Risks are any potential negative actions that could occur during or after a planned event. Examples could include a training evolution or a ?real world? mission or operation. Risks may involve potential loss of life or injuries, equipment and/or mission failure. Each of these risks must be identified and assessed to determine if the risks are indeed worth taking to achieve the goals or objectives of the planned endeavor. If the risks outweigh the reward, then further assessment should be explored to determine the feasibility of conducting the event, operation, etc… According to the Department of Homeland Security (2011), establishing the capability and ability to identify, comprehend, and address these complex challenges and opportunities is the basis of risk management. Further, risk management enhances and improves the decision-making process for leadership personnel.ÿÿ Quantitative and Qualitative Risk Analysisÿ According to Francisco (2022), ?qualitative risk analysis is based on a person’s perception or judgment while quantitative risk analysis is based on verified and specific data? (para 5). When implementing qualitative risk analysis, the value is the risk rating or scoring. Risks can be designated ?low? or labeled a score of 1 to show that the risk is not emergent or requires immediate attention. When using quantitative risk analysis, the values given each risk is oftentimes in percentages, while also indicating the probability of the risks occurring or of the risk casuing a specific effect upon the project or mission gols and objectives. Also, Munteanu (2006) notes that qualitative assessments can use risk assessment matrix and questionnaires and within risk matrix, risks are ranked as low, medium or high, and respondents use a risk scale for risk ranking in the respective questionnaire.ÿ Risk assessments should be based upon a true comprehensive risk assessment, as well as classified by the depth of any scenario that could arise from accepting these risks. Further, each risk assessment should be reviewed by the level of severity so the correct level of protective measures can be implemented as soon as the hazard is identified. Oftentimes, an emergent situation or contingency occurs that is not a worst-case scenario, so dedicating resources to a relatively minor incident could draw the allocated resources away from a more severe emergency.ÿ Levels of Analysisÿÿ At the asset level of analysis, a survey is conducted examining an asset?s mission-critical elements along with a thorough understanding of the consequences of ?disruption, physical and security vulnerabilities to a wide range of hazards and threats, and asset attractiveness provides insight into actions an asset owner can take to reduce an asset?s overall risk exposure? (Ayyub et al., 2007, p. 791). At the portfolio level, the total risk associated with the portfolio or group of assets are assessed to compare alternatives that seek to reduce the overall risk (Ayyub et al., 2007).ÿ Christian Worldviewÿ 1 Peter 4:12 (English Standard Version) speaks of hazards and risks, stating ?beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you.? ÿ Referencesÿ Ayyub, B.M., McGill, W.L., & Kaminskiy, M.P.

Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, read Chapter 5 of the How Should One Live? An Introduction to Ethics and Moral Reasoning. You should also read or watch the resource your instructor has provided for this discussion, which you can find in the instructor?s discussion prompt post.
In the ancient Greece of Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, a ?symposium? was a banquet held after a meal, an ?after-party? of sorts that usually included drinking, dancing, recitals, and engaging conversations on the topics of the day. For our purposes in this course, the Symposium discussions will not involve dancing, recitals, or a banquet, but they will provide food for thought on current ethical issues and direct application of the ethical theory discussed in each of these weeks.
For this Symposium discussion, your instructor will choose a topic of current ethical interest and a resource associated with it for you to read or watch. Your task is to consider how virtue ethics applies to the controversy, dilemma, event, or scenario selected by your instructor. It is a chance for you to discuss together the ethical issues and questions that it raises, your own response to those, and whether that response aligns with a virtue ethics approach. The aim is to identify, evaluate, and discuss the moral reasoning involved in addressing the chosen issue.
The total word count for all your posts should be at least 600 words, excluding references.
In-text citations and references should follow APA guidelines. See the APA StyleLinks to an external site. resource in the Writing Center.
Discussion Topic: Virtue in Performance Enhancing Drugs
This week, we will consider how virtue ethics applies to performance-enhancing drugs in professional sports.ÿ
Please watch this videoLinks to an external site. that outlines the kinds and types of Performance Enhancing Drugs and some ethical issues.
According to Aristotle?s Doctrine of the Mean, Virtue requires that we seek the mean between excess and deficit. Additionally, his conception of eudaimonia, or the good life, suggests that the perfection of excellences is a central component of living. Our physical abilities, character traits, and above all, our intellect were to all be perfected.ÿ
With Aristotle?s virtue theory in mind, do you think he would say that consuming performance-enhancing drugs (i.e., steroids) in professional sports is morally permissible?ÿ Why or why not?ÿ
Are there some performance-enhancing drugs or therapies that are more moral than others?ÿ
Your posts should remain focused on ethical considerations. At some point in your contribution, you must address how a virtue ethicist would approach this issue by explaining and evaluating that approach.ÿIf you have a position, you should strive to provide reasons in defense of that position.ÿ
When responding to peers, you should strive first to understand the reasons they are offering before challenging or critiquing those reasons. One good way of summarizing their argument before offering a critique or evaluation.

This week we explored the concept of Tokenization. Three important protocols discussed were Secure Multi-Party Computation (SMPC), Policy-Backed Token (PBT) and Open Asset Protocol (OAP). Compare and contrast these three protocols and explain which industries can benefit the most from each of these protocols. Please make your initial post and two response posts substantive. A substantive post will do at least TWO of the following:
Part 1Create SurveyCreate a survey or questionnaire that could be used and collect data for a purpose or project of your choice. The idea is to think through the process and identify questions that would assist you in understanding how data is collected to make meaningful data visualizations.Your survey should consist of at least 25 questions, include at least five items to collect demographic information.Within your survey include a at least three of the following in addition to the 5 demographic questions.At least:3 multiple choice questions3 Yes or No questions3 Likert Scale Question3 Open Ended questionsPart 2Administer SurveyDistribute and collect your survey from 30 participants. (Your classmates are not your participants for your survey project, you will need to give your survey out to people who may be interested in your topic. You can give your survey to: Friends, Family, Co-worker, Employers, Other Students etc.) Part 3Analyze ResultsCompile your survey data into a spread sheet (Excel) or some other tool (this is your raw data)Evaluate and analyze your survey data to brainstorm creating visual presentations of your data. You should include a variety of data visualization tools such as: tables, charts, graphs, plots etc. Be reasonable but creative with your data presentation. * Microsoft Excel offers a variety of tools.*Part 4Create Data VisualizationCreate a visual presentation of your survey resultsPart 5Complete JournalReflect on your development of each part of the survey project.

The team has 7 players.Each player provides the following information: Write a program that reports the following information to the output file ?Basketball_report.txt?Player 1 Name Position total points avg per gamePlayer 2 Name Position total points avg per game??.Team Total points: xxxx Avg per game : xxx.xx Requirements of the program:1) Create a class called Player: Write the proper attributesName (string), Description (string), points[] for every game (array of int) and the correct functions (Accessors and mutators that access and update the info of the variables. Create the right specification file and implementation file. (.h and .cpp files)2) Create a player (player1) and initialize its members to the following values: name=??, description=?? and points [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0] through a constructor. (Create a private function called by the constructor to build the array)3) Create 5 more players using a copy constructor. (Keep those players in an array.4) The program asks to enter every player?s info to the user and keep that info in the instance variables of every player (Use the mutators).5) Create an extra object of the class player (player_extra) and assign player1 to player_extra . (Overload the =operator) Then change Player_extra points (use the mutator to update the array contents)6) Use the iomanipulators to display the total points of the team ,average points per game, total points per player, and avg per player results in the output file.Use fixed, setw(), setprecision(2), and showpoint.2 Extra point(voluntary) : Update the program to read the input data from a file called ?data.txt? this should contain all the info for every player but the ?player_extra? in every line.
Week 6 Assignment – Applying the IMPACT Model
Overview
You have been appointed by the chief of police to represent the police department in communicating with a newly formed civilian police oversight board.
