Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods provide a tool for project and organizational risk awareness and management. The tool may take the form of a set of user interface elements, a set of processes, and a risk management methodology. The tool operates to combine risk assessment experts and technology experts into a common approach or function. This assists in providing a realistic assessment of the risk associated with a project or task, including its impact on an organization as a whole. The integrated risk evaluation and management platform may enable consideration of the mitigation steps that are presently being used, that may be available but are not presently being used, or that are required or should be considered to manage a type or source of risk.

Abstract: Positioning system for coupling one or more members to a base, which may be used, for example, in an educational device including a mounting board and plates with numbers or letters thereon to be coupled to the board in predetermined positions. The plates and the board have connecting portions arranged in a binary code so that each plate can be placed in only a desired position. The connecting portions can be a plurality of pins on each plate and openings in the board, which are coded to represent the digits of a binary code. Each portion can have one of two configurations which represent the binary "0" and "1" digits of the code. The portions can have the same cross sections, with portions representing "0" digits rotated with respect to portions representing "1" digit, or the "0" digit portions can be displaced with respect to the "1" digit portions.
