SCI 100 Question Development Worksheet Jeimy Jimenez Answer the following questions. Your instructor will use these answers to evaluate the critical elements for Project 2. 1. Why did you select your news story? I selected the news story because I thought it was interesting 2. What about the story makes it interesting to you both personally and scientifically? Personally, I thought it was interesting to read on how big Tobacco owners have tried to manipulate information for consumers. Scientifically I thought it was interesting to learn on what the effects of smoking and second hand smoking have on people 3. What did you already know about the topic before selecting the news story? What opinions or assumptions had you made about it? I already know that smoking was bad for you and that second-hand smoking is just as bad. I also knew that tobacco owners have tried ways to manipulate the public to keep their interests with Tabaco products 4. Which concepts covered in the course relate to your news story? I don’t any concepts relate to my news story except for research my story has to do with space and the ninth planet 5. What question do you have about the topic in the news story? How many hours of second hand smoke would a person need to experience in a lifetime before contracting some kind of cardiovascular disease 6. Why would this question be important to a natural scientist? It would be the study humans SCI 100 Project 3 Guidelines and Rubric Overview There are three projects for this course. In Project 1, you began your exploration of a natural science topic by selecting a news story and completing a topic exploration graphic organizer. In Project 2, you continued your analysis of the news story and the natural science topic and ultimately developed a question that, as a natural scientist, you would like to study. In Project 3, you will develop a presentation that discusses why your question is important and the value of studying the natural sciences. Project 3 will assess the following course outcomes, which you will focus on throughout Themes 3 and 4: Investigate major developments in the natural sciences for informing critical questions that drive scientific inquiry Articulate the value of the natural sciences for their impact on contemporary issues Prompt Using the question that you posed in Project 2, explain why the answer is important for understanding yourself, other people, and the world around you. In addition, you will discuss how the natural sciences have developed to help us answer these important questions. Your presentation should include speaker notes so that your instructor knows what you would be saying if you were actually giving the presentation. The critical elements of this project will be evaluated by the information in your presentation. Be sure your actual question is apparent in the presentation. Specifically, the following critical elements must b.

HIS 100 Project 3 Multimedia Presentation Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
“If you want to understand today, you have to search yesterday.”
—Pearl Buck
Your final longer-term project in this course is to complete a multimedia presentation. The work you did on the Topic Exploration Worksheet in Module Two and
the historical context and introduction in Module Six will directly support your work on this project.
One of the prime benefits of studying history is that it allows us to learn about who we are and where we came from. The people and events of the past can
often shed light on the conditions and social norms of the present. Having historical awareness can inform various aspects of your life as well as future
aspirations. Learning from past failures and successes can shape ideals and values for years to come.
This final longer-term project is designed to help you understand the fundamental processes and value of studying history. In the first project, you completed
the Topic Exploration Worksheet on one of the topics or themes from the library guide. You investigated the types of research you might need to do to learn
more about the topic and developed research questions. In Project 2, you used this worksheet to complete a research plan and introduction. You selected one of
your research questions and did some secondary-source research, speculated on primary source needs, and used the information to write the introduction and
thesis statement for a possible research paper.
In this third project, you will create a multimedia presentation that explores both major developments in historical inquiry and the value of examining history.
This assessment addresses the following course outcomes:
Investigate major developments in the progression of historical inquiry for informing critical questions related to historical narrative
Articulate the value of examining historical events for their impact on contemporary issues
1
Prompt
Now that you have done some research with primary and secondary sources (using sources from the library guide for your chosen topic) and written an
introduction for a possible history paper, you will turn your attention to thinking about the creation and value of historical inquiry. You will use the research you
have done throughout this course, as well as course materials, to inform your thoughts. To present your opinions and observations, you will create a multimedia
presentation (using a presentation tool such as PowerPoint or Prezi) that addresses the following critical elements. While these questions may seem “big,”
remember that you are addressing them in a presentation, not a paper, and can use bullet points, visuals, or other methods. These critical elements will be
evaluated from the information you provide in your multimedia presentation. Note: If using Prezi, be sure to include a Word document with notes. If using
PowerPoint, be sure to use the speaker ...

IDS 400 Milestone Four Guidelines and Rubric
Analyzing an Issue or Event in Diversity Through the Lenses of the Natural and Applied Sciences and the Social Sciences
Overview: For the first part of your final project, the critical analysis portfolio, you will select an issue or event in diversity and critically analyze it through the
four general education lenses: history, humanities, natural and applied sciences, and social sciences. By viewing the issue or event through these lenses, you will
gain insight into how the intersectional nature of diversity affects society as well as both your own individual framework of perception and the choices, attitudes,
and behaviors of others in the world around you.
For this fourth milestone, due in Module Six, you will analyze your issue/event in diversity through the lenses of the natural and applied sciences and the social
sciences. Like Milestone Two, this task provides you with an opportunity to dive deeper into your analysis of the issue/event through these two lenses. This will
provide you with a chance to practice analyzing your issue/event through these lenses and receive feedback on this practice attempt.
Prompt: First, review your work in Modules Five and Six, as well as the Four Lenses document from Module One.
Next, analyze your issue/event through the lens of the natural and applied sciences by exploring the following questions:
How does this issue/event provide a social commentary through the natural and applied sciences?
In what ways can science help resolve or enhance your issue/event?
Next, analyze your issue/event through the lens of the social sciences, and address the following:
How does this issue/event interact with the social sciences lens and impact social issues?
In what ways does the social science lens help articulate a deeper understanding of the social issue(s) that inform your issue/event?
Note: You are completing two separate analyses: one from the natural and applied sciences and one from the social sciences. You must submit two papers in a
single Word document.
Be sure to use evidence from research to support your analysis. Refer to course resources, the LibGuide for this course, and any other pertinent resources to
support your responses. Relevant current news sources may be used with instructor approval. Incorporate instructor feedback into Final Project Part One.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
I. Lens Analysis: In this section of your assignment, you will analyze your issue/event through two of the four general education lenses.
A. Analyze your issue/event through the lens of the natural and applied sciences for determining its impact on various institutions. Utilize evidence
from research to support your analysis.

SCS 200 Project One Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
Professionals in the social sciences investigate human behavior and society for the purpose of understanding why people act the way they do. This investigation
can help address a wide variety of social issues, such as the role of social media in the Arab Spring protests, the impact of social skills on future success, racial
factors in police violence, and how partitioned grocery carts can help shoppers purchase healthier foods. Social scientists can help address issues such as these
through research and investigation.
The summative assessment for this course has two parts. In Project One, you will conduct a research investigation that examines an issue in the social sciences.
You will identify appropriate resources for investigating the issue you select, use these resources to apply social science principles to the issue, and develop a
question related to the issue. In addition, you will identify an audience who would be interested in the selected issue. In Project Two, you will develop a
presentation for the audience you identified in Project One. In your presentation, you will explain how social scientific thinking has affected you and discuss the
impact of the issue on your audience, supporting your claims with evidence.
Project One addresses the following course outcomes:
Illustrate the impact of social scientific thinking on personal and professional experiences
Select appropriate and relevant social science resources in investigating contemporary issues in the social sciences
Communicate effectively to specific audiences in examining fundamental aspects of human behavior
Apply essential principles of the social sciences in addressing critical questions related to human behavior
Prompt
In Project One, you will select a contemporary issue in the social sciences to investigate. You may select an issue discussed in the course, or you may select your
own with instructor approval. You could consider using your question from SCS 100 if it is something you would like to investigate further for this assessment.
After selecting an issue, you will conduct a research investigation, identifying appropriate resources for researching the issue, applying social science principles to
your issue, and developing a question related to the issue. You will submit your research investigation as a written report.
2
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
I. Introduction: In this section, you will discuss your social science issue and select resources that you can use to research the issue. Specifically, you should
do the following:
A. Describe the issue in the social sciences that you have selected to investigate. Why is this issue significant?
B. Describe at least three social science resources that you could use to investigate the issue you selected. Your sources must be relevant to your

UMUC_SOCY100_Introduction to Sociology
Research: Why and How We Do It
As you have learned studying several of the historical figures of sociology mentioned above,
sociology requires us to go past our common sense (which can be faulty), experience (which can
be limited), and values (which are bound in time and culture) to gain new understandings of
social life. To do this, we need research tools or systematic ways in which to study social life. In
sociology, research tools fall under two main types: qualitative and quantitative methods. Each
has its advantages and disadvantages.
Quantitative methods are research tools such as surveys (developed to answer
specific research questions) and secondary data analysis (research using existing data
sets gathered for general purposes). Quantitative methods attempt to amass information
from large numbers of people. Of course, this method requires that people answer
prepared (close-ended) questions. Being forced to answer such questions in limited ways,
however, does not allow respondents to describe how they see their world.
Qualitative methods such as interviews (asking people open-ended
questions), content analysis (research to uncover the hidden meanings in, for example,
media coverage), orparticipant observation (physical observation of the social
interaction patterns of groups) take a different approach: they assume that the best way
to understand social life is to see the world through the individual's eyes. Researchers
may ask subjects why they act in certain ways or what rules and assumptions govern
their behavior. Questions in qualitative research instruments are more open-ended.
Limitations of this method are (1) the greater potential for bias (because researchers
themselves can be influenced by their subjects) and (2) the difficulty in generalizing
findings to larger groups, given the small sample size in studies using this method.
The social patterns found in responses, if done correctly, are taken to be "social facts"
and, therefore, are thought to contain information about social life.
Conducting Sociological Research
The steps in conducting sociological research can be listed as follows:
1. Select a topic: Find an interesting aspect of social life to study and state the subject to be studied in clear
terms.
2. Review previous research: Go the library and the Web to find out what research ...

an academic manner. This development occurs as a direct result of your research on the subject. Therefore, this is your
first formal articulation of your project. The Research Proposal is the next step towards writing assignments that will help
you construct your Research Paper.
Description:
In this 500-600-word, essay-style Research Proposal, you will develop the project that you intend to write about for your
final Research Paper for this course. If your Research Proposal is less than this word count, then it is likely you have not
fully developed your proposal or adhered to the assignment appropriately, which can severely impact your grade for this
assignment. Your Research Proposal will include the elements listed below.
Your Research Proposal should also include a list of references in APA style and should adhere to APA convention
throughout for in-text citation and style. When you write for academic or public audiences, it is imperative that you are
supported by voices other than your own. In other words, even if you are an expert, you still must support your assertions.
In a Research Proposal, the same is true. For this assignment, you will include at least one source in your description
of your tentative argument. The source cannot be yourself, an interview, or your text book. You must research your
topic in order to gain a valid academic source that speaks to your topic in some way.
Elements:
Your Research Proposal grade will be largely based on your inclusion of the elements listed below, as well as your
development of the project. For assistance, you might want to refer to Chapter 1, Section 1a, of The Little, Brown Compact
Handbook with Exercises (pp. 3-4). Your Research Proposal must contain the following elements:
1. Cover page and APA formatting:
You will include an APA-style cover page for your Research Proposal. Your cover page should include the
following: the title of your future Research Paper (this may be changed as your project develops), your name, and
the name of your university. The cover page must also include a running head which should include up to 50
characters from the title of the paper, along with a sequential page number in the upper right-hand corner.
2. Purpose:
Review the purpose statement on p. 333 of Strategies for Writing Successful Research Papers. You may also want
to refer to Chapter 1, Section 1c of The Little, Brown Compact Handbook with Exercises (pp. 6-7). The following
questions should be addressed in the first paragraph of your Research Proposal, which should be
dedicated to establishing your purpose for doing this particular project.

SCS 200 Project One Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
Professionals in the social sciences investigate human behavior and society for the purpose of understanding why people act the way they do. This investigation
can help address a wide variety of social issues, such as the role of social media in the Arab Spring protests, the impact of social skills on future success, racial
factors in police violence, and how partitioned grocery carts can help shoppers purchase healthier foods. Social scientists can help address issues such as these
through research and investigation.
The summative assessment for this course has two parts. In Project One, you will conduct a research investigation that examines an issue in the social sciences.
You will identify appropriate resources for investigating the issue you select, use these resources to apply social science principles to the issue, and develop a
question related to the issue. In addition, you will identify an audience who would be interested in the selected issue. In Project Two, you will develop a
presentation for the audience you identified in Project One. In your presentation, you will explain how social scientific thinking has affected you and discuss the
impact of the issue on your audience, supporting your claims with evidence.
Project One addresses the following course outcomes:
Illustrate the impact of social scientific thinking on personal and professional experiences
Select appropriate and relevant social science resources in investigating contemporary issues in the social sciences
Communicate effectively to specific audiences in examining fundamental aspects of human behavior
Apply essential principles of the social sciences in addressing critical questions related to human behavior
Prompt
In Project One, you will select a contemporary issue in the social sciences to investigate. You may select an issue discussed in the course, or you may select your
own with instructor approval. You could consider using your question from SCS 100 if it is something you would like to investigate further for this assessment.
After selecting an issue, you will conduct a research investigation, identifying appropriate resources for researching the issue, applying social science principles to
your issue, and developing a question related to the issue. You will submit your research investigation as a written report.

—Pearl Buck
Your final longer-term project in this course is to complete a multimedia presentation. The work you did on the Topic Exploration Worksheet in Theme 1 and the
historical context and introduction in Theme 3 will directly support your work on this project.
One of the prime benefits of studying history is that it allows us to learn about who we are and where we came from. The people and events of the past can
often shed light on the conditions and social norms of the present. Having historical awareness can inform various aspects of your life as well as future
aspirations. Learning from past failures and successes can shape ideals and values for years to come.
This final longer-term project is designed to help you understand the fundamental processes and value of studying history. In the first project, you completed
the Topic Exploration Worksheet on one of the topics or themes from the library guide. You investigated the types of research you might need to do to learn
more about the topic and developed research questions. In Project 2, you used this worksheet to complete a research plan and introduction. You selected one of
your research questions and did some secondary-source research, speculated on primary source needs, and used the information to write the introduction and
thesis statement for a possible research paper.
In this third project, you will create a multimedia presentation that explores both major developments in historical inquiry and the value of examining history.
This assessment addresses the following course outcomes:
Investigate major developments in the progression of historical inquiry for informing critical questions related to historical narrative
Articulate the value of examining historical events for their impact on contemporary issues
Prompt
Now that you have done some research with primary and secondary sources (using sources from the library guide for your chosen topic) and written an
introduction for a possible history paper, you will turn your attention to thinking about the creation and value of historical inquiry. You will use the research you
have done throughout this course, as well as course materials, to inform your thoughts. To present your opinions and observations, you will create a multimedia
presentation (using a presentation tool such as PowerPoint or Prezi) that addresses the following critical elements. While these questions may seem “big,”
remember that you are addressing them in a presentation, not a paper, and can use bullet points, visuals, or other methods. These critical elements will be
evaluated from the information you provide in your multimedia presentation. Note: If using Prezi, be sure to include a Word document with notes. If using

Materials challenges for
nuclear systems
The safe and economical operation of any nuclear power system relies
to a great extent, on the success of the fuel and the materials of
construction. During the lifetime of a nuclear power system which
currently can be as long as 60 years, the materials are subject to high
temperature, a corrosive environment, and damage from high-energy
particles released during fission. The fuel which provides the power for
the reactor has a much shorter life but is subject to the same types of
harsh environments. This article reviews the environments in which fuels
and materials from current and proposed nuclear systems operate and
then describes how the creation of the Advanced Test Reactor National
Scientific User Facility is allowing researchers from across the United
States to test their ideas for improved fuels and materials.

Successful operation of current light water reactors and
implementation of advanced nuclear energy systems is strongly
dependent on the performance of fuels and materials. A typical
Light Water Reactor (LWR) contains numerous types of materials
(Fig. 1) that must all perform successfully. A majority of the
LWRs in the U.S. are extending their operating licenses from a 40
year period to a 60 year period, with initial discussions about 80
year lifetimes now underway. Many proposed advanced systems
(also known as Generation IV systems) anticipate operation at
temperatures and radiation exposures that are beyond current
nuclear industry experience, as well as most previous experience
with developmental systems1-7.
Table 1 summarizes the expected environments during normal
operation for the six Generation IV systems. For comparison, the
operating conditions for a Pressurized Water Reactor (a type of light
water reactor) are also listed. The Generation IV systems are expected
to operate at higher temperatures, to higher radiation doses, at
higher pressures, and in some cases with coolants that present more
challenging corrosion problems than current LWRs. Generation IV
systems are expected to operate for at least 60 years.

IDS 400 Milestone Four Guidelines and Rubric
Analyzing an Issue or Event in Diversity Through the Lenses of the Natural and Applied Sciences and the Social Sciences
Overview: For the first part of your final project, the critical analysis portfolio, you will select an issue or event in diversity and critically analyze it through the
four general education lenses: history, humanities, natural and applied sciences, and social sciences. By viewing the issue or event through these lenses, you will
gain insight into how the intersectional nature of diversity affects society as well as both your own individual framework of perception and the choices, attitudes,
and behaviors of others in the world around you.
For this fourth milestone, due in Module Six, you will analyze your issue/event in diversity through the lenses of the natural and applied sciences and the social
sciences. Like Milestone Two, this task provides you with an opportunity to dive deeper into your analysis of the issue/event through these two lenses. This will
provide you with a chance to practice analyzing your issue/event through these lenses and receive feedback on this practice attempt.
Prompt: First, review your work in Modules Five and Six, as well as the Four Lenses document from Module One.
Next, analyze your issue/event through the lens of the natural and applied sciences by exploring the following questions:
How does this issue/event provide a social commentary through the natural and applied sciences?
In what ways can science help resolve or enhance your issue/event?
Next, analyze your issue/event through the lens of the social sciences, and address the following:
How does this issue/event interact with the social sciences lens and impact social issues?
In what ways does the social science lens help articulate a deeper understanding of the social issue(s) that inform your issue/event?
Note: You are completing two separate analyses: one from the natural and applied sciences and one from the social sciences. You must submit two papers in a
single Word document.
Be sure to use evidence from research to support your analysis. Refer to course resources, the LibGuide for this course, and any other pertinent resources to
support your responses. Relevant current news sources may be used with instructor approval. Incorporate instructor feedback into Final Project Part One.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
I. Lens Analysis: In this section of your assignment, you will analyze your issue/event through two of the four general education lenses.
A. Analyze your issue/event through the lens of the natural and applied sciences for determining its impact on various institutions. Utilize evidence
from research to support your analysis.

Research: Why and How We Do It
As you have learned studying several of the historical figures of sociology mentioned above,
sociology requires us to go past our common sense (which can be faulty), experience (which can
be limited), and values (which are bound in time and culture) to gain new understandings of
social life. To do this, we need research tools or systematic ways in which to study social life. In
sociology, research tools fall under two main types: qualitative and quantitative methods. Each
has its advantages and disadvantages.
Quantitative methods are research tools such as surveys (developed to answer
specific research questions) and secondary data analysis (research using existing data
sets gathered for general purposes). Quantitative methods attempt to amass information
from large numbers of people. Of course, this method requires that people answer
prepared (close-ended) questions. Being forced to answer such questions in limited ways,
however, does not allow respondents to describe how they see their world.
Qualitative methods such as interviews (asking people open-ended
questions), content analysis (research to uncover the hidden meanings in, for example,
media coverage), orparticipant observation (physical observation of the social
interaction patterns of groups) take a different approach: they assume that the best way
to understand social life is to see the world through the individual's eyes. Researchers
may ask subjects why they act in certain ways or what rules and assumptions govern
their behavior. Questions in qualitative research instruments are more open-ended.
Limitations of this method are (1) the greater potential for bias (because researchers
themselves can be influenced by their subjects) and (2) the difficulty in generalizing
findings to larger groups, given the small sample size in studies using this method.
The social patterns found in responses, if done correctly, are taken to be "social facts"
and, therefore, are thought to contain information about social life.
Conducting Sociological Research
The steps in conducting sociological research can be listed as follows:
1. Select a topic: Find an interesting aspect of social life to study and state the subject to be studied in clear
terms.
2. Review previous research: Go the library and the Web to find out what research ...

The summative assessment for this course has two parts. In Project One, you will conduct a research investigation that examines an issue in the social sciences.
You will identify appropriate resources for investigating the issue you select, use these resources to apply social science principles to the issue, and develop a
question related to the issue. In addition, you will identify an audience who would be interested in the selected issue. In Project Two, you will develop a
presentation for the audience you identified in Project One. In your presentation, you will explain how social scientific thinking has affected you and discuss the
impact of the issue on your audience, supporting your claims with evidence.
Project One addresses the following course outcomes:
Illustrate the impact of social scientific thinking on personal and professional experiences
Select appropriate and relevant social science resources in investigating contemporary issues in the social sciences
Communicate effectively to specific audiences in examining fundamental aspects of human behavior
Apply essential principles of the social sciences in addressing critical questions related to human behavior
Prompt
In Project One, you will select a contemporary issue in the social sciences to investigate. You may select an issue discussed in the course, or you may select your
own with instructor approval. You could consider using your question from SCS 100 if it is something you would like to investigate further for this assessment.
After selecting an issue, you will conduct a research investigation, identifying appropriate resources for researching the issue, applying social science principles to
your issue, and developing a question related to the issue. You will submit your research investigation as a written report.

Overview
“If you want to understand today, you have to search yesterday.”
—Pearl Buck
Your final longer-term project in this course is to complete a multimedia presentation. The work you did on the Topic Exploration Worksheet in Theme 1 and the
historical context and introduction in Theme 3 will directly support your work on this project.
One of the prime benefits of studying history is that it allows us to learn about who we are and where we came from. The people and events of the past can
often shed light on the conditions and social norms of the present. Having historical awareness can inform various aspects of your life as well as future
aspirations. Learning from past failures and successes can shape ideals and values for years to come.
This final longer-term project is designed to help you understand the fundamental processes and value of studying history. In the first project, you completed
the Topic Exploration Worksheet on one of the topics or themes from the library guide. You investigated the types of research you might need to do to learn
more about the topic and developed research questions. In Project 2, you used this worksheet to complete a research plan and introduction. You selected one of
your research questions and did some secondary-source research, speculated on primary source needs, and used the information to write the introduction and
thesis statement for a possible research paper.
In this third project, you will create a multimedia presentation that explores both major developments in historical inquiry and the value of examining history.
This assessment addresses the following course outcomes:
Investigate major developments in the progression of historical inquiry for informing critical questions related to historical narrative
Articulate the value of examining historical events for their impact on contemporary issues
Prompt
Now that you have done some research with primary and secondary sources (using sources from the library guide for your chosen topic) and written an
introduction for a possible history paper, you will turn your attention to thinking about the creation and value of historical inquiry. You will use the research you
have done throughout this course, as well as course materials, to inform your thoughts. To present your opinions and observations, you will create a multimedia
presentation (using a presentation tool such as PowerPoint or Prezi) that addresses the following critical elements. While these questions may seem “big,”
remember that you are addressing them in a presentation, not a paper, and can use bullet points, visuals, or other methods. These critical elements will be
evaluated from the information you provide in your multimedia presentation. Note: If using Prezi, be sure to include a Word document with notes. If using
PowerPoint, be sure to use the speaker notes feature. ...

Materials challenges for
nuclear systems
The safe and economical operation of any nuclear power system relies
to a great extent, on the success of the fuel and the materials of
construction. During the lifetime of a nuclear power system which
currently can be as long as 60 years, the materials are subject to high
temperature, a corrosive environment, and damage from high-energy
particles released during fission. The fuel which provides the power for
the reactor has a much shorter life but is subject to the same types of
harsh environments. This article reviews the environments in which fuels
and materials from current and proposed nuclear systems operate and
then describes how the creation of the Advanced Test Reactor National
Scientific User Facility is allowing researchers from across the United
States to test their ideas for improved fuels and materials.

Successful operation of current light water reactors and
implementation of advanced nuclear energy systems is strongly
dependent on the performance of fuels and materials. A typical
Light Water Reactor (LWR) contains numerous types of materials
(Fig. 1) that must all perform successfully. A majority of the
LWRs in the U.S. are extending their operating licenses from a 40
year period to a 60 year period, with initial discussions about 80
year lifetimes now underway. Many proposed advanced systems
(also known as Generation IV systems) anticipate operation at
temperatures and radiation exposures that are beyond current
nuclear industry experience, as well as most previous experience
with developmental systems1-7.
Table 1 summarizes the expected environments during normal
operation for the six Generation IV systems. For comparison, the
operating conditions for a Pressurized Water Reactor (a type of light
water reactor) are also listed. The Generation IV systems are expected
to operate at higher temperatures, to higher radiation doses, at
higher pressures, and in some cases with coolants that present more
challenging corrosion problems than current LWRs. Generation IV
systems are expected to operate for at least 60 years.

Extending the McCumber Cube
to Model Network Defense
By Sean M. Price – ISSA member Northern Virginia, USA chapter
This article proposes an extension to the McCumber
Cube information security model to determine the best
countermeasures to achieve a desired security goal.
Confidentiality, integrity, and availability are the se-curity services of a system. In other words they are the security goals of system defense, intangible at-
tributes� providing assurances for the information protected.
Each service is realized when the appropriate countermea-
sures for a given information state are in place. But, it is not
enough to select countermeasures ad hoc. Countermeasures
should be selected to defend a system and its information
against specific types of attacks. When attacks against partic-
ular information states are considered, the necessary coun-
termeasures can be selected to achieve the desired security
service or goal. This article proposes an extension to the Mc-
Cumber Cube information security model as a way for the
security practitioner to consider the best countermeasures to
achieve the desired security goal.
Security models
Models are useful tools to help understand complex topics. A
well-developed model can often be represented graphically,
allowing a deeper understanding of the relationships of the
components that make the whole. A formal security model
is broadly applicable and rigorously developed using formal
methods.2 In contrast, an informal model is considered lack-
ing one or both of these qualities. There are a variety of in-
formal models in the information security world which are
regularly used by security practitioners to understand basic
information and concepts.
� Security goals often lack explicit definitions and are difficult to quantify. They are
usually based on policies with broad interpretations and tend to be qualitative. It is
true that security goals emerge from the confluence of information states and coun-
termeasures which have measurable attributes. But, the subjective nature of security
goals combined with informal modeling characterizes their attributes as intangible.
2 P. T. Devanbu and S. Stubblebine, “Software Engineering for Security: A Roadmap,”
Proceedings of the Conference on The Future of Software Engineering (2000), 227-239.
One such informal model is the generally accepted risk as-
sessment framework. This model is used to assess risk by
estimating asset values, vulnerabilities, threats with their
likelihood of exploiting a vulnerability, and losses. Figure �
illustrates this model. Note that this commonly used model
requires a substantial amount of estimating on the part of
the risk assessment participants. This is problematic when
reliable estimates cannot be obtained. Another problem with
this model is that it does not guide th.

• When to find threats
• Playing chess
• How to approach software
• Tracking threats and assumptions
• Customer/vendor
• The API threat model
• Reading: Chapter 7
When to Find Threats
• Start at the beginning of your project
– Create a model of what you’re building
– Do a first pass for threats
• Dig deep as you work through features
– Think about how threats apply to your mitigations
• Check your design & model matches as you
get close to shipping
Attackers Respond to Your Defenses
Playing Chess
• The ideal attacker will follow the road you
defend
– Ideal attackers are like spherical cows — they’re a
useful model for some things
• Real attackers will go around your defenses
• Your defenses need to be broad and deep
“Orders of Mitigation”
Order Threat Mitigation
1st Window smashing Reinforced glass
2nd Window smashing Alarm
3rd Cut alarm wire Heartbeat signal
4th Fake heartbeat Cryptographic signal integrity
By Example:
• Thus window smashing is a first order threat, cutting
alarm wire, a third-order threat
• Easy to get stuck arguing about orders
• Are both stronger glass & alarms 1st order
mitigations? (Who cares?!)
• Focus on the concept of interplay between
mitigations & further attacks
How to Approach Software
• Depth first
– The most fun and “instinctual”
– Keep following threats to see where they go
– Can be useful skill development, promoting “flow”
• Breadth first
– The most conservative use of time
• Best when time is limited
– Most likely to result in good coverage
Tracking Threats and Assumptions
• There are an infinite number of ways to
structure this
• Use the one that works reliably for you
• (Hope doesn’t work reliably)

Is Texas so conservative- (at least for the time being)- as many pun.docx
Is Texas so conservative- (at least for the time being)- as many pundits and observers claim? Or is that just an opinion not supported by analysis and facts? Not only does Texas vote Republican in many elections but has done so for many years. It is also the birthplace of the so-called Tea Party movement and of Ron Paul's campaigns for president. Texas also appears to espouse conservative approaches to government and to issues. You will need to define in a concrete and operational way what conservative means as conservative is more than voting behavior or party affiliation.
Texas is the 2nd largest state in population compared to California and.like California made up of many differing migrant and immigrant groups. Texas like California was also part of Northern Mexico. but Texas is very, very different from California in voting behavior and positions on social issues. Why? Texas and California are good comparisons or are they? Provide explanations of the differences and similarities in this ideological context
Texas was once "Democratic" but even that was not really the case in terms of either past or current Democratic ideals and goals but a historic reaction to the consequences of the civil war and the fact that Texas was on the losing side in that war and of the attempt to defend agrarian interests in the form of slavery.. Being Democratic from post civil war to the middle of the 20th century in part meant for decades being in favor of inequality for minorities and defenders in spirit, if not in fact, of slavery.net
So Texas was never "Democratic" and never a more liberal interpretation of reality but a reflection of conservative thought and a particular view of individualistic man.
Is Texas conservative and why? ( you will need a social, cultural, historical and economic analysis here
with supporting evidence)?
? Need much more than opinions here.

BY KRISTIN GUNDERSON HUNT
THE FIGHT TO FILL VACANT COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE SPACE IN RECENT YEARS
HAS FORCED REAL ESTATE OWNERS AND MANAGERS TO CONSIDER NEW USES
FOR THEIR PROPERTIES—EVEN IF THEY REQUIRE TAKING ADDITIONAL RISKS.
especially vacancies,” said Janice
Ochenkowski, managing director
for Jones Lang LaSalle and the com-
mercial real estate firm’s director of
global risk management in Chicago.
“But property owners and manag-
ers have been very creative in how
to use their existing facilities.”
Traditional retail stores have been
transformed into everything from
medical office space and churches
to fitness centers and breweries. In
addition, special events and pop-
up stores are more commonplace;
traditional office spaces have been
converted to daycare centers; in-
dustrial warehouses are being used
as practice facilities for youth base-
ball teams; and the list goes on.
“From a risk management per-
spective, these new uses can bring
new challenges,” Ochenkowski said.
“However, it is the primary goal
of the risk manager to support the
business, which means we need to
be more creative in the way we deal
with these risks.”
DOESN’T MEAN YOU HAVE TO WALK AWAY.”–JANICE OCHENKOWSKI, JONES

The risks associated with new-use tenants are as varied as the tenants them-
selves.
First and foremost, certain tenants could present additional life safety
risks, said Jeffrey Shearman, a Pittsburgh-based senior risk engineering con-
sultant and real estate industry practice leader for commercial insurance
provider, Zurich.
For example, restaurant tenants create increased exposure to fire; church
and/or educational institutions might spur egress concerns because they en-
courage large gatherings in spaces formerly used for different occupancy;
and hazardous waste can be a risk with some medical tenants.
“You have to recognize that certain types of work are going to create cer-
tain types of hazards,” Shearman said.
Beyond life safety risks, certain tenants might be more susceptible than
previous tenants to codes and regulations imposed by state or federal laws,
such as licensing regulations for daycares or American Disabilities Act re-
quirements for medical tenants, said Pat Pollan, CPM, principal at Pollan
Hausman Real Estate Services in Houston.
New-use tenant risks don’t stop there: financial risks also exist. Replac-
ing a unique tenant with a similar occupant after the lease expires can be
difficult—a particular concern if a lot of money was spent customizing the
space for an alternative use.
“It’s not just the risk of liability, it’s the risk of the tenant going out of busi-
ness and losing any money you put into the tenant, or its space, .

Classmate 1
The Rise of the Republican Party
The Republican Party was formed due to a split in the Whig Party. The anti-slavery
“Conscience Whigs” split from the pro-slavery “Cotton Whigs”. Some anti-slavery Whigs joined
the American “Know-Nothing” Party, while the remainder joined with independent Democrats
and Free-Soilers to form a new party, the Republicans. The initial members stood for one
principle: the exclusion of slavery from the western territories (Shi, p. 462). Knowing the
Republicans ideology, we will look at how the events leading up to the Kansas-Nebraska Act led
to greater political division that eventually caused the formation of the Republican Party and it’s
rise to the presidency in 1860.
In the 1850’s, America was becoming increasingly divided between those for and against
slavery. The Compromise of 1850 had temporarily appeased both sides by admitting California
as a free state, allowing no slavery restrictions in New Mexico and Utah, paying Texas,
abolishing slave trade but no slavery in the District of Columbia, establishing the Fugitive Slave
Act, and denying congress authority to interfere with interstate slave trade (Shi, p. 457). This
Fugitive Slave Act was highly contested, although very few slaves were returned to the south
under this Act. In fact, it ended up uniting anti-slavery people, more than aiding the South. It was
during this time that Uncle Tom’s Cabin was written, selling more than a million copies
worldwide and detailing the harsh brutality of slavery (Shi, p. 460-461).
In the mid-1850’s, the Kansas-Nebraska Act was passed. The main reason for it was to the
settle the vast territory west of Missouri and Iowa, and to create a transcontinental railroad to
capitalize on Asian markets and goods. New territories brought up questions of whether slavery
would be allowed, with many supporting “popular sovereignty” where voters chose whether they
would have slavery or not. The issue here was that the 1820 Missouri Compromise had said there
would be no new slaver.

Investigative Statement AnalysisInitial statement given by Ted K.docx
Investigative Statement Analysis
Initial statement given by Ted Kennedy in reference to the accident that occurred on July 18, 1969 in Chappaquiddick, Massachusetts.
Date:
October 30, 2007
Analyst Comments:
Narrative Balance: The Prologue begins with sentence #1 and ends with sentence #3. The Central Issue begins with sentence #4 and ends with sentence #9. The Epilogue begins with sentence #10 and ends with sentence #14. Thus the breakdown is:
Prologue = 3 sentences
Central Issue = 6 sentences
Epilogue = 5 sentences
The narrative is somewhat unbalanced due to the short Prologue and thus can be considered to be possibly deceptive on its face. It is not unbalanced enough to say this conclusively.
Mean Length of Unit:
The narrative has 14 sentences and 237 words, thus giving a MLU of 16.9 rounded to 17. Thus any sentences 23 words or longer and any sentences 11 words or less can be considered deceptive on their face.
Structure of Analysis:
The actual sentences from the narrative are in bold italicized type. After each sentence are the number of words in the sentence, whether or not it is deceptive on its face, and the analyst’s comments. All of these will be in normal type.
1.
On July 18th, 1969, at approximately 11:15 P.M. in Chappaquiddick, Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, I was driving my car on Main Street on my way to get the ferry back to Edgartown.
30 words – Deceptive on its face. There is no mention of the passenger in this sentence. All of the pronouns are singular. It is “my car” “on my way”, etc. When the passenger is mentioned later, it is almost an afterthought. The deception in this sentence may be the last part of the sentence where he relates why he was driving the car. He very well may have been driving for some reason other than to get the ferry. This would be an area to be further explored in an interview.
2.
I was unfamiliar with the road and turned right onto Dike Road, instead of bearing hard left on Main Street.
20 words. “I was unfamiliar with the road” is an explanatory phrase telling us why he ended up on Dike Road. The phrase “instead of bearing hard left on Main Street” is a strange way of phrasing. Most people would say something like “instead of staying on Main Street.”
3.
After proceeding for approximately one-half mile on Dike Road I descended a hill and came upon a narrow bridge.
20 words. There is nothing particularly deceptive about this sentence. The phrasing of the sentence is very formal. The phrasing is almost like a police type report or a legal/lawyer way of phrasing. It also appears that the phrase “came upon a narrow bridge” is almost a passive way of phrasing that indicates he was taken by surprise and had no control over what he was doing.
4.
The car went off the side of the bridge.
9 words – This sentence is deceptive on its face. This is the very first sentence of the Central Issue. It is interesting to note that four of the six s.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdf
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.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Why did you select your news story? I selected the news story because I thought it was interesting 2. What about the story makes it interesting to you both personally and scientifically? Personally, I thought it was interesting to read on how big Tobacco owners have tried to manipulate information for consumers. Scientifically I thought it was interesting to learn on what the effects of smoking and second hand smoking have on people 3. What did you already know about the topic before selecting the news story? What opinions or assumptions had you made about it? I already know that smoking was bad for you and that second-hand smoking is just as bad. I also knew that tobacco owners have tried ways to manipulate the public to keep their interests with Tabaco products 4. Which concepts covered in the course relate to your news story? I don’t any concepts relate to my news story except for research my story has to do with space and the ninth planet
- 2. 5. What question do you have about the topic in the news story? How many hours of second hand smoke would a person need to experience in a lifetime before contracting some kind of cardiovascular disease 6. Why would this question be important to a natural scientist? It would be the study humans SCI 100 Project 3 Guidelines and Rubric Overview There are three projects for this course. In Project 1, you began your exploration of a natural science topic by selecting a news story and completing a topic exploration graphic organizer. In Project 2, you continued your analysis of the news story and the natural science topic and ultimately developed a question that, as a natural scientist, you would like to study. In Project 3, you will develop a presentation that discusses why your question is important and the value of studying the natural sciences. Project 3 will assess the following course outcomes, which you will focus on throughout Themes 3 and 4:
- 3. informing critical questions that drive scientific inquiry iences for their impact on contemporary issues Prompt Using the question that you posed in Project 2, explain why the answer is important for understanding yourself, other people, and the world around you. In addition, you will discuss how the natural sciences have developed to help us answer these important questions. Your presentation should include speaker notes so that your instructor knows what you would be saying if you were actually giving the presentation. The critical elements of this project will be evaluated by the information in your presentation. Be sure your actual question is apparent in the presentation. Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed: I. Why is the question you identified important to you as a member of society? II. Explain how finding the answer to your question might impact others around you. For example, who might be most interested in the answer to your question?
- 4. III. Explain why studying the natural sciences is valuable. In other words, what is the benefit of studying topics in the natural sciences? IV. Describe the major developments in the natural sciences related to your topic. Use course resources to back up your discussion. V. Detail the major developments in scientific thinking that support the study and advancement of the natural sciences as necessary and valuable. Use course resources to back up your discussion. VI. How do these developments in the natural sciences and scientific thinking inform questions about the topic in your news story? In other words, what is the relationship between major developments in the natural sciences and the questions that natural scientists are interested in? VII. Discuss the obligation that you have as a citizen of your society to understand the science behind issues that impact you every day. For instance, how can being a more scientifically informed member of society benefit you and your community? Review this document to help you create your presentation.
- 5. Supporting Work and Resources Throughout Themes 3 and 4, there are several opportunities to work directly on different elements of this project: 1. In Learning Block 5-1, you will consider the benefits and value of studying the natural sciences. 2. In Learning Block 5-3, you will identify the major developments in the natural sciences that are related to your topic. 3. In Learning Block 6-2, you will think about how developments in scientific thinking impact the way science is carried out. 4. In Learning Block 6-3, you will reflect upon how developments in the sciences influence the types of questions that researchers ask. 5. In Learning Block 7-1, you will question the importance of your selected topic and research question to you and the world around you. 6. In Learning Block 7-2, you will consider the benefits of understanding the science behind issues that you see in the news, and you will consider how it might impact those around you. You will also practice creating a presentation that addresses these issues. 7. In Learning Block 7-3, you will consider the ethical concerns of your selected topic. 8. In Learning Block 8-2, you will again consider the importance of being an informed citizen, and you will reflect on the value of understanding and studying the natural sciences.
- 6. http://snhu- media.snhu.edu/files/course_repository/undergraduate/sci/sci10 0/sci100_presentation_supporting_resources.pdf Project 3 Rubric Guidelines for Submission: Your presentation should use Prezi, PowerPoint, or a comparable presentation tool and include speaker notes.
