The importance of revising my article is very important, it allows me to use proper feedback and advise to perfect and reformat my article. this is critical because without proper feedback my article can lack depth, this can make my article flat and undesirable to read. There are many things that I can do to improve my article in a large-scale change, such as restructuring my paragraphs or even making my into paragraph more detailed to the reader and giving more detail about the article. There are many things that I could use to improve my article in a small-scale change, such as the flow or grammatical changes that can be made to improve the article. 

For your response posts, address the following:

1. Identify a peer’s post that discusses a large-scale strategy different than your own. Then discuss how you might apply that strategy to your work.
2. Identify a peer’s post that discusses a small-scale strategy different than your own. Then discuss how you might apply that strategy to your work.

Assume two construction sites: Site A and Site B. Based on the geotechnical report, the dominant soil type is GP at Site A and CL at Site B. The soil will be excavated before the installation of the foundation. Answer the following questions based on the information provided:

Q1. Check the table in Figure 2.3 in your textbook and answer the following questions:

a) Which soil categories do the soils at sites A and B fall under (coarse-grained or fine-grained)?

b) Describe what symbols of GP and CL mean.

c) Which soil type is frictional and which one is cohesive?

Q2. Answer the following questions regarding the excavation process:

a) For a shallow cut above the water table for installing the utility lines, which soil type might be able to hold itself in place without the need for support?

b) For a deep excavation, a supported system should be considered. You need as much space as possible at the site and prefer less clutter of the excavation support braces. Sort the following bracing systems starting from the most preferable bracing system: 1) Cross-lot, 2) Raker, 3) Tieback

Q3. A deep excavation will go below the water table. You need to keep the bottom of the excavation dry during the excavation. As a result, you might need a dewatering system.

a) Compare the soil permeability at sites A and B. Which one is more permeable?

b) Which site would you expect to require you plan for a dewatering system? Why?

Q4. A multi-story building will be constructed at these sites that require a soil bearing capacity of 4500 psf. To estimate the bearing capacity of the soils at sites A and B, check the table in Figure 2.6. 

a) Which soil type would you expect to have a higher bearing capacity (soil at site A or B)?

b) Assume a bedrock is located in a relatively shallow depth. As a result, an end-bearing deep foundation can be constructed. What type of foundation would the structural engineer design (shallow foundation or deep foundation)? Explain your rationale.

c) Assume the bedrock is located in very great depth (not reachable). Discuss the foundation type(s) that could be designed.

Understanding the various components of organizational development can provide important insights into how to best develop and operate schools and school districts, as well as how to work with teachers, students, parents, and other community stakeholders effectively. Utilizing the assigned readings for the course as well as additional applicable scholarly sources, complete Parts I through III of the assignment below:

Part I: Organizational Development Theories

Describe and differentiate between the following organizational development theories:

1. Bureaucratic Theory
2. Human Resources Theory
3. Scientific Management Theory
4. Classical Organizational Theory

Within your discussion, incorporate MacGregor’s leadership philosophy of Theory X and Y. As an educational leader, defend the use of one or a combination of these organizational development theories to develop a theoretical foundation for an effectively performing school or school district.

Length: 3-4 pages, not including title and reference pages
References: Minimum of 2 scholarly resources

Part II: Organizational Structure Movements

As an educational leader, defend how you would structure your school or school district utilizing the human relations and/or organizational theory movements of organizational structure to facilitate staff performance.

Length: 2-3 pages, not including title and reference pages

References: Minimum of 2 scholarly resources

Part III: Vision and Mission

As an educational leader, defend how you would utilize your school or school district’s vision and mission to support staff performance.

Length: 1 page, not including title and reference pages
References: Minimum of 2 scholarly resources

Your response should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards.

Scenario  It is your first day at the job in the information security department, and you are called for a meeting. In the meeting the need for strengthening the information security for the college is discussed, and everyone agrees that the first step in this direction is to identify the top five threats that are a potential risk to Aim Higher College.  The college’s administrative staff and faculty run the latest version of Microsoft Windows on their primary workstations, whereas students’ laptops may run Windows or macOS. The college’s web servers run on Linux; however, all other servers are Windows Server-based. Student, staff, and faculty mobile devices, such as tablets and smartphones, run on iOS or Android; all mobile devices can connect to the campus network.  Tasks  You have been given the responsibility to determine the top five threats that Aim Higher College faces. You asked your supervisor for support in this task and he gave you the following resources that might be useful in your research and analysis: 

    Microsoft Security Advisories and Bulletins (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/security-updates/)

    Common Vulnerabilities and Exposure (CVE) database search
(http://cve.mitre.org/find/index.html)

    Security organizations, such as Secunia (http://secunia.com/)

Your supervisor has also asked you to consider the following questions as you shortlist the threats:

What threats are new this year, and which have become more prevalent?

Why are these threats more common and why are they important?

What threats remain constant from year to year? Why?

What threats do you believe will become more critical in the next 12 months? Why?

What is the likelihood of an exploit affecting Aim Higher College, and which operating system(s)does it target?

With these considerations in mind, write a summary report of the top five threats to Aim Higher College. Briefly explain why you have selected them and what effect they might have on the institution or its students, employees, graduates, or other communities on campus.
