Sunday humor.
An angry black tribe leader went to the priest to complain about his 10th child being white, after all the others were black. The priest who was the only white man for 200 miles said "some things are made by god and we cannot explain them". He went on to point out that there was one black sheep in the flock of white ones and no one knows why. The Tribesman‘s mood quickly changed and he said, “Father I will keep quiet about the white baby of you keep quiet about the black sheep, Ok?

Enterprise Risk Management: Mitigation Strategies
Researches shows that the primary drivers of ERM are
- Corporate Governance requirements and other regulatory pressures
- Management and investor’s demand of strategic and operating risk.
The benefits of full ERM implementation are increased management accountability and better governance practices, greater managerial understanding of and consensus about corporate strategy, and, in some cases, higher credit ratings and hence a lower cost of capital.
The tools and techniques to measure the impact of strategic risks appear to vary, depending on the stage of ERM implementation. For advanced ERM companies, the most frequently used tools and techniques are key risk indicators, self-assessments, and scenario analysis. A general framework widely used among banks is COBIT developed by ISACA. COBIT was used effectively for managing risk within the technology teams to ensure that appropriate IT governance and IT assurance processes were utilized throughout the bank. A case study in included with this post to demonstrated the steps and benefit obtained from the implementation.

How to stop google sync asking outlook profile.
I’m been a regular user of Google Calc sync for a long time. It allows you to sync events between Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook Calendar. You'll be able to determine the direction of information flow, as well as the sync frequency.
However, one of the problems the user community has found very annoying is that every time it syncs, it asks to select the outlook profile, even after selecting the default checkbox, making it not really “background and automated”, leaving the profile box open until someone manually clicks on it.
The user community has tried several ways to work around this issue as Google doesn’t seem to come out with a fix, until today one of the users suggested trying MobileMe from Apple. Here’s the instruction suggested.
“Install MobileMe (free Apple syncing software). You can download MobileMe from softpedia without signing up. You don't need to configure anything or even run it after installing MobileMe (I installed MobileMe Control Panel 1.6.3)
After installing MobileMe, I no longer get the "choose profile" window when I sync and Outlook 2010 is closed.
Both of my computers (Win 7 64 bit with Outlook 2010; Win XP 32 bit with Outlook 2010) had this same issue, and after installing MobileMe, they both are syncing flawlessly between Google Calendar and Outlook 2010.”
Without hesitation, I tested the solution and it works! Until Google comes out with a fixed release for this issue, this would do the job. Try it out for yourself.

วิพากษ์การศึกษาไทยในปัจจุบัน
เด็กเรียนรู้เรื่องป่า โดยไม่เคยเข้าป่า เด็กเรียนเรื่องข้าวโดยไม่เคยเห็นทุ่งนา เห็นแต่ข้าวในจาน เด็กเรียนเรื่อสิ่งแวดล้อมเป็นพิษโดยไม่เคยไปเก็ข้อมูลชยะ แยกขยะ กำจัดขยะด้วยตนเอง
ผู้ใหญ่เรียนรื่องการพัฒนาท้องถิ่น จากตำรา ไม่เคยไปหมู่บ้าน ไม่เคยทำงานพัฒนา ทำให้ได้แค่ท่องจากตำราว่า แผนแม่บทชุมชนคืออะไร วิสาหกิจชุมชนคืออะไร กองทุนหมู่บ้านคืออะไร
