We learned about terrorism and the history of weapons of mass destruction (WMDs).Discuss how the WMD was used and what the impacts were on society. Your assignment for this unit is to research and summarize the different types of WMDs. Choose one type of chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or explosive (CBRNE) weapon that has been developed. In your paper, be sure to discuss the topics listed below.
· Give an in-depth description of the device and how it was used.
· Examine what technological advancements led to the development of the WMD.
· Discuss how the WMD was used and what the impacts were on society.
· Was the device used in a time of war? Was it used by what we would consider as a terrorist group today? Discuss the political ramifications of the use of the WMD.
· Following the use of the WMD, were any laws enacted to regulate the use of the device?
· Describe any overall changes in warfare associated with the WMD.
Your completed assignment should be at least three pages in length and utilize at least three outside sources, one of which must come from the CSU Online Library. The tutorial
Home – How to Research Homeland Security Topics – LibGuides at Columbia Southern University in the CSU Library has great information to help you with researching the library. Adhere to APA Style when creating citations and references for this assignment.

Select the best methods and techniques for protecting confidentiality and integrity of data in transit, and apply principles to the whole study approach.

  4 Deliverables and 4-10 pages total (1-2 each).
  
Scenario:
You are a security software architect in a cloud service provider company, assigned to a project to provide the client with data integrity and confidentiality protections for data in transit that will be using applications in the cloud. Your client is an HR company called, Six twenty One HR Company that is moving HR applications and HR data into a community cloud, sharing tenancy with other clients. Your company has set up a software as a service, SAS, offering for its client base. We will be using Microsoft Azure.
The data that Six twenty One HR Company will be pushing to and from the cloud will contain sensitive employee information, such as personally identifiable information, PII. You will have to address sensitive data and transit issues of the client data using the HR applications stored in the cloud, and provide a life cycle management report that includes solutions to the cloud computing architect of your company.
The team will decide on a team leader, who may divide sections to complete by small groups of team members. You decide to make an outline of the report, and to use the phases of the software development lifecycle, SDLC, as a basis for the report. The outline includes the following: examine the cloud computing environment and determine the protection techniques and how they will be applied to components within the cloud to ensure end-to-end protection of data in transit. Consider what security techniques and methods are applicable, and tailor the software development life cycle methodology for the cloud computing environment.
Select the best methods and techniques for protecting confidentiality and integrity of data in transit, and apply principles to the whole study approach. These are the software development life cycle phases to use as the report outline: initiating projects/defining scope, functional design, analysis and planning, system design specifications, software development, installation/implementation, tailoring, operation and maintenance, and disposal.

Write a two-body paragraph essay about the roles and duties of a responsible  city resident in today’s interconnected world. In your essay, make sure that you  discuss the following points: ? How city residents can act as global citizens.  ? Two main roles they can play in creating an urban environment that aligns  with the principles of global citizenship and helps in making the world a  better place. The following questions can help you think of the main points to discuss in your  essay.  1. What are some ways city residents can embrace diversity within their  community? 2. How can individuals in the city reduce their environmental impact and  contribute to a healthier planet? Make sure that you: ? Write no less than 150 words.  ? Include the following in your essay: a. An effective introduction. b. An effective thesis statement. c. Two supporting paragraphs. d. A clear and concise topic sentence at the beginning of each body  paragraph. e. Specific and adequate supporting details. f. One or two sentences for the conclusion

The nine areas of competency are: · Scientific Foundations · Leadership · Quality · Practice Inquiry · Technology and Information Literacy · Policy · Health Delivery System · Ethics · Independent Practice For each of the nine NONPF competencies, write one paragraph explaining how the program has prepared you to meet the competency (for a total of at least nine paragraphs). Then, propose how you plan to engage in social change in your community as a nurse practitioner. Finally, describe 1–2 legislative and/or advocacy activities in which your state (Forida) nurse practitioner (psyquiatric nurse practitioner) organization(s) are involved.

Instructions
In small groups, students will develop a visual communication project—an infographic—in which they use an image(s) to create a message that meaningfully informs or persuades an audience. The infographic should be like a poster you might see on the wall in a doctor’s office, containing a variety of types of information on a topic.  The topic does not need to be restricted to healthcare.  Be sure to follow APA throughout, treat all copyrighted images as research sources, and cite appropriately. Be sure to address all rubric criteria.
Required Format and Process
This assignment has two parts: 1) in groups, students will create an infographic (an image or a collection of images combined with text for the purpose of making a statement, illustrating a concept, or describing a process); students should decide early if they are aiming to inform or persuade, and research must inform the project; 2) the group will incorporate appropriate language to support the message to complete their infographic.
Example: To complete this assignment, each group  will: 1) choose a focus and goal (to either inform or persuade); 2) decide on the approach (illustrate process or make an impact); 3) select or create appropriate image(s); 4) conduct relevant research; 5) incorporate appropriate text to support the overall message in a well-designed infographic. Note: any online image must be cited just as text would (groups are free to create their own images for the infographic by using their own creative means, such as photography, drawing, etc.).

MY BEST TEAM EXPERIENCE Nearly everyone has been part of a team during the course of their lives. Some of these team experiences may have been positive, some perhaps negative, and some neutral to the point that they are barely memorable. By working together with a team, you are offered unique opportunities for growth as other members will challenge your assumptions and present different perspectives. Think of your experiences being in teams. Which ones stand out as being most memorable?
