...Detective Hopewell begins warning Joseph of his Miranda Rights and further admissible interrogation by explicitly acknowledging that Joseph does not “really understand” what his Miranda Warnings or rights are. However, she states that is okay, because his mother (not his biological mother, but his step-mother, Krista) was present during the interrogation. Hopewell tells Joseph to let her know if he does not understand any part of what she is telling him so that she can further explain. He acknowledges that he understands what she just said by responding “All right.” He also acknowledges that he understands that he is in the police station because of what happened to his father. At this point, Detective Hopewell begins to advise Joseph of...

...To What Extent Are Caucuses an Appropriate Means of Selecting Candidates Although most states hold primaries, caucuses are another way political parties nominate candidates for election. Caucuses are a series of meetings held across a state. At these meetings, party members discuss the candidates, and then openly vote for state delegates who represent the candidate they support. Those state delegates, in turn, choose delegates to attend the national convention, where they are expected to support the candidate whom they had pledged to support. One reason why caucuses are an appropriate means of selecting a candidate are that caucuses could reinvigorate interest in the nominating process. Neighbourhood meetings might stimulate enthusiasm in what is now an out of touch nominating process. If the caucuses met in late February or early March, they would by far be the largest delegate prize for candidates seeking delegates before the Super Tuesday showdown. for example the large delegate pool in both parties easily surpasses the number of delegates chosen in any of the early voting states--Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Michigan. A caucus would provide the party organizations with a meaningful activity, and give local party activists a real role in the nominating process. Given the weaknesses of political parties these days, a caucus could provide an impetus for party building and party activity, long missing from contemporary politics. The word "caucus" itself...

...Student-Teacher Interaction on Facebook: What Students Find Appropriate Is it Credible or Not Credible? New Social Networking Sites (SNS) such as Facebook, and other popular sites, provide teachers with greater opportunities for reaching out to their students. As these technologies develop, there is not a widespread understanding of how they could be best be used in education. Authors Brehane Teclehaimanot and Torey Hickman present information in their article that helps to develop an understanding student teacher interaction using these new technologies, by investigating what students find appropriate levels of student-teacher interactions on Facebook. The results indicate that students find passive behaviors more appropriate than active behaviors with no difference depending on whether students or teachers perform the behaviors. Additionally, men find student-teacher interactions on Facebook more appropriate than women do, while there is no difference between undergraduate and graduate students, also age was not a big factor in finding the interactions more or less appropriate (Teclehaimanot, B. & Hickman, T). After taking in account all information and criteria to evaluate the source, I found this source credible for my purpose of writing. The authors of the article seem to be creditable. They both have Ph.D.’s, and have professional experience in technology, writing, and education. Dr. Torey Hickman served as a doctoral research assistant at University of Toledo....

...Editor’s Note: This Chapter is the continuation of an adaptation of a state plan for disaster preparation and response. In total, the original chapter comprises Chapters 1, 14, 16-18. Chapter Overview Many of you are reading this manual as part of your efforts to prepare as a spiritual care professional who will be ready to respond during times of disaster. Your main role will be to provide emotional and spiritual support to those affected by disaster, but it is also critical for you to understand the context in which you will be providing this support—the bigger picture, so to speak. Disaster relief operations are complex systems having more to them than just a response mechanism. They require a significant amount of pre-planning. Disaster experts have long known that waiting until a disaster strikes to test a community’s response procedures can be disastrous. How communities respond to disaster can even induce more stress on individuals and place them at risk for developing a variety of adverse reactions and psychological consequences. This section takes the first step towards introducing you to the key elements of disaster management and response at multiple levels. The focus of this chapter is on the framework of disaster planning, preparedness, and response. In the event of a disaster in your community, you may be asked and/or may want to help. It will help you to have an understanding of the structure of the overall response so that you know how your efforts will enhance...

...religion, manners, customs, values, attitudes, language, and personal communication. Just because it’s popular here in America doesn’t mean it will be a hit in other countries. There are many cultures abroad, and it’s nearly impossible to predict what all those cultures will enjoy. Market research comes into play heavily when deciding to take our sports overseas. Now, as the U.S. sport franchises try and go global they are scouting and recruiting foreign athletes, which makes not only that team but also it might make that sport popular with that country of which these foreign players come from. Just like with any business wanting to go global they have to be willing to adapt to that countries customs and rules, for sports it might mean how they play the sport or the rules of the sport and the overall sportsmanship. The most important thing I believe franchises should do to ensure their product is appropriate is to first see if their product is adaptable and very willing to be flexible. They need to make sure the brand gives a professional image and keeps the message of their franchise positive so adults and kids alike can watch the product and be entertained without religion and politics being questioned. I believe it could be made appropriate for international markets if you adapt to the different customs, languages and practices that comply...

...Effects of Michigan Common Core State Standards on Developmentally Appropriate Practices in Early Childhood Classrooms Effects of Michigan Common Core State Standards on Developmentally Appropriate Practices in Early Childhood Classrooms Introduction As an early childhood teacher in 2013, I am constantly feeling challenged and overwhelmed by mandated curriculum from the State of Michigan. With the recent implementation of Michigan Common Core State Standards, I began to feel the pressure of teaching curriculum that the children do not seem to understand. I began to wonder why? Is it because I failed to deliver the lesson? Is it due to concepts being too difficult? Are the standards appropriate for all learners and where they are in their development? During my career spanning over twenty years, I have believed and am dedicated to providing a classroom environment that is developmentally appropriate for my early learners. I believe the problem is that Michigan's Common Core State Standards are causing early childhood teachers to teach in ways that are not developmentally appropriate. These beliefs brought me to this topic and caused me to ponder if others feel the way I do. Are the Common Core State Standards mandated by the state of Michigan are creating early childhood classrooms that are not developmentally appropriate as perceived by myself and my colleagues. I believe that early childhood classrooms should be free of mandates from the...

...intended message very well. I feel that it was the appropriate communique used and no other type of communication would have been appropriate. The reason is that with the situation being used better illustrates what is going on. I feel that it was at the appropriate level for the intended audience. The leadership styles in the scenario affected the communication in the group by allowing the group to know certain information. Only the information that they need to know. Honestly, there would be no changes that I would recommend to improve this type of communique. The ethical implications of the information being shared is whether or not to merge the companies. Some concerns that they might have. The communication does not share too much information and may share a little less information. I wouldn’t say it was too little information. It was just enough information that is needed until the other responds. Considering the ethical implications affected my evaluation by allowing me to see what information is really important and whether or not it should be more formal or informal. Second Communique (Angela McMullen) The communication conveyed the intended message well but could have been more elaborate. No other type of communication is more appropriate than the e-mail that is used for this one because it is, to me, more appropriate when discussing certain things to just one individual. I feel that it was at the appropriate level for the intended audience. The leadership...

...was a video though Kahn academy. I chose this because not only do the students watch a video about third grade math they have to work a few math problems. This educational resource is appropriate for most of the student population. The video is for third grade math so that makes it appropriate for early childhood. The video gives gradual instructions with visual aids, which can help students who have learning disabilities. The videos on Kahn academy are appropriate for gifted and talented students because the video is based on what the students is learning and what they know. This video is appropriate for students who have challenging behaviors because the video is active and can keep a students interest. The video is appropriate for English language learners because on the website you can choose a variety of languages to hear it in. The video on third grade math warm ups is not appropriate for students with hearing impairments because it does not have closed captioning as an option. The video was not appropriate for students with visual impairments because the video shows different math activities in step-by-step instructions. If a student cannot visually see the steps, I am not sure that the video will help them. Overall, I think that the Kahn academy video would be appropriate for most of the students. The second educational resource that I chose was the Scholastic website as a multi media file. This site has a variety of lessons that teacher’s...

...Old Mule Farms Harvard Case Solution & Analysis Question 1. What is the appropriate cow size of the herd using the 50% weaning rule? Answer: The appropriate cow size of the herd under the 50 percent weaning rule is 1100 lbs as it is the most appropriate percentage of the weaning. In addition to the weaning rule, the 1100 lbs is appropriate because of the reason that, no matter what the weight of the cow, but at 1100 lbs of weight; the loss will be lower. As a result of lower loss, the 1100 lbs will be the appropriate cow size. Please refer the Exhibit 1 for determining the appropriate cow size. Question 2. Compare the value of a calf to the cost of maintaining the cow as an alternative means of determining appropriate cow size. Hint: Calculate marginal revenue and marginal expense. Which method (50% weaning rule or marginal analysis) do you think provides the best measure? Why? Answer: The most appropriate method that is used to compare a calf value to the cost of maintaining the cow is the marginal analysis as it gives the marginal revenue that is calculated as changes in the revenue is divided by the changes in output in terms of quantity. For the comparison of a calf value to the cost of maintaining the cow against determining the cow size, the measure that is used under each weight class of cow is the cost of selling the calves in comparison with the cost of maintaining the cows. To support the above answer, calculation has been made in Excel...
