The loan will be repaid in Canadian dollars. At the time of the loan, the spot exchange rate was U.S. $0.8995/Canadian dollar and the Canadian currency was selling at a discount in the forward market. The contract after six months (face value = C$150,000 per contract) was quoted at U.S. $0.8930/Canadian dollar.

  • Explain how the American bank could lose on this transaction assuming no hedging.
  • Assume the bank does hedge with the forward contract, what is the maximum amount it can lose?

2 Student Responses ONLY: Advanced Youth Counseling 2

I need two student responses ONLY. The
initial post is finished and I have attached it so you know what my stance was
on the discussion originally. I also am providing the initial question below
for reference on what the discussion was about:

For this week’s discussion please listen to
the Jackie Flynn EMDR podcast link below and answer the following questions:

1) Provide a description about something
interesting or surprising you learned about EMDR practice with children from
Dr. Flynn

2) At the 34:35 minute mark, Dr. Flynn
discusses the importance of closing out session to make sure the client is calm
and ready for the rest of their day. Please list and describe two
grounding/calming strategies you can use with a client.

Please respond thoughtfully to two of your
peers about each question.

Please respond to at least two of your

psychiatrist so write accordingly. My professor also likes if you include
critical thinking questions in response to the student’s response. Below is my
initial post plus the two students to respond to.

Here is the video the discussion referred to:

Chapter 11 Reflection Assignment

Part 1:

You will be submitting a reflective response to the textbook chapter for this module.

The “reading response” assignment is a technique for engaging in a dialogue with the instructor. The dialogue should be academic in nature, but can also be personal as you relate the information to your life. Do not simply tell me what the chapter presented. Instead, SHOW ME that you have read and understood the chapter by integrating information from it into your more personal, reflective thoughts on the topic. The “reading response” entry should respond to the following question:

Chapter Eleven: Forensic Interviewing of Child Victims

  1. After reading this chapter, would you be interested in pursuing a career in forensic interviewing? What would be the benefits and drawbacks of this type of career?(At least 400 words)

Part 2:

Forensic Interviewing Discussion

Here you will discuss various thoughts, observations, disagreements, etc. related to this module and your own perspectives. You are encouraged to include your personal experiences and observations as part of these discussions. (At least 200 words)

Textbook: McCoy, M. L., and Keen, S.M. (2014). Child Abuse and Neglect, 2nd Ed.

New Media Literacy assignment :web-log+report analysis 750word

DESCRIPTION:

This two-part assignment asks you to conduct a small study on your activities online. The first part involves keeping a web-log about your activities online over the course of five (5) consecutive days: you must use the format of the chart provided. The second part consists of writing a report that summarizes your findings. Both parts must be submitted as a single file.

LENGTH:

750-1000 words for the written report itself: log data is not to be part of the word count.

PURPOSE:

The purpose of the assignment is to think self-reflexively about what you do online. You will think about your larger patterns of use and how these shape you as a consumer and/or producer of online content.

SUBMISSION:

Upload your assignment via Sakai. Go to “Assignments”, click on Assignment 1, and click on ‘Add Attachments’. You will upload your assignment as a single file.

Your filled-out log must be present in the file you submit: if no log is present, or if the log is left blank, a permanent grade of 0 will be issued for your assignment being incomplete.

PARAMETERS:

  • Your whole assignment must be uploaded as a single .doc file, or as a single .pdf file.
  • Mac users: you can convert a Pages document into a word .doc by going to the menu bar and choosing: ‘File’ – ‘Export’– ‘Word’.
  • Files that cannot open and/or incorrect files will receive a grade of 0.
  • We will not be tracking down assignments: you must submit properly, on-time.
  • Check and double check to ensure that the file is attached and is the correct file. After submitting, definitely review your submission so you can see/confirm the file.
  • It is your responsibility to ensure that you have uploaded your file into Sakai. You have a maximum of five re-submission attempts BEFORE the deadline passes.
  • Late assignments will receive a grade of 0.
  • Assignments sent via e-mail will receive a grade of 0.

Part One: Internet Log of Activities

  • Start as soon as possible. The earlier you start, the more time you will have to reflect on the data. Waiting too late to start your log is a major cause of poorly done assignments.
  • You are graded on the thoroughness of your internet log: the more detailed the log is, the better. Example entries have been provided to you.
  • The log will provide a clear sense of what you do online each day over the course of five consecutive days. If it does not, it was poorly done, and this will be reflected in your grade.
  • Log all of your activities. There is no single ‘right’ way to do this. For example, you might do a series of online activities on a single device, in a single session/sitting, and you might choose to represent these on your log chart as one item comprising multiple ‘CONTENT’ types, or you might choose to represent them as multiple separate items. The goal is that your log is detailed.
  • Your log however should NOT consist of just a few long items: the point is to break down and analyze your online activities systematically, and this requires many distinct items to be present.
  • Please do not log, detail, or describe any intimate or sexual activities online. It is not appropriate for this assignment.

Part Two: The Report & Analysis

  • The report will not simply re-state the data provided in your log. Use the data generated in the internet log as a starting point for the analysis. Your analysis should look for patterns of usage.
  • Talk specifically about your activities online during the period of time for which you collected data. Do not speak in generalities: be specific. We are looking for your attention to details.
  • Make use of your notes in your report by being specific and providing examples.
  • You can write in the first person (you can say things like “I find that I” and “My analysis shows”)
  • You are graded on the thoroughness of your report. This includes analyzing the data, drawing conclusions from the data, and addressing how the data reflects your online practices as a consumer and/or producer
  • Your report will reflect on the questions and cover the points listed below. These questions/points are not to simply be restated. These are to be integrated into your analysis.

The report should adhere to the following, as it is expected to be planned and polished written work:

  • A strong report will be organized. You are to structure your report in four paragraphs (see below). The flow of the report should present a cohesive analysis to your reader.
  • Write clearly, integrate specific examples from your internet log, and adhere to proper spelling and grammar. These things all matter, and they will impact the grade you get.
  • Your report will have an introduction: it can be relatively brief, but it will introduce your reader to the scope of your report and capture the reader’s attention.
  • Your report will have a conclusion: it too can be relatively brief, but it will provide the reader with a succinct final account of your findings and your related overall impressions.
  • Watch that you are not providing a purely descriptive submission, be sure of critically analyzing your data as a researcher might.

A Guide to the Report

In general, think of the report as the narrative that emerges from your data. What story is your data telling about your activities online? What patterns of usage can you detect in your online activities? What do these activities suggest about your position as a consumer and/or a producer?

1. Introduction/Initial brief thoughts.(Paragraph 1)

Introduce your analysis and observations. An introduction is the roadmap for the rest of the paper. Offer an overview and some direction of what the report will discuss, and why it the discussion, or your key ‘take-away’ is significant.

2.Briefly Summarize your internet use over five days.(Paragraphs 2-3)

Possible questions to consider in your discussion (this doesn’t mean you will do all of this):

  • What do you do online?
  • What devices do you use to go online?
  • Is there a time of day when you are most active online? When is it and what are you doing?
  • Do you use certain type(s) of devices to go online at the same time each day?
  • Do your online activities vary according to your schedule for the day?
  • Do certain tasks or moods cause or influence you to access certain kinds of content?
  • What are potential or actual reasons for you choosing to use certain devices over others?
  • Do your online activities have you engaging in the production of user-generated content?

Please note: The summary portion of the report should demonstrate an active analysis of the data generated, and it should establish what is important. The summary can’t cover every entry in the log. This portion of the report makes sense of the data. It requires careful thinking with and reflection on the data generated. The entire report must be 750-1000 words long, so plan accordingly to fulfill this.

3. Analyze & discuss your role.(Paragraphs 4-5)

  • What do the larger patterns (as discussed in the summary of web use) reveal about your online activities? How do these shape you? As a media consumer? Producer? Both? Explain your reasoning by building on ideas in course material.
  • Watch that you are not providing a purely descriptive discussion, be sure of critically analyzing your data as a researcher might.
  • You must connect your discussion to course material and use the readings to support your analysis and assertions.

This section should be the focus of the report (rather than the summary section). Be sure that this section is not descriptive and opinion oriented. This is a critical thinking and analysis focus, and you need academic support when you make claims or arguments.

4.Conclusion/Overall impressions.

Short recap of the discussion. What are your conclusions based on the data you collected about your online activities? What’s the social-significance – bigger picture insights here? Connect to course material.

Report Structure

Use the following four-six paragraph structure to organize your report.

Paragraph 1: Brief introduction to capture reader’s attention (point 1. above)

Paragraphs 2-3: Summary of findings (point 2. above)

Paragraph 4-5: Discussion of role (point 3. above)

Paragraph 6: Concluding remarks with ‘Overall Impressions’ (point 4. above)

Important Notes:

  • Writing style, spelling, grammar, punctuation, and paragraph structure are part of the grading rubric.
  • Double space the report.
  • You are required to include three course readings (from any of the modules: M1/M2/M3) in support of your analysis and discussion.
  • Properly cite any readings that you use using APA. Include a reference list at the end of your document. In-text citations are included in the word count. The Reference list is not included in the word count.
  • Submissions that do not cite and/or reference material properly will not be accepted and will result in a zero.
  • You are required to stay within the minimum and maximum word count or you will be penalized a one mark.
  • Do not use any direct quotes in your module submissions. Instead, rephrase and cite properly, or you will be penalized one mark.
  • Please name your A1 file properly with course number, last name, and assignment name. For example: 2F00LastnameA1.doc
  • Your submission must be formatted correctly according to the instructions, which means that the orientation of your written discussion is in portrait and the chart is in landscape.

Explore this site for trends in population growth within countries and across the world.

Generate some Population Pyramid Graphs for at least four countries– at least two representing highly industrialized countries and at least two representing developing or deprived countries. Develop pyramids for three years: 1992, 2017, and 2042.

Pick two of your countries, including at least one industrialized and one developing or deprived country. Answer the following questions for BOTH of the countries you picked.

1) How is the population distributed among the different 5-year age classes? As time passes, how is the survival rate of different demographic groups contributing to the general increase or decrease in population size?

2) Keeping track of the years, are any external forces (wars, famine, migrations, improvements in education, etc.) evident in the expansion or contraction of that country’s population? Google information about those countries from the years represented in your demographic animation.

3) What will be the social and economic impacts of older demographic groups expanding?

On the Discussion Board Thread for this topic, use the information you collected from the above questions to write a brief summary of your two countries describing their growth trends and speculating on the forces that contribute to that past, present and future trend.

Tenth Writing Technique Reading and Exercise

For
this class you are working on a number of dimensions of good writing, one of
which is effectively writing with readers in mind. The book by Graff and
Birkensten, They Say, I Say,(hereafter
referred as “Graff”) is intended to learn structures for presenting ideas with
readers as the point of the writing. Therefore, every week you’ll be assigned
chapters to read and, following the reading, exercises to complete.

Below is the next activity.

Read Chapter Ten of Graff (pp 129-137).

Next,
refer to your research sources in your annotated bibliography. Write a
paragraph — one that will then appear in the body of your research paper
— that makes use of
TWO of the metacommentary templates
offered you on pages 135, 136 and 137.
Choose what’s most relevant for your own argument and paper. Exact words matter
less than capturing the sense of making metacommentary.

Of
course, be sure your paragraph uses correct
MLA style in-text citations.
