Assignment 2: Personality Disorders—Fact or Fiction? Personality disorders are chronic and persistent behavioral and emotional disturbances that are often difficult to treat. Some professionals argue that these disorders are not mental disorders at all, but personality styles—that these individuals are just odd or unusual. Review your text book and a minimum of two peer reviewed references and develop an argument for or against the inclusion of personality disorders as a diagnostic category in the next version of the DSM. Be sure to support your position with relevant research on the causation, diagnosis, and treatment of personality disorders. Develop your position into a 2-3-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources and include a cover page and reference page. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M4_A2.doc.  By Wednesday, October 22, 2014, deliver your assignment to the M4: Assignment 2 Dropbox. Assignment 2 Grading Criteria Maximum Points Developed a persuasive argument for or against the inclusion of personality disorders as a diagnostic category. 40 Discussed the causation, diagnosis, and treatment of personality disorders in support of the position chosen. 20 Supported statements with reasons and research information from your text and a minimum of two peer reviewed references. 20 Wrote in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrated ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources; displayed accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation. 20 Total: 100 Looking Ahead Keep in mind that early in Module 5 the final piece of your course project is due. In this 4-5 page paper you will integrate the material you received in your interview/field research on your disorder of choice.

Using the TCP echo server and client discussed in the previous assignment, write client and server programs to implement a simple client-server authentication system. You will be able to implement and test both the client and server programs on a single machine by running them on different ports with the same Internet Protocol (IP) address.

 

Your program must take care of the following:

 

• At the client end, provide a menu such as: If a user selects Register, get the login ID and password from the user and contact the server with the information required for registration. The server maintains a file with a list of client login IDs and associated passwords. The server updates this file with the registration information provided by the new user.
  • Register
  • Authenticate yourself

 

• If a user selects Authenticate yourself, get the login ID and password from the user. Send this information to the server for authentication. The server authenticates the user by performing a password lookup and sending a “Client Authenticated” or “Client Not Authenticated” message. This is required to implement the JOIN feature in your distributed library implementation.

Continue with the Microsoft Word document from Project Part 3—Handling Concurrent Clients and add your client and server programs to it. Include client and server window screenshots for successful and unsuccessful authentication attempts.

 

Grading Criteria:

 

** Added to the Microsoft Word document the client and server programs, including the client-server authentication program such that at the client-end, a menu displayed the two choices: Register and Authenticate yourself

 

**  Addressed the user registration requirements in the programs; it included the requirements to update the file with a list of client login IDs and passwords with the registration information provided by the new user.

 

** Addressed the user authentication requirements in the program, and appropriately sent a “Client Authenticated” or “Client Not Authenticated” message

 

**  Cited all sources using APA format. Include an abstract, use correct spelling, grammar, and professional vocabulary.

Course Project

The Course Project is due in Week 7. You will be preparing a comparative analysis between the U.S. healthcare system and that of another country of your choice. Requirements for the paper include 6–10 pages in length and strict APA formatting. This week, research what country you wish to choose for your Course Project in order to write your comparative analysis of its healthcare system against the United States’. Make sure that you are able to find adequate references for your project (i.e., a minimum of three scholarly or primary source references). Then, in Week 2, you will enter your chosen country’s name into the Week 2 Dropbox for your instructor’s approval. In Week 5, you will be submitting your outline. There are no deliverables this week for the Course Project; however, you will want to begin your research immediately. See the Course Project page under Course Home for more details.

hi i would like u to read the following paragraph and write one page about the subject below:

Note: refrences are included.

 

Concept: Creative Destruction

 

Topic: Iphone

 

Creative Destruction is the economic process where a new development replaces some prior development. The technological development of the iPhone has impacted various other devices that came before it, such as: cameras, mp3 players, books, maps and etc. With the invention of the iPhone it made other technologies unnecessary because the iPhone can single handedly complete all of the other jobs that the other devices do. Through our research our group is going to be focusing on the effects of creative destruction in the technological economy focusing on the iPhone. We will explain in depth how past technology declines as new technology arrives in the world. While researching, we have found information about creative destruction, technology over the years, as well as statistics. The amount of sales and profits that iPhone has received these past few years, and how the sales for cameras has decreased.
