A @Christadelphians Video: Description: Many words and phrases in the Song of Solomon appear in verses in the psalms and the prophets, and in the words of Jesus in the gospels and the apocalypse.

In today's complex and rapidly changing organizational environments, continuous improvement isn't just a luxury—it's a necessity. One invaluable tool for driving this improvement is the After Action Review (AAR). Originally developed and refined within military contexts, the AAR is a structured and straightforward method for reflecting on events, identifying successes and shortcomings, and pinpointing actionable steps for future enhancement. Through the lens of the AAR, leaders can foster a culture of transparency, accountability, and continuous learning within their teams. By systematically addressing What happened?, What went right?, and What went wrong?, leaders derive insights that empower their teams to replicate successes and mitigate failures. Ultimately, effective use of AARs can transform isolated experiences into collective knowledge, driving sustained organizational growth and peak performance. Timestamped Overview 00:00:50 - Introduction Scott introduces the topic of organizational improvement using the After Action Review (AAR) tool. 00:01:19 - What Is an AAR?

Preparing His Bride | Sep 21, 2024 In a vibrant community gathering, participants engage in heartfelt worship, expressing gratitude and reverence for the divine. This atmosphere of praise sets the tone for a transformative experience, where declarations are made for forgiveness, strength, wisdom, and a spirit of engagement. The collective prayer emphasizes the importance of establishing a strong foundation for the house of God, reinforcing a commitment to spiritual growth and unity. Timeliness is crucial in this environment. It is emphasized that arriving punctually to meetings—especially during prayer and worship—is essential for maintaining the spiritual flow and collective experience. Late arrivals disrupt the connection needed to fully receive and engage with the teachings, highlighting the importance of honoring God's presence. Upcoming events, including a significant conference and a prayer retreat, are announced to prepare the community spiritually. Participants are encouraged to engage in fasting and prayer as they approach these gatherings, fostering a mindset of readiness and anticipation for God's movement. As the gathering concludes, a final blessing is pronounced, reinforcing the commitment to steward God's presence in daily life. Participants are invited to contribute offerings as a form of worship, and the session closes with continued worship, solidifying the connection and sense of community established throughout the event. The overall message underscores the importance of engagement, punctuality, and spiritual preparation in experiencing the fullness of God's presence and the power of collective worship.

The history of the Northern Cod stock dates back over 500 years in Atlantic Canada, playing a crucial role in the region's coastal history. However, industrialization in the 50s and 60s led to overfishing by multiple countries, resulting in the collapse of the fish stocks in Atlantic Canada. Despite efforts to reassess fishing levels, the Canadian fisheries fleet ramped up domestic efforts, leading to further declines in Cod and other ground fish stocks. The Capelin stocks also faced overfishing in the 90s, with no moratorium in place, resulting in ongoing fishing efforts on the stock. Currently, Capelin is at only 9% of its pre-collapse levels, indicating a severe depletion in the stock. The interdependence between Northern Cod and Capelin is crucial, as Cod relies on Capelin as a key prey species. The lack of a comprehensive management plan for both stocks has contributed to their continued depletion and failure to recover to healthy levels. Recent assessments have shown that both Northern Cod and Capelin are hovering near the limit reference point, indicating a critical state for the stocks. Despite some positive signs between 2010 and 2016, growth has since flatlined, with projections indicating a potential decline back into the critical zone. The lack of a robust management plan and clear targets for recovery has hindered efforts to restore these fishery stocks to healthy levels. The recent meetings in Newfoundland, where Fisheries and Oceans Canada and scientific groups discussed the stock assessments, highlighted the urgency of implementing effective management measures. The need for ecosystem-based management decisions, timely implementation of rebuilding plans, and a focus on sustainable harvest levels are crucial to prevent further declines in the Northern Cod and Capelin stocks. The lack of clear management measures and the absence of a long-term vision for rebuilding pose significant challenges to the recovery of these fishery stocks. As concerned citizens and advocates for ocean conservation, it is essential to raise awareness about the critical state of the Northern Cod and Capelin stocks. Contacting government officials, supporting conservation organizations, and advocating for sustainable fisheries management practices can help drive positive change and ensure the long-term health of these important fishery stocks. By taking action and demanding responsible management practices, we can work towards safeguarding the future of Northern Cod and Capelin populations and promoting ecosystem health in the Atlantic region. Lack of Implementation of Management Measures for Fishery Stocks In the episode, Rebecca Skynes from Oceania Canada highlighted the concerning lack of implementation of management measures for fishery stocks, particularly the Northern Cod and Capelin stocks. Despite the availability of tools and resources to improve the situation, there has been a significant delay in implementing necessary measures to ensure the sustainability and recovery of these stocks. Rebecca mentioned that there have been tools and resources in place since 2019, such as a fisheries monitoring policy and a modernized Fisheries Act, which require rebuilding plans and sustainable management of fish stocks. However, there has been a notable gap in implementing these measures effectively. The lack of a comprehensive management plan for these stocks, with defined targets and harvest control rules, has hindered progress towards their recovery. Furthermore, the delay in implementing these management measures has led to uncertainty and varying perspectives among stakeholders, including the fishing industry representatives. The Fisheries Union has expressed a desire to increase harvests, even though the stocks are not at healthy levels. This highlights the urgency of implementing ecosystem-based management plans to prevent overfishing and ensure the long-term health of the fishery stocks. The failure to implement these management measures in a timely manner not only jeopardizes the recovery of fishery stocks but also impacts the fishing community and the ecosystem as a whole. Without clear direction and effective management plans grounded in science, the risk of further decline in fish stocks remains high. Overall, the episode underscores the critical need for prompt and effective implementation of management measures for fishery stocks to ensure their sustainability and prevent long-lasting impacts on the fishing industry and the marine ecosystem. Importance of Comprehensive Management Plans for Fishery Stocks In the episode, Rebecca Skynes from Oceania Canada emphasized the critical importance of having a comprehensive management plan in place for fishery stocks. The management plan should include defined targets and harvest control rules to ensure sustainable and healthy levels for the stocks. Here are some key points highlighting the significance of such plans: Rebuilding Plans: Rebecca mentioned that there is a lack of a comprehensive management plan for fishery stocks like Northern Cod and Capelin. Without a clear plan in place, it becomes challenging to monitor and manage the stocks effectively. Rebuilding plans are essential for stocks that fall within the critical zone, as they provide a roadmap for recovery and sustainable management. Predictable Framework: A well-defined management plan provides a predictable framework for the fishing season. It helps avoid crisis management situations where decisions are made reactively. By establishing clear targets and rules, stakeholders can better prepare for the fishing season and ensure that harvest levels are sustainable. Ecosystem-Based Approaches: The implementation of ecosystem-based management plans is crucial for considering the broader ecological context in which fishery stocks exist. By incorporating ecosystem considerations into management decisions, it becomes possible to address the interconnectedness of species and habitats, leading to more holistic and sustainable management practices. Timeliness and Adaptability: Management plans need to be timely and adaptable to changing conditions. With climate change introducing additional uncertainties, having flexible and responsive management plans is essential. Timely decisions based on the latest scientific information can help prevent overfishing and ensure the long-term health of fishery stocks. Long-Term Vision: A comprehensive management plan should have a long-term vision for the recovery and sustainability of fishery stocks. By setting clear targets for what constitutes a healthy stock and defining harvest control rules to achieve those targets, managers can work towards ensuring the long-term viability of the fisheries. In conclusion, the implementation of comprehensive management plans with defined targets and harvest control rules is crucial for the sustainable management of fishery stocks. These plans provide a structured framework for decision-making, promote ecosystem-based approaches, and aim to achieve healthy and resilient fishery stocks for the future. It is essential for stakeholders, policymakers, and the public to advocate for the development and implementation of robust management plans to protect and conserve our ocean resources.

And even if the person that's delivering that news—they're trying to provide the best communication possible—but you just don't hear anything else. And you're overwhelmed trying to process everything and trying to just figure out, what is that next step?” TS 8:52 “There's the person providing the navigation services, and then there's the billing practitioner who then is submitting the codes that allow for the reimbursement. . . . So you have the person providing navigation services who may be an oncology nurse. It may be a health worker. It may be a patient navigator. It could be an ambulatory nurse. So it's dependent upon these services being provided and not the title, and CMS is clear about that. And it describes within the final rule the different activities that can be applied and how they relate to then competencies that the person providing navigation services should either be trained or certified in.” TS 16:53 [American Cancer Society has] a training program to support. We have implementation programs that we're supporting that we've built out. And so it's really trying to be responsive to the needs of those who are boots on the ground implementing these codes. And how can we make it easier? Because we know that patients deserve this. So if we're able to now have this more sustainable pathway, let's make it easier to get to that point.” TS 20:10 “So for the patient consent process, it can be done verbally, as long as it's documented that it took place, because there is that 20% cost sharing that the patient could receive a bill for if they don't have additional coverage for that. And I worry that that could increase disparities, truthfully, because it's going to be the subset of the population that then needs it the most, that then could say no because of the concern over that additional copay. I think that is something that we need to watch very carefully and continue to advocate for alternatives around and how we can support patients in continuing to have equitable access regardless of the ability to pay for that portion of navigation. Because we've never done that. We've never charged patients for navigation until now.” TS 21:22 One of the things that [American Cancer Society] is committed to is continuing to keep our training relevant, updated year after year, with having annual refreshers, having curriculum that is responsive—we know that oncology landscape is ever-changing, right? So how do we stay abreast of that as professionals? And working with ONS to make sure that we're keeping all of those hot topics infused within that curriculum in a way that is practical and meaningful for the professional. They need to digest that information and then run with it. ONS is a fabulous partner with that.” TS 39:02
