Task 2

Intelligence and the USA PATRIOT Act

The Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (USA PATRIOT Act, or simply the Patriot Act) has generated a great deal of controversy since its enactment just weeks after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Critics argue that the Act was passed opportunistically and hastily after September 11, that it is too broad, and that some of its provisions go too far. Proponents of the Act, on the other hand, are concerned that it does not go far enough; however, its provisions have greatly enhanced information sharing in the law enforcement and intelligence communities.

You are an intelligence analyst for the Department of Homeland Security assigned to the Office of Intelligence and Analysis (DHS-OIA). As an intelligence analyst in the intelligence community, you participate in a law enforcement and intelligence working group. The working group consists of analysts and officers throughout the U.S. intelligence and law enforcement communities who meet monthly to discuss various topics relevant to homeland security. During a recent meeting, the topic of the Patriot Act came up for discussion and debate. As the representative from DHS-OIA, you were asked by your law enforcement peers for your opinion, from an intelligence community perspective, on the Patriot Act and whether or not you felt it has enhanced information sharing between the communities.

Primary Task Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write 400–600 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas:

  • Do you feel that the Act has enhanced information sharing between the U.S. law enforcement and intelligence communities? Why or why not?
    • Specifically, what advantages or disadvantages has each individual community experienced? Explain.
  • Does the Patriot Act infringe on American citizens’ constitutional rights? Why or why not?
    • Some feel that the Act is too broad, with little to no oversight. Do you agree? Why or why not?
  • What effects do you think repealing or significantly modifying the Patriot Act would have on information sharing between the U.S. intelligence and law enforcement communities? Explain.

Task 3

You are an intelligence analyst for the Department of Homeland Security assigned to the Office of Intelligence and Analysis (DHS-OIA). You have been asked by a local law enforcement agency to come and speak to its newly established law enforcement intelligence unit to provide a briefing on the U.S. Intelligence Community’s (USIC) intelligence process. Specifically, you have been asked to discuss in detail the similarities and differences (compare and contrast) between the USIC intelligence cycle and the law enforcement investigative process.

Assignment Guidelines

  • For this assignment, you must prepare a briefing in written form consisting of 2-3 pages. Your briefing should be designed for a law enforcement audience and should address the following:
    • In your own words, provide a definition of the U.S. intelligence cycle.
    • In your own words, provide a brief explanation of the purpose of the U.S. intelligence cycle.
    • What is the overall purpose of the law enforcement investigative process? Explain.
    • What are the steps of the law enforcement investigative process? Explain.
    • How does the U.S. intelligence cycle compare with the law enforcement investigative process?
      • How is the U.S. intelligence cycle similar to the law enforcement investigative process? Explain.
      • How is the U.S. intelligence cycle different from the law enforcement investigative process? Explain.
  • Compile your responses in the final briefing, and submit the file to your instructor.
  • Be sure to reference all sources using APA style.

Process Analysis(explanatory)

/in /by

the topic of the Process Analysis is Omani sweets called halwa.

this info may help you know some information about Omani sweets(halwa).

How to Make Omani Halwa

Omani halwa is a new halwa that I tried making yesterday. Once a month, I try out a sweet recipe. Since everyone in my family have a sweet tooth, whatever I make is finished off immediately. I had my first taste of Omani halwa when I went to Oman to visit my sister. I had a chance to visit the Muscat Festival, the world renowned Annual Fair. The fair was a wonderful experience and I had a lovely time, especially my kids who had great fun. It was there that I happened to know about Omani food and tasted the enticing Omani halwa made of tapioca starch and black Omani halwa made of dates. Though I have been having the recipe all this while, it was only yesterday that I thought of it. Here is the recipe for Omani halwa with corn starch. If you don’t have corn starch, you can use corn flour. I have also added plenty of nuts to make the halwa rich and special.

Recipe for Omani halwa

Ingredients:

  • Tapioca starch: 2 cups
  • Water: 1 ½ cups
  • Sugar: 4 cups
  • Water: 4 cups
  • Red food coloring: ½ tsp
  • Saffron strands: few
  • Ghee: ½ cup
  • Rose essence: 1 tsp/ Rose water: 2 tbsp
  • Cardamom powder: ½ tsp
  • Nutmeg powder: ½ tsp
  • Toasted sesame seeds: 1 tbsp
  • Cashew nuts: 20
  • Pista flakes: 20
  • Almonds: 20

Preparation:

  • Add 1 ½ cups of water to the tapioca starch. Add the food color. Mix well so that there are no lumps.
  • Blanch and sliver the almonds.
  • Heat 2 tbsp of ghee in a non stick pan. Add the cashew nuts and slivered almonds and roast for a few seconds. Remove from pan and keep aside.
  • Make sugar syrup by mixing sugar with 4 cups of water. Boil the mixture until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Method:

  • Keep the sugar syrup on the stove and heat it.
  • Add the tapioca starch and stir and cook on reduced flame.
  • Add the nutmeg powder, cardamom powder and saffron.
  • Keep on stirring the halwa until the halwa starts leaving the sides of the pan.
  • Continue stirring and keep adding little by little as you keep stirring until you use all the ghee. Stirring will become difficult and your hand will pain, but don’t stop. You will certainly forget the pain and difficult when the halwa is made and you taste it.
  • The halwa will form a lump.
  • Add the rose essence/rose water and sesame seeds and mix well.
  • Continue to cook and stir for 2 minutes.
  • Add the roasted cashew nuts and almond strips and mix well.
  • Switch off the flame and garnish with pista flakes.
  • Enjoy the halwa hot in a bowl if you don’t have the patience to wait for it to cool.
  • You can also cut it into pieces. For this you have to grease a tray with 2 tbsp of ghee (before garnishing the halwa with pistachio flakes). Spread the halwa evenly on the tray using a spatula. Now garnish with pistachio flakes. Allow the halwa to cool and cut into desired pieces and enjoy the delicious mouthwatering Omani halwa.

Assignment

The purpose of writing a process analysis is to tell OR share with others how something is done, how something is made or how something works. Keeping this in mind, write a process analysis on a topic you know quite well and is manageable. Do not select a subject that is too big to handle. For example, you may want to write about how to assemble a Boeing 747, but it won’t be manageable because there is too much information to include, which is beyond the nature and scope of this assignment.

Your process analysis MUST contain the following elements:

Introductory Paragraph

Your introductory paragraph should introduce the topic to your readers such as by telling them where and when you learned about the procedure. It should also explain why the process you are going to describe matters to you and why your readers should be interested in learning about it. After reading your introductory paragraph, your readers should be able to understand why you wanted to tell them about the procedure and what they are going to learn from reading your process analysis.

Body Paragraph(s)

The body paragraphs of your process analysis should explain each step in detail using descriptive words and vivid language. All steps involving the procedure should be woven together into an essayic format using transitional words and/or connectives such as “here,” “now,” “next,” “then,” “before that,” “afterward,” “while,” “equally important,” “finally,” etc.

Remember there are two types of process analysis: i) directive and ii) explanatory. In a directive process analysis, you list all the steps involved in making, doing, or performing something, whereas in an explanatory process analysis you provide a detailed description of how something is made, done, or performed. Your process analysis should be written in an explanatory format. If you structure it in a directive format (as shown below), you will receive zero points for the assignment.

Step I: Bring a piece of lumber from the barn.

Step II: Soak it in gasoline, etc.

Conclusion

The conclusion of your process analysis should give a sense of closure. Also, it should leave your readers with a feeling that the time they spent on reading your essay was worth it.

    Class,I personally find electronic charting less time consuming, however, I often worry about staff who might click through the different areas without doing a true evaluation of the patient. I think this is especially likely to happen when the day has been extremely hectic and/or chaotic and the shift is close to ending. While I think paper charting will become more and more obsolete, I wonder if there is a way to ensure electronic charting is done as thoroughly as it needs to be. Do any of you have the same experiences or thoughts?In addition to the questions above, please answer the question below:1. What are your greatest challenges in the use of informatics and technology in your practice?Thank you in advance for all your hard work – I’m looking forward to reading your posts about this particular topic!Mary Ann Reply

performance art

/in /by

Performance art performances You will perform five performance art performances during the semester. Each of these performances will happen in class. Each of these performances will have two required components: (1) your performance and (2) a write-up of your performance which needs to be submitted in class in hard form before you perform. Each performance art performance also needs to have a title and make a thoughtful point about communication and the class material at hand. For each of the performance art performances, perform for the class a rehearsed, original, in-person performance that is 30-60 seconds in length. For expediency, these performances should not have external audio, video, or projector needs. This performance is to be an original creation by you. Don’t recite something someone else said or wrote. This piece should also involve you in a performative manner. Don’t give a standard speech or presentation. For each of these assignments, a lack of performance will not be considered a performance. It is vital that we maintain our good sense for these performances. Do not violate campus regulations and policies or any laws. Do not harm property. Do not disrupt others outside of our class or classmates as they perform. Do not be hostile or menacing toward anyone. Do not put anyone in harm’s way. Be a good audience member. For each of the five write-ups, submit in class in hard form before you perform a write-up detailing your performance. Specifically, each write-up should provide: (1) the title of your performance and why you chose that title, (2) a description of what you’re doing and how you prepared to do it, (3) an explanation for why what you’re doing in class should be considered performance art, and (4) an explanation of the thoughtful point that your performance is making about communication and/or theory. Each write-up’s length is 500 words. An accurate word count must be placed at the top of the first page of your paper. Failure to have an accurate word count at the very top of the first page of your paper will result in a failing grade. Your paper needs to be typed and single-spaced. Your paper should use Times New Roman 12 pin font and standard margins. In MS Word, use either the Normal or the No Spacing style (upper right on Home tab) and then change your font to Times New Roman 12 pin/size (upper left on Home tab). Please do not space between paragraphs. Indent paragraphs. All you need at the top of your paper is your name and, as stated above, an accurate word count (found in the lower left in MS Word), and then you should begin your first paragraph. Each write-up should be written in academic prose and, likewise, be polished and precise as well as adequately developed and supported. Paragraphs should begin with a bold claim or thesis statement (i.e., a declarative sentence that encapsulates what the paragraph is about) that is then supported by the rest of the paragraph. When a new bold claim is made, a new paragraph should begin. Use the APA format to cite in-the-text-of-your-paper all outside source material, including the textbook and the supplemental readings. Include a proper works cited page. The works cited page should NOT be counted in the word count for your paper. Spell and grammar check (F7 in MS Word). If you are unable to make it to class on the day of a performance art performance, you can have someone else drop off your write-up about your performance art by noon that same day in the Communication Department (Morgan 206) for partial credit. Your write-up will receive up to 15 of the 20 points for your first drop off and up to 10 of the 20 points for your second drop off. No points will be given to a third and subsequent drop off. I do not accept course assignments via email. Late work is never accepted. Make-up work is never offered. Like the performance art performance, the write-up is to be an original work by you. Do not recycle work or writing from another class. Avoid plagiarism as well. Such behavior constitutes academic dishonesty. Academic dishonesty will be treated very seriously. See the section Academic dishonesty for further clarification as well as for guidance in avoiding plagiaris
