You are an intern working with a state crime scene investigation team that has statewide jurisdiction and gets called in by county and municipal authorities for crime scene analysis and laboratory support. A number of larger cities in the state have their own crime scene units. Because crime scene investigators (CSI) get called into court to testify as expert witnesses, your unit has a lot of opportunities to testify in court. The state you live and work in has assumed the Federal Rules of Evidence rule 702 as their own for expert witness testimony. They also have the Frye Standard (something that is common in many states). You will be presenting a paper to the State Division of the International Association for Identification Conference in the capital next week. You will be presenting a paper on the topic of the admissibility of expert witness testimony in court.There are a number of evidence related resources that are not found in academic journals that may be utilized as references in this assignment. It is critical that when you make a statement of fact in your presentation that you cite the reference you obtained the information from in the text of the paper and that the reference is included in your reference page. As always your paper will be submitted in the APA format current edition. No abstract is required as this is a short position paper but a title page, reference page, and appropriate running header with page numbers are necessary.

In general terms, an analysis essay breaks down a text (a letter, speech, ad, video, painting, billboard, etc.) into its constituent parts (language choice, metaphors, images, colors, tone of voice, use of examples/evidence, shapes, etc.), analyzes these parts, and uses them to better understand the text\’s reflection of, and effect on, its audiences. A rhetorical analysis—the type being assigned to you—does the same sort of work, taking into consideration the specific rhetorical situation (the call to write) the text responds to and the rhetorical concepts that you learned about in chapter 2 of An effective rhetorical analysis brings to light some feature or features of a text, calling attention to details that other readers might not notice or know how to interpret. An analysis project asks you to think deeply and carefully, moving beyond what is self-evident about a text in order to probe, ask questions, and look for explanations that will help you understand it in a more robust way than you would have previously. Usually, analysis projects encourage you to do this deep thinking with the help of some particular perspective. For this assignment, you will use a rhetorical perspective to guide your analysis of a text of your choosing. The rhetorical concepts covered in this lesson are tools that you can use to examine your text closely.A rhetorical analysis examines and explains how an author (or artist) responds to a specific call to write. That is, rhetorical analyses use specific evidence from a written, verbal, or visual text (such as a letter, speech, advertisement, video, painting, billboard, etc.) to establish a generalization (thesis) about the text\’s rhetoric (in short, how it persuades, educates, or moves its audience by employing rhetorical appeals, using good reasons, responding to the situation at hand, etc.).As you plan and draft your analysis, consider your classmates as your audience: a group of people who are also learning how to conduct rhetorical analysis. Your goal will be to help them better understand and appreciate the text you have chosen by demonstrating how it responds to a particular call to write.The first step in this assignment is to choose a text for analysis. You will want to find a written, visual, or oral text (a piece of writing or other composed object, like those listed above) you find interesting—one that strikes you as being clever, engaging, surprising, creative, or edgy. You may choose a contemporary or historical text, one that is well-known or relatively obscure. The text should have a purpose that you can identify fairly easily: to persuade, educate, entertain, etc. Here are some additional considerations: Your analysis should explain how a text works rhetorically for a specific purpose and as part of a rhetorical situation.As you begin your analysis, you will want to ask yourself questions such as the following:If you are analyzing a visual text, also consider the following:Page 53 of the textbook provides one strategy for organizing the sections of your analysis. This list is helpful, but resist the urge to use this strategy as a simple template (creating a paragraph for each section). Instead, focus on developing your essay into three general sections:Chapter 4 in the textbook and Lesson 5 in the course commentary will provide you with additional guidance in arranging your essay. Please note: throughout the body of your essay, you should use specific examples from your chosen text to support your claims.

The papershould be about 200 words and APA format

Now that you have successfully researched pricing models, estimation techniques, and the time value of money, the next step is to develop controls that can be applied to manage costs. Write a paper that will diagram and analyze cost control in the project environment. Include in your analysis an investigation of the operating cycle, budgets, and the earned value measurement system. Provide specific examples as to how you would implement these techniques within your project plan. Also include recommendations on how one should address possible cost overrun dilemma for your project. (The information you will be developing for this week will be utilized in your signature assignment. Review cost controls, schedule variances, earned value techniques, and budgeting.) Support your report with a minimum of three (3) external resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including older articles, may be included. Length: 6 pages not including title and reference pages  Your report should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards where appropriate.

Exegesis PaperYou will complete an exegesis of a passage from the New Testament (employing methods ofinterpretation and perspectives, such as literary and historical context, literary form, and structure).Exegesis means to expound upon a text, to unpack a text of its many meanings.

The paper shouldbe 2000-3000 words in length and follow MLA style.Select one of the following passages as the basis for your exegesis: Matthew 6:9-13 Matthew 17:1-13 Luke 9:28-36 Luke 11:2-4Follow the outline below and answer the questions in each section using recommended sources. Keepthe outline headings below as the subheadings of your exegesis.1. Literary Criticisma. Context: What follows and precedes your passage? Are your pages affected by this context?b. Form criticism: What is the literary form of your passage? Are there other places in the Bible(or related text) where this form is used and which help to interpret this passage?c. Structure: Do you detect any particular structural pattern (e.g., parallelism within yourassigned book of the Bible)? Describe the parts of your passage.d. Redaction criticism: Has your passage come through an editorial process? What changeshave been made? Explain why certain changes have been made.e. Key words: What are the theologically important words in the passage? Do these wordsevoke any other parts of the Bible? Are these words used in a new way by the author of thispassage? What do these words mean?2. Theological Analysisa. What does this passage say about the relationship with God?b. What questions might this passage have addressed in the community for which it wasoriginally written?[Some of the ideas above are adopted from A Guide to Biblical Exegesis by G. Landes and W. Wink(unpublished.)]You should document your paper carefully. More than three consecutive words used by another authorneed to be documented as direct quotation (as block quote or with quotation marks). Both paraphraseand direct quotation need to be cited. The purpose of such documentation is to enable the reader to findyour source with ease. Failure to document adequately will earn the score of zero on the paper. Keep theuse of quotation to a minimum. More than half of a paper consisting of quotation is unacceptable.Be sure to use some material from the bibliography in the course Doc Sharing area for your exegesis,especially the biblical reference books. Below are some hints for successfully completing the paper:1. Look up your passage in the New Testament.42. Consult a general commentary (such as The Jerome Biblical Commentary, The New JeromeBiblical Commentary, or The Collegeville Bible Commentary).3. Consult specific commentaries (see the course bibliography in Doc Sharing, e.g., Harrington’sMatthew’s Gospel, Fitzmyer’s The Gospel According to Luke).4. Conduct a periodical search (through EBSCO) of your passage, limiting search to full-text, peerreviewedjournals.Use the checklist below to ensure that you are following the format properly:1. Are all ideas documented (including page numbers)?2. Are all quotations documented (including page numbers)?3. Is there a works cited page?4. Do the notes and bibliography include sources recommended by the syllabus?5. Does the format include the headings from the syllabus?6. Does each sentence make sense?7. Does the “form” section clearly name a literary form?8. Does the redaction section contrast the assigned passage with Mark’s version (except for infancynarrative and Lord’s Prayer)?9. Does the key word section include more than one key word?10. Does the key word section refer to Old Testament material?A
