Sexual addiction – Goodman

Aviel Goodman, M.D., proposed a maladaptive pattern of sexual behavior, leading to clinically significant impairment or distress, as manifested by three (or more) of the following, occurring at any time in the same 12-month period:

Sexual addiction – Goodman

## a need for markedly increased amount or intensity of the behavior to achieve the desired effect

Sexual addiction – Goodman

## markedly diminished effect with continued involvement in the behavior at the same level or intensity

Sexual addiction – Goodman

## characteristic psychophysiological withdrawal syndrome of physiologically described changes and/or psychologically described changes upon discontinuation of the behavior

Sexual addiction – Goodman

# the sexual behavior is often engaged in over a longer period, in greater quantity, or at a higher intensity than was intended

Sexual addiction – Goodman

# there is a persistent desire or unsuccessful efforts to cut down or control the behavior

Sexual addiction – Goodman

# important social, occupational, or recreational activities are given up or reduced because of the behavior

Sexual addiction – Goodman

# the sexual behavior continues despite knowledge of having a persistent or recurrent physical or psychological problem that is likely to have been caused or exacerbated by the behavior

Anarchism and education – Paul Goodman

Goodman believed that in contemporary societies It is in the schools and from the mass media, rather than at home or from their friends, that the mass of our citizens in all classes learn that life is inevitably routine, depersonalized, venally graded; that it is best to toe the mark and shut up; that there is no place for spontaneity, open sexuality and free spirit

Anarchism and education – Paul Goodman

As far as the current educational system Goodman thought that The basic intention behind the compulsory attendance laws is not only to insure the socialization process but also to control the labour supply quantitatively within an industrialized economy characterized by unemployment and inflation

Nelson Goodman

‘Henry Nelson Goodman’ (; 7 August 1906 ndash; 25 November 1998) was an United States|American philosopher, known for his work on Counterfactual conditional|counterfactuals, mereology, the problem of induction, Irrealism (philosophy)|irrealism, and aesthetics.

Project Zero: Nelson Goodman’s Legacy in Arts Education

Nelson Goodman – Life and career

He taught at the University of Pennsylvania, 1946–1964, where his students included Noam Chomsky, Sydney Morgenbesser, Stephen Stich, and Hilary Putnam. He left Penn because he was not granted the control he desired over the philosophy department. He was a research fellow at the Harvard Center for Cognitive Studies from 1962 to 1963 and was a professor at several universities from 1964 to 1967, before being appointed Professor of Philosophy at Harvard in 1968.

Nelson Goodman – Life and career

In 1967, at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, he was the founding director of Harvard Project Zero, a basic research project in artistic cognition and artistic education. He remained the director for four years and served as an informal adviser for many years thereafter.Gardner, H., and Perkins, D. The Mark of Zero: Project Zero’s Identity Revealed. HGSE Alumni Bulletin, December 1994 39(1), 2–6.

Nelson Goodman – Life and career

Goodman died in Needham, Massachusetts.

Nelson Goodman – Induction and grue

Goodman argued, however, that Hume overlooked the fact that some regularities establish habits (a given piece of copper conducting electricity increases the credibility of statements asserting that other pieces of copper conduct electricity) while some do not (the fact that a given man in a room is a third son does not increase the credibility of statements asserting that other men in this room are third sons)

Nelson Goodman – Induction and grue

Goodman’s famous counterargument was to introduce the predicate Grue and bleen|grue, which applies to all things examined before a certain time t just in case they are green, but also to other things just in case they are blue and not examined before time t

Nelson Goodman – Induction and grue

Goodman’s example showed that the difficulty in determining what constitutes law-like statements is far greater than previously thought, and that once again we find ourselves facing the initial dilemma that anything can confirm anything.

Nelson Goodman – Nominalism and mereology

Quine, Goodman ceased to trouble himself with finding a way to reconstruct mathematics while dispensing with set theory – discredited as sole foundations of mathematics as of 1913 (Russell/Whitehead)

Nelson Goodman – Nominalism and mereology

The program of David Hilbert to reconstruct it from logical axioms was proven futile in 1936 by Gödel. Because of this and other failures of seemingly fruitful lines of research,

Nelson Goodman – Nominalism and mereology

Quine soon came to believe that such a reconstruction was impossible, but Goodman’s Penn colleague Richard Milton Martin argued otherwise, writing a number of papers suggesting ways forward.

Nelson Goodman – Nominalism and mereology

According to Thomas Tymoczko’s afterword in New directions in the philosophy of mathematics, Quine had urged that we abandon ad hoc devices distinguishing mathematics from science and just accept the resulting assimilation, putting the key burden on the theories (networks of sentences) that we accept, not on the individual sentences whose significance can change dramatically depending on their theoretical context

While the exposition in Goodman and Leonard invoked a bit of naive set theory, the variant of the calculus of individuals that grounds Goodman’s 1951 The Structure of Appearance, a revision and extension of his Ph.D

Problem of induction – Nelson Goodman’s New Problem of Induction

Goodman proposed a new predicate, grue (color)|grue

Problem of induction – Nelson Goodman’s New Problem of Induction

– Given the observations of a lot of green emeralds, someone using a common language will inductively infer that all emeralds are green (therefore, he will believe that any emerald he will find will be green, even after T).

Problem of induction – Nelson Goodman’s New Problem of Induction

– Given the same set of observations of green emeralds, someone using the predicate grue will inductively infer that all emeralds, which will be observed after T, will be blue, despite the fact that he observed only green emeralds so far.

Problem of induction – Nelson Goodman’s New Problem of Induction

Goodman, however, points out that the predicate grue only appears more complex than the predicate green because we have defined grue in terms of blue and green. If we had always been brought up to think in terms of grue and bleen (where bleen is blue before time T, or green thereafter), we would intuitively consider green to be a crazy and complicated predicate. Goodman believed that which scientific hypotheses we favour depend on which predicates are entrenched in our language.

Problem of induction – Nelson Goodman’s New Problem of Induction

Willard Van Orman Quine|W.V.O. Quine offers a practicable solution to this problem Reprinted in: Quine (1969), Ontological Relativity and Other Essays, Ch. 5. by making the metaphysics|metaphysical claim that only predicates that identify a natural kind (i.e. a real property of real things) can be legitimately used in a scientific hypothesis.

Paul Goodman (writer)

The author of dozens of books including Growing Up Absurd and The Community of Scholars, Goodman was an activist on the pacifist Left in the 1960s and a frequently cited inspiration to the student movement of that decade

His brother Percival Goodman, with whom Paul frequently worked, was an architect especially noted for his many synagogue designs.Michael Z

Paul Goodman (writer) – Early life

As a child, Goodman freely roamed the streets and public libraries of his native New York City, experiences which later inspired his radical concept of the educative city. He graduated from The City College of New York in 1932 and completed his Ph.D. work at the University of Chicago in 193[9?]. (He was not officially awarded his Ph.D. until 1953, for a dissertation which was later published by the University of Chicago Press as The Structure of Literature.)

Paul Goodman (writer) – Early life

In 1940, Goodman was removed from his University of Chicago faculty position for issues pertaining to his open bisexuality and affairs with students.

Paul Goodman (writer) – Career

Goodman was a prolific writer of essays, fiction, plays, and poetry. Although he began writing short stories by 1932, his first novel, The Grand Piano, was not published until 1942. It was later subsumed as Book One of his longest novel, The Empire City, which he continued to publish in sections until it was finally issued in one volume by Bobbs-Merrill in 1959.

A year later, Goodman would become one of the Group of Seven – Fritz and Laura Perls, Isadore From, Goodman, Elliot Shapiro, Paul Weiss, Richard Kitzler – who were the founding members of the New York Institute for Gestalt Therapy.

Paul Goodman (writer) – Career

In an interview with Studs Terkel, Goodman said I might seem to have a number of divergent interests — community planning, psychotherapy, education, politics — but they are all one concern: how to make it possible to grow up as a human being into a culture without losing nature

Paul Goodman (writer) – Career

He was equally at home with the avant-garde and with Classical antiquity|classical texts, and his fiction often mixes formal and experimental styles. The style and subject matter of Goodman’s short stories influenced those of Guy Davenport .

Paul Goodman (writer) – Career

In 1967, Goodman’s son Matthew died in a mountain climbing accident. Paul’s friends claimed that he never recovered from the resulting grief, and his health began to deteriorate. He died of a heart attack at his farm in New Hampshire just before his 61st birthday. He was survived by his second wife, Sally, as well as two daughters.

Paul Goodman (writer) – Thought

While Goodman himself described his politics as anarchist, his love as bisexuality|bisexual, and his profession as that of man of letters, Hayden Carruth wrote Any page of Paul Goodman will give you not only originality and brilliance but wisdom — that is, something to think about. He is our peculiar, urban, twentieth-century Henry David Thoreau|Thoreau, the quintessential American mind of our time.

Paul Goodman (writer) – On education

Instead of requiring students to succumb to the theoretical drudgery of textbook learning, Goodman recommends that education be transferred into factories, museums, parks, department stores, etc., where the students can actively participate in their education..

Paul Goodman (writer) – Radical politics

In drawing this parallel between young people’s socio-historical consciousness and their political activism, Goodman made an early contribution to the argument that the philosophical underpinnings of the New Left were largely informed by postwar disenchantment with Age of Enlightenment|Enlightenment conceptions of science, technology, truth, knowledge, and power relations.

Paul Goodman (writer) – Radical politics

For instance, after a hostile exchange with student radicals who had heckled him heatedly and rudely at a campus appearance in 1967, Goodman wrote, suddenly I realized that they did not believe there was a nature of things

Paul Goodman (writer) – Radical politics

After a life of revolutionary revelry and social criticism, Goodman’s likening of the youth revolt in the 1960s to the Protestant Reformation of 1517 made up the crux of his belief about American modernity in the late 1960s: It is evident that, at present, we are not going to give up the mass faith in scientific technology that is the religion of modern times; and yet we cannot continue with it, as it has been perverted. So I look for a ‘New Reformation.’

Paul Goodman (writer) – Radical politics

Goodman’s views on politics, social psychology, and society could be usefully compared and contrasted with those of fellow attendees Herbert Marcuse and R

In 1968, Goodman signed the “Writers and Editors War Tax Protest” pledge, vowing to refuse tax payments in protest against the Vietnam War.“Writers and Editors War Tax Protest” January 30, 1968 New York Post

Paul Goodman (writer) – Bisexuality

The freedom with which he revealed, in print and in public, his romantic and sexual relations with men (notably in a late essay, Being Queer), proved to be one of the many important cultural springboards for the emerging gay liberation movement of the early 1970s. He viewed sexual relationships between males as natural, normal, and healthy.

Paul Goodman (writer) – Bisexuality

In discussing his own sexual relationships, he acknowledged that public opinion would condemn him, but countered that what is really obscene is the way our society makes us feel shameful and like criminals for doing human things that we really need.

Paul Goodman (writer) – Quotations

* It is by losing ourselves in inquiry, creation craft that we become something. Civilization is a continual gift of spirit: inventions, discoveries, insight, art. We are citizens, as Socrates would have said, we have it available as our own.

Paul Goodman (writer) – Quotations

Paul Goodman (writer) – Quotations

Saul Goodman

His made up surname Goodman is a play on words to better attract clients: ‘S’all good, man! becomes Saul Goodman

Saul Goodman – Background

Upon first meeting Walt (who introduces himself as Mr. Mayhew), Saul explains his real name is not Goodman, and he is actually Ireland|Irish. He says, Faith and begorrah! A fellow potato eater! My real name’s McGill. The Jew thing I just do for the homeboys. They all want a pipe-hitting member of the tribe, so to speak…

Saul Goodman – Background

Saul has had multiple wives in the past, one of whom he caught having sexual intercourse|sex with his stepfather. At a certain point, he developed a romantic relationship with his secretary, albeit short-lived.

Saul Goodman – Background

He has a highly stylized office in a cheap strip mall

Saul Goodman – Background

Little is known of Saul’s legal education. In one episode, a diploma is shown in Saul’s office, indicating that Saul Goodman holds a Master of Arts degree in Political Science from the University of American Samoa. However, this is a fake credential, as there is no such educational institution, and Saul’s last name is actually McGill.

Saul Goodman – Background

Saul is introduced in the season 2 episode Better Call Saul (Breaking Bad)|Better Call Saul, following Badger Mayhew|Badger’s arrest for selling meth

Saul Goodman – Season 2

Following Badger’s arrest for selling meth, Walt and Jesse contact Saul for legal representation, as Jesse knew him from successfully defending List_of_Breaking_Bad_characters#Emilio_Koyama|Emilio twice, and getting him released almost immediately from jail

Saul Goodman – Season 2

Walt and Jesse then take more desperate measures, kidnapping Saul and taking him to the desert to threaten him into keeping Badger from testifying. However, Saul quickly points out it would make more sense to kill Badger in prison, but Walt and Jesse reject this solution.

Young Goodman Brown

In a symbolic fashion, the story follows Young Goodman Brown’s journey into self-scrutiny, which results in his loss of virtue and faith.

Young Goodman Brown – Plot summary

The story begins at dusk in Salem, Massachusetts|Salem, Massachusetts, as young Goodman (title)|Goodman Brown leaves Faith, his wife of three months, for an unknown errand in the forest

Young Goodman Brown – Plot summary

Goodman Brown calls to heaven to resist and instantly the scene vanishes.

Young Goodman Brown – Plot summary

Arriving back at his home in Salem the next morning, Goodman Brown is uncertain whether the previous night’s events were real or a dream, but he is deeply shaken, and his belief he lives in a Christian community is distorted

Young Goodman Brown – Background

The story is set during the Salem witch trials, at which Hawthorne’s great-great-grandfather John Hathorne was a judge

Young Goodman Brown – Background

In his writings Hawthorne questioned established thought—most specifically New England Puritanism and contemporary Transcendentalism. In Young Goodman Brown, as with much of his other writing, he exposes ambiguity.Gray, Richard. A History of American Literature. p. 200

Young Goodman Brown – Themes and style

Hawthorne gives the characters, specific names that depict abstract pure wholesome beliefs, such as Young ‘Goodman’ Brown, and ‘Faith’

Young Goodman Brown – Themes and style

The third part shows his return to society and to his home, yet he is so profoundly changed that in rejecting the greeting of his wife Faith, Hawthorne shows Goodman Brown has lost faith and rejected the tenets of his Puritan world during the course of the night.Shear, 63–66

Young Goodman Brown – Themes and style

Believing himself to be of the elect, Goodman Brown falls into self-doubt after three months of marriage which to him represents sin and depravity as opposed to salvation

Young Goodman Brown – Symbols

The Devil’s staff is used to defy God and eat the fruit from the forbidden tree. Similarly, Hawthorne used the serpent on the old man’s staff as a symbol of an evil demon. Like Eve, Brown is condemned by his temptation when he chose to pick up the staff for a faster travel. This ultimately represents his loss of innocence towards temptation and curiosity.

Young Goodman Brown – Symbols

When reunited with Faith at the end of the story, Brown notices that she is again wearing the pink ribbon, thus casting doubts on Goodman Brown about whether or not his experience had been real.

Young Goodman Brown – Critical response and impact

Herman Melville said Young Goodman Brown was as deep as Dante Alighieri|Dante and Henry James called it a magnificent little romance.Miller, Edwin Haviland

Young Goodman Brown – Critical response and impact

Modern scholars and critics generally view the short story as an allegorical tale written to expose the contradictions in place concerning Puritan beliefs and societies

Goodman (title)

‘Goodman’ was once a polite term of address, used where Mister (Mr.) would be used today. A man addressed by this title was, however, of a lesser social rank than a man addressed as Mister. Compare Goodwife.

Goodman (title)

The terms were used in England and Puritan New England. They are perhaps best known today as the forms of address used in Arthur Miller|Arthur Miller’s historical fiction The Crucible, and in Nathaniel Hawthorne|Nathaniel Hawthorne’s short story Young Goodman Brown.

Communitas – Paul and Percival Goodman

The Goodmans emphasize freedom from both coercion by a government or church and from human necessities by providing these free of cost to all citizens who do a couple of years of conscripted labor as young adults.

Robert Rodman

‘Robert Rodman’ is a professor of computer science at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, North Carolina. Rodman attended UCLA, where he worked with linguistics|linguist Victoria Fromkin.

Primary somatosensory cortex – Brodmann areas 3, 1 and 2

‘Brodmann areas 3, 1, and 2’ make up the primary somatosensory cortex of the human brain (or ‘S1’). Because Korbinian Brodmann|Brodmann sliced the brain somewhat obliquely, he encountered area 1 first; however, from Anatomical terms of location#Directional terms|rostral to Caudal (anatomical term)|caudal, the Brodmann area|Brodmann designations are 3, 1, and 2, respectively.

Primary somatosensory cortex – Brodmann areas 3, 1 and 2

Brodmann area 3 is subdivided into areas 3a and 3b

Primary somatosensory cortex – Brodmann areas 3, 1 and 2

Areas 1 and 2 receive dense inputs from BA 3b. The projection from 3b to 1 primarily relays texture information; the projection to area 2 emphasizes size and shape. Lesions confined to these areas produce predictable dysfunction in texture, size, and shape discrimination.

Primary somatosensory cortex – Brodmann areas 3, 1 and 2

Somatosensory cortex, like other neocortex, is layered

Primary somatosensory cortex – Brodmann areas 3, 1 and 2

This area of cortex, as shown by Wilder Penfield and others, is organized somatotopically, having the pattern of a homunculus. That is, the legs and trunk fold over the midline; the arms and hands are along the middle of the area shown here; and the face is near the bottom of the figure. While it is not well-shown here, the lips and hands are enlarged on a proper homunculus, since a larger number of neurons in the cerebral cortex are devoted to processing information from these areas.

Primary somatosensory cortex – Brodmann areas 3, 1 and 2

The positions of Brodmann areas 3, 1, and 2 are – from the nadir of the central sulcus toward the apex of the postcentral gyrus – 3a, 3b, 1, and 2, respectively.

List of companions in Doctor Who spin-offs – Gus Goodman

‘Angus Goodman’, or simply ‘Gus’, was a companion of the Fifth Doctor in the Doctor Who Magazine|Doctor Who Monthly comic strips. He first appeared in the story Lunar Lagoon (DWM #76-#77), although he did not meet the Doctor until the start of the next story, 4-Dimensional Vistas (DWM#78-#83). Gus’s first appearances were written by Steve Parkhouse and illustrated by Mick Austin; he was later drawn by Steve Dillon.

List of companions in Doctor Who spin-offs – Gus Goodman

Gus was an American fighter pilot from an Parallel universe (fiction)|alternate timeline where World War II was still being fought in 1963. The Doctor had accidentally taken the TARDIS there, not realising that the idyllic island he had picked out as a holiday spot was not on an alien planet, but somewhere in the Pacific of that parallel Earth. Gus crashed on the island after a dogfight with a Japanese plane, and accepted the Doctor’s offer to take him off the island.

List of companions in Doctor Who spin-offs – Gus Goodman

However, as was usual for the Doctor, he did not take Gus home by the direct route. Back in the Doctor’s own universe, they first encountered the Doctor’s old enemy, the Meddling Monk, who had allied himself with the Ice Warriors to create a gigantic sonic cannon. After thwarting their plans, the two travelled to the planet Celeste. There they met the malevolent frog-like businessman, Dogbolter, whom the Doctor offended when he refused to sell Dogbolter the TARDIS (The Moderator, DWM #86-87).

List of companions in Doctor Who spin-offs – Gus Goodman

Dogbolter sent a hitman, the Moderator, after the Doctor. The Moderator followed the Doctor’s trail back to Gus’s world, and ambushed them when the Doctor was about to drop Gus off. Gus was shot in the ensuing hail of gunfire, but managed to shoot back and incapacitate the Moderator. Gus died from his wounds, much to the Doctor’s sadness. The Doctor left Gus where he had fallen, but would eventually seek out and encounter Dogbolter again.

Galactooligosaccharide – FODMAP and flatulence

For this reason, they are not classed as FODMAPs and should not be restricted on the low-FODMAP diet, contrary to fructose, fructans and alpha-linked galactose-containing oligosaccharides such as those found in various legumes and beans

Hack-a-Shaq – Hack-a-Rodman

In so doing, the theory went, Rodman’s horrific foul shooting would result in the Mavericks actually giving up fewer total points during those Bulls possessions than they would give up by playing a standard defense against the Bulls’ efficient offense, led by Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen.

Hack-a-Shaq – Hack-a-Rodman

Given its ineffectiveness on that occasion, the strategy was then largely forgotten, aside from the fact that Maverick player Bubba Wells, whose assignment it had been to foul Rodman, set the all-time NBA record for fewest minutes played (3) before fouling out of a game.Hubbuch, Bart

Hack-a-Shaq – Hack-a-Rodman

However, Nelson revisited the strategy in 1999, this time against Shaquille O’Neal (52% free throw shooting over his career). And this time, some other NBA coaches chose to follow his lead and also employ the strategy against O’Neal.(2000, May 24). DUNLEAVY IMPRESSES A COACHING MAVERICK, The Oregonian The result was that despite the fact that it had been first used two years earlier against Rodman, the strategy became much better known for its use against O’Neal.

FODMAP

‘FODMAPs’ are short chain carbohydrates (oligosaccharides), disaccharides, monosaccharides and related alcohols that are poorly absorbed in the small intestine. These include short chain (oligo-) saccharide polymers of fructose (fructans) and galactose (galactans), disaccharides (lactose), monosaccharides (fructose), and sugar alcohols (polyols) such as sorbitol, mannitol, xylitol and maltitol.

FODMAP

Evidence-based dietary management of functional gastrointestinal symptoms: The FODMAP approach

FODMAP – Pathophysiology of FGID

The small molecule FODMAPs exhibit these characteristics.

FODMAP – FODMAP absorption

Poor absorption of most FODMAP carbohydrates is common to everyone. Any FODMAPs that are not absorbed in the small intestine pass into the large intestine, where bacteria ferment them. The resultant production of gas potentially results in bloating and flatulence. Most individuals do not suffer significant symptoms but some may suffer the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome|IBS. Restriction of FODMAP intake in the latter group has been found to result in improvement of symptoms.

FODMAP – FODMAP absorption

Fructose malabsorption and lactose intolerance may produce IBS symptoms through the same mechanism but, unlike with other FODMAPs, poor absorption is found only in a minority of people. Many who benefit from a low FODMAP diet need not restrict fructose or lactose. It is possible to identify these two conditions with hydrogen breath test|hydrogen and methane Breath gas analysis|breath testing and thus eliminate the necessity for dietary compliance if possible.

FODMAP – FODMAP sources in the diet

The significance of sources of FODMAPs varies through differences in dietary groups such as geography, ethnicity and other factors.

FODMAP – Sources of fructans

Fructan#Fructan content of various foods|Sources of fructans include wheat (though spelt contains comparatively low amounts), rye, barley, onion, garlic, Jerusalem artichoke|Jerusalem and globe artichoke, asparagus, beetroot, chicory, dandelion|dandelion leaves, leek, radicchio, the white part of spring onion, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, fennel, chocolate and prebiotic (nutrition)|prebiotics such as fructooligosaccharides (Fructooligosaccharide|FOS), oligofructose and inulin.

FODMAP – Sources of galactans

Pulse (legume)|Pulses and beans are the main dietary sources (though green beans, tofu and tempeh contain comparatively low amounts).

FODMAP – Sources of polyols

Polyols are found naturally in some fruit (particularly stone fruits), including apples, apricots, avocados, blackberries, cherries, lychees, nectarines, peaches, pears, plums, prunes, watermelon and some vegetables, including cauliflower, mushrooms and mange-tout|mange-tout peas. They are also used as Sugar substitute|artificial sweeteners and include isomalt, maltitol, mannitol, sorbitol and xylitol.

FODMAP – Sources of fructose

See: Fructose malabsorption#Foods with high fructose content|Foods with high fructose content

FODMAP – Sources of lactose

See: Lactose intolerance#Avoiding lactose-containing products|Avoiding lactose-containing products

FODMAP – Low-FODMAP diet suggested

When considering a diet that involves avoiding a long list of foods, it is beneficial to look at foods that are acceptable on the diet. Below are low-FODMAP foods typically tolerated categorized by food group.

FODMAP – Low-FODMAP diet suggested

‘Vegetables’: bamboo shoots, bell peppers, bok choy, cucumbers, carrots, celery, corn, eggplant, lettuce, leafy greens, pumpkin, potatoes, squash (butternut, winter), yams, tomatoes, zucchini (courgette)

FODMAP – Low-FODMAP diet suggested

‘Fruits’: bananas, berries, cantaloupe, grapes, grapefruit, honeydew, kiwi, kumquat, lemon, lime, mandarin, orange, passion fruit, pineapple, rhubarb, tangerine

FODMAP – Low-FODMAP diet suggested

‘Protein’: beef, chicken, canned tuna, eggs, egg whites, fish, lamb, pork, shellfish, turkey, cold cuts (all prepared without added FODMAP containing foods), nuts, nut butters, seeds

FODMAP – Low-FODMAP diet suggested

‘Dairy and non-dairy alternatives’: lactose-free dairy, small amounts of: cream cheese, half and half, hard cheeses (cheddar, colby, parmesan, swiss), mozzarella, sherbet, almond milk, rice milk, rice milk ice cream

FODMAP – Low-FODMAP diet suggested

‘Grains’: wheat-free grains/wheat-free flours (gluten-free grains are free of wheat, barley and rye): bagels, breads, hot/cold cereals (corn flakes, cream of rice, grits, oats, etc.), crackers, noodles, pastas, quinoa, pancakes, pretzels, rice, tapioca, tortillas, waffles

FODMAP – Low-FODMAP diet suggested

‘Beverage options:’ water, coffee and tea (individuals with IBS may also want to limit caffeine), low FODMAP fruit/vegetable juices (limit to ½ cup at a time)

FODMAP – Nutritional Adequacy of a Low-FODMAP diet

Dietary concerns may arise when individuals dislike the low-FODMAPs alternatives

Irritable bowel – FODMAPs diet

A diet restricted in fermentable Oligosaccharide|oligo- Disaccharide|di- and monosaccharides and polyols (FODMAPs) now has an evidence base sufficiently strong to recommend its widespread application in conditions such as IBS and Inflammatory bowel disease|IBD.

Irritable bowel – FODMAPs diet

They also state the restriction of FODMAPs globally, rather than individually, controls the symptoms of functional gut disorders (e.g., IBS), and the majority of IBD patients respond just as well. It is more successful than restricting only fructose and fructans, which are also FODMAPs, as is recommended for those with fructose malabsorption. Longer-term compliance with the diet was high.

Bassma Kodmani – The Arab Reform Initiative

1- The Arab world needs to develop its own conception of reform, based on its present realities and rooted in its history. While there are basic universal criteria that apply to a process of democratic reform in any given society, the initiative seeks to generate knowledge by those who are the prime targets of reform.

Bassma Kodmani – The Arab Reform Initiative

2- Reform is a comprehensive process which can only succeed if the interaction between the political, economic, societal and cultural spheres is fully recognized. In the quest to build free, just and democratic societies, the initiative privileges issues of democratization and good governance, socio-economic and cultural transformations, and social justice.

Bassma Kodmani – The Arab Reform Initiative

3- The network’s conception of reform fully recognizes that Arab countries present very diverse situations and that this diversity is likely to become more salient as societies engage in a path of liberalization. Thanks to its composition, with member institutes and scholars from all countries of the region, the initiative is well positioned to produce analyses and recommend diverse solutions relevant to the specificities of each society.

Rodman gun

Rodman guns differed from all previous artillery because they were Hollow casting|hollow cast, a new technology that Rodman developed that resulted in cast iron guns that were much stronger than their predecessors.

Rodman gun – Hollow casting

Rodman devised a method of casting where the gun cooled from the inside out, so that as cooling occurred, it created compression rather than tension

Rodman gun – Hollow casting

For an 8-inch Rodman columbiad, the core was removed 25 hours after casting and the flow of water continued through the space left by the core for another 40 hours

Rodman gun – Hollow casting

After cooling the gun the machining process began. The bore was bored out to proper size, the exterior was turned smooth, the trunnions were turned on a trunnion lathe, and a vent was drilled.

Rodman gun – Hollow casting

Columbiads were not the only guns cast using Rodman’s method. Dahlgren gun#Dahlgren shell guns and Rodman casting|Dalgren XV-inch shell guns for the U.S. Navy were also hollow cast. A 20-inch hollow cast gun, which may not have been identical to the two guns supplied to the U.S. Army, was sold to Peru.

‘Rodman guns (continued)’

Rodman gun – Carriages for Rodman guns

Rodman guns were mounted on three type of carriages—a front-pintle barbette carriage, a center-pintle barbette carriage, and a casemate carriage. All of these carriages were made of wrought iron. All three types of carriage were similar in design having an upper carriage that was paced on a two rail chassis. The gun and upper carriage recoiled along the chassis. The chassis would pivot to train the gun left or right.

Rodman gun – Carriages for Rodman guns

The barbette carriages were designed to fire over a parapet and could be used in either permanent or temporary fortifications

Rodman gun – Carriages for Rodman guns

The casemate carriage was designed to fire from casemates which were chambers in permanent fortifications. The carriage was essentially a front-pintle design, with the pintle fixed in the masonry in front of the chassis and below the guns embrasure. A “tongue’’ connected the chassis to the pintle. The casemate carriage has a lower profile than the barbette carriages.

Rodman gun – Carriages for Rodman guns

The 8-inch and 10-inch Rodman guns could be mounted on all three types of carriages. The 15-inch Rodman guns were mounted on both types of barbette carriage. The two 20-inch guns were mounted on front-pintle barbette carriages.

The last method involved drilling and Tap and die|tapping the breech of the 10-inch Rodman and inserting a rifled steel sleeve and screwing it in tight with a threaded breech plug

These conversions were not viewed favorably, were primarily seen as cheap stopgaps until modern breech-loading rifles could be developed and emplaced .

Rodman gun – Confederate “Rodmans”

Therefore at the outbreak of the war, southern foundries were not capable of casting guns using the Rodman method

Rodman gun – Confederate “Rodmans”

A closer examination of these Confederate columbiads reveals that they have a straighter cylindrical contour between the trunnions and the breech as opposed to the sweeping continuous curve of the Rodman gun

Rodman gun – Confederate “Rodmans”

On November 14, 1864, and February 20, 1865, Joseph R. Anderson|Anderson cast two 12-inch columbiads using the Rodman method at the Tredegar Iron Works. The guns were made too late and were never finished or mounted .

Rodman gun – Misnamed as Rodmans

The Field artillery in the American Civil War#3-inch ordnance rifle|3-inch ordnance rifle and the Siege artillery in the American Civil War#4.5-inch siege rifle|4.5-inch siege rifle were frequently misidentified as Rodmans.

Business Continuity Planning

Business continuity planning

Business continuity planning

Business continuity planning

Business continuity planning (BCP) “identifies an organization’s exposure to internal and external threats and synthesizes hard and soft assets to provide effective prevention and recovery for the organization, while maintaining competitive advantage and value system integrity”

Business continuity planning

Any event that could impact operations is included, such as supply chain interruption, loss of or damage to critical infrastructure (major machinery or computing/network resource). As such, risk management must be incorporated as part of BCP.

Business continuity planning

In December 2006, the British Standards Institution (BSI) released an independent standard for BCP — BS 25999-1

Business continuity planning

Business continuity management is standardised across the UK by British Standards (BS) through BS 25999-2:2007 and BS 25999-1:2006

Business continuity planning

This document was superseded in November 2012 by the British standard BS ISO22301:2012. (British Standards Institution, 2012)

Business continuity planning

In 2004, following crises in the preceding years, the UK government passed the Civil Contingencies Act 2004 (The Act). This provides the legislation for civil protection in the UK.

Business continuity planning

The Act was separated into two distinct parts: Part 1 focuses on local arrangements for civil protection, establishing a statutory framework of roles and responsibilities for local responders. Part 2 focused on emergency powers, establishing a modern framework for the use of special legislative measures that might be necessary to deal with the effects of the most serious emergencies.

Business continuity planning

The Act is telling responders and planners that businesses need to have continuity planning measures in place in order to survive and continue to thrive whilst working towards keeping the incident as minimal as possible. (Cabinet Office, 2004)

Business continuity planning – Business impact analysis (BIA)

A Business impact analysis (BIA) differentiates critical (urgent) and non-critical (non-urgent) organization functions/activities. Critical functions are those whose disruption is regarded as unacceptable. Perceptions of acceptability are affected by the cost of recovery solutions. A function may also be considered critical if dictated by law. For each critical (in scope) function, two values are then assigned:

Business continuity planning – Business impact analysis (BIA)

Recovery Time Objective (RTO) – the acceptable amount of time to restore the function

Business continuity planning – Business impact analysis (BIA)

The recovery point objective must ensure that the maximum tolerable data loss for each activity is not exceeded. The Recovery Time Objective must ensure that the Maximum Tolerable Period of Disruption (MTPoD) for each activity is not exceeded.

Business continuity planning – Business impact analysis (BIA)

Next, the impact analysis results in the recovery requirements for each critical function. Recovery requirements consist of the following information:

Business continuity planning – Business impact analysis (BIA)

The business requirements for recovery of the critical function, and/or

Business continuity planning – Business impact analysis (BIA)

The technical requirements for recovery of the critical function

Business continuity planning – Threat and risk analysis (TRA)

After defining recovery requirements, each potential threat may require unique recovery steps. Common threats include:

Business continuity planning – Threat and risk analysis (TRA)

The impact of an epidemic can be regarded as purely human, and may be alleviated with technical and business solutions. However, if people behind these plans are affected by the disease, then the process can stumble.

Business continuity planning – Threat and risk analysis (TRA)

During the 2002–2003 SARS outbreak, some organizations grouped staff into separate teams, and rotated the teams between primary and secondary work sites, with a rotation frequency equal to the incubation period of the disease. The organizations also banned face-to-face intergroup contact during business and non-business hours. The split increased resiliency against the threat of quarantine measures if one person in a team was exposed to the disease.

Business continuity planning – Impact scenarios

After defining threats, impact scenarios form the basis of the business recovery plan. In general, planning for the most wide-reaching impact is preferable. A typical impact scenario such as “building loss” encompasses most critical business functions. A BCP may document scenarios for each building. More localized impact scenarios – for example loss of a specific floor in a building – may also be documented.

Business continuity planning – Recovery requirement

After the analysis phase, business and technical recovery requirements precede the solutions phase. Asset inventories allow for quick identification of deployable resources. For an office-based, IT-intensive business, the plan requirements may cover desks, human resources, applications, data, manual workarounds, computers and peripherals.

Business continuity planning – Recovery requirement

Other business environments, such as production, distribution, warehousing etc. will need to cover these elements, but likely have additional issues.

Business continuity planning – Solution design

The solution design phase identifies the most cost-effective disaster recovery solution that meets two main requirements from the impact analysis stage. For IT purposes, this is commonly expressed as the minimum application and data requirements and the time in which the minimum application and application data must be available.

Business continuity planning – Solution design

Outside the IT domain, preservation of hard copy information, such as contracts, skilled staff or restoration of embedded technology in a process plant must be considered. This phase overlaps with disaster recovery planning methodology. The solution phase determines:

Business continuity planning – Solution design

crisis management command structure

Business continuity planning – Solution design

telecommunication architecture between primary and secondary work sites

Business continuity planning – Solution design

applications and data required at the secondary work site, and

Business continuity planning – Solution design

physical data requirements at the secondary work site.

Business continuity planning – Implementation

The implementation phase involves policy changes, material acquisitions, staffing and testing.

Business continuity planning – Testing and organizational acceptance

The purpose of testing is to achieve organizational acceptance that the solution satisfies the recovery requirements. Plans may fail to meet expectations due to insufficient or inaccurate recovery requirements, solution design flaws or solution implementation errors. Testing may include:

Business continuity planning – Testing and organizational acceptance

Crisis command team call-out testing

Business continuity planning – Testing and organizational acceptance

At minimum, testing is conducted on a biannual schedule.

Business continuity planning – Testing and organizational acceptance

The 2008 book Exercising for Excellence, published by The British Standards Institution identified three types of exercises that can be employed when testing business continuity plans.

Business continuity planning – Tabletop exercises

Tabletop exercises typically involve a small number of people and concentrates on a specific aspect of a BCP. They can easily accommodate complete teams from a specific area of a business.

Business continuity planning – Tabletop exercises

Another form involves a single representative from each of several teams. Typically, participants work through simple scenario and then discuss specific aspects of the plan. For example, a fire is discovered out of working hours.

Business continuity planning – Tabletop exercises

The exercise consumes only a few hours and is often split into two or three sessions, each concentrating on a different theme.

Business continuity planning – Medium exercises

A medium exercise is conducted within a “Virtual World” and brings together several departments, teams or disciplines

Business continuity planning – Medium exercises

A medium exercise typically lasts a few hours, though they can extend over several days. They typically involve a “Scenario Cell” that adds pre-scripted “surprises” throughout the exercise.

Business continuity planning – Complex exercises

A complex exercise aims to have as few boundaries as possible. It incorporates all the aspects of a medium exercise. The exercise remains within a virtual world, but maximum realism is essential. This might include no-notice activation, actual evacuation and actual invocation of a disaster recovery site.

Business continuity planning – Complex exercises

While start and stop times are pre-agreed, the actual duration might be unknown if events are allowed to run their course.

Business continuity planning – Maintenance

Biannual or annual maintenance cycle maintenance of a BCP manual is broken down into three periodic activities.

Business continuity planning – Maintenance

Confirmation of information in the manual, roll out to staff for awareness and specific training for critical individuals.

Business continuity planning – Maintenance

Testing and verification of technical solutions established for recovery operations.

Business continuity planning – Maintenance

Testing and verification of organization recovery procedures.

Business continuity planning – Maintenance

Issues found during the testing phase often must be reintroduced to the analysis phase.

Business continuity planning – Information/targets

The BCP manual must evolve with the organization. Activating the call tree verifies the notification plan’s efficiency as well as contact data accuracy. Types of changes that should be identified and updated in the manual include:

Business continuity planning – Information/targets

Organization structure changes

Business continuity planning – Information/targets

Communication and transportation infrastructure such as roads and bridges

Business continuity planning – Technical

Specialized technical resources must be maintained. Checks include:

Business continuity planning – Technical

Application security and service patch distribution

Business continuity planning – Testing and verification of recovery procedures

As work processes change, previous recovery procedures may no longer be suitable. Checks include:

Business continuity planning – Testing and verification of recovery procedures

Are all work processes for critical functions documented?

Business continuity planning – Testing and verification of recovery procedures

Have the systems used for critical functions changed?

Business continuity planning – Testing and verification of recovery procedures

Are the documented work checklists meaningful and accurate?

Business continuity planning – Testing and verification of recovery procedures

Do the documented work process recovery tasks and supporting disaster recovery infrastructure allow staff to recover within the predetermined recovery time objective?

Crisis management – Business continuity planning

When a crisis will undoubtedly cause a significant disruption to an organisation, a business continuity plan can help minimize the disruption

Crisis management – Business continuity planning

Each critical function and or/process must have its own contingency plan in the event that one of the functions/processes ceases or fails, then the business/organisation is more resilient, which in itself provides a mechanism to lessen the possibility of having to invoke recovery plans (Osborne, 2007)

Crisis management – Business continuity planning

A note of caution when planning training scenarios, all too often simulations can lack ingenuity, an appropriate level of realism and as a consequence potentially lose their training value

Crisis management – Business continuity planning

Following a simulation exercise, a thorough and systematic debriefing must be conducted as a key component of any crisis simulation. The purpose of this is to create a link and draw lessons from the reality of the simulated representation and the reality of the real world. (Borodzicz, 2005).

Crisis management – Business continuity planning

The whole process relating to business continuity planning should be periodically reviewed to identify any number of changes that may invalidate the current plan. (Osborne, 2007).

Facility management – Business continuity planning

All organisations should have in place a continuity plan so that in the event of a fire or major failure the business can recover quickly. In large organisations it may be that the staff move to another site that has been set up to model the existing operation. The facilities management department would be one of the key players should it be necessary to move the business to a recovery site.

Emergency procedure – Business Continuity Planning

Business continuity planning may also feed off of the emergency procedures, enabling an organization to identify points of vulnerability and minimise the risk to the business by preparing backup plans and improving resilience. The act of producing the procedures may also highlight failings in current arrangements that if corrected, could reduce the risk levels.

Business continuity planning – Impact scenarios

After defining threats, impact scenarios form the basis of the business recovery plan. In general, planning for the most wide-reaching impact is preferable. A typical impact scenario such as “building loss” encompasses most critical business functions. A BCP may document scenarios for each building. More localized impact scenarios – for example loss of a specific floor in a building – may also be documented.

Business continuity planning – Recovery requirement

After the analysis phase, business and technical recovery requirements precede the solutions phase. Asset inventories allow for quick identification of deployable resources. For an office-based, IT-intensive business, the plan requirements may cover desks, human resources, applications, data, manual workarounds, computers and peripherals.

Business continuity planning – Recovery requirement

Other business environments, such as production, distribution, warehousing etc. will need to cover these elements, but likely have additional issues.

Business continuity planning – Solution design

The solution design phase identifies the most cost-effective disaster recovery solution that meets two main requirements from the impact analysis stage. For IT purposes, this is commonly expressed as the minimum application and data requirements and the time in which the minimum application and application data must be available.

Business continuity planning – Solution design

Outside the IT domain, preservation of hard copy information, such as contracts, skilled staff or restoration of embedded technology in a process plant must be considered. This phase overlaps with disaster recovery planning methodology. The solution phase determines:

Business continuity planning – Solution design

crisis management command structure

Business continuity planning – Solution design

telecommunication architecture between primary and secondary work sites

Business continuity planning – Solution design

applications and data required at the secondary work site, and

Business continuity planning – Solution design

physical data requirements at the secondary work site.

Business continuity planning – Implementation

The implementation phase involves policy changes, material acquisitions, staffing and testing.

Business continuity planning – Testing and organizational acceptance

The purpose of testing is to achieve organizational acceptance that the solution satisfies the recovery requirements. Plans may fail to meet expectations due to insufficient or inaccurate recovery requirements, solution design flaws or solution implementation errors. Testing may include:

Business continuity planning – Testing and organizational acceptance

Crisis command team call-out testing

Business continuity planning – Testing and organizational acceptance

At minimum, testing is conducted on a biannual schedule.

Business continuity planning – Testing and organizational acceptance

The 2008 book Exercising for Excellence, published by The British Standards Institution identified three types of exercises that can be employed when testing business continuity plans.

Business continuity planning – Tabletop exercises

Tabletop exercises typically involve a small number of people and concentrates on a specific aspect of a BCP. They can easily accommodate complete teams from a specific area of a business.

Business continuity planning – Tabletop exercises

Another form involves a single representative from each of several teams. Typically, participants work through simple scenario and then discuss specific aspects of the plan. For example, a fire is discovered out of working hours.

Business continuity planning – Tabletop exercises

The exercise consumes only a few hours and is often split into two or three sessions, each concentrating on a different theme.

Business continuity planning – Medium exercises

A medium exercise is conducted within a “Virtual World” and brings together several departments, teams or disciplines

Business continuity planning – Medium exercises

A medium exercise typically lasts a few hours, though they can extend over several days. They typically involve a “Scenario Cell” that adds pre-scripted “surprises” throughout the exercise.

Business continuity planning – Complex exercises

A complex exercise aims to have as few boundaries as possible. It incorporates all the aspects of a medium exercise. The exercise remains within a virtual world, but maximum realism is essential. This might include no-notice activation, actual evacuation and actual invocation of a disaster recovery site.

Business continuity planning – Complex exercises

While start and stop times are pre-agreed, the actual duration might be unknown if events are allowed to run their course.

Business continuity planning – Maintenance

Biannual or annual maintenance cycle maintenance of a BCP manual is broken down into three periodic activities.

Business continuity planning – Maintenance

Confirmation of information in the manual, roll out to staff for awareness and specific training for critical individuals.

Business continuity planning – Maintenance

Testing and verification of technical solutions established for recovery operations.

Business continuity planning – Maintenance

Testing and verification of organization recovery procedures.

Business continuity planning – Maintenance

Issues found during the testing phase often must be reintroduced to the analysis phase.

Business continuity planning – Information/targets

The BCP manual must evolve with the organization. Activating the call tree verifies the notification plan’s efficiency as well as contact data accuracy. Types of changes that should be identified and updated in the manual include:

Business continuity planning – Information/targets

Organization structure changes

Business continuity planning – Information/targets

Communication and transportation infrastructure such as roads and bridges

Business continuity planning – Technical

Specialized technical resources must be maintained. Checks include:

Business continuity planning – Technical

Application security and service patch distribution

Business continuity planning – Testing and verification of recovery procedures

As work processes change, previous recovery procedures may no longer be suitable. Checks include:

Business continuity planning – Testing and verification of recovery procedures

Are all work processes for critical functions documented?

Business continuity planning – Testing and verification of recovery procedures

Have the systems used for critical functions changed?

Business continuity planning – Testing and verification of recovery procedures

Are the documented work checklists meaningful and accurate?

Business continuity planning – Testing and verification of recovery procedures

Do the documented work process recovery tasks and supporting disaster recovery infrastructure allow staff to recover within the predetermined recovery time objective?

Crisis management – Business continuity planning

When a crisis will undoubtedly cause a significant disruption to an organisation, a business continuity plan can help minimize the disruption

Crisis management – Business continuity planning

Each critical function and or/process must have its own contingency plan in the event that one of the functions/processes ceases or fails, then the business/organisation is more resilient, which in itself provides a mechanism to lessen the possibility of having to invoke recovery plans (Osborne, 2007)

Crisis management – Business continuity planning

A note of caution when planning training scenarios, all too often simulations can lack ingenuity, an appropriate level of realism and as a consequence potentially lose their training value

Crisis management – Business continuity planning

Following a simulation exercise, a thorough and systematic debriefing must be conducted as a key component of any crisis simulation. The purpose of this is to create a link and draw lessons from the reality of the simulated representation and the reality of the real world. (Borodzicz, 2005).

Crisis management – Business continuity planning

The whole process relating to business continuity planning should be periodically reviewed to identify any number of changes that may invalidate the current plan. (Osborne, 2007).

Facility management – Business continuity planning

All organisations should have in place a continuity plan so that in the event of a fire or major failure the business can recover quickly. In large organisations it may be that the staff move to another site that has been set up to model the existing operation. The facilities management department would be one of the key players should it be necessary to move the business to a recovery site.

Emergency procedure – Business Continuity Planning

Business continuity planning may also feed off of the emergency procedures, enabling an organization to identify points of vulnerability and minimise the risk to the business by preparing backup plans and improving resilience. The act of producing the procedures may also highlight failings in current arrangements that if corrected, could reduce the risk levels.

Business Continuity Planning

Business continuity planning

Business continuity planning

Business continuity planning

Business continuity planning (BCP) “identifies an organization’s exposure to internal and external threats and synthesizes hard and soft assets to provide effective prevention and recovery for the organization, while maintaining competitive advantage and value system integrity”

Business continuity planning

Any event that could impact operations is included, such as supply chain interruption, loss of or damage to critical infrastructure (major machinery or computing/network resource). As such, risk management must be incorporated as part of BCP.

Business continuity planning

In December 2006, the British Standards Institution (BSI) released an independent standard for BCP — BS 25999-1

Business continuity planning

Business continuity management is standardised across the UK by British Standards (BS) through BS 25999-2:2007 and BS 25999-1:2006

Business continuity planning

This document was superseded in November 2012 by the British standard BS ISO22301:2012. (British Standards Institution, 2012)

Business continuity planning

In 2004, following crises in the preceding years, the UK government passed the Civil Contingencies Act 2004 (The Act). This provides the legislation for civil protection in the UK.

Business continuity planning

The Act was separated into two distinct parts: Part 1 focuses on local arrangements for civil protection, establishing a statutory framework of roles and responsibilities for local responders. Part 2 focused on emergency powers, establishing a modern framework for the use of special legislative measures that might be necessary to deal with the effects of the most serious emergencies.

Business continuity planning

The Act is telling responders and planners that businesses need to have continuity planning measures in place in order to survive and continue to thrive whilst working towards keeping the incident as minimal as possible. (Cabinet Office, 2004)

Business continuity planning – Business impact analysis (BIA)

A Business impact analysis (BIA) differentiates critical (urgent) and non-critical (non-urgent) organization functions/activities. Critical functions are those whose disruption is regarded as unacceptable. Perceptions of acceptability are affected by the cost of recovery solutions. A function may also be considered critical if dictated by law. For each critical (in scope) function, two values are then assigned:

Business continuity planning – Business impact analysis (BIA)

Recovery Time Objective (RTO) – the acceptable amount of time to restore the function

Business continuity planning – Business impact analysis (BIA)

The recovery point objective must ensure that the maximum tolerable data loss for each activity is not exceeded. The Recovery Time Objective must ensure that the Maximum Tolerable Period of Disruption (MTPoD) for each activity is not exceeded.

Business continuity planning – Business impact analysis (BIA)

Next, the impact analysis results in the recovery requirements for each critical function. Recovery requirements consist of the following information:

Business continuity planning – Business impact analysis (BIA)

The business requirements for recovery of the critical function, and/or

Business continuity planning – Business impact analysis (BIA)

The technical requirements for recovery of the critical function

Business continuity planning – Threat and risk analysis (TRA)

After defining recovery requirements, each potential threat may require unique recovery steps. Common threats include:

Business continuity planning – Threat and risk analysis (TRA)

The impact of an epidemic can be regarded as purely human, and may be alleviated with technical and business solutions. However, if people behind these plans are affected by the disease, then the process can stumble.

Business continuity planning – Threat and risk analysis (TRA)

During the 2002–2003 SARS outbreak, some organizations grouped staff into separate teams, and rotated the teams between primary and secondary work sites, with a rotation frequency equal to the incubation period of the disease. The organizations also banned face-to-face intergroup contact during business and non-business hours. The split increased resiliency against the threat of quarantine measures if one person in a team was exposed to the disease.
