This represents my current summary of the family of John Wright of Brunswick Co., Va., who disappears about 1795. He is possibly a brother to 1783 (year of death) Robert Wright of Brunswick Co., Va., (place of death) and his known brother 1784 Uriah Wright of Brunswick Co., Va., and is probably related to William Wright (Stanhope). As noted, this John Wright was also known as John Wright (Taylor). John Wright of Waqua Creek, Brunswick Co., Virginia On 26 October 1772 John Batten Dobyns wrote his last will and testament, a document witnessed by signature of John Wright, the mark of Mary Wright, and Richard Littlepage.[1] This will, proved on 22 March 1773 describes two parcels of land left to his sons: a tract of 100 acres described as adjacent Matthews, Martin, and Williams, and a 100 acre tract described as adjacent Stith and Atkinson. On 15 June 1778 John Wright bought 101 acres from Jonathan Williams and his wife Elizabeth. The indenture was witnessed by Robert Wright, Robert Kennedy, and Henry Martin.[2] The land was described as �adjoining the land of John Williams, Ch. Withers and William Townsend�� Robert Wright can be shown to be 1783 Robert Wright of Brunswick Co., Virginia, who also bought land on Waqua Creek in the northern half of Brunswick Co., Virginia. On 11 June 1785 William Briggs and Elizabeth his wife sold to John Haskins 180 acres of land �on the South side of Waqua Creek bounded by ��John Haskins South to the Great Branch as it meanders to the said creek.�[3] This indenture was witnessed by John Green, Randolph Rhodes, Millie Patlow, and William Wright. On 28 December 1785 Richard Ramsey and Amy Ramsey, his wife sold to Thomas Hailey 100 acres of land bounded by Roger Atkinson, Moses Dobbins, and Richard Littlepage.[4] This indenture was witnessed by John Wright, William Stanhope Wright, and Martha Hailey, and proved by them in court 25 September 1786. On 7 April 1786 Robert Daniel sold to John Gilliam 140 acres of land adjacent to Gilliam�s own land and �to a gum in the licking branch thence along the said branch to Reuben Wright�s corner red oak�to Edmund�s line�.�[5] The land was described as part of tract previously owned by Thomas Daniel, deceased. This indenture was witnessed by John Flood Edmunds, Hincha Gilliam, and Robert Kenneday. On 17 April 1788, John Potts and Susanna, his wife sold to John Gilliam 100 acres �the whole of the widows dower [of] Susanna Potts� �on the south side of Waqua Creek,� which apparently lay adjacent to John Gilliam�s land.[6] This indenture was witnessed by John Wright and Hincha Gilliam, and was proved in court 28 July 1788 by oath of John Wright and Richard Bagwell, and apparently a written deposition by Hincha Gilliam. On 1 March 1791, John �Right� and his wife Mary �Right� sold to John Gilliam a tract of land �22 10s. �current money of Virginia� �containing 100 acres more or less, and bounded as follows: to Wit: Beginning at _____ pine thence by his line south one hundred seventy four poles to his corner on Gilliam�s line, thence by his line north 60 degrees west one hundred and seventy eight poles to a �whight� oak thence north fifty three degrees east two hundred and thirty poles to the beginning�.� The indenture was signed by John Wright, while Mary �Right� made her mark �+�. The deed was witnessed by Robert �+ his mark� Daniel, William Roberts, and Hincha Gilliam.[7] The Brunswick County Tax Lists show John Wright in the upper district in 1782 with one tithable and four white males under 16. In 1784, he appears as John Wright and John Wright, under 21.[8] In 1785, the notation is made for John Wright (Taylor) and John Wright, under 21,[9] apparently to distinguish him from John Wright with one white and one black male, who appear on the same list with James Wright.[10] The latter John Wright must have died in 1785, for the list for 1786 shows John Wright, under age, living in the household of Thomas Washington, along with James Wright and two sons, James and David.[11] John Wright and John Wright appear together on the lists through 1788. In 1789, John Wright (tailor) appears with two polls, but the latter are not named,[12] and again in 1790.[13] The John Wright who has been present in association with Reuben Wright is not present in 1791 or thereafter, which is consistent with the deed of sale noted above.[14] On August 28, 1787, John Wright was in suit against John Allen. Listed as witnesses for John Wright were Robert Hailey and John Wright. Robert Wright appeared as a witness for John Allen.[15] March 24, 1788 John Wright was in suit against John Allen and John Ingram, and a reply bond was posted.[16] Purchasers at the estate sale of George Walker in 1795 include John Wright, Taylor Wright, and William Wright.[17] From these data, I have concluded that John Wright had a son, named John Wright who was born about 1764, (also named John), which suggests a birth year for the father of about 1735. The tax lists also imply at least two more sons, whose names are not shown. The notation for "Taylor Wright" in 1795 suggests that John Wright (Taylor) was still alive, although not in Brunswick Co., Virginia. Since I am not able to demonstrate either a date or place of death, I have referred to him as John Wright of Waqua Creek. John Wright appears in the household of Augustine Wright of Mecklenburg Co., Va., in 1793 and 1794 and then disappears.[18] The next time a John Wright appears in the county is in 1797.[19] The same John Wright appears in 1798, this time with one slave, named Chancey, and John Wright, son of Reuben also appears.[20] In 1799 there are three men named John Wright listed, two with slaves.[21] In 1800 only two men are listed: John (Fox) Wright and John Wright.[22] The same is true in 1801.[23] In 1802, on the other hand, we are back to three men: John (Fox) Wright, John Wright (son of Austin), and John Wright.[24] Finally, in 1803, the three men are all given identifiers: John (Fox) Wright, John Wright (son of Austin), and John Wright (son of Reuben.)[25] In 1804, John (Fox) Wright and John Wright (son of Austin,) appear,[26] but in 1805 all three men are again listed on the tax rolls, again with their separate identifiers.[27] John Wright (son of Austin) does not again appear on the tax rolls,[28] but John (Fox) Wright and John Wright, (son of Reuben) are still so listed in 1806.[29] In 1807 John (Fox) Wright is listed alone, and has three slaves, compared to none the year before.[30] The tax was not collected in 1808, and in 1809 John (Fox) Wright was present with no slaves and John Wright was present with one slave.[31] As previously noted, in 1810 the lists showed John Wright and John Wright (son of Reuben.) The 1811 list showed John Wright and John Wright, (son of Reuben.).[32] The former, who is almost surely John (Fox) Wright from the company he keeps on the rolls, has no slaves, while the latter, has at least one in every list. After 1811, all of the entries are for a single John Wright, who is clearly 1820 John Wright of Mecklenburg Co., Va., son of 1819 Reuben Wright of Mecklenburg Co., Va.[33] It is worth, noting, though, that he is not present in every tax year, and it is probable that his land was right on the North Carolina border, so some years he may have claimed residence in Warren Co., N. C. I have not examined the tax records with this idea in mind, as the main fact established by the tax lists is that the John Wright who left the Mecklenburg Co., Virginia tax rolls after 1811 is the man identified as John (Fox) Wright. John Wright witnessed the will of Mary Fox, widow of 1783 William Fox of Mecklenburg Co., Va., on 9 October 1795.[34] On 3 October 1797 John Wright secured a bond to marry Sarah Fox with William Taylor (Speeds) as his bondsman. Written consent was obtained from Richard Fox.[35] On March 10, 1806, Edward Davis brought suit against John Wright, Richard Fox, and Lewis Wright in fiere facias and obtained a judgment in the amount of �67.7.3.[36] The same day the case of Edward Delony against John Wright (Fox) was heard, and a judgment against John Wright for non-performance of the assumption was levied for �7.6 plus costs.[37] On May 12, 1806 William Wright was granted a judgment against Grief Harwell as executor of John Davis, deceased, for �77.7.1.[38] The next day Grief Harwell, acting as executor of John Davis, deceased, had his case against John Wright and Richard Fox for debt heard and obtained a judgment of �13 Virginia money, the debt to be satisfied by the payment of �6.10 plus costs, and 6% interest from 16 November 1803.[39] The same day Grief Harwell was ordered to pay Richard Fox $3.18 for six days as a witness in his suit against William Wright.[40] Ebenezer McGowan, as assignee of John Wright was awarded �40.2 in a suit against Richard Fox and Walter Pennington.[41] On September 8, 1806, Richard Fox and Jacob Bugg were security in the amount of $5000 for John Wright�s application for letters of administration for the estate of Roderick Wright. Smith Collier, Daniel Taylor, Elijah Rideout and Stephen Mabry were appointed to appraise the estate.[42] I have found no record of John Wright (Fox) after 1811 in Mecklenburg Co., Va. I have argued elsewhere that he is the same John Wright who died in Clarke Co., Ga., before 22 October 1832, leaving a widow, Lucy Garland (Andrew) Wright, and three sons, 1865 Richard W. Wright of Decatur Co., Ga., 1890 Isham B. Wright of Putnam Co., Ga., and 1859 John Andrew Wright of Drew Co., Ark., as well as three daughters, 1855 Puritha (Wright) Bass of Putnam Co., Ga., Frances Wright and Polly Wright, not yet further identified. The records suggest that John Wright (Fox) had at least two brothers, 1806 Roderick Wright of Mecklenburg Co., Va., and Lewis Wright. There are no deed records or will records in Mecklenburg Co., Va., which shed light on the relationships of these three men. However, both Roderick Wright and Lewis Wright did leave marriage bonds. Roderick Wright married Martha Cleaton September 24, 1795 with Thomas Cleaton, Jr., as bondsman. The ceremony was performed by John Loyd, Methodist minister.[43] Roderick Wright also served as bondsman for the marriage of David Wright of Lunenburg Co., Va., and Nancy Wright on December 28, 1797 Mecklenburg Co., Va.[44] Lewis Wright appears on the tax list of Brunswick Co., Va., in 1794,[45] and in the lower district of Mecklenburg Co., Va., in 1804, 1806, and 1809. [46] Lewis Wright married Fanny Dortch December 12, 1806 in Warren Co., N. C.[47] Lewis Wright appeared on the 1813 tax list (and subsequently) in Putnam Co., Ga., often in the same company as Richard W. Fox and Abner Ragland.[48] In the 1820 Census, he is in Captain Matthew Leggett's company (along with Abner Ragland). His age is greater than 45, with his wife greater than 45 and eight sons and no daughters. On March 7, 1820 Lewis Wright had recorded a sorrel mare appraised by Jones and Harry Kendrick for $50 "tolled" by Alford Clopton, J. P. on September 25, 1819. On the same day in 1820, "Merida" (Meredith) Kendrick said he possessed "three notes on Lewis Wright for $305." It was also noted that on the 1st Tuesday of April, 1820, 81 acres of land "on which Lewis Wright now lives, was seized by the Sheriff to be sold to satisfy a writ of fiere facias obtained by Avera Buckner. The Last Will and Testament of Martha Kendrick[49] Georgia ) I Martha Kendrick in perfect mind and memory in the Putnam County) presence of Almighty God do make this my last will and testament. I do give and bequeath unto my beloved daughter Betty A. Kendrick my bay mare. I give and bequeath unto my four grandchildren, John W. Carter, William B. Carter, Walton T. Carter, and Robert M. Carter fifty dollars in cash to be equally divided between them. I bequeath unto my son-in-law Lewis Wright five dollars in cash. I do further give and bequeath my real and personal Estate and all debt due me at this ___ after paying all my just debts the balance of my property to be equally divided into five equal parts (as follows:) I do give and bequeath unto my four grandchildren, John W. Carter, William B. Carter, Walton J. Carter, and Robert M. Carter one fifth of my estate to by Equally divided between them. I do given and bequeath the balance of my Estate unto John Monk, Meredith Kendrick, Priscilla Goode and Betty A. Kendrick to be equally divided between them. And do further nominate and appoint John Monk and Meredith Kendrick my lawful executors. This 6th day of March 1822. Signed in the presence of Martha (x) Kendrick Harvey Kendrick Richard Wright Silas Monk. Georgia ) The within will was duly proven in open court by Harvey Putnam Co.) Kendrick and Richard Wright subscribing witnesses to the same this 6th day of May 1822. Coleman Pendleton, C. C. A. Martha Kendrick's husband was a cousin of Mary (Kendrick) Fox, whose 1795 will was witnessed by John Wright (Fox) in Mecklenburg Co., Va., as discussed above. Unfortunately, there were two men named Richard Wright in Putnam Co., Ga. at this time: 1865 Richard W. Wright of Decatur Co., Ga., and Richard J. Wright (see under his entry.) Thus, the appearance of Lewis Wright and Richard Wright in the will of Martha Kendrick is not proof of a close relationship, but is consistent with the notion that Lewis Wright was an uncle to Richard W. Wright. Lewis Wright served as security on the apprenticeship of George W. Crowder to Richard W. Fox in 1823. Alexander Crowder fled his apprenticeship and a notice appeared in the Putnam Co., Journal in 1824. Eloped from the subscriber on the 4th of January last, a boy by the name of Alexander Crowder about 14 years of age. He is of dark complexion, stammers in his speech�It is supposed he was sent away from my employ by Briggs Allums to his mother who was secreted in the neighborhood and carried away by her into Henry County. I will give $5 reward to any person that will bring the said boy to me in Putnam County.[50] Alexander Crowder was an orphan of George Crowder and Sally Wright, who married in Mecklenburg Co., Va., October 28, 1803. George Crowder is presumed to have died in Virginia, for he does not appear in the Putnam Co., Ga. records. It appears that Sarah (Wright) Crowder married a Mr. Millirons (Millians). Interestingly, Lot 25 in the 6th district, Henry Co., Ga., was sold by Sion Lassiter Hill to Edward Allums, in a deed witnessed by Richard Fox, and then sold by him to his brother, Briggs Allums. Briggs Allums sold to Sarah Millirons, both of the said Co. (Henry) on Sept. 22, 1827 for the sum of $200, Lot 25, District 6, 202� acres of land lying on the waters of Cotton River, and this land to Sarah during her lifetime, then to her children: Briggs Allums, George, Alexander, Christopher, Nancy, James, and Leonard. Wit: A. Doss and Wm. P. Newell. Recorded Dec. 12, 1833.[51] 1. JOHN2 WRIGHT was born about 1735 and died after 1795. He married MARY (TAYLOR?). Children of John Wright and Mary are: i.

Global consumer confidence has been slowly increasing since the fourth quarter of 2012 and ended 2014 with an index score of 96. While this score marks a decline of two index points from the third quarter, two points higher than in the fourth quarter of 2013. The index is still above a pre-recession level of 94 from third-quarter 2007.
With the release of the holiday portable people meter (PPM) survey results, radio programmers across the country are tallying the final results of the annual "all-Christmas" format and assessing how holiday music affected their station's performance. So were there any surprises under the tree this year?
We've just completed a year of transformation in the retail industry, and looking at 2015, it looks like change will remain constant. But change brings opportunity, even within the familiar. Where to begin? Look to the shelf.
Music consumption has changed, but consumers' appetite for music is as strong as ever. Ninety-three percent of the U.S. population listens to music, spending more than 25 hours each week jamming out to their favorite tunes. The difference from times past, however, is that the way we individually tune is as unique as the ear buds or headphones we sport while listening.
For retailers, getting assortment right—the mix of products available—is crucial to move products from store shelves to our shopping baskets. To do so, capturing people's attention is crucial, but knowing what your shoppers want is perhaps more important. Different consumers will shop channels and categories differently.
We live in a day and age when a Los Angeleno can wake up and check the weather in Wales and a Clevelander can log on and instantly see the news in Costa Rica. But while connectivity has made the world smaller in a lot of ways, U.S. consumers still want to keep up with the happenings in their own neighborhood—and they're going digital to get that local experience!
On Tuesday, Jan. 20, 2015, President Barack Obama delivered his annual State of the Union address. The address was carried live from 9:00 p.m. to 10:15 p.m. on 13 networks and tape-delayed on Univision. The sum of the average audience for those networks was 31.7 million viewers with a combined household rating of 19.9.
When it comes to differentiation and standing out, brands that partner with a big-name music artist or sports figure are likely to have a notable advantage. And high-octane branded entertainment is a growing way for brands to raise awareness and boost their sales.
As we enter another new year, people all over the globe commonly vow to change the things in their lives that they feel need improvement from the previous year. Shedding some extra pounds was a common response in a recent global survey, and many say they're actively trying to lose weight. So what diet methods are most popular?
In addition to going wearable, tech has gone drivable—and the connected car is rapidly transforming how people take to the roads. In fact, it's also having an impact on the way they feel and act when they're behind the wheel.

In her Dec. 25 Commentary piece ("Reality has its risks") on the controversy surrounding Phil Robertson of A&E's "Duck Dynasty," Froma Harrop calls him a redneck several times. She also wonders why A&E suspended him, writing "It's hard to see the point of punishing this redneck, who seems as much no-school as old-school."
Speaking of school, did any of her professors stress the importance of checking one's facts? If Ms. Harrop had bothered, she could have found that this so-called old school/no school redneck has a master's degree in education from Louisiana Tech University, and spent several years as a school teacher.
Or maybe she did know, and realized that including that little tidbit would have totally negated her snide "no school" remark and shown it for how ridiculous it really is. Then again, why bother with facts when you're really looking for zing?

LOS ANGELES, July 26, 2013 – There is no doubt in anyone's mind that mobile technology is at the forefront of the series of innovations that is driving revolutionary change in the way that business is done worldwide.
While there are many applications for the technology, one that has companies and consumers most occupied at the moment is that of mobile payments.
SEE RELATED: CrowdOptic Founder plans to introduce the "next big thing"
One of the foremost experts on the direction of mobile is Erdolo Eromo, the SVP of Business Development and Client Relations for Payvia, a leading mobile payment platform that allows its users to make simple and secure payments via mobile phone.
At only 31 years old, Erdolo is one of the youngest senior executives in his industry. In a recent interview, he spoke very candidly about just how big of a part that mobile payments will play in our lives in the coming years.
"The question isn't whether mobile payments will be the payments of the future", said Eromo, "but which company will win the biggest share of the market within that space when it does."
"If you look at device singularity and the research behind the concept you will find that people no longer carry cash", he continued. "From a lifestyle perspective, everyone wants as much utility as possible from one device—their mobile phone."

What many Americans may not realize is that this trend has already made a huge impact in other countries.
"Look at Japan as an example", said Eromo. "Everything in that company is attached to their mobile phones. In the US, we've begun a march toward that same reality with weather, banking, social media, and photography all migrating to phones. Invoicing and payments are now simply following suit and beginning to move in this direction as well."
There are currently four pillars driving the mobile payment landscape. There are POS (point of sale) solutions such as "the square", an invention that has garnered recent popularity by allowing anyone to seamlessly collect and transfer money into a bank or paypal account via their phone.
Then there is near field communication (also referred to as NFC), which gives the user the ability to make purchases for local events such as concerts and sporting contests.
Then there are mobile wallets, the most popular of which right now is Google Wallet. Finally, there is direct carrier billing, which allows consumers to pay for goods and services directly from their mobile phones.
Direct carrier billing is what Eromo's Payvia enables, and he asserts that it is a ripe opportunity with a lot of promise in terms of its probable growth trajectory in the coming years.
"There are tons of companies that share categories with well-known brands such as Skype, Pandora, and LaTimes along with small business people and even individuals who all have digital goods to sell. They want the ability to monetize their digital goods on digital devices. If an individual is already using their cell phone to search for goods, then the business they are inquiring simply has a higher probability of converting them from free to paid with a phone number as opposed to having them get a credit card and enter a ton of information."
Eromo went on to compare Payvia's direct carrier billing solution with similar well-known models that already exist on the market.
"iTunes exists for Apple and Google Play for Google/Android, but those platforms are exclusive to their respective technologies. Payvia works across all platforms and smart phones. It is 100% agnostic and, therefore, accessible to just about any smart phone user. Like those technologies (i.e. iTunes), it is accessible from a mere phone number, which allows it to enable 1-click conversions. This process structure allows Payvia to have a very simple checkout flow. Consumers love us. Merchants love us."

I am writing to discover if any of you will stand with practicing midwives of Arizona and the parents that use their services and oppose onerous restrictions on the practice of midwifery in Arizona.
AZDHS Director Will Humble is dangerously close to adopting certain rules that will restrict the use of midwives for parents who wish to have a natural childbirth without the dangers of hospital interventions.
These midwives deliver healthy babies to low risk moms all over Arizona.
I'm looking for some support. This issue is such a significant parents' rights issue that I would hope that all of you, or at least some of you, are interested in communicating with Director Humble and the committee in your capacity as a resident of this state.
This is government overreaching at its worst-into the lives and personal decisions of how we raise our families.
The tenor of the process thus far has been to restrict the capabilities of midwives and reduce their role in the birth decision-making process.
Many of the new rules, if enforced, will only cause midwives to be in violation of the rules if they continue to practice, or to simply discontinue or move their practice to another state.
This cannot be. We all need choices when it comes to birthing our children.
Even if you don't prefer to homebirth, do you feel the government has the right to regulate how, where, and when you do deliver your child?
Contact AZDHS and let them know how you feel.

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Van der Westhuizen, Ina email@example.com URN etd-05052008-095050 Document Title Trickle flow multiple hydrodynamic states : the effect of flow history, surface tension and transient upsets Degree MEng (Chemical Engineering) Department Chemical Engineering Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Me E du Toit Co-Supervisor Prof W Nicol Supervisor Keywords
- transient upsets
- surface tension
- trickle bed
- hysteresis
- multiple hydrodynamic states
Date 2007-09-07 Availability unrestricted Abstract The existence of multiple hydrodynamic states (MHS) in trickle bed operation has been proved by hysteresis observed in flow loops, as well as variation between different prewetting modes. The most common theory presented as explanation for the existence of MHS, is the film vs. rivulet concept. Based on this concept, it was suspected that in-situ upsets might promote the formations of films, thereby providing a method through which the hydrodynamic states of the Dry and Levec modes can be manipulated to perform like the Kan Liquid and Super modes.Large performance enhancements can be obtained by altering the prewetting procedure, even for systems with a low surface tension. For the water system, the gas liquid mass transfer coefficient of the Kan Liquid and Super modes could be as much as 6 times greater than that of the Dry mode. For the low surface tension system, the gas liquid mass transfer of the Kan Liquid and Super modes could be up to 8 times greater than that of the Dry mode. Through a thorough investigation of various types of transient upsets and manipulation strategies, it was confirmed that prewetting is indeed the only way by which drastic variation in hydrodynamic states may be obtained. None of the investigated upsets (hysteresis, periodic operation or surface tension doping) resulted in changes in the liquid morphology that could compare to the significant variation that was observed by varying the prewetting mode.
Two methods were identified by which the hydrodynamic gaps between the less uniform (Dry and Levec) modes and the more uniform modes (Kan Liquid and Super) could be bridged. The first is to reduce the Levec draining time, while the second method may be seen as an in-situ type of Kan Liquid prewetting. This type of prewetting was obtained during doping with a low surface tension liquid, at a flow rate associated with the high interaction regime for the low surface tension system.
Though the hysteresis cycles did not drastically alter the predominant flow type, interesting trends were observed, some of which raised doubt about the application of the films vs. rivulet concept. One mode in particular displayed behaviour which contributed to this doubt, namely the Kan Gas mode;
• Gas liquid mass transfer on this mode decreased with an increase in liquid flow rate
• Relatively low pressure drops on this mode corresponded to relatively high liquid holdup
• It was the only mode that exhibited no hysteresis with gas flow variation, on any of the hydrodynamic parameters
The various trends and variations observed with the different types of upsets, leads to the conclusion that the concept of films vs. rivulets simply does not provide adequate explanation of the observed results. In general, two flow types may be distinguished. That which is caused by an initial increase in liquid flow rate as opposed to that which is caused by an initial increase in gas flow rate
An investigation to determine the behaviour of each of the investigated parameters near the transition boundaries on all the modes, as well as a repetition of this study with non-intrusive visual techniques is recommended.

Risk Management Policy
The Risk Management Policy provides a framework or Risk Management System for all levels of Company management which should enable, support, and promote:
- Awareness and understanding of real and significant risks and their impact;
- Exercising due diligence when making decisions;
- Exercise of appropriate duty of care;
- Innovation through taking calculated risks in pursuit of business opportunity and excellence; and
- Provision of assurance that risks are managed in accordance with their level of threat or exposure.
The procedure pertains to managing all financial risks. (6 pages, 1344 words)
The Risk Manager is responsible for conducting risk assessment and for identifying the most appropriate method(s) of managing financial risk (also see AC1020 RISK ASSESSMENT).
The Risk Manager is responsible for directing development of the risk management plan and reporting to the CEO and CFO.
The CEO (Chief Executive Officer) and CFO (Chief Financial Officer) are responsible for reviewing and approving the Risk Management Plan.
Risk Management Policy Activities
- Developing a Risk Management System
- Implementing the Risk Management System
- Evaluating the Risk Management System
- Adapting the Risk Management System
Risk Management Policy References Used
- Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
Risk Management Policy Procedure Forms
- Risk Assessment and Management Worksheet Form
Using risk management techniques is an important component in creating the internal control required for compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Section 404. Risk management includes all the activities associated with identifying and reducing risk, as well as coping with negative events should they occur. Identifying risks and creating systems and safeguards to ameliorate them is one way to create a basic internal control system.
There are many ways we can deal with business risk. We're all familiar with the four classical risk management categories:
- Avoidance;
- Mitigation, or reduction;
- Transference; and
- Acceptance.
An example of this is insurance for our businesses, as well as our health, homes, and so on. We're well aware of the fact that we can't possibly prevent every natural disaster or workplace accident, so we pay insurance premiums to transfer a portion of the risk to the insuror.
Still another example: purchasing and using safety equipment, combined with regular safety training, will significantly mitigate (or reduce) some of the risk of running your business.
The Stages of Effective Risk Management
Risk management can seem like an overwhelming and daunting task – but only if you try to envision, predict, and prevent every imaginable risk all in one swipe. The trick to successful risk management is to break it down into manageable stages and tasks. Using a continual improvement method, identify and mitigate high priority risks first, and then continually improve your risk management by regularly reviewing and prioritizing risks and addressing them according to your organizational needs.
The Basic Steps of Risk Management Include:
- Understand the Mission
- Perform risk assessment to identify and categorize risks
- Prioritize risks and activities
- Design processes, training, and checks/metrics (controls) for top level risks
- Monitor internal control effectiveness and improve as required
- Repeat steps 2-5
Methodical Risk Assessment Leads to Proper Internal Controls
The first step in conducting effective risk management is understanding the mission. Clearly identifying and articulating the mission makes recognizing the risks to mission success much easier and much more effective. In terms of Sarbanes-Oxley and SOX Section 404 – understanding the mission is easy. The SOX mission is to create accurate financial statements and avoid a material misstatement.
Once you identify the mission, begin risk assessment by listing the possible risks to accurate financial statements (i.e. improperly listing assets). There are several approaches to listing possible risks, but the most effective ones employ a methodical technique. For example, for financial statements a methodical risk assessment approach could be to identify inputs to your financial statements, and then work backwards to consider input sources, processes, etc;, listing possible reasons for incorrect information. It also might be useful to consider typical categories of risk such as system/process problems or weaknesses, human error, and fraud.
Prioritize Risks to Determine Internal Control Activities
When trying to assess possible risks the goal is to be exhaustive. You may end up with a sizable list, but that is an expected risk assessment outcome – don't let it intimidate you. Think of it as useful information. It is unlikely that you will be able to address all the listed risks from your risk assessment at once. The goal should be to identify high priority risks and focus on those first. Now you are creating an internal control system that complies with Section 404 Sarbanes Oxley.
Creating a matrix or graph of risks by likelihood versus impact is a great tool in finishing the risk assessment task and moving toward risk management. For example, you could have the risk/internal control committee rank every risk item on the list for probability and impact. Then average them and plot them as R1, R2, R3, etc;, as they are plotted on Figure 1. Obviously, after plotting risks, those with highest probability of occurrence and the highest potential impact (or in terms of financial statements – materiality) should be addressed first.
How many risks are addressed at one time depends on the size and capability of the organization. A large organization with lots of resources might focus risk management on the top 12 or 15. A small organization might only be able to set a goal of attending to the top three or top six risks in the first pass.
Managing Risk with Internal Controls
Now that you have identified the most important risks to manage, the next step is to identify the best way to mitigate them. A typical method is to create well-defined processes that help minimize the risk. The process should account for the inputs, outputs, as well as process activities, but the process should also incorporate metrics and check-steps. This builds in the capacity to monitor the process' effectiveness right into the process itself. Once your process is defined, then it is communicated through policies and procedures, training, and work instructions. Once in place, processes should be monitored by regularly verifying that process checks are functional and that process metrics demonstrate effectiveness. Corrections are made as required. Once these processes are fully operational and demonstrated effective, it is time for Step 6: repeat the risk assessment / risk management process in order to address the next level of risks.

The focus of the Good News of Jesus of Galilee was "The time has come; the Kingdom of God is upon you; repent and believe the Gospel." (Mk 1:14?15) The Kingdom of God was his vision of a "domination? free" society, as an alternative to the Roman "domination" order, in which he and his people lived. The Kingdom of God would be "upon you" whenever the justice of God was experienced as political equality, economic equity, relationships of mutuality and inclusive communities. It has been said that everything Jesus said and did served a "function in relationship to that proclamation and derives its meaning from it." (Norman Perrin) The mission and ministry of Jesus was to point to his vision of the Kingdom of God by his teaching and to give substance to his vision by his actions.
One way Jesus gave substance to his vision of the Kingdom of God was by his ministry of healing. In this seminal book, we are assisted in our reading and understanding of the healing stories in the canonical Gospels, by John J. Pilch, Professor of Biblical Studies at Georgetown University, Washington, D.C. He is a pioneer in using insights from the social sciences for understanding the social world contexts of Biblical texts. In this book he uses, in particular, the disciplines of medical and Mediterranean anthropology to gain insights for interpreting the healing stories in the New Testament. It is the theme of this book that an interpreter of the healing stories of the New Testament will "benefit from turning to medical anthropology for assistance." For as health and sickness are variously defined in different cultures, so distinctive kinds of therapy appropriate to the defined areas are used to respond. Therefore it is vital that the healing stories of the New Testament be read in their cultural context. Pilch explains the difference between two interpretative models of health and sickness, the biomedical model of Western culture and what he calls the "cultural" model of the Mediterranean world of the first century. The biomedical model is focused on health through the cure of disease. The cultural model is focused on health through the healing of illness, understood as psycho?social experiences of changes in a person's "states of being" resulting from a perceived disease. It is Pilch's thesis that the cultural model is more helpful in understanding and interpreting the healing stories of the New Testament.
He uses the story of the healing of the leper (Mark 1:40?44) as a test case of the cultural model What was called leprosy in the time of Jesus was not what modern medicine calls leprosy. It was not Hansen's disease caused by a bacillus, but a flaky skin condition like psoriasis or eczema (see Leviticus 13:9). The leper who met Jesus (Mark 1:40?44) suffered from the disease of psoriasis or eczema and from the illness of the social stigma of uncleanness or impurity in a society structured around a purity system. People who were unclean in such a society suffered social rejection and personal isolation. When Jesus touched the leper and said to him, "be clean" the story tells us, "immediately the leprosy left him, and he was made clean." The story seems to say that he was cured ofhis disease (the leprosy left him) and healed of his illness (was made clean) The healing of his illness was his acceptance back into the community and the restoration of his self? image as a human being. His encounter with Jesus resulted in an experience of the Kingdom of God!
If that story, and other healing stories are interpreted through the biomedical model, the result is apt to be a confusion of disease and illness, as well as of curing and healing, and therefore less than helpful. One question that many of the healing stories poses is, "Did Jesus cure disease or heal illness?" Pilch states, that we are unable to determine whether Jesus cured anyone since there is no possibility of ascertaining this as the definition of curing ("destroying or checking a pathogen, removing a malfunctioning or non?functioning organ") requires. Another question follows, "Is it possible to be healed without being cured?" Pilch states, "Jesus and all the people of his culture dealt with sickness as illness and not as disease." Pilch then devotes separate chapters to the healing stories in Mark, Matthew, Luke? Acts, and John. Each chapter contains a "Professional Sector" oriented toward those readers in the organized healing professions, a "Popular Sector" for the lay reader, and a "Folk Sector" for those readers who have a foot in both sectors. There are, at the end of the book, "Discussion Questions" for each chapter and a Glossary of key terms, used throughout the book, mostly drawn from the anthropological disciplines.
This book is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand and interpret the healing stories of the New Testament, which evidence that the Good News of the Kingdom of God is "upon" us.

Really comfortable, really cute
I really like the shoes. I ride in a wheel chair, though. I don't know that I'd use these shoes as good walking shoes though because they don't have much arch support. They are incredibly well made, and very good soles. Rippled soles make them seem to be slip resistant, although I haven't had occasion as yet to test this. All in all, I like these shoes.

Golden Globes Better than the Oscars?
Two days before the Golden Globes, Slate published an article by Tom Shone, the author of Blockbuster: How Hollywood Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Summer, on how the Golden Globes isn't cheap cousin to the Oscars; it's better than the Oscars.
The piece is classic Slate, i.e., contrarian, but Shone's argumentation is sloppy, like GG acceptance speeches, and for a second I thought about responding. Then I read the comments field and realized several readers had done the work for for me.
A reader named Josh B. writes:
Mr. Shone isn't comparing apples with apples. It's easier to reward the right people and films when you give out twice as many awards. For instance, in 1988, the Globes didn't choose Tom Hanks in Big over Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man (which is what the author implies in his list at the end of the article). Rather, both Hanks and Hoffman won acting Globes that year, but in different categories.
Then Ben F. writes:
You also conveniently forgot a few [Golden Globes' picks]:
- "Avatar" and James Cameron beat "The Hurt Locker" and Kathryn Bigelow
- "Evita" and Madonna beat "Fargo" and Frances McDormand
- "Scent of a Woman" beat "Unforgiven" and "Howards End"
I think both groups make poor choices. Oscars tend to be self-serious while the Globes tend to be star worshiping.
Makes one almost not-wish for the death of comments fields.
Shone also ignored such recent, weak, GG best-drama winners as "Babel" in 2006 (over "The Departed"), and "Atonement" in 2007 (over "No Country for Old Men"). I might add that Shone's opening, in which he imagines a world in which the Golden Globes has the authority of the Oscars, is similar to the opening of a 2005 article I wrote on the National Society of Film Critics. I'm not suggesting plagiarism, of course. I'm merely suggesting that even contrarian articles might not be very original.

"Yum!,Even my kids liked it. I will defineateltely add this as one of my favorite dishes. Thanks!"
"I loved how easy these were and I probably never would have made them if I had to wait for the fridge time. Like Liz, I added the allspice and cinnamon but changed the baking temperature to 350 for 8-10 min. and had perfect results. I will defineately make these again and again. Thanks!"
"I loved this recipe! While powdered sugar is usually always messy to work with -this was relatively simple and easy.I used this to ice gingerbread cookies. The texture was perfect and light and the taste was very delicate and dried and set nicely allowing plenty of time for decorating in between. I will defineately use this recipe again!"
"I thought this recipe to be mediocre at best. What it lacked in flavor it made up for by heat (even without using any additional chiles). I thought searing the meat in a secondary pan was unnecessary and cumbersome.The bell peppers(how come no red?) lacked the rich roasted flavor which I believe to be one of fajitas sinature flavors. I didn't care..."
"Wonderful! A top 10 for comfort food.This recipe is simple and easy to follow. I doubled it,added 2T of worcestershire(at the end)& used SHARP wisconsin cheddar and served the soup in crusty bread bowls...my kids ate it up!"

The Strategic Dynamics of Latin American Trade
Vinod Aggarwal, Ralph H. Espach, and Joseph S. Tulchin
The diversity of Latin American trade agreements established since the mid-1980s reflects a broadening range of strategic perceptions and orientations. The argument of this volume is that this increasing divergence among the arrangements reflects fundamental and growing differences among their broader strategic perceptions and political and economic objectives. These, in turn, are grounded in each country's economic profile, the institutional configuration of its trade policy process, and the constraints and opportunities policymakers perceive at the domestic and international levels.
The opening chapter in this volume provides a theoretical framework that highlights the political-economic tradeoffs entailed in different trade strategies. The remaining chapters in sections I and II focus on domestic and international constraints involved in the formulation, pursuit, and implementation of trade policies. The last half of the volume contains detailed, empirically grounded studies of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, and the dynamics of Mercosur.
What People are Saying
"This book offers an important, timely, and unique perspective on tradepolicy in Latin America. Academics, students, and practitioners willwelcome it, both for the useful political economy theoretical frameworkand for the cogent and informative analyses of individual countries andregional groupings."—Maxwell Cameron, University of British Columbia

Public works prioritizes Bacolod's drainage master plan
-A A +ASaturday, June 25, 2011
THE creation of a drainage master plan for Bacolod City is part of the priority project of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) in Western Visayas, according to City Administrator Dr. Rogelio Balo.
Balo said the release of P8 million as an initial fund for the project was confirmed by representatives of the DPWH in the region during a recent regular meeting of the Infrastructure Development Committee of the Regional Development Council (RDC) last June 14, 2011 which he attended.
The project was in response to Dr. Balo's presentation, during a meeting of the Infrastructure Development Committee last September, 2010, of the existing conditions in Bacolod City during heavy rains due to its outdated drainage system, causing floods in some business districts of the city.
The RDC Executive Committee passed Ex-Com Resolution No. 7, Series of 2010, requesting the DPWH to prepare for the Formulation of a Drainage Master Plan for the Cities of Iloilo and Bacolod in November 2010.
The resolution stated that the cities of Iloilo and Bacolod are Western Visayas's highly urbanized cities (HUCs) and are among the fastest-growing areas of the country, in terms of population and economic activities.
Every time heavy rains occur, the major thoroughfares and some of the commercial and residential areas of both cities have perennially been experiencing floods because of dilapidated and clogged underground drainage systems and constricted waterways.
The resolution underscored the need to prepare a drainage system master plan for Bacolod City and Iloilo City to establish a more systematic network that will meet the growing needs of the central business districts and nearby suburbs of both cities.
The master plan will include, among others, a waste septage and sewerage system appropriate for the cities of Iloilo and Bacolod.
The proposal will be utilized to access technical and grant assistance from the Official Development Assistance (ODA) sources to take advantage of the expertise of other countries in the area of drainage and sewerage management.
Dr. Balo stressed that this Drainage Master Plan is the long-awaited solution to the flooding in some areas of Bacolod.

Please help! Our composite decking on our new deck has areas of sagging. The joists are 16' apart, and was constructed for our second story. Contractor claims his job is sound. Any suggestions? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by Builder-Bob (My Page) on Wed, Dec 5, 12 at 15:34
What you want to do is find out what the Manufactures specs are when it comes to joist spacing, make sure your looking at the specs for the width and thickness of the boards you have. Some call for 12" on center although 16" on center is common practice. -If the product calls for 16" on center, and that's what you have (triple check), call the manufacturer, but before you do be prepared to get the 5th degree (is there any heating ducts running under the deck, proper ventilation, heavy loads on deck, use a grill on the deck, etc). -If it calls for 12" on center call your Contractor (be easy on them though, because like I mentioned 16" on center is common) |
- Posted by margerydaniel (My Page) on Wed, Dec 19, 12 at 3:31
As long as the wooden structure is sound, a sagging deck with an above-ground foundation-block system can be brought back to level fairly easily by simply jacking up the structure immediately be- side each settled post, adding patio slabs or pressure-treated wood spacers beneath the foundation block, then easing the structure back down and checking for level. |

Margery, the decking is sagging not the deck structure!! Guarantee the decking is not set properly or the joists spacing is not correct. |

In previous commentaries, I have expressed my concern about the economic mess in the Empire and Keystone States -- from unemployment to deficits and so on. I know that a lot of you feel powerless when it comes to making a difference, and you have been disappointed time and time again with politicians who refuse to lead and refuse to stamp out governmental waste, ineffectiveness, inefficiency, corruption, and fraud.
Well, I'm here to say that all of us can make a difference by buying local and spending our hard earned dollars at local businesses -- like local restaurants, local clothing stores, local auto repair shops, local grocery stores, local pharmacies, and so on.
You see, when you spend your money locally it contributes to a strong, vibrant, and robust local economy which leads to more employment and other opportunities for you, your family, and your neighbors. Keep in mind that the owners of local businesses are often active in the community and often contribute to many community causes.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm not against chain restaurants and big box stores. I'm only saying that it is important to spend a significant portion of your hard earned cash at locally owned businesses. The engine that drives the American economy is local business.
By spending locally you help both the local economy and the American economy at the same time. I also urge public officials to use local contractors and contract for local goods and services when it comes to public works projects and other endeavors.
Don't feel powerless. You can make a difference. Spend locally.
- Dr. Coleman also airs commentaries and a public affairs program on WETM 18 Elmira. For more information on these programs, go to wetmtv.com.
Your Comments(please keep them on topic and polite)
Dr. Coleman,
I would love to spend locally, but so often the "mom and pop" shops in my home-town jack up the prices on items so that I can't afford to. Thank God Wal-mart is 20 minutes down the road.
As a entrepenuer myself, I appreciate what you're saying. As much as I can, I avoid the big-box stores to help my friends and neighbors family-owned businesses.

5 Simple Tricks for a Better Relationship
What's hot on our Facebook, Twitter and message boards this week.
Real brides share their wedding night stories (and they're not what you think).
Photo: Veer / The Knot
We had an evening garden wedding that happened to fall on the day of a 75-year record high...a whopping 106 degrees. We were exhausted and soaked when we finally got back to the honeymoon suite. I went to the bathroom to peel myself out of the drenched wedding dress, take a shower, and change. I finally walk out -- perfect hair, stellar makeup, and some sexy lingerie -- only to find my husband sprawled out on the bed, passed out, and snoring. Bravo TV and I spent one salacious evening together. --Sposati
The hotel we stayed in had a huge, two-person shower, and we jumped in it immediately after the reception. We started to fool around until my husband began to look extremely freaked out. Apparently, my fake eyelashes were falling off, and he had no clue that I had been wearing them. One strip was on my cheek, and the other was hanging off my eye. Let's just say, it kind of killed the mood. We then got out of the shower to find the entire bathroom flooded.My dress was soaked, and everything that had been on the floor was in a pool of water, including the only pajamas and underwear that we'd brought. We spent the next 20 minutes cleaning up, and by the time we were done, all we wanted to do was sleep. --teddidan
I'd gotten so tipsy at my wedding that when we got home, my new husband had to help me open the back of my dress. In the middle of him unhooking the thing, I looked at him, smiled, reached up, and pulled out a pile of "hair" and handed it to him. I then proceeded to wander into the living room and pass out on the sofa. He had no idea the hair was my extensions and was completely freaked out. --jayjoe
When you open a bunch of glittery congratulatory wedding cards while sitting in bed, you often end up with glitter in unusual places after other, well, shall we say, "more aerobic" activities. ;) --MeaghanandMichael
During the reception, our guests actually shooed us into the elevator and told us to "get at it. " We hadn't had time to eat at the reception and were STARVING, so instead we went upstairs to our room, grabbed a bite, mussed our hair, and watched an episode of MythBusters on TV. A half hour later, we were greeted downstairs to a standing ovation. --LDYGTR13
At the end of the night, my husband and I climbed into our sweet ride (a '91 Honda Accord) and drove back to the hotel. We parked by the side entrance, near one of the conference rooms, and went in. Unfortunately, we accidently walked through the annual gathering for the Bereaved Parents of the USA, an organization for parents, grandparents, and siblings who've recently lost loved ones, all while wearing our wedding gear. Kind of a mood killer. --hmonkey
We won a free wedding night hotel stay at a bridal show and were really excited about it because we had originally planned to sleep at home that night. After the reception, we drove to the hotel, but unfortunately, it was the wrong one. I was in my wedding dress and he was in his tuxedo, and we felt really silly. Luckily, the manager was great and gave us a free night's stay in one of the nicest suites. --Stackeye210
After the reception, I felt like I was getting a cold, so we decided to go upstairs and call it a night. I immediately passed out, while my husband decided to go back downstairs and get a bite to eat. Unfortunately, he forgot his room key. I was so dead-to-the-world asleep that I never heard him banging on the door or trying to call our room. To top it all off, I completely forgot to give the hotel his name when I made the reservation. It took over an hour of coaxing for the poor guy at the front desk to finally let him into our room. --akhensley81

- Breed: Basset Hound/Redbone Coonhound Mix
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Ernie's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Ernie is just adorable! He is the very laid back typical hound type. He would love to be your companion and sit at your feet while you watch TV or read a book. He loves to go for long walks, rides in the car and is just happy to be by your side. He is approximately 4 years old and was picked up as a stray by local animal control and taken to a high kill shelter where we grabbed him up as soon as we saw how precious he was. He will make some family a wonderful companion so be the first to grab up this scrumptuous boy! If interested, please contact email@example.com
Other Pets at For Pete's Sake Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Ernie, a Sherman Basset Hound/Redbone Coonhound dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Basset Hound/Redbone Coonhound for sale in Sherman, or seeking a Basset Hound/Redbone Coonhound dog from a breeder in Sherman.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Sherman already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Sherman breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Basset Hound/Redbone Coonhound breeders who help with Basset Hound/Redbone Coonhound rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Sherman paves the way for another one to be saved.

State Launches Creative Economy Network
Applications now open for industry organizations
(BOSTON) – Monday, July 22, 2013 – The Executive Office of Housing and Economic Development today announced that it is now accepting applications for organizations to be a part of the newly established Creative Economy Network. The network is a regional effort to that will accelerate the economic growth of the Commonwealth's creative industries across the state.
Through the Patrick Administration's Creative Economy Industry Director and the Creative Economy Council, the Network will coordinate resources, track progress, and promote efforts to support these industries on the local, regional, and state-wide level.
"With over 100,000 workers and a $1 billion statewide impact, the creative industries in Massachusetts are an important part of the Massachusetts economy, said Helena Fruscio, Massachusetts Creative Economy Industry Director. "This new coordinated system will help us support the enhancement, encouragement, and growth to these vital industries in every corner of the Commonwealth."
The creative industries include the many companies pushing the limits of creativity in the marketplace, including innovative video game companies, cultural non-profits, design, marketing and architecture firms, and the Commonwealth's authors, architects, movie directors, artists and musicians.
The Network will help implement the Commonwealth's Action Agenda to support and grow the state's creative economy industries. Based on the findings of the 2012 CreativeNEXT Listening Tour, the Action Agenda identifies Five Areas of Action as key to the success and expansion of these industries:
- Business Development: Increasing coherence and integration of the available state, regional, and local resources to help generate new opportunities for businesses, organizations, and individuals and improve access to technical assistance, expertise, mentorship, and training for creative industry companies.
- Access to Capital: Increasing access and removing barriers to direct financial support for creative industry organizations and businesses.
- Visibility: Developing opportunities to connect, feature, and highlight the creative industries through events, campaigns, and content generation in traditional and social media to help bring awareness to the value and quality of these industries.
- Talent: Generating initiatives for the creative industries to access and attract and retain entry level, middle, and upper level talent.
- Space: Surveying the existing and developing convening, incubator, and working space resources available for the creative industries and working to increase available space for the creative industry businesses and entrepreneurs.
Each region across the Commonwealth will have a Network dedicated to the success and growth of the industries in its respective region. A region will cover at least 10 contiguous municipalities with one or more Lead Organization(s) responsible for coordinating and reporting of the Network activities in a given region.
Addition information on the criteria and guidelines as well as the application can be found here. Organizations interested in applying to become part of the Network need to fill out the "Intent to Apply" survey here.

FROM THE COMPANY COMMANDER First and foremost men, congratulations on your recent graduation from MCRD, you have earned the title Marine. Now that your first phase of entry-level training is complete, we must embrace our warrior ethos as Marines and learn the skills necessary to excel and perform successfully in today's combat environment. Marine Combat Training Battalion (MCT) will be your second phase of entry-level training before you focus on your individual MOS school. Despite the array of jobs and skill-sets throughout our Corps, one thing remains the same; every Marine is a rifleman first. Throughout your 29-day cycle, you will be led and mentored by an elite group of Combat Instructors who have already fought the initial phases of the war on terror. These Combat Instructors are NCOs and SNCOs. They will use the lessons learned from their own combat experiences to ensure that you enter your first operating unit with the knowledge and confidence needed to carry on the tradition and demeanor of being part of the world's finest fighting force. My staff will expose you to the rigors of combat by instructing you through a multitude of live-fire ranges and combat related exercises. You will always wear the proper gear and learn to depend on your fellow Marine just as much you would depend on your rifle. Arrive in shape with a teamwork mentality and ready to learn. To the family and friends of India Company; you too should be proud of your Marines' accomplishments. They have taken on a great responsibility and will always need your support. I invite you to attend a parent's brief at 10:00 a.m., with the graduation ceremony following at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, four weeks after the cycle begins. Please feel to contact us with any concerns or questions. Captain Matt Bride Company Commander India Company Marine Combat Training Battalion
FROM THE COMPANY FIRST SERGEANT Warriors, congratulations and welcome to the Marine Corps family. I am the senior enlisted Marine assigned to India Company, and I take care of any problems that may transpire with the students throughout the training cycle. Each and every Marine joins the Corps for different reasons. The fact that you volunteered to join, during this crucial time in American history, speaks volumes about your character.
