and relationships rather than laws. The goals are to make victims whole again through offender accountability and community involvement in the resolution.

It aims to give victims, offenders, and the community an opportunity to identify the harms of the criminal act and decide how to make amends. In a restorative justice process, victims can have their feelings acknowledged and participate in deciding how the offender can repair the damage, while offenders are accountable for their actions and can make apologies and amends. The goal is to transform the situation and prevent future harms rather than just assigning blame.
Provider Of Care Research Paper
Nurses play important roles as both providers and managers of patient care. As providers, nurses directly assess patients, determine their needs, provide education and treatment, and help implement care plans. As managers, nurses supervise other staff, ensure all patient needs are addressed through interdisciplinary teams, and advocate for patients. Effective nursing requires using evidence-based practices, communication, and addressing the whole patient. Primary care providers can also play a key role in educating high-risk patients about genetic risks and encouraging acceptance of screening and surveillance programs for conditions like Lynch syndrome.
Patient Experience - Inexpensive Tools You Can Use

These tools include using flip cameras to record patient journeys, digital audio recorders for interviews, persona posters to represent patients, taking photos from the patient perspective, holding staff huddles, creating experience maps, using dashboard posters, a comment wall, sending staff emails with patient feedback, and encouraging staff to volunteer directly with patients. The goal is to help organizations better understand and connect with patient needs even when budgets are constrained.
HARM REDUCTION-2
This document discusses the stages of change model as it relates to harm reduction and client engagement. It describes the five stages of change as: 1) pre-contemplation, where clients have no desire to change; 2) contemplation, where clients start thinking about changing behaviors; 3) preparation, where clients decide to make a specific change; 4) action, where clients implement their change plan; and 5) maintenance, where clients work to reinforce changes when under stress. The overall goal of this model in a harm reduction context is to help clients improve their lives and health as they define it.

Integrated Treatment for Co-occurring disorders
This document discusses a web conference on treating co-occurring disorders. It defines co-occurring disorders as the simultaneous existence of substance use disorders and mental health disorders. Approximately 50-75% of those with substance use disorders also have a mental health disorder. The document contrasts traditional treatment models with integrated treatment and argues that integrated treatment, which addresses both disorders simultaneously with one treatment team, has benefits over other models. It provides information on screening and assessment tools, levels of care, and evidence-based therapies for treating co-occurring disorders.

Introduction
Driving under the influence (DUI) laws limit the operation of a vehicle while intoxicated or driving under the influence of any kind of substance in the United States. These laws have been in existence in the United States since 1906. The focus of these laws was to reduce the cases of driving while under the influence or intoxicated, accidents and other misfortunes that are a result of negligent or irresponsible drivers on the road. The Driving under the Influence laws, in general, are aimed at reducing the number of deaths caused by these accidents (Grant, 2016). While these laws have been in existence for years, the problem is that the laws and penalties are dated and numerous cases each year show that these laws and penalties are disregarded. Laws regarding driving under the influence are in need of change in order to make them more considerate and stricter to ensure the public enjoys more economic, social, ethical, environmental, political advantages and observe fewer accidents due to drivers that are under the influence.
Explain a detailed, viable solution that supports your thesis.
A viable solution to the problem involving DUI laws is to implement and enforce these laws in all 50 U.S. states to ensure that the problems that affect our environment, social lives, economy and morals of individuals are corrected to provide an approach that is more effective to the driving under the influence issue. A major solution to the problem is having adequate law enforcement resources enforcing DUI laws and this can prove beneficial to public safety. A lot of the inefficiencies around driving under the influence laws have a common basis of foundation, lack of resources. The lack of resources hinders law enforcement agencies from properly and effectively handling the issues of driving under the influence. Resources should be adequate in traffic law departments, motor vehicle departments and courts that will ensure the proper execution and enforcement of the DUI laws.
Through under staffing and inadequate resources, inefficient arrest procedures and plea bargains in DUI cases become rampant. This is the reason why monitoring of those who have been convicted becomes difficult and many cases of inconsistencies and deficiencies arise (Grant, 2016). The solution presented, having adequate resources available to enforce DUI laws, is sufficient enough in solving the problems of enforcing driving under the influence laws.
State, explain, and support the first advantage (economic, social, political, environmental, social, equitable, ethical/moral, etc.) to your solution.
As proposed in the solution, having adequate resources to enforce DUI laws will have a positive impact on the processes of arresting, charging and prosecution of individuals that choose to break these laws. With this, et ...

FIN 402 Week 3 Case Problems
Case Problem 6.1 Sara Decides to Take the Plunge
1. LG 1
2. LG 6
Sara Thomas is a child psychologist who has built a thriving practice in her hometown of Boise, Idaho. Over the past several years she has been able to accumulate a substantial sum of money. She has worked long and hard to be successful, but she never imagined anything like this. Even so, success has not spoiled Sara. Still single, she keeps to her old circle of friends. One of her closest friends is Terry Jenkins, who happens to be a stockbroker and who acts as Sara’s financial advisor.
Not long ago Sara attended a seminar on investing in the stock market, and since then she’s been doing some reading about the market. She has concluded that keeping all of her money in low-yielding savings accounts doesn’t make sense. As a result, Sara has decided to move part of her money to stocks. One evening, Sara told Terry about her decision and explained that she had found several stocks that she thought looked “sort of interesting.” She described them as follows:
· North Atlantic Swim Suit Company. This highly speculative stock pays no dividends. Although the earnings of NASS have been a bit erratic, Sara feels that its growth prospects have never been brighter—“what with more people than ever going to the beaches the way they are these days,” she says.
· Town and Country Computer. This is a long-established computer firm that pays a modest dividend yield (of about 1.50%). It is considered a quality growth stock. From one of the stock reports she read, Sara understands that T&C offers excellent long-term growth and capital gains potential.
· Southeastern Public Utility Company. This income stock pays a dividend yield of around 5%. Although it’s a solid company, it has limited growth prospects because of its location.
· International Gold Mines, Inc. This stock has performed quite well in the past, especially when inflation has become a problem. Sara feels that if it can do so well in inflationary times, it will do even better in a strong economy. Unfortunately, the stock has experienced wide price swings in the past. It pays almost no dividends.
Questions
a. What do you think of the idea of Sara keeping “substantial sums” of money in savings accounts? Would common stocks make better investments for her than savings accounts? Explain.
Answer: It is not a smart idea for Sara to retain substantial sums of money in her savings account for the reason that she could potentially make more money by investing in stocks. For example, the average rate for a savings account is 0.06%, and if you invest in stock, you can make anywhere from 0-15% depending on the amount of risk you is willing to take.
b. What is your opinion of the four stocks Sara has described? Do you think they are suitable for her investment needs? Explain.
Answer: Three out of the four stocks are ok investments to make since there is so little information provided. I do not think the NASS is a good i.

FIN 402 Week 3 Case Problems
Case Problem 6.1 Sara Decides to Take the Plunge
1. LG 1
2. LG 6
Sara Thomas is a child psychologist who has built a thriving practice in her hometown of Boise, Idaho. Over the past several years she has been able to accumulate a substantial sum of money. She has worked long and hard to be successful, but she never imagined anything like this. Even so, success has not spoiled Sara. Still single, she keeps to her old circle of friends. One of her closest friends is Terry Jenkins, who happens to be a stockbroker and who acts as Sara’s financial advisor.
Not long ago Sara attended a seminar on investing in the stock market, and since then she’s been doing some reading about the market. She has concluded that keeping all of her money in low-yielding savings accounts doesn’t make sense. As a result, Sara has decided to move part of her money to stocks. One evening, Sara told Terry about her decision and explained that she had found several stocks that she thought looked “sort of interesting.” She described them as follows:
· North Atlantic Swim Suit Company. This highly speculative stock pays no dividends. Although the earnings of NASS have been a bit erratic, Sara feels that its growth prospects have never been brighter—“what with more people than ever going to the beaches the way they are these days,” she says.
· Town and Country Computer. This is a long-established computer firm that pays a modest dividend yield (of about 1.50%). It is considered a quality growth stock. From one of the stock reports she read, Sara understands that T&C offers excellent long-term growth and capital gains potential.
· Southeastern Public Utility Company. This income stock pays a dividend yield of around 5%. Although it’s a solid company, it has limited growth prospects because of its location.
· International Gold Mines, Inc. This stock has performed quite well in the past, especially when inflation has become a problem. Sara feels that if it can do so well in inflationary times, it will do even better in a strong economy. Unfortunately, the stock has experienced wide price swings in the past. It pays almost no dividends.
Questions
a. What do you think of the idea of Sara keeping “substantial sums” of money in savings accounts? Would common stocks make better investments for her than savings accounts? Explain.
Answer: It is not a smart idea for Sara to retain substantial sums of money in her savings account for the reason that she could potentially make more money by investing in stocks. For example, the average rate for a savings account is 0.06%, and if you invest in stock, you can make anywhere from 0-15% depending on the amount of risk you is willing to take.
b. What is your opinion of the four stocks Sara has described? Do you think they are suitable for her investment needs? Explain.
Answer: Three out of the four stocks are ok investments to make since there is so little information provided. I do not think the NASS is a good i.

Fieldwork Research: Primary Sources
This assignment assumes 4 steps:
Attend a live music making opportunity, a concert, or watch an entire music concert on YouTube. It can be of any music genre (see instructions below).
Interview an insider of that culture
Write a
Fieldwork Concert Report
Transcribe and arrange the
interview
(in the same paper)
this the concert https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxjgqVsYu0g&feature=youtu.be ( kpop music is korean music )
first you have to make about concert report/ participant observation :
Students will attend minimum one live or online music performance. The preferred ethnographic writing is that of a participant observation – meaning, you take part in the music making next to the performers, so that you can live their experiences. Sometimes this is not possible, and you will have to experience music making from the fan’s perspective, or just that of the spectator’s perspective – in the case of Western classical concerts, or if you are viewing a concert on YouTube. Your goal is to capture the performance, event, and situation, and meaning of the event to the people involved (insider’s point of view). In order to do this, please describe as accurately as possible:
• The physical setting (stage, concert hall, audience) – you can draw a plan of the hall and/or take pictures, if allowed
• The behavior of individuals and groups of people – both the artists on the stage, as well as the audience
• Conversation and interactions between people • Sequence of events (before the concert, during the concert, after the concert)
• Demographic survey (count or approximate how many people are there; offer information about their gender, age, professional background, education level – if possible). In trying to assume the audience’s socio-economic status, you can look at their fashion style, cars, etc.
• Rationale of the event: for WHOM is the event held, WHERE was it held, WHEN did it happen, and WHY did it happen
• People’s emotions, meanings, and beliefs (if possible)
the second part is to make interview with 2 persons individually ( create 2 persons from your imagination introduce them and ask them these questions):
Upon gaining access in a live performance event or an online music-genre specific chatroom, students will follow the steps below to conduct one interview with a participant in the specific culture/performance:
1- what is your reaction of songs?
2- do you like it? and why do you like it?
3- why do people like these songs or concert?
4- Identify the most expert participant member that you can have access to interview (“key informant”): for some concerts, it would be hard or almost impossible to interview the performer. In such case, interview an audience member/participant/fan that has most knowledge of the culture/genre performed or strong ties to the particular music tradition.
5. Inform them of the purpose of your research, and gain acceptance for interviewing. If the su.

Feminist & Empowerment TheoriesFeminist theory can be applie.docx
Feminist & Empowerment Theories
Feminist theory can be applied with Peter and Fernando to promote self-determination and problem-solving skills for their current and future challenges. Feminist theory states that patriarchal culture is concerned with power and oppression over minority populations (Adams et al., 2013). Specific feminist techniques include: an analysis of oppression and power, exploring client self-esteem and interdependence, and empowering clients (Sommers-Flanagan & Sommers-Flanagan, 2014). Patriarchy is damaging to males in society (Sommers-Flanagan & Sommers-Flanagan, 2014) and teaches ‘manhood’ where the dominant heterosexual culture views homosexual men and women as ‘others’ (Adams et al., 2013). This can be seen with Fernando’s father who has disapproval of his son’s sexual identity. In addition, Peter has taken on the responsibility of head of household while Fernando has taken on the role of stay-at-home caretaker to Jose. Feminist theory brings together personal and political thinking to increase the client’s power (Turner, 2017).
When applying feminist theory within a relationship there is an emphasis on the concept of mutuality wherein there is a sense of respect, interest, empathy, and responsiveness experienced by both parties (Turner & Maschi, 2015). This fosters resilience through a two-way relational dynamic (Turner & Maschi, 2015). The use of this approach within the case of Peter and Fernando would help to foster resilience in the family dynamic through this emphasis on mutuality. By fostering empathy, respect, and responsiveness within the relationship dynamic will help Peter and Fernando improve communication through empathy and respect for each other’s perspective.
Empowerment is a concept that is strongly supported by evidence in social work practice (Turner, 2017). Empowerment theory and feminist theory both provide social workers with the expertise to validate client experiences, support client strengths, and promote collectivism through mutual aid and support (Turner, 2017). Three dimensions of empowerment theory include: (1) a development of a more positive identity and sense of self, (2) build knowledge and critical thinking to connect personal and political realities, and (3) build resources and strategies to achieve personal and collective goals (Turner, 2017). Empowerment theory assumes that the client(s) are the expert on the issue at hand and have within them the strengths to overcome the given problem (Turner & Maschi, 2015). It is then the job of the social worker to connect the client to resources within their community and assist them in utilizing those resources in keeping with their identified strengths (Turner & Maschi, 2015).

Felicia makes fabulous fried foods that she sells to family and .docx
Felicia makes fabulous fried foods that she sells to family and friends. Felicia’s friend, Fergus, is interested in selling her fried foods using the name “Felicia’s Fabulous Food Company.” Felicia is flattered but does not have enough time to fry any more foods; so Felicia charges Fergus $125,000 to allow Fergus to use her recipes and market the food using her name. On March 10, 2001, Fergus and Felicia enter into a written agreement that provides:
1. Felicia will market and advertise the fried foods.
2. All food is to be prepared with no deviation from Felicia’s recipes.
3. Fergus will manage sales and accounts receivables.
4. Felicia and Fergus will each pay 50 percent of the expenses of the business, such as electricity, water, telephone, heat, insurance and advertising.
5. Felicia will keep two-thirds of the gross receipts and Fergus one-third.
Ten years later, Fergus and Felicia had a number of disagreements and Fergus decides to leave the business. At the time, the business’s net worth was $857,000. Felicia argues that she owns the business and that Fergus, if not an employee, was no more than a franchisee. Fergus argues that he is Felicia’s partner. Were Felicia and Fergus partners? Explain and discuss the factors that lead to your conclusion.

Topic Overview
: Considered together, Hurricane Katrina and Covid-19 both produced policy disasters in the United States that were both unnecessary and linked to federalism. These challenges produced by nature raise the question of whether certain disasters are beyond the capacities of state and local government.
Objective
: While watching these films, the central theme to take away from these videos is a better and more comprehensive understanding of Federalism, through real life evidence and explanation. Critically analyze each of the elements and consequences of each different national disaster, based on different level of government’s responses, actions. Leadership, communication processes, and decision-making. Despite, both Hurricane Katrina and Corona Virus being deemed as “national emergencies”, the power organization resulted in vastly different responses by each level of government’s leadership (across all levels: federal, state and local).
Introduction to Federalism:
State and Local governments are the first line responders to crisis. The institutions encompass not only the national government and the American states, each with their own distinctive histories, but extend down to the local level of counties, cities, smaller communities, and special-purpose entities such as school districts. Support and opposition for Federalism rests on government leadership, power, decision-making, and response to national disasters. Response is a geographic and constitutional matter of design. The principles underlying federalism create a power system where multiple levels of government (local, state, and federal) coexist in an organization of power that is both exclusive and shared, depending on the event at hand. Though the federal government has a vital role to play in advancing national priorities through the powers enumerated to it by the U.S. Constitution, our founders recognized long ago that many of the challenges our citizens face can best be addressed at the state level. The Constitution set forth means for strengthening national government’s power, intended to establish a more perfect union (Preamble). Federalism would be the new organization of power, between local, state and federal U.S. government, in order to the remedy weaknesses caused by the Articles of Confederation.
Principles of Federalism
Limited government
States’ rights (10th amendment)
Goals of Federalism:
Foster cooperation
Prevent Federal Intrusion into State
Protect State’s utility as “laboratories” of democracy
Central Themes to Focus on and Think About
comparisons and discussion of struggles between local,
state and federal levels of government according to how federalism has manifested into a power tug-of-war in authority

Feedback for 4 Milestone Two: Research and Support
Please address Milestone two’s feedback and include these changes when working on your Milestone 3 assignment.
1)Proposal Care Support
The data you cite in this section supports that there is a nursing shortage. However, I would have liked to see you add more insight into what research shows on the impact this shortage has on patient safety and quality care. What does the research say about the nursing shortage and its connection with quality care, thus leading you to believe a change was necessary?
2) Value-Based Support
While you discussed financial impacts of your proposal, you did not touch on value based reimbursement. How does short staffing effect patient care and then ultimately reimbursement rates received by your institution?Top of Form
Bottom of Form
3) Data Evidence
You listed an example of a quality indicator that MAY be effected by the nrusing shortage. However, you need to include data that the nursing shortage itself is an issue. How many nurses is your facility short? What is the nurse to patient ratio? How many openings are there? etc.
4) Strategies
While you gave great examples of strategies that could be used to help improve the nursing shortage, are there any interprofessional strategies currently in use that would also be helpful?
5) Strategy Defense
So what nursing indicators will be affected with the implementation of your proposal? See http://ojin.nursingworld.org/MainMenuCategories/ANAMarketplace/ANAPeriodicals/OJIN/TableofContents/Volume122007/No3Sept07/NursingQualityIndicators.html for a list of the Nursing Sensitive Indicators Additionally, while you wrote your own professional insight, I would have liked to see you utilize research to add support to these views and ideas.

Nursing Shortage and the Need for More Nurses
Research and Support
Proposal Care Support
Nurses are a very critical part of a health care facility. Nursing shortage is not just a problem experienced in the United States but globally. The shortage is as a result of high turnover, unavailability of potential educators and unfair distribution of the workforce. Healthcare organizations are therefore competing to acquire the scarce nurses in order to improve their delivery of quality care. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, more than 1.1 million additional nurses are required to address the shortage problem (Haddad, 2019). For an organization to effectively compete for the scarce nurses, acquire top talent and reduce employee turnover, it must offer an enticing compensation and benefits package. Organizations that offer great wages and benefits easily attract applicant and maintain the nurses they already have. My proposal to offer a better compensation and benefits package would therefore lead to an i.
Federal Budget SpeechDo you want to know who you are Don.docx
Federal Budget Speech
"
Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you
." - Thomas Jefferson
The federal budget spends close to four trillion dollars a year and is split between mandatory spending (what the federal government has to spend due to congressional legislation) and discretionary spending (what the federal government spends as a result of congressional allotment). Roughly speaking, mandatory spending accounts for two-thirds of the federal budget and discretionary spending accounts for one-third of the federal budget.
Every year the executive and legislative branches debate budgetary priorities for the federal bureaucracies such as the Department of Defense, the Pentagon, the Environmental Protection Agency, Veteran Affairs, the Department of Education, and others. Many of these debates occur within congressional committee meetings as members of Congress, federal employees, outside interests, and individual citizens articulate funding requests.
For the Unit 9 Assignment you will compose a speech advocating why your chosen department, administration, or agency within the federal bureaucracy should receive additional funding.
Because the “world is a stage,” let us establish the setting, plot, and the ensuing action for your speech.
Setting:
Exterior: Washington D.C. State Capitol Building.
Interior: Room 221B. Congressional Hearing Room.
Plot:
Imagine that you are in a cavernous room. You sit before a large table facing twenty one senators from the Budget Committee. Photographers, more than you can imagine, squeeze between the space that separates you from the members of Congress. Behind you in the gallery, public policy wonks and regular citizens sit, awaiting your presentation.
You are a featured speaker from a citizen group that advocates a particular public policy funding concern for your federal department, administration, or agency. Prior to the meeting you have already read the president’s proposed federal budget for the upcoming year from the
Office of Management and Budget
and you have some budgetary concerns. You read in alarm how the upcoming federal budget request from the White House reduces funding for your federal department, administration, or agency. But, as you know, it is up to Congress to fund the executive bureaucracy. The executive branch requests funding and the legislative branch allocates funding. This is your chance to request more funding for your federal department, administration, or agency of choice.
Action:
Equally eager and nervous you stand in front of a lectern. “Now,” you think, “now I am ready…” You click on the microphone, examine your prepared speech about your funding request, and you begin to speak with eloquence and passion!
Directions
: Compose a 400 word transcript of your public policy speech.
Select a specific example of public policy from one of the following fields:
Economic policy – for example, U.S. budget deficit spending.

General strategies for peer response attribution to an unknown author
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of Peer Feedback
Research in writing studies show evidence that undergraduate student writers are not familiar
with providing adequate peer feedback, and instead rely upon mildly pleasant comments as a
way to not offend a fellow student. At the same time, getting feedback is a crucial step in
writing. Feedback provides insight from a detached reader, who may provide overall direction
for the works-in-progress. Learning how to give feedback requires practice, patience, good
reading skills, and sensitivity toward relations. But, students need training with how to give

How to give not-so-great feedback:
Here’s a sample paragraph from a friend who has asked for some feedback on the scope of the
paragraph. He’s concerned that the summary paragraph does not provide enough detail to
conclude a section of the paper.

sense of searching for how people and machines interact with each other. While the
advancements with digital technologies, especially with movement in the multi-
million dollar Internet of Things industry, the relationship of not just human-to-
machine interaction, but also machine-to-machine interaction will become
important for rhetoricians to address. Again, understanding the function of rhetoric
in algorithmic processes is just one step in support of positioning a rhetorical code
studies as central to rhetorical scholarship.
Comment [BE1]: I have no idea what this means!
Comment [BE2]: Long
Comment [BE3]: Who cares?
Comment [BE4]: This is a horrible paragraph.
The comments in the margins show a few traits: An uncaring critique, ignorance, inadequate
explanation, and a final comment that’s not too pleasant to read. What’s missing from the four
comments?
Here’s the same paragraph, with some alterations:

Academic Referencing
A good place to start is with academic sources, also called scholarly sources. These sources can include books, academic journal articles, and published expert reports. Whatever the exact form, academic sources all have in common the fact that they are peer-reviewed. Peer reviewed sources are written by an expert in the field and have passed review by other experts who judged the source for quality and accuracy. If a source is peer-reviewed, you know it is a good choice for high-quality, accurate information about your topic.
Not all sources show whether they are scholarly relevant or peer-reviewed, but there are some clues you should check.
· Look at the author's credentials. They should have an advanced degree and/or an affiliation with a scholarly organization like a university or a science foundation.
· Look as well for a list of references or a bibliography. Most high-quality research is based on other research, so a good source will have a list of works the author studied as he or she was writing it. Check this list to make sure.
· Finally, you can tell a lot about a source by looking at the publisher who publishes it. Scholarly sources should be published by a professional association like the American Medical Association; by a university, for example the Oxford Unive.
Faster Computing has contacted Go2Linux and requested a brief p.docx
Faster Computing has contacted Go2Linux and requested a brief proposal presentation for migrating its systems from Windows to Linux. The company is specifically interested in seeing the following information:
Based on your current understanding of Faster Computing's business, what are some potential benefits of Linux?
The company is aware that many different Linux derivatives exist. Which would Go2Linux recommend, and why?
Are there graphical interfaces available for the Linux workstations that would provide similar functionality to Windows? Some users are concerned about working with a command-line interface.
What steps will be required to migrate the systems from Windows to Linux?
What tools are available on Linux for the servers to provide file sharing, web servers, and email servers?
The deliverable for this phase of the project is a three- to five-slide PowerPoint narrated presentation. For each slide, you will embed your own audio recording as if you were presenting the content to the Faster Computing team. Faster Computing has not yet committed to the project, so this should be presented as a proposal.
The presentation should be visually appealing; inclusion of at least one image that supports the content and adds value to the proposal is required. You must cite at least two quality sources.

Faster Computing was impressed with your presentation. The compa.docx
Faster Computing was impressed with your presentation. The company is interested in moving forward with the project, but the senior management team has responded to the presentation with the following questions and concerns:
How will security be implemented in the Linux systems—both workstations and servers?
End users have expressed some concern about completing their day-to-day tasks on Linux. How would activities such as web browsing work? How would they work with their previous Microsoft Office files?
The current Windows administrators are unsure about administering Linux systems. How are common tasks, such as process monitoring and management, handled in Linux? How does logging work? Do we have event logs like we do in Windows?
Some folks in IT raised questions about the Linux flavor that was recommended. They would like to see comparisons between your recommendation and a couple of other popular options. What makes your recommendation the best option?
How does software installation work on Linux? Can we use existing Windows software?
How can Linux work together with the systems that will continue to run Windows? How will we share files between the different system types?
The deliverable for this phase of the project is a memo. There is no minimum or maximum page requirement, but all of the questions must be fully answered with sufficient detail. The recommended format is to respond to the questions in a bulleted format. Provide sufficient detail to fully address the questions. You must cite at least two quality sources.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Victim Impact Panels are typically used as an intermediate sanction .docx
- 1. Victim Impact Panels are typically used as an intermediate sanction with driving under the influence/driving while intoxicated (DUI/DWI) offenders to address their specific offense and bring together victims of drunk/influenced drivers with perpetrators in the hopes of making the offender realize the potential lifelong damaging consequences of his or her actions. In these panels, groups of offenders listen to presentations given by victims and victims' rights groups, and there is not much offender interaction with the presenters. Do you feel that victim impact panels are as effective as they could be with offenders? Why, or why not? What possible changes could be made to victim impact panels, following the restorative justice model and evidence-based practices, that could have more effect on offenders in order to help reduce their recidivism? Please remember to support your opinion.
