proper risk assessment methodology to access the extent of hacking as an information system security threat             Globally, there has been an increase in the number of cyber-crimes including hacking, identity theft, copyright infringement, click fraud, advance fee fraud and computer viruses. A number of people and organizations have reported cases of hacking and loss of confidential integrity of their data arising from such activities. In 2016 alone, 3 billion Yahoo accounts were hacked (Sobers & Sobers, 2018).In the year after, there were over 130 large-scale targeted cyber-attacks in the U.S. and the figure is said to be rising at a rate of 27 percent every year (Sobers & Sobers, 2018). The purpose of this research is to guide on the choice of a proper risk assessment methodology to access the extent of hacking as an information system security threat. Qualitative risk assessment This method of risk assessment highlights interested people’s views and thoughts on the chances of a risk such as a cyber-attack occurring(Sobers & Sobers, 2018).

Interim report and risk assessment Literature review Overweight and obesity forms a basis of numerous health concerns arising from them. It is therefore hard to apply preventive measures and maintain the measures over a long period of time. World health organization estimates the number of teens and adolescents suffering from obesity to be around 41 million globally (World Health Organization, 2018 Pg. 6). Fortunately a majority of teens, 95%, now report they own a smartphone or can gain access to one (“Teens, Social Media & Technology 2018”, 2018 Pg. 5). This presents a huge potential for the innovation of digitized programs used to cut down weight delivered through phone apps. This proposed project aims at analyzing the effectiveness of a gamification-based  mobile phone application used to fight obesity in obese teens. This would take into consideration their perceptions and enjoyment of the app (“Teens, Social Media & Technology 2018”, 2018 Pg. 5). Current progress A trial was carried out in a primary health care clinic of an academic center. It was conducted on adolescents who met the following criteria. 15–19…

 The Opioid Epidemic             For about two years now several states have complained and raised an alarm about an acute reduction in the life expectancy of their citizens, which research institutes and organizations have associated with the opioid epidemic. This is a situation resulting from a rapid rise in the use of non-prescribed or prescribed opioid drugs. In the recent past, the life expectancy of these countries was roughly 78.3 years in 2016 a decrease of 0.7 from the previous year (Barglow, 2018). According to the available data, there has been an increase in the rate of age-specific deaths for young age groups between 2016 and 2015 as a result of the opioid overdose. Illicit opioids, as well as prescribed opioids, claimed at least 40, 000 deaths in 2015, an average of 107 citizens die daily from the overdose according to the centers for disease control and prevention (Dowell, Noonan & Houry, 2017).

White American Ethnic             White Americans are the Americans that descend from any white race group of Middle East, Europe as well as North Africa. They constitute the current and the historical majority of all the people in the US with an average percentage of about 72% (Wood, 1). The census bureau refers to white Americans and defines them as the people having origins in the original places that is Europe, Middle East, and North Africa. Also, the bureau asserts that the largest ethnic group of the White Americans is the European Americans (Minahan, 3). The aim of this paper is to research on the White American Ethic group, its power, control, and the effects of its tyrannical rule among the people. Among the white Americans, white privileges were established through the exercise of the white power over other individuals such as slaves as part of the culture in the south. Harkins, (1) believes that they were guided by the belief that the whites had equality in terms of interests in the maintenance of white privileges and the fact that…

 A virtual server Introduction A virtual server can simply be defined as the one that shares resources such as the hardware and the software unlike the dedicated web servers. Significantly, this type of data is mostly preferred because it saves on the cost of acquiring a many computers for each server. Instead, a single machine is integrated to accommodate dozens of virtual servers together. The main target of adopting a scalable server at the expense of the normal dedicated server is to improve on the performance. Notably, the more the virtual web servers’ softwares are co-resided the faster it works. However, experience has proved that installing too many virtual servers from the machine can lead to poor speed on the task being performed. A virtual server on the internet helps multiple website owners to access it anytime and administer it. By doing this, they take control and partial rights making them behave as if they are the real owners of the web server. Importantly, virtualization helps in creating opportunities to the website owners who claim to have access to those…
