Project 7: Organization Security Plan
Choose an organization from the choices provided and prepare a security plan that provides security awareness policy using a security policy framework outline and according the Critical Infrastructure document which concentrates on the following integral keywords to cover the necessary elements of an organization security plan. These are: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover. The plan is a capstone of the work that you have accomplished in this course. You will use your outline to guide the outcome of the plan in addition to the keywords. The plan is an enterprise policy that includes the following considerations, analysis approach, and protections for the enterprise:
· Identify threats and vulnerabilities.
· Assign appropriate security controls to protect the infrastructure of the organization.
· Prepare vulnerability scans and effective risk management protocols to ensure protections remain current and effective and detect any issues.
· Initiate an incident response plan for responding to problems.
· Develop a business continuity and disaster recovery plan to recover from interruptions in business whether manmade or geographical.
This plan must be completed and submitted in MS Word format. Choose from one of the organizations below or request approval from your instructor via email for an alternate organization:
• Department of Defense
• Department of Homeland Security
• General Dynamics Information Technology
• JC Penney’s Corporate Office
• University of Maryland
• ITT Technical Institute
• United States Marine Corp
From the Critical Infrastructure document, align your organizational plan to reflect the intent of the document as follows from an excerpt taken from the document and ensure you read the document in its entirety:
“The Framework complements, and does not replace, an organization’s risk management and cybersecurity program. The organization can use its current processes and leverage the Framework to identify opportunities to strengthen and communicate its management of cybersecurity risk while aligning with industry practices. Alternatively, an organization without an existing cybersecurity program can use the Framework as a reference to establish one.
Just as the Framework is not industry-specific, the common taxonomy of standards, guidelines, and practices that it provides also is not country-specific. Organizations outside the United States may also use the Framework to strengthen their own cybersecurity efforts, and the Framework can contribute to developing a common language for international cooperation on critical infrastructure cybersecurity.”

The NIST
Cybersecurity
Framework:
Overview and
Potential Impacts
By Lei Shen
W
ith the recent and increasing number of high-
profile data breaches, businesses are becoming
increasingly concerned about cybersecurity. Such
data breaches have cost the affected companies
millions of dollars due to liability, lawsuits, reduced
earnings, decreased consumer trust, and falling stock
prices, while putting consumers at risk. Even though
the recent attacks have targeted consumer data, such
attacks may have even greater impact when targeted at
the nation’s critical infrastructure. The White House
acknowledged this when it issued Executive Order
13636,1 which required the National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST), a non-regulatory
agency of the Department of Commerce, to develop a
“cybersecurity framework” to help regulators and indus-
try participants identify and mitigate cyber risks that
potentially could affect national and economic security.
To develop the framework and gain an under-
standing of the current cybersecurity landscape, NIST
consulted hundreds of security professionals in the
industry. It held a number of workshops that were
attended by many participants from the private sec-
tor, and it reviewed numerous comments to the drafts
of the proposed framework that it posted for review.2
More than 3,000 individuals and organizations con-
tributed to the framework.3
On February 12, 2014, NIST released its final
cybersecurity framework, titled “Framework for
Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity”
(hereinafter Framework).4 Through the collaborative
public-private partnership, the resulting Framework
adopts industry standards and best practices to provide
a set of voluntary, risk-based measures that can be used
by organizations to address their cybersecurity risk.
Although the goal of the Framework is to better
protect critical infrastructure,5 such as banks and utili-
ties, from cyber attacks, the Framework is a flexible
and technology-neutral document that can be used by
organizations of any size, sophistication level, or degree
of cyber risk. Organizations can use the Framework as a
guideline to assess their existing cybersecurity program
or to build one from scratch, set goals for cybersecurity
that are in sync with their business environment, pri-
oritize opportunities for improvement, or establish a
plan for improving or maintaining their cybersecurity.
The Framework also is a valuable tool to help
executives understand their company’s security prac-
tices. Executives may use the Framework to see how
their company’s cybersecurity practices measure up
to the Framework’s standards, understand where the
company’s vulnerabilities lie, and determine if they
are doing enough.

criticized as being little more than a compilation of

Chapter 1
The International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium (ISC)2 Common Body of Knowledge (CBK) defines the key areas of knowledge for Information Security Gov- ernance and Risk Management in this way:
The Information Security Governance and Risk Management domain entails the identification of an organization’s information assets and the development, documentation, implementation and updating of policies, standards, procedures and guidelines that ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Management tools such as data classification, risk assessment, and risk analysis are used to identify the threats, classify assets, and to rate their vulnerabilities so that effective security measures and controls can be implemented.
The candidate is expected to understand the planning, organization, roles and responsibilities of individuals in identifying and securing an organization’s information assets; the development and use of policies stating management’s views and position on particular topics and the use of guidelines, standards, and procedures to support the policies; security training to make employ- ees aware of the importance of information security, its significance, and the specific security- related requirements relative to their position; the importance of confidentiality, proprietary and private information; third-party management and service level agreements related to infor- mation security; employment agreements; employee hiring and termination practices; and risk management practices and tools to identify, rate, and reduce the risk to specific resources.
Key areas of knowledge:
Understand and align security function to goals, mission, and objectives of the organization
Understand and apply security governance
Understand and apply concepts of confidentiality, integrity, and availability
Develop and implement security policy
Manage the information life cycle (e.g., classification, categorization, and ownership)
Manage third-party governance (e.g., on-site assessment, document exchange and review, process/policy review)
Understand and apply risk management concepts Manage personnel security Develop and manage security education, training, and awareness Manage the security function
Even though this domain is positioned as number 3 in the Certified Information Systems Secu- rity Professional (CISSP) common body of knowledge, it is placed first in this book because all security activities should take place as a result of security and risk management processes.
Organizational Purpose
In order to protect an organization’s assets, it is first necessary to understand several basic characteristics of the organization, including its goals, mission, and objectives. All of these are statements that define what the organization desires to achieve and how it will proceed to achieve them. These three terms are described in more detail as follows:

For our discussion question, we focus on recent trends in security t.pdfalokkesh
For our discussion question, we focus on recent trends in security technologies and security
operations. Staying current with various security tools is an important characteristic of a
proficient security manager. One method to discover new technologies is to attend security
related conferences and network with other security professionals about current and trending best
practices. For your discussion question, choose two relevant and recent physical security
technologies and describe them. As part of your detailed description, provide: 1) Specific
information about the technology\'s function and application; 2) The type of facilities that the
technology would be best suited for; 3) The assets that the technology would best be used to
protect; 4) The likely vulnerabilities that the technology would best address; 5) Methods in
which the technology would be integrated with other technologies; 6) The number and type of
personnel that will need to be committed to the operation of the technology; 7) Special
considerations for policies and procedures to fully implement the technology; and 8) A likely
budget needed to implement the technology. If you are impressed with a particular security
technology that your organization uses, share it. Include any relevant hyperlinks and attach any
pictures if applicable. Here are some security categories of technologies that you may select.
Please make sure your posting covers a specific technology rather than a broad category:
Intrusion Detection Screening Technologies Access Control Technologies
Assessment/Surveillance Technologies Communications Technologies Central Control
Technologies Security Lighting Make certain that you do not duplicate another student\'s
contribution. You can select a “different” technology from the same category.
Solution
Information Security management is a process of defining the security controls in order to
protect the information assets.
Security Program
The first action of a management program to implement information security is to have a
security program in place. Though some argue the first act would be to gain some real \"proof of
concept\" \"explainable thru display on the monitor screen\" security knowledge. Start with
maybe understanding where OS passwords are stored within the code inside a file within a
directory. If you don\'t understand Operating Systems at the root directory level maybe you
should seek out advice from somebody who does before even beginning to implement security
program management and objectives.
Security Program Objectives
Protect the company and its assets.
Manage Risks by Identifying assets, discovering threats and estimating the risk
Provide direction for security activities by framing of information security policies, procedures,
standards, guidelines and baselines

Cyber Security Program Realization in the Mid Market - Executive SummarySteve Leventhal
Mid-market firms comprise approximately one third of the US economy according to the U.S. Census Bureau. The purpose of this paper is to outline a logical, practical, and actionable approach to effective cyber security program realization in the mid-market ($100M - $3B in revenue).
The presentation defines cyber security, its importance, presents a Framework to address the threats. The framework consists of core, profile and tiers
To ensure security, it is important to build-in security in both the planning and the design phases and adapt a security architecture which makes sure that regular and security related tasks, are deployed correctly. Security requirements must be linked to the business goals. We identified four domains that affect security at an organization namely, organization governance, organizational culture, the architecture of the systems, and service management. In order to identify and explore the strength and weaknesses of particular organization’s security, a wide range model has been developed. This model is proposed as an information security maturity model (ISMM) and it is intended as a tool to evaluate the ability of organizations to meet the objectives of security.

Organizations achieve operational security through policies and
procedures that guide user’s interactions with data and data processing
systems. Developing and aligning these efforts with the goals of the business
is a crucial part of developing a successful security program. One method
of ensuring coverage is to align efforts with the operational security model
described in the last chapter. This breaks efforts into groups; prevention,
detection, and response elements.
Prevention technologies are designed to keep individuals from being able
to gain access to systems or data they are not authorized to use. Originally,
this was the sole approach to security. Eventually we learned that in an
operational environment, prevention is extremely difficult and relying
on prevention technologies alone is not sufficient. This led to the rise of
technologies to detect and respond to events that occur when prevention
fails. Together, the prevention technologies and the detection and response
technologies form the operational model for computer security.
In this chapter, you will learn
how to
■■ Identify various operational aspects
to security in your organization
■■ Identify various policies and
procedures in your organization
■■ Identify the security awareness and
training needs of an organization
■■ Understand the different types of
agreements employed in negotiating
security requirements
■■ Describe the physical security
components that can protect your
computers and network
■■ Identify environmental factors that
can affect security
■■ Identify factors that affect the
security of the growing number of
wireless technologies used for data
transmission
■■ Prevent disclosure through
electronic emanations
We will bankrupt ourselves in the
vain search for absolute security.

An important part of any organization’s approach to implementing security
are the policies, procedures, standards, and guidelines that are established
to detail what users and administrators should be doing to maintain the
security of the systems and network. Collectively, these documents provide
the guidance needed to determine how security will be implemented in
the organization. Given this guidance, the specific technology and security
mechanisms required can be planned for.

CHAPTER 5
Risk Response and Mitigation
In this chapter, you will:
• Learn about the risk response process
• Understand risk response options and how to align choices with business objectives
• Become familiar with risk response standards and frameworks
• Understand how risk appetite and tolerance affect risk response choices
• Understand risk response action plans and how they are developed
• Understand how controls are designed, implemented, and executed
• Develop better project management skills to more effectively execute risk response plans
• Learn methods to document and assess risk responses
• Determine how to best train personnel on risk responses
In this chapter, we will review the concepts that comprise Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC) Domain 3, which is focused on risk response and mitigation. There is a natural progression from the risk assessment discussions in previous chapters that covered CRISC Domains 1 and 2, to the discussion on risk response in this chapter; you will see that many of the outputs from those processes lead directly to this chapter because an organization generally wants a positive response to any risk assessment findings. After discussing how risk responses are chosen, we will discuss how to implement those risk responses, including how to design, develop, and adjust controls.
The CRISC exam objectives covered during this chapter include the following task statements:
• 3.1 Consult with risk owners to select and align recommended risk responses with business objectives and enable informed risk decisions
• 3.2 Consult with, or assist, risk owners on the development of risk action plans to ensure that the plans include key elements (e.g., response, cost, target date)
• 3.3 Consult on the design and implementation or adjustment of mitigating controls to ensure that the risk is managed to an acceptable level
• 3.4 Ensure that control ownership is assigned to establish clear lines of accountability
• 3.5 Assist control owners in developing control procedures and documentation to enable efficient and effective control execution
• 3.6 Update the risk register to reflect changes in risk and management’s risk response
• 3.7 Validate that risk responses have been executed according to the risk action plans
Risk Response
Every organization has risk. The leaders of smart organizations, however, have determined how they will deal with that risk appropriately for their business context. Will they accept all risks? Will they transfer some risks to a third party, such as an insurance company? These are some questions that need to be considered within the risk response process, discussed in this chapter.
We will also discuss the major risk frameworks within the field and how they incorporate risk response determination and implementation. Please note that risk is different for every organization; risk within an educational context is different from a financial context, which is differe ...

NURS 6050: Policy and Advocacy for Improving Population Health
Walden University
In 2010 The Affordable Care Act (ACA) was enacted; the hope was to expand access to medical care, make coverage more affordable, and decrease the number of people without medical insurance. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) expanded and improved health insurance coverage in two primary ways. First, the number of individuals receiving insurance coverage grown by increasing access to coverage through Medicaid expansion and providing subsidies to purchase private insurance on the health care exchanges. Second, the ACA upgraded the quality and scope of coverage by improving benefit design, including implementing the essential health benefits (Willison & Singer, 2017). People who did not have coverage through their employer or Medicaid were required to purchase insurance through the Marketplace. The Marketplace was created as a one-stop-shop for people to view multiple plans and purchase insurance. Just because you have access to health care insurance does not mean you are going to receive quality health care (Teitelbaum, 2018).
Both parties have asked that the ACA be repealed or replaced for multiple reasons. Every Republican presidential candidate for 2016 has called for the repeal of the ACA. Some, but not all, Republican candidates have proposed health policies that they would like to put in place after repeal, but there is no broad agreement on a replacement for the ACA (Buettgens & Blumberg, 2016). The federal government would spend $90.9 billion less on health care for the nonelderly in 2021 if the ACA were repealed (Buettgens & Blumberg, 2016). State governments as a whole would spend $5.2 billion more on health care for the nonelderly in 2021 if the ACA were repealed (Buettgens & Blumberg, 2016). Healthcare is a priority to many Americans for obvious reasons; it was more costly for those with preexisting conditions before the ACA to obtain Medical Insurance. With the ACA the income guidelines for Medicaid where changed so additional people qualified that didn’t prior. As a Behavioral Health Nurse, I am a fan of anyone and everyone having access to Healthcare Services. I have seen to many times my patient not have the money for their medications because insurance was canceled so they go off their medications, they become unstable and ended up in the Emergency Department and admitted Inpatient, costing more money, hurting themselves and their loved ones.
Politicians are aware that election time is the best time to play the tug of war game with the heavy ticket items to capture someone votes. Republicans ran hard on promises to get rid of the law in every election since it passed in 2010. But when the GOP finally got control of the House, the Senate and the White House in 2017, Republicans found
they could not reach agreement
on how to "repeal and replace" the law (Kaiser Health News, 2018). And political strategists s.

Discussion Board Week 1-Original Post
11/30/2020
I have worked in an outpatient behavioral health clinic for the past seven years with many different providers. I live in a rural community, many patients wait six to twelve months to be seen. Patients being treated for Attention Deficit Disorder must be officially tested before being seen by a Psychologist. For this discussion board post, I have changed the name of my patient to Paul to ensure patient confidentially. The provider I worked with this particular patient will also be referred to as PMHNP to ensure provider confidentiality.
Paul was a ten-year-old Caucasian male referred to our clinic diagnosed per DSM criteria, confirmed via Psychologist testing with ADHD. When he saw the Psychologist, he was also diagnosed with mild depression and anxiety. He struggled with concentration, hyperactivity, impulse control, and disorganization. He presented to his appointment with his mother and father, clean, well-nourished, pleasant, interactive with staff, reported no medication allergies, current medication Zyrtec for seasonal allergies. Paul just had his well-child exam and is current on vaccinations and his primary care provider completed lab work to include CBC, CMP, TSH, Vit D, B12, and A1C, all have returned normal. Family history reported father has a history of ADHD (never medicated), brother has a history of depression and anxiety (never medicated treating with psychotherapy), no other significant family history to report. Paul’s current weight at his appointment was 30kg.
PMHNP spent one hour with Paul and his parents for the initial new patient appointment (Thursday). It was decided Paul would be prescribed Strattera (atomoxetine) 40mg once a day for one week then increase to 80mg once a day. I returned to work on Monday and received a call from Paul’s mom, she said he was acting strange. He was tearful, had been in his room with the door closed for most of the weekend, she stated on Sunday she went into his room and he was crying and said he was just thinking about dying and his parents dying. She stated he had already had his meds Sunday so she kept him with her that entire day and made Sunday night a campout night in the Livingroom so he would think it was fun and she could keep a close eye on him. I had a cancelation that morning for him to come to see PMHNP and he was in to see her within twenty minutes and removed from Strattera. His parents decided medications were no longer the route they wanted to try for treatment and a referral was made for psychotherapy.
The only medication Paul takes on occasion is Zyrtec which is in an antihistamine drug class, Strattera is a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor; there is no known drug interaction between the two medications. Reflecting on his age and the medication, Strattera has a black box labeled for suicidal ideation with adolescents dia.

For our discussion question, we focus on recent trends in security technologies and security
operations. Staying current with various security tools is an important characteristic of a
proficient security manager. One method to discover new technologies is to attend security
related conferences and network with other security professionals about current and trending best
practices. For your discussion question, choose two relevant and recent physical security
technologies and describe them. As part of your detailed description, provide: 1) Specific
information about the technology\'s function and application; 2) The type of facilities that the
technology would be best suited for; 3) The assets that the technology would best be used to
protect; 4) The likely vulnerabilities that the technology would best address; 5) Methods in
which the technology would be integrated with other technologies; 6) The number and type of
personnel that will need to be committed to the operation of the technology; 7) Special
considerations for policies and procedures to fully implement the technology; and 8) A likely
budget needed to implement the technology. If you are impressed with a particular security
technology that your organization uses, share it. Include any relevant hyperlinks and attach any
pictures if applicable. Here are some security categories of technologies that you may select.
Please make sure your posting covers a specific technology rather than a broad category:
Intrusion Detection Screening Technologies Access Control Technologies
Assessment/Surveillance Technologies Communications Technologies Central Control
Technologies Security Lighting Make certain that you do not duplicate another student\'s
contribution. You can select a “different” technology from the same category.
Solution
Information Security management is a process of defining the security controls in order to
protect the information assets.
Security Program
The first action of a management program to implement information security is to have a
security program in place. Though some argue the first act would be to gain some real \"proof of
concept\" \"explainable thru display on the monitor screen\" security knowledge. Start with
maybe understanding where OS passwords are stored within the code inside a file within a
directory. If you don\'t understand Operating Systems at the root directory level maybe you
should seek out advice from somebody who does before even beginning to implement security

Cyber Security Program Realization in the Mid Market - Executive SummarySteve Leventhal
Mid-market firms comprise approximately one third of the US economy according to the U.S. Census Bureau. The purpose of this paper is to outline a logical, practical, and actionable approach to effective cyber security program realization in the mid-market ($100M - $3B in revenue).
The presentation defines cyber security, its importance, presents a Framework to address the threats. The framework consists of core, profile and tiers
To ensure security, it is important to build-in security in both the planning and the design phases and adapt a security architecture which makes sure that regular and security related tasks, are deployed correctly. Security requirements must be linked to the business goals. We identified four domains that affect security at an organization namely, organization governance, organizational culture, the architecture of the systems, and service management. In order to identify and explore the strength and weaknesses of particular organization’s security, a wide range model has been developed. This model is proposed as an information security maturity model (ISMM) and it is intended as a tool to evaluate the ability of organizations to meet the objectives of security.

Organizations achieve operational security through policies and
procedures that guide user’s interactions with data and data processing
systems. Developing and aligning these efforts with the goals of the business
is a crucial part of developing a successful security program. One method
of ensuring coverage is to align efforts with the operational security model
described in the last chapter. This breaks efforts into groups; prevention,
detection, and response elements.
Prevention technologies are designed to keep individuals from being able
to gain access to systems or data they are not authorized to use. Originally,
this was the sole approach to security. Eventually we learned that in an
operational environment, prevention is extremely difficult and relying
on prevention technologies alone is not sufficient. This led to the rise of
technologies to detect and respond to events that occur when prevention
fails. Together, the prevention technologies and the detection and response
technologies form the operational model for computer security.
In this chapter, you will learn
how to
■■ Identify various operational aspects
to security in your organization
■■ Identify various policies and
procedures in your organization
■■ Identify the security awareness and
training needs of an organization
■■ Understand the different types of
agreements employed in negotiating
security requirements
■■ Describe the physical security
components that can protect your
computers and network
■■ Identify environmental factors that
can affect security

CHAPTER 5
Risk Response and Mitigation
In this chapter, you will:
• Learn about the risk response process
• Understand risk response options and how to align choices with business objectives
• Become familiar with risk response standards and frameworks
• Understand how risk appetite and tolerance affect risk response choices
• Understand risk response action plans and how they are developed
• Understand how controls are designed, implemented, and executed
• Develop better project management skills to more effectively execute risk response plans
• Learn methods to document and assess risk responses
• Determine how to best train personnel on risk responses
In this chapter, we will review the concepts that comprise Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC) Domain 3, which is focused on risk response and mitigation. There is a natural progression from the risk assessment discussions in previous chapters that covered CRISC Domains 1 and 2, to the discussion on risk response in this chapter; you will see that many of the outputs from those processes lead directly to this chapter because an organization generally wants a positive response to any risk assessment findings. After discussing how risk responses are chosen, we will discuss how to implement those risk responses, including how to design, develop, and adjust controls.
The CRISC exam objectives covered during this chapter include the following task statements:
• 3.1 Consult with risk owners to select and align recommended risk responses with business objectives and enable informed risk decisions
• 3.2 Consult with, or assist, risk owners on the development of risk action plans to ensure that the plans include key elements (e.g., response, cost, target date)
• 3.3 Consult on the design and implementation or adjustment of mitigating controls to ensure that the risk is managed to an acceptable level
• 3.4 Ensure that control ownership is assigned to establish clear lines of accountability
• 3.5 Assist control owners in developing control procedures and documentation to enable efficient and effective control execution
• 3.6 Update the risk register to reflect changes in risk and management’s risk response
• 3.7 Validate that risk responses have been executed according to the risk action plans
Risk Response
Every organization has risk. The leaders of smart organizations, however, have determined how they will deal with that risk appropriately for their business context. Will they accept all risks? Will they transfer some risks to a third party, such as an insurance company? These are some questions that need to be considered within the risk response process, discussed in this chapter.
We will also discuss the major risk frameworks within the field and how they incorporate risk response determination and implementation. Please note that risk is different for every organization; risk within an educational context is different from a financial context, which is differe ...

NURS 6050: Policy and Advocacy for Improving Population Health
Walden University
In 2010 The Affordable Care Act (ACA) was enacted; the hope was to expand access to medical care, make coverage more affordable, and decrease the number of people without medical insurance. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) expanded and improved health insurance coverage in two primary ways. First, the number of individuals receiving insurance coverage grown by increasing access to coverage through Medicaid expansion and providing subsidies to purchase private insurance on the health care exchanges. Second, the ACA upgraded the quality and scope of coverage by improving benefit design, including implementing the essential health benefits (Willison & Singer, 2017). People who did not have coverage through their employer or Medicaid were required to purchase insurance through the Marketplace. The Marketplace was created as a one-stop-shop for people to view multiple plans and purchase insurance. Just because you have access to health care insurance does not mean you are going to receive quality health care (Teitelbaum, 2018).
Both parties have asked that the ACA be repealed or replaced for multiple reasons. Every Republican presidential candidate for 2016 has called for the repeal of the ACA. Some, but not all, Republican candidates have proposed health policies that they would like to put in place after repeal, but there is no broad agreement on a replacement for the ACA (Buettgens & Blumberg, 2016). The federal government would spend $90.9 billion less on health care for the nonelderly in 2021 if the ACA were repealed (Buettgens & Blumberg, 2016). State governments as a whole would spend $5.2 billion more on health care for the nonelderly in 2021 if the ACA were repealed (Buettgens & Blumberg, 2016). Healthcare is a priority to many Americans for obvious reasons; it was more costly for those with preexisting conditions before the ACA to obtain Medical Insurance. With the ACA the income guidelines for Medicaid where changed so additional people qualified that didn’t prior. As a Behavioral Health Nurse, I am a fan of anyone and everyone having access to Healthcare Services. I have seen to many times my patient not have the money for their medications because insurance was canceled so they go off their medications, they become unstable and ended up in the Emergency Department and admitted Inpatient, costing more money, hurting themselves and their loved ones.
Politicians are aware that election time is the best time to play the tug of war game with the heavy ticket items to capture someone votes. Republicans ran hard on promises to get rid of the law in every election since it passed in 2010. But when the GOP finally got control of the House, the Senate and the White House in 2017, Republicans found
they could not reach agreement
on how to "repeal and replace" the law (Kaiser Health News, 2018). And political strategists s.

Discussion Board Week 1-Original Post
11/30/2020
I have worked in an outpatient behavioral health clinic for the past seven years with many different providers. I live in a rural community, many patients wait six to twelve months to be seen. Patients being treated for Attention Deficit Disorder must be officially tested before being seen by a Psychologist. For this discussion board post, I have changed the name of my patient to Paul to ensure patient confidentially. The provider I worked with this particular patient will also be referred to as PMHNP to ensure provider confidentiality.
Paul was a ten-year-old Caucasian male referred to our clinic diagnosed per DSM criteria, confirmed via Psychologist testing with ADHD. When he saw the Psychologist, he was also diagnosed with mild depression and anxiety. He struggled with concentration, hyperactivity, impulse control, and disorganization. He presented to his appointment with his mother and father, clean, well-nourished, pleasant, interactive with staff, reported no medication allergies, current medication Zyrtec for seasonal allergies. Paul just had his well-child exam and is current on vaccinations and his primary care provider completed lab work to include CBC, CMP, TSH, Vit D, B12, and A1C, all have returned normal. Family history reported father has a history of ADHD (never medicated), brother has a history of depression and anxiety (never medicated treating with psychotherapy), no other significant family history to report. Paul’s current weight at his appointment was 30kg.
PMHNP spent one hour with Paul and his parents for the initial new patient appointment (Thursday). It was decided Paul would be prescribed Strattera (atomoxetine) 40mg once a day for one week then increase to 80mg once a day. I returned to work on Monday and received a call from Paul’s mom, she said he was acting strange. He was tearful, had been in his room with the door closed for most of the weekend, she stated on Sunday she went into his room and he was crying and said he was just thinking about dying and his parents dying. She stated he had already had his meds Sunday so she kept him with her that entire day and made Sunday night a campout night in the Livingroom so he would think it was fun and she could keep a close eye on him. I had a cancelation that morning for him to come to see PMHNP and he was in to see her within twenty minutes and removed from Strattera. His parents decided medications were no longer the route they wanted to try for treatment and a referral was made for psychotherapy.
The only medication Paul takes on occasion is Zyrtec which is in an antihistamine drug class, Strattera is a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor; there is no known drug interaction between the two medications. Reflecting on his age and the medication, Strattera has a black box labeled for suicidal ideation with adolescents dia.

Week 6
COLLAPSE
My own attitude has changed from lack of understanding to enlightenment over the years. In elementary school I never experienced students with disabilities in my classrooms, growing up. But as the years went on and legislation changed students with disabilities started trickling into general education classrooms. They were always ignored by other students and often times had an aide to assist them with assignments. As an adult my heart has opened up to accept all types of people. In the Pennhurst documentary, it was reiterated, they are just people (Baldini, 1968). Which is my outlook on how to treat everyone. Every single person is a human being, treat them the way you wish to be treated. Everyone no matter their race, disability or socio-economic status deserves to be treated humanely.
As an educator I have worked with several different types of students. Students from low socio-economic areas, behavioral issues, vision impairments, hearing impairments, with autism, hyper activity and down syndrome, and with all of these students I have given them my best effort to show them that they are students first. Slavin and Schunk (2017) said it best, “Each student has many characteristics, and the disability is only one of them. To define the child in terms of the disability does him or her an injustice” (p. 235). It is our role as an educator to incorporate different learning styles to give each student, regardless of disabilities, the education that they deserve.
Welcoming students with disabilities into my classroom will be an important aspect in my role as an educator. Allowing each student to feel love and acceptance by peers is important for any students success. Van Brummelen (2009) states, “ It is important to appreciate students with special needs for who they are. Always look beyond their disabilities and teach them as whole persons” (p. 208). Being an advocate for my students with learning disabilities will garner them respect and dignity that they need to be self sufficient. In the Pennhurst documentary, the children did not have complete proper advocacy from the people that worked with them. They were simply shuffled along and not given the proper education and care that they needed to be self-sufficient (Baldini, 1968). “Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and oppressed. Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked” (Psalm 82:3-4, New International Version). It is our Godly duty to defend individuals who can not defend themselves. In His eyes we are all created equal and in that we all deserve equal treatment and opportunities.

Measurement of the angle θ
For better understanding I am showing you a different particle track diagram bellow. Where at
point C particle 𝜋 − 𝑎𝑛𝑑 Σ− are created and the Σ− decays into 𝜋 ∓ 𝑎𝑛𝑑 K− particles
The angle θ between the π− and Σ− momentum vectors can be determined by drawing tangents
to the π− and Σ− tracks at the point of the Σ− decay. We can then measure the angle between
the tangents using a protractor. Alternative method which does not require a protractor is also
possible. Let AC and BC be the tangents to the π− and Σ− tracks respectively. Drop a
perpendicular (AB) and measure the distances AB and BC. The ratio AB/BC gives the tangent of
the angle180◦−θ. It should be noted that only some of the time will the angle θ exceed 90◦ as
shown here.
Determining the uncertainty of Measurements
In part B, It is asked to estimate the uncertainty of your measurements of 𝜃 and r.
Uncertainty of measurement is the doubt that exists about the result of any measurement. You
might think that well-made rulers, clocks and thermometers should be trustworthy, and give
the right answers. But for every measurement - even the most careful - there is always a margin
of doubt.
It is important not to confuse the terms ‘error’ and ‘uncertainty’.
Error is the difference between the measured value and the ‘true value’ of the thing being
measured.
Uncertainty is a quantification of the doubt about the measurement result
Since there is always a margin of doubt about any measurement, we need to ask ‘How big is the
margin?’ and ‘How bad is the doubt?’ Thus, two numbers are really needed in order to quantify
an uncertainty. One is the width of the margin, or interval. The other is a confidence level, and
states how sure we are that the ‘true value’ is within that margin.
You can increase the amount of information you get from your measurements by taking a
number of readings and carrying out some basic statistical calculations. The two most
important statistical calculations are to find the average or arithmetic mean, and the standard
deviation for a set of numbers.
The ‘true’ value for the standard deviation can only be found from a very large (infinite) set of
readings. From a moderate number of values, only an estimate of the standard deviation can be
found. The symbol s is usually used for the estimated standard deviation.
Suppose you have a set of n readings. Start by finding the average:
For the set of readings x={16, 19, 18, 16, 17, 19, 20, 15, 17 and 13}, the average is �̅� =

Then 𝑠 = √

-based, Short-term, Pastoral Counseling (SbStPC) process. Noticeably support each core assertion.
Rapport and Relational Alignment.
Briefly discuss how you will continue to build rapport and shift your relational style in order to best align with the careseeker’s style (i.e., use DISC language) and current behavioral position (i.e., attending, blaming, or willing).
Phase Two Distinctive Features.
Narrate movement of careseeker through Phase Two’s distinctive features (i.e., purpose, goal, chief aim, role/responsibility, use of guiding assumptions) and apply pertinent insights and techniques from ALL the readings, previous assignments, and the Bible.
Supportive Feedback Break.
What portrait, definition(s), key thought(s), and/or assessment insight from the
Quick Reference Guide
might be utilized in the supportive feedback technique?
Phase Two Marker.
Describe a marker that indicates you have collaboratively ‘imagineered” a picture of life without the problem. In what way does this marker indicate the careseeker is in a willing position and ready for Phase Three?
Food for Thought:
When learning a new people skill or counseling technique, is it normal to “feel” awkward and fake? Use at least 1 example and thoughtfully explain how this “feeling” might be normalized.
TIPS:
Carefully Follow Meaning-Making Forum Guidelines & Tips!
Make sure to use headings (5) so that the most inattentive reader may easily follow your thoughts.
Use the annotated outline approach. Bullets should have concise, complete, well-developed sentences or paragraphs.
Foster a “noble-minded” climate for investigating claims through well-supported core assertions (i.e., consider the validation pattern of the Bereans; Acts 17:11).
Noticeably support assertions to facilitate further investigation and to avoid the appearance of plagiarism.
Since you have the required materials (e.g.,
Masterpiece)
, abridge any related citations (Nichols, p. 12) and do not list the required source in a References’ section.
Secondary sources must follow current APA guidelines for citations and References.
Make every effort to prove that you care about the subject matter by proofreading to eliminate grammar and spelling distractions.

Project Title: Michael Joseph Place, The place to be
Project Start Date: 25/7/2018
Projected Finish Date: 25/12/2018
Budget Information: $ 4,500.00
Project Manager: Student name,[email protected], 210- 105 - 6676
Business Need
The project manager will be hosting an evening lounge event that will be targeting the clientele to an upscale lounge to be built in downtown. Through such an event the city will have a positive exposure.
There will be need for effective marketing, music, modern décor and most likely investors. The menu for food and drinks will need to be within budget. The venue needs to have amiable space and adequate seats for all guests.
The first step to this project involves coming up with a plan on a piece of paper. Once this is done the next step will involve selection of vendors to various goods and services. Once everything has been put to perspective the next stage will be to involve investors who will include local business owners. These investors will be encouraged to do so with the exchange for them to market and advertise their products at the event. We will have three packages for investors including Silver, Gold and Platinum packages.
Project Objectives
The proposal is to have a social entertainment evening lounge in Chicago. The project managers will be showcasing the new concept of entertainment by holding a series of events known as “The Place to be!”
· The events will be used to showcase the atmosphere that the new lounge will be offering
· The events will offer the professional audiences an opportunity to network while at the same time being entertained.
· The events will be targeting an audience of 150 attendants
· To have an environment where attendants can dance, dine and drink socially while discussing business.
Approach
This project will be managed in accordance with the PMI approach as modified.
Assumptions/Constraints/Dependencies
The assumption is that with the provision of an exquisite and upscale venue that is mature in Chicago, IL, will be successful due to the fact that there is no such a venue within a 100 mile radius.
One of the likely constraint is finding a venue that grabs attention of the targeted crowd.
The success of these events depends on attracting two sets of individuals. One of them is investors and the other is private professionals who will attend a social event at night.
Initial Risk Factors
· Obtaining a liquor license on time for the event is the major risk factor.
· Failure of attendees despite investing money and time is another risk.
· Failing to complete the organizational plans within 30 days before the event series begin.
· Not attracting any viable investors
Regulatory cost/impact
One of the needed licensing is from the city council where I will be required to get a special event license. This will enable us to have alcohol i.

Mediation
Name
AMU
Date
Mediation
Recently, I had a dispute with a friend based on sharing of roles and duties at work. If I were to use a mediation to solve the conflict I would have used facilitative mediation instead of evaluative mediation. Facilitative mediation refers to the types of solving conflicts where the mediator creates a process to assist the parties in reaching into a mutual agreement. Evaluative mediation on the other hand refers to the type of mediation where the judge helps the parties in reaching into a resolution through using the weakness of the case (Shrout & Bolger, 2017). The nature of the dispute plays a very huge role when choosing the type of mediation style to use. Since some cases can not fit well or makes it hard to find a solution when using a certain mediation style. For instance work related disputes and family related disputes require mediation that won’t seem to favor one party.
I would use transformative mediation, since it is mostly bases on improving the personal power of each party (Folberg & Taylor, 2016). Also transformative mediation mainly helps in creating a sense of understanding between the two parties through communication so as to solve the dispute. And lastly the reason why I would use the mediation is because; the process that is used does not favor one party. During the process, the mediator listens to both parties and from this he or she is able to help in making the two understand each other and be able to come into a mutual agreement.

Question 1
A set of beliefs, norms and values that is shared by a group, culture is a systemic sense that can create a common commitment to an organization’s mission. With identifying markers that extend beyond the individual, it can be represented in a fabric of shared themes and feelings. Whether displayed in forms of dress, symbols, verbal phrases or typical behaviors, its permeance can be silent in its mode of action, yet quite visible to internal and external stakeholders (Daft, 2018).
Serving two fundamental and critical functions, the culture of an organization can be a catalyst in uniting members in how they relate to one another within the organization and how the members follow the same process in relation to the outside environment (Daft, 2018). However, although it is often associated with ethical decision making (Kara, Rojas-Mendez & Turan), the element of inequality can create fear and discourse if an unrealistic and bias culture themes are dictated, thus resulting in disagreement or conflict with management. Therefore, the perception of stakeholders or groups of interest regarding the cultural practices of the organization may not be entirely correct (Gonzalez-Rodriguez, Diaz-Fernández & Biagio, 2019).
Directly related to the perception of the value system of the organization and its management, the acceptable cultural differences that shape the internal behavior of members can have an impact in external relationships (Gonzalez-Rodriguez, Diaz-Fernández & Biagio, 2019). However, as Daft (2018) noted, a mechanistic or controlling system may block any organic input,.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

• University of Maryland
• ITT Technical Institute
• United States Marine Corp
From the Critical Infrastructure document, align your
2. organizational plan to reflect the intent of the document as
follows from an excerpt taken from the document and ensure
you read the document in its entirety:
“The Framework complements, and does not replace, an
organization’s risk management and cybersecurity program. The
organization can use its current processes and leverage the
Framework to identify opportunities to strengthen and
communicate its management of cybersecurity risk while
aligning with industry practices. Alternatively, an organization
without an existing cybersecurity program can use the
Framework as a reference to establish one.
Just as the Framework is not industry-specific, the common
taxonomy of standards, guidelines, and practices that it provides
also is not country-specific. Organizations outside the United
States may also use the Framework to strengthen their own
cybersecurity efforts, and the Framework can contribute to
developing a common language for international cooperation on
critical infrastructure cybersecurity.”
1.1 Overview of the Framework
The Framework is a risk-based approach to managing
cybersecurity risk, and is composed of three parts: the
Framework Core, the Framework Implementation Tiers, and the
Framework Profiles. Each Framework component reinforces the
connection between business drivers and cybersecurity
activities. These components are explained below.
• The Framework Core is a set of cybersecurity activities,
desired outcomes, and applicable references that are common
across critical infrastructure sectors. The Core presents industry
standards, guidelines, and practices in a manner that allows for
communication of cybersecurity activities and outcomes across
the organization from the executive level to the
implementation/operations level. The Framework Core consists
of five concurrent and continuous Functions—Identify, Protect,
Detect, Respond, Recover. When considered together, these
Functions provide a high-level, strategic view of the lifecycle of
an organization’s management of cybersecurity risk. The
3. Framework Core then identifies underlying key Categories and
Subcategories for each Function, and matches them with
example Informative References such as existing standards,
guidelines, and practices for each Subcategory.
· Framework Implementation Tiers (“Tiers”) provide context on
how an organization
views cybersecurity risk and the processes in place to manage
that risk. Tiers describe the degree to which an organization’s
cybersecurity risk management practices exhibit the
characteristics defined in the Framework (e.g., risk and threat
aware, repeatable, and adaptive). The Tiers characterize an
organization’s practices over a range, from Partial (Tier 1) to
Adaptive (Tier 4). These Tiers reflect a progression from
informal, reactive responses to approaches that are agile and
risk-informed. During the Tier selection process, an
organization should consider its current risk management
practices, threat environment, legal and regulatory
requirements, business/mission objectives, and organizational
constraints.
A Framework Profile (“Profile”) represents the outcomes based
on business needs that an organization has selected from the
Framework Categories and Subcategories. The Profile can be
characterized as the alignment of standards, guidelines, and
practices to the Framework Core in a particular implementation
scenario. Profiles can be used to identify opportunities for
improving cybersecurity posture by comparing a “Current”
Profile (the “as is” state) with a “Target” Profile (the “to be”
state). To develop a Profile, an organization can review all of
the Categories and Subcategories and, based on business drivers
and a risk assessment, determine which are most important; they
can add Categories and Subcategories as needed to address the
organization’s risks. The Current Profile can then be used to
support prioritization and measurement of progress toward the
Target Profile, while factoring in other business needs including
4. cost-effectiveness and innovation. Profiles can be used to
conduct self-assessments and communicate within an
organization or between organizations.
1.2 Risk Management and the Cybersecurity Framework
Risk management is the ongoing process of identifying,
assessing, and responding to risk. To manage risk, organizations
should understand the likelihood that an event will occur and
the resulting impact. With this information, organizations can
determine the acceptable level of risk for delivery of services
and can express this as their risk tolerance.
With an understanding of risk tolerance, organizations can
prioritize cybersecurity activities, enabling organizations to
make informed decisions about cybersecurity expenditures.
Implementation of risk management programs offers
organizations the ability to quantify and communicate
adjustments to their cybersecurity programs. Organizations may
choose to handle risk in different ways, including mitigating the
risk, transferring the risk, avoiding the risk, or accepting the
risk, depending on the potential impact to the delivery of
critical services.
The Framework uses risk management processes to enable
organizations to inform and prioritize decisions regarding
cybersecurity. It supports recurring risk assessments and
validation of business drivers to help organizations select target
states for cybersecurity activities that reflect desired outcomes.
Thus, the Framework gives organizations the ability to
dynamically select and direct improvement in cybersecurity risk
management for the IT and ICS environments.”
Your organization plan must be a comprehensive approach
identifying the framework for enabling organizations to
establish cybersecurity policy in the enterprise. Submit to your
assignment folder by the due date assigned in your syllabus
schedule.
