CYB-535 Risk Management Framework Guide Directions: Selecting a model to use in designing your company’s risk management framework may be somewhat intimidating. A recommended approach is to begin by studying the models presented in Topic 4, including NIST, ISO, FAIR, OCTAVE, etc. Then, identify what each offers to the envisioned process. Once you understand what each model offers, you can adapt one or more models to fit your organization’s needs. Based upon the selected model(s), address all of the criteria below. Part 1: Communities of Interest A community of interest (CoI) is a group of people who operate to address security and privacy needs within the mission of the business or organization. This community can include InfoSec, IT, management, or users. Each member is held accountable for managing risks, meaning each member has a particular strategic role to play that is directly linked to managing risks of information assets. Identify and explain the strategic roles each community of interest must play in managing risks to your company’s information assets. Table 1. Community of Interest Name Role(s) Responsibilities             Part 2: Risk Management Plan Establish the Context of Risk framework and Risk Process Refer to the NIST’s “Guide for Applying the Risk Management Framework to Federal Information Systems,” or “Guide for conducting Risk Assessment,” located in the topic Resources. Then, present/map the steps in which you will: Identify the purpose of the risk assessment. Identify the scope of the risk assessment. Identify the assumptions and constraints associated with the risk assessment. Identify the sources of information to be used as inputs to the risk assessment. Risk Identification Use the table to perform the following: Identify your company’s information assets. Classify and categorize your assets into meaningful groups. Prioritize your assets by overall importance. Table 2. Assets Classification Information Assets Classification: Confidential, Private, Public Impact on Profitability: Critical, High, Medium Impact on Public Image: Critical, High, Medium Impact on Revenue: Critical, High, Medium Weighted Score / 100 Ex: Web Server # 1 Public Critical High Critical 95 Threat Assessment Use the table to perform the following: Identify/categorize a minimum of 10 threats and their possible vulnerabilities. Determine which represents danger to your organization’s assets. Determine which threats are internal and which are external. Determine which threat has the highest probability of success/occurrence. Determine which threat could result in the largest loss if successful. Table 3. Threat Vulnerability Assessment Threat Possible Vulnerabilities Internal or External Probability of Occurrence / Success Reputation Loss if Successful Financial Loss if Successful Ex: Information Extortion Internal 79% 56% 80% Part 3: Risk Analysis During this process, assign a risk rating/score to each vulnerability defined in Part 2. Use the table to perform the following: Asset: List each vulnerable asset. Vulnerability: List each possible vulnerability. Likelihood: Indicate the likelihood of the realization of the vulnerability by an attacker (0 to 5). Impact: Indicate the impact of this vulnerability to your company (0 to 5). Risk Rating Factor: Indicate the result of multiplying asset impact and its likelihood (0 to 25). Table 4. Asset Vulnerability Assessment Asset Vulnerability Likelihood Impact Risk Rating Factor Ex: Email Server Email disruption due to software failure Part 4: Risk Evaluation / Report Findings Based on the results of the risk analysis and threat assessments: Which risks are acceptable to your company?

Fed’s Powell Seals Expectations of Half-Point Rate Rise in May

Federal Reserve officials have broadly signaled a desire to raise interest rates to levels that don’t provide stimulus

Updated April 21, 2022 5:47 pm ET

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell signaled the central bank was likely to raise interest rates by a half percentage point at its meeting next month and indicated similar rate rises could be warranted after that to lower inflation.

A rate increase in May, following the Fed’s decision to lift rates from near zero by a quarter percentage point last month, would mark the first time since 2006 that the central bank increased its policy rate at back-to-back meetings. A half-point increase would be the first such move since 2000.

The Fed has indicated it will also formally announce plans at the May 3-4 meeting to begin shrinking its $9 trillion asset portfolio in June, a double-barreled effort to remove stimulus to curb price pressures that are at a four-decade high.

“It is appropriate in my view to be moving a little more quickly” than the Fed has in the recent past, Mr. Powell said Thursday. “I also think there’s something in the idea of front-end loading” those moves.

Mr. Powell spoke Thursday afternoon at a panel discussion with European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde hosted by the International Monetary Fund. It was his last scheduled public appearance before the central bank’s policy meeting next month.

Fed Chairman Jerome Powell confirmed an interest rate increase of a half-percentage point would be ‘on the table’ at the U.S. central bank’s May meeting.

Mr. Powell’s top lieutenants on the central bank’s rate-setting committee had already cemented market expectations of a half-point rate increase at the May gathering. Fed officials including governor Lael Brainard, who is awaiting Senate confirmation to serve as the central bank’s vice chair, have almost unanimously signaled a desire to raise rates expeditiously to a more neutral setting that no longer provides stimulus. New York Fed President John Williams said last week that a half-point rate rise in May was a “very reasonable option.”

Investors in interest-rate futures markets have in recent weeks bet on increases of a half percentage point, or 50 basis points, at each of the Fed’s next two meetings. “Markets are processing what we’re seeing. They’re reacting appropriately, generally,” Mr. Powell said, though he said he wasn’t endorsing any particular market pricing. Still, he concluded, “Fifty basis points will be on the table for the May meeting.”

The IMF said Tuesday that it expects global economic growth to slow significantly this year as the repercussions of the war in Ukraine spread world-wide, a setback for many countries already grappling with the Covid-19 pandemic and rising inflation and interest rates.

The IMF expects the world’s economy to grow 3.6% this year, down from 6.1% last year. The new forecast is 0.8-percentage-point lower than its projection in January and a 1.3-point cut from its October 2021 outlook.

The multilateral group, in its flagship World Economic Outlook report, also reduced its 2023 global growth projection to 3.6%, down 0.2 point from its January forecast.

Many emerging-market economies that aren’t major commodity exporters and that took on bigger debt burdens after the coronavirus pandemic in 2020 are increasingly vulnerable to a triple whammy of higher food and energy prices, supply-chain disruptions as China resumes lockdowns to contain new virus strains, and now tighter monetary policy from the Fed.

SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS

Mr. Powell warned of growing supply-and-demand imbalances in the U.S. labor market that some economists worry could fuel a wage-price spiral that drives inflation higher as workers bid up wages.

In July 2019, as the unemployment rate was falling to a half-century low of 3.5% but inflation drifted below the Fed’s 2% target, Mr. Powell dismissed concerns that the labor market might be overheating. “To call something hot, you need to see some heat,” he said.

Today, wage growth is running at its highest levels in years and the labor market has tightened rapidly, with the unemployment rate tumbling to 3.6% in March from 5.9% last June. “It’s too hot. It’s unsustainably hot,” Mr. Powell said. “It’s our job to get it to a better place where supply and demand are closer together.”

The Labor Department is scheduled to report on April 29 on a widely watched measure of labor costs during the first quarter. Economists at JPMorgan Chase & Co. estimate a separate release by the Commerce Department of the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge, also expected April 29, will show that core prices, which exclude volatile food and energy items, rose 5.3% over the year through March, down from their 12-month increase of 5.4% in February.

Mr. Powell said the Fed is focused above all else on bringing down inflation. “Economies don’t work without price stability,” he said.

The Fed is trying to engineer a so-called soft landing in which it slows growth enough to bring down inflation, but not so aggressively that the economy slips into a recession. “I don’t think you’ll hear anyone at the Fed say that that’s straightforward or easy. It’s going to be very challenging,” Mr. Powell said.

In prerecorded remarks at a separate conference on Thursday morning, Mr. Powell extolled the example of former Fed Chairman Paul Volcker, who raised interest rates aggressively in the early 1980s to stamp out inflation.

“Chair Volcker understood that expectations for inflation play a significant role in its persistence,” said Mr. Powell. “He therefore had to fight on two fronts: slaying, as he called it, the ‘inflationary dragon’ and dismantling the public’s belief that elevated inflation was an unfortunate, but immutable, fact of life.”

“He had to stay the course,” Mr. Powell said.

A 58-year-old obese white male presents to ED with chief complaint of fever, chills, pain, and swelling in the right great toe. He states the symptoms came on very suddenly and he cannot put any weight on his foot. Physical exam reveals exquisite pain on any attempt to assess the right first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint. Past medical history positive for hypertension and Type II diabetes mellitus. Current medications include hydrochlorothiazide 50 mg po q am, and metformin 500 mg po bid. CBC normal except for elevated sedimentation rate (ESR) of 33 mm/hr and C-reactive protein (CRP) 24 mg/L. Metabolic panel normal. Uric acid level 6.7 mg/dl.

In your Case Study Analysis related to the scenario provided, explain the following:

  • Both the neurological and musculoskeletal pathophysiologic processes that would account for the patient presenting these symptoms.
  • Any racial/ethnic variables that may impact physiological functioning.
  • How these processes interact to affect the patient.

Here you are going to write a lesson plan for a large class of 60 students. The plan is 60 minutes long, and so don’t forget to put the timing for each stage, and the student/teacher interaction too. Note; S-T & T-S is not suitable for a large class, you need to get the students in small groups right from the start, and interacting in those groups as soon as possible.

To write your lesson plan you can use either a PPP structure or a skills-based lesson plan structure. Here’s a quick reminder of the stages you will have to include (don’t forget you can find detailed information on these lesson plan structures in units 2 and 6 of the Methodology course). So first you need to decide which lesson plan structure you will use – you only need to choose one structure here.

See below what you should include depending on the structure you choose:


PPP

1.    Lead-in

Use this to warm the students up for the lesson, grab their attention and find out what they already know about the TL. Remember not to teach anything here.

2.    Presentation

Teach the meaning, pronunciation and form of the TL. Elicit as much as possible and don’t forget the concept questions . Remember you need to find a way for your sts to discover the meaning themselves rather than just tell them.

3.    Practice (controlled)

Students practise using the TL themselves in structured activities.

4.    Production (free)

When you are happy the students have grasped what you have taught them they can practise using the TL in a free way using everything else that they know. This should be a speaking activity and students should use the language naturally.

Lesson topic ideas

You need to do a lesson based around functions – i.e. how to do something. You can choose any function you like – here are a couple of ideas:

  • Making a complaint
  • Giving Opinions
  • Making requests
  • Agreeing and disagreeing
  • Making excuses

Don’t forget as target language here, you will teach between 8 and 10 useful phrases rather than individual words for the function you choose.


Skills

1.    Lead-in

Here we introduce the theme of the listening or reading to get the students “contextualised”. We don’t need to focus on the skill yet.

2.    Pre-teach vocabulary

Try to get students to work together to work out the meanings of some tricky or unknown words from your text or listening resource.

3.    Predictive activity

The students should predict something they think they will hear or see in listening or text.

4.    Listening/reading for gist

Students should do a task that checks their general understanding of the listening or text.

5.    Listening/reading for specific information

Students should do a task where they read or listen for specific information.

6.    Follow-on task

This task is a continuation of the theme and should be a speaking or a writing activity.

Lesson topic ideas

Choose a listening or reading resource to base your lesson around. You don’t have to include the actual resource here but clearly explain what it is. Here are a couple of ideas:

  • A newspaper headline about a popular musician
  • A sports commentary from an important national game
  • A short clip from a film or TV programme
  • A review of a new games console


Now you can write your lesson plan. Here are a few things to remember:

  • Your students should be put into groups right at the beginning and they should work in these mini-groups throughout the lesson. You can put groups together for some activities but avoid whole class activities. You need to describe the group work in each of your activities.
  • All the students should participate as much as possible and aim for as much STT as possible.
  • Elicit – don’t lecture the students.
  • Use your group leaders to help you manage the activities, and help with monitoring and feedback.
  • Choose something that is suitable for both the age and the level of the students – they are pre-intermediate level teenagers.
  • The word count for your lesson plan is 600 words.


NOTE TO THE TUTOR:


– I asked another tutor to help me with this but they did it incorrectly. I attached the Lesson Plan the previous tutor did for me and it was INCORRECT. This is the feedback I received from professor SO PLEASE DONT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE:

Sorry but this still isn’t what the assignment requires. It is too general.

You need to teach and practise 8-10 useful phrases for the function you have chosen.Here is a link where you may find useful phrases:https://www.englishclub.com/vocabulary/functional-language.htmYou also need to be clearer on how you will organise the class for each activity. The activities are the easy part – the organisation is the difficult part! This assignment is looking for more information on how you will run your class as opposed to the actual activities you will do. Think about how you would form groups in terms of levels etc …. choosing groups leaders, monitoring and feedback with groups and leaders… using powerpoint, microphone …

Here is an example of what is required (please don’t use this example):

Pre Plan InfoStudent level:   Intermediate    Duration:             1 hourAim:   To teach the language associated with making complaints,  to a large class of 60.Target Language               “Excuse me”, “Sorry …”,  Unfortunately, etc.                                                can you change, fix, replace, stop, etc. please.                                               Assumptions     Students will have encountered these phrases before but may need understand the British need for politeness in complaints situations.OrganisationSplit the class into groups of 6 with a group leader. The groups should be mixed abilities. Potential leaders can be identified from those who actively participate in class. Speak to the group leaders together before a class to tell them what you need from them as leaders. You need them to be your eyes and ears to make sure that all students have resources and understand instructions. They also need to make you aware of potential problems.In class, students can move the chairs so that each group is sitting together in a circle, with space for the teacher to walk round, listen, monitor and correct where necessary.The groups are around the edge of the room so that a space is available in the middle to do activities where appropriate.The teacher has an overhead projector and IT facilities. A good sound system is available and he has a microphone to project his voice to the back of the room.

PLAN


Warmer (2 mins)

Amended “Simon Says” game using “Please” instead of “Simon Says”

Lead in  (8 mins)

A short, comical video lasting 3 minutes parodying the British love of talking about the weather. The large hall benefits from a large screen, so use the facilities which are available.Talk about phrases used to show politeness.  Elicit examples. Use groups to discuss and list examples of phrases used to be polite.Class feedback, write answers on board but also show prepared list on overhead projector. Want to make sure fonts big enough so people at back can see.


Presentation  (12 mins)

Talk about my hotel room last night. No heating, noisy neighbours, empty mini-bar.  “ I want to complain.  What should I say?”  Elicit examples of words I should use. Then groups to discuss and think of more examples, for example:I have a complaint to make. …Sorry to bother you but…I’m sorry to say this but…I’m afraid I’ve got a complaint about…I’m afraid there is a slight problem with…Excuse me but there is a problem about…I want to complain about…I’m angry about…Try to Elicit Excuse me, and Sorry at the start of the sentence and elicit reason that it is more polite . More British. Demonstrate difference between using and not using politeness.Elicit a range of other situation the students have experienced where they complained or wanted to complain.Short role play with two group leaders to demonstrate the language to the class

Practice (15 mins)

Closed pair work in groups to use language concerning specific example of complaining about hotel room ( flash cards). Listening, monitoring and correcting.Class feedback and review of any errors highlighted when monitoring the pairs workOpen pairs within each group using the target language, and the list on the board of things to complain about and sentences to use.Controlled roll play using prepared situations, both polite and impolite complaints (hand-outs). Then discussing in groups, which set of complainers got a better response.  Monitoring and correcting.  Feedback on the board.

Production (20 mins)

In pairs, back-to-back,  have a pretend telephone conversation where one is making a complaint and the other is answering the complaint. Swap roles after a couple of minutes, then swap pairs partners, and repeat.Teacher monitoring but not correcting.

Feedback and homework (3 min)

Class feedback where teacher can reinforce problem areas heard during monitoring. Summary points on overhead projector.Homework: Write an email to the hotel you stayed at last week telling them why you are unhappy.

Here you are going to write a lesson plan for a large class of 60 students. The plan is 60 minutes long, and so don’t forget to put the timing for each stage, and the student/teacher interaction too.

How can the energy barrier of a reaction be lowered? If the unbinding rate of an intermolecular bond (e.g. between tubulin and kinesin, or an antibody and an antigen) increases by a factor of 10 when the bond is stressed with a force of 10 pN (relative to the unstressed unbinding rate), can you predict how much a force of 20 pN will accelerate unbinding? The Bell equation (the Arrhenius equation when a constant force is applied to the bond) is: Where ku is the unbinding rate, A is a frequency prefactor, F is the applied force, x* is the distance to the transition state, kB is the Boltzmann constant, and T is the temperature. If you would be shrunk to the nanoscale (e.g. to serve as nanosubmariner), how would your experience of your environment change? What tradeoffs should be accounted for when thinking about molecular assembly and disassembly? “Nanobiotechnology involves both mechanics and chemistry.” What is meant by this sentence?
