  • The New Ministers Manual
    The New Ministers Manual Paul W. Powell Unless otherwise identified, scripture quotations are from the Holy Bible, King James Version. Scripture identified from the New American Standard Bible, Copyright the Lockman Foundation 1960, 1962, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973,1975,1977. Copyright 1994 Paul W. Powell All Rights Reserved ii Dedicated to The Students of Truett Seminary and all other young people on whom the mantle of ministry will fall iii iv PREFACE Thomas Jefferson once described the presidency as “a splendid misery.” I think that is an apt description of the ministry. I know of no calling that is more rewarding, and at the same time, more demanding than being a minister. The modern minister faces a multitude of tasks that are both exciting and exacting. He must conduct funerals and weddings, often on the same day. He must be a scholar, a public speaker, an educator, a financier, a CEO, a personnel manager, a shepherd and a personal counselor. While still a student at Baylor University I became pastor of an open country church. I soon found myself confronted with many things I had seen and even been a part of in my home church, but to which I paid little attention until I was called on to do them myself. In the next 34 years I pastored churches of all sizes, my last church having more than 7,000 members. As I became pastor of larger churches I would ask young ministers to assist me in funerals, weddings, baptisms, so they could learn firsthand what to do. What I have recorded in this book are some of the things I tried to teach them.

In both Paradise Lost (1667) and Moby Dick ​ ​ ​ (1851), a distinctly political vein can be detected, and these works contain incredibly similar characters, Satan and Ahab, who, in their kinship, seem to point to a consistent philosophy of political progression between these two texts that lines up with the ideologies of Milton’s and Melville’s other writings. John Milton was an outspoken critic of the English monarchy during the English Civil War (1642-1651). He railed against tyranny and the monarchy during a polemical career that carried him into a position in the cabinet of Lord Protector Cromwell after the execution of Charles I in 1649.

  • North Atlantic Right Whale Vessel Speed Rule Assessment
    North Atlantic Right Whale (Eubalaena glacialis) Vessel Speed Rule Assessment June 2020 NOAA Fisheries, Office of Protected Resources EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The North Atlantic right whale (Eubalaena glacialis) remains one of the most endangered large whales in the world with an estimated population size of about 400 individuals at the end of 2018 (Pace et al. 2017; Hayes et al. 2019). Despite decades of protection, a combination of anthropogenic impacts and a low calving rate continue to impede recovery of the species (Kraus et al. 2016; Corkeron et al. 2018; Hayes et al. 2019). The most pressing threats to right whale survival include entanglement in fishing gear and collisions with vessels, which combined are responsible for a minimum of 86 mortalities and serious injuries in the U.S. and Canada between 2000 and 2017 (Waring et al. 2004; Waring et al. 2009; Waring et al. 2013; Hayes et al. 2019) representing approximately 20% of the extant population. In 2008, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) implemented a seasonal, mandatory vessel speed rule in certain areas along the U.S. East Coast to reduce the risk of vessel collisions with right whales. We conducted a review of the speed rule to evaluate how effective it is at reducing the incidence of right whale mortality and serious injury due to vessel strikes and where it could be improved. While it is not possible to determine a direct causal link, the number of documented vessel strike mortalities and serious injuries decreased from 12 during the 10 years prior to the rule’s implementation to 8 in the 10 years since implementation.
