Sports-mad 22-year-old saved by pioneering surgery after stroke
Posted Friday, 1 July 2016 by Claire Still
When Christina Wennell found her son Joseph on the floor of his room, she thought he'd fainted. That the 22-year-old - who loved swimming and rugby - had had a stroke wasn't even on her mind.
"He couldn't move and was speaking incoherently. I called for an ambulance and it was while I was talking to them that it dawned on me – 'he's had a stroke'. I asked him to smile and he couldn't," said the 48-year-old mum-of-two.
Joseph was rushed to his local hospital before being transferred to Queen's Hospital, which is the region's hyper acute stroke unit (HASU), after a scan discovered a blood clot on his brain.
He went straight into surgery – a keyhole procedure in which surgeons removed the clot, going in through his groin.
Christina said: "They said it would take 40 minutes to an hour – but it felt much longer than that because I was waiting. It was so lucky a surgeon was there who could do that procedure. It went well and he could count to five and answer questions about the family straight afterwards."
He left our hospital within two days of his surgery on 1 June, and spent a further week recovering at Basildon Hospital before returning to the family home in Riverside Walk, Wickford, to continue his rehabilitation.
Christina, an environmental health officer, said: "He's made such an amazing recovery. He's already been swimming again and his physiotherapist said he no longer needs it as he's so fit.
"He has suffered some damage to the brain, struggles with some tasks and has lost some of his short-term memory, but we're really pleased with his progress and hope he can recover fully and get back to work. At first it was a relief just when he could sit up so he's really sprung back from where he was."
Key to his recovery was getting the pioneering surgery as quickly as possible. Luckily for Joseph, Christina was working from home that day and found him in time.
She said: "When I realised it was a stroke I just kept saying, 'it can't be a stroke, he's only 22 and he's too fit'. We're just so grateful for everything that's been done for him and hope he can get back to living his life as before."
Strokes are more common in elderly patients and Joseph's case was particularly rare, given his age and fitness. He swims for Basildon Swimming Club, has competed in the Masters swimming competitions and is a lifeguard at his local pool. He also plays rugby regularly.
Back at home with his family - including dad Jim, 49, a watch manager for the London Fire Brigade, and brother William, 19, a student - Joseph is continuing to progress. Christina said he's physically back to his old self and is having speech and language therapy to aid his recovery.
Joseph, who works in the city for insurance firm Besso, had an ischaemic stroke, where blood vessels carrying oxygen to the brain become blocked. This would traditionally be treated using clot-busting drugs, however, these can't always dissolve the clot.
The surgery is much more effective, immediately restoring bloody supply to the brain, which has helped Joseph's speedy recovery.
Dr Sreeman Andole, our Director of Specialist Medicine, said:
"For many people, life after stroke means living with residual damage such as physical paralysis, or psychological effects like memory loss.
"It's wonderful to see that newer treatments such as clot retrieval are able to help patients like Joseph regain almost full faculties.
"We're proud to provide this for our stroke patients to help them get back to their normal life as soon as possible."
This clot retrieval surgery only became a recognised treatment by NICE in February this year.
Stroke facts:
Dr Andole and his team see around 2,000 stroke patients each year – just 20 of them are young people like Joseph
85% of strokes are ischaemic
Someone in the UK has a stroke every three and a half minutes
Strokes kill twice as many women as breast cancer and more men than prostate and testicular cancer combined each year
Stroke is one of the largest causes of disability – half of all stroke survivors have a disability.

Shortly after Amy Winehouse died, her father, Mitch, distributed his daughter's clothing to fans outside of her London flat. But that was not the end of her sartorial legacy. British clothing company Fred Perry has just announced that it will release the clothing line she had created with the company before she died after having received the blessing of Amy's family, according to E! Online.
When the line was first announced in the fall, Winehouse proclaimed that she dressed "like I'm an old black Jewish man." If this tasteful clothing line is any indication then old Jewish men prefer houndstooth and cardigans.
All profits from the sale of Winehouse's line will go to the soon to be established Amy Winehouse Foundation, which will help children and young people.

US Chief Justice John Roberts has left hospital to resume his vacation as the mystery over his seizures is dissected by the medical experts.
/ News / July 31, 2007 April 9, 2013
Chief Justice John Roberts Jr. left a Maine hospital Tuesday, medically cleared to resume his vacation but with the mystery over the cause of his seizure the previous day still unresolved.
Seizure, a condition caused by over-excitation of the brain that can last from seconds to minutes, is a relatively common medical phenomenon. Seizures of varying degrees of severity occur in one out of 10 adults, according to the Epilepsy Foundation.
A Supreme Court spokeswoman has said Roberts had suffered a "benign idiopathic seizure," in which neurologists find no direct cause of the seizure, such as a tumor or stroke. This diagnosis is made in roughly 70 percent of people who have suffered one or more seizures.
"Idiopathic seizures are usually related to seizure disorders that we think are genetic, somebody carrying a genetic predisposition that will occasionally, under the right circumstances, have a convulsive seizure," said Dr. John Ebersole, director of the Adult Epilepsy Center at the University of Chicago.
For people who suffer such seizures, the lack of a clear cause can be disconcerting.
"That term is scary," said Howard Zwirn, a Chicago environmental consultant and attorney who was diagnosed with epilepsy and underwent brain surgery to ease his seizures in 2004. "When I had a heavy seizure, I would go to hospital and have my blood tested, and it would show that I had a seizure, but no source."
In addition to blood testing, Roberts likely received several other tests following his seizure, including MRI brain scans and electroencephalograms, or EEGS, which measure brain electrical activity. Roberts, 52, also assured President Bush by phone on Tuesday that he felt fine.
Doctors will have also tried to identify a trigger that could have set off both Roberts' latest seizure and another episode he experienced in 1993, such as sleep deprivation, stress, fever, or infection, Ebersole said.

Studer Family Children's Hospital names NICU after Pediatrix following $2.5M donation
A $2.5 million donation from the Pediatrix Medical Group has immediately gone into action to benefit the patients of the Studer Family Children's Hospital at Ascension Sacred Heart, providing a level of privacy and intimate care in the new hospital's neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) that was previously only a dream.
Sacred Heart announced Thursday that in honor of the donation, the second-floor NICU will be named the "Pediatrix Medical Group, an affiliate of Mednax."
Pediatrix collaborated with the Children's Hospital to create the region's only level III neonatal intensive care unit, which cares for the most critically ill and premature newborns.
As Dr. Ramak Amjad, the medical director and corporate director for Pediatrix Medical Group, stood in a four-room wing of the new NICU, he illustrated the upgraded privacy features and advantages for parents compared to the Children's Hospital's previous NICU.
"In the old unit, this area here would have had 10 babies," said Amjad, pointing to a small wing that now contains four private rooms. "So what it does is it creates a space for the family to really be able to be there and to be present for the care of their babies. It's a very patient-centric and family-centric environment."

Baptist adding on:Baptist Hospital announces new hospital at Brent Lane
The new hospital officially opened in early May, and since then the 72-bed NICU has averaged around 61 patients a day. Each NICU area includes private rooms for one, fold-out couches outside of those rooms, and the option in those areas for mothers to breastfeed and pump without dividers.
The freestanding hospital itself was phase one of the project. Sacred Heart Foundation President Carol Carlan said she had tears in her eyes on May 4 when the new hospital officially began admitting patients, as doctors and families began transporting babies to the upgraded facility.
"I started on this project seven years ago and watching through the older hospital, I saw it firsthand, so I'll never forget May the 4th for as long as I live," Carlan said. "We (moved the babies) early in the morning and there were tears from all of us, tears from doctors, and they were happy tears; we were moving families into spaces where they could be together."
Phase two, Carlan said, could be completed before the end of 2020. It is a 12-bed, pediatric oncology unit that will be made possible through a partnership with The Bear Family Foundation. The oncology unit will serve children who require extended hospital stays.
"In the current environment, the families can't be with them," Carlan said. "In this new facility, it will be a family area, as well. It puts them in more of a home-like environment."
Carlan said Sacred Heart has already raised $2.2 million of a desired $4 million goal to go toward the oncology unit, which will be built on the first floor of the Children's Hospital.
Phase three is still in the works and will transform third-floor shell space into a pediatric OR suite.
"Currently our pediatric patients still go over to the main OR to have surgery," Children's Hospital President Will Condon said. "And with this build-out, all of our kids will have surgery here in the Children's Hospital."
Amjad, who is also the medical director for the Children's Hospital's NICU, believes the new Pediatrix Medical Group, an affiliate of Mednax NICU and the developing facility itself is further establishing the Children's Hospital as one of the country's very best.
"All the doctors that were here before me, all the nursing staff, if we didn't give great care and have great outcomes like we do, we wouldn't need a 72-bed unit because families would be going elsewhere," Amjad said. "So by having a hospital and the abilities that we have, with the equipment and the staff and the nurses and the RTs and everybody, we're able to keep babies in Pensacola and provide them the same care they would get in Atlanta, they would get in Miami, they would get in New York, they would get anywhere. This is world-class care that they get here."


During National Water Week, Australians are encouraged to protect, conserve and get involved in water-related activities and celebrations around the country.
Designed to help the community to understand and take action to protect and conserve our precious water resources and habitats, National Water Week runs in October each year.
The National Water Week Poster Competition was back again this year to celebrate National Water Week.
Primary school students are asked to create a poster reflecting water related topics which are important to them. The national theme this year is 'Water for me, Water for all'.
There were four categories: Prep, years 1 and 2, years 3 and 4 and years 5 and 6. Posters were judged on their creativity, as well as the ability to convey water related issues.
The first place winners in each category on a regional level were advanced through to state level judging.
We received a large number of entries this year and were impressed with the creativity of all the posters. A big thanks to all students who participated in this year's National Water Week Poster Competition and congratulations to all the winners!

TORONTO — Ontario health officials are expected to release new COVID-19 projections today.
It will be the first time they have released such data since sending the province's two biggest virus hot spots — Toronto and Peel Region — into lockdown earlier this week.
Two weeks ago, the province unveiled modelling that showed Ontario could see as many as 6,500 new daily cases of COVID-19 by mid-December unless steps are taken to limit the spread of the virus.
It said the province would reach 2,500 new daily cases by that time if the growth rate was at three per cent, or 6,500 if the growth rate was at five per cent.
At the time, Dr. Adalsteinn Brown, one of the experts behind the projections, said a five per cent growth rate was "slightly optimistic.''
Premier Doug Ford announced he would lower thresholds for imposing stricter COVID-19 measures under the province's colour-coded restrictions system the following day.

Quebec's highest court is scheduled to deliver its ruling today on appeals to the life sentence of Alexandre Bissonnette, who shot and killed six men in a Quebec City mosque in 2017.
Bissonnette was sentenced in February 2019 to life in prison without the possibility of parole for 40 years.
Both sides appealed the ruling: the defence said the killer should be allowed a parole hearing in 25 years while the Crown said 40 years wasn't enough, and Bissonnette should not have the possibility to leave prison before 50 years.
And in Toronto, a psychiatrist is expected to testify for the defence in the murder trial for a man who drove a van down a crowded Toronto sidewalk, killing 10 people.
Alek Minassian has pleaded not guilty to 10 counts of first-degree murder and 16 counts of attempted murder.
The defence argues the 28-year-old from Richmond Hill, Ont., should be found not criminally responsible for his actions on April 23, 2018, due to autism spectrum disorder.

In remarks billed as a Thanksgiving address to the nation, the Democrat urged Americans to "hang on" and not "surrender to the fatigue" after months of coping with the virus.
He noted that public health officials have asked Americans to give up many of the traditions that make Thanksgiving special, like big indoor family get-togethers.
Biden said he knows how hard it is to give up family traditions but that it's very important this year given the spike in virus cases, averaging about 160,000 a day.
He urged everyone to wear masks, practice social distancing and limit the size of groups, calling it a "patriotic duty" until a vaccine is approved.

SEOUL — The operator of an online chat room in South Korea was sentenced today to 40 years in prison for blackmailing dozens of women, including minors, into filming sexually explicit video and selling them to others.
The Seoul Central District Court convicted Cho Ju-bin, 24, of violating the laws on protecting minors and organizing a criminal ring, court spokesman Kim Yong Chan said.
The court ruled Cho "used various methods to lure and blackmail a large number of victims into making sexually abusive contents and distributed them to many people for an extended period," Kim said. "
He particularly disclosed the identities of many victims and inflicted irreparable damages to them."
Cho has maintained he only cheated victims into making such video but didn't blackmail or coerce them, forcing some of the victims to testify in court.
Kim said the court decided to isolate Cho from society for a prolonged period in consideration of his attitude and the seriousness and evil influence of his crime.
Both Cho and prosecutors, who had requested a life sentence, have one week to appeal.

In entertainment ...
There's a rose-coloured opportunity for would-be hoteliers looking to flaunt their wealth in small-town Canada.
A landmark location from the beloved CBC sitcom "Schitt's Creek" hit the market Wednesday, offering buyers the chance to re-enact the show's riches-to-rags saga for a listing price of $2 million.
The Hockley Motel in Mono, a town of about 8,000 people northwest of Toronto, served as the exterior set for the Rose family's home on the Emmy Award-winning series.
The listing presents the 6.7-acre riverside property as a fixer-upper that would appeal to travellers seeking rural refuge from the commotion and contagion risk of city life in the COVID-19 era.
It's a sales pitch that may sound familiar to "Schitt's Creek" fans who have followed the Rose family as they refurbished their motel-turned-home in a town they once purchased as a joke, said property owner Jesse Tipping.
ICYMI ...
ABBOTSFORD, B.C. — A school superintendent in British Columbia is apologizing to an Indigenous mother whose daughter was given an assignment to find something good about the infamous residential school system.
Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission detailed how the residential school system played a central role in perpetrating cultural genocide against Indigenous people.
Krista MacInnis says she was reduced to tears when her daughter asked for help on the Grade 6 assignment from William A. Fraser Middle School in Abbotsford.
MacInnis says she asked her daughter to erase the work she had done, which included the web address for a blog post entitled "Balancing the Biased 'Genocide' Story About Residential Schools.''
MacInnis says she's since heard from the superintendent of the Abbotsford school district, Kevin Godden, who told her as a person of colour he was outraged by the assignment her daughter received.
MacInnis says she's heard from the school's principal, who told her he has spoken with the teacher responsible for the assignment and they would both like to apologize to the mother and her daughter.

Death Cafes
Blog / By christi
We have all heard the well-intentioned but limited words "I'm sorry for your loss." They are said awkwardly and softly, like trying not to spook an animal. They don't even necessarily make sense. That being said, we cannot fault the speakers of these words for their limitations when we have all been taught by society that death, although part of everyone's life experience, is a taboo topic. In an attempt to sympathize (the ability to feel for someone) and say "I can't imagine what you're going through," empathy (the ability to relate to someone) no longer becomes an option. And when you decide empathy is no longer possible, you begin to see that person as someone completely different from you or a different kind of person. This idea, of course, is the basis of our zebra theme here at The Christi Center. This is an immense cultural fault, potentially and frequently leaving those affected by loss feeling alone and isolated, but it is possible to fix and worth doing so.
We are not the only ones talking about this and passionate about changing it. In 2011, a man named Jon Underwood held the first Death Cafe, an idea inspired by the Swiss Cafe Mortel movement. To explain, a Death Cafe is simply a gathering in which people come together to speak openly about death. It is for anyone and everyone, religious or not, and is not meant to act as a grief support group, just an open discussion as what's now grown into a community likes to emphasize. The idea has caught on like wildfire, with Death Cafes appearing all over the nation. Without a doubt, Death Cafes seem to be a step forward in the direction of grief becoming more acknowledged and understood. Instead of "I can't imagine what you're going through," perhaps we will see more of an understanding that grief is complex and different for every individual. It is a unique journey, but not one meant to be taken alone.

About me: My name is Lana Baumgartner, and I am currently an intern at The Christi Center. I study at UT Austin pursuing a degree in Arabic and Business Foundations. I am passionate about working at TCC, because it opens me up to understanding the complexities that lie within death and grieving, a truly life-enrching experience.

Alex Goligoski: Mustache Boy
It's all fun and games until someone gets Burt (Reynolds).
By Sean Conboy
Photo Courtesy of Gregory Shamus/Pittsburgh Penguins
It's not a Robert Goulet. It's certainly not a Tom Selleck. This breed of mustache looks as if it was grown in 1985 by a high-schooler rebelling against his mom for confiscating his Def Leppard record. It's wispy; it's meek, and Alex Goligoski hates it. Frankly, he can't wait to shave it off. But if he reaches for the Mach 3, it will cost him five Benjamins.
As a 24-year-old emerging defenseman for the Pittsburgh Penguins, Goligoski doesn't deserve this humiliation. He won a Stanley Cup last spring. When he rolls down the window of his car in the Mellon Arena parking lot, the screams of adoring puck bunnies nearly drown out the pulsing thump of his techno mix. As a member of the 'Burgh's version of The Beatles, Goligoski deserves an ego. But the Penguins are a humble bunch, and this caterpillar 'stache would damper anyone's swagger.
It all started with a game called Juice Boy, the brainchild of head coach Dan Bylsma. At the end of certain practices, the Penguins hold a routine shootout competition during which players go one-on-one against the goaltenders. Score a goal and you're safe—free to taunt teammates from the bench. The last man standing becomes Juice Boy and must serve his penance by delivering cups of Gatorade to teammates' lockers.
Only 39-year-old Bill Guerin has immunity from the contest. Instead, he grabs a microphone from the penalty box and announces play-by-play over the public-address system, chiding teammates for particularly bad dekes. Goalie Marc-André Fleury has a reputation for being especially hard on the team's superstars, Goligoski reports. Sidney Crosby even accused Fleury of rigging the game when Sid the Kid became Juice Boy last year.
This season, Bylsma upped the ante and Mustache Boy was born. At the end of the first practice of every month, the loser of the shootout has to sport a 'stache for the entire month or face a $500 fine. Goligoski's punishment came just in time for the holidays. "Even my family was laughing at me," he says. "Luckily we were playing away in New York over Thanksgiving so I didn't have to go home with it."
Even though the Minnesota native couldn't return home for Thanksgiving, he still was able to have a traditional turkey dinner with his extended family. "Billy Guerin and his family invited the entire team to dinner at his home on Long Island," says Goligoski. "Everyone around here is so welcoming, and it says a lot about the organization that the wives and kids of the players are always around to be part of the team too."
Baseball writer Peter Gammons famously described the dysfunctional 1978 Boston Red Sox as "25 cabs for 25 players." In other words, the players never shared rides or laughs after games. The Penguins are more like one party bus for 25 players. The coaches—most not far removed from their own playing days—are part of the gang too. When the team bus got its wheels stuck in a Buffalo blizzard this winter, the entire coaching staff jumped out and pushed. "You're always together, and it's truly everybody helping each other out," Goligoski says. "We're like a family."
When the Penguins signed Goligoski to a three-year, $5.5 million extension in the offseason, many saw it as a move to replace veteran defenseman Sergei Gonchar, whose contract expires at the end of this season. Gonchar could have seen his young teammate as a threat. Instead, the five-time all-star became a mentor to Goligoski, who was just learning to skate as a kindergartener on the ponds of Grand Rapids when Gonchar entered the NHL in 1991.
"Gonch is great," Goligoski says. "He's always trying to teach me the little things, and when you can learn from someone who's been in the league as long he has, you listen up." Gonchar's guidance has reaped dividends—through the first half of the season, Goligoski led Penguins defensemen with six goals.
Miraculously, he scored four with the 'stache, but that doesn't mean it will become a permanent fixture. In December, he passed the albatross to winger Tyler Kennedy. In the locker room after Kennedy was crowned Yuletide Mustache Boy, Crosby turned to Kennedy and winked, "That's going on your Christmas cards."
7 Burning Questions with Alex Goligoski (Web Extra)
PM: Be honest – do you hear it when the fans at Mellon Arena are screaming "shoooooot" when you're on the Power Play?
AG: Oh, you definitely hear it. The fans want pucks at the net, and we're trying. It's not like we're trying not to shoot. We love scoring goals.
PM: What music do you listen to before games to get yourself pumped up?
AG: It's kind of weird, I guess, but I always listen to the BPM station on XM Radio. It's like, techno. I turn it up loud and just zone out on the ride in to the arena.
PM: What's your favorite place to eat in the city?
AG: The Cheesecake Factory, of course. Nakama is a good lunch spot. The South Side is a great area.
PM: Who do you hang out with the most on the team?
AG: Oh, it's really everybody hanging out together here. But maybe Ryan Whitney when he was here. I actually lived with him for a while.
PM: Was it hard to see your friend (Whitney) get traded to Anaheim last season?
AG: Yeah, it's different. It's kind of when you realize that this is a business, too. The weirdest part was seeing him in a different jersey and playing against him.
PM: Everyone on the Penguins has a nickname. What's yours?
AG: Goose.
PM: Unfortunately you didn't dress for Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals in Detroit. Did you watch the game in the press box?
AG: No! The first two periods we were in the stands, actually. There was no place to us to sit because all the boxes were full since it was the Finals. So we were just wandering around Joe Louis Arena trying to find wherever we could to watch the game.
Then during the third period we went down into the locker room and since we were winning (2-0) someone told us to throw our gear on for the Cup celebration. We were about halfway dressed when Detroit scored—and we all thought 'Oh boy, we jinxed it.' So it got a little nervous in the locker room, but thankfully we all know how it worked out.

STAR WARS EPISODE VIII delayed by seven months
Star Wars: Episode VIII has been delayed by seven months. It will now be released on 15 December 2017, falling back from its original May release date.
There are several likely reasons for this. The first is that, after the success of The Force Awakens, Disney appears to have requested rewrites to more firmly centre the movie on the established new characters of Poe Dameron, Finn and Rey. Apparently Rey was originally going to take a slightly smaller role, presumably as she'd be spending most of the time offscreen carrying Mark Hamill around like a backpack for training purposes, and several new characters were going to pick up the slack. It now sounds like the new characters will, whilst still be present, be more in supporting roles to the new trilogy's new central trio.
The second, and frankly more likely reason, is that Disney assessed that the May 2017 release date was going to be more crowded with blockbusters and Episode VIII would be more likely to repeat The Force Awakens's massive success (now at $1.9 billion and still climbing at an impressive rate) if it fell back to December. However, that will put Episode VIII (the sequel to what will almost certainly be the second-biggest movie of all time) head-to-head with James Cameron's Avatar II (the sequel to what will almost certainly still be the biggest movie of all time) in a real cinematic clash of the titans.
There's also the fact that the release schedule was a tad ambitious, with principal photography on VIII not due to start until the spring of this year and with extensive effects work likely required (although some early shooting has already been completed on the Irish islands used for Luke's planet in VII), director/writer Rian Johnson could do with the extra time.

This 70th week of Daniel Bible study post reviews a video by Gabriel Ansley Erb of 2028 END called DANIEL'S 70 WEEKS EXPLAINED | THE UNTOLD TRUTH
Gabriel Ansley Erb posted this video explanation in my End Times Deceptions Facebook group and tagged me in it, saying, "Hi David, the following video would bless you and your listeners to no end, for it correctly reveals how Christ "confirmed the covenant with many for ONE WEEK". I'm serious, when you hear this, you will be dumbfounded. It's a HUGE blessing. God bless."
Here's the video description: In the Book of Daniel (Chapter 9 | 24-27) the angel Gabriel gives Daniel a fascinating prophecy of 70 weeks that has left Bible scholars searching endlessly for the correct interpretation. For the first time ever, the prophecy is correctly revealed (explained)!
The information in this video has NEVER been known before. If you listen to this entire video, you will know the ABSOLUTE TRUTH of the angel Gabriel's prophecy to Daniel.
Let me start this video review by saying that I appreciate that Gabriel Ansley Erb teaches that Daniel 9:27 is pointing to Messiah confirming the everlasting covenant, to fulfill the six items in Daniel 9:24, to atone for our sins.
And I appreciate that he sees that it was the Jews abominations which caused punishment to come upon them in 70 AD when Jerusalem, the temple and the Jewish nation were desolated.
But I respectfully disagree with Gabriel Ansley Erb's major point in the explanation.
Gabriel Ansley Erb of 2028 END says that Daniel 9:27 is pointing to Messiah confirming the covenant for seven days.
"And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate."
The word 'for' in Daniel 9:27 was added by the translators. The Young's Literal Translation Bible reads:
"And he hath strengthened a covenant with many–one week, and in the midst of the week he causeth sacrifice and present to cease, and by the wing of abominations he is making desolate, even till the consummation, and that which is determined is poured on the desolate one."
It is not saying that Messiah would confirm the covenant for seven days or seven years. It's saying that in the seven years of the 70th week, Messiah would confirm the covenant.
And then it tells us when, in the middle of the seven years, as His sacrificial death caused the need for temple animal sacrifices to cease.
Messiah carried out His multiyear ministry in the first half of the seven years.
Then Messiah died in the middle of the seven years, exactly on time according to the prophecy.
During the latter 3 1/2 years of the 70th week, Messiah's disciples preached the Gospel to the Jews for forgiveness of sins. Many believed in Messiah; 3,000 on the day of Pentecost and more were added daily.
At the end of the seven years of the 70th week, Stephen held the Jewish leaders to account for rejecting their promised Messiah and delivering Him up to be killed.
After Stephen was stoned to death by the wicked Jewish leaders, the narrative of Acts suddenly changes as the Gospel was also proclaimed to the Gentiles. This marks the end of the seven years of the 70th week of Daniel.
By this we see the fulfillment of the 70th week of Daniel 9 prophecy during the seven years.
Gabriel Ansley Erb of 2028 END says that the 'one week' in Daniel 9:27 points to seven days in a week and that Messiah died in the middle of the week, on Wednesday.
This is a flawed explanation for many reasons.
First of all, there was no such thing as a Sunday-Saturday seven-day week when Messiah died, as the Romans observed an eight-day calendar and the days were named after the first eight letters of their alphabet.
It was not until later in the first century that the Romans also started using a seven-day week, but Saturday was the first day and Sunday the second, so Wednesday would have been the fifth day.
It wasn't until the fourth century that the seven-day calendar became the official pattern in the Roman Empire, as they also used the eight-day week up until this point. It was changed by Constantine, who made Sunday the first day and Saturday the seventh day.
So it's not valid to proclaim that Messiah died on Wednesday of the pagan Roman calendar.
Secondly, it's flawed because Messiah died on Passover, the 14th day of the Scriptural month; was in the grave on the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the 15th day of the Scriptural month, which was a Sabbath; and He rose again on the third day, on the Feast of First Fruits, the 16th day of the Scriptural month.
Messiah said that He would rise on the third day, not the fourth day, as Gabriel shows on his chart.
And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again. Matthew 20:19
For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise the third day. Mark 9:31
And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day. Luke 24:46
And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures. 1 Corinthians 15:4
Thirdly, and most importantly, it's wrong because the one week in Daniel 9:27 is pointing Messiah confirming the covenant in the remaining seven years of the 490-year prophecy.
The previous verses say 'weeks' because they're pointing to periods of seven weeks and sixty-two weeks, which were fulfilled in 49 years and 434 years respectively, for a total of 483 years. Daniel 9:27 says 'week' because it's pointing to a single week of seven years.
It's illogical to say that the previous seven week and sixty-two week periods are pointing to weeks of years, seven years each; but that the last week in Daniel 9:27 is pointing to Messiah confirming the covenant in seven days.
It's a 490-year prophecy, so it's apparent that the one week of Daniel 9:27 is pointing to seven years. A 70-week prophecy is fulfilled in 70 consecutive weeks.
Gabriel Ansley Erb of 2028 END says that the angel Gabriel did not foretell when Messiah would die.
This is not true, as we can see when the command was given to start the prophecy, so we know when the 70th week took place.
It's clear that the angel Gabriel was telling Daniel that Messiah the Prince would die in the middle of the seven years, the only week remaining in the prophecy, as His death ended the need for temple animal sacrifices.
Messiah died 3 1/2 years after the 70th week of Daniel 9 began, which is what the angel Gabriel declared.
This is a clear proof of the authority of Scripture and the deity of Messiah, as it was fulfilled in exacting detail.
Gabriel Ansley Erb of 2028 END says that the 70th week began in 25 AD and that Messiah died in 28 AD.
Interestingly, his explanation that the 70th week of Daniel took place from 25-32 AD, and that Messiah died in 28 AD, places Messiah's death in the middle of the seven years of the 70th week. By that we see that the prophecy is pointing to Messiah dying in the middle of seven years of the 70th week, not seven days of a week.
Gabriel Ansley Erb's calculations are invalid for several reasons.
First of all, 483 years (69 weeks x 7) after his proclaimed 458 BC starting year, would result in the 70th week taking place from 26-33 AD, as there is no year zero, so you have to add one year to the calculation.
Secondly, most Bible scholars place Messiah's death in years 30 or 31 AD. We see variances of explanations as the Scriptural year starts in the spring, not on January 1st of the pagan Roman calendar, so they're out of sync.
Thirdly, most historicists point to 457 BC as the starting year of the command, which projects the 70th week as taking place between 27-34 AD. Messiah dying in the year 31 AD, places His death in the middle of the seven years of the 70th week of Daniel.
By this we see that Gabriel Ansley Erb's calculations are off-target, so his declaration that Messiah will return 2000 years later in 2028 AD is also misguided.
At the end of the video, Gabriel Ansley Erb of 2028 END says that 'we're in the first years of the final seven years right now.' Based on that, he proclaims that Messiah will return in 2028.
The concept of an end-times seven-year period is based on a future fulfillment of the 70th week of Daniel, so his saying that we're in the final seven years doesn't make sense.
The concept of a 7-year tribulation period is based on Daniel 9:27. Gabriel Ansley Erb teaches that Daniel 9:27 was fulfilled by Messiah coming to confirm the everlasting covenant; and then Gabriel points to an end-times 7-year period, a future 70th week of Daniel. That's illogical!
The 70th week of Daniel 9 prophecy was fulfilled completely after the 69th week. There won't be a future 70th week of Daniel 9. A future 7-year tribulation period is not Scriptural, so his countdown to the year 2028 is misguided.
I pray that Gabriel Ansley Erb will learn the whole truth about the fulfillment of the 70th week of Daniel 9, as he understands some of the fundamentals of the prophecy.
I wrote The 70th Week Of Daniel 9 Decoded book to prove out the glorious fulfillment by Messiah, and expose the deception of the enemy.
It's the one Bible prophecy that pointed to the exact time when Messiah would carry out His ministry and die for our sins, which is why the enemy seeks to hide the truth.
When you understand that the 70th week of Daniel 9 foretold the exact time that Messiah would carry out His ministry and die for our sins; then you know that it's not about the antichrist.
Regarding the 'covenant' of Daniel 9:27, it's the same covenant that Daniel just mentioned in Daniel 9:4, which already existed. It is the everlasting covenant that was made to Abraham, which Messiah came to 'confirm' with His blood as the Passover Lamb, which paid the price for our sins and ended the need for temple animal sacrifices.
We'll all stand before our Righteous Judge to account for what we believe and teach about the most important prophecy in the Bible. I pray that you will read the explanations in this book about the 70th week of Daniel, compare it to Scripture, and discern it for yourself.

We all are living in the world of fashion and trends. It is completely specified that more good you look be happier you feel. There is no doubt that the fashion industry of the world is living a golden period at present time. Everyone wants to wear attractive clothes which directly create a magical aura of their personality.
The perfect dressing sense matters the most despite the fact that the clothing style varies from culture to culture. Today we are going to talk about the dressing style of Islamic tradition. The most popular clothing pattern is the Abaya. All the Muslim females are completely familiar with this name. Abaya is the variant form of burkha.
This is the first and foremost benefit of wearing the Abaya that it provides immense comfort for the wearer. As it is loosely fitted in nature. So, it doesn't clinch your body with the thread of those usual clothes. Comfort is a big yes when it comes to the clothing style because it also establishes the personification free spirit of your personality. Abaya usually comes under the use in the form of an overcoat style. It covers the appearance of the salwar kurta or long dresses.
This is the best part about wearing the Abaya that it takes into account the traditional touch of the religion of Islam. The Islamic tradition is of the view that the body of the female must remain wholly covered from the point of view of protection from the eyes of other men or from the dust and pollution. Abaya came into trend from the countryside of Saudi Arabia, later slowly got spread all over the world. It is usually black in colour because the black colour is more anti transparent in comparison to any other colours. But with the passage of time the market is largely witnessing the existence of blue, red, maroon, grey and brown Abaya. This is the prominent benefit related with Aba as it adds to the follow up of the Islamic culture.
The Abaya maintains the uniqueness of the dressing style. To stay out of the league of all supposed to be the basic characteristic of fashion. The Abaya is setting the new trend of an appealing dressing style. It also provides the cherishing look to the wearer.
The above mentioned are the prominent benefits related to wearing the Abaya dress. You can also prefer abaya maxi dress online shopping.

Elves beyond the shelves
by Josh Gaby, Walgreens News
The most powerful holiday magic at Walgreens comes from team members like Sheila Teague who embody the spirit of giving back.
Let's talk turkey.
Make that turkeys. Fifty of them.
A few days before Thanksgiving, while you might have been prepping for travel or planning a dish for your family feast, Sheila Teague and a small group of helpers were popping open their car trunks in Harvey, Ill., a working-class suburb just south of Chicago. It's not easy for a lot of folks in Harvey. More than a third of the city is at or below the poverty line. Unemployment is high. So is crime.
"In some areas, you may go one block, and out of 20 houses, 15 could be abandoned, boarded up," says Teague, a Chicago minister and Walgreens cashier in southwest suburban Oak Lawn, Ill. "And some of the people are really in need. So when I first saw the condition of the area, it really touched me and I felt I had to do something."
"Something" started last year with smaller trips to Harvey, where Teague and other volunteers handed out home-cooked food, hats, gloves and socks to anyone who might need them.
This last time, for Thanksgiving, it was 50 frozen turkeys – surprise gestures of love from strangers. The turkeys were gone in 45 minutes.
For two specially chosen families, Teague went even further: supplies for an entire Thanksgiving meal – not just the turkey but everything else. One woman had recently lost her sister and daughter in separate tragedies within a week and now had eight kids to feed – three of her own, plus her sister's five. Teague made sure they got the biggest bird.
She had ordered and purchased all the food from a local grocer, using the connections of a Walgreens co-worker, Antonio Reyna, to arrange a good deal. The money came from church members and sponsors and, as usual, from her own pocket. It's not new – her intense devotion to helping. Fellow Walgreens team members, including store manager Shawn Greenan, are some of Teague's most frequent contributors whenever she's planning a new project – and there's always a new project.
"I know my manager gets tired of me asking for donations," she says, laughing, half-addressing Greenan, who's within earshot. "But it's for a good cause."
As you might imagine, Greenan isn't tired of it at all.
"It's inspiring," he says later. "Sheila brings an energy that's contagious and super-important for our whole team."
From school supplies to stomachs
Teague's focus now is on collecting toys – both in support of her district's toy drive for the local Ronald McDonald House and for a personal return trip to Harvey later this month. Her goal was initially 100 toys for Harvey, but with enough people chipping in, she thinks she might be able to hand out 300. Two days in, she'd already purchased 69 toys, taking advantage of Walgreens sales around Black Friday to maximize her shopping dollars. She likes to do the shopping at Walgreens whenever possible, supporting her own store. It's just the right thing to do.
There's a lot of that with Teague – and certainly not just during the holidays. In 2017, she led a fundraising effort to buy and fill 30 backpacks with school supplies, which Walgreens gave to children in need at a local health fair. Leftover candy after Halloween – which Walgreens stores often donate – has made its way to local senior programs thanks to Teague's connections. Before Mother's Day, she randomly selected five young men in her community, giving them bags filled with bath and body products so they'd have something special to give their moms.
And then there's the food. Once a month from March to November, Teague and her family – brothers Victor and Darrell, daughter Cianna and granddaughter Crystal – fire up two grills and prepare enough hot, homemade food to pass out to 100 people in an underserved area on Chicago's South Side. They pay for most of it themselves, with donations from sponsors and Teague's Walgreens co-workers.
"A lot of times, we'll take up a collection within the store, donating canned goods when she's making these meals," says Greenan. "The neighborhoods where she does this are neighborhoods that people don't always go into, and she not only involves her whole family, but has had team members come out to help her, to go with her to give out the meals."
'She inspires everyone'
Teague, whose competitive streak is known across her district, brings the same all-for-one team mentality to Walgreens fundraising efforts in-store.
"Whether it's a company-wide campaign like Red Nose Day or ME to WE, or supporting a local organization like Turning Pointe Autism Foundation, Sheila involves and inspires the entire store team, from pharmacists to overnight cashiers, to help the store's goal to be No. 1," says Stephen Peterson, the area director of retail and pharmacy operations for Walgreens. "She truly inspires everyone to be a better version of themselves."
And that includes her customers at the holidays, as the first smiling face they see when they come through the door. "I love being there to be nice and friendly," she says. "You never know what people are going through."
Greenan would expect nothing less from a top-shelf elf.
"Sheila," he says, "can't help herself but to do good."
Right here for your holiday right-nows
Holidays at Walgreens: Get in. Get Out. Get Jolly.
