Beech, Anthony R, Leam A Craig and Kevin D Brown. 2009. ‘’A Community Residential Treatment Approach for Sexual Abusers’’, Assessment and Treatment of Sex Offenders: A Handbook. Eldridge, Hilary and Donald Findlater. 349-364. West Sussex, John Wiley & Sons Ltd. This chapter focuses on the Wolvercote Clinic, a positive treatment facility for high risk sex offenders to gain skills to assist them in their rehabilitation process and prepare them for life in the community. The authors acknowledge that it is essential for offenders to be taught skills in recognising and dealing with emotional and physical risk factors, managing feelings, developing social and positive thinking skills as well as sexual fantasy management. The authors argue that without the teaching of these skills in the facility, sexual offenders will find it challenging to reintegrate into the community which could lead to offence relapse. This chapter was useful in identifying key skills that sex offenders must obtain before being released into the community to heighten the chances of success and for that reason it could assist me in my role as a probation and parole officer in my scenario (nine). Brown, Kevin, Jon Spencer, Jo Deakin, 2007, ‘’The Reintegration of Sex Offenders: Barriers and Opportunities for Employment’’, The Howard Journal of Criminal Justice 46 (1) 32-42, accessed 10 March 2014, DOI: 10.1111/j.1468-2311.2007.00452.x This article focuses on the barriers faced by sex offenders, regarding employment, and the anxieties that employers experience when employing sex offenders.

It is noted that the majority of sex offenders interviewed feared their release and struggled to live in society once released. The authors argue that this is a result of simplistic reintegration planning that aimed to manage risk factors rather than promote rehabilitation. The authors acknowledge the need for reintegration processes to consider the requirements of offenders, victims and the community in order to be effective. This article was useful for showing the importance of comprehensive reintegration plans to make the outcome satisfying to the offender and the community and for that reason could assist me in my role as a probation and parole officer in scenario nine.

The Host Chapter 56: Welded

Ian glared down at the three of us with such fury that Sunny shivered in terror. It was an odd thing-as if Kyle and Ian had switched faces. Except Ian's face was still perfect, unbroken. Beautiful, even though it was enraged. â€Å"Ian?† Kyle asked, bewildered. â€Å"What's the problem?† Ian spoke from between his locked teeth. â€Å"Wanda,† he growled, and held his hand out. It looked as if he was having a hard time keeping that hand open, not clenching it into a fist. Uh-oh, Mel thought. Misery swept through me. I didn't want to say goodbye to Ian, and now I would have to. Of course I had to. I would be wrong to sneak out in the night like a thief and leave all my goodbyes to Melanie. Ian, tired of waiting, grabbed my arm and hauled me up from the floor. When Sunny seemed like she was coming along, too, still joined to my side, Ian shook me until she fell off. â€Å"What is with you?† Kyle demanded. Ian hauled his knee back and smashed his foot hard into Kyle's face. â€Å"Ian!† I protested. Sunny threw herself in front of Kyle-who was holding his hand to his nose and struggling to get to his feet-and tried to shield him with her tiny body. This knocked him off balance, back to the floor, and he groaned. â€Å"C'mon,† Ian snarled, dragging me away from them without a backward glance. â€Å"Ian -â€Å" He wrenched me roughly along, making it impossible for me to speak. That was fine. I had no idea what to say. I saw everyone's startled face flash by in a blur. I was worried he was going to upset the unnamed woman. She wasn't used to anger and violence. And then we jerked to a stop. Jared was blocking the exit. â€Å"Have you lost your mind, Ian?† he asked, shocked and outraged. â€Å"What are you doing to her?† â€Å"Did you know about this?† Ian shouted back, shoving me toward Jared and shaking me at him. Behind us, a whimper. He was scaring them. â€Å"You're going to hurt her!† â€Å"Do you know what she's planning?† Ian roared. Jared stared at Ian, his face suddenly closed off. He didn't answer. That was answer enough for Ian. Ian's fist struck Jared so fast that I missed the blow-I just felt the lurch in his body and saw Jared reel back into the dark hall. â€Å"Ian, stop,† I begged. â€Å"You stop,† he growled back at me. He yanked me through the arch into the tunnel, then pulled me north. I had to almost run to keep up with his longer stride. â€Å"O'Shea!† Jared shouted after us. â€Å"I'm going to hurt her?† Ian roared back over his shoulder, not breaking pace. â€Å"I am? You hypocritical swine!† There was nothing but silence and blackness behind us now. I stumbled in the dark, trying to keep up. It was then that I began to feel the throbbing from Ian's grip. His hand was tight as a tourniquet around my upper arm, his long fingers making the circle easily and then overlapping. My hand was going numb. He jerked me along faster, and my breath caught in a moan, almost a cry of pain. The sound made Ian stumble to a stop. His breathing was hoarse in the darkness. â€Å"Ian, Ian, I†¦Ã¢â‚¬  I choked, unable to finish. I didn't know what to say, picturing his furious face. His arms caught me up abruptly, yanking my feet out from under me and then catching my shoulders before I could fall. He started running forward again, carrying me now. His hands were not rough and angry like before; he cradled me against his chest. He ran right through the big plaza, ignoring the surprised and even suspicious faces. There was too much that was unfamiliar and uncomfortable going on in the caves right now. The humans here-Violetta, Geoffrey, Andy, Paige, Aaron, Brandt, and more I couldn't see well as we jolted past-were skittish. It disturbed them to see Ian running headlong through them, face twisted with rage, with me in his arms. And then they were behind us. He didn't pause until we reached the doors leaning against his and Kyle's room. He kicked the red one out of the way-it hit the stone floor with an echoing boom-and dropped me onto the mattress on the floor. Ian stood above me, his chest heaving with exertion and fury. For a second he turned away and put the door back in place with one swift wrench. And then he was glowering again. I took a deep breath and rolled up onto my knees, holding my hands out, palms up, wishing that some magic would appear in them. Something I could give him, something I could say. But my hands were empty. â€Å"You. Are. Not. Leaving. Me.† His eyes blazed-burning brighter than I had ever seen them, blue flames. â€Å"Ian,† I whispered. â€Å"You have to see that†¦ that I can't stay. You must see that.† â€Å"No!† he shouted at me. I cringed back, and, abruptly, Ian crumpled forward, falling to his knees, falling into me. He buried his head in my stomach, and his arms locked around my waist. He was shaking, shaking hard, and loud, desperate sobs were breaking out of his chest. â€Å"No, Ian, no,† I begged. This was so much worse than his anger. â€Å"Don't, please. Please, don't.† â€Å"Wanda,† he moaned. â€Å"Ian, please. Don't feel this way. Don't. I'm so sorry. Please.† I was crying, too, shaking, too, though that might have been him shaking me. â€Å"You can't leave.† â€Å"I have to, I have to,† I sobbed. And then we cried wordlessly for a long time. His tears dried before mine. Eventually, he straightened up and pulled me into his arms again. He waited until I was able to speak. â€Å"Sorry,† he whispered. â€Å"I was mean.† â€Å"No, no. I'm sorry. I should have told you, when you didn't guess. I just†¦ I couldn't. I didn't want to tell you-to hurt you-to hurt me. It was selfish.† â€Å"We need to talk about this, Wanda. It's not a done deal. It can't be.† â€Å"It is.† He shook his head, clenching his teeth. â€Å"How long? How long have you been planning this?† â€Å"Since the Seeker,† I whispered. He nodded, seeming to expect this answer. â€Å"And you thought that you had to give up your secret to save her. I can understand that. But that doesn't mean you have to go anywhere. Just because Doc knows now†¦ that doesn't mean anything. If I'd thought for one minute that it did, that one action equaled the other, I wouldn't have stood there and let you show him. No one is going to force you to lie down on his blasted gurney! I'll break his hands if he tries to touch you!† â€Å"Ian, please.† â€Å"They can't make you, Wanda! Do you hear me?† He was shouting again. â€Å"No one is making me. I didn't show Doc how to do the separation so that I could save the Seeker,† I whispered. â€Å"The Seeker's being here just made me have to decide†¦ faster. I did it to save Mel, Ian.† His nostrils flared, and he said nothing. â€Å"She's trapped in here, Ian. It's like a prison-worse than that; I can't even describe it. She's like a ghost. And I can free her. I can give her herself back.† â€Å"You deserve a life, too, Wanda. You deserve to stay.† â€Å"But I love her, Ian.† He closed his eyes, and his pale lips went dead white. â€Å"But I love you,† he whispered. â€Å"Doesn't that matter?† â€Å"Of course it matters. So much. Can't you see? That only makes it more†¦ necessary.† His eyes flashed open. â€Å"Is it so unbearable to have me love you? Is that it? I can keep my mouth shut, Wanda. I won't say it again. You can be with Jared, if that's what you want. Just stay.† â€Å"No, Ian!† I took his face between my hands-his skin felt hard, strained tight over the bones. â€Å"No. I-I love you, too. Me, the little silver worm in the back of her head. But my body doesn't love you. It can't love you. I can never love you in this body, Ian. It pulls me in two. It's unbearable.† I could have borne it. But watching him suffer because of my body's limitations? Not that. He closed his eyes again. His thick black lashes were wet with tears. I could see them glisten. Oh, go ahead, Mel sighed. Do whatever you need to. I'll†¦ step into the other room, she added dryly. Thanks. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled myself closer to him until my lips touched his. He curled his arms around me, pulling me tighter against his chest. Our lips moved together, fusing as if they would never divide, as if separation was not the inevitable thing it was, and I could taste the salt of our tears. His and mine. Something began to change. When Melanie's body touched Jared's body, it was like a wildfire-a fast burn that raced across the surface of the desert and consumed everything in its path. With Ian it was different, so very different, because Melanie didn't love him the way I did. So when he touched me, it was deeper and slower than the wildfire, like the flow of molten rock far beneath the surface of the earth. Too deep to feel the heat of it, but it moved inexorably, changing the very foundations of the world with its advance. My unwilling body was a fog between us-a thick curtain, but gauzy enough that I could see through it, could see what was happening. It changed me, not her. It was almost a metallurgical process deep inside the core of who I was, something that had already begun, was already nearly forged. But this long, unbroken kiss finished it, searing and sharp edged-it shoved this new creation, all hissing, into the cold water that made it hard and final. Unbreakable. And I started to cry again, realizing that it must be changing him, too, this man who was kind enough to be a soul but strong as only a human could be. He moved his lips to my eyes, but it was too late. It was done. â€Å"Don't cry, Wanda. Don't cry. You're staying with me.† â€Å"Eight full lives,† I whispered against his jaw, my voice breaking. â€Å"Eight full lives and I never found anyone I would stay on a planet for, anyone I would follow when they left. I never found a partner. Why now? Why you? You're not of my species. How can you be my partner?† â€Å"It's a strange universe,† he murmured. â€Å"It's not fair,† I complained, echoing Sunny's words. It wasn't fair. How could I find this, find love-now, in this eleventh hour-and have to leave it? Was it fair that my soul and body couldn't reconcile? Was it fair that I had to love Melanie, too? Was it fair that Ian would suffer? He deserved happiness if anyone did. It wasn't fair or right or even†¦ sane. How could I do this to him? â€Å"I love you,† I whispered. â€Å"Don't say that like you're saying goodbye.† But I had to. â€Å"I, the soul called Wanderer, love you, human Ian. And that will never change, no matter what I might become.† I worded it carefully, so that there would be no lie in my voice. â€Å"If I were a Dolphin or a Bear or a Flower, it wouldn't matter. I would always love you, always remember you. You will be my only partner.† His arms stiffened, then constricted tighter around me, and I could feel the anger in them again. It was hard to breathe. â€Å"You're not wandering off anywhere. You're staying here.† â€Å"Ian -â€Å" But his voice was brusque now-angry, but also businesslike. â€Å"This isn't just for me. You're a part of this community, and you aren't getting kicked out without discussion. You are far too important to us all-even to the ones who would never admit it. We need you.† â€Å"No one's kicking me out, Ian.† â€Å"No. Not even you yourself, Wanderer.† He kissed me again, his mouth rougher with the return of the anger. His hand curled into a fist around my hair, and he pulled my face an inch away from his. â€Å"Good or bad?† he demanded. â€Å"Good.† â€Å"That's what I thought.† And his voice was a growl. He kissed me again. His arms were so tight around my ribs, his mouth so fierce against mine, that I was soon dizzy and gasping for air. He loosened his arms a little then and let his lips slide to my ear. â€Å"Let's go.† â€Å"Where? Where are we going?† I wasn't going anywhere, I knew that. And yet how my heart pounded when I thought of going away, somewhere, anywhere, with Ian. My Ian. He was mine, the way Jared never would be. The way this body could never be his. â€Å"Don't give me any trouble about this, Wanderer. I'm half out of my mind.† He pulled us both to our feet. â€Å"Where?† I insisted. â€Å"You're going down the eastern tunnel, past the field, to the end.† â€Å"The game room?† â€Å"Yes. And then you are going to wait there until I get the rest of them.† â€Å"Why?† His words sounded crazy to me. Did he want to play a game? To ease the tension again? â€Å"Because this will be discussed. I'm calling a tribunal, Wanderer, and you are going to abide by our decision.†

Questions On The Internet Technology - 1837 Words

Assignment 2 Of ITC212 Internet Technology â€Å"Short Answer Questions† Submitted to: Louis Hourany Submitted By: Upama ARYAL 11603918 ITC 212 Thursday Email: cathrina32@gmail.com Answer 1: The IPv4 has run out of addresses due to the rapid growth of number of devices connected to internet every year. Thus, IPv6 is in needed. IPv6 uses 128 bit for providing space for addresses whereas IPV4 uses 32 bit addressing which results in IPv6 having a very large increase in the availability of IP addresses and creating a lot of advantages(Reddy et al., 2012).But the advantage of IPv6 over IPv4 is not limited to this point. There are many other points that prove that IPv6 has advantages over IPv4. Some of them are as follows: a) More Efficient Routing IPv6 makes routing more efficient and hierarchical by reducing the size of routing tables. With IPv6, it is possible for ISPs to aggregate the prefixes of their customer’s network into one prefix and announce this very prefix to the IPv6 internet. Also, in the IPv6 networks, source device handles the fragmentation instead of the router by making use of a protocol for discovery of the path’s maximum transmission unit (â€Å"Six Benefits of IPv6,† 2011). b) More Efficient Packet Processing IPv6 has simplified packet header which makes packet processing more efficient. Unlike IPv4, Ipv6 contains no IP-level checksum. Thus, recalculating checksum at each router hop is not needed. It was achievable due to the factShow MoreRelatedQuestions On Technology And The Internet1439 Words   |  6 PagesMarguerite Haddad Professor Goblinger CMAT 102 4 December 4, 2016 Final Paper As technology continues to grow and the internet expands, generations continue to be glued to their phones and computers.

Why is most of Coleridge’s best writing unfinished Essay

Why is most of Coleridge’s best writing unfinished? S. T. Coleridge is acknowledged by many as one of the leading poets and critics within the British Romantic movement. Famous for his philosophical approaches, Coleridge collaborated with other greats such as Southey and also Wordsworth, a union famous as being one of the most creatively significant relationships in English literature. Wordsworth’s lyrical style can be seen influencing many of Coleridges works, from Rime of the Ancient Mariner’ to the very famous ‘Tintern Abby’. Both expressed a poetic impression that created a landmark in English Romanticism. His work revealed that Coleridge was influenced by the natural and intrigued by the supernatural, yet the concerns†¦show more content†¦Coleridge wrote three poems in which he introduced the supernatural, revealed his faith and imagination and yet they remained unfinished, it is ironic that these are the poems that Coleridge is most famous for and that are so readily elected to represent his early style and beliefs. There was ‘The Wanderings of Cain’, a poem famous for it’s imaginative approach, simple in its presentation but effective. In 1816 the unfinished poems Christabel and Kubla Khan were published, comparisons between good and evil are portrayed so efficiently through the natural forces, visions and interpretations. Imagination and innovative ideas impressed the readers and yet, the poems remained unfinished. Why? Coleridge was born in 1772 and was the son of John Coleridge, a minister. This was probably why Coleridge was a man of faith, a man who valued nature in a similar way to Wordsworth. His poetry has an aim, to reveal to others how to love Gods creations and appreciate the world around them. He uses his natural appreciation and imagination to create influential works to reveal to others how he believed. William Hazlitt described the poem as a work of genius. As his works were straightforward in narration and yet suggested a mystery and surrealism unlike other poetry of the time. We see that within â€Å"Kubla Khan† written approximately 1797, although

The Legacy Of African Americans - 2320 Words

African Americans have endured many trials and tribulations over the centuries. Our people have suffered from war, violence, and anguish simply because of the color of our skin. Our history has been so blatantly missing from textbooks and the K-12th grade educational atmosphere. Our educational system continues to neglect the history of our African American ancestors and fail to provide them with the educational resources to inform them of our past and allow them to learn about the true origins of our culture. We have made many significant contributions to the world but those have also been highly ignored as well. We have produced marvelous pieces of art, dynamic architecture, discovered intelligent theories and ideas, even created significant clothing, jewelry and a multitude of other things. We possess a vast amount of talent that ranges from singers, dancers, writers, entertainers, musicians, poets, actors and actresses. One of my favorite pastimes is poetry. But in order to understand my passion for poetry we must first understand the origins of poetry, and learn about some of the notable African American poets of the past who have paved the way. There are many great African American artists that were very talented poets. Artists such as Langston Hughes, Countee Cullen, and Gwendolyn Bennett are just a few African Americans who had a momentous influence on writing and poetry in our culture.

ERP Information System in Business-Free-Samples for Students

Question: Discuss about the Impact of ERP Information System in Business. Answer: Brief statement of the problem This research will conduct an organization towards measurable success in terms of security, services and productivity. Information System (IS) is referred to as one of the most important tools that are needed to be implemented in the business organizations for developing its existing revenue model and economic benefit as well. Information System (IS) research framework could minimize the workplace issues. After analyzing the current state of an organization it has been found that, they are following a traditional data management approach which is not at all beneficial from the business aspect (Nour Mouakket, 2013). Apart from this, lack of security is another issue that rose in the business organization. For limited security the confidential data stored in server are getting hijacked by the external attackers. Research aim and objectives Aim The aim of the research is to implement ERP Information System (IS) in a business organization to mitigate the traditional data management issues and to improve the existing security approaches (Dwivedi, et al., 2015). With the help of investigation on IS development process, IS development methods the operational ad functional issues could be completely diminished. Objectives To implement ERP information system in a business organization To investigate on the role of ERP for increasing the security To improve the existing data management approach Brief methodology In order to combat the identified security and data management related issues it is necessary to implement ERP information system in the business organizations. For this particular research project positivism research philosophy is required to be adopted for exploring the hidden facts of security and data management (Ahmad Cuenca, 2013). The interpretivism and realism research approaches are avoided because these are not at all helpful for complex structures. On the other hand, for implementing ERP in the business organizations, deductive research approach should be selected to emphasize the research. Not only this but also among exploratory, explanatory and descriptive research design approaches, explanatory research design is required to be selected by the developers. For this particular research project a mixed data collection research process is required to be selected. The primary data collection deals with survey questionnaires (Shiang-Yen, Peng Idrus, 2014). Before implement ing IS in the business organizations, it is necessary to collect data from survey and for creative design and innovation; secondary data from books are journals are very much helpful. However, the nature of data is also very much important to be considered. For this particular research, both the qualitative and quantitative data are necessary to collect (Ann Sykes, 2015). In order to conduct the research successfully it is necessary to consider mixed data because both quality and quantity are important for this. Summary Nowadays, the world is becoming digitized and with the help of technology the business organizations are developing improving. In order to tackle massive work burden, Information system is required to be implemented in the enterprises, for security, services and productivity. For managing and processing data information system is very much helpful. Cloud based ERP provides enough data storage, data backup, application resilience and disaster recovery opportunity to the users. The identified research issues could be completely mitigated if ERP system is installed in the company. It will serve security to the organization and due to the security none of the external unauthorized user will be able to access data from the server. For this research, the suggested research philosophy is positivism the deductive research approach is being selected because it helps to describe most of the practical applications of theories. With the help of deductive research approach the researcher will be able to build specified concept of data analysis. Thus deductive approaches and mixed data collection processes are recommended to conduct the study. References Ahmad, M. M., Cuenca, R. P. (2013).

Teachers in the mediathe movie October Sky Essay Example For Students

Teachers in the mediathe movie October Sky Essay How about I believe in the unlucky ones? If I dont Id probably go crazy.(Laura Dern, October Sky) This could arguably be the most important line in the entire movie, in my opinion. This teacher recognizes the potential in every student, not only the ones with visible ability. This, I would hope, would be the goal of every teacher. Teachers have the greatest gift in the world the ability to help shape a students life. Recognized and appreciated he or she can use that to present a world of opportunities to those who may not have had any. This was true in October Sky; the Rocket Boys were from a small failing mining community, where little expectations were placed on them and even less opportunities were available. When Derns character was accused of giving the boys false hopes she held her grounds and continued to support the boys. This to me is an example of a great teacher, one who will continue to do what he or she thinks is right regardless of whether it earns her the disapproval of the rest of the staff. The movie October Sky gives a very positive representation of a teacher. She is a role model, a friend, a source of information, a defender, and a fighter.

This would seem to say that teachers need these qualities in order to fully relate to their students. A teacher can not only be there for informational needs, but must also stand behind her students and be prepared to defend their rights to discover themselves. A teacher should be prepared to recognize hidden potential; it is in almost every student. This is a difficult task, especially if the student also brings great adversity, however, it is not impossible; Derns character realized this. Every teacher will have a student in their classroom with hidden ability; despite the students possibility for greatness, the great teacher will be measured by her ability to see the potential inside that student.
