Grant amount and grant period The Australian Government has approved a total of $153.6 million over four years for the Defence Industry Development Grants Program. For this stream, approximately $12 million (approximately $3 million per year from 2024-25 to 2027-28) will be available, however an authorised officer within Defence will have discretion to reprofile the funding between the streams to ensure the most meritorious applications are funded. Grants available [x] The minimum grant amount is $10,000. [x] The maximum grant amount is $100,000. You are required to contribute towards the grant activities. The grant amount will be up to 50 per cent of eligible expenditure. You cannot use funding from other Commonwealth, state, territory or local government sources to fund your share of eligible expenditure. The funding is capped at $200,000 in a three-year period per recipient as identified by ABN. If you have received the maximum $200,000 in a three-year period, you may apply for further funding within the three-year period but cannot start your new project until the three-year term has expired. The three-year period commences on the date on which the first grant agreement is executed. You are responsible for the remaining eligible and ineligible project costs. Project period The maximum project period is 18 months. You must complete your project by 31 March 2028. 4.

overhead You may increase eligible salary costs by an additional 30 per cent allowance to cover on-costs such as employer paid superannuation, payroll tax, workers compensation insurance, and overheads such as office rent and the purchase or provision of computing equipment directly required or related to the delivery of the project. You should calculate eligible salary costs using the formula below: You cannot calculate labour costs by estimating the employee's worth. If you have not exchanged money (either by cash or bank transactions) we will not consider the cost eligible. Evidence you will need to provide can include: [x] details of all personnel working on the project, including name, title, function, time spent on the project and salary [x] ATO payment summaries, pay slips and employment contracts. A.5 Contract expenditure Eligible contract expenditure is the cost of any agreed project activities that you contract others to do. These can include contracting: [x] another organisation [x] an individual who is not an employee, but engaged under a separate contract. All contractors must have a written contract prior to starting any project work—for example, a formal agreement, letter or purchase order which specifies: [x] the nature of the work they perform [x] the applicable fees, charges and other costs payable. Invoices from contractors must contain: [x] a detailed description of the nature of the work [x] the hours and hourly rates involved [x] any specific plant expenses paid. Invoices must directly relate to the agreed project, and the work must qualify as an eligible expense. The costs must also be reasonable and appropriate for the activities performed. We will require evidence of contractor expenditure that may include: [x] an exchange of letters (including email) setting out the terms and conditions of the proposed contract work [x] purchase orders [x] supply agreements [x] invoices and payment documents. You must ensure all project contractors keep a record of the costs of their work on the project. We may require you to provide a contractor's records of their costs of doing project work. If you cannot provide these records, the relevant contract expense may not qualify as eligible expenditure. A.6 Travel and overseas expenditure Eligible travel and overseas expenditure may include: [x] domestic travel limited to the reasonable cost of accommodation and transportation required to conduct agreed project and collaboration activities in Australia [x] overseas travel limited to the reasonable cost of accommodation and transportation required in cases where the overseas travel is material to the conduct of the project in Australia. Eligible air transportation is limited to the economy class fare for each sector travelled; where noneconomy class air transport is used only the equivalent of an economy fare for that sector is eligible expenditure. Where non-economy class air transport is used, the grantee will require evidence showing what an economy airfare costs at the time of travel. We will consider value for money when determining whether the cost of overseas expenditure is eligible. This may depend on: [x] the proportion of total grant funding that you will spend on overseas expenditure [x] the proportion of the service providers total fee that will be spent on overseas expenditure [x] how the overseas expenditure is likely to aid the project in meeting the program objectives. Overseas travel must be at an economy rate and you must demonstrate you cannot access the service, or an equivalent service in Australia. Eligible overseas activities expenditure is generally limited to 10 per cent of total eligible expenditure. A.7 Other eligible expenditure Other eligible expenditures for the project may include: [x] financial auditing of project expenditure, the cost of an independent audit of project expenditure (where we request one) up to a maximum of 1 per cent of total eligible project expenditure [x] costs you incur to obtain planning, environmental or other regulatory approvals during the project period [x] contingency costs up to a maximum of 10 per cent of the eligible project costs. Note that we make payments based on actual costs incurred. Other specific expenditures may be eligible as determined by the program delegate. Evidence you need to supply can include supplier contracts, purchase orders, invoices and supplier confirmation of payments. Appendix B.

You must ensure you have adequate funds to meet the costs of any ineligible expenditure associated with the grant project.	3fbee8f9-9607-4876-b6e6-472e714f11c7-1	0	3	3	2

Compendium Study The TOEIC® Listening and Reading test is an assessment of proficiency in English language as it is used in the global workplace, where English is the means of communication among both native and non-native speakers. Since 1979, the TOEIC test scores have informed decisions regarding recruitment, job placement, promotion, and training, and the test has been widely recognized as a worldwide standard in the assessment of international English use. In January 2003, a team of content and statistical analysis specialists was formed to consider a redesign of the TOEIC Listening and Reading test as it then existed. The test redesign coincided with an effort to investigate the possibility of making high quality TOEIC Speaking and Writing tests available to test score users as additional test components. Information about the development and design of the constructed response modules is available separately. This document focuses on the redesign of the TOEIC Listening and Reading test. The goals of the redesign project were: 1. bring the test into alignment with current theories of language proficiency, 2. identify the major variables contributing to the difficulty of language tasks on the revised test using evidence-centered design (ECD) methodology to, and 3. provide more proficiency information that is meaningful to test takers and score users. The TOEIC redesign team was able to utilize and build on the theoretical and research base for English language learning and testing that had been developed over the course of a decade by the TOEFL iBT™ project. The history and findings of that project have been documented in detail and published in book form. The theoretical underpinnings of language proficiency are documented in the new TOEFL listening and reading frameworks (Bejar, Douglas, Jamieson, Nissan, & Turner, 2000; Enright, Grabe, Koda, Mosenthal, Mulcahy-Ernt, & Schedl, 2000) and numerous monographs. Aligning the Test With Current Language Theory Current language theory recognizes the complexity of authentic language contexts; in these contexts, it is often necessary for the learner to use multiple abilities and strategies in order to comprehend and connect information that is heard and read. Communication in real-world situations usually requires the simultaneous engagement of lexical, grammatical, phonetic and pragmatic language abilities. While the Classic TOEIC Listening and Reading test included brief spoken and written text samples, it also included a number of very short, single sentence contexts that focused on discrete language abilities. Table 1 illustrates the components of the TOEIC Listening and Reading test sections prior to the redesign. Table 1 The TOEIC Listening and Reading Test Before Redesign Proposed revisions to this format included: 1. lengthening some of the listening and reading stimuli 2. varying the accents in the recorded stimuli in the listening test 3. eliminating the error recognition item type from the reading section 4. reducing the number of photograph items in the listening section 5. replacing some of the error recognition items in the reading section with passage-based sentence completions 6. including some sets of items in the reading section that were based on two related passages Lengthening the Listening and Reading Stimuli The redesign team found that most of the item types represented in the TOEIC test did require examinees to understand language in context, whether in a single spoken or written sentence or a longer text, and to use multiple language abilities and strategies. However, because the team recognized how important it is in many real-world situations to process longer spoken and written texts, the team considered lengthening some of the listening and reading stimuli. This would create more opportunities for examinees to demonstrate their ability to understand language not only at the sentence level but also within a larger context. Consequently, one of the research questions posed by the redesign team was whether longer listening and reading texts could be used to broaden the measurement of examinee abilities and increase the authenticity of the TOEIC Listening and Reading test. The proposed redesign would increase the number of items associated with each stimulus and reduce the total number of stimuli. An additional advantage of using longer stimuli with more questions per stimulus was that the number of different topics examinees needed to process would be reduced. Varying Accents Another revision to the stimuli (the dialogues, conversation, and talks) of the listening section was proposed as a means to improve authenticity. The Classic TOEIC Listening and Reading test included only standard American accents. The design team proposed varying the accents used in the listening section because the TOEIC test is a test of international English, and examinees are likely to need to communicate with a variety of English speakers. With different English accents represented in the test, the redesigned test would reflect the varieties of standard English that listeners would likely be exposed to both in learning English and in hearing it spoken in the international workplace. Eliminating Error Recognition Items Of the item types in the Cassic TOEIC Listening and Reading test, the error recognition items were determined to be the least appropriate from the point of view of current language proficiency theories. These items required examinees to identify errors in discrete sentences. Rather than measuring the ability of examinees to understand authentic communication, the items measured the ability to recognize lexical and grammatical errors in written language. This item type was tentatively marked for exclusion from the Redesigned TOEIC Listening and Reading test. Three other revisions were proposed to test item content to meet the first project goal of modernizing the test by bringing it into alignment with current theories of language proficiency. Reducing the Number of Photograph Items The redesign team decided to reduce the number of discrete single-sentence photograph items in the listening section from 20 to 10 in prototype forms, pilot tests, and finally in the field study. The photograph items were typically the easiest items on the test, and they were also, therefore, less discriminating for the majority of examinees than other item types. The decision to keep half of them was made for several reasons: some very easy items were appropriate to discriminate lower-level examinees; the photograph items add visual interest to the test; and the items are useful for testing sound discrimination. Adding Text-Completion Items The reading section of the Classic TOEIC Listening and Reading test included 40 incomplete sentence items measuring grammatical and lexical abilities in single-sentence contexts. To engage authentic interrelated language abilities more typical of the abilities necessary in communicative contexts in the real world, it was proposed that some longer contexts be created to contextualize items in passage format. Some of the items would require the examinee to connect information across different parts of a text in order to answer the question correctly. This design would allow examinees with greater communicative abilities to benefit from their understanding of the larger context. Including Linked Passages Another revision that was proposed to improve the measurement of reading abilities was the inclusion of some linked passages. These consisted of two related texts on a common topic. For example, the stimuli might consist of an e-mail exchange between two people, or an advertisement and a business letter on a common topic. Questions would be asked about both texts and some questions would require connecting information from both texts. Evidence-Centered Design (ECD) Concurrent with the analysis of the Classic TOEIC Listening and Reading test from the perspective of communicative competence, the redesign team began work on the second goal of the project: identifying and controlling major variables contributing to the difficulty of language tasks on the test, using ECD methodology. ECD is a test-design process that begins with a discussion of the kinds of information it would be valuable to provide to test score users about the abilities examinees have or do not have, based on their test performance. Value is defined in terms of the information needed to support the decisions made by test users based on test scores. Test designers first decide what information about examinee abilities the test user needs; they then consider what evidence would support this information, and they determine how to obtain the evidence through tasks on the test. Test items are then designed so that evidence can be collected based on examinees' performance on the items. The evidence collected is what is then used to characterize each examinee's proficiency. Using this ECD approach, performance on test items is directly linked to evidence about language abilities. In addition to making explicit the rationale for selecting what abilities to measure, evaluating what evidence of these abilities to collect, and determining the types of items that will allow evidence to be collected, ECD also allows for an opportunity in the future to produce diagnostic proficiency information. Stages of the Project There were four stages to the project, which will be discussed here: * Construct identification * Prototyping * Pilot testing * Field testing Construct Identification In the construct identification stage, the Classic TOEIC Listening and Reading test forms were reviewed using an ECD approach. The design team considered the language abilities that examinees need in the real world, the abilities the Classic TOEIC Listening and Reading test measured, and ways to improve the precision of measurement so that more information about examinee	57dff52b-427d-48c8-a5ca-bb6dab055ebc-0	1	4	3	3
had been proposed at the time of the pilot testing. Therefore, the field study forms were 200 items in length. Table 5 summarizes the final design. Table 5 Final Design of the Redesigned TOEIC Test in the Pilot Tests Items 101-140 Section 2 Reading Comprehension (Items 101-200) Incomplete sentences (40 items; 20 vocabulary & 20 grammar) Items 141-152 Text-completion sets (12 items total) 3 sets with 4 questions each (subsequently revised to 4 sets with 3 questions each) Items 153-180 Reading sets, including tables or charts (28 items total) 9 sets with 2-4 items each Items 181-200 Double passage sets (20 items total) 4 sets with 5 questions each In the pilot tests, the order of the sections was the reverse of that in the Classic TOEIC Listening and Reading test. For the field study, the original order (listening section followed by reading section) was restored for practical reasons related to the ease of administering the test. Items in both forms of the field study were coded for the listening and reading claims and abilities identified in the construct identification stage. However, reading claims 5 and 9 were omitted because it had not been possible in the pilot testing to generate sufficient numbers of these items for accurate predictions of examinee abilities. Each item was also coded for the difficulty variables that had appeared to be most relevant in the pilottesting stage, and these variables were used to design sets of items predicted to be of parallel difficulty in the two forms. The field study was intended to answer the following questions: * Could the existing TOEIC scale be used to report performance on the proposed redesign of the Classic TOEIC Listening and Reading test? * Could the new TOEIC items be designed to replicate the overall difficulty and reliability of the Classic TOEIC Listening and Reading test? * Could the listening and reading claims and underlying abilities (those identified in the construct identification stage and shown to be most relevant in the pilot testing) be used to provide improved feedback to the test score users about the language proficiency of the TOEIC examinees? The first and second questions have been answered in the affirmative (see Compendium Study 4.1). The Redesigned TOEIC items were found to be comparable to the Classic TOEIC items in difficulty and reliability, and the Redesigned TOEIC test fits the existing TOEIC scale. The third question — whether the claims and underlying abilities associated with the Redesigned TOEIC items can be used to provide improved feedback to test score users — has also been answered in the affirmative. An analysis of the listening and reading claims was carried out to determine the extent to which the claims and abilities could be used to provide additional score report information. In some cases, too few items had been included to support reliable feedback for that claim. Claim 2 of the listening claims (Understanding Details) had more than enough items associated with it, but there were too few items associated with claims 3 and 4. This imbalance was addressed by splitting claims 1 and 2 (Inferring Gist and Understanding Details) into four claims by adding the component of length to further differentiate the abilities needed to infer gist and understand details. Table 6 compares the listening claims that resulted to the listening claims originally identified in the ECD stage. The original claims 3 and 4 are now accounted for as part of the new claims 3 and 4, resulting in the same number of claims but a better distribution of items in each claim category. Table 6 Comparison of Claims About the Listening Section In the reading section, claims for items with too few exemplars in the field study were merged with claims for items requiring very similar or identical underlying abilities. Table 7 compares the resulting claims about the reading section to the claims about the reading section originally identified in the ECD stage. Table 7 Comparison of Claims About the Reading Section Note. Claims 5 and 9 were not represented in the field study. After these revisions were implemented, a second analysis of the claims was run on all items in both forms of the field study, and a high degree of reliability for this type of analysis was achieved for all claims. Next Steps With decisions about test design finalized and test specifications in place, next steps were to determine exactly what types of information would be provided to test score users and how this type of information could be most effectively presented. Tying items on each test form to specific claims about examinee abilities would allow examinees to receive a percent-correct score for each of several language abilities. In addition, a scale anchoring study was instituted so that scaled score points on the test scale could be aligned with descriptions of language skill areas (see Chapter 5).

Features of current flow in the CoFe2O4/n-CdTe heterojunction Ivan G. Orletskyi 1, Ivan P. Koziarskyi 1, Maya V. Koval 1, Maria I. Ilashchuk 1, Eduard V. Maistruk 1, and Dmytro P. Koziarskyi 1 1 Yuriy Fedkovych Chernivtsi National University, 2 Kotsubinsky str., 58002 Chernivtsi, Ukraine The CoFe2O4/n-CdTe heterojunction was produced by growing thin films of CoFe2O4 cobalt ferrite with a thickness of w ≈ 0.5 μm on the surfaces of n-CdTe substrates by the spray pyrolysis method. Spray pyrolysis was carried out under conditions of atmospheric pressure at a substrate temperature of TS = 350 ºC. A mixture of 0.1 M solutions of CoCl2·6H2O and FeCl3·6H2O salts in the Fe/Co = 2 ratio in bidistilled water was used to generate the aerosol. During the pyrolysis of salts, cobalt and iron interact with atmospheric oxygen, resulting in the formation of a film of cobalt ferrite CoFe2O4 with weak n-type conductivity and high resistivity (ρ ≈ 10 7 Ω∙cm) at room temperature. According to studies of light transmission of CoFe2O4 films in the visible region on a SF-2000 spectrometer, calculation and analysis of the spectral dependence of the absorption coefficient, the band gap width of CoFe2O4 films produced by spay pyrolysis is Eg ≈ 2.3 eV and is in good agreement with literature data [1]. Ohmic contacts to low-resistance n-CdTe crystals were made by indium infusion. Contacts to the CoFe2O4 film were created using silver-based conductive paste. The I-V-characteristic of the CoFe2O4/n-CdTe heterojunction has diode properties (Fig. 1). The rectification ratio at T = 293 K is 3·10 5 (at voltages \|V\| = 1.5 V). According to the temperature dependence of the I-Vcharacteristics in the range of forward biases for which the coefficient of non-ideality is close to unity ( n ≈ 1.35), the height of the potential barrier qV b = 0.8 eV was determined (Fig. 1, inset). At forward biases of 3kT/q < V < 0.5 V, an over-barrier current flows in the CoFe2O4/n-CdTe heterojunction, and at forward voltages of 0.5 V < V < 1 V, electrons tunnel through the heterojunction barrier in the conduction zone. Tunneling is carried out with the participation of energy states in the band gap of n-CdTe near the contact with the CoFe2O4 film. At temperatures higher than 348 K (Fig. 1), a negative differential resistance is observed. This is due to a decrease in the concentration of electron-free energy states as the temperature increases, to which electrons from the n-CdTe conduction zone can move and then tunnel into the CoFe2O4 conduction zone. At the same time, the forward current decreases and is restored to its previous value at higher voltages. At reverse biases -3 V < V < -3kT/q, a generation mechanism of current generation due to thermal generation of charge carriers is observed in the n-CdTe region depleted of the main charge	5aecf462-006c-49f5-9508-92facba3a5c5-0	1	4	3	2

Yet today, many of us who live in aﬄuent societies choose aspects of our lives from a global cultural supermarket, whether in terms of food, the arts or spiritual beliefs. So if roots are becoming simply one more consumer choice, can we still claim to possess a fundamental cultural identity? Global Culture/Individual Identity focuses on three groups for whom the tension between a particular national culture and the global cultural supermarket is especially acute: Japanese artists, American religious seekers and Hong Kong intellectuals after the handover to China. These ethnographic case studies form the basis for a theory of culture which we can all see reﬂected in our own lives. Gordon Mathews opens up the complex and debated topics of globalization, culture and identity in a clear and lively style. Capoeira Connections Bold Type Books This innovative collection examines the transnational movements, eﬀects, and transformations of religion in the contemporary world, oﬀering a fresh perspective on the interrelation between globalization and religion. Transnational Transcendence challenges some widely accepted ideas about this relationship—in particular, that globalization can be understood solely as an economic phenomenon and that its religious manifestations are Downloaded from ftp.bonide.com by guest secondary. The book points out that religion's role remains understudied and undertheorized as an element in debates about globalization, and it raises questions about how and why certain forms of religious practice and intersubjectivity succeed as they cross national and cultural boundaries. Framed by Thomas J. Csordas's introduction, this timely volume both urges further development of a theory of religion and globalization and constitutes an important step toward that theory. Samba Human Kinetics Asian Settler Colonialism is a groundbreaking collection that examines the roles of Asians as settlers in Hawai'i. Contributors from various ﬁelds and disciplines investigate aspects of Asian settler colonialism to illustrate its diverse operations and impact on Native Hawaiians. Essays range from analyses of Japanese, Korean, and Filipino settlement to accounts of Asian settler practices in the legislature, the prison industrial complex, and the U.S. military to critiques of Asian settlers' claims to Hawai'i in literature and the visual arts. The Routledge Companion to the Anthropology of Performance Univ of California Press This year's conference explores the ways in which dance forms circulate across communities, regions and nations, acquiring new meanings as they travel. While the term "globalization" has gained currency in scholarly debates of recent years, the dispersion of performance practices is hardly a new phenomenon. Thus, the conference includes both historical and contemporary analyses of dances' migrations. What happens when dances migrate? It is common knowledge that founding ﬁgures in European and Euro-American modern dance appropriated Asian movement vocabularies in 1 their choreographies. But scholars are only beginning to examine the ways in which Latin American, African, and Asian "fokloric" dance convention has been inﬂected by European concert dance training and stage practice, as well as MTV choreographers. By focusing on the circulation of movement styles, pedagogies and performance conventions, we hope to trouble some of the categoric distinctions which have tended to divide dance research: between "Western" and "non-Western", "classical" and "folkloric", and "ritual", "social" and "theatrical" genres. Arguably, the histories of many contemporary dance forms are more complex than such restrictive categories would admit... A Prisoner in Rio Routledge Introduces the sport of parkour, or freerunning, which combines the core elements of running, jumping, climbing, and other physical movements with the goal of moving the body over and around obstacles in an urban environment without stopping Transnational Transcendence Bookbaby In an eﬀort to challenge the ways in which colonial power relations and Eurocentric knowledges are reproduced in participatory research, this book explores whether and how it is possible to use arts-based methods for creating more horizontal and democratic research practices. In discussing both the transformative potential and limitations of arts-based methods, the book asks: What can arts-based methods contribute to decolonising participatory research and its processes and practices? The book takes part in ongoing debates related to the need to decolonise research, and investigates practical contributions of arts-based methods in the practice-led research domain. Further, it discusses the role of artistic research in depth, locating it in a decolonising context. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, design, ﬁne arts, service design, social sciences and development studies. The Little Capoeira Book, Revised Edition Traﬀord Publishing This book is freely available in an open access edition thanks to TOME (Toward an Open Monograph Ecosystem)—a collaboration of the Association of American Universities, the Association of University Presses, and the Association of Research Libraries—and the generous support of Duke University. A portrait of the game of capoeira and its practice across borders Originating in the Black Atlantic world as a fusion of dance and martial art, capoeira was a marginalized practice for much of its history. Today it is globally popular. This ethnographic memoir weaves together the history of capoeira, recent transformations in the practice, and personal insights from author Katya Wesolowski's thirty years of experience as a capoeirista. Capoeira Connections follows Wesolowski's journey from novice to instructor while drawing on her decades of research as an anthropologist in Brazil, Angola, Europe, and the United States. In a story of local practice and global ﬂow, Wesolowski oﬀers an intimate portrait of the game and what it means in people's lives. She reveals camaraderie and conviviality in the capoeira ring as well as tensions and ruptures involving race, gender, and competing claims over how this artful play should be practiced. Capoeira brings people together and yet is never free of histories of struggle, and these too play out in the game's encounters. In her at once clear-sighted and hopeful analysis, Wesolowski ultimately argues that capoeira oﬀers opportunities for connection, dialogue, and collaboration in a world that is increasingly fractured. In doing so, capoeira can transform lives, create social spheres, and shape mobile futures.

Transmigratory Moves Meyer & Meyer Verlag Winner of Oscar G. Brockett Book Prize for Dance Research, given by DSA, 2021 Staging Brazil: Choreographies of Capoeira is the ﬁrst in-depth study of the processes of legitimization and globalization of capoeira, the Afro-Brazilian combat game practiced today throughout the world. Ana Paula Höﬂing contextualizes the emergence of the two main styles of capoeira, angola and regional, within discourses of race and nation in mid-twentieth century Brazil. This history of capoeira's corporeality, on the page and on the stage, includes analysis of illustrated capoeira manuals and reveals the mutual inﬂuences between capoeira practitioners, tourism bureaucrats, intellectuals, artists, and directors of folkloric ensembles. Staging Brazil sheds light on the importance of capoeira in folkloric shows in the 1960s and 70s—both those that catered to tourists visiting Brazil and those that toured abroad and introduced capoeira to the world.

To heal, Ford tries a wide range of therapies, lifestyle changes, and recovery meetings. "Anything," she writes, "to keep from going back there." But what she learns is that she needs to go back there, to return to her female ancestors, and unearth what she can about them to start to feel whole. Currency Companion to Music and Dance in Australia University Press of Florida Severe abuse marked D.J. Grant's childhood while he lived with his mother, until he was suddenly sent away to live with an unknown father. His life changed again when he and his father saw a martial arts movie, which inﬂuenced him to learn self-defense. Now in his early twenties and a student of Tae Kwon Do, D.J. is excited about a promotion from second degree to third degree black belt status. D.J. had specialized in one style of self-defense. Now he faces disappointment when, instead of promotion, his instructor tells him to ﬁrst experience the history of the martial arts world. During a walk home, a brief discussion ensues with two friends. D.J. is inexplicably separated from them and introduced to Nerrot, Master of all Keepers of the Art. This meeting takes place in SymDo, a subconscious, mystical realm existing within the minds of martial arts students and practitioners. For every martial artist, there is a Keeper of the Art who is responsible for maintaining the martial artist's memories. Nerrot, the Master of all the Keepers of the Arts, has chosen D.J. to replace him as the next master. Before D.J. can succeed Nerrot, he is pitted against Tarag, a former protg who was exiled from the Five Sacred Temples of SymDo for stealing a pendant that can be used to control the mystical powers. D.J. is taken to ﬁve countries to experience and learn their martial arts histories. Tarag's interference forces D.J. and Nerrot to physically experience historic events that put their lives at risk. D.J. must complete the experiences, helping Nerrot to save SymDo, while outwitting Tarag. The Ultimate Parkour & Freerunning Book Currency Press Capoeira is simultaneously a dance, a ﬁght, and a game. Created by the Africans brought to Brazil as slaves beginning in 1500, capoeira was forbidden by law but survived underground. When open practice was allowed in the 1930s it soon became very popular. Capoeira came to America around 1975, and has become widely recognized by dancers and martial artists. The author discusses capoeira's evolution from Brazilian street play into a way of life. The philosophy of capoeira, and the practical and spiritual beneﬁts of this philosophy, are also discussed. Instructions and exercises in intermediate and advanced skills take up where the author's previous book left oﬀ. The book includes 100 black-and-white photos and illustrations. Cord 2001 Routledge In Plastic Bodies Emilia Sanabria examines how sex hormones are enrolled to create, mold, and discipline social relations and subjectivities. She shows how hormones have become central to contemporary understandings of the body, class, gender, sex, personhood, modernity, and Brazilian national identity. Through interviews with women and doctors; observations in clinics, research centers and pharmacies; and analyses of contraceptive marketing, Sanabria traces the genealogy of menstrual suppression, from its use in population control strategies in the global South to its remarketing as a practice of pharmaceutical self-enhancement couched in neoliberal notions of choice. She links the widespread practice of menstrual suppression and other related elective medical interventions to Bahian views of the body as a malleable object that requires constant work. Given this bodily plasticity, and its potentially limitless character, the book considers ways to assess the values attributed to bodily interventions. Plastic Bodies will be of interest to all those working in medical anthropology, gender studies, and sexual and reproductive health. Experiencing Stanislavsky Today SAGE Publications This pioneering introduction to Stanislavsky's methods and modes of actor training covers all of the essential elements of his System. Recreating 'truthful' behaviour in the artiﬁcial environment, awareness and observation, psychophysical work, given circumstances, visualization and imagination, and active analysis are all introduced and explored. Each section of the book is accompanied by individual and group exercises, forming a full course of study in the foundations of modern acting. A glossary explains the key terms and concepts that are central to Stanislavsky's thinking at a glance. The book's companion website is full of downloadable worksheets and resources for teachers and students. Experiencing Stanislavsky Today is enhanced by contemporary ﬁndings in psychology, neuroscience, anatomy and physiology that illuminate the human processes important to actors, such as voice and speech, creativity, mind-body connection, the process and the production of emotions on cue. It is the deﬁnitive ﬁrst step for anyone encountering Stanislavsky's work, from acting students exploring his methods for the ﬁrst time, to directors looking for eﬀective rehearsal tools and teachers mapping out degree classes. Sprechende Körper Oxford University Press "Celebrity manual therapist and movement coach Aaron Alexander shows readers how posture and body alignment are powerful tools for building strength, achieving peak performance, reducing pain, and approaching the world with a new sense of conﬁdence."-Capoeira Taylor & Francis The Divine is a multicultural 100-page coloring book for people of all ages (especially the child in all of us) inspired by folklore and spirituality from the Philippines (Diwatas), Haiti (Lwas of Vodou) and Brazil (Orixás of Candomble and deities of the Indigenous Brazilian Tupi Tribe). Thirteen divinities from each culture are represented, along with the folklore and symbolism associated with each of the divinities. Included throughout the book are inspirational quotes, mindfulness activities for children, and poetry featuring Eniafe Isis of All Her Words, Aimee Amparo, and Haitian songs by Daniel "Brav" Brevil. 40 full-page, 8.5x11 illustrations. Artists include: Andre Hora, Gabrielle Tesfaye, Fermina Caragay Armstrong, Salima Silagon Saway, Grace Bio, Rahana Dariah, Zachary "Bodinho" Present, Stephen Hamilton, Cece Carpio, Nikila Badua/MamaWisdom1, Wisthon Thime, Dee Jae Pa'este, Ubi Maya, Mitzi Ulloa, Rodney Sanon and Laylie Frazier. While many of us grew up with mythologies about Greek and Roman gods, as well as stories like Cinderella, Little Mermaid and Robin Hood, few of us have been exposed to the stories included in The Divine--stories that have been passed down from generation to generation through traditional dance, music, and oral storytelling. The Divine draws a connection between the cultures and beliefs of these diasporas, in hopes of giving them the attention they deserve. From the Americas to Africa to the islands, let's continue to carry and pass down the wisdom that lies in these stories. This book is something meant to grow with and meet the reader where they are.

The poetry, quotes and songs are meant for older youth and adults. And the folklore/symbolism is meant for older youth and grown-ups to read with little ones. Every people, every culture has its own way of honoring the sacred and the spiritual. When we apply the wisdom of these stories to our everyday lives, we discover a deeper relationship to the world around us. Before our lives began, before we believed, the Divine has been both within us and outside of us. Botanical Inks Wesleyan University Press Yoruba peoples of southwestern Nigeria conceive of rituals as journeys -- sometimes actual, sometimes virtual. Performed as a parade or a procession, a pilgrimage, a masking display, or possession trance, the journey evokes the reﬂexive, progressive, transformative experience of ritual 3 3 participation. Yoruba Ritual is an original and provocative study of these practices. Using a performance paradigm, Margaret Thompson Drewal forges a new theoretical and methodological approach to the study of ritual that is thoroughly grounded in close analysis of the thoughts and actions of the participants. Challenging traditional notions of ritual as rigid, stereotypic, and invariant, Drewal reveals ritual to be progressive, transformative, generative, and reﬂexive and replete with simultaneity, multifocality, contingency, indeterminacy, and intertextuality. Throughout the book prominence is given to the intentionality of actors as knowledgeable agents who transform ritual itself through play and improvisation. Integral to the narrative are interpolations about performances and their meanings by Kolawole Ositola, a scholar of Yoruba oral tradition, ritual practitioner, diviner, and master performer. Rich descriptions of rituals relating to birth, death, reincarnation, divination, and constructions of gender are rendered all the more vivid by a generous selection of ﬁeld photos of actual performances.	a5451a45-ffa9-42db-88ab-568162773ef7-1	2	4	3	2

South Dakota Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources Medical Cannabis Wastewater and Solid Waste Disposal Frequently Asked Questions Pretreatment Industrial User Permits Do medical cannabis dispensaries need to apply for a Pretreatment Industrial User Permit? No, the dispensaries would only be producing domestic wastewater (from bathrooms and sinks) and would not produce a process wastewater. A pretreatment industrial user permit will not be required to discharge domestic wastewater to a municipal sanitary sewer system. Do manufacturers/growers of medical cannabis need to apply for a Pretreatment Industrial User permit? If a manufacturer or grower generates wastewater from the production process and discharges the wastewater to the sanitary sewer, the South Dakota Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources (DANR) will need to review the details of the operation to determine if a pretreatment industrial user permit is needed. Please consider the following questions: * Do you grow the cannabis in a greenhouse and use fertilizer or pesticides? * Do you discharge more than 25,000 gallons per day to a municipal sanitary sewer system? * Do you use chemicals to aid in the extraction of the THC? * Is your discharge more than 5% of the wastewater treatment facility's flow? If you answer "Yes" to any of these questions, you may need a pretreatment industrial user permit. If your operation is located within the following cities, DANR has delegated permitting authority to those cities. You will need to contact the local pretreatment program to obtain a determination on whether a permit is needed: * Aberdeen- Amanda Fischer (605) 626-7043 * Huron- Aaron Rogers (605) 353-8539 * Brookings- Matt Volkers (605) 693-3287 * Mitchell- Jon Vermeulen (605) 945-8446 * Sioux Falls- Jesse Neyens (605) 367-8278 * Rapid City- Leah Hall (605) 394-4174 * Watertown- Craig Mitchell (605) 882-6244 A pretreatment industrial user permit issued by one of these cities meets the requirements of a state-issued permit. For the rest of the communities in South Dakota, please contact DANR's Pretreatment Coordinator Kyle Doerr (605-773-3351) to determine if a permit is needed. If I need a Pretreatment Industrial User permit, how long will it take? It can take up to six months to obtain a pretreatment industrial user permit. Please begin working with DANR as soon as possible to ensure we can issue a permit before you begin your manufacturing operation. A copy of the application is available online: https://danr.sd.gov/OfficeOfWater/SurfaceWaterQuality/docs/DANR_E0465V1- c_nipwd_Appl.pdf Onsite Wastewater Disposal Can manufacturers/growers of medical cannabis dispose of cannabis production wastewater in their on-site wastewater system? Yes, however, operators planning to use an on-site wastewater system for disposal must submit plans and specifications to DANR for review and approval prior to construction. Once approved a copy of DANR's approval letter will be available upon request. Solid Waste Disposal How do I legally dispose of cannabis waste? The best disposal option is to use one of South Dakota's 15 regional municipal solid waste landfills. Landfill operators are already knowledgeable on how to render similar wastes unrecognizable and unfit for use prior to disposal. Location and contact information for South Dakota's municipal solid waste landfills can be found at: https://danr.sd.gov/Environment/WasteManagement/SolidWaste/Landfills.aspx Can I compost cannabis waste? Yes, if the cannabis waste is generated and composted on your own property. However, solid waste permitting by DANR is required if an operator accepts cannabis waste or other compostable materials from offsite sources. Do I need a license or permit to transport cannabis waste? No, DANR does not require a license or permit to transport cannabis waste. However, cannabis waste hauled offsite must be transported to a landfill facility permitted to accept the waste for disposal or composting. DANR Contact	d2c54afe-b2f9-4f52-a135-6e9c0dcc3f10-0	1	3	4	3

Hans-Heinrich Reckeweg Clinical Case Award 2019 Clinical CAse REporting Because we CARE Be rewarded for sharing clinical knowledge AWARD FOR CLINICAL CASES HOW TO PARTICIPATE With the Hans-Heinrich Reckeweg Clinical Case Award, we would like to encourage healthcare practitioners to share their clinical experience. This annual award acknowledges the publication of outstanding clinical information in the form of case report summaries. It recognizes the importance of collecting realworld data and promotes the open-access publication of health information. The award consists of a main (€10,000) and a runner-up (€5,000) prize. The prizes are awarded once a year in Germany. The award was established by Heel. It is a tribute to the founder of the company, Dr. Hans-Heinrich Reckeweg. WHAT IS A CLINICAL CASE REPORT SUMMARY? A clinical case report summary is a short version of a case report. It typically includes all the necessary information in the form of keywords or short sentences. Case summaries may be considered an intermediate step in writing and publishing case reports. They can be quickly disseminated by posting on preprint servers, a resource often used by clinicians to discuss complicated cases and seek advice for patient care. WHY DO CLINICAL CASE REPORTS MATTER? Case reports not only convey new information. They may also generate hypotheses for future clinical studies and are an indispensable teaching tool. As a case report author, you add new knowledge to current medical evidence. Your findings and hypotheses may be examined by other clinicians, resulting in the discovery of novel treatments. In addition, sharing medical knowledge can be a great learning experience and introduce you to academic writing. To participate in the Award, you must complete a 5-step process: 1. Obtain written patient informed consent. 2. Create a case report summary using the CARE-writer™ tool and make sure all patient data is anonymized. 3. Download and complete the CARE checklist. 4. Download and sign the authorship and copyright consent form. 5. Upload and submit the created case report summary, the annotated CARE checklist and the signed authorship and copyright consent form The clinical case summary should be in the fields of human or veterinary medicine. It should present an interesting case involving multicomponent, natural treatments. The deadline for submission of the HansHeinrich Reckeweg Award 2019 is June 30, 2019. You can find all information on case report summaries, submission and conditions of entry on the official award website. https://www.clinicalcasereporting.com/award Please read all information on the website carefully to ensure your case summary will be accepted for participation in the award.

1 2023 Consumer Confidence Report for Public Water System CITY OF RIESEL This is your water quality report for January 1 to December 31, 2023 For more information regarding this report contact: CITY OF RIESEL provides ground water from the Southern Trinity Aquifer located in McLennan County. RANDY EHLERS Name Phone254-896-6501 Este reporte incluye información importante sobre el agua para tomar. Para asistencia en español, favor de llamar al telefono (254) 896-6501. Definitions and Abbreviations Definitions and Abbreviations The following tables contain scientific terms and measures, some of which may require explanation. Action Level: The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow. Avg: Regulatory compliance with some MCLs are based on running annual average of monthly samples. Level 1 Assessment: A Level 1 assessment is a study of the water system to identify potential problems and determine (if possible) why total coliform bacteria have been found in our water system. Level 2 Assessment: A Level 2 assessment is a very detailed study of the water system to identify potential problems and determine (if possible) why an E. coli MCL violation has occurred and/or why total coliform bacteria have been found in our water system on multiple occasions. Maximum Contaminant Level or MCL: The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology. Maximum Contaminant Level Goal or MCLG: The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety. Maximum residual disinfectant level or MRDL: The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants. Maximum residual disinfectant level goal or MRDLG: The level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants. MFL million fibers per liter (a measure of asbestos) mrem: millirems per year (a measure of radiation absorbed by the body) na: not applicable. NTU nephelometric turbidity units (a measure of turbidity) pCi/L picocuries per liter (a measure of radioactivity) of Definitions and Abbreviations ppb: micrograms per liter or parts per billion ppm: milligrams per liter or parts per million ppq parts per quadrillion, or picograms per liter (pg/L) ppt parts per trillion, or nanograms per liter (ng/L) Treatment Technique or TT: A required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water. Information about your Drinking Water The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPAs Safe Drinking Water Hotline at (800) 426-4791. Contaminants that may be present in source water include: - Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife. - Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban storm water runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming. - Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban storm water runoff, and residential uses. - Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban storm water runoff, and septic systems. - Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally-occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. FDA regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health. Contaminants may be found in drinking water that may cause taste, color, or odor problems. These types of problems are not necessarily causes for health concerns. For more information on taste, odor, or color of drinking water, please contact the system's business office. You may be more vulnerable than the general population to certain microbial contaminants, such as Cryptosporidium, in drinking water. Infants, some elderly, or immunocompromised persons such as those undergoing chemotherapy for cancer; persons who have undergone organ transplants; those who are undergoing treatment with steroids; and people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, can be particularly at risk from infections. You should seek advice about drinking water from your physician or health care providers. Additional guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). of If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. We are responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but we cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead. This is an alert about your drinking water and a cosmetic dental problem that might affect children under nine years of age. At low levels, fluoride can help prevent cavities, but children drinking water containing more than 2 milligrams per liter (mg/L) of fluoride may develop cosmetic discoloration of their permanent teeth (dental fluorosis). The drinking water provided by your community water system CITY OF RIESEL WATER has a fluoride concentration of 2.56 mg/L. Dental fluorosis, in its moderate or severe forms, may result in a brown staining and/or pitting of the permanent teeth. This problem occurs only in developing teeth, before they erupt from the gums. Children under nine should be provided with alternative sources of drinking water or water that has been treated to remove the fluoride to avoid the possibility of staining and pitting of their permanent teeth.

Mirie Mwangi PhD Thesis,November, 2014 THE INFLUENCE OF MEMBERS' INCOME AND CONDUCT OF SACCOS IN THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CHARACTERISTICS AND EFFICIENCY OF SACCOS IN KENYA ABSTRACT Efficiency of SACCOs is affected by various characteristics such as size, age, bond of association, adoption of technology and managerial competency. The relationship can be influenced by appropriate moderating and intervening variables. This study therefore sought to establish how members' income and conduct of SACCOs affects the relationship between characteristics and efficiency of SACCOs in Kenya. The specific objectives were to determine the relationship between SACCO characteristics and efficiency; establish the moderating influence of the income of members in the relationship between characteristics and efficiency; and determine the intervening influence of conduct in the relationship between characteristics and efficiency. The study targeted all SACCOs that are regulated by SASRA for the period 2009 - 2013. DEA was used to compute efficiency with inputs being member deposits and borrowings; interest/dividend on member deposits and cost of borrowings; staff costs; and other operating expenses (such as rent payable, communication costs, office consumables). Outputs were loans to members and other earning assets (such as interest yielding bank deposits, treasury bills and bonds; investment in rental property; and shares); interest income; and other income (includes interest from bank deposits, treasury bills and bonds; rent from investment property; dividends from shares; money transfer and withdrawal charges). Multiple regression analysis between efficiency, characteristics and conduct was carried out. The study findings were that characteristics (specifically size and age) have a significant positive effect on efficiency of SACCOs and this relationship (for size only) is moderated by the income of members. Increase in size results in improved efficiency and, the older the SACCO the higher the efficiency. The higher the income of members, the stronger the relationship between size and efficiency. Efficiency was negatively related to strength of bond of association, possibly because weakening of the bond would be associated with increase in size, which contributes to increased efficiency. Adoption of technology had a negative relationship with efficiency, with a probable reason being low levels of computerisation of the SACCOs. Managerial competency was not significantly related to efficiency. This might be due to that SACCOs are not very complex entities and therefore the cost of additional competency may not yield payoffs that are greater than the extra expense. The main academic contribution of the study is the finding that income of members moderates the characteristics-efficiency relationship. This means that the results of empirical investigations of the relationship between size and efficiency are improved if the analysis is carried out separately for entities falling in different member income strata. Stratification would not improve the relationship between efficiency and age, bond of association, managerial competency and adoption of technology. Conduct of SACCO was found not to be a significant intervening variable between characteristics and efficiency. The study recommends policy interventions geared towards nurturing existing SACCOs with a view to increasing their size. This can be through setting a minimum size threshold that would necessitate existing SACCOs to merge and making it difficult for new ones to be established. Members and managers should on their own volition also pursue the increase in size strategy, through recruitment of more members or even merging with other	<urn:uuid:1646f8ff-c35a-4565-817d-1d4526470800>-0	1	5	3	3

Good Intentions Gone Bad? The Dodd Frank Act and Conflict in Africa’s Great Lakes Region Jeffrey R. Bloem Ph.D. Student Department of Applied Economics University of Minnesota October 27, 2018 ‘Conflict minerals’ find their way into a host of popular consumer products - Cell phones, laptops, jewelry, eyeglasses, cars, airplanes, and medical equipment Revenues from the extraction of these minerals fuel conflict across Africa - See Berman et al. (2017) Conflicts are often deadly - Estimates vary between 2 and 6 million people killed due to violent conflict over the last two decades in the region. Violent conflict reverses economic development and efforts to alleviate poverty Section 1502 of the Dodd Frank Act - In 2010, US lawmakers passed legislation with the intentions of reducing conflict in the DRC and surrounding countries - Regulates reporting on supply chain links of tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold (3TG) to armed groups - Any company registered with the US SEC must perform due diligence — and file a report (“Form SD”) - The legislation was, and remains, controversial - US companies claim compliance costs impose an undue burden - Other critics claim the policy is built on faulty assumptions about the causes of conflict Related Literature - Qualitative studies on the effects of the Dodd Frank Act on livelihoods in the DRC - See Greenen (2012); Cuvelier et al. (2014); Radley and Vogel (2015); Vogel and Raeymaekers (2016) - Struggle to quantify the causal relationship - Quantitative studies compare outcomes in geographic areas within the DRC - See Parker et al. (2016); Parker and Vadheim (2017); Stoop et al. (2018) - Important methodological improvement, but still may suffer from endogeneity issues - The presence of spillovers between geographical regions — a potential SUTVA violation - Spillovers are relevant in this context (Maystadt et al. 2014) Empirical Method - Compare the prevalence of conflict: - Over time (monthly) at the second sub-national administrative level - Across countries covered by the Dodd Frank Act and other sub-Saharan African countries - Use a difference-in-differences estimation strategy - Benefits of this approach: - Avoids concerns with spillovers present in within-DRC analysis - Allows impact estimation on the full list of covered countries - Extends the study period through 2016 Results Preview - Find evidence of unintended consequences of the conflict minerals legislation in the DRC - May be more dramatic than previously reported - Roughly a 100 percent increase in the probability of conflict - Compare to between 30 to 50 percent increase of various types of conflict (Stoop et al. 2018) - Find no evidence of any reduction (or increase) in the probability of conflict within all covered countries pooled together - Pooling all countries together estimates the overall effect of the policy, but hides important heterogeneity - The recent suspension of enforcement by the US SEC has had little effect both in the DRC and in all covered countries pooled together (Incomplete) Theory of Change - Theory of change rests on the strength of the link minerals and conflict - Key assumption: Reducing the revenue earned by armed groups from minerals will reduce conflict - In theory, this tightens the budget constraint of armed groups (e.g. Fearon 2004; Collier et al. 2009; Dube and Naidu 2015) - In practice, it is not clear this mechanism dominates - For example, consider the “opportunity cost” mechanism (e.g. Becker 1963; Collier and Hoeffler 1998; Grossman 1991; Dube and Vargas 2013) - A reduction in mineral extraction decreases incomes and the opportunity cost of joining a rebel group - This could increase conflict Background - The Dodd Frank Act was officially passed by the US Congress in July 2010 - Direct consequence: In Sept. 2010 the DRC shut down its entire mineral export industry (re-opened in 2011) - Real effects: In some areas exports of tin dropped by 90 percent (Seay 2012) - In August 2012 the “final rules” of the legislation are agreed upon by the US SEC - In July 2013 a lawsuit is in place arguing that the regulation violates US constitutional rights - Companies required to file first “due diligence” reports in May 2014 - In April 2015 US appeals court decides companies must still file annual reports In April 2017, the US SEC suspended enforcement of the legislation - The Financial CHOICE Act of 2017 would have officially abolished the regulations - Ultimately, dismissed by the US Senate Many companies still complying with the rules - The law can be enforced again quite quickly - Some companies — such as Apple and Intel — have publicly stated they intend to follow the rules even if they are abolished - Responding to a “market expectation” for “conflict free” minerals Data - Armed Conflict Location and Event Data (ACLED) project - Subset includes data from 39 sub-Saharan African countries from 2004 through 2016 - Construct a monthly panel dataset: 156 time periods and 3,764 administrative regions - Outcome variables: - (A) All conflict - (B) Violence against civilians - (C) Rebel group battles - (D) Riots and protests - (E) Deadly conflict Conflict Events in Africa Before July 2010 vs. After July 2010 Conflict Trends by Type A B C D E DRC Covered Countries Non-Covered Countries Estimation Specification (1) - Linear regression model: \[ y_{rct} = \alpha_{rc} + \gamma_t + \beta \cdot 1\{rc = DRC\} \cdot 1\{t \geq July 2010\} + \epsilon_{rct} \] (1) - $ y_{rct} $ type of conflict in administrative area $ r $ in country $ c $ in month $ t $ - $ \alpha_{rc} $ and $ \gamma_t $ are geographic and month fixed effects - $ \beta $ is the coefficient of interest and is the DID estimate of the effect of the Dodd Frank Act - $ \epsilon_{rct} $ is an error term - Implement a variant of Fisher’s permutation test (Fisher 1935) for robustness check on inference Estimation Specification (2) - Linear regression model: \[ y_{rct} = \eta_{rc} + \lambda_t + \delta_t \cdot 1\{rc = DRC\} \cdot 1\{t = 2005, 2006, 2007,..., 2016\} + \xi_{rct} \] - $y_{rct}$ type of conflict in administrative area $r$ in country $c$ in month $t$ - $\eta_{rc}$ and $\lambda_t$ are geographic and month fixed effects - $\delta_t$ is a vector of coefficients and is the year-specific DID estimate of the effect of the Dodd Frank Act - $\xi_{rct}$ is an error term - Tests the assumption that conflict would not have evolved differently in the absence of the Dodd Frank Act ### Core Results #### Effect of the Dodd-Frank Act on Conflict \| \| Conflict, All Types (1) \| Violence Against Civilians (2) \| Rebel Group Battles (3) \| Riots and Protests (4) \| Deadly Conflict (5) \| \|--------------------------\|-------------------------\|-------------------------------\|------------------------\|-----------------------\|---------------------\| \| Panel A: DRC Only \| \| \| \| \| \| \| Effect of Dodd-Frank \| 0.143* \| 0.076* \| 0.063* \| 0.113* \| 0.068* \| \| \| (0.007) \| (0.004) \| (0.002) \| (0.005) \| (0.005) \| \| Observations \| 433,992 \| 433,992 \| 433,992 \| 433,992 \| 433,992 \| \| Baseline DRC mean \| 0.140 \| 0.084 \| 0.082 \| 0.050 \| 0.072 \| \| Geographic and time FEs \| Yes \| Yes \| Yes \| Yes \| Yes \| \| R-squared \| 0.141 \| 0.097 \| 0.084 \| 0.125 \| 0.074 \| \| Panel B: All Covered Countries** \| \| \| \| \| \| \| Effect of Dodd-Frank \| 0.001 \| 0.008 \| -0.001 \| 0.003 \| -0.004 \| \| \| (0.016)	dbad34a6-4a7d-4198-8cc6-b6ee94026f37-0	1	4	3	2

Request for Backdated Housing Benefit and/or Council Tax Support What does backdating mean? If you have made a claim for benefit but would have claimed it sooner if you could have, you may ask us to backdate your claim. This means that we would treat your claim as if we received your claim form on an earlier date. How do I claim backdated benefit? If you need your claim to be backdated, you need to make a written request and show that you had good reason throughout the backdate period for not claiming benefit. This is known as'showing continuous good cause' What is a good reason? Each claim is considered separately so there is no list of circumstances which can be thought of as 'good reasons' Some examples of reasons why you could potentially not have been expected to claim earlier include: - Being in hospital or seriously ill; - The death of a close relative; - Being wrongly advised by an official person such as Council staff, a social worker, The Citizens Advice Bureau or the Department for Work and Pensions; - Being unable to manage your affairs and having no one to help you. - Language difficulties What is not a good reason? Some reasons will not be considered valid reasons unless there are other reasons as well. For example: - Knew that you could claim benefit but had delayed or decided not to; - You did not know you could claim benefit; - Had a claim form but lost it or had a claim form but did not return it straight away. How far back can my claim be backdated? For customers under pensionable age we are able to consider backdating your claim for a period of up to 1 month for Housing Benefit claimants and up to 6 months for Council Tax Support claimants (this is 1 month or 6 months from the date that written request is received). What happens after my claim has been made? After we have received your returned backdate request form and have all the necessary supporting information we will make our decision and advise you whether or not we consider you have valid grounds to have your claim backdated. What should I do if my backdate request is not successful? If you disagree with a backdating decision, you may challenge it. You can also get more information or ask for an explanation of the decision. You can formally challenge our decision by: - Asking us to change the decision - Appealing against our decision by requesting and completing appeal form DMA1. This must be done within one month of receiving your decision letter. If you have any further questions relating to backdated benefit please contact us on 01263 516349 to discuss.

Public school districts across Wisconsin have been increasingly working with local businesses to bring learning and work opportunities to students and gain the support of leaders in their community. Each year, through the WASB Business Honor Roll, the WASB helps school districts recognize those businesses and organizations that provide support to their local schools. This article features some of the unique school-business partnerships included on the 2017 WASB Business Honor Roll. River Valley School District AMERICAN PLAYERS THEATRE The River Valley School District and its students have found inspiration from working with American Players Theatre (APT), an outdoor theater located outside of Spring Green. The partnership encourages and supports students’ interest in the performance arts. Each spring, middle school students stage a student production of a Shakespeare play that is on APT’s schedule. The play is directed and produced by teachers with help from David Daniel, APT’s education director. Actors from APT attend the play put on by middle school students and then the students see the professional production of the same play. Sara Young, communications director for APT and a member of the River Valley School Board, said the interaction between the professional actors and the middle school students is awe-inspiring for the students. “When middle school Juliet met APT Juliet a few years ago, it was really a beautiful moment,” she said. “That happens again and again.” Another program is APT’s education program, “The Potency of Poetry.” This program is led by Daniel at River Valley High School. One River Valley High School teacher noted the program’s popularity, “David Daniel is a rock star among the students at River Valley. When my students hear his voice coming from another classroom, the first question is always, ‘Is he going to work with us?’ David has spent time with my students covering topics as diverse as a day in the life of an Elizabethan, the role linguistic profiling plays in our country, and the power of poetry and metaphor.” Because of the close proximity of the APT, many River Valley teachers bring their students to the matinee performances during the fall. This year, the entire middle school and freshman class will attend “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” junior AP English will attend “Cyrano de Bergerac,” and senior AP English will attend “A View from the Bridge.” These trips are often paired with classroom visits from APT teaching artists who provide a preview of the performance. Students interested in theater also have opportunities to apply for an internship and they regularly job shadow APT artists and staff. For the last three years, APT has invited River Valley High School to stage its annual musical in the Touchstone Theater (APT’s indoor performance space). As part of this partnership, APT also regularly lends costumes and technical supplies to the student productions. Additionally, professional actors have coached students for their roles. A handful of students have even auditioned for and gotten roles in “Being part of the River Valley community is vital to APT’s identity and the school district is such an important part of the community.” — Sara Young, communications director for American Players Theatre seventh production at APT in as many years. “APT treasures its relationship with the River Valley Schools,” Young said. “APT is unique — professional Shakespeare theaters are usually not located in such rural locations. But being part of the River Valley community is vital to APT’s identity and the school district is such an important part of the community. It’s one of the very best perks we can offer actors who usually work in urban centers — a place to call home and raise families.” Baraboo School District CIRCUS WORLD Baraboo School District’s strategic plan challenges the district to develop meaningful partnerships with five local businesses each school year. “We are looking at how do we get to that level of engagement that actually changes lives,” said Superintendent Lori Mueller. Last summer, the district began working with Circus World and, although the partnership is only about a year old, it is already making an impact on students. The partnership got started with a brainstorming session between school district staff and Circus World Director Scott O’Donnell. It quickly became apparent that there were many potential benefits for the district and Circus World to work together. For Circus World, it is an opportunity to introduce local students to their community’s history and inject some fresh ideas and energy into the organization. And for the school district, the partnership gives students opportunities to showcase their skills in a real-world setting. Circus World has been a fixture in the Baraboo community since it opened in 1959. However, since its peak, the organization has seen a reduction in staff and in January it was announced that the Ringling Brothers Circus would be shutting down. Still, Circus World holds performances and hosts the world’s largest collection of circus memorabilia and historical documents. The museum also has the world’s largest collection of restored circus wagons. Last school year, in the first year of the partnership, it connected with students in the district’s elementary, middle and high schools. Circus World brought its array of musical instruments to the district’s elementary students. The district’s middle school students studied local history in the museum’s library, assisted with the circus wagon restoration process, and started a student-run website highlighting Circus World’s attractions. At the high school level, Circus World challenged students from a marketing class to come up with new marketing campaigns for the organization. Students worked together in small groups and then formally pitched their ideas to Circus World staff. O’Donnell was very impressed with the students. “They brought us some amazing ideas,” O’Donnell said. “They came up with ideas that we didn’t even think of.” One student team suggested that Circus World create a virtual reality tour of its museum. Circus World staff took that idea and worked with a local company to produce a 360-degree virtual reality tour. Other Circus World Executive Director Scott O’Donnell speaks to the Baraboo school board. marketing ideas and slogans developed by the high students now appear on billboards around Baraboo. O’Donnell said the marketing work helped Circus World attract more people, especially local students. Mueller and O’Donnell will continue the partnership this school year and hope to eventually add an apprenticeship program. The world’s only professional circus wagon restorer works at Circus World in Baraboo and he is nearing the end of his career. O’Donnell said that position and other highly specific skilled jobs exist at Circus World. “We would love to have our staff work with local Baraboo students,” O’Donnell said. “We want these students to know there’s a unique career path right here in Baraboo.” West Bend School District EN FUEGO FITNESS Two active parents and local business owners are helping students and staff at the West Bend School District lead more healthy and active lives. Addy Fahrenkrug and Sarah Griffin are the owners of En Fuego Fitness. The fitness studio hosts workout events to support local families, provides options for teams and youth to train at a nominal cost in the facility, and hosts a large contingency of teachers. “Between the two, they have eight kids in the district but you would think they mother 7,000!” said school board president Tiffany Larson. “They have a heart for students, fitness, health, and caring for families.” En Fuego Fitness has led free classes during the district’s staff wellness days. The studio’s facility has also been helpful to the district. Because of space availability issues, some teams, like the high school’s dance teams, are often searching for practice space. Fahrenkrug and En Fuego Fitness has led free classes during the district’s staff wellness days … and they’ve been helpful in resolving some space availability issues. Griffin routinely offer them off times for free or deeply discounted rates. They also offer a popular sports conditioning program in the summer attended by area youth athletes. In addition, Larson said, Fahrenkrug and Griffin regularly volunteer in the schools, “You can always count on Addy and Sarah to bring a positive, can-do attitude to any field trip, volunteer event, or school function. They are generous in all ways within our educational community and beyond.” Larson said they are also the kind of advocates that schools need in their communities, “Addy and Sarah encourage their customers to be informed and knowledgeable of our school district and our school board membership.” --- 2017 WASB Business Honor Roll The following businesses have been nominated by their partner school districts to the WASB Business Honor Roll.* For descriptions of each partnership, visit wasb.org.

Mustikasari IA, Withaningsih S, Megantara EN, Husodo T, Parikesit. 2019. Population and distribution of Sunda porcupine (Hystrix javanica F. Cuvier, 1823) at designated area of Cisokan Hydropower, West Java, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 20: 762-769. One of the endemic species of Indonesia is the Sunda porcupine (Hystrix javanica). Sunda porcupine is a big rodent which has unique defense mechanism behavior using its quills. This research was conducted in the designated area of Cisokan Hydropower (PLTA Cisokan), in West Java, Indonesia. The method in this study is qualitative to determine the total population and distribution. Data collection techniques were carried out by sign surveys (burrow, footprints, quills, food sites, and feces), camera traps, and semistructured interviews. The result shows the number of porcupine populations in the designated area of Cisokan Hydropower is 6-29 individuals. Porcupine population is distributed in five regions, namely the first region consisting of Pasir Gagak, Cigintung, Batu Sahulu and Batu Nunggul; the second region is Batu Tumpeng and Batu Wulung; the third region is Curug Japarana; the fourth region consists of Sarongge and Cadas Gantung; and the fifth region is Pongpok. Based on the type of land cover, the porcupine population is commonly found in the types of shrub/huma /ladang, talun, and natural forests. Keywords: Designated area of Cisokan Hydropower, distribution, Hystrix javanica, population INTRODUCTION porcupine increases. Besides porcupine quills are used for decorative and aesthetic elements (Inayah 2016). Indonesia is known to be rich in native Indonesian fauna and to be the second country with the highest endemic species (Whitten et al. 2004; Mittermeier et al. 2005). One of the endemic species of Indonesia is the Sunda porcupine (Hystrix javanica) which can be found in Java, Bali, Sumbawa, Flores, Lombok, Madura, and Tonahdjampea (Van Weers 1979, 1983). Sunda porcupine is one of the unique mammals whose half part of the body is covered with quills used as self-defense. Sunda porcupine's body is covered by a thousand quills with variations in size, shape, and color. The quills can be differentiated into 4 types: quills, true quills, transitional quills, and rattle quills (Barthelmess 2006). Sunda porcupine has blackish to dark brown body color. Long quills are commonly white with black lines and short quills are generally black to dark brown (Payne et al. 1985). Porcupine is protected by Environmental and Forestry Minister Regulation No P.20 of 2018. Based on the IUCN red list, Sunda porcupine belongs to the category of Least Concern or is not particularly concerned about its status. Despite their protected status, the hunt and trade of these animals continue to occur. Local people consider it as traditional medicine that can eliminate various diseases such as asthma and its meat is nutritious and is considered healthier than beef. In recent year, the utilization of Considering to high value of porcupine, market demand of porcupine definitely increases. In South Africa, the highest part of porcupine body trade is on quill. They exported porcupine quill overseas (Chevallier and Ashton 2006). In Malaysia, porcupine meat was popular as an alternative meat product in the domestic market. Half of Malaysian Urban Consumers acknowledged that porcupine meat can be eaten (halal) and has high nutritional values (Norsuhana et al. 2012). In Singapore, bezoars of porcupine are the most popular and it can be one of the main causes of overhunting (Chung et al. 2016). As market demand on porcupine meat and its savor increases, hunting, and trade of them will continue to increase too. The high level of hunting and trade of these animals can be the largest factor of population decline (Miller-Gulland and Bennett 2003; Borschberg 2006). In addition, habitat loss, fragmentation, and land use modification also can contribute to decrease in porcupine numbers (Corlett 1992; Brook et al. 2003). Some efforts need to be done are to increase the porcupine livestock for fulfilling the demand of porcupine trade market (Inayah 2016). Considering the high value of porcupine, not only to increase the porcupine livestock, but the efforts to keep their increasing numbers in wildlife and improve the captive breeding are also necessary to be done. The reason is that the meat from wildlife porcupine is cheaper than that from livestock porcupine (Brook et al. 2010). MATERIALS AND METHODS Research about Sunda porcupine (Hystrix javanica) is still small in number. As endemic species of Java, its existence will continue to decrease with increasing human density in Java. The high density of human resulted in the deforestation of forest which is the natural habitat of Sunda porcupine. Now, only 1.1 million hectares of forest remain on Java (Prasetyo et al. 2009). One of the known locations of Sunda porcupine habitat is designated area of Cisokan Hydropower (PLTA Cisokan) which is located in border area between West Bandung and Cianjur districts, West Java Province, Indonesia. This location provides various types of ecosystems, such as natural forests, riparians, shrubs, production forests, taluns, gardens and huma or paddy fields. Therefore, research on the population of Sunda porcupine species in the designated area of Cisokan Hydropower is needed and it is expected that this place can be considered as the conservation location of Sunda porcupine. This research was conducted in the designated area of Cisokan Hydropower, West Java, Indonesia in February to April 2017. The method in this study is qualitative to determine the total population and distribution. Data collection techniques were carried out by sign surveys with explorations (burrow, footprints, quills, food sites, and feces), camera traps, and semi-structured interviews. Data collection of sign surveys includes footprints, quills, feeding sites, and burrows. The signs were measured, captured, and tagged using GPS. The burrow was identified based on signs such as footprints, quills, and feeding sites. This shows that the burrow is still used by porcupines. Camera traps are installed at some point that is considered potential. The camera traps are 17 units and installed in 20 different locations. Camera trap installation is performed alternately to represent all locations. Total install time at each location is different with the shortest time span of 11 days and the longest time span of 35 days. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to collect data on the characteristics, presence, distribution, and disturbance of porcupine. Estimated number of individuals is based on the results of camera trap recording and signs such as active burrow, scratches, quills and the measurements of footprints which are quite clearly visible. Estimation of the number of individuals is done with the assumption that the sign and camera trap recording results are still within the range area of a porcupine, it means that the sign are considered from the same individual, as it is known that porcupines have a range of 5-30 ha (PLN 2014). Camera trap data results are identified based on meeting time, morphology, location and direction of movement. Determination of the number of individual	2fe7b6ef-76d9-4dba-aba4-ed7b3f071243-0	1	3	3	2
existence. Porcupine hunting was still only a few, although it still happens. Most of porcupine hunters come from the outside village. They used a dog as a hunter, and they follow it till they got the porcupine. Another way to hunt porcupine is by trapping porcupine with rope net or blowing smoke into the entrance/exit area of burrow and waiting for it to come out from another entrance/exit hole and it can be caught easily. Local people use porcupine quills for esthetic and some believe that porcupine quills can evade an attack of black magic. They use the quill as a hairpin for a pregnant woman. Some people eat porcupine meat which is tasty and easy to cook. Although they use porcupine for their own need, if it happens continuously, the hunt for porcupine will increase too. Someday it will be a big problem for the existence of porcupine. High demand of porcupine in international trading will urge the hunter to hunt the porcupine in nature or to develop captive breeding. The high level of hunting and trade of these animals can be the largest factor of population decline (Miller-Gulland and Bennett 2003; Borschberg 2006). Building the road and facilities will increase habitat loss, fragmentation and land used modification in designated area. Landslides that happened are caused by activity of building road and facilities. This species has poor self-defense on habitat damage. Even though this species seem to be adaptable (Payne et al. 1985), but if there is no preventive action to do, it won't survive in this area. The preventive way that can be done is making hole tunnel as manipulative burrow, or build ecological corridors, such as the Eco-Link which may help to restore the fragmented landscape by connecting the patches in forest (Chung et al. 2014). In conclusion, based on the results of the sign survey and camera trap, the number of porcupine populations in the designated area of Cisokan Hydropower is 6-29 individuals. This porcupine population is distributed in five regions, namely the first region consisting of Pasir Gagak, Cigintung, and Batu Nunggul; the second region including Batu Tumpeng; the third region consisting of Curug Japarana; the fourth region consisting of Sarongge and Cadas Gantung; and the fifth region including Pongpok. If based on the type of land cover, the porcupine population is commonly found in the types of shrub/huma /ladang, talun, and natural forests. Predator of porcupine that found in this study area is Javan leopard. The competitor of space use by porcupine is pangolin. Generally, the potential threat to porcupine existence is the condition of several study sites that have experienced landslides. In some cases, the continuous hunt for porcupines can increase the possibility of population number decrease.

ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS (Please refer to the appropriate section on Attachment 1 for the additional considerations listed below.) DETERMINATION TABLE (CONTINUED) ZONE A This document provides the Federal Emergency Management Agency's determination regarding a request for a Letter of Map Amendment for the property described above. Using the information submitted and the effective National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) map, we have determined that the property(ies) is/are not located in the SFHA, an area inundated by the flood having a 1-percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year (base flood). This document amends the effective NFIP map to remove the subject property from the SFHA located on the effective NFIP map; therefore, the Federal mandatory flood insurance requirement does not apply. However, the lender has the option to continue the flood insurance requirement to protect its financial risk on the loan. A Preferred Risk Policy (PRP) is available for buildings located outside the SFHA. Information about the PRP and how one can apply is enclosed. This determination is based on the flood data presently available. The enclosed documents provide additional information regarding this determination. If you have any questions about this document, please contact the FEMA Map Assistance Center toll free at (877) 336-2627 (877-FEMA MAP) or by letter addressed to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, LOMC Clearinghouse, 847 South Pickett Street, Alexandria, VA 22304-4605.

The National Flood Insurance Program map affecting this property depicts a Special Flood Hazard Area that was determined using the best flood hazard data available to FEMA, but without performing a detailed engineering analysis. The flood elevation used to make this determination is based on approximate methods and has not been formalized through the standard process for establishing base flood elevations published in the Flood Insurance Study. This flood elevation is subject to change. This attachment provides additional information regarding this request.

What qualifies as child-resistant packaging? - Packages that have been certified as child-resistant, in accordance with the federal Poison Prevention Packaging Act (PPPA, 16 CFR §1700.1) - A bottle sealed with a pry-off metal crown bottle cap - Plastic packaging that is at least 4 mils. thick and heat-sealed without an easy-open tab, dimple, corner or flap Types of CRP: - Single Use (“Initial CRP”) – the package is initially child-resistant, but once opened, it is no longer child-resistant. If used, the package’s label must say “This package is not child-resistant after opening.” - Multiple Use (“Lifetime CRP”) – the package maintains its child-resistance throughout the life of the package. It can be opened and closed, but still remains child-resistant. WHAT REQUIRES INITIAL CRP? - Flower and flower-only pre-rolls - Inhaled concentrates (infused pre-rolls, vape cartridges, shatter, wax, etc.) - Topicals - Single-serving cannabis products WHAT REQUIRES LIFETIME CRP? - Edibles - Orally-consumed concentrates (tinctures, capsules, etc.) - Suppositories NOTE: A package containing multiple servings is not required to be in lifetime CRP if each individual serving is in child-resistant packaging. Taxes Role of the Distributor in Tax Collection Marijuana Distributor collects cultivation tax from cultivator and passes it to the manufacturer. - 9.25 per dry ounce of flower - 2.75 per dry ounce of trim Marijuana Manufacturer is responsible for passing the tax to the distributor that takes the cannabis product to retail (or to another manufacturer).

Smith A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE in Ecology Approved: Karen H. Beard Major Professor David N. Koons Committee Member Aaron B. Shiels Committee Member Mark R. McLellan Vice President for Research and Dean of the School of Graduate Studies UTAH STATE UNIVERSITY Logan, Utah 2016 Copyright © Robyn L. Smith 2016 All Rights Reserved Invasive Coqui Frogs Serve as Novel Prey for Birds in Hawaii, and Not as Competitors by Robyn L. Smith, Master of Science Utah State University, 2016 Major Professor: Karen H. Beard Department: Wildland Resources The Puerto Rican coqui frog (Eleutherodactylus coqui) has been hypothesized to affect bird communities in Hawaii by 1) competing with insectivorous birds for prey, 2) providing prey for predatory birds, and 3) bolstering populations of non-native mammals by serving as prey. No previous studies have collected empirical data on these potential impacts. We investigated the impact of coquis on birds at two scales. For our first research question, we used stable isotope analyses to address whether three species of insectivorous bird, one native and two non-native, and coquis could compete for invertebrate prey. We found that the coquis overlapped in isotopic niche space with all three bird species, which suggests these species occupy a similar place in the food web. However, our Bayesian diet analysis suggests that coquis mostly feed on Acari, Amphipoda, and Blattodea (>90%), and only consume about 2% Araneae, the only diet source they share with birds. This result suggests that coquis do not heavily compete with these bird species for prey. For our second research question, we conducted avian point counts in coqui and non-coqui plots across 15 sites on the island of Hawaii. We modeled whether coqui presence or density explained patterns of insectivorous, vertebrate-preying, and native bird abundance. We estimated abundances of birds in coqui and non-coqui plots using hierarchical Bayesian N-mixture models with random effects. We tested whether habitat variables differed across coqui and non-coqui plots and whether coqui density was correlated with any habitat variable to more confidently attribute changes in bird abundance across coqui and non-coqui plots to the frogs. We found that coquis were associated with greater abundances of vertebrate-preying, generalist insectivorous, and non-native birds in Hawaii. Vertebrate-preying birds showed the strongest association, with a 0.97 probability of abundance being at least 50% higher in coqui plots. Native birds did not show differences in abundance across coqui and non-coqui plots. Because insectivorous bird and native bird abundance did not differ across coqui invasion fronts, our results suggest that coquis primarily affect Hawaiian birds by serving as a food resource for predatory birds, and not as competitors for invertebrate prey. The Puerto Rican coqui frog was introduced to the Hawaiian Islands in the late 1980s. Because of the frog’s loud call and high abundance, the State of Hawaii has spent millions of dollars on its eradication. Conservationists are also concerned that the frog could negatively impact Hawaii’s endemic birds, which are already threatened by a host of other invasive species, either by competing with them for insects or by increasing bird predators. The purpose of this research was to investigate the impacts of coquis on Hawaiian birds. First, we examined overlap in prey resources between coquis and birds, and second, we investigated whether coquis change bird abundance across Hawaii Island. We used naturally occurring stable isotopes to quantify the position of coquis and birds in the food chain. We found that coquis and insectivorous birds do occupy a similar position in the food web. However, using more detailed analyses of their diets, we found that the birds and coquis did not share many prey resources. Coquis mostly feed on insects on the forest floor, while insectivorous birds feed on insects in the forest canopy. This suggests that coquis and birds do not strongly compete. We measured bird populations in coqui and non-coqui areas across 15 sites on the island of Hawaii. We found that bird abundances were never lower in coqui areas, suggesting that coquis do not negatively impact birds in Hawaii. We found that coquis co-exist with four native species. Non-native predatory birds increased in coqui areas, suggesting that the primary way coquis affect birds is by serving as a food resource.

CALL TO ORDER Chairman Gene Ebersohl called the Streets, Sidewalks, Drainage and Public Utilities Committee Meeting of the City Council of the City of Columbia, Illinois to order at 7:02 p.m. Upon Roll Call, the following members were: Present: Chairman Ebersohl and Aldermen Niemietz, Row and Roessler. Absent: None. Quorum Present. Others Present: Mayor Hutchinson and Aldermen Agne, Hejna, Oberkfell and Stumpf. Administrative Staff Present: City Administrator Al Hudzik, City Engineer Ron Williams, Deputy Chief of Police Jerry Paul, Fire Chief Mike Roediger, Accounting Manager Linda Sharp and Accounting/Clerical Assistant Sandy Garmer. Guests Present: None. Chairman Ebersohl stated the purpose of the meeting was to discuss issues pertaining to Breidecker Street and any other items to be considered or discussed. II. BREIDECKER STREET DISCUSSION Chairman Ebersohl referred to the petition distributed at the August 9th City Council meeting with approximately seventy-five (75) signatures in favor of keeping Breidecker Street a through street from Cherry Street to Centerville Road. He again stated he would like to keep Breidecker Street open as an alternate entrance to the Pioneer Ridge subdivision, as well as for safety concerns he has – to allow an alternate route for emergency vehicle access – he indicated that Fire Chief Mike Roediger, Chief of Police Joseph Edwards and Chief of the EMS Division Ken Buss are in agreement with his safety concerns. Alderman Row said his understanding was that Breidecker was opened as a temporary through street until the Old Town Project/Cherry Street construction was completed and feels it should no longer remain a through street. A general discussion was then held among the Committee/Council Members, members of the City staff, and various residents from the Breidecker Street and Pioneer Ridge subdivision areas of the City – items discussed included: - Breidecker Street is a substandard road due to its width – it is constrained by the City’s current right-of-way width of 33 ft., which doesn’t easily allow two (2) cars traveling in opposite directions to pass each other; - due to its width constraints, Breidecker Street does not meet the requirements of the City’s subdivision code – even though there are other substandard streets in Columbia that do not meet the subdivision code requirements, several Committee/Council Members were opposed to the City resurfacing Breidecker and leaving it as a through street in substandard condition; - leaving Breidecker open as a through street and trying to get the necessary right-of-way easements from the property owners to allow proper road construction in compliance with current City standards; - the intersection of Cherry Street and S. Main is a hazardous intersection – the intersection of S. Main with Centerville Road appears to be a safer intersection; - extending Longview to Centerville Road to allow an alternate access for the Pioneer Ridge subdivision residents and to help address safety concerns; - leaving Breidecker open as a through street for a certain period of time while other ingress/egress options are explored; - opinions given by Breidecker Street and Pioneer Ridge subdivision area residents both in favor of and against leaving Breidecker open as a through street; - resident Dennis Kish giving a brief history of the development of the Pioneer Ridge subdivision and indicating he offered to give the City a seven (7) foot easement in 1992, and discussing various concept plans he had presented to the City in the 1990s, which included the extension of Longview; and - that a meeting(s) should be held between Dennis Kish and various city officials, including staff, to explore various options to resolve the alternate ingress/egress and safety concern issues. MOTION: It was moved by Alderman Niemietz and seconded by Alderman Roessler to recommend to the City Council that Breidecker Street remain open temporarily and that in six (6) months the progress of the City in exploring alternatives to providing additional ingress/egress to the Pioneer Ridge subdivision be reviewed. Chairman Ebersohl and Aldermen Niemietz and Roessler voted yea. Alderman Row voted nay. MOTION CARRIED. A straw poll of the other Aldermen: Agne and Stumpf voted yea and Hejna and Oberkfell abstained. III. OTHER ITEMS TO BE CONSIDERED OR DISCUSSED None. IV. ADJOURNMENT MOTION: It was moved by Alderman Niemietz and seconded by Alderman Roessler to adjourn the Streets, Sidewalks, Drainage and Public Utilities Committee Meeting of the City Council of the City of Columbia, Illinois held Monday, August 9, 2010 at 8:02 p.m. Upon Roll Call vote, Chairman Ebersohl and Aldermen Niemietz, Row and Roessler voted yea. MOTION CARRIED. GENE EBERSOHL, Chairman STREETS, SIDEWALKS, DRAINAGE AND PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMITTEE Minutes taken by: SANDRA GARMER, Accounting/Clerical Assistant I. CALL TO ORDER Chairman Roessler called the Finance, Claims, Bonds and Interest Committee Meeting of the City Council of the City of Columbia, Illinois to order at 8:05 p.m. Upon Roll Call, the following members were: Present: Chairman Roessler and Aldermen Ebersohl, Hejna and Stumpf. Absent: None. Quorum Present. Others Present: Mayor Hutchinson and Aldermen Agne, Niemietz, Row and Oberkfell. Administrative Staff Present: City Administrator Al Hudzik, City Engineer Ron Williams, Accounting Manager Linda Sharp and Accounting/Clerical Assistant Sandy Garmer. Guests Present: None. Chairman Roessler stated the meeting was called to discuss finance/budgetary issues and any other items to be considered. II. FINANCE/BUDGETARY ISSUES DISCUSSION Chairman Roessler made opening remarks and called upon Accounting Manager Linda Sharp to address the Committee. Ms. Sharp reviewed the items previously distributed to the Committee/Council Members consisting of a Memo pertaining to some of the City’s past General Obligation Bond issues, including its most recent issue (in the amount of $375,000 and dated August 1, 2004), as well as general information on general obligation bond issues, and the Memo’s attachments: (A) Amortization of the 2004 General Obligation Improvement Bonds (which issue will be paid in full in December of this year); (B) Monroe County Clerk’s Tax Levy Rates (2005 – 2010); (C) the City’s Capital Equipment and Capital Projects for the Fiscal Year Ended 4-30-11; and (D) the Disbursements appearing in the City’s Capital Development Budget for the fiscal Year Ended 4-30-11. City Administrator Hudzik reviewed the current bond issue’s amortization and rate schedule and the effect said issue has had on the real estate tax rates of the City’s property owners during the term of the bond issue – he also touched upon several items pertaining to general obligation bond issues and indicated if the City Council would like to explore issuing bonds to replace those that are maturing, that Accounting Manager Sharp and he would like to contact bond counsel to discuss various topics pertaining to the bonds. Ms. Sharp informed the counsel that she has been in touch with bond attorney Kurt Froehlich, who was recommended by City Attorney Terry Bruckert, to inquire about his estimated fee on a bond issue in the $400,000 range – he indicated it should be less than $3,500. During the presentations made by Ms. Sharp and Mr. Hudzik, a general discussion was held wherein the Committee/Council Members were given the opportunity to ask questions and make comments, which included: (i) whether the City needed to advertise for bond counsel (and the fees to be charged); (ii) the possible uses of the bond proceeds; (iii) concern being	<urn:uuid:7e06c48b-aad5-4acb-9438-6e23db101736>-0	1	2	2	3
Producing food in a pandemic Farmers show we’re all in this together While there’s a long road ahead in the health crisis we’re facing nationally and globally with COVID-19, I can’t help but be uplifted when I hear the stories of how farmers and ranchers and local Farm Bureaus are answering the call to community and country. For some that could mean doing all you can to hold on till we get to the other side of this crisis. It also means all of us sharing stories of how we are still farming to put our fellow Americans’ minds at ease about the security of our food supply. And for others, it may mean adjusting the way you do business for a time, to meet the needs of today. For Chad Butters, founder of Eight Oaks Distillery in Pennsylvania, answering the call meant changing over his distillery to produce hand sanitizer when he heard about the shortage in his community and across the country. At Holesinsky Winery in Idaho, they can barely keep up with demand for the hand sanitizer they’re producing. See DUVALL, page 6 Groups come together to support farmers during shutdown These are very trying times for everyone, especially the nation’s farmers and ranchers. The men and women who produce the safest, most abundant and affordable food supply in the history of the world are facing many challenges right now, just like everyone else is. As soon as our nation was shut down, the American Farm Bureau Federation, Idaho Farm Bureau Federation, the ag and food industries and government entities quickly came together to communicate and work to address the many challenges that the coronavirus outbreak has caused agriculture. One of the challenges was that the initial panic caused by the coronavirus outbreak resulted in a disruption in getting some food items on store shelves. But that was caused by supply chain disruptions and at no time did this nation ever get close to having a food shortage. It’s important that consumers understand that and AFBF, IFBF and other farm organizations have worked hard to ensure they do. An example of working to calm the fears of consumers is an AFBF social media campaign. See SEARLE, page 7 What have we learned in 2,075 years? Marcus Tullius Cicero was a great Roman orator, statesman and philosopher who believed very strongly in a republican form of government being responsive to the people. He was a great Roman constitutionalist who commanded the support and confidence of the people. After Julius Caesar destroyed the republic and became a dictator, he tried to recruit Cicero into his inner circle of influence. Due to Cicero’s love for the republic, Cicero declined. Cicero’s popularity was such that when Brutus did his infamous deed and stabbed Julius Caesar, he raised his voice calling upon Cicero to restore the republic. Mark Antony became the next Roman emperor and he did not deliver upon his promise to restore the republic. Antony was challenged by the great orations of Cicero and eventually, Antony ordered Cicero’s execution. Cicero was beheaded and his hands were amputated and nailed to the walls of Rome to warn other opposition writers of similar fates. See KELLER, page 6 Despite uncertainty, Idaho farmers are plowing ahead It should probably come as no surprise that most of this May Quarterly magazine is filled with stories or columns about how agriculture is being affected by and dealing with the coronavirus outbreak. COVID-19 has pretty much dominated the news cycle and is at the forefront of people’s minds as we as a nation and state work through this unfortunate crisis that has caused an unprecedented upheaval in how we live and interact with each other. Reaction to the coronavirus has affected every segment of society, including agriculture. We feel it is important that people understand some of the impact the virus is having on the state’s important agricultural industry, which is responsible directly and indirectly for one in every eight jobs in Idaho and 13 percent of the state’s total gross domestic product. As you read through the stories and columns in this magazine, it will become apparent that farmers and ranchers are forging ahead with their normal food production plans, even though many farm commodity prices have declined significantly and producers face an uncertain financial future. At the same time, farmers and ranchers, food processors and other agriculture-related businesses are being socially responsible and trying their best to protect their employees and help prevent the virus from spreading. Keep in mind that there was about a two-and-a-half week lag between the time the contents of this magazine were sent to the printer and it arrived in your mailbox. Response to the coronavirus outbreak, and its impact, is fluid and the situation is changing rapidly. Hopefully, things will begin to return to normal or at least semi-normal by the time you are reading this. If that is the case, then some of the stories may seem a little outdated and some of the issues that farmers and ranchers faced because of the coronavirus outbreak may or may not still be relevant. However, we thought it was important to document how the virus outbreak affected agriculture and how farmers and ranchers responded to it. It’s become apparent after speaking with a lot of farmers, ranchers and leaders of farm organizations that represent producers that although Idaho’s nearly 25,000 farms and ranches have been seriously challenged by this unprecedented situation, they are plowing ahead nonetheless. Frankly, those of us who work at Idaho Farm Bureau Federation, the state’s largest general farm organization, expected nothing less. One of the main messages that IFBF, American Farm Bureau Federation and other farm organizations have continued to deliver is that there will be no food shortage in this nation. Sean Ellis Idaho Farm Bureau publications editor POCATELLO – The coronavirus outbreak has not slowed Idaho farmers’ plans to produce food this year. “Agriculture is moving forward and nothing’s changed,” said Idaho Barley Commission Executive Director Laura Wilder. “It’s business as usual.” Roger Batt, who represents several Idaho farm organizations, said he’s hearing the same message: “Basically, it’s business as usual. Farmers are out planting or getting the groundwork ready and preparing for this production season.” That’s good news for two reasons: People need to eat and, according to a University of Idaho study, agriculture is responsible for one of every eight jobs in the state as well as 18 percent of Idaho’s total economic output. So, while the impact that the COVID-19 outbreak has on the state’s economy is expected to be severe, agriculture will act as a type of stabilizing force on the Idaho economy. While many businesses and services have ground to a halt or decreased significantly during the virus outbreak, agriculture is plowing ahead. Cows still need to be fed and milked and a farmer will spend roughly the same amount each year on inputs – labor, seed, fertilizer, etc. – regardless of how much they get for their commodity. Idaho leads the nation or ranks in the top three in 11 agricultural commodities and ranks in the top 10 in 25 farm commodities. Those rankings shouldn’t change much this year, based on a USDA report released March 31 that offers the year’s first glimpse of farmers’ planting intentions for certain crops. According to the report by USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service, Idaho farmers plan to plant more wheat, hay corn and dry beans this year than they did in 2019. Idaho farmers’ potato planting intentions won’t be known until late June. The NASS survey, which was conducted during the first two weeks of March, included about 80,000 farm operators across the nation. According to the NASS report, Idaho farmers expect to plant 1.21 million acres of wheat this year, a 1 percent increase over 2019. Nationwide, wheat acres are expected to total 44.7 million acres, down 1 percent from 2019 and the lowest level since records began in 1919. U.S. wheat acres have been declining for the past two decades. However, U.S. farmers are expected to plant 97 million acres of corn in 2020, 8 percent more than they planted in 2019. Idaho farmers expect to plant 400,000 acres of corn this year, up 4 percent compared with last year. U.S. soybean acres are expected to total 83.5 million acres, up 10 percent. Idaho farmers do not grow soybeans except for a few field trials. Idaho’s expected increase in wheat acres “reflects the fact that Idaho has a very stable wheat industry,” said Idaho Wheat Commission Executive Director Blaine Jacobson. He said Idaho wheat acres might actually rise more than the 1 percent increase estimated by the NASS survey. The recent run on many grocery items included a lot of wheat-based foods such as pastas and flour, Jacobson said. “There is going to be a replenishment of those items that is going to occur,” he said. “Winter wheat is already in the ground but I actually think spring wheat acres will come in higher than the report says just because of the changes that have happened since NASS did its survey.” In an April 1 Market Intel report, American Farm Bureau Federation Economist Shelby Myers wrote, “Wheat expectations remain lackluster; however, recent surges in demand for wheat products could lead to last-minute shifts in planting decisions over the next few weeks.” According to NASS, Idaho barley	da7554f4-e1c8-4f7b-b623-717d8f12cd2a-0	2	3	2	3
Randolph, so ranchers would have a reliable water source for their cattle. “We laid 50,000 feet of 3-inch main line pipe and grouped 20 tire troughs together, in sets of three, with a float controlling them, so they fill level,” he said. On some jobs, he has installed as many as six level troughs on one float in one location, so the float controls storage of 9,600 gallons of water. His wife, Meshia, does the bookkeeping. “People tell me they like Jed’s work because he knows how a cow thinks and can recommend the best place to put the troughs or ponds and how to configure the pipes,” Meshia said. “Plus, he has a reputation for doing a quick and quality job.” He uses high density polyethylene pipe that can be fused together at joints with a McElroy welder. “That joint is amazingly strong,” he said. “You can beat on it, and it won’t break.” The circular troughs he installs are durable, too, because they are made from tires that were used on massive gold mining equipment in Nevada but can no longer be used due to wear. The tires are about 12 feet tall and 5 feet thick. “We get them and cut them in half, so they’re about 27 inches tall,” he said. “They’re great because unlike metal troughs they won’t rust, dent, or spring a leak. When we put them in, we laser level the ground, so water is level in the trough.” Due to his work volume, Heaton buys semi-truck loads of pipe and other supplies to last the season. If ranchers want to install their own systems, he gives advice and sells them what they need. “These systems will last for a long time with little maintenance,” he said. POCATELLO – The coronavirus outbreak has had a major negative impact on farm commodity prices. The futures markets – futures prices are the markets’ expectations of what a commodity’s value will be at a specific future point – for some major agricultural commodities have taken a beating recently. “Some commodities have seen their prices tank just because of all the uncertainty right now,” said University of Idaho Agricultural Economist Ben Eborn. “Things are super volatile right now. Everyone is trying to figure out what’s going to happen.” According to a recent Market Snapshot by Northwest Farm Credit Services, during the first quarter of 2020, “agricultural industries … navigated volatile economic conditions caused largely by the coronavirus pandemic.” Dairy is Idaho’s top farm commodity in terms of farm cash receipts – the Potatoes are harvested in a southeast Idaho field in 2019. Farm-level prices for many agricultural commodities, including potatoes, have been negatively impacted by the coronavirus outbreak. revenue a farmer or livestock producer receives for their product – and it has been one of the hardest-hit commodities. Most of Idaho’s milk is Class III milk, which is used to produce cheese, and May futures prices for Class III milk have fallen to about $12.50 per hundredweight (cwt), which is almost $5 per cwt less than it was before the coronavirus outbreak hit the U.S. “We’re facing milk prices that could be equivalent to what we saw in 2009,” said Idaho Dairymen’s Association Executive Director Rick Naerebout. The U.S. and Idaho dairy industry were slammed hard in 2009 by depressed milk prices that reached as low as the $10 per cwt range. If things don’t turn around soon and milk prices do sink near 2009 levels, “You’re going to see cows go to beef,” Naerebout said. “Things are so severe that if we do see those types of prices, the response is going to be increased culling rates.” “Commodity futures markets were roiled by the near zeroing out of demand that came with school, restaurant and bar closures, reduced demand for gasoline and ethanol, and projections for negative economic growth across the entire U.S. economy,” AFBF Economist John Newton wrote in an April 7 Market Intel report. As an example, he pointed out that the May futures price for corn has fallen 15 percent since Jan. 14 and June live cattle futures prices have decreased by more than 30 percent. “It’s been pretty volatile,” said Idaho Cattle Association Executive Vice President Cameron Mulroney. “It’s going to impact the (cattle) industry. Exactly to what extent we won’t know until this is over.” Beef cattle is Idaho’s No. 2 farm commodity in terms of farm cash receipts. The fallout from the coronavirus response has begun to drag down what were until very recently good potato prices. Surging demand for fresh potatoes at the retail level has not been enough to offset a screeching halt to demand for potatoes and potato products at restaurants and other foodservice channels. Potatoes are Idaho’s No. 3 farm commodity and the state’s top crop in terms of cash receipts. The drop-off in demand for potato products through foodservice channels has Idaho Potato Commission employees basically working around the clock to try to address the issue, said IPC President and CEO Frank Muir. That includes working with shippers, retailers and foodservice customers to redirect a large amount of potatoes from foodservice to retail, Muir said. That effort has included getting grocery stores to include larger displays of potatoes and also offer larger sized bags of potatoes. Potatoes are typically bought in grocery stores in 5- to-10-pound bags but the IPC launched a bin promotion program to encourage retailers to bring in 1,000-pound bins offering jumbo sized potatoes in 10-, 15- and 20-pound bags. That has helped move some of the jumbo sized potatoes that would normally be sold in restaurants and through other foodservice channels. The IPC is also sending out a weekly industry situation update that provides a snapshot of what is happening in the industry and what the potato commission is doing to try to help. The commission is also using online ads targeted toward foodservice customers to direct them to the IPC website where they can find creative menu ideas that could benefit restaurants that are limited to only drive-through and curbside pickup options right now. “We’re doing our best to help mitigate the problems caused by this constant change of what’s being demanded,” Muir said. “We are basically all guns blazing to try to address this problem.” Sign your vehicles up for the Idaho Farm Bureau Jiffy Lube Signature Service Oil Change $10 Discount* program.

Introducing THE SHOW with Elliot Baker It’s like the ancient prophet said. You are the show. If you don’t make the gig, the gig is fucking nowhere. SHOW MOVE - Off the leash: whenever you’re about to do something you don’t always do, turn to the person who holds your leash. Ask them: - Do I think you’d be cool with this? If you do think they’d be cool with it, then no problem. If you don’t think they would, you can do it anyway if you want, but first roll +h. On a 10+, cool, carry on. On a 7–9, they can choose to erase one of your stat highlights, as though they’d hit you with seduce or manipulate and broken the stick. On a miss, they don’t hold your leash anymore. Choose someone else to hold it (whether they want to or not). OTHER MOVES YOUR RIG For your rig, choose 3. - You have a vehicle (you detail). - You have a gigantic armored war-vehicle (you detail). - You can strip your rig down to a version that you can carry as a backpack (valuable hitchh). - When you play, your instrument shoots fire (2-harm messy loud). - When you play, your instrument drips blood. - When you play, water freezes, and your skin and instrument frost over. - When you play, you fill the air from horizon to horizon, and people miles away feel the earth rumble. - When you play, the ancient death satellites that still orbit the earth stir in their sleep. - When you play, it gives people sensitive to the world’s psychic maelstrom nosebleeds. - You have a small but well-rewarded security force: Ba, Rothschild, Jeanette, and a couple others (small gang 3-harm 1-armor). - You have musicians who play with you. Circle some or all of: Dustwich, Harridan, Jesus Christ, Lits, Rolfball, Ambeke, Si-x many faceless backups. - When you play, fucking dead souls stop their groaning to listen. - You have a wide assortment of instruments and can play them all. - There’s basically always some number of people around who want eagerly to have sex with you. Whenever you feel like it, ask the MC who they are this time. When you perform, you can, if you try, crack open the world. Roll+weird. On a 10+, choose 1. On a 7–9, choose 1, but you suffer 1-harm ap loud. On a miss, choose 1, but you and everyone within reach of you suffers 1-harm ap loud. - You make the noise that the ancient bronze armies made, beating their spears on their shields. In battle, you can give someone making a seize & hold move +1 choice. - You make the noise that reverberates inside a vulture’s skull when it scrapes its beak on carrion bone. Tell the MC that all the NPCs who hear it now form a hunting pack, and ask what they do. - You make the noise in the heart of doomed soldiers when they realize that they have lost everything they loved. In battle, tell the MC that your enemies panic, and ask what happens. - You make the noise that the alien brains made when they pushed the button that ended humanity. You can use your audience for augury. - You make the noise that your lover’s breath and blood makes when they’re turned on. Tell the MC that this place becomes shifting ground. Ask what happens. - You make the noise that the last whale heard when it sang and no one answered. Tell the MC that this place becomes a prison (impulse: to contain, to deny egress), a furnace (impulse: to consume things), or a mirage (impulse: to entice and betray people), your choice. Ask what happens. - You make the noise that the dinosaurs heard when they looked up and saw the fireball. Tell the MC that all the NPCs who hear it now form a cult, and ask what they do. - You make the noise that your soul made when the worst happened, and you learned that you were still alive, and were not alone. Tell the MC that all the NPCs who hear it now form a family, and ask what they do. - You make the noise that the citizens of Rome heard when Spartacus’ army smashed open their gates. Tell the MC that any NPCs who hear it who’ve been enslaved rise up, throw off their chains, take up arms, and attack their slavers, and ask what happens. You can instead, if you choose, pander to your audience. Roll-hot. On a 10+, choose 1. On a 7–9, choose 1, and take -1weird to the next time you try to crack open the world. On a miss, choose 1, and the next time you try to crack open the world, don’t roll, treat it as a miss. - They cough up. The person who holds your leash gets 10-barter. - They cough up. The person who holds your leash gets 6-barter. - They cough up. The person who holds your leash gets 1-barter. At the beginning of the session, tell the person who holds your leash whether to spend 1-barter, 2-barter, or an absurd 3-barter for your lifestyle. They have to. If they can’t, it’s not your problem, they have to work it out with the MC. If you need jingle during the session, you have to get it from them. As a one-time expenditure, and very subject to availability, 1-barter might count for a night in high luxury & company; any weapon, gear or fashion not valuable or hi-tech; a session’s hire of a violent individual as bodyguard; a few sessions’ hire of simple labor; the material costs for crash resuscitation by a medic; a few sessions’ tribute to a warlord; a few sessions’ maintenance and repairs for a hi-performance vehicle well-used; bribes, fees and gifts sufficient to get you into almost anyone’s presence. For better stuff, you should expect to make particular arrangements. You can’t just wander around the commons of some hardhold with oddments ajangle and expect to find hi-tech or luxe eternal. I mean, you can expect to, but like, shit.

Andrews Virginia Fisheries Laboratory, Gloucester Point I. Introduction North of Chesapeake Bay, one of the foremost problems of oyster planters is to obtain a regular supply of seed oysters; to the south, the problem becomes one of how to handle an overly abundant set. Virginia is the most northerly state with an adequate supply of seed oysters, and setting should not be a problem. The natural set will suffice if proper steps are taken to catch and utilize it. We are most fortunate in Virginia in having a consistent set of moderate intensity resulting in high quality seed oysters. At present only the best seed oysters, those from the James River, are being used; a large portion of these are wasted, almost deliberately, by sacrificing them to predators. The public oyster grounds include most of the natural oyster beds. Being hard shelly bottoms with a natural set, many of these are being put to their best use as seed-oyster grounds. Private grounds, often lacking in natural set, or with the set destroyed by predation, are usually suitable for growth-and-fattening only. While the logical procedure is to move oysters from public seed grounds to private growing grounds, in practice only the James River is used as a seed area. Tributaries, such as the Corrotoman and Piankatank Rivers, which would make good seed areas, despite poor growth are used as growing and fattening grounds. Other public grounds, such as the Rappahannock River, have rather poor setting and oysters are sparse. The first studies of oyster setting in Virginia waters were made by Loosanoff in 1931. From 1940 to 1945, Menzel, Hopkins, and Mackin collected some records. In the past eight years fairly intensive records of setting and survival have been collected from the three major tributaries in Virginia, the James, York, and Rappahannock Rivers. II. Setting a. Seasonal Patterns of Setting In Virginia setting usually begins the first week of July and continues until about the beginning of October—a period of 90 to 100 days (Andrews 1951). Setting is continuous in the James, and nearly so in the York, but in the Rappahannock it may stop for several weeks during the season. Two periods of heavier setting can usually be distinguished, the first in mid-July and the peak of the second from the middle of August to the middle of September. In each of these periods, covering three or four weeks, setting gradually builds to a peak and falls almost as slowly. In the James the early set is unimportant—amounting to less than 10 per cent of the total set. The late set usually reaches a peak about the first of September. In the York River, early and late sets may be of equal magnitude although often the late is more intensive. In the Rappahannock River, the early set, although small as compared with the other rivers, is the most consistent and important. Only rarely does a late set of any consequence occur. The first good set in the upper Rappahannock in ten years, in 1954, was late in the season. Further up the Bay in Maryland waters, the pattern for the Rappahannock River seems to apply, with early sets of low magnitude predominating but occasional late sets of good intensity. An interesting feature of setting in the Virginia rivers is the uniformity in a particular season of the time pattern throughout each river. As many as ten stations have been followed for setting pattern in the James River. Usually, the peaks and lows of setting occur in the same week for all stations in a river. While in a particular week the actual amount of set varies greatly from one station to another, the relative intensity of the set from week to week is similar for all stations. This pattern of timing and intensity of set suggests that the same broods of larvae are providing spat-fall for the whole river. b. Intensity of Setting The methods of estimating the amount of set or strike vary with the purposes for which the data are to be used. For the commercial oysterman, a count of spat on natural culch in late fall or early spring suffices. For the scientist seeking causes and explanations, it is desirable to know the initial set as well as the surviving set at later times. Too often no distinction is made between initial set and surviving set. We have found that the number and size of spat on collectors at the end of two weeks exposure are often similar to that found at the end of one week. It is evident that in these samples most of the spat setting the first week had died by the end of the second. Three different records of the quantity of set have been taken in Virginia. First, weekly exposure of collectors is assumed to approximate initial set. For this count 10 to 40 marked shells are mixed in a wire bag with about a quarter of a bushel of filler shells. Second, survival or seasonal records are obtained by exposing shells of uniform size and quality in wire bags throughout the setting season. All the spat on a quarter of a bushel of shells are counted. Third, the surviving set on natural culch is obtained each fall from samples dredged from public grounds. All the spat on samples from one-quarter to one bushel in size are counted. Samples of each of these three kinds of records, from the best seed ground in the James River, are shown in Table I. Table I. Samples of Records of Setting on Wreck Shoal James River, Virginia (Number of spat per shell) \| Year \| Total of weekly sets for season \| Set in seasonal shell bags \| Set on natural culch \| \|------\|---------------------------------\|----------------------------\|----------------------\| \| 1947 \| 313 \| 13 \| 3.6 \| \| 1948 \| 308 \| 9 \| 3.5 \| \| 1949 \| 215 \| 15 \| 7.4 \| \| 1951 \| 80 \| 8 \| 6.4 \| \| 1952 \| 80 \| 6 \| 3.8 \| In the James River, total weekly sets for a season may exceed 300 spat per shell. For weekly setting records, clean culch is exposed each week, so that this figure represents a setting rate or potential set under nearly optimal conditions. During peak setting weeks, sets of 60 to 75 spat are obtained on individual shells. Seasonal sets on individual shells in wire bags seldom exceed 15 spat per shell. The average seasonal catch for natural culch is usually less than five spat per shell. The commercial set is reduced to a small percentage, usually less than five per cent, of the initial set. In the York and Rappahannock Rivers, initial set is considerably lower, survival somewhat better except where drills are active, and the commercial set lower than in the James. An average of one spat per shell is seldom exceeded on natural culch. Some of the smaller tributaries obtain a better set but as yet none studied exceed the James in amount or consistency of setting. In the absence of drills, it appears that the survival rate increases as the strike decreases, although nowhere in Chesapeake Bay is setting so heavy that serious crowding is encountered. Survival increases on up-river grounds where salinities are low. At Deep Water Shoals in the James, the set is quite low, and dependent upon salinity conditions, but survival as high as 80 per cent has been recorded. It appears that late-setting spat survive better than early set, despite overwintering at a smaller size--often 1 to 3 millimeters. Wherever oyster drills are present, the survival picture is violently upset. In the James River only Brown Shoals, the lowest of the seed beds, is infested. Scarcely any of the moderate set on Hampton Bar survives. Drills are present in the lower parts of the York and Rappahannock Rivers. In the York, where the set is moderate, scarcely any survive beyond an age of three or four weeks. In the Rappahannock lower salinities hamper the activities of drills and losses are often minimal. c. Gradients of Setting While local variations from a variety of causes are expected, it appears that in Virginia setting is heaviest near the mouths of rivers and decreases progressively upriver (Table II). If counts are not made soon after setting, a great many factors, such as predators Table II.

ORDER DENYING EXPORT PRIVILEGES On June 27, 2017, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, Luis Antonio Urdaneta Pozo (“Pozo”) was convicted of violating Section 38 of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. § 2778 (2012)) (“AECA”). Specifically, Pozo was convicted of knowingly and willfully exporting from the United States to Venezuela items designated as defense articles on the United States Munitions List, namely, handguns and ammunition of various calibers, without the required U.S. Department of State licenses. Pozo was sentenced to 63 months in prison, three years of supervised release, and a $100 special assessment. Section 766.25 of the Export Administration Regulations (“EAR” or “Regulations”) provides, in pertinent part, that “[t]he Director of the Office of Exporter --- 1 The Regulations are currently codified in the Code of Federal Regulations at 15 C.F.R. Parts 730-774 (2018). The Regulations originally issued under the Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended, 50 U.S.C. §§ 4601-4623 (Supp. III 2015) (“the EAA”), which lapsed on August 21, 2001. The President, through Executive Order 13,222 of August 17, 2001 (3 C.F.R., 2001 Comp. 783 (2002)), which has been extended by successive Presidential Notices, the most recent being that of August 8, 2018 (83 Fed. Reg. 39,871 (Aug. 13, 2018)), continued the Regulations in full force and effect under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. § 1701, et seq. (2012) (“IEEPA”). On August 13, 2018, the President signed into law the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019, which includes the Export Control Reform Act of 2018, Title XVII, Subtitle B of Pub. L. 115-232 (“ECRA”). While Section 1766 of ECRA repeals the provisions of the EAA (except for three sections which are inapplicable here), Section 1768 of ECRA provides, in pertinent part, that all rules and regulations that were Services, in consultation with the Director of the Office of Export Enforcement, may deny the export privileges of any person who has been convicted of a violation of... section 38 of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. § 2778).” 15 C.F.R. § 766.25(a). The denial of export privileges under this provision may be for a period of up to 10 years from the date of the conviction. 15 C.F.R. § 766.25(d). In addition, Section 750.8 of the Regulations states that the Bureau of Industry and Security’s Office of Exporter Services may revoke any Bureau of Industry and Security (“BIS”) licenses previously issued pursuant to the Act or the Regulations in which the person had an interest at the time of his/her conviction. BIS has received notice of Pozo’s conviction for violating Section 38 of the AECA, and has provided notice and an opportunity for Pozo to make a written submission to BIS, as provided in Section 766.25 of the Regulations. BIS has not received a submission from Pozo. Based upon my review and consultations with BIS’s Office of Export Enforcement, including its Director, and the facts available to BIS, I have decided to deny Pozo’s export privileges under the Regulations for a period of 10 years from the date of Pozo’s conviction. I have also decided to revoke all licenses issued pursuant to the Act or Regulations in which Pozo had an interest at the time of his conviction. Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED: First, from the date of this Order until June 27, 2027, Luis Antonio Urdaneta Pozo, with a last known address of Inmate Number: 68375-018, FCI Edgefield, P.O. Box 725, Edgefield, SC 29824, and when acting for or on his behalf, his successors, assigns, employees, agents or representatives (“the Denied Person”), may not, directly or indirectly, participate in any way in any transaction involving any commodity, software or technology (hereinafter collectively referred to as “item”) exported or to be exported from the United States that is subject to the Regulations, including, but not limited to: A. Applying for, obtaining, or using any license, license exception, or export control document; B. Carrying on negotiations concerning, or ordering, buying, receiving, using, selling, delivering, storing, disposing of, forwarding, transporting, financing, or otherwise servicing in any way, any transaction involving any item exported or to be exported from the United States that is subject to the Regulations, or engaging in any other activity subject to the Regulations; or C. Benefitting in any way from any transaction involving any item exported or to be exported from the United States that is subject to the Regulations, or from any other activity subject to the Regulations. Second, no person may, directly or indirectly, do any of the following: A. Export or reexport to or on behalf of the Denied Person any item subject to the Regulations; B. Take any action that facilitates the acquisition or attempted acquisition by the Denied Person of the ownership, possession, or control of any item subject to the Regulations that has been or will be exported from the United States, including financing or other support activities related to a transaction whereby the Denied Person acquires or attempts to acquire such ownership, possession or control; C. Take any action to acquire from or to facilitate the acquisition or attempted acquisition from the Denied Person of any item subject to the Regulations that has been exported from the United States; D. Obtain from the Denied Person in the United States any item subject to the Regulations with knowledge or reason to know that the item will be, or is intended to be, exported from the United States; or E. Engage in any transaction to service any item subject to the Regulations that has been or will be exported from the United States and which is owned, possessed or controlled by the Denied Person, or service any item, of whatever origin, that is owned, possessed or controlled by the Denied Person if such service involves the use of any item subject to the Regulations that has been or will be exported from the United States. For purposes of this paragraph, servicing means installation, maintenance, repair, modification or testing. Third, after notice and opportunity for comment as provided in Section 766.23 of the Regulations, any other person, firm, corporation, or business organization related to Pozo by ownership, control, position of responsibility, affiliation, or other connection in the conduct of trade or business may also be made subject to the provisions of this Order in order to prevent evasion of this Order.

MINUTES OF THE BUDGET HEARING OF THE CAREFREE TOWN COUNCIL WHEN: TUESDAY, JUNE 4, 2019 WHERE: CAREFREE TOWN COUNCIL CENTER - 33 EASY ST., CAREFREE, AZ. TIME: 5:00 P.M. Attending: Mayor Les Peterson Vice Mayor John Crane Vince D’Aliesio Stephen Hatcher Michael Krahe Cheryl Kroyer Gene Orrico Absent: None Also Attending: Gary Neiss, Town Administrator; Jim Keen, Town Accountant/Assistant Town Clerk; Kandace French Contreras, Town Clerk/Treasurer. Mayor Peterson opened the meeting at 5:00 p.m. ITEM #1 PUBLIC HEARING: Discussion and possible action regarding approval of Resolution 2019-07: Determining and Adopting Estimates of Proposed Expenditures by the Town of Carefree for the Fiscal Year Beginning July 1, 2019 and Ending June 30, 2020 and Declaring that Such Shall Constitute the Budget for the Town of Carefree for Such Fiscal Year. Mayor announced the agenda item and introduced Town Administrator, Gary Neiss. Mr. Neiss presented a Power Point and a history of the approximately three-month process of budget workshops and meetings of the Council beginning in April with three budget workshops and then additional meetings to further delineate the budget. Mr. Neiss reminded the Council that this was a line item budget and the most delineated budget presented by a municipality. The tentative budget was adopted in May and, after publication of the tentative budget, this meeting sets the final budget. Mr. Neiss went into further information regarding the increased revenues and growth of various industries, including home building, commercial businesses, restaurants and retail locations. He highlighted the marketing program and discussed the various areas of the marketing plan that was developed by staff and council as well as changes to marketing and the ability to recapture costs incurred for marketing the Enchanted Pumpkin Festival. He showed the reserves and noted that it is reaching the level of $10 million which allowed for the investment in infrastructure as a result of wise financial management. Mayor Peterson asked for comments. Council Member Orrico spoke and stated that, at the last meeting, he was the only council member to vote against the proposed budget. He explained he did so because of the marketing budget. He said he was remiss in agreeing to the signing of the contract with Villafane Studios to get out of the event business and allowing the Town to wait until 2020 for Villafane Studios to take control of the entire Pumpkin Festival. What he wanted is for the Town to get out of the festival right now instead of hoping the Town receive the negative amount invested returned. He said there was no recourse. In looking back, as a business person, he believes the entire festival should have been given to Villafane Studios immediately. He feels that the Town has “hemorrhaged” money for the Pumpkin Festival but it doesn’t help enough merchants. He stated more thoughts on his feelings regarding helping the merchants and thoughts on the festival and generating income to the Town businesses. Council Member Kroyer commented that Council Member Orrico did not understand the contract. She explained the steps in process and the ability of Ray Villafane to take over the event of this size. The contract permits the Town to receive all its money before Mr. Villafane receives a penny, whether it is in year one, two or three. She felt the Town has been very conservative in the figures for net income for the event. Safeguards have been put in place. Council Member Kroyer also stated that, in regard to the merchants, the Town is drawing people to Carefree to support the merchants and see everyone be successful. A lot of ideas are provided to merchants to help them in their success. Mayor Peterson further clarified and commented regarding the transfer of the Enchanted Pumpkin Festival to Villafane Studios. There were additional comments by the remaining Council regarding the Enchanted Pumpkin Festival and the draw of visitors and businesses due to the activity of the festival and the regeneration as a destination location. Council Member Kroyer made a motion to approve Agenda Items 1. There was a second by Council Member Krahe. Mayor Peterson requested a roll call vote. Gene Orrico – No Vince D’Aliesio – Yes. He reiterated his prior comments supporting the budget process. Vice Mayor Crane – Yes. He further commented to the support of the budget process and the statements made by other council members regarding the transfer of the festival to Villafane Studios. He sees a great financial recovery model in the contract. Michael Krahe – Yes. Cheryl Kroyer – Yes. She further commented regarding the helpful budget process. She feels it is the best and most thought out and scrutinized budget. Stephen Hatcher – Yes. He commented that Mr. Neiss did a great job and a lot of time was spent on the budget process and reviewing and making changes, including every operational budget of each department. Given the results, something is being done right. Mayor Peterson – Yes. He reiterated the reserves, infrastructure improvements and the budget process reflected the Town was going in the right direction and had excellent fiscal management. He thanked the staff and Mr. Neiss particular as well as Jim Keen for their hard work. The motion carried by a vote of 6 to 1. ITEM #3 Adjournment. Vice Mayor Crane made a motion to adjourn. There was a second by Council Member Orrico. Meeting ended at 5:21 p.m. DATED this 7th day of June, 2019.

By: Paul Davidson A husband tries to move on after his wife passes away from cancer. But soon he discovers that her death is no accident, and the person responsible is someone that he never imagined. Published on Booksie booksie.com/Paul Davidson Copyright © Paul Davidson, 2014 Publish your writing on Booksie.com. CHAPTER ONE: THE END? I stood by her left side of this hospital bed, holding her hand as my eyes gaze into her broken soul. Those green eyes, the same eyes I have loved ever since the day we met, has now withered away into depression and anxiety from her illness. Everything inside me wanted to see her out of this place, but the longer I gaze upon her condition (the paleness of her skin, the weakness in her voice), the more my heart starts to doubt it, and it’s making my every hope disappear before my very eyes. "Please!! Please don't go!!" I begged, fighting the pain inside as I grasp her hand ever so tightly. "I'm sorry, I don't have the strength to go on anymore" she whimpered as tears of sorrow washes over her eyes. She disconnects her gaze to look forward, and lifts her head to cover her coughs. Gratefully she stops, and rests her head back upon her pillows as she returns her gaze to mine. "Please, take care of yourself and our children, when they need you". "Don't say that! Don't, please hold on, I-I can't go on without you". She gently strokes my left cheek with the back of her hand. "I'm sorry, you have too- Suddenly her cough returns, but this time it's so bad she's struggling to breathe. I look towards the door behind me, ready to charge for help, but just in time it opens. Over a dozen doctors and nurses came storming in to our aid. They surround us, checking either the monitors or her condition. I turn back to my beloved, but sadly her eyes are closed, and even this doesn't free them to grace me once more. â Sir you're going have to stay outsideâ commanded the short blond haired nurse as she steps and gently pushes my chest towards the door. â No, wait, thatâs my wife- â I understand, but this is medical procedure. You're going to have to stand outsideâ. Without remorse, she continues, as if her mind is programmed to only treat the physically ill, and not the emotionally scarred. I wanted to push her out the way, but I also didn't want to interfere with the surgery, so I let her guide me into this empty hallway filled with lights as she closes the door in front of me. I peek through the small window in the middle, hoping to get at least a glance of my beloved. But the over-crowd of white lab coats surrounding and rushing to revive her made it impossible to see even an inch of her hand. I wanted to burst in so badly I can feel my fists clinch with aggression, but no matter what, I had to hold myself back. Feeling defeated, I unloosen my grip and turn away to lean my head against the door. My mind felt like letting her go, but my heart couldn't bare the thought of this. Letting the woman I loved for over fifty-two years die? It feels inhuman. It feels like something I wouldn't dream of doing, even on my worst day. But still, out of concern, I lean back up to check through the window. Now they seem to be moving a little faster than before, as if she's in danger. But I hear the heart monitor, and its beeping normally. Is something's really wrong? I have to see. I turn the knob, but it jiggles. I bang on the wooden frame outside of the glass five times, but strangely no one turns around. I bang harder, this time to the point of breaking it as I yell for help. Thankfully the same nurse rushes over and opens the door, but not without swinging it wildly as if to hit me. I stepped back, just avoiding it by inches. "Sir stop- I rush pass her towards my wife's side. "Sir you can't be in here!" I ignore her commands as I push the other doctors away to see her. Oh no! Her head is turned away from me, and as I'm leaning over, I can still see traces of pain and sorrow upon her face. Suddenly the heart monitor goes berserk. I glance to find its red lines jumping out of control. Oh no! She's slipping into cardiac arrest! I have to save her! Suddenly something grabs my arm and pulls me away behind the doctors. I see them coming together, and I knew from the mild strawberry scented body spray that it was the nurse trying to guide me back outside, but I struggle to pull myself forward; hoping to reach my wife in time. Suddenly something grabs my lungs, and squeezes them until all my breath escapes. "Sir, you have to leave! Come on". I try to speak, but my voice seizes along with it. My heart is pounding like a drum as if it's trying to burst out of my chest. I turn to look ahead out the opened door and see the hallway began to twist into a blur. I hold on to the archway, and feel my legs starting to give in. "Damn!! I don't think she's going to make it. We're gonna need penicillin here stat!!" commanded a doctor behind me. Oh no, she's about to go. I don't think I can go on. All those years together, from the time we met, to the time we wed, to the time our children were born, all will be reduced to living the rest of my life in pure loneliness. I think, instead of fighting, I should let it consume me, just to be able to hold her hand and be by her side once again. I collapse upon the floor, feeling my back slam hard against the floor as I watch the ceiling in front of me start to fade. Even in this blur, I can still hear the same, cold hearted nurse finally racing to my side. She stops and kneels down, pressing her cold hands against my chest as her head rests between them. Within a second she lifts back up and yells: "Hey, we have a man down out here!!" I hear heavy footsteps racing towards me, but now my life feels like its slipping away. I can no longer see them, I can no longer hear their voices; and for the first time I think, maybe, this is for the best. I slowly open my eyes when the sound of a heart monitor reaches my ears. But my eyes, they remain in a blur, hopefully they will terminate soon. I gaze around. Suddenly my vision starts to clear, and it isn't long before I can see this entire hospital room again. I turn left with a smile, hoping to meet my wife's heart warming gaze once more, but all I capture is the beeping of a lonely heart monitor standing just a few feet away from my bed. I look on top of its screen, and that's when my whole world crashed before my eyes. It's the same golden locket I gave her for her twenty-forth birthday, hanging just inches off the screen. I gently pick it up, and lay it across all four of my fingers as I press its broken link, caused by one of the doctors, with my thumb. As I gaze at my reflection on its surface, I can feel my heart sinking into the bottom of my stomach. I can't believe it. She's gone, and there's nothing I can do to save her. For weeks my stay felt empty and hollow. All those doctors checking those readings from the I.V.'s, all those nurses bringing me food and water, all felt empty from the little to no conversations. But even all this wasn't the worst yet to come. Now I am hopelessly slouching on a black, folded up chair, buried in misery as dozens of relatives surround me on this cold December morning. With their voices drenched with despair, each woman released their cries among the air, in a place I never expected to see Alice: a funeral. My eyes have been resting on her polished, oak wooden coffin this whole time, and with every passing second, I wish I was there instead of her. I feel so desperate for her touch that I wished she would leap out and wrap her arms around me, like she always did every time I came home, but as the seconds fade, so does the belief, and it's making me feel the end result: failure. My old friend, Reverend James, gives the eulogy. His light and confident voice is trying to help us believe she's living a more peaceful and harmonizing life above, but all it's really doing, is bringing me back to the day we first met. November 21, 1982: Being the first of my family to go to college, and after being accepted at University of Penn for accounting, I couldn't wait to see what my life would be like there. All these expectations of meeting new friends, and having my own room filled my mind as I stepped onto the low-cut green-grass of its courtyard, surrounded by its beautiful, Eighteenth century styled building. As my three freshly purchased books lay perfectly still in my hands, I wondered through the first opened main doors into a hallway filled with new students. Some was standing	<urn:uuid:605d3f83-a937-47d7-8cd3-ce921e699dd4>-0	1	0	2	0
Opener: When did prayer ever change your life that you can recall? If prayer has not changed your life that you are aware, why is that do you think? Questions: 1. Considering 2:19-22, why does Paul pray as he does? What are his underlying views of God? 2. What is the nature of the spiritual power, love and fullness for which he prays? 3. Three times in 3:14-21 Paul mentions “love” and “power.” What do we learn about love and power in these verses? 4. Why was Paul’s prayer especially important for the Ephesians and the early Christians? How is this similar or different today? Application: 5. Discuss the benediction / blessing of verses 20-21: what meaning do you derive from it? 6. Consider for yourself what areas in your life you believe need healing and reconciliation – physically or emotionally or spiritually or all? What such obstacles or barriers have been adversely affecting your life? 7. In silence, take some time to pray together as a group, and raise to God the areas in the above question. Listen if God is guiding you to seek out healing prayer from the trained prayer ministers of UCM at the conclusion of the worship service or by appointment. Responding in Prayer: Choose one item from Paul’s prayer and make it this week a prayer of your own, for yourself and your church. *Questions comprised in reference to both the Serendipity Bible for Groups and The NIV Quiet Time	<urn:uuid:157d893a-61fa-4ecd-9ed1-c487b00c6452>-0	1	3	2	3
Evolution of the Observed Lyα Luminosity Function from $z = 6.5$ to $z = 7.7$: Evidence for the Epoch of Re-ionisation?

Lyα emitters (LAEs) are galaxies that can be detected out to very high redshifts during the epoch of re-ionisation. The evolution of their luminosity function with redshift is a direct probe of the Lyα transmission of the intergalactic medium (IGM), related to the amount of neutral hydrogen. We report on the results of a search for LAEs at $z = 7.7$ using HAWK-I at the VLT with a narrowband filter centred at 1.06 μm. We did not find any LAE candidates, which allows us to infer robust constraints on the LAE luminosity function at $z = 7.7$. Depending on which luminosity functions at $z = 6.5$ are referred to, our results may reflect a significant quenching of the IGM Lyα transmission, possibly from a strong increase in the neutral hydrogen fraction between these two redshifts. The quest for distant objects has made spectacular progress since the discovery of the first astrophysical object at a redshift > 6, a Lyα emitter at redshift 6.56 (Hu et al., 2002). For finding high-redshift galaxies, astronomers mainly use two techniques based on optical and infrared imagery data. The Lyman-break technique uses the redshifting of the Lyα forest to locate strong absorption breaks in broadband photometry of galaxies (Lyman break galaxies – LBGs), while the narrowband (NB) technique looks for a photometric excess in NB filters due to the redshifted Lyα line. NB filters are usually designed to coincide with regions of low OH emission of the night sky, leading to discrete redshift values. At $z = 5.7$ and $z = 6.5$, the largest samples of LAEs were obtained with the SuprimeCam on the Subaru Telescope (Ouchi et al., 2010; Hu et al., 2010; Kashikawa et al., 2010). Large samples of LBGs at redshift > 7 have been recently assembled from Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations with the new WFC3 near-infrared camera. Similarly, quasars at high redshift are found using the Lyman-break technique in multi-colour datasets over very wide fields, such as the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Finally, gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been discovered at very high redshift and nicely complement the other methods by probing the faint end of the galaxy luminosity function. Probing the epoch of re-ionisation Observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) allow astronomers to constrain the history of re-ionisation. Polarisation measurements of the CMB from WMAP show a large optical depth due to Thomson scattering of CMB photons from free electrons in the early Universe, suggesting that the re-ionisation started 500 million years after the Big Bang at redshift 10.6 ± 1.2 (Komatsu et al., 2011). Conversely, the strong increase of the optical depth in the Lyα forest of high-redshift quasars is a likely indicator that re-ionisation was mostly complete at a redshift of $\sim 6$. Determining how and at what pace the re-ionisation process took place when the Universe was 500 Myr to 1 Gyr old are the key questions that motivate the search for high-redshift objects. Due to the resonant nature of the Lyα line ($\lambda = 121.6$ nm), Lyα photons are easily affected by neutral hydrogen on their path to the observer and are scattered out of the line of sight. Thus, it has long been proposed that Lyα transmission by the intergalactic medium (IGM) could be used as a probe of its ionisation state during the re-ionisation epoch. One observational method of probing Lyα IGM transmission is to study the evolution of the LAE luminosity function (LF) with redshift. Various results show that the Lyα LAE LF remains surprisingly unchanged from $z \sim 2$ to $z \sim 6$. Ouchi et al. (2010) and Kashikawa et al. (2011) infer from their NB observations that the evolution of the LAE LF between $z = 5.7$ and 6.5 can be attributed to a reduction of the IGM Lyα transmission of the order of 20%, which can in turn be attributed to a neutral hydrogen fraction $x_{HI}$ of the order of 20% at $z = 6.5$. Hu et al. (2010) have recently questioned this result and report significantly different LF parameters. They report lower number counts and no evolution in luminosity between $z = 5.7$ and $z = 6.5$. These somewhat discrepant observational results could tentatively be attributed to cosmic variance or to differences in the selection criteria and in extrapolations of the spectroscopic samples to photometric samples. New data at redshift $\sim 6$ will help in resolving the current contention, while data at higher redshifts can bring new constraints at still poorly explored redshifts. This paper (see Clément et al. [2011] for full details) presents new results on the LAE luminosity function at $z = 7.7$, from observations carried out at the VLT with the HAWK-I instrument (Casali et al., 2005). Narrowband observations at 1.06 μm Thanks to its wide field of view (7.5 by 7.5 arcminutes), excellent throughput and image quality, HAWK-I is ideally suited to searching for faint near-infrared (NIR) objects such as very high-redshift galaxies. The main dataset was obtained through a dedicated ESO large programme between September 2008 and April 2010. It is primarily based on observations using a NB filter at 1.06 μm (hereafter referred to as $NB1060$). In addition, we include in our analysis HAWK-I science verification NB data taken in 2007. High-redshift galaxies can be extremely faint, and thus an efficient way to detect the faintest objects is to make use of massive galaxy clusters as gravitational telescopes. The amplification provided by gravitational lensing of background sources by foreground galaxy clusters allows us to probe luminosities that are intrinsically fainter than in the field, but at the expense of areal coverage due to space distortion. We performed a careful analysis of the relative merits of blank field and cluster fields and determined that observing two clusters and two blank fields would be optimal in terms of high-redshift LAE yield, while mitigating the effects of cosmic variance. Our selected fields were Abell 1689 and 1E0657-56 (Bullet Cluster) for the cluster fields, the northern half of the GOODS-S field and a subarea of the one square degree CFHTLS-D4 field for the two blank fields. The fields were chosen for the wealth of the available archival data. For one field, Abell 1689, it proved hard to assemble a consistent multi-wavelength dataset covering the full 7.5 by 7.5 arcminute HAWK-I field of view; this field will therefore be analysed separately and is not included in the present analysis. Figure 1 presents finding charts of the three fields studied here. Candidate selection We do not expect $z = 7.7$ LAEs to be detected in any of the filters blueward of the Ly$\alpha$ line redshifted to 1.06 μm. First, negligible amounts of radiation are expected to escape the galaxy and to be transmitted by the IGM below the Lyman limit at 91.2 nm, which is redshifted to $\sim 790$ nm. In addition, all the radiation between the Ly$\alpha$ and Ly$\gamma$ lines at $z = 7.7$ is entirely redshifted beyond the Gunn–Peterson trough at $\sim 850$ nm observed in the spectra of high-redshift quasars and which corresponds to	d097e974-5bae-45c0-945a-5f54db98a514-0	0	4	3	3
October 3, 2019 Dear Parents and Families, I know many in our community have been made aware of a situation that occurred at McCollough Unis on Wednesday, October 2nd. I would like to provide you with accurate information while at the same time respecting the privacy of our student and family. On Wednesday, around 5:00 pm, one of our middle school students was transported to the hospital due to a medical episode while swimming. Fortunately staff members, trained in first aid, were able to take immediate action to address the situation. EMS and police responded quickly and the student was transported to the hospital. The student was one of several students taking part in an off-season alternative workout session in the pool with our middle school swim coach due to football practice being cancelled. All of us at McCollough-Unis pride ourselves on creating a caring and supportive environment within our schools for students, staff, and their families. When someone in our McCollough-Unis family is in need, we know that our amazing community will be there to support each other. This morning there was a support team in place with licensed counselors and social workers available throughout the day to offer support for any of our staff and students in need. The team will continue to be available for those who need further support. Should you feel your child and/or children need additional support, please feel free to contact me by phone at (313) 827-1700 or by email. My email is [email protected]. Please continue to keep our student, their family, and our school community in your thoughts and prayers. I will provide you with additional updates as they arise.

February 14, 2011 Chief George Turner Atlanta Police Department 226 Peachtree Street, S.W. Atlanta, Georgia 30303 RE: Complaint of Bluette Hector #10-51 Dear Chief Turner: The Atlanta Citizen Review Board (“ACRB”) completed its investigation and adjudication of the complaint alleging that Officer Brian Thomas used excessive force when he arrested Bluette Hector on July 2, 2010. Ms. Hector explained that she is a property manager for Stanford Village. Ms. Coleman was a tenant in the complex and she wanted to speak with her and advise her that she was not going to renew her lease because of the problems that they had with her two daughters. According to Ms. Hector, Ms. Coleman began to cry and began to leave. Her daughter, Tonia was standing outside the door. Tonia told her mother not to worry because she called and reported that Ms. Hector had struck her. Ms. Hector did not respond. She closed the door to her office. About 15 minutes later, Officer Brian Thomas arrived and spoke with Ms. Coleman and her daughter. After speaking with them, Officer Thomas came into her office and spoke with her and Brian Smith. Mr. Smith is another employee of the apartment complex. They each told the officer what happened and that she never struck Ms. Coleman’s daughter. He left her office and then returned and told Ms. Hector to put her hands behind her back. Ms. Hector stood and put her right hand behind her back and asked what was going on. She noticed the officer reach for his handcuffs and asked what was going on and, “what did they say to you?” She says that the officer only said, “Put your hands behind your back.” She asked him to call a supervisor but he refused. Officer Thomas placed a cuff on her right hand and she held up her left hand and pleaded with him to call a supervisor. Ms. Hector said Officer Thomas pulled her from behind her desk with the handcuffs and called for back-up. Officer Thomas twisted the cuff on her right hand and this caused her to fall onto her desk. She said that Officer Thomas kicked her left leg open, cuffed her left hand and pulled her straight up. He told her he was detaining her but did not tell her the reason. He escorted her to the patrol car with the windows closed and no air conditioning. She complained that the handcuffs were too tight and she was in pain. Officer Thomas did not loosen them, instead, told her to be quiet. She continued to ask Officer Thomas to call a sergeant. She claims that he responded by saying, “They’ll be plenty when I get to the precinct.” He closed the car door and went to the rear of the car to talk to Ms. Coleman and her daughter. Another tenant and another officer arrived. She asked Ms. Wheat, the tenant, to walk over to the patrol car and open the door because it was extremely hot. Ms. Wheat did so. She told Officer Davis what happened and Officer Davis spoke with Officer Thomas. The other employee called Ms. Hector’s son and Ms. Hector’s son had a conversation with Officer Thomas on a cell phone. After the phone conversation, Officer Thomas told her that he was taking her to the precinct to be interviewed and processed. He then got into the patrol car and let her window down and closed the door. Officer Davis spoke with Officer Thomas again and Officer Thomas returned to the car and opened the door and said that he was going to let her go with a ticket for disorderly conduct. Ms. Hector said that Officer Thomas apologized and said, “I guess I can’t apply for a courtesy officer’s job here.” Ms. Hector said that she immediately went to Zone 1 to file a complaint and met with Sergeant (now Lieutenant) Johnny Hall on three separate occasions. She said that Lieutenant Hall told her that he told Officer Thomas that he could not arrest her and he would look into getting the charges dropped. Ms. Hector said that they were trying to resolve this matter; however, after reviewing Officer Thomas’ statement in the police report, she decided to file a formal complaint with ACRB and OPS. The handcuffs resulted in red scars across her wrists, swelling and bruising. She provided photographs and she sought medical treatment for her injuries. Brian Smith, the Maintenance Supervisor at the apartments, was interviewed and confirmed Ms. Hector’s version of the incident. He added that it was very hot that day and she was in the car for approximately two hours before being released. Lagretta Wheat, the resident was interviewed and said she was in Ms. Hector’s office when Ms. Coleman and her daughter were present. She said Ms. Hector did not strike the daughter. She heard Ms. Coleman’s daughter tell her mother that she was going to call the police and report that Ms. Hector struck her. Ms. Wheat returned to her apartment and received a call from Brian Smith asking her to return to the rental office. She responded and observed Ms. Hector in the back seat of the patrol car with the windows rolled up and no air conditioning. She went to the patrol car to find out what was happening. She told Officer Thomas that she was there and no one struck Ms. Coleman’s daughter. Ms. Hector complained that the handcuffs were too tight and Ms. Wheat told the officer. He told her he would not loosen them and if she kept opening the patrol car door, he would arrest her. She repeated that Ms. Hector had done nothing wrong. He told her that she was resistant when he tried to detain her and he was going to arrest her for that. Officer Davis arrived and she explained what she saw and a short time later, he said that he thought they should let her go. The police incident report submitted by Officer Thomas indicated that Ms. Hector apologized. Ms. Hector denies this and says it was Officer Thomas who apologized. The criminal case was dismissed. The reported temperature on July 2, 2010 was between 84-85 degrees. The photographs show bruising on her wrists. Lieutenant Johnny Hall was interviewed. He said he became aware of the incident when Ms. Hector came to the precinct to file a complaint, but he also said that Officer Davis called and advised him of the situation. He did not recall specific details of the conversation but said Officer Davis told him that Officer Thomas was trying to arrest Ms. Hector based on a biased witness statement. Lieutenant Hall told Officer Davis that he could not arrest her based on that one witness. Ms. Hector went to the precinct to discuss the matter; however, he claims that he could not recall the details of their conversation. He did recall telling Ms. Hector that he would work on trying to get the citation, “pulled,” but he had to talk to Officer Thomas before doing so. He said he didn’t speak with Officer Thomas about the incident because their off days did not coincide and then shortly thereafter, he was transferred. He stated that Ms. Hector complained of injuries to her wrist but he did not see signs of injuries. Officer Davis said he responded to the apartment complex for an officer in need of assistance. He saw Ms. Hector in the backseat of the patrol car. Initially, Officer Davis said that he didn’t speak to anyone except Officer Thomas. However, after further questioning, he stated that he spoke with a couple of the witnesses. He called Lieutenant Hall (then Sergeant) from his cell phone because Ms. Hector requested a supervisor. Officer Davis was asked if anything else was discussed with Lieutenant Hall and he replied that indeed, nothing else was discussed. However, he then stated he told Lieutenant Hall that he needed to come to the scene because it did not seem right that Ms. Hector was being arrested. He did not recall whether Lieutenant Hall gave him specific instructions. He was asked about his conversations with Officer Thomas and could not provide details of the conversation and evaded the question. He said that Officer Thomas told him there were conflicting stories and Hector refused to allow him to detain her. He said that Ms. Hector did complain about the handcuffs but only after they had been removed. Officer Thomas said that he responded to the apartment complex for a report of a dispute. He was met by the caller, Tonia Coleman, who said she was involved in an argument with Ms. Hector and that Ms. Hector pushed her. He went into the office and spoke with Ms. Hector and then went back outside and spoke with Tonia’s mother. Tonia’s mother corroborated her daughter’s version. Based on that information, Officer Thomas went to Ms. Hector’s office and advised her that he was going to detain her. He placed one cuff on Ms. Hector’s right wrist and she started to pull away and because of the resistance, he called for assistance. After they struggled for a few minutes, he managed to handcuff her second wrist and took her to the back seat of his patrol car. He was going to charge her with assault or battery. He insisted that he was only detaining her and not placing her under arrest. As the interview continued, Officer Thomas admitted that initially, he was going to take her to jail but after speaking with Sergeant Hall, he chose not to. He said that Sergeant Hall told him that he could not charge Ms. Hector with simple assault based on the mother’s statement. He said that Hall told him to charge her with disorderly conduct and give her a copy of the charges in lieu of arrest. He said she was in the patrol car for no longer than 10 minutes but could not recall if the windows were up or down. He said	<urn:uuid:a306c91b-bda4-4668-972f-8d621d93ddf3>-0	1	3	2	2

You may have to make some adjustments to protect your orchids when the cool season arrives. Some orchids are very intolerant of cold and may need to be relocated to a warm winter home while others are more cold tolerant and might only need protection on the coldest nights. Each type of orchid has its preferred minimum night temperatures during the winter cool season, below which cold-damage to the plant will occur. ♦ Most phalaenopsis, large two-toned vandas, evergreen dendrobiums and trichocentrum (mule-eared oncidiums) are the least tolerant of cold, preferring nighttime temperatures above 60 F (15.5 C), though some tolerate temperatures in the 50s F (down to 10 C). ♦ Most cattleyas and oncidiums prefer winter night temperatures in the mid-50s F (12–13 C), though some tolerate temperatures in the mid-40s (above 7 C). ♦ Deciduous dendrobiums bloom better after a cooler, drier winter rest period with no fertilizer, tolerating temperatures in the low- to mid-40s (4.5–7 C). ♦ Dendrobium section Dendrocoryne and cymbidiums are the most cold tolerant orchids of those that can grow in summer heat and are accepting of temperatures down into the 30s F (1–4 C). CATTLEYAS As a general rule, cattleya alliance plants prefer temperatures above 55 F (12.8 C) though many will tolerate temperatures into the mid-40s (above 7 C). Cattleyas from the Amazon such as Cattleya violacea prefer warmer temperatures, and there are many cold-hardy varieties that tolerate temperatures in the mid- to upper-30s (1.5–4.5 C), such as Cattleya (Sophronitis) coccinea, Cattleya loddigesii, Cattleya intermedia, Laelia anceps and Cattleya (Laelia) purpurata. As a general rule, protect your cattleyas when temperatures drop below 50F (10 C), particularly if they are in bud or in bloom. ♦ Cattleya purpurata (L. purpurata var. carnea) TRICHOCENTRUMS (Oncidium) splendidum ONCIDIUMS While orchids in the Oncidium Alliance have a wide range of cold tolerances, many of the cool growers that can withstand near-freezing winter temperatures are not grown in warm climates because they cannot tolerate the summer heat. The thick-leaved trichocentrum (mule-ear oncidiums) such as Oncidium lanceanum, are from lowland tropical areas and resent temperatures below 60 F (15 C). Most that w CYMBIDIUMS John William Easton CYMBIDIUMS Cymbidiums are perhaps the most widely grown orchids, beloved for their variety of color, long bloom period and ease of culture. Sadly for southern hobbyists, many are cool-growers that don’t grow or bloom well in summer heat unless you have carefully selected for warmth- and heat-tolerance. Cymbidiums are very cold tolerant. Their ideal minimum temperature is 40 F (4.5 C), although they tolerate temperatures into the mid-30s (about 1.7 C) and will survive light freezes with some cold damage.	<urn:uuid:f58ab02d-372d-4e7e-a3f9-fadab920ff02>-0	3	4	3	0
Chinese pork demand has returned to pre-ASF levels and we can probably put to rest some of the talk that more Chinese demand is around the corner. From the start Chinese officials and industry made it clear that restoring pork production was a national priority, they devoted a lot of resources to make that happen, and they emerged from the ASF outbreak far more quickly than many anticipated. There is more talk that Chinese producers are liquidating and this means more demand for US pork. They are liquidating because they have more pork than the market can bear, not because they want to import more. For now talk of recovery in Chinese demand seems either wishful thinking or self serving. Also, US pork continues to face an additional 25% tariff in China, which puts it at a disadvantage to EU pork. Even if EU pork production slows down, the Chinese market is just as important to them as it is to us. Total US exports of fresh, frozen and cooked pork in March were 184,030 MT, 25.7% lower than the previous year. All US pork exports in Q1 were 522,069 MT, 20.8% lower than a year ago. Much of the decline was due to lower exports to China although shipments to other markets were lower as well. US exports to China in Q1 were 39,296 MT, 119,733 MT or 75% lower than the previous year. Metric ton somehow doesn't register so consider that US pork exports to China in Q1 were down 264 million pounds. On a carcass weight basis this is roughly 350 million pounds or the equivalent of 1.6 million hogs. US pork production (on a carcass wt basis) was 6.9 billion pounds in Q1, down 388 million pounds. But much of that reduction was offset by the decline in exports to China. While exports to Mexico were up 38% in Q1, exports to other key markets were down. Japan down 15%, Canada down 17%, Colombia down 19% and South Korea down 6.6%. In total US exports to markets other than China were also down 17,621 MT in Q1 or –3.5%. The decline in exports may have offset much of the reduction in US pork production in Q1 but higher pork imports also added to the balance sheet, increasing the supply available in the domestic market. Often the tendency is to look at hog slaughter numbers and forget about trade flows. High hog prices also encouraged pork producers in other markets, especially in Canada and Europe, to ship pork and live hogs to the US. US pork imports in March were 57,520 MT, 18,368 MT or 46% higher than the previous year. For the quarter, US pork imports at 154,822 MT were almost 50,000 MT or 47% higher than last year. The increase in US pork imports during Q1 was more than double the growth in exports to Mexico. While we don't have the carcass weight conversions for imports yet, we think imports may have added as much as 115 million pounds to the balance sheet vs. Q1 of last year. So even as domestic pork production saw a big decline in Q1, the loss of export demand and increase in imports more than made up for it. On Jan 1 freezer inventories were 4.7% lower than the year before but as more supply went into the freezer by the end of the quarter they were up 8% y/y. Higher carryover stocks and continued weak export demand may continue to shore up the domestic pork supply situation, despite fewer hogs on the ground.

18 Years of Excellence ANNUAL FINANCIAL INTEGRITY RATING SYSTEM OF TEXAS REPORT 2020 # TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction................................................................. 2 Notice........................................................................... 3 How Ratings are Assessed............................................. 6 2018-2019 District Status Detail.................................. 10 2017-2018 District Status Detail.................................. 13 Disclosures.................................................................... 17 Glossary....................................................................... 32 INTRODUCTION This is the 18th year of School FIRST (Financial Accountability Rating System of Texas), a financial accountability system for Texas school districts developed by the Texas Education Agency in response to Senate Bill 875 of the 76th Texas Legislature in 1999. The primary goal of School FIRST is to achieve quality performance in the management of school districts’ financial resources, a goal made more significant due to the complexity of accounting associated with Texas’ school finance system. The School FIRST accountability rating system assigns one of four financial accountability ratings to Texas school districts, as follows: - A for Superior Achievement - B for Above Standard Achievement - C for Standard Achievement - F for Substandard Achievement San Angelo ISD achieved the rating of “A” Superior Achievement for the 2019-2020 rating year as well as all 17 prior years of the School FIRST Rating System. Within two months after receipt of the final FIRST rating, each school district must announce and hold a public hearing to distribute a financial management report that explains the district’s performance and the district’s rating. The district believes in transparency and invites all interested parties to view our financial data on our web site – www.saisd.org. Reporting Your School District’s Financial Accountability Rating The School FIRST Communications Kit was updated in September 2018 to include changes in the Commissioner’s Rule for School FIRST that were finalized in August 2018. The most substantive changes in August 2018 will be implemented by the Teas Education Agency beginning with ratings year 2020-2021 based primarily on data from fiscal year 2020. During the phase-in period, the new School FIRST system has separate worksheets for rating years 2017-2018, 2018-2019, and 2019-2020 as compared to subsequent years. Under School FIRST, every school district in Texas is required to prepare an annual financial management report that includes the following: A. The district’s financial management performance rating provided by the Texas Education Agency (TEA) based on its comparison with indicators established by the Commissioner of Education for the state’s new Financial Accountability System. B. The district’s financial management performance under each indicator for the current and previous years’ financial accountability ratings; C. Additional information required by the Commissioner of Education. Notice: Starting with the 2007 calendar year, the financial management report that will be issued at the School FIRST hearing must contain certain required disclosures, in accordance with Title 19 Texas Administrative Code Chapter 109, Budgeting, Accounting, and Auditing Subchapter AA, Commissioner’s Rules Concerning Financial Accountability Rating System. Under Chapter 109, the Commissioner requires certain disclosures, as follows: 1. A copy of the superintendent’s current employment contract. The school district may publish the superintendent’s employment contract on the district’s Internet site in lieu of publication in the annual financial management report. This must disclose all compensation and benefits paid to the superintendent; 2. A summary schedule for the fiscal year (12-month period) of total reimbursements received by the superintendent and each board member, including transactions resulting from use of the school district’s credit card(s), debit card(s), store-value card(s) and any other instruments to cover expenses incurred by the superintendent and each board member. The summary schedule shall separately report reimbursements for meals, lodging, transportation, motor fuel, and other items (the summary schedule of total reimbursements is not to include reimbursements for supplies and materials that were purchased for the operation of the district); 3. A summary schedule for the fiscal year of the dollar amount of compensation and/or fees received by the superintendent from another school district or any other outside entity in exchange for professional consulting and/or other personal services. The schedule shall separately report the amount received from each entity; 4. A summary schedule for the fiscal year of the total dollar amount by the executive officers and board members of gifts that had an economic value of $250 or more in the aggregate in the fiscal year. This reporting requirement only applies to gifts received by the school district's executive officers and board members (and their immediate family as described by Government Code, Chapter 573, Subchapter B, as a person related to another person within the first degree by consanguinity or affinity) from an outside entity that received payments from the school district in the prior fiscal year, and gifts from competing vendors that were not awarded contracts in the prior fiscal year. This reporting requirement does not apply to reimbursement of travel-related expenses by an outside entity when the purpose of the travel is to investigate or explore matters directly related to the duties of an executive officer or board member duties, or matters related to attendance at education-related conferences and seminars whose primary purpose is to provide continuing education (this exclusion does not apply to trips for entertainment related purposes or pleasure trips). This reporting requirement excludes an individual gift or a series of gifts from a single outside entity that had an aggregate economic value of less than $250 per executive officer or board member; 5. A summary schedule for the fiscal year of the dollar amount by board members for the aggregate amount of business transactions with the school district. This reporting requirement is not to duplicate the items disclosed in the summary schedule of reimbursements received by board members; and 6. Additional information that the district’s board of trustees deems useful. Refer to the Commissioner’s Rules Concerning the Financial Accountability Rating System (Chapter 109, Subchapter AA) for more information. Templates for reporting the disclosures listed above are provided in the pages preceding the glossary in this communication resources kit. Publicizing Your District’s Financial Report and Rating Within two months of receiving the final financial accountability rating school districts are required to distribute the financial management report to attendees at a public hearing for School FIRST. The board of trustees is to have the public hearing at a district facility. The board must give notice of the hearing to owners of real estate property in the geographic boundaries of the school district, open-enrollment charter school, or charter school operated by a public IHE and to parents of school district, open-enrollment charter school, or charter school operated by a public IHE students. In addition, notice of the hearing, including date, time and location, must be provided to a newspaper of general circulation in the geographic boundaries of the school district, each campus of an open-enrollment charter school, or each campus of a charter school operated by a public IHE in one posting prior to holding the public meeting, providing the time and place of the hearing. The notice in the newspaper may not be earlier than 30 days or later than 10 days before the date of the hearing. If no newspaper is published in the county in which the district’s central administration office is located or within the geographic boundaries of an open-enrollment charter school’s campus or campus of a charter school operated by a public IHE, then the board must publish the notice in the county nearest to the county seat of the county in which the district's central administration office is located or in which the campus of the open-enrollment charter school or the campus of a charter school operated by a public IHE is located; and (B) through electronic mail to the mass communication media serving the school district, open-enrollment charter school, or charter school operated by a public IHE, including, but not limited to, radio and television. --- NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING TO DISCUSS SAN ANGELO INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT’S STATE FINANCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY RATING San Angelo Independent School District will hold a public meeting at 5:45 p.m. on November 16, 2020, in the Board Room of the Administration Building, 1621 University, San Angelo, Texas. The purpose of this meeting is to discuss San Angelo Independent School District’s rating on the State’s financial accountability system. District staff should have copies of the report ready to hand out to attendees at the public hearing and to anyone that requests a copy after the hearing. Rating Worksheet Preliminary ratings are released by Texas Education Agency every calendar year during the summer. The Commissioner’s Rules for School FIRST are contained in Title 19, Texas Administrative Code, Chapter 109, Subchapter AA, Commissioner’s Rules Concerning Financial Accountability Rating System. The School FIRST Communications Kit was updated in September 2018 to include changes in the Commissioner’s Rule for School FIRST that were finalized in August 2018. The most substantive changes in August 2018 will be implemented by the Teas Education Agency	1324c3e0-9d55-4dfd-8737-bb82f854348c-0	1	3	2	3
or improvement of capital assets of the government. Local & Intermediate Revenues: All revenues from local taxes and other local and intermediate revenues. For specifics, see the definitions for Local Tax and Other Local & Intermediate Revenues. This amount is recorded under Object 5700. Local Tax: This is all revenues from local real and personal property taxes, including recaptured funds from 1) Contracted Instructional Services Between Public Schools (Function 91) and 2) Incremental Costs associated with Chapter 41 of the Texas Education Code (Function 92). M&O Tax Rate: The tax rate calculated to provide the revenues needed to cover Maintenance & Operations (M&O). M&O includes such things as salaries, utilities, and day-to-day operations. Modified Opinion: Term used in connection with financial auditing. A modification of the independent auditor's report means there exists one or more specific exceptions to the auditor's general assertion that the district's financial statements present fairly the financial information contained therein according to generally accepted accounting principles. Nonspendable Fund Balance: The portion of fund balance that is in non-liquid form, including inventories, prepaid items, deferred expenditures, long-term receivables and encumbrances (if significant). Nonspendable fund balance may also be in the form of an endowment fund balance that is required to remain intact. Object: An object is the highest level of accounting classification used to identify either the transaction posted or the source to which the associated monies are related. Each object is assigned a code that identifies in which of the following eight major object groupings it belongs: - 1000 Assets - 2000 Liabilities - 3000 Fund Balances - 5000 Revenue - 6000 Expenditures/Expenses - 7000 Other Resources/NonOperating Revenue/Residual Equity Transfers In - 8000 Other Uses/NonOperating Revenue/Residual Equity Transfers Out Operating Expenditures: A wide variety of expenditures necessary to a district's operations fall into this category with the largest portion going to payroll and related employee benefits and the purchase of goods and services. Operating Expenditures/Student: Total Operating Expenditures divided by the total number of enrolled students. Operating Revenues and Expenses: Term used in connection with the proprietary fund statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in Net Position. The term is not defined as such in the authoritative accounting and financial reporting standards, although financial statement preparers are advised to consider the definition of operating activities for cash flows reporting in establishing their own definition. Other Local & Intermediate Revenues: All local and intermediate revenues NOT from local real and personal property taxes including: - Revenues Realized as a Result of Services Rendered to Other School Districts - Tuition and Fees - Rental payments, interest, investment income Sale of food and revenues from athletic and extra/co-curricular activities Revenues from counties, municipalities, utility districts, etc. Other Operating Costs: Expenditures necessary for the operation of the school district that are NOT covered by Payroll Costs, Professional and Contracted Services, Supplies and Materials, Debt Services, and Capital Outlay fall into this category and include travel, Insurance and bonding costs, election costs, and depreciation. This amount is recorded as Expenditure/Expense Object 6400. Other Resources: This amount is credited to total actual other resources or non-operating revenues received or residual equity transfers in. This amount is recorded under Object 7020. Payments for Shared Services Arrangements: Payments made either from a member district to a fiscal agent or payments from a fiscal agent to a member district as part of a Shared Services Arrangement (SSA). The most common types of SSAs relate to special education services, adult education services, and activities funded by the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). Expenditures associated with this functional area are reported under Function 93. Payroll: Payroll costs include the gross salaries or wages and benefit costs for services or tasks performed by employees at the general direction of the school district. This amount is recorded as Expenditure/Expense Object 6100. (NOTE: Payroll amounts do not include salaries for contract workers, e.g., for food service and maintenance. Therefore, this figure will vary significantly between districts and campuses that use contract workers and those that do not.) PEIMS: A state-wide data management system for public education information in the State of Texas. One of the basic goals of PEIMS, as adopted by the State Board of Education in 1986, is to improve education practices of local school districts. PEIMS is a major improvement over previous information sources gathered from aggregated data available on paper reports. School districts submit their data via standardized computer files. These are defined in a yearly publication, the PEIMS Data Standards. Plant Maintenance & Operations: The amount spent on the maintenance and operation of the physical plant and grounds and for warehousing and receiving services. Expenditures associated with this functional area are reported under Function 51. Property /Refined ADA: The district's Comptroller Certified Property Value divided by its total Refined ADA. Property/WADA: The district's Comptroller Certified Property Value divided by its total WADA. Refined ADA: Refined Average Daily Attendance (also called RADA) is based on the number of days of instruction in the school year. The aggregate eligible days attendance is divided by the number of days of instruction to compute the refined average daily attendance. Restricted Fund Balance: This is the portion of fund balance that has externally enforceable constraints made by outside parties. Revenues: Any increase in a school district's financial resources from property taxes, foundation fund entitlements, user charges, grants, and other sources. Revenues fall into the three broad sources of revenues: Local & Intermediate; State; and Federal. Robin Hood Funds: See Wealth Equalization Transfer. Rollback Tax Rate: Provides governments other than school districts with approximately the same amount of tax revenue it spent the previous year for day-to-day operations plus an extra 8 percent cushion, and sufficient funds to pay its debts in the coming year. For school districts, the M&O portion of the rollback tax rate allows school districts to add four cents ($0.04) to the lesser of the prior tax year compressed operating tax rate or the effective M&O rate to generate operating funds. School districts will get to add to the compressed operating rate any additional cents approved by voters at a 2006 or subsequent rollback election, not 8 percent. The rollback rate is the highest rate that the taxing unit may adopt before voters can petition for an election to roll back the adopted rate to the rollback rate. For school districts, no petition is required; it’s an automatic election if the adopted rate exceeds the rollback rate. School Year: The twelve months beginning September 1 of one year and ending August 31 of the following year or beginning July 1 and ending June 30. Districts now have two options. Special Revenue Fund: A governmental fund type used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources (other than for major capital projects) that are legally restricted to expenditures for specified purposes. State Revenues: Revenues realized from the Texas Education Agency, other state agencies, shared services arrangements, or allocated on the basis of state laws relating to the Foundation School Program Act. This amount is recorded as Revenue Object 5800. Unassigned Fund Balances: Available expendable financial resources in a governmental fund that are not the object of tentative management plans (i.e., committed or assigned). One primary criterion of rating agencies for school bonds is the relative amount of unassigned fund balance. Bond rating agencies view unassigned fund balances as a reflection of the financial strength of school districts and show concern when district fund balances decrease. Unmodified Opinion: Term used in connection with financial auditing. An unmodified independent auditor's opinion means there are no stated exceptions to the auditor's general assertion that the district's financial statements present fairly the financial information contained according to generally accepted accounting principles. Unrestricted Net Position Balance: The term Net Position refers to the amount of total assets less total liabilities. Unrestricted Net Position balance refers to the portion of total Net Position that is neither invested in capital assets nor restricted. WADA: A Weighted Average Daily Attendance (WADA) is used to measure the extent students are participating in special programs. The concept of WADA in effect converts all of a school district's students with their different weights to a calculated number of regular students required to raise the same amount of revenue. The greater the number of students eligible for special entitlements, the greater a school district's WADA will be. Wealth Equalization Transfer: The amount budgeted by districts for the cost of reducing their property wealth to the required equalized wealth level (Function 91). Sometimes referred to as Robin Hood Funds.

The deadline to apply for any of the programs for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 is June 26, 2025. HALLANDALE BEACH COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY RESTAURANT RENT EMERGENCY STABILITY GRANT About the Program The Restaurant Rent Emergency Stability Grant (RRESG) is an emergency rental assistance program designed to support restaurants within the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) boundaries during times of economic hardship. The program provides emergency funds to restaurants that need financial support due to today's volatile economic climate, which is creating unprecedented challenges for small and medium-sized dining establishments. Rising operational costs, fluctuating demand, inflation, and supply chain disruptions have placed many restaurants under significant financial strain, making it difficult to meet rental obligations. RRESG seeks to alleviate these burdens by offering rent relief for a period of up to six (6) months. This program serves as a crucial economic development initiative aimed at preserving and supporting restaurants during this period of economic uncertainty. By providing emergency rental assistance, it ensures that restaurants facing financial hardship due to rising costs and market instability can continue operating within the community. This grant offers a lifeline to restaurants at risk of closure, helping them meet their rental obligations and avoid displacement, thereby sustaining local jobs and economic activity. The program aligns with the Hallandale Beach Community Redevelopment Agency's (HBCRA) broader vision and goals of promoting economic revitalization, fostering business retention, and ensuring the long-term growth of the Hallandale Beach business community. By maintaining a strong commercial presence, the HBCRA is actively contributing to the overall vibrancy and sustainability of the local economy, enhancing the quality of life for residents and business owners alike. Program Objectives: 1. To provide emergency rental assistance for restaurants within the CRA boundaries. 2. To assist restaurants with past due rent and ongoing rental payments in response to economic hardship. 3. To promote the retention and growth of businesses, thereby enhancing economic stability and revitalization efforts within the HBCRA jurisdiction. 4. To bridge the gap between market-rate rent and the financial capacity of restaurants in need of assistance. Eligible Area: The RRESG is available to all restaurants located within one of the Hallandale Beach CRA Priority Areas. The HBCRA Priority Areas are as follows: 1. US-1 from Pembroke Road to SE 3rd Street 2. Foster Road from NW 11th Avenue to Dixie Hwy. 3. Hallandale Beach Blvd. from I-95 to NE 14th Avenue 4. District 8 – NE 1st Avenue from Hallandale Beach Blvd to NE 5th Street 5. South Dixie Hwy from Pembroke Road to SW 11th Street 6. Pembroke Road from I-95 to one block East of US-1 Eligible Applicants: The property owner and the tenant must be joint applicants, each assuming distinct responsibilities as follows: - Owner: The property owner must agree to provide low-risk lease terms and rates that are appropriate to the property’s location. Lease terms must remain stable throughout the grant period. - Tenant: The tenant must provide reasonable assurance to the HBCRA, by means acceptable to the Agency at its sole discretion, that they are capable of fulfilling their lease obligations. This assurance may include, but is not limited to, financial statements, credit reports, or business plans. The lease must have a minimum term of two (2) years. Subsidies will not be paid during periods when the restaurant is not in operation, such as during renovations or construction phases. Eligible Properties: All restaurants located within the HBCRA boundaries with proposed leases. The Agency, at its sole discretion, may change the list of Qualified Retail from time to time. Qualified Restaurant includes: - Restaurant/food service - family-oriented restaurant, ice cream shop, coffee shop, micro-brewery. Eligible Project Costs: The RRESG is not a cost-based program. It provides rental assistance as a grant subsidy to help bridge the gap between market rent rates and the tenant’s capacity to pay. This subsidy is applied directly to rent payments. Basis/Limits of Benefits: The RRESG is a one-time funding opportunity designed to provide immediate financial support to restaurants. Approved applicants will receive assistance covering up to two months of past-due rent, along with an additional four months’ support that covers thirty-five (35%) percent of the tenant’s rent. This grant serves as a temporary relief measure to help restaurants meet their rental obligations and remain operational during economic hardships. The HBCRA guarantees 35% of the qualified tenant’s financial obligations under a proposed lease, in addition to covering up to two months of past-due rent, ensuring sustained business activity within the community during times of economic hardship. Program Benefits: The RRESG will provide financial support for eligible businesses through two key forms of assistance: 1. Past Due Rent: The program will cover up to two (2) months of past due rent, paid directly to the landlord. 2. Ongoing Rent Assistance: After addressing past due amounts, the program will provide rental assistance for an additional period of up to four (4) months. This assistance will cover thirty-five percent (35%) of the tenant’s financial obligation under the lease for each month, ensuring the tenant can maintain occupancy without facing financial hardship. Assistance beyond six months will not be provided. Subsidies will be provided to the tenant as a reimbursement after the rent has been paid in full to the landlord. To receive the 35% assistance, the tenant must submit proof of payment, and the reimbursement will be processed accordingly. Automatic Disqualifications The following conditions will result in automatic disqualification from the RRESG: a. It is determined that the application does not meet the spirit, intent, and/or legal requirements of the program. b. A prior grant awarded to the applicant was rescinded by the HBCRA. c.

SYMPLESEQ A simple to build analogue step-sequencer, brought to you by HEXINVERTER.NET electronics projects for musical synthesis (Assembly and Operation Manual rev.1) Introduction Hello, and thank you for your interest in or purchase of sympleSEQ! This is the build manual for the project. You will find the schematics, as well as an assembly guide, printable drill template and tips on how to get the most out of sympleSEQ. This project was born out of a serious lack of simple analogue hardware sequencers available to build. There are oodles of sequencer designs out there, ranging from simple to complex, but the actual construction of said devices is usually quite laborious, regardless of the electrical complexity/functionality. By design, a sequencer is a fairly simple device, so this tempts many people to not use printed circuit boards when assembling one and just build it all on perf-board. The actual logic circuitry for a sequencer is usually quite easy to understand - especially in the case of a design built around the CD4017 decade counter (known by many as the “Baby10”) like this one. Where builders encounter hardships however is in the extreme redundancy of wiring the controls for these devices. Each step in the sequence requires a potentiometer (knob), toggle switch and LED at minimum. If you have ever soldered wires to panel components, you probably know how delicate of a process it is -- it would be nice to have four hands when doing jobs like this, making just a handful of controls take a decent amount of time and endurance to complete -- let alone 8 or more sets of controls! The general consensus is that in analogue synthesis, you can never have too many modulation sources. Despite its only providing 8 steps of control voltage, sympleSEQ can still satisfy many builders with 16 or 32 step sequencers already dedicated to pitch modulation by providing extra modulation sources for filters or anything else you can control via control voltage. Most of all however, sympleSEQ’s target audience is people new to do-it-yourself (DIY) synthesis. When most people think “analogue synthesizer”, something like Pink Floyd’s famous tune “On the Run” probably comes to mind. So, it is only natural that nearly every beginner lusts for the sound of an analogue sequencer. The task of building one for a beginner up until now has been one of great difficulty for most, due to the lack of documentation and the extreme complexity of wiring such a thing to the panel for use afterwards. Enter sympleSEQ: using a unique dual-board design, primarily board mount potentiometers, LEDs and switches, you can build yourself a simple analogue step-sequencer with little electronics knowledge. Note that sympleSEQ does not do every single thing that a more complex, large and expensive sequencer does. There may be some features you miss (voltage quantizing, forward/back and other things are not included), but I think all of the essentials are here. sympleSEQ was made possible only by the extensive online community of creative minds at the electro-music and Muffwiggler forums. Were it not for people contributing their excellent suggestions on feature enhancements for the prototype design and me trying to satisfy peoples’ requests, sympleSEQ would be nowhere near the product it is now! Also, the cost of running such a product was made possible through pre-funding accumulated by trustworthy individuals who supported the project financially from the beginning! Of particular mention are those who contributed start-up funding to the project. Seeing only videos and forum correspondence from me about the project and placing a great amount of trust into me is something sympleSEQ would not have survived if not for, so I would like to put out a “thank you” to everyone who placed their financial trust in this project! There is no way I could have funded the start up cost for this project myself, so it just goes to show what many people’s small effort can do when summed up together. Without the amazing do-it-yourself community we have, and the power of the internet, none of this would have been possible! It is a truly awesome spectacle to see so many unique projects realized with the power of communication technology. Thank you all for being a part of it! If you have not heard, Ben of Re:Synthesis is going to be selling panels to complement this project directly from him. He is also offering fully assembled modules! Get on board that project by visiting the forums if you’re a regular there, or contacting him directly: http://www.resynthesis.co.uk Anyway, enough of the babbling. Let us get onto the actual manual! If you are looking for quick facts, check out the FAQ (frequently asked questions) at the back of this manual. - Stacy Gaudreau, aka Hex Inverter hexinverter.net Electronics Table of Contents (note that all items are interactive - click to be taken to the page) 5: Technical Information 6: Assembly Guide 7: Logic Board Assembly 11: Control Board Assembly 16: Wiring Multiples 17: Reset, Pause and External Clocking 18: Mechanical Assembly 19: Appendix (schematics, drill template, FAQ etc.) Technical Information Power Supply Requirements: 5-15V DC supply @ ~15mA. sympleSEQ is very forgiving in terms of supply voltage as it uses CMOS circuitry. Of course the LED brightness will change with the voltage used, so you may need to adjust resistor values for odd voltages (say 8v or less perhaps?). The module has been built and tested at 9V and 12V, but should work at pretty much any other in the stated range. It is a great candidate for being put into a portable unit as it can run from a 9V battery with ease and does not require a dual voltage supply like much analogue gear does. Control Voltage Output: The output levels will be relative to the supply voltage you use, and should range from 0 to your supply voltage minus a diode voltage drop of about 1V -- ie: at 9V supply, you should see a maximum CV out of about 8V. Gate Output: The gate will output a positive voltage excursion approximately equal to your supply voltage minus 1V for each step that has its switch at the “ON” (up) position. To use sympleSEQ with gear that wants specific gate levels (ie: 5V gate only) you must drop the voltage level by adding some circuitry to the gate output to your desired voltage level. Onboard Clock: sympleSEQ uses CMOS logic square waves operating at or near the supply voltage for a clock source. This clock should be useful for driving most other sequencer designs as well, but you may choose to run sympleSEQ from another more feature rich sequencer’s clock. If this is the case, you will need a square wave that is close to the supply voltage you are running sympleSEQ at. Control Pot. Knobs: Due to sympleSEQ’s extremely compact design, space is very tight on the panel. The maximum knob diameter you can use without mechanical issues is 19mm, but I highly recommend something more like 13 or 14mm. This entire module is very Eurorack in design, in that it packs maximum functionality into minimal space. One interesting feature of the Alpha 9mm PCB mount potentiometers used in this module is their pseudo-knob like shaft. The pots’ shafts have a nice grippy surface as well as a pointer on them, thus, they function very much like knobs already! You may choose not to use knobs at all based on this if you wish to save cost/panel space. Assembly Guide When putting your sympleSEQ/s together, I recommend following a set of steps I have synthesized in order to do things in a logical manner. Your mileage may vary, so feel free to experiment and come up with a better system. If you’re a seasoned electronics person, you will probably find most of it does not apply to you, so feel free to just skim through it. Don’t expect me to answer questions that have been answered already in this manual without giving you the stink-eye though! Soldering Tips If you have never soldered before, I highly recommend doing some research first before embarking on this project. I list a few videos below that should be all you need to get up and running making excellent soldering joints. A decent temperature controlled iron is expected for you to be able to complete this project. It is possible that you may damage some of the components while soldering them in if you are using a poor quality iron and have to hold the heat to the joint for too long. Something I can add that I think is very beneficial: do NOT use sponges as tip cleaners!!! I NEVER use a sponge. Get yourself one of those wire/steel wool looking tip cleaners. I found a pair for $10 on eBay. There is simply no comparison. A sponge seriously damages your iron. Why? Well, first of all, when you plunge your nice hot tip into a sponge covered in cool water, it rapidly cools your tip. Metal does NOT like rapid heat changes, and it also causes your tip to cool off somewhat which makes it work to get back up to operating temperature (if you have a good iron, you probably won’t notice it, but with a crappy iron it will probably mean you have to wait after cleaning your tip to get back	<urn:uuid:dc97a734-de2a-4491-b263-4c22c8ad4530>-0	1	4	4	3
could input a PWM controllable square wave to sympleSEQ in place of the stock clock and have gate length control. If you do not know what I am talking about here, don’t fret. I’d expect only a seasoned DIYer to know how to implement this. When you want to use sympleSEQ’s clock to control other gear, make sure first that the gear you want to clock is compatible with CMOS level clock circuitry. Most are, but it helps to verify. Clocking other gear is as easy as running a lead from either the CLK.A or CLK.B pad on the logic board to a jack which goes to the sequencer you want to sync. Mechanical Assembly Well, you have gotten this far, and hopefully the electrical assemblage of your sympleSEQ is complete and without fault. Now it’s time to finish the project up by putting it in an enclosure that you would like to use it in. If you have purchased ready-made panels from Re:Synthesis, you can of course skip the whole drilling step. I will start off by saying that I highly recommend you have a drill press for this. There are quite a few holes to drill on sympleSEQ and while it is not impossible with a hand drill, it will be pretty fatiguing. Start off by printing out the drill template in the appendix. It has been made such that it is easy to affix it to your panel and drill the holes for the control board to go through. I will leave it up to you to locate and drill the positions for tempo, output jacks and any other additional features you wish to include. Everyone’s configuration will be different, of course. It is crucial that you try to get the holes as accurate as possible, as all 8 steps of the board need to fit through the holes nicely. Once your holes are drilled, it’s just a matter of installing the 6 machine screws holding the control panel in place, and then affixing the logic board to the back. Congrats on finishing your sympleSEQ! Now, go make some music! Appendix Here you will find resources that will aid you during your build.

You can use sympleSEQ either as a clock source, or clock it from other master sequencers. Q: I think mine is buggy. Why does it act funny when I select more than one step to reset at with the switches? A: This actually is not a bug. This is a side-effect of the minimalistic circuitry in sympleSEQ and is a known thing. It is important that the user understand they need to undo one reset point before setting another, or chaotic patterns may result! Unfortunately you can not have everything perfect when working with very limited components. This shouldn’t harm the module to use it in this way if you enjoy the effect for musical purposes. Q: How long does it take to make one? A: This is all dependent on the builder’s skill and experience level, and also whether you purchased a ready-made panel from Ben at Re:Synthesis or not. Generally speaking, you should be able to complete the electrical assembly in about an hour if you are experienced. A beginner will want to carefully follow the instructions, however, and thus it will take a while longer. Drilling and panel making will add a fair bit of time to this if you did not order a panel! Q: I haven’t built anything before. Am I capable of building sympleSEQ? A: Yes! You are the target audience this project was originally conceptualized for. I have made every effort to make it possible for beginners to get themselves a sequential voltage source to start making sounds with. This is not to say that you will find all of the knowledge you need in this manual -- I have listed other resources in the “Soldering Tips” section that I strongly encourage you to check out. I have no doubt in my mind that if you are interested in electronics you are probably smart enough to learn along the way -- this alone should ensure you will be successful in your assembly. Of course, if you run into problems, me and others are available to help! Q: I missed out on kits. Where do I find the board mount switches/potentiometers?

The proposed phase-field model is based on the Allen–Cahn equation, which is a second-order nonlinear parabolic partial differential equation and originally arises from modeling phase separation in alloys. The numerical scheme is a hybrid method using the operator splitting method. To validate the proposed phase-field model for the shape transformation, we perform two- and three-dimensional shape metamorphosis. The proposed phase-field model is also compared with the linear interpolation. The computational results demonstrate that the proposed mathematical model satisfactorily and naturally simulate the shape transformation. © 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. \section{1. Introduction} Shape transformation has many applications in various fields such as remote sensing technique, medicine, graphic technique, and special effects creation \cite{1,2}. Shape transformation can be performed between objects of two- and three-dimensional shapes. In the related previous work \cite{3}, metamorphosis of solid models represented as $k$ level-set in a set of surface points $\mathcal{S} = \{\mathbf{x} : \phi(\mathbf{x}, t) = k\}$, which is governed by the following partial differential equation: $$\phi_t(\mathbf{x}, t) = \|\nabla \phi(\mathbf{x}, t)\| \tau(\mathbf{x}, t),$$ where $\tau$ is the signed distance transform. In order to do three-dimensional (3D) morphing, the authors in \cite{4} used the strain field interpolation. Linear strain interpolation is used for producing morphing results to avoid oscillations in local size over time. However, this method gives uneven rates of shape change overtime in cases of very large deformations. To overcome it, the authors proposed modified strain interpolation which... is to force the lengths of edges parallel to the coordinate axes to change linearly with time because the strain field arises due to length changes of line segments. The authors in [5] proposed a mathematically well-defined method and an Eulerian approach was constructed for mapping surfaces with different topologies. This work was mainly to find the implicit functions for the input meshes, and the zero level sets were visualized with the marching cube algorithm, then interpolated the functions with a morphing technique. By finding the velocity field that tracks the zero level sets, at last they detected the singular areas and removed them. The authors in [6] proposed four shape morphing methods using an elliptic partial differential equation (PDE). They adapted the Bloor–Wilsons PDE method originally introduced by Bloor and Wilson to generate free-form surfaces [7]. It expressed the solution of a given PDE in terms of a Fourier series. In addition, extensive researches on shape transformation or morphing were performed, using variational implicit functions [8], Poisson equation-based interpolation [9] and object-space morphing [10]. The main purpose of this study is to propose a phase-field model for shape transformation and its simple numerical scheme. The major advantages of the proposed phase-field model are its simplicity and ability to simulate naturally shape transformation. The paper is organized in the following manner. In Section 2, we describe the governing equation and numerical solution algorithm. To simulate the shape transformation, we perform the numerical experiments using the proposed phase-field model in Section 3. In Section 4, conclusions are given. 2. Governing equation and numerical solution algorithm 2.1. Governing equation We propose the modified Allen–Cahn (mAC) equation for the morphological transformation as follows: \[ \frac{\partial \phi(\mathbf{x}, t)}{\partial t} = -\frac{F'(\phi(\mathbf{x}, t))}{\epsilon^2} + \Delta \phi(\mathbf{x}, t) + \alpha \sqrt{F(\phi(\mathbf{x}, t))} (\psi(\mathbf{x}) - \phi(\mathbf{x}, t)), \] (1) where $ \mathbf{x} \in \Omega, \ t > 0, \ \phi(\mathbf{x}, t) $ is the phase-field, $ \epsilon $ is an interfacial transition layer related parameter, $ \alpha $ is a fidelity parameter, and $ F(\phi) = 0.25(\phi^2 - 1)^2 $ is a double-well potential. We set the source shape by $ \phi(\mathbf{x}, 0) $ and the target shape by $ \psi(\mathbf{x}) $. Here, we assume $ \min_{\mathbf{x} \in \Omega} \psi(\mathbf{x}) = -1 $ and $ \max_{\mathbf{x} \in \Omega} \psi(\mathbf{x}) = 1 $ because of the choice of the double-well potential. Otherwise, we redefine the target as \[ \psi(\mathbf{x}) := \frac{2\psi(\mathbf{x}) - \max_{\mathbf{x} \in \Omega} \psi(\mathbf{x}) - \min_{\mathbf{x} \in \Omega} \psi(\mathbf{x})}{\max_{\mathbf{x} \in \Omega} \psi(\mathbf{x}) - \min_{\mathbf{x} \in \Omega} \psi(\mathbf{x})}. \] (2) We can also derive Eq. (1) using the gradient flow in $ L^2 $ of the Liapunov energy functional [11]: \[ \mathcal{E}(\phi) := \int_{\Omega} \left[ \frac{F(\phi)}{\epsilon^2} + \frac{1}{2} \|\nabla \phi\|^2 + \frac{\alpha}{2} \left( \left( \frac{\phi^3}{3} - \phi \right) \psi - F(\phi) \right) \right] d\mathbf{x}. \] (3) By taking the variational derivative of Eq. (3) in the $ L^2(\Omega) $ space, we obtain Eq. (1) from $ \partial \phi / \partial t = -\delta \mathcal{E} / \delta \phi $. Furthermore, we have energy dissipative law, $ d\mathcal{E}/dt = -\int_{\Omega} (\partial \phi / \partial t)^2 d\mathbf{x} $. The basic mechanism of the proposed phase-field model will be described in detail in Section 3.1. Substituting $ \alpha = 0 $ in Eq. (1) gives the classical AC equation [12,13] which describes the process of phase separation in a binary alloy. In [14], the authors proposed a modified AC equation with a different source term for the piecewise constant Mumford–Shah functional for image segmentation. 2.2. Numerical solution algorithm First, we discretize Eq. (1) in three-dimensional space $ \Omega = (a, b) \times (c, d) \times (e, f) $. Let $ \Omega = \{(x_i, y_j, z_k) : x_i = a + h(i - 0.5), y_j = c + h(j - 0.5), z_k = e + h(k - 0.5), 1 \leq i \leq N_x, 1 \leq j \leq N_y, 1 \leq k \leq N_z\} $ be the cell-centered discrete domain, where $ N_x, N_y, $ and $ N_z $ are the number of spatial points, $ h = (b-a)/(N_x-1) = (d-c)/(N_y-1) = (e-f)/(N_z-1) $ is the uniform grid size. Let $ \phi^n_{ijk} = \phi(x_i, y_j, z_k, n\Delta t) $, where $ \Delta t $ is the temporal step size. Applying the operator splitting method to split Eq. (1) into the diffusion, reaction, and fidelity term: \[ \frac{\partial \phi(\mathbf{x}, t)}{\partial t} = \Delta \phi(\mathbf{x}, t), \] \[ \frac{\partial \phi(\mathbf{x}, t)}{\partial t} =	40d0f0c5-71dd-45ea-a9f3-d467987f37ed-0	1	4	5	1

Shape transformation in three-dimensional space 3.4.1. Effect of $\epsilon$ and $\alpha$ Next, we study the effect of parameter $\epsilon$ on the shape transformation dynamics. We consider a sphere of radius 0.6 with center at $(-0.3, -0.3, -0.3)$ as a source shape and a unit cube with center $(0.3, 0.3, 0.3)$ as a target shape in domain $\Omega = (-1, 1)^3$ with $N_x = N_y = N_z = 64$ as shown in Fig. 4(a) and (f), respectively. Fig. 4(b)–(e) show snapshots of shape transformation from sphere to cube with $\Delta t = 0.15h^2$, $\epsilon = 0.5h$, and $\alpha = 25000$. Now, we change the parameter $\epsilon$ by doubling or halving it and repeat the previous test with the same conditions. Fig. 5(a), (b) and (c) show snapshots of transformation at the same time $t = 34\Delta t$ with $\epsilon = h$, $\epsilon = 0.5h$, and $\epsilon = 0.25h$, respectively. We can see that speed of transformation is fast when $\epsilon$ becomes larger. Conversely, when $\epsilon$ becomes smaller, the rate of change is slow and the shape is not smooth. Next, we investigate the effect of $\alpha$ on the shape transformation dynamics. We generalize $\alpha$ to control the speed of the dissolution and the growth. We define the fidelity parameter as $\alpha(\psi) = \lambda \psi$ if $\psi > 0$; otherwise $\alpha(\psi) = -\lambda K \psi$, where $K$ is a scaling factor and $\lambda = 25000$. Fig. 5(d), (e), and (f) show snapshots of deformation at $t = 34\Delta t$ with different values of $K = 0.05$, 0.25, and 0.5, respectively. The fidelity parameter $\alpha(\psi)$ controls the speed of deformation. 3.4.2. Complex shape case Finally, we consider more complex 3D shapes such as Stanford Bunny (Fig. 6(a) and (g)) and Stanford Armadillo (Fig. 6(f) and (l)) for the source and target shapes, respectively. We set $N_x = N_y = N_z = 200$, $h = 0.005$, $\Delta t = 0.15h^2$, $\epsilon = 0.5h$, and $\alpha = 5 \times 10^5$. Fig. 6(b)–(e) show snapshots of shape transformation from Bunny to Armadillo using the proposed phase-field model. We present a linear interpolation result for comparison. $$\phi_L(x, y, z, \theta) = (1 - \theta)\phi(x, y, z, 0) + \theta\psi(x, y, z), \quad \text{for } 0 \leq \theta \leq 1.$$ For increasing $\theta$ values, Fig. 6(h)–(k) show snapshots of shape transformation from Bunny to Armadillo using the linear interpolation. As shown in the top row in Fig. 6, the shape structure changes continuously and smoothly when the proposed phase-field model is used. The bottom row in Fig. 6 demonstrates the sudden and unnatural morphological deformation that scope out of our intuition. 4. Conclusions In this article, we proposed the modified Allen–Cahn equation for the shape transformation and its simple numerical method. The numerical scheme is explicit, therefore, its implementation is easy and it does not have any domain size restriction. To validate the proposed phase-field model for the shape transformation, we performed two- and three-dimensional shape metamorphosis. The numerical results demonstrated that the proposed mathematical model satisfactorily and naturally simulate the shape transformation. An interesting future work will be developing a much more faster algorithm.

Page 44 MESSAGE FROM DIRECTOR HAMMOND My fellow Nevadans, Whenever I am asked why workforce development matters, I am reminded about the interconnectivity of workforce development from my 13 years in statewide service. Throughout my tenure as a high school teacher in rural Nevada, Director of Community Outreach at the Nevada Contractor’s Association, and long-serving Senator in the Nevada Legislature, I was able to recognize the importance of career pathways for a graduating student, employee retention and growth for a small business, and overall economic vitality for the State in the aftermath of the Great Recession and in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. When I was appointed to this role by Governor Joe Lombardo in October 2023, he commended me for my “visionary leadership and commitment to serving others.” Leading the Office of Workforce Innovation has truly been an unparalleled experience for me to link all these experiences together and demonstrate why workforce development matters for individuals, businesses, and the community. Now is an extremely exciting and critical time for workforce development. Businesses are reexamining the necessary skills for their positions as they struggle to find talented workers. Educational institutions are expanding the number of short-term training programs to meet industry demand. High school students are becoming exposed to the vast array of career opportunities through technical education, internships, and apprenticeships. The Office of Workforce Innovation has the opportunity to align the needs of private industry with curriculum in K-12 and higher education. Moreover, the Office of Workforce Innovation is positioned to assess what skills are required to meet the most in-demand occupations statewide and share those skills with training providers to ensure their programs are preparing Nevadans for the ever-changing, dynamic economy. The Office of Workforce Innovation will be the statewide navigator that trailblazes a path forward for alignment of the entire workforce development ecosystem. Serving as Director of the Office of Workforce Innovation is a true honor, and I look forward to partnering with you as we navigate the new era of workforce development. Sincerely, Scott Hammond Director of the Office of Workforce Innovation About OWINN The Office of Workforce Innovation (OWINN) helps drive a skilled, diverse, and aligned workforce in the State of Nevada by promoting cooperation and collaboration among all entities in the Nevada workforce ecosystem.

Notably, 78% of these funds stem from competitive federal grant awards that OWINN successfully secured for the state. Among these grants, the top three contributions are as follows: The U.S. Department of Education SANDI Grant, amounting to $13,818,299. This grant allocates 92% directly towards enhancing workforce training programs and covering tuition fees, with the remaining 8% designated for OWINN’s operational expenses and personnel. The U.S. Department of Labor ANAA Grant, totaling $4,500,000. Here, 90% of the grant is devoted to bolstering the talent pipeline to cater to employers’ needs. The U.S. Department of Labor’s H-1B grant, with a value of $2,500,000. Remarkably, 93% of these funds are directed towards expanding healthcare access in rural Nevada through strategic workforce development initiatives. Furthermore, OWINN’s operational budget is a subgrant derived from federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) funds allocated to Nevada. This allocation supports various OWINN expenses, including personnel, travel, operational costs, the NPWR data system, and the management of the Governor’s Workforce Development Board. The Office of Workforce Innovation is data-driven and is keen on using labor market information to inform programming and policymaking. Workforce and economic development data deliver insight on trends and shifts in the workforce, on a national, state, county, and city level. Metrics like labor force participation, employment by industry, growing occupations, and many others are key tools for OWINN and policymakers to leverage in order to form the best solutions. The following section highlights recent workforce and economic data that frame the reason why workforce development and OWINN’s continued work in the State truly impacts the Nevada workforce. Labor force participation rate is a key metric that indicates the strength of the workforce and greater economy. The labor force participation rate is calculated by adding the total number of people who are employed (actively working) and unemployed (not working, but able to work and are actively seeking work) divided by the total population. A high labor force participation rate means that the workforce is very engaged and more likely to be in the labor market if they are not already. The chart above indicates that Nevada’s labor force participation rate is slightly above the national average, with Nevada at 62.9 percent for the latest available data in February 2024 and the national average at 62.5 percent for February 2024. This is a positive turn of events given that Nevada’s labor force participation rate dropped significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic and struggled to catch up to pre-pandemic highs of February 2020 of 64.7 percent. While the State’s labor force participation rate is still below what it was ten years ago at 63.3 percent in February 2014, the rate has slightly increased from 62.7 percent last year in February 2023. Moreover, the Nevada	5c83cccc-3af5-41c4-b7a8-e978fff46f28-0	1	3	2	3
Financial assistance from T-Mobile Settlement funds has further empowered participants, particularly those from underrepresented backgrounds, granting access to scholarships for prerequisite courses, thus championing inclusivity and opportunity. Overall, the T-Mobile program has shown great progress, with 38 Teacher Mentors, 123 Teacher Mentees, and 40 Course Participants. Through resilience, dedication, and a shared vision, the T-Mobile program continues to make significant strides in transforming educational pathways and cultivating inclusive learning environments for all. The Office of Workforce Innovation’s potential to serve as the public workforce system navigator to individuals, businesses, and the community relies on a strong strategic vision. OWINN has a phenomenal opportunity to bring together existing workforce development partners along with new players to support, develop, and align the workforce development ecosystem. However, the ecosystem needs to be led with purpose in order to push beyond the status quo. Nevada is facing an inflection point with economic and workforce development, which will require a new roadmap to meet the needs of this critical moment. Through collaboration with national partners and Nevada research experts, OWINN seeks to understand best practices for workforce development and emulate those that are viable for the Silver State. Innovative programs that link K-12 education to employers in in-demand industries support the entire State, and OWINN is dedicated to bringing new ideas like these to the table with workforce development ecosystem partners. The OWINN strategic roadmap includes examples of best practices that the Office would like to explore, opportunities on the horizon given Nevada’s dynamic economy, and the instrumental role OWINN plays in innovating the State’s approach to workforce development. Individuals Roles of Workforce Development throughout an Individual’s Lifetime: - Quality childcare and pre-K learning opportunities - Strong foundational skills in K-12 education and early exposure to diverse career pathways - College and career blueprints to high school seniors - Develop soft and technical skills through vocational training, credentials, or higher ed - Utilize online job posting platforms to explore career opportunities - Adult education and training support for career progression and adaptability - Settle into career that pays family sustaining wages in high demand industries - Transparent access to wraparound supportive services like transportation, housing, food, child and elder care Best Practices to Support Individuals’ Access to Workforce Development - Alabama Talent Triad - Online platform that connects students and jobseekers to Alabama employers by creating a Learning and Employment Record that showcases the students and jobseekers skills, credentials, and experiences and automatically matches to job postings. - Opportunity Next Colorado - Provides scholarships of up to $1,500 to high school seniors to pursue either postsecondary education or training programs with priority given to those pursuing in-demand pathways. - Delaware Pathways - Links education and workforce development initiatives for youth by providing a platform where students can view all the necessary education and skills for a particular career pathway and which in-state training institutions can provide that training. OWINN Opportunity to Support Individuals’ Access to the Nevada Workforce Development Ecosystem Develop an online platform where Nevadans could create their own “digital wallet” with their skills, credentials, and education then could explore career pathway opportunities and be linked to hiring employers. Types of Businesses That can Benefit from Workforce Development Support: - Entrepreneurs - Existing Nevada Businesses - New Businesses Relocating to Nevada Roles of Workforce Development to Interact with Businesses: - Linking Career and Technical Education (CTE) program options for K-12 students to the needs of employers - Create public-private partnerships between higher education/training providers and businesses that tailor trainings specifically to employer needs - Engage with employers to explore opportunities to provide wraparound supports for employees (i.e. Employer-Provided Child Care Credit 45F) - Make State job-posting platform the preferred destination for businesses to host job postings and find talent - Statewide workforce development board represents a majority of employers, along with labor and government, to explore how to actionable policy solutions for improving business engagement with the public workforce system - Industry sector partnerships to gather employers from in-demand industries - Coordination with economic and regional development authorities to understand emerging industries coming to the State Best Practices to Support Business’ Interaction with Workforce Development: - Indiana’s Governor’s Workforce Cabinet’s Recommendations to Tackle Employer Talent Challenges - Employers from Indiana’s state workforce board led a stakeholder engagement initiative to identify opportunities for the State to assist employers. Their recommendations included helping employers find skilled workers, removing barriers to work, and preparing future skilled workers. - STEM Forward Michigan - Companies offer paid internships for students in science, technology, engineering, or math fields and the State will reimburse the employer up to $3,000 to provide hands-on career experience to the students and build the STEM talent pipeline. - New Jersey Return and Earn - An on-the-job training opportunity that provides a wage subsidy of up to $200,000 to employers who hire unemployed candidates with identifiable skills gap at a full-time position that pays $16/hour or over. OWINN Opportunity to Support Business’ Interaction with the Nevada Workforce Development Ecosystem: Survey employers to examine their in-demand technical/soft skills and have the Governor’s Workforce Development Board provide recommendations to increase programs that teach those demanded skills. How OWINN can Support and Align the Nevada Workforce Development Ecosystem: 1. Grow partnerships and prepare for the 83rd Legislative Session with partners to implement programming and policies that innovate the State’s approach to workforce development. 2. Be proactive in identifying and addressing emerging workforce trends such as skills-based hiring and artificial intelligence along with emerging industries like film and lithium. 3. Continue to improve NPWR by increasing available data and improving the front and back ends of the system to make it the statewide data hub that can be used to inform policy decisions. 4. Create an asset map of all workforce development organizations and partners, identify each players’ expertise, and clearly define roles for workforce services, programs, and systems. CONCLUSION The Office of Workforce Innovation thanks all of its partners for helping contribute to OWINN’s success in 2023 and the first quarter of 2024. OWINN’s guiding principle is to provide individuals with career pathway roadmaps and access to quality education and job training programs so they can acquire the soft and technical skills to match employer needs and promote economic vitality and sustainability for the State. The Office accomplishes this by examining real-time labor market data on labor force participation rates, current employment in leading industries, projected employment and accompanying growing occupations; capitalizing on partnerships, data, and programming to execute the Office’s current operations; and by developing a strategic roadmap to strengthen the workforce development ecosystem for individuals, businesses, and the community. The State of Nevada needs to be on the pulse of workforce innovation. The same strategies that used to serve employers and jobseekers needs are becoming outdated as the nation turns towards skills-based hiring, increased reliance on digital efficacy and artificial intelligence, and the importance of lifelong learning as individuals need to pivot more often in their careers. While there is still much work to do, OWINN hopes you see in the value and impact in this team’s efforts to strengthen the workforce development system. Thank you to OWINN’s Partners!

INTRODUCTION In a recent proposal, the term "meso-ionic" has been confined to five-membered heterocycles "which cannot be represented satisfactorily by any one covalent or polar structure and possess a sextet of electrons in association with the five atoms comprising the ring". We and others prefer a broader definition of this term - i.e. one which covers six-membered heterocycles as well, and it seems appropriate to include mesomeric betaine derivatives of heteropentalenes and even squaraines. In this review, only those six-membered mesoionic heterocycles will be dealt with which can be derived formally from the m-quinodimethane dianion (Chap. 2.). 2. DEVELOPMENT OF POSSIBLE SYSTEMS; NOMENCLATURE If the atoms $4,5,4,6$ or $2,5,$ and $7,8$ in the m-quinodimethane dianion (Scheme 1) \[ \begin{align} X,Y: & \quad -N,O,S \\ & \quad \text{A} \\ & \quad \text{B} \\ & \quad \text{C} \end{align} \] SCHEME 1 are substituted by N-, O, or S, respectively, three types of monocyclic mesoionic six-membered heterocycles will be obtained (A, B, C) which can be considered as 1,3-(A,C) or 1,4-dipolar (B) systems. Further introduction of appropriate heteroatoms (e.g. -N in position 4 of A, in position 2 and/or 5 of B) enlarges the number of possible heterocycles considerably; the extension of these general types, including selenium, provides the possibility of even more systems (Chap. 4.1.4). The connection of atoms C2 and N1, N1 and O7, O7 and C5, or C5 and O8, respectively, with homo- and/or heterocyclic 4π-rings leads to bi- and polycyclic systems (Scheme 2). The extension of this development is straightforward (B5 in Scheme 2), but since examples of these types of compounds are rare, this matter will not be further dealt with. Examples: (Type B2 unknown) Type B1 Type B3 Type B5 SCHEME 2 As in the case of five-membered mesoionic heterocycles, their six-membered analogues can be described only by several formulas involving positive and negative charges at various positions (Scheme 3, e.g., a-c); there may be arguments favouring one of these symbols, but it should be recognized that the electron distribution differs from one system to the other and that a "neutral" formulation (d,e) is to be preferred at the moment. Formula d implies a partial double bond character of the C=O-bonds; however, X-ray data do not substantiate this view (Chap. 3). With regard to these results, we advocate a description in which the carbonyl groups (or their equivalents) are explicitly written and which does not anticipate an experimentally unexplored charge distribution. In the opinion of one of these authors (W.F.), formula e serves quite well for this purpose, differing only marginally from a description (f) given by Coburn 11 and Glennon 12. The systematic naming of mesoionic compounds is not standardized. In Chemical Abstracts (1): 5,6-Dihydro-4,6-dioxo-4H-1,3-diazinium hydroxide, inner salt. (2): Anhydro-4-hydroxy-6H-6-oxo-1,3-diazinium hydroxide. (3): 6H-6-Oxo-1,5-diazin-1-i um-4-olate. (4): Mesoionic 4,6-Dioxo-1,5-diazine. Naming of Mesoionic Six-Membered Heterocycles SCHEME 4 nomenclature (1), (Scheme 4) is used. Still another systematic description is in use, especially in the German literature ((5)): the mesoionic compound is treated as an intramolecular salt of an alcohol ("olat") with a cationic system ("ium" as suffix). However, these designations are somewhat cumbersome; therefore as a shorthand notation it seems convenient to refer to the mesoionic systems in terms of the parent heterocycle together with the adjective "mesoionic" (Chap. 4). 3. THEORETICAL AND STRUCTURAL INVESTIGATIONS Even simple HMO calculations reveal that there is a remarkable stabilisation to be found in going from the m-quinodimethane dianion (1) to mesoionic heterocycles of type A, B, and C (Scheme 5). HMO-, together with CNDO/2 data of the mesoionic \[ \begin{align} \text{A} & \quad \text{B} & \quad \text{C} \\ \end{align} \] \[ \begin{align} E_{\pi}[B]^a: & \quad 9.431 & \quad 11.054 & \quad 11.297 & \quad 10.998 \\ \end{align*} \] a: Net π-bonding energy. HMO eigenvalues; heteroatom parameters: \[ \delta \alpha_N = 1.5 \beta, \delta \alpha_O = 1.0 \beta; \delta \beta_{C-N} = 0.8 \beta, \delta \beta_{C-O} = 1.0 \beta, \delta \beta_{N-N} = 0.6 \beta. \] SCHEME 5 4,6-dioxo-1,3-diazines B, 2, and 3, show - as expected - a reduced π-electron density at C2 and an enhanced π-electron density at C5. Interestingly, in 2 the heterocyclic ring acts as an electron acceptor, whereas in 3 it acts as an electron donor. These results are also obtained within the Hückel scheme. Both the Hückel and the CNDO/2 method predict a 2-phenyl-substituted 1,3-diazine (2) slightly more stable than the 5-substituted derivative (3). An important conclusion concerning the structures of compound B, as well as mesoionic 4,6-dioxo-1,3-oxazines, can be drawn from these calculations. As shown in Table 1, the bond order between N3 and C4 is very small - even lower than the corresponding value in the m-quinodimethane dianion. \| Method \| HMO; B \| HMO; 2 \| CNDO/2; 2 \| CNDO/2; 3 \|	483527a5-93b9-4cca-85b6-2e6ea7c0ad38-0	1	4	3	3

The Information Office has asked for guidance on the policy which should be followed in the publication by members of CERN staff of articles or press statements. I have had the advice of a small Committee set up to consider this question, and on the basis of their recommendations, I propose to lay down the following principles, as applying to all articles written by members of the staff and dealing with the work of CERN or with technical or other questions connected with the work of CERN, and whether or not these articles appear under the name of the author. I should be glad if senior members of CERN staff would regard it as part of their duties to respond to suitable requests from responsible journals by writing occasional articles about CERN or matters connected with CERN. This may be regarded as an unnecessary task distracting attention from essential duties, but I consider that the responsible press and public have a right to information about what is happening in CERN. 1. All requests for such articles should be referred in the first place to the Information Service who will decide whether the article is to be treated according to one or the other of the various categories set out below. Any cases of difficulty will be referred to me for decision. 2. A request for a technical article which raises no policy question would be passed directly to the Division concerned, and all that will be necessary will be for a copy of the final article to be sent to the Information Service for record. 3. The Information Service will be responsible for making the arrangements for the writing of either technical articles involving policy questions or any general articles on CERN, and all such articles will be seen in draft by the Information Service, which will be expected to give guidance on any question of policy which may be raised. Once again any difficult point will be referred to me for final decision. The Information Service will deal with the various cases in the following ways: a) Requests for technical articles which might raise policy questions will be referred to an appropriate staff member, with a request that he undertakes the work. b) Signed general articles on CERN requested by a periodical to be written by a particular person will, in ordinary case, be left to the person named. c) Requests for unsigned general articles on CERN will be referred to an appropriate staff member who might be asked to write the article. In important cases, the Director of STS or the Director-General will be consulted. The work could be done either in working hours or in spare time. In the latter case, I consider that arrangements should be made for any fee paid by the periodical to go to the author. This involves a question of copyright which is now being considered under article 4 of the Staff Regulations. 4. Press Releases: a) No press communication should be released without my visa, or in my absence, the visa of the Deputy Director-General. b) The initiative for suggesting a release could best come from Directors of Divisions or from the Directorate, who are best qualified to know when there is a story which could be given publicity. 5. In general, as I have suggested above, CERN staff should recognize the importance of properly handled publicity, particularly in view of the way in which CERN relies for its existence upon a favourable public opinion. Information Service therefore must have some responsibility stimulating a positive attitude among the staff to all publicity. This does not mean that the Information Service will seek publicity on all occasions; it will be restricted to significant	64da1c18-c30a-4b81-8aca-e656244f9367-0	0	1	2	3
Fire Doors The Winkhaus solution for FD30s fire doors Xtremedoor Keeping the heat in and intruders out Fire Doors The Winkhaus solution for FD30s fire doors Fire Doors are a crucial element to any building having two important functions in a fire, when closed they form a barrier to fire and smoke spread but should also provide a suitable means of escape. Winkhaus has worked extensively with the UK’s leading suppliers of composite door slabs and fire seals to achieve FD30s accreditation for residential fire doors. autoLock AV2+ During fire door testing the AV2 locking points are automatically engaged when the door is closed, as opposed to conventional locks where the door is tested with only the latch engaged which can allow the door to distort due to the heat and may affect the test result adversely. Ecoframe™ Door Frame Following extensive market research it was concluded that a viable alternative to timber and PVCu door frames was desirable that would not only help reduce costs but was also a product that could be recycled in accordance with the EU landfill directive. Ecoframe™ is the answer, produced from recycled materials (polypropylene, polyurethane, paper and aluminium). Typically re-cycled from plastic shopping bags, plastic bottles and aluminium cans. The wipe clean surface is extremely resilient to accidental damage, vandalism and burglary attack and can be repaired or individual frame members replaced if required. Ecoframe™ accepts market leading weatherseals and Intumescent seals for FD30s fire doors. Due to its very low thermal conductivity and UV stability Ecoframe™ is ideal frame material to compliment the latest designs in composite doors. Ecoframe™ is also compatible with leading brand Part M low threshold systems. - Certified 100% Non-toxic material - Certified ½ Hour fire door rated - Certified 100% Non toxic gases when burning For further details of autoLock AV2+, Ecoframe™ and Fire door testing please contact Winkhaus UK Ltd www.winkhaus.co.uk For the ultimate in safety, choose our high performance fire doors Vista fire doors are manufactured using Nan Ya slabs and provide 30 minutes of fire door performance. Our fire doors use an Ecoframe which is made using recycled materials and is specifically designed for 44mm thick composite door slabs. With a mechanically jointed system, individual frame parts can be replaced if needed. Our fire doors are best suited for the private and social housing sector and can be supplied glazed or unglazed. - Nan Ya slab / Ecoframe - Outer-frame available in RAL 9016 / White powder coat finish - Certified 30 minutes fire door rating - 100% non-toxic material and 100% non-toxic gases when burning - 44mm FD30 GRP door blank - FD30 fire rated glass Colour Options Black Green White Blue Red Automatic door lock for instant security Vista fire doors use an automatic door locking system. The hook locking points are automatically engaged when the door is closed, providing instant security without the need to lift a handle or use a key operated or thumb turn cylinder. As such the lock is ideal for installations in areas where residents are unable to use a standard lift lever handle and is suitable for a range of applications, particularly fire doors and communal doors.

VOLKSWAGEN SCIROCCO 5-SPEED If you liked the Scirocco before, well... The required objectivity of an R&T road test can be a very difficult problem. In the case of the love-hate cars the writer has to balance the oft-times contradictory thoughts of the many staff members who drive and make written comments about each test car, in an attempt to produce a staff consensus. At the other end of the scale are the cars so admired by the staff that virtually all their notes are complimentary. Such are the staff's feelings about the Volkswagen Scirocco. Why? Probably because there is little the Scirocco does wrong. It is a nice, tight design that is visually pleasing and almost more efficient than one would expect from a car tagged as a sport coupe. The car is quick, handles nicely, stops short and true, has good steering response, the seats are comfortable, the ventilation is excellent... and on and on. Certainly there are a few nitpicking complaints, as one staff member thought the pedals weren't quite where he liked them for heel-and-toeing, another wrote that the steering might be a little slow for tighter turns, while one driver thought the shocks a mite too soft which "... results in a little floating over undulating roads taken at speed (90+ mph)..." Good heavens, many of the cars we test are downright frightening at 90 mph. Then someone wrote, "... I'd want to spend a long distance in the car before committing myself to the worth of the severe contouring of the seatback, however..." which just goes to show the length some writers will go to get a certain car for the weekend. By now you may have gotten the impression that the only reason we had the car for testing was just to enjoy it again. Admirable as that reason may be, there have been changes to the Scirocco of late that justify this new test. Having last been tested by R&T in February, 1978 means we've seen the Scirocco return to a displacement of 1588 cc from the doldrums of the 1457 cc to which VW sent it during 1978. The calls for the return to power were answered and so we're back to 78 bhp at 5500 rpm and 84 lb-ft of torque at 3200, an increase of 8 bhp and 11 lb-ft—and we're delighted to have it, though our test car was a California version with 76 bhp and 83 lb-ft. To add to the pleasure is an optional 5-speed manual transmission. VW kept the same original four gears, including the 0.97:1 overdrive 4th, and added a 0.76:1 5th cog. With this lower numerical gearing VW also raised the final drive ratio, going from 3.90:1 to 4.17:1. The result of all this ratio juggling should be to make the 5-speed version faster and more fuel efficient than the 4-speed. It didn't quite work out that way when we ran the car for numbers, however, as we recorded 11.2 seconds from 0 to 60 mph versus 10.4 when we tested the 1457-cc version. These are the --- AT A GLANCE \| \| Volkswagen Scirocco \| Honda Prelude \| Toyota Celica Liftback \| \|------------------------\|---------------------\|---------------\|------------------------\| \| List price \| $7265 \| $6445 \| $6559 \| \| Curb weight, lb \| 2040 \| 2150 \| 2505 \| \| Engine \| inline 4 \| inline 4 \| inline 4 \| \| Transmission \| 5-sp M \| 5-sp M \| 5-sp M \| \| 0-60 mph, sec \| 11.2 \| 11.5 \| 10.4 \| \| Standing ¼ mi, sec \| 18.4 \| 18.7 \| 18.1 \| \| Speed at end of ¼ mi, mph \| 74.5 \| 74.0 \| 77.5 \| \| Stopping distance from 60 mph, ft \| 140 \| 152 \| 151 \| \| Interior noise at 50 mph, dB(A) \| 70 \| 71 \| 67 \| \| Lateral acceleration, g \| 0.766 \| 0.743 \| 0.688 \| \| Slalom speed, mph \| 60.8 \| 58.2 \| 59.3 \| \| Fuel economy, mpg \| 24.5 \| 23.5 \| 22.5 \| NOVEMBER 1979 115 times when the road test writer scratches his head and goes to the Engineering Editor asking, "Now how the hell did that happen?" In fact, weight differences are the likely culprits: The smaller-engine car we had previously run weighed 1950 lb at the curb and 2055 lb as tested. By contrast, our new limited-edition Scirocco was 90 lb heavier at the curb; strap in a different Engineering Editor from the previous test, and the as-tested weight was 2230 lb, an increase of 175 lb—or like carrying an additional passenger. At any rate, what really matters is that the Scirocco has sufficient power to please most every driver who would consider buying one, really performing from 3500 rpm up and comfortably revving right to 6000 rpm. Our only complaints, and they're minor ones, would be of occasional stalling when cold and some roughness at idle when the air conditioner is on. The 5-speed is a perfect companion for the Scirocco engine, having that same smooth, effortless quality about it that implies it has been well thought out and engineered. The matching of the gearbox ratios to the engine's characteristics follows that same theme, 1st and 2nd being correct for low-speed work, 3rd and 4th ideal for curving roads and 5th just right for cruising. While the overall mileage number of 24.5 mpg is well below the 29.0 mpg of our last Scirocco test, the latter number was trip mileage with a fair amount of freeway time, while the 5-speed was driven hard with far less cruising mileage. We should add that we've received a number of letters from readers commenting on the excellent highway mileage they've gotten with their 5-speed Sciroccos. The particular car we tested was a limited-edition model with Recaro seats, which provided excellent lateral support, and plaid cloth inserts to add some color to the otherwise somber interior. There are no other changes of note in the interior of the Scirocco and that's just fine with us. Everything is already well placed, whether it needs to be looked at or reached for, unless you are fascinated by engine oil temperature since that gauge is on the center console. An extra word has to be said about the very good ventilation system. Not only does it circulate a great deal of air with or without the air conditioning on, but when you need fan boosting, the fan is very quiet, an unusual feature in all too few imports these days. Back to the mechanical side of things, we also found little changed, again to our pleasure. The Scirocco remains one of the better balanced, more responsive cars we've driven. The balance comes in the compromise between handling and ride, reaching a high level with the former while giving up little in the latter. Driven properly, the Scirocco exhibits a benign sort of understeer that's easily overcome and a fair amount of body roll, though that isn't upsetting either. More than likely, curves are taken with the power on early for a front-drive car, the modulation of that power varying the grip (and direction) of the front wheels. But the Scirocco also has that important balance that means the power, handling, ride, steering, comfort and brakes are all in proper proportion. The steering, for instance, has a good blend of effort and road feel, while the brakes gave short stopping distances with little lockup and good control from 80 mph and no lockup and excellent control from 60 mph. All that and 0.766g on the skidpad and 60.8 mph through the slalom, too. The limited-edition Scirocco has some obvious external differences: a deep front air dam and some special stripes and trim. Much of what is available on that model, minus the stripes and trim, will be available in 1980 as the Scirocco S model. We've already recommended the seats and while we find the spoiler very attractive, we also cracked it several times in the course of normal driving, so a buyer will have to be careful with that. This leaves only the question—or should the word be problem?—of price. The situation is the familiar one of the dollar versus Deutsche Mark, which at this writing had the Scirocco base price at $7265, with an additional $555 for the limited-edition package. That seems to be a great deal of money, especially since we've seen the Scirocco grow in price from its initial $4450 in 1975. If you measure your automobiles on a tight cost-per-mile basis, you'd best look elsewhere, but if you truly enjoy driving, the Scirocco comes close to being a bargain. One of our staff writers commented that, "I'd even spend my own money for one," which is quite a commitment from a guy who makes	8be42556-c79f-4cdf-a1b0-a3f0b3c1bceb-0	0	4	4	3
