View Point Corp and JD Corp are two unrelated corporations that had adjacent parcels of land that they wished to develop together in one project. They decided to pool their land in a partnership.

When it transferred the land to the partnership, View Point filed a section 97 election identifying the fair market value as $750,000, the agreed amount as $225,000, with the difference being $525,000.

JD Corp transferred its parcel at fair market value of $200,000. JD Corp completed some preliminary work at their own expense and brought expertise to the project that warranted 60% share of the project.

The partnership was created in 1998. It constructed condominiums and sold them. The last condominium was sold in 2003. At which time the partnership dissolved. On the final settlement JD Corp showed a negative ACB of $200,000.

View Point Corp changed accountants around the time of the dissolution who discovered an error in the accounting records of the partnership. Although View Point and the Partnership had filed an election to roll the land into the partnership at a reduced cost, the partnership had recorded the property at fair market value. The accountant advised his client to amend its returns to recognise the unreported the capital gains. Which they did. This resulted in an increased ACB of the partnership interest for View Point in the amount of $525,000. No adjustments were made to JD’s ACB.

The Partnership Agreement included the following paragraph:

All tax consequences of the transfer of any asset to the Partnership by a Partner pursuant to this paragraph 11 shall be the sole responsibility of the partner transferring the asset to the partnership and shall not be a responsibility of the Partnership. It is further agreed that the value at which the said assets are transferred to the Partnership shall be as agreed between the Partners, or, failing agreement, at the value specified by the Partner transferring such asset to the Partnership

We have learned that adolescence is a time of transition between childhood and adulthood. A critical milestone of this stage is the ability to successfully achieve a sense of identity. Around the world, there are different rites of passage to mark the transition to adulthood. In the United States, this might include obtaining a driver’s license, landing one’s first job, senior prom, or high school graduation. In this assignment, we will explore the role that family and society play in the development of the individual’s sense of self.

 

Create two documents for parents of minority teens 1) A 9–12-slide PowerPoint presentation (complete with speaker’s notes) and 2) an accompanying 1–2-page handout/flier in Word document or PDF format. Be sure that both illustrate the following:

 

1. Describe common rites of passage from two cultures around the world and compare them to a common American rite of passage.  Possible resources might include National Geographic and the Argosy University Online Library.
2. Compare and contrast these rites to common US rites of passage. Do they coincide with the physical, cognitive, or socioemotional changes taking place at this age? Describe which specific changes (physical, cognitive, or socioemotional) they coincide with. Does this explain their importance in a particular culture?
3. How might such a social ritual, such as a rite of passage, influence the identity formation process of adolescents?
4. In light of Erikson and Marcia’s theories, discuss how the process of identity development is affected when the adolescent belongs to a minority group (racial, ethnic, sexual, or religious). Be sure to explain these theories and how they apply to identity development.
5. Summarize research from at least two peer-reviewed* studies on the effect of minority status on identity development, ensuring you describe the main findings of the study as well as the research methods used to study the topic.
6. Apply the information you gathered from the online notes, textbook, and research articles to provide at least three practical recommendations for what the family, school, and community can do to ease the process for adolescents.

*Peer-reviewed means an article from a reputable journal, which can be found in the Argosy University Online Library. Peer reviewed indicates that other professionals in the field have reviewed and deemed it worthy of publication, in contrast to much if what we find online: someone posting something he or she wants to, without someone else verifying that the research methods were rigorous enough and the study is valid. Use your textbook and course lectures as your primary resources, as well as articles from the Argosy University Online Library. If you must supplement from a website, do NOT use .coms. Instead, look for .org, .gov, and sometimes .edu for more reputable sources. Never use Wikipedia or about.com.

 

This assignment is worth 300 points and will be evaluated according to the rubric. Study the rubric carefully before you start work and refer to it periodically to complete this assignment

Imagine you are an Information Systems Security Officer for a medium-sized financial services firm that has operations in four (4) states (Virginia, Florida, Arizona, and California). Due to the highly sensitive data created, stored, and transported by your organization, the CIO is concerned with implementing proper security controls for the LAN-to-WAN domain. Specifically, the CIO is concerned with the following areas:

Protecting data privacy across the WAN Filtering undesirable network traffic from the Internet Filtering the traffic to the Internet that does not adhere to the organizational acceptable use policy (AUP) for the Web Having a zone that allows access for anonymous users but aggressively controls information exchange with internal resources

Having an area designed to trap attackers in order to monitor attacker activities Allowing a means to monitor network traffic in real time as a means to identify and block unusual activity Hiding internal IP addresses Allowing operating system and application patch management

The CIO has tasked you with proposing a series of hardware and software controls designed to provide security for the LAN-to-WAN domain. The CIO anticipates receiving both a written report and diagram(s) to support your recommendations.

Write a three to five (3-5) page paper in which you:

1. Use MS Visio or an open source equivalent to graphically depict a solution for the provided scenario that will:
   1. filter undesirable network traffic from the Internet
   2. filter Web traffic to the Internet that does not adhere to the organizational AUP for the Web
   3. allow for a zone for anonymous users but aggressively controls information exchange with internal resources
   4. allow for an area designed to trap attackers in order to monitor attacker activities
   5. offer a means to monitor network traffic in real time as a means to identify and block unusual activity
   6. hide internal IP addresses
