"Ladies and gentlemen, you can see there isn't anything up my sleeve."1 Erich
Weiss states at the beginning of the book. Even as a child Erich Weiss, a.k.a. Harry
Houdini, knows that his goal in life is to become a world famous illusionist. It was
difficult for Erich's family being pilgrims from Europe. His father worked hard, but being from Germany and not knowing English made it difficult. "Promise me you will always look after your mother and see to it that she is never in want."2 Erich promises his father that he will look after his mother and other brothers. At the age of thirteen he decides to leave and join the circus. He journeys to Texas performing small, road-side shows on the way, but only gets half-way when he turns around. Erich realizes it's not his time.
At the age of fifteen he moves with his family to New York. That is when he
acquires his name, Harry Houdini. He dubs himself Houdini after the famous French
magician Robert Houdin. In one of his small shows in New York he spills acid on the
audience member's dress. Little did he know how much that would change his life. He
offer to have his mother make a new dress for Miss Beatrice "Bess" Rahner. It was love
at first sight. He and Bess are married at Coney Island the day he gives her the new dress.
Often when I here of Houdini I think, and even have been told, that he died in an
escape accident. That is not only untrue it is nowhere near his true means of death.
During a performance one night he broke an ankle. That is when it all started. He began
feeling worse everyday. He had stomach pains. He waited to late. He had a ruptured
appendix and gangrene had set in. The doctors told him that he would not survive more
that twelve hours. However he fought for seven days. He died at the age of fifty-two on
October 31, 1926, Halloween.
This book was like a time machine in that it let me see into the past. I not only got
to live along with Mr. Harry Houdini, I got to visit the places he did through the words of Lace Kendall. The place I enjoyed most was New York City.
Noi the Albino too explores humor with undertones of tragedy in this quintessentially existentialist film that features a bereaved, disconnected protagonist. But, the universe offers Noi the opportunity to run away and never look back at the town that only offers him entrapment; the town that he has such a perturbed relationship with, that once held him back, and arguably ruined his life.

In the case of Mr. B’s, an investigation into the events surrounding to and leading up to his untimely death would be required. Once the problem has been identified and described, data of events are collected and formatted into a timeline. From the events, any problems in the care of the patient which may have contributed to the end result are identified and determined whether they are causative. In appendix A, the timeline of the event is outlined.
There were many parts of the book that had me hooked; I couldn’t stop reading no matter what was going on.

This paper will reflect on the different uses of Project Risk Management and ways in which it can benefit organizations to have the ability to identify potential problems prior to the problem occurring. Risk, this is not something to be taken lightly whilst dealing with matters that include high end projects meeting specific details, deadlines and expectations for the end client. Project risk management teaches one to be aggressive early on in the phases of planning and implementing the tools for a project. This is usually easier as costs are less and the turnaround time to solve the issues at that present moment is beneficial rather than later. The result in a successful project for one’s self and other key people involved in the process is also another requirement. Stakeholder satisfaction is important because the
Risk Management is the process of identifying, analyzing and responding to risk factors throughout the life of a project and in the best interests of its objectives (Stanleigh, 2015). This paper is focused on the trends and methods of managing risks in a project. It also analyzes different ways of mitigating risks in a project and why risk management is important in an information technology (IT) environment.
Here we will discuss risk management in the construction sector and in execution of construction project, project risk management is one of the most critical phase for successful completion of the construction project. Risk can be both negative and positive for the project. Negative risks are considered as threats and positive risks are taken as opportunities.
Risk Management allows us to identify the problems which are unknown during the start of the project but may occurs later. Implementing an efficient risk management plan will ensure the better outcome of the project in terms of cost and time.
