The infrastructure which encompasses the network solution and security considerations is a major consideration for your company. Considering that the company will be expanding from one (1) floor to three (3) floors in the very near future you, as the CIO, are responsible for the design of the infrastructure and security protocols. You have been tasked with designing a network that is stable, redundant, and scalable. In addition, speed and reliability are important considerations. Assumptions should be drawn regarding network usage in relationship to network services and resources. All the established criteria that were set at the onset should be adhered to within your plan. The network solution that is chosen should support the conceived information system and allow for scalability. The network infrastructure will support organizational operations; therefore, a pictorial view of workstations, servers, routers, bridges, gateways, and access points should be used. In addition, access paths for Internet access should be depicted. Additionally, the security of the network should be in the forefront of your design because protecting your data is a primary consideration.
Section 1: Infrastructure Document
Write a four to six (4-6) page infrastructure document in which you:
Justify and support the relationship between infrastructure and security as it relates to this data-collection and analysis company.
Present the rationale for the logical and physical topographical layout of the planned network.
Design a logical and physical topographical layout of the current and planned network through the use of graphical tools in Microsoft Word or Visio, or an open-source alternative such as Dia. Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length.
Illustrate the possible placement of servers including access paths to the Internet, intrusion detection systems (IDS), and firewalls. Note: Facility limitations, workstations, databases, printers, routers, switches, bridges, and access points should be considered in the illustration.
Create and describe a comprehensive security policy for this data-collection and analysis company that will:
Protect the company’s infrastructure and assets by applying the principals of confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CIA). Note: CIA is a widely used benchmark for evaluation of information systems security, focusing on the three (3) core goals of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information.
Address ethical aspects related to employee behavior, contractors, password usage, and access to networked resources and information.
Needle exchange programs have long been very controversial. Read this amfAR issue brief about needle exchanges: Preventing HIV and Hepatitis C Among People Who Inject Drugs: Public Funding for Syringe Services Programs Makes the Difference (Links to an external site.)
Answer the following questions in your discussion post:
Do you think the advantages of needle exchange programs outweigh the disadvantages? Why or why not?
Do you think needle exchange programs should be funded with taxpayer dollars (federal or state)? Why or why not?
Please cite specific details from the issue brief provided above and other sources, as necessary, to support your answers.
Important notes:
Please write in full sentences, unless the question clearly states that it is fine to use point form for
the answer.
Please do not simply copy and paste sentences, phrases or parts of, in the answers to the
questions. This may result in grade of 0 (zero) for the respective answer. Instead, please
paraphrase or summarize (put into you own words) the material.

Given the very short length of the assignment, please do not use any quotations (which are – in a
sense – just another form of copy & paste, but with proper referencing).
The answers will be assessed primarily in terms of quality of content/substance, and how well
they answer the corresponding question, but also in terms on structure, organization and internal
coherence of the answer/paragraph. While no points will be deducted for individual grammar or
spelling errors, if an answer has too many errors that can impede the understanding of the ideas,
or lead to a superficial or confusing answer/content, it can be assessed as having a low(er)
quality of content/substance, and graded accordingly.
For this assignment only, because the sources were already provided to you and the questions
point to specific sections in one or more of the three documents, there is no need to provide intext citations and a list of references at the end.
Please prepare a 2-page essay for 3 question sets (6 pages max). You can choose which three. Read, and re-read the questions carefully, as you formulate your responses. Each essay is worth up to 33 points; make an effort to write in an organized and substantive manner to fulfill as much of the point total as you can.
Read, analyze, and write a 5-page paper covering the book Blink by Malcom Gladwell. The paper will focus on how understanding how we think and make decisions as a leader.

New Roman font, size 12, normal margins (1 inch/2.5cm), single spaced.
the word count includes only the text of the answers there is no need for a cover page
For this assignment, all the necessary materials are provided through the course page on
Quercus and also referenced in the text below (so there is no need to allocate any additional time
or effort for a literature search etc.). This step will also hopefully make the work on the
assignment a straightforward and predictable process, in terms of planning and time
management.
The materials included (and posted on Quercus) are: Chapter 2 – Shaping the City of the City of Toronto Official Plan (also available at
https://www.toronto.ca/city-government/planning-development/official-planguidelines/official-plan/chapters-1-5/) Chapter 4 – Land Use Designations of the City of Toronto Official Plan (also available

https://www.toronto.ca/city-government/planning-development/official-planguidelines/official-plan/)
The instructions and questions below show which sections and subsections of the three
documents to focus on in answering each question.
The assignment should provide a series of answers to the following questions (please make sure
to answer each question individually and to number the answers, so it is clear which question is
answered):
1. Considering the Housing Section in the Official Plan Indicators 2018 document, answer
the following question: What are the impacts of the number of residential units with 2 or
more bedrooms? Consider the implications in terms of demography, mobility and urban
expansion. (answer in no more than 125 words) (6 points)
2. In no more than 300 words, compare and contrast the 2.2.2. Centres (in Chapter 2 –
Shaping the City) (10 points)
3. What are a few reasons that explain the differences between infill development and
existing developed surrounding areas in Neighbourhoods (in Chapter 4 – Land Use
Designations) (answer in no more than 75 words) (3 points)
4. What is the key element in Avenue Studies that can influence and decide how future
development should be planned and implemented, and what is the reason for its inclusion
in this type of studies? (1-2 sentences maximum) (3 points)
5. In no more than 350 words, 1. summarize the main characteristics of Downtown and
Avenues (in Chapter 2 – Shaping the City) and 2. identify/list three differences and two
similarities (for the second part of the answer, it is fine to use point form: e.g. one line for
each differences and similarity; avoid a one or two-word answer) (10 points)
6. Consider the following scenario: by the end of this term (April), you will need to decide
where you will live for the next 10 years. Your alternatives are: downtown, avenues, or
neighbourhoods (either low-rise or apartment neighborhoods). Reflecting on what you
read so far for this assignment or other information in the three documents provided, as
well as based on your own preferences), choose one of the four alternatives and argument
your choice (answer in no more than 200-250 words; for this last answer, the use of first
person writing is fine) (8 points)
Important notes:
Please write in full sentences, unless the question clearly states that it is fine to use point form for
the answer.
Please do not simply copy and paste sentences, phrases or parts of, in the answers to the

For this assignment only, because the sources were already provided to you and the questions
point to specific sections in one or more of the three documents, there is no need to provide intext citations and a list of references at the end.
The topic is pretty much self-explanatory. Your task is to write an argumentative research paper on “Do we need an international criminal court?” Your research paper should be well organized and contains facts, quotations or illustrations from reference materials to support your thesis. These sources must be properly documented at the Post-graduate level (MLA standard). You will be penalized for not recognizing all sources that you use to support your research.
It is important to understand that an argumentative research paper makes a claim about a topic and justifies this claim with specific evidence. The claim could be an opinion, a policy proposal, an evaluation, a cause-and-effect statement, or an interpretation. The goal of the argumentative paper is to convince the audience that the claim is true based on the evidence provided.
**Be detailed and comprehensive in your approach**
A rubric and an outline will be attached to help you develop the paper, as well as ensure if all of the criteria are met and exceeds a level A+. Please, on a separate document or the text editor, complete THE PROPOSAL before you start the FINAL DRAFT. THE PROPOSAL is considered the rough draft of the work so I have an idea of what the paper will discuss/highlight.
In the end, I should receive THREE documents: a rough draft of the research paper (the proposal), a final, revised draft of the research paper I submit, and lastly, an annotated Works Cited page (as stipulated in the attachment).
This paper should be taken very seriously as it is a summative worth 30% of my overall mark. Please adhere to university or post-grad readability and writing devoid of grammar and punctuation mistakes.
If you do have any questions or concerns regarding the order, feel free to let me know and I will respond back as soon as possible.
