Introduction:

Criminal liability is dependent on the concurrence of a criminal mental state with the commission of a criminal act; thus, the attempt to commit a criminal act may be sufficient. A substantial step made in furtherance of the commission of an offense must be taken, rather than the mere planning or preparation to commit a criminal offense. Therefore, it can be a fine line as to whether one incident may be the subject of criminal liability while the other is not. Concurrence requires that a criminal act occur at the same time the actor possessed the required criminal mental state. To convict a defendant of a given crime, prosecutors must prove to a judge or jury that all the statutory elements of a crime are present. The burden of proof is beyond a reasonable doubt. If even one statutory element of an offense cannot be established beyond a reasonable doubt, it is concluded that criminal liability will not have been demonstrated, and the defendant will be found not guilty.

Instructions:

For this discussion, you will consider the concept of burden of proof in the context of concurrence by responding to the following in your main post:

• Explain the advantages and disadvantages of our adversarial system regarding the burden of proof falling on the government to prove the concurrence of the criminal act with a criminal mind.
• Evaluate whether a fact-finder can look into the mind of an accused to determine the way that person acted at the time of committing the crime.
• Analyze whether the elements of concurrence are met and whether a man can be prosecuted for his wife’s death in the following situation: the man has been thinking about killing his wife and thoughtfully plans the details of how he is going to carry out the crime, and then his wife is killed in a car accident that he had nothing to do with.

Create a 1 page essay in APA format according to the instructions above. Be sure to include in-text citations. Use 2 scholarly sources for references.

Discussion the purpose of a partnership agreement. Is such an agreement necessary for partnership formation?

Why do you think it is so important to consider thoughtfully and prayerfully those we decide to partner with? Include a Biblical reference(s) into your response. Remember that this does not simply mean list a Bible verse in addition to your response.

1. Provide a supported response in your own words* to the discussion topic/question given for your post. *Any substantial copying and pasting from any source without quotations marks and referencing will result in severe grade penalties on the total grade. Quoting a source is, of course, acceptable. However, paraphrasing is preferable.
2. One scripture reference with application to your post is required for the initial post.
3. Two peer-reviewed scholarly references are needed.
4. 200 to 400 words

This assignment contains four parts, as
identified and described below. Please include four subheadings in your
paper that clearly identifies each part. Include the following:

Part 1: Intake

1. Read and review the Eliza intake document.
2. Assess
   how you would use the Level 01 Cross-Cutting Measure (CCM-1), in
   addition to what specific questions would need to be answered by the end
   of the biopsychosocial assessment.

Part 2: Biopsychosocial Assessment

2. Provide an assessment related to client symptomology along with a DSM and ICD diagnosis based on client assessment.
3. Provide the initial treatment goals and plan.

Part 3: Treatment Planning

1. Determine what Level 02 Cross-Cutting Measure (CCM-2) you would utilize in future sessions based on the information provided.
2. Identify
   one additional assessment outside of those provided by the APA that
   would measure what the future counselor is attempting to assess based on
   treatment goals/plan.
3. Describe how you would convey the assessment findings to the client and family.
4. Include how you would prioritize the needs and formulate agreed upon outcomes, measures, and strategies.

Part 4: Referral

1. Identify any possible referrals you might make and how you might address them with your client.
2. How would you know who to make referrals to and how would you follow up with the referral after you make it?

Be sure to include three to five scholarly resources in your paper.

Prepare this assignment according to the APA Style Guide.

As part of your proposal you will need to create an annotated bibliography and a summary of your proposal.

Annotated Bibliography

If you are unfamiliar with how to do so, be sure to review the Annotated Bibliography section on the library website. It can be accessed here.
Any further questions can be answered in this week’s Online+ portion of
the module, which will focus on how to create an annotated
bibliography.

With your proposal and any other research that you conduct you will
need to find resources to support your topic and then reference them in
order to give credit where credit is due. Annotated bibliographies are
typically used for academic research papers, but they can also be useful
tools for professional reports and proposals. In an annotated
bibliography, each reference includes an additional summary that
describes the content and explains why the source is useful. In your
summary explain why the source is included in the bibliography. As you
summarize each source, make sure you identify the main idea that will be
highlighted. Construct your summary around the meaning and value of
each source and establish a connection of the source to the proposal.
You must distinguish credible and accurate types of materials to support
the main concept of the proposal and recognize the context of your
sources.

For your annotated bibliography, include at least five sources, of
which two must be from scholarly journals. To locate your sources, you
will need to utilize effective search tools within the databases to
distinguish relevant academic and professional sources. Use the
databases in the library to locate the scholarly resources. The
databases can be found in the Library Resources tab.

Executive Summary

With your outline completed and a general idea of what your proposal
will look like, take time now to develop a short Executive Summary. The
executive summary is a one-page summary of what to expect in your paper
highlighting the main points of your proposal. You should use the
executive summary as a tool to get the reader intrigued so they want to
read your proposal to get more information. To engage the reader,
identify the purpose and use appropriate tone and usage for the
audience. Consider addressing the situation and your audience’s views
fairly and respectfully.

As you summarize, be sure to convey the understanding and scope of
the proposal. Give a thorough explanation of the proposal, and highlight
relevant research to support the main idea.

Your executive summary should be written as a professional document and should include these headings:

• Purpose
• Problem
• Solution or Plan mentioning your research
• Conclusion

After you finish your Executive Summary, it may be necessary for you to revise it later when you complete and submit your final draft.

Information Requirements Determination (IRD) Project Component

Based on your consulting company’s initial work in discovering the business needs of Mid-Century Modern Décor Unlimited (MCMDU)(see attachment below), you now have the following additional information about your client company’s processes that will need to be supported by the planned inventory information system:

1. Addition of new item to inventory system: the marketing/sales staff, in cooperation with the manufacturing staff, transmits the basic information on new products to be added to inventory management on a paper form brought to the inventory management office. This form must contain approval signatures of the Vice President for Operations and the Vice President for Sales. Upon receipt of a correct form (as determined by the Inventory Management staff), the inventory information for the new item is added to the appropriate Microsoft Excel 2010 workbook(s).
2. Recurring inventory report: the inventory is reported on a monthly basis in printed form and distributed through interoffice mail to the owner, vice presidents, and managers of the manufacturing and marketing/sales departments.
3. Ad-hoc inventory reports: an ad-hoc report on one or more inventory items may be requested by the owner, vice presidents, and managers of the manufacturing and marketing/sales departments. These requests must be created on a “Special Report Request” paper form brought to the inventory management office. The inventory management staff attempts to produce these reports within two business days of the time of the request.
4. The inventory management staff will also create an ad-hoc report in printed form upon phone request from either the owner or the company vice presidents. There is not a special form for this request: the inventory management will jot the specifications for the needed report down on paper when called by these individuals with a request. The inventory management staff attempts to produce these reports within one business day of the time of the request.
5. The inventory management staff maintains the templates for inventory information from the e-commerce retailer customers within a file folder on a hard drive on the PC computer system in the Inventory Management office. Recall from the Background Information section that e-commerce retailers will generally require that their company-specific templates be used when transmitting inventory-related information such as complete product descriptions. Once the templates are populated with the requested information, the Inventory Management staff can transmit that information to the e-commerce retailers by logging in through the retailer’s extranet portal for MDU.

The Tasks:

Obviously, you will be facing a challenge in effectively determining systems requirements for this project. Based on the information provided in Chapter 6 of the course textbook and web-based research, your team’s task here is to select an overall strategy for determining system requirements. In addition, you have decided to develop an interview process with various employees of the company to assist in determining the information requirements needed to support the development of a system that meets the scope of the planned system. Create this deliverable in a Microsoft Word document.

Your deliverable for this component of the team project is to include the following components:

1. A project scope statement: see the associated definition/description on page 199 of the course textbook and the example portrayed in Figure 5-10 on page 134 of the course textbook.
2. An analysis of systems requirements determination strategies (review Chapter 6) in order to select the optimal strategy for this specific information systems project for MDU. This component must contain an identification and discussion of the potential strategies followed by your well justified recommendation for proposing the optimal strategy for information requirements determination (IRD) for the planned system. Be aware that a single method of IRD is almost never adequate to gather the needed information for a systems development project.
3. An interview plan as detailed in interview outlines followed by specific questions (you should use both close-ended and open-ended questions) that you plan to ask in initial interviews with (1) Alexis Harrison, the company owner and (2) company employees (specify which ones). Note that you may also choose to employ additional interviewing methods (see Chapter 6) for obtaining this type of information.
