  Risk Management and ISO 31000 -...

  Risk management is a primary concern for any organisation. Its significance has only increased since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Organisations need to prepare for all types of threats, both probable (a server breaking down) and improbable (the office being flooded), to ensure that their operations can survive and adapt to continue with BAU (business as usual) in the face of a disaster.
  Yet risk management isn't solely about preventing negative outcomes, it is also about an organisation taking a known risk to uncover new opportunities to improve the organisation. For example, the transition of employees to remote working could risk an organisation's security as an employee could connect their laptop to an unsecure Wi-Fi connection. However, as demonstrated in the pandemic, remote working helped protect employees as the risk of infecting one another with COVID-19 was reduced.
  Read this pocket guide to understand how:
  
  - Risk-based management can prepare your organisation for future threats and therefore help the success of a BCP (business continuity plan);
  - To identify whether the opportunities gained from a 'risky' decision can outweigh the perceived threat;
  - The principles of ISO 31000 can help your organisation develop a framework for its approach to risk management;
  - The guidelines of ISO 31000 can be interwoven with controls in other standards such as ISO 27001 and ISO 9001; and
  - The organisation must continually review its approach to risk management to stay prepared for the latest threats.

  The Boys of Pointe du Hoc -...

  ""These are the boys of Pointe du Hoc. Theseare the men who took the cliffs. These are thechampions who helped free a continent. Theseare the heroes who helped end a war.""—Ronald Reagan, June 6, 1984,Normandy, France 
  Acclaimed historian and author of the ""New York Times"" bestselling Tour of Duty Douglas Brinkley tells the riveting account of the brave U.S. Army Rangers who stormed the coast of Normandy on D-Day and the President, forty years later, who paid them homage. 
  The importance of Pointe du Hoc to Allied planners like General Dwight Eisenhower cannot be overstated. The heavy U.S. and British warships poised in the English Channel had eighteen targets on their bombardment list for D-Day morning. The 100-foot promontory known as Pointe du Hoc -- where six big German guns were ensconced -- was number one. General Omar Bradley, in fact, called knocking out the Nazi defenses at the Pointe the toughest of any task assigned on June 6, 1944. Under the bulldoggish command of Colonel James E. Rudder of Texas, who is profiled here, these elite forces ""Rudder's Rangers"" -- took control of the fortified cliff. The liberation of Europe was under way. 
  Based upon recently released documents from the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, the Eisenhower Center, Texas A & M University, and the U.S. Army Military History Institute, The Boys of Pointe du Hoc is the first in-depth, anecdotal remembrance of these fearless Army Rangers. With brilliant deftness, Brinkley moves between two events four decades apart to tell the dual story of the making of Reagan's two uplifting 1984 speeches, considered by many to be among the best orations the Great Communicator ever gave, and the actual heroic event, which was indelibly captured as well in the opening scenes of Steven Spielberg's ""Saving Private Ryan"".Just as compellingly, Brinkley tells the story of how Lisa Zanatta Henn, the daughter of a D-Day veteran, forged a special friendship with President Reagan that changed public perceptions of World War II veterans forever. Two White House speechwriters -- Peggy Noonan and Tony Dolan -- emerge in the narrative as the master scribes whose ethereal prose helped Reagan become the spokesperson for the entire World War II generation.

  From Light to Darkness - How...

  The universe, with its vast expanse of stars, planets, and cosmic matter, is a complex and ever-evolving structure. At the heart of this cosmic web lie galaxies, massive systems of stars, gas, dust, and dark matter that are bound together by gravity. Galaxies are not random collections of matter; they are highly organized systems that exhibit specific structures and behaviors. Understanding the formation and evolution of galaxies is central to our comprehension of the universe. 
  The earliest galaxies began forming shortly after the Big Bang, as matter began to coalesce under the influence of gravity. These early galaxies were small and irregular, lacking the well-defined shapes we see in present-day galaxies. Over time, galaxies merged and grew larger, eventually settling into the diverse forms we recognize today, such as spiral, elliptical, and irregular galaxies. The structures of these galaxies are shaped by a variety of factors, with gravity being the dominant force that governs their organization. 
  Light plays a crucial role in understanding galactic structures. The radiation emitted by stars, gas clouds, and other objects within a galaxy allows astronomers to study its composition, temperature, and movement. Observing the light emitted from these objects gives us insight into the processes occurring within a galaxy, including star formation, the dynamics of the galaxy's core, and the behavior of supermassive black holes. However, light alone does not reveal the full picture. There is another component of the universe that has a more subtle but profound effect on galactic structures—dark space.

  The Monad Manifesto

  Dennis William Hauck

  As scientists probe deeper into the nature of reality, they are discovering that consciousness is at the root of everything. What we believed were the laws of physics and matter are really the archetypal laws of mind, and the condensation of consciousness that created our universe originated from a dimensionless point in the void known as the “Singularity” in physics and the “Monad” in math and philosophy. 
  In philosophy, the Monad is the single source of all things—the embedded matrix of both our present existence and all possible future incarnations. For theologians, it is the logos –the Word of God that created the world. In mathematics, the Monad is the root of all the numbers that describe Nature. In science, it is the Big Bang explosion of light and information from which our universe sprung forth. 
  By the late 20th century, an interdisciplinary science of Consciousness Studies emerged dedicated to solving the puzzle of consciousness and understanding the mysterious monadic origin of the universe. Most of the pieces to that puzzle are already in place, and we are just beginning to glimpse the overall picture. It’s not like anything we ever expected . . .

  Expand your mind and shift your vantage point on reality with Why Matter Doesn't Matter — a paradigm-shifting exploration of physics and consciousness.  
   
  Drawing on insights from modern physics like relativity and quantum mechanics, Samuel Avery builds a compelling case that consciousness itself is fundamental — and that space, time, and the familiar dimensions we experience are phenomena arising within consciousness rather than existing as an external physical reality. 
   
  Avery provides a new lens for understanding the greatest enigmas of physics, helping listeners transcend the limitation of seeing the universe as purely material and question the foundations upon which our current paradigms rest. 
  In the final chapter, Avery invites listeners to embark on an experiential journey — a practical approach to directly experiencing the dimensional nature of perception and reality as rooted in consciousness itself.  
   
  Whether you're a curious newcomer, a student of physics, or a spiritual seeker, Why Matter Doesn't Matter offers a paradigm-shifting exploration into the very fabric of existence, shedding new light on the mysteries of the universe and our role within it.
