Spring 8
I would ask parents and carers to talk to the school if you are concerned about something at school. I always believe that it is best to talk about these concerns at an early stage so that they can be resolved. There are several ways to get in touch. You can send an email, telephone the office or call into school. Most concerns can be resolved by your child's class teacher and therefore should be raised with them in the first instance. Assistant Head teachers, Mrs Hetherington (Infants) or Mrs Barton (Juniors), or Mr Morrissey, the Head teacher are happy to help if the concern cannot be resolved. Rosemary Chapman, our Family Support Worker can also offer help about parenting related concerns.
Whilst we strive to provide an outstanding education for all the children we do have procedures in place in case there are complaints by parents or carers. These obligations date from 1 st September 2003 under section 29 of the Education Act 2002, which requires all schools to have in place a procedure to deal with complaints relating to their school and to any community facilities or services that the school provides. A copy of the complaints procedure is available on our school website. A copy is also available upon request from the school office.
Respect - In my assemblies this week I have spoken to the children about respect. I have emphasised the importance of speaking to others, especially adults, respectfully at all times. I reminded the children that however upset or angry they may feel this is not an excuse to be rude to others. I hope this is something parents and carers can support the school with.
Thrilling Football - Well done to the football team who drew 2:2 in a thrilling match against Cawston during the week. The team played really well and were a credit to the school. A big thank you to Mr Sutcliffe for giving of his time to prepare and organise the team. The team have another match this Monday, 14th March (at school) against Bilton Junior School.
School surveys - It is really useful to hear parent/carer views on school matters. Such feedback helps us in our work to continually improve the education and outcomes for children at the school. We have two current surveys in the surveys section of our school app.
School dates - A reminder that the school will close next Friday, 18th March 2016 (at the usual time) for the Easter holidays. School will reopen on Monday, 4th April 2016 (at the usual time). Please note that the school will also be closed on 27th May 2016 for teacher training. The school will not be closed for polling on May 5th or June 23rd 2016. Thank you.
Non Uniform - Next Thursday, 17th March 2016 is a non uniform day. Children are asked to bring in a chocolate egg for the FOLLs Easter Bingo, which is on later that day.
STARS OF THE WEEK
Star workers - Layla Mason, Romeo Szczepanczyk, Ugochi Anozie, Skyla Coulson, Jake Furniss, Maisie Walters, Bestly Azogu, Evie Wilson, Chimdalu Anozie, Dylan Duffy, Leo Daniels, Emma Greer, Agata Borowiec, Toby Burwell, Khiye Noor, William Higham, Sobigan Ramasethu.

Abstract:
Gerald R. Ford (1913-2006) was the 38th President of the United States. A former resident of Grand Rapids and East Grand Rapids, Michigan, Ford served as a member of the House of Representatives for the 5th District of Michigan from 1949 to 1973. This collection contains reference material for general use related to Ford. Included are letters, photographs, speeches and memorabilia. The library does not widely collect original Gerald R. Ford documents, as these are primarily held by other institutions, such as the Ford Museum, the Gerald R. Ford Library at the University of Michigan or the Library of Congress and the National Archives.
Biographical / Historical
Born Leslie Lynch King, Jr., Ford was renamed for his stepfather after the remarriage of his mother, Dorothy Ayer Gardner, to Gerald R. Ford, Sr., a businessman from Grand Rapids. Gerald R. Ford, Jr. noted his step father as a guiding influence in his life.
Gerald R. Ford (July 14, 1913 to Dec. 26, 2006), 38th President of the United States from Aug. 9, 1974 to Jan. 20, 1977, was a former resident of Grand Rapids and East Grand Rapids, Michigan. Ford served as a member of the House of Representatives for the 5th District of Michigan from 1949 to 1973, participating on numerous committees and obtaining the position of Minority Leader of the House. Perhaps Grand Rapids most famous former resident, his life and history is well documented in resources found in many libraries and archives throughout the country.
Fortieth Vice President (1973-1974), Thirty Eighth President (1974-1977)
The only Vice President or President of the United States to serve without being elected, he occupied the Vice Presidency after Spiro Agnew left office and the Presidency after Richard Nixon left office, both under troubling circumstances. It is generally considered that Ford lost his own bid for the Presidency during the 1976 election largely due to his pardoning of Nixon following on the Watergate scandal.
^
Included in Ford's many projects in support of Grand Rapids was his key role in the Vanderberg Center Sculpture Project. This started with a handwritten letter to Ford from Nancy Mulnix (See Coll. 001), and resulted in the placement of the Alexander Calder monumental sculpture, La Grande Vitesse, in downtown Grand Rapids. Ford assisted in getting National Endowment for the Arts funding for this project for Grand Rapids, the first such use of these funds for a public sculpture project. Ford had originally been politically opposed to the creation of the Endowment. Later, returning to Grand Rapids as President, Ford was presented with a replica of La Grande Vitesse by then Mayor Lyman Parks. The image of Ford with this miniature was captured by the national news, a symbol of Grand Rapids and Ford's support for Grand Rapids. (See Pictorial History of Grand Rapids, pg. 62) The Gerald R. Ford International Airport in Grand Rapids was named for Ford in December 1999.
Return to Table of Contents
Scope and Contents
The focus of the collecting of Gerald R. Ford related materials at the Grand Rapids Public Library is to provide information on his life here in Grand Rapids and to provide basic access to general historical information on Ford to our public library users. Thus, items in this collection, as well as other materials, such as the South High school yearbook during Ford's attendance there, are valued for the Ford association. Also, several books and periodicals in the Grand Rapids History & Special Collections department, as well as the library's circulating collections, document Ford's life.
^
As a U.S. President, Gerald R. Ford is well documented in libraries and museums throughout the country. In particular, in Grand Rapids the Ford Museum provides access to information on Ford's life and presidency. Other libraries which provide in-depth information on Ford are the Gerald R. Ford Library at the University of Michigan and the Library of Congress.
This small collection collocates various small accessions of Ford related materials, which have been mostly been solicited to provide basic historical information on Ford, and his relationship to Grand Rapids. Several of these items have come from the Ford Museum.

Basic Coastal Engineering -
Robert Sorensen 2013-03-14 In the 20 years since publication of the first edition of this book there have been a number of significant changes in the practice of coastal engineering. This new edition has been completely rewritten to reflect these changes as well as to make other improvements to the material presented in the original text. _ Basic Coastal
Engineering is an introductory text on wave mechanics and coastal processes along with the fundamentals of the practice of coa~tal engi neering. This book was written for a senior or first postgraduate course in coastal engineering. It is also suitable for self study by anyone having a basic engineering or physical science background. The level of coverage does not require a math or fluid mechanics background beyond that presented in a typical undergraduate civil or mechanical engineering curriculum. The material presented in this text is based on the author's lecture notes from a one-semester course at Virginia Pol ytechnic Institute, Texas A&M University, and George Washington University, and a senior elective course at Lehigh University. The text contains examples to demonstrate the various analysis techniques that are presented and each chapter (except the first and last) has a collection of problems for the
reader to solve that further demonstrate and expand upon the text material. Chapter 1 briefly describes the coastal environment and introduces the rela tively new field of coastal engineering. The Kansas Engineer - 1920

III. NON-CLINICAL ASPECTS
III.1 Introduction
This application for a marketing authorisation was submitted in accordance with Article 10a of Directive 2001/83/EC as amended, a well-established use application. Chlorhexidine and lidocaine have well-established use within the European Union for more than ten years, demonstrating a recognised efficacy and safety profile. A non-clinical overview has been provided, it is based on relevant published literature and written by an appropriately qualified person. Overview based on literature review is, thus, appropriate. A brief summary of the literature submitted is provided below:
III.2 Pharmacology
Chlorhexidine
Chlorhexidine is a commonly used disinfectant and topical antiseptic agent. In vitro tests confirmed the value of chlorhexidine in the treatment of upper respiratory tract infections such as sore throat. It has bactericidal activity on bacteria considered to be pathogenic in the upper respiratory tract.
Chlorhexidine shows also some antiviral activity in relation to the influenza A virus (H1N1).
Lidocaine
Lidocaine hydrochloride is a local anaesthetic of the amide type. Lidocaine i.v. is used as an antiarrhythmic. Lidocaine, like other local anaesthetics, blocks conduction of nerve endings impulses in a reversible way by interfering with processes fundamental to generation of nerve action potential, namely, large transient increase in permeability of membrane to sodium ions that is produced by slight depolarisation of membrane
III.3 Pharmacokinetics
Chlorhexidine
Chlorhexidine is virtually not absorbed when administered topically. Minute amounts are detected in the urine of laboratory animals. LD50 varies from 21 mg/kg (rat i.v.) to 5000 mg/kg (rat oral). Subchronic toxicity showed minimal dermal irritation (erythema, oedema, desquamation and/or fissuring) at the lowest dose tested.
Lidocaine
From observations in rabbits administered lidocaine HCl i.v. and portally, a first pass hepatic elimination of approximately 30% could be calculated. The fraction of rectal venous drainage bypassing the portal circulation and thus hepatic metabolism is about 40%. In the rabbit, the hepatic first pass effect for lidocaine can be avoided by administering the compound via the rectum. Intrinsic clearance of lidocaine was consistently reduced in the dog after repeated administration.
III.4 Toxicology
Chlorhexidine
No observable malformations or developmental toxicity were found at any dose level tested. Mutagenic effects were not observed in two mammalian in vivo mutagenesis studies evaluating chlorhexidine gluconate. No carcinogenicity has been reported with chlorhexidine during long-term toxicity studies in rats.
Lidocaine
LD50 varies from 19.5 mg/kg (mouse i.v.) to 317 mg/kg (rat oral). Lidocaine showed neurotoxicity to sensory neurons, resulting from a direct action on sensory neurons, and that a lidocaine-induced increase in intracellular

ABSTRACT
The study was designed to determine the effect of Vitamin E (α-tocopherol) supplimentation into BIOXcell TM and Tris based egg yolk extender on post-thawed quality of Tharparkar cattle bull semen. The research was carried out at Department of Animal Reproduction, Faculty of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Sciences, Sindh Agricultural University Tandojam. In this study four fertile Tharparkar bulls (A, B, C and D) having age of 4-5 years were used. A total of 52 (n=13) ejaculates were collected with the help of artificial vagina, after the collection macroscopic (color, volume and pH) and microscopic (motility, morphology, viability, concentration and membrane integrity) parameters were observed. The samples having motility, morphology, viability and membrane integrity ≥70% were pooled and processed. Pooled semen samples were divided into four groups and diluted with Tris, Tris+Vitamin E(α-tocopherol) and BIOXcell TM , BIOXcell TM +Vitamin E (α-tocopherol). Post-thawed assessment of motility, morphology, viability and membrane integrity with BIOXcell TM + Vitamin E(α-tocopherol) (58.31±0.86, 76.22±1.04, 71.27±1.44, 64.68±1.43) showed improved quality parameters as compared to Tris+ Vitamin E(αTocopherol) (48.68±0.68, 64.45±1.54, 66.22±1.75, 58.25±1.08), BIOXcell TM (45.72±0.53, 67.45±0.84, 64.72±1.67, 56.63±1.39) and Tris (43.54±0.49, 64.68±0.80, 65.18±1.33, 54.41±1.36). On the basis of in vitro results BIOXcell TM +Vitamin E(α-tocopherol) showed improved post-thawed quality parameters and it was used for artificial insemination. A total of 20 animals were synchronized at Bhens colony; Ghumanrabad with one injection prostaglandin (PGF2α) protocol and 13 animals showed estrus and were inseminated. Meanwhile, 8 were found pregnant through rectal palpation with a pregnancy rate of 61.53%.

INTRODUCTION
Livestock plays a pivotal role in the social and economic development of Pakistan. Livestock is the most important sector of agriculture. It contributes up to 60.1 % in the agricultural value added and about 11.7 % to the gross domestic product (GDP) of Pakistan during 2020-21, Moreover total livestock population in Pakistan
is 213.1 million heads including cattle 51.5 million (GOP, 2020-21). Cattle belong to the family Bovidae. Cattle were originated from Bostaurus or humpless cattle (Europe) and Bosindicus or humped cattle (Indo-Pakistan), The cattle breeds of Pakistan are Red Sindhi, Bhagnari, Sahiwal, Dhanni, Kankrej, Rojhan, Lohani, Cholistani, Dajal and Tharparkar (Farooq et al., 2013).Tharparkar is a lyrehorned breed that originated from the Thar Desert (Chand, 2011; Memon et al., 2022). It is one of the main breeds which is found in the Thar Desert mainly located in the India-Pakistan border,It is considered a dual purpose breed utilized as a draught and milking animal (Godara et al., 2015). Meanwhile, it has been blessed with the capabilities of heat tolerant, tick resistant, disease-resistant and a stable aboriginal indigenous breed.Tharparkar breed is producing approximately 5-10 L of milk per day and round about 1135-2000 L of milk per lactation (Choudhary et al., 2018).
BIOXcell TM is a commercial lecithin based extender. However, it has been used in many studies on exotic breeds but in Tharparkar cattle it's merely not used. Moreover, it has positive effects on the cryopreservation of semen so there was a dire need to study the effect of BIOXcell TM extender in Tharparkar cattle bull semen. BIOXcell TM has merits in case of lower sanitary risks, its chemically defined and ready to use meanwhile its commercially available (Akhter et al., 2010). The process of cryopreservations also leads to various intracellular changes which results in the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that are indirect cause of reduced reproductive capacity, DNA damage, increased membrane permeability. ROS damages plasma membranes and DNA molecules in the
Extenders are used for conservation, preservation and extension of semen. Moreover, extenders are also used to prevent different types of damages while processing, storage and shipping of semen. During the last 40 years, different extenders have been used for the evaluation of spermatozoa during cooling and post-thawing. Egg yolk-based semen diluents are readily used for the cryopreservation of semen (Apu et al., 2012; Emamverdi et al., 2014). Different components are combined for the preparation of semen extenders, such that they own all properties which have capabilities to protect the life of spermatozoa during extension at ambient environment and cryopreservation. It must be isotonic (maintain osmotic pressure) (280-310 mOsm/kg), maintain pH, cold shock defense, act as a source of energy (spermatozoa metabolism), antimicrobial, protect during cooled and post thawing and able to preserve sperm fertility for the long time duration (Raheja et al., 2018). Tris-based egg yolk extender is used for the extension of semen though it is a mixture of a substance having cryoprotectant properties. With long time storage, it shows qualities of a great stabilizing agent with constant results (Apu et al., 2012; Emamverdi et al., 2014).
sperm and other cells. High levels of superoxide ions, peroxynitrates hydrogen peroxide, harm the components of cells such as membrane lipids, organelles, proteins and DNA. To overcome ROS antioxidants are added, Vitamin E is the main antioxidant sited within the biological membranes that perform a key role in defending from lipid peroxidation. α-tocopherol breaks the chain reactions of lipid peroxidation but the mechanism of donation of a hydrogen atom from its phenolic hydroxyl group to lipid peroxyl radical resulting in the creation of stable lipid hydroperoxide and unreactive tocopheroxyl radicals. The antioxidant property of vitamin E can improve the postthawed traits of spermatozoa and could improve male fertility. Vitamin E has the anti

My dear President Judson:-
The whole question of professors' salaries is to be discussed by the Yale Corporation at its next meeting. Our existing salary scale provides for salaries from $4,000 to $5,000 and no professors receive over this, except a few Deans and two men in the Law School. In preparing for next Monday's meeting, I would appreciate it if you could send me information covering the following questions:
1. The number of professors in your university, not including administrative officers, who receive over $5,000 annually.
2. The salaries paid to these professors
3. A statement, so far as you may think it proper to send one to me, regarding the policy of your university in the matter of paying a few men of great distinction very high salaries
Your answers to these questions will be very much appreciated. I am making them as simple as possible, knowing from experience the nuisance of the questionnaire.
Very truly yours,

My dear President Johnson:
The whole question of bonuses, salaries etc. is of growingly vital importance to the University and its next meeting. On existing salary scale bonuses for faculty from $2000 up to $5000 are not possible unless one puts five or six months' work into the law school. In planning for next month's meeting I would emphasize that if you could pass an important resolution covering the following three points:
1. The number of bonuses in your university for faculty should be increased over $2000 annually.
2. The salaries being offered these years are too low to attract good teachers to your university.
3. The number of faculty positions in your university should be increased so that you can get a good teacher to teach every course.
I am sure that the above will be very much appreciated. I am
Yours sincerely,

My dear Mr. Stokes:
Your favor of the 14th inst. is received. Our professors, aside from any salaries which any of them may receive as administrative officers, range in salary from $3,000 up. We have, I believe, twenty-one whose salaries exceed $5,000. The salaries in question are $5,500, $6,000, and in some very few cases, $7,000. We have no objection whatever to paying a few men of great distinction very high salaries. Such cases, however, are regarded as wholly exceptional. By far the greater number of our full professors receive a salary not exceeding $4,500, although a fair number have a $5,000-salary. I may add that in most cases those who have the salaries above $5,000 are heads or chairmen of departments. At the same time the salary is given them not for any administrative duties which they perform but on account of what we regard as their personal eminence professionally.
Very truly yours,

Dear Mr. Merrill:
Thanks for your note enclosing transcript from the "Yale Alumni Weekly." The suggestion of Mr. Vincent is interesting, but in my opinion not at all practicable. We have to take facts as they are - not as we should like to have them. The net result of increasing the scale of compensation for members of the Departments in question, in which I may add my own Department is included, could be only one thing, that is, materially to cut down the scope of the University in order to compensate a portion of the staff at the higher rate. I wish that were not the case, but am very much afraid it is.

My dear President Thwing:
Your note of the 24th inst. is received. By great prudence in the management of our finances we have been able to do something for upwards of a hundred of our faculty for next year. The percentage was not in all cases such as we should have liked, but as you know, while the general costs of things have increased enormously, incomes of college funds have not increased to the same extent. There ought to be a material change in the general scale of salaries. We have not had to do that. Our scale will need very slight modifications, because it is a flexible one. Full Professors, for instance, with us receive salaries ranging from $3,000 to $6,000. It is not, therefore, a question of the scale, but of the application of the scale to individuals.
close, put to the application of the case to individuals
because it is a typical one. But processes for our case will need real effort and enthusiasm, and we have not had to do so before. There ought to be a material change in the same extent. We have not yet had to do the General case to exercise. We have not yet had to do
anomously, income to college funds have not increased or decreased. We have not yet been able to find any case to give us a sense of progress made increasing
how much, while the General case to give us a sense of progress made increasing
a hundred to our twenty for next year. The percentage increase we have seen able to do something for the advance of our recovery. Dr. Gray brings me in the management of our

As I look at it, the present situation as to the prices of the means of livelihood is not temporary. I believe that there is a permanent increase in the scale of prices, not only in this country, but throughout the world. Of course when I say "permanent" I mean one which will last a number of years. The fundamental cause of it, as I look at it - of course there are more causes than one - but the fundamental cause, is the enormous inflation which prevails the world around. This

In the Supreme Court of the United States
JOSEPH A. KENNEDY, Petitioner, v.
BREMERTON SCHOOL DISTRICT
On Writ of Certiorari to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
BRIEF OF PROTECT THE FIRST FOUNDATION AS AMICUS CURIAE SUPPORTING PETITIONER
GENE C. SCHAERR Counsel of Record ERIK S. JAFFE H. CHRISTOPHER BARTOLOMUCCI HANNAH C. SMITH KATHRYN E. TARBERT JOSHUA J. PRINCE SCHAERR|JAFFE LLP 1717 K Street NW, Suite 900 Washington, DC 20006 (202) 787-1060 [email protected]

INTRODUCTION AND INTEREST OF AMICUS 1
Many religious traditions require or encourage adherents to express their commitment to their faith outwardly. Often, that expression manifests through religious clothing—a Muslim might wear a hijab, a Jew a yarmulke, or a Christian a cross. For others, religious belief is expressed through "adhering to shaving or hair length observances," such as "Sikh uncut hair and beard, Rastafarian dreadlocks, or Jewish peyes." 2 And some beliefs, like Petitioner Kennedy's here, "compel" a person to "give thanks [to God] through prayer" at specific times. Pet. Br. 4.
Amicus Protect the First Foundation (PT1) agrees with Kennedy that the First Amendment protects those practices "twice over," both through the Free Exercise Clause and through the Free Speech Clause. Id. at 36. PT1, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that advocates for First Amendment rights in all applicable arenas—including public employment—writes separately to emphasize two additional reasons why the school district's approach to Kennedy's prayer is wrong and should be held unconstitutional. First, contrary to the district's argument below, it is factually wrong—and contrary to common sense—to attribute a public employee's personal expression of individual faith to the government, even if that expression occurs

on the job. Second, the decision below is particularly harmful because it allows public employers to impose a de facto religious test in violation of Article VI's No Religious Test Clause. If left standing, that decision will thus limit public employment to members of favored religions that demand no visible, public displays of faith, while denying employment to those whose exercise of religion needs to be overt and visible to others.
STATEMENT
Petitioner Joseph Kennedy served as a high school football coach for Respondent Bremerton School District until the District suspended him for saying thirty-second prayers on the football field after games. Pet. App. 3-5.
Kennedy is a devout Christian whose religious beliefs compel him to offer prayers of gratitude on the field, immediately after games. Id. at 4. Initially, Kennedy prayed alone; later, team members asked to join him. Id. at 3-4. Although he invited other coaches to join him, Br. in Opp. 7, Kennedy did not compel anyone to pray with him, confirming that the decisions of the students who asked to join him were voluntary. Pet. App. 4. Sometimes, Kennedy gave religious motivational speeches to those who prayed with him. Br. in Opp. 3.
For years, Kennedy prayed without anyone objecting. Pet. App. 5. Indeed, those observing the post-game prayers seemingly did not even know what was being said. Pet. App. 139-140, 182 (explaining that the prayer which led to Kennedy's administrative leave was conducted as he knelt alone).
Things changed about seven years into Kennedy's employment. After learning that Kennedy's postgame meetings were prayers, the district told Kennedy he could only pray on the field if his prayer was not "outwardly discernable" or when no students were around. Br. In Opp. 4; Pet. App. 6. Kennedy ceased giving speeches but continued to kneel and quietly pray after games. Pet. App. 10-11. In response, the district placed him on leave. Br. in Opp. 10.
SUMMARY OF ARGUMENT
I. The district's approach to Kennedy's on-field prayer ignores the reality that ours is a nation of religious pluralism. And the inevitable result of that pluralism is that people of different faiths exercise their religion in myriad ways.
One common way that people of faith express their religious conviction is through expressing it outwardly. Many show their beliefs by wearing religious garments or by making visible grooming choices, such as by growing out their hair. Others do so by praying. No matter how a person's religion instructs her to worship, the resulting religious expression constitutes a personal exercise of religion reflecting a deeply felt obligation of faith.
Such religious expression, moreover, does not suddenly become government speech just because it occurs at a place of public employment. A Jewish person who teaches public school students while wearing a yarmulke is doing nothing different in kind than a teacher or a coach privately praying in the view of his students or others. Both religious activities are visible. Both send a message of personal faith. And both are attributable only to the person participating, not to his employer. Put differently, as Kennedy emphasizes, "schools do not endorse everything they fail to censor." Bd. of Educ. of Westside Cmty. Sch. v. Mergens ex rel. Mergens, 496 U.S. 226, 250 (1990) (plurality op.).
II. A decision attributing an employee's private religious expression to that person's public employer, and thereby making it subject to prohibition, is not only factually specious, but also constitutionally impermissible because it imposes a forbidden religious test for public service. And, unlike the difficult questions this Court will be forced to answer under the Free Speech and Free Exercise Clauses because of the malleable tiers of scrutiny that this Court employs in those contexts, the application of the No Religious Test Clause is straightforward: Its clear text directly addresses and prohibits the condition on government employment that, if affirmed, the decision below would allow.
Governments, of course, are not able to do indirectly what they cannot do directly. And, just as a government is forbidden from "forc[ing] a person to profess a belief or disbelief in any religion," Torcaso v. Watkins, 367 U.S. 488, 495 (1961) (cleaned up), it is also forbidden, absent some showing of concrete harm, from punishing individuals for religiously required speech once they have accepted employment.
ARGUMENT
I. Many People Exercise their Religion Through Outward Expressions of Faith that Cannot Fairly Be Attributed to their Employers.
Proper analysis of the issues in this case must begin with a recognition that the United States is "a cosmopolitan nation made up of people of almost every conceivable religious preference." Braunfeld v. Brown, 366 U.S. 599, 606 (1961). And, unsurprisingly, people belonging to that "enormous variety of religions" express and exercise their religious beliefs in many ways. Edwards v. Aguillard, 482 U.S. 578, 607 n.6 (1987) (Powell, J., concurring). Some engage in daily outward expressions of faith that are visible to others and may occur at home, at work, at their religious institutions, and even on government property. But individualized expressions of faith that no one is compelled to join should be treated as private expressions attributable to the individual alone.
1. The practices of even a small sample of faiths confirm how varied outward religious expression can be.
Islam, for example, prescribes a wide variety of physical expressions of faith. In EEOC v. Abercrombie & Fitch Stores, Inc, this Court considered the Islamic requirement that women wear a headscarf. 575 U.S. 768, 770 (2015). And many Muslim me

ABSTRACT
Public transit in America in recent years is potentially vulnerable to terrorist or mass casualty attacks. These vulnerabilities are in part due to the lack of strict screening and content policing, unlike security at airports, but also their attractiveness as a potentially high-value target. Although current public transit systems are designed to efficiently allow passengers to quickly travel, screening of individual riders for weapons remains limited due to current technology limitations and high peak throughput requirements. This paper aims to develop an understanding of the current state of security check systems as applicable to high-traffic subway stations. We also worked towards creating a proof-of-concept risk analysis model using crime and other types of publicly available data for the New York City and New Jersey transit regions.
Keywords: Active security, passive security, risk analysis model, public transit, antiterrorism, patron screening, public safety
1. INTRODUCTION
Public transit is an important method of transportation for millions of Americans, especially in densely populated areas. Public transit offers Americans an attractive travel option when using a car is not an option, or otherwise infeasible due to congestion or parking considerations. In places like New York City, public transit is often the most efficient way to travel. New York City alone has over 5.5 million weekday riders and over 178,000 passengers who travel through its Times Square station each day [1]. Since public transit is in high demand and used in many cities and densely populated areas of the country, the US government has designed public transit stations, whether it is trains, subways, or buses, with a focus on accessibility and handling large throughput. As airport-level security measures are not deployed due to infrastructure limitations and high throughput requirements, making public transit potentially vulnerable to mass casualty attacks. In particular there have been at least 29 successful terrorist attacks on rail transit, causing the loss of life of 1,418 people and 6,135 injuries between 2000 and 2017 [2].
How can we improve current public transit security measures without decreasing the throughput of passengers? A potential partial solution would be fully utilizing passive security measures; however, this has privacy and deployment challenges. Before diving into a proposed solution, it is necessary to understand the complex levels of security and surveillance checks utilized at both airports and public transit.
2. PROPOSED APPROACH
Our project reviewed existing technologies to understand the feasibility of deploying them in a mass transit setting, along with reviewing pilot deployments in the literature. We also identified existing publicly available datasets that may be useful in gathering information about past security incidents on public transit, and data that would be helpful to create a crime/terrorism risk map or model. We visualized these datasets for New York City and New Jersey to gain insights in order to recommend future work. All of this has the goal to prevent large-scale attacks on public transit in the New Jersey and New York City metro areas.
Our original approach only focused on the New York City subway stations. However, through the duration of the initial literature and technology reviews, it was evident it would be beneficial to work with more than subway station security and expand to New Jersey public transit and commuter rail transit as well. Supporting this approach is a 2017 Regional Plan Association study that
found that out of the 1.6 million people who commute to the city on a daily basis, 320,000 of them are from New Jersey [18]. Adding New Jersey to this project helps us get more insight into how the public transit system is being used and by whom.
The project's methodology involved five main steps. The first step was a literature review on the different types of surveillance and security measures around the world in airports and public transit. Next, the technology review allowed for the needed exposure and research for new and emerging technologies for screening individuals in public locations and the feasibility of their use in public transit stations. The dataset review included crime, census, transportation, and other datasets that are made publicly available in New York City and New Jersey. After this, data analysis and visualization were performed using modeling tools in FME, ArcGIS, Tableau, and Python APIs to discover trends and patterns in the data. The final step, recommended for future work, is the creation of the risk analysis model. The risk analysis model is a predictive model based on the given inputs, and crime data of New York City.
3. LITERATURE REVIEW
Security check systems consist of many layers of surveillance, scanning technology, and physical screening. In the traditional airport or venue screening, these layers can include a visual inspection by law enforcement, K9 units, ticketing, bag checks via x-ray and visual inspections, walk-through metal detectors, and handheld wands. In the United States and Europe, multilayer screening systems are utilized at metro stations, but typically without in-depth patron and bag screening procedures. Instead, safety is approached through a combination of show-of-force, ticketing, CCTV cameras, preemptive surveillance, and more. An example of successful American anti-terrorism surveillance can be found in the foiled 2009 NYC bombing attempt by Najibullah Zazi and Al-Qaeda [3].
In heavily crowded public environments, there may be many complex layers of security measures. Figure 1 contains an illustrative example of some of the possible security measures for public transit. Some of the layers of security shown are deterrence, visual inspection, K-9 inspection, and reinforcements within the subway. The first level of deterrence is the act of discouraging an action or event by creating doubt or fear of the consequences [22] and is done immediately before patrons enter the subway. Having street-level policing outside of subways with surveillance cameras and constant updates on social media about many possible threats around the outside of subway perimeters makes it much more difficult for terrorist groups or individuals to fulfill a potential attack. A second layer is the turnstiles upon entering the subway — this is where the passengers’ tickets and as well as bag screening can be done. A third layer occurs as patrons enter the subway platform where there should be active police and K9 presence, and random screening. The fourth layer would be once passengers are in the subway cars where there would be an expectation from passengers to reach out to law enforcement if they see anything suspicious. These many layers to enter a subway station makes it difficult for terrorists and individuals with malicious intent to smuggle dangerous items in or to carry out an attack. Upon entering the station there are active policing and K-9 units by all the entrances and exits. Adding all these complex areas of patrolling, screening, and surveillance makes the station less desirable to execute a mass casualty attack despite them being a high-value target. Overall the combination of constant surveillance, policing/law enforcement presence, and active attendance at the station platform and on the subways/trains could make public transit less of the desired place to attempt a mass-casualty attack.

Incredibuilds Star Wars Millennium Falcon Deluxe Book And Model Set
Celebrated paper artist and designer Marc Hagan-Guirey has applied his genius to the Star Wars galaxy in this book of 15 unique kirigami (cut-and-fold) ships featured in the saga's films. Ranging in difficulty from beginner to expert, each beautifully detailed model features step-by-step instructions and a template printed on cardstock̶all that's needed are a utility knife, a cutting mat, and a ruler. Clear tips and guidance through the tricky stages help readers craft their own X-wing, Imperial Star Destroyer, Millennium Falcon, and a dozen more ships and vehicles, each accompanied by colorful and inspiring photographs of the final model on display (or ready for a jump to Hyperspace).
After the Clone Wars, the Galactic Empire spared no expense to build a massive fleet of warships to enforce Imperial rule, intimidate defenseless worlds, and destroy all opposition. However, the Imperial Navy underestimated Rebel Alliance fighter pilots, who flew X-wing, Y-wing, A-wing, U-wing and B-wing starfighters, and whatever else they could obtain to fight their Imperial enemies. Decades later, Resistance pilots would fly next-generation versions of Rebel starfighters against the First Order. The Rebel Starfighters Owners' Workshop Manual presents a thorough history of the starfighters that served the Rebel Alliance and the Resistance. The history includes design origins, production, and modifications for each Rebel starfighter, and is fully illustrated with numerous photographs, schematics, exploded diagrams, and computer-generated artwork by Star Wars vehicle experts Chris Reiff and Chris Trevas. Text is by Ryder Windham, author and co-author of more than 70 Star Wars books. This Haynes Manual is the most thorough technical guide to Rebel starfighters available, and is fully authorized and approved by Lucasfilm.
Presents a complete guide to drawing a number of Star Wars characters; and contains trace overlays, stencils, and tips on drawing clothing, weapons, and starships.

The first five years were filled with high adventure, with dreams coming true, with new friendships beginning and old friendships growing. Most of all, though, the years were filled with music being made. We thought about songs night and day, chased the things. I was surrounded by songwriters, musicians, producers, engineers, managers, by people who lived to make music, and we got to see the world through songs. There were a lot of firsts, one after another: First time leaving Oklahoma for Nashville, first time hearing one of our songs on the radio, first time hitting number one. We won¿t ever get to go through all those firsts again, but this book is my chance to get together with the people w

Born in Castellanza on 3 December 1983 he began his piano studies at the age of 8.
At the age of 10 he took part in the International Competition for young musicians held in Urbino, ranking first.
With M° Franca Moschini he takes the path of classical music preparing him for admission at the Conservatory of Music "G. Rossini". He continued his studies with Maestro Lorenzo Bavaj (pianist of tenor Josè Carreras) who will accompany him until he graduates.
After 2 years of training, joined by the same M° Bavaj, he enrolled again at the Conservatory attending for a short period the course of Harpsichord.
After completing his classical studies he approaches jazz studying with Paolo Jannacci and Massimo Morganti.
At 16 he joined the band Dynamic Lights with which he began a series of concerts with excerpts from the first album of unpublished "Night Lights".
He then joined the Changing Sunrise, a local progressive band that brings live covers mostly taken from the Dream Theater repertoire.
Intrigued by the singer-songwriter music, he began to collaborate with the Faneser singer-songwriter Luca Vagnini in his first recording work "Everything I see outside the window" co-produced with the Oscar-winning Marco Falagiani, and later "the Invisible" where he takes care of part of the orchestration and arrangements.

Abstract. In this study we use CryoSat-2 SAR (Delay-Doppler Synthetic Aperture Radar) data over the Mekong River Basin to estimate water levels. Medium and small sized inland waters can be observed with CryoSat-2 data with a higher accuracy compared to the classical radar altimeters due to the increased along track resolution of SAR and the smaller footprint. However, even with this SAR data the estimation of water levels over medium (width less than 500 m) is still challenging as only very few consecutive observations over the water body are present. The usage of land-water-masks for target identification tends to fail as the river becomes smaller. Therefore, we developed a classification to divide the observations into water and land observations based solely on the observations.
The classification is done with an unsupervised classification algorithm, and it is based on features derived from the SAR and RIP (Range Integrated Power) waveforms. After the classification, classes representing water and land are identified. The measurements classified as water are used in a next step to estimate water levels for each crossing over the Mekong River. The resulting water levels are validated and compared to gauge data, Envisat data and CryoSat-2 water levels derived with a land-water mask. The CryoSat-2 classified water levels perform better than results based on the land-water-mask and Envisat. Especially, in the upstream region with medium and small water bodies the improvements of the classification approach for CryoSat-2 are evident.
1 Introduction
The water of rivers is vital for humans but poses a threat at the same time. Rivers are crucial as a suppliers of water for irrigation and fresh water for drinking. However, floods can destroy crops, settlements, and infrastructure. For this reason, it is essential to monitor the water level of river systems. An increasing number of in situ gauges have been derelicted since the 1980s (Global Runoff Data Center, 2013), or the data is not publicly available. It is therefore increasingly important to measure river water level with satellite altimetry.
In recent years many studies were published that apply satellite altimetry over rivers of various sizes (e.g. Birkett, 1998; Santos da Silva et al., 2010; Schwatke et al., 2015; Boergens et al., 2016b; Frappart et al., 2006; Biancamaria et al., 2016). All of the aforementioned studies use pulse-limited altimetry data. CryoSat-2, launched in 2010, is the first satellite carrying a Delay-Doppler altimeter (Raney, 1998). The altimeter operates in three measuring modes: the classical pulse-limited Low
Resolution (LR) mode, the Delay-Doppler Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) mode, and the SAR Interferometric (SARin) mode. The modes of the altimeter are governed by a geographical mode-mask (https://earth.esa.int/web/guest/-/geographical-mode-mask-7107).
Compared to conventional radar altimeters, Delay-Doppler measurements have a higher along track resolution and a smaller footprint. This improves the observation of water levels of inland water bodies like lakes (e.g. Nielsen et al., 2015; Kleinherenbrink et al., 2015; Göttl et al., 2016) or rivers (e.g. Villadsen et al., 2015; Bercher et al., 2013). The advantage of SAR altimetry observations are especially useful for measuring smaller inland waters like rivers. However, CryoSat-2 has a long repeat time of 369 days compared to 35 days of Envisat and SARAL, and 10 days for Topex/Poseidon, Jason-1 and Jason-2. This restricts the estimation of meaningful water level time series over rivers or lakes, if not enough different tracks cross the water body. The advantage of the long repeat time is the very dense spatial distribution of observations. This is especially useful for rivers to better monitor their continuous progression. Unlike lakes, rivers can change their water levels rapidly over their course which makes a denser spatial distribution of observations desirable.
To derive water levels from lakes or rivers it is necessary to identify the water returns of the altimeter. This can be done by applying a land-water-mask such as the mask provided by the World Wildlife Fund (https://www.worldwildlife.org/pages/global-lakes-and-wetlands-database). Such a mask is constant over time, therefore, it neither accounts for the seasonal variations of the water extent nor inter-annually shifting river and lake banks. These masks are usually not accurate enough for narrow rivers where only a few water measurements are available. Extracting dynamic land-water-masks from optical or SAR remote sensing images is difficult in the study area since cloud-free optical data is only available during the dry season with low water level. Moreover, SAR images with sufficient spatial resolution are only available from 2014 on with the launch of Sentinel-1. Although a high accuracy land-water-mask is provided by the Mekong River Commission (http://portal.mrcmekong.org/map_service) for our study area of the Mekong River Basin, its accuracy of 30 m is still not sufficient for the smaller and, especially, the small rivers. Although, a high accuracy land-water-mask is provided by the Mekong River Commission (http://portal.mrcmekong.org/map_service) which has an accuracy of 30 m, this accuracy might not be sufficient for medium and small sized rivers. Additionally, the mask has no seasonal variations included. In the Mekong River Basin the river width varies between 20 m to more than 2 km. The small rivers with a width of less than 100 m are most of the tributaries and the upstream part of the left river bank side main tributaries. The medium rivers, which are less than 500 m but more than 100 m wide, are the main tributaries and the upstream main river. In the downstream reach of the river, before it splits into the delta, the river has a width of over 2 km (see also Figure 2 for a map of the basin).
To overcome the problems and limitations of land-water-masks To be independent from the accuracy and availability of land-water-masks, we classify the altimetry data beforehand in water and land observations. For the classical pulse-limited altimeter this has been done successfully for the last decade (e.g Berry et al., 2005; Desai et al., 2015). Even very small water areas in wetlands have been classified successfully with Envisat data by Dettmering et al. (2016). In the classification, the shape of the waveform is used to discriminate between different reflecting surfaces. Also CryoSat-2 SAR data has been classified based on the SAR waveform before for lakes (Göttl et al., 2016), lakes and rivers (Villadsen et al., 2016), or ice (Armitage and Davidson, 2014). This study takes a step further and uses not only the waveform but also the Range Integrated Power (RIP) for a classification of the altimeter measurements in water and non-water returns over the Mekong River Basin in Southeast Asia. The RIP is only
available for Delay-Doppler SAR altimetry and gives additional insight to the reflective surface which the waveform alone could not provide (see Figure 3 for an example and Wingham et al. (2006)).
The unsupervised $k$-means algorithm is used for the classification (MacQueen, 1967) as not enough reliable training data is available for a supervised classification. The $k$-means algorithm is a widely used unsupervised clustering algorithm and has been used for altimetry classification before (e.g. Göttl et al., 2016).

Abstract
The hydrolytic activities (cellulases and pectinases) of some arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) from four study sites; namely,- Malete, Bacita, Pategi and Ilorin; in southern Guinea savanna of Nigeria were studied. The DNA, RNA and protein contents of their spores were also quantified. Significant differences were observed in the hydrolytic activities of the AMF isolates. Pectinase activity of Malete AMF was F11, 22 =192.4; (p < 0.05); from Ilorin AMF was F13, 26 =1.38; from Bacita AMF was F8, 16 = 7.5; while from Pategi AMF was F10, 20 = 3.64. On the other hand, cellulase activity of Malete AMF was F11, 22 = 1.58; while in Ilorin, it was F 13 26 =2945.21; and in Bacita, it was F 8, 16 = 3849.34 AMF and in soil from Pategi, F 10, 20 = 5.681.23. Variations in DNA, RNA and protein contents of the 13 isolates were also observed. Scutellospora reticulata was predominant in all the soils; it had the highest hydrolytic activity and highest DNA, RNA and protein contents followed by Glomus pansihalos.
Keywords: arbuscular, mycorrhizal fungi, cellulases, pectinases, DNA, RNA, protein
1. Introduction
The Arbuscular Mycorrhizal association is one of the active and diverse soil biological communities that are highly essential for increasing the sustainability of agricultural systems. The diversity of AMF has significant ecological consequences because individual species or isolates vary in their potential to promote plant growth and adaptation to biotic and abiotic factors. Thus, the composition and dynamics of populations of AMF have a marked impact on the structure and diversity of the associated plant communities, both in natural and agricultural ecosystems (Gange et al., 1990). The correct identification of individual isolates is essential in the analysis of populations of AMF in ecological studies. Genetic, biochemical and functional analysis of selected isolates are required tools in their characterization. For better nutrient management in southern Guinea savanna of Nigeria, less emphasis on use of chemicals and an increase in the use of biological potential such as AMF is required. In our laboratory, AMF from selected soils of southern Guinea savanna of Nigeria were extracted and their morphological characterization was carried out. Thirteen species of AMF: Scutellospora reticulata, Scutellospora calospora, Scutellospora pellucida, Acalospora laevis, Gigaspora decipien, Gigaspora margarita, Enthrophosphora infrequens, Glomus intraradices, Glomus pansihalos, Glomus tortuosum, Glomus manihotis, Paraglomus brasilianum and Paraglomus occultum were identified in the soil samples (Olowonihi, 2011).
More information, particularly on the biochemical and molecular characteristics of AMF indigenous to soils of this ecological zone is however needed. This paper thus presents the hydrolytic activities as well as DNA, RNA and protein content of the spores of AMF extracted from soils of southern Guinea savannah of Nigeria. Such information would be useful in controlling the AMF symbiosis through agro biotechnology for a sustainable agricultural environment.
2. Materials and Methods
2.1 Collection of Soil Samples
Soil samples were randomly collected from four locations; Pategi and Bacita soils which are formed over sedimentary rock, Malete and Ilorin soils which are formed over basement complex in southern Guinea savanna of
Nigeria. Using the random sampling method, auger samples were collected from each of the sampling units at 0-15 cm. The soil samples collected from the four study sites were bulked and transported to the laboratory in well labeled polyethylene bags. The core samples passed through 2mm sieve in preparation for analysis haven been air dried for 3 days.
2.2 Extraction of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) Spores
AM spores were extracted using the wet- sieving and decanting /density gradient centrifugation method of Brundrett et al. (1996). Enumeration of spores was done under the dissecting microscope with magnification X40. The number of spores per gram of soil was calculated and recorded.
2.3 Biochemical Characterization of AMF Spores
Isolates were characterized based on the ability of the spores to produce hydrolytic enzymes – cellulases and pectinases in infected tomato plants.
2.3.1 Growth of Tomato Plants and Inoculation Procedures
Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) seeds were surface sterilized in NaCl03 for 15 minutes. The surface sterilized seeds were sown in moist filter paper in a petri dish. After 5 days, uniform sized seedlings were transplanted into 300ml capacity pots filled with grey loam soil. The soil (pH 5.6, 2.41% organic matter, mg kg_1 P NaHCO3 -extractable), was steam sterilized at 100 o C for 1hr on each day of 3 consecutive days. The spores of each of the 13 AMF isolated from the selected soils of Southern Guinea Savanna zone of Nigeria were used for the study. Tomato seedlings were inoculated with AMF spores immediately after transplanting them into pots. Inoculation was at the rate of 50 spores per seedling. Plants were kept in a controlled –climate glass house. The tomato Plants were harvested after 40days. The root system that has been washed and rinsed several times with sterile distilled water was used for determination of enzymatic activity.
2.3.2 Preparation of Extracts for Enzyme Assays
Roots (10g fresh weight) were pulverized in a mortar with liquid nitrogen and then homogenized in 30mls of 100mM tris-HCl buffer (pH7) plus 0. 02g polyvinyl- polypyriolidone (PVPP), 10mM MgCl2, 10mM NaHCO3, 10mM β- mercarptoethanol, 0. 15mM phenylmethyl sulphonyl fluoride (PMSF) and 0.3% X- 100Triton. Sodium azide 0.03% was added to the solution. The liquid was then filtered through several layers of cheesecloth and centrifuged at 20,000 rpm for 20min .The samples were frozen until they were to be used.
2.3.3 Enzyme Assays
Using the viscosity reduction method of Rejon- palomare et al. (1996), the extractants were assayed to determine the hydrolytic activities. Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and Citrus pectin were used as substrates for cellulases and pectinases respectively. The reduction in viscosity was determined at 0- 30mins intervals.
2.4 DNA, RNA and Protein Quantification
Estimation of DNA, RNA and Protein content of AMF spores were carried out at the molecular biology laboratory of the Department of Biochemistry and Microbiology, University of Fort Hare, Alice, South Africa.
2.4.1 Isolation of Nuclei and Active Chromatin
To isolate nuclei and active chromatin two hundred AMF spores pulverized in a mortar under liquid nitrogen were used. The suspension washed with buffer containing 10mM Tris HCl, pH 7.4, and 150mM NaCl was homogenized in a potter-Elvehjem homogenizer with 9 volume of buffer containing 12% (w/v) sucrose, 10 mM Tris HCl, pH 7.8, 2.5 mM EDTA and 1 mM PMSF. To chelate endogenous Ca2+ and Mg2+ EDTA was included in the buffer. The homogenate was filtered through two layers of cheese cloth and centrifuged at 12000g for 5 min over a sucrose cushion [15% (w/v) sucrose in buffer A (10 mM Tris / HCl, pH 7.8, 10m M NaCl, 1mM PMSF)].
Crude nuclear pellets washed with 12 % (w/v) sucrose in buffer A, and then twice with Triton X-100 (0.2%) in buffer A, followed by pe

Configuring ISG as a RADIUS Proxy
Last Updated: August 21, 2011
Intelligent Services Gateway (ISG) is a Cisco IOS software feature set that provides a structured framework in which edge devices can deliver flexible and scalable services to subscribers. The ISG RADIUS proxy feature enables ISG to serve as a proxy between a client device that uses RADIUS authentication and an authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) server. When configured as a RADIUS proxy, ISG is able to "sniff" (look at) the RADIUS packet flows and, on successful authentication, it can transparently create a corresponding ISG session. This document describes how to configure ISG as a RADIUS proxy.

The Cisco IOS image must support AAA and ISG.
Restrictions for ISG RADIUS Proxy
Wireless Internet service provider roaming (WISPr) attributes are not supported.
Information About ISG RADIUS Proxy
* Overview of ISG RADIUS Proxy, page 2
* ISG RADIUS Proxy Handling of Accounting Packets, page 3
* RADIUS Client Subnet Definition, page 3
* ISG RADIUS Proxy Support for Mobile Wireless Environments, page 3
* Benefits of ISG RADIUS Proxy, page 4
Overview of ISG RADIUS Proxy
Public wireless LANs (PWLANs) and wireless mesh networks can contain hundreds of access points, each of which must send RADIUS authentication requests to a AAA server. The ISG RADIUS proxy functionality allows the access points to send authentication requests to ISG, rather than directly to the AAA server. ISG relays the requests to the AAA server. The AAA server sends a response to ISG, which then relays the response to the appropriate access point.
When serving as a RADIUS proxy, ISG can pull user-specific data from the RADIUS flows that occur during subscriber authentication and authorization, and transparently create a corresponding IP session upon successful authentication. This functionality provides an automatic login facility with respect to ISG for subscribers that are authenticated by devices that are closer to the network edge.
When configured as a RADIUS proxy, ISG proxies all RADIUS requests generated by a client device and all RADIUS responses generated by the corresponding AAA server, as described in RFC 2865, RFC 2866, and RFC 2869.
ISG RADIUS proxy functionality is independent of the type of client device and supports standard authentication (that is, a single Access-Request/Response exchange) using both Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) and Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP), Access-Challenge packets, and Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) mechanisms.
In cases where authentication and accounting requests originate from separate RADIUS client devices, ISG associates all requests with the appropriate session through the use of correlation rules. For example, in a centralized PWLAN deployment, authentication requests originate from the wireless LAN (WLAN) access point, and accounting requests are generated by the Access Zone Router (AZR). The association of the disparate RADIUS flows with the underlying session is performed automatically when the Calling-StationID (Attribute 31) is sufficient to make the association reliable.
Following a successful authentication, authorization data collected from the RADIUS response is applied to the corresponding ISG session.
Sessions that were created using ISG RADIUS proxy operation are generally terminated by receipt of an Accounting-Stop packet.
2
ISG RADIUS Proxy Handling of Accounting Packets
By default, ISG RADIUS proxy responds locally to accounting packets it receives. The accounting method-list command can be used to configure ISG to forward RADIUS proxy client accounting packets to a specified server. Forwarding of accounting packets can be configured globally for all RADIUS proxy clients or on a per-client basis.
RADIUS Client Subnet Definition
If ISG is acting as a proxy for more than one client device, all of which reside on the same subnet, the clients may be configured using a subnet definition rather than a discrete IP address for each device. This configuration method results in the sharing of a single configuration by all the client devices.
ISG RADIUS Proxy Support for Mobile Wireless Environments
ISG RADIUS proxy uses mobile wireless-specific processes to provide support for Gateway General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) Support Node (GGSN) environments. The following sections describe ISG RADIUS proxy attribute support and processing:
* Attribute Processing and RADIUS Request Correlation, page 3
* 3GPP Attribute Support, page 3
Attribute Processing and RADIUS Request Correlation
When authentication and accounting requests originate from separate RADIUS client devices, ISG uses correlation rules to associate all the requests with the appropriate session. The association of the disparate RADIUS flows with the underlying session is performed automatically when the Calling-Station-ID (Attribute 31) is sufficient to make the association reliable.
In mobile wireless environments attribute processing and the correlation of RADIUS requests with a session are implemented differently than in a PWLAN environment. For example, in a PWLAN environment the Attribute 31 is a MAC address, and in a GGSN environment Attribute 31 is a Mobile Station Integrated Services Digital Network (MSISDN), which is a plain number or alphanumeric string. In addition, in a GGSN environment the correlation of RADIUS requests can be performed using attributes other than Attribute 31.
ISG RADIUS proxy supports mobile wireless environments by allowing you to specify whether the RADIUS-proxy client uses a MAC or MSISDN format for Attribute 31. The format is specified using thecalling-station-id format command. In addition, you can use the session-identifier command to configure ISG RADIUS proxy to use other attributes (apart from Attribute 31) to perform RADIUS request correlation.
3GPP Attribute Support
In GGSN environments ISG RADIUS proxy must understand and parse the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) attributes described in the table below. These attributes form part of the accounting requests.
3
Table 1 3GPP Attributes Supported by ISG RADIUS Proxy
Benefits of ISG RADIUS Proxy
Use of ISG RADIUS proxy has the following benefits:
* Allows the complete set of ISG functionality to be applied to EAP subscriber sessions.
* Allows an ISG device to be introduced into a network with minimum disruption to the existing network access server (NAS) and AAA servers.
* Simplifies RADIUS server configuration because only the ISG, not every access point, must be configured as a client.

One Concept - 13 models
3 Platforms - 8 Models - 13 Versions
The lightest platform from 1.4 to 1.6 tonnes operating weight and working widths from 82 to 100 cm offers 3 models for small job sites of asphalt or gravel layer compaction.
Specific focus for the most common size of small tandem rollers was assured having a seperate platform for the ARX 23 and ARX 26 (weight class 2.3 - 2.6t, working widths 100 and 120 cm). This results in the best Quality Performance - Cost ratio on the market.
| Type | CECE-weight | Drum width |
|---|---|---|
| | kg | mm |
| ARX 12 | 1475 | 820 |
| ARX 16 | 1520 | 900 |
| ARX 16 K | 1460 | 900 |
| ARX 20 | 1570 | 1000 |
| ARX 23 | 2250 | 1000 |
| ARX 23 K | 2045 | 1000 |
| ARX 26 | 2460 | 1200 |
| ARX 26 K | 2250 | 1200 |
| ARX 36 | 3725 | 1300 |
| ARX 40 | 4125 | 1300 |
| ARX 40 K | 4055 | 1300 |
| ARX 45 | 4650 | 1380 |
Best compaction performance
By combining the ARX 36, 40 and 45 in the heaviest platform is Ammann able to generate outstanding compaction output for medium asphalt jobs and base courses of gravel, sand and mixed soils.
The large drum diameter of these models offers the best compaction factor in the market.
4
Tandem Version
The ARX-range with 8 models of double-drum roller in the weight categories 1.5 - 4.5 tonnes and working widths from 820 - 1380 are designed for asphalt- and soil compaction.
All models have an optimum design with regard to use and economic efficiency based on three product categories. A new hydraulic concept coupled with the latest Yanmar diesel engine technology enables us to gain a significant increase in efficiency. It allows the diesel engine to run at a much lower speed, effectively reducing consumption and noise emissions.
A generously designed operator station with vibration insulation, a simple and clearly laid out operating panel and the multi-functional drive lever next to a comfort-seat form a unit that any driver will appreciate for ergonomic reasons and more.
Side-free Model
The ARX 12 - 20 tandem vibrating rollers are supplied as full flush models with double drive and double vibration as standard. This feature enables the drum to compact completely up against a wall. There is no more additional tuning work needed with additional compaction equipment.
Combination Version
Combination Version
The ARX-rollers are also available as combination rollers ARX16 K, 23K, 26K, 40K and 45K.
The combination model has an in-built anti-adhesive tank with direct pressurised sprinkler system to the tyres. The control of the anti-adhesive sprinklers is operated by a separate hand switch on a control lever. The standard interval-sprinkler switch allows optimum water-supply on every asphalt-job.

Lowest Power Fibre Channel Adapters for Green Data Centers
Cavium's QLogic Adapters Deliver the Highest Performance at the Lowest Power
QLogic StarPower technology from Cavium offers dynamic and adaptive power management features to optimize power and bandwidth for lower power consumption.
KEY BENEFITS
INDUSTRY CHALLENGES
Application growth and technology improvements drives data center managers to use server virtualization to consolidate server footprints and reduce the amount of power and cooling required. Upgrading server equipment to an energy-efficient model can save up to one ton of carbon emissions. Virtualization is an innovative way to absorb growth while minimizing environmental impact.
* Lower Power Consumption. The QLogic ® Dynamic Power Management feature automatically reduces power consumption with no IT administrator intervention. QLogic 2600 Series Adapters from Cavium™ use the minimum number of PCIe ® lanes to accommodate the maximum Fibre Channel bandwidth in a PCIe Gen3 slot. In a PCI Express ® Gen3 slot, the QLogic Dynamic Power Management feature demonstrates 42 percent greater power savings compared to the Emulex ® LPe16002B adapter.
* Lower Power Bills. In a data center with thousands of servers and Fibre Channel Adapters, the QLogic StarPower™ solution results in significant cost savings through lower electricity usage.
* Reduction in Cooling Costs. Choosing an adapter that delivers lower power consumption generates less heat, requiring less cooling to maintain the server's operating temperature.
* Lower Operating Expenses. Decreased power and cooling requirements enable more servers to operate using the existing footprint within the data center.
* Environmentally Responsible. Reducing Fibre Channel adapter power consumption helps lower overall carbon footprint.
All around the globe, more and more data is shared every day, while there is also a shift towards environmentally responsible thinking. The significant increase in the amount of data means that more energy is required to power up and cool the enterprise data center. Therefore, data centers play an important role in reducing the amount of energy used to run large infrastructure complexes.
QLOGIC STARPOWER TECHNOLOGY
Dynamic Power Management techniques, such as Intelligent Link Training (ILT), save power on the QLogic 2500 Series (8Gb) and QLogic 2600 Series (16Gb) Fibre Channel Adapters. Intelligent Link Training forces the PCIe bus to use the minimum number of lanes needed for maximum throughput. For example, for PCIe Gen2 slots, the QLogic 2600 Series Adapter uses all 8 PCIe lanes; however, when the same adapter is plugged into a PCIe Gen3 slot, it uses only four lanes, which are powered down when the bandwidth is not in use, which saves power. Reducing Fibre Channel Adapter component count and using power-efficient components further reduce power consumption.
In addition to its power-saving features, the QLogic 2600 Series Adapter uses an active heat sink to cool the adapter. The design maintains an optimal operating temperature across the broad range of server designs, irrespective of airflow. Having a cooler adapter delivers the highest levels of reliability. Active cooling solutions have been deployed in the industry across many implementations: high-performance CPUs, memory modules, and power components.

Abstract
Methodology: The present observational study was conducted in 90 DFU patients with single Wagner grades 1 or 2 foot ulcer. Depending on the HbA1c levels; Group 1: < 7%, Group 2: 7-8% and Group 3: > 8%. Photographs were taken using the Tissue Analytics software interface installed on an android smartphone, on day 0 and day 14. The software then calculated and yielded the length, width, and area of the ulcer. Culture and antibiotic sensitivity of foot ulcer was done. Chi-square test was used for group comparisons and p<0.05 was considered significant
Background: Altered glycemic levels (HbA1c) can influence the healing process of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU), prevalent among type-2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) patients. The objective of this study was to assess the rate of wound healing in DFU corresponding to HbA1c levels in type 2 diabetes individuals.
Results: The mean HbA1c level was 8.76±2.75% and the duration of DM was 118.87±83.52 months in all the subjects. The range of DM duration was 0.08 to 30 years (Confidence Interval: 8.45 to 11.36). Among the subjects, 44.44% had ulcers for 1-4 weeks. A significant negative correlation (rho= -0.55) between HbA1c and rate of wound healing (p<0.0001) was observed using Spearman rank correlation. Wagner grade was significantly associated with group (p=0.001). Neuropathy, Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD) and bacterial infection at the site was seen in 44.40%, 31.10% and 53.1% patients.
Keywords: Diabetic foot, foot ulcer, Glycated haemoglobin A, wound healing.
Conclusion: The duration required for wound healing increased with rise in HbA1c.

Introduction
Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU) is one of the most common causes for hospitalization of a diabetic patient which could result in amputation if untreated. In India, the onset of diabetes is observed at a young age and is associated with complications regardless of the duration of diabetic illness. [1] Complications of diabetes are divided into microvascular (diabetic neuropathy, nephropathy and retinopathy) and macrovascular (peripheral vascular diseases, coronary artery diseases and
stroke). [2] DFU patients have been observed to carry a risk of developing vasculopathy and neuropathy with a short duration of diabetes in India. [1] Worldwide DFU incidence is 9.1 to 26.1 million per annum. [3] Foot ulcers can be averted by a frequent screening of high risk patients. An infection of the ulcer can be avoided by awareness, control of blood sugar level, removal of dead tissue from wound, progressive dressing, surgery and progressive treatment. [4,5] Risk factors associated with DFU are increasing age, female gender, peripheral neuropathy, peripheral arterial diseases, history of diabetes and elevated Glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1c). [6,7] Modality of DFU consists of debridement of infection, antibiotic treatment, subsequently accurate vascular reformation. A negative wound pressure therapy could be the appropriate treatment method for DFU.[8] Wagner grading system delineates the severity of ulcer, existence of gangrene or osteomyelitis. [9]
Assessment of HbA1c in diabetic patients is advantageous over the routine blood glucose or Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT).[10,11] The benefits of HbA1c testing is that it does not require any prior preparation and it can be done at any time of a day. HbA1c provides an average glucose level for three months which is beneficial over repeated testing of blood glucose. Foot ulcer healing is delayed with elevated HbA1c, total cholesterol, triglycerides, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels. Further HbA1c is a known reliable diagnostic tool for the prediction of DFU. [8,12] Body Mass Index (BMI) and HbA1c are two risk factors associated with diabetes and their raised levels can predict poor healing process of DFU. These two factors signify the restrain over the complications of diabetes. [1] Tissue analytic software assess the wound healing through an electronic health record (HER) plug-in, which is powered by Artificial Inelegancy (AI) software solution. The company recently adopted an interlinked platform with selected partners, that indicates the cutting-edge of wound care instruments, characterized with picturization and examine oxygenation of tissue under the skin, briefing of bioburden and prejudice the DFU.
A paucity of studies regarding a compelling association between DFU and HbA1c level was observed. It has been reported that inconsistent HbA1c levels of diabetic patients have a greater wound healing activity with a baseline control. [13,14] Moreover, after accommodating confounding factors, there has been no correlation between HbA1c level and healing of DFU. [14] Contradicting these outcomes there has been a strong association between elevated HbA1c and delay in the healing of DFU. [4,6,15] Hence, this study proposed to assess the DFU healing rate and its association with corresponding HbA1c levels.
Material and Methods
This prospective observational study was conducted for one year from January 2017 to December 2017 in the department of Surgery at a tertiary care hospital. Using Cohen's convenience method with Effect size of 0.335, 80% power and 5% significance level, sample size was calculated and 90 DFU patients were enrolled in the study. Convenience method of sampling technique was applied for the sample selection. DFU patients who consented for the hospital stay for a minimum of 15 days, patients above 18 years, 1 or 2 Wagner grades with single foot ulcer and only new cases of DFU, irrespective of their Diabetes mellitus duration were included in the study. Exclusion criteria of the study was Wagner grade strike 3 or more, foot ulcer with gangrene, osteomyelitis of foot, diabetic ketoacidosis, immunodeficiency states, hemoglobinopathies, autoimmune diseases like malignancy and patients receiving unconventional treatment for DFUs. The study was approved by Institutional ethical
committee and the informed consent was obtained from the study participants.
Baseline characteristics of the cohort such as age, gender, duration of diabetes, history of hypertension and duration of foot ulcer was collected. During the clinical examination of patients Wagner grade, neuropathy, and Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD) were recorded. [2.16,17] Ulcer characteristics such as shape, location, edge, margins, floor of ulcer were noted on – Day 0 (beginning of study) and Day 14 (end of study) were examined by a qualified General Surgeon. Diagnostic part of the study culture and antibiotic sensitivity of foot ulcer was conducted, for this wound discharge or deep tissue culture during debridement was carried out before inclusion into study.
For the estimation of HbA1c level among DFU patients, 2 cc of blood sample was co

Please state the purpose and methodology of the research:
**Purpose**
The goal of this study is to explore dentist’s perceptions of the importance of Intraprofessional education (IntraPE) with dental hygiene (DH) students, and their attitudes towards teamwork and understanding the roles and responsibilities of the DH. This study focuses on the IntraPE between University of Washington (UW) dental students and EWU DH students. Since IntraPE is a form of shared learning, use of the Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC) Core Competencies for Collaborative Practice will provide the framework for the research questions of this exploratory study (IPEC, 2016b). This research seeks to evaluate how well the Regional Initiative in Dental Education (RIDE) program meets these core competencies in practice.
**Research Questions**
- Do dentists who participated in the RIDE program understand their role and responsibilities related to the DH better than dentists who had no formal IntraPE with DH students?
- Do RIDE dentists perceive there are better teamwork dynamics with their dental hygienists compared to non-RIDE dentists, due to their IntraPE experience with DH students?
**Methodology**
Upon consent, participants will individually complete an online demographic questionnaire including open-ended qualitative questions, and a questionnaire adapted from the Modified Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS), here called the IntraPE attitudes questionnaire, administered through SurveyMonkey®. Participants will be asked about professional respect, understanding others’ roles, collaboration, and teamwork.
**Variables.**
The independent variables are: participation in the UW RIDE program, the year of graduating from the UWSOD, participation in additional SL activities, and previous career as a DH. The PI seeks to measure if there is a specific impact the RIDE program has that differs from the traditional UWSOD curriculum and if there is a long-term impact of dentists having IntraPE with DH. The dependent variables are the scores from the IntraPE attitudes questionnaire. This will measure attitudes towards roles and responsibilities and teamwork based on the two IPEC Competencies of Roles and Responsibilities and Teams and Teamwork (IPEC, 2016b).
Instruments. The PI will use questionnaires to gather quantitative and demographic information. The PI used existing research as described in the literature review to choose a reliable and valid instrument.
Demographic questionnaire. A demographic questionnaire will provide descriptive statistics for the target population. This includes gender, year of graduation from the UWSOD, RIDE participation, years of clinical experience, previous career as a DH, and other IntraPE or IPE experiences. See Appendix B.
The IntraPE attitudes questionnaire. This is based on the subscales in the Modified RIPLS, a 19 item survey with four subscales using a 5-point Likert scale ranging from strongly disagree (1) to strongly agree (5) (McFadyen et al., 2005). The Modified RIPLS is an instrument proven to be reliable and valid for evaluating IPE (McFadyen, Webster, Maclaren, 2006) and has been used to evaluate IntraPE in multiple studies (Brame, Mitchell, Wilder, & Sams, 2015; Brooks & Gorman, 2017; Reeson, Walker-Gleaves, & Ellis, 2015). The Modified RIPLS was adapted for this study with language changed to be specific to dental education and the number of questions reduced to 12 at the request of the UWSOD. See Appendix C. An expert panel evaluated the adapted modified RIPLS to ensure validity. The panel included six professors and dentists at the University of Washington School of Dentistry (UWSOD), the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs at the UWSOD, the EWU dental hygiene graduate faculty, and one EWU de

ODH Announces New Initiatives to Educate Youth and Parents About Vaping Dangers and to Provide Tools for Quitting
As They Investigate, CDC Now Warns People Against Vaping
COLUMBUS – Ohio Department of Health (ODH) Director Amy Acton, MD, MPH, today announced new initiatives to prevent and reduce youth vaping. This comes following recent warnings from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) about severe pulmonary illnesses reported following vaping.
State and local public health officials in Ohio have confirmed that 10 reports of severe pulmonary illness after vaping are likely due to vaping and are investigating an additional 14 reports of illness. Nationally in 33 states, CDC says that it is aware of more than 450 possible cases of severe pulmonary illness after vaping and at least five deaths.
“The explosive increase in vaping among our youth is a public health crisis, and we must educate them and their parents about the dangers of vaping,” said ODH Director Amy Acton, MD, MPH. “Youth have shown an increased vulnerability to nicotine addiction, and evidence suggests that nicotine use during adolescence and young adulthood has long-term impacts on brain development. Last year alone, we saw a 48% increase in vaping among middle schoolers and a 78% increase in vaping among high schoolers. We must provide resources to help our youth to quit using any tobacco products, including vaping.”
ODH announced several new initiatives to address vaping and tobacco use:
- Letter to Ohio school districts encouraging them, in their school policies, to prohibit the use of vaping products and to warn school administrators, teachers, parents, and students about the dangers of vaping and where to get free help to quit;
- Investment of approximately $3.3 million to develop and promote a set of tools and resources that can be used by community groups, organizations, and others to help educate youth and community members about the dangers of vaping and actions they can take to curb vaping in their communities. These tools are likely to include a web-based youth vaping prevention education module, parent/caregiver awareness education, public awareness initiatives, and outreach to community stakeholders;
- Investment of approximately $800,000 in public education campaigns targeting youth and their parents about vaping, as well as Ohio’s new law prohibiting the sale of tobacco, including vaping products, to individuals younger than 21. This new law takes effect on Oct. 17, 2019.
“Tobacco and other companies are addicting our next generation through vaping -- and it is simply not safe. Candy-flavored liquids and intentional marketing tactics are clearly being used to attract and addict young people to vaping,” said Ohio Governor Mike DeWine. “That is wrong, and we must continually look for new ways to reduce vaping in Ohio, especially among our kids!”
People should consider not using e-cigarette products while this investigation is ongoing, according to CDC. The agency also says that e-cigarette products should never be used by youth, young adults, pregnant women, or adults who do not currently use tobacco products. People who do use e-cigarette products should monitor -more-

Palo Alto Rotary Pinion
January 14, 2019Reporter: DON MORGAN Editor: LYLE CONNELL
July 31, 2017
Reporter: DON MORGAN
President GINNY LEAR promptly reminded us that "Be The Inspiration" is our slogan this year, CHARLIE WEIDANZ led the Pledge, and DANA TOM introduced Visiting Rotarian Paula Snyder from Franklin,Tennesee. She said today was an anniversary of the United States: on this date in 1784 the Congress of the Confederation ratified the Treaty of Paris, ending the Revolutionary War. DICK BUSH introduced his guest and long-time close friend of his daughter, Michelle Abshszadeh of Foster City.
Editor: LYLE CONNELL
ELIZABETH SANTANA put in a spirited plug for the Palo Alto Players' "Shakespeare in Love", featuring among other actors an unpredictable dog. This Sunday January 20 at 2pm, followed by a social around 4:15 courtesy of HAL MICKELSON.
LYLE CONNELL recalled from his early Boy Scout days a hike
brush. They soon realized this was too dangerous. It occurred to them to ask themselves "What would Dilworth Young do"? After thinking, they finally carefully plotted their way down the mountain to a stream, then upstream to the camp. Dilworth Young was the Camp Director who was a very inspiration leader for Lyle. He had the ability to inspire you to do your very best when you were with him. Dilworth asked what they would do next time. Result; don't get distracted, focus on the goal, keep track of your surroundings, don't panic, think, develop a plan, and then act to carry it out.
in the mountains of Utah to visit a bat's cave. It was a tough hike. To return to camp he took the ridge route with a leader who knew the way. He and a friend sauntered along the ridge taking in the scenery when they suddenly found themselves alone and "LOST" facing steep terrain and rocky cliffs, not knowing what to do. "So, we panicked." and started crashing
GINNY called attention to complimentary tickets, available at the front desk, to the Celebrity Forum on January 18, featuring Ian Bremmer. She suggested optional donations to End Polio Now.
CASH ALAEE had good news about the annual high schooler speech contest. We have eleven contestants! Many thanks to ANNETTE GLANKOPF for advising how to proceed, and to GINNY and BRUCE GEE for their support. The first round of the contest takes place at City Hall on January 31, at 7 pm. Please attend in support of our team!
BRUCE GEE is now taking reservations for our fabulous Chinese New Year dinner
celebration on January 30 at Chef Chu's Restaurant. Detailed invitations are in your mail.
BRUCE added "Let's get crackin" for the annual crab feed fundraiser on March 23.
BRUCE then volunteered BILL JOHNSON to describe the process to determine recipients of charitable grants from the Club. Unflustered,
BILL did just that, starting with invitations to just about every non-profit in the area to submit preliminary applications. ROGER SMITH, also unflustered, thanked BILL and the Palo Alto Weekly for their support in the process.
For Rotary Foundation donor recognition, GINNY presented a
Paul Harris Fellow pin to PETER SHAMBORA, a pin with three sapphires to SHERRI SAGER, and one with four sapphires to ROGER SMITH. Thank you all for your support.
The President's Club saw TRISH BUBENIK join to thank a hospital for great care and good food, really, and to celebrate her recent birthday.
DANA TOM joined to mark a
graduation trip to Australia with his eldest son and to clebrate his youngest son's selection to the USA Ultimate Frisbee team, about which we should hear much in the future.
DICK MANSFIELD joined to recollect that when he joined the Club 20 years ago an authority asked him to co-chair an important function with PAM BRANDIN, with a warning that she was "really tough". He noted that PAM is retiring and will leave the area in a few months to return to Nebraska.
GINNY thanked BETSY BECHTEL for greeting attendees, KATIE SEEDMAN for Cashier duty, LAURIE LISTON for Microphone Management, STEVE MADSEN and RICHARD KELLER for Room Set Up, and DON MORGAN for the Pinion.
GINNY noted that REBECCA GERALDI was absent due to hand surgery today but would return next week on MLK Day to supervise the all-hands-on-deck service project, preparation of small packages for LGBTQ youths, some of whom have been rejected by their families and are homeless. GINNY hopes for a large turnout.
THE PROGRAM:
Vocational Talks: TOM GRACON, SHERRI SAGER, BILL BUSSE:
MEL MATSUMOTO introduced each speaker with an unusual biographical excerpt – TOM GRACON played the accordion as a youth in a four-person Polka Combo in McKeesport, Pennsylvania, SHERRI SAGER said upon joining the Club in 2004 that she was a long-
standing, long-suffering Golden State Warriors fan, and BILL BUSSE flew a wide range of aircraft in the Navy, from jet fighters to lumbering slow patrol planes.
We enjoyed three fascinating and entertaining talks.
TOM worked in a succession of Silicon Valley tech firms, changing with hardware developments and later software as well, a veritable who's who of the industry, in increasingly important roles.
SHERRI turned 18 the day 18 year-olds got the federal vote, having been allowed to reguister a day earlier. A committed Democrat, she worked for many years on a variety of campaigns and for a variety of office holders, until 25 years ago a friend called to say that the Lucile Packard Childrens Hoapital, then four years old, had obtained approval for a Govermemt Relations specialist, for which everyone
agreed SHERRI was eminently well qualified.
BILL related that the Navy sent him to college in southern
California where he met the lovely lady who would become his wife. On advice from a friend he enrolled at Stanford years later, and produced over a career a large number of impresive architectural creations, including some for our Club. He added to our appreciation of his talents with photos of several projects.

3. Consolidated Earnings for FY2016 1Q(2) – YoY Results Comparisons
・
Major factors for the decrease of ordinary profit were (1) an increase in incurred losses from natural catastrophes in domestic non-life insurance, (8) the recoil of the positive effect in the previous year due to interest rate hike of Australian dollar in domestic life insurance (a negative impact of fluctuation of foreign exchange rate and interest rate during the period was offset by (9) reversal of price fluctuation reserve), and (10) system expenses for the transfer of third–sector policies in force.
・ The impact of foreign exchange rates was limited offset (3) by (4).

that relationship had ended over 14 years prior to the arbitration.\textsuperscript{17} Where, in a lease dispute, an arbitrator failed to disclose that he had represented a company that owned 50 percent of the stock in a company that was represented by a law firm representing the lessor, there was insufficient evidence of partiality where the arbitrator was not financially involved with either the lessor or lessee.\textsuperscript{18}
The legal principle of waiver has been applied where a timely objection was not made to the alleged partiality.\textsuperscript{19} Union counsel had been informed that the arbitrator had previously rendered legal services in labor matters to a graphic arts firm but did not object to the integrity of the arbitrator prior to the award. The court did not reverse the award, because the union's failure to raise the issue of impartiality during the arbitration constituted a waiver of that objection.
The duty to disclose to the parties any current or past relationship before accepting an appointment is strong and positive. Any doubts should be resolved in favor of disclosure. Doing so assures the integrity of the arbitral process and the impartiality of the arbitrator.
\section*{II. CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM IN THE WORKPLACE}
\textbf{Elliott H. Goldstein*}
\textbf{Searches in the Workplace}
The first issue to be discussed is the question of employment searches. These searches can be logically divided into (1) private employer searches, and (2) public employer searches. The topic may be divided further into:
1. Searches conducted by the police or policelike employees (e.g., postal inspectors) or other law-enforcement representatives.
2. Searches of workers entering or leaving employer premises.
\textsuperscript{17}\textit{Merit Ins. Co. v. Leatherby Ins. Co.}, 714 F.2d 673 (7th Cir. 1983).
\textsuperscript{18}\textit{Ormsbee Dev. Co. v. Grace}, 668 F.2d 1140 (10th Cir. 1982).
\textsuperscript{19}\textit{Graphic Arts Local 97-B v. Haddon Craftsmen}, 489 F. Supp. 1088 (M.D. Pa. 1979).
*Member, National Academy of Arbitrators, Chicago, Illinois. This paper was presented at the Academy's Continuing Education Conference in Indianapolis, Indiana, on October 28, 1989.
3. Searches conducted on general employment premises (lockers, desks, vehicles parked on employer-owned parking lots, or work areas, such as loading docks or garbage dumpsters).
The most common issue presented to arbitrators confronted with evidence obtained from a police search is whether the admissibility of the evidence hinges on the propriety of a search under the fourth amendment. Some arbitrators have concluded that the exclusionary rule, which precludes using impermissibly seized evidence in a criminal proceeding against the victim of the improper search, should logically be applied in arbitration hearings to prevent the admission of the evidence.
In *Government Printing Office*,\(^1\) the arbitrator concluded that a federal employee could invoke the protection of the fourth amendment and have illegally seized evidence excluded in an arbitration proceeding. In that case stolen photographic equipment was illegally seized in the grievant's apartment—his home—after a police officer and the employer's investigator awakened the grievant and gained admission to his apartment by telling him that they wanted to talk to him about a burglary in the neighborhood. The arbitrator noted in this case that not only was the police officer acting so as to abridge the defendant's rights, but also the government-employed investigator was a precipitating cause and really instigated the improper and warrantless search. Because a public employer was involved, the fourth amendment applied. Additionally, the search occurred at the grievant's home. Under those specific facts Arbitrator William Feldesman held that the "exclusionary rule precludes the use of evidence, so obtained, in a discharge proceedings, of a criminal hue,"\(^2\) instigated against the grievant by his public employer.
In a private sector case, *Hennis Freight Lines*,\(^3\) some employees were charged with theft and possession of cartons of clothing belonging to the employer. The criminal case was dismissed after a motion to suppress the evidence (the clothing found by the police) was allowed. The employees were fired after the bonding company canceled the bonds of two grievants allegedly involved in the thefts. Arbitrator John P. McGury noted:
---
\(^{182}\) LA 57 (Feldesman, 1983).
\(^{2}\)Id. at 71.
\(^{3}\)44 LA 711 (McGury, 1964).
It may be argued that the spirit of the Constitutional prohibition against unreasonable search and seizure is violated, when the fruits of what has been judicially determined to be an illegal arrest . . . are nevertheless allowed to be considered by the Company or an arbitrator for discharge.\(^4\)
However, McGury credited the evidence which had been suppressed in the criminal case. His reason for admitting and relying on this evidence took into account the difference between constitutional law/criminal law standards and the obligation of the employer under the contract to terminate for just cause. He stated that “constitutional principles may keep the grievants out of jail but do they guarantee them their jobs in the face of Company knowledge of extremely strong proof of dishonesty involving Company property?”\(^5\)
**Searches of Workers Entering or Leaving Company Premises**
Arbitrators generally acknowledge the right of employers to perform reasonable searches of employees and their belongings as they enter or leave the work premises. The security procedure must be one that is (1) clearly established, (2) fairly administered, and (3) understood by all workers. Can a reasonable distinction be made between a lunch-box search and a search of purses of employees entering and exiting the plant? I think not. One arbitrator agreed with that logic and sustained the discharge of an employee who refused to allow the search of her purse under a “lunch pail” rule.\(^6\)
**Searches Conducted on General Employment Premises**
The right of management to carry out employment searches under certain circumstances at the workplace is generally acknowledged. The employees should be fully informed of their obligation under security rules. Employers commonly condition the use of lockers on the right to inspect their contents at any time. Even where that right has not been reserved, many arbitrators permit a locker search upon reasonable cause or, if

\(^6\)See Thrifty Drug Store, 64 LA 997 (Feldman, 1975).
the practice exists, a random search or “shakedown” of all or some of the lockers at a place of work.
In *General Electric Co.*, Arbitrator Eleanor S. McDonald acted on the view that past practice and employee expectations should determine the propriety of locker searches: “[I]f employee lockers have not been considered private and personal property of the employees involved and if employees have not reasonably expected the lockers to be inviolate, then a search of an employee locker” is not improper, but a search is improper “if employees at a plant have long believed and relied upon the circumstance that their lockers were considered private areas and that these could not be opened without the personal consent of the owner of the locker.”
**Vehicles Parked on the Parking Lot**
In *Shell Oil Co.*, Arbitrator Charles R. Milentz upheld the dismissal of an employee for refusing an order to permit the search of a car after marijuana “roaches” were seen in an ashtray and on a dashboard. However, in *Kerr-McGee Chemical Corp.*, Arbitrator William Levin found that an employer finding cocaine in the grievant’s van on the company parking lot during a search was motivated by anonymous informers’ suggestions that drugs would be found there. The employer discharged the grievant when he also tested positive for cocaine use. However, the arbitrator held

Rural Community Development Programmes
OVERVIEW OF INSTITUTION
RATING RATIONALE
RCDP was set up on November 3 rd , 2015 as a non-profit organization under section 42 of the Companies Ordinance 1984. The principal activity of the Institution is to provide cost effective microfinance services to needy persons to enhance their economic role.
The ratings assigned to the Rural Community Development Programmes (RCDP), encompass implicit support from its parent entity, the Rural Community Development Society (RCDS), both on financial and technical fronts. The ratings reflect a positive trajectory marked by improvement in asset quality metrics and the absence of significant portfolio losses despite prevailing macroeconomic conditions. Of significance is the momentum in disbursement activities, culminating in the expansion of the micro-credit portfolio. Strategically, a cautious approach underpins the growth trajectory, characterized by a shift towards individual loans while profitability has seen a significant improvement despite notable write-offs and heightened operating expenses attributed to network expansion initiatives. In the face of challenging macroeconomic dynamics characterized by persistent inflationary pressures impacting clients' disposable incomes and repayment capacities, the maintenance of asset quality is important from a ratings perspective.
Furthermore, the ratings incorporate the allocation of funds towards lending activities alongside the repayment obligations of international borrowings, although concerns arise from a weakening liquidity position over the assessed timeline. Nonetheless, the Institution benefits from a sizable capital adequacy ratio, reflecting sufficient room for growth. Given the management's pursuit of an expansion agenda, the forthcoming impact on operating self-sufficiency (OSS) and overall profitability metrics are pivotal for future ratings assessments. Additionally, the management's ability to manage spreads, liquidity indicators, and healthy disbursement activities will be crucial factors in sustaining the assigned ratings moving forward.
Auditor's Opinion
Ilyas Saeed & Co. Chartered Accountants has provided an unqualified and unmodified opinion, affirming that the Company's financial statements comply with accounting standards and accurately portray the Company's financial position as of June 2023.
Company Profile:
In 1998, Rural Community Development Society (RCDS) was formed to provide integrated development services to the impoverished and neglected communities in Punjab, Pakistan. Subsequently to abide and comply with regulations, RCDS underwent a spin-off process and separated the microfinance and social development aspects; microfinance segment was taken into a new entity by the name of Rural Community Development Programmes (RCDP) while the social development aspects were retained within RCDS in 2016. RCDP is limited by guarantee having no share capital. The principal activity of the Institute is to provide cost effective micro finance services to needy persons in order to enable economic participation. In addition, the Institution also provides services in the form of training, both to its clients and staff. The registered office of the Institution is situated in Lahore.
RCDP's senior management and Board of Directors are experienced professionals with considerable experience in the field of microfinance. The Board oversees three committees: the Board Audit Committee (BAC), Board Remuneration Committee (BRC), and Board Risk Management and Compliance Committee (BRCC), all chaired by independent directors.
Productivity Analysis and Branch Network
The total number of Loan Officers (LOs) employed by the Institution has increased over time till FY23, aligning with the Institution's strategy to expand its presence, reaching 956 (FY22: 815). However, the number of LOs per branch has decreased due to proportionally higher increase in the number of branches during the rating period. Additionally, there was a rise in the number of active borrowers in FY23, also driven by the Institution's expansion strategy. However, the proportionately greater increase in LOs compared to active borrowers has led to a decline in the Active Borrowers per LO ratio.
VIS
Amid the uncertain political and macroeconomic landscape in Pakistan, RCDP scaled back its expansion plans in the early part of the current financial year. As a result, during 1HFY24, the number of LOs decreased to 906 (FY23: 956), while the number of branches remained constant. The Institution aimed to grow the number of active borrowers by providing smaller token loans for Credit Enterprise Development (CED) loans. Conversely, for other loan products with a higher proportion of bad debt write-offs, the Institution planned to increase the average loan size of such loans by primarily targeting the existing creditworthy borrowers. As a result of these strategies, the Institution experienced an increase in both the number of active borrowers and the average loan amount to 208,196 (FY23: 204,552) and Rs. 41,810 (FY23: Rs. 39,871) respectively. Concurrently, Active Borrowers per LO and Active Borrowers per branch ratios also increased during 1HFY24. A snapshot of productivity analysis indicators is attached below:
Rating Drivers:
Growth in Gross Loan Portfolio (GLP)
The Gross Loan Portfolio (GLP) showed steady growth over the timeline, reaching Rs. 8.2 bn by the end of FY23, up from Rs. 7.1 bn in FY22 and Rs. 4.8 bn in FY21. This growth aligned with increased lending activities during the rating period. Loan disbursements rose to Rs. 13.1 bn (FY22: Rs. 10.4 bn) in FY23, driven by an increase in the number of active borrowers and larger average loan sizes. Total recoveries reached Rs. 11.7 bn FY23 (FY22: Rs. 7.9 bn). The surplus of disbursements over recoveries led to the expansion of the GLP.
During 1HFY24, the GLP stood at Rs. 8.8 bn. Disbursements totaled Rs. 7.3 bn (FY23: Rs. 13.1 bn), while recoveries amounted to Rs. 6.7 bn (FY23: Rs. 11.7 bn). Going forward, as RCDP is a non-deposit taking microfinance institution (MFI), its growth in GLP hinges on securing timely funding from financial institutions.
Microcredit Portfolio Risk Segregation
Originally, RCDP primarily employed a group-based lending approach. However, higher risk associated with this approach precipitated a transition to individual lending during FY22. The Institution's flagship products, CED and Business Enhancement Loan (BEL), maintained their prominence in the net performing loan portfolio during FY23, contributing 48.0% and 32.3%, respectively. There has been a decline in the contribution of all loan products to the portfolio, except for CED, relative to FY22. This change is attributed to an increase in the proportion of bad debt write-offs for these products, thereby, the Institution has reduced the proportion of these products in the loan portfolio accordingly.
In 1H'FY24, disbursements totaling Rs. 6.3 bn were allocated towards CED and BEL products. The proportion of CED within the overall net loan portfolio saw a slight uptick, reaching 49.4%. Similarly, BEL's contribution increased marginally to 33.7%. Below is a tabulated breakdown showcasing the Institution's product mix along with their respective contributions to the net loan portfolio:
During 1HFY24, the average loan size rose to Rs. 41,810 (FY23: Rs. 39,871; FY22: Rs. 38,364). This increase was driven by existing clients entering successive loan cyc

17/143 HIGHWAYS COMMITTEE: There had not been a Highways meeting since the last Full Council meeting. The next meeting is on 24 th July 2017. Cllr Milner reported the following:-
- Speedwatch- a date needs to be organised for the sessions to start – Cllr Milner and the Clerk to organise.
- SID – the new SID has been ordered and a suitable replacement site for outside Ashurst Village Hall will be considered once it is delivered.
- Gateways – the first four gateways are now in place however the gateway at Groombridge is still not as ordered and the Clerk is chasing its replacement. The Clerk has also asked Highways to cut back all obscuring vegetation surrounding the gateways. Cllr Mercieca enquired about what the gateways are made of with regard to maintenance costs. Cllr Milner reported a damaged speed sign on the back of the Langton Green gateway however it was hoped this would be updated when the new speed restrictions are in place.
- 20mph – a consultation for the 20mph zone for Speldhurst was advertised by a letter-drop to 300 residents. The consultation ends on 3 rd July. The 20mph restrictions in Langton Green will be advisory during school opening and closing times and will work on a flashing light system. KCC have asked SPC to be responsible for the ongoing maintenance for the Simmonsigns, GPRS Pulsa Softward and monitor timer at both locations. The Clerk said that he has been advised that LED lights are used which rarely go wrong – if however they do need replacing the approximate cost would be £600. It was RESOLVED that SPC would accept responsibility for the ongoing maintenance of the signage in Langton Green.
17/144 LANGTON GREEN RECREATION GROUND (LGRG): Cllr Mrs Lyle reported the following:
a) Pavilion income for the financial year to date is £5,916.00 against expenditure of £3,667.02
b) The electricity bill had reduced by nearly a half following the change of programme and she will continue to monitor it.
c) The pavilion café is thriving and Emma is planning an end of term jamboree.
d) The management Committee is awaiting information regarding the rating of the pavilion which will have an impact on the rental rates which are due for reconsideration/renewal in November.
e) There are ongoing problems in the carpark at the beginning and end of the school day with not enough spaces for everyone resulting in inconsiderate parking and occasional aggressive behaviour. The school has introduced schemes such as 'walk on Wednesdays' and a walking bus will start in September however despite the efforts of the school repeatedly asking parents to park and behave sensibly there still seems to be a problem. Cllr Mrs Lyle asked Councillors for advice on what could be done to alleviate the problem. Cllrs Mrs Jeffreys, Milner and the Clerk all said that the carpark was built to help with parking; not to solve the problem and was only going to get worse as the school increases its intake. Councillors felt that whilst they are very sympathetic to the problems being experienced by the school parents, it is not the responsibility of SPC to police the carpark or provide solutions and that it is a common problem experienced outside most primary schools in the area. The Clerk suggested a very staggered start and finish time to the school day as a way to reduce the problem. The Clerk also said that when the carpark is repainted in the summer holidays, he was considering hatching some areas that are currently not marked out as bays to prevent people parking there and to encourage safer parking. This was supported by Cllr Mrs Lyle.
17/145 PARISH PLAN: Cllr Barrington-Johnson said that he had nothing specific to report. He has chased up Arriva regarding the study they promised earlier in the year about additional bus services in the parish and he was disappointed to learn that the contact he had been given had moved onto another department and wa

Answers to questions taken on Notice Inquiry into the integrity, efficacy and value for money of NSW Government grant programs Monday 21 September 2020
Page 43
Mr HURST: I would have to confirm the date but it was certainly late in the month of June in 2018.
The Hon. JOHN GRAHAM: It is mainly that tied grants funding round that has attracted attention and has been the source of the questioning today. The guidelines for that fund changed on 27 June 2018. I am relying there on evidence you gave to the Parliament in response to a question on notice. That is correct, isn't it?
Answer
The revised guidelines were approved on 27 June 2018.
Page 49
Metro projects and funding guidelines should be hopefully signed by Prem tomorrow. Once the guidelines are signed, I will pass them over to you to get the DP sign and then we can get Min Upton to sign.
The CHAIR: This is an email conversation between Laura Clarke at the Deputy Premier's office and yourself. It has come from a senior policy adviser at the Premier's office. It says:
Do you see that?
The CHAIR: Were they the three Ministers who signed off on the guidelines?
Mr HURST: Yes, I can see those words.
Mr HURST: I was a recipient of that email, not the author. Once again, I am not authorised under the Cabinet confidentiality rules to answer any question about the briefing note. The Legislative Council was advised on 17 September that that document is Cabinet-in-Confidence. The matter is being actively considered by the Legislative Council. It is not appropriate for me to answer that question. I need to take that on notice.
Answer
Yes.
Page 50
Mr HURST: I think that is a question for the Minister.
The CHAIR: There is one other proposition I would put to you and ask you if you want to answer it now or take it on notice. When the Minister provided an answer on notice as to who signed off on the guidelines, and the Minister's answer was "The Stronger Communities Fund Tied Grants round guidelines were approved by the former Minister for Local Government on 27 June 2018", I suggest to you that the answer was false and that, in fact, it was the Deputy Premier, the Premier and the Minister for Local Government. Do you have any reason to suggest that proposition is wrong?
The Hon. JOHN GRAHAM: On that question, you have provided an answer to the Parliament that contradicts the email that has just been referred to. It goes to your office's answer to the Parliament to a question on notice asked by the Chair. This clearly contradicts it. Do you want to correct the record?
Mr HURST: My understanding is that it is the Minister's response to the
Parliament. I believe it is a question for the Minister.
The CHAIR: You have taken it on notice otherwise?
Mr HURST: Yes, I will take that on notice.
Answer
This is a question for the Minister.
Page 60
Mr HURST: Yes, I will take that on notice.
The CHAIR: That is in the tied grant round.
The Hon. JOHN GRAHAM: Could you take on notice how much of the value of the $252 million was respectively approved by the Premier, the Deputy Premier and the Minister for Local Government?
Answer
Of the $252 million total in the tied grants round, $141.8 million was allocated by the Premier, $61.3 million was allocated by the Deputy Premier, and, $48.9 million was approved by the Minister for Local Government.
Page 63
The Hon. JOHN GRAHAM: Not all of them make clear what the direction is. For example for Parramatta, it is your email to your office which is recorded in the documents you have sent to Parliament saying this is a $16 million single project. There appears to be no endorsement from the office. Have you got any guidance on that project?
Mr HURST: Those emails are a record of the Office of Local Government being advised—consistent with the program guidelines—of the council, the project and the amount. The guidelines say that these are for projects identified by the New South Wales Government and the Office of Local Government then proceeds with issuing the funding agreement.
Mr HURST: I would have to take on notice about any particular example but I am sure in that instance it was forwarding on advice that had been received.
Mr HURST: Yes.
The Hon. JOHN GRAHAM: Perhaps you could take that on notice and indicate whether that was a verbal approval in that case.
The CHAIR: It may be easier for you to take on notice providing the answer to who approved each specific project and provide a detailed table identifying who approved each specific project. Would you be in a position to do that?
The CHAIR: To provide an answer as to who approved which specific project under the $252 million. You have heard the Hon. John Graham say it is somewhat confusing following the paper record. Will you provide on notice an answer of who approved which specific projects for the entirety of the tide grant funding? Mr HURST: Yes. I will take that on notice for each of the projects.
Mr HURST: So to summarise the material that has already been provided under the call for papers process which we have fully complied with?
The CHAIR: In doing that, could you provide the written brief for each project?
Mr HURST: Mr Shoebridge, you have those documents. They are in the call for papers that you have already received a response to and that each of you have been reading from during the course of this hearing.
Mr HURST: Yes.
The CHAIR: I am asking if you will take it on notice. I do not want to take up any more of the Hon. John Graham's time.

Abstract
The French Physics Society is an association with the purpose of promoting physics and physicists. In this context, the accelerator physics and associated technologies division contributes to the promotion of accelerator activities in France. This paper presents the missions and actions of the division, highlighting those concerning young scientists. A brief presentation of the laboratories, institutes and facilities which are the main actors in the field will then be given. Significant projects which are underway or planned will be described, including medical applications. The major contribution of France to international projects will then be introduced. Finally the cultural and technical relations between industry and laboratories will be discussed.
expertise, facilities or laboratories, but more as a general overview and an introduction of what can be found in France. The content of this paper reflects the contributions to the latest Roscoff conference [2].
THE FRENCH PHYSICS SOCIETY
The French Physics Society (SFP) is an association created in 1873 in order to participate in the development and promotion of Physics in France [1]. The SFP brings together researchers, engineers, students, and teachers. It coordinates actions for promoting physics to the general public, ministries, public bodies or other science communities. The society also awards 15 prizes, most of them for the achievements of young scientists.
The SFP includes several divisions, among which the accelerator physics and associated technologies division strives to promote accelerator activities. A dedicated conference is organized every two years for a national review of accelerator physics activities and for an update on the associated technologies. On this occasion the "Jean-Louis Laclare" prize is awarded to a young scientist who has made a remarkable contribution to the field. In 2009 the meeting brought together 118 participants from 25 institutes and 11 companies in Roscoff, a town located on the west coast of France (Figure 1). Attracting and educating a young public is of major concern for the division in order to maintain the dynamics of accelerator activities in France.
MAIN ACTORS AND LABORATORIES
France has a long history of applied sciences and technological challenges. The expertise accumulated through national projects and international collaborations is spread over various laboratories covering most requirements for accelerator developments. This paper is not intended as an exhaustive review of all available
U05 Applications, Other
Accelerator activities are mostly performed or coordinated by the two national organisations through their specific institutes: CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique) through IN2P3 (Institut de Physique Nucléaire et de Physique des Particules) and CEA (Commissariat à l'Energie Atomique et aux Energies Alternatives) through IRFU (Institut de Recherche sur les lois Fondamentales de l'Univers). Their involvement is distributed among a large number of laboratories dealing with fundamental physics or technological issues. Most of these laboratories participate in national, European, or international projects (SPIRAL2, IPHI, LHC, CLIC, XFEL, ILC, IFMIF, GUINEVERE,..).
The scientific community benefits from four large accelerator based facilities in operation in France:
National laboratories:
* Synchrotron SOLEIL (Saclay )
* National Large Heavy Ion Accelerator (GANIL, Caen)
European facilities:
* European Nuclear Research Center (CERN, Geneva), partially located in France
* European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF, Grenoble)
The four facilities are at the forefront of technology, while maintaining the availability and reliability of user facilities at the highest possible level. All of them have a development programme for improving the performance of the accelerators to fulfil the requirements of science.
Accelerators dedicated to medical applications have become a growing field of activity. The performance of the machines dedicated to research or to the most demanding clinical applications requires the participation of experts from laboratories and industry. The main medical projects were presented at the Roscoff conference. A high intensity 70 MeV cyclotron recently built at Nantes, ARRONAX, aims at producing innovative radio nuclides for research in nuclear medicine and to perform research in radiochemistry. A 65 MeV cyclotron, CAL, has been in operation since 1991 in Nice for cancer protontherapy. CPO, the Orsay proton therapy center is upgrading its facility used for patient treatments. A new 230 MeV cyclotron equipped with an isocentric gantry under commissioning will complement the existing beamlines [3]. Regarding hadrontherapy, ETOILE (Lyon)
181
has been approved for funding [4], and ARCHADE (Caen), is under study. Both machines will be designed and built by industry.
Smaller accelerators are also used for research. In Paris, under the Louvre museum, AGLAE, a proton electrostatic accelerator of a few MeV is used to investigate manufacturing techniques of fine art. In Orsay, ELYSE a pico-second short pulse electron accelerator and CLIO a 50 MeV linac based Free Electron Laser are operated as user facilities for physics-chemistry. Also, based in Orsay a 50 MeV electron linac called ALTO and Van de Graff accelerators with light ions are used for nuclear physics. Small accelerators are also used in Orleans for physicschemistry and in Bordeaux in nuclear physics.
Investigating new acceleration concepts, characterized by large accelerating gradients, is an active field of research in French laboratories. Electron accelerator techniques based on laser-plasma interactions in gas targets have demonstrated accelerating gradients in the range 1 to 270 GV/m [5].

?Salome's Modernity on Apple Books
Contemporary audiences and reviewers variously regarded Salome as the symbol of a thrilling modernity, a challenge to patriarchy, a confession of desire, a sign of moral decay, a new form of art, and a revolt against the restraints of Victorian society. Less well known than Wilde's beloved comedies, Salome is as enduringly modern and relevant.

CLASSROOM REQUIREMENTS
Introduction
Great Start Readiness Programs (GSRP) must comply with Public Act 116 of the Public Acts of 1973, as amended and the Licensing Rules for Child Care Centers. Michigan State Board of Education criteria for the GSRP require adherence to the Great Start Readiness Program Implementation Manual and the State School Aid Act requires program adherence to all standards in the Early Childhood Standards of Quality for Prekindergarten (ECSQ-PK). The Michigan Department of Education (MDE) requires grantees to address program quality in a systematic way utilizing both the applicable program evaluation tool and child outcome data.
Agencies which operate GSRP must comply with state licensing regulations governing child care. GSRPs must receive a license from the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA), Bureau of Community and Health Systems Child Care Licensing Division. All regular child use areas must be approved for use. Relocations must be completed with the knowledge of the Intermediate School District (ISD). The ISD and a GSRP Consultant must be notified within 24 hours of an incident being reported to licensing, of a special investigation being initiated, a change from a regular to a provisional license, or continued provisional status. For more information contact the Child Care Licensing Division at 866-6850006.
This section provides detail and requirements for a high-quality, center-based preschool program that will enhance the development of young children. When even one child in a classroom is funded through GSRP, all GSRP guidelines must be followed: staff credentialing, curriculum, assessment, parent involvement, etc. Children in any classroom may be funded from a variety of sources, but all must attend for the full session. Classroom models below include required components.
When planning the program year, scheduled breaks, half-days, holidays, and possible inclement weather days should be taken into account and sufficient days and weeks scheduled to ensure that the minimum number of full program days and weeks is met. When excessive unexpected closures occur (e.g. inclement weather days) and reduce the number of days/weeks children will attend to less than the minimum required, make-up days must be planned. Classrooms in place for more than one academic year, including relocated classrooms, must have a minimum of 120 days spread over at least 30 weeks. New subrecipients and newly licensed classrooms must operate for a minimum of 80 days spread over at least 20 weeks of classroom sessions, but more are strongly recommended to better support enrolled children to be prepared for a successful kindergarten experience.
School-Day GSRP
School-Day preschool programs must operate for at least the same length of day as the local school district's/public school academy (PSA)'s first grade program. A classroom that offers a School-Day program must enroll all children for the length of the school day to be considered a School-Day program. If the program operates
five days per week, staff must have paid time for planning, professional development and parent involvement.
Part-Day GSRP
Part-Day preschool programs must provide for a minimum of three hours of teacher/child contact time per day, for at least four days per week. If the program operates five days per week, staff must have paid time for planning, professional development and parent involvement.
GSRP/Head Start Blend Classrooms
An ISD or its subrecipients may partner with Head Start to create a GSRP/Head Start "Blend" within a classroom. This is accomplished by blending GSRP and partday Head Start funding resulting in a school day of preschool programming. The funding for the GSRP portion of the day is the same as Part-Day GSRP. See the ISD Administration of GSRP section of this manual and resources for that section for more information.
GSRP/Head Start Blend preschool programs must operate for at least the same length of day as the local school district's/PSA's first grade program. A School-Day, versus a Part-Day daily routine must be implemented.
All Head Start and GSRP policies and regulations must be applied to the blended classrooms, with the highest standard from either program adhered to. All children funded by the GSRP/Head Start Blend must qualify for and be concurrently enrolled in both programs. Children in the class may be funded from a variety of sources, but all must attend for the full day. Classrooms that include GSRP/Head Start Blend enrollment meet Head Start requirements on days-in-session.
A child may not participate in GSRP for a part-day session in one classroom and then transition to a Head Start part-day session in another classroom. If the program operates five days per week, staff must have paid time for planning, professional development and parent involvement.
For classrooms that include GSRP/Head Start Blends and where Head Start has the preponderance of responsibility, Head Start is contracted as the GSRP subrecipient. When the subrecipient delivering GSRP/Head Start Blend classrooms is other than Head Start, considerations include collaboration on features such as enrollment, attendance, classroom tools and forms, cost allocation for the teaching team and classroom services, comprehensive services and monitoring of requirements for both programs. The responsibility for each of these program requirements must be addressed in the formal agreement between Head Start and GSRP.
Educational guidance for the teaching team warrants special consideration. As with all GSRP classrooms, the GSRP Early Childhood Specialist (ECS) is the educational leader, administering the program evaluation tool and monitoring child assessment data. The ECS must also collaborate with the Head Start Education Manager as detailed within the written agreement. If both the ECS and the Head Start Education Manager are to support the classroom, they also collaborate on feedback sessions and goal-setting so that there is a systematic approach with consistent messaging and manageable expectations for teaching teams.
Program Components
Philosophy
Administrative and program policies are undergirded with an underlying statement of beliefs about teaching and learning. A philosophy statement is a means of thinking deeply about preschool teaching and the beliefs upon which decisions are made. This is separate from a mission statement, which answers the question, "Why do we exist?" and articulates the preschool purpose both for those in the organization and for the public.
The written philosophy statement is developed and reviewed by administrators, staff, and GSRP advisory groups. It is included in the program's Parent Handbook. It establishes a framework for program decisions, goal-setting; and is aligned with the ECSQ-PK and grant expectations. The philosophy statement also addresses local, social, economic, cultural, and family needs; and is promoted widely via websites, recruitment materials, classroom newsletters, parent-boards, etc.
Consider the following as the philosophy statement is crafted or reviewed:
* Why preschool is important: What is the purpose of preschool? What is the preschool grantee's role?
* Those we serve: How do we support diversity among enrolled children? How do we define our community of learners? What is our relationship with the community, parents, teaching colleagues, and administration?
* Approach and content: What are our beliefs about how children learn? How do our beliefs affect our work?
* Program administration: Curriculum selection; instructional strategies AND teacher-child relationships; child assessment; program evaluation; and program improvement efforts for individuals, the classroom, and program.
Comprehensive Programming
The ECSQ-PK and legislation require comprehensive programming. In partnership with parents, the GSRP provider supports:
* Children's health (mental, oral, and physical),

NZAFF account details - 123083 0540849 00
11. The onus is on the Complainant to identify how their Protest or Complaint clashes with the Rules, regulations etc, that justify the reason for the Protest or Complaint. The Event manager (or other duly authorised person), will need to confirm that the Protest or Complaint (or the Appeal) is valid before the Protest or Complaint is progressed to the next step.
12. The Event manager (or other duly authorised person) will:
* then notify the member, Association or Region ("Respondent"), which is subject of the Protest or Complaint, of the nature of the complaint.
*
form a Hearing Panel to hear the Protest or Complaint.
* nominate one of the members of the Hearing Panel as chairperson of the Panel.
13. The Hearing Panel will be made up of 3 persons, to serve as members, drawn from:
* the NZAFF Board,
* the Chairpersons or presidents of affiliated Regions or Clubs,
* Senior game Officials.
In forming the Panel due consideration will be given to any possible conflict and, to the extent possible, the elimination of such conflict. This may result in different panel composition depending on the team(s) involved.
14. The Hearing Panel will convene within an hour (60 minutes) of the Protest or Complaint being confirmed unless there are extenuating circumstances.
The Hearing Panel will:
* be entitled to consider such evidence as it sees fit including witnesses if either party chooses to have them available at the time of the hearing.
* adopt procedures which it considers are appropriate in the circumstances of the particular Protest or Complaint.
15. Generally, the following procedure will be adopted:
* The Hearing Panel will hear from the complainant and consider any evidence given in support of the complaint. The Respondent (or any representative) will be entitled to ask questions of the complainant and any witness called by the complainant.
* The Hearing Panel will then hear any evidence from the Respondent and the Complainant (or any representative of the complainant) may ask questions of the Respondent and any witnesses called by the Respondent.
In the case of a Protest the Hearing Panel will not consider video evidence unless specifically stated in the Tournament rules as being allowed.
16. All hearings will be private and confidential and only the parties and persons involved as witnesses or representatives of the parties shall be entitled to attend hearings. The exception to this is covered in point 17.
17. If the outcome of the Protest has the potential to impact another team that team's representative (Coach or Manager speaking on behalf of their team or club) should be included in the hearing, as a party, but their comments should be the final comments, including responses from other parties, requested and considered by the Hearing Panel.
18. Individuals appearing before the Hearing Panel are entitled to have a support person attend. Individuals under 18 years old will be required to have an adult support person attend. A Protest or Complaint cannot be heard from an individual under 18, unless a support person is present. The support person must be over 18 years old.
19. Where the Hearing Panel upholds the Complainant's Protest or Complaint on the balance of probabilities (more likely than not), it has the power to impose any of the following penalties(either individually, or in combination):
* A suspension
* Fine
* Such other sanction, or outcome, as it sees fit.
20. After hearing the evidence, the Hearing Panel may retire to consider its decision in private. After its deliberations, it may announce its decision to the parties verbally or in writing.
Appeals
21. Except for appeals to the Sports Tribunal, appeals can only be made by a Member against a decision by the Hearing Panel and must be lodged within 30 minutes of the decision being announced.
22. The basis of the Appeal can only be on:
* The process leading to the decision not following the guidelines laid out in this document.
* The decision contravenes the rules and regulations for the conduct of the Tournament.
23. The onus is on the Member making the appeal to prove that the Appeal meets the above conditions.
24. The process will then follow the same process as above starting at point 11 above. The process will involve the formation of an Appeal Hearing Panel.
25. The Appeal Hearing Panel will consist of different Members to that of the Hearing Panel with the same process for selection as noted in point 13 above.
26. There will be no opportunity to appeal the decision of the Appeal Hearing Panel. The decision on the appeal will be considered final.
Complaints subsequent to the Tournament
27. If a Member wishes to lodge a Complaint regarding any aspect of the Tournament subsequent to the Tournament finishing it must be filed in writing with the Federation within 48 hours from midnight on the last day of the Tournament.
28. Complaints subsequent to the Tournament cannot address any decision made by the Appeal Hearing Panel.
If the Complaint is regarding a decision of the Hearing Panel, it can only be on the basis that the process leading to the Hearing Panel Decision did not follow the guidelines laid out in this document, or that it contravenes the rules and regulations for the conduct of the competition.
29. Depending on the nature of the complaint, the process may be dealt with through mediation or any other means considered appropriate.
Appeal to the Sports Tribunal
30. A decision of the Appeal Hearing Panel may be the subject of an appeal to the Sports Tribunal by any party to the decision. In order to exercise this right of appeal, a written notice of appeal must be received by the Federation and an appeal filed with the Sports Tribunal

NCCAP was created by the National Association of Activity Professionals (NAAP) in 1986 as the official credential of the Activity Profession.

To My Favorite Girl
1. In my opinion Dot is hot. Indifferent to her I am not.
2. Her figure's from a Grecian mold like one that Phidias served of old.
3. Her hair, her face, her smile to me are just the ones I like to see.
5. With face and figure, brains and speed. She is exactly what I need.
6. How lucky I was one December day as I drew a card before starting to play.
7. The partner I won is my partner still I haven't changed and I never will.

CONCURRING PROCEEDINGS
1. Notwithstanding paragraph 1 of Article 3.34 (Other Claims), an investor of the EU Party shall not submit to the Tribunal under Section B (Resolution of Disputes between Investors and Parties) of Chapter 3 (Dispute Settlement) a claim that Viet Nam has breached a provision referred to in Article 2.1 (Scope) if the investor has submitted a claim alleging a breach of that same provision referred to in Article 2.1 (Scope) in proceedings before a court or administrative tribunal of Viet Nam or any international arbitration. 1
1 The fact that an investor has submitted a claim that Viet Nam has breached a provision of Chapter 2 in proceedings before a court or administrative tribunal of Viet Nam or any international arbitration with respect to one of its investments does not prevent the same investor from submitting a claim alleging a breach of the same provisions to the Tribunal under Section B (Resolution of Disputes between Investors and Parties) of Chapter 3 (Dispute Settlement) with respect to its other investments where such other investment is allegedly affected by the same measure.
2. Notwithstanding paragraphs 2 and 3 of Article 3.34 (Other Claims), in the event that Viet Nam is the respondent, an investor of the EU Party shall not submit a claim to the Tribunal under Section B (Resolution of Disputes between Investors and Parties) of Chapter 3 (Dispute Settlement) that a measure is inconsistent with the provisions of Chapter 2 if any person who directly or indirectly controls or is directly or indirectly controlled by the investor (hereinafter referred to as "related person") has submitted a claim to the Tribunal or any other domestic or international court or tribunal alleging a breach of the same provisions, with respect to the same investment and:
(a) the claim of that related person was addressed by an award, judgment, decision or other settlement; or
(b) the claim of that related person is pending and that person has not withdrawn such pending claim.
3. Claims that do not fall into the scope of paragraph 1 or 2 of this Annex shall be subject to Article 3.34 (Other Claims).

1. Call to Order
President Dr. Cavanagh called the meeting to order at 6:30 p.m.
2. Welcome and Introductions
Dr. Cavanagh welcomed members and introductions were made.
3. Office of Student Affairs Report
Dr. Constance reported 1,300 student applications were received by Admissions for 72 spots for the 2018-19 academic year. Three hundred applicants were interviewed. Seven of those students completed our MedPrep program. Eighteen percent are minority students with an increase of 14% specifically Latino. Items of note include:
- Tuition is $15,000 per semester for a total of $150,000 by graduation (10 semesters).
- Student loans have a 30-year repayment option.
- 26 alumni scholarships were awarded this year which is very helpful (18 class scholarships awards at $2,000 each & the SOM alumni scholarship fund awarded 5 at $3,000 each; the other 3 were individual scholarships at varied amounts).
- The minimum amount required to establish an endowment is $25,000 (payable over a period of up to five years) which will spin off $1,255 per year.
- Younger classes include mostly men; more women are enrolling in the Physician Assistant (PA) program. The PA program is a 26-month program and they finish with less debt.
100% of the MS2 class passed the USMLE Step 1 last year.
Dr. Williamson inquired, based upon the Match 2018 data, why so many of our students matched at SLU, noting that they have recently been on probation for many non-compliance violations. Dr. Constance noted that many from this class are from the metro-east area and are aware.
4. Approval of October 30, 2017, Meeting Minutes
A motion was made and seconded to approve the October 30, 2017 minutes.
5. Department of Family & Community Medicine Initiatives, Vision & Collaborations
Dr. Janet Albers presented “Increasing Access to Care: The Role of Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC) and Expansion of SIU Center for Family Medicine.” SIU Medicine applied for FQHC status to increase the cost-based reimbursement rate for Medicaid and Medicare patients and acquire additional federal dollars to serve vulnerable populations. FQHC status has allowed growth and expansion of services within our medical home to serve our patients and expose our learners to this model of care. The FM Medicine clinics are located in Springfield, Carbondale, Decatur, Jacksonville, Lincoln, and Quincy.
6. Dean’s Update
In Dr. Kruse’s absence, Dr. Albers presented a PowerPoint provided by Dr. Kruse announcing that SIU SOM received the 2018 Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation Award for Excellence in Social Mission in Health Professions Education at the Beyond Flexner Alliance Conference in Atlanta on April 9. This annual award recognizes “outstanding leadership in advancing social mission in health professions education.” SIU Medicine won in the category of Institutional Excellence “for its dedication to a social mission, the pursuit of health equity, unwavering commitment to the residents of central and southern Illinois, and continued success in educating caring, compassionate, socially responsible leaders in medicine and health sciences.” She provided an update on the impact of the Enos Park Neighborhood program collaboration with SIU, HSHS St. John’s Hospital, and Memorial Medical Center. Regarding the SIU System Board of Trustees and the submission of bills filed with the IL House of Representatives, Friday, April 20 was the second reading of the proposed bills and Dr. Kruse will continue to keep SIU SOM updated.
7. Student Class Updates
- Mr. Stephenson, Class of 2021, reported that his class is finishing 1st year and is excited to be in Springfield next semester. They really enjoyed the tailgate tent in the fall bringing the students and alumni together.
- Mr. Hancock, Class of 2020, reported the 2nd year curriculum is complete and they will be taking USMLE Step 1; $10,000.00 was raised from their clothing sale; on behalf of the class, he thanked the board for the winter ball contribution and appreciation for the Springfield area alumni/student dinners.
- Mr. Reinholz, Class of 2019, reported clerkships are finished; took the summative CCX exams and currently on the PEP (personalized education plan).
8. **Student Resource Fund Committee Recommendations**
Dr. Joyner reported that the mission of the SRF created in 1997 is to provide a source of money to enhance the student experience by funding educational and social needs that cannot be met through other fund sources to benefit a large number of medical students. Funding comes from alumni gifts. There was discussion re: gaining more attention from the alumni to donate to this fund and marketing of this each year in order to increase this fund as it has not had the funds contributed to it for the last few years as it did in the past. After discussion, the board recommended funding for:
a. YMCA gym premier memberships at $15,500; this includes direct family members living with the student which promotes time with family, access to both locations, fitness classes, health and wellness centers, indoor pools, racquetball courts; indoor track and the gyms for basketball, volleyball, etc., reduced program fees and more (usual individual health center membership costs $750 per person/per year). Student feedback continues to be very favorable and the number of students enrolled and usage information was provided;
b. Subsidy of Student Winter Ball 2019 at the same rate as 2018 of $4,000.
c. $386.97 on K-cups for the students in Carbondale and Springfield.
A motion was made and seconded to approve the recommendations as presented funding a total of $19,866. All approved.
9. **Foundation Update & Activities (attached reports)**
Ms. Powell distributed packets containing Foundation related material (included):
a. SIU Foundation FY18 Fundraising Report Summary as of May 7, 2018 showing Production & Receipts for each SIU college/school;
b. Forever SIU Campaign Report by Transaction Type for each SIU college/school;
c. SIU SOM Alumni Giving Recap for FY2017 & FY2018 reported by class, # of alumni, # of donors, donor participation percentage, giving, # of Harbinger Society members per class, all as of June 30, 2017;
d. FY2017 AAMC Development Survey Fact Sheet;
e. $2300 donated thus far by the Alumni Board;
f. She reported that the committee who determines who receives student scholarships consists of Dr. Constance, Ms. Robbs, two faculty, and the Foundation director.
10. **Future Direction and Mission of the SOM Alumni Society**
Dr. Cavanagh proposed forming a committee to review the bylaws to revisit the mission and vision of the board. The board has discussed areas of alumni fundraising, advocacy, SIU System issues, and requests from alumni such as a Wellness program. Dr. Williamson inquired, “With the status of Illinois, how can SIU SOM survive 10 more years?” adding, “We (the Alumni Board) have to get involved!” Dr. Wichterman raised the recent news reports on splitting up the SIU System, which could split campuses into different schools.
Dr. Williamson also commented about the importance of members of this board leading the way in giving. Dr. Austin noted that if the Board sets a significant threshold, we will exclude young alumni participation on the board. In upd

It is 1.78 acres of land, irregularly shaped as the north and south ends are shallow and similar to a triangle. The parcel/locator numbers are 17-7.0-36-000-015-012, 19.3.0-06-000-000-009, 19-3.0-06-000-000-010, 19-3.0-06000-000-011, 19-3.0-06-000-000-012, 19-3.0-06-000-000-013, 19-3.0-06-000-000-014, and 19-3.0-06-000-000-016.
2. Respondent and BOE. Respondent classified the subject properties as commercial and determined the TVMs on January 1, 2021, as follows: $309,982 for the Ambassador Parcel and $4,980,698 for the other 8 parcels. They were individually valued at $785,009 (Lot 2), $1,262,476 (Lot 3), $774,513 (Lot 4), $518,852 (Lot 5), $928,407 (Lot 6), $503,284 (Lot 7), and $208,157 (Lot 9). The BOE classified the subject properties as commercial and independently determined the TVMs on January 1, 2021, as follows: $309,982 for the Ambassador Parcel and $4,980,698 for the other 8 parcels. They were individually valued at $785,009 (Lot 2), $1,262,476 (Lot 3), $774,513 (Lot 4), $518,852 (Lot 5), $928,407 (Lot 6), $503,284 (Lot 7), and $208,157 (Lot 9).
3. Complainant's Evidence. Complainant submitted Exhibit A, Appraisal Report, and Exhibit B, the written direct testimony (WDT) of Kenneth Jaggers. Complainant presented testimony from two witnesses at the hearing, Mr. Jaggers and Jon Fogerty.
Mr. Jaggers is the Managing Director for JLL Valuation Advisory in Kansas City, Missouri, is a member of the Appraisal Institute, and is a MAI certified appraiser. Utilizing the sales comparison approach, Mr. Jaggers valued the subject properties as follows: $3.50 per square-foot for the Outparcels, totaling $1,609,200, and $2.50 per square-foot for the Ambassador Parcel, totaling $193,600. The income and cost approaches were not utilized.
Mr. Jaggers concluded in his report that the market area around the subject properties is in the growth stage of its life cycle as it experienced recent employment growth, moderate construction activity and a pending KCI airport terminal completion. (Ex. A at 28) Mr. Jaggers concluded in his report that the highest and best use for the subject properties was speculation. (Ex. A) Mr. Jaggers notes in his report that all of the parcels subject to this appeal have been on the market for many years. (Exhibit A)
Mr. Jaggers explained the physical location of the subject properties in his testimony and how access to them is vital to their individual TVMs. He testified the ingress and egress points to the Outparcels were through Sam's Club, an 18.74 acre lot, not owned by Complainant. (Tr. 10:11-12:6) Mr. Jaggers testified that the Outparcels and Sam's Club were platted in 2013 in accordance with a "joint development plan", with Sam's acting as an "anchor tenant". (Tr. 12:10 -13:9) He testified that the "joint development plan" was terminated when Sam's Club abandoned the project and sought to sell their vacant land. (Tr. 10:11-12:6) He further testified that without that anchor, the development plan became obsolete and essentially acted as a barrier to the sale of the Outparcels. (Id.) Mr. Jaggers testified that as of January 1, 2021, no legally permissible or approved ingress or egress access points existed to enter the Outparcels from the main road. (Tr. 37:17-38:9)
Under the sales comparison approach, Mr. Jaggers found four recent comparable sales less than 4 miles away from the subject properties and in the immediate market area of Kansas City. For the Outparcels, Mr. Jaggers testified the comparables were all similar to the subject properties in that they were raw land that needed utilities, ingress and egress, and new site approval. (Tr. 14:24-15:6; Tr. 41:3-17) The price per square-foot for the four sales analyzed ranged from $1.90 to $5.00. (Ex. A at 54) The adjusted range per squarefoot was $2.50 to $4.95, after Mr. Jagger made adjustments for location, access, exposure, shape and topography, and condition(s) of sale. (Ex. A at 54) Mr. Jaggers concluded that the TVM of each Outparcel on a per square-foot basis was $3.50. (Ex. A at 56)
For the Ambassador parcel, which is located in a less active market area and has been on the market for some time, Mr. Jaggers also utilized a price per square-foot range from $1.90 to $5.00. (Ex. A at 47) The adjusted range per square-foot was to $1.88 to $3.38, after Mr. Jagger made adjustments for location, access, exposure, shape and topography, and condition(s) of sale. (Ex. A at 47) Consequently, Mr. Jaggers concluded the TVM of the Ambassador parcel on a per square-foot basis was $2.50. (Ex. A at 49) His report also concludes that Ambassador has no legal access as of January 1, 2021. (Ex. A at 32) In its current platting, being an irregular shape and located on a roundabout, there is no apparent use of Ambassador without grouping with the nearby adjoining tracts, which Mr. Jaggers testified are also for sale. (Ex. A at 36)
Mr. Jaggers testified to a March 2021 letter of intent (LOI) for all of the Outparcels, including Lot 8 which is not subject to this appeal, where the potential buyer offered $1,918,850 or $3.53 per square-foot for the Outparcels. The sale did not occur, but Mr. Jaggers testified that in his opinion, the LOI is still a "good indicator of the potential market of the Outparcels and how the market views the plots". (Tr. 41:3-17)
Jon Forgey is the Senior Vice-President at Security Bank and Secretary/Treasurer of Tiffany Square, Inc. At the hearing, Counsel for Respondent objected to Mr. Forgey's testimony as inadmissible due to the failure of Complainant to list him as a potential witness. Counsel for Complainant argued that Mr. Forgey should be allowed to testify as his testimony is relevant to the content of Mr. Marx's testimony, of which they were unaware of until the hearing, and as his WDT was prefiled, but did not contain the information brought up in the hearing and Mr. Forgey's testimony was being offered as rebuttal to Mr. Marx only. The Senior Hearing Officer issued an interlocutory order allowing Mr. Forgey to testify and a ruling on the testimony's admittance was taken with the case.
In their brief, Complainant argued, the content of Mr. Forgey's testimony "was fully disclosed to Respon

Epson DURABrite Inks are an evolving pigment-based ink technology first introduced in the Epson Stylus C80 ink jet printer. DURABrite Inks are optimized for plain and matte papers, yet the newest formulation of DURABrite Inks (currently featured in the Epson Stylus C66/C86/CX4600/CX6600) adds improved printing on glossy papers—especially on the new DURABrite Ink Glossy Photo Paper. DURABrite Inks are featured in the Epson printers and all-in-ones designed for dedicated productivity.
DURABrite Inks are water-, smudge-, and fade-resistant on all supported papers—plain, matte, and glossy. They are the ideal solution for printing everyday text and image documents, yet also offer the flexibility to print photos. DURABrite Inks are useful where high quality, long-lasting output is desired.
This technical brief will provide detailed information on the goals and advantages of DURABrite Inks.
Goals of DURABrite Inks
DURABrite Inks are comprised of pigment-based inks. The goal of DURABrite Inks is to provide superb print quality, water-resistance, and fade-resistance on a variety of media, including plain paper. The key differences among conventional pigment ink, conventional dye ink, and DURABrite Inks are:
Advantages of DURABrite Inks—Wide Media Selection
DURABrite Inks are optimized for plain and matte papers, yet also produce quality results on glossy papers. The newest formulation of DURABrite Inks produces improved output on glossy papers with the use of black ink in addition to the three color inks. Epson's new DURABrite Ink Glossy Photo Paper is specifically optimized for use with DURABrite Inks and delivers long-lasting color prints that are resistant to smudging and fading.
DURABrite Inks are compatible with a variety of papers, including 1:
| Matte Surface Papers | Glossy Surface Papers |
|---|---|
| • Plain Paper • Epson Premium Bright White Paper • Epson Photo Quality Ink Jet Paper • Epson Matte Paper Heavyweight • Epson Double-Sided Matte Paper | • Epson DURABrite Ink Glossy Photo Paper • Epson Glossy Photo Paper • Epson Premium Semigloss Photo Paper Note: The Epson Premium Glossy Photo Paper is not compatible with DURABrite Inks |
Advantages of DURABrite Inks—Durable Output
With its special formulation of pigment inks, DURABrite Inks offer water-, smudge-, and fade-resistance on all supported papers, including plain paper. They have greater durability properties than conventional dye-based inks.
1. Water- and Smudge-Resistant Prints: Conventional dye-based inks are comprised of color-forming molecules that are absorbed into the paper or captured in the coating of RC (Resin Coated) papers, much like a watercolor paint. DURABrite Inks consist of insoluble pigment particles, much like an oil paint, that "rest" on the paper's surface. Although conventional dye-based inks are water-resistant on specific glossy photo papers, they do not have water-resistance on matte papers. DURABrite Ink is water-resistant on glossy, matte, and even plain papers:
Conventional Dye-Based Ink
DURABrite Inks
Conventional dye-based ink particles are absorbed into the fibers of plain paper and are soluble in water.
The water- and smudge-resistant properties of DURABrite inks prevent accidental damage caused by moisture and spills. Many competitive printers use a water-resistant pigment black, but DURABrite Inks are the only ink system that is pigment-based for black and color printing.
With competitors' inks, only black is water-resistant
DURABrite Inks have water-resistant properties for black and color
2. Fade-Resistant Prints: DURABrite Inks are faderesistant 2 , so cherished photos and important documents will stand up to harsh outdoor sun or indoor lighting. What's more, DURABrite Inks have high fade resistance even on plain paper.
With pigment-based DURABrite Ink, even if the outer surface fades, color remains within the particle
Advantages of DURABrite Inks—Great for Text Documents and Photos
The newest formulation of DURABrite Ink uses an exclusive technology where each pigment particle is encapsulated in a resin. A unique polymer pulls the particles apart so they are suspended in the solution and never coagulate. The ink base then helps the DURABrite Ink pigment particles penetrate into the paper.
Using this technology, DURABrite Inks have several benefits for text printing:
1. Extra-sharp text and graphics, especially on plain paper: Because conventional dye-based ink acts much like a watercolor paint, its molecules are absorbed into plain paper. The spread of ink into the paper's fibers is known as feathering or dot gain. When printing on RC papers, dot gain of conventional dye-based inks is controlled because the coating catches each ink droplet.
DURABrite Inks' pigment particles "rest" near the surface of the paper and are not absorbed into the fibers like conventional dye inks. As a result, DURABrite Inks have a much smaller spot size than dye-based inks and text printing will be especially sharp:
With the same size ink droplet, DURABrite Inks have a smaller spread into the fibers of plain paper than dye inks
Conventional Dye Ink Text
2. Double-Sided prints without bleed-through: DURABrite Inks use a special technology that controls the penetration level of the ink and keeps the colorant near the surface. Additionally, output on plain and matte papers is optimized with a higher optical density.
3. Brighter colors: DURABrite Ink uses an innovative formulation of color inks, producing brighter output on plain, matte, and glossy paper.

and graphics
While DURABrite Inks produce excellent text and everyday documents, they also have the flexibility to print photos:
1. High quality, long-lasting output: DURABrite Inks deliver long-lasting water-, smudge, and fade-resistant prints ideal for printing cherished photos. The best papers for printing photos with DURABrite Inks (listed in order) are 3 :
DURABrite Inks have the flexibility to print photos on plain, matte, and glossy papers
* Epson Matte Paper Heavyweight
* Epson DURABrite Ink Glossy Photo Paper
* Epson Glossy Photo Paper
* Epson Premium Bright White Paper
* Plain paper
2. Epson core printing technologies: Printers featuring DURABrite Inks use the Epson core printing technologies which combine high resolution and small variable-sized ink droplets to precisely print crisp details in photos as
well as producing improved color range and accuracy. Plus, the newest printers with DURABrite Inks feature BorderFree printing, making it easy to produce full-bleed snapshots right out of the printer—without trimming or perforations.
Advantages of DURABrite Inks—Low Cost of Ownership
DURABrite Inks offer low cost of ownership with:
Excellent output on plain papers—Because you don't have to use specialty papers to obtain the best print quality, DURABrite Inks offer convenience and cost savings. DURABrite Inks also offer the flexibility of printing on matte, glossy, and semi-glossy papers.
High-yield, individual ink cartridges—Individual ink cartridges let you replace only the ink that has run dry. If you print large print runs or presentations that use primarily one or two colors, you will see a great cost savings. When comparing printers, remember to consider both the cost and the yield of the ink cartridges—lower cost cartridges with lower yields can be much more expensive to use over the long term.
Summary
Epson DURABrite Inks combine the durability qualities of pigment ink with the color qualities similar to dye inks to produce:
Water-, smudge-, and fade-resistant prints, even on plain paper
Optimization for plain and matte papers with quality results on glossy papers
Sharp, dark text printing without feathering
With high-quality, durable output, DURABrite Inks are the ideal choice for printing reports, web pages, greeting cards, presentations, report covers, resumes, me

Over the last 18 months, monetary policymakers across the world have raised interest rates by cumulatively large amounts in a synchronous fashion. In this issue of *Infocus* EFG chief economist Stefan Gerlach looks at the data and analyses the frequency and step sizes of the hikes and reaches some interesting conclusions.
In the last year or two, central banks across the world have raised interest rates. Because these rate increases have been very large, have been adopted by so many central banks and have occurred almost simultaneously, this is arguably one of the most dramatic periods of monetary policy tightening in history.
Inflation rates far above central banks’ targets were responsible for driving these rate increases. Since monetary policy impacts the economy with long lags and these rate increases occurred relatively recently, it is too early to see a definitive response in the inflation data. However, it is informative nonetheless to review this episode of monetary tightening to see what we can learn from it.
There are many obvious questions. For instance, how much have central banks raised rates? How many times have they increased them? Have they proceeded at about the same pace, per increase or on average per month?
Of course, different groups of central banks have behaved differently. For instance, Latin American central banks started tightening monetary policy earlier than other central banks and did so even more dramatically. Here we focus on a set of nine central banks (in what the IMF would refer to as) advanced economies which responded, as shown below, in broadly similar ways.
In Figure 1, we look at perhaps the two most important central banks: the Federal Reserve (Fed) and the European Central Bank (ECB); four in English-speaking economies: the Bank of England (BoE), Bank of Canada (BoC), Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) and the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ); and three smaller European central banks: the Swiss National Bank (SNB), the Norwegian Norges Bank (NB) and the Swedish Riksbank (RB).
**Characteristics of this tightening cycle**
Figure 1 shows these banks’ policy rates, starting from the end of the month before they adopted the first interest rate increase in the current episode. Several interesting observations can be made based on the data in the graph.
Most obviously, these central banks started raising interest rates at different points in time, ranging from September 2021 to July 2022. Those that started first increased interest rates slowly, before taking larger steps.
They also started from different levels, ranging from -0.75% to 0.25%. Those central banks that first started to raise rates did so from positive levels (except for Norges Bank, which started at zero). Those that started last, the SNB and the ECB (for which we use the deposit rate which served as the ECB’s de facto policy rate in recent years), started from below zero. This suggests that the countries starting from negative interest rates had experienced stronger-than-average deflationary pressures.
The number of interest rate increases also differs among central banks. While the Bank of England has raised interest rates 12 times, the Swiss National Bank has only done so four times.
There are also large differences among central banks regarding how much they have raised interest rates. While the Federal Reserve and the Reserve Bank of New Zealand have raised...
rates by 500 bps (or 5 %), the Swiss National Bank has merely raised them by 2.25%.
5. Cumulative increase in interest rates (%)
| | RBNZ | Fed | BoC | BoE | RBA | ECB | RB | NB | SNB |
|-------|------|------|------|------|------|------|------|------|------|

Source: EFG calculations on data from BIS and central bank websites, data as at 17 May 2023.
It is also interesting to look at the average ‘step size’, that is, the cumulative increase in interest rates divided by number of interest rate increases. Six of the central banks have taken steps on average of between 45-58 bps, while the remaining three have taken average steps of between 33-37 bps.
6. Average step size (basis points)

Source: EFG calculations on data from BIS and central bank websites, data as at 17 May 2023.
The ‘speed’ at which they have raised interest rates, measured as the cumulative change interest rates divided by the number of months they have been raising rates, can also be computed. These speeds are broadly similar, ranging from 38 bps per month for the ECB to 16 bps per month for the Norges Bank.

Source: EFG calculations on data from BIS and central bank websites, data as at 17 May 2023.
What can be learnt about central bank interest rate setting?
Looking at these characteristics one by one provides no information on how they are related. For instance, have central banks that raised interest rates from lower levels taken larger steps? Is there an inverse relationship between step size and number of occasions a central bank has raised interest rates?
8. Correlations (significant at 10% level)
| | Months since start | Starting level | Number of increases | Cumulative change | Step size | Speed |
|--------------------------|--------------------|---------------|---------------------|-------------------|-----------|-------|
| Months since start | | | | | | |
| Starting level | 0.6 | 1 | | | | |
| Number of increases | 0.7 | 0.7 | 1 | | | |
| Cumulative change | | | | 0.7 | 1 | |
| Step size | -0.6 | | | -0.8 | | 1 |
| Speed | | | | | | 1 |
Source: EFG calculations on data from BIS and central bank websites, data as at 17 May 2023.
To understand these issues better, it is useful to look at the correlations between the characteristics discussed above (see Figure 8). To focus on the important relationships, only correlations that are statistically significant are indicated.
Figure 8 leads to several conclusions:
• Central banks that started early tended to start from a higher level, have raised interest rates more often and by cumulatively more, but took smaller steps.
• The speed at which they raised rates did not vary with these other characteristics.
Conclusions
These data show that there was natural ordering between central banks in terms of their propensity to raise interest rates. Those that felt the greatest need started early and did so from a relatively high level, increased rates many times and by cumulatively large amounts, but took smaller steps. However, the speeds at which they did so varied little among them, implying that the frequency of interest rate increases and the choice of step size offset each other.
The Bank of England had the greatest propensity to raise interest rates, followed, in declining order, by the Reserve Bank of Australia, Norges Bank, the Federal Reserve, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, the Bank of Canada, the Riksbank, the European Central Bank and the Swiss National Bank.
A key question investors ask is whether this dynamic will work also in reverse. While history does not repeat itself, it is a plausible hypothesis that it will. If that happens, the central banks that led the process of raising rates may be among the first to cut them. Time will tell.
---
1 The significant level is 10%.
2 The conclusions in this and the next paragraph follows from applying principal components analysis to the data and ordering the central banks according to the first principal component.

RUNNING WITH GIANTS #5
Moses, Peter & Jesus Life Group Notes
CONNECT QUESTIONS
If you could have any one super power – what would you choose?
Have you ever re-gifted something – what was it and did you get away with it?
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Joshua 23:14 MSG “As you can see, I’m about to go the way we all end up going. Know this with all your heart, with everything in you, that not one detail has failed of all the good things God, your God, promised you. It has all happened. Nothing’s left undone—not so much as a word.
This verse reminds us of the faithfulness of God – be encouraged – not one thing he has promised will be left undone – God will complete the work He has begun in your life!
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Pastor Ric and Marissa have just returned from time in New York – and Ps Ric was sharing about the enormity of the city (8.5 million people) and the incredible weight of humanity. We know God hears our prayers, and just how miraculous this is was magnified amongst so many people. In the face of such big crowds, the questions were asked – How will I be heard? What difference can I make? We may feel small or insignificant compared to the world, or to the giants of faith in the Bible – but the reality is – God wants to connect with us!
How is your connection with God at the moment? Is your connection 2-way? We can also have incredible encounters with God – its all about daily choices and staying in faith!
_____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________
Moses had an incredible connection with God – he was face to face with God 80 days up a mountain – yet Moses missed out on entering the promised land – Check out Deuteronomy 32:50-52. Why do you think Moses was disqualified from entering the land?
_____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________
Moses assumed his calling would fix his character! Moses was rejected throughout his life, and this resulted in anger – and his lack of control stopped him from entering into all that God had for him. What is that thing deep in your life that will stop you from entering into all that God has for you?
_____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________
The good news is that God is LOVE! He loves us and wants to redeem those areas of our lives that might otherwise hold us back. He is all about character development. Consider Peter – a disciple of Jesus who the day before Jesus was arrested declared he would never leave him. When Jesus was arrested, Peter was fearful and ended up denying he knew Him. Jesus made a way back for Peter (and he makes a way back for us to! Check out John 21:15-17 . Jesus didn’t ask Peter if he had repented, or spent time feeling sorry – he asked Peter if he loved him! Why do you think this was the most important question?
_____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________
Perfect love casts out all fear! When we truly open our hearts and both love God and trust Him with all that we are – we are filled with His power – Check out John 14:26. Do you completely trust the Holy Spirit?
_____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________
Read Revelation 3:19-21 . Our times are in God’s hands – as we love Him wholeheartedly He will give us the desires of our hearts! The power of the Holy Spirit is available to us so we can live as Jesus did! How will you step out in faith today?
_____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________
PRAYER
Pray that we would have strong connections with God and live as Jesus did – stepping out in faith.
Pray for any areas of your life that need some character development – and thank God for his love in the journey of growth!

ABSTRACT
Researchers have developed interaction concepts based on mobile projectors. Yet pursuing work in this area – particularly in applying projector-based techniques within an application – is a cumbersome and time-consuming. To mitigate this problem, we generalize existing interaction techniques using mobile projectors. First, we identified five interaction primitives that serve as building blocks for a large set of applications. Second, these primitives were used to derive a set of principles that inform the design of a toolkit that ease and support software development for mobile projectors. Finally, we implemented these principles in a toolkit, called ProjectorKit, which we contribute to the community as a flexible open-source platform.

INTRODUCTION
In recent years, small mobile projectors have been increasingly used as an input / output device, where their position in the 3D physical environment affects how the interface responds. The problem is that today's user interface programming tools are typically optimized for 2D GUIs, which does not map well to the 3D projection environment. Using mobile projectors as part of an interface require a different set of development tools, including functionality that reacts to the projector position and that correctly projects its scene on a physical surface. Because there is a lack of tools, interactive applications for mobile projectors are typically developed from scratch – a time-consuming and complex task. While some toolkits for developing 3D real-world interfaces are emerging [5], they do not yet offer support for mobile projection.
To remedy this problem, we pursued the goal of developing a toolkit that simplifies how interaction designers and researchers can rapid prototype applications incorporating mobile projectors. We began by analyzing prior work in the area, where we identified five conceptual interaction primitives with mobile projectors. In turn, we derive a set of generic design principles for such toolkits, which address fundamental projection challenges that underlie all applications. We also present a general set of semantically meaningful events that encapsulate interactive functionality. Finally, we implemented these principles as the opensource ProjectorKit. Details are described below.
INTERACTION PRIMITIVES OF MOBILE PROJECTIONS
We began by analyzing prior research on mobile projector interaction, where our goal was to identify a set of common interactions. Our set is largely inspired from [7], yet focuses on activities to yield primitives that can be operationalized as design principles of the toolkit.
Project. The most basic purpose of a projector is to project content onto a surface, where projection is constrained and bound by how the user is holding it. Ideally, projection creates a display on any surface and at variable sizes, where it is typically visible to multiple people. For example, a user may project pictures or movies onto a wall to show them to friends. Projectors can move, and this can be used as a form of input. For example, the projector's motion can influence the projected content as a motion beam [9] to steer a virtual character.
Augment. Projectors can also serve to augment real-world objects by projecting additional digital information onto them. Virtual contents are bound to the real-world object (projection mapping), where content is revealed when the user projects onto the object(s). For example, a mobile projection could show up-to-date information on a flight ticket, such as the expected delay of the flight [6].
Select. The projector can act as a selection device, i.e., where the user can select a virtual item to perform an activity bound to that item. For example, selecting a virtual button can trigger an event. Selection can be performed in various ways: by targeting with the projector [1, 8]; by directly touching a portion of the projection surface [10]; or by interacting in the light beam [3].
Command. People want to interact with the shown information by executing commands. Examples include zooming, rotating, and moving content. Those commands can be executed through item selection, as described above, or with gestures, which are performed with the projector or the object that is projected upon [4].
Share. Sharing allows multiple users to combine and exchange information. For example, two people can overlap two projections of calendar events to merge them, or use overlap to swap pictures in a shared workspace [2].
TOOLKIT DESIGN PRINCIPLES
We then used these five interaction primitives to derive a set of design principles that would ultimately inform the design of our toolkit. The first two encapsulate the base functionality for a projection's visual appearance. The last three define a projection's interactive behavior as three fundamental events.
Handling a Projection's Visual Appearance
Project: Correcting for Jitter and Keystone Effects. Because of their portable nature, mobile projections suffer from two fundamental effects that impact the image quality. (1) Jitter occurs due to the natural hand tremor. (2) Keystone effects appear when the axis of projection is not perpendicular to the projection surface. To counter this (and thus improve a projection's image quality), a toolkit should automatically remove jitter by stabilizing the image and remove keystone effects by warping the image (Figure 1a).
represented in a 3D world. That is, correct imagery can be calculated from their respective poses and by 3D raytracing (Figure 1b).
The low level programming to perform both of the above is complex. Thus a toolkit should include this low-level functionality, where it is presented as an abstraction layer to ease implementation. For example, through automated projection mapping, developers should be able to easily bind textures onto real-world objects. The toolkit itself would then automatically render and project that texture correctly from the projector's perspective.
Select: Hotspot and Targeting Events
Hotspot and targeting events are a semantically meaningful abstraction layer for the "selection" interaction primitive, where can be implemented using proxemic properties.
Augment: Automated Mapping of Projection. Mobile projectors can be used to augment real-world objects. Such augmentation requires that projections are correctly shown on their surfaces, i.e. by mapping them as virtual textures onto them. At the same time, these textures should remain correctly positioned, regardless of the projector's movement (which will change the spatial relationship between the projector and that object). Implementing such functionality requires both objects and the projector to be
Hotspots define an interactive area on a visual texture (Figure 1c, top). Hotspot areas are activated when they are fully or partially inside the projection. If a hotspot area is activated by the projection, a corresponding event is triggered. This allows application developers to easily implement interactive behaviors on projected textures, e.g. a button, a menu item or animations that start when the object is in the projection.
In contrast, a targeting event te

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN AND AMONG THE SOUTH COAST AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT DISTRICT, THE CITY OF LONG BEACH AND THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES REGARDING THE SAN PEDRO BAY PORTS' 2017 CLEAN AIR ACTION PLAN UPDATE
This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is entered into by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (South Coast AQMD), the City of Long Beach, acting by and through the Long Beach Board of Harbor Commissioners (Long Beach), and the City of Los Angeles, acting by and through the Los Angeles Board of Harbor Commissioners (Los Angeles). Long Beach and Los Angeles shall be referred to collectively herein as the Cities. The Cities and South Coast AQMD shall be referred to collectively as Parties (each a Party) to this MOU.
I. RECITALS
A. Air Regulatory Agencies. Air pollution remains a significant public health concern in many parts of California, and specifically in the South Coast Air Basin (Basin). The South Coast AQMD, California Air Resources Board (CARB), and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) are the regional, state, and federal regulatory agencies, respectively, with jurisdiction over air quality in the Basin. South Coast AQMD and CARB have developed and approved the 2016 Air Quality Management Plan (2016 AQMP) for the Basin and USEPA has incorporated the AQMP into the California State Implementation Plan (SIP).
B. South Coast AQMD. The South Coast AQMD is the regional air pollution control agency primarily responsible for reducing air pollution in the Basin, which consists of the County of Orange, and the non-desert portions of the Counties of Los Angeles, Riverside, and San Bernardino. The Basin includes the San Pedro Bay Ports (Ports).
C. Need for Emission Reductions. The Basin is classified as an extreme nonattainment area for the 1997 and 2008 8-hour ozone national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) with statutory deadlines to reach attainment by 2023 and 2032, respectively. Despite significant air quality improvements achieved over the last several decades, to meet these standards, emissions of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) have to be reduced by a further 45% in 2023 and 55% in 2031 as outlined in the 2016 AQMP. The 2016 AQMP includes Control Measure MOB-01 (Emission Reductions at Commercial Marine Ports) with the goal of achieving emission reductions from marine ports through implementation of CAAP strategies.
D. Cities. The Ports are comprised of two adjacent ports: the Port of Long Beach owned by Long Beach and the Port of Los Angeles owned by Los Angeles. The Cities independently manage the Ports as separate and distinct legal and commercial entities under statutory grants of tidelands from the California state legislature and are under legal mandate to use Port assets and funds per statutory
requirements, including promoting maritime commerce, navigation, fishery, and water-dependent recreation.
E. Emissions from maritime industry-related mobile sources operating at the Ports. The maritime industry-related mobile sources operating at the Ports represent a significant source of NOx emissions in the Basin because of their use of drayage trucks, cargo handling equipment, ocean-going vessels, harbor craft, and rail locomotives. These operations accounted for 9.3% of total NOx emissions in the Basin based on the 2018 Port emissions inventory reports by the Cities and their contribution to the basin-wide emissions is expected to increase in future years based on the latest cargo growth forecasts. Because of the large contribution from the maritime industry-related mobile sources to the Basin's emissions and regional air quality, additional NOx emission reductions from these sources are critical for demonstrating attainment of the ozone standards in 2023 and 2031.
F. San Pedro Bay Ports Clean Air Action Plan
1. In 2006, the Cities approved the San Pedro Bay Ports Clean Air Action Plan (CAAP), a comprehensive strategy for dramatically reducing air pollution emissions from cargo movement (ships, heavy-duty trucks, cargo handling equipment, harbor craft and rail) in and around the Ports. The Ports updated the CAAP in 2010 with new strategies and emission-reduction targets including health risk reduction.
2. The CAAP has been very successful at facilitating emission reductions from the maritime industry-related mobile sources. Combined emissions associated with these sources at the Ports achieved an 87% reduction in diesel particulate matter (DPM), 60% reduction in nitrogen oxides (NOx) and 98% reduction in sulfur oxides (SOx) between 2005 and 2018. While these reductions are impressive and laudable, the Cities and South Coast AQMD agree that more effort is needed to continue to reduce emissions further.
3.
In November 2017, the Cities approved an update to the CAAP (2017 CAAP Update), with 14 strategies including Clean Vehicles and Equipment Technology and Fuels, Freight Infrastructure Investment and Planning, Freight Efficiency, and Energy Resource Planning. The 2017 CAAP Update was guided by California's Sustainable Freight Action Plan and its zeroemissions and freight efficiency targets, as well as new greenhouse gas reduction targets set by the State of California. The 2017 CAAP Update did not predict the emission benefits associated with implementation of CAAP strategies in the Basin but included initial planning estimates of emission benefits for some of the CAAP strategies for drayage trucks and cargo handling equipment. South Coast AQMD and the Cities agree that the 2017 CAAP Update and this MOU are voluntary and not regulatory in nature.
G. Purpose of MOU
1. The purpose of this MOU is to set forth how the Parties, consistent with their respective legal authorities, intend to coordinate and cooperate to further South Coast AQMD's efforts to quantify the emission reduction benefits in the Basin anticipated to occur through the implementation of strategies developed by the Cities under the 2017 CAAP Update.
2. The MOU establishes metrics for quantification of emission benefits or specific commitments associated with implementation of CAAP strategies as set forth in the attached schedules 1 through 5 for each emissions source category addressed by the 2017 CAAP Update, including heavyduty trucks (HDT), cargo handling equipment (CHE), ocean-going vessels (OGV), harbor craft (HC) and rail locomotives (Rail), consistent with the 2023 and 2031 dates for attainment of the ozone standards.
3. The emission reduction benefits for CAAP strategies will be credited into the SIP to the extent they meet USEPA's integrity elements (i.e., quantifiable, surplus, permanent, and enforceable) and the SIP submittal includes an enforceable commitment by South Coast AQMD to USEPA, a demonstration of funding and legal authority, technical analysis, procedures for public disclosure of information, and provisions to measures and track programmatic results.
4. The Parties specifically disavow any desire or intention to create any thirdparty beneficiary under this MOU, and specifically declare that no person or entity shall have any remedy or right of enforcement.
H. MOU Public Process
1. Following the adoption of the 2016 AQMP, South Coast AQMD staff held a series of public working group meetings to solicit comments on implementing Control Measure MOB-01 for marine ports. Based on input received during the public process, South Coast AQMD staff developed a recommendation for the South Coast AQMD's Governing Board's consideration for the development of a Marine Ports Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Cities, based on implementation of CAAP measures by the Cities, and exploration of new joint incentive strategies for ocean-going vessels subject to Cities' jurisdiction and discretionary decisions. In the event that the MOU approach with the Ports is not successful, South Coast AQMD staff also recommended seeking direction from the South Coast AQMD Governing Board regarding the pursuit of a re

At the Forest Refuge...
Exploring Freedom
A retreat at the Forest Refuge facilitates the natural emergence of wisdom and compassion. Within a tranquil and harmonious environment that includes private dormitory accommodations, experienced insight meditators can follow their own schedule, settle into greater depths of practice and strengthen faith and self-reliance.
Financial Assistance
For those whose financial circumstances might otherwise prevent their participation, a number of 'You Choose' fee spaces are available for a Forest Refuge personal retreat of fourteen nights or longer. Awards are made on a firstcome, first-served basis and a minimum fee of $10 per night is required.
If your work in the US or overseas has helped transform the lives of economically disadvantaged people, you may be eligible for a full scholarship to practice at the Forest Refuge, thanks to its Fund in Support of Community Development Work.
Examples of this kind of work include curing blindness by providing cataract operations, developing projects to assist those on low incomes, counseling former prisoners, or teaching inner-city children. Please mention this fund when you apply for a Forest Refuge stay, if you have done such work.
Welcoming Asian Sayadaws
In 2009, IMS will host two senior Asian meditation masters at the Forest Refuge. Burmese teacher Sayadaw U Tejaniya will be in residence May 24 – June 14. He began his Buddhist training as a young teenager under the late Shwe Oo Min Sayadaw. Twelve years ago, following life as a householder with a business career, he ordained as a monk. His earlier householder experience has given him rare insight into the challenges faced by lay practitioners.
Vietnamese monk Bhante Khippapanno will offer the dharma for the month of July, 2009. Also mentored by Shwe Oo Min Sayadaw, Bhante has a gentle teaching style that emphasizes a relaxed and open awareness of the acti
AHNA FENDER
AHNA FENDER
We learn to understand more about the constituents of this mind and body energy field. How does it work during certain times of the day or during a particular time in our life? How can we apply this understanding and make best use of it on a personal retreat?
We learn to be more accepting of how our practice is naturally unfolding. We learn not to push or strive, but to keep a gentle continuity of awareness even through these difficult times.
Can you give us some examples?
We may start to notice that there are times when the mind is clearer and more alert, and that our practice naturally rolls along. At those times, we can sit for longer periods with a balance of concentration and energy supporting a continuity of mindfulness.
At the other end of the spectrum, we may discover there are periods when our minds are not as clear. Perhaps the body doesn't have as much energy, or there is a challenge with pain.
Making use of energy when it's available and learning from when it's not are both parts of the strengthening of confidence in our practice.
Why is this confidence so important?
Confidence in our ability to be truly mindful brings a deepening commitment to steadiness in our practice. This allows the flowering of interest, energy and a fulfilling joy to simply be with the truth of whatever is happening. Along with tranquility, concentration and equanimity, these give rise to the fruit of liberating insight. I have great respect for the role
of confidence in our spiritual journey. As a teacher, one of my aims is to nurture this growing confidence, and to encourage yogis to respect it for themselves.
Through this confidence, we can more easily connect with a profound innate wisdom. Whenever yogis express this wisdom in their own unique ways, I am deeply moved. It's not my wisdom. It's not even the Buddha's wisdom. It's the yogis' own wisdom, and it can be tremendously empowering and freeing for them to experience the flowering and fruit of their practice.
See our website and pages 16-17 for the Forest Refuge teaching schedule and further information. Kamala also teaches each year at the Retreat Center with her husband, Steve Armstrong — see pages 18-19.
At the Retreat Center...
The 2009 Retreat Center schedule includes many short courses, such as weekends and five-day retreats, in addition to opportunities for longer practice periods. This allows those with family and work commitments, for whom extended practice time is rare, the chance to experience the benefits of meditation, silence and tranquility.
An exploration of love and wisdom as paths to profound acceptance and peace will be offered by Rebecca Bradshaw in another five-day retreat, April 24-29. This will be followed by Relaxed Openness: Embodying Presence, May 2-10, taught by Yanai Postelnik, Myoshin Kelley and Patricia GenoudFeldman.
Some highlights include a seven-day retreat led by Phillip Moffitt that will focus on the Twelve Insights of the Four Noble Truths, February 13-20. Howard Cohn and Sharda Rogell will teach a five-day course, The Buddha's Way to Happiness, April 10-15.
A Two-Month Retreat, with one-month partials, will replace the traditional Three-Month Retreat in 2009. Dates are September 26 – November 21.
See our website and pages 18-26 for the full 2009 Retreat Center schedule and course information.

The other day I came across these amusing short prayers put together by little children.
"Dear God, maybe Cain and Abel would not hate each other so much if they had their own rooms. It works with my brother – sincerely Larry"
"Dear God, we learned at school that Edison made light. But in our R.E. lesson they said that you did it. So I bet he stole your idea. Sincerely, Donna.
Dear God, thank you for the baby brother but what I prayed for was a puppy - Joyce
St Theresa was once asked to put into a sentence what she thought holiness to be. She said, "holiness was a disposition of the heart which makes us humble and childlike in the hands of God, conscious of our own weakness, but confident to the point of boldness in the goodness our Heavenly Father". She must have been inspired by today's gospel passage.
She saw as the surest way to Heaven what she called, 'spiritual childhood'. Just as small children rely exclusively on their parents or guardians, so we should have that same unbounded trust in God. When putting everything into His safe hands, especially things which worry us a lot, there should be no hesitation at all on our part that He will look after us.
Little children don't worry about where the next meal is coming from or whether they will have a bed for the night. Neither do they dwell on the past or fret about the future but live in the present. If we did the same vis-à-vis our Heavenly Father a lot of our worries would dissolve into thin air. Nothing would get to us. Jesus tells us "Do not worry about what you are to eat or drink or wear, or how you look or what people think of you – it is the pagans of this world who have set their heart on these things".
The first Reading mentions the godless. The problem with them is that they have no Heavenly Father to trust in. Sigmund Freud believed that God is figment of our imagination. God is just our conceptual longing for a heavenly father who doesn't exist. He is an imaginary being we wish were there, to protect us the way our earthly father did when we were children. For him God is like a father for childish adults, so to speak.
Unbelievers often disparage people who believe by trying to undermine their faith and trust in a Heavenly Father. They tell them to grow up and live in the real world. This point is also brought out in the First reading as follows: "let us lie in wait for the religious man or woman since they annoy us".
To shake our faith some people dismissively say that religion is the underlying cause of conflict in our world. St James tells us today that's not true. He says "the wisdom that comes down from above", that is from Our Heavenly father, "makes for peace, is kindly and considerate, is full of compassion and shows itself by doing good".
If we adopt a childlike stance before God, the wisdom which we receive from above will indeed take precedence over our own limited perception of things and set us on the road to authentic holiness.

GOVERNOR'S EXECUTIVE ORDER N-25-20**** CORONAVIRUS COVID-19
On March 17, 2020, the Governor of California issued Executive Order N-29-20 suspending certain provisions of the Ralph M. Brown Act in order to allow for local legislative bodies to conduct their meetings telephonically or by other electronic means. Pursuant to the CDC's social distancing guidelines which discourage large public gatherings, the Board of Directors of the San Bruno Community Foundation is now holding meetings via Zoom.
If you would like to make a Public Comment on an item not on the agenda, or comment on a particular agenda item, you may address the Council orally during the meeting, or you may email us at [email protected]. The length of all emailed comments should be commensurate with the three minutes customarily allowed per speaker, which is approximately 300 words total. Emails received before the special or regular meeting start time will be forwarded to the Foundation Board of Directors, posted on the Foundation's website and will become part of the public record for that meeting. If emailed comments are received after the meeting start time, or after the meeting ends, they will be forwarded to the Foundation Board of Directors and filed with the agenda packet becoming part of the public record for that meeting.
Individuals who require special assistance of a disability-related modification or accommodation to participate in this meeting, or who have a disability and wish to request an alternative format for the agenda, agenda packet or other writings that may be distributed at the meeting, should contact Melissa Thurman, City Clerk 48 hours prior to the meeting at (650) 619-7070 or by email at [email protected]. Notification in advance of the meeting will enable the San Bruno Community Foundation to make reasonable arrangements to ensure accessibility to this meeting, the materials related to it, and your ability to comment.

Memorandum
DATE:
July 26, 2021
TO:
Board of Directors, San Bruno Community Foundation
FROM: Leslie Hatamiya, Executive Director
SUBJECT:
Resolution Appointing Members to the San Bruno Community Foundation Board Nomination Ad Hoc Committee
At the end of this year, three current members of the San Bruno Community Foundation's Board of Directors will be concluding their second terms on the Board (and terming out) and one Board member will be completing his first full term on the Board. Under the Foundation's Bylaws, the San Bruno City Council designates the Foundation's Board members. In 2019, the last time the Foundation had open seats on the Board, the Foundation evaluated applicants seeking to serve on the Board and recommended to the Council three individuals for appointment, which the Council then approved without doing its own review.
This year, the City Manager has sought to incorporate the SBCF Board appointment process into the Council's broad Policies and Procedures document. The Council has been working on this document for a number of months and still has a few remaining issues to be resolved before the whole document is approved, but the Council has already agreed upon the SBCF Board appointment process. This process will consist of two steps: First, an ad hoc committee consisting of two Councilmembers and two SBCF Board members (named the "San Bruno Community Foundation Board Nomination Ad Hoc Committee") will agree upon the announcement brochure and application, which the City Clerk's office will distribute, and then review applications, conduct interviews, and make a recommendation to the City Council. Then, the City Council will receive the joint committee's recommendation, decide on its review process, which could include interviewing the recommended slate or other applicants, and then make its appointments to the Foundation Board.
At the July 28, 2021, special meeting, the Board will consider the attached resolution appointing President Emily Roberts and Board Members Malissa Netane-Jones to the San Bruno Community Foundation Board Nomination Ad Hoc Committee. The ad hoc committee is expected to have its first meeting the week of August 9, 2021, and release the announcement regarding the application process shortly thereafter. The City Council expects to make the appointments to the Board in late November or early December.

WHEREAS, under Article V, Section 5 of the Bylaws, the San Bruno City Council shall designate all Foundation Board members;
WHEREAS, the San Bruno City Council has created the San Bruno Community Foundation Board Nomination Ad Hoc Committee, charged with reviewing applications from individuals seeking to serve on the Board, interviewing candidates, and recommending a list of finalists to the City Council; and
WHEREAS, the San Bruno Community Foundation Board Nomination Ad Hoc Committee shall consist of two members of the San Bruno City Council and two members of the Foundation Board of Directors.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Directors appoints President Emily Roberts and Board Member Malissa Netane-Jones as the Foundation's two representatives on the San Bruno Community Foundation Board Nomination Ad Hoc Committee.

1) Trapping rodents
A Baraisa gives examples of the normal way to trap rodents and the unusual way to trap rodents.
Another Baraisa limits the requirement to trap rodents in an unusual fashion to a grain field near a city, rather than one near a tree field.
2) Repairing a fence
R’ Yosef and a Baraisa suggest different methods of closing a break in a fence.
R’ Chisda asserts that it is only the wall of a garden that has the restriction against rebuilding the breach, but the wall of a courtyard may be repaired in the normal manner.
The Gemara suggests a proof to this assertion but it is rejected.
A second version of this discussion is presented wherein the Baraisa is cited, unsuccessfully, as a challenge to R’ Chisda’s assertion.
R’ Ashi cites our Mishnah as support for R’ Chisda.
3) MISHNAH: A dispute is presented regarding the parameters of a kohen examining tzara’as blemishes on Chol Hamoed.
4) Clarifying the Mishnah
A Baraisa presents a more detailed account of the dispute in the Mishnah.
Rava limits the dispute to examining one who is at the end of his second confinement, and he identifies the point of dispute.
A contradiction is noted regarding which opinion Rebbi follows.
The Gemara answers that there are contradictory versions of Rebbi’s position.
The Gemara infers from the previous discussion that a confirmed metzora is permitted to engage in marital relations.
A Baraisa is cited that supports this conclusion.
The dispute presented in the previously cited Baraisa is explained.
The Gemara questions whether one can infer from the previous discussion that the potential metzora’s status depends upon the declaration of the kohen.
This inference is confirmed by a Baraisa.
Abaye and Rava disagree whether there is a practical difference between the Tannaim cited in the previous Baraisa.
The Gemara begins to explain why the different Tana'im follow different positions.

Distinctive INSIGHT
Demolishing & rebuilding a dangerous wall on Chol Hamoed
לימא מסייע להו בטל הגהה לרשויות הרבנים סותר וbone דרבי מני
The Mishnah had taught that a fence in a garden may be patched on Chol Hamoed, but only in a makeshift manner. In the Gemara, Rav Yosef explains that this means that it may be covered with a crude covering of branches. A Baraisa even allows placement of stones, but without any cement to secure it. Rav Chisda explains that this halacha and its limitations only apply to a fence in a garden, where no significant loss is imminent. However, a fence of a courtyard which is breached may be fixed in a normal manner. Because intruders into a yard can cause significant financial loss, repair of the wall is essential, and this may be done in its normal manner.
To corroborate the opinion of Rav Chisda, the Gemara offers a Baraisa which allows direct construction of a wall which hangs dangerously over the public domain. We see, claims the Gemara, that direct building of a wall along the public domain is allowed on Chol Hamoed. Nevertheless, the Gemara rejects this proof, as the Baraisa itself states that this is only allowed due to the danger which is present, but it would not necessarily be permitted simply to prevent a financial loss.
This attempt of the Gemara to buttress the opinion of Rav Chisda seems weak, as the Baraisa explicitly states that the only reason rebuilding of the wall is permitted is the danger. This is not a support for Rav Chisda’s statement to allow such construction due to financial considerations. What, then, did the Gemara see in the Baraisa to prove the rule of Rav Chisda?
Ritva explains that once the danger is averted by removing the hanging bricks, allowed the further rebuilding seems unnecessary. Yet the Baraisa allows not only demolishing of the weak structure, but full restoration of the wall to its original condition, as well. It must be, therefore, that the reason to allow construction is to prevent thieves from entering, as Rav Chisda asserted.
Nevertheless, the Gemara responds that even the rebuilding of the wall may be due to the danger. If the owner knows that he can only remove the weak bricks, but that he may not rebuild the wall, he might refuse even to take down the wall in the first place. This is why we allow reconstruction to proceed fully.
Dancing for Sheva Berachos during the Three Weeks
A chosson who develops a blemish is given the seven days of his wedding celebration [before examining it].
Rav Nosson Gestetner, the Lehoros Nosson, was asked whether it is permitted to dance at Sheva Berachos after Shiva Asar B’Tamuz. The question is based on the ruling of Magen Avrohom who writes that it is prohibited to dance during the Three Weeks. Does this restriction include even dancing for the sake of the mitzvah to bring joy to the chosson and kallah, or not?
Some authorities maintain that the obligation to rejoice during the week of Sheva Berachos is Biblical in origin, whereas others maintain that the obligation is Rabbinic. Rav Yitzchok Elchonon Spektor, the Be’er Yitzchok, suggests that proof can be adduced from our Gemara that rejoicing during Sheva Berachos is Biblical. The Gemara derives from pesukim that the kohen does not examine the blemishes on a chosson to determine whether he has tzara’as. If the obligation to rejoice is only Rabbinic, how could the Gemara derive this exemption from pesukim and how could the rabbinic obligation of joy override the obligation to examine a blemish? It must be, concludes Be’er Yitzchok, that rejoicing during Sheva Berachos is Biblical, and thus overrides the mitzvah of examining blemishes.
Lehoros Nosson rejects this proof. Even if we accept that rejoicing is Rabbinic the Rabbis still have the authority to instruct the Kohen against examining the blemish to fulfill the Rabbinic obligation to rejoice during Sheva Berachos.
The final conclusion of Lehoros Nosson is to permit dancing during the Three Weeks. The reason is that the restriction against dancing before Rosh Chodesh Av is only a custom whereas to celebrate a wedding with dancing is obligatory, whether Biblical or Rabbinic. Therefore, priority is given to the activity that is obligatory rather than the restriction that is only customary. Rav Menashe Klein, the Mishnah Halachos, also addressed this issue and cites other more restrictive opinions.
STORIES Off the Daf
The Chosson’s Blemish
Once, the Imrei Emes, zt”l, attended a sheva brochos and met Rebbe Elazar Dovid, zt”l, the Rebbe of Radishitz.
Apropos of the occasion, the Rebbe decided to ask the Imrei Emes a perplexing question. He said, “We learn that a chosson who has tzara’as is allowed the time of the sheva brochos during which the kohen refrains from inspecting his blemish to see if it is impure. This dispensation is granted for a blemish on the chosson himself, or on his house or one of his belongings.” (Mishnah Negaim 3:2, brought in Moed Katan 7b)
The Rebbe of Radishitz continued, “Yet we learn in Arachin 16a that there are seven sins for which blemishes come as recompense. Since all the sins of a chosson are forgiven on the day of his wedding, how can he still be struck with such an affliction?”
The Imrei Emes responded immediately, “Surely the atonement granted for a chosson is not more powerful than that of Yom Kippur. On Yom Kippur we learn that person is not forgiven for sins between himself and his fellow man. All seven sins which bring on blemishes are בזיז אדם ללבינו! We see from here that there is no contradiction.”
Actually, it is no wonder that the Imrei Emes answered so quickly; we have a record that he asked the very same question to his son, the Lev Simcha, zt”l.
The Lev Simcha, zt”l responded, “In Berachos 5b, we find that blemishes can also be a form of אובחנה. If this is the type of blemishes we are talking about, than there is no question about the possibility of a chosson being visited with them despite the atonement that he has received.”
The Imrei Emes, however, was not satisfied with this reason

**TESTIMONIALS ABOUT NOTEFLIGHT**
By Jena Root on December 5, 2014
"I've been a long-time user of Finale. I have tried Sibelius, Notion, MuseScore and pretty much all the other alternatives just to explore. However, none of them really captured me as much as Finale, which I have invested the most time on...until I encountered Noteflight. Although it does not give as many functions as the stand-alone apps, what intrigued me the most was its ease of use and focus on collaboration.
You can access to your scores anytime, anywhere, as long as you have the internet. Also, the basic score preparation can be done a bit quicker than the other apps, and that is a major thing because the speed matters in the professional world as much as the equality. Lastly being able to collaborate with people to edit scores is the best function of all. I think that function is especially helpful for composers with assistants, band musicians who are writing music together and music classes. I highly recommend you try it out?"
By McLean on October 18, 2014
"Noteflight is a ground-breaking tool for musicians and music educators that I have been using extensively for several years. It combines an extremely powerful music notation application (think Finale or Sibelius) with the convenience of cloud computing (think Google Docs). Each score created is a shareable document that can be opened and edited anywhere! (laptops, phones, tables). For my personal needs as a jazz musician I can share my original compositions with my band mates and have them access the scores for rehearsal.
Noteflight has changed the way that I teach music and the way that my students learn. I am a full-time music teacher at an NYC middle and high school where all of my students learn how music works through creating their own compositions. Like no other technology Noteflight lets my students make creative choices about how they want their music to go without having to first haggle with music theory. They learn everything from music notation, consonance and dissonance, harmonic structures and progressions, melodic devices, key relationships, orchestration, musical form and musical history all from composing in Noteflight.
Because Noteflight scores live online I am able to easily give my students feedback directly on their scores. Noteflight's built-in discussion and comments features allow for the best aspects of social media. Not only can I give my students feedback but they can also talk with each other about their work. This capability has helped lead to the development of non-profit organization where I can include a community of composers all working and sharing together! As part of this program Noteflight makes it possible for us to bring in a chamber ensemble to perform each student's piece. Again, because the scores are shareable I can easily get over 80 pieces for each concert to the musicians. Noteflight's UI is both extremely user-friendly and powerfully dynamic. The built-in, onscreen keyboard allows for note entry based on a piano keyboard. My students love this! Notes can also be entered directly on the staff or by using the alpha-numeric keyboard. Editing features are on par with the most powerful notation editors. I've always been able to make my music look exactly as I've needed it to. Navigating my scores and organizing them in thoughtful and clear ways is super easy.
The exporting and sharing features for each score are tremendously helpful. Each Noteflight score has ready-made embed code that I use to put scores on my website and blog. The embeds not only look great but they can be played directly on the page!
Simply put, Noteflight is a game changer for me as a musician and as a teacher. I've used Sibelius and Finale extensively in the past but have not touched them over the last two years. The possibilities for what I can now bring to my music classroom are things I could only dream of just a few years ago!"

| | | Midway through the lesson, the teacher said, “Remember, I need you to walk out of here knowing how to do what? (Students respond based on the identified learning outcomes: write a fraction as a decimal and percent.) …to work smarter and not harder, cause we use them all the time, …right?... Make sure that you can explain this… the reason I do not care for the movement is because you’re just memorizing it. There will be some weird fractions here in the next couple of days, and with the movement, you won’t know what the movement is connected to. “ | | |
| Content Knowledge and Expertise 2.2 | | The teacher understands the mistakes that students will make and gives them strategies to keep from making that mistake (lining up decimals like on a receipt and thinking about the value of each coin, importance of simplifying the fraction). At one point when discussing division, she state, “What is the one mistake that students often make….?” The teacher clarified misunderstandings as they emerged and corrected and clarified when mistakes were made. By showing students multiple ways to solve the same problem, she allows students the latitude to choose the strategy that they feel is easiest for them to explain. The card activity provided an opportunity for students to practice concepts learned after analyzing different values represented by different forms in order to determine which form would facilitate comparison of values. One student responded that the answer was $1.00 when the correct answer was actually .50. The teacher asked probing questions to help the student reach the correct answer. The teacher provided numerous examples that connected to real life situations and sequenced instruction in a logical and supportive manner. She also asked student “is this the only way I can do this?” For example, on the board, she highlighted the student’s benchmark example of ½, 50% and .50 to show equivalency. The teacher listened to all groups and questioned rationale for why students selected a specific form (fractions, decimals, percents). | | |
| Communication 2.3 | | Students engaged in peer to peer interactions, as well as intentionally planned independent responses. The teacher began the lesson with a real world example (rainfall totals) that could be represented by fractions, decimals or percents. Other real-world examples were tied to basketball percentages, how the decimal is noted on a receipt, and the relationship between four quarters and | | |

Only the reporter can talk to me so you need to speak clearly to the reporter.” “Most of you have figured it out. What takes you to the next level is being able to explain it to me.” “All group members must be able to explain with detail.” “Listen to what everyone else says because you can lose points if you repeat what has already been said.” All students used their whiteboards as a visual tool. “I should be able to look at your board and it tell me a story about how you decided to do the work.” “Rate yourself on your whiteboard with an explanation of why you feel that way.” “Make sure your words are clear and concise.” The teacher used the whiteboard in her room to provide written communication and clear explanations. The teacher communicated the learning objective several times, and set an expectation for the students to be able to communicate it also. “Make sure you know the objective so if someone walks in and asks why you’re having fun, you can explain it.” Some sample questions asked by the teacher included: How can you use benchmarks and the relationship between fractions and decimals to help you compare these values? What do you think of when you use decimals? How did you take the values that were not in percent and convert them to percent? How can I line up these decimals to compare them? The way that you’re going to show me is by describing. At the end of the lesson, the teacher checked for understanding by stating, “Rate yourself on your whiteboard with an explanation of why you feel that way.” | | |

| | | The teacher recommended that one group revisit their thinking about their work. She also encouraged students to provide examples and use clear language as they developed their steps. She asked students to explain their thinking about how to get from this to that. She also asked students “Could you draw me a picture I could associate?” She also asked the question: “Would you talk to me about what would make it easier?” Students were provided with choices regarding how they would solve the problems. | | |
| Monitor and Adjust 2.5 | | Teacher monitored all group discussions, encouraging students to show their work and explain their thinking and rationale. Teacher constantly walked around the room monitoring their participation, understanding, and performance. She monitored student understanding by using thumbs up/down and white boards. She used purposeful questioning to either redirect or confirm students’ thinking and provided specific academic feedback. One group was struggling with the game of putting the cards from least to greatest. She told the group, I want you to think about it for 2 minutes and help me to clarify where the mistake occurred.” During the 2 minutes, she gave the rest of the class the assignment to write a response to the focus question on where this could be used in the real-world. Then she went to the struggling group to clarify their misunderstanding. Strong pacing and encouraged input from students on the amount of time they needed to successfully collaborate and solve problems. Teacher used formative assessment data from teacher observation and student discussion to determine whether or not deeper explanation was needed. Purposeful questions guided last group to discover their mistake. Teacher said, “It is important to know why you make the error so you don’t make it again”. Teacher also had understanding of the mistakes that students might make and gave strategies to avoid making those mistakes. She also reinforced big ideas necessary to understand the content (fractions to decimals to percents, parts of fractions, fraction bar=divide, connection with money, etc.). | | |

| Classroom Environment, Routines and Procedures 3.1 | | Students were held to expectations for individual and group work. The teacher reinforced expectations for focused learning throughout the lesson. It is evident that students are accustomed to working together and being accountable for individual and collective efforts. Lesson pacing was appropriate for the content presented. Roles and responsibilities included facilitator, reporter, and gatekeeper. Teacher constantly referred them back to content and language objective as well as the essential questions throughout the lesson. | | |
| Managing Student Behavior 3.2 | | The teacher consistently encouraged students. “I love it. That helps me right there.” Y’all are doing great today. All eyes on me.” “I saw great work, ideas, and talking.” “Table tents in place. Thumbs up when read.” No distracting student behaviors were observed during the lesson and most students did participate the entire lesson. The teacher used questioning, illustrations and proximity to continually monitor the lesson, work and behaviors of the students. Students were respectful and self-directed in their focus and respect for others and their teacher. She expected students to actively listen and share in accountable behaviors by utilizing a point system related to the group grade. Students collaborated with one another as they explored the concepts of equivalency (percents, fractions, decimals). Teacher also used a four-point rubric for students to self- assess their learning at the end of the lesson. | | |

Dear Parents and Carers,
We've had a fantastic term and run up to Easter this week. The children have loved decorating their eggs and making their Easter nests as their attendance treat. I hope you all have a lovely break and the weather stays sunny. We look forward to welcoming the children back on Monday 15th April.
Thank you, Mrs Maughan
Social Media Warning for children in Bowburn
We have been made aware of some social media platforms where children of primary school age are encouraged to join groups and then to self-harm. Whilst this is always a possible threat for our children, it seems to be particularly prevalent in this area at the minute.
We ask you to be extra vigilant over the Easter period with regards to your child’s online activity so that they are not drawn into such groups.
If you need extra information on how to support your child, then the following link to the NSPCC site may be useful:
Content promoting self-harm, suicide and eating disorders | NSPCC
New Lunch Menu
Our catering contractor Chartwell will launch their new menu when we return after the Easter Break. They kindly provided a taster day alongside our parents’ evening and the new dishes were really well liked.
The new menu has been emailed out to parents and will appear on our website shortly.
Reminder, meal prices will be £2.81 from April
Easter Prize Winners
Well done to everyone who entered the competition. You made the judges job very difficult.
Nursery winners—congratulations to Finn, Lucy and Bette.
Our Year 6 winners with their prizes—Amelia Heidi and Keisha. See more over the page...
Easter Prize Winners

3rd prize in Reception was for Rachel. What a lovely egg!
Our Year 1 winners—Mafario, Logan and Ava with their lovely eggs.
Year 4’s winning entries—congratulations to Laura, Scarlett and Nathan.

Guidance Note No. 20
Lateral Restraint to Wall at Roof Level
Notes:
1. Bracing omitted for clarity
2. Returns on straps should be fastened to un-cut blocks
Strapping Gables to Rafters
Straps provide most of the lateral stability to the gable wall and are nearly always required. They must engage a full block on a gable, and will need to be fitted to the underside of the raft members. Nail each strap to at least three rafters and to the timber noggins, which are needed between the rafters (as shown right).
Straps can be fixed before the gable is built, but great care is needed to ensure that downturns are in line and match with coursing. Straps can be built into the masonry in their correct positions and temporarily tied to rafters; allowing noggins and packing to be added later. Nailing a strap (or even screwing it) into position while the masonry is green is difficult to do without disturbing and weakening the blockwork.

God saw Audrey was getting tired and a cure was not to be, and whispered, come with Me. Although we loved her dearly, We could not make her stay. A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best.

Barnacre-with-Bonds Parish Council M I N U T E S
Of the Parish Council Meeting which took place virtually, via Microsoft Teams on Wednesday 17 th March 2021. 7.30pm.
Draft version – for approval at the meeting of the Parish Council scheduled to take place on Wednesday 19 th May 2021.
1. Present: Parish Councillors Commander, Howell (Chair), Fennel & LCC Councillor Shaun Turner. Apologies: Received from Councillor Forshaw, Ibison, Marsh & Gorst.
2. Minutes from the meeting held on 13 th January 2021 were discussed. It was resolved that the Chair would sign the minutes when able to do so. Covid19.
3. Declarations of interest – There were no declarations of interest declared.
4. Period of public discussion / chance to review Clerk's report / receive updates from Police, Borough & Parish Councillors re meetings, groups, visits, training courses etc - The meeting was adjourned at 7:35pm: Councillor Howell gave the following updates - The footpath on The Toppings estate which connects to the footpath 100 which runs alongside the River Wyre
– LCC have been contacted about the two missing lighting columns the developer was supposed to put in and they have confirmed that they are still looking at the design of these with Redrow Homes and they will confirm when finalised.
Trees that were illegally felled on the Calder House Lane development (Duchy Holmes) – Wyre environmental officer (Ryan Orrell) has replied and confirmed that caution letters are being issued to both Duchy Homes and the tree surgeon. Duchy Homes have a responsibility to replace the trees. If cautions are accepted and the trees have been replaced (within the next planting season) then the matter will be concluded. If either party does not accept the caution then prosecution could possibly follow.
Garstang Neighbourhood Plan – The group has not met since the last Parish Council meeting. Councillor Howell has had discussions with Councillor Roger Brooks who has asked for the resolutions from the meeting in November in relation to the Garstang Neighbourhood Plan to take to the next Town Council meeting of Garstang. We are still awaiting an update following that meeting about the possibility of Councillors Howell and Fennell joining the group as representatives of this PC.
Market Town Working Group – The group has not met since the last meeting due to recent Lockdown.
Canal tow path improvements, Garstang to Claughton – Councillor Ibison has had a discussion with a Councillor from Claughton PC who wondered what was happening. Councillor Shaun Turner updated that it was an ambition to get some Lancashire wide money in the budget to put towards building on existing green infrastructure and other quiet areas. A health and Wellbeing exercise. There is £2m in the budget to work with partners (PCs) and look at pathways without any previous funding. Work completed on the tow path at Bilsborrow has now enabled the completion of a circular walk around Bilsborrow.
Signed ……………………………………………………………. Date ……………
Claughton are interested in getting involved; the idea will be to link with the guild wheel at Broughton and North – get into Lancaster working with the canals and rivers trust also (Councillor Turner has a meeting with the trust next week) If there is any land anywhere that anyone is aware of that could be used to link these footpaths; please let Councillor Turner know.
New partnership for the Greater Garstang area (2 year Wyre initiative) – Garstang TC seem to be involved but none of the surrounding Parishes – Councillor Shaun Turner updated that this is something that has come out of the Market Town Working Group – they are now setting up this partnership. Wyre are giving some money to areas that have stood up a partnership board to do some work around consultancy. Dave Sharples is the representative for Parish Councils in the area.
Shaun Turner gave a further update on the following:
Pandemic – Lancashire wide the Lancashire Resilience Forum (LRF) was set up as the emergency body (all public sector bodies) is looking to be stood down in the coming weeks so the Councils that had delegated powers will revert back so things are on the up in Lancashire; almost 730k been vaccinated. The ambition for Lancashire is to have everyone fully vaccinated by the end of July 2021.
Bowgreave Rise – the plans get considered April / May. Two modern buildings to replace the existing one; One for dementia (built first) the residents will then move in and then the other one will be demolished and the second building, the extra care centre will be built. All positive. If permitted, the building will commence June time. There have been a couple of objections in relation to speeding. Councillor Turner has asked for some stats from police in the area.
The bus stop opposite will also be looked at.
Clerk mentioned Calder Vale Road that needs work – the bollards and signs were placed there soon after this was reported but nothing else has been done in over 12 months now. Councillor Turner knows of this work and that the banking does need supporting; he will chase this up with LCC and try to get a timescale as to when this will be done. He will keep Clerk updated on the situation.
Councillor Turner also asked the Clerk to send him details of roads etc (noticed item10 on agenda) that needed attention and he would report them on behalf of the PC.
Clerk wanted it noted to personally thank both Councillor Marsh and John (employed by Councillor Marsh's company) for arranging / setting up the new laptop.
Clerk updated that PC Chris Banks has now left the area to another role in South Division and been replaced by PC 4326 Rachel Sanderson (new neighbourhood policing team that covers Barnacre-with-Bonds) The new rural taskforce started on the 1 st March following success of the urban task force; 4 rural task force officers based in Garstang that cover Wyre and Fylde who work in collaboration with the wider rural task force team at a county level. They will tackle issues that matter to locals in rural areas, eg farm machinery theft, rural, wildlife and heritage crimes.
Meeting reconvened 8:12pm.
Signed ……………………………………………………………. Date ……………
5. Community event
This was discussed. It was resolved that given the current pandemic situation that this be carried forward to the next meeting to be reviewed again at that time.
6. Garstang Town Council Emergency Plan
This was discussed and it was resolved that the PC would be interested in joining and willing to provide content if and where appropriate toward the Emergency Plan.
7. Old Laptop
This was discussed and it was resolved that the laptop can be donated to the charity in Garstang as suggested by Councillor Forshaw where the laptop can be donated, to be reset and then given to someone in need. Clerk will contact Councillor Forshaw and arrange this.
8. Payments of invoices in-between meetings
This was discussed, mainly in relation to the Clerk being able to pay the payroll services as and when the invoices are received to benefit from the discount which would be applied to the account in the subsequent year if payments are made in an average of 30 days. Sometimes this is not achievable if authorisation is required at the next meeting (which is beyond the 30 days). It was resolved that all payments could be made to Autela Payroll (only) and then included on the next meeting agenda as a retrospective payment
to be authorised for audit trail of approval.
9. McAfee security software
The current trial is due to run out on the new laptop. This was discussed and it was resolved that Clerk could purchase the offer which was available last week of £19.99 for 1 device, 1 year and reimburse herself straight away.
10. Issues with road surfaces etc around the Parish
Discussions took place around a few different things that needed to be reported to LCC Highways. It was resolved that the following should be reported via LCC Councillor Shaun Turner as request

Texas Health Care-Associated Infections Reporting Frequently Asked Questions
As of 01/2012
How to begin reporting:
1. Our facility IP left suddenly, where do we begin? The first thing you need to do is to learn about the state reporting requirements and determine whether your facility is required to report—you can start by reading the rest of this document.
If you are required to report, you will need to determine where the previous Infection Preventionist left off in the reporting process. To do this, contact [email protected], explain the situation and verify whether your facility is enrolled in NHSN. If so, NHSN will need to set you up as the new Facility Administrator for your facility. If not, you can check out the "Texas HAI Start-up Checklist," which can help get you started in NHSN.
2. Are there any resources for collecting and reporting HAI data? The following resources can be found on the www.HAITexas.org website under reporting:
a. Free NHSN reporting training provided by The Association for Prevention of Infection and Control (APIC)
c. Texas NHSN course on: Using Excel to Import Knee Surgical Denominator Data
b. Training sessions recommended by the CDC NHSN Program i. http://www.cdc.gov/nhsn/training.html
d. NHSN spreadsheet example
Who must report:
3. Which facilities are required to report Health Care-Associated Infections (HAI)? All Texas licensed general hospitals and Ambulatory Surgical Centers (ASC) are required to report the HAI data related to the specified procedure codes. A general hospital is defined as a hospital licensed under the Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 241 or a hospital that provides surgical or obstetrical services and that is maintained or operated by the state of Texas. An ASC is defined as a facility licensed under the Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 243. This does not include a comprehensive medical rehabilitation hospital.
4. Are critical access hospitals required to report Health Care-Associated Infections (HAIs)? Yes, critical access hospitals fall under general hospital licensing rules in the state of Texas, and are considered general hospitals for mandatory HAI reporting purposes.
5. Are Long Term Acute Care facilities (LTACs) required to report Health Care-Associated Infections (HAIs)? Yes and No. Some LTACs are licensed as General Hospitals and others are licensed as Special Hospitals under Chapter 241. The ones licensed as General Hospitals (provides surgery, OB services or both) are required to report, while the ones licensed as Special Hospitals (do not provide surgery or OB services) are not required to report. Of the LTACs that are required to report, a subset of them will not report HAIs because they do not have an ICU and they do not perform any of the Texas Reportable Procedures (see Question 12 for reportable procedures).
6. Is the Veterans Affairs (VA) or Department of Defense (DOD) hospitals required to report Health Care-Associated Infections (HAIs) to the state? No, Veteran Affairs and Department of Defense hospitals are not licensed under the Texas Health and Safety Code and are not maintained or operated by the State of Texas so are exempt from mandatory state reporting of HAI.
7. What Special Care Settings must report? A unit or service of a general, pediatric or adolescent hospital that provides treatment to inpatients who require extraordinary care on a concentrated and continuous
basis. The term includes pediatric, neonatal (level III or II/III) and adult critical care units as defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) or its successor. See list below.
– Burn ICU or CCU
– Medical cardiac ICU or CCU
– Medical ICU or CCU
– Medical/surgical ICU or CCU
– Neurologic ICU or CCU
– Neurosurgical ICU or CCU
– Neonatal ICU or CCU (Level II/III Nursery) –
– Neonatal ICU or CCU (Level III Nursery) –
– Pediatric Burn ICU or CCU
– Pediatric Cardiothoracic ICU or CCU
– Pediatric Medical ICU or CCU
– Pediatric Neurosurgical ICU or CCU
– Pediatric Respiratory ICU or CCU
– Pediatric Surgical ICU or CCU
– Pediatric Trauma ICU or CCU
–
Pediatric Medical/surgical ICU or CCU
Prenatal ICU or CCU
Respiratory ICU or CCU
Surgical ICU or CCU
– Surgical cardiothoracic ICU or CCU
– Trauma ICU or CCU
8. If an ASC does not do any of the surgical procedures, are they still required to report? ASCs report the same surgical site infections (SSI) as general hospitals. If your facility does not perform any of the surgical procedures then you are not required to report. However, if at any time your facility does perform one of the reportable procedures, you will be required to report at that time.
9. Does a facility need to enroll now even if they are not reporting until a later phase in period? We are encouraging facilities to enroll in NHSN now and start practicing entering data into NHSN, even if you will not be reporting for Texas until a later phase in period. This will give you time to get used to entering data in NHSN, and identify and correct any issues that may occur before your data gets posted to a public website. Also to note, although your facility may not be required to report for Texas, you may need to enroll in NHSN for CMS reporting.
10. Do inpatient rehab facilities have to report? No, inpatient rehabilitation facilities are not required to report to Texas.
11. Does my "swing" unit (a unit with patients at varying levels of acuity) have to report central line associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs)? No. This unit is considered a Mixed Acuity Ward, not an Intensive Care Unit.
12. Do the reporting requirements for central line associated blood stream infection (CLABSI) in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) include High Observation Units (HOUs) in long term acute care facilities (LTACs)? LTACs are NOT included unless they have an 'ICU' or critical care unit (CCU) within their facility.
13. Who will be required to communicate to the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) if the Infection Prevention (IP) position is vacant? Each hospital and ambulatory surgery center will designate a facility contact that will be responsible for communications with DSHS. Texas requires that all facilities ensure communications with DSHS are maintained and monitored even if the position is vacant for any reason (vacation, illness, etc.).
14. How will I communicate to the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS)? Facilities may contact DSHS by email to [email protected] or by phone (512.776.3773).
15. What types of communications will I receive from DSHS? Designated Facility Contacts may receive emails, letters, faxes or phone calls from DSHS.
When to report:
16. How often must a facility submit data into National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN)? Data must be entered into NHSN according to NHSN protocols: "Report adverse events/exposures and appropriate summary or denominator data as required for the module(s) indicated on the reporting plan to CDC within 30 days of the end of the month." Texas reporting deadlines in the proposed rule are shown in the table below.
What to report:
17. What needs to be reported for mandatory state reporting? All licensed general hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs) shall report the number of device days and laboratory-confirmed central line-associated primary bloodstream infections in special care settings (intensive care units & critical care units) including the causative pathogen. The complete ICD-9 Table may be found on the NHSN website (www.cdc.gov/NHSN).
General hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers shall report the Health Care-Associated Infections (HAI) data related to the following surgical procedures. This includes all procedure-related SSIs identified (i.e., superficial, deep and organ space SSIs). The surgical procedure is defined by the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) operative procedure and the ICD-9-CM codes linked to

Integrated Solar Panels with Steve Hern from CertainTeed
In these grey November days it is hard to imagine that solar power can do much to take the chill out of our New England homes. But Steve Hern from CertainTeed joined us on Nov. 15 to tell us about innovations in solar roof panels. First a quick lesson on how solar power works. Solar power is the process of converting solar radiation into direct current electricity (DC). The more surface you have grabbing that sunlight, the more electricity. The panels are connected and daisy chained together and work in sequence collecting power. Our homes use alternating current (AC) so how does this work? There is a piece of equipment before the panel called an inverter that converts the DC to AC.
Solar power augments our eclectic service in our homes, it does not replace it. The panels can only generate power while it is sunny and power storage is expensive. So you aren't making your own power and storing it for when you need it. It is a very literal process; even the shade of a tree or chimney can affect the power generated. And in terms of location, one doesn't need a compass in the city to know where south is, look at the solar panels on houses, or the satellite dishes! In addition to a south facing roof, slope matters as does any possible obstruction. Vents, chimneys and nearby trees may create too much shade. The goal is as much continuous sunshine as possible. Because of this, the extent one can augment their electricity purchase will vary with the sunshine, at its maximum in the summer months and decreasing in the winter months.
As we all know, the building industry is an innovative business. The days of window ropes and chimneys (when you don't have a fireplace!) are gone. Throw a concern for and respect of the environment into the mix, and there are amazing innovations happening all the time. The Apollo system from CertainTeed is a solar panel that "is" the roof covering. Unlike the traditional (!) solar panel that sits on top of the roof shingles, the Apollo panels are the roof cover. Here's how they are installed: The old roof material is removed and the sheathing is clear of matter, and likely renailed to ensure the sheathing is secure. A layer of ice and water shield is laid down over the entire roof. Of course ideally the attic is vented. The panels snap together and are connected electrically like a snake. Any damage or obstruction (shade) and the system reroutes around the weak link. The panels are covered in tempered glass. The panels come in 4' lengths and cannot be cut, so the roof is covered in increments of 4s. The balance is covered with shingles or flashing depending on location and the amount to be covered. The panels themselves warm up in the sunshine and snow will slide off. Because of this, snow guards are often installed just below the panels. The life expectancy of the ice and water shield is 50 years while the panel life expectancy is 25 years. The inverter is in the basement near the meter and panel. Any wiring related to the solar panels (in DC current) inside the house must be in metal conduit and labeled as power generating conduit.
This exciting innovation may not be for everyone, do the math. Folks that don't use a lot of power may not reap any financial benefit for years to come, if at all. But for many the benefit of solar power is not economic but environmental. We will likely see more solar panel installations with time and with that will come innovative materials. Stay tuned!

Non-parametric stability measures for analysing non-normal data
A K PAUL 1 , RANJIT KUMAR PAUL 2 , SAMARENDRA DAS 3 , S K BEHERA 4 and A DHANDAPANI 5
Indian Agricultural Statistics Research Institute, New Delhi 110 012
Received: 14 July 2014; Accepted: 27 March 2015
ABSTRACT
In the present investigation, five different non-parametric stability measures are proposed based on the ranks of the genotypes to assess genotype-environment interaction, when the data does not satisfy the normality assumption. The behaviours of developed stability indices are studied by simulation technique under the assumption of normal as well as non-normal distributions such as log-normal, gamma, beta and t - distributions. These indices are compared empirically by using power of the test and type-I error. Results from the non-parametric analysis with the help of simulation study demonstrated that the proposed index A 4 outperformed other indices in normal as well as nonnormal data scenarios.
Key words: Genotype-environment interaction, Non-parametric measures, Power of the test, Stability, Type-1 error
In multi-environment trials (MET), the occurrence of Genotype-environment interactions (GEI) is common, which reduce the efficiency of varietal selection and recommendation. When the performance of genotypes in different environments is extremely different, GEI becomes a major challenge to genetic improvement programs. For example, environmental factors such as precipitation, temperature and soil play important roles in genotype yield performance. GEI affects the performance of the most favorable genotypes but is an important consideration in plant breeding and selection programs (Karimizadeh et al. 2012). The occurrence of GEI has led to the development of several stability parameters that can be used to estimate the stability of cultivar's performance over different environments.
component approach, regression approach, biometrical genetics approach and the genetic correlation approach. The choice among these methods depended on the particular situation in hand and the type of data that are collected by the investigator. Subsequently various concepts of stability were advanced. Several procedures for analyzing GEI and yield stability were proposed based on assumptions about data characteristics. Most of these procedures, however, were parametric methods performance of which was not quite satisfactory from the standpoint of breeders. The scientists therefore started looking for non-parametric measures as well as procedures, which allow the selection of genotypes simultaneously for yield and stability.
Most statistical techniques assume that data should follow a certain distribution, especially normal distribution. These procedures are known as parametric statistics and estimate population parameters that need the underlying distribution of a dataset. In real crop data set, the specific form of distribution is not known and which makes these techniques inapplicable. So, then suitable transformation is applied in data to make it normal; however, such transformation does not always fulfil the assumption of normality. Previously, there were four different parametric approaches to the statistical analysis of GEI. These are variance

There is hardly any study on the performance of nonparametric measures when the basic data is not normally distributed. This is serious when the ground reality is that, the data does not satisfy the assumptions about normality and independence of observations as well as homogeneity of error variances. There is, therefore need for development of some new stability measures, which does not require the distributional property of the basic data. There is ample justification for the use non-parametric measures in the assessment of yield stability of crop varieties. Their chief advantages of such measures are: (i) No assumptions about the phenotypic observations are needed, (ii) Sensitivity to measurement errors or to outliers are much less compared to parametric measures, (iii) Additions or deletions of one or a few genotypes do not cause distortions to non-parametric measures. (iv) Most of the time, the breeder, is concerned with crossover interaction, an estimate of stability based on rank-information, therefore, seems more relevant, (v) These measures are particularly useful in situations where
parametric measures fail due to large non-linear GEI. For these reasons non-parametric measures are widely employed in the selection of crop varieties especially when the interest mainly lies in crossover interaction (Thennarasu 1995, Mohamadi and Pourdad 2009, Mohamadi et al. 2008, Ebadi et al. 2008, Mohamadi and Amri 2008; Cobos et al. 2009, Kan et al. 2010, Kozak 2010, Pourdad 2011, Zali et al. 2011)
This important aspect motivated for taking the present investigation, which will also consider the development of some non-parametric stability measures, which could be used for selecting stable genotypes across different environments.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
For the simulation of the requisite data, the parametric values of μ and were taken from the extensive data from All India Coordinated Project on Pearl millet. Assuming the grain yields to be normally distributed, the required normal variates (Y ij ) were generated as per the procedure discussed earlier, taking µ =1984 and =152.22 and σ E =1121. It is to be noted that the value of µ and will not have any specific effect on type I error thus any mean and error variance can in fact be used.
Observations from different non-normal distributions such as log-normal, gamma, beta and t - distributions were generated for different combinations of genotypes (t) and environments (s). For this study, data were generated for the combinations of t (8, 12, 16, 20, and 24) and s (5, 10, 15, and 20). The detail algorithms based on different distributions for generation of non-normal data were given in supporting information. The variates so generated are used for computing different developed non-parametric stability measures. The performances of these non-parametric measures are studied on the basis of type 1 error (α) and power of the test coming from normal as well as non-normal (log-normal, gamma, beta and t-distributions) observations.
For a two-way data set with t genotypes grown in s environments, we denoted r ij as the rank of the i-th genotype grown in j-th environment and r i. mean rank of i-th genotype across all the environments. For ranking purpose, the smallest y (response obtained from i-th genotype in j-th environment) in a particular environment is given rank, one, the next higher value, rank two, and so on. Using the rank values and rank means, we proposed the following stability measures: (i) Average deviation of ranks from median:
(ii) Coefficient of variation of absolute deviation of ranks from median:
(iii) Coefficient of variation among ranks:
(iv) Coefficient of variation of absolute deviation of ranks from median:
In the formulae, the quantities r i * and Md i * are the mean and median ranks for the i-th genotype respectively obtained from the corrected Y ij . The corrected phenotypic values namely, Y * ij =Y ij -Y i , where, Y i : is the mean performance of the i-th genotype. The ranks obtained from these corrected Y ij depend only on the GE interaction and error components. Smallest values of the parameter and highest seed yield over the control are considered as stable genotype. In comparison with the Thennarasu non parametric index available in the literature we found that, A 2 index is almost equivalent or some times better.

Project presentation SHAPES
Objectives
The main objective is to analyze the risks and benefits of a modal shift from passenger cars to cycling. In this way SHAPES will enable policy makers to make clear and science-based choices related to commuter cycling and transport modal shift in cities.
Therefore SHAPES has defined a number of specific objectives:
* To evaluate the exposure to air pollution for cyclists compared to car users
* To evaluate the physical condition of cyclists compared to car users
* To implement an on-line injury registration system for minor injuries in commuter cyclists
* To develop a spatial analysis for accident risks
* To integrate these risks into a common framework, to evaluate costs and benefits
* To propose policy options that contribute to safer and healthier cycling and to lower emissions and social security costs in the long term
* To develop a spatial analysis of trajectory choice and methodology for infrastructure development in the three Belgian regions
Methodology
To achieve these goals a project in two phases is proposed:
In Phase 1 we perform a statistical and geographical analysis of accident data to identify the causes of accidents with cyclists and the correlated spatial attributes. This knowledge will be used to choose urban and suburban commuter trajectories. A set of relationships between exercise and improved health will be derived for different groups in the population and applied to the car drivers and cyclists in each of the case studies. Spatial attributes such as slope will be included to build a model predicting the exposure to air pollution for each of the transport modes. Phase 1 is also devoted to the preparation of a measurement campaigns and the collection of new injury data using an on-line registration system.
Phase 2 is largely devoted to the measurement campaigns that will determine the links between activity level, exposure and physical health. Breathing rate, exercise and exposure to NOx, PM and CO will be measured simultaneously for both drivers and cyclists. Special attention is paid to spatial variations in behavior and links with infrastructure. The models developed in Phase 1 will be calibrated and validated using the results from these measurements and complemented with the new injury data. It will then be used to extrapolate the likely impacts of promoting commuter cycling through the provision of specifically targeted infrastructure in each region. All health impacts from each risk category will be associated with a cost for medical care that can be worked out based on data provided by the national public health insurance. These costs are then used to develop a cost-benefit framework for decision support.
Interaction between the different partners SHAPES is not a continuation of any SPSDI or II project, but there is a clear logic in the succession of research topics covered and their relevance to policy makers at different levels. SHAPES builds further on the conclusions of quite a number of transport-related projects under the SPSD I and SPSD II programs but is founded on expertise obtained by the VUB outside of the federal science policy program (e.g. the Flemish Commuter Cycling project) and the European ETOUR project (Electric Two wheelers on Urban roads).
VITO participated in the SPSDI project "External costs of transport" which translated the European ExternE methodology to the Belgian context. This provided policy makers with information on the environmental differences between technologies and transport modes. This resulted in two SPSDII projects on new technologies (SUSATRANS) and promising transport modes (MOPSEA) increasing the understanding of national and European policy instruments. Under SPSDII, "Mobilee" looked at local environmental impacts and contributed to the integration of mobility and environmental policy at the local level.
UCL also participated in SPSDI and II for developing new tools in terms of spatial analysis of road accidents in Belgium as well as in understanding trip distribution and modal choices (Samba project). Moreover, the UCL team conducts other researches financed by FNRS on spatial econometrics and health problems.
SHAPES acknowledges that
* all major technological innovations have entered the mainstream car market.
* the remaining "relaxed" targets for CO2 prove very hard to comply with
* exposure to traffic related air pollution is most important on the road
* results cannot be extrapolated to other sites unless spatial factors are taken into account
Building on that experience it was decided to include an expert GIS team in this proposal (UCL) to ensure that results from SHAPES can be used throughout the country while taking into account the need to include local spatial constraints. The Department of Geography of the UCL is well known for its expertise in GIS especially in the domain of modal split (SPSDII, SAMBA) and road accident analysis.
SHAPES is therefore an integration of three lines of research and focuses on a specific transport mode that has the potential to contribute to several environmental targets while fulfilling a number of other policy targets as well.
Expected results and/or Products
SHAPES will build an integrated framework to evaluate the costs and benefits of commuter cycling. The outcome of the project will be a distinct set of policy options that can be used to promote a modal shift to cycling and substantially improve public health in a cost-efficient manner while taking in account the physical capabilities of different groups and spatial constraints in different regions.
The results will be useful:
* for individuals considering to give up sedentary transport in favor of cycling by providing clear insights in the individual health benefits such as a decreased risk for cardiovascular disease, hypertension, obesity, a better overall physical condition and risks encountered.
* for policy makers promoting cycling to prevent chronic diseases in an aging population, to reduce air pollution by cars and to reduce CO2 emissions by highlighting non-marginal changes (e.g. infrastructure)

ABSTRACT — Obesity is one of the top ten adverse health conditions in the world and it has doubled in the last decades. Altered maternal nutrition, including both undernutrition and maternal obesity, have been shown to lead to transgenerational transmission of metabolic disorders in the offspring, perpetuating metabolic disorders in the future generations. Several interventions have been performed in animal models of obesity to reduce the long-term obesity-related sequelae and consequently the adverse effects on offspring's health. Our aim was to critically review studies that performed interventions with natural/botanical compounds in rodent model high fat diet (HFD) induced obesity and to assess glucose, lipid, metabolic and cardiovascular outcomes. We carried out a computerized literature review using PubMed and Medline. We identified fourteen studies that fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Lipid profile, in term of adipogenesis, leptin, triglycerides, cholesterol and adiponectin levels, improved after administration of all the natural compounds tested. Glucose profile improved with the supplementation of rice hull smoke extract, rheum undulatum, zanthoxylum piperitum DC ethanol extract and alpinia officinarum showing an increased insulin sensitivity. Oxidative stress and body weight also improved after the supplementation with most of the compounds in rodent models of obesity, proving promising and effective anti-obesity properties. These experimental studies demonstrate that several natural interventions improve lipid, glucose and oxidative profiles in rodents presenting an obese phenotype induced by a high fat diet consumption. Clinical research could now explore the efficacy and safety of such interventions in the obese population to reduce the longterm sequelae of this metabolic disfunction and thus to interrupt the vicious circle that an obese mother generates a child prone to develop metabolic (and cardiovascular) disease in adult life.

INTRODUCTION
The World Health Organization (WHO) declared obesity as one of the top ten adverse health risk conditions in the world and one of the top five in developed nations 1 . Recent WHO data estimate that the worldwide prevalence of obesity has doubled between 1980 and 2014. In 2014 more than 1.9 billion adults, 39% of the population, aged 18 years and over (38% of men and 40% of women) were overweigh; of these over 600 million, 13% (11% of men and 15% of women) were obese 1 . Traditionally obesity has been linked to changes in diet and lifestyle, as result of increased high caloric dietary intakes, of high-energy diets and concomitant reduced physical activity levels 2 . Human and animal studies have highlighted the link between the perturbations of the intrauterine environment, occurring in the early-life, and the increased susceptibility to obesity and related metabolic and cardiovascular disorders later in life. Altered maternal nutrition, including both undernutrition and maternal obesity, has been shown to lead to transgenerational transmission of metabolic disorders in the offspring, perpetuating then, in the future generations (Figure 1). This association has been conceptualized by Barker and others as the "Developmental origins of health and diseases" also known as "The Barker's hypothesis" 3 which states that, environmental factors impacting the fetus during critical developmental periods can cause adverse lifelong effects on offspring's health. More recent studies had demonstrated that fetal developmental programming is a transgenerational phenomenon that transmits the programming effects to subsequent generations, even in the absence of continuous environmental stressors, thus perpetuating a cycle of obesity and metabolic disorders in future generations 4 . The role of the interactions between environmental and genetic factors in the contribution to complex polygenic obesity and common obesity is really important as no efficient treatment, apart from major surgery, currently exists 5 . Therefore, by the discovery of novel genes or new etiological pathways, innovative therapies, preventive measures, and pharmacogenetic strategies can be found and/or used in obesity studies.
FETAL PROGRAMMING
A quarter of a century ago, Barker and Osmond 6 at the University of Southampton, England, crystallized the concept of fetal programming and early origin of adult disease by suggesting that stress in utero, manifested by low birth weight (LBW), increased the risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke in specific areas of England and Wales. Prior researchers had formulated similar hypotheses on the basis of findings in humans 7,8 and animals 9 . Hales and Barker 10 , however, provided a mechanistic explanation by proposing the "thrifty phenotype hypothesis" to complement the already existing "thrifty genotype hypothesis" 11 . According to Hales and Barker's hypothesis, fetuses exposed to suboptimal conditions during intrauterine life, reprogram physiological developmental processes in anticipation of similar suboptimal conditions in postnatal life. If postnatal conditions are instead optimal and resources
are abundant, the organism is ill-prepared to cope with the different environment and hence is more susceptible to develop diseases 12 .
EPIGENETIC MECHANISMS
Epigenetics is a term coined by Waddington (1969) 13 to describe heritable gene function changes without a changed DNA base sequence. Epigenetics has become a central mechanism in the hypothesis of fetal developmental programming. There are several different epigenetic mechanisms as: activation or inactivation of genes by DNA methylation (DNA methylation suppresses gene expression), histone acetylation and chromatin remodeling regulatory feedback by microRNAs. Obesity and its related comorbidities are intimately associated with epigenetic alterations. The implicated genes, also called epi-obesogenic genes, are susceptible to epigenetic regulation and they play a role in the development of obesity by controlling processes such as adipogenesis, inflammation, appetite and glucose tolerance 14 . New genome loci that could be part of the epigenetic map of obesity have been discovered after an analysis of 450 million cytosine with a guanine as the next nucleotide (CpG) sites 15 . Dick et al 16 have associated increased BMI and adiposity with raised DNA methylation at hypoxia-inducible transcription factor 3A (HIF3A) – a gene that could affect gene expression management involved in obesity development. Therefore, knowing the combination of both genetic and epigenetic information in obese patients would improve personalized interventions 17 .
Nutritional imprinting on hormonal and epigenetic mechanisms
The hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axis and the insulin-like growth facto axis may have a crucial role in the regulation induced by nutritional programming. The persistent alterations seem to be a consequence, at least in part, of elevated insulin levels during 'critical periods" of pre-natal and early postnatal development. Also, leptin seems to play an important role in this complex system. New knowledge about these mechanisms involved suggests the development of new, rational and effective preventive and/or therapeutic options before and/or after birth. Thus, early infancy may provide an opportunity for intervention aimed at reducing later disease risk 18 .
Animal models of obesity
Several animal studies have been created to examine the effects of maternal metabolic disorders during pregnancy o

Record of Proceedings dated 08.12.2017
O. P. No. 6 of 2015 & I. A. No. 28 of 2015
M/s Rithwik Power Projects Limited vs TSNPDCL
Petition filed seeking directions to the Licensee for payment of tariff for the additional capacity of 1.5 MW at the rate being paid to existing 6 MW power plant.
Filed an I.A seeking to amend the title in the original petition.
Sri. T. Vizhay Babu, Advocate representing Sri. Challa Gunaranjan, counsel for the petitioner and Ms. Pravalika, Advocate representing Sri. Y. Rama Rao, Standing Counsel for the respondent are present. The advocate representing the counsel for the petitioner has stated a few facts of the case. The emphasis is on directing the DISCOM to enter into PPA for additional capacity of 1.5 MW. The representations were made to the APPCC in the year 2013 and further to the then Commission but without any response. On the other hand, the advocate representing the standing counsel has pointed out that the PPA had been entered for the capacity of 6 MW only and if the petitioner has increased it subsequently, they are not inclined to look into it unless and until the petitioner approaches them as directed by the Commission.
The Commission at this stage has made several observations about the act of the petitioner as well as licensee in the matter. It was made clear to the petitioner that the petitioner should place before the Commission the DPR of the project on the basis of which the project was sanctioned and PPA had been entered by the distribution licensee. It should also state whether the PPA contained the project cost and if so, whether it is for 6 MW or 7.5 MW. Applying certain parameters the plant life will be extended or enhanced, is it the case of the petitioner for applying such parameters and enhancing capacity? Is it the case of the petitioner that fixed and variable cost have to be re-determined? The licensee is also not clear on the aspect of agreeing or disagreeing to accept the additional capacity to be contracted with the petitioner. A stock reply is given by the advocate on the instructions of the officer concerned that the petitioner is not approaching them for discussing the matter or for taking a decision on contracting the additional capacity of 1.5 MW, which the Commission views to be the irrelevant answer and is not clear response to the petition. The licensee is also not ready to state whether the fixed cost arrived at and shown in the PPA is with reference to 6 MW capacity or 7.5 MW capacity. In the absence of these details and factual position, matter cannot be proceeded with. The respective parties have to make their stand clear in the matter. Only upon filing the necessary information, the petition can be considered. Therefore, the matter is adjourned without any date.

Abstract
Multi-shifted linear systems with non-Hermitian coefficient matrices arise in numerical solutions of time-dependent partial/fractional differential equations (PDEs/FDEs), in control theory, PageRank problems, and other research fields. We derive efficient variants of the restarted Changing Minimal Residual method based on the cost-effective Hessenberg procedure (CMRH) for this problem class. Then, we introduce a flexible variant of the algorithm that allows to use variable preconditioning at each iteration to further accelerate the convergence of shifted

1 Introduction
In this paper we introduce efficient iterative methods for the simultaneous solution of a sequence of, say t, shifted non-Hermitian linear systems of the form
where A ∈ C n × n is a large, sparse and nonsingular matrix, σi ∈ C are t shifts given at once, I is the n × n identity matrix, x ( i ) and b are solutions and right-hand side vectors of the t linear systems, respectively. Problem (1.1) arises in implicit numerical solutions of partial differential (PDEs) [1, 2] and fractional differential equations (FDEs) [3, 4], in control theory [5, 6], large-scale eigenvalue computations [7], quantum chromodynamics (QCD) applications [8] and in other computational science problems [9–11].
Krylov subspace methods are an efficient alternative to sparse direct methods for solving a sequence of multi-shifted linear systems, owing to the shift-invariance property
where we denote by Km(A, b) := span{b, Ab, . . . , A m − 1 b} the Krylov subspace of dimension m generated by A and b (see [6, 12, 13]). By a suitable choice of the initial vectors x ( i ) 0 , for example take x ( i ) 0 = 0, the solution of systems ( 1.1 ) requires a single Krylov basis [12,13]. This approach has shown to effectively reduce storage and algorithmic costs in the analysis of realistic QCD, PageRank and multi-frequency elastic wave propagation problems [9–11].
Over the last two decades, several shift-invariant Krylov subspace algorithms have been proposed for solving multi-shifted linear systems with general non-Hermitian coefficient matrices. Shifted extensions of the restarted generalized minimum residual (GMRES) method [39–44], the restarted full orthogonalization (FOM) method [18–20] and the restarted Hessenberg method [21] are some relevant examples built upon the wellknown Arnoldi procedure. On the other hand, shifted versions of the quasi-minimal residual (QMR) method and its transpose-free variant (TFQMR) [14], the induced dimension reduction (IDR(s)) [15, 16] and its QMR form [17], the biconjugate gradient (BiCG) method and its stabilized and generalized product-type extensions (BiCGStab, BiCGStab(ℓ) and GPBiCG) [12, 13, 25], the biconjugate residual (BiCR) method and its stabilized form (BiCRSTAB) [24] are built upon short-term vector recurrences such as the Bi-Lanczos [22, pp. 229-233] and the A-biorthogonalization [23, pp. 40-42] procedures.
In [26, 27], recycling variants of BiCG and BiCGSTAB have been applied to the solution of multi-shifted non-Hermitian linear systems arising in model reduction applications.
In this paper we consider the Changing Minimal Residual method based on the Hessenberg procedure [28, pp. 377-382] (shortly, CMRH 1 ) introduced in [29, 30]. The method is based on long-term vector recurrences, like Arnoldi. However, each basis vector li has i − 1 components equal to zero and only one component equal to one; each matrix-vector product involved in the computation of li costs less than the Nz operations required by the Arnoldi procedure, where Nz is the number of nonzero entries of A. Therefore, the method can be cost-effective especially when large Krylov subspaces are generated [21, 29, 31–33]. It has been shown that CMRH and GMRES convergence curves are often comparable [29,30,45]. On problems where GMRES exhibits superlinear convergence, so often does CMRH; when GMRES stagnates, CMRH does so as well. We point the reader to [45, 48] for further discussions, and to [34–36] for some recent developments on the theoretical and algorithmic aspects of the CMRH method [31,35,37], including efficient parallel implementations [29].
We propose an extension of (restarted) CMRH for solving multi-shifted linear systems which preserves the shift-invariance property of Krylov subspaces by forcing the shifted residuals to be collinear to the seed system residual at every cycle, at moderate extra storage and arithmetic operations. It is well known that the use of a preconditioner is essential to accelerate the convergence of Krylov subspace solvers. Many conventional preconditioning techniques are not suitable for solving shifted linear systems as they do not ensure that property (1.2) holds for the preconditioned systems [6, 12, 16, 21]. We present an inner-outer iterative scheme based on nested Krylov subspace methods, where the inner solver is a multi-shifted Krylov method such as shifted FOM, shifted IDR(s), shifted QMRIDR(s) or shifted BiCGSTAB(ℓ) methods that acts as a preconditioner for an outer flexible CMRH (FCMRH) solver [34].
The rest of the current paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, we briefly review the (restarted) CMRH method and we extend it to the solution of multi-shifted linear systems. In Section 3, we derive a restarted shifted CMRH method that preserves the shift-invariance property of Krylov subspaces by forcing the shifted residuals to be collinear to the seed system residual at every cycle. Implementation details and algorithmic complexity of the new method are discussed. In Section 4, we propose a cost-effective nested Krylov subspace method based on shifted CMRH for solving multishifted linear systems. Section 5 presents numerical evidence of the potential of the new family of methods to solve efficiently shifted linear systems arising from QCD and from the solutions of PDEs/FDEs. In Section 6, the paper closes with some final remarks.

Educators in today’s world need a broad understanding of the fundamental right and value of including all children from a variety of backgrounds; including, but not limited to, socio-economic status, language, ethnicity, and ability. This major and professional training program focuses upon educational inclusion for our nation’s increasingly diverse population. Therefore, this program provides candidates with the understandings and skills necessary to navigate the complex systems of teaching and learning within the school and community environments.
This 8 quarter program integrates studies in Elementary Education, Special Education, and across nine additional disciplines including Art, Math, Science, Health, Instructional Technology, and Physical Education. The coursework for this undergraduate program is offered in a prescribed sequence with evening classes, and daytime practicum work most quarters. Students take classes as a cohort and engage in practical experiences at selected schools throughout the region. Undergraduate students undertake the Bachelor of Arts in Education with an Education for Inclusive Environments major. This program leads to recommendation to the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction for a WA state residency teaching certificate with both Elementary and Special Education P-12 endorsements. For further information, please speak with a Teacher Education Outreach Programs (TEOP) coordinator by calling one of the TEOP sites:
Bremerton (360) 475-7269
Everett (425) 405-1646
**Admissions & Retention**
Before students may begin taking courses, they must be admitted to both Western Washington University and Teacher Education Outreach Programs. Admission occurs once a year with a priority application deadline of March 1st. Applications received after that date will be considered on a space available basis. Classes begin in the fall. Program admission requirements include:
- Transferable A.A. degree from a Washington state community college, or satisfaction of Western’s General University Requirements
- Minimum grade point average of 2.75 overall or for the most recent 45 quarter credit hours
- Meet the West-B basic skills requirement. This may be met by: a) Taking the West-B exam, b) SAT minimum scores, c) ACT minimum scores. See wce.wwu.edu/admissions/west-b-requirement for details.
- English composition course, completed with a B- or better
- Three letters of recommendation
- Reflective essay and interview
Retention requires maintenance of a 2.75 quarterly GPA for each quarter after admission. The State of Washington requires students to earn a "C" or better in all major endorsement and most education courses.
**Advisement**
Prospective students are invited to meet with an advisor for more information about the program (see site contacts). At all sites, the student advisor is the Academic Program Director. Students will have regular contact with their advisors and their program coordinators throughout their program.

MORNING SESSION
Don Baloun has been Minnesota's State Conservationist for the NRCS since 2010. He has been responsible for the development and implementation of programs in our state as well as joint regional programs that benefit all of agriculture in Minnesota.
Todd Churchill, The Thousand Hills Cattle Company. Beginning in2003, Thousand Hills Cattle Co. founder has been working with farmers and chefs to provide a healthy, regional source of grass fed beef. In addition to raising his own cattle, Todd has built a cooperative network of independent small family farms in Minnesota and surrounding states to provide a consistent supply of grass fed beef Todd and his committed expert staff inspect all cattle for tenderness, marbling and over all meat quality. The business model is grounded in the principles of stewardship and sustainability. All practices are considered and implemented in a manner consist with this vision.
Brad Heins is an Assistant Professor of Organic Dairy Management at the University of Minnesota's West Central Research Center in Morris, Minnesota. His research and extension program focuses on the best management practices for organic cattle, crossbreeding and group rearing of calves in an organic system. Brad will also discuss a recent research study, which compared: growth, meat quality, consumer acceptability, and profitability of grass-fed dairy steers, grain-supplemented dairy steers, and conventional dairy steers, these findings will help producers explore value-added options for rising and selling dairy-beef steers. The meat quality analysis and taste panel evaluation that the study includes, will provide information to consumers to help them make choices about food quality in a culture that is becoming more aware of how food is produced.
Mariel Graese North Star Bison is a family owned and operated vertically integrated enterprise. To fulfill a life-long dream, it was birthed in September 1994 with the purchase of 2 young bison from Blue Mound State Park in Luverne, Minnesota. In 1995, they continued to grow the herd, during this time, the decision to market the meat directly was made and they formed the distribution division. They realized that 100% grass-fed bison was the best all around; good for the land, good for the animals, and good for people. A licensed custom processing plant was added in 2005 in Conrath, Wisconsin. Their market includes retail and wholesale customers ranging from restaurants to grocery outlets and ranch stores. Today approximately 600 bison are grazed under Holistic Resource Management principles.
Carmelita Nelson has been with the Minnesota DNR for over 25 years. Her career has included many positions with them and now as Prairie co-coordinator. She has worked to expand the numbers of prairie grasslands, by building partnerships, public information and education. By implementing grazing as a management tool she improves habitability.
Kelly Anderson has worked for the Minnesota Department of Agriculture as a Livestock Specialist for five years. Her duties include producer assistance, livestock program development, licensing of livestock dealers and agents and writing grazing plans. She has been working with the Department of Natural Resources to assist with development of the conservation grazing program and writing grazing plans for public land management. Kelly and her husband live near Farwell, MN where they run a herd of 70 cow/calf pairs on a combination of private land, rented pastures, and Fish and Wildlife land.
AFTERNOON SESSION- PRODUCERS PANEL
Jake and Lindsey Grass operate Grass Meadows Farms. This joint operation consists of 120 cow calf pairs for the production of grass fed beef. The cattle are born on a 210 acre farm in St. Louis County. The calves are finished on their 70 acre farm in Pine County. The cattle are sired by Angus bulls and out of Angus, Gelbvieh and Scottish Highland cows. They raise most of their own finishing forage in Pine County on 120 rented acres.
Tim Hendrickson and his family lives west of Menahga, MN (which is located in Becker County). They graze 150 spring and fall calving beef cow/calf pairs. They also custom raise an additional 120 beef cow/calf pairs

Program Notes
One of six musical ensembles that comprise the United States Air Force Band, the Air Force Strings consists of twenty active-duty Airmen musicians performing a wide range of musical styles. The ensemble often entertains audiences at high-level military and government events and appears regularly at civilian ceremonial functions, education outreach events, and public concerts in the metropolitan Washington area.
The Air Force Strings collaborates in today’s performance of Debussy’s Danse sacrée et Danse profane with harpist Emily Dickson, a member of The United States Navy Band. She has also performed with the Dallas Wind Symphony, National Gallery Orchestra, Naval Academy Band, and United States Air Force Band. Active in promoting music education for young people, Dickson teaches early childhood music classes and serves as vice president of her local parent-teacher association.
Noting the affinity and cross-influence between the Frenchman Edgar Degas and the American artist Mary Cassatt, Captain Alpar and the Air Force Strings have selected music by French and American composers who were influential when those artists flourished. Located in Galleries 72 – 76 in the West Building, Degas/Cassatt remains on view until October 5, 2014.

R.Naresh, Dhruvil Patel, Aaryan Krishna
Abstract: Secure car driving is an important entity for safety and is the first priority for any automobile driver and is the main reason for designing a system which captures the state of the drivers eyes and his/her facial variations combined with pulse fluctuations, altogether they gives us parameters to decide whether the driver should be notified or not. Eye detection - more precisely it analyses the eyes and check if they're closed or open using camera module the amount of frames during which eyes are closed is decided. When this number of frames is above a selected threshold, the drive will get a alert. Camera module periodically takes snaps so as to confirm safety..A true time system which captures the state of the driver which will benefit many of us round the globe.

I. INTRODUCTION
Driver Distraction relates to unsatisfactory or no attention given to activities critical for driving. Inattentiveness can either be an intentional or an unintentional distraction of attention by the drive . Driving distraction causes traffic accidents. The increasing use of navigation systems and infotainment systems has led to an increase in driver distraction like talking on phone, taking note of loud music,or even traditional distractions like drowsiness and yawning are indications That needs motivating the drivers transfer attention faraway from the mundane driving task by weakening the drivers auditory, biomechanical, cognitive or visual faculties or combinations thereof. it is vital to note that driver distractions are normally because of a competing trigger activity which will cause driver inattention, which successively decrease driving performance. So so as to take care of the driving feasibility some parameters must be taken care of which comprises of mainly facial and retina variations of driver and his/her heartbeat or pulse because it's shown by some studies that a drivers heartbeat or pulse is higher while driving and is lowered during a fluctuating manner while sleep or distracted and this all parameters help us to formulate that whether the driving force is feeling fatigue or not.

By recognizing variety of the reason for driver distraction, it's possible to isolate scenarios when the rationale for distraction are going to be controlled. the bulk of road accidents nowadays are happening simply because of driver behavior and therefore the fault which may cause death and injuries, and are some of the main reasons for financial losses. Distracted driving sometimes put other drivers in danger as the drowsy driver not only put himself at risk but his/her carelessness may prove fatal for others also. One amongst the explanations for accidents on the road are fatigues of a driver. Hence due to such conditions there is a need of a compact system to predict the drivers behavior so fatal injuries and accidents can be tackled in real time. The given system can help for alerting the driving force when it's distracted. The system detects the face from captured images. If some distraction can happen then the constant sound is played. Driver status notification is distributed to the admin.
II. PRPOSED WORK
Most traffic accidents occur when the drivers fall asleep whilst driving. So it would be beneficial to develop how to detect the drowsiness in the drivers before it occurs and to be able to warn them in time. Many such systems have already been developed or are being developed which support the vehicle behaviour like wheel movements, that specialize in the driving force physical behavior i.e. using supported recording taken of head movements, pulse alteration or grasp strength. This system uses a video camera that tracks eye movements , which have also been developed. Until now no such system has proven to be sufficiently reliable. The existing system used the eye closure ratio as input parameter to detect the drowsiness of the drive . If the eye closing down ratio decreases from the traditional ratio, the drive is notified with the help of a alarm. For our system, a Pi camera module is employed to require the pictures of the driver's eye.

B. Equations
Haar algorithm features can easily be scaled by expanding or the size of the pixel group being inspected. As a result, this enables us to detect features on particular gestures. The variances of contrasts within the pixel groups are accustomed be told comparable light and dark areas. The feature value f of any single Haar feature with k rectangles will be elected by because the following equation
P≤ ((number of Pos.Img-number of Neg.Img)/(1+number ofstages-1))*(1-min hit rate) …{a}
* Haar-like feature-based classifier gives both high precision & speed. It needs fewer microprocessor instructions & has much less false detections. the utilization of integral images causes the high speed of evaluation while rectangular property of the haar like features characterize nonsymmetrical properties of Gesture appearance , so it's perfect for Gesture detection procedure. • The rotated integral image are often calculated by calculating the entire value of the pixels' intensity values which are found at a forty-five-degree angle to the left & above for the x value & below for the y values.
II. IMPLEMENTATION
The Distraction system initially takes input using camera module and identify the driving force then it implies certain parameters to test the drowsiness of the driving force, system use the attention closure ratio as input parameter to detect the drowsiness of the driving force. If the attention closure ratio deteriorates from the quality ratio, the driving force is alerted with the assistance of a buzzer. Haar Cascade may be a machine learning algorithm accustomed identify objects in a very img or video when compared to viola- jones algorithm it is more compact and captures facial and retina movements, altogether the distraction system software harnesses haar cascade to differentiate between drowsy and normal features of driver and open CV platform provides a feasible way to harness the graphical input.
of the black area and also the white areas within the attributes.
The classifier then tries to form the foremost optimized target values for locating and tracking the thing by changing the size of the attributes. Attributes are weak classifiers. this is often because they can't be an accurate classifier alone.
In an object, there are many features and a neighborhood where they're collected contains the wanted object within the image. employing tons of positive and negative images facilitates the detection of the item within the image.
The classifier runs as described above . Its rate of finding the objects inside the image wholly depends on the training m

U.S. CDC Direct Country Support
Brazil launched its national influenza surveillance system in 2000. After the pandemic, there was a need to adapt the strategy of influenza surveillance in Brazil and obtain a better understanding of the clinical, epidemiological and etiological cases of severe acute respiratory infection (SARI) since a variety of agents, beyond influenza are responsible for most of these cases and occurrence may occur in clusters of cases that deserve specific and timely interventions.
Given the need to structure influenza surveillance in Brazil to improve prevention and control activities and identify unusual or new human influenza subtypes, the Ministry of Health (MOH) issued ordinance Official n. 2,693 in 2011. This promotes the strengthening of epidemiological surveillance for influenza in 72 priority municipalities. This will be developed through financial transfers to municipality units. This ordinance also calls for a new model of sentinel surveillance for influenza and establishes criteria for these units in Brazil.
In this new structure, the sentinel influenza surveillance sites have three components: surveillance for severe acute respiratory infection (SARI) cases; influenza-like illness (ILI) cases and weekly aggregate reporting of SARI cases.
Surveillance
The epidemiological surveillance activities for the monitoring of influenza-related respiratory diseases in 2011 are available in the Brazilian Preparation Plan for Coping with Pandemic Influenza and Protocols for Epidemiological Surveillance of Influenza H1N1 2009 Pandemic: Notification, Research and Monitoring and Clinical Management of SARI. These documents were based upon recommendations from the World Health
WHO Region of the Americas (AMR)
113
114
Organization (WHO) to: reduce morbidity and mortality, optimize existing resources through appropriate planning and programming and reduce the socio-economic burden, and impact upon national essential services functioning during an influenza pandemic.
Surveillance Activities
With regard to routine influenza surveillance, the state and municipal health departments:
* monitor unusual events.
* investigate serious cases.
In outbreak situations, the state and municipal health departments are prepared to:
* monitor acute respiratory infections and viruses circulating.
* maintain and update information.
Laboratory
Three central laboratories: Instituto Evandro Chagas (IEC) in Belém, Pará State, northern Brazil; Instituto Adolfo Lutz (IAL), in Sao Paulo; Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz), located in Rio de Janeiro, are classified as National Influenza Centers (NIC) in Brazil.
In addition to the NICs, an additional 27 laboratories also conduct surveillance, one in each federal unit. In 2011, this network of laboratories tested an average of 14,837 (5,214
cases of SARI and 9,173 cases of ILI) clinical samples of nasopharyngeal swabs. It is anticipated that in 2012, the network will process an average of 60,000 samples. The laboratory techniques utilized are: indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) and RT-PCR in real-time.
Laboratory Activities
* In 2011, the ILI sentinel sites sent 9,173 influenza clinical samples of nasopharyngeal secretions to the laboratory network to identify influenza virus. These samples identified 25.7% influenza A viruses and 13.6% for influenza B, by IIF technique. These units report weekly the number of visits, general and ILI cases to the electronic Information System of Epidemiological Surveillance of Influenza (Sivep_Gripe).
* One of the goals of the system is the identification of respiratory viruses circulating in the country. The system also allows for monitoring of the demand for care by the ILI sentinel sites.
* The hospitalized cases of SARI reported in 2011 were more concentrated in cities in the South and Southeast regions of the country. Influenza A/H1N1 2009 was confirmed in the following cities: Belo Horizonte (568 reported cases), Porto Alegre (346), São Paulo (189) and Curitiba (171).
* The NICs received 5,214 clinical samples of nasopharyngeal swabs from SARI cases in hospital, 790 were from Fiocruz, 905 from IEC and 3,519 from IAL. The notification of these cases has been done since the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, using the web-based National Notifiable Disease Information System (Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação Compulsória). Influenza outbreaks are reported through a national information system (Sinan.net) designed to report outbreaks.
* Students from the Brazilian Field Epidemiology Training (FETP) Program participate in investigations of outbreaks and cases of SARI and ILI in the field.
Influenza Division International Activities
|
Fiscal Year 2011 Annual Report
* The MOH publishes an epidemiological bulletin monthly on its website (www.saude.gov.br/svs) with information on cases of SARI and ILI from sentinel sites.
* The NICs send samples of influenza viruses to WHO Collaborating Centers (CC), upload data to FluNet, and also work regularly with collaborators to develop quality control.
* The influenza MOH team has a general coordinator as well as epidemiological and laboratory coordinators. The team has five professionals who work directly with influenza surveillance in the country; one of them works with the administration of the CDC cooperative agreement.
Preparedness
In 2011, Brazil strived to strengthen influenza surveillance with new strategies and guidelines.
Preparedness Activities
* Studying the epidemiological profile of influenza in Brazil.
* Increasing the overall number of specimens collected in all Brazilian geographical regions.
* Monitoring the expansion of existing and new influenza sentinel sites.
* Decentralizing the real-time RT-PCR capabilities to provide capacity for all federal units in the country.
* Integrating epidemiological and laboratory surveillance.
* Enhancing the strategies and measures for control and prevention of influenza in Brazil.
Training
The following trainings were held in Brazil in FY 2011:
* The MOH developed a comprehensive peer training activity for professional workers in the following parts of the national health system: basic health, family health, high complexity services, emergency care, rescue, and public education. These professionals then provided the same training to their state partners.
* Training on treatment and clinical management protocols was conducted.
* This material is the basis for all regional courses for professionals and is available on the MOH web site.
* The NICs provided training in real-time RT-PCR for influenza diagnosis for the state lab network.
* The Brazil MOH hosted train-the-trainer sessions to develop rapid response teams in all states, including remote states.
* The influenza team at the Brazil MOH developed a web course about influenza surveillance to be provided in 2012 in all States and the Federal District.

Pontus Hultén, the new director of the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art, speaks with Richard Rogers, who, with Renzo Piano, designed the controversial Centre National d'Art et de Culture Georges Pompidou in Paris.
Ruth Iskin
When MOCA's new director, Pontus Hultén, came to New York for the first time in 1959, he was struck by the sense that "everything was possible." That feeling has been reverberating through Los Angeles and the rest of the art world now that plans for the first museum of contemporary art in the country are fully underway.
MOCA sources anticipate that the new museum will attract more people than do the Dodgers' and Rams' games. Such optimistic predictions may even underestimate the potential number of museum visitors since Hultén's exhibitions at the Beaubourg drew 500,000 to 1,000,000 people for each one—far more than planners anticipated. (The Picasso show at MOMA drew a record attendance of 1,000,000 in this country.)
Hultén's exhibitions at the Beaubourg were tailored to the Parisian audience, and, likewise, plans for the Los Angeles museum—being made by Hultén and Richard Koshalek (MOCA's Deputy Director and Chief Curator)—will spotlight Southern California's distinct characteristics. For example, one cross-cultural exhibition being considered will feature the automobile and its role in contemporary culture. Custom cars and superior automotive designs, along with about a hundred works of art (from Futurism to the present), will join pop culture and fine arts in an analysis of the automobile, properly examined in the city that has grown up around it. Another exhibition will present Hollywood and its role as the worldwide arbiter of style and taste. Balancing these topics will be a Barnett Newman exhibition and an emerging talent show (one occurring approximately every six months) which will include architects, painters, sculptors, and other artists. There is even talk of a giant outdoor projection screen that could transmit things like the Olympic events. Such a screen was included in the original plan of the Beaubourg.
The Beaubourg Museum, Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers' daring architectural structure, represented a radical departure from the traditional notion of a museum as a remote shrine for art objects. Designing it as "a cultural warehouse," as Rogers likes to call it, has made it the kind of building in which the interaction between
We have forgotten that man-scale is architecturally more important than mass.
—Richard Rogers
itself and the audience is a participatory event. Many MOCA organizers here feel that art is placed in a secondary position at the Beaubourg, and they feel that the environment fails to create the special interaction that much modern and contemporary art calls for.
Recently, Coy Howard (an architect representing the Artists Committee on the Architecture and Design Committee) spoke for the artists, saying "The museum should be a religious building in the sense that it celebrates the unique cultural contribution of artists to society. It is not a commercial building; it is not a recreational building; it is a religious institution." A Trustee and Chair of the Architectural and Design Committee, Max Palevsky, feels that when you enter the museum, "You should have the feeling of crossing a boundary into a space that is more magical, different, something special, rather than having the feeling that you have entered a factory." Howard explains that he is the only elitist (in the classical sense) participating on the committee: "I think that art, by definition, is only for those people who work to understand it; it's not for everybody." That opinion is not shared by directors Pontus Hulten and Richard Koshalek, both of whom have become widely known for their populist approach and their common feeling that museums should have a certain availability and openness that will enlarge art's audience.
Recognizing that any one concept imposed on the plans would be limiting, MOCA planners have adopted a pluralistic stance. They have rejected a purist position in favor of a "hybrid concept," explaining that to truly serve contemporary art, the building needs to welcome a full range of expression: painting and sculpture (demanding classical settings), environmental art, and performance and social-action art (demanding special accommodations).
In the design of the Beaubourg, Richard Rogers and Renzo Piano addressed the needs of modern and contemporary art, as well as the growing audience, by creating a highly flexible loft space that could be redefined for each exhibition. The idea of flexibility receives a different interpretation at MOCA, which is primarily a private museum operating with some supplementary public funding. As such, MOCA could not afford the enormous costs of building walls anew for each exhibition. Nor could it finance the high fire-insurance premiums that would result from an open plan with few firewalls. But beyond these practical considerations, many here feel that contemporary art can best be served by providing a variety of fixed spaces for various uses. Some artists may choose to display their art conventionally; some may mold and develop it by moving building elements around; and still others may choose to challenge the nature of the institution by using loading docks, roofs, stairs, elevators, archival space, or even the security system itself, thus pushing art's investigative mode to an extreme. Howard says that this approach is "based on the realization that art by definition challenges our notions and expectations of how things are in the world. And since that is the case, we have to be willing to accept the inevitability that the institution will be challenged. We must anticipate that challenge so that museum curators and directors will not have to say no to any artist."
MOCA stresses its concern with perceptual flexibility over physical flexibility. Perceptual flexibility means two things, according to Howard: "One, a variety of spaces, and two, a type of architecture that allows perceptual projections. Artists should be able to call out the delicate, subtle qualities of the building, or focus on the bold qualities." Palevsky stresses the anonymous quality of the gallery spaces: "We want galleries that people won't remember. They will remember what is in them, we hope." He explained that the typical artist's working environment—the white loft space having no interfering colors or distractions of any kind—is a model for the galleries.
The Architectural and Design Committee has determined two important concerns for the museum: first, they desire a plan that will ensure the most efficient handling of artworks; second, they hope to bring the curatorial and directorial staff in regular and close confrontation with the art that is exhibited. The latter goal may be achieved by the location of administrative offices that could be placed in such a way as to cause administrators to pass through the exhibitions on their way to the office. Curators will not be isolated in a basement or in a separate wing. (This layout could cause unexpected snags: for example, assuming that attendance hits anticipated records, the staff could find itself trapped in the offices or even unable to pass through the galleries on their way to their offices.)
However, regardless of differing opinions, the point on which all admit to the Beaubourg's success is that of its interrelationship with its urban environment and audience, most apparently accomplished through its large and popular piazza. MOCA representatives stress the fact that they do not have control over the environment of the new museum under the overall plan of the Bunker Hill Associates. Howard has said, "We feel that there are some misunderstandings, for example, about the ethnic mix that exists in Los Angeles and the notions about how the citizens will use the downtown area. We are in conversation with the Community Redevelopment Agency
