Because the cause of the myelin sheath damage remains unknown, avoid the things that are rumored to be possible causes, even if it is not yet proven scientifically. For instance, several reports on aspartame (more commonly known as Equal or NutriSweet®, a chemical ingredient used to sweeten many sugarless foods and drinks) link the substance to a myriad of symptoms and illnesses including MS, nerve damage, brain lesions, brain tumors, headaches, depression, black-outs, forgetfulness, and other central nervous system disorders. For more information on this and other food additives, read the book Excitotoxins, The Taste That Kills, by Dr. Russell Blaylock. Eliminating all potential toxins going into your body can eliminate the source of what could be causing your problem. Some pesticides are known to be toxic to the nervous system, so search out organic foods whenever possible to keep potentially harmful pesticides out of your system.
Stress-reduction therapies should be incorporated into your life if you suffer from MS. Activities such as swimming, yoga, massage, reflexology, and other bodywork done weekly will help keep your nerves from overreacting and may help slow the damage in the nervous system.

Other MS Considerations

Black Currant Oil
Black currant oil is high in essential fatty acids, such as gamma linoleic acid (GLA). Research has shown that people suffering from degenerative diseases are low in these essential fatty acids, so GLA can help protect the immune system. Evening primrose oil has similar properties to black currant oil, but it contains only half the GLA. Flax seed oil and lecithin are also good sources of essential fatty acids, but they're still not as rich in GLA as black currant oil.
Fatty acids are required to build up the myelin nerve sheaths, and this is why black currant oil can be your best single herb for MS. Essential fatty acids also build hormones, which are required for many biochemical processes and cellular communication.
Black currant oil has helped many and has been used for these conditions:
➤ Allergies
➤ Cancer
➤ Candida
➤ Eczema
➤ Female disorders
➤ Immunity
➤ Mental and nervous system disorders
➤ Multiple sclerosis
➤ Obesity
➤ Skin ailments (all kinds)
Consider all foods and herbs that feed, support, and build the nervous system if you have MS. Vitamin E aids circulation and serves as an antioxidant, B-complex vitamins feed the brain and nervous system, and lecithin, cell salts, CoQ10, amino acids, and food enzymes have all been helpful supplements. Other helpful herbs besides black currant oil include liquid chlorophyll, black walnut, germanium, skullcap, passion flower, horsetail, and wild yam.

Multiple Sclerosis, Multiple Herbs
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease affecting the nervous system. The myelin sheaths that surround and protect the nerves become damaged, which affects the brain and spinal cord and impairs the function of all nerves involved. Unfortunately, I see more and more young people these days suffering from MS, but the good news is that I have also seen folks with MS recover and experience increasingly longer periods without relapse, thanks to herbal remedies and other nutritional supplements.
MS affects different parts of the nerves and brain, so symptoms are scattered and can vary. Symptoms generally include:
➤ An unsteady gait
➤ Shaky hands or legs
➤ Involuntary rapid movement of the eyes
➤ Spasmodic weakness
➤ Affected speech
➤ Blurred vision due to inflammation of the nerves behind the eyes
Now let's talk about some herbs that might help protect you from this disease.

Mullein and Mumps
Mumps is a common childhood viral infection characterized by swelling of the glands in the neck, fever, headache, and sometimes vomiting. The affected person usually feels sick for three to five days but remains infectious until the swelling of the glands has completely gone away.
If you did not have mumps as a child, catching the illness in adulthood is more serious and needs to be treated immediately. Mumps in adults can cause sterility in men. Some children get the mumps even when they have been vaccinated against it, but you can still help your child with some herbal remedies.
Mullein (Verbascum thapsus) is a common herb that's also quite recognizable. This herb grows up to eight feet tall and has stalks that are conical in shape. It has small, yellow flowers that bloom a few at a time and sit close to the stalk. Mullein can be found along most roadsides where it is dry, warm, and open and where the soil has been disturbed. In a pinch, a dried stalk of mullein dipped in pine pitch may be lit and used as a torch.
Native Americans used to smoke the dried leaves of this plant for relief of coughs. The tea also can be drunk, or an infusion can be made and applied to the chest to help break up mucus congestion quickly.
That's all nice and fine, but what can it do for the mumps, you ask? Historically, mullein has been used internally to treat mumps because of its affinity for the glands. You can take it or administer it internally to help with any childhood illness because it is a safe and mild herb. Apply a cooled fomentation of a mixture of mullein, lobelia, and white oak bark externally directly over the swollen lymph glands. Mullein also has an affinity for the sinuses and can break up congestion. The herb is very soothing to the mucus membranes, which makes it useful for dry, hot, irritated, and hacking coughs. Think of mullein for any type of chest or glandular afflictions.

Ginger for Morning Sickness
Ginger is highlighted in nausea and motion sickness treatment because it is one of the best, well-known, and most effective herbal remedies used to combat the problem. In moderate quantities, ginger is also a safe herb used by women with morning sickness. You can buy ginger root in candied form and chew on a small piece if you start to feel sick to your stomach; this has been a godsend to many moms over the years.
If your liver is a problem, or if you tend to be anemic (low red blood count), you can nourish your body with herbs that are rich in iron. Plant forms of iron include red beet, yellow dock, red raspberry, chickweed, burdock, nettle, and mullein. A dab of peppermint oil on your tongue can stop you from feeling sick almost right away, and peppermint tea or peppermint candy has also been used to beat nausea over the years.

Cure for Morning Sickness
Morning sickness occurs due to pregnancy and is usually caused by a toxic system, especially a stressed or overburdened liver. If you haven't had a chance to do some internal cleansing before you conceived, you will not be able to cleanse now, but remember to do so if you have a chance before the next child. In the meantime, let's take a look at some safe herbal remedies during pregnancy.
The leaves of the red raspberry bush (Rubis idaeus) are used as a tonic to strengthen the reproductive organs in both men and women. The fruit of the bush is used in jams, jellies, and wines, and you can take red raspberry leaves as a tea or in pill form. This herb is safe for use in pregnancy.
In contrast to pennyroyal, red raspberry serves as an anti-abortifacient, meaning that it prevents miscarriage. Red raspberry has been used to regulate hormones, as a tonic for the uterus, and also to tone the uterus after birth. The toning effect may be helpful for the prostate gland in men also. Some women have used red raspberry to correct infertility, aid labor, and ease muscle cramps and afterpains.
Red raspberry also nourishes breast milk and is rich in magnesium, iron, and niacin. It provides vitamin C and manganese, both which may help tone the abdominal wall and make labor less painful. This herb seems to have been made just for women who want to be moms!

Hormonal Helpers
For irregular periods, take vitamin E to help increase fertility and bring more oxygen into the blood; licorice root has helped some of my menopausal clients rid themselves of hot flashes. Licorice root nourishes adrenals, regulates menstruation, and helps the body to release excess water retention. Sip ginger root tea to help promote the menstrual flow once you do get your period. Dong quai has come to the rescue for many women and is used to regulate periods, ease PMS, help menopausal symptoms, nourish female glands, calm nervousness, expel retained placenta after birth, reduce hot flashes, and eliminate anemia.
Evening primrose oil has also been a saving grace for many women with raging hormones, has been used to help regulate periods, eases PMS symptoms, aids skin and hair health, and boosts the immune system. Try taking up to six evening primrose capsules daily 7 to 10 days before your period is due. Stay consistent. You will need to give your herbal hormonal helpers at least a few months to be able to correctly evaluate if your cycle is becoming regular. Patience and experimentation will be needed unless you are working with a holistic practitioner who can help guide you, of course.

I know it's my fault, due to over cardio exercise, I am suffering now shin splint. I've been doing a 1-hour (11kmh) cardio everyday for almost three weeks and I am now 3.5kgs lighter. But the fallback of what I did is now a super pain on my lower legs... specifically on the shin.
What is a shin splint? According to Wikipedia, "Shin splints is a general term used to refer to a painful condition in the shins. It is often caused by running or jumping and maybe very slow to heal. One cause is an overused muscle, either as an acute injury. The muscle pain is caused by any activity that involves running, jumping, also sometimes even walking, swimming, roller skating, or other basic physical activity."
Yes, I overused my muscle. For the last three weeks, I have changed my cardio routine from being on the alternate days to everyday. And now, I can't even run for 1 minute or walk for 5 minutes on the treadmill. As an alternative, I have divided my cardio routine to three exercises. Twenty minutes for Glidex/Rotex, 20 minutes for rowing and 20 minutes on cycling. I think I will not run for one month but I have to double my effort on my diet. But I still have to be very careful on my legs, thank God may dala akong Alaxan...

Project Development Stages????
Hi guys,
Sorry if this has been discussed previously but I've searched the forums and havent found anything which really answers my questions. I want to know what stages people go through when designing a course when having to use external writers?
The process I go through seems really tedious and takes much longer than I think it should. Basically I get some foundational content from a writer. This is often in the form of a "resource book" with no training aspects, no structure other than headings and way too much content and no assessment. If I'm lucky it might have an assessment book i.e. word doc essay question style. I then read through and come out with a concept of how the course might flow and then discuss with the writer. This can go back and forward numerous times before the concept is fully mapped out. I then go through the designing stage, production of elements i.e. voice overs, video development, flash files ect. During this I might have to go back to the writer for additional info but that is due to my lack of experience in knowing what I need fully.
I wondered if you guys had any particular way to structure the development of content. I thought about a form they fill in with course objectives, assessment critera ect at the start but I don't know enough about how this is done. I realise I can storyboard but I tend to do most of that once I have a concept and content to work with.
Any ideas would be really helpful.
Thanks all!

Analyze -- look at the materials and mind map them. Kathy Moore has a great way of doing this.
Design --Storyboard it and determine what pieces will need to be developed into an e-learning course
Develop -- create the e-learning materials
I - Implement it
E - evaluate it's effectiveness.
Hi Kat, In addition to James' post...
(ASSURE) - Analyselearners; stimulate; select media; utilise media; require learnerparticipation; evaluate response
(UVID) - Understand; visualise; idealise; deliver
Define clear design stages with the client via scripting/storyboards and outline a sign off process to agree clear objectives.
If you Google "Instructional design", you'll find a lot of info to help with the process.
What your actually lacking is the instructional design part.
SMEs or Writers interact with the ID/ISD and hash out all the content before the multimedia developer gets it.
If you don't have an ID, then your left playing multiple rolls, with a writer and a client usually not understanding why your so overwhelmed.
you also need to install "control gates" on your project. These are sign-off points to where a client or writer cant go back unless the budget needs revisiting for a redo.
The writer gives "bones" to the ID, the ID created the skeleton, the multimedia specialist adds muscle (builds module), adds skin (branding) and then delivers it to the client.
With this analogy, if a client or writer wants to break one of your control gates, its liek surgery on the body you just built. If you want to move the bones around, then all the meat on top of the bones and surrounding joints need to be revisited as well.
If you control the situation and use a proper waterfall method, you can cut down on a ton or rework and revisiting.
You got 2 choices, hire an Instruction Designer, or play the part of one and install control gates made of steel. Do not start the development until the content is hashed out.
Hi Kat
Sounds like the process is a little out of order. If information is pushing the design, it can be really difficult to design a solid product that actually does anything but carry information in buckets. And that's not a great situation to be in. Outcome expectations should drive solution decisions. The biggest question: What problem(s) are we solving today? If the answer is "I dunno", it's faster, cheaper and easier on your learners to put money that would have been spent straight into the paper shredder.
Here's a short presentation that shows our revised high level process (the conceptual sequencing shows up on slide 38). We do have a set of worksheets to capture artifacts and outputs at various stages. These are really simple (even if the process to discover the artifacts that go into them is not). Worksheets are attached.
Fortunately, with some minor process changes, I think you can still give the writer the impression that they are contributing energy early and avoid over-the-fence syndrome. By starting with performance and business requirements (a short paragraph describing what the organization wants to accomplish or realize and a short list of tasks the participant needs to perform) and following with an examination or breakdown of the covert tasks (this is where the power of digital solutions lives) and then looking at practice opportunities for the tasks identified you're really focusing on what people DO, not what they need to know -- yet. Content excavation doesn't start until we get near the end of the cycle shown in the graphic referenced above (just starting to look at content / information when we're outlining objectives and assessment items).
I've attached the worksheets we use. Again, really simple. But it adds formality to the process and helps to formulate outcome before we start talking about outputs. Outputs without consideration of outcomes... that's what sucks the success out of a product. The GOTS/COTS is done up front as a baseline market search. It's not intended to stop there.
We're working on a few additional worksheets to further tune the process. One thing we often see is a lack of learning problem definition. In other words, what's hard about learning this concept? Further breaking this down into a particular classification of learning problem can be really helpful when matching media and methods. Too often, media selection and delivery method selections are completely arbitrary. Basing these decisions on "gut" or "this is the way other people do it" leaves too much to chance, in my opinion. Science can make the arbitrary leaps much smaller, reducing the risk that a pile of steamy poo will be the only tangible outcome.
Examples for things that would go into these worksheets can be found here in our SOP ( See Appendix E).
Steve, as always, great information! I'm still reading through it - just wanted to throw out kudos on the valuable info!

Wow.... Great information as always.
As Dave notes we don't have an instructional designer which is the key problem. We are a small organisation which doesn't have a huge budget and so this has become a part of my role though I have no experience as an ID. I'm trying to learn as much as possible from the net but it's hard.
I've learnt a bit about ADDIE but not ASSURE or UVID but my problem is I'm still not sure what I need to do as the ID to make sure I get the right content from the SME. Steve your information is amazing! This will certainly help me, especially being able to show my management that the content shouldn't be the starting point and how much work goes into the process. But I'm still trying to get my head around all the information and I still don't quite get the early parts of the design process between ID and SME.
So a few questions:
- What do you actually take to the SME? Do you give them a list of objectives and get them to give you content? This is one of the major bits I don't understand!
- Lets say you are going to do a scenario situation. Do you design the scenario then go to them for content or the other way around?
Basically, using Daves analogy.... what is the process of designing the bones and skeleton between the ID and the SME. Who does what first?
Sorry I know this is stuff I should being studying in a course or something but unfortunately I don't have the time or funds so I need to rely on this amazing community!
Thanks guys!
Hi Kat,
There are two activities that I use all the way through the process:
1 - Align. The first step is making sure I have a clear understanding of the problem the client needs (or wants) to solve. Alignment happens on both sides of the contract signing. I won't provide an estimate for work that I don't clearly understand. I ask lots of questions to tune and narrow all of the arbitrary factors. After the contract is let, I'll schedule really short remote meetings at short intervals to tune the vision of the *pathway* to the solution. Not making any assumptions at this point about what the solution is going to look like unless I have a relationship with the customer. And even then, the only assumption I want to be making is that in the end we're going to have a solution that matches the problem and alleviates business pain. Until the final delivery, we're really never finished aligning. The more perfect your alignment, the more likely the product will meet expectations.
2 - Tune. I use collaborative sessions to walk through each stage of the problem with subject matter experts. You can see some of this process here. We use this process to work through the priorities and tune the each stage, further narrowing the scope of the solution.
So, the first thing you'll take to your stakeholders are questions. One of the most critical skills in design is asking the right questions. So you might open with:
- What outcome are you looking for? What isn't happening now that you think should be happening?
- In your mind, if this thing works perfectly, how will things be different than they are now?
- How are people contributing to this outcome?
- What are people generally not doing that they should be doing to reach the desired outcome?
- Do you have any people that ARE doing what you need them to do to reach the desired outcome?
SME's are really helpful at this stage to help align and tune the course of the inquisition. You're searching for the root of the problems. The *thing* that needs to be solved. Once you uncover that, building upwards with task specific details becomes much easier. These are merely starter questions. These should give birth to other questions as you're able to construct a model of what the stakeholder's needs are. You might ask questions like:
- Can you give me an example of a situation where you might produce this output?
- What cues you that you need to do that?
- What do you do after that?
- How do you know when you've done that right?
- What tells you that you've done that wrong?
Questions help you tune the model and fill out the web of tasks and decisions someone needs to pursue to successfully perform and produce the outcome. Investigate first - make design decisions later.
Without the right questions, all is lost.
An extension to the previous recommendation. Try to avoid using a single source for all guidance and answers. More than one person will provide a more valid sample of data (people at all levels of the organization or within the specific job target). The SME is also often not a representative of your target audience. SME's can have a tendency of assuming that everyone else should know what they know. There are a couple of problems with this tendency:
- Authenticity. Most folks don't need to know everything the most experienced guy / gal knows. This can lead to lack of focus on the stuff that's really important.
- The nature of experience. Assuming that we can provide valuable experience through a reverse vicarious method is a little funny People learn best by making their own mistakes. Some things just can't be learned in meaningful and lasting ways by being the subject of telling, asked to read, or watch.
Here are a couple of other resources. Some of these are quite old but may give you some footholds as you climb the peaks that are ISD / HPT. Some of these references are quite long, a little dated (though still relevant) and can be boring in spots. But it's all good stuff in the right context Don't look at these as "set in stone mantras" or mechanistic dogmas and you'll be OK.
This is a long tome that covers performance technology and ISD:
The documents listed under Training System Standard Operating Procedures contain some really great info.
Best of all these are US taxpayer supported, so they are pretty much free to use as references. Use away:)

Wow.... Thank you so much Steve. You are amazing
I feel your pain. figuring out your workflow for a project, keeping it flexible and communicating with clients can be a challenge...
this is my process map. You'll notice a couple of things...
When I say Information, Activity and visual design... I am totally using Tom's terms. Look them up in the blog if you are not familiar... Pushing the activity design first (why do users care or need this? ) and then information design (think outlining what you are going to do, before you do it-- isn't that what 9th grade english teachers tell you to do?) force my clients (all in house) to focus on why they are training not what they are training for... I have been dropping the Visual design conversations completely and will probably move it on this list. If you have seen some of the blog posts on not letting images drive the course... I can't agree more. If a clients says I want soccer a theme you get stuck.. and since I have no money for images... I don't ask what they want... in general anyway.,..
You'll also see that I get a script written and edited before I record a thing. And I get the PPT finished and edited before I start syncing etc. It is tempting to jump these steps, but then you have to redo work. It also puts the onus back on the client to ensure that the grammar is all right and they really like their script before they expect you to finish the course.
This is a work in progress and I would love to clean up my design notes about syncing and such. In general, the last thing i do is fix navigation and do syncs... ...Any feedback is always appreciated!.
Hope this helps...

The theory – first advanced by Auberon Waugh – that a person has to be emotionally insecure, criminally motivated, or mad to go into politics has always seemed a touch on the harsh side.
Quite a few politicians were as normal as anyone could expect to be when they first stood for parliament. It was after they were elected that the problems started.
Who, for example, can have seemed a saner, more grounded candidate for public office than Chris Huhne?
Bright, ambitious, with a gleaming set of acceptable liberal values, he seemed, when he first started appearing on Newsnight, to be utterly sensible.
Eventually, though, there was the speeding-points problem, the affair problem, the 12-months-of-lying-to-the-public problem, followed by the eight-months-prison-sentence problem.
That sequence of bruising humiliations would be enough, one would think, to bring a person down to earth. After all, a spell in chokey transformed Jonathan Aitken from a strutting Tory grandee into a modest, slightly dreary chap with a God hang-up.
Huhne's peculiarity turns out to be more stubbornly ingrained. He went on the Today programme this week to talk about why politicians are distrusted. His conclusion was that it was largely Rupert Murdoch's fault.
Huhne recalled he was the only frontbencher to have had the courage to support re-opening the phone-hacking inquiry. After that, it was open season on him in the Murdoch Press.
This was not "straight journalism", he said; in fact, down the years, Murdoch had used his media influence to advance his own business interests.
While admitting his own responsibility in a briskly dismissive, I'm-no-saint manner, Huhne directed listeners' attention to the bigger picture.
Lying politicians were not the problem. The problem was beastly journalists and their unscrupulous employers.
Admittedly, Huhne had a product to sell – he has started writing a newspaper column – but anyone untouched by the madness of politics would surely have waited a few weeks before portraying himself in print as a victim of "media aggression". As it happens, the written version of his argument on Today is a masterclass in the art of special pleading.
There is the weaselly deployment of statistics (300,000 people have swapped speed-points, apparently), an economy with the truth (his jail sentence is represented as "two months in prison"), some boastfulness ("If I was not in parliament to speak out when I saw an abuse, why was I there?") and a touch of old-fashioned nastiness (his high-achieving wife Vicky Pryce is described as being "groomed" by the Sunday Times, as if she were a callow 12-year-old at the mercy of a paedophile).
It is not an entirely bogus argument. Huhne concludes that politics, which involves brokering compromises, invites distrust by its very nature and he is right. It is easy to sound off in the Press, or on TV – altogether tougher to get something done.
On the other hand, the argument that Murdoch has abused his power to advance his own interests is somewhat jaw-dropping when it comes from a former energy secretary who has just accepted part-time employment with a renewable energy firm. It is also a bit odd that this champion of transparency should refuse to reveal his salary for the new job.
Huhne has said that a future column will tackle the question of unfair sentencing suffered by public figures and it is at this point that a worrying thought occurs.
Could he be about to make a show of excavating events from his own eventful and often painful past, in the manner of angry confessional journalist Liz Jones?
One hopes not. That might just work for the career of Chris Huhne but, not for the first time, he will be doing considerable harm to the fragile reputation of politics and politicians.

You can make this delicious DIY hash brown cups recipe for the future party that you are planning to have, for dinner even for bridal shower. Your family and friend will enjoy the delicious crispy exterior and also the moist interior. The traditional recipe is to "bake" the brown cups on the stove but with the help of an muffin pan (the good old muffin pan that can be used almost in any recipe) you can bake them in the oven and it will be much more easier: no smell, delicious cups. As I said the exterior will be delicious and crispy and the inside will keep that delicious Parmesan hash flavor and also moist. And in the end you will have delicious hash cups to make and serve. Now all we have to do is to head over to Monica's "The Yummy Life" blog and discover all ingredients and instructions do prepare these delicious cups. Enjoy!!!

Ty Longley, from Sharon PA, just a short jaunt east from here, has been added to the confirmed dead from the Rhode Island nightclub fire:
- The guitarist's name was one of 13 added to the list of fatalities on Monday, bringing the number of those killed to 97.
Longley, who joined Great White in 2000, took to the stage of the Station with his bandmates accompanied by a burst of pyrotechnics, which touched off a blaze that engulfed the venue in less than three minutes.
Nearly 100 fans were injured and taken to a local hospital in the town of West Warwick. As of Monday, about 80 were still hospitalized, half of those listed in critical condition.
The 31-year-old Longley was reported missing soon after the event, but his death was not confirmed until today. A native of Sharon, Pennsylvania, the musician was not an original member of Great White during its heyday in the late '80s and early '90s, but joined the band on tours three years ago.
Longley was planning to move in with his pregnant girlfriend, Heidi, after the end of this tour. His family was said to be in shock over the tragedy. They and other families of victims traveled to the site this weekend to grieve over the loss of their loved ones. [E! online]
To me this is still an almost inconceivable tragedy: 97 people killed because of radically poor judgment and no sprinklers in the club.

With the arrival of autumn, the vegetation will take coppery colors. The mushrooms should appear again, even if the end of August was already well supplied.

Our willingness to embrace digital and technological advancements is illustrated by 81% of the UK population now owning a smartphone, only nine years after the inception of the first iPhone.
One month into 2017, perhaps these developments are just part of the normal evolution of technological risks and opportunities for business operations. On the other hand, it may be a more dramatic shift, given the pervasive nature of digital adoption.
The mental model of risk – a different mind-set
How we define the problem often affects the solution. Risks can be seen as something to defend against – a clear threat, easily comprehended and managed. Some responses include establishing a secure perimeter, applying a logical response, setting clear direction, using drills to ensure any response is successful and adding a series of protection layers. These types of threats are relatively understandable and identifiable.
Another view considers threats as a mutating virus - a model of multiple viruses attacking any weakness of a system, with unknown risks until their (often catastrophic) effect is realised. The complex threat is often from multiple directions and can happen at any time. In this scenario, the unknowns increase the uncertainty, and consequently the potential loss. These types of threats are far scarier, more complex, and more difficult to manage.
Our evolving financial services world has far more of the virus type problems, complex risks that need a different approach requiring clear governance and collaborative expertise. This is the flipside of the fundamental business need to embrace innovations.
Complex risks for financial service companies follow the following themes:
- speed: the capabilities to deal with risks in real time
- data and connectedness: ensuring the organisation has the skills to understand the risk combinations and cross contamination of those risks
- behaviour: managing and measuring the attitudes of the people involved in the organisation
Organisations' evolving requirements for speed has a number of dimensions:
- speed of delivery - services and transaction delivery has been reduced to days, and in many cases access to information is in real time. Response time is critical and a source of competitive advantage. Relying on "batch" or "out of hour" processing is a problem for 24/7 services
- speed of response - threat identification mechanisms need to identify and react with an agreed and tested action plan
- speed of impact – when something goes wrong, the impact is instantaneous and often very public.
Speed means a significant increase in the need to quickly identify, quantify and understand the multitude of new technological and market threats to ensure an appropriate response. This response must be within the organisation's tolerances and must include designing systems to inherently manage and assess threats, real time dashboards and event driven monitoring.
Data and connectedness
Companies are increasingly connected to their customers, suppliers and the regulator through more interactions, which brings a correspondingly increased exposure to new risks
- Provision of real time services means the inner workings of businesses are more exposed which is set to continue with open APIs (Application Programming Interfaces). This is not just the technical aspects of company data and systems, but access to the employees, via social engineering, social media, and other phishing type acts.
- The interlinked nature of the web means that we are exposed to global digital threats, rather than national or local situations. Malicious software written in any region of the globe can be transmitted in seconds by an unthinking click of an e-mail attachment. The NY times assessment of USA election hacking is a serious wake up call for those not taking this seriously.
- There is a growing need to manage complex risk where a series of minor risks across different functional verticals connect to form a significant risk.
This connectedness requires a clear response in the automation of risk monitoring and analysis to deal with real time service across connected functions. The rise of regtech and risktech, applying new technologies to regulation and risk, is in direct response to these changes and as noted in the FCA regtech feedback statement, is something that will continue in 2017.
Successful management of operational risk is fundamentally dependant on the behaviours of customers, employees and suppliers.
- A clear risk framework is crucial to clarify risk ownership and responsibilities across each organisation. This clarifies the ownership and understanding of risk tolerance, the ability to assess the appetite and to take risks within that appetite. To find out more download Driving business strategy with effective risk frameworks [PDF, 1,780 kb] [ 445 kb ].
- Mandating behaviours to manage and monitor risks in a vast complexity of scenarios is a significant challenge requiring the application of alternative levers to achieve resilience. Levers including culture, the conduct agenda and the necessity to measure and evidence that company values are lived through all levels within the organisation. For more information download Managing operational risk – understanding the sources and minimising the impacts [PDF, 4,890 kb] [ 753 kb ].
- Behaviour of suppliers which falls into material outsourcing risk management and protection of value throughout the value chain remains a core area of risk assessment to ensure resilience.
The pervasive nature of digital technologies means the introduction of new risks into the operations of organisations, and not just "cyber risks" but people and process risks too. To deal with the combined, connected and complex nature of operations requires seeing the environment in a very different way and building resilience to respond to risk within this environment.

New Netflix Program Debuts with Vegetarian Trailer
Dawn of the Croods is a Flintstones-esque animated comedy that features "veggie-eatians."
December 15, 2015
The television adaptation of Dreamworks' 3D animated film The Croods—retitled Dawn of the Croods—recently released a trailer that questions the consumption of meat. The series, a Netflix Original slated for release December 24, follows "the first family," a group of characters from the "Croodacous"—a fictional prehistoric era when the "Croods" first came in contact with homosapiens. The trailer features curious teenage daughter Eep Crood—originally voiced in the movie by Emma Stone—interrupting her family while they eat a meatball to question why consuming meat is necessary. Eep points out that another character Bulk is a "veggie-eatian" and eats only plants, to which Gran, the off-kilter grandmother character, responds with, "the first veggie-eatian lived years ago." Other Netflix Original series such as Orange is the New Black and House of Cards have historically captured large audiences for the streaming service.

And that's really what we're talking about when we talk about globalization. Sure, Latin America, eastern Europe, and southeast Asia have all become key cogs in the world economy in the past quarter century, but China has remade it. Manufacturers have moved their factories there, suppliers have too, and this whole ecosystem has helped pull more people out of poverty than at any other time in human history.
The flip side of this happy story, though, is that it's very much come at the expense of American workers. Now, I know: ask any economist, and they'll tell you that this isn't the way things work. That people who have their jobs outsourced will, for the most part, find new ones that pay just as much if not more. And, to be fair, that was a pretty accurate description of the world for a long time—but not right now. Economists David Autor, David Dorn, and Gordon Hanson have found that, between 1990 and 2007, the American communities most exposed to Chinese competition saw their manufacturing workers pushed into persistent unemployment, their non-manufacturing workers pushed into accepting lower wages, and everyone pushed into relying on the safety net, whether that was welfare, disability, or food stamps, more than before. In all, trade with China alone was responsible for about a fifth of the manufacturing jobs we lost during this time—or 1.5 million to be exact.
The truth is that nobody knows why trade has hurt so much more now than it did before. Maybe it has something to do with low-skill workers being the hardest hit. Or maybe, as economist Adam Ozimek says, it's that people either can no longer afford or fathom moving somewhere else for work, so they get stuck in dying towns. Or maybe the simplest explanation is the right one: it's just that China is big. As in really, really big. The global economy has never seen a shock like China's rise, and never will again.
Now wait a minute. Don't Africa and India both have a billion workers who have or about to enter the wider economy themselves? Why yes, yes they do. What they don't have, though, is what has turned China into the workshop of the world. That's a single market, a single set of rules, and basically a single language. But maybe more important than all of that is that China has a government has invested in the infrastructure it needs to be integrated with the rest of the world. Think about it like this. It doesn't matter if you have the workers and the factories if you don't also have the roads and bridges and air and seaports to connect with the other parts of the global supply chain.
China does and these other countries don't. And the that fact that it does means that companies have not only moved their operations there, but the companies that supply those other ones have as well so they can give them what they need faster. It's what Paul Krugman calls the economics of agglomeration: specializing in a small thing can cause big changes, since companies that sell things to companies that sell things to companies that sell things to American customers will all cluster together. And that closeness will create cost advantages that pile up. So you end up being a lot better at something because you started out being a little better at it.
What we're saying, then, is that China had so many more workers and so much more infrastructure than any other country that has or possibly could join the global economy that it overwhelmed everybody else. It was too much too fast for, say, American factory workers to adjust to. After all, by the time they learned a new job, that one might have been outsourced too.
But there is some good news for American workers. What is that? Well, there's only one China, and even it is starting to disappear. Here's what I mean by that. Thirty years of a one-child policy has turned China's labor glut into a looming shortage. (That's why they just doubled it to a two-child policy). There aren't as many people moving to the cities as there were before, so companies are having to fight over workers by offering higher and higher wages. And that, in turn, is eroding China's cost advantage. Indeed, Chinese-made goods are now only 4 percent cheaper than American-made ones when you adjust for how much each worker produces. The result is that companies are starting to leave no-longer-low-cost China for, say, still-low-cost Vietnam—and sometimes even the United States. That doesn't mean, though, that manufacturing jobs are going to come back. They aren't. China took jobs that robots are taking now, just robots that run in the U.S. So where was that good news again? It's that higher wages in China means there's less downward pressure on wages in the U.S. It's true that other countries—in southeast Asia today and maybe Africa tomorrow—will keep wages from rising too much, but they just aren't big enough or have enough infrastructure to be anything like China.
So history might not end without people getting raises after all.

In 200 days' time, the United Kingdom will leave the European Union. The politicians have talked of little else for months, but chances are you may have lost track of what will happen between now and then.
And while lots of us may be sick of hearing the B-word, its impending significance is about to become impossible to avoid as we enter the final stages of the negotiations.
To bring you up to speed, here are some of the key dates Theresa May will have marked with red pen in her diary over the next seven months – and beyond.
The Labour Party conference takes place in Liverpool from September 23 to 26. Pressure is growing on Jeremy Corbyn from members and the unions to throw his support behind a second referendum – and the debate over what the party should do is likely to dominate the gathering. A shift in position, although unlikely, would fundamentally change the terms of debate.
The following week, September 30 to October 2, the Tories will meet in Birmingham for their own party conference, amid deepening divisions over the prime minister's Chequers proposals.
May will also have to endure the inevitable circus around Boris Johnson, as he sweeps into town and fuels expectations he will try to topple her and claim the leadership of the party – carrying out his own keynote speech to a 1,000-strong audience the day before the PM takes to the stage herself.
Against the backdrop of swirling leadership speculation, May – who says she's going nowhere – is preparing for the October 18 to 19 summit of EU leaders in Brussels. The meeting had been penciled in as the date when the UK and EU would reach agreement on the terms of Brexit and issue a statement on what future relations would look like.
But this now looks unlikely. Dominic Raab, the Brexit secretary, has admitted reaching an agreement might "creep beyond" the summit deadline.
The European Council could have to hold an emergency meeting in November to rubber stamp a deal if one is not agreed in October. If the deadlock remains unbroken, the December 13 to 14 summit is seen as the last chance for an agreement to be reached, because it will take three months for each of the EU member countries to ratify the deal in time for the deadline in March.
And no, the European Union doesn't budge on such important matters.
But even if she pulls that off, it is not as simple for May as reaching an agreement with Brussels. She will have to spend the New Year pushing the deal through the Commons – in what looks set to be a torturous process. Labour is highly likely to try and vote down the deal. And the PM faces opposition from both Brexiteer and Remainer backbenchers.
And if the PM can't get her agreement through the Commons? Well, that's all a bit up in the air. You might say making predictions about this stuff is a mug's game, but we'll give it a go.
One thing we do know is that outcome would fire the starting pistol on a fresh round of battles.
Labour, if it does vote down the final offer on the table, is likely to push for a general election (sorry, Brenda from Bristol). It's not clear yet which way the opposition will jump, but shadow Brexit Secretary Kier Starmer has said it will vote down any deal which fails to meet the six tests it has set out on issues such as trade, security and workplace rights.
And pressure is mounting from unions and many of Labour's own MPs for the leadership to back a second referendum. Jeremy Corbyn will almost certainly need to make some tough decisions of his own.
Meanwhile, hardline Brexiteers, fearless in the face of the prospect of no deal, will probably favour the UK crashing out with no agreement in place and trying its luck on World Trade Organisation terms – while trying to negotiate better deals with other countries.
A proposal to leave without a deal would need to be agreed by that December deadline we mentioned earlier, to allow enough time for everything to be agreed, and Parliament to hold any vote, ahead of March 2019.
It would probably mean the UK would leave the union immediately, with no transitional period. Opponents say this "cliff edge" approach would be a disaster, jeopardising the Good Friday Agreement in Ireland in particular, because it leaves the thorny issue of the Northern Irish border unresolved – and the Cabinet isn't keen on the idea either.
More likely in this case is the extension of the Article 50 process – which will effectively keep Britain in the EU until an acceptable deal can be agreed – kicking the proverbial can down the road, and essentially pleasing nobody.
One thing that's certain is the People's Vote campaign for a second referendum will enjoy a boost in its leverage – its champions will likely argue that if MPs can't make a decision, it should be put to voters to decide again.
Several large unions, as well as MPs from across the benches, have already come out in support of another referendum, including the GMB, TSSA and the Royal College of Nursing.
And on Sunday, as her annual congress got underway in Manchester, TUC general secretary Frances O'Grady said her members would "throw their weight behind" the campaign for a popular vote, should the final deal on offer fall short of one that protects workers' rights and peace in Northern Ireland.
But let's go back a few steps. Even if it doesn't come to a second vote, and May manages to pull off a deal that goes down well in the UK Parliament, it's not a smooth process over in Europe.
Any deal must also be backed by a "super majority" of EU leaders, representing at least 20 of the 27 remaining member states and 65% of their population. It must also be approved by a vote of the European Parliament.
At 11pm in London on March, 29, 2019 – midnight in Brussels – the UK will leave the EU.
But it will not be over. Another countdown clock will start making the time until December 31, 2020.
In this 21-month transition period the UK will continue to pay into the EU budget and follow EU rules while May tries to hammer out a free trade deal with the bloc – assuming she is still prime minister.

The National Lottery website crashed as thousands of people logged on to the site ahead of Wednesday night's £50.4m jackpot draw. The biggest-ever jackpot in the UK has prompted a surge in ticket sales.
Camelot said that they expected to sell 200 tickets an hour before sales close at 19:30 GMT ahead of the draw at 20:30 on Wednesday (6 January).
However, many hopeful punters were greeted by a message saying that the website was "temporarily unavailable" because it was "extremely busy". Users of the site were urged to "try again shortly" as the deadline loomed, Sky News reports.
Many will be disappointed if they miss out on the chance to be in the draw, which could create one of the biggest winners in the lottery's history.
If no one wins the jackpot it will roll over and either be won or shared on Saturday (9 January), Camelot said. If no one gets six lottery numbers on Wednesday or Saturday, new Camelot rules mean the jackpot prize will be shared out in the first draw after the prize reaches £50m.
Dr Rob Mastrodomenico, a statistician and founder of the consultancy Global Sports Statistics, said the record prize was the result of the increased number of balls – 1 to 59 – which had reduced the odds of people selecting winning numbers.
The previous largest jackpot was £42m, which was shared between three separate ticket holders in January 1996. The biggest individual winner was Iris Jeffrey from Belfast who won £20.1m in 2004.

The morning of August 1, 2014 will increase the chances of getting hurt when in a rush or ignoring the safety precautions. It will be hard to think logically and stay focused.
Intuition may be misguiding. In the second half of the day the situation will look up. You'll feel self-confident and in harmony with the surrounding. .
This is a favorable day for Aries' business and family contacts. You may interact with those who are aware of your affairs; you may discuss domestic and household issues (renovations, moving, etc.). Just avoid talking about the feelings.
Taurus should be more careful when doing regular shopping: the risk of confusion and deceit is high. You may end up buying the same thing twice due to your inattentiveness. You may leave some papers or small items somewhere. Most Bulls' wishes are inconsistent today.
The Twins' winning qualities on August 1, 2014 are friendliness and the ability to think outside the box. Qualities like duality, absent-mindedness, confusion in feelings and intentions can certainly become your flaws. Your attempts to cope with current affairs will be unsuccessful.
Being direct and pushy is out of the question today for Cancer. In order to get somewhere, be flexible and don't wait to immediately use a favorable moment. You may find a loophole to get to your goal. Try not to be led by your secret weaknesses and don't reveal them to others.
August 1, 2014 is looking promising for Leo. Circumstances promote sociability and inquisitiveness. You may show heightened interest in gossips and rumors, especially if they are circulated by women. When dealing with affairs, apply a diversified approach: give a full ahead to perspective projects and say no to questionable ones.
This is not the time to make important decisions and sign contracts. An alliance made today won't be sturdy. Despite its charm, Virgo's self-esteem is low today and it doesn't feel confident in its feelings and plans. The Virgins don't feel confident about others' reliability, honesty and decency, either.
Even the most pleasant gifts from above raise Libra's concerns. If you are afraid of deceit or don't feel as confident as usual, don't make any crucial decisions. Take small steps toward your goal and make a point of constantly checking your actions against the situation peculiarities.
Scorpio may lack confidence up until the evening - confidence in its partner, for example, or the future in general. You may be surrounded by riddles and intrigues. Stars suggest you should not be too impressionable - don't pay attention to others' occasional inconsistency or your own mood swings.
Cooperation and dialogue will be in Sagittarius' focus today. Lack of diplomacy may be in the way of mutual understanding. Someone may plot something against you. Caution will come handy in both official and personal affairs.
This is hardly the day when Capricorn controls circumstances - it is the other way around. Accept the rules of the game and things will instantly get better. Now is not the time for important strategic decisions. Try to be more flexible when it comes to small stuff.
This is the day for Aquarius to play, socialize, shoot the breeze and swap news. Excessive seriousness is obviously out of place today. No matter what you do, try to focus on the creative, intriguing or funny side of things. New acquaintances are like a magnet for you, but they may be accompanied by uncertainty and secret doubts.
This is not the best time to figure out who is right and who is wrong. Pisces should stay away from playing a part of a mediator and assignor. Interaction with others, even the closest ones, may be accompanied by mysteries, overtones, and elements of manipulation.

In the last years, APIVITA has been studying and using the infusions from Greek plants and herbs with proven and excellent antioxidant properties.

Figma accessories
Do you know any good places to buy figma sized accessories? Like food, table, chairs, books, anything really. I am sure that they are out there, as I've seen them. I wouldn't even mind being able to buy accessories that would have come from figmas. In fact, I would love that. So anywho, know a place...

Affiliate marketing is where you're rewarded for bringing customers to a business where they then make a purchase. Done correctly, affiliate marketing is a great way to make money with very little effort on your part. But you'll only make money if you know what you're doing. If you're interested in affiliate marketing but don't know much about it, affiliate expert Andrew Hansen has created a comprehensive course titled "Forever Affiliate."
Forever Affiliate is available to anyone who wants to learn how to make money with affiliate marketing. This is a video course you watch at your own pace. Each step is carefully explained. Even if you have no experience with affiliate marketing, this course will teach you everything you need to know.
There's no need to spend a bunch of money on the program just to learn more about what it involves. Instead, we're offering a free coupon for the Forever Affiliate program. Simply click the link on this page. The coupon can be redeemed instantly. Why pay full price to learn more about affiliate marketing? But you need to act quickly. We have a special deal with Andrew Hansen which allows us to provide you with this unique offer. Unfortunately, with an offer this good, we're only able to offer it for a limited time. So act quickly!
Affiliate marketing is a fairly complicated topic. Even worse, some of the key information you need in order to be successful changes on a regular basis. So if you're learning about affiliate marketing from older sources of information, what you learn could be completely out-of-date by the time you take action.
Andrew Hansen's course is different. The information is current. Plus, the courses are very clear. Andrew not only provides good information, he's also an excellent teacher. He has a pleasant, conversational style which makes you feel like you're receiving personalized coaching.
Andrew talks to you directly and he also shows you plenty of live screenshots. You'll learn exactly what steps to take, why you're taking them and what results you can expect. The entire course is divided into four sections. You can watch the videos at your own pace. If you want to learn in your spare time, you can probably run through the course in about a week. If you're super dedicated, you can learn the entire program in one solid day.
One thing we really liked about his program is that Andrew doesn't overpromise. Affiliate marketing can be tough. If you make mistakes, you won't make much money. Andrew doesn't try to sugarcoat any of that. Instead, he talks about all the mistakes he's made over the years. You can learn from his mistakes.
He also emphasizes that not everything has to be done perfectly. Instead, he gives you a variety of strategies to implement. If you don't use every strategy 100% correctly, that's not a big deal. You'll still have other methods in place to attract customers, drive purchases and make money.
The course comes with no financial risk to you. In fact, there's a "Double Money Back" guarantee. If you complete the course, create the sites and follow his plan but don't make any money Andrew will refund your money and give you an extra $100. This is one of the best customer service guarantees we've ever heard. You're guaranteed to make $100 at the very minimum.
On top of that, Andrew also offers excellent customer support. Even though the course is pretty clear, there's always a chance you might have a question. If you do, you can call or email the Forever Affiliate offices. They'll personally answer your questions and provide help specific to your situation.
The course is well done. Andrew is very knowledgeable and has an engaging teaching style. The customer service is easy to reach and very helpful. Plus, how can you not like a "Double Money Back" guarantee? Overall, if you're interested in learning about affiliate marketing, the Forever Affiliate course is one of the best teaching tools on the market.
While obviously copyright rules prevent us from revealing all the specific details of the course, we can give you an overview. First, there's the introductory segment. Andrew will greet you and explain a little bit about each segment. Since these are videos, you can stop the videos whenever you need to in order to take notes. A full transcript of each video is also available. The transcript is especially useful for later when you're actually implementing each step and would want double-check any of the technical information.
Then it's on to Phase One. Phase One is all about Initial Research. This involves finding products or services which you want to promote. This is an important stage. If you're trying to push the same products or services as everyone else, you're going to run into a lot of problems.
Andrew has a list of proven niche products you'll want to consider. These are goods and services which are underserved by the marketplace. You'll likely find many potential customers with little competition.
Phase Two is where you build your sites. Don't worry if you're not sure how to do that. Andrew's course will show you how to hire someone to design and host your website. You'll also receive instructions on how to hire a professional copywriter to create content for your sites.
Phase three is expansion. As your sites find an audience you can build on that success. Soon enough, you can easily find yourself earning a passive income of thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars each month.
If you want to learn how to make money with affiliate marketing, Forever Affiliate is the course to take. The instructions are clear and effective. But there's no need to pay full price for Forever Affiliate. Simply click the link on this page for access to our exclusive coupon. There's no risk! We wish you great success with your affiliate marketing ventures. With Andrew on your side, you're sure to do great!

I always think that my life is somehow similar to Singapore. Busy, with rapid changes and constantly moving, yet interesting. Where 'busy earning' and 'busy spending' are back to back. Where every little empty space is filled with unbearable thoughts of being somewhere else.
But then I came back there last week and saw it a bit differently. The city was less hectic and more homey as if everything was just meant to be there. It was strangely peaceful, yet pretty lonely.
As for me, the most important part of traveling is to experience, a journey inside and out.
More photos here on my Flickr. Have I told you that I've decided to upload my photos to Flickr only, and redirected oh.photos.byputy.com there as well? You're very welcome there :)

"Canadian companies need the right expertise from a partner that can bring clarity to the cyber security landscape, which can sometimes feel chaotic and complex. Together, Optiv and Conexsys provide expansive local coverage in Canada to help organizations navigate a myriad of products and technologies, and evaluate their infrastructures and operations to develop safer, saner and more strategic paths forward."

Bracket Challenged
UPDATE #2: The boy had a good run but the adult has taken over. My 8-year old had 30 winners and no Final Four teams remaining. I picked 34 winners and have 1 Final Four team remaining (North Carolina). Here's the problem, I have been monitoring the brackets, watching every game and stressing the results. I told my son he was leading last week and he said, "Leading what?" There will be no satisfaction for me when I win because, ultimately, his indifference makes me the loser. Parenting is more overrated than Lonzo Ball's big game reputation.
UPDATE: It's close but the 8-year old has the edge. Of course. He has 9 of the Sweet 16 remaining, 3 of the Final Four and his National Champion is still alive (UCLA). As for "Mr Know it All", yours truly, I have 9 of the Sweet 16 remaining, 2 of the Final Four and my National Champ has been knocked out (Louisville). Since the 8-year old doesn't care at all, even after making his picks, the question for me is do I tell him where he stands or wait until he asks? I'm going to wait and keep my shame to myself for the time being.
Am I smarter than an 8-year old? We're about to find out. My son Evan knows nothing about sports. Cares nothing about sports. Has nothing to do with sports. I have worked in sports my entire career. There was a time I could name the college of 85% of the players in the NBA. I issued my offspring a challenge – my bracket vs yours. He replied, "What's a bracket?" After I explained it to him, I had to negotiate equal time. I would play Wii if he would play along with my idea. Begrudgingly, I accepted. The DVR and Big Little Lies would have to wait.
I read the team names in the matchups and filled in his winners. For some reason, he has an affinity for Rhode Island and Vermont. He knows I, and others in our family, went to UCLA so he rode the Bruins to the championship. Ironically, I did not.
Here are our brackets. There's nothing like the prospects of a grown man being embarrassed by an 8-year old.

Surprise: Americans Don't Use The Internet for News
Nielsen released a report on the social media habits of Americans today, and guess what? It reveals that people mostly use the Internet for Twitter, gaming, videos and the classifieds, not online news. According to Poynter, Americans spend almost 23 percent of their browsing time on social media, compared to just three percent on "global news and current events."
While some of the categories are vague, and every report should be treated with a grain of salt, this doesn't sound good for online news sites. Maybe it doesn't matter what The Boston Globe does after all.
Social networking sites weren't the most popular though. The study says that we spend the majority of our Internet time — about 35 percent — on "other" sites. Yes, that means porn.

Hi Crohnies!
As most of you will know I'm only 14 weeks post surgery to remove my large intestines and have an ileostomy (most will recognise the word colostomy but it's a similar idea meaning I have a bag I poop into instead of doing my business normally) so I've not had much chance to be fashionable when my main concern is comfort… That is until very recently when I discovered these:
The Boohoo.com AMELIA ZIP FRONT PULL ON TREGGINGS £12.00 have been life savers! Not only are they high waisted which is perfect for supporting my ileostomy, they also are a thick material which means when the bag is empty or partially filled you can't even see it and no one is any the wiser.
I teamed these treggings with the grey MADISON ZIP FRONT CAMI also from Boohoo.com £10.00. The top is lightweight and baggy which helps greatly if your bag is pretty full as it disguises the bulge until you get to the toilet!
I found the outfit covered and did not irritate my new scars and both are very soft on my irritated and dry skin.
Wear with a hoodie and trainers for a dressed down look or add a cropped sleeve blazer and ballet flats for a city chic look perfect for shopping/lunch/meeting friends.
