This morning was not unlike many other mornings in my life where instead of waking up at the usual time of 7 o'clock, I woke up at 3 am. I needed to pee, I needed water, and I needed to wake up from an insane dream of me standing in temple reciting Torah, completely unaware that I was dressed up as Gil Faizon, Nick Kroll, from their Broadway performance of Oh, Hello.
However, instead of falling back asleep, I ended up wandering around Youtube until 7:30 in the morning watching several Vox mini-series, makeup tutorials by Violette_Fr, and old Watch What Happens Live episodes. It was irritating, to say the least. I was annoyed, tired, and restless, and then I realized something, I brought this entirely upon myself.
Four days ago, on the 16th, I made an announcement on Instagram, making everyone brutally aware of the fact that Mercury, was once again, in retrograde. I mocked the fact that this was so by announcing sardonically 'Happy Mercury Retrograde Everybody,' completely unaware of the fact that Mercury would be listening, and would punishing me within the same day.
Context: I announced Mercury in retrograde with a series of bees buzzing around my Insta-story only to wind up four hours later being stung by a bee, for the first time, on my tongue. Said destroyer of a perfect cappuccino flew into my coffee cup and hid within the foam until I, unassuming consumer, drank it, and was stung on the tip of my tongue. That day resulted in several attempts to scrape my tongue free of the stinger, stressing out about dying, and drinking vodka to numb the pain.
By day two I thought that I had already received my punishment when I decided to go out with some friends to a Mexican restaurant here in Austin called Lichas where I decidedly didn't order anything. Instead, I took a bite out of Morgan's mushroom quesadilla that, to my surprise, had peanut sauce drizzled in it. Drum roll…da da da da da da da dum. I'm allergic to peanuts. We left the restaurant, headed home, injected two large epinephrine pens into my thigh and doped up on some Benadryl and thus ended the second day.
By the third day, I decided to lay low, and I remained cozily inside my house for the majority of the day. By the fourth day all seemed clear, which leads me to the fifth night, and or, fifth morning, to which, I awoke in the middle of the night and stayed up all morning.
Three things happened that were seriously unfortunate within the span of this retrograde, and I fully believe that I am solely to blame for this undoing. I tested Mercury by mocking his backspin into a retrograde territory and thus, am being punished by the wing-sandaled god of communication.
If there is anything that I can deliver you on a silver platter before Thanksgiving is over and the general premise of The Giving Issue is finished, is you get what you give.
Everything is cyclical.
The universe is a bully.
AND Mercury should not be tested.
If you've been having a crummy end of November as I have, don't worry, we've now entered Sagittarius season where sunshine and rainbows live and retrogrades end. Maybe saunter on over to your favorite store and purchase some accessories and sprinkle yourself with department store glitter and get ready for December, that's what I'm going to do, so if the next few days you decide to follow me on social media, you might see Instagram stories of me rolling around the floors of Nordstrom trying to adhere the glitter to my body.

Pioneering Program to Benefit Cancer Survivors in California, Colorado, Maine, Nevada and New Hampshire
INDIANAPOLIS, LOS ANGELES, SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, WASHINGTON, D.C.: Feb. 17, 2009 – Tens of thousands of people surviving a cancer diagnosis may benefit from a new program being introduced today by a collaboration of health care providers, patient advocates, health benefit insurers and a biotechnology company.
Journey Forward (www.JourneyForward.org), which is launching as a pilot program in California, Colorado, Maine, Nevada and New Hampshire, promotes physician and patient understanding of the post-treatment effects of cancer. By facilitating the development of a survivorship care plan, the program aims to improve continuity and coordination of care for cancer survivors throughout their lives.
This first-of-its-kind program was created in response to recommendations by the independent Institute of Medicine (IOM), which concluded in a November 2005 report that "the consequences of cancer and its treatment are substantial" and largely unmet. The report says many cancer survivors are "lost in transition" from active treatment to survivorship, with few clues about how to manage their follow-up care and about the physical and mental health problems that may result from their treatment.
"Patients often have no idea what to expect once they've finished their cancer treatment, and neither do the primary care providers on their team," said Dr. Patricia Ganz, director of the UCLA Cancer Survivorship Center and a nationally renowned expert on survivorship. "There is a need for better post-treatment coordination of care and the treatment summary and survivorship care plan is a place to start. Survivors often don't know what kind of surveillance and follow-up care they need to monitor for disease recurrence or any late effects that may result from their cancer treatment."
"By providing tools and information to both parties, Journey Forward opens the door for improved dialogue between physicians and patients and promotes the coordination of long-term care for people with cancer. It also gives survivors a greater opportunity to participate in their care," said Ellen Stovall, a three-time cancer survivor and acting president & CEO of the National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship.
Journey Forward, a collaboration among National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship (NCCS), the UCLA Cancer Survivorship Center, Anthem, Inc. and Genentech, will distribute kits to health care providers and patients that explain the importance of follow-up care plans, offer tools for providers to generate these plans and offer interactive tools for patients to participate in the process. The kits, which are also available online at www.JourneyForward.org, are tailored to oncologists, patients and primary care physicians. Journey Forward will initially focus on survivors of breast and colon cancers as well as oncologists and primary care providers. The program will later expand to target additional providers and survivors of additional cancer types throughout the country.
"Anthem is committed to working with other health care partners to develop innovative programs and services that improve the health of our communities and consumers," said Angela F. Braly, president and CEO, Anthem, Inc. "Through collaborative efforts like Journey Forward, we can help physicians, members and insurers work together toward short-term and long-term treatment plans that help ensure the most appropriate health care services for each patient."
David Schenkein, M.D., Genentech's senior vice president, Clinical Oncology and Hematology, adds: "Improved diagnostic testing and new personalized cancer medicines have helped many people live longer lives. Journey Forward can help ensure that, after a person completes their initial cancer treatment, they continue to get the best possible care as they begin to rebuild their life."
National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship
The National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship (NCCS) advocates for quality cancer care for all Americans and provides tools that empower people affected by cancer to advocate for themselves. Founded by and for cancer survivors in 1986, NCCS created the widely-accepted definition of survivorship and considers someone a cancer survivor from the time of diagnosis through the balance of life. Its free publications and resources include the award-winning Cancer Survival Toolbox®, a self-learning audio program created by leading cancer organizations to help people develop essential skills to meet the challenges of their illness. More information is available at www.canceradvocacy.org or 1-888-650-9127.
UCLA Cancer Survivorship Center
The UCLA Cancer Survivorship Center's mission is to provide high quality clinical care for post-treatment cancer patients, provide information on improving survivorship quality-of-life, pursue cutting-edge survivorship research and educate the community on survivorship care and concerns. The center has become the focal point of survivorship activities at UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center and UCLA Healthcare. The center is developing models of health care delivery to meet the physical and psychosocial needs of cancer survivors.
Anthem, Inc.
Anthem, Inc. is committed to improving the lives and health of the people and communities we serve by simplifying the connection between health, care and value. Our goal is to help shape the impact each health care decision has on individuals, the health care system at-large, and our communities. Anthem's more than 42,000 associates work every day to help create the best health care value for our customers.

Jennifer couldn't stand it. Simply couldn't stand it. She could have screamed at the top of her lungs. She had wasted her time being nice to another person.
She had actually given up the last clean edge of that miserable tablecloth to clean one of this Amelia's wounds, when it could have been put to much more important use cleaning Jennifer's shoe.
Only, of course, to keep a ratty old homeless person from correcting a lie that provided an alibi in a murder case. But the smug bitch had already paid herself for supplying that lie, by stealing a phone she knew the beneficiary of that alibi didn't dare complain about!
People were so unreasonable.
Still… A charge against her credit card for a new phone or a charge against her for first-degree murder. It was one of the hardest things she had ever done, but she managed to twist her lips into a smile. "I'm going to have to leave now, Amelia…but I'll come back…and help you later…if you still need it."
Bitch looked even more smug, as if she pitied Jennifer for stuttering through her last speech. But how was she supposed to know what to say when pretending to be nice? Meanwhile Amelia even had the nerve to reach up and touch her lips, as if trying to straighten them out. "Relax, Sweetheart. You need not trouble yourself. I'll be okay." And, speaking of smug, there it was again, that beautiful voice. "You need not come back."
Oh, so that's it, she thought. Afraid that if I come back I'll have worked up the nerve to ask you to give me back my phone?
But no helping it. She had no choice but to put her inadequately-cleaned shoe back on, get to her feet, and head back to Martin's where all her precious stuff was. Including all her boxes from the storage space except the one Martin had sent her back for because he said he'd left it.
Martin… She was so proud of herself for persuading him to take her back. Good thing he'd killed that Frank so she'd had something to work with. Maybe things weren't so bad: It would be nice to upgrade her phone, and Martin would pay for it.
Phone… She was halfway down the block before she remembered just what she had on her phone. Stuff she absolutely, positively couldn't let anyone else see. She wheeled, not even caring that she scraped her shoe in the process, and started back to get her phone from Amelia after all.
Another homeless person… Out of thin air… Judging from his head-to-toe layer of garbage, she guessed he'd been dumpster diving out back somewhere. Tall, not at all humble, somehow very menacing… Standing between her and Amelia… Staring straight at Jennifer…
A cold shudder went up her spine. She pretended to check her scraped shoe, not even caring anymore when she discovered it was ruined. But she was trying to look casual, unafraid, while she strained to watch this tall guy in her peripheral vision. Go away, she thought at him. Go away so I can get my phone!
But he didn't. He just stared at her, starting to approach.
Another shudder went up her spine.
"Excuse me." It was that beautiful voice again. Amelia.
The tall man spun on a dime, arms positioned funny, like he was trying to be The Karate Kid or something, then squatted at Amelia's side. "How could I? How could I have failed to notice you and your need?"
Jennifer risked looking straight at them.
The homeless man gently examined Amelia's injuries with an expertise that suggested medical training, then scooped her up in his arms and started to carry her away. But he paused to look down at her. "Whoever did this to you will be forced to eat several dinners consisting of their own body parts before I allow them to die."
She could see that even Amelia shuddered at that one. But, again, Jennifer had no choice. She followed them. She just had to get that phone back. At least, she consoled herself for the time-being, it was password protected.

Marvel's Ant-Man claimed the top spot at the box office this past weekend but fell short of industry projections.
Ant-Man is a movie that some had doubts about. The character, after all, isn't one of Marvel's more recognizable heroes. Add in the fact that it was the launch of a new film franchise and you had some grounds for people to be concerned about the movie's box office fate. According to recent reports, those worries may have been warranted.
While Ant-Man still came out on top during its opening weekend, independent ticket tallies have found that the film failed to meet pre-release industry projections. Predictions had pegged the movie as most likely earning between $60-65 million during its first weekend. In actuality, it only managed to make about $58 million. Save for 2008's The Incredible Hulk, no other feature film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has performed more poorly.
Which isn't to say, of course, that Ant-Man's a failure. Despite missing projections, it was still the highest grossing film this past weekend. More important than that however is the fact that, when compared to other MCU films, Ant-Man was produced on something of a budget. The film only cost $130 million to make. In other words, even with its lower earnings it's already on track to make a hefty profit. All of that said, it still has to be something of a disappointment for Marvel, especially considering how well the also previously unknown Guardians of the Galaxy wound up doing.

Los Angeles - Zayn Malik is reportedly "smitten" with a Burberry model despite splitting with fiancée Perrie Edwards just weeks ago.
The former One Direction singer doesn't appear to be fretting over his decision to pull the plug on his relationship with the Little Mix star as it is believed he already has his sights set on snapping up brunette beauty Neelam Gill.
A photo posted by NEELAM GILL (@neelamkg) on Mar 3, 2015 at 9:46am PST
The 20-year-old stunner - who is Burberry's first Indian model - is reportedly planning to jet over to Los Angeles in the coming weeks to spend time with Zayn, 22, while he records his debut solo album.
A source told the MailOnline: "She is going to LA to spend some time with Zayn and see how things go from there."
However, the stunner isn't too sure whether she wants anything to develop between them at the moment as she doesn't want the "drama" that comes with dating someone famous while she is trying to build her modelling career.
A photo posted by NEELAM GILL (@neelamkg) on Oct 24, 2014 at 5:34am PDT
The insider added: "Neelam doesn't know if she wants all of the drama that comes with dating someone in the public eye ... She is serious about her career and doesn't want anything to get in the way of that but she has hit it off with Zayn."
Zayn has been slapped with backlash recently after it emerged he reportedly dumped Perrie, 22, via text message last month following four-and-a-half years of dating.
The former couple got engaged in August 2013 and were expected to tie the knot at Disneyland Paris in June.
And here's more pics of the beautiful Burberry model:

EVENT: DICK'S Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon 2014
EVENT DATE: May 04, 2014
Our Story
In March of 2011, Beverly's Birthdays founder, Megan Yunn "Megs", was volunteering at a local afterschool program and was helping a young girl named Beverly complete her homework. Beverly was asked to use the word "accustomed to" in a sentence. Trying to provide her with an example of how to use the word, Megs said "Beverly, at a birthday party people are accustomed to eating what?" Beverly responded, "I have never had a birthday party or a birthday cake."
At 12 years old Beverly had never had a birthday party of her own. Inspired by Beverly's story, Megs decided to start her own organization that provides birthday celebrations for homeless youth in the Pittsburgh Region. In June of 2011, Megs submitted her idea to the "BE BIG in Your Community Contest," a signature component of the ongoing Clifford The Big Red Dog® BE BIG!™ campaign sponsored by American Family Insurance and was selected as a first place winner out of over 1,000 entries in the nation. Beverly's Birthdays received a starter grant to help make Megs dream a reality.
Beverly's Birthdays is now partnered with 10 shelters (and growing) serving over 400 homeless children living in the Pittsburgh Area. Our goal for 2014 is to be able to say that we serve most, if not all, of the identified population of homeless youth in our city by throwing everyone an awesome birthday party and your donation supporting your runner is going to play a big role in that!
All donations raised through the Pittsburgh Marathon will go to support the mission of Beverly's Birthdays and spread cheer throughout the entire city, just like your runner will do in the marathon!
We can't THANK YOU enough for helping out!!

The Yankees beat the Rays, 4-3, at Tropicana Field on Friday night. >> Box score
Five Takeaway's from Friday's game...
1) Domingo German was cruising through four innings, but once the Rays lineup began its third time to the plate, things fell apart. German had surrendered just two home runs this season coming into the game, but allowed two homers in the fifth inning alone, which was enough to cough up the lead. German, who still got the win and is now 7-1, finished with a line of 5 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 2 BB and 5 K.
2 ) Gio Urshela continues to get huge hits. With an out in the sixth inning, he came up with the bases loaded and delivered a go-ahead two-run single. Urshela is now 9-for-23 with runners in scoring position this season.
3 ) Miguel Andujar broke a 0-for-18 skid with a sixth-inning infield single. He ended the day going 1-for-4, and has yet to record an extra base hit this season.
4 ) Tommy Kahnle is going to have a reserved spot in this space before long. Kahnle delivered another dominant outing, hurling a scoreless sixth inning in which he broke a couple of bats and then struck out his final batter on a nasty slider. His ERA is now 1.13 for the season.
5 ) With a one-run cushion, Aroldis Chapman stepped on the hill in the ninth inning for the second straight night. Chapman struck out two batters as he picks up his ninth save of the season.

Training Your Performance DogVariable Surface Tracking Test – Right Here in Maine
On August 5, 2018 at Colby College in Waterville, ME, Mid Coast Kennel Club of Maine will put on a Variable Surface Tracking Test. The test begins at 5:00 a.m. – yes, that's right – a.m! Track layers and judges have been out since 2:00 a.m. to put in tracks for those who are exhibiting. As you can imagine, it takes quite a dedicated and enthusiastic team of judges, track layers and other test officials as well as drivers for judges and track layers and hospitality people and dedicated exhibitors who travel from many parts of the United States for this test.
A Variable Surface Tracking Test (VST) is the most difficult of all the tracking tests. If you pass a VST and have achieved a TD or a TDU or a TDX, your dog has earned the title Champion Tracker.
According to AKC, The Variable Surface Tracking test (VST) is a test of credibility, verifying the dog's ability to recognize and follow human scent while adapting to changing scenting conditions. The test is to be as practical as possible while demonstrating the dog's willingness and ability to follow a specific scent given to the dog at the start of the test. The training and conditioning of the dog must be designed to develop the inner drive, motivation, and determination necessary for the dog to work with intensity and perseverance. The dog must show ability to work on a non-vegetated surface.
Tracking is a true team sport. The handler, to be successful, must have a deep understanding of his dog's motivation and commitment to the job. The handler must be able to not only read his dog, but to be able to communicate with his dog to accomplish the goal. In VST, this team effort becomes even more critical due to the difficult nature of the test.
Dogs have a very keen sense of smell. 100,000 times stronger than humans! AKC Tracking is a canine sport that demonstrates a dog's natural ability to recognize and follow a scent and is the foundation of canine search and rescue work. Unlike obedience and rally trials where dogs respond to the handler's commands, in tracking, the dog is completely in charge, for only he knows how to use his nose to find and follow the track. For many, the greatest pleasure of tracking is the hours spent outside training and interacting with their dogs. The tracking community is known for its camaraderie, and they all share in the excitement of a "pass" and the disappointment of a "fail."
Mid Coast Kennel Club of Maine has done a great service to the tracking community by providing more tracking opportunities right here in Maine. This year they are hosting 2 TD, TDX tests, one in the spring and one in the fall; 1 TDU test on July 29 and 1 VST test on August 5. Next year (2019) they will offer an additional VST test in August.
If you are interested in attending a test or learning to track with your dog, contact Mid Coast Kennel Club of Maine – call Kathy at 207-691-2332 for more information.
The tracking relationship with your dog is all about trust and creating a problem solving relationship based on careful observation and understanding what our dog is telling us. The end result of this kind of work is the development of a profound understanding that develops between dog and handler as you progress through tracking practice.
If you are interested in tracking, don't miss the opportunities provided by Mid Coast Kennel Club of Maine.
Hope to see you at dawn on August 5!
Carolyn Fuhrer has earned over 100 AKC titles with her Golden Retrievers, including 2 Champion Tracker titles. Carolyn is the owner of North Star Dog Training School in Somerville, Maine. She has been teaching people to understand their dogs for over 30 years. You can contact her with questions, suggestions and ideas for her column by e-mailing email@example.com.

Today I am presenting you with a book I read in one sitting. ONE. Granted, I had no internet to distract me, but it's still a lot for me. That almost never happens and that's how hooked to the book I was. I was so invested I couldn't put it down. Trade Me was such an adorable, fun and sometimes very serious ride.
Not gonna lie, the writing took me by surprise, I always expect NA writing to be just… there but this was really smooth and beautiful, while staying on the simple side. It is also personal –meaning both MCs have distinct voices that you can't possibly mix up- as well as charged with emotions.
I loved the romance, I really did, so so much and part of the reason is because I could relate with some of the heroine's action and most of the tension came from that. There was also a lot of chemistry going on between the two and the banter is easy and funny, the conversation flows easily with angst when angst is needed, serious talk when that is needed and fun and playfulness when those are needed. In my opinion, it was a perfect balance between all those things. AND THE TEXTS !! I lived for those little bits of conversation because they actually revealed a lot about their relationship towards the beginning than live interactions since they let themselves be vulnerable behind screens. One last bit about the romance, IT HAS A BIT OF FAKE DATING, it's not the whole plot but it happens towards the beginning.
Tina is me in so many ways. Okay, in one way: the "can't get hurt, can't get distracted so I flee" way hah. No, but joke aside, Tina is a Chinese-american girl who grew up/is still poor and although I can't speak for how accurate that rep is, all I can say is that poverty wasn't just mentioned and brushed aside, it influenced most if not all her decisions and how she went about things. She's really smart and pragmatic, and I really loved that about her, as well as the fact that she doesn't let anyone step on her, she stands up for herself and doesn't shy away from expressing her opinions loud and clear even when she's hella scared inside.
Blake, sweet sweet Blake and how I adored him. He's an asshole appearing billionaire but once he opens his mouth, you see how big of a dork he is and how he is down to earth and doesn't take himself too seriously. He's also cocky but not the insufferable kind but the sweet kind that makes you grin. What was different from the usual boy meets girl is that he noticed her MONTHS before they talked and has been crushing on her ever since and that was so adorable to read from his POV it just made me melt into a puddle.
Something I really appreciated about Trade Me is how wholesome of a story it is. It's main focus is for sure the romance but the characters have side stories of their own, with relationships that Milan doesn't fail to show and exploit the dynamics of. Even the side characters leavve a lasting impression because of how well fleshed out they are. Especially Blake's father, Adam, he's such a brilliant asshole and that was so entertaining to read, I couldn't get enough of the guy who teaches little kids to curse in his son's class, a son that he loves above all and he isn't afraid to show it. This isn't the busy father who doesn't make time for his kid trope, this is the father that drops everything and makes his kid his priority.
The little I got to read about Maria –Tina's best friend- I loved and I can't wait to get to book 2 to learn all about her and see her have her own cute romance and see how that one plays out.
That's it until next time.
Did you read Trade Me? If so, what did you think?
Hope you enjoyed, write to you soon.

Managing Risk in Pursuit of FDI Opportunity
In 1996, business in Thailand was booming, with headlines hailing the Tiger economy's enviable growth rates. A material part of that remarkable economic growth was the inbound foreign direct investment (FDI). Then came the Asian Financial Crisis in 1997, and the Global Financial Crisis in 2007. A decade later, Thailand is seen as a desirable destination for FDI due in part to promotion through the Board of Investment and initiatives like the Eastern Economic Corridor and Thailand 4.0.
Yet, Thailand's economic development is entering a new phase, and it is increasingly a source of outward FDI (OFDI), both regionally within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and globally. The pursuit of business growth, at home and abroad, presents enticing opportunities to put OFDI capital to work. However, businesses in Thailand should carefully plan and implement controls to mitigate the numerous risks that are encountered along the path to realizing a return on investment that meets or exceeds organizational goals.
OFDI Risks and Opportunities
The global economy continues to strengthen as the Global Financial Crisis shrinks in the world's collective rear-view mirror. Thailand, traditionally a destination of FDI, is increasingly investing in neighboring countries and even further afield. In fact, Thailand OFDI nearly doubled over the past decade according to the Bank of Thailand. The Bank of Thailand's data in the chart below also bear out some other noteworthy trends in the country's OFDI.
The comparison of the beginning and ending years' OFDI is meant to be an indicative glance rather than an exhaustive analysis of the time period. Unfortunately, a deeper economic analysis is beyond the scope of this article (those wishing to gain greater insight into these macro trends are encouraged to seek economic consultation).
Thanks to near-record low-interest rates and high liquidity, capital is largely available to pursue any number of OFDI projects targeting business growth. The key to realizing a return on investment is to make risk management a deliberate part of the investment and operations strategy. The complete list of threats is long, but below is a shortlist of the most commonly mentioned risks heard from businesses operating in Thailand and ASEAN:
- Reputational
- Political
- Regulatory
- Security
- Fraud
- Cyber
- Natural disaster
One might observe that these concerns are not peculiar to Thailand or ASEAN, and this is absolutely correct.
Proactive risk management involves developing an understanding of the risk context through activities like conducting threat assessments; reviewing or developing fit-for-purpose plans, policies and procedures; executing process health checks and audits; and undertaking due diligence on potential business partners.
The goal of proactive risk management is building compliant, resilient, and secure organizations. This deliberate approach to risk management is still important when operating in domestic or familiar markets, but risk management takes on even greater significance when those same organizations are considering an investment in a different country.
Building A Compliant Organization
Being compliant is more important and complicated than ever as OFDI can involve overlapping regulatory regimes that exercise authority over multiple sectors. Thailand's Minister of Industry, Uttama Savanayana, stated at the recent "Bangkok Post ASEAN@50: In Retrospect" seminar that connectivity and collaboration are global forces that must be leveraged for Thailand firms to grow, saying "no one can go it alone these days." Such connectivity and collaboration, while key, introduces additional compliance risk from joint venture and business partners across borders.
Due diligence is a familiar compliance term to managers considering foreign investment. However, business decision makers must not look at due diligence as a tick-the-box exercise. It is surprising how many due diligence checks on individuals or businesses begin and end with internet searches. It is not uncommon to hear a joint venture in another country is about to be finalized simply because the joint venture partner is considered to have a "good reputation," but deeper research often reveals a far different picture.
A few such recent cases involved American companies based in Thailand looking to enter joint ventures with businessmen in Myanmar and Cambodia. The American companies initially engaged those businessmen due to their strong commercial reputations in their home markets. However, rigorous third party due diligence revealed both potential joint venture partners were involved in a litany of illicit activities that could expose the American partner to reputational risk as well as Foreign Corrupt Practices Act violations.
Proper due diligence should go beyond public source searches of court, police and financial records and include research based on insights from people who have knowledge regarding the history of the target business entity and behavior of the individuals running the business. Business leaders considering such a joint venture may determine they have the risk appetite to complete the deal, but it is far better to enter such an arrangement with eyes wide open.
Building A Resilient Organization
Singapore's former Prime Minister, Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong, also spoke at the ASEAN@50 seminar in November. He declared "resilience" by design as the theme for Singapore's chairmanship of ASEAN in 2018. That is to say, organizations will be encouraged to take deliberate steps to plan and prepare for uncertainty and mitigate negative consequences, rather than rely on individual perseverance alone to overcome difficult situations after a significant loss has occurred. It is more important than ever to build resilience into organizations as greater connectivity and collaboration between Thailand and other countries not only generates new opportunities for growth, but introduces additional risks as well.
Business continuity and crisis management planning are at the heart of resilience by design, but they can also be some of the least well-understood and implemented risk management best practices. Business continuity and crisis management are all too often delegated as ancillary duties to a staff member who has not had the benefit of education, training or experience on these crucial matters. As a result, a business leader might discover too late the company's business continuity/crisis management plans are little more than templates downloaded from the internet with the corporate logo printed on the corner of each page.
A good business continuity plan should be based on a specific business impact analysis that elucidates the potential effects of threats to the organization's brand, profitability and strategic objectives. The crisis management plan provides a framework for responding to the threats identified in the business continuity plan when those threats transition from being risks to actual incidents. It is worth noting that even a good crisis management plan will not help much if the crisis management team is not proficient with using the tool.
To illustrate the difference between familiarity and proficiency, think about the following question: If you had a serious fall at home resulting in a severe injury, who would you trust to provide initial medical treatment and get you to the hospital located far from home, at night, during a thunderstorm? Would you trust your 16-year-old son or daughter who just received their driver's license and basic first aid training? Or would you trust the emergency medical services team who is well-practiced at using the tools of the trade to mitigate damage and facilitate a speedy recovery? Granted, few people wish to deal with crises as often as paramedics treat accident patients. Still, regular crisis management team training and exercises are highly recommended to develop the proficiency that will prove instrumental in protecting the organization's brand, people, and assets when crises strike.
Building A Secure Organization
Business leaders clearly value the security of their people and assets, without which they cannot operate. On the other hand, relatively few managers, save security professionals, have a comprehensive understanding of what is required to secure critical assets. When asked what security controls are in place, General Managers often confidently respond they have secure organizations simply because they have installed a video surveillance system or have a contract guard force.
Upon closer inspection, those same managers are surprised to discover the guards do not monitor the camera feeds because that activity is not specified in the contract. Furthermore, if the guards were using the cameras in real time, they would find some cameras do not cover critical assets, record unusable images, or are simply inoperable (in which case there is no footage available for forensic
Building a secure organization begins with understanding the threat context and vulnerabilities of critical assets. Greenfield investments benefit greatly from security-by-design where fit-forpurpose controls like perimeter barriers, access controls and video surveillance are integrated from project inception. Investment in existing operations may warrant a review to determine where security control systems may be missing or inadequate for the desired level of protection for staff or assets.
Finally, companies from all enterprises must endeavor to stay abreast of the ever-evolving cyber threat landscape. Southeast Asia and Thailand in particular, stand out as hotbeds of global cyber threat activity.
In fact, one of the most recent variants of the WannaCry virus uses Thai as its primary language. The key issues to understand are who might target you and what methods threat actors will employ to achieve their objectives at your expense. This cyber threat intelligence will inform the organization's cyber security program approach.
Taking Informed Risks to Seize Opportunity
Fueled by macroeconomic trends and government initiatives, Thailand OFDI is on the rise. Thai corporations and Thailand-based American multinational companies are pursuing OFDI to achieve organic and inorganic growth. OFDI involves risk, to be certain, but risk taking is a prerequisite to success and must be approached in a thoughtful and deliberate manner. Business leaders who are contemplating or currently engaged in Thailand OFDI should reflect on whether their organizations are secure, compliant and resilient. In practical terms, corporate risk management processes, policies, plans and procedures need to be fit for their purpose. This means designing risk management tools that specifically address the unique aspects of each business's operations.
If reading this article has created a sense of uneasiness about the state of your organization's risk management readiness, that is a good outcome. It is far better to question and verify that you are prepared to manage the multitude of risks that could derail progress toward strategic success than be lulled into a sense of complacency.

I've been looking forward to meeting Kayla and photographing her family for months. I say months because it was literally months ago when she contacted me after receiving a gift certificate at her baby shower. We had scheduled a session for July but the rain was so hard that day that we decided to reschedule. Finally, on a brisk but sunny morning in September we met at a beautiful property in Innisfil.
Kayla, it was a pleasure to photograph your family, and a wonderful way to spend my morning. Here are a few favourites from our session:

For partners that build or integrate commercially available applications and service solutions with the Oracle Cloud Platform
For partners that provide implementation or managed services around Oracle Cloud Applications
Apologies for the basic question but I just signed up for a trial cloud account and want to deploy a simple hello world node app to the cloud. Even Oracle's documentation seems dated as everything I find online references Application Container Cloud which I don't see in my list of trial account applications. Nor do I see anything related to Container Cloud. Does anyone have a tutorial or how-to doc that I could follow to learn how to deploy a simple node app. Thanks in advance for pointing me in the right direction.
Based on customer input, Can I scale in/out nodes in OKE?

I'm a newbie to Oracle Cloud, so I have no idea.
Thanks in advance for the help.
I have deployed a backed service and nginx ingress controller as a Load Balancer service as documented in https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/iaas/Content/ContEng/Tasks/contengsettingupingresscontroller.htm
I would like to know if there is any way we can preserve source IP on the backed Pod. i.e I expect to see that the source IP of my external client when the request reaches the backend pod via the loadbalancer and nginx ingress controller.
Any help is greatly appreciated !
Was reading by on connecting to DBCS from a container in OCCS and I see it requires to open connections to DBCS from everywhere (the rule uses a Source as "PUBLIC-INTERNET", Destination as "DB" on port TCP Port 1521).
This means the DB accept connections from anywhere, doesn't sound like the ideal setup to me ...
Is there a plan to add OCCS to other Oracle cloud services as "source"? A way to enable a connection to my DBCS instance only from OCCS containers and not the public internet?
Or is OCCS for now something completely separate from other Oracle cloud things and so better to not expect some kind of "intra-Oracle-cloud" rules for communication between services?
The question can be asked on both places, DBCS and here, but as you are the last to join the party... (as far as I know )
I am trying to create an App using Kubernetes Dashboard Deployment method. It is prompting to enter the following:
Enter the URL of a public image on any registry, or a private image hosted on Docker Hub or Google Container Registry.
Does anyone know about any sample container images( like a hello world or ngnix something that would display a sample Hello world page in browser) that can be pulled from any Oracle repositories?
Please suggest
Hi All
Are there detailed steps and explanations that show how to setup a private Docker Registry on Oracle Linux host ?
Thank you.
Has anyone tried to hide the Analytics section of the springboard? Kindly share the steps on how to do it.
Thank you,
I'm trying to SSH into my instance using the SSH connection string provided by the console. I uploaded my public key and changed the permission of the private key ($ chmod 600 ~./.ssh/id_rsa) but I'm still being asked for username and password. Any ideas as to what this would be or how I can get past this?
In preparation of Oracle Cloud Infra based Micro-services platform with Kubernetes as a reference standpoint , trying to consolidate salient steps to built a resilient MS architecture. We can explore setting up Istio sidecar implementation as well with this for better governance and delivery but this tutorial would be more focused from developer angle hosting a consistent infrastructure to create development environment with 2 worker nodes of considerable size for hosting multiple containers. Below is a basic block diagram for creating a Kubernetes Infrastructure. To understand more on detail of Istio over OKE please refer the attached link
The installation can also be done with clear articulated steps as per Helm Charts which helps to bundle and install almost all the required components.
Now, based on the understanding of the current version of OKE provisioned we could architect a below reference diagram of Kubernetes over OCI stack. The OCI Image Registry would contained the build docker images of the app to be pulled into the Kubernetes PODs during runtime while bringing the containers up and running, On left the control plane has been shown with Master node showing up the api server, etcd database to store runtime information of pods and scheduler which are the internal components and have been incorporated as the Kubernetes release by community. On right hand side we have data plane to host application containers and services managed by Kubectl tool as the Worker nodes. We have provisioned only two worker nodes in OCI OKE with optimum sizing to host a minimal spring boot based micro service app. The default Ingress Load-balancer also shipped as part of Kubernetes. The API server inbuilt as part of Master Node architecture is responsible for routing the requests from outside the Kube cluster to the pods through the scheduler selected by the runtime on basis of present snapshot in etcd store.
As a part of side car features there could be extra installation and configuration service mesh like Istio or monitoring tools like Prometheus and Grafana etc. These are all open source tools supported by Kubernetes community and provides lots of interesting features which also can be articulated in due time. Kubernetes has become a breakthrough inception for container orchestration with large set of features and capabilities and many vendors like Azure, Amazon, Oracle has started embracing and slowing maturing their stacks in a phenomenal diversification. Container orchestration has become very important in cloud fraternity to adapt to horizontal scaling, fault tolerance, automation and what more, The OCI native monitoring capability along with Kubernetes dashboard to configure metric and alters is also going in an interesting turn around to combine bare metal computation capability of vendor with global community driven Ops stack with many native options. IT is advisable to provision both the master and workers across multiple AD's to give better availability and redundancy as well within a region for a Compartment assigned to the OCI account of customer. In fact as Oracle document quotes below "To ensure high availability, Container Engine for Kubernetes creates the Kubernetes Control Plane on multiple Oracle-managed master nodes (distributed across different availability domains in a region where supported)."
Steps to Provisioning VM & configure workers and other basic installations:
Document link from Oracle is pretty straight forward to create OCI OKE cluster
Steps to Configure the OKE cluster:
To create a cluster, you must either belong to the tenancy's Administrators group, or belong to a group to which a policy grants the CLUSTER_MANAGE permission.
Once the cluster gets configured with all default setup we are now ready to create and deploy a service instance in the pod through the Master node of OCI OKE cluster. We can leverage Developer cloud services to build the code, create the docker image of the spring boot code from Job definition in CI-CD pipeline in Developer Cloud. Before that we would also create a deployment or pod definition configuration file in .yml which would finally been loaded approximately in a dockerized solution.
Now lets go in detail to help creating the pods from the My-Services from a OCI Navigation in left and connect to the developer cloud services provisioned from console. The developer cloud services with current release has been a phenomenal to create a complete native pipeline to build both spring boot rest api and UI services , create images and then deploy in OKE clusters configured with it's cloud native Jobs configured. A typical JOB configured in the cloud native build pipeline has steps which can be configured from console for docker login, maven build , docker build and push image to Registry. I am not aware if Oracle still allows to integrate 3 rd party registry which is needed for interoperability between various cloud vendors.
Once the image is built and pushed successfully versioned in the Image repository , the next step in the pipeline is to review the yaml in git for deployment and pod creation specific to Kubernetes shipped to specific Kubernetes vendor. The Kubernetes tooling has already been installed in Cloud VM in connection with master would now be utilized to sequentially create the pods with specific docker image runtime and provision in default inbuilt load balencer Ingress as part of Kubernetes setup . A typical docker image to build a spring boot api and create a pod and service to publish through Kubectl are sampled out as below. In developer cloud service under a typical project home all the artifacts and build jobs are organised so the specific user accessing devcs should have desired role for above visibility :
Docker File in Spring boot Project context root, with a poc to update db store in Oracle Autonomous db cloud would be :
FROM openjdk:8-jdk-alpine
VOLUME /tmp
ADD ./src/main/resources/Wallet_KXX /tmp/Wallet_KXX--- Wallet to securily connect the oracle db autonomous instance from a docker runtime
COPY target/FirstPOCService-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar app.jar
ENTRYPOINT ["java","-Djava.security.egd=file:/dev/./urandom","-jar","/app.jar","--debug"]
while the pod yaml to create a service type loadbalencer to register in OOTB Ingress with Kubernetes is as below .
apiVersion: apps/v1beta1
kind: Deployment
name: app-dbboot-deployment
replicas: 1
app: app
app: app
- name: appdbtest
image: ".............../firstspringpocdbimage:1.1"
imagePullPolicy: "Always"
- containerPort: 8099 #Endpoint is at port 80 in the container
name: CCCC
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
name: springbootapp-db-service
type: LoadBalancer #Exposes the service as a node port
- port: 80
protocol: TCP
targetPort: 8099
app: app
Now , the typical steps to be executed ultimately to bring into life the pods as and that with the mighty Devcs automation is as below :
echo "" >> $HOME/.oci/config
echo "pass_phrase=bXXXX" >> $HOME/.oci/config
cat $HOME/.oci/config
mkdir -p $HOME/.kube
oci ce cluster create-kubeconfig --cluster-id ocid.XXXXX--file $HOME/.kube/config --region eu-F>>>
export KUBECONFIG=$HOME/.kube/config
kubectl get pods
kubectl config view
kubectl get nodes
kubectl delete service springbootapp-po-service
kubectl delete deployment app-po-deployment
kubectl create -f ./PO/po/springboot_db_deploy.yml
sleep 60
kubectl get services springbootapp-po-service
kubectl get pods
This would be added as a Unix shell connected in built step and running below commands with kubectl . These are typical commands common to any K8 managed service by any cloud vendor and runs gracefully oracle as expected.
Once this run successfully the Job logs under the specific build would list down the URL endpoint in the console itself and we dont need to really login to oci cli and bother with Black screen syndrome. I would also like to provide some experience around publishing a nginx container with angular app running on it in same way down the line so let's be on. Now those who are interested looking for further contribution and challenges you are facing to adopt this might K8 by Oracle stack. , meanwhile.
Further , we have now used a Ingress-Nginx load balencer and using the service name which is created on deployment of the Pod could remove the dependency of communication between pods and services through IP . We would recommend to create pod deployment with service_type = cluster_ip and decouple it from OCI native load balencer. Rather , we would download an Nginx image as a reverse proxy in front in a pod and configure the routing rule to different backend pods from there. Optionally we can define a host in Ingress resource and edit /hosts/resolve.conf or update in Oracle public dns to expose it like test.Client_domain.com. I would like to preserve this blog link for all of us which can help in future

Since OJ's parole hearing last week, I've been back and forth on this. Part of me thinks Juice would make a great cellmate. But part of me thinks it could be a terrible situation. My goal is that writing this all out will help sway me one way or the other. And for the 3-6 people reading this, maybe I'll convince you of one side as well. So I ask again, loud and lucid, would OJ Simpson be a good cellmate in jail?
Pro – you stay under the radar. You're never the more popular cellmate. I've never been in jail, but from what I understand it's a major plan of action to attempt to blend in. "I just wanna do my time and get outta here". Ever hear of it? One way to stay under the radar is to never be first in command.
Con – OJ Simpson potentially killed two people. Though not convicted, he's far from a model citizen. And one argument, one nasty look, one bad day and you end up with your head splattered across the jail cell floor. I'd have to think you'd want your cellmate to have exactly zero ties to murder and/or violent crimes.
Pro – street cred. Assuming you can establish a good rapport with him, OJ Simpson seems like a loyal guy to his boys. If you can avoid getting suffocated in your sleep, you're very much on the in with OJ. And subsequently, nobody's gonna fuck with you if you're eating lunch with OJ. The fear he elicits and thus the respect he gets spreads to his crew as well. Again, I've never been to jail, but I'd think there are worse reputations than "he's tight with OJ Simpson".
Con – Is there such thing as a good cellmate? The whole ordeal of being incarcerated seems rather melancholy and desolate. Sure, when you're there you have to make the best of it and do what you gotta do in order to survive. But you could make the argument that no cellmate is a good cellmate.
Pro – the stories. The Juice probably has stories for days (or should I say YEARS because they're jail?). Passing the time is key in prison, and if you're locked up with OJ that man's gonna have stories to last a lifetime, maybe even a life sentence. And as we saw during last week's hearing, he's an old fashioned funny man. Nothing passes the time like some jailhouse laughter, that's what I always say.
Con – enemies. With fame and fortune come haters and enemies. If he's got em, you've got em. Rules are rules. Fair is fair. This is important.
Pro – special treatment. Celebs and high profile people get preferential treatment in jail. I don't care if you (may or may not have) chopped your wife's head off or if you didn't file your taxes. If you're of any status, you get hooked up in life, both in jail and out of jail. Similar to having a rich roommate in college, you get to go along for the ride sometimes.
If my math adds up, that makes 4 pros and 3 cons. This mathematical conclusion proves that OJ Simpson would, in fact, make a good cellmate; a suitable one if nothing else.
