South Africa Special #2 SOUTH AFRICA SPECIAL A COUNTRY, A CITY AND A SHIPYARD; WORKING TOGETHER, POISED FOR GROWTH GREEN DEVELOPMENT INTEGRAL BALLAST WATER TREATMENT SOLUTIONS, DAMEN’S ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, THE ASD TUG 2810 HYBRID AND MORE 2 3 DEAR READER, Last year I introduced our corporate magazine to you and I invited you to comment on this new annual publication – and so you did. Thank you for your many responses. Basically, we received much, humbling, praise from engineers, ministers, captains, purchasing managers – it seems to be a good read for all. There was some good criticism too. So, in DAMEN #2 we have incorporated your feedback – like we do with our vessels. I hope you will continue to give your feedback on this issue. We take it seriously. Now back to business. The past 12-15 months can be characterised as a transitional period. In 2013 we delivered a record number of 170 vessels while reorganising our production and several yards at the same time. Our order book is full and includes several brand new designs that have made it to the market and which you will fi nd in this magazine, alongside other developments in R&D, HSEQ and ‘going green’. I daresay Damen is not yet a ´green company´, but we are devoting much time and energy to get there. This goes for using recyclable material and hybrid lease-cars for employees as well as for building (hybrid) vessels and delivering environmentally sound services. In the end, however, I believe shipbuilding is a ‘peoples-business’. Hence, you will fi nd quite a few personal (both professional and private) insights in these pages. I wish you a fl ourishing business and hope you will enjoy the magazine.

With Damen likely to achieve a record orderbook by the end of the second quarter, the three board members – Chief Executive Officer René Berkvens, Chief Operations Officer Arnout Damen and Chief Financial Officer Frank Eggink – outline their thoughts on the company’s achievements to date and indeed, the challenges from accelerated growth and where it could do better. BIRD’S-EYE VIEW Q: Clearly, Damen has accomplished a great deal in 2012 and 2013; “Crucially, we want to be able to control the impact of this terrific new yards have been opened and business has been booming in some growth so it is sustainable,” René says. of your market segments such as Security, Offshore and Yachting, but has it all been ‘plain sailing’ to use a nautical term? Q: This growth led to a big influx of new talent to Damen to ensure that it could meet its customers’ needs. How did you deal with that? René comments: “2013 was an absolute record year, our order intake was steady and we achieved 170 deliveries. René explains: “Indeed, we have had an influx of both young and new blood and experienced hires both in the Netherlands “However, this doesn’t mean it wasn’t without its challenges. We and abroad. This meant that many people had to get used to a had to ‘fight on many fronts’ as it were – maintaining our quality new environment, forming new working relationships, new ways L engineering, getting the right stock levels, logistics etc. Our of working and becoming part of the Damen family. We strive for subcontractors worked with us on this and it wasn’t easy for them ‘One Damen’ in everything we do.” AN INTERVIEW either. I can safely say that without our trusted suppliers we wouldn’t have realised the results that we did.” Arnout stresses: “Many of our new engineers had to face a steep learning curve for sure. But without this influx of engineering WITH THE Frank adds: “Damen is not alone in having to deal with growth pains. expertise we could not have taken on some of the pioneering The Group has grappled with sales growth of current and new vessel offshore projects for instance. We now have the engineering types, corresponding hull stock levels for fast delivery times, higher capacity to serve our customers better, to cut down lead times, EXECUTIVE customer finance demands, assimilating new and experienced talent while still ensuring the high Damen quality levels.” while maintaining the company culture, enhancing organisational capability through investments in systems and process redesign, Q: Would you say the shipbuilding environment is changing, and if BOARD developing new production capacity both owned and with business so, how is Damen adapting to this? partners and cashflow. Striking a sustainable balance between all has presented a formidable challenge and that is what the Executive René says: “There is certainly more distance between the designers Board is singularly focussed on. Personally, I think we are capable of and engineers of the vessel and the shipbuilding location. And it is a achieving even more than we do today. Damen is performing well challenge to overcome these distances and deliver results through a but there is considerable potential that we all work hard to unlock.” more geographically dispersed organisation.” 8 9 STRATEGY | EXECUTIVE BOARD Frank adds: “As the company grows worldwide, it does require “However, all the product knowledge remains in the Netherlands somewhat of a shift in mindset; everyone needs curiosity and more and Damen only builds at those locations where it can absolutely “Damen can offer a cultural awareness about the countries where we produce and where guarantee the Damen standards of quality,” Arnout stresses. we sell our vessels.

Based “We see my father Kommer still going around many vessels with his notebook looking at how things can be improved – we should all “Yes, absolutely.

René says: “It is important to have the right combination in our sales portfolio, not just the standard built series production Arnout emphasises: “Damen always has been very focused on that Damen is known for, but also the more specialist vessels product development and this has led to the pioneering Hybrid ASD such as those in the offshore sector that need more of a project Tug, the Sea Axe bow and soon the LNG-powered EcoLiner.

  • Juilliard Dance
    Juilliard Dance Senior Graduation Concert 2019 Welcome to Juilliard Dance Senior Graduation Concert 2019 Tonight, you will experience the culmination of a transformative four-year journey for the senior class of Juilliard Dance. Through rigorous physical training and artistic and intellectual exploration, all of the fourth-year dancers have expanded the possibilities of their movement abilities, stretching beyond what they thought possible when entering the program as freshmen. They have accepted the challenge of what it means to be a generous citizen artist and hold that responsibility close to their hearts. Chosen by the dancers, the solos and duets presented tonight have been commissioned for this evening or acquired from existing repertory and staged for this singular occasion. The works represent the manifestation of an evolution of growth and the discovery of their powerfully unique artistic voices. I am immensely proud of each and every fourth-year artist; it has been a joy and an honor to get to know the senior class, a group of individuals who will inevitably change the landscape of the field of dance as it exists today. Please join me for a standing ovation, cheering on the members of the class of 2019 as they take the stage for the last time together in the Peter Jay Sharp Theater. Well done, dancers—we thank you for your beautiful contributions to our Juilliard community and to the world beyond our campus. Sincerely, Little mortal jump Alicia Graf Mack Director, Juilliard Dance Cover: Alejandro Cerrudo's This page: Collaboration

ThyssenKrupp did not disclose the value of the contract. Reports in Brazil said the vessels will cost in total about US$1.6 billion. With ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems’ leader- ship and its naval systems expertise, the Águas Azuis Consortium companies will now form a specific purpose company (SPC) for the construction phase of the programme. The vessels are scheduled for delivery between 2024 and 2028 and will undertake escort role to counter possible threats, ensure the protection of maritime traffic, and control the Brazilian jurisdictional waters, the so-called Blue Amazon, which totals over 4.5 million square kilometres. The corvette programme will bring benefits to the Brazilian economy, ThyssenKrupp said. Brazilian content will be more than 40% during shipbuilding and there will also be Brazilian development of vessel equipment systems. This will involve generation of more than 1,000 direct jobs and approximately 4,000 indirect jobs. The programme contemplates an extensive transfer of technology in the naval engineering sector for military shipbuilding, combat and platform management systems.

  • Intersection Between Mental Health and the Juvenile Justice System Mental Health Disorders Are Prevalent Among Youths in the Juvenile Justice System
    Last updated: July 2017 www.ojjdp.gov/mpg Intersection between Mental Health and the Juvenile Justice System Mental health disorders are prevalent among youths in the juvenile justice system. A meta-analysis by Vincent and colleagues (2008) suggested that at some juvenile justice contact points, as many as 70 percent of youths have a diagnosable mental health problem. This is consistent with other studies that point to the overrepresentation of youths with mental/behavioral health disorders within the juvenile justice system (Shufelt and Cocozza 2006; Meservey and Skowyra 2015; Teplin et al. 2015). However, prevalence varies depending on the stage in the justice system at which youths are assessed. In a nationwide study, the prevalence of diagnosed disorders increased the further that youths were processed in the juvenile justice system (Wasserman et al. 2010). While there appears to be a prevalence of youths with mental health issues in the juvenile justice system, the relationship between mental health problems and involvement in the system is complicated, and it can be hard to disentangle correlational from causal relationships between the two (Shubert and Mulvey 2014). This literature review will focus on the scope of mental health problems of at-risk and justice-involved youths; the impact of mental health on justice involvement as well as the impact of justice involvement on mental health; disparities in mental health treatment in the juvenile justice system; and evidence- based programs that have been shown to improve outcomes for youths with mental health issues.
