National incident management system- An innovative way to stop the incident

0

Disaster can take place any point of time in our life. When a disaster takes place a security system ensures complete security of the peoples' lives. Incident management system handles any risks that a company may face in the course of its growth.

Storified by triagetag · Sun, Jul 28 2013 23:08:11

It offers strategies to tackle the risks and avoid failures and it is possible to reduce the threats that may take place on the surface in the future. The basic idea is to identify the issues before they explode, many methods and tools come into play in the whole process of risk management.

In today’s scenario, The magic of the functional National incident management system has increased and the basic reason behind the significance of the security system is the forecast disaster in the whole world so in this situation every country of the world has come forward to adopt the facility of incident management system. In order to minimize the risk this system is developed. It offers companies the much needed time to rectify any errors and take precautionary steps before disaster strikes.

Identifying risks include reviewing the degree to which they may occur, analyzing them, understanding risks and how to react to them, and using methods to stop the risk from surfacing. The information technology revolution has revolutionized the companies work in the significant manner, how does government operate national defense is conducted. These systems need to be protected at all costs from threats by spies, hackers, corporate raiders, and criminals, each with a vested interest and motivation in challenging the technology for political and monetary gains.

Incident management studies suggest that risk is a fundamental metric in and should be analyzed in the proper manner before initiating for the solutions. Nothing is certain while it comes to disaster and how much the risk, nobody can perfectly analyze but can be assumed to the certain extent. It is likely to be is based on the certainty that an unwanted event will happen. Thus appropriate controls need to be put in the right places in the businesses. Trying to do away with all business-related risks are never a sound business decision when analyzed from the point of view of costs. Security risk management is to take decisions because it allows security managers to communicate in a way that makes sense to decision makers. Security risk reduction is normally a kind of guesswork and can never be measured accurately, the impact of what will happen in the future. Assessing a risk is a difficult task.


Moreover, a risk assessment that had been made on a previous day may produce quite different results when performed the following day because risks are known to evolve over a period of time.

Dental Credit Card Video Posted by Cloud Technology Systems, Inc.

Columbus, OH; July 29, 2013: When consumers run out of options due to imperfect credit they are left with no other choice but to seek out alternatives to finance their dental procedures.

The video “Dental Credit Cards for Bad Credit”, that points out alternatives to traditional dental financing for consumers that have less than perfect credit, was just posted by Cloud Technology Systems Inc. on their official site http://creditcardsforbadcreditnotbadpeople.com/dental-credit-card/.

Click here to watch video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUqdUaqDlW4

Many consumers are usually out of options after falling on economic times that have taken a toll on their credit. If the consumer doesn’t have cash and have bad credit then there is a good chance the dentist will not work with them on financing their dental procedures.

A California dentist opined, “If the patient can’t get dental financing and has no credit card available, there is usually a good reason not to be that person’s bank,” according to thewealthydentist.com.

The posted video, just under 5 minutes long, gives the available choices that consumers have to apply to receive credit for dental and other healthcare procedures. The choices displayed in the video range from revolving credit lines to installment loans.

Consumers are urged to contact their dentist first to see if they will finance all or a portion of their necessary procedure before they commit to a line of credit that involves financing charges and interest.

The Food Myths they Find Most Irritating

0
0

Every other week, new research claims one food is better than another, or that some ingredient yields incredible new health benefits.

Storified by Lucette Delacroix · Sun, Jul 28 2013 23:08:57

Couple that with a few old wives' tales passed down from your parents, and each time you fire up your stove or sit down to eat a healthy gourmandia meal, it can be difficult separating food fact from fiction. 

Myth 1: Never Use Wooden Cutting Boards with Meat

This rule, one that I myself have repeated, comes from the notion that using a wooden cutting board will result in tiny scratches and cuts from your knife, and if you use that cutting board with meat-especially raw meat-that all those meat juices will settle into those tiny cuts in the board, and no matter how much you scrub, those germs aren't coming out. The point has even been made by people as esteemed as Alton Brown. The solution is to use plastic cutting boards, which can be dish washed and sanitized, and therefore must be safer, 


Myth 2: Adding Salt to Water Changes the Boiling Point, Cooks Food Faster

This is one of those food myths that doesn't want to die. You'll hear it repeated by home cooks and professional chefs, but any first year Chemistry student (or in my case, a Physics student taking Applied Thermodynamics) will be able to show you how little the amount of salt you would add to a pot of boiling water in your kitchen actually alters the boiling point.

Myth 3: Low Fat Foods Are Always Better For You
The high-fat/low-fat food myth is one that's been around for a long, long time. Ultimately, it's more important to flip over the food you're about to buy and read the label, see what kinds of fats are in it, and then make an educated decision instead of immediately reaching for the low-fat version of whatever it is you're planning to buy, thinking it'll be healthier. In fact, many products that are "low-fat" are low in good fats as opposed to the bad ones, or substitute in other ingredients like sugars and sodium that you don't want more of in your diet.

Myth 4: Dairy Is The Best Thing For Healthy Bones
When I asked Andy Bellatti about the most stubborn food myths he's encountered, he noted that too many people confuse "dairy" with "calcium," assume they're the same thing, and think that dairy is the best thing for healthy and strong bones. He explained, "Dairy contains calcium, but so do dark-leafy greens. Milk is fortified with vitamin D, just like all milk alternatives. Additionally, bone health goes beyond calcium and vitamin D. Vitamin K is important for bone health (dark leafy greens have it, dairy doesn't). Magnesium (present in foods like almonds, cashews, oatmeal, and potatoes, but missing in dairy products) also plays an important role in bone health."

Myth 5: Everyone Should Drink 64-Ounces or 8 Glasses of Water Every Day

This myth is a holdover from a poor attempt by a number of doctors who wanted to wage an ill-researched campaign against sodas and sugary drinks. Their hearts were in the right place, but the fact of the matter is that there's no uniform rule for how much water a person should drink in a given day. Alannah DiBona explains, "Water's been touted as the cure for all sins, and in some ways, it's true—proper hydration is necessary for just about anything body and mind-related. 


Common Food Myths · dawnj3

Myth 6: High-Sodium Foods Taste Salty, So Avoid Salty Snacks

Andy Belatti pointed this one out when we spoke, and it's especially important for people who are managing their salt and sodium intake because they're at risk for hypertension or diabetes. While new research indicates that low-sodium diets may not be better for your heart, they definitely reduce your chances of high blood pressure or type II diabetes. The trouble with managing sodium though, is that not all high-sodium foods taste salty when you eat them.


Myth 7: Eating Eggs Will Jack Up Your Cholesterol

A number of you took me to task on this one the last time I insinuated that eggs may not be healthy, and rightfully so. Alannah Dibona cleared this one up once and for all, and notes: "More often than not, a person diagnosed with high cholesterol will go out of his or her way to avoid eggs, which is really unnecessary. The body's cholesterol levels are influenced by certain saturated and trans fats; eggs contain very little saturated fat (1.5 grams of fat per large egg) and absolutely no trans fat. Depriving yourself of an egg means foregoing 13 naturally occurring vitamins and minerals (and a really delicious breakfast option)."


Myth 8: Searing Meat Seals In Juices

19th century German chemist Justus von Liebig was one of the first people to propose that by applying very high temperatures to meat you would create a "sealed" layer of cooked meat through which liquid inside the meat couldn't escape. Ever since then, the mantra has been repeated over and over again, specifically in reference to dry heating cuts of raw meat. 


Myth 9: Aluminum Foil and Cookware Is Linked to Alzheimer's Disease

If you haven't heard this one in a while, good-it was repeated often in the late 80s and through the 90s, and even though it's fallen out of fashion (largely because it's just not true) there are still a lot of people who believe it. This myth has its roots in research from the 1960s and 1970s that showed elevated levels of aluminum in the brains of Alzheimer's patients. The hyperbole alarm was subsequently sounded, and for years people were warned off of aluminum pots and pans, and even aluminum foil to store food.


Myth 10: Don't Eat After 6/7/8PM

Both Andy Belatti and Alannah DiBona called this myth out in different ways. Andy went right for its throat, noting that it is "A silly weight-loss gimmick. What matters is what you're eating throughout the day. Food eaten after 7 does not magically turn to fat. This is also a ridiculous 'tip' for someone who goes to bed at midnight or 1 AM. This tip often 'works' because people end up reducing their total caloric intake."
