My clinical areas of expertise include spinal surgery, especially cervical spine surgery where I have performed over 5,400 cervical spine procedures and recently was ranked the top cervical spine surgeon in the country by MPIRICA (an analytical company that reviews surgical outcomes). I believe the whole patient is important and we emphasize time with the patient and careful discussions regarding possible surgery. Our excellent results are due to a great team of physicians, nurses, CRNAs, and anesthesiologists. I also believe in the spiritual side in taking care of my patients. My other clinical area of expertise includes the surgical treatment of epilepsy with bringing the latest technologies including outpatient brain surgery using laser treatment, complicated high level mapping of the brain in areas that are near epileptic regions, and using the latest robotic techniques to place electrodes in order to localize the site of the epileptic focus.
Over the last decade we have developed the first ever Division of Global Neurosurgery and Neurology, where I serve as the Division Chief and the Division boasts 71 members including faculty, graduate and medical students, undergraduate students and an outstanding staff of researchers, most located in the Duke Global Health Institute. The Division has published over 50 manuscripts between 2016 and 2017. We have primarily worked in building capacity, teaching, and collaborative research projects in Uganda and Tanzania.

Sondra Radvanovsky and Scott Hendricks reach vocal heights in Aida.
AIDA by Giuseppe Verdi, directed by Tim Albery, conducted by Johannes Debus (Canadian Opera Company). To November 5, October 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 27, 30, November 2 and 5 at 7:30 pm, matinee October 24 at 2 pm. $62-$281, rush $22, standing room $12. 416-363-8231. See listing. Rating: NNN
Forget the elephants and pyramids.
The Canadian Opera Company's new production of Verdi's Aida passes on the work's ancient Egyptian roots and instead sets the story of love, revenge and patriotism in a 1960s totalitarian regime, vaguely Soviet in feel.
Here the title character is a cleaning woman; her lover, Radames, becomes a military man who turns to the bottle, and her rival, Amneris, the power-wielding politico daughter of the country's ruler.
Presented from Aida's viewpoint, this production is fine to hear - it has some of Verdi's best music - but less good to watch.
In the original, Aida (Sondra Radvanovsky, who shares the role with Michele Capalbo) is an Ethiopian slave, in love with and loved by Egyptian warrior Radames (Rosario La Spina); he in turn is desired by princess Amneris (Jill Grove), who suspects that Aida is her rival. The story becomes more complex when the Ethiopian king, Amonasro (Scott Hendricks), Aida's father, is captured and plots to destroy his enemies.
Director Tim Albery shakes the story up in his revision, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
The world he creates, often intentionally drab, is a male-dominated, violent society of neon-lit meeting rooms and military uniforms. The country's flag features a huge revolver, and soldiers prepare for battle in a voyeuristic, bloody temple scene.
But sometimes the result, designed by Hildegard Bechtler (sets) and John Morrell (costumes), is silly rather than striking. Amneris's tacky private rooms feature shelves of designer shoes and handbags, and the basement of the temple of Isis - why all these Egyptian references when the production has nothing to do with them? - resembles a theatre basement with discarded chairs and set pieces, including palm trees.
The Triumphal March becomes Aida's fantasy, where, after her physical abuse by the Egyptians, she imagines skeletal soldiers killing her countrymen and then having sex with gold lamé-clad women.
In theatrical terms, though, the real problem is that Albery doesn't evoke much tension between characters. It's there in the score, but the confrontations between Amneris and Aida or Radames and Amneris pack little punch. There's some feeling between Aida and Radames, but it's only when Amonasro appears that some excitement enters the production.
On a musical level, things are much better, with Johannes Debus conducting a lustrous reading of the score. La Spina's sings stylishly and without bellowing (as many tenors do), Grove's Amneris is vocally commanding and Hendricks makes a seductive, electric revolutionary.
And it's unlikely you'll hear a better Aida than Radvanovsky, who understands the score's drama and can scale her big voice down to float pure, hushed notes to the back of the house. You can almost forget the production's often bizarre concept when she's singing Aida's third-act aria, O patria mia, the sands of her homeland trickling through her fingers as she opens her sad heart to the audience. Gorgeous work.

EVP, global public affairs, Citigroup
The April revolt by Citigroup shareholders over the compensation package for CEO Vikram Pandit proved there's still plenty of anger at Wall Street, but Ed Skyler continued to prove his worth as lead communicator for the banking giant with a well-argued blog posting, acknowledging the rights of the shareholders, but also noting how Pandit's leadership has helped restore Citigroup to profitability in recent years. The fact that news coverage of the shareholder revolt seemed to fizzle out after only a few days is testament to Skyler's skills in defusing a crisis.
Though still under 40, Skyler has the experience of a battle-tested veteran, having joined Citigroup in 2010 after eight years with the administration of New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
There, he rose from press secretary/communications director, managing all communications including speechwriting, to deputy mayor of operations, helping the mayor with key budget, legislative, and labor negotiations. Skyler leads all of Citigroup's external and internal communications and also shares leadership of its government affairs and investor relations – meaning he'll be facing plenty of challenges in the coming year.

After the successful use of blockchain technology in cryptocurrency, especially Bitcoin, the distributed ledger technology (DLT) is transforming science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education. However, the DLT is not restricted as a platform for digital coins and could be used to streamline recordkeeping and transactions in every field, particularly the education sector. In short, the real value of emerging technology is much more than the existing use for virtual assets.
Delivered Blockchain Diplomas
In a first move, MIT has delivered blockchain diplomas to graduates last year through their smartphones. It is not only a digitized certificate but also secured one since it could not be easily falsified or lost, unlike a paper diploma. The key factor is that the DLT ensures that this key data is never lost under any conditions. At the same time, it also reduces the conventional clearinghouse or the university as an intermediary to issue transcripts. The new method meant that students could get direct access to their educational records on their smartphones.
Another key factor is that students do not need to have to take the physical paper with them or don't have to fear about burning down in worst cases and could move around the globe since it is digitalized and secured. This would mean that it would serve as more than a convenient tool. Aside from that, there is also the potential for storing credentials such as badges and certificates on the DLT. Such a scenario would mean that it would be easier for students to shift among universities.
Apart from this, students could have their own educational trajectory as there will not be barriers in transferring credits. Therefore, MOOCs could be completed easily for any meaningful credit leading to a degree. In the end, a student's complete record of education could be accessed through a button of touch. Any encryption of educational records would allow K-12 assessments to be coordinated better. The emerging technology could also pave the way for longitudinal assessment system tracking achievement relative to an annual test, which differs by state and grade level.
Blockchain could help transform personalized education by enabling an individual to take the appropriate level of the test compared to any retake for the same test for several years. For instance, an eighth-grade student, who passed a tenth-grade geometry test, could be in a position to take forward the accomplishment wherever the individual goes enabling to continue education. The DLT is regarded as the most disruptive one after the iPhone and has the potential to be used in different sectors.

Loic Jegousse, CISA, CISM
"If one is forever cautious, can one remain a human being?"—Aleksander Solzhenitsyn
The human brain is inadequately trained to manage risk effectively: Countless people continue to smoke tobacco, drive without a seatbelt and engage in other hazardous behaviors. Individuals may accept unreasonable risk (e.g., get a loan while already indebted to invest on a speculative investment) if it can yield a higher payoff.
Running against human nature, regulatory and governance pressures—e.g., the US Sarbanes-Oxley Act, Basel II, International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards—are prompting management to systematically identify significant risks and mitigate their impact. In risk management literature, risk is seen as a function of the probability of occurrence and impact. These are difficult to assess with precision. In real life, humans tend to underestimate ("accept") risks that have a low or remote probability of occurrence (even those that could have a catastrophic impact) for reasons including scarcity of resources (especially time) and tendency to focus on short-term objectives. In the business and technology world, managers struggle to implement sustainable and cost-effective means to balance risks and operational constraints.
This article explores the concepts of a risk management model in the context of change management to IT systems, and their ramifications with respect to system life cycle controls. However, the model and its concepts could be applied to other business risk areas. Figure 1 illustrates a practical, risk-based approach to IT systems that proposes a balance between two extreme models (noncompliant vs. highly compliance-focused). This approach is aiming to deliver:
The main critique of the highly compliance-focused approach is that it is resource-consuming and difficult to apply consistently. In real life, an illustration of such an approach applied to the airline industry would be that all components of the aircraft, as well as passengers and staff, would be thoroughly and consistently checked for structural damage, identity of passengers would be checked, inspection of luggage would be conducted, etc. All possible scenarios that could compromise safety (e.g., liquids, hidden explosives, collusion with staff) would be examined, ranked and managed accordingly in a series of standard procedures and checklists. Such conservative approaches, while robust on paper, are not necessarily sustainable in the long term, as large costs would be involved.
At the other end of the spectrum, a noncompliant approach would involve a highly judgmental, undocumented and subjective assessment of risks. In the airline analogy, the unstructured control would be left to airline crew screening sample passengers via an informal procedure, e.g., using observation and simple inquiry only. Such an approach would cause unreasonable acceptance of risk to passengers' safety and would understandably cause public concerns.
When it comes to IT systems life cycle and change control, there is often some confusion as to how to comply with certain regulatory requirements relating to computerized systems, without producing massive amounts of documentation for a simple change or a large implementation project. For instance, publicly traded organizations encountered an excessive paperwork burden during the first years of enforcement of the US Sarbanes-Oxley Act requirements for systems that were remotely related to financial reporting. Other examples are the "good practices" from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which require computerized systems to be maintained in a validated state.
Taking, as an example, a complex business application, such as an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, for which code changes or extensions occur frequently, some areas of the application system, such as payroll, cash management or general ledger, are subject to a higher level of data integrity and system security. When a particular change is made to an application system or its supporting hardware components, how can management ensure that it will not have any unforeseen negative impact on certain functionalities or data? On the one hand, IT could take a hands-off approach and hold the business users accountable for data integrity. Such a noncompliant approach could rapidly cause soaring audit costs, regulatory issues and lack of trust toward the systems. On the other hand, performing extensive validation, regression testing and documentation for the entire system every time a change is made to ensure that everything works as expected can be expensive and would not be sustainable in the long term. There needs to be a compromise between these two models. The solution is to use a risk assessment framework that will assist in simplifying the degree of system life cycle controls relative to perceived risks.
The proposed risk-based approach to IT systems is based on classes of risk (hereafter referred to as risk factors). The value of the risk factors relates to a situation that has a combined probability and impact value, which can be expressed as a monetary value (e.g., net present value) or in a qualitative manner. Risk factors are to be defined based on the potential damage to the organization, as well as the existence of predetermined methods that can be used to reduce the damage. As an example, this article further details a two-dimensional model that involves the following risk factors:
To operate such a process, management needs to develop explicit criteria to define what the low, medium or high risk ratings mean. For instance, in the context of regulatory risk, high risk criteria are defined per an explicit list of systems controls that are subject to regulatory requirements. Low risk criteria include instances with a very remote likelihood to modify the integrity, availability or confidentiality of records or sensitive data. Each risk factor is assessed for a low, medium or high value. The results are then plotted on the risk level chart, which returns the resulting risk level (e.g., 1 to 4), as shown in figure 2.
The risk levels are defined in a manner to provide a higher level of management oversight as the business risk factors increase. As an illustration, the risk levels may be defined as shown in figure 3.
In addition, the resulting risk levels involve an increasing amount of system life cycle controls, as the regulatory risk factors increase. This would include increased effort with respect to system documentation, testing and code review. Figure 4 is an illustration of the relationship between the risk levels and the typical documentation deliverables required for various stages of the process/life cycle (e.g., design, testing, promotion, validation).
The risk-based approach should be supported by standard operating procedures (SOPs) to provide instructions and training to the affected personnel. Frameworks such as COBIT, IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) and Good Automated Manufacturing Practices (GAMP) provide high-level requirements for the design of IT processes over the system life cycle, application management, access control and change control.
When designing a risk-based approach, it is important not to underestimate the effort required in performing an accurate inventory of automated systems functions or situations that are linked to high risk factors. This inventory is the backbone of the risk-based procedure, and its accuracy and simplicity will enable an effective process. A key success factor is the adequate involvement and support of the various quality assurance, privacy, legal, audit, regulatory affairs or compliance teams in high regulatory risk situations. Some IT system changes may, based on risk ratings, require sign-off from key stakeholders before proceeding.
Organizations that have successfully implemented risk-based approaches have observed cost savings, cycle time and customer satisfaction improvements. Management can appreciate that lower risk change requests can be processed swiftly, while still demonstrating the rigorous analysis that was performed to justify a low risk level. In addition, key stakeholders (even outside of IT) are now systematically consulted before approving system changes that are deemed as higher risk. Such an approach can also deliver increased governance over those particular risks that are not tolerated within the organization.

George Huertas '16 / Emertainment Monthly Staff Writer
As reporter Gary Webb (Jeremy Renner) learns in Kill the Messenger (which is based on true events), there's more than one way to be the victim of an assassination. Working for a relatively small newspaper publication, The San Jose Mercury News, Webb is nevertheless able to discover a major, far-reaching conspiracy involving a collaboration between the CIA and drug runners. In exchange for funds to help the Contra rebels, the CIA would turn a blind-eye to drug lords running cocaine and other like substances into the United States. After uncovering the conspiracy, Webb found himself crucified in the media by rival newspapers and government employees alike. Eventually, the smear campaign proved too much for Webb to handle, and he committed suicide.
In the hands of a filmmaker such as Oliver Stone, Kill the Messenger could have easily transformed into a preachy parable on the nature of truth in the media. Instead, thanks to Michael Cuesta's tight direction and Renner's dedicated performance, the film instead becomes a sobering look at how there are few things uglier than the truth. That is, except for the people who deny it. Webb's opponents are not just the CIA honchos he attempts to expose. They are also his rivals at larger metropolitan publications like The Washington Post. The moment that they smell blood in the water in the form of Webb's earth-shattering story, they seek to tear the story apart. Witnesses are questioned who later recant their stories, questions are raised about Webb's supposed credibility, and Webb's story becomes distorted to the point of being unsalvageable. In a small but impactful role, Michael Sheen's Fred Weil notes to Renner, when attempting to discredit a report, you merely draw the spotlight to the one who reported it in the first place. "You become the story," he says with saddened resignation.
Kill the Messenger is a compelling, sterling work, featuring a first-rate cast and solid direction. While the film does not offer much in the way of revolutionary filmmaking, it does offer an excellently executed, competent thriller. While Renner does most of the heavy lifting as Webb, portraying a man who is alternately prideful and arrogant and weak and depressed, he is more than ably assisted by his supporting cast. In particular, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Rosemarie DeWitt perform admirably as Webb's editor and wife, respectively.
Kill the Messenger is a powerful, suspenseful work of filmmaking that depicts the struggle of integrity against the forces of the powerful and how sometimes, integrity cannot win out.

Back pain could be nagging, constant and at times unbearable and even excruciating. It could impact the quality of life quite severely and could also make a person confined to bed or restrict his or her movement quite drastically. Hence, it is quite normal for such people to look at various ways and means by which they can get relief from the pain and other associated symptoms. When we refer to the typical back pain, it is caused because of some problems with the spinal cord. The spinal cord has millions of nerve roots in it and as we age, the vertebrae which holds the spinal cord because tight and constricted. Further because of obesity and other age related problems, the muscles also slacken and they start compressing the spinal cord and the nerve roots. This is the main reason for those severe bouts of pain which continues to harass millions of us day in and day out. There are many others who complain of tingling feeling in the legs (mostly on one side). This is because the compressed nerves of the spinal cord are unable to work freely and this causes such pains and tingling feeling. Hence we must try and find out ways by which the problems can be addressed. Inversion tables are one such option which is becoming popular these days and it is therefore interesting to learn more about it over the next few lines. If we spend some time looking at sites like https://www.yourmindyourbody.org/best-inversion-table/ we will be able to know more about these equipments and whether it is worth investing in them or not.
What Is This Treatment All About
The logic and concept of inversion therapy is quite simple. It is about making the body to be in a state of reverse-gravity. Instead of the gravity being concentrated in the feet and lower extremities, the body is left in an inverse state. The head is on the floor and the feet face to sky. This reduces the stress on the muscles and joints and could also help in expanding the vertebrae. When this happens, it is believed that it could lead to decompression of the spinal cord and give relief to the roots of the nerves which are in the spinal cord. This can help relieve back pain.
Additionally it also could lead to improved blood circulation in the upper parts of the body including shoulders, neck, face, eyes, and ears and last but not the least brain. It might also help in better traction of the vertebrae and when this happens your posture might also improve quite significantly. Hence, there are seemingly many numbers of benefits when you use the inversion table properly and use the right therapy. However, there are many who are skeptical and not very supportive of these inversion tables. They believe that it is against the law of nature and could cause problems and health issues. Yes, it is a fact that those who suffer from hypertension, increased blood pressure or even those who have cardiovascular and heart related ailments and problems, should do these inversion therapies carefully. They must always take the opinion of the doctor and only then move forward. When you body is an inverse state, your heart beat becomes slower and this inhibits the heart to pump more blood to the various parts of the body. This could lead to blood pressure building up in various upper extremities of the body. It could be damaging for all those who have glaucoma and various other such eye problems.
Inversion Tables Worth the Cost for Chiropractic Care
Inversion Table Investment in Medford, NY If you're looking to improve your health, particularly from back pain, you've probably looked into different types of treatment. More and more medical professionals are trying to avoid invasive treatments like surgery in favor of alternatives that can ease pain without taking drastic measures. One alternative that you may have heard about is inversion therapy. This treatment involves hanging upside down or at an angle to relieve pain. You might be wondering if purchasing an inversion table is worth the investment. At Total Chiropractic Care and Wellness, we're committed to giving you information about treatments that can potentially decrease pain. We also want to let you know the facts about inversion tables and the benefits and potential risks of inversion therapy.
What Are Inversion Tables?
Inversion tables are designed to take gravitational pressure off of the spine and your nerve roots according to the Mayo Clinic website. The idea is to eliminate the force of gravity and relieve muscle spasms and spinal compression, according to the website healthcentral.com. Doctors and physical therapists recommend inversion therapy because it can provide a traction force that decompresses spinal discs.
According to the Wall Street Journal, use of an inversion table can also improve circulation and combat stress, while studies have shown that the therapy can help with relaxation. The tables run from $150 to $650 for home models and $2,000 for motorized tables. Tables are adjusted for height and weight and users shift their center of gravity by raising their arms.
Inversion Therapy as a Means to Avoid Back Surgery
One of the biggest reasons people choose to use inversion tables is to avoid back surgery. This was the subject of a 2012 study conducted by British researchers. They took 26 backache and sciatica patients who were candidates for surgery and divided them into two groups. Both of the groups were given physiotherapy, while 13 patients were also given inversion therapy. Of those, 10 of the patients, or about 77 percent, were able to avoid the operating table. The researchers concluded that "intermittent traction with an inversion device resulted in a significant reduction in the need for surgery." They suggested that more studies with a larger number of patients are justified.
Other studies have found that inversion table use reduces absenteeism from work, according to the Newsmax website. American military researchers have found that inversion increases the space between vertebrae, relieving back pain, according to Newsmax.
Concerns About Inversion Tables
There are downsides to using inversion tables. Hanging upside down does increase blood pressure and pressure in the eyes. For that reason, those who have glaucoma or uncontrolled hypertension should not take part in inversion therapy. You should check with a doctor before starting, especially if you have a heart or circulatory condition. Some people who try inversion therapy become dizzy, particularly if they come up too fast, according to the Journal. It's a good idea to start a therapy program slowly at a small degree of inversion, no more than 15 degrees, and don't spend more than 5 minutes at a time on the table, according to healthcentral.com.

Amazing Retro Pro Athlete Advertisements
1.3k views 25 items
Today's advertising agencies could learn a thing or two from these retro athlete advertisements. For starters, the ads don't really have to make any sense. So, stop trying to make everything "make sense." Just have fun. It's also important to note that the athletes you're featuring in the ad don't necessarily need to have something in common with the product they're endorsing. Again, stop trying to make sense. Just do whatever. Athlete + whatever = just whatever. Do whatever you want. Once you follow these simple rules, you're guaranteed to have a pro athlete advertising memory that will last a lifetime, and therefore the product you are advertising will have a huge growth in sales.

It's a truth universally acknowledged that men will generally earn more than women in any given industry.
Even in female-dominated circles, men still come top – just look at womenswear designers and hairdressers.
And it's also the case in fitness.
Despite the fact that personal training is one of the very few careers where women tend to earn more than men, when it comes to Instagram fitness, men still come out top.
Or rather one man: Joe Wicks.
The Fit List, compiled by Forza Supplements, has calculated the earnings of the top 'fitstagrammers' based on how much they charge for social media posts and their various commercial deals.
Over 80% of the top 50 'fitsagrammers' have been found to be women but the highest earner of all is PT and fitness coach Joe Wicks – despite only coming 21st in the list for numbers of followers.
The top-earning woman on the list is Sommer Ray, a 21-year-old influencer with nearly 17 million followers.
She's reported to earn as much as £20,000 per post and she supplements her modest income with various sponsorship deals and personal appearances which boost her total earnings up to around £4million a year.
Tidy work if you can get it.
In second place is 31-year-old fitness instructor Michelle Lewin who rakes in about £3.5 million a year, closely followed by LA-based fitness guru Jen Selter whose 11.5 million followers help her to earn £3.2 million a year.
Only eight men feature in the top 50 list, with Joe Wicks coming out top – earning a ridiculous £33,000 a day.
'Fitness is big business and millions of people want to get in shape like the top workout gurus they see on social media,' saysa spokesman for Forza Supplements.
'Clearly female fitstagrammers are far more popular on social media and 42 of the top 50 are women, and none of the top 10 is a man.
'Yet there is a clear gender pay gap amongst the very highest earners because Joe Wicks is making three times as much as the highest ranked female on the list, even though she is number one and he is at (21).'
However, Lee goes on to say that he thinks The Body Coach's days at number one are running out.
'Joe Wicks may be the top earner now, but I suspect he is going to get toppled by a woman in the next few years, thanks to the power of Instagram.'

William Marshall Fettig
Student, Webb Institute
William Marshall Fettig
Webb Institute
Major: Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering
Why this school?
I actually decided that I wanted to attend Webb in the eighth grade when I discovered the school while writing a research essay. While most children wanted to be professional athletes, firefighters or policemen I had decided that I wanted to be an architect. As I grew older I felt pulled toward the technical rigor of engineering and when I found out I could combine architecture, engineering and boats I was immediately sold. The unique combination of academic rigor, practical work experience and the close-knit feeling of family provide everything I could have realistically hoped for in a school.
What keeps you here?
Really, when I consider all of the tremendous opportunities Webb Institute has provided me, I would be insane to leave. Over my three years at Webb I've been given the opportunity to live and work in Jeanerette, La.; Philadelphia and Houston. I've sailed across the Pacific from Oakland to Honolulu, and I've been able to study at the University of Southampton. From the December of my sophomore year to the following July, a mere eight months later, I had traveled from Munich to Honolulu (with numerous stops along the way) all because of Webb.
Even more important than the opportunities Webb has afforded and continues to afford me are the relationships that Webb forges. Over the course of the last three years of late nights, impossible assignments and extracurricular activities, my classmates and I have built a bond that will, without a doubt, last a lifetime. The familial atmosphere, not just within classes but throughout all of the Webb culture, is by far the most attractive aspect of Webb Institute, in my opinion. On that note, I'd like to thank the Webb faculty, staff and all the alumni past and future for the wonderful community they've helped to create.
What is your major, and what career do you intend to pursue?
Like all Webb students, I am pursuing a double major in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering. While at Webb I've become increasingly captivated by the salvage and marine casualty response field. The ever shifting problems and quick pace of the industry appeal to me greatly, and I hope to have the opportunity to work with, and learn from, the professionals currently in the salvage industry upon graduation.
What one thing should prospective employers know about you?
First and foremost, employers should know that I am a highly motivated individual who likes to think forward and plan for the future. After my time at Webb, I'm no stranger to long hours and late nights and I am more than willing to put in the work necessary to solve any problem thrown at me. The wide knowledge base I have developed at Webb and the practical work experience I have acquired will help me to hit the ground running in any business environment.
Tell us about your time at sea training or internships – who did you work for or sail with?
Thus far, I've worked a total of four internships during my time at Webb. As a freshman, I worked at the Metal Shark Aluminum Boatyard in Jeanerette, La. While at Metal Shark I was able to follow the vessels through the entire build process. For two months, my classmate and I moved through the router shop, bending shop, welding shop and fitting shop. We were also allowed to tag along for sea trials on a Response Boat - Small. During the summer of 2015, I sailed aboard the Matson Matsonia carrying vehicles and containers from Oakland to the Honolulu. Half of this time was spent on deck working with the mates and the latter half was spent in the engine room performing maintenance with the engineers. My two most recent internships, during the winter and summer of 2016, I have spent with the American Bureau of Shipping. For the winter I worked inside the Philly Shipyard, as a new build surveyor. During this time, I gained a greater appreciation for the complexity of supply chain management and manufacturing processes in commercial shipyards. Over the past eight weeks I've worked at the ABS headquarters in Houston in the Rapid Response Damage Assessment (RRDA) department. While working here I've worked primarily in HECSALV building virtual ship models for damage stability analysis.

About Northern Expo
The Northern Expo, in three decades, has established itself as a regular autumn show fixture and one of the best in the U.K, boasting an impressive line-up of cattle and attracting the world's top judges.
Northern Expo's beginnings came with the decision to hold a club show in 1982 by members of the North West Holstein Breeders Club, then a fledgling club.
The 1982 show immediately enjoyed popularity, attracting a creditable 74 head of cattle from 21 exhibitors that year. While early honours were dominated by the Parboldhall and Greengill prefixes, enthusiasm, quality and numbers continued to grow resulting in more than one re-location for the event.
Over the last decade and more the show has witnessed continued development, which always welcomes new faces to enter as exhibitors. The quality and professionalism of the event has rapidly developed under a progressive show committee.
Northern Expo in its present form was born in 1996, welcoming entries from beyond the original club's membership and attracting the very best Holsteins from as far apart as Doncaster, Aberdeen, Blackpool and the Scottish Borders.

Virgin locks are undoubtedly one of the best options. These extensions are manufactured from real hair that's completely natural without the chemicals or processes. These last longer and could be worn while swimming and will be also blown dry, curled and straightened depending on the style you're trying to achieve.
Remy tresses are bundles of hair which can be put together maintaining your roots together. The advantage of these specific hair extensions is because they don't tangle easily. They look healthier than the majority of the other available choices available on the market and can be colored and treated because you would your normal hair.

Fanzone and French flair sets city up for a colourful clash
A French takeover may be afoot in some of the capital's main sports bars, with Robin Libourel (23) from Montpellier insisting the game is all Les Bleus fans in Dublin are thinking about.
"It will be a French invasion (in the Living Room pub) - there will be more than the Irish," Robin said.
"I will be sad for my country (if we lose), but I will be happy because I'm proud of the Irish people and how they have acted in France," he added.
Fabrice Taupe, manager of La Maison in Dublin 2, thinks Ireland deserve the win more.
"With the Irish you can see it's more magical," he said.
Meanwhile, Ireland fans not fortunate enough to make it to France for our Euro last-16 game will be able to avail of their own 'fanzone' in the heart of the capital.
Dublin City Council has confirmed Smithfield will be set up for supporters to watch the showdown on Sunday.
The council said it would be a free, family event and would be a "strictly" alcohol-free area.
Fans who want to attend the zone have been advised that access to the Smithfield Plaza would be strictly by the New Church Street entrance only, to the south east end of the square. It will open at 12.30pm.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'Proverbs 3:5-6' tag.
Newsflash: You can't hold everything. Your arms aren't big enough.
But in a way, we do try to hold everything as we go through our daily lives. We try to hold the whole world as we know it together through our own efforts. So often, we find our arms growing weary, and it all falls down around us.
There's a passage from the Old Testament that has been rolling around in my brain today.
Trust in Jehovah with all your heart, and lean not upon thine own understanding: In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he will direct thy paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6 (ASV)
Hmm. I thought God wanted us to use our own understanding. To use our best judgment and not always expect Him to step in every time we're in a tiny bind.
In other translations of the Bible, I've heard the term "understanding" translated as "intelligence" or "prudence." But the version that brings it home for me is the Good News Translation:
Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Never rely on what you think you know. Remember the Lord in everything you do, and he will show you the right way.
Proverbs 3:5-6 (GNT)
This makes sense to me. "Never rely on what you think you know."
That must be how we do it. Keep the faith, do your best, and leave the rest up to God. Hold everything? Consider it done. No matter how hard we think we're trying, He's doing all the heavy lifting, anyway.

Public Liability
Claim Procedure Overview
Notice of Claim and Reply
The claimant must give written notice in the correct form to the respondent. Notice must be given within 9 months for non medical negligence matters. Within that period, 1 month after the day the claimant first instructs a law practice to act on the person's behalf in seeking damages for the personal injury and the person against whom the proceeding is proposed to be started is identified.
A person to whom notice is given must, in writing and within 1 month after receiving it advise whether or not the person considers that it is a proper respondent to the claim. If a respondent it must give the claimant written notice whether or not it is satisfied that the notice is a complying one.
A respondent who receives a complying notice may, within the time prescribed under the Regulations, add someone else as a contributor by written contribution notice claiming an indemnity from, or contribution towards, the respondent's liability. In turn a contributor must within 1 month after receiving a contribution notice, give the respondent who gave the contribution notice a written response.
Information Gathering
A claimant must cooperate with the respondent and, in particular must provide the respondent with copies of reports and other documentary material (including written statements made by the claimant or by witnesses) in the claimant's possession about the circumstances of the accident or the claimant's medical condition or prospects of rehabilitation. The claimant must also comply with a request by the respondent to undergo, at the respondent's expense a medical examination by a doctor to be selected by the claimant from a panel of at least 3 doctors nominated in the request.
Equally, the respondent must cooperate with a claimant and, in particular must provide the claimant with copies of reports and other documentary material in the respondent's possession about the circumstances of the accident or the claimant's medical condition or prospects of rehabilitation; and must, at the claimant's request, give the claimant information that is in the respondent's possession, or can be found out from the insured person, about the circumstances of, or the reasons for, the accident.
A claimant or respondent is not obliged to disclose information or documentary material if the information or documentary material is protected by legal professional privilege.
Decision on Liability
Within 6 months after an respondent receives a complying notice, the respondent must take reasonable steps to inform itself of the circumstances of the accident out of which the claim arises. It must give the claimant written notice stating whether liability is admitted or denied; and if contributory negligence is claimed the degree of the contributory negligence expressed as a percentage.
Compulsory Conference
Before the claimant brings an action in a court for damages for personal injury arising out of an accident, there must be a conference of the parties (the compulsory conference). Either party may call the compulsory conference at a time and place agreed between both parties; or if the relevant date (6 months after the claimant gave notice to the respondent of the claim) has passed—at a reasonable time and place nominated by the party calling the conference.

Workshop on the Implementation of the MPOA, Addis Ababa, 13-14th December 2012
Workshop Concept Note:
A. Introduction
Less than five years from the deadline for achieving the Millennium Development Goals in 2015, the African continent still faces great challenges in achieving MDGs 4, 5 and 6 on Women and Children's Health including Sexual and Reproductive Health across board. Despite that global and African reproductive and sexual health including MNCH (Maternal, Newborn and Child Health) indices have improve, overall progress in Africa remains insufficient, with Maternal, Newborn and Child Mortality rates remaining the highest in the world.
National, regional and global efforts to improve women and children's health have increased exponentially since the Millennium Declaration in 2000, and yielded an unprecedented amount of political commitment. The 2nd Ordinary Session of the Conference of African Ministers of Health, meeting in Gaborone, Botswana, in October 2005, adopted the Continental Policy Framework on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights which was endorsed by AU Heads of State in January 2006 to further strengthen the capacity of Member states to address challenges to Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights as strategy to facilitate progress towards the Millennium Development Goals. In 2009 Health Ministers met under the theme of Universal Access to Quality Health Services: Improving Maternal, Neonatal and Child Health, and with the African Union Commission (AUC) launched the Campaign for Accelerated Reduction of Maternal & Child Mortality (CARMMA); in July 2010 the AU Kampala Heads of States Summit focused on the theme of MNCH.
The Continental Policy Framework on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights addresses the reproductive health and rights challenges faced by Africa. It addresses health sector strengthening, gender mainstreaming, and SRH commodity security. The AU Ministers of Health posited that SRH should be among the highest six priorities of the health sector. The AU Health Ministers further articulated a concrete, costed Plan of Action (POA) for implementing the Framework which was endorsed by the Summit of the Heads of State and Government in Khartoum, Sudan, in January 2007.
This Maputo Plan of Action for the Operationalisation of the Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights Continental Policy Framework seeks to take the continent forward towards the goal of universal access to comprehensive sexual and reproductive health services in Africa by 2015. It is a short term plan built on nine action areas: Integration of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services into PHC, repositioning family planning, developing and promoting youth-friendly services, reducing unsafe abortion, quality safe motherhood, resource mobilization, commodity security and monitoring and evaluation.
The Plan is premised on SRH in its fullest context as defined at ICPD/PoA 1994 taking into account the life cycle approach. These elements of SRHR includes Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health (ASRH); Safe Motherhood and newborn care; Safe Abortion Care; Family planning; Prevention and Management of Sexually Transmitted Infections including HIV/AIDS; Prevention and Management of Infertility; Prevention and Management of Cancers of the Reproductive System; Addressing mid-life concerns of men and women; Health and Development; the Reduction of Gender-based Violence; Interpersonal Communication and Counselling; and Health education.
The Plan learns from best practices and cost-effective interventions and responds to vulnerability in all its forms, from gender inequality, to rural living and the youth, to specific vulnerable groups such as displaced persons, migrants and refugees. It recognizes the importance of creating an enabling environment, supportive community and women's empowerment and the role of men.
In consonance with the declaration of the AU Assembly in Kampala 2010, a status update on MNCH highlighting the status of the essential elements of the MPOA was presented to the July 2012 Summit of the AU.
Therefore it is important that efforts are in place to ensure synergy between the various activities of the relevant AUC departments as well as interfacing with the missions of the AU Member states to facilitate a collective and cohesive effort to enhance the implementation of the essential elements of the MPoA.

John 20:27b – Do not be unbelieving, but believing. (NKJV)
These days, a lot is said and written about the irrelevancy of our Christian faith. Some months ago, there was a report in our local paper about a minister of the gospel who had preached for many years and submitted faith-based articles to a number of newspapers. Then suddenly, he announced in one of his columns that he no longer believed. All religions are manmade, he said, a figment of people's imagination. In the weeks following, there were a couple more articles in which he tried to justify his position, but then, there were no more. A minister in our province recently announced that she is an atheist, yet she preaches in a Christian church. It makes you wonder. There are so many people who just don't believe, and so many who at one time did believe but then lost their faith.
This is not new. At the beginning of His earthly ministry, Jesus spoke in the synagogue in Nazareth one Sabbath. He quoted a passage from Isaiah 61:1-2.
Luke 4:18-19 – The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord. (NKJV)
And then He began His sermon: "Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing." (Luke 4:21b NKJV) Pretty soon, the people in the synagogue were very upset by His statements.
Luke 4:28-30 – So all those in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, and rose up and thrust Him out of the city; and they led Him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, that they might throw Him down over the cliff. Then passing through the midst of them, He went His way. (NKJV)
All through His ministry, there were those who believed and those who did not. In one of my Bibles, the headings of some passages about Jesus in the book of John read like headlines in a newspaper: "Rejected by His Own"; "Many Disciples Turn Away"; "Jesus' Brothers Disbelieve"; "Rejected by the Authorities"; "Renewed Efforts to Stone Jesus"; "The Plot to Kill Jesus"; "Betrayal and Arrest in Gethsemane"; "Peter Denies Jesus".
Since then, all through history, millions of people have believed and still believe in Him, but there have been, and there are even now, many who reject Him. How important it is for us who believe to steadfastly confess that Jesus is the only Son of God, the Messiah, the Saviour, the King of kings, and Lord of lords!
Prayer: Our Father in heaven, there are so many people who just don't believe, so many people who have lost their faith. We pray, Lord, that You would speak to the hearts of people so that the fire of faith may be kindled or relit, that many more people would believe in Christ as Saviour and Lord. We offer this prayer in His name. Amen.
John 20:27b – Do not be unbelieving, but believing. (NKJV)
May it be so Joel.
Thank you for sharing this devotional with us. Blessings.
Praise God and pray that those who gave up or recant the gospel will have their eyes and hearts opened anew.
Thank you for your message and prayer for which I shall repeat this prayer for my sister and family. God Bless.
Dear Joel:
Thank you so much for writing this devotional and praying to our Lord for those who don't believe. I pray this prayer everyday as well.
May God bless you always.
Good Morning Joel
I pray with you, for the pouring forth of our God's mercy. That as the time draws near, the eyes and ears of many may be opened, and their hearts may be soften, and receive the Way of salvation. Yes, Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Rejoice Joel.
Thank you to Joel for giving this devotional today. I know of the atheist pastor because friends of mine attended the church and many folks left church including my friends and unfortunately although they have never lost their faith, they have not entered a church since then. So sad. Praying that God will bless those who were blinded by this unbeliever.
Enjoy your writings.
These people bother me that they say they no longer believe but are still in the pulpit. I do not care that they are "good people" if they no longer believe I think they should be removed. Now maybe that is just me.
I remember a fiasco when a man preached from the pulpit how he was going to take over the church and pulpit with his new denomination.
That was stopped quickly but alot of hurt feelings.
Then there was the man we personally knew. He decided he could no longer do, in good faith, infant baptism. He did it right by going to Presbytery first. He resigned as minister of that congregation and I have always felt he did it correctly.
Thank you for your truth today.
Thank you, God bless your writing and prayer.
Thanks for the reminder that all is not as it seems – even in the church.
This fact underscores the need for each one of us to be discerning, especially when it comes to matters of faith. Even unbelievers can present a logical argument for the existence of God, in an effort to persuade us to believe that they, too, are cultivating a belief in God.
We must ever be certain of what we hold true so that they cannot shake our foundations.
Well said Joel: We who still believe must be strong and bold and stand firm in our faith. Not to weaken and say, like some, that all will be saved, that all religions are the same. Praise the Lord for your faithfulness.
Thanks Joel, please continue to send to me. For us to not give up on hope yet we need each other to build one another.
Yes. Getting a negative response has dissuaded so many of us from sharing the good news! We are afraid of pushing people away. But the church will not survive if we let the enemy use his tricks on us to keep us silent and ineffective. I pray for the courage and wisdom to be open about my faith with those I don't know, so that they may perhaps, come to faith. There is a lot of anger and disdain out there toward the church. Thanks for the encouragement.
