In 1995 Jack Dempsey was convicted for setting fire to a Cleveland, Ohio building. Firefighters found Mr. Dempsey unconscious in the basement of the building as it burned. Police charged him with arson and he served more than six years in prison. However, his conviction has been overturned and he has been awarded more than $300,000 in damages.

Be sure to use scholarly and professional sources to support your assertions. Cite your sources throughout the body of your work and list your references at the end of your initial post: Based on the chapter reading and the provided case history, analyze commonly accepted forensic techniques and contemporary specialized techniques regarding fire/arson investigation focusing on whether or not they were used in this case and how that use, or failure to use, influenced the investigation. Discuss why you think police believed Mr. Dempsey set fire to the building? Briefly define cognitive bias then discuss what role cognitive bias may play in classifying a fire as an arson. Discuss some motives for committing arson including the most common. Based on what you read in the news story, did it appear that Mr. Dempsey had any motive to set the building on fire? Evaluate accepted methodologies employed in contemporary crime scene management and how these methodologies were or were not employed in this investigation. Generally speaking, what are the challenges for CSIs with determining whether a fire scene is actually arson or simply an accident?

Mechanical Engineering assignment
A solid wheel is being rolled toward the right along a horizontal surface by a force whose line of action is horizontal. The diameter of the wheel is 2.5 ft, the wheel weighs 80 lb, and the magnitude of the force is 15 lb. If the friction force is sufficient to prevent slipping of the wheel on the supporting surface, the magnitude of the linear acceleration of the center of gravity would be A. 3.22 fps per sec. C. 5.15 fps per sec. B. 4.03 fps per sec. D. 6.44 fps per sec.

As a small-business owner, you are faced with rising costs, particularly employment costs, insurance, et cetera. So, you decide to hire some friends and pay them as they work, rather than go through the expense and procedure of bringing in “actual” employees. Your friends wear the business uniform, deal with vendors and customers, and tell friends and family that they work for the business. One friend/employee orders way too much from a vendor. The vendor has dealt with the person numerous times; in fact, the person has been ordering from the vendor for months. Since the person who ordered was not an ”employee,” but a friend you hired, are you liable to pay for the improper order? Discuss the implications of agency that apply in this situation, and describe at least one (1) way the company may be able to cancel or return the order in question. Be sure to support your legal analysis with concepts and definitions from the reading

Identifying Truth or Fiction
Identifying Truth or Fiction” Please respond to the following:
The video clip ‘The Baloney Detection Kit’ in the Web text this week discusses the many ways in which an effective critical thinker assesses the claims made by others. Explain what you believe is the real difference between ‘science’ and ‘pseudoscience’. Examine the key reasons why so many people might seem to be attracted to more pseudoscience-type claims. Describe at least two (2) such claims that you have heard people make, and analyze the main reasons why such claims do or do not meet rigorous scientific methodology standards. Determine at least two (2) ways in which the material discussed this week has changed your own thinking.

Quality of Service
“Quality of Service” Please respond to the following: Your design team presents a project to you, in which most inputs seem to have about a 1.5-second delay before a response. The lead designer has decided this response is acceptable. Analyze response-time models and decide if the response time in the presented project is acceptable. Explain why it is or is not. Evaluate the importance quality of service has to designers. Choose two areas discussed in the textbook you would focus your attention to ensure quality of service for a team of designers that you were managing. Justify your choices.
