What are the strengths of this theory relative to how well it accounts for or explains the cyber crime you have chose? Be specific.

Requirements: The power point should consist of approximately 20-25 slides with the first slide being the title page and the last being the reference page. APA format is required. Fifteen (15) scholarly sources are required (e.g., texts, class readings, academic journals, professional or trade journals, and WWW sources, excluding Wikipedia) for the presentation. I recommend you peruse the International Journal of Cyber Criminology (www.cybercrimejournal.com) and the Journal of Cyber Psychology (www.cyberpsychology.eu) for appropriate source material. Other useful additional links are listed below. Beyond the 15 scholarly sources, the student may use as many other sources of any kind as he or she would like (Wikipedia, interviews with experts, magazine and newspaper articles (online or print media). The power point presentation will count approximately as a test grade, that is, 16% of your final grade.

This is important. Beneath each power point slide (excepting the title and reference list slides), in the section, Click To Add Notes, the student will provide, in complete sentences and in proper grammatical form, full text for each of the truncated items on the slide. For those students who have difficulty with the craft of scholarly writing, I strongly recommend that you purchase an edition of Stunk and Whites brief but concise resource book, Elements of Style, and more importantly, refer to it often.
Subject Matter: The student will select a type of cybercrime (or category of cybercrimes) and research its possible causes in the context of emerging or established criminological, sociological, psychological, philosophical, anthropological or economic theory or theories. The objective of the power point will be to explain or account for a selected type of cybercrime by established research, empirical evidence, logical argument, or established academic or professional authorities. The student will assess the goodness of fit that a theory or set of theories provides in accounting for the selected cybercrime. Conversely, the student will also outline and elaborate on the deficiencies or flaws of that particular explanation(s). The following structure is required for your power point presentation:
I.Introduction (16 points)
II. Description of the class or category of cybercrime you have chosen, its magnitude, and its significance (17 points)
III.Comprehensive outline of the theory or theories you have chosen to explain the cybercrime(s) in II above (17 points)
IV.What are the strengths of this theory relative to how well it accounts for or explains the cyber crime you have chose? Be specific. (17 points)
V.What are the weaknesses of the theory? That is, in what ways does it fail to account for the cybercrime you have chosen? Be specific. (17 points)
VI. Summarize your evaluation of the extent of the explanatory power of your theory. (16 points)

Maximum total number of points= 100

Explain what commodities point to the U.S. dollar as the Reserve Currency.

What is Q.E. & why is it used by central banks? (15 pts) (between 3-4 pages)

History of Q.E. and previous specific uses throughout history? (10 pts) (between 3-4 pages)(What other countries have used examples of QE in history)

Use of Q.E. in the U.S. Discuss the reasons for the Fed’s decision to implement QE I and II. Was this a good decision or bad? What has been the impact on the U.S. economy since the first and second versions of QE were implemented? (15 pts)
(between 3-4 pages and your research should provide the next steps and reasons the Fed should take your prescribed direction)

QE III’s impact on the U.S. economy. Specifically, as the “brain trust” of Obama, Yellen and Lew continued implementation of QEIII could this process drive the U.S. dollar out of the world’s reserve currency status? How did other major Central Banks responded to the U.S. action of QE implementation. What happens to U.S. enterprise’s borrowing competitiveness and the riskiness of their cash flows if the U.S. dollar is no longer the world’s reserve currency? Will the current discussion of lifting off historical interest rate lows slow or prevent the process of the U.S. dollar falling out of the reserve status? (20)
Important to understand what a Reserve Currency is and how the U.S. dollar obtained this status.
What commodities point to the U.S. dollar as the Reserve Currency?
What happens to the value of the dollar if the Reserve status is lost and how does this change the cost structure for U.S. businesses?
Impacts of higher costs on the $19T debt as lifting off of historical lows begins and the cost of the deficit climbs in the form of higher interest costs to the U.S. tax-paying base.
Tax increases on the 52% of the taxpayers who actually pay taxes in the U.S. will drive behaviors that politicians don’t consider – U.S. dollars held to outside the U.S. to mitigate the U.S. 35% corporate tax rate – How would a rational U.S. corporate tax policy allow these funds to repatriate and boost investment in the U.S.?
How did the Obama “brain trust” engineer the first down grade of the U.S. credit rating (the first time in U.S. history) Why did Obama allow this to happen? Is a weakened U.S. currency and economy better for U.S. citizens or an intentional policy before he leaves office?
The Fed Banking system is operating with reserves that are at historical highs. Why haven’t the reserve levels had a positive impact on lending in the U.S. economy?

Summary: Based on your research what do you predict will happen to the U.S. and global economies now that Obama, Yellen and Lew have engineered this financial strategy? What is the impact on the U.S. Federal Budget relative to the cost of the Federal debt after normalized interest rates begin? (10 pts)
(between 2-3 pages and based on your research what is the mostly likely outcome or probability of outcomes for the U.S. economy)

Research, Sources, References and CITATIONS (15 pts)
– Minimum of 15 academic sources

Formatting, Organization and Presentation (10 pts)
– 12 pt. font, Arial, 1-inch margins on every side. Footnotes or Endnotes are acceptable – your decision.

Key Tips:
– This paper will take time to locate reliable sources and help you develop your understanding of QE and it’s application. If you need to talk call my cell or I can meet you on a Saturday at Starbucks on West End near PF Chang/Fleming’s
– Most people will do fine writing the paper and lose pts on the last two objectives. Please be aware, presentation and references are critical. (I want to see the research)
– It would be hard to write an “A” paper in less than 12 pages. While the range is (12-20) being on the shorter side without proper research and support for your arguments could negatively impact your final grade.
– Make sure your research is academic and use it throughout the paper!!! (Wall Street Journal = good source; Wikipedia = D or F)

Describe priority or key issues for deliberation or consideration.

Nursing Unit Challenge Project: Topic preventing workplace Violence in a Psychiatric hospital. In this assignment, preventing workplace Violence in a Psychiatric hospital. You will be charged with creatively addressing a challenge in an ideal practice environment which can then be applied across different types of nursing units and settings. The goals are to think through a common nursing unit challenge and determine the best evidence-based practices for addressing this challenge on the “ideal” nursing unit.
Prepare and present a maximum of 10-15 PowerPoint slides to the class. The presentation should be in a multimedia format. Acceptable media include (but are not limited to) PowerPoint, video, Prezi, Slide Share, Voice Thread, and the like.
Slides must be easy to interpret and tell a story. Each part should be addressed as follows:
• Problem/Issue Statement
• Practice environment
• Highlights of background information
• Describe priority or key issues for deliberation or consideration
• One to three slides for each article addressing this challenge.
• Recommendations for best practices on a nursing unit from the articles
• Conclusions drawn from the state of current evidence in the nursing literature
• Pose additional questions for consideration and areas where further research is needed
• References should follow the last slide and are not included in the 10-15 slide limit
Presentation Expectations:
• The PowerPoint must be free of mistakes in grammar and spelling.
• It should look like a cohesive presentation, not as if different parts were just thrown together.
• Bullet points should be used on the PowerPoint slides, not complete sentences/paragraphs.
